Clinton is hoping for big wins in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday.
Clinton is hoping for big wins in Ohio and Texas on Tuesday.

BEAUMONT, Texas (CNN) – Hillary Clinton told reporters Monday she is “just getting warmed up” as she campaigned through Ohio and Texas on the eve of primaries that could determine the outcome of the Democratic race for president.

“I think I know what’s happening and I believe we’re going to do well,” she told reporters before a rally in Toldeo, Ohio. When asked how she would “measure success” from the outcome of tomorrow’s contests Clinton replied “winning, winning, winning, that’s my measure of success.”

Clinton said she would take her message on to “Pennsylvania and states ahead,” a proclamation neither she nor her aides have made much since Senator Barack Obama won 11 February contests in a row.

The New York senator remained mainly positive during her first two stops of the day, jettisoning much of the tough rhetoric from over the weekend about Obama’s lack of readiness to be commander-in-chief. Instead she referenced her “lifetime of experience” and pointed to the various endorsements she enjoys from former military officers as examples of why she is primed to occupy the Oval Office.

“They believe they would be well served if I were commander-in-chief, taking care of our sons and daughters,” she told voters in Beaumont jammed in an airport hangar. “...I know we face real threats in the world and you never know when that phone is going to ring at 3 a.m. in the White House. I believe I’m ready to answer that phone.”

When asked by a reporter what specific experience she has had that would make her ready to answer that phone call at 3 a.m., Clinton said, “let me say this - until you’re the president there is no comparison but I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions.”

I'm just soooooo happy to see all these important issues such as Obama's real stance on free trade and dealings with con Tony Razco come to light today . I guess the honeymoon is over! Wake up America! This man is not who he says he is!!!! He claims to be so detached from all Washington stands for! And now his own actions, not the media or the Clinton Camp but his own record comes back to haunt him.

Even if these things would have not come to light today, are we really that naive and delusional as Americans to waste our vote on a man who thinks he can sit down and have a conversation with Hugo Chavez??!!!! Is our judgement that badly impaired?

Finally, an important question to all of us: Why are we so ready to hand over the key to our home to a complete stranger?

GGamma   March 3rd, 2008 9:08 pm ET

Well, after I read many of these comments I see some people saying Obama is just talk, the truth and reality is that you got two roads, one is telling you lies and most of all about me and the other is telling you what is right and what is making sense to you, if you think about it and have watch these all twenty debates and arguments.

MD Democrat   March 3rd, 2008 8:58 pm ET

GO FOR IT HILLARY!!! Fight on to the very end because America needs you. OBAMA IS JUST A TREND AND A DIVERSION.

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE!!!

Obama takes his cheap shots at Hillary until she strikes back. Then he and the media try to make it seem like Hillary is the negative one. The Obama campaign and most of the media are just plain sneaky and underhanded.

Ozz   March 3rd, 2008 8:56 pm ET

Of all the money Clinton spending on Commercials, why didn't she just send it to me so I can pay off my DOCTOR bills, and pay of my credit cards?

Negitave Commercials don't work... If people don't like you they will not vote for you.

People vote for who they like, along with the messages they send out.

As for the Senator in the red dress out of Ohio, you know who you are? The same thing that Dr. King fight for all of his life is now right at your front door knocking. Open the door please??????? And you just shut it right in Dr. king face. What is it? Are you one of those woman who just believed in Woman LIB??? If Woman should just vote for woman, I think Men should just vote for men too. This is for all the men of Ohio voting on Tuesday: Go out and vote for the GENTLEMAN to become the next PRESIDENT of this country.

Shame on the lady in the red dress. Obama will win all 4 state on Tuesdaay by a landslide. Hang your head in shame after that?

LA, CA.

James Redding   March 3rd, 2008 8:55 pm ET

One thing I can say about Senator Clinton, she's a formidable opponent for John McCain. The latest poll for General Election, McCain is +5 against Obama and +3 against Clinton.

What makes Hillary formidable and electable this November, EVERYTHING there is to know about Hillary is already known to the American people. There is NOTHING the Republican National Committee can dig up about Hillary, the American people doesn't know. In the 90's the GOP spent over $40 millions to investigate the Clintons (Bill & Hillary), nothing came out of it.

I am truly amused some people has the notion Obama will survive the GOP Shredder; case in point REZKO. Obama will be called to testify as a WITNESS and that will come. He has not been vetted, there are many anomalies with Obama the media has not been talking about, he has a free ride.

If you don't want another Republican in the Whitehouse, vote for Hillary Clinton; make the wrong choice, you'll have another Republican Whitehouse.

issy davis   March 3rd, 2008 8:55 pm ET

It amazes me how Hillary has come out with all the accusations 24 hrs until Ohio. For all the Hillary Supporters out there take a hard look at who you are defending and the tone your bloggers carry in all these conversations do we really want the United states of America ran by someone who turns the page so quickly and forgets her own downfalls? Sounds like a Female Bush. Senator Obama could bring up alot of crooked deals by the Clintons and remind America of the time and tax dollars wasted by the first Clinton Administration. Look at how their campaigns have been run. Hillary has changed her slogan 5-6 times, her campaign workers are in disarray, and she ran out of money. That should be a pretty good example of how the country will be run by her. People fighting, money wasted, tearing people down because they don't always agree with you and last but not least making bad decision after bad decision then pretending it never happened. I think there will be an Ohio surprise in favor of Obama. Don't forget he is the one who brought the issue to the table because he recognizes there is a problem when Ohioans are losing jobs by the hundreds of thousands. the Clinton campaign is once again disstracting the media and voters from the issue.

Joe   March 3rd, 2008 8:54 pm ET

3:00 am Phone call. At least Hillary will answer the phone. Obama will let the answering machine get it and then spend the next 3 months claiming he would have been right if he had answered the phone. We need a President, not a monday morning quarterback.

Chris   March 3rd, 2008 8:52 pm ET

Latinos unite for Hillary. Let's support her tommorow here in Texas.

John Z.   March 3rd, 2008 8:51 pm ET

I like Hillary's campaign style of late and think that she should have used it earlier in the campaign. It isn't negative campaigning but merely emphasizing the difference between her and Obama on the issue of experience, which many seem to be clueless to because they are so dazzled by Obama's rhetoric. But I, for one, think that it takes more to be president than being young, bright and idealistic.

kim j   March 3rd, 2008 8:50 pm ET

GO OBAMA GO OBAMA!!!! I AM SO PROUD I VOTED FOR YOU. YOU HAVE SO MUCH CHARACTER. DON'T BE NEGATIVE LIKE HILLARY. I KNOW YOU KNOW SOME STUFF ABOUT HER BUT DON'T EVEN CARRY IT LIKE HER. I AM A DEMOCRAT AND I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER AFTER TODAY IT'S LIKE I CAN SEE THE DEMON IN HER EYES. I SEE A SIDE 0F HER TODAY THAT DIDN'T KNOW. I AM SURE ALOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY.

king from toronto   March 3rd, 2008 8:49 pm ET

did anyone knew the clintons use to be friends of REZKO's .and that he used to donate to their campaign????????

Jackie from Virginia   March 3rd, 2008 8:48 pm ET

If Hillary wins this nomination based on her not acknowledgeing BO is not a Christian I will not vote for her. I am a black person and playing with someone race and regilion is nothing to play with. I did not like the way they treated Rommey either.

john   March 3rd, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Now we see the real Hillary we voters are not BillyBoy so please stop with the nagging already.

Interesting   March 3rd, 2008 8:46 pm ET

If she was a man they would say "This is all about his ego."

If she can't win to heck with the rest of us.

We are the Ones.

O-BA-MA O-BA-MA

We can change the world.

Obama / Sebelius 08

Outside of the box   March 3rd, 2008 8:44 pm ET

There are other parties beside the Depublicrats. If it is change the Nation craves, then perhaps we should elect somebody who can tell the difference between their party and the others.

Tyler in Raleigh   March 3rd, 2008 8:43 pm ET

If "winning, winning, winning" is how you measure sucess... then what about your 0-11 record since Super Tuesday (where it was a tie).

She says she has a "firewall", Bill and everyone comes out and says she needs 2 big wins to stay in. Now when she finds that is not the case... as always she backs out. I have a problem that she has more faces and "voices" than any politician since Nixon.

I guess winning only counts in the states that "matter" to the Clintons. And states only matter if she wins them. We better vote for Clinton, or we are at risk of being thrown out of the union.

cw in oh   March 3rd, 2008 8:42 pm ET

watching all this coverage on the news is getting crazier and crazier by the day. the last time Ive seen a election campaign this bad was in 2000.now look where we are at as a nation right now . so if any in OHIO , home of the buckeyes see this before you vote tomorrow big wigs made enough money off us on fear , the war and gas for too long lets come together put Hillary too bed tomorrow and vote for the change that america suppose to be

J. K   March 3rd, 2008 8:41 pm ET

What???!!

I voted for Obama in primary.

I couldn't belive my ear when I heard that Obama admited that his campaign sfaffer has met Canadian official about NAFTA, which he had denied for over a week. He surely would deny for ever if there is not the meeting memo surfaced.

All politicians have one thing in common: they lie when they think it's necessary. I was so disappointed because I looked up to Obama as a politican so different with other politicans, however, the fact revealed the opposite of what I used to believe in him. He is not who he claimed. no better than other politicans. I admit he is a talented speaker who is great for rhetoric. A TV talk show host position is more suitable for him, but definately not the position of president of U.S.

I voted for him in primary, but I am sure that I won't vote for him in general election even if he win the nomination.

Real American   March 3rd, 2008 8:40 pm ET

Let the Rumble begin. Go Hillary take this bully down for us. We are rooting for you. Americans deserve better than the wind bag Obama with no experience or knowledge of foreign affairs.

Alice from MI   March 3rd, 2008 8:40 pm ET

Change? Um...

John McCain is a change – if in name only; or is he a change for the
worse?

Barack Obama is a change – a change for the better; but can he get his programs through?

Hillary Clinton is a change – a change for the best! Hillary delivers
because she never gives up!

Change for the best! Never give up! Go Hillary!!

Jane   March 3rd, 2008 8:40 pm ET

I would fight against Hillary with all my heart, my contributions and my vote. There will be an organized Democratic movement against Hillary Clinton that will even exceed the Independents dislike of her.

NO TO HILLARY AND HER CAMPAIGN OF SMEAR AND FEAR!!!

James   March 3rd, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Tomorrow will it be 15 in a row, and who will Hillary blame this time?

The choice tomorrow is about the future, come on people lets get it over with.

flycatcher   March 3rd, 2008 8:39 pm ET

Upthread, a poster asked since when is the least experienced candidate more qualified. The answer is this: Since David Axelrod (google him) put a video on YouTube essentially asking, "Aren't you tired of listening to your mother?"

person   March 3rd, 2008 8:36 pm ET

CNN, I know that you will reject this comment. But that is OKAY. You, along with MSNBC, have been ONLY writing articles about Hillary Clinton and do not cover Barack Obama. For example, Hillary's attack on Obama concerning NAFTA, then the Rush Limbaugh, then images of Obama dressed up in Somali garb, then CONSTANTLY replaying National Enquirer style ARTICLES questioning Obama on his faith.
The American public will get tired of your bias. Right now, Obama is giving a rally, but you only have Clinton live. Before Wisconsin, you tried the same tactic.
American people, do not get deceived by the media. Just because Hillary Clinton and CNN believe that her nomination is INEVITABLE doesn't mean you have to agree with the pundits.

Toni   March 3rd, 2008 8:35 pm ET

I wish I could say that I still respect Hillary as I did several months ago. After her behavior/tactics/shenanigans of the last several weeks, I have to say that the respect I previously felt for her is gone.

She is not ready to lead - not now, perhaps not ever.

blkjazz   March 3rd, 2008 8:34 pm ET

After what Miss Hillary said today, I think she needs to quit the race for the Demoractic nomination and check with McCain about running as his VP. Since she thinks so highly of McCain she needs to go on over to the Republican side. I lost the little respect I had for her today. Hillary is a horrible person. Simply horrible.

yolandria   March 3rd, 2008 8:34 pm ET

Hillary, sleeping in the White House, making appearances and having the Clinton name does not count as experience.
I hope that people can see through your ploys. Nobody wants another 4 years of an adulterous White House. We all know who will answer the phone at 3 am-Bill!!!!!
I don't care what Obama has or has not done. At least he wasn't impeached!

WV   March 3rd, 2008 8:33 pm ET

just wanted to comment on this energy crisis that we are having. The talk about $4/gallon of gas is in the news, yet we still have NASCAR and other racing in our country. How much fuel does Nascar use in one year including travel to event to event? Next, we have the energy crisis, we as customers should and asked to use energy saving light fixatures, appliances and equipment but the big cities have huge amounts of light displays throughout the cities, such as New York City Time Square. Now with the election, we are considering electing a person with the name Barack Hussein Obama for president. ONLY IN AMERICA! I just don't get it.

Nathan   March 3rd, 2008 8:31 pm ET

Hey Harry...Here in Australia we're dreading an Obama Presidency. After 3 out of the last 4 being rank amateurs, the last thing the world needs is some blow hard who won't actually fix the problems afflicting us. We've had a Bush , a Clinton and a Reagan to show us that a good speech just wastes all of our time.

Myrna   March 3rd, 2008 8:31 pm ET

GETTING WARMED UP ALLRIGHT.... TO CONCEDE TO BARAK OBAMA! THE SOONER THE BETTER! YOU GAVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT, AND YOUR CHEAP UNDERHANDED SHOTS AT OBAMA DID NOT WORK.. YOU HAVE MANAGED TO SET THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT A HUNDRED YEARS... GET OVER YOURSELF, AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND GET OUT OF THE RACE, BEFORE YOU DO MORE DAMAGE... OBAMA O8

JOHN   March 3rd, 2008 8:31 pm ET

HILLARY AND BILL FANS. BILL SAID" IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE BETWEEN A CANIDATE WHO'S TELLING YOU TO FEAR VS A CANIDATE WHO'S TELLING YOU TO HOPE AND THINK, THEN YOU BETTER VOTE FOR THE PERSON TELLING YOU TO HAVE HOPE." THANKS BILL, I'LL VOTE FOR HOPE AND CHANGE. NOT FOR FEARING A PHONE CALL AT 3AM.

Nathan   March 3rd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

Finally the press is starting to ask the hard questions about Obama. Clinton definately has the momentum heading into these primaries. Should she win 3 out of 4 she should demand the Florida and Michigan delegates be seated and then Hillary would be leading the delegate total.

William   March 3rd, 2008 8:26 pm ET

I wonder which Hillary is the real Hillary. There are just so dang many of them.

Latina for Obama   March 3rd, 2008 8:25 pm ET

well I guess what she meant by saying "I am just warming up," she meant now that my friend aka enemy Rush and Ann Coulter both endorse me............ she has won she won she won
she has manage to divide the party, to gain support from the Republicans, the most despicable racist and the worst in our country.
Why do they support Hillary?
simple, like minds are alike............. so will it be:

HIllary & Rush L in the ticket? mm may be the way things are going and the way she is manipulating and lying and the way she and Bill get away with everything in this country _ I would say everything is possible.

PS also Rush has a secret crush on Hillary
PS also Ann C has a secret crush on Billary (that is the two of them)mmm

Peg from Ohio   March 3rd, 2008 8:25 pm ET

I don't trust either of the Clintons. Ohio can't take another NAFTA decision from a Clinton. I don't think the countries of the world will have any respect for her.

A. Harrison, Atlanta Georgia   March 3rd, 2008 8:21 pm ET

GO HILLARY GO, GO HILLARY GO, all the way to the WHITE HOUSE!

Lynne   March 3rd, 2008 8:17 pm ET

Just warming up getting down and dirty. By leaking stories and pictures of Obama to stir up fear from the weak minded and the hatred of the ignorant bigots and to tell outright lies that you know are not true, shows what kind of candidate you really are. The few days before the election of Texas and Ohio they conveniently surface again, with a vengence and you claim to have nothing to do with it. give us a break and "Shame on You." If you somehow pull out a miracle and win the nomination, don't count on my vote or many others that just can't stomach you. Also, shame on you CNN and MSNBC for all blatently slanting your programs toward Hillary. We know that you are all Republicans, but when covering the Democrats, it is apparent that you would rather see Clinton than Obama.

Dale   March 3rd, 2008 8:16 pm ET

It is time for the media to bring some dirt out on Obama! Hillary is the person for the nomination. Go Hillary you are doing great. Hillary will be there at 3 a.m. to take the phone call and she will do what has to be done.

Jose Card - Independent   March 3rd, 2008 8:14 pm ET

Clinton said, “let me say this — until you’re the president there is no comparison but I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions.”

It's expected of me to provide verifiable documentation when I apply for a job. Where is the proof for her claim?
She attacked Obama's all talk about hope.
She is all talk about her qualification.
This explains why her campaign is such a mess.
I have looked hard for a single Hillary yard sign in my town.
I see Obama here and there and I am not making it up.

We think it's over and she said she is just warming up.
This one is going to be good.

B. Smart   March 3rd, 2008 8:10 pm ET

Time to switch to Msnbc, and Cspan. CNN has put its bias face on
again.

Last I checked....(the majority of the time) when someone becomes president..it's the first time they've ever held that position. Enough of the experience arguments already..........

Hillary For Ohio NOT Obama!   March 3rd, 2008 8:09 pm ET

Hillary is way up in the Polls!!!! Obama has't a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ray   March 3rd, 2008 8:08 pm ET

More and more each day, it seems as though she will do whatever it takes to steal this nomination.

karen   March 3rd, 2008 8:07 pm ET

Hillary is dividing the democratic party. And calling Obama voters delusional. there is no NAFTA contraversy. She is racist like Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh and David Duke.

Case   March 3rd, 2008 8:06 pm ET

A friend of a friend of a friend told me this about this aide.

This was dropped by a conservative Cannuck, to keep the Democrats fighting.

Hillary Clinton can not pull independent or disenfrancshised Republican votes. She will single handely give the election to McCain.

Obama will blow her out in Texas. She is a golden spoon elitist, he is the son of an imigriant.

I will not vote for her.

Indpendent for OBAMA

David   March 3rd, 2008 8:06 pm ET

Hillary Clinton told reporters Monday she is “just getting warmed up”

At this rate, she'll be ready to lead day one in 2012.

GO HOME!!! Your dirty politics is sickening!

All Smart People VOTE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

OBAMA 2008!!!!!

andrea benini   March 3rd, 2008 8:05 pm ET

I EXPECT HILLARY TO DELIVER THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH. GO HILLARY !!

Elaine   March 3rd, 2008 8:04 pm ET

The Democrats are having an historical race, and a lot of people feel strongly about the message of the candidate they support.

Both Clinton's and Obama's campaigns have included negative and positive messages.

During one of the closest races in history, if the media pressures one candidate over the other to get out– we should question this.

With so many important issues at stake, we need to know that the best qualified candidate gets the job. Clinton is not perfect, but Obama is not teflon.. and he is not experienced (Let's hear his stance on foreign policy again.. and then read the article on CNN about the leader of Iran's sentiment toward Americans. Not sure about you, but I'm not exactly comfortable with this..)

We have already survived eight years of inexperience in the White House and we feel the impact (inflation, recession, the dollar is dropping so fast I felt a breeze, rising gas prices, foreclosures...these are real issues!). Two are qualified. One will win.

Hillary for President

HGM   March 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

I am life long Democrat and yes and an Obama supporter but after her enorsement of McCain today and her ugly tactics she is using I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!! I would rather have GW for four more years than this disaster. She is NO DIFFERENT than McCain so no sweat of my back to let her lose. I'm officially starting the "Let Hillary Lose Campaign" amoung Democrats. She doesn't deserve our support and she will never have it!

Pat M Canada   March 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Being married to a President does not make one qualified to be President someone commented here.

Well talking to a President daily, discussing issues facing a President together daily, seeing the daily operations of the President and President's office up front, close and personal, IS ONE FAR CRY FROM THE EXPERIENCE OBAMA has regarding Leadership!!!!!!

Obama has six years in politics total! Hillary has had thirty-five ! And during those thirty-five she was involved in helping underprivilidged children, fighting for Universal Health Care, Fighting for Veterans Rights, Fighting for Women's Rights, Fighting for Senior's Rights, Fighting for Your Rights while working as a Lawyer, while First Lady, and while Senator!

YET OBAMA couldn't find the time to call a meeting for the important Committe he Chaired because of his Presidential Campaign !

Take Off The Blinders before it's Too Late ! You are going to loose your Nation because your too blind and too stubborn to see!!!

Pray Lord Give Them Sight !

Hollowdweller   March 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Hillary didn't look close enough at the intelligence to know the case for the Iraq war was BS and voted for it.

She didn't look after her husband well enough to know he was fooling around.

I don't trust her ability not to continue the trend as president.

Tired of Clinton's tactics   March 3rd, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Hillary continues to attack Obama on the same things she is weakest at. What experience does she have? Being married to a former president doesn't count.
It is ironic that her own husband was elected at 46, same age as Obama, with about the similar "lack" of experience. When the shoe is on the other foot, I guess it is different.
Come on Hillary...stop the ridiculous ads and fear tactics...you look desperate!
Go Obama!

A. Harrison, Atlanta Georgia   March 3rd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Why would anyone vote for someone with LESS EXPERIENCE when it comes to the job of PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES???

Stephen   March 3rd, 2008 7:57 pm ET

I like the people on these posts that say that for the good of democracy, Hillary has to step down, because that is exactly what is good for democracy, having one choice. Americans want democracy Cuban style.

Bea from Hoboken,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Senator Obama was in grade school, wasn't Hillary the President of the Young Republicans at her college? Believe me, she has not been fully "vetted" yet.

Jacque Bauer   March 3rd, 2008 7:54 pm ET

victor/ california   March 3rd, 2008 7:54 pm ET

way to split the democratic party sen. clinton!
making fun of sen. obama supporter isnt the best idea... considering you need all the vote you can get if your the nominee. if u happen to lose one state tomorrow and still continue on. it just validates how power hungry you are. you speak like a republican and your ad's look like they were taken right out of the republican handbook. as a long time supporter of you and your husband i am now ashamed of the clinton name and will never...ever...ever vote for a clinton again.

Goldy Lyons   March 3rd, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Obama cannot make a good decision....Look at his CORRUPT friend that was just indicted...Show me your company and I'll tell you what you are!!! How true that adage is!!!
Good Luck, God Bless...I believe in Angels and I know God's Angels are out there working for you Senator Clinton and they always come thru.
Senator Clinton has done so much for the young girls and women all over...what's the matter with you American women.....Vote for Hillary!!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!
None of the Media picked up on Obama's wide mouth smirk when Obama said he rejected Farrahkam. Now, Farrahkam's grinning & Al Sharpton too!! MEN OF AMERICA VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!

maggier   March 3rd, 2008 7:49 pm ET

I was a strong admirier and supporter of the Clintons (both the president and senator) ....until Hillary Clinton threw her hat into the ring. In my opinion, her doing so has been the height of arrogance and selfishness.
Our Constitution limits presidential terms to eight years. The Clintons (a team with the much touted éxperience) have already had their eight years in the White House and merely switching roles titles is a distasteful (if not unconstitutional?) way to get back in the White House for another stint. .
The USA is not a dynastic nation. I personally have had enough of families who feel that the mantle of leadership is reserved for their gene pools only.
Sen Clinton's ambition is a disservice to the Democratic party and to our country, in my opinion.

Sharon   March 3rd, 2008 7:49 pm ET

"She's just getting warmed up" *Big Smile* Take him out Hillary!

CA boomer for CHANGE   March 3rd, 2008 7:36 pm ET

More inuendos, statements taken out of context from third and fourth parties........ Geez.... is that all they got???? The Clintons have been digging and digging for something to throw at Barack Obama, and so now at the 11th hour, when she feels the most pressure, instead of discussing what is important to the voters, she is concentrating on tearing down her opponent. Is it any wonder why more and more women are walking away from her. We hold a higher standard for ourselves than this ....

Goodheart   March 3rd, 2008 7:36 pm ET

Hillary is running against the cable TV networks, Obama, and women haters. Go Hillary... don't give up.

Col. Nathan Jessep   March 3rd, 2008 7:34 pm ET

What's this? Hillary won the "big, Democratic states" while Obama won the "small, always-go-to-the-Republican states"?

See, they're called "Democratic states" because they will consistently vote for the Democratic nominee, regardless of who the nominee is. It's not that a state that Hillary wins in the primary can't vote for Obama, it's that a few more people wanted Hillary than Obama at that point in time. They'll still vote for whichever Democrat wins come November, and anybody who thinks that all of Hillary's voters won't show for Obama is as delusional as she is.

Whereas Obama, by getting Democrats excited in closely contested Dem/Rep states, increases the chances that the Democrats carry those states this year. So...he'll still win...even if the three of you who say you'll vote McCain sink the Democratic party with your idiotic spite.

slim   March 3rd, 2008 7:22 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!! i'm so sick of the media and obamafans telling her to drop out "for the sake of the party" and obama saying just a couple of weeks ago that she should quit. do oyu think that obama would ahve quit?

hillary's not a quitter and (unlike obama) she's used to people criticizing her and knows to ignore them and listen to herself. how come no one's calling for huckabee to quit when he doesn't have anything near a chance? if he can stay in to give voters a choice, then so should she.

t   March 3rd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

harry K,
yea dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. HOw about the Peter Paul lawsuit against the clintons. There is actually proof she commited federal campaign fraud. Obama made an a bad politics move, he didnt break the law.

ChicoSez   March 3rd, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Its hard to take a posting that ends with "Obama rules' in caps seriously. How juvenile can you get. And yes, you go to the doctors wife because she also is a doctor,and probably a better one than her husband. She also was a community organizer and while in Arkansa, worked closely with the state legislature on education, chilrens issues and health care to name just a few. And to minimize her experience as a do nothing first lady at the same time you criticize her for how her health care initiative failed is talking out of both sides of your mouth. But Obama supporters don't have to be logical, they're part of a movement. Most movements used to have a goal, like the anti-war movemnet, or the civil rights movement, or save the whales. But Obama only preaches change without telling us where he wants to take us, other than heavan on earth.

jr.   March 3rd, 2008 7:17 pm ET

Latinos you'll young ones don't know what happens at work . Mr. Obama made promisis but let me tell you, I'm liven her in the U.S.A. the best Nation in the World but the promisis his making it's not going to happen, ask your folkes an see if all people think like him.Vote for Hillary take it from some one who lived her for over fuorty years an know what I'm talking about .All candedates promis you the world but it will never happend.This is a recomadaition from a friend.

Ozz   March 3rd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

I'm not in politics and I know that if the fire alarm go off in my APT.,The first thing I will be doing, is running to the outside to see what is taking place.

You don't have to be an expert to answer the phone. Kniowing why a specific phone ring when it should not be ringing, the first thing come to your mind is, something must be wrong and that put your mind on AUTO ALERT right there. Would Clinton go to the American people first to tell them the seriousness of what is taking place? Or would she drop the BAM, BAM, BAM BAM first and then informed the American people?

LA, CA....

Jenny, Rio Vista, CA   March 3rd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

That's right Hilary...do what you have to do to get what YOU want. But guess what? The superdelegates will NOT vote for you. You will be abandoned and you will be finished. And I will laugh my head off. You are a disgrace to the democratic party.

VOTER FOR TRUTH, DIGNITY   March 3rd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

GET THE BLANKETS AND GO HOME HILLARY.

WARMED UP FOR MORE ATTACK. DIDN'T YOU HAVE
SOME VERY BAD LAND SCAM DEALS IN ARKANSAS???
WAS IT THAT YOU SCAMMED PEOPLE AND LEFT TOWN?

TALK ABOUT A BAD REPUTATION

LET'S ALL READ UP ON HILLARY'S PAST BEFORE
THE PRESIDENCY OF BILL.

WHAT YOU ARE TRUDGING UP ABOUT OBAMA, MAY

IN SOUTH CAROLINA SEN OBAMA MADE IT SOUND LIKE HE HARDLY KNEW REZKO, NOW WE FIND OUT THEY'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR 18 YEARS. AND THAT HE'S HELPED REZKO OBTAIN MILLIONS IN TAX PAYER MONEY, LETS CALL THIS MISLEADING AT BEST. NANANANAH HEY HEY HEY

John   March 3rd, 2008 7:08 pm ET

She is the RIGHT and BEST choice for America. Obama won't always have his kids with him to tell him what to do.

Daniel White   March 3rd, 2008 7:07 pm ET

The comment about knowing where Your husband is.. That's the same kind of mentality that that put our current president in office twice..You should be ashamed, but then, we don't see shame from that side do we?

juan Dominguez from Texas   March 3rd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

ARE YOU KIDDING??? AT THE END?? BE HONEST HILLARY

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM HER??

Get what she wants and then throw us to the side. We are smarter then that. We need to stick together and vote Obama.

azdem   March 3rd, 2008 7:03 pm ET

She is so done. I just can't respect her any more. If she's so smart why would she stay with a man who globally humiliated her?? Seems to me there must have been some kind of deal made and their marriage turned into a business arrangement so she could further her political aspirations and save his butt. But hey that's just my opinion....... She looks ridiculous with that finger pointing thing and the bobble head thing. She doesn't look or sound tough or experienced just petulant and whiny. Come on Ohio and Texas, give her a strong dose of reality tomorrow and end this madness!!!!

Obama 08

david graham   March 3rd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Hillary:
Keep pushing through the "Old Boy's Club"... Even the tight one found on CNN. I have been a supporter of CNN for years. But now, I'm done! No longer have I been convinced that CNN is fair and balanced. I still and will always beleive in you and your ability to run this country. And yes you're right. Obama has a speech that he's taughting as experience...

Tre   March 3rd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is a such a clown. Obama has been serving up some steaming hot arse whoopings and she claims she is just getting warmed up? She is delusional.

Joan   March 3rd, 2008 7:01 pm ET

PLEASE, PLEASE ELECT HILLARY....OBAMA WILL DISAPPOINT US!!!

CC   March 3rd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

The Clinton campaign has succeeded in only one major effort; to get the media to help her attack Obama. Since the Saturday Night Live skit, the media has bent over backwards to ensure that it was not favoring Obama. This includes using headlines that imply that both Clinton and Obama are attacking each other. Before that, the media was much more likely to simply lay out the facts. From these facts the American people came to realize that Clinton is the attacker, the win at all costs politician, the self-involved divisive hack, unconcerned about the welfare of America. This campaign is not a test of Barack Obama, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul or any of the other candidates. This election cycle is a test of the American people. Are we tired of the direction we've been led in for years, or are we going to tolerate a deteriorating national existence (with a few ill managed crises thrown in)? The media is now contributing to the latter by allowing themselves to be easily manipulated. Tell the truth media types: is the nastiness truly coming from both sides, or are Hillary and Bill Clinton and their minions responsible for all of it?

Leslie Somerville, Seattle, Washington   March 3rd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

YOU GO MRS. PRESIDENT-GET STOKED UP HILLARY. YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE A 3 STATE WINNER TOMORROW. Sorry about Vermont-they have been played for fools and bamboozled by Barack. You stay positive and tell your aides to maybe put on a happy face too. You are great, but your campaign sucks big ones!!

applecrispbetty   March 3rd, 2008 6:59 pm ET

What has McCain promised you to keep up your hopeless candidacy in an attempt to make the eventual Democratic nominee look weaker?

Robert   March 3rd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

My whole family including kids, wife, parents, brothers, sisters, all voted for Hillary for March 4 Primarty in Texas. She is the best qualified of the two candidates. The only experience that Obama has is on giving good speaches some of the times. He may fool some people some of the times but he will not fool all of the people all of the times.

Go Hillary Go

Hillary 2008

Wayne - Texas   March 3rd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

It is time for Clinton, and the Billary Supporters, to realize that this bickering smear campaign is not going to slow down the Obama Express. Obama will win Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island, and even if she takes Ohio it will be by a slim margin and not enough to overcome the gap. She should bow out gracefully and save some face if she plans to salvage her career, and get onboard the Obama train because it is headed to the White House.............. with or without her!!!

Hillary McCain   March 3rd, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Hillary is the first women to ….

It does help when your husband has done all the hard work for you.

Hillary is the wrong woman to be praising for the advancement of women in a man's world.

Christie   March 3rd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Given that Obama lacks experience (including some that he could have gained by actually doing his job as chair of that sub-committee) and knowledge (i.e., yes, Canada has a prime minister, Obama, not a "president," per your last debate), he just lost his only "value-added"–judgment. He lacked the judgment to avoid buying a "discount" house from a less than ethical person and allowing a senior staff member to speak loosely with representatives from another government–especially in a way that clashes with his public statements on the matter. He keeps touting that an Obama administration wouldn't be "business as usual" in Washington... hmmmm... doesn't sound like a change to me, certainly not one that I can really believe in!

souza   March 3rd, 2008 6:53 pm ET

When I go to the Dr. I want someone with experience. A person that has actually worked in the medical profession for more than 2 years as a junior Physician.
8 years experience and a gives a person a pretty good handle on a job.
Why didn't they ask Obama to quit when he was behind. Please the Race is not over til to total of 2025 have been counted.

I'd like to know where you got your numbers on how many bills each one has sponsored cause neither one of them are correct. Not even close.

K Fergus   March 3rd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Don't give up the fight girl!! We are counting on you. It is time to let a woman take charge. After all, the men have had their chance to rule "wisely" for hundreds of years and they have made a mess of it. If you want something done well, then you give it to a woman. That's a fact!!

Keep up the good fight! Hillary in 2008!!

Hillary McCain   March 3rd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Unlike Hillary and Bill, there are no big *scandal* about Obama that is going to explode. Hillary and Bill have a long list of scandals.

The reason nobody has gone after Obama about Rezko is because one, Obama did not do anything illegal, but two, more importantly, a lot of politician have ties to Rezko, including the Clinton's and their buddies.

One thing is for sure, the Clintons and their Chinese connections are real.

Hope In Action   March 3rd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Interesting how every time it looks like she is going to lose, they change the rules. What happened to the firewall? What happened to having to win both Texas and Ohio? Now all of a sudden they are trying to say Obama has to win all four states? She is going to cling to this until she chokes all the life out of the Democratic Party.

SP   March 3rd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I'm sure everyone on this blog has answered today's poll question. Once again Obama wins. Don't worry Hillrary, maybe he'll pick you to be his VP

jr.   March 3rd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

In our history books at the library ,fifty year from now it will tell us that Hillary started the war acording to Mr.Obama. He mention it so many times ,but the truth will prebaile it was our president who started, and Hillary was just a senetor.That was mislead like all of us.

davey not still in the Navy   March 3rd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Hillary would be the downfall of our country as would Barack. Hard to believe so many blind wishful fools in the U. S.

Texas   March 3rd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Well a lot us saw the writing on the wall regarding Obama – But how sweet it is that the writing is now on a memo to the Canadians regarding NAFTA meeting. Which Obama said did not take place and come to find it did take place but that the context of the memo was taken out of place.

And where was his judgement when it came to Rezko? And is this all he has judgement on Iraq – he had no responsibility. However he does have responsiblity to chair a committee which has not had any meetings cause he's too busy with campaign? Is this going to be his line if he becomes CNC.

I am watching CNN right know and it's one thing the Obama campaign is down playing all this but it pissed me off that CNN is also down playing the "funny little land deal" and everyone is tried of Hillary.

They are all chuckling over how bad she is... wow. After many people appear and speak on behalf of Hillary – they have no respect for her.

This is why she comes back fighting harder....

Carl   March 3rd, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Strong character and unafraid are two attributes that Hillary has and that is why I continue to back her. Stay true to yourself and to the Democratic Party's values and you can't go wrong.

J   March 3rd, 2008 6:42 pm ET

the race is almost over and she's just getting warmed up? she was supposed to win a month ago so she's not getting warmed up, she's cooked. it's over. call it what it is and let obama start running the real race against mccain.

Barry IL   March 3rd, 2008 6:42 pm ET

What represents Senator Clinton is that "she is fighter". She fights everything under the Sun that she may think stand against her ambition. Don't utter the words like "unifier, change" in line with her name.

Bill   March 3rd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Obama claims Clinton has bad judgement..

Where was his judgement with Rezko..Rezko was well known for his dealings in Chicago...Obama lacked the judgement to distant himself? Just saying its a "bone-headed mistake" doesn't cut it when you are President. I think voters should question his judgement on dealings with this man before it cost democrats the general election come fall.

Fran   March 3rd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Hillary you hang in there please!! We love you and want to encourage you because you are truly the one to do the job and get things done! The other party knows that too!! Please stay in there and don't give into the media and others who tell you to quit or drop out!! Please stay in there gal!! The convention coming up should be able to help things out too!! After all that is when the Democrats come together anyway!! Go Hillary Go!!!!

Gabriel   March 3rd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

OMG, she really isn't listenng to reason.

If she doesn't win by 15% – 20% in all three states – OHIO, TEXAS, AND PENNSYLVANIA – , there is no way she wins the nomination. Even of she wins the states, she won't win the nomination.

And she won't win in North Carolina or Mississippi – those states are not strong in her preffered demographics (low income whites, Latinos, and voters who can't bring themselves to vote for a black candidate).

Oh well. GO (home) HILLARY! GO! Please. Just go.

aware   March 3rd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Hillary the HOPE of 08! She is the Smart Choice! :)

Vig   March 3rd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Bayou Joe   March 3rd, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Hillary you are a fighter not a divider. Shame on CNN and the Obama people for slamming you for what your husband has done.
The best man for President is a WOMAN. GO Hillary keep up the good fight.

ww-New York   March 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

I think Hillary has it in her mind, if she don't win she will "destroy" the party!

bond   March 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Further proof that this election is all about her. Its obvious she cares nothing about the strength of her party or the future of Americans who don't want to see another Repblican continue to screw up the country.

Texans for Obama

Phil, Colorado   March 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Clinton is "just getting warmed up?" That's a funny thing to say after 11 straight losses. I thought she was supposed to be "ready on day one"...

John Clinton   March 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Hillary is the first women to ....

It does help when your husband has done all the hard work for you.

Hillary is the wrong woman to be praising for the advancement of women in a man's world.

Think before you vote   March 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Of course, the Obama camp must be wondering why ALL the negative stuff about Obama not come later when the nomination has been clinched. If he is the intelligent person you think he is, then he should realize that ALL DIRT will be uncovered SOONER or later
If Hillary does not stumble into things like this, then, you can count on McCain digging even deeper, and finding out SO MUCH UNBELIEVABLY MORE to tell us about. It is tough to be in the public eye, since ALL CLOSETS WILL BE open. If Obama wanted to have closed closets, then you should not have run for office.
Senator Clinton has already undergone that painful process. And , not only did she survive but actually thrived to the dismay of many who think a woman should not be involved in historically male dominated affairs. Clearly, Senator Clinton deserves to be the NEXT president of the United States.

Mary   March 3rd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

I am glad that Hillary is in and I hope she stays in. Rezko and the Canadians. WHat the Clinton suppoters have said all along, TOO much unknown to take a chance on Obama.

Did you ever see an Obama go this way and that way, and this way and that way?

Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont get the vote out for Hillary.

Sue Butterfield   March 3rd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Hillary you are the real rock star . Keep fighting . The media have tried to stomp you out . stay in . America needs you . You will fight for all Americans not just the favored few . I will never vote for Obama . Keep fighting . If Obama gets the nomanation , I and many others will vote Mccain . Please keep fighting . We love you .A strong woman with heart .

Leslie   March 3rd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Hillary said today that she and McCain are experienced enough but Obama isn't – SINCE WHEN DOES A DEMOCRAT SUPPORT A REPUBLICAN OVER HER OWN PARTY!!!

She is so negative. I was liking her before, but not any more. She is just willing to disrespect her own party to win.

WIN FAIR AND SQUARE – don't play dirty!!

Dave   March 3rd, 2008 6:35 pm ET

The fact is that Obama carried those small states that do not matter in a general election. He wins 11 states in a low and only up by 100 delgates. She could overtake him by winning Ohio and Pennsylvania coupled with superdelegates. I don't understand why Obama people telling Hillary to drop out. I imagine his weakness will be continuously exposed if Hillary stayed. That's ok. We would be better off picking a solid and strong president than picking a president with a lot of hidden agenda. When I think of Obama, first thing comes to mind is who is he and what has he done. I can't come up with anything other than he stood on the state senate floor where his voice didn't count and claimed against the Iraq war. Since coming into the national stage, he has continously voted just like Hillary. If he is so adament that he was right, why vote for all those fundings? This man is a double talker and clearly shows on the fiasco on the NAFTA case with Canada. Plus didn't he say he would unilaterly bomb Pakistan if he knows Osama is hiding there in the mountain. Well, we know he is so are we going to see the same thing from him that we saw from Bush. I can't trust this guy and what little I know is not enough to vote for him. We know Clintons and thier agenda and Clinton proved to be a great president which no democrat could deny that fact. I like Hillary and her stand in this tough time. That, I think far more presidential than some of the speaches I hear from Obama. You want to be uplifted, go to church.

K.Celina from IL!!!!   March 3rd, 2008 6:35 pm ET

POOR and naive Obama's supporters !!!!!!!
How Obama could handle the very responsible job ??????
He wasn't able to handle well his start as a young politician !!!!!! here in Chicago, IL (link to Rezko), who know what els !!!!!! BAD START !!!!!
NO !!!! TO !!!!! OBAMA !!!!!!!

HILLARY IS THE BEST CANDIDATE !!!!!!!!!!

Jenny MA   March 3rd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Who has right to call his opponent to drop out???? Who? How dare Obama call like this? If OBAMA is so confident in this race, he should say:" meet me in OH and TX." But how could you just ask Hillary to drop out?

Come on, Obama, Do not fear to fight! You know you will be uncovered more and more dirty stuff????? You know people will wake up to choose Hillary!

We will fight to the end..

Hillary 2008!

you americans are so naive. i read that your knight in shining armour obama said something about cleaning up your washington from what ? the big corporation and lobbyist . who is he talking to ? oh yeah i forgot he's talking to his own countrymen , who also think that they can make the world a safer place to live. check your wallet first oba and see if there's no big corporation money hiding somewhere in there.

California Voter   March 3rd, 2008 6:33 pm ET

People that believe Hillary should give up after 11 caucus state losses need to take a closer look at electability for a democratic candidate. Winning caucuses in republican states buys democrats nothing in the general election. As I recall the votes in the general election are winner take all - very different from this part primary, part caucus apportioned delegates that the democrats are going through right now.

deb in az   March 3rd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

really folks i dont think sen clinton has run a dirty race.......... i mean sen obama wasnt in the senate to vote whether or not we should go in to iraq. i guess if you arent there you can say you would have voted no.......what a great way to say you never voted for the war.......i myself thought it was a bad idea....... but i cant vote in the senate...........i really think president bush would have done it regardless..........obama voters you want change and yes we can........change is what you'll get............your income taxes are going to be out of control........thngs wont be better they will get worse..............read this mans tax plan..........more jobs will leave the country..........do the math

rose   March 3rd, 2008 6:31 pm ET

clinton needs to go you all said we need a fighter will she not one look what she did about her husband so what will she do to us she not a women not at all she is all bull an she cant control her husband with women how in the world she control this country an she said we need to clean up the bush what she do she couldnt clean her husband up who will trust her i couldn t she all talk rose

Hillary, keep him honest. NAFTA, Canadian back room talks, couldn't ask for a better time for this to come out. I didn't think CNN would ever get with the story. I thought they like being the first to report news. I guess the exception is of an Obama bomb shell.

Hillary Do not look to the OBAMA crows that say "you must quit!! Even if you did not win everething tomorow I believe that a huge scandal will esplode about him and we all would get the REAL OBAMA.

I have no proof and I know nothing about the man .but I feel in my soul

This much I know: if Mr. Obama is the Democratic nominee, with the exception of NY, CA, OR, WA and a couple of other states, the entire country will be painted RED and McCain will win by default. I, for one, am tired of the Iraq war and other lies.

MJ   March 3rd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

I AM DONE!! I cannot take another vile, hateful anti-Clinton post. IF Hillary is NOT the nominee..I will write-in her name. IF our ballot this year has no provision for that...I may just NOT vote for a presidential candidate,or maybe I will throw my vote away and vote for Nader.

Gil - California   March 3rd, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Just getting warmed up....is your goal 15 losses in a row? Better stretch before the run tomorrow then.

Cathy, MA   March 3rd, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Some news station was talking about the two David's in Obama's campaign and said, "Who are those guys". LOL

They said they got the idea to focus on the young people, and a generational change, from Barack's trip to Africa. There were so many people who were interested in hearing him speak.

Derrick, WA   March 3rd, 2008 6:23 pm ET

She is just getting warmed up? yeah, warmed up to lose on Tuesday, that's what she's getting warmed up for. Because the national Electorate is about to turn a cold shoulder to her in tomorrow's Primary's. So long Clinton.......its time for Obama to take charge and lead this country into the future. I support him and I know without a doubt he will win tomorrow's Primary's sending the Clinton campaign packing and headed home.

Bayou Joe   March 3rd, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Go Hillary. Show this upstart the door. This is your Party and he is not welcome. Don't let up now and don't quit after Texas and Ohio.
You need to continue for the sake of the Party. In a way I wish you would quit just so Obama can lose to McCain, but I know you will win.

Sylvia   March 3rd, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Hillary Clinton responds "I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions." I think that includes voting for the war in Iraq. Do we trust her? I think not. GO OBAMA!

Why can't her campaign run on her actual experience and judgement?? Instead, they run a smear campaign against her rival Sen. Obama. It looks dirty and desperate to most educated people.

Obama is not the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Get your facts straight. He is the chair of the Senate Oversite Subcommittee of same. Which like being the captain of the third string football team during the off-season. And it is the off-season in Washington right now. Nothing is getting done anywhere. About half of them are out campaigning, either for themselves, or for someone else. Take a look at CSPAN. The chambers during the work day are empty.

Hillary is relying on your ignorance of how the system really operates in Washington to get you to buy her retoric. And it's working. The real question should be what has she done on the two big Senate commitees that she is apart of. According to the two chairs (both of whom have endorsed Obama, BTW) of those committee's she's done absolutely nothing. She has never cast a single vote of any consequence on anything of any importance.

Hillary all the way.....................08..............................

Stay until Denver.........................................................

Taj   March 3rd, 2008 6:18 pm ET

According to recent statistics, Hillary is doing better among Democrats than Obama, a good portion of whose support comes from Republicans and independents.

If you think Hillary is polarizing and divisive, let me remind you: In the three years that Obama has been in the Senate, Hillary has sponsored 53 bills that have attracted Republican co-sponsors while Obama has only had 24 bills that have attracted Republican co-sponsors.

Charlotte   March 3rd, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Robert, you must not know where you significant other is. Same post over and over.

John   March 3rd, 2008 6:16 pm ET

Hillary its over. Don't divide the Democratic party. You are way behind in the delegate count and the remaining states after Ohio and Texas favour Obama....Wake up and smell the coffee..............

CLINTON: "I'M JUST GETTING WARMED UP"

And for that very statement is the reason you are playing catch-up now. You see we (Obama 08' supporters) have been involved for the last 14+ some months.

Unfortunately, you thought if would be a done deal.

Good bye Hillary....try again in 2012. (really... please don't though)

zo   March 3rd, 2008 6:15 pm ET

When Sillary opens her mouth, all I hear is I am woman, hear me roar. What a joke.

mike   March 3rd, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Please stop this nonsense infight. This is no good for the party in the general election. Even you won, I would not come out to vote for you. Because you have been damaging yourself by initialing negative camp.

cathy   March 3rd, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I know CNN will not print this one but
Who didn't see this coming? Clinton's word is worthless.

Sherylanne   March 3rd, 2008 6:14 pm ET

It's about time Hillary! So glad the true Obama is getting out.

steve   March 3rd, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I can and will support either Hillary or Barrack. Unless you want another 4 years of George Bush a la John McCain I hope all you sour Democrats will unite behind the eventual Democratic nominee and not hand the election to McCain

cathy   March 3rd, 2008 6:12 pm ET

RUSH GIVE ME THE KING OF "RUSH" ONE GETS WHEN THEY HAVE TO THROW UP AND DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE BATHROOM. HE IS GROSS AND PATHETIC, ARROGANT AND ABRASIVE. HE OBVIOUSLY NEEDS REHAB TO BECOME MORE OF A HUMAN BEING.

Canadian Neighbour   March 3rd, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Warmed-up ?????? Hillary, you must be joking ! You are as cold as 'ice'. You are hell-bent on destroying the Domocratic Party at all cost if you are not the nominee.....and that is so sad. However, please note that if you become the nominee, the Republican Party will definately win, because all the new and young voters that Obama has inspired and has managed to pull out.....will definately draw away from you. You will 'NEVER' get those support. Not to mention the independent voters that Obama does so well with. Hillary, face the harsh reality, after 11 losses, it is very clear that you are being rejected !

Erik   March 3rd, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Looks like Clinton campaign hired people to troll this board to post "Go Hillary" messages. I am reading these comments for a while now and every story has bunch of "Go Hillary" comments. I could actually see the pattern and point out the posts as well. Most of these comments are written under women's names as well. Hmmm Interesting.

Go Hillary. All soap operas aside this country was better off with a Clinton White House. Out of 300 million people in America this is all we have to choose from. WE have 5 canidates left. And like it or not she is more qualified.

Taj   March 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

I think Hillary is going to win three of the four states tomorrow: Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. No one really doubts Ohio and Rhode Island, but I think Texas is going to be like New Hampshire and California, where Hillary was either behind or tied in the polls but managed to pull a convincing win once the people voted.

Hillary '08!!!

Kat, Huntington, West Virginia   March 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Get warmed up Hillary and we will provide the heat to bring this home!! Millions of dedicated voters are behind you and will do what you ask us to help get you elected. We belife in solutions and answers rather than false hope and speeches!! Go Hillary-this anin't over yet!!!!!
Hillary08!

rusty   March 3rd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

I guess in the mind of Clinton, we have now reached the "significant state phase" of this primary season. If she loses now, does that mean she will actually have the courtesy to congratulate Obama ? And then, perhaps, release her tax statement? And then, hopefully, drop out??? I hope Ohio and Texas do us all a favor and send the Clinton's home on March 4th, to New York.

Michael   March 3rd, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Take him down to size. Arrogance is not a virtue. We need a fighter in the White House. Too many lazy folks out there looking for handouts. Hard work and know-how will get the job done. Action speaks louder than words, or sneaky meetings.

Solutions we can believe in – Hillary for President!

So Nobama to the snakeoil salesman.

jim wash   March 3rd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

I think the problem with Hillary is most people I know don't want you to call them by there middle name. She does not use here last name, could thiis be because of Mr. Bill Clinton and all that experience he has in the Oval office.

carrie   March 3rd, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Hillary needs to bow out if she does not have the most delegates.
If she continues this dog fight it will seperate the party. I am a democrat who voted for Bill Clinton twice. If they manage to steal this nomination I and many more african-americans like me will not vote for her. I will set out this election as many more people will.

Matt   March 3rd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Hi , I'm from Belgium,
People of America, please don't be blinded by the populist tone of Obama's speeches. If you really think further than his simple words, if you really open your eyes and see how Obama plays with you people than you will understand and fully realise HILLARY CLINTON is the only real, expercienced and most qualified candidate for the job! She has the ability to really help the american economy, and most important to REALLY BRING CHANGE in America. Obama may say it but only CLINTON can really do it and will stick to her promise. Becaus think about it, she's been fighting for you people for all those years! She is really honest and she deserves to be the nominee and to be the next president of the USA! and so does Belgium, the whole of Europe and the rest of the world thinks!
GOOD LUCK HILLARY! SWEEP OBAMA'S DECEIVING WORDS OF THE TABLE AND SHOW THE PEOPLE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN REALLY BRING SOLUTIONS AND PUT WORDS INTO ACTIONS!!!

nora   March 3rd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Finally the media is finding out that Obama has some areas that need to be answered. I hope the campaign continues on after tomorrow Hillary WILL turn our country around not Obama.In Obamas own words Maybe Hiding The Ball " will not be accepted by"all" nora

abbey   March 3rd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Hillary is the die hard candidate, after 11 losses I'm 'just getting warmed up, because the press are till in her side that is why she is warming up e.g the CNN Politics.com have both Clinton and MacCain without OBAMA that is bias.

DeVone   March 3rd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

on thing about Hillary her answers to questions are not answers
they are bs. when asked what makes her ready to anawer the
3am call she say untill your president there is no comparisom
then she babbles on about lifes experance, she has never been
president, she has never said what 3am call she receaved to
make her ready Hillary is Bull. she is just getting started , on
what? where's the bull ?

Shayne   March 3rd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Obama has run such a deceptively negative campaign. Just because you engage in petty politics and political posturing but hang up big signs that say "HOPE" and "CHANGE", that doesn't change the reality of your dirty campaigning. How about you print up some more deceptive mailers to send to voters in Ohio? Or you could LIE in more debates about having disclosed your earmarks. Or you could tell Canada one thing, and tell Ohio voters another about NAFTA. While you're at it, buy a house in Chicago for $300,000 below market price from a future convict AND go work for a slumlord.

Obama is WORSE than the politics of old It's time for REAL CHANGE and REAL SOLUTIONS- Hillary '08!!

EFabian   March 3rd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I thought Obama was uniting the party. All of this vitriol states otherwise. Talk about hypocritical. But then again I am not surprised since Obama is ALL talk (just ask CTV In Canada) and no substance.

GO GO Hillary

NO NO NOBAMA.

BG - Texas   March 3rd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I've seen so many Obama commericials on TV in Texas – I think I am finally brain washed and will switch to Obama. He knows what to do.
It's 3 am and the phone rings and Obama answers and says, "wait a few minutes, I need to ask Hillary what she would do!"

Marie   March 3rd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Good for you, but American peoples are not stupid. The NAFTA as it was reporting to blame Obama to play on double side is something that you should not believe. Our prime minister is a 'pro-bush' and hope McCain win against you if you are the nominee. No offense but this, is a old ad, .deja vue'............

Natalie NJ   March 3rd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Let's give credit to Obama and to McCain for each running a very dignified honorable campaign to date. The CLintons are the Clintons and will never change, they represent politics as usual, lies, tricks, throw the "kitchen sink" anything to get ahead at any cost.
This is the first time our youth have been so engaged and they have faith in a new kind of politics but since this may not advantage a CLinton they will destroy this enthusiasm and take their party down at the same time. Why can"t the candidates just point out their strenghts and present their positions, STop with the rumors the nastiness etc. I have watched cut throat politics for 50 years and am so tired of it!! I hope we see am OBAMA- MCCain run and I think we will see a new day!
it's so sad to watch Obama keep defending his religion and now this GloriaS insulting John Mc Cain. SHAME ON HILLARY!!

beckstone   March 3rd, 2008 5:58 pm ET

“let me say this . . . I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions.”

Elaborate Hillary. Exactly which foreign policy decisions? Well, there was the Iraq war and giving Bush more power to invade Iran if he wants. Those you were involved in. What else? The Bill Clinton years? What sort of involvement? did you make the good decisions but Bill made the bad ones?
Are you gonna run on your experience against John McCain too if you win? That'll be a real winner Hillary. Your a real winner.

Shane Canada   March 3rd, 2008 5:58 pm ET

NAFTA North American Free Trade Agreement . The whole time she is talking about this she is saying CHINA. China is not in North America Mrs. Clinton.

M. Martin   March 3rd, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Where has she been for the last year?
Every day a different message and moving the gold post, that is a straight shooter for you.

Joe Alaniz   March 3rd, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Is it me, or does Obama and Clinton resemble the characters from the movie Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, where Sally Field portrays a power, arrogant, egotistic congresswoman and Reese Witherspoon plays a lawyer that is seen as a delusional, ignorant, and Capital Barbie doll. How could a blonde political virgin come to Washington D.C. and think that she could make a difference among the elite policy-makers. Of course, in this case Obama is not a mindless or an air head individual, but is still seen as a Capital Ken doll. Now, the question that needs to be asked, can Obama pull a win like Ms. Witherspoon.

If running a simple campaign staff became such an issue, how much more difficult will it be for her to run an entire nation, or can she even hire a campaign staff that can BEAT Mr. very credible McCain and his armies of Republicans and Independents?

In comparison to Mr. Obama, Mr. McCain so amazed by Mr. Obama's talents in hiring highly qualifed campaign staff is trying to hold Mr. Obama to a pledge even Mr. Obama now realizes he made too early, long before he discovered his own talent in a) hiring qualified people for the particular job on hand, b) managing them extremely efficiently into a highly productive dynamic team and c) mastering the art of message and bringing people together across all walks of life.

If I was a Democratic voter, I'd hire Mr. Obama with his campaign staff, Democrats and independents to match upto and even better than Mr. McCain.

The Question is: Will Democratic voters speak tomorrow as have all the previous 11 States have?

MC in TX   March 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

She's just getting warmed up? The time to "warm up" was back in December, before everyone started voting. Half the country has voted already. She's lost the last 11 straight primaries. Forget warming up, Hillary Clinton needs to drop out.

nyindependent   March 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Obama fans: if you are so confident in your candidate, then why all the screaming for Hillary to get out? What are you worried about? The Democratic party being "torn apart"? If Obama wins, it won't be his fans who will be upset.

I give Hillary a lot of credit. Whenever she tries to attack his positions, (yes, that's what happens in campaigns), then you all talk about how unfairly she's attacking him. Case in point: the "three in the morning" ad....right after it came out, Obama himself said she was trying to use fear as a tactic..... Then not 24 hours later, he comes out with virtually the same ad!!! I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out the fact that your candidate is a politician too...not the risen messiah.

Let the election process take its course. I'm sure people of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont (not to mention any other state yet to hold a primary) want their voices heard too.

Y.Lee   March 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

CNN – Bash, Slam, Hammer..."Trading barbs" is another one. Can't you guys think of any better adjectives to use? When such adjectives flood the headlines day after day, they soon lose their meaning.

Indiana Bob   March 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

By his own admission, Obama has done nothing as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. His excuse is that he became chairman January, 2007, the same time he started his campaign for president. Then why didn't he turn down the chairmanship since he knew he couldn't perform those duties? Simple. He wanted to be able to put on his resume that he was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. That amounts to the extint of his foreign policy experience. So he put his personal ambitions to become president above what is in the best interests of our country and the American people. And that is change we can depend on?? That is how he provides leadership on foreign policy issues??

Texas4Obama   March 3rd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Hillary is NOT fighting for the American people – she is fighting to get the nomination and get elected so she can get her Peter Paul lawsuit booted out of court! The Peter Paul vs. Clintons lawsuit is currently in the California court system and the media is not reporting on this! Wake up everyone and do a search for Peter Paul vs. Clintons and be informed before you vote!

Bea, Hoboken, NJ   March 3rd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

It is beyond me how can any Democrat doubt who is more prepared and capabale to lead our nation. Hillary Clinton was fighting for civil rights, women's rights and children's rights when Obama was still in grade school.

Since when is the candidate with the least experience at the national level (having been in the state senate is NOT the same thing), the one who is fit to be president?

Wake up Americans!!!! Actions speak louder than words, speeches and platitudes will not solve our problems.

Democrats, please vote tomorrow for Hillary in TX, OH, RI and VT.

The nation is counting on you!!!!!!!!!

mw   March 3rd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

LadyLeo   March 3rd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Hillary wants to ask Obama where is his beef, he is not the one running his campaign based on experience she is. Since she is running based on experience when is she going to put her prime rib on the plate, I haven't seen it yet. If she has so much more experience than Obama why is does she keep hitting below the belt, his religion, taking speechs from his co chairman, his 20 year old drug experiment. You should not have to bring someone down to make your self look good. What experience does Hillary have besides being Bill Clintons wife. I can not get a job based on my husbands resume why should she?

If "winning, winning, winning" is her measure of success, then by her own logic her campaign is failing misserably.

I was "present"   March 3rd, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Bill W: I like the analogy you make.

When you need a doctor, you go to a doctor and not he lady who sez she is the doctor's wife. Exactly the point, when you need a docor you do not go to the doctor's wife nor do you got to a SHAMAN!!

And given the choice of a doctor's wife and a Quack, I'd pick the doctor's wife anyday. At least she is telling the truth and not advertising herself as a "worldly saint" – that is right a worldly saint with borrowed words.

If only hope and great speeches could have fixed issues this world would have been a great place. If only nations could be secured with fiery debates over the internet we can dismantle our armies and get rid of the 22,000 nuclear war heads we have pointed at every other nation on this planet.

Nikole   March 3rd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Nicole, Wisconsin   March 3rd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hillary, do not give up please!!!!!!! I am counting on you!!!! I just do not trust Obama. Obama says during the Ohio debate he would redo Nafta then tells the Canadians he was only saying that for votes. Obama gave a great speech about how it was wrong to go after Alqada in Iraq and we should have gone after them in Afganistan yet when he is appointed to chair a commity on the fight in Afganistan he accepts the post and does nothing because he is to busy running for President Obama works for Kerry in his run for president and says he is not sure how he would have voted if he would have been in the senate at the time of the vote for the war in Iraq.

She is just getting warmed up??? 39 primaries into the cycle?

Is the phone ringing at 3:00 am because she failed to answer it at 9, 10, 11, 12, 1 and 2?

Perhaps she thought that it was from a country that "didn't matter."

She is NOT qualified to be president. . . .

Latina Voter   March 3rd, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Finally, the media has showed some backbone. Because of the media Obama had been Flawless, but TRUE COLORS always show up in due time. Example: Real Estate dealings with Rezko, Conversation RE: NAFTA with a Canadian official for political reasons and a friend to an activist. HMMMMMM!!!! Mr. Words Matter. As you can see your actions are not high. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS. It is easier to give a speech, then to make a decision. No one will ever no how you would of voted regarding the war. (With your voting record you would of voted present.) You did not have a voice at that time. So your going to have to say a lot more, then I was running for Senate at the time you were making your speech against the war. Your judgement is being tested now.

Hillary Clinton 2008!!!!!!!

Mischelle from Illinois   March 3rd, 2008 5:45 pm ET

PLEASE Hillary Stay in until after Pennsylvania. I really think that she should keep going, this race is so close. The popular vote is very close. Mr. Obama may have won 11 straight races, but most of these wins are in states that are considered Republican States, that the Democrats do not carry. Hillary Clinton has carried the BIG Democratic States. And this race is too close for her to even consider getting out.
Is anyone asking the DNC if they will sanction Mr. Obama for running campaign adds in FL despite the fact that he SIGNED an agreement not to campaign in the state?????? DNC are you there????

MICHAEL BURNETT L.I.N.Y.   March 3rd, 2008 5:45 pm ET

I am so sick beyond words, Hillary you will not win this election, we the people see you for the evil twin of the devil himself! You are getting so ugly it's sad to see a presidential candidate do the things that you have done to try to win! How low will you go? You have no respect for yourself, and I have no respect for you!! I will tell you this, if you do steal the democratic nomination from Obama then I believe like most men will vote for McCain. Thats now much I deslike the way you went about this demorcratic primary. You can have the woman vote for you "but" you can not win without the men and you know this! Why do think that the republicans want you to win? It is sad that you woman out there dont see this. I myself will get out there to do what I can to see that you do not win, as a demorcratic voter I will not only vote for McCain but I will help campaign for him as well !!!!!!!!!

Ted   March 3rd, 2008 5:45 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is more than willing to lie, distort, and trade on rumor and innuendo to fulfill her insatiable ambition. I hope the voters in OH, TX, RI, and VT see through it and put her badly-run campaign to rest. She's had three big opportunities to leave her mark on history - the healthcare initiative in 1993, the Iraq vote, and managing her campaign - and she's botched all three badly. We don't need this kind of experience or character in any kind of leadership position in this country. Both Obama or McCain run circles around her on integrity.

Jay   March 3rd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

I think people are finally beginning to see what Obama is all about. Telling the Canadians that his tough talk is just campaign foolery. The man is all about pandering for the moment. Wake up Texas and Ohio. He has fooled so many others along the way. Don't fall for his trickery. Vote for Hillary, the only person in the whole shooting match who can run a country.

Go Obama

Jim, Carbondale, IL   March 3rd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

How many times has she said "I'm just getting warmed up?" Didn't she say this in a few debates since the summer? Is she going to "find her own voice" again too? If she doesn, I'm sure CNN will be right there behind her, clamoring to write up a positive news headline for her as fast as possible.

Darth Vadik, CA   March 3rd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Why is she even considered a viable candidate?

After staright 11 losses by the average margin of more than 25%, Hillary does not get enough scrutiny for staying in, she's nothing more than a Democraic Huckabee at this point.

I know its hard to swallow you Clintonites, but it is a fact.

pb Voter   March 3rd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

When asked by a reporter what specific experience she has had, Clinton said, “let me say this — until you’re the president there is no comparison but I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions.” - The truth is there is no nationally elected official with the title: "First Lady" - it just as Obama did not have to vote but spoke out on the war. She did not have to make ONE vote as the "FIRST LADY of the UNITED STATES". I don't se that as experience !!

MickyD10   March 3rd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

I thought she said she would be ready to go on day one???? Five rings on the Red Phone before she answers, and then eight months on the campaign trail to get warmed up dosn't sound like she is very ready to me. Keep up the spin Hillary. This is getting to be hilarious.

Texas4Obama   March 3rd, 2008 5:42 pm ET

She LOST 11 in a row! That is NOT success. I believe she is delusional and needs to go see a doctor!

Vig   March 3rd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Hillary SHOULD stay in this all the way to the convention floor. Why? Because she has had a foreclosure sign hung around her neck weeks ago while Obama has been over sold by the anti-Clinton media. The media have hijacked the election process by doing everything they can to make Clinton irrelvant. Secondly, we really don't know enough about Obama. CNN has just started to give him a critical eye – finally. What took so long? Nobama.

Tom   March 3rd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Yes, you go girl, go home and stop trying to wreck the Democratic Party. Her willingness to perform a torch and burn policy is hurting the Dem's, but she doesn't see that since she feels she is entitled to the nomination! Go Obama!!

smustaro   March 3rd, 2008 5:40 pm ET

YOU GO GIRL! Enough already!
Let's just hope it's not too late.
They let him go on & on, shuffling Rezsko, Kenya, his voting record on Iraq, his strongarming fellow but distinquished African-Americans for superdelegate votes, his attacks on you go unanswered. & shoved under the rug. We all fumed & shouted but they looked away.
Please do not stop until we can get you this nomination. YOU are the President we NEED.
He can't win against John McCain. I don't care what polls they spin. I admit tho as awful as he has been to fellow Democrats I'd love to see John take him to task rofl.
Keep up the good work Hillary! See you in Oregon for my vote!!

Incompetent. Delusional. Desperate. Enough said.

GA teacher   March 3rd, 2008 5:39 pm ET

My goodness, this woman is delusional!!

Harry   March 3rd, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I am from Beaumont... Hillary's Husband was the bomb. I like the Clintons however Obama is cleary better for the WORLD.... He will do more across the board for alot of people.... He is the People's Choice.... His Job will be hard with so many watching but God will shine on him like no other..... Obama this is your time....

Thomas   March 3rd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Just getting warmed up? Wasn't that you're line after NH?

Good thing you're warm now. Obama's on fire. Knocked that 20 point lead right out of your hands, and he's really heating up.

Perhaps you are referring the right-wing attack machine you call your campaign staff?

Hillary 08   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

...and alot more voters are now getting warmed up to her. Thank-you for not giving up on the American people, Hillary. It took us a while but we're getting there. Onward and upward!

Lou   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

That's my girl... fight for us...

david   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Clinton will survive the rude media and republicans

Hillary 08 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Marc   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Whenever she is asked what experience she had at 3:00 am in the morning she never really gives the reporter an answer. I wonder why?
Mrs Clinton please stop telling fairy tales of your past experience to your supporters. America is not falling for your lies in your desperate attempt to claim your rightful thrown. 11 straight victories for Obama and Texas will give you the knockout blow. Why have you not gotten the message that America wants Obama to answer that phone.

*Please note in both ads that Barrack answers the phone right away while Hilliary lets it ring till the end of the commercial.

I think that says it all.....

burnham scott   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

HILLARY REALLY BELIEVES THAT SHE IS ENTITLED TO THE NOMINATION AND THE PRESIDENTCY BY VIRTUE OF BEING THE WIFE OF BILL. SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN CHANGE.

AJ   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

YAY!! I was hoping she wouldn't drop out – ALL THE WAY BABY!!

Hillary 2008

james martin california   March 3rd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Show us your whitehouse calanders Hillary. Or are you still too busy to get around to them?

EL NNINO   March 3rd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

She finally admits she has no foreign policy experience. Thank you Hillary, now John McCain can win in November because of your gratuitous attacks

Tom   March 3rd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

To all those spewing hate about Obama about Tony Rezko

Clinton has Peter Paul scandal -Look it up–unless your scared to find out she's not perfect.

Peter Canada Obama 08   March 3rd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Yes she has to warmedup for tomorrow, when she fail to get all 4 states.
Oh.. I just want to comment on the first sticker on Hillary's new ad.
Eventhough Hillary ad portray Obama in a negative ways of he not chairing NATO subcommitee, the respondant are against her ad. 60% of the respondance rejected her tactice and called her too desperate.

What can she do at this moment to get back her reputation.? She has lost her credibility since she went negative on her rival our next President of the United State Of America Barack Obama.

I think she should step aside before tomorrow election and declare her support for Obama. That will clear the negativity people see on her.
Remember, close to call is not enough for her to continue her campaign. She has to win big or dropped out of the race with respect.

MR CEE   March 3rd, 2008 5:35 pm ET

You GO Girl !!!!!!

Tim, Texas   March 3rd, 2008 5:34 pm ET

She just warming up to tell more lies!

RKE, Suisun City, CA   March 3rd, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Please don't leave everybody hanging. Hillary should specify what foreign policy decisions she has been deeply involved in. Otherwise, the only thing coming out of her mouth is words.

Fay   March 3rd, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Will she ever stop?! OMG she is becoming a major migraine!

Ardnuas   March 3rd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

She has always been warmed up to FIGHT WITH EVERYBODY !!! She wants to be president so she can continue her fights with the Republicans...... I hope the voters REALLY listen to her words !!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

CA boomer for CHANGE   March 3rd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

So this means that her mudslinging has only begun. Don't count on it.... those financing her compaign might become a bit concerned about the likely return on their investment after Tuesday.

Lioness   March 3rd, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Oh, Hillary is loving this moment, just as she was months ago when she said "Now the fun part begins" (paraphrasing). There is not a fight she doesn't love.

So don't mistake this so-called warm up for a victory march. The warm-up is a threat to the Obama camp that says, "If you think this is nasty, wait until you see what I throw at you next!!"

But wait: warming up, after more than half the country has voted? Talk about procrastinating, Hillary. You should have started planning way ahead of time. The trouble is that you and your minions goes so blinded by hubris that you did not bother to plan past February 5. It's too late, though. As usual, you are behind the curve, behind the times, and behind in the national polls.

Darth Vadik, CA   March 3rd, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Oh yeah,

Don't worry, Obama will cool you off tomorrow.

Uncle Sam   March 3rd, 2008 5:30 pm ET

11 straight losses, and she's just getting warmed up?
Only in America...

LatinoNation   March 3rd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

hmmm maybe we shoud say Obama give up and get out ?? like Obama people say :)

Roy   March 3rd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

There are occasions when you must have a mentaly very solid president who will be able to make difficult decisions of her/his own. What if Iran and Hezbollah unexpectedly is invading Israel? Hillary Clinton has proven to be a strong woman how can handle extremely severe problems – in public service and privately. This very important and essentially positive quality should have been given more attention in the press and by many Americans. On the contrary many Americans including the press have treated her very unfair. Now doubt Omaba has been nursed like a darling favorite. To me Clinton appears to be very persistent (absolutely not whining) while Barack Obama seems to be somewhat loudmouthed.

Rich in Seattle   March 3rd, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Nooooooooooooooooooo..................

I reject and denounce this!!! She's turning into the bad girlfriend who doesn't get the hint that it's over.

Audrey, San Francisco   March 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

"I'm just getting warmed up" ???

What happened to "Ready on Day One" ?

Farrell, Houston, Tx   March 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

HILLARY IS IN BED WITH THE REPUBLICANS, SHE IS NOT APPEALING TO DEMOCRAT VOTERS. THE ONLY THING SHE IS "BLOODING UP" IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND EMBOLDING THE REPUBLICANS. THE DNC NEEDS TO STRONGLY ADVISE HILLARY OR DECLARE HERSELF NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT.

Markus   March 3rd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

When asked by a reporter what specific experience she has had that would make her ready to answer that phone call at 3 a.m., Clinton said, “let me say this — until you’re the president there is no comparison but I have been deeply involved in foreign policy decisions.”

Great non-answer.

barry   March 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I am not for Hillary or Obama, but it is so clear to me that Hillary is the stronger candidate.

Sylvester   March 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Democrats cannot afford a fight all the way to the convention. There comes a time when selfish interests must be put aside in favor of the greater good. If the Republicans were still contesting their primaries, then Sen. Clinton should continue her bid. But, this is not the case. Republicans have pretty much settled their contest. On Wednesday morning, whoever is behind in the democratic race should just step down and let the party unify.

Nic, San Francisco   March 3rd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Yeah we know you are Hillary! Keep the hate and division flowing, and you are sure to damage the party before the general election.

Rick   March 3rd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Just getting warmed up??? The campaign has been going on for a year now. Will it take her that long to get warmed up to a 3AM call?

Jay   March 3rd, 2008 5:25 pm ET

just keep it civil. no more negative attacks on both sides

Stay Home   March 3rd, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Hillary keep dropping news dropping to dicredited Obama and still get away with it.

Ed   March 3rd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

No matter what happens tomorrow HIllary Clinton has made history and should be respected as one of the most influential women in politics in US history:

1. First First Lady to seek and attain political office.

2. First woman to ever win a major party primary.

3. First woman to ever have a real chance in earning her parties nomination.

Like her or not, she has and will continue to make history regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's primaries. For that she will always have my utmost respect.

Jayson   March 3rd, 2008 5:23 pm ET

When a block of ice warms up it melts and I doubt that you want to melt do you?

All jokes aside you do have to give Hillary credit for actually having plans even if they are stupid ones.

John   March 3rd, 2008 5:22 pm ET

LOL she is foolin herself. When she realises the inevitable she gonna go mad because she's power hungry watch and see.

Sara   March 3rd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

OBAMA 2008!!! Hopefully she will bow out gracefully tomorrow.

Thomas   March 3rd, 2008 5:21 pm ET

I love the last line. In other words, I also really don't have any experience but if I tell you enough times that I do then maybe you will believe it.

Bill W   March 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

When I go to the doctor, I want the one who can do the job – not the one who says she should be my doctor because she was married to a doctor.

Being married to a president does not make one qualified to be president.

If the Clintons are elected, and the phone rings at 3 am: Bill will be out with a blonde and Hillary will let the answering machine get it because she will be afraid to make a decision without taking a poll first.

Nate in Mpls   March 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

“winning, winning, winning, that’s my measure of success.”

???

She just makes it SO easy!

Paul   March 3rd, 2008 5:20 pm ET

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!
HILLARY PRESIDENTE!

You are the most qualified candidate at this time to lead and guide our nation towards success.

May God bless you and your administration as President of the United States of America!

Julia   March 3rd, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Atta girl.

Robert   March 3rd, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Hillary – it's 3AM and the phone rings. . . .Do you know where your husband is?

Bill   March 3rd, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Keep fighting Hillary. America needs a fighter and your our best hope to clean up the mess we have had from the last 8 years.

Hillary 08
