2. I wonder if this primary is a result of America's addicton to Super Sized junk food?

Having seen Super Size Me I'm thinking it's a possibility.

Do I have to tell you that I voted, "I have now been determined brain dead." Or is it painfully obvious? :P

3. Let everybody get their chance to vote, then let's see where we are.
It's a process.

5. Even when Our Nominee has been detirmined
everyone will still get a chance to vote...look at the primaries in PA for the GOP...some still voted for Huckabee and Ron Paul. Just because a nominee had been named, does not stop the process.

7. Next Primaries the DNC should:
1. Have an extensive campaigning time period (maybe two-three months where each candidate can campaign all over the country), and then let all the states vote on the same day - Popular Vote wins. That way every vote from every state matters equally.
2. End this un-Democratic "superdelegate" crap. How can we run around the world "spreading Democracy" when we don't even have one here.

The DCN created this mess. Extending the primaries into the Summer, just before the convention? What were they thinking?
Letting the democratic "elite" get the opportunity to squash the will of the electorate? What were they thinking?

This prolongued, bitter battle has divided this Party beyond repair, in my opinion. I'm one of the casualties. :)

6. Let people vote
or not. I'd be equally happy with a gracious concession speech from Hillary after the May 6th returns.

However, we must have a candidate before the convention. We need to start full steam ahead on our offensive against McCain as soon as possible.

8. As stated above
even when the nominee has been detirmined, the process does not stop. The Primaires will continue.
