Am I truly supposed to care what this Republican has to say about the Democratics? Huck you lost. Your 15 minutes were up months ago. Despite what you may think, IF Hillary steals this election you will not be her choice for VP. Move along people. Nothing to see here.

Obama has no chance of winning in the fall so we Clinton supporters will keep fighting for her. She has had to face an unfair and attacking press this entire campaign while Obama was given a free ride. Now that he's getting some pressure he does what he normally does and tells us to get over it well I'm not getting over it.

Clinton supporters are real Democrats not newly inspired young people who want a free ticket to a concert. We're choosing our president here and I want someone with experience. I want someone who can win in November. Vote smart, vote Clinton.

Why question is Why didn't you stay to finsh?

Well said, Mr. Huckabee. Also, well said Miss Elaine. The media has been driving this race from the beginning. We need to start thinking for ourselves. Considering that they (the media) have been falling all over themselves to nominate Obama and destroy Hillary's chances, I would say she is pretty amazing to be so close. She is definitely the person I want in the White House in these desperate times.

I'm white. I'm voting for Hillary. If I were black, I would still vote for Hillary. Obama is a liar and UNFIT to run this country. I will NEVER vote for him. You people talk about "coming together"……..it's not going to happen. Don't you get it yet………..we don't like kool-aid and we don't want obama.

"I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy. So at this point I'm gonna focus on the miracle part."

And people think Hillary isn't religious.

My wife is Muslim and My Faith is with the king Jesus. We have a son. You would think we would vote Obama considering his background of having a white Christian Mother and Muslim Grand Father, however we want Hilary to win.

Looks like Obama is definitely in the lead and if he goes on to win, get ready for the Revolution because deep down Obama represents our family.

You can give her all the credit you wish. Afterall, she's just as stupid as you, if not more stupid.

Instead of encouraging people to "unite the party", why don't you just vote for the candidate that best matches your values and mind your own business?

must start off saying I have no reason to vote for Obama other than he is a Democrat.

I can't wait and see what happens when all of you Obama supporters get him the nomination. This party has become divided due to ONE issue and that is the "RACE CARD". People are NOT thinking about our future.

You will get an inexperienced person as your nominee and he will lose to McCain. So when you lose your job, your home and your dignity you will have no one to blame but yourselves. I love my country, but I and many real americans cannot afford any more Republican Presidents.

Think long and hard. Hitler had a huge following and was inspirational and where did that get Germany?????

I agree!! Hillary shouldn't quit! She's a fighter for the people!!

Go Hillary!!!!! (all the way!!!!!)

The job of President is to be a great leader. I see Obama as a true leader, but his party is incorrect….He should have been born earlier and he and Rev. Wright could have led the Black Panthers and RULED AMERICA….Black Power to the PEOPLE…..Sounds insane doesn't it Obama supporters? That is how stupid you sound by attacking Sen. Clinton with your lies…..She WILL be a great President….We live in a Democracy…let things take it course…or are you afraid of the real outcome….Bill was right, obama sounds like a fairy tale more and more each day…..

my comment is awaiting moderation?????????? Cnn what an Obama supporter you are. You are so one sided. Nothing I have said hasn't already been in the news. Must be Ted's way of running the show.

Hillary Huckabee is really going to try and steal this election…..

You guys are out of your mind if you think the the one state that screwed it up for the democrats in 2000 should be the deciders in this race????

Come on ……

No one got to campaign in Florida, Hill did break the rules on that one too, they said she was there……………………….

Maybe even Edwards would have done better if he was able to campaign there, and I know Obama would have done better as well.

Michigan had people not even bother voting since the state we'll just call the democratic election here a beauty contest, and Obama was not even on the ballot…….

If the DNC does this, There will be a lot of Americans who will protest…

Right on Gov. Huckabee you got it right. Win, lose or draw Hillary has a right to finish the race. Besides I am hoping all us Hillary supporters will support McCain and his choice for Vice-President. I hope that choice is you. I certainly believe you are a honorable-religious man not like the the OPPONENT you will face who most certainly is not.

Why didn't Hillary run against Bush?

I still [HEART] Huckabee!

I think the reason people have been asking that she step down is because she's been so negative… if she didn't play dirty, people would agree… she has every right to continue.

Even when Huckabee continued on, he never dissed McCain. That's the big difference between Huckabee and Hillary continuing on.

I am from Florida I voted I want my votes to count we have 50 states last time I looked not 48 if the DNC dose not allow us to vote and count our votes then we will vote Republican

I am with a few people on this, one being Mike Huckabee. Hillary has no reason to drop out of the race. The Obama campaign and supporters are just afraid that if Hillary stays in the race, she will put enough pressure on FL and MI to have their votes count, or atleast have their delgates seated, and with that she has a good possibility of pulling ahead. They are just afraid and get over theier fears. Obamas not presidential material in my eyes. Hes just "another politician" saying that he'll do something, but actually wont. HILLARY IS NUMBER ONE AND ALWAYS WILL BE! VOTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

I want to know is what idiots in the Democratic party thought up this primary chaos? One would really have to work hard to figure out a more confusing, stupid way to elect their party's nominee than this lunacy.

I want Hillary to follow Mike Huckby's advice. He was a real loser and Hillary will be the same1

Chris, you and Most Obama supporters are: Highly educated…..No commonsense…Illconceived and misinformed….just the folks we need picking our President….NOT

Looks like Chris in CT has been downing the Kool-Aid. Chris, Put it down and walk away…Run Chris RUN….

People misunderstood. He means he's got to give her a line of credit… It was just another instance of misspeaking!

Obama '08

Yes We Can

WE are full of hate? It was brought on by your almighty candidate Obama. He is the hate attractor for all of your hate support.

If you want to see hate, just take a look at Rev. Wright and his teaching to Obama. There is your hate. My God doesn't hate….what about yours?

READ THIS DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain are only hurting themselves. 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 unresolved, conservative justices, etc…"

Bill,
What makes Obama a "shyster"? Is it just the fact that you don't like him? With your angry tone, bitter words, and the implication that you also make the decision for your "significant other", it is pretty clear to me that you truly are not an Obama-type voter. Obama's campaign is premised on a positive vision of the future, not recriminations and "gotchas." If you like that kind of bitter politics then tune to Fox "News" and Karl Rove will tell you who you should vote for…

Don't give up, folks!

Hillary will be our next president and she will be the best president in U.S. history.

Hillary will not quit like Gore. Go Hillary!!!!!!!!

If Hillarys staying in is "just playing by the rules", then Florida and Michigans ballots should not be counted,The RULES were set before the race began and she needs to play by all the rules not only the ones that would be in her favor.

hahaha, you will see the final loser is going to be Obama! Hillary is working hard to save the party and the USA. Look at the Democratic party leaders, they setup the rules that play different with general election rule?!!! And what a mess they made for FL and MI voters during the primer?!!! I strongly support Clinton, a respected and excellent leader. Unfortunately the one from the Democratic Party will be the loser and the president will go to Republic this year whatever you want or not.

Your comment is awaiting moderation. ?????????????????????

Huckabee fought with good principles and honor.

Hillary Clinton fights with knifes and kitchen sink for her own personal satisfaction. Hillary constantly employees CHEAP SHOTS and chooses LOW ROADS.

Hillary Clinton SETS HER OWN RULES and CHANGES RULES constantly during the game.

Just like she said yesterday, if she could use Republican's rule in the Democratic race, she would have won the Democratic race????? Hillary can keep running and moving herself straight into a psychiatric ward!

Again and again, Hillary proofs herself to be DISHONEST AND UNTRUSTWORTHY!

John Carlson, can't wait until Obama is totally expose!!!

Shut up Huckabee! John McCain is using you to get the evangelical vote. It's amazing how preachers seem to rise to the occasion when there are elections. Whatever happened to the seperation of church and state?

America for Obama – Yes We Can!!!

Guess what?

A Clinton/Huckabee ticket is a dream ticket!

….except Huckabee didn't constantly sprewing venom when he was in the race and didn't claim Democratic candidates were better than John McCain….

I SUPPORT HILLARY, BUT IF OBAMA IS THE CHOICE THEN I SWITCH TO McCAIN, BEING A VET, THE ONLY RIGHT THING TO DO.

To Hillary supporters who are pissed that this race is over for Hillary and you are gonna vote for Mc Cain…

If you notice or care – that won't stop Obama!

Face the facts – he won!

Do yourself a favor and go on Mc Cain's blog and post your nasty comments there and start sending Mc Cain some money -

Ok
so who is the republican and elitist here:

Hillary has had all alogn the support of Limbaugh without him she could not have won PA, OH and IN we all know it
Hilary has the support of Hennedy
HIllary ahs the support of and admiration of all the GOP,

why does not Hillary joing the Republican party, she and Mccain one and the same
republican ticket
McCain _ President
Hilary 08 _ President

She is what she is but it is time she grow up because the silver spoon is not here for her now. Work Hillary Hillary and that way you will know you have won something.

Hillary supporters fail to recognize that their candidate cannot even run her own campaign. How do they think she will run the country? Does she plan on loaning millions to the people her and Bill will be putting out of work while they make millions promoting the trade deals??

I find it hard to believe that someone thinks the Hillary supporters have hate in their heart. The majority of the blogs on here are hateful to and about her. The Obama supporters should look in their own closets before speaking the way they do. It's digusting. Be intelligent.

iT JUST MIGHT BE POSSIBLE THAT WE DONT NEED ALL THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS TO WIN THE ELECTION, WE JUST NEED ENOUGH OF SUPOPORTERS.

I am a republican for Obama, and I do not think it is appropriate for anyone to ask Hillary to quit. Her and her supporters have worked so hard and put so much money into their campaign. They should finish the race. I think she knows its over, but she owes to her supporters. I hope she will bow out gracefully at the end. I really think Obama should consider her for the VP spot. But he should not be obligated.

WELL, WELL, WELL, ONE LOSER TALKER TO ANOTHER LOSER. THIS WITHIN ITSELF IS A SIGN. GET OUT COWGIRL.

True! If you're ready to elect an inexperienced, arrogant intern in the White House! Go for it! I'm out of here! What ever happened to the sanity of the American people!

There takes a special grace to admit a loss. Hililary is hanging on for no reason except she cannot accept a defeat. Slick Wily is looking towards his legacy in this. We need to end the Clinton line. We saw what "they" did. They had their moment to shine. We saw what she tried to do for health care and failed again and again. Do people not remember that he was about to be impeached? You may say it's Hiliary running, but Bill is always in the light. The biggest purpose of this due is Saturday Night Live!

Playing by the rule's? Oh the rule's she agreed to about Michigan and Florida that she's now trying to change, the way she keeps moving the goal post, oh it's ok that Obama won 10 state's in a row, what matters is I won Penn.

Playing by the rule's, you have to be kidding me…she's trying to make Mr. Obama look bad because he's played by the rule's, it's horrible the way she spins Florida and Michigan against him, when he was playing by the "rule's" that even she and her campaign agreed to before they realized they were loosing.

I voted for Hillary but even I can see it's over. It is not about fighting to the end but see the reality of the situation.and when she kept on pressing on,I keep thinking if she is still in for herself. want to keep Clinton name in power get out now and come back later.I will still vote for you.I am big Hillary fan and will vote for Obama but would never vote for Republican.It's going to sting little bit not having Hillary on the ballot but there are so much in stake to put another republican in the white house.

If there's one thing that this campaign has revealed..

its that a large amount of so-called "democrats" are in fact traitors!
Im tired of hearing Clinton supporters say they'd vote for McCain
if Obama wins the nomination!

You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! NOT true democrats..

PS. same goes for those who wouldnt vote for clinton id she wins the nomination (though there are less of them)

Hillary will not quite. She is working hard to merit the post of vice president.

It doesn't make economic or political sense to continue to support a losing cause. It's called "escalation of commitment". Look it up if you dare to be educated.

I TOTALLY AGREE BILL!!

HILLARY AS AN INDEPENDANT!!

If you know that OBAMA is going to be the nominee, what difference does it make if she continues the race, it's only costing her and her supporters money, it's not costing you anything. So if that's what she wants to do, I wish her God's speed. NEVER START A RACE TO QUIT – you will either WIN or be DEFEATED. Once you endure to the end, at that time you can be JUSTIFIED. I BELIEVE IN LONG-SUFFERING, ENDURANCE AND PATIENCE, even the odds are against you,keep fighting, NEVER QUIT!!!! I say this because I strongly believe in what I do, regardless what other people want, I have to do what's best for me, whether good or bad that's my CHOICE. Just like this is Senator Clinton's choice, regardless how bad it looks to us, she's doing what she feel is best for her as well as for other voters that didn't get a chance to cast a vote for their candidate of choice. SO PLEASE LEAVE HER ALONE.

Miss Elaine….Hillary did not win by 7% in Indiana….She won by less than 2%…..And yes, I don't think it would be unreasonable to say that there is a big difference between 2% and 14%!

Oh I havent had any Republican crediting Obama WHYYYY?finaly its going to be "Yesterday vs Tomorow" I mean Obama vs Mcain.
About FL and MICH… .why did they change the rules of the game before playing or do they want to change at second round of the the game? and you think this wont damage the Party?
And we should be carefull as Democratic we are heading towards a wrong way

This story is so overdone. And how is this hurting the Democratic Party? All I see is that both Hillary and Obama are getting 24/7 news coverage, taking turns slamming McCain. If Hillary wants to stay in the race, let her! Who cares?

OK. Chris…. go to govwatch.org it will show you how many times Sen. Obama has not shown up for Votes, in his time as a Senator, how many times he did vote (not too many more than no shows on the Senate floor) Present and he was not in the Senate to vote on the war. So what experience exactly are you referring too?

Hillary is a winner and a fighter–just what we need in America–even my husband who is against women leaders is impressed. He has changed his vote , but will vote McCain if Hillary is not the candidate.

The credit goes to Huckabee for knowing when to quit. Hillary could use some advice from Mike.

i despise obama supporters.

clintons first acts as president:

richardson, pelosi, dean, and all the other obama/balloon-grabbing opportunists to be shot at sunrise.

left-wing media to burnt at the stake. olbermann, borger, cafferty.. all to die, please.

that'll unite the country.

huckabee is right she shouldnt drop out, besides obama is the weaker canidate even if he wins the nomination, i will vote for mccain just to knock out obama.i will not vote for a man who has a long list of radical friends, even in his book just proves my point.

you better stay out from democrats.specially barack obama.

Interesting how the Obama supporters have been insulting Mrs. Clinton for months. When they realize they need her supporters in the the fall it will be too late. As a college educated woman I , and every Democrat I know, will be crossing party lines to vote for McCain if Hillary is forced out. Show a little respect for someone with decades of accomplishments! How long has Obama been working- three minutes? He can't even call a meeting of the committee he chairs because he is too busy campaigning.

Of course you have to give clinton credit. she's the best candidiate out there by a mile.

its sad the far-left has decided to take the democratic party on a suicide mission with their poster-boy. they can hear every republican in the land shouting for joy that it's obama… but its ok. they just keep pretending that he'll 'unite the country' in the end.

good luck with that!

its kerry all over again. but thanks to you far-left + democratic establishement, its too late. here's johnny!

Even though I have no respect for his policies, Hillary should take this guy as an example. Yes, he kept running even though he had no chance of winning, but by drawing differences between himself and Mccain and not by playing dirty.

who is huckabee?loser

Futhermore, All these "friends" Barack is making across the aisle undoubtedly comes from promises made. GOP sees Green. O supporters will say it's because of his charm. Please. The # 8 means new beginings and all this year starting with super bowl,(Go Giants! )the underdog has won. Stay in it Hillary until it done!!! ALL THE WAY!!

There is something wrong when you feel that Hillary should be the candidate just because she is a woman and you want to she a woman as president in your life time. That is a poor excuse! This country needs changes and Hillary is still behind the old boy network. She is not the person to bring about change. Unite the party and lets win in November Obama 2008

Its unfair to say for Hillary to quit. What if the result of Florida and Michigan votes were counted long time before. I think everything will change. She will be ahead of Obama. And everybody now will say Obama should quit. It's also unfair to say that Obama won. Won on what? 48 out of 50 states. Superdelegates will have a meeting come end of May. Why end of May? Why not long before? So, all of the candidates will get the proper votes. I think we have a major flaw in the Democratic party when it comes to this. I think Mccain will have an easier time winning the election come November since he is the weaker link/candidate as compared to Hillary. Sorry for the Democrat.

That's all well and good, but this isn't a sporting event. I also have to wonder about Huckabee's ulterior motives. After all, Clinton is doing a lot of damage to the party by remaining in the race.

Ya, looks like Obama is going to win. Then again, it looked like the Minnesota Vikings were going to beat the Dallas Cowboys in the 1975 NFC semi-final playoff game. Time for Hilary to throw one last "Hail Mary" (even though she is not Catholic) and let the chips fall where they may. You never know.

None the less, it's good to see her playing til the end because the President of the United States should be someone who continues to play even when the chips are stacked against them.

I agree with "Hilary supporter, but will not betray democrats". I am an Obama supporter but I agree wholeheartedly…at the end of the day…we have to unite and do whats best for the democrat party. Any democrat choosing to vote for McCain because they are pouting about their choice of president not beintg the nominee ought to be ashamed. Stop wearing your hearts on your sleeves and do whats right for this country that is suffering. I can't believe that you all would rather struggle and watch the economy fold because your candidate of choice isn't winning. Grow up! Think about the bigger picture and the lives of those to come.

She can run as long as she wants, but she is trying to change the rules set by the party to her advantage.

“You know it’s frustrating to those of us who spend all of this time, effort and money — we get our supporters out there, we play by the rules that were handed ….."

The problem is Hillary doesn't want to play by the rules and keeps trying to move the goalposts!

I love how the Clinton campaign also keeps saying Obama blocked the FL and MI votes which is such a load of bull! Way to "unite" the party by tearing it down, huh Hill?

The Clintons are only out for themselves in a desperate power grab to save their crumbling dynasty. Whay can't everyone see it like it really is?

This guy hit the nail on the Head! If Mike Huckabee was still running I would rather vote for him. And I am a registered Democrat and have been all my life.

The logic is simple, we as Democrats have to find fair and reasonable solutions to seat the Mich. and Fla. delegates. The people voted, let us not alienate them. I spent almost an hour waiting to vote this past Tuesday. I would hate for my vote to be jepardized in any manner.

Fair means being fair to the people of these states, not the candidates! My call is to the DNC to get these delegates seated so that our candidate, Obama or Clinton, will be relevant when the party's nominee has the run-off in November.

Again, seat these delegates so that these people know their votes do matter in supporting the Democratic party.

Use logic.

I agree with Huckabee. She can stay, but only to build party unity. Now is the time for her to mend the fence. The people have heard what she had to say.

She have to stay on she still can win nominee. Obama unelectable guy
why she have to drop out, people going divided this country if he get President black white going to fight each other in the future because he
slow react.

Hillary don't quiet!!!!

I'm sick of people like Huckabee. If you're going to go on the record with all the tough talk about sticking it out till the end, then you should've done the walk and talked that talk. YOU QUIT BUDDY!!!!

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.

Is he simply jealous of how DNC treats losers as compared to how RNC treated them? Switch party.

hahaha Hillary is the new Huckabee… I love it!

If you think that for the sake of unity in the screwed up Democratic party I and my significant other will vote for such a shyster as Obama you are sorely mistaken. I am sure there are many more who feel the way I do as well. I guess Dean thinks that people will vote for an inexperienced, lying fraud just to keep his party happy. ( e.g. of one of Obama's many lies: Obama lied in the national debate about his previous stance on gun control and even about his handwriting on a form). Why do people think that the only options are to vote for Obama or McCain? We can abstain from voting or support a 3rd party candidate. I hope someone substantial makes a run as an independant. As far as I am concerned the Democratic party has turned me from a Democrat to an independant this election season. Personally I wouldn't mind if the democratic party went the way of the dodo and became extinct.

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 IS LIKE THE RACE IS MORE GOOD vs EVIL– ALL THIS HATE IS NOT GOOD FOR THE NATION.

SAD

Petition for Barack

Send your petition statement to the DNC.

Is he mocking her or is he serious? If he is serious he should read the news, some of her supporters are asking her to stop. There is no pressure from the Democratic party or from anyone in the Obama camp. She can run as long as she wants.

not sure if this is true, if not someone please correct.

I'm hearing the reason clinton has to stay in financially is because she's loaned her campain over 10Million Dollars.

No one explains how she gets paid back that 10 or so million.

What pays her back are campaign contributions. So until the contributions pay her back, it makes sense to stay in financially.

I feel she should quit, but not for the reasons mentioned. She could have another chance to run in the future, but is now destroying her future chances. similar to Gore. He basically can run in the future and win based on how he graciously backed down and his current record on the environment (just my opinion)

Does anyone know how personal "loans" to your campaign are paid back?

O wake up Americans! If people are calling her to step out, then they shall call not America as a freedom nation. What a joke to the entire world. If all of Democrats are mature enough, it will not split the party, but should encourage those who are weak at the moment and fight till the end. That is what you need them in the party. Not those who act like hypocrites, who voted for her and made a quick exchange for self-interest.

As a foreigner, I am absolutely happy to see this spirited woman in Senator Hillary as she is determined to battle through just like any sportman/woman despite people in large might call her stupid or dumb.

Shame on those who first voted for her and changed. It is good now that she knows who is really a good friend to have and bad not to be with. These so-called super-delegates are just a bunch of hypocrites who promised one thing and did another bad thing. Is it for their own personal gain? I bet you can think it more logically.

As for her, yes, she lost on lack of campaigning funds or other factors. But is that really a concern to choose a better US president? What is your greatest set of criteria for that person as the commander in chief? Think it through thoroughly, and please don't get side track by external influences and own selfishness.

If Barrack Obama is elected, I doubt he can be a great leader for the US and world. Why, simply because he has not got a proven big heart and experiences for such huge tasks in that 4 years later.

I know he is really a good man but perhaps he is young enough to wait for another term.

Senator Hillary has all the characters and caring heart to meet the needs of all kinds, whatever! The World needs her more than America does! Respect her fighting spirit and you gain respect from the world!

Let's face it, if the outcomes between Obama and Clinton were reversed Obama would be out of the race. It's time for Clinton to hang it up and step down. Obama needs to be protected in a "Pope Mobile." That Clinton clan is ruthless.

Right of course Huckabee gives Hillary credit. THATS CAUSE SHES THE WEAKEST CANDIDATE, They want to FACE HER IN NOVEMBER, Duh!!!! Republicans are afraid of Obama's Movement, so they will use their reverse methods to make u believe that she authentic!

Zombies wake up

Obama 08

Why did Huckabee stay in the race when he no longer had a chance?
– To get more material for the book he's going to write about his campaign.

Why is Hillary staying in the race when she no longer has a chance?
– To get more material for the book she's going to write about her campaign.

As a McCain Supporter – I think Clinton should ride this out all the way to August baby!

Oh David, Sen. Obama broke the rules in Florida by running ad's there. He is crying fowl? Is he being kept down by the "white" man again? Gosh those "White people".

Get it? Depending on his reasons, he does play the race card. He needs to STOP dividing America. It is way beyond dividing the Democratic party….He has managed, with the help of his former (be sure to add former, as he is now retired) pastor to DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY WE CALL AMERICA….Stop jumping ship superdelegates, you spineless cult followers.

In any game, there must be a winner and a loser. Such is life. Hillary was very negative in this primary campaign and that came back to hunt her. Sometimes, you do not have to fight to be a woman.

I think Obama supporters as well as the surrogates, especially Ted Kennedy, are so smug. Does anyone remember how "Ungracious" Ted Kennedy was when Jimmy Carter got the nomination? At least, Hillary Clinton will be more gracious than that. Give her some credit folks, especially some of the young people who don't know what it is to work hard. They always want the top without ever having to work for it. This explains their cult-like following of Obama. I am ready to vote for McCain. I will be my pleasure and it is my hope that McCain beats Obama in the genral election. Just like Hillary Clinton understimated Obama, so too will be the same with Obama and the Democratic party underestimating McCain.

Hillary should not quit.!You wanna talk about rules how about Obama supporters trying to ralley to not allow the super del total decide who will be the nominee? Everyone is not in favor or in favor of chaging the rules when it's for thier candidates benefit. He wont make the Mark! (2,025)!! Which will still leave room for arguement. Battleground states Obama can't win!! If you Obama supporters are so sure, then shut up and wait 3 weeks. If you had both credentials on paper and didn't know who these people were Barack wouldn't even get a call back. I'm not willing to get behind a candidate who hasn't proven himself. I am African American and feel that Barack is not for us. If he would have shown up at the State of the Black union instead of trying not to be the "Black Candidate" (something he can't escape) people would have known where he stood on race relations and the Rev. Wright issue would be a non issue. All I have to say, Hillary go ALL THE WAY!!!!!

The Clinton machine argues there is going to be an October Surprise. The only October surprise is going to be Paul vs Clinton which the media including CNN refuses to report on. This is the reason that even though the polls were getting tighter the super delegate stream to Obama continued.

Maybe Huck and Hill can form a Don Quiote club! All you raci I mean so called Hillary supporters who say your going to vote Republican should put a sock in it – you are not believable.In fact many of you are Republicans, 12% in Indiana by most counts.

Guys and Gals!!! Can we all play nicely? We need to focus on uniting the Party and stop all this Hillary bashing.

Again, please please play nice…we are ALL DEMOCRATS.

Dem '08.

Hillary, go independent!!! I for one am sick of the Democrats’ & Republicans. The Dem’s processes are way out of control (Delegates, Super Delegate, and Elections, Caucuses) what a joke!!! The Republicans on the other hand want to sell this country to the lowest bidder. I say give them the finger and let’s take our country back. We need a leader not another lobbest puppet.

Our government needs to be placed under a microscope and the voters need to be aware of what our representatives are doing in office. The American people need to take back control of this country or those yahoo’s are going to run it into the ground!!!

to HSNP go to McCain and cut your own throat!

on idiots commit suicide.

Maybe you should join the Army and figh in Bagdad?

(I'm a Republican) – I support Obama – but if I really wanted to have McCain win…I would so love Hillary to run…it would unify the party – we would draw every Republican….every Independent and the Obama supporters who saw Hillary for the lying panderer she is…

Fortunately that fear-monger/anything to win candidate is done…..

HRC supporters….now…take the "experience" rhetoric that Hillary fed you – look up Hillarys "experience" – i.e. how many cabinet meetings she attended….none….then looks at substance behind Obamas message….see his plans on the web site….then…be really mad at Hillary for lying to you….and donate to Obama.

I will continue to support Obama….no…they don't "all" lie….its really only Hillary

Huckebee should give her advise how to campaign frugaly by staying in cheap motel. He may still have his directory in WV and KY. To say the least, Hillary would not be on the red financially and naive in the political arena. She can decide for herself what to do next but her ego and ambitions are on the way. In democracy we do not show the exit door she knows what to do for her party if she is concerned. We need time to tend our wounds, heal and energize for the next fight with Mcain. I was Hillary supporter until the PA primary. Thank you!!!

As a Clinton supporter, I'm not giving up!

The only way I see this turning around is when the DNC determines something with Florida and Michigan on May 31. With those states counted as is, it is a very close race. Here is the breakdown…

Candidate Delegates Super
delegates Total
Obama 1656.5 260 1916.5
Clinton 1605.5 284.5 1890

Hillary is a fighter and one of her many qualities that attracts me to her the most. I'm not giving up on her yet.

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! We Clinton supporters need to unite and write her name on the ballot in November!!! We can do it, yes we can……

The hardest thing has to be that she was never able to get momentum from the media no matter what she did. Six weeks ago (prior to Pennsylvania) Obama went to Indiana and said that it looked like Clinton would take Pennsylvania and he would take North Carolina and so the real contest would be in Indiana. That would be the true test. So, six weeks later, she beats him by 10 in Penn and he beats her by 14 in NC (like he said they would) and Clinton WINS in Indiana even after being out spent there 4 to 1. So, what happens on that historic night of Clinton winning the tie breaker the real contest?

The media declarers her dead…

Go figure…

Miss Elaine: 7 points in Indiana? Try 20,000 votes. Half a percent! Not even the 2% that keeps being reported in the media. Do your research before you pull numbers out! Also, I think even if it was 7% she won by, he doubled her victory in NC, so how would that not be a landslide?

He's right. You never know what might happen. What if information came out that Obama had links to Islamic terrorists, or that he was secretly going to Black Panther meetings? Hillary would sweep the rest of the states and the Superdelegates would flock to her.

Sure, it's a long shot, but so was the Superbowl underdog…

I think she's got a case to stay in, but it's becoming harder for her to maintain optimism.

Finally somebody said it right, let the people in the states that havent voted have a vote, whats the harm-None.
The Democratic Party will unite in the end, no matter who is the nominee.
I do admire Hillary-what a fighter, I guess thats why I support Hillary and proud to be a Hillary Delegate.

GO HILLARY

Unfortunately, the only way Hillary can win is by seating the delegates from Michigan and Florida at the convention, which would be changing the rules at the end of the game, not playing within them.

Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

The race should be closer but delegates are not given out fairly. Black areas get more delgates than white area . Doesn't sound democratic to me.
Some say Hillary is playing the gender card. How about Obama playing it over and over. Clintons are not racist. It a label Obama and his staff but on them. Why do you think a senator with no record of anything is getting 90+percent of the black vote.

There will be more on Obama folks (hang on) – dumb democrats again.
Chicago, Il

abbey for Obama 2008/12, i will urge senator Clinton to quit and endorse Sen. Obama for the sake of the party.

I agree with Huckabee and think Hillary Clinton should stay in the race until such time as SHE feels she needs to exit. I am a strong Hillary Clinton supporter and initially felt that if Obama gets the nomination, I wouldn't vote. But I've had time to re-think my position and realize that it's very important to unite the Democratic Party for a win in November, and if Obama is the nominee, I will vote for him. However, I join many Clinton supporters in knowing that while Obama can talk and inspire, he will not have a clue what to do when he actually gets in the White House. This is an extremely important point…Hillary DOES know what to do.

I find that the Obama supporters (in general) have such a superior, smarmy tone, a lack of graciousness and manners, to be high handed and rude, that I, as a Democrat, would never want to be a part of such a childish, sophomoric movement.

If Hillary's down, GO MCCAIN! We need adult leadership.

I agree with Huckabee on this one. It is likely the remaining primaries would not change the overall results, even with FL and MI counted as is. Additionally, the attention from these primaries over the next few weeks could help Democrats for the fall, as more new registers get involved in the process.

Dem '08

Barack Obama's new theme song is "Another one bites the dust."

Hillary Clinton's new theme song is "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going."

Newsflash Huckster: She is not playing by the rules, she is attempting to set her own set of rules! If she was trully planning on playing by the rules she would have realized she could not win a long time ago.

it's sad to think that we may have lost our chance to see living history. in my lifetime, i thought maybe i would see the first woman president. there are many charismatic african americans out there with the diligence to run this country, but the former first lady, and one of the most influential lawyers in America, can’t run across too many of those. It’s a sad time for America when we may have lost our only chance to bring women to the table for equality. i mean, barack is 48, she is 60, even if he does screw it up in his first term, she will be 64 by the time she is able to run. he can come back at 52, let her turn this country around and let him get some stag in congress, she had to get her years in just like everyone before her.

god bless you hillary, may your relentlessness, courage, and wisdom be an insignia for inspiration for women across the nation.

Why has the press "black holed" Hillary Clinton? Every story that could be about her, ends up being about Obama. Why is this? Wake up people, the press is channeling your opinion towards their candidate, not necessarily yours. If you really want to know who you should vote for, don't pander to "press opinion." Go to the candidates' sites and read what they have to say, find out for yourself what their platforms are. And CNN is the worst. They don‘t even try to tell the truth. In their story of Hillary‘s "…overwhelming defeat in North Carolina and a narrow victory in Indiana, Sen. Hillary Clinton vowed to stay in the race until her party has a nominee." There were only 7% points difference in their wins. Hillary won by 7% in Indiana and Obama won by 14% points. This isn't a landslide in anyone’s political book. Please people, think. We are better than this, we aren’t living in trees anymore, WE HAVE EVOLVED! Hillary is in this to win.

I am an Obama supporter, but I fully understand Hillary's situation and agree with others that she has every right to stay in the race. However, it's not about staying in the race. It's about her conduct while she's in the race. And given that Obama is ahead of her and has an excellent chance of winning, she needs to tone down her language against him so she's not hurting the party's chances in November. As Huck says, we started this with certain rules. She's entitled to stay in the race. At the same time, she wants us to turn a blind eye to the rules by seating delegates who were chosen unfairly when Michigan and Florida knowingly broke the rules and moved up their primaries. You can't have it both ways. We all want the delegates seated somehow… but it's just not fair to seat delegates when Obama didn't even campaign in Florida or Michigan… and his name wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. It's not like we had fair primaries in those states. Any six year old would understand. A lot of efforts were made to find solutions and Hillary's campaign seems to think it's okay to point the finger at Obama as the roadblock. That's not the case. His side has tried to work toward solutions. It's just not an easy fix.

I would like to see Barack's campaign start up petitions for Michigan voters to sign:

Petition 1: I voted for Hillary because Barack was NOT on the ballot. Michigan residents were told this was a "beauty contest" that wouldn't count. Since you are trying to make it count now, please recognize my voice as a vote for Barack Obama.

Petition 2: I voted UNDECIDED because Barack was NOT on the ballot. Michigan residents were told this was a "beauty contest" that wouldn't count. Since you are trying to make it count now, please recognize my voice as a vote for Barack Obama.

Petition 3: I am placing my vote for Barack Obama now because after I was told by the DNC that the Michigan primary would not count, I choose to withhold my vote. Since you are trying to make it count now, please recognize my voice as a vote for Barack Obama.

Limbaugh needs to get back on his meds…

god bless you hillary, may your relentnes

Clinton supporters. She was robed of MI and FL and the momentum they
would have brought. Lets riot in Denver. Just like the obama people have said they would so many times.

Hillary should not quit. Senator Obama has not yet reached the magic number.I believe that she is the best canditate.

Go Hillary, you still have the support from so many of us.

The reason I was rooting for the Huckabee, scrapping income tax, and using sales tax for governement revenue.
You can't get rid of criminals, so make their purchases pay for health care. With missing taxes from the underground economy you could fix all the highways.

Fred

Got some sour grapes huh? Want some cheese to go with that Whine? You sound like Bush since if you're not with Hillary, you must be against her. McGovern has as much right to change his mind as you do with regards on who to support and that doesn't make him a 'traitor.'

nicely said HUKABOO ! you talk about rules and how it says that HILLARIOUS can stay on clowning until the finish line. but wait a minute, didnt the same rules say that if FL and MI move up their primary, they wont be recognised ? can some non prejudicial clear minded unracial someone out in HILLARIOUS land tell us what would then happen to the rest of the democratic presidential candidates who could equally have picked up delegates if they had not been equally denied their due. can they equally benefit from any split up of the delegates ?. Say the DNC split up the delegates 20 for hillarious, 20 for Obama, 15 for edwards, 10 for richardson etc and then allow the other candidates give up their delegates to any candidate of their choice. that would really be playing by the rules !

Funny how Huckabee is still trying to defend his idiotic crusade to stay in the race even after it was impossible for him to win. The man was never a contender and will never be one, why are we still listening to his commentary???

I hope you dems keep fighting over this.You dems keep crying broke but somehow Obama received over $100,000,0 in funds .

Huckbarack abee is right. Hillary Clinton has every right to remain in the race. Until Barack Obama hits that magic number, he's not the nominee. And if Sen. Obama can't handle the heat of Sen. Clinton, he has no chance against John McCain and the GOP.

I think Obama said it right a few weeks ago, this race is making him stronger. So let the fight continue!

The song "The Gambler" comes to mind. Everyone knows that Clinton is out of aces and has a losing hand, so why doesn't she fold?

I think he is talking about giving her a loan … I think that is the credit that she really needs …

As long as she mends her ways, then I think she should continue to run if that's her desire.

But if she continues to rile up her Florida and Michigan supporters, as she is apparantly intent on doing, then she is doing a disservice to the Democratic party and, by extension, to the country. At that point she needs to be slapped down.

I'd say the same of anyone, male, female, black, white, camel or dromidary, that did the same.

RE: skeletons

Vince Foster, Mike Brown . . . these are ACTUAL skeletons

Listen to them, Hillary! They are all your friends now.

All the REpublicans want the race to continue… Do you have an idea WHY?

Yes, Hillary should stay till the end, for 2 reasons:
1. It's why she got in, its the principle.
2. How else will she pay the debt she owes.

Huckabee came out exactly one day after Mitt fine boy Romney because he also wants the VP position. Its all about positioning.

The Dems do not need the Reps telling them what to do.

Hillary should stay in until the last primary as long as she 1) doesn't expect the DNC to bail her out financially and 2) stops with the negativity toward the Democratic nominee. She has an opportunity to repair her image and show her support for the party over the next few weeks – will she take it?

Forcing someone to quit now and only have half of the support of the democratic Party is a terrible way to end a race. These supporters asking someone to unite around one person is no way to heal any type of divide and yes, it is Obama's fault too.

He is trying to justify for what he did in his own race. A BLACK MAN is becoming mostpopular and having a chance to become the PERSIDENT OF UNITED STATES, it is eating many people alive.

The problem the DEM party has is a repeat of 2004. They can't get it right and its there own fault. Obama's words of change or not even his own. Its not what he feels in his heart of hearts. Its someone else lines he using and half of the party is going for it.

Of course he supports her going on when it doesn't seem reasonable. He did the same thing!

I believe all the candidates have good qualities and they all should be treated with respect regardless if we agree or disagree – remember folks – that is what America was built on.

I don't like the DNC rules at all. In the primary they should look at the states that they usually win and at the one they suppose to win on November, I believe that why they have superdelegates.

Right on. Hillary is doing the best campaigning for the Republican party right now. Keep up the good work!

I'm an Obama supporter….no one should tell her to quit.

Who cares what Barney Fife has to say… and there are actually people who think this little speech was not politically motivated… that Huckabee
does not resent the Clintons AFTER battling their machine in Arkansas.

For "ha, ha, ha". Proper English is "why don't Hillary and Huckabee join ".

Hillary should not drop out until Obama receives the required number of delegates to be declared the winner. Michigan and Florida votes need to be included and why not wait until all the states have voted. What's Obama afraid of?

Clinton or McCain 08

now hillbillary is getting political advice from republicon s i think she has a new party

Ha….add this to the sad list of Hilary supporters.

I forgot to include in my post -

I think it was Hillary's campaign managers who kept changing the rules and laws because they knew they had lost the race back in February by selecting which states to win and not understanding all the math!

And of course Huck will give Hillary some credit. I am sure he can relate because he got out of the race when he decided it was time… however… he wasn't trying to kill Mc Cain, cheat and destroy his party!

Thou shall not steal.

Hillary does not care about her party! It is all about Hillary!
Americans got to know Hillary and did not like what they saw!
Act your age for once in your life and leave with grace!
Rev. Wright didn't work, Bill Ayers didn't work, try Santa Claus!

Hillary is the new Huckabee.

I think Hillary should be able to finish the process, knowbody should be telling her to quit. Everyone acts like she is so far behind ,when shes not. I am and was for Huckabee and I think it was wrong when everyone asked him to quit as well.

Right on Huckabee-You have to respect a hardworking, courageous fighter that doesn't give up. Especially when the alternative is a flip/flopping wuss who the media has been gunning for the entire way.

She is 'playing by the rules' ?? Did Huck think this was an interview with SNL ?

Fight to the end and have no regrets. How many people do you actually know who can do something like this? Not many. This is why the GOP fears Hillary Clinton. She's a tenacious fighter willing to trade shots with the GOP. She knows how to play the game.

Obama will just sit there and go, "So and so said this or that, and you know, it's simply UNTRUE." It's his generic comeback for everything.

We need strength in the White House.

Clinton or McCain 08.

Hillary has every right to stay and fight for the nomination. She deserves to be the next president of the U. S. I don't know what you Obama supporters are thinking, but you better fight hard for him because I don't believe that he has a chance in Nov. Obama is not going to have an easy time against John McCain.

hmmmm…proper grammar is so "elitist"

Well…

We all know Obama will win… She can stay in as long as she wants, but it wont change the outcome… unless she stays nasty, which will screw the Democrats in the fall.

You know you're screwed when you are getting sympathy from Huckabee and compared to Huckabee… and getting campaign notes from Huckabee…

Have we all forgotten what happened with that poor fellow???

~Go Obama and such

I'm also an Obama supporter, but I have to admit that I like Huckabee. He seems to be such a voice of reason. That said, I think she should quit on her own terms, but she shouldn't be trying to change the rules in the 4th quarter that she agreed to before game time. Poor sportmanship.

My sincere hope is that Hillary gets the nomination loses to McCain in a double landslide and we are rid of her incompetence here in New York. Her only well developed skill is lying, oops pardon mis-speaking!

With it becoming more and more apparent that Obama will be our democratic nominnee, I encourage all woman take your questions and concerns to Barack Obama NOW.

Should John McCain win in the fall, womens rights are in jeopardy, childrens rights are in jeopardy.

Please let us join hands and hearts to keep womens rights and ensure that our children will NOT be subject to a draft that looms if Republicans win this fall.

it's gonna take some time for Hillary to get it, but eventually she will drop out!

Obama is the nominee, but we need to give Hillary some time to let the reality sink in and we can all unite around Obama and trounce John McSame in the fall!

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

Obama supporters – notice how Hillary supporters are and have acted just like her? They lie, are bitter, selfish (don't care about party just want her) and would rather have four more years of bush than give a good man a try. By the way Sharon in MN – are you really Hillary disguising yourself because you sound just as delusional as her. And to the others that think Obama has only the black vote what about Iowa, Vermont, Hawaii, Wisconsin……………………………………………….

Joyce in Florida,

Maybe just maybe if Florida takes some notes from lets say Cuba, Iraq, or maybe even Russia you guys might be able to conduct an election down there.

What is this, the third presidential election in a row that you guys have found a way to screw-up.

It is sad that some want a scandal to sink Obama. With all the scandals the Clintons have had over the years and are still standing do you think it will sink Obama? It is sad that people wish opponents ill will in order for them to be defeated. Such elementary school playground mentality. Huckabee please stop and focus on your own political party

Nobody needs your credit Huck.

Clinton has the right to stay beacuse most american (democrats white
Hispanic and asian american etc.) will vote for her if she is the nominee and not vote at all if she will not be the nominee.

Right. Sometimes Dems should listen what Republicans are saying about them.

I start to like Limbough. It seems that he has more common senses than some out-touching Dem elites.

"we play by the rules that were handed " Duh? Michigan? Florida? Her Party said No Campaigning in Florida….Hillary had her surrogates deluge the state with campaigning; Her Party said No to Michigan…her name was the only name on the ballot! The Huckster still has his usual cockeyed notion of what it means to "play by the rules."

Hillary needs to stay in the race!! If she drops out we are handing the presidency to McCain, if Obama is the nominee, I and everyone I know will either vote for McCain or simply stay home. NO VOTES FOR OBAMA.

I agree with Huckabee she sure is a fighter more than I as her supporter give her credit for.

If Huckabee ran with Hillary, they would win. I'm serious, they would win.

I share the feelings of a lot of people in this country but for a different reason. I, too, don't think Sen. Clinton should get out of the race. I think she she stay in and spend her time and energy trying to repair some of the damage she has and still is creating. The longer she remains on this path, the harder it will be for non grounded democrats who support her to see the BIG picture.

Sen. Clinton – the game is now bigger than you. If you truly believe a democrat needs to be in office, listen to the millions of voters who have said Obama is that democrat!

No Tidho, telling Clinton to quit right now is the same as ending a playoff game two minutes early, or ending a best of 7 series when a team gets 3 wins and is leading in the forth game.

So, actually, telling Clinton to quit is the exact opposite of your example. Who is being ridiculous now?

Make sense a republican would back Clinton in this way.

He knows all too well that every day clinton stays in the race it hurts the dem's potential in november and helps his party.

This is all about PRIDE for clinton at this point and she needs to have the country and the dem's best interest in mind.

I am a hardcore Obama supporter

And it is unfair to ask Hillary to leave now..

She will win Kentucky and West Virginia and PR..She will get some superdelegates also..

I am sure that the nomination will go to Obama, but we have no right whatsoever to ask Hillary to leave…

She has been one of the best competitors- and believe me or not- she has actually made Obama a better and stronger candidate for General Election…

If only she were 'playing by the rules'. I don't think Hillary even understands that there are rules — unless of course, they are for anyone but her & her family.

I find it funny how all the Hillary supports now think Mike Huckabee is such a great and smart man. Now two months ago, according to the same people he was the spawn of the devil.

It just makes me laugh at the same old politics. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or the enemy that speaks nicely of me is now my friend.

SAD! All he wants to do is to widen the divide that is in the party. Can't you see that?

Sports analogies are sometimes useful, but not in this case. This is not a football game or a horse race. Contrary to how the Clintons and others describe it, politics is NOT a game. Building and leading a nation is a serious and gargantuan task that requires thoughtful and intelligent leadership focused on the people, not on the leaders.

people, he didn't add that he had seen it was a losing battle, so he grew a brain and dropped out. it's over, we need to move on

It's Hillary's campaign and it is her call. The Democratic party initially had many attractive candidates. Unfortunately, when Bill Clinton played the race card, it polarized some of the voters. When Hillary Clinton demurred when asked if Barack Obama was a Muslim and said not as far as she knew and when her ads took a page from Karl Rove's playbook, it reflected poorly on her character. The Clintons ruined this for themselves. But let them decide when to end it.

Hillary 2008 !

Let the nominations go on

Huckabee's right – she's put up a tireless campaign…runs circles around Obama. Go Hillary – win WV!!!

Hillary should take notes from Humpabee. He knows what he’s talking about. He has the experience of a looser.

Obama 08

It's a shame that this has become more about Hillary and her ambitions than it has become about finding a representative for the Democratic party. It's telling when so many of her supporters threaten to vote for McCain in the general if she's not there. McCain and Hillary have very little in common politically, but her fans would turn on the Democratic party just because she lost. She lost! She had every advantage going into this race, but she lost. Why in the world does that mean we should settle for another Bush term?

Way to represent the party Hillary. You're a great spokesperson for the Republicans.

Why are Obama supporters so worried about Clinton when they believe they have the nomination wrapped up? Most people have already decided whether they will vote for Clinton or Obama if their candidate does not reach the general election. If Clinton dropped out today, a month ago, or in a month, I still would not vote for Obama in the GE.

Now everyone loves the spoiled selfish girl who would not play by the rules and put herself first.

My daughters deserve a much better role model at this level.

Hillary has a right to stay and no one is disputing that. The real question is should she stay, since there's hardly a chance that she'll win. If I was her, I'd help unite the party and spend the rest of my time making sure a democrat gets into the white house.

Why is Canada looking more and more like the land of milk and honey? Gawd, make it all end before I lobotomize myself!

Once again, Mike Huckabee shows what an honorable man he is. He says what he thinks, not what someone's telling him to say, paying him to say, or what he thinks he should say for the good of the Republican party. Although he disagrees with the Democratic candidates, he has always shown respect for them and an understanding of what they have gone through to get where they are.

She is trying to change the rules,remember you did not tell the GOP to take the election from the winner even if you lose and you also did not try to destroy McCain by calling him un-electable.

I agree about Hillary staying in. It is bringing out more and more voters than it has shown in past elections. Its been a long time since Americans have been this interested in not only who but what matters. Everyone is feeling like his and her(general public that is)'s voice is being heard. Let the lady run to at least June. Despite what some may think of Hillary. By June if the writing on the wall is for Obama to be out there as President. Then he will have a good right arm supporter with her bringing what skills and talents she can offer. To help clean up the hundreds of neglected in baskets lining the hallways of the White House.

I wonder how many Obama supporters that liked Huck for saying that the Rev. Wright issue should not be held against Obama are now bagging on Huck for saying this about Hillary?

Why not give Obama some credit?

The louder one gets heard by Huckabee.
Hearing is not the only function of our senses.

Why should she quit? She didn't set the primary dates they were set by the DNC & individual states. I think she should play it out until the end; if she had quit months ago (after Ohio & Texas) like everyone called for her to do we would not have heard about the "skeletons" in Obama's closet.
I have been reading blogs for months now I have to say that the group who seems to be VERY rude are the Obama supporters (yes, Hillary supporters are rude as well). For some reason his supporters seem to think that the only people backing Clinton are backwoods imbeciles who work at the local McDonalds that don't know any better & are racist. That is quite offensive to me & it tells me that you have "elitest" tendencies you can't accept other peoples' opinions because you are "correct" no matter what –

Me thinks that the good Sen. from NY is devoid of all the social graces, but only she can decide when it's time to drop out….and it better be the first week in June. Did someone forget to pay the "fat lady" or is the good Sen. hard of hearing?

As an Obama supporter I think that Senator Clinton should stay in for the remaining contest. We have less than a month to go so let it play out. If supporters, pundits and campaign advisors would just give her some space I believe that she will do the right thing and bow out graciously.

No matter what happens as a result of the primary season, Democrats need to rally around the nominee and take back the White House.

I want Perot back!

Hillary has a right to stay in the race. I do not think she should stay in until the convention but that's for her to decide. As an Obama supporter I realize that how you finish the race is just as important as how you start the race.

Hillary has run a tough campaign. I didn't like all of her tactics but she's a fighter and I admire her for that. My hope is that all Democrats will unite in the fall and support the nominee. Cutting one's nose off to spite one's face is not the height of wisdom. Keep in mind what is at stake here; War in Iraq, Economy, Jobs, Education, The Supreme Court, etc., etc, etc.

Democrats 08

Everyone says Obama has skeletons in his closet .. and they are waiting for it to come out. I got news for you, the clintons have more than skeletons, they have the entire Jurasic Park. Obama ran a honest campaign and decided not to stoop low to the clinton machine

The clintons are the most popular name in American, and this young Senator from no where beat them at their own game, and to add salt to injury, he ran a clean campaign.

Hilary, America has spoken, and i am sorry, but it's time to hit the road.

Obama 08

Hillary is a very strong person.

Experienced, for the people, and a fighter.

All good for a president.

Hillary 08

people will miss Hillary when she does decide it's over, cause you will be stuck with your decision, and there will be turning back
I admire a woman who can stand her ground

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.

Hillary Clinton is a strong person.

Experienced, for the people , and a fighter.

Good for a president.

Hillary 08

This from a candidate who dropped out at the first sign of defeat….???

If Mitt Romney or Huckabee had any balls at all, they wouldn't have let a 70+ year old geezer take the nomination from them without even a hint of a fight!!!

Hell, Huckabee is getting more votes than Ron Paul who is technically still IN the race…. And now Huckabee has the guts to say Hillary should keep fighting?????

STFU Mike, you are turning into a Rush shill.

Of course Huckabee gives her credit. She is beginning to sound like him. Yesterday she said she will stay in the race until there is a nominee. This was Huckabee's mantra when McCane had over 1000 delegates, and he had about 200.

I think Hillary and Huckabee should be on the same ticket.

Hilliary has to win the remaining primairies by around 80-20 just to catch up to Barack. McCain can't even get this amount despite clinching the nomination months ago.

Sure, Football teams have come back from 4 touchdowns back in the past when there were still 2-3 quaters to play, but never when there was only a minute left in the game.

huka is same like hillary but finaly wat happen to him, he quit. so let wait till may 20 when obama will reach 2025 and see if she will still be running as john steward ask obama on his show.

McCain/Huckabee will lose my vote.

I cannot tolerate any slightest possibility of Huck in charge of the Oval Office.

Anybody but Huck and Hillary!

I hate to say it, but,… that "horse race" analogy just makes a lot more sense after saturday night,… Time for Hillary to go. It's over.

Hillary has every right to stay in the race as long as she has the funds and abides by the party rules that were agreed upon.

What's turning people off is that in her "quest" for the nomination, Hillary seems to have no problems trying to change the rules in order to further her self-interest. Not a pretty sight for any candidate – regardless of party.

Play by the rules – win or lose! It's that simple.

LMAO not betray democrats…you would vote for an Idiot to run our country (did you for for Bush?), than a person with brains and isn't Anti-America!!!

I have and always will be a democrat….but vote for an Anti-America candidate because he is a democrat…it about the stupidest thing I have heard.

I will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee!!

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.

Is it: "Gosh, she out to drop out." Or maybe did he mean: "She ought to drop out."

"She entered this thing to play til the finish line"? No, she didn't. She entered to be coronated, whic,h thankfully, will not be happening in 2008.

The Huck's actually a pretty good guy. I don't agree with his policies but he seems to be fair minded and not about a bunch of trashing canidates like bullies on the schoolyard. .

Does the president need to know math? if not, then she could run as long as she wants.

I respect this man. This time I don't agree with him. I think this should be ended. God Bless you Mr. Huckabee.

Crazy Arkansas hillbillies.

Why Hillary has to quit the race ?
Needed to win 2025

Obama won 1588 so he need 2025 -1588 = 437

With out the help of supper delegates he can’t win the nomination

Supper delegates they can change their minds at convention

We have 6 more states to vote until the last vote count we can’t say who have more popular vote

Count the votes from Florida and Michigan first

So race is not over

Pundits please quit whining

If I were Hillary Clinton, this would not be an endorsement I was seeking.

She didn't play by the rules the Democratic Party set when she had her name on the Michigan and Florida ballots. Obama did follow the rules and left his off, and now Hillary wants those delegates to count.

I'm tired of her "anything it takes to win" dirty politics. It's one thing to fight to the finish. It's another to throw sand in your opponents eye.

Call me a McCain Democrat!

How does Obama 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

Huckabee and Hillary are two peas in a pod. Neither one of them knows when the race is over.

Two points;

His perspective is that of a self absorbed candidate, and the longer it goes on the more things benefit his party. What else would he or could he say?

My opinion it's a waste of time and money. She could use the time to help the party by helping Obama.
It's her time and her money she is entitle to do whatever she please. I must say even if I never been able connect with her I have a great admiration for her tenacity.

Huckabee this our house (democrat) and you need to get out. But I hope your book sells well enough to pay down your debt.

That's hillarious. I was thinking just last night that Hillary is the Huckabee of the democratic party. They're both losers and just don't realize it.

Why are they trying to get her to drop out when she won Indiana and he won North Carolina? Wasn't he suppose to win North Carolina anyway?

Although I am strong Obama's supporter, I like what he said.

shut up loser.

Your position is understandable, Governor Huckabee, you ran a campaign to promote yourself and try to win the nomination. However, the entire Clinton family has run a duplicitous campaign with an almost overriding goal of damaging the "electibility" (to coin the overused media cliche of 2008) of the likely Democratic nominee, with a possible effect of damaging their party in the process. That's the main difference here.

"She is playing by the rules" ??? Come on, Mike. She is playing AGAINST the rules. She would like to change the rules during the game. Are both of you were playing? Presidency is a serious matter, not a play or game.
Your credit is very understandable.

If you quote someone you might want to pay particularly close attention to spelling. The word in Huckabee's quote should be "ought" not "out". So what other corners are you guys cutting there at CNN???

Hillary is a fighter, she will not give in to an empty suit wearing, slick talking, refuse to allow Florida and Michigan votes, scared to debate against a women, fraud from Hawaii push her around.

Hillary should not beg for money when she is making a victory speach. Obama as the all-but-certain nominee and casting Clinton as a dogged but deluded also-ran. Most people think "She just took a beating in NC and now she wants me to give her money so she can take a beating in Oragon? NO thanks I will buy gas, no need to listen to it". Hillary, stop begging, pay your bills, and get out of the race.

Of course he'd say that, the republicans are eating this up. They want Clinton and Obama to fight all the way to the end. It's clear repub strategy.

Of course he sould say that, every Repoblican wishes to see Democratic Party in pieces.
Nice try.

I agree with Huckabee. The democrats set up the rules that state a candidate must have a certain amount of pledged delegates to win the nomination. If neither candidate has that amount, the superdelegates INDEPENDENTLY decide who should win the nomination. It's a rule that democrats must live with.

It's all about folowing the rules. So everyone should follow the rules or we will send a message to everyone that rules do not matter.

Obama '08

Huckabee, paragon of virtue, has been charged with ethics violations repeatedly. This guy is commercial all the way. I can only imagine what this fox will do in the chicken house once he's handling that PAC money. His endorsement of Hillary's continued fight for the nomination reflects the true nature of both their characters.

When you consider Hillary has had to work against corrupt media , pollsters in the obama pocket, Hate filled web sites like daily kos, ect. Rigged cacuses, illegal voting, fraud,which the media chooses to turn a blind eye to, I think she IS a winner.
Obama has been able to arrogantly stumble from debate to debate, state to state , with the help of all the far-left ( we think America is mean and lazy too) groupies,

DOWN WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THEY ARE NOW A JOKE !!

Hillary must stop telling her supporters that they matter.

She wants Michigan and Florida votes to count as if they matter, she talks like she's the only one that really cares about them.

She wants a tax holiday for all the lower income supporters to get their votes.

But now all she talks about is the vote of the "supper deligates"
so in reality the "little people" do not matter to her or ever did.

To make matters worse she is still asking for money from the above mentioned.

You know, I really admired Mike Huckabee when he stayed in the race. There were a few major differences between him and Hillary Clinton. Huckabee didn't try to create his own math, Huckabee didn't try to change the rules, Huckabee campaigned with integrity and he didn't go into debt to do it.

At this point Clinton's I will win it no matter what I have to do stratedgy is getting tiresome. Also the fact that she can not manage the funds of her own campagin is worrisome to say the least. Hang it up Clinton.

Of course this is what he will say. He is endorsing the opponent so he wants this thing to drag out even more.

Wow, these old guys really haven't realized that their so-called mystique that has fooled the American people for so long has dissipated.

MR HUCKABEE
i have lots of respect for you
and arkansas wants you back for governor/not president or vp. we had better years in your time then the clinton years here and god forbid, mr bee bee is a joke that is taking our great state down

MIKE HUCKABEE FOR GOVERNOR FOR 12TH TERM

white lady in arkansas

Oh good lord it’s not about her it’s about this party coming together before it’s too late……All Republicans want Hillary to stay in so what else is new!!!!

This is not news

I understand what Huckabee is saying, but I also think, we have our candidate and we need to move to the general election.

At this point, we do not have the luxury of one month of sparring. With Mrs. Clinton's name recognition, she should have been a shoe-in. She wasn't. That says a lot.

Let's get ready for the general.

Wish you were a Democrat, Mr. Huckabee!

How appropriate! From loser (Mike) to another loser (Hillary!

I'm a conservative and don't really care for any of the candidates running this year. I do admire Mrs. Clinton sticking to her guns and fighting to the finish. Until the convention its impossible to know what will happen or what will turn up. What political scandal awaits, or what stupid thing a candidate will say that will cost he/she the actual nomination. Ed Lawler

I think Huckabee's analogy in this is absolutely right; though it may pain Democrats to have to endure this race for a few more weeks, it is in the spirit of a fair and open election that the primary contest run to its completion.

Well, duh…. look what you did?

The only credit Hillary has is that she and Bill are about to destroy the Democratic Party. What a good LEGACY!

Why did Huckabee stay in the race when he no longer had a chance?
- To get more material for the book he's going to write about his campaign.

Why is Hillary staying in the race when she no longer has a chance?
- To get more material for the book she's going to write about her campaign.

With Huckabee and the dems that say they will not vote for Obama on McCain's side….how can he loose?

OBAMA 08

I agree (for once) with Huckabee…..if ti was Obama fighting to the end, he'd get endless and constant praise from the media…..sexism is alive and well in the US, but that is acceptable…criticize Obama and you're a racist, criticize Clinton, well, that's OK, she's a witch with a capital "B"….Happy Mother's Day

Oh, and when a baseball game enters the bottom of the 9th and the team behind in points has had their last at-bat, they end the game, no?

WHO ASKED YOU?

GOOD BYE HILLARY…PLEASE JOIN HUCKABEE IN THE WAITING ROOM MARKED 2012.

Helen

Since when has Hillary played by DNC rules? She makes up new nomination rules every day.

This alone should show why Hillary SHOULD drop out. Mike Huckabee thinks it's a good idea to stay in…

Clearly, Clintons have demonstrated they can afford to finance their campaign for a couple more months. God bless them.

Note: Hillary has changed her definition of ‘rich people’ Now, they are ‘billionaires’. I like that.

Mrs. Clinton will win the general election. Mr. Obama will not.

The race is technically over, and who cares if she stills want to remain.

A CNN ticker on a Huckabee and Hillary comparison. It's over.
Maybe she sholud do a SNL skit mocking herself staying in the race like Huck did.

sure…we all respect Huckabee because he was a respectable candidate and did not act divisively or antagoniztically…he discussed issue difference with candor and protocol….Unfortunately, Clinton has chosed to act otherwise…she is an intelligent candidate who has served the public for many years but her campaign choices are not healthy for neither her party, nor the electoral process of the country.

another very bad sign for Hillary. i love Huckabee, but he simply overstayed his welcome in that race.

Of course She should stay in. The republicans would love to see this fight go on till November….if not the next presidential election in 2012. After all Jon McCain will find it easier to run when nobody is attacking him.

Hillary's not quitting and neither are her supporters including post any Obama nomination. Fifty percent of the party has absolutely zero confidence in him and just because the Democratic leadership used a Willy Wonka approach with a caucus structure with a thousand different rules and disenfranchised millions of voters will NOT equate to "unity". That is long past.

Shut up Huckabee I know you republicans want this contest to go on so your candidate will get stronger while the democrats fight for nomination. It ain't going to happen.

I thought this guy had disappeared. Does anyone care what this cornpone thinks?

It's over. Hillary needs to find a way to pay her debts and leave while she still has a small thread of dignity.

Huckabee talks like a real leader. The coward Press is like a WEAK dog hiding in thye corner and coming out once in a while and bark a lot unnecessarily.

We all know:

Hillary may not WIN the nomination, and Obama will NEVER get elected in Nov.

So what's the rush anyway??

She's staying in the race so her campaign can continue to collect any donations it can, in order to pay back its biggest creditor – HRC – to the tune of $11 million.

She drops out now, that money is gone forever.

‘Gosh, she out to drop out,’

I think you meant..

'Gosh, she ought to drop out'

Hillary is Democrat or Republican ?

Huckleberryhoundbe got drugs from Limbaugh and got skinny.

hillary is still in this seat FL and MI. huckabee is correct, hillary is the better candidate. she is tough! keep going hillary, it's not over yet.

Good for you, Mike Huckabee! I would never have voted for you, still won't, but I admire the respect you give to Hillary. Truly refreshing!

Of course the Republicans are going to egg Clinton on. If she drops out they lose the free ride they are enjoying and the bleeding in the Democratic party stops. If they can keep this sham going then it just hurts the Democrats thus helping the Republicans in November.

She can stay in the race as long as she wants. She just needs to leave the "kitchen sink" at home.

Hillary has shown that she is a fighter. She should now use some of
her spunk to go after John McCain. It is now time for her to stop
fighting for herself, and start helping Senator Obama fight for her
fellow democrats. Democrats, one and all!

Yes We Can.
Democrats 08.

So I guess Hillary Clinton is the Mike Huckabee of the Democratic Party then? Great. I was hoping we'd find another Huckabee somewhere.

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.

By the way, how do you loan yourself for what you are running for? I don't loan myself student loan in the process of getting my degree! I can never understand the logic behind it. How are you getting the loan back? From other donors?

Just got a lot more respect for Huckabee, to bad he's out of the race He would be an Awesome president

Sounds like advice from one loser to another….

This would have played out differently if ALL of the votes counted.

Obama is winning the primary by default.

Clinton has won 10 of the Battleground States to Obama's 7. (That is 30% more than Obama for you math fans….)

Clinton has won ALL of the states needed to win in the General Election.

If you just look at the Electoral math…Clinton has won.

Of course Republicans will want Obama as the nominee. He is the WEAKER candidate. His liberal voting record, his stance on abortion, will lose the General Election.

History shows this type of tight bid for the White House Results in Republicans retaining office with only ONE exception….JFK and LBJ.

JFK surprised the delegates by choosing LBJ….why? Kennedy actually wanted to win the election! He knew he could NOT carry the South without LBJ. However, Obama and his supporters only seem to want to win the Primary…and NOT the General election.

Still…if Clinton can sweep W. Virginia, Kentucky and eek out a victory in Oregon….it is quite possible that Puerto Rico might decide the next Presidential Nominee. So the call for Clinton to quit, is a premature call…but it is Obama's campaign strategy…see it for what it is.

She will not drop out of this thing until somebody will pay her the 11.4 million dollars that she loaned it to her own campaign or she gets the nomination! Why doesn't she spend this money somewhere for a good cause. For example, getting a free clinic established and that's how you set yourself up for the presidential bid.

Stop wasting your money for some meaningless activities. Do some common goods for the people as wealthy as Senator Clinton is!

Huckabee is a real loser.
I wish MCSame choses him as his VP so we'll have 2 losers running on the same ticket.

Finally someone who actually knows what he's talking about, and not a political pundit!

McCain/Huck 08′

Hillary has every right to stay in the race. She has to quit on her own
time line. She just needs time to heal herself from the grueling race.
In the mean time ALL democrats should unite behind the inevitable
winner and help us help ourselves. The focus now is on stopping
John McCain.

All I can guess is that this quotation from the second paragraph, "‘Gosh, she out to drop out,’" should say "Gosh, she ought to drop out."

You are right on Huck!! Stay in all the way to the convention Hillary!!

Your supporters are behind you 100%.

Never did like fair weather friends like McGovern!!!

GO Hillary!!

Who cares what this REPUBLICAN has to say. Of course he would want her to say in the race…to support his REPUBLICAN friend hillary and to further divide the party

The Huckster's right; Hillary has every right to play until Obama has the delegates locked up–which means she can go up until the convention if she wants. But she's trying to CHANGE the rules that she agreed to play with–that is, that Michigan and Florida get no delegates because they, themselves, broke the rules. Therein lies the difference.

You are very correct Mr Huckabee. She should stay and fight till the end. Unfortuantely, you are contradicting yrself. Hillary is not playing by the rules set by the party. She is playing by the rules she's setting for the party.
The party rule is that Florida and Michigan don't count because of what we already know. Clinton accepted the punishment that the DNC meted on these two states. Now she wants to change the rules. Is that fair Mr Huckebee?

I am an Obama supporter, and I would like to see Hillary drop out, but Mike Huckabee is a good guy…

Oh, but only if she was playing by the rules. If this was a horse race, she'd want to lenghten the race, claim certain horses don't matter, and that some jockeys were too small to race.

I think the superdelegates should wait to endorse out of respect for Hillary and the millions of voters that voted for her.

Let the historic race continue to the finish line and let everyone have their chance to vote for the first female or first biracial presidential candidate. It is proabably one of the best ways to unite the party. If cut short, it will cause greater bitter discord.
No matter what happens. The fact that Hillary has stayed in meant that in every competition, they have been able to register more democrats and add more numbers than any time in history. If this was not done, it would have been tougher in the fall.

Huckabee and Hillary both forget that their opponent is on the same team so you can't compare or play this game like a game against an opponent from another team.

Thank you, Mike. Finally, a voice of reason and decency!

You were in it for your party, and weree a better candidate. Hillary stays because she has a lust for power, not because she believes in the American people

Way to go Mike Huckabee. I am with you 100%. Hillary Clinton should not quit until all the primaries are done. Then we will see who the nominee truly is. I still believe that Senator Clinton could win the nomination. She is not a quitter. Keep fighting Senator Clinton. We still love and support you. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

shut up loser

I don't think he said "I got to give her credit." He proabbly said "I've got to giver her credit."

Sometimes while transcribing comments, one must look past phonetics and capture the intent.

…well said Huckabbe, you understand the dynamics…

Who knows, maybe a serious scandal will erupt within a couple of days and tank Obamas momentum.

He does have a lot of skeletons in his closet I'm sure, we are just waiting for someone to open the door.

Go Hillary!!!!

The Republicans want a weak and divided Democratic Party. It makes their chances in November better.

Let's end this and unite under one candidate. Or we will spend another four years under bush-like leadership.

"She's playing be the rules the party set…"
…well unless you count FA and MI, lol.

Did you see the NBA playoffs last night? One team had a big lead towards the end and they added an extra two minutes to the 4th quarter to see if it would get closer.
…oh wait a minute, that didn't happen. That would have been ridiculous.

At least Huckabee went on to discuss how he and McCain were different on policies – Huckabee talked about the Fair Tax Plan. All Hillary is doing is talking about how she is a fighter.

Why doesn't Huckabee and Clinton join forces and become a third party called the Loser's Club.

As an Obama supporter, I don't think Hillary should be asked to quit.

She is in a race for the nomination. When her funds are not there and she also comes to the realization that the math is not there, then it will be Hillary's decision to make to concede. I am sure it will be a gracious one.
