It will be over by March 20. There really is no need to say she has a chance. In competitive sports, once a team has clinched their division because there are not enough games left to play that would put in other team in front of them, they call them the division winners. There are more games left, but mathematically they cannot lose. That is what we have here. This was a seven game series. Obama has already won 4-2. At this point, the 7th game does not matter. All you need to win is 4. It's over hillary clinton. I think you know that, but you still want him to lose to McCain for your own selfish reasons. Like running again in '12. If you really cared about us as much as you say, you would not deny us the healthcare we all need so badly and jobs and to bring our troops home for at least 4 more year just so you can have a chance to fulfill a personal goal of your own.

To all Hillary supporters,
If you don't vote for Obama it is ok with us. You will be you shooting yourself in the foot come November and then see what McSame will do for you if he wins. Obama played by the rules and is not trying to change the rules of the game while in the middle of it. Where was Hillary's cry for FL and MI when the DNC first ruled against them?
The truth of the matter is that your are letting your racist feelings toward Obama get in the way of rational thinking. So, you are free to vote for McBush McSame if you want as a matter of fact I earned my DD214 fighting for your right to do that. I will make it and maybe in the process suffer too but it will not be because I put the gun to my own head but you in your case might as well put your shoe on backwards and bend your knee as far as you can and as many times as you can if you vote for McSame. America true colors will be expose this year and it will show that the spots are still there.
So go ahead and make our day because in the end Obama his wife and their children will still be better off than most of you hate filled racist. As they say, only the UNeducated whites vote for Hillary and many of you will do the same for McSame. You could have went to Harvard just like Obama did but you didn't so what does that make you? They tell you every day that the weak and the uneducated Whites vote for Hillary and by saying that you are going to vote for McSame if Hillary doesn't proves them right.

I was so offended by Hillary Clintons comment about getting "hard working people, white people" to vote for her. I'm African-American and I actually voted for her to become my Senator in NY. However, I voted for OBAMA in the primary because he has the best chance to win the election in the fall and put this nation back on the right track. I'm not white, but I AM HARD WORKING - put myself through undergrad and graduate school (twice) - so Clinton needs to stop her divisive rhetoric and get with the program. OBAMA WILL BE AMERICA'S NEXT PRESIDENT. Let's rally together democrats, independents, and Obamacans alike, to make America whole again. NO MORE BUSH and no way to MacSame - OBAMA 2008

Why don't you just endorse Obama?

John, it's not hillary but the DNC and our party leadership that did themselves in. Unity was 'stolen' long before Hillary made the contest interesting?

Finally, there's the stubborn little fact that Clinton completely opposed recognizing Michigan and Florida until after the primaries–i.e., when she realized she might need their delegates to win the nomination. "It's clear that this election they're having [in Michigan] is not going to count for anything," she said during an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio in October 2007. She wasn't alone. Two months earlier, Clinton adviser Harold Ickes actually voted to strip the rogue states of their delegates as a member of the DNC's Rules and Bylaws committee–"to prevent the gaming of the system," he said. Later than fall, Patti Solis Doyle, then Clinton's campaign manager, pledged not to compete in either contest–and was unequivocal as well. "We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process… and the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role," she said. "Thus, we will… adhere to the DNC-approved nominating calendar." And when Michigan pushed for an early vote in 2004, then-DNC chairman–and current Clinton aide–Terry McAuliffe put his foot down. "If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," McAuliffe said (at least according to his memoir)."The closest [Michigan's delegates will] get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules." But when Clinton "won" Michigan on Jan. 15–and presumably caught a glimpse of the polling that showed her well ahead in Florida–she quickly changed her tune. "I believe our nominee will need the enthusiastic support of Democrats in these states to win the general election," she said on Jan. 25. "And so I will ask my Democratic convention delegates to support seating the delegations from Florida and Michigan." Ickes, Solis Doyle and McAuliffe immediately fell in line.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!!!

DO YOU WANT ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH UNDER MCCAIN?

OVERTURNING OF ROE V. WADE? (WOMEN DO YOU APPRECITAE 72 YEAR OLD SENILE MCCAIN TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO CHOSE?)

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you John Edwards…for telling the truth that OBAMA will win…

I see Edwards making a great FEMA Director so there wont be no more Hurricane Katrina messups, so we will be sure that those in need will get help

Hillary should run as an independent!

John Edwards should practice what he preaches! If he is concerned for the party, then he should endorse Obama!

Get a spine Johnny and endorse someone. He is acting the way the folks down here in NC knew of him. He waffles and tries to have it both ways. He did a 360* from when he ran as a Senator to his present Prez run. He wants a job with HRC or Obama. Likely he wants the AG job.

Saw the video clip .. from the subliminal messages i believe he voted for Clinton .. and as he said he will endorse who he voted for …

But then again … he could have voted for Obama … looking at the video clip … he was trying to send a subliminal message to Clinton …. he expressed she is tough and is genuine … but he was really proclaiming to Hilary he was sorry IMO … for voting for Obama and will endorse him …

I believe Mrs Edwards & Mr Edwards voted for two different candidates …

a vote for McSame = rolling back Roe vs. Wade. All the Hillary backers chew on that.

Dear John, I have been a supporter of yours since 2004 and have always thought you should have topped the ticket back then. John, my allegence has changed sorry to say and know Obama is my man. I just wish that you could have been man enough to step forward and endorse him so as to help put a stop to Hilary's madness.

I wish Edwards was the nominee last time.

He would have won.

He will back Obama, it is just a matter of time. Obama will be the next President of the United States. He is the future and McCain is a reflection of the past ! We need change bad in Washington.

Edwards wants a cabinet position and until Hillary is completey dead he doesn't want to take any chances that might piss her off. If by some miracle she steals this election there will be vengeance to pay for anyone who didn't side with her. There political careers would be over if she becomes president. Edwards knows this and is afraid to make a move until he knows Hillary is dead and buried.

He has not chosen a canadate yet, because I don't think he

really likes either one.

We've BEEN trying to tell her that John but she's too emotionally attached to the "idea" of being president. She has to understand that if she steals the nomination the dem's will surely lose in November due to the uproar it would cause within the party.

I know John Edwards really does not want to do the VP thing again but I sure would like to see him on the ticket. That would sure put that "white men" only supporting Clinton to rest real fast.

Not making the left turn he wants. His path has already divided the party and his nomination and landslide loss will destroy it. Then maybe we can form a third party of moderates from both parties and the radical racists and educated elite with no intelligence or common sense can have their Dem Party, because its no longer mine and I will vote AGAINST this racist liar and his supporters because I believe their damage will be much worse than what the Republicans can inflict for another 2-6 years. I hope they take the House and Senate as well as slamming this racist down.

i hate to say it but john edwards is a coward. his unwillingness to endorse either candidate is spineless. i am fast losing respect for you edwards.

I watched the interview…Edwards said that he might still endorse….but based on what he said it seemed like he is waiting for the last few contests to take place….I think we will hear from him after June 3rd….

With the hypocracy that Obama has shown I (and the many people in my circle) cannot vote for him… We would sooner vote for McCain than risk having someone ashamed of America in the whitehouse.

I am supporting Obama in November and I supported Hillary. Mu mother, grandmother, aunt and friends- everybody is supporting Obama. "Hillary supporters will not support Obama" is just a media hype to make Hillary looks bad.

We are Democrats and we will support whoever is the nominee

pls treat Hillary fairly and with dignity

This is one Dem that will be voting for Mccain & I know a lot more that will never vote for Obama, we dont need another George Bush & that is what Obama is.

Forgive me but is anyone else as disappointed with Edwards as I am. He appears spine less in my eyes now. And I really didn't want to feel this way towards him.

Edwards for VP!

Obama 08!

Hillary is done. And even more since she is making this a race issue. Whites vote for her and Blacks for Obama. She gets the catholic votes, come on. I am a senior citizen, catholic and white and have been for Obama from the start. it's over Hillary, you are making a fool of yourself. She don't know when to quit, sure glad she won't be answering the phone at 3am. people like her is what keeps this country divided. Race should not be an issue in campaigns anymore. She is dividing the races as well as the party.

I completely agree with Edwards. Let her keep campaigning, but stick to her platform. It is time to stop the negative, focus on the positive, make her pitch, and hope for the best. Negative will only hurt her in the long run as it will only cause more damage to the Clinton name and reputation.

Come on John quit beating around the bush and help put an end to this mess that Hillary is causing.

We're talking "Village Math"! 2 + 2 = 5

Who cares about fuzzy things like delegate counts anyway - I deserve to be President because my last name is "Clinton."

All my white, "uneducated" supporters get it, why can't the rest of you get it?

Edwards needs to get over himself; his political jockeying is pathetic. I respected his pushing of Katrina and other poverty issues, trying to keep Hillary and Obama honest, but now it appears that was just an angle.

Thank you, John, for finally stating the obvious.

Listen up , Hillary!

Oh brother why can't these people just shut up till the primaries are over. Edwards you were my first pick for nominee but glad I found out what a weasel you really are. You would never get the Medical vote as you were the biggest ambulance chaser attorney out there.

Fence -sitters seams to know the game much better than the players!
Nganga, Austin TX

After the egghead comment on CNN by one of her surrogates/or supporter. Hillary lost me for good. If Edwards is serious about backing Obama he would have done it along time ago. It's gotten to the point where is endorsement won't mean nothing. Obama won Carolina with it.

I think john is right, I too think its time to ask Ms.Clinton to stop her race and start pulling this party back together, we just cant afford another Bush term….

Ummm I'm a Latino Attorney and my vote is foooor HILLARY! I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THAT FAKE OBAMA.

He will not win the election. And whoever is talking about how can we vote for McSame blah blah, well that may or may not be, because we also have third party candidates, and we can do and cast our vote for who we want, that s democracy, lol soooo. yeah.

OBAMA IS TOAST IN THE GE.

Saying at least that is better than saying nothing at all. Thanks…..it is getting close to the end for the selection process and every little bit helps.

GO OBAMA

Obama is arrogant and full of himself. Has anyone really listened to his speeches, I mean really listened - he says absolutely NOTHING!
No solutions to any of the problems that face us.
How does he think he can fix the problems of Bush presidency when he has not done anything in his political career?
Would you hire an inexperienced CEO for your business??
Why would you hire BO for the most difficult job in the world??

People are behaving like rock star followers - how pathetic.

Mr. Edwards:

Are you suggesting that you're not going to support Hillary? Well, bust my buttons!

Pride always comes before the fall….Take heed Hill!

EDWARDS: ENDORSE, PLEASE. LET'S MOVE ON.

Hey jay nyc - I'm white and hard working and it offends me too. Let's have "a better America" without all the divisive remarks from politicians.

I am an avid Obama supporter, however I do believe Hillary is entitled to get her $11 millions worth before she chooses to drop out.However if she starts crying or Bill breaks out the sax ,hopefully the superdelegates will save us the pain & immediately intervene.

There seems to be some other mis-speaking besides the one that Hillary made. I keep hearing that whites will not vote for Obama, but when I see his rallys, ninety percent of the crowd seems to be white. Are they saying that young white people do not count as being white?

Edwards, just make an endorsment. Don't wait for too long because your endorsment may not matter at all, and you might lose your shot at VP.

Thank you , John, for being a voice of reason and knowing your math. Please dial up the Clinton household and leave a message so a return call to reality can be placed.

Its all over..Obama has it..Hilary keep ur energy and run another time..

Hillary it sad that you are destroying the demoncrate party, when John give his endorsement to Obama I think Hillary should give up soon

Obama 08

Hillary,
You are brilliant and exceptional. But please let this one go. We want something different this time. Let Obama give us the change he promises. otherwise, we will always wonder "What if". You can still contribute to this nation. God bless you, God bless Obama. God bless America.

virginialiving,

It was Hillary to she signed the Memo. She also wrote a letter stating the all states needed to abide by the calender set by the DNC. However this was all before Super Tuesday.

I like John Edwards… but he has now made himself irrelavant by not endorsing earlier. His time has come and gone. But I still like him.

to NoMcSame

Thank you. I don't think anyone could of said that any better.

CNN PLEASE POST

Come on Edwards! Endorse Obama already!!! Give him your delegates and help this be over sooner than later. I was your biggest fan and like many other Edwards supporters have gone to Obama because he carries your message. Let's do this together!!

Obama/Edwards 08

Sen. Obama won N.C. by a landslide. John Edwards is a wimp.

is this American Idol or the presidential election? At least most Idol participants have experience prior to the show…unlike Obama…

Do not give up. Do not quit. I will not vote for Obama.

Keep on fighting, Hillary. This is a dream come true for the GOP!

just pick the smarter, nicer, more ready, person….obama.

obama 08

The math? If Obama is the Dem nominee, McCain wins by a landslide. Just the opposite happens with Clinton as the nominee.
Which formula do the Dems wish? John, you should have listened to your wife.

Endorse someone already!!!!

Obama 08

If Edwards would have been atop of the ticket in 2004, they would have won. I really think that if Obama were to choose Edwards (if he is willing) to run as his VP….the world would be a much better place.

OBAMA 08….and beyond

Edwards if the DNC held primaries like the GOP does and the general election Hillary would have already won.

The fact is that Obama is the nominee he will not beat McCain. If you use recent history as a prime example it proves it. Kerry in 2004 could not beat Bush of all people and you Edwards was included in that. Kerry a war hero could not beat AWOL failed president Bush.

Now Obama a non military person with anti-America friends all around him is going to beat a war hero like McCain?

And Obama cant even win the critical swing states that Hillary has.

Wake up to reality. The DNC is going to back the wrong horse this time and lose again.

don't be afraid Edwards, the wife won't bite you, don't k let her influence you, i now you love her, but come on.. a man must speak for himself.

Obama is the nominee.

Hillary can do no more damage… she has lost her power.

Obama will win regardless of how many Hillary supporters flock to McCain. Obama is gaining new voters and republicans left and right. He doesn't need the disloyal Hillary supporters.

Edwards… I understand why you wont endorse… You don't want to endorse the candidate who will not win. As soon as it is crystal clear who will win, you will endorse him (Obama). (Cluck Cluck… Chicken…

Go Obama!

Sen Edwards, it is time for you to endorse a candidate. Please don't play this cat and mouse game. Remember, Americans want change, honesty and integrity.
Endorse your candidate now! Obama 08

Honestly, Obama does not need the endorsement from John Edward anymore. He's waited too long so he can just keep it to himself.

Hillary is a deeply divisive candidate. I am white but I was deeply offended by her comments that she represents hard working "whites." So nobody else is hard working? I am also not a fan of Al Sharpton..be he is right..Hillary is like an entertainer who doesn't know when the show is over and it's time to exit stage left.

I really believe she will suffer from severe depression after this. She truly doesn't know how to handle defeat. She is already trying to destroy the party..ensure McCain wins and she will be back in 2012. No kidding..look at her record of lies..She is like Lady MacBeth.

I'm having a pantsuit auction to raise funds for Hillary's campaign. This race is NOT over until all pantsuits are sold. stop the support for Obama, no Bama in white house, no no no.

"they tried to make me vote Obama, i said NO NO Nooooo"

Is this all about "women" OR about the ego of Hillary to admit defeat? I rest my case!

It only works if you use Hillary's math. Which considers "ifs" like "if we used a system like the GOP, Hillary would be the winner, " or "if we only counted the big states" or " if there were no caucuses."

Please do not endorse him after Hillary is gone……

John Edwards never had any intention of backing Hillary. He's another one. John Edwards is like every other backstabber - he's looking for a job. I so hope the remaining superdeligates get a spine and vote for who can beat John Mccain and not just a person who "inspires" everyone. Inspiration gets nothing done. Hope doesn't get anything done - Obama cannot win. I vote Mccain if Hillary doesn't get a fair shake.

Now I understand why Edwards never made it in elections and could not carry NC for Kerry!.

He cannot decide anything. How can he be wavering at this time when the party needs unity and he needs to set strong leadership to get behind the nominee President Barack

yes we all know it is tough!

but is it impossible???

you never know what would be until you try…so the race must go on!

so Obama reaches the number 2025 then the race is over…it will be a sweet victory for him and a GRACEFUL loss for her. You don't quit midway.

Go HILLARY! ALL THE WAY. I am will you all the way.

I REALLY REALLY hate how Obama and his supporters TWIST Clinton's words for their OWN benefit, throw down the RACE card at EVERY single Clinton supporter that would choose McCain.

For some of us, experience REALLY does matter. If Powell were running for President, I would vote for HIM over Obama. If the Mayor of Philly were running, I would vote for HIM over Obama.

You just don't get it….while you have literally CRUCIFIED Clinton during this entire campaign….calling HER a racist is beyond forgiveness! Especially when she has devoted HER ENTIRE life to helping the poor, the uninsured, the folks that could not afford legal help, and yes, minorities in America.

I would love to see Clinton go Independant. Obama supporters have done NOTHING to help bridge the divide…neither has Obama. Why on earth should we have ANY LOYALTY to a party that discounted 2.5 million voters, called us racists, and every other name in the book, simply because we picked Clinton over Obama?

They tried to make me vote Obama but i said no no no.

13, 089 pantsuits remaining, come get yours before they're all gone.

2025 is the magic number.No bobody has it yet.She has the right to continue . Who made the rules need to solve the problem. All states should participate in the selection.

West Virginia and Kentucky is having their primaries next week. Why have we NOT heard about the GAS TAX being suspended for the summer by Hillary for these people?

If it was such a great idea and on the up and up by Hillary, for the pople of Indiana and NC, then surely the people of KY and WV needs this great savings too.

See, Hillary is a panderer and since it didn't work in IN and NC, she has abandoned it.

It was never a real or valid idea in the first place.

Get Real Folks, its time to get behind the Democratic party before McCain change the Supreme Court in a awful way that we ALL will be living though for the next 25-20 years.

As a Clinton supporter, I think that Hillary Clinton's goal is to destroy the party. Sad to say but appears to be the truth.

Where are the polls? Where are the Polls? wait…….wait……Nope. Where are the Polls/

"Saw the video clip .. from the subliminal messages i believe he voted for Clinton .. and as he said he will endorse who he voted for …"

Try again, he accidentally said "I just voted for him on Tuesday…" Now, you may think Hillary has "testicular fortitude", but as far as I know she is still referred to as "her" not "him".

Edwards is with Jimmy Carter - voting for Obama, but not going to declare it. Fortunately, we don't need his declaration, just his vote

Your endorment does not matter anymore you took too long to endorse. It does not take a rocket sciencist to know which candidate is good for this country. We all know its Obama because he wants to change Washingon and does not want to use the old tactics that Washington has been using, I know you can relate to that. Obama won you state by 14% points and you still have not endorsed. You can keep those 39 delegates because they are of no use to anybody now.

Breaking news….Hillary got momentum in WV…. Go Billary, go

Dosen't Hillary strike you like a kid who got caught doing something wrong and is constantly changing her story to excuse herself.

Edwards I'm about sick of you. Make a choice. Seems to me that you have been stalling all of this time to see who was going to win so you can hop on that wagon. Hillary offends me every time she opens her mouth and even tho I am an Obamacan, I would most definitely vote (not for Hillary) but AGAINST McSame.

I agree with "NoMsSame" that some people will let their racist ways prevent them from doing what's right for this damaged country. It's got to stop and if Hillary was the one to do it, she would be winning. Can we move on please?

Insane McCain,"I was against the tax cuts for the rich before Georgie slapped me around in 2000 and said those nasty things about me but now ive seen the light,thanks to reverend Hagee.

There's only one thing I have to say to Hillary Clinton:
"Number One Observatory Circle"
(get used to the idea)

Obama for President and Edwards as VP! What more could we ask for? It would be a great combination. Edwards is a smart, creative individual and he knows the way to the White House is Obama.

Dear John,

You're not likely to be the V.P. nominee this time. Might as well endorse now.

The Breck-girl is a loser as well. He builds an incredible mansion while he fights for the 'little people'. If Hillary wants to continue running then let her. She has a chance at votes like anyone else and who knows what may pop up next about Hussein Obama. Obviously, neither one of them is qualified to become Preident and the election of either will probably lead us down a path to major job loss, manufacturing loss, and depression. But, I'm sure 'change' will be abundant and we'll see the goverment taking more from the so-called 'rich' to give to the 'needy'. What happened to "..but what you can do for your country"?

To All Democrats:
I was always for Obama, but if Hillary was the one that was winning, I WOULD have voted for her because we need ABSOLUTELY NEED to have a Democrat in the White House. Obama and Clinton really arent that much different in their policies…virtually the same, but McCain on the other hand is a 3rd term for Bush. Look what the last 7 years have brought this nation. This party needs to rally together, no matter who is the democratic nominee to take control of the country again. We just have to, or we are not only facing a recession, but a major depression.
Obama '08

to NoMcSame May 9th, 2008 10:49 am ET

This is one of the many reasons why I will never vote for Obama. You turn things into a matter of race when it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with experience and judgement. If Hillary does not win because peoples votes in Michigan and Florida were not counted then I would rather have McCain than Obama. McCain will not be another Bush. He has gone across party lines to get things done more often than Hillary and far more often than Obama. Obama has earned the title of the most liberal senator last year. His record shows that he has very little instances of working across party lines, the same as John Kerry in 2004. When you look at America's views as a line, Obama is to the far left, Hillary is to the left yet has moved towards the middle more often if it was the right thing to do for America, and John McCain is on the right, yet has moved towards the left at times. I believe McCain has far more experience and better judgement than Obama. Stop turning it into a matter of race. You show your true lack of understanding.

He hasn't endorsed because he likes Obama and his wife likes Hillary.

where are all the Superdelagets, they have no balls in sticking with their candidate…. Losing faith in them– again.

two things against Hillary:
1) she is not black
2) she is a woman (which is ALWAYS bad)

America is going to make a big mistake if Obama becomes the nominee for November's election. If he wins and becomes the president, America will not only be in a big chaos financially, but also will put the US of A in a big shamble for religion. No..not amongst Christians but Christians against other major religion. Besides, Obama is just a hype, and Americans tend to always ride on the HYPE. Think twice people, America is in big mess and all you need is someone who can save it from a deeper distress. Iam not endorsing any of the other 2 candidates, but in November, I will vote not for the hype, but for the truth. Truth will set America free again from it's present situation.

Right on John. I was your supporter before you dropped out of the race and then decided to join Obama as the second choice. However I was disappointed in your not supporting Obama.

If Hillary had not gone negative, this contest would have brought the best in Obama and prepared him well to face McCain. However all she has done is to damage Obama to make him unelectable against McCain so she can be elected in 2012.

Edward's the Man who should be our next president,

I voted for Hill in our states Fed 12 primary. I Knew, even-before the PA, primary, by crunching the numbers Hill would need at least 60% across the board, and for all other remaining primaries to win the nomination.

Only the GOP controlled press has kept her alive. And all those pretending they would vote only for Hill and not Obama in Nov, are really Republicans, who will vote for 4 more years of McBush

Hey folks there is not a tax Obama does not like - remember that. He wants the UN to tax Americans 845 Million for CO2; it's his bill.
Here in Mn we put in Democrats as we were upset w/Republicans and now everyone is crying about all the new taxes this 2008 session - it's almost heartless. Hey, we get to subsidize a Baseball Stadium too @ one half percent (beyond 42 cents higher gas tax here along wfive other tax raises) - how nice we are honored to help a rich billionaire who has more money then he could spend in 20 lifetimes.

Unforuntately the Repoublicans are obscene too in their greed - so no good choice these days.
Janet J
Minneapolis, Mn

FL, you screwed your own voting process in 2000 and gave us:

8 years of Bush

The IRAQ war

$4 gas

loss of social security in 2040

A national debt that would cost each American over $30,000 to pay off

Please don't do it again, you screwed up your own voting process again in 2008 and you can only blame yourself.

Is it too late to give FL back to Spain???

Yes, it's about over.

What I don't understand is how can she seriously believe she has truly won MI and FL, when Hillary and Obama their delegate would not be included since they broke the rules?

How can she change the rules to suit her needs? How would she react if the shoe was on the other foot? Also, it they did have both names on the ballet in Florida, but not in Michigan, how could she say she won Michigan?

Please, I am beggin anyone…explain that to me!

Hey, Mike Jones - women need to use birth control or keep their legs shut and we wouldn't need "Roe Vs. Wade". Woman need to take responsibility for their own actions. Get real - I vote Mccain and don't give a crap about Roe or Wade!

When Obama becomes the nominee and the Democrats lose in November it will NOT be Clinton's fault. The Democrats will have, once again, chosen an unelectable candidate. Obama is nothing but smoke and mirrors with no substance and no experience. Also, Hillary is 100% correct when she says she has the white vote. This is a fact whether you like it or not. McCain will win in November and the Democratic party will be history.

Is afraid to back Obama because he knows he won't win a General Election and knows that when Hillary tries again in '12 he will be her running mate. too funny.

Obama can't win as majority of three groups will not vote for him at all - they know !
Joyce

Hillary supporters will prevent Obama from taking the office. I hope she does not accept the VP, if offered, so she has another chance to take the White House in '12.

Obama is not ready to lead this country and he does not have the support he needs to win the general election.

HILLARY THIS GEORGE, GEORGE W , FOOL ME ONCE YOU CAN'T FOOL ME AGAIN SO LEAVE BECAUSE (YES OBAMA IS IT OK UMM YES OBAMA CAN ) !!!!!!!!

WE HRC SUPPORTERS IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE.. WE WILL ELECT JOHN MCCAIN PRESIDENT, LOOK AT THE POLLS PEOPLE… OBAMA IS LOOSING TO MCCAIN IN THE STATES NEEDED TO WIN!!!!!

John Edwards and Hillary Clinton would have made an outstanding ticket in either of the top two positions. And then… Obama is the one that has caused the divisiveness in the Democractic Party. The Party
and the people will get what they deserve just like in 2000 and 2004.

Hillary's attitude to this game is do or die. Hoping she does not burst a vein trying to do. A good loser is as good as good winner. Hill, lose honorably.

Can the press find all Senator Clintons old math teachers and have them tell her that her math is wrong and there's no way for her to catch up now? Maybe that will convince her to end her misery.

Yet another "educated" voter who will NOT cast mine for Obama under any circumstances. Hillary and John McCain are the two with the experience necessary to create the changes needed. Keep it up Hillary, until such time as SHE decides her campaign is over, and then go McCain - a REAL American hero.

Duh!

Edwards has lost his relevancy due to the lack of a backbone. He should have put forth his endorsement at least a month ago. I guess he has Clinton fever - how to self destruct.

Obama will get the democratic nomination but lose the general election. He is flawed just enough to lose some critical battleground states. Great job DNC.

Hello Im ann from the netherlands.
I m every day on the thicker,en follow the reactie's.
I m hoping that B.O will wins this election.
America id ready for Obama,
The world is ready for Obama.
go for it.
end for the stupid en jalouse people,A dem. is A dem,and not A rep.
if obama wins,he hat more fans than Hillary.
shame on you.
sorry for the language,i m 62 jears old and learnet no english.

Senator Edwards is a smart man…he knows the flood of superdelegates to Obama will come with or without his endorsement. Edwards isn't a superstar and he knows his endorsement won't carry that much weight.

Clinton supporters say they will not vote for Obama and he will lose to John McCain. Then Hillary comes back in 2012 and runs again. Guess all Obama supporters will stay home or vote for the republican. Do you know how stupid that is? Hillary will be 65 and what if a new younger person runs against her, what if he is white, oh my gosh what will she do then. Go ahead and vote for John McCain, grandpa needs your help and Hillary is toast Anyway!!!!Get over it!!!!!!

I believe more will come out within a month that will surprise all.

I am a Hillary supporter, and have to say that continually reading all the negative comments - on a daily basis - about her FROM THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS has put such a bad taste - in not only my mouth, but most all of her supporters . . .so much so, that I can guarantee I will NOT vote for him if is the nominee. Where's the respect?

Hillary voters vote for McCain she has been shafted. To super delegates who jumped ship on her you are cowards and gut-less.
Obama's campaign media driven free ride. Hillary you and still are the right choice for America

In 3-weeks - I guess we will all get that 3:00 AM phone call from Hillary that Obama won!!!

Go Obama! Kick Hillary to the curb! I'll never forget how nasty she and her staff was to you!!!

Do not quit Hillary, we believe in you and please don't disappoint us by withdrawing. If money's the problem, then we can solve it…..i've already started a pantsuit auction.

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08/12

CNN is pro Obama because their pundits, middle aged men and old men don't want a woman President.
I dont' care who becomes Pres as they all are all for self, but see CNN trying to push Obama - it will backfire within in the month.

Democrats the Republicans are getting nervous. The Democrats that are stating they will vote for McCain rather then another Democrat were not true Democrats in the first place.

@Adrina, I hope your law degree helps the thousands of illegal latinos that McCain is going to ship out of this country. So, you should be financially secure. LMAO

This guy has the FENCE so deep up his Arse he cannot get off of it. He has turned out to be just another self serving Politician. No wonder he couldn't even win his own state. They KNOW him.

She's only staying in so she can do as much harm to the democratic party as possible. Then when McCain gets elected because Hillary has done so much damage to the democratic party, she'll run again in 2012. It's all about her ego.

Keep Clinton in the race; her supporters are emotional and they must see this thing till the end. When she tells them that she is backing Obama 100%, all will go well. But let this woman finish the race!

Obama can't win as majority of three groups will not vote for him at all - they know !

"'it's very difficult to make the math work,' said Edwards."

I am voting Obama all the way and i am a 54year old white lady with no job and no health care. we need Obama for president.Hillary is wrong white american will vote for Obama. Hillary who sade are you on you sound like a Rep.

Sen. Edwards endorsement is not worth anything now. If he could not make up his mind before the North Carolina primary, then I do not care what he decides now.

Remember the saying, "If you do not stand for something, then you will fall for anything/" Well, he could not make a stand.

No to Sen. Edwards as VP. He is not strong enough to make a decision, therefore we do not need anyone that will just sit there holding a space.

Please endorse Obama and put an end to this.

CNN is predujiced because old men don't want a woman as President.
Chicago, IL

At this point, it really doesn't matter much whom Edwards endorses, or whether he endorses anyone. Most of the votes are in and the nomination all but in the bag. However, I do think less of Edwards for not having repudiated Sen. Clinton's statements about race in her interview with USA Today.

Edwards is afraid to make a commitment in case the SD over ride the American people. This isn't done people, Hillary and Bill know where "bodies" are buried and have let certain SD know that…..SD will over rule the people's vote….mark my word.

Obama keep on fighting for your right to run as President. I admire him for not backing down to the Clinton dinesty. Let's hope more people like Andrews and Richardson stand up on their own two feet and make the right choice. These men have guts to go against the Clintons…..

The people trashing John Edwards right now are morons. This man ran a fair, positive, and thoughtful campaign. He withdrew at the right time and has let the two remaining contestants win it or lose it on their own merits, the way it should be done. Grow up before you chase anymore people out of the Democratic Party.

From an Obama Supporter.

Edwards is simply stating a fact. What is wrong with all of you fanatic Hillary supports? Get a grip and realize that is over.

Hillary fought hard and dirty, but lost to a huge underdog. Give the man credit for winning while not fighting dirty and understand that they support the same issues and Mcain is the opposite.

Why would you want to pay more for health care and have more Iraq war????

Vote Democrat (even if it is Obama)!!!!

Edwards has not endorsed Obama because he at least has the sense to know what a disaster B.O. would be for our country. He wants Hillary who might be a shade better than B.O., but he is too much the ultimate politician to announce 'at this time'. Is Edwards leaving the Dem party, because his politics is not acceptable under the hope for change B.O. is preaching?

Three groups of people won't vote for Obama and it will be a landslide against him in Novmber if he's the candidate.

I think Edwards didn't want to pick Obama, for he know that Hillary has better chance to win on November.

Clinton Supporters,

Don’t let your emotions cloud your judgment. There is a natural progression for these things. It takes some time.

1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Bargaining
4) Acceptance

Obama & Edwards ….. WINNING COMBINATION!

Obama 08

Votes for Obama were counted TWICE in two counties in North Carolina.

Man Up Senator Edwards! Endorse the man that won your state and your own campaign people support. Help Hillary save her personal money and stop the further destruction of the party. OBAMA 08!

It's okay with me (an Obama supporter) for people like John Edwards to hold back. Maybe it's more democratic, to let primaries speak before party insiders weigh in.

Just a thought.
Hold your horse people. We needs the Edwards, Gores and the likes of the DEM Party to hold off and endorse without alienating Clinton to solidify the party unity.

I am a huge Obama suporter, and I beleive that he is the democratic party's best shot of getting into the White House. However, as this race continues, I am becoming more and more fearful that our party is being destroyed from the top down. I think it's pretty much inevitable that Obama will be our nominee, but given the damage that has already been done, if we want a seat in the White House, Obama needs to have a very strong VP canidate (that's not HRC). Please John Edwards, endorse Obama and team up with him!

Obama Edwards '08!

With the hypocracy that Obama has shown I (and the many people in my circle) cannot vote for him… We would sooner vote for McCain than risk having someone ashamed of America in the whitehouse.

HEY AZM In that Circle of yours………Would that involve any Burning Cross's??

John, many of us supported you while you were in the race! Do the right thing and endorse Obama and end this divisive and polarizing campaign that Hillary is waging! Step up!

Obama for President and Edwards as VP! What more could we ask for? It would be a great combination. Edwards is a smart, creative individual and he must know the way to the White House is Obama.

Who cares what he thinks anymore? He had his chance to endorse Obama and try to bring an end to this divisive process a long time ago. Instead, he just let it go on dividing the party because he wanted to be absolutely sure that he didn't endorse the wrong candidate and blow his chances at a slot in the administration. Richardson got it right.

John Edwards and the other supers can end this race if they indorse Obama and not wait on Hillary to get money and her act together.

The older white women backing Clinton now will vote Democrat in the fall. These are not stupid women. They know McCain's continuation of the war and Bush's tax cuts to protect the wealthy…like his wife…will keep this country in a recession. This is the dem's year.

Exactly why I didn't vote for him. Indecisive and two-faced.

Its fairly obvious that whatever Edwards is requesting (probably AG)neither Obama nor Hillary are willing to give/grant him………..isnt that the old Washington Political game that he spoke against when he was campaigning……guess words are easier than action………and he wonders why the American public find him untrustworthy and sent him home.

YOu want things better? Get rid of 95 percent of congress.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL AND FAIL AS A PARTYAND AS A PEOPLE. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, OUT OF MANY COLORS AND CREEDS ONE PEOPLE.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA???? I WILL SUPPORT WHOEVER WINS AND I AM BLACK, AFRICAN AMERICAN, BUT FIRST I AM AMERICAN. MY PEOPLE BUILT THIS COUNTRY ON THEIR BACKS.
I HAVE HEARD OF MANY INDIGNITIES DONE TO MY PEOPLE, BUT STILL WE RISE.

If not Hillary….then McCain!!!

Hillary supporters will become McCain Democrats!!!

Why are you deleting my comments…the movement is on CNN. You pick Obama will never win!!

Hillary backers will never vote for Obama!!!

If it is too difficult for Hillary to grasp simple math, she can ask Chelsea, who crunches numbers for a hedge fund company in NYC.

It's time for Hillary to take a bow and stop singing to nobody.
She is too smart to know the power of positive thoughts.
She only has herself to blame.
She can now debate with Bill all she wants, but we are not interested.

UMM John. The time where you had political power with your endorsment is past. It is easy to join the winning team AFTER the game is finished. Go away.

You flaked when Obama needed you so don't suck up now.

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

Quoted by Concern Democrats "Those democrats that feel the need to support McCain or not vote to express their anger/hate/revenge 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…"

LETS ALL UNITE & STOP THIS BITTERNESS ….!!!!

McCain's supporters should not do anything just to make Obama the nominee for democrats, thinking that their candidate would have a better chance of winning when going against Obama than Clinton This is not a good campaign trick because America will miss a good and better chance of having a president who can really do its backyard clean up. For the delegates, this is not hollywood, use ur prefences wisely. Don't go with fame, and sink the boat deeply. Don't deprive America it's right of electing for the right candidate in November.
For Hillary, I salute you for fighting against all these campaign odds. You'll be victorious, you'll see.

The abject remark yesterday by Clinton that "hard-working Americans, white Americans" are on her side made me angrier than I ever was about her. If this all she has to say at the end of this campaign, this is so pathetic that I certainly will remember, as a white woman, to vote against her when she runs again for office in New York.

I think he's setting himself up for VP. which wouldn't be a bad thing.

Dear God please save America from the dynasty curse of bushes and clintons…pls save us from these two families……no more bushes or clintons in the white house, we have a true democracy for a reason…..

CNN has been faithful in providing a space for people to voice their opinions. Unfortunately, it is not exempt from has-beens.

Obama - please answer HOW you will change each issue? HOw please?
You are a talker, and they scare me.

We don't want a Clinton-3rd Term, same reason that we don't want a Bush-3rd Term.
Obama is the ONE!

It's simply time for Hillary to step aside.

Going forward so negatively only speaks to her ego rather than whats good for the country. If she found a graceful way to step down sooner than later it would be a show of leadership as opposed to a huge personal ego. Please accept the situation and step aside Hillary…

Everyone sees the math is not there for her, but she does not. This woman, obviously bad at math, wants to run an economy in crisis.

Obama will be oblitrerated by the REPUBLICAN.

It will be interesting to see what happens if Edwards's 26 peldged delegates end up making the difference. If so, we could be seeing the VP candidate right here.

NO ONE can kill the gas tax. It takes legislation. Think, people.

All of you Republicans that keep posting as if you are a Democrat and saying you will vote for John McCain, we aren't falling for it! Throw out the old Rove rule book, the Republican party is toast…it thinks it can win in the 21st with 20th century tactics…STUPID.

Every individual ought to vote their conscience. Edwards has his.

What's wrong with Edwards???
Still not sure about barack to endorse him?? Come on..
He has said he voted for"him"
In the NC primary..
Go ahead endorse the winner!!

John Edwards is your typical brown-nosing lawyer. Will do and say whatever needs to be said and done, anytime, anywhere to get what he wants and to hell with everybody else. He and Obama are two of a kind. That is why I didn't vote for each of them. Hope Obama picks him for a V.P. and they can both be blamed for losing to McCain.

REPORT THE NEWS!!!! Obama's support in WV drops below Bush's approval rating to 23% in latest ARG poll.

In response to "NoMcSame"…
Shooting ourselves in the foot? Putting B.H. Obama in office is shooting ourselves in the foot… Bringing the party together? You sir are a perfect example of why the party is separated, it's called an egotistical attitude.

You just made me want to vote for McCain… Idiot..

We may be seeing the early stages of the development of a viable Independent Party. The Democrats have become a splintered group that connot come together. The Rebublicans have problems as well. These last two Bush Administrations have let people down. However, Republicans are still a fairly united, motivated group and will more than likely retain the White House– but I think the seeds are being sown and wouldn't be surprised to see many Democrats and Republicans alike to unite as Independents in 2012.

I agree with Darth Vadik.
That also means he likes his wife.
Pretty decent guy.

The writing has long been on the wall. Not only has Obama run a better campaign, he is clearly the better candidate to be the next president of the U.S. He will be the Democratic candidate in 2008 and the president of the U.S. in 2009. For the good of the party–and the country–Edwards should endorse him now. Allowing Senator Clinton to continue making a fool of herself and wreaking havoc on Democratic and democratic principles may jeopardize the much needed change in this country.

Perhaps if Edwards endorses Obama, Clinton would find a way to restore her dignity and bow out gracefully.

There is no "math" involved here. Neither candidate will have 2025 pledged delegates at the end of the primaries, so according to the insane system created by the democrats, the superdelegates decide who will be the nominee. If (as many democrats are saying) the superdelegates should vote based on who has the most pledged delegates, then why have superdelegates??

John Edwards endorsement of Obama could drive the point home to Clinton that she needs to get out of the race, sooner than later, and would be a wonder feather in his political legacy hat. At this point Clinton's running only serves to drive deep divisions in the party that will need time and her campaigning for Obama to mend. Does this mean she is defeated? By no stretch of the imagination. She has inspired and impressed men, women, and children around the world. However, that admiration that could serve to help her future endeavors could sour if she persists in these fruitless effort to win against impossible odds.

Almost laughable….Obama supporters call for Clinton to drop out of the race and UNITE the party.

But OBAMA is the one who started the PERSONAL Character ATTACKS on Clinton, which divided the PARTY!!!

Where is the great uniter now?

I hope that all the college students who have given up their status of being dependants by establishing a legal residence away from their parents home realize that if they continue to be carried by their parents insurance (both medical and auto) and receive certian financial aid are committing fraud. This is how the election was stolen by Obama since these are where he picked up the majority of his delegates.

A since fraud is an illegal act we will push hard to identify these students. So they better hope Obama wins the General Election so he can have something to do on day one. Pardon them.

Hillary is a racist and don't need to be President. I am offended by her remarks because that was not necessary. She should be told to play by the rules or get out.

c'mon edwards.what's the holdup?make your endorsement,before hillary says something racist or stupid,again.right now ,your endorsement still means something.by this time next week ,you may not matter,anymore.i would have voted for you,had obama not entered the race,and i would like to see you on the ticket this fall.but,if you can't make a decision,then maybe gov. richardson would be a good second choice.

Maybe Hillary is using "New Math" to count her delegates. There really doesn't seem to be any other explanation for her insistance that she can still win. It's really getting to be a sad thing when everybody else knows that she isn't going to pull it off but she doesn't.

I am a white educated woman who will not vote for Obama! If he is elected President I do not want to have to take a seat in the back of the bus!!!!!!!!! I will vote for McCain !

John please, help Hillary we want you and her to be in the White House. Obama is HORRABLE.

He doesn't need the endorsement, but it would be good. He would also help as a VP.

WOW, at least he gets it–don't make your opponent look bad to make yourself look good. that's simple common decency. but, it does happen all the time–at work–and other places. People can't seem to make themselves look good unless they make others look bad. She is definitely hurting his chances to win in november but i seriously believe that is what she wants to do. If the superdelegates don't get that, i think we're really in trouble in this country.

if Obama loses in November i think it could clearly be traced back to her treatment of him. She will no doubt run around the country saying i told you so and then run in 2012.

THEY ARE LOTS OF WOLVES (REPUBLICANS) IN SHEEP (DEMOCRATS) CLOTHING HERE ….. TRYING TO STIR UP TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!

MoreMcSame — very well put! Hopefully, Senator Edwards and VP Al Gore will support Barack Obama as well as other superdelegates. For her to stand in front of her supporters and tell everyone he could not get her supporters to vote for him is ludicrous and she needs to exit now!

No More Hillary PLEASE!

HILLARY GETTING TO BIG FOR HER BRITCHES
