Watch a clip of Sen. Clinton's speech Tuesday night in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (CNN) — Hillary Clinton claimed victory Tuesday in the Indiana Democratic presidential primary, but pledged to work for the eventual Democratic nominee "no matter what happens."

CNN has not projected a winner in Indiana because the race between Clinton and rival Barack Obama, who won Tuesday's North Carolina primary, remains tight.

"We know how desperately people want to see a change, and it will not be a change if the Republicans keep the White House," the New York senator said. "It will be more of the same — something that no one, no matter what political party you may be, can afford."

VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE NOT RACE!!!!!

Chad, Durham, NC   May 7th, 2008 1:03 am ET

Yeah, she'll bring real change: who voted for the war? Who sat by the last 7 years and allowed this administration to spit on our rights and constitution? Who has accepted millions and millions of campaign contributions from insurance companies and PACs?
She is more of the same despite her monotone rhetoric.

Mary   May 7th, 2008 1:03 am ET

Hillary I don't know why you think you are the one to beat McCain. I really do feel sorry for you. We need change,

Jp   May 7th, 2008 1:00 am ET

Looks like she's going to loose Indiana…now what???

Real Dem   May 7th, 2008 1:00 am ET

Bitter Tommy - Obama didn't need to play dirty - the media did it for him. BTW, criticizing someone's record and policies is not playing dirty.

Stephen David   May 7th, 2008 12:59 am ET

Claimed victory? Hillary claimed victory?" Wasn't that a bit premature? Eve if/when she wins, it's going to be less than 5%… That's a Clinton loss, a HUGE Clinton loss.

Sen. Clinton supporters… she fought a GREAT fight! I suspect tomorrow the supers will close the deal.

Hillary for VP? Hillary for health czar. Yep, yep, yep!

Susan,WV   May 7th, 2008 12:58 am ET

Hillary your pandering days are over!!!!!!!

TT   May 7th, 2008 12:58 am ET

Please don't pity Hillary. Hillary has proven she is the real winner and the Wright affect is unfortunately not over as it did not impact the early votes, which amounted to nearly 30% of all the votes counted tonight.

Kara   May 7th, 2008 12:57 am ET

LOL I can't wait to say to all you pathetic Obama supporters come November 5 " NO YOU COULDN'T!!! " LMAO

VOTE FOR EXPERIENCE!! NOT RACE!!!!

McCain 2008

MP-Pennsylvania   May 7th, 2008 12:53 am ET

MATHEMATICALLY HILLARY CANNOT WIN. SHE NEEDS ALL REMAINING STATES INCLUDING NC AND INDIANA GO TO HER 70%.

OR SHE NEEDS 75% OF SUPER DELEGATES WITH 50% OF ALL TEH REMAINING STATES. THEN SHE CAN REACH THE MAGIC NUMBER, BUT SHE CANNOT OVERTAKE OBAMA. WITH 25% SUPERDELEGATES AND 50% OF REMAINING STATES OBAMA WILL STILL AHEAD.

A MATH TEACHER FOR OBAMA

Real Dem   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

Nannie - thank you for checking Venus and Amy Iowa. I don't believe they are democarts. My Repub friends and family members who read these blogs believe that the Obama supporters are real hateful bunch - they attack anyone who is not for Obama. Bitter Tommy you can't stand the truth - ddi you not read the attacks on the Edwards for not endorsing a candidate?

NorthWest Indiana   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

I' Live in Northwest Indiana, and let me tell you the obama campaign has run war dialers, in the past 2 weeks i've gotten over 30 phonecalls from his campaign, and only one from clinton's campaign. Unfortuantely, many of the voters in this area do work in Chicago and the suburban regions through there, where crime bosses run rampid- I have no problem with voting for an African American, but I will not vote for a scurvy yellow belly corrupt backed by criminals politicians.

angelina aguilar st paul mn   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

With all due respect, the numbers are not in her favor, the people dislike her, the few wins she has had is because of Limbaugh's operation chaos,

someone please tell her to leave now…………….. it is not her turn to run, we will eventually have a woman president, but it will someone who has earned it in her own right, not her husband, it will be someone honest, who represents people not her own desire for power and desire to continue a clinton legacy. This is a democracy not a dynasty…….

Please Senator clinton leave now……………

hrcrules!   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

thanks for the memories, hillary. it really was fun supporting you throughout the primary. i hope you come back in the next eight years, you'll STILL be younger than mccain is now. our party needs to get back together. thanks, hrc and god bless!

Billy   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

I think it is now time for Hillary to step aside. She has done her best but it is too close. Obama is a black man thus making him a strong contender in a time when a call for political correctness is at an all time high. I seriously doubt that the majority of America that votes in the general election will vote in Obama, a man who has little experience and who has set before a minister for 20 years that preaches hate against this great country of ours and against the white man. Many Obama supporters say "now let's not make this about race" but the truth is Rev. Wright has made it about race and the 90% black voters have obviously made it about race.
Obama will not win in November, thus giving the Republicans 4 more years. THEN America will be so tired of Republicans that Hillary can come back in 2012 and be the President we need!!

My vote this fall will go to McCain. I will choose experience over race any day.

jAYjAY   May 7th, 2008 12:51 am ET

The Obama bandwagon is leaving …………..jump on Hillary.. yes there is room for you

This white liberal dem will never vte obama b/c I cannot stand his supporters…so I could care less if hillary who I gave several hundred dollars too - asks me too personally voe for little o (i won't do it)!

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI   May 7th, 2008 12:46 am ET

What's going on in Gary? The more things CHANGE, the more they stay the SAME!

Where are the votes?

The corrupt Chicago Political Machine - aka Senator Obama's Machine - seems to be at it again…

Hillary is an arrogant politician. Dishonest and false. Thinking people do not trust her. No more Bush`s and Clinton`s in WH. Enough is enough!

Well look at the company you keep…

Look how the anger little man Thomas McDermott show his unkind attitude… face red, tone naste and he's a mayor commenting on television like that… and he's for HIllary… He is one who needed to vote for Obama… He REALLY needs change. Or he needs to take a sit on the stool…because he is full of himself as is the folks in Indiana. A state who is known for their prejudice views.

Roy In NC   May 7th, 2008 12:42 am ET

For all the conspiracy theorists out there, it's taking a long time because of the high number of absentee ballots, which are not machine counted.

Chill out, go grab a beer and settle in. It'll probably be tomorrow until the final results are in, and if it's as close as it looks to be, there may well be a recount. Remember the Texas primary? That wasn't finalized for a few days.

mrsingh   May 7th, 2008 12:41 am ET

If it's going to be "more of the same" then why is she using republican playbook on another democrat!

Unlike Clinton supporters, I, a Obama supporter will vote for Hillary if she's the candidate. I'm not spiteful! I know my values and principles and beliefs and what this country needs. I'm not a Benedict Arnold! Tonight, it looks like Obama will get nomination. But, if McCain wins at least we Democrats got the candidate we wanted and he has run a respectable campaign that we can be proud of.

Can the clinton campaign say the same?

jason pawlik   May 7th, 2008 12:40 am ET

have this weird grin on their faces when talking about Hillary winning ?
Do the math folks she can't win..Vote for Barack Obama!!go team

Clinton sounds very gracious. I really admire how hard she fought for the nomination. She's been tireless. It's time for us to unite to defeat McCain and the neocons in November!! Yes we can!!

Obama is not qualifed to be president and he remains unelectable. there is definitely some type of voter fraud going on.

Chris   May 7th, 2008 12:33 am ET

I am a 25 year old registered Republican and a NYC public school administrator. I am impressed with what Barack Obama has done and he has my vote in November. One problem that I have is with Hillary Clinton telling Americans that every vote should count but turning to the delegates and saying that I can run better in November. With that comment, I dont feel that my vote does count because many more Americans have voted for Obama. If Hillary takes her advice then Obama is the clean nominee. Hillary needs to stop saying our votes should count then tell the superdelegates that they should go against us. TWO FACED.

Roberta Wright   May 7th, 2008 12:31 am ET

Hillary check on that Indiana vote in Lake county; boy is that the Florida for this elections.Obama needs a few more years in the Senate.We love you Hillary. God Bless and good luck.

Tehran   May 7th, 2008 12:30 am ET

Clinton alway say she won the "Battleground" states, so do that really mean all votes really count. This mean you won the states that matter and thats not a good statement. How you claim victory before all the votes are counted. This goes against your speech that all votes matter when come to reason to count MI and FL.

Montana is Obama Country   May 7th, 2008 12:30 am ET

JuS   May 7th, 2008 12:29 am ET

Questionable politics. First Florida in 2004. Now Obama's home turf in 2008. It sours my faith in the honesty of our voting system. What is going on in Gary? Something's rotten in "Denmark".

Obama won by 14 points over Hillary in North Carolina. A large majority of those voters were white. 14 points - double digits! How do you like them apples, Hillary?

yancey   May 7th, 2008 12:18 am ET

hillary lies on a daily basis and obama says nothing except he would raise taxes.Hmmmm looks like GOP wins again.

Patricia   May 7th, 2008 12:16 am ET

Jessica honey….. this old grandma is supporting Obama because he's the real deal. Honest, intelligent and strong. You must be listening to Clinton lies, reinforced with her bobbing head…. they took a course on how to brainwash people when Bill ran for office, the bobbing head is reinforcement technique. How's it feel to be one of their 'subjects? Another thing, Obama has NOT refused a revote in the two states. Another Clinton fabrication…. after reading all of your post, I have come to the conclusion, she has you under her spell….. Wake up honey, it's time to learn reality. Clinton lies to get votes

Ty   May 7th, 2008 12:15 am ET

Jessica, Obama has nothing to do with the fact that MI and FL votes arent counted. Wake up and learn the facts. The DNC warned the states that their votes wouldn't count if the primaries were moved up, they were moved up and they paid the price. The DNC has stated that those states wont be allowed to determine the winner. Give your head a shake before you start ranting because you are sad Hillary has lost.

An American in Canada   May 7th, 2008 12:14 am ET

FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN 350 DELEGATES SHOVED TO THE BACK OF THE BUS.

WHAT IS THE DEAL?

IF FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN IS NOT PERMITTED THEIR AMERICAN RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED, THEN SOMEONE HAS HIGHJACKED THE AMERICA DEMOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY.

NEITHER CANDIDATE IS LEGITIMATE UNTIL FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTERS HAVE THEIR PHYSICAL VOTES COUNTED JUST LIKE THE REST OF AMERICANS, IN THIS UNUSUAL PRIMARY YEAR…

Why does CNN screen real comments and post racially charged BS?

Diane in Texas   May 7th, 2008 12:12 am ET

Just so that Obama knows, I will put together some of the brightest and biggest Hillary supporters and pay for it myself to get out the vote for John McCain in which it will not take a lot. I have a group already in place. I was a Hillary supporter but since the DNC have lost all the real Democrats, I think that it is time to reel them back into the Republican house and make Obama a glitch in the history books. Hope you had fun while it lasted, Democraps.

HillarySkank on myspace   May 7th, 2008 12:11 am ET

Her comment "pledged to work for the eventual Democratic nominee "no matter what happens."" is something that I would have to see to believe. I still think she has some nastiness up her sleeve but should she eventually bow out and work tirelessly to help Obama win, I may be forced to reevaluate. Until that happens, I will believe it is only another in a long string of "misstatements" by her and her dope smoking (but not enhaling) husband who questioned what the defination of is was.

douadavid, PA   May 7th, 2008 12:11 am ET

Congratulation to American Queen Hillary Clinton by winning Indiana. Now, it's the time to expose Nobama ' s dirty politic and knock him out of the race for good. American know his fake change and will never vote for him again. Nobama can talk and talk but he never walked and walked to show his true color. Obama is good only to be the president of that racist church. 2008 is for Hillary.

Debby   May 7th, 2008 12:11 am ET

Well Obama did very well tonight congrats to him. It looks like he will be the nominee and I do think Hillary should drop out now and I support Clinton. I think even if Michigan and Florida comes into play I think Obama deserves the win.

Diamond   May 7th, 2008 12:10 am ET

The CNN Pundits should investigate int to Votes coming out of the North West Region of Indiana; that soundsvery fishy to me!

COME ON CNN KEEP THEM HONEST!!

Thore   May 7th, 2008 12:10 am ET

I wonder how much Obama spent to get his 200,000 early ballots cast in NC. With all the free and favorable publicity Obama receives from the cable networks and the fact that Obama outspent Hillary 5 to 1 in April, it is amazing that Hillary is competing in Obama's backyard. Why can't Obama close the deal? Answer: nearly 10% of the US population in Florida and Michigan have not been counted. Nothing matters until the DNC decides to count all the votes. Keep fighting Hillary!

Destruction   May 7th, 2008 12:09 am ET

Ok I get it..nothing negative about Hillary. I can't believe this, if you actually state her strategy, point out who is being harmed by it and it's financial and political costs, CNN will not post it!!
CNN you suck!

Judy Hankins   May 7th, 2008 12:08 am ET

So Senator Clinton declared herself the winner in Indiana, and all of the totals are not in. I guess it was clever on her part to do so since she got the early opportunity to ask for more donations. If her supporters send money right away she keeps the cash to continue even if the final numbers could be 51/49 in Obama's favor.

Bitter Tommy Hussein in St. Louis   May 7th, 2008 12:07 am ET

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI - you are incredibly naive if you don't think that goes both ways. I've seen Clinton supporters say nastier things about Obama on these political ticker blogs, things that border on, if not outright crossing the line into, libel. There is usually no evidence to support them, no basis in fact. But it is a fact that Hillary has run a nasty and negative campaign.

And besides, isn't it Clinton's supporters, by and large, who are throwing the big tantrum because their candidate is losing, and threatening to vote for McCain in November? Trying to break the party because your candidate doesn't win is about as divisive as you can get.

JC   May 7th, 2008 12:07 am ET

I read lots of angry postings tonight from Hillary supporters after the vote counts came in. Why would they be so angry after Hillary gave a winning speech in Indiana? Have they decided not to be cheated by Hillary one last time?

Destruction   May 7th, 2008 12:04 am ET

Is this post closed or is CNN being Clintonesque once more?

john   May 7th, 2008 12:04 am ET

I am a black man. Be really ,Obama will never win general election by
winning 90% of black vote . Black americans are only 12% of the
general population. If obama gets the democratic party nomination,
lucky Mccain, he will be the next president. Obama only win in the
Red states like Utah that will vote for Mccain in the general election.
Obama did not win any large blue state that a democrate need to win
the president except his own state. It will be a landslide for Mccain
with that record for obama. Of course, I am a democrate too.
Thanks,
John

alice2   May 7th, 2008 12:02 am ET

I agree with some of the above comments that Hillary uses Obama's lines, I too wish she would stop. Obama is going to be the Nominee & Indiana still is not in, but it is getting closer right now Obama has 49% Hillary 51% so Obama had a terrific night. American people did not buy into Hillary's crap . Guess we are all getting REAL SICK OF HER. I hope the DNC talks to the Superdels & they get together & end this. I don't see how anyone can vote for Hillary, Negative campaigning, Chronic Liar, Barack is ahead of her in all ways She should GET OUT. .

Doober   May 7th, 2008 12:02 am ET

Obama was not in the senate to vote on the Iraq war. The democratic party decided upon the rules for their primaries. Both the states of Michigan and Florida and their delegations were aware of the consequences. What is the problem? Why blame Obama? Why not blame the morons who wanted to make more money for each state?

linda-Texas   May 7th, 2008 12:02 am ET

NC Exit Polls by age and race:

White 17-29 = 56% Obama, 42% Clinton
White 30-44 = 43% Obama, 50% Clinton
White 45-59 = 34% Obama, 61% Clinton
White 60 & Older = 29% Obama, 69% Clinton

Black 17-29 = 93% Obama, 3% Clinton
Black 30-44 = 88% Obama, 7% Clinton
Black 45-59 = 94% Obama, 5% Clinton
Black 60 & older = 89% Obama, 6% Clinton

Black voters account for 30% of the North Carolina vote.

"Hillary can save us" but she is losing! She said she will go ahead with the next states but it's impossible now for her to win. Bill's face said it all. But as tenacious as she is, she will go on trying to deny Obama to reach 2025 just to comfort herself that she was denied a fair game!

I'm agreeing with Jeff Toobin on suspicion on why the votes from Lake County is taking so long.And the fact that Hillary gives a victory speech when a county that seem to favor Obama is not counted. Could we seeing Florida 2000 happening in Indiana ? Honestly the DNC needs to get their act together if they intends to win 2008 election. I'm begining to like the Republican Party at least for their unity.

God save us, this is what we will say if obama gets the nomination. All you have to do is read the nasty empty headed posts by the obama cult. You have to be pretty dumb to believe his crap. He will promise to raise the dead and you obamadites will say I BELIEVE!!! He will never never never never never win against Mc Cain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only that can save us is Hillary!!

douadavid, PA   May 6th, 2008 11:50 pm ET

I am sick of seeing Nobama playing the race card and he won all the black vote in North Carolina. This fake and dirty politic will bring him down if he win our party nominee. Shame on you Nobama. 2008 is for Hillary.

jessica   May 6th, 2008 11:40 pm ET

Why does Obama refuse to allow a revote in Michigan and Florida? There is only ONE REASON. He knows that he may not win when these 2 states are counted. Otherwise, he would have allowed those two states the right to participate to show his "graciousness". What kind of politician is willing to suppress votes in order that he wins an election? The worst kind, the dictators and tyrants from whom we fled to this country. And Obama has the audacity to claim himself a better kind of politician? Only people younger than 30 will believe in his words. We look at track record. The ani-Iraq war vote that Obama cites in every speech was not cast because of his intelligence, but because of the ideology that he shares with his pastor who believes that 911 was our fault. I knew from the outset that it was all about his personal ambition, even before the news broke about how he sat in the church listening to rubbish for 20 years. He may not believe those sermons, but he surely enjoyed all that rubbish, or else he would not have wasted his time listening to them. I could not sit there for a minute listening to this kind of insult by his pastor to our humanity and our great nation. Obama only cut his ties to his pastor in order to win our votes. He should have shown the wisdom before his presidential bid.

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI   May 6th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

To:Venus & Amy in Iowa: I am always impressed by the quality of your divisive comments; it is truly wonderful to see what Obama Democrats are made of…

I beg you to run again in 2012 if the democratic party elect BO. The republicans will EAT HIM UP AND SPIT HIM OUT. I just donated $100.00 to you @ hillaryclinton.com.

For days now you have tried to sway this election in favor of Hillary…well, it did not work. Crawl back in your hole and try to return with some of your past honesty.

Tom   May 6th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

Everyone and every news organization can spin this all they want for ratings or wishes, but in the end this is how it will go…… The SUPERDELAGATES…. and Hillary will get it…because The SUPER DELAGATES realize that HALF of Hillarys supporters will either NOT vote, or vote for McCain, while only 20 % of Obama's said that. That's a win for her and a loss for him, and the Dems won't let that happen. He will have to wait until 2016 and pay his dues first they will tell him.

Marie in California   May 6th, 2008 11:24 pm ET

As a moderate Democrat…..if Hillary does not get the nomination I'll vote for centrist McCain, simply because I'd rather take a chance on "more of the same" than have a Far Left puppet like Obama in the White House.

Obama will NEVER get my Democratic vote! Nope!

Margeaux   May 6th, 2008 11:23 pm ET

Obama simply cannot win nation wide. The country is at war. We are in a recession and things are only going to get worse. Do you really want an newbie in there? Holding hands and singing is not going to get us out of this mess.

Obama can and will win the Presidency over MCCain. Americans
won't vote for another Republican now, or maybe never.

EJ in TX   May 6th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

I will be glad when the Fl and MI votes are settled at the end of May. I am really tired of Hillary and her people whining about them. Let them have a vote. If you look at the numbers, even with Fl counted, Obama won. Now you can't expect to count MI. Obama was not even on the ballot. So put him on the ballot . OHHHH , that is how Clinton plans to win the nomination…exclude Obama from the ballot.

JC   May 6th, 2008 11:22 pm ET

Typical Clinton tactics. Trying to get people to think any Republican or Conservative elected is going to be just like George W. Bush. The really sad thing is that some people believe this.

It's terrible gender stereotyping to charge that she should "give up" and "give in" and "sacrifice" her own ambition. A man would be praised for perseverance.

Why did Hillary bring up Michigan and Florida votes yet again? Don't her campaign advisers ever stop to think that maybe the SMART voters in those states DID NOT participate in the primaries because they knew it wouldn't count? It was agreed before the primaries that these would only be "beauty contests". Those delegates should be seated at the convention, 50-50.

KINGSLEY   May 6th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

New spins, Hillary's beer drinking and shots is causing her older white votes. How can a religious woman be bar hopping taking shots.

Amy from Michigan   May 6th, 2008 11:20 pm ET

As much as I would like my voice and choice to be heard (Obama), Michigan and Florida broke the rules and should not be counted. I think the National Democratic Party needs to punish state party officials next time, but this time they have stick to their threat of not seating our delegates. We as voters should vote out the party officials responsible, not take it out on the democratic candidate in the fall!

rl-OH   May 6th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

I think Michelle Obama was right in her speech last week, saying they
keep raising the bar…..

Hillary needs to step down now, she is ruining the democratic
party with her continued path of feeling that the whitehouse
belongs to her, the people have spoken and continue to speak.

Stop this Hillary, go home.

obama 08   May 6th, 2008 11:18 pm ET

Chanda   May 6th, 2008 11:17 pm ET

PLEASE DONT FALL INTO THEIR TRAP VOTE HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mitchell from arkansaw   May 6th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

hillary,come back home to arkansaw ,we still love you here!

joy   May 6th, 2008 11:16 pm ET

why is it that no one is mentioning how Hillary Rodham-Clinton stuck to her husband's side with the Monica Lewinski scandal???

In a way, the Wright scandal is similar but at least Obama did something about it where Hillary didn't……………….

Maybe it is time to pull that card out.

Laura   May 6th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Whatever!!! Obama was copying all our former leaders and now he feels that he can unite the party. I have always been a loyal democrat BUT if Obama wins I will vote for McCain. Obama only stands for himself and what Wright has drilled in to in his head. Sorry but Obama is not the best canidate nor does he have a chance to beat McCain.

kate, NM   May 6th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Yeah, you folks deserve a leader like Obama.

EJ in TX   May 6th, 2008 11:15 pm ET

Hillary does not want to consolidate the party. If she did she would not be slinging mud regarding his spending and still talking about that stupid gas holiday garbage.

JC   May 6th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

Hillary would have been much worse than "More of the same".

Didn't she see her supporters saying goodbye to her tonight?

We do want to have a woman president some day, but she has to run on her own merit.

Glyde Miller May   May 6th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

I just want to point out the neo-conservatives are still trying to play games with the electorate. Hillary is obviously going to be the next president of the US. The black American core are soon going to see how they are being used to thwart a win in the election. Republicans crossing over to Clinton are not doing it to please the Rush Limbaughs or to be racist. They are doing it because they can see that she is what the world needs right now. Mr. Obama is a great guy, albeit untried, but he doesn't even come close to depth and breadth of the intelligence of this woman. Please black america realize that revenge against previous wrongs cannot be wiped out by hurting the best candidate you have ever had for your president. She cannot change the color of her skin!

NOTE THIS   May 6th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

This is in response to the issue of why "conservatives" go more for Clinton (as usual the comments were closed for the previews post)

Conservative democrats go for Clinton because she is more MODERATE!!!

Obama is a left wing liberal nut - once the media reports this it will make sense.

I am a moderate democrat and that is why I am attracted to Clinton (and even McCain), but Obama is TOO liberal

Jay   May 6th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

bitter Obama fans

Jeff D, South Bend IN   May 6th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

Cue the Clinton-crybabies, trying to spin this night of more losing. Another night of elections, and another night where Obama takes home more votes and more delegates. Again. Like almost every single other election night in this cycle. She wins by a couple points, and he wins by 14%. Spin. Spin. Spin.

Watching your TV coverage, and here go the Clintonites, talking about Florida, Michigan, "rural voters", "the stronger candidate" (despite losing popular vote, states, delegates - every metric that matters).

Wake Up America   May 6th, 2008 11:13 pm ET

I suspect voter fraud in Indiana, Lake County

Shahin   May 6th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Toy Hillary has committed to go on and I strongly suggest her to do whatever necessary to please her "Boig Brothers". I truely wish to see Toy Hillary to win. I know best of my political experience and knowledge that no one Toy Hillary or Mechine has intellectual capacity to bring economic and international political stability. Let see how the Caucians bring peace in the world.

Mark   May 6th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

I voted for Hillary. I want to see her win.

Unfortunately, I can't vote for obama because I just don't like him. He wouldn't ever get my vote even on behalf of the democratic party. At least Mccain has more experience.

I cannot vote for a big bag of wind.

buggykong   May 6th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

She claims that she is on the "fast track" to the white house with only 6% lead in Indiana. Ummm, should he hand her a calculator?

Steve   May 6th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

If we can't trust Hillary to follow her OWN PARTY'S RULES and she keeps pleading for Michigan and Florida to be counted then how can we trust her to follow any LAWS of the US? Do not be fooled by her screams that it is undemocratic to "take away the vote" from Michigan and Florida. It was and is a political party nomination, not an election!

BushMustGo   May 6th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Billary, does your experiences in math cause you anxiety? Have you been left with the impression that math is difficult and only some "delusional" people are 'good' at math? Are you one of those "un-hopeful" people who have the audacity to claim we 'can't do math?' Perhaps, you have the dreaded disease called Math Anxiety?

Now we can dispell Billary's Math Myths and move on to the White House
Thank you North Carolina!
Obama 08

jim   May 6th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

Hillary is just like George W. Bush; totally dishonest!

angelina aguilar st paul mn   May 6th, 2008 11:07 pm ET

this woman is now copying Senator Obama's lines, and also
she would not have come this far if it was not for limbaugh sending his troops, this is no lie, ask him and his supporters, they will tellyou,
so the little margin she gained in OH, PA is thank you to Limbaugh
if this does not tell you where she stands, forget it, then……….

Obama 08.

hillary 08:   May 6th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

HILLARY WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE PRESIDENTIAL FIRST LADY TO ME!!!!!!!

all the way Hill!

Reatte Beaumont, Texas   May 6th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

I just pray that it is not you that we have to look and listen to for four years . That is when it will be a crying shame to have you and billy boy in the house again.

Craig A Texas Democrat   May 6th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Sounds like she is ready to get behind Obama to me. I hope she does cause we need to move past this and start attacking McCain.

Amy in Iowa   May 6th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Is she done yet? Really, thanks Hillary but goodbye now.

Venus   May 6th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Get out of this race now! Stop using Obama's lines!

You have acted just like a republican with your negative and nasty campaign!

Go Obama!

Thanks North Carolina and thanks Indiana - even if you believed and gave Obama a small lead from Hillary!

Did any one noticed how sad and shocked all the news-media looked tonight! (:

Caroline   May 6th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

The GOP might be more of the same. But who does she think she's kidding? SHE is more of the same. Honestly, I don't know how this woman looks at herself in the mirror.

Super Delegates   May 6th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

Listen up Super Delegates, doesn't the fact that Rush Limbaugh encouraging his listeners to vote for Hillary send a message to you! The GOP cannot win an election against Obama, and they know it! Hillary has more negatives and baggage than any candidate in history! She will be a easy target for them in the fall! I believe that the super delegates should make their move starting tomorrow! Come on Gore! We know you cannot stand the Clinton's, make the first move! Edwards you better step up too!
