The polls say otherwise... the democratic party disenfranchised a lot of minority voters. My Puerto Rican family and all of the latino community in florida was left to hand by the DNC and all of the large black community in Michigan was left to dry too.

IMO there is a lot of negative regard to the DNC for two straight elections of disenfranchisement.

There is going to be some drama no doubt.

My Puerto Rican family wouldn't think of voting for a Republican unless God shone a light down from Heaven and commanded them to.

Leave it to the DNC to leave people out of the process!

If they're truly democrats, then they'll come around before November. Us Ricans can't stay mad for too long.

I have made it clear that I won't vote for Obama, but I believed that you were right that many of the disgruntled Democrats would come around and vote for BO before November.

The many thousands of new voters that Obama has inspired to join his camp should make up for any loses from the Democrats who won't vote for him, IMO.

Re: To Those Who Declare "A Vote for McCain is a V

One voting group to keep in mind would be the Evangelicals who won't vote at all this year because of McCain. McCain doesn't represent them and they have felt just as disenfranchised as the Hillary supporters.

There are so many variables to consider when trying to figure out this year's presidential race. Good luck!

They don't feel disenfranchised!!! How? There wasn't any reason for that!

Makes no sense!

There do seem to be a lot of Christian folk talking about voting for this Ron Paul fella. CB1 may be on to something.
