Oh!

Does this mean someone has to go to school to learn that the game has changed? Hillary knew it when she talked about the game changer thing.

So, we are waiting for Hillary to find an exit.

Murus,

I never saw a racist vote in my life until this election. Obama ' s change is to divide the democrat party more than you can think : black against white , young against old , woman against man , student against educator , labor worker against professionnal, drug dealer against crook , christian against moslem , party member against party member , and democrat against democrat. This is very good news for John Mcain , America hero. 2008 is for Hillary or Mcain.

Hey! I don't know him but my 1st impressioin is I LIKE HIM. Rep. Shuler simply kept his word to the people he represents. That's what REALLY matters people! CNN covered it because it is unusual. I believe his choice will help him in the long run as it is the right thing to do. Who cannot respect him for this? I'm sure Mr. Obama respects his integrity in this matter.

He made a commitment to his constituent that he would support the candidate who won his district…that person was Clinton NOT Obama. I respect a person who stands by their word. Wouldn't it be great if more politicians did that?

I appreciate him keeping his word with his constituents. However, I question CNN in placing this as the headline instead of the four supers Obama picked up. Nor was there any report of Obama picking up a superdelegate earlier this week. Seemingly imbalanced reporting.

"Why can't I just eat my Waffle?" – Oblahma said when answering the phone at 3AM! lol!!

THANK YOU Rep. Heath Shuler – You know a REAL winner when you see one!

Hillary on her way to the top of the mountain to shine like GOLD!!!

GOOOOOO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He went with his congressional constituents, I can't fault him for that even though its hopeless for Hillary.

This guy was not a good quarterback "…in 2004 ESPN rated him the 17th biggest 'sports flop' of the past 25 years". This proves that he's not a good politician either. Too many hits to the head I guess.

I have been wondering what the criteria for a superdelegate is.
I mean, how are they elected to be superdelegates or are they appointed by someone or what?

I admire Shuler for keeping his word. NOW if HRC would keep hers and play by the rules that she agreed to.

Of course she may have been wounded by a sniper, and can't remember what she agreed to

I have an interesting question for Hillary voters . . . if, by chance, she was gracious? enough to accept being his VP, would you vote for Obama and her then?

People criticizing Heath Shuler and saying he'll be voted out of office have no idea what they're talking about. Heath Shuler was specifically recruited as a moderate/conservative Democrat to run in a heavily conservative Republican district in 2006. Had he endorsed Obama, THAT would have been political suicide as Obama is even further to the left than Hillary Clinton is (or perceived to be).

Dems worked so hard in 2006 to regain the majority and were onyl able to do so by recruiting moderate and conservative Dems like Shuler to run in Republican strongholds. If we let the ultra-liberal wing of the party – Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and now Barack Obama – run things without consideration for moderate Dems who ultimately have to answer to conservative constituencies, we'll be back in the minority in no time.

Did you hear last night Campbell Brown made the remark that the Clinton voters would be expected to "hold their nose" and vote for Obama come the general election. How in the world can they allow someone to say that??

CNN journalists drool over Obama like groupies backstage at a concert and it's truly sickening. I am a lifelong democrat but if Obama is nominated he will not get my vote. Hillary can beat McCain so superdelegates need to wake up. Obama is a very intelligent man who will make a great vice president but he is not ready to be the president.
-Whose on the Green Party Ticket?

Well he goes to church with Bill, but stand with the super power liars..

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
The Obama campaign annoucned three superdelegates — Jeanette Council (NC); Jerry Meek (NC) and Inola Henry (CA) — have pledged support. AP is reporting one more, a switch from Clinton in Virginia, Jennifer McClellan. (We're working to confirm that and will update.)

The Delegate Counts:
PLEDGED: Obama 1,588-1,422
SUPERDELEGATES: Clinton 273.5-259
OVERALL: 1,847-1.695.5

* Obama is 178 from the Magic Number of 2,025.
* There are 262.5 undeclared superdelegates, including about 50 who are not yet named and will be added on at state conventions or the like.

An NFL player with no Brain. That will not save Hillary.

"Awesome. Me thinks a few of the superdelegates may realize that Clinton is winning the swing voters ( you know, us moderate democrats that will vote Republican if we are forced to do so)."

get real, you are an oxymoron.

He was a bum in the NFL and he's a bum now! HA HA. No just kidding. It's over for Hillary.

First and last term. What happened to majority rules Heath.
You're done.

The May 6 primaries did not surprise me at all. Indiana was supposed to be close and Obama was supposed to win big in North Carolina. A couple weeks ago North Carolina polls had Obama up 20-25%. Considering Clinton lost by 14% she did better than she was supposed to. The media is always letting Obama off the hook and always giving Clinton negative publicity. This race is not over, Clinton will win big in West Virginia and Kentucky(my home state). Dont forget Florida and Michigan should and WILL be counted. Your insane if your gonna tell me that Guam and the Virgin Islands, which dont even get to vote November, get more of an influence than Florida and Michigan which are two battleground states. Plus I thought that it has been a democratic moral to promate equality and fairness among all peoples. I'm 16 and I think I'm the only sane person left in this country.

Please don't tell me the sympathy vote is going to happen again. Can we just wrap this up and focus on McCain???

Al Gore is keeping mum but I think he will go for Obama soon. In fact, he may even be on the ticket with Obama! Just an educated guess! He has said, so has Edwards, that they didn't want to do the VP thing again but I bet they could be pursuaded!
Being a woman, I would love to see an Obama/Pelosi ticket. I admire that woman much more than I do Hillary Clinton, and think she'd make a great VP and probably attract a lot of women voters, who at present, are loyal to HRC.

Here's a thought… Instead of flooding everyone with empty promises or, worst yet, promises never intended on being kept… Remind the record number of voters this cycle that no matter how sincere a canidate might be, they can't do anything without being able to work with congress and visa-versa…
Dear Hillary, Barrack and John here's the challange for my vote…
Pick an issue, any issue facing us today, right now. Healthcare, soaring gas costs, the economy, food prices, ect…
Pick an issue and show us right now how great you are at working with congress to get things done… Fix it right now and you get my vote otherwise I'm gonna add you to my rather long list of polititians who know how to talk the talk but fall on their ***** – leaving us just one disaster away from total meltdown.
I am not from Missouri but y'all gotta show me!

WOW, that's the best news I heard all day. OK, now another and another and bye bye Nobama!

He wasn't that good of a QB. Apparently, he's not that wise of a politician, either.

Gary, you posted a comment that I felt I needed to respond to…..you seem to think Obama would be "an intern, inexperienced president "……um, have you been asleep the last 8 years? George Bush couldn't find his way out of a paper bag…….the big difference here, is that Obama actually has a brain………with all due respect to others whose political views differ from mine, you, Gary, need to stop and think about how your unwillingness to back whomever the Democratic nominee is does nothing more than cater to the very divisive mindset Hillary is becoming known for. I would rather have someone like Obama as president, than someone like McCain who is nothing more than a little mini me for George Bush. Are you actually obtuse enough to think that having McCain in office is going to benefit this country? Wow, you need to wake up.

The Super delegates will decide this primary, which mean that NONE OF OUR VOTES COUNT!!!

Way to go Democrat party, that is the way NOT to be Democratic!!!

Hey, Swing voter, you will be in the minority come November! Polls said 25% of Hillary's blind followers would vote McSame if she doesn't get the nomination . . . that means the other 75% will go with Obama plus 100% of his own smart voters!
I don't foresee Barack having any difficulty beating McSame in November. If you watch the votes being counted on CNNs real time coverage, you will notice that in almost every primary, McSame has only gotten half the number of votes that either Hillary or Barack did.
i.e. in PA HIllary ended up with a little over a million votes, Barack had just under a million and over in the Republican primary, McSame had a measly 450,000 votes and he is running unopposed! So do the math, had it been an actual election, Barack would have gotten a quarter million of HIllary's people plus almost a miilion of his own and would have "buried" McSame and his paltry 450,000 votes! Almost every state whose contest I have watched on CNN was pretty much the same. Obama will be our next president! Go Obama! It's time for change. We are fed up with the Republicans, lobbying, the war in Iraq, the price of oil, the economy in general . . . we need a democrat to fix it ! One with a vision . . . .Obama in 08!!!!

Hillary has lost it ! Its sad that she putting so much money on a lost cause

Hey, Congressman Schuler made a promise to his district and he's keeping it. I can respect him for that.

Yes We Can & Yes We Should
Obama 08′

C'mon, superDs! Let's go! Quit hesitating!

Regardless if you are a Clinton supporter or not….we all have the media to blame forcing Billary on us every since her questionable Senate race in 2000. If she never was married to a president…No one would have ever heard of Billary. She is merely a coat tale politician that had no real experience just a last name that she married. She had questionable practices during her legal days working for a small lawfirm.

Here's the bottom line…..WE ALL have contributed to her campaign whether you wanted to or not. Who do you think pays for every trip that her husband makes on her behave??? The US Taxpayer…yes…. The Secret Service needs to arrive before the former prez ever gets there so there all that expense that no one is talking about. I know we will never see what the real expense is to the tax payer to support her campaign but it will be well over a million dollars. And the longer she drags this out, she is punishing every single US taxpayer. Even if the government bills her for all this service…do you ever think she will pay for it since all the Clintons think they deserve it.

Also, with every one is struggling to pay a mortgage….here's is something else to ponder. Billary wants to help you out in some fashion…but…..and here's the kicker…The Clintons bill the US government for the expense to have the US Secret Service at their residence in NY. And its exact amount of their monthly mortgage payment……Who's the elist now???

Hey Lauren, You say he should go with who WON HIS STATE, then someone should clearly tell KERRY, KENNEDY and RICHARDSON, that OBAMA DIDN'T win their STATE.

Probably not a 2nd term

ALL you folks saying that Obama has no experience are not speaking truthfully. If he has no experience, why is it that he is succeeding in his campaign? How is it that he is able to manage his money and his coalition with such little exeprience? Hillary, after claiming to be so experienced yet she can't even manage her campaign. Isn't this a sign. Every time I turn around she's using Obama's words to campaign, and she keeps tallking about her experience yet voters aren't making their decision based on a person's tenure on Washington. What she fails to realize is that the voters want fresh blood, a person with character, integrity and truth. We don't want a liar in the White House anymore. Case closed!

Thank you!
You are real man! Standing by your word!

All super delegates in all states should support the candidate if they win their district….including Michigan and Florida……….I am a Democrat, and I will vote Republican in the General Election, if Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic Nominee….

Great Rep. Shuler, at least some politicians in Washington have some sense. The polls show that Hillary has the best chance against the Republicans. If Obama gets the nomination, the results will be the same as in 2004 when Senator Kerry was the Nominee. American does not want a liberal Democrat in the Presidency.

Middle America relates better to Hillary who can defeat John McCain and I believe the majority of super delegates know this.

I am not voting Republican because McCain doesn't want to be President. He's just going through the motions. He is 70 something years old, tired, lifeless and no energy. I'm voting for Obama because he represents a new direction, new ideas. Hillary is too negative and I'm tired of the Clintons, they've had eight years which ended with Bill being impeached. Enough is Enough. I can't believe that these "suppose-to-be"- faithful democrats are willing to vote for McCain out of spite just to keep Obama out of the White House. Where does it end.

I am a 100% Obama Supporter, and Shuler is correct, he was elected to repersent his District, and he did just that, A lot of people forget the role of a REP is to repersent the people that elected you and 13% more of his district said yes to Clinton, so he did what we want our political elects people to do and that is repersent the People. Right or Wrong it is the people decsion not his personel one.

Hey folks,

If you are a real BO supporter you MUST keep it clean. No joking around or negative quips.

The guy made a promise and he has followed through. Good for him! He must account to the people of his District, not the State.

We want a clean champaign, run possitively with respect for the other side.

Let the ecconomy, health care, Iraq etc be the theme and Barack the leader.

We will win in November. Yes We Can!

I can understand Mr. Shuler's reasoning, as he is being faithful to his districts voters. However, I am tired of Hillary trying to persuade the super delegates to ignore the majority of the voters and the rules that apply. Obama has more delegates, popular vote too but that aside, he has more delegates. I am an independent and if these "superdelegates" decide to follow Hillary and and go against the peoples votes, I will have to become a Republican. How could I ever vote for a party again that doesn't care how it's majority voted. I know the agruement about Florida and Michigan, well if they had followed the rules we wouldn't be in this particular mess would we. We are supposed to be showing the world what a democracy is and how civil politics are handled. What a laugh. When was the last time we could honestly say that we succeeded in that?

Rush, Mo. I am with you.

I have no problem with that his district went for Her , He has his right to choose.

OBAMA 08,12

Dems Unite!!!!!

to all hillary supporters.i just wanna say its not to late to join us on our quest to bring this government back to the people.JOIN US PLEASE..THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS TO UNITE!!!!
OBAMA 08

He kept his words but in Hillaryland promises are meant to be broken so what is there for a man to do resucitate a LOSER in a coffin. He gets banged to many times and can not think straight. That is all folks!!!

He knows a winner when he sees one.

In 2008, ESPN rated him the 4th biggest NFL Draft bust of all time.

One winner to an other.

He kept his word. I have no issues with it. I hope he change his mind in a few days

I respect him for sticking to his word to his district, but I think race had a impact on Schuler's decision. Ofcourse the African Americans voted along racial lines but white people have been doing it for years and no one talks about because I guess European Americans have paid for their sins as enslavers, invaders and now are 100% fair minded people? There are about 30% of Euro Americans that might be fair minded on race issue in USA. This number is increasing with the younger vote which can probably be attributed to education, de-segregation and media. USA has a long way to go compared to countries such as India which has already had a woman & minority heads of state and soon to be possibly an Italian born woman as the next Prime Minister.

Why would someone endorse someone who can't win?

What winning team was he ever on?

Maybe she'll remember in 2016 when she has another chance to run and needs a die-hard supporter without too many other skills other than to recognize a hopeless cause. Give it up Mrs. C, you're killing the Democratic Party with your power trip.

This is an example of typical "Clinton logic".

The overwhelming majority of the state voted for Obama, so this idot pledges his vote for the loser. I wonder what kind of deal Bill made with him while they were in church on Sunday.

In the wake of where we stand in this democratic nomination. IT is time for DEMOCRATS, not just Obama supports or Hillary supporters to unite. We need strength in numbers. Bashing other's decision to stand on their principles is exactly what this campaign of change is all about! Let's focus on the new direction NC has provided for our party and get moving. It's disturbing to think that our division can increase the Republicans to proceed another 4 years! People stop and think! It's time to unite, focus and complete the new change for 08. I know we are in this as a whole! Move forward!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Karl Rove, Crawford Texas

Thats an awsome comment.

Good Point

If he told his voters who ever won his district he would endorse, that's fair and shows backbone.

Unfortunately Heath should have hoped that Obama won his district, so that he could be quartebacking on a winning team.

C'mon Gore and Edwards lend your support to Obama and let Hillary bow out gracefully.

Obama 08

Here is some math for Indiana. There are 1,272,471 voters. That would give HC 50.57 % and BO 49.43 %. Therfore HC has only 1.14 percentage points over Obama. HC should drop ASAP for the better of the party and herself.

Western NC has its points of beauty (Asheville), but remember that there are plenty of hillbillies and inbreeds out there…for this guy to truly represent his constituents, he has to jump on the sinking ship…S.S. Clinton…Ahoy!

Hillary is perpetuating the division in the party…she should concede for the greater good…oh yeah, she owes herself some money so I guess she'll keep it going…i'm sure she's not getting a stimulus check this week!

A superdelegate with such a high position who cannot read the signs should be booted out of his position. Clearly he is not acting in the interest of the Democratic party.

Sorry– but I have to respect him for keeping his word. He didnt say he would back the State winner– but of his district and he did– nothing dishonorable about that. And where do people think that at as the State goes, so go all the Supers– if a State splits 49% to 48% why can't the Supers split in the same manner? I am a true believe in what Obama stands for but I think it is time we stop being so angry with supporters of another candidate here– and stop taking everything so personally! No question the media is getting a lot of play on this protracted primary– but after watching the election returns on CNN last night how can anyone say they are biased against Sen Obama. Quite frankly I think they do their fair share of slamming both candidates.

Well, I didnt see like 100 SD rushing to camp Obama like the media predicted, so it ain't over.

Why not just relax and let the process continue till everyone has voted? Is this too much to ask? BO does not have 2025 and HRC has every right to keep going!

Besides, there are a lot who believe that BO cannot win the general, otherwise, this would be over.

I think the guy get's points for loyalty… it's not a good decision, but it allows Sen. Clinton to bow out with grace. I don't think we'll see too many more endorsements for Obama, UNLESS Sen. Clinton becomes stubborn about leaving the primary. I feel that the supers will have backroom discussions with her and we will see her drop in the next day or so.

Thank you for your vote of confidence for Hillary Clinton. Even though Obama is still ahead in the delegate count, I feel that Clinton is still the best choice for the presidency candidate. I think the supporters are all blinded by his speeches and his talk of change but I see Obama is no different from Clinton. She is also a candidate for change. If Obama is elected the democrat nominee then I can see for sure that McCain will be the next president. I am a democrat supporter but I would not vote for Obama. I would rather not vote or I would vote for McCain. At least he has some experience and therefore I feel that Obama is going to lose and I hope he does to teach the democrats a lesson for not choosing the better candidate.

Hillary you do not give up until your delegates from Florida and Michigan are seated and their votes count and if that is done then you will be the leader. Do not let anyone pressure you to quit the race now because that means you will be telling Florida and Michigan that you do not care about their votes. These votes have to be counted to have a fair election process for the nominee selection. What has happened to fair democracy? America tells the rest of the world how to run their elections and they are doing something completely different and unfair to one of the candidates which could cause her to lose the candidacy.

Please stop pressuring Hillary to get out of the race because she is not going until Michigan and Florida votes are counted in and then she does not leave as it will be Obama who is behind in the count.

All of you Obamabots bashing this guy. Look, he made a decision a long time ago and said he'd vote for whomever his district selected. And he kept his word.

What is wrong with that?

Alot of this clinton blogers have a hard time compossing a readable sentence on the blog. I wonder why. N way I guess they dont understand what is really going on here.
Hey Man Obama thats the way to go. Keep rolling, Mccain is "no biggy"

I understand that it's important to keep your word, but giving the circumstances, that's not very smart. He might as well give his vote to John Edward or just put his vote in the trash can, because it’s now useless.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I admire that he kept his word and did as his constituents asked him to do.

Someone keeping their word in the Clinton campaign ought to make headlines…

Clinton wouldn't even have won Indiana (although by a very narrow margin) had republicans not voted for her in order to prolong this primary. If republicans, who will not vote for her in November should she become the nominee, are what's keeping her campaign alive, that says that her "electability" argument is false. Give it up!

Obama '08

Atleast he stuck with his word. Good job DEM.

All of us DEMS, rural, college educated, high school educated, old, young, black, white and brown all appreciate the Clintons, but it's a NEW DAY and TIME!

Obama!!

I don't understand why the superdelegates are weighing in now. Mccain had so much more integrity and honor than Obama ever will in this race. Let everyone vote and then I think the supers should decide. The Republicans never did this to Mike Huckabee. Show some respect for all the people that voted for her. Putting salt in a wound so early is just being elitest and bullying. These definitely aren't democrats.

THE REPUBLICANS WILL BECOME THE NEW DEMOCRATS NOW.

People love a winner but also admire a tenacious fighter! Let's be fair and let the process run its course! If the DNC wants to shorten the primary process, it should adopt the RNC's rules! Let the nominee win the nomination by getting the required number of delegates or by the decision of the superdelegates if the first option does not determine the winner! We have to play by the rules! A win by default is not as strong as a KO or a technical decision! If the voters in Florida and Michigan are not counted, either S. Clinton or S. Obama may pay the price for it in November!

SOME OF YOU ARE SICK, IN THE HEAD,
this race for the Dems should be a good thing, instead some have used it as if the Dems are at war with each other……..please it is these same petty divisions that allowed the othe party to take over int he first place
support your party ………….and it's nominee

I think he must have been sacked too often ………….can't imagine a young Democratic jumping on the Clinton Band wagon…..maybe they campaigned for him during his race???? Considering the overwhelming staewide results .13 votes in his district seems to be an excuse. Maybe his wife wears the pants???

Hillary and all the superdelegates need to get behind Obama, and let's win the General election.

Here we go! Shurler, let your racism show. This woman is down in the delegates, down in the Popular vote and she is a blatant cronic lier along with her husband Bill. The Clintons are racists also along with you. She needs to give it up and save her money for Chelsea although We All know NOW WHO THE ELITIST IS (HILLARY) AND BILL! ANYONE THAT CAN LOAN THEMSELF $6.4 MILLION DOLLARS is for sure among the elite people and thinks of themselves as such!

Go Senator Obama: Our President of these United States 2009!

Blessed in
New York City

RICH in upstate NY, you will seal the fate of others including yourself, Vote for Mc Same and the republicans will LAUGH AT THE DEMOCRATS , thye think we're stupid so just prove them right with your analogy.
Schuler who cares that just makes up for the super dlegate she lost. Mc Govern came over to the Obama-nation . SO DO YOU !!!!!!!!! and we will be fine anyway. Clintons delegate -1 , Barack +1

I think we can all stop bashing CNN is as well… They sell comercial air time based on ratings, just like the rest.

Biased, yes. Fair, no. News, sometimes.

Sucks, but that won't be changing anytime soon!

Supporting who won his district? Wow, talk about wanting to get re-elected. I think going with the state might make more sense or just go with the popular vote.. or how about go with the "presumptive nominee" so we can get this over with?

well it s clear he s as good at this job as he was in the nfl loser

I agree CNN you have gotten real sad with this one sided mess…but it is your brothers/sisters as well as. I agree with others that you get the one for her and the 5 or 6 for him buried somewhere..dont blow this for our country, news will live on…

I guess he can say goodbye to black constituents in his district. At least he's man enough to vote his conscience.

Wow! How many Super Bowl rings and SEC Conference Championship rings do Obama and Hillary have? To read your comments one would think being a football quarterback was a prerequisite to being a politician. Absurd! But then, reading your comments with the awful spelling and atrocious grammar I am wondering how you could read the ballot to vote. It does not matter who Shuler supports as a superdelegate for western North Carolina as the democrats will be wiped out in that part of the state anyway come November.

when is the power behind obama going to let the reverend out. are they waiting for a double header with the rezko trial this summer

Hillary Clinton it is you the wealthy and well connected with earnings of 110 millions.

Conflicts of interest in Dubai, Cayman Islands and trade speeches in Columbia.

Taking care of our negleted troops when you voted for the war. It is an insult the gas tax break and now asking for more money to fund your campaign.

You are full of nonsense, BRING OUT THE SHOVEL AND SPLUNGER.

Don't be silly and vote against your own and Americas own self interest.
That would really be just DUMB………
SUPPORT YOUR PAERTY'S NOMINEE PLEASE WE NEED A CHANGE
AND EITHER OF OUR POTENTIAL DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES WOULD BE A HISTORICAL CHANGE TO THE FACE OF THE WHITE HOUSE…….
AND I BELIEVE A GOOD CHANGE FOR ALL AMERICANS…..

I respect the man for his integrity. He is still wet behind the ears, too. Will have to learn to be careful about the promises he makes. LOL

But, more should be reported on the four or more super delegates that Obama picked up today and the ones he got yesterday…????

This man played football of course he is going to say tackle it. I am beginning to believe that what Hilliary has stated about backing Obama to become presidents is a lie what I think she did was threatened to ruin the party if they did not argue her case. See that's why women can not lead they too vandictive. I could see if she had a chance, but she do not and for the super delegates not to come forward and tell her that by making their decision to back Obama is giving her big head and making her think she got a shot. The bottom line is we need to get this over with to solve some of these solutions that she claim to be taking care now. Those florida delegates can not be sented in her favor because neither state was an official election period. I think Obama as winner should have the right to choose his Vice president in which I trust he will choose someone that will make Nov a day to remember. Hilliary is trying to prove she is needed, but I am sure there is someone even more powerful that will bring that vote home. Do you know who? possibly a republican, a women whoever they have to have a strong foreign war background and a negotiator. Post your ideas?

Senator Clinton is ready to lead! Think!

For all of you Obama supporters screaming about the NC superdelegate who is supporting Hillary, need I remind you of Bill Richardson? Hillary won NM and he's still backing Obama. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. This needs to go ALL the way to the convention. Pledged delegates and super delegates alike can change their mind at ANY time.

Hey folks, lay off Shuler. In case you missed it, he presented one of the best bills in Congress for Imigration reform. He did what he promised his constituents (they chose to elect him, remember). Now it will be his job to help bring those constituents on board in November. Get over the football thing guys, grow up a little. At least he kept his word to his district, now THAT's change!

I guess the 5 Supers, including another defector to Obama that he received this morning are not news to CNN? Or not the news that they wanted to hear

I can't believe all you Obama people just know so much. Too bad you can't solve all the problems. Just wait you will see.

No need to bash this guy… I support Obama, but I respect this guy's decision to follow his district.

Glad to see Obama picked up 3 more dels though!

A man of his word…I can respect that…but i thought it was about the will of the "people" and not "districts"….looks like these elected officials are worried about their jobs….if they go against their district they will loose come re-election….these democratic governors needed to remember that as well when they are up for relection….it's clear governor easly endorsed her prematurely and she lost big time and now the people of NC is going to remember that come his time for re-election……

To whom voters give much, much is expected. However, on this point, Sen. Clinton has left much unfulfilled. She has fallen short of the nomination as she fell short on universal healthcare. She should concede the Democratic presidential nomination race to Sen. Obama. Her biggest challenge now will be to help mend and heal the political wounds caused by this bitter and ugly primary fight.

Hillary Clinton will prevail at the end. Voters should not be blinded by some smooth talking guy in a shiny suit. Lets not forget she did win Indiana. A win is still a win. Although Obama won NC, that outcome was totally predicted based on the demograhics of that state. So what else is new. Obama is not electable and I hope these superdelegates do their job and make the right decision and vote for Hillary.

He did not have to back anybody! He might have made a promise and kept it …I don't know and that is certainly admirable..but it is a useless and very bad decision in respect to the party,

what about Edwards ?

Obama 08

Shuler is keeping his word and his job…

Well what do you expect. He went to church with Bill.

The joke of the day!

How ironic, Shuler gives support to Hillary because his constituency voted for her – while at the same time she beats the drum about superdelegates doing just the opposite in order for her to capture the nomination.

Man of his word. I admire and respect that.

Why do you people think we all have to support your token negro?
Fight on Hillary!

—-that is one the reasons we should not vote for her, its all about them, forget the people of usa, —–

shame on hillary

I wonder about some of CNN's reporting…

AAAhhh….ok..he went with his district.

Wow…an honest democrat. Where did you find this guy???

He's cute but not too bright. I like that in a man.

This guy obviously got hit in the head one too many times
while playing football… what the heck is wrong with him!!!
Obama took her OUT!! Why would you still support her!

Manuel TX, Yes they are I think they are hired by the Obama camp…they are typical of his type of people!!! Worst than George Bush and that is saying a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

And Hillary's last words last night were, SEND MONEY!!!!
How come you people that love her so much don't send your
gas money to her.?????

Keep them coming! 174 needed!

can somebody please wake this guy from sleep, clinton has lost, what has bill done to his brain.

What is Shuler's reasoning?

I don't agree with his decision but he kept his word which is good to the people he represents.

Unbelieveable…………Maybe that is why his career wasn't that great while he was in the NFL…….judgement is everything, especially being a quarterback in the NFL…….

Dear Hillary,
Please stay in the race. Do the dirty work for us. We rublicans may not all love Mccain as much as Huckabee but we can agree on one thing—Any republican is better than HIllary or Obama.
—-Republican Empire 2000-20016

Hillary is no problem! The real problem are the superdelegates!

Like HC says, he can always change his mind later….

You have to respect his decision. He is standing by his district. Can't blame him for that.

Obama did pick up three or four more supers. Good for him.

The guy must not have worn a helmet in his football days!

OBAMA '08

The Superdelegates should bring this to an end. Hillary's friends and spouse should encourage her to let it go.

Senator Clinton, you've _lost_. The sooner you accept that publicly, the less you damage your own reputation and the party you've worked so hard for.

He did the right Democratic thing to do. He voted based on the desires of his district. Obama will still win the nomination. Check out mifavpolitician.com, to support your candidate. Has some cool, humorous stuff.

A Democrat in 08!!

Come on, fellow Obama supporters. He's doing what we wish all "super" delegates would – respect the will of the voters and reflect the popular vote. Seems like a reasonable approach to me.

Man, the Obamabots that post on CNN are really despicable.

Gotta respect him for living up to his promise and representing his district… Congrats Hillary…

The Illonois senator's loss in Indiana proved that Obama may not win some crucial demographic segments. Without the decisive support from those segments he could not win the general election.

Clinton 08

As adept at choices in politics as he was on the gridiron… What career??

This guy need to go back to playing football for real. How in the world did he get become a superdelegate? Now that's someone who is out of touch. Who voted him to be congressman? And Why?

Shuler is playing without a full deck on this one. What on earth could be his reasoning for doing this?

Heath Shuler – he wasn't a very good quarterback so I hope he is a better politician. Sounds like he may have had a few concussions but have to say he is sticking to his word.

Isn't that how the Obama camp says super delegates should vote: by how their constituents voted. So why are the Obamabots complaining?!

Can you say sinking ship???

What choice did he have as an elected official. I would rather he kept his word then run the risk of losing his seat due to angry supporters who would label him as a liar. So I guess it is only fitting he back her.

Shuler, you should not disrespect the rest of the districts through North Carolina. The voters voted for Senator Obama and you should support the candidate they chose. You are a disgrace to the people of North Carolina and to the democratic party. You as a super delegate should know better. Shame on you!

Don't forget Shuler can change his mind and he won't be the only one.

superdelegates need to follow the will of the voters obama won so superdelagates need to rally behind him now.. Hillary just go home its over and u lost ur shot for next time too go obama.

Only on CNN would there be a serious article entitled, "Can Hillary Rebound?". CNN needs to stop feeding the beast. As much as Time Warner wants Clinton as the nominee, you're now to the point of being the laughing stock of any political 'new' website.

Please do not blame him He just respect what he said.

Heath Shuler I will try one more time to thank you for respecting your own word and secondly for being young enough so you can climb up the political ladder and one day run for the presidency…

Shuler did the right thing, he made a promise and stuck with it, even if it was for a dead end candidate.

However, CNN has neglected to report the two of the four superdelegates that have chosen Obama today!

While I could make "pillow" reference to Clinton, I think she could use a pillow or two after the blows she took yesterday.

If thats what he said he was going to do from the start then there is no harm, he kept his word.

Obama 08

Moderator are you from NC??? Why did you block my comment….

At least there is one person (Heath Shuler) in NC with brains!!!

West Virginia – COME ON BOARD. You went for Kennedy, Now go for Obama. Show the rest of the country, they you too are tired of the same ole same ole in Washington. Give Obama chance. Don't let the media tell you that you have to give your vote to the past.

Good for Schuler at least he is a man of his word with her chances being slim.

Typical. Someone has the audacity to not fall into goose-step with the Obama supporters and his is "dumb." These children are great.

I guess this will be his last term as a congressman!
What a buffun!!

I hope that you are voted out of office for not supporting change

I repsect his decision but it is time for the democrats to unite

This guy is an idiot! What does he do in Congress when he is voting, flip a coin?

It's clear that this guy is also a typical selfish politician

Isn't is strange that anyone who disagrees with Obama supporters must be deranged or corrupt or in any case, certainly wrong. I wonder where all this world experience came from that makes Obama, and only Obama supporters, sooooooooooo very smart. Hint…. it might not be everybody else that is wrong. There just might be people out there with more knowledge and experience and wisdom than Obama or his nasty ugly supporters.

im sure Obama picked up a more delegates today than Hillary.OBAMA 08….ITS GAME OVER

He went to church and then lunch with Bill. He pomised that we would vote the way his constiuents went. Played very safe here and not like a star. Very indicative of his football career………but you have to give him credit for sticking with his promise.

Wow, that's the end of his career. that's a shame. too funny.

he'll switch pretty soon once he figures hillary cant win

CNN, where is my comment?

I like Obama, but this guy did say he would support whomever won his district, and apparently Hillary won his district.
So he's standing by his word. Gotta respect him for that.

A first round draft pick bust apparently isn't doing much better in his new career.

Are you guys ready for an intern, inexperienced President? You can have Obama if you want!

Good endorsement Rep. Shuler! HILLARY is set to win big in West Virginia & she is set to win this election!

I will NEVER vote for Obama! I would sooner vote for George Bush again. As that is not possible, I would vote for McCain over Obama.

Why endorse Senator Clinton when she is losing and no way can she caught up. I think this young man just wasted his vote.

I respect Shuler for sticking to his word … we need more politicians do so. The one that is out of her mind is Hillary. She can't give up her 15 minutes of fame and work towards uniting the party.

That's alright, nice job Mr. Shuler but still 200+ to go. No lose to Senator O.

Brad, and you trust the Clintons???? Where were you when Bill Clintong was doing his dirty work while he was in the White House?? OMG!!!!

Shuler was a loser in the NFL with the Washington Redskins, and he is a loser with the Clinton Campaign. This guy is a Super Idiot.

A terrible QB and even a worse Congressman. I wont fault him for living up to his word though.

"Barack Obama pocketed the support of at least four Democratic convention superdelegates on Wednesday, building on the momentum from a convincing North Carolina primary victory."

Priceless!!!

Too many tackles that led to head injuries….

Nothing super about this delegate.

Looks like HRC has wrapped up the white athletic scholarship 'jock' vote. Maybe there is a job for him on Wall Street because it will not be on K street. Maybe they can become Republican presidential lobbyists together, because at this point that is all that Hillary's campaign amounts to

funny comments on here!

Superdelegate should decide NOW!!

The guy did what he said he would do. No harm in that and no sense calling him out of his name. I wish more people would do that. I'm an Obama supporter but I can find no fault in what this guy did. I support his decision.

I would rather see him on Obama's side. But let's give him credit for standing to his words and trying to do the right thing.
Fellow Obama-supporters, it doesn't matter if he was a good quaterback or not. Let's not get down on the low Clinton supporter level.

First it was horrifying, then it became funny, and now it is just sad in how Hillary acts like she can still win. All I can feel is piety for those who still believe she has a chance.

His constituents can at least be sure he supports them. That is a lot more than many elected officials do. Would Hillary do the same for you?

Please, everyone – stop the taunting. Listen to what Obama is sayinig and has been saying all along…we need unity right now. All Democrats need to vote for whoever the nominee is. We MUST win, our we're headed for four more bad years. We're digging a big hole right now, and we need a Democrat in office to help us crawl out.

Only if Richardson did the same thing. Every time I saw him speaking, I feel he is slapping his own face while saying things contrary to what he said before.

Wow. Nice. A politician who stands by his word.

And so it begins. It will be over soon.

Obama 08

That's why the Redskins dropped you . Always making bad decisions

I repsect his decision, and wish the representatives from Washington State did the same (Many supported Hillary, although Obama won their districts). Support the candidate whom you constituents voted on. Obama would have a much larger Superdelegate lead if more representative voted that way.

okay…..but you're sailing on a sinking ship

Schuler has no choice ..he made a committment and has to stick to it ! That is a respected decision ..it sucks but he promised!!

I understand and honor Shuler's promise to support whomever won his district. But what I can't understand if your going down fighting, shouldn't the fight be close?

why does one Clinton super delegate get a whole article, and Obama's 3 get a once sentence mention as an afterthought?

A quarterback eh? I thought you needed some intelligence to be a quarterback. This guy, Schuler, clearly doesn't have it. In all fairness, he is keeping his word and voting for the will of his people (district) but he is still a dumb fella.

Too Bad, If Hillary drops out, I will not vote! I do not trust Barak Obama.
I would prefer McCain to him,

Obama picked up 4 superdelegates today. Go Obama !!

Was he wearing a helmet when he played?

Good on Schuler, a man of his word. BTW, Schuler is a moderate democrat.

I respect anyone who could keep his or her word, even though I think a good man throws his support to a wrong person.

Bless you.

Why are super delegates are letting this think to go on, I hope they can see the only hope for this country and a better world is OBAMA !!!!

Come on guys! Give this guy a break. He is a formal NFL player that got hit in the head too many times. He really don't know that he just endorsed Clinton…just like she doesn't know that the race is really over.

rep Shuler is a real loser. he was a ball player too. no surprise

We must respect his decision

This guy got hit in the head one too many times. He clearly does not think straight.

too many concussions on the playing field.he's not as good a politician,as he was a football player.

Respect his decision….everyone has a different logic, it may be state, district, delegate leader, etc. As long as that logic was established beforehand and not a rationale after the fact.

Clinton's go home

Shuler always said he'd endorse whoever won NC-11.

Hillary won NC-11.

lol…. i am a OBam supporter … but he said that b 4 the contest…. im not going to hate u buddy….. but you are on the loosing side

Obama 08

Great! Now will the other superdelegates come on out? We know your supporting him behind closed doors. Come out the closet! Don't let our presumptive nominee take any mud slinging from Hillary.

Schuler, definitely out of his frigging mind

He didn't make very good decisions as an NFL quarterback either.

All the supers should vote based on what the people in there area voted for… (I wonder if someone would go a poll that would show what the numbers would be if that was the case)

And in other news, Ryan Leaf and Tim Couch also announced they are supporting Hillary…

Who cares – You did not do anything worthwhile since you were the QB at Tennessee……

Good Bye!

I respect him staying with his original promise, but he was a terrible quarterback.

Congressman Schuler is really an "Operation Chaos Operative".. working undercover for Rush Limbaugh..

I respect him for keeping his words.

He has been sacked too many times!!

Rep. Heath Shuler has to support Cliton because Bill went to church with him and took him to lunch

wait a minute did Clinton win NC by 13 points or lost by 14%?
CNN what is going on here?

He stood by his word. No need to blame him fellow Obama supporters.

Obama '08

He did the right thing…he endorsed Clinton because he promised his constituents that he would endorse whomever they voted for. Backing out of that would be a bad thing.

Yeah!…who are the super delegates that Barack just picked up?

YAY… It's all over, (clap, clap, clap), it's all over (clap, clap, clap)…. BYE HILLARY….

Why?!
He should go with who won the STATE—– and that CLEARLY was Obama…

Whatever….if he wants to back her even when she is losing…let him. His district voted for her so he is going with the flow.

I believe he is. He is just one of the so called white uneducated people as CNN keeps calling it. I wish they would stop with that. That looks down upon people.

When will this woman go away

Heath was a lost on the filed and …

All super delegates should vote on how their districts were won…

He has to back her. He gave his word to back whomever won in his district. He had no choice.

I can appreicate his loyalty to his district and Hillary; its admirable. Having said that, he knows it doesn't mean much and so does Hillary.

Let's unite to win the fight!
Obama 08

Looks like the Head injury he took while being a NFL quaterback is causing him this problems. He can't see straight. May be in 3 weeks time he will repent and change his mind.

Even the flying monkeys are abandoning her because she is melting, melting, melting….. LOL

Poor and dumb Guy.

Probably his first term will be his last term too. hahaha..

I understand his logic and I can respect his decision.

lol something wrong with this guy, its pointless for him to do that, oh I forgot he went to lunch with Bill Clinton couple days ago.

More superdelegates should support OBAMA to make Hillary to understand that the game is over.

OBAMA 2008…!!!

I guess you can't blame him for living up to what he said he would do.

Are you kidding me? You endorse Clinton the day after your state handily voted for Obama, and she has basically become a mathematical impossibility?

Stop encouraging her already. How about accepting that Obama has won the nomination and doing a little something to UNITE the party?

Well I guess he knows not to go against his paycheck
please you need a Job next term.

I am very content Clinton is in the race, especially since i prefer republican values.

What i don't understand is the lack of integrity of clinton backers. Don't Americans take pride in having integrity any more? Didn't she of her own volition agree to and sign a deal that fl/mi don't count?

And she claims experience. What, being a wife or a failed health bill?

Am I missing something…? Where's the CNN story on the four super delegates Sen. Obama picked up today? Will this even get posted… I wonder.

A man true to his word!!!

A RARE commodity in Washington!!

Gotta respect the guy for keeping his word. He must have gotten a few too many concussions from his quarterback days if he thinks that Clinton will get the nomination, however.

Even though the people who chosen HRC are republican and they will not vote for Democrat in the fall, it's good to keep people will. You will come and support Obama when she leave the race.

Is he out of his mind?

Nice gesture for the first termer. Not too wise but still nice. His inexperience in politics is showing as he can't see the bus coming down the street at him. Going to be hard getting your first press backing a candidate that is about to drop out. Kind of makes him look silly…or Clinton Starstruct.

In the same paragraph he has to read that his Vote has been cancelled out even as it was announced. OW!

Awesome. Me thinks a few of the superdelegates may realize that Clinton is winning the swing voters ( you know, us moderate democrats that will vote Republican if we are forced to do so).

Hillary 08, or McCain if necessary!

Proof positive that FOOTBALL IS A VERY DANGEROUS SPORT and can cause serious damage to a person's brain.

Concussions can have long term effects.

too many hits to the head huh Schuler?

Why jump on the titanic when it sinking?

Are you for real?

How can any of the North Carolina superdelegates even think about backing Clinton at this point? I would have understood if this were a superdelegate from Indiana, but the people of North Carolina made it clear who they want as our nominee.

Common Sense '08!

CNN,

Funny you never posted the 4 supers that Obama got the other day nor obviously the one he got in North Carolina yesterday but put this one up really fast. Did Clinton loan her campaign $6.4 million or pay you guys $6.4 million to keep her on life support.?

Please be fair CNN!

A man true to his word.

A super for Clinton gets the headline, and a super for Obama is a foot note. Clinton News Network clinging to the hopes of this going on for their ratings' sake is sad.
