Van Hollen is chairman of the DCCC.

(CNN) - The top Democrat charged with helping his party maintain control of the House in 2008 warned Tuesday congressional candidates could suffer if the Democratic presidential race turns overly negative.

Speaking at a press briefing with reporters, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen predicted the Democrats will pick up House seats in November, but said the ongoing contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama remains a "variable."

"We've seen the energy and excitement in the early Democratic primaries, and the only thing that could hurt or cut back on that is if the Democratic primary gets so divisive that it's difficult to patch it up and heal the wounds in time to be together in November," said Van Hollen, who has not endorsed either candidate.

"We need to make sure that both candidates stay positive so you don't leave lasting wounds that will depress in anyway that kind of energy and enthusiasm," he added. "I don't think we are at that point. I do think there is a danger of reaching that point."

At the same briefing, Clinton backer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer sounded a less dire tone, saying the hotly-contested race will benefit the party come November.

“Each is getting to refine their message and battle test their campaigns in this primary," he said. "I don't think any damaging blows have been landed by one or the other, and damaging to the general election, and I think both are very strong candidates."

I am a Canadian and I do not want to interfere with your politics. Just an observation – reading many different blogs – the Hillary camp is far more viscious than the Obama camp. I cannot believe the number of them that say they would vote for John McCain if Obama wins.. ....its really beyond comprehension. Vancouver, Canada

DEMOCRAT (PA)]   April 8th, 2008 8:28 pm ET

As an Obama supporter, I will happily vote for either one come November

Don't let the republicans fool you into being hateful!

We can only thank Hillary Clinton for destroying the democratic party. She'll be remembered for that.

andre' wilson   April 8th, 2008 8:09 pm ET

have anyone ask Obama about his solutions for change because i'm seeing the same old politicians on his side and see no new blood or up and comings besides himself? what's knew in his policies he has been saying on the trail i don't follow the man(i'm a hillary supporter ) but would love to debate his change policies with any obama supporter.. for example his healthcare plan is nothing different then john kerry's (i know because i supported kerry) atleast we're trying something like an universal mandated plan (in which every expert says it's the only way all can be covered . ? )lets debate not perpetrate stay on the issues and we all would be fine...

nina   April 8th, 2008 8:07 pm ET

My biggest fear in America is for the Democratic Party to nominate a clueless man like Obama, we are going to be more racially divided under an Obama.

wanakee   April 8th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

Hillary lost this nomination a long time ago, perhaps beginning with Iowa, and certainly, ending with Wyoming. Win Pennsylvania? yes. When the nomination. no.

West by God Virginia   April 8th, 2008 8:04 pm ET

the DCCC is wrong,.... let them fight... first time in years that we have a chance to watch two democrats stand up for something other than to bash a republican

one of them needs to prove that they will actually be the right choice for president

Nancy   April 8th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Obama supporters are nasty, nasty mean people. They couldn't say a nice thing about anyone not even their mothers. That's too bad.
Obama will win but i do not believe he will win in Novemeber no matter what the DNC says when he wins the nomination there are those of us who just cannot get behind him. I believe alot of us will either not vote or vote for McCain i personally won't vote because I don't want to say that I voted for either when they screw up our country. I would vote PRESENT if I could, after all Obama did and that was OK.

suzy   April 8th, 2008 8:00 pm ET

I cant believe how uncomfortable Obama looked without his teleprompter. It was like a baby without its blanky.

Marie in California   April 8th, 2008 7:58 pm ET

It ain't over till the fat lady sings....and I haven't yet heard any music. So keep it going....and include Michigan and Florida too.

No Obamination in the Presidency!

Hillary or McCain – 2008

is it necessary   April 8th, 2008 7:55 pm ET

is it too late to make the correction. the damage is already done. reps have gotten what they need to light the fire for attack for the general election.

suzy   April 8th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

THIS IS WHAT OBAMA SIAD LAST NIGHT IN SF...

“Last night at a fundraiser in San Francisco, Barack Obama took a question on what he's looking for in a running mate. ‘I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I'm not as expert on…foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Sen. Clinton or Sen. McCain.’”

"A BUNCH OF STUFF"??????
COME ON PEOPLE – WAKE UP!!!!
IF YOU SAW OBAMA TODAY IN CONGRESS – HE WAS A FUMBLING STUMBLING GUY WHO WAS OBVIOUSLY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE.....
WE NEED A PRESIDENT, NOT AN IDOL. HE CAN'T HANDLE IT!

VOTE SMART – VOTE HILLARY – THE MEDIA (for what it's worth!) is saying that she was the most impressive today....

Chris in Va.   April 8th, 2008 7:54 pm ET

Cheryl, the most delusional of all, please take your meds!!

Olivia   April 8th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

Most of the negatives come from the Obamas' supporters. Example, sen Leahy. By calling for Hillary to get out of the race he is trying to say she is weak with the voters and can't win.

Calm down and stay out of sight, Sen Leahy, Kerry and others.
Although the Obamas are trying to buy the pa voters by saturating the airways with MANY ads, Hillary will prevail. Why go for a "pig in a poke" who is overspending peoples' hard earned money when you know Hillary is the one who will fight for you and deliver. Support her!

voice that matters   April 8th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

I can see that no matter the candidate do their supporters will be behind them.

Whether or not they are caught lying and caught corrupt and inexperience problem or managemental problem . The CNN bloggers are the same, they will never change their mind.

One thing I admired about Obama is that he tells you the truth, he has always said change is not easy.

Everyone knows that it hard to make some changes in yourlives and somethings can be very difficult to change.

To make a change like Michael jackson sang look at the mirror and make a change. Don't say nonsense about these beatiful candidates
judge them by their conducts. BE TRUTHFUL TO YOURSELF GUYS,

YOU WILL NEVER HELP YOURSELF BY LYING TO IT. YOU KNOW THE TRUTH SAY IT THE WAY IT IS.

Chris in Va.   April 8th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

Hillary supporters need to take a lesson from their hero Slick Willy and STOP INHALING!!!!! You are as delusional as Hillary. After Obama recieves the nomination some of these posters will still be issuing these fantasy scenerios where Hillary becomes the winner. Pitiful lot you are.

richard   April 8th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

WILL, Get your story staright. Hillary was not the only dem on the ballot. Obama took his own name off the ballot and was not asked to. Bad mistake on his part. Shows poor judgement. Obama supporters campaigned in michigan to have people vote uncommited. Believe me if all the primary's were redone Hillary would be the clear winner. Every person I know who supported Obama wish they could take there vote back.

BG - Texas   April 8th, 2008 7:46 pm ET

Julie makes about as much sense as all these Obamaniacs who are thowing stuff at her. Still waiting for Karl Rove to come out of exile to settle the score between these 2 candidates. Predict that they will probably knock each other out. Talk about a divided country – well at least for the democrats. Republicans seem to be getting their stuff together.

Wolf   April 8th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Jocely..et al of Camp Obama..your math is incorrect........get informed and do it again! And to the ones who call Senator Clinton a liar – well so is Senator Obama – AND??? are you folks really that naive? It is the issues folks and not the name calling adolescence.

Senator Clinton has a plan for Breast Cancer research and cure with a target date of 10 years – where is Obamas?

Senator Clinton has a universal health care plan – Senator Obama's plan is not a universal health care plan!

Senator Clinton does not support nuclear weapons – Senator Obama does.

Senator Clinton has a green energy plan with core job developement – Senator Obama patterned his plan after Senator Clintons.

and on and on........pick an issue and talk about it vs. name calling – get a grip!

A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain, a vote for CLinton is a vote for the White House!

John   April 8th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

BG - Texas   April 8th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

What is wrong with a good argument on, for or against issues. The only person that does not want discussion are those who have no solutions, no policies and who will not be ready on day one.

How else are the citizens of American suppose to understand and see the differences between Obama and Clinton.

Personally, I see the big difference between Obama and Hillary R. Clinton, she is a woman of substances, she has solutions and she is for all American people.

Obama, we are not sure what he stands for except that we often hear the same ideas that Hillary R. Clinton has only reworded to sound as if they were his own ideas…

Now, if the DNC did not drop the ball and especially Howard Dean, we would not be in this situation because Florida and Michigan would have their votes counted.

The DNC has disenfranchised Florida and Michigan that is what will destroy the Democratic Party as we know it., and if you and your Rules are Rules committee do not get together and change these stupid primaries, especially with that dam caucuses and then get rid of Howard Dean.

So do not point fingers at the candidates look into your own party and its' antics and especially Howard Dean..

Hillary R. Clinton, President of America 2009-2012

Tony   April 8th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Julie I got your back! People need to take a close hard look
at the candidates. Given the situation in America and around the world, Clinton is the intelligent choice. It is not about party, it is about the best qualified person for the job. Now that I've said that, Go ahead Obama supporters do your usual child-like rebutals. Is that a paying job? I can't believe so many people can think this man is actually ready to be the leader of the free world. Very frightening!

Hillary Your Next President!   April 8th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Lyz in Maryland   April 8th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

I am a white female and I am a strong Obama supporter. It isn't about identity politics, it's about who I think is the best candidate to lead this country. However, I don't hate Clinton supporters. In fact, I hope to work with them in the general election.

Furthermore, every Clinton supporter I've spoken to personally feels the same way. I think there may be something to this Republicans posing as Democrats theory. I mean, divide and conquer is the whole Republican schtick; that's why pandering to people's prejudices works so well for them.

HOW MANY LISTEN TO FOX I GET SICK OF THE NEWS ,I'AM HOPING THAT PEOPLE DO NOT TURN ON HER I STILL BELEIVE A BETTER PRESIDENT,WE NEED TO STAND BEHIND HER ,I'AM AMERICAN WHO RESPECTS OUR COUNTRY,OUR FLAG,OUR FOREFATHERS OUR GREAT SONG GOD BLESS AMERICIA,I LOVE MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH,MY FREEDOM,MY SAFTY AND I GUESS I JUST LOVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICIA,AND I BELEIVE THAT MOST COUNTRIES RESENT THIS AND WE ARE VERY HATED IN SOME COUNTRIES AND WHY I THINK THAT HILLARY CLINTON ,I DON'T CARE HOW MUSH MOEY THEY MAKE ,BUSH AND CHANEY PROBALLY MADE ENOUGHT MONEY FOR FIVE GENARATIONS OF KIDS AFTER HIM, AND I WOULD HATE TO PULL OUT THE HISTORY BOOKS ,WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THINGS OTHERS HAVE DONE IN AMERICIAS LIFE TIME,SO STOP THINK CAMPARE THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS LETS PUT THE RIGHT PERSON-HILLARY LOVES AND RESPECTS THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY OF OURS. GOOOOO HILLARY

voice that matters   April 8th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Chrissy, Texas please be aware that hillary and Bill started it. I know it hurt to see your candidate being trashed on race and on experience daily.

That is what the Clintons were doing to Obama and it has worked for Hillary as you know. Again Obama has all right to fight back and everyone including you now see the truth about Hillary.

She has been exposed with her lies on foreign experience, corruptions, back stabbing, lies about snipper, she is caught on false story and she has management problem.

Again she once said she will follow whatever the DNC rules said, but of recent she kept fighting the DNC rules and sometimes she is laughable when she said what the voters have chosen are for grab.

Sorry Chrissy it hard to follow Hillary's comments becasue your head will spin, going back, forth, side, down and up.

Eric-Illinois   April 8th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Oh will these politically correct polititions quit their Whinning! Obama's camp sounds like spoiled little girls and now McCain has jumped on the "ouch" train. Just shut up and fight like hell. Does anyone really beleive that when and if Messiah obama wins this thing...everyone is just going to all of a sudden get along. Politics ain't bean bags...grow up. At least Hillary is proving that she is a a fighter. All Obama and his hatefilled supports are doing is making sure McCain wins. The Republicans and the swiftboaters will eat Obama alive.

Huff & Puff   April 8th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I don't want to see Hillary quit. I can't wait to see her face when she realizes she can't steal the election. That photo will be priceless.

Go Hillary, run until you're out of breath, and can't run anymore. Then Bubba can pick you up and carry you to the finish line. There you'll find a ribbon on the ground, where Barack has already won.

rabblerouser   April 8th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

What's hurting the Democratic party is the blatantly prejudicial treatment Hillary is getting not only from the press but from within the Dem. party itself. This has not been a fair contest; the majority of the Dem party seems to be doing everything it can to install Obama as the nominee even tho we, the people (remember us?) are equally in favor of Hillary as we are of Obama.

When someone like Patrick Leahy comes out and tells Hillary to pack it in, don't think for a moment, that when his time is up for election, I sure won't vote for him, even if it means voting for his republican opponent.

I do not hate the Clintons. But what the Clintons did to this nation will require a change in generations to wipe out the SINS of this nation. The Clintons have too much blood in their hands.

Is not the two candidate problem. I think the problem is your Reg. Sen. and the media make the problem because you guy just support Obama only so it make Americans got out from Democratic party.

I don't think Obama going to win in general election so, your guy do not just support only Obama let support Hillary too I think she might stronger
candidate then Obama in general election.

Look now every thing Obama he just hides behind his people that's mean he have no idea and just wait for other help so he not qualify for
President yet.

They have too much "innocent" blood in their hands.

54% of the remaining

do the math they you see the ineventable.

Really? You think? The party has already been damaged with all the trash thrown at Hillary from Obama, his campaign, supporters and media. Obama is supposed to be about the "new" politics but he has proven anything but. He's nothing but a hypocrite and liar and my vote will go Republican if Obama gets the nomination. And trust me, the Hispanic vote will go too!

Jocely   April 8th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Every one need to stop for a moment this election is not about black the fact is a black mea running for president nor should this election be about women or white women the fact a woman is running for president. This is about the people and we are the people. We those choices. Where were you in 2000 and 2004 voting for Bush and Chaney we make those choices. If Obama win we vote for him. If Hillary win we vote for her or if McCain win we vote him no one is forcing any one you need to make your best judgement.

If Clinton win it's because on how she play her card if she lose she has herself to thank on how they run their campagne.

I want to remind people before there was a women and a black running for president we were all good kids lined-up to vote for republican if this is the party you support orfor democrat. That is what we need to do when we choose our nominee.

Stop it with Michigan and Florida   April 8th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

Concerning Michigan and Florida,

Obama and his campaign are not responsible for preventing revotes in either states, so please stop spewing that.

Michigan – those votes can simply not originally count. According to those results, Hillary has 330,000 votes or so and Obama has 0. You can't be judging popular vote by that. If you believe every vote matters, then you should be supporting a revote.

Florida – In the end, it won't play a huge card in the election and the original votes might as well be counted. If people will stop complaining about it, then I'm willing to concede it.

However, people also need to realize how democratic this process continues to be. If people are mad about what their elected officials caused them, they simply need to vote them out next election cycle. That is democracy in action. I wish their votes mattered, but at least they still have the chance to make sure it doesn't happen again.

She makes up these stories effortlessly. How sad..

She need to just tell the truth...

CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY SAT ON THE POLITICAL HOT SEAT THE MOMENT THEY ANNOUNCED THEIR CANDIDACY.
CAMPAIGNS START BY THE CANDIDATES PROCLAIMING TO EVERYONE THAT THEIR CAMPAIGNS WILL BE POSITIVE. VOTERS SHOULD KNOW BY NOW THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN WITHOUT MUDSLINGING AND GETTING DOWN INTO THE MUCK. THE CANDIDATES AVOID BLAME BY LEAVING THE MUDSLINGING TO THEIR STAFF AND SUPPORTERS. THAT'S WHAT CATCHES THE ATTENTION OF THE VOTERS. THEY WANT SOMETHING LIKE TABLOID JOUNALISM AND CAMPAIGNING. THEY WILL MAKE MANY MISTAKES AND GAFFES WHICH ARE SOON FORGOTTEN.. THANK GOODNESS , A GOOD MAJORITY OF VOTERS DONT MAKE UP THEIR MINDS UNTIL THE LAST WEEKS AND EVEN DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION. THAT AT LEAST GIVES THEM TIME TO THINK AND THINK WISELY.

OBAMA NO MORE ... For those of you, like me, who are/were leaning towards Obama, and are/were, as I now admit, caught up in the media-created “Obama mania,” I urge you to do your own research. Look at his record. Look at the tactics and legal battles utilized to eliminate his opponents and taint former elections in which he was a candidate. And you wonder why he’s “allegedly” opposed to a revote in Florida and Michigan? For those of you who haven’t already voted, or who have voted and whose votes are currently not going to be counted, please don’t let “Obama mania” cloud your views or take your vote. Obama's campaign is constantly questioning Hillary's credibility, but it's his lies that both me. Which of his versions about his relationship to Renko is true? Did he really write the immigration bill he said he wrote? And of course, would he really leave Wright's church or was he lying when he said he would no more denounce Wright than his "white grandmother."

Jot   April 8th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

For all the Obamanias, this is great news for you. Obama had his supporters on the ground asking people to vote uncomminted. The vote for uncomminted was 46% that is what he got. The rest was for clinton none of them compaigned there. In Florida, Obama's name was on the paper. none campaigned there. Hillary won the two primaries. The reason why you are crying is because Hillary is going to win the nominee if those two states are counted. Get over it, Obama is racist he sat in the Churh that promotes hatred for 20 years that is why his wife Michelle got confused

Too Bad for Your Party   April 8th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

Too bad for the Democrat party. You guys should just get rid of Obama – He's a stuffed shirt. He's articulate and all that, blah, blah, blah, but there is no THERE there. What can he point to that he's done? What does he stand for? Change? That is the dumbest campaign slogan ever. CHANGE is going to happen no matter who gets elected! It's meaningless! Let me ask you this: How has he CHANGED the discourse so far? Seems like the same old rhetoric to me! Yet people fall for it. At least McCain has something to show for the years he's been around: Served our country; was tortured; made a life in public service; tried to cooperate with Democrats on the immigration issue and other issues. Whether you like it or not, we are at war. We need a leader who has military experience.

Fonzi   April 8th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

What do you expect from Chuck Shumer, a Hillary super. When it hurts HRC, the whole world hears it, if it does not hur HRC, it's all right. So far KARMA has been on HRC. WIth all her negatives campaign, more negative things she can not control are coming to her campaign. Remember, Bosnia lie, the Lie her surrogate told against Obama on the Canadian stuff, the Hospital gaffy and Mark Penn. We shall see who it will hurt most.

It's time for a woman President!!!!!

Jocely   April 8th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

The Clinton has been fighting since 1979 to get where they are today.
As we all know I hope Hillary is behind in term of raising money.
Support for Hillary is declining. Support from Super delegates has been on hold. The Clinton has been running a negative Campagne in return it give the Clinton a negative result.

The clinton make an argument Hillary is more electable than Senator Obama.
For you to be more electable you most show that you have more support from the people who choose who they want to represent them.

The people gave Hillary less support on the poll, less support on raising money, less support on number of State won, less support among democrat, republican and independent combine, less support on the popular vote. Finally Hillary is behind on the delegates count whish is what you need to be elected.

My quetion is how does that make Hillary more elected when she is behind on every count? Don't you think that said who the people want to represent them.

I take some time to calculate what each candidate need to win:

Obama Hillary

38% of the remining super Delegates 70% Super D.

46% of the reminning Pledge Delegates 54% P. Delegates

do the math they you see the ineventable.

Someone should have told Senator Obama this months ago. He has been complaining about "the past 15 years" since the beginning of his campaign, lumping the Clintons together with Bush. If Democratic Party officials have a problem with negative campaign, that's where they can start and that's who they can start with.

Christopher W. Mannoia   April 8th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Bill and Hillary Clinton don't care about anything but Bill and Hillary Clinton; why is everyone surprised at all these attacks? And does anyone think they will hesitate to use any political trick to get the superdelegates to support her, even though Barack Obama is winning?

She needs to drop out now...

Nick - Arlington, VA   April 8th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

Mary -> "Obama and his lies are hurting the Democratic Party, Check out Bill O'Rielly's web site article on Rev. Wright."

HA! are you insane? Bill'O? The man who never checks his sources and hates all things democratic?

CHERYL   April 8th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

HILLARY LEADS IN THE POLLS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND NATIONALLY!

DO NOT LET THE PRESS TELL YOU OTHER WISE!!!!

THEY CONTINUE TO TRY AND BUILD OBAMA UP!

HE HAS LOST HIS STEAM!!!!!

HILLARY WILL WIN!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Thomas in Florida   April 8th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

I too am anticipating a kitchen-sink nuke from the Clintonian attack machine.

I've lost what little respect that I ever had for Billary.

I'll never vote for that negative, lying, two-headed MONSTER.

Jason   April 8th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

It's obvious Hillary's destructive refusal to admit Obama is the winning nominee is damaging the Democratic Party. Look at all the fair-weather Democrats posting here whining about how they will vote for McSame if the Hillary can't change the rules and steal the election.

Look, if you really want change and honest leadership, it's time that Hillary and her supporters unite positively behind Obama and remember the common goal is to beat McSame.

There's just too much at stake to entertain your hurt feelings.
Remember: you're an adult now.

frescasgood   April 8th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

It is painful to see the unfair, biased and hateful "reporting" on Hillary Clinton and her campaign. I can understand political operatives stating positions, but from the beginning of the year, virtually all reporting on Hillary is being done with a negative tone. Is this country that afraid of a competent woman as a President? Gosh, wouldnt it be terrible to return to the economy and national morale of the 90's!!!!

CHERYL   April 8th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

SORRY IT IS TOO LATE TO REMAIN POSITIVE!!!!!
OBAMA STARTED ALL THIS RACE CARD AND NEGATIVITY TO GENERATE VOTES FOR HIMSELF!!!!!!

I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THE CHARACTER AND PAST OF THE PERSON WHO IS TO TAKE THIS MOST IMPORTANT POSITION!!!!!!

WE HAVE SEEN THE WRIGHT CONTROVERSY,THE NAFTA LIE,THE BLOCKING OF VOTES,THE DEROGATORY STATEMENTS ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE,THE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONVICTED MONEY LAUNDERERS!

WHAT MORE DO WE NEED TO SEE?

IS THIS SOMEONE YOU WANT RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?

I CERTAINLY DO NOT!!!!!

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

Vick   April 8th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Oh we all know "Hillary = Negativity"

dwayne   April 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I will not vote in November if Hillary is not on the ticket.

And the truth of the matter is, I am not alone. Baracks staff have violated and bullied voters at caucus events (isn't it curious to anyone that he does so well at the caucuses but not so well in primaries; except those primaries with large black populations.) He has misled the country on wh he is...a white-hating anti-american. He is not EXPERIENCED and has no real CONTENT and HOPE is not a plan..its a fleeting emotion that Obamaniacs will drop when he wins the nomination.

He is nothing more than an ex drug addict, racist opportunist in a suit.

Go America. (Was this really the best we could do?)

Herman LA, CA   April 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I am so tire of all of you non Barack Obama supporters and haters blaming Barack for all of this for which he did not start. That's right all of you blame the black man, that’s all some of you have ever done anyway is always blame the black man no matter what. That’s why so many blacks and browns are behind bars to this day is because blacks have been falsely accused for the white mans failures.

The truth is that Hillary and the DNC had groomed the Senator Clinton to be their nominee for 08 and no one I mean one thought that a black man would stand a chance in hell of willing the nomination. This thing didn’t turn ugly until Senator Obama rang off 11 straight wins in a row.

Then came the phrase from the Clinton camp “Were Going to Throw the Kitchen Sink as Senator Obama” end of quote. That lead to Rev. Wright and everything else has followed. Senator Clinton felt that the White House was hers no matter what and that she was the only one that could win the presidency and become the 44th president of the United States.

Obama 08!!!

Jedi Academy   April 8th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Julie, you never were a democrat. You disgrace the party by being willing to jump the fence to the dark-side if Hillary is not the nominee. It's wreckless political responsibility like yours that allowed Bush to win not once, but twice. God help you in doing the right thing and supporting Obama. He is our nation's only hope.

will   April 8th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

The fact of the matter is that there were no real 'home run' canidates to get behind this year. Look how the republicans bashed Bill, and the democrats bashed and continue to bash George W. Who in their right mind would want this job? The nature of the process drives the best canidates away. We are picking from the dregs of the canidate pool.

Hillary...2nd place isn't the end of the world.   April 8th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Franky   April 8th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

"Her actions have been divisive, and are at the heart of why around a quarter of her supporters are now saying they'd vote for McCain over Obama. She's set a horrible example for her supporters, and she needs to stop."

I would say you're close...........but hey, Hillary did this so is fine. And if she's not happy, then who is???

pablo   April 8th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

google John McCain's ex wife and see if you will still campaign for him. It's how he came into politics in the first place.

Giselle Evans   April 8th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

I find all of this discussion regarding AA support of Barack very disingenuous. Obviously Barack has widespread support or he wouldn't be doing as well as he has.

And if AA's support Barack in large numbers, so what? Doesn't the majority of Hillary's support come from Whites? Where's the criticism of that? Why aren't more whites supporting Barack? Or is that just expected and accepted. On what basis?

And when I receive material encouraging me to support Hillary as the first woman president, is that bias–emotional blackmail? Should I have whined about that?

Why does CNN give airtime to a couple of whiners who want to get upset by a "pro Barack, AA candidate" poem? Was that really that "threatening" or painful?

Why not give airtime to the swastika painted on an Obama campaign poster or the myriad racist rants against his candidacy?

I thought that CNN was the actually "fair and balanced" cable news station...

BH   April 8th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

You Hillary haters and left wingers have done enough damage to Obama by attacking Hillary supporters. You were mean and cry babies. You left wingers and media will be responsible for many democrats not voting for Obama in the general election.

Blame Hillary for attacking Obama or throwing kitchen sink or whatever. And pretend camp Obama has been very nice. Let me remind u Hillary didnot start the attack. She was taking the high road for a while until Obama and Edwars started attcking her as a crdible human being.

Concerned Canadian   April 8th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

After all the bias media attack on Hillary, after all this racial affiliation Obama has with Rev.Wright, after all the two faced out of the wood work politicians with their '15 minutes of fame' endorsements, after all of Obama's excuses in trying to distance himself from criminals like Rezko, the sexism in the media, the highly partisan commentary of tv journalists on all the major networks etc., Howard Dean's faux paus,
Pelosi cat fight with Hillary, Ferraro being gutted by the extremist Black Liberation Theologists for being a racist....this all too much for the Democratic Party and whoever the Democratic nominee will be that in November the GOP will rip them apart......get ready folks for an inauguration parade for McCain on primetime !!

Concerned Voter   April 8th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

I couldn't agree more with julie35. I hope that McCAin chooses Bobby Jingal as his running mate, then neither Democrat will have a chance. This guy has the expereince that Obama lacks, and none of the baggage that Hillary just can't transcend. He and and McCain would make a great ticket. By, the way, I am a long time Independent who recently went Democrat (major mistake; I live in Florida). I am disgusted by the media ramming Obama down my throat;I will never vote for someone who has the potential to be so divisive. He's a Marxist, for Christ sakes.

ILoveAmerica   April 8th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I hereby call on all uncommitted superdelegates to announce their choice as soon as the Pennsylvania primary is over. I believe the Pennsylvania results will make it very obvious to most of them that Hillary has no chance of winning, and if they all announce their choice at that point, Hillary will finally withdraw.

Scott L   April 8th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

All they need to do is watch Obama speaking to General Petraeus today. Obama really has no clue what is going on in the world, does he?

Nobama   April 8th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Julie ... well put. Remember, Bush said he was going to be a "uniter" and see how things have turned out. I WILL NOT vote for Obama if he is the nominee ... I will vote for McCain.

lol   April 8th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

the dnc is realizing obama can't win the big states against hillary, let alone mccain. he outspends her by 5-1, and he still can't manage to win the big states. what is democratic about forcing a candidate to drop out of the race. this is america let the voters speak. the media, and the dnc may love obama, but middle america is getting tired of the platitudes of change.

Thomas, LA   April 8th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Joe in PA   April 8th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I heard over the weekend a story that the Columbian President or representative mentioned Barack Obama specifically in a speech and his opposition to the proposed free trade agreement with Colombia, while the story made point that the same person did not mention Hillary Clinton. Has anyone in the media asked the question, "Why was Clinton not mentioned?". Then we find out that a Clinton campaign representative is not opposed to the proposed free trade agreement with Colombia and was actively negotiating with Columbia. Did Columbia know the familiar Clinton rhetoric of saying anything to the voters to be elected.. Barack Obama has convinced me of the change in Washington to "Mean what you say"
It would not suprise me one bit, if given the chance, she would vote for it. I would also hate for Hillary to wake up at 3am to answer the phone and misspeak, then use the excuse of sleep deprivation. Hillary if you are sleep deprived, don't pick up the phone.

Andrew, Chicago   April 8th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

All of this certainly seems like "politics as usual," doesn't it?

donnajp   April 8th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Doesn't the DNC realize that they not Clinton are the ones who have alienated the Clinton supporters. They should have stayed neutral or at lease never asked Sen. Clinton to withdraw. You have a bunch of over 50 year old women really p>>>ed and that is trouble for the party not Clinton. We are very angry and it will take more that kind words after the nominee is chosen for us to feel like we are still part of the Democratic Party.

Ardnuas   April 8th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

You've got to be joking when you stated Obama is running a negative camp. ARE you kidding me?

Geezzz, who keeps shooting her foot over and over? It's NOT Sen. Obama who lied about Bosnia, Korsovo, Irish Treaty, Pregnant woman, Penn fiasco, now is claiming she's a Jayhawks fan etc. Get real.

Get a grip... how predictable that you Clinton supporters always blame everyone else for your candidate's own self-destructive demise.

P   April 8th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Haha...thank you for proving my point for me.
All of you Obama supporters have now decided to attack Julie for her comments which weren't even negative towards Obama. Typical. Lay off no one deserves to be treated like that...not Julie, not Hillary...
I don't care if you like what these people say or not...but it's called respect.
Get off your high horses and start realizing how ignorant and childish you all sound.
Let's talk politics not gossip like 15 year olds.

tony t   April 8th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

This democrat is going to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination.Why? No ,not because of what they said to each other,It's because of the press' bias against Hillary,Obama's refusal for revotes in Michigan and most of all I cannot bring myself to vote for a father that brought his young children and sat silently to hate speeches against americans and America.Join me and vote Hillary or McCain.

gary   April 8th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

YOU HATERS ARE LOOSERS.IT SHOWS WHAT THE YOUTH OF THIS COUNTRY IS ALL ABOUT. IAM GLAD MY GENERATION HAD MORE COMMON SCENCE ,THAN HATE AND VOTE FOR A CANIDATE THATS UNKNOWN TO THE COUNTRY.

Mary   April 8th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

It's amazing how much hate I have read from Obama supporters.
Horrible things just come out no matter what Hillary says or does.
She gets blamed for taking it negative yet I clearly recall that Obama was the first one to come out with "she is unelectable." I'm sure his supporters won't see that as negative tho.
This entire process has been a learning experience and a sad one at that. There is no way I will throw my vote in with all the hate I have seen, it just wouldn't feel right.

Tim   April 8th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

Yeah....um....don't know what you're reading NZ...but there have been A LOT of negative and nasty comments against Obama from Clinton supporters.

I'm not saying it's right...but it just makes me sick when people like you come on these boards and make broad sweeping generalizations, based on lies and present it as fact.

Let's be honest. There's been a lot of negative comments from supporters of both candidates. It's an ugly campaign...with strong opinions on both sides of the fence.

"Don't try to church it up, Joe Dirt."

Veronica   April 8th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

The media and press have already SELECTED the Democratic nominee and it will be Obama. The party is already divided and it is too little too late to try and bring the party together. I am a Hillary supporter and will remain so. The Obama supporters with their personal attacks and negative comments have completely turned me away from ever voting for him. If the superdelegates follow suit and Select Obama before the convention, I will have to reconsider my loyalty to the Democratic party. I am a life long Democrat (35+years) but I am so disappointed with the pary. I personally have a real problem with not resolving the Michigan and Florida votes before the convention. If I am a Hillary supporter living in one of those states, Obama would have to help me understand why I should support him in the General election when he did not want my vote to count in the primary election.

zieras   April 8th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

You all keep reiterating the lies of Hillary!
What about the lies of your born again saint obama? In his Black Power, all African exodus "church", his patriotism is to Africa because that is what his church believes in. On the church web site, not a word about America.
Anyways, did obama not come with one wh00pie of a lie when he said he'd never heard the anti-American racist words of his beloved reverend? He confessed in his speech about racism that indeed he'd been present in his church and heard what his reverend have to spew out.
Frankly, I am scared for the future of America if obama wins the presidency, we barely know him. Can only hope and pray his handlers will keep a close watch on this man.

Ravi   April 8th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

"Refine" is a bit of a stretch when it comes to the Clinton campaign. I fail to see how launching a slew of negative ads, combined with lies and half truths in any way defines a candidate. That being said, lies, half truths and distortions are a Clinton hallmark.

clara   April 8th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

oboma doesn't have a chance to win he is weak and doesn't understand NOTHING he just says what he wants people to hear good by oboma he has more book sences then common sences book sences doesn't get one very for in this world but commin sences does and if i missed spelled u can corret it thank u and why are you all against a women all i hear is oboma this and obams that remember common sence

Tim   April 8th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

THEREFORE, I Hillary Clinton, Democratic Candidate for President, pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential election primary or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as “campaigning” is defined by rules and regulations of the DNC.

Signed August 31, 2007.

EBC   April 8th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Then call Hillary and tell her to pack her bags and head back to her cottage in Pinchole. Simple fix.

Sen. Obama can then get ready to "rumble" with McCain who is already crying like a baby over some comments made by a Obama supporters.

gary   April 8th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

O.B. SUPPORTERS ONLY SHOW WHAT THEIR CANIDATE IS KNOWN FOR (HATE). HE HAS DIVIDED THIS RACE AND BROUGHT NOTHING BUT SMOOTH TALKS AND RACIAL ISSUES UP FROM THE PAST. WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE. SO FAR I'VE SEEN MORE FROM THE PAST WITH HIM ,AND DIRTY POLITICS THAT HE SAID HE DOSN'T DO. GIVE ME A BREAK. HE HAS STARTED THIS NEG.RACE AGAINST HRC FROM THE BEGINING. O.B.

They report that the story about the pregnant girl was not true in how many news casts? Now they have proved that it is true. the girls family came forward and she was turned away at the first hospital she went to. I heard it on the news this morning but am still waiting to see it on CNN. Hillary Clinton would make a much better president.

GrumpsNKaty   April 8th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

FL & MI Democrats, how about holding the general election in your states in July instead of November. That way your votes will once again matter more than the other states. Rules, smules, FL and MI can do what they want because they are "special, diversity states". werd fewl.

Sue from Ga.   April 8th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Must mean more trash coming from Clinton. If this party had any balls at all, they would stand up and tell Hillary to sit down and shut up, because it is she who is ruining the Democratic party. Tell Bill to shut up to. If she is their candidate, myself and about 100 other independents will vote McCain.

sheanne   April 8th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Hey "Worried"; I too live in Florida and I voted. Just because you didn't is your problem. Too bad, so sad.........

Ray   April 8th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Hey Julie,

You brought up almost every divisive talking point (FL and MI, sexism, media bias, "Obamanation", bashing Obama supporters). And you say you want respect?

Respect is earned, not given away.

I'm an Obama supporter, so let me say something mean and nasty. If Hillary wins the nomination, I'll gladly vote for her. How did I do?

Take care, and maybe chat with someone about getting that chip off your shoulder. We need to stick together for the race to come.

Michelle, Pennsylvania   April 8th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Every day the Clinton campaign says or does something to increase or aggrevate the discord among democratic voters. I had seriously considered voting for her until I realized that her strategy was "win at all costs" and that her self-serving approach would last into her presidency. I don't want that for my state, and I don't want that for my country.

Much of Pennsylvaina loves Barack Obama already and the rest of the state is quickly realizing what another, different, Clinton presidency would meam for the country.

Senator Obama has spent his life serving populations very similiar to those across Pennsylvania, and I believe in my heart that he will continue to do so when he is President.

As an aside, to the poster who complained about the mean things Obama supporters suposedly say...read your own post again! You are negative, you are being rude by saying "Obamanation" and by calling all Republicans sexist, and I don't like your tactics. I refuse to comment on personal likeability, as you have, because I don't know you and refuse to lump you with any other Hillary supporter. How is that for respectful?

OBAMA '08....YES WE CAN!!!!

JerryZ   April 8th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Listen, everyone knows Hillary will destroy Obama. If she can't win, she'll make sure no democrats will win. Too bad the uneducated voter that Bill and Hillary brags about are too blind and stupid to realize the lies and scandals they bring. One good thing so far there's not many out there because Obama is ahead. When she senses she will loose, she will tear up Obama and the party. Then we'll have war happy senile McCain in office, continuing the Bush presidency for at least four more years. Get ready to go to war with Iran and the economy bottom out.

WAS 4 Hillary   April 8th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Julie we love you its your Candidate we dislike reason being.. need I say it again? – SHE IS A LIAR!
Are you living under a rock? Look at what she did to the folks in OH she lied to them about NAFTA and the truth only came out after she won – opps too late now!
We are simply trying to educate the folks who are a bit slow to see the real deal with Hillary... She lied about: Nafta – insulting all the trade and uninon workers, Sniper Fire – insulting the families and all those who served in the military (and the folks in Bosnia- great way to build international relations), Pregnant woman who died from lack of insurance – insulting all the folks in healthcare, The dirty politics and mud slinging she is constantly throwing even when asked about her Penn secret backdoor deals with Columbia – insulting all the people in America.
Hillary is worng for America PERIOD!! She is only known because of Bill!!

Michael   April 8th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

The longer Hillary stays in this campaign the more harm she does to the democratic party.

sheanne   April 8th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

The Democratic party is already ruined and divided beyond repair.

You have 2 strong candidates who's followers will not vote for the other in the general election.

You have one candidate who, in the media eye, can say and do anything and never chastised while the other is berated against in an obvious biased manner.

You have 2 states whose voters voices are silenced.

It's a shame as you have 2 candidates who agreed in their senate voting records (that's when Obama used his voice instead of "present"). The both together, as a team, is the only way to unite.

Clintonites and Obamanians! MUST READ! Its the republicans that are posting and pretending to be Obamanians/Clinotonites to drive us mad against each other.

YES both Obama and Clinton sides have been battling each other but the most divisive and rude statements come from the republicans! We've been had DEMOCRATS! Check out the links.

THIS MEANS WAR! Smarten up democrats.

Please google this "Republicans bloggers posing as democrats on blogs".

name-calling   April 8th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

The Obama camp has been acting like school children. First they called Hillary Clinton divisive, do anything to win, montster... Now, they are doing the same thing to McCain too. I hope he grows up and act like an adult and run a clean campaign like Obama always claims he's doing. Or maybe he prefers double-talk.

Grant   April 8th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Get ready, the Clintons are hoisting the house as we speak to throw at Obama, never mind the kitchen sink...there is only one way for them to win the nomination and that is to destroy the character of Obama. This race is going to get ruthless and brutal by next weekend...Bill warned us of this....keep in mind the Clintons offered the VP slot to Obama as an olive branch...he might regret his rejections. When they are done with him, the only office he might get will be a bylaw officer!

Get real DNC, the Clintons do not care about you! Howard Dean and his crew will be the first guys gone when they win the nomination and replaced with their own crew at HQ. That is the reality of the situation!

Stacey   April 8th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Hillary will win the great state of Pennsylvania by a HUGE margin. She is beloved here!! Then she'll sweep up in North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. At that point, she'll be ahead in the popular vote, especially because the good people of Florida and Michigan REMEMBER that they chose Hillary and their votes should count!! I predict John Edwards will endorse Hillary before the N.C. Primary and possibly be her V.P. What a ticket!! What hope for America!!
To all of Hillary's. Supporters
.Please don't let the old sexist Republicans make you feel bad with their rampant sexism that follows Hillary. It's a typical CNN, and MSNBC blogger to scourn a woman who can throw a punch. Down with the Obamanation of this 2008 election year! Hillary Clinton . . . our next black President!
Obama supporters say some of the meanest, nastiest things. If they want people to rally behind their candidate should he get the nomination, they better show more respect. Right now, I don't like them very much.

Keep dreaming Julie, you're more delusional than the candidate you support!!

Susan MO   April 8th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Obama is the one is so negative and will say or do anything to be in the news.......'Star Struck'. We thought about him at first, but the more we watched & listened to him, the more we turned against him. We are now for Clinton.

julie35   April 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Blame the media , the bias dnc,and Obamas own lies and arrogance, I am so glad I got involved with politics this election! I have found out things I never wanted to know! This is NOT the democratic party that I was proud of, It is like some trashy thug show.. Until I experienced it first hand I would have not believed that this election has been bought,threatened, bribed,for Obama, It is sickening, I will proudly campaign for McCain in the fall if Obama is the nominee, He is weak, and has the dnc and crooked media to thank!

Get Real   April 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

What's been negative are the Democrats who opened their mouths and supported one candidate before the voting was over, made party rules that disenfranchised voters instead of punishing the politicians, the spin and disloyalty of their own, the name calling, the double standards, the exaggerations, the grandstanding, trying to force a candidate out of the race, the focus on personality (likeability) instead of issues and a news media that is so bias, they are pathetic. And then the final blow...they point the finger and blame everything on one candidate. This party loses more opportunities and gets weaker and weaker with every election. They cower to a criminal Republican party because they are afraid that the Rove machine or Fox Noise will ruin their careers. I am ready for a change...a real change, not hot air...give me a party for the people.

NZ, NJ   April 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

One interesting point to note.....

In all the posts I have read over the past months, I have always seen that McCain supporters who are posting comments (although fewer) are always posting positive comments for McCain. I also see Hillary supporters always posting positive comments for Hillary. However, I ALWAYS see Obama supporters ALWAYS posting NEGATIVE comments against Hillary. It is a sad day in America when a presidential candidate is chosen based on hatred for another. this only goes to show the character and mentality of the Obama followers. Their negativity and nastiness however will cause Obama to lose the presidency and the truth behind the more qualified candidates will finally come forth. Sadly it will be too late.

Whatever   April 8th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Julie – Your first paragraph sounds like something from Bill's fantasy land. Maybe you did inhale, eh? Then your second paragraph talks about how nasty Obama supporters are. Have you completely missed Hillary's campaign, or did you just 'misspeak' when you meant to say Hillary supporters?

Chuck in Oregon   April 8th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Keep dreaming Julie. There will never be a wide margin, there has never been a wide margin in Hillary's benefit. Best case senario Hillary will benefit by a margin of 2 or 3 %, and there is a potential that it will end in a draw or a slight margin of 1 or 2% in Obama's favor. Either way, anything less that a 15% lead by Clinton is a defeat. Obama will win North Carolina, Oregon, Montana, hands down by plus 10% or more..which just creates more and more of a lead. They are tied in Indiana and that could go in his favor also. So where is the battle state... it is almost gone.
BTW Obama won Texas, not Clinton. Texas system consists of a primary and caucus, not just a primary. Clinton although won the primary portion, Obama wont the Caucus by enought points to give him the state by 4. So he can win a big state.

Craig   April 8th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

It would all be so much easier if Hillary would just realize that she's going to lose and back out. Even if she does win PA, it will only be by a small margin. Obama has North Carolina in the bag, and he's rapidly gaining the support of superdelegates. It's over, Hillary, please just see that and let the Democrats move on.

Obama 08

maya   April 8th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Ex-Hillary supporter- Way before that, Obama called Hillary "Bush/Cheney lite." He has misspoken on a number of issues- Nuclear Bill, JFK bill which he falsely claimed sponsored his father, Rezko connections, Wright situation,....I could go on and on. I'm sad to see that you were taken so easily by the media. I would have more respect if you supported Obama on a policy issue (e.g., Health Care) vs media bias and spin...

Mike in Houston   April 8th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

The democratic majority in the House and Senate will only suffer if the voters pay attention to what they are actually doing in Washington. This majority has spent their entire time in partisan politics at the total exclusion of the American people. The whole lot should be thrown out.

Sandy in PA   April 8th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

This guy will probably all of a sudden get a nasty letter from his major contributors in the next couple days. Then he will change his tune. Because the Clintons play DIRTY.

Jack Mpls   April 8th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Hillary needs to do somethign drastic I hope she brings the whole kitchen this Obama craze needs to stop, he has no plans and needs someone to tell him everytime he says the wrong thing or action how to handle it then he changes. If Obama gets the nom I Vote McCain and I don't like McCain. / Obama in a debate with McCain is going to show the US that Obama doesn't have what it takes. He doesn't have the stomach for it.

Sean   April 8th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Hopefully Clinton will take it a little easier now that Penn is out of the chief strategist position, although I find it troubling that he's still involved with her campaign. Regardless, Hillary has already gone too far in my opinion by claiming that she and McCain had crossed some imaginary Presidential "threshold" but that Obama hasn't, and by airing her "3am" commercial that it appears Republicans are already planning on using against Obama, and by continuing to push debunked accusations about Obama regarding Canada and NAFTA, and by a whole laundry list of other dirty campaign tactics that she's employed against her fellow Democrat and rival for the nomination.

Her actions have been divisive, and are at the heart of why around a quarter of her supporters are now saying they'd vote for McCain over Obama. She's set a horrible example for her supporters, and she needs to stop.

There seems to be a huge disconnect between Obama and Clinton supporters. Personally, I think the horrid, mean and nasty attacks ALL come from the Clinton campaign. Go figure.

NZ, NJ   April 8th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

To Ex-Hillary supporter:

You were never truly her supporter, only a hater pretending to be one so as to show people that she is losing support. Please...we all see right through you. grow up and look at the facts prpoerly and maybe you will find that Hillary and even McCain would be a far better C in C than Obamama.

ct   April 8th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

most of Obamistas, the Obama's supporters are the nastiest people on blogs.
They:
call names, ridicule, insult, throw mud, make cruel comments make fun of others, think about themselves that they are the most educated – while misspelling,
are arrogant, mean, racists some of the times,
they sound like a bunch of hypnotized psychotic creatures.
No dignity, no respect to others, self centered, idolizing their candidate to the point of being irrational. Excuse him of anything he did, does. No common sense. Pushing others to vote for their idol.
What is that? How is that? This is free country, and everyone can vote for whomever he/she wants.

Brian from NYC   April 8th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Hillary is clearing a path to run in 2012 – she will burn Obama now so SHE can run after McCain finishes his first term. She cares only for herself not the country or the party!

Clinton Republican is going to be the new term – those democratic that leave the party because of her and Bill.

Mike   April 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Do you think the GOP doesnt know things that both Dem camps do?

The GOP attack machine is fully aware of everything both camps know in the Dems side and probably a lot more. GOP is waiting for Obama to get the nomination because they have some very big surprises waiting for him.

The last thing the GOP wants is Hillary as the nominee because her record is already known and there are no surprises. She is also much tougher.

But the Obama having an affair and drug use a few years back is starting to come out and this may end it for him.

Madison , PA   April 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

OBAMA gave a 25 min speeech nd did not mentionned PENN... Thing Hillary can't do. She has to be negative and name people... Learn to deal positively...

4REAL   April 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Chuck Schumer know that Hillary is or was trying to do another upset to the Democratic race in order to gain more leverage for the nominee. Hillary will have to stop trying to throw the kitchen sink, and run her campaign as if she is running for President instead of running for a sabotage beauty contest. Hillary needs to show the American people that she can be trusted but right now she can't even run her campaign.

Dillon, MD   April 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Hey man! We also have feelings too, LOL!!! And I'm not like any supporter of my boy.......my boy gave me a little "Democrat" in me but boy, do I have some Republican in me.........now that's a combination! LOL!!

ds   April 8th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Ah, shucks. The current campaign isn't divisive at all–everyone has decided to go bowling. Throw in a monster truck rally and the dems are sure to win in November.

julie the huge margin in pennsylvania is gone already please...like hillary living in an imaginary word of snipers...

HH   April 8th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

They both need each other so its time make up and just pair up. Clinton could never carry states such as Washington,Iowa,Colorado,Minnesota,Virginia,New Mexico and Missouri.
And Obama can not carry states such as
Florida,Ohio,Arkansas,Pennsylvania.

I think they would both bring a lot to the table.

But Obama would have to be on the top of the ticket, he has more votes and more delagates.

Delton, NM   April 8th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

It's a little late, what do you expect with the Clintons–as Bill said, "Give me a break". The Clintons play dirty pool, and Barack has to respond. End of story. If you wanted to take the high road, you should have thought about the possibility of Hillary losing. When she's losing she plays dirty.

So don't whine to us, we are supporting the candidate with integrity.

Hillary's trashing your DNC Party, go cry to her, since you let her drag you through the mud.

Obama supporters say the nastiest things and MOST Hillary supporters will not support Obama if he wins.

D in NM   April 8th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

The leaders of the Dems need to realize their LACK of vision for this party has lead to this costly and at times sad battle for the White House. It is their lack of insight and DREAM of being the party of historical value which has the DEMS where they are now.
The DNC leader, the Congressional and Senatorial leaders should have convened and "combined" the historical ticket to secure at least an 8 to 16 year term for the DEMs in the White House. YET due to their lack of vision.... this contest continues with two of the greatest candidates: one a brilliant Woman and the other a racially mixed man with potential.....Here's to hoping the DNC and DEM Leadership Awakens SOON!!! Also, the Obama and Clinton supporters need to STOP their trashing of the candidates or we'll be singing the old Republican hymn for 4-8 yrs....................

Concerned Democrat   April 8th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

It's too bad that in this day and age a political contest can't be about the candidates. Now its all about the campaign. Many people just don't realize how much of a money making venture campaigning has become..... We have professional campaigners out there making millions.... Go figure!

ct   April 8th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Obama's push is expensive and never stopping. Hillary want to win too. SO, how do we expect one of them to leave? I think they should run to the end, to see the other voters voice. Not only Dem voice, we need independents etc. It is not fair for independent to be stuck with a candidate chosen by only democrats. I think that these elections should be redesigned, and redone next year.
I only wonder why Obama does not donate part of that money to poor. He is just using it only for himself and his glory.

First, NC, IN, PA, WV, Kentucky, MT, OR, SD will all go to Obama as IN is Bobby Kennedy land and was a MAJOR state to vote for JFK in 1960 as was WV. WV is also regarded as the second home of JFK. NC...DUH! look at the polls! Kentucky was another state to vote JFK. AS for PA, well I think it's pretty obvious if you've been watching the news.

Red   April 8th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Julie, your comment about Clinton being the next black President is the most ridiculous, disgusting and divisive comment I have yet to see here. Sorry, but Hillary, IF she wins PA, will win by no more than 3 percentage points. Trust me. This Penn business is the start of the ugliest can of worms you will ever see coming out of the Clinton campaign. Perhaps you should do some research into your candidate, instead of putting down the supporters of the other. You're in for a rude awakening.

Amos   April 8th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Donald, SC   April 8th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Calling Senator Clinton our next BLACK President while there is a real 1/2 black person running in the race is a NICE thing to say.

The stupid bus must have knocked you over, then backed up; and I am not talking about Clinton.

RickytheGriff   April 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Ever notice that Hillary's supports don't have the slightest problem with the fact that she has lied left, right and center?

What does this say about them, and about Democrats in general? Do we really want 4 to 8 more years of someone who cannot tell the truth? Are they willing to distroy Obama and support a person who is willing to drag down their party even further?

shirley   April 8th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

This Primary is a mess and I consider Hillary to blame. She has tried everything in the 'sink' to garner votes, insisting the DNC change the rules at this late date for Florida and Michigan; blaming Senator Obama for the DNC rules, using gender, race and religion to garner votes; lying and mudslinging. I like a good, rousing debate about issues, but Hillary has strayed far beyond issues in this race.

Independent Voter   April 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Julie, the issue in this election is that Hillary is throwing punches. This is exactly the problem because we as a nation do not want politicians throwing punches. We are getting weaker everyday from all the stupid punches. We want someone to heal and unite this country. From many, we are one. As one, we are stronger to confront all. Hillary would have been good for the 90s but not today.!!!

KE   April 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Between Obama and Hillary is a huge difference. Obama is idealistic socialist, and Hillary (and McCain) pragmatic humanist.

The idealists promises hope and change and saving humankind but without knowledge and understanding of humanily. They are the ultimate answer. The only way they can keep their promises to people is to deny every potential of humankind. They believe in people power but don't believe in giving them too much power. People often suffer under the dogmatic and narrow minded leadership and their ideology. It's ultimate self-righteousness.

Hilary and McCain are both pragmatists.
The war in Iraq, it's all or nothing, you do it or you don't, you either stay long time or pull out right away. There is no solution in between. People are strong. It's in human nature to get up and fix things up (with right kind of help).

Pride and dignity is important.

Go, Hilary!

If these idiots are scared to do their job or afraid of what might happen they need start endorsing one of the candidates... Everyone has known for several weeks this is going to be decided by the superdelegates... so if they want it to end... VOTE!!!

penn is a nothing state ........you can have Hillary.........lets see what happens when Obama win the nomination..........you can vote Republican out of spite but it isn't goin to help the people in penn that need help now.........so Pennsylvania......will be caught between a rock and a hard place.........John McCain aint gonna save you.......and hillary isn't going to win....lol.....so time will tell if Democrats in Penn are stubborn fools or rational thinkers

Lee WV   April 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

How many people does it take to get this point across?Hillary has said though she is willing to take this to the convention.the only reason she has surived thus far is the negativity that won her Ohio and tied in Texas(really lost if Caucus counts).The Obama campaign has plenty of ammo to work with now.She is self destructing.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

The only damage democrats can do is vote republican. Americans must think about science and technology and not war. Both Hillary and Barack are progressive innovators for education. John McCain represents war and the past and we cannot compete globally if we stay on the same downward path.

Anton   April 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Count Michigan and Florida's delegates, otherwise you'll lose those states big to the Republican...any idiot can see that.

It may depend on women voters   April 8th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

If this campain is not seen as fair in the end, I can predict for you that democrrats will lose seats in the house, not gain them.

After all, now the democratic party is going to be known as the party that does not want to hear from voters or count their votes.

I would not count on women to support house democrats as they have in the past.

The whole party may well go down with Obama.

Andy Wilson NY Voting Expat in Dom Rep   April 8th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Duhhhh. Shirt-tails and a mandate could be long and resounding if the Dems are unified. But, Hillary's ability to claim her support as her own first, like her own personal property, and then as Dems second, like a lesser step-child, has created a landscape of personal attacks and hatreds. On top of it, her misrepresentation to the public that FL and MI are somehow Obama's fault, disenfranchizes all of us Democrats, because it allows inuendo and falsehoods to be perpetuated. When Hillary's done licking her wounds, hopefully she'll be magnanemous enough to acknowledge that we're all Dems and we cannot afford another 4 more years of Republicans. However, I'm not holding my breath...

skylark   April 8th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Most of the negative campaigning has been Clinton. Mr. Obama has been sticking to the important subjects and showing his resolve to keep it clean. Stay the course Mr Obama. We respect you for it.
Hillary Clinton is a liar and a poseur. Given enough rope.......

Obama Supporter   April 8th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Julie – I'm sorry you don't like Obama supporters. I think Obama supporters feel a certain frustration with the tone of the campaign that Clinton is running. She seems to "misspeak" and then turn around and attack her opponent to deflect criticism, see, e.g., Caftagate. This article is one of many questioning the negative tone of the campaign and worrying that it will hurt dems' chances in the fall.

Please remember that whoever you root for now, we will welcome you on the bandwagon and will need you in November so the dems can take back the White House. Will look forward to having you on the team.

Ex-Hillary supporter   April 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Clinton's campaign has been a huge disappoinment to me. Her gender has nothing to do with the fact that she is struggling, it is just that she has "misspoken" too many times, her credibility is shot. I doubt whether she cares about damage that has already been done, as when she virtually endorsed McCain as commander in chief over her fellow democrat, who just happens to be the frontrunner.

barry   April 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

This election year appears to be politics as usual. Our countries challenges have never been greater. The Economy, 2 Wars, Healthcare, Social Security and Education are serious concerns.
I find what is occurring in our democratic process problematic for the voters. I have voted democrat for more years than I care to think about. I have never been so disenfranchised by my party. It would be nice if there were an easy answer as to which candidate will be representing the party come November. But a party that is trying to silence the vote is not a party I want to belong to. It is obvious that the party leaders are trying to force Hillary Clinton from the race so they do not have to deal with not counting the votes in FL and MI. If the party leaders continue to go try and push Senator Clinton from the race they will do more to disenfranchise voters than anything either one of the two candidates could possibly do. Come November I very well may be a registered Independent voting for John McCain.

SUE, Michigan   April 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I wish the Obama supporters would get off their "throw it in" bandwagon. Last time I checked, if Florida and Michigan are counted, this is too close to call. I know they want her to cave in, but she is a tough cookie, and will not drop out. Besides, she's going to win! Obama has even more baggage than she does, and once all the facts are out, the choice will be clear.
At that point, Democrats will start looking at McCain and HIS problems, and they will rally around her and all the Democratic candidates, and things will begin to change.
And I have to wonder at all these "new" Democrats registering in PA and elsewhere. Are they really Democrats, or bored Republicans who don't have a vote, and are trying to bring down Hillary because they know Barack is beatable? I want to see THAT poll.

Willy   April 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Mike   April 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Who is this guy??? He needs to sit down and let the primary go on and I hope Clinton continues to attack Obama... Obama has a lot of questions to answer if he is going to be the nominee in November...

Right now he is unelectible because he refuses to deal with FL and MI... He seems to think that he can win Colorado and a few other states to make up for losing Ohio and Florida... He is a huge risk in November and the superdelegates know it!!!

Tom   April 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Shirley, Silicon Valley, CA   April 8th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Not only Hillary Clinton's divisiveness cost Democratic Party, but also Hillary's cheap shots and lies one after another will cost the general election.

The Clintons will drive out American people to vote against Hillary!

Andrea   April 8th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Thank you Senator Clinton for rolling with the punches. That represents character, wisdom, intelligence and also grace. Just check out the folks voting for Mr Obama (mostly young & inexperienced, just like him). They holler, but they really don't comprehend what is really happening to this country. They have not been out in the real world to experience the 1st blow.
The Clinton's have done the best they could for the poor people of this country, and we had a wonderful 8 yrs. Obama supporters, Leave the former President's indescrections out of this. We don't have the right to judge others. How quickly we forget, and how ungrateful we are for everything the Clintons did for the poor when they were in the White House.

My Thanks to the Clintons – Go Senator Clinton, we have your back.

Hillary Clinton   April 8th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Dear Julie,

I won't win BUT I can promise to continue to lie, craft-up trickery against Barack (who is a very nice fellow), duct at imaginary sniper fire, continue to misspeak, make up health care stories about people who cannot rebuke me and continue to harm the democratic party but not leaving...

But thanks for the confidence in me even though I don't deserve it..

As recent polls state Barack will when Penn as well as the other remaining states and continue on to become the nominee.

Please back him as he is "real change" and will not disgrace the whitehouse position as my husband did in the oral office BTW while I was in the house ... Oh, did you see the picture of my Bill with Rev. Wright.. He really was taken out of context.

Hillary Clinton, whom I once supported, has run a terrible campaign and it is coming apart at the seams. If she can't run her own campaign, how can she run the country? Obama has run the far better campaign with much less rancour. He will win the nomination and you will vote for Obama, Julie. Either him or the old sexist Republican!

Bud Curtis   April 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

They could not be more wrong where I am concerned. I will resign as the Democrat precinct chair in my area if Obama is our Democratic nominee. I am fed up, and disgusted, with the double standards of he and his supporters, and the way they have trashed Clinton and supporters like Gerry Ferraro.
If the new supporters Obama is bringing into the party are the "future" of the Democratic party, then an "old timer" like me will be looking for another party. End of story.

Its extremely annoying is she treats the American public like we are children. There is so much we are beginning to find out about how Hillary and Bill conduct their finances. Lets agree not to be totally blind about our choices for President. .

Ifeanyi Azubike Houston Texas   April 8th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

The democratic party is the only factor that can ensure a McCain victory and the continuation of the Bush years, Not the voters or the republican party. I do not understand how the dirt digging and mud throwing we have seen so far is not going to damage any of the candidates. How do you expect voters in Florida and Michigan to feel about Obama if Clinton is continually using an election that she discredited in September to stir up discontent. In a setting where the party leadership are not scared of the Clinton power, she should have been sanctioned for adopting a posture that castigates party rules. And to so blatantly call for the validation of elections that violated party rules deserve disqualification but the democratic party seems to lack the backbone to call her to order. They should remember that a McCain presidency will force people like me to relocate to Iraq and please save us by rising to claim a victory that is theirs to loose.

pablo   April 8th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Wow, you have some fantastic predictions there Julie. I'm not sure I'd quite go along with all of those but will leave you alone as you may have been under sniper fire as well while dreaming them up.

Whoever the nomination is though, I'll gladly back rather than 4 more years of the same failed polices we'd get under McCain't.

Edu Minnesota   April 8th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

I think they should come direct and caution Hillary. I have had her make more negative attacks on Obama than I had Obama Call her names. She has always put an attitude of challenge instead of selling accross her solution to issues. That is not being strong. I prefer she show strenght in issues. Anyway, somebody will surely win come November. Be it Democrats or Republicas.

Joe (WI)   April 8th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Somebody tell Julie's doctors that she escaped from the mental ward again.

Mikey, Scottsdale AZ   April 8th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

There's a very simple solution to this... tell Hillary if she really care's about the Party to offer to serve the Party's choice of Barack Obama as his Vice President.

After all, the current Vice President has the lion's share of the power ,why would she be offended ?

Mike in PA   April 8th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Here is PA we are wise to Hillary's corruption and tactics. She is unfit to be president and we will show that on April 22nd.

AJ, IL   April 8th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Pollings have long revealed that the most negative campaigns of the 2008 Presidential Nomination season have been run by Mitt Romney (Republican) and Hillary Clinton (Democrat). Romney is out and soon to will be Hillary.

Julie...Hillary will probably win PA. She was always expected to win there because of the majority of PA Democratic establishment backing her and due the state's demographics. Just over 2 months ago, Hillary was leading Obama in polling there by 12pts -24pts. Now polling numbers have narrowed with a range 0pts to 8pts.

Unless Hillary wins by double-digits say 10 to 20pts, her victory in PA will be seen as a draw by the media. If Obama wins NC by double-digits and ecks out a victory in Indiana, the contest will be over for Hillary. Hillary would probably go on to win West Virginia and Kentucky, while Obama went on to win Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are not Mexicans.

April in Texas   April 8th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I think you should address this with a canidate (Hillary) about the negativity. She continues to take pot shots and so do her supporters. I have gone from well I would vote for her if she wins the nomination without stealing it so to speak to there is no way in good faith I can elect one who goes against my beliefs. I am not only voting for myself but for my children and their future as well. Clinton has made this process a debacle and even now still sends out messages of gender woe is me or flat out lies.

Per Julie.. I have seen just as much negative from both sides so to say its just the Obama supporters is incorrect.

Obama 08

penn   April 8th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Having spent the last 3 weeks on the ground in PA I can attest that Obama has gained the big "Mo" recently. Clearly, this is why Clinton is spamming the press with quotes. In most discussions it sounds like the Penn disaster is the reason. In some cases, voters can no longer figure out where she stands on anything.

Deb   April 8th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

It is the Obama camp that is VERY nasty.

I'm looking forward to them officially becoming a MUTE point!

Hillary 08

A&A   April 8th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

well put Julie...the media...a.k.a the old boys club are focusing on the details not important about Hillary and her productive positive long career...she is way more trustworthy than BO, but they make it seem as if she is not...stories like the hospital happen everyday...i know-i don't have insurance

hill08

Mandy   April 8th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

All I know is I can not bear to have a BIG LIAR - Hilary to be our Commander-in-Chief!

mep   April 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

So, where's he been?

Gail   April 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

I think it's time to reflect on who has run a negative campign, it certainly has not been Obama or McCain. Only Hillary and Bill have been the ones who had the kitchen sink strategy, but even with it Obama is ahead and will be our nominee.

Go Dems 08

fred   April 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Go Hillary!!!

If not Hillary...McCain!!

Down with Obama!!

Obama is like Bush...doesn't know is behind, from a hole in the ground!!!

IDonotseeanywrongwiththiscomment   April 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Democrats if you want to have a majority in every avenue. You need to get rid of hillary clinton. She is a parasite to the democratic party. you need to kill this parasite as soon as possible.

Rose - Baltimore, MD   April 8th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Julie,
I love your dreaming. Please keep on dreaming. Hillary might win PA but with a small margin. There are people in PA who love Obama too just like Hillary. A side from PA Hillary will not win any other contest until Puerto Rico, where she will also win by a small margin once Obama visit there. Don't place you hopes too high up, you will get a heart attack at the end of the primary.

MJAMES   April 8th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

"Julie" just reminded me why I would not support Clinton. Julie must be on strange acid trip if she thinks her wishes will come true. I really, really don't understand the mentality of a person who says Clinton won Florida and Michigan. What does it take to get into your tiny brain they ALL agreed Mich,Fla would NOT count. Repeat they ALL agreed Mich and FLA would not count. One more time maybe? Don't you read the news at all? Hillary had a 20 point lead in Penn and it has now drop to 6. That's some huge margin for Hillary. Sorry, she can't cheat her way to the nomination. Fla and Mich don't count unless there is a revote. and I can hear it already so..Obama has traveled to both MICH and FLA to meet with party leader to figure out how to do a revote. He is NOT trying to keep Fla and Mich from voting. It is their own states that screwed themselves up. Oh wait, I think Obama is to blame for global warming and taking away the planet status for Pluto. I hear he also burbed once and that is reason enough not to vote for him.

Casual Observer   April 8th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Wow...

That doesn't bode well for the upcoming races. An independent DCCC head calling for a cooling in campaign rhetoric. And then, a Senator Clinton surrogate basically saying..

"don't worry about it, it all about being battle tested. No lines have been pushed"

I am waiting for another kitchen sink to be tossed with the way the Obama campaign seems to be closing the gap in the polls between himself and Senator clinton.

Boye   April 8th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

@ Julie, don't you think it's the Republicans who want division amongst Democrats that post such mean spirited comments on these blogs?

Dan   April 8th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Sorros and Oprah are playing chess with a deceitful candidate and in the process are helping the real big players like exxon win the november elections.

CTC   April 8th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Well it's like when someone is drowning, you must be very careful as they can take you down with them. Hillary please stop.

Nancy Reagan campaign on drugs. "Just say no".

Hillary supporters = Stepford Wives....
Bra Burning, Feminist. Nothing worst that someone who is so blinded by their love for someone that they can't see the truth.

Well they say that this last about 18 month. I guess the Hillariestas will not see the light until April or so.

Stacy Clarks,   April 8th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Julie: what dream world are you living in?

since when did voters in Michigan and florida "chose" hillary (Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan, and voters were repeatedly told their votes won't count, so many people chose to save the preciosu time they do not have and nto go to the polls)

Also, the polls show Obama closing in, so again, what dream world do you live in? He is ahead in Montana and other states

again, what dream world do you live in?

And if you want to see mean voters, read what hillary supporters are sayin

be like the candidate you claim to have, stop whining, and grow a backbone....the job for presidency is not for the weak!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amber   April 8th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Hmmm...they must be reading Obama supporters' blog comments EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY DAY on CNN, MSNBC, etc... The things you people say is not only hateful....its a lil psychotic. (i.e., "Too bad Hillary didn't marry OJ instead").

Hillary supporters just bust on Obama for his lack of political record and experience....they don't wish him dead! Grow up folks....and you might want to visit your local Psychiatrist while you're at it.

Bob   April 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Julie,

Why is Hillary beloved so much in Pennsylvania?

She has lied so many times to the American people that not many believe her anymore. She was caught.

So, why does Pennsylvania still love her? Please give me a truthful answer. I was a Hillary supporter but I can not support someone who can not tell the truth like her on so many occasions.

James   April 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Julie, what news have you been reading? Hillary's lead in Pennsylvania has dwindled from 20+ points down to single digits, and there's still two weeks left. Obama is 20+ points ahead in NC. I'd love some of what you are smoking, though.

Christine, Tampa   April 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Julie April 8th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Hillary will win the great state of Pennsylvania by a HUGE margin. She is beloved here!! Then she'll sweep up in North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico.

I want some of whatever you're on!!!!!!!!!!!

P   April 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Well said, Julie! I couldn't agree with you more on the one-sidedness of the media's coverage. It's disgusting.

For people who support a candidate (Obama) who claims to believe in unity and the power of positivity and hope, they're pretty bad at all of the above.

HILLARY 2008
It's about time you all stop the hate...

Start thinking about what really matters, like the issues!– which she definitely has the best handle on.

Worried   April 8th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Julie ,

and, you sound like a very nice girl/woman..
I live in Florida and I did not vote. Nor did many democrats.
Why don’t you ask how many new people registered in Florida as democrats to vote in the primaries? Probably none.
The voting results are skewed .....

Debbie,NJ   April 8th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Julie, Hilliary and her supporters can throw a punch but you can't take one and Hillary is not black. Also If you want respect you have to earn it. Don't start a fight if you can't finish it. Rocky didn't whine.

dEMABRAT   April 8th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

ZZZZZzzzzzzzz Obama is not going to get to the necessary delegates either. He has been just as damaging to the Democratic party by the catch phrases that his supporters like to regurgiate like ; she is divisive, she'll do anything to win, she is polarizing etc.

Oh, and let us not forget the lovely recount of Bill Clinton and Ms. Lewisnsky by Rev. Wright. That really helped the Democratic Party....what was it, 'ridin dirty.'?

Yes, Obama has really brought us all together by dividing the Democratic Party. But I have to say, he did bring the media together. They seem to all be on his side.

get real   April 8th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I don't understand how all the Obama supporters are calling for Hillary to quit and "don't say anything negative" about their candidate.

Do you people think that it will benefit the Democratic party to not question Obama (character and record) at this time?

I say that Hillary needs to throw the kitchen sink, the bathtub, the whole house at him if necessary.

Obama has already shown that when times get tough, he heads to the Virgin Islands and sends Rev. Wright on a cruise.

By the way, where has Michelle been. I guess the Obama camp has realized she is more of a liability than Rev. Wright.

Hillary, keep throwing everything you've got, cause I think you are about to sink his battleship!

Hillary 08... coming from a 30 year old, male, college graduate....

Penn State   April 8th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

This may not get posted because CNN does not want you to know about this, but there is a march on media bias and the suppression of voters on April 11th in New York. Its suppose to be huge!!!

Concerned Democrat   April 8th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Why is there a Kitchen sink to throw. Obama has some very serious credibility issues.... Once all the smoke clears (that the Obama campaign has been creating), the American people may have a better idea of who Barack Obama is, or who Barack Obama is not. Once people stop voting against Bill Clinton (he's not running), they will begin to focus on Barack Obama the man......the very flawed candidate!

Sandra   April 8th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

It is my belief that Hillary will do anything to become the nominee even if it means destroying the democrat party. If Obama receives the nomination she will cry foul and pout like the spoiled little girl she is.

An Agnostic Democrat   April 8th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Yeah, well tell that to Camp Clinton before they plan their next kitchen sink strategy to compensate for all the dishonesty, corruption incompetency and ineptitude of their candidate and her sleazy surrogates (e.g., Mark Penn, Wolfson, Lanny Davis, Kiki McClean, Carville and Bubba himself).

Renee /Expat Winterthur Switzerland   April 8th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

I feel another "Hill" melt down coming on! They must smell that she is going to go all out negative some time soon. Otherwise they would never even comment on it.

It seems atleast to me that everyday, some high Dem official is making a statement about this situation.

Maybe they were tipped off........whatever it turns out to be if Hill goes negative, she had better hope that she does not "misspeak" again and ends up winning the nomination. If that happens I will stay home on election day. I could not vote for "that woman" if she gains our party nomination due to dirty politics.

I still have to look at myself in the mirror!

*note to Julie: The most negative comments I have read on dozens of boards are those of Hilliary supporters! The polls bear out the facts that you all are the ones who have gone half crazy when it comes to their candidate. You did not have to put down any Obama supporters in your statement. Obama supporters are not in charge of this blog!

Sad really...You all are just sad!

Will   April 8th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Julie, you are delusional. she was the only candidate on the Michigan ballot. More people voted for 'Anybody but Hillary' than her. Looks like you know how to lie like your beloved Hillary. Let me guess, you wrote your valiant post while dodging sniper fire?

Katherine   April 8th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

SO???

The Democratic Party would be wise to remember that WHITE WOMEN FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN THE MAJORITY VOTING BLOCK IN THE DEM PARTY AND WE WANT HILLARY!!

It's Obama who is destroying the Dem party. He's unqualified and unelectable. No amount of 24/7 media promotion in print, on tv, net blogs and left wingnut radio will ever make Obama electable. Sorry Jack Cafferty, even though you appear to hate women and Hillary in particular you will have to live with Pres. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

What would MLK , who fought for hard for voter rights and who CNN and Obama are channeling at every opportunity think of Obama's attempts to disenfranchise voters in Michigan and Florida and across this nation???????????????????????????????????????????

**VOTE SMART!! VOTE PATRIOTIC!! VOTE HILLARY!!**

Country first, party second. May God Bless America, NEVER< God Da– America as Obama's "pastor" and "mentor" likes to shout.

Chudi   April 8th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Clintonites and Obamanians! MUST READ! Its the republicans that are posting and pretending to be Obamanians/Clinotonites to drive us against each other.

YES both Obama and Clinton sides have been battling each other but the most divisive and rude statements come from the republicans! We've been had DEMOCRATS! Check out the links.

THIS MEANS WAR! Smarten up democrats.

Please google this "Republicans bloggers posing as democrats on blogs".

Eric-PA   April 8th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Looks like Obama got a hold of you. Stop playing the fear card!

Wolf   April 8th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Well, guess they understand that in Florida and Michigan they will be loosing seats to the Republicans if the votes aren't counted and the delegates seated before the end of the primaries. That should be their worry – as with the 30+% of Clinton supporters who will not support Obama. They have some big problems coming up and Dean is just in la la land by not addressing them!!!!!!!

S.B. Stein E.B. NJ   April 8th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I hope that would be obvious to most people. The House races could also be affected by ballot measures and local party groups helping people to register and get to the polls on election day. I hope that both major parties (as well as minor parties) would be willing to do Public Service Announcements to tell people to go out and vote.

Sarah   April 8th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

The only thing that is going to hurt the Democrats is if they continue to allow FL & MI to be disenfranchised by obama, and if the Democrats continue to backstab Hillary.

mary   April 8th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Obama and his lies are hurting the Democratic Party, Check out Bill O'Rielly's web site article on Rev. Wright.

b-liberal   April 8th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Somebody tell that to the Obama camp. They have been running a negative campaign, which Obama pretends not to know about. He needs to step up and take responsibility or call off the negative attacks.

Go Hillary – we need a strong leader who doesn't quit and takes responsibility.

Davis   April 8th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Politics is taking credit for the good things and blaming another for the bad things. I guess Van Holen is setting the groundwork to blame Obama or Clinton for his potential failure.

Julie   April 8th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Hillary will win the great state of Pennsylvania by a HUGE margin. She is beloved here!! Then she'll sweep up in North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico. At that point, she'll be ahead in the popular vote, especially because the good people of Florida and Michigan REMEMBER that they chose Hillary and their votes should count!! I predict John Edwards will endorse Hillary before the N.C. Primary and possibly be her V.P. What a ticket!! What hope for America!!
To all of Hillary's. Supporters
.Please don't let the old sexist Republicans make you feel bad with their rampant sexism that follows Hillary. It's a typical CNN, and MSNBC blogger to scourn a woman who can throw a punch. Down with the Obamanation of this 2008 election year! Hillary Clinton . . . our next black President!
Obama supporters say some of the meanest, nastiest things. If they want people to rally behind their candidate should he get the nomination, they better show more respect. Right now, I don't like them very much.

Jack in ND   April 8th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Clinton's surrogates are as willing as she is to harm the Democratic Party and its congressional chances in their quest for the White House.

We knew that already.

NC4Obama   April 8th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

They must sense that hillary is getting ready to throw the whole kitchen.......if everyone would just present their case all would be fine. There is no need in trying to tear each other down.....

Obama08!
