I would support Clinton in a heartbeat if she wins but i will surely support OBAMA." You are absolutly right. Stop this nonsense. "If Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I am voting for Mc Cain". this is worse than kids in an elementary school. THINK LIKE ADULTS. We have got brains to think, do not get overpowered by emotions and loose the country to the Republicans again. Whoever eins the nomination, vote for Hillary ar Obama.

I live in PA and I feel that Clinton should stay in the race until it is apparent that she is done!! I support Obama and to me Hillary is already done. The Clinton's don't care about America or you or me. They will BURN the village to win the war and that is what they are doing. If she would stick to the issues instead of negative adds she might not have a 54% untrustworthy rating among Americans. We have someone that is untrustworthy and negative why do we want for mor years of someone just like that? Obama for you and your Mama

I was willing all along to vote for whomever won the nomination, whether it be Hillary or Obama. The shear arrogance of Mr. Obama has been such a turn off for me that, I just won't vote at all if that man wins. It' pretty suprising just how many of my customers feel like I do. Maybe Mr. Obama should try being just a little humble, and to act like an adult, instead of giving the "finger " when speaking about Mrs. Clinton. I thought maybe I just mistook his not so nice gesture, but after watching that video over and over again, and watching the reaction from the audience, there is no doubt in my mind that he did exactly what I thought he did. He's not much of a "uniter" at least in my eyes.

It's time to join ranks Obama and Clinton supporters and take this country back from those out of touch Republicans.

Let Bush and McCain hire a private militia to fight in Iraq for a hundred years. After all they have wasted enough of our tax dollars and given the rest to their elitist friends.

These endorsements speak volumes about Obama's character.

Americans are more trusting of Obama than Hillary and her efforts to belittle Obama and the people of PA. On top of her immature accusations, she keeps digging it in as if she were beating a dead horse.

We need a president who values all Americans, who can stand tall despite criticisms instead of telling falsehoods

Another debate cannot undo Clinton's wrecking ball behavior.

Obama continues to attract great Americans to his team and will continue to draw additional credible advisors.

I heard another one from Ohio switched from Clinton to Obama. The other night Pat Buchanan made a statement which I found very interesting. He said if Obama wins Penn or even loses by a few points the Republicans are in trouble, he contends that everything that Clinton is throwing at him is what the Republicans will throw and if none of it sticks that means the people don't care about Wright and all the other issues.

c'mon everyone relax!! We all like both these candidates and we should respect the endorsement of all super delegates. I would support Clinton in a heartbeat if she wins but i will surely support OBAMA. We cant have it both ways. We say that super delegate should make up their mind and vote for who they feel is best and if he feels Sen. Obama i best we cant go after him b/c he wasn't loyal to Bill. Thats ridiculous smarten up guys, we complain bout every little thing between Hillary and Barrack while McCain is walking freely. Lets unite behind whoever wins and win in November.

Hey CNN, you posted a ticker article reporting that the McCain camp was accusing Obama of "reckless dishonesty" in the way he quoted McCain, but you didn't include the actual exact words said by McCain. Don't you think you ought to include that in the article, so readers could judge for themselves whether Obama had been dishonest? Now, here is EXACTLY what McCain said: "I think if you look at the overall record, and millions of jobs having been created, etcetera etcetera, you could make an argument that there's been great progress economically over that period of time." [meaning the period since George Bush took office] CNN, don't you think you ought to include this in the article about Obama's "reckless dishonesty" (according to the McCain camp)? I fail to see any dishonesty at all. Obama quoted McCain quite accurately.

PA voters Please take note and VOTE wisely and I mean please let Hillary abdicate (ha ha) by giving her opponent the vote. This way it will be better for her to bow out. I do not see her bowing out even if she loses PA primary, as she is a hard headed woman hell bent on getting her way.

Sorry – if Obama does, in fact, become the nominee, there is no way I will ever vote for him . . . he scares the heck out of me . . . I've tried to like him, but there's something about him I just can't overcome. We are in for a world of trouble with this one . . .

all in all a very impressive coup for obama to secure the backing of these 2 former senators.... neither of whom is by any stretch of the imagination a liberal.... Boren is moderate-conservative more on the conservative line, while as i recall, Nunn may be a bit more moderate.... both having tremendous national security credentials...all in all, a very good scoop for obama.....

I was reading through the comments and found a sign-off that I haven't seen in a while: "anyone but McCain '08". Its good to see that there are a few democrats with their heads about them to realize that the issues they are voting on may just be more important than the silly battle that is going on in the Democratic party right now. Hopefully when Senator Clinton finally drops out of the race, she will at least have the courage to do the right thing and encourage her supporters to back Obama in November. Because she will lose this democratic nomination. Everybody thought that Mike Huckabee was being ridiculous by remaining in the race as long as he did – but its just as mathematically impossible for Hillary to win the democratic nomination as it was for Huckabee to.

All aboard the train wreck named Obama. The tracks are being greased by Hillary and the McCain Patriots will shove it off the tracks in November.

I do hope he wins the nomination because Hispanics will not join the Barak trainwreck. We have our reasons. The big one is Patriotism.
The other one is loyalty to Hillary and Bill Clinton. That is why we called Bill Richardson a traitor to our community.

If Hillary Clinton a Patriotic American with years of service to our country does not get the nomination and this Anti-American newbie gets it, watch out for the stampede to John McCain.

Looks like Obama is a job creator. How many people has he offered to be on his advisory committees?

Vote for Hillary and she'll help build real job opportunities. For people that will do value-add work.

Not jobs advising a GWBush-alike newbie on how to do his job.

I don't understand why so many are saying that they'll vote Republican if "their" democratic candidate isn't nominated. Obama and Clinton are so much alike on the issues, it's almost a matter of aesthetics. You'd think that people would line up behind their democratic candidate due to their stances on political issues and ability to lead, not because of their personality, gender, or who makes the least gaffes. Obama or Hillary '08

Now is time for Edwards and Gore to endorse Hillary before is to late and all the REAL DEMOCRATS in this country move to another party or create a new one. 50% of Americans are affraid of Obama's plan or hidding ideas, everything is a mystery with him, and his supporters only vote for him because the way he talks. Gore and Edwards you are 2 of the top figures in the democratic party, please endorse Hillary TODAY.

Who cares about these two? Reich is old news. Why does CNN make such a fuss about these old, antiquated endorsers? There's no question if Obama is the nominee, that McCain is our next President. Obama cannot even handle tough questions in a debate, how is he going to handle world and domestic crises? And don't you get it, they (these 2 endorsers) were promised advisory roles in exchange for their endorsement---–GET REAL!!!!!!!!

Which Clinton is Running for Office?

Have you noticed that today Bill Clinton is campaigning in 6 places, while Hillary is doing so in 2 places. And on Saturday Bill Clinton is campaigning in 4 places and Hillary in 2. Obama is campainging in 3 places on Friday and 5 places on Saturday, and Michelle is campaigning on Friday? The schedule is on the ABC Website. Point is, which Clinton is really running? And, will it be the same in the White House regarding Trade policy, etc.?? These questions need to be raised. I wonder if former Clinton administrators are realizing this!

mar,

Hillary has taken lying to a new level. Why do you think that they asked for her papers and diary as first lady? Don't forget bringing peace to Ireland. That was a good one. Chararcter flaws you say? The fact that Hillary stayed with scoundrel Bill for decades tells me her character is lacking. If she had character she would not need to cling to his coat tails.
