I HOPE HILLARY LOSES HER SENATE SEAT COME HER RE-ELECTION BECAUSE SHE WENT TO THE SENATE TO SERVE HER SELF EGO AND NOTHING ELSE. ALL SHE HAS IS A BIG mouth!!!!!

It continues to amaze me to what extent Hilary Clinton will go to destroying the democratic party. This entire campaign to date we've heard her message sway with inconsistencies, merely to win the next primary. Her campaigns and individual comments always negative and attacking of Obama. And this nieve ideology that she is more expereienced and popular of a candidate than Obama- meanwhile having less popular vote and delegates. WAKE UP! You ran a strong campaign. If you're so experience...you would know when to call it quits for your party...and how to lose with grace.

Her "say anything to win" is not the change America needs, it's the same old Washington politics that continue to drag our country and people down.

This is so pathetic and desperate.....

working, hard working, white americans...as opposed to....wow she is totally out of touch and needs to go away.

As a white, upper income independent, I am appalled at the Senator's Clinton's comments. She certainly does not speak for me nor for the millions of white independents, Republicans and Democrats who have voted for Barrack Obama. She's only sees the playing field through her own prism and that is why her candidacy has failed.

It appears that she wants to destroy the Democrats' chances in November with this kind of misguided judgment, but people are smarter than she thinks they are.

Lucky that we have seen what lies behind this alleged "fighter." No shame and all blame!

Its a sad day....when anyone would listen to Hillary Clinton

I'm a white Republican...and I support Obama....not because he is black....and not because of his gender....

Get rid of this mess now

If 70% of whites are racists then why it is a crime to say it aloud.
This is the fact and Billary is in her right to use.

It is not whether I approve it or not it is about hypocrisy in the press.
Yes, whites and Mexicans hate blacks and will not vote for Obama.
Policies and positions do not matter here. Is about race.

Go Obama.

Time for the DNC and the party elders to show some leadership and stop this. Sen. Clinton could have gone out with some dignity, like Mike Huckabee, but she has chosen the lower road. Hillary Clinton is part of the Democratic Party, but the Party is more than Sen. Clinton.

Here are some numbers 1 out of 8 black voters are voting for Hillary. So that means 7 of 8 have voted for Obama. Here is the rest of the story. 7 of 8 black voters also voted for Kerry, Gore & Bill Clinton. Do we see a pattern?

You have got it, it is all about race.

Get the facts people and forget her hype.

As part of the international community who are avidly following the Democratic Party Primaries, it's such a shame to see Hillary Clinton make such demeaning and shameful comments. She has just shown she is still very much a part of the same old political machinery who will say and do just about anything to get themselves elected.

I sincerley hope that Americans will see through this and will come to understand the truly profound significance Barack Obama will have on the world stage, where he will no doubt restore the worlds respect and admiration that America truly deserves, which has been on a steady decline over the past decade.

Do we want a democrat in the WH or not? She has the support of the party's base. You can interpert her comments anyway you want but the important question is who is more electable. Who can get more votes against McCain in November. She is the stronget and she has a much better chance. Dems can get emotional and loose their chance to the WH again.
Hopefully the remaining super deligates will use their brain rather than their emotion.

her only chance is if Obama disappears.
Knowing Clintons Obama should increase security .
ASAP.
Extremely important.

does anyone else notice that she sounds like a racist

Keep on hacking, Hillary. Whatever works for you and Bill. Forget the math. Forget reality. Forget decency. Just keep on hacking.

Thats just not true and its a racist statement.

This isn't even about the campaign any more. It's not about any of the candidates. These comments and her actions throughout this process are about her losing everything that she once stood for. I started out a Hillary supporter because I thought she was the candidate for change. It's sad to see how wrong I was...

Good, God. I'm an independent; but if the democratic party does not do something immediately to stop this woman, she's going to burn the whole party down with these scorched earth tactics till there' s no way for the democrats to compete in this election.

She'd sell the whole country away for her ambitions, and that's not what I want in a President of the United States.

She's said that if it came to a point where there was no chance of her winning, she'd support the nominee, she's said it repeatedly but the line of when she'll step out keeps changing. Now she's saying she'll support the nominee, but only after the DNC forcefully removes her from the running.

As an American citizen, I beg the Super-delegates to end this circus.

Just think for a moment about this. Hilary says she has experience. Clinton's economic proposal to recover the 8.5 million with windfall profits tax on oil companies cannot happen. She's already committed that money to developing renewable energy. The proceeds normally go for highway repair jobs and 300,000 jobs would be lost there. So, just where does her experience excel?. She says she regrets the decision to go to war, but wants to decimate Iran. So, it's not human rights that interest her.
This woman would sell her mother to get elected. Be careful what you wish for.

It's over Hillary! Get OUT before you destroy the party!!!

Every last white voter who cast their ballot for Clinton is racist and would never vote for a black man? Clinton is actually playing the race card on her OWN SUPPORTERS!? Wow...

and also, to think that her supporters are the ones that say obama is a racist? racist how again?

I'm not even a minority group and this comment makes me sick! I've felt for a long time that I could not vote for her and this just clinches the deal. That comment is just plain divisive.

Dan please tell me when Barack said Black Americans prefer him and after all this I cant believe you still support Hillary. When will we ever learn?? Barack has NEVER played the race card he knows he NEEDS ALL votes blacks, white, lations, asians, etc to get into the white house so he has NEVER tried to run as the black candidate which is why he has gotten so far. Blacks dont have to "play" the race card anway we live it everyday.

That is low Hillary, now she will say anything. I was thinking maybe she could pack it in and run with Obama as his running mate, Now I'd rather she not. First of all, she is in financial trouble. She wants to balance a budget and she can't handle her campaign money. She BORROWED another $6Million from herself and she is in deep debt behind all this. And we can't forget the whole mishandling or what ever sneaky thing happened that misplaced $1.2 Million that she denied getting and from who she got it from (some people know if you do your homework) And her Financial adviser David Rosen took the heat for that one. Trust me. I think she's getting a free ride from some tough tough questions about her past financial issues. But if she steals this election, the republicans are going to be all over that.

She has sunk to this???? Vile. Disgusting. Repulsive. Yeah, I'm white, and lady, it will be a cold day in hell before I ever support you for any office in this nation again. I was active for the Clintons in the '90s, but this is so over the top, so divisive, it's repugnant. Hillary, how could you?????

If it's the people she cares about, she'll give up and work to unite the democratic parties. If not, well...I think we all know what she's truly about.

If "hard-working white Americans" support Hillary, does that mean lazy white Americans and hard-working black, Latino and Asian Americans support Obama? This is so much worse than saying someone is bitter! Hillary, I reject AND denounce your sad attempts to exploit racial tensions for your personal gain.

It's now time for the undecided superdelegates to send a loud and clear message to the country that comments like this have no place in the Democratic Party. Endorse Obama now to stop Hillary from doing further damage!

this white female is not voting for you....what do you not see with these race election results ..quit the whining it is getting old.

i think that insanity is starting to sit in ...Hillary please just stop. Just stop..

Disgusting.

I am White, 55, female, the oldest of 8 siblings of immigrant parents, of blue collar workers, all of whom including our college age children are voting for Obama(except for 1 female spouse voting for GENDER preference ONLY is favoring Clinton.) That's 18 votes in our family for Obama, in 4 different states, blue and red.
Another argument is No Democratic President EVER WON the General Election without 90% black vote. Yet often has split the vote of blue collar voters. These voters NOW, are opting for Clinton, but come Nov, will NOT vote McCain, unless they were part of Operation Chaos, or always Republicans anyways.
Barrack has brought out more new first time Young, Black, old, female and male voters than ever before. He has established a new form of raising money, and once people donate to HIS CAUSE, THEIR CAUSE...they do not WALK AWAY.
I have come to the conclusion that Clinton, Rush Limbaugh, and the Media have a problem with the fact of "American first Black President".
Just remember...America and the World is watching.

Her comments are disturbing. Far from reality. White Americans like me, who used to be Clinton supporters, are not buyiing. Nor is anyone I know. Maybe in the racist parts of our country some ignorant soul may fall for that pitch but no educated individual is going to let race be the determining factor in this election.

Hillary is disconencted from the average American and her racist statements just show how desperate she is. We need change and we want change. Hillary is part of the problem not the solution. Hit the road and speak for change and Obama Hillary or you might not get re-elected as Senator.

Yes, Hillary "These are the people you have to win if you're a Democrat in sufficient numbers to actually win the election," she said. "Everybody knows that." It's frightening however for you to think that once the party is unifed "some" maybe not "all" of these voters will cast their ballot for Obama - not unless .... oh, come on you're not that much of a sore loser are you????

Dan J,
Barack never said he was getting 90% of the black vote. The Media did. If Hillary and her supporters can pull their heads out of their own personal holes they might see AND hear what is really going on.

What bloggers need to UNDERSTAND IS THAT Hill HAD close to %40 of the black vote until the Clintons started race baiting and stating that OBAMA will end up like Jesse Jackson. Overnight they lost black support. African Americans have been loyal to the Clintons but felt like their votes were being taken for granted by that race baiting statement

One difference between Hill and OBAMA is that OBAMA would NEVER say that "black America wants me". Why??? Because wants to be a uniter of all races and these tactics are divisive.

She's disgustingly desparate !

First of all what she said is not true. Obama has white support. How does he win Idaho, Kansas, Iowa and all the other majority white states if he doesn't. Even since Ohio, and Penn, Obama has gained white supporters. Hillary is desperate and it's really becoming pathetic. I'm beginning to feel sorry for her. Obama is man enough to take the high road. He has given her a break, because he could've brought out so many things about Bill and Hillary's past, but he didn't because he's trying to unite this country. We just have to let Hillary vent. Obama will inspire us by the way he handles this. God Bless Obama and God Bless America...

Actually, the votes needed to be elected are AMERICAN votes, not black or white votes. How can this be viewed if not trying to put a wedge between races?

So much for bowing out with dignity.

Sen. Clinton If You Have such Strong Support, How come you can't raise enough money to support you canpaign and pay your bills!

I't's Shameful.

Your Supporters, Nothing But Talk From Day One!

Obama Supporters lets continue to give of our time and money!

I mostly resent the fact that she prefaced "white americans" with "working Americans, hard-working Americans." Please, Clinton, stop!

I'm a white female, I don't support Hillary Clinton and would never vote for her, but I think everyone should be offended by the suggestion that somehow "white Americans" are more hardworking than anyone else.

To suggest that african-americans are racist because they vote for Obama based upon is color is absurd. So what are you considerd when one does not vote for Obama because he is black?

Hillary Clinton and Governor Rendell pretty much labled white americans racist. They believe whites will never for a black person. It held true in Pennslyvania so is that a racist state?

To suggest that all african-americans are racist because of the comments of an individual; is racist. What am I a sheep? Because I am black I follow and subscribe to the ideology of every black person in the media?

WOW! So in other words Hillary feels that the American people that voted for her before were under-educated, non-hard working whites Americans. I wonder how she see the Latinos and Asians that voted for her.

By saying most of your supporters were non-hard working and under-educated than the Obama supporters says alot about their candidate also.

Shame on you Hillary!!!! It is all about you. You are such a dissapointment to the Democratic party.

The only legacy that the Clintons had left was the improvement in race relations that occurred during Bill's tenure. The economy tanked as his second term ended. Hillary failed to make any progress on health reform because she is unable to build consensus. Bill's remote control approach to thwarting terrorism, i.e., relying on cruise bombs, led to 9/11. His attempts at fostering peace in the middle east backfired. Both Clintons helped to create the most partisan environment that this country has experienced since the Civil War. But their shining star was race relations. Bill was even touted as the first black president. Well, they just crapped on their last bit of legacy. Hillary is stoking the embers of racism just as George Wallace, David Duke, and so many others have done. Racism is a powerful force, and Hillary is using it well. But race politics are terrible for our country, and it is so disheartening to see such a prominent Democrat playing the race card for personal gain. The reason that the Clintons will leave politics with no meaningful legacy is that they put their own immediate personal gratification above the needs of the country. The Clintons have little in the way of values and are driven strictly by their own wants and ambitions. The Clintons have shown their true colors, and it is time for Americans to send them packing – to do the same to Republicans when they inevitably try the same in the general election.

You guys are silly. I have seen several comments that Black people are the ones that are racist because 90% of them have voted for Obama. Are you serious?????? EVERY single President that we have EVER had has received 100% of the Black vote, the White vote and any other vote. Don't be so short sighted. When Shirley Chisolm ran she DID NOT receive 90% of the Black vote. When Jesse Jackson ran he DID NOT receive 90% of the Black vote. When Al Sharpton ran he DID NOT receive 90% of the Black vote. Your argument that Obama receiving 90% of the Black vote is flawed on EVERY point. Again, EVERY single President we ever had has received 100% of the Black vote.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised....her comments in the past about bringing this party together and totally supporting the Democratic Nominee appear to be about as real as her comments on being under sniper fire in Bosnia.

Who is going to bring the Democrats together? Someone needs to step up.

I'm sickened and shocked at the low esteem in which she must hold all of us regardless of our sex, age, color or education. When all else fails, divide us up, right? It's not going to work this time.

Linda,

Obama had to earn the black vote....orginally blacks voted for Hillary...Black America used to love the Clintons...but now we see them for who they truly are.....

To those quoting the stats of blacks voting for Obama. I challenge you to step back and measure over the past 40 years, what percentage of African Americans have voted for white presidential candidates in the past before you try to to define an entire race as bigots!

Then for those of you who are going to have a pity tantrum and vote for McCain over Obama, when he is the nominee in the fall, then know that you will play a part in overturning Roe v Wade, an undying committment of money and blood to Iraq and a continuing failing economy. This is a guy who says he won't even consider a VP who is pro-choice and knows nothing about the economy.

Get Real – Obama '08

Realy pathetic. I can't believe that I used to really admire the Clintons! I detest them now!

I find it amazing people commenting on the fact that Obama recieved 90% of black vote,when never has Obama went out and and pandered to just one group of people like Hillary has niether has he said african americans want him.How many blacks have the media asked why they were not voting for Hillary.I bet you could not find blacks in the democratic party who do not vote for whites because of race,and you know why.Since blacks have won the right to vote,it has been for white candidates,so your black racism argument does not work.

She is a desperate woman trying anything she can. She and her followers are in a stae of denial.....who would want to vote for a person that agrred to the rules on Michigan and then Florida....and now wants to change them because she knows she cannot win....along with that why would anyone want to vote for a candidate that lies.....Bonia affair,,,,,it seems to run in that family.....Remember,,i did not have sex with that woman.......all i can say...go Barak

Wake up Hillary supporters. She is in this process for herself and her own legacy. She doesn't care about you, me or anyone but herself. Just as the chief priests told Pilate that they have "no king but Caesar", Hillary has no king but her unquenchable thirst for power. She will toss her blue collar friends aside as soon as they are no longer of any use to her.

The U.S. population's racial distribution in 2006 was as follows:

White alone:73.9% or 221.3 million
Black or African American alone: 12.2% or 37.1 million
Asian alone: 4.4% or 13.1 million
American Indian or Alaska Native alone: 0.8% or 2.4 million
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander alone: 0.14% or 0.43 million
Some other race alone: 6.3% or 19.0 million
Two or more races: 2.0% or 6.1 million[18]

So she is saying she has the majority of the white supporters...60% in most states in the majority >50%

To win...unfortuante based on our countries demographics, you need the white vote....

Oh So CNN 97% of Blacks Voting for Obama is not a Problem? Thats Racist to me, you guys try to pick and choose what to report, Thats why if Obama is the nominee, I WILL VOTE JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT! So I could stick it to the DNC , for being so Stupid!!! AND POST THIS PLEASE,

Take a clue from THIS "white American". The only time in my life that I did NOT vote for a Republican presidential candidate was in the Nixon/McGovern contest. That's because by Nixon's second term, I knew Nixon. This year I plan to vote for Obama.

Obama will NOT get all of the high school drop-out redneck vote. So what?
Who cares? That was the old base of the party. Time to turn the page now.
America today is so much more than just those folks. Progressive folks of all colors and intellect who long for real change will vote for him. Wait and see. Whites/browns/blacks/yellows/mixed/young & old people with more than half a brain are going to outnumber the rednecks this time.
Time for all the racists to stand up and be counted, and to come out from the shadows where we can see'em!
-will cnn ever post something of mine?

I am an African living in this country, I am very disappointed by these remarks. I don't think most Americans are as racist as Hillary would like to put it. Americans reward hard work. Americans like honest people. Most Americans hate people who try to play race cards to get something.

Hillary is just a hypocrite. She " people" should be judged by the content of their brains and not the color of their skin, yet she seems to allude that Barak Obama won't go to White House because he is a black man. And why does she feign her love for people like Martin Luther King?

My understanding now is that Hillary wants this nomination because she is a white woman. All her rhetoric about experience and ready on day one are just nonsense. I just wish she said what she said today 14 months ago.

Can Hillary tell us when the U.S. will be ready for a black president so that people like Barak Obama, Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson don't waste their time competing for the presidency.

I am very, very, very, very disappointed. I, however, still think American is a great country.

If they count Florida and Michigan what's stopping some other states from moving up their primaries? Well if the DNC says their votes won't count it doesn't matter, they can just make a big stink about it and get their way. Pathetic.

Hillary's comments are racial and divisive–exactly what she meant them to be. She is now playing to the racist white population of our country. I am white and am voting for Obama so Clinton does not have the entire white vote as she would like you to believe. There are many like me who cannot stand the Clintons and are glad we will soon be rid of them. They will say or do whatever it takes to tear Obama apart. The Clintons are nothing but trash. Goodbye and good riddance.

well, what can you expect from her? she had stated even before the pa primary that she will do anything to win even to the extent of dividing the party and the nation once again by pitting whites against blacks. did you not get the hint about the clintons' true character even before the south carolina primary closed, starting with bill's statement? if you didn't, i guess you're not really paying any attention.

truly sad.

This whiteboy is for Obama all the way...i don't care what a racist bigot power hungry Hillary thinks or says.........................

What is emerging, as Hilary very well knows, is a pattern where those groups which are more likely to be racists or have racist leanings are far more likely to support her. She can spin about the hard working, less educated, and senior citizens but the truth lies elsewhere.

I think one of those bullets she was dodging in Bosnia must have hit her head. She has lost even more whites with her lies and her conniving ways.

She is so sad. I wish she would at least stop the racist remarks (since she stayed married to the "first black president", it doesn't mean anything, other than to show how mean-spirited she is).

Hill......I couldn't agree with you more. You keep stumping. Your party needs you!!!

McCain/Schrute 08

Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, John Edwards and Dianne Feinstein all need to step up and condemn Hillary's racist rhetoric. You need to endorse Obama and put this to bed. Your hanging back is causing the divisiviness that is hurting the party. Step Up!

It's really beyond words that Hilary is running on a "white" platform. I used to be a supporter of Hilary's ... now I wouldn't vote for her even if she won the nomination. Unbelievable.

That's the last straw. Hillary Clinton, once again, plays the race card. When all of this started out many months ago, all of us Democrats were going to bring the country together. Sad indeed! She has demonstrated what critics have said about her and Bill, that is they are, in fact, "Billary" and they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Just as we don't need any more Bushes in the White House, we don't need any more Clintons either.

WOW! The code is broken after all of these months. Who is elitist now? Who is "electable" now? This is 2008, right? Because I just had dreamed that it was 1956 again, and I wasn't born until the late 60s. MLK, JFK, RFK, LBJ and countless others all must be rolling in their graves now.

I hope that those who say they wouldn't vote for Obama will reconsider. Clinton is presuming that "her" block of voters won't vote for Obama because he's black. This is a bare knuckled insult to her own constituency. Obama supporters are happy to welcome any Clinton supporters who have seen a glimpse of truth about HRC following these comments.

They also said noone would vote for Kennedy because he was "just" a first term Senator and Catholic. I have reason to hope...

Obama 08

Actually Hillary, Barack's supporters are much more diverse than yours. When was the last time you actually looked at the majority of people showing up at your rallies?

It's starting to look like a mirror image of the republican party at your events.

HRC can't quit in the Clintonesque scheme of things. If she cannot be the Dem nominee then she must so damage Obama that McCain will win and she can run again in 2012.

If by some twist she accepts the VP spot with Obama, then his life is worth nothing and she and Bill will have the Presidency anyway.

Can you say "Vince Foster"?

how about us brown and asian american people?

OBAMA '08

I had started to feel some sympathy and praise for Hillary because in my mind she proved herself to be a formidble foe and a FIGHTER!!! I liked her "I won't quit spirit" and I was a proponent of her continuing in the race until it was finished because I felt it to be her right, but this is ridiculous and an a low that I never thought that she would sink to.

Barack did not say that he has 90% of the AA vote went for him. He is not quoting polls or stats that suggest it. He is still calling for not a white America, not a Black America, red or brown America or even a Democrat or Republican America, but a United States of America.

To be truthful, though slim, until this enormous racist remark, I thought Hillary might be able to convince the superdelegates of her "electability", but this, this horrible low, insulting remark will only serve to prove that she is a divisive candidate that will not only divide the Democratic Party, but the country.

Shame on you Hillary. You are much too smart, with much too much talent and grit going for you to stoop to this level. Shame on you.

Nothing short of disgusting...do the superdelegates need any further convincing that Hillary is the WRONG candidate for the Democratic Party in November?

Interesting perspectives considering that he's winning. He couldn't be winning the number of states, delegates and popular vote if he didn't have the support of some White american's. It's been noted that latino support is not that strong, and African American's are barely more than 10% of the population. If he doesn't have any White Support, how is he leading?

I've really lost alot of respect for Hillary during the past few weeks. It's really sad to see what the lust for power has done to her.

Does she really believe that he can't win because he's black?

Patience Obama supporters. Give her enough rope and...........
Well, you know the rest. I really believe the woman is psychotic.
Come on Delegates. What are you waiting for? Shut her down and lets get on with the real election.
Obama '08

Clinton is right without the white vote Obama can't win the general if he is the nominee. Reagen Dem., blue collar white workers, independents, and the elderly will have a tough time pulling the lever for Obama. They might go to McCain so it not being racist its the truth. The other truth is Clinton can win the general without most of the AA vote and 3/4 of the young vote. This is Obama's strongest base right now since he lost alot of the white vote in the past primaries. Obama still has to make his case to the typical white person why he should be President.

More desperate attempts by Hillary to sway the superdelegates. Her indifference to the good of the Democratic party is appalling. She keeps playing the race card to the detriment of the party.

She was considered devisive by Republicans before this campaign. Her actions are increasingly devisive to the Democrats. The party has far too many diverse groups to weather this sort of tactic.

If she is suucessful in convincing superdelagates to ignore the will of the majority the Democratic party could very easily lose the election to a moderate, aisle crossing Republican...

These type of hateful comments are the things that America needs to eliminate. What an shameful thing to say. What the world needs is Love and understanding not statistics and stereotypes.

Also, Glenn Beck if you are reading this, I like you and what you have to say (most of the time) but seriously there are more important things to talk about on your radio show then what you drive and how you are annoyed with Obama's accent. Seriously!

Also, if you want to continue to slam Obama then make that far game; slam some of the stupid ideas from the other candidates. Gas tax holiday HA that is a band aid if I've ever seen one, or how about these racist comments? Or how about the nice comments about how Obama supporters are idiots and are just in love with Obama's empty words? Ahh how about this one "the Free Market will fix everything" B.S. the free market is not going to fix the Medical situation, where I spend $25 dollars for 4 xrays at Patient First then get charged $600 plus from the hospital for the SAME xrays!?!?

Beck don't be biased, very unbecoming.

Obama '08, For Change

Hillary STOP IT !!!!!

If you won by 40 points in all the remaining races you still cannot over come Obama's delegate count. You have not won by 20 points in any of the races to date. So da .. is there a reasonable chance NO !!

If you try to buy the win by pressuring old school superdelegates under the guise that some how you are more electible – this flies against the will of the people who by delegate count and otherwsie support Obama. I can say, that if that happened , why then do we vote period when it would in that case not mean a thing. Further, we are all brought up to respect rules, rules of law and otherwise, why then would the Democratic party allow you to break the rules (Florida etc.)that you originally agreed too. subjecting the Democratic party to total disgrace for their inability to stand by their own rules.

WAKE UP hILLARY DO THE RIGHT THING, GET OUT OF THE WAY ..................

Again Hillary is playing the race card and she exaggerates
her support among whites. I am white. Most of the Obama
volunteers in my home county are white, the county itself
is very white (we line in the Rocky Mountains) and yet my county
voted by a margin of 3 to 1 for Barack Obama. My state of Colorado
voted by a 2 to 1 margin in favor of Obama.

Again Hillary is being a divisive figure and is unworthy and unable to be the Democratic Party nominee.

I'm a white male from Texas in his 20's and I support Obama. I'm sickened by the divisive pandering to "women" and "whites". Sure Obama has captured the black vote. It is the first time in American history that there has been an opportunity of this magnitude available to people of color. There has never been a woman as president and I hope that someday we see one. However, HRC is not the answer. I would find it equally divisive if Obama came out tomorrow touting the only votes that count are from black men. It's sad that our country has progressed so little.

Here she is, giving the Republicans more amunition. I think her statement is outrageous and shows how she thrives on being negative. Surely the Superdelegates will now all step in and say "enough"??? By the way, I am a white American.

she win's the big states and as for her being rascist are you people kidding all her political life she and bill have tryed to help afro american's and thats the thanks she get's almost everyone black voter voted for obama if that is not rascist what is? turn it around cry's of white's being rascist would be heard around the world i for 1 will be sending cash next week as i only recieve pogy but that lady needs fianancial help? it's time? as it's been proven? to help your own? they have proven that ? hillary you are a fighter and fighters don't quit. obama is terrified of superdelagates knowing that with obama they can't and won't win . but with you hillary all systems are go you know your going to look great again on the Whitehouse steps . God bless our troop's heroes each and everyone

One more thing - why doesn't she just come out and say she thinks that the ignorant racist bigot vote cannot be ignored and that she is the only one who can win it? She doesn't say this truth because it is disgusting. I have more faith in democrats than she does, even older and more provincial democrats who are still struggling with their ingrained stereotypes of minorities, and have little doubt that they will unite behind Obama and overcome ignorant bigotry and discrimination when the alternative is to vote for more dismal, backward-thinking, visionless conservative policies.

After that comment, Hilary, this WHITE man has no interest in YOU being our President!

I am beyond angry at this point. Paul in Oregon is dead on right: it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for this carpetbagging liar. Why doesn't she come out and say it, you know she thinks it: a black man can't be elected. I'd advise her to consider the results of the primaries and caucuses. Not getting white votes? Who exactly voted for Obama in Idaho? Minnesota? Colorado? NOT bastions of the black race in America. And I'm sick of the media concentrating on race as the defining feature of the campaign. It's not race. It's racism. And the Clinton's are driving it. Get out. And don't come back to NY...go back to Arkansas...

Hillary told the truth obama has to many things against him Wright and all rhe rest How can he say he didnt know what his pastor was about. he is not being honest. why did he uninvite himtoc his annoucment and he will also divide the country he needs to let people know more about himself he is saying what is policilly correct. he scares me

For those who were in denial, I think this shows where the race card really came from.

This sounds like an attempt to bring race back into this campaign. I hope the Obama campaign doesn't take the bait. Lets stick to the issues, please!

They are so busy fighting each other, nobody is talking about how Geriatric John McCain was speaking into the wrong side of the microphone during a recent speech!

Truly outrageous...of course, the Clinton's will stop at nothing in trying to secure the nomination...

Count me as another "whitey" for Obama...and proud of it!

well, when you tell everyone he is a racist, that's what happens. Let's not pretend you had nothing to do with it, Hillary.

Also, why is it no one in the press pointed out that Rev Wright said 'g.d. America' not 'g.d. Whites?' AMERICA ISN'T JUST WHITE!

He was speaking to the AMERICANS in his congregation as well.

Based on these comments, her true colors are now showing. This is very upsetting that she would even suggest this based on the demographics of the united states.

Blacks only make up 12.7 percentage of the US population. Obama has more support of whites, blacks, Asians, and Hispanics for him to have these numbers.

Open your eyes Hillary. You need to get out instead of stirring up racial tension in the democratic party.

This is the lowest that I've ever heard form a presidential candidate!!

I am a 50 year old WHITE ITALAIN woman, graduated GED and worked my butt of raising three children, during the Clinton/Bush years and I voted absentee for BARACK OBAMA .... because I want my children and now granchildren to have a better life than I give them during those adminstrative years......

Yes...We..Can....

Why is it okay to say Barrack has the majority of the black vote, but if you mention Hillary getting any of the white vote than you are a racists. I love how people that post comments state they are white or female or a Republican that will vote for Barrack. I am a black muslim women and I am voting for McCain. I have learned that there is a lot of hate and guilt in the demorcatic party.

Even is this shows to be true, this is something you dont say, you let the numbers speak for themselves. Lets flip this...traditionally the most consistent block of democratic voters in my lifetime have been african-americans, and Hillary can't carry them. If they dont vote in November she has no chance. Her "white american" base wnt carry her to a victory, and she is certainly alienating whatever african-american support she could muster.

Wow Senator Clinton- Shame on YOU! I want to see how much media attention she'll get b/c Obama got lots of attention for the "bitter" statement. I hope they cover this for the next 2 weeks. I'm so tired of her. She needs to bow out, no longer gracefully b/c she messed up with this statement....

What ever happened to the notion that "Bill Clinton" was America's first black president. I must say that I am totally amazed at what is emerging now that the "Real Clinton's have arrived! I never would have imagined that Hillary would have stooped so low – Shame on you Hillary! You just lost me. Anyway, thanks for taking the mask off.

This is clearly an under-the-belt and desperate political attack on Senator Obama (all done in an attempt to swing superdelegates).

The Clinton legacy among African-American supporters is slowly but surely being ruined – at least it is for me.

The only pattern that is emerging Mrs. Clinton is a spirit of oppression and racism that has been around for decades. The is what SOME Americans cannot shake and Mrs. Clinton for trying to capitalize on this...SHAME!

So now Hillary is going to try scare tactics. I'm white, educated and would definately vote for Obama before I would vote for Hillary. Not because she is a woman, but because she is Hillary Clinton. Wake up people........

Look at the type of divisive tactics that this woman resorts too in the face of defeat! She can't win, so she is going to try and take the democratic party and Obama with her in a blaze of self glory. She cannot win, so now all she wants to do as make sure Obama loses so she can say "I told you so". She is going to continue to say this and hopes that it sticks in the minds of everyone just like her claims of experience and how she opposed NAFTA. She is following up on the defeated comments from Rush Limbaugh that came out yesterday. It says a lot when someone starts quoting and following the lead of an addict like Limbaugh! America, don't be distracted. Vote with your wallets.

Still waiting for an intelligent comment from Texas.

USA Constitution:

"EVERY CITIZEN HAS EQUAL RIGHTS"

Clinton Constitution:

"Senior Vote has more right than youth vote; White Blue-Collar vote has more right than black vote; Graduate/post-graduate Votes have NO right"

If Obama has more votes than Clinton, in democracy he wins
If Clinton has more votes than Obama, in democracy she wins

STOP FIGHTING... Respect Democracy and value EQUAL RIGHTS

I am a white woman and will not vote Hillary! Not just because of this comment, but many other reasons. However, this comment does seem to be blown a little out of hand. Obama has most of the black vote and no one seems to be making a huge deal out of that. I do think Hillary needs to drop out. She is not making herself look any better as time goes by and she needs to face reality that she will not get the nomination.

Fact: Senator Clinton has gotten more of the blue collar white vote.

Fact: She has gotten more of the older white vote especially older white female.

They are a voting blocks that are strong supporters of hers, however, does she really mean to say, "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"

Does this mean, that the only hard working Americans are the white blue collar voters? There are no hard working African American, Latino, or Asian American? Huh? This is extremely unfortunate.

And black americans are not "hard working?" As a white american I am completely offended by this new, desparate and dishonest ploy. This is the last nail in her coffin I think and Billary will lose a lot of white america based on this kind of talk. What is she thinking?

KKK Endorse Hillary, vote Clinton, vote white supremacy. What an idiot!!

Might just be a case of reverse psychology. She "takes one for the team" and says something so outrageous, that it forces her base to shift to Obama. It gives him momentum in states he should not have won and gives him the appearance of going into the convention strong among his new found base. She quietly steps back, gets her debts retired and is able to retire knowing that she has ensured the Obama gets what he needs in order to stop McCain.

How scared would McCain be if Obama swung West Va and Kentucky by good numbers and was able to use it as a springboard to reach out to Hillary's base? It would SEVERELY cut into his target demographics and put him behind the eight ball in terms of media coverage and momentum.

This one might not be as it appears folks....

Setting aside for the moment the racially divisive aspect of this analysis, it is meaningless to talk about the "white vote" for Senator Clinton without at the same time identifying what percentage of those white voters were women and where they fell in the age categories.

It's not the white vote Clinton is winning, it's the female vote above a certain age. The Democratic Party has been losing the white male vote for decades, so by definition, the white Democratic vote is majority female and in the states such as Pennsylvania, Clinton gets a higher percentage because the white female population is older in that state.

If she concedes graciously with a message of celebration of how far women have come as symbolized by her campaign and encouragement and hope and get's behind Obama, I guarantee the overwhelming majority of Clinton's white female voters will vote for Obama in the general, particularly once McCain's position on appointments to the Supreme Court get adequate coverage.

PLEASE DON'T CALL CLINTON'S STATEMENTS RACIST, IT'S NO MORE THAN POLITICAL PANDERING TO SKIP AROUND THE (FACT): BLACKS DO NOT MAKE UP A LARGE POPULATION IN THE U.S. SO YOU DO THAT MATH. HILLARY IS NOT SPEAKING TO BLACK VOTERS, SHE'S IS SPEAKING TO THE LARGE POPULATION OF WHITE VOTERS THAT SUPPORT OBAMA. CASE CLOSED.

Well this is one "white American" who backs Obama!!!

My choices for President...

1. Barack Obama
2. John McCain
3. Anyone but Hillary Clinton!

Ms. Clinton's comment.."working, hardworking,..white Americans"is straight fromthe 1950s KKK handbook. Beyond offensive to millions of black Americans, immigrants, college-educated Americans. Inexcusible display of racist bias. Hillary just disclosed her true self..she must go rapidly. If Obama had uttered such a filthy line you all would have immediately stripped him of all delegates. Ugly, offensive, beyond words.

The funny thing is many black americans don't have a problem with what she said. It is not the black folks who are saying this is race baiting. From readin the comments the majority of these statements are coming from other white americans

I support Hillary, but really, probably not the best comment to make.

I'm a white jewish girl from Florida and I definitely do not want her.

Hillary Clinton is even more disgusting than I thought. Obama treats her with the respect she doesn't deserve, but she'll sat or do anything – a desperate woman!! She truly is dispicable!!

The only pattern that is emerging, Hillary, is that you are a SORE LOSER who is too delusional to DROP OUT.

I have no respect for Hillary after this comment.

Signed,

Highly Educated Non-White Woman who Would Never Vote for Hillary

Obama '08/12

In ref. to concerned:
I am a devoted democrat so I will vote democratic; unfortunetly I have family members who refuse to for BO.
I hate it, an it drives me crazy, as I don't know how to make them realize that no matter what we need a democrat in office to help get our country back on the right track.
This is very disturbing to me.

I want to bring a relative issue to light. I agree that Clinton's latest comments are divisive and desperate, but I'm wondering why it was okay for people to openly say, "Well, Obama will win NC decidely because of its large black population."

Flip that for a second and say, "Hillary will win Pennsylvania handily because of its large white population."

The second one would never be said on the record, yet the first one is said all of the time.

No doubt the Clinton campaign used a similar rationale internally to justify her recent statement.

"there's a pattern here" Yeah a racist pattern. If he loses it will be her fault. She stoops so low have power. Reminds me of BUSH!

Hillary just showed (again) she is not fit to lead this country. Drop out already!

The Republicans should put Hillary on their payroll. (maybe they already have) She is doing more to hurt the Democrats than any Republican could do. Thank goodness.

Hey Neil, Hillary never said " she is the candidate for white-America"...she's not my candidate either, but don't make her out to be a racist, that's just wrong

Yes, there is a pattern emerging in this primary.

People who do not have a college education are voting for Clinton; people who do have a college education are voting for Obama.

College teaches a person how to research and think about various issues before making a decision. It has nothing to do with race, religion, age or socio-economic status. It has to do with the higher level of thinking and analyzing that is taught at college. It is frustrating to see a college education being turned into something that is bad or "elitist"; being educated is a good thing and so is making wise and thought-out decisions concerning your choice for a presidential candidate.

We will vote for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA not for the DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA... !

Black voters overwhelmingly supported the Clintons, voting for them in the Presidential and Senatorial elections in the same 9 to 1 ratio that Obama has received recently. Some of Hillary's strongest supporters continue to be African American and she began the primaries as the strong favorite of black voters.

Now, for the words to come out of her mouth not only blatantly playing the race card, but essentially equating " working, hard-working Americans," with only white Americans is the final straw.

Has she forgotten about all those "support among working, hard-working Americans," who are black and Latino who will remember this when she comes up for re-election.

I, for one, am a white American in total support of Obama. He is the only candidate in either party which brings hope to America. McCain in the White House just means more enconomic instability and a prolonged war. Clinton in the White House spells utter and complete disaster. No candidate is perfect, but the "imperfect" Obama is our hope.

Clinton doesn't even know how to keep her stories straight. How can she run the country. Her old politics and utter lies will lead us down the path of destruction.

Shirley from Austin

This is so sad since I was trying to look past some of Hillary's negative ad attacks and think her approach was of no ill will. This is over the top. So if this does not get more focus on being racist and non American then how the media portrayed Rev Wright who is not running for President, then the media is as stained and biased as Hillary.

I'm sorry Judy but this is one of the most ignorant statement I've ever read.*************Hillary is correct, the white people want her. And the only reason that the black people are voting for Obama is because is a a black man that has a chance at being the first black president. I will never vote for him.***********
You don't know why the black community is voting for Obama. There may be some who are voting because of his color, but I highly doubt and hope that they are not in the majority. You should vote for the candidtate with whom you believe in their views and plans. In the begining of this race Clinton was doing well in the black community , but through her actions she lost their support. Regaurdless of who the nominee is if your a democrat you should support them because their view are more alike than the other major party has to offer.

I'm a white jewish girl from Florida and I definitely do not want her.

It's the black people who voted all-out in Indiana and North Carolina! South Bend is the arm-pit of America/east Chicago and they've never had voters all-out like they did on Tuesday for their "black candidate!' They're only voting for him because he's black. They know nothing of what he represents .. umm Muslim and that his middle name is Hussein..or all the lies he's told. His wife's even a racist. Let's not get into his "Preacher." ......using that term loosely. Barak obviously believes in what that whacko preaches and practices it too.
The biggest racists I've ever met are Blacks who can't forget, even though it wasn't my mom, dad, grandpa, or even great-grandpa that had anything to do with slavery! But they don't forget. The only more racist people I've ever met are Navajo Indian, who also can't forget and hate the "white man." I , for one, am sick of being blamed for my forefathers deeds!!!!
Who's racist here???? It's not the white people! We give and give and give and still get called racist.
GO HILLARY!

The point is...why is she still talking and to whom is she still talking to?

She is mathematically out of the race.
She is losing her support from the Super D's.

There is no other reason to make this statement than to destroy Obama's chances in November and try in 2012.

Wow....sad to think so many people support this woman.

Everyone keeps citing how Barack has won 80 to 90% of the Black vote and are calling us racist for voting for him. How quickly all of you have forgotten that Hillary was winning almost 40% of the Black vote initially until the South Carolina primary. How quickly people forget that New Hampshire and Vermont are almost totally white and Barak was able to win these primaries.

To be certain, there are some who are voting for Barack solely based on him being African-American just as there are some women voting for Hillary solely based on her being a woman or white. That being said, we can not continue with the politics of division. We are tearing our own party apart and we have not even started dealing with the bigger issue – McSame!

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM . AND FOR ALL OF YOU IGNORANT VOTERS WHOM HAVE KEPT HER IN THE RACVE THIS LONG SHE HAS TURNED HER BACK ON YOU. NOW I BET YOU WISH YOU WOULD NOT HAVE VOTED FOR HER. HER TRUE COLORS ARE COMING OUT."KODAK MOMENT" LETS SEE HOW THE MEDIA BLASTS THIS.

CNN= CLINTON NEWS NETWORK

HOW MUCH STOCK DOES SHE HAVE INVESTED IN YOU?

GOTTA LOVE KEITH OLBERMAN

FOX LOOKING REAL GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

Dear educated Hillary supporters:

Oh, I'm sorry...

NOT ALL WHITES OR OLDER WHITES LIKE HILARY!! I'm 80 and I'm white and Obama has been my choice from the day he announced he wasa running! My whole family, kids, grand kids, sisters are all for him. He will help my dream, to leave this country better than I found it!

Clinton is right without the white vote Obama can't win the general if he is the nominee. Reagen Dem., blue collar white workers, independents, and the elderly will have a tough time pulling the lever for Obama. They might go to McCain so it not being racist its the truth. The other truth is Clinton can win the general without most of the AA vote and 3/4 of the young vote. This is Obama's strongest base right now since he lost alot of the white vote in the past primaries. Obama still has to make his case to the typical white person why he should be President.

This proves how desperate Clinton is this late in the primary season. Her comments are ridiculous, since I am white & I have not heard anything Sen. Obama has said to change my mind on supporting him.

Oh my, I have had enough!

she is a white racist, rich little monster.

who does she think she is? go away for good. you don't even deserve to live in this country let alone run for office.

obama 08

*looking at my own skin* Huh, I look white... and I voted for Obama... isn't that strange?

What a disgusting, racist comment!

The sad fact is that Obama cannot win the election without the support of a certain category of white voters in swing states. That sad fact is not due to anything Sen. Clinton has said or done. It has been true in recent elections and that has cost the Dems. If Obama cannot get those votes, we get another four years of a Republican president. There is nothing racist about identifying this reality. His overwhelming wins in primaries such as SC and NC are not harbingers of victory there in the general election. I see many comments here about her dividing the party, etc. If Obama loses in the fall, it will not be Hillary's fault. The demographics are what they are and the votes of the young, the educated, and African Americans are not enough to elect a president. If Obama gets the delegates, he gets the nomination. I will certainly vote for him. However, his supporters need a reality check to understand that he has to carry states to win and a look at the map will show a different reality from the Democatic primaries.

I had mentioned this before. This potentially points to her plan-B. She is likely ensuring that Obama gets the nomination but loses the general election so that she is back in 4 years.

Though I personally don't think this to be a race card, but I can not imagine that she is not aware of the perception it will create with the Super delegates. She can not reasonably expect this to go well with much of the party leaders. Hence my conclusion is that her intent here is not to secure the nomination, but to weaken Obama to come back in 4 years.

Actually what she says isn't true. She's never had the support of this white American and she never will.

I'm hoping the remarks she's making are being heard by Pelosi and the rest of the DNC. Hillary Clinton is a horrible woman with delusions of grander and dreams of outright dictatorship. Please stop her now.

Obama 2008

My whole family and I 're for Obama...Guess what...we 're white...

This comment hurts Senator Clinton more than it helps her. Now she has taken "doing anything to win" too far.

Obama is not for the white people of America. Sure he places some behind him when he speaks, but that is planned to make him look better. Please wake up Americans.

Question for any of your respondents: What did we call "racist black voters" who voted in the same percentages as they now vote for Obama when they supported Clinton, Carter, Kennedy, etc. Another interesting note is that traditionally black voters had unconditionally
supported Republicans. What did we call them then? Can't have it both ways my name-calling.....92% vote counting friends.

I am a 70 year old plus white woman who has seen Hillary spin and spin the truth. Obama is gaining a higher percentage of white votes in each major state as people get to know him. I am ashamed of those of my sex who feel the need to have a woman president of the US before they die and ignore what THIS woman is doing in order to get the nomination. Shame on her and shame on them.

Enough Already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing you racist people on here have on Obama is what other people that know him have done or said.....You all have nothing on him...face it ....

To Linda:

You're wrong. Blacks are not more racist than whites. We're equally racist. The only problem is that, since whites outnumber blacks 8 to 1, so whites get called on it more often.

If there were equal numbers of black and white, and if all blacks and whites were racist, we would still have equality. But unfortunately, that's not the case.

I sympathize with whites because of this. You get slammed for being racist, while we don't.

But on the other hand, since you outnumber us, we consistently get the short end of the stick.

Another note: When was the last time you saw a black voter who would NEVER vote for a white person? Never, because that was their only choice!

Try to put yourselves in our shoes: Imagine that blacks had the majority, and only black people ran for president. And then, out of nowhere, a viable white candidate came along. What would you do?

Clinton shoud be touting her NON-SUPPORT from BLACK AMERICANS. She has managed to lose the support of an entire voting bloc and if she keeps it up, she'll lose Hispanics too! White will be the miniority pretty soon! She needs to stop this crap!

My God, she has decided to deploy racist rhetoric in a bid to gain the nomination......... Jesus Wept!

Hillary will definitely have a place in American history – alongside Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, Strom Thurmond and George Wallace. Unlike Faubus et al., Clinton has been allowed by certain segments of the media to play the race card with virtual impunity. She, her husband and their campaign strategists, NOT the Obama camp, are responsible for injecting what should be a non-issue (race) into the campaign. If African-American voters are voting over 90% for Obama, it is largely because Mrs. Clinton has alienated so many of them who might otherwise have supported her. As for Obama's 'failure' to win white votes, it is worth noting that many white Republicans voted in the Democratic primaries and gave Clinton's campaign a boost. With very few exceptions, they are not a group that would be likely to vote for a black candidate under any circumstances. If Obama has a problem winning over white Democrats, the problem is not of his own making. It is largely the result of Mrs. Clinton and her ilk picking at the wounds of racial division that many in the Democratic Party had tried so hard to heal. Rather than bow out gracefully and with any semblance of dignity in tact, she has chosen to take the low road and to end her campaign on a bitter note. It is tragic that a woman who showed so much political promise will very likely end her pursuit of the Presidency with a legacy of racial and social division to haunt her.

Interesting.... When Hillary says that she can get the white vote, it is racist. Yet, Obama is getiing 90% of the black vote, and it is OK. The liberal and democrats double standards is what is dividing the party. If it is OK for one, it should be OK for all.

I don't care for Clinton from the lies when her hubby won and think Barack doesn't have enough background. Although to me that's a plus.

Here's the deal. No matter who wins, they will not put a woman or a black in the white house. So, the Dem party just shot itself in the foot and guaranteed a loss.

If there would have been ANYONE else, I think dems would have won it. With these two, they are guaranteeing a Republican.

My initial comment was going to be that there is another "white" party she could join, the Klan. But then as I became more thoughtful I realized just how disconnected Hillary has become. Her ambition (as well as Bill's) is just so complete and misguided. She is on the verge of losing all her respectability. She will probably never be taken seriously in American politics again. New York would be wise to remove her in the next senatorial election.

truth is, you need to put Obama in his rightful place in the back of the bus.

i'll light up a cross for you; jus' keep the flames a burnin' on the home front

If she's the only one getting the white vote, then I guess we'd better officially label whites as the minority, because Obama is not just pulling in the black vote. He couldn't be in the lead with just the black vote.

Does she not see the ignorance of that statement?

Clinton isn't that powerful, nor the media for that matter.

It's up to each and every individual to think for themselves, not buy into all the hype, but look at the hype for what it is–what it's intended to do.

Okay, so when 90% of Black Americans voted for Bill Clinton, were we being racist then? When Black Americans voted for all of the other White presidential candidates that we were allowed to vote for, were we being racist then? No, we Black Americans can't look at a candidates policies and ability to bring people together. We only look at the fact that Barack is half Black.

Give me a freakin' (and you know what word I really wanted to put here) break!

I was open to either Hillary or Barack being the Democratic presidential nominee because many of their policies are very similar, but since she doesn't want or need my Black vote, good luck to her because she won't be getting it if she is the Democratic presidential nominee.

I have great respect for Sen Clinton but im a little disappointed she made these comments

Hillary,
You're running out of money, credibility, and time. Write your concession speech and lets move on.

Dissappointed Observer

Wow, I thought you were all Americans. Not only are you now divided by race, you now get to be labeled as "educated" or "uneducated". Not sure why people can make similar comments and one is just telling the truth and the other is a racist bigot. While she may not have intended the comment to be racist..... it sure as heck was about as elitist as they come. I wonder does she really want to convey that she thinks that her demographic is dumb white people?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier....there she goes.

She has no business dealing with foreign heads of state.

WOW, how in the world is she getting away with saying this? First of all, Black Americans are not hard working? Second, can she not see that Obama is getting the white vote as well? Third, what in the world...wow, I'm furious! I hope the media gives her the beating over this that she deserves, please Clinton News Network, don't just let her get away with this.

Wow.

Still in shock.

WHY DO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WITH MILLIONS IN THE BANK BACK OBAMA?THATS THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!
________________________
Power and Greed.

They want someone they can CONTROL.

OBAMA Is too GREEN. Needs more Experience out of all Three Yahoos. Think! Kinda of feel sorry for him in a way...he has no idea what these people are like...they may even dare I say it 'terminate' him. Hillary is a networker...she loves it. KNOWS the right people and loves to PULL the STRINGS. McCain...he is won of those guys who has been around TOO long...Knows the System...that's the problem...will he do what is RIGHT!

If Obama would win, will they call it "The Brown House"?

Although it was record-breaking turn out, only 38% of the population voted in NC.

If he gets the nomination, McCain is a shoo-in and the republicans know it.

one more thing – that's her experience, OLD SCHOOL POLITICS.

It doesn't work and it's not what we want.

Like Phil G in NY – I'm sick of hearing about these elected officials telling each other what we the people want without checking with us first.

i am a singel 48 year old WHITE female and i will never support clinton in part for remarks like these. Neither will my parents. this type of devisive politics the "old" way is disgusting.

African Americans are NOT voting for Obama only because he's black.
Blacks have been loyal to the democratic party since forever.
Obama is the better candidate period! I don't care if he was purple with spots. We've had the Clinton's in the white house already. I'm tired of being lied to by them. Its time to give someone else a chance.

Poorly educated white people prefer me! Is this the base Clinton is courting or all she has left? Is she really suggesting that the Dumb and Dumber vote is the key to the White House?

Grasping at [white] straws.

Why do we care what she says? She will lose anyway. She's desperate, so she will say anything at an attempt to get ahead.

ALL RACES MAKE UP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

Hillary, are you saying that we, the African Americans voters are not important? Ump, and folks are upset with Rev. Wright!!!!

The only white people that have a problem with what has been said in this primary season is the truly racist white people who feel they need to repent for their sins. I am NOT racist and won't let racist or nonracist people blame me for their reason for hating white people (black people) or saying Hillary and her supporters are racist for even mention race in this country (white people). Furthermore, they should feel ashamed that they even let racist division continue in this country. You should watch your word when you start calling someone racist...it’s the equivalent to calling someone a rapist or any other disparaging remark.

If Dem's counted delegates the way the GOP does, Hillary would be over 400 ahead and the primary season would be history with BO out. Winning delegates in states that will never vote Democratic in the general election should not weigh as heavy as the important states that are traditionally Democratic that BO stands to lose in the general election. This looks like McGovern all over again.

NOW... no one can tell me she is not going scorched earth on this one. Unbelievable. I am ashamed of her. You Never ever hear Obama saying stuff like "Hillary can't win the black vote" even though he overwhelming wins it. And truth be told she could have because she was actually way ahead of him with the black vote when all of this started and Bill went racial in SC and that started the train rolling.

Where does she come up with this stuff? Here is one white American who never thought he would vote for black man – and I support Barack Obama!

Why don't these stories ever talk about WhiteWater, TATA Consulting, the looting of the White House and Air Force One, the sale of presidential pardons, or a guy named Peter Paul?

Why are white blue collar workers always referred to as "hard workers"? Are college educated highly compensated Americans just loafing around, wasting their time in the library?

So what does it say about her platform if she needs the "goober" vote to get elected? I didn't get my degree or six figure income in a raffle, and I'm smart enough not to vote for Hillary.

Keep running Hillary. Every day, you make yourself less viable as a potential VP candidate. Keep it up so we won’t have to worry about you claiming that you are entitled to a spot on the ticket.

“support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again.”. Say what!? So what, in your opinion, does that make African-American workers? Are they not also “working, hard-working Americans”?

“and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me”

Even if true, it seems as though that demographic would be supporting Republicans in the general election, not Democrats.

Hillary, when you do not base your statements in the truth, or in a principle you really believe in; you have what your campaign has become: a stream-of-consciousness, say what sounds good right now, and say something different tomorrow, type campaign. That is no way to win a presidency; or to run it.

Speaking truth to power. Isn't that what Obama wants? Is she wrong? Have you guys looked at the numbers?

We all know Obama is going to get the nomination, and those of us with our heads still at the top of our bodies and not suck up our other regions, know we lose in the GE.

We had our chance, and we blew it.

It's going to be really hard for old, bitter, uneducated Democrats like me to be motivated to even go vote for Obama while his cult continues to call us and our candiate names. We're certainly not going to be motivated to work for or donate to him like we would a candidate who shows us at least some respect.

Obamanuts, enjoy your small victories while you can. I don't think your re going to get a big one.

We need you Rev. Wright!!!!

.......let he who stands becareful, lest he falls. He who is on the ground needs to fear no fall.
HRC is on the ground and would stop at nothing to bring Obama down, Democrats need to come together under one umbrella to beat Republicans

By the way, those of you that keeping saying stuff like "she's acting like a Republican", "he's doing Republican things", etc...you can stop since Republicans are and will be a lot more respectful than this. Simply put, I think the behavior of Democrats (both candidates and their supporters as evidenced in blog comments) has set a new bar for disrespectful, petty behavior. Get over yourselves.

After all she made it acceptable for racists in Pennsylvania to admit they "aren't ready" to vote for a Black President. Not all black voters voted for Obama and not all hard-working white voters voted for Hillary. If this is how she envisions our Democratic Party , then lets start a new one that really includes everyone. I hope the party stars end this nonsense.

I am calling the dnc and insisting they admonish this statement.
I can't believe anyone would think this is okay for her to say such a thing.This is not the same as black voters mostly voting for Obama.He's never said that she can't get or wouldn't get the black vote in Novemer were she the nominee.
Also,she was getting the black vote earlier.She just lost it.
And Obama has won states that were mostly white.
The Clinton's are done in my book.
Her behavior is beyond repulsive.

I am ashamed that I once held Hillary and Bill Clinton in high regard.
Her latest comment proves that she is not one bit UP TO THE TASK of running this country. She is a liar, a bigot and soon to become a has been. She could have ended her campaign on a high note and gone back to the Senate and probably become the Majority Leader...her latest comment makes you wonder how she will be received when she does go back.

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON, YOU HAVE BEEN A FRAUD ALL THESE YEARS.

Shame on Hillary.

These comments are beyond offensive. I am white and could never support you. this is not the jim crow era hillary, this is 2008 and we are trying to turn a new page here. Your comments not only further reflect how little you want to change this country, but also show a deeply rooted feeling of superiority over minorities and senator obama. He beat you and followed all the rules in doing so. live with it and quit. it's getting pathetic and i'm sure these comments will further send you on your path.

Hillary is a strong canidate with millons of supporters. Barack is just a stronger canidate with more supporters. I feel that the majority of her supperters will still vote for him in November. Only the spoiled little brats will switch party's. If you look at the turnouts for the primaries, the Democrats had millions more votes than Republicans. So the small group that wants to switch, go right ahead. It won't matter. BARACK WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. People are acting like he dosen't get support from white and latin americans. If this was the case, he wouldn't have the lead in the popular vote. He has support in every single demograhic in the U.S. It will only get stronger as time goes by.

What really gets under my skin is that, people have fought and died in order for every american (black,white, male, female) to have a chance to vote. This is how re-pay them. If you will use your vote out of spite, you need to take a long hard look in the mirror, and ask youself how much do you really love your country?

I have never made an comment until now since the election started, but I am inclined to do so. Why is it that whites that votes for whites are seen not racist at all . Blacks have been the backbone of the democratic party ever since I can remmember. Black have supported white democratic nominees for years. Now they are voting for Barack there racist. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!! If Obama was in Hillary position he would have been forced to throw in the towel along time ago. He stand and represents change. African American have been wanting change for years and his message anchors to their struggle for an better America and Hillary does not PERIOD!!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN

Where is Rev Wright when Hilary needs him most!

hillary's racist behavior is unbelievable.

I can't deal with this any more. As a black man, I am saddened. Why not come out and just say that the 40% of whites that supported Barack don't matter and that the 60% that supported her would prefer McCain over Obama? Does she really believe that those "democrats" will choose a Bush third term over Obama?

RACIST.

I am EVEN more energized to make Obama the next president. I don't care I have to knock on a million doors on his behalf.

Sorry, but it's true. It's Obamas fault. He tried to play both sides & got caught. Obamaites need to wake up! This guy is not who you think he is. There is so much dirt on him that you are not aware of. He will NEVER beat McCain. You people need to read/watch all media. Not just the ones that agree with you. Very dangerous.

Is there any low point to which Clinton will not stoop? I'm caucasian, female and 60 years old. From the beginning, I have been sure that I would not vote for Clinton NO MATTER WHAT because we do not need more grid lock, business as usual, tit for tat politics. It is time to start voting to what a candidate stands for, not gender or race.

Not only is this the most blatantly racist comment she has made in this campaign, but considering the fact that the overwhelming majority of people who have voted for Obama have been white, it is also a completely false statement.

By the way, doesn't it seem she was implying that 'hard working americans' are white americans? She should get roasted over the fire for this one.

Hillary Clinton needs to go to the republican party from where she came from. She is just staying in there so John McCain have enough time to pander his bs. How much are they paying you Hillary....I know you and old Bill will sell your souls for money...........And please stop making your racists remarks, When the Black people put your husband in the white house for two terms, you didn't have a problem with us then..........And no, you can't be VP. We can"t trust you along side Obama, you might do something to harm him so that you can become president........I am sooooooooo disappointed in you. I used to like you.

How you go down is also a measure of how great you are. hillary is ceryainly not going down with dignity. As a former first lady and senator with diverse constituents she should know better. I wonder how her NY constituents of color feel about her remarks. Shame! disappointment and deep pain!

What she said invokes painful memories of a very troubled past.
I would like to see the media, if truly neutral, dig into this further like they did with the Wright controversy.

Those suggesting that Hillary Clinton is simply "telling it like it is" are missing one critical point: she's not simply some detached, objective analyst giving her observations on the political landscape. Anything she does or says has to be seen in the context of her strong motivation to win the nomination. She's not stupid, so a thinking person has to believe that when she says in effect "Obama can't get the white vote" that there's an aspect of such a statement intended to help create its own reality.

I prefer Obama, but I've never been a Hillary hater, and have always been quite prepared to vote for her if she becomes the nominee; however, if this statement is what it appears to be, she is indeed sinking well below where I think she ought to be going.

I'm a white woman and I reject and denounce Hillary Rodham Clinton!

"Small states don't matter"
"Following the rules doesn't matter"
"Fiscal responsibility doesn't matter"
"Ethics don't matter"
"Blacks don't matter"

Who, I ask, is elitist?

Neil, WELL SAID!!!!

There we go again. People will not let race become a non-issue. This woman needs to shut up. DROP THE RACE ISSUE. We are AMERICANS and that is it. With comments like she is making, she is no better than Alan Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Jerimiah Wright or any other person in this country who chooses race sides and won't let it go. And I take the Bible and throw it at them all, because NONE of them know what it says.

Please remember this, for those who are supportive of her remarks. Obama didn't go out for the African-American vote. Most African-Americans, before the race began, supported Hil-LIE-ary, so don't call it racist that black people are voting for Obama. They see a hope. They see what our ancestors fought so hard for and they're proud. I researched Obama, to find out what he was about before I went gun-ho for him. It's not racist for someone to vote for someone because they're proud of them. Is it sexist for women to vote for Hil-LIE-ary because she's a woman? NO! They are PROUD of her. Or at least, maybe, they WERE proud of her. Don't get duped America!

AGAIN , I POINT OUT TO ALL PEOPLE WHO MENTION THAT BLACKS VOTE IN A LOYAL BLOCK OF APPROXIMATELY 90%.. THEN SAY.. "SEE... THEY ARE RACIST"....

WE VOTE TOGETHER FOR "SURVIVAL"..

NEVER HEARD ONE COMPLAINT THE LAST 40 YEARS "UNTIL NOW"

WHY IS THAT...

PLUS... IF WE ARE RACIST... THEN WE LEARNED FROM THE BEST..

FINAL WORD... (ITS HARD TO BE RACIST OPPRESSORS WHEN YOU ARE ONLY 12% OF THE POPULATION... AND HAVE NO POWER)

After McCain is elected President in November, Democrats will be wishing they had listened to Senator Clinton.

Well ... I guess the Clinton's decided to throw everything, including their last shred of dignity, at Obama in an attempt to win.

Losing white Americans? What proof does she have? The demographics from North Carolina display no such data. Sounds like Desperation Hillary is upon us, and like Obama's spokespersons, very disappointing to read of this tactic.

It saddens me when I see this kind of division! I am an African-American woman who was a Clinton supporter until most recently. I didn't care if she was a woman, if she was white, but what she stood for. As of late, I have seen a person of little or no integrity whatsoever, and not to mention the realization of not believing her because the people she claims she is going to fight against as President are the very ones funding her campaign. Not to mention, NAFTA and all the money that she and Bill have profited fund. Do you really expect me to believe that she only spends the millions that did not come from her NAFTA affiliations!! You see, it upsets many with an old way of thinking that the Black vote is a necessity in winning a general election. And tell me, wasn't it Bill that said that "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina too but that doesn't mean anything".

Breaking news! Chelsea Clinton just endorsed Obama!

YOU ARE A SAD AND PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A WHITE WOMAN,FOR A EDUCATED WOMAN,YOUR TRUE COLORS ARE FINALLY SURFACING,DO YOU BELIEVE WE WANT YOU TO REPRESENT AMERICA,RACIST,RACIST,RACIST.

This white woman over 50 is also a Barack Obama supporter. My guess is those "white people with no college education" that are giving Clinton her support are those REPUBLICANS being recruited by Rush Limbaugh to get her on the ticket because it will be easier for McCain to beat her.

She's trying to weaken Obama for 2012!!!!

This sort of tactic might pander to the good mountain people of West Virginia, but the fact is that she is lying. In my state and many other states, Obama won the majority of all peoples. She is inserting race into this race because her desperation for the white house is driving her to it. It's shameful and dishonest. Our nation needs a leader that doesn't use our differences to gather support. Have some respect Hillary, and aim your campaign against the party that uses those tactics. You don't have a chance. Bow out with some grace.

I agree with Hillary. I think this country going to divide if Obama get President because 90% of black people their just choose their own color for vote so this is race and this not an American at all. It start in PA now
and you going to see it in the future.

Apparently Karl Rove and the ghost of Lee Atwater are advising Hillary. For God's sake, get out, Hillary, before you lose the last supporter you have. You are hurting the Democratic Party, attacking the presumptive nominee and GIVING JOHN McCAIN A FREE RIDE. Enough.

Oh no, Hillary, Think again– Not all whites want you!

As a white older working female I disagree with Hillary Clinton.
Why is she continuing to go negative ?

ask senator clinton who stood by her and her philandering husband when he was impeached? it wasn't those white voters. it was african americans. the next time she stands on the back of a red pickup truck, tell her not to forget her confederate flag. she is definitely the most racist person i know. i guess your true feelings don't come out until you run for office. as an african-american woman, i supported her even before barack. that's the reason she is losing, she can't change and she is the world's biggest dummy. she talks about barack and rev. wright and the fact she would have walked away, she wouldn't have stayed for 20 years. why hasn't she walked away from bill? he seems like a bigger loser than rev wright. ask monica

Statements like these are reason enough for undeclared and declared (for Hillary) Superdelegates to cast their support for Barack Obama right now and put an end to this race. Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and should no longer be given a platform to say such rediculous things. Go away Hillary, you've been beaten by a much better person, one with vision, values and morality; something that has alluded you during this campaign. As a Democrat in a conservative family, I now understand why Republicans dislike the Clintons so much. Thank God Barack Obama saved this country from you.

Hillary! Proof that this campaign is all about YOU!! SHAME ON YOU!

HILLARY CLINTON IS A MONEY POWER HUNGRY RACIST
SHE'S RUSH LIM IN DRAG

Everytime I think Billary can't go and lower, she starts digging! Democrats (and specifically super delegates) should take note: this woman will say anything and do anything to become president. There is no line she will not cross; no depth to which she will not sink. Let's also consider the flip side of this scenario. Imagine the outrage from the Clintonistas if Obama wer to proclaim that America is still mostly male-dominated, most American companies are headed by men, and most elected officials are men; and, therefore, he should get the nomination because American's won't vote for a woman.

What would her supporters say then?

She has sank to a new depth. Please move to Canada. They'll grant you asylum. Ugh.

I'm white. I've been supporting Obama for over a year, and will continue to do so when he's in the White House.

TIP IT HILLARY!

End Game. Thats All Folks. The End. Its is over HRC. Really sad to see you stoop so low. I have lost all respect for you and would not vote for you if my life depended on it.

Why is everything that Hillary does, looked at and picked at, whatever Obama says, does, wear or doesn't say, it's over-looked... come'on press.... start doing your job..report it all.... OK so Obama won Guam by 7 votes, Headline–Obama edges Clinton... HIllary wins Indiana, headline- Hillary barley wins....

Please..... and why would anyone want this race to be over, I'm loving it and all my ffriends are, even though we are all supporting someone different.... if this is to be over- change the rules, have more primaries closer together– LET EVERYONE VOTE>>>>> isn't that what this is suppose to be about?????????????

Her comment is unacceptable. In order to win the nomination, you need everyone's vote: white, black, asian, native american and latino. I just can not believe she would say that.. The country is already divided why would we (the people) vote for someone that wants or states more divison. I really like and appreciate Hillary but that comment just makes me sick. We do not need a president like that- we, the people represent this country and if you want to be president you have to represent us ALL!!!!!

obama 08

Mrs. Clinton would do herself and the party a great service if she gracefully exited. She also has seemed to have forgotten that no Democrat can win without the African American vote either.

The majority of Obama supporters are not black. Hillary must be delirious with campaign fatigue or her true colors are finally coming out. All of these posters who think that Obama is winning strictly off the "black vote" are really naive. African Americans make up less than 20% of the total United States population.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

I've long respected you and your political career, at a point even vascillating on my decision of whether to vote for you or Obama, you've had a great run, but now it is time for you to bow out with grace and dignity. Let's focus on uniting our party, on bringing America together. Your coalition is indeed strong Mrs. Clinton, you have a broad base of support, but if it were the strongest, you'd be in the lead now and you are clearly not. Let's not waste any more time and energy.

If a democrat is to win the nomination, he needs the black votes also. As far as we know clinton has a bigger problem with blacks than obama has with whites.

This is so sad.

It seems like lots of people want to argue over who is more racist.

We need to unite.

Obama '08

Ok lets do the math. 12% of the nation is black and Obama gets 90% of that 12%. Obama has roughly 16 million popular votes. That means the total number of black votes he has is 0.12*0.9 * 16 million = 1.8 million which is 10 % of votes.

So you see the other 90% comes from every ther race white,hispanic etc.

He can't be beating Hillary by only winning black votes. By the way the fact that blacks are voting for Obama doesn't mean anything. Women also are voting for Hillary since they want Hillary to be the first Woman president. Although Bill Richardson is hispanic, Hispanics did not come swinging out for him. Just a thought

White, auto worker, 56yr old, non h.s.,catholic from MI

Hillary needs to win by 65 – 35 in all the remaining elections.

She needs to win 60-40 (3 – 2) for super delegates.

Even I can figure out the math. I am supposed to be dumb as I am an old whitey with no education.

As far as MI and FL, it would be a different story if Obama was,
1.) On the ballot in MI
2.) If he campaigned in FL.
and
3.) If HRC had resisted the issue before the primary.

Hill: Drop out dear its not worth it.

Wow, a stunning new low from Senator Clinton. This is right out of the 60s playbook. Really, really repugnant. The way she's playing this, she won't be Senator much longer.

I'll defend her right to stay in the campaign until her legacy is a tattered, stained remnant of what it was; insane as that is, that's her right. But a scorched earth policy to deny any Democrat other than herself the White House is unacceptable.

Do the inevitable, HIllary: join the Republicans and take all your supporters with you. McCain/Clinton–unbeatable, but at least honest.

PS: I'm white and I voted for Obama.

Her comments are disgusting. Whoever wins the nomination needs the support of all Democrats-white, black, brown, no matter the color.

I look at these comments the same way as when she says you have to win the big states to win the White House. What about the other states? If the rest of the union stays at home in November, can you win? If all the people that you continue to disenfranchise with your comments stay at home, can you beat John McCain? I think not.

So she needs to shut up and run on the issues, and leave race out of it. Is she insinuating that "hard-working Americans, white Americans" work harder than anyone else in the U.S.? I wonder when will this country push past race...

You folks better get ready for
President John Sidney McCain.
No way will this Democrat vote for
Barrack Hussein Obama, very poor judgment
and bad companions.

How can any white person vote for the racist Obama, it just amazes me how stupid some whites are. And yes, blacks are obviously the most racist group of people in America. 90% vote for Obama, pretty obvious.

So who needs or wants stupid racists in the party.

Ferarro, Bill, BET pres, and Rendell have done everything you could to make it that way and now you want to use it as a reason to stay in the race. Yikes. I call it the "he is black, he is black, he is black campaign." Is that all you got? Honestly Hillary, you need to get a grip.

Her remarks are truly disappointing.....I voted for Senator Obama in the primary and will vote for him in the general election.... in spite of her racist statements.

Anybody for Obama, white or black doesn't know much about what he stands for and has done, which is nothing. All he brings to the table is radical racist people who he has surrounded him self with. So, do the math. Obama will and has already divided this country, where it wasn't before. At-a-boy Howard Dean! Anybody but Obama in 08............

As a reminder 92% and 90% of African Americans voted for Indiana and North Carolina respectively. 91% in Mississippi. 89% in Pennsylvania. Hello?

Charles in NJ:

Sure forget the young vote, it is not like they will be controlling the future of this country some day. Open your eyes, the future is the younger generations, anyone over 50 better be kissing their behinds, they are the only ones who will be able to support you!

People are ignorant... no wonder you all support Clinton. Put her in office and in 4 years I hope there is no complaining when there is nothing left of the US.

Obama supporters are all for "telling like it is" unless its something they don't lke to hear. Hillary is getting the "white vote" and Obma is "getting the black vote". Is that new to them??? Obama does need our votes to win the GE. If anyone does not want to vote for Obama, Hilalry or McCain that is THEIR BUSINESS AND THEIR RIGHT. Call them all the names you would like, but no one has to bow to anyone for how they vote. No one should be called names, or intimated by how they feel about any candidate. You Obama supporters want a black president so bad that everyone else is either "nuts, stupid or a racist if they do not agree with you.

If all of you cannot take the chance that your candidate can lose, then that candidate should not have entered the race to begin with. Over the years many have lost and many have one. This race is no different no matter how you want to spin it.

Hillary is in grave danger of not just losing this nomination, but losing her political career.

She is really starting to anger me. My best friends mom, who is 80, white and a Texan voted for Hillary, but told me she has had buyers remorse since watching how Hillary has conducted her campaign since Texas. She NOW is for Obama.

Hillary herself is starting to become the most divisive thing in the entire democratic campaign.

My message to Hillary -
If all the white folks were voting for you honey, you would be ahead now. Clearly they are not. Just because they voted for you does not mean they will vote for McCain if you aren't the nominee. I can say for a fact the women I know who did vote for you WILL vote for Obama if he is the nominee. Two of them already regret having voted for you in the first place.

AND in case nobody is watching, approximately 25% of the Republican voters in Indiana and North Carolina DID NOT vote for McCain..... interesting.

Did she really say this???? OMG. It would appear that she will do ANYTHING. And this comes out right before the primary in West Virginia to where most of the state are working, hard working, white americans. I am stunned as I right this. The facts are the facts, and it is true that Obama did not do as well in the midwest with whites, but for her to use this to create doubt within party leaders and citizens minds is to take advantage of the reality she cites. Now she is obviously denying that this charge is racially divisive, but can anyone really believe that? Throughout this campaign season I have watched this woman paint herself as the inevitible, the experienced, the camander-in-chief, the underdog and Rocky fighter, and the hard-working blue-collar american. She has been from New York, Texas and Pennsylvania. She has lied and said she mispoke, and we accepted it. She has used every opportunity to disparage the caracter of her opponent, and claimed to be unfairly attacked on policy and fact. She agreed that Florida and Michigan would not be seated for violations under the DNC and attempts to blame her opponent for disenfrancising millions of voters. She has used the important state argument, the swing state argument, the superdelegate argument, whenever it was suited. Now... its the white argument! Where is this going to lead the democratic party and america?
I am a 34 year old white american, living in Georgia where I work as a mechanic for a dealership. I have a college degree and have a black wife with three mutiracial children. The only time I have ever voted is when I was 18, and I voted for Ross Perot. Politically I would identify myself as a libertarian and conservative. I am one of the americans that have been turned off by politics (or politicians) that has been drawn into the fold because of Barack Obama. Before his presence on the national scene I was a strong cynic of both the Republican party and the Democratic party.
Another comment... meek is not the same as week, the person who reminds you constantly of their toughness is usually not so tough, and tearing things apart is much easier than building things back up.
Finally, there are so many great problems in america and the world. Having said that, I believe that the problem between white and black americans takes precedent to almost all others. Barack shared with us that black americans are dissatisfied and that whites are too. The bible says to man that we are all sinners. But there is forgiveness if we are willing to acknowledge our sin, apoligize for it and then turn away from it. Jesus said "I am the truth" and "the truth will set you free". I believe that Barack can help all americans through the racial recovery that is so needed. Clinton... she just reminds us that she can win the white vote. Scott Frates

How must those supporters of Hilary feel..the ones who are not white, privileged, educated etc. The same supporters who have no doubt made contributions to her campaign of money that is probably tight and could be used for gas or food. The same one's who have supported her and shown up at her rallies, unless my vision is impaired, they were not all "white american"?? SHAME ON YOU Hilary, as a white, educted woman, I would be disgusted to be in the same room as you. Any and all respect that i had for you has most certainly gone. It is time to heal the racist divide in America not inflame it.

So sad! And Hillary was hoping Obama would somehow blow a gasket and stumble and she would win the prize! What we see is what we all really knew: Hillary lacks character and integrity and she is an out and out racist! She is divisive and polarizing.

I am so sad to see such a lady resort to these divisive tactics to keep America from moving forward and discussing policy concerns. I would never vote for her now as a God fearing, patriotic, hard working, professional black woman. The country has had enough of politicians who exploit our differences for political gain. Move over, Hillary, you are done. I will not be a democrat if the party gives this primary to her at this point.

Hillary – Obama has MANY intelligent, educated white men and women supporting his worthy and honest cause. He could not have the majority of votes on his side just with black votes. They are not the majority. Your math stinks. Your integrity stinks. Every time you speak you are even more offensive to me than Rev. Wright. Just shut up.

perhaps it is honest of Clinton to say what she believes. And yes, maybe it's from the exit polls.

But here are two things that bother me:
1 the "working, hard-working Americans, white Americans" quote. Does this somehow imply that nonwhite Americans aren't hard working?

and

2 the "much broader base" she says she has to build a coalition. it seems to me that "working hard-working Americans" isn't a broad base at all, but a highly narrow one.

I'm white.

And I abhor the ignorant statements by Hillary.

Shame on you for generalizing all white people.

More than white people count, Hillary. This one, even given all the outrageous stuff coming out of the Clintons during this primary is just unbelievable. What happened to the old Clintons? I guess ambition trumps your old sense of fairness.

Is it just me, or does her comment make it sound like "white-americans" are the only "hard working" americans?
Yikes, that's a scary comment. I was already convinced before that I would vote for Nader if she becomes the nominee, but now I'm 100% convinced.

The people have spoken, it is Obama Americans want not Hillary. This is the time for the superdelegates to act and act decisively to affirm the voice of the people by joining the Obama train. this has to be brought to an end even before Tuesday May 13 before Hillary and Bill desroy our party.

I am a middle aged white female and I support Obama. I liked Bill as a President, not fond of Bill and Hillary as human beings. I am not going to say that Hillary is a racist, I just don't like or trust her. I do not know if I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. I do not want to see an Obama/Hillary ticket either. I don't think that would be good for the country.

I am really, really tired of the media and analysts running the Wright issue into the ground when it is such a non-issue to me. I do not hear anyone talking about religion in the lives of Hillary or McCain. We should also see the tax returns of Cindy McCain but she says that she will never release them. Why are we stuck on Wright?

I think most people will tell you that this animosity within the democratic party is tearing it apart. This is the worst thing that could have happened in this election year. We had an edge following eight years of the worst leadership in history, but we have really blown that edge. I live in the middle of the bible belt where you can be shot for declaring yourself a democrat. There is a bumper sticker around here (not on my car) that says, "Anyone but Hillary". Do you think we are going to unite by November? I sincerely doubt it.

I am very disheartened at some of the comments on here. I've never understood reverse racism. How can the majority, the mainstream, the ones in power, claim reverse racism? Black people have faithfully supported Democratic nominees, including bill clinton. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson ran for President, but we all did not vote for them (me included) because they weren't, in my mind, qualified. Even those who voted for them voted for the white candidates and didn't feel badly about it.

For some of you to imply that black people blindly support other black people is ridiculous. We are not monolithic. Most black people supported Hillary when this race started! She LOST our vote, because she started off with it, so save that argument.

Obama's a token candidate. It's tacky. He married the black girl in his office and now all the black people vote for him. Even though he's only half black.

Right............

Guess what?

Obama's half white TOO and he still can't gain the white vote. This is because he doesn't appeal to common sense, he's 'exotic' and appeals to the chablis drinking limousine liberals just like he said!

This is too funny.The party of inclusion coming apart at the seams.

Super Delegates- Not only has she lied to the voters, now she has lied to you. There will be no graceful exit. There will be no putting this party back together. And with three more weeks of crap like this there will be no Democratic Party.

End scene.

She's done.

If she wasn't done before, she's done now.

Shame on you Hillary! Proof that you will do and say anything to win - who are you trying to kid - this campaign is all about YOU!

If this is Senator Clinton's reasoning then is it valid to say that she cannot win the, white college educated, african american, or young white vote.

Don't you also need these votes to win?

Just another way that Senator Clinton demonstrates she will stop at nothing to win and say anything even if in the long run it is hurtful to the party to create this narrative among potential November voters.

Very disappointing

Hi CNN,

Now, what are you going to say about this? Do you have questions for her? Is this comment racially oriented or not?

It is really so unfair when she calls a spade a spade and then gets knocked for racism...come on....92% of the Black Vote in N.C. and that isn't racism....This is so unfair to a white person. I think NC was racist and all bigots....unbelievable...

The race for the presidential candidate as boil down to color...Black or White. This is very sad. The people of the United States is now showing the world that the US is no doubt the mother of all racist country.

Big up Obama..... You will overcome and win

To Judy and " Hillary or McCain" (The true racist on this board).

I'm Black and I support Obama. Prior to this, I supported Kerry, Gore, Clinton, Bush, Reagan. As you can see, I supported the "White Guys" along the way , according to whom I thought met my standard for president.

Obama is Black, but you seem to overlook that he is equally white. Why is that? Have you forgotten or maybe you haven't heard that his mother was white and his father was black.

I'm voting for Obama because he is qualified. The fact that he happens to have a dark shading of skin the resembles mine is a plus for him. I'm sure some women who support HRC are voting for her because they think she is qualified and she is a woman. When you have 2 good choices and its hard to decide, you look to intagibles that are important to you to break that tie.

Excuse us black folks for being excited about a candidate that looks likes us and has the intelligence and the experience to run for the hightest position in this country. We don't get this opportunity very often. If HRC fairly wins the nomination, the we blacks will support her just like we supported her husband.

the dems had better step up to the plate now and get the super delegates to move before her or Billy boy come out with any more racist remarks and completely ruin their chances in the fall
the republicans are sitting back enjoying the Clinton blunders
this woman is so desperate for power she will say or do anything
regardless of the consequences!

Despiration on her part! I am a registered Republican and I would love nothing more than to vote for Obama! I will not vote for McCain and would not support Clinton, even to save her life!!!

I don't care if it's Obama or McCain, but I want Al Sharpton on the Supreme Court. Here come de judge, a Sammy Davis Jr. bit, for you young readers (?).

CNN just changed the ticker title to make this sound more PC. Pretty shameful CNN, don't try to cover up what she said, we need to know just how raciest this women really is.

At least she decided to reveal the white hood she has only been wearing at night up until now...like Malcolm X said – "By any means necessary"

May 8th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

I am a conservative Democrat who simply cannot bring myself to vote for Obama in November (There is something to be said about the MOST LIBERAL VOTING RECORD in the US senate). Conservative Democrats will NOT have it. Period!

Hillary or McCain 08!
Hillary or McCain 08!
Hillary or McCain 08

small minds in FL lost the race for us before.....so get lost mcbushton

As an African American this statement really troubles me. It bothers me because in my personal opinion, Hillary is trying to racially divide this party and cause my fellow white americans to vote along racial lines. That is why I do not support Hillary, because of tactics like these and her need to win at all cost. Maybe some of you will see nothing wrong with this and that is okay, I've learned to accept that.

But at the same time don't think I'm crazy the next time I say that I feel that some people in american are still racist and will remind me of that if the opportunity presents itself.

I am so disappointed in Hillary Clinton to have to use the race issue to demonstrate that she still thinks she is a viable candidate. To take this position is racist and divisive. The best individual to lead our country is one who brings together all peoples of our nation....not one who uses race as a tool to win an election. I thought better of the Clintons....but Hillary has used the race issue several times in this campaign and I will not support her in any vote where she is a candidate....anywhere and anytime.

While I am an Obama supporter, I had tried to give Bill and Hillary the benefit of the doubt with some of there strange race baiting wordsd on the campaign trail as "politics as usual". However, this is the last straw. Our country and our party better figure out that this is one America and until we come to understand it, we will never be as strong and blessed as we can be.

Stay strong friends and let's not be duped! It is no wonder that bill was scheduled to be on Rush Limbaugh's show.

I am a Hillary supporter and I am black , I will not vote for obama in the general election. It looks like the news media and superdelegates is deciding who should be the Democrat Presidential Candidate. Everyone says change but obama isnt about change. obama is going to have to put some of the old washington elites who is backing him in some positions. Do not believe he wont owe the ones who are backing him. THINK ABOUT THAT "CHANGE "

Hi, Mrs. Clinton. I'm a white (female) voter. Frankly, all race and gender aside, I've never been able to see what defines you as anything different than every other politician who has come before you. Yes, you come closer to my ideals than your Republican counterpart, but that's not going to cut it anymore.

I'm weary of the political status quo, and that's why I voted for Mr. Obama. That's right–I'm in one of your favored demographics, and I did not vote for you. Every time I step into a voting booth, I have no guarantee that the person for whom I'm voting will fulfill any campaign promises. All I have to go on is what the candidates say, and you've said little that speaks to me. Obviously, I don't know the thoughts of every American, but I think we're desperate for change–not just little, creeping, political maneuvers, but REAL change. On every front, you seem to be just more of the same.

I'm sorry. I wish things were different.

Senator Clinton's comments are racially devisive and go hand-in-hand with those made by Gov. Rendell on Lynn Swann's failed attempt in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race. There is the omnipresent notion that we are not quite ready for a black candidate such as Senator Obama to be accepted by ALL the people.

If Clinton whispers "RACE" she is an awfull racist. Obama on the other hand is FREE to talk about his WHITE grandmother, his BLACK father, his own BRAUN skin whenever its suits his purposes.

She now REEKS OF DESPERATION...EEWWWW!!!..WHAT A STENCH!! ..Just get out Hillary!!..Join the Republicans..your own kind.

This is not a race issue. We need to look at results. Hilary has proven she can execute. I am concerned by how the Democratic Party is separating our unity. They have "chosen" the candidate they want us to believe we are "voting" for. Where are the pictures of Barack smoking? Why shouldn't I be outraged by the racist remarks of Barack's minister? (Heck, we continue to hear about Bill Clinton's mistakes 10 years later and somehow, those mistakes are attached to Hilary.) Bottom line: the Democratic Party has alienated professional women by failing Hilary. Good luck in November.

Oh and the Clintons had dealings with Rezko and Wright so NOW WHAT???/ Neither of them are running for President only Clinton and Barack so let all the connections go once and for all stop hiding behind Rev Wright.

Wow, what a demented woman she is. I thought she had gone as low as she would willingly go to win, but this is phycological, the woman is CRAZY. She is clearly trying to ignite a racial divide within her own party. The DNC needs to step in NOW and end this. Hillary in case you didn't get the memo, America is trying to grow-up and move to a level of national maturity that will make us greater than we have ever been. I am truly saddened by this.

By the way Indiana is 94% white and if not for "operation chaos” you would have lost, besides many of the states in which Obama won had populations that was disproportionally white.

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY and anyone that subscribes to that type of unpatriotic garbage.

True Americans are better than that !!!!!

This is one (two, if you also count my husband) hard-working white person who is not voting for Hillary because of this type of pandering to the lowest common denominator. While I am quite satisfied with most of her policy positions (a vast improvement over the conservative platform, which has put us in the pickle we are currently in) I could not be more disappointed in her win-at-any-cost campaign strategies.

There is a pattern Hillary...you are more popular among the naive minded Americans! Are you bragging about that?

Is anyone surprised at this statement? This has been at the heart of the 'race bait' comments from Bill, Geraldine et al. Then, it was a joint ticket, but you had no desire to be the VP. This is not a simple matter and politicians of all stripes must denounce these subtle and demeaning behaviour of an individual, who believes that she is entitled to this nomination and occupation of the White House, and that the White House can and should only be occupied by whites.

It's another scare tactic from the Clintons, one that exhibits poor judgement but exposes the truth of their hearts. She is using a reverse psychology to say to super-delegates that whites will not vote for Obama because he is black. Whites over 65 may not, but there are a new generation of whites, young , educated and mature thinking, who will not succumb to this desperate statement. She has stooped to a low level-desperate and dangerous.

No wonder her campaign is struggling to get donations. This should be enough proof to her, that her supporters are holding to their purse strings, because they see the writing on the wall. Shame on you Hillary Clinton, for insulting white people's intelligence. What else are you going to do or say again? Your sniperlie or gas tax holiday did not work, so it's now white voters against Obama. You just dug your grave.

Wait until the "black" remarks start coming to remind you how blacks like he and his wife can't get ahead (thought they both went to Harvard and are millionaires?)
That will be followed with the "generational gap" comments to point how your grandmother is "stealing" your legacy with Social Security and Medicare. Thta's his "Truth" and soon he will peddle it as surely as McCain talks about 100 years in Iraq or Hillary talks of whites supporting her.
What wil you say then about him. Will he be a biggot, a divisive candidate? How will you describe it when he pries us apart with the statements he learne at his pastor's church? Where will the truth lay?

I'm a proud white middle aged, white collar supporter of Barack Obama. How many of the supposed white voters that Hillary is counting are actually cross-overs due to the Limbaugh effect? Those cross-overs, will be voting for John McCain in November and wouldn't be voting for Hillary the second time around. Every Barack Obama rally I've been to is a sea of faces from every color, including white people. To bring the primary down to an issue of race is degrading.

The Clintons will DO ANYTHING no matter how low to win. I keep seeing the pundants and the media throwing out the possibility of an Obama -Clinton ticket, and the idea of "that woman" on the Obama ticket make me sick.

The more she runs her stupid mouth, the more people see what a nasty person she really is.

Will the superdelegates please stop her!! Senator Clinton's new blatantly racist appeal couldn't be more destructive and is offensive to me as a white woman. It should make it clear to the superdelegates that she is not someone who can plausibly represent the Democratic party.

Hillary, step aside. You just can't win. You are dividing the party further.

if clinton doesn't get the nod from the dems she should run as an independent. obama is a fraud who was put up by fortune 500 companies to run and the people are so stupid as to fall for it.

Hillary, you're disgusting. Basically you're telling the party that Democrats are too racist to elect a Black man. Well, if that's the case, then we don't deserve to win the election in Novemeber.

greg: Then why is he leading? Are blacks all of a sudden the majority? It is irational, stereotypical comments like this that are what's wrong with this election. 32 year old white male for Obama.

For some reason, I get the feeling that Hillary was just added to the Republican party's payroll. I wouldn't be surprised if they gave her a "$6.4M" bonus to make those statements.

Note to West Virginia Democrats,
You can help end this madness next Tuesday. Please don't encourage her any longer...

Hillery, Thank you an Bill fer all youn's done fer us poor white folk. Usen them food stamps helped save cash fer the trailer home addition, you and yer man Bill can stop anytime at all yer like family and all. Oh, bring Chelsee too, shes cute.
Yer kinfolks, Sherdon
Mash Hollow, Ky.

Drop OUT HILARY.

Why is anyone surprised? This will get her more votes in KY and WV. She has played to the constiuents who are blue-collar (funny what about the blacks) and uneducated. Unfortunately there are many bases within the Democratic Party- one of which is African American. If she does not need that vote than fine. However, if she can't win without that vote.

I'm a bit confused as to how people like Judy and Linda say that Blacks overwhelmingly support Barack because he is Black... do you support your candidates because they are white? In case we forget, in the beginning of this race, Blacks were overwhelmingly supporting Clinton. Obama had to earn the Black vote. I know this may sound crazy, but maybe Obama's message is resonating with Black voters the same way it resonates with young voters and other demographics.

WHO CARES WHAT HILLARY CLINTON SAYS-–SHE IS HISTORY.
OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, HE WILL GET 75% OF THE VOTES IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION..

This white male is supporting Obama mostly because of the incredible arrogance of politicians like Clinton. Her comments today are all "me me me" and nothing about the people she would like to, well, serve. I wouldn't vote for Hillary under any circumstances and suggest she get off the stage and go home.

come on superdelegates, keep this person from speaking for the party!

Again people why must African Americans ONLY be voting for Barack because he is Black?? I believe everybody I ever voted for in past elections for President were WHITE yet I dont recall the DNC complaining or dismissing my vote then but now that the candidate is black its a problem. Rev Wright is NOT running for President and he is not a racist blacks CANNOT be racist we do NOT have power to hold another group of people down. We can however be prejudice. HRC comments were disgusting to say the least but sadly she spoke with most of her supporters have been thinking anyway. I am not saying everybody voting for Hillary is a racist but there are some people in this country like the 8% of people in PA who do not want a black president now or ever they feel only whites should be in control and thats very sad. Change is hard thank God for Barack!!!!!!

Also please let go of Michelle Obamas comment as a black woman I am also NOT always proud of the so called greatest country that is such an elitist state of mind. Blacks and whites view this country differently point blank period and thats OKAY!!!

YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL

By the way, any dems saying "I'll vote for McSame" just must be living in some alternate universe or something.

Reminds my of Cleavon Little holding a gun to his own head in Blazing Saddles....

Just as she claims Obama needs the white vote to win; Hillary needs the black vote to win and unfortunately she has turned a lot of blacks off by comments that have been made by her husband, her camp and now her. And all the comments that the Clintons have done so much for AA, like they are somehow our saviors is very insulting. What good does it do me for you to PRETEND to be my friend, when actually your not.

The AA vote only makes up about 35% of the democratic vote, so all you peopel claiming that if it werent for the AA vote Obama wouldnt be as far as he is, that is very incorrect, due the math

She Just Lost any Chance of getting the Nomination. Quit NOW!
Racist pig.

FedUpInOhio, I am the same and will vote for Hillary...I must have more common sense!!

You are right Hillary. And do not forget Catholics, Jews, Hispanics and many others. The party may satisfy some of the electorate but lose the majority of the people.

I am offended. Not the message I want from my president.

It is amazing how the democrats will lose this race. With two terms of Bush it is amazing we can't win. Clinton spoke the truth. Mr. Obama will not win the election. Just won't. Should she have said it? Probably not. The truth is the truth. If you can't get the blue collar democrats... you don't win. Mr. Obama got over 90% of the black vote. Good for him. That doesn't mean he will win the general election. It's almost like the party doesn't want to win the white house.

Was it racist? NO. Deal with the facts the minority vote will not get you the white house.

Just another disgusting display by her. I'm white, I'm hard working and I support Obama and his conepts on the changes needed in this country. Does she think before opening her mouth on such a charged subject as race. I suggest that she does this as part of a planned strategy. She is a disgrace and should just bow out before she does anymore damage – not only to the nomination process and the party, but to the nation as a whole.

This middle aged white woman wants

BARACK OBAMA

in the White House next January!!!!!

HOPEMONGERS UNITE!

i am a 33 year old white male.comments like this sicken me and is a sobering fact about the level of racism that is inbred into our culture. It for someone like ms clinton to flippantly make those remarks and act like it was nothing is just plain ugly and just like most people who wont admit to themselves that those were the comments of a racist!!!LOOK IN THE MIRROR PEOPLE.if obama had made similar comments about going after black people out of work and on welfare what would you say.i HIGHLY doubt you would just brush it off as politics.we are ourown worst enemy

Is losing ? He already has. She calls it correctly. He has failed miserably as a uniter dismissing "plain old white folk."

Since when did only the white vote count in America. If Clinton feels that way, she needs to take her butt back in time. This is 2008. She feels like a black man should never be allowed to beat her. I find it funny she signed an agreement not to couit the votes, now she is behind and wants to change the rules. She is not sealing the deal with the black vote either. I say blacks should not vote for someone who has constantly and is still causing racial divide. If the white male and female vote is all she needs, then I say to the rest of us, who also make up America, lets take our vote to Obama or McCain. To hell with the elite Clintons! We can get our own coffee

From an outside perspective, the Democratic party has an uphill battle no matter how you look at it. An African American man or a white woman running for president – following American history, it doesn't look promising either way. However, that being said, Obama is smart and young and brings limited baggage to the race. Hillary will always be linked to Bill – a great president with a big personality and a bigger libido. The rest of the world cares little about Bill's past behavior, but that can't be said for all the conservatives in the U.S. If the whites in the U.S. are going to have to choose between Obama and McCain, I hope they all get together (and with every other race) and make sure the U.S. doesn't have another term or two of Bush-like politics from the GOP.

SO... all the white people in Indiana, Pennsylvania and other states that voted for Hillary... you all are calling THEM racists???

Yall are idiots!

Obama has won states(yes primaries) that have about 2 % black population or none.He has already gotten the white vote.
Blacks were voting for Clinton earlier on before they got to know Obama.Then she lost that vote.She doesn't get the youth vote either.
If clinton supporters can't see through her narcisistic personality,they are blind.Obama has never said that either race of voters doesn't count.Never.That is why this is news.
The party needs to step in and send her packing.She is the most self-absorbed politician I have ever seen.
She is disgusting!
She became so angry because she had this attitude that it was owed to her and was challenged and lost.She was given the "crown" before the race even started by herself,her party,and the media-and she is acting like devil child now.
I had respect for the Clinton's for years-but no more.
Wow,the republicans were right about them all along.

What a RACIST!!!! this is one of the Wrost moments in the history of Politics!!! She wants to go back to a ONLY WHITE election? I can't believe The media is not Outrage! I AM!!! What is next Mrs. Clinton? are you going to say that black americans are not really americans, or that they should get only 1/2 of a vote? or that only white people matter in this country? I am sad to see this Racism form a presidential candidate!!!

You've got to be kidding? Iowa? Indiana? His numbers with white have been increasing from Ohio–more in PA, more in IN, more in NC?

Give us a break. I am tired of her comments. She needs a holiday. Power hungry Clinton's.

The only good thing about this comment is that Hillary will taint herself so much that noone would elect her for anything but the Grand Wizard of Arkansas.

I also find it mildly amusing that a "feminist" is saying that you can't get elected unless you get the white male vote.

I think she's gone further off the edge than Bill has – unless they were just secret Klannies all this time.

HOW DARE SHE! Regardless of HRC's point for these statements, they ring the same notes as the Rev. Wright. She just adds some sugar and deletes the sour lemon. Will CNN echo these statements 24/7? Not only that, the DNC supports her. ALL votes important.

As a white male republican for the past 30 years I will never vote for HRC and Obama has my vote. Also I live in the deep South

Wow! Is she running for Grand Wizard of the KKK too?

WOW!!!!She's in FULL BRITTANY MODE! The woman has completely lost her marbles…. and it appears she owes "something" to Weinstein!!!

The problem here is not that she is saying whites are voting for her, it's that she's implying that they are more important. Whether it's true or not (it's not, no Democrat in recent history has won without the black vote), it's not something a presidential candidate should be saying, it's unbecoming.

After reading the Harvey Weinstein mess, and the Clinton financial backer threatening to with hold financial support if she does not back down and support the Florida and Michigan revote; there is absolutely NO WAY THIS 56 YR OLD WHITE MAN will support Hillary. I will NOT vote until May 20, and there is NO WAY she will receive my vote.

I'm a 64 year old, white, working, republican women for OBAMA!! I now would love to see Hillary bow out very graciously and Obama offer her the VP position. That really would be a dream team!! It is possible! Obama/Clinton, think of the American people–WE NEED YOU now more than ever. I don't want Hillary as president, but as VP it would offer the best of both and I do think she might obtain a little humility-which she needs very badly before she has a breakdown.

To bring up "race" is just rediculous! Thanks for the 2 steps back...grow up!!! We see your true colors! I am a white woman and would never vote for you. Go Barack!!!

Hillary has sought to racially and ethnically polarize America ever since she lost in predominantly white Iowa. Fact is she realized after Bill screwed up in South Carolina that was her only chance for winning. The Clintons are shrewd and know how to play the race game better than most. BlACK and WHITE people across America should repudiate her and move away from this kind of divisiveness. Hillary is increasingly showing how disgusting a human being she actual is.

This 60 + white woman supports Obama. So does my twin sister!
So do many white friends and relatives, ranging in ages 50 to 95!

Clinton is a double talker. When she was the Democratic forerunner she loved Obama and the Blacks mean so much to her. Now that she is far behind the Whites need her and the Blacks do not count. Get real Hilary and bow out graciously. It is not easy to accept defeat but the fight is over. Obama will be the next President. You better accept it now. The White House is for all Americans.
Adios

Abbie

It's really amazing how a single individual could be allowed to subordinate the interest of her party and her nation to hers.

Single-handedly, Clinton's tantrums is making the DNC leadership look very weak and this to the whole world.

Obama may have a majority of Black votes but he is not pandering to them and trying to divide the party based on race.

Senator Clinton is looking at pol data numbers. She is stated the facts. Please don't use the race card to try to change the facts. Numbers do not lie.

No matter what you say, more whites will vote in the general election. You need to win them, don't start by insulting them.

I am OUTRAGED that people are silly enough to say If you dont support Obama you must be racist. HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET?? I dont support Obama because he is INEXPERIENCED. I dont support OBAMA because he will be like a newborn babe if he gets in the WhiteHouse because he wont know what to do. He makes beautiful speeches, (even tho if you break them apart, there are several inconsistancies) He is a good schmoozer, He gets people fired up. Heck , so did half the cheerleaders at the last ballgame I attended. BUT I WOULDNT WANT THEM RUNNING THE COUNTRY EITHER.
Why is it that everyone FORGETS OBAMA is exactly the same percentage WHITE as BLACK. Why does everyone call him a black man. Why not just call him a MAN for goodness sake. How come The Black community likes to continue to pull the race card, that if you dont like Obama then you are racists.A large portion of The Black community continues to dwell on the past and blame everything on race. ( Its a little more understandable since I have Heard REV WRIGHTS sermons) I have actually heard two young men( black men) say there will be riots in the streets if Obama doesnt get it. This is just unacceptable . How can we as Black Americans and White Americans(yes I am mixed 50% Black and 50% White)justify this type of mentality??

EITHER WAY HE IS INEXPERIENCED and WILL NOT be able to beat McCain in the Fall. And to tell the truth
I had rather Pick McCain over him cause at least with McCain YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING.

This woman is really more jaw-dropping every day. How dare she make such statements after another losing Tuesday? Who's the elitist now? If she can even think about making a statement like this, she ignores the fact that the MAJORITY of voters did not vote for her, but whites did, so therefore she represents the right people. How blatantly racist is that?

Even Hillary supporters cannot put the right spin on this if they feel anything about a better country.

No matter how far behind she gets, she still evidently feels entitled to the position and will wait it out. I can see the statements, tricks, and genuine chicanery ramping up by the day, like a fighter needing a knockout in the 15th as time ticks down to 0.

For the good of ALL Americans now, I hope the party leaders and supers put an end to this mad person. Talk about bitter......

Hillary, this statement deeply offends me!

The whole world will see the Clintons. It is good that she is showing the true colors now to the American public. People say they don't know more about Obama, but I believe they don't know more about Hillary too. She is coming out now from her hypocrite shell and Americans will see another Hillary.

Less than college educated WHITES are voting for HRC.
BLACKS are voting for BO ( 98% duh)
So who's callling who racist????
What about those Blacks not voting for Hillary beause she's not black??????? If BO were white, HRC would be the nominee by now. Everybody knows that.

Go for the gold, Hillary. If you win it will be because you EARNED IT and not had it handed to you on a silver plater like BO.
You have the cajones to be president.. You speak the truth whether or not some of your opponents are going to label you racist. You know this election is not just about African-Americans or appeasing them. This election is about ALL Americans.

WITH YOU TIL YOU SAY IT'S OVER, HILLARY.

Being a black man, and following the primary. I am sad to here all this race negitivity. People have forgotten about white water, And half of our jobs that are over seas was done in her husband term in office. Please answer why a person would kill himself to keep from testifying during the white water investigation. This type of information the clintons don't want to talk about.

SAD BUT TRUE!!!! The voting African American population only makes up 17% of the General election population. In 2004, Bush managed to get 5% of the AA to vote for him, thus resulting in a razor thin victory. So, what does this mean? This mean that BO needs over 95% of the AA votes (which is very easy) plus a sustantial percentage of whites, hispanics, asians, and others (1%). There are white republicans who are crossing over to vote for BO in the general election while there are white democrats who want Hillary to be on ticket. She has alot of Asian and Hispanic support as well. If BO manages to get the 60+% of the whites to vote for him in the General election along with a sustantial number of republicans, then he will win. I'm an AA woman with a college degree who supports Hillary but I'm voting DEM in November. I can't say the same for the blue-collar white workers. They were coined the "Reagan Democrats" at one time and they just might become the "McCain Democrats" in November. And that's the arguement Hillary is trying to make.

CNN PLEASE POST

This is so terrible! This woman will do anything and say anything to promote herself and this puts her about as low as a human being can get....At least it is out in the open that she is a bigot as well as a liar and a fraud...I wish people would start really digging into the Clinton past as they may be very surprised at the lies and deceit in that family..
This 58 year old White AMERICAN is voting for Obama...a Black AMERICAN...Hillary..your true self is showing....

If that's not playing the race card I'd like to know what is. I am a bi-racial American who was raised in a largely white, suburban region of Washington State. The majority of persons in my home town voted for Barack Obama by a large margin, so did the people in Seattle and the surrounding region, all predominantly white. Most of my closest friends are white and they all voted for Barack Obama. My mother is white, as is her entire family, they voted for Barack Obama. I personally know what it's like to grow up as a multi-racial individual. I think people often forget that Barack is as much white as he is black. There is a serious problem in this country when persons such as Obama and myself are labeled as African American simply because of the color of our skin. I love black people as they are a part of my genes, and i likewise love white Americans as they are also a part of my genetic makeup. Simply calling us black is an insult to the full scope of our heritage, as would be calling us white, we are multiracial individuals blessed with a firm understanding of both cultures and if there is anyone who can fully understand and try to heal the racial divides in this country it is multiracial individuals such as ourselves for our loyalties inherently fall on both sides. This is something all Americans must understand about Barack Obama. Clinton's statement seems to be saying that white americans would not vote for Barack Obama period. That is a fact which is simply not true and this attempt to play on the racial divides of this nation is sickening. Although black Americans are overwhelmingly coming out for Obama, he has not once said that they would refuse to vote for Clinton during a general election. I hope that all Americans, white, black, hispanic, native, and asian will realize the destructive and disgusting nature of these comments. Dr. King dreamed that all individuals in this great nation of our would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. The character displayed by Clinton over the course of this campaign has been absolutely disgusting and these comments are deplorable. This statement seeks to drags us back to the racial divides of the 50s, 60s and previous decades and I will not stand for it. My mother has time and again said she would never vote for Clinton because she holds strongly to the belief that people should be judged by the content of their character. Prior to today I would have gladly voted for Clinton during the general election despite all of her character flaws because I recognize that the other choice McCain would be unacceptable. I will not vote for McCain, and as of today I will never vote for Clinton, her lack of character has shown in its full light today and revealed something quite ugly. If Obama is denied the nomination as a result of the bigotry of a small remnant of individuals who still think race is more important than what a person stands for I will not vote. I respect all the work Clinton has done for our country but I can no longer respect or claim that I would support her presidency in any fashion. I am greatly disappointed in Clinton, I thought she knew better than to draw on racial divides as a reason for super delegates not to vote for Obama...It seems I was wrong.

People making comments such as "the blacks are more racist than the whites" because over 90% voted for him are clearly as delusional as their sniper-dodging candidate. Have you also noticed that those with higher education are voting in higher proportion also? That women are voting disproportionately for Clinton?

Maybe the white vote is skewed lower than it otherwise would be because of Hillary Clinton-style racists who can't bring themselves to vote for Obama. Maybe African-Americans, who culturally have tighter-knit communities than many other racial / ethnic groups within the nation became interested because of his race, but stayed interested because they can more easily see the truth than many who are blinded by subconscious prejudices, reinforced by their race-baiting candidate.

Not everyone voting for either candidate is doing so "because he's black", or "because she's a woman", but I'd be willing to bet Hillary has garnered far more disproportionate women's votes than Barack has garnered disproportionate votes from African Americans.

(White, College-Educated, Two-Time Bill Clinton voter for Obama)

This is the last straw. As an African American, I see now she has stooped to the level of a white race card nuclear option. The mask is off of this hideous political beast. Her demented squirrel grin hid the racist that lurked within. I wonder how Maya Angelou and other blacks who supported her now feel in the glare of her blatantly racist appeal to whites to vote for her because she is white with them? I've been around for six decades, grew up in the South and I KNOW what real racism smells like, tastes like, feels like. I refuse and millions of Americans of good will and good conscience -black and white- refuse to lay down and take this snarling, desperate drivel from this obvisous deluded woman. This is an affront to the dignity of the nation.

My prayer is that the Democratic super delegates will get off the fence, grow a pair, and do what needs to be done to stop her before she destroys the party. The longer they wait to see what and when she will do, the more damage is done. They can end it tomorrow if enough of them will remove the jelly from their backbones, give Obama the undeniable, overwhelming crushing blow of the number of super delegates required to put him over the top, and move on John McCain. Eight Belles comes immediately to mind. SHe ran a hard race, but in the end, she broke her ankles and had to be put away. I see striking parallels.

Every time Hillary opens her mouth and says something destructive or divisive to the democratic party, I'd like to see 3-5 additional super delegates come out and endorse Obama.

I would hardly call a 60/40 split voting along racial lines. As far as the 90/10 split among black voters, she only has her campaign (and husband) to thank for that. Blacks were originally for Hillary until Bill and her campaign started with the racially subliminal talk after Iowa.

I have lost all respect for the Clintons. Please take whatever ounce of dignity you have and leave.

These truly astonishing comments are perhaps the most racially divisive remarks made to date by either the NY Senator or her husband.

This talk is shameful and embarrasing. It is manipulative talk made by a shrewd seasoned politician who appears willing to do just about anything to get a vote.

It's unfortunate that she can continue to say things like this and
make it through yet another day without the major media holding her accountable, such as what would certainly be the case had it been the other way around.

Hillary is in it to win....2012

The only way she can do that is prevent Obama from getting it in 2008, she would rather hand the White House over to McCain for 4 years than wait 8 to run again! There is no further explanation this is getting out of hand completely, this is one white guy that has supported Obama from the get go....

This sad but she is pulling the same tactic she thought worked in Texas, Ohio and PA. She is trying to reach the "closet" people who deep inside would not vote for someome because of their race. People of West Virginia and Kentucky; Is she right? Only you can prove her wrong. . .

Well, Senator Clinton doesnt' realize
that our area of the world, the NorthWest,
and many surround states all the way to Kansas
White collar AND Blue Collar workers and Unions
and Labor Groups and "white America" has supported
Barack Obama
Take a look at Idaho, Alaska, Nevada, Illinois,Kansas
Labor parts of Texas, and the list goes on.........
In every Obama Rally we have watched across this
nation: there are across the board support for Obama
all races, creeds and colors....Obama bridges the gap!

Obama never said anything about black voters prefering him. The pundits are the ones who say that. Hillary made a gaffe.

Not all white americans. Remember that Hillary is lagging way behind among all segments of young people and college educated – white or black. It seems that elderly whites and blue collar ( the most unlikely to vote for a black man) are supporting Hillary. At this point your the Ross Perot of the Democratic Party. Remember Bill loses to Bush without Ross Perot splitting the Republican vote. Now McCain will take the white house as Hillary splits the Democratic Vote.

Hillbillary take your flip floping tail to WV,and lie to the people about how you grew up dipping scoal tobbacco,eating moonpies,and drinking root beer. I for one as a black voter will most definately switch republican,if she became the nominee.

Obama 08

Mccain 08 if Hillbillary the nominee

She didn't learn from Obama's bitter comment. You just can't offend any large voting block. I think this comment or position if she maintains it, ruins her chance of leaving the race with dignity.

Truth, loyalty, and abiding by the rules simply mean nothing to HiLIARy!

white person here – voted for Obama. I live in Texas, and in a caucus room full of about 500 white people, Obama beat Clinton 72% to 28%.

So, quoting the facts in polls is RACIST now?

What's next?
Elect a black president over anyone else because not doing so is RACIST?
Go to Rev. Wright's sermons because going to any white church is RACIST?

Such hypocrisy from Obama and his supporters.

I'm not a Hillary supporter in the least. The Clinton love affair with the AA community was a disfunctional one sided marraige. Clinton ushered through many bills that were very harmful to the minority and poor. Welfare reform, minimum drug sentencing, and three strikes to name a few, so there are MANY reasons for Blacks to support Obama and feel that he understands their plight. Yet in saying this I will admit that after reading the interview I was not as bothered by her comments as I was after reading the headline. CNN looks to be engaging in some sensationalism here in order to create a controversy.

She's gone completely Captain Ahab. Someone needs to gank her off the stage with a Gong Show hook.

What a terrible statement. So if I am white, 54 years old and support Obama, that makes me what, stupid?

I can see her new campaign motto now: "Vote White! Hillary '08!" UGH!

Booooooo

You know when Bill was elected into office I used to tell the people in the office I did not vote for Bill, I voted for Hillary. Well THAT sure has changed. She has lost all my support for her lies, pandering, and divisive campaining. This is one white voter that is totally fed up with her. She has either sold herself out or is showing her true colors. Either way as far as I am concerned I am done with her. That only leaves one choice....Obama.

Now Clinton's "true colors" come out.. So, now African Americans are suppose to trust her since she has signaled that she thinks that it is no longer accepable that White Americans can vote for Obama.... Outrageous!!! She really will say ANYTHING to get elected! I'm done with her and her husband. Borrowing from the NY Post.. their legacy is toast!

THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT, BLACK VS WHITE ALLWAYS WILL BE. IF OBAMA IS THE DEMS CHOICE SEE YOU LATER. HER COMES JOHN MCCAIN. FOR SOME ONE WHO HAS A PASTOR LIKE HE DOES, FOR SOMEONE NOT TO PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLIGENCE. FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN'T SEE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. AND IN OUR CURRENT POSITION ACCROSS THE WORLD HOW CAN WE HAVE A MUSLIM IN COMMAND OF OUR FORCES.THIS PERSON DOES NOT BELONG IN THE WHITE HOUSE. REMEMBER 9/11

Now is not the time for Hillary to make statements like this. Black people are not the only voting for Barack Obama. Ask the millions of white people who has. For Hillary to make these statements are very dismissive. Hillary, by staying in this race, is only going to drive the wedge deeper and deeper between White voters and Black voters. Black people and White people want the same things. Better health care, cheaper gas, less inflation, to not be at war – none of these things are race exclusive. There is not a single black, white, puerto rican, chinese, etc... person in this country that wants to pay more for gas or not be able to afford health care. I don't care who's in the White House if they can change, for the better, what's been going on for the last 8 yrs.

Welcome to the real america! When all is said and done, it still is about race. I defended this country by serving 26 years in the military, and am ashamed for my country, and the entire political process. Will america ever rise above its racist foundation? My fellow military brothers and sisters are dying every day, so that Mrs. Clinton has the right to be a racist!

Polls mean nothing! If anyone knows anything about polls, they would know that a screening of 500-1000 people have absolutely no bearing on the nation as a whole! The standard deviation for error between 500-1000 and 1,000,000 – 5,000,000 is astronomical!

Look at some facts! Iowa, majority white, polls showed HRC would win, but she didn't and Obama did!

I am white, a college grad, and have supported Obama since he decided to run!

This is just utterly rediculous. HRC is holding on to straws! Pandering to voters on the gas tax that would hurt more than help, saying if she were a republican she would already be the nominee, hello, it's a race for the democratic nomination. Hoping on Florida and Michigan, which the blame for that is their states legislature of moving their primaries up after the DNC warned them not to! Now HRC because she is losing wants to cry foul? And now, making this an issue of race, disgusting!

She may think she is best to lead the nation, but after what, 45 primaries and caucuses, looks like America wants Obama! Can you say, living in a fairy tale??

There was a time I was inclined to support Hillary as I am a woman in her age group who has also had to fight to get where I am. However, her racially divisive remarks are extremely disappointing and, quite frankly, disgusting. I'm not sure I could vote for her at this point even if she does pull the nomination out of the hat.

The Clintons just LOVED Black Voters when they put THEM into the Whitehouse.

They SPIT in their Faces and expected them to keep up the support??

There are not enough Black Voters in the Whole USA to have put Obama where he is it took MILLIONS of Whites and Other open minded mature and Patriotic Citizens to do that. The SAME people who have NOT chosen her and she cannot deal with it.

Think about it folks....is that how you want the PRESIDENT of the United States to respond? She is intentionally trying to divide the country for her own gain! It reminds me of her statement that the US would "obliterate" Iran.

She is not presidential and she scares me.

Hillary gets the white vote like John McCain gets the Civil War veterans vote.

This is a bunch of bull. Hillary is desperate and beginning to look foolish. She just "obliterated" her chances of pulling the democratic party together.

Thank goodness Barack is above all that junk that Hillary speaks of.

Yawn. It's simply not true.

Come on people, THINK! It is the goal of every politician to pursue each and every vote. IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE POLITICIANS THAT A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION VOTE FOR THEM!!!! THAT IS THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT SAY THAT OBAMA IS RACIST BECAUSE HE GETS 90% OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE, YOU ARE BRAIN DEAD!!! He has never said that "Blacks prefer him." That is tantamount to political suicide. There are blacks, whites, hispanics, and asian people in this country. She has just alienated a good portion of the Democratic party. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT SHE WANTS TO DESTROY THE PARTY NOW!!! NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE!!!

Why this can be seen as "race baiting":

She wasn't just saying she has support from more white voters; she was saying she gets more white voters, so she should be the nominee. Forget the fact that he has more overall support and more delegates. She should win because she has mre support from the only group that matters – white voters.

Also, equating white voters with working, hard working Americans.

Plus, she is wrong, according to the numbers.

There's no way she said these things by accident.

By the way, you can say Rev. Wright is racist, but can someone tell me one thing that Obama himself said that is racist?

The complaints about the percentage of AA voting for Obama is rather funny. Until the South Carolina primary, the black vote was going to Clinton and the white vote was going to Obama.

Once Bill opened his mouth and insulted AAs for voting for Obama in higher numbers after the South Carolina primary, there was a blowback. So really the major push towards Obama by AA is thanks to Bill.

Whites are still voting for Obama.

Which is why he is winning!

Or really? Clinton has broader base... why can't she win then...

Hillary Clinton is like a BAD RASH...that just won;t go away.

Whenever things don't get Hillary's way, she brings out a big plate of sour grapes. It's so clear that she does not give a darn about America and Americans. If she did, she'd bow out of the race and help her party. Is she a Republican in Democrat's clothing?

Maybe Hillary should pull a Tyra Banks and actually work a week in a factory and actually do hard work. Muss that helmet hairdo.

go ahead and play the race card ,again.the fact is ,obama's supporters are not just black.i'm white,and about as hillbilly as you can get in arkansas,and i registered months ago ,to vote for obama.obama's supporters have always been a coalition of all walks of life.hillary has lost this election ,because she has sought to divide the party,the same way she has sought to divide the nation,along party lines.this is the reason our gov't has been stagnant,for so long.that's why it's time for a change.and rick,if obama said that ,it's just a reflection of actual numbers.this is a way to divide the party,even more,and the reason why she should drop out ,now.SUPER'S!PUT AN END TO THIS DIVISIVENESS,BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

HRC said "support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me"

From a conservative this would outrageous, from a Democrat it close to obscene. She has basically said that African-Americans are not hard working, only white Americans are. This white old guy who used to hope for a HRC Presidency just hopes she unbridles her ego and goes the heck away. FAST!

minutes of fame left:

12...11...10...9...8...7...6...5...

add 10 for bigotry and racism

15...14...13...12...

we need an end to this ticking timebomb

You have probably lost more Black Americans than he have White.

Here we go! Silly Hillary time. Let's see how the media handle this one.

I would like to comment on Senator Clinton's comments about Barrack Obama losing the white american vote. I think she's getting desperate. That was a ignorant remark. She doesn't realize that some white republicans might vote for Barrack too. I am a republican and I am impressed with Barrack Obama. So Ms. Clinton does not have her hand on the pulse of America as she thinks.

Hey Linda,

As it turns out, the Blacks were right all along ... and you can't spell.

Sad. Hillary is so desperate to win she stops at nothing. Now the race card? Shame. I am a white woman and I don't want her. Nothing would change if she won because she has the Washington establishment ingrained in her, and will say anything to win. Really sad. Hope the delegates are listening to this devisive comment. I will vote for McCain if the delegates do not play fair.

It is only a shame that the majority of people making comments and voting in primaries only seem to rely on what the media has to say. They listen to people's opinions and make sole judgments not based on their own thought or investigation. So, she should drop out and we should just let Florida and Michigan voters be left in the cold ? So, really, we are not the United States ? Tell me people, who would be ahead now, or tied if Florida and Michigan delegates were seated ? What is the rush to determine a nominee ? It is better that this play out so long. Choosing a Presidential candidate is not a game. This is the most important decision this country is making. If you think BO is the best choice, then I say you are being swayed by the media. Stop and think about it for a minute. It will further divide this country and cause a possible civil war.

Hillary is right on. College age and probably close to 30 will vote for
Obama, but I am 59, from the south, and regardless of what Obama
doesn't believe about people like me voting for him, I can guarantee
you that My husband and I, our three daughters and their husbands,
my sister-in-law and her husband will vote for Obama when HELL
freezes over. He needs to take that smirk and cocky attitude and give
it an attitude adjustment. If Hillary is not the nominee, we all will vote
for John McCain even though as a democrat it is painful to talk about,
much less follow through on. Keep fighting Hillary, I'm with you all
the way!!!!!!

Based on most recent comments of Hilary – is she saying that her supporters are mostly uneducated white racists? Who is the "elitist" now? or is she showing her true colors!

In the area Ilive in that is not correct they don't want to see her in office .

How sad! How can she be a president when she is already dividing us even more. It is time to go home.....Hill

Oh My God – This is really the last straw – For those who care – I am a white female educated worked my whole life and still do 60+ year old who thinks that this is the LAST STRAW. If she wanted to absolutely INSURE a division in the party this outta do it. Wow! Makes my head spin!

STOP HILLARY, JUST STOP.

I AM A WHITE WOMAN, AND KNOW MANY "WHITE PEOPLE" WHO ARE ALLLLLLLLLLLLL FOR OBAMA.

OH AND BY THE WAY– LOOKS LIKE HILLARY IS ACTUALLY LOSING WHITE VOTERS–SHE USED TO HAVE 65% AND NOW HAS 60%.... HUMM....INTERESTING...

ARE THERE ANY DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AT ALL????????

STOP THIS WOMAN NOW BEFORE THIS PARTY IS DESTROYED. SHE HAS GONE TOO FAR, ACT AS RESPONSIBLE LEADERS AND LET HER QUIT!!!!
THE PARTY WAS IN EXISTENCE BEFORE THE CLINTONS CAME!!!!
PELOSI, REID, GORE, ANY GOOD LEADERS OUT THERE ACT NOW PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Sen. Clinton has sealed the deal for this white American male: I will NEVER support her for any office. I am ashamed of the Clinton, which is something I thought I would never have to say.

Of course, my opinion will mean nothing to Sen. Clinton; I am a college graduate!

Here's another white woman for Barack and NOT for Hillary!

what a bunch of rubbish.. i'm a white male and i supporty barak obama. nearly everyone i know, regardless of their race, supports barak obama. this is just another last-ditch attempt from hillary to try and persuade the superdelegates. its over, lady!

This is hilarious. The wife of our first black president touting her white support. Who can take this party seriously, except for the generic "Texas White Woman."

Clinton is just so full of it. She continues to say and do anything to avoid admitting that she has lost. She can look in the mirror to get the answer as to why. She needs the get off the stage. Hey New York, will you promise to elect her again if she just goes away?

Very true. The truth hurts. Get over it Obama. The next few months will be a trying time for this country.

Her comments along with some of the others, including Bill's comments, are a lot worst than Rev. Wright.

So her argument for staying in the race now is that Obama is too BLACK! Shameful. Disgusting.

Hillary believes she can win back the BLACK voters while Obama will not be able to win the WHITE voters. Suggesting that by BLACK you are INFERIOR but if your WHITE you have magic wand that is more persuasive! If that ain't racist, than I don't know what is!

One of the reasons they have tried to stay a top the frail on the Rev. Wright issue is because all a long they were using and wanting to use more the race card to steal the nomination. So they avoiding criticizing Rev. Wright too harshly because it would mean they would have to held to the same level of standard.

Every pundit has said Hillary and even McCain can not beat Obama unless the turn it into a WHITE vs. BLACK election.

Now we see Hillary's true color. Actually we've already known her true colors all along – it's just now she is not trying to hide it.

Shame on you Hillary!

If blacks are voting for Obama, it is not racist. And if Hillary mentioned
whites are voting for her, it is shameful and being a racist. Don't you think this is double standard? I am not either, and I am voting for the most qualified and experienced candidate, and Obama is not ..

Oh my GOD!!! Hillary Clinton has just expressed what I suspected all along. She is a racist. She is happy and comfortable with making race an issue in this election. I always suspected that her number-one "smoke-filled room" argument to the superdelegates is that whites won't vote for Barack Obama. Well, I no longer have to suspect it; I know it. We all know it. Hillary Clinton has no business being in the Democratic Party. I believe that level of racism can easily be found in the Republican Party. However, I'm inclined to suggest that maybe she should join the Nazi Party.

Yeah, most people who listen to Rush Limbaugh are white.

Forget the racist angle...how about the fact that it's NOT TRUE!! Her share of the white vote has been steadily DECLINING. Just look at the numbers quoted in the posting.

She is the greatest divider of her own party. Who vote for her in NY whenshe got the nomination? Is she blind because NY is the most cosmopolit city in the world.. She is stupid...

God is working out somethig for this Nation.
His will shall be done.

I know people will just see my comment as a Obama supporter but I really believe Senetor Clinton goes too far. I do not believe she is racist or a bigot. I think she is very intelligent, btw, she did go to Wellesley and Yale. I think she is calculating and is willing to bruise, maybe even hurt people in order to get the nomination. She is right, Obama has had a problem getting through to certain demographics but she knows that what and how she says this can offend people. I think she needs to think what will happen if, after all of this, she is the nominee. She has alienated African Americans and student voters. I know people think we will continue to support the Democrats no matter what but what if we just stay home, together those are large voting blocks and if the Democratic nominee loses them, the small town vote may go to McCain and the Democrat loses anyway.

I know lots of people are upset that African Americans are voting, in large numbers, for Obama. I know people think we do it just because he's black. This is not the total case, after all most African Americans did not support Alan Keyes, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Shirley Chisolm or Carol Mossely Braun. African Americans vote for Obama because not only is he black, he's highly intelligent, educated, a wonderful speaker and motivator. He's taught at University of Chicago's Law School and been in the Illinois State Senate working for equal quality of life for residents in poor areas of Chicago. Also he's seen as sign that we as African Americans are finally, just possibly, Americans.

After Tuesday's primaries, I finally started to think maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea if they went on the same ticket, considering back in Adams/Jefferson day second place was vice-president. But when she makes comments like this, it makes me think she could really care less about moving this country forward. She's rather win through racial divide than lose in harmony. And that's truly upsetting.

'White Americans want me'.

Not all of us, and guess what – nobody wants someone who continues to impede the process of our country coming together – no matter what ethnicity people are.

Another reason I don't think Hilary is the right candidate – she should have had more respect for herself during the Lewinski scandal. To stand there and say nothing, wow. To stand by while her husband lied to her, who knows how many times, then lie 'outright' to the country, then be tried for lying, wow. But after all that to just take it – stand up for yourself or else how do we know you can stand up for us.

I seeeee youurrrr truuuuueeee colooorrrrsss shiiiinnniinnngg throuuuughh! LOL She is in Operation November Kamikazee mode!!!

IThe first time I felt Hilary was this sort of person was during her tearful comment in New Hampshire.I did smell a rat then and to be honest, this comment does not surprise me.Pressure always brings a squeeze and if you squeeze a toothpaste tube what do you get ? I f you squeeze Hilary what do you get ?

"The respect I had for her is now gone."

Duh... you had RESPECT for her??????????

Great, Hillary! May as well not skirt the issue- keep making the case that a black man can't win, and that you have the corner on the racist wing of the democratic party. Pathetic.

Was that the sound of the "Race Card" being dealt? You are killing your chances of a run on 2012.

Judy

If you truly believe that white people want Hilary and black people want Obama only because he is black, maybe its time for you to open your eyes. I am sick of living in a country in which there is great racial divide. I personally do not care that Obama is an african american man or that Hilary is caucasion. By electing Obama into office, I hope that this country can take a major step towards finally eliminating the cancer of racism that has plagued this country for many years. As Americans, if we all made an effort to look at one another without discriminating based on the color of one's skin, we can make great progress into the future of America. Lets get past the mistakes of the past and move forward as a united nation for the rest of the world to emulate. If Obama was red, green or purple, I would still vote for him because he represents the hcange that this country truly needs.

All elitest whites how many of youy go to black churches or live in black neighborhoods: BO won the whitest of states and the blackest of states as far as the democrat primary voters makeup (how about the racially mixed states: he did not win them: CA?NY?FL?MI?

IT's obama who played the game and got all the black vote.

Never O...b/c I cannot stand the obama Kool-aid drinkers! not b/c I am white

She is absolutely right , Obama campaign can't keep touting the support from black Americans and not to expect the opponent to feed into it.
Obama was very devious when he first played the race card against Clinton ( without reason ) , because that was his strategy to get the black vote behind him.
It worked but it also caused a rift and division in the party .
So much for being a uniter.
Obama is a phoney and will be exposed for what he really is all about.
Hopefully it won't be too late..!!

Hillary is just stating the truth and the polls reflect that as do the results from the primaries that have been held so far...the Obama supporters are so quick to call Hillary a racist and yet they don't have anything to say about Obama staying in that church of hate for 20 years...being friendly with Ayers..the Rezco slum issues...etc...there is a lot of baggage there that is being ignored...who knows what else is still in Obamas closet that will be disclosed...and with him getting 90 percent of the black vote....try and tell me that is not because he is a black man...he has no clear message for our country...all he has is a lot of rhetoric...he and his supporters are the divisive ones...and I am so sick of hearing that Hillary has gone negative again just because she states the facts and the differences between them...yet Obama can and does say anything he wants and doesn't get called on it....try and tell me about bias...Obama has been the favorite..the golden boy of the news sites...that is the only reason he is ahead...I am sure there are lots of voters who voted early on that wish they could have there votes back...just like me...I used to support him but the more I find out about him...the more I want Hillary to win.

Bill Clinton's face was beet red the night of the Ind-NC primary. These people are too desperate to get into the White House. We're all sick of this. This white, female, educated 58 year old is voting for Obama. So is my husband who is a member of a union in Minnesota.

Just sad......................................):

Wow this will just go over "peachy" with the black vote.

Wow Billary is like that over the hill athelete that just doesn't realize it is time to exit stage left. Time for the Superdelegates to act as a pet owner and take this campaign to the vet to put it down.

I think Obama's rep Bill Burton is a bit deluded!

Bill Burton's comments on Emil Jones, Jr. statement that blacks not act like "crabs in a barrel" and drag down Obama's candidacy? Oh, he's just a "mentor of the Senator" but won't comment on the speech.

Disgraceful...and disheartening to see any politician so shameless.

I am a 49-year old white woman who also works in a white-collar job.
Obama still has my vote!!!

Hillary is really trying to mess up the race for all democrats and Barack Obama. She is clearly not going to receive the nomination and comments like this just help to make the party more divided. I hope white voters will come out in support and show Mrs. Clinton that she is wrong. Lets stop throwing out race in the campaign and lets talk about REAL politics!

We now have a new way to identify racists in America: Someone who wants Hillary to win but says they'll vote for McCain if she doesn't get the nod. There can only be one explanation.

As an American citizen, I am saddened by Hillary Clinton's comments as they are derived from the unsavory philosophy of 'white fright" that is deeply rooted in America's history. Surely, she realizes the true measure of a champion is the ability to knowing when he or she is defeated. Is her individual desire to win at any cost more important than the needs of the Democratic Party to win in November?

For all the people writing that Obama gets 90% of black vote and that is racist I want you to remember that Bill Clinton and John Kerry also got over 92% of black vote.......is that racist too.

She is really losing her mind!

Democrats never carry the white rural vote during the general election. What makes her think that she can all of a sudden get this vote. When the Democrats choose the "Obvious" nominee they are going to win the general election because America is really sick and tired of the whats going on in Washington.

African-American may have voted for Obama at 90-93%, but we had supported many good white candidates like John Kerry, Al gore, and Bill Clinton. Yes, Whites do go for Hillary 10-15% more, but Obama does not tout this! They just did not win, and for Hillary Clinton to come out and say it.

What a devisive person. If she hasn't shown it already, she certainly has today with this comment.

Nancy Pelosi is considered a closet Obama supporter because of a remark she made when initially asked about the Obama/Clinton/Clinton/Obama dream ticket. She said that she couldn't imagine that ticket because Hillary herself stated that McCain was more qualified to be president than Obama. That was Pelosi reacting from the initial shock that a democratic candidate would tout the credentials of a rival party member during a presidential campaign season over a colleague candidate. She was stating in her own way that Clinton was hurting the party chances in the fall by making a statement like that and Pelosi was just expressing her shock over such a statement.

Now Clinton says this and I'm sure Pelosi is not longer surprised! I got over Clinton's McCain versus Obama remark, but now, as she continues to stay in, she continues to make statements that cripple the democrats' chances in the fall. This doesn't just affect the presidential campaign, but all the down-ticket campaigns as well. Clinton does not care about any of this. She cares about winning and if not now, than in 2012, and to hell with her fellow democrats.

She is a purely selfish candidate and I'm ashamed that I once considered voting for her. She's a disgrace to the party and to the people of this country who look for sound leadership to bring us out of the current turmoil we're in.

Clinton will have defections to Obama over comments like this. She will also have her die-hard supporters, who, just like her, don't care what happens to this country, but only care that she becomes president by any means necessary. I write off these people who will vote for McCain if Clinton is not nominated as just a selfish, self-serving and uncaring as Clinton herself. These are the types of people that the HRC campaign has attracted and this just further proves to me, by their behavior, that Clinton is a self, devisive, rutheless climber who only cares about herself. The fact that she attacts this kind of following tells me everything I need to know.

OBAMA!!!!!!!! OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVER 90% BLACK VOTED FOR BARACK, IF YOUR BLACK YOU BETTER BE FOR BARACK.

OVER 60% WHITES VOTE FOR CLINTON, IF YOU SUPPORT CLINTON IT IS BECAUSE SHE WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT!.

AND THAT'S A FACT JACK!

GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEAD "HILLARY"
you WILL NEVER BE COMANDER IN CHEIF of the most powerful
arm forces on this planet. No woman will, history has shown us all,
so go back to the senate (BTY) where no one cares and answer the phone when President Obama CALLS ON YOU.

I'm also a 50 year old white man and I find this comment offensive. I have felt she that during this primary season she had made cold cynical political decisions based on what she thinks people want to hear, not based on internal beliefs. I certainly hope that is the case in this instance and doesn't reflect her internal feelings.

The last 24 hours I keep hearing the uncommitted superdelegates say Sen. Clinton has the right run as long as she wants and this won't hurt the party. WRONG - this garbage certainly hurts. If somehow she gets the nomination, I don't know if I will refuse to vote for president or hold my nose and vote for McCain. I have never voted for a republican presidential candidate, and I have voted since 1976. I never thought I would consider it after 8 years of Bush!

This white New Yorker just wants her to go home – to Arkansas. Go away. Crawl back under your rock and leave us in peace. I want to read a newspaper without seeing you in it.

I don't blame her for saying it Obama and his surrogates have been playing the race card this entire time. His ridiculous speech on race did nothing but broaden the divide and anyone not supporting him was called a racist. It's not about color or gender it's about choosing the best candidate and she is the best candidate. Obama is not qualified to be president and he is unelectable. Vote smart, vote Clinton.

It's stupid. Everything she says is irrelevant. She's finished, and I don't understand why she thinks she still has a chance.

GIVE UP HILLARY.

I'm 64, white, live in the Midwest and I will vote for Obama as will my friends who share my demographics – it's not that simple is it, Hillary?

Yes, Hillary. Play the race card. You are white, so you get the white vote. Brilliant!

I can excuse HRC, I would say some stupid stuff if the ship I was on was sinking.

I seeeee youurrrr truuuuueeee colooorrrrsss shiiiinnniinnngg throuuuughh! LOL

Heading into W.V and Kentucky in which Parents are also siblings she is pandering to the rednecks.

Her rallies this week will be at cross burnings.

Aint she grand. So dericive, So devicive, So devoid.

WOW...I'm a 37 y/o WHITE female who is college educated and voted for Barack. My mother is 70 y/o and voted for Barack and she worked in the blue collar industry for most of her adult life. BTW – Barack won the all "white people" county here in Indiana that my parents live and it is made up of mostly blue collar workers.

They are true whether Obama's campaign wants to admit it or not. White people all over this country are seeing the 90% + black vote going for Obama and know how racist that is. They hear angry comments from black people about how now "the country is going to give us what they owe us" and so on. And they feel that black people are voting fairly in this contest and are voting race only. Naturally there's going to be backlash against that. Especially when you throw Michelle Obama's comments, Barack's own comments in S.F., his lack of ease around these lower income white people (and he thinks his grandmother has an issue – so does he in the opposite direction), Mr. Wright and on and on. You put all this stuff in a pot, stir it up and you get what many people have known for a long time – Barack Obama will NOT be President. He WILL NOT get this lower income white vote. And it has nothing to do with racism, rather it is a backlash , in part against BLACK RACISM. It isn't and never has been the Clinton's that brought up race – they have simply noted what black people have been doing in this political race......and they're right and whites across the country have been watching and noting the same thing. We all heard about the possible "black out" if Hillary was nominated and many thought – "how about if we have a "white out" if Obama wins the nomination? It's all a reaction to what we see the black community doing.

Why are so many seemed surprised by Hillary's comments?
This is very Clintonian: self-serving, it's-all-about-me. The ghost of Monica Lewinski coming back to haunt?

But I don't want Osama, Obama, or Chelsea's Mama!.

Go McCain!!
(Betcha CNN won't publish this.)

Way to polarize the country Hilary!!! The writing is on the wall and it's time for you to pack up your pantsuits and head back up to Westchester County. You talk about average Americans and what they need and want for the future....what would you know about "average" anything? You, and your husband, will do anything possible to get what you want, and that happens to be the house that "WE, THE PEOPLE" own. Give this thing a rest and allow the party the time to try to gather their wits about them and get the support that will be needed to win this thing......

This is getting ridiculous. And how dare you insinuate that no other support counts that white rural Americans! If HRC did make these statements, then that is the most divisive, racially toned remark I have heard! It insinuates that her supporters are all white, and they are the only ones that matter. I am insulted and appalled by such blatant and derogatory remarks. I can't believe she thinks like that!

Bonnie – heads up! You sound like a moron.

Hillary hangs onto the support of these under-educated, racist, genuinely ignorant Americans – wow – nice claim to fame! I have faith that the intelligent people of this country clearly see through Hillary's perpetual twisting and spinning of facts and figures. If she somehow connived her way to the Democratic nomination, I would have to WRITE-IN Barack Obama's name on election day.

I had been undecided, but just made my decision. Mr. Obama, you have my vote.

If you think this is bad, wait until the Republicans have at him. As Get Real said, you can't win if you criticize Obama because it will always be interpreted as racism. That's why the press tip-toed around him so much in the beginning.

I don't think its as racist as it is divisive. Racism is more of an act or saying something with the intent to belittle another group of people. White people voting for Clinton isn't racist. Black people voting for Barack isn't racist.

Expecting people to vote for you and being put in office because your in the ethnic majority isn't racist. It's anti-democratic and anti-meritocracy. Let's call it what it is.

So she wants to win this thing by creating a racial divide? When will people wake up. Is this country to be brought to its knees by Americans without college educations? This is soooo sad. Is this a divide and conquer strategy because it sure seems like it? This woman will not unite this country which is clear because it is not even a theme in her speeches. She just panders to two groups of people: blue collar white conservatives (poor white people without college educations) and white women (preferrably over 60 years old). Can you see the common theme here? Yup, you guessed it. WHITE. I don't like to generalize because within those demographics there a many good people but I fear that there is still some prejudice within this group and its coming out in the way they are voting with a lack of credible arguments to justify their actions. All I hear is "I don't trust him" and "He's a snake oil salesman" and my favorite "If she's not the nominee, I'm voting for McCain." That last statement tells me all I need to know. Hillary and Barack have largely the same policies where McCain is completely on the other side of the map. Yet, people are willing to make colossal jump in policy to avoid voting for Barack Obama. Huh? Racism is the ONLY thing that could justify that my friends. You would take either of the white candidates than vote for the black one despite one of the white candidates planning on continuing the same policies of one of the worst presidents in history. WOW. This makes me sad that I should wish certain segments of our society that are either over 60 years old or poor and white to just leave this country I love and take their racial bigotry elsewhere.

I am a 57 year old WHITE woman who cannot stand the sight of this self grandizing, "misspeaking", arrogantly smirking woman candidate.
She should be ashamed of this statement!!! I definitely do not want this woman as our President. I am so proud of our Country for having
welcomed Mr. Obama as the other candidate and hopefuly, if
The "tarmak queen" bows out, the party will have time to rally together
and ward off the "third Bush term".

My 16 year daughter asked me last night if in the voting booth one has to give "their race" before voting. What ever happended to the "human race"? Why does color matter Mrs. Clinton? You have stooped to an all time low!!!!!!

wow! I can't believe she would go this far. I for one am a white female and Obama has my support 100%! I used to think that I would stand by a democrat no matter what but Hillary has completely made a mockery of the party. It's time to bow out and save the chances of a democrat getting into the white house. FACE IT....YOU LOST!

Here is what Obama should do. Finish all the contests, get 50%. and take 100 delegates from the michigan and florida primaries. Let hillary have her wins of "big states". he will still be at 2025 and Hillary will not be the nominee.

Hillary should stay in until she loses. but at the first sign she goes negative then she should be pushed out of th rest by superdelegages. This is not negative, she is stating a fact, most white people, based on polls seem to vote for her, just as most black people, based on the polls seem to vote for him. In NC it was 91% to 6%.........this is a fact, why is this racist? What is wrong with black people voting black but white people cannot vote white? does this mean that white people are not a race?

Poor thing, wait I mean rich thing, elitist, educated, and cheated on by her slick husband.

I suggest Zanax!

"white americans" "WHITE HOUSE" Black President tell me this is not an issue with all americans.......SELFISH, ARROGANCE, STEP DOWN the people have already spoken.
IN SPIRIT
FIRST NATIONS Horse IN CANADA

It is so unfortunate that Mrs Clinton is being racist – the inference to race is obvious: she is white (so vote for me). And in doing so, she is creating a greater divide to the Democrat party that CAN NOT BE REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER!!!

Hillary firmly believes that unless she wins the Democrat nomination, the Democrats will lose. So if she does not win the Democrat nomination, how can she honestly, I REPEAT HONESTLY, support Obama to win in November???

I can see the comment section is over run by Obama nut heads and us Hillary supporters cant get our comments posted.

so I will try again…

Oh..I get it..Its OK for Obama to say African Americans are voting for him and will not vote for her, but Hillary cant say Whites are voting for her? WHAT???

"
Judy May 8th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Hillary is correct, the white people want her. And the only reason that the black people are voting for Obama is because is a a black man that has a chance at being the first black president. I will never vote for him".

"
Linda May 8th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

92 % of blacks voted for his majustice obama, and that isn't racist. The blacks are more racist than whites".

"Adam May 8th, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Unfortunately only african-americans proved to be racists voting over 90 percent for Obama and the race was the main factor for their decision.
That will hurt big time all democrats in the general election"!!!

Hillary 2008!!!!

***************************************************************************
I'm trying to decide which of these post are more Ignorant.
But Hillary did say the under educated voters are her base. and these posters prove that!!!! LOL!LOL! Obama did not get the lead without white voters, Bill Clinton won TWICE because of the African American vote!!!!!
Doesn't really matter what Hillary says....
ITS OVER FOLKS.....WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!

This white, female senior and lifelong Democrat does NOT want Hillary Clinton. More and more, Clinton's showing the worst characteristics of a politician and none of the traits of a statesperson who deserves to represent America and our values.

Many women voted for Hillary Clinton because for the first time, there is a woman running. Do we call that sexist? NO. Women should be proud that they are finally getting a chance to have their view truly represented.

So many African Americans are voting for Obama. It is the first time in over 200 years that they have someone who can truly represent their view.

To call that racist is just wanting to ignore Truth.

White men have been elected over 43 times. Some were open to many opinions others were not. Does that make this nation sexist and racist? I personally do not think so. It just means that those were the folks elected.

But at the same time, people do need to be open to the idea that perspective on life is influenced by the opportunity a person has or does not have. If most people in this country would just take a breath and relax so that they could think, a lot of silliness might be avoided.

I have been saying this for over twenty years. There is no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans when it comes to African America. One choked you to death and the other tickle you to death, but dead is dead. I am not surprised by Hillary (Bill) comments. Arkansas and New York-need I say more......

"YOU'RE A RACIST, HILLARY! BECAUSE YOU QUOTE THE TRUTH FROM THE POLLS!
OBAMA IS NOT A BLACK CANDIDATE! HE JUST HAPPENS TO GET 95% BLACK VOTES AND 35% WHITE VOTES."

Obama supporters are such bigots and hypocrits. They play the race card when it suits them and Obama going to Wright's sermons for 20 years was just not a real topic.

Get real, people should ditch that hypocrit politician from Chicago slums. Electing a president will be the same as another term with Bush.

Hillary Clinton is losing her sanity. She'll stab anyone in the back and that's why she isn't fit to run this country. How low will she go? I think she's already hit bottom.

Hillary said what she felt was right and she said what is a fact, Obama can not get the white vote, and if he doesnt win the nomination, he should put her on the ticket, or she should run as an independent, and make sure he never steps foot in the oval office..

Im an truly sad at this....the clintons have hit a new low

I think people forget that blacks are ONLY 14% of this country....are you telling me that Barack got the most delegates, most states won (like Iowa, Utah etc...with like 2 black people ther) with just the black votes?!?!?

i am truly sad....and I thought she was going to bow out gracefully!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a white woman and I DID NOT vote for her....she needs to check her sources before she makes a claim like that.

OBAMA '08

I have always considered H. Clinton a Republican in Democrat's clothing (albeit designer). Now I think she's just a Republican in Republican's clothing.

Why don't you sign up to be McCain's running mate, Hillary?

HILLary , stop turn around and just leave !!!!!!!!! (yes Obama can )!!!

So does 90% of black people voting for Obama constitute racism to?

Even if you give her the benefit of the doubt and consider her remarks the result of exhaustion or more "misspeaking," they have the very real negative effect of making it look like a significant leader in the democratic Party is a race baiter. And while racism is certainly still alive and well in America, we at least have arrived at a time and place where we no longer condone that mentality. People should call DNC headquarters and demand an official admonishement of her remarks.

Hillary Clinton has officially jumped the shark

Oh my God! If this blatantly racist strain of thought and comment by the wife/First Lady of the so-called "First Black President" doesn't bring out droves of superdelegates to endorse Obama then nothing will. Has she just gone over the edge mentally? If her vaunted white constituency doesn't run screaming from her (much less, her donors), there's no hope for us as a nation. P.S. I'm an over-60, northside Atlanta GA native, white, Anglo-Saxon, Presbyterian and I caucused here in Boulder, CO for Barack Obama. This latest from Hillary only serves to confirm that I did the right thing by backing him.

Like the 68% who voted against her in my home state?

Hillary is simply, plainly, a racist and I question why any non-white would support her.

Let Hillary appeal to the KKK types. Fortunately, even among whites, they are a minority.

Within a generation, all ethnic groups, including whites, will become a minority.

Then people like Hillary who think they can win based on support from racists in their ethnic group will be relegated to the trashcan where they keep the Hitlers of History.

Bye-bye Hillary. I would vote for McCain before you. Take your bitterness and just go.

Rick,

Barack has never said that a majority of African-Americans support him. Quite frankly, that would only be stating the obvious and Hillary should have just kept her mouth shut.

Let also remember that a majority of African-Americans also supported her husband, John Kerry, Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale and Jimmy Carter, and the last time I checked, they were all white.

African-American's won't be the scapegoat for Hillary's failed campaign. If she would have continued to campaign for our vote after South Carolina, she may not have been in the predicament that she finds herself in.

She is a lunatic. Put her in a padded replica of the oval office and tell her she is president.

Not just "White" Americans", All of us hyphenated Americans that believe in the ideals of this country. and reject the foreign elements controlling our country and economy favor Hillary over Obama.

I am no longer a Democrat, but I feel the pain for the party of my parents and grandparents. The extremist have taken over the party and driven us out. Our ideas and votes don't matter anymore. it is about making History whatever that entails, not what is best for our country.

The liberals complain about paying the high prices for Gas and Food etc. yet they put roadblocks in place to keep us from drilling on our own lands, building refineries and using coal or nuclear power to generate electricity.

They rant about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and fail to understand for once in theri lives, the women and female children are being educated in those countries.

They complain about education programs that are failing our children, yet they don't do anything about raising education standards for our teachers.

No we will not support Obama. We love our country too much to allow this wolf in sheeps clothing to destroy our country from within.

I was once a "white american" Clinton supporter, but with this comment I'll have to vote for Obama.

This simply is tragic! I really thought Hillary would turn supportive in light of her losing the nomination on Tuesday. He speech that night left hope for us all. But, here she is again being that negative person and bringing race into the contest once again. Ya, she will not quit which is fine but she is just killing any chance she has or had of becoming a leader in this country. How can she claim she is supportive of Americans and our issues/concerns when she is constantly being divisiive? Just doesn't make any sense but again I am not an old, less educated, blue collar, white female!

Read through the smoke and mirrors people. She is saying this because the next primary is in West Virginia where it is 95% white. She is expected to win that state by a lot. When she does, she will say that it proves her point. Her comments are a "call to arms" for the white voters in WV.

Yet, so many people claim Barack plays the race card. I don't think so.

This is the last straw. Can anyone out there fail to realize that Hillary is suffering from mental health issues? Could any person in their right mind make such statements?

Hillary has now committed the ultimate act of shamelessness, by playing the race card for all to see.

As a hard-working white American, I would say the most notable "emerging pattern" is the pattern of shameless dishonesty on the part of Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's supporters should do this lady a big favor, and get her off the stage before she degrades herself any further.

I am a WHITE hardworking female and I am appalled at Hillary, this IS RACISM!!!!! Nothing else. What we can't have a black president? Are you saying they aren't human enough? You are sick!
I will never ever vote for you, you are a racist P*G!
If I were you I wouldn't even go to Kentucky, you know what
happens to fillys that run a race they shouldn't. This is proof you will never be a politician again. You are completely finished- you are the worst American ever in modern times.

And it's okay for the Obama camp to say you can't win without the African American vote? This is not a racist statement nor divisive. It's been in the news for months now. Just because she said it doesn't change the facts.
This statement is far better then the one Obama's spokesman Plouffe said when asked about racists. He said that they were already voting for McCain.
Ask yourself, if Obama were a white man, would he still be receiving 90% of the african american vote in the primary? And by the way, Gore won 90% of the black vote in the 200 general election and he still lost.....this without disenfranchised MI and FL.

The Clintons should take full responsibility for African Americans overwhelming support for Obama. It is comments like this that have pushed the black vote away from the clintons. It began in Iowa with her campaign releasing e-mails saying he was a Muslim, New Hampshire when black voters was supporting Hillary not because of what she did for them but because of Bill and then New Hampshire and the fairytale comment, South Carolina the Jesse Jackson comment,Hillary minimizing Martin Luther Kings role with the voting rights act. Bob Johnson and other surrogates making racist comments. All strategic in an attempt to make the quote "black" rather post-racial candidate.

African Americans by in large are sick of the clintons attempt to destroy Obama because she felt entitiled to this nomination.

I am a 65 year old white woman, still working full time and not college educated. According to Hillary someone like me would not vote for Obama but I did!

It's the truth.

Why is OK for everyone to say that Obama is getting the black vote, but NOT OK for anyone to say that Hillary is getting the white vote?

She is basically calling hardworking Blue Collar workers RACISTS.

This woman is totally dangerous, and is a complete BIGOT!

This is how Bill lost the African American vote. We can now clearly say that if this person somhow gets the nomination...

AFRICAN AMERICANS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HER!

RACIST BIGOT!

I guess by reading my name, you know who I am supporting according to Hillary...thats correct I am for Obama....but back to this "I'm building a coalition of hard-working white Americans" which according to the news are uneducated are the people voting for her......If you are by any means proud she is touting that you are UNEDUCATED voters then maybe you aren't reading through the lines that she is playing on your ignorance and telling you want you want to hear and I bet you are the same people who fell for the gas tax gimmick....WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!! Do your own research and stop believing what people only want you to know..... And you wonder why other countries are ahead in education we rely to much on others to get the facts instead of getting them ourselves......

WILL THE REAL SUPER DELEGATES PLEASE STAND UP AND SIT HILLARY CLINTON DOWN!!!

WHAT ARE THEY AFRAID OF? WHY ARE THEY CONTINUING TO LET THAT NARCISSIST STAY IN THE RACE?

HRC put herself on the same level as Rush Scumbaugh

She's really losing it. Stick a fork in her!

Super delegates: It's time to get this over and shut her up.

Another 50-ish white guy for Obama...

hillary would take the whole country down with her.... at least now we can see what kind of president she would have made, without actually letting that happen....

the clintons are bad news. dont let the disasterous bu$h presidency cast a favorable light on them

Hillary, Follow Great White's advice "Don't go away mad, just go away".
Then follow their lead, and burn yourself down. David Duke, She wants to join your club.

This is a sad day in America when this race is being turned into a big racial circus. I think that it is just wrong for Hillary to be out there making polarizing statements like this. Where were the racial statements when blacks voted overwhelmingly for her husband in 92 and 96. The truth of the matter is that African Americans have been voting for the qualified white candidate of choice for years. Now all of a sudden when there is a qualified black candidate who has captured the hearts and imaginations of people of all races, we want to turn this thing into a big racial circus. Hillary, I think you need to drop out of the race because you have gone off the deep end. So what if white people decide to stay at home and not come out to vote for the black candidate. Then they will have to live with 8 more years of Republican nonsense and mismanagement. This is not the America that I once was proud of.

Obama can not win, folks.

You all sound like a bunch of bitter babies. Jobless internet hacks that have nothing better to do all day.

Being called a" typical white woman" by Obama is not racist?

Obama can not win without Clinton. Believe it. He may get the nomination, but he won't win.

I was in support of you staying in until June but maybe you should leave now. You never hear Obama saying that Clinton as been losing the support of black votes, or people who attended college so she should drop out because we need them in the fall..have you and he is in the LEAD?

We need ALL democrats to beat McCain. No one group should be treated more importantly than the other. If we are going to play that game then we should just blow the entire party up and divide it up into as many groups as those exit polls do (rurual, white, black, asian, catholic, jews, gays, gun owners, beer drinkers, bowlers, etc).

i just don't know why:

I can actually understand in some perverted way, if she was saying it because the'pundits' kept beating her over the head with the loss of the black vote. She is losing her composure. Somebody stop her runaway train!!!

HRC – I cannot believe that anybody would want or even think about voting for this person after this event. She wants to be president so badly that she will say anything and do the most absurd – to make people forget about the "good ole days of the Clinton presidency" – all the lies and problems and things that happened during that period. She wants us to believe that she is for middle America and she thinks that we all drink Crown Royal, we have Blackberry's and cannot turn them off at home and that she will win the nomination by getting only the largest states including Florida and Michigan (even though these two states broke the rules and do not deserve to have their delegates seated for not obeying the rules that were set forth by the DNC.) HRC is so out of touch that she now claims that "white people want me in the White House" – so does that mean that every person that is not white – that they do not really count since none of the voters for Barrack Obama know what they are doing – according to HRC. She is not ready to be Commander in Chief on day one – being a wife of the president does not prepare you for being president (she would not have taken over if Bill Clinton was unable to fulfill his term) she would have stepped aside and Mr. Gore would have done what was needed.

The Democratic Party needs to unite and unite now – HRC needs to stop damaging the party and hurting the chances to win in Nov 2008. This continued line of mis-spoken words and actions is destroying the credibility of the party and if somebody does not put an end to the game – then we can kiss the next four years goodbye and continue the next era of the Good Ole Boy Network and see where that leads America.

Those of us who live in the wonderbread states of Minnesota, Vermont, Wisconsin, Iowa, and North Dakota have loudly declared our support for Obama! So HRC's pathetic race baiting is not working.

I find it astounding how racists can justify their bigotry. Blacks make up 12% of the total US population... and yet, Barack Obama is *only* winning the Democratic primary because blacks are voting for him.

So are we to believe that blacks are more equal than whites because they have more than one vote... or is it possible that whites are also voting for Obama. Is it possible that the reason some whites are *not* voting for Obama is because they are racist?

Think about this – if all blacks and many whites... and many women... vote for him, then he has wide appeal. If only whites vote for Clinton, then she does *not* have wide appeal.

What happens to the demographics if we remove the white racists from Clinton's voters? Not so easy to do. If you color all blacks who vote for Obama as racist, then why can't you color all whites who vote for Clinton as racist? Or all women as sexist?

The critical thinking skills of the average American needs some work, it seems. And Clinton appears to definitely be appealing to those who are 'uneducated'.

Hillary Clinton "WHITE AMERICA UNITE!"

Does this sound like the death knell? The Dean "YeeeeHaaa!"

Oh, and will the last Hillary supporter left please turn out the lights?

The race card. How very disappointing! I am an older, white, educated female who will never, ever support the Clinton's after that statement. As a woman, I want to see a female in the White House, just not this female. However, we should wait until all the primaries are over. HRC will destroy herself by then.

ouch!

Too sad to openly make such a comment. She knows she cannot win rather suggesting that she staying to deeply divide America on racial lines. What a would be president. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on HRC. Not worthy to contest public office.

I'm a White male in Mississippi, and I want Obama!
It's time to unify, not divide. It's over for the HillBilly.

OBAMA 2008! Yes. We. Can.

According to the CNN analysis of the Indiana results, the African-American population made up less than 17% of the primary voters. Latinos made up less than 2%. Whites made up some 78% of the voters in the primary. Even with capturing more than 95% of the African-American vote, that is still 95% of the 17% total. Senator Clinton is ignoring the large numbers of white voters that voted for Senator Obama. The logic that a U. S. Senator and presidential candidate would make such an inflammatory and ignorant statement is a reflection on the sheer pandering and desperation of her candidacy.

This is a sad day in America. She is presupposing that all White Americans are racist! SHE has indeed hit rock bottom.

THESE VERY WORDS ARE GOING TO HAUNT HER FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!!

Time to go HRC.

Im a white male American, not to mention Im a registered Republican.....and I'm voting for Obama...sorry Hil, give it up!

You people are calling her a racist and bigot. In every state so far, the majority of black voters are voting for Obama. What does anyone even know about him other than he is black.

Racism is alive and well in America and it's being perpetuated by blacks across the nation.

Wow..... so is the white vote the onle vote that matters?

What about what Americans want! Not White Americans, African Americans, or Mexican Americans, just red white and blue Americans... that is the onle color that should matter....

Hillary I hope this comment is the final nail... Wake up people its time for change.

He couldn't have gotten this far without the 'white' ENLIGHTENED voter, thankfully there are so many out there.

We may never know if more whites are voting for Hillary because she's white, or if more blacks are voting for Obama because he's black.
Cast every vote, count every vote, then declare a winner. The media coverage calling for her to get out just hurts Obama because it angers her supporters. He'll need them to win.
Nobody plays the race card as much as the media. Division and controversy sells more stories.

Why is hard working Americans only been linked to white Americans? Are white americans the only ones that have jobs and provide for their family. I think the comment made by Senator Clinton is the type of thinking that continues to keep this country divided by race.

she's just reiterated what rev wright said in his sermon. If it was wrong then, its wrong now. Its very sad.

This woman is so divisive it's hard to come up with a statement concerning her without being dragged into her mindset. The Clinton's are power-hungry zealots! I guess that opposite of her statement is the blacks do not want her. Since when did America become black and/or white? I'm neither black or white. I'm a brown skinned Mexican-American and offended to the marrow that she even represents America as a member of the Senate. Her statements will bring smiles to the likes of the KKK and other hate groups. We'll then begin the Civil War all over again, only 2008-style!

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney take note. You kept telling us the insurgency was in its "death throes". You were wrong every time. THIS is what someone in their death throes looks like, gentlemen.

Someone put a muzzle on this lady, please.

This is really making me sick with all this race stuff, Hillary I have a question for you If Obama needs to win all of the white votes why you don't have to win all the black votes, thats why black people are voting for Obama because statements like this I was voting for Hillary because I felt like what Bill did for the black community was great now I see Bill and Hillary are like apples and oranges she won't listen to him or anyone else, the black community is doing what others say we couldn't do for years and thats stick together, with negative statements like that you will never get black votes, and if you open up your eyes you would notice it is some white people thats voting for Obama we are not doing this by ourselves thats what you call real American people that looks past race (We Are Ready For Change Hillary)

She is pathetic.

Hillary Clinton is a sore loser...........or beyond that just a plain LOSER

Sick. To. My. Stomach.

Nice to have you back on the dark side. I can feel your anger, let the white power flow. Welcome home.

These comments by Senator Clinton are distressing to us have long admired her grit and tenacity. They undermine those of us who have worked their entire teaching careers to have students make judgements about people based upon merit and not superficial differences like "color". I am disappointed.

I am a middle-aged, white women in West Virginia that has NEVER considered Hilliary as a candidate for the Presidency. The more she speaks the worse she gets. She evidently guzzles beer and liquor, she has the most horrific ideas for Iran, she supported the NAFTA agreement that has made jobs almost non-existent in WV, and I could go on and on. If by some miracle Hilliary would win the nomination and then the Presidency, God help America! I support Barrack Obama because his ideas will turn our country around. Just because he isn't the normal pandering candidate does NOT mean he isn't qualified for the job, look at the votes and states he has so far, he will be our next President.

Hillary Mistakes

1. She misjudged the mood
2. She didn't master the rules
3. She underestimated the caucus states
4. She relied on old money
5. She never counted on a long haul

These call from her own mouth. She know it's over and know she can't win. She would rather have McCain win instead of Obama, now what does say about her. Where is the unity. Hillary supporters!

When it comes to which candidate has done more for African Americans – the CLINTONS – both of them – WIN HANDS DOWN!
To call them "racist" is a travesty and proves so many OBAMA supporters are ignorant. Great! the next president could be elected by racists, misogynists, and idiots! God Bless America!

You should post this as a headline...

"HILLARY LOSING SMART AMERICANS."

Clintons playing the race card? YES WE WILL!

This is one of the very reasons she WILL NOT be the nominee.

OLD SCHOOL THINKING!

Obama!

I don't care if a person is red, white, blue, black ...Obama is a disgrace to America and his Anti-America wife is even worse. He will never win and he has been playing and using the race card from day one!!!

So RASCIST Hillary finally speaks.

What about brown skin, Hispanics, Asians and rest. You want to comment on them too?

Its unfortunate, however, Clinton has an inability to be nice. She continues to race bate and attempt to divide and bring all those unwilling to embrace regardless of skin tone out and she is clearly one, what she is doing or has done is hidden racism.

Hilliary has been speaking directly to women to vote for her, Obama isn't able to that otherwise he would be seen as soliciting black votes and that would racist or the black. Now she is soliciting all white votes. Greater divide. I'm disappointed.

I was beginning to let all of this go just an hour or two ago and now to read this. I still dont like her and cant let go. If she manages to steal this election and thats exactly what it would be in her case because even with FL/MI she doesnt have the numbers. I will not vote for her.

What an overtly racist comment.. I cannot believe the propaganda machine known as the "media" have not been in an uproar over this. However, it does make sense due to the fact that the "good ole boys" want to maintain their control over their already entrenched, greed-filled policies.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

HILLARY SPEAKS THE TRUTH
AND SHE CAN SPEAK FOR ME AS PRESIDENT

Preposterous. Hillary needs to take her flock and be President of
the Aryan nations. ( on a deserted island somewhere ).

whites without college degrees are supporting Clinton....or do yo mean the idiots of the Democratic voter base are supporting Clinton?!?!

hillary is the only candidate who can fix this broken economy, and the news media has really angered me by the way they have done her. women of this country are still, and you can tell by the negitivity in the news media, are being treated unfairly. go ahead and put an unexperienced man, again i said man, in the white house,,,, for years man has screwed up this country. given a chance ,women would clean up this mess. but thats why most men have voted for obama,,, they are afraid of seeing a women actually cleaning up the mess men have made.. and not one person out there can say any different and be truthful about it. and come time to vote for our govenors and elected officials of oklahoma, we people of oklahoma voted hillary, and they gave delegate votes to obama,,, they really listened to the people of oklahoma didnt they. i will vote for someone else come next voting times. god bless us all for we will need it if obama is put in as president. you will see. and i will write in here again, and say i told you so.

I's a poor white man whats finisht the therd grade. i votet now in 3 elexions and i's fur Hillery.

Every day I become increasingly disappointed in Mrs. Clinton, but now I'm just flat out disgustedat the sight of her Never did I think I would see someone who over the years has touted themselve as a so-called "friend" of the African-American community stoop to this. It seems that she has forgotten about the many blue-collar African-American workers in this country. Along with the fact she (or anyone) can't win without the sizeable African-American vote that she has all but dismissed.

OBAMA 08'!!!

Oh, how very sad. She would rather divide the people than give up her bid. Does America see now. Iowa is predominately White America and they did not want her. It's her they do not want no matter what the color of her skin. What a very sad statement.

Good God...Hillary..it's time to drop out!

Hillary's right. "There's a pattern emerging here." She's willing to roll in the gutter to win – trying to drive a wedge to divide us.

I find her statement particularly offensive where she talks about "Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans". She faulted Obama for his "bitter" comment, but this is even worse as she implies that the people who strongly support Obama don't fit into the category of working or hard working. And by tacking on "white Americans" the direct implication is that black people who strongly support Obama are not hard-working. No Republican would ever get away with a statement like she made.

I am a Democratic elected official, and I very much want to see a Democratic President. But if Hillary should get the nomination (which could only happen at this point if some tragedy should befall Obama) I don't think I can vote for her. She would definitely have some bridges to mend with me. I have some serious concerns about her character and temperment to be President. With her on the ballot, I would not at this time rule out voting for McCain.

Strom Thurman would be proud.

Enough already. SD's send this bigot packing.

Hillary Clinton has proven that being a liar is synonymous to being a Clinton. Bill would say anything to stay President, and Hillary will say anything to become President.

The only pattern emerging is Hillary Clinton proving that her need to win means than the future of this country or the Democratic Party. To have her make such divisive statements is appalling and against everything the Dems are supposed to stand for.
Time to find some grace and think beyond the primary.
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean... step up and put an end to this before you lose the party itself, and the White House.

right now right here we all can see that Obama is not the One
because of peoples like Hillary,why is so hard for American in general to acept Obama as president of USA,if WHITE will only vote for here then she will be way ahead,are Black in America 60/70% of the popularity
in USA?????
PLEASE HILLARY you are going way to far with your comment,you are trying to make white American to go back to the 40/50/60!s with your
crazy comment,WHAT A SHAME.
RIGHT NOW AS ALWAYS FOR ME Bill is way better human than you,i!m 100% sure that Mr Clinton is mad about your comment,
thanks

This whole primary thing is not black and white (pun intended). It is about counting ALL the votes, whether from a black person or white person. ALL the votes have not been validated. This farce is more about NOT INCLUDING CITIZENS of Florida and Michigan than the black/white thing. What this says to me (and ALL Americans) is that if you live in ANY state, at ANY time, your vote may not mean as much as a super delegate's vote. Your right to vote will depend on the whim of the larger political establishment.

She's like that booger you get stuck on your finger going down the highway at 70 mph that you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try or what you do to flick it off into the wind...it just keeps coming back on another finger.

I'm a 45 year old "White Guy" that has been supporting Obama since his keynote address in '04. I don't really care if someone is purple with pink pokodots...knew he had something then and know he has something now.

Wow Billary is such a uniter with that statement. Talk about pulling out all the cards now. quit it is over, This is more about being narcissitic then about bringing the party together.

OBAMA 08

how could she say something like that? that's dividing the party even more!!!

What is so very awful about her determination to stop Obama at any cost (this has stopped being just an elect Hillary effort for quite a few weeks now), is that folks who genuinely admired and respected her
are seeing a side that she managed to hide for years. I went into this campaign not really knowing which of the two I would chhose. Excitement about a woman president and intrigued by the prospect
of a highly qualified person of color. Yes, this is a "Stop Obama" campaign so that four years from now SEnator Clinton can run against what will surely be a one-year McCain term. You have pained me and millions of other African American Democrats who have supported you and your husband unconditionally. Does your daughter really know or understand this side of you?

Why is CNN determined to destroy these people. Who worte this Roland Martin. What a bunch of "hooey"

HILLARY, U'RE NOW NO LONGER HURTING YOUR CAMPAIGN, YOU ARE NOW HURTING YOUR LEGACY AND YOUR HUSBANDS...

I am a white man and will tell you as a white person in America, Hillary you've got no shot. Not because you're a woman, but because you're a fraud and we all know it.

Your only realy support base is coming from people who think the novelty of a woman president is worth voting for or the fact that your "husband" was well liked.

Nobody likes you for you because you're totally transparent to anyone paying attention. So transparent the Bosnian snipers couldn't even see you.

Racist...How ridiculous and what a lie....I will tell you what is racist 98% ofthe black community supports Barack Obama...that's racist!!!

If 98% of whites supported Clinton the media, the pundits and everyone would scream....RACIST!!!

WHEN YOU RECEIVE 98% OF THE BLACK VOTE IT IS CLEAR TO ANY FOOL THAT race IS THE ISSUE...NOT POLICY!!!

I have personally had enough of the lies propogated by the media and by Obama and his supporters.

Clinton is by far the most qualified. And try this for a metric...Obama won a string of contests with no electoral value in the fall. North Carolina will go Republican in the fall as will the string of insignificant caucus states he won.

Democrats are such morons. The Republicans are waiting for the Obama coronation to begin. They know McCain is hands down more qualified. They are afraid to run against Clinton.

YOU HAVE TO WIN THE WHITE VOTE TO WIN!!! What's racist about that? I am so sick of minorities always using the race card whenever they choose. It's sickening.

Why is Obama's candidacy seen as more revolutionary than Clinton's-she is a woman. As my mother often said..women are there worst enemies!!! How true!!!

I hope for all intents and purposes that the Democrats nominate another Kerry who will ultimately lose in the fall.

Hillary supporters...vote McCain. Clinton has proven her tenacity and fortitude and she is 100% right. It has nothing to do with race.

No matter if she graciously asks you to support Obama...Don't. THen she ans we will get our dues when she sweeps 2012...it's not that far away. Just hols on!!!

You know what is sad, it that the Obama camp has been talking about African-American support since day one. They have stated over and over again, that he is taking the African-American vote. Yet not once have I heard anyone say that he was being a bigot or a racist for saying so.
If you want to look at racism in this race, you only need look to the recent polls that are saying 96% of all African-Americans are voting for Obama. Tell me who the racists are in this country again?

How out of touch...

So much for continuing her campaign but backing off divisive personal attacks. The supers need to shut this thing down now.

It should be very concerning when someone who is seeking the Nation's highest position breaks things down to simply race. However in some ways she is a reflection of a society that constantly asks the questions of your race.

As a people, stop answering the question. In polls don't check what race you are, otherwise the media will continue to perpetuate the problem by highlighting the potential divide in voting along racial lines.

Still she pointed out the elephant in the corner of the room, but fails to realize that educated people (not just people with degrees) can and will see through her ridiculously racially charged comment. She is in fact hoping to polarize the voting public, noting that people of colour are still a minority of the voting public.

THIS WOMAN IS CRAZY IS SHE TRYING TO BREAK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. GO HOME HILLARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE DEGRACED YOUR SELF . I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT YOU WHERE A RACE BIGOT BUT AMERICANS FIND OUT. SO SHUT UP AND LEAVE THE RACE YOU ARE JUST AS CRAZY AND SENILE AS MCBUSH. ... WE HAVE HAVE FOUND YOU CLINTONS OUT AND PLEASE TAKE BILL WITH YOU I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU AND HIM ANYMORE. BY THE WAY I AM A 55 YEAR OLD WHITE WOMAN THAT HAS BEEN ON OBAMA;S CAMP SINCE DAY ONE. I HAVE GIVEN HIM MONEY EVERY MONTH SINCE JANUARY

If you had a broader case to build a coalition on and were more electable, then why are you losing in states won, popular vote and pledged delagates?

WOW, I'VE HEARD IT ALL.

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD COME TO THIS.

I'M DISSAPOINTED BUT SADLY, NOT SURPRISED.

Hillary Clinton says, ..."how Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."

She seems to be lumping working, hard-working Americans, and white Americans into a single group. Doesn't this sound a bit racist? It's only the white Americans who are hard-working Americans?

This is one white American who isn't supporting her.

WOW! I never ever expected to hear that crap. I am a white 55-year- old working republican who had voted for Bush twice (sorry). I've been looking to Obama because I think if he won he could unite this nation.

It is high time for the white v.s. black thing to go into the history books, but with our elected officials speaking in these terms it probably never will.

I'm disgusted to hear those comments, and she should apologize to all white Americans for her stupidity.

It appears John Edwards & Rev Wright are right. There is two Americas. Shame Shame whole world is watching

To Judy:

Lucky for you, Barack Obama doesn't want your vote. He's not asking you for your vote. He already knows that there are a lot of people that would NEVER vote for him, and he knows that the number one reason is that he is black.

I'm sure you'll feel more comfortable voting for Hillary Clinton. That's fine, because she DOES want your vote.

But here's a news flash for you. Whether you vote for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, or John McCain, the new reality is that there is a good chance that our next president will be black. Imagine that: the most powerful man in the world could be black.

I'd move to Canada if I were you.

Wow. Now that's worse than anything Rev. Wright ever said. Just wow.

Can we get some dignity into the White House this fall? Geesh.

How sad that this supposedly intelligent woman (Hillary Clinton) can't come to grips with reality! I question her "love of the country" by not letting go. . .

As a white American from Michigan, a state without a say, I'm tired of hearing the Clintons play the race card. I haven't once heard Obama play the sex card. It's been way over played and time for her to go. She should have ran 4 years ago when people tried to get her to.

This is ridiculous. Hillary Clinton just a perfect example of what is wrong in America. Your "me"-centric society is imploding because you can't think of anyone but yourselves.

Hillary can't win, won't win and still goes along "full steam ahead!" in an effort to get into the White House to fulfill her dreams of power and influence. The right thing to do would be to give Obama a chance, support him and thus help the Democrats beat McCain.

Too bad the Clintons have no idea what the right thing to do is.

Hillary is right! I am a white 54 year old male who has never voted for a Republican president. Hell will freeze over before I vote for Obama. I don't know a Democrat im my county that will vote for him.

Not only will this cost her any shot at the presidency, but this might actually cost her her Senate seat.

Statements and actions like this are precisely why she's not pulling this off. I do hope she wont's take all Dems down with her.

For shame! Compare this remark with Obama's race speech.

Come on Hillary,
Obama is going to be the nominee. Atleast stop being negative about hime if you are a true democratic!
A modren, educated, intelligent american would never care about race or gender no matter how white he is. Stop dividing the country any more. We need a real change. Give him 4 years and see the if we are progressing. Don't be a racist. Let us stand behind Obama!!

Way to go OBAMA!

IS SHE KIDDING????

Question to Hillary:

"WHAT ABOUT THE BLACK VOTE??!!!" – African Americans make up 25% of the Democratic Party and she has consistently pulled SINGLE DIGITS with that demographic. How can she possibly expect to win the White House when she can't even win 25% of the Dem "base."

SOMEONE PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT HRC CANNOT WIN THE BLACK VOTE, AND THAT = NO WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

And it's not racist that more than 90% of all black people voted for Obama? She called it like she saw it. The media was not offended when Obama referred to a "typical white person". Why is this offensive?

We've known since the start of this campaign that she is a liar who will stop at nothing to get elected, but now it is clear that she is a racist as well. No self-respecting Democrat (for that matter, American!) should ever vote for this dangerous woman.

I live for the moment when she finally has to give her concession speech!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are CORRECT Hillary. I hope you stay in and FIGHT all the way, for no matter what Obama says "It's not about race", he is a LIAR, yes it is about race, so why should Hillary not have the right to speak about her race? The black/ white tug of war has already begun, and will get worse if Obama is elected. I will vote McCain if he is elected, forget being a Democrat, that doesn't matter anymore.

Ms Clinton is again following the lowest denominator strategy. Usually she lets Billy boy be the bad cop but as the inevitable occurs given the grammar school math calculations.SHE CANNOT WIN!
Therefore she enters the same slime her husband has been spouting...Politicians make statements and than accuse the other of making the statement an issue. I am fed-up with thes kinds of politicians and will NOT vote for Bill-hilary. I am a white American and proud to include all americans as my patriots.
Has anyone shown the photos of Bill and Hillary with Rev. White in the white house....oh that doesn't count! How about Pat rRobertson and Jerry Falwell who spout their hate under religious cover...Has anyone run a few quotes from our Republican Religious connections who sponser support and raise funds for politicians. And our friend Russ Limbaugh who loves popping pills beleives he has some secret power at his radio station to thwart the peoples choice (whomever that will be). He is delusional....
So Hillary has shown her true colors......At least we see the real YOU!

This comment definately shows Hillary is using the "race card", and she will do anything to win, even if it means dividing the party and the country .

Sad to say, but we have along way to go as a country...

She really needs to give it a rest. How many ways can she spin off this loosing battle as a win for her ???

Ooh, I'm a conservative white woman who hates when people play the race card (on either side) and I try not to call it out too much, but in this case, it was extremely blatant. This wasn't the fairy tale comment, it wasn't the Jesse Jackson comment, it wasn't the LBJ comment, this one was unabashedly, indisputably race baiting. HILLARY CLINTON PLAYED THE RACE CARD. Wow. Hillary Clinton has hit a new low.

Hillary knows exactly what she is doing. She is gently stoking up racial concern in order to get people looking at Obama from racial perspective.

She simply doesn't care about what happens to the party or the country as long as she gets what she desperately wants – the nomination.

It is sad that there are people out there who are still not smart enough to see through her tricks and gimmicks. Maybe that's why more educated people are on Obama's side. It's harder to fool them with little gimmicks.

I am so sorry she is representing us. We appeal to those who have influence to ask her to abandon such a shameful attitude. Winning can't possibly be this important.

Hillary's major dysfunction is her blind engagement to an extended "post-rational" campaign. After she rests from her sleepiness , negativity, tears, anger, and messianic sense of entitlement to the nomination, she may greatly benefit from a "reality check" to measure the severity of her level of denial and systemic manipulation. She also may find great perspectives of service and legacy beyond the oval office

Her comments are outrageous!!! Time and time again i have looked for ways to keep supporting her... this is the last straw for me. You have injected a racial divide in order to gain a nomination that is almost out of reach. She should retract these statements immediately!!!! I am so sick of the race issue being brought up in politics. How do we call ourselves the "UNITED" States if we continue to draw a divide. All americans should be outraged by her comments if she refuses to distance herself from them. Let us not use racial tensions in politics. She cannot win without the black vote as well. So what does this mean? Should we just surrender to the republicans now? Lets be serious if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at ALL. We had all the advantages in the last election and we LOST!!! Point blank. Either get with it or GET LOST Sen. Clinton. You have truly lost any support from me and maybe thats why Sen. Obama is in the lead. Integrity should be a important part of ones not only campaign but life. I am saddened to hear you make such remarks!!

So it is okay for the media to constantly say "Obama is going to win due the large black population"? How is that not racist? I am glad Obama has gotten so far just for the fact that he has exposed the African-American Racist Double Standard. I don't see these group of people wanting equality (the double-standard racists,not african-americans); they want to become what they hate.

OMG !!

Hilary says that she is the candidate for white-America. I am voting for the candidate of all-America, Obama.

It's not wrong for people to vote for those who are like them, and that includes on the basis of racial similarities. People who claim that all the African Americans who voted for Obama are being racist need to stop throwing the word around so cavalierly.

This is not about the white voters who voted for Hillary being racist. It's not even about Hillary being racist. It's about her playing the race card in an attempt to polarize us and exploit a controversial issue for political gain. Quite frankly, it is unacceptable.

I'm glad Hillary is finally doing whatever it takes, not to win the nomination, but to keep Obama out of the White House. I think she's a true patriot if she works to stop that.

So if Obama's pastor makes Obama a racist because it is believed by some Wright is a racist, then does that make every catholic a pedophile because some of thier priest have been accused of being one?

It's funny how people want to blame Hillary for the divide.....we "the people" are causing the division...

WHY......because some people are blind & deaf...and others are able to look at the facts and make an intelligent decision.

It's alway the problem the emotionally battling with the logical.... and guess what....logical usually is right

This white American is not for you...OBAMA!

So is she saying that if you aren't white or have a college education or greater, you're not hard working? In the last 2 primaries, the only demographic she carried was white over 65 and white without a college education. That is the "much broader base" she is talking about?

barack can't win the white vote or the latino vote... only the black vote

It is refreshing to know this fact !

Do mongolians qualify as whites ?

Don't worry my Caucasian Brothers and Sisters African Americans

still have love for YA! I'm Speechless,how shallow and insensitive

America is not only Black and White!!

Wow.. hello up here from Canada ..
ok that last offensive comment from Hillary reaks of racism... based on the state of the economy..the non working non White americans have just got a reason now to not vote for Hillary ..get out e while you still have dignity Hillary..

Up until Febuary , I was hoping Hillary would win but after seeing the lies ( her being "shot" at on the Airstrip in Bosnia), the comment about "obliterating Iran and the negative attack ads on Obama makes cast my support now totally to Obama now…

Hillary is just acting like a Republican now and she is toast as in the sooner she bows out, the better for all involved…
And to that say they will vote for McCain if she is not the candidate are even more foolish and narrow minded… look at what kind of mess the Republicans have put your country (the economy) in now not to mention getting you involved in a war without a cause in Iraq while you should really be in Afghanistan where our country is now fighting your war for you…
GO OBAMA GO!!!

Schrillary said "white who had not completed college". Duh,,,,everybody knows that the more educated you are the less likely you will be fooled by the clinton lies. In 1992 & 1996 the majority of voters voted AGAINST Bill Clinton and she can't even win the majority of democrats...what a joke!

I am a 65 year old white woman, and I don't want Hillary!

wow.

Whitey here, F-you Hillary.

What bothers me is that she is implying that Black people – or non-white people – are not hard working Americans. SICK.

The true face of the Clintons has now been revealed. I am going to send this article to all of my friends.

I am a black man and If she is nominated then I WILL register as a republican and not only vote for McCain in the fall, but for every REPUBLICAN on the ticket.

Black America has been duped by the Clintons. The Democrats WILL NOT win in the fall without us,. period. I don't care how many "white americans" she gets.

I will dump the democrats in a heartbeat. If she gets the nomimation it will be because she can get "white people" and expect me to just ignore that foolishness then she will see in the fall who the real fool is.

The democrats are treading on dangerous water. We have voted for white people all of our lives. Bill Clinton is no longer the "first black president".

If america is not ready for a "black" president then let AMERICA decide it in November.

and here I thought Bill was trying to sabatoge her campaign with his words and antics.

She wants her $11M back from the campaign, and the only reason she is saying these things and staying around is so that she can raise enough money (without spending any) to pay herself back. Once she's got that, she will sit down and be quiet.

I'm white and I don't want another 4 years of Clintons in the White House. The last 8 year Clinton term was a joke. The country doesn't need another scandal ridden administration.

Hillary appeals to 'white America'? Time for a "Reality check on aisle 5"... Obama clobbered her in Vermont. We're one of the whitest states in the nation and the primary wasn't even close....

Yesterday I was thinking let her stay in nthe race until primaries are over,IF(!!!!!) she will stay positive.
And what I hear today??????
Delegats,Gore,Edwards all of them MUST to step up now and defend
our presumtive nominee NOW!!!!
She is a SHAME!POWER thats all she needs.
Ambitions thats all!!!
Drop out now!
Get out gracefuly,but I doubt it.
Hillary you have no future,

She is once again showing her true colours. No wonder so many people consider her untrustworthy, not to mention deceitful and divisive. True politician in the likes of Bush, Cheney, Mccain....

It is not black aginst white! It is rich aginst poor!!! Who are you for!!! Hell froze over! I drive a HONDA and I voted for OBAMA!!! BIGGOT NO MORE!!!! BY, Ricky Joe. AMERICAN RED NECK!!!

Well, it's true...but she's an idiot for saying it.

This is bad...I am a diehard,Hillary supporter, but geez this is a tough pill to swallow..,.I am in alittle shock now

Black vs. White. That ought to be a good topic for awhile. Let's get a race thing going in the media now. That'll promote our policies and principles around the world. In America we like to talk about how far we've come when the real question is how far could we have gone?

Nothing more pathetic than a delusional woman with 100 million dollars to spend on her own ego. She needs to go home and take care of her mother like a real woman.

Get this woman out of the race now!!! she is a sad sad sad woman!!!

Hillary I wish you would just drop out already. America doesn't need a stupid liar like you to represent America.

That's odd... In the very white state of Idaho, 79% of all caucus goers voted for Obama...!!!

Bonnie your response is typical of a person who is not only a sore loser...but one who fails to see the needs of everyone that makes up this Democratic Party that you claim to be a part of......... please do not be so bitter ........... you may not be in the right party to begin with ??? I can only hope that you are supporting Clinton for the almost identical campaign concepts as Obama ......and..........not just because she is a women?? That would be pretty shallow.

Sick, Hillary, sick, sick, sick.

Remember when Obama won 94% white Iowa? How about falling 2% short in 95% white New Hampshire? How about winning Wisconsin?

Is she really bragging about how non-educated white people are supporting her?

If this isn't the final nail in the coffin of the disgusting campaign that was Hillary '08, then there is something wrong with America

TO carolflowery :
You certainly have a comprehension problem
There's a big difference between "A big percentage of African Americans" vote for BO and a divisive/untrue statement coming from a hopeful candidate. BO never stated that black must vote for him and he never questioned HRC's ability to attract black voters

NO WAY! HOW DARE YOU HILLARY CLINTON!!!!

HOW DARE YOU?

THE END OF HILLARY CLINTON.

Has she lost her mind? How can she expect anyone to hear this and not think that she is stirring up the racial component of this election? It is sad to watch her "do anything to win" thing..I will support whoever is the Democratic nominee, but I have been for Barack since I saw his speech at the convention a few years ago. Now both of the Clinton's words and actions every day now make me know how right I am that I chose Barack.

Those who say if Obama is nominated are hard core racists. Obama has run a far more apealing campaign. He has far more charisma than Hillary. If he were white she would have been out of the race long ago.
Luckily for us white people who are not racists will vote for Obama and if that lady can convince the super delegates that a black man can not win the general election, Then the whole world will see what a monstrous lie our govt spreads about how we are a democracy.

This white American does not want you.

Drop out, bigot.

I am a 74 year old white American male who fought in Viet Nam while her husband was a Draft Dodger. I find Hillary's statement so disgusting and unAmerican that I can not believe that the Super Delegates won't endorse Obama right now and get this sick woman out of the race. I would be happy if I never saw or heard her again.

Needless to say. I am disgusted. These are divisive words. I am white and I will vote for Obama. George Bush doesn't care about Black People? Hilary Clinton doesn't care about black people, well... their vote anyway. I wonder how much more damage she can do to the Democratic Party.

Hillary, whatever else you do or don't do please do not stir racial conflict in the US at this point of time. We already have a lot on our hands. And do remember this is not the 1940 or 50 or 60s. This is 2008. We have racial harmony now. You, with your kind of mindset belong to the past, you have no place in the future.

Here is the race card. I knew she would play this as Bill has done that against OBAMA before.
I would not be surprised if her election team had anything to do with Rev Wright as well.
Hillary take the high road. Now you are making it impossible for that 2nd spot on the ticket as well.
May be you are asking OBAMA to give you the VP spot because the whites love you to death.

For some reason it's politically incorrect for Hillary to point out a demographic that Obama is having lots of trouble getting support from.

Go figure. Kerry lost the white vote substanitally versus Bush. Let's not kid ourselves.

I have always been proud to be a part of the diversity that is the base of the Democratic Party. Working men & women. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian (if I left someone out, I apologize). That Hillary is desperately and deliberately stating that "white hard working democrats" will not vote for Obama in the general election is disgraceful. She has lost the respect that I had for the Clintons. Not what I want to see in a leader of this great, diverse Country of ours.

All of you Hillary supporters are totally delusional....what else are you willing to SELL following this PSYCHOPATH into into the bowels of HELL?

"working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"

This suggests to me that White Americans are hard-working. The lazy, non-whites need not apply.

Is this the future of America we want?

Well Bonnie you mention all of the controversy surrounding Obama but what about Hillary's Bosnia fairy tale? Let me guess she misspoke.
