I can't imagine why everyone cannot get behind Obama. Everyone complains about how corrupt Washington and how bad the past 8 years were, yet when we finally have a viable candidate, generally unnattached to special interests, everyone thinks he's elitest and inexperienced. Compare Obama and Hill's record, there's not much difference. His benifit is his (and Michelle's) backgrounds and his political method.
So if we're voting on experience, why should you pick Hillary over Obama? And why do people want John McCain in the White House over Obama if Hillary doesn't get the nomination? McCain is a good american, but he's comparable to Medvedev or Raul Castro - all have good intentions, but are incapacitated by the power structure that surrounds them.
If you're voting in the democractic primary then vote for whoever the party elects in November.
And on the note of Florida and Michigan. If you give the uncommitted votes to Obama (they're his), Hillary would only pick up 60 more delegates than Obama but Obama would get even closer to the nomination. Edwards still has his delegates he can award. He'll probably give them to whoever is ahead at the convention, although from what I've seen of him speaking, he's definitely not interested in the same ol same ol in Washington.
