All you Clinton supporters, the ones that believe hang on every word she says, are you going to disavow her when she drops out and backs Obama for president? Will you disavow her when she makes the plea that Obama is the ONLY choice for president? What will you say about her then? Get real, you voters are smarter than that to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Obama '08...our next Democratic Presidential nominee.

WOW... Hillary said something I can agree with, that we like to see her husband on the campaign trail ... in public ... where we can watch him and keep him away from our daughters.

"At the heart of their thinking: Florida and Michigan. Together with Ohio, says the Clinton team, those three states are vital to any Democratic win – and the New York senator has claimed all three." But Obama wasn't even on the ballot in one of those, and didn't really campaign in either... so is it that much of a shock that Hillary took them?

I wonder how many people that got turned away in Indiana were planning to vote for Obama. We heard about the 98 year old nun. But, how many college aged students that overwhelmingly support Obama were unable to vote? With her only leading by 4 pts. it is a question we should all be asking.

The people of the Bahamas are watching the Democratic race with keen interest. Most if not all Bahamians think Obama would be an ideal president and just what America need in these troubling times. It appears to us as we watch the delegate and superdelegate count closely, we don't that Clinton does not have a chance to win unless all the super delegates suddenly changed their minds and voted her as the nominee.

After hearing how Hilary's supporters will vote if Obama wins, I've changed my mind about how I will vote if Hilary wins. I'd like to be just as obstructionist in my disappointment as her supporters. Thus, I will vote against her and I'll also try to get Black voters to change from the Democratic party so that our support isn't discounted as expected. I don't know if it would be as independents or as Republicans, but I will begin to work on it immediately after the outcome.

Well, I'm listening to Hillary's speech right now... Sounds to me like a bunch of Charlie Brown's mom... "Wha-wa-wa... wha... wha..." Dear lord help me (and I'm an atheist) but this woman's voice makes me nuts. Bet she is still incapable of simple math, even after this trouncing.

By: Joe

Joe — Wed, 07 May 2008 02:50:32 +0000

People who are still with Hillary at this point are not very bright. Mathematically, she is just about eliminated. She is too busy with CNN trying to spin the facts. She is down too much, too late. I will not ever vote for her. She has been caught in lies numerous times during this campaign. Lies directly to the public. She is part of an active fraud investigation against her and Bill. CNN seems to ignore this all as if it doesn't exist. The republicans would rip her a new one. She is such an easy target, it is not even funny. Obama has been polite. McCain would not show her the same coutesy.

She is 100% unelectable. Maybe Nancy Reagan would like to run next.

For all the Clinton supporters who say they won't back Obama, ummm, who cares? There will be more intelligent Republicans who will, believe me. Vote against your own interests. We'll still take care of you. Because democrats and honest folks take care of the weak and downtrodden. That's what it's all about.

If Al Gore and John Edwards cannot or do not take their stands, they don't have what it takes to be a leader.

A leader leads, not follows. Governor Richardson took the lead far ahead of you two. John Kerry is another leader, who endorsed Obama early on.

I can't believe it. I'm listening to Hillary's Indiana speech and I hear her people chanting "Yes, we will" (a clear rip-off of the Obama campaign's "Yes we can"). Her message is paraphrased from Obama's earlier speech and she's trying to blame the entire Michigan and Florida mess on Obama rather than admitting that she agreed to the DNC rules in August 2007, saying on video in December 2007 that she agreed that neither race would be awarded delegates. But conveniently, she forgot to remove herself from the ballots, when Sen. Obama, Edwards and other candidates removed themselves from the Michigan and Florida Ballots. I'm soooo dissappointed in her. I REALLY do want to vote for a democratic candidate in the General Election, but she makes it sooo hard to get over her dishonest character. And now she's ripping off the theme of his whole NC speech... awesome... She'll probably claim that he plagerized her tomorrow... and claim that he's an elitist for going first. God, please give me patience.

She is giving her speech right now. Indiana is close to call, but she has the indecency to claim it!!!

This is your new politics? One district trying to delay announcement of Hillary's victory to make it seem like it is closer than it is.Read the map and wake up! Every surrounding district has been won by a 2-1 margin.Just trying to deceive people into thinking it is too close to call.

New Politics?! Same playbook,same page, as Bush in West Palm Beach,2000!

It's over. For the good of the party, Hillary should step down. But, she won't. In the end, this is a competition with rules, and Hillary is losing fair and square. All the spin in the world won't change that. The Dems need to settle this and the unite against McCain.

Sheanne–

I completely agree that with Clinton's negative campaigning and her self-martyrdom that has led so many people to believe that Obama represents centuries of female repression, Obama is going to have an uphill battle. Both candidates would though, for I don't know an Obama supporter anymore that would cast their vote for Clinton.

Here is something to think about though, if you are a really voting with a feminist chip on your shoulder: John Paul Stevens in well into is 80's and probably won't last in the Supreme Court through the next presidential term without retiring. Now, McCain isn't very conservative on many issues, but one that he is is abortion. A McCain victory could very well mean a new conservative justice and the overturn of Roe v Wade. Food for thought.

Obviously Hillary STILL does not get it! The best she can come up with in her speech is that she has won Indiana, which she has NOT won yet, and secondly, can you send me more of those hard earned dollars to a losing cause campaign. Hillary, should they be sending you the $30 they will save from the gas tax holiday.
It IS over Hillary, the Clinton machine is done.
The popular vote has spoken. Obama is up 200,000 votes in NC.
She is only ahead by 40,000 votes in Indiana. DO the math, the voters have spoken Hillary. Listen to them, you are done!

One very important thing that the Clinton team forgets is simply this. Although in the past a state may have voted Republican, that does not completely rule out that state come this year. They could just as easily vote Democrat this year. You just never know. Americans are upset with the way Republicans have handeled the past 8 years. This is very true by the numbers of new Democrat Voters this year; so dont be so quick to say they are blue or red or any color. This is America and Americans are for the first time in many years finding their voice and making it heard.

I don't get why people don't see the ultimate outcome. There is no way she can catch up in pretty much any category. Count Florida and Michigan as is (which is in no way democratic) and she's still behind. Do you really think the supers are going to go completely against the will of the popular vote and the delegate count? Quit fooling yourselves. She stays in because it's her right to do so. But at some point, the rest of America needs to realize this is a done deal. And I've said before, if McCain wins in November, it's not the fault of Obama supporters or the GOP. It's fools who held a grudge because their anointed champion fell that will be the reason McCain has a chance.

I lost respect for the Clinton's a result of this campaign. I think the people of North Carolina and Indiana have seen through the pandering and mud slinging. The gas tax hoax was busted. Desperation is a very poor quality for a President. Pander and stretch the truth now and you will do it later. Look at the Bush years, painful and disappointing to his supporters i am sure. Please think before you vote again.

Who cares if Obama doesn't win the general election, though to the contrary I am confident he would, but the bottom line is he is winning the democratic party's primary. Since when did any of you ever saw a black man come this far? HOORAY to Barrack Obama. You are one of a kind and keep on moving brodda.... Keep on and write the new chapter of this nation's history. You are the next president of good ole USA.

She's going to ask for money in the first line of her speech.

Panderer!

She is delusional. DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN part 2? She hasn't even won Indiana yet and is claiming the WHITEHOUSE?

And why is it "Yes SHE can" and Obama's says "Yes WE can".

This tells you allot about this woman.

I once supported her. But some of my good friends are at Dover Air Force base in body bags. For a war she authorized after not reading the inteligence report.

She is still supporting a "gas tax" holiday that will cost the US $10 Billion in lost highway taxes and for what, a half a tank of gas?

This is irresponsible. She voted against gas efficency regulation because she takes money from oil lobbiests.

She has lost credibility, and lost the nomination.
