Check out this list of the nominees and winners in past U.S. Presidential Elections since 1789.
Look at the nominees and result for years since 1954 when I was born, and you may begin to understand why loyal Democrats my age, are done with trusting the Democratic Party to pick a presidential nominee who can beat the Republican in the General Election.
Since 1954, when General Dwight D. Eisenhower was president, the Democrats have put up only 4 successful nominees for President. Of those, one, Kennedy was assassinated before the end of his first term, Lyndon Johnson enacted Civil Rights legislation, but escalated the Viet Nam War, Carter came in on a ticket of change championed as a Beltway outsider and was able to do NOTHING, not even get US hostages out of Iran. Only Bill Clinton, elected in 1992 was successful getting re-elected for another term and used his 8 years to grow the economy and lift up millions out of poverty for our first period in decades of relative peace and prosperity.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why wise elder ethnic women, blue collar workers and the poor of many colors favor Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nominee over another candidate who promises to come in and change everything as a Washington outsider, especially since this inexperienced candidate is one of only 100 senators, thus already very much an insider. Some say this is a unique situation, and Obama is special, but to observers of American presidential elections, and world history, this is a movie we've seen before and we don't like the ending. Senator McCain and the Republican Party has already started to de-construct Senator Obama for the General Election and to cast himself as the experienced moderate. His crony and lobbyist bought and renamed Diebold and is now in control of lots of electronic voting machines.

It just comes down to this. Four states. Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Take three out of four and you are President. He can't do it. She can with Arkansas to spare. Simple as that.

So you're saying that those machines will only function correctly if Hillary's the nominee. You two sure have a lot in common.

what about the presidents before 1789??>>>>>>>
-
Each Indian Nation had its own leaders and councils.
In Six Nations - now upstate New York and Southern Quebec and Ontario - elder clan mothers chose the leaders from among the men they had known since birth.
The Haudanausanee government, like the Hopi in Old Oraibi has been in continuous leadership since time immemorial.
