Sen. Clinton was expected to win Indiana, where she was ahead the whole time. Even discounting "Operation Chaos," she probably would have won by a slim margin anyway. However, the media still are reporting that she won Texas, when in fact Sen. Obama came away with more delegates from the state (I know, I know — caucus, but still…). Plus, news anchors/pundits still are saying she "crushed" Obama in Pennsylvania by winning by double digits, which is untrue. First, since when do we round 9.2 up to 10? Second, why is it, then, that he did not "crush" her in all the states he's won by more than a 10-percentage-point lead?

Democrates will come together-and sooner when she decides to do what's best and suspend her campaign. Primary elections do not compute to general elections. Who is she kidding? She wasn't even going to campaign is most of the states because they weren't "important " ones. Now ALL the states are important—–she needs to pay back her loans that's where your donations will go if you send her money now.

"I was never suppossed to win Indiana" ??? I do not recall listening to that expectation. The expectation was that Sen.Clinton wil win big in Indiana and narrow in NC

so now all of a sudden all states are important?? I thought Sen.Clinton was not keen on small states???

These constant changing goal post is making me dizzy…..

Hillary,
Whats more important to you the Democratic Party, or the Clinton's name on the ticket????Please understand that our children's future is on the line ,and as Americans we can't AFFORD TO GAMBLE with it!!!!!!!

Give up Obama — the republicans have your number — you will not hoodwink us independents in the general election

Independents for Hillary Clinton

And if not Clinton, then Independents for John McCain

we need a mature experienced person in the White House - we do not need Michelle Obama who will tell Barack what to do each day

These days Hillary Clinton is starting to remind me more and more of Ron Paul.

Partly it's because of the same sort of mindless babble-hype coming from her pathetic groupies, but mostly it's because she honestly hasn't a clue how thoroughly unelectable she is. Watching her operate is like watching the Captain of the Titanic going around planting explosives in the hull below the waterline.

Everytime Hillary is in a State where she expects to win. That becomes a must win State. Yawn, same ol tired song. What is new is Hillary sinking to an all time low, saying that only she can get the white vote. How disgustingly desperate to sink to racial division to scare a handfull of votes her way. It truly is shamefull how Hillary is willing to destroy the Democrats even though she knows the contest is over. One can not help but think Hillary wants McBush to win so that she can run again in 2012. Please West Va and Kentucky. Cut the head off this evil snake.

It's a shame really. If or when Obama whens the nomination, he can't win the general election. The proof is in the pudding. He hasn't won the most important swing or red states. Without being able to win those and without the support of disgruntled Clinton supporters behind him, the general election is out of reach for Obama. Might I also point out that if Obama had the confidence of all America behind him, Clinton would have been out of the race a long, long time ago. She is still giving him such a close run….why, because she is strong and he just can't put her down. If he can't put her down, what other opposition can he not put to rest? It's a shame that we will all have to pay the price of him winning the nomination when he can't take the general election because it means that we will all sit through another 4 years of Bush style agendas, war, bad economy and broken healthcare.

Hello America!
Hillary do you even care any more about the Democratic Party? Whats more important to Americans?Your name on the ticket ,or our country's future! Please don't gamble with our children's future! There too much at risk!!!!!!!!

Every HRC supporter needs to avenge her loss by voting McCain. Even if it means war, poverty and the rest of the world afraid and hating us for 4 more years. Even if it means ultra-conservative Supreme Court appointments, Guantanamo staying open and bombing Iran. It's all worth it just to get even with Obama and deny him the presidency. Revenge is very patriotic.

Obama cannot win West Virginia - Ohio - Pennsylvania - or Texas and without them McCain get the Oval Office

WAKE UP DEMS IF YOU WANT THE WHITE HOUSE CLINTON IS THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN GET IT FOR YOU

Hillary now probably just also lost her Senate seat in the next election.

what makes think Obama that world wants US to be leading country? THe news do not say or support these words at all….they hate americans in the world right now………
He must be living in some kind of illusions….

this lady needs a psych evaluation. I thought only the big states were crucial to the democrats in the GE? Now WV is a must win for democrats too. This lady is good I must say but she's not good enough people aren't stupid (at least I hope not)

Hillary's comments to USA today: I am getting hard working, blue collar WHITE AMERICAN's votes.

How about the hard working, blue collar “AFRICAN AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, LATIN AMERICANS, JEWISH AMERICANS & ARABIC AMERICANS.

Is she paranoid, delusional Or RACIST ? Is she going to be a President for only the “WHITE AMERICANS?

Her supporters are just like her: “If Hillary dosen’t get the nomination we are going to vote for McCain”, and their “ BLACK, BLACK, BLACK, BLACK hatered is these blogs makes them CLOSET RACISTS.

West Virgina? Is she nuts? That state is very small! Why is it a "must-win?" It has almost no value in a general election!

Real stupidity.

this woman is just saying the supedelegates :

"'Hey ,this man is black and he is named Barack Obama a name that is not really american ,he will never win the general elctions because,white americans will not vote for him.They will prefer the white guy MC Cain…Then hey superdelegates give me the nomination because i'm white,i'am more "electable" than this stupid black guy…"

Sorry Hillary go away….You have lost all respect..You are stupid..

Why can't the superdelegates end this race?This woman will do anything to get the nomination ,even behind closed doors..

Hillary…Shame on You…Please drop out.

What's really needed is for Hillary to run as a third party candidate! Then it's bye-bye barack o'bambi hello johhny McC.

PUH-LEEZE

Talk about losing perspective!

With every stupid thing she says she drives down the possibility of getting on the Obama train as VP.

Hillary the cure for "entitlementitis" is prozac. You have absolutely lost it. What is wrong witih this woman? Is she headed for a breakdown or what?

States like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana would be more likely to vote Democratic in November if they hadn't been exposed to Hillary smearing the future Democratic nominee. Hillary painted Obama in a way that makes him less appealing in those states. Her own avarice and ambition has done more to drive those states to McCain than anything Obama did or didn't do.

hillary you should get out ,your vote dont count

Hillary close shop and move on you have lost it /the curtain is coming down /we have heard enough lies and slams from you about others to last us a life time .
You are a Republican wearing a mask / the mask has came off.
You were a Goldwater girl now Goldilocks you just can't get rid of the gold.

Go Away

"Marc May 8th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Sorry but there aren't enough of Obama's core to even have a respectable showing in this State. He'll lose by 30 points."

Are you calling the people of WV uneducated? Just come and say what you mean. Maybe it is me but, he is saying they are stupid.

Obama is such a gracious winner.
What skill he has had throughout this race showing kindness when it was needed and getting tough on the issues when it was needed.
I really admire him for that.

I hope Hillary is able to take a long rest and get back to work in the Senate.

One word - pathetic

This woman has one thing in common with Bush…they both like changing the rule of the game in the middle of the game when they think they are close to loosing it. The only reason she tolerated Bill’s infidelity is not to be seen as a divorced woman so that people do not question how she can manage a nation if she can not manage a single family. It is her ambition to be President that made her tolerate his unfaithfulness. Otherwise, we all know that she does not take any crap from anybody if there is nothing in it for her. That is why she is coming up with all these weird excuses after every loss. I do not at all mind her fighting all the way but she has to cut out the crap. Just focus on the issue and tell us why you should be the nominee. What you can do better than him or what you can do that he can not do. Then leave the judgement to the people and accept the people’s verdict.

I think it is high time for Dr. Phil to come out and talk to the Clinton's. They need to find PEACE for themselves and this country. Maybe Dr. Phil can sit with them calmly and get them to realize what is REALLY happening - TODAY IN AMERICA! They seem to be on another cloud!

McBush is NOT a formidable opponent. He hasn't even been in the news all day.

Will someone stick a fork in Hillary so she will know that she is D U N N! Done. Over. Hasta luego!

Obama '08

it's over, Hillary. Accept it.

"hard working", I think the only thing she works hard for is advancing herself and increasing her wealth. She is so out of touch with the "Hard Working Voters."

Give us a break!

Every state that shes heavily favored in has been you cant win without (insert state here) Havent we heard this toon before? Lets not forget that while shes fighting to seat MI and FL in her favor she also says that small states dont matter or caucuses dont count..

Go home Hillary where ever that may be this week..

Obama 08/09

The most important goal is to win the White House in November. I am angry that Hillary won't exit gracefully and let all of us focus on the greater goal. I admire determination, but if she were the leader at this point, she would be "demanding" that Obama step aside. This is becoming a real turn off and I know that she is losing more than gaining at this time with her endless "battles…"

Let it go…It's time…

I agree, states that have voted Democratic in the past (like WV) need to vote Democratic in 2008 and I predict that the debacle of the Bush presidency will ensure that those states do. What Senator Clinton needs to do is quit trying to use seating the MI and FL delegates as a wedge issue. She is hurting the party. Nobody in their right mind (and yes, I am implying that Senator Clinton's thinking on this issue is somewhat flawed) believes that you would count the votes from a state where only one candidate's name appeared on the ballot. Also, if she felt so strongly that the delegates from MI and FL should be seated, why did she and her campaign agree to a policy that said that those delegates would not be seated if they moved their primaries ahead. It is a desperate move and it proves her "win at any cost" strategy. Sorry, it's not working.

People need to believe in the integrity of the political process. You can't get a "redo" just because you don't like the results. Again, I feel for the people who voted in the MI and FL, but they have nobody to blame but their own state leaders. Senator Clinton needs to quit trying to transfer that blame onto somebody else — (in this case, Senator Obama).

The surest way for her to ensure that these votes count is to withdraw from the race and release her delegates to vote for Senator Obama in Denver. If she's so concerned about ensuring that the delegates are seated and that those states vote Democratic in the fall, that's one sure way to make that happen.

So, is this really about the delegates in those states and Democratic party or is it about Hillary Clinton? I think we all know the answer to that question.

The Dems do need WV. They should count on losing FL & MI.

A view from abroad:

Mrs Clinton,

I cannot help feeling that you are so sad, so cheap, so desperate, so unpresidential. Please spare us further shannaigans. it is time to be graceful.

It's official. Reagan Democrats are now referred to as McCain Democrats.

Does "hard working" mean "white" now?

Bill in Fla,

Therein lies the problem with her argument. Seating the MI and FL delegates are all important to her now, but were meaningless back in December when she was still the "inevitable" candidate. You say that giving Obama the uncommitted is generous, but do you really think she wins 55% of the vote if both Obama and Edwards are on the ballot. Also, despite being the 8th most populous state in the union, less than 600,000 people voted in the Michigan primary, Ohio has a similar population and well over 2 million people voted. I won't ever dispute that she would have won Florida under any circumstances, but given the overall demographic layout of Michigan, it was anything but a slam dunk in the Clinton column. She probably could have gotten Florida seated in its entirety by now if she didn't insist that Michigan also be seated as is when she was the only candidate on the ballot. The remaining primaries are likely to split evenly between them, so she'll hardly have any arguments on momentum. There's a reason that even given two days, she or none of her surrogates can lay out a realistic path to the nomination. Her only hope is a major gaffe or catastrophe by the Obama campaign.

I think that Hillary is brilliant. Here is why…she knows that she is going to lose the nomination, but as long as she is in the race, the democratic party gets a bunch of free publicity AND more and more people sign up and get involved in the process. This will make sure that we have a democrat in the white house after the GE.

It's a small state, thus by Clinton logic, it's not a "needed" win for Democrats in November.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

I make this appeal to the good people of West Virginia to vote with both your heart and with your head. Hillary Clinton is not a quitter! She knows want our country's wants are. Hillary Clinton knows what are our peoples needs are, and she will hit the White House floor a runnin, as she does not need to be tutored as she is experienced in the world of Washington and the world. The People need jobs. Hillary Clinton will work to make the state of our economy, First on the agenda. This will keep roofs over the people's heads and food on their plates. It will also help to restore our Right to Dignity, which comes hand in hand with employment and a paycheck, but mysteriously disappears when the pink slip makes it's dread appearance. Obama can go around in a pair of jeans and make his attempt to make a victory lap around the Senate chambers. The race is not over! The good people of West Virginia can make that upstart eat that pair of jeans, by supporting the experienced candidate, the one who will not forget you after election day, the one who knows what the people need. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, Now, Now, Now! Give Hillary a chance. Give Hillary your support. Help Hillary to help you! The fight ain't over yet Mr. Obama! The People come first and they deserve a President who has experience solving problems, not creating problems

This note is for the DNC: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR PARTY? This was our year to win. Everything was going our way until you tried to force Senator Obama on us. I wish that I could wake up from this nightmare. Everyone out there knows that Senator Clinton can beat Senator McCain and that she is the best candidate for the Democratic nomination but everyone is afraid that African Americans will riot if Senator Clinton gets the nomination. If Senator Obama is handed the nomination before this is over, Senator Clinton's supporters are going to be forced to take action. Here is what will happen: We will either vote for Senator McCain or some of us, myself and my family included, will begin a serious write-in campaign for Senator Clinton and against Senator Obama. I want to caution the superdelegates from stating their choice before the June 3rd primaries are over. Senator Clinton's supporters are many and we are angry. We will never vote for Senator Obama. So, do what you must, but Senator Obama will never get our vote and he will never win in the fall.

Am I the only one who thinks Hillary's arguments have gone from annoying to comical? I read them and start laughing. The woman nis desperate now. I would still watch out for her though, desperate people do stupid things that hurt others. I won't be surprised if she pulls some crazy antics. In the meantime, this is Hillarious!!

TIME OUT , Hillary…TIME OUT !!

Take a nice break, have a vacation..and go back to the senate gracefully !

no one is listening anymore hillary…it's time to rally behind obama

Hillary will win the rest of the remaining states and be the Nominee. This is good for the Democratic Party and America. As they did in 1990s, Hillary will be able to turn around the economy and make it booming again. She will be able to take control of the spiraling gas price and bring it down to where it used to be in the 1990s. She is also a strong leader. She has more balls than the other two candidates running for President. As a Super Power, America needs a brilliant and strong President.

So HC voters won't vote for Obama - ???
Has Obama brought up any of HC's past, has he mentioned anything to do with her very shady history, all the nonsense that went on at the White House with President Clinton, the fact some people suspect she actually murdered someone, all the "gates" she was involved with, the money she extorted in California in 2000 - the on going court case Peter Paul vs Clinton - has he done anything to 'personally" damage her?
Obama has maintained his dignity, self-respect and honor!

I have the solution. Obama can have the Democratic Nomination, McCain can have the Republican Nomination, Clinton can have the Independent Nomination. Clinton won all the big states you need to be President over Obama. Clinton running as Independent will guarantee her the Presidency. She can wash both men out of her hair permanently since the big states won't vote for Obama or McCain.

Hillary is a racist and Obama will get me the entitlement programs I need.

You know i just realized she not talking about a coalition so that she can win the nomination. She saying the she HAS to be VP inorder to win the white house. Because she's gonna bring the "white vote". this is her making a play for VP…right?

About 60-75% of Americans will vote for McCain in November.

That's the republican party and about one third of the democrat party.

Hillary has a better chance of containing the democrat party. That's just the way it is.

Gas prices went up 14cents in northcentral WV today.the bogus tax holiday would just about make that back up.I wish I could vote for Obama but WV primaries doesnot allow crossover voting.

Of course, West Virginia has voted for every eventual President in the winning party's nomination — by the time it gets to W. Virginia in the Primary process, the nominee for each party has either already been crowned or it's overly obvious who the nominee will, and the state wants to be on the winning side, so they'll vote for that person. This race is different, since it's still so close.

Have any of you considered the fact that she knows what she's doing? What in the world has she done to make you folks so filled with rage and hatred toward her? Look at her bio if you want to see what this brilliant woman has done since she graduated from Law School for minorities, underprivileged, and overlooked people in our society. Geez! Are you democrats or hateocrats. Whether you wish to see it or not and would rather seethe, she is an incredible human being who really does care about you mean-spirited folks, in spite of your inability to be civilized with your thoughts and your commentary!

"Well, I am running to be president of all 50 states.”

… Except the "small states" that don't count as much as the "big states", or the ones that Obama won, that don't count as much as the ones you did… right, Hillary?

Please… it's just getting sad now.

Truth teller question: If everyone favors you, why are you losing?? How do you explain that little fact?

It's 4:34PM

Has the Gimmick Candidate changed her mind and restated her FL Delegate request to include space aliens yet?

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

Here to stay. Are you in Fla?You should vote Republican but to my last knowledge Mc Cain won that nomination. Maybe HRC will be his VP

Obama should agree to the proposition of including the delegates from Michigan and Florida. The real leader never leaves any stones unturned to prove his leadership. The supporters of Obama should quit anti-Clinton (and vice versa) campaign. This affects the over all image of the Democrats. Obama can not lead this country being an independent and it is not good for him to lead with a bias against Clintons. Had he been overtly popular than Hillary he could have easily got those 2025 delegates hands down. But he could not do it. He is still in the lead but with just a hundred plus delegates (it is a 51-49 lead). I will suggest that both of them need to mend fences and come together to keep republicans out of sight. I appeal to supporters of both Obama and Hillary to work in that direction which will make the Democarts strong.

That is just converntional thinking. That is whay she loses.

How many times have Senator Clinton stated the "next race" is the most important.

Everyone I talk with says they are "tired" of this expensive campaign that is exhausting the front-runner and boring the rest of this nation.

Senator Clinton, I pray you will admit that. . .even with your husband and Chelsea at your side. . .you haven't or will win the nomination.

As for your campaigning for Obama, I don't think this is a good idea. As you speak for him, people will always (at least in the next couple of months) remember how you trashed him.

I suggest you and Bill just take a rest. Certainly you are worn out. Rest and put some of your energy to your senator responsibility.

I begin to dislike Obama last fall because of the nasty things he said about Hillary Clinton. He has vilified her, and so have the party patriarchs and press. How could I possibly vote for Obama? He is the consummate politician. I can't vote for McCain either. I'll just stay home. Maybe we'll have better choices in '12. Nobama and NoMcCain!

Hillary Clinton supporters:

Please stop with the threats and insults. I realize many Obama supporters are gloating and taunting you, which is disappointing and wrong. I wish this wasn’t going on. However, it's important that you rise above the petty taunts and stop threatening to vote against the well-being of our nation just because your preferred candidate will not be in the race. Voting for a Democrat, regardless of who he/she is, is absolutely critical this fall. We're all depending on Clinton supporters everywhere to see the big picture and help the Democratic Party take back the White House, and help our nation begin recovering from Bush's mistakes and blunders at home and abroad. We need you, there's no denying it. Please, please, please unite behind Obama and help the cause. We're in this together.

"So We WILL teach the DNC a lesson with our vote in Nov." -

AND Teach the Obama supporters who think its funny to bash Clinton a lesson! I cant wait to see there face when McCane a weak republican kills Obama in the general… they won a battle, but lose the war!

It is starting to look like the Superdelegates care more about the Clinton's feelings then the actual party. What's that all about? The superdelegates could end this in one day, but they refuse to give Barack a chance to catch his breath before his fight with the Republicans. I'm really starting to wonder about this country……

Why do we even bother with elections in other states at all? West Virginia is where it's at! West Virginia is the ONLY STATE THAT REALLY COUNTS!

What a joke.

I thought the popular vote was what really mattered? Now that she doesn't have that - even with MI and FL - it apparently doesn't matter any more.

While it is unlikely Clinton will get the nomination at this point, it is not improbable. She's not yet the Huckabee of the race. I think for her to continue to be able to compete she needs to show to her supporters a clear path for her to win the nomination, or else her money and campaign will dry up. It will be something along the lines of,

1) seating the Florida and Michigan delegates,
2) winning the popular vote including Florida and Michigan (giving the uncommitted votes to Obama, which is generous because it includes Edwards supporters as well),
3) winning a majority of the remaining pledged delegates (she's heavily favored in some of the upcoming states),
4) and making a strong arguement of electability and momentum to the super delegates.

Hillary Clinton 08

Well if Hillary is nothing else she's consistent. Once again, states that she wins or is favored in are the the true tests of who makes the best candidate, and the 49% of voters that vote for her are the "winning" base of the party, but those other 33 states and 51% of the voters are meaningless, because apparently you can win the general election without meaningless states like Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Conneticut, Missouri, etc.

I am a Hispanic, Catholic, Democrat…and tired to the bone of Clinton"s insistence. The only reason she ran for the senate in New York was to project her ambitions to the white house, (where she apparently left something hidden and must return to look for it. ) and surely not to serve the people of a state where she had no trajectory. Hillary is not completely useless in American politics however. She serves as a bad example.

Nasty Obama supporters all over this blog too. West Virginia is Hillary's for obvious reasons.

This is almost becoming laughable. When Obama is sworn in as President she will be there demanding that the job is hers and they will have to haul her off in a straight jacket.

SHE'S CRAZY!

WEST VIRGINIA IS SOLIDLY REPUBLICAN!

Next we'll hear Kentucky is the heart and soul of America.

I totally agree with some one who said, whoever, took away Hillary's Bipolar medication should bring it back as soon as possible, because she needs that medication really bad. I cannot see how the president could lie and fail to do the MATH that is really simple. I am an old woman who had some sympathy for Hillary, but when I discover her lies one after another I was turned off and went to support Obama.

In fhe fall, all of those core Democratic constituents will vote in solidy majorities for Obama. When it's Clinton vs. Obama, she gets a few more of some of these. In the general election it's a whole different ballgame. In fact, McCain is a really shaky candidate.
She's distorting the facts — ONE MORE TIME. This is really getting to be sickening.

Hillary should help the party by going after Huckabee….oh wait he's no longer in this is he?….I guess its all the same in the end. LOL

GO AWAY CLNTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ummm did she say that the states she lost and the people who didnt vote for her DON'T matter.

Two weeks ago only the Big States mattered to Hillary, now Virginia is the most important State. Virginian's don't fall for it, she will use you all, and then move on and forget you…

She represents "old" negative, nasty, karl rove politics as usual. For those people who say they won't vote for Obama and will vote for McCain, I presume they are uninformed completely and have lived on Mars for the last 8 miserable bush years! They must be satisfied with the status quo and just want it to continue because they will get more of the same with Mcbush! Women will lose their rights, more right wing supreme court justices will appointed, wars will continue and new wars will start. But gee hillarycrites you just go ahead and vote for mccain, IF by some horrible chance he's elected don't you dare complain that this country is ruined and you are responsible!

What happened to Ohio? and Pennsyvania? and Indiana? has the road to the white house detoured through West Virginia? Well if you really believe so, then help campaign for Obama there so that the Democrats win, since you care so much about the Democratic party.

Clinton needs to stay among the "hard working white Americans" in West Virginia because her comments smack of racism and suggest all non- whites aren't hard working.

And just to make it clear-she didn't win Texas at all. I know John King shows on the magic map that the colors are stripped because of the caucus and primary, when the total caucus and primary votes were added up, he won the total state of Texas. Funny Hiliary, telling lies are just like advertising-say it long enough and loud enough and everybody starts to believes you.

I'm starting to feel bad for Hillary. Its obvious she must have some type of mental illness.

She's told every state that-especially the states where she has been looked upon as the major winner.

Hillary is here to stay because many lifelong democrats do not like election fixing that has influenced this primary.

We will NOT vote for Obama- for no reason but to protest the corruption of this primary: Advantages for one, obstacles for the other. Media bias. Flawed caucus format. Obama supporters using bully tactics at caucus. Obama with his gloating, cocky, arrogant mocking of Hillary with his Annie Oakley antics (while claiming he does not go negative). Obama with his ridiculing of Hillary by dismissively brushing her off his shoulder ( again, not negative? is this the uniter?). And, of course the Fl and Mi fiasco. It is never good or right to disenfranchise your voter base.

So We WILL teach the DNC a lesson with our vote in Nov.

It is that simple.

Won't this woman ever go away so this country can get on with the next election?! Her ego is so big that she's lost in it.

I wonder why she didn't say that she is winning large groups of white people like she told Time magazine earlier today? She's a real act..

Hillary… are you still talking?

Hillary Clinton supporters:

Please stop with the threats and insults. I realize many Obama supporters are gloating and taunting you, which is disappointing and wrong. I wish this wasn’t going on.

LOl another MUST WIN from Clinton…is anyone still even listening? really?
The only must wins from her are ones that she wins. The rest of us in the United States just don't matter to her but guess what? The majority have spoken and SHE dosen't matter Really!

Well according to Hillary, I don't need to vote in the GE; my vote doesn't matter. I don't fit her profile nor does anyone in my family. Thank you Hillary for letting me know that I am not an American.

Any true Clinton supporter who will support McCain is clearly not a reasonable person - John and Hillary are complete opposites.

Barack and Hillary agree on almost every policy issue - so if you were with Hillary because of her policy and you are now saying you will support McCain who is the TOTAL OPPOSITE of Hillary you are not being reasonable!

McCain = endless war in Iraq
McCain = more wars
McCain = hoping the insurance companies will give you insurance and a $5000 tax break, that doesn't cover 6 months of insurance payments on a company plan. Where are you supposed to get the front money before you get the $5000 tax break on April 15th?
McCain = tax breaks for the wealthy
McCain = end of Roe vs. Wade

So if you want what McCain is offering, then that means us true democrats will have to do everything we can to expand the party and get more people to participate.

You people don't know how to read. She said it is a must win for the democrats in November, not a must win for her next week.

Hillary the comedian.

This is now beyond ridiculous. To hell with the other 49 states, WEST VIRGINIA is what matters now!

Oh. My. Goodness.

Someone put this woman out of her misery.

Its over, you should of thought of small states when you were ahead not when you are badly behind.

But, but, Hillary, it isn't a big state - you already told us that only the big states matter! I'm so confused, the spin, THE SPIN!!!

Someone wake me up when it's over, please?

I am a white American Hillary and Surprise! Surprise! Obama all the way.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Come June 3rd Clinton will offer to change the rules again. She might buy a couple of states from Mexico and add them in the union for more primaries to see if she can get the nomination

If it is a "must-win" state, then please don't divide the Democratic base there. The trend is an ever increasing amount of your supporters saying they won't support Obama. Please take responsibility for your actions. Please?

Now West Virginia is important state wha a joke, whe knows she is favoured there, she want us to believe the 14 states she won are very important but the 32 states obama won are not important and yet she also says she is runing for 50 states what is it this woman is a joke she needs prozak or something she is losing it.

Dave in Atlanta:

I couldn't agree with you more…I was going to say the same thing.

Can someone please get rid of this woman? Where is Bill….can't he get her to come home? GEEEEEEZZZZZ!!!!!!!

Its already over, and because Obama is the democrats "leader" now I must switch parties… His supporters are nasty to Clinton, but thats the change the democrats voted for… a change for "Hate in 08″

McCane 08′

You people who call yourself's dems who will vote for McCain is Hillary can't win are terrible people. You would rather vote a 3rd term for Bush then vote to progress our nation from the failed policies of yesterday. You people make me sick. Hillary supporters are just as delusional as she is about reality.

As the Clinton's Turn, you liked her when she fought for what you wanted, didn't you? Now, you'll dump her and denigrate her to justify your dump. One of the reasons I won't vote for Obama is because of people like you. Look at me, too. There are lots of us.
Nobama '08

All you Obama freacks make me SICK..you are out of touch, out of place, and in outer space…get a grip people..the race card will not make Obama a winner….facts will

And why dear Hillary is WV's 5 electoral college votes NECESSARY to win the White House? West Virginia will support Obama in the fall…it is a democratic state — almost always goes democrat. It went republican the last two election cycles partially becuase the previous Clinton sex fiasco in the White House totally disgraced the Office of the President.

I never want to see a Clinton in the White House again. I'll vote for McCain if Obama doesn't get the nod.

Why wasnt NC a must win?

to Dennis–you will find out how crucial those states are in November–welcome to McCain country! Hillary is a better person than I–at least she will be voting democratic. As for me and mine–you Obamabots do not seem to want or need our votes! Good luck with your "skimpy demographics" (african American and wealthy elites) And go ahead and call me racist-it isn,t true. You people are the racists.

Gas tax Holiday is polical manipulation. America can't you what that woman is doing?

Go Hilary and dont give up. The game is not finished yet. Obama is till weak and you can beat him and his wife tiger

Hillary is the person who is electable!!!!!

As a lifelong resident of WV I know how much this is BS.WV will go with the candidate that gun owners and hunters want to go with.1980 WV was the only state to go against Ronald Reagan.She said the same thing about PA and OH.She will win the WV primary but WV will play little of a role in the General.

Let's see……Obama people say don't count Michigan and Florida b/c they broke the rules. Yet, the rules are Hillary can continue her campaign until 2,025 delegates are won by Obama; however, Obama maniacs are saying she needs to quit. You can't form the rules to fit your agenda so get over it.

You Obama people are very nasty. Is this what you call 'uniting'?

This woman is delusional.

Clinton has every right to stay in this race..Nobody has reached the magic number of delagates yet..If the Democrats used the same rules as the Republicans to select their nominee we wouldn't be here now because Clinton would already be the nominee..Some of you Obama followers are really rude, crude and immature…

I have sent two entries that have not been printed. I will try again. What I wrote has been sent to the DNC and superdelegates. It is important that the superdelegates choose the person who is electable.

delusional lady go away

Yes Hillary, all the more reason for you to take your power-crazed ego and step aside gracefully before you cause more damage.

Hillary = Lady Macbeth without the charm.

Maybe if we ignore her she will go away.

Delusional woman, go away. It is over. Obama 08′

I would like someone from CNN to address Obama's "new electoral map" for the general election. (ie Colorado, Nevada etc.) It appears to me that voters are taking an unecessary risk. Hillary would easily have beaten McCain. I don't see this quite as clearly with Obama, but am open to an explanation on strategy.

Two days ago, I voted for Obama in my state's primary. I hope he gets the nomination, but if by some slim chance he doesn't I'll still support my party and it's ideals and vote for Hillary.

Here's the thing though, Clinton supporters, in order for Hillary to even come close to TYING Barack in number of pledged delegates she has to win the remaining primaries by 85%. Chances don't look good.

Why is CNN covering her? Make her pay for advertisement. Oops- she is out of money.

Obama and Clinton supporters:
It takes all types to win an election. I am a highly educated Clinton supporter who, according to the pundits, should be an Obama supporter. Obama supporters, please stop making it so difficult to support your candidate. Ignorant, immature, and childish comments hardly represent Obama's campaign messages. We have all chosen to support who we want to be the candidate for various reasons (hopefully not based on race or sex) but if we want the Dems to win in Novemeber, we have to find some common ground again.

Spin, spin, and more spin.

What's the matter, you Obama supporters. Don't you like the people in West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, Puerto Rico, or Florida for that matter? You're a bunch of hypocrites. If the shoe fits, wear it!

"Dave in Atlanta May 8th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

So basically every state in which Clinton does well is a "must win" state, and every state she loses "doesn't count really"?"

YES, EXACTLY. FACE TRUTH - OBAMA CAN WIN ONLY MINOR AND BLACK STATES

Dear Bobby tray:

Please don't compare Hillary Clinton to Raider's owner Al Davis. That is so demeaning to Al. Hillary Clinton is a disgrace.

A disgrace to her party, to her supporters, and to the American public.

Just quit Hillary, it only goes down from here.

Hillary's like a shark; if she stops swimming, she'll die.

Does anyone in CNN really not see what it going on? I can't believe they treat these statements like news.

NEWSBREAK: Any state that Hillary thinks she can win is a "must win" and a "big" state. Also, any people that vote for Hillary are "Hard Working", "True Americans", "Important Demographics" and "Swing voters".

Can we see through the lies and forget about her? I am glad Obama has realized that she isn't worth debating with.

A vote for Clinton is a vote for McCain at this point. Any donation to her campaign is payment on her loans and debt.

Why is it - Obamabots - that if a white person votes for Hillary, they are uneducated bigots, but if a black person votes for Obama, they are well informed? I don't get the line of reasoning. But then again, I am white, I have a higher IQ and more education than 95% of the Obamabots, and I support Hillary.

HIllary Clinton has lost her freakin mind. How can she goto west virginia and say that it is mandatory to win the state to get the nomination. she has literally lost it. By saying it, she is saying that it is more important to win WV than it is to win NC. which carries much more delegates and superdelegates than WV.

When will she let it go. Now, she is not only ruining her chances to be able to run again in future elections, but also her likelihood of being reelected to the NY Senate.

Sen. Obama has the democratic nomination locked up and the sooner Clinton realizes that, and lets him go on to face Mccain, the better off the democratic party will be.

what is howard deans email address so we can all email him to get Hillary to quit enough is enough

the ones that don't get it is the obama supporters. i can 't wait 4 mccain 2 debate with obama, if hillary made him look stupid ,what is mccain going to make him look like. good luck 2 all the obama supporters, stop 2 think he can't win with just u'll votes, you'll still need the hispanic, asian , elder white votes. mccain president ….08

I believe the Clinton campaign also has a lead among voters that support Clinton and wear red boxing gloves to political rallies. Someone please let the superdelegates know about this.

This is quite sad. The fact is, you are not now, nor will you ever be running in the general election, so West Virginia, or any other state for that matter, doesn't help you at all, Hillary. Give it up! At this point, you are only making yourself look like a sore loser, and quite frankly, a psycho idiot!

Hillary Huckabee-Romney-McCain-Rodham-Clinton. Just what is in that water ya'lls drink down there in Arkansas-way?

She blowing smoke up her and WV people's butts. Yes Dems need to win WV and Obama can make it happen also.End this rollacoaster Clinton camp and let's move on fwd.

"Obama 08 Enough said"

Only if you are a stupid CLINTON

If the DNC hands Obama the nomination, I think Hillary should refuse to be VP and let him self-destruct. His arrogance and that of his supporters knows no bounds. Putting down hard-working Americans is about as unpatriotic as you get. Kind of seems equal with racism.

People who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win are delusional…it's a petty, childish argument and COMPLETELY not democratic - it's people like you who will destroy this party

probably coming from all of those white, uneducated folks she so proudly is courting…

"This is a little like deja vu ALL OVER AGAIN” (my caps)

We know that you know that we know that you are more intelligent that this. But, than again, pandering to THAT demographic would not get you the most votes would it Hillary?

Yes, keep pandering to the ignorant Hillary - go girl go!

SIgned - "She lost my respect at the last curve!"

Hillary, after reading your bigoted comments regarding your white base, you have officially lost what little respect I had for you. Do you have a moral center?

For everybody who said they are willing to vote for old man McCain, if Hillary lose the race go head!!! You are only selling you and your kids future short.This country is going to hell in an hand basket,from the Bush years.If you want to gamble with old man McCain than go ahead an do so. Vote Obama!!!!!!!!!! he is the future.

Stop DIVIDING Dems.

Hillary, the rest of the country know that Obama will take care of it.

Just DROP OUT, Hillary!

We've heard this before. "The road to White House goes through _____________ "(fill in the state), The democratic party is being remade from the bottom up right now. She's not part of the picture. She is actually an outsider to her own party, but then recently, I can't tell what party she belongs to. It's located in a delusional parallel universe somewhere.

Isn't it clear by now that Hillary is suffering from mental health issues?

What else can explain her latest proclamation, that "hard-working white Americans" will not support Barack?

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

Hillary doesn't need to win West Virginia. She needs psychiatric treatment.

If Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I won't vote. Obama and spouse are not White House material. What are you going to do when he starts spouting what he learned in Church?

How about Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi for Vice President, for either Obama or Hillary???????

Now there's a team.

hmmmmmmmm… Now where did I leave those goal-posts??? I know I left them right here, but they just keep on getting up and moving???

Moving goal posts, crop-circles, what next???

What a sore loser?
This woman makes the most ILLOGICAL statements and wastes the time of millions of people daily. She is so desperate and outright DISGUSTINGLY PATHETIC

The fact that she is still here shows the lack of strength in the DNC. If the same thingwwas going on in the GOP they would have booted the other candidate out for the unity of the party (i.e. Romney).

This is why Republicans keep winning.

Uhhhhm….can someone tell her that it is time to unite. I say Hillary finish the race, but stop telling peole that Obama is not the best candidate. If he wasn't the best candidte, he wouldn't be leading with popular vote( that is with FL, MI) since North Carolina and Indiana. If he wasn't the best candidate, he would be leading in delegate count with and without superdelegates. If he wasn't the best candate he wouldn't not have won 32 states while you only won 16..yes 16. With or without the big states…..every state counts, not just big states and WV.

Wake UP PEOPLE…….this is becoming like a joke.

She seems to forget that people have to choose between 2 of the same party now. Come November, it will be between Obama and 4 more years of Bush. Those who vote for Hillary now will have to choose. Not everyone will leave the democartic party. Oh, forget about the swing voters, they are Obama's. Or does she think that he only gets the black vote.

West Virginia don't be fooled by her sweet words. You are just next.
First it was Ohio, then Texas, no Pa, No Indiana, now its your turn to be pandered too. Next she will learn spanish for Puerto Rico. Feel for 8 Belles for the KY voters on and on. Then you'll never see her again except on TV. She can't win the nomination, don't waste your vote.

Hillary should keep going…

She should be on Mc Cain's ticket for VP!

I will be glad when the media stop giving her the time of day!

Go Obama! We are on to bigger and better things!

If you stay Hillary - you can start fund raising for Obama…(:

Can't wait to her you call him………….. Mr. President Obama!

Obama will slap Hillary upside her head by winning W. Virginia.

It's time for Clinton to plan a dignified exit strategy, and end the delusion of contesting presidency. Hmmm. President Barack Obama, has a nice ring to it. Get used to saying it, because he is unstoppable. OBAMA08

I just wish hillary would think about the damage she is doing to the democratic party. WHY WHY WHY???

forget about Hillary keep doing the good work for all race

McCain will devastate Obama in a general election. That's why so many rabid Republicans, like Rush Limbaugh, want Barack to be the nominee. They know that only Hillary can and will beat John. That's also why there is this corporate chorus for her to drop out. Ain't gonna happen.

I don't think she's going to be attacking Obama. I think the point of all this is to register new voters to the Democratic party in all 50 states, and they have done a great job at that.

Democrats Unite '08!

Bill pandered as a politician and lied as a spouse. Hillary is half way home.

Cathy, that's a typical response from a typical supporter. I mean she's been running a both a Dem and Rep at times, why not try her hand at the independent arena b/c after all this is ALL ABOUT Hillary and her Presidency.

Hillary is for everybody! Not just black people. Not just urban areas. Not just educated people. Not just the elitists. She is for everyone. Hillary is the best there is.

Dear Hillary,

YOU ARE OVER!!!

Love,
Democrats

When they finish with the remaining states on the previously agreed upon order, perhaps she will suggest to start the voting all over - in alphabetical order.
And when that's over, she will suggest reverse alphabetical order.
And when that's over….

Go Hillary! I mean Go AWAY Hillary!

I don't think Obama has a shot at winning WVA in the general nor does he have a shot at beating McCain b/c the white and Hispanic demographics in the swing states heavily favor McCain

McCain may be a formidable opponent but not for Hillary. Why is she still here?

Let me see if I understand this correctly…if there is a state she is favored to win, it is A MUST WIN STATE for dems. If there is a state that he is favored to win, it doesn't matter (i.e. states with African-American populations, caucus states, certain swing states, etc.)

Give me a break!

Sorry but there aren't enough of Obama's core to even have a respectable showing in this State. He'll lose by 30 points.

I guess her winning only big states message is old b/c now she's trying win all 50 states. Well she has alot of catching up to do since she has only managed to win 16 states so far.

Now Hillary is pandering to West Virginians. I was expecting her to
show up here dressed as a ham. West Virginia is Obama country.
The Hillary crowds are really small. We want unity, not division.

Why do the Democrats keep talking about "winning states," when the DNC doesn't allocate delegates on a winner-take-all basis? These upcoming primaries don't matter when it'll be the supers who decide everything. How undemocratic is the process of having superdelegates, by the way?

Hillary you are pathetic!
