I have been watching to see who listened (and complied) and who shoved it in his face and moved right.

1. I'll bet you a million bucks

Obama does join her.

[Yael]

Yep -- and makes me even more resolute in voting for John

Now that he is out, they can throw the left under the bus.

I am pissed.

4. Those that stayed on board

5. I swear, that will be the final nail in the coffin for me.

If Hillary and Obama debate on Fox, I'll blow up my TV, throw away the papers and switch to Independent. I'll wait until after Maryland's primary next week though, so I can cast my vote for JRE.

6. yes, and he should hold any endorsement

I believe we will see their true colors now. However, if Obama does turn this down it will make him look like a phony regarding him saying he wants "unity" with Republicans. Perhaps that is why Clinton also accepted it? Truly sad.

7. absolutely. They both are courting the Repugants. I keep saying it

but nobody is geetting it. ONE PARTY. It's one party already but
They are making it formally a ONE PARTY SYSTEM.

8. What happens to a country when you have a one-party system?

9. In his victory speech , bama threw in something about stopping the lobbyists -I almost gaggged

dont believe it for a minute...of xourse it may just be becasue the
NYTimes is printing something about his taking money from Exelon (nuclear company) and pushing nuclear energy

So he was doing what he was paid for at the debate - pushing nuclear energy, remember?
