SMART MAN

Do all you Hillary supporters think she is for democracy? Honestly? She could care less about the voters rights. She accepted the fact those two states would not count if and when they broke the rules. When she was ahead on delegates her stance was all about the delegate lead. Now she is crying foul again saying she has the right to change the pledge delegate vote. What? Every vote should count?..Unless it is a vote against her. Every Clinton supporter is screaming about how unfair their canidate is being treated. She is treated that way because she is dishonest, and negative. Obama has no choice but to defend himself. "Shame on you Barak Obama"..? Is she serious? The funny thing about that line was, what Obama said about her in Ohio and Nafta turned out to be true. It has nothing to do with the fact she is a woman. I was going to vote for her. She is negative. She thinks the American people are idiots. The spin she puts on everything, the lies, the misstatements ect……Everyone just didn't wake up one morning and say to themselves, "lets all be against Hillary" She did this to herself. Her campaign is a mess. Lets talk about healthcare. Under her plan she would be charged with a criminal offense for not paying her healthcare bills for her campaign. How can she say every american must pay for healthcare than not pay her own bills? Wake up!

YOU THINK !!!

Obama is waiting on you, but don't push Hillary cuz so many have dropped out which is unffair you know.

Hillary supporters can anyone call John Edward to come back and put his name on the ballot as the race for White House is still wide open? Every state most count and candidate most not drop out until the last state votes.

It' s unffair for the rest of the states not to cast for many candidates as they desire instead of just 2 people.To drop out when other
states have not voted is unamerican.

Very very unffair. Come to think of it why should they drop out and many state have not haven't vote?

The chicken candidates whom have dropped out makes people focus on only 2 candidate instead of leaving open for many choices which would have more interesting.

Obama does not win my vote for sure. He is on the senator floor for three years now and pretty much not having any proposal that he claims he would do if he was president. How could we know he would do them, when he had the chance to do them for three years and done nothing?

I think Obama needs to address race issue once again, to his supporters this time.

Its good to see someone on the Clinton side can actually do the math. I applaud you for standing behind Clinton and yet knowing that it may be inevitable for you to switch to help unite the democratic party.

Obama 08

I say it again, I think Clinton should show the Democratic Party the same respect they have shown her, pull a Lieberman leave the party and run independent. You would see some freaked out scared people then. I so think she could pull it off, she would have my vote. Forget the Democratic Party Hillary what have they done for you lately, GO INDEPENDENT!!!!

Obama, Clinton and McCain out of a "Country of 300 million people this is the best we have to offer" Ny dream is to have a real leader! These are all products of big politics "The Washington Party" and all they want is for the Govt to have more Power.

The American People have turned into worms they deserve these three, all the same.

The debt, the dollar, the jobs, Govt controls Wall Strreet, The federal reserve, what a joke they made the mess now they are going to lead it??

Wake up America you are Surfs

And now the superdelegates are starting to see the light!

OUCH! That one hurts.

Can't wait to see how Lou Dobbs spins this one. He keeps complaining that it's only Obama supporters calling for Hillary to get out of the race, well this isn't quite a call, but it's close enough.

This is the first time I've heard a hillary person come to grips with reality. Of course Obama will win! Mr. Cleaver has proved to me that SOME hillary people aren't in a dreamworld! GET A GRIP EVERYONE!

The writing is on the wall. Come June, Hillary will end her campaign and endorse Obama.

Call it whatever you want, I'll just call it inevitability!

Hillary supporters meet your destiny!

Obama 08!

Vote Democrat '08

Let's get these Repub's out!

Clinton backer saying Obama will win……… Priceless.

ANOTHER TRAITOR

if hillary doesn't win in pennsylvania, it's time to stick her with a fork and see if she's done!

I love this guy!!! At least some folks in the Clinton camp have common sense.

OBAMA 08

Sorry, I think it will be either Clinton or McCain, too many have had second and third thoughts about Obama, and I'm one of them. At first I just thought he needed more experience but since just a few things have come out, I don;t think he would be good for America, his campaign has been about race and that's not what the issues should be about, it should be for ALL Americans. He nicely turned the preachers hate speeches into blaming everyone else for the preachers racism.

Now that's what I call straight talk. The Kansas City Chiefs comment was right on the money. We all know she can't win. At least he's standing by his candidate (until she sits down).

We should let this thing run to its logical end, prior to the convention.
There should be no question as to who could have, would have been the candidate of choice for the Democratic Party. People on both sides of the argument should stop whining, and do something positive.

This is a problem that's about to take care of itself. Hillary has been keeping a deep dark secret that's about to come to light. Her campaign is financially bankrupt. She no longer has the funds to continue for any length of time. She may have the will to continue, but money talks. No money? No campaign. Are you a Hillary backer? Quit whining about CNN and superdelegates, and Michigan and Florida, and sniper fire, and Chelsea getting asked inapropriate questions, and put your money where your mouth is. Send money, or watch your candidate pull out due to financial problems.

OBAMA WILL NOT WIN, BECAUSE MYSELF AND ALL THE OTHER CLINTONIANS WILL MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T. WE WILL VOTE MCCAIN BY THE MILLIONS. WE WILL VOTE AGAINST THE PAMPOUS MEDIA DARLING. NOW THE MEDIA WILL HAVE TO COVER FOUR YEARS OF MCCAIN.

CLINTONIANS FOR MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!

I wish that the Clinton camp would listen to what their own supporters are saying. Now is the best time to graciously withdraw from the race and avoid political suicide.

For the Hillary democrats, voting for McCain is a viable option- they are an older, more conservative, and now a disenfranchised-by-their- own party demographic.

For Obama supporters, voting for McCain is an idle threat- they are a younger, more radical and star-struck demographic.

Very good! That's the begining of the end for Clintons,,, I expect all 300 'super' delegates to support Obama by the end of April!!

Max

Writing is on the wall. Hillary Clinton will never be the nominee, or the president of the United States. EVER. Get used to it folks. Esepcially all you Clinton supporters who refuse to acknowledge the truth of the situation and stick your heads in the sand like confused,. dumbfounded ostrichs.

Hillary,

Please pay your healthcare bills on time. Do I need to remind you that under your plan its a crime not to pay your healthcare bills? What a mess your campaign is in. Goodluck with running an entire country.

Finally someone from the Clinton camp is facing reality….

Residing in Connecticut, I honestly don't know anything about Congressman Cleaver, but I do respect a man who tells it like is.

Obama may win but the Clinton war machine will snatch the candy out of Obama's hand. You know democrats do like us in power they just say that to get our vote!

LOL, hilary needs to go down fast.

Clinton might as well just write him off of her list–clearly he doesn't want to be the only black professional on record not supporting Obama. He's giving Clinton a not so sublte warning that in a covention split decision–he's voting for Obama.

I appreciate Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver honesty. It is very realistic and he is thinking of the Party first and what is more realistic!!!

Thank you Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver!!!

WOW,

Anytime a Hillary supporter comes out and says that he'd be surprised if Obama is not the next President of the United States, it goes to show you just how much confidence Hillary supporters have in her.

This isn't no false accusations or made up stories by Obama supporters, this is actually a full fledged Clinton supporter who has doubts that she can win the nomination more or less the general election. I still feel she should stay in because she is still close enough to create doubt in voters minds but after all the primaries and caucauses are over, if she still doesn't have enough delegates, enough of the popular vote then she should then, and only then graciously bow out and throw her support (genuinely) behind Barack Obama.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IS FUNNY?

OBAMA IS OUT SPENDING HILLARY 2TO 1 IN ALL STATES YET HILLARY IS WAY AHEAD IN PENNSYLVANIA AND INDIANA!!!!!!!

THANK YOU PEOPLE FOR NOT FALLING FOR THE LIES!!!

8 YEARS AGO I LIVED IN MICHIGAN AND RAN 2 BUSINESSES IN INDIANA (GOSHEN AND MISHAWAKA) THESE ARE SOME HARD WORKING PATRIOTIC AMERICANS THAT ARE SMART AND THEY KNOW WHO CAN CHANGE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!

I WONDER WHAT THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL SAY WHEN HILLARY WINS BOTH OF THESE AND POSSIBLY NORTH CAROLINA?

OBAMAS LIES AND WRIGHT CONTROVERSY HAVE HURT HIM IN THESE STATES AS WELL!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHY I AM VOTING FOR HILLARY!!!!!!

Nice to see Hillary's own people are starting to come to their senses if not very slowly.

I hope it's not too little too late.
I'm afraid the Clintons and their supporters have already given away the White House to McCain.

At least one Clinton backers sees the truth.

I HAVE A FEELING A LOT OF CLINTON SUPPORTERS THINKS THE SAME WAY

Hillary's myth of over throwning Obama is just that a MYTH!

We've seen it already in the polls that her backers are not loyal to her…Not the way Obama's backers are loyal to him and his principles!

THIS MAN IS SYAING WHAT MANY HILLARY BACKERS KNOW AND ARE AFRAID TO SAY FOR FEAR OF GETTING HER WRATH!

HILLARY YOU'RE SINGLEHANDEDLY BRINGINING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOWN!!!!! IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY GIVE IT UP AND SUPPORT OBAMA SO THE DEMOCRATS CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!

Yes, finally someone in Hills camp sees the light of day!!!

That was probably the best comments from an official I've read in a while. Real talk!

Wow….did he say that he would support the losing candidate even though he knows they are going to lose. Good for him. I can tell you if a ship was sinking…I wouldn't sit there, I would jump ship. The captain is the only person who is suppose to stay.

I think everyone knows that Barack Obama will be the winner of the democratic primary UNLESS the Clintons can turn enough superdeligates to hand it to Hillary.

It's the only reason Hillary is refusing to drop out. She's counting on having the superdelegates go against the people of this country to "select" a person who didn't actually win an election.

Superdelegates or Supreme Court. She's not unlike George Bush in this respect, is she?

The writing is on the wall…..

Well Cleaver,better get the smelling salts ready,because there is no way the people will vote for a lightweight like Obama given the desperate problems facing our country.McCain will wipe the floor with Obama.Oh, and as far as being a Clinton supporter,how phoney-baloney is that!

And look at HRC's meeting with her husband's worst enemy, Richard Mellon Scaife. Bet James Carville must have loved the interview with Mellon Scaife. What does he call HRC for taking sides with her husband's worst enemy.

And we are surprised because? Is this really news?

He said before that he's likely choose whomever his district supports.

Perhaps others should take the same position? By this I am referring to Kennedy, Richardson, Kerry — all of whom are representatives from constituencies who support Hillary Clinton.

Obama's camp wants to flip-flop on this issue whenever convenient for their purpose. Sounds like politics as usual for this puppet of Kennedy-Kerry Democrats. HOW IS THIS "CHANGE"? It's not.

Wow, even Clinton's professional supports are waking up!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DUDE ?

So switch! What are you waiting for. Go switch to Obama!

Cheryl…. ummm… are you sane??

Mark said: "if hillary doesn't win in pennsylvania, it's time to stick her with a fork and see if she's done!"

…wait a minute, isn't that what they said before she "won" Texas?, lol.

She'll be campaigning as long as she wants to campaign. Fact is this thing is decided already, we just have to wait for her to admit it.

Its no longer a Hillary thing, or an obama thing. Its a numbers thing. the numbers say Obama. The Democrats have voted Obama. You dont have to take it personally, but people do.

I wager not many Hillary supporters want John Mcain in the white house…the only ones who do are Republicans who crossed over in hopes to cause chaos in the democratic party

Frank

If you believe Obama will be the winner, don't you think it is time to endorse him officially??? duhhhhhhhhhhh

Seems like Hillary is the Huckabee of the Democrats. Sure, stay in the race and let people vote for you even though there is now way to catch up or honesly win the nomination. We all know this but you continue to "let the people vote" however, I bet I know what you would say if the tables were turned and Obama was saying these things. Hopefully in June you'll come out and respectfully let Obama take the nomination and then maybe let people respect you once again for doing the right thing.

Independents for McCain!

I wish we could be unified now and play clean political Game.Let not be selfish … Think about winning against Mccain in November

Yes, Jonathan I'm witih you! We can't have Obama as president. I know several Clinton supporters who will be voting for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.

Sounds to me like this is one very confused person. Who does he support? And why?

Glad at last one Clinton supporter has a grip on reality.

If Obama doesn't win, the country loses. We either have a liar in the White House, or a Warmonger.

You choose.

Obama 08

Hilllary, Bill and their supporters are not going to be satisfied until the Democratic party is torn to shreds!!!

I've been formulating this thought in my mind for awhile…I believe that they're "closet" Republicans!!!! I think they're staying in this doomed campaign of theirs to wreak as much havoc as they can prior to the Democratic Convention so that whoever the nominee is (presumably Senator Obama) will be so weakened by all the nastiness and controversy that's transpired, it will be a cakewalk for the Republican nominee in the General Election come November. That's what I think!

Again, Clinton supporters using all CAPS and bad grammar to get their point across. One of them is even referring to Clinton supporters as CLINTONIANS. That's scary. I believe we're all AMERICANS looking for a sensible, postive, and yes, charismatic, leader.

I think the race will be decided First week of June for sure, no need to go to convention.

'Obama' needs time to face head on with 'McCain' and sooner that is, better it will be.

A.M.
Houston, Texas

As for Obama winning against McCain no way.
I as a Hillary supporter will not vote for Obama, due to the tactics that Obama and his supporters have used, trying to short circuit the primary season. Wanting to proclaim Obama the winner by fiat, and trying to change the rules and role of the superdelegates.

But it is not about Race. Then what is it about. Making History. At what expense. Obama is not a Mainstream African-American. Those of you who think he is are totally confused. Examine his record or lack of it and that tells you he is not Mainstream. He may win the nomination but will lose the election. McCain will steamroll this novice politician in November.

This truth Shall set you free

Obviously not a Clinton backer! Your headline is childishly incorrect. You need a fact checker. All blacks want Obama to win because of the racism card that Obama plays. He will never be president. Too much bad baggage from cocaine to lies on Nafta to Wright to mediocre whites to blunt nosed Italians. Obama is a militant racist and more will come out from his cocaine days at Columbia.

It will be McCain in the end. Only the press wants Obama.

I understand Hillary staying in the race through the June 3rd primaries, but hopefully things will have been decided by then. Her only hope in winning is if Obama stumbles or her attacks so weaken him in the eyes of Democrats and the nation that he would seem unelectable.
My dearest hope, as an Obama supporter, is that the good people of Pennsylvania decide to be the deciding factor in the race by going for Obama. That would end this long and arduous campaign.
I can't understand the working people choosing Hillary over Obama, when she has been a dhild of privilege in Lake Forest, ill., while Obama has come up the hard way from poverty, has fought for the rights of working Americans on the S Side of Chicago, and understands, as Hillary never can, the plight of the underprivileged in this country.

LIBERALS FOR MCCAIN!!!

Finally it is nice to see a clinton supporter with good Math Skills. Give it up Hillary you full me once shame on you, twice shame on Me it ain't going to happen.

Obama 08

TO:Jonathan April 1st, 2008 1:19 pm ET
YOU DO THAT JONATHAN, YOU AN ALL YOUR CLINTONONIANS AS YOU PROMISE WILL VOTE MCCAIN. THAT'S WHAT WE EXPECT FROM COWARDS WHO DON'T WANT CHANGE BECAUSE ALL YOU SEE IS A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

DEMOCRATS O8

Obama is up on delegate votes but not far. The problem is that he is raised by a white racist and mentored by a black racist so what product of a person does that produce?

People are easily swayed by moving speeches and mild mannerism. Hitler was a prime example of this. Not saying Obama is Hitler but the methods of swaying people are exact.

The issue with Obama is that he has a number of race issues himself. I suspect most of his supporters have not read his two books and seen the psychology he really has. Those books act as a confessional of his character. His drug use, racism, denial, and embracement of Islam when things were hard for him.

However no matter what gets exposed to him the media just cuddles him and tells Obama it is ok, we will ignore it. Any other candidate with the numerous voting, insider trading, racism, anti-American issues Obama has would be out long ago.

I am so sick of Clinton supporters hating on the youth vote!

Your envy is palpable….GET OVER IT!

The Youth of America like Obama over Hillary and this time WE are actually voting..HA..HA!

No wonder you want to vote for 72 year old 100-years in Iragq McCain…because you old Clintonistas won't be around for that disaster, so your spiteful and immature losing ways will lead the country to disaster…FOR WHAT???

Because Hillary didn't get what she DESERVED???
Are you kidding me??

You claim the youth are star struck…at least we have done our homework and aren't just voting because we like someone's last name or their husband…..

Cleaver sounds more like a uniter than a divider of the democrat party and that's a good thing. It is important that all democrats stand united.

Poor Hillary. I wonder who the poor soul will be trying to convince her that it's basically over. It's pretty clear that what Bill says isn't exactly reliable. Maybe Chelsea is the Democrats best hope for a graceful exit.

Kudos on your candor and honesty Mr. Cleaver!
My wife heard the interview and was very impressed. Now watch out for the long knives!

IM WONDERING HOW UGLY ITS GOING TO GET WHEN HER AND HER SUPPORTERS COME TO GRIPS WITH THIS? SHE DOESNT SEEM TO KNOW WHERE THE HIGH ROAD IS!

To the poster who said the Democrats did nothing for her: yeah. She didn't get committe chairmanships and the entire party didn't follow her down the path to defeat in 1994. They gave her money to win a NY Senate seat.

If that's your idea of 'not doing anything,' I hope you remember to not vote, particularly for an opportunist whose only in this position because her husband was.

hillary,… the race is over.. the rest is a show for the party….we all know that she wants to exit her head high.

I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER GO HILLARY ALL THE WAY IF YOU OBAMA CULTISTS STEAL THIS FROM HER WE WILL SINK YOU BY VOTING FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HILLARY AND OBAMA HAVE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL POLISY POSITIONS AND PLANS FOR THEIR ADMINISTRAYSHUNS WE HATE OBAMA HUSSAIN SO MUCH WE WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND WHEN OUR SONS AND DAUGHTRS ARE DRAFTED INTO MCCAINS PAN ISLAMIC WARS AND DIE IN THE DESERTS OF THE MIDDLE EAST WE WILL SMILE PROUDLY BECAUYSE THEY WILL BE DEAD BUT WE HAVE DEFENDED HILLARYS HONOR AND THE MEDIA WILL COVER OBAMAS DEFEET

GO HILLARY ALLL THE WAY!!!11!1!1 08

PS I AM NOT A TROLE

The fact that so many Clinton supporters are willing to vote for McCain instead of Obama speaks volumes of their (the McCain defectors, not ALL Hillary supporters!!) complete lack of understanding or sense.

If you pay attention to the issues and their stances, any intelligent or reasonable person would agree that Hillary and Obama are incredibly similar in most respects, and I would be glad to have either at the helm of this country. To go from Hillary to McCain is nothing but an idiotic, reactionary step. I'll say it again: If you are really having a hard time deciding between two incredibly disparate forces as Hillary and McCain, you are an unprincipled moron and nothing more. I would encourage you to stay home on election day and read a book for the first time in your life.

News sources likes this shameful entertainment-peddler known as "CNN" have turned this into a Jerry Springer-like debacle where race and gender have been played up in the place of real issues. The American public is being taken advantage of and modified by the whims and will of this bottom-line-oriented sham.

. . .Its good to see a level headed Clinton supporter not afraid to come forward. He knows that this is business, not personal. Its about who
is best for the country as a whole. Clinton has shown that she is willing to use too many divide and conquer tactics. (pitting races against each other?) That is not true leadership.

If an other black Clinton supporter said this, I will be convienced.

Democracts for Mc Cain

After all the vote on the remain are counted including Florida and Michigan, the superdelegates will see who is the best candidate to win in November
When the elections for the nominee are over, I will enjoy see the delegates that now go for Obama change their mind and go back to Hillary 08

Wow, this guy is crazy. If you support a candidate you should root for them. What the heck?

The Left Wing of the Democratic Party has done it again, snatched Defeat out of the jaws of Victory.

To all of the so called Clinton supporters who say if Obama wins they will vote for McCain. That's fine….go ahead.

Your gas bills are high as heck, the economy stinks, mortgages are in the crapper….I could go on and on….

So you choose McCain over Obama considering all of those factors in clear mind and spirit - by all means vote for him. Just don't vote for McCain because Obama is half black. All these candidates are liars, so that shouldn't make or break your decision either.

Democrat '08 - Support our party no matter who wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE VERY WORRY ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN PA, AND SO THEY ARE GETTING PEOPLE TO PRESSURE CLINTON TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE BEFORE THE PRIMARY.

Obama will not win because Hillarys supporters will not vote for him.

Why do all these politicians go to Canada and start talking the truth?

Is it the beer or the bacon?

A vote for Obama is a vote for the GOP come the general election…remember that all you Obama fools!

Hillary is tragic, like Lady Macbeth

blindly greedy for power

a false humanitarian

such poor judgement

she can't see she has already LOST!

She can't figure out how to get off her own insane merry-go-round.

jonathan — you're an IDIOT . .

it's because of people like you that we had to endure 2 terms of Bush and now you're willing to endure 1-2 terms of McCain just because you're an Obama hater. is your pea brain so small that you couldn't objectively see that Clinton is not even an ok leader ?? she's not her husband even though she is a LIAR like him but at least he made the right call when it came to afghanistan and iraq

open your mind dude . . . it's over — vote Obama '08

Billary couldn't pay her healthcare bills because, according to her delusional socialist plan, healthcare is free for everyone in America.

Not the last time I ckecked on my healthcare bill, which rightfully so, as a true american who did not believe in handouts, rightfully paid in FULL!

All I need is reducing my healthcare cost, which Obama plans offer, which Billary desperately needs…since she can loan her campaign $5 million dollars, but stingy enough not to pay her healthcare bill.

Billary, healthcare in america is not free, pay your bill and your campaign debts and do us all a favor by heeding to your supporters advice and DROOOOOOOOOP OUT!

May God help us in uniting this party after the storm!!! DEM 089—no matter whose name is on the ballot as long as it has a D in front

MP

I could'nt have spoken your words any better. The nail was hit on the head several times. The frailties of these Clintonites show clearly on these blogs daily. Instead of attempting to embrace a man that is undoubtly more intelligent, charismatic, patriotic, caring, and presidential than we've had in definitely 8 years, they speak of placing John Wayne McCain in out of bitterness and hatred. Makes you wonder about some people and their true values. There has never been a 1st term president to go into office with any real experience to be president. So why do we always hear about not enough experience. How about judgement.

Deana - If Clinton ran as an Independent, she's hand McCain the presidency.

If you are a Hillary supporter and vote for McCain because you don't like Obama, you just chose to send our soldiers to die in Iraq over petty dislikes. You might as well be charged with 1st degree murder.

After attending the Texas Senatorial convention this past Saturday, I can not, under any circumstances, vote for Obama. The majority of his supporters acted like total idiots. Rude, pushy, smart-mouthed, uninformed, & not interested in any other aspect of the convention other than casting a vote for Obama and leaving. I was totally disappointed in their actions. And I'm still very suspicious of how some of their precinct chairs calculated the numbers. it was a real eye opener.

I just LOVE Coach Dungy!

OBAMA 08!

I love this man, he tells it like it is !

Right now, Obama is like Tiger Woods playing the back 9 on Sunday with a 5 stroke lead. Match over.

As the student left the event, the former first daughter also said she doesn't think people should "vote for or against my mother because of my father.

More dumb rhetoric from the Clinton camp. Shame on the Clintons for throwing their daughter under the bus. Its obvious she is in over her head.

About Cleaver, I am proud that he has chosen to stand by his convictions and support the Clintons after all they've done or tried to do for the African-American community, which is substantially more than what Barack has done on a Nation wide scale.

Cleaver has chosen honor and principle over race. And that's hard in this election because Barack is just so plain like-able and electable.

But to back peddle during the contest and aid the other side by airing his opinion as to Hillary's chances is more culpable than merely watching your favorite team on television while internally harboring the views that they will likely lose. He has to know that.

Hopefully, the Clintons memories are not that long, when Cleaver comes calling in the future. But I think they will remember.

Mayor, you need to go on record to correct this slip up -help Hillary (or whomever you back) by showing full faith in her and encouraging rather than discouraging people to vote for her; and then stay out of this one.

'Not Here" the answer to your question was answered by OB many times before. His Quote,"There is no problem with good ideas, but good ideas go to the senate to die" Remember that. I think you really want to vote for Barack, but are trying to find faults with him. Come on, Vote Obama, you'll feel better..

Obama for President, The Leader of a New Generation…. I can't wait until the Air is clean again…

"Sorry, I think it will be either Clinton or McCain, too many have had second and third thoughts about Obama, and I'm one of them. At first I just thought he needed more experience but since just a few things have come out, I don;t think he would be good for America, his campaign has been about race and that's not what the issues should be about, it should be for ALL Americans. He nicely turned the preachers hate speeches into blaming everyone else for the preachers racism." JJ

well JJ sorry you don't understand that on the campaign trail both candidates still talk about the issues. Its the media that has been bringing the race issue up time and again. And if you would actually read the transcripts from Wright's sermons you would see that they aren't as bad as you would think. He said some stupid things get over it. And once again Obama is not Wright. Obama conducts himself in fine matter and has been shown to be racist. COME TO THINK OF IT….HOW COULD HE BE. He's half WHITE. He has the distinct advantage of seeing both sides from a unique perspective.

Wow, that was surprisingly honest.

Clinton supporters frequently belittle Obama supporters, calling them star struck (not a very good way to get moderates, btw). But it seems like it is the Clintonites that are the ones who are blinded- they are so in love with the Clintons they think they can live in the past, that this will suddenly become the 1990's. Sometimes it seems like they are voting based on Bill, not Hillary. We don't need a third term of Bush, and we don't need a third term of Clinton. We need someone honest, hardworking, and willing to take responsibility rather than laying blame.

Nice to see not all Hillary's supporters are brainwashed.

No, Mr. Cleaver. Having a "supporter" like you is the "tragedy of tragedies." This may go down in recent history as one of the really cunning hatchet jobs by a so-called "friend." With friends like you, Senator Clinton doesn't need enemies.

Clinon or McCain 08!

Hard working men of America need representation.

Those of us that have been labeled "Wal-Mart" democrats, we have a voice.

We can kick the butts of the "starbuck" Obama radical elites.

VOTE for Hillary Clinton.

Take back this country from the children and the radicals.

COME ON GUYS, THIS GUY IS NOT A TRUE HILLARY SUPPORTER!!! HE PROBABLY CHANGED TO SUPPORTING OBAMA LIKE OTHER TRAITOR SUPERDELEGATES.

Clintonians voting for McCain is exactly what the problem with a lot of the polarizing that the Clinton's stimulate among the voters. She did not go after McCain they (Bill too) went after Obama. This is why her negative rating is so high. People do not like nor want that type of rhetoric. For that reason alone people are reluctant to vote for her.

Don't be surprised if this guy meets with an "accident." you know, like many other of the clinton crime family "friends."

i think that more and more there are black superdelegates throwing their support to Obama even though they know that the race is way to close to call. It sends a evry bad message and is nt in keeping with Michelle obama's want for everyone to just get along. it lokks like they gravitate that way simply because of race. Its a shame too. So now this guy was probably confrinted by his own people who reminded him of where he came from and that he is supposed to be loyal to the black community. these people try very hard to get ahead in life, to livethe Americna drea and then their own kind call them names (uncle tom0 and shoot them in the foot. yea its sad and its a shame.

In Hillary's camp, it takes guts to say the obvious truth.

I hope this will inspire other supporters to 'call a blade a blade'

There is no need to continue, Dear Hillary.

I keep seeing the same people responding to these blogs - and always the same rhetoric regardless of what story they are responding to. I wonder if any of them are part of one of the three candidate's campaigns?

Wierd…

JHR Arizona

I have to agree with you!!! I think the problem is we have to choose out of these three.

I take solace in knowing that we still have the house and the senate to help guide this country

Hey Cheryl, I am so sorry but I have to get you on this one. YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IS FUNNY,

HILLARY HAS HER HUSBAND (not to mention, former President of the United States), HER DAUGHTER, AND HER HUSBAND CAMPAIGNING FOR HER SIMULTANEOUSLY ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND SHE STILL CAN'T WIN!!!

To all the haters i know there's nothing OBAMA can do or say that will make you vote for him but we will invite you to the INAGURATION

Everyone knows the truth that Hillary would not win the nomination. So why can't people say it out.

Cleaver's just stating the obvious truth. She has to carry the remaining states by roughly 15% to even have a chance at winning. Just not gonna happen.

AMERICA FOR MCCAIN!!!

HA HA HE HE
sssswwwwweeee eeeeeettttt!!!!!!!!

Hillary people will come around. It seems like their argument is nothing more than "mccain will crush/steamroll/pwn obama", and it just doesn't really make any sense.

Well there you have at least one Hillary supporter that seems to understand math.

Obama '08

Who in their right mind would vote for John McSame. Haven't you received the memo that dusty old white men in Washington are out of style. The era of fear politics is about to be over. It's time for new blood, the establishment has done enough damage.

Moveon.Org lost the election for Gore and for Kerry.

Now these radicals will lose the election for Obama.

Way to go, people

Believe it or not, but if my boy didn't make this far or let alone have a chance, I wouldn't not care about this election….I mean, what else hasn't change??? Exactly, nothing…

UNITED DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN!!!

Obama does not need to win Pennsylvania. He just needs to get in the less than 10% margin. That in itself will show how flawed Hillary's strategy is. Imagine, if this was reversed and Hillary were to be one who was leading and Obama losing 14 states in a row. I am sure Hillary's supporters would have called Obama to quit long time ago and for the interest of the country and the party, I believe Obama would have quit long time ago.

Hillary is a fraud and a selfish lady. Time to move on Hillary.

It is such a shame that spineless people like Cleaver represent this nation on anything. No backbone no loyalty all he has is his personal interest.

Whatever happened to the democratic party that was soooo proud of both of it candidates? The democratic party that existed, what, three months ago? It still exists, but unfortunately the only voices that get ratings are those of the lunatic hardliners supporting each candidate. Of course, it was obviously much easier for Clinton supporters to say they liked Obama when Hillary was inevitable, now that Obama is starting to look like the inevitable winner, they don't like him soooo much; nor are they sooo proud of they're party and what "it says" about America that we are sooo open-minded and wonderful that we might nominate an African-American, or a Woman. Largest, most open-minded, and diverse democracy in the world is called India. yeah, thats right

OBAMA WILL NOT WIN, BECAUSE MYSELF AND ALL THE OTHER CLINTONIANS WILL MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T. WE WILL VOTE MCCAIN BY THE MILLIONS. WE WILL VOTE AGAINST THE PAMPOUS MEDIA DARLING. NOW THE MEDIA WILL HAVE TO COVER FOUR YEARS OF MCCAIN.

CLINTONIANS FOR MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!

How STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will not win the general. His ego will pull him and the Democratic party down. His speech with its manipulative diversion to race was just another con.

Play the blame game, and don't take resposibility is the con that has trapped blacks for years. Read something honestly helpful:
"Come On People: On the Path from Victims to Victors" by Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint.

Hillary or McCain 08!

Now would be a GREAT time to start becoming gracious winners!!!
The Hillary bashing needs to stop in order to afford her & her supporters the dignity & respect they deserve for playing their part in building a stronger candidate in Obama. A job well done & a campaign hard fought.
Any other year Hillary would have been the shoe in & would make a fine President. I just don't think many People expected Obama would be this once in a lifetime candidate that he's turned out to be. There have been gaffes & blunders & embellishments on both sides, but at the end of the day Obama just ran a better campaign. He should be commended & rewarded with the nomination & Hillary & her supporters can hold their heads high knowing they did their best.

I am a Canadian and it turns my stomach to watch Lou Dobbsand his attitude towards Obama! I wonder what he will say now since its one of Clintons backers thats saying Obama will win.

Obama is a leader of today who wants real change, hillary wants what she thinks is her's by ways of being first lady. This is 2008 all americans feel they have an actual say and they sayyyyyy Obama!

All of those voting fot Barack or Hillary are Democrats. If your candidate does not win why would you vote for the enemy aka McCain? It doesn't make sense. In the end don't all of us democrats want that same thing? McCain doesn't want what we want…why would you Clintonians vote for him if Barack wins…be smarter people…please! Di you want more ouf our young men and women going to war just because Hillary didn't win?

OBAMA '08

I do think that a lot of people have seen Hillary's true colors…

The only reason that they don't want to publicly REJECT AND DENOUNCE her is because they don't want to be seen as haters which, actually, they are not but instead people who love this country and want to elect a talented[once in a life time] young Barack Obama!

If the nomination should go to a broker convention, then I am quite sure a lot of these superdelegates who pledged their supports for Hillary earlier will switch sides and hang onto the Obama wegon! –this is becoming very clear by the day.

Hillary and her people know that after PA, there will be nothing left for her to win!

This guys too smart to be a Clinton supporter, or a member of U.S. Government.
Must be a plant.
DrFill

Hillary has less experience in public office than Obama. He has been an ELECTED public servant almost twice as long as she has….He was elected into the Illinois Senate in 1996 while Hillary was still first lady going on "dangerous" missions to Bosnia and Northern Ireland. For some reason, the media is not reporting on this subject. They are also not reporting on the fact that Hillary has been trumpeting her 35 years of experience….she graduated from Yale Law School 35 YEARS AGO!!! Just like she always does, Hillary is bending the truth so it works better for her. I wonder if they had to move her graduation inside because of sniper fire?

This is a minor point of semantics, but it's incorrect to refer to the interview as having been done for "Canadian public radio". it was done for the CBC, which is a national broadcaster and run by the government. It's only public insofar as our tax dollars go to support its radio and TV operations, but it's not public in the same way as NPR is.

Al, actually you will find that she needs to carry the remaining states by 24% margins to even have a change of winning.

He's Right!!

CLINTONIANS FOR MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!

Typical blathering by another Clinton supporter. Go ahead and vote for McCain. Higher income independents like me will get a huge tax break under McCain while schmucks like you lose your job to China under the Republicans. Voting out of spite will cost you more than you care to acknowledge. And, it really makes you look petty and stupid. Stop acting like a 12 year old!

But, really, go ahead. Prove your point. Seriously, some Clinton supporters have single digit IQs.

To: Ken in RI

I hope you make more sense in person than what you posted. Next time try spell check. It can be a good thing!!

Thank you Rep. Cleaver! Well said by the honorable gentleman from Missouri. You won't be the only person stunned if Senator Obama does not win the nomination and go on to become POTUS. James Carville and the Clinton “spin doctors” will have a hissy fit with this comment for sure. All right, who's next to throw in their endorsement for the Obama's the People's Choice for the White House contest?

The band is getting louder. All she needs is a Bob Dole stage fall moment, and that would wrap up her campaign.

She was leading in early Pennsylvania by 30 POINTS, then 25,20,15,10, and NOW 5 POINTS.

It would not surprise me if OBAMA WINS IT. Everyone said he can not but by looking at polls she is giving up ground fast.

Better run fast Billary the sniper fire is coming in quick!

All of you - please consider these:

1. OBAMA was right on on the Iraq war. He called it with 100% accuracy. before it even began and against public opinion. This is called "presidential" good Judgment.

2. OBAMA has relentlessly discussed his concerns about taking our eyes off Afghanistan and Pakistan and our army being stretched out and wasted on Iraq. This is EXACTLY what Bush's aides discusssed with Bush last week - something OBAMA has been saying for many years now. This is called "presidential" good judgment.

3. OBAMA's proposed economic plan included an overhaul of Federal regulations when it came to dealing with banks, brokers, etc. This is EXACTLY the recommendation of Paulson this week. This is called "presidential" good judgment.

4. HILLARY - once a liar - ALWAYS a liar. How can ANYBODY believe ANYTHING that comes out of this woman's mouth after the Bosnia "misstatements". This is NOT presidential judgment.

People - please get a grip. Hillary's OWN people are obviously already. I'd say most of them are - by now - Obama supporters in the closet.

Just watch OBAMA run away with this Presidency. Just watch…..

Thank you Lord!

A Clinton supporter who can add and subtract? Didn't know they existed.

"If Hillary doesn't win, I'll vote McCain."

So what you're saying is, if given a pack of M&M's plain (Clinton), a pack of M&M's peanut (Obama), or a box of rocks (McCain), you'd rather eat a box of rocks. Got it.

How any true Democrat can find McCain palatable defies logic, common sense, and prescient conviction.

An Indep.? OMG are you a moron or just a republican?
Consider the WH HANDED to McCain wow.
Think, that's all we have to ask of people, start thinking.

People, do you want Bush back in there via McCain? No, Ok then rally behind your party and vote Obama. The reason Gore didn't win is because of those that just didn't/don't think. You are not going to jump ship and vote for McCain if Clinton is out so please stop with these ridiculous empty threats. Stop insulting your fellow Dems and think; about what you want, what you need and who can more likely get that for you. If you are a Dem, you are one for a reason.

Years and years in Wash. does not a good politician make. Like Michael Reagan said, he was there when his father made a number of decisions and agreements, does that make him a suitable candidate? No, please people just think about it. Obama is a smart man, an accomplished and educated man with world experience and integrity. What else do you need? Just calm down and think.

NOOBAMA 08

Hillary or McCain all the way!

Too funny…

Someone telling the truth pisses of the HRC backers. No wonder Hillary is their candidate.

What's even funnier…

Anyone who says anything that sounds even the least bit critical of Hillary, secretly loves and backs Obama.

Btw, I don't think all Hillary supporters are morons… just the vast majority of them that post on these forums!

And… regardless of who you back… if your post is in all caps… You are an idiot!

can a democrat explain this to me:

if we raise taxes to a point where around 35-50% of all income goes to the government, how can do nothing but harm the mortgage market further?

i feel if either dem. is elected and try to force their health care plans without years of planning, this nation will be forced into the ground further by a sheer lack of income to pay off the HORRIBLE debt situation we have now…

americans mostly blame someone other than themselves… last i checked, you made yourself have a ton of debt, so deal with it…

Bravo Jonathan! I am with you, If Hillary does not get the nomination, I am voting for the Republican nominee.

This is for all the people who are supporting Hilliary and making comments that you would vote for McCain instead of Obama in the general election remember one thing…. this election is important not only for your current lives but also future Americans (future sons, daughters etc.) so make a sound decision on facts and not your hearts!! Don't let personally feelings affect your way of life!!

Hey,

Maybe Hillary can become a commentator on Fox. She looked real confortable on there with Greta

Poor Billary…quit while you are ahead Rocky!! Takes a smart man to tell you what you already know!

Star Crazy,

Obama 2008

OBAMA / CLEAVER 08/09
A combination of sensible people

I think anyone for Hillary and against Obama is just deep down racism. The person might not want to admit to it and maybe doesn't even want to admit it to themselves. But all these other reasons they come up with are so not true or so not worthy or anything. When you look at how dirty and horrid Clinton had played and how the Clintons have always played there is no reason to suppor her. For those who say they are going to not vote for Obama if he gets the nomination, I say Good Bye!!!! Obama can bring Republicans and Independents over to our side and you will not be missed. We don't want dirty players at all in our party so you might as well vote for the dirty side. Hillary can't even get most of the Democrats to like her. She sure will not be able to sway a republican or a independent to vote for her. She is for the good of our party. She has cast a black cloud over it.

FINALLY—A HILLARY SUPPORTER WHO ENGAGES HIS BRAIN AND NOT JUST HIS EMOTIONS!!!

TO "INTERESTING"—IT'S NOT THE BEER OR THE BACON THAT DRAWS THEM TO DO THIS IN CANADA.

IT'S A SAFE HAVEN FROM THE "CLINTON MAFIA."

(WHICH REMINDS ME–HAS ANYONE SEEN RICHARDSON LATELY??!!!)

she cant and wont win
obama 08

He will announce support in mid-April.

Finally, somebody in Camp Clinton who know's how to count. Can't wait till the Clintons are sent home, this time for good. They are bad for the Democratic Party, bad for the White House and Bad for America. They will say absolutley anything to get elected, even lie (or make mis-statements).

Of course he's right, no matter what happens in Pennsylvania and the other states … and speaking of the call for primary do-overs, Ohio Dems should call for a do-over since voters in the Buckeye State were snookered by Hillary's NAFTA lies and tales of her "experience" ducking sniper fire overseas. Oh brother.
Enough talk about Michigan and Florida. Nobody has been disenfranchised! We should never see or hear that word again because those two states created their own messes. Sorry Hillary, you didn't "win" those states fair and square. Why spend another penny on primaries in those states. Give the money to charity and so this nation some good.
As Carl Bernstein noted in a brutally honest commentary a couple of weeks back published right here on cnn.com, Hillary is a "serial liar." She's simply not fit to be our president. Or even the Democratic nominee.

Say whatever you like, all your Obama supporters, the truth is that a woman will be the President of United States of America in Nov. 2008. History is written into the book of destiny including all future events. You can believe and you can ignore, but it does not change the outcome. I share this knowing with you all, so that it can save you some inner struggle eventually. Yes, no one can alter the fate of America and Hillary is a part of it, Obama, the catalyst.

She's good at dodging sniper fire.

Not so good at dodging friendly fire.

OBAMA 08

Cleaver is claiming to be a Clinton supporter, but it is clear from his comments he is obviously an Obama supporter at this point.

It's still anyone's race.

Why can't the media allow the democratic process to unfold without such biased reporting? I cannot remember a presidential campaign, prior to this one, where one candidates' supporters were attempting to bully another candidate into stepping down. Most undemocratic.

If your a democrat act like one and vote for a democrat. ENOUGH with the if this person wins I'll vote republican. If you want change then prove it. Stop acting like spoiled children who didn't get there way.

OBAMA FOR AMERICA!!!

Half of you i'm going to switch the McCaine most likly never voted and never will. Go have another beer. Who says one can't change thier mind.

Emmanuel Cleaver= keeping it 100% real! thank you!

If any of the other supporters of the otherside votes for MCcain they deserve 4 more years of suffering and war so if you vote just cause of despite you, ur kids, the elders and education be tortured for another 4 years.

I'd rather have a liar or a warmonger than someone who doesn't know if he is black or white!!

Uh Oh, Representative Cleaver is gonna get a call from "Rocky" (as Hillary is calling herself in Philadelphia) and it will likely be "heated" (as was her converations with Lewis, Dodd, and Richardson when they defected from her to Obama). Rocky's trainer might be next, slugging her while she is on the stool between rounds. Couldn't happen to a nicer fibber.

TO ALL CLINTON'S SUPPORTERS:
I SEE A MOVEMENT STARTING AND WE ALL SHOULD BE PART OF THIS REVOLUTION IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GO FOR THE BIAS MEDIA'S WISHES AND GIVE THE NOMINATION TO OBAMA WE ALL SHOULD BOYCOTT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN NOVEMBER AND GO FOR McCAIN. NOT SEAT AT HOME AND WATCH. WE HAVE TO BE PART OF THIS AND MAKE CLEAR WE, AMERICANS ARE SMARTER THAT THE MEDIA AND THE BIG GUYS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THINK. OUR FOUNDER FATHERS FOUGHT HARD TO GIVE US, THE PEOPLE ,THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR US. ALL I CAN THINK AND SEE FROM OBAMA IS THAT HE IS A LIAR, THE WIFE HAS NEVER BEEN PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN UNTIL HER HUSBAND BECAME A PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER, HIS SPIRITUAL ADVISER IS A RACIST MAN WHO SPREAD HATE. THEY SAY WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE IS WITH OBAMA, I DISAGREE, I AM WELL EDUCATED PERSON BUT I AM NOT LIBERAL AS OBAMA IS. HE WAS VOTED THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR AND YOU DO NOT SEE THE MAJOR NETWORKS TALKING ABOUT IT. GO "NORMAL AMERICAN PEOPLE" LIKE MYSELF AND LET'S TURN THIS THINK AROUND. START BY TURNING OFF YOUR TV's. I LOVE YOU ALL AND BE STRONG JUST LIKE HILLARY HAS BEEN. LET'S NOT GIVE IT UP.

Clinton is not going to be my President!!! I will vote for McCain before I see that happen!!!!! And look now, even her own supporters are predicting against her!!!!

Go Home Clinton!! Just drop out!! It is so tacky for a husband and wife both to be President anyway!!! Just like it was tacky for a father and son to be President and you see the ruination that this country is in because of it!!

Hillary you have had your day in the sun when you were having tea parties as First Lady!! Give someone else a chance to show what they can do!!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!! '08

The democrats are deluded if they think red state voters will put a woman or an Aftican-American in the White House. John McCain became the de facto president-elect the moment he took the GOP nomination and the democrats narrowed their field of viable candidates to Clinton and Obama.

Hey CHERYL April 1st, 2008 1:22 pm ET,

You know what's even more funnier? Since you wrote your comment, new polls out in Pa., say that Clinton is only 5 points ahead. LOL!! Now that's funny.

Obama might not win Pa., but he'll compete. He might not win Indiana but it'll be close. Picture that, Oabam losing by 5 points or less in states that HRC has to win by large amounts. He's going to SMOKE Clinton in NC!!

It's over Cheryl, get with the winning team!!

OBAMA 2008

Finally someone out of the Clinton Camp Telling the TRUTH so rare this is! Clinton will try to make up a lie about how he was taken out of context while they we taking incoming fire? ha ha Obama 08

Someone said recently that politics was a contact sport. Wait! That someone was Bill Clinton! Did he mean that for everyone or he mean his wife's campaign was free to throw the punches but no one else?

The only way Hillary can justify her inflated Resume is to claim that her husband had his mind somewhere else. Can't have it both ways, Hillary…

To hear her tell it, Hillary has even more foreign policy experience than even Queen Elizabeth!!

I am 100% for Obama, but if Hillary would win the nomination, I would be 100% behind her.

We can not let a Republican select new members of the Supreme Court!

I think when someone in his position makes a comment like this it means something. Its different if Obama's supporters are counting her out or the Republicans but when her own campaign is ruling out a win for her, it means a lot.

Obama Richardson 08!!!

To: Ken in RI

No, you aren't a trool (I think you meant trole), but you are a person who cannot spell. And, by the way, tap the caps lock key for us please.

PLEASE REPORT THE NEWS, INSTEAD OF BIASED GARBAGE!!!

OBAMA JUST WON TEXAS!

DELEGATE COUNT 99- OBAMA, 94 CLINTON

SHE DIDN'T WIN TEXAS AND YOU PEOPLE NEED TO REPORT THE TRUTH.

If Obama gets the nomination there is no way he will win in the general election. But I really don't believe that will happen. Vote Clinton and elect a person ready to be president. We cannot trust our country to Obama.

America ready for HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Women make up a majority of Democrat party. Black is only one of minority group.
Hillary won all major primaries, and with women and Hispanic votes, Hillary should be the nominee.
