Reading people won't vote for Obama. After eight years of Bush could we really afford four years of McCain(same as Bush). Could people really be that small minded and not vote For Obama base on his skin color? People please open your eyes do not vote for McCain this country could not take four more years of Bush. I will be voting for our next President of these United States of America BARACK OBAMA

Hillary has lost respect from many people who see her as desperately clinging to this campaign. I understand that she should continue until the last primary in June but she should not be negative any longer. So far, I haven't seen any negativity coming from her and I believe that is a sign that she is considering dropping out soon. When she does this, she will put her full support behind Obama and his campaign and I hope her supporters understand that this is mostly politics and our country will be much better with either Obama or Hillary (not Mcain).

Another great example of Clinton double-standard.
Before the primary seasons, when FL and MI were warned repeatedly about the consequences of pushing their state primaries earlier, HELLary full heartedly supported the DNC decisions. Then, after the Super Tuesday that severely hurt HELLary's compaign, she started arguing that FL and MI votes should be allowed.
I want to ask the citizens of this great nation if they want a candidate that can't keep her promise, a candidate that desperately tries to divide the country because she's trying to revenge her losses, a candidate that wants to play the gender card just for her meaningless lusts, a candidate that would put her own interests ahead of the nation's values and interest? If those are the qualities you are looking for in a president then HELLAry is your candidate...a symbole of stupidity and sickness....

I love women as obviously I was given birth by the best there is, but it is sad that the abundant majority of the posters that support Clinton's refusal to concede are women. It is a bit too obvious that people are ignoring the issues and on one side voting because of race and on the other side because of gender. This is your government people. This is your future and your children's future. How can you be so shallow?

I will not vote for Barack Obama . He is not the right person to have at this time and the Democrats better wake up. I will change over to the Republican Party for the General Election. My family will also. Hillary keep on fighting , you still have alot of supporters who don't want you to drop out. If you do thanks for the strong fight you gave us. Hopefully you will run again in 2012 against John McCain . He should be done running the country by then. We will really need you then more then ever. Good luck on what ever road you decide to take. Tell Bill & Chelsea hello from this family in IL.

I dont know if the polls are accurate, but some or many of Hillary's voters recently said that they would vote for McCain if Obama is the democratic nominee.
That confirms John Kerry's statement to be true.. these Hillary voters are actually Rush Limpbaugh's (Fat Chow on Drugs) followers. So we take out these operation chaos fake voters , basically Hillary must have got about 25% of the real popular vote or less in both states.
No matter what the polls say or want to show, if Hillary becomes the nominee...most (atleast 75%) of Obama supporters will not vote for her or McCain....even if Obama himself comes out and supports Hillary.
Hillary will be a good candidate for Republican Vice President.. since most of her voters are from Operation Chaos led by Mr. Rush Limp. I cant believe this fat junkie (wanna be god) is hosting a radio show.

Until a candidate reaches the magic number of 2025, the nomination remains open for the candidates to pursue the remaining primaries. Let the other states have a say in the polls as to who the nominee will be. Why do political analysts get in the way?. Let both Barack and Hillary persuade the remaining voters. I personally like the exposure of both the candidates in the media under these stressful times. Go Hillary. Your tenacity will win in the end.

I am so proud of you Hillary for running your campaign on your own and using your own rhetoric. We need more senators like you and not like the puppet masters who call themselves Kerry, Dean and Kennedy. It is funny how these people could not get elected to the Presidency. Now they are using Obama as a puppet. He cannot lead on his own. He will be like Bush. You were a strong contender! I appreciate that. Unfortunately, no matter what Obama says or does to romance/shmooze Clinton supporters , I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. OBAMA has left a bad taste in my mouth just like Bush did. MCCain is the American Way compared to Obama. So I will vote American this time around. MCCAIN '08

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!

Don't quit girl. Nobody ever likes a strong woman and it's blatantly obvious by now that Barack has only won so many states because blacks have voted for him. Have they looked at the issues or just skin color?

He doesn't have the female or blue collar votes needed to win and believe me, if African Americans think they're the only ones that can withhold their votes in November, think again. Two can play at that game just fine.

IN voter–
How do you say,'One of the things that I've really appreciated about Barack Obama's campaign has been his refusal to play the "race card" in his effort to gain supporters.'

How come 91% black votes for Obama ?

Look at the actual number of votes:

In NC Obama gets around 549,000 black votes and his total vote is around 870,000. More than 63% of the total vote is from AFRICAN AMERICAN. However, only 30% (not 63%) of population is Black in NC.

Who is voting for him? You must be dumbed by his SPEECH like many others.

When the Republicans are voting for Obama then you know that Hillary is the right person. I feel Hillary would smoke Mc Cain in this election. Would all Demacrats think of it that way. I am a white collar worker and Obama does not have any interest in helping me. Just because someone seems cool doesn't mean he know how to run the country. Hillary has been there and if I can remember right we were in our best financial position as a country until He took over and wanted to be "king of war". Time for a change woman or not she is the best person for the job.

Let's be fair – Please present the news that helps us to decide what person is best prepared for the job of President. I think the news needs to scrutinize and tell us about Michelle Obama as I feel she is somewhat arrogant and I do not feel that she would make a good first lady as she appears to be very polarizing. The news media seems to be more favorable toward Obama – come on, lets be fair to the voters – we want this to play out till the last state has a chance to voice the choice for this important leader position.

The media constantly rewrite their 'bar' for Clinton. The media and Obama's supporters were bullying her before Pennsylvania to drop out. How they said, not only she had to win, but to win big. Then even when she won by 9-10 points, they would focus on the fact that she started out at 20points. Why not applying the same bar to Obama? Why not beating him to death the same way they did with Clinton about how he was supposed to win Indiana but lost. What would be the headline if Obama won Pennsylvania by 2%? Media and pundits have lost not only their credibility but their ethics as well.

The deep anger from Clinton's voters only get deeper with this kind of unfair treatment that they see from the party leaders and the media.

If Obama is the nominee I get to save 65,000 $. The DNC, the DCCC will not get a dime of my money this time around.. I will not pick up pen in hand for the left wing of the Democratic party. Obama supporters have been making personal attacks on Clinton from the inception of this campaign as well as some very sexist comments. I like the idea of writing Hillary's name in if Obama wins the nomination. Maybe the DNC will wake up and pay attention to the moderates in the party. It would be a great way to protest the level of sexism and have our voices heard. As for the 65K I am saving I think women should pool some of our resources and fight back, its about time.

Here's the dirty little secret the democrats don't want to discuss.
If Obama becomes the nominee – blue collar dems will vote McCain.
If Hillary becomes the nominee African Americans will be upset, but will
come out and vote for Hillary in November. Bottom line – the super delegates know this and that's the only reason they have not all come out
in favor of Obama. The powers that be WANT Hillary to find a way to become the nominee or kiss the White House goodbye.

Senator Clinton is a strong person, she is not a quitter like most male politicians. I admire her fortitude. He can not win until he has 2025 delegate. The last tome I checked he was 189 short. So if you want her out, the light hearted superdelegate politicians will have to finally take a stand on something.

That is what is wrong with our country. The people Barack says need to change are the Washington insiders, but he has to pander to them to get his nomination to run, so do you really believe that his change policy is real?

Those people do not have to change because he needs them to survive now and in the future. this pandering is much wose than the gas tax. This is the fairy tale that Bill spoke of. i am a black man so i think I can say it without being accused of playing the race card!

Sharon in Minnesota, And all other Hillary supporters who are on this "count Florida and Michigan" kick. For some reason, you just don't get it. Or maybe, you just don't WANT to get it! You, like Hillary, pretend to be SO concerned about "disenfranchising" voters. Well, if Hillary was ahead, she would care less about them -- and if you know ANYTHING about your candidate at this point, you know that's true. But everything else aside, both you AND Hillary have CHOSEN (not failed) to disregard the most important point: Hillary AGREED, as did EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT IN THE RACE, that Florida and Michigan would NOT count before the campaigning even BEGAN! I teach third grade and I can tell you that's the kind of thing THEY do -- try to change the rules as they go along to suit them -- not a grown woman running for the highest office in the country! Have a little DIGNITY for goodness sakes! The words "losing graciously" are certainly not a part of Hillary's vocabulary. If she wants to stick it out until the end of the primaries in a few more weeks, by all means DO THAT -- that isn't against the rules she agreed to. Trying to count delegates she AGREED not to count does go against what she agreed! Is that her way of saying that her word means NOTHING unless it benefits her? She didn't think she would need either of those states so they were non-issues for her before. Besides all of that, there is no fair formula for awarding those delegates at this point. Why? Because I have read COUNTLESS comments on blogs from citizens of those two states who are COMPLAINING about the possibility of counting their votes! Why? Because they were told they were NOT GOING TO COUNT! So aside from the obvious issues of not campaigning in Florida and names not being on the ballot in Michigan, COUNTLESS voters believed their governments and the DNC when they were told their votes would not count, so why waste your time voting? So you tell me, who is REALLY being disenfranchised here in counting the votes?!? Those who voted ANYWAY and now whose votes might count, or those who played by the rules and didn't participate?? The other thing is you have NO idea which of the two groups is larger!! That said, if I was Barack Obama, there's NO WAY I would let you attempt to allocate delegates (except 50-50), based on unreliable, skewed data. Wouldn't happen!

The best thing about the race within the Democratic Party is it should not be about race or gender, we are willing, as a party to accept either one. We should, as a Party, rise above the Republicans and embrace that. We are the one's that are more highly evolved than the republicans.

There are so many misstatements by Clinton supporters in this post I have no idea where to start.

"African Americans seem to outnumber in the democratic party" No, actually they make up less than a quarter of the Democratic electorate. Just 14% in 2004.

"Anybody but her. If she gives up, we give it to McCain." A George Bush third term, huh? Real rational thought process.

Disturbing. Now I understand why the Founders were apprehensive of letting the American people actually decide elections.

If you value your own reproductive rights, then you'd simply better get off the divisive train and accept that you absolutely MUST vote Democratic come November...heck, even if we ran a potato!

Because John McCain has sworn to overturn Roe V Wade...and the next President will control the balance of power on the supreme court. Enough of the race and gender baiting...EITHER candidate is a leap foward when compared to John McBush.

To all you on this thread complaining about Obama fans and their hateful remarks? Maybe you need to take a second or third look at some of your comments? The math isn't there. It's as simple as that. Senator Obama is winning fair and square, and no amount of threats or promises that you won't support Obama in the fall is going to change that. The DNC rules were in place long before Sen Obama ever thought of being President. This same system in place now is the same system and rules that President Bill Clinton campaigned under and won twice. MI and FL will get some resolution, but in my opinion, they didn't play by the rules and they should have to face the consequences. You don't continue to move and change the rules when they don't benefit you. For those of you who say they can't steal this election away from Hillary or you won't vote? Hillary is not winning in states won, popular vote, delegate count, so there is no stealing of the election going on. If the Supers want to hand it to Hillary, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. But for right now, Hillary is in 2nd place and not the prospective nominee at this point. I also believe that half the supposed Hillary supporters on this board are really part of Operation Chaos and are here to continue the mischief and keep the divide going.

Think about it if Barack Obama said something like this "I'm a man and we need to stand up for men everywhere!" He would be shunned and practically stoned.

Even if he said the same phrase with "I'm an African American and we need to stand up for African Americans everywhere"

Let's face it. The only reason Hillary became a democrat is she knew in the republican party she could NEVER go anywhere as a woman since they only like old men. She conveniently married Bill and became a democrat. All this just to get where she is now. I would really like to ask her was it worth it? This is why she is so friendly with John Insane and always agrees with the republican policies. No, she will NEVER get any of my family or friends votes. I could not sleep if I voted for this republican. Vote for the ONLY democrat running Obama. On another note, I keep hearing about Michelle's thesis-well I wish Hillary would make her's public. I think many of you would see just how sick Hillary really is. I'm sure many people would RUN to get away from her. At least Michelle's is out there for the public to see.

A lot of people don't understand that the ball is in Clinton's court. It is essentially clinton's decision if she wants her voters to vote for Obama if he wins. She could simply take this to the floor in August and just destroy him.
I personally think she should do this because she is the stronger candidate for President.
This country is so scared that black people will retaliate that they will give the nomination to Obama instead to her.
Antoher thing is that if she really wanted to, she could run as an independant against both McCain and Obama...

I am one of the uneducated, low income, older women that Hilary thinks she speaks for ... that I am so ignorant that I don't know that Barcak is running as a man that cares deeply about this country that just happens to be black,that doesn't know that I get that as far as she is concerned this election is all about her, her goals and her dreams and her ambitions! Top reasons I will not and canot vote for Hillary, she lies (not misspeaks), offers let them eat cake solutions and is so out of touch with the american people and what is real. As a former Republican, how far removed is so from the It's all About Me group that have almost destroyed this country --- if she was honest and sincere she would get out now, not later. (Incidentally, I was thrilled when I first learned that she was running, it would give us Bill back, now I find myself appalled and very much afraid of someone who has written me off as an idiot that could so easily be swayed that I couldn't add 1+1 and come up with 2.

But right now he is our best hope for correcting the mess the bush/clinton administrations have created. Give him a chance to compete against McCain. I'm looking forward to the debates.

When Obama first ran for office, he knocked his opponents out by charging false accusations. They did not have the funds or time to fight it so dropped out. Then he gets the slum landlord, Rezko to campaign and support him using tainted money and won. He had helped Rezko get up to $100 million in grants or cheap loans for his business and Rezko paid him back by helping to purchase his mansion and the land.. He also had Bill Ayers open the door to the Chicago elite group for him. He used his church and pastor for political gain, then flushed them for political gain. This man is not honest and has no credibility, just a lot of big talk and false promises. If Obama wins, America loses.
