Regarding concerns that Clintonite Democrats may support Republican presidential hopeful John McCain (your report, 28 August), I would suggest such acts of Mugwumpery will not be indulged by the party membership.
Having seen Democrat hopes dashed by the most Neocon US government in history, Democrats realise the price that would be paid not only by the US but by the world at large if they failed to elect Barack Obama as president.

The world desired new leadership and Obama is that leader.
