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."

Go Hillary. If this was so over why does the other side keep on spending money and spreading their "bitterness"?

kelly WI   April 15th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

The only people who are bitter are those that are mad Gore didn't win, that Kerry didn't win and are mad at the do nothing congress they voted in after believing their campaign promises.
They are bitter because the dem party is a joke and has suckered them.
They are bitter because the people they think will save them are both phonies and will tax the heck out of them, lose them more jobs and blame it on someone else.
And the same people keep voting in the same type over and over.
They certainly aren't the JFK dems who fawned over "Ask not what your country can do for you but what You can do for Your country".
Now its all the whiners wanting and chanting "Give me, give Me". " I want, I want".
Give us the McCain tax cuts. Give us back the Bush tax cuts. I can choose how to spend my money my self.
Elitism isn't how much money you have, its a mind set.
The supers want some one to drop out because they are afraid to have to make the choice. you will see that the one they choose is the one they are most afraid of. No matter which it will be a loser in Nov.
Whats the buzz word for next week.?
We have the electoral college, not mob rule. We don't elect a dictator, thats why we have representatives. 3 branches of gov't.
If you think one person can kill a party it goes to show it isn't worth saving in the first place. Voters shouldn't have voted for them in the first place.
States that are done want a do-over. They voted to soon and have changed their minds.

YOU CLINTON HATERS SHOULD GET A LIFE. HAWKEYE . WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK O.B. IS PERFECT.? HE CAN LIE TO THE WHOLE WORLD CONSTANTLY , AND YOUNG VOTERS LIKE YOU KISS HISS —. I THINK YOU BETTER WORRY ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY ,INSTEAD OF VOTING FOR EMPTY SPEECHES. NOSTRADAMUS HAD PREDICTED THIS ELECTION ,LIKE MANY OTHER'S THAT CAME TRUE. HE PREDICTED DIVISION, HATE AND RACE.HE WAS RIGHT AGAIN. HE ALSO PREDICTED WORST ,IF THE WRONG CANIDATE GETS ELECTED. THE CHANGE YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS WANT YOU WONT RECIEVE. WHAT YOU GET YOU WONT WANT.AMERICA BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TO LATE. HE ALSO PREDICTED 911.

b black   April 15th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

As a black man. I hope that mccains wins. if hillsary steals this election. I have already gone online with every HBCU in America and I as well as several thousand yes thousands of blacks who graduated from HBCU's are in an agreement that we would all vote for john mccain if this happens. White America is being targeted by muslims all over the world and we had a forum two weeks ago and agreed that John mccain will divide this country even more and that the target of this aggression from from most of the world will be aimed at whites. We agreed to uses these tactics based off the fact that many republicans are voting for clinton to help make this a more difficult race for brother Obama. Well the way we see it, since the whole world is watching, we will help as much as we can to elect a person who will keep us in a war for a very long time. our view is that the people dying in this war are white. Why not elect someone who will cause this self distruction to continue! BLACK MEM FOR MCCAIN!

Sick of it in Texas   April 15th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

There are a lot of delusional people responding to this article. You Obamabots need to gain an understanding real quickly that Obama will never win the General election. When the Republican machine is finished with him, I doubt he will be able to run for the office of dog catcher. Then where will we all be? Under the leadership of John McCain? Is that what you all want, because that is what is going to happen?! It will be either Hillary or McCain, but never Obama.

Anytime Hillary has tried to make a point, everyone accuses her of being negative and mean. What do you all think the Republicans are going to do? I will tell you what they are going to do– take no prisoners and they won't care how much everyone cries and whines. So, continue to back Obama and watch what happens. Hillary or McCain, no other choice.

OC   April 15th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

This whole thing is becoming a joke!
When it's all over there will still be no legal or viable nominee who gained the requierd votes.

Obama will get killed by McCain… especially now… My vote will be worthless…

Tex-Gal   April 15th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I'm a bitter Democrat too. I will not vote for OBAMA if he's the nominee. He's not in stance with American values and princples, how can anyone vote for him? He's got the major percentage of the black vote which concedes this election is turning into a racial contest, instead of a unified poitical party targeting the present domestic and international issues. This is creating divisiveness, hatred, and the end of a party representing all social levels, ideaologies, and ethnic groups. Please quit calling everyone; uneducated, ignorant, old, and narrow minded, if we don't support OBAMA. THIS IS WHY WE'RE NOT VOTING THIS TIME AROUND, IF HE WINS. THIS PARTY CAN'T FORCE A CANDIDATE ON US, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WINNING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. HE'S NOT ELECTABLE.

Neutral   April 15th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

I am BITTER too against Obama for calling me a BIGOT! I live in a small town!

Sick and Tired   April 15th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

I hate the media and their portrayal of everyone in this race. CNN is no better than Fox News with all of this sensationalism. I am extremely bitter at the media outlets for propaganda and TRASH!!!!!!!! Let's start reporting REAL NEWS!

Bitter in PA   April 15th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Do you really believe that if Obama becomes the Democratic nominee, that he will beat McCain?

You guys must be dreaming.

McCain is laughing right now because he knows he could beat Obama.

Another Republican for 4 years. How lovely. I think i'll have to move to another country.

Adi   April 15th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

LOL. Indeed.

michael, austin   April 15th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

reid is a moron

mary   April 15th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I find it very hard to believe that HILLARY is acting very unprofessional and childish during this campaign. To be a presidential candidate is a very prestigious and serious position to compete in and she's treating it like she's applying for a job as a target range shooter. I think the presidential race should be based on the American people's issues and should be won in an honest and truthful way. Not lying or exaggerating or fabricating stories to lure people to vote for you. Also negative ads should be prohibited, etc. If we want the other countries to look up to us then the campaign should be run in a mature and professional manner. Lately this campaign has been very disgusting to alot of people in this country and abroad. It seems that running for president is like a game, or like power play, or like power struggle. I used to watch the news about the campaign, but I don't anymore. The dirty tactics being played in the campaign takes the interests and enthusiasm out of a person, some.

dave   April 15th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I don't understand why Hillary is still in the Democratic primary. She clearly is no longer a Democrat.

Hillary Clinton (D) – Divisive. Dishonest. Disgraceful.

Independant   April 15th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Go for it Annie Oakley , then when you are President, you can settle the score with Harry, OBama , put them on Latrine Duty , at Midimum Wage . See If that will , UH! make them feal at home. Can't stand the heat, , tell em to play mumble peg. Hire a RED NECK to learn them . OR sit back an listen to them whine , among Wright , Rezko ,
for Quier leaders.

Go Hillary Gooo .

ALBO   April 15th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

Factually, Mr. REID, it seems to be too late. The attacks of HILLARY to
OBAMA are not directed on issues, which after the nomination could be forgotten and her supporters would be willing to vote for him once
nominated, but directly sTATING he is not fit to be President, by lack of experience, elitsm and whatever. AND UNFORTUNATELY, HER FANATIC, REALITY BLIND FOLLOWERS, ESPECIALLY THE SEXIST
MOTIVATED WOMEN AND LOW EDUCATED SECTORS OF THE POPULATION, BELIEVE THIS.

So, other than in past ocasion, persons now saying they will abstain
or vote GOP if OBAMA is nominated WILL DO SO REALLY in a good percentage

It is ironic tha the CLNTONS are trying to exploit this fact by arguing
HILLARY is more electible. But of course she forgets that if she has
given the GOP so many arguments to attack OBAMA, the GOP will
have EVEN a much easier task attacking her personally and by her TRUE record. READ THE ARTICLE by CARL BERNSTEIN !!

But even more negative for HILLARY is a fact one poster wrote about:

"""I CAN NOT STAND THIS WOMAN, THE MORE I SEE HER MORE ——I HATE HER"

Even if here exagerated, her transparent lack of sincerity, artificial laughter, the hundred of "I'es" and reitereted half-truths or plain lies have the effect to turn away voters.

POSSIBLY OBAMA, WITH HIS ATTRACTION, MAY BE ABLE TO COMPENSATE THE DAMAGE INFLICTED BY HILLARY BEFORE
THE ELECTION, BUT THE CAPTIONED "ANTI-ATTRACTION" OF
HILLARY WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO !

TOM ALBO

Jim From Tustin   April 15th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Let them both remain in the gutter battling it
out till the end. Neither have anything to offer other
than higher taxes and bigger government anyway!

Steve   April 15th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

When is soon? I'm a democrat and I've had enough with this race. I wanted Hillary. I tried to like Obama. Now I'm a fan of neither. This November I will likely do what many other democrats are considering and vote for McCain. This was the democratic partys chance to shine, and that chance is going the way of Howard Dean and his 2004 presidential bid. Between him, Pelosi, and Reid the party actually has worse leadership than the republicans. Go figure

CM Rickard   April 15th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

I am heart sick seeing the “Gotcha” politics being played by the Clintons. I started out strongly for Clinton, went to a “they are both great candidates” position. Now after the nasty turn the Clinton’s campaign has taken, I am 100% behind Obama and will never vote for Clinton. I will vote for McCain first.

The truth hurts   April 15th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

Ed Rendell called Pa voters racist and nobody had an issue. Obama says people are bitter. Does anyone know what the definition of bitter is? If nobody was bitter we wouldn't be arguing over Bush and his policies. We wouldn't have issues with gas prices and the economy. Bush's approval rating is 28% so does that mean the other 72% are happy or bitter?

Diane S.   April 15th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

I'm sick and bitter, too. As a woman whose birth state is Pennsylvania, I'm sick and bitter at all of the pummelling of Hillary, and the pandering of Obama.

Any time Hillary misspeaks, she is pummeled — by the media hatefuls who look into the TV lens with a lascivious gleam in their eyes and try to tell us how bad a President she would be, and that she can't get to the magical delegate count.

When Obama misspeaks — his media lackies make apologies and try to tell us what he meant by what he said, as if we were stupid or didn't have ears. And, all the while, Obama's people keep getting on TV, acting like political pundits, saying Hillary should get out of the race. Yet, he can't get to the magic delegate count, either.

Well, I have news for you Hillary bashers. She IS better than Obama on any, and every, level. She IS the only one qualified to be the President of the U.S.A. And, I don't care how many hundreds of millions Oprah pours into his campaign (and don't tell me she doesn't) Obama will never rightfully EARN the nomination.

Belal   April 15th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Hillary showed us the ungraceful face of her legacy in a "would be future" President post. She is awfully devisive and if she comes to the White House, we will have a CLINTON CIRCUS SHOW IN WASHINGTON.

Juanita   April 15th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

I want Oregon's primary to mean something….what I don't know but I'd like the campaigning to continue until we have had our election.
The games will continue….Hilary will never step away, never.

Eric   April 15th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Wow all these Obama supporters. Of course you nitwits are here. CNN has become a joke of a news network catering to you fools.

Let's put Obama back in training wheels.

What's you talking about Mr. Reid? you said BHO will be over soon right?
good I love it he going to bye bye. READ FOX NEW ABOUT WILLIAM AYERS AND OBAMA CONNECTION PLEASE before too late.

BYE BYE NO HOPE AND NO CHANGE FOR YOU OBAMA.

dave   April 15th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

can the american people send ole Harry out to pasture? what with his shady land exchange dealings and changes of ownership, he is hardly the best image the dems can have as their senate leader…..

JF   April 15th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

90 Comments so far.
90% of the Obamites slinging mud.
And people wonder why as Dems we would vote for McLame.
Obama is nothing new, he is "just words"…

Dani   April 15th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Mr. Reid:

If you read these posts, you can see this is NOT healthy for the party.

Anna   April 15th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

The only thing about this race that doesn't make me bitter is OBAMA.
I love an intelligent, dignified man too.

OBAMA 08

Austin   April 15th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

President Bill Hillary Clinton will take our country out of recession with the help of Larry Summer and Bob Rubin. We need an experience leader to take our beloved country in the right direction

What can Obama do? How can he negotiates foreign leader like Putin with lack of experience. I think Obama will take U.S.A to depression because of lack of experience. He did nothing to change the poverty southside Chicago. In fact, the poverty increases during his terms. How will he change U.S.A? Backward?

Hillary 08   April 15th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Put an end to Obama, and kick him to Africa along with his Wife!!!!

Well, if Obama wins then it's over for me. I will not vote for him. I dislike his tax and healthcare plans. I'll vote indie or green. I will not vote for Obama.

BRAIN, KY   April 15th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Here in our state we are about to vote for Obama. Hillary doesn't have ampathy with average Americans. I am sick of her and she should be ashamed and afraid of sen. Obama!

THANKS OBAMA!

I SLEPT JUST FINE

rjudy   April 15th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Harry, I am a lifelong Democrat, but I wont be in November if Hillary is not our party's nominee. You so-called leaders are only leaders in one sense, CHEERLEADERS for Racist Obama and his racist wife.
Do you know their ties to a man named Ayers. Look it up. Ex-weatherman(domestic terrorist muslim org). Read Ms Obama's writings, she's for a separtist state for blacks.
The evidence that has come out about him is ONLY now starting to come out. Heck, by November democrats will be scratching their guilt-ridden heads as to how they did'nt see it coming. Too late Harry.
I will quit and vote McCain over these two phonies. And I'm NOT racist, I just see disaster with these two.

Ried this harry   April 15th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

leadership of the democrats is at an all time low! You need to reorganize and get some 40 to 50 year olds to replace any one over the 72 years of age. The young are tired of being represented by the
elite /rich/ old farts/ in this country\ Lobbiest should only be able to have access to Congress after hours. Lets say anytime on saturday would be fine. That would help the pigs at the trough situation

Joseph Adewole   April 15th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

What Hillary is doing now, that she is getting the message right, is if she won't be there, Obama too won't; this is childish……Obama will be there on May 6th…what is this her do or die fight for?
Dems is greater than any individual.

Bernice   April 15th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

IT MAY VERY WELL BE A JOKE FOR HIM TO SAY HE'S BITTER, BUT BELIEVE ME IT'S NO JOKE FOR MILLIONS OTHERS THAT ARE SUFFERING TO SAY WE ARE BITTER,ANGRY, MAD AND DARN RIGHT PISSED WITH THE SITUATION OF OUR GOV.

THIS IS ALOT LIKE HILLARY & McCAIN MAKING LIGHT OF IT AND TO EVEN GO AS FAR AS TO TELL US WE ARE NOT BITTER. THIS WORD MAY HAVE OFFENDED (NOT) THEM, BUT THE TRUTH OF HTE MATTER IS NEITHER THIS WORD OR ANY OTHER CAN TRULY EXPRESS TO DISTRUST, DISGUST WE FEEL. AND FOR THEM TO MAKE LIGHT OF IT IS THE BIGGEST INSULT OF ALL.

SHAME ON YALL!!

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, he said bitter. Well, I AM BITTER AND I'M GOING TO BE MORE BITTER IF A REPUBLICAN IS ELECTED AGAIN. STOP THIS FIGHTING AND PICK A CANDIDATE AND END THIS.

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

Melissa   April 15th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

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.

Jack - Miami   April 15th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

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

noemi from los angeles   April 15th, 2008 6:03 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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.'

therealist   April 15th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

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

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.

I hear France is great this time of year….how about you move there?

Jean   April 15th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Am BITTER that the lead ducking sniper women is still around…Go OBAMA!!!!

Richard   April 15th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

I love this harry reid guy. He is always going after bush and keeping him in check.

Long Island Democrat   April 15th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

I voted for Hillary twice in the past, but not this time. In fact, I'm going to find it hard to forgive her for the shameful campaign she's run. My suppport for Barack is growing with each new attack from the Clinton machine.

AZM   April 15th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Duke it out to the end… may the best man/women win!
This is democracy in action!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

Newman   April 15th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

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!

Rufus Racine, WI   April 15th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I'm BITTER 2!

This newbie Obamamamama never should have even entered this race… then played the race card whenever he could and continues to attack a 60 year old white woman who is better than 1000 Obamamamamas.

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

HILLARY ONLY!

Jot   April 15th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

The Obamania wanted the Clintons Taxes now they so mad that the Clintons are very rich family. You got what you asked for

Larry from LA   April 15th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Senator Reid just endorse Mr. Obama and that will help end this sooner.

Retired Professional w/woman for obama   April 15th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Obama will win the General Election because Americans have not
heard the truth we deserve to hear for a long, long time.

Crazy??   April 15th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Smart people for Obama!

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

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.

Rick   April 15th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Obama is proving more everyday that he is nothing more than a power hungry opportunist with an ego on par with Jimmy Carter. I will never vote for Obama, NEVER!

McCain or Clinton 2008!

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

Ann Aloha FariMedia, PA   April 15th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

LMAO This guy is hillarious…I LOVE HIM!!!
No wonder that superdelegate from Montana is endorsing Senator Clinton. Barack Obama is full of empty speeches and can't free speak to save his skirt.
Funny CNN and MSNBC who are the Pro-Obama networks didn't run that superdelegates endorsement for Senator Clinton…more dropping in the ratings…

BooHillary   April 15th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Not much longer now my fellow Obama supports. Hillary's all out of kitchen sinks.

"Obama 08!"

Michelle Obama is more bitter than any of you and an angry person as well. Barack only suffers from pomposity and arrogance.
These characteristics will be their undoing.

There ringmaster, fast eddie…… Re. Ed Rendall is just about as a
big liar as the " three ring circus""" How bad is that
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

chuckabee   April 15th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

how can hilary accept a fundraiser from elton jon one day and praise the pope the next? how many faces do you have hillary? what a joke!

karen, pa   April 15th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, HILLARY GET THAT!

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!

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!

Jane   April 15th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

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!

Hillary is maken me bitter I hope Reid talking about Hillary maken everybody bitter

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!!

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…

captaindollar   April 15th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

BL   April 15th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Real funny Reid…

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Debby April 15th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Obama never said he can't remember being there…he said he doesn't remember meeting that guy

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?

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!)

Jerry   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

RFB   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

Pardeep, and then only McCain. By By Obamodam.

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.

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.

Swampy   April 15th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

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

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!"

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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!!!

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….

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".

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.

zelmira   April 15th, 2008 5:30 pm ET

Hillary 08

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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

Nancy   April 15th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Bahamas for Obama 08!

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.

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!!

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.

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 5:22 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"…

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!!!!!

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.

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

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.

Raum   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

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

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.

Karl   April 15th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!!!

And take the bright yellow pantsuits with you.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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?????

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.

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!

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.

captaindollar   April 15th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

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

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.

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!!!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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.

MC, Pa   April 15th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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’

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

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

I'm bitter with this sorry choice of candidates

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

Hope Hill goes soon!

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 ———-!!!!!!

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.

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)

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!!!

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!

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.

bigben   April 15th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

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

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…)

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

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.

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 4:40 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.

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.

j   April 15th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

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

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.

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.

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!

pardeep   April 15th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

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).

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

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

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

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.

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 .

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

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

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.

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.

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!!

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!!!

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.

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…

Jo   April 15th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Hillary still being in the race makes me very Bitter.

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?

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

HEIDI   April 15th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

AMEN!
