Chelsea Clinton has taken a high-profile role in her mother’s presidential campaign.
Chelsea Clinton has taken a high-profile role in her mother’s presidential campaign.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (CNN) — As Sen. Hillary Clinton's underdog campaign soldiers on through Pennsylvania, Indiana and North Carolina, she has begun casting herself as a champion of democracy.

"There are some folks saying we ought to stop these elections," she said in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 29 as the audience booed the notion. "I don't think we believe that in America," she said. "The more people that have a chance to vote, the better it is for our democracy."

As Pennsylvania's primary nears, Clinton's staffers have increasingly accused Barack Obama's campaign of trying to disenfranchise Democrats. On Monday, in a satellite interview with a television station in Montana, Clinton herself made the charge.

"My take on it is a lot of Sen. Obama's supporters want to end this race because they don't want people to keep voting," she told KTVQ in Billings, Montana. "That's just the opposite of what I believe. We want people to vote. I want the people of Montana to vote, don't you?"

It is a growing theme in Clinton's stump speech as she makes her way through upcoming primary states: that she alone, up against rival forces aiming to silence the millions of voters in the 10 remaining primary and caucus states, will stand up for their right to vote.

and Hillary wants everyone to vote only to overturn their voices and the outcome if its not in her interest…

ltd1974   April 1st, 2008 7:15 pm ET

So some on here are saying that thay want a President who LIED to get votes "Ohio & Texas and many more", and has really no experience as claimed. Wow! this speaks volume on who we are as a people. We had 8 years of bush lies, please no hillary lies for 4yrs which want happen anyways.

ltd1974   April 1st, 2008 7:13 pm ET

Paula! Do your reseach please!!!!!

Dave, Atlanta, GA   April 1st, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Of course they want to end the race. They are leading. If they stopped the voting today, Obama would be the nominee so can you blame them? If I was playing a basketball game and I was up 10 points I would want the buzzer to go off too!!!

calvin   April 1st, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Obama has a better message and he will be able to bring the country back together rather then continue to tear it apart. Hillary should concede and quit dividing the democratic party. I see so many comments from people who state in no uncertain terms that if Obama wins the nomination they will vote for McCain!!!!!! What kind of democrat would do that idiotic thing. On the other hand if Hillary wins the nomination by some miracle I will vote for her in November. I am an Obama supporter and I will stand with the Dems come November because McCain will not be able to bring the country together he will only continue Bush's legacy and policies of the Repubs who will continue to antagonize the rest of the world with our shock and awe. Please quit this mudslinging and divisive tactics on behalf of Hillary. Those tactics only confirm my belief that Hillary will do anything and say anything to win. But like I said before I will support her if she gets the nod. Peace.

vp   April 1st, 2008 7:05 pm ET

it's over

Jay   April 1st, 2008 7:04 pm ET

Yes, Obama wants to end the race because he knows Clinton is a fighter, and she will win the nomination. Clinton would have had the lead if Florida and Michigan votes were counted.

Len Smith   April 1st, 2008 7:03 pm ET

Seems to me that the American people are looking for the sizzle and not the steak by backing Obama. He doesn't say much, but he says it well. He is the least credentialed candidate running this year. So I guess one needs to vote for the dream.

Chuck   April 1st, 2008 7:02 pm ET

"I will definitely vote for Mccain if Hillary is not the nominee even if Hillary endorses him. I personally think she should run as an independent if she is not the nominee so she makes sure Obama does not win"

Matt, it is exactly this kind of lunkheaded thinking that just might get us four more disastrous years of Bush III( McSame) . Are you truly that bitter? Are you that much of a spoil sport that you would turn your back on the country like that? Traitor. Judas.

Of course you might be taking your cue from Hillary herself when she threw the party under the bus by suggesting that she and McCain were the only ones with experience for the job. Sacrilege. And it just goes to show she will do literally anything, including screwing her own party to win. And she wonders why she's behind? Pitiful.

rck   April 1st, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Hillary, I guess you dont realize that Rocky was a fictional movie, just like your campaign, full of fictional stories.

I guess though you will be back about 4 more times to see if you will win, just like the fictional movie Rocky.

Barbara M Campbell   April 1st, 2008 6:53 pm ET

When Hillary's plan to disenfranchise all voters after February 5th wasn't successful, she tried one dishonest tactic after another to bring Obama down. She can't win; she can't pay her bills; and all she's accomplishing is an increase in McCain's poll numbers. Of course Obama's supporters want her out. As Senator Obama has said, however, let her stay in as long as she wants. The emperor's clothes become more and more transparent every time she opens her mouth.

Now, what about those tax returns, White House documents, earmark requests, and donor lists?

Seriously?   April 1st, 2008 6:52 pm ET

I thought I read an article just the other day with Obama encouraging HRC to stay in the race. Am I wrong?

Either way Obama will continue to increase his lead or maintain it. Why would he care if she drops or not?

It is pretty sad when HRC's own supporters is saying that Obama will win…

HAM   April 1st, 2008 6:50 pm ET

I say they should duke it out until the convention… and then one should run third party after that… let the people decide… that's the way it should be…

Never give up
Never surrender

Both of you take it to the finish!

Long Live Democracy!

Tjaye   April 1st, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I think its very misleading of her team to continually perpertrate this lie. Besides, why does she claim to be so anxious to have all the states vote when she's already stated that she is planning to ask the superdelegates to overturn the votes if they are not in her favor?

rck   April 1st, 2008 6:46 pm ET

Hillary landed in Bosnia under sniper fire is what she says, LIER LIER, the video shows different Hillary.

So do we want a President that out right LIES to the American people, if so, I'm sure Hillary will blow more smoke up your you know what.

So I guess that anyone who supports Hillary can be expected to act the same, blow smoke, exagerate the facts and lie to who ever will be gulable enough to listen.

We need change and get rid of the LIEING STATUS QUO out of Washington……….

LETS CHANGE AMERICA FOR OUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS AND CLEAN HOUSE BY GETTING RID OF THE STATUS QUO……..

SlapStick, FL   April 1st, 2008 6:46 pm ET

HRC, Please for once stay focused on the issues. You worry too much about Obama and what he is doing, which is a sure turn off to many. It's like playing a card game; worry about your hand because you can't play whats in the opponents hand!!!

For Obama   April 1st, 2008 6:45 pm ET

Liar give it a rest. Your adding things to peoples mouths. Obama has never once said for Hillary to quit. Stop putting a spin on things that dont spin.

Ann,. Nebraska   April 1st, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Hillary should not end the race. Are Obama's People afraid that She will outnumber Him and Win. Hillary is alot more ready to lead this Nation than Obama. GO HILLARY 2008!!!!!!!

Christian   April 1st, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Go Clinton!!! Keep on fighting for OUR right to vote. Can't believe people are getting brainwashed by an inexperienced candidate. With all our problems today I don't think it's common sense to hand the commander-in-chief post to someone who is nothing but just likable. These are very, very serious things and we will all face grave setbacks if we made a mistake. Wake up people!!!

vinnie nappa   April 1st, 2008 6:36 pm ET

The more people complain about her, the more
I hope she stays in the race. Rev Wright a real nice guy ??

A Bag of Chips   April 1st, 2008 6:36 pm ET

I support Obama but i don't believe the race should stop. However, I don't for one minute believe that "Obama's camp" is who is calling for the race to end. We need to understand the difference between someone being a "supporter" and being "in the camp." I know that sometimes the line becomes blurry, but there is a difference. Saying that "Obama's camp" wants the race to end means that it came officially from Obama himself.

Arthur-Texas   April 1st, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Why does Obama want to end the race now?Do you tell voters in Pennsylvania and other states that have not voted,that they do not counts.
Obama is hiding something and does not want it revealed before the convention.What is it he does not want us to know?
Can we trust this fellow?He hasn't been very honest so far.

Sara from Arizona   April 1st, 2008 6:35 pm ET

Enough of this woman!!! Go away.

Barbara Roberts   April 1st, 2008 6:33 pm ET

I say go Clinton she is the only one for whom I will vote. I don't think Obama should be in there He should wait a few years and get some experence. His huge ego is all that he has. We need someone that knows what is going on in the world. He let his minister preach to him and must not of heard him or he is a big liar whichever he should get out. I don't want to vote republican or for someone other then democrat but I will as I don't want to feel guilty if Obama gets elected and makes a huge mess of things

Ummmmm.....NO!   April 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

I think it's a matter of will Clinton quietly exit through the door or will she have to be shown to the door?

Looks like she will have to be shown:(

Richard   April 1st, 2008 6:31 pm ET

As of today, HRC will have to win 58% of the remaining delegates to make the playoffs…Obama has to win 44%. Unfortunately for HRC even her campaign admits it will most likely not obtain 58% in ANY of the remaining primaries, including Pennsylvania, and will lose at least two States, making her "necessaries" statistically impossible.

Jacko   April 1st, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Keep twisting it and twisting it, Hillary. Why is it so difficult to understand that the urgency for your withdrawal from the campaign is not an attempt to prevent people from voting, but to unite the party once and for all? It is time to drop the selfish attitude and support the front runner once and for all, especially if even your campaign managers are predicting a 5% chance of nomination…

Please Hilary, don't be the next Ralph Nader when John McCain is elected in November. Support your fellow democrat.

Antoine   April 1st, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Ummm… and that's bad because…

Of course they want it to end. That's a no brainer. If she was in the lead she would wanted it over in after Feb. 5.

VOTE ANYONE BUT NOT CLINTON   April 1st, 2008 6:25 pm ET

ACCORDING TO NEW YORK TIMES,
HILLARY IS IN 7.8 MILLION DOLLAR DEBT.
HILLARY'S NEXT BATTLE IS IN BANKRUPTCY COURT.
Hillary donated five million dollar to HERSELF, to her campaign.
Hillary has not paid to the small vendors yet.
BANKRUPTCY for Hillary

Grant   April 1st, 2008 6:24 pm ET

This is political talk, she cannot say, "I have no chance of winning, but I have nothing better to do". The Clintons still have alot of support and will let them down easy. NO WAY! They are going to fight to the end, the floor of the convention and after in the Courts if they do not get their way or happy with the splits out of MI and FL. The only way to get rid of them is to defeat them in Pennsylvania. The people of that good state hold the cards, not MI and FL. If they lose Penn, they are gone, maybe?! They will have a tough time spinning this though…this battle is about the Super Delegates, not the primary voters..they have to destroy Obama to win this and they will. Then take on McCain, and hopes he really screws up then they will back in the White House…

osuji okey   April 1st, 2008 6:23 pm ET

I am a resident of UK,but never miss the situation room by cnn.Firstly,shame on all the clinton supporters who plan to vote mccain when she loses the nomination.Would you all prefer to worsen America's economic woes and its battered global image just because you can't see beyond your racial noses?I would have thought in this day and age common sense would prevail.I think you might be doing your great country a world of good by staying at home rather than showing the world how foolish a people you are.
Go on Barack your charisma has reached out globally.

Patrick, Chicago, IL   April 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

they want the race to end so the party doesn't go into self-destruct mode

Chris in Va.   April 1st, 2008 6:22 pm ET

To the estimated 28% of Clinton supporters who will sit in the cornrer and pout and not vote if Obama is the nominee, or will sentence the country to 4 more years of economic and military disaster by voting McCain because they didn't get their way, it becomes clear why you are Clionton supporters, you are just as juvenile and vidictive as she is. Don't vote, who cares if you vote or not! Or vote McCain, it will at least make the race interesting.

mick   April 1st, 2008 6:17 pm ET

This race is about gender and race and it is only going to get worse.
Hillary has no one to stick up for her when the media tears her apart and it is not fair.
58% of the Hillary's backers won't vote for Obama and I can now see why. Obama is running a good race but he has the media and elected men on his side strong arming the Clinton's.
I for one think Obama better start bringing the voters together Hillary can't do that at this time the media won't let her they would only spin anything she said to make her look bad.

ssemakula kasiita david   April 1st, 2008 6:15 pm ET

I am a Ugandan I wish the best to Hillary, Not only the fruits I witneses in africa but also what I have had off every where your hands, steps, voice and deeds have reached. Democrats should be very carefull for political tricks to power the weak to win him/her at the finals. watch the program of the 'Weakess Link'.

My all the God's vision fill your heart.

Yes, DM again Arlington, TX   April 1st, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Why is it that senator Hillary Clinton wants to stay in the race for the white house buy not be honest to the American people……

Senator Hillary Clinton supporter, Is she honest, was Bill honest is it any of our business?

Carlos Nevarez, CT   April 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Well, it is true that some Obama supporters are calling her to step down, but the current position Senator Clinton is in seems to be a tight rope act. She is becomming really desperate now, and all of her followers (including the Senator) wishes to count Michigan and Florida now. When she stated flatly that it didn't matter in October. Now since the odds are against her, Senator Clinton is becoming a bit paranoid.
A Key backer of Senator Clinton even emphasized that Obama will win. Now, that's only a drop in the bucket, but soon, a torrential storm can form and the wave of Democratic officials telling her to step down will increase 10 fold. If Senator Clinton continues what she is doing, she might never recover politically. And if the Republicans win the Presidency, she would be scorned for the rest of her life.

McCain 2008!   April 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

I hope Hilliary continues to fight for the voters in FL & MI!

Mike   April 1st, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Oh Please Hillary, you shameless cunning liar! You would love the super delegates to steal the election from the voters. Your follower Gov. Revel said that all the rules should be changed to allow you to disenfranchise the voters and be the nominee based on 'potential' electoral college votes that 'you might' be expected to recieve in the general election. Your crazed quest for personal power is scary.

Roby, AR   April 1st, 2008 6:07 pm ET

I don't think that Sen. Clinton should give up like Mitt Romney, but the way Sen. Clinton has allowed her campaign to be so disrespectful…it just sickens me. As a former Hillary supporter, I'm really disgusted at the way she's managed so far. It's obvious that Sen. Obama is the better candidate this year.

SPH   April 1st, 2008 6:06 pm ET

As soon as a candidate starts saying "every vote must be counted," you know that he or she has already lost. Hillary seems unable to come to terms with the fact that she will not be the first female president. It's sad to see such a talented person become such a desperate and pathetic figure.

brandon   April 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Get a life. Obama on TV in his speach said Hillary can stay as long as she wants and thats her right.
Hillary you are throwing oil into the water and making more statements like the Bosnia one and thats not a miss spoke , its an out and out LIE.
Run your race and win if you can but dont spread that crap around like your the only one in the race
USA deserves better than this smokescreen.

Seth   April 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

To anyone who cries "but, but, but if you want the race to end, you are disenfranchising voters!" -

What if, at this very moment, with 10 primaries to go, and millions of voices left unheard, Clinton had only 1% of the vote while Obama had 99%.

Would you still think Hillary should stay in the race? Of course not. But by your argument, you would then STILL be disenfranchising all of the people that had yet to vote. Even so, you would of course suggest that she drop out of the race.

So, what those of us who would like to see her drop out are saying is that her chances of winning (while more than 1%) are so slim that it is a waste of time and effort on our beloved party to continue this thing. It is the same argument everyone would make if my 1% vs 99% scenario were true.

The difference here is that Hillary and her supporters are disillusioned, and think that she can somehow pull this off. But all that I keep hearing and reading is that barring a meteorite striking the Obama headquarters or Obama dressing like a woman, it just ain't gonna happen.

So, unless people start to pressure her, here is what is going to happen. We are all going to spend the next few months arguing and spending our time and money on this fight instead of the fight against McCain. And then come July 1 when the superdelegates will finally put their foots down, vote, and make Obama the nominee, we are all going to look back and go, "well that was stupid. we could have done this 3 months ago like we were all praying for."

Finally… Any "real" member of the Democratic Party who is for either candidate, and will refuse to vote for the other in the Presidential election is a fool. This whole process is about doing what we think is best for this country. If you are willing to hurt your country just to spite your party, than you are very unpatriotic. I am an ardent supporter of Obama, and I don't love Hillary or her campaign, but I do love this country. I love this country enough that I will of course still vote for Hillary above McCain.

Katherine   April 1st, 2008 6:04 pm ET

People have not voted yet. Let's not call the race before it's over CNN. Fair and balanced is what you say you are, so behave like it.

suzy   April 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

And in case anyone reads this….geezzz Obama supporters - lighten up about the bowling! Where is your sense of humor???
I think your age is showing……..

Tom   April 1st, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Hillary I dont believe you and your husband, you lied about Bosnia. obama said that you should stay in the race, Obama is not thinking about Hillary he trying to unite the demoncrate party and the American people. Hillary I am saying get out because you destroying the demoncrate party.

Eli   April 1st, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Long time DEMOCRAT that will vote for McCain in the fall if Obama gets the nomination by lies and deceit. The lies and deceit is the fact that the media has been way to kind and forgiven on all his mistakes.

Celeste   April 1st, 2008 5:54 pm ET

No Senator Clinton, what we would like is for you to stop your republican campaign tactics and for you to stop stealing the ideas of others and inserting them into your own campaign promises. Especially when you have never kept any of the campaign promises you made in your race for the Senate.

You are a huge phony. Your entire platform is based upon the achievements of others..

IF you cared at all about this nation and it's future, you would not be running a "win at any cost" campaign. The only reason anyone would want you out is because you are a disgrace to our party.

More Clinton Lies   April 1st, 2008 5:53 pm ET

More Lies by Hillary Clinton.

She is either deaf, blind,stupid or all the above.

Obama has said within the last day or so that Hillary should stay in the race if she wants, so what is COMPLAINING about now?

If she isn't stirring the pot Hillary is like a fish out of water. Blah, Blah, Blah.

Hillary, your fifteen minutes of fame were up years ago. Have the common decency to end this before you hand McCain the Presidency. Your lies have finally caught up to you, you are reaping what you sowed!

By the way, you are no Rocky - he was pure of heart and without guile!

Thomas   April 1st, 2008 5:53 pm ET

How can people vote for someone who worked to deffend Wall-Mart.
Clinton says she is for the little man, LOL, but she was an attorney for Wall-Mart. A company who is all about money. A company who promotes their workers to go on medicade for Insurance. A company that took a women who worked for them to court; who sufferd brain damage and is now has to be in a rest home for care. Her husband can not afford to pay for the bill but Wall-Mart needs the money more than they do I guess. Clinton was an Attorney for Wall-Mart. She in the past deffended Wall-Mart, and says she is for the working men and women of the USA. Where are the Labor Unions at Wall-Mart? Clinton.

Gary in Toronto   April 1st, 2008 5:53 pm ET

The race isn't over for Clinton - she's running for 2012 and actively trying to use hypocrisy, cynicism and anything else in the sink to do enough damage to Obama and the party to make sure such a run is possible.

No wonder Nader encouraged her to stay in the race - she has become him .

Eric, Durham, NC   April 1st, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Janie, in Raleigh, NC…

If this is the straw that broke the camels back and you are leaving the DNC because your poster child Hillary has lost then let me be the first to show you the door and say goodbye and good riddance.

Your threat to leave should be followed by the action of actually leaving. Don't threaten the party just leave…

As for your little speech… You paid taxes not because you wanted to but, because it is the law. You worked in integrated schools not because you cared about education for everyone but because in Raleigh, NC there are no white only schools…. Get off your high horse and get Real !!!!

BLAME OTHERS FOR MY LOSS....? (FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER)   April 1st, 2008 5:52 pm ET

HERE WE GO AGAIN….FIRST IT WAS THE DNC, THEN THE MEDIA THEN OBAMA, BECAUSE OF THE DNCs RULES…AND NOW, IT'S TIME TO BLAME OBAMA AGAIN BECAUSE HE'S GETTING ALL THE VOTES AND WINNING WHILE SHE'S LOOSING ON ALL CATEGORIES. IT'S TIME FOR A REALITY, YOU CANT WIN HILLARY, YOUR OWN PEOPLE SAID SO TODAY………AND FRANKLY, I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU BACK IN NEW YORK

GOG BLESS THE HONORABLE PASTOR WRIGHT FOR TELLING THE TRUTH! OBAMA 08!

Former Obama Supporter   April 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Obama and his supporters do want to end the race. They disenfranchised Michigan and Florida and they won’t get their vote in the general election if Obama gets the nomination. He did nothing to help get a re-vote. All he did was sit back and put his feet up and said that he will listen to whatever the DNC says. Well, that wasn’t good enough. He has shown that he doesn’t care for their vote and he will pay for it. He will not win Florida or Michigan and will lose his chances of getting back the White House.

Rose - Baltimore, MD   April 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hillary Clinton, I hope you know that a majority of people are not fooled by your lies. We heard Obama say that you are free to stay in the race as long as you wish (though you are not going anywhere). Please stop your spin.

Ratgurl   April 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

It's amazing how Clinton keeps putting words into Obama's mouth. Obama has never suggested that anybody be kept from voting…. quite the opposite actually.

And as an Obama supporter I can honestly say that I'm getting tired of all the backbiting & personal attacks. I, PERSONALLY, would like to see this end mostly because of the soap opera that has ensued. If we could have everyone who has not yet voted vote tomorrow, it would be a huge relief, so that we can all just focus on the General election instead of this now ridiculous primary.

And as a side note, I'm getting pretty sick of hearing Clinton puff up her resume, only to get shot back down into reality - it really is getting pretty pathetic!

Jake, California   April 1st, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hillary, read the writing on the wall sweetheart! It's over!

Karen   April 1st, 2008 5:46 pm ET

The Race is Not over and she should not drop out. What is it about the Obama supporters that they are so nasty and also unable to do the math? Obama hasn't won. There are too many states that have yet to vote. They should be able to vote for at least the two remaining candidates! Are you just afraid that we will find out more distasteful things about Obama if the race should continue?

Won't impact me - I'll be doing a write in vote for Hillary if she doesn't win the nomination. I will NOT vote for that charlatan who has not done much of anything since he has been in the Senate. I will have a clear conscience if Hillary is not President because like the last 8 years, I will not have contributed to putting another moron in the White House.

And to D. Lalaine in Oregon - my IQ is probably 30 points higher than yours so get over yourself.

Bridget   April 1st, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Hang in there Hillary. Don't let the old boys club push you around. I want to know how all the states are going to vote. The Michigan and Florida votes were denied to you. It's up to the remaining primary states to make a statement about their favorite candidate. I have this feeling Hillary that they won't let you down. It's time for women in those states to push back and show the world that this election won't be denied to a candidate like it was in the 2000 election.

Ashley   April 1st, 2008 5:45 pm ET

I wouldn't be supprised if Clinton lost. Obama is definately gonna win.

Puddytat   April 1st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

The race is over when the PEOPLE say it is … right now HER supporters want her to stay in as long as she can …

I wish Huckabee would have been able to stay in . I REFUSE TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN just because he and OBAMA are the Media choice … and because of the way CNN gave him and Romney ALL of the debate time … I REFUSE to watch their channel and I write their sponsors and tell them I will not buy their product as long as I see it on CNN.

Dan , TX   April 1st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Obama is just fine with Hillary staying in the race. Some of Obama's supporters want it to be over so they can focus and fund-raise for the fall. But I want Obama to campaign in the remaining states and MI and FL.

He is already tied with Clinton in MI, so a MI revote would be great. He will need 4 weeks to campaign in FL then he'll win there too.

Clinton is a great person, I respect her so much. She has been so wrongly criticized by so many people it just isn't fair. Clinton has a long career ahead of her and I know she'll continue to provide outstanding service to our country.

But, I do believe Obama is the type of leader we need now, I hope people who do not now back Obama will take a close look and I am sure they will see why I believe Obama has the policies and the strategy to implement policies that will propel us to a better future.

The only reason she continues to be campaigning is to fill her empty coffers so she can pay off her enormous debt.
I think that the people don't need her to run the country if she can't even manage her own bills!

Bee   April 1st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

She doesn't look at the polls, she doesn't watch the news either. I saw Obama clearly saying yesterday she could go on as long as she wanted.

This is a sad day.

Sharon   April 1st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Media bias against Hillary is at an all time high…..you better be careful….

You are going down a rather slippery slope…..if you continue to bash her the way you have the last couple weeks, not only will your precious BO lose 28% of her voters, he will lose the women's vote as well………..

Dani   April 1st, 2008 5:43 pm ET

For a guy who speaks of change so much, Obama sure walks the walk of the same old same old. He plays dirty politics "mispeaks" a lot (more than Clinton does) and is held accountable for nothing. Sounds familiar. Come on Al Gore, step up, we could use a proven good intention and foresight to get this country back to greatness.

Festus, Montana   April 1st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

. . . .Hillary, your dust won't fly here in Montana. We are all educated
out here.

RW   April 1st, 2008 5:42 pm ET

It's true, the Obama cronies are desperate for her to drop out becaue of one painful truth… He CAN'T SEAL THE DEAL. Obama NEEDS her to drop out to get the nomination.

If the nomination were inevitable as some are saying, then he would have sealed the nomination 2 months ago. The fact is, that he is barely ahead in the popular vote and delegates. He has won more states only because he has done so well in red states that won't even be in play in November. His inability to win the ever important swing states shows how weak his candidacy really is.

Don't fool yourselves people. If Obama gets the nomination, he'll be lucky to do as well as John Kerry did 4 years ago.

Stan   April 1st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Why are the postings from the Obama supporters always so immature? Tired of seeing childish comments on these blogs. Don't we all have minds of our own? Why would a tight race hurt anyone? Everyone votes and the winner moves on to the next round, that is how it works in any competition. Why all these whining?

Mike in Houston   April 1st, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton compared herself to Rocky at a campaign stop in PA. In this she is absolutely correct. Both her and Rocky are fictional characters with no depth beyond celluloid.

CultureGeek   April 1st, 2008 5:40 pm ET

That is ridiculous. She _cannot_ get a lead in pledged delegates unless she gets a landslide in every remaining contest and that's not going to happen.

Clinton wants to go all the way to the convention in order to go over the voters' heads and she's been quite open about trying to do that. First she was wooing superdelegates to go over voters' heads, and now she's even trying to get pledged delegates to negate votes already cast!

How is that championing democracy?

shawn   April 1st, 2008 5:40 pm ET

It's April, maybe we can be honored to see your tax returns sometime soon. I know it will be hard to explain to blue collar guys like me how if you are so concerned about the poor why is it that you have millions. When you have worked for the public for 35 years. Maybe you got a tax exempt status for combat pay in Bosnia.

Sherry, Vermont   April 1st, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Hillary For Vice President 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Herman LA, CA   April 1st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Well Hillary keep going and we will keep funding Obama to run as long as he has too. We will give him a trillion dollars if need be because there is to much at stake to let this country go to hell any further.

Obama 08!!!

Go Hillary!!! Cosmic Comedy Queen!   April 1st, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I've got some news for Clinton.. The race was over weeks ago.

Paula   April 1st, 2008 5:34 pm ET

In answer to the bogus e-mail re. Obama having a better record in the Senate, please read Newsweek article debunking the bogus claim about Clinton's legislative record. Clinton definitely has done far more. Just another lie from the Obama surrogates!!!!!

Tyrone Brown, Seattle, WA   April 1st, 2008 5:33 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter and I agree that the nomination process should continue. In the end it only helps Obama, making him a "fully vetted" candidate and preparing him for anything and everything the Republican party will sling at him.

As we move forward to November, I look forward to joining my family, friends, co-workers and neighbors in the democratic process and making Barack Obama the next President of the United States.

Obama '08

cximines   April 1st, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Why do you think Hillary is being treated unfairly? No one is unfairly attacking the Clinton family. People just want her to do the right thing in all situations especially if she loves this country and the democratic party. I think she should stay in the race, she's just making Obama tougher so he can withsand the attacks of the evil republicans. We know they are going to be mean and nasty so she's just giving him a taste of what's to come.

Dave   April 1st, 2008 5:20 pm ET

And he was on attack on sniper fire in Bosnia!

Penn State   April 1st, 2008 5:20 pm ET

I am so sick of seeing all of these stupid commercials with Obama!! It is starting to get very annoying. He is flooding the airwaves with his commercials. I change the channel every time I see his commercial. Whenever I change the channel, there is another Obama commercial. I feel like I am being forced to watch him.

Bad Headlne   April 1st, 2008 5:20 pm ET

The headline is false, CNN makes it looks like its all Obama's idea to end the race when he clearly said that Hillary should run as long as she wants.

It should read: Obama SUPPORTERS wants to end race.

Debra   April 1st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is being exposed to harsh and humiliating treatment by CNN and some other media. Over and over again CNN reminds people about mistakes made by her husband. However, her small family is still united. CNN, what is the purpose of these evil nastinesses? Are you trying to break her down mentally? If so you are not going to succeed. Hillary Clinton is not only clever she is also an extraordinary strong personality. That´s why she is going to be a great President.

At the beginning of the campaign I thought that Barack Obama was an interesting person. I have changed my mind.

Jay   April 1st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Come on Hillary, Obama did not say that. Why do you keep making up stories and keeping some of your supporters so discouraged, take the high road and talk about the issues, .

Jason   April 1st, 2008 5:19 pm ET

"My take on it is a lot of Sen. Obama's supporters want to end this race because they don't want people to keep voting."

Really Senator?. . . Really?

Interesting   April 1st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Every time she tries to manipulate the public it back fires. All her 'experience' is out dated.

Mel in Missoula   April 1st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

I saw Senator Clinton's interview on our local TV station this morning.
As an avid Obama supporter, I msut say that I agree wholeheartedly with her!
I do not think that the race needs to end before those of us in the state of Montana have the opportunity to cast our votes in the primary. This is the first time we have had a real chance to be heard in a race that really matters to the American people. I will glady go and cast my vote for Senator Obama on June 3rd and get him one step closer to the White House!

Bring it on!
Fired Up!
Ready to go!
Yes we can!!!!!!!

Red Dog from ND but now in Floida   April 1st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

Jenny, TX   April 1st, 2008 5:18 pm ET

First, they shut out the voices of MI and FL voters. Second, they are trying to shut out others. What a shaaaaaame. Americans are too wise to see it through. The president of America must be the one for every America.

American Worker   April 1st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Can someone call her on her TV ads in PA? How can this liar claim in public that she will end outsourcing and fine companies who sed jobs overseas?

Hillary Clinton brought TATA counsulting into NY as one of her first acts as NY senator. They are the #1 outsourcer of American jobs to India. They outsource $4 billion in US jobs annually to India. And she brought them here.

Besides NAFTA, Bill Clinton expanded the H-1 and L-1 visa programs, and brought tens of thousands more people into the US, mainly from India and China, to take good paying jobs from US citizens in IT, telecommunications, and tech.

Once again, she lies and lies. Do a little research and do not be so gullible as to believe what this woman says. No American worker should support Clinton if they care about jobs here, particularly anybody in a union. She was also on union busting WalMart's board.

Don, MA   April 1st, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Janie,

Just who will you be punishing if you leave the Democratic Party?

Disallusioned   April 1st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

As well as leaving the Democratic party and the whole process entirely, I also may stop tuning into CNN altogether if they don't down shift the Obama propaganda machine they're running. Never have I seen more blatant bias from the media as in this witch hunt of Senator Clinton and the call for her to leave the race. It's disgusting & un American (just ask Obama's Rev, he should know.) Let the primaries go on & let the voters decide, period.

Ed   April 1st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Duhhhhh….

linda in illinois   April 1st, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Here she goes again!!!! She needs to end the race. She's 8.9 million in debt and counting. The last ones to be paid are those poor souls from OHIO. Those working people that she is SO CONCERNED ABOUT TO GET THEIR VOTE!!!! Then leaves them UNPAID because she has better things to do with the money!!!!
Don't BLAME your opponent for your inability to PAY to stay in the race.

kathe oakland, california   April 1st, 2008 5:15 pm ET

YOU ARE SO FULL OF YOURSELF HILLARY. You have proven to me you do not care about Americans only yourself.

FrankSmith   April 1st, 2008 5:15 pm ET

We choose our spouses for better or for worse!! Why should we let Hillary redefine the basic rules of life for us in this nation? Are the Clintons better than others who take the marriage vows? Most people are out there voting for Hillary because they "believe" (or HOPE, oops) that they will bring back the "good-old economic" days of Bill. So, why should Hillary not take the "bad" behaviors of all the Clintons during their terms in office? I just don't get it!

Very Concerned Community   April 1st, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Senator Clinton will do the most for Americans.

All Americans should jump on board with her.
She has the drive and the fight in her to help all of America.
She'll beat McCain. If she can stand tall with the media destroying her and Obama getting all the attention, she will knock McCain out.

President Clinton is a plus also.
President Clinton has been the most loved political figure for years.
He is not only loved in the US but also internationally.
He has balance the budget and kept us at peace in the world.

Republicans want Obama to win so they can win the White House.
Please support Hillary and STOP knocking her.

Wake up America!

I used to be a Democrat   April 1st, 2008 5:15 pm ET

It is unfortunate that Obama's supporters are so full of hate. They are showing the world that the Democratic party is truely not democratic.

David Hodges   April 1st, 2008 5:14 pm ET

The problem is not that she has decided to stay in the race. The probelm is that her strategy is to tear down Barack Obama (even though there is 90% chance that he will be the nominee) instead of focusing on the issues and why she feels she would be the best choice for President. Oh yeah, I forgot…..she lies everytime she opens her mouth!!!!

Camp Obama supporters.......   April 1st, 2008 5:14 pm ET

I no longer believe the majority of Senator Obama supporters are the well educated. Educated people talk issues and do not go into 'slime mode' as is evident by these postings.

Here are the facts - and I would urge you to prove these numbers to be incorrect……..if you can:

28% and growing in numbers Clinton supporters will not support Senator Obama if he is the nominee.

Senator Obama will not carry Michigan and Florida in the General Election. (Clinton Supporters+ Michigan+ Florida= approx. 4 million democratic votes lost)

Senator McCain has approximately 279 electoral college vs. Clintons 273 and Senator McCain has approximately 382 electoral college vs. Obama's 170…..these are important because these are for the states that have already voted. Electoral college is whoever has the majority is the President of the United States!

Senator Obama will loose miserably in November! This nomination is for alot more than just the nomination and I am sure for a fact that the Camp Obama folks have no idea of that….just a bunch of followers! Too bad…

Franky   April 1st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Bill, Albany NY   April 1st, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Everytime I see Democrats complaining about wanting this to end I get amused. You people shouldnt be pissed at either Hillary or Obama, you should be pissed at Howard Dean and the Democratic leadership for not holding its primaries closer together.

Plz! Lets not loose sight that loyalty to the Dem party comes before any one specific candidate. No one likes their guy/girl to lose, but at the end of the day it been a hard fought game and Unity will be the trophy for all Dems.

Jeff   April 1st, 2008 5:11 pm ET

She's pretty much spot on actually. Obama's goons are doing everything they can to get her out of the race before the voting is done. They invented this pretext that actually finishing this primary cycle with 'damage' the party and help the Repubs win. Its all a lot of hogwash.

Also, in case you can't count, Obama cannot win the nomination without the votes of the superdelegates either. So if they go for him, it is just as 'disenfranchising' to all the Hillary supporters. So the malarky about Hillary staying in and 'stealing' the election is just more scare tactics by Obama's kool-aide mob.

Let the race run its course, put your desire for instant gratification on the backburner, and lets see how this thing plays out.

Hal   April 1st, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Give me a break —– This election will be closer than people think, and we don't know how the convention will work out — If the people from Florida & Michigan have a voice at the convention - and - and the Super delegates favor Ms Clinton - then why should (or would) she drop out. Pushing her out at this point is a low ball tactic to avoid the chance that Mr Obama will be defeated. And as for intelligence being equated to voting for Mr Obama - I would think not after reading the Obama favorite comments on this page. — Everyone has a voice…….Let them express it..

sally   April 1st, 2008 5:09 pm ET

When I read these nasty comments, I am ashamed of what my country has become.

Jeff   April 1st, 2008 5:08 pm ET

So - this is the pity pot for Pennsylvania? Hillary generates her votes by playing victim - do we not get that yet? Even though Obama has said, "Carry on" - she still rails on as the poor abused woman in the campaign. How long will she continue to fool us?

Jeanne   April 1st, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Hilary's world appears to be filled with lies and delusions. If one lie doesn't work, make up another one. No wonder she's falling in the polls. She wouldn't know the truth if it walked up and bit her. And if she did, she certainly wouldn't speak it.

Mike   April 1st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

INACCURATE. Obama himself said she can stay in the race as long as she wants and he has no problem finishing this out. Some Obama supporters have suggested she get out. Its a big difference. Get your facts straight.

Hillary is right,Let the people vote.Then the Super Delegates go with the will of the people,the one with most states,most pledged delegates and popular votes.And if all you Clintonites want to vote for McCain go for it !!!

Larry, Hazleton, Pa   April 1st, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Yes- Mrs Clinton has the right to continue but at what cost - If the Dems should lose in November I wonder what kind of reception she will have upon returning to the Senate.

doug   April 1st, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Is this another comment that is a fib? Oh my I mean maybe she misspoke because you allready ran that clip that Obama said she should stay in the race.

Dan, MA   April 1st, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I think it's time for Clinton to call it quits. Unless America is more corrupt than we all think, she's not going to pull every superdelegate to her side. And without the support of the people, she's never going to win. All that her dirty tactics are accomplishing is creating a rift between Democrats. And as far as those who are eager to elect McCain instead of your preferred Democrat candidate, good luck with your hundred years in Iraq.

Lorelei   April 1st, 2008 4:55 pm ET

How about Hillary release her tax returns and then she will be in a better position for the American people to trust her. Obama is not keeping her from doing that, nor is he keeping her from releasing her earmarks.
Let's talk about what is really going on.

Madison , PA   April 1st, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Hillary you make yourself just ridiculous.

Chris W.   April 1st, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Interesting…. because after everyone votes (and Obama has the lead), SHE is the one who is going to PURPOSELY disenfranchise voters by having their votes overturned by superdelegates and credentials committees.

She can't have it both ways, but nice spin nonetheless!

Wait a minute.

Step back and think. Isn't this democracy built on the sovriegnty of the individual vote? Since when does the DNC count more than that one person in PA or IN or NC who want to cast their vote?

Think about it. If your state is at the end of the primary cycle and the DNC wants to avoid a long haul election — you may never have a vote.

The DNC needs to step aside and let people vote and then get together and actually do some work so the next election will actually work for the PEOPLE!

I Agree with Janie, Raleigh, N.C.   April 1st, 2008 4:50 pm ET

I am fed up with these rude, obnoxious children, I don't intend to vote for someone who garners this kind of hate in their supporters, and I don't intend to vote for someone who calls themselves a democrat and refuses to count the votes in a presidential primary.

voting is an American principle, and you have to love America in order to cherish it I guess.

Jack   April 1st, 2008 4:50 pm ET

This woman continues to lie to the public. Obama has said more then once that she should run as long as she wants.

Is it not a lie when she never heard him say that she should get out of the race. More reason not to vote for her. She will not know the truth even if it hit her in the face. Go away.

sozzi   April 1st, 2008 4:50 pm ET

CNN, stop calling Hillary an underdog. Hillary was a favorite before the primaries, who couldn't close the deal on Feb. 05. NOW, she about to become a LOSER, not an underdog.

VM   April 1st, 2008 4:49 pm ET

At this point, I hope she continues to the inevitable demise of her entire political career. I have seriously had it with her and entitlement issues.

Rose of San Antone   April 1st, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Who do Obama backers think they are to tell Hillary to drop out of the race. There are still some states that have not voted. I think the Obama backers are arrogent to suggest that. They don't want Michigan and Ohio to be placed at the convention because they know Hillary would win the Nomination. Of all the people who endorsed Obama I was most disappointed with Bill Richardson. I supported him at the beginning - he was my first choice for President. I just hope there were no backroom deals made, but I wouldn't be surprised because all politicians are alike. I am glad Hillary is not quitting, she is not a quitter. GO HILLARY !

Asare   April 1st, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Jessi, Fl   April 1st, 2008 4:45 pm ET

This is rich coming from a woman who has repeatedly hinted it's okay for pledged delegates and superdelegates to overturn the will of the voters…I wonder how much she'll care about democracy when she's behind in the popular vote in June and needs supers to ignore the elections and pick her??

Watcher   April 1st, 2008 4:45 pm ET

For the life of me I cannot understand the hostility towards the Clintons from their own party. Shame on you demoratics who feel the need to constantly belittle her and President Clinton just to lift up Obama. That is not what the party use to be. We use to stick together and agree to disagree, but now it seems to be okay to trash each other. With party members like you, who needs Rush or Rove

Eddie G   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Blah, Blah, Blah….she just needs to go away. She blames the results of her poor campaign strategy on Obama. She agreed that FL and MI would not count when she thought she had the nomination wrapped up as a gift to her, but now wants to change the rules, and it is Obama's fault. She claims fatigue made her say that she was dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, and by the way, she is fatigued because Obama is beating her and she has to do some work. Obama's fault again. Now the one thing she can't blame on Obama, but probably will, is that she has a nasty personality and is a stubborn mule that won't go away.

Dylan   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Actually no, Hillary… wrong AGAIN. Barack himself said last week that you should stay in the race as long as you want to and have every right to.

This is actually one topic on which I disagree with him… I think you should drop out now. But that's me, not Obama - so stop making blatanly false statements.

Jay   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Hillary needs to stay till the convention. She is the only one left capable of taking this country back to it's former greatness and prosperity.
Obama is a fraud.If he is ever elected President our country will burn like Rome did and be completely destroyed.
Hillary all the way 08!!!

Lin   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Obama has a Senate history of jumping on the coat tails of others - that goes back to the state senate in Chicago. So, you are really fooling yourselves if you believe that the experience he does have in any way compares with Sen. Clinton's. Obama needs to spend some time actually working in the Senate. He's all for the prize, but not willing to do the work that gets him there. We can't afford to have on the job training.

Iamwmd   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Just the latest example of her lies and the deciding factor that will prevent her from becoming the Democratic nominee.

She continues to put herself in the spotlight and exxagerate each and every time.

If I was Camp Obama I would focus entirely on the remaining delegates and John McCain and let her continue to put her foot in her mouth.

Obama 08

Jim in FL   April 1st, 2008 4:44 pm ET

"We want people to vote. I want the people of Montana to vote, don't you?"

Come on Hillary..Obama himself did not say that? Matter of fact he wants you to stay as long as you want. It's the elders or superdelegates you have to blame NOT Obama. Why twist words? You are losing your credibility.

I think Hillary Clinton needs to focus on running a Presidential campaign. It is time for her to start focusing on Senator Mccain's platform. Her remarks are not helping the party. Although I am an Obama supporter, I will vote for her if she wins the nomination. But her campaing is focusing minor issues. Her supporters are also requesting she leave the race. Her information is not accurate. I truly wish her the best.

"There are some folks saying we ought to stop these elections," she said in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 29 as the audience booed the notion. "I don't think we believe that in America," she said. "The more people that have a chance to vote, the better it is for our democracy."

She then quickly added "But the superdelegates shouldn't pay attention to the popular vote. At all. Seriously."

Hillary and the media are going to milk this story forever. Only some supporters said that, the same thing HER supporters have said. Enough is enough. Good grief, doesn't Hillary have anything else to talk about? Now she's Rambo? Really now…how high schoolish. The only one trying to stir up trouble has been Hillary Clinton ALL ALONG!

Brace yourself for the Hostile comments from the Obamabots.

Hillary just need to cut it out. Its so outrageous to blame Obama for a pledge both of you signed last year not to campaign in Florida and Michigan. Enough of these politics and lies that the Bush and Cheney administration has fed us for seven years now.

We have listened to Hillary Clinton and her husband say let the people decide who their nominee should be and so far the people are leanning towards Obama so its time the Clintons show the American people some respect and get out of the race.

Yes Hillary, only yesterday he came out and said you should stay in, but he wants to end your campaign, right?

…and what the heck is your supporter, Goevernor Ed Randell doing on Fox News saying that they are the only fair news channel?

I believe that if Hillary stay all the way to the August Convention She WIll be the the democratic nominee and Followed by the nomination the Next President of the United States … If how ever Obama wins the nomination I for the first time will Vote for The Republican Nominee .. John McCain — John McCain and Hillary Clinton Has The Knowledge and the Experiance this Country needs ….. ANd put Change Forth In THe United States of America … Where Obama has been running for President 2 of the 3 years he has been in the senate as a junior member .. I feel that he will bring change just like Bush has done for this Country for the Worse :-(

Just the latest example of her lies and the deciding factor that will prevent her from becoming the Democratic nominee.

She continues to put herself in the spotlight and exxagerate each and every time. It has to be something she's drinking to cause her to be so dishonest because I sure her parents didn't raise her like that.

If I was Camp Obama I would focus entirely on the remaing delegates and John McCain and let her continue to put her foot in her mouth.

What was that letter from Sen Clinton's financiers/supporters to Ms Pelosi about - superdelegates? Werent they telling Ms Pelosi to keep quiet about how superdelegates should choose their candidate? What happened to that news?

shirley   April 1st, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Hillary is a liar, again. Senator Obama said "Hillary should continue to campaign for as long as she wants". It is the Democratic party that has grown tired of Hillary's negative campaign towards her fellow Democrat. Hillary should quit only if she continues to refuse the release her 2000 to 2006 tax returns; because if that is the case there must be a financial scandal there which will deem her unfit to run.

You would think with all of this disarray in the Democrat Party, the GOP would gather some steam and put forth an agenda with their presumed candidate.
