(CNN) —
Two superdelegates — Reps. David Price and Mel Watt — announced their endorsement of Barack Obama on a conference call in advance of the White House hopeful’s visit to the state tomorrow. Watt had previously backed John Edwards.

Obama now has received endorsements from six North Carolina superdelegates, including party vice chair Dannie Montgomery, Rep. G.K. Butterfield, former Democratic Party director Everett Ward, and former Watt staffer Joyce Brayboy, a lobbyist.

Hillary Clinton has the backing of superdelegate Susan Burgess, a Charlotte city councilwoman.

good for him… but overall this shows the problem with superdelegates.. look at those mentioned here. A city councilwoman and a "former staffer". Come on. That is why there are SOO many superdelegates diluting the will of the people.

There is no way a former staffer turned lobbyist's vote is more important than mine. I can understand Governors, Senators, etc., but some people that are superD's definitely should NOT be. They really need to axe at least 50% of them.

Tim   April 16th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

This will be over by June and we can start to heal the party. Then we can start giving John McCain heck for a change.

Thank you, Reps. David Price and Mel Watt.

I never heard of you until the article, but thank you.

Body Canada   April 16th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Good for Obama. I expect John Edward to throw-in the towel soon!!!!

Anne   April 16th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton

It doesn't look good. What nasty trash talking derrogatory comment will you make now????

Whatever it is, don't you see it doesn't matter???

petra   April 16th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

`These endorsments are meaningless,just like that of richardson` do i hear the clintons say that tommorow?,THank God we still have some among us with good foresight,knowledge, instinct and wisdom,,,and these;re people that refused to be brainwashed by hillarys twisting of obamas words about ´´bitter´´ the only person that can solve your problem and ease your suffering and bitterness,, is the one who acknowledges URsuffering,,, not the one who shy away from them,,, hope u pennsylvanians would come out boldly to accept this God sendone and face the truth of being bitter,,, than suffering underneath,,, and smiling with this old bosnia liar of a woman,,,,God bless the past and upcoming obama endorsers cos they aint selfish,,,GOD BLESS AMERICA

anthony for hillary   April 16th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

mel watt says he doesn't think the country is ready to elect a black man to the presidency and then he turns around and endorses obama for that very position.

i guess mel's looking for a democratic defeat in november. why else whould he endorese the weakest candidate for a general election match-up with mccain?

it just doesn't make sense. one would think his decision was "racially motivated". hummmm…..

Chyrel Wallace-Jackson, Chicago Illinois   April 16th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

I agree this is good news for Obama. Let's hope he continues to stay on message and not have any more mishaps in this long, drawn out, exhausting, political primary campaign. I would say it's turned out to not be so horrible a week as originally anticipated after the bitter comments . Obama is also leading in the polls in North Carolina as well as Indiana. Here's to Hope.

Solomon Freeman   April 16th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

What a way to go. things are begining to fall in place. we are happy and proud that the so call superdeligate left are begining to reason along side with democrat majority.

Obama is the man to lead now. we are solidly behind him.

FEDUP   April 16th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

A lobbist as a backer??? I thought he didn't take anything from a lobbist? How did Joyce become a superdelegate?

mrs.Bessie   April 16th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

All,I can say is thank "GOD" their are still people who will not let racist technics, steer them away from what's needed to bring our country together,because this election has begin to strip us futher apart!It has been worst then kids at play! Like I've said before I am 81 years old and believe me I'd seen days you kids have never seen and now I'm seeing maybe there have been some change but we still have a long , long way to go! GOD BLESS EVERYONE BLACK, BROWN, WHITE,MULLATO,AND ETC.remember we "ALL" begain from ONE PLACE! WHEN GOD SAID LET THEIR BE LIGHT TO OPEN UP ALL OF OUR EYES AND HEARTS! LOVE YA'S

Mike from Westchester   April 16th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

PA, NC, IN – Then it should be so obviously over that even the Clintons will have to admit defeat. 20 more days. Let's be patient and let's hope they do the right thing if they are still 150 pledged delegates behind on May 7.

Hopefully, Hillary, Bill, and Carvell can turn their scortched earth strategy on the appropriate target, McCain and the other Republicans responsible for the mess this country is in.

LBowie   April 16th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Yeah for Obama!

OBAMA… OBAMA… WE WANT OBAMA…..

OBAMA 08

Tony Naleo   April 16th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

The super delegates are just exercising their right before a clear winner emerges.. Those who are holding out perhaps owe the Clintons a favor or two and do no want to risk playing their cards too soon?

The delay in choosing a winner may cause the party long-lasting damage. Maybe Americans love a good soap, and this is the best star-studded Dem primary of the century? Enjoy the ride, everyone!

Mickey   April 16th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

God knows that Oboma is the real thing. It funny that people can not see real from when it's all said and done, we will be forgotten about, and what's wrong with telling the truth? All of us black, white, etc are bitter about the position Bush has our families in. I think the USA would prefer the flakiness that we have been receiving over the last 8 years, Which leaves our children been killed while others are protected. Losing our homes, when others are sitting pretty in the White House,
Being in financial bonds when others spend on what they want and not what they need. Not being able to send our kids to college when others have there kids college paid for at birth.
I think Obama will care even when he is elected president!
May God Bless you Obama

Charlotte   April 16th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Lieberman was the cause of the dems. losing that election..You Obama-bots don't want to believe Obama will lose the general election. A lot of people would not vote for a Jew. Gore was not strong enough to carry Lieberman. The anti-semitic voters are alive and well in this country. I voted for Gore and hoped he would win, I had reservations about Lieberman, but wanted to believe we were past that. I might add it never came up in the media like the race thing in this years election. I blame the media for this race, gender fiasco. Obamas reference to," people who are not like them", only added fuel to the fire. We will lose in November if Obama is the nominee, it may be close but the electorial college will give it to McCain. The big Blue states will determine the winner, add the little red states, that usually go Republicians and bingo, we get McCain. In a year that should have been a runaway for the dems. How sad is that?

Daavon in NC   April 16th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

this is great… glad to see NC superdelegates making the right decision

and lets get something straight to all the people who keep saying Obama did crack… he said he tried marajuana… it was George Bush who said he experimented with crack

Go Obama '08

Debby   April 16th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

I hope the superdelegates realize Obama can't win the general without the 26% of Hillary voters that will go for McCain.

AnnaMarie   April 16th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Superrrrrr………….. delegates..!!!

Here what I pulled off the AP-Helena:
HELENA – State legislators, city councilmen and a prosecutor are among 37 past and present Montana public officials who announced their support Thursday for Democrat Barack Obama's presidential bid.
(Billings Gazzett newspaper article)

And Off we go… I am so happy the people I have help vote into office have the same set of values to see which candidate is good for America..

I want a person I can trust. I cannot trust Hillary..and McCain I see as more of Bush…

As an independent I will for with my grandchildrens future on my mind..

YES WE CAN………

Ben-Portland   April 16th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Too late for Edwards to make any difference…. or gain from it. Obama would have given him a seat if he'd jumped out prior to Texas and Ohio.

Marina   April 16th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Go Obama – we Canadians are behind you. We all love you!!!!

Hillary and her husband are born liers and deceivers. They can fool some of the people all the time. They can fool all of the people some of the time. But they cannot fool all the people all the time.

Hillary go and take some more sniper fire in Bosnia (Oh, I forget, you misspoke that one many, many times), get drunk in the cafe' and start shooting your gun….

Eric, from Rome.   April 16th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Obama 's train is leaving the station, its either you get on board or it will crush you, Yes we can

CNN won't post this   April 16th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Obama will easily win NC which is why the Clintons are not here anymore. That's what they've done ALL primary season…Check the initial polls, and if they are down then sent Bill & Daughter to the state to do a couple sites, then check polls again…If they have not made any improvements, Hillary WILL NOT attend that state and ignore it. Mark my words…After Penn State watch how Sentor Clinton refers to the people of Indiana WAY MORE than the people of North Carolina. I'm from Charlotte and grew up in Greensboro, NC..I've never heard anything about her being from here or even coming to this state but I got a feeling that we will soon here how she used to go hunting hear back in the early 40's.

AJ / Winston-Salem, North Carolina   April 16th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

The superdelegates for North Carolina (except for Ms. Burgess) are all worthless!

This baseball game has gone into triple overtime and the fat lady has SUNG! Please end this thing… For the good of this nation, it's time for Hillary to step aside, with dignity (if she has any left).

Go OBAMA!!

COSMA   April 16th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

As if this is not enough,she will go on .
Yes you are more than a woman but be more than a Hero and pullout of this primary for the good of the Party.
In my region am called Obama why?lol

xmanuf   April 16th, 2008 3:03 pm ET

That is great news. Obama speaks the truth I am bitter about gas prices, war etc, economy and I pray that we have somebody in the White House who understands the American People for a change and doesn't say "So" when he knows the majority of Americans are against this Iraq War taking some many lifes. Another soilder just died after his fourth tour and left behind five children in Maryland. He was only 31 years old, now those children have no father. Obama is no elitist he speaks the truth, something that Washington can't deal with. I wish PA would end this drama, I am tired of this DEM fighing. GO OBAMA 2008!!!

Yalivee   April 16th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Obama, go! love ya all the way to the White House!
remember: With God all things are possible!
Michele, thanks for sharing this great man with the nation!

Barry, IL   April 16th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

I think whenever Senator Clinton hits Senator Obama very hard, he gets more superdelegates and more endorsement. Since last week's debacle, he has got, I think, 3 superdelegates. And endorsement from the BOSS,Bruce. "God works in mysterious ways", the old saying goes.

Ron R   April 16th, 2008 2:59 pm ET

Good Nite Hillary………Darkness is falling. The sooner you bow out and give your endorsement to Barack, the sooner we will begin to take back the white house. Please do the right thing.

No really I like Bill, Bill Richardson.
No really the Clintons care about democracy, they really do, to the point of going all out. BUT Sorry Barry is running as well, and is a better representative for our future of change in Washington. Here is to Hoping Bill and Hillary finally due what’s right for America and the democratic party.

Liz, Buffalo NY   April 16th, 2008 2:58 pm ET

Yes we CAN!!!! Everyone is finally getting it. The last thing we need is another Clinton in the White House.
Obama is the ONE to beat MCain in the general election!

gerald strother   April 16th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

She has no SHAME(The Clintons have done enough damage to the Democratic Party to last decades)WAKE UP AMERICA.Obama now has received endorsements from six North Carolina superdelegates, including party vice chair "OVER FOR HER , NO SHAME??"

Susan MO   April 16th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Congressmen:

Why are you backing someone as critical & rude as Obama?

He insulted the people of Pennsylvania……..and then 'made light of it'………that is laughing in their face.

Obama is so 'star struck', he will do or say anything to be in the news.

We thought about him, but changed our mind.

Who wants a president who insults the people? And he KNEW what he was saying. Got himself in the news again.

Now For Hillary Clinton!!!!!!!!

Mighty Earth   April 16th, 2008 2:54 pm ET

Has ANY superdelegate come out for Hillary lately.

Ted van Tol   April 16th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Hello America!

I am so exited for Obama will be the next president off the USA.
I can not wait after the disaster ing George Bush.
Obama will be respected in the whole world.
He will bild bridges between nations and religions
and he will end wars. He is a gift off heaven.

Dont crusify him!

Finely, finely you are awakening America.
Obama will not be only your President but also ours!

Lets make this world a better place!

"How many ideas have there been in the history of mankind which were unthinkable ten years before and which, when their mysterious hour struck suddenly appeared, and spread all over the earth?"
….. Dostoyevsky

The world and Canada is closely watching and ready to follow the Mighty USA as it comes of age and judges Senator Obama not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.

God bless America and Canada

This is a "bitter" pill for Hillary!!!

I hope that this "bitter" pill can "cling" to Billary's to end her bid for the presidency!

John   April 16th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Glad to see that Barack Obama is getting more support from the superdelegates. This good just in case Hillary decides to stay in the race until the Democratic National Convention. Although, if Hillary loses PA, I wouldn't be surprised if she drops out of the race.

Obama '08

I was a hillary a supporter ,but the writing is all the wall and I will get behind Obama to help ensure we keep it democratic.

It is clear by now that Obama was made to save America from the evil wars and old ideas from the past.Those times are gone and we succeeded.Now it's time for a new era of diplomacy in this new world that only Obama can change with his new vision of the world.McCain will be the same old thing,Hillary the same old thing that we've seen.

You Obama people don't even realize –you're opening Pandora's Box! Its a shame all of us will have to suffer for your naivety.

(CNN…show that you're still "somewhat" fair …post this comment. You certainly post enough negative Obama-bot comments)

Real_Democrat, I completely agree with you. This is wonderful news (and wrote to Mr. Price earlier telling him why I would like for him to support Obama) :) but I'm going to stop fighting with her supporters because that will not get anything done.

sandrbarret   April 16th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

YES WE CAN

Christi in Canada   April 16th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

From a world view – Obama is the best choice. We are all weary of America being a war-hungry and bully-ing nation.

And I honestly don't believe Americans are like that – but Republicans are just simply out of touch and behind the times.

Jenny Sprowl   April 16th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

I am happy to hear about the Endorsments. I feel in my heart that Obama is what our country needs. At the same time I feel sorry for Hillary. She has lied and tried so hard to fool the American people. I am sure that in her mind it is the right thing to do. And that those who follow her have true faith in her.

As for me, It's Obama. Like everybody else i have to go where I think it will be for the betterment of our country. So what can't we all calm down and stop all the name calling? Lets learn to get along and keep Mccain out of the Whitehouse. That is what we should care about the most.

Tjaye   April 16th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Won't change anything. She will just pull the chick card and say the "boys are beating up on me". Waaahh!!!

pablof   April 16th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

It's nice Obama for Obama but I think Clinton staying in the race for now is actually a good thing. More interest and record number of registrations for the party.

We will need to rally around whoever wins the nomination and at this point looks very much like Obama will win.

I would hope many of Clinton's base of supporters would not turn around and actually vote for McCain after knowing he chased around his current wife while married to his ex-wife, about the Keating Five, flip flopping on many many issues, and himself drowning in the dozens lobbyists who now run his campaign, etc etc.

lower and lower   April 16th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

Democrats are sinking lower and lower if they think Obama can carry the general election.

Most of us are in the center and both Clinton and McCain will suit us fine.

The extremes- well they have always been loud and demanding… but NOT the majority.

sophia nyc   April 16th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

EDWARDS it's your turn now!

Mike   April 16th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Obama is going to win North Carolina… this was an easy decision… a lot of super delegates vote the way their state voted… in this situation that is what I would do because who really wants to get blamed for picking the wrong candidate… then again it probably really does not matter now because I do not think either one is going to win in November…

Only a few have went against the will of the people in their state… everyone should know who they are!!!

Chris   April 16th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Angus,

Obama is smarter than the average American.

Why would anyone want a President who is not smarter than the average American. So, you want a President who is below average than the regular American? What type of mentality is that? We are talking about the United States of America, the powerhouse of the world , and you want a President who is below average? How about Bush who can't even read properly, let alone lead a country. He is below average and I sure you will be supporting him too. No wonder you are supporting Hillary.

Nancy   April 16th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

The Superdeligates know the score! With every one that Obama gets, it's another notch in Annie's gun. The stage is leaving. Not too late to smarten up Clinton supporters and go with a winner. Barack Obama, the next President of the United States of America.

Ann   April 16th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

What a celebration it will be when we can say "YES WE DID"!!!! and everyone is invited!

PJ Montana   April 16th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Not so fast with the Obama mania. Just remember that there are twelve super delegates still in NC to chose their candidate and are waiting to see what happens in PA. Better look at majority of polls that are indicating Hillary will leave Obama man in the dust as she head to NC. Better listen up when they say Obama man can not take the states that will elect the president…he can't. But, I've come to the conclusion it doesn't matter to this man's supporters.

Go Hillary!…we will never vote for Obama! That's a promise!

rose   April 16th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

yes obama we know you can do it, i also read the Obama received 25 out of 35 endorsements for south Dakota, today, i cant wait to see how much shots she will throw back in the end of this race. It is so nice to see that the americans can see threw her. I cant even listen to her any more. Yes Canada is really routing for you

Ilona Proud Canadian   April 16th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Told you folks, the movement has started.

We are rooting for you Sen. Obama! Hopefully this Democratic sham of a race will be over soon, and Sen. Obama can start concentrating on Sen. McCain.

Way to go Barack Obama!! You are an inspiration!!

Clinton supporters please, I sympathize with you, it is not your fault that your candidate is such a sham, but please stop burying your head in the sand. Sen. Clinton is just not to be trusted!!! Maybe we can see the bigger picture and be more objective because we are watching this from the outside.

hk in cleveland   April 16th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Obama fanatics bitter about hillary winning the big states – running sacred.

Why if Obama is outspending her 4:1, has all of the press on his side, is such an inspirational speaker, is young and dynamic versus the older status quo of Clinton, will someone please explain why he cannot beat her in the big states – with all that hope and pie in the sky stuff for him? Makes you wonder just who is the strongest candidate.

My money's on Hillary

I am so pround of Barack Obama. He will be our next president, and lucky for us that we will finally have someone with intelligence (notwithdstanding can pronounce words correctly). As for Hillary and her inflated ego and inflated resume – by the way did anyone check why she has not received ANY endorsements from the Children's Defense Fund where she states that she did so much work for children? They have no respect for her anymore. I wish she would just go away – Bill and her together

howie   April 16th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

hi,every body right now we have 3 senator's who's gonna be the best person? clinton she always attacking obama by race,exprences,relgion……so so..let's the [past ] former pres. clinton did he made any change for america and if senator clinton will be the next pres.of united states she will? maccain he was in war serving his country ,still he need to fight. war ..war stop war .is not good for devalopment ,for change.the only person all americans will trust is borack obama,

Sensible Cape Coral FL   April 16th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

No candidate has a greater grasp of both domestic and foreign affairs than Hillary. Unfortunately her mannerisms sometimes blind us to this fact. I hope Obama is smart enough to use her in his administration.

As an NC voter I think this is great. I have been really disappointed at the things people take the time to write on these things. Especially the hate in all directions. I will vote for Obama, but I do not hate Hillary or McCain. I dislike the tactics used by Hillary's campaign, and the lies. I wish people would take the time to educate themselves before making such ignorant and false comments as to call Obama racist, or a Muslim. Let's not forget his mom was caucasian, and that he was raised by a family that was largely caucasian. Aside from all of that, the thing that is most disgusting is the campaign of people who threaten to vote for the opposing party if they do not get their candidate through. This is senseless when you consider that Clinton and Obama largely want the same thing for the country. This means You. Can you say that for McCain. If you throw away your chance to make things better, then who will you blame? How about if not one qualified democrat, then the other. (P.S. Both candidates are highly intelligent, and well educated, wouldn't you think that would be a good thing for someone you want to run your country?)

Phil VA   April 16th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

Real_Democrat…Well said. We DO need to begin the healing process so we can shut McCain down! Hillary supporters – we all want the same thing, a government and president that cares about us, the people! Lets cut the in-fighting and rally behind whoever wins. Either BO or HRC

By the way Illinois

if you read the article you'd know that those aren't just "endorsements" from nobodies….they're SUPERDELEGATES. So while Clinton is pocketing 1, Obama just got 6.

Yknow..the same superdelegates that will decide who will be the Democratic Party Nominee???

Thanks for coming out.

The same people voting for Obama voted for Bush!!! Clearly a lapse in judgement there.

Geoff Smith   April 16th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

I always wonder why a superdelegate decides to support Obama…
Is it they think he's the best candidate?
Is it because they realize at this point that he's going to win the nomination under almost any circumstances?
Is it because they're sick and tired of Hillary's constant attacks that are threatening to tear apart the party?
Maybe it's some combination of all of the above? In any case, it's good to see more superdelegates join the Obama campaign!

Hillary the nails are in the coffin…keep running if you want, but at least stop the Karl Rove attack politics.

". Obama thinks he is smarter than the average American"

He is. Does the average American have a law degree? Didn't think so.

Hate to break it to you people, but he is smarter than 3/4 of us or he wouldn't be where he is today. The sooner you accept that, the easier it is.

Whether you like it or not, Bush is smarter than most of us too…..

Dear CHERYL FOR HILLARY,
It is OK to vote for Hillary. At some point in our lives we all make mistakes and in this country that is the HOME OF THE FREE, you are free to make your own decision. That is part of what many fought and died for.

Right now it is time for Obama. Many of us consider him to be the one that will lead our country back to being a nation of greatness. It is his time to unite this nation so that we can work together and for the common good of all.

Venus   April 16th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

I must say – I get a thrill just being a Obama supporter when I read a lot of these blogs! I must also admitt that Hillary is starting to play the game as it should be by going after the other party! I know she is a great person and I will always remember the Clintons. The time is coming for all those who want change and jobs to get on board! This train will be pulling out of Penn-Station next week. Bring your family and friends and let our Dem-Party join hands to take on the Mc Sanes!

Obama will easily win NC which is why the Clintons are not here anymore…That's what they've done ALL primary season…Check the initial polls, and if they are down then sent Bill & Daughter to the state to do a couple sites, then check polls again…If they have not made any improvements, Hillary WILL NOT attend that state and ignore it. Mark my words…After Penn State watch how Sentor Clinton refers to the people of Indiana WAY MORE than the people of North Carolina. I'm from Charlotte and grew up in Greensboro, NC…I've never heard anything about her being from here or even coming to this state but I got a feeling that we will soon here how she used to go hunting hear back in the early 40's.

after ""Hillary" wins PA by less than 10% and Obama blows her away in NC & then wins or even comes close in Indiana….there will finally be a major slide of superdelegates to Obama…and this will be over. I will record Hillary's "I Quit" speech as it will be the BEST political speech ever given!!

Open your eyes   April 16th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

To everyone that thinks Hillary Clinton staying in the race is ruining the democratic party, perhaps you need to be reminded of what democracy is. Allowing everyone to vote. Hillary still has a lot of support and she is not going to quit the race, and it wont be what destroys the democratic party. If Senator Obama has a problem with attacks on his "record", and lack of substance in what he preaches, maybe it is him that will destroy the democratic party. And just because a white person doesnt want to vote for him, does NOT NOT NOT mean they are racist. I think the black people who attack other black people for supporting Clinton, they are the real racist.

Ummm   April 16th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Obama had a meeting today with the Jewish Community and He lied to them.

When Keith Olberman interview Obama about his comments. March 15, 2008 Keith asked him "Did you know that he made these statements before the videotape appeared?
Obama said "You know, frankly, I didn't. I wasn't in church during the time when the statements were made. Now, I think it's, Keith, important to point out that he's been preaching for 30 years. He is a man who was a former Marine who served this country, a biblical scholar, somebody who's spoken at theological schools all across the country, and is widely regarded as a preacher. That's the man I know. That's the person who was the pastor of this church.

I did not hear such incendiary language myself, personally, either in conversations with him or when I was in the pew. He always preached the social gospel and was sometimes controversial in the same way that many people who'd speak out on social issues are controversial.

But these particular statements that had been gathered are ones that I strongly objected to and strongly condemned. Had I heard them in church, I would have expressed that concern directly to Reverend Wright. So, I didn't familiar with these until RECENTLY.

Today 4/16/08 Wednesday Andrea Mitchell showed a clip of obama in a meeting with the Jewish community and a lady asked him "After you became aware of his (pastor) infammatory remarks did you ever discussed with him the tone and the content and if you can tell us what you said and whether your comments had any affect.

Obama said "I will be honest with you I did not become aware of it until I started running for president and at that point I had conversations with him In which I shared with him deep concern."

What a liar!!

I am really starting to believe that the only non-connected, Rich and famous voters who will support Hillary Clinton are the self proclaimed abused women of America who feel they have to hurt and destroy all who have not been a victim sometime in their life. Of course there are also the weak, fumbling, fearful and low self esteem men who will support her as well. And we must add the Rep. Geoff Davis types as well.

These are people who are just like Hillary and Bill Clinton. These types of people will abuse, lie, cheat, and steal in just about any form to get their fix for themselves. It seems, this is what happens to Americans who lose their jobs, homes, health care. They cling to these feelings for the rest of their lives and they teach them to their children. It’s no wonder so many American's are voting for Hillary and John McCain

Independent   April 16th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Hillary: The voter's dont matter; the delegates dont matter; the superdelegates dont matter; democracy doesnt matter! All that matters is that the Royal Clinton family regain power. Who is going to the next Vince Foster to get in the way of this "inevitability"?

What are the differences between Obama and Hillary? NOT ENOUGH TO WARRANT VOTING FOR MCBUSH IF YOUR CANDIDATE DOESNT GET OUR NOMINATION. You idiots who say if Barack/Hillary doesn't get the nomination then i am voting McBush need to realize something… the next four years will be decided out of spite? Honestly.. how dumb is that statement? We dems will give McBush the vote rather than unite behind a candidate WITH HARDLY ANY DIFFERENCE besides character issues. HILLARY AND BARACK stand for your values, they will push policy that is in your favor, yet you throw your vote to the complete opposite? Hell, lets vote another war monger who ADMITTED he doesn't understand much about our economics. Great Idea!!!!!!!!!!

HillyBilly   April 16th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Those NC super delegates are the smart ones. I hope others will follow their lead and support Obama so that the dems will wrap up this nomination and start preparing for the general election. It is unfortunate that Hilary's feeling of entitlement, selfishness and ego have blinded her to the point of destryoing the democratic party. I used to consider voting for her but now I see how mean spirited she is and very self centered too. Why would anyone want such a person for a president.
The fact that Bill was good enough to e president doesn't qualify her to become one too. She needs to cut it off and stop being in Obama's way.
Byeeeee Hilary, Byee Rodham.

I'm surprised CNN reported this with all their anti-Obama "journalism" in the past 2 weeks. CNN is the one that supports Hillary and her desperate attempts at painting Obama as an elitist. PLEASE!!!! She'll do anything to win. And CNN will continue to support her because they're too scared she'll start crying again and make them look like they're on Obama's side. This will probably not even make through moderation.

Obama support in Iowa   April 16th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

I agree Illinois. CNN and the Obama camp is trying to make it seem as if everybody "likes" and is for Obama with the hope that it will catch on. NOT! I still do not know what he stands for. For the media, this is about getting the Clintons, they do not have a clue about Obama because I still don't.

seah Ohio   April 16th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

OBAMA WAS A DIRTY POLITICIAN FROM THE VERY BEGINNING: From the Chicago Sun-Times — A close examination of Obama's first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: The man now running for president on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. One of the candidates he eliminated, long-shot contender Gha-is Askia, now says that Obama's petition challenges belied his image as a champion of the little guy and crusader for voter rights. "Why say you're for a new tomorrow, then do old-style Chicago politics to remove legitimate candidates?" Askia said. "He talks about honor and democracy, but what honor is there in getting rid of every other candidate so you can run scot-free? Why not let the people decide?" In a recent interview, Obama granted that "there's a legitimate argument to be made that you shouldn't create barriers to people getting on the ballot." But the unsparing legal tactics were justified, he said, by obvious flaws in his opponents' signature sheets. "To my mind, we were just abiding by the rules that had been set up," Obama recalled. Asked whether the district's primary voters were well-served by having only one candidate, Obama smiled and said: "I think they ended up with a very good state senator." Alice Palmer, a friend and mentor to Obama, served the district in the Illinois Senate for much of the 1990s. Decades earlier, she was working as a community organizer in the area when Obama was growing up in Hawaii and Indonesia. She risked her safe seat to run for Congress and touted Obama as a suitable successor, according to news accounts and interviews. But when Palmer got clobbered in that November 1995 special congressional race, her supporters asked Obama to fold his campaign so she could easily retain her state Senate seat. Obama not only refused to step aside for the woman who was his friend and had recommended him for the seat, he filed challenges that nullified Palmer's hastily gathered nominating petitions, forcing her to withdraw. "I liked Alice Palmer a lot. I thought she was a good public servant," Obama said. "It was very awkward. That part of it I wish had played out entirely differently." Had Palmer survived the petition challenge, Obama would have faced the daunting task of taking on an incumbent senator. Palmer's elimination marked the first of several fortuitous political moments in Obama's electoral success: He won the 2004 primary and general elections for U.S. Senate after tough challengers imploded when their messy divorce files were unsealed. "He wondered if we should knock everybody off the ballot. How would that look?" said Ronald Davis, the paid Obama campaign consultant whom Obama referred to as his "guru of petitions." In the end, Davis filed objections to all four of Obama's Democratic rivals at the candidate's behest. All other candidates were disposed of by Obama’s challenges. He then went on to win the election.

You can see the archives of the sun times

Obama has not changed much, Just he has more goons to do the dirty work for him.
•Obama holds fundraisers at law firms that lobby in Washington. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed the campaign held five fundraisers at New York and Boston offices of three firms that lobby, including Greenberg Traurig, whose lobbying clients include gambling and handgun interests.

Obamacounts lobbyists among his informal advisers, including Broderick Johnson, who heads the Washington lobbying practice of Bryan Cave, which represents Shell Oil, records show. Nine campaign staffers have been lobbyists, public records show. Johnson did not respond to requests for comment.

•Obama accepts money from spouses of federal lobbyists. In December, the campaign returned a $250 contribution from lobbyist Thomas Jensen of Sonnenschein, Nath & Rosenthal, but a few days later, it cashed a $500 check from his wife, Sarah, records show. Jensen said his wife had "personally chosen" to contribute to Obama.

•Obama accepts contributions and fundraising help from state lobbyists. Florida lobbyist Russell Klenet hosted a fundraiser for Obama Aug. 25, according to the St. Petersburg Times. Two months before, Klenet had withdrawn as a lobbyist in Washington for a kidney dialysis company that relies heavily on federal revenue, Senate records show. Klenet did not return phone calls.

•Obama is raising more than his opponents from executives of some of the corporate interests he criticizes. Obama has received more money from people who work at pharmaceutical and health product companies, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics. He's taken in $528,765 through February, compared with $506,001 for Clinton and $139,400 for McCain, despite saying last July that "I don't take pharma money."

Go OBAMA, Only you have idea of global competetion america is facing….

Seth   April 16th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

He already has the popular vote and the pledged delegates. But I bet once he has the super-delegates, Clinton WILL STILL stay in the race because she wants him to lose to McCain.

She knows she is going to lose. Her only hope now is to bash Obama and him lose to McCain so she can run in 2012. Would you put it past her? Is that the kind of person you want running the country – someone who is willing to let the country suffer just so she can eventually be in the White House again?

Illinois, Obama said he doesn't want Hillary to drop out of the race. How it is a scare tactic by his campaigns when two Superdelegates back him? Obama supports Hillary staying in the race and has said it several times. I guess stubborness to the point of destroying the party is a good thing in your mind . I don't understand your post.

RB   April 16th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Obviously this does make Clinton supporters a little antsy. I love how they down play when a super delegate backs Obama but when everyone put Murth on a high chair, you Clinton supporters all looked at him like he was the second coming and going to push Bilary over the top. How quickly your younges change or maybe, the "Misspoke" thing is just a Clinton thing that rubs off ;-)

OC - CA - cubanamericanwoman   April 16th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

New OBAMA supporter. Thought HRC was more intelligent and together than she's shown. Sorry ! HRC should have stuck to POSITIVE campaigning…Americans are SICK and TIRED and yes, BITTER, about the politics of the past!!! Hope a lesson has been learned…

YES WE CAN!!!

Maggie   April 16th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Remember Afghanistan?? They wanted change from the Taliban, and they sure got it. Hey Obamamanics, we saved Afghanistan from the Taliban, who will save you from Obama? Perhaps the church going, gun toting, bitter folks…

Bit, Alabama   April 16th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Even the superdelegates are tired of this mud slinging among the candidates and KNOW that they have to put a stop to it!

Thank you NC!

Game "almost" over!

lifelong democrats   April 16th, 2008 2:19 pm ET

Us lifelong democrats can not watch the antics of Obama any longer.

We believe in democracy and equality. We squirm when Obama and his supporters put down our fellow Americans and other candidates.

We did not vote for Bush because we did not then care for the brash, cocky arrogance of my way or no way.

Obama is even worse because he has so many faces and can spin lies into half truths.

The divisive uniter feeding us the hype of hope.

Thomas L. Davidson   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Come on PA, end this, so Obama and the Country can turn the total focus on MaCain, we must come together, with or without the Clintons.. So President Obama can get this country ,moving in the right direction. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

Anna   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Actually, Jack, the last time someone called a candidate too old to be president, Bob Dole lost in a landslide. Just saying.

I don't back David Price, who is my representative, but am glad he will be listening to his constituents and casting his vote for Obama!

nick   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

If Bruce back Obama, so do I!!!!!!!!
LOL
Hilary is so upset that she won't quit until she distroys Obama so he can't win!!!!
McCain vs. Obama will be a much nicer fight
and how is Hilary for the people when she is a 100 dollar millionare and lived in the white house for 8 years? We need someone to bring the world together, it's BARACK!

Patricia Harding   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

With the U.S. in such dire need of experienced leadership, how can anyone choose someone, albeit charismatic, who will be swamped by the Washington machine he rails against. I am sure that there is a Maze that has to be navigated to get anything done. Does he know the way?
As a Canadian, with American family, I would vote if I could for Hillary Clinton. I do not understand the vitroilic comments about her.
Do any of those who say these things KNOW her, or is it just what some person has said and they relay it all out of proportion.?

Jen DFW   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

ok the republicains want obama to win to its an easier win for them. watch cnn any night of the week and they are hoping its OBAMA that is the nominee…

Pam   April 16th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Jack said: McCain too old to be Prez? The last time someone said that, the guy ended up winning and being relected the next time ( Ronald Reagan).

Um, Jack…. That's all well and good, but if you remember Reagan had alzheimer's. It's a mental disease that often comes with old age. Come to think of it, that just might explain trickle-down economics…

GEORGE NOCON   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

go obama!!!! hillary you need to get out.

Chriss   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Her Royal Clintoness is still at it.

While she continues her "it's nobody unless it is me" campaign strategy, while knowing she will not be the nominee, she damages her prospects at a career other than senator from NY.

Already to those who thought she could be NY governor or anything else she may desire, she has now damaged herself beyond repair.

She will be remebered as the "Typhoid Mary" of politics that brought a third term for the McBushies and will never be considered for another prominent political position and will never garner adequate support to lauch another presidential bid.

The more negative HRC goes, the more negative her ratings go as she disgusts more and more people.

No wonder we are hearing more and more people coming out in support of Obama even though they wanted to wait until all primaries were over.

SURRENDER DOROTHY!

ShannonL   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Interesting…a couple of days ago a superdelegate goes decides to go with Clinton and it doesn't get mentioned.

Obama gets a couple and it is news.

Someone needs to tell CNN and MSNBC has already taken the position of Obama brown noser.

God save us   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

The hypocritical Obama and his hype of hope has convinced the naive that he is the rock star to save America.

But now his lies, his thuggery, his jeering and heckling and mocking and arrogance have come to light.

I hope it isn't too late to turn the nomination around before he destroys all chances of a Nov victory.

If not, then in Nov we will get a second chance to set things right.

No Obama- ever.

Nick - Arlington, VA   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Cheryl for Hillary:

Do us all a favor and stop with the caps and the dramatic versus that you put under each subject. You sound like the crazy person on the corner holding a sign that says "the end is near!!"….well it is…only thing is that the end is near for YOUR candidate.

If she is such a better candidate she would be winning, but she isn't. Many of her supporters seem to be self delusional and want to blame everyone but their candidate for losing. Look at the numbers, even when you add FL and MI – she is still losing.

Now if you, and those like you, are real democrats you will realize that they have pretty much the same exact agenda and if your thinking about cutting off your nose to spite your face by voting for McCain, who will continue the failed republican agenda albeit not as bad as Bush then you truly do not care about the future of the nation.

Stacy Clarks, TX   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO IS SMARTER THAN THE AVERAGE AMERICAN!!!

CAN YOU IMAGINE IS AN AVERAGE AMERICAN WAS PRESIDENT, WITH ALL THOSE IMPORTANT DECISIONS TO BE MADE?!?!? THE COUNTRY WILL GO TO HELL!!!

(wait a minute, that is what we have had for the past 8 years!!!)

I do not want a "C" student in the white house, I want an "A+" student, who was not handed his "A+", or his harvard law education, but had to fight the odds, to get it, so he worked even HARDER to get to the top!!!

THAT'S WHO I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT, SOMEONE WHO WILL WORK HARD, NO MATTER WHAT THE ODDS ARE AGAINST HIM!!!

OBAMA 0*!!!!!!

michele   April 16th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I am so sick of Hillary's pettiness, along with CNN regarding the bitter battle. What is the difference between bitter, angry, frustrated, annoyed, disgusted, and last, but not least, livid? All of these words are similiar, but has different meanings depending on how you use them. And Hillary is top dog when it comes to spinning the truth. What about her Bosnia (lie) she did not misspeak, she flat out lied. Thank God that Obama is a bigger man than she is a woman. Many times he could have made commercials about her lies, instead, he chooses the high road each time. Stay focus Obama! Don't let the crooked Clintons take you off your message. Change is doable and I believe that everyone now knows this. And for the idiots that keep trying to start something amongst the races, old folk like Geraldine Farraro and Bob Johnson, shame on both of you. You are way too old to behaving like you are 7, instead of 70.

walter tichana PA   April 16th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Thank u you super delegates from NC
Will not vote for Clinton because she did not come out clean she really had been asked about her experience with the Holly Spirit and she is drinking too much beer and crown on national TV… Way to go super delegates…..

Bonnie Pereira   April 16th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Who ever votes for Sen. Clinton is wasting their vote. She has no chance of winning. Only thing she can do is Destroy the demoratic Party.

Obama 08!

The Pain Train   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

The Pain Train is rolling! Let's see….You have a 20 point lead that fell like a stack of dominoes. Then you have to go to one of those states that don't count because they are not big enough. Maybe it’s because you will not win. If OB loses NC, which he will not, you can’t win by 15 points. Heck, you will not win PA by 20%.

I love this race! I live in a country where a black man can be called and elitist, a boy, RACIST, crooked, but when a black man says something against a woman’s morals, she cries and claims feminine bloody murder!!!!!

Funny!

Real_Democrat   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Good news, but let's not rub it in, okay?

I'm not real happy with Clinton right now either, but we need to unite the party (including current Clinton supporters) in order to keep paleocon McSame, and his lobbyist-loving, job exporting, hundred-years-of-war-having, Iran-bomb-bomb-bombing politics, out of the White House.

If Clinton wants to continue to do things that divide the party, we cannot stop her; all we can do is refrain from adding to the problem. Let Clinton go negative all she wants–we can't stop her, she's only hurting herself, and we need to focus on the real contest.

Democratic Nominee in '08

MD   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

When people write about Hillary staying in the race forever, I begin to doubt we ever recover as a nation. Hoping against hope is a Bush-era hallmark. Where did that get us?

It is clearly obvious that prejudice plays a major role in people's choice between Obama and Clinton. I think it is time to put the past behind us, and give ourselves a chance to move forward with a young, energetic, smart, articulate president in Obama.

Jen   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

ANY TIME OBAMA DOES OR SAY ANYTHING STUPID, THEY WILL LOOK FOR SOMEBODY TO ENDORSE HIM.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

GENDER IDENTIFICATION!

I would understand we share the same beliefs not the same gender.

R.O.B.   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

This is just another indication that Obama is going to win the nomination and then in November. I just hope that Hillary Clinton puts as much time into healing the Party after Obama gets the nomination as she is doing right now to divide us. It's bad when someone hates losing to the point that they'll stoop to all time lows to win.

And you votes of PA help us to end this nightmare. VOTE OBAMA

Mwananchi,

Nick in Las Vegas   April 16th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

I just have to wonder why so many Obama endorsements are posted as "news" but so many of Clinton's are not? Are Obama's supporters so blind to this BIAS that they don't understand what a media spin is an why Clinton supporters like myself are annoyed at CNN?? Congratulations to Senator Obama, I think that endorsements are pretty meaningless in general, however I would appreciate equally praise worthy news posted about Mrs. Clinton's campaign.

Jodie   April 16th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

It won't be too long before John Edwards joins the team.

Michelle   April 16th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Hillary's boat has been sinking for months. When all the Clintonistas realize that voting for McCain is retarded, Obama wins the presidency easily.

Eric-PA   April 16th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Rich   April 16th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Guess Clinton's slander against Obama isn't convincing the super delegates. Does anyone know if Obama has had any of his delegates have second thoughts and switch to Clinton? I know she's lost a few so I'm curious about this.

Maybe she'll start attacking Obama for being Muslim. This wouldn't be that much more of a leap than some of her other accusations.

Alex H   April 16th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I'd rather be offended by a president telling the truth…

… than comforted by a president telling a lie.

Isaac   April 16th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Yes this is good news for Obama and bad news for Clinton and her supporters like me. I'm still sick of the mean streak of his supporters though, and I think the SD's are making a huge mistake. I don't believe we will win the GE with Obama as our nominee, despite what all the pundits say.

I just wish all the superdelegates would wait til the actual voting is complete and then cast their votes.

Obama sheep   April 16th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

The sheep keep right on bleating the Obama praises… as he lies to them, mocks and ridicules them, hurls religious hatred at them, buys the election, jeers and heckles the other better opponents.

He has the playground kiddy and bully votes.

Pac and lobbyists DO support him.

The wealthy Elite from Kennedy, Kerry and Oprah DO fund him.

Agnes Landry   April 16th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I'm sure glad I am not a Clinton supporter.I would venture to say that the number of therapy sessions and antidepressants have really been on the rise as of late.

Come on Baby way to go! Here is thought: Take John Edwards as Vice President and you aren't only save for the Super Delegates, but also for the whole run to the White House.

enomisa   April 16th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

God Bless Hillary Clinton.

God is holding her in his embrace against all the hate.. because the people want her, love her and need her. She is here to fulfill a destiny of hope and change for ALL Americans.

The demogogue Obama can not fool all of the people.

God help the USA if Obama the sneering, jeering, mocking, cocky know-it all wins the nomination.

Cnn post my comments please!!

Realistic   April 16th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Hillary's critical superdelegate advantage continues to dwindle, what else is new?

Oh, yeah, new polls out that show that Hillary is UNELECTABLE in a general election because her negatives are so high.

If there is one thing that influences superdelegates, it is the idea that one candidate (here, Hillary) is unelectable, since the whole purpose of superdelegates was to keep the party from electing a candidate who is unelectable.

So her Tonya Harding strategy of kneecapping Barack having failed, just like it did for Tonya, the nation views Hillary in such a negative light that she probably couldn't be elected dogcatcher against an honest opponent.

Adrian from Bham   April 16th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

This is incredible. Finally, the supers are lining up. After Indiana, the storm will be over- and the DEMS will have their Nominee. The sad thing is, all she had to do was be herself and tell the truth. OOPS! TRUTH AND CLINTON? Oxymoron.

American Girl   April 16th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Smart people –
Hillary is the true Elitist trying to manipulate people that Barack is Elitist. His comments were mis-spoken with respect to "clinging to" and the use of bitter… but people are angry

when people are sad about their condition , they cry,
when people are mad abouth their condition and have Hope, they do something for themselves to change it…I.e. vote for true change

Congratulation to both Representatives. They have realized the country is shifting towards a new brand of politics, and give the American people hope. The too, like so many of us, have turned their backs on the Washington as usual politics!

JANE PA   April 16th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

May Hillary will drop out. I will never vote for her.
I used to be her support but she is very negative so I will not vote for her again.
I will vote for OBAMA
OBAMA 08!!
God bless you obama

Deb   April 16th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

At this point they are going to be handing the keys to the White House over to McCain.

As the national Polls from legitimate news organizations show Obama is the least likely candidate to win!

Vicky, GA   April 16th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Yes, Hillary is truth-challenged, but we won't hold that against her. She has lost, but doesn't know it yet, because she's having a senior silly season. She thinks the numbers are unrelated to her.

Angus, Obama is smarter than the average American. Why is this a problem? Why do Americans fear intelligent people? We have a president as smart as the average American, how has that worked for you? Brains over brawn is the answer. He is running for an important office, he should be highly intelligent.

Illinois   April 16th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Obama's camp is trying to make it look like "everyone" likes him best. Another scare tactic, perhaps?? Another bully maneuver to try to get Hillary to drop out of the race early?? The boys in the club are threatened. And the republican trolls are at it again.

Get it through your heads…..she WILL NOT drop out of this race just because you wave your wand and tell her to do so. She's a capable woman who will stand up to any bully. She is a FAR better candidate that Obama could ever hope to be. And he knows it, otherwise he wouldn't be feeling so threatened by her continued presence in the race.

MD   April 16th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Thank the Lord for a push to end this charade.

The Clintons have done enough damage to the Democratic Party to last decades. It is time to stand up to this money-grabbing family, and boot them out of politics.

The flood gates are open...   April 16th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

The bottom up politics are working. Come on Superduperdelegates, let's Barack the vote!

Jane T.   April 16th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Endorsements usually mean nothing except that the endorser believes he can benefit from backing the endorsee. And thus far, Senator Obama has a lead in NC. Spare us.

Jack   April 16th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Wow! I actually get to post a comment on CNN's website! Usually, after they have enough of what they want to see they shutdown submissions. Hmmm, let's see – The Boss backs Obama : No big surprise. They both have a hsitory of cocaine use, they both are treated as rock stars – no accountability, just adulation, and both speak in prose what they can not say in plain talk.

McCain too old to be Prez? The last time someone said that, the guy ended up winning and being relected the next time ( Ronald Reagan).

North Carolina politicians pandering to their constituants….shocking.

concerned08   April 16th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I'm curious….do we have Obama's 1997, 1998, and 1999 tax return yet? Just curious as to why we haven't seen them yet.

Why no mention of the Hillary endorsements she's received in the past few days? CNN is so biased and the American people are not as stupid as you think we are.

Hillary 08, if she is not the nominee I will be writing her name on the ballot and if that is not available I along with many other Hillary supporters will be voting for McCain.

Good. I hope other superdelegates will wise up and put an end to McClinton's republican campaign.

I guess the Bitter comments did not have the effect that Billary and Old School Mcain wanted. Its time out for "Silly Politics" and lets start talking about REAL ISSUES that mean something to the American people…Like if am going to have a job or maybe affordable healthcare if i get sick..Who cares what Obama said with the so called Bitter remark! That's all driven by the media/Hillary and Old School. Lets stay focus on the real issues that effect us as a nation. Way to go superdelegates! this will be over in a month tops!

enomisa   April 16th, 2008 2:00 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.

Gail, WA   April 16th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Dear Superdelegates,

This is America, we promise we won't bite if you don't select our choice. Just make a decision, it's the American way. Where are you, speak up and out–it's a great feeling.

Lisa in Canada   April 16th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

They are smart. Hopefully the others start coming out one by one. The whole world can see that HRC should not go back to the White House. Bill will be answering the phone for her.

Boyan from Los Angeles   April 16th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Just at a right time. I love it.
OBAMA time

he will still lose   April 16th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Obama has been a divisive sort of uniter- his political history supports that.

Obama does not care if his opponents in Fl and Mi get to vote. He took a stance against the constitution and hired his lawyers to block the re-vote.

He spins clergy-inspired (Radical Islam-like hate from the pulpit) hatred into some sort of sacred liberation theology. I grew up with liberation theology and his is not that.

He mocks and demeans other.

He campaigns by heckling and jeering his opponents for the highest office in the land.

If Obama is the democratic nominee- the party is DEAD

Juliet   April 16th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Whooooooo hoooooooooo. Keep em coming. Obama, Obama, Obama……………………………………this white ole hillbilly does love him and will vote for him

HEIDI   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

On behalf on the welcome committee…we welcome you and all others.

Special thanks to Mel Watts who is not waiting out like Edwards.

Steve B, NewYork. NY   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Is anybody backing Billary anymore ?
Ohh wait It must be media bias !
lol

"Move —–, Get out the way".(ludacris)

Chris Banner   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I agree with the two, and susan burgess would have been wiser by supporting Obama

Crystal CA   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Susan MO- Please stop. You are wrtitng hateful and ignorant words, that make you look like a loser. Your atrocity is quite alarming.

Drew, NV   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

I swear if any superdelegate waits until August they should be branded with a giant C on the chests for cowards.

Weigh in–what are you waiting for, another poll?

Jim Shimmer   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

We welcome that…

TO OTHER SUPERDELEGATES:

Lets not tear the party apart or stoop to any low to win like Billary. Maintain your integrity and choose the person who cares about us average americans and has the best judgement.

OBAMA 08!!

Teri   April 16th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Obama, the next President of the United States:)

vince - Phoenix - (forgive me cnn, for I have sinned)   April 16th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

l'll take 3 to 1 in endorsements, any day….

Crystal CA   April 16th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

The Super Delegates should wait until every state has its day before backing a candidate.

John, PA   April 16th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

THIS IS SHAPING OUT VERY WELL NOW!!

Neil, MD   April 16th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Good, where are the rest of the supers, hiding under sofas?

What is this? Weigh in, this is America, the land of the free, and the BRAVE, come out.

Bushwacked   April 16th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

And the flow continues…..in the right direction.

VOTE DEMOCRAT IN NOVEMBER!!

Eugene, OR

Think - FL   April 16th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Alright. Seriously now. Clinton needs to get over her ego and bow out. The math is impossible to overcome and it's only going to get worse. She's just hurting Barack for November at this point.

Her and Bill need to find some other way to repay all of the individuals and countries that were expecting her to be elected and hand back favors.

I'm actually starting to somewhat buy into the conspiracy theory that she might just be trying to ruin Barack to help McCain win so she can run again in 4 years. Too bad it won't work.

Sara from Arizona   April 16th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Good, keep them coming. Obama 08′

Madison , PA   April 16th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

All the way to PA. Go Obama… they attack you, you gain… Hillary be carefully… if you atta one more time Obama, you dead… Did you hear me?

Bill   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

It is great news. It's time for others to show leadership and come forward. Maybe we can get back to the issues.

Charlotte   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Joyce is a lobbist? When did they get to be superdelegates? Didn't Obama say he is against lobbist?

No Hillary   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Thanks you for your service to our Nation Reps David Price and Mel Watt. Now it is time for other Democratic Super delegates to come forward, endorse Obama and give an end to this destructive negative campagning. What are they waiting for?

sascha   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

It seems to me, that the Clinton attacks don't work…

Rose, NH   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Thank God, hopefully more supers will stop being cowards, and weigh in.

Weigh in already…tick tock.

David   April 16th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Come up superdelegates.
He is the right man.

bili   April 16th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

God bless all the good people of america,finally everybody is seening the truth.all the best obama

helen   April 16th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

25 Of 35 South Dakota Democratic State Legislators Endorse Obama

Set good examples for our children   April 16th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Being a father of two teenagers, I could never in a million years vote
for Hillary, because I would be contradicting what I have teached them in the past regarding LIES. Bold face public liers are dangerous.

kentucky   April 16th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Congrats. gentlemen, you have made a wise choice and the only choice that makes sense for a country that needs leadership not influences and paid for by foreign lobbyist.

Bitter in CA   April 16th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Yes we can!

Hundred Mill Hill needs to drop out

Caroline   April 16th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

that's funny…..Obama has 6, Clinton has 1. Oh well, North Carolina doesn't really matter anyway, right Hillary?

Kenneth M   April 16th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

THIS IS NUTS, POOR POOR HILLARY. SHA NA NA NA WELL YOU KNOW THE REST.

Steve   April 16th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Way to show some guts, gentlemen. I hope, no matter which of the two candidates the Superdelegates are considering backing, they come forward soon. It's time to get the nomination process completed, so the winner can concentrate on the general election.

I was for Clinton, but it has become apparent to me, after all the shenanigans, and the trainload of baggage she brings with her (including upcoming grand jury hearings) that the swiftboat tactics the Republicans used on Kerry will look like a tea party compared to what the Republicans will do to Clinton. You can bet your vote that they are digging into the past of both Obama and Clinton right now. Obama knew some unsavory characters. Clinton IS an unsavory character.
If, in the unlikely event that Clinton gets the nomination, expect 4 more years of Republican rule. They will destroy her.

Paula in WI   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Good,it's time for the superdelegates to speak up.Let's get our nominee and go after the Republicans.As long as the Dems are divided over a candidate Mcain can sit back and take a nap.

bizu   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

3 superdelegates today!

so what?   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Win the battle and lose the war.
Obama is all words… poof and he is dust.

Rose - Baltimore, MD   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

I need to sing. Praise God halleluyah, praise God Amen, Praise God Halleluyah, praise God Amen!

Raelee   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

I hope this is the start of the end.
The electio is takeing too long to get the Dem. choice.
Time for the supers to move…….remember its your party that you have to protect

Tracy   April 16th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Slowly But Steadily…

United we stand!

KK   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

NC Super delegates are all lining up for Obama but according to Clinton's Lies 100 NC women are lined up for her and that isn't th e truth! LIES & MORE LIES!

Last night on Larry King KIKI(Clinton Campaign Advisior) said that 100 PA Mayors were for Clinton but that also was a LIE – they were going to back Clinton but didn't show-up!

LIES & MORE LIES!

Slick Bill said that Indiana voters had "Bitter Signs" and he saw a lot of signs and "Bitter" Buttons – LIES & MORE LIES!

To qualify for Clinton's campaign you must be a GREAT LIAR!!!!!

April in Texas   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

WOOT!! I thank you for your support…. Go Obama….

Obama 08

honkey white guy from cali   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Oh I see the end is near for Sen Clinton thank god! I hope if she loses PA she has enough respect for herself to drop out even with a 15% win she still has no chance! To many lies no one trust her at all anymore but if she did somehow still the election. I would vote for here anyone before Mc Cain and that is were every democrat should be not this childish well if my candidate does not win then i am voting the other guy. I hope these people do that will make victory in November so much more sweet..

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can!!!!!

jimmy vekmen   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Neither Obama or Clinton will wraap up the nomination.
The super Delegates will decide and nobody will be satisfied with the results.

Matt in Georgia   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Bam!

More will come after the debate tonight. After Obama win the nomination over the "Republican" Hillary Clinton than he will take on "Independent" John McCain.

Jamaal Kansas   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

There we go keep coming supers even though you should have been rallied behing The Nominee

Norisha   April 16th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Super D's are doin a spectacular job of making the right choice…..

OBAMA 2008!!!!

Tampa Voter   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Buss a cap in Annie's azz Barack!! lol

Dave W.   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I think Hillarys and her campaigns negativity is starting to push people to Obama. If she would have let the bitter comment go after she mentioned it the first time she would have scored points instead of turning people off. Her supporter from BET didn't help her with his comments. Maybe he should have asked if Hillary would be where she is now if she was a white man. Would the people have put up with her misspeaks, Bill and Penns support of CAFTA, not disclosing earmark spending or contributors to Bills library, Peter Paul, or her past that is littered with scandals. I don't think so.

gary   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

IT DONT MEAN A THING. THE RACE ISN'T OVER UNTIL ITS OVER. THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL ABOUT O.B. THE SLICK CHICAGO CON MAN. THIS WORLD IS LOOKING TOWARD WORST DISTRUCTION. EVEN NOSTRADAMUS HAS PREDICTED THIS ELECTION. IF THE RIGHT ONE ISNT ELECTED ,WERE IN FOR A BIG FALL. GO HRC.

David   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Obama/ Clinton or Clinton/ Obama 08….. Make your choice Democrates, but support the party. Period

Tampa Voter   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Grif   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Desperation! It won't work…. When Hillary goe's so doe's the Democrat Party.. You messed up. Big Time, with Florida and Mich..

Julie   April 16th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Way to go Barack. Pile up those super delegates up and let see ho Hillary will attack again.

Robert in Toronto,ON   April 16th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

This just in: superdelegate Susan Burgess has changed her support to Barack Obama after realizing she was the only one at the Clinton table.

Alright Susan!

CB   April 16th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Now we are rolling. Come on Super-D's!

breanna   April 16th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Justin   April 16th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Can't stop the O Train now

Daniel from Kansas   April 16th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

juan   April 16th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

looks like things are winding up.

James, Pennsylvania   April 16th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Too bad you failed to write a glowing story on Hillary when she got the superdelegate support of former Pittsburgh Mayor Sophie Maslof in Pennsylvania last week. Maybe because she's Jewish and doesn't support your chosen radical, racist, Muslim supporting Barak Hussein Obama? Maybe because you will do anything to try and support Barak? Any McCain or Clinton supporter should boycott your programming! You people disgust me!

Florida For OBAMA   April 16th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

That's wonderful news!!!
Keep them coming, we need your support!!!

Say it with me
Y.E.S. W.E. C.A.N

CB in Florida   April 16th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Thank You-Reps. David Price and Mel Watt! Two more patriots supporting the people's choice! OBAMA "08″

Peter   April 16th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

This race is so over. Obama is cutting the superdelegate each week. The lead is down to around 25 delegates. Hillary needs several miracles to win this nomination.

PA Democrat   April 16th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

OUCH!!!!
Oh let me guess if I were a hillary supporter of twisted lies and dirty politics I would say:

'Oh please this is not important oh please.. 6 superdelegates.. oh please! Cnn why is this news'

Did I get it right?
LMFAO!

CHERYL FOR HILLARY   April 16th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Obama is a GODSEND   April 16th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Go Obama!

Angus McDugan   April 16th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Real news…
1. Hillary has issues with the truth.
2. Obama thinks he is smarter than the average American.
3. McCain will not sign a bill that does not start with "Back in my day."
