As the weather gets warmer, some are calling for a campaign cooldown.

(CNN) – In a campaign season growing more heated by the day, one word keeps making an appearance: chill.

This morning, Sen. Tom Harkin — an undeclared superdelegate — became the latest politician to call for a cooldown, telling reporters on a conference call reported by Radio Iowa that former President Bill Clinton needs to “chill out.”

A local journalist asked about a report of an alleged Clinton “meltdown” during a private meeting with California superdelegates, and asked whether he was doing his wife Hillary Clinton's campaign more harm than good.

"I'm not going to judge that," responded Harkin. "I did say before he ought to chill out a little bit and from what I've seen I think he has, but again this recent thing in California, I don't know."

Harkin isn't the first congressional Democrat to call for a freeze on tough trail talk. Shortly before the Super Tuesday primary contests, Rep. James Clyburn told CNN the former president should lower the temperature on his campaign rhetoric.


.
“I think they would say in Gullah-Geechee country, he needs to chill a little bit. I hope he understands what that means,” said Clyburn. “I can understand him wanting to defend his wife's honor and his own record, and that is to be expected. But you can't do that in a way that won't engender the kind of feelings that seem to be bubbling up as a result of this.”

But Clinton himself has called for party leaders to put their worries on ice. "There is somehow the suggestion that because we are having a vigorous debate about who would be the best president, we are going to weaken this party in the fall," he said Sunday at the California Democratic Party convention. "Chill out.

"We're going to win this election if we just chill out and let everybody have their say."

Bill needs to support his wife in a productive and appropriate way, and preserve his reputation being a past US president. We do not want the reputation of a US president to be tarnished (unfortunately by himself.)

US is being laughed at the way he behaved.

MD   April 3rd, 2008 8:05 pm ET

I am not sure who, in the Clinton camp, is running for office. Is it Bill (again?), is it Chelsea, or is it Hillary?

One thing is for sure: Political greed is a family affair in the Clinton household.

May be there is a silver lining in Monica's aftermath: The Clintons are sure a united family.

Joe Payne   April 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Obama is all talk and he is the one that needs to quit.

Right on Bill, hopefully all the morons in this country will get a clue and vote for the best candidate…instead of a dude who copies other people's speeches!

linda hemmingsen   April 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

What a bunch of mean spirited people. obama supporters are really showing how there leader will be>do you honestly think that what the media says about the clintons is true. man you guys are really stupid. this is all about swift boating hillary and bill to ruin them completly. obaqma supporters a,the ccn news media have been hammerings away the negative 24-7 and obama gets positive. we canadians are finding it sickening. we at least appreciate the clintons and all the years they have given to your country you really don't deserve it. you have not once looked at obamas record in chicago, all the lies and distortions he has said. or the relationship with tony resko or the other corrupt people who donated for him and got favors. Last i heard that was crooked but oh well he gives a great speech empty but great. you are once again falling for the bush trap of a sweet talker, a liarer and he won't help you at all. but heh! if that is what you want. why do you think everyone is attcking hillary ?because she is strong and she could win but obama he is not. for you to say because bill had a affair she shouldn't be elected, why not he was a great president, ?.

Taylor   April 3rd, 2008 8:03 pm ET

Who actually believe that whole california democrats thing. I'm not so easily bought by false stories spun by the media that would suggest that Bill Clinton a genius in the world of politics and strategy would ever do somethgin so stupid.

This is a nonpoint and I feel for the obamacrats that believe it.

Richard, St. Paul, MN   April 3rd, 2008 8:02 pm ET

Bill Clinton shouldn't "Chill Out," he should "Get Out" of the race that is, and Hillary, the second runner up, should "Get Out" as well. Obama '08!

Marcia, MO   April 3rd, 2008 8:00 pm ET

Hill, hon, why don't you put your feet up, have a nice hot toddy, and just relax into a big ole club chair. Yeah, just chill. I know it's been rough, but having a lyin' two-faced husband aint helpin' your cause.

It's okay, really.

Deborah   April 3rd, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is not the first woman president i want. I would love to see a woman as president of the USA but NOT Mrs. Clinton. I used to be a Bill Clinton supporter but after seeing the HIllary Clinton campaign in action, I realize that the Republicans were right in their attacks of the Clintons. We cannot deal with four more years of Clinton lies and scandals and the Clinton entitlement factor- hello, Chelsea…the whole family is so annoying. I whole heartedly support Obama- 08

Brian   April 3rd, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Hey Mike look at the recent polls!

Jay (Los Angeles)   April 3rd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

So let it be written, so let it be done

eleanor fitzgerald   April 3rd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

Wouldn't you all just love it if Bill Clinton "chilled out" and Hillary withdrew. As for me, I say "Go Hillary". Obama should consider withdrawing. Who ever heard of him prior to this election except in his own state. I am underwhelmed with his national accomplishments? There are other black leaders with more impressive credentials, such as the governor of New Jersey.

Vig   April 3rd, 2008 7:58 pm ET

No he shouldn't. He has a right to be outraged by the back stabbers. Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alice   April 3rd, 2008 7:57 pm ET

Coming from an uncommitted superdelegate, maybe the message will have some meaning.

At least no one can impugn Harkin - saying he's just trying to help Obama by ending the primary prematurely - like they do when other superdelegates tell the Clintons to tone down the rhetoric.

Steve   April 3rd, 2008 7:55 pm ET

So many inflammatory comments. I don't see how a Clinton supporter would even consider Obama or vice versa. As a "liberal" republican, McCain looks better daily!

Mike K   April 3rd, 2008 7:52 pm ET

Ah, Bill's just acting like a spoiled child with his temper tantrums. Move on Bill. Your act is tired by now.

m   April 3rd, 2008 7:50 pm ET

It seems to me that cnn likes to print rather favorable articles about Obama, and yet has some rather harsh criticism for the Clinton's. But despite this I feel that people lose sight of the fact that either democratic candidates is surely better than the alternative.

Keith   April 3rd, 2008 7:48 pm ET

Bill doesn't need to "chill out", he and his "wife" need to just shut up and go away. Hell, they have all of the silverware and furniture they should ever need from the first time they lived in the White House.

Hillary's Exit   April 3rd, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Bill you can take a chill pill, and the other pill (Hillary) back to NY. Exit stage left, or in her case stage right. She sounds like a Republican anyway, after supporting McCain over Barack.

Johnny   April 3rd, 2008 7:38 pm ET

what does any of this have to do with me getting a job when i come marching home now that Mom can't afford the operation and the bank took back the farm.

v.ananthan   April 3rd, 2008 7:38 pm ET

ONE OF THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS BY AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS WAS WHEN BOSNIAN WAR CAME TO AN END AND MANY LIVES WERE SAVED…..

IT WAS UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON…

NOW OBAMA IS CONCENTRATING ON A MINOR DETAIL ABOUT SNIPER FIRE AND SUDDENLY CLINTONS ARE LIARS AND OBAMA IS A NOBLE GUY…..

I DON^T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CANNOT BE PROUD OF THEIR FORMER PRESIDENTS AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS…

THIS IS AMERICAN HISTORY….

Wilfred   April 3rd, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Bill Clinton has done his wife more harm with his big mouth.
What an egotistical idiot , and he was our president , what a farce he
has become in front of the world of public opinion.
Yo Bill go find yourself some extra marital activity and CHILL

KHEARD   April 3rd, 2008 7:37 pm ET

george W Bush has had 7 1/2 years to practice and has'nt gotten it right yet. Judgement is more important than experience.

Public eye   April 3rd, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Chill is polite-speak for shut up. Yes Bill, please chill. Can anyone explain why Hillary voted YES on the Patriot Act?

KHEARD   April 3rd, 2008 7:33 pm ET

I really believe that before Bill was elected president he was inexperienced as a president. Enough already with the exoerience argument. What president has had any experience before he was elected. NONE.

Joe from LA   April 3rd, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Bill is Bill and I get he's on wife-support…but he's the reason i'm thinking twice about my vote for Hillary…4-years with him shooting from the lips…I'll go crazy…

Sean McM   April 3rd, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Why are all Obama supporters acting like thugs!

Lay off the Clintons..

Is there no respect for free speech anymore? Obama the CONTROLLER at work!

Wake up   April 3rd, 2008 7:26 pm ET

What Obama has won in primary he cannot win in general election, all he has won now is all the red state. He lost all the big blue state. He try to win those red states in GE? Keep dreamming, McCan will get you.

John   April 3rd, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Where I come from a person has a right to get angry when their spouse is involved. I would expect nothing less from anybody, man or woman. So there. Besides, I like Bill Clinton. Come to think of it, I like both of them. And Chelsea too. She's starting to show a little fight herself. Good for her.

BH   April 3rd, 2008 7:25 pm ET

You Clinton haters will pay, thats all I can say. I donot blame people because they are just not smart enough and elected GW Bush and now they are buying into Obama rhetoric.

But do have some respect for the president who did great and people around the world loves him.

putt230   April 3rd, 2008 7:23 pm ET

just goes to show you that the stereotype is, at least, partly true. there is no sense of loyalty in the democratic party.

Ruth   April 3rd, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Perhaps instead of opening his mouth and spouting off, Bill should just suck on his sax and play music - he's harming Hillary's nonchance of becoming the Democrat's nominee.

concerned voter   April 3rd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

Hillary i will write your name in if your not the nom….. obama cant win for sure, as he has no inexperience i…..Independent! yes Hillary go Independent! you will win hands down… or its gotta be Mc caine…experience counts…

Matt   April 3rd, 2008 7:21 pm ET

It is guys like Grif that weaken the democratic party with their negativity and ignorance.

JFK   April 3rd, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Harkin needs to mind his own business and stay out of the race. There are no big lies by the Clintons. This is just bashers that want to make up a smear campaign against the Clintons. Go vote for Obama and let it be. I will vote for Hillary and proudly do so.

cj-delhi ny   April 3rd, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Thank you, someone needed to tell Bill Clinton to calm down.

Kelly Anne   April 3rd, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I think Bill Clinton will get a heart attack if he doesn't chill out.

Face it folks, Hillary lost fair and square.

Give it up!!!!!!!!

vk   April 3rd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Bill Clinton can't stand not being the center of attention or the candidate. He keeps trying to take attention away from Hillary, and she married him….Yeeeeesh….Get them out of here…

Chris   April 3rd, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Go MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael   April 3rd, 2008 7:14 pm ET

Too bad the person didn't suggest to Bill or Hillary to simply and easily retire.

shirley riley   April 3rd, 2008 7:12 pm ET

there is no way that obrack can win in nov?

ACitizen   April 3rd, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Obama is only ahead 2.8% in the popular votes with 8+ millions votes to be cast.

Don't count out the PA voters!

Let democracy run its course… if you want a king move to a kingdom.

tony   April 3rd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Hillary's win in the so-called swing states…were small in comparison to the wins Obama had over her… it would stand to reason since his lost was only between 4 and 10 percent in these swing states and hers was far greater… he has the better chance…. and in the states that she won.. it was totally based on racism of many whites who gave her the win… it was not based on her ability… Hillary has no experience and is a bad campaigner.. who will do anything for her agenda in spite of how it will hurt the overall situation… she is clearly not the right person to become president… maybe dog catcher….

shirley riley   April 3rd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

get ready people and vote for john mcain in novermber?

Obama 08   April 3rd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

CNN should chill.

catmom   April 3rd, 2008 7:09 pm ET

How about everyone else chill. Bill Clinton is doing no more than anyone else on the campaign trail. As usual though, anything the Clinton's say or do, be it Hillary, Bill and even Chelsea is seen as negative. Think about it. When was the last time there was anything positive written about Hillary, Bill or Chelsea?

RPC   April 3rd, 2008 7:06 pm ET

The Clintons need to wake up.

Just like the sniper fire from which Hillary fled in Bosnia, her winning the nomination is a fantasy.

Obama in '08!

BH   April 3rd, 2008 7:00 pm ET

I would say Senator harkin, have some respect for someone who was a good president.

2sense   April 3rd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Mr. Clinton should realize his good will with the democratic party is a mile wide and an inch deep. Voters are looking for loyalty to the country not to political presumed friends. This election is not about entitlements.

Carrie PA   April 3rd, 2008 6:56 pm ET

No more Clintons, YES WE CAN!

Doug   April 3rd, 2008 6:55 pm ET

It's funny to hear 'concerned' votes who feel Obama doesn't have the necessary experience to be the head honcho. While that remains debatable, that should hardly be a priority when deciding this nomination and ultimately the general election. Experience itself is very ambiguous, however can easily be drawn from a variety of aides and suboordinates. What Obama brings to the table is indispensable; great leadership, intelligence, charisma, etc., all traits synnonymous with a great President. As well, having a respected President will bolster America's dwindling reputation in the international community, which is rather important, contrary to what most believe.

Andrew   April 3rd, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Oh, please, no, not 4 years of the Clinton circus! Now way to keep Bill from taking a back seat once Hillary is in the house. Just isn't in his genetics.

John Phish   April 3rd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Just Say No to Bush3 or Clinton2!

They are all still fighting 90's style campaigns fighting pre-70's issues!

OBAMA08 if you want someone younger addressing 21st Century Problems and issues!

mkay   April 3rd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

What the real problem with Clinton is, he doesn't seem to understand why he and his wife are trailing behind a first time senator from illinois. Their heads are exploding over this. When they launched their campaign they expected to secure the nomination with flying colors clear back in January. The Clinton's thought they they could do away with the entire election process and declare themselves winners with an easy ride right into the white house with no effort at all. Boy have they been duped.

Mary in Oklahoma   April 3rd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Senator Obama is a disgrace to theUnited States of America with his hate mongering, racist attitude. He can not possibly bring people together . The Democratic Party needs to use intergity, intelligence and judgement about the best candidate. Where has all the common (horse) sense gone?

Tom Harkins needs to chill out and let the campaign run the course.
If the Democratic Party had been on the ball, those votes in Michigan and Florida would have counted and the race would be neck to neck.

And CNN is not posting pro-Clinton comments again.

Teresa   April 3rd, 2008 6:51 pm ET

From what I've read…..Bill needs to take a chill pill and relax.

Joe Black   April 3rd, 2008 6:50 pm ET

But as the group moved together for the perfunctory photo, Rachel Binah, a former Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how "sorry" she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a "Judas" for backing Obama.

It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade.

"Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that," a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted.

The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media's unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.

"It was very, very intense," said one attendee. "Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns."

Florida voter   April 3rd, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Im an immigrant and over many years have seen the American people make HUGE mistakes like electing Bush TWICE. Now if we want to avoid the mistake of electing McCain, we must elect Hillary. If would be a tremendous mistake to nominate Obama. OPEN YOUR EYES! Obama cant stand up to McCain when it comes to the issues like national security. Obama always trys to avoid this issue because he knows he has no clear answer to a national crisis. National security is probobly most important when it comes to a president. Only Hillary can fight against McCain on this significant issue. Hillary can take on anything McCain brings up; Obama CANT! VOTE SMART! VOTE HILLARY 08!

KE   April 3rd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I think Hillary has evolved tremendously over this campaign season as one of the strongest woman in the history of America and she will always be remember this way.

Hillary has proven she can stand against ten men and will not gives in. She will be fine. What about democracy?

Vote for Hillary. She is the real deal.

Dorothy Kincaid   April 3rd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

Bill Clinton has more courage than many of these HATEFUL pundits. He screwed around on his wife - NOT ON THIS COUNTRY. How many of you who so loved GWBush and voted for the idiot can say this about him. The Media destroyed Gore and Kerry (good for Kerry) and now they are trying to destroy the Clintons - Americans (dumbed down) and controlled by the elite media.

Daryl   April 3rd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

I have to ask; why should anyone back off? Afraid Obama's feelings will be hurt? I don't think that'll hold water with the Republicans come November. And Obama can win, but I doubt for the right reasons. All the elitists are heck-bent on getting him into office because of his lack of experience because he will be easier to control than Hillary.

Jazz   April 3rd, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Is it possible the party hierarchy doesn't know it's about the man and not the party? They'll find out soon enough in 2010 when they'll have this huge turnout for the congressional races. Right?

Jeff   April 3rd, 2008 6:46 pm ET

To those buffoons that claim the MI and FL "issue" need to be resolved….

IT HAS BEEN!!!! Those two states made their bed and now they have to sleep in it. I wish Billary would just go away.

Patty   April 3rd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

Sophia is right on. It is hard to believe the rude, disgusting comments that the so called educated people blog on here. For sure they wouldn't like it if someone was saying those things about them or a family member or friend. Grow up people and put some intelligent comments on here.

Ivy league?   April 3rd, 2008 6:44 pm ET

When Bill talks more, Hillary loses more. Look at all the states that Obama won, all came from Bill talking to much. When he didn't talk she won Ohio. He just never learns.

The Republican attack machine? You guys are really making it sound like a monster that can never be beat by anyone. The only reason the republican attack machine works is becuase of the people in america. If America would wake up and actually look at topics instead of taking Republicans on there word, it would be the end of it.

Republican attack machine—is also almost out of cash.

Paul in Muncie Indiana   April 3rd, 2008 6:41 pm ET

I honestly used to like Bill Clinton - as a president I did. I also was originally going to vote for Hillary. The way they have run this campaign, however, changed my mind. Bill is manipulative and Hillary the same.

Sean   April 3rd, 2008 6:40 pm ET

PS. Before the Obama fans criticize my post and call me uneducated, let me say, I am an African American professional woman who has graduate education and makes a lot of money! "Sophia"

Sophia! Have some respect for the fact that your ancestors DIED some someone like Obama could run for President and that you could gain "graduate education and make a lot of money!"

DrFill   April 3rd, 2008 6:38 pm ET

You see Bill "misspoke" when he said everybody should chill out
He meant everybody but him.
That's what he meant.
When he said everybody should chill out.
Everybody but him.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Okay Obama haters (ie., Morons who have no idea what he's about and won't take that next step to find out for themselves) This article isn't about him, it's about a Clinton unable to take his own advice…Did you even read it?…It's so frustrating to wade through some of these idiot comments that have nothing to do with anything but hate and pettiness…You know, there are other blogs for people like you where you can spew all day…Please be kind enough to leave this blog to people who actually read the articles and have something intelligent to say about them.

Brian   April 3rd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Go Hillary - I want your resume over Obama's. Sorry, times are tough and I want solutions over feel good fluff speeches. Besides, Obama can't win blue collar or rural voters in OH nor seniors, Latino's and the Jewish community in FL. Those are the numbers we should be looking at if we really care about electing a Dem.

Hillary   April 3rd, 2008 6:36 pm ET

Hi voters of PA. You like Rocky right? I am just like Rocky. I am white, Rocky is white. Obama does not look like Rocky. Obama looks like that bad guy who tried to beat Rocky up. So! Vote for Rocky and Hillary.

Jim White   April 3rd, 2008 6:35 pm ET

So Tom Harkin would like to disenfranchise several hundred thousand voters.

People in his district should remember that the next time he is up for election.

These folks are so out of touch with reality.

Truth - NY   April 3rd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Shannon   April 3rd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

I love how all the Obama supporters here are trying to suppress the vote, I guess part of the campaign of hope and change means we can't question the candidate, we can't disagree with the candidate, we can't vote for another candidate, and everyone needs to shut-up. CNN has crowned Obama king, and his supporters are against democracy, so I guess the rest of us are just supposed to be out of luck. Oh, wait I along with 28% of other democrats will be voting for McCain, good luck in November Obama campaign without us.

Pate   April 3rd, 2008 6:34 pm ET

M. Felder   April 3rd, 2008 6:32 pm ET

To be truly informed about these two democratic candidates, it is only fair that YOU look at each of them and not rely on the candidate word against the other or the media to make up your mind. I follow both of these candidates. Most of you who are supporting one candidate or the other think by trashing the candidates you are being helpful to the undecided voter. You've already made up your mind about who you are supporting, try helping the Undecided voter to make up his or her mind.

Although I am supporting Senator Obama, I will support Senator Clinton if she gets the nomination. My main reason for supporting Senator Obama is because he's already shown himself to be a leader. When the Rev. Wright situation arose, Senator Obama stepped up to the plate to address the issue. I expected Senator Clinton to step up, not to defend Obama and his pastor, but to offer some leadership to the country in an area that has truly divided this country. I didn't see that from Senator Clinton. I think a true leader action speaks louder than their words.

RM   April 3rd, 2008 6:31 pm ET

CHILL OUT? How sad… Is this how someone hopes to win the election?

Get back to reality and the facts. Words won't help; neither will Obama's words and speeches.

HILLARY '08!

John   April 3rd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

These latest outburst and lies by the Clintons show, Hillary simply does not deserve to become the nominee.
I do hope the superdelegates are taking note and the voters in Pensylvania and North Carolina.

Anthony   April 3rd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

While you putting in a candidate with no experience let us go a little further and replace every Senator and House of Representative and start all over again fresh. If we are dumping let uss clean up completely and see what happens.

Mike   April 3rd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Everyone needs to chill and look at who is electable.

Obama cannot win in November. Half the issues on him havent even come out but I guarantee you the GOP attack machine is lock and loaded ready to burn him down.

The GOP will not be nice like Hillary. Hillary tries to save his career while trying to win. The GOP wants him not only to lose the presidency but lose his job in the process.

Hillary is the only one that can win in November.

Jones in California   April 3rd, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Bill and Hillary 're at the final phase of their dark political career.
It's all over….

OB—ALL THE WAY….

And while he Chillin he might want to help Hillary do dumming some tax returns..

DMitri NYC   April 3rd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Hillary was ok with FL and MI not counting when she was ahead.
Any Democrat who disagrees with the Clintons is "disloyal".
Superdelegates and delegates are free to vote for whoever they want who has the last name Clinton, or else the system isn't working.
Carville is allowed to compare Obama supporters to Judas because they realize Obama holds the best hope for the presidency.
Democrats are afraid to support Obama for fear of Bill blowing his top.
The Clintons apparently will take the "fight" all the way to the convention despite being behind in the numbers and McCain benefitting from the situation. Apparently Obama is a racist because his minister is misguided but Bill Clinton can play Godfather and intimidate whomever he wants. I voted for Bill Clinton in the 90s because he was the best choice and I will vote for Obama in 2008 because he is the best choice. I wish the Clintons would do what is right, not what is right for them only.

I wanted to write for the article Richerdson denied, all the people are writting Hillary is a liar.Please check the Salon article by Joan Walsh today Richerdson said Obama can't win.CNN please read Salon article And clear Hillary's name .All the bloggers apologise for your arrogant letter.

st louis typicl whte male   April 3rd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

sistahterr,
you are mistaken. Hillary said on Feb 5 eve, just as the votes were coming in that she intended to get FL and MI delegates seated. Know your facts… and know why and what your choice for candidate has done to prove himself. Nothing. I don't even find him charming.
No way to Obama - he's full of you know what.

Eleanor   April 3rd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

they both make me sick!!
shes so cocky its sickening!!!!!
If they win you can bet it will be some deceitful underhanded way
no wonder people like Obama!

Paul Sisneros   April 3rd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Bill is doing what any other MAN would do to defend his wife. If I had a man over for the Super Bowl and he told me he was on the Clinton ban wagon and yet was talking behing the back and making Deals about indorcing Oboma ( thats a differnt Story) I would call him a trator! ( For Comments by Mark Anthony ) I dont no what your wife looks like and dont care but GOD SAYS WERE ALL HIS CHILDREN AND WE ARE BUETIFUL IN HIS EYS. Remeber sir you will be judged on your comments by the one and only true JUDGE and all congress and cenitors will be JUDGED by the LORD JESUS CHRIST !! ( GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS THE CLINTONS 8 YEARS OF 22 MILLION NEW JOBS HELP FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT! WAR IS OVER! TROOPS HOME! BILL IS FIXING THE PROBLEMS OVER SEAS MAKING PEACE AROUND THE WORLD. ALSO DONT FORGET THE GREEN MOVE MENT THIS COUNTRY WILL BE GREAT AGAIN UNDER HILARY AND BILL CLINTON THEY ARE TRUE AMERICANS IN ALL THERE FAULT LET THE FIRST MAN WITHOUT FAULT CAST THE FIRST STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

janis   April 3rd, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Before you criticize President Clinton do some research. You will discover that he was truly a president that did a lot of good for America and the world. I can clearly rememgber during the Lewinsky scandal I was sat on an airplane next to a well-educated attorney from Ireland. He knew more about what our president was doing that probably any american. He told me that Ireland has more respect for Bill Clinton than any president in the history of the Untited States. He also told me that the world was laughing at Americans because we cared more about the Lewinsky scandal than all the achievements of the President . This attorney talked to me for more than two hours and I learned a lot. Later, I researched some of the things he said, and sure enough they were true. President Clinton made a big impact on the world and America was a better place during his presidency. Please quit judging him for one human mistake when he did so much good for us. Are you perfect?

Sandra Lockhart   April 3rd, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Jim, Burlington NC   April 3rd, 2008 6:27 pm ET

So, if Hillary got all the delegates from FL and MI, she still would be behind, and she won't get more than half so therule-breaking FL and MI legislatures should contemplate what's going to happen to them this election cycle.

Same thing as Hillary, they're going home …

NO let Bill express his Freedom of Speech at the same time giving his wife's eulogy because if he keeps running his motor the way he is, he will speak out the last will and testiment on Hillary's Campaign. Keep it Bill Go Go Go!!

TO BK . WHAT IS WRONG WITH SPEECHES ABOUT HOPE. THE FACT IS OBAMA HAS ENGAGED ALOT OF YOUNG AD OLD PEOPLE WITH THESE SPEACHES. ALL HILLARY HAS IS NAME RECOGNITION, SHE DOES NOT WRITE HER OWN SPEECHES LIKE OBAMA. OBAMA IS CLEARLY THE BEST CANDIDATE ALL AROUND, YOU HAVE NOT EXPLAINED WHY YOU DONT LIKE HIS SPEECHES ABOUT HOPE

Patrick M   April 3rd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

She lost this thing a long time ago. 1- The most delegates (1,000,000 to 1 that this will change) 2- The most popular votes (unlikely that this will change) 3- The most states won (it is also Impossible for this to number to change)… Any other time in this country the candidate would simply drop out at this point… she can save herself for future runs or positions by doing the right thing now… they are burning all their bridges, in my opinion… Obama won this a long time ago… all I can figure is that she is banking on something big happening… THAT scares me.

jenkins   April 3rd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

All of these extreme liberals are going to do/say anything to get Obama in the White House. They haven't had a shot in so long that they are actually willing to put a neophyte in there just so they can win. Obama isn't qualified but who cares!

Isaac   April 3rd, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Ugh. Bill saying this, to me, was a highlight of the campaign season. The man is a serious straight talker and the fact that no one in the media or in Obama-land can handle it is almost funny. What he said is 100% correct. Let people vote. Don't jump to conclusions. Let the process play out. Besides, he's defending his wife. I mean, how dare he!!!

Former Obama supporter   April 3rd, 2008 6:23 pm ET

When the campaign moves to North Carolina, I can’t wait to see how Obama plays the race card and blames Clinton for it. Did anyone read that article?

Hillary can't depend on superdelegates. DNC is biased by liberals and presidential losers. Hillary must go independent! Let's see how many superdelegates will be reelected. Form you own party!! Hillary doesn't care about DNC, both Bill and Hillary care about the country! This is the real reason why she is fighting for the nomination!!!

Reasonable   April 3rd, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I am really disappointed in former Pres Clinton's behavior. I donated to his campaign and library and am appalled at his treatment of Gov Richardson. So is this the way someone who served during the Clinton administration is treated when they decide they want to take the high road and do what's best for the country as a whole? Look out remaining undeclared superdelegates…he's gonna feed you to the wolves whether you deserve it or not.

Mike, Eugene, Oregon   April 3rd, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Is it just me or do the Clinton's remind you of Mugabe. I mean, they had an election in Zimbabwe that he lost, but rather than just go, he is wrecking the entire country, "fighting to the last man", demanding a revote, even claiming some region where some of his mythical supporters are was unfairly excluded or undercounted. I'd bet he thinks he's Rocky Balboa, too.

alex   April 3rd, 2008 6:20 pm ET

I WAS SHOCKED WHEN HILLARY DID NOT LEAVE BILL WHEN SHE FOUND OUT HE CHEATED IN THE OVAL OFFICE, THIS SHOWS SHE DOES NOT HAVE GOOD JUDGEMENT AT ALL

If the media would ever do a fact check they would find that he has lied more than either of the Clintons. But if the media did that then we would have to hear another race speech. UGH

Bill Clinton needs more that chill he needs to get off the booze, you know how I know my dad was an alcoholic and I can sniff them out. Take a look at his nose! Temper is another sign of someone with a addictive problem.

Hillary Clinton, is quite the character, who is she? One minute she tells stories of her dangerous trips and that was misspoke, DUH! Next she tells a really funny joke of a bowl off and thought it was hilarious until she told Barack to get out of the gutter ! Talk about snippy and rude, I was absolutely horrified by this remark. For the first time I was enjoying her joke until I heard that. Not because it had to do with Barack Obama, to me it doesn't matter who she told to get out of the gutter that was an inexcusable remark made by someone who thinks she can run for President. Sorry never have I heard such an immature remark.

I think that Hillary Clinton's supporters really have to ask themselves if she has the Maturity to run for President!

S. Shay   April 3rd, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I agree that it's unfair that Barack has to campaign againt Hlllary, Bill and Chelsea. For comparison, image the candidate in 2012 running against Laura Bush (after all, she is equally as qualified as Hillary Clinton to be President after 8 years in the White House) but just imagine the 2012 candidate running against Laura Bush, George Bush, Jr., George Bush, Sr., Jenna and twin sister Bush and Jeb Bush. That is what Obama is facing running against the Clintons and he's still beating them! LOL!

It dawned on me yesterday that Obama not only leads Hillary the "Misspeaker" but he leads Bill and Chelsea too. And yes, Bill needs to fade away. Hopefully he takes her with him. The final shred of any respect I had for the Clintons was gone when the Hill was asked a question about the sniper fire story she told as opposed to the video and her reply was that it was no big thing and it wasn't important. Lying to the American people is very important!!

lindacisme   April 3rd, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Actually i think it's the Obama supporters who should "chill out". Your negative remarks towards Hillary in these blogs, will solidify her biggest supporters to NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM IN THE GENERAL ELECTION - and guess what, …. he can't win without the women who support Hillary! Young and black voters not enough.

You're making your bed now, and you will sleep in it come November.

Hillary supporter - one of MANY - who will vote McCain rather than see this ego maniac be in the White House.

4REAL   April 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Bill needs to go home and start drinking some Long Island Ice Tea until the campaign is over. Bill is so hurt by Richardson endorsing Obama that he can't chill. He wants Richardson to take back his endorsement from Obama and give it to Hillary. Sorry Bill she didn't earn it. Now go attack Rev. Wright again and see what will happen.

LIz   April 3rd, 2008 6:10 pm ET

If all the media and other comedians can have a say, Why can not President Clinton have his say. He was a great president. We have more money in our pocket and everyone seemed to be happy. Senator Clinton is more ready to be the next president of the US than the other two candidates. I wish everyone would see the good in her and not down here and President Clinton all the time. It seems that Obama can do no harm. I do believe he may be making some promises to Superdelegates that he will be able to comply with or keep.

Take a look at who will work the hardest for the US and not who can wear Silk suits and spend the money freely. The money spent on this election is out of control. There needs to be a limit on spending and time spent for all primaries!

Vote for Senator Clinton!

I'm so sick of this crap. Bill Clinton has every right to defend, campaign, his wife in this election just like Michelle Obama. Harkin and Clyburn should chill out and everybody else. Go find something constructiver other than prepare to comment on and twist everything Bill Clinton says. If Obama does win, and the country goes further down hill, I hope the Clintons sit back and have a good laugh and tell the American people to "chill," and tellem this is who they wanted as they president.

Hillary/McCain '08′

sistahterri   April 3rd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

It seems ironic to me that when Florida and Michigan voted there was noone arguing about the voters then. It wasn't until Obama won 12 states in a row did Clinton become concerned about Florida and Michigan. After Super Tuesday, no mention was made about Florida and Michigan. Clinton was okay with their votes not counting as long as she was in the lead.

Joseph Adewole   April 3rd, 2008 6:09 pm ET

I sincerely hope The Federal government is prepared to pay for extra security for every woman employee of The White House if the Clintons (God forbid) move back to the place.

Ric   April 3rd, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Dumbest statement of the day –> “we need Obama in the White House”

Why has America allowed guilt to let this man mislead us into voting for him? If Joe Biden had the same level of experience or questionable background we would have chased him out of town long ago. It seems our guilt (white guilt?) has finally compelled us to proclaim Obama as “the chosen one”. Not because he’s honest, unbiased or qualified. Simply because he is not a Clinton. Shame on us all. After 8 years of this mess, we should know better.

Susan MO   April 3rd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

It's normal for a spouse to support his/her spouse. That's what he is doing and that's fine. Tom Harkin should not let this be an issue, because it is not.

Uh, let's see… nobody told Obama's racist minister to "chill out", did they?

Greg   April 3rd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Hilary is the reason why John McCain will win the White House. She is so upset that her entitlement is being taken away and Bill is acting like a blowheart. He should keep a low profile after the Monica deal.

Michael Templer   April 3rd, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Let's face it, Bill Clinton is just fighting for his wife

cut him some slack

everybody knows he feels guilty about Monica

Bill, put the blow torch down… I think you're getting too emotionally involved here; this is your wife's show, not yours.

Doesn't this kinda feel like one of those grade school competitions where the parents seem to want it more than the kid?

Billy boy gets to eat his word now! Ironically, he himself asked the superdelegates to chill last week. But, looks like he doesn't go by his word himself! One standard for themselves and another for the rest of the people! So typical of the Clintons!

Rufus King   April 3rd, 2008 6:06 pm ET

The Clinton Clan planned this thing a long,long time ago,that is probaly the reason Mrs. Clinton stayed with him after the Lewinsky encounter. They cut a deal. They see their plan falling apart .They are running out of options and frustration is mounting as the losing continues. Blow your gasket bubba.

BK   April 3rd, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Remember Clinton was one of the best presidents we ever had. We had a balanced budget, low gas prices, good jobs, and college was affordable. Think about that before you vote for an inexperienced anti-american.

Wise Dem.   April 3rd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

I would not hesistate to say Bill has been a net loss to his wife campaign.

With that said, I want to remind all democrats that who ever is our nominee, will be a stark contrast to John Mccain ( Bush Third Term). Hilary and Barack are democrats and share similar policies.

Dem 08

Kathkleen, Oakland CA   April 3rd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

And we are supposed to believe he can be controlled in the Whitehouse when he can't control himself in the campaign? What a scary scenario that is. Bill is past his prime… at an age when, given his talents and experience, he should be at the top of his game. It's a sad and ugly thing to watch.

D.L.   April 3rd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Is the story even true….
Or more of the same media hype?

sailersun   April 3rd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

I hate that SHE is the kinda person (woman) who will burn down the house b/c she didnt get her way. For the greater good of her political career she stood by bill, however, she intends to completely wreck the dems for her own personal gain. This is the kind of chick that all women should detest! SELFISH & DESTRUCTIVE!!!!!!

Not gonna lie, I liked the 90's Clintons but I have since renounced, rejected, denounced, abjured, abnegated,abandoned, absconded, apostatized, broke from, changed sides, departed, deserted, forsaken, left, rebelled, reneged, tergiversated, turned away from, withdrawn, BOTH OF THEM!!!

It is amazing how Senator Clinton is being attacked by the media and some big shot in the Democratic Party; it is very obvious that she is being attacked because she is a female.
The attackers are a bunch of cowards and jerks.

Leave Senator Clinton alone, she is a Honorable, smart and capable lady and she is ready to lead this country from day one.

Sophia   April 3rd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Bill Clinton was the President of our country for 8 years & we did well economically in those days. How about some respect.

Let's go back to the fact that we are about to have a democratic nominee who has no plans or clue regarding solutions for our country?

Here is the question….which of these democrats will make the hard decisions to get our country back on the right track? My money is on Hillary!!! I live in NY and I know she will deliver actions to back up her words.

So why don't you all use your votes wisely before we have another Republican in the White House.

Try and remember (if you are all old enough) that George Bush was just as charming as Barack and look what happened to our country!

Your right to vote is a precious thing so make it count!

PS. Before the Obama fans criticize my post and call me uneducated, let me say, I am an African American professional woman who has graduate education and makes a lot of money!

Ronald   April 3rd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

Michael in MO   April 3rd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

Until the issue of Michigan and Florida is resolved, this campaign is alive and well, regardless of outcome. The gaul of Dean and the DNC to disenfranchise millions in these 2 States! A slap on the wrists over a primary calendar debate, and two of the most influencial States in the Union are effectively taken out of the equation? This should be deemed not only illegal and unconstitutional, but grounds for Dean's immediate dismissal. The argument that candidates knew the situation going into primary season is irrelevant - THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE CANDIDATES. IT IS ABOUT MUTING THE VOICES AND RIGHTS OF AMERICAN VOTERS IN THESE TWO STATES! Until their voices are counted, the democratic candidate race is effectively null and void. I am independent, but Hillary Clinton is spot-on with the her intention to pursue this to Colorado if necessary until the issue of Michigan and Florida is resolved. Apparently the only candidate willing to support the idea.

bizu   April 3rd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

The Clintons must definitely be power drunk or they are living in another world. Does people around them ever tell them truth? What are elected officials in well placed positions like the Corzines and Murthas afraid of? Let them step up like Bill Richardson and take it like a man. Say the truth and be free, that is the American spirit. The Race is over Hillary.

OBAMA will win in November, there is no doubt about that. GOP machinery, bring it on.

The Clintons have made huge blunder putting Bill on the campaign trial. At one point I was very pro Hillary then, I began to realize a vote for Hillary is a vote for Bill and the whole Clinton machine.. His comments about what his involvement will be in the White House sent chills up my spine. I wanted to Vote for Mrs Clinton, not Bill. This election should not have been a package deal. I do not want Bill anywhere near the Oval Office. With his outbursts and his wife misspeakes, mistruths, and lies,(now she is saying she never told Richardson Obama can't win), they have lost my vote.

ANTI CLINTONS   April 3rd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

There should be a law instituted that ALL former presidents should NOT be allowed to stump on campaign trails for a spouse or friend and should become the law. Once you have been elected by the people as president you should not be allow to stump for any members of a family or friend.
