But seriously, whats the point? She may win the "battle" but, unless there is some backdoor deal, she'll lose the "war". The Clintons are only helping John McCain, now.

Wow! Bill Clinton impeachement = Hillary Lies. It get no better then this.

If according to the Clintons and superdelegates who are so afraid of the Clintons to ask them to drop out, the race should drag on for a few more months because they may win the next few states or the votes in those states will be disenfranchised? As I understand it, primaries/caucuses are for ELIMINATION. If at this point in time, Obama got more votes, more delegates and more states but that is still not enough to eliminate the Clintons then we should call back everyone on the ballot list at the beginning (Dodd, Richardson, Edwards,…) so that people who want to vote for them would not be disenfranchised?
The only reason the Clintons are still in the race is not as they spinned (disenfranchised voters) but for their own ambition to have a third term presidency (you can bet on it the way Bill going on in the campaign). They are still go all out with their dirty stricks to eliminate Obama at the expense of their own party for the sole reason: to prepare for their run in 2012. At that time, hopefully more people would find the Clinton repulsive after this year race and not vote for them. It would be ashamed for the USA to have such a president.
They are acting like the drug-finding dog who wouldn't drop the cocaine bag!

I agree. I don't know what everyone is getting so worked up about. How can knowing the truth about candidates be damaging? WE NEED TO KNOW AS MUCH AS WE CAN ABOUT THESE PEOPLE and there is nothing wrong with that. The continuation of this process is not dragging people's names through the mud. It is allowing people, in almost every state, to make informed choices.

People do need to calm down and realize this is the best way to bring democrats together–allowing everyone to feel like he is part of the process.

what clintoon meant was let The Hillary lie some more so they both can feel comfortable with what she does well.

Sure do that, it won't natter she will lose just the same and then Obama is the man, not Clinton.

It is unamerican, unpatriotic and undemocratic for Leahy and some of his croonies to ask Hillary to quit the race. I will only remain a Democrat, if Hillary is the nominee, otherwise, I'm voting for Nader or McCain. The DNC is a mess.

Bill, you are right, let the process go, let ALL the people be counted.

How dare these obama supporters say that he is the unifier. he is a coward, he wants things serve in silver plater.

CNN, PLEASE POST MY COMMENTS.

I think Hillary is just poised to destroy the party, and deep down her heart she knows that she cannot win. This is a dangerous tactic because she is not only losing her credibility but also losing her future chances of ever getting the party's nomination for the presidency. I think Bill is WRONG and should stop making a fool out of his wife because everything is in BLACK and WHITE unless both Clintons are color blind.

Maybe we really are 3rd world.

Lets let Oprah, the Kennedys, celebrities, the DNC, Howard Dean and the media select and install the nominee of the democratic party.

I think only democrats should vote in the democratic party primaries.

I think the votes of democrats in two very key states should be counted.

I'm Catholic, Leahy doesn't swade me at all. I really don't understand why he did. I guess for recognition. It will not have an impact on what Catholic voters think. Hillary still has the best message on abortion than any of the presendential candidates and yes, I think it because she is a women. Abortion should be safe, legal, AND RARE!!!! This has been her stance for longer than she's been in the Senate. It's a message Catholics can respond to.

HILLARY 08

Why are Obama and his cronies trying to disenfranchise voters not only in Florida and Michigan, but also PA, NC, Indiana, Puerto Rico, Oregon and the other remaining states. Well, it's typical Obama tactics to win. "Obama has a history of ruthless and dirtly politics: From a story about how he first gained public office in the Illinois State Senate: (Chicago Tribune April 4, 2007): The day after New Year's 1996, operatives for Barack Obama filed into a barren hearing room of the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. There they began the tedious process of challenging hundreds of signatures on the nominating petitions of state Sen. Alice Palmer, the longtime progressive activist from the city's South Side. And they kept challenging petitions until every one of Obama's four Democratic primary rivals was forced off the ballot. His overwhelming legal onslaught signaled his impatience to gain office, even if that meant elbowing aside an elder stateswoman like Palmer. A close examination of Obama's first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: The man now running for president on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. One of the candidates he eliminated, long-shot contender Gha-is Askia, now says that Obama's petition challenges belied his image as a champion of the little guy and crusader for voter rights. "He talks about honor and democracy, but what honor is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?" Had Palmer survived the petition challenge, Obama would have faced the daunting task of taking on an incumbent senator. Palmer's elimination marked the first of several fortuitous political moments in Obama's electoral success: He won the 2004 primary and general elections for U.S. Senate after tough challengers imploded when their messy divorce files were unsealed. Hence, his rapid ascent to power…" P.S. Where is Michelle Obama these days, haven't heard from her since all this Rev. Wright stuff hit the media.

Since Bill Richardson, a super delegate did not go with the popular vote of his state, New Mexico she is not getting a fair deal and should fight until the bitter end and not listen to any statements from senators or anyone else that are unfair and bias in their opinions! Let me not hear again these supet delegates should go with the poplar vote, they are not. Where does old Ted stand in this now since she won his state as well.

I am so mad at the DNC

for rigging this election.
for disenfranchising the base.
for not counting the votes in two really important states.
for building up Obama.
for bashing Clinton.

That i will vote democratic only for Hillary.

I will work to get everyone I know to participate in a boycott the vote if Obama is the nominee.

Us lifelong democrats still have some clout and we do not believe in rigging elections.

OBAM CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT TO NATIONAL MATURITY!

JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO HE SAID IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO BOMB A NUCLEAR ARMED ALLIE(HOSTILE TRIBES IN NORTHERN PAKISTAN).

WE ALL KNOW ONLY HILLARY CAN BEAT MCCAIN! VOTE TO WIN THINK!

And more high profile dems- such as Murtha, Wes Clark, Ed Rendell, etc etc - support her and want her to stay in.

Why does the media even publish these guy's comments? Of course Obama supporters are going to say Clinton should drop out. I think the only reason the media publishes these comments is because they are a biased a Leahy, but don't want to admit that by saying Clinton should drop out themselves.

Absolutely. Like Clinton, Obama cannot get enough delegates either. With the numbers of earned delegates so close to each other between the 2 candidates, why did not these people call for Obama to quit? Both candidates need additional votes from the superdelegates in order to get enough votes. There are 10 more states and millions of voters who have not voted. Why should Clinton quit, not Obama?

Yeah, she "might win" them all, so what? She still won't have caught up with Obama……then what?

The problem with the scenerio of just waiting til the convention is that the Dems are at eachother's throats already and getting very fatigued and tired of it all. The argument that it makes for a better Dem candidate in the fall is nonsense. The only candidate it makes "better" is John McCain. Plus, this idea of letting all the states vote…..voters need to "have their say" is also nonsense. This is not the GENERAL ELECTION……it's a primary and in most years gone by, many of the states weren't not even involved. Get Real!

Supers…end this thing ASAP so we CAN move on the begin to unify and beat John McCain in the fall. PLEASE!

"""Bill"""
You are a true Dem.
And be sure, your dear wife Hillary will be the Leader of this Country.

Yes, let the primaries continue to the very end, then count the votes. While your at it count Florida and Michigan.

A democratic ticket without Hillary is a certain loss in Nov.

We lifelong democrats are organizing the boycot of the democratic party in Nov right now.

We will not tolerate it when our own party disenfranchises its base and swiftboats it best candidate.

So who's running for president here? Bill or Hillary. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

It is like Pepsi telling Coke to quit.
This is the first time that many of states votes actually matter in picking the nominee. There has been record turnouts and this is free press. Ending the race now would be like silencing the remaining voters and telling them that their votes don't matter. Neither canidate will get enough delegates anyway so why silence voters.

Dean, Leahy and DNC will send another Republican to the White. Count the votes and delegates from Florida and Michigan. Let the primary take care of the system that you guys created. Hillary has every right to stay on, same with the people that voted in Florida and Michigan

I think it's a desperate move to end it the primaries so they can lock in the nomination. If they are so confident about their chances then what is there to worry about? Let the people vote. Not only are they trying to silence Florida and Michigan, but also all the other states like Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. It would be a bigger turn off to voters to shut out those states from voting.

Bill Clinton is right. You Leahy (white) still do not know what was happening in America?

If Obama cheats to win the nomination- it is no win at all.

Disenfranchise millions of Hillary voters just to install Obama as the nominee.

Hand the nomination to the guy that wins the caucuses ( a few get to vote) but loses the primaries (where many get to vote).

Yep that will serve the party well in Nov.

I have no problem with the two political stars on the same team running up the point total against the OPPOSITION in a long democratic primary season. But, to commit fouls against one another is simply stupid, and we all know who is to blame for it. It is the underdog's choice to be graceful while presenting the voters with an alternative, or else to go down flailing like a desperate drowning rat trying to grab onto whatever it can and pull it down with it.

Clinton is actually in a tight situation politically as she knows she will eventually lose but is trying to maintain her political capital for a future run for President. In considering her future, Clinton does not want to be seen as weak, so she must attack. She does not want to be seen as a quitter so she must stay in it. So it goes on and on so long as it is a mathematical deadlock, albeit stacked heavily against her. The only way that I can see her being presented with an acceptable exit strategy would be for enough superdelegates to endorse such that the choice for president is returned to the people by erasing the mathematical deadlock. If the superdelagates would endorse 50/50 then lets see how much longer Senator Clinton decides to stay in it when the path for the nomination is a 70% popular vote sweep of the remaining states and NOT a manipulation of the superdelegates. Suddenly staying in it would not help her political future and she would now be in a losing argument vs the people of America and no longer in a political chess match using superdelegates as pawns.

Since most of the democratic establishment openly states that they "would be happy with either candidate" then I would like to challenge them to return the choice of the democratic candidate to the people of America and ENDORSE NOW so that this mathematical stalemate is removed!

Amen Mr. President. I want Hillary to go all the way to the convention floor.
Help Wanted Experience Needed

You tell 'em Bill. This is democracy at work. If Obama supporters didn't think that Hillary might win, they wouldn't be asking Hillary to step down.

Go away Bill, think about your legacy.

that's right bill, I'm from PA and hillary is ahead by double digits in the polls here. She will definitely win PA and win big. Maybe after PA obama should drop out, because he can't carry big must win states for the democrats to win in november. He can't even beat hillary in must win states, let alone mccain.

I can not possibly perceive that anyone could believe that Hillary Clinton's concern is what is best for the Democratic Party. She obviously thinks we are really naive. Florida, Michigan, and Clinton violated party rules and determined the current reason for no vote, not Barack Obama, since their would have been no need when waiting your proper turn. The party nomination has become much like kiddy playground with hitting and hiding, throwing dirt, not wanting to play fair, and crying when losing, and we know the major culprit. I personally am ashamed. Then on top of it we women have this election year which will be a laughing stock.. not because she was not a viable candidate but because of toddler antics. WOMEN WILL HAVE THIS CAMPAIGN SCRIBBLED IN OUR HISTORY, FOREVER.. GOD I HOPE IT STOPS. SHE CANNOT WIN OBAMA HAS ALREADY GOT THE NUMBERS. HER LAST ANTIC IS PRETENDING OR IS SHE SINCE REGRESSION SOMETIMES COMES WITH AGE THAT SHE CANNOT SEE HER LOSING POSITION. TODDLER OR NO TODDLER SHE CAN COUNT.

Bill Clinton should understand that his words no longer hold water , especially for Christians who believe in truths. He lied under oath; his wife lied about her foreign policy experiences. The House of Clinton is a house full of lies.

Obama would not be dropping out now. These comments are just political pressure and political insecurity on the part of those who are supporting Obama. I agree with Bill, let the process happen.

And, on the above ticker piece . . . I couldn't help but chuckle that Wright was celebrating Maya Angelou's birthday - she is a vocal supporter of Sen. Clinton!

I also agree with Bill, the Obama supporters need to be quite and let the contest go to the end before calling on anyone to quit. No one tells the Indy 500 to stop before it is finished, so why shouldn't the supporters for Obama just keep their mouths shut and let the contest go on!

Obama supporters are dumb and blind, just like the "Pied Piper" and those that are following blindly after Obama.

WAKE UP AMERICA! Let us all get behind Hillary and push her over the finish so that she will be able to beat McCain in November and become our next President!

Bill is right.

LEAHY is an Idiot and needs NOT to be addressed. Win or lose this election needs to be played out to the end. Way to go Bill, the greatest President this Nation has ever had. Obama will be like Bush 4 years from now you'll be wishing you'd never heard of him. And, finding the ones who voted for him IMPOSSIBLE> HILLARY 08

HANG IN THERE HILLARY!!!!!

I agree with President Clinton….and even if Senator Obama ends up taking the nomination, at least there will have been a little more time to properly find out about any more unknowns floating around out there. Hillary Clinton is still the most qualified candidate when all is said and done.

The longer her surrogates allow her to think she can still somehow win and not tear the party apart, the worse this is going to get. It's like tearing a bandage off a partially healed wound, and she wants to take 3 more months to pull.

Last time Bill said: Hillary needs to win Texas and Ohia big to stay in. Well she didn't. It is time for Hillary to start winning by big, big margins.

Hmmm… maybe John Edwards should have been "more relaxed." Had he known the primary would continue through June - he probably would have stay in. Too bad he didn't get the memo.

Come to think of it, why don't the Clintons "relax" about Michigan and Florida. Relax, Bill. Everything will work out.

I love Bill, can't he run again - please?!?!?!

Bill Clinton just needs to go sit down somewhere, every time he speaks he sounds sillier and sillier. I mean you would think HE was running for President and not his wife. I mean does that sound like Bill, ah hell yeah!

Bill really loves being in the limelight. I mean the Clintons are ALL about them. Let there be NO doubt. The Clintons does NOT give a hoot about anybody but themselves. This is the same mentality that Bush has, that no one else matters except that he thinks and says, even though he comes off sounding like a complete IDIOT!!!

Hillary has a very condesending demeanor about her, have you noticed how many times she uses her pointing fingers whenever she speaks? AND her tone during her speeches. It's not a "sincere" tone, she has a sort of a "I'm telling YOU" this is how it's gonna be tone whenever she speaks and I think it does NOT go off well. She's also always pointing her finger at the audience as if she is scolding them rather than speaking to them. I find that very stand-offish. Hillary's people skills are NOT very good.

bill is right. relax and shut your mouths. before the last two elections the primaries OFTEN went to the convention!

get a grip, there are 50 states. why should they not all have a say? its practically tied and especially if you include MI and FL which NEED TO BE COUNTED.

this system is screwed up but its what we have so stop being big obama-babies and get ready for it to finish itself out. are you scared that obama isn't enough of a rockstar to come out shining? you scared of the clintons? well maybe you should be.

hillary08!

stop whining obamababies!

I agree 100%. What are they afraid of? Everyone's vote is important and should be counted. Hillary 08!
