Hopefully Former Representative Bonior won't have the same effect on Senator Obama's presidential prospects that he did on Senator Edwards.'
Who gives a flip!
Edwards still can't endorse anyone?
Go Hillary!!!!!
...didn't do much as a Campaign Manager; not too impressed of the endorsement!
Go Hillary!!!!!!
anyone know of any websites to boycott obama I am a big hillary supporter, female, white, catholic, blue colar, uneducated, clinging to my guns and religion. Anyone else upset about the pressure for hillary to leave the race. I am one of those that will vote for McCain only to cancel an Obama vote. I think we need a website so the democratic party realizes how serious we are.
Obama may steal the nomination -but will not win the election in November. He can talk the talk but seems to be unable to walk the walk. Vacations in the middle of an important election? Never had to pay his dues? Disenfranchising voters? He simply does not know how to win more than a couple demographics.
Well, that is just great!
Limbaugh is a moron, who would listen to him anyway?
It is time for John Edwards to do the same; the whole country is desperate for this change and he knows it.
Hillary is trying to buy the White House loaning money to her campaign; when she n loaned the first 5 million dollars she said that it was a good investment; I don’t do an investment unless I’m getting a good rate of return. The president’s salary is $400,000 per year, so, she will need to be president 12.5 years just to get her principal back and having work free all that time.
She is trying to buy the White House with those loans; but the housing market is not doing so well and she will have to foreclose before she gets in it.
Let's hope Elizabeth and John Edwards join him. They have a lot to offer the Obama campaign– a far better choice for them than swimming toward a sinking ship.
Oh WOW, another nut case....Obama will never win in the General...I hope they all enjoy their loss!!
If not Hillary...then McCain!!!
Hillary is kidding herself and trying to kid the superdelegates. Hillary could never win the general election. More people would vote against her than for her. Operation chaos helped her in Indiana to the tune of 15% of people in the exit polls said they would not vote for her in the general election. She is simply divisive.
Obama is really the nominee at this point. And our best chance for winning the general election.
So what? Obviously Rep. Bonior couldn't do much for John Edwards, so I guess he will make an attempt for Obama? Not saying much here.
The Clinton's are done, the Clinton's are done, the Clinton's are done!
hahahahaha.
Obama 08
So great
Hello..John Edwards..Where are you ?The winners are waiting for you
Obama 08
Rush needs to be in jail he has also called for riots in the streets.
He flatters himself does he think he is relavent?
Is he a superdelegate?? Is he bringing Edwards' endorsement with him?
If the answer is no, then why is this news...?
Seriously, WHY is this news, if there is more to the story, give it to us, or say something to the effect of "to be continued".
That's wonderful. At least Edwards' campaign manager makes his own decisions and doesn't allow his friends, acquaintances, or "his wife" to pigeonhole him into silence. Take notes Edwards.
why would anyone care what rush limbaugh says. the only people that listen to him are guillible republicans
Come on Mr Edwards...Pledge!
Thank you,,,,,,,,,,, now where is John
Obama 08
Is he a Super?...or is this not news at all.
I guess either way its good for Obama.
Thanks, now will Edwards be too far behind?
dems,united we stand ,divide we fall,lets unite and send bush packing.
Clinton has won 10 of the Battleground states compared to Obama's 7
Clinton has won EVERY state needed to win the General Election, and then some.
For the Obama supporters that say Obama does NOT need Clinton or FL or MI...wow...you are dumber than you are supposed to be.
If Clinton chose to run as an Independant....she would beat BOTH Obama and McCain in a General Election....
I think she should do it! Too bad she is so loyal to the Democratic Party...
By the way...you Obama supporters that say a vote for Clinton is Racist...actually YOUR comment is the Racist comment. You may support your candidate vigorously, but to globalize and group all Clinton voters like that shows the racism in the remarks to begin with.
Only part of the reason you have helped to divide the party.
Uh, oh! Getting closer to an Edwards endorsement every day!
What a stupid endorsement.
way to go.
Welcome aboard Rep. Bonior.
Thank you
Idiot!
Welcome aboard Mr. Bonior, Democrats unite , I can't afford another 4 years of Bush
john edwards will be next inspite of his wifes wishes MAN-UP JOHNNY BOY
Welcome Rep< Bonior. We are happy to have you the team of honesty and integrity!
We will unite this country. YES WE CAN!
. . . Democrats unite, and save the country from McCain's continuing
policies of George Bush. (The gas prices in Michigan hit $4.00 a gallon).
Yes We Can.
Thank you Mr. Bonior. Now, if Edwards and Gore will declare for Obama, we can concentrate on winning the Election!!!!
this guy backs one loser after another. obama can't beat mccain. obama only wins big red states, that will go to mccain in the general.
Come and join the Obama team John and Elizabeth
!! We would be honored to have you!
Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama won't work I realized. Obama's record will hunt both of them if they are on the same ticket, it will hurt both of them. Best Obama run in November his way if he is a nominee. He and his supporters just need to figure out how to win over Hillary's constituency who most likely will make up thier own mind. Or perhaps they have already some other plan.
I suppose Hillary can quit anytime if she chose to, unless there is something we don't know and she should keep going against all the fights and fuss from her own party and the media. We know she doesn't need to prove anything to anybody now. She run an ectraordinary campaign and she will be very well respected, both domestically and internationally after this. She deserves good break soon from campaigning so hard.
This election is the most interesting election I can remember paid attention to, with so many complicaions and the evolution of media, political parties, race, gender and so on. I really learned a lot about the party though.
and who cares?
TOO LATE EDWARDS, TOO LATE. STAY ON THE SIDE NOW AND DONT BOTHER TO RUN AGAIN. YOU DID NOT GET MORE THEN 6% OF ANY STATE ANYWAY.
How sad for the democratic party to select a person who will lose in November. Obama is a black version of Dukakis. So, if we who are more central democrats, those who are more to the right added to those who are racist, the Independents who can't even decide which side of the fence to be on, then throw in the Republicians who will vote for McCain, how can Obama win? The Black vote will not carry Obama in the General Election. The Young voters will probable not even vote in the General. That leaves McCain as the next President of the US…This in a year that should have been ours for the taking. Hillary did not divide this party Obama did. Obamas' the urgency of now, is what caused this divide. He will throw anybody under the bus to be President! Anyone who doesn't believe this, is indeed an Idiot!
Now that's what I'm talking about.!!! Thank you Mr. Bonoir!! 8 more to go and Obama will tie Hillary in the Superdelegate numbers! He will than be winning in all categories.
Barack – a leader for ALL people!!!
I do not cease to be amused by the frenzy surrounding the endorsement fever. Is it not so clear who the Democratic presumptive nominee is? It is only logical at this point to allow Barrack Obama run as the party's presidential candidate. The handwriting is on the wall for Hillary Clinton.
By the way, why did she have to meet with party officials yesterday.? I guess she must have tried to spin them to nominate her. It is a pity.
I have a question: what is the deal with John Edwards? Mr. "I'm for the little guy," with like a 10 million dollar estate; why hasn't he endorsed anyone? Is he waiting for the best deal? Attorney General with Hillary? Vice President with Obama?
Typical lawyer, out for himself.
I'd rather know what Edwards thinks. If it was Edwards instead of Clinton running right now I'd have a tough time right now deciding whether I'd vote for Edwards or Obama.
Now just convince Edwards to get out the closet and endorse Barack.
Is it possible that Hillary is just staying in the race at this point to try to make back some of the money she lost in "loans" to her campaign? I can't blame her if that is the case but I would hope that people that are donating to her campaign would want to know where their money is going.
Welcome!
We welcome you!
ABOUT TIME
Congrats to Mr. Bonior. When Americans of "all" colors see party officials uniting with Senator Obama, then the critics and doubters about Senator Obama's bona fides for the highest office in the land will perhaps be silenced for good!
OBAMA 2008
Thank you John Edwards!
Wonderful. Now if we could just get John to follow suit.
Outstanding!!! Thank you Mr Bonior!!! Let's end this, start the healing process and obliterate McCain in November!!!
John Edwards needs to let it be known now who he endorses!!!! There is no need to wait any longer.
Another day, another endorsement.
I think Oboma will make a great presedent. He is not thinking of only the africanamerican community , he is enclusive of all people.I' think he can relate to black and white because he is both. He can also relate to the plight of the average persons. He know what it's like to start from the bottom up.
Very Good News.
Better Late than never. Where is Edwards himself? Kind of difficult to intelligently figure him out.
Thank you Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior, for doing the right thing for our party by endorsing Barack Obama for president.
The Super delegates are showing unfairness to the nominee that has been voted to serve our party in November. We are to believe HRD loves the Democratic party, If this is love we are seeing from someone who wants to be the President than hate would be equal to this so call love.
To the people whom supported HRC and now states that they will not vote for Obama, that they will change parties and vote for McCain, Apparently, you had this in mind anyway. If HRC had been the one that the people had voted in, I would have given her my support because I do love being a Democratic and four more years with a 3rd Bush agenda is a nightmare.
Please Super delegates do not let these idol threats shake your mind, do the right thing and join Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior and the rest who know that Obama won fair and square...
For those of you that worry about HRC, you really need to worry about yourself, anyone with $11 M+ sitting around to borrow to use for an election will be doing GREAT mentally, physical and of course financially without the bragging rights of being our first woman president.
Welcome abroad, and know your former employer (John Edward) is welcome too. Although he elected to not make a public endorsement prior to the NC election.
Slowly and each SuperD chooses Senator Obama. This shows that that delegate is making a deliberate choice and is not being forced to chose.
I am so tired of this. Hillary please bow out gracefully. Please spare us all, we know you are bigger than graveling for votes.
Next stop, The Edwards.
Hillary, you are done, seriously
Can we all please come together? I keep hearing these biased comments. I also hear people talking about switch to the republican side if their candidate does not win. Is it really that serious? I'm sure we will all agree that McCain's Republican agenda is truly worst than either one of our fine democratic candidates. Let make peace and change the USA!
Thank you so much !!! Welcome aboard.....onward to Denver and Nov. I hope that the Clinton supporters have a good turnout in W. Va. and well soon be able to move on to our express. We have made room for all of our Democratic family Members. We must win in Nov. to change the direction and future of OUR country.
Good news keep coming.
Go on obama.The nation is behind you.
Great....when is Edwards going to see the light....endorse now....you may get a seat in the cabinet or even the VP spot!
This may be single....
Good.... Next please.
is he a Superdelegat?
The unpledged "superdelegates" will steadily endorse Obama, except for those who are politically obligated to go with Clinton. And the news today about Hollywood mogul Wienstein strong-arming Nancy Polosi is just another pathetic reflection on the Clinton campaign. Mathematically, it's over. Go quietly into the good night....
This is truly a good sign of things to come
Does this signify the beginning of the end for Hillary coming on top of the switch by George Mcgovern and the financial bancruptcy of the Clinton Campaign.
If America wants a change and a democrat in the Whitehouse the only candidate with the financial clout and superior nation wide support staff and volunteers is Barack Obama. as for the Michigan votes I believe that in a contested Primary Obama would have won in Florida Hillary probably would have won, the simple answer is to allocate these two primaries Is 55-45 Obama Michigan 55-45 Clinton Florida.
Obama is clearly going to be the Nominee, the quicker the party gets there the Better the chances of the Whitehouse,
LETS GO FOR IT NOW
I cannot see Hillary as the VP however a senior position for Hillary and Bill in Obama's cabinet would seem to be a really good strategic move by the Democrat's which I could support whole heartedly
But it is clearly inevitable that it will be an Obama : McCain match up in November.
Barack Obama is running a great campaign; he is breaking records in donations to his campaign; what is really happening is that the American People are making their voices be heard; I’m making 25 dollar donations to this campaign every time I can; I want that money to be spent in all kind of advertisement. If we outspent Hillary 3 to 1 it is because ordinary people getting together can accomplish extraordinary results. Barack is the new guy in the block, but he has been around for over 20 years in politics and people who know him are giving him their support, that is why is important to deliver his message to the whole country and to the world, so, he is not the new guy in the block.
It may take more time than people would like, myself included, but when Obama stays positive and sticks to his message it does work and more people will come to his side. I think he is initially weakened by the old school political attacks and gimmicks but, when people have a moment to consider the situation, they are impressed by his principled approach.
Great news and many more superdels to come I'm sure.
stay +
Welcome aboard a winning campaign! My only question to you also is, what took you so long
?
YES WE CAN!
and now the floods gate open.....about time the democrats stopped fighting when everybody knows who the nominee is going to be.
Is he a SuperD? Welcome aboard regardless!
And by the way... Get off the FL and MI nonsense already! Hillary can brain wash her supporters but she cannot brain wash the folks who knows the truth about those States!
Hillary KNOWS the penalty for violating the RULES! Yes folks RULES you break them you pay! Its NOT Sen. Obama's doings rememer his name was NOT even on the Ballot in MI so please tell me Hillarious Supporters HOW in gods earth is THAT fair!!!! Now that Hillary is LOSING! She wants to re write the rules mid stream! GET OVER IT!!!!!
ITS DONE!!! HILLARY IS TOAST!
If he's not a superdelegate, then this is pretty useless...
Too late, buddy! You missed your chance to make an impact!
At this point, we pretty much don't need you or Mr. Edwards...
But for the sake of party unity.... Welcome to the winning side!
The DNC should force all of the delegates and super delegates who's states have voted to put in their vote. If your state has voted what are they waiting for. Their excuses are up just like Hillary's are for staying in the race. She's staying in because anything can happen. Why would you wish something bad on a person. Or do they know something already. Politicians and the media are working very hard to keep Obama out of the nomination. I hope something happens that would hinder her. Its a joke to believe that she would help Obama.
ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!
Common John Edwards. Make your own decision, we are not asking you to join the flow, just make the reasonable decision.
Barack Obama Maniac!
Paid for by Daniel!
way to go what about John Edwards what is he waiting for is he afraid of his wife or the Clintons. Time to end this contest John.
Hope is not blind optimism. I wish Hillary could listen to that speech once again and be able to draw the line in her campaign.
Way to go!!!
Too late for the Edwards....
Thank you David. You are a trustworthy person. I hope the undecided superdelegates will come out of their shelves and act as men and women of integrity.
God bless Senator Obama!
God bless Democratic Party!
God bless America!
Love obama to death
Watch the clock, tick, tick, tick. Our man Obama: Most states won, most delegates won, most popular vote won, and pretty soon.....most superdelegates won. Did any one notice oncly 10 difference between Obama and Clinton? It's narrowing steadily. I love this. Clinton, the fat lady is singing. Time to exit gracefully.
it is time for cliton to exit! this endorsment is the farewell party sign for her to quite. I love her but we have to unite!
Good man David Bonior. Now just have John Edwards come forward to endorse Obama and the world will sing. Do you really want someoe in the White House (Hillary) who will not listen to anyone but herself (sound familiar). Stubbornness and "MY way or the Highway" is how the White House has been run for the last 7 years.
GO OBAMA
Wow! Now that's impressive!
How in the world did we end up with this grab bag of candidates for the most powerful office in the world? Hillary is a lier, Obama thinks he is going to change the way Washington works, and McCain (more to come later on him).
I see this only as the first as the flood gates will be opening soon!!!!! Way to go NC and IN. The news is very different this morning than it has been the last 16 months!!!
Oh, to my fellow Obama supporters, give the name calling a rest. We won and now is the time we work on getting the HRC people in our cornor and on our side. Let's show them who Obama is and why we support him. We need the HRC people. Without them we as a party are doomed to a 3rd bush term. Really, who what's that???????????????
Wow, this is just sad. Could he really think that (a) the Dem superdelegates would listen to him or (b) his listeners are that stupid (snicker, snicker)?
John Edwards will be coming soon!
Great Move
It comes a time to do what is right, Time to make a move John.
Obama )*
thank you David! I thank you, your party thanks you, and your country thanks you!
I am pleased to know that all of the democratic superdelegates are not cowards. clinton/obama? It matters not for whom you vote, just do it. Say it loud and say it clear. Have a backbone for a change. Let's get this show on the road.
Obama 08.
Who cares about Former Rep. David Bonior endorsement? Senator Obama has won North Carolina........John Edwards take your ball and go home. You tried to blackmail Senator Obama and he would not play your game.
How dare Tim Russert suggest that the Obama campaign help Senator Clinton with her campaign debts. I suggest that Hillary Clinton return to rural America, over 50, white and uneducated and ask them to donate the $28.00 they would have saved from the suspension of the gas tax. They were gullible the first time and I am sure Senator Clinton can convince them to help her out, after all her $109M would require liquidation and she certainly doesn't want to lose her $28.00 a second of interest.
Senator Clinton threw the kitchen sink at Senator Obama, I now think it is time for the Obama campaign to turn on the garbage disposal........don't you think?
I have been a democrat for 40 years, but this election I will vote
for John McCain. I will never vote for Obama as I DO NOT believe
in him. The media can say all they want that Hillary supporters will
unite the partybut let me tell you they are dead wrong. The people that
supported Hillary did so because the absolutly do not believe Obama
is qualified and has too much anti american baggage. If Obama wins,
I can and many other can say when he screws up, we DIDN'T vote
for him.
,
Join the family Rep. David Bonior.
I wonder what David Bonnier thinks about the controversy regarding the Michigan primary mess. His former staffer, Mark Brewer is the state party chair. Too much game playing and over intriguing going on in Michigan.
It would serve them right if their delegates never got seated. But that would hurt in the general election. If McCain taps Romney to be VP, he will definitely put Michigan in play.
The stranglehold of the old, organized labor pols that helped screw Michigan up in the primary will have small effect in delivering a vote for Obama.
Bonnier is going with Obama bcz he needs to stay relevant. I wonder what Obama had to give him to get him. Waiting is really not a bad thing.
Time is on Obama's side. With all these supers. There is nothing to be desperate about, certainly. If I were Obama, I'd wait , and let them come to him. These people have nowhere else to go and it will cost Obama less to wait.
Same with the older white women who support Hillary. Will they actually consider voting McCain or not voting at all, with the possibility of two Supreme Court appointments coming up on the next president's watch? I doubt it. If Bonnier is a super delegate, this is good. If not, it is "so what." I don't think Bonnier has much influence over Edwards. In fact, I'd be willing to bet on it.
The ball is rolling for Obama and Clinton is only working to disenfranchise her supporters from voting the first black man into office instead of her being the first female President. As a republican who originally thought he was going to vote for a Dem, Clinton's campaign only confirming my originally beliefs that Dems are only out to hear themselves talk instead of actually making changes. If you want to beat McCain you need to back Obama and work for the support of the entire party or else 4 more years for my registered party...
Lets get this done. Hillary is done. Bow out now. It would be nice to see her be gracious about something once in her life. I detest poor sportsmanship !!!! I detest lack of morals. And I hate her holier than thou attitude!!!
Thank you, Mr. Bonior for taking a stand. Is Former Michigan Rep. David Bonior a superdelegate? If Mr. Bonior is endorsing Senator Obama, will John Edwards be making an announcement any time soon? I think his decision could finally put an end to the delusional charade this Primary season has become.
It's time the superdelegates removed the fence polls from their backsides and do what they were chosen to do – make a decision. They can put an end to this, but fearing repercussions, they won't do that. I think they need to look at the fact that their fear of making a decision brings their re-electability into question. Who wants a politician that can’t make a decision even with most of the facts already in and a clear choice to be made? If they can't take a little criticism for their choices, then they should not be in politics.
Welcome to the winners circle.
THANK YOU REP.BONIOR!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR HAVING A SPINE !!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR INDORSING ONCE IN A LIFETIME LEADER!!!!!!
BARACK THE TRUTH OBAMA08
We sincerely hope John & Elizabeth Edwards back Hillary Clinton,
wonderful
thank you sir and welcome aboard
i am sure mr obama will make us all proud
god bless you and the great usa
and mostly
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
And I hope Edwards and Elizabeth will jump on the train too. The wait and see game is over. Come on Edwards.
Dubai
Who cares just another wimpy individual with no backbone!
How can so many so called Democrats be sabatoging our party like this? Obama will NEVER be president. We hate him and no one can change that! I do!n;t know about the rest of you but Florida democrats stand ready to squash Obama like a bug in the general election! I love my country too much to allow it to be bought and paid for by foreign interests, which is behind obamas financial success. My country is NOT FOR SALE!
Is he a superdelegate? If not, then who cares?
The O-train is moving. Come on before it is too late!!!!!
Good news!. And what about Edwards? Given the victory in NC, I would hope he pledges his 26 delegates to Obama. I respect his and his wife's split feelings about the candidates, but every delegate counts, and the Dem's are trying to bring this primary season to a respectable close.
Edward's backing and delegate pledge could help a great deal.
BTW Edwards would make a great Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare........a cabinet post with great power. Certainly as much as he has as a private citizen running a foundation.
Let the remaining states vote and on June 3rd Declare Obama the Nominee....Florida and Michigan will then be seated and Obama pick the right VP that will help unify the party and bottom line, BEAT MCCAIN IN THE FALL.......
The endorsments, "Clinton said this about Obama" and everything else (the news) is reporting is good and everthing, but I want to know when are we (the people) are gonna get a break on this gas thing?
I mean seriously, what the H*LL is going on? The gas in IL is above $4 and still going up, therefore who and what are they going to do about this gas hike and how soon!?!?
Can someone, in the Media, please ask the politicans qestions about the gas? Enough of the other stuff for now, please do this story!
I am glad to hear this!! I hope John will too but I know Mrs. Edwards is for Hillary or at least was and maybe it is out of respect for his ill wife.
Anyway I'm glad Bonior did and I think in about three days we will see lots more of the superdelegates coming on board.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT
Good for him, Edwards hasn't endorsed Obama because he wants to be the VP and Obama must have someone else in mind. Why should Obama put him as VP when he has already made Kerry lose.
Beat her while she's down. What a despicable thing to do to a good Democrat who's fought for the disenfranchized, represents the core values of the party, is a unifying senator, and would make a terrfiic president. What a bunch of jerks the Democrat elites are! That's why I won't vote for Obama.
Great News... We need all the voices to run the Clinton's out of town!
Tick tock tick tock! Time, money and voters are running out for poor Hillary! Superdelegates are defecting to Obama and he only needs about 169 delegates for nomination. Tick tock tick tock.
Great! Now how about Edwards?
Welcome aboard. Does this mean Edwards is not far behind?
Thank you very much, Sir.
unite democrats,behind obama.it's time enough.follow the trend.by now even if ur a clinton supporter,you this obama has won long time ago.
Who ever heard of this guy!?!?! Hey CNN: If I publicly endorse Obama, can I get my name and picture on the ticker, too?!?!
McCain 08
what is john edward is waiting for
Wow, well there you have it...and the floodgates open!
way to go now what about Edwards?
Common sense prevails
Wonderful Rep. Mr. David Bonior! Smart people get it! Congratulations!
Ok people let explore those "experience" thing people hung themselves upon:
- If one is experienced driver, one knows how much gas ones car/truck takes, and when and how to top the oil, etc.
- if one is a homemaker, one knows what items that are needed for the home to function, food items, utilities, etc. One knows how to maintain family budget
-if one is working in a plant, one understands the processes and proceedures
- if one is working at in a fastfood chain, one understands how much "freedom fries", breads, etc are needed per day
- when you are in for audition, for American Idol, acting role, etc, your performance determines if you have what it takes
The question how can HRC claim the she is such an "exprienced" candidate, when she cannot maintain campaign budget? No corporate manager will ever recruit an executive that demonstrates such a result! Objectively speaking, I cannot trust any person cann't demonstrate organisational, leadership, financial and business acumen with such an importat position as USA Presidency! Primaries gives a reasonable insight how a person can perform in the office!
OK CNN, NO Edwards isnt endorsing yet, get over it!
All these silly little side stories like
"Edwards Stubs his toe and say Obama!, Uhmm I mean He sah Oh Mama!" and
"Edwards Campaign Hair Styist Supports Obama" are just geting to be kinda pathetic on your part. Don't report random endorsements unless they're superdelegate ok? OK.
Just wait!
The weather is getting more clearer and friendlier for Obama
Lets come together and change this country for the better! "Divided we fall, united we stand."
Obama '08
Aa a former Canadian resident, now living in Spain, I have been enthralled by the ups and downs of your very exciting Democratic Party elections for Presidential nominee. In my view your party is fortunate to have had such strong candidates. One, Sen Clinton the establishment's original choice; the other a relatively unknown Sen Obama, an African American who has excited a large number of individuals not only in the US but also around the world.
In the 1970`s, a young French Canadian lawyer stunned everyone in Canada with his nomination as leader of the Liberal Party ( Democratic, sort of) and went on to defeat the Conservative ( Republican, sort of) older and more experienced candidate in the General Election. He inspired a new age of young voters with his vision and desire for change and went on to be regarded by many as one of Canada`s great Prime Ministers.
The parallels with Sen Obama are obvious.
I will watch the Obama vs McCain contest with great interest to see if history repeats itself south of the border.
Bonior has proven he has more integrity, judgement, decency and common sense than the one he was campaign manager for.
Is anyone surprised that these limp dicked cowards are waiting until the nomination is all but certain before jumping on the bandwagon?
Typical politics! Nothing new here. Why is this even news? Same b.s.!
Excellent!
OK CNN, NO Edwards isnt endorsing yet, get over it!
All these silly little side stories like:
"Edwards Stubs his toe and says Obama!, Uhmm We mean he said Oh Mama!" and
"Edwards Campaign Hair Stylist Supports Obama" are just geting to be kinda pathetic on your part.
Don't report random endorsements unless they're superdelegates ok? OK.
Just wait!
As an Independant who has decided to vote for Obama, this marks the first time I will have ever voted Democrat.
I usually vote third party or Republican. So I consider my self an outsider looking in, for almost every election.
But I have never seen anything like the divided loyalties with in the Democratic party this time around.
I have to say, I am not impressed at all.
Zero unity
Zero commitment to the party (with voters threatening to vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't win),
Zero integrity in many of the arguements made for campaign mangement. (IMO largely by Senator Clinton's campaign).
Zero chance to win in November if this continues.
Bonior has proven he has better judgement, decency, integrity and common sense than the one he ran his campaign for.
Thank you Mr. Bonior
There we go, waiting for the others. Little by litle bird build the nest
Thank you Bonier! Now, where is Edwards himself? Why is he not stepping forward? We need these figures to show some integrity! Gore, Edwards? You know this race is over in every logical sense? Don't be afraid to hurt a woman's feelings. You need to do what is RIGHT by our country!
I am a woman for Obama! Always have and always will be.
Thank You
Wow this guy is daring! Way out on a limb!!!
Are we Americans going to let two nuts,Wright and Limbaugh determin who wins this election? They have absolutely nothing to say about jobs, health care home security,bringing troops home.changing the strangle hold special interests have over our goverment. They only have racial end divisive remarks and or trying to cheat the election process by urging republicans to vote for the democrat they hope to defeat.
Its a shame we cant put them both in a sack and throw them into the the trash where they belong
Although I am a strong Obama's supporter, I do admire Hillary for her strenght and I believe she would be a good president. If she would rung for the president 4 years ago or 8 years later, I would definitely vote for her.
What a surprise............But honestly though these supers aren't stupid and for the sake of the party they are trying to do the right thing. To the Clinton team and supporters – do what is right for the country. Wait for the rest of the elections are over if you must and then do the right, enlightened thing for the good of this country that you 'claim' you care so much about.
Now everyone says she is holding out for VP.I won't vote for any ticket with her on it.
This will likely open the floodgates for the rest of Edwards' campaign staff and volunteers to make the leap. It is a good idea to join while she is still in the race, because that will increase their chances of getting a job in January.
We love Hillary and Bill to death, but I strongly believe it's time for senator Hillary Clinton to call it quit. Conceding to Senator Obama does not defined you as been weak, but as a fighter ready to unite the democratic party and put an end to the Republican BAD leadership rule.
Why not Edwards? Now it is time he shows some sense of judgement othewise his endorsment at later stage would not count.
You lost with Edwards and now you're going to lose with Nobama.
Nobama can not win against McCain.
Very nice, but this is just one more endorement that means very little. The only endoresements that matter at this point are those of the superdelegates.
Obama and Clinton are probably going to split the remaining states. I'll tune in to this whole endorsement thing once enough supers weigh in.
Keep the superdelegates coming!!! Go Barack.
How exciting for this Obama supporter! Certainly many Edwards backers - like those in my Kansas caucus - gave their support to Obama. However, at this point, Clinton needs to make the move to end this nominating process so that Dems can focus on the general election. Super delegates cannot afford to alienate large parts of their constituencies by coming out for either Obama or Clinton until the race is decided by some other means. Super delegates are stuck; Clinton must make a move - or we will continue this divisive primary season.
welcome to the winner's circle. where's edwards?
Great! Maybe Edwards will follow suit and that sorry spectacle of Clinton's blindness will be over and the democrats can move on to engage McCain.
I can't figure out whether Hillary just can't take no for an answer (even from so many voters) or if her purpose is darker... trying to ensure Obama doesn't get her supporters votes in the GE, so she can make a move in 2012 (after all McCain is less likely to serve a second term than Obama).
From what I've seen of the lady, this darker alternative is the more likely.
Woohoo! And so the trickle continues. Hopefully Edwards himself will change his mind and decide to endorse (Obama) as well. All aboard the Obama Express! Next stop – 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!
HE DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE! ALL OF YOU PEOPLE ARE FOOLISH!!!
I AM SURPRISED THOUGH AT HOW MANY OF YOU ARE WILLING TO GO DOWN WITH OBAMA!
WHAT IS HE OFFERING?
GO HILLARY!!!!!
As an Obama supporter, I think all these endorsements should wait until the primary season is over and here's why:
1. Clinton deserves a chance to finish out her bid for the White House
2. Allowing Clinton to run her course will give her supporters a sense of closure
3. The time will give Obama a chance to work on his fall campaign strategy and work the democratic base into a strong and unified coalition
For all you Sen. Clinton supporters, KUDOS. You ran a good race and I think the whole democratic party is stronger for it.
Obama '08/'12
Wonderful!!
That is a very good news. Let's make the history!
Thank you Sir. Its a good move. I wish your Ex Boss( John Edwards) learn something from you
O.K know is Edward turn. Obama 08, 12
OK, so here we go. It should be any day now for Edwards to get on board. If his State has spoken, and his campaign head has spoken, its just a matter of time, its just a matter of time now.
YES WE CAN – Obama 2008
Keep them coming!
As a white american, who is tired of old style politics, I welcome this endorsement. Not because of skin color or any of that crap. But because one day our sons and daughters may want to run for President and they can use Obama's model as an example!!
irs time for HILLary to go! it's over stop now !
Bonior is lame...
I really hope Senator Clinton runs as an Independent because I will NEVER vote for someone with no experience that can only make up his mind when the media pressures him into it and who's wife and best friend hate our country... No chance for that kind of change!!!
Na Na Na Na..... Na Na Na Na.....Hey hey good-bye Hillary.........
OBAMA 08
good news for OBAMA
Everyone knows that Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee. Everyone knew that a long time ago. Everyone was afraid to come out and go against the Clintons. Which, given the Clinton's power in DC, was not the wrong move to make. The party must be unified.
To Hillary Clinton Supporters,
Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama had their differences, this is true. But, to say that you would rather vote for McCain than Obama is asinine. Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama saw eye to eye on 90% of the issues that they fought about. McCain doesn't see eye to eye on anything. Why would you rather get none of what you want than 90% of what you want? It doesn't even matter what the issue is. If somebody is offering you 90% of something and 50% of something, you'd take the 90% everytime. Think about it for a minute...
Now it is time for Edwards to follow!
My fellow democrats, let us now stop our pointless bickering and vote for Obama in November. I would like to call upon the independents and open-minded republicans to vote for a new way forward. Let us get together as Americans and achieve a new glory for our country.
John and Elizabeth, what are you waiting for? It's about time. Thanks Mr. Bonior. The Democratic Party is more than one person ambition or ego. Enough is enough. Bring on MR. TEMPER (John Mccain ).
What surprises me in all this is that the "super" delegates are afraid to do what effective leaders do. Effective leaders make hard decisions that will lead their followers down a path that is best for all. It is apparent that Clinton intentions are to divide the Democratic Party and the "super" delegates are refusing to do what best for the party overall and end this insurrection of Clinton to hand the presidency to McCain.
I just love loyal people, Bonior must be another, America is the greatest country in the world–help me to change it ! Obamas big headline maker! Just doesn't make any sense to me! But I'm not real big on MARXISM,
John Edwards himself must be soon to come!
I am hoping Obama is our next President and I expect
Hillary will be a great supporter for our party as she
has always been. Le'ts get this country back in the
hands of people who care about it's people, not the
corporations and billionaires who care only about
money and power.
WELCOME!
OBAMA 08!!
This means Edwards is leaning toward Clinton!!!
its about time people get behind the front runner
Another wise man!
Keep 'em coming!
OBAMA 08!
I did not know that CNN is now the Hillary Clinton Donation Headquaters. The first thing that you see when you go into their website is a picture of Hillary Clinton, begging for money. CNN do all a favor and just report the news and stop Promoting candidates. Hillary Clinton don't need your help, and if you keep this up you will lose alot of ratings. Obama for President.
CV
This means Edwards is leaning toward Clinton!! Don't count her out yet, people. She knows far more about Obama than any of the rest of us. If she didn't think she could, and would, win then she would have dropped out a long time ago!!
It is about time everyone realizes who the new champ is.........
OBAMA,OBAMA,OBAMA,OBAMA,OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drip, drip, drip....
I think that we are going to continue to see a steady stream of SuperD endorsements for Barack Obama. I would guess that it'll be an average of three or four per day for the next couple of weeks.
The best thing for Hillary to do now is to continue to spread her message while on the campaign trail – but to keep it positive. Any attacks on the Obama campaign will start make her appear like a sore loser. If she stays positive with her message, I think it will go a long way towards healing and uniting the Democratic party.
http://thepajamapundit.com/
Something makes me think H.Clinton is staying on to divide the party, well, i am happy that people like Bonior are endorsing Obama. Clinton should get out now she still has the grace of doing that, if not she might have to do it shamefully.
Why are Democrats such whiners? I'm yet to hear any Republican say that they don't like McCain therefore they are going to vote for the Democratic nominee. And I'm particularly appalled at all these women who won't vote or will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. Are these women going to be content with lower wages because McCain doesn't believe women deserve equal pay as men? Or are they goignto whine, as usual? Democrats should grow up!
This is the start of the floodgates opening. I believe the SD's now feel comfortable enough to go to Obama and not have to worry about upsetting the Clinton's. Everyone knows this race is over now and it's more about letting Hillary recoup her 11 million in loans than her getting the nomination. As much as I don't like her politics, she put up a heck of a fight. Now, let's get behind Senator Obama and maybe we can see something different out of Washington.
Thank-you Sir!!!!
The rats are now climbing on board. If he was so fired up about Obama, why didnt he endorse him sooner.
Hillary Clinton has so alienated African American voters , if she is to have any chance to win a another senate seat she must begin to mend the hard feelings between her and black voters, and she can't do that if stays in the race the longer she stays in the harder that will be ! she must get out now ! (yes obama can )
Edwards to follow!
Come on, John.
Come on, Al.
Come on, Jimmy.
Come on Donna.
Come on in, the water's fine!
OBAMA '08
I hope the Edwards follow suit shortly. It's the right thing to do for our country.
welcome aboard!
Great choice maybe he thought the same thing I did yesterday when McGovern came over to support Obama. I was wondering why McGovern phoned Bill to tell him that he was switching his support from the Clinton camp to Obama. Could it be that the real Clinton who would answer the phone at 3:00am would be Bill and not his puppet Hillary. Funny thing McGovern called Bill isn't it !
Hillary08
HE'S ABOUT A DAY LATE BUT WE WELCOME ALL!!!
Everybody should follow suit.
Obama has won the nymbers by the rules. Anything else is just manuvering. WE NEED TO BEAT JOHN MCCAIN.
Why so early?
Please wait till November to endorse Obama.
These guys are afraid fo Clintons and are spineless.
Thanks, Sir. Eventually, everyones wake up to face the real problems and support Obama.
People are now seeing Hillary for what she really is.
To Kathy In Ohio – I think the website you are looking for is called hillaryclinton.com – but didn't you hear Hillary is finished, she lost again Bye Bye !
Your comment about voting republican only shows your true feelings – you like MCSAME.
The rats are now crawling aboard. If he's so fired up about that EGo in a suit, why didnt he endorse sooner? Another far left wing looser.
stop the fighting. a lot of the writers here from both sides sound like a bunch of poor sport cry babies. WE must defeat Mccain. That is the objective.
kathy in ohio: you sound like an idiot. You'd vote for McCain to cancel an Obama vote? GROW UP!
Is a super delegate?? if so ............. welcome on board ...
p.s THE MORE I WATCH FAUX NEWS THE MORE I AM CONVINCED THE REPUBLICANS ARE AFRAID OF RUNNING AGAINST OBAMA ..... AM 100% ABOUT THIS....
I believe Clinton or Obama would comfortable beat Mc Cain come Nov ....
Dems Time to Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop this hate/resentment & bitterness ..............
If Edwards cannot lead as a superdelegate, Bonior is doing a better leading job than Edwards can.
Its over Hillary supporters, maybe if Hillary would not be a jerk about it, Obama would give her the number 2 spot. The longer she fights and throws gas on the fire the slimmer her chances are.
Well, they might as well, Farrakhan did, we know that now dont we
Thank you Mr. Bonior,
Sir we really appreciate the vote of confidence!
Now, Mr Bonior was John Edwards campaign manager, I wonder if this is a sign of things to come ........Hmmmmmmmmm
For every " Hillary supporter" saying they will vote for McCain. There are 10 people to take your place voting for the Democratic ticket. Take your vote over to McSame. The country spoke in the 2006, the change train cannot be stopped.
Yup, Everyone should know that I'm endorsing Hillary Clinton. And who's this guy again?
breaking NEWS!!! Hillary Clinton is LEADING in number of states won whose names have more than 3 vowels. GO GO GO Hillary GO!!!
Democrats aren't afraid if Obama is the nominee as Hillary and the Republicans would like us to think. Rewind the tape from Bush and McCains debate, that's where the democrats real ammunition is against John McCain. Democrats think about it.
Do you honestly think that the Clinton supporters will unite if Obama is elected?????
Obama supporters cant believe that Clinton supporters will not back Obama if he is nominated....
I see it all over the boards.."time to unite"...oh the Clinton supporters is just saying that...they will come around...
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU....CLINTON SUPPORTERS
will cross party lines and vote for McCain...and you better believe the swing voters and independents will vote for McCain......Hillary has a better chance of to defeat McCain.....but oh these Obama supporters...si idealistically pathetic following an EMPTY SUIT WHO IS TO LIBERAL and not MODERATE!...
So if Obama supporters think that Clinton supporters will back up Obama if he is nominated....think again!!!!
you cant fathom the logic, cant believe it, find it stupid that we will do this
as a Clinton supporter, all I have to say is ..
whatever.....................go back and drink your koolaid! and be prepared for handing the whitehouse to McCain...if it is obama!
Wow, talk about sour grapes. If he had endorsed Clinton, you would be calling it a great endorsement and thumping your chests. Just how old are some of you people?
Just what the world needs, another empty headed obamadite. Well, at least it what the rebublicians need!!! Obama wil never never never never never win against McCain!
Hillary 08 if not McCain 08
stupid men are even in Edwards' camp
Obama never ever will be a President.
Everyone who calls themselves a democrat but would vote republican just because your candidate did not win is a moron and deserves what you have coming. I hope you all wake up and realize you are the reason why the country is in trouble, you are the reason why the economy is tanking, you are the reason why you can't afford to pay for the things your family needs... this type of behavior is exactly why we are where we are.
Grow up and stop being such babies! My dog has more common sense than all of you!!!!
Obama is as much white is he is black. Why do so many people hate him so much. Only an idiot would vote for McCain. He is a cookie cutter Mini Me G. W. Bush. If you want to give Bush a third term, vote McCain. Kathy in Ohio, you have no regard for your economic well being to make such a ridiculous statement.
Amazing how Hillary folks will vote for another 100 years in Iraq. But then again they want to nuke Iran, so it figures!! Hopefully intelligence will reign. Obama is the lesser of all evils.
NA NA NA NA – NA NA NA NA – HEEEEYYYY GOODBYE!!
OBAMA 08'
Second cousin of random guy who sells Chrismas cards outside the grocery store to endorse endorsement of the old lady with all the cats!
I love the Hillary supporters who say Obama can't win the general election. It will be a landslide for the dems even if a stuffed animal were nominated. Earth to Hillary and her supporters. Hello. come in. Please come back to reality.
To Kathy from Ohio – What are you talking about? Do you want the war in Iraq to go on for 100 years? Do you want the wealthiest Americans to continue getting the highest tax cuts? Do you want to see more jobs shipped overseas? Do you want to see people continue to struggle to get health care or not have it at all? Wake up and get over your "issues"! We need a Dem in the WH. Even if you have to hold you nose while you vote, vote Dem this time.
The fat lady is singing, but Hillary is just too dumb to know it!
Why are some of you still being so negative? The race is almost over it's time to unify. By the way, using all CAPS doesn't make you look rational, just so you know.
Well I don't know if thats good or bad as Edwards didn't make it. I don't care who endorses Obama anymore it looks like he is in anyway and we are not voting for his inexperience in the general.
They should really investigate how they could arrest Rush Limbaugh for fraud, he might still be using drugs.
from europe cyprus OBAMA NO ONE ELSE
Everyone blogging on here saying "Obama can't win". people have such short memories, or were too young when it happened, but the exact same thing happened for Bill Clinton. During his primary campaign he's seen as a draft dodger, the Gennifer Flowers affair, they thought all this would hurt him in the general election, and he was essentially unelectable.
Wonder what ever happened to that guy.....
Earth to Hillary: "The race is over!"
Wake up, Democrats. While you people are enabling Hillary's delusions, the Republicans are actually getting ready to run a Presidential campaign.
Fred and Kathy in Ohio, your remarks show the true ignorance of people in this country. You would rather continue to let our troops die, pay over $4.00 dollars a gal for gas, and watch kids and veterans die from lack of health care to support a person just to not vote the party's nominee. You are not Democrats, you are elephants in disguise.
The end of Hillary's world is nigh.....turn out the lights, baby, the party's over!
OBAMA '08!!
The fact that John Edwards campaign manager would go to Obama's camp, before John Edwards endorses anyone proves he just want's too jump on the band wagon like everyone else. It's politics, and when the real Obama is finally exposed , him and all the rest will find excuses too jump off............lol.
Kathy in Ohio....That is probably one of the most ignornant , uneducated, comments I've heard all day...Most people aren't as stubborn as you and think more about unifying the democratic party rather than your idiotic idea of dividing it.
Kathy,
If you are really serious about holding your vote as a hostage because the candidate you support might not win then do so.
But, don't put it on a blog just to get attention, it makes you sound BITTER.
Obama's found a way to crack that Michigan delegate count after all. Florida is next. Serves that cheating, conniving, prototypical Democratic political hack Hillary right. On the other hand, she is a known substance. Ought to count for something.
We will not drink the Kool Aid!
Its Hillary or Third Party!
Latinos for Hillary!
All you Hillary supporters who say you won't vote for Obama, does that mean you're willing to give up Roe v. Wade? You want conservative judges? You want four more years of war and bad economics?
Welcome to the winning side!!!
Now if the rest will get smart and do the same!
I hope Rush will encourage ALL his listeners to vote for Obama in the general also.
Is he a superdelegate? If not, why is this even news? Wait he's from Michigan so according to Obama, his endorsement doesn't even count.
The game is over, all the cable-news said so, includes ABC, Fox news. She still runs because she needs to find a good path to exit; she still runs because she needs money to pay off her debt, she is asking her supporters to pay even though she got millions millions cash in her pocket.
TO ALL HIlary supporters:
Vote McSame if you want... Obama will still win in November. We do not need your vote.
H. MacArthur, No uniting this party....say goodbye to Obama...either way...he is out!!
Thank you Senator Bonier.
Emma, I so agree. I was really taken aback when I heard Tim Russert suggest that Obama should present a deal to pay off HRC's debt !
I don't think his contributors would appreciate it either.
I am also disheartened to see supporters of Hillary state that they will not vote for Obama and will vote for McCain. That surely is your perogative, however, I hope you never lose someone you know and love in the Iraq War, don’t have to decide to buy a full tank of gas vs. a gallon of milk, do not lose your job and as a result possibly have your home foreclosed on and not have healthcare, watch your 401k or your child’s 529 decline in value, need I say more? If you can in good conscience vote for McCain, then go for it.
John Edwards? The same guy who as Kerry's running mate did not bring in one state- not even his own? How many I's in insignificant?
After reading most of the comments on this blog (and other recent CNN political blogs), it is becoming increasingly obvious how great a divide has been created within the Democrat party. If the tone of all these comments reflect the true feelings of the supporters within the Democrat party, then I do not see how the Democrats are going to come together to beat the Republicans in November.
As a Canadian who would like to see a Democrat win in November, I'm afraid that the relentless negative campaigning by Mrs Clinton, reinforced by Mr. McCain, has created a divide too great to repair. The comments from various supporters in this CNN blog confirms this to be true.
Still would love to hear how it is impossible for Obama to win the general, yet Hilliary, who has LESS supporters, would be a shoe-in. Because she won states like cali and new york that would go blue if anyone was running as a democrat? Or is it because her supporters are more childish and selfish by threatening to vote republican in the fall while Obama (the more EDUCATED) supporters are smart enough to realize what another 4 years of republican rule could do to this country?
Pretty much Hilliary and her supporters are saying, we are immature and if she cant have it neither can he, so you better give her the nomination.
Thats some electability.............
It was said on the news H. Clinton has loan her campain over 11 million dollars if she can't run her campain how can she run the country.can she loan the us 11 trillion dollars????????????
So what? Is he important somehow?
Welcome aboard.......where's the "Fat Lady".....didn't someone pay her??
She wont quit! she wants to be in the white house soo bad.. since she knows her way around the white house, maybe she can be OBAMA's chef.
Not a super delegate, who cares?
Joan Mi, who do you think is running Obamas campaign, Hello!!!!!
John Edwards – please be a man, stand-up and be counted.
The voters of North Carolina have spoken – and why do you maintain this silence?
Politics is a gritty, tough act, and Hillary should be praised for her tenacity; however, the tide has indeed turned, the rules must be respected, and the math does not favor her candidacy.
Give Barack Obama his 'voice" and let's move forward as a united party to win the White House.
Every time I check this board, I see a new low. If you don't like Obama, fine, but to say he's "stealing" the nomination? Where does that come from?
Kathy in Ohio – really? Is it that important to be attached to a winner? You know, you don't get a prize for predicting who would win. Obama's views are infinitely closer to Clinton's than McCain's. Obviously you care more about other factors than where the candidates stand on the issues and what this country really needs. But go ahead and glom onto whatever the media says you should. Don't forget, Obama also doesn't wear a flag pin on his lapel, he's an elitist, he knows Rev. Wright, and he might be a Muslim.
After 8 years of greediness, self-indulgence, self-centeredness, and disregard for the milk of human kindness, how on earth can anyone be so near-sighted as to even think of voting for another Republican with the same basic political values as GWB? The future of our country is at stake not just the future of one candidate.
While I wouldn't claim that Obama will undoubtedly be as great a president, I want to remind you of another "inexperienced" man from Illinois who was little known to the nation at large, had held national office only two years, and had no management experience. What this man did have was ideals, convictions, and great intelligence. His greatness wasn't recognized until he was in office and tested. Because of him we still have our "greatest experiment" and, I submit, these times are no less challenging to our existence.
Come on guys, let's call for what it really is.................... Clinton is purposefully staying in just to cause problems so that Obama feels cornered into offering her his VP position. She is not putting 11 plus million dollars of her own money into this and get nothing out of it.
She's selfish, manipulative, dirty, and cunning. She is old politics!
Don't do it Obama!
You know what would be GREAT? Hillary to run as an Independent!
I would vote for her and Millions of others! Obama would get his butt kicked!
Hilary should quit, she ran an excellent campaing but she has to be honest w/ herself that it is time to let go.
The Democratic Party should unite. Everyone complains that they are tired of Bush, well if Obama is the nominee and the Hilary supporters whom vote for McCain defeat the whole purpose of making a change. This will give the American people another 4 yrs of Bush like years. Is that what you Hilary supporters want??? Being spiteful will sink the ship in America. If you so called Democrats want a change and mean it you would support Obama. This shouldn't be a black thing, some caucasians need to get over the black and white issues and realize that everyone was created equal and Obama is just as capable of running this country. If I recall a lot of democrats also helped to re-elect the moron we have now that calls himself the President of the USA. Did anyone ever question his capabilities? Everything that Bush has done has been to benefit the Bush family not the American people, McCain will do the same. If you want change act like you really mean it and support the best candidate which is Obama!
Obama '08
If you voted for Hillary in the primaries but will be voting for Mccain in the general election than it means one of two things. One, that you know nothing about the real issues that these candidates support. Or, two, you are a racist. Either way, you better hope that ignorance truly is bliss.
Go Obama!
I was watching MSNBC yesterday, "Morning Joe" or something like that; one of the moderators is a former NFL player (excuse my ignorance on NFL) but while the other moderators were discussing Obama and the campaign, he was just quiet, thoughtful. The only thing he kept asking was "Can Hillary still win?", and the others said "no, she cant, blah, blah". But he had that sad face still; maybe because he's a Hillary supporter, or maybe, just maybe because he knows that if there is someone who can steal this election is Hillary. NO one will say anything because, hey, as many had said; she has the "white vote". Its important to say that she also has the non-educated vote.
I tell you, I have a masters degree, and when someone with a PhD says something that a guy with a high school diploma is debating, I usually go with the most educated person.
Hillary just wants to pay for her debt; she has proven to me that I cannot vote for her as I planned because she doesnt see reality (like Bush), she does things her way, even when her advisers are telling her she should not (like Bush), she manipulates the rules to her advantage, which makes me wonder Is she going to manipulate the constitution to her advantage too? (like Bush)! Hillary is acting so much like Bush, acting funny, saying weird things, and still thinking people are stupid! No wonder non-educated people are the ones voting for her!
Call me a McCain Democrat!
How does he think he will win with a Cult Base?
I enjoyed reading about how McCain plans on protecting America from Evil!
At this point I honestly feel Obama and his camp are the biggest Evil Americans need protection from!
Hillary or McCain 08
Every endorsement is great! Obama WILL be the Democratic nominee. All Hillary supporters should shift his way for the General Election if they are "true" Hillary and/or democrat supporters. A vote for McCain would be a vote for everything your candidate is against! It's time out for all of this sillyness and it's time to focus on what matters. Be mature about this; it's our future we're voting on!
OBAMA 08! YES WE CAN!!!
Smart choice, thanks for your support.
Interesting comment above from H-Rod regarding Hillary alienating African American voters. Listen Obama deftly played the race card from the very beginnng with his stump speech where he talks about going to work in the black community when he graduated from law school. African American voters are supporting Obama because he is part African American. So be it.
Obama has not reached the magic number for obtaining the democratic nomination, Florida and Michigan voters have not been counted and there are more states yet to vote. Let everyone's vote count.
GO HILLARY 08
This is great news.
I was just watching CNN and Hillary stating that she will be staying in the race until the end and that she feels she is the better candidate. LOL.... Hello Hillary if you didn't think so, who would????
Kathy in Ohio....
Are you serious? you want a website to boycott Obama? How do you Boycott a person? He is not selling anything? You truly are one of the uneducated. The reason it hasn't been done, is because sore losers like you who will switch to McCain a man who is 180 degrees the opposite of Hillary Clinton are a joke. This isn't a popularity contest!!! Do you vote on policies? Really? because Obama and Clinton are almost identical and I would vote in a GE for either. I have my preference, but don't be a lunatic and flip sides.
Unless.....hmmmmm....is it because he's black?
Foolish Democrats!
If all the Clinton supporters refuse to vote for Obama if he wins and Obama supporters refuse to vote for Clinton if she manages an upset then neither one can win. It's easy to sit back and say the other candidate can't win when half the Democrats are so spiteful they would actually rather have more McBush than another Democrat. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Profound grasp of the obvious. Clinton is TOXIC, as is reflected in her rejection and losses in contests in 31 states.
Mike
Welcome to the winner's club, sir!
Obama 08 & 12
What is the matter with you people? It's not about Hillary, and it's not about Barack. It's about ideas. IDEAS!. If you like Hillary, how could you ever vote for McCain? She'd tell you to wake up! Same for Obama. They've both said the same thing. It's not about them! It's about us, and the hopes for our future. Do any of you really, really believe the Republicans care about you? Are you that naive? Hillary or Barack. Either of them would be just fine.
Obama should keep moving and will win the nomination and the general election because most americans know he is ready for change. More superdelates and well respected people are still coming his way shortly.
For people that doesn't and won't vote for him, I am sorry to tell you that your vote have no impact on his winning and he don't even need you.
We the real americans know who we want for the job and Obama is the perfect man for the job.
Hey Dems, on a serious not, let's come together and win the oval office, regardless of who gets this nomination, no McBush, if he wins, say hello to the draft and bye bye Roe vs wade!
Kathy in Ohio, as a Roman Catholic, it is clear to me that the Pope's message of HOPE did not resonate with you. As a Roman Catholic I am proud to support of Barak Obama as the next President of the United States of America. Kathy, how about spending some time visiting websites that push for the end of the attrocities in Darfur, or better yet, start a site on Mynmar and what we as Roman Catholic can do to lend a hand. I'm just saying...
Thanx fot the endorsement, I still dont understand why John and Elizabeth feel like their endorsement is gold.
Obvous no brainer move for Edwards, but if you're looking for leadership and experience, look not to Edwards, but to OBAMA/RICHARDSON.
Mike
it's a done deal, go Obama, we have beaten the clinton machine now it's you time mccain.
Seriously why are Clinton supporters so childish when it comes to this election? This primary is to field the best democratic canidate and after its all said and done, regardless of your personal opinion, the majority of the party will have voted for Obama. If you want to vote for McCain out of spite, then vote for him, and make your own situation and party worse. If you're an uneducated white factory worker do you want a canidate that wants to give tax breaks to the wealthy and ships your job overseas. Really think about that. I'm sick and tired of reading posts on here where people say that they will vote McCain when Obama is the nominee. You're foolish and prideful if that is your stance. Your canidate had a fair shot and lost but your party, with your support can and will win the general election. Obama wants to work for you, get past your own biasness and let him.
I am truely disappointed in all of the Female Hillary Supporters who are posting THESE NEGATIVE responses. I really think that the time has come to heal folks. The democratic Party has supported womens causes since day one as well as those of the worker and minorities in the USA. Please do not be such sore losers.....believe me............the Republican Party will bring nothing to the table for any of us...paticuliarly single women. Obama has the ability to find all of us and bring our needs to Congress for legislation. The division in this party has been based on many false hopes that Sen Clinton has imposed on you folks. Please ..the time has come to join as a family not sore losers or feminists. I to have a say NOT JUST YOU HILLARY GIRLS.
Sammy...you don't hear the Repulicans whining about McCain cuz they know they are toast! And I was a Republican but changed this year for OBAMA!
OBAMA 08!
I find it amusing that these people are just now backing Obama when the race is obviously going to him.
If Clinton's supporters still do not realize that the life of her campaign is at the mercy of Republicans and their large number of cross-over votes (just look at Ohio, Texas and Indiana), I do not know what they can understand anyway. If it is Clinton's choice to serve as Limbaugh's gun, I am speechless. Yet, her supporters still calim Obama cannt win. Do you really think that Clinton can win? Or are you dreaming?
I wish HRC supporters would get real. Obama is the reason for the excitement in this election. Clearly it isn't the Clintons who are getting all these new voters aligned and working in the Democratic Party. Regardless of the outcome, everyone should give Obama credit for really making this election about the people. The Republicans will have a hard time pulling a random issue out the blue this time (like gay marriage or religion). I am an Obama supporter, but more than anything, I would like to see an HONEST, DIGNIFIED person elected as President of the great country. I think Obama and McCain most represent those qualities. I have never affiliated myself with a Party because they both have good points and bad points. The reality is that we do not know what the next President will face. Regardless of the party affiliation, we need a genuine person that won't betray the trust of the American people. HRC has taken the low road several times during this campaign and hasn't shown the character of what this country needs right now. She would have been okay 10 years ago, but given the conditions in 2008, she's just not the one. I've always like McCain, but Obama has truly revolutionized the political process. He deserves more respect than he's getting. I think things will take a more positive turn once she's out the picture.
Who am I: Female, Black, 28, Oil-Company Employee (so what???), good income (80K+), single-mother, native of NC, College Educated....which party should I be in???? There are more and more people like me that don't relate to either Reps or Dems...what we do relate to is INTEGRITY and DIGNITY! And we're the ones that will get out there and convince others to make things happen.
Dear Belle,
You are hilarious–have you BEEN watching the race? I didn't think so.
Have a nice day.
Obama 08!
kathy in ohio May 8th, 2008 8:36 am ET
anyone know of any websites to boycott obama I am a big hillary supporter, female, white, catholic, blue colar, uneducated, clinging to my guns and religion. Anyone else upset about the pressure for hillary to leave the race. I am one of those that will vote for McCain only to cancel an Obama vote. I think we need a website so the democratic party realizes how serious we are.
This is exactly what we don't need. Your message says a lot about you and what you would like for this country to represent. You need to become educated and stop the drama....PLEASE!
I think it's right for any SUPER DELEGATE who is still hanging on the fence to follow his lead today. As for those who want to continue to eat and dine with the loser Hillary, the end is not far for them. The Edwards endorsment will be a big boost to the super delegate flow to the OBAMA 08 chances. Go OBAMA...
Do you people who say you will switch parties and vote for the Republican know how absolutely silly you sound? That kind of dogma SMACKS of either you getting caught up in the lies and hype that HRC has spouted out, that you've been considering a republican vote anyway, or that you hold blatantly racist attitudes that will not allow you to vote for a Black man under any circumstances. Yeah... I called you racists. Deal.
Remember... this is NOT a football game! It's okay for you to change sides when the stakes are as high as our country's well-being.
All you CLINTON SUPPORTERS who are saying you would rather vote for MCCAIN then for OBAMA you need to RE THINK your party status because you are obviously NOT a true DEM that is concerned about the issues we face.... you are just another Bush/McCain lover in the closet.
It's ok you can come out now...
OBAMA 08
Clinton, if you truly think that Mr. Bonior or any one person is responsible for John Edwards not getting the votes needed to be competitive, then I can see how you can support Senator Clinton, who can't get her facts straight either. But I do agree "Go Hillary"...back to the Senate!
Obama 08 Baby!
Rush claimed his 'operation chaos' was to divide the democrats but it really had two other goals. First, to mask the very real Republcan defections going on and second, to get Hillary as a the nominee. You see Rush has seen the writing on the wall and he knows any democratic will beat Mccain in Nov. He is, however, basically a racist so he would rather have his hated Hillary win in Nov than a black man. Also, he is hoping that enough American share his latent racism to vote for a 3rd Bush term rather than have a black man in the White House. Unfortunately for Rush, Bush has so messed things up that even the latent racism Rush thrives on won't be enough this time. Thank you GWB
Time for real democrats and truth loving Americans to unite and end the same old politics and vote for CHANGE!!
Thank you, very wise choice. Any andorsement is welcome!
Did anybody ever take into consideration the republican primary turnout? It was indeed a very meek showing. At least Obama was able to inspire young people and African Americans, who are usually disinterested in the voting process, to turn out in huge quantities to support this party, and more specifically Obama.The new voter generation doesn't even remember Vietnam and McCains heroism. These days are long gone. All they have left is Mr. Bush's legacy and Mr. McCains continuation of the same old same old (if he wants it or not)
Just look at the campaign Obama is running and his fund raising ability, which is an indication to how he will run the country: organized and profitable. Not like Mrs. Clinton: bankrupting her campaign and not paying off campaign debts. Very scary!!!
Think and analize before commenting in such a hateful manner. Mrs. Clinton tried her best, but it wasn't good enough.
The Democratic party and Mr. Obama will win big time in November!!!
By the way Mr. FEDUP I am actually not an idiot, but a 62 year old white woman, who is looking forward to get things done in Washington without all this squabbling and bullying.
Those of you who are threatening to vote for McCain if HRC was not the nominee, it is a pity that you are fooling yourselves by claiming that Obama is not capable. What make HRC more capable, is it the ability to throw kitchen sink, ability to manipulate ("gas tax"=pandering), inability to balance campaign budget, disregards/disrepect for rules and regulations she agreed upon before it no longer suited her purpose, or what? If you hate Obama because he is different, just be honest and say it and do not hide behind words. In that case there is nothing he can do or I can say that will change you. If you can live with your consience hating someone that never did anything to warrant it, Good Luck! We are humanbeings and God is alive and you will live to see it!
Does the small states count in this election. Everyone talks like the small states doesnot count. You cannot win the election with only 7 keys states. Do the math. We have to stop thinking small and see the whole picture. It's like the small states doenot even count.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT BUT IS HE A SUPER DELAGATE THEY ARE WHAT WE NEED MOST RIGHT NOW TO BRING THIS TO AND END .LOOK LIKE THE REAL SD RATHER SIT ON THE FENCE AND BE OBSERVERS OF THEIR PARTY'S DISTRUCTION BY THE CLINTION MACHINE!!!!!
Bonior is a superdelegate, so this is important. If the fat lady isn't singing yet, she will be soon, and she will be wearing a pantsuit.
Ok. Now get Edwards to join you in your endorsement. Then it will be something to talk about.
Hope Hlllary will soon understand that the game is over. Jack Cafferty is a graet man he speaks the obvious truth. All his preditions has been accurate. Keep it up Jack.
Still just 50.5% to 49.5%
I hope this helps those who think that African Americans are deciding this election. By the way, how does CNN know how people vote in terms of race. I NEVER saw a voting machine that asked my race, income or age. I guess you are using exit polls or complex calculations to guesstimate which different demographic groups are voting. You say upper income, educated whites are voting for Obama. Do the new voting machines ask all that information. Gee?! We need these machines to figure out which demographic group is using all the gas that OPEC claims is driving up the gas prices. If Americans can create voting equipment to document race, age, income, etc, I guess we can do the same with the gas pumps.
#1. How many times do we have to bring up this "If not Hillary/Obama, then McCain" issue? I cannot believe how CHILDISH people are being.
DO you people even care about what has happened under BUSH? If you say "yes", then voting for McCain will probably take our country further and further down the same road! Hmmmm – yes, let's continue this war in Iraq that most of us do not support! Yes – let's continue making richest people in this country richer while the rest of us suffer! Yes, let's not do ANYTHING about our dependecy to foreign oil and the environment. Yes, let's ignore all these IMPOVERISHED CHILDREN in our own country that need our help with education and healthcare!
THIS IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT DEMOCRATS BELIEVE NEEDS TO CHANGE!
For us to forget that, is just so sad!
Please people, either side can say they are going to hold this election hostage, but guess what? All we hurt is ourselves and our futures.
I commend David Bonior for making his choice after careful reflection. He obviously felt it was time for him to step forward.
I also commend John Edwards for his patience in making any endorsement of any candidate.
Those of us in the cheap seats yell into the contest as if we were sitting in an arena watching a sporting event. The decisions to be made often have more significance than the fickle bits of attention we often give.
To all interested in this presidential campaign: we must – all of us – look at the statistics, that is to say: what WE the VOTERS have chosen. So far, Barack Obama has the lead in the popular vote and in pledged delegates and in states won. It appears he will catch up in superdelegates perhaps as early as this weekend. There are two questions: 1) as a Democrat, will you follow the will of the VOTERS and get behind Obama?; 2) as an American, can you handle more of the same, ie McCain?
Unfortunately, for Clinton supporters (and I was one in late 2007), the end is near, if not now. We cannot let McCain in the White House. We DO NOT want him and his flash temper to be the one picking up the phone at 3 am. We do not want him to essentially carry out the FAILED policies of BUSH. We need to find a practical and humanitarian EXIT from a war we should NEVER have waged in Iraq. This country is not going in the right direction. We desperately need CHANGE but also UNITY – for all of us.
Has the Gimmick Candidate announced her daddy was the first white man born in the united states so that makes her worth of the nomination yet?
Hillary Clinton, The Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything ‘08
Sweet.
let us all unite and work together
let us have both candidates
please team up
Grrrrreat News !!!!!!!!!!
The Clintons are T-O-A-S-T !!!!!!!!!
Hillary claiming republican "support" in Indiana and winning that way and then refusing to quit, makes her "the Benedict Arnold" of the Dem Party !!!!
p.s. – - but don't worry HRC supporters, you can go to bed with your cuddly 'panda bear' – candidate, Hillary Rotten Clinton !!!!
Wow..
hello up here from Canada ..
Up until Febuary , I was hoping Hillary would win but after seeing the lies ( here 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 OBOMA GO!!!
Limbaugh is only calling obama 'weaker' in hopes the superdelegates flock to Clinton.
Hillary will endorse Obama too and campaign hard for him in places like Ohio, Fla. and NY. Richardson will be the VP so we can team up the black and latino vote. It will be amazing. Dream ticket? Obama will put forth a dream cabinet!
How can we be the moral standard for the world when we are unwilling to elect "any" American to power. That's why the world doesn't take us seriously. People who are willing to vote for McCain instead of whomever the democratic nominee is not a patriotic American. They are putting misguided emotions ahead of whats best for America and nobody can argue that any Dem will be better than the Republicans this time around.
Show your Patriotism for beyond you're emotions, vote for what's best for America.
it's Hillary giant ego that is making her believe that she can still win. She is not listening to anyone and stepping aside graciously. She didnt listen to the economists about the gas tax holiday, she is not listening to anyone now. Bottomline, she doesnt listen to anyone but herself. Someone like that can never be a good president. She is nothing but a political bully who wants everything her way. Our country needs a uniter such as Obama, not a sore loser like hillary. Even Hillary supporters must be getting annoyed of her now. Please see her for who she really is GO OBAMA. NEW YORK LOVES YOU, GOD BLESS YOU!!
ANY HILLARY SUPPORTERS THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT BARACK WHEN HE WINS THE NOMINATION REALLY WANT TO STAY IN THIS WAR, THEY REALLY WANT TO END UP PAYING PROBABLY LIKE $5 A GALLON GAS NEXT YEAR, THEY REALLY WANT TO BE IN A SENSELESS WAR FOR 100 YEARS, THEY REALLY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE NO STUDENT LOANS FOR COLLEGE, THEY REALLY WANT THE HOUSING MARKET TO CRASH AGAIN................THEY REALLY WANT ANOTHER BUSH! DEMOCRATS, REUNITE.....STOP ACTING PETTY AND CHILDISH..."OH I WON'T VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE MY NOMINEE DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION (POUTING)-CHILDREN GROW UP AND LET THE DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL
Is anyone else getting tired of inflammatory us-versus-them posts between Democrats? Anyone else think it's about time for us to get behind Obama and be about the real business of this country: getting the Republican machine out of power.
Grow up and get on board.
To: Kathy in Ohio:
I Am a white, male, catholic, blue collar( who can actually spell collar) and also clining to my guns and religion. And I cant get over how ignorant you are with your comment. I have supported the Clintons for years. But she is beat, and needs to support Obama now for the good of the party. McCain is the target now. Dont waste voting for him just to bust some balls in November.
I hear ya – but the bottom line is that I back Obama and I said I would vote for McCain if Billary won, but HONESTLY ... I will support the democratic party because I don't want another 4 years of Shrub's (AKA Bush) policies. Everyone would be upset if their candidate they support loses, but I believe we will all support our party in the end .... Listen to McCain's policies BEFORE you start screaming you would vote for him!!!
Another loser on the loser train. All aboard!
If Hilliary doesn't make it this time, we will be here to support her again in 2012. ~ McCain 2008, Hilliary 2012 ~
I am sick of all of you Hillary supporters threatining to vote for McCain if she doesn't get the nomination. The fact is that the very reasons and policies that makes you head over heels for her, MCCAIN IS COMPLETELY ON THE OPPOSITE SPECTRUM. A vote for McCain will truly be the downfall of America as we know it. News in the US, as well as the effects across the world, gets worse everday due to the failed policies of the current administration. MCCAIN'S IDEAS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION'S BUT WITH DIFFERENT PHRASING. Seriously, think about what you are saying. Obama wants to see a brighter tomorrow and that will not happen if John McCain get's elected. Just something to think about.
FEDUP May 8th, 2008 8:56 am ET
How sad for the democratic party to select a person who will lose in November. Obama is a black version of Dukakis. So, if we who are more central democrats, those who are more to the right added to those who are racist, the Independents who can't even decide which side of the fence to be on, then throw in the Republicians who will vote for McCain, how can Obama win? The Black vote will not carry Obama in the General Election. The Young voters will probable not even vote in the General. That leaves McCain as the next President of the US…This in a year that should have been ours for the taking. Hillary did not divide this party Obama did. Obamas' the urgency of now, is what caused this divide. He will throw anybody under the bus to be President! Anyone who doesn't believe this, is indeed an Idiot!
FEDUP- YOU"RE AN IDIOT IF YOU REALLY BELIEVE THESE WORDS SPOKEN ABOVE!!!!!!!
Get a CLUE!!
TO KATHY IN OHIO: if such a website exists for hillary supporters who don't like obama because he's telling the truth (you just don't want to admit it) then there should be one for those obama supporters who don't like clinton. It's just so funny to me a person can speak the truth about what's going on, and it describes who you are as a person, but u get offended by it. it's the truth about u, why would u be offended by it. we still live in a supposed united states of america and it still practices the same prejudices that civil rights activists were trying to destroy years ago. what's funny to me is that you'll vote republican if hillary isn't the nominee and she and barack share similar ideas. so for what reason would u vote for mccain when barack shares similar ideas to hillary? it's race! Kathy in Ohio, u should vote for mccain if he represents who you are as a person. according to ur party affiliation he doesn't represent u. he only represents u if hillary's not the candidate, and it'll be because he's white right? that's what i thought
chelsea clinton should also be put on loan to raise more money for the campaign since hillary dont want to back ..OBAMA IS FOR REAL ..
HIllary should drop out by force
Why are some saying that Obama "can't" beat McCain? This is very interesting. Any proof? Because if you are trying to plant a seed, I'm not sure that it is gowing to grow without water.
Hillary Clinton got on the Today show and started saying how her voters were the "hard working Americans."
What as if to say that people that have voted for either Obama or McCain are not hard working? Even when she's trying to be nice she's insulting.
I work 70 hours a week and you can bet my vote didn't go to her.
I am so confused here. Can someone please explain to me how Obama "STOLE" this primary election. There seems to be a lot of Clinton supporters making this statement.
To imply that he "stole" the election would me the people that voted for him had nothing to do with him leading in delegates, leading in states won, leading in popular vote, and soon to be leading in superdelegates, even as Clinton is "STEALING" Michigan and Florida.
She ran a terrible campaign, she was overconfident and underestimated her opponent, lied and joked about it, had her husband and campaign manager FOR something she supposedly was against, laughed at the American people when asked about the $800,000, to which she has a JOINT account with Bill Clinton, so essentially, that's her money too, and keeps attempting to change the rules to favor herself to win the primary.
Obama on the other hand, granted he had the Wright issues, that really wasn't an issue, was accused of being muslim, extremist, elitist, racist, and un-American. Has been attacked from the front by McCain, clipped from the left by Bill Clinton, smacked from the right by Chelsea Clinton, bombs dropped on him by the media, watching Hillary behind him with the knife in his back, and yet he is called weak. He has run a better campaign with more integrity, more focus, more support, and more backing. Did I miss something? What has Obama stolen?
Sure...
So did Rush Limbaugh.
So has the Rev. Wright.
So has the Nation of Islam....
So have the socialists of America...
So.....It's still a toss-up where he stands, what he can do...and more importantly what he won't do.
To all of the Clinton supporters who say that they will crossover to McCain if she does not win.
I have some news for you, being on the outside looking in, maybe I can be a little more objective. You are showing that you have not got the same respect for your Dem. Party as the Obama supporters. Obama supporters are way more willing to vote for Hillary if he does not win. Here again you are all acting the way Hillary is. No respect for your party!!!!!!!!
Hillary, you fought the good fight. You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them. Now its the time to fold them. Go out with the dignity and respect.
Kathy from Ohio I stand with you on boycotting Obama. Obam people be
careful. They dont call me bigben for nothing.
I find it funny how people who know little about politics and policy tend to hit message boards with ignorant comments. For those of you who wish to cast a vote in November against Barack Obama because of race, undying love for CLinton and an other reason must aske yourself just a few questions.
- Are you willing to Continue the war in Iraq beacuse regardles of your anger that is what you will be doing.
- Are you willing turn continue the Economic path we're on. In particular to a Gentleman who has stood before millions and said " I don't know much about the economy"
- Are you willing to tell Millions of American Woman they no longer have the rights of Abortion. You should learn more about the Supreme Court and how 3 or 4 judges will be replaced in the next 4 years thus overturning Roe vs. Wade. That should be a great debate.
Shall I go on. Learn about the policy differences between McCain and Obama before you make ignorant comments or place an ignorant vote.
Hillary supporters still don't get it!
In order to get the Presidency, you have to win your parties nomination!
If Hillary was not in LAST place, the media spotlight would be on her like it was earlier on in the race. That is why she CRIED and ask the media to be nice to her.
The Republicans are afraid and upset because they had been preparing for Hillary but out of nowhere this black dude name Obama is going to become their worst nightmare!
If Hillary supporters are looking for a website, try hillaryclintonDOTcom. I hear she needs money to pay off her debts from her poorly managed campaign.
If Hillary had been focussed on campaigning and winning every state instead of just focusing on the big states, she would not be complaining and crying right now.
If Hillary was not ready on day one of the primaries, then she was not ready to be President. As simple as that.
No more Bush-Clinton dynasty, nada.
Some campaign manager. We might not be in such a tight race right now if this Edwards stayed in the race a bit longer.
God bless you
Why is everyone so worried about alienating the black vote, but not middle aged women?
For all of you politicians who have spent the last 6 months Hillary bashing remember one thing. WE VOTE! Not just when we have a woman running, but in every election. And we are a very large voting block. After this election when many black and college students will lose interest in politics WE WILL STILL BE VOTING!!
So beware all of you who will be up for re-election. We vote and we remember!
Carol, I think what Rush has done is despicable, low down and dirty. However, we do have a right to protest in the streets as long as it is non-violent. So I don't think he belongs in jail for that. Instigating and perpetrating voter fraud – now that's a reason to put him in jail. But he is relevant to a large group of people. Make no mistake about it.
Hmmmm....another one – the super delegates need to endorse today – I mean....right now...Hillary pandering on the gas tax (which is not a good idea....and is really supported by nobody) – her lying on her experience....sniper fire...support and non-support for illegal aliens..and "distorting" of Obamas record (fyi – "distorting" is a nice way of saying "filthy liar")
Barack Obama won North Carolina. It would have been great if John and Elizabeth Edwards had joined Barack and Michelle on the stage when spoke. What is he waiting on? I thought he was going to endorse the one that won his state. YES WE CAN ALL BE UNITED. OBAMA 08 – 12
That's right Kathy in Ohio sell yourself short, seems that's the story of your life. NOTHING! Appears your low self esteem has you identify yourself worth by labels "female, white, catholic, blue colar, uneducated, clinging to my guns and religion." And I guess that "black guy - N_____!) just won't do.
The saddest mentality - I'd rather destroy hope than put aside my predjudice upbring - is clear here. HC is an excellent woman one we all should be proud of. But to rally up a "lynch mob" because you have issues is deep seeded hate. I'll pray for you.
I think its really funny that Hillary voters are so mad at Obama for running a good campain, because when he started he was the under dog( Stop Hating). Why is it that Hillary never complained before the race started that Michigan and Flordia should be seated?? She even said in October that those states violated rules and they would be stripped of their delegates. How in the hell is that Obama's fault??? All of sudden because she underestimated Obama and his supporters, she's claming their being desinfranchsied and its Un-American. Just ridiculous, he should just give her the delegates anyway even if he took his name off the ballot and even if he didn’t campagin in those states, so she can shut the hell up and stop crying, because after Oregon he will take back the popular vote anyway so it is over Hillary supporters. Its time you jump on the winning team. Mc Cain is the worse thing for this country!!!!
At this point in the process, Senator Clinton's continuing her campaign is at best a symbolic gesture. I would be in favor of her continuing except for the fact that her efforts strengthen John McCain and weaken Senator Obama who will be the Democratic nominee.
If Senator Clinton truly believes that our next president must be a Democrat, she should endorse Senator Obama at the earliest possible moment. To do otherwise - in a race she cannot now win - is petty, self-indulgent and disloyal to the principles she professes.
Middle aged white female voter........GO OBAMA!!!!!
And why do I care? Clinton is still going to win! 655,000 of us in NC did VOTE FOR HER!
I am appalled with the Hillary supporters saying, if she does not enter office, we are going to choose McCain because of the way the Obama supporters are, or how people are telling Clinton to step down because mathematically it is impossible for her to win. Don't get me wrong, you play the numbers right and she can win but the odds are almost impossible. I don't know what is wrong with Americans. They want to vote for one candidate and will not choose the other one based upon the people that are voting for them or what reporters and analyst say about their candidate of choice. How idiotic is that? How much of that does not make sense? You choose a candidate for who you believe is going to serve this country the way it was suppose to. If you decided to not vote for someone based upon their supporters, you are just being a sore loser. It is time Americans started wising up and really choosing candidates based on what they believe rather than what or who or what someone says about the person they want. This is the reason why the country the way it is. We chose Bush for a second term over Kerry because we were feared of what Kerry might do so we decided to choose the one we knew. Look where it got us. Fellow Americans. do not make the same mistake for a third time...
Many of the bloggers failed to realize that Hillary and Bill Clinton are who they are today because of the Democratic party as well as the voters. The voters do not owe them or anyone a thing. People are blaming Obama for dividing the Democratic party because he chose to run for President. Hillary Clinton should have to work for the nomination just like the others.
No person should be given anything just because of who they are and how many people recognize their name. The ultimate loyalty for this election should be to your country. You owe your country that much.
Take it to the convention. Jenny from Kansas "we all are real americans" and that is why "we all have a choice" to choose whom we want as president...which is not necessarily Senator Obama...it is called "democracy" it doesn't means "democratic party".
I really do enjoy the fussy math theories put out by the Clinton backers. It reminds me of some Enron accounting. Obama has the popular vote, he has the pledged delegates. The party has brought out more people to vote then ever before. Get behind the winner and put them in the white house. Stop the small minded thinking, it helps no one
Former Michigan Congressman Bonier served in Congress for 26 years. He should be able to help Obama by campaigning for him in Michigan. However, there may be a backlash vote if Democrats do not allow Michigan's votes and delegates to be counted in this primary campaign. Michigan which went to John Kerry in 2004 might not be a sure thing in 2008.
Kathy in Ohio
Kathy you need to look at your house, check book, family and your current way of life period. Please think how much longer will your current situation be stabile. Because if McCain keeps the current policies in place this country will be absolutely destroyed. Our dollar is at an all time low we are in a recession gas prices are through the roof, people are losing homes which will only devalue everyone else’s homes resulting in major hard times for 70% of Americans. If you want to be responsible for all of the above then vote for McCain.
Hope you come to your senses and push the D botton in Nov!
Belle, I hope Hillary does just that!! Run as an Independant Hillary....she would kick their behinds.
GO HILLARY!!!
Clinton lost, it is over. A vote for her is a vote for McCain. We dont need you lousy Clinton supporters anyway.
Jan,
How would Obama be "stealing" the nomination if he has won more votes, more delegates and more states. Did you get that HE has WON.
Woohoo!! And so the trickle continues. Hopefully Edwards himself will change his mind and decide to publicly endorse Obama. All aboard the Obama Express.....next stop – 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!!!
to carmen in texas,go ahead and vote for the monkey you love, you seem to be not intelligent
Hillary needs to DROP OUT now! Her campaign is broke, she doesn't have the numbers, and her support is dwindling more and more each day. The bulk of her support is uneducated, blue-collar, gun carrying, redneck folks, but they don't have the money to back her.
Sen. Obama is the Democratic nominee. That is settled. Although she continues her quest, Sen. Clinton cannot have the nomination. I read a post below that someone feels Sen. Obama is "stealing" the nomination ... what? ... "stealing" the nomination, huh? With more delegates, more states, more popular vote ... I don't understand how Sen. Obama is stealing the nomination. He's earned it. That kind of divisive talk is exactly what has landed Sen. Clinton on the boat she's in now. What many of her supporters don't seem to understand is that Obama has tapped into a desire for this country to change. Sen. Clinton is out of the picture on this issue. All she brings is more of the same political lines that disturb much of the country and the Democratic Party. I'd be supporting Sen. Clinton if she represented change in Washington and politics – the simple fact is that she doesn't, and her campaign consistently proves this. Her campaign wasn't right for the mood of the Democratic Party, and again ... the fact that Obama has won ... do you hear me? ... WON ... not stolen ... WON more delegates, more states, and more votes means he's earned the nomination. That's how elections work people. If Sen. Clinton had done the same she'd be the nominee. But she didn't, so she won't. It's as simple as that. If you want to play by different rules, go join the Republican Party.
Come on "Delegates", get off your pander to your district rear-ends, and give your endorsements. It is time to unite.
That Heath Shuler sure pandered to his district. "I will give the winner of my district, my endorsement".
I am very happy that OBAMA got another endorsement, I am Democrat, if by any chance Clinton wins, I'll still vote as Democrat, specially because I am tired of the 8 years of agony, Democrats lets be more open mind, love your country and vote fotr what is best for all of us. I am very much for Obama, because as you can see his followers show more open mind and love for their country. God Bless
America.
Bring it on bigben. or should it be pigpen?
But as far as Hillary, is she inhaling something Bill didn't? She should under go a drug screen test. Anyone that dimented at this point has serious issues and for sure should be in politics.
Seriously, this is a joke. I just dont understand how you can see their policies being almost identical and say that you would vote McCain. I can see this argument isnt going anywhere and that you crazy Hillary people will do crazy things. I am a true Obama supporter but WOULD VOTE HILLARY IN A SECOND because I am that scared for the future of America. Think about what you are doing.
Well if the Dems don't win in Nov. because the Hillary supports won't vote for a democrate out of spite I guess it will be a big loss for all the United States and NO ONE will vote for Hillary if she tries to run in 2012. If she and her supports push the election for McCain this time why would any of the democrates voting for Obama this time give her a vote next time.
Another get for the Obama camp. Time to give up, Hillary.
Personally, I cannot believe the folks in the Obama camp are treating Clinton with such kid gloves when it comes to Florida and Michigan. They could end that argument with one swing of the bat. All they would have to say is, why are you so concerned about disenfranchising Michigan and Florida, when you are, in essence, asking the superdelegates to disenfranchise the 25 or so states that voted for Barrack Obama. And why did you all of the sudden become concerned about disenfranchising the folks in Michigan and Florida in late February, rather than early January.
End of argument. End of story.
What a joke..."bigben"
The 0 in '08 is for Obama.
BELLA you are a very misguided person. And point of fact. the two candidates are on the same page in almost every way save for health care. So there is racism at play here, to deny it is incredibly stupid. On the other side some won't vote for Hillary because she's a women, that to is incredibly stupid.
Why boycott Obama? Want some of John McCocaine? more of president Bush?
As I do understand from the inner circles, there was a rift in the Edwards family that delayed the endorsements. Edwards wants to endorse Obama, lakini his wife likes Clinton's Healthcare proposal better. Well, after Tuesday I don't think Clinton's proposal should matter much and it's time he came out and endorsed the man. Now that his campaign manager has declared, I bet he will follow suit. It will be a boost in the 'blue collar' sector.
Some Clinton Supporters seem to me me to wishy washy Democrates at best. Whinning, threatening to vote McCain because she lost is insane. If you are an independent who voted Clinton or a Republican who went for Clinton then your decsion is respectable. If you are hurt because she lost , get over it! I supported Clinton, The policy differences between Obama and Clinton are meager at best, that's why its easy for me to support the Democratic Nominee. If you voting against a black man or upset because a woman lost , stay your whinny butts at home your vote does nothing to help this country. I personally would like to see them both on the Dems ticket in the fall. Republicans are scared as hell, they have no legs to stand on, and MCcain is just plain pitiful.
Obama/Clinton 08, McCain never stood a chance!
Keep em coming! The tsunami is coming. Someone tell HillBill.
Good news for dems: Hill proves Republican campaign won't work!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!
I am a white, catholic, edcuated woman supporting Obama, why oh why would any democrat even consider supporting the old man . . . eight years of GWB has ruined our country. You should be ashamed as an American and a democrat to even consider voting for a a man that knows nothing about the economy (which in case you hadn't noticed is not doing so well) and that has said a 100 years in Iraq is acceptable and has not broken ties with a man that all but ruined him in 2000 (GWB). You're seriously stupid and uneducated if you would even consider voting for McCain.
NO ONE IS SCARE OF "BIG" BEN. SIT DOWN!
There is a way to boycott – it's called not voting.
Obama has brought in more young, republicans and independents voters. So, those Hillary supporters yelling they won't vote for Obama; go change your party to republicans. You can not keep threatening the rest of the real Democratic Party.
DEAR ALL.

I am sort of feeling sorry for Hillary Clinton supporters...............NOT!!!!!
Check out my site. It is called IfNoObamaThenMcCain
dotcom
Its interesting to see all these sore losers from Clinton campaign saying they would vote for McCain...well i guess I can't blame...although I'm an independent I would never trust that lady...NEVER....
Thank God two great men will compete for the presidency come November as for those sore losers...the door is right ohh and take and drag Billary with you...
See you must understand Hillary has the biggest endorsement of them all. The only true democratic winner. Bill Clinton himself.
Say what you want but he was the only 2 time Prez in a whole lot of years.
Terry, you must be a mindreader. Bill said, "Yeah, I smoked, but I didn't inhale". That means he blew the smoke in Hillary's face.
why does CNN still only back Hillary its time to bring the party together for the sake of the USA please stop all your selfishness Hillary get behind the candidate obama and lets get together and wins this thing you can try again Hillary in four years please be a grownup get out with dignity and help the party
You know I sit here and read some of you guys blogs and I must say this is exactly why this country is in the condition it is in. So full of hate and resentment. So divided over the most ingnorant of issues. You call yourselfs Democrats. What kind of Deomocrat would vote for a Republican just becuase their guy or girl didn't win. You are not a true Democrat your a groupy. Lets pick John McCain and have another term of lost jobs and war. That will certainly be good for a kids. I feel sorry for the next generation. I just hope that they will be better adults then some of you are.
Edwards will soon follow...
DEMOCRATES UNITED FOR OBAMA 08
You know it's pretty funny that anyone who has worked with or been connected to the Clintons are turning to Barack Obama.
Kathy, please vote for McCain, he can take you deeper into the tank
maybe we should leave George W in office for another 4 years.
Poor people do not stand a chance with Hillary or McClain but so
many people have forgotten how the Clintons stole money in the
Whitewater case and you want that person as your president.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE ALL THIS "HATE" THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS HAVE IN THEIR HEARTS.
DID EVERYONE SEE THOSE EXIT POLLS? – OBAMA SUPPORTERS % WAS HIGHER- THAT THEY WILL VOTE FOR CLINTON IF SHE WAS THE ONE– THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PARTY.
THIS IS SO "SAD"
SO, IF YOU LOSE YOUR HOUSE, LOSE YOUR JOB, LOSE LOVE ONES IN THE WAR – DO NOT FILL THE BLOGS WITH YOUR COMPLAINTS BECAUSE YOU RATHER PICK BUSH/MCCAIN, BECAUSE OF YOUR HATE-ALL THIS HATE SINCE LIKE THE RACE IS MORE GOOD vs EVIL– ALL THIS HATE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE NATION.
SAD
OBAMA - CHANGE WE WANT.
EDWARDS for OBAMA ......... WIFE for CLINTON

All of the haters who are not real Americans, let alone real democrats
should just get out of the party. Its one thing to be for your candidate
Hillary, but to vote for McCain is preposterous. You should have voted
republican in the first place. Some of the evil things that you say makes
you more un-american and unpatriotic, I don't care how many flags you wave.
REAL DEMOCRATS UNITE!
screw the others.
YES WE CAN.
All these people that will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win should be ashamed of themselves. To vote for a person that would keep this country on the the same path it's currently on is not a smart decision. Granted people have a right to choose who they vote for, but to vote for a Republican and more of the same over a Democrat that wants to change this country for the better is something I don't comprehend.
Democrats '08
Any of you guys saying that you will vote for the Republican nominee if your candidate doesn't get the nomination are only hurting yourself. Why don't you think of the greater good. You are going to regret your vote when the economy goes further down the toilet, and more troops die in Iraq. All because of your selfish pride. Suck it up people. Just bite the bullet and vote for whoever is the nominee.
For all those Democrats that feel the need to vote for McCain if Hillary wins the nomination. GO RIGHT AHEAD!!!! Do you think you're hurting Obama by doing this? Come on, people. If those Democrats want 4 more years of Bush's policy, go ahead and vote for McCain. If Obama lose, he'll go back to the senate and he'll be alright. However, will you be ok with a failing economy, a continue war in Iraq, health care unresolve, conservative justices, etc... Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain are only hurting themselves. Obama is trying to bring a change in American politics.
Clinton supporters Listen up, I would rather get a tooth pulled without anesthesia than vote for Hillary Clinton or McClain
Fact is, I'm terrrified of Dentists.
Ok you Obama haters boycot do whatever you must there is no
stopping the Obama Train. Get onboard or get the h_ _l out the
way. You speak with folk tongue get a life. Gas and food cost you
and I the same. Go and vote for Mccain and get four more years of
the same Bush wacking. Your check don't go far as it is.
You'll be better off with Obama all you have to do is close the door
to all the ugly you carry inside.
Once again, some Hillary's supporters are proving how ignorant they are. Go for it, go vote Mccain because your little disapointment and anger over your loss is more important than to get your country back on track and out of Iraq. What a bunch of idiots.
There are 2 alternatives for Hillary to attain her White House dream:
1. Drop out of the race, and run as an Independent, A 'Spoiler' like Ralph Nader.
2. Join her Republican friend McCain on the VP Ticket, since Obama will never offer her such.
Best wishes to Obama!
Awesome!!! Obama 08, come on superdelegates it's time to end this, and focus on McCain...
OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, Thank You Mr. Bonior. Nice to have your support. It's great to see another stand for Integrity.
OBAMA CAN WIN WITHOUT EDWARD. HE SHOULD ENDORSE HIM RIGHT NOW OR HIS VOTE WON'T MATTER LATER ON. AND KNOW ONE WILL CARE ANYMORE.
i support Obama but if he was not to win I would happily support Mrs. Clinton. We need change and McCain is not the one to do it! Unity people, unity people!
The only person to STEAL a Nomination (not the election) would be the person who doesn't hav ethe most deleagte from the PEOPLE and not the POLITICIANS. Also, what ever happened to playing by the rules? Didn't the DNC have rules? Why should some candidates comply and others not and them want to trhrow out the rules?
And as others have pointed out, if you are truly democrat, you will vote for the parties candidate.
By voting Mc Cain, your are creating your own "Operation Kaos" and handing the White House and 4 more years of war and economic mess that started when "W" stole the election in 2000.
How can one claim to have a better chance of winning the general election when she can't even when her own party's nomination. Get real. If you were such a great candidate that everyone wanted to vote for you would have won more states, more delegates, and more of the popular vote. If you can't even get enough backing from your own base what kind of chance do you have against McCain.
If Clinton was smart she would be Obamas running mate an they can make history as the first African American President an woman vice president that would unite the party an also ensure that Clinton supporters vote for Obama plus they'll make a good team. If she keeps being stubborn then Obama will chose John Edwards as his running mate as you can see Edwards people are making a push for vice president, an to all you'll democrats switching out on Obama just because Clintons not the nominee I think it's hatred, the African American turnout will be bigger than ever for an African American man I'm a black man thats never voted, I just registered last week Im excited an think it's my duty to honor my ancestors [MARTIN LUTHER KING JR]young people are for Obama it's going to override all traitors where all excited in the African American community I've pushed all my friends who are eligible to vote but havnt to register you will see in November it's inevitable!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS OBAMA AN AMERICA
Since Hillary Clinton and supporters keep making this argument that she won the states that matter, how about we let her be president of those states and Obama can take the other states that are TWICE as many as hers.
Last time I checked, it was United States of America, not United States That Matter.
Reading these negative comments from the Clintonite bloggers saying they won't vote for Obama and they will vote for Mccain tells me we have a serious problem. If you would rather vote for 4 more years of the same policies, then America is truly finished.
I think regardless of party–citizens must vote their own conscience once in the voting booth.
I personally think there should be a minimum skills test for President. If the potential doesn't have any military service or executive supervisory experience...they should immediately be disqualified.
Poor Hillary has gone from a historical figure to a hysterical figure. Its like she is just wondering around the country begging for money saying “Its not over yet, hey, hey, its not over yet. Give me money, give me money”. And the bad thing is nobody will tell her.
Welcome Aboard!!!
OBAMA 08!!!
Good. What about the other 4 SuperDelegates Obama gained yesterday.
John Edwards will most likely not endorse unless the Clinton Campaign goes negative enough to cause deep worry with Super Delegates since she can't really win now (by that point you would see Supers flock to Obama). The Party is trying to let her off easy and settle her supporters down by allowing her to bow out gracefully when she feels like it. Only one Superdelelgate has asked her to drop out and that was McGovern (Clinton endorser up until yesterday and long time friend).
You probably won't see Obama, his surrogates (whom he never seems to use but should now), or his campaign say she needs to drop out. It only causes more tensions and the fact is, they don't need to say it. They will be arguing their common sense case to Supers which goes farther than Clinton's very risky and somewhat irrational arguements.
I can understand an Obama supporter vowing to never vote for Clinton or a Clinton supporter vowing never to support Obama. The most revealing thing, however, are the democrats who say they will vote for John McCain instead of the opposing democratic candidate. I hold steadfast to my conclusion that a large portion of the electorate are immature in the political sense and over emotional. There is not much difference in policy between Hillary and Obama and both of those candidates say how disasterous a McCain presidency will be to the economic situation of the country. But because the immature nature of the populous to get caught in the "CULT OF PERSOMALITY" windfall (repubs also) we have an overly emotional childlike reaction that could result in people voting against what they believe is good for the country or even their own families. I'm sorry but that seems to be the case from where I stand.

Mwalimu...wacha kubongesha wazungu Swah!....hehe....
I know several Clinton supporters that are smart enough to realize we as Democrats need to come together for the general election. Support who you want now but realize that this race is not just about 1 person. This race is about Americans. I want Obama to win but I'm smart enough to know that I want a Democrat in the Oval office no matter Clinton or Obama.
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!
This is great news. Edwards definitely aligns himself more with Obama than Hillary. and most of his supporters and staff now support Obama. We now have our nominee and it is time for all good Democrats who care about this country to come together and unite behind Barack Obama. YES WE CAN!
To all those HIllary supporters who say they won't vot for Obama--
Think long and hard, especially women voters who care about the right to choose.
John McCain announced this week that he will appoint conservative judges to the Supreme Court if elected president.
It's not difficult to read between the lines: DO YOU WANT TO SEE ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED? Then go ahead and vote for McCain.
It is interesting to hear the Clinton supporters. Look Clinton lost me on the whole crying thing when she pulled that mess I knew then it was a wrap. When women lose they produce tears but it didn't work this is the country we are talking about not the choice of wall paper. It is time to unite bring it together for the big win. The Clintons, The Bushes are the entire reason why this country is in the mess its in now. The baby boomers have had their time at bat and they struck out its our time now. The Clintons should realize this and leave the stage. Her campain has been a mirror of the war scape of Iraq. If done properly she could have have won but continuos blunders ran it into the ground. Those people who would vote for Mc Cain a person who is a bush clone in idealogy shame on you. You would throw the country away for Hillary, just because she lost ,you would hand the country back into the hands of mad men. If you feel that strongly about the Clintons maybe you shouldn't vote at all because you maybe alittle mentally unstable.
To Kathy in Ohio:
I think you need to grow up, you sound like a high schooler trying to get even with somebody.
Obama isn't the one putting pressure on Clinton to leave the race. Her friends and co-workers are. She is broke, the money is no longer coming in, the numbers aren't there, give the rest of us a break.
Remember this is a democratic contest in which invidividuals vote for whom they want. Obama has no control over that anymore than Clinton does. In case you have forgotten we live in a society where we are given a free choice, just because someone doesn't agree with yours is no reason to be childish.
Sounds to me like you have some serious issues with adulthood.
This coming from a 55 year old, white, blue collar but well educated female who is bitter and wants a change and my religiion/faith is what keeps me going.
AMERICA LET'S BE SMART....the democrats must stay united!
If you vote republican, you are voting for a 3rd BUSH TERM! Our country cannot afford this! Please but your hard-feelings aside and let's do the right thing! GET A DEMOCRAT IN THE OVAL OFFICE!
Kathy in Ohio,
Did you leave out one description of yourself? If you believe in women rights for choice and a better tomorrow for your grandchildren to have a chance to become anything other than how you described yourself you really do not wan to vote for Senator McCain.
If America politics is about following the winning team in the race, then the world is fortunate enough not to learn things from America.
All these super-delegates shall act on their own bravery and senses, not waiting to lean on team who is about to win.
Anyway, if they think like that, they are going to split the party. After all, their decisions may perceive as Clinton team does not belong to Democrat.
Again, I emphasise that you will see the genuine leader when he/she is down and still hopeful and re-focus to win or solve something. You all have seen other parts of her life for many years. What else has Obama got to prove to this world? Your eyes must see beyond America when you pick the President!
When the nation is lack of vision, it will perish in the end.
That may say, you will eventually fight with Republican again for the next term.
I certainly would have voted for Hillary tho Im not a fan. Those that vote Mccain to "cancel an Obama vote" (kathy in ohio) are either sore losers, racists, or both.
Kathy in Ohio,
You are obviously less concerned about this country and more concerned about who wins. Do you understand that McCain will continue Bush policies (tax cuts for the rich, no healthcare, etc...). Give me a break! Hilary had her chance and her ego got in the way......... she did not plan on Obama; therefore she ran a poor campaign. A vote for McSame is a vote for 4 more years for BUSH!
TO all Hilary supporters who will not vote for Obama.
Please vote for McSame. Obama's extraordinary performance with young voters, independents and Republicans will propel him to the White House.
OBAMA 08
I have a question for those Hillary supporters who are saying they will vote for McCain, if Obama is the nominee.
Shouldn’t you be voting on the bases of their proposed polices and their vision for the country?
If you compare the policies and visions of Hillary to Obama, everyone has agreed they are very similar but very different from that of McCain.
So I don’t understand why you would want McCain to win the general election. If you believed in Hillary’s vision then wouldn’t Obama be the logical choice for you?
Please make me understand, why you would want to vote for McCane.
I do not know why there has been so much division in the democratic party. Clinton supporter are not doing anything good but division.. Regardless who wins the nominee. Obama or Hilary. I believe democrat should union and see a democrat president get to the white house. Not division..United the party stand, divided it fall.. So this message goes out to democrats supporters(Obama or Hilary) Unity is the key. Not divison... Think twice before its too late, because if another republican get there. They did not work for it but the division of democrat worked for them.
I am for Hillary but it seem that she is a long way from the nomination.it is going to sting little bit but when all dusts settle down i might vote for Obama.Either Obama or stay home but never republican.
As a white male 53 I'm ready for change. It would seem many here think Hillary is the better candidate because she has more experience. Well her experience put us in the war, where she should have stood up as Joe Wilson attempted to steer a different course. She seems to stick with the loudest voice and not what is right.
She brags of a medical plan as if we have one. Well we don’t and her years as first lady and Senator ship has not changed the fact that America still has no medical health plan to date. She has managed her campaign to bankruptcy much like our nation.
I like Obama because he is an outsider not old Washington. He is for change. I want my two sons out of this mad mans war. These old party elites are all getting rich from our patriots. These patriots can not leave the military and come home to lousy medical. If Obama could pull everyone out tomorrow it could not be soon enough.
Those who advocate WMD, keep the battle there want your tax dollar. Get real people there is a big ocean, they have no military. Let the local countries resolve the problem. Cut and run is a flag waivers recourse to scare or humiliate because you don’t see there sons or daughters there. I want change. Obama has about as much experience as John F Kennedy did in office lets hope he doesn’t suffer the same end.
CONFRONTATION OF PERSONAL FEELINGS
I don't get it !!!
Democrats have a wondefull opurtuniti to choose between two of the best persons for president, their land has to offer. The GOP doesn't give their members that choise, cause they have only McCain.
And what are you making of it?
A "kindergarten" war.
UUUAAAA, if not Clinton, then McCain !
UUUAAAA, if not Obama, then McCain !
Is every democrat gone mad?
Why would you vote for someone who doesn't stand for your values?
Why would you vote for someone who wonn't change the politics of the past years.
You can only do so if you wat to vote for Bush. And in that case you've learnd nothing from the last years.
Don't look at your candidate's gender or colour, look at their VISION.
Look at your own vision for your country and your vote will be the right one.
You know what, go on and vote for McCain you "BITTER" Hillary supporters. Why? Obama will receive something that you will not receive under McCain, a tax cut because he's rich and economic relief. I don't understand why white voters refuse to vote their interests.
I find it quite interesting that the people who support Senator Clinton will support Senator McCain if Clinton was not the Democratic nominee. Frankly, I also thought that both of them were quite the same (albeit from different policial party). They are both career politicians and both extremely determined to make their life-long dream of becoming the President of the United States. Senator Obama is the only person who came from ordinary background. He knows the concern of the ordinary folks. He wants to become president so that he can make a difference. We finally have someone who's not a career politician and who finally, FINALLY will put American people first! It won't be politics as usual in Washington D.C. When you vote in November, vote with a clear head, not emotion.
Supporters should know that this is politics and it should be taking too personal.Whoever that becomes the nominee should be voted for,the idea of switching party to throw your votes to John Mccain doesnt sound logical.This means that you dont think before you take actions or say things.This is just a family battle and shouldnt be taking out of contest.Everyone understands how commited and movitated supporters are to their candidates,but if you want the best for the party then such divisive talks which gives the republican party an edge shouldnt be heard.
Its time for america to unite. Racism will no longer divide this country. I am 100 % sure if OBAMA was a white man he would have gotten the support over Hillary. Those of you who are saying that you will vote for Mccain if Obama win are just plain and simple racist. This is a great
oppurtunity to heal this country from past wounds. The people in america has decided that Obama is thier candidate.
Go Obama...let's end this thing. Hillary supporters we salute your effort, now we welcome you to support the candidate who the majority has chosen to be the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama...
Thank you – Are you a "superdelegate"?
Also thank you to the beautiful people of N.C
Now strongly for Obama
I was very SAD that our votes would not count in FLORIDA. If I had voted for Hillary, I would have been ashamed and kicking myself ROYALLY! Thank God I did not! TO THINK – of the LIES and MANIPULATIONS OF TRUTH, the KITCHEN SINKS AND PANDERING, the ATTACKS and SHOTS UNDER THE BELTS, to say nothing of the closed meetings in which I am sure a good bit of ARM TWISTING of SUPERDELEGATES has gone on. Perhaps even with 3 am calls. .....yikes! This is definitely the biggest mistake I could have made. I must FORGIVE myself and HILLARY, maybe when she STOPS. .... Right, SHE IS STILL AT IT. Thank you reader for your "ear". NOW, LET's PRAY for the rest that seem to be as misled and DANGEROUS as I was! ONE SUGGESTION: Hillary could go run for GOVERNOR of NEW YORK, heard that there is need there and Bill would be in FAMILIAR COMPANY.
I agree with the 'California Voter.' Let every vote count! However, if you're going to say that Obama played the race card by talking about how he worked on the south side of Chicago as a community organizer, you can't ignore the fact that Hillary has played the gender card time and again. Also, anybody who voted for Hillary and says they would rather vote for McCain than Obama in the general election is not a Democrat. Period. I support Obama 100% but would support Hillary if she was the nominee despite her divide and conquer tactics. The stakes are too high.
I understand that each of us feel strongly for our canidate Obama or Hillary. All these comments going around back and forth negative towards whoever your choice is not is exactly what the Republicans want us to do to ensure thier candidate wins do you all even realize that. They want those for Obama to be mad if Hillary wins or those for Hillary to be mad if Obama wins and NOT vote for the other person. Some of you are saying if your choice does not win you will vote for John McCain do you realize what you are saying that is totally crazy or not vote at all well not voting at all is A VOTE for John McCain which includes, more mothers and fathers and families losing their loved ones, the same poor, uneducated, blue collar workers, female voters still not being heard, or helped. It is time for all Americans to stand for something for once or you will fall for anything. Regardless of who the nominee is we should all be big enough to still VOTE because our vote is the only way we will change what is going on in America. Also, the media is not helping any of this, you speak about us being divided well I guess so when one minute you bad mouth or report negative stuff on Obama and the next minute it is Hillary how is that helping the problems wrong with this country all it does is confuse more people who don't understand the importance of thier vote.
The NERVE of Hillary, inferring that people that have voted for either Obama or McCain are not hard working?
She's been SPINNING so long, I think shes DIZZY.
Your people should keep your difference apart and vote for who ever is the nominee. For we don't want to get another George W. Bush for three years. It seems like Obama will be the nominee, that is okay, Clinton herself have acknowledge that he is a fine man.
For all of us Clinton supporters obama is and alternative not George Bush II.
To all you strong "Democrats" who will only support Hillary Clinton, or only Barack Obama, shame on you! Evidently you don't care what happens to this country, if you are willing to vote for John McCain,or not vote at all. We need Democrats in the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. I wanted Hillary Clinton to be my candidate, but she isn't. That certainly doesn't mean I won't vote for her, if she gets the nomination. I don't want another eight years of George Bush type government, and if you care about anyone but yourself you shouldn't either. We need to come together in support of whomever the Democratic candidate is.
Seems to me Mr. Obama was right. "You people" in rurual America really do hate people not like you. Funny thing is, Hillary Clinton is no more like you than Obama other than she's white. I guess a white woman beats a black man any day of the week. At least that's what we Republican's believe. Come on over and vote with us. There's plenty of room. We'll continue the war in Iraq as we rightly should and if Iran keeps popping off at the mouth they'll get it next! We take them out one by one if we've got to.
Go America!
The bottom line is, this campaign running long has NOT hurt the democratic party in November.
longer campaign = more newly registered voters = more votes in November
YES!
This is a BIG FISH!
Go Obama!
Hillary – hang in there! We know this race is over – but you should continue on and attack Mc Cain and get as many voters as you can!
Come on Hillary and Obama supporters – it's time to start healing!
Sure Hillary supporters lover her and wanted her to win and Obama supporters wants him to win!
But don't forget!!! We are in the same party and on the same team and it's time for Obama to get some rest and Hillary to heal!
Our party has to start pulling together and once we see Obama and Hillary on the same stage next month we will march forward!
Obama supporters – now is the time to stop bashing Hillary and her supporters – if they want to vote for Mc Cain – so be it but as Hillary continues let's start rooting for her because believe it or not – we are going to need the Clintons and their supporters and donors!
Let's stop bashing each other and turn our attention to Mc Cain and his party!
It's time to stop all the hater-ation and get behind our inevitable nominee (Barak O'bama). Don't let fear and hatred blind you from the gift that God has sent us to help America once again be revered and not feared by the rest of the World.
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but many of our so called allies no longer respect or support us; hell, we can't even get them to commit to anything anymore. Every Nation on this earth is waiting to see who we put into office before re-engaging. If we miss, they stayed pissed.
Simply put, "we need Barak Obama!"
To respond to some of the comments by clinton's supporters who chose to vote for mccain,you are not hurting obama,infact with or without your vote,he has become famous and worth millions as of now,your ignorant to flush your vote to another bush's policy will only hurt our great nation thats already hurting,put more of our men and women in iraq,and you are not far away from reaping the consequences of your hate vote.
I find it sad so many Clinton supporters will hold her losing the nomination against their own party. They rather vote against their own beliefs out of frustration and anger. They rather vote against the things that Hillary stands for, than vote for Obama who does as well. I bet your children would be proud.
Thank, we are all Obama team, Go Obama.
There is nothing wrong with saving yourself if you try and help people off a sinking ship and they refuse to go. John Edwards is scared to go against the wife, so we obviously know who would have ran our country if he was elected President.
It's time for us Democrats to put aside our differences and rally behind our nominee, I would support Hillary if the tides were turned and she was leading.
wow all you clinton supporters who are going to vote for McBush in the fall are shooting yourselves in the foot. Did you hear whats MCain plans to do to the supreme court? Say bye bye to a womans right to chose. But go ahead vote for four more years the richest people in the country paying the least amount in taxes.....godd luck with that.
"Why boycott Obama? Want some of John McCocaine? more of president Bush?"
Obama was the Cocaine user please get your facts straight!
Who cares? Who endorsed whom? Any educated adult has his own analytical and thinking power. The candidate could be good for common working people, special interest groups, for old vetaran politicians w/o any major acomplishment for the nation and never volunteer to retire ( Kennedy, Leahy Dodd etc. etc.) and w/o any vision and mission for the betterment of the country. The candidate should be elected based on which group he or she wants to serv.
Unfortunately, american voters are not inteligent enough in judgement of their choice. Otherwise G. W. Bush would not have been our president even for one single day. They became robot voter under the influence of some evil personalities ( Chenny, baker, all preacher of the churches). We don't know what would be the outcome in general election in November. What we know is that money making young adult and African american are definitely thoughtless people who never wants to think the before and after effect of their act. They don't know what to expect from the candidate. The reason is that one group is snob for their success and the other group is ignorant about the life.
With all these in mind, I would suggest that the Senator Hillary Clinton should annoce that she is bowing out from democratic primary process and going to the general election in November as an independate candidate. The all old guard life time politicians of democratic party may receive an appropiate lesson for their dirty politics. Why? Macain as republican, Obama as democrat and Hillary as independent, you can well imagine who will entered in the White House in January 2009
OK that's scary....he was a flop for Edwards.
Bravo!
To Hillary Supporters:
I believe I speak for many people. There is no reason whatsoever that any of us would want Hillary to quit this race if she could focus on her own race. At this stage of the game, no matter who becomes the democratic nominee, we are too close to the general election to continue trashing one another within the same party. It is time for both democratic candidates to appear strong and united.
If Hillary can do that (which means: no negative talk at all about Obama) then, by all means, we would all support her continued campaigning.
I am really warming up to the idea of a joint ticket. I think Hillary and Obama are extreme opposites who could really compliment each other. Why does everyone think it would be a bad idea? I am a republican who is supporting Obama, but I am warming up to Hillary as a VP.
To all those that say, they will switch parties if Obama wins to McCain or if if if if Hillary wins to McCain..Why and what are you trying to prove? Its time we start using our brains and not let our emotions get the best of us. To be honest in my humble opinion one has tried every and anything to destroy ones Image with nonesense and the other have taken the most positive and Unifiying approach in our History. How can anyone truely believe Obama has tried to seperate the party when the person behind him in every aspect ( except for super delagetes, which will change soon) has personally attacked him using people around him. Obama could have easily destroyed the clintons legacy if he was half as negative as she was, but what will that prove and how will that solve our problems. I believe she has hurt their legacy on her own and helped Obama a great deal using the Republican approach. All of the negatives she has thrown at him will most likely be old news to those with common sense and actually do research by November. None of the canidates are perfect nor will there ever be a perfect canidate period. Also, to those who keep calling Obama black and somehow using that against him please stop. His has a white and black grandmother, a white mother and a black father, black uncle and a white uncle, a black aunt and a white aunt, a white cousin and a black cousin, hopefully you catch on to my point. We need to come tother people our hardship, struggles, the war, the economy, Health care, education, the division and etc that is far more important than our personal feelings that need to be addressed. This is 2008 America 40 years after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr movement and dream. Let us look past fear, gender, and race, because until we do that how can we change the way Washington has been ran for decades. Also, if Clinton and McCain are so concerned and truly care of how Washington have abused the Power we gave them than how come it took them this long or for Obama to point it out for them. Now they want to change it, now they are worried about the average person, now they want to reach out, now they want our voices to be heard, now you have to ask yourself is it because they want that power or because they care. Please don't make the same mistake we as a country made by allowing Bush to do as he pleases or Continuously decieve us by using fear and your emotion to distort reality. Now we have a chance and an opportunity to use research not media, to use our brains not our emotions/fear, to use common sense not be naive and etc. Are you ready to move forward in a new direction or go back to the same old Politics? Its up to you, more than ever you have the power to choose.
Peave N Love to all. I am also so happy that people all over the country are so involved regardless of there views.
FEAR WILL DEVIDE US AND TRUTH WILL ENLIGHTEN US
Welcome aboard David Bonior! We appreciate your support....we will also welcome Edwards, the Clintons and their supporters when they decide to join us....We Dems need to unite....
It is amazing to me that Senator Clinton's support would say that they would back McCain if she doesn't win the nomination. Um, does that mean you were not vote for her based on her policy and plans for the nation? Because if you were and she was not the nominee, common sense would say that you would give your vote to the next closest person with similar goals and that my friends is Senator Obama, not McCain.
To say that you would go with the Republican say that you do not value what Democrats are trying to do for the White House.
Please reevaluate your statements and what would be good for the future. I'm sure your candidate would want you to.

anyone know of any websites to boycott obama I am a big hillary supporter, female, white, catholic, blue colar, uneducated, clinging to my guns and religion. Anyone else upset about the pressure for hillary to leave the race. I am one of those that will vote for McCain only to cancel an Obama vote. I think we need a website so the democratic party realizes how serious we are.
I hope YOU realize how ridiculous it sounds for people like you to say you'd rather vote for McCain than Barack Obama. Do you want the next Supreme Court Justice to be more conservative than Antonin Scalia, or stupider than Clarence Thomas? Do you want to see no more Roe v. Wade, and a continued erosion of our rights? Do you want 100 more years of our troops stuck in that quagmire called Iraq? Do you want to pay TEN bucks for a gallon of gas, and see ANWR permanently destroyed by oil spills?
There's much more at stake this time than bruised egos. I support Obama, but if Hillary gets the nomination, I will support her, just like I've supported every Democratic candidate – even when they were not my first choice. I suggest that for the sake of our country and our chldren's future that you do the same.
It's about time everyone wakes up and realize that America has been over due for a change. Can we afford to keep having this bumbling idots run our country. Hillary can't seem to keep her lies straight and McCain is of the same voice as Bush. Too bad they don't send their kids out to war, how important would it be then to fight a senless war that should have never been. It's time for a change and the change is Obama.

Sure…
So did Rush Limbaugh.
So has the Rev. Wright.
So has the Nation of Islam….
So have the socialists of America…
So…..It's still a toss-up where he stands, what he can do…and more importantly what he won't do.
All these people are Americans, that where he stands. All Americans including you.
Whether you like it or not,Obama is the democratic candidate and most probable presient of United States.
God Bless you all, and God Bless the future for our children, as we move forward, united, with Barack Obama.
kathy in ohio... it is very disappointing that with everything going on in the economy, you refuse took look beyond race and looks. I am a white female, but will vote for anyone other than another 4 yrs of bush. well you did say that you are uneducated, so I am not surprised you will feel this way. it takes an educated and unbiased mind to realise that this country has gone down the toilet and we need a fresh set of ideas to pull us out of this slump.
DON'T FORGET... THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND NOT THE UNITED STATES OF THE BUSH' AND THE CLINTONS.
When the eyes cry the other parts are affected,the both senator Obama and Clinton need each other to win this race.Supporters take note!
some of you people won't let go of the race issue huh
sad and pathetic
people should be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Next you'll be saying Obama is a member of the Black Panther movement
give it a rest
Why are so many people upset because Obama could be the next president of the USA? I am for one very happy that Obama has the chance to become the next president due to the fact that he respesents the American Heritage by having a white mother and an black father. That is what makes him qualify as being the next president of the United States of America. Also so I feel that other country will look at the USA as a country that is trying to change. That everyone can and will be treated equally by allowing a biracial man become president. I have no problem with Hillary at all. He she was to become the presidential nominee I would for her even though I support Obama due to I am a democrate no matter what. So for all of you that ride the fence and are not true democrates why vote democrate at all just vote independent, and don't call yourself a democrate.
ALSO WHAT MAKES HILLARY SO EXPERIENCE TO BE THE PRESIDENT. EXPERIENCE TO ME MEANS THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS JOB BEFORE AND YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF RUNNING THE COUNTRY AND IF SHE HAS THIS EXPERIENCE WHEN DID SHE HAVE IT WHEN BILL WAS IN OFFICE? IF SO THEN SHE HAS HAD HER 8 YEARS IN OFFICE SO LETS MOVE ON!!!
OBAMA 08/12
It does not seem to matter who endorses who-the voters make up their own minds. What really puzzles me is why many Americans seem determined to elect the mediocre candidate. We are so easy to market to. Didn't we learn anything from the last eight years? Obama comes across as arrogant and inexperienced. He can't debate, there's no substance to his message, both he and his wife have displayed questionable patriotism, his swooning audiences can't tell you what he's about or what he stands for-scary. My husband and I are life long democrats but if Obama wins the nomination, we will be voting for John McCain-at least we know he's a loyal American.
Ok Clinton supporters...let's hear about how this means nothing!
I hope all the uneducated voters that Hillary appeals to will go get an education when Barack takes office and then maybe I won't have to hear about them anymore.
What a bunch of political moorons! These politicians must really think that all their DIRT and LIES aren't going to come back and bite them in their big ARSE!!!
GIVE ME A BREAK!! I'm sick of these political idiots playing "GOD" with our lives in the Senate and Congress and they are nothing but "bafooms" themselves.
What a JOKE!!
These speaks to our politicians getting away with BAD JUDGEMENT while in office. IT DOES AFFECT THEIR POSITION AND THE DECISIONS THE MAKE FOR THIS COUNTRY!!
YOU can choose to say what they do in private doesn't have anything to do with what they do in office. YOU MUST BE OUTTA YOUR MIND!!!! When "SEX" or anything relating to SEX, it DOES AFFECT EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE!!!!
Americans are stupid if they think it doesn't, SEX and everything that comes with it dictates everything a person does. It could make a person KILL, STEAL, GROVEL, LIE, CHEAT, BEG, HATE AND LOOSE THEIR MINDS on every level. Just watch the NEWS, people DO everything and anything when SEX is involved.
I think he should be removed from office. I think there should be a clear message and clear accountability when it comes to our politicians. THEY KNOW BETTER. It's the POWER, SEX AND GREED that is getting out of control!!!
GREAT NEWS!
Cry me a river, everyone is upset about Clinton, everyone should be upset because none of them have a clue about how the rest of us live and the problems we have, they are millionaires. I will not vote for any of them, as far as I'm concerned dumb, dumber and dumbest need to go back to the Senate and stay there.
Kathy in Ohio:
You go right ahead and vote for Mcsane, and when he take all of your choices away as a women, you'll have no rights or choices concerning your own body. Fool you better look a little deeper into McSane before you make a bigger fool of youself.
Observation
The day after Tuesday's primary, which ended in Indiana after 1:30 a.m., Obama took the next day off, but Clinton started work early in West Virgina. Obama having grown up in Hawaii, were life is laid back doesn't seem to have the energy that I want in my next president. Maybe being from Illinois were Senator Clinton was raised, I know that we have the work ethic, that even if you are up late at night, you get up in the morning and go to work.
I just don't think he will be able to handle the pressure and long hours.
I agree with this side of the MS,
You people amaze me!!...No matter what you will find an excuse not to vote for Obama because of his skin color. Next it will be you heard he doesn't like vanilla ice cream. Just like the words of Jack Nicklaus "YOU IDIOTS CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH" that a black man might be your next president. Just like some of you idiots are bigots for not voting for Hillary because she is a woman.
SO if you truly want 4 more years of Recession than go vote for the "REPUBLICAN" but dont blame Hillary or Barack because you were too dumb to get past your bigot ways in friggin 2008!!
GO BARACK!! 08 its all about change and hate it or love it we all must learn to respect it!!
Nice David. Particularly it is a right thing to do.
The fact that A BLACK MAN is becoming the PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES is eating many people alive, especially guys like LIMBAUGH, LOU DOBBS, and O'REILLY.
