 Hillary Clinton highlights differences with Barack Obama.
Hillary Clinton highlights differences with Barack Obama.

GREENVILLE, North Carolina (CNN) – Hillary Clinton went on a weekend offensive, aggressively highlighting her differences with Barack Obama to North Carolina and Indiana voters – accusing him of not supporting relief from high gas prices, saying his health care plan would leave 15 million people uninsured and telling crowds that Obama voted against stopping home foreclosures.

On Monday morning however, she struck a more conciliatory tone.

“We have some differences my opponent Sen. Obama and I, and those are perfectly legitimate. You know, no two people are alike, you can’t expect two people running for president to have exactly the same positions,” Clinton told supporters.

“Of course once we have a nominee we’re going to close ranks and have a unified party because the differences between us as Democrats pale in comparison to the differences we have with Sen. McCain and the Republicans,” she added.

Clinton still went after Obama for rejecting her gas tax holiday proposal but very lightly. Instead, the message was one of understanding that she and her advisors have been pushing in recent days.

“Let’s listen to what people are telling us. I don’t think folks in Washington listen enough. Because if we listened, we would hear this incredible cry – ‘Please, just pay attention to what’s going on in our lives.’ You know what, I don’t think they do but I don’t think they know half the time.”

Clinton spends Monday morning in North Carolina before heading back to Indianapolis where she will be through Tuesday night when the polls close in the May 6 contests.

Hilliary is playing the American people about the gas prices

Barry   May 5th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Clinton, not Obama, is the champion of empty populist rhetoric. Why is the mainstream media so biased in her favor? Do we want history books to record that the U.S. was ruled by family dynasties in our time? I don't!

Kel in Auburn, AL   May 5th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

If you won't listen to the economists that are telling you that the plan is a fluke, then we don't care that you are now pandering to make it look like you're listening to voters.

She's slipping, folks.

Hilda   May 5th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Mother Clinton is about to cry again, stay tuned for the tears. I love the back and forth, first I am tough as any man and now I need you to vote for me so let me find that gender card it is here somewhere in my purse.

Robert Brown   May 5th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

The question is not how Barak could sit in the pews of Trinity for twenty years listening to his pastor but how could Hillary stay married to that man and not be corrupted.

Ric   May 5th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Democrats for Mc Cain '08 ! Donate today! Support a true hero. Dont let the terrorists take the White House!! Democrats for Mc Cain '08

How come Obama never says, that he will support whoever the dem nominee will be?

Des,Toronto   May 5th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

What a lot of people missed in Clinton's obliterate Iran statement is not just how irrational and irresponsible it is, are the facts. Israel is the only nuclear nation in the middle east and not a member of the NNPT,Iran has no nuclear weapons and is a member of the NNPT. Israel has 7 miilon people, they do not need 10 years to destroy Iran because they have the means to do so now. Now tell me why a nation of 75 million people should not develop these weapons to have a balance in the area and to deter anyone from obliterating them? answer that question. That is why us Canadians aren't stupid…we don't fall for ginnicks and pandering.

Fed up with media   May 5th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

It is really sad that the media is reporting on flip flopping when they do the same thing. The role of media should be objective and not try to influence opinions. To me it makes your opinions and comments less credible because you are reporting YOUR views and not news that people can use to make their own decisions or form their own opinions.

We should all remember: "what you reep you shall sow"

lala   May 5th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

they have said it all.Hillary can go ahead and tell lies but she should not blaspheme the holy ghost.go back to the faith forum and you will hear her say"sometimes I feel the holyghost coming over me"what will hillary not say just to win. hillary you're so fake.

Simp FL   May 5th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Typical CNN broadcasting, you people are the worst reporting the real news I have ever seen. why not just call this the Hillary support network and that way we can be clear who all of you are behind, not that we need it clarified. Lou Dobbs and that Campbell are the worst. Lou needs to go for anger management he is nasty and such a awful entity. When he does interview Obama supporters, he hardly let them talk without openning his big fat mouth and interrupt. stop being so prejudice, report the facts not what you want to. Lets remember Hillary is lying on a daily basis but you people won't investigate that. What a stupid network you are,

SV   May 5th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I think CNN is pro Billary. You guys dont show all the drama these two do.

Lies Lies Lies from the word go. They should just act in movies.

Chas   May 5th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Clinton is nothing but tactics, tactics, and more tactics. No wonder so many people don't believe what she says.

Worried   May 5th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

It is now well established that the republican party prefer to withstand Senator Clinton because of her extraneous baggage than Senator Obama who the have little information on. This is why the republican conservative radio is urging its members to vote for Clinton.
In addition, the frenzied cable-news is playing double standards. They are more prone to broadcasting favorable news on Clinton and negative news on Obama.

I hope that the super delegates are aware of the republican strategies, and Clinton’s hypocrisy.

Alice   May 5th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Jodie   May 5th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Go Away. If you were elected president, I would leave this country.

Jean   May 5th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Go Hillary you are the one and only person for the job of president. Don't listen to those obama supporters. They live in lala land look who they support lol lol lol lol what a joker!!! He takes the cake. LIAR that's all he is. Jean for the next POTUS HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!

You were born for this position…. GO HILLARY!

We are behind you 110%

Anita in NC   May 5th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Without a doubt a vote for Obama tomorrow is a vote for McCain in November.

Moshe   May 5th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Obama should quit!!!

Hillary 2008 and 2012!

FEDUP   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Obama is a far left liberal who will throw anyone under the bus to win.

Gina   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

If it weren't for Obama, HILLARY WOULD BE WINNING! Somebody do something!

Candice   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

CNN, You do more negative stories about Sen, Obama, you consistently report on Hillary''s successes, you covered the
Bosnia lie for a few days, and the Wright story for the past two
weeks. just because this person was link to Obama,. a comment is made about that subject at least 4 times a day by your people.

Can it be that some of your commentators are afraid that the White House might have to welcome an African American President?

Baby B   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Look at all the BITTER Obama fans. All day all you do is post HATE!

You will be the ones dividing our party!!!

Don, Rochester, NY   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Hillary Clinton will say what she really wants to and CAN accomplish to put this country back on the right track. I commend her and cannot wait until she buries McCain in the fall and takes the keys to the WH from GWB. Incidentally, the Obama supporters on these comment pages seem extremely bitter and hateful. Could it be you all don't understand the message your candidate preaches? GO HILLARY!

Scared BY Hillary   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Look at her face. SCARRRRYYYYYYYYYYY!!
Power hungry and dictator of the future America if elected.
People wake up. Pick anybody but Hillary!!

FEDUP   May 5th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Obama is a far left liberal who will throw anyone under the bus to win.

Erik - Dallas, TX   May 5th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

People in IN and NC please do not fall for this "po wo is me" attitude she is dumping. This is the same trick that she plays just before each election to get sympathy votes. My goodness what will she not do? First she is just a little ol' women campaigning against all these men. Next, she is tough, strong, and a fighter. Next, stop picking on me. Next, I can take it as I am can do "everything". Next, I am too smart for any advisors. Next, I can, I am all things needed to solve "any" political issue. Next, next, next…

Please just stop! Really, just stop and address Clinton vs. Peter Paul.

Steve in Houston   May 5th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

This is what controlling people do to keep the "relationship" (whatever ti is) going. Scream, yell, fight, kick to get their way and then act nicey nicey so people think they are nice people.

Last minute deciders have gone her way the last few primaries so she knows today is her day to act like a calm, conciliatory leader so Obama's comments stand out as "negative" to the poor lady. What a sham.

I read a comment on another item that really was on point. We know that lower income,lower educated people vote Hillary and I was wondering why that would hold up, but this person said that lower-educated voters go for her because they can't see through the fog. Makes perfect sense. Very sad.

Danny, CO   May 5th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

I lost a lost of respect of HRC after she manufactured this Gax Tax holiday issue, I bring this up because nothing she says is viewed outside the shadow of this clear pandering rhetoric. It's a made up issue with the caviat that oil companies will pay the difference so she can say you are with America or against America. When she made these remarks to congress…. I presume to have seen a glimpse of how she plans to lead her presidency. Why has Rev. Wright gotten more attention than her bully tactics?

She saw that lying about NAFTA worked in Ohio, lying about Obama's ability to answer a phone worked in Texas (which by the way hasn't gone democrat in a long time in the general election). Now she takes that experience and applies it to future contests? Smart lady.

The only question is: Will people ignore the facts and listen to her lie that a "tax holiday" will provide major relief?

Conciliatory? That can be her catch phase just like Bush's was "decider".

Supported of Clinton: Do you answer yes to all the following questions? If so, please don't vote, you feed the broken politics that is rampant in America.

Who needs experts to make decisions?

Who needs the most votes to win?

Who needs logic instead of fear to win votes?

Who needs the truth when people believe anything they hear?

I disagree with Michelle Obama's earlier statements. Due to this election cycle and how the American public has responded. This is the first time in my adult life I am disgusted by America.

Logic '08

Beca   May 5th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

At least she says she will back Obama, calling him by his name. When Obama was asked in Meet The Press this past Sunday, he is so arrogant that instead of saying that he will back Senator Clinton, he said that if he is not the nominee he will back the "democrat nominee", like she does not have a name! Give me a break, talking about another "want to be" arrogant!

MJAMES   May 5th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

The more she pulls stuff like this the closer she gets to losing half the democratic party. If she gets the nomination I will leave the democratic party because they gave it to a severe liar, fraud, dishonest, untrustworthy, politician. The good news is she will lose to McCain big time because people like me woudl NEVER vote for her after teh way she has campaigned. Once she loses she gets to stay a senator and just go away. I really don't understand people that actually believe this woman.

SUE, Michigan   May 5th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

To the folks who think career criminal and constant liar Peter Paul is going to bring Hillary down, I suggest you go to Wikipedia's discussion of these things, and stay away from his site, which is full of lies. Had any of this been true, you can bet the mainstream media (not to mention the Republicans and Obama) would be all over it. It is not true! It is also kind of interesting to read about a man who has been in jail twice already, is under indictment , and has a myriad of criminal behaviors in his background. Yet you want to believe HIM because you hate the Clintons so much. Sad.

Continue to be the champion and role model that you truly are!

Clintons are good at it. Unfortunately people seem to beleive it.

Wake Up! Vote for Obama

Dale in VA   May 5th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

….Aagian , i think one should read Glenn Becks article on the from page of CNN. Why did he wait so long , he knew 10 -20 years ago what he knows now with rev wright, and why the speech in Pennsylvania then dismiss Rev wright a few days ago……….

Go Hillary!!!!

MCD   May 5th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Playing nice, just trying to get some of those votes back that have figured out she is a neocon all in it for herself… right.

Of course CNN will spin the article like she is christlike.

Turner   May 5th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Hillary was raised by Republicans, She was a Nixon supporter in her youth.

Pandering is what they do best.

Clinton/McCain 2008

With Clinton's testicular fortitude and McCains reckless abandon, I am sure that together they could obliterate the world.

CNN = Clinton News Network

GO OBAMA 08′ !!

Third World Observer   May 5th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

Sen. Hillary Clinton is a politican by all means. You have to be a well informed voter to understand whether what she is saying have any truth to it or not. That is one of the reason why she is doing very well among certain groups of people.

American learn your politics and the politicans who play the game.
It is sad to see how many of you fall for a fast talker, play touch even when it is not necessary and lie with a striaght face.

George w. Bush was a touch talker, and many of you thought he was the best guy for the job; for the simply reason he was touch talker than Kerry. Now, look at what touch talk did. Created many enemies around the world, created war that they don't know how to stop it , and Many american are suffering as a result of it.

America get involve in your government, and understand who is doing and deciding what? and why?

dwho   May 5th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is up for the catch. She wants to catch the votes of voters. She would say anything to catch the American people in her trickery. At one point she disagreed with Barack. At another point they have legitimate similarities of policies.
mind games, mind games, and mind games. She playing with the minds fo Voters.

laura   May 5th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Hey CNN, Obama got another superdelegate today!

White/female/age 55/Texan   May 5th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

How come she always turns from a "fighter" to a "kitty cat" the day before the election? What no tears? She is so calulating and manipulative. Yeash! Indiana is this really what you want?

Hillary, you can go down slow, or fast, it is entirely up to you, but you are finished.

Vig   May 5th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Look, if you want to nominate someone who is about words, words, words, who is continually mentally pausing, thinking, pausing, thinking, reacting instead of acting, while Rome burns, then vote Obama. A big mistake. This man is an intellectual. We need a kick butt in the Oval Office, not someone who is going to ruminate all day long. Go HIlary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cowboy Politics...   May 5th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

CNN, I think you are pushing Clinton on us today so you can continue covering this fiasco of a Democratic primary. If she wins both states, me thinks your staff will be elated.

No matter, the majority of the public is aware, awake, and alert. Even Stevie Wonder can see you antics…

Hillary Isn't Trustworthy

Damion K. Miles   May 5th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Well, for anybody who wishes to talk about our candidate's pastors – shouldn't we also look at Mrs. Clinton's former pastor. He is none other than the Rev. William Procanick a convicted child molestor. He was convicted this year of child molestation and no one is saying a word. I would rather deal with a racist who is up front about it than to deal with a man who would molest a 7yr old little girl. Does the fact that he's a child molestort make Hillary a molestor? No it doesn't. Does the fact that Rev. Wright "appears" to be racist make Barack a racist? Absolutely not. Look in your own backyard, Hillary, before you look in other people's.

proud army and navy mom   May 5th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

the two faces of hillary. this lady has personality problems.

Jane, NC   May 5th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Sen. Clinton has been held to a higher standard throughout this race. And indeed, she has raised the level of debate and authenticity in the contest. We have a rare window of oppotunity to elect a woman who would probably be the most capable president we've ever had in the White House. Sen. Obama ran too soon. He is not yet ready to deal with the serious problems now facing our country.

Terry in New York   May 5th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Reagrding her Gas tax holiday or wghatever she calls it. I call it too little to late.
Quite honestly what little that will save me hardly equals a $100 over the length of the holiday and I drive 50 miles a day to work in a full size V* pick up. .Weekly I'll see barley $7.00 now talk about out of touch? From a people worth over $100,000,000. to say they understand my needs and how much this extra $7 a week will do for me is an insult then add even more insult when her and Bill say they're both on the same level and me and my 75K per year income. I'm lucky to have $10k in the bank and she tells me she understand and can relate to me? B…S…. Come one America let's send her and Bill a message back and send them packing back to Arkansas.

Hanna from Macon , Georgia   May 5th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Ther are many sincere Americans who are alarmed at the growing overt criticism of Obama by the media in what can only be perceived as racially fuelled media coverage. CNN have become so comfortable in their misrepresentation of Obama that they no longer care how blatantly they misrepresent facts on their website.
As a white elderly lady, i am so proud of Obama, he does not say what we want to hear, but what he believes is right for our nation. I believe that the time has come for the media to really take a good look at themselves….. and remember that being a journalis or an anchor person use to mean something positive in the eyes of the viewer…..what has happened to the professional?

Charlene - white, 67, retired professional, Cradle Catholic   May 5th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

If Billary steals the nomination away from Barack I will vote for McCain.

CNN you are not being fair with the Senator Obama coverage. I am switching newscasts.

We keep hearing that Billary is in touch with the people; does that translate that the people like liars? I am sooo tired of this process.

Well, well, well ;)   May 5th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

Well, CNN? what about this viewer's commet?

Still no mention of Kalyn Free, superdelegate and member of the Choctaw Indian Nation endorsement of Senator Obama today. Just an article about how concillatory Hillary is.

Why are you so PRO Hillary? Bought and paid for perhaps?

Emmaddy   May 5th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

If Obama were truly the one who could unite people, would the race be where it is today? If he can't even get the Dems together, how in the heck will he cross the aisle as the Pres. and get the Republicans to side with him?

Lonny, Seattle   May 5th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

I get it….
Try to make yourself look like an angel right before voting day. I guess you hope everyone will think of that personality instead of the one that has been attacking Obama over the weeks.
I will never understand why anyone in would want her to lead this country. She is unbelievably political in everything she does.
So fake…everything she does is calculated to get inside peoples heads instead of their hearts. its all just mind tricks…
Sad…

Chad   May 5th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

What is up with all these Hillary stories… ENOUGH already. She must have you guys in the bank for her now. You guys are starting to sound like FOXNEWS. (Unfair and Tilted). This Election was over about three weeks ago but you guys act like she still in it.

NEVER HILLARY 08

World Angel   May 5th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Why is it that Clinton is always talking about re-uniting the DEM Party whether she win or lose, but Obama has never made that statement, is it because He's 100% positvie that he will win?

Wayne   May 5th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

If Obama wins one state this race is over. After tomorrow there will not be enough delegates left for Hill to take the lead. So then we have to ask why is she running? To bash the nominee? What would be the point of the remaining contests if Obama's lead after Tuesday in insurmountable?

Franky   May 5th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

For the record Hillary, NONE of the candidates have a good health care plan, O.K? Second, as for the gax tax holiday…………..I don't even wanna bring that up.

Fed Up With Hillary, Little Rock, AR   May 5th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

I am sick and tired of Hillary acting like a mean, vengeful attack dog, but wait one day before the election and suddenly acts like a soft, purring kitten. I hope the good people of Indiana and North Carolina don't fall for her lies, tricks and games, because that is exactly what it is. We have had enough of Bushes and Clintons.

The Clintons should get a $109 million tax bill for what their tactics are costing our country's future.

Keisha - Atlanta, GA   May 5th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Hillary will say and do anything to win! Please don't fall for it!!! She is doing what she has always done but karma is one hell of a thing and it WILL come back on her… She is doing a real number on splitting the democratic party and this will only hurt us in November.

Dave   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

That's like putting a band-aid on cancer. She's torn the party apart through her endless, scorched-earth campaign (when she never was even remotely electable in the general election to begin with) and now she's trying to talk "unity." Like anyone will believe her after all she's done, endorsing McCain over Obama, etc. The cynicism of the Clintons towards the public is astronomical. They think we're really stupid.

The fact that she's losing this race proves she's wrong about that…

Kathryn Irby - Metairie, LA   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Oh, certainly! If and when she thinks she has had her way!!!

TWaid   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

That's the smartest thing she's said in weeks. I'm for Obama, but will support whoever is the nominee and hopefully Clinton supporters will do the same.

Belle   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

PS
MisLEADING Senator Clinton's Gas Tax Holiday…..she is paying for it by taxing the OIL companies!!!! So…no jobs will be lost….so give it up on stretching the TRUTH!

Bryan   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

I give her credit. She knows how to play the game. Why do so many buy into it all?

Think of how stupid the average person is. When you realize that half of the people in th world are dumber than that person, you begin to realize why so many buy her lies and ploys.

Then you look at who her base is and it is the uneducated lunch pail workers. Hmmm…

The future can look very bleak without HOPE.

Julie   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

I see Obamas camp of hate are out in full force today!
Maybe we all need to read Glenn Becks article, then go to real clear politics, read all the pro and con on your candidates,

Hillary for President!!!!!

Terry   May 5th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Obama just can't seem to think of anything else beside "A Change You Can Count On".. It's more like "No Change You Can Count On" because he is unelectable in the Presidential Election. He is an empty box with wrapping paper, nothing more. Add Michigan and Florida, Indiana, and Hillary chipping away at Obama's lead in NC in addition to the other primaries and Hillary for the win. Stop drinking Obama's Koolaid. You need to have ideas and plans on how to make things change happens besides giving fluffy speeches.

Hillary 08!

This only means she'll be meaner than a skinned cat from here on out. We're just so honored, Hillary, so honored to have your
oh-so-familiar, fake and pandering conciliatory Sybil-like gesturing this late in the game … again.

There is nothing "perfectly legitimate" in fabricating a false story about running through sniper fire, and then repeating it over and over.

Glad to hear Hillary saying "on record' that she will support the Democratic nominee…i.e. Barack Obama !

Obama is the ONE willing to do or say anything to win….and throw Wright, a "man that I could not disown any more than my own grandmother." (Except if you personally insult me, of course…forget about insulting voters)

If you really look at the Democratic Race….Obama has contradicted himself so many times, a voter does not know WHAT to believe….forget that he DOWN RIGHT lied as well.

Too bad he did not follow Hillary's cue in apologizing and asking the voters to forgive her!

She certainly has more moxie than Obama! We need her in the White House….

Don't forget….Obama SAID INDIANA WAS THE TIE BREAKER! (Or will you try to spin that one as well if you lose!)

rw md   May 5th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

She is being presidential, something he know's nothing about.
He'll come out with more negative commercials and people say
they trust him more when he's the one who started the negative
campaigning in the beginning.

I would hardly call this "jumping" into the lead. If anything she is jumping out of the race! Cheap gag fixes will not help in the long term and are worthless in the short term.
Pandering big time from HRC. She is full of lies.

John, NC   May 5th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Hillary talks like all she has to do to get things done is snap her fingers She should be saying she will propose these things. Most will require acts of Congress. That becomes a horse of a different color. It is unlikely that very much of what she is promising would become law.

steve dumford, Scotts valley ca.   May 5th, 2008 12:34 pm ET

Obama supporers have got to be the nastiest most vile people on the planet. Even when Hillary says we have to unite behind the eventual nominee, they crawl out of their slimy swamps to hurl nasty insults at her. Keep track of what Obama supporters are like, people. If these are the kinds of people the man attracts it says alot about the man himself.

HILLARY WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT   May 5th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

HILLARY IS SMART AND FAIR SHE WILL DO WHAT SHE HAS TO PUT A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

SHE HAS PROVEN OVER TIME THAT SHE IS THE SUPERIOR CANDIDATE WITH HER SOLUTIONS RIGHT NOW!!!!!

I TRUST HER!!!!!!

SHE CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER AND SHE GETS MY VOTE!!!!!!!

lewc   May 5th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

I am truely exhausted with the bitter comments ( which are) comming from both directions of supporters. We MUST at some point realize that a win is a win (Hillary or Barack) and that the ultimate goal is to defeat the republican party in November…that being said…lets start trying to be more civil in our comments please. This does not have to a dog fight within the democratic party.

We must unite in order to defeat!!!

To All,
When will she stop her whining, crying, and spouting the pitiful oratory?
I'm a 55 year old white guy voting for Obama.
I won't vote McCain, he is a war monger, plain and simple.
Hillary is counting on getting all the easily swayed, (tell them what they want to here), but leave out how your going to get it done.
I only have a High School diploma and I can see the obvious.
Must be an elitist?
I always thought I would Democrat in the general election, not any more. If Hillary is chosen, not by vote but by insiders, I for one will not vote at all.

Edmund, CA   May 5th, 2008 12:33 pm ET

Hillary's gas tax break is a joke. This is another gimmick from Hillary in attempts to get more votes that she desperately needs.

Hmm.. interesting… Saying the experts don't know what they are talking about about you touting a 30-50 dollar savings while your opponent wants to tax oil companies and create a 1,000 dollar tax credit… Hmmm… 30 dollars vs. 1,000 dollars. That is a hard choice.

I am sorry, but any possibility for my vote in favor of Clinton ended when I heard the words nuclear and obliterate come out of her mouth. If the American people want her as president, then I guess we must be prepared for her to nuke someone… WW3 anyone? She is as stubborn and selfish as Bush.

Walter, Long Beach   May 5th, 2008 12:32 pm ET

The venality of some of these comments is really shocking. I hope that they aren't representative of the Obama campaign's real supporters. I hope that they are Republicans pretending to be Obama backers.

You guessed it:

Vote for Obama!

kvsmith in FL   May 5th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

It's all about you Hillary! Win at all cost! It's not about the American people, it's all about you. It's not about the unimportant people in the unimportant people, it's all about the people in battle ground states! The only reason she cares at all about Indiana or North Carolina is because he disregard for the other states of that size has come to haunt her. If she really cared about all Americans, she would have been compaining feverishly throughout this election cycle and not depending on her husband's popularity in "battle ground" states to carry her to the nomination. She will say or do anything at this point, but too much, too late! Obama '08

Carolyn   May 5th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Why people so AFRAID TO HAVE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT. Come on people please get out that comfort zone. We need change in Washington. Ms Clinton DO NOT present change. She is only "LIB" service. She lies and I can't believe people are falling for it

bernie   May 5th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

you people sound like you are in third grade with all your petty personal attacks.check his
background before you try to be funny with some of your remarks.obama pushed for a gas tax holiday when he was a state senator.now he is against it why?he is an empty suit with out any solutions.i guess if he was a sargent in the army and the general died you would make him a general.in over his head.

Maggie VT   May 5th, 2008 12:30 pm ET

The votes in ID have serious problems, especially where Obama is expected to win. I read it on his website and Huffington Post.

Israel slapped Hillary's hands for saying she would oblierate Iran. The reported said they don't need Hillary.

The oil went up $120 a barrel today. It appears to me they made the case for Obama. Probably heard about Clinton and her plan and decided to up the oil

But she is experienced.

Amazing that FINALLY Clinton is getting some FAIR reporting from CNN, and they are not drooling all over Obama, and all the Obama supporters are calling CNN "Clinton News Network." Where were you from last October to this past February????? If you are going to say CNN is biased AGAINST Obama, I suggest you visit the CNN archives. All winter I was complaining about the obvious bias FOR Obama on CNN and all other news networks. None of the networks were doing any vetting of Obama at all. (except FOX). Most comments about Hillary were negative and berating. Everything Obama did got headlines and accolades.

If you want us to think you are the "educated, high-income supporters" you should be projecting yourselves as such. Whinning does not become you.

Someone needs to remind her that as President, she will have to listen to and work with experts. Imagine the gridlock wasteful bickering that will be going on in that administration.

Go home Hillary. Put the country before yourself, for once!!

How can anyone vote for Obama when just a few short weeks ago he talked of the good times he has had with Wright and how he was like a close family member and now says he did not know him that well. This business of him saying he has denounced the pastor is a lot of b.s. He is saying one thing and meaning another only to get the vote and then watch out, he is also comes across as being someone who thinks he is better than others. I hope everyone looks long and hard at this fact.

Sharon   May 5th, 2008 12:27 pm ET

It's funny how many Obama supporters are so angry and calling CNN biased for the way they word their stories and use the polls….If you all could take a minute and look at 90% of the previous stories going back to January….the same thing was happening to her…never covering her endorsements, calling poll numbers one way to make it sound bad for her, using unflattering photos, insulting Bill over and over……why do you think sooooo many Hillary supporters have been crying bias for soooo long? If you don't believe me, go to the sites like Center for Media Fairness (I may have the name wrong)…

It doesn't feel good, does it? We all, as voters, come here to see the political news of the day, and everywhere you look it's negative for your candidate….Hillary supporters have been experiencing this for so long….too bad the media couldn't have just been "middle of the road" for BOTH of them since January….maybe we all wouldn't be so negative now. :)

You've got to be kidding me. I am a stay at home Mom and everytime I have tuned into CNN over the past hour, all I have seen is Senator Clinton Live. Is today going to be the "Hillary Show" for CNN. Her tone is anything put pleasant. Today is a crucial day prior to two crucial primaries, and I would hope that CNN would do the job that is expected of them and provide "Fair and Balanced" coverage of the candidates. This means more than coverage of Reverend Wright.

INDIANA   May 5th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

Why doen't Obama do something for the people who have voted for him? Because he is out of touch with Americans and the gas tax is just one more example of that.

North Carolina, together we can break the deadlock and give the Dems a winner in November!

Let's vote for Hillary our next President!!!

Take your Tax Plan and your rhetoric and try to deliver on your NY Senate promises, (200,000 jobs for the state of New York. Reality; -30,000 jobs for the state of new York.)

Bishop T.D.

If we do not, we will have done a terrible disservice to our coming generations". Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity's monotonous Rev Wright conversations are getting in the way of covering the real election issues and reporting other national and international news stories viewers need to be informed about.

scott   May 5th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

If HiLIARy were to take the nomination — the Dems. will lose the election.

And they would deserve to.

SPQR753   May 5th, 2008 12:26 pm ET

What Hillary failed to mention is that Sen. OBAMA, HAS NO FIRE IN THE BELLY…..

Without that ability, IF he will ever be elected President, how will difficult decisions be taken? By consulting Michelle? By calling one of his advisers? Throwing a coin? By consulting his Horoscope?

Frankly, the Clinton Gang is already responsible for ruining the Democrat party. GWB is President as a result of BC's horrible behavior in the WH (with 21 yr old Intern)….. Enough is enough. Time for real Democrats to take back the party, and send these two horrible two faced phonies packing back to Arkansas, or is it now New York, or is it Illinois….. oh wait, she grew up in Penn….. Oh well, carpet baggers are from wherever they land….

Go Obama — real hope, real change!

rj   May 5th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

It's very frustrating to me how the media plays a role in this primary. No reports are out regarding how New York is a mess financially, etc. and of the court hearing that is going on with the Clintons. The republicans are doing a great job with psychology on the people. The George S. debate should never have taken place due to him working for the Clintons way back. It was clear that that was the turning point for Obama. It was also clear who George was for and it came out during the questioning. How sad. I really feel Obama had a chance. Clintons pay everybody including the reporters!

Wayne NH   May 5th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

She is sounding more and more like a republican each day? What's next if she wins ? A Clinton / Romney ticket?

We now know the TRUTH   May 5th, 2008 12:24 pm ET

The ONLY reason Hillary is saying this now is because she has put herself into a corner and can’t get out. She has done this before. PLUS its beginning to be another Sniper Fire incident.
WE NOW KNOW THE TRUTH: Hillary was against this gas tax gimmick when her rival Lazio proposed it before herduring her senate campaign. Now th

Bill Clinton opposed it. Governor Easley opposed it.

EXPERTS oppose it.

Conservationists are appalled by the notion of this gas tax gimmick

Obama has this right.

John, Brooklyn, NY   May 5th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

Frankly, her conciliatory tone is a case of "too little, too late". She has done, perhaps, irreparable damage to the political viability of Barak Obama. In the process she has not increased her chances of becoming the Democratic nominee one iota.

If, in fact, Hillary Clinton's "scorched earth" campaign results in the defeat of Obama in the Fall, we New Yorkers should actively begin to find a new junior senator!

Bob of VT   May 5th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

We all know that Hillary will say or do anything she thinks will gain her votes. She can still fool people into thinking she is for them and has no guilty conscious when it comes to lying, or as she would put it…misspeaking. You will never be able to believe anything she says. i predict she will rival Geaorge Bush as the worse Presidential in history.

Lori   May 5th, 2008 12:23 pm ET

I can't believe the polls you are quoting for Indiana. After all this time and so many lies, there are still people out there who actually are going to vote for HRC? To the extent that she will win that primary? Don't people in Indiana read the paper or watch the news? Her speech in Valpraiso, about how it was Bush's fault that all those people lost their jobs there, for example. It was Clinton that was in office and he was the one who supported the Chinese and the whole deal that caused those job losses. Does she think those people don't know this? And Chelsea was jogging around the WTC on 9/11, and they all used to work in a factory, and she was shot at by snipers, and she's for & nowagainst the war/nafta/illegals getting drivers licenses ETC, Is it because CNN never mentions those things and only harps about Rev Wright or what? I just don't get it.

Kathy Ferguson   May 5th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Too little, too late, Senator Clinton. You can't slam one day and make nice the next. I hope voters aren't that stupid. Why hasn't CNN put on Senator Obama's new superdelegate this morning? You guys crack me up. I do check your website but gave up watching your station a few weeks ago. Keep up the biased reporting and watch the demise of 24/7 news channels when people turn to the Internet instead to get their news. Your coverage of the Rev. Wright issue and lack of coverage of other important issues has been deplorable. Shame on you.

Jray   May 5th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

America wake up and check the facts here is a list of the issue that American feel most.

Economy – Clinton supported NAFTA which caused jobs to go over seas.

The WAR – Clinton voted for the war which has cause 4,000+ lives and 30,000 more injured, and a price tag in the trillions. She also want to Obliterate IRAN another war

HealthCare – She failed to get Universal HC in the past because she refuse to work with Democrats and republicans. Shewill also garnish your wages if you don't except HC

Energy Policy – Gas tax Holiday which everyone knows is bogus $.18 a day if I gas up alot and that will drive the price up higher that it is today when the tax is re-instated

Come on America this is not a person who you want running the country after all her own campaign is in the red how can we expect her to run the country?

Sharon   May 5th, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Some of your Obama supporters are really sickening. You are blaming Obama's problems on Clinton. She did not tell Obama to stay in that church for 20 years and listen to his pastor preaching such hate so why blame his stupidity on her. He should be blamed for not having better judgement to see that this would hurt him. The only reason he denounced his pastor is because he feels that he would not be the nominee for the democrats and not because he feels that his pastor was saying something wrong. This was done only to get him your votes not because he really means it.. Obama is really selfish and is only thinking of himself. So if you voters think he is looking out for you, think again. Obama wants to be the first black president so badly he will do anything to get it. Such a person is not needed as president. Clinton is the better and stronger candidate and should be elected the nominee.

Venus   May 5th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

He doesn't have a clue!!!

GO Hillary!!

Observations   May 5th, 2008 12:21 pm ET

Oil companies paying gas tax = No change in transportation construction or repair with no loss of jobs.

Oil companies paying gas tax = Lower gas prices because they'll drop prices to lower their tax payements on our behalf.

Lower gas prices w/ no taxes = cash in YOUR pocket.

Lower gas prices w/ no taxes = less cost for truckers.

Less cost for truckers = lower cost for goods = more CASH in YOUR pocket.

Obama dismisses this plan, yet, gives no solution of his own. What's up with that?

mk   May 5th, 2008 12:20 pm ET

I've said all along. A vote for Hillary in the primaries is a solid vote for McCain in the election. Motivation to vote for in the election for her will not be there. The party will be sharply divided and unhealed as a result of her character. This is clearly not the type of person that could ever unite anything, much less the country. McCain will be the clear winner. Think hard about your vote. A vote for Hillary is a wasted vote.

Realize this: if people knows about real Obama today than before all the primaries and caucuses, he wouldn't have more pledged delegates than Hilallary. He lied and hided from his past until he got caught. He should be ashamed and got out of the race. He is to blame for the delay of the nomination. Shame on him.

SUPPORTERS AND CLINTON HATERS HAVE NO RESPECT AND ARE TO LOW IN MORTALITY TO REALIZE HOW GREAT WE HAD IT WITH A CLINTON OFFICE. HRC WILL EVEN BE BETTER FOR OUR COUNTRY NOW FOR THE PROBLEMS WE FACE. HRC HAS THE KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE ,NOT JUST ALL TALK LIKE O.B. GO HRC.

I have Bush/Clinton fatique. Hillary has proven that she's willing to destroy the party for her own ambition. We need someone who is not a Washinton insider. Someone who has the wisdom to surround himself with the best people, not just people who are owed positions. Wake up America….Barack Obama is the future. Hillary is the past.

Anyone who claims that Hillary Clinton is a racist is way off. She been involved with the black community for years. It is understandable that the black community goes for Obama but if she is the nominee the black leaders should remember who was there for them from the get go.

Chic   May 5th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

She's in her comfort zone (ATTACKING)

Bones   May 5th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

I don't trust Obama at all. Hillary at least has experience and I hope to God, that everyone stops hailing Obama as the voice of "change". He is so not ready to be President. Go Hillary.

enoch needles   May 5th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

No 2 people are alike.

If Clinton gets the nomination, Obama has already said he'll campaign for her and other democrats to beat McCain. I have no doubt that when Obama gets the nomination, both Clintons will campaign for Obama the way Bob Dole campaigned for Elizabeth. Remember President Elizabeth?

Then, they'll yell and scream "we told you so" to anyone with a big enough check to pay for their speaking engagements,

The sooner the Clintons head off into the sunset, the better for America.

sophia nyc   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Not only do I not want her as my President, but I don't want her as my Senator either.

Jack Robertson   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

The Clinton News Network is at it again, portraying Mrs. Clinton as 'conciliatory'. All things considered, it's an adjective that could be much more aptly applied to a shark.

JOJO   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

As Butthead would say, "Just look at her!" UGHHHHH!!!!!! Stick a pin in that fat, ugly head and let some of the hot air out please!!!

Mary   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

It's time for all Americans to reject Clinton's 'crash & burn' tactics. She's devisive, negative & polarizing. I look forward to Barack Obama's uplifting presidency & having he & his family in the White House! Obama in 08!

Angel for Obama   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

There is Clinton on the attack again with her dirty GOP style politics strategy. The end is near for her and her camp

"Obama 08 enough said"

Mike   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

From my own post (12:13 pm)

"If there is an upset and Senator Clinton wins South Carolina "

(I meant to say North Carolina).

John Adams   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Define Irony:

Hillary Clinton backed Eight Belles, a filly who ran this past weekend in the Kentucky Derby. Not only does the horse finish second — to a horse named "Big Brown" — but the filly had to be immediately put down.

No further comment needed.

We need Help in NYS!   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Senator Obama

Please help us here in NYS. We are suffering badly and Hillary Clinton has done nothing for us since taking office. She decided to run as a Senator of NYS because she needed us for the primaries.

Hillary promised 200,000 jobs since taking office when we lost much more since her tenure. I am asking that you provide real help in Harlem where Hillary has signed on to destroy thousands of homes to build new businesses for out of state companies. That would leave many of us not just homeless but in a desperate rush to find new living quarters.

Senator Obama, I have listened to you and your agenda and direction is clear; and that is not to play the same Washington politics but clean it up from bottom up, Hillary seems to want power and will step on the American people to get there.

Thank you Senator Obama, I know you are clear thinking man that has the American people's needs in mind.

Regards,

NYS Resident.

rodney   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

To all voters::: enough of the bickering and battering. Whoever is our nominee, lets stand behind him/her and support them. Personally, I favor Barrack but I would vote for HIllary in a heart beat, She's smart, tenacious and thorough. However, Barrack to this college student is more affluent in his demeanor. Moreover, we have two outstanding candidates, lets not make this harder than it shall be. That's why I hate when Hillary somehow tries to make me as a white man scared to vote for a black because I like her and want to like her but I never know where she's going. To Hillary supporters, its not that Obama supporters hate Hillary, what we hate is inconsistency. I hate Bush but at least he's consistent as being a noncharismatic, nonfunny, idioctic figure. If Hillary wants to be perceived as tough, then be tough consistency. Don't have me thinking that your just acting big and bad but when the wind blows, you too are far off. Barrack message since the 2004 DNC convention has not change. He has been stedfast in his message since then and that's what I like about and i hope he wins.But I will still vote Hillary just because, but will campaign extraordinarily for barrack

Pepou   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

If she thinks that I would ever support a candidate, democrat or republican who would coldly suggest to OBLITERATE another country, she is strongly mistaken. This type of cowboy diplomacy (I am more macho than Bush) is shameful and scary.

Jim   May 5th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Yep Norm, you are right bud! Indiana, PLEASE give Hillary the boot, please, please, please…
Liar, liar pants on fire is Hillary's truch… Lie and say anything she can to disparage Obama and his potential to be the BEST US PRESIDENT of the modern era.

yhoff76   May 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

To all of you voters voting for Hillary Clinton and her cronies, go to "you tube" and type "Mickey Kantor" and you will get a clear picture as to what the Hillary campaign thinks about you. "What good fortune for those in power that people do not think"
-Adolf Hitler

JP Bless   May 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Hillary conciliatory? Someone please spell schizophrenia for me. Every day I ask myself which Hillary would show up?

NickNas   May 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

LOL people are SHEEP and Hillary KNOWS it. BASH BASH LIE LIE SLANDER SLANDER Then…..

NICE NICE the day before the vote.

Sorry to say but SHE has disillusioned me so bad that I too am joining the " If she wins I sit home in Nov." Club!

I am NOT going to be feeling like the Bush Voters who put THAT loser in office and have ANYTHING to do with her in anyway. ZERO support.

I am convinced now that people in our country are not as smart in general as I gave them credit for. How Sad.

MC, Pa   May 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Ugly! Scary! Nasty!Phony!

No more liars in the whitehouse!

Patrick   May 5th, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Yes… I'll rely on Glenn for all my news from now on cause he's right about everything.

Ya huh

Cammi317   May 5th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

It seems to me that she is attempting to mend the woes of the party with the realization that tomorrow may very well be the end of the road for her campaign. I can respect that.

OBAMA 08

Yes we can!   May 5th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

If Hillary was serious about unifying the party, she would have pulled out a long time ago when even her campaign stated she would never catch up to Obama in pledge delegates. That's what a unifier does. Depsite their weakness or failures, you do what's good for the party…..Dont care if she wins Indy, cause it wont be a blow out,,,out of the remaining states they will probably break even, he will still be ahead in all counts including superdelegates….so what then….i'm still waiting for NY to join the blog and let us know what has she done for NY since she's been there….

Jray   May 5th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

No two people are alike huh well let's take a look

McCain – Voted for the war Clinton – Voted for the war – 4 Trillion dollar

McCain -Supports tax Holiday Clinton -Supports tax Holiday – $.18

Getting a President who supports neither …….PRICELESS

OBAMA 08

Trev   May 5th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

So, I hear Obama made a backroom deal with the Teamsters in exchange for their support. Politics of change anyone???

Big D   May 5th, 2008 12:14 pm ET

Hillary's ambitions have clouded her judgement. She's called herself a fighter but she's fighting the wrong things and has become a characature of herself. She's always been a panderer, but now that seems like that's all she is. She's not a leader – leaders don't pander. Obama is strong enough to lead without resorting to gimmicks and negative distortions.
O '08

Dennis   May 5th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Sounds like she may be throwing in the towel, or at least setting the stage for that to happen. That or someone told her she was sounding like an idiot ranting about a gas tax holiday that makes no sense. Either way, shes now on the defensive the day before a big primary instead of Obama. That should send undecided voters to him and help him win both states.

ronn   May 5th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

i just listen to a speach that cnn let play from hillary and i find it odd that every primary cnn leads off with hillary so as to put her in the front,but her speach is taken from all of obamas first hand speaches, check it out. nothinfg of her own. substance, she has none and no shame either

Mike   May 5th, 2008 12:13 pm ET

Senator Clinton will win Indiana and even if NObama wins North Carolina, it will be by disappointing numbers.

If there is an upset and Senator Clinton wins South Carolina as well, NObama is toast!

The undecided voters usually break for Senator Clinton, so based on the percentages, yes she could possibly win North Carolina.

Plus, once in that voting booth, people react differently.

Where is Rev. Wright, we need a scandal!!!

Go Hillary!!!!

TX - Black Man   May 5th, 2008 12:12 pm ET

She is noticing that she sounding more like a republican as opposed to a democrat…..agreeing with McCain and not Obama? I'm sorry I know she wants to win, but to side with the dark side to do so is stupid.

The idea may help the Truckers, but big oil is not in the business of helping anyone, if they were our gas prices would be $2 per gal. not $4. So is it really worth it? I don't think so…..

Pat in Cali   May 5th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

You have to be able to "buy" gas to get the gas tax break, right?

So is this a trick to get us to buy more gas, so we can rack up a lot of savings?

And if you don't drive? How does this help people who need an extra $30 for food?

Merrin   May 5th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Everyone knows that she'll say anything to win, including
destroying the Democratic Party. She sounds like a Republican.
There is not really any moral driving force.

richard   May 5th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Do your best Hillary. You are the President America has been waiting for.

Dan in CO   May 5th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Yeah, she spent the weekend picking scabs, and then spends Monday slapping a band-aid on them, to make that "gesture" the last thing the voters think about.

And it will work, based on the voters habits the past few weeks.

Clintons know politics. And they know pandering.

HillarySkank on myspace   May 5th, 2008 12:10 pm ET

Lady you are full of it.
Your statement "“Of course once we have a nominee we’re going to close ranks and have a unified party because the differences between us as Democrats pale in comparison to the differences we have with Sen. McCain and the Republicans,” she added" presumes you will be able to talk super delegates into voting for you thereby stealing the primary from the barack who has a larger percentage of the states, delegates, and popular vote.

I'll never close ranks unless it is to line up behind you and kick you square in the butt. If you succeed in taking the Democrat primary, I will vote McCain period. I will also vote strait republican on every single office all the way down to local council member for at least the next two elections.

sb   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Apple cheeked bimbo is destroying the Dem party.

Chuck, Oregonians for Obama   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

No Sen Clinton, I will never unite behind you if you win the nomination. I will vote for Mr Mc Cain as I will have to put up with him for only 4 years, which will be a cake walk when compared to having you, and your husband back in office for 8 years.

Rick in Oregon   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

This is the type of talk that ALL democrats should be saying. I know that we all love our particular candidate, but the cold hard fact is that there has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. It appears that my candidate is going to lose, but this will not make me so bitter that I will go insane and vote for McCain. I don't understand the logic of people that talk like that.

Hillary is right. Obama and Clinton BOTH have so many more of the ideas I want implimented for this country than McCain. I would love for them both to work together to make this country better than it is.

Brandy (Dallas)   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Okay why is this schizo allowed to keep talking? One minute she is basically challenging Obama to a fight at 3pm in the playground when the school bell rings and the next minute she's talking like he's her ol' pal that just happens to be running against her but in the end, they will remain best buds.

What a lunatic. She must not just be tapping into blue collar votes but also the ones who are flaky like her.

What SANE person would follow this nonsense? Hillary, pick an emotion and stick with it for more than five minutes.

OH and btw, you really need to lay off the prozac

jeff - Dallas   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Still no mention of Kalyn Free, superdelegate and member of the Choctaw Indian Nation endorsement of Senator Obama today. Just an article about how concillatory Hillary is.

Obama 08

Justin (ny)   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

Maybe she should listen to the experts telling her how terrible the gas tax holiday would be for the economy?

liberals' worst nightmare   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

To all the Obama supporters who think Rev. Wright is a "non-issue" and that we should all "move on", maybe ya'll should read Glenn Beck's commentary found on CNN's homepage. Maybe then you will see why it's a legitimate concern to millions of Americans.

After further review,Texas   May 5th, 2008 12:09 pm ET

You are a Republican as far as Im concerned and I dont believe a word you say anymore.Im also a white older voter and cant be race-baited by you and your hubby.Bill and you gave our jobs away and I wont forget or forgive.

Nicholas   May 5th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

Hillary,

If you could only win both these states, well, that would be incredible…

You are the front runner, without any doubt…

Hillary for president 08!!!

CW in DC   May 5th, 2008 12:08 pm ET

This woman makes my head hurt with the back and forth she does and I'm not even a Clinton supporter. Another form of pandering maybe? Did her eyes well up with tears? She is very shrewd.

58 white old ladies for OBAMA   May 5th, 2008 12:07 pm ET

SHE WILL PROBABLY HAVE ANOTHER CHAT

WITH WRIGHT & THE TWO BODIES CAN START AGAIN.

Ready for Change   May 5th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Yes we will !!!!! We will all rally behind Hillary when she wins the nomination and beats McCain in November!

HillarySkank on myspace   May 5th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Clinton is pandering   May 5th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

Hillary spoke last night to the people or should I say spoke down to the people while Barack had a conversation that treated everyone as equals. He get’s it.

America will be a better, safer and more united country when Barack Obama is finally sworn in as President. The people will finally get their country back from ruthless, intimidated and selfish politicians.

Hillary and Bill Clinton cannot be trusted and don't deserve a 2nd chance in Washington. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.

David Goldman for OBAMA   May 5th, 2008 12:06 pm ET

SHE JUST NEEDS A SLEAZE RELOAD.

SHE WILL RELOAD & START AGAIN.

bernj   May 5th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Hillary has already done her damage. Despite the lies and dirty stuff Obama will still prevail. She should know by now that a lie, no matter how often told, is still a lie. Maybe she just can't help herself.

Post fairly CNN   May 5th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

CNN why haven't you reported Obama's super delegate support from Kalyn Free that happened this morning? All the other stations are. Instead you post a story about a nascar driver supporting Clinton. COME ON!!! We know your biased towards Clinton but atleast try and be fair. And of course she is backing off, it's politically expedient for her to do so a day before the race. She knows people are sick of her negativity.

Chris, Middletown, CT   May 5th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

Hillary – do you mean the pandering gas tax relief that would halt construction on Americas highways and save us 30 cents a day? (that one?) – the one that nobody supports – other than you…all economists think its a horrible idea….?? that one??

How about that healthcare system – are the "10 million" you refer to – also illegal aliens?? (the same ones you wanted to give drivers licenses to?)

shan   May 5th, 2008 12:05 pm ET

One more lie from Clinton's :-) how disgusting

mimi de la cruz foe OBAMA   May 5th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

OF COURSE, THE END IS NEAR FOR HER.

Ostriches burying our heads in the sand   May 5th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

Come on CNN….I am tired of seeing only clinton stories in the political ticker….give us some balanced coverage!

How about the new endorsements Barack got this morning?? At this rate I will have to go to other outlets for any Obama news…

Milwaukee for Obama   May 5th, 2008 12:04 pm ET

that face does not look conciliatory at all. She looks like she wants to shred someone literally. LOL…………….

Robert in Toronto,ON   May 5th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

First she spends all that time attacking back, and now today before the vote she's reserved?

WHY DO (SOME) PEOPLE NOT SEE THROUGH THIS????

It's absolutely ridiculous what this woman will say or do to get the nomination. Of course she's a "fighter"…she's in it to win for herself!

Jeanne   May 5th, 2008 12:03 pm ET

Maybe if she weeps a few more fake tears… she'll win that one, too. People are so gullible.

ROLL HRC   May 5th, 2008 12:03 pm ET
