 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

(CNN) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid joked on Thursday said the sharp back-and-forth of late between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama is having an effect on him.

"It makes me bitter," the Nevada Democrat said, invoking Obama's controversial comments that sparked strong criticisms from Clinton and Republican John McCain.

Reid went on to call the prolonged Democratic "healthy for our party," and predicted, "This is all going to be over fairly soon."

AMEN!

Jim Shimmer   April 15th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Reed, no wonder the ocngress's approval ratings are so low. Such useless leadership.

Just kick Billary out so we can focus on McSame.

Ratgurl   April 15th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Reid went on to call the prolonged Democratic "healthy for our party," and predicted, "This is all going to be over fairly soon."

Let's hope so… it's making me bitter, too.

Mauri   April 15th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Harry, where is your memory? This is mild chit-chat compared to John Kerry's fireball set in motion by the Swift-boaters. When Obama, if he wins, goes before that bunch, you'll long for the good old days of Clinton/Obama. Mark my word. So chill!!!

kathleen for Obama   April 15th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Keep them Democrats talking, Mr. Reid! This is the first time
that I can honestly say we have a candidate who understands
the word "bitter" Most Americans have felt that "feeling" before.
If not, they are either "elitists', rich, or have not lived long enough.
I am sure the young people of America can understand the
word, "bitter' if they just look at their parents heartbreak when
they lost their jobs and were promised the jobs would come
back but were forgotton. Oh, life, is sweet for us, because
we are wonderful, strong, good Americans and we make it
sweet. But "bitter" we understand!! YES WE CAN! MAKE
LIFE BETTER FOR US! AND OUR CHILDREN!

Michael G- Ventura, CA   April 15th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

If this is "heathy for our party" I guess all these "Hillary or McCain 08″ posts are only meant to get the adrenaline going?

Jo   April 15th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Hillary still being in the race makes me very Bitter.

OH my.... I am Bitter too   April 15th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I am bitter at OBAMA…. I REGRET VOTING FOR HIM… HE WILL NOT CUT IT FOR ME IN NOVEMBER…

Debby   April 15th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Hey Reid its not going to be a joke if the story about Obama being at Rezko's party is true. CNN why isn't this front and center by the way. I read the Obama's said they had no recololection of being there. How can you not recolect being at a party for someone. If Obama can't remember back as early as 2004 we are in trouble if he is our Commander and Chief.

Sallie Mae   April 15th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I'm BITTER too, and so are the rest of my Penn neighbors! We're sick and tired of being sick and tired and we're not gonna take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hillabeans is a mess! She is like so yesterday's news! NEXT!

Barack OBAMA - Conan O'BRIEN '08

WHOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Vm   April 15th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I wonder have all the Clinton supporters received their portion of $109 million that the Clintons made because the had to be promised something to hold on this long!!

James, PA   April 15th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Majority leaders should tell Hillary Clinton to stop those negative attacks. She is ruining the party.

Portland, Oregon   April 15th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Mr. Reid: Yourself and yours sincerely Nancy Pelosi should shut your traps and get something DONE in the congress. I wish I was still in California. I would definitely never ever vote for that Nancy witch again. Oops typo .. should have been a B there. Stupid woman.

DJ, LA, CA   April 15th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

I'm also bitter and I don't live in PA or NV.

SayNoToHillaryBillaryCheslaryClintrous   April 15th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Amen to that no more hillary, I can not stand this women the more I see her the more I hate her. Hillary Go hide some where you are irrelevant .

Lee WV   April 15th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

This thing going on right now is shameful.People willl see that after the PA primary the bitter remarks were not far off base.Hillary will win PA but in vain,she will lose NC by a larger margin and that is what Reed is refering to as over soon.

JERRY   April 15th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Yea, hopefully over when Hillary gets the nomination.

HILLARY OR MCCAIN. PERIOD.

stefan, Barstow, Ca   April 15th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Bitter isn't that the only dish Hillary can cook up?

April in Texas   April 15th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I sure hope so as all this fighting and bitterness is making my head hurt..

Obama 08

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 15th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

The sooner it's over the better, it's making me "bittier"(if there's any such word).

pardeep   April 15th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Obama 08!

pardeep   April 15th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Jerry, is there no change that hillary will get the nomination! End of the story. It;s Mcain Vs Obama!

Sharon in Tahlequah, OK   April 15th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I am now a 63 year old, white, female that would act bitter if it would make anyone happy. By the way, I just love a man with dignity and intelligence. Senator Obama seams to possess both qualities.

MCD   April 15th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Don't even bother with Barack being at Rezko's party - the list of shameful names that Hilary and McShame have KNOWINGLY alligned themselves with over the years is as long as our national debt is large.

j   April 15th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Me too Harry! let's get back to the issues.

Linda   April 15th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Super Delegates need to start jumping on the Obama ship one at a time every day. Please–don't make us listen to her any more. Don't make Barack have to fight her any more. He is being a gentleman about it, but she is obnoxious.

kathleen for Obama   April 15th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Mr. McTrick is not going to win this election.Voted against GI Bill recently
Mrs. Hillary is not going to win this election.Voted for Nafta, Received
Money from Columbia and has been promised much, much more.
Hillary knew where Penn was going and condoned it. That is why
she didn't fire him.
Hillary can't quit because she would owe millions of her and Bilo's
stashed millions to her Campaign. She don't pay her bills to the
hard working vendors and if she is in the whole and has to pay
from her own funds, she won't pay. Bill would have to get the
divorce he asked for in 1998.

Celia Ann in Michigan   April 15th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Hopefully when they pacify Hillary with his job.

kathleen for Obama   April 15th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Is this Healthy of our party? I do not care. Voters do not want a liar.
They can trash, slander, berate Obama and they can come up with
whatever they say he did. I don't care. I will not vote for a liar or
a tricky McTrick. No matter what.

Stavy   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

I live in PA, the truth is George Bush won the rural counties but Gore and Kerry won the larger counties which were only about 14 out of 76 counties. Hillary is nervous because the big counties are now favoring Obama. She is loosing more with her out of touch strategy with this bitter remark. She may loose in the end or win by like 4 points

vince - Phoenix - (forgive me cnn, for I have sinned)   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

that's good stuff, Reid..

see… people can actually crack a joke without starting WW III……

(or CAN they…)

bigben   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Do it push Hillary out and see if Obamaloser wins the ge.

Kathleen, NC   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

I once thought that it would be nice to have a say in the primary elections. But Hilliary, her meanness, and her nastiness has really made me concerned. I doubt she will win, but am comfortable beleiving that she treats all people like this and we will never be able to recapture our American dignity.

Pol   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Where this beautiful woman will be giving money to voters on the streets? Somebody knows?? I would take them and run to vote… for Obama!

Vinny   April 15th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

The only thing that makes me bitter is me wanting my money back that I gave to the Obama campaign!!!

Stop the DRAMA!   April 15th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

C'mon delegates, let's wrap this up before it truly becomes embarrasing.

I am getting bitter too! (it's such a comical word)

mitch from ark.   April 15th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

not soon enough for me.hillary's gonna make everyone bitter,before she concedes.i'm an independent,obama supporter,who is staying independent.i'm going to recommend to obama,that if the dems don't want to unite behind him,that he and ron paul run on an independent ticket ,seeing as they are the only two candidates ,that seem to want to stick to the real pressing issues we're having,in this election.they have both shown they're willing to work across party lines,to end this war,bring our troops home,and focus on the problems here at home,first.

paul oregon   April 15th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

mr reid , you may feel this is healthy for the dem. party i bet you think
hillary is gods gift to the dem. party too. i for one am getting tired
of hillary, an billary. and there antics. mccain the war monger is
talking abount issues that effect the voters tax codes gas prices , etc
what are the dem s. talking abount ? how healthy the dem. party is.
some needs to get there head out of there ———-!!!!!!

Amy OFlaherty Reno, NV   April 15th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Hope Hill goes soon!

Obama the Great Deceiver   April 15th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

I'm bitter with this sorry choice of candidates

Alonzo Demetrius   April 15th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Reid, now we know what's the problem with you: you are bitter, too, rather than being rational and reasonable and loving this country.

Harvey in Va   April 15th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Healthy for the party .. I agree with JERRY
HILLARY OR MCCAIN PERIOD

Frank, CA   April 15th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Only the most foolish of citizens can say this prolonged pointless destructive campaign by Clinton is good for the party or the country.

Skipper   April 15th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

If it weren't for Reid, Pelosi, and Dean. We would've had a nominee after Michigan and Florida.

Ask the Democratic voters in those states what the word bitter means.

Moderate   April 15th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

So in other words…it will be over for Hill-liar soon!! Didn't she and Bill steal enough the first time around? Maybe they missed some china
or silverware from the White House! I know…they forgot to unscrew the light bulbs and remove the toilet paper!!! Bye-bye Clinton scumbags!!!

Sharon in Tahlequah, OK   April 15th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

I am now a 63 year old, white, female that would act bitter if it would make anyone happy. By the way, I just love a man with dignity and intelligence. Senator Obama seems to possess both qualities

Susan MO   April 15th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Obama really insulted the people of Pennsylvania. He was rude and critical.

He should lose real soon.

America does not need a president who slams the people

Obama…..lost our vote.

Now for Hillary Clinton.

CLINTON 08

Chief lagosboy, NJ   April 15th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Sir, if it makes you bitter….then put a stop to it. Stop this nightmare now! Mr. Reid, We look forward for your official endorsement.

Our President Obama 08’ & 12’

Bacusla   April 15th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Just a quick take: BET founder Bob Johnson also wagered his ten cents - with his racial bleep. Amazing how Clinton's refusal to quit has given voice to the most inconsequential of self-ordained black commentators.

Johnson who as far as we know has done nothing beyond initiating (lets call it funding) a struggling television endeavor keeps returning us to the dung of his failing mind.

I hope Johnson has no children - this act of political aggression will live after, haunt & limit them as black people. He who must destroy another in other to further his own cause will have destruction lurking at his threshold.

Obama will be President & Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America.

Rose - Baltimore, MD   April 15th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

I am bitter too, Hillary has turned me into a bitter person. Every single day this race keeps going I get more bitter. I hope it is going to be over after NC with a bang!

woman for Obama   April 15th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

SORRY Mr. Reid - damage has been done !
I will NEVER vote for Hill-Bill.

Carl from Pa   April 15th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Healthy for our party?? Does any of this seem healthy? I think not. All this is doing is hurting our party and now whomever is the nominee will have many problems to overcome. People hate Hillary, people Hate Obama - that means many people are voting for McCain. So, I dissagree with you Sir, this is not healthy!

I am voting for Obama, however, because I think he is the most mature and has always meant well while I cannot say the same with Hillary.

The sooner Hillary seems that she cannot win the popular or pledged delegate vote the better because this is NOT healthy.

Ted   April 15th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Don't be sure Hillary will loose NC she is only behind Obama 9points now .And she is up in IND,KY,WV,PENN,MONT no wonder Obama supporters wants this ended because if she takes the popular vote then its all about the electorial college vote and Obama hasn't one none of the big electorial states with the blue collar voters which is what it takes to win the general election .The dozen caucases he won doesn't mean crap in general election and the super delegates know that !!!!
McCain 2008!!!!!!

MC, Pa   April 15th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Yes, letting HRC self exposure & self destruction will make the party more healthy.

ART in TX   April 15th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

What it really boils down to in this race… is the platform.

Regardless of the political agendas a vote for …

McBush = more of the same (probably worse)
Clinton = more of the same

Both McBush and Clinton will try the politics of fear to win.

A vote for Obama = more progress nationally and internationally in a time when we CAN'T afford selfish politicians in the white house.

McCain and Clinton are on the same team. They are both about keeping the status quo for themselves and their family. This strategy clearly DOESN'T WORK as it keeps millions of americans stuck in hopeless situations.

James in minnapolis   April 15th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Bitter today for a Better tommorow!!!
VOTE FOR HOPE!!
VOTE FOR CHANGE!!
vOTE FOR OBAMA!!!

OBAMA'08

biiiittttteeeerrr billlllllly   April 15th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

I am bitter toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, it will be bitter sweet for the next President of the United States of America Barrak Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one nation under god!!!!   April 15th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Hey reid your days as majority leader are at a end.Id be bitter too.

Dori in AZ   April 15th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Bitter. Sick. Disillusioned. Disgusted. Disgruntled. Unhappy. Sad. Depressed. Frightened. Worried. Anxious. Uncomfortable. Nervous. Unsure. Confused. Fill in the blank….

Whatever adjective he could have used, Sen. Obama would have covered how a lot of people in this nation feel. Of course, those are the ones who aren't making millions of dollars and have every reason to be concerned about their present and their future.

Obama 2008. Period.

Nisha   April 15th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Debby- No different than Clinton not being able to remember being shot at by sniper fire. I can't remember every party that I have ever been to, but I would remember running to a car under sniper fire. Why isn't that still front page?

Dentons, Raleigh NC   April 15th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Haha, I like his sense of humor. This race is making a lot of voters and supporters on both sides bitter. Two and a half more months of this and I don't think anyone can deny having a bitter taste in their mouths. I will be glad when June gets here and still plan to vote Democrat, regardless of who the chosen candidtate is because this country does not need the Republicans back in and running things!

Ilona Proud Canadian   April 15th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Does anyone have any info as to the status of the "Peter Paul vs Clinton" It seems we haven't heard very much about this lately. I think the only place I was able to find anything about this potential fireball heading Sen. Clinton's way was on the Huffington Post.

There are so many more really interesting articles on Huff Post that you folks who feel that the Pope's visit is irrelevant can get all their news other places.

Karl   April 15th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Hillary or McCain voters are vomitous. You'd turn your back on the Democratic party and a candidate who's views closely mirror Hillary Clinton's views and vote for a Rapeublican?

Sick little puppies.

Aaron, ATL   April 15th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Hillary is a Republican in a Democrats clothing (i.e. George Bush's "I don't see anybody coming out of the Dems but Hillary" mini endorsement before the primaries started) She has voted for many of Bushes policies, hell she is the wife Daddy Bush's surrogate son Bill. THEY VACATION TOGETHER!!!! HELLOOOOOOO!!!!!! The plan is Bush Bill Baby Bush Hill Jebby Bush Chelsea… DYNASTY!!! LOL Change is here…Obama '08. Why do you think the Republican put up their duds this year, now they see Hillary Bush is not going to win, she's on a Kamikaze mission to sabotage this race for the next best republican thing…McBush! VOTE FOR CHANGE OR MORE OF THE SAME…Obama 08

Jeff   April 15th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

People this is no joke some people are truely bitter after losing their job. I'm one of them. Don't get me wrong, when times are hard, God is my only solution. I don't know about guns because I don't have one!

Ryan from New Mexico   April 15th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Senator Reid is right…..this is absolutely healthy for our Party

Helps get rid of the Bad Blood….NAMELY the OBAMANITES!!!

HILLARY 08!!!!!

Unshrub   April 15th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Obama doesn't attack Hillary; he just defends himself. With all the stumbling Hillary has done lately, Obama could have slung lots of mud her way, but he didn't. But when he defends himself the news calls it mud slinging by both of them. Get real and be fair.

captaindollar   April 15th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

OBAMA'S TRUE COLORS HAVE ARRIVED——-HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE OUR PROUD NOMINEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU LORD.

Richard   April 15th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

My prediction: Hillary will win PA by high single digits or low double digits. Obama will win NC by about 13 points. Indiana will be close. Then the rest of the primaries will run out and in early June the Supers will line up behind Obama.

jay   April 15th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Yep….bitter is definitely my word for the week. It is good to see a candidate like Obama who can say it like it is. I hope it is over very soon as well. The Clinton's just need to go away….for good!

Chris, Denver CO   April 15th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

It's making me bitter, too. But not enough to vote for that doddering hothead McCain. He would be a disaster of Bush-like proportions.

Obama support in Iowa   April 15th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

I just want to know for sure that Hillary is going to climb on the Obama bandwagon when all is said and done. If she doesn't, that could spell big trouble for us in the fall. Someone needs to set her down and remind her that she's a Democrat 1st and foremost. Will she support our candidate?????

Charlotte   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Hillary needs to step down, but, she's being a typical scorned woman. Afterall that is most of her base or support. She doesn't answer any questions and her campaign is only about degrading Barack Obama! Somebody please put an end to this nonsense of hers!!!

mike   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Reid is out of touch with America.

His style of politics is over.

Truth is America is ready for change.
After 20 plus years of Clinton and Bush, we need a government that will listen.

Change 2008   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Amen! Finally, someone is showing leadership. Sometime…folks just don't get the hint and over looks the writing on the wall. You don't have to go home, but you have to get the hell off the campaign trail.

This isn’t about Hillary or Obama it’s about us average folks who are looking for a little help. One voice, one nation = change we can all agree upon.

Darth Vadik, CA   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

If I hear one more conservative say moral values!!!!!!!

You have moral values, yeah right, the only conservative value is green value, how much money they can steal from hard working people…

…at the same time we are a torture nation now…thanks for dropping the ball on this one CNN, you only missed the president saying "yeah, I approved and signed it" (this happened on Friday after 5 PM, so it missed the news cycle)

…and a guy who had his teeth knocked out of his mouth, had his arms broken and pulled out of their sockets, was held in a POW camp for 6 years supports torture, now. He didn't years ago.

DON'T YOU CONSERVATIVES EVER DARE TO LECTURE ME ON MORAL VALUES.

Karl   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!!!

And take the bright yellow pantsuits with you.

Oregon IS Obama   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

If Billary is still hanging on by a thread on May 20th , Oregon will put her away for good.

Raum   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Smart man, he knows who the nominee will be….thus it will be over soon.

Harold L. Burrell   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Why in the heck do you not worry about something you could help, like oil prices. Relax the requirements on refiners and drill in the US. Let the other people decide how to vote.

Marc in CC Texas   April 15th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

In Kentucky, Clinton 36 Lengths In Front of Sputtering Obama: In a Democratic Primary in Kentucky today, 04/15/08, five weeks to the vote, Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama 62% to 26%, according to a SurveyUSA poll

Bud Curtis   April 15th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

I think Reid may have something here.
That sounded like an endorsement for Clinton.
Now, let's here from the rest of you "supers" so we can get this show on the road.

Mike   April 15th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

I'll feel less bitter when you retire Mr. Reid.

Ardnuas   April 15th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

I'm bitter about this democratic race too….. it's too long!!!!!!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

Eric   April 15th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Debby, unlike you some people go to more than one party in their life and therefore may not remember each and every one as well as everyone they met. Can we say grasping for straws?

Rob Canada   April 15th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

isn't it time to put this fluff to rest and get back to electing the next leader of the free world? by the way only 19 pa mayors showed up for HRC's 100 pa mayor endorsement … now that is news!

Rich H.   April 15th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Wow…a little democracy sure seems to annoy a lot of people! Perhaps you'd all be happier living in a one party state.

Bitter Voter   April 15th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

I sure hope he's right — come June 6 can we put an end to this shameful primary season and focus on actually winning in November? Novel idea, I realize, but I personally don't want to live under Republican Rule for another 4 or 8 years because some folks ego is bruised 'cause 'their' candidate didn't win.

VOTE DEMOCRAT IN NOVEMBER!!!!!

Eugene, Oregon

Mike   April 15th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

The only thing making me bitter is the fact that the media is afraid to call Obama out on anything… take the gloves off start reporting the news and quit being afraid that you will be called "racist"…

vince - Phoenix - (forgive me cnn, for I have sinned)   April 15th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

HEY….!!!

IS ANYBODY BESIDES ME "BITTER" ABOUT THESE LOUSY MUDLSING, TACTICTS?????

Mike   April 15th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Obama supporters are too funny. Let me tell you this, your boy Obama has told many lies AND insulted half of america. His new politics is rubbish and his name was mentioned again in the tony rezko trial again yesterday. He and his wife attended a party that was thrown in honor of an Iraqi guy with ties to hamas and hezbola. just wait it is coming and when the tie is made america will look at Obama supporters and laugh at you for voting for someone you don't even know.

fred2 the idiot took my name   April 15th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

It will be over REALsoon if Obama gets the nomination!!!

You might even lose control of the Senate…Reid!!

Election will go to McCain!!!

Go Hillary!!

Independent-woman-voter-for-Obama   April 15th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

I disagree with Sen. Reid, the toxic attacks on Sen. Obama are going to come back to haunt the Democrats in the general election. The Republicans are taking notes and they WILL use all of Hillary's attacks.

Why is it that the Democratic leadership is standing by afraid to step in? Hope they will do something once Obama wins or at least, comes in a VERY close second in Pennsylvania. Once that primary is over, someone one better be ready to show the Clintons the door……. or the Democrats will have only themselves to blame in November.

Nancy   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Bitters… I am going to have some bitters with my rum cocktail tonight, and watch the sunset, keep the tv off until "she" goes away…

Bahamas for Obama 08!

jim From LA   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

I hope the Dems will be smart and elect Hillary
otherwise they will loose the white house again. if they decide to choose Obama, he will not stand MaCain a minute. maybe they need to train his for 4-8 more years

bh   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Obaby and his supporters cry all the time…boo…woo…woo..everyone so mean to Obaby!

McCain '08!!!

Lord Voldemort   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

What the Democrats need to do is grab the Clintons, Charles Schumers, Rham Emanuels, and the rest of these Democrats in name only, throw them in the middle of the street and tell them you can't play in our party any more.

Oh yeah, and a little cruxio jinx wouldn't hurt, much.

Change 2008   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Once we Dems finally get our acts together I will feel much bitter.

fred2 the idiot took my name   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

I think you will see the super delegate start jumping off of Obama's ship….fairly soon!!

Down with Obama!!

NOBAMA NO WAY!   April 15th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

If they don't like the long, drawn out process, why are the primaries spread out over 6 months time?

If he wants it to be done, call a vote of the super delegates and divy them out already. Move up the remaining primaries and get them done in the next few weeks.

We NEED a national primary, so we don't go through this garbage again!

looking forward   April 15th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

By any stretch of imagination, Obama will win the nomination. Hillary is fighting a losing battle. But it is good for the party. But let them fight decently not by tearing down each other. Do they have any major policy differences? keep focussing on them. Its about winning a game humbly and losing a game gracefully. But the contenders have gone so far down the road, it will be very difficult for the losing candidate to throw their weight on the winning nominee. Imagine the almost 50% of the losing nominee's supporters BITTER and deciding to sit out or vote for GOP.

Dave of Maryland   April 15th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Bitter that Hillary got my vote in Maryland. She's so childish. Go Obama!

jeff in AL   April 15th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

Reid, if it weren't for DNC leaders like yourself, Dean and Pelosi, we would have a nominee by now if MI and FL had been counted. You've made millions of democratic party voters "bitter" and that's not good for the general election.

Ben Holmes   April 15th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

And it makes me "bitter" that Harry Reid was spineless about impeachment. That goes for "new generation" Obama and "Madam" Clinton.

They all are spineless.

The Corp   April 15th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

What a useless, limp old man. Such a typical Dem, you're all so pathetically weak. At least Hillary's got some nads!

Robb, New York   April 15th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

This bitter thing is nuts. It's been completely overblown. Obama had a reasonable point, and Hillary and McCain somehow managed to twist it into a pretzel they liked and used to to stick it to Barack. Hopefully, the people see right through this, especially Pennsylvanians, who have the privilege—should they so choose—to deal Hillary a knockout blow next Tuesday by voting for Barack Obama. Come on. How much longer must this thing go on? He's leading national polls. He's leading in delegates. He's leading in states won. He's leading in the popular vote. If she were somehow to have this thing handed to her, even Hillary lovers know that this will never fly with the rest of America. Obama's the one. Come on, PA. Get it done. Seal the deal.

vic nashville,Tn   April 15th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

If you endorse Hillary you won’t hear this word (bitter) in November
Hillary 08

Dave, Seattle WA   April 15th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Look no further for a proxy that stands for all that is wrong with politics - Harry Reed.

I think all of this will be over before long by Nov no one will what to vote everyone stay home

Democrats look weak this year. Too much infighting. Turns me off.

mary-NH   April 15th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I hope it is over soon and that the real race starts.

Jerry says, "HILLARY OR MCCAIN. PERIOD." The truth is, they're pretty much the same candidate.

Suzie M. in Las Vegas   April 15th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I can't believe this is STILL going on…Hill and Bill, please quit now - you are so over.

Richard   April 15th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Do you HAVE to criticize Obama using terms such as "boy"? C'mon. It shows your true colors. This isn't 1950.

We Love You Hillary. Don't listen to these Bitter obamabot's.
Don't give up at all cost.

Hillary 2008 :)

Geez...   April 15th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

People read up on some past Dem primaries. This is nothing. Relax.

zelmira   April 15th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

NO MORE OBAMA PLEASE

Ronnie Lopez in South Texas   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Hillary reminds me of someone on trial who has semi-dressed themselves up so that they look like upstanding citizens as per their lawyers instructions. The minute the a"guilty" verdict comes in, they are carted away and a year or so later you see a follow up story on Nightline and see them incarcerated in solitary confinement due to their repugnant behavior so blatantly concealed while they were on trial. Wait till it's over–then we will see the real Hillary. I just don't trust what I see and hear. I just don't trust her at all.

Noah   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

Guess what Obama, voters in Florida and Michigan are bitter because your lawyers made their votes null and void. Guess they will now cling to guns and religion and become bigots also.

The change candidate has changed something already. His team made it clear that he doesn't care about the people in Florida and Michigan..he better "hope" they will vote if he is the nominee, but I think they will still be "bitter".

becky   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

I am thankful I do not live in NY and have to deal with her after all this. By the way… after what I have seen so far from her, I do not believe she should be a senator either….

Gary in Denver   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

I tried to be fair after Senator Clinton's remark. I have thought about it long and hard.

Am I bitter? Uh, Yeah!!

What do I cling to? These political tickers, that's what!!!

dan   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

All this bitterness is surely make me vote for McCain if Hilary isn't the Democratic nominee. It's clear Obama and his cultlike supporters need to get a reality check. Obama ain't ready for primetime, he'd be more of the same ole GWBush ineptness.

carl Indep.Mo.   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

you vote for obama ..your all nuts! The Republicans will take him to the cleaners…..Hillary has a better shot for the Democrats..your all fooled by the great "Messiah" …

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!

Christine   April 15th, 2008 5:31 pm ET

How about a new slogan, just to let Hillary know her tactics aren't working:
"Bitter for Obama!"

Swampy   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

How astute. Given that the convention is in August, I'd say he's right.

johna   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

We know absolutely nothing about Obama except he opens mouth and inserts foot a lot. If he says the wrong thing to lets say Russia he may not be able to take it back and he could start a war. America wake up he is not a good choice for president he is really scary. As for Harry Reid he is useless and worthless. I hate to vote for our choices but at least I know where McCain stands and what he has done for America and all Obama does is insult Americans.

don't worry, be happy   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

The democratic party has been experiencing a slow split for the last 10 years.

Obama has accentuated and capitalized on that schism for personal political gain.

On one side you have the left wing elitists who intellectually embrace the idea of equality- but can not and do not put it into practice.

They continue to look down their noses at the less fortunate, who they label uneducated, and then profess to want to "save them".

They support Obama. Because of his skin color, African Americans also overwhelmingly support him, irregardless of political, educational or economic position

On the other side you have the lifelong democrats who are more centrist and populist. They believe in democracy and have protested marched and worked for equality. They see all Americans as one people with a shared future. They support Clinton.

We WILL NOT come together just for party loyalty and unity in Nov. We have a right and an obligation to support the BEST Candidate.

RFB   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Pardeep, and then only McCain. By By Obamodam.

Jerry   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

will the real Clinton Obama step forward. Neather are good for the USA

Obama2008   April 15th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Let's hope we will have a nominee for the democratic party soon. I'm an Obama supporter who may need to start taking anti-depressants if this doesn't end soon! Even if Hillary is the nominee, i will not vote for her but the drama will be over (atleast the drama among the democrats!)

Operation Chaos, look it up.   April 15th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Nearly everyone claiming they will vote Mccain if Hillary doesn't win ARE NOT DEMOCRATS OR INDEPENDENTS AT ALL. They are NEOCONS trying to scare up Hillary votes because they know she has no chance against Mccain.

Look up Rush the Vote: Operation Chaos and see for yourself! Thousands of republicans switched parties just to vote against Obama in the primaries throughout Texas and Ohio. Party affiliation makes no difference in the general.

It's a sad truth, but would you expect anything else from neocons?

marylee wagerman atlanta,ga   April 15th, 2008 5:33 pm ET

bh   April 15th, 2008 5:35 pm ET

When I read these silly posts (I must entertain myself sometimes.). It is the Obama supporters that sound so "bitter" and "angry"; just an observation.

I second that Amen!

Praetorian, Fort Myers   April 15th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Harry Reid…another fine example of politicians living long enough to not matter at all.

You'd "bitter" retire soon.

James Lewis   April 15th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I wish that the super delagates would soon step up to the plate and vote in the man that is truly a natural born leader and put an end to all this unnecessary bickering that is a dead end road for the party.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Jim Lewis

Christina Mercelle Carlson   April 15th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Those over payed politicians in Washington do not want to hear the people are bitter about the job their doing, that is why everyone is trying tell you of how out of touch Obama is.
If the cared to look at their own job satisfaction rating they would see the 30% good standing means 70% is not very happy!
That my friends leeds to being bitter.
If your not bitter your not paying attention!
Your choice for president can't be an extension of yourself. If you want all your needs meet by the next president you should have been running.
So if your a democrat get over it and side with the party, thats unless you have decided to become a Deatheater.

Nando, Florida   April 15th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

MCHILLARY NEEDS TO GO NOW!!!!!!!!!

David, Silver Spring, MD   April 15th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

"It makes me 'bitter'" Ha ha. Very funny.

Yeah, this race is really healthy for the party. It's healthy for concerned citizens and prospective candidates to witness first hand what happens when a person of dignity tries to talk honestly and openly to the American people.

It's healthy to see one Democratic candidate caricature the other Democratic candidate in such a dishonest and disingenuous way that half the population believes the caricature to be accurate and despises the victim, or recognizes the dishonesty for the self-serving ambition that it is, and despises the perpetrator.

The end result being that whereas before 70% people would say, "I like candidate A, but B is also good" now 30% people love candidate A but despise candidate B, 30% love candidate B but hate candidate A, and 40% are sickened by the whole thing.

Yeah, that's really healthy. In fact, it's a diet that's putting a new glow to John McCain's cheeks and a new spring in his step.

BL   April 15th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Real funny Reid…

captaindollar   April 15th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

ALL THE OBAMAITES ARE SWEATING HAHAHAHAHAHA

Zach   April 15th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

All these back-and-forth jabs are getting old…Obama's ideas seem much more appealing, realistic and inclusive…Hillary is really sounding ridiculous at this point…she keeps trying to connect with whoever the issue of the day concerns even if it contradicts her track record…This all seems very desperate…
McCain sounds scary when he has his senior moments…Democrats should unify against him if they want a chance at the presidency…and Hillary, stop it with the teenage bickering…Focus on issues, not the same pointless attacks for days on end…

noemi from los angeles   April 15th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Yes, I'm bitter too. Bitter that Hillary is still on the race. Bitter at the 8 years of horrible U.S. Administration. I may not live in a small town, but I am holding on to faith (maybe not guns) and Obama's hope to get past through this.

I'm making myself a shirt that reads, "I'm bitter and I want change".

Obama 08!!

Of course it will be all over fairly soon! Obama will win the nomination! That's been quite obvious! Hillary and the Hillbots are wasting their time!

Time for positive change!

GO OBAMA '08!

Wanda Turner   April 15th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Who cares if he's bitter or about what??? Democracy is about choice, and in order to have a choice, there has to be more than one contender!

Reid is a pandering, listles, ignorant fool. Nothing useful to say. Nothing useful comes from him.

Anonymous   April 15th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Harry Reid, COME ON HARRY, THE NOMINATION FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE OVER SOON IN YOUR LITTLE MIND. ONLY, BECAUSE YOU ARE A OBAMA SUPPORTER AND WANT HILLARY OUT OF DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RACE..HARRY, THIS RACE IS NOT OVER.. AND YOUR CANDIDATE, OBAMA JUST MIGHT LOOSE TO HILLARY.. THIS WOMAN OF STEEL, LIKE MARGRET THACHER, IS NOT GOING TO BE DEFEATED..THE WOMAN OF STEEL, HILLARY CLINTON, HAS JUST BECOME TO FIGHT FOR US AMERICANS. WHAT A LADY…ALL AMERICANS CAN BE SO PROUD OF HILLARY. SINCERELY, JIMMIE W BECK

Hawkeye   April 15th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Bye bye Hillary, NO one in their right mind would vote for you after all the deceit and lies. Point all you want your character flaws far out weigh those of your opponents. Enjoy your time as a carpet bag Senator.

Gabriel   April 15th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Democracy is wonderful. It is sad that democrats would like to finish up the race now?
Who again set up this primary process timeframe?….oh thats right the DNC. The 'powerplayers' who have run the DNC for EVER……and are so supportive of 'change' …….Kerry and Kennedy….. (both of whom i vigorously supported in the past…..HEy we all make mistakes)
Cant wait for the next senate race in MA when we make 'Change' a priority.

Dave, PA   April 15th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Sit down and shut up Harry! Nobody asked your opinion about disenfranchising the remaining voters.

Gramma in Michigan   April 15th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Bitter? My "uncommitted" vote didn't count in the primary and won't count at the convention. In the highly unlikely event that the Michigan delegates are seated, my vote will count for very little, but the votes for Hellary will count for 67% of the delegates. The candidates agreed not to campaign or to have their names on the ballots. Hellary's name DID appear on the ballot; Obama's did not. Yeah, I'm bitter.

For all of those die-hards out there who say they'll vote for McCain before they'll vote for Barack Obama, remind yourselves of how many federal appointees under McCain will be conservative, right-wing Republicans setting policy regarding your finances, your rights, your life in general.

Can't help but wonder: why is this called a PARTY?

BooHillary   April 15th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Hey Debby,

How can you mistake not being shot at by snipers in Bosnia. Hillary is a bold faced liar, and you folks accept that. You shouldn't be allow to vote, you're already showing bad judgement!

I live in Pennsylvania and i can tell you Ed Rendall is not popular in
this State… He lies and now he has told all Pennsylvania state workers
that he is backing the THREE RING CIRCUS… He did the same thing when he wanted Gambling in Pennsylvania.. But then he went a little further — he said if you want your state job— Vote for gambling in Pennsylvania and he even went futher to say and i can find out if you
voted against gambling
Scumbags and liars stick together

McCain or Clinton 2008!

NOBAMA! No you can't, you Harvard educated RICH elitist!

Sneider   April 15th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Hillary can fire the campaign manager for meeting the Colombian. But, she can not fire Bill Clinton for accepting $800,000 NAFTA related activities. The fact is that Bill Clinton is the BOSS of Hillary. She can not tell him what to do. She can not fire Bill from the campaign, how can she lead this country. I don't think people want Bill Clinton back in the White House because he left in disgrace, with sex scandal. If Hillary is elected, it will be that Bill Clinton is back in theWhite House. I am sure he will have some more sex on the job.

Sue   April 15th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

If Clinton would get off her high horse and end this we could get on with what is important. I'm bitter to - at her. Her scorch and burn policy will ensure a Republican President again

Get out of this race Obamamamama; you are not only destroying the Democratic Party, but America as well…

HILLARY ONLY!

There was a time when people said they preferred Obama over Hillary, now there are millions that outright HATE this woman. Many hate her even worse than George W., and look what we've wrought with him in office. We don't need 4 more years of the abandonment of hope. Please don't let this happen to us again! Vote Barack Obama!

mike   April 15th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

HILLARY SUPPORTERS - YOU'RE LETTING US DOWN. KEEP YOUR CAPS LOCK KEYS ON AND USE THOSE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!

ATTACK OBAMA NO MATTER HOW TRIVIAL THE ISSUE!!!!!!!!

HE'S A MAN AND SHE'S A WOMAN, SO SHE'S GOTTA BE RIGHT AND HE'S GOTTA BE WRONG!!!!!! - HEAR HER ROAR AND OBSERVE THAT AMAZING POINTING FINGER!!!!!!!

I'M ALSO IMPRESSED AND AMAZED AT HOW MANY TIMES SHE CAN SAY "YOU KNOW" IN ANY SENTENCE. A CERTAIN SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE!!!!!! BECAUSE SHE "KNOWS" AND WE DON'T!!!!! WE NEED A LEADER WHO KNOWS MORE THAN THE REST OF US AND WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY OUR JUVENILE DESIRES FOR CHANGE OR PROSPERITY!!!!!!

GENDER, NOT CHARACTER MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW!!!!!! IF WE WANT TO SEE A WOMAN PRESIDENT IN OUR LIFETIMES IT'S GOTTA BE NOW!!!!!!!!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE COST TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE - AFTER SHE'S IN OFFICE SHE'LL HIRE MEN TO ANSWER THE PHOME AT 3AM, SO ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS THAT SHE IS FEMALE!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY FOR PA!!!!!! SHE SHOOTS GUNS, SO SHE'S A REAL PERSON!!!!!! UNLIKE OBAMA WHO READS BOOKS - BOOOO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!

RFB   April 15th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Did any of you get to watch the Faith Special that was on CNN? Well if you did I don't see how anyone could still be for Obam. Hillary was outstanding, amazing, and unbelievable. She answered all the questions without hesitation, completely and coherently. I was so impressed with her I can't believe this was not extolled on the CNN news the next day. Obam, well he was his usual stuttering, ah, ah, um, um, let me explain what I meant, self. He pretty much copied everything that Hillary said and he still couldn't get it out. I finally had to turn it off because I was getting so frustrated just waiting for him to finally say what he was trying to get out. She is everything that this country needs in a President, intelligent/knowledgeable up on everything that is relative to this country and our future. These are the qualities that are important, and that will make our country great again. Obam will be torn to shreds if he makes it to the general. Without a script he is totally useless, and can't get his mouth to move.

HRC supporters are acting like a child saying HRC or Mcbush. I'm an Obama supporter, but if HRC wins I'll support her in November, after all there is no diffrence b/n the two. If there is anyone who should be angry is the Obama supporters with HRC's constant negativity.

Martian   April 15th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Here's what makes me angry and bitter … the patronage payback politics of Ed Rendell, just reported in NYT today:

"President Bill Clinton appointed Mr. Rendell’s wife, Marjorie O. Rendell, to the federal bench in 1994 and elevated her to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1997. He named Mr. Rendell chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the 2000 election." Also mention of some juicy Bill Cinton era earmarks.

Now do we really wonder why Rendell is so vocal for Hillary? It's payback-time from family dynastic political favors of the 90's.

I wonder how many other SuperDelegates would like to nominate the best candidate but are constrained by payback-time to the Clinton machine. Being called a "Judas" by a Clinton should be a mark of honor since it requires independence from having been bought out by past favors.

Superdelegates need to cast their votes and get the Hillary deathmarch over already.

therealist   April 15th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Harry and his do nothing Congress ARE the reason American's are bitter!!

kevin from alaska   April 15th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

There are so many issues to vote on: the future of the Supreme Court, the Iraq War, economic solutions, environmental solutions, etc., etc. that there is no excuse to choose candidates based on what their Reverend said or some made-up story about Bosnia or their appearances on 'Leno' and "the Tonight Show.'

Lisa   April 15th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

I am bitter also, because so many people do not want to hear the truth. They would rather have Hillary lie to them, instead of having a leader like Obama talk to them like they are adults. Natfa, Penn, Bill's 800.00…, sniper fire, and on and on. and you still support this woman. She just created another issue to keep the heat off of herself. Don't fall for this nonsense. Obama 08

Dora   April 15th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Obama is selling you a snowbird for a white Tom turkey.

Joe   April 15th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

We're looking at this the wrong way. Clinton should not be "forced" out, because then she will be able to argue, rightly or wrongly, that Obama is an illegitimate contender for the presidency. Never mind that most other candidates have dropped out by now, and that their doing so in no way diminishes the legitimacy of either Clinton or Obama. But I digress.

The only real way to end this in a graceful and unifying manner is, unfortunately, to let it drag on until June. Once P.R. votes, then we'll see who is ahead in delegates, states, and the popular vote. If Obama is behind then, he should gracefully bow out to avoid a nasty convention. Same goes for Clinton, though. She'll have then fought the good fight, and come out on the losing end. Neither her nor her supporters will be able to argue differently, nor should they. She's done what she thinks is right, and is best for the country. And, in a way, it has been good - look at the record turnout for primaries, and the engagement in politics of so many people. I only worry that by dragging it out we will create an irreconcilable split within the party, regardless of the outcome. But I have hope that's not true.

Shannon   April 15th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

do we all get to vote, or is Harry just going to anoint Obama king. Why do Obama supporters hate democracy

alejandro   April 15th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Really guys give Hillary a break,(jejeje) she does not know better…besides….this kind of smart / new / true politics has been a problem for her. She can't out think it, nor catch up is to fresh, even for a professional as her. If you argue the right way you never can be wrong. But unfortunately Hillary does not argue…she just formulates a lesser version of the truth, changes words, waits to see what senator obama is preparing to do, then act. Is really poor the way she has let her campaign be managed, this whole situation, has been extremely poor. It is true, what they say, once you ran out of arguments, lies and confusions take place. We do not need confusion in trouble times. We need to be focus and that ladies and gentlemen is a fact that the Hillary campaign has to deal with, and probably has them "BITTER" over it.

Hillary's not going anywhere, people! She's winning PA and Indiana for sure…to ask her to step down is unfair! How about the terrorist lover, Obama stepping down?? Now I'm BITTER!

Get a life Reid!

Ehh…good for nothing Senate Democrats; they can't even get anything done in government, but they can sure comment on the race. There are millions of hard working Americans out there wondering how they're going to pay the bills and whether they lose their house…….but, hey, as long as Senators can comment on the race, every thing is going to be A-Ok. Good for nothing I tell 'ya, I say we vote ALL of them out in this election.

Besides, Mccain is to old.

Thank God there is one party that still believes in a Democracy. And it sure is not the Democratic Party. Time to say the last rites for my father's Democratic party. The Pope is in town let him do the last rites.

DNC you messed up. Howard Dean is to blame.

Hillary is a Republican rooting for John McCain!!!

Obama really insulted the people of Pennsylvania. He was rude and critical.

He should lose real soon.

America does not need a president who slams the people

Obama…..lost our vote.

Now for Hillary Clinton.

Are you serious??? Did you even listen to Obama's full speech??? I think you, like a lot of other people, missed the point. Are you telling me you are not bitter with what is going on in our country? Do we not hold on tighter to our religion when times are difficult? Do not people commit crimes (hence, guns) when times are difficult? Barack OBAMA speaks the truth, but it's narrow minded people who do not want to see the reality that are distorting his words. Hillary knows what he meant, McSame knows what he meant…… but of course, they're rivals, so they're going to go against whatever they can get their hands on to distort Obama's image. Have we forgetten the lies Clinton has told us? Have we forgotten that Penn is still in her campaign?? Have we forgetten about the soldiers McSame wants to keep forever in Iraq?????

Vote Democratic.

Vote Obama!

Will be over soon once the public gets a good look at the Paul versus Clinton law suit and HRC's role in that mess. The Clintons have become a disaster for the Democratic party. They have caused voters to further distrust politicians as we are constantly reminded on all of the scandals and lies that they have told and continue to tell. Meanwhile - they are slaying the one candidate that Republicans would have a challenge with in the Fall in Obama. The voters of Pennsylvania could end the misery - but they wont. Nor will Indiana. I almost feel sorry for the democrats.

Nothing but glee for the Republicans.

McCain 08

If Hillary doesn't win the nomination, like I'm hoping, then I have to decide between McCain and Obama. I see a lot of bashing going back and forth between Hillary supporters and Obama supporters and it's horrible. I like Obama. I like McCain. I also see myself as a moderate democrat. I'm uncomfortable with the heavy-left image that Obama supporters are putting out there. Sometimes it's not just about the rediculous name calling on both sides, sometimes it's about the candidate and his/her vision.

FreshFlavor   April 15th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Ha. People honestly think McCain has a chance to be president. Wow stop kidding yourselves. The amount of registered democrats has doubled the republicans in the primary season alone. If America honestly goes for another 4 years of this absolute disaster we have gotten ourself into than I rather live in China. Obama will blow McSame out of the water.

Obama 08

Linda from Minnesota   April 15th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Here's the deal. Obama said what alot of us are thinking. I am a 60 year old white woman who is watching her retirement fund go down daily. I have been working and saving for 30+ years and my retirement fund is worth less now than it was 8 years ago. I am watching the value of my home decrease. I am probably going to work until I'm 80 because my retirement fund keeps losing money plus how can I afford health insurance without an employer plan. Yes, I did all the things I was supposed to do and yes, I am bitter because those things are disappearing. At least I still have my job but for how long. All of us need to stop this nonsense of reading into what any candidate says, focus on the issues and stop this. When this campaign started I thought there is no way the democrats can lose. Now I'm afraid McCain will win and why - because the dems can't get their act together. Hillary should show some grace and bow out, she can't win and she needs to rally around Obama and support him. Where is John Edwards? Why is he silent? Same with Al Gore. We democrats need to get our act together or we'll have more of what we've had for 8 years. I am willing to bet the Republicans are just loving this in-fighting that is going on. Issues, issues, issues. Forget the stuff about she looked phony drinking a shot,
