 Clinton campaigned in Ohio Tuesday.
Clinton campaigned in Ohio Tuesday.

(CNN)Hillary Clinton said Tuesday she got heated over the weekend when she sharply criticized rival Barack Obama for distributing literature that she claimed misrepresented her positions on NAFTA and healthcare.

"I got a little hot over the weekend down in Cincinnati," Clinton said at a town hall event in Lorain, Ohio. "Because I don't mind having a debate. I don't mind airing our differences, but I really mind it when Sen. Obama's campaign sends you literature in the mail that is false, misleading and has been discredited.

"That is not the way to run a campaign to pick the Democratic nominee for president," she added, to applause.

On Saturday — only two days after declaring she was "honored" to share a stage at the CNN/Univision debate with Obama — Clinton angrily denounced two mailers his campaign was distributing in Ohio, one that described her as a supporter of NAFTA, and one that said she would force everyone to buy health insurance, regardless of ability to pay.

"Shame on you, Barack Obama," she said. "Enough with the speeches and the big rallies and then using tactics right out of Karl Rove's playbook. This is wrong, and every Democrat should be outraged." (Watch video: Clinton calls out Obama)

Obama denied Clinton's assertions that the claims in the campaign literature was false.

READING? CNN? IS? FUN?   February 27th, 2008 1:39 am ET

The next president needs to keep his or her cool and think straight just about all the time. That is one reason why so few (i.e. as % of population) in history have run and gone far into the run for presidency. The president must be mentally, psychologically, and emotionally dominant over his or her own self to actually be 'cool and think straight just about all the time.'
(hillary = poor in "cool", obama=very good in "cool", mccain=very good in "cool." Vote for Obama

Debra in Maryland   February 27th, 2008 1:32 am ET

Weekend Hillary, ranting and raving Hillary, victim Hillary—
appears to be the REAL Hillary. SHe looks much more comfortable
and herself in that skin, than the frozen smile candidate she
has been playing on and off during her campaign.
Just say no to perpetuating the Clinton dynasty.
Barack Obama is the candidate with real experience, real
ideas —consistent, focused, calm, deliberate, and
he does bring change! As in: integrity, vision for the future,
and good judgement. Now is the time to believe—
Yes, we can!

Vig   February 27th, 2008 1:21 am ET

Clinton has been baited, tainted, slashed and trashed. Texas and Ohio it's up to you to put the brakes on Obama and the train back on the tracks so that we can have a fair nominating process free from undue media influences

Cee   February 27th, 2008 1:20 am ET

Obama was raised by a single mother, where's the silver spoon?

Sofie   February 27th, 2008 1:19 am ET

Shame on you Hillary, chill out. You are out of control. I don't want a President who cant even control herself and emotions if things don't go her way. You have no experience, for what? Being married to an ex-president does not mean you have the experience. Look at JFK, he did not have experienced but it turned out to be the best President we ever had. Obama is calm and very cool never lose his temper like you even when he was behind on the pool. Obama been positive whether the pool was on his favor or not. GO OBAMA!

John   February 27th, 2008 1:18 am ET

If she didn't like NAFTA then she should have discussed that with Bill 15 years ago.

As a Republican, I am BEGGING you people: Nominate Hillary.. PLEASE nominate Hillary.

Obamacan!   February 27th, 2008 1:12 am ET

She'll distance our allies if she does that as President. Hillary – drop out gracefully. You are a disgrace to the democratic party.

bond   February 27th, 2008 12:57 am ET

Either she had hot flashes or she's just doing her Bill Belichik sore loser dance. The better candidate has won. Maybe President Obama will ask her to be the Secretary of… uhhh well maybe just his secretary.

Carla   February 27th, 2008 12:57 am ET

Russert made it quite clear that Hillary did support NAFTA he provided the sources he used and it was credible so when Hilary ranted about the NAFTA flyer not being true she was lying. This just shows she will act like a child throwing a temper tantrum to cover up the truth. That is not the type of ethics I want my president to display.

Rasool   February 27th, 2008 12:52 am ET

Sorry Hilary but Im just not buying it. This whole campaign has been postured and planned around the inevitiability of your nomination and now that thats slipping away you getting desperate. At least the next time you get outraged about something (specificly something thats actually factual) do it in a more convincing manner. Take a note from Reagan and go to acting school.

Johnny   February 27th, 2008 12:51 am ET

I have an idea for the country…………..

NO MORE BUSHES OR CLINTONS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

How does that sound??????

Donny Ott   February 27th, 2008 12:45 am ET

Concur 100% with cnn#1.

The media coverage of this campaign has been appalling. It's to the point where there is not an even an attempt to feign anything approaching reasonably fair balance.

Clearly, they are writing "the story" with Obama as the nominee. And all of the Obama sheep go bleating merrily along right off the cliff.

Hope everyone will be happy with McCain as our next President.

Christine-Bahamas   February 27th, 2008 12:42 am ET

I think that Americans have a lot to be proud of, they are finally showing the world that they are truly THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..and I am also proud to say that Obama supports Jews, God must be smiling. Hillary the Jewish community can see right through you.

Michael   February 27th, 2008 12:41 am ET

Obama is fighting a dishonest and dirty campaign. Yeah, he represents change all right.

Ray Rheaume   February 27th, 2008 12:34 am ET

"I got a little hot."

No, Hillary, you flew off the handle. Glad you got it over with now and not in the oval office.

Are we learning yet?

PMI   February 27th, 2008 12:32 am ET

Hillary, Hillary please take your meds. Its called HRT; Hormone replacement therapy. It will greatly help you with the "hot" flashes, wild mood swings and help you to find your voice again. We can't have a president who blows up in public and later come back and say "I got a little hot." Too much is at stake. You said tonight on the debate that you are a fighter. HRT and prozac will help to relieve those urges to fight. Bill would also benefit from you taking your meds, he might possibly want to spend more time at home with you. Do it for your family, your party and your country and your own mental health.
Obama will run the country while you concentrate on getting better.

Mobilized Army Reservist   February 27th, 2008 12:18 am ET

Senator Clinton is grasping at a variety of communication techniques and displaying a full range of emotions in an attempt to derail Obama's momentum. What's next? I'm hoping to see Clinton screaming "I'm melting!" and then simply disappear.

Canadian Neighbour   February 27th, 2008 12:18 am ET

'Too hot to handle' and that is what the American people are afraid of Hillary. You need to calm yourself down !

MariaofLuna   February 27th, 2008 12:11 am ET

You all should e careful about what you wish for………….

Irene   February 27th, 2008 12:09 am ET

I am sick of hearing Barrack Obama repeatedly using Hillary's vote on the war on Iraq. So what if she voted for it. Most true Americans were in favor of it particularly with the information we were given.

The media has not been fair to her from the beginnng, picking her to pieces while Mr. Obama has been CNN's darling.

Shame on them…. Hillary gets my full support.

cnn #1 fan   February 26th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Don't you think it is sneaky that Obama has pulled this one off?? He had more than one chance to say it to her face throughout all of their debates.. Why out of the blue does his campaign put out ads in this fashion… Sneaky sneaky sneaky. I smell G.W Bush jr!!

Obama grew up with a silver-spoon. Hillary was poor…
Who best understands us?

CNN backs Obama, we know that…

Why is everyone complaining when Hillary is tough?? Don't we want a tough president??…
The world is watching PEOPLE!! They are sitting at home laughing at us you wanna know why?.. It's because we are soooooo desperate to change route in this country that we are willing to settle for whatever, President Barrack Obama.. what a disgrace.

YES HE CAN (08) for (OB)   February 26th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

Hillarious says she is experience with using the instruments of power..but she'z never been president or governor…she need to stop throwing nonsense comments toward Obama…For her information, Barack Obama is indeed experienced..he might not be experienced with the executive powers but i am sure he is ready to gently and keenly learn how to Use those intruments of power and YES HE CAN lead America.

Someone plizz stop hillary from injuring herself…!!!???!!!???

BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT..(08)-(OB)

Vladimir   February 26th, 2008 10:44 pm ET

American people, who these years we lost a great legacies because they were trying to tell the truth, however B. Obama is the new legacy for America please vote for him.

Kelly Belsker   February 26th, 2008 10:43 pm ET

These last two debates have really showed her flip flop… quick to get angry. Let's see which HIllary will emerge tomorrow…what mud paddy she will sling. Obama is always in control…she unravels to easily and shows it.

jack johnson   February 26th, 2008 10:40 pm ET

she is ready on day one but not ready for the first questions.maybe her VIP will be answering the first questions for her in the white house.god save america

IndependentTurnedObamite   February 26th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Not on the kool-aid! – Got a question for people like you.
When you say Obama is ALL talk, what do you want him to do right NOW exactly? They had 19 debates and you should be knowing about his stand on all issues by now. If you don't, then you are ignoring him. And I will ask you this question one LAST time. Can one of you, please tell me where that 35yrs of experience is coming from? She JUST COULDN'T make a wise decision on the war for god's sake. Try to get hold of the interview Barack gave in 2002 about the war. WHAT A VISION.
WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THAT OLD LADY THAT FASCINATES YOU IGNORANT people. Right. Got it. YOU ARE IGNORANT!

And for ALL those people out there and HILLARY too, to the best of my knowledge, not even ONE of my 69 comments so far are posted till now. So STOP whining that CNN is pro Obama. If anything, its the other way. MATURE and GROW UP!!!

NMC Texas Democrat   February 26th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

In response to Lola's ignorant comment… just proof that our country has obviously not progressed near enough. Regardless if you support Hillary, Obama, or McCain, to make a comment like that about Barack Obama's name as though that's all America will base their votes on, that's just sad and ignorant. What, do you want to go ahead and bring up his middle name too? Heritage and tradition do not equate to anything more than what they are. In the spirit of Hillary, "Shame on you!"

Louie   February 26th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Emotion, emotion? Push the freakin' red button…that's what I'm afraid of. All it would take is one comment from a foreign political leader and we're all nuked! I DON'T LIKE THAT!!!

Any body else scared!?!?

Paige   February 26th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

this is the worst debate yet. The hole subject matter is about who can dawg the other. I'm sick of it. Just tell us what they intend to do about this country's problems; stop trying to convince the audience why the other is bad. I'd love to host a debate where regular everyday citizens control the questions, no media folks, no attorneys. I'm angry that Clinton is focused on bad mouthing; and not the issues I care about. I'm disappointed that Obama is forced to play in the dirt with Hilary.

Kevin   February 26th, 2008 10:35 pm ET

Is she bipolar or something? Because I DO NOT want a president who gets all mad one moment and decides to do something crazy that would get us in hot water, and then go oh, im sorry, I didnt mean to do this. WOW SHE JUST ANNOYS ME TO DEATH!!!!!!! I dont mind a woman to be president but if there is one thing I know is that its not her. She doesnt have the qualities to be a president, all she talks about is her experience, I dont care about her experience if she doesnt understand the people of this country!!!!!!!!!! Experience MEANS NOTHING if u dont understand what the people want!!!!!!!!

Debbie   February 26th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Shame on you Hiliary!!! You're making it very difficult for the next woman.
You are proving every negative statement about a woman's instability,
emotional state, and fickelness to be true. SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Whitney God Bless Obama   February 26th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Denounce: to give formal notice of the termination or denial of
to condemn or censure openly or publicly: to denounce a politician as morally corrupt. to speak out against

Reject: to cast out or eject to get rid of
to refuse to accept (someone or something); to refuse to have, take, recognize

Is she serious? REALLY? HILLARY ARE YOU ALL SERIOUS?

I do not want this childish, hot headed, whiny, PMS suffering woman running our country. BOTTOM LINE. Her actions are the reason why she is where she is and getting the negative attention. SHE BRINGS IT ON HERSELF.
She is acting worse than my 8th graders with these word games.

GO OBAMA!

Tony, Enterprise, Alabama   February 26th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

I don't blame her for getting hot.

Senator Obama has consistently thrown rocks and hid his hands for the entire campaign, and the press, for whatever reason, has let him get away with it.

The press is not doing the American people any favors by giving Obama a free ride.

They need to get over their swoon and start reporting the news again!

Mark Gardner   February 26th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

How dare she whine about being under scrutiny by both her opponent and the press. This is mere child's play in comparison to what she would have to deal with as President of the United States.
If this little bit of discomfort and conflict is going to case her to complain of unfair treatment what should we expect of her in the White House? Will she turn on the tears every time she is asked about difficult decisions? Will she feign anxiety at having to answer to the global community on our foreign policy?
If she can't take her political licks with grace and good form than I doubt she'll serve us well in the Big Game as the leader of the free world.
Mrs. Clinton, it is time to grow up, stand up and stop playing the "Pity Me" card.

A.C.   February 26th, 2008 10:28 pm ET

I find it very disappointing that CNN would post a blog that allows user "Mad Texan" to refer to Barack Obama as a "monkey." That type of bigotry should not be tolerated on your website.

Liban   February 26th, 2008 10:28 pm ET

Cmon Obama, it's not that Clinton FORCES people to get her healthcare plan.

She simply would SUBTRACT WAGES from those who happen to disagree that they need her plan. You know, punishments, fines, penalties and the like.

There's a difference.

Shame on you Barack!

she's so ridiculous it's hilarious. i was laughing throughout the video.

Anonymous   February 26th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

Hillary's having a breakdown at the debate. She is losing it!

John   February 26th, 2008 9:16 pm ET

Clinton has a real problem with the NAFTA spat. In her book and on a TV while campaigning in New York she clearly was supportive of NAFTA. So if Hillary is now saying that she was against it all along then she was not telling the truth in her book and on TV but using it to get elected, Typical Clinton strategy. Won't work now though because Obama has called you out on NAFTA.Mandatory legislation on Health.
Legal definition Compulsory, Forced inviting penalties for non compliance and in a previous debate Hillary had to agree that she had said that she would go after wages (Garnish) wages. She did say however that there would be subsidies to help but that still leaves many middle clas families that cannot afford it and Keep there homes and feed the family with rapidly rising food prices. Where does this leave Hillary? UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE Who wnats a bug eyed angry president with a finger on the nuclear button???

OBAMA IL state   February 26th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

Clinton just needs to throw in the towel .. I am tierd of her acting like she is all mighty. Right now she is acting like a sorry losser.. She makes remarks about him ect.. Obama is the the man for Pres. Yes, I am a women yet sure do NOT want a women in there..

Jamie from Texa!   February 26th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

Someone sent this to me which makes a lot of sense. Food for thought!!!
When I fly in an airplane I want the pilot with the most experience, not the one who can inspire hope in me that I get to where I am going. When I pay my taxes, I want the person filing them to be experienced, not the new person who inspires hope in me that he can do the job. When I hire someone to fix my washing machine, I want the tried and true experienced person, not the one who inspires me to hope that he can fix it. When I go to the doctor I do not want to get the one who inspires hope in me that s/he can cure what's wrong, but the one who knows what the hell to do the minute I call. It's not really the job of a public servant to inspire, but to get the job that the people demand done. The democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired things will get better, but they actually won't. When Oprah makes her employees sign her fifty page non-disclosure statement, she doesn't "hope" they can't break it, she pays teams of experienced lawyers to MAKE SURE they can't break it, or be sued in an experienced court by an experienced judg

How about this CNN… Is the brochure true or false?
How refreshing it would be for you to actually practice the trade of journalism.

Hillary deserves the nomination – Obama deserves an Oscar

Alice Humphrey   February 26th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

GO HILLARY, YOU GO GIRL. Alice

Cindy   February 26th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

To Hillary and her scorched earth supporters,

So you're going to vote Republican if Obama gets the nomination? Free country, it's your perogative to jump ship. You hate Bush so much, yet you're going to vote for his serogate?

You're using your emotions, not your head.

I hope you come to your senses, before it's too late, and we're now stuck with another administration looking for another place to start another war.

Robb, New York   February 26th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

Hillary says, "I got a little hot over the weekend." You think, Hillary?!? You went from zero to furious in about two seconds. You went from "I'm honored to be on the same stage with Barack Obama" to "Shame on you, Barack Obama" in lightning speed. And the way in which you've conducted yourself since then, especially with your sarcastic comments about Obama and his supporters in Rhode Island, completely showed the American people your real side. You really bared your soul this weekend, Hillary. You showed that you will say anything to win or to at the very least smear your opponent so that his chances of winning in the end diminish. You crossed the point of no return, and all the crocodile tears in the world won't bring you back.

You have been exposed, Mrs. Clinton, and the American people won't tolerate it. You will lose Ohio and Texas on March 4. You will lose the nomination for the presidency. And even if by some miracle you manage to win (or steal) this thing in the end, you will never, NEVER get elected to the White House this year. Ralph Nader stands a better chance at the presidency than you, because John McCain and the Republicans would love to take you on since they know that you will be through.

Please, Mrs. Clinton, for the good of the party that you say you love, for the good of Barack Obama, for the good of this country, please step aside as soon as possible.

SAYRAH   February 26th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

Hillary getting a little hot under the collar is only ONE of many reasons why she should not be elected as our President. She is only hurting herself by acting like a fool. People don't want to listen to that kind of BS. She needs an attitude adjustment. I imagine she will be turning on her pitiful face for tonights debate. I will be voting for Barack. At one time I thought if he is not the nominee I would vote for Hillary. But I would not vote for her under any circumstanc now because of the way she goes off on such rants and raves. We can't have such as person leading our country.

ObamaSupporters   February 26th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

Barack,
knock her out tonight in the debate.

We're all behind you. Even those who thinks they like Clinton. They're secretly behind you.

Go Obama

Lola   February 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

Barrack Obama…. Sounds a bit like IRAQ OSAMA.

I am pretty sure the US can't handle a president with that kind of name.

distortitmore   February 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

I am sick of CNN distorting the truth. You may all laugh at this if your candidate is the one the media favors but in the long run you should be alarmed at what this could mean to everyone. What else do they distort?

Sara   February 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

Obama, please maintain the high road, don't allow Clinton to drag you down with her gutter politics.

Dan (TX)   February 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

Guess we can't blame it on PMS – right?

In the past 4 days, I've seen 4 different "new" focuses to the Hillary campaign here in Texas. Can you imagine if she's elected president? There'd be different Hillary presidential policy every day. Sheesh.

I've got more international, foreign policy experience than either Hillary or Obama – neither one can claim anything worth mentioning in this topic.

Hillary – a female Clinton……
McCain – honorable patriot, but getting senile….
Obama – the Democratic Reagan?

Toby Dawn   February 26th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

God Bless America, may the upcoming events in the world treat you kind as others on Mother Earth…

Bubba, Houston, Tx   February 26th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

Obama is so full of his own hot air and nothing else, he needs to be called on his gaffes every time.

Now I noticed that as the media is comfortable that their man is going to win they are now starting to slightly turn attention to him. Even a softball critique on "is the media too favorable to Obama?" – yet as soon as they started it, old Gloria B and John were talking down HIllary and how she is responsible for her own press, what a laugh.
Great way to swing a nomination guys, but wait! You will have your surprise, I have already reduced my CNN watch time to a fraction of what it was, and so have many of my friends.

We were all sickened by your actions of negative hillary stories and comments. So we turned to your competitors, and watch their channels and their advertisers…. yep we can vote with our wallets and feet too.

If you think the party faithful will rally around Obama after the media coronation and softball treatment he has received often as Hillary was contrasted in a negative light, you are sadly mistaken. Don't bother appealing to party loyalty – you lost that when the DNC decided to strip the delegates from two of our states and support the slimeballs in the media with the DNC silence – those who sold out their jounalistic integrity and showed themselves for what they really are – big business interests who will try to swing public opinion and elections apparently in accordance with their owners wishes…

This is clearly the most deliberately biased nomination process I have seen, bar none! CNN, the best political team money can buy.

If Hillary does not make it – vote McCain

Nathan   February 26th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

Funny, as an Obama supporter, I think that the media is being too nice to HillBilly, especially after 11 straight loses. Also, I wonder if Hillary gets this mad every time Bill continues to be unfaithful to her…? That's right women, vote for the women candidate that is only here because of her unfaithful husband–there's now other way she would ever of had made it this far! A vote for Stand by Your (unfaithful) Man would be progressive!

Television spectator and Free thinker   February 26th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

Free Trade demonstrators, natural disasters in Tennessee and the death of a Motorcycle Escort officer are all spiritual manifestations circulating around the Clinton campaign. This is the ultimate revelation that things aren't well with the Clintons. It's never too late to call it a day. Hint: CONCEDE, Mrs. Clinton.

AH   February 26th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

I was watching CNN around 6:45PM mountain time. The hoster, John interviewed 3 people. One male superdelegate who supports Obama, one female superdelegate who supports Hillary, and one young superdelegate who has not decided. Everytime, when the female said only a couple of setenses, John interrupted her and not allowed her to finish her setenses, meanwhile he allowed the other two to speak for minutes. Why bother to ask Hillary's support to speak out if you even do not allow her to finish her sentenses? CNN is so biased and the hoster, John , should apologize to the female superdelegate. If CNN wants to keep its reputation, please be fair! We are not stupid. Let the viewers to make a voting decision, not your reporters.

let's be real   February 26th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

I'd love to see Obama in the White House… just so I can see how silly you will feel once it shows that he will bring NO REAL CHANGE to our country. People living in a state of despair thanks to George Bush will find ANYTHING reasonable, even a lot of talk with no substance. It's obvious now that Obama doesn't need to try in a debate; he knows that even though he's got nothing on Hillary he already has a CULT FOLLOWING.

Most of you people bashing Hillary for getting worked up over "nothing" are clearly at a loss of brain cells. You have to understand that Hillary is a WOMAN. Women tend to express their emotions more often than men do. That's just how it is… and yet you people act as if she's "gone off the edge." I will use a religious saying to illustrate the foolish thought you people have adopted… "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Don't even start telling me that none of you have gotten worked up over something that has been said about you. Hypocrites. CNN will not post this comment because the site highly favors OBAMA.

Joe in Missouri   February 26th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

Amen Sukie … this Democrat will never vote for Obama and I have voted for 20 years always Democrat. My extended family is also life long Democrats and they too will be crossing to the Republican Side if he should receive the Nomination.

I also plan to vote for anyone but McCaskill in Missouri as well because I feel she made the wrong choice in her Support. I wouldn't look for McCaskill to return to the Senate once her seat is up … she is not well liked in Missouri anyway.

If he does somehow get elected as President I hope all these people who backed him are prepared to get voted out of office when he cannot deliver on his promises to the American People …. and trust me THEY WILL REMEMBER and they WILL call him on it.

Grant Doyle   February 26th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

Only a little more than a week left of Clinton's campaign. Thank God. She has run a slightly better campaign than Giuliani.

d   February 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

I would be amazed if CNN let this comment on does the "C" in cnn stand for CHINA..?
The male run media good old boys club is really giving Hillary Clinton the old one two punch. First they give Obama the pat on the back and have a cigar tenement.. All the while broadcasting day and night what an emotional women Hillary Clinton is non stop.
Not touching Obama identity as if one speech is good enough spiting out the same message over and over again. Hillary is an unknown hysterical women when she tries to defend herself .. This is the election the male run media has shoved down our throat of 08!

norisha   February 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

ok….the whole i'm a human in Texas and New Hampshire, just is not cutting it. She is scripted, I really can't stomach her. She needs to make up her crazy mind and decide who she wans to be as the NY Senator.

Karen Ciesnicki   February 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Has anyone been concerned about Hillary's swings between soft
and 12 hrs later, a raging mad woman. Her remarks (Shame on us!)
& suspected tactics, vascillating between attacks and apologies….
This may be how she is under stress. Why are we thinking of electing
someone who looses composure, has mood swings, distortions, poor
impulse control and viciousness. The soft Hillary is there only because
she thinks she can buy a vote or two with a tear or a sigh.
She should go to therapy, not the White House.

Teresa   February 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Maybe Obama needs some"whine to go with that cheese." If he can't stand the heat as a political candidate, how will he EVER stand up under the intense pressure as a world leader? (LOL). His rhetoric is full of more holes than swiss cheese. If the news comentators were fair and unbiased, Hillary would at least have a fighting change of an fair fight. It's hard when you're going up against a rock star with limited political skills. GO FOR IT HILLARY!!! We'll vote for you in November too.

Esther   February 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

No offense to Hillary, but we as human beings need to be careful of the words we say for they can either bring peace to a nation or hurt a nation and I feel that is what Hillary is doing hurting our country. Hillary don't you think it is a little too late to apologize everytime you had a debate. Only to find out that making up on the day of your own foolish debates doesn't get you any closer. Name gaming – which I found Hillary to be trifling, makes her lose. The reason why Barack is winning is because of the Coolness, Calmness, and the Collected, Oh and has been forward with his truth's since day one. If you are going to be President what is there to hide – Hillary why not tell the truth after all the saying goes…"If you tell the truth it shall set you free." I realized that people are tired of seeing the Bush's, Clinton's, McCain's, Huckabee's running the same tired old political games. I feel "SOME" americans want a new way of thinking, new policies, Americans to come together , stop the fighting, stop the wars, stop the killings, lower the taxes, mortgages and so forth. They want to be the ones who make "A CHANGE". I feel Hillary is too emotional, she thinks she is strong but how can someone be strong if they continue to show their weakness. The only reason why people elected her husband Bill at the time was because nobody wanted to elect the other person running against him way back then. I think Hillary got her messages mixed up, she thought just because Bill won, she could do the same…Hillary it's time to face reality… Americans want to see "A CHANGE."

Christopher   February 26th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

I have no idea where the polls or the people on this comment board are coming from? I have been a loyal democrat since I first voted for president in 1988. I will never, no way-no how, vote for Barak if he makes it to the general election. I will not entrust the future of our country to someone who's only experience is 8 years in the Illinois state legislature.

Wilhemina   February 26th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

All she talks about is Obama, were is the beef Hillary? You Clinton supporters tell her to deliver what she stands for and her plans on how she is going to: end the war, save our homes, educate our kids, heal our country, immigration reform, etc. she should talk about our issue's not waste our money talking about her issues.

Tom, Cville, VA   February 26th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Hey CNN! Did you know there's a debate on tonight? I guess since it's being televised on that "other" network you think it's not news? That's pathetic!

tshei   February 26th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

I think Hillary should relax more and stop worrying about the campaign so much. She is nervous about losing.

SAM   February 26th, 2008 8:52 pm ET

I am a republican and I casted my vote to Obama in New Hampshire. But in the final election ,I will go with John Mccain.As a republican party supporter ,I am so happy now the democrats are fighting so badly and we will easily win the November election…..Our tactical support to Obama avoided a worser enemy Clinton for GOP.

Sukie   February 26th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

CNN

Please run a poll asking if you are a Clinton supporter and Obama wins the Democratic nomination, will you vote for him in November or for someone else?

lzspc   February 26th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

Thank goodness there is a candidate that can express her true feelings about her actions….and her actions were well understandable. Obama refuses to take responsibilities or eexpress any of his feelings or explanations!!
CHANGE is all he knows how to say……….

HIllary is the best their is……………….. face it!!! She has put up with more difficulty than anyone in history that has ran for president!!

Americans can be so hard headed sometimes………….open your eyes and realize!!!
Hillary is the best and the polls are showing that too!!!

eddie   February 26th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

She has every right to be mad at his false mailing and yes there were all false.

NMC Texas Democrat   February 26th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

I agree with previous comments: how are you going to handle leading an entire country when you get a little hot under the collar about a TRUTHFUL mailer?!

And for those "Billary" fans (I love that term!) that are screaming about experience that she and McCain have up to their eyebrows… you must enjoy the current economic state, huh? Enjoy being at war for pretty much no reason at this point, wasting TRILLIONS (that's right, we've moved up from billions) of dollars? Enjoy these overly conservative points of view? If so, then you're right: we need their "experience", because all of those situations are EXACTLY where experience like theirs has gotten us thus far. Afterall, didn't our great Commander in Chief have this covetted "experience"?

How do you keep putting the same political "geniuses" into Washington expecting a different result?! For true change, you need someone who hasn't been completely tainted/brainwashed by the messy politics that we now know and collectively hate. Once good glance at where he stands on policy or a good skimming through his latest book will tell you he has all the experience, knowledge, and innovative thought one needs to make a true difference in Washington.

People say shame on us for voting Obama; I say shame on you for not doing your much-needed homework. Someone told me a story this weekend: "I asked a friend why they were voting for Hillary, and she said for her mother's generation, because they fought so women could actually vote, let alone run for president. I decided I was voting for Obama for my DAUGHTER'S generation, so that they will know what it's like to grow up in a world that I never knew when I was young: a world without a US-funded war, without a starved economy… a world with a true bright future."

If you haven't yet voted, early voting isn't over in Texas until Friday so get out there and make your voices heard! When you're standing in your little ballot box, make the right decision for yourself, for your country and for our future: VOTE OBAMA in 08!!!

*****
I've already Barack'd the vote… have you voted yet??

Mechille, Iowa   February 26th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

What is Clinton so upset about these flyers on NAFTA for? Because Ohio is mostly a blue collar state? What happened to Wisconsin? The reports out of that state were that they were concerned about their jobs but when Obama won that state she didn't even thank those that did vote for her. Talk about disrespect! I say shame on you Hillary Clinton!

Go Obama   February 26th, 2008 8:40 pm ET

I'm Democrat (now), and I'm not outraged.

AnneinPA   February 26th, 2008 8:40 pm ET

Get mad! Why not, you got nothing to lose. I would have flipped out
a long time ago myself with the brutal beatings from the media and pundits, but I'm no Hillary. I'm impressed with the strength this woman has. I really am. She really needs to show
herself, and if that's when she's angry, so what? Oh, yeah, women
aren't allowed to be themselves and show that dreaded word "emotion".
If not Hillary, then McCain, (now that's a " little heated" type guy).

james   February 26th, 2008 8:40 pm ET

GO McCAIN! OBAMA will never stand a chance!

Geri   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Once again the Obama News Network praises their fair haired boy" and bashes Clinton. If she loses we can thank Blitzer and Cafferty. They must have jobs waiting for them if Obama makes it in. I'll vote Republican if he does. He was chummy with Retzco when he knew he was under investigation. His skeletons will come out and so will those of nasty Michelle. One ther thing…why are a lot of the blogs being closed before people that work can read and respond????

Janel, St. Paul, MN   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

I submitted a comment like this an hour ago. . .and it wasn't posted.

This is my message. Hillary Clinton has shown many faces in the past couple of days. Sometimes she appears graceful and loving. . .then she appears shrill and unforgiving.

My question is, if she is the leader of the free world, do we want such a person representing us?

Folks, she simply doesn't appear real. She shows whatever voice she wants to in her desperate attempts to woo our voters.

I am very concerned that this lady could become the Democratic candidate. . .and that she will lead many who are tired of her shrill voice decide to vote for McCain. A very sad and troubling result.

Jon, Sebastopol, CA   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Ok, you people who are repeating the mantra about Obama being all talk and no action: I'm psychic, I can read your mind. Think of a number, the number of times you've visited Obama's web site. Fix it in your mind.

Ready?

Here goes . . .

Was it "zero"?

Amazing how I do that, isn't it?

Lee   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

It just shows that Clinton doesn't reserve the cool and composure of a world leader. I think it would be nice to have a president who didn't represent us as undiciplined hot headed idiots.

Fran   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Some of you don't want a hot-headed president, you'd rather have an arrogant president, keep supporting Obama. I guess 8 years with an arrogant president wasn't enough. Has anyone noticed that no matter what Senator Clinton does, it's wrong. If she shows a softer side, she gets criticized and is called a cry baby. If she is tough, she is called shrill. On the other hand, Obama can say or do anything he wants and somehow it becomes Senator Clinton's problem. I thought he was the front-runner, why is everyone still attacking Senator Clinton? Maybe you should stop listening to the slanted, biased news reports, and start listening to what Senator Clinton is trying to tell all of you before it's too late.

Ilse   February 26th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Does anyone think Obama can win the presidency without Hillary supporters? Fat chance. Millions of people voted for Hillary (yes, even the people in Florida and Michigan). Most of them are not going to vote for Obama in the general election even at the risk of putting the republicans back in the White House. I wonder why CNN or MSNBC never talks about that possibility.

So, it's time for the media to scutinize Obama and trash him the way they have trashed Hillary. Give Hillary supporters a reson to vote for Obama. We need something more than fluff and flair.

Former Clinton supporters   February 26th, 2008 8:38 pm ET

She gets hot. She gets cold. She looses. She falls apart. It's Bill's fault. It's the medias fault. She voted to send the troops to Iraq. She will bring them home, like no other. This is not just silly season politics. This is the BRITNEY SPEARS season of politics. I know I am pushing the years, but is this woman a different person with a different position every time she opens her mouth or is is it me.

Cindy   February 26th, 2008 8:38 pm ET

To CNN, when are you going post pro Hillary comments. I am absolutely sick to read them. I can't beleive you actually post some of the most unintelligent comments. To all you Obama supporters, you just caught up in the obama wave. Are you seriously going to hand ove the Big Clean Up of this country's mess left over from George bush into the hands of a junior senator who voted "present" to over 100 bills in the Senate. We need someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, who knows how to achieve results. There is so much at stake here, you have to be smart in your decision and do what's best for the country. I do not believe Obama can deliver. Words do not deliver, actions do.
All the best Hillary, you have always been a champion for the poor and blacks. It is a shame that they have turned their backs on you. They have put all their eggs in one basket, and it can't hold water. CNN, make sure you post this. Thanks

Jack   February 26th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

Hillary has lost

janice   February 26th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

You go Girl. Obama is no JFK and his wife certainly is no Jackie O. The audacity of these "neophytes" even eluding to that comparison.

leila   February 26th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

Good for you SEn.Clinton, i'm very proud of you because you represent the women of today,not only in america but to the world.It's time for women to be equal with men,if men can do why can a woman can do.I see in you the confidence,intelligent and strong-willed kind of a woman.Shame on all those women in america who will not vote for you.I'm in another country but i'm so proud that there is a woman who can represent us in this generation.GO!SEn. Clinton,I will bet that you will be the nominee and the next President of U.S.A

Lisa Gross   February 26th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

Hillary I am so tired of you dual personalities. It's like watching Cybil and her multiple personalities. Maybe she is bi-polar or something. I don't know what to make of her anymore. One moment she is soft-spoken and the next she is ranting on scolding someone. I don't think I could stand 4 to 8 years of that kind of behavior. Hillary doesn't have the temperment to be president of the United States! Lets all get behind Obama and defeat McCain in Nov 08!

Pam   February 26th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

She has shown so many different sides of herself lately; makes you wonder which Hillary would show up on 'day one' to lead the nation should she be elected. Will it be the sobbing Hillary, the kind/sweet Hillary, the angry Hillary, the drama queen????

I have said time and time again, if she gets the nomination, I'll be voting for the Republican nominee. If Obama gets the nomination, I will be voting for him.

val egbarin   February 26th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

my dear hillary pls we are tired of you old folks ruling us we want a generational change . Obama is truly a change we can believe in .

John   February 26th, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Unbelievable…how stupid does this woman think we are. The flyers were 100% accurate. I have heard her validate their claims in the beginning of the campaign, with my own ears.
I am very glad she is doing this to herself. The people need to see just what she is. A desperado, that will truly do or say anything, change her story a the drop of a hat, for a vote.
Just unbelievable…I'm in total disbelief really…how can anyone support her?

Buddy   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Wake up America vote for Clinton. We have a 4 trillion dollar budget deficit. During the former Clinton Adminstration we had budget surplus, no war, and jobs. That sounds like a Change to me. Solutions!!

rick Austin Texas   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Nancy February 26th, 2008 6:01 pm ET
It's true sexism in the media that a woman can't be angry without getting notice.
Women, vote for Hillary, you should be ashamed of yourselves if you're not. It's our turn.

YOUR TURN ?????? Oh well lets just start a line of minority groups who haven't gotten to be President.
As far as I can tell that would be everyone except white males.
That could take a while to ensure everyone gets a turn,
Maybe we could just save time and find a transvestytte, communist , Iraq woman lesbian that is jewish and let them have his/her turn.

There are no turns , there are VOTES for the best person,

So far we haven't been too impressed with the women you have put in front of us. Why have there been only 2 is my question, bunch of followers not leaders yall gals are that you think Hillary is the best one among you.

Makes me sick.

Tricia   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Has everybody forgotten so quickly that right up through October 2007 Hillary Clinton had been declared the inevitable winner of the Democratic Party presidential nomination by nearly all of the media? I did read comments from supporters of Dodd, Edwards and Richardson about media bias for Hillary Clinton. gbolee: Mark Penn is her chief strategist. Penn is earning $5 million for his services. He is CEO of Burson-Marsteller a firm that advises coorporations on keeping unions out. Maybe that is why three unions decided to endorse Barack Obama after all since the union issue has previously come up regarding Hillary Clinton's tenure with WalMart? Two of those unions are not inconsiderable here in Texas with quite a number of Hispanic members who work in stores, meat and packing plants. But, no I do not know active they are being in the Hispanic community. I voted early yesterday evening when I thought it would be a quiet time. So much for thinking! Early voters are breaking all records here in Texas. We also have local and State officials to ponder on the ballot as well.

Tony, nm   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

to Kate….

the debate tonight is televised on MSNBC at 9pm eastern

anonymous   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

i think that the true colors of miss clinton are showing. Her diffrent moods and the way that she loses her composure every once in a while is showing that she is still not ready to be president. AMERICA WHY ARE WE MAKING SUCH A BIG FUSS OVER OBAMA'S PICTURE… IF WE ARE AS FREE AS WE CLAIMS HE HAS THE SAME RIGHT AS DOES ANY AMERICAN TO HAVE FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

David B   February 26th, 2008 8:25 pm ET

Oh, Hill, Dear…

Give it a break. You are desperate and grasping at straws. The fact is, this mailer was out PRIOR to your 'loving' words about being 'honored' to be on the same stage as Obama. Since nicey-nice didn't work, you've decided to get down and dirty…a BIG mistake.

Just gracefully back out now while you still have a shred of dignity left.

pam   February 26th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

GOD, please bless America!

christin   February 26th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

she is too bi-polar for me.
And from what I saw of the flyers they were correct. She is just worried about semantics! The sound a little harsher depending on how you say them.

either way mean green is not a good color on you.

Wendy   February 26th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Hillary has lost.

For the good of the party, end this now. Go out gracefully!

If you hang on and keep attacking the DNC nominee, you will only help the GOP, and YOU will be to blame if McCain wins.

Bill Jay   February 26th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Oprah would make a good Vice President…….

man   February 26th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Everybody please wake up. If Obama said something wrong about Hillary, it is right and if Hillary talk somthing right about Obama it is wrong. Come on people. And CNN, the comment you post that just bad about Hillary. I know because me and another 10 friends do that and finally you post 2 good for Hillary, 8 bad about her while you post 1 bad for Obama and 8 good about him. Don't think everybody is fool. Hillary for America. (just let you know because I know no way you post my comment)

California 4 Hillary   February 26th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Moderators: you are participating in CNN's manipulation of this election. How third-world. You are representative of the future of the United States. Are you proud? Yes, you are shaking your head up and down like a bobble head right now, right? So much power in someone so small.

Kate   February 26th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Does anyone know if the Clinton & Obama debate is going to be televised? If so, what network?

Sophia   February 26th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Weren't those two issues disscussed in the last debate??? Why didn't she get hot than?

Maria   February 26th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Og Course they took put my comment it is against OBAMA!!! I will not give you the rating and watch another channel!!! You are one sided just like others have written!!!!!

The Truth, according to the good folks in Cleveland   February 26th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Sukie   February 26th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

I heard this morning that Michelle Obama is being compared favorably to Jackie O. (Kennedy).

I almost gagged. Actually, I did gag.

There is NOT one iota of comparison between these two women.

Jackie Kennedy knew when to keep quiet; Michelle Obama is a loose-mouthed cannon.

Echo   February 26th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

How does a person with multiple personally disorder plan on running our country?!?

ryan   February 26th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

I can't wait for Hillary to become president because then I will have healthcare…..only because I will be forced to pay for it or be fined by the government. You cannot tell me that she is not in the pockets of these healthcare companies. Forcing people to buy policies is not the way to go.

JS   February 26th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Hill wrote in her memoir that she felt NAFTA was the single greatest accomplishment of Bill and she supported it….how has this now been discredited? Did she hire a ghost writer who got it wrong???

Maybe her imaginary friend, or another one of her little voices says it is discredited…..seeing the many faces of hill is almost laughable…..except for the fact she is still in the race for the most important job in the world is very scary…..man, would she get swiftboated in a second….

Pat   February 26th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

It's too bad that Hillary's speechwriters did not go on strike…..she might have fared better throughout the whole campaign!

Senator Clinton has left us wondering who she is…the Former First Lady and the Senator from New York hardly seem to be the same person.

We all know she has stamina and that she can fight with the Big Boys; but who is she in her own right?

She accuses Obama of using other people's words and what she said at the conclusion of the Texas debate was a combination of Bill Clinton's words and John Edwards' words. Who is this woman? Is she in touch with reality?

allie   February 26th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

What is with her? I want some temperamental consistency in my leader. Not the three faces of Eve, for god's sake.

James Wachai   February 26th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Again, she makes this comment for her own convenience. She knows somebody will question, in tonight's debate, the wisdom behind her throwing tantrums. Who will advise Hillary that she looks like a Kindergarten in front of Obama, who's been cool-headed throughout this campaign? Hillary is full of herself. She thinks she's the only person who can lead.

Moises Gonzalez   February 26th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

When Clinton Senator said " honor " to be with Obama in last Debate in Texas, just show us that she is a good Politician , it may be she is desperate and losing patience in this constest .i do repect both of them.

Kabir Singh   February 26th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

HILLARY.

I AM PRETTY SURE THE ONE ON NAFTA IS TRUE EVEN THOGH THAT ISNT UR QUOTATION. THE HEALTH CARE ONE IS definetly TRUE….THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO JUST CAN not AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE

James M   February 26th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Hillary is a wreck. Her claims about falsifying her stance on NAFTA are wrong, since she has always been a proponent for it until election time. She did vote for the war in Iraq, and qualiies it now with an exit strategy, just in time for elections. And now she is giving advice to Obama on how to run a campaign, when she obviously can't manage her campaign staff, finances or emotions. Obama has been a leader throughout, unwavering and totally respectable. I think he is someone the entire world will embrace and respect as the President of the US.

Rick   February 26th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

I'Il be suprised if CNN puts this on because they seem to be fbias and for clinton.
Hillary you have a lot of room to talk after the things that you have let your campaign run bad pics and negaitve talk, what makes you so great, you want to dictate to the american people and its never about we the people, its always ME HILLARY

Firewmn   February 26th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

HILLARY… if you weren't so full of yourself… I'd SAY.. You were full of yourself..!!!

I say.. flip..FLOP..

Obama in 2008 is not more of the same and that is what this country needs…

Sooo…. Obama..08

suzy   February 26th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

It becomes clearer and clearer each day that the supporters for Obama are – well, I don't even have a good word for it.

fredie   February 26th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

It's little crazy the way sen Hillary addressed the issue. She should be focus on issues and not attacks, cause they don't work. She should have learn some lessons from the last votes that attacks don't work, rather explain and come out strong on issues where she's strong at. It's bad to show your weekness especially when you are a leader. Cause people see them quick even though they may not tell you.

DeVone   February 26th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

she got heated because the truth came out, she need to stop lyeing
and stop fighting with her oun party and just prove her isues
every thing is a lye with her. God bless her

chris   February 26th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

The Smug Obama supporters:
Do you really think that after you make so many of these hateful statements towards his opponent that I will vote for you candidate in November?

Every petty comment you make will be counted against your candidate in November, I promise you. Arrogance while ahead is indicative of a shallow campaign.

Your candidate hasn't won over our family and many of our friends, but your behavior has damaged your candidate with many undecided voters.

Pat Omaha, NE   February 26th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Please….as soon as she shows she is capable of defending herself she is now a hot-head? bi-polar? in need of Doc Phil? Don't people have the right to defend themselves against false attacks? Can Obama do whatever he wants now that he has some people in his spell?
I really hope there will soon be an awakening to reality! She is so right when she speaks about his rallies…….we need a solid, strong president who can lead and have international respect! I doubt that the rest of the world will fall on their knees quite as quickly as Obama's cult followers are doing.

Hillary was against NAFTA, Bill was for it. Spouses do disagree. Obama was referring to the wrong Clinton.

Larry   February 26th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Obama, with his cult like following, can lie and use his dirty little tricks, but will NEVER BE PRESIDENT!!!!

Anna Delfino   February 26th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I am almost amused at the Clinton family's use of the phrase ( shame on you ) to anyone that dares to question them or dissagree with them. I really did not think those words were in their vocabulary-rather that one word ,SHAME.

Shawn   February 26th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Hillary's latest tactic. The ranting and raving angry Hillary didn't work, so she's back to the nice congenial "feel sorry for me" Hillary. The more of the many faces of Eve that I see, the more disturbed I am. I've always been an ardent supporter of Mrs. Clinton, but the tactics she has employed in this campaign AGAINST A FELLOW DEMOCRAT have been deplorable.

GO HILLARY….Nothing wrong with showing any side of your personality. It's about having brains and knowing our place on the world stage and whats best for us all. To some, you can't win.

I can hardly wait to get the brainless monkey out of the White House and sense he and his administration aren't going to be impeached we'll have to settle watching him walk hand in hand with the Saudis and dance on stage in Africa. What a joke as we've become the laughing stock of the planet!

Dan in MA   February 26th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Obama should apologise for not being what he says he is. Hillary is sensible, compasionate, bold and brilliant. She's a true problem solver.

When is CNN going to stop omitting pro-Hillary comments?

Dianne   February 26th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I agree with many posted comments – CNN, you should be ashamed of yourself!!!! You are soooooo anti-Hillary that you DELIBERATELY alter your stories to influence your viewers and readers!!! You are partially to blame for Obama's ridiculous success, 'soft ball questions', to quote above, and the bad light shed on Clinton. Sadly, when I think of (relatively) impartial English language news, I think of….the BBC.

10 bucks says you won't post this either.

California 4 Hillary   February 26th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I have been reading these comments for weeks and weeks – over and over again someone posts that their pro-Hillary comments are not being posted. I know I have written a dozen at least. I cannot remember seeing anyone who is pro-Obama making the same complaint.

Debra of Texas   February 26th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

Hillary is emotionally unstable. This is very unusual behavior for someone who's trying to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

Attention all Texans – Vote Barack Obama!!!

Jasmine - AZ   February 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I think Hillary would make a great president! She has a program and knows how to follow it. Hopefully, people will see her for the leadership qualities that she has and will give her support needed to win.

chris   February 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

"You are not his mother, shame on you!"

Amen!

Her changing attitude on a daily basis is scary! Do we really want a president driving this country be based on her "mood" for the day?

Haley   February 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I am very curious to know if Hillary Clinton is going to help us Americans with health care, for example, Medicaid. I am a senior at a high school in Port Arthur, Texas.
Since the age of 15 I’ve been supporting myself and now I have a 5 month old child and I am not working. I’m trying everything I can to support my family, but it is not that easy when you are denied health care, food stamps and other health benefits. I have no money, no cars and no credit cards and they are still denying me. Please e-mail me back with some kind of information. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Haley

Ibeth   February 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

The shame is on you Hillaray , this country needs a stable person
not one with an personality disorder.
So much for good Judgment and experience.
From day one you voted for the war, but you are anti Bush.
She was OK with NAFTA from day one, now she is not.
She has 35 years experience in Office, where.
Bill Clinton was not having sex with that Woman a right wing conspiracy did.
I say no to Hillary and Bill, I had enough with the nonstop controversy surrounding them.
In most cases where one family runs a country for a long period of time it proofs to be disaster.

Jenny   February 26th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

What? His fliers were accurate! She sent out fliers that were completely false and misleading!

Hillary Clinton, cut it out.

M Johnson   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Bill Clinton did not bring this country together. He divided it right down the middle. It has been that way ever since.

Tina   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Senator Obama needs to concede after Texas and Ohio because there is noooo way he is going to win. He is not liked by many Texans.

Bill   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Cry me a river.

I can't wait until this primary election is over next week. I can't take any more of her whining.

angel   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

i want everyone to consider this do you want this lady making decisions for this country?she cant keep her composure she cant control herself. i for one dont want her sitting next to the big red phone when this country needs help, whats she gonna do apologize the next day because she got (a little hot) no thanks hill go home.

mindy   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Give it a rest, Hill honey. You sound like an old scold with your "shame on you, Barack …" comment. Time for a new career. Maybe you can teach 5th grad math somewhere?

Gary   February 26th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

Seems our news in N.y. are showing what this smooth talker Obama is changing things right now. Young kids stapping eachother over the canadates .Dont like the way Hillary is getting slammed and Obama being praised.Showed adults fighting over the same thing.Your Obama changes are sure starting. We havnt seen anything yet. Soon they will be shooting eachother.Like I said. The devil comes in many faces,promises you the world,tells you what you want to hear,gets your soul ,in this case your votes than your doomed.Its going back to 1960s. This country will be so divided ,thats the changes you will see.I hope you Obama deciples will like your CHANGE. concerned Viet nam Vet God help us all

The Clinton's never have dealt with the truth very well , it is to close to Integrity.

Joe   February 26th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

The Obama campaign is the biggest charade I have ever seen. The vast majority of his followers are so blind, it's scary. They don't care about substance, they only care about good looks and good speeches. Barack doesn't bring anything to the table but empty rhetoric, that sadly his blind and ignorant flock have bought without question.

Obamafanatics, he's not Jesus, MLK, JFK all wrapped in one package with a nice blue bow.

Amy Pepperney   February 26th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Spell check, anyone?

Mike   February 26th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Great, just what we need, a short-fused president. World War 3, anyone?

OhioVoter   February 26th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

To everyone calling Senator Clinton wishy-washy — we can't make the same accusations about Senator Obama. He won't tell us what he stands for. He just piggy-backs Senator Clinton's plans and then votes "present" when the vote requires a "tough" decision.

Also a favorite of Senator Obama — saying he wouldn't vote for the war in Iraq when he wasn't even a member of Senate. Thanks — that really clears it up. I love it when someone tries to call the plays without studying the playbook.

Douglas   February 26th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

I think this is way too serious an election to let the media like cnn puppet ppl around…..i want to know the issues and not the bs…..my countries future is on the line. So here what i do know, this country has been wanting universal healthcare since i can remember….obama has a good thought but it isn't enough. What if you tell every1 that you have an option to get social security tax taken out of our check or not. Where would your retirement come fromn then. Take insurance from my check if its the same as the governments, heck garnish my wages.

DOCTANE   February 26th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

This is all too comical . This election has invoked everyone, even me and I don't gO crazy for much. I agree with Rose from Silicon Valley, that flier has been out for months and I m pretty she about it. Man she's bi-polar, "schizophrenic " rather. "Did I even spelled that word right.? However this country is really alive at this point and I don't know if its because of her , Hilary or OBAMA. Well apparently the cameras seem to like OBAMA more, and seem to be very true on the night he won Wisconsin and all the T.V stations left Hilary and her losing speech to go to OBAMA and his winin speeach. My gosh ! when a black man in America could do that to a white woman. OBAMA would of been lynch in the 60's for that . GO OBAMA!!!

JD   February 26th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

"She should NOT be held accountable for what her husband did."

Wait a second…isn't that the "experience" on which she is basing her claim? So, the positives from the Clinton administration gave her, the First Lady, the right to claim credit and suggest that is her experience, but she gets a free ride on the negatives?

Typical Hillary, and typical Hillary supporter.

jackie   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

The biggest question tonight:

Hillary, did you take your meds?

milo   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Hillary has no self control. A President should be able to show more self control that what she is depicting. She is too simple.

Ca Native   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Tonight is the night I have longed waited for…. Hillary Clinton's LAST debate! Next week Ohio and Texas will deliver the final blow to Hillary's campaign and she will (with any shred of decency) quit the race.

Maybe the REAL Hillary will show up tonight with glares, claws, and her typical cynicism.

Ellie Carter   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary….. how many of you are there? You can't be showing all these personalities in public, people start getting all scared and backing up. I think the whole Monica and Bill issue really messed you up big time.

Eddie   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Obama supporters, stop dividing our party!

Terry in Hillary's State, Obama's Country, OUR United States of America   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

On the mailing Obama sent on NAFTA quoting Hillary, that a newpaper had her saying it was a boon.

I guess it all comes down to what the meaning of boon is.

Aaron   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

An independent supporter of Obama sends out some literature making unfavorable claims of Clinton's campaign and we're supposed to be outraged at Obama? O.O Thats exactly what this country needs; a president who whines when something doesn't go their way.

Kate   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

I think Billary might be bipolar

California Voter   February 26th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

I frankly think it is about time that Hillary called Obama on some of the material his campaign puts out to the public. The news media challenges him on nothing- – his connection to Rezko, his separatist church, his legislative record — moreover, they do the same most of the time for his wife. So I see nothing wrong with Hillary chastising Obama for those flyers.

prakash chand for HILLARY   February 26th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Media generated celerberty Obama….can teven speak in debates.

I dont know how he gonna address the foreign policies.

I am a democrat, but if Obama wins ,it will be no better than George W Bush,,,,Ithink George W Bush did a better job.

Obama will be a complete failure.

Please re-think elect Hillary.

John   February 26th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

The mailers are true…the statements are in her book! There is also video statements as well….Hillary needs medication!

Obama Supporters...........   February 26th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Well, lets see – will you all be here when the Republicans take the White House again. Senator Obama will be chewed up and spit out by the Republicans! I am not sure I would quite believe CNN's polls.

I am ashamed of the American people who fall for such hollow words…no thought process necessary! Too bad because there is alot riding on these elections and leaving our country to a past cocaine user, past Senator who could vote only 'present', with a wife who hasn't been proud of these United States her entire adult life is just sickening. Senator Obama is devisive. Look at his proposals and lets see if YOU, YOU, and YOU are left out in the cold.

Abner from Sacremento,

Please everyone read his post; what a joke and it epitomizes everything the Clintons and her campaign are about. Abner, you might be right. And is the meaning of the word is…is?

vs   February 26th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

I am a Hillary supporter and I agree with her that she has got a raw deal from the media.You have to let the voters decide how they feel about issues and how their candidate faired in the debates as well as speaches.You guys always keep putting out same negative clips over and over again thus swaying people one side to the other.How can this be a fair election?

Fran   February 26th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Oh please, Obama has been ranting forever and now that Hillary shows some anger you all have something to say. This is double standard!!! You trust a woman to give birth and take care of your children, but you don't want one for President?

Rea   February 26th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

She play the gender card when she can, because we all know women throw tantrums right? She is pathetic, and losing her nerve because things aren't going as well as she would have hoped. We didn't see her getting "heated" and making personal attacks on her opponent when she was ahead in the poles. I've always supported Obama, but had respect for Hilary. Her conduct this weekend has changed that.

H   February 26th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

GET OUT OF THE WAY OBAMA SUPPORTERS. WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING YOUR LIES.

YOU TELL 'EM HILLARY!

Enrique   February 26th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

If Hillary can claim her experience as First Lady as part of her 35 years experience, then Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Laura Bush can run for president and claim to be ready on day one as well.

Sherri   February 26th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

Hillary, your behavior is beyond belief. You supported NAFTA. You said you will consider garnishing wages, on February 3, on ABC News with George Stephanopolous. In terms of your record your six years on the board of Walmart says it all for me. I will not vote for you. I encourage others to join me in support of Barack Obama.

Douglas   February 26th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Another thing is i know she has security experience hell she is on the arm service commity…..i know she has done alot for my children …thanx hill btw….obama is going to be a great president….but i need you to get more experience….i don't know you….

So that means you are voting for Hillary, right?

CNN moderator, please post my comment.

Jazz   February 26th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

The world is hot enough as it is without a president wanting to pull the trigger for every little disagreement. Let's see if she is going to bring her acusations to the debate. Obama has stuck to his charges. As usual, she is the emotional flip flopper.

Michael   February 26th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Most biased political team (Wolf Blitzer and company) does not equal best political team…

Ed   February 26th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Clinton's uncontrolled, undignfied outburst and her hurried, pathetic explanation for it are the most recent signs of a sad, crumbling campaign. Soon this national nightmare will be over.

*clap clap* *point point*

Tiffany   February 26th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

You know what? Enough with this Billary stuff.

We all know that Hillary was really the one making the decisions during her first term in the White House.

No other candidate can say that he has already served 8 years at the White House.

ian   February 26th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

I believe American women are missing a great opportunity in history to make serious political in-roads. They have relagated themselves to staying the course and maintain the status quo. Women need to recogize that "this is their time" and support Hillary Clinton.

Of course!   February 26th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

John………you are wrong!!!!!!! The flyers were NOT true.

factcheck.org

Of course Senator Obama would deny the truth…I am not sure he would know it if it bit him in the butt! Clearly the claims in the campaign literature was false as verified by factcheck.org! Just plain old dirty politics as usual. THIS IS NO CHANGE!

This is Senator Obama doing anything he can to win! As a democratic party member, I am outraged by his actions. I am further outraged that the media is not slamming Obama for these tactics!

kevin   February 26th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

this lady needs medication!!!! next thing you know shes gonna call everyone who supports her morons on national tv during a debate and apologize the next day lady your done!!!

A. E. Peppard   February 26th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Senator Hillary had many oppurtunities to act on healthcare for the past fifteen years plus. Nothing really happened! And, we are to believe that
she will perform when she is ELECTED President…..
Her campaign is tragically shifty and she cannot be trusted. We have had enough of Old Fashioned politics. She needs to gracefully move out of the way for Obama to lead us into the future and restore USA as it deserves.
An X Republican found hope in Senator Obama.

Ray - NJ   February 26th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Obama and his supporters = CULT

SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!

Enrique   February 26th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

She's so scripted and contrived, it's laughable. I once had respect for the former First Lady, but I am sick and tired of her erratic tactics. The sooner she drops out of the race, the better.

An Agnostic Democrat   February 26th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Here she goes again … A different personality for a different audience.

Hillary! Please give it up. This Sybil complex is really getting tiresome.
If you haven't found your "voice" by now, don't know which Hillary you want us to believe – (None of them is honest anyway, and they all talk outta both sides of their mouth) – I suggest you take some time to find yourself, go into therapy and run for the senate again.

How's that for "plans" and "solutions" for the strong (?) woman candidate?! Nice and simple and not the stress and hard work you seem incapable of handling at this point in your career.

cynthia   February 26th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

ohhhhhh stop it with this obama and clinton crap – i'm so sick of this back and forth stuff – cnn is making a clear way for a republican president reporting on this crap over and over – hilary – you shouldn't even be in the race at all – anyone who votes for her will regret it – i don't want a woman with all her emotions in control of one of the strongest countries in world – this makes us look weak – mc cain will keep us at war and obama needs more time to grow – now it is just a process of elimination – i almost want to vote huckabee at this point – you people are getting on my nerves with all this fighting – hiliary has been the worse at this – i know for a face this is how the clintons run their campaigns – i was under their government when he was govenor and as president – also if obama was running a smear campaign he would bring up a lot of other things i'm sure hilary would like to keep quiet – watergate?

Terry   February 26th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

I just shake my head in disgust as your news team states with a straight face that they are non bias in reporting the political news. How can you ask one candidate first 19 to 2 times in a critical debate and say your fair; by the way Obamas questions were a soft ball joke
Please give your listeners some credit.

B.White   February 26th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

I have been following all the news and debates with Clinton and Obama and all the media is pushing for Obama and are always talking down Clinton. What I can not understand is how we can support Obama with no experience. He talks alot but never talks about how he would make things different. I don't believe he knows enough about anything to run this country. This country needs more then a vision. We need experience that only Clinton or McClain will give.

John, Washington DC   February 26th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

She's not going to start crying again, is she?

Paul   February 26th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

INDY PENDENT   February 26th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, shame on you.
I get a little hot too when I see your campaigns dirty politics.
Lets see, Obama's campaign is taking a page out of the Clinton Book
Lunacy is what comes to mind that people support these 2 Hopeless
Arrogant individuals. They are not Leaders in any sense of the Word.
Rich in words but very poor in workable ideas.
You all should really take a look at what these 2 would bring America.
Seriously think about this.
Can anyone give me one good reason to vote for either of these 2?
Right now, from what I have heard and seen they are both no good.
Anyone wish to tell me how they are going to help the USA?
Zoo Like is the America they want for us.
You can stay in a cage, hope for free handouts from them but I refuse!

JohnS   February 26th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

I do not want a President to be my role model. I just want someone out there who can BRING together the BEST and Brightest in this nation!!!! This is what Bill did, this is what Kennedy did, this is what King did and the list goes on.

Clearly Obama has taught CONSTITUTIONAL law in a top rated university in this nation. I mean, the law of the land. What more could we expect?

If any of the time-tested Senators was going to bring about change in this nation, they would have done so by now. How long has Hillary been out there? What is her record of bringing people together to IMPLEMENT solutions that are all over the place? How many enemies have she and Bill succeeded in making over the years? Are the Clintons reaping what they planted over these years? Is this the type of bickering anyone would want to wake up to for the next 8 years? You be the judge!

OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes We Can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara Marano   February 26th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Hilary Clinton is no Margaret Thatcher! Margaret Thatcher came across as warm, nurturing, unifying and safe; but at the same time wise, strong and scrupled. Whereas Hilary comes across as abrasive, course, divisive and unscrupulous! Thatcher comes across as one who would protect the integrity even of her rival, unless it was imperative for nation concerns to be revealed, whereas Hilary would expose her rival to reach her goal. There is something to be said for integrity in our corrupt government today. Obama exhibits these traits- whether it is true or not, and that makes him more electable.

Kurt   February 26th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

That is exactly what we need. A presidential hopeful that cannot control their emotions.

Arkansas Undertaker   February 26th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

Hillary's tactical stunts are going to cost her this nomination and could possibly cost Obama the general election in November.

She only "got hot" because she knows she is loosing the battle. She needs to concede now while she still has her dignity.

Obama will see through her tactis tonite as well.

OBAMA 08

Adam P   February 26th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

So what does this mean? We should vote for someone to lead our nation that can't control her temper in a public setting? Yeah, I think that's just what we need.

melody, Snohomish, wa   February 26th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Every democrat should be enraged. Obama has done this continually. He gives speeches and then attacks Hillary. It is time the news people look a little closer at this candidate. With his lack of experience, he is not ready to lead this country. And his wife is not ready to be the first lady. There is plenty to be proud of in this country. WE need some who is strong, can face the issues, and is experienced. THAT IS HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sally   February 26th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

It's too late…it is already out there….

Where did all those years of experience go??

You actually should go back to kindergarten and learn the basics….be nice, play fair, don't lie….

Look you both have touted the benefits of NAFTA and NAFTA-like treaties so neither of you can claim this holier than thou thing…in the end however I still feel I can trust Obama to improve things in America. Your presidency would be more of the same…lies, corruption, special interests…

Think Critically   February 26th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Bi-polar nature of her campaign is quite scary. I'm sure, now that the two will be face-to-face again tonight, she will "be honored to be talking with Obama" once again.

Come on, seriously.

Rose in Silicon Valley, CA   February 26th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

That flier has been out for months, she only got "angry" about it to try and revive her campaign!! This was pure theatrics, nothing else.

Chris, Wisconsin   February 26th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Abner from Sacramento   February 26th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Let us clarify something. At the CNN/Univision debate, Senator Clinton said she was honored TO BE THERE sharing the stage with Obama. That is a HUGE difference with what some people imply she said. She DID NOT say she was honored TO BE WITH Obama; rather, she was honored to be there. The honor was NOT to be with Obama, but TO BE THERE debating with the opponent.

John   February 26th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

The mailers were true!!!! What's the problem Billary?!

Hello!   February 26th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Oh brother! Didn't anyone see David Bergen on Anderson Cooper 360 last night? He CLEARLY STATED that Hillary Clinton was orignally AGAINST NAFTA! She should NOT be held accountable for what her husband did. After it was done, do you really think it would have been wise of the First Lady to be critical of this? I think not.

Before you pounce on Hillary, maybe you should get your facts straight.

VA   February 26th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

GIVE ME A BREAK HILLARY…YOU ARE SO WISH WASHY…YOU WOULD UNLEASH ON HIM, CONSTANTLY IF YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD AND IT WOULD GET YOU POINTS….WHAT THE LITERATURE SAID WAS TRUE…I HAVE SEEN REPORTS WHERE THOSE LINES WERE EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID….FEED YOUR LIES TO SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW BETTER!!!!!!

king from toronto   February 26th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

According to NBC's Meet the Press, in 2004, Clinton said, "I think, on balance, NAFTA has been good for New York and America."

crat3   February 26th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Cult leader Obama sends mail that is false, misleading and discredited to get votes. So he will do anything to win; and the ends justify the means. That's no real change to believe in; that's divisive, dirty politics.

Florida voter   February 26th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Yeah u tell him Hillary. Best of luck at the debate tonight, I believe in you! VOTE HILLARY 08!

Walter   February 26th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

I've had my doubts about Obama's willingness to do what it takes to win.

Guess I shouldn't have been so worried.

Closely Watching   February 26th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

You are regretting not acting very presidential when your presidential campaign is finding itself full of regrets? How about apologizing for "the skies will open and celestial…" speech in Cincy? That was an even deeper glimpse into your tri-polar personality. Is this really the person we want running our country?

Obama '08

BobW   February 26th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

You mean it is just now sinking in that she opened her mouth and bit off her foot?

I'm getting tired of Hillary's tactic of throwing a hand grenade and apologizing after.

Obama Supporter   February 26th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Hillary is the biggest hypocrite that I know, like she hasn't done the exact same thing, said even worse.

And some of you want this woman to be president?

Jether J.   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I'm sorry but that headline just made me crack up. I really appreciate Hillary as a former First Lady and a humanitarian, but Barack Obama policies for Healthcare, the economy, and diplmacy with foreign countries sound better to me.

Obama '08!

Mike   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Hillary you owe no apologies!

Cogratulations will be in order however when you win the nomination!

Go Hillary!

Brian   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Don't we (the people) normally look for folks who keep their cool under fire to be in elected leadership positions????

Ted   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Pot calling kettle black…

Marina   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Too little too late Hillary.

Go Barack!!

Mike   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

On an objective note, Hillary has now loaded the gun and handed it to Barack. Here's what I mean: She has run an offensive and innaccurate campaign from day one. She has thrown things at Barack that are neither true, nor widely believed in the face of her bogus claims. Now we sit hours before what is probably her final debate. All Barack needs to do is calmly ask her in front of a national audience why its acceptable for her to spread false ads yet its deplorable when he spreads ads that are factual. I would also ask her to tell the American people exactly why the mailers his campaign sent in Ohio are false and then debate it with her. She has given him the perfect opporunity to clarify what every sane voting American is thinking…that Hillary is a farse, her campaign is a farce, and when forced to debate the claims she falsely makes on free national TV, that she will fold like a ten dollar tent from Walmart. Go get her tonight Barack!

Hillary, do you care   February 26th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Your comment on Obama has not t falling on death ears. Your not all that you maaking your self out to be. Let be honest, when Clinton was in office you did nothing in his administration. your not liable to nothing when he was in office.

Hillary, You can even pay your bills how can you manage America fiscal responsibility.

rich   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

I wish Hillary would just go away. She is in denial, as her campaign is over.

john g   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Well said Hillary. Obama today also said that he at times has not projected the right tone in the campaign and Mccain today denounced a right wing radio hosts nasty comments about Obama, at his own detrment ,as I read the host now is rethinking his decision to support McCain. Im an Obama supporter and while im not against pointing out differences, I think that any "attack" should represent a genuine disagreement, not just to score political points. Good luck to Hillary and her supporters tonight and hears to hoping for a civil, substantive debate ( which includes not just issue positions, but debate on management style, vision and even experience etc.)

gerri mallebranche   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Charles   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

She seems unstable. One day with the happy mood, the next with the lashing out and slamming doors. It's good we are finding this out now rather than later where it could harm our country like that other guy, um, what's his name? Right, George Bush.

slim   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

mccain and clinton get critized and it's "YEYYYY!!! THAT'S SO RIGHT!!!!" obama gets rightfully criticized and it's "don't pick on poor obama." when will you people open your eyes to the truth of this man – he's no better than most other poltiicans – he is not a saint. he's the same ol' arrogant, say-anything-to-win poltitican. he promises the world but he could never live up to that promise.

Jim   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Obama was not wrong! Even though he may have twisted Hilary's words a bit, his main point is 100 percent correct. A mandate is a mandate. Hiliary's plan would force everyone to pay for health care. Even those individuals just on the line in qualifying for medicaid.

Brian in Ohio   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

She needs to just give it up and throw in the towel… I am tired of her nagging.

Nick   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Am I to believe she sends nothing that is false via mail? Being a republican, I'm not privy to her mailing, but I have seen some from McCain, and others when they were in the race.

And I've heard some ads of hers that are borderline false.

they all do false ads. and I'm to believe she's above that and doesn't do it?

david   February 26th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

give me a break. why hot on Obama? you can debate even if those mailers were false. but the call out was really unfortunate. you wanted test whether that tactic works or not. As the polls show Obama surging even after that now you realized it didnt work. now you are changing your tone.
obama 08. hillary on vacation.

Jeremy Abbas   February 26th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

And looked very unpresidential in the process. Clinton's lack of any cultural sensitivity in her latest childish ploy of circulating the photograph of Obama in traditional African clothing disqualifies her to hold any office of public trust, in my opinion. She has lost my vote and respect.

Hillary, just say you felt DESPERATE!!!   February 26th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Obama has said the SAME thing to you at the debates. There was nothing new or scandalous. IT WAS THE TRUTH!!!

So Hillary,
Did you vote like Bush, YES, on the Iraq war? YES
Did you vote like Bush, on Iran? YES
Are you having a bad financial campaign? YES
Is it true that you didn't thank many of the states that you lost? YES
Is it true that you said some people are NOT part of the electorate? YES
Have you told the American people that you supported NAFTA? YES
Is it true that after 2 FULL terms you did not get us Universal Health Care in the ‘90s.? YES
Is it true that you said on several occasions that you will FORCE people who do NOT want your Health Care plan? YES

See it was ALL true!!!

GOOD JUDGEMENT TRUMPS BAD EXPERIENCE ANY DAY. PERIOD!!!

VOTE OBAMA '08 YES WE CAN

Lily in TX   February 26th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Say it to his face… dont shake his and and speak in polite tones. This should be interesting to watch tonight. I wonder which one of HRC's multiple personalities will emerge…

Brent   February 26th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Clinton's eleventh-hour decision to resort to misleading and mean-spirited campaign rhetoric underscores the state of desperation her campaign finds itself in. Here in Texas, this last minute strategy is not playing very well and she is quickly losing support in a state that she had all but locked up less than two months ago.

Charle   February 26th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

She got a little hot over a mailer? How is she going to react when she faces real crises? Imagine HRC being in control of the nuke-button when someone in Iran or Russiamakes a remark that does not pleases her…….
I for one would rather see thepres of the USA talking one on one with the "enemy" before'sending other people's children to fight a war.Please no more presidents of the kind that cannot keep it cool when put under pressure please

This race would be over yesterday if Barack announces Caroline Kennedy as his VP! OBAMA / Kennedy 08!

Femaie, Kennedy Name and OMG the world would rejoice in American Patriotism in 2008!

Josh   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

She seems rather unstable. Making a lot of noise and suddenly cooling down. I don't think that is a very comforting quality to see in a President. I understand she might have been trying to display toughness, but its coming off all wrong.
None of the other candidates, even Huckabee, are so shrill and worrisomely unstable when not doing well in polls.

I wanted her to be president so much, but now when I get to see her in action under heat, I think such mannerism of a person representing the country after Bush would worsen its image in international eyes especially in the Middle East and Europe.

Texasboo   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

When will she accept responsiblity for the false mailings on Obama's dispariging his record on pro-life in NH? What about the race-baiting between latinos and blacks? How about the mailers on Obama's healthcare plan in WI? How about the racial innuedo comments from Clinton camp? Now she's debasing his supporters as delusional and mystified?

GIVE ME A BREAK!!

Let me tell you something, no matter how Sybillary spins it, that type of behavior is UNACCEPTABLE and UNPROFESSIONAL. I thought I wwas watching a rabbid Republican opponent. She went way overboard. She went off on fliers that were true? NOTHING wil ever, ever will make me trust her as a Commander in Chief.

WHen will she release those tax records?

TEXAS FOR OBAMA

Larry Sotoodeh   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

The Clinton's are so perverted they don't know what's right anymore. HC's loss of her temper was NOT PROFESSIONAL .This woman can't control herself, that's why she's trying to spin her temper loss. The leak of the Obama garb photo is sad, like her and her boob husband. Let's move up and on America! Get rid of the Clintion's once and forever!-Larry Sotoodeh-Reformed Republician

Tim   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

She is the biggest hypocrite in the world. Her recent actions reek of fear, loss of power and poor messaging from her campaign staff. If she can't control them, how is she going to run the country? Same old, same old…

Google Hillary movie or the Clinton body count for some interesting information.

And for all those who say Obama is all talk, do your homework and look at his positions on his Web site.

Vinny   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

We are not that Dumb!!! The mailing were long out weeks before the debate and Clinton did not mention them but "was honored to debate obama" only to be "hot" about the mailings later…how disingenuous. And the Oscar goes to…….Hillary (duh)

Obama will beat McCain!!!

Martin St-Pierre   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Hillary tries to cool it down before the debate after it back fired in her face one more time!

Joe   February 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

But the mailers have not been discredited, although I may admit they were misleading. Clinton did not exactly say NAFTA would be a "boon" to the economy. Actually, this quote was taken from a New York Times article, not the senator herself. But even though she did not use that word, she praised NAFTA greatly when it came out, and mentions this in her book.

On healthcare, Clinton has been vague about the details of her "mandate," and depending on how strong the mandate is, still about amillion people can be left out. This is far less than the 15 million estimated to be left out of Obama's plan (who are apparently people who do not want healthcare), but not matter how weak or strong the mandate is, it is bound to hurt someone in someway.

I am glad to see Clinton admit that she may have overreacted, but she seems to maintain her statement that the mailers are "blantently false," especially when she herself has sent out several misleading mailers criticizing Obama on Social Security taxes and mortgage foreclosures.

John Paul   February 26th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Billary, I mean HILLARY is desperate and trying to do and say whatever she can to beat Obama. It is funny because she uses the same tactics- lies, that she is accusing the Obama campaign of. Hillary and her campaign need to conceed to Obama after she loses in Texas and possibly loses in Ohio as well.

Becky-Texas   February 26th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

One more reason you shouldn't be president, you can't control your emotions, speak out of anger, that is why Iraq is a mess, went their in anger!! so you lost all my hopes, you should only be upset when your husband cheats on you with several women

Sig, Los Angeles CA   February 26th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Bipolar – is this really the woman you want running the country? I'd love a female president but certainly not one who is emotionally unstable.

Drew   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Getting a little hot? Crying? Are we as voters supposed to run the gamut of emotions before the DNC? I completely empathize with the fact that we as humans are entitled to our feelings, but I hardly find the wanton display of such emotion characteristic of the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful country in the world. I don't want to have to guess in what kind of emotional state my President will be pending the next obstacle/crisis that arises.

Just one more of the qualities that I find a bit distasteful about Sen. Clinton.

Chalk up another Obamacan.

Barry, CO   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Heated is a very polite way to say she went postal! I don't blame her, after living with the king of what "is" is, she probably doesn't know if she's coming or going.

McCain 08

Obama is the truth   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Whats this applogoy number 6…..first you run off at the mouth then its "I"m honored to be here with Obama" to "Shame on you Obama" to "I'm sorry I got heated"..this woman has lost her mind…she doesn't know what to do now that Obama is about to send her packing

Farrell, Houston, Tx   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Just give Hillary the KO punch and be done. I'm sick and tired of her whinning about Obama. Just sick and tired.

Kristy   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

For some reasons Hill forgot this is a campaign. It seems as if it's o.k. for her to throw punches, but when they come her way she allows herself to get all bent out of shape. Hillary really needs to let it go, and let us hear a new person, with new lies.

slapstick, FLORIDA   February 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

I don't believe that she is actually admitting her faults. Now lets see what her supporters have to say about this. I'm sure they will have some sort of excuse; they always do.

Obama 08

Info   February 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

is it that time of the month again?

Chris - Baltimore,MD   February 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

This was a very smart move by Sen. Clinton, though I think it may have come too late. She knows she went overboard. SO does everybody else.
I also have a very strong concern about the postings and comments left here in general and the reaction to endorsements.

Why can't you supposed ADULTS present your arguments clearly, concisely, and with proper punctuation and grammar? Just because you are posting online doesn't mean the rules of grammar get thrown out the window. How do you people expect to be taken with any credibility? I read these comments and blogs and all I see are supposedly mature adults that think name calling, slander, and lies will lend credibility to their chosen candidate.
My final remark is directed at those of you who belittle endorsements. This tactic I see emanating primarily from those of you in the Clinton camp. You claim that endorsements from some of the most senior members of Congress mean nothing. How can this be? When Sen. Obama receives one, it's just another "old establishment buffoon jumping on the band wagon." Sen. Clinton receives one of these endorsements and suddenly whoever just gave the endorsement has "seen the light" and is siding with the savior of America. Please folks, lets grow up some here.

For the record – I am a 21 year old white male and I voted for Barack Obama in the Maryland primary. In the event that Sen. Obama does not win the democratic nomination for president, I will gladly support Sen. Clinton with every ounce of energy I have in order to rid this country of the scourge the GOP has brought down upon us.

Think about it folks.

Helio Santos   February 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

She's lost and out of her mind. Its shows that shes's not ready for the job.

Sue   February 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I think it is remarkable that Hillary has been able to keep it together as well as she has. She's had to deal with the biased press and constant personal attacks on her by Obama and his fanatical supporters. I've been a Democrat all my life and have voted that way in every presidential election since 1972, but if Obama is the nominee, I won't be doing so this year. The problems in this country are too serious and complex to leave it to hope and chance.

LaVon Mitchell   February 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Is this a sign that women may be too emotional to be president…? I don't know, but I can hear it coming up soon. I feel that this race is a political trainwreck for the democratic party, because whoever wins, loses and whoever loses, loses. Either one would make a great president and set precedent as well, but let's not bring down the democratic party at the same time. What a shame…

Hilda Ugalde   February 26th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

I'm glad that at least someone in the media is fair and gives equal comments to them both. I only hope people see the truth before it's to late. GO HILLARY!

Tracey   February 26th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Hillary is justified. Obama has been running a very negative campaign for months. He also hasn't been upfront with voters regarding his own record and penchant for receiving campaign contributions from special interests and lobbyists. Online research of the financing of both campaigns reveals that there are very few differences between the two even though Obama has stolen countless votes from Hillary by misrepresenting the facts and implying otherwise.

Bertha Abdu   February 26th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

But this is what Hillary Clinton herself has done all the time, she has circulated and said so many things on Obama to soil his image. is it only now that she realised that Democrat should be outraged by such actions? When she says enough of speeches, does she released she is also making speeches?

Mike, Land O Lakes, FL   February 26th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

Liz   February 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

More two-faced behavior by Obama:

He did not stop taking rides on subsidized corporate jets until the week he was tapped to be the Democrats' chief spokesman on ethics in January 2006. In 2005, Obama took 23 such private aircraft flights, some to attend fund-raisers he headlined. In 2006, Obama led the fight to ban lawmakers from taking cut-rate private air travel.

Em   February 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Hillary seems to be flailing around trying to find something to stick to Obama, but it doesn't appear to be working.

krissy   February 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

She DID support NAFTA, she HAS said that she will garnish wages and force people to pay for health insurance. Obama didn't lie, she is just desperate.

Obama is a much better candidate!

Billary Huckabee   February 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

OMG – Bi-Polar BILLARY HUCKABEE is at it again…This is very good for Obama, MAGGIE WILLIAMS deserves credit. Karl Rove is beginning to look like human compared to the Clinton Campaign!!!

Fact – Mailers have been out since around Super Tuesday.
Fact – She did support NAFTA.
Fact – She will have to charge a penalty if you do not want her Universal Healthcare plan.
Fact – Her 35 years of experience are "her public life" experience.
Fact – She has been in ELECTED OFFICE less then Obama
Fact – She was not a part of Cabinet decisions in the Clinton WH

Bi-Polar BILLARY HUCKABEE for the Dem Party, please exit, stage left with some grace and dignity. But, no…she is a Clinton and will destroy the Party for personal gain.

Texas and Ohio send her the FINAL MESSAGE to her disgraceful act – Vote OBAMA!!!

Stacy Clarks, Texas   February 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

If what rightpundits is reporting on Mansiongate is true, this bickering is all water under the bridge. Obama has bigger problems.

Charles Stoy   February 26th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Personally, I am tired of listening to her. There is not a lot of difference between the two. She apparently can only differentiate herself from him by attacking, by going negative. If she were so capable, then why did her campaign ignore all those contests after Super Tuesday. Oh, yeah, she had no money. All of that experience and she ran out of money? Is Penn worth that much?

So much for experience.

Republican Looking In   February 26th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Hillary, my Dear,
I am sure that you do not like false and misleading characterizations of you. You also do not like the unflattering yet true exposes either. You have embraced Bill's Presidency, and its achievements, and tried mightily to take as much credit as you can for them. You get the good with the bad, and you did flip-flop. Your claim to exxperience is a joke to most BTW. This Republican wants you to win the nomination, as you would be far easier to beat. One wish I will not get.

Tom   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Please, please, please give it up Billary. The new tatic must be do sling as much as you can and see if it sticks! Also, if you do finally drop out, you don't to provide your tax returns, that must be what you are waiting for.

Steve Ford   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

If Hilary Clinton can't focus her campaign on what she can do for the American people instead of tearing down her chief opponent…she should roll up her banners and go home.

jc   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

I would have more respect for her if she stuck to her guns. I still would not agree with her berating and/or criticizing the Obama camp for sending out the flyer (which is not only typical of all political campaigns, but something that the Clinton campaign did in all the early primaries), but at least she would be consistent. Her flip-flopping mood is showing why she couldn't handle being President. She lost her cool over a political campaign flyer that was only stating her policies? Isn't that exactly what you would expect during a campaign? How will she handle personal attacks on her presidency, or on America? I am convinced now that she is the wrong choice for America.

CLINTON STRONG   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Pay no mind to polls…She will win with the Latin Vote…She will win in Ohio..She may not close the gap, but so many people still enjoy her..

KMAN   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Unfortunate for her … Hillary has indelibly displayed to the American people how truly troubled she is … and how ineffective she would be as a Commander in Chief. As President, sharp focus and a strong organization are essential, but her campaign shows she is sorely lacking in those two rudimentary areas. How can she govern a nation when she cannot run an effective campaign with all of her 'experience' and inside Washington support? Failure without precedence!

Annoyed   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Oh, enough Hillary! She's constantly double talking. Obama 2008!

Jay   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Didn't barack just point out the subtle differences in their policies? isn't that what he is supposed to do?

If you don't want us to vote on policy, then we'll vote on charisma.

either way we'll vote for Barack.

besides why do we want experience in a system that we don't want to use anymore?

sure i'm really good at using my 8-track player but hey, maybe its time for .mp3's

Barack the vote '08

Joe Wawrzyniak   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Are you serious? I swear the woman suffers from multiple-personality disorder. She says one thing on one day and says something else on the other. She is very inconsistent and that's why I feel she isn't ready to be President and the new polls indicate the same thing. When was her change on NAFTA discredited? I've seen it played over and over that she did flip-flop on the issue as she has done on many other issues. Does she make it up as she goes along? Get out of the race Hillary so the party still has a chance to be credible in November.

Helen Ramatowski   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

She is displaying a lot of intemperance and turning off voters like me.

MBG   February 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

I'm simply amazed. Mrs. Clinton forgets that her campaign continues false attacks and dirty campaign. Now that those attacks have failed, we are now all of a sudden supposed to be believe that she is the victim. That her campaign wants to pay fair.

I really want to admire Mrs. Clinton. I realize that it is tough to be a woman candidate. But, I'm just having a hard time connecting with her. I'm having a hard time believing her rhetoric. I'm having a hard time believing that she's genuine.

Kc   February 26th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Let it go, Hilary.
Your reputation has been sullied by you and your followers. You could have left with grace and dignity but have chosen to dirty your memory. I'm really sorry about that.

Nevermind the fact that 2 hours after Obama said, in the debates, that the plagarism charges were "silly season" politics — he issued charges of plagarism against Hillary.

Yes, I think it's OK for her to have gotten a bit upset at his actions following her attempt to agree on a positive campaign following the debate.

Obama loves to talk nice and have his campaign do the dirty work. So, why the criticism of Hillary only here after she has *been attacked*? Can't a candidate defend herself?

CNN has Obama's back, as usual.

What is amazing to me is Hillary Clinton thinks it's okay to belittle Barak Obama, but all she did was put a nail in her own coffin. America is sick of Bill and Hillary! They have no integrity and they play "dirty politics." The flyers that went out were absolutely truthful and Hillary can't face the truth! I have watched all of the debates and I have followed the candidates carefully! Hillary double talks and she has been caught in lies. Barak Obama is absolutely truthful. Hillary will do anything to win. Hillary has hurt the Democrat party and in essence, her campaign is over! She needs to do the right thing and step down!

Her supposed outrage was so contrived, by the way – SHE DID SUPPORT NAFTA, THE IRAQ WAR, and wants to MANDATE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE – WHETHER YOU CAN AFFORD IT OR NOT.

I turned down coverage today, even with my employer covering 30%, I STILL CAN'T AFFORD IT. I pay for two kids and my wife and I pray for the best.. A fine would not help me right now..

OBAMA 08

Don't back down now Hillary, Its Do or Die!!!

Obama/Edwards 08

oh Clinton Clinton, Drop out with some grace please, Pretty please with sugar on top :)

VIVIAN   February 26th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

The damage has been done. She opened her big mouth. And Obamas mailers were TRUE although exxagerated. I don't want a president who'll get "heated" and freak out about nothing. I want someone with an even temperment like OBAMA!

Mad Texan   February 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I don't see how one could look at the man knowing that everything he promises he can not deliver withgout getting mad. Hillary I think you have done a wonderful job of keeping your cool right from the first debate when Obama and Edwards started atttacking you, Obama has not let up since. The only thing about him is there is no substance to him. I understand the black voters voting for him. What I don't under stand is the whites that do. If they don't want you,then back there there was Edwards for a choice. Oh well you usually get what you ask for. After all we got DUYHA for eight years I guess we can put up with this monkey for four. Then we'll have a Republican again for 16 years. Because it will take that long for the Democrats to regroup after he destroys them. That is if he can win the nomination that I still don't believe he can. VOTE FOR HILLARY NOW.

viv   February 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I think that Hilliary clinton is trying to get the sympathy vote now. it is too late. she blew it. let g hilliary please let go.

Theo   February 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

when did you notice the mailings? Aren't that what campaigns do? Didn't you notice the mailings all the way from Iowa? give me a break!
You are a sore looser and you need a prozac!

Keith   February 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I actually liked it when she got all heated. It showed that she was a real person with feelings, not a plastic celebrity like Obama.

Nancy   February 26th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

It's true sexism in the media that a woman can't be angry without getting notice.

Women, vote for Hillary, you should be ashamed of yourselves if you're not. It's our turn.

nigeriagirl   February 26th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Ms. Clinton, could you please stop this your act…last weekend you were outraged because of a mailer Obama's campaign sent out and now that you are facing barack tonight, you are trying to use oh-am-the-victim emotions to get people to understand you…Iwell, i still don't understand…stop blaming your acts on "stuff" I STILL STAND BEHIND MY MAN, OBAMA

carol   February 26th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

I bet those who are applausing her are the only hard core supporters of hers. Many people I knew would not vote for this woman for her behaviour over the weekend. They rather vote for mccain if not Obama!

AK   February 26th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Someone needs to go after him! The media has obviously been on his side throughout this. People need to wake up and see what Obama really stands for. It's wonderful to hear about hope, dreams, and change in those inspirational speeches, but when it's all said and done, you need someone who is going to know what he/she is doing to run our country!

Not on the kool-aid!   February 26th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Obama is all talk. He'll be lost as President. He has accomplished little if anything important in the senate.

This is not a vote for head cheerleader; it's a vote for a world leader!

Randy - Denver   February 26th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

WOW is this presidential material??? Is this how her experiance plays out? I can just see it now her getting on the air saying to terrorist "Bring it on" than later, in a smaller venue saying "Well it was probably a mistake to say bring it on" The statement in his mailers have not changed, she made them (or at least they were atribbuted to her) she can deny it all she wants, maybe she doesn't understand what mandate means (IE if you chose not to enroll in a mandated program there will be fines or jail time at a minimum or else it is NOT a mandate) if so where is all her vaunted intelligence? It must be getting close to a debate or an election she is starting to play nice again.. sheesh give it up already.

mb   February 26th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Clinton is done, she just hasn't admitted it yet. File her under "also ran."

Bill   February 26th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Give it a rest, lady.

a) You wrote in your book how you supported NAFTA, and what a great achievement it was for your husband's presidency. YES, you did support it. The mailer did not get that wrong.

b) You did state, publicly, that under your healthcare plan, everyone would be required to buy healthcare insurance, and that you favored enforcement of that – through garnishing wages. So yes, your plan would force everyone – even those who cannot afford it – to buy health insurance.

Where was the mailer wrong?

StephanieVegas   February 26th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Hillary has more faces than she needs! I'm Officially DONE! as of today, I'm switching my support over to Barack Obama! Those fliers were mailed out weeks ago, and NOW she decides to respond??? Give me a break! What's even worse is the info in the fliers were factual! Obama was right about her….The same old Washington Politics. Good Riddance Hillary! You're officially a loser!

willy   February 26th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I personally don't want a hot headed president. It is a risk I can not afford!

Ray - NJ   February 26th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Just because she says she was Honored dosent means he is going to let him make lies about her. Get over it CNN.

kim   February 26th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

He is going to be our president because we wouldn't want hot headed presidents!

Seydia Adkins   February 26th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

This has more to do with Clinton's "valedictory" speech near the Texas debates' end; have we missed something? Why must she bring the past up concerning her husband? For me, for anyone to compromise another individual for benefit, in this case, a vote, raises lots of flags. It says alot about her and the way she "works." Shame on you Hillary.

jason   February 26th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

lol!

yoshi927   February 26th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Now she wants to take it back. How is she supposed to run the US if she can't even stick to her bet? And, if this comment gets posted… it'll be a first.

Texas for obama   February 26th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Hillary,

trying to change her stragedy, before the debate. it will not work!
Acting to be nice, same old angry lady. Just quit!

giriraj   February 26th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

you are a smart politician

Brian   February 26th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Just like Obama girl!
