"In spite of the best efforts of a lot of the elites in the media and other places it looks like we are gonna have an opportunity for everybody to vote in this primary, and I think your vote should be counted, don't you?

so does that mean if Hillary was ahead he wouldn't want to end the race because all votes need to be counted. Well come on back Joe Biden, John Edwards, and the rest of you guys - Bill Clinton said let you decide.

He's right. Give people a chance to vote. At the end, however, on June 4, someone will be ahead; let that someone be the nominee.

I love him. McCain wishes he could talk that straight.

Keep up the good work Bill. Go Hillary Go Hillary…

Go Bill !!!

This is why I love the Clinton's !!!

I have been saying this all along

let the best/toughest man or woman win!!!

Hillary '08

The only people hurting the Democratic party are those who are trying to stop the process from continuing. No candidate has enough pledged delegates to win, so the process continues according to party rules. Every democrat should have a vote and those votes should be counted (including Florida and Michigan). People who are telling a candidate to drop out are circumventing the process and laying blame when there is no fault. Let's give democracy a chance. Stop trying to crown Obama when he has not won.

Well said Bill, couldn't agree with you more. Sometimes I wonder if Hillary has more (you know what) than Obama. She is a warrior and fighter NOT A QUITTER. Go Hillary!!

Hillary 2008!!

Amen brother!!! WE need a President with a backbone and who can't take the heat! That's Hillary. Everyone is treating Obama like a baby. What happens if he becomes President?

If this process is stopped prematurely by party insiders, then I will not vote for the Democratic "nominee" in November. The DNC has already messed-up with the way it has disenfranchised Florida and Michigan, and the party had better not make another mistake by stifling the primary and convention process. Let the voters vote and let the superdelegates choose the candidate that can win in November.

I wonder how long it will take for Obamablogger to start saying more nasty things about Bill, his wife, and even his only daughter. The Clintons have been through this before. Just Remember"
STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES BUT
WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME.

Bill you have my support and admiration.

Let's see the Obama campaign and supporters play the race card again.

Bill is right, all people should be heard all votes should count and if you want a fight over then lets fight over. This is America and people have the right to be heard and there voices should be heard.

You hit right on the nail. Thank you Mr. President

Why don't we just settle this with one more debate. And let Jerry Springer host it!

Bill, do us all a favor. Shut Up!!!

Bill never played football did he, he dodged the draft didn't he.

Thank you Bill Clinton for making the point that Clinton is "clipping" Obama sometimes. An "illegal" move. Thank you for pointing out how Hillary has decided not to listen to all those people who say, "we don't want democrats to be divided."

Good arguments all around.

Very good speech and right on the money! I wonder if Obama will allow voters of Florida and Michigan to have a say in this election? Here's what Obama said recently:

Obama: “There is no place for politics in this debate – no room for those who feel they can gain a partisan advantage by keeping people away from the polls.’ “There are some issues in this country that are inherently difficult and political. Making sure that every American can cast a ballot shouldn't be one of them. There is no place for politics in this debate–no room for those who feel that they can gain a partisan advantage by keeping people away from the polls.” [Obama Floor Speech on Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2007, S 453, 1/31/07]

How can the Clintons go on and on about how they want everybody's vote to count, but then argue that the delegates we vote for dont need to vote the way of thier constituencies? This is hypocracy.

President Clinton is right. What happened to the Democrats message that all votes must count? Didn't we all anguish through that in 2000? It is ridiculous to even suggest that voters in the last states shouldn't have their say. President Clinton took so much heat in the past for saying that all this hoopla is the media. It is the media. Ratings go up when there is some new "gotcha" on a candidate. Let this play out and may the better woman win.

Wild Bill Clinton… How the West was Won….. Go William…

The Blazing Clintons… Blaze the Trail, once again…

Let's see, Bill Clinton tells West Virginia their votes should count: "I think your vote should be counted, don't you?" but scroll to the news stories to see the opposite where Harold Ickes and Hillary saying multiple times that pledged delegates are fee to vote for whoever they want, regardless of primary results and scroll on to the stories about Pelosi being chastised by Clinton campaign. The double speak and all out war the Clintons are waging is really getting old. Weeks agon others pointed out the Clinton hypocracy over Florida and Michigan in its positions from 2007 when they thought they did not matter because Hillary was a shoe-in to their positions now as the race has narrowed. Why doesn't this disgust more people. Why can't people see through this outrageous campaign of Hillary's to go against the public and its primaries? Aren't these the same people who were crying foul over the 2000 election?

Good for you, President Clinton. Your comments are the most sensible words we have heard about this topic. I'm sick of the "glitterati", as you so aptly described them trying to stop a process that needs to continue to evolve. Let all the voters have a say, including those in Florida and Michigan. Stop the stories, polls and speculation about the bickering. Go Hillary!!!

Y am i not surprised that Pres. Clinton is saying this stuff about having an argument and keep the fighting going when after last week he was saying he was saying that he wish we had a race of 2 candidates who loved the country (Subliminal swipe at Obama) instead of all this "other stuff." As a Clinton supporter I must say NEWS FLASH PRES. CLINTON!: YOU ARE ALL THE OTHER STUFF!! Your comments today are deplorable. Why should America listen to you, and destroy any chance we have at winning the general whether its Hillary or Barack? And to keep the surrogates who make absurd statements on the campaign, are you serious? Are you saying that the RACIST remarks of Ms. Ferraro are part of your "campaign line?" I am disgusted as your supporter. I still hold you and your wife in the highest regard, but i am ashamed to stand by such statements against members of the black community. You are a respected man on both sides of race and yet you say such things. PLEASE STOP DETERIORATING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY with your absurd comments. You used to be the President that brought people together to get things done and now look where you've gone since then. I still support but i am deeply shamed. I apologize to all OBAMA supporters who are subjected to this. Both candidates are strong candidates and would be 100 times better than BUSH. But to sink this low and rally your supporters to fight with dirty tactics(my interpretation not Clinton's)is a disgrace to the true americans who love this country. I think i have to look at what i am affiliated with and decide if i should support Obama. This is a day of disappointment for me, the man i once loved as president has done the unthinkable all just to win.

The Clintons are bound and determined to TOTALLY destroy the Democratic party!! This might be o.k. if he were talking about the opposing party but Bill Clinton is talking about a fellow democrat!! I can not believe how low they are willing to go to get this nomination. Will no one stop them before it is too late?

Disgusting!. Just shut off and go home!!!

Ha Ha… Ummmm Bill? You do realize that it was your wife's campaign that started requesting the resignation or termination of advisers… some one give this guy a card to read off of. What a character. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" Lies, Lies, Lies

What Bill Clinton is saying is precisely what's wrong in American politics. Infinite arguments are the reason why nothing ever gets done in Washington. We can't agree on anything; except to continue to argue and disagree. As the problems in this country mount and reach higher levels of seriousness and intensity, we're still ARGUING. He should know that the arguing has to stop before we can come to agreement on how to best solve our problems. What we don't need is a President who's political philosophy is "Let's saddle up and ARGUE" for another 8 years. By then, there will not be an America left to argue about.

Hillary is a "girl" now? I thought that went out of vogue 30+ years ago with the modern-day advent of feminism.

Mr. Clinton
We had enough, Please go away.

GOD HE"S GOOD LOVE U BILL
HILLARY 08!!!!!!

"Don't let anybody take this election away from you." "I think your vote should be counted, don't you?" These words from a campaign that also thinks that the voters don't know enough to decide the results and superdelegates should, therefore, overturn the popular vote?

HARD TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH 2 LIERS IN AMBUSH.

ENOUGH ALREADY….I'M TIRED OF THIS EX-PRESIDENT!!! YOU AND YOUR WIFE ARE DESTROYING THIS PARTY!!! YOU BOTH ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING!!! I'M ON THE VERGE OF GOING REPUBLICAN!!

It's official- he's gone crazy.

He can't stand the thought of only having 8 years in the White House and not 16 years.

At least he didn't wag his finger this time, did he?

Thins is the problem. The Clinton's are NOT fighting for the country, they are fighting for the Clinton's. THIS IS WHAT AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT? That's the problem. We don't have to fight but the Clinton's WANT to fight. This is very sad that people are supporting this!

I remember when the economy was great and we weren't at war. Oh yeah, Clinton was president then.

Thanks Bill. Keep saying it like it is. Thank you for being a true democrat.

Let's give the voters and superdelegates a voice. Why are democrats so opposed to democracy in this primary season?

They know that Obama cannot win in November and want to stop the process before the superdelegates have to realize it.

It's perhaps very telling that Bill Clinton uses a football metaphor for politics saying it is okay to break the rules and make an illegal block (e.g., clipping). Clipping is a penalty for a reason…..another example of the Clintons feeling that they are above the rules.

Even Peyton Manning wouldn't want to be on a football field with someone that was going to "occasionally" clip him from behind.

shut up bill. nobody likes you.

This guy is a sleaze and a total con artist who will tell you black is white and wet is dry and then mount a flawed legal argument to try prove it. Don't believe a word he says. The best thing he can do on his wife's behalf is to lay low and keep his mouth shut.

Listen up people, Pay attention.
Be very carefull how you speak to or about that Clinton woman. You could wind up on the wrong side of the Clinton machine and end up like Vince Foster in Fort Marcie Park. They retain quacks like J. Carville to make their problems dissapear.

THANK YOU BILL.

im so sick of obama ppl insulting hillary then the next second go "we dont want the same old politics". in fact it just happened when hillary was asked a direct q about obamas pastor and answered it. then they claim shes desperate, will sink to terribly low levels just to win and did it because of the bosnia comments thing. its hypocritical and sounds like the "same old politics" to me.

guys, the scandals and the insults are gonna come in the general election and we need a candidate tough enough to take the hits from the republicans and hit back harder. hillary can, she has for years and years and come out stronger. really doesnt seem as though obama can do the same.
HILL '08

Go Hillary! you'r the best

. . . BILL, I will have the Rev. Wright pray for you again.

Obama 08.

it s' right. no one has enough delegate and when the race is going on, some people just want it stop. Why? Does it make sense. It likes I play a tennis game and when I am ben leading, someone jumps in and tells me that out. Come one. when Obama has enough delegate he game will be over. Now, Just go on Hillary.

Go away cheater…..

Obama 08, Obama 08…

The biggest disappointment of this entire Democratic primary for me - a lifelong Democrat, is the dispicable action of Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign. Before the Nevada primary, I would have defended Bill Clinton with every ounce of my being - I thought his impeachment was a witch hunt. But I have lost all respect for him and that is sad. But what is worse is that I am only one of many who feels this way - as far as I'm concerned Bill and Hillary, along with a few select others like Lanny Davis and James Carville, should be expelled from the Democratic Party. Bill, your legacy is forever sullied.

What a joke!

Just spoke with an Obama supporter in Texas. Apparently, HRC's campaign has been robo-calling pledged delegates to try to convince them that they can switch to her at their leisure.

Has anyone else or someone they know had this experience?

Seems underhanded in that she is now basically saying that individual voters no longer count. Yet her husband is yapping about votes counting. They should really get their plan together.

Sure hope the DNC leaders know this as well as the media outlets.

BTW - how does HRC have all of the contact information for pledged delegates? Is this public information?

He's a liar and Iof course he wants dirty politics because this is all he knows and it works for those who attracted to those type of lowly tactics.

Counting all votes and not just the votes for Hillary Clinton is something most democrats want. Be far.

I'm sick of the despicable lies and half trues.
That's Clintonian politics for you.

Keep talking, It only helps Obama.

The rancor and name calling does nothing to solve our problems, I don't want the toughest person to win. I want the best person to win. Is it any wonder why some our nations best avoid public service.

I don't get it. First he says that anyone running for office should be able to deal with the reality of getting "beat up". Then he suggests that we should all feel bad about saying "bad things" about Hillary, because she's "a girl". Way to twist it around, Bill.

As for disenfranchising voters - I think it's very interesting that neither Obama nor Clinton have spoken out in favor of a NATIONAL PRIMARY. If every state held their primary on the same day, we wouldn't have to worry about whose vote would count more and whose wouldn't count at all. There'd be no question of whether delegates would be seated because of breaking party rules. And most importantly, we wouldn't have to deal with the sort of interminable circus of finger-pointing and pointless indignance that this race has become.

She wants your vote to count…but she also wants pledged delegates, that are pledged as a result of the voters, to change sides? Please, Hillary just wants to win, and she'll do whatever it takes to do so.

Obama 08′, GO AWAY CLINTONS.

I agree that the various advisers for both campaigns that have resigned shouldn't have had to do so. Things have gotten ridiculously out of hand in that department. There used to be a time when something that was a little over the line was said was remedied with an apology–not termination.

However, Bill's comments suggest that Hillary is somehow a victim in all of this. Best I can tell, she is giving as good as she is getting. Her campaign does have some momentum. However, I don't believe it is enough to give her the lead in the pledged delegate count. I believe she knows that. That is why she is reminding everyone, as often as she can, that pledged delegates aren't tied to the candidate they were awarded to in the primaries. That is the only way she will win the pledged delegate race. It also means the vote of the people is essentially meaningless, which is contrary to her position on the revotes in Michigan and Florida.

You tell 'em Bill !

Hilary is gonna win this thing - wait and see.

Bill now I beleive when your wife said that she didn't know that you were lobbying for dubai for the port deal. It looks like you don't know what she was telling and she doesnt know what you are telling. Is it a political trick?

"I don't think any of these people oughta be asked to resign"

What a total lack of values and morals. But hey, we knew that about Mr. Clinton already, didn't we?

At least Bill is willing to admit, He is willing to break the rules "occasional clipping", to gain any advantage he can. Maybe some people see this as strength? I see it as a credibility issue. How does one lead the county or the world be saying the ends justify the means?

The Truth Hurts…..actually yes. Edwards should have stayed in the race. If all of the states are supposed to have a say in who their POUS is, then it's not fair to the remaining states for any candidate to drop out prematurely. People are still voting for Hillary, people are also still voting for Edwards.

No candidate is doing our Country a favor by dropping out. If you enter to win, then stay in for the long haul. Don't just drop out b/c it's not looking favorable for you. That screams sore loser.

Hillary has lost this nomination. So the best thing for the Clintons is to "saddle up" and bow out gracefully with some dignity while they still can. If she keeps going forward even though she has lost, it may be true that Hillary is working on a 2012 strategy.

He's a liar and Iof course he wants dirty politics because this is all he knows. It works for those who are attracted to those type of lowly tactics.

Counting all votes and not just the votes for Hillary Clinton is something most democrats want. Be fair.

I'm sick of the despicable lies and half trues.
That's Clintonian politics for you.

Keep talking, Bill. It only helps Obama.

I didn't know any one asked those guy's to get out. John Edwards should have stayed in, Then Obama would have gotten out already. Come-on John get back in here and help Hillary knock this Bum out of politics. Let him go back on vacation for the rest of his life.

Tell them, Bill! Go Hillary!

Shut up, and go away cheaters and liars….

Every vote count? Didn't his wife say votes didn't matter this week when she said the pledged delegates, which were based on votes, didn't have to hold true to that vote at the convention? These lies, I mean, "misspoken words" are why I will never vote for a Clinton again. Their definition of "toughness" is not the same as America's! They equate cheating with toughness. Enough is Enough!

Our choices seem nothing more than two corrupt and power hungry liars. Choose the lesser evil? There are still states left to vote, and there are superdelegates that plan to vote against the wishes of the people. "Everyone is equal just some are more equal than others." This whole thing is reminding me of the pigs from Orwell's "Animal Farm."
Thank God, I'm an Independent free to decide my own future.

Good!
I have a straight question:
When you put on the table the BIG STATES argument, does that clearly mean that what people say in small states matters less or doesn't matter at all ???
Please explain me !!, I am a bit confused by all this stuff

Obama has a triple threat on his hands. Does it take all of these folks to prove that you're president worthy? To top it off you're still losing the race. I tip my hat to the Senator of Illinois.

Obama 08

If you sling mud, you have mud on your hands

So who is running again? Bill or Hillary? It is sometimes hard to remember. This will all be over soon as the Superdelegates are poised to back Obama. This will not go past North Carolina. She fought hard, but cannot win. For those who would jump party on either side, why wait? You can exit stage left now.

Good!

whammo!! Right on. Let's have the debate, and if it gets nasty, big deal? What's that compared to a recession?? What's that compared to war? What's that compared to a stock market crash? What's that compared to a family losing a loved one in Iraq?? Think about it people, Nancy Pelosi and Obama want to take away the RIGHT TO DEBATE in favor of a coronation. They want you to line up and raise you hand in salute! Have you noticed how those attack zombies from the Obama campaign sound like programmed robots? INDOCTRINACTION is key for Obama. They learned it from the master.

Bill Clinton for president. LOL, better yet Hillary Clinton for president.

Way to go Bill - you tell them.

Bill Clinton is just an idiot. I used to respect this guy, but now no way. He wants all this negativity to keep going? Especially when most of it is coming from his wife's corner?

Obviously, with this statement, the Clinton's don't give a 'riff' about the democratic party or America. Instead they only care about themselves. They only want to stay in this for their own reasons and they're selling this as, "Don't let them take this away from you."

Are you kidding me?

. . . Bill, you need to put a saddle on your wife and ride her home.

Obama 08.

Good!!

The candidate losing ALWAYS shouts about "voters rights".

The only thing new here is that, traditionally, if a candidate can't win, they pull a Romney and withdraw, give their support to someone else, and do it all for the good of the party.

Mark my words, even when it IS truly mathematically impossible, all votes are in, and all options are exhausted, the Clintons will STILL be disputing the outcome, screaming about rights.

Anyone want to take that bet?

Of course Billary says anything goes. When you are a Machevellian politician using every dirty trick and breaking every rule. You would love to throw out the rule books. Prediction. Just before the PA primary vote, Hillary will launch another dirty trick attack like she used to fool the voters in Ohio. Yesterday she first said we should heal the party. Then just hours later she brought up Rev. Wright to distract from her Bosnia sniper lie.

Bill for UN General Secretary!! Go Bill.

NOBAMA-MCAIN'T

He is right in what he says. And I know a lot of people hate him… mostly the ones who are jealous of his charismatic personality. The fact is that he was a President with a very charismatic personality, fewer catastrophic policies, and lesser stupidities than Bush.

No one man makes or breaks the country. Instead, the key to a successful President is good communication skills with a head on his/her shoulders. Again, the ones who will disagree with this Bill having good communications skills are the ones who are jealous.. that's all.

Amen to that Bill. The day that we silence people because we don't agree with them is the day this country dies. These people should not have been forced out by thier respective campaigns. If you can't take the heat stay out of the fire. This is a nomination process not a coronation. Let the voters decide who they want as their Democrat
nominee. No more backroom politics. Don't you hear us mighty
Delegates.

I guess Bill knows what he's talking about. He did say he wasn't having sex with "that woman".

Yea! Bill! Go after them. You tell them what democracy is all about! Wasn't it your camp that sued in Nevada to try to overturn what you'd already agreed to (when you thought it would advantage you) regarding letting the voters vote in Las Vegas. Wasn't it your camp that agreed that Florida and Michagan out to be punished for breaking the rules and then changed your mind (when you thought it would advantage you)

Hillary's gaining on who? Not anybody I know….

I love him.

Good!

Very well put Mr. President. Hillary '08 & '12

Is "having a voice in this election" and "having your vote count" in agreement with Hillary's suggestion that PLEDGED delegates should vote their own way, regardless of the voting outcome??

I'm trying to hear through this nonsense, but there are far too many contradictions. I hope everyone realizes that the Clintons are hiding behind "every vote counts" rhetoric, just as Obama uses "Hope and Change" rhetoric. Wake up, people. . .

You go Bill! All these Obama supporters cannot possibly be thinking of what will come if he's elected. Talk about affirmative action! They think they're going to get their comeuppance when one of their kind gets in. I shutter to think about it.

Just because politics has turned into a monday night wrestling cage match, doesn't mean it has to be that way. American Politics at one time was more sophisticated and civil. The degredation into what it is today is one of the reasons we're stuck with career politicians who happen to be the best at bullying and mudslinging. With that attitude, we should be at war with the world….oh wait we are. Hillary in 2008 for more of the same!!

Hillary is LUCKY that Obama wants a clean campaign. The Clintons have been nasty ever since South Carolina. If Obama had wanted to "beat up" the Clinton campaign, they could've stopped her a LONG time ago because there's so much smut on the Clintons, including Hillary. What I don't understand is how anyone can stomach the Clintons at all. But of course, Slick Willy will twist everything to make it look like poor little Hillary is being attacked.

This is the type of activity that has gotten the Clintons, and particularly Hillary, most of her negative marks. The voters in the states that violated the rules have no one but their party leaders to blame. If Florida and Michigan had played by the rules, they would have had a LOT to say about the election, instead of nothing. It's the same with the Clintons. If they can't win by playing by the rules, they try to change the rules.

I'd be happy to seat their delegations as long as 50% were pledged to Hillary and 50% were pledged to Barack. Hillary is willing to seat the delegates only if doing so benefits her. If it doesn't benefit her, she has no interest, just ask her. She would rather disenfranchise the voters than take a neutral position that seats the delegates equally.

Of course anyone would want his/her vote to be counted but the tone of the "argument" has gone negative and that is what voters don't want seeing of the two candidates of the same party doing. The Clintons can spin to make it look like it is business as usual but it is only usual for them to play dirty. There is something fliflop about on the one hand, saying votes must be counted then on the other, saying that pledged delegates can change their votes! So what did people wast time voting for? The pledged and super delegates just vote and ignore voters's wish!
Critisizing Hillary is "say bad thing about a girl?" Hillary, a girl? Gender card again? Oh yes, he knew they had use smoke and mirrors to make women think they are just like Hillary, having to fight to get ahead. But she will forget about them once she used them for her own purpose. Look at how she treated her supporters where she didn't win (SC), she didn't come on the night to thank them but if she won (FL), she came to thank them even the votes were not supposed to be counted (and she didn't protest when she agreed to it when she was the "inevitable") . Women didn't know that the way to get ahead like her is cling to his coattail? Or the thing she did to prove she is tough has been to defend Bill of what was indefensible? Listening to her recalling the trip to Tuzla, it was so real that I am very afraid if she should be the one to answer the phone at 3am.

LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LIARS LAIRS LAIRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It god if America go to monarchy,Clinton or Bush.
Mr Clinton you and your wife using very bloody and dirty gamsjust to continoue your monarchy.

Go away cheater, go away cheater. Americans 're tired of the same family, the same old Washington politicians, who lies and say anything to win election….shame.

Obama 08…Obama 08….

Do you think Hillary will divorce Bill after she loses?

THIS is why I'm a Clinton supporter.

Smoke and Mirrors, Bill. What he is really saying is superdelegates should overturn the pleged delegate outcome to favor HRC. OBAMA 08′

So, Bill, would that mean that Chelsea should just shrug off the questions about you and Monica? After all, though she is not campaigning for herself, she is putting herself out there, and as you said “If a football player doesn't want to get tackled or want the risk of an occasional clip he shouldn't put the pads on."

I agree Clinton's comments are spot on. If you can't handle the battle I say go home and Hillary certainly let's the world know she is tough and doesn't go on vacation during an election.

Well I would say dont lie or embelish the truth about sniper fire unless you want to be called on it either. Before the mudslinging I would have voted for Hillary had she won the nomination but she has lost that and going backwards in my opinion. I will continue to support Obama until the bitter end.

Obama 08

How can we end the election when NOBODY has the required number of delegates and there are still primaries to be held?!

That is just a ridiculous argument and, frankly, I think it is deceitful in the fact that it is attempting to disenfrnchise voters.

Its not like Obama is way out ahead or even proved he can win a big state. I know for myself, I want a candidate that is strong with the traditional base of the Democratic Party because it is an energized base that will outnumber the Republicans, along with independents sick of the war and failed ecomonic policies of Republiucans that will carry the Democratic nominee to victory in November.

IMO, that candidate is clearly Hillary.

Always pointing that finger when he speaks. Condescending man.

This is outright damage to the Democratic party. The Clintons do not care if they damage the party or not. Though it is obvious that Hillary will not have enough delegates to persuade superdelegates to support her. Why all of this cat fight?

"Apparently it's okay to say bad things about a girl"?

Is he trying to imply it -isn't-?

So much for her election being a grand leap forward for feminism.

“if a politician doesn't wanna get beat up, he shouldn't run for office.”

The same rule should apply to those who campaign for a candidate, you and your daughter included, Mr. President. Your daughter's artful dodge of the question regarding one of your numerous indiscretions is another why I can't stand your family. You talk out of both sides of your mouth.

“Apparently it's okay to say bad things about a girl."

See, now you've gone and contradicted yourself again, Bill. Which is it? Do politicians need to be tough, or should they take it easy on a girl?

Alright! Way to go Bill! Hillary IS vetted, just look at her experience under fire!!! Psssht, please.

Go away cheater, go away liar.
Obama 08…

Guarantee Bill wouldn't be voicing this opinion if the roles were reversed. He would be out there saying that Obama should drop out. This is typical Clinton politics. They'll do anything to win even if they have no shot. Watch, this a prelude to more mud slinging on behalf of the Clinton campaign.

Bill should just go away. His sexual misconduct was the sole reason that the country has had to endure 8 years of Bush. Now, he wants a chance at a third term. No thanks.

There is no "Back Down" for Bill or Hillary. And Thank God for that! Keep fighting the forces of bigotry Bill. You and Hillary are the true American heroes!

Former President Clinton is exactly right. Those people shouldn't have been asked to resign because we have seen worst things said on TV and by the opposing sides from all the nominees.
But with Obama and Clinton still in the race…I wonder if this might divide the party and end with Clinton or Obama running with or without the parties approval by dividing the ticket. We will see in August how things go down in Denver.

Bills comment "If a politician doesn't wanna get beat up, he shouldn't run for office,” should include supporters of these politicans then? Because then it's open season on Chelsa for being snippy when asked the Monica question ,and Chelsas reply was 'none of your business' hmmmmm EXCUSE ME,Chelsas Mom & Dad were in OUR WHITE HOUSE when the incident happened ,AMERICANS payed their rent,bills and fed them ,so IT IS OUR BUSINESS.Sure hope Chelsa can take the tough beatings in the sport of political mud throwing….

I hope that I am not understanding Bill Clinton incorrectly, but it seems that he does not care what type of damage this ongoing debacle will cause to the Party. Also is he trying to instill fear/anger in the voter as if they are are not cared about or their votes are not important?

Also what momentum is he alluding to? I guess the way you look at things determine was you see.

Well said President Clinton. I couldn't agree with you more. Obama have already succeeded disenfranchising voters for Michigan and Florida. We can't allow him to do this to our fellow Americans who have yet to cast their vote this primary.

I still don't know who to vote for, one thing for sure, I'd vote for a dog for President over Obama.

Wow! Here I thought it was about doing what is best for the country. I did not realize this was JUST about winning.

Mr. Clinton sounds like he is running for President himself. Why can't Hillary speak for herself. Mr. Clinton need to stay the hell out of his wife campaign. I guess she can't handle the heat and stress of her own negative tactics and her husband steps in. GO OBAMA!!!

I am definitely with you on this one, Bill! You've been a great President and I totally respect you and your words. You've done a great job as our President and given us a healthy economy with surpluses. I remember those were good times! I am now voting for Hillary because I know with her eight years as a Senator and her years as the First Lady, she will be ready on day one and be one of the greatest presidents as well.

Clinton is the masterful politician that always shines through in speech. The issue this time is that politics seem to be taking on a different hue. The youth in this country are turning politics around for a different game plan Mr. President. The youth in this country are tired of playing politics as usual with the same results. It might not have occurred to you yet, but the people of this great nation are tired of old mud and slush politics because it has not been of benefit to us. Politicians get richer and we still struggle. The people in WV can tell you loud and clear about that struggle. The lies, promises, glut of values and unethical people in public office may be seeing their last days as old line politicians.

Yeah, but the problem is that both candidates are exactly the same on all the issues……so this whole campaign comes down to a bunch of nonsense that is dividing the party. Honestly, when you have the Clinton campaign come out and say stuff like "the caucuses disproportionately favor upper-income voters who, don't really need a president but feel like they need a change."……… how do you expect to unite the party for November???? Minnesota votes for Obama, so apparently we are a bunch of over-educated boutique latte-sipping Democrats…..so we don’t really count? We're too smart to know who to vote for? I'm pretty sure every time a Minnesota national guardsman comes home from Iraq in a box, his family isn't thinking "we don't need a president"

I Heart Bill!!!

They see her gaining ground and they want to hold her back. Its OK, because she is a women. NO ITS NOT!

Obama - America doesn't want you! Go AWAY!!!

Bill is right. Never quit. We won't let you go till you fight to the end. You will win. Go Hillary.

How PATHETIC is this dude???????????

Thats right Bill!!!! I don't want to hear anymore about who is ahead in this race unless we are going to give Hillary the votes she earned in Florida and Michigan. She has won the most popular vote and the most delegates. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid can shove it if they don't like it.

What is divisive?

“Let’s just saddle up and have an argument. What’s the matter with that? That’s what America’s about, right?” — the words of Bill Clinton.

The Clinton campaign is full of madness: Lie, sabotage, and then defend your methods.

THIS IS DIVISIVE!!!! But all you Clinton supporters call Obama divisive because the MEDIA was running clips of Rev. Wright. Obama never said one divisive thing, but because he defends himself against the Clinton rhetoric he's divisive.

You people need to get your heads examined if you think this is what America is all about.

I wonder how Mr. Clinton's comments would change if Hillary was ahead by nearly 200 delegates? Just the usual crying foul when they are getting attacked while at the same time committing all penalties that could be committed.

Hillary supporter Mr. Carville the other day was using a basketball game analogy for his support of seating Michigan and Florida. In that analogy, he was crying that the Obama campaign is trying to end the game when there are 3 minutes left… I guess someone forgot to tell him Florida and Michigan got fouled out after not playing by the rules of the game.

The race is over & Obama has crossed the finish line ahead. Let the Clintons run till the end but do so knowing they have finished second.

He said, she said… its all part of the Old politics. I hear you Bill, but then again, it would appear to me that your talking out of the corner of your mouth. You claim your gaining ground but yet you (the Clintons) have your backers kicking Nancy around for stating her position which falls inline with the democratic idea of an election. If the situation was reversed you would be taking a different positon all together, it would be nice if you (the Clintons) too the high road for a change and stuck to one position instead of all this hoopla flip flop stuff your pulling.
Granted both candidates have said a lot of stuff I am sure each wish they could unsay, it's all part of the game, but lets play by one rule book that remains consistant and not a rule book that you seem to believe you can change when ever the need suits your situation.
Just remember your wifes words, delegates can vote for who ever they want in November, do you really want to take the that chance, it could go against you instead of for you.

GREAT COMMENTS PRESIDENT W. CLINTON……..

We are not in a hurry to end the primaries……. Every vote should count, even Florida and Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama osey..yiee…
please take another vacation. You need to be well-rested before you take on McCain's narrow talk express bus..

Go OBAMA '08

Everything Bill said is true,but HIllary's campaign crossed a line when they essentially endorsed McCain over Barack. HIllary would not be where she is if it wasn't for name recognition. The Democratic party is imploding because the Clintons are not having their way. I'll vote for Hillary if I have to, because her policies are better than McCain, but I still think she is a horrible person. I used to care, now I don't. Thanks a lot Clintons.

The DNC is taking away people's right to vote for who THEY want to vote for.

Hillary can't win. The math is NOT there. Bill & Hillary Clinton are tearing the Democratic party apart. They should fold and go home.

Bye.

Yeah Yeah Yeah! If you can't take the heat, get Obama outta the kitchen! Hillary 08

You're the First Man, Bill! Hillary in N.C.! MY VOTE SHOULD COUNT TOO!!!

So now poor Hillary is just a girl.

Yet she has the experience to be Commander-in-Chief and answer the 3 AM call (though she may misspeak because she could be "sleep deprived".

Illegal "clipping" has left people maimed for life.
Just as the poor judgment to authorize this war has helped to take 4,000 lives.

That's not what America is about to me, how about you?

True, I guess. But as a commenter on another blog I read put it: “Most football players don’t count on being on the receiving end of personal fouls committed by other members of their own team.”

I agree that all people should have a chance to vote that's what we will do. However it is just postponing the inevitable that Obama will win the delegate count and end up even more than he leads now.

I absolutely agree, Bill. Everyone should have a voice in this primary and nobody has the right to say who should quit in the middle of race. I remember Kings' game where they were blanked out for two periods, losing 7 to 0. Third period Kings came back won 8 to 7. If someone said quit the game after two periods, Kings would never have the chance to comeback and win. Obama, you wouldn't be where you are if you said what you knew about Rev. Wright. It is also true, superdelegates can do whatever they want to do unless you change the rule again. Why have the superdelegates if they nothing but the dumb follower. Unless we change the rule by choosing our nominee based on popular votes, Obama has nothing to say. Count the Michigan and Florida and lets see after Pennsylvania who has the most popular votes. Should Clinton, then ask you to stop running so that she can be the nominee. I am sure you would be crying foul.

Way to go, Bill. I agree with everything that you said.

Quit blaming the DNC and Obama for Michigan and Florida. Those voters only have their elected officials to blame. In Florida, the Republican governor and legislature are the people who should be taking the heat as they moved up the primary date.

Hillary had no problem with the excluding Michigan and Florida when she was the presumptive nominee. Now that she has fallen behind she all of a sudden cares about disenfranchising voters.

its over Bill lay on your sword!

Technically Bill, this morning when she said that the delegates could vote however they wanted to reguardless of the outcome of previous primaries, she advocated the disenfranchisement of every state that has held their primary already. So which is it? Do you want to count the votes or would you rather just let the delegates in power decide like you said this morning?

Jeeze the Clintons are a confusing bunch of gangsters.

Enough with FL and MI….The states decided their fates long ago and everyone agreed with those decisions.

Now one question….

If Clinton was in Obama's position….that being in the lead. He would have been put out of this election months ago. Why is it that since she is behind, the democratic party has to be held hostage.

This crap is just ridiculous….I have always voted democrat but honestly after this crap. I don't know what party I am….I do know that I want no part of this mess.

Simply ridiculous….

This isn't about clipping or an argument. On the playing field there are also rules. You are taught to play the game honestly and learn to win and lose with dignity and to show good sportsmanship. Florida and Michigan did not play by the rules and thus experienced disqualification. North Carolina would have loved an earlier primary date too, but chose to play by the rules. Our delegates will be rightfully seat at the convention. You don't get to change the rules after the game has started. Accept your defeat with some measure of dignity.

What Bill Clinton said is very very right - after all he is one of thegreat American Presidents - if you are going to be a "cry baby" you should have kept away from a hard and long political battle. Its all about democracy - let the contest for the nominee continue and let the rest of the country have its say - specially when two of the larger state have been deprived of their democratic right in voting for their nominee.

Sheesh, I sure hope Senator Clinton does not stop! If she does not get the nomination I will not vote for McCain. I simply won't vote.The way you Men cover this campaign is unreal! It is clear you must be Obama supporters and that Cafferty man, seems to have problem with women in general.. This is 2008. If you covered the Obama "lies" like you do Clintons it would be little more fair. Obama has lied about teaching at the University and making legislation and STILL contiunes to defend Rev. Wright and gives him money to support his crazy views. Read Obama's books. He clearly lied when he said he never heard Wright's views before. He wrote about them in his books. I know that most are afraid of saying anything negative for the "race " card to be played. Why is it that African Americans can voice their opinion and white America cannot. If whites dare to disagree you have people like Roland and Cafferty etc. calling us racists. Please guys stop being so partial to Obama. Why not talk about Michele Obama's remarks about America ( which coincides with Wright's view) instead of asking a daughter how her mother felt about her father having an affair. I mean wow, this was in the 90's. How would Chelsea know what her mother thought. I was 17 years old when President Clinton was elected and Chelsea was younger.I only wish there was a news channel that really was "FAIR and BALANCED." P.S. Wolf has stepped it up some. He is not as partial on most things to Obama as he was month or so ago. Thanks Guys for putting my two cents in.

YES… let the people vote… in every state…the media needs to get out of the way of the people.
Thanks for taking this head on.

Bill Clinton is a liar and an idiot. If not for the internet boon of the 90's her would be one of the worst, most disgraceful presidents ever. Just sit down, shut up , and play with your cigars you moron.

Excellent - the Clinton philosophy is elucidated: Politics is a contact sport.

I guess there is no room for values, morals, ideas, leadership, vision, consensus, collaboration, etc.

Frankly, I will not vote for a contentious candidate.

all the Clintons care about is the Clintons. If Hillary was ahead Bill's tone and speak would be completely different. Since she is behind it is anything goes, unless Obama's camp says something then Hillary comes out saying that she can't believe that someone that preaches hope could ever say anything negative. The Clintons are ALL hypocrites including their "dotting" daughter. The response to the question yesterday was ridiculous! she is campaigning for her mother therefore she is fair game for ANY questions that could be asked of the candidate. Like HER father said basically if she can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen or if you can't answer the tough questions don't go out on the campaign trail. BY the way how is asking if Hillary's reputation was damaged not "any of your business" her response is completely out of context.
The biggest problem of all is that the Clintons think that there is a double standard for them, have Americans really forgotten what the Clintons are like?????????

Mr. Clinton, why are you so angry? Like Mr. Bill Richardson said, the Clintons think they have a sense of entitlement to the Whitehouse. You look like a fool. GO OBAMA!

. . .Bill, even the best race horse knows when its over.

Obama 08.

"If a politician doesn't wanna get beat up, he shouldn't run for office,” the former president said in Parkersburg, West Virginia. “If a football player doesn't want to get tackled or want the risk of an occasional clip he shouldn't put the pads on."

So does that mean Hillary stops playing the "poor me, the media is being rough on me because I am a girl" card? Or that every time the Obama camp says something not completely glowing of her then her supporters need to shut it as well?

I am just saying what is good for the goose should be good for the gander and if you say something about taking hits then it should apply to both politicians.

Send that redneck home. His day is done.

Goodness!!!! Can't he understand that it's his wife that's supposed to be running. That has been my biggest issue. He's too much in the scene. Hillary wants to include all the "experience" she claims from his administration and then refer to everything as "the clintons". It's Hillary that's running. Not him. I can't see her for him therefore I can't vote for her. He overshadows her.

Why are people expecting Hillary to bow out when neither of the candidates will have the numbers to win the nomination? Just because Obama is currently ahead, it doesn't mean he earns anything over Clinton. Just a reminder, he has not reached the magic number. Let the remaining states cast their votes.

Both clintons bring out the worst in America.
Imagine what they can accomplish (negatively) getting back in the white house …
The good, the truth, the right candidate will prevail as the DEM nominee and it won't be a woman, thank goodness.
The American people don't need another liar holding office, the highest office in the nation.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has created so much new karma for herself during this campaign, how much more can her female body withstand?

Go Bill!

Obama had things go too smooth for him during most of the campaign and as soon as he hit a rough patch…he nearly took a fall face first.

If he can't handle it….he shouldn't even be running.

Would Bill be saying this if his wife was ahead in total delegates and popular vote? I doubt it. I also remember his wife's campaign whining about comments made by the Obama camp screaming for people to resign and Hillary herself wagging her finger at Obama in front of the cameras.

It's not fun being second and finishing second in a primary and it's something the Clinton's aren't accustomed to. I think they better get used to the idea of being 2nd means you lose.

Also, Obama is an upstart and he knows his place, so he has not gone after Hillary as aggressively as he could, because he respects the party. So don't say he doesn't have the stones, because you're just insulting his intelligence and his respect for the party that has made him who he is. The Clintons obviously have no respect for anything.

when you are behind you will do anything to get back on top is the wrong think for the country. we should come together hillary has lost enough is enough take vp role and unite dems. lets get bushism out of white house

Under the Bill rules of war. Little Chelsea better buck up and take it when a college kid asks her about Daddy and his sleazy affairs.

So illegal activity is ok Bill?

What a putz. We have a president with 'backbone' and who we'd like to have a beer with, look where that got us! Calling names and making false accusations does nothing to bring people in to the process and better our party!
Nobody wants to disenfranchise voters but Hillary, now she says pledged delegates aren't really 'pledged'. So why have millions voted if the pledged delegates didn't have to pay attention to the vote?

This is getting down right SILLY!

I take this to mean we have thrown the kitchen sink and it didn’t do the trick, so standby for the bathtub and everything else in the trailer.

AGREE! I wish you could run again! I know a lot of people around the world still loves and respect you. Until candidates have 2025 delegates the process must go on.

Lets have a argument that you are loosing and you are stopping your own party leader in the nomination , that you cannot catch because you don't have Michigan and Florida in play no more, and lets blame obama for that. but if the superdelagates overturn the same will of the 39 other states that choose Obama … your not going to tell me that that is not disenfranchising the voters
i guess HRC is really is seeing celestial clouds and angels lol..

Thats how I sound when Im losing and the clock is running out

Democracy First writes: "…so the process continues according to party rules"

Really. Since when has the Clinton campaign followed party rules??? They agreed to DNC rule that FL & MI would not count…oops, changed their mind. They sent a staff person to stand over the shoulder of our convention secretary and wrote down the name of every pledged delegate from my county convention in Iowa on March 15th…for what? Am I going to get a Christmas card from Clinton when I'm an Edwards delegate? Hold on….before you have a snappy little reply…they wrote down all the Obama delegates as well. They lie constantly (Bosnian sniper fire anyone) and will do ANYTHING to win and in the process all Democrats lose. How sad that anyone could support the likes of her.

I agree, the fight should go on… even if Clintons advisor's admit she only as a 5-10% chance of getting the nomination… keep going is what I say… and keep getting deeper into the gutter… this is about you Hillary…. don't give up girl (even though you're a woman and I wish people would realize that and stop using such a belittling term.)

For those of you who think Obama isn't tough enough… Well, here he is at the end of March… standing toe-to-toe with the toughest tag-team in modern day politics and though it's not over, he's ahead on points according to the judges. He looks pretty tough to me.

My money is that he'll be standing ahead at the end. However, I also believe (sadly) that the tag-team will have so damaged him that we'll end up getting four more years of McBush.

“Saddle up”?
I’m not even going to take the bait on that one Billy.

But I will say - I disagree. That is not what America is about Mr. Clinton. Maybe that’s what it used to be about in your day. But the sun has set on that cowboy - a new day is dawning for America.

A day when politicians spend more brain power on solving problems and bringing people together, rather than acting like children and trying to best each another with punchlines, soundbites and cliches.

I would expect better from a Rhodes Scholar

Go Bill!

Just say no to the "Glitterati". Let the process run its course.

No vote should be suppressed!

"say bad things about a girl"? Is that how Bill wants his wife viewed? I guess that it's OK then, conversely, for a girl to say bad things …cuz she sure says a lot of them.

"Wouldn't you like to vote and have your votes counted?" …well, yes! Apparently Bill is not quite in tune with the rest of Hillary's campaign who are now saying that it's OK for them to try to get the pledged delegates (who are supposed to represent how we voted) to change sides and vote how they wish.

By the way, regarding delegates who switch at the convention, according to the DNC rules, if a candidate suspects that any of their pledged delegates will switch sides during the convention then they are allowed to bar that delegate from voting for any candidate. …but I'm sure that Hillary will find a way to change that rule too.

Or we could put some respect back into politics so voters won't be turned off and may just want to participate. Whats wrong with sticking to the issues for once? Might actually learn what a candidate stands for.

I'm not sure what Pres. Clinton is talking about. As I understand it, the remaining primaries would be counted. The folks in the remaining primary states would cast their votes. The question is, after the 10 or so remaining primaries, the suggestion was to have a pre-convention convention so that a final decision could be made. The so-called super-delegates who decide at that time who they are voting for. After this process, a candidate would be idenfitied as the nominee. This way, all would be decided pre-November. This would give the moninee a couple of months to battle one-on-one against McCain …

Yes!!!!! This is the kind of BACKBONE the democrats need in the White House - not someone who can't even stand up to his racist, anti american preacher!

Barack can't win the general election and everyone know's it. The sad thing is that Nancy Pelosi and friends would rather throw the election than stand up and do wha'ts right.

If we knew about Baracks poor judgement a few months ago, he would have never won so many states! Us Democrats aren't crazy, we would have never voted for him if we knew that kind of people he surrounds himself with!

Go Hillary - DONT LET THEM STEAL THIS NOMINATION FROM US!!!

You think we are going to accept this, two of the biggest states not having their votes counted? This party does not belong to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, Howard Dean is a disaster for this party, they have done this and they will live with whatever happens because of it. But mark my words, if they want a fight, we are ready to have one.

Fine let's take off the gloves and open up everything! I'm all for a good fight, granted I prefer it be about the issues, but since Billy-boy brought it up, the media should stop treating Hillary with kid-gloves and really lay into her…I mean they certainly have for Barack!

So let's reexamine why you were impeached, let's look at all the scandals you and your wife have been involved in (Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Cattle Futures trading, your Ukranine deal, Clinton v. Paul, Clinton v. Jones, etc)! Let's be open and start this "clipping" fest!

Why won't you release your tax returns? How about your library donations? Why can't your wife list the millions in pork barrel projects she's received? For that matter Chelsea should be able to answer questions from supporters of her mom, no matter how tasteless. Let's question why Hillary has to lie about her experience to feel good about it. Let's talk to your pastor (do you have one?) and analyze words from his sermons. Let's figure out why supporters of the Clintons must feel the need to lie about Obama.

If you want a fight and want to bloody the candidates even further let's go! May the best man/woman win…I'm certainly confident that HE will!

I give Hillary credit for being ambitious. I actually liked her until her true nature began to show. I can see her having no problem letting Bill pull the strings in the White House and taking the credit for it. Its been the trend of her career thus far.

Would you like still vote Hillary if Bill had divorced her and not supported her candidacy?

I wouldn't….

I think that what Bill means is that a Hillary supporter who goes “off message” should not need to resign, but an Obama supporter who goes “off message” should. That is why James Carville calling Richardson a “Judas” on the record i
