For the ones who have been calling on Hillary to quit
Advertisements [?]
I wonder whether you have already voted.

I think that this is great that, for the first time, many voter still have a choice this late at the game.

For many their chosen candidate left too early, but at least they have a choice, and this is something that all of us should celebrate. And perhaps this will be the push that we need to give many voters a choice starting in 2012.

For 2012, regardless of who wins, let us change the system so that more than 2% of the voters, in unrepresentative states have a chance to select our nominee.

And while we are there, let's change the way we fund the campaigns. Every time that I hear about the million of dollars pouring into the campaigns I am thinking that, first, perhaps time is not bad after all when people can afford to send money (our gas bill for the past three months has been $180, $190 and $200 - 1800 sq ft house) and, two, how much we can do in this country with all this money.

Last, a Republican voter in Texas told CNN that he voted in the Democratic party for Hillary because he considers her more beatable by McCain. No doubt, there have been similar votes for Obama. Do we really want Republicans to determine who is our nominee? Let's close the caucuses and primaries to outside agitators. And while there, let's get rid of caucuses.
