It wouldn't make a difference. The math speaks for itself. She would need to have at least 70% of the vote overall to win the election. I don't see any possible way other than to cheat. If, she cheats it will be un-american and will not be americas favorite former first lady or President.

Obama has addressed an issue today that even she can begin to relate too, other than criticize it. By far he has proven that he can deal with complex issues that can be dealt with without have to whine, or call cheap shots.

Go Obama Go

Sen. Clinton has 8 years while Pres. Clinton was in office to forge ahead with health care and failed. It seems that she was unable to reach out to bi-partisan support at that time, and failed miserably. She was unable to convince Pres. Clinton that NAFTA would be detrimental to the US workers when he was working on that issue, will she be more affective the second time around?

Hey John, I meant "Thanks for backing the best candidate", certainly not "baking the best candidate". Sorry about the typo, but it is sort of funny.

Ouch that has to hurt Clinton to be endorsed by this guy. He called our troops murderers before even seeing the evidence or giving them a chance to respond. He's far worse than moveon.org

Thank you Murtha for endorsing Hillary Clinton for President. Super Delgates you need to follow suit and step up to the plate and endorse Hillary. Many of the Super Delgates steped out before Ohio and Texas to change the race to favor Obama. We all know that Hillary is ready to be President, so get off your tush and help make it happen. I don't know what has been wrong with you super delgates. I think you are disgusting playing with this decision about selecting a President.

Dear Mr. John Murtha, you are the real Democrat leader. Kerry and Kennedy are not at same level with you and they will never be.
Thank you Rep. Murtha, I knew you are bigger than House speaker, Nancy. Why? Nancy said she wants delegates should choose the nominee by the rule, not superdelegates, means she is Obama's side. I think she made a huge mistake because Obama will lose, he lost his confidence and supporters will leave him slowly when his real colors is disclosed more. I was disappointed by Nancy's interview, but I feel better because Mr. Murtha recognized Hillary's ability. Go Hillary, you will win State by State from 22 April.

My major initial intent as we began to look at the potential candidates for our next President was to get Rudy Guiliani as far away as possible from representing me as our next Commander in Chief. Thank God his arrogance and attitude lost him the Florida votes. What an loser he was!

Now I am left with not one individual who I can fully endorse as my next President - Hillary is not that person - Obama is certainly not someone i can support – that leaves me with the Old Man, McCain, and I certainly don't agree with his endorsement of the Iraqi fiasco.
What is the average American to do? There is no one that I can see who fits the bill to lead this Country. Obama is really a laughing stock of all the candidates. What a joke he is!!!

As the primary season unfolds I admire Hillary Clinton more and more. She is attacked viciously by readers, many of them asking why she doesn't get out of the race. She continues in the race with dignity and spirit. Why people hate her, I do not understand.
She was a great First Lady and has been an outstanding Senator. And even now, she has to live through cutting remarks about her husband's scandal, brought out by a vindictive Republican Congress. It is obvious to me that the Clintons have spent their political lives embracing all Americans, speaking for the needs of our country. As I watch the news, I see how much love there is in the Clinton family. I have no problem with Senator Obama, but I am hoping that Mrs. Clinton will be the nominee. She is extremely capable and will restore to this country the respect that we seem to have lost in the world.

Let's see now. Murtha is against the war. Hillary voted for the war, and does not apologize for that vote. Barack was against the war. So it follows that Murtha endorses HILLARY? Something under the table must be going on that the rest of us can't know.

This is a man who does not support the withdrawal of troops from Iraq...

He and Ed Rendell are involved with the clintons in very underhanded ways!!!! Ed Rendell is involved in a lawsuit with the clintons and Peter Paul a felon who raised money for the clintons. Ed Rendell and John Murtha are supporters of the clintons because they have been promised favors from the clintons if they support them and cover their backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know who you're voting women!!!! I'm a woman but I would never vote for Hillary.....She's a liar and ravenous for power and she will do and say whatever she needs to to get this nomination!!!!!

DON'T BE FOOLED PENNSYLVANIANS!!!!!! SHE'S NOT WHO SHE SAYS SHE IS....

VOTE FOR HONESTY AND CHANGE, VOTE OBAMA!

A lot of elderly white males will now endorse Hillary, most of the Good Ole boys were just waiting for an excuse not to vote for Barack. I am not saying Mr. Murtha is a Good Ole boy, only he as well as many others knows the comments they have had at their kitchen tables.

SO....................... Murtha? That MIGHT get her 12 votes. Now ALL of the BillyBots come on out and say how great this is when you always say they mean nothing when they are for Obama.

This game is getting too predictable and Boring.

Murtha was one of the first leaders in America to question and challenge the Iraq war in a serious way. This is very significant that this anti-war leader is supporting Hillary. I would hope CNN would make this a headline of sorts.

I am sorry to learn of your preference, Murtha. It took you a while to decide! I'm wondering about the timing! Did this "race" furor Obama is caught up in have anything to do with your decision?

"In a statement, Murtha said Clinton is "the candidate that will forge a consensus on health care, education, the economy, and the war in Iraq."

Clinton failed miserably on heatlh care in 1993.

She failed on Iraq in 2002.

It's remarkable for someone who hads a record of failure, she talks about socalled "experience"

By: Bonbon

good for you Mr. Murtha, I hope the rest of the democratic officials get on the Hillary bandwagon and get on it soon, it is the best ride in town

and HILLARY is the right. person to lead this country forward to a strong economy, more jobs here on US soil, a better standing in the world.to an end to the Iraq war, to benefit both Iraq, the USA, and the world.

Hillary will not only make changes, but she will make changes that will make POSITIVE differences in the lives of the American Public, and isn't that what the American Public want. all the american public,regardless of gender, race, creed, or religious affiliation.
