its better to disenfranchise 2 states than it is to ignore 36 States that Obama will have won ..
36 to 2?? a No Brainer.

I'm inclined to to think that Nostradames prediction of the Anti-Christ shall appear out of nowhere to lead the world to destruction. Please Hillary Clinton save us from the beast bearing the number 666. If it cannot be, than let it be John McCain. This is not sillyness.

To all the FL/MI voters, I have a question for you.

Why did you go vote in your respective primaries knowing that the DNC had stripped your state from all delegates? Did you not understand the rules?

Unlike you there were many other people that did not vote because they understood the rules. So there is no reason why only your votes should count now.

Abide by the RULES!

mb-
I agree with you 100%.
You voted for Hillary in FLORIDA .HILLARY WON BIG.
ALSO ALL CANDIDATES WERE ON THE BALLOT INCLUDING JOHN EDWARDS AND HUSSEIN OBAMA..
I SUGGESTED A FAIR SOLUTION WOULD BE 20% PENALTY IN FLORIDA.THIS WAY HILLARY WOULD GET HER 55% AND OBAMA HIS 33%.IN THE CONVENTION EACH DELEGATE WOULD BE COUNTED AS 80%.
HOWARD DEAN WANTED TO PUNISH THE STATE BY 50%.
SO MY SUGGESTION IS GREAT AND IT WILL SEND A MESSAGE FOR THE STATES NOT TO BREAK RULES IN THE FUTURE.
WE MUST FIGHT FOR HILLARY.
WE ARE TALKING OVER 1.5 MILLION VOTERS IN FLORIDA.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYBODY WAS ON THE BALLOT.
OBAMA WON NORTH CAROLINA,MISSISSIPI,SOUTH CAROLINA BECAUSE OF THE BLACK VOTE.ITS NO ACCIDENT THAT IN NORTH CAROLINA 33% OF THE VOTERS WERE BLACKS..92% VOTED FOR OBAMA ONLY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK

The DNC has the integrity of dream team law firm whose whole goal is to win even if the person is guilty. They must stand up for the rules, but it is obvious that they do not care about the "Rule of Law" as they are not pressing for immigration laws to be enforced. Next election all the states should have their primaries the same day as NH and Iowa. THe DNC will let them break the rules anyway.

She is not dumb, she knows something is going to destroy Obama and maybe have order to stay in the race. This is my feeling!!!

OK Hillary now unite and conquer.It time to wipe the smug off the enemies face.Lets take the rich mans money and pillage like they did.Make the republicans sorry in triples.

Let everyone vote. That is their right as Americans. Those votes that were not counted in Flordia and Michigan should be counted. Wasn't that their right as Americans?

That was nice of her. The DNC probably needed a good laugh.

Good idea, OK I changed my party to Rep. Bye Bye Dem. will see you in 4 years or maybe 8.

McCain

Hillary has no case to make with the DNC. She's lost. She cannot get the nomination. She is wounding the party and insisting that it is her right to cause considerable bleeding. Shame on her.

Wow! I've seen more outpouring of support for Senator Clinton in today's comments than in the last month combined.

I think that says a lot about the campaign… and she should continue to fight on because there are tons still fighting for her (and against Obama).

* The Super Delegates haven't "shown up in droves" as Obama supporters suggested

* There is a new wave of excitement for the Clinton campaign

* No word from the DNC or Howard Dean for Senator Clinton to quit

* Senator Clinton's Super Delegates are sticking with her – so they must see something also

* When you look at what is coming from the Republicans in November, Senator Clinton is in a stronger position to win (if the Obama supporters think Senator Clinton is 'negative' wait to they feel the entire brunt of the Republican War Machine in November)

If you really, really want Change… then put someone in the White House that understands how Washington works.

Do you really want Obama spending the first 3 or 4 years trying to figure out how to get things accomplished?

If he couldn't do it in his ONE state what makes you think he can do it for the ENTIRE country.

Don't hate the political process… hire someone who can make it work FOR YOU!

That's what the DNC and the Super Delegates have to be thinking.

Hillary is UNELECTABLE!

The racist vote won't help her against McCain.

The seniors who are her base will not help her against McCain.

African Americans won't vote for her. She has alienated the most loyal members of the Democratic party by allowing her campaign to indulge in racebaiting to earn cheap votes.

She has too much baggage. Anyone who thinks the Clintons have not indulged in any questionable behavior since the 90's would get a rude awakening once they started running against the Republicans.

She thinks she is above the law.

She is a liar. This is indisputable.

Even Bill says she doesn't know what she's talking about after 11pm.

She has no knowledge of economics, just like McCain. She thought Bill was wrong to focus on cutting the deficit while in office and urged him to ignore his economic advisors.

She is a warmongerer, just like Bush/Cheney and McCain.

She says you won't see her holding hands with the Saudis, but they are some of the Clintons' biggest contributors. She is close friends with the Saudis, just like Bush.

Everything she has managed on her own has turned to crap, like her Health Care Plan, as well as her own campaign.

Superdelegates should be able to make their own decisions. After all that's what the party created superdelegates and other complicated rules.

Obama /Richardson 08

NO Hillary for vp NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO N O NO NO NO NO
Would Obama want that bossy that thinks she knows it all fallowing him around and would he want Bill all over the place shadowing him ?

VOTE NO on HILLARY

If these superdelegates are still waiting, they cannot lead.
It did not matter whichever candidate you endorsed.
If you are a leader, you should have seen enough to make your decision by now.
If you cannot lead, let someone else lead.

Has The Gimmick candidate announced she will prove she's worthy of the nomination by levitating yet?

Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything ‘08

People are forgetting that there were others still in the playing at the time of Michigan and Florida voting. It was just not Clinton and Obama. So to be fair, there would have to be some sort of adjustment, and I would have to say that I believe that Clinton would still have won the voting in both states. That is why the Obama team blocked the do-over, for the were afraid that Obama would lose in both states and it would put Hillary Clinton in the front!

Also, Obama WILL NOT be able to beat McCain in November. I for one will write in Hillary's name on my ballot or will vote for McCain before I would ever vote for Obama. He DOES NOT have what it takes to be a President. Obama lacks the talent, skills, knowledge nor experience, so the best he could do would be a "Rookie" (OJT) President and that is truly not what the American people want.

We want a President that has experience, skills, knowledge and talent. The only two that fit that category are McCain and Clinton.

So, WAKE UP AMERICA AND LET US ALL GET BEHIND HILLARY CLINTON AND PUSH HER OVER THE FINISH LINE.

What is she smoking? The math is not there for her. She said it herself in the last debate that she is not dumb. Is she having a senior moment are what? Did she forget how to add and subtract.? I don't care if you turn it upside down, sideways, vertical, horizontal. Even if you include Florida. It does not add up.

joyce in florida,
I have an idea for you..instead of falsifying your information that Barack is BLOCKING the votes in Florida, why don't you call your Florida senators and ask them why the votes aren't going to count..I can bet you that Barack Obamas' name wont even be mentioned in your conversation…i'm sure you wont do this because it's a lot easier to spread lies than to find out the truth.

Sharon from Minnesota..shut the heck up already..you have no idea what you are talking about..i have seen all your posts and you have to be one of the most negative persons on this blog..you want negative, go to Hillarys site..please go away!!!

You Go Senator Clinton – I waited in line to vote and I want it to count!!!

You are the one I voted for and I want to vote for you in November.

Hillary should give it up!. Perhaps Obama can find a place for her in his cabinet as the Secretary of Spin.

I originally supported Hillary but it's time to recognize that Obama has won the nomination convincingly and fairly. To do otherwise hurts the chances of the Democratic Party in November.

Leapfrog – the issue in Florida and Michigan was ORIGINALLY a DNC issue. Wealthy Clinton backers offered to pay for a revote in Florida, but Barack hired lawyers to block it because he is a crooked Chicago-type politician and was afraid of the outcome.

Barack stole my vote for Hillary. Hope he rejoices over that fact when this life-long Democrat votes for McCain in November.

I will NEVER forget that the "great Uniter" stole my vote for Hillary. He won't steal it from McCain. The fact that he stole my vote is Issue #1 for me.

If all his rhetoric about "change" is changing the fact that we're ALL entitled to vote, then I'm afraid he's change for the worse, not change for the better.

TWO HOURS OF HILLARY. DID SHE RUIN YOUR LUNCH OR YOU
JUST COULD'NT EAT AFTER SHE LEFT. BAD STOMACH ACHE?

I BET THE DNC CAN'T STAND UP TO POUNCER!!!!

This is ridiculous. First of all, I regret the way the DNC handled the Michigan and Florida issue, but they should of thought of that before they made the rules. YOU CAN NOT CHANGE THE RULES TO SUIT YOU. Think about what would happen if you changed the rules of any sport in the middle of the game. You just can not do it. It is the leadership of Florida and Michigan's fault and the DNC. Secondly, who is the DNC? These people who followed the rules have voted and have decided they want Obama. They should be counted. Hillary can continue if she wants, but they can not change the outcome just because Bill was once president and Hillary thinks she owns the DNC. Hillary, the people have spoke loud and clear and they do not want you as their president! Plain and simple. If it was Obama, I would be saying the same thing.

if she had gotten any commitments she would have said so.

Some of you people are incredibily uninformed. My family lives in Florida. Did you know that Obama's name WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT in either state. My mom voted for Hillary in Florida because Obama's name was not an option. Also, he DID NOT veto the opportunity to count those states' votes. STOP IT! Please study the facts before posting ridiculous comments. Hillary, I voted for you, but it's time to go!

Chris May 7th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

When you agreed to not include MI and FL prior to any primaries, did you include their delegates? No, you wrote them off like every other candidate.

The number is 2,025 until the Rules committee and the candidates meet on May 31 to decide what to do with MI and FL.

You have only made this an issue for months now because your campaign was not ready on Day 1 for a serious competition for the nomination.

thanks chris

OK let's look at this real close. Clinton was for the DNC not counting the FL and MI votes. Now that she is losing she is whinning and complaning as she has accused Obama. I say if the heat is too hot get out of the kitchen. I have heard her say more than three times she will do whatever it takes to win. Now that it seems that might not happen, now she wants to change the rules (again) and make a case for something that should not even be discussed. Florida and Michigan did what they did now live with it! Stop complaining get over it, lets us bring the party back together so we can look at the real issues of our country and possible stop the bleeding of the American people paying for Bush's retirement throught excessive oil profits!

Tamara, Apparently you didn't see on the numerous articles and news reports that Obama wasn't even on the ballot on MI, since you being an intelligent individual or I'm sure you wouldn't have said that that race was stolen from her. I'm sure you would also realize that rules are put in place for a reason and not changed because of some person having a temper tantrum to get their way.

For all of those who never told a lie, step forward and run for President.

This is not healthy. No good for anyone anywhere. Hillary doesn't care.

Listen, I am a Democratic Woman who fully supports Hillary (and I'm only 44!). Once Obama HAS the nomination in hand, ALL of the votes he needs, I will support him. But he is not there yet. Obama is not so rude and disrespectful to completely write off Hillary Clinton, the first serious female candidate for president but MANY of his supporters are. They are shameful on these posts. This behavior of his supporters, more than ANYTHING Mr. Obama has done, strengthens my fear that Obama is all fluff & style and that his "followers" are not serious people. Stop it!!! You are not being the "change that you seek" to quote your leader! Democrats cannot afford to disenfranchise the fervent Hillary supporters OR the Obama supporters.

More than half of Hillary's supporters believe she wasn't honest or trustworthy when she has made statements like ""I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make sure that one of us takes the oath of office next January. I think that has to be the overriding goal, whatever we have to do.". They do not trust her judgement and will not listen to her and will not vote for Obama. Not much of an endorsement by her own people, is it?

What is the big deal, I did not hear you NEW PEOPLE down play Huckabee when he stayed till the end. YOU HAD IT IN FOR HILLARY
from the start. Will see what kind of TUNE you sing when Obama don't
get in the White House. He said he a Christian. I grew up in church. In my 54 years in church NOT ONCE have I ever heard my pastor my mother say anything like what Rev Wright did about our country. A real Christian would not set in church for 20 years & listen to that. That is why we have a division, in this country. People like Rev Wright.

Hillary is THE ONLY choice that makes sense and the Super delegates need to see it. Florida & Michigan delegates need to be seated if the Dems don't want those 2 states to go to Mccain in November!
The super delegates must do their job and go with Hillary, riots or not. The future of our beloved country is down the line.

Hillary 08

"I think if Hillary cannot use Michigan and Florida's delegate count, then I think that amount should be subtracted from Obama's total delegate count. That would put them on level playing ground."

TALK ABOUT INSANITY. CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULBS ON THE STRING. REMOVE DELEGATES FROM BARACK'S TOTAL THAT HE DID NOT RECEIVE? SEND THIS MESSAGE TO HILLARY. THIS COULD BE HER NEXT STRATEGY TO STEAL WHAT SHE COULD NOT WIN.

DESPARATION IS OOZING OUT OF EVERY POST FROM CLINTON SUPPORTERS. THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON LEFT IN THE DEM CAMPAIGN.

So many are blaming Barack Obama for blocking the vote in Michigan. I just did some research into that and I found a very interesting quote:

"State Rep. Matt Gillard, D-Alpena, said the do-over primary will create as many problems as it solves, including barring participation by Democrats who, because they thought their party's Jan. 15 primary was a farce, voted for a Republican.
"This won't work," Gillard said. "People were told the Jan. 15 primary didn't matter. Now they're being told if they voted in it, they can't vote in one that does matter."

So even if there was a revote, according to Gillard, those who voted for a republican because they could not vote for a democrat will not be able to revote. How do you fix this?

Florida and Michigan broke the rules, even though the DNC forwarned them of the consequences – rewarding them for breaking the rules (48 states did abide by the rules) by counting their votes – what do you think would happen next time during elections? CHAOS as every state will set thier primaries as they deem fit – ignoring the DNC; folks – is this what we democrats want???

The issue in Florida and Michigan was a DNC issue. The democratic party members in both states had ample warning what the consequences would be should they move their primaries forward. Clinton was OK with that decision before Super Tuesday (because she expected to walk away with the nomination). The DNC has authority over this issue. It is a Democratic party issue, not a constitutional issue. Clinton has become delusional if she thinks that Dean will back down on this issue…especially since the majority of democrats back him up on this. Anyone in Florida and Michigan knew about this before the election day, and there were no legal challenges then. It is highly improper to follow the rules until you don't like the results and then try to change the rules after the fact so they satisfy you…

It is now impossible for Clinton to win the majority of the popular vote (her back up plan), and the odds are even higher for her to get the required 2,025 delegate count. Even with Florida and Michigan in her corner, she'd have to win every remaining primary with 75% of the vote or higher to win.

It's time for her to concede defeat.

Joyce from FL. I have one question. Did you know that in order for a re-vote to take, or a ballot my mail to take it had to be voted on by the Legistlature in both FL and MI? Do you know what the legistlature in both states did. They choose to go home rather than take a vote one way or another. Neither state had the decency to make a choice one or another. Instead they choose to act like nothing was wrong and go home. Now I want to know the same thing other bloggers have asked: how in the world is Obama, or Clinton for that matter responsible for the actions of Republican controlled state legistlatures? They aren't. Neither Clinton or Obama could have forced the legistlature in either state to make a choice. The legistlature in both states knew full well what was on the line, and they choose to sit back and do nothing. These are Republicans. And then you call yourself a democrat and have the nerve to say if Hillary doesn't get the nomination you will vote for McCain who is a Republican. Even though his party has already disenfranchised the voters in both MI and FL. Wake up people!! If you can honestly afford another 4 years of Bush-McCain then by all means cut off your nose to spite your face, but if you are like most Americans who are losing jobs, paying high gas prices, and have loved ones on their 3rd and 4th tour of duty in Iraq then the choice is simple. Vote democrat come this Fall or continue the downward spiral America is on.

If, and when, Obama does finally win this, the Hillary defeat will go down as the biggest CHOKE by any politician …. EVER! Going into this election she had everything : Name recognition, wife of a popular ex-president, two term Senator, cash flowing into her coffers on a daily basis, "Ready Day One" with her 35,000 years of experience, the "Inevitable Candidate", No Worries, just bring on the Rep challenger!

They will be writing books for years about one of the worst campaigns ever run. The second-guessing, the backroom hysterics, the gnashing of teeth, the finger-pointing will go on for a very, very, very long time …..

Obama '08!

Hillary claims that she will unite the party but pitches to the superdelegates that her supporters may never back Obama. She wants it both ways. Why don't they just seat the Florida delegates based on the voting and split the Michigan delegates since Obama wasn't on the ballot. He still wins regardless. Give up Hillary!!

Yesterday I received a call from Obama's campaign asking for money. What was notable about the call was the disrespectful and disdainful way the Obama worker spoke of Clinton and the whole primary process. The call was so negative that I was completely turned off. Obama's campaign seems to think that letting people vote is a bother and they have no respect for Sen. Clinton (a current 2 term Senator, former first lady, and the first viable woman presidential candidiate).
That phone call summed up so many problems with Obama's approach to the Democratic Party and Presidency.
I will not support Obama.
I will write in Hillary in November if I have to.

Hillary is my choice for President. I can not absolutely vote for McCain. The only way I would be comfortable voting for Obama would be if she was the vice President. But, I am still hopeful for her to be the top of the ticket.

common sense: hillary can not win the nomination

respect to her and bill for there services to your country.

people are coming up with excuses to not vote for Obama.

1. Pastor – Obama is NOT rev. wright and OBVIOUSLY does not share the same views.

2. Obama has done a lot for workers.. why do u think he has the support?

3. Clearly not an elitist compared to Mccain and Clinton.

4. Sticks to his PRINCIPLES and to MORAL VALUES.

5. RULES ARE RULES – they both agreed FL and MI would NOT count. you dont change the rules in the middle of a football game do u? AND Howard Dean DNC chair has said that u have to respect the other states that followed the rules.

You guys need to remember that.

I also think that a lot of people are coming up with excuses not to vote for Obama? why?

Not long ago ppl would say they really dont have much differences in policies.

SO WHY WOULD CLINTON SUPPORTERS VOTE mccain???? that is BEYOND ANY COMMON SENSE OR GOOD JUDGEMENT.. I would go as far as saying it is an immature and ridiculous protest, only because the person u wanted didnt get it…

If the Democratic Party unites… u guys will win in novemver, doesnt matter if its Obama or Clinton. simple as.

I'm not American… but I have been, and i respect. but I'm beginning to question why it is called the "United" states of America at all..

Americans UNITE, the world doesn't need a 3rd Bush term and for ur OWN sake, for ur own INTERNATIONAL reputation… the world wants to see u guys do well… rally behind nominee and support him all the way. Stop debating over petty differences and UNITE

I AGREE VERY MUCH SO WITH NOBUBBAGUMP. LOL

Can`t handle the truth. It`s easy to win if you have your own news staff.

Homi,

Speaking of the excuses the Clintonians use to reverse the people's choice, can you tell us why if Clinton has a broader base , has failed miserably to raise funds for her campaign. If Obama's base is made up only of blacks and young people (at least according to the feeble arguments Clinton presents), two groups that have NO MONEY, how is it that he has consistently outperformed her in fund raising? I could go on and on and ask questions about each of the silly arguments you guys make to reverse the will of the people, but I will answer the above one first.

I'm getting tired of hearing people say "If Hillary got the nomination, there may be a "black out" where black people would stay home. Can she win if that happens?".

First of all, that's racism at it's finest and it gets tiring seeing black people openly being racist without anyone saying a word about it.

Secondly, if we reverse that and have Obama get the nomination and have a "white out" where all the white democrats stay home, do you think he'd win?

You see how asinine and racist the first question is?

I SUPPORT HILLARY AND CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO HER CAMPAIGN DESPITE TED BAREETT

Hillary is a person who cannot even honor her own words and her own signatures. Go back and check what she signed and agreed to on FL/MI when the race started.

How could a rule changer like this even have a moral claim to Presidency ..? Oh, well it runs in the family, right?. Look no further than the impeachment scandal of Bill

Write in Hillary in November if Obama is awarded the nomination. He is too inexperienced to be President and with the mess our country is in we cannot afford to take another chance on an inexperienced, unspecific candidiate. Obama and his hate-filled short-sighted supporters have convinced me to stand with Hillary even if she does not become the Democratic Party's nominee. I will not support Obama or the mess created by the DNC. Obama will lose in November – he cannot win seniors, Catholics, Latinos, or blue collar workers. He will lose the vital swing states.

Write – In Hillary in November.

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE BETTER AND STRONGER CANDIDATE. IF THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE EXPOSED OBAMA'S HATE FOR WHITE PEOPLE EARLIER, AS HE SAT IN THE PEWS OF THE SO-CALLED REV. WRIGHT FOR 20 YEARS LISTENING TO HATE. AND REMEMBER WHAT IS A "TYPICAL" WHITE WOMEN, JUST SOME STUPID PERSON PAYING THE WAY FOR OBAMA. HE'S TAKING THE MONEY OF WHITE WOMEN, "TYPICAL" WHITE WOMEN ANYWAY. IF HILLARY SAT IN THE PEWS FOR 20 YEARS AND LISTENED TO HATE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE A LONG TIME AGO. WAKE UP AMERICA IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HILLARY IS PICKING UP THE VOTES AND COULD HAVE DONE SO IF THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE EXPOSED OBAMA EARLIER. IF HE WAS A WHITE MAN LISTENING TO HATE SERMONS FOR 20 YEARS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE. I DO NOT SEE HOW OBAMA EVEN REPRESENTS BLACK AMERICANS WHEN HIS GRANDMOTHER IS A "TYPICAL" WHITE WOMEN. WAKE UP AMERICA HILLARY IS THE BETTER CANDIDATE. SHE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE. OBAMA NEEDS TO STEP DOWN NOW. SUPERDELEGATES I HOPE YOUR READING THIS OR ARE YOU JUST THE "TYPICAL" PERSON.

Obama Fargon 08 REV.WRIGHT SEC OF STATE

I agree with NoBubbaGump. Obama will not win in November, no way no how. The DNC needs to stop the charade and admit that Obama is going to lose big time in November. I will never vote for Obama and I have voted for the Democratic nominee every time since 1972.

I have to say that the news media has been so slanted towards Obama that you do not even understand the moderates any more. Obama has so much baggage that is why you want the election process to end. When Hillary brings it up, and rightfully so, the news media is the one that says Hillary is going negative. Yet, when Obama goes negative, it really is not negative, it is bringing up the facts.

For Howard Dean: You are the worst DNC chairperson ever. Florida and Michigan should revote you dummy. You are dumber than a rock. You punish the people for actions they have no control over. You caused the party to lose, not Hillary.

For Hillary, keep going and do not give up. Someday, America will wake up about Obama and say you were right. It is a shame that the left wing news media trounced you and would not report the news. Best wishes and God Bless. Wake UP Democrats. You are about to throw the election to the GOP!!! GO HILLARY!!!

Anybody who thinks Clinton is more electable than Obama in the GE really knows squat about politics and should really just be ignored.
Do the math regarding electability based on a NET 10% loss to the Democrats (if Clinton were handed the nomination from here on in) in 2008, in 2012, in 2016, in 2020, in 2024 and in 2030!
The AA vote would abandon the Dmocrats for 30 years and nobody but nobody would ever blame them! To the Clinton supporters who "will vote for McCain" think about that very carefully, you will be Republicans for a very long time!
The "vote for McCain Democrats" would not even begin to cover the loss of the AA vote…do the math honestly!

It's about time to quit this insane race.

So, please, give it up, Mr Obama.

Weren't Wright and Rezko not enough for you? They were for me!

This will be over the night of the Oregon Primary, May 20, 2008.
Hillary will finally concede and put the Democratic party first. Clinton supporters will be upset, rightfully so, but will come home Nov. 2 and Americans can finally change this country in the right direction.

Obama 08

Well, according to all you Obama worshippers out there, it's over for Hillary. If that is the case, Ralph Nader will get my vote, or, for the first time I will not cast my vote – I will stay home. Thanks for all the hatred and discord you immature Obama robots have caused our party. You are causing our party to lose this election…nobody in their right mind will vote for an inexperienced person, even if he has charisma…I will not vote for him, no matter what.

BubbaGump cannot even spell SOUL must be brainwashed by Hillary

Fear is a terrible thing to waste

Here's a thought . . .

Hillary should use some of that “testicular fortitude” to do the right thing! The fat lady has been humming for quite a while. Well, now she's singing!!

SAVE YOUR MONEY HILLARY!

If your supporters refuse to support Obama . . . we’re all going to need it!!!

What was said in the meeting? I highly doubt they were convincing her to drop out the race because the meeting would not have lasted two hours.

It's all about Hillary.
She needs to finish her campaign for 2012 – and securing the nomination for McCain in 2008. That will open the door for her in 2012.
It's all about Hillary.
Why shouldn't we let her continue to ruin it for all of us?

Democrats for Hillary, unite and write in her name in November. We can make our voices heard……Let the DNC do their damage, we can make her the winner….

they better listen to her, obama doesn't connect with seniors, blue collar, and catholics. they are the core of the democratic party. she wins big states. obama wins big red states that will go to mccain in the general. she can beat mccain, obama can't.

Give Sen Clinton Mi and FL base it on the average that she won iin states which is 52 %

Clinton 1686 + 52% of 368 = 1876
Obama 1845 + 48% of 368 = 2021

Go Obama / Edwards 08

CONGRESSIONAL PRODUCER TECHINICIAN BARRETT , AN OBAMA SUPPORTER STOPPING COMMENTS AGAINST OBAMA .

Hillary wishes we had "elections" like Russia. Where is Putin when she needs him?

I am so sick of people bashing Hillary Clinton. People are voting for her…people are supporting her…She should stay in till the end. All her life she has had people telling her to quit, she is a hero to all. This is not over…..it will not be over till August. Everyone just needs to get used to that fact. She is not dividing the party…people's negativity is dividing the party.

Why do these modern Democrats act like old Republicans now?

Where was Ted Kennedy today?

Why didn't Obama also get invited to the meeting with Nancy Pelosi today?

I am so sick and tired of the sexism and misogyny that has been both under the surface and blatantly displayed in this primary season. Everyone is so readily attuned to even a hint of racism but the same people turn a blind eye to overt sexism. The media has been guilt of rampant sexism in this campaign and have held the female candidiate to a much tougher standard than her male opponent. It is so sad that our nation remains so sexist in the year 2008.
When she campaign in NH,, a few men yelled "Iron my Shirts" at Clinton at a rally and no one seemed to care. Just imagine if a similar slight had been based on race and aimed at Obama – everyone would have been outraged..
Well that same sexism has carried through this campaign – both in the media, from Obama himself, and certainly from his supporters and bloggers.
Racism is wrong and so is sexism.

Don't blame the Republicans for the mess you Demos find yourselfs in, The Obama phenomenon took the DNC by surprise. Hillary was supposed to be the nominee and had she been allowed to expose him earlier. She would have this wrapped up. Hillary is the only one that can beat McCain.

Obama is damaged goods. Blame Wright and Ayers, not the Republicans or HIllary.

The commentators on CNN have been saying "The superdelegates need to support the will of the people". The WILL of the people must also include the voters will from Florida and Michigan. 50 states need to select a candidate, not 48. The "math" looks different if Florida and Michigan are included.

Why can't we let this primary run it's course, and STOP the bullying. I had to turn the Larry King Live show off tonight — don't want to listen to the one-sided arguments and the pressure. Let the contest finish naturally — the Democrats will have a candidate that they can rally around. Then focus on the general election.

B.O. for prez cool! NOW IT'S UP TO THE SUPER D'S.THEY ACT LIKE THEY NEED BILLERY'S APPROVAL TO CHOOSE.

She made her point. Pelosi is now saying that she needs to stay in the race. Good for her. we don't want the Obama fanatics to control our government.

No bama in 08. Hillary or McCain.

BubbaGump,

Your true colors are showing! Shame on you. Are you bitter?? Kinda sounds like you are on Hillary's math team. My advise to you . . . STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!!!

If the old ladies wanna go, LET THEM!

EVERYONE MUST BE GIVEN A VOTE/VOICE FOR THIS SYSTEM TO WORK.

You Obama whimsies! Since when did Obama have the authority to dictate whose vote to be counted or not.USA is not an empire,unless obama's whimsical change is in the direction!

I find it sad that the demicatic party is not working together at this time. I feel in my heart and soul that Hillary Clinton is the one person who can honestly turn this country around, get the respect of those countries thar have been fed up with us, and stop the tearing down of this country.
I find it sad that those people who hate the Clintons and vote for Obama will not be there in the fall. I can't help but feel that those people who have voted for Obama in the primaries will either not vote at all or vote for McCain.
Don't get me wrong, I think that with a few years behind him Obama will be a great President, just not right now.
Hillary is the best choice for right now, why can't people see this?

I'm a precinct captin for Obama… C'mon Hillary fans… you are soooooo welcome to get on this bus.

She fought a GREAT fight, but it's over now. It's time for us Dems to take it to the GOP!

How I love America!

WHAT WE ARE FACING IS FOUR GROUP OF PEOPLE, ONE GROUP THAT LOVE CLINTON, THE OTHER LOVE OBAMA, ONE GROUP WHO DISLIKE CLINTON, AND ONE GROUP WHO DISLIKE OBAMA.

MY PLEA TO THE GROUP THAT HATE THE OTHER CANDIDATES IS THIS. IS YOUR HATE FOR OBAMA STRONGER THAN YOUR LOVE FOR HOPE, DREAM, AND CHANGE?
LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS THE WAR HAS PUT THE COUNTRY IN A VERY BAD SITUATION, AND TO CONTINUE THE WAR WILL KEEP AMERICA GOING DEEPER AND DEEPER IN THE HOLE. McCain promise to continue the war, and though he might have experience he promise to continue bush policy, what shall we DO?

all states in USA should have the vote. Otherwise the election is not valid.

Obama-2nd Carter Term

Count the Florida and Michigan votes. Every American should have a vote in this election.

Rush should be arrested for some kind of voter fraud conspiracy. The right to vote is nothing to play with. Many people have given their life for women and minorities to have the right to vote. People that did this should lose their right to vote! How can we trust the system to be honest when people glorify in this kind of behavior!

I have voted Democrate most of my life… and if it comes down to Obama vs McCain, I'm going with McCain. The people of this country voted for an ignorant fool not once, but twice. Now, the opposite end of the spectrum is going to do the same thing.

Why is it that all the Black people vote for Obama? It is wise to say that all colors are voting for him, but something like 90% of the blacks are voting for him. Sounds like a racist bunch of people to me.

Cant wait to see how Rev Wright hosting the Soal Train Dance Awards LIVE from The White House.

Math tells me that Obama would still win even if they seat the FL and Michigan delegates, but I don't belive it. Math is controlled by men.

OK CNN ANY TIME THAT ANYONE SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR GUY YOU LEAVE THEM IN MODERATION!

DO YOU THINK THIS IS FAIR?

OH WHAT THE HELL YOU GUYS ARE NOT FAIR ANYWAY!!!!!!!

YOU HAVE PROPPED UP THIS NOBODY FROM THE START BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT McCAIN CAN BEAT HIM!!!!!!

SOME OF US ARE ON TO YOU!!!!!!!

WHAT A BUNCH OF FAKES!!!!!!!

I SUPPORT HILLARY!!!!!!!! GO ALL THE WAY GIRL!!!!!!

The Chairman of the DNC should sit with Hillary and have her outline her strategy for getting the required number of delegates. Should she be unable to present a credible argument, supported by facts and numbers, she should be presented with a dignified exit route. To allow a foregone conclusion to extend further, can only serve to get the worst out of Senator Clinton, as she will, out of desperation, be forced to be nastier than she has been.

Why won't you talk about peter paul vs. hillary clinton case

So Hillary stays in, all primaries are completed, all if not most super delagates have advised who they are backing, Obama is ahead, at that time, what will Hillary do? I think that is the fear of many. I have no problem her staying in the race but at what point will it end. We can't do the Clinton math but going by the rules of the DNC. When will it all end and will we be in one piece at that time.

Why is Obama being blamed for the mess that Florida and Michigan find themselves? You can't change the rules of the game because you aren't winning.

McClinton is running the campaign that the "old dude" will use after she realizes her math "doesn't add up".

I'm sure his supporters are laughing their way the the White House!

IT IS SO CLEAR THAT SHE PUTS HER SELF FIRST WHEN SHE CLAIMS TO GIVE PEOPLE A FEW DOLLARS ON GAS TAX HELP. BECAUSE THEY NEED THE HELP SO BAD BUT THE FIRST SENTENCE OF HER VICTORY OR SO CALLED VICTORY SPEACH. SHE IS ASKING PEOPLE FOR MONEY .SHE IS JUST SELFISH AND CAN NOT ADMIT A LOST SO SHE IS GRASPING AT ANY STRAW SHE CAN FIND.

I'm From Michigan , Obama And his Campaign BLOCKED The Re-vote Here In Michigan . He Will Not Get My Vote . If He makes it To the General Election . I Feel The Democratic Party Has Given Us A Bad Choice If Obama Gets The Nomination , And I Will Vote For Sen. John McCain !!!!. I'd Rather Have 4 Years Of John McCain As President , Than 1 Day Of Obama !!!

Obama Has Pissed Off This Michigan Democrat !!!!!!!!!

Even if it means I have to write her name in on my ballot in November. Never Obama and not McCain – Hillary '08.
Write – In Hillary!

besides patholoigical liar, swindler of senior citizens (Whitewater)

she has some serious COMPULSIVE DISORDER

must be related to the fact that she cared not very much about her husband's philandering.. not important to her. .

just the pursuit of her own fame, fortune, agenda..

and SHE CAN'T LET GO!! Her grip on the THROTTLE is FROZEN!!

A Corpse in a runaway car!

WHO in their RIGHT MIND wants THIS (DE-MENT)ALITY running the country?

no judgement, no savoir faire.. just pure mean blind aggression

DOES NOT REPRESENT MY VALUES!!! money power grubbing scum!

Please Fla. keep your votes you did enough the last two elections and look where we are now.
Best advice I can give you is whoever you think is good vote the other way!!

And I take offense to Hillary praying on the people in rural America portraying them as stupid because they are uneducated and are in dire need of her flying in like wonder woman to save them from themselves.

Talk about elitist.

Be patient my Obama friends. Hillary Clinton will step down soon enough. Hillary is trying to maintain her dignity and appear tough. It's sort of like the Bush administration. Remember how long it took for Alberto Gonzalez to step down. They were trying to play tough. The Clintons aren't dumb. They will do the right thing and support Obama.

In a democracy, voters must be heard. The voters in Florida can't be blamed for bad decisions made by the state legislature. Of course, Florida and Michigan must be seated at the convention even if they are forced to vote present on the first round vote.

Hillary should finish the primary course and then leave with dignity. She knew the rules from the start regarding FL and MI. She even stated in an interview that the votes in these states would not count. Unfortunately, that was when she was considered the front-runner. The table has turned. Even Rush Limbaugh has left her standing. But then he still could be on illegal prescription drugs and suffering from confusion and hallucinations.

To those Hillary fans who won't support Obama, why don't you switch party affiliations. To every 10 of you Obama will register 100 who will support his candidacy. You only hurt the Democratic Party when you stoop to such tactics. And this is about the DEMOCRATIC PARTY you idiots!!!!!!!

Here we go!

Billary is surely pressuring the DNC with old ties and future promises. That is the way of old politics and what the new voices in America want to escape. It's un-American and the reason we find ourselves in our current position.

It's time for the old guard to step aside and allow the will of the people to be heard and demonstrated. It's time for the next generation. We cannot afford to continue to behave and be perceived as we are. We are better than we have become.

What has to happen before we wake up???

OBAMA in 08 and 12!!

Quote from Cory, Fl: "i'm from florida and will not vote in the fall if my vote deosnt count now, and i know of alot of people who say the same thing, but i know some say they will vote for McCain, if you dont count us now, dont count us come this fall"

Yep, I bet three years down the line when were still in Iraq and the economy is even further into a recession, you will be thinking "Man, I'm so happy I based my vote entirely on spite!"

Michigan and Florida have local ballots to vote on well before November. Lets put Hillary and Obama on those upcoming tickets and see who comes out ahead. EVERY PERSON WHO VOTES MUST COUNT IF THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO WORK ! ! !

The super delegates do not want to clean up Hillary's mess. Both Barack and Hillary AGREED to the rules set forth regarding Florida and Michigan. Now Mr HRC wants to change the rule so she can make another mess. They will be seated but in a fair way only. She is too wishy washy for me.

GO OBAMA.

FL and MI can take their anger out on their STATE's political leaders! You voted them in. If you're not happy with how they've represented your interest, vote them out. BUT, don't get at mad at the folks who followed the rules! Give credit where credit's due: your STATE's political personnel.

we are not going to vote for Obama in fall if he runing from Democratic party……this country will destroy if Obama is president of this country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton is likely to do more good than harm for the party by continuing to the end. While there's still a contest, the Reagan democrats and those likely not to hear Senator Obama out, would most likely to listen to Hillary. Of-course, this all depends on what she says. I think the party should hear her out.

Keep it up. The more you scream you won't vote for Obama, only Hillary, the Obama people become more determined not to vote for Hillary. If you are trying to trash the Dem. Party, which in turn will hurt Hillary in the future, as well as Obama, keep it up. Good job of stabbing both of them in the back.

If you care about substance in a presidential candidate, you're for Hillary Clinton. Listen for substance, people. Don't settle for feel-good rhetoric. We have serious problems in this country and need the most capable person we can get to lead this country.

Don't take my word for it–compare Clinton's and Obama's views on the issues, in their own words, on their own websites. The more knowledgeable, thorough and capable person is clear.

Hillary stays in this fight because she believes what any intelligent person should believe . . . substance matters.

I do not know why these clintons are making it a do or die to go back to the whitehouse. And since they will not be able to 'do' it, then they have to '…'

There's a reason she hasn't given up. She's not a quitter. Isn't that what we need now?

Thank you Never Give Up Hillary !

please vote for hillary, then she will be out of my state, and she won't be my senator anymore. then the rest of America can see what a lying "bleep" she really is.

HILLARY=3rd CLINTON TERM

Hillary, please, stop this already. It's not up to anyone else but you. Are you the only one in this country that can't see the writing on the wall? You threw everything you could possibly dig up at Obama, and it didn't work. You eked by in Indiana, and got blown out in North Carolina. Even Rush Limbaugh couldn't help you. You've borrowed millions out of your own personal account just to keep this train wreck of a campaign going. And now you're asking the Democratic Party to overturn the will of the voters? Do you actually believe the people are so fickle to allow the party leaders to trample on their votes and still, in the end, vote for you? Are you so naive that you would think they would bow to your every whim and wish and do that? IT'S OVER. Please, just let it go already. Nobody's going to call for your concession; it's all up to you. You can either go out with your pride and your head held high and admit defeat, or you can continue to keep this thing going and become the epitome of the word "sore loser." If you truly care about the Democratic Party and its chances for victory this November, you will do the right thing and drop out of this race as soon as possible. Forget June or after Oregon or even after West Virginia and Kentucky. Drop out tomorrow. Spare us another day of this wretched campaign. America is ready for the main event, and they want Obama-McCain. Let's get this going. Please, Hillary, drop out. Have some pride, for God's sake, and concede.

It is democratic to fight for the neglected,abandoned,despised et. cetra et.cetra.This world of greed and selfishness,you offer a finger and they want to chop your all arm!!!

I have every confidence in Hillary Clinton. Her tenacity in this contest for the presidency shows me that she will be able to HOLD HER OWN when she deal with foreign affairs, probably one of the most crucial areas of the presidency.

I just can't see Obama sitting among the mid-East leaders–dictators–and making any progress in what he wants from them.

He is very naive in his strategies–actually, I haven't see any stategies.

I will fill out my Oregon ballot here at home tonight. We vote by mail here in Oregon.

I will choose Hillary Clinton for president.

Question:

The court said that Hillary didn't have to testify in
May for the Paul vs. Clinton case until after
the November election. But if she drops out now,
the beginning of May, wouldn't that make it possible
for her to go ahead and now testify?
Could be a reason to not drop out yet.

I wish the media would report fairly regarding Hillary Clinton, and also ask Obama some much needed questions about his plans.

Only 38% voted in NC!! I don't usually agree with Rush Limbaugh, but he is right about Obama being weaker against McCain. I will never vote for Obama. If he gets the nomination, I will either not vote or vote for McCain.

There is no case. You lose go back to work.

Go Obama / Edwards 08

Just like John Stewart said … she'll still be running after Obama's inauguration as President of the United States in January 2009.

I have just donated to Barack's campaign for the 8th time and so far I have recruited more than 15 more new donors from my personnal contact list. It's pointless to try and go against the will of the people …
Yes we can!

Hillary has lied to your face. Do you think she would have any qualms about lying in a BOOK ? ? ? And she will . . .

For those people in Michigan and Florida that went out to vote, you feel that you are being disenfranchised but what about the people who listened to the local officials who said that the votes would not count so they did not vote for the democratic nominee. Are they not in fact also disenfranchised if you seat the delegates? What about the fact that Barack Obama was not even on the ballot because he followed the rules in Michigan, for those people who would have voted for him not also going to be disenfranchised?

This whole mess is the SOLE fault of your local officials. Stop trying to blame everyone else.

I have really had it with the lot of those who continue to blame and complain about something that was the fault of the STATE'S OFFICIALS. Grow up and take your fight to the right people.

Hillary stay in there. The superdelegates will go with the person who they deem will win the Presidential Election. They aren't going to sweat the primaries nor the popular vote. They want a nominee that will will the Republicans. This is the raw truth Obama followers.
I'm 100% behind Hillary. She has been given a raw deal throughout this primary season, and I for one will not forget what the DNC and the press have done to her due to their favoritism of Obama.
The Obama people scream when they have the slightest inkling that he has the press against him. They scream racist at the drop of a hat, I am sick of their arrogant, know it all, sickening negativity towards Hillary, Bill, their daughter, and their total lack of respect or understanding of what the Clintons have accomplished for the American people.
You can count me out for voting for Obama because I don't trust him, believe in his vague expressions with nothing to back it up, and his nasty band of groupies.
Hillary 08 She's gonna blow your minds, watch!

Obama is finished thanks to the Dems.

Vote Republican '08

This is a fraud. Not seating Florida and Michigan disenfranchises voters in these states and the Dems will lose in Nov.

Watch out for the Nuclear Option. Hillary will do anything to win something sher feels she has a divine right to.
She is trying to change the rules of the game regarding Fl and Mi.
Give it up it is over!!!!!!

To all the people going on and on about Hillarys win in the major states of California, New York, New Jersey, etc.

a. Obama was not running against a Republican, he was running against a fellow democrat. In the general election, if those whose heads are so far up their bums can take them out and see what is better for the party by voting for Obama when he takes the Dem. nomination, then he will have NO PROBLEM AT ALL winning those states.

b. And in those large state losses, Obama carried the vast majority of Republicans and Independents that crossed over to vote for him in those primaries.

c. Do you really think California, New York and New Jersey wont go Democrat this year?

Honestly, why do you people think us young people are fed up with the political process?

Apathetic Democrat for Obama 08

The superdelegates are responsible for all this mess with Hillary. She is an ordinary politishian that is obviously loosing. What do they need more to decide. If they can not decide the party should not leave it up to them and change its stupid rules.

I couldn't said it better myself msj! People just think about putting people down not realizing what damage they are doing to themselves and of course to the Dem Party. Reps are enjoying every bit of this!

People, please think a little, think!!!!

What a travisty!! Count Florida and Michigan, they should have counted when they voted and then this entire long process would have ended a long time ago. Obama has made it clear that he doesn't want them to count. I will not vote for Obama!

UNITE AS ONE PARTY

Listen to the Speaker of the House! "The race is not over!!!!!. Speaker Pelosi ,knows what the pundits haven't a clue of.

Obama will win the battle but lose the war. Sure, everyone likes to hear the word "change", but I for one have not heard much substance in his speeches.

As a moderate, I think the only way he can win in November is to choose a very seasoned running mate. I would vote for Clinton first, McCain second, and Obama third. Obama's losses in the big states should be a real wake-up call. He is just a tad too liberal and way too inexperienced for the main stream.

Thanks Dems! You did it to yourself's and you deserve what your about to get! McCain '08

If it were winner take all in delegates like republicans did….then Hillary would already be our nominee a long time ago…..I will not ever vote for Obama!!

Obama will NEVER move Hill supporters….so go ahead and PUSH her out with your unfair tactics; the media pressure to drop out and not counting Florida and Michigan. If Obama wanted the votes counted we would count them or be called racists.

We will vote for McCain superdelegates, wait and see!

Clinton should mention all the voting problems…and ESS AIS voting machine problems in many states…..is'nt Obama supporter Chuck Hagel still affiliated with McCarthy Group (ESS AIS)…loook at blackboxvoting.org…….lots of problems resembles George Bush and 2000 race

NEWFLASH FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS

EVEN IF FL AND MI ARE GIFTED TO HER SHE STILL CANNOT WIN SO STOP WHINEING!!!!!!

That is all!

Hillary is in some serious debt, what I really hear her saying is she is in this race until she gets her 11.5 million back that she loaned her campaign, and all of her debts are paid off. That is the only justification I can see. It is mathematically impossible for her to be the nominee.

CNN I know that you are good friends with Hillary so please. Tell her to quit so that we can beat the GOP in November…..

thanks

The only reason Clinton is fighting so hard for Mi and Fl to count is cause she needs the vote, not because she wants "the voice of the American voter to be heard" she could have cared less when both states broke the rules cause she thought she was going to win. Especialy since only her name was on the ballots. So basically the only American votes that count are the ones for her….SNOB!!

Gotta love the Clintons…
Let's say you have a basketball game between two colleges. It's meant to take place at a public gym. That gym gets closed down for a code violation, so the two teams agree not to play the game. They even sign an agreement saying that they will not participate in the game.

On the day the game is scheduled, one team – team Clinton – shows up. They start shooting the basketball though the hoop. Sometimes they miss, but they make about half of their shots.

Later, when the standings for the teams are being calculated, team Clinton starts screaming "We won that game! It should count!"

HOW ELSE CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT.

The Clinton Motto: CHEAT TO WIN!

The DNC and RNC established the rules for their primaries. If they didn't also establish consequences for not abiding by those rules, the rules would be meaningless. For those who feel disenfranchised, blame the Florida and Michigan politicians by voting them out of office. As for me, I'm an independent voter who is disenfranchised during every primary election in Florida. I believe the closed primary process only encourages extreme political agendas and is part of the reason we don't have more candidates with broader popular appeal.

I think its time to go nuclear on Billary. She is clearly a GOP plant out to destroy the Dems.

Obama 08

This is stupid! I thought the people running our country had some brains! But, after last night she should call it quits. But, the DNC should tell her "THAT'S IT!" And, for all of those voters in Florida, stop crying, this is your states fault! If you have a problem it's with them, not with Obama.

Stop, throwing tantrums until you get your way. Just, like a child that throughs a trantrum in public, you don't ignore them. You whoop that Butt!

How can she be ready on day one when he can't understand simple, MATH! Get a life. Oh, yeah! Now we hear that she loaned her campaign 6.4 million dollars! Why, loan your campaign 6.4 million, if you had 10 million come in before.

And, sounds like someone is an "ELITES," to loan yourself 6.4 million, oh how has the table turned!

Hillary it is time you put america first – and the clinton ambition a distant second.

Stop trying to divide the party, and step aside.

New Yorkers will not forget the divisiveness you brought to the democrats come re-election for senate.

If you love your country like you proclaimed, then do the right thing and step aside.

lmao hahaha SHES STILL TRYING

Have already given to Hillary, She must stay in the primary the people want her to be president, I will not vote in the main election if she does not get to stay in. What is the matter with this median, they are not being fair with her just
Cause she is a woman. We need the change; I know I'm not the only one that feels this way. She needs to stay in till the last dog goes home. If she doesn’t get that chance to stay in, if I vote at all I will vote for McCain. She is a Great Politicians and we need her for president. It is not fair the way you mediam or the other news tv is treated her.

We are not backing down just because Obama says, "He's closer to the nomination." Screw that! Push on Hillary!!! We will support you to the very end.

Go Clinton!!!!!!

Be not deceived…….

Hillary—————Republican

Obama————–Democrat

McCain—————-Independent

McCain has no chance in the fall. Look at Louisiana. The race is now!!!! Hillary is running as Republican and Obama as the Democrat. Rush Limbaugh is supporting the candidate he wants to win. DON'T BE FOOLED!

I just love the seemingly infinite number of hillary supporters who have somehow gotten it into their foggy minds that hillary is more popular than Obama, despited repeated polls showing that in a general election, Obama has the higher chance of winning.
It'd be nice if they'd at least stop using the exact same tactics as her for once and instead of calling informed voters "sheep" and complaining that black people like barack too much when he wins, they would actually support the candidate who hasn't alienated more than 50% of the country.

Terrence in Winston Salem, NC, Senator Obama is and has been BLOCKING votes in Florida and Michigan. YOU are the ignorant one!!! As far as I am concerned, Senator Obama is the bad guy. You are so delusional or something that you can't see it. Maybe you are so captivated by his empty rhetoric speeches. Hillary Clinton has every right to fight for our votes. We in Florida did nothing wrong. It was our republican legislature that moved the date up; not the voters. We spoke our mind and Hillary Clinton won our state fair and square. So keep your ignorant comments to yourself. As far as Michigan, they were all set for a revote and Senator Obama blocked that also even though he stated he would go along with whatever the DNC said. Well the DNC said it was "a go". But guess what? Obama blocked it. So the SAD story goes on. What a pathetic man he is. GO HILLARY 08!!!

Oh and by the way … I am sure the Florida and Michigan delegations will be seated, but not the way Hillary wants it. They will probably pledge half their delegation to each candidate. After all, Obama was not even on the ballot, and hillary only got 55% of the vote. In Florida, in October, no one even knew who Obama was, and he never campaigned there. In addition in both states EVERYONE knew the vote wouldn't count. Can you honestly say how many people did not vote because they knew it wasn't going to count? Let's be real, Hillary is pressing for unfair and illegal (by DNC party rules) elections to be sanctioned by the national party. This is not a third world country. There is no way the people of this country will tolerate that.

Hillary, you are disgusting. You agreed that Florida and Michigan should not be counted, but now that you need them the democratic party should let them in. You obviously have no sense of fair play, or maybe you're just trying to get you 6 million back. I never thought I would say this, but I would rather have 8 more years of George Bush than have to deal with the likes of you. Take Bill, baby clinton, and yourself, and just go home!!!!!

Our soldiers have died and continue to die in the name of democracy. This primary process — particularly the dirty politics being played by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and the Clinton machine — is a disgrace to their sacrifices.

Okay team Obama. Let's not antagonize the Clinton team. We need to be united to beat McCain. Hillary will do the right thing and bow out soon.

Sharon in Minnesota needs a reality check. It was not Barack who threw "the kitchen sink" at Hillary Clinton. This woman is in it for one reason only – to redeem herself for being so humiliated by her husband Bill Clinton who enjoyed himself to the hilt at the taxpayers' expense. She feels she is entitled to move back into the White House head held high. That is NO reason to nominate her as President of this country. Voting for McCain because you are "disappointed" or "mad" is insane. If you want 4 more years of Bush, then go for it. That move would dictate that you are not a real democrat. Just a make believe one – like HRC.

SHAME ON THE DNC!

Who is the elitist??
Look at what she said after protester held up sign about Iran comments.
She is staying in using her own money!!
Her staying in the race is making a lot of Democrats bitter!!!!!

How can anyone feel sorry for Hillary? I could never feel sorry for
and opportunist who will now be able to keep her lying promises.

And TWO hours in The DNC. Talking them into votes! Nancy
Polisi, you should have run out the back door. Who wants to
listen to her cry, beg, threaten, and remind them how much
they "owe" to her and sleezy Bill Clinton!

I think Florida and Michigan have to realize they screwed up. Neither Clinton nor Obama are to blame for these states' mistakes. People from these states have to realize their own state politicians are the ones who messed up. If they want a re-vote, they best take it up with those who are actually responsible.

This is the first time ever that I will not support the Democratic Ticket. I am not voting for McCain or Obama. I too will be writing in my candidate's name (Hillary Clinton) on my ballot in the November general election. I have never done a write-in candidiate before…but now is the time!! I am sending my message to the DNC (who messed-up Florida and Michigan and who created the ridiculous proportional delegate system) and to those who discounted and tried to discredit the most qualified candidiate (the first woman who could have been president). Shame on the Democratic Party.

I can't vote for Obama, not even to preserve the judicial branch of government. He scares me – even more than McCain, if you can believe that, because at least I have an idea of what McCain would and wouldn't do as president. So here is one quiet Democrat, hoping against hope that Hillary hangs in there and that the folks deceived by the flim-flam Obama man come to their senses in time. Otherwise, for the first time in my voting-age life, I may not vote at all.

I hope all you people voting for Obama will be happy with McCain as your president. Hillary is the only one who has a chance at the office.
You will see that her supporters will not vote for Obama. I have been a strong Democrat all my life and now I am ashamed to be called a Democrat because of the way this election has been handled. The party is in its death throws.

Hillary must think she is Cleopatra now, because she is in De Nile !!

From this point on, if Hillary does not win the nomination, I will be a Republican. Not just because she lost, but because the Democrats have unveiled the kind of people they have in their party. A bunch of self-serving,backstabbing, disingenous hypocrites. I am switching parties because these elected democratic officials make me sooo sick to my stomach. John Mccain gets my vote this November. No matter what the pundits think that the democrats will unite, I think they are wrong again this time. John McCain is not George Bush so I think we are safe with him than with Obama.

I am a registered democrat. But for what Hillary is doing I would look the other way if she is given the nomination. If she wins it (which is impossibel) then I would vote for her.

I will not be voting for Obama if he gets the democratic nomination — he has proven once again that the only way he can win is to play dirty politics again, this time by not supporting the voters of Michigan and Florida. His wins of the caucus states and southern states does not make him the strongest candidate in the fall election.

For 20 years Obama has worshiped at a black liberation church that is separatist at best and racist at worst and claims not to have heard Rev. Wright's inflammatory comments. He's too smart to play that dumb. So I would question his character and his core moral values. We already voted for a president that lead us to believe he was a uniter, and look where we are now. I'd like to believe that Americans are not so easily fooled, but I'm beginning to wonder. Obama's going to change Washington politics . . not going to happen.

GO HILLARY

Listen, all you Dems(white,black,yellow,&brown), when are we as a party going to STOP using our political opportunity to bash and hurt not only ourselves,but the Dem party. We are sending messages of HATE and all of us say or have said we love our country, home of the free and the brave, let's show some sign. The Republicans know that a house divided against itself WILL NOT STAND, and we are giving them exactly what they want. We say we are honest, and yet we deceitfully vote with wrong intentions, led by individuals (media,&talk show host) who's feet are swift to mischief, we seek to steal, kill, & destroy someone's character, when we ourselves are imperfect, not realizing we all will have to give an account to God for what we've said and done. This is not a sermon, but an admonishion, be not ignorant of satan's devices!

Everyone just needs to relax… The process may take til the convention, but it will end… Would it help if it ended sooner, yes, but let those who wish to fight be allowed to do so… This country was founded on struggle and persistence – both candidates have persevered through controversy and both will have to do the same come August… After reading several articles about McCain thoughout this process, I must say, any democrat who feels so polarized or so alienated by either of these candidates and threatens to switch sides, should realize that by trying to make your point, you only set this party back 4 more years… Do you want to see a Conservative Supreme Court? An American War Mongering Government? A Fiscally Irresponsible Government? Blue Collar, White Collar, Female, Male, Black, White, Mexican, Asian, Other – Who Cares what you are… Who Cares how hurt you are or have been by this process, what she said, or what he said… He's not patriotic, she's a liar… what does it matter? Both candidates will serve a democrat better than John McCain and if it's worth it to you to switch sides or vote contrary to your political views, then be the first to stand up and raise your hand when everyone is looking to blame someone for another Republican in the White House.

And as a side note, I support Barack Obama, but would stand in line to vote for Hillary should I need to, because despite all of you others, I would still rather have her than John McCain.

I think Hilary should quit. It is sad. I have voted Democrat since 1972. I have never, ever voted Repulican.

There is no way I can support Obama; and there is no way that I will vote for McCain. I am staying home in November.

Annie, the Rezko case is nothing compared to the Peter Paul case in California. The Clinton's used all their influence to move the trial date past the Dem convention to avoid the problems. You don't have to believe me, look it up, or are you afraid to? Maybe you will see what the Clinton's are really about…..

Great! Now 'ol Hill can add "surrendered all dignity in a clearly lost race" to that pile of other "experience" she's been touting for months.

Clinton's desperate determination does not serve the best interests of the DNP.

Her case that she is more electable….a word game right out of Rove's buzz speak…

Its complete nonsense…once Obama is the nominee, she would be hard-pressed not to rally those in the camp, who supported her….just as she would expect if the roles were reversed.

Its nonsense and it looks like she is trying to finagle a candidacy where the people's voice is second to her own rather loud persona.

Gore…pul-ease…..come out for Obama….we know in your heart, that's where you sit….it might help here.

For everyone that thinks Clinton can beat McBush, and That Obama can not…….She has to beat Obama FIRST and that isnt gonna happen, SOOOOO support your party, Go Obama….EVEN IF YOU HATE OBAMA………..HE's 100 times better then "more of the same"….war, high gas, losing homes…etc, etc

Hillary is the most divisive figure in politics since, well, our current president. She is even starting to sound like our village idiot with all the bellicose rhetoric and attempts to render all issues in start black and white terms. I guess when she is trying to woo the uneducated simpletons of America, she needs to resort to these ploys. It is high time we elected a politician who is able to analyze the issues, take nuanced positions, and who has the mindset to get things done through collaboration. Obama has demostrated that he can do this better than Hillary.

And what is all this talk from Hillary's supporters about she being more electable than Obama. That is utter nonsense!! She has managed to squander all her political capital and is having difficulty getting her own party's nomination. And she has the gall to suggest that she would make the better candidate against McCain. What's she smoking — maybe unlike her husband, she actually inhaled. Or maybe it is just her deep seated racism.

Finally, for those of you who are rooting for Hillary because she is a women: she does not deserve to be the first woman president of the United States. All her accomplishments are in fact tied to her husband. Without him, she'd be just another corporate lawyer, perhaps one with some civic sense, but without the skills needed to cut it on her own as a politician. There are plenty of other women in this country who have accomplished far more in their own right and have all the qualities necessary to make a great president. We do need to settle for this shrill, unethical, fake, condescending and belligerent woman.

First off, as an African American single (educated)
female, I would like to tell my fellow African
American brothas and sisters that I am completed
appalled by how 90% of you have betrayed the Clintons.
And in light of your actions I will be voting for
McCain in the fall.

Unfortunately, this is the very reason our race is so
far off course. We have no loyalty to anything or
anyone…and yes that also include our community. As
much as Bill and Hillary have supported our causes and
we now have the Audacity (no pun intended) to stab
them in the back.

To my Caucasians brothas and sistas….do NOT be
fooled by my fellow African Americans when they say
that they are voting for Obama because he is the
better candidate. Truthfully, half can not tell where
Obama was born, let alone anything related to his
so-call platform. The reason this is because half of
us don’t read! Its all about race.

Equally, I am VERY disappointed in my Caucasian sistas
who have fell to support Hillary. You know, I’ve
always heard ( word on the street/conversation within
the black community) that white women can be some of
the most jealous and vicious creatures on earth, but I
would’ve never thought that so many would abandon
their own to support someone they know nothing about.
Obviously, I find this to be very interesting and
alarming.

I digress…

Regarding the Rev.Wright situation- You can best
believe that Obama knew about Wrights’ extreme and
radical views. Any member that attends a church for
more than 20 years and that has an ounce of a brain
knows their Pastor’s ideologies (e.g. greed, family
values, financial status, education, race relations,
and community involvement) So, the lame excuse that
Obama gave to the public about his outrage regarding
Wrights comment is Phony. And I’m telling you this as
African American female who knows how her people
think.

By the way- don’t you think it’s rather odd that all
radical spiritual leaders (i.e Jesse Jackson, Al
Sharpton, Rev. Creflo Dollar, Bishop Long) have
mysteriously disappeared during this primary election?
Hmmmmmm

So, go ahead and cut your noses to spite your face
because of your hate for the Clintons and put Obama in
office. I’m will be LMAO will Jesse, Al, Louis and
Rev.Wright take over this country with their subtle
council to Prez Obama! hahahahahahahahahaha

Maybe-just maybe… I’ve given you way to much credit
as thinkers and rational people who can read and
detect BS when you see or hear it- Maybe you’re not as
smart and clever as most perceive you to be.

Yes- go ahead and put Obama in office and we’ll see
who get the last laugh!

Go McCain!

Watch Hillary win the nomination.

FOR ALL OF THE LITTLE WANNA BEE POLITICIANS WHO TEND TO GET THEIR MUGS ON CNN TO SPOUT OFF AGAINST HILLARY. I CAUTION YOU THAT THE MOST UNDEMOCRATIC THING FOR ANY OF YOU TO SUGGEST IS THAT SHE SHOULD BE INFLUENCED BY ANY OF YOU, WHO ARE NOT HER SUPPORTERS, TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE ON YOUR TIMELINE. AS A FLORIDIAN, I STRONGLY OBJECT TO THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR AND URGE ALL OF YOU TO LET THE FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES OF THE PEOPLE AND BY THE "STATES RIGHTS"TO BE COUNTED AND ACCEPTED. ONLY THEN SHOULD EITHER OBAMA OR HILLARY MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. LET THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS PROCEED. IT IS HEATHY FOR THE PARTY AND FOR THE COUNTRY, INSPITE OF WHAT ANY OF THE RABID NOVICES THINK.

I feel like the Democratic Party is being held hostage by the Clintons.
This truly feels horrible.
I feel like she is trying to steal this nomination with her lame arguments and it does not feel like a democracy anymore.

Funny, now that her candidate is safely in the lead, she is all for letting the process play out.

To those Hillary supporters who say they will not vote for Obama, let me ask a few things. First, would you vote for Obama if the following was true:

-There were no rumors of him being a muslim, and if there were, no one cared
-No one cared what his pastor said, you included
-No one cared if he choses not to wear a flagpin
-If the issues at hand, that affect our country, were the only topics ever discussed between him and john McCain
-If there were no "red" and "blue" states
-if we voted for who we think would make the best leader of our country, not who can beat "the republican attack machine"

This is the politics of tomorrow that Obama speaks of. The world may be used to the bitter, divided politics, but there was a time when they were non-existent, and that time can be now. George Washington warned us to stay away from bipartisan ism, and look where ignoring him has gotten us

Second, given that trivial attacks are still alive and well, consider this. Do you really believe that the whitewater scandal, Lewinsky, etc. will be ignored by the "republican attack machine?" They are now giving everything they've got to Obama, not because they think he will be the nominee, but because she is so much easier to rip apart.

I will be able to vote for the first time in 2012, and do not want my vote to bring us backwards 20 years. I want my vote to liberate the American dream.

Obama 08

i think that those superdelegates have no balls

Hello President McCain!

If Hillary is out, McCain is guaranteed a win in November.

Shameful!

I hope and pray the DNC will allow Florida and Michigan to vote again.

This is ridiculous. Hillary is finished. She's lost the delegate vote, the popular vote, and Obama has won twice as many states as her. She ran an able campaign, and I salute her resilience. That said, it's all over but the crying. Do the math, guys and gals–she could win every remaining contest by 20% or more, and take 60% of the uncommited super delegates, and still not get the nomination. Stick a fork in her, she's done.

Let's turn our attention to beating John McCain already. It isn't good for this country to have another Republican at the controls for the next four years.

This is supposed to be about America.

Hillary, stop acting like a sore loser. There are rules to follow in any games, we are taught to follow and stick with the rules. You can't one monent follow and next moment want to change the rules to favour you. Who do you think you are? This is the basic thing we teach our children to follow the rules and what type of behaviour are you trying to educate our young generation.
Just face the true fact, you have lost the contest. Move aside and unite the party before you break the party up with your own ego.

I can't wait to see Obama's face when he loses, and loses big in November. If Hillary is not on the ticket, Obama will be sucking wind. McCain will wipe him up with a wet towel.

By the way, Obama ran ads in Florida. All names were on the ballot, so the votes should count. As well, the Florida voters should not be punished for the bull crap of the DNC. The last time I checked they were tax paying citizens who are protected under the constution and afforded the same rights….one of which is the right to vote.

All those who say that some of the Hillary supporters are punishing Obama are so wrong. It just so happens that we believe that McCain is the next best candidate after Hillary. Obama is naive and there is nothing in his resume that would allow me to believe that he would be able to lead our country. Obama needs experience and get more stuffing in terms of vision for our country. Just speeches will not do. If we believed in speeches, we could go get a fabulous preacher! This is not about democrat or republican but who is the best president. Obama surely is NOT! Hillary has said that she will campaign for Obama if he wins but even Hillary cannot change my mind since Obama is not ready.

What a bunch of ignoramus' we dems have. Hillary is the only one that can win the election for the democrats. She also knows this and is just giving the party time to make the right decision and give her the nod….The black vote will not win the election for obama, and as evidenced in NC and other heavily black population states, this has turned out to become a race contest.
Besides. There are 50 states and some common states that have a say in the US elections…Let them "ALL" have a voice. Wait til "ALL" have had their say through their vote….

Dear Sen. Clinton,
Go home, lick your wounds and fight another day. You still have a lot to offer.

Interesting how she made her case just prior to the latest primary results were released. After the thumping she took in NC, her case just got a lot weaker. Hillary, you've run a tough and hard-fought campaign. You are a fighter and a hard-worker and bright. That said, Obama is just too far ahead for you to have an honest chance of winning the nomination. It is time to come together and unite Obamacrats and Hillarycrats. Do we want four more years of Bush-like policymaking and Washington politics as ususal? Well, that is exactly what we will get if we can't unite.

I am amazed at how disappointed these Clinton supporters are. I bet you'll be even more disappointed when your candadite McCain loses. Try more if you do not realize your are hitting your head on a wall; this is exactly what Clintion is doing now. It's called stupid.

Hillary is turning into the house guest that doesn't know when to leave.
Blame the state representatives and governors of Mi and Fl for their state primary fiascos. They should be voted out of office at the first opportunity. They are the ones that disenfranchised their electorate. She agreed to play by these rules and now wants to change them because she is losing. She only beleives these primary elections were legit for her self serving reasons.

Mr. Limbaugh did not support either canidate. His operation was to extend the primaries and in that end he succeeded. As for the Democaratic race, my question is: The US stops using all oil in 48 hours, How do we pay for the roads and bridges now Mr. Obama?

Hilllary my advice to you is to go let by gones be by gones. You are trying to handle something that may not give you an over the edge. I know some want Hillary to continue so why don't you all that love her finance her campaign.

Staying in the race despite the fact that it is mathematically impossible for Clinton to overcome Senator Obama’s lead in delegates, states won, or popular vote – while she claims that the voters of Florida and Michigan are being disenfranchised? What would Senator Clinton say if the Superdelegates were to overturn the decision of ALL the votes cast during this Democratic Primary? While it’s entirely within their rights to do so, I fully believe that the Democratic Party would suffer permanent damage because that would be the epitome of all ‘disenfranchisements.’

"Hillary has won all of the big states (electorally-speaking), except Obama's home state of Illinois. Counting electoral votes on the states both have won thus far, Clinton would have 295 electoral votes, to Obama's 213 electoral votes."

You must be kidding. Hillary's followers are paranoid and delusional. Electoral votes will be counted in November, now it is the delegate vote. Learn to FOLLOW THE RULES. Whether you win or loose, learn to accept anything graciously. Judgment and ability to follow the law is the most important quality of a president. The way Hillary is playing this election, if elected she will be worse than GDB.

There a lingering belief that Clinton has to be in the ballot and despite everything that Obama has done to prove he is capable of winning in fall election the process looks like it tailor made to only accept Clinton.This is the height of all hypocrisy and such should be shunned because democrats would be shooting themselves on the leg by nominating Clinton through the back door.

How do we agree to disagree with Hillary supporters?

Would you rather a closure proof or a veto over ride proof, democratic majority?

Florida has a legitimate complaint as it was a Republican legislature and a Republican Governor voted to move the primary. Something needs to be worked out for them. Michigan, however, knew the consequences of their actions.

As for not voting for the candidate that gets the nomination, do people really want Bush II to choose the next one or two Supreme Court Justices….Roe v Wade is a critical decision that governs at least half of the country. Or the recent decision by the Supreme Court that denies the right to vote to a group of nuns (real law breakers there)…..I won't even begin to talk about Bush II's health care plan for the insurance companies…..

It does no good to pout and say I am taking my ball and going home….the person who leaves gets punished just as much as those who don't…..

I don't know if this will be possible, or if the presidential election ballots will allow this, but as for me, if possible, and if Obama is the nominee, I will WRITE IN Hillary Clinton's name. Everyone who supports Hillary, please consider this.

Florida and Michigan need to blame their own democratic leaders and quit whining. They broke the rules and frankly they need to live with it. If the DNC folds, it will show that they have no backbone and no authority.

Stop whining Hilary… go away… stop dividing the party and MOVE ON!

All you superdelegates, you had better follow the will of the people. Those of you who don't, I hope you get ousted in your next elections.

I don't understand these Hillary supporters who won't support Obama in November. Lookit: John McCain can't wait to go to war with Iran and he doesn't care if we're in Iraq for 100 more years. Americans must unite behind Obama.

Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

Hillary needs our donations to repay her SIX million dollar Loan. We are suppose to donate (GIVE) to her campaign, but she only LENDS to her campaign.
Do you really expect her to throw in the towel before she gets her money out??? Suckers.

This is hilarious! What a party!

Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dumber fighting it out for the honor of becoming the lamb led to a national election slaughter!

The Dems are so pathetic they can't even pin anything on McCain other than some lame slogan "McCain = Third Bush Term."

On the Dems side, one candidate was indoctrinated by a bigoted preacher and is married to a woman who makes Teresa Heinz-Kerry look like Laura Bush. The other candidate is a serial liar who lhas no idea what she is doing.

Two candidates with liberal anti-trade, anti-business, anti-anti terror, with a pro-tax (only for the "rich" of course) and weak on defense mindset.

This is a 40 state win for McCain.

She's toast. Time to move on Democrats and rally behind a person that can finally bring real change….

Go Obama!

As one of Hillary's supporters along with many friends and family, we will not vote for Obama. His lies with Rezko and Wright are turning us off. You people voted for Bush twice and what did you get.

Hang in there Hillary! America NEEDS you! Obama will NEVER be president of our country. YOU are our only chance!

a true leader knows when it is time to step down and when is time to go on. Mrs. clinton continues to create such chaos, division, and at the expense of the Democratic party. A true leader puts their country first, no matter what, and their personal egos aside, this is why she can not win this nomination. Her ego is so huge that she forgot the people dedice.
everywhere you read, everyone you talk tells you and every single poll including cnn poll today (67% ) say she needs to drop out. Obviously she will not because she does not listen to anyone, hopefully teh DNC can tell her for good, enough is enough…………..

with all due respect, please step down, just be courageus enough and take a deep breath………….

Continuation … In sports and other arenas, a win is a win even if you win by one point.

Senator Obama is supposedly bringing the country together. However, his candidacy is having the opposite effect. I am African American. But, I have a problem seeing 92% of African Americans vote for an African American President. I am of the opinion that these people are not looking beyond the color of his race. This is certainly not what Dr. Martin Luther King stood for or represented. People really need to get a clue.

What happened to voting for someone based on their platform, ideals, and values, etc.? Senator Clinton should continue her campaign for as long as she wants to. Furthermore, why can’t the super delegates determine the best candidate to run against Senator McCain?

A lot of democrats are trying to prop up an African American because he is a newbie. This will be the first time to vote Republican for me. I will not be writing in my vote and I hope there will be others who do the same. I was voting for Hillary's brains. Not for an African American or a Woman but for someone who I believed would lead our country to a position of strength. I still believe she would have helped us get out of this mess that we are in — another newbie (as opposed to the experienced Gore) got us in here. Now the democrats are propping up someone who is even more inexperienced. A real nightmare! No Hillary means – A vote for the Republicans. I hope the democrats lose in the Fall for failing to recognize the needs of our country.

First of all let me say that being a Florida resident I am appalled at the notion that Hillary Clinton believes Florida votes should stand. I abstained from voting since my state violated Democratic making the vote not count. I am sure that others in my state took my outlook on our primary election as well. It is regretful that I opted not to exercise my supposed right to vote. Especially, now that there is so much discussion from the Clinton campaign to make Florida count without a revote. However, I am willing to concede the possibility Mrs. Clinton could win with a revote but not with mine. I do agree with everyone that believes the voters should decide which candidate is elected. Not some cartoon character “Super Delegate”. So here we are in another election debacle except this time we Floridian’s are not alone. Maybe it’s time our government managed federal elections instead of the states. Oh, never mind they would just mess things up worse than they already are.

THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER THEN SHE HAS TO GO,GET OUT OF THIS RACE! WHY ARE THEY PLAYING AROUND WITH THIS, IT MAKES NO SENSE, NO SENSE AT ALL ULESS THEY TOO ARE FIGHTING AGAINST OBAMA AND IF SO WHAT'S UP WITH THAT??????

ALL I KNOW IS THIS OBAMA IS GETTING A RAW DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary just go home already.

Democrats do not want you Hillary.

You can save face if you just get out now.

HANG TOUGH, HILLARY! WE HERE IN GEORGIA SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY!

I am an older white woman on a pension. I understand that this description qualifies to be one of those folks who typically votes for Mrs. Clinton. I am also a KY resident and registered Independent.

I am angry, though, about MI and FL. I don't understand why Mrs. Clinton thinks it is fair to take FL and MIN votes and put them on her plate when Mr. Obama followed the rules and didn't even include his name on the MI ballot.

It bothers me that Mrs. Clinton thinks delgate votes should be taken into consideration when MI delegates had no say.

The only way this can be truly fair is for there two states' residents to go back to the voting booths. The argument that wasn't their fault, that it was the fault of the politicians is ridiculous. The residents of these states voted for the politicians who decided to break the rules in the first place. That they can't afford to return to the booths is just too bad.

If Mrs. Clinton really wants fairness, she needs to bite the bullet and ask the two states she thinks belongs to her alone to bite the financial bullet and return to the booths to prove it to her and vote for her.

I am an 35 yr old African American woman and Hillary Clinton supporter. I am so sick of hearing that Obama is the candidate of "change". What is he changing? He gives sermons not solutions and everyone is so touched by it. All of my African American friends support him but I have never heard him say one thing about the Sean Bell verdict in NY, but then again he doesn't have to say anything about it he has already inherited that vote without even trying. At least I know where Hillary stands and everyone knows she has controversy, but no one really knows anything about Obama. He has presented himself as being against old politcs and politicians, and by doing this he can't afford any type of scandal. If Obama wins and the republicans expose new info about Obama then McCain will be our new president. It's hard to believe that such an intelligent man whose political career means so much can be clueless about the views of his church and minister of 20yrs. He gave this lame excuse that he didn't know his Rev views or opinions and his supporters ate it up. UNBELIEVABLE. Initially I was gonna vote for any democratic nominee, but after the last few weeks I have changed my mind. If Hillary isn't the nominee then I will vote for the 3rd party or not at all. I refuse to vote for the Chi-town slickster that can't get enough delegates to win and end the primary race once and for all. Hopefully the Superdelegates will be smart enough to realize that Hillary can beat McCain and that Obama is one scandal away from disaster.

HILLARY 08!

If the North Carolina voters were disenfranchized by penalizing them, what would the Obama people be saying then????

To be fair, I suggest that North Carolina and, let's see ahh, how about Minnesota, lets wipe their votes out too. That should even things out for both candidates.

How about it Clinton supporters, let's have your opinion on this.

COUNT FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN VOTES!!!

hillary…sit down. We do not need another clinton in the office anymore. I am so tired of her with her lying self. try telling the truth for a change. I was considering voting for her but I can't. I don't think she has what it takes to run this country. she has proved that she is a snake just the rest of them.

If you are one of the idiots that will support McCain over the eventual nominee then you are part of the problem of this country. It is exactly you type of people that cause the problems we are in.

The bottom line with MI and FL is this (I voted in FL): The states broke the rules and now they must pay. Period. There punishment was notified to them BEFORE the primaries were scheduled. Period. They chose to go ahead with it anyway. Period. Since the race is close, they do not like their punishment and are trying to change the rules. Period.

MI and FL voters….you should be pissed off at your own states. They are the ones to blame. Are you HIllary supporters to stupid to realize this???

My vote in FL should not count because FL broke the rules. I have certainly made the state party and state democrat politicians fully aware of my opinion of how the state handled this year's primary. You should do the same.

Rules are rules. It is that simple. Hillary is trying to find every little gap she can find to win the nomination…..she makes me sick. However, I would definitely vote for her over McCain.

Obama's win in N.C. is the end of the field campaign, but the beginning of the last phase of this primary. Do not underestimate Clinton. She was humulated, angered and sadden yesterday and this will only make her mad and hardened. She is a danger.

The fight over Clinton is no longer about her, but about her loyaists and supporters. Some will leave based on logical calculation, others will leave only after they realized what a liability and disearter she is to their own cause. She will not quit unless her loses of these supporter cut down to her bones. She'll get what she deserves.

GET OUT OF THE RACE AND GO HOME. WHY DO YOU KEEP PROLONGING THINGS. YOOUR FINISH

The primaries are NOT justly over until all the voters have voted in the final primaries — and until Florida and Michigan votes are counted! There's absolutely no reason why Hillary Clinton should quite before then – NONE!

Hillary Clinton must be a John McCain fan. She can not win, yet she stays in the race. She's convinced many of her rabid followers that Obama represents centuries of female repression and a vote for him would be lead the country to destruction. Pill poppin' Limbaugh has campaigned for her, too; so my question is: what party is she on anyway?

The answer is she is the princess at of the party she threw for herself. Too bad Hillary, all things must come to an end.

Oh, and Sharon from Minnesota: you are possibly the dumbest person of a long list of dumb people I've read on these comment pages.

You people are ridiculous. All you do is argue and fight like children. The media slanders and spins things and you suck it up like sponges. The US election coverage in Canada is different than down there. We actually read about the issues and those of you that say Obama is just talk should do your research. He's got some very intelligent plans. Yes, you heard me PLANS. Us canadians just want to shake the sense back into you people. Who cares if his minister is a raving lunatic…Wright is NOT Obama! Where is the sense in slandering the guy who wants to put money into your children's education, who wants to fix the economy not cause more havoc with quick fixes and quiet illusions (ie gas tax), who wants families to keep the homes that hold all their memories, who wants to give you a reason to be proud of your country again. There is one simple difference between Obama and Clinton that everyone is missing. Obama CARES!!! You hear it when he speaks. He gives a voice to a people that have lost theirs. He puts a face on the forgotten and I can guarantee he won't forget about the people when he takes office. This isn't just some joke. The repercussions of your choice are not only going to affect your future but our future. Whether we like it or not we are attached at the hip and some Canadians would like you all to get your heads on straight. So stop bickering and start looking at the issues because the world is watching and frankly this is getting ridiculous.

Senator Clinton should stay in the race for the White House for as long as she wants. She is the only viable candidate that can make a difference in the White House.

In sports and other arenas, a win is a win even if you win by

If you use Terry McCauliff's logic (Clinton campaign chairman) that he wrote about in the book he wrote after he was the DNC chairman, if you seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan, it will create total caos within the democratic party. All States will go against the rules in the future. He very forcefully fought Senator Levin, Michigan in 2000 and 2004 about this very issue. Now that he is on Senator Clinton's campaign, he wants to change the rules, in the middle of the game.

The fact that the Clinton camp is getting away with blaming Obama for something he did not do is unbelievable. Senator Clinton had almost half of the rules committee of the DNC as supporters of her campaign. The other half was divided among all of the other candidates. ALL of her supporters voted to strip FL and MI of their delegates. That was when she was supposed to be crowned. Hillary Clinton's supporters ot the Democratic caucus from Florida were all over the news about why they would not support a revote!!! Why is it Obama's fault when the evidence clearly shows that Hillary's supporters are the ones that did not allow that to happen?

Just as Hillary supporters say their vote should count, why is it not fair to say that many Obama supporters did not vote because they were told that their vote would not count. To accept that vote would not stand up in court for that very reason, it is called disenfranchising the voters if everyone is saying the vote won't count, (it was all over the news media for months) and then try to count the vote that took place. It would not stand up in court.

However, the courts also say that each political party has the right to set their own rules for their primaries, and the court will not support counting the original vote, if that went to court.

Funny how delegates are committed to Hillary, but not the people of the united states, not the party. Funny. They are giving her way too much power. Hillary is obviously a member of the "good 'ol boys" club. Their own ways of doing things, rules are made to be broken and don't apply to them, they can't accept "no" for an answer.

Funny…actually, sickening….

We strongely feel Hillary Clinton is a lot more experienced.

We do not need a president who lacks experience.

Clinton is for the people.

She is a fighter. A very strong person.

She is the one we hope gets the Democratic nominee.

The primaries are NOT justly over until all the voters have voted in the final primaries — and until Florida and Michigan votes are counted! There's absolutely no reason why Hillary Clinton should quite before then – NONE!

So much hate. so much division. You mean the great uniter cannot unify this party? He is a scumbag pure and simple. He has played the race card from the very begining. He has friends who are utter trash, who trash and terrorize the very country he wants to lead?
He said the Rev was a crazy Uncle and that he never heard the things he said. Then he admitted hearing them and said but I still care for the sinner. Then the sinner said that he was just doing what politicians do and what happened??? This issue will not die. It has is growing as we speak. Do you ot see the Divide that OBAMA has created in the Democratic party. What the pundints don't realize is that unlike the republican party who is for only the PARTY, democrats are for their country. Country 1, party 2. It is in my countrys best interest not to have a president who does not respect this country and treat it with the utmost honor. He sat under the preaching of a man who dares say God D— America and he's just a crazy old uncle??????
For 20+ years. And there are those that say that if you don't vote for Obama you are racist. If that were true I would hate my own flesh and blood. No the republicans will not play poor black man with this issue.
They will fight to win and win they will.
I cannot trust my country to a president who would dam it. He supported the man in doing so he supported the words. He did donate cash to him andcalled him his Spiritual Mentor and his political sounding board. OH boy if nearly 50% of Democrats thought this was a problem, then at least 80 % of republicans will.
Mccain over Obama, My country before my party.

The best way to let the voters in MI & FL to have their states be counted is: to let the voters that did not vote at the primary
only vote for their primary in August. In other words: if you missed
and are registered, you will be the voters!

To the "Yes we will- Hillary or McCain 08″ folks——You can do what you want- but McCain will NOT WIN in November and your disloyalty to the Democratic Party and your Country won't be forgotten. When you don't get your way, you wanna cry and leave the playground taking the ball with you. Lame.
Your "chickens will come home to roost" because there is such a thing as karma.
You people sicken me.

BILLARY supporters fail to realize yet AGAIN that FL and MI doesn't even matter she will STILL LOSE!!!!!! it's not going to bring her any closer unless she wins these next 6 primaries with a substantial percentage which is highly unlikely she's staying in the race so you guys can donate to her campaign so she can pay the rest of her bill plain and simple. This race is OVA!!!!!!! she and bill know it, especially bill!!

OBAMAM 08/12 YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL!!!

I'll bet she offered all kinds of empty promises. Most delegates, most states, most popular votes, most money raised. The choice is obvious.

Obama08

Obama WAS NOT ON THE NICHAGAN BALLOT. How fair was that? And how fair will it be to give Michagan to Clinton? AND HOW MUCH INTEGRITY DOES CLINTON HAVE TO INSIST ON THOSE DELEGATES? She's like a rabid dog and will be in the race until somebodt has to put her down when she foams at the mouth.

AND STOP BLAMING OBAMA FOR YOUR VOTE NOT COUNTING> BLAME YOUR STATE FOR NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES>

Clinton agreed to the penalty and now has changed her mind. AGAIN< how much integrity doe her behavior show?

Obama has no chance against McCain. If the democrats want to "retake" the white house (as if it wasn't handed to them in the 2004 election) they need to nominate Clinton. McCain's experience trumps Obama. You may say that experience does not matter all that much, but in actuality, it does matter when Obama has no experience with legislation/leadership/results to back up the two foundations of his campaign 1.) change and 2.) transcendence of party lines. The GOP machine is going to break these 2 foundations down piece by piece and Obama will have nothing to defend himself other than his inflated rhetoric. As an independent voter, I am certain the average American will see the truth behind Obama's empty campaign.

Hillary has to continue her campaign so that she can use her supporters to raise enough money to pay herself back and to pay her campaign debts.

Don't be naive. She need the contributions to get out of a financial bind. Glad she's not going to be balancing the Federal budget.

Give Florida and Michigan a rest already. Unless there was a fair revote – the vote cast can and should not count. I'm sure if she didn't win she wouldn't be so excited to have them count.

She is really getting on my nerves.

We need someone who can open doors, NOT ask where they are. I cannot and will not vote for Obama, or McCain for that matter. Super delegates should wake up and maybe read some of these blogs, to see how people really feel. Numbers are just numbers, but what people say, or blog, is from the heart. God Help Us All.

And Hillary, whatever happens, you did your parents, husband, daughter, and the rest of your family, and us, your extended family proud.

92% of African Americans voting for Obama- Dean allowing two states to move up the dates (South Carolina and Nevada) but decided not to allow Florida and Michigan. Not counting two states in the election process (the republicans had the judgement to only remove 1/2 the delegates) WHY- Hillary wins Texas primary but allocated less delegates! Hillary wins Nevada but is allocated less delegates! Why do certain districts get more delegates, a vote is a vote! Hillary wins Florida (Obama had news ads on the air) and Obama fights a revote so gets no delegates. *If Obama does not support a revote in Florida and Michigan, he does not get my vote in the general election. I want to know if the college kids that voted for Obama were registered in the state that the vote was casted.
*NEITHER candidate can reach the magic delegate number, That is why you have to count Florida and Michigan- Obama did not work hard for a revote- Why didn't the DNC support Hillary!- Obama could have gone for the next election after we had a chance to get to know him better or could have been a vp on Hillary's ticket and then President after Hillary's term. I'm a registered Democrat, If Hillary is not on the ticket (as president or VP) – I'm changing my party affiliation. Is there a party divide, Yes- thank you Dean

Limbaugh need to shut his tramp up with his racist self. I can't stand him because he is so ignorant. DO YOU REALIZE HOW DUMB YOU ARE? I support Obama 100% and God know who he wants in there or do you believe in God. It is time out for the negativity that goes on in the tired country call the United State. Yes, the United States is very tired. We are always sticking our nose into other people's affairs and can't seem to take care of the people that need help here. Somebody got to try and clean up the mess Bush has gotten us in. He and his dad, how about that. Why don't he send those tired daughters of his over there and send Limbaugh the idiot too.

1/3 of the country urged her not to support and go to war (she is still responsible for her vote by the way) and now we are all asking her to walk away from her temptation for power – some people just don't learn!!

It's funny, because I thought those super delegates would support the candidate that they think would do a good job in the white house. And not because the other candidate has more pledge delegate. I think american politicians are starting to be more like the ones in the third world countries. How do you say that? Where there is some hot soup, there you can sip..
Loyalty should be respected, and not to be swept off by fame or popularity by the other candidate.
The Bush administration has placed the american people at the end of a cliff, Obama will be the one pushing if he get elected.

Hillary will eventually reach the decidion to withdraw but she ought to be treated witha great deal more respect than OBAMA supporters are giving. This lady has dedicated her life to community and for many, she would have been the better for President

Obama supporters will need hert support and hard work if they wish to take the next step. Sometimes, they give the impression the main goal is to berat HC not to win the WH. I bet the questions from the Cafferty files begin to better balanced now that the end for her is in sight.

I believe this fine Clinton family is deserving of so much more respect.. How quickly people forget how respected the country was abroad during the Clinton years and how well the ecomony performed.

1. Hillary's stance with Mi and FLA is like her "Gas Tax Holiday" she is pandering and only cares b/c she think it will help her.

2. Twice she has had to save her campaign from financial ruin, then how can she run the nation considering the countries economic situation.

3. If Hillary could not defeat Obama how can she win against McCain.

4. All canidates have baggage…However all the rep. has is a former pastor and a gaff. What is on Hillary?….Bosniagate, NAFTA, War approval Iraq, Peter Paul, Bill's record (since she is claiming that as experience), and pandering. Plus folks just don't like or trust her.

Hillary no longer has a chance to be a Democratic nominee, that's too bad, since she would win with McCain. Obama wil be the democratic candidate, another one who will lose in general election in November.

A simple arithmetics of electoral votes for the states that have their primaries run shows that, if a democratic candidate wins in the sames state as in primaries, Obama would have 223 electoral votes for his states, but Clinton would have 295 votes for her states (or 251 w/o Florida and Michigan), with 273 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.

In short, Hillary will beat McCain, whereas Obama will not. That's electability, stupid!

Superdels, listen up. Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to be the nominee. Guess why? With Barack as the nominee, McCain wins by a landslide. Just the opposite happens with a Clinton nomination. It's so simple that even Limbaugh gets it. Why don't the superdelegates?

ITS FUNNY HOW CLINTON SUPPORTERS SAY THAT OBAMA WILL LOSE IN NOV WHEN THEIR CANDIDATE ALREADY HAS. IF HE DOES, IT WILL BE BECAUSE THEY ARE BITTER AND WILL CLING ON TO HATE AND FOOLISH MANIPULATION THAT WAS BROUGHT ON BY "THEIR" CANDIDATE. IF YOUR NOT GOOD AT SOMETHING YOU WONT WIN AT IT. IF A COMPANY DOESNT WANT TO HIRE YOU, GUESS WHAT…..YOUR FIRED! – PACK YOUR BAGS AND GO HOME.

Seriously, after seeing the way Hillary ran her campaign into the ground, does anyone really think she should be in charge of the country?

Like Blackburn, Lancashire, her "case" has 10,000 holes.

Obama cannot beat McCain w/o Hillary's supporters: older white females, Catholics, Jews, Hispanics, blue-collar workers

There's a reason why these groups didn't support Obama and find McCain very appealing

Every Hillary supporter on this post must really be a republican. Cause you and her are surely trying to eleminate the democratic process for person gain. Sure does make me proud to be an american…..NOT!!!

Is it safe to say that Lonnie Davis from the Clinton campaign is the new Pastor Hagee ?

WOW !! Signs of a desperate candidate. Florida and Michigan knew the penalties of there actions. Just live with it!!! What an example to set for the children: "If you can't win, cheat !!"

Those of you who say it not the Obama is black or young but that he is arrogant, basically are saying that he is an uppity negro who doesn't know his place in the line. I think HRC should bow out and campaign just as hard for Obama as she did against him. This is not only the most decent thing to do but the most logical if she has any hope of regaining the ground she's lost among black voters. She is from NY hello!

I am just curious. To all of the democrats, who think the Super delegates should go against popular vote and support Hillary, are you implying that the common citizens (who are members of the democrat party) are not intelligent enough to make a decision? You would rather forgo democracy and have a select few decide for you. If that is the case perhaps having a democrat in office isn't a good idea.

As far as Michigan and Florida, your elected officials knew in advance what the penalty would be for holding an early vote, the public knew that those delegates would not count. So those of you that did go out and vote made your decision to support your elected officials decision to not have your votes count. Don’t cry and complain to the rest of us who choose to follow the rules. Take it up with your elected officials and leaders.

I do not blame the folks in FL and MI, if they feel outraged for their votes NOT been counted. As always, people who break the rules (that is, typical psychopaths), end up being enraged!!! Is this not how we explain "abuse?" The individual who breaks the rules and is challanged ends up being so outraged that she/he strike out at the person who keeps the rules!! So, let FL and MI strike out; let them keep abusing the system; let them not vote in November–

Obama / and ANYONE but CLINTON
(how about DeFazio) 08

Laura ……..so sad to see you go………but Obama has won the most of everything in the whole process……..so what is your point ……..with democrats like you who needs republicans

Clinton Democrats and Obama Democrats need to remember that we all need each other in order to win the White house and prevent a Bush third term. So it is time to kill the bad words between us and start uniting. The end of our race will be over soon and everything will be worked out. Fl and Mi. Lets keep this in mind and lets stop beating each other up.

I don not blame the folks in FL and MI, if they feel outraged for their votes NOT been counted. As always, people who break the rules (that is, typical psychopaths), end up being enraged!!! Is this not how we explain "abuse?" The individual who breaks the rules and is challanged ends up being so outraged that she/he strike out at the person who keeps the rules!! So, let FL and MI strike out; let them keep abusing the system; let them not vote in November–

I voted for Hillary, but If I have to be the first person to admit that Hillary has no chance left, and say that I will still vote for Obama, I will. Although Hillary and Obama supporters have been fightng amoung themselves,
Senator Obama himselfed has reached out to everyone to come together
for the good of our party. It is preposterous to vote for McCain out of
spite. That's a slap in the face to your own party, and to yourselves.
If thats the case whats your point. You may as well voted republican
in the first place.

THEY TOLD US BEFORE WE VOTED OUR VOTES WOULDNT COUNT… IT WAS ALL ON TV AND THEY TOLD US AT THE POLLS.
PLEASE
PLEASE DONT ACT LIKE YOU WERENT TOLD BECAUSE I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT WAS THE MAIN THING ON THE MAIN STREAM MEADIA FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK BEFORE AND AFTER.

I LEFT POLLS BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WOULDNT COUNT AND I WAS NOT WAITING TO WASTE MY TIME
DO NOT COUNT FLA VOTES HALF OF US LEFT AND DID NOT VOTE BECAUSE WE KNEW IT WOULDNT BE HEARD

For those of you who think Barack Obama will save your families from the Iraqi war or the failing economy or any of the other ills we are facing in America:

He's a JR. SENATOR and has no experience. I hate to break it to you but he is not the 2nd coming messiah. He will not work with the system that is already in place as he has admitted to publicly. You are believing a pipe dream. Besides he will probably be involving the US in a war in Africa in the next year or two for your sons and daughters to fight in.

Get ready for real misery if he gets elected.

Hillary is the moderate who will use good judgment as our president. John McCain is light years better than Obama. No vote for Obama.

CHARITY BEGINS RIGHT FROM HOME,THE CLINTONS COULD NOT EVEN MANAGE HER CAMPAIGNS VERY WELL………TELL ME HOW SHE CAN MANAGE THE COUNTRY AS PRESIDENT ?????

Instead of being angry at the candidates, blame your state senators and state representatives for it. The state legislatures in FL and MI were the ones who wanted to get an advantage on everyone else, so it's their fault.

Instead of being angry at Obama and Hillary, vote your state reps out of office. Use your vote where it counts.

WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT CAN THERE BE.

SHE LOST, LOST, LOST.

IF SHE WINS BY ONE ELECTORAL VOTE

( NON SUPERDELEGATE) & NO CHEATING

I WILL VOTE FOR HER.

MATHEMATICALLY NOT POSSIBLE.

Obama did say that Indiana would be a tie-breaker and Hillary won Indiana. I think she deserves to be considered very serious for the nomination. The caucuses and superdelegates are the most ridiculous things. Election process should be inclusive and not exclude certain demographics-some barely have time to stand in line and cast a vote not less spend hours debating which candidates are better! Unfortunately we have the superdelegates (very undemocratic) in this 2008 election. According to the rules, they can back whichever candidate they think is best to represent the party in the fall. Remember, neither candidate will have the required 2050 delegates to capture the nomination; so to say that if the superdelegates weigh in for Clinton is like stealing the election from Obama is ludicrous! If you don't want the superdelegates to decide the election then hold new elections in Michigan and Florida!

Now, I feel really bad for Hillary. After thinking about it, she doesn't have a single person in this whole wide world who loves her enough to give her some cruel love. Instead, her so-called friends are going to watch her melt down. Bill, I thought you loved her?! It "IS" over. Be a man and take care of your wife!

Florida and Michigan were very aware of what they were doing and Hillary was supportive. Now she wants to change the rules. Rules are rules. Super Delegates, do your job. Split the remaining delegates and let's get on with this.

The rule is the rule. It should not change because of one person's interests. This should tell voters that Hillary will detate to the American people when she becomes the nominee and then president. The DNC made the rule and every representative agreed. why change it now?

WHAT KIND OF CASE CAN SHE MAKE?

I HAVE LOST MAKE ME PRESIDENT.

CAN'T BE ANY OTHER ARGUMENT OR REASONING.

Obama had a chance to put his name on the Michigan ballot. It's not America's fault he was too stupid to do it.

His problem not America's.

When Bill Clinton left office this country was in good shape.We were not in a war, people had jobs, we were operating in the BLACK not several trillion dollars in debt. So I don't understand why most of the democrat party and the media have been so hard against Hillary. I guess since thats what OW told everybody to think. I have been in elections for 32 yrs and I can tell you right now that Obama will not win the General Election. If you want the republicans out of the White House you better hope Hillary wins. All those red states that voted for him will go back red in November.They have been cross voting just watch how fast they go back. The African American vote 92% per cent voting for Obama don't talk about the race card. This party is so split it will never be united in November. The south will be solid red. The Dems have no one to blame but themselves this election should have been a shoe in.

The Democrats cannot win with Obama on the ticket…

The results in last nights primaries indicated who the real winner in this election. Obama is the perfect candidate and im sick and tired of people tiring him down. Hillary supporters are just being bitter. Obama has overcome every challenge including the recent Rev. Wright issue. Anyone who votes for McCain is just plain stupid. These are the types of individuals that prevent America from being the greatest country in the world. This is ironic since America is a first world country with 3rd world healthcare and schooling. Finally, I am sick of the rascist comments on these blogs towards Obama. America is the land of the free, not the land of the racists!!!

If the people of Florida were so stupid to go and vote knowingly that
the bote doesn't count is their problem so now they have to see that
all others american have their voice count, so wait another four years
and then bote.

I live in Florida, we broke the rules. The Democratic party in Florida is run by Karen Thurman. She is also a superdelegate that supports Hillary Clinton. She knew full well the consequences of the actions taken by the Democratic party when they moved the election up. SHE is to blame for the mess in Florida, NOT Obama.
Here is a quote from Thurman on March 17th:
"We spent the weekend reviewing your messages, and while your reasons vary widely, the consensus is clear: Florida doesn't want to vote again," Thurman wrote. "So we won't. A party-run primary or caucus has been ruled out, and it's simply not possible for the state to hold another election, even if the Party were to pay for it."

So we are now going into closed meetings to try and steal the nomination from Obama. My God! All I can say is that if the super delegates ignor Obama's sizeable lead in all categories, I will defect as the Democratic Party will no longer stand for what I believe in. Obama can and will win!! Those who are Clinton supporters and say they won't vote for him have a choice. Hopefully, they will use their brains instead of their mouths! And, by the way, the Democrats can't win in November without the large black populations and the hundreds of thousands of newly registered young voters. Blue Collar workers will support Obama when they look at their choices. The DNC has an obligation to all Democrats and simply can not change the rules of the game at this point in time. That in itself will cause so many democrats to leave!!

YEA & IT WENT LIKE THIS "YOU MAKE ME PRESIDENT OR

YOU'LL BE SORRY, MY LOBBYISTS WILL MAKE YOU PAY"

Go Hillary – fight the Obama cheating and deception that is trying to steal the election by blocking FL and MI.

As horrible a condition as our country is in economically, I can't believe that anyone would back a candidate that says he doesn't know anything about economics. Are you really serious that McCain is a viable candidate? He's only "viable" because of party loyalty- the Republicans that will vote for him just because he's a Republican. But anyone who thinks he'd actually be a good president is kidding themselves….really let's stay in war for 100 years at $12billion a month??? How about we just start packing our things and get ready for the life of slavery we have coming to us since China and all the other countries we're borrowing money from basically own us because people who can't balance their checkbooks think they can run a country. Better yet- why don't we get Clinton to loan us the money we need to get this country out of debt.

You know what is really disheartening- reading how we are all fighting one another. This is just what the republuicans want us to do. We are our own worst enemies right now. I am a huge Barack Obama supporter but the truth is if Hillary were to miracously win the nomination somehow I would have to vote for her. I do not want to see another 3rd term for George Bush. We all know that she cannot win and Obama will be the Democratic nominee, so why all of the bitterness? Let us finally start working together to get the republicans out of office- that is the real fight!

Well, who knows what Hillary might have told these "big shots" about Obama? Hillary met with them today, and given the history of the Clintons, you never can tell what she might have said about Obama. Is this what is exciting Pelosi?

Well, CNN, the Clinton News Nework was leading the voter astray by trying to make the voter believe that Hillary Clinton had progressed on Obama and in Indiana she was leading by 4 percentage points, while in North Carolina, with the states Governor's support, had cut into Obama's percentage so that he was only single digets ahead of the Great Hillary Clinton. Wrong…………1 and half percentage points in Indiana and 14 percentage points in North Carolina! MSNBC has better, more even handed reporting on this primary. Yeah for Jack for speaking his mind and NOT taking part in the CNN RUSE!

To Jane NC What??? This very news outlet that you are blogging on has a portal for donation to HRC. As far as FL and Mi go that will be resolved for the good of the country. Hillary knew the votes wouldnt be counted, and her and her lying husband voted for the very rulle that says they couldn't be counted. If she were ahaed she wouldn't be concerned about them. Wake up..

CLINTON SUPPORTERS :

ANSWER

THIS

PLEASE

If it's important that EVERY vote counts, and it's been determinied that with FL & MI counted, Clinton still trails in popular votes, delegates, states won…… If the DNC and superdelegates wer to side with Clinton on this, would that NOT be discounting the voters (since Obama would still have the most votes WITH Michigan and Florida counted??)

I was just curious how you guys felt about that since the argument seems to be that we want every vote to count. Please explain.

If it's all about making sure votes COUNT, how do they count when the majority vote is overturned?

***CNN post this please *****

I'm from Florida and I want my vote counted. I will support Obama but under no circumstances will I support Clinton. I would rather vote for Stalin than Clinton! GO BARACK!

Will you please listen to yourselves? Read the things you have written and tell me how intelligent you all sound. You have really shown why you just go out and follow the crowd without thought or reason. If you spent a few minutes listening or thinking things through, you might not sound like a bunch of grade school brats.

You go Hillary! This is what i love about you! You know what you want, and what we need, don't give up Hillary it will all turn full circle, you'll see…! WE WANT HILLARY!!!! WE WANT HILLARY!

I have one question. Why does everyone keep saying that because African-Americans are voting for Obama that we are racist, or just blindly following Obama. Why can't African-Americans vote for Obama because they simply like him, or think he is a better candidate? No one was constantly taking polls when African-Americans were voting for white candidates. And has everyone forgotten that in the last 2 elections there were 2 African-Americans running and African-Americans voted overwhelmingly for the white candidate (Al Sharpton and Alan Keyes). Why was there no protest of racism then? Black people vote for the candidate they think can get the job done, and the candidate that represents their interests. That is why they did not vote for Keyes or Sharpton.

Annie, the Rezko trial has slowed down just as much as Paul vs Clinton trial has. Be careful what YOU ask for.

Albreta…it figures, your type of person is what breeds racism in this country. I am a white, female, 53, blue collar worker and I support Obama…..I am so fed up of the Clintons and their politics.

She has a trial here in CA, why aren't you talking about that one. She worked for a law office in Oakland during the 60's who helped with the people in Black Panthers accused of murder and people who claimed to be commuist. There were so many lies when they were in AK, I lived there I know. Plus all the WH mess that was during the Clinton terms.

So give me a break.

Michigan and Florida should be seated. Florida delegates should be allocated based on the actual votes, none of this BS appeasing the Obama campaign. Michigan should be negotiated between the two campaigns. That's the fair way of splitting the delegates!!!

YES COUNTING THE MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA VOTES WOULD BE THE AMERICAN WAY!!!!!

WE THE PEOPLE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE!!!!

DATES OR OTHERWISE ALL WE KNOW IS WE ARE BEING ROBBED OF OUR RIGHT TO HAVE OUR VOTES COUNTED!

WE ARE WITH YOU HILLARY———– COUNT THE VOTES!!!!!!!!

Hillary is the stronger of the two candidates period. Unfortunately, this country is tremendously anti-woman as evidenced by the attacks Hillary has suffered at the "blogs" of Obama supporters. I have read such things as she should go home to her 11 cats, bake cookies etc. I will no longer call myself a Democrat after this election if Obama is the nominee. Obama played the race card and worse he played the anti-woman card.

All of you supporting Hillary Clinton must be absolutely out of your minds. Time and time again she resorts to small time, disrespectful slander towards Senator Obama. All the while needing to spend her own money towards her own campaign and put herself so far in debt because no one else will give her any money. Unlike Obama who has set records with his donations from people such as myself. If you think that she would make a better president than Obama you need to go lock yourself in a closet.

Now she is trying so desperately to get the MI and FLA votes because she is getting her tail whooped. It was not Obamas fault that those states voted early. If you don't follow the rules then you dont get to play. Most of us learned that lesson in the 1st grade people.

This woman has lost it! I heard her comments today regarding the black vote. She's deliberately trying to divide the party Super Idiots! Casts your lots and let the chips fall where they may! She's not in the driver's seat; SHE'S THE LOSER!! And, is acting her part quite well, I might add.

"Another way of looking at the status of the candidates is to use 2004 election results to ask how many 2004 Electoral College votes in states that John Kerry won does each candidate have to date. In fact, if one sums the Electoral College vote of the states that went Democrat in 2004 according to whether Sen. Clinton or Sen. Obama prevailed, one finds that Sen. Clinton again leads, with 159 of the 2004 Democratic Electoral College votes in her column vs. 85 in Sen. Obama's column. "–Beth Daponte, sr. research scholar Inst. for Social & Policy Studies at Yale 5/4/08

159 to 85. Obama cannot win the GE.

How come Hillary was okay with not seating the votes when she was winning?

When she started losing, it became extremely important to her that the votes get seated.

Bottom line – Florida and Michigan agreed to not be included. Why have rules if you don't follow them. That doesn't work, unless your name is Clinton.

She had the African American vote on the beginning but due to her and Bill's own mistakes they started losing them.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AND READ THIS….EVEN WITH FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN, HILLARY DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO BEAT OBAMA.

She is too far behind. Florida would only give her about 30 delegates and Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, but she would only get about the same amount there, too….She is more than 164 behind….still losing.

And typical of Hillary supporters to want HER to gain from illegitimate elections, but not want Obama to get the uncommitted votes. This is why you folks are not winning. People are tired of two faced double talking misrepresenting liars who will do and say anything to win.

Obama O-8!

Why does the press have complete disregard for the over 15 million voters who have backed her? She is our representative in this race!!!
How dare the media treat her campaign as if it were a sick exercise in which we voters do not exist! What gives media the right to decide when a nomination is over? I thought this was a democracy!

 Before her PA win, Hillary was 7 to 8 points behind in IN and was outspent over 2:1.  Despite this, she won Indiana by 2 points.  This is not just a 2 point win, this is a 10 point gain in just 3 weeks.  Obama only made a 10 point gain in PA in EIGHT weeks with heavy spending, and he did NOT win.  NC is tough for Clinton, with 38% AA population and 90%+ voting Obama.  So the AA votes alone gave Obama at least 34% .  He won at 62%, so he got no more than 28% from all other groups, combined.  

This is not exactly a winning strategy in all of the many states where the AA population is not significant.

This world is full of people who give up everyday and throw in the towel when things get tough. That's not a leader. But there are some people who fight until the end, and never give up, no matter what. That is the kind of President I want, a fighter. The media wants her out, Obama followers want her out, but 50 percent of the party want her to stay, so she should stay, and just maybe, she can pull it out, if not, then a least she gave her best shot.

Why is it soooooo hard for people to understand? Obama WAS NOT ON THE Michigan ballot! How can anyone say that the vote should count in MI? Its mind boggling to me how anyone including Hillary can seriously say that these votes should count. She says “count the votes” it’s like telling Boston Red Socks that we are going to give the World Series to the Yankees even though they did not play in the WS. She is really sick….

McCAIN WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT IF ODRAMA GETS THE NOMINATION!!!!!!

SWIFTBOAT!!!!!!

Guys and Gals,

I am safely ensconced down in Australia and away from the hype and partisan games being played. As an intereseted observer I think the arguments over Mi and FL are silly and self serving.

The rules where for all that the vote would not count. All campaigns planned for this and did not do their thing with appearances, GOTV and registration campaigns so the results are not reliable. Indeed in one of the contests only one front running candidate was on the ballot.

If the rule was 50% delegates but campaign your heart out then it is likely that Sen. Clinton would have still won but by how much, not the margin she claims and is it possible that Sen. Edwards would have achieved a result to keep him in the game? You just cant guess what ifs.

No campaigning always means the highest profile candidiate has an advantage. All the candidiates followed the rules more or less and no individual candidate should be disadvantaged by having these flawed results I support the idea of seating delegates as it will be required to get the dems home in Nov but it has to be done equitably. Here lies the problem, neither candidate is really interested in this being done equitably.

Sen. Obama is ahead comfortable and barring being found in bed with a dead woman or a live child should get the rest of the delgates required for the nomination on the rules as they stand. The will want the delegates seated but probably only on a 50:50 Split to not loose ground.

Sen Clintons campaign must know they are no hope to get the nomination but for 100% of the delegates being seated on the results as they stand. Even then it is only going to get closer, not a definite win for her. To cut the delgation numbers to 50% or sit them on an a basis equal to the average winning margin in Clinton states will still not get her the numbers she needs to win. And that is the only goal of both campaigns.

Sen Clinton's argument conveniently fits with the justice model but have no doubt if the show was on the other foot whe would be agruing the other side. Here only hope of wining is all or nothing so she is shooting for that.

If anyone can put a logical argument why a compromise or negotiated seating plan is not the only fair way forward I would love to here it. We can all take the candiate talking points about how we disenfranchise 2 million voters etc, but the answer is they knew this when they voted and we have already disenfranchised up to another million that may have enrolled or voted had it been a contested primary. From the Sen Obama side he must simply agree to have some delegates seated or write off November. If that is the case what is the point of winning the endorsement.

A primary primer:
1.) Primaries are not federal events so those of you who argued it's your federal "right" to vote are incorrect.
2.) Primaries are run to identify a nominee based on facts (such as delegate count); intangible criteria tied to events that have not yet occurred (such as electability in a general election) may provide some momentary speculation but in the end, do not matter
3.) Ah, Florida & Michigan-your individual votes will not count BUT you will be seated-the question to our friends in FL & MI is do you know the difference between counting votes & seating delegates
4.) Hillary & company know it's over-they need to (and should) go out with a win (and perhaps some additional donations to dent her debt). After a win in May, they can say, "gosh, we tried hard, blah blah, let's move on."
5.) Those of you who are already refusing to vote for Obama in the Fall should at least be open minded and intelligent enough to conduct your own independent research instead of falling prey to sounds bites from redneck racists.

Calm down everyone. There is no way Clinton can catch up. I'm a 64 year old woman (white since everyone is asking these days) and when I turned 60, I had a hard time accepting that I was not always right. I had to work on understanding that no one, not even me, ever stops learning. Just give her a little time and she'll learn how wrong she was to denigrate this quite wonderful potential President called Obama. Really, for all her "breast-beating" about "women", she takes her cues from Bill. I was active in the women's movement in the 60's and I see all the signs in Hillary. She does not make a move without him or Howard! But, as time goes by, it will be more obvious to the younger women just whats going on there. So…calm down everyone, we'll get there and if she goes off on O again, even her high level supporters will start to leave her. Already the trend is there. As for THAT MANIAC RUSH. He'll overdose or have a coronary–take a look, you know he's straining his heart!

I am astonished at how uniformed people actually are…how can anyone blame anyone except FL and MI for breaking the rules? All other 48 states and US territories followed the rules. Obama did not disenfranchise anyone. Furthermore, how could anyone think it's fair to add MI delegates to Clinton's count when Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot?? If FL and MI want to be seated, they should have another election..at least have another one in MI…the expense is just a penalty for breaking the rules.

Franco,
That was pretty racist. Nothing else to say

IF HILLARY PULLS OUT OF THE RACE SHE MUST RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT!!!!!!

HALF OF THE COUNTRY WANTS HER TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!!

COME ON HILLARY WHAT DO YOU SAY?

WE SUPPORT HILLARY FOR THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand what arguement HRC could be making to the superdelegates. Her arguement that she can win the big states sounds good, only if you believe those states won't vote that way in the General Election if she is not on the ticket. Is there anyone in the country that believes that NY and California will somehow become Red States this fall? Plus there are 2 more things she is forgetting. Obama has won in states that are traditionally Red. In NC by himself he had more votes than all 3 people on the Republican ticket combined! And that has been the case with several of the Southern states that he has won. So there is a good possibility that Obama can put states on the table for Dems that have not been on the table for a long time. Lastly, she keeps making the arguement that he can't win the rural vote or blue collar vote, but has it ever dawned on her that she is not winning the African-American vote. I have news for the superdelegates the Dems can't win in the fall without the African-American vote. That is why it is time for the party to unite behind the candidate that has won, and by all measuring sticks that person is Obama.

Welcome former Clinton supporters!

Hey, Bill Richardson was my first choice … but I've warmed up to Obama. The movement behind him is fantastic, as are his organization and people.

Check out Obama's web page – the spin about him not having detailed policy positions is just plain not true. If you supported Clinton for her policies, you get almost all those same policies with Obama and without Clinton's baggage from the 90s.

I would have supported Clinton had she won – a McCain administration, the continuation of this immoral Iraq war, is just too ghastly to contemplate. Please do your patriotic duty – vote Obama and end the war.

Sharon from Minnesota – THE most misinformed person on this board. You are showing your ignorance. Obama & Hillary's policies are virtually identical & both are FAR different than McCain's, You are obviously voting based on something besides issues so what is it? Race, maybe? BTW – it sure seems to me that Hillary supporters are the rude & outrageous ones. They want to cheat to win & see nothing wrong with that. Pitiful. They're splitting the party in 2 & don't care. Selfish ANTI-AMERICANS !!!!!!

I was just called by a friend to turn on the "best political team on t.v. (CNN) and am dumbfounded by the response to a question posed by the host (4:50 pm). She (don't know her name) asked a panel of old men with fancy titles about the fact that the outcome last night was expected, so why so many political analysts calling for Mrs. Clinton to bow out. There response; uh, um…well…

I'm sickened by these so-called political analysts giving their opinions on how the democratic party is being hurt by Mrs. Clinton's candidacy. GOOD GRIEF!!! This is perhaps the most exciting time in our history in regards to presidential candidates. Hey, CNN why don't you find some other 'opinions" from people who are not so far removed from what Americans truly desire. Their pretentious attitudes and elitist opinions are disgusting!

I can't believe all the nasty Clinton supporters and their comments. I guess I should expect that.

I'm Form Michigan , Obama And his Campaign BLOCKED The Re-vote Here In Michigan . He Will Not Get My Vote . If He makes it To the General Election . I Feel The Democratic Party Has Given Us A Bad Choice If Obama Gets The Nomination , And Will Vote For Sen. John McCain !!!!. I'd Rather Have 4 Years John McCain , Than 1 Day Of Obama !!!

Obama Pissed Off This Michigan Democrat !!!!!!!!!

Ohhh, what I wouldn't give to have been a fly on that wall….

This woman is pathetic and power hungry. Why are the Clintons so greedy for power? The voters have spoken and that cannot change. There will be a revolution if she tries to cheat Obama out of this nomination and she will not win the general election if she tries to do this as the Black voters will teach her a lesson of a lifetime.

They have made a fool of themselves throughtout this election and I have no respect for the Clintons anymore.

Get out of this race as it is over. Wake up Billary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was one of the voters in Florida who complained BEFORE the primary that my vote was not going to count. I did not hear Hilary Clinton complaining then that we were being disenfranchised. There were people who decided not to vote knowing that it was not going to be counted. I am not sure the outcome would have been the same if we voters knew that our votes would count. There are no redos in politics.

I am a voter from Florida and I voted for Hillary and I can't believe that my vote isn't being counted. I think the problem is that the nation knows everything about Hillary Clinton and we know nothing about Obama. But I'll bet that McCain will find things that we don't know about Obama and drag them out after he gets the nomination in hopes that we will vote for him.

'ITS ALL ABOUT HER, NOT WHAT AMERICAN VOTERS WANT."OBAMA 08′

CLINTON SUPPORTERS :

ANSWER

THIS

PLEASE

If it's important that EVERY vote counts, and it's been determinied that with FL & MI counted, Clinton still trails in popular votes, delegates, states won…… If the DNC and superdelegates wer to side with Clinton on this, would that NOT be discounting the voters (since Obama would still have the most votes WITH Michigan and Florida counted??)

I

was

just

curious

how

you

guys

felt

about

that since the argument seems to be that we want every vote to count. Please explain.

What is up with Obama's Birth Certificate missing in Hawaii??

No one seems to find an original Birth Cret. in Hawaii?

Where was he born? Is he an American. CNN do your job!

I just hope & pray that Hillary gets the money she needs. she is BEST canidate for president. whats wrong with all these American people? why dont they realize the hatred Obama heard for many years? All those people who are backing Obama, they will be blamed just like Obama ( as soon as he ruins the GOOD USA. some are ignorant & dint realize whats ahead. those people need to wake up & realize QUICK, I will switch to republican if Hillary doesn't win..& its NOT THE WHITES SAYING RACIST REMARKS– ITS OBAMAS PASTOR. so all the super delagates, well as Americans we need to chang the law, your say shouldn't have nothing to do with voting. VOTING SHOULD BE UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHO VOTE..

The big state argument just doesn't hold much water. I don't care who is the nominee, the Democrats will take NY and NJ and CA. The difference being that Obama has a chance to steal some of those smaller southern states away from the Republicans. If Dems can take a few of those states that tend to always go Rep. Then these swings states don't really come into play. Look at 2000, if Gore takes his home state of TN, then what happened in Florida wouldn't have mattered at all. Take a couple of the smaller southern states in 04 and OH doesn't come into play as much. Barack opens up the opportunity to take away some of those states from the Reps, and he will also take NY, NJ, CA, IL which always go Democratic.

Any of you that think voting for McCain would be better than voting for the Democratic nominee, whoever they are and would do so out of spite, need to grow up already. I've seen it from many supporters on both sides of the fence. Either of these two would be better than McCain. While I personally feel that Barack is the better candidate, I would gladly vote for Hillary if she was the candidate. Don't throw your vote away just because you are bitter and angry that your candidate didn't win.

May 7th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Mr. Obama will lose the election for the Dems.
Mrs. Clinton will win the election for the Dems.

Clean and simple. Super delegates need to decide what end
result they want.

—————————————————————————–

tim, that's so "clean and simple"! Very nicely stated with no facts or evidence whatsoever! Thank you for making me see the light!

Doesn't this mean she is asking them to disenfranchise the voters?

Obama O-8!

Most European countries and Canada have moved towards conservative leaders and policies and yet you have chosen to cast a vote for one of the most liberal and inexperienced Senator for President.
America is asleep at the wheel.
Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who has the knowledge and fortitude to steer your country back to peace and prosperity.
It is stupidity to think that you measure her electibility by likability.

Amen Terrence!!

Let me get this straight. Before the primaries, all candidates agreed that if Michigan and Florida changed the dates of their respective primaries their delegates would not be seated. Simple. Those are the rules of the primaries.

But now that she is losing and needs those delegates, she is playing the disenfranchise card.

It is like a game of one on one basketball. Both players agree that first to 10 wins. Then when one is about to reach 10, then other says no we need to go to 20.

But what is most laughable is that they want to count Michigan when Obama wasn't even on the ballot. On the somehow claim it was a fair election. OMG.

It is these kind of politics we are sick of and exactly why Obama is doing so well.

Go Obama.

Why does Puerto Rico get 65 delegates? They aren't even a state! The DNC really needs to review this process. And in turn, MI and FL don't count, period. If you want to be nice and seat the delegates, they have to be split 50/50.

Hillary! How low will you allow yourself to be?

Hillary was against seating FL and MI before she was for it. Or something like that – as long as she wins.

To Comedy Central: You're joking right?

Motion denied, counsellor. Sit down.

Honestly! I don't understand why this is still an issue. We, as a party, cannot have double standards. Isn't that what the republicans do? Either you play by the rules or you get spanked for breaking the rules. Isn't this the same thing the Bush people did in the 2000 election?. There were rules and they decided that the could make adjustments to the rules to suit their purposes. She's been playing the rupublican playbook throughout this election process and now it's coming back to bite her and it should! We should not waste anymore time and money on this!

I raise hand and say me too!!!! Vote for McCain if Hillary's not the nominee. Don't worry McCain you don't have to campaign any more. We 75% of Hillary's supporter will vote for you at the general election. The other side will sit there fold their arms and watch McCain calibrate. We Hillary’s supporter will cheer you up at least 50%.

Hillary or McCain.

Cory, FL you were making complete sense, until the middle of your arguement. Why would you punish the Democractic members of the FL or MI congress, or even the DNC for that matter? If you want to punish anyone you should vote out the Republican members of the legistlatures in those states who violated the rules. The Republicans in both of those states are in the majority. It is not a case of the Dems in those states not wanting to do anything, they were simply outnumbered. If it were the other way around and the RNC did the same I would expect the RNC to uphold the rules and do the same thing.

WHITE WATER! "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMEN" DO WE NOT REMEMBER THIS THE RICH LITLE@@##$% IS DONE

Hillary Clinton is the PLAGUE!!! Her delusional supporters should ALL join the Republican Party since they would rather see John McCain president than the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. I swear, I LOATHE Hillary Clinton. She evokes the EXACT SAME response in me that George W. Bush does — DISGUST!!! The Clintons will be the DEATH of the Democratic Party — THAT will be their legacy! They make me want to puke!

To those who say Bloody Barack so he can't win, Are you kidding me.
Try to remember way back when, Hillary didn't care much about
FL & MI only know she does that she is losing. Let's try to get a grip people. I know we all have strong feeling for our canidates but lets not forget what being a Democrat is about.

P.S. Hillary should NOT be VP…she is too totally opposite of Obama and would just drag him down. A joint ticket is the WORST idea anyone could come up with!!!!

I love Hillary and totally agree with her platform…
She lost…
I can't vote for Obama even though his platform is very similar to Hillary's…
So I will vote for McCain whose platform is the total opposite of Hillary…

If I only had a brain…

Super Delegates or Inferior Delegates

It is in the hands of the so called Super Delegates. If this falls apart it will be their indecision that caused it not Clinton and not Obama.

Your lack of action, one way or the other will be the cause of the dire consequences that awaits. You will have no one else to blame!

Personally I think you are all cowards!

You know the differences in policy – you understand the issues of gender vs race – you know how the political is going. What are you waiting for? If the average American can make a decision. What is your problem?

If you are waiting to see what changes or who wins before you decide so you can be on the winning side – then you are truly a coward and should be stripped of you super delegate designation. You are truly Inferior

My hats off to those of you who have the courage to pick NOW!

I don't understand how the Hillary supporters do not see how she is dividing the party. Unbelievable.
We NEED a Democrat in the office come November no matter who it is. Do your research people- Obama and Clinton are not that different in policies.

Sharon Minnesota, your name is plastered on every CNN blog, spouting endless Clinton bias as if you have nothing better to do all day. Give it a rest already.

The whole ancient debate about the "big states" is a flawed strategy. Both of the most recent presidential elections had George W. Bush carrying mostly small states; remember he won both times by carrying mostly small states and the democrats carried most of the large ones!! The first presidential race may have been flawed but the theory still applies. His approval rating now is 25-30% (I'm pretty sure it's 29% but correct me if I'm wrong); do you honestly think that a majority of the people these small states and going to vote for McCain who represents a third term of Bush? I don't think so.

Hillary needs to shut up and get out while the democrats have a chance to get a landslide victory over McCain. She's been defeated and there is no logical way to accept the votes from MI if Obama wasn't on the ballot. If you seat FL, it helps Hillary but she would still essentially be defeated.

Regardless, how many more millions of dollars can she afford to continue to lend her campaign?

Go Obama '08

COUNT MY VOTE!!!

I VOTED IN FLORIDA AND I DONT THINK THAT PEOPLE'S VOTES IN GUAM SHOULD COUNT AND NOT MINE. I PAY TAXES AND HAVE BEEN A LIFELONG MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE MY VOTE AWAY.

IF MY VOTE IS NOT COUNTED I WILL VOTE FOR RON PAUL AND LEAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOREVER !!!

DS…It is people like you that will make us Clinton supporters vote for McCain. Thank you for reaffirming my reason for voting for McCain in November..

If the Super Delegates want to win in November, they should tell, not ask , Clinton to get out now. She is like a dog with a bone, snapping and growling at anyone who dares cross her demands. OBAMA 08

Hillary Clinton is doing the right thing in regard to the voters of Michigan and Florida. There would not have been so much CHOAS if the top Democratic VIP's had been doing their job. It was not the voters of Florida and Michigan that changed the election date but the state legislatures. Obama and his supporters did not want these elections to count because they would have lost and Senator Clinton would be ahead in actual votes of the citizens. Just this action by the Obama camp shows what a hyprocrite he is. Maybe all the elections where voter fraud has been discovered should be thrown out. Just Tuesday, 5 cases of Obama supporters doing dirty were discovered and all Obama said he was sorry. He is Sorry. The Democratic Party needs new leadership.

This is what you get when you get an unintelligent electoracte. Michigan and Florida broke DNC rules. They KNEW over a year ago by pushing their primaries up, their delegates wouldn't count. That is between the democratic leadership and voters of the individual states. Obama nor Clinton hade anything to do with it. Read people. Quit mouthing off to show your ignorance when you won't even bother reading the facts. You don't get to benefit from breaking the rules. And I offer this – if a single delegate from either state is counted, John Edwards should immediately file a lawsuit. Who knows what his chances would have been if there were valid primaries in either state. But it is a moot point, BECAUSE THE DELEGATES DON'T COUNT, THE STATES BROKE THE RULES. Period.

If you are a Fl or MI voter and you want it to count… VOTE OUT YOUR STATE REPS THAT MOVED UP YOUR PRIMARY AND BROKE THE RULES, then VOTE IN PEOPLE WHO WILL FOLLOW THE RULES IN THE NEXT ELECTION PRIMARY.

Your argument that your votes should count, has got to be the farthest from logic and reasoning that I have ever seen. Typical Clinton supporters – they, like her, will do anything to get what they want. What a bunch of selfish 5#!7%!

I think superdelegates are waiting to hear Barack Obama also before they decide.

I'm furious that she has instigated Florida and Michigan people to whine about disobeying the rules then wanting their votes to count as they stand. I knew something was up when she didn't remove her name in Michigan like all the other candidates did.

Voters will either go with Democratic or Republican platforms. If people are voting for anything other than that…then it's NOT informed voting on issues…that's kind of how Bush trashed this country to start with isn't it?

And she didn't win all the big states. She won Texas primary, Obama won Texas caucus…so to me that's a tie. And she only won big states by using VERY questionable tactics instead of her own record.

If she got any of those commitments, she'd be bragging about it, not staying quiet.

Jackson May 7th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

No offense, it's not Hillary or Obama's fault FL and MI broke the rules. It is unfair to them that they don't get the delegates they deserve though and that is why I'm for a re-vote or allocate the delegates.

Another thing is, I'm not sure why Obama supporters are so against it. It's not like Obama won't get delegates out of this, he would be even closer to the 2025. Overall though, I believe it's fair that the voters have their votes counted because it's part of the U.S and they deserve to be counted despite their officials breaking the rules.
.
.
.
Jackson, you are a man/woman of reason when it comes to blame. It is neither Hillary or Obama's fault, but the blinded people still think it is. The reality is that it's the own state's political figures that allowed this disenfranchisement to occur. I don't necessarily think a re-vote is possible, as it has already been brought up, and the answer was "No, impossible." I am not afraid of a re-vote, I am sure Obama would win those states as well. Think about it, when FL an MI had their elections, Hillary was the only candidate on the ticket and received roughly 52% of the votes. Wouldn't you think she would have made a sweep?? And this is when Obama wasn't even known in America. Now, can you imagine if they did a re-vote after everyone knows Obama and now Obama on the ticket? God knows that Clinton is praying to get the votes of the elderly and Latinos in Florida, this is the only reason she is pressing for a re-vote. FL and MI: Clinton doesn't care about you, really, she only wants your vote that will push her into Power. Hasn't she lied and financed herself all the way through the primaries. She's a good candidate and had my full support a year ago, but things change and I saw the real Hillary through her Republican-style campaign. Thanks, but no thanks. Anyways, even if they counted Clinton's votes casted in FL… she would STILL be behind Obama:

Delegates – Votes
Needed = 2,025

Obama 1852
(MI and FL included) = 16,556,309
(MI and FL excluded) = 15,980,095

Clinton 1690
(MI and FL included) Votes = 16,452,337
(MI and FL excluded) = 15,253,042

End of argument. Thanks!

i just wont vote if hilary isnt the nominee for president. i wont vote for macain hes like bush for the rich. i voted in mi and i want my vote to count dont like obama he went to that church for a long time and knew what that man was preaching and he still stayed. hillary is ready on day one the clinton yrs were good

Power hungry, delusional woman. Obama 08′

sensorship is unamerican and my comments had nothing wrong with it SO I WILL SAY IT ONE MORE TIME GET OUT THE CRASH CART CLINTON HAS FLATLINNED SHE IS DONE ITS OVER MICH AND FLA GET OVER IT VOTE IN NOV OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE

I think we all have short term memory cause didn't we all expect Obama to win North Carolina anyway by like 25 points? Why is this such a big deal for him to win another red republican state cause the republicans are going to win North Carolina in the general election anyway. Winning Ohio and Pennsylvania for the democrats are much bigger wins than winning North Carolina! ** HILLARY '08 **

Monica Lewinsky 2008

The Hillary Clinton sycophants posting on this blog are the MOST DELUSIONAL people on the planet, at this moment. Hillary Clinton is NOT a better candidate against John McCain than Obama, she WILL NOT win the nonination, the FLA and MI delegates will NOT be seated according to how Hillary Clinton says they should be. This woman is EVIL. She is the poster child for the National Narcissistic Personality Disorder Foundation! Enough already!!! Superdelegates — grow a spine and END THIS THING! Drive a stake through the witch's heart, chop off her head, expose her to the light of day, do SOMETHING, ANYTHING to deliver the country from the curse of this UNDEAD THING, Shrillary!

If Hillary does this, I am done with her as a woman and as a politician.

If you care about substance in a presidential candidate, you're for Hillary Clinton. Listen for substance, people. Don't settle for feel-good rhetoric. We have serious problems in this country and need the most capable person we can get to lead this country.

Don't take my word for it–compare Clinton's and Obama's views on the issues, in their own words, on their own websites. The more knowledgeable, thorough and capable person is clear.

Hillary stays in this fight because she believes what any intelligent person should believe . . . substance matters.

Sharon;

Bippy? No wonder you are voting for Hillary. That saying is as stale as Hillary and then some … Like from Rowan and Martins Laugh-In. No wonder she wears all those ridiculous outdated pantsuits and you follow her and drink the Clinton cocktail from the 90s.

It bothers me when people in this day and age write:
"Mr. Obama will lose the election for the Dems.
Mrs. Clinton will win the election for the Dems."

What is the reasoning behind this type of a comment? She guy is winning because people are behind him….that simple.

The only reason for these type of comments that i can think of is that he's BLACK. And i thought that we were living in the 21st century.

But at the end of the day we the NON-WHITE people cannot help but feel sadness for our selfs.

Obama has the lead in popular votes and pledge delegates. If the super delegates give the nomination to Clinton it will split the democratic party and we will have 4 more years of Bush politics. The democrats can not win without the african american votes which went to Obama. It is time for the clintons to go home.

sharon, stop your whining!! It's mighty funny how you can tell Obama to play nice when Hillary has done anything but. And if there was anything that you didn't agree with that came out of Obama's camp, it was in response to some dirt Hillary threw on him. She by no means has run a clean campaign. I just pray the Democratic party can come together soon and she hasn't destroyed it.

And like Paul said: The fat lady has done an encore and gone to bed!

HILLARY, GIVE IT A REST!!!

How can she beat McCain if she can't beat Obama?
And you so called Dems that woud switch party to vote for McCain will just make us all suffer another four years. You all are most likely the reason Uncle George had 8 years! Just like Hillary you are selfish and would rather let the country and your own kids suffer before trying to take a chance to heal this country. You think McSame is going to send his kids to Iraq? He rather send yours!

Thank for your services to the Country. We're so greatful! However, your time is over. we need a new gerenation of Leaders with new ideas.

Do exactly the same thing the republican party did. 1/2 vote for all delegates from FL and MI. In MI Clinton gets the fraction of delegates representing the votes she received and Obama gets the the rest of the votes.

FOOLS FOR HILLARY…we all know that after 35 years of deceit and lies, that she will pull out every weapon to keep her attempt to ascend to the throne of power. pure evil never stops.

cory in fl
Right on! I live in Pensacola Fl and I voted for Sen. Clinton
Obama DID block the chance to do a revote because he knew the out come .
If Florida voters are not recognized, there WILL be a price to pay for the Dem. party.

Obama is a man who has no true long term record of what he has stood for IN AN ACTUAL POLITICAL POSITION. We should be thanking Clinton for her drive to continue forward. Time tells all truths. Don't you American people want to know EVERYTHING about the person who is to run this country, which by the way, is in great turmoil!?

I have read all the above "trash"…you dummies deserve the empty suit Obama,,,personally I am moving to France…

I think the way she has run her campaign, changing messages, stealing messages from other campaigns, running out of money, mismanaging her people, going negative, lying constantly, trying to change the rules (MI & FL) only when it impacted her negatively……. add all this up. This is NOT the kind of Commander in Chief we want to run our country!

Now look at the way Obama ran his campaign. He began on a CHANGE and HOPE message and its still his message today. CONTINUITY. He raised the most money for any presidential campaign in history, without Hillary's big-name donors. CREATIVE.
He said it like he saw it. HONESTY. He stuck to the rules in MI and FL. CONSTANCY.

Add it up, its not that big a mystery to see who should be Commander in Chief. Her experience as First Lady does not override his judgement and qualifications to be President. I'll take honesty over a liar any day of the week. As to the rest? The Presdient has an advisor for every subject there is……….. and Congress really makes all the decisions except war, anyway.

Kathy in Florida – you are the first sane person to post on this. I hope that both Florida and Michigan are seated 50/50 where they can take part in the event.

Kudos to you to being bold enough to stand up for playing by the rules – it is too bad your state governor let your state get into such a mess in the first place, but it isn't surprising, is it? The Republicans would like nothing better than to have Florida generate another round of "stolen" election conspiracy theory.

Don't let the party disenfranchise minority voters in Florida and Michigan!

Keep up the fight , Hillary!

From what I understand from Barack campaign that they will agree to divide delegates evenly…I read that alittle while back.

If Obama is truely the peoples candidate he would let the people ( Fl, MI ) vote but he only for the people when its convinient, what is he afraid of looking like a phony? ( TOO LATE).

Clinton or McCain, I dont vote for ROOKIES, much less for cry babies.

If I were Hillary, I wouldn't be especially proud of the Michigan primary results. Hers was the only name on the ballot, and she STILL only got 55% of the vote!

Why, Why, Why? I can see why Michelle Obama said, now she is finally proud to be an American.

Just read all the rasist rehtoric comming from the Clinton Supporters.

It because he is a Black Man. But let me say this, Barak will get the vote, but do any of the Bloggers truly think that if a White Male dominated sociaity has had its foot on the neck of African Americans for 400 hundred years, that now, this day, they will let a Black man be thier Commander and Chief?

I fear for the Obama family . People are showing no respect for the courage of this American family, but what is previlling is the deep rooted arogance and rasist form of thinking that has prevented this country from moving forward the dream of Democracy for all. This is why many countries around the world does not trust the United States.

like most of you said,,, hillary wont win AND will do anything to win,, even if its illegal, evil,, thats her and bill,, they have always done this to get what they want and then hide it,, claim they dont have it ,, or they will shw it at a later date.. to those who want her? is this the kind of person you want? one that lies and turns things around to her advantage? Time to grow up and smell the REAL coffee here,,,, she lies obama doesnt,,, Hes proven himself over and over again,, those who want hillary dont have the GUTS to know she lies, admit it,,,, its been proven so many times,,, GO OBAMA!!!!!!!

Your article says that this took place yesterday, Tuesday afternoon!!? Golly, that Hillary sure does get around!

OBAMA '08

Bill Clinton 2008

You all think it is over for Hillary, but it only takes one more thing for the biased news media to get the guts to announce and their 'precious' is history. Is this why the Rezko trial slowed down so obama's involment doesn't come out until he gets the nomination. McCain couldn't beat Hillary but he squash obama like the bug he is.

Yes we will
Hillary 08 Or Mc Cain08

Putting herself before the party….Hillary knows that Obama is unelectable. I will not vote for him..and I am betting that white women and blue collar workers will not vote for him either. guess what..without them Dems cannot win…Oprah and her money, the national media and Hollywood are the ones promoting this
person and the sheep are falling right in line.

When Hillary signed on with the DNC not to count the votes in FL & MI she did so with FULL knowledge. The DNC is NOT to blame – our Republican Governor did this to our votes! Crist is the one who moved out date, despite repeated warnings. The one to blame for your vote not counting is the Republican Party, and Charlie Crist in particular. Want satisfaction? Get rid of Crist next time around! Don't penalize our entire country by letting a republican win! Our republican governor's decision to MAKE your counts NOT count is the problem, not the DNC.

As for Hillary…Her "blue-collar" lifestyle allows her to "loan" herself over 11 million dollars!?! I certainly don't have 2 commas in my bank account, do you? Of course, she isn't losing this money – it's only a loan that her donors will repay. Wish I could spend over 11 mil and have other people repay me.

We all know what would be said if the S.D. went to Hillary. Guess what that means. McCain in 08. Dem.'s put themselves in this mess.

If the DNC reads these articles and comments, I'd say, please – stick to the agreed upon rules. Seat them all 50/50 where they make no difference but can participate from that point forward.

Anything else is pandering to a small child throwing a big tantrum because her game plan failed. She agreed to the rules at the time. At the time was the time to oppose them.

Game over.

Beyond that, until the DNC takes a stand on enforcing the rules and tells the super-delegates to "man" up and endorse now, I won't be voting for any candidate for any office unless they endorse Obama. And I won't be donating any money to the DNC or those candidates either.

Cory: Give everyone on this blog a break. Florida and Michigan did not follow the rules.

i hope someone demands a recount in one of the states, and we can have dimpled chads and hanging chads. and maybe they'll push back the november election because of it, and we'll have bush in office for 2 more years.

or maybe we can settle this with a chess/boxing match.

Kim in Dallas, TX and all the other misinformed democrats out there:

How you ever come up with Clinton being to blame for dividing the party is ludicrous. It's you and your rude friends who have had a great deal of influence in turning us off. Pride has nothing to do with our choice to support Hillary or McCain. Come out of your smug delusional state and admit that you and Barack Obama are the divisive factor in this situation.

We happen to believe that Barack Obama is not fit for the presidency and John McCain is the next best choice after Hillary Clinton. So, please get off your high horse and give a little credit to us people who have a right to make their own choice and a vote to use as they see fit.

Get off Clinton's back. The blame is all on you and your candidate.

Well, if as some above have suggested, Hillary cannot win even if we seat the delegates of Michigan and Florida as they voted, then why not just seat them? Everybody is happy and Obama still wins. We still lose in November, which will make The GOP happy.

I seem a bit worried by now, if we want a Democrat in the White House in 2008, I believe the better candidate is Hillary. Obama can not get the Blue collar worker votes, nor will rural America vote for him. If Obama win the nomination, then I will worry about having another four years of Republicans Take it from me, if Rush Limbaugh endorses Obama, I would be worried.

I think Fla. and Mich. should be outraged at being disinfranchised by the democratic party in this election process. Had they not been told their votes wouldn't count and had they been given a fair election early on like everyone else, Sen. Clinton would have carried those states. That screw-up, plus the ridiculous and complicated process of selection from the primaries and caucuses, may have cost her the nomination. Those things, plus the obscene Obama-biased media, with few exceptions, are the reasons there are serious questions about whether her supporters will either vote for McCain or sit out the election. It's not losing an election that causes bitterness; it's losing it so unfairly.

Gee, Guys and Gals, enough already. Are we all Democrats. Both Hillary and Barack are superb candidates, but only one can be nominated. I prefer either as President of the U.S.A. and it would be sweet if we could have them both on the same ticket. So, let's stop name calling and bickering and support the Democratic Party in 2008.

I watched Hillary on the news. It is so very sad. I feel so sorry for her. It's over and everyone knows it but Hillary. I expect Bill and Chelsea to defect to Obama very soon. Hillary will still be campaigning in January when Barack Obama is talking the oath of office. Hillary must be very lonely. The Super Delegates need to step up and pledge behind Obama to stop this. Hillary is not going to do anything but continue to damage the party. It appears she doesn't care. YES WE CAN UNITE EVERYONE. OBAMA 08

The Democractic Party is in quite a dilemma. They probably know that Hillary Clinton would be a more formitable candidate against McCain,
but they are being held hostage by the block of African-American voters. Well… there is still 75% of other voters that are not using the race card as the criteria to select a President. If Hillary is not the primary choice, McCain will win. GO HILLARY.

regardless of who i support this race needs to be over now. We need a candidate now. Not after McCain makes his acceptance speech! How can you make a case that you should be the super delegates choice when your behind in almost every poll that actually matters in this race? Get over florida and michigan becuase you cant include their votes fairly unless both states have a redo. You cant expect the DNC to just hand you votes. Obama is not the reason they arent being counted. They are not being counted becuase obama AND HILLARY…. AND HILLARY agreed to not have them count a long with the rest of the DNC! She didnt care when she was winning, they didnt matter then! Unless she has something huge against Obama just waiting to be unleashed and ran into the ground she has no real chance. Obviously her negative attacks back fired and i believe that was her last resort so now i think shes left too beg and plead like a spoiled little girl who isnt getting her way. Its not like she cant ever run again. I can understand wanting to be the president and to save our country in one of its toughest times today but when you dont have the highest score you cant win the game. We elected bush twice! so obviously it dont matter how good you are you still wont win with out the high score!

Polls showed in Indiana and North Carolina that more than half of Hillary's supporters don't believe her and trust her judgement and they will vote for McCain. They think she can't be trusted and is not honest when she makes statements like that. They believe that she would put her party ahead of the sake of her country.

tim – how is this clean and simple?

CLINTON SUPPORTERS: If you vote McCain (as many of you say you will, then YOU will be the reason there isn't a DEMOCRAT in the White House, not OBAMA. Candidates don't put themselves into office, voters do. You are the voter.

Even WITH FL & MI, Obama still leads, so please put this argument to bed. If it were a game shifter, I could see your point, but it still keeps Obama in the lead.

You have your personal reasons for not liking a candidate – fine. But is this so important that you were willing to vote in another Bush term? All of these candidates (Clinton included) will be fine financially after the GE, but what about you? You stubborness will have you under the authority of the likes of McCain. You will not have OBAMA to blame.

i wish people who commented on here would only comment on what they know, florida dems did not have a choice on the day, flroida republicans voted on that day because they controll the state house, and i dont care who wins florida but i want my vote to count just like you would too, if your vote was taken from you what would you say?

There is no way you can seat the MI delegates for Clinton and throw out the 40% of voters who voted Uncommitted instead of for her – as that was their other choice. The Clinton supporters advocating this clearly do not care that every vote is counted, only that votes for Hillary's vote are counted.
And I am so tired of hearing that she can beat John McCain better than Obama. It would be a bit more believable if she could even beat Obama.

Hillary and McCain both represent all that is wrong with politics in America. The current 2 party system that pits "Us Against Them" "democrats vs republicans" is crap and ensures that politics remains just a game.

Can't we try something different? Just this once?

Hilary Face the fact you lost fare and square. now you dont want to concede to Obama. why? because You just want to damage obama so badly that he ends up loosing the election. your clearly not a true democrat. why? because if you were you would have conceded and done the math to see that you have lost fair and square. but now because you are loosing you want to get the florida and michigan votes counted now. what about before when things were going good for you. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT YOU SHOULD DROP OUT EVEN THE MEDIA AND THE SUPERDELEGATES. but no one wants to be seen as the one telling you to drop out. you are a very educated and experienced person so use your common sense and get out of the race now.

CLEARLY THE CLINTONS DONT CARE ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. CONCEDE.TO THIS CANDIDATE? NO WHY? BECAUSE YOU JUST HATE TO BE DEFEATED. BE A WOMAN AND CONCEDE.

Your gonna damage your own self, and be careful you might just loose re-election in new york.

There is no case to be made. Didn't she try and paint Obama as an elitest. That doesn't wash with 11 million she has lent herself. By the way when is she going to pay the vendors in Ohio?? This lady sickens me. Why doesnt the DNC put an end to this mess. It doesn't matter she has gone a long towards political suicide. She will forever struggle to be relavent after this.

May 7th, 2008 7:14 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Obama supporters,
You need Clinton's supporters, stop alienating them.
You need to ask the DNC chair why they would encourage Obama to run the same year as Hillary, it divided the party.
You need to ask Obama why he did not campaign in poor black communites, why only in white rural communities, it is very intentional and race biased.
You need to understand that the DNC/ the party, did this mess, Hillary waited her turn, after Gore, after Kerry. The party did this her to help Obama, and it is very likely that her supporters will back McCain.

Nothing that is going on has anything to do with scandal, churches, ex presidents, pastors. This problem is on the DNC.

Hating Hillary will not fix Washington, unfortunately, voting for Barack may not either, because DC has two party political system and conservative judges.

All should be upset with the party leaders and should act (write to THEM

Michigan: Obama's name was not even on the ballot. To say that is fair is absolute insanity.

Both Florida and Michigan broke DNC rules. All Barack has done is play by the rules. Saying he would go with the DNC's decision about what to do about Florida and Michigan.

You cannot possibly play fairer than he has. He's never flip flopped.

You cannot rewrite the rule book mid-way through in a way which benefits either candidate. That just will not happen.

The picture of Hillary Clinton's unsmiling face says a thousand words!

the only way she can win is thru backroom deals. politics as usual.

So, failing to win the nomination in the light of day at the polls, Senator Clinton retreats to the Clintons' favorite stomping grounds–the back rooms. Senator Obama should start seriously watching his back now as the Clinton machine starts drawing in favors accrued over the past couple of decades.

Hillary was all in favor of punishing Florida until she needed the votes

How happy will Hillary be if she steals this nomination from Obama through super delegates?

Hillary agreed Florida & Michigan would NOT count. But, now that she's losing, she tries to steal those votes. She's so transparent. C'mon W. Virginia, vote Obama and maybe she'll get the idea and quit. Or Superdelegates, it's time to do your party's work! As for those in Florida and Michigan, your argument is with the DNC, not Obama.

Why even have rules in place if Hillary can get them reversed?

She agreed to the rules before, why change now? because she's losing?

There is NO WAY I would Ever vote for Hillary. She makes me sick!

i'm telling everyone right now if florida dont count then they will lose florida, and dont give me that split vote and divide it up, i mean count the vote

Now that all the factors that did not matter in the beginning seem to matter and because she can't win in an honest way, it's time to do the Clinton two step – back room deals with threats.

We won't vote for Obama because he may beat Hillary or because of pride. We won't vote for him because he is very arrogant and has no business being President of the U.S.

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the niminating process. And we believe the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calandar."

You can not make this stuff up. This is the response from Clinton and her campaign in regards to the decision to not seat the Michigan and FLorida delegates. Of course this was prior to her falling behind drasically in the dlegate count throughout the primary season.

I THOUGHT WE WERE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH MEANS ALL 50 STATES. ALL CANDIDATES AGREED NOT TO CAMPAIGN IN THOSE STATES. IT WAS UP TO THE CANDIDATES IF THEY WANTED TO KEEP THEIR NAMES ON THE BALLOTS.

Tim and co. Too funny. Y'all have lost your mind.

BARACK OBAMA 2008

It's too late for that Hillary…Florida and Michigan shouldn't be angry with Obama or Clinton. They should be angry with their own state leaders who screwed them over by not following the rules of the game.

Democrats are so weak! I love this!

Hill and Bill – Go on a long vacation and disappear from the public. Save us all from your lies, bickering, sneakily moving goal posts, kitchen sinks, bin laden ads, pony gas tax holiday etc.

FL & MI, you would rather see McCain in the White house with the continuation of the Bush policies then to see real changes because your candidate didn't win. Sorry YOUR representatives didn't play by the rules, they are the ones you should be mad at.

everyone say the rulse, the rules, the rulse, thats cause its not their vote, i hate to brake it to everyone not in florida, you see in florida the rebulicans changed the date becuase they controlled the state congress and the dems did not have enough vote to do anything about it, so you punish the people who couldnt do anything about it, you punish the democratic leaders in florida becuase they couldnt do anything about it, that makes sence, so come november we will punish the DNC because they are responsible for my vote

Clinton is trying to bend the rules to her favor, but it's not going to work.

She is NOT more electable–the primaries have already show that–GET REAL!

I can't take Clinton lies anymore, just end it!

No offense, it's not Hillary or Obama's fault FL and MI broke the rules. It is unfair to them that they don't get the delegates they deserve though and that is why I'm for a re-vote or allocate the delegates.

Another thing is, I'm not sure why Obama supporters are so against it. It's not like Obama won't get delegates out of this, he would be even closer to the 2025. Overall though, I believe it's fair that the voters have their votes counted because it's part of the U.S and they deserve to be counted despite their officials breaking the rules.

Blame your State not the dem canidates for the situation in Mich & Fla.
quit crying your votes will count in Nov. Your states vilated the rules they agreed to abide by.

ONE OTHER THING…

Everyone in Michigan and Florida need to CHILL. You will be seated BUT you will NOT determine who wins… I live in Michigan and I FIRMLY believe since our states broke the rules we do not deserve to make the final desicion.
People in Michigan and Florida need to understand that IF Howard Dean were to buckle there is NOTHING to prevent states from doing anything the feel like doing the next Primary season 4 years from now.

That is why Howard Dean and the DNC MUST stand firm and while seating the delegates they can't effect the final results. They aren't punishing Florida and Michigan they are perserving what little bit of order they have in the Democratic Party.

It is time for Hiliary to stop starking the campaign. She may need counseling to help her let go.

The DNC can't GIVE her the nomination! HRC, your desperation is showing.

Our Next President is Hillary R. Clinton !

Please seat Florida and Michigan delegates.

Go Hillary !

This race is over. Hillary needs to find a way to gracefully exit to retain her legacy. If she doesn't and decides to proceed to the "nuclear option" of fighting to the convention, she will forever have the albatross of sabatoging the Democratic Party hanging around her neck. How narcissistic……………..

I find it amusing that Clinton wants "all votes to count and all the voices to be heard" but wants the Superdelegates to cancel all those voices and votes out and select her!

Does noone see the irony in this???

a few bad eggs are trying to ruin it fro the rest of us.

i really do like alot of the democrats that are standing by hillary's side and i understand that there are some well educated voters who will vote for her, but there are some who are only casting a vote for her because they cannot have a black man for president, or don't understand the complexity past the talking points, or supporting the chaos theory.

I think the country is heading in a new and better direction and the world waits in anticipation to see a steady momentum towards the person who can bring us there.

Obama is my first choice.

McCain was my second, but i don't think he can do enough to push the country forward anymore, so Hillary would have been my second choice.

I can't believe this woman — she is so evil, selfish, canniving, and duplicitous. She is arrogant, and at bottom a condescending racist.
There is a reason she appeals to the uneducated — they are too stupid to figure out who she really is and what she is doing.

Somebody please get this nauseating woman off the stage and give Obama a chance to unite the party and the country.

Just got to say after reading the Rush Limbaugh posts from the Obama people. This guy fits right in with your crowd. Hillary Clinton is decent and you are not.

And by the way, the smug belief that the defecting democrats will come home to Barack Obama before the GE is a complete farce. Like whistling in the dark through the grave yard of Obama's candidacy.

Democrats are not loyal but you can bet your bippy that Republicans are. Your new crossovers will leave you in the lurch in November along with the kids and the independents.

Hillary or McCain in 08

she should just give it up!! It takes a "real" woman to admit defeat.

Wonder what the new spin will be for her reasoning? She is a mess, dividing and destroying our party. I find it frustrating when people say that Obama cannot win. I happen to be a middle aged, white, educated female and I am very happy to say I back Obama 100%. His is a campaign of integrity and not mud slinging and divisiveness. I could not in good conscience vote for HIllary. Although, the Democratic party needs to win, I would let go of my frustrations if HIllary were somehow to influence the superdelegates to disregard the popular/electorate vote and vote her in. We need our country to get back on track and there is no way that McCain will take us there. I believe he is a good man and personally I like him better than Hillary, but there is too much that we need for the common person to vote Republican this fall. So, no matter what I will vote Democratic.

Hillary supporters need to take a look inside and decide what is most important for our country. Falling for their pride and not voting for Obama just because he beat Hillary, or deciding that what their true beliefs are are what our country needs at this critical time in our history. Take some time to think before reacting to disappointment. I know I have after Pennsylvania.

Please vote for Hillary !

We need you !!!

Hillary '08

Go Hillary !

"She refused to say if she won any commitments from any undecided superdelegates."

Means she didn't otherwise ew would have heard about it. The superdelegates have already decided, just haven't made it public.

i'm from florida and will not vote in the fall if my vote deosnt count now, and i know of alot of people who say the same thing, but i know some say they will vote for McCain, if you dont count us now, dont count us come this fall

Homi —- Your numbers are nuts. Just because you win in a primary does not mean you will win the state in the general election . NOT AT ALL . So that argument is totally bogus much like the rest of Clinton arguments. The general election you just start all over .

I just finished watching the CNN live video of Hillary Clinton speaking at her fundraiser. I saw a man jump on a table with a sign saying, "Obliterate Iran? Apologize." Authorities had him taken away. It's been a hard day for Hillary. If I were her I would wake up and smell the coffee and bow out gracefully.

You Obama supporters are such whiners! Clinton is by far the best candidate! I don't know how you can objectively think that he has run a positive campaign. Enough of your derogatory comments about the Clintons.

Cat, you need to stop global warming. Turn the gas off and walk to the polling booth in November for Barack! Else, don't waste my time with your inane comments.

At this point-shes simply destroying the party of Jefferson and Kennedy-
Greed -something neither of these 2 men knew-

They loved their country before themselves

Please seat Florida and Michigan delegates NOW !!!

Go Hillary !

Since all the HRC supporters are hellbent on allowing the party elders to merely "annoint" a winner based upon their personal "guess" as to who is "more electable", why not just get rid of the whole primary process in totality forever and merely delegate that role to the party elders?

Hillary can't win with respect, she can only win if she convinces the DNC to ignore their rules and make FL/MI count. Her campaign has no money and that should tell us something about her econmics, ie also her gas tax plan. The Repubs hate her and if she's the candidate, they'll vote in huge numbers. She & Bill will try anything to get power, but it's Obama and she should consider what's best for the party and go home.

Sentor Clinton will keep fighting because she knows if Obama is the nominee he will lose. He is a lying hypocrite who isn't qualified to be president. Nobama not now not ever.

hillary ,please step aside for the good of the country,i believe obama will be far better for america in the sense that young people will be energize to play there part by joining the military

The fat lady has done an encore and gone to bed! Time to get behind Obama if there's to be any chance of a Democrat in the Oval Office.

Not even back room deals can save her.

I don't blame Hillary – I blame the American people for buying into her string of lies, spin, and pandering. How about finding someone who actually believes what they are saying?

"The great thing about Democracy is that people tend to get what they deserve" — paraphrased George Bernard Shaw

I'm sorry as childish as it may sounds Hillary is a sore loser! She is behind in everything except for superdelegates and that lead is only by 10, she would rather destroy the party for her own political gain.

And again, I don't understand either why she and her supporters blame Obama for FL and MI, I SAY IT AGAIN AND PLEASE HEAR ME!!!

THEY BROKE THE RULES, THE GAME IS BEING PLAYED FAIR!!!

Fight till the end. Go Hillary!

Stay in this as long as possible Hillary! Bloody Barack so much that he loses in November so you can run in 2012!

Remember, this isn't about the nation or "we the people," it's about you!

Never give up!

HILLARY 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She needs to get over and it and move on. We won't win in November with this party becoming more and more divided thanks to her refusal to quit, despite the fact that she cannot win pledged delegates, states won, or popular vote. MI and FL broke the rules, move on, and come back in November. Blame it on your governor not a nominee.

To HOmi: Votes in the Primary election do not count as electoral votes. If I am misinformed about this, will someone please set me straight.

Indeed, where is the evidence that Hillary can beat the Republican candidate? Polls are not hugely accurate predictors prior to the nomination of a candidate. There is some evidence that the Republican Party is rife with anti-Clinton members and will give $$$$ to prevent her from being elected.

I am not aware of the GOP reflecting that kind of animosity toward Barrack Obama.

Please, please, pick me, pick me! I'm the best, I really am! I'm the best and the smartest and people really love me! Please, please, pick me! (for two hours).

Snore…

Are you people in middle school or what? The Obama supporters are full of hatred and childish comments. To think our soldiers are fighting so you can talk trash like and uneducated child. Hillary is not dividing your party-you are! She has a right to tell you where she stands, as does Obama. The race continues because the democrats are CLEARLY divided over who they want as a nominee. Hillary is a fighter-she will fight for what she wants. There is NOTHING wrong with that. She hasn't lost until the race is over-after EVERYONE has had a voice. Voters should not settle-neither should she. Keep going Hillary!

can you imagine the lies she told at that meeting?

8 Bells…

The DNC has lost the General already, and they have lost thier finest
Candidate in Hillary Clinton. The DNC must let her go before
she gets into more debt, before she unretrievably hurts herself, as She will never quit, there is too much Heart in that women.

We as a Nation have lost, a Statesperson personified and a real opportunity to truely put our House in Order. Barack Obama is
the Embodiment of the DNC and the Democratic Party and all it stands for and more than "deserves" the nomination.

-Donovan

I am in Florida , the rules were broke…….plain and simple.

We do not get seated.

Just remember in 1992, Bill Clinton had to fight all the way to month of June to get the nomination, the DNC try so hard to push him out, he was not liberal enough for them.

Today the DNC is doing the same thing, trying to push out Hillary because she's not liberal enough for them.

If the Democratic Party believes in democracy, every vote counts, how come they're acting like a bunch of Nazis?

Is this the NAZIFICATION of the Democratic Party? If so, it is time for REAL DEMOCRATS to abandon their party.

To all, let look at the map which OBAMA wins. Without the overwhelming support from his black buddies, can he secure the victory last night? No one can get 91%-6% win without considering something else? Please do not blindly give the US to s.o without experience. HOPE and DREAM cannot give you foods and security. WAKE UP AMERICANS

I think if Hillary cannot use Michigan and Florida's delegate count, then I think that amount should be subtracted from Obama's total delegate count. That would put them on level playing ground.

As she continues her desparate attempt at power, Hillary Clinton's efforts only serve to further divide and splinter the Democratic party.

Analysts have concluded that it's over, Hillary. Over.

And yet, she presses on… further dividing the wedge — out of vanity, ego, self-glory… who knows?

This is most tragic thing about this is that Clinton's scorched-Earth policy will only serve to hand John McCain the Presidency, a third Bush term.

Is that REALLY what you want, Hillary?

Yeah, disillusioned HRC supporters – vote for McC – that's just what Rush and the right wingers want you to do. It's NOT what HRC wants you to do, and if you are a D or like the D message and priorities, you won't like the results.
But hey, that will teach Obama to not count Fla and Mich — Oh wait. He did not make that decision; DNC did, well before the "vote," and all candidates agreed. Do you idiots really think he got ZERO votes in MI? He wasn't even on the ballot, did not campaign, and she barely got 50% of the vote – If you are pissed, take it up with the local party, who moved the primary date despite knowing what the DNC would do in response. Don't shoot yourelf in the face by voting for McBush.

I live in Michigan and I do not the rules changed in order to advantage any candidate.

Obama supporters, stop and take a deep breath. It is time for you all to back off and stop the negative bantering. Hillary will decide to bow out gracefully, at her own time. So stop being nasty, just to be nasty. It is time to begin unifying our party and we can't do it if we continue to throw nasty comments back and forth.

Both Hillary and Obama supporters have to understand if they do not vote for a Democrat, we will have 4 more years of G. W. Bush and we will have a conservative Supreme Court. Need to either hold your nose and vote for the Democratic nominee and learn to like that person. Afterall, they are very close in political philosophies.

There is a difference between making a case and making a case that falls on deaf ears. Does HRC really believe herself when she talks?

Emeka, Florida

I agree that something needs to be done about Florida…the Republicans in that state are really the responsible party for Florida moving up its date…what right have they to dictate the Democrat's schedule???

However, Senator Clinton is mad if she believes it would be fair to have the Michigan results stand. Senator Obama was not even on the ballot. Equity states that a new vote would be required.

My suggestion is this: A quickie primary in Florida, which would satisfy Clinton; and a quickie caucus in Michigan, which I believe Obama would endorse. Allow neither candidate to spend more than one week and $5 million. Draw definite lines. Short of this kind of negotiation, the DNC will butt its collective head against a wall…which will let one side blame the other.

HILLARY is the clear choice for the Democratic Pary, It is now May and I still do not know what Obama is going to do for the country. I know what he is not going to do Unite the Party!!!! Super delegates do what you must do, that is why you were put in place. Obama is a weaker candidate and we will be looking at Mccain in November as the next President.

Florida and Michigan were stolen from Hillary. Why did Howard Dean move up South Carolina and Nevada in the first place. He wanted to give Obama the edge with the Minority voters because they knew he was going to run against her. Please do not think that Hillary supporter will vote for Obama if he is the nominee. The DNC must be fair to her and why is Howard Dean stacking the credentials committee with his people.

I don't understand why everyone thinks Obama will loose in November. Have you looked at JMcCain and I don't mean physical. McCain isn't really who the Reps wanted but was left with no choice. I think my grandma could beat McCain in November. Bush has hurt this puppy.

If the SD decide for Clinton, with Obama only 160+ from making the 2025, they better have a better reason than beating McCain, because if you look at the pop vote he is ahead any way you want to spin it. It will look racist plan and simple and I am a white, female, 53 years of age; that's the way I am seeing it.

Hillary has a very important role in uniting the party. Do the right thing Hillary, you have lost fair and square.

"Seat Florida"…are you nuts? How about option #7 Florida and Michigan learn to read and follow the rules that everyone else has to follow. Don't like the rules? Work within the process to change them. Don't just ignore them and then be shocked and outraged when you are punished.

Seat Michigan as though Obama wasn't even a candidate? You can't be serious. This is the dumbest argument yet. No reasonable person would suggest it. Are you on Hillary's payroll? Hope not because looking at her finances it might be a while until you see that next paycheck.

"Tim" great comment except the part where you explain anything.

Everyone keeps saying she should drop out.

I guess WEST VIRGINIA, KENTUCKY, OREGON, MONTANA, and SOUTH DAKOTA don't have any more right to be counted than do FLORIDA and MICHIGAN?

Homi, you should wake up. Hillary has been trailing since day one, so she cannot possibly be ready on day one, since she can't even catch up.

There is a difference between making a case and making a case that falls on deaf ears. Does HRC really believe herself when she talks?

The only reason for Senator Clinton to remain in the race is simply the self seeking interest of her advisors. After all where will they get the flee flowing dollars they are using to enrich themselves from once their campaign is over? Your guess is as good as mine.

Obama supporters,
You need Clinton's supporters, stop alienating them.
You need to ask the DNC chair why they would encourage Obama to run the same year as Hillary, it divided the party.
You need to ask Obama why he did not campaign in poor black communites, why only in white rural communities, it is very intentional and race biased.
You need to understand that the DNC screwed the party by doing this mess, Hillary waiting her turn, after Gore, after Kerry. The party screwed her to help Obama, and it is very likely that her supporters will back McCain.

Nothing that is going on has anything to do with scandal, churches, ex presidents, pastors. This problem is on the DNC.

Hating Hillary will not fix Washington, unfortunately, voting for Barack may not either, because DC has two party political system and conservative judges.

All should be upset with the party leaders and should act (write to THEM

I have been a democrat for more than 20 years. I'm a supporter of Barack Obama. Senator Clinton has lost this nomination process on every single level. If the "super delegates" takes this nomination from Obama in order to give to Hillary Clinton, I will walk on the democrats in November. Clinton has sought to change the rules at every single level and the facts remain the same— she is losing! Voters are speaking over and over, they do not want Hillary Clinton. Her self-centered persona will not allow her to become gracious and concede her lost to an African American. Wake up people! It's time for a change! Some Obama supporters will not allow this nomination to be taken from him unfairly. We will walk! Yes, WE WILL!!!!

Obama had NOTHING to do with FL and MI votes not counting. FL & MI had fair warning not to hold their primaries early and look what happens? You get your paddies slapped for breaking the rules. Splittm' in half and call it a day. Ya can't do a revote, Clinton has won't have any money left.

Im beginning to think supers want the democrates to lose! If they choose Obama that's exactly what will happen,

If the democrats want to win in november they need to unite both
forces Obama's And Hillary's …………………………………
Both on one ticket is the only answer now……………….
Who ever has the most votes as president and the other as vice president. Don't look to balance the ticket….. both are a first
a woman as vice president and a Black president too.

Making a case to 'superdelegate' sounds like talking to "American Politburo"; the purpose of superdelegates should be limited to make up the difference in the end of the primaries if a candidate is short of delegates to get the nomination; like right now. Both candidates would require 'superdelegate' to vote to get the nomination. But under no circumstance 'superdelegates' should over rule the will of the party pleged delegates. I am not saying because I support 'Obama', but it is a commne sense.

Come on for GOD sake wake up and do not be so naive. America is the second biggest democracy of the world, act like one.

Hillary Clinton: The Bush-Clinton 6th term

Hillary need so give it up with Michigan and Florida. Even every school child knows that if you cannot play by the rules, you cannot play the game. She should not even be claiming such a big victory in Michigan. When you think about it, she won 55% of the vote. Sure, that is a victory. But think about it, she only holds a 15% point lead over the second place finisher – Uncommitted

Everyone who thinks that MI & FL were fair elections and therefore the delegates should be seated based on that fair vote, and who believe Hillary every time she moves the goal post and cames up with new math for this election must love the elections in Russia & Pakistan. I used to support Hillary and never understood why so many people hated her. But every time she says this stuff with a straight face and pretends to be dumb, I see her nose grow a bit more. I'm sorry to say this but I can't believe her or trust her anymore.

Who was that funny person who posted Hillary's going to make a
lot of money by writing a book about her campaign? LOL!!!

Sure, there'll be lots of books written about this campaign, and
some people will make a lot of money by doing so. But it will NOT
be Hillary Clinton. The last thing we need is another ghost-written
It Takes A Village, or another self-serving narcisisstic bio.

The books will be written by people like Dick Morris, Carl Bernstein,
Michael Beshloss, etc., etc. REAL writers, who will tell the REAL
story about one of the most disasterous campaigns in history.

And I'll be waiting to buy and read 'em!

HILLARY DECIDED TO BREAK THE RULES AND CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN, WHEN SHE KNEW BOTH STATES DID NOT COUNT AND NOW SHE EXPECT DNC TO CHANGE THE RULES TO HELP HER WIN. HILLARY IS SELFISH AND INCONSIDERATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,IT'S ALL ABOUT HILLARY. HILLARY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT DNC, AMERICAN PEOPLE OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IF SHE DID SHE WOULD LEAVE NOW ,WE CAN MOVE AHEAD AS A PEOPLE AND PREPARE TO FIGHT JOHN MCCAIN. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAS GIVING THE CLINTONS TO MUCH POWER, BY SAYING OH THEY ARE FIGHTERS, NOW WE GOT TO FIGHT HILLARY TO MAKE HER LEAVE. SHE IS SELFISH AND CARE ONLY ABOUT HERSELF.

SUPERDELEGATES PUT AN END TO THIS MADNESS.

There are only two reasons to stay in the race….

1) PRIDE and EGO..

2) Technically Barack still doesn't have the final number required.

BUT..the reality is SHE CANNOT WIN without a MIRACLE (like picking the Lottery)

There is ONLY ONE thing that can stop Hillary is she has to lose West Virginia and Kentucky!! If these voters decide that this has gone on long enough and vote for Obama!!!

WEST VIRGINIA and KENTUCKY do the Democratic Party a favor and select OBAMA even by 5% that will be enough. It's time to move on…

democratic party is the party of inclusion?it seems like it only good for one set of people,now that some people see it clearly that someone different rather than the usual is the nominee,they just cant stand it,it makes me sick,they only care for the short term goal

"Hillary is evidently hoping to earn a lot of money by writing a book about her campaign, and that's why she doesn't want to bring it to a close yet."

I can't wait to read "Hillary Clinton: How to Not Win the Nomination, and Destory Your Party in 24 Easy Steps"

She is not destroying the party, I want her to continue!! Hillary Clinton is the person for me and the strength of this country. I am so ashamed to call my self a democrat after the disloyalty this party has shown her. If Obama wins the nomination I will be voting for McCain and will change my party preference to independent. I can not vote or support a man who claims he has the experience and love to run this country when he can’t even manage to speak about or state what he really stands for. Nothing but complete and utter ignorance on his part and I for one do not trust him nor believe in him, despite what others are saying not all educated voters are voting for him. I am a proud and educated Latina who is choosing NOT to vote or support him.

COUNT OUR F FLORIDA VOTES !

HILLARY ==YOU JUST HANG IN THERE GIR !

PRETTY SOON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL KNOW THE REAL –

D O W N L O W " B A C R A C K " ??????????

Please don't bash Hillary, she's fought a hard race and all democrats need her support. She will bow out gracefully when the superdelegates once the superdelegates do their job.

Obama is the POLARIZER!!!! Stay Hillary!!!! Working Americans wanted you to stand up for them, not elitist Obama and his ultra liberal supporters and students who doesn't know what real life is all about.

HILLARY AND BILL ARE TOO STUBBORN AND TOO MUCH OF ELITISTS TO EVER THINK IT A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY COULD LOSE.IT IS NOT IN THEIR NATURE SHE WOULD SELL HER SOUL AND THAT OF HER FAMILY TO WIN.LEARN HOW TO STAY HOME RAISE A GARDEN GO ON VACATION WITH BILL TAKE LIFE EASY YOU'RE LIKE ME 60 YEARS OLD CHILL OUT AND WAIT FOR CHELSEA TO MARRY AND MAKE YOU A GRANDMOTHER .

I am a resident of FLORIDA. Our vote was not heard when President Bush was voted in & again FLORIDA VOTE DOES NOT COUNT. This is one democrate that will not waste my GAS to vote in FLORIDA

Obama has won. He is and will be the best thing to happen to the US. She cannot catch him without doing something very slimy which will give the election to McCain.

Stick a fork in her, she's done.

i hope she has gone to tellv them that she not ready to lead on day one. hill pls go home and dinner w/ that idiotic and big loser rush lumburg

The NY Times which tends to be pro Hillary did an acurate numbers count today. Even if the Hillary minions completly manipulate the DNC, and all of the illegal Florida and Michigan votes are criminally handed to Hillary on a silver platter. Hillary would STILL LOSE both the popular vote and the delegate count! It truly makes you think that Hillary is working towards a McBush victory so that she can rebound and run in 2012.

Sorry Hillary, there i sno more case for you … this is the end of the rope. But, if you want to fight on … let's get it on … defeats in further states are waiting for you…. Time to let the ego and hard feelings go and look WHAT OUR COUNTRY NEEDS.

Gee Tim, can I borrow your crystal ball. There are some stocks I'd like to buy. How do you know who will or won't win. Several months ago, prior to Iowa, Hillary was supposed to win it all, the TRADITIONAL way. (ie, win more delegates).

Mrs. Clinton, put down the kitchen sink,….that's right…put it down,…..slowly,………slowly,………….atta girl,……….it's over……..it's all over.

I am sick of Hillary. Two hours swindling the votes for superdelegates
her way. This is getting ridiculous. Pleeeeze Clintons go away!!!!

Tim,

Who's going to win the superbowl this year? I've been looking for a good psychic for a while now, you must be him.

I can do it too, watch:

Mr. Obama will win the election for the Dems.
Mrs. Clinton will lose the election for the Dems.

Clean and simple. Super delegates need to decide what end
result they want.

I voted in FL and I want my vote to count.

The DNC rules for proportionally dividing delegates is what has caused this mess.

She AGREED the FL and MI votes would NOT count ( WHEN SHE WAS WINNING) …….. Force her to obey the rules……….The other 48 states obeyed the rules….. Don't allow this SICK women to destroy the Democratic Party !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Seat Florida and Michigan", it is clear you support Clinton. Your flawed ideas are the same as hers. I'm sure you would be crying foul if they seated MI if Obama was on the ballot at Clinton wasn't.

Clinton supporters are now getting on my nerve. They, like Clinton, are having a hard time admitting defeat.

why does Hillary Clinton trying to destroy our party?

She is like a bad case of herpes, always popping up, Obama will be in the white house 3 years she will still be making her case to the DNC.

Tim – are you on Hillary's staff? I'm just wondering, because you seem pretty well-versed in negative, fear-pandering statements that have no basis in fact.

I dont think she is a fighter at all. I think she is selfish and has made up in her mind that if she cant have the nomination, then noone can!

I also think that this is her way of trying to force Barack Obama to take her as his running mate after she knows she has ailienated him and the campaign with all or her negative and unfair attacks.

She attacked Obama with everything trying to damage him and the future of his campaign to boost the argument of her electability. SHe was wrong and now she is going to pay.

Barack Obama 2008
President of the UNited States of America

Tim, you don't know anything do you?

Hillary has won all of the big states (electorally-speaking), except Obama's home state of Illinois. Counting electoral votes on the states both have won thus far, Clinton would have 295 electoral votes, to Obama's 213 electoral votes. Remaining primaries would add only 26 more votes. 270 electoral votes are needed to win the general election. It's doubtful that red states like Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and the Dakotas will vote for a liberal in the next election, so what do primary wins mean for the Dems there anyway? The nomination is not decided by popular vote, nor is the general election. The party needs a reality check instead of a "feel good" moment, and the Super delegates need to do what they are intended to do….vote for the candidate that will win the general election. It's not the front-runner.

Apparently… Obama is gaining more superdelegates and is catching up.

I am so tired of Senator Clinton telling lies and dividing the party. Bill and Hillary are cheaters, liers and very sneaky. They are hiding Senator Clintons Thesis papers, The Library Papers, The illegal contributions to their Library, Watergate, Travelgate and Bosnia. She is the elitist; anyone that can loan themselves $11.4 Billion dollars is for sure in the company of the elite!

O.K guys, think about this. Who's party is this, the Dems, right? Who said if the Dems system is like the Reps, Hillary would be the nominee??? Ohh yeah, I know who. Who said that West Virginia is important because is a swing-state??? As a matter of fact, I think West Virginia has voted decisively in the last 4 President elections with the Reps taking two and the Dems taking two in that time frame and by the way, isn't this the Democratic party??? I mean, isn't it this party that will compete in the "playoffs" and isn't it the same people who are running this race the same people who are going to help each other???? Hmmm, who knew the Dems system is like the Reps, LOL!!!

Well – if she didn't say anything to reporters – that mean that they only heard her cry!

It's time for Bill Clinton to talk with his wife and get her off the stage!

Go Obama! I guess if Hillary wasn't so nasty to Obama he might consider her on his ticket!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ahaaaa! I can't forget how all the major news-media/commentors looked last night regarding North Carolina and Indiana!

The look on their faces showed how sick they felt! They were bented on keeping Rev. Wright and painted-over polls to work for Hillary and their crap didn't work!

By not doing a ABC Debate – Obama really went to work in those states!

seriously…she needs to drop out a.s.a.p, she is polarizing the party!!!

Mr. Obama will lose the election for the Dems.
Mrs. Clinton will win the election for the Dems.

Clean and simple. Super delegates need to decide what end
result they want.

I was a Hillary supporter until this morning.

I fully agree it's time for her to gracefully drop out of the race, and put her full support behind Barack Obama. We need a Democrat in the White House, and he is our candidate.

Hillary ran a well-fought race – and her energy, intelligence and expertise can only help Obmama's campaign.

Obama for President in '08!

Option 6: Seat FL & MI based on the elections that have taken place.
(Obama does not get MI 55 uncommitted).

This lady will do anything to win. She is putting her self first before her Party.

Most of these superdelegates have already made up their mind. They are undeclared rather than undecided; and they're clearly leaning towards Obama. They're gonna start making their position public before next Tuesday to cut down any claim of surge after an eventual meaningless win in WV.

Hillary no longer has any chance whatever of winning the nomination – and she knows it.

Hillary is evidently hoping to earn a lot of money by writing a book about her campaign, and that's why she doesn't want to bring it to a close yet.

Please superdelegates, please stop this. This is getting to be very tiresome.

2 Hours? Meeting should have lasted two minutes after last night. Super Delegates should have handed her her pink slip and moved on already.

SEAT MY DELEGATES. I VOTED IN FLORIDA AND I WANT MY VOTE COUNTED. I WILL NOT SUPPORT OBAMA.

I cannot with a clear conscious vote for either McCain or Obama in November. For the first time in my life, I will be writing in my vote on the GE ballot.

Ready day one..That's funny.

I thought that the nomination is to be decided through the ballots.
It's almost like the deliberations of the traditional tribe councils in Afghanistan!!!

Why do ignorant people still blame Obama for the FL and MI votes? He did not push their dates up. He only agreed to follow the DNC's rules. Once they became talk about a revote, his stance was that he would abide by the decision of the DNC. He DID NOT BLOCK the vote or attempt to disenfranchise voters. The Clinton surrogates have been successful in painting the picture of Obama as the bad guy in these two states. Why are you allowing yourselves to be fooled?
