CNN's Sasha Johnson reports that when televisions broadcast Barack Obama's comments on the Iraq war, midway through his election night speech, some Hillary Clinton supporters at her campaign headquarters began to boo.

So they don't agree and that's news? Wonder what Britney is doing tonight?

Carrie   January 8th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Obama will be back! Enjoy your fifteen minutes, Hillary.

Sara   January 8th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Now I can see how that would bring the country together.

Steven Bengtson Sr.   January 8th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

CNN is on a anti-Clinton campaign! Lighten up Rupert, we are noticing!

Nick   January 8th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

That's part of what I don't understand here. You can see it in the comments here, too. There is a strong dislike of Obama among the Hillary supporters, which seems to be predicated on little more than the idea that he had the gall to run against her. The Obama supporters, on the other hand, just seem to feel that Obama is a better candidate. Little of the even-keel discussion here appears to come from Hillary supporters. I'm not saying that no one on an even keel would support Hillary - just that Obama supporters are not at all cannibalistic.

Sean   January 8th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Classy.

John L   January 8th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

Of course they boo'ed. What do you expect from Hillary supporters.

Mike in Kentucky   January 8th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

So you are reporting that some Clinton supporters at a victory celebration, booed their opponent when he appeared on televisions at that gathering.

So what…..where's the news?

S.K.M. Boston Mass   January 8th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

There will always be some bad apples in every basket. As an Obama supporter, let me say "GO TO HELL RASMUSSEN!" Why, oh why did you build up my hopes? So you could crush them under your inflated Zogby boots?! Anyways. Senator Clinton pulled off the entirely unexpected. She didn't even expect this, no one thought this could happen! It's incredible. She deserves to be congratulated for running a TOUGH campaign. Best of all, I'm so proud to see so many people my age getting involved with politics. The turnout is getting better and better and we'll continue to break records, and independents will continue to lean closer and closer to our great party. Thank God for America.

Latoya   January 8th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

CLASSY.

Toni   January 8th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

I did notice that Mr. McCain and Mrs. Clinton could not speak from their own hearts and minds but both had to read a pre-written speech. Mr. Obama did not and he delivered a fantastic off the cuff speech that was stirring. And I was not for Mr. Obama at the start. But he knows how to truly inspire all Americans and proves it by speaking without a teleprompter or a written speech. His words were his words and theirs were likely written by a speech writer and not their own words.

Mike in Kentucky   January 8th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Fair and balanced….fair and balanced!! Right.

fabooj, Los Angeles, CA   January 8th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Oh noes! Booing! Hey CNN, I got a news flash for you…When it rained in LA recently, it got everything wet! Really…I even got video. It was amazing.

Jordan   January 8th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

I've been to rallies for both Obama and Hillary. All I have to say is that when your surrounded by Obama supporters there is a general feeling of happiness and friendship. Around Clintons supporters it feels more like a military camp. They are not so much out to change things for the better but more so on a vendetta to win the white house and destroy all other candidates in the process.

US Citizen   January 8th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Barack congratulates Hillary and encourages his supporters to.

Hillary supporters apparently missed the "act your age not your shoe size" seminar.

Mandy   January 8th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Not surprising at all.

Whatever. It WOULD by her supporters that are so negative…

Tammy   January 8th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

This is newsworthy? Some lame jerk booing at an election night party? Mrs. Clinton cannot be held responsible for every person who pops into her campaign headquarters.

Can you please continue to report actual news (you have been doing well this evening for the most part)?

stirlingmclaughlin   January 8th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

It just goes to show, if you can't win honestly, fake tears. It works every time.

JimS.   January 8th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

CNN, is it really necessary to report this sort of trivia? Exactly what does it help to "tattle" this sort of info? I'm sure this sort of isolated event happens at every candidate's gatherings on both sides of the aisle. Do you need to get down into the gutter for a "scoop"? Get a real story.

Jon Cruz   January 8th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

I've participated in many campaigns. This happens on all campaigns. I am sure it's happening at Obama locations right now, as Clinton speaks. Get over it. He lost. Stop detracting from the winner tonight.

Nat   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

Were there any adults there?

Hoping for real change   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

Bill was the comeback kid ……….Obama is the CAN DO Kid!!

aj   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

IF HILLARY WINS THE NOMINATION I GUESS I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. SHE IS A FAKE AND PHONY AND YOU PEOPLE FELL FOR HER FAKE TEARS. THAT'S JUST WHAT AMERICA NEEDS IS BILL CLINTON AND HILLARY BACK IN OFFICE. THE CLINTONS HAVE HAD THEIR CHANCE. IT'S TIME FOR A NEW DIRECTION.

THIS WORLD IS GOING TO BE IN WORSE SHAPE IF THE CLINTONS ARE BACK IN POWER.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE LOOK AT HILLARY FOR WHAT SHE HAS DONE IN 35 YEARS NOT WHAT HER HUSBAND HAS DONE. I GUESS CRYING GOES A LONG WAY. DID ANYONE NOTICE HOW QUICKLY HER TEARS DRIED AND SHE IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO HER ANGRY AND NASTY TONE.

SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OR SKILLS TO UNITE ANYONE.

Thomas   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

Everybody knows that HRC cried to get votes from the women. That is the cheap way of getting votes through sentiments. Cmon Hillary fight and get votes, not crying for votes.
Go Obama Go. Never turn back

Mike in Kentucky   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

"Carrie January 8, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Obama will be back! Enjoy your fifteen minutes, Hillary."

It's not 15 minutes, it's 35 years.

Adam   January 8th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

…very disappointing.

some guy   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Boo hoo! When Obama asked his supporters to congratulate Hillary for her win, NO ONE clapped. Get over it!

Sabrina   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

"They said this day would never come"

Alot said that about tonight, and Hillary's Win.
Congrats Hil! You did it!

steve   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Sasha, Could you stick to NEWS reporting please, this sounds like a junior high gossip plot. PLEASE treat the voters with intelligence, not this pettiness. Perhaps a refresher in REAL journalism would be helpful.

scott in TN   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Boos will always be around in politics…..so what. Clinton will go althe way wiha BIG WIN

David-Paul Niner   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Could have just been random timing.

I thought she was a little over-the-top earlier tonight when she accused Bill Clinton of having an "offensive tone" in his speech this past weekend.

Everyone reporting this election clearly has their biases, but she doesn't seem as adept at formulating intelligent conjecture about the candidate's motivations as the remainder of CNN's Best Team (which I believe they are, BTW).

ZiG   January 8th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

Funny how Obama's camp gave a respectful applause for Hillary. Class act.

pete   January 8th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

It;s OK. Bt morning Hillary's folks will realize that if she wins the nomination, she will need him. (other way around, too.)

Jose Card - Independent   January 8th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Obama should have cried strategically the day before.

barb in Missouri   January 8th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

I am a diehard Dem. I was the only one in my neighborhood with a Dukakis sign in my front yard way back when. But I will NEVER put a Hillary Clinton sign in my yard.

Les Merz   January 8th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

I believe if Cllnton wins we will all be in deep deep crap. I would vote for your dog before that clueless old bat!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE LOST NEW HAMPSHIRE   January 8th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

The actions of a few do not the whole of her supporters make…

He lost New Hampshire because he has no experience. He lost New Hampshire because he has no real plan to help us. He lost New Hampshire because he will leave 15,000,000 people without health insurance. He lost New Hampshire because he voted PRESENT instead of taking a stand one way or another while an active senator (for the one year he was active). He lost New Hampshire because we really don't know anything about him. He lost New Hampshire because he tends to be arrogant without substance. He lost New Hampshire because he is clearly a divider (just watch him speak to the whites as opposed to the blacks); he becomes a different person; he sets the tone of black against white. He lost New Hampshire because it wasn't a caucus and people couldn't have a do-over vote and scheme between parties. He lost in New Hampshire because HE is false!

HERE'S TO NEW HAMPSHIRE!

richard   January 8th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

I'd comment - but I'm afraid my kindegarten teacher may be getting a phone call soon.

John   January 8th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

OBAMA is still in this. No matter how you cut it, he is for us. Clinton sheds tears when she doesn't get HER WAY!!

Mitch   January 8th, 2008 11:19 pm ET

I wonder if these goofy Hillary supporters realize that both Hillary and Obama are going to get the EXACT SAME NUMBER of delegates from New Hampshire, and that Obama still has a lead in the delegate count?

Bird, Charlotte, NC   January 8th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

Oh well, they bood. As long as Hills didn't spill anymore girly croc tears, I"m ok.

Sara   January 8th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

So that's the secret….fake emotions…..

Jon Cruz   January 8th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

Also, to add, here's a bigger story for the ticker:

A WOMAN JUST WON A MAJOR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

*THAT* is newsworthy.

FLo   January 8th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

Why is this news?

Sympathy Card   January 8th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Congratulations are in order to Bill Clinton, I mean Hillary…GREAT JOB!!!

Kathy   January 8th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

Get off her back. It isn't very appropriate behavior - but it isn't news.

John   January 8th, 2008 11:21 pm ET

like this is new…………opponents boo'ing the others, common??? that is nothing new! and it seems that people are very naive in some states! smart democrates should try to get a Clinton-Obama on the democratic ticket and then you get 16 years of solid democratic pleasure in the White House!!

andrew M   January 8th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! AMERICA

BUSHE'S AND NOW CLINTONS?? TWO FAMILIES LEADING A NATION OF 300 MILLION PEOPLE FOR 30 YEARS?? AND YOU'RE ALL CALLING FOR A CHANGE??? Give me a break. What do you think the world thinks?? SOME KIND OF A TWO FAMILY MONORCHY??

Bill   January 8th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

What a surprise a Clinton hater like Tucker would find fault. Wasn't your mom also a Clinton hater? The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

I guess you can't blog about how wrong you were about the polls. You guys pay for polls that you hope will drive her out. I bet you guys will be quoting the poll in my daughters middle school if it shows Hillary Clinton behind.

lisamz   January 8th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

I'm not surprised, very classy indeed.

Ian Whitmore   January 8th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Of course they did! Hillary Clinton represents the Democrats for the Status Quo. She fears change and is only using the term "change" because it works so well for Obama. She will clearly read anything written FOR her, Obama speaks from the heart.

CJ Wolfson   January 8th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Hilliary won one state but she one the popular vote of that state but she didn't as many delegates as Obama did Obama won 11 and Clinton won ten the last time i checked 11 more then 10

Dee   January 8th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Said!!! this is why Democratic's cant we …they can't stick together.

Canoga Park   January 8th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Wow. As a Hillary supporter, I was just embarrassed. Someone should send out a memo or something. That was a real turn off. Show more class, folks.

Rachel Buchanan   January 8th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

That's pretty rude. Just because you don't agree with someone it doesn't give you the right to start booing them. How would they feel if Obama supporters began booing Clinton? They wouldn't like it very much. I'm 100% for Obama and hope he beats her in every single primary. I just saw that Clinton won NH, so I hope he beats her in every OTHER primary. OBAMA!!!

John O.   January 8th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Typical of the Clintons. First "tears," now boos by supporters. Leave it to the Clintons to run a classy and authentic campaign. If only the Golden Globes were taking place…

When will the county wake up and realize that no one is entitled to the presidency. When will the country wake up and ask her about her purported 35 years of "experience." When will the country realize that Ms. Clinton is riding ther husband's coat tails.

Christian, Tampa FL   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Hillary's supporters should realize that us Obama supporters could sink her in the general election if we wanted. We want a new majority of all sides, not more partisan division. If she can't preside over a united party, she sure as heck isn't going to preside over a united country.

MT   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Yeah…and I also didn't think the day would come when a politician was crying her way to getting votes…guess I was wrong. How lame.

Obama supporters - our battle has just begun. This is good in that we still get the same number of delegates as HRC out of NH but the symbolic second place will motivate us even more. He will be the nominee.

OBAMA '08

Patrick in Kentucky   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Congrats Hillary! Love yah. While I am still in awe of Barak I can't help but be thrilled that Hillary proved them all wrong. Indeed!

Tlc   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Why is it news some of you are asking. Well, when Hillary was boo she acted as if it were unacceptable for voters to react to a candidate in that fashion. Now, many of her supporters feel that booing is fine as long as the candidate isn't Senator Clinton and she is acting the same way. In this, as in so many other things, she is inconsistant.

Mindy   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

This is news? Whoopdy-doo.

Campaigners at Clinton's headquarters booing the person who just won the last caucus…how surprising!

RadioNC   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Bill and Hillary Clinton are living proof that stupid people should never vote.

Dee   January 8th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Said!!! this is why Democratic's cant win :-) …they can't stick together.

Jerry,DENVER,CO   January 8th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

Hahaha i'd like to see that happen here in Denver. See Obama supporters around here wouldn't stand for that, there's too many of us, we'd overpower the boos with chants of "hope", "change", you know, things that matter. Then again Obama supporters have more class than Clinton supporters, as this story shows. One thing is for certain, Barack Obama is the best thing to happen to American politics since John F. Kennedy. Anyone who denies or disputes this fact will have a hard time arguing, seeing that in a matter of time this will indisputable historical fact. Don't get caught on the wrong side of the fence. Vote to make America better, not for more of the same thinking we've seen over the past two decades. Show New Hamsphire that you disagree. Obama '08!!!

Bob   January 8th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

I agree with stirlingmclaughlin, A little tears CAN go a long Way!

Jenna   January 8th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

The network is calling it "an upset"! I would rather vote for Mickey Mouse than Hillary. If this is an upset then I'm the Pope. Keep the faith, Obama! I will vote for you over this "woman" any day, and I'm a woman! And those tears…. I'm a lawyer, ask me to cry on cue - anyday, anytime. I'm done with the dynesties - a friend of mine pointed out that there has been an Bush or Clinton as Pres or VP since 1980. Where has that gotten us? More debt, more dead children at "war" and less money for our own citizens - I'm not religious but LET US PRAY!

OMG!   January 8th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

This is not news. This is age old rivalry at its best. While it may not be proper, it is certainly not news.

Bob Watson   January 8th, 2008 11:25 pm ET

Why did'nt her supporters boo her boo hoo
I suggest the proud husband should give his wife a cigar.

Jacquelyn   January 8th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

It just goes to show the maturity level of a Clinton supporter is that of a two year old.

danielo   January 8th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

YES WE CAN!!

Yeah Right   January 8th, 2008 11:26 pm ET

Hillary, you have 48 more states, and unless you can produce more "tears", you better expect to be steam-rolled by Generation Obama!

I wonder how much she paid those random young people standing behind her to be there? They are among the only ones in the building!

IL voter   January 8th, 2008 11:27 pm ET

not sure what change obama has been talking abt. has failed to mention exactly how does he achieve that…and ofcourse obama was boo'd by clinton supporters. the reverse also happens..i've seen it happen..how come thats not reported…very interesting indeed..talking 'change' does not make it happen, change in this country happens when congress agrees with president and vice-versa!

john, santa clara, ca   January 8th, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Right on HIllary : )

You got the ball !

Do not drop it.

GapMuscles   January 8th, 2008 11:27 pm ET

Once again, CNN shows how useless they are. "America's Best Political Team on Television" makes me want to go watch Fox.

Anyway, Congrats, Hillary! To Obummer: "They said this night would never come…"

….it won't

Jessa   January 8th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

We CAN DO this.
We are fired up and ready to go.
We don't have time for booing…we're working toward a new America.

A fan of CNN   January 8th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Thank you for the opportunity to submit my humble input. I think very highly of both Obama and Clinton. I am Canadian, however spent many years living in the States. The Canadians love American politics because 90% of the residents of our country live within 90 miles of the Canadian US border. According to my large number of colleagues (business - Toronto) and the Canadian News…this is the most exciting political race in recent history.

First of all I want to say that Obama in my opinion spoke from the heart and gave an unprecedented speech and Hillary although spoken from the heart, had a written speech she referred to throughout her presentation (the optics were not comparable). Barrack spoke so eloquently about the impact of the results of what he has achieved and has never played the race card (thank goodness), but spoke about every challenge all possible american group could have and would have faced (slaves, women, union workers, unemployed etc). His speech was superior to that of Hillary's on many levels.

I love them both and would be happy with either as President…while at the same time acknowledging that I don't have a vote, being a Canadian….however one that loves to follow the American political scene.

We in Canada love CNN and I continue to watch you as the first channel I turn on every day!!!!!

Keep up the great work.

Please don't forget your customers north of the border..you have many fans and we appreciate any report you make of Canadian news.

Geri Sacramento   January 8th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

How about earlier this afternoon when Hillary walked along a sidewalk where people were standing, smiled, and started to speak, and they turned their backs on her because they were Edwards and Obama supporters. Not much class there.

Jack   January 8th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Anybody who sees appeal soulless politicians boos when they see their opponent

Ron M   January 8th, 2008 11:28 pm ET

Who cares. Report on something that's important. Sounds like Sasha Johnson's writing for a high school newspaper.

Monique   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Hillary and Bill are acting like childish republicans. If they keep it up they will be the "inexperienced ones". It is funny how people show their true colors when they realize they are not number one.

Jeff from Jersey   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

After the bald faced lies Obama told about Clinton and the lies he constantly tells to his supporters about her supporters I'd boo him in an instant and mean it!

These results are encouraging in that maybe a few of the voters that Obama has put to sleep are finally waking up to the fact that Obama is a phony that would do even more damage to screw things up as badly as or worse than George WORST HAS..

Anthony   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Shocking [sarcasm]… why is this newsworthy?

Jacque Bauer   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

With such widespread dissension reported within the Hillary camp, it is entirely possible that those boos were actually aimed AT Hillary and in support of Obama's statement.

We want CHANGE
We need CHANGE
We demand CHANGE
We choose … old fart Clinton and older fart McCain?!

Those New Hampsters sure know how to pick 'em

Jarratt Willis, Nacogdoches Texas   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Shameful

Observant   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

"some guy" - You may want to check your ears… There was sustained and cheerful applause when Obama asked them to congratulate HillBot. HillBot wasn't even remotely gracious towards her opponents. Never even mentioned 'em. That, and the booing, now that's REAL class.

lj   January 8th, 2008 11:29 pm ET

Those fake tears may have worked in NH, but they DEFINITELY will NOT work in the southeast US. We all have to cry some tears at some time and get on with it!!!

Rob   January 8th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

I thought we were united…way to go Hillary supporters. Go figure!!

The Poltergeist   January 8th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Barack Obama for President!!! It's Time for a CHANGE!!!!

S Williams   January 8th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Funny . . . what happened to the backdrop of Madeline Albright, Gen Wes and the other old geezer crowd? They disappeared.

They were replaced by a bunch of 15 year olds. How calculating.

Noticed that Hillary read EVERY line of her victory speech? Nothing is unscripted with them.

A couple of fake tears to manipulate women, gather up some youngsters as stage props and voila - you've got a victory.

They are masters of the politics. We get what we deserve.

Ann   January 8th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Of course some boo, but don't you think Clinton's supporters were at her headquarters? Obama just repeated same story.

And its the economy stupid!

Jon   January 8th, 2008 11:30 pm ET

Hillary's a fake

CaliMom   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

John Edwards should drop out.

It looks to me like he is only in this thing to draw down Obama's numbers.

John, think about it, your 14% or so should have gone to Obama.

You are helping rig this primary season in Hillary's favor. I'll bet you and Hill already have a deal, we all know you'd be only so excited to be her VP.

That's why you're really hanging in isn't it…

This system is a failure.

ted   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

Did anyone else notice that when Hillary Clinton gave her victory speech, she acknowledged all the other candidates–with the exception of Mike Gravel? Does she have a personal grudge against Gravel? I mean, she thanked Dodd and Biden, and they aren't even in the race any more. An apology is in order.

Josh, Chicago, Il   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

No, Latoya what's CLASSY is when the Edwards supporter was shouting in Hillary's face but she still stuck her hand out to shake hands, and he pulled his hands back.

So, let's see…a candidate who has class, or people who support her acting out….oh, wait, supporters of every candidate have some like that in the mix.

Oh, has anyone heard the line where Obama's voting record is IDENTICAL to Hillary's, only she's officially on the record with the Iraq/Iran resolution, because he was too much of a coward to actually vote on a controversial issue? Ask about his relationship with Lieberman.

Whatevs.

John   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

I am praying for you Hillary Most Americans hate you but Jesus Loves you. He who hates fellow human being is murderer - That is what the Bible says.

Lisa   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

So they booed, who cares. Roll on Hillary!!

Amy "Thrawn"   January 8th, 2008 11:31 pm ET

A vote for Hillary is vote for corporations. SHe gets more money from big business than any other candidate. Do your research before you vote please!!!! Why would big business want her to win ,huh? Don't vote against the U.S. please!

Bethany   January 8th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

Hillary and her supporters need to get over themselves and act like adults!

Daniel Verklas   January 8th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

I am so happy and releived that Hillary won tonight. I deeply feel that She is the one to bring this country back together and I'm waiting in South Carolina to vote for Her on the 26th. It just proves that you should not beleive everything you read in the polls. I also feel like she does not get a square deal from people like Chris Mathews and ome other that seem to put Her down every night for some reason. After all she has never been the President before so why would they think she is old stuff. And Her husband was a great President except for some of the scadels that were never as bad as the ones John Kennedy went through that were always covered up. She is Her own person and how can you beat getting two presidents for the price of one. It has to help our country a great deal over a person who has no track record.
Congratulations Hillary you deserve it after all your hard work.

philip   January 8th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

I can understand the booing… its Hilary's turn to be president. The Obama crowd just doesn't get it.

IHNCNH   January 8th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

People are ignorant. Hillary cries and she gets more votes?? You morons want that for a president??

At least Obama wasn't blown out in a 98 % caucasian state…wait until he hits the south! Barack will win and RID THE STATUS QUO THAT EXISTS IN THIS COUNTRY!

numbers   January 8th, 2008 11:32 pm ET

Holy Moley! How much is Lou Dobbs loving that hillary won new hampshire!!?? Has anyone else heard him? I mean I totally understand that his major point is "don't count anyone out" but I COME ONE!!! Hillary barely squeaked by Obama tonight and he is talking like Hillary knocked out Obama with one punch and then rode off into the sunset! I think ol' Lou needs to heed some of his own adviceaahh..

Laura   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

Classy, Clinton supporters! Claaaaaaassy.

LOOK   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

Jobs had beginning shipping to OVER SEA, Man and Man kissing, marrying on TV during Bill CLinton years. If Hillary Clinton is President … What next……?

brad   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

This will be the last time they will be all joyus because she will not win again.

Shawn   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

News Flash, News Flash!!!

Just about everyone except Hillary supporters have been booing her!

BIG FREAKING DEAL!

Hey, why don't we conduct a poll on it?

PA girl   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

clinton supporters are as blind as bush. clinton was suppose to sweep this race.. clinton crying just made me think or nixon… anther thing is that clintons whole makeup was and is fake… Barak is the change agent, perhaps people will see that before its too late. why elect clinton if no change will happen, crying wont do. OBAMA / EDWARDS 08

Scientific   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

Hey, Sabrina! When Barack said those words, they were couched in a larger, historical context. For you to shrink them to fit tonight is a joke.

Just like Hillary's supporters booing Obama. Grow up, people. It's not sports. This is about the future of the country, and regardless whoever wins, they'll need the help of the other Democrats in the race to shape a better tomorrow.

Anonymous   January 8th, 2008 11:33 pm ET

Um…no. This is the full sentence:
“When I am president of the United States, we will end this war in Iraq and bring our troops home.”
They booed after Obama said that he'd be the next president of the United States.
Kind of misleading report …way to pay attention!

Erik   January 8th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

Some Guy,
Your television must not be on mute if you wish to hear the clapping of Obamas supporters for the competion. Oh, and no Boooos will be heard.

anti-Hillary voter   January 8th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

oh and that was in Nicaragua… forgot to write that in

Dot   January 8th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

Um…no. This is the full sentence:
“When I am president of the United States, we will end this war in Iraq and bring our troops home.”
They booed after Obama said that he'd be the next president of the United States.

Look for a Resounding loss by Omaha in Michigan. And remember that you heard it here first.

Anthony   January 8th, 2008 11:34 pm ET

Hillary Clinton would be a GOOD president, but Barack Obama would be a GREAT president. The United States needs a leader who is different and genuine from all the rest. Barack Obama is offering change in Washington D.C. for the American people. We all need to take advantage of the opportunity we have now because we never know when we will have another chance!!!
YES WE CAN!

Wayne   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

I got an idea. Let's vote for Hillary because of her gender. Yeah.Yeah. We will be the greatest generation just because of that. It will make history one sentence long in the history books: "Hillary Clinton, first woman president." That will be our legacy. Nevermind the real issues. Go ahead goofballs. Waste your vote for something so stupid. If Bill left it behind, so should you.

Wynona   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Hillary enjoy your win but it ain't over…Obama is biting on your arse… SC is coming up and guess what? All those votes she thinks she has is going to obama. Obama is just getting warmed up..He is going to eat hilary alive at the debates.

cindy   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Why is the media so strong for Obama? A man who refuses to pledge the flag or wear a flag pin on his shirt.

chris   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

why is this news, this is clear anti clinton bias. give me a break.

Smiley   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Fake tears…so calculated. Give me a break…but whatever works!

Many of the old Dems owe Bill. He told them to get out there and campaign for his wife!

John Edwards need to get out of the race!!!

LT   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Real classy, Clinton supporters. Enjoy your fun, because Obama is taking Nevada and then the White House.

Kristina   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Her tears were just for show. Admit it and then move on. Obama will be and should be the president in 08. You had Obama speaking from the heart and his first response was congrats to Clinton. However, Clinton didn't even acknowledge anyone else until the end of her speech. Which by the way you could tell she was reading from notecards. At least memorize the speech for your voters.

IHNCNH   January 8th, 2008 11:35 pm ET

Oh and by the way…I live in New Hampshire so I see all of the propaganda…It was disturbing and made me sick to my stomach how all of the radio stations, news channels (WMUR, who conducts the polls and is an ABC affiliate), and the rest of the media hardly mentioned Obama, but couldn't resist the news story of Hillary crying and showing her real side….especially you Scott Spradling…I used to respect you.

BIAS IS BULL

Tony   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

this country has 95% of ppl belief in Christianity.
Do you really believe ppl want to put a Muslin in the white house?
Hillary is the future! great job Bill.

Blago   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

I booed when he made so many questionable deals then acted like it was no big deal….

Jakob   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

I think Obama was very civil about the whole thing, and focused on a positive future in his speech. He was very dignified about hillary's breakdown, and has not shown her near the hostility she's shown him. What her supporters do is not a reflection of her, but it is a reflection of the kind of people voting for her. Please, show some respect in the future for the other candidates, don't be petty.

Adin San Francisco   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

There are a large majority of us independent voters who will vote for Obama for president but will NEVER vote for Hillary.

Democrats - if you nominate her (given her negative ratings), you'll be once again nominating a loser.

Maybe it is time for Bloomberg?

Dwight Ragle   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

Typical Clinton gutter politics, the kind of thing that made Bill the President. What should we expect from Clinton supporters? If they had brains they would be rooting for someone else.

Marianne Beasley   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

Hill Bill all the way. Barrack Obama, No Way Jose.

Tim Calhoun '08, Moreno Valley, CA   January 8th, 2008 11:36 pm ET

Figures, since she voted for the war all the way down the line.

Sani of Asia   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

Yahoo. Hip hip hooray!

I'm truly happy. As a world citizen I'm happy for the people of Asia that Hillary Wins.

Thank you America.

Lynne   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

Looks like some got their widdle feewings hurt when he got booed. This ain't no love-in, folks, it's an election. You better grow a few more layers of skin if you're already pouting in primary season.

vote mark pera   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

not too surprising. so much for uniting america

Justica   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

No one is looking at the fact that Hillary and Bill are life-long dog-eared politicians and she still came very close to losing in New Hampshire.

If she was so "great", she should have won by far more than she did in this election. Everyone is looking at this a "hugh" victory, but she should have!!!.

SHE SHOULD HAVE WON!! SHE'S AN "OLD" TIMER, AND HAS HER HUSBAND AS HER ACE IN THE HOLE! Nothing she does is on her own! I give her no validity!!!

MR   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

GOOD LUCK HILLARY–THIS TIME WERE KNEE DEEP!!!
BUT I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT.

Sarah   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

How rude; in the end, everybody is on the same team anyways (or they should be)

the young vote   January 8th, 2008 11:37 pm ET

yes hillary lost in iowa, so in the debate decides to attack barack but doesn't work when edwards comes to his side…then she decides to cry because the news reported her as unemotional…so the women in new hampshire really weren't thinking when they decided to vote for her. mannn it was so closee..but def. not over obama will beat hillary in the south..

-obama '08 supporter for 2 years now.

Jeff   January 8th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Senator Clinton has won. It is over (at least come Tuesday). Everything is turning out as expected. Sad. Sort of pathetic really. This almost makes me ashamed to be an American citizen. On the positive side, I guess this pretty much gives the Democrats the White House.

Omar.P   January 8th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

So she won…..but look by how much! South Carolina, wake up! Obama is electable!!!

Ryan Scarola   January 8th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

She did indeed find her voice in New Hampshire!

Congratulations again, and again…again.

I'm so glad she's taken control of her own campaign!!! If she wants to run the country, I think she's a bright cookie, and will be able to run this uphill battle election!

mike the canadian   January 8th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

this is not news

Ron, TX   January 8th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Nat- of course there were no adults there. The Clinton campaign is constantly in strategy mode. They need to convince young people to vote for her. What better way than to load the stage behind her with some 18-20 year olds and make it look like it's Hillary Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Clinton fans can't even be happy with their slim win over Obama. They have to BOO him? Wow. Great way to inspire people, make them hate!

Nancy   January 8th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

Don't you mean "Billary" Clinton supporters……it is a two-for-one deal, just as before!

Corine Clark   January 8th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

I am a Black woman who was planning to vote for Hillary Clinton. After the scheme "Slick Willie" and "Conniving Hillary" pulled yesterday, I will be booing her on election day. I will vote for McCain before I vote for another Clinton EVER. As she said about George Bush, "he's running the White House like a plantation." She played the role of the " Missus of the plantation " yesterday. Boohoohoo, Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. She's a cold, power hungry woman. I have lost all respect for her.

Wall   January 8th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

I agree with the previous postings that booing at a campaign rally against the opposition is not news worthy. I am fairly certain you could expect to hear some of that at many different campaign rallies against all of the candidates at one time or another. The whole point of those rallies is to show support for your candidate and get fired up to work for the candidate of your choice. CNN please stick to the NEWS.

Cricket   January 8th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

I wonder if Vince Foster would have enjoyed her victory.

Samantha   January 8th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

I see a lot of generalizing about Clinton supporters throughout the user comments, I congratulated Obama last week, and obviously I am stoked about Clinton's win tonight. If they booed, than that was not cool, but that's not ALL Clinton supporters, and I am sure Obama supporters, a few of them, did the same with Clinton when Obama mentioned her win in his speech.
This doesn't make me change my opinion of Clinton or Obama.

ben   January 8th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

Her "tears" did the job with the help of the media showing it time and again

RT   January 8th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

Hillary sure is a uniter, isn't she?

dibmita   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

CNN had thought Obama would win but he didn't. So they had to dig for something negetive to report about Hillary Campaign, however trivial. Just shows how much anti-Hillary CNN actually is. Way to go CNN!!

OBAMA NOT QUALIFIED   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

CAN-DO? The only thing Obama could do politically up to now is "talk alot of talk". Please tell us one solid stand, example of leadership, or specific and legimate way he is going bring change! Spew rhetoric and make blanket statements is all he COULD DO up to now ….

CaliMom   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Is anybody really surprised?

Where have you people been for the past 24 hours?

Did you miss Bill Clinton slandering Obama and trying to sell his line that Obama is copying Hillary.

What about when Bill said Obama lacks experience?

What REAL experience does Hillary have besides being a senator for a few years herself.

I am sorry folks but being first lady of the United States or laughably Arkansas is not experience to me. Well, maybe she knows how to throw a good party…

This is scary!!! She has followed George Bush down every wrong turn within the past 6 years and refuses to even acknowledge that she has made mistakes in doing so. She just voted to give him the power to pull an Iraq on Iran. Are you people retarded or what???

HILLARY IS GEORGE BUSH IN A SKIRT. Wake up before we all pay for it.

Eric Martinez in NYC   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Who can seriously look at Hilary Clinton and think that she is:

1 - Sincere

2 - ANYTHING NEW AT ALL

Obama is not done, not by a long shot.

anon   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

When will the candidates (and those who support them) learn that in November the Democratic party will need to support one candidate and all of the backlashing will only hurt that effort?

elana   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

that will certainly help bring the country together. Was it Ben Franklin that said that "the people will get the government they deserve" Well then, I guess we will have another conniving, classless, hypocritical president. I am disgusted. But…If Obama can hope, so can I- GO OBAMA

Will, OKC, OK   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

If Democrats really want another eight years of Republican control of the White House, keep on supporting Hillary Clinton for the nomination.

This race is the Democrats to lose, so hopefully they will wise up and realize that there is no way that moderate Republicans or independents are going to vote for Hillary Clinton against any of the top three contenders for the Republican nomination.

ron   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

1 win does not make a presidential candidate. She's still Republican lite, and after her vote to support the invasion of Iran, I as a Blue Dog Democrat will have to hold my nose if she is my only choice in the general election.

Engdda   January 8th, 2008 11:41 pm ET

Oh God

WHY CNN REPORTER IS JUMPING TO STEER DIVISSION. Which is very sad to listen and read from CNN.
CNN You are nor realy grown up to the higher level professionalism.

STOP steering division in the name of reportage.

Lofo   January 8th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

And I'll be boo-ing through the next four years if Hillary gets elected.

Dave   January 8th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

Time for a change? Definitely! After 8 years of Clinton, and 12 years of the Bush's…you all better realize another Clinton WON'T bring change!!! Luckily when it's all said and done, no (man) is going to vote for Hillary.

I thank God Hillary has won.Its the only way Huckabee will win big in November.Hillary will never win any southern state and Republican wake up nominate Huckabee as the only person who will beat Hillary.If you wanna beat hillary dont be like her.If Huckabee wont win nomination its our end.Theres no one else who can beat Hillary remember its Bill running again

ciko43   January 8th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

am 65 now, and am waiting to see a strong American president to lead this country. Hillary, I pray to God that HE answer my prayer. You are the strongest American woman with the heart of gold we ever have. You keep your family together,and you managed to go through the life' trouble water intact. It takes courage and strong will and most of it: the willingness to forgive. Love is above everything. I am sure, God will help you to unite the American people, Democrate, Republic and independet under on roof, where the God's love will always shown on everybody' face. GOD bless you and family and … AMERICA

Kay [YES WE CAN!]   January 8th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

If you notice, Hillary did not win BY MUCH. Obama can overtake her and he Will.

&& half of the towns in NH have not submitted their total yet!! Way to fire the gun early corporate America.

Here Comes THE CHANGE!!!

Dean, Pittsburgh   January 8th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

I watched both speeches, and I am not the least bit surprised. Barack offered a sincere congratulation to Hillary for her hard fought victory, as well as declaring the GOP candidates as patriots.

Hillary mentions people who are still left in the campaign (Obama, Ewards, Kucinich, and Richards) as almost an afterthought, all the while giving props to Dodd and Biden.

The lack of class illustrated by SO many (but not all) of the HRC supporters reinforces why this country would divide into a rift far beyond comprehension under the New York Senator.

I truly fear for this nation if we can not find ourselves united, rather than divided…

Matt   January 8th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Um, what about all the Obama supporters who booed Hillary at that dinner in New Hampshire.

Oh, but I guess it's only classless and "dividing" when Hillary supporters do it, right?

Trembling for my country   January 8th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Fewer than 150,000 voters in an insignificant state vote and any of it is earth-shaking news? This isn't history, it's a sitcom.

Nice the way people tell pollsters they'll vote for the black man, but when they mark their secret ballot they just can't do it. Keep your eye on the undervote for Obama–there's a real story there.

Running out of Hope, Newport News, Va.   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Obama will still win. Hillary and Bill have essence showed just how low they will stoop to get back in white house. How do you spell integrity? O-B-A-M-A!!!

b hammer   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

I think everyone needs to wake-up. Hillary cried on national television because she said it's hard running a campaign. The experience she keeps talking about should have reminded here, it is hard running a campaign. Your husband was President twice, she did participate in his campaign trail didn't she? I don't know about everyone else, but do you want a President that cries when things don't go there way?

Tom Davie   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Thankyou for this piece of news designed to again SPIN against Clinton and for Omaba there CNN.

Why dont you just come out of the closet and officially ENDORSE Obama.

Mark   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Sole reason she won….because she cried yesterday and women voters sympathize with emotions. BOO HOO! If she was crying now because the campaign trail is so hard, then wake up Hillary and smell the roses, the White House isn't any easier. You disgust me, also take it easy on the makeup, lets save some of the cake for your birthday.

guy in VA   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

oh my gosh!!! not the infamous boos from supporters of a DIFFERENT candidate!!!…. has anyone else been noticing cnn seems a tad bit anti-hillary….

qutepups   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

AS Abraham Lincoln once said…"God Bless the Women in America…"

Mike Shaw   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

What do a handful of supporters have to do with an entire campaign or candidate? She congratulated Obama, and Obama congratulated Hillary. Why does the media always have to make something out of nothing? We need to stay focused on what's relevant. She won tonight, Obama won last week. We have a good contest ahead and shouldn't be bothered by these headlines that are written to distract our attentions.

john   January 8th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

I am Australian and am watching the complexities of the US elections unfold. I now have an understanding how caucuses and primaries have delegates allocated to the contenders. What I don't understand is the following: what happens to delegates allocated to losers? e.g. in the case of Edwards, if he loses, what happens to the delegates that were going to vote for him at the national convention. Do they split their votes equally between Obama and Clinton?

Mike   January 8th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

CNN,

Please report real news. Also, make an effort to be unbiased.

Mike

prospector   January 8th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

I guess turning on the waterworks worked for Hillary. When all else fails, and the chips are down, cry. Hill just won NH on the sympathy vote….that is the type of person I want running the country and leading the free world….NOT.

Cathy Maassen   January 8th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

That is exactly the reason we need Obama, We need a uniter. We need Obama!

Robert Scofield Columbus, Ohio   January 8th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

Let's not forget how the Obama supporters booed Hillary at the New Hampshire Dem's state dinner! Just the same as when Obama was down, he attacked Hillary at the debates, Hillary get down, attacks back, and she labeled as a negative campaigner! GET OFF HER BACK! LET HER BREATHE!

Jam   January 8th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

She deserves this victory. No one else deserves it more than her.

me   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

no, when obama asked his supporters to congratulate hillary they cheered for her.

Wallace, Chicago IL   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

Classy. That attitude will definitely unite the country.

Steven Bengtson Sr.,

Are you kidding me? CNN has been pro-Clinton from the start. Obama wins one state and CNN reports on it — so now CNN is anti-Clinton? Toobin, Gergen, and the new lady that's up there are all Clinton supporters and it shows.

Just as a note, Rupert owns Fox, not CNN. I think you mean Ted Turner.

GMH   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

Will someone please tell Lou Dobbs that he needs to expand his vocabulary? He has used the words pundit and savant with overactive redundancy tonight.

A R, Cedar Rapids, IA   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

This race was too close for a "inevitable" Hillary to claim victory over Obama. That is pure spin. She should be crying still as they both have the same amount of delegates, Congrats on the supposed victory but in my eyes Obama and his supporters are the true winners of this one still.

Mary   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

It is not a new revelation that Hillary supporters HATE Obama with a strong passion.
It's not a secret her interns and campaigns workers have been stressed to the max. She's a real uniter- just what the country doesn't need.

Newsworthy   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

This made the news? Obviously CNN is biased and favoring Obama.

D Hackett   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

Wow! If that is what CNN's Best Political Team could dig up I'd hate to see what your 2nd string people are reporting.

anonymous   January 8th, 2008 11:46 pm ET

This country is in need of real change in leadership. We need to opt out of electing Washington insiders. We need hope. Barack Obama is that hope for our country. Yes, Hillary has experience. That is because she already spent her eight years in the White House. She is an insider. She is the institutional candidate, but not the right candidate. She has the network for success, but not the policy. Obama has the policy, the hope, and the change. He is the right candidate. It is nothing but petty for her supporters to boo him. They could have chosen to be better and congratulate a worthy opponent. It tells me that they are not on sure footing.

Chris   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN!
YES WE CAN!

That is what Barack Obama said tonight, and for me it wasa more profound, inspiring, and American statement than anything Hillary said.

Jan Livingston   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

This article is down and out misrepresentative of what really happened. I watched all the candidates speeches and there was no more or no less booing at any of the rallies for the respective opponents. If anything, there was more hesitation at Obama's rally among his followers when he graciously asked his followers to congratulate Senator Clinton.
Stories like this give rise to claims that the media is dishonest and distorts the news for its own ends.

Jeff   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

I agree with most of your comments. Not news. Not surprising, most supporters for most candidates would have reacted the same way. The only completely absurb one was that CNN is somehow anti-Clinton? Give me a break, I guess you are tring to rewrite history!

Actually I think Hillary's win tonight will actually benefit Obama more than it does her. If she had gone down again tonight then "the Clinton war machine" would have gone into full effect and the "vast right wing conspiracy" she is found of blaming for so much would have pailed in comparison to what she and her minions would have done to Obama. I think it will be an interesting next few weeks. So does John Edwards realize that he doesn't really have a chance yet or do you think he is just holding on for VP?

AJ   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

Bill is hypocrat. All that romantism he did in white house, did hurt people.

Brady   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

Again, why is this important? Doesn't the CNN news team have better things to do, like - say - examine candidates' track records for making change? Why don't you end your honeymoon with Obama and start honestly looking to find proof of his change-making skills.

John   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

You want to see a miracle? Obama or Hillary Win in Dixie!

Marsha, OR   January 8th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

Ronnie...Charlottesville, Va   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Didn't Obama supporters boo Hillary at the Democratic dinner the other night?
While she was speaking in person to a gathering of all Democrats?
Just asking?

Michelle Smith   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Well at the Iowa caucauses, Obama supporters were pushing, shoving, making snarky comments and stealing food from the Hillary campaign table. Let's not pretend like Obama supporters would behave any differently had the tables been turned. Call it human nature. Hillary deserves this and has worked long and hard for it.

erin   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

If Dems select Clinton to run in the primary we will lose, the independent vote will go away for Dems. Obama will win against any republican opponent, he's the strongest on the progressive stance and the only Dem with the charisma to pull in the votes for the Presidency. Clinton will lose against any republican candidate for president. Put Obama in the primary, Clinton is a wasted vote unless you want another Bush in office.

Rob   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Hillary says she heard her own voice…. it wasnt, it was the voice of the American people she heard. Congratulations…. she is now one of us. One voice.

fe   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

I didn't see or hear this in the coverage, which I watched obsessively. I doubt the veracity of this "report."

Jim   January 8th, 2008 11:48 pm ET

Boos for Obama? How tacky.

rd   January 8th, 2008 11:49 pm ET

Thanks Hill you bring hope to us all….People don't be so quick to jump on the Obama bandwagon!

I guess thats America…its the FAD thing to do…jump on the bandwagon…Please remember this an election NOT a MP3 player.

We need and experienced, real leader who is not brash and is more rational.

Nice try with the oratory skills, Obama! Thanks New Hampshire. Stupid Midwesterners!

GO HILLARY!

Philip   January 8th, 2008 11:49 pm ET

After all of the crap that Obama Hussein supporters cracked about Hillary for show emotions before the election today, they need to be booed!

CNN has constantly been negative towards Hillary's campaign, this is pathedic bias media

I have been a yellow dog Democrat for 65 years. If Barack does not win the nomination, I will vote for whatever Republican is on the ballot. Another 4 or 8 years of Billary is more than I can stomach.

I think Hillary's turn around can be attributed to a perfectly timed and canned sniffle which played perfectly to a female base. It also astounds me that in a country that limits itself to two parties we are looking to limit ourselves to two families, 28 years of Bushes and Clintons, 32 years if she wins. That is appalling to me. Don't get me wrong I think Bill was a great president but change this year needs to be about more that the D or R behind your name.

Clinton boasts a ready to go, day one experience. I'm sorry Miss but Bill Richardson has a better resume than you do. I don't think a resume equal’s leadership, what really matters is the ability to inspire, to challenge and to instill confidence that we, "WE" can be more. Great leadership is what inspires greatness. Obama eloquently summed up the American Spirit as "Yes WE Can", all I hear from Hillary is I, I, I. Obama is truthfully the first Presidential candidate I have ever been inspired by. America - now is the time for change, now is the time for true uniting leadership, now is the time to believe that America can look forward with anticipation not back with reminisce.

When Hillary was making her speech, did CNN show the Obama champ booing her? No they didn't, go figure that hte media was caught with their pants down and this is the reaction from our response on voting for her.

More proof of the politics of negativity, pervasive throughout the first Clinton and second Bush administrations, which would continue under Hillary. Obama represents a truly new approach–not rehashed hatreds emanating from the 60s, not another aging baby-boomer–a new approach to politics in this country.

Goodness CNN please post REAL News. If they supported Obama, then they would be at his speech.

It bothers me that so many people cannot see through Hillary's phoniness. I wonder what would have happened if she had "broke down" at a mens' function instead of a womens' function. Calculating and sexist!

REALITY CHECK FROM WHITE 57, REPUBLICAN VOTER

Hi,
I am jumping up and down in my hotel room in Dallas, on business from, Houston, thinking "I CAN NOT BELIVE THEY DO NOT GET IT! I was prepared to vote for McCain and I am now voting for HIL AND BILL. I never, ever, thought I would be voting this WAY AND HERE IS WHY: I watched Hillary's moment and she seemed sincere but more importantly, she said: " I know what to do on the first day!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW…SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT. Between the two of them, much of the learning curve is out of the way.</
