“We’re going to try something a little different,” Obama’s ninety-second speech sums up the absolutely unprecedented event. “We’re going to take advantage of the Internet to bring all of you to the White House to talk about the economy.” So far, more than sixty thousand questions have been submitted.

Clinton needs to drop out immediately and back Obama if the Democrats want to win in the fall (which they should because of the toxic environment for Republicans these days...)[/quote] Well i am sure Hillary will go an support Obama against the Republicans. They need unity now since it is a very very important election.
