Obama met with several undecided superdelegates on Capitol Hill Thursday.

(CNN) - Barack Obama won two more superdelegate endorsements Thursday, narrowing his deficit with Hillary Clinton to seven.

North Carolina Rep. Brad Miller and Washington Rep. Rick Larsen both announced they will cast their superdelegate votes for the Illinois senator.

"The decision was not easy," Miller, a two-term congressman, said in a statement. "Senator Clinton has run an impressive campaign, and has spoken eloquently to the concerns to working and middle class American families. She is one of the great leaders of this generation.

"Senator Obama understands that he has the chance not just to win the election this year, but to be a great president," he added.

Miller's district, which includes Raleigh, overwhelmingly voted for Obama Tuesday, 63 percent to 35 percent.

Larsen, a three-term congressman whose district lies in the northwest area of Washington state, praised Obama as the "best candidate to turn our country's hopes for a better future into reality."

"This week, Senator Obama has proven that he is tough and resilient," he said. "He has shown that he can take a pounding, come back and continue to communicate with the public to deliver his message of hope and change."

Obama easily defeated Clinton in Washington's February 19 caucus, 68 percent to 31 percent.

The two endorsements bring Clinton's advantage over Obama among superdelegates down to seven, according to CNN's estimate; Clinton has the backing of 267 superdelegates, while Obama has 260.

Since Tuesday's primaries, Obama has gained six superdelegates while Clinton has picked up one. But Clinton also lost a superdelegate Wednesday - DNC member Jennifer McClellan switched her support to Obama - for a net gain of zero.

Race is an issue....just as his campaign and supporters suggest that age is an issue. Is this racism...is this agism? Is it "All's Fair" or is it negative campaigning? I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

I beleive Obama will make a great president. He is for the people.
Clinton is just for clinton. My opinion is she wants power.

Joe   May 9th, 2008 8:09 am ET

ok if Clinton has 267 superdelegates and obama 250 isn't the difference 17 and not 7? maybe I read the article incorrectly.....

Andre   May 9th, 2008 7:59 am ET

Where did CNN learn maths? The difference between 267 and 250 is seventeen, not seven.

benj   May 9th, 2008 7:58 am ET

Obama will never get my vote. I will now vote for mccain

Joe - Wilmington, DE   May 9th, 2008 7:45 am ET

Sen. Obama is a brilliant, gifted statesman. He is the obvious choice for President at this time in American political history. He has the potential to be one of the great ones.

Let's get past the anger Hillary supporters and do what's best for the country/ Stop blaming Obama for the mistakes FL and Michigan made. Unite the party if you are a real Democrat. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

Foreign observer   May 9th, 2008 7:20 am ET

It is so simple. With all her heart Hillary will go to support her old friend Obama. Her strongest wish it is to avoid a GOP President.

Hey "Go ahead- it's not Nov yet", go ahead and protest the DNC with your vote in November and if McCain wins I will be thinking of you when the US falls into a depression. You're only hurting yourself by taking such actions... grow up already!

America, the land of equal opportunity,the land of dreaming, the creator of modern demorcracy. Some of your children still sound undemorcratic. If you actually have demorcratic values, you should be thinking of unification and rally support for your party.

Marlene   May 9th, 2008 1:17 am ET

The Clinton's have been good for our country. We cannot dispute the great economy of the 1990's. But, it is time for HOPE Obama. He is brilliant and will gain world respect for America once again. Our economy is about equal to the 1929 Depression. Obama will be the second FDR! Go Obama! We need you!

Sylvester   May 9th, 2008 1:15 am ET

Obama will be the next President because the country do need change. That's why he's been winning so far, that's why he's going to win in November.

Debbi   May 9th, 2008 12:47 am ET

It seems like every time Hillary gets behind or loses a state she tries to go after those votes in Michigan and Florida. I'm tired of hearing about that. That's a done deal. Give up HIllary! You can't win!

GO OBAMA!

To all the people who are hysterical because this is such a close race and their candidate may not be the one running against McCain. First, stop blaming the process. It's been here for decades first of all, and secondly all the candidates knew the rules from the start. Second, CALM DOWN!!! Don't lose sight of the prize itself. Think of your own idealogical reasons why you are a democratc in the first place. Do you really want to turn over this country to McCain because of being a poor loser? We are democrats, we are bigger than the bitterness that is being slung around here.

LD - Another defect to Obama - YES!!   May 8th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

It's a true shame that Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) supporters are soooo jealous, they are willing to vote Republican, just for the sake of destroying the party!! Maybe there is some truth to the fact that racism is still alive in 2008. Particulary, Richard Bell from Salem, NC.....why are you so bitter.....that a man, who just happens to be African-American, has displayed dignity, strength, and poise throughout this campaign; PARTICULARLY, since he was the true underdog in this race from the beginning!! ;-)

It's amazing how this man, who had to dignify a response based on what his pastor said, has come under fire....YET HRC, who has repeatedly lied to the American people (right-wing conspiracy, sniper fire, and please don't forget NAFTA......the only real reason for winning Ohio), can generate such support from supposedly smart, educated people. If she cannot be honest to the American people about her position on domestic issues, how can we trust this woman to be honest with our allies overseas? Futhermore, in her infamous speech today, just who is she referring to as "less educated"? As an college educated individual, I'm even appauled at this statement as no one is less worthy simply for the fact they do not have a college education.

If this shoe would have been on the other foot and Obama was behind in numbers (popular vote, pledged delegates, and the increasing support from Superdelegates) as like HRC, the the DNC would have not only told Obama to back out, they would have thrown him under a bus!! Please HRC supporters, just simply dignify yourselves as her attempting to run a good race, yet she fell short!

OBAMA '08!!!

American Lover   May 8th, 2008 10:18 pm ET

Ellie   May 8th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

I strongly believe that Obama is the right one for the job. Not enough experience some say, well, look at what experience has gotten us during the last few yrs. I had been a McCain supporter, Never a Clinton supporter. What exeprience does Clinton bring, other than her knack for being a liar and an actress. Which by the way, appears to be a desirable attribute according to her supporters. Come on W Virginia, Kentucky and all other future primary states, vote Obama. You owe nothing to Clinton. Your precious jobs were kissed good bye-by her husband.

Tony in Toronto   May 8th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

To Go ahead- it's not Nov yet – The really sad part of this whole election is the discovery of truly selfish voters like you who would rather vote for a Republican in November than the candidate that YOUR party chooses fair and square – there's no conspiracy here except the one that you are trying to create. At the end of the day all primary contests will be resolved and the delegates of Florida and Michigan will be seated. Fair and square. The question is: will you support the winner?

This has been an epic contest with two of the most amazing political figures to ever emerge from the American fabric. The usual complaint that people have is that there is no candidate that inspires anything and we're usually left with a bunch of truly unsatisfactory choices. Not this time! Whether it ends up being Hillary or Barack the potential of what they could do is truly incredible.

As a Canadian who is proud to share a common border with your great nation I say it's about time that you had a leader that chooses to look ahead with a worldview rather than just the usual myopic U.S. view. That myopic view adopted by your country for the past 8 years IS the reason why your economy is in shambles and is so ill-equipped to compete on the world stage. Aiding McCain, as honorable as he is, to become your next President will only prolong this situation. If you're willing to do that then you must not be concerned about making America great once again.

As the most powerful nation on this planet the United States of America IS the steward of the world we all share. Therefore we expect you to lead by example, gain trust by earning respect, and always be courageous enough to challenge what is not right, both around the world and in your own back yard. Now you have TWO incredible individuals that share one common trait – they can indeed rise above the past and claim the future by leading both your great country and the world. And in the midst of this potential for greatness – shared by both Clinton and Obama – you choose to disrespect their efforts by saying you'll vote Republican if your candidate is unable to win. How selfish is that?

You sound like one of "those" people – and we all know them – who, after a well fought contest would choose to destroy the prize for everyone rather than accept defeat with honor and make everyone stronger by adding their voice and strength to the champion. You don't sound like a true Democrat – true Democrats are never afraid of a fight, and when they do so they fight with integrity, and they never, ever jump ship – which is what you're preaching. You need to take a hard look at your logic and your allegiance. If you are really a Republican at heart I suggest you vote for McSame and stay one. If not then suck it up and support whomsoever your Party chooses. Isn't that supposed to be the Democratic way?

Let's think about this---------------   May 8th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

McCain benefits from the lack of a united democratic party. If I'm a true democrat, I have to vote for the nominee, be it Hillary or Obama. For me to say I'm going to teach the "corrupt" democratic establisment a thing or two with my vote for McCain in Nov., or by not voting at all is shortsighted.
This democratic race is like watching your favorite sports team in the playoffs. You want them to win at all costs, and it they don't, your going to root against the team that beat them, and your going to wnat the team that beat your team to lose in the big game. We all need to wake up and realize that this is not a sport, and the party that wins will have great impact on our day to day lives. It doesn't matter if you supprt Obama or Hillary, you need to vote for the democratic candidate. If you don't, then you have no right to complain about McCain when he wins, bacause you will ahve helped him to the oval office.

Realistically, this circus we call a political system today is so far from what our forefathers envisioned, its a joke. But it is also our reality.

Iron Man III   May 8th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

I find it very interesting and comical that as Obama takes the D ticket, both Hillary and McCains supporters throw their toys afar from their cot and in so doing denouncing CNN coverage as bias. CNN has always been and always will be right on the money, totally unbiased and spells out the story as it is, well done CNN ! You certainly have my vote. These people that threaten to leave the D Party, to stop watching CNN, we dont want people like you anyway ! For everyone of you, there are 2 others waiting in the wings and for good reason, most people want a candidate that can change the landscape, a candidate with honour and judgement. Not interested in the person that can throw the most nasties ! Obama, you are the man ! President OBAMA, WOW. Watch the US become accountable, watch the whitehouse change for the better, watch the rest of the world give the US another chance ! The international community see the US as a joke now, only Obama can change this, not Hillary, not McCain.

Look forward to Obama taking charge from day 1 !

Real Dem   May 8th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

What's so stunning is the fact that the Hillary Supporters are still saying add in Michigan and Florida. Fine, but O'bama will still have the lead in delegates and most likely the superdelegates so then what? Come up with another sorry reason to say O'bama and his thugs ( VERY RACIST)
are disenfranchising the people? I think most of you are cold hearted individuals who don't think ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. I feel sorry for you.

jeff warino   May 8th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

RB   May 8th, 2008 9:02 pm ET

I have never been too involved in politics before but I felt compelled to weigh in on the democratic race. I have been a life long democrat and fully support the decision to not count the votes in Michigan and Florida despite pressure from Hillary Clinton.

If we are the democratic nation we proclaim to be, we must follow the established rules set in place and not change them when it is convenient to do so. Further, if we change the rules to satisfy one person who cannot accept the will of the people, how can we respect ourselves as a people and a nation when we demand other nations follow democratic processes?

It is unfortunate that Michigan and Florida did not follow the rules but as I must abide by the rules set forth in this voting process, so does everyone else.

Cornish   May 8th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

I am a Pacific Isander. I've only been casually "reading "American election news over the years. However, with Obama being the democratic Presidential Nominee, I‘ve been stung by the Obamania fever that has stung a lot of educated and young voters in the US.

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…"

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

Quoted by FACINGREALITY

IMHO – Those who are continually spouting that they will vote for McCain if Hllary is not the candidate are really Republicans who are trying to cause havoc like pill popping, should be in jail for writing illegal prescriptions Rush Lumbaugh. There is not a rational Democrat would could possibly believe that McCain will serve their best interest in the White House, with 2 Supreme Court Justices awaiting appointment, a continuation of the tax cuts for the rich, waterboarding, not wanting to talk to our enemies, gas at 4.00 dollars a gallon, milk at 4.00 a gallon, 2 dollars for eggs – COME ON!

I trust in America and I am a DEMOCRAT and even though I don't like Hillary – loved Bill – I would take a grandchild to the voting booth and let her push the button but I would NEVER give Bush a third term. That type of mentality is the reason we are in Iraq and allowed the GREENEST PRESIDENT to slip through our hands when we let lying Bush in for a second term. I vote for the best interest of my family and Obama is getting the support of the Party which says alot about their belief that he is the YES WE CAN President.

It is time for WE THE PEOPLE TO COUNT and WE WANT OUR HOUSE BACK!

Paula   May 8th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Hey, There is a typo in the this story and should be corrected : You wrote: "The two endorsements bring Clinton's advantage over Obama among superdelegates down to seven, according to CNN's estimate; Clinton has the backing of 267 superdelegates, while Obama has 250." But according to the story Obama has 260 and not 250.

John TX   May 8th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

Why are people so angry with Obama just because he rose to the occasion?
No one hated the New York Giants when they outplayed the inevitable New England Patriots. It happens! People usually respect the winner.

John San Francisco   May 8th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

Does it amaze any follower of the Political Race that now at this point, that it appears Senator Obama may have a real shoot at becoming the President of the United States of America, that the real fear of those White Americans that are still caught up in FEAR of their old stereo type beliefs, are afraid that Mr. Obama will be the first Black Man to be Commander and Chief of the United States.

Just the very mentioned of these comments have some in this country who are still living in the past like Rev Wright.

It is clear that the Media is also in collusion to do this SPIN attack on Mr. Obama.

Listen closely my fellow Americans to how the issues and interviews with Mr. Obama is being framed by some of the most visible Media Anchors.

If it was not for the Freedom of Speech, we as Political Bloggers would not have had a forum to express these views.

Yes, there are many Blogs that are just the core center of many Americans fears, traditions, and out dated belief. You can call it an Apple all day long, but after you eat it, it is still and will always be an Orange.

Look for the take down because it is coming. This is what Mr. Obama was referring too.

Yes, refer to this Blog; the Clinton’s will steal the White House. I hate to say such things, but look at the behavior of the Clintons and the Republicans. They are going to work together to bring down Mr. Obama. This is why Mr. Obama will not commit to offering Ms. Clinton the Vice Presidency.

The sad part is the Clinton’s who want to ignore the wishes of all the voters and States that have voted for Senator Barak Obama.

Yes, they are saying “How dare this country pick inexperience Black Man over the former First Lady of the White House”. They are prepared to keep Mr. Obama from being President, you better believe it. And for you Hillary Supporters, they really don’t care if you lose your homes, jobs, or economy. Why? Hmmm, maybe because a young Black Man who has only been a Senator for 4 years is the choice of the people.

WOW what a Democracy we call America.

Paul   May 8th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

90% of the reason I'm voting for Obama is because of his foreign policy. Do we ignore the playground bully by not talking to him? Our foreign policy is in shambles and our reputation around the world is a disgrace! We need to stop being the bullies and listen to other points of view ~ not to agree with them, but to understand them so that we can work together to create a planet that works together to solve problemsl!

Sure don't vote for Obama. Go ahead vote for a third Bush term. Vote for an overwhelming right wing majority on the Supreme Court. Go ahead vote for more war. Go ahead vote for no health care.

All because your precious feelings are hurt, you're willing to flip off the rest of America,

Sure..go ahead vote for more of the same.

Dear HIllary Supporters,

On behalf of all Obama supporters we apologise if we have offended you. Its time to get over on petty difference and do whats best for the country and back our Democratic candidate. I cannot stand to see one more freind lose and job, and house and have no insurance for a sick kid and see one of my freinds kids come home in a body bad from Iraq.

Go ahead superdelgates make Hilliary's supporters angry, if you can wait for the primaries to end. Then you are the ones that will cause her supporters to vote for McCain or not to vote at all. Hilliary women for Mccain will unite.

What happened to my comment? -supporting Clinton in her decision to stay in the race, at least until she can gracefully exit, without the appearance of being forced out except by the inescapable law of mathematics, thus being able to help reunify the Party

Waqar Qureshi   May 8th, 2008 8:05 pm ET

The article mentions that Senator Clinton's lead is down to "7" in the superdelegate race. Where that may be true, the superdelegate number shown in this article shows Senator Clinton at 267 and Senator Obama at 250 – Making the difference "17" and not "7."

garrett   May 8th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

You need to check your math. The article says "Obama picks up two superdelegates, narrows gap to seven." The two endorsements bring Clinton's advantage over Obama among superdelegates down to seven, according to CNN's estimate; Clinton has the backing of 267 superdelegates, while Obama has 250.

In my book 267 minus 250 equals 17.

Dave Acheson   May 8th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

I have only 1 problem with this article: the math. Doesn't 267 minus 250 equal sevenTEEN? Was one of those totals given incorrectly?

Check your numbers - you say the spread is 7, so either Obama has 260 and she has 267, or he has 250 and she has 257.

Janice   May 8th, 2008 7:17 pm ET

There's no way I will be able to vote for Obama. I just don't trust the guy.

Women, if you are within child bearing age you would be wise to think about the next Supreme Court appointments. Maybe many of you aren't old enough to remember the back alley abortions, women sticking clothes hangers into themselves to abort unwanted babies. Women bleeding to death or getting infections from back room abortions and becoming sterile from them. Women taking all kind of home remedies and dying because of unwanted pregnancies. Well, I remember and it wasn't nice. Think about someone other than yourself when you go in that voting booth.

My mother taught me that you don't judge a book by its cover, but rather by what's on the inside. That is why I voted for Senator Obama. Also as a lifelong Catholic, I also was taught that it is a sin to lie...so I guess I'm not getting the Catholic support of Ms. Clinton?????

I wish that ALL Democrats will support Mr. Obama in the general election. Let's ALL hold hands and set aside whatever ill feelings we have and recapture the WH so we can get this economy back on track.
The unnecessary war in Iraq is one of the reasons why we're in the state we're today for almost 6 six years now or better. Let's stop the financing of the war and use the money for the American people. After all it's the American People's money and nobody else. Think about it. Please make a wise and fruitful decision.

Do people not realize that though a candidate's character and "experience" is somewhat important, the most important thing is who they surround themselves with? Do you really think Presidents make their decisions based solely on their experience? No, they refer to someone who has detailed knowledge on the topic at hand. I feel that the experience thing is completely overhyped...afterall, Lincoln only served one term in Congress before being elected President.

NO OBAMANIA   May 8th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Dean, Kennedy ,Kerry and all the ole school Dems can spin it, and say we'll all unite, we'll all come together........BS.

The old Dems should have done their homework on Obama, before they tried to shove him down everyone's throat.

We will vote for Repiblican McCain, at least he is a proud American and shows and has shown loyalty to his country.

FL and MI are not in play because they broke DNC rules and held their primaries before they were supposed to!!! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Obama, party elitist, etc,etc,etc. Hillary LOOKS like she's winning both those states because she kept her name on the ballot when both Obama and Edwards removed their names. Yet another rule broken. She did not WIN ANYTHING. Stop the talking points on this matter. If the states would have played by the rules and Hillary played by the rules the votes would have been counted. Y'all making me tired here....

Play be the rules= Your votes count

Breakt he rules= Votes don't get counted.

It's not hard.

Please for the good of our country vote Obama.

Frank   May 8th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

The Clinton campaign keep stating the that she won FL and that there was a huge turnout. Being from FL, everyone knew the election did not count. The reason for the huge turnout was not because of the presidential election, it was because of the property taxes admendment that was on the ballot, which effected everyone. Barack did not come to FL, as per the agreement and then Hillary comes the last few days. So Barack abided by the rule, Hillary did not, as usual. If the election was reheld to day, Hillary's luck might run out. But for Hillary to state she won Florida is a joke. I used to admire her and her husband, but the shine is gone and the history books will not look favorably on the Clintons, which is really too bad.

james   May 8th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

To my democratic brethren. Please, lets cut Hillary some slack. I am an Obama supporter but i realize that this race has been long and grueling. Hillary and Barack have given alot of themselves in the process. It is not easy to just throw the cards in at this stage of the game Please, cut her some slack. She knows like we all know that the writing is on the wall. I suspect that at this point she is trying to raise money to erode her hefty debt. It will be officially over by June 4th. We need to bring this party together if we are going to defeat John Mccain, which should be all of our goals. I say congratulations to Hillary for her tenacity. It is time to mend all hard feelings within our party.

Old & White   May 8th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Clinton Supporters,

1) Disbelief and Denial (Hillary and a handful of die hard feminists.)

2) Anger and Blame (That what most of you bitter Hillary posters are currently exibiting.)

3) Exploration (You will seek out Barack, and listen this time.)

4) Acceptance (You will come to understand that Obama has your interests at heart, and McCain is a Republican.)

Give it time ladies.

Brenda H. Jenkins   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

I am sick and tired of Hillary Clinton insinuating that Barak Obama can not win the Presidential Election in November. She insists that he can not get the votes of white senior citizens, white blue collar workers, rural whites, and whites who simply refuse to vote for him. I can say that Barack Obama has worked dilligently to gain support of those demographics by going to factories and plants, rural communities, small dinners, etc., to try and gain the support and respect of these voters. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has never made an effort to regain the support of black voters. Rather than try to explain comments made by her husband and herself and apologize for them, she has been indignant and defensive. Yet, she calls Barack Obama elitist and out of touch, when in fact, she is the most elite of them all. Will someone please inform Mrs. Clinton that the United States will survive and be just fine without her.

Vincent Voltaire   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Something must be wrong with my calculator because it kept coming up with 17:

"The two endorsements bring Clinton's advantage over Obama among superdelegates down to seven, according to CNN's estimate; Clinton has the backing of 267 superdelegates, while Obama has 250."

Joyce in Florida   May 8th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Here we go again. Everything is always about Obama. Obama this, Obama that. I am sick of hearing about him. He has no plans for our country and is still playing the race card even though he won't actually admit it. Let's face it, Hillary might have stumbled a bit here recently, but she still won in Indiana. There are more primaries ahead and she should fight until the convention if need be. I still support her and I wish you people who want her to drop out now would just quit harping on that already. She will NOT give up as long as she has our support. There are loads of people who want her to be our nominee. She is the best candidate to compete against John McCain. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!

Indiana stopped her   May 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Why do people insist that Obama has no solutions? He is a leader and a communicator, not an adversarial bully. Me,me ,me, I, I ,I, "I know what's best for the country even though I don't listen to the experts". Sounds a lot like GWB.

Emily   May 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I am always amazed how Hillary can have about 50% of the votes yet 90% of the comments on all the CNN forum are against her – something just doesn't add up....It is so sad to see how much media influences voters. Why did you feel the need to spend hours of air time analyzing whether the game is over for Hillary. At least 49% of demacratic voters don't think so. And who cares what the superdelegates think – if they can be bought off by campaign money – I don't really have any respect for their opinion.

Dale   May 8th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

I tell all you Clinton supporters one thing...we (AAs) maybe a minority in this country BUT BILLARY WILL NOT WIN without us if these SUPERDELEGATES take the nominee away from OBAMA.

Ron Paul and Obama have very different philosophy – yet when it comes to policy, there is a remarkable degree of similarity.

Keith from WI   May 8th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Regardless if you are a Clinton supporter or not....we all have the media to blame forcing Billary on us every since her questionable Senate race in 2000. If she was never married to a president...No one would have ever heard of Billary. She is merely a coat tale politician that had no real experience just a last name that she married. She had questionable practices during her legal days working for a small lawfirm.

Here's the bottom line.....WE ALL have contributed to her campaign whether you wanted to or not. Who do you think pays for every trip that her husband makes on her behalf??? The US Taxpayer...yes.... The Secret Service needs to arrive before the former prez ever gets there so there all that expense that no one is talking about. I know we will never see what the real expense is to the tax payer to support her campaign but it will be well over a million dollars. And the longer she drags this out, she is punishing every single US taxpayer. Even if the government bills her for all this service...do you ever think she will pay for it since all the Clintons think they deserve it.

Also, with every one that is struggling to pay a mortgage....here's is something else to ponder. Billary wants to help you out in some fashion...but.....and here's the kicker...The Clintons bill the US government for the expense to have the US Secret Service at their residence in NY. And its exact amount of their monthly mortgage payment......Who's the elist now???

I can see Billary with not a clue what went wrong and why she can't play in her sandbox again....lol

Who says Mccain will be a better President than Obama? How do you know? McCain has been in the senate since the U.S. was created and how has he changed anything? That's why were in the mess we are now because of the Republicans and you want to put another one in office? Heck no. . . .he has to go!

Teacher in CA   May 8th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I am ashamed of all of you fellow democrats who proclaim that you will vote for McCain in November if your candidate doesn't get the nomination. How can you call yourself a democrat if you do so? You aren't teaching anyone a lesson doing so. You are going against everything our party stands for. You might as well register republican.

Personally, I detest Hillary. And for as little as I can stand her, you can bet I'll suck it up and vote for her come November if only to keep a republican out of office. You see I can look past my personal distaste for someone in order to unite the party. Why can't you do that?

Alameda Chris   May 8th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

I was a staunch Clinton supporter but it is now clear that she cannot win. Time to throw my support behind Obama. Even though he's not my first choice, I think he'll make a fine President. We are lucky enough to be blessed with two good Dem candidates this Primary so we can't go too wrong! Anything's better than more of the same Neocon BS we've been cursed with for the last 8 years. While it's good to support your favorite in a Primary, once it becomes clear your favorite is not THE favorite, it's time support your party as a whole...just like every Primary before this one. United we stand, divided we fall!

The next president will appoint AT LEAST two judges. If McCain is the president, you can say goodbye to Roe v. Wade.

Is that what you want?

Undecide   May 8th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

To Obama's supporters:

I just want to clear that voters choose Clinton because they know she has a solution for this country, to bring this country out of horrible time, to bring up economy, healthcare, education..etc..., not about they like her. But they know that Obama will do nothing to this country because he knows nothing, and they don't want to elect another president who will bring this country downward. and there can be alot more reasons. So they will choose McCain over Obama, because McCain will be a better candidate if Clinton is not nominee.

Ann for Change   May 8th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

To the individuals who suggested blacks were racist because 90 percent or more voted for Barack Obama, first and foremost; it is unwise and ignorant to make general comments. Ninety percent is not one-hundred percent. Secondly, when black people have to constantly hear commentators insinuate that "white blue collar workers" and "white" this and that are unfavorable towards Barack Obama compared to Hillary Clinton, as if our votes do not matter or there aren't any "black blue collar workers", or whites are superior to blacks, we are forced to prove that our votes do matter and additional points. It is not a matter of racism, but the fact that we want our voices to be equally heard and points considered (or at least me, because I can't speak for everyone and some do like Hillary Clinton for their own personal reasons). Really, this racial divisiveness needs to stop, because the truth of the matter is, Clinton or Obama is going to win the nomination, but most likely, it will be Obama. Then must ask ourselves, are we going to be as spiteful as we claim Hillary Clinton are and vote for McCain or the opposing party because ours’ did not win or not vote at all? If everyone does, they will still lose and any complaints about the country once the President is elected into the White House, based on these actions, will be nullified and unwarranted. So, don’t complaint when in the end things do not go your way, because you will have chosen your destination and the direction of this country. I am and always will be a Barack Obama supporter and not because he is black and excellent speech giver, but because he offers hope, something we were promised every four years, but haven’t received yet. According to history, not black history, an African-American has never run this country, so who is anyone to say, one will destroy it? Perhaps it takes an African-American President, like Barack Obama, to undo what so many others created, and to do what so many others pontificated while running for President and later on failed to do. It is time for change in the right direction and less empty promises.

sarabee   May 8th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

Are we really so sanguine about a BUSH 3rd term that we believe McCain will be a better President than the Democrat who beat our own favorite Democrat? CHILL OUT!!!! Don't vote for McCain. Don't stay home. Stay engaged. Resist the Republican attack machine. Support down ballot Democrats. Open your wallet. Talk to your Republican neighbors and family members. And vote for the Democrat in November, whomever he or she may be.....

EK   May 8th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Some of the comments are so unfortunate! As if the caucus format were devised only prior to this election cycle, purely to benefit Senator Obama; as if Florida and Michigan violated DNC rules, the consequences of doing so being known, in order to have their delegates disqualified with the primary purpose of benefitting Senator Obama...!

A few weeks ago I seriously thought about whether or not I can vote for the other candidate if the 1 chose did not win. At first, I kept saying I will just do a write-in. But we really do need to think about this on whether or not we want McCain as president. No matter what happens whoever is nominated we have to struggle with the reality of unity. We gotta stop the machine that is running the White House. Besides, the media might be saying something different next week when Clinton wins W.Va. by double digits. . .

Young Democrat, CA   May 8th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I beg each and everyone one of the Clinton supporters who say they would vote for McCain if she is not nominated to reconsider. Think of all the damage he would do to this country. If you truly believe in the ideals that Sen. Clinton believes, then you must know in your heart that McCain would destroy any chance of achieving those ideals. If Clinton gets the nomination, even though I strongly disagree with her and her tactics, I would never vote for McCain. I believe Obama is the best candidate (as you all believe Clinton is) but we must unite against the faulty Republicans and reverse course before it is too late. Do NOT be fooled again by a 'moderate' looking Republican – he is the SAME as Bush. Have we not learned our lesson after 8 years? Don't stretch this on for four more. PLEASE.

Somebody said he can be a great President? What the heck are you idiots smoking? He's not even quailified to be in the Senate. Too bad Jeri Ryan took down her ex-husband Jack, we would have never had to deal with this abomination. What we need is a military take over to restore order and sweep the extreme left loons off the landscape.

The notion that African-Americans support Obama just because he is blacks is ignorant, as well as racist. We are just like everyone else: we vote for whomever we feel represent our interests. Some Clinton supporters are clueless. We overwhelmingly supported Bill in '92 and '96, and now there is a candidate( Obama) that we feel represent our interests the best, and y'all want to whine and complain about it. If blacks support all blacks just because of race ask an African american if they supported Clarence Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court. Bill won the presidency because of support of the AA community, and we stood solidly behind him during the Lewinsky scandal.We vote for same reasons as any other voter, period, and for some Clinton supporters to imply otherwise demostrates how BITTER that some of you are. Go ahead vote for McCain, you will just be cutting off your nose to spite your face. Polls showing that Most Obama's supporters would vote for Clinton, but alot of Clinton supporters would NOT vote for Obama, show that THESE individuals not Blacks would be superficial in their vote, even it's to their own detriment.

The Hillary supporters who vow to support McCain when (not if) Obama becomes out nominee are proof that her supporters truly are uneducated. It, therefore, makes sense that they would align themselves with the God-Gays-Guns Republicans and vote against their own economic interests.

Too bad.

All who advocate voting for McCain instead of Obama because Clinton doesn't get the nomination should really consider what that could mean in more GWBush policies and then simply recognize that feeling as really being consistent with the divisiveness and belligerence that Hillary has created. Without meaning to attack Hillary but rather wanting to see it for what it is, that thinking, that personality is what brought the campaign down to what it has been. Think about what is at stake and bring it up to a higher level, for your own good and the good of the country.

Dear 'Go ahead- it's not Nov yet',

Those of us who share the ideals of the democratic party reach out to mindsets like yours of hatred and divisiveness. If you must wallow in that kind of misery so be it, but the fact is this great country was built on a system of compromises- none as great as individual preferences for our leaders.

Choosing four more years of Bush-like policies to make some kind of sophomoric point is a disservice to your party. Any short-term enjoyment gained will prove painful long term if McCain gets in.

Its up to DNC to seat the MI and Fl delegates and I don't think Clinton should be asking her competitor to bargain with her over how it is done.

Hillary needs to quite acting like the mouthpiece of white people. It is insulting. And she should quite saying that it is the white people who determine the President.

I have been white for 48 years and I am not going to vote for Hillary because she is white.

Dave W.   May 8th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

To greenfun
I listened to the interview on CNN with Obama, and he pointed out numerous times and corrected Wolf many times that he ha not won yet. He reminded Wolf that there are 6 contests left and mentioned that Sen. Clinton is a formidable candidate. What were you listening to.

Clinton supporters are going to teach Obama a lesson because Florida and Michigan votes didn't count? When will you get it that the state officoials screwed things for those two states. All of the candidates agreed, including Clinton, at the beginning that they would not count. Clinton did not even mention them until she fell behind.

Bill in Illinois   May 8th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Hopefully Hillary won't have enough cash to buy any delegates. That is after all, the only way she will win.

Forget Fla and Mich. They knew what the rules were and decided to set their own and they won't make a difference anyhow.

Moving On   May 8th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

Obama will have to get more and more superdelegates. If superdelegates ignore their constituents, then perhaps it's a case of Skulls and Bones. You know, a case of insider agreements.

Young Voter   May 8th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

I wish that people would all calm down. Just realize that in November we can't afford John McCain. Too many of my friends and people of my generation will be put at risk in Iraq and possibly Iran. The rhetoric of voting for the children needs to become fact and we need to put an end to this war, McCain will not do that.

Second, I'm insulted by people saying that the Caucus process is allowing Obama to cheat. I was an Obama Precinct Captain in Iowa and I did not exaggerate any part of my count of voters or try to intimidate people or any of this nonsense.

Suggesting that voting for McCain will be the revenge of Hillary supports makes me want to puke. Your vote is something millions of people have died for in the history of our nation and suggesting that it should be used for something as childish as revenge that will be detrimental to our nation is disgusting.

Clinton has used all fair and unfair tactics to win till date, yet she couldn't. Bill+Hillary+Chelse+the Media+ Republicans all have tried so hard to put Obama down without success, that is an outstanding person to be president! Now you whining immature crying babies want to just give POTUS to someone who could hardly manage a campaign for about a year successfully a nation of 300Million + in 4 or 8 years?

For those HRC supporters trying to explain your reasons for not wanting to vote for Obama, you can give it a rest. You would never vote for OBAMA even if he was running against a corpse.

Don't insult our intelligence by contribing excuses that only you have imagined to justify your position. You don't have to explain your reason for not wanting to vote for OBAMA, we already know!!

I look at the HRC supporters reasons and rationalizations and all I can do is scratch my head and think, are these reasonable and rational thinking people? Do they actually believe what they are saying? And the answer is "YES".

These people don't like change, especially if it comes wrapped in dark paper. If you are representive of the Democratic party and choose to vote for McSame, then I say "bye-bye" and I'm sure you will feel right at home in the monotone republican party.

But I know and we all know how intelligent you are and we know what you are trying to do. Your comment today is like saying the Black, Latino, Asian, and everyone else's votes don't count. Everyones vote counts here Hillary. It's not just the blue collar white people. Whites aren't the only "blue collar" workers in this country. Lets also highlight all of Obama supporters.

Go Obama   May 8th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Its one thing to fairly split the Florida and Michigan votes then seat the superdelegates etc at the convention. Its not okay to delegates of a voting primary that was unfairly done and canvased. Everyone knows that Obama just followed the DNC and felt that since the votes would not count according to the rules.. so he felt he could make more work towards states that were going to count.

Hillary kept herself on the ticket and did speeches at both states. The only reason Obama was not taken off the ticket in Florida is because the state refused to remove the names. Its not fair to take the primary results as it was. It was not fairly won. To split them evenly is the only way.

Hillary is only trying to up her delegates in a unfair manner to try and win. That to me is called cheating and dishonest which really shows Hillarys character. It also shows she will stoop to the lowest to try and win. I wonder how she got this way? Was it her upbringing that she so much talks about?

I know this might sound strange but it is really true that the african american vote propelled Obama to the nomination. AA's make up 15% of the American population. 95% vote democrat. Saying democrats and republicans are split 45-50 with 5 indpendent. So it would be safe to say 15/50 of the democrats are black. about 30 Million dems have voted in the primaries so far, each candidate garnering almost the same number of votes. Obama has won 90% of the black vote which is about 1/5 of all the votes cast. This about 6 million votes!!! Hillary has been beating him among white 60-40. If the blacks had voted for him by 60-40 he would be a far cry from the nomination. Nothing changed with Hillary's front runner status as far as the whites were concerned. She just lost the black vote. Period. He can't beat McCain because the Republicans never rely on the black vote as the dynamics of the dem nomination don't come into play. America wake up.

I remember as an 8 year old girl moving to a small town in Texas in 1968. That was the first time that I saw racism up close and personal. I saw a black man hanging from a tree! The focus on race throughout this primary reminds me of a not so distant past that has has escaped the 21st Century American society at large. Those same people (younger and older) are still alive and hate is still thriving! In fact, it is festering!

If you say you are a Christian and you proclaim to love Christ, but find no love for your neighbor you whom you can see with your eyes and feel with your hands...you do not have the love of God in your heart! We should be ashamed of ourselves...The Whole World is Watching American...More Importantly, God is WATCHING YOU and LISTENING!

I don't hear anyone talk about the Dems like me and others I know that would not vote for Hillary Clinton for President regardless of who else was running against her. We are not inclined to vote for Sen. McCain because of his current policy proposals, even though we have great respect for his service to our country. But, bottom-line, we and many others, as proud as we might be to see a woman in the oval office, do not "trust" Sen. Clinton....and her conduct during the primary campaigns have solidified our concerns. For this reason, I am so pleased to see that Sen. Obama is the likely nominee of our party. I only hope that he is not forced to offer her the VP spot on our ticket. I am certain that there must be another choice, possibly a woman, that will complement him on the ticket. Go Obama!!!!

Hillary supporters who vow to vote for McCain instead are being as selfish as she is. At this point she's just trying to weaken Obama so he will lose and she can "come to the rescue in four years". Hillary represents everything that's wrong with American politics. She thought because she's a Clinton that she gets to walk into the nomination just like she walked into NY. The media fell in love with Obama because he's refreshing, because people who never vote are going to fund raisers. Because he says things like the bitter comment (which is completely true) instead of the same old watered down PC talk we normally get from the left.

It will be very curious to see what the female Hillary supporter who have said they will not vote for Obama in the general election will do when they suddenly realize that the choice is between Obama who is pro-choice and McCain who as recently as this week affirmed his pro-life philosophy in combination with declaring that he will carefully appoint justices as President. With the Supreme Court's composition as it is and the retirement of Supreme Court justices sure to happen in the next 4 years, I wonder if Hillary's ladies will still want to stamp their feet and hold their breath while McCain get elected and goes on to appoint more Scalias and Thomases to the Supreme Court so the Roe v.

I am confused by Hillary supporters who indicate they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Dem. nomination! Are you folks not Democrats!!?? Would you really prefer to cut off your nose just to spite your face?

McCain is not an independent! He is a Bush Republican! He has sold out any "maverick inclinations" in him to pander to the right-wing conservative base of the Republicans. His reversal on the tax cuts, his speech on appointing conservative judges, his denial of not having voted for Bush, etc. all speak to this pandering.

Obama is a black man running for president. He has received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history. His life, his wife's life and the lives of their two daughters are being threatened every day. Would not only a patriot go through this!?

Don’t Obama and Hillary agree on most major issues!?

Clinton supporters give me a headache. Reading these stories coming in from the Clinton camp today sadden me. I'm amazed and shocked at the gibberish that I keep hearing. George Washington was never a president or congressman prior to being president and he did a pretty okay job (I know the example is extreme but...). Obama has won fair and square. He played by the rules and won. Instead of moving the goalposts back she is trying to change the sport to rugby. She lies on a regular basis. She manipulates each angle and story to polarize us. Please, please don't fall for it. Please, Please quit being spiteful. Please, please vote for the benefit of your children. This is bigger than Clinton, this is bigger than Obama... This is bigger than each one of us individually.. This is about our nation and what its supposed to stand for. Its about being united, about listening and understanding one another even if we don't agree. This is about bridging gaps not manufacturing new ones. This is about being "one nation under God" again... Not multiple nations divided by hatred, money, religion, prejudice, anger, pride, politics... The only man talking about getting us there is Obama. He may not be perfect, and he may not get us there in one swoop, but he at least has stood up in front of the nation and said that he will try. Please, let that count for something.

To all of you Clinton supporters that say they will vote McCain if Obama is the nominee you will get just what you deserve if you are responsible for putting McCain in the White House. It will be more of what we have had these past 7 1/2 years plus moving the supreme court all the way to the right with very conservative appointees. You have to ask yourself are you better off now than you were when George W. Bush took office? I would think 90% of the country would say no and to elect McCain would continue the downward spiral that this country is in.

Tommy In Oregon   May 8th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

very confusing how many people are talking to either not voting or voting for McCain if they can't have Hillary. Why? Do we simply want to hand the White House back to the Republicans for more of what we're getting now.

This thought process is fundamentally flawed and extremely destructive. Policy wise, Obama-Clinton, may differ by 5-10%, but Obama-McCain or Clinton McCain differences are likely 75-100%. Which vote against your own interests (or not vote), economic and otherwise, because your candidate doesn't win the nod.

Very Confusing!

Roger   May 8th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

I'm for Hillary. But I'll vote for McCain because I don't like race cards.

Matt   May 8th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

To all the people that are crying about Hillary's disadvantage by not having FL and MI count:

Wasn't she supposed to have the nomination wrapped up by super tuesday anyways? I can't believe she's saying "what happened to Barack? Why can't he close the deal?" The real question is "What happened to Hillary? Wasn't she supposed to be winning all along?" The answer is simple: the people have spoken and even with MI and FL Obama is winning.

Don   May 8th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

I think that the results over the past few primaries are skewed by the fact that Rush Limbaugh republicans have been voting for Hillary. It looks like the white voter support that Senator Obama had in the earlier primaries is dwindling, but in fact it is the white male Limbaugh supporters voting for Hillary that have given the false appearances of this shift.

I am a white moderate republican that voted for George Bush, and I am now supporting Senator Barack Obama.

Mike   May 8th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

If Senator Clinton is not on a/any ticket, I'm voting McCain.

I hope that the ticket is McCain/Romney, after I heard Romney respond to O'bum bums comments, I'm starting to fint that posibility a lot more appealing!!!

Clinton!!! or McCain!!!!!

O'bum bum will lose in the GE, too overly confident, arrogant & inexperienced, his base of support will start to erode.

karen from va   May 8th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

How wonderful! I expect he will get or two delegates every day from here on out. Hillary will keep on but will get less and less attention from the press. She likes running and if she's willing to keep spending her money, she can just go ahead. But she is losing the respect and admiration of her peers and constituents, and she is jeopardizing her ability to continue to be a force in Democratic poliics.

God Bless Rep. Miller. Barack Obama is going to be one of our greatest President's. Hillary talks about experience. But what does she really have. Being 1st Lady shouldn' t count. J F. Kennedy was young and didn't have experience. It is so sad that Hillary keeps bringing up race. I'm a 60 year old Republican w/women voting for Barack Obama and proud of it. Yes We Can if we are United.

The Clintons were BAD for America's image when Bill was in the White House. The Clintons are even WORSE for America now that their wealth is at $109 million, and more corruption has set in.

For someone with that much money calling Obama an elitist, you know you are looking at a "political animal."

I have promised a huge party to my family and friends on the day Hillary takes her hands off of the nations collective throat and sails into sunset.

I am not blue-collar white, I am just white, high-professional.
And I will not vote for Obama in general.
Not only because I don't like him and consider him weak, untrustworthy, inecperienced person but also because I wan to show my protest agains horribly biased, proObama's media & DNC and also because don't want to be in company with Obamanians haters who floweded CNN comment blogs.
It's time for moderate prodemocratic minded people break with ultra left wing DNC and create new Democratic Conservative Party !

I'm going to the DNC website right now to change my PARTY affiliation. This is after a lifetime of being a democrat and voting democrat for the last 30 years. Pelosi and the DNC elite have deluded themselves in thinking that voters will NOT abandon them.

DUMP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW!!

"Hillary won consecutively Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvannia and now Indiana. Obama is expected to win both Indiana and North Carolina since February. But, Hillary won Indiana and cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% in spite of ad overspending by Obama."

Alfredo, please check your facts. Obama won Wyoming and Mississippi between Ohio and Pennsylvania. Also, calling Texas a win for Hillary is a bit questionable considering she lost the Caucus portion and Obama came out with more delegates over-all. At least don't include this in her string of "consecutive wins."

ferris_b   May 8th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

It is a shame that people take their civil responsibility so lightly. People need to get involved and get activated to correct perceived wrongs. Work to get your candidate elected. If they don't get elected then work harder next time to get them elected. I know I didn't work as hard as I could have to get my candidate elected, so next time I will work harder for the one I believe will do the best job as President/ Presidentress (coined by Europe during Mrs. Wilsons Presidency)...

Do we have the right to vote? Yes, but we also have the responsibility to vote. So while some on this list have so flagrantly decided not to vote they abandon their responsibilities as a citizen of the United States of America. I do not believe that we have the right NOT to vote.

If you do not want Barack or McCain... fine. Write in your own candidate, that's exactly what I would do if the candidate i wanted wasn't on the ticket. It would have the same effect but you wouldn't be leaving your responsibility to vote unfulfilled.

Get your candidate to run as a third party candidate if they are not nominated. Just stop complaining and saying you won't vote. The poor, women and people of color should NEVER say they won't vote as it took WAY too much blood, sweat and tears from our ancestors to ALLOW them to vote. So if you are one of the poor, female, or person of color, then it is even more important that you vote. It is the ONLY way the poor's voice will be heard as most other civil engagement avenues are locked.

I changed over from being a republican just this last year because the Bush administration is hypocritical in nature. Bush and Chenney have committed such heinous crimes against humanity.

I was very conservative but it doesn't make any sense to be conservative and run upon 'family values" as they have violated all values by killing the young both here and abroad.

McCain divorced his first wife when she was sick (cancer) so he could marry his current trophy. Where is the moral fortitude in that?

Gas prices not high enough for you?

Not enough kids getting blown to pieces in Iraq for you?

Not enough conservative judges on the supreme court for you?

You know, the next president will appoint at least two judges. If McCain is the president, you can say goodbye to Roe v. Wade.

Is that what you want?

Stop being stupid, all of you.

"Obama's attitude that he is already the nominee is very dismissive to the other half of the Democratic party that voted for Senator Clinton"

First off, if you actually listened to man you would know that today he dismissed ALL statements by pundits that he is already the nominee. Secondly, he has worked tirelessly in an effort to reach out to her base of blue collar workers! While, Hillary nor Bill are not making ANY effort to reach out to African Americans.

Your bias is making you ignorant, that is exactly what Hillary wants.

Dear DNC: I am a Floridian registered as a Democrat. I am college educated, MFA University of Miami, and a former Merchant Marine Officer. Than you allow the Republicans in Florida to cause all democratic votes not to count is one strike against the DNC. If Ms. Clinton, who seems able enough and has won in the Electoral College states – far better that Mr. Obama. If you shut the process down prior to the convention, and disallow Sen. Clinton her right to have a floor fight for the nomination, then I will certainly vote for McCain! As it stands in any rational mind, the order of preference is Sen. Clinton, then Sen. McCain, and the far third unknown Sen. Obama! I just thought you would like to know in advance.

Obama may very well win the primary, but he will have issues in Novemeber..

Obama may be more popular, a better speaker, and its obvious he has a fan base..But he is weak on issues.

Democrats need to take back the White House. Hillary Clinton is the best person to run against John McCain.

This has nothing to do with race or religion, and those critizing Clinton for her comments about White Americans are taking her words out of context.

This race is not over. Obama will not reach the 2025 needed. Hillary will not either. They have to address Florida and Michigan and then let all the states and territories vote. This is a democracy. Hillary Clinton still has a chance, and should not be counted out.

If democrats want the White House back, they need to go with experiance and a fighter.

Good luck Senator Clinton, you are one of America's greatest leaders.

Comedy Central   May 8th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

We all see the inevitable that Obama will be the Democratic candidate. He'll fair somewhere between McGovern and Mondale in the general. Sad that even after 8 years of GWB, we Dems wil still be unable to get one of our own in the White House.

As a lifelong Democrat I just cannot with a clear conscious vote for him and I do not want McCain. We do have an option though. Democrats who feel the way I do, have the right to a write-in ballot. We could make real history...first women president voted in via the write-in ballot.

Obama supporters can crush Clinton in November– after all, there are more of us.

But we won't. We care too much about our nation. We don't want more Karl Roves and Donald Rumsfelds, and we remember that John McCain smiled and blew out the candles of his birthday cake in Arizona with George Bush while nurses and doctors fought to save dying patients' lives in New Orleans.

That's what's at stake, not a bruised ego or hurtful word.

Join us, take back our country. Hillary will be a Democratic leader for decades, with or without the Presidency.

Obama is a fine candidate- but this primary was not a fair battle.

Some of us do not want to encourage fixed elections in the future, by voting the party line in Nov.

Jack   May 8th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Thank you. It is unfortunate that some talk about how Obama outspent Hillary in some state. Isn't that what you do in an election to win? Fortunately Obama had that resources to spend the money. Was he supposed to spend the same amount as her? He was in the race to win. She could have reached into her own pocket and spent more money. The reason she didn't was that she thought she had the presidency in her back pocket. The people she should be mad at is her staff. They led her on a path of no returns. Now she has to resort to tear the party down so that she can say I told you so. Everything she has done in the last month has been from the republican play book. Whose side is she really on. I also heard that one of her fund raisers threatened Nancy Pelosi. I don' t know if it is true but if it is, this primary season needs to come to an end immediately.

Chris NL   May 8th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I want to reply to:

"Go ahead- it's not Nov yet May 8th, 2008 4:41 pm ET"

- "Advantages for one, obstacles for the other. Media bias" – stupid reason, because both sides have gotten media bias and obstacles at some point in the election. For example the rev. wright issue or Bosnia etc...

- "Flawed caucus format" – stupid reason, you yourself have been voting using this format for a long time, if Hillary would have won the caucusses you would be praising the format.

- "Obama supporters using bully tactics at caucus" – stupid reason because I think both sides used bully tactics, maybe the Obama supporters a bit more, but still you can't blame the candidate for what his supporters do.

- "Obama with his gloating, cocky, arrogant mocking of Hillary with his Annie Oakley antics (while claiming he does not go negative)."- this may be a valid reason for you, because it is your opinion, but it is not a policy issue.

- "Obama with his ridiculing of Hillary by dismissively brushing her off his shoulder ( again, not negative? is this the uniter?)." – stupid reason because he was brushing her personal attacks on him, not hillary herself. You have to agree that she went more negative on him than vice versa at the debate.

- "And, of course the Fl and Mi fiasco. It is never good or right to disenfranchise your voter base." – your blaming obama for what the democrats did in those states?? This would have not been an issue if obama would have won those states.

Conclusion: you don't have a very good policy related issue, but you are just biased against obama. Please keep in mind that mccain is also not perfect and his policies are just another bush policy.

simond   May 8th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

the bottom line is we cannot disenfranchise both Michigan and Florida, two crucial swing states any democratic nominee desparately needs to win in the general election. And I know for a fact that if Obama is the nominee, he will lose those two states if he continues to disenfranchise the two states by purposely delaying and then rejecting the revote proposal previously presented by the DNC and the Hillary campaign

So Oregon for Clinton   May 8th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Hillary Clinton will be in my Oregon town tonight. I can't see her because of foot surgery.

What I want to tell her personally is that she has done an outstanding job as senator to New York State, that I admire her amazing work ethic, that her determination is a valuable quality, and that if she is not our Democratic candidate, that she earned my vote for 2012 if we need her.

I would not want her to diminish her standing in my eyes by becoming Obama's vice president. She deserves the presidency.

I hope Obama realizes that HE will be the president, not Michelle.

He can't even close the deal with his own party and they talk like he is going to run right to the W.H. He is going to lose and I bet he is going to lose big.

What has Obama done either than speak well. Please ,someone tell me! All I hear is that he is a uniter. No he is not, or he would have won everything hands down by now.

George, Los Angeles   May 8th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I will NOT be voting for Obama (or ANY Democrat) this November. I'm done with the Democratic Party. Goodbye and good riddence! Not another single penny from me!

I'm now joining my Republican family in their quest to elect John McCain for President. I've fought them for too long on behalf of the Democratic party. I now know that they were right – and I was wrong.

Republicans forever. Democrats in their stupidity guarantees it!

JC   May 8th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

McCain is not going to lose to you Obama because us real democrats are going to vote for McCain if you steal the nomination.

Did you see all the old white men flocked around obama this morning, i am sure some of them wet their pants just like gov. henry did

Maybe if we vote for McCain we can speed up the destruction of the US and its constitution. $8.50 gas!

David, Santa Rosa, CA   May 8th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Democrats unite! For better or worse, we have our candidate. It is time to start bashing the GOP and John McCain!

Sen. McCain is frightening. His ideas and politics are old school and archaic. We democrats need to accept what is and start moving forward to regain the White House and congress.

I think the obama fans should realize you can't win without us. The more you run your mouth on her the further you divide this party. Obama and clinton need to run together if they want to win. Now is the time to heal.

Hillary, please "obliterate" yourself !   May 8th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

Please go back home now.Atleast for your family.Fiinne that didnt work !

Best shot – Hillary, Bills cheating again !

Venus   May 8th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

To poster Alfredo and some of Hillary's other supporters!!!

Get a life! Hillary lost!

Hillary is a good person – but yet she is very nasty and bitter just like some of you!!! If more people really liked Hillary she would be ahead and not behind! She would have won more states and not 16!

If you Hillary supporters really like her – how come you let her down and she had to give herself a $15,000-million loan and how come you don't go help her with her un-paid bills for $15,000-million dollars?

I am glad we didn't have to count on you and that we don't NEED you now to try and bash us – winners are winners!

Go vote for Mc Cain – we and Obama will still win in Nov/08 and Nov/12!

Why don't you do us a favor and let us enjoy our joy and the love we have for the leader we have been supporting!

Go to Hillary's blog and get your hate off your chest on her site!

Jane,

You are perfectly correct. I am not American, don't have English as a first language, and not even all that pro-American, but I have followed your primaries very closely. Why? Barack Obama offers a message, policy content and symbolic value that no other american presidential candidate of recent memory has offered.
If it is a Clinton /McBush contest in the fall, your election loses its news-worthiness in my view.

fred   May 8th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Obama will never win in November!!

Go Hillary...if no Hillary, then McCain!!

Victor, NJ   May 8th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

I am watching Hardball on Msnbc and Chris Mattews is grilling Clinton campaign strategist Wolfson. This guy is delusional and think they still have a shot at winning. I guess what Richardson said about the Clintons thinking they are entitled to the white house holds true.

Go away   May 8th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

After all th crap of this primary, NO ONE will turn out to vote for ANY of the candidates.

Obama is the worst precisely because he pretended to be different from the rest.

you sound like the racist everyone thinks we all are. If he does become President of the United States he will be all of our president. Key word United. If you don't like it you need to leave. This is an always will be the melting pot and I for one am so glad that this country has change enough to have an African American president. That is why the man is campaigning on CHANGE!!

OBVIOUSLY THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!! CHANGE WITH THE REST OF US

In 90 days you will see the Nation move towards Obama. I'm a registered Republican but my vote will be for Obama!

I have had enough of George Bush and his Vise President (AKA... Puppet Master.)

Greg   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

To: Former Democrat

Please go to the other side and vote for John McCain...he will need your vote to win! George Bush III. $6.50 gas!

David, Santa Rosa, CA   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Democrats unite! For better or worse, we have our candidate. It is time to get beyond the internal bickering and Obama/Clinton bashing and start bashing the GOP and John McCain!

Sen. McCain is frightening. His ideas and politics are old school and archaic. We democrats need to accept what is and start moving forward to regain the White House and congress.

Dems 08'

Corey   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Many polls have shown Hillary is beating McCain in crucial swing states such as Ohio and Florida while Obama is behind McCain. Isn't this what this race is about, who can best beat McCain in the general election? Who cares if Obama won another red republican states like North Carolina or Mississippi since the republicans are going to win anyway since they will outnumber the democrats in those states in the fall. For the democrats, winning Ohio, Florida and PA are much bigger wins than winning North Carolina and Mississippi.

emmett jones   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

I am voitng Mccain

Isaac   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

When did Hillary supporters lose their democratic principals. Vote McCain? Is it so personal that you people suddenly don't care about health care and the war. You will sentence more of our young people to death in Iraq because your candidate didn't get the nomination? You will all have blood on your hands. Do you really want Supreme Court justices put in place pushing conservative agendas. All because YOUR candidate isn't going to get the nomination. Quit making emotional decisions and really look at the situation. I caucused for Obama, but will vote Hillary if she wins the nomination because I want what is best for this nation, a DEMOCRAT in the White House.

Graduate Student   May 8th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Obama's boast of being the uniter turned out to be exemplary of his entire campaign- all talk...politics as usual.. pandering and lies... negativity and hate.

Ostriches burying our heads in the sand   May 8th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Yay! Another super!

I am posting this part of the comment here because the other blog is closed!

Hillary has the gall to send that letter to Barack asking for FL and MI to be seated almost blaming him for the mess, yet her campaign rejects the proposal that was floated today by the Michigan Dems which would give her 10 delegates more than her opponent! All the Michigan Dems interviewed said that it was a fair proposal and based on what the media has been saying the Obama camp would have accepted it! Talk about doublespeak. I try my best to like her but this kind of behavior makes me sick!!!!

Former Democrat   May 8th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Mr. Obama will never win in November. All of his cult followers are helping push many many Democrats to the other side. You are not doing your candidate a favor with all of your rude dillusional comments. Most of you just need to go back to your dorm and try and figure out how to buy your next six pack while the rest of us try and figure a way to get Mr. Obama back to Chicago for good.

Pasteur Yves Jean Louis   May 8th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Barack Obama has shown far more vision than Hillary Clinton. As a Frenchman who lived in Ohio for 8 years, I can tell you that you are lucky to have a man of that value to be your next President for your great country. Please get united to make him one of the best of the US President in History. He will do a great job for you, I believe, But it's you who vote. Hillary should stop talking about racial votes. You are all americans and it is your strength as it has always been ever since United Sates of America existed.

greenfun   May 8th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Obama's attitude that he is already the nominee is very dismissive to the other half of the Democratic party that voted for Senator Clinton. I guess he doesn't think he needs the votes of Clinton supporters. He has also blocked a re-vote in Fl. I guess he doesn't need the voters in FL either. We are pretty tired of Obama's efforts to end this primary prematurely. I think it is very shortsighted of Obama and superdelegates to not respect Senator Clinton and her extremely loyal supporters. They will need us if they expect to have a Democrat in the White house. We have already endured relentless media bias and vile behavior from Obama supporters. Most of are not in the mood to support Obama, so perhaps the Democratic party had better start thinking about how to start including the entire Democratic party.

You are right, we WILL teach the DNC and obamalovers in Nov. I have been voting for the DNC since I could vote, but not this time. I know that a lot of people will do the the same.

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

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

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

It is that simple.

Desmond Sequeira   May 8th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

An objective view from Canada: Way to go, Rep. Brad Miller. Now ALL Superdelegates need to be enlightened and declare for OBAMA.

This is not rocket science, either mathematically or using the criteria of Integrity, Grasp of issues, Competence, Magnanimity, Ability to unify and lead, etc. In short, using any criteria for a successful President.
The USA needs OBAMA. The world needs OBAMA

makad   May 8th, 2008 5:10 pm ET

Emily Coletta – Do the math. 267-259=8

You got so caught up in the Clinton gas tax relief (oops what gas tax relief, she's still campaigning and can't even implement it) that you lost count. But don't believe me, believe 200 economist.

Come over to Obama, we'll help you.

So many super-delegates have been backstabbers.
Clinton still has more than Obama.
All America needs their votes counted.
Let the process continue.
(just maybe Obama's team want a quick close before something else negative comes out about the media darling)
Obamas song: "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way".
Nobody has worked harder for the democratic party, over the years, than the Clintons. Whether Mrs. C wins the primary or not, she will work her bu** off for the Democratic Party and Mr. O.
BTW...don't forget how hard the Clintons have worked for equal rights for everyone.

Something is basicaly wrong with that.... And I really don't want a leader that attacts this type metality....

Typical Sexist   May 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

What Rep. Miller meant to say was "Senator Clinton" understands that she has the chance not just to win the election this year, but to be a great president." Obama lacks the experience to understand anything. He changed nothing in Illinois and will change nothing as a President, should he become one. Woman should take note that when all these men dismiss what Hillary can and would do, when they write her off as just some woman, they are sending a clear message to all woman that you should be barefoot and pregnant; that women should always be two steps behind a man; and that women should never be ambitious or want to accomplish anything; that women should be happy serving their man. Women need to speak out against this kind of sexism. It unbelievable that women do not want to see a woman as President? What do you tell your daughters when they ask if they can be anything they want?

BurgundyandGold   May 8th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Hey Go Ahead
Unless you are a complete idiot you will realize that Michigan and Florida were not disenfranchised by Obama or the DNC. They were screwed out of their vote by the moronic Gov. Granholm and the dullard Gov Christ. If the residents of Fl and Mich had any sense they would not reelect any of those scumbags who decided that they would ignore the rules and put the votes of the people at risk.

Alfredo   May 8th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Hillary won consecutively Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvannia and now Indiana. Obama is expected to win both Indiana and North Carolina since February. But, Hillary won Indiana and cut Obama's lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% in spite of ad overspending by Obama.

Wake up superdelegates!

Obama's top ten lists should be:
1. I won North Carolina. Oops, Hillary won Indiana even I overspent in ads (which I should have won), Pennsylvannia, Texas, and Ohio consecutively. I can fool the superdelegates anyway.
2. Wright told America I'm just a Politician. Oops...that is true.
3. I'm so eloquent...oops my writer wrote it.
4. This is my economic plan...oops I forgot to ask my advisers first and I'm waiting for Hillary's lead. I don’t want to be a Flip Flop on issues again.
5. Let's stick to the actual issue..oops, Michelle and Caroline should say that at CNN..
6. Come on Hillary's defectors and join me...oops do you think you can fool me I will defect also after I win and resurrect my loyal friends Wright, Rezco, and Ayers
7. Bitter and clinging – oops those are not in my dictionary, oops I got it from Wright. Wher are my advisers? I do not know what to say.
8. Yeah, Wright mocked the Americans and I will lie by saying what he said is offensive….remember I'm a politician.
9. I'm electable…oops Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date that are crucial in November. Anyway, I fooled the superdelegates including the traitors.
10. Vote for Hillary...oops vote for me.

Before you can have CHANGE, we first need SOLUTIONS and that is HILLARY.
Michelle even brought Caroline with her. You can not fool us anymore. You are just all Politicians. Obama, Wright, Rezco and Ayers are all a disgrace to all American. After bitter remarks by Obama and Wrights mocking the American, then let's just forget about it. Yeah right. If this happened with Hillary for sure you are all jumping for joy. You can not fool us anymore and stop the lies...lies...lies...

Shame on those superdelegates that support Obama. They only think of their personal interest. If Obama wins, it will only be a repeat of Bush administration (a trainee who doesn't know what to do until he asks his advisers first). Wake up superdelegates!

Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date than Obama that are crucial in November. Wake up superdelegates.

Undecide   May 8th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

I don't know why Michigan and Florida didn't count. The goverment used our tax money to set up the vote. We spent our time to go to vote. Now they want to waste it. If there was violated the law, it should be stoped before its happened. Beside, why did Senate. Obama withdraw his name on the list when those states are key states to win in GE? and there would be unfair to Senate Hillary when she put her time and money to these states for nothing. doesn't the Democrat party care and want Florida and Michigan's voters?

Steve   May 8th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

Yes Sir. Thanks for all superdeligates who believe in Obama and Democratic Party. This country has to go in different direction and Obama will do that. Clintons have lost and this is the legacy of Bill, very disrespective person. Clintons inject so much hate politics and the results we see now. The superdeligates have to join Obama as soon as possible to show solidarity and strength. I argue all leaders of the party to do so and work hard to take back the promising hope of this world.

Biff, Biffington – if it's any consolation, I'd be very interested to read your post explaining why blacks vote in a united fashion.

Not that I agree with the premise, since I think it's racist to vote for someone based on the color of their skin, as opposed to trying to understand the issues and debates.

But I'd be curious to see your take on it. Hopefully, some day, Race won't be a factor that contributes to how somebody votes.

Al, CA   May 8th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

I had unsigned from any emails from Barbara Boxer, CA senator, and will not sign anything for her anymore.
Boxer, as superdelegate, supported Hillary – a candidate that is guilty in launching Iraq war. That does it. A senator that had signed 'yes' at that time, like Hillary did, should not run ever for an office.

Seth   May 8th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Obama supporters: Everyone needs to play nice now. We need to unite the party. Take the high road. Embrace Hillary's supporters. We need to beat McCain, and we can't do it unless we are UNITED!

No way to unity   May 8th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

It is too late to unify the party.

Too much anti-Hillary hate from Obama supporters.

Too much cocky, boasting, mocking, jeering, arrogance evident from Obama that made a lie of his campaign platform.

And the coup de tat- denouncing Rev Wright for political posturing. Many of us saw that as proving Wright's point- Obama is the typical politician doing whatever it takes to win.

So what is new... what is change... what is different about that?

If Hillary is out of the race, I am out of voting for the democrats. This was the best candidate for the job. No question about it.

pls post my comments!!!

Ottilia   May 8th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Les,

I think you have it all wrong because I believe Bush's administration hurt everyone including republicans of all colors who make less than $75K a year nevermind the Dems. So for you to think Obama will be a Pres only for blacks you're 50 yrs behind and need to learn more about the man himself and look past his color because he's going to represent you past your color whether you vote for him or not - WAKE UP!!!!

Thank you Miller for supporting President Obama - a CHANGE has COME!! This is what MLK was dreaming about!!! A change for all Americans of all backgrounds and color!!! OBAMA '08 & '12

Alao Alan   May 8th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Without doubt Mrs Clinton is so much engrosed in self fulfilment that she is blind to the fact that she is can no longer win.

The best people that can advice her to drop out is President Bill and Chelsea.

She must be feeling the pain now that people are now throwing the same kitchen sinks she threw at her opponent back at her.

She should take a graceful exit before a disgraceful one comes knocking on her door.

Now more than ever before judgement and NOT experience is what she needs most.

Festus Elleh   May 8th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

It is not about the age of Metusela, it is about the wisdom of Solomon. It does not take longetivity or old age to be a great President, it takes wisdom and judgement. Great minds are made and require minimum training to function greatly. Someone is going around confusing people.

Thank you sir! You've done the right thing. Senator Barack Obama will make a great president.

I applaude your actions and admire the way that Obama is handling things. I hope Senator Clinton can see that far from trying to "stop the election" we, the people – the majority, simply want the healing process to begin.

We don't want to stop the primaries at all. Go ahead with them. But mathematically, it will not change anything when it comes to results. However, we hope that the remaining states express their wishes, their hopes, their concerns with their votes.

We know that Obama will listen to that and bring those people into the fold so that the Democratic party can move onward and upward to win the general election.

No more war. No more special interests. No more corporate greed. One America for all the people.

YES, WE CAN.

TIMBER   May 8th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain. They are SO happy that he may be the nominee they can't stand it! So much ammunition to throw at him for the general election. It really saddens me though, I really can't stand another four years of republicans. Especially since they will pay no attention to global warming and the environment. Very sad, this was our chance and we blew it.

Let's pray that Obama gets the nomination, and then pray even harder that he loses the national election. He is NOT qualified to be President of the United States–doesn't even understand the common men and women of this country.
As for Hillary–I'll be so glad to see her phony mug gone from the national news.

Paul WV   May 8th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Clinton supporters who say they are democrats, yet wont vote for Obama when he runs in November....

Come on, it's time to swallow your pride and stop being
sore "losers"! its foolish..

we need to Unite for the sake of the party! it would be worse
to "Lose" to McCain.. lets have a bit of pride

DEMOCRATS 08! UNITE!

Phil from Boston, MA   May 8th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

...but Obama hasn't ignored "the side of powerful economic interests" either.

Pascal from Switzerland   May 8th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Why is it that almost every superdelegate who picks Obama has to mention in the second sentence how Hillary run an impressive campaign? I saw nothing interessting in her campaign!

Wilmoth Nichols   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

I have read that the price of oil is tied to the dollar because it is traded on the markets based on the dollar, and I have also read that the horrendously high price of oil is because our dollar is weak, due to the horrendously huge debt our nation has. The debt continues to grow, our dollar continues to shrink and we need to get someone in the White House in 2009 who can put us on a road to solvency. I don't think that a third term for George Bush (via John McCain) is the answer to our growing national debt problem.
We need a Democrat in the White House and a Democrat Cabinet at his side. We need President Barak Obama

lip   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Congratulations Senator Obama...
Just finished reading Senator Clinton's letter concerning thos eunseated delegates in Michigan and Florida. This letter has no solution other than to distract the American public from the truth. It is an attempt to force Senator Obama to spend his valuable time defending himself while she spends her time attempting to look Presidential.
Senator Clinton is very good at misdirection. This does not qualify her for President. It only qualifies her for the job of "desperado". Is this what we want in the White House?

A.M. Saqib   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Thank you Rep. Brad Miller; Hillary Clinton indeed ran a well deserved tough compaign and showed all of us how dedicated a person is she. By the same token, as democrat I am proud to say that our nominee 'Barak Obama' will be the best president of United States of recent history.

Obama will unite the nation, let alone the democratic party.

I think its time for Hillary supporters to switch over to vote for McCain. It's time we destroy Obama in NOvember for our revenge.

Jon, MI   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

In 2000 we got Mr. Uniter not a Divider who had only ever been a governor of Texas.

And 8 years later we get. . . another neophyte promising to bring us all together.

This isn't change, it's rhetoric.

Jody Monroe   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

BABY BOOMER ALERT: It's time for you baby boomers (Hillary & her crew) to sit down and shut up. You've had 40 years to improve the world. Now it's a huge mess... So now Generation X and Y will have to clean up behind you guys. Get a life!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Please don't bash Hillary, she is still a democrat and has vowed to support the party as we all must do. Please don't bash Hillary.

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 8th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Welcome aboard a winning campaign!

In the words of a great American leaders: YES WE CAN!

Dell, Laurel, MD   May 8th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Poor, Poor Hillary. She is so desperate and pathetic. It's like a great athlete refusing to hang it up. She gets more and more desperate by the day. Like the letter appealing to Obama for the MI and FL votes...so very pathetic and a last ditch at stiring up controversy. I am so proud to have Obama as our next President. He is so on another level. GO OBAMA!!!!

A.K.   May 8th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Oh, Les, don't forget he's the president of us young, college-educated whites.

Anita from Arizona   May 8th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Mr. Miller is doing what a superdelegate should do. The will of the people. Congrads to you, have a seat and enjoy the ride to the White House.
Yes We Can!!

Roger   May 8th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

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

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

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

Thank You, Brad!   May 8th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Thank you very much. It's time to move on to the main event.

Angel for Obama   May 8th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

This is great news for the Obama camp only 8 more super del's to tie Clinton "Yes we Can"

"Obama 08 enough said"

Kristina   May 8th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Go ahead- it's not Nov yet

You're another one that REAL democrats will have to brush off OUR shoulders too. Have to see you go, but if you must.....close the door behind you.

deb   May 8th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO KENTUCKY OR WEST VIRGINIA. I THOUGHT EVERY STATE MATTERED TO HIM. EVEN IF CLINTON GETS THE WIN IN EACH STATE. HE SHOULD NOT STOP TRYING TO ATLEAST CLOSE THE GAP.

DOUBTING THOMAS   May 8th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

THE TIDAL WAVE OF SUPER DELEGATES, WILL SOON TURN INTO A TSUNAMI. HEAD FOR THE HILLS BILLARY, BEFORE YOU GET SWEPT AWAY.

Raymond J. Ryan   May 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

We have suffered eight years of what history will adjudge a period of trickery and deceit by oligarchs slick in operation and small of stature. Today, the five time military deferment VP of America gives the Commencement address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. What an outrage against the families of earlier graduates who came home to America in caskets.
My prayer is that Sen. Obama will not disappoint those who feel as i do that "Comes the Hour, Comes the Man" This is one of America's perilous hours- God willing, he is the man. Ray Ryan, Essex, Ct.

Unified Democratic Party 2008   May 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Hillary Clinton supporters:

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

Danny,IA   May 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Brad Miller is another rep who has no substance. You are a newcomer and you can support Barack but both of you are not fit to govbern our country. please go into the wild.... Get lost

Obama '08   May 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Wow Les... show your true ignorance. Don't hold anything back now...!

christine   May 8th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

welcome to the obama movement good news all these supers need to decide now, they are now the ones that a causing the divisions on this party

American Supporter for OBAMA   May 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

OMG...there are now only 8 superdelegates between Obama and Hillary. This man is closing the gap in all categories. I could be my imagination but most of the superdelegates that have come out lately have been white men correct? Not sure what Hillary is talking about. Obama gets suppport from ALL people across the board!!!

Kristina   May 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Let's get this show on the road!
Obama!

mitchell from arkansaw   May 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

WOOHOOOOO!!

Obama '08   May 8th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Wow Les – show your true ignorance. Don't hold anything back now...!

Ben   May 8th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Hillary made a statement saying "White America" will vote for her. I'm a White American but standing with the obvious winner of the nomination Barack Obama. Statements like this is why I hope the Super Delegates get a spine such as Brad Miller and put an end to Hillary's negative undertones by pledging to the clear winner of this nomination Barack Opama. This is the one thing that the Democrats fail to do, take a chance and stand up for what is right. This race needs to stop being about Hillary and be about winning the General Election in November. Obama supporters should make their cases to their representives directly to stop the negativity Hillary is creating in her desperation to win the nomination. The math already clearly shows that she can't win and in fact has already lost.

NickNas   May 8th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

When the lead is lost in SDs Hillary had better quit. I can no longer pretend to have any repect for her as a person, politician or Woman. This mornings lowerst of lowpoints that even CNN has not brought up again even after they published her race baiting comments is unforgivable. Hear that Hillary I don't care if you cure cancer you are done with my household at the very least.

BIFF, BIFFINGTON...   May 8th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

CNN...
amazing... you let THIS idiot's comments post....

Les
All his hot air speeches? President of whom? Blacks most certainly….everyone else I dont think so.

BUT LITERALLY 'PULL' MY POST OFF EXPLAINING 'WHY' BLACKS VOTE IN A UNITED FASHION... SURVIVAL...

but please.. don't le me stop your bias....

Grant   May 8th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I think tomorrow will be a good day for him...they really want to head to WVA with the lead in Super Delegates......Not really sure why the remaining Supers are fence sitting though...the race is over. Although, I am sure the Clintons are blowing the entire $6.4M they loaned on investigators to dig up dirt, or just make up stuff on Obama.....She is going to go for the kill within 10 days, this will get real nasty, the Supers can end this now......like was said before, only the Dems could screw this up....what are they waiting for? More fake scandals to divide the party further....END IT

Amanda   May 8th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I think that this is a very appropriate decision.

Keep 'em coming.

Obama 08!

Yes we can!!!

sacto joe   May 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Hillary Clinton has decided to focus on the color of Barak Obama's skin, and ignore the incredible person who inhabits that skin. She's gone of the deep end, and will soon disappear from sight. Too bad. Until she did that, I thought she might make a good VP choice.

Barak needs to look at other women for that spot now.

melikeyhill   May 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

yeah when 90% blacks voted for bill clinton and defended him during the lewinsky mess no one cried racism , now the tables are turned hillary cries wolf!!! could it be that blacks actually like obama just like they loved her husband bill??? hmmmmmm

Xango   May 8th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Lets get the USA back on top of the world where we should be!! Obama for President!!!

yes WE can!!!

yeah yeah   May 8th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Feel good Obama...
Then lose in Nov.

marie   May 8th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

It is my understanding that superdelegates were created so that the Democratic Party would never again choose a nominee for the presidency who could not win in the general election. This year, I know the decision will be especially difficult. But if logical minds prevail, then superdelegates must look at the electoral vote-rich, swing states, not who won in Iowa or N.C. Polls will tell you which candidate can win against Sen McCain. If Hilllary is the candidate, she will win the Centrist vote, Obama will not. Obama needs to explain these realities to his base. If not, we are destined, as Democrats to lose, once again.

Tim in NC   May 8th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

And the people's voices are heard!

See Mich and Fla, this is what happens when you play by the rules.

Another one with the good sense to finally see the writing on the wall. Welcome aboard the Obama Express!! Keep'em coming! Hillary, you get back in spades what you dish out; welcome to some cold crow and hot pain sauce!
Aaaaaand let the disheartened, disillusioned Clinton supporters start the "Judas" hating in 3, 2, 1....

OBAMA 2008

Moe   May 8th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Go Obama. You have run your campaign with dignity, honor, and integrity - even during the rough smears of the other candidates. I trust more and more superdelegates are beginning to take notice.

BOB   May 8th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Thank you, Brad for your thoughtful move. Pls also talk to your other as yet Undeclared Super Friends to come out in support of OBAMA.

By continuing this race, Hillary is fast sealing off any remaining hope for her to still be relevant in the DEM Party after OBAMA becomes president. SHE SHOULD KNOW THIS!

Karen   May 8th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

It is a mistake for superdelegates to wait.

GB   May 8th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Good decision! Keep 'em coming. The sooner the superdelegates all come off the fence and support Obama, the sooner we can heal the party and move ahead to the White House.

Nando, Florida   May 8th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

BARAK JUST IGNORE HILLARY SHE WILL JUST GO AWAY YOU WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08,12

DEMS UNITE AROUND OUR LEADER!!!!!!

SLO Bear   May 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Such courage may prevent Clinton and other forces of the status quo (Reid, Feinstein, and Pelosi–unless they reverse recent actions) from doing irreparable damage to the party, and by corollary, the country.

Leah DiMarco, Texas   May 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Just say NO to McBush!
No more war!
No more Bush policies!
No more lobbyists!
No more secrets and lies!
No more Bush/Clinton/Clinton/Bush!

munkii   May 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

everybody relax, it'll be over soon..

Rich   May 8th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Hmmm, I watch the delegate count a bit more than is probably healthy. I've noticed that sometimes it changes dramatically with no news and other times one super-delegate makes the news. Is it that some are more forward about why they chose who they chose?

Cathy   May 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

YAHOO!
GO OBAMA,GO!!!

Go ahead- it's not Nov yet   May 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

In Nov- many of us lifelong democrats will not vote for Obama on principle.

The DNC and democratic party elites fixed this primary for Obama. They did everything short of actually pushing Hillary from the race. The pro-Obama support and bias was evident, while the gender hatred was viewed as acceptable- even funny.

The caucus format is undemocratic and flawed and clearly advantaged Obama- and also allowed Obama supporters to cheat.

Fl and Mi were not in play- again, advantage Obama, disadvantage Clinton.

So many of us will not encourage more of the same in future primaries by ultimately voting for the party nominee (Obama). We will protest the corruption and unfairness with our vote in Nov.

PA Obama Supporter   May 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Obama 08

tell the truth   May 8th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Give me one to two SD a day Obama.

Face the facts Obama has won

Please vote with facts in Nov

Go Obama

hmmmmm.....sounds fishy   May 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

keep em coming

Ratgurl   May 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Welcome, Mr. Miller!

Emily Coletta   May 8th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

OMG, that means Obama's only 10 superdelegates behind Clinton. WATCH him close the gap in a week, I bet you anything.

honkey white guy from cali   May 8th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

welcome aboard! Everyone is welcome and excepted in the Obama campaign! Hillary supporters Mc Cain supporters,White,Black, Hispanic,Gay,Straight, everyone just like in America they are all welcome with open arms to rebuild and reunite these divided states of America!

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

Jack, Chapel Hill, NC   May 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Thank you Rep. Miller! God bless you and God bless America!

Obama '08

Dexter   May 8th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

'm sick of seeing people say, "If not Hillary – I will vote for McCAIN!!!!"

What's wrong with you people?

Gas prices not high enough for you?

Not enough kids getting blown to pieces in Iraq for you?

Not enough conservative judges on the supreme court for you?

You know, the next president will appoint at least two judges. If McCain is the president, you can say goodbye to Roe v. Wade.

Is that what you want?

Stop being stupid, all of you.

Lauren-Colorado   May 8th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Welcome!!!

Obama '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony Z- MD   May 8th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Thank you. One more step closer to the nomination.

Go ahead- it's not Nov yet   May 8th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

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

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

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

It is that simple.

Keith R.   May 8th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

One step closer to sealing the deal!

Democrats Rule   May 8th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Welcome aboard the Obama train. Thank you and bless you.

Venus   May 8th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

YES! YES! YES!

Thank you! Go Obama!

This is the plan so it doesn't make Hillary look bad!!!

President of the Unite States of America....... President Obama!

Stacy Clarks   May 8th, 2008 4:38 pm ET
