CNN

I think republicans are posing as Hillary supporters on these postings in order to help McCain. They're saying to write in Clinton if she doesn't get the nomination. That way McCain surly wins. I hope Hillary supporters don't fall for this.

Fran, I take it you are one of Hillary's 'feminist' supporters who would vote for any woman on the ticket and who would rather slash and burn the country and its citizens' future if Hillary isn't the Democratic nominee. I have great hope that the remainder of women in the country won't follow your lead . . . and instead choose to use their intellect when voting.

If Democrats vote for McBush because their candidate did not get the Democratic nomination, then you find a way to sleep at night knowing you got Roe V Wade overturned and women are dying via back alley terminations like the old days. Suck it up! MBush is much worse and you know it.

If hillary won the nomination then she has no choice but to accept Obama has her VP but Obama is free to chose who ever he wants. I hope he chooses Joe Biden a person with Vast Foreign Policy Experience and will kill the Rupublicans arugment in the Fall.

Obama should have the privilege of choosing his on VP – someone that can unify the party without being too far to the left. A moderate or conservative democrat that attracts Clintons demographics would be best.

It may not be the best ticket evr but may be pragmatic tough.

She has had some experience that may prove useful, who knows.

Go Obama go!!!

Obama can 08!

t's just been reported that Hillary Clinton has been having an affair for the last 8 years..The clinton campaign is just now starting to put the spin on this story, but it just won't die. expect to hear about this on every news cycle by the end of the week…

mccain 08

Hillary is not running for VP! She is running for the top job–did this man not know that? What an idiot. Another nervous democrat that is not sleeping at night for fear he will wake up and Hillary will be ahead! Just take a tranquilizer, Dodd, you look like you need it!

lets face it. if hillary is not the dems nominee then her base will turn on the party. Look at the poles. over 40 percent of her base wil either vote for McCain or just stay home. Also the the green party will have their own person up on the ticket. that will take votes away from Nobama.
He is not electable period,

if i can not vote for hillary then i will look forward to having a old man in the white house.
McCain 08
Hillary 12

I submitted a commnet earlier and it went something like this. The pig in the pantsuit is roasted. Please stick a fork in her, she is DONE!

Ü HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!!!!!! Ü HILLARY SUPPORTERS!!!!!!!

IF YOU WANT TO SUPPORT JOHN MCCAIN, NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU, YOU CAN WRITE HILLARY CLINTON ON THE BALLOT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU PLEASE, IT STILL WOULDN"T MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, WE ARE TIRED OF YOU ALL SCREAMING WE WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN NOT OBAMA ( SO WHAT ) IF MCCAIN WINS AND YOU RECEIVE A LETTER IN THE MAIL SAYING PACK YOUR BAGS YOU HAVE TO GO TO IRAQ THEN THATS YOUR FAULT AND IF YOU WERE SOME KIND OF SUPPORTER THEN HILLARY WOULDN"T HAVE TO LOAN HER CAMP ANY MONEY ( DO WHATS RIGHT SEND HILLARY SOME MONEY TO GET OUT OF DEBT ) AND STOP COMPLAINING, INSTEAD OF LEAVING OBAMA SUPPORTERS HATE MESSAGES GO TO HILLARYdotCOM AND HIT THE CONTRIBUTION TAB AND HELP OUT WITH HER DEBT HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL TEE TEE ON YOU AND TELL YOU IT"S RAINING IT"S 2 THINGS PEOPLE HATE 2 SEE FALL FROM THE SKY AND THATS BIRD POOP & UNEDUCATED SUPPORTERS !!!!!!!!!!!

And another thing, to those who say that Hillary is going to be the nominee, please look at the numbers and then try and say that with a straight face.

It is not even mathematically possible anymore for her to be the nominee.

Dodd is indeed correct.

I believe it would be suicide if Obama took on Clinton has his VP. She will undermine him and we cannot have the commander in chief undermined by his second in command.

To those who ostricize him and telling him to shut up, welcome to America. Home of FREE SPEECH! I know this has been a heated campaign and both sides have hurled insults at eachother but they really do not serve anything.

BOTH SIDES ARE GUILTY OF THIS!!

United We Stand and Divided We Fall.

who would want her?

Hey H...

A lot of us Obama supporters that wont support Hillary... Well that's because we are Republicans. Obama is the only candidate since Reagan or Kennedy that can truly reach across the aisle and get things done. There are a lot of things in Obama's platform that I disagree with; however, I believe him. I don't think he's just telling folks what they want to hear, I think he tells us what he truly believes. I'll take that any day over smoke being blown up my back side...

I went to the store the other day to by a wind vain... they said they were out, but had some nice Clinton's that did the same thing... Don't buy the BS...

its over
the priority has to be focusing on november now or we will all end up with President McBush

I hope not! They would be the Felix and Oscar of politics! Hillary has more than burned that bridge!

let me just say one very important thing:

democrats who will rather vote for mccain than clinton or obama (depending on who their personal favorit is) are even more stupid and more ignorant than the fundamentalist bush voters ....

come on people ... get past your private little whos-best-games and do what will be best for this country ... and this will be a DEMOCRATIC president!!!!!!

Obama & His Campaign Would Like An Early Clocse To This historic Primary .... They What Us To Beleive They Have Won ..... Truth Is They Haven't ... Hillary Has The Edge Now , And can Win The Primary !!

The fact is millions of Democrats feel exactly like I do, that is why Obama hasn't been able to seal the deal, even after outspending Hillary 4 to 1 state after state.

If all the Wright, Rezko, Ayers issues had been released prior to February ....Obama would of already been out of the race.

However, all those states will get a chance to re-vote again in November and they will remember how Obama was a fraud and misrepresented himself and they are going to VOTE NO OBAMA

To Hugh in Canada:
I do not believe she can run as an Independent based on some things in here that I have read(from some with actual knowledge).
Unlike yourself I think Hillary would be DOA as an Independent since her negative ratings are 62%. She galvanizes Republicans against her like no other person in the US. This is precisely the reason that Obama cannot pick her as a VP, it would be a devastating mistake!
I don't know how many features you have seen or read concerning the Republicans' preparedness to fight Hillary in a General, but they are/were substantial and elaborate!
Obama has changed all that and now they are scrambeling to package a "Swift Boat" just for him. They will not be able to package very much on him other than Wright and Ayers, which in my opinion are very lame issues.

I was starting to come around to an Obama – Clinton ticket UNTIL her statements this week about "hard working american -white americans" Hilary Clinton will stop at nothing in her pursuit for power even to DIVIDE the Democratic Party.

I don't want her on the ticket as our VP, she's done everything in her power to inject race into this process. I voted for President Clinton twice, and thought seriously in the beginning to support Sen. Clinton but after looking at all of the candidates positions on the issues....Sen. Obama had the best plans for our country.

I would rather have Bill Richardson, Ted Strickland, Ed Rendel, Sam Nunn on the ticket. If not for the help of Rush Limbaugh and his listeners in TX. and Indiana....Hilary would've been out of the race now. She has an $ – 11 million campaign debt and GROWING.
I just hope she pays the small business owners that the Clinton Campaign has stiffed payment in the states she has campaigned in.

Obama 08!!!

I became an Obama supporter several months ago, after reading and comparing the policies of each candidate. I simply like his approach better.

However, I often cringe when reading the comments made by other Obama supporters on CNN. You know that's not the kind of language Barack Obama stands for. Let's grow up.

I hope CNN posts this.

"I'll modify it for Dems" You had me excited for a moment. I thought finally a Clinton supporter was going to justify not voting for the Democratic nominee in Nov because the choice lost with a real substansive answer. However you just embarked on the same hate driven rhetoric toward Sen Obama like everyone else. Please tell us what policy differences you disagree with, and why you think Mccain would be better? I think its sad that Obama can't even enjoy his victory because of sore loosers. He is winning fair and square. He has nothing to do with MI, and FL. Those states didnt want to follow the same rules as everyone else. They were penalized, such is life. I teach my kids if you dont follow the rules and you get caught your in trouble. I guess you and many Clinton supporters feel cheated some how because of this. I hope you guys teach your kids stronger values than "its ok to break the rules as long as it helps you win" I'm glad to say the canidate I voted for has stronger moral beliefs than that.

Chris Dodd is wrong about everything else, otherwise HE'd be the nominee!

I think Obama should be president, Hillary should be VP, and McCain should be Secretary of State.

Surely a Democrat not voting for a Democratic presidency is very small minded. Thats the problem with American politics, its all about the individual, and not about the policies or what the party stands for.

Get that woman a Valium. Better yet call 911.
Obama/Napolitano '08

Why would Obama choose his second place to be a person who does not have confidence that he can do the job. She would be like a nagging mother in law for the entire term of office. She would probably even undermine him , given the chance , so she could say "I told you so."

We already know that they hold similar positions on many issues. But we also know that they operate differently. Obama operates with honor and dignity regardless of the stakes, while Clinton will do anything and say anything to meet her objectives. She is very cut throat. That type of attitude is why America is no longer respected in the world.

An Obama presidency would restore America's political respect in this world.

Maybe,I think that Hillary supporters should revisit Obamas statement about being bitter.Obama is right on the money from the blogs from hillary supporters I am reading.Hillary supporters are mad,angry,bitter,and hateful and we should not forget vengeful.Tell me I am not telling the truth,just prove me wrong.By simply voting for your parties nominee whoever it be,especially when they win by playing by the rules,fair and square.

Obama-Edwards in 2008!

We need real change in Washington and McCain and Clinton are more of the same old people who have been there for 20+ years.

you uneducated americans! i know hilary has your vote but do the math for once. She can not win. What she is praying for is for Obama to come out of the closet and say " Media you were right! i am a secret muslim and i will enslave the white race."

Do you see how much of a hail marry that is?

Obama will unite the democrats, Its only a matter of time. If you decide to vote for McCain. That is your choice to be "bitter" about the primarys.

I will always be for Hillary since she started her campaign and never waivered. Those switching alliances are plain stupid. They vote the way they vote like ala American Idol. I am not voting against Barack because he is black. The country is dealing with too many problems and the guy is a neophyte, and to just give it to Barack will worsen the state of affairs. If you think he's going to change Washington, you all are dreaming. Nothing will change in Washington. I share one sentiment from a Hillary supporter. He says it all:

--
At this point, the way a former First Lady, and President, has been treated disgracefully by ungrateful democrats, and nasty journalists…forgetting that Clinton was the only successful Democrat in the last 60 years.The McCain jump is not a bluff. I am a lifelong democrat and have already contributed to McCain’s campaign. The Democrats are becoming a bunch of nasty, traitorous, turncoats. McCain and the Republican Party is beginning to look like a breath of fresh air.

John Edwards shares Obama's philosophy and style...and Joe Biden is boring but a really good choice (probably for a more "grown up" country than we have now).
Bill Richardson, not bad, but not so good at debate which is important for a public position.
I can't wait to find out the vp for Obama.
It really can't be Hillary. Even though they are so close on the issues, they are sooo different in manner and style. I think they would argue too much to get anything done (even though they would both want it done).
And both try to outshine each other.

It is time for healing and time to move on. We need to united and not be divided.

Hillary has lost this race and it is time for Democrats to rally behind our nominee, Barack Obama. Focus on defeating McCain, ending the war, protecting a woman's right to choose, restoring integrity back to the White House, rebuilding the image of the US in the eyes of the world. Enough of the politics of the past . . . let's move on.

how about a Obama/Edwards ticket?

She will not be Obama's VP because she represents old politics. Most likely it will be Richardson on the ticket.

People want the race to be over and they want the dems to unite, however, there are those of us who support Clinton that simply will not support Obama. The nastiness coming from the Obama camp just adds fuel to the fire. Just because we are supporting one democratic candidate does not means we will automatically support the other, especially with all of the mud slinging from the other side.

If Obama does become the nominee, I believe that he should make a concerted effort to offer the v.p. slot to Clinton. If he does not and instead offers the v.p. position to a white male, I will not even consider voting for him. That tells me that he is saying that the Clinton supporters do not matter. John McCain is not perfect but he is a relatively liberal conservative and he just may get my vote depending on how all this plays out.

Just like his reverend , Obama's own supporters and the DNC will help to further sink his ship. They are all divisive and have agenda's which will never be sold to all Americans. The more I think about it, McCain's not so bad, at least I don't think he'll sell out our country. Hillary has been betrayed by the DNC because their agenda is to put in place the first black president, for them that takes precedence over putting the right candidate in office.
My motto has been, Hillary first, McCain if I must. I'm going to pay closer attn to McCain now.

He's from my state – a worthless politician...this one time though..he's right....(still worthless) – but right – if someone "distorts" your record (i.e. lies about it) – you can hardly trust them

I just wish senator Clinton can change to indepedent so that all these democratic haters can lose thier posts as chairmen of the senator especially that B.....tch Doddy

I hope Obama doesn't pick Clinton. I know Edwards has said 'no' to VP, but Obama could really use him for the "blue collar white" vote. Senator Jim Webb of Virginia would be a great pick too, being from Virginia (possible swing state) and his military credentials (reaching out to McCain voters).

Obama-Webb '08!!!!

I guess you're all correct: Obama is " just a pandering, hypocritical, lying candidate" and, according to "True Black American for Hillary, it's a sin to vote for Obama but what, oh what, can we do?? First, we tried the inevitable candidate scenario and that didn't work. Then we tried race-baiting and that didn't work. Then we tried to convince Americans that only some states were important and that didn't work. Then we insisted that only primaries, not caucuses, were democratic and that didn't work. Then we tried the kitchen sink strategy and that didn't work. Then we tried pandering and that didn't work. Now we're trying blackmail the superdelegates by threatening to vote for McCain (promoted on Hillary's web site blogs so her campaign does approve of this) so we'll see if this works. We can only pray, huh?

"I have to tell you that while I find some of what Obama says inspiring, I DO have many reasons- all policy, character, issue based and none due to racism – that WILL keep me from voting for Obama. ( by the way I am in an inter racial marriage with inter racial children)"

To "I'll modify it for dems". referencing the above statement. I read the rest of this blog and I didn't see one policy issue and all character issues are directed at supporters. I don't get it. I thought I was about to read an intellegent analysis and I got an emotional outburst.

Fran,

What you fail to realize is if Obama lose to McCain it will be blamed on Hillary because of the divisions she caused, so in 2012 the party will make sure she don't have a chance to run again. She will be the least like senator in the party. Also Bill Clinton won office both times because of the hugh African American vote they stood behind him even when white jumped ship. So myself a white man I know that whites will jump from side to side depending on what little bad news they here about someone, but African Americans are loyal once they believe in you(I am not trying to be negative toward African Americans here). If Obama lose is blamed on Clinton she could not win in 2012 because the African American vote will not be on her side and without that the repulicans will crush her and any democrate in a general election.

Obama has plyed by the rules and if he win he will have won it fair and square. It was Hillary(I did vote for her) who started going negative after super Tuesday when Obama started winning 12 in a row and he was winning in mostly all white states. Hillary is the one who went down the negative road so it bothers me to her Hillary supporters mad at Obama for something Hillary did to her self and our party. I voted for Hillary in Ohio but i will now gladly vote for Obama because I love my country and my party and for anyone to say the higher ups in the party was bias toward Hillary is crazy because when the election started she got more than a 100 superdelegates than Obama to support her based off her named. Obama has won his support from meeting and talking to people he could not rely on just his name like Hillary Clinton did. Democrates need to stop thinking their vote ment more than the majority of the democrates because Obama has won mor votes, states and delegates fair and square. MI and FL did not follow the rules and Hillary signed the agreement to not count their votes as a matter of fact she signed it before any of the other candidates.

Um, True black American? If those who are endorsing Obama are doing it not because they believe in his judgment but because they are chasing after a VP position, they WHY not just endorse Hillary? She'll need a VP too, right? And you don't need to hold down the question mark key and exclamation mark key – just one or two punctuation marks will get your meaning across, sparky... Honestly, you wacky Hillary supporters are reaching further and further for an explanation of why her campaign has failed so miserably... it started getting sad weeks ago and now it's just pathetic. Face it kids – Obama is a far superior candidate and the nomination belongs to him – as it should be.

"I'll Modify it for DEMS" states

I DO have many reasons- all policy, character, issue based and none due to racism – that WILL keep me from voting for Obama. ( by the way I am in an inter racial marriage with inter racial children)

An issue that has become more and more obvious to me (and others) is the incredible filthy, vulgar, hateful arrogance of Obama supporters.

This comment is absurd on its face.

Bot h candidates are the same on the issues and the primary battle was a essentially a contest of personalites.

Hillary is the poster child for status quo, divisviveness, "dirty politics" and the adage "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolueley." This woman would back over her own grandmother to become President. Simply put she is NOT a likeable person

The reason Mr. Obama has come out of nowhere is because he is the anitthesis of all those things .

I can't wait for this race to be over!

It's going to be nice for Hillary supporters to go to Mc Cain's website and tell the Repigs how they hate Obama and his supporters!

Can't wait! By the way – it feels good to be on the Obama Team!

And, it's also beautiful to see how many wonderful people support Obama!

YES WE CAN! YES WE WILL WIN!!!

Thank God , Clinton will not be on the Ticket! OBAMA/08

Obama had very good relationship with his Pastor, today he kicked out his Pastor, but whole country verybody knew already what happened, his opinion was same as his Pastor, now he change and blame the Pastor in order to reach his President dream, He is exactly
whited sepulcher.

It seems that that the people saying they would vote for only Hillary really are selfish people. They don't care about the people fighting and dying in Iraq. They would rather see this war continue under McSame then vote for Obama. Think of how many people will be dead in the next four years, then think long and hard about how spoiled that is. It's a democracy, sometimes you don't get your choice, but that is no reason to vote for 4 more years of a tragic war just because you are bitter. That is inhuman, sick, and evil.

I think many of you are idiots. i am an Obama supporter, but for the love of God leave Hillary alone. This is politics and politics is not a squeeky clean business. All the Obama supporters who think Obama is perfect and Hillary is evil, and all the Hillary supporters who think Hillary is perfect and Obama is evil ARE ALL IDIOTS!! And anyone of you who even entertains the idea of voting for McCain if your democratic nominee doesn't win is a VILE MORONIC SCUMBAG!! All of us democrats and independents need to GET MCCAIN OUT, so we can BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME, fix our environment and give our economy some CPR if its not too late already! We are not Clintonites or Obamanians WE ARE AMERICA AND WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY FROM THE GOP! Democrats and Idependents UNITE!!!!!!!!!

I will NOT vote for OBAMA because he has lied from the start about who he was and what he stood for.

He pretended to be about unity and on the weekends he sneaked off to donate money to his racist church. He sat in the pews and applauded as Rev. Wright spread propoganda and hate towards Whites, Jews, Italians, America and the victims of 911.

Obama said he is for the people and yet he sided with the Credit Card companies and voted to increase our interest rates to 30% or higher. Clinton and Edwards voted NO.

Obama said he is for the people but yet he tried to help Exelon AVOID reporting nuclear leaks. The original legislation REQUIRED nuclear companies to report any and all nuclear leaks. Obama however, tried to help Exelon by re-writing the legislation so that it now would say we SUGGEST that uclear leaks be reported.

Obama lied about Rezko during a National Debate stating he only knew him because of 5-6 hours worth of work, then we all find out later that they have been friends for over 16 years.

Obama lied during the Texas debate and told the moderator he had already released his earmarks when pressured about them. Then we find out three weeks later, that he had just released the earmarks.

Obama cannot be trusted, he has showed extremely flawed judgment and character.

Voting for Obama would be like voting for Bush again!

" WE TOLD YOU SO " NO OBAMA !!!!!!

Whether it's Obama-Clinton or Clinton-Obama, we need to keep the republicans out of the White House. Unity is a must. When democrats start saying they'll vote McCain, write in their candidate, or not vote at all; it makes me question their sanity. The bottom line is, we cannot afford another 4 years of republican rule (that is unless you're already rich). Republicans don't care about the average Joe. If you're net worth isn't over 1 million, you'll continue to suffer under their "everything’s okay" ideology. Personally, I voted Obama, but if Hillary got the nomination, I'd vote for her. I care too much about seeing "regular" people receive the help they need than I do about getting my way and having my candidate get the nomination. Republicans don't care about you. Democrats do. Let's come together and do something for our country.

When Sen Obama does or say something questionable, we question the intent as supporters. However, no matter what Sen Clinton says or does, her supporters simply follow blindly.
But I'm constantly hearing that we are "Obamabots". I don't follow my candidate of choice blindly, nor do I agree with everything he does and how he handles controversy, but in the BIG picture, he has shown that he can run a campaign almost flawlessly with the least of disruptions or infighting.
So please, if you are a Hillary Clinton supporter I can respect that, but only if you spend more time of building up your candidate.

If you have moral, Please vote for Hillary!

thank you jane in cal.i'm an independent,and we can't afford mccain.

joyce,in florida:even including your votes in fla. and michigan,she still can't overtake obama's lead.accept it and join us,for the fall.

Hillary is to smart to be Vice President . If she can't have first place , I don't want her to have second- Run on the Independent Ticket Hillary.You will have my vote and lots of others too.

Billy from Florida:

You are the perfect example of why you should keep your mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about. My Dad says it best: Those who know the least try to speak the loudest. Not a SINGLE THING you said was true. Florida did not go for Clinton at 99%. Obama does NOT have 98% of the African-American vote. And by any standards now, including counting Florida, Obama STILL is ahead of Hillary. IT'S PETTY PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GEORGE W. BUSH'S PRESIDENCY AND RE-ELECTION AND THE DOWNFALL OF AMERICAN SOCIETY.

I'll Modify it for Dems ... boy, you sure have a lot of hatred! It's rhetoric like that that will keep this country divided.

You do not know what you are talking about and seemingly don't care about how your hard words kill any prospects of this party much less this country uniting.

How nice it would be to hear something UNIFYING from Clinton supporters ... how nice it would be to hear something POSITIVE about the way things are going from Clinton supporters.

Obama 2008 and 2012
Yes We Can. And We Are.

I was for Senator Clinton before she announced that she would seek the nomination, but she has disappointed me by not taking the high road when she came to the fork on several occasions. We do need a change at the core of our Nation's life. It will be refreshing when the press begins to lift up Stateswoman/Statesmanship instead of just reveling in the dirt
which it tries to stir up.

elizabeth:he IS electable.he beat your candidate,so,p.o.!

A True black American for Hillary – You need some professional help.

good god David, now you are saying that god has spoken and he has chosen Obama, another reason not to vote for Obama, his supporters are not only hate filled and racist, they are nuts!

billy from fla. and fran:i see your posts on here every day,and i know your both republicans.one article,you bash hillary.next article,you bash obama.you are only working to divide the dems,because you know your buddy mccain's going down,in the fall.

You Democrats kill me.

Lets look at a few things. In 2008 you have the best chance to take the White House that has presented itself in a very long time. You have not one, but two decent candidates (whom, i might add, agree with one another 95% of the time. look at their voting records) And yet, with all this, you're still going to find a way to lose.

With regard to those calling for Hillary to run as Ind. I say she should go for it. Independent campaigns have always been so succesfull in this country...

By allowing yourselves to become this divided over two candidates whos differences are purely aesthetic, you've doomed yourselves. When John McCain wins in November. don't blame Barack Obama. Don't blame Hillary Clinton. Don't blame the DNC. Don't blame the media. Just take a look in the mirror.

Here's to four more years of this crap...

This race will be fought hardest in the states between Minnesota/Iowa and Pennsylvania. Those would be Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (and possibly Indiana). Also, Obama needs to reach out to the Clinton supporters. That tells me the ticket will be Obama-Bayh or Obama-Rendell (with Casey's blessing, which he should give in return for Rendell's blessing when Casey runs for governor). It also tells me that the Republican ticket will be McCain-Pawlenty or McCain-Portman. They both bring some youthfulness to the ticket, and Pawlenty creates some buzz as the host governor for the convention.

BadgerGuy33

Hilliary try again in 8 years.

Wouldn't change anything for me. I still wouldn't vote for Obama. McCain 2008

–Former Democrat

susan from missouri.hillary lost on super tuesday.

The problems for the Democrats are two-fold.!

If Obama is the nominee then you have the blue collar demogaphic and legions of delusional Hillary supporters who say they will vote McCain for not vote at all.

The only way Hilary becomes the nominee is through a back room, arm twisting deal in which she forces 80% of the uncommited superdelgates to support her. The black and independent vote WILL NOT support Hillary in that situation..

Both scenarios do not bode well ifor DEMS in the general election.

Who would have thought that after 8 years of an inept and disastrous Bush administration we would open the door for another 4 years of the GOP.

Let's all buckle up and wait for the results of the remaining primaries.
Would be nice if all pondents stop asking Hilary to stop fighting.

I think Hillary will end up with more popular votes and possible with more delegates.
it is not over until it is over. Many states did not have their conventions yet also and until then noone knows how many delegates those states will allocate for either candidate. I believe Hillary may end up with more delegates in Denver!

Hillary 08 and 12!

No Hillary on the ticket.

hey,h,good riddance! we don't want liars and racists on our ticket,or in OUR party.you say your the true democrats,when all you do is side with the republicans in attacking obama.true democrats vote for the nominee of their party.your just upset that your negative rants haven't worked.you peeps are so pitiful.

Half the party voted for Clinton. If this snob obama does not pick her, half the democratic party does not vote for him. It is as simple as that.

For those of you who still don’t get it, let me try to make this crystal clear. Its not that we don’t “likeâ€� Obama – hell, he’s probably a nice guy in some respects. But this is a job interview for the presidency, not American Idol. He has proven himself to be a racist, a hypocrite, and a pathological liar. If he were anyone else, his resume would have been in the can months ago. But – and let’s be honest here – its not who he is, but what he stands for.

Its simple folks – there is absolutely no way he will be president. Millions and millions of democrats, republicans, and independents will see to it this Nov. As painful as it is to say, McCain may be old, but he is far more qualified to lead. This is not about party loyalty, it is about what is best for our country – our future. Mark my words, Obama will not make it to the presidency – we will see to it.

Too many negative things have been said in a desperate aim of destroying the other person; it is good to "look before you leep" because when one falls, the only person that could come to one's rescue could be the person you earlier tried to destroy.
GOD bless America.

I'll modify & True Black 4 Hillary,

I am a older white voter and I voted for Obama for what he stands for and what he can change within this failing country. The true bigots are you. You are NOT true democrats if you think skin color or gender are what makes a candidate strong.
I guess because I didnt cast my vote for Hillary and I am female I am a bigot....Not on your life. I did research based on FACTS and I dont like bullies...actions speak louder than words.

Sen Obama WILL be our nominee and select a suitable VP.....And we will defeat McCain in the fall.

I know that some bloggers like the so-called “black American for Hillary” above, may not even be black. That’s the funny thing about blogs. Today you may be black and tomorrow white, whichever one brings across your point better. Anybody who thinks that God wants Hillary to be back in the White House is as unspiritual and delusional as their candidate. There are conservative prophetic pastors who prophesied about Obama’s candidacy in a very positive light, before he even started his campaign. If you really tune in to God you would know that God is the one who is granting favor to Obama for such a time as this. God’s ways are not our ways. He is a just God.

Obama ‘08

Hillary is not out and this fight is still on. When America wakes up and see's that Obama's lead was engineered by the republicans, they will flock to Hillary Clinton, the only democrat that can win back the White House in 2008.

Hillary..all the way to the convention if you have to. Your supporters will fight with you.

True black, get a grip!

Obama has a wide choice of VP candidates. How about another woman? There are many good candidates, such as Gov. Janet Napolitano of my great home state of Arizona. She is smart, savvy, and has backed Obama for a long time even though Hillary won AZ in the primary. Janet would appeal to women, Westerners, and fiscal conservatives. She is awesome!!

HILLARY WON'T RUN WITH ODRAMA!

HE IS GOING TO LOSE!!!!!!

I WILL ENJOY WATCHING IT!!!

HE IS AN ARROGANT RACIST!!!!!!

Has anyone bothered to ask Senator Dodd how he had the delusions of grandeur to think he was recognized enough to even attempt a Presidential Campaign run?

The man got roughly 1.5% of the vote, while he was running.

It's amazing how Hillary supporters keep stating Obama lacks experience when 99% of their policies are the same. Get real people...Once again some would rather cut off their nose inspite of their face. Quit being selfish and think about your kids. You'd rather split the party or vote for McCain because the person executing the same ideas and thoughts as yours happens to be different? Wow this is truly a sad day....

Until this presidential campaign, I considered myself a Democrat. However, I could never justify voting for an inexperienced candidate even though he was fortunate that the media didn’t investigate him or report its findings until after Super Tuesday, that 98% of his race voted for him because of his race, that the DNC blundered the process, and that an auspicious primary schedule allowed him to win the Democratic nomination. I now consider myself an Independent who will vote for the most experienced individual who best represents me, no matter what their party affiliation.

Clinton or McCain in ‘08 or Clinton in ‘12

I don't blame them for not wanting to vote for obama his supporters have been so mean and hateful just write in clintons name as a protest over the election since it wasn't democratic anyways.

What happens to Obama when Hillary runs as an Independent this fall.

If Hillary gets the nomination, she will NOT win against McCain in November. She's not electable, she continues to trail behind in polls against Obama and McCain and her camp is not raising the money necessary to make her campaign worth this.

Clinton needs to realize that a vast majority of Americans do not want her as president.

Atrue black american for hillary i agree with everything you say it is a shame someone who is qualified is treated with such gisgust by the hate mongering obama supporters it shows how much they get from their leader.

Fran – you can say all you want but any objective and lucid minded thinker knows that Obama has both the popular votes and not only that, but he is also ahead in the delegate count. So – it is preposterous for you to say that the “willâ€� of the people is being over-ridden by the super-delegates. I bet that you aren't a true Democrat and you can do whatever you please with your vote... but at the end of the day, Obama will win the general elections. You can go with McBush if you want this same old divisive politics in Washington – where nothing is getting done because of petty and divisive politics... and who looses at the end of the day? It will be both you and I – the American people. WE ARE DEMANDING A CHANGE IN HOW POLITICS IS PLAYED IN WASHINGTON. Now, it you choice to join this movement!!!

At the beginning of this campaign, I thought both candidates were electable. I have defended Hillary Clinton for years when people were hateful towards her. But, in this race, I have been so disappointed to see that she has resorted to dirty tricks and lies, did not organize her campaign or finances well, and alienated alot of people. If you remember, she had the black vote initially – but between her and Bill, they managed to lose it.

Her sense of entitlement to the office is turning so many away from her, including the superdelegates and long-time supporters. I hope that the current Hillary supporters can understand that she is much too divisive for this moment in time. We have to have someone who will be able to restore respect in the world, and move away from partisan politics. Please support Obama, or the ugliness of the last 7 years will continue!!

Who care's what Omana does; we can always run Hillay as an Independent. and I would bet money she could win.

CNN Post my comments, I read worst comments on this board than my comments. Unless CNN is writing all the comments themselves and using different names. I thought this was a country of freedom of speech. If you don't want comments then eliminate these blogs and stop play with people.

Fran and other Hillary supports,

If you want Hillary for Pres. then you can vote for her in 2012 again, but for 2008 it is over for Hillary the liar and do anything to win. Try donating your dollars to help her out of her campaign debt since you have so much faith in her.

Any one who say they are a democratic and want to vote opposite because their chose is not going to be the nominee. Then you were not a democrat in the beginning and stop being redundant. Do what you fell you have to do and don't blame anybody but your idiot self.

For the rest of Hillary supports. If you can not embrace Sen. Obama black half then embrace his white half, because I can embrace both equally.

Hillary doesn't need the VP spot. Clinton supporters will NOT vote for Obama. Let him go down against McCain.

Please TB nice try...but nor working at all. Hillary is a divider and not a uniter, so don't disguise your self as a true supporter,,Hillary's blogger..

If you do not see what Obama brings as a candidate,it is most likely you are a racist or genderly biased because try to be blind to what he has to offer.Obama policies are 95% the same as Hillary,but what gives him the edge is his ability to bring people together and his pleasent disposition.Hillary represents anger and seperation,so I believe those people for her share her ideas and character.We as Americans are looking for a better future and Obama speaks to this,sorry your hate and anger will not allow you to take an unbiased look at Obama.

If the DNC thinks the Dems will fall in line and vote for Obama, they better think again. I don't know one Democrat that will vote for Obama in the General election. He is just too much of a risk. So if it's not Hillary, then go McCain. We will do our part to stop Obama from getting to the white house.

HEY, CAN I ASK ALL YOU DEMS A QUICK QUESTION???
((This question only goes to TRUE democrats, everyone else can stop reading now)))

-IN RECENT HISTORY, MOST %OF PEOPLE USUALLY VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. THIS YEAR WE HAD A RECORD TURNOUT IN THE PRIMARY VOTING. MY QUESTION IS, WHY ON EARTH AM I HEARING SOME OF MY DEMOCRATS SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT VOTE IN THE FALL, "WHEN WE NEED YOUR VOICE THE MOST!!??"

-I STICK BEHIND MY PARTY, AND VOTE FOR OUR NOMINEE. AND YOU TRUE DEMS SHOULD TOO. FOR ALL YOU FAKE DEMS (HILARY SUPPORTERS) SHAME ON YOU IF YOU HURT OUR PARTY IN THE FALL BY NOT VOTING. MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T HURT OUR COUNTRY!!!!

Why won't Obama just say it? Why does he have to have his people say it? Why can't he speak for himself? What is he afraid of?

Not exactly a quality we need in a President.

She already spent all her hopes and chances for VP.

Maybe a cabinet position? That's as far as I can see anything come her way.

To Hillary's supporters, I don't pay attention to juvenile bloggers. I wouldn't expect you to either.

I am saddened by the ignorance of those following the Pied Piper of Illinois. But, I remember how it feels to be excited about the possibility of change when I was a kid, too. The reason more mature voters are choosing Hillary is because we've lived long enough to know a flashy rock star when we see one, and rock stars look and sound good.. but underneath they have no substance. I don't blame you followers of the great prophet Obama for your instincts to want to fix the world. I just know it takes substance and not flash to actually accomplish it. I hope you all know what you are doing...all I can think of is 4 yrs ago and the 51% who got us into this mess.
I personally am hopeful Hillary will not even seek the VP spot. We need her back in the Senate, not as a lackey to the prophet. She'll be back to help us in 4 yrs when you kids have grown up a bit and understand your folly.

As laid out by Teddy Kennedy on Friday, is to go with someone who wouldn’t be a big dark cloud over his sunshiny new politics.

A True black American for Hillary:

Are you off your medications again?

I think we need Dr. Phil to help all these Hillary's supporters.

I hope you all heal by November

Here is hug for you all

Obama is not going to be elected but go ahead and support him but just remember change is an empty word.

HRC is a single minded woman working for herself and herself alone. The DNC needs to show her the door. If you want change in America be a true Demcrat and vote Obama. If you want to continue HIllary's legacy keep your burned earth agenda!

New News Latest polls suggest that Clinton is picking up support from John McCain's base which is the following:
White Americans that hate people of color.
White Christians that hate people that do not look like them.
White Americans that have very little education.
White Americans who do not care about their own personal economic condition.
White Americans that want to see there sons die in an un-justifiable war.
White Women who hate man still seams to be Hillary Clintons's primary support.
So what Hillary is saying IS, if you are WHITE TRASH then I am your girl. If I was WHITE I would not even want to be seen with her.

I think all states should participate in this primary election. But think about how the few remaining states will feel if the two states who "pushed to the front of the line" get their votes counted. They may feel a lot like Florida and Michigan.

There have been many attempts to reconcile this situation but NEITHER candidate can agree...Hillary says she gets all of Michigan because Obama removed his name like every other candidate did to support the DNC decision. So much for her wanting ALL the votes counted when over 40% voted AGAINST her in Michigan.

So if there can be no agreement, stick with the basic rules set forth. THEY BOTH AGREED to them along with all the other candidates (like Edwards) who may have had different outcomes if their states went first. No you cannot put the Genie back in the Bottle and all elementary school children know you don't change the rules of a game once it started...everyone but Clinton that is.

Do all the earlier nominees feel like they were betrayed by their own party? I've not heard that betrayal cry before now. I could have missed it but I doubt it. Hillary hasn't been betrayed; she was far ahead earlier in the campaign. It's just that as time moved on and she demonstrated more negative and attacking politics that we all got turned off. I find her and my beloved Bill Clinton (who I am so sorry to learn of his tricky rhetoric) to be less than trustful, extremely manipulative and just plain down and dirty.

I think her party slowly and realistically started to pull away.

Having said the above, I will vote for Clinton should she win the nomination. I'm not going to run whining to the Republicans. I want a democrat in the White House come hell or high water. I want a president who will actually do something for the people of the United States.

I have yet to figure out if the 'win at all costs stab everybody in the back' attitude of the Clinton camp is from the top down or the mob up!

God forbid that Democrats may freely choose the Senator from Illinois without being accused of no longer being in the Democratic Party. What spoiled, rude and utterly terrible examples of the divisive politics that the country seeks Obama's presidency in an attempt to end.

The Clinto-Bush era is hopefully coming to an end. For a couple of Southern Bushwackers who create more enemies than any other White House occupants in hidtory, including the infamous Richard Nixon, her followers should be thankful for the torturous years we have been put through by their power mongering, double dealing, look you in the eye and lie through your teeth, cover-up administration.

All the while we, as members of the Democratic Party have tried to look the other way hoping they were learning from tehir lessons and could provide some ultimate good as a result of it.

Obviously, we are so wrong. The last month of events shows that Hillary is no different than her hubbie who was busted making derogatory racial remarks aimed at Jessie Jackson, Hillary proves that she too can live up to her challenge to one up Bill in being racist.

The sad thing about racists is that they let them back on the radio and they allow them to keep campaiging for President.

Dont' forget to turn out the lights when you leave the room, Fran, no one is following you, your candidate, or the politics of hate anymore.

I certainly hope that future oprez Obama will not even consider Clinton as a candidate for his political venue. Voting for Mr. Obama, Republicans crossed party lines to exorcise the Clinton "trailer trash" from the White House. Forfeiting Ms. Clinton (and her husband/ventriloquist) will insure the same support in November; Republicans are impressed with Obama's eloquence (deflecting Wright's provocative tract) and his reluctance to play the race card. Adhering to an allegiance that is decidedly non-Clinton, there's no doubt that Obama will be our next president (he has dissuaded me from routinely voting Republican). There's no time for sore losers; please, Mr. Obama, apply a precedent to our economy.

No. 1: I don't think it's "very clear" that Obama will be the nominee. Hillary still has lots of supers, has won all the big states that matter, and Florida and Michigan haven't even been counted yet. Barack Obama will not have the magic number of delegates either, so don't count Hillary out til it's over.

No. 2: I agree that Hillary will not accept a second place spot on any ticket. Her talent, intelligence, experience, accomplishments, and energy could better be used in another capacity (for example: president or secretary of state).

Amazing! Clinton supporters are being called Dumb uneducated by the Clinton herself and they do not see or hear what is being said. WOW! I am amazed. She and Bill are history.. GO OBAMA!

fran, clinton is the one who betrayed her party by using republican tactics! lots of people actually think she is a republican, she did this to herself and no one is to blame but herself!!

Frankly, I LIKE and SUPPORT the war on terror! I believe it's a good and a necessary thing because it shows the world we aren't all just a bunch of crybaby wimps like Hollywood and San Francisco.

I'd like to see us maintain a forceful presesce in Iraq for the next 100 years if necessary AND obliterate Iran - and there's only one ticket that can achieve that.

McCain/Clinton 08!

LEAVE US ALONE AND GO BACK HOME. THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE CLINTONSSSSSSSSSS.

Since people are so sure that Obama is going to be the Dems choice… Why not make it still a three horse race? Its obvious the country is still divided, I'm not talking about the superdelegates as its clear to me with the exclusion of Michigan and Florida votors that the supdels are going to be swayed over by peer pressure to support someone who in my honest opinion is not ready for the White House.

My gut was right about Bush when he took office for the first term and it has yet to tell me I'm wrong. I just can't trust a man who can not show me credentials worthy of being a president other than the eloquent way he speaks……That I'll give him..but where is the rest of if?
A lawyer from Chicago becoming a Senator first time out and now thinks the next step should be President….I have to agree with Mitt Romney…Cutting your teeth in the Oval Office is not acceptable to me.

So with that said…Hillary, go independant..your supporters will still vote for you…..

It is over for Clinton. She made the mistake of overestimating Obama's campaign. He's the nominee so accept it, GET OVER IT! Ok, "Fran", let me tell you something. If you want to vote and support somebody, just because you like them, then you need to vote on American Idol, but this is for the Democratic nominee. This is for the good of the DEMOCRATS and the united states of america. If you don't want to support the democratic party nominee, then sit back and watch. Obama will win without the support of Clinton backers, because he will take independent voters, and he has already taken over many republican voters too. So, "Fran", be prepared for 8 years of Obama. There will be no "I told you so campaign," but for the sake of argument, if she does run 8 years from now, Obama voters will STILL NOT VOTE for her, we will vote for the other person.

Hillary will lose the WV, because she call the beautiful people of WV uneducated.

We will surprise her on Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Fran, you have to be a Republican. 90% of Democrats simply do NOT think this way. This type of thought process is more like the Republicans (the "your either with me or against me" type of Rovian politics). We know you are Republican bloggers trying to divide the Democratic party because it's the ONLY way "Old Man" McInsane has a snowball's chance in H### of winning the GE. Your strategy is "FATALLY FLAWED".

fran

Its people with mentality like yours that are the cause of strife and turmoil around the world.

Hillary can only feel cheated because at the start of the primaries she considered herself the presumptive nominee.

Looking back she never really had a big lead over Obama in pledged delegates so how the hell is she cheated, bec of FL and MI???
Grow up and get a brain .. the DNC unseated them ... not Obama.

Hillary' and her supporters wanted to bankroll the re-vote for their own means..not for yours.

Well the first person obviously does not realize Hillary Clinton's political career is over if it is evident Obama lost because her supporters refused to support him. That is extremely foolish of this person to think Clinton can run again if it is evident Obama lost the election because of her. She will already have a hard time running again in the democratic party because they rarely nominate people who have lost in the past. If her supporters spoil the democrats election just becuase they are sore losers I can garantee she will never be the nominee, and her career as anything but senator from NY will be in jeopardy. Then she says the party "betrayed her". Sorry Fran we live in a democracy you arnt just given the nomination because you last name is Clinton. If you want that maybe you should hop in a time machine and go back to pre-revolutionary France where aristocracy is the goverment of choice.

If Hillary supporters don't want to support who the country selected, that just shows that they are narrow minded they are. I really don't expect Hillary to do as she says, support the party, because she is going to be ticked off that she did not win, remember super Tuesday, all of her campaign workers had plans to go back to their regular job, she knew that she would win. She is doing her best to destroy Barack, because she had the presidency wrapped up. He was a nobody, we did not know him, etc. I hope I am wrong, some people have a better opinion of her than I do, but my opinion is that she is a witch with a b. I am allowed to think this, I have been through 3 Bushe's and one Clinton. Time to change. from top to bottom.

SHE DRANK TOO MUCH OF HER OWN KOOL-AID

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY HILLARY. HERE IS A HUG FOR YOU

YOU FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT NOW FINISH YOUR RACE BUT NO MORE NEGATIVE ATTACKS.

TRY AGAIN IN 2016. IF MCAIN CAN RUN AT 71 YOU CAN RUN AT 68

SINCERELY YOUR,

DOUG
FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER

sore loosers, will vote against their own party. what a fraud.

Of course Hillary will accept the VP position. The decision was made three weeks ago behind closed doors. She's not happy about it, and had several demands, but the democrat big shots caved in to her demands. So don't be surprised when they announce this, within the first ten days of June.

to Fran there is a diffrence between being "educated" vs. being "learned."
After reading 95% of the notes (blogs) on CNN, here are some conclusions:
1.Hillary's supporters may be learned, but they are not educated. That is, they show gross negligence in doing research to uncover the truth.

2. Majority of Hillary's supporters write using "uppercase" letters, suggesting that they are rude, bitter, and inconsiderate.

3. Like their candidate, most of Obama supporters are very humble and put this nation "first". Wealth and greed are seen as secondary or remote issues

4. All of the lies and disinformaiton about Barack is going up in smoke as past political propaganda. We are now witniessing history unfolding before our very eyes, as the nations' first Democratically elected black man gets voted into the highest position of authority in the country. I can honestly say that I am proud to be an American again. Thank you Barack, for being a true leader.

An Obama/Clinton ticket would be a recipe for disaster. Mrs. Clinton has spent so much time smearing Senator Obama on the campaign trail and playing the race card that she would not make a trustworthy running-mate or Vice-President. With Clinton as V.P., Obama would have to be looking over his shoulder constantly as well as guarding his back. If he chooses Clnton, he also risks alienating many of his core supporters – those same people who have already been alienated by his opponent and her pathetic campaign antics. If he is looking for a woman as the Vice-Presidential candidate, there is certainly no shortage of talent within the Democratic Party and there are surely better candidates than Mrs. Clinton.

I do not think the Democratic Party BETRAYED Hillary Clinton. What did the party do that betrayed her? This was a fair race and Obama won fair and square.

What is unfortunate is that once a nominee is decided the supporters of one candidate or the other refuse to line up behind the niminee.

This in my view is VERY poor attitude and only helps the Republicans. It makes sure that no matter who the Democratic Nominee is; he/she will loose in the general election because the supporters of the loosing democratic contender will not support the Democratic Nominee. Note that had Hillary won Obama supporters should have lined up behind Hillary.

The DEMOCRATIC process was followed in the DEMOCRATIC primary. It is time to be a DEMOCRAT and line up behind the DEMOCRATIC candidate. If you do not do it not only do the Democrats loose, in my humble opinion you loose also.

Good reasoning Americans can you see now that those endorsing Obama are not doing so because they feel he has the best judgement but that they want to be vice President . So this will be the change in Washington??????????????? Americans are being fooled again after eight years of fooling by George Bush. GOD of heaven where is this country heading to?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? My God where where where????????????????????????????????????????
Tears are dropping from my eyes, i am weeping for America. God forgive us our sins and revive America ones again. We have sinned and we continue making the same mistake all over again , I have never believed it in my life that America will come to this> God please save America again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE LORD SAVE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The uniter, the party leaders, Michelle Obama, and rats who left Clinton's ship can determine which way to head their Titanic until they reach the iceberg which is floating their way. Hillary's resilience is needed at this time, not some empty hope lifted from other person's book. I will accept McCain.

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

Hillary carries too much NEGATIVE baggage! The Clintons are simply DIVISIVE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY!

To put Obama and Clinton on the same ticket is a sure dumb way to DESTROY Obama Presidency!

Best news I have heard today. It is too bad that she cannot run as an independent due to election rules in place. She is the best person for the job. But we still have McCain who is very much like Hillary and will do everything possible to protect our citizens from the Radical Islamists that threaten our way of life.

McCain-Hillary 08

To Fran,
Its called Democracy. The people voted and Obama won. It is what it is. Why are some people acting so childish throwing tantrums. Democrats lets not cut our nose to spite our face! If McCain gets into office there wont be anything left to run for next election!

New News Latest polls suggest that Clinton is picking up support from John McCain's base which is the following:
White Americans that hate people of color.
White Christians that hate people that do not look like them.
White Americans that have very little education.
White Americans who do not care about their own personal economic condition.
White Americans that want to see there sons die in an un-justifiable war.
White Women who hate man still seams to be Hillary Clintons's primary support.
So what Hillary is saying IS, if you are WHITE TRASH then I am your girl. If I was WHITE I would not even want to be seen with her.

We should not take a selfish, candidate-based look at the primary results. How many are Obama supporters? How many are Clinton supporters? How many are Democrats?

There is too much at stake for all Americans. Whomever the Democratic nominee is should have the full support of ALL Democrats.

What is the alternative? You would actually support someone who, while a true patriot and civil servant, will just be an extension of the current failed administration? I think not.

OBAMA-HAGEL '08
I love Hillary too!

Frank Tillery
One of U.S.

Sorry, Fran, but the next Democratic nominee will be the one with the most popular votes, the most states won, and the most superdelegates. If Hillary wants to work in the Oval Office next year, maybe she can pick out the new drapes for President Obama.

Ditto fran. The party hierarchy have done everything they could do to sabotage Hilllary including helping to trump-up charges of racism.
AP has a picture of Obama in his ancestral garb and the cry is "Hillary's a racist". AP reports a result of it's polls that Hillary gets the white vote , she repeats it and the cry is "Hillary's a racist"
.
Enough with the racist-wolf cries. Obama and his campaign, the DNC, Clyburn, Sharpton and other black leaders have no credibility defining what is racist speech because they were all SILENT on Rev Wright's CLEARLY racist speech. Even when she wins a state the backstabbing superdelegates vote for Obama. Payback day will be the the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

How was she betrayed by her own party. She lost fair and square. There was a primary season and she lost. He has more votes, more delegates, and has raised more money. I can see why we have not had a female president. Because I don't think we are ready. Fran look at you your candidate looses so you are ready to vote for everything I am sure you stand against. Is that wise. Or is it just silly. I would hope the democratic party can come together and stop all of this foolishness. She lost deal with it and get over it. She lost fair and square. He followed the same rules she followed and he just won. I don't understand how they betrayed her. You can like someone but not think they are the best choice and I think that is what is happening.

I will tell you this though, if John McCain win because of sour grapes and you are paying $7 a gallon for gas either just pay it or start walkning. But please don't complain because you would have been part of the decision to do that. These rules that are in place are the same rules that put Bill Clinton in office twice they just didn't work out that way for Hilary.

Hillary supporters can vote for Mcshame if they want, but they should not complain when they loose their homes to repossessions, or their brothers and sisters are killed and maimed in Iraq.

Hillary is the people's choice for the President. We;ll hear more after we see the results in the next three states.WV, KY and PR. People calling Hillary to step down are all Obama supporters and the people who want to be politically correct. None of Hillary supporters want her to step down because we believe people are not looking behing Obama;s veil. There are no solutions, to experience to bring solutions just charisma but that does not make him a better choice for President when our country is in turmoil from recession and war. Hillary clearly has cound judgement and experience to be a better Prez.

Hillary 08'

Why do I feel like they're just telling woman is just give it up and fall in line, women are tired of being told what to do by these bulldog men.

I will NOT vote for OBAMA because he has lied from the start about who he was and what he stood for.

He pretended to be about unity and on the weekends he sneaked off to donate money to his racist church. He sat in the pews and applauded as Rev. Wright spread propoganda and hate towards Whites, Jews, Italians, America and the victims of 911.

Obama said he is for the people and yet he sided with the Credit Card companies and voted to increase our interest rates to 30% or higher. Clinton and Edwards voted NO.

Obama said he is for the people but yet he tried to help Exelon AVOID reporting nuclear leaks. The original legislation REQUIRED nuclear companies to report any and all nuclear leaks. Obama however, tried to help Exelon by re-writing the legislation so that it now would say we SUGGEST that uclear leaks be reported.

Obama lied about Rezko during a National Debate stating he only knew him because of 5-6 hours worth of work, then we all find out later that they have been friends for over 16 years.

Obama lied during the Texas debate and told the moderator he had already released his earmarks when pressured about them. Then we find out three weeks later, that he had just released the earmarks.

Obama cannot be trusted, he has showed extremely flawed judgment and character.

Voting for Obama would be like voting for Bush again!

" WE TOLD YOU SO " NO OBAMA 08

Hillary supporter who WILL vote for Obama if he is the Democratic nominee. I am a true Democrat who is raising five children with our economy in the shape it is in. I can not understand how any Democrat could vote for McCain and more of Bush policy.
DEMOCRATS UNITE FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well then Fran....

Expect the Women's right to choose to be put in serious jeapordy. McCain has made it clear that he will appoint Justices in the mold of Alito and Roberts... AND BOTH OF THEM are rabid anit-abortion judges...

Expect that the war in Iraq will continue indefinitely, with countless more soldiers dying for a war that WAS BASED ON LIES and should have never been waged...

Expect that millions will continue with no health care...

Have you even heard John McCain speak?

If you want to put this country in jeapordy by voting for McCain, then you can PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK when abortion is outlawed and thousands more die in Iraq.

Your choice, Fran.

I said it earlier, i expect a blow out fihgt again withn the Obama camp very soon since all these people endorsing him want to be vice president. It is coming out true now . This will be the very begining of death and problem of te Obama camp. Well Clinton is not bowing out at all , Kerry, Kennedy , Pelosi and Dean have started what they cannot end .The DNC is already divided and in factions.This is the begining of the end for the DNC, whatever you useless American media try to play out in support of Obama wont work and will not work.All your idea that the evangeical church will move for Obama will not work even we the evengelicals are really and indeed really angry with you American media and we will vote for McCain s stop raising unecessary views and wrong news right?????????????????????????????? Your Obama will loose and loose biggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

that is the ticket clionton governor of ny. then 2012 clinton the qualified the provened president

People need to get off their high horse for about 10 seconds. Maybe your canidate won't get the ticket, are you willing in spite of anger to allow the republicans to drive this country even deeper into debt and possible collapse over the next four years? Do whats right and get these republicans out of office this year... whatever it takes....

Hillary OR Obama '08

Sorry, Democratic!

Democrats, independants and republicans who are waking up: Ignore Fran and similar Republican plants. The democratic party will put aside our differences and be united in November. No one with half a brain would vote for bush's 3rd term under John McCain because our feelings are hurt.

how childish of you Fran

Fran~
Hello are you from planet Earth???
Obama isn't a flawed Democratic party choice it is the choice of the nations democratic majority. As soon as you get a clue about what is going on then you can talk....

The fact she feels betrayed by the party again is laughable since we the voters make the decision and WE don't owed her anything. If she was a man we would tell her to buck up but we are playing the gender card quite pathetically well. Like I said We don't owe her anything but she owes the country explanations regarding a number of statements and mentalities she has subjected us to.

While I have a Masters degree and an Obama supporter I believe that this country's population can see through all of this crap, which is why Obama is winning

It would be a NIGHTMARE!!!

We want CHANGE... not dynasties or McBushes!

Fran,
Is this a bribe or a threat? You obviously don't understand the consequenses of another 4 years for the republicans in the White House, and it's very dissapointing to see these kinds of statements.
I know most real Democrats are going to vote for our Nominee in November.
Obviously you are not a real Demodratic!

Well, Fran, such is your right. But in those four years be prepared to say goodbye to Roe vs. Wade, feed thousands more of our soldiers not to mention untold thousands of innocent civilians, to the meat grinder that is the Iraq occupation, witness the continued collapse of Afghanistan and the resurgence of al Qaida, and watch the economy swirl and disappear down the toilet. Yes, Fran, you just enjoy your victory. Enjoy every bit of it. Revel in the fact that, by God, you sure showed 'em. Roll that spite around your mouth like a fine vintage. I'm sure there will plenty of warm fuzzies coming your way.

We will not fall in line behind Obama. I will vote for McCain. The democratic party is a disgrace.

Dodd should be Obama's running mate.

What makes Fran think the democratic party is going to like Hillary any more than they do now after 4 years? You support a divisive racist. More Democrats do not support Hillary than those that do. Live with it.

To Hillary supporters:

If you don't want to support Obama because you don't want to support him, then no one will be able to convince you otherwise.

It just doesn't make sense when Hillary supporters talk of 'a flawed process'. What flawed process? Obama is winning and will win the democratic nomination fair and square. Hillary supporters should also remember that MI and FL will get counted and their delegated will be seated at the convention but that will not change the math and Obama will still be ahead and become the nominee.

So if you have your own reasons for not supporting Obama, please don't hide behind some scapegoats but instead come out and tell the world the real reasons are why you don't want to support him. I am tired of these kind of tactics.

Oh shut up Dodd. You and Pelosi.

Hillary deserves to be POTUS. If it comes up that BO gets the nod, then it is a no brainer that Hillary should be VP. Period.

I truly don't know why anyone is asking for Dodd's opinion in the matter.

Fran

Its not about 'falling in line' or about Obama or Hillary. It's about the future of Roe vs. Wade and women's rights. Its about ending the $5000 a second that the US is spending in Iraq right now that could be put towards healthcare or poverty in the US. So if your petty allegiance to one person blinds you to the fact that both candidates policies are virtually identical, and results in a McCain victory, I will be greatly saddened. It's not about a single person, its about policy. This is government after all.

If groups of women don't vote for the eventual nominee because it isn't the woman that they voted for, they will be the ones responsible for putting a man in office that has pledged to appoint conservative justices to the supreme court that may overturn a woman's choice for abortion. Seems ironic to me.

Democrat '08

Fran, no one cares about your support. you can vote for Mccain in Fall, he is not going to win the election.

Obama '08 & '12

FLAWED? OBAMA HAS THE VOTES THAT QUALIFY HIM TO BE THE NOMINEE, MCCAIN HAS THE VOTES THE QUALIFY HIM TO BE THE REP. NOMINEE AND HILLARY HAS A SPEECH ABOUT THE STUPID WHITE PEOPLE VOTE.

I will vote for Clinton as President,but will vote against Obama,or even Obama / Clinton.

Who cares if you nasty cranky HRC supporters fall in line. Go back to the senior center and shut up. Rehash 1968. It's good for 'ya.

Sorry, but when WV go to the votings polls on Tuesday, she will not get a huge turnout .All her supporters and Obamas supporters are staying home. Whats the use, she's already lost.

Get with the program; the last time I checked the US was a democratic state and you are free to vote for whomever you want. That does not take away from the fact that Obama beat Hillary in 08 and we wish you all the best in 12

No joint ticket.

Obama '08 & '12!

Wow Fran. Clinton has been doing nothing but bashing Obama. She's out for herself and not the Democratic Party. If McCain were to beat Obama (highly unlikely) and Hillary helped McCain win, Democrats will show Clinton the door in 2012, both nationally and in NY state. In 2012 the only thing she will have to run on is "I helped user in 3rd Bush term and four more years of hell." When will Clinton supporters realize she is just using you.

Fran, that's too bad that you feel that way. I want a Democrat in office so things can change. I don't want to pay for this war any more.

so Fran, you don't believe another 4 years of Bush policies could destroy America, trust me in four years it will be too late ,we need to end this now. We need to unite

Obama 08

Fran who cares about your support. Whether you like it or not Hillary is done, Obama is the Dem Nominee and is going to be the next prez of the Unitated States of America. You are right about one thing though, "Hillary '08 and '12", back to NY.

Betrayed! how dare you Fran and the rest of you "silly Hillie" supporters after she done ran him through the mud, called him every name she could, and even threw the kitchen and bathroom sink at him, my point was this "if she wanted on the ticket she should had respected him earlier when she and her husband was out there having the nerve in asking him to be the VP and she was losing just by saying " look barack its obvious you can:

A: Get the voters that support you and the voters that support me to
get involved in the Red Starts we Democrats always lose....

B: Can raise the money....

C: Take the high road when it comes to political attacks and make it a
clean election, but

No hillary and her camp decided to take the low road and divide the party. She dont deserve to be on the ticket, and go ahead and vote for John McCain and when one of your loved ones ends up over in Iraq fighting the Bush-McCain war, don't forget we told you so.

FRAN:
GIVE IT UP. ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN POSING AS A DEMOCRAT?

IF NOT LOSING IS HARD SO HERE IS A HUG.

GOOD LUCK IN 2016. BTW I WAS AN HILLARY SUPPORTER

DEM LET'S UNITE. SOMEONE HAD TO LOSE AND THIS TIME IT'S HILLARY

OBAMA 08

Fran, you and others like you need to finally come out and admit that you are not true Democrats – rather only "fair-weather" Dems who will only vote for your own choice (no matter how "flawed" they are – rather than support the nominee that YOUR party chooses (democratically).

This has been an excellent campaign with two of the most dynamic candidates we've seen in a long, long time. Hillary and Barack have been competitive, tough when required, and amazing with their ability to rebound from adversity. It's unlikely that we'll ever see such an amazing race again in our lifetime and we all should give them the credit and honor their efforts deserve. We should applaud them.

Your desire to somehow make the party pay by voting for the Repubs shows us all exactly where you stand, and dishonors the hard work of both of these amazing candidates. If you plan to be a party turncoat you should just go join McCain's people for good. Just like Hillary said: "If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen!" What you aim to do is an immature and selfish response. This is a contest, and like all contests there is always a winner and a loser and sometimes it doesn't go the way we want – but to refuse to support the democratically chosen winner in the way you plan to is just plain wrong. You should be ashamed.

It is do or die for old baggage in a pantsuit! That is why she has behaved like she has. Her campaign has made one screw-up after another; she has had to loan her campaign money; she has lied and then joked about it on TV!!!! Who would want this woman for any position of real responsibility? I'm glad she is out of there and won't be back. Sixty is about it for women in public office; especially if they are beginning to lose their minds already! Obviously, she has been losing her marbles for some time now. Would someone tell her it is over, PLEASE! Thank you!

Fran, you are to the point.
Hillary '12 : EXACTLY THATS WHAT HILLARY IS WORKING FOR.

Why do you think that Clintons did not campaign heartily for KerryEdwards in 2004?

I am sure Obama will loose this election and Hilary will again contest in 2012 and also sure that she will loose the nomination yet again and then will set the groundwork for Chelsea in 2016.

White House is owned by Bush-Clintons.

I am a White woman disspointed by Hillary.

@fran:

well i tell you one thing:

if she doesn't do everything in her power to get people behind barack obama then she will be held responsible for losing the election in november and not obama. and if that is the case you can be sure that she will not run in 2012 because everybody will see her as the candidate who deliberately sabotaged obama to maintain her own chance to run in 4 years again.

by the way: how do you think hillary was betrayed? i personally can't see a sign where things had not been handled correctly ... but maybe i just don't know about these things. in this case please write them down here so that everybody will know.

Everyone in my town has a strong and clear message for the Clintons:

DENIAL AIN'T JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT YOU CON ARTISTS!

OBAMA 08 & '12

Oh shut up and get over yourself Fran. I am so sick of you Hillary supporters blaming everyone but your candidate for losing. If all of you so called "hard-core" Hillary supporters were out there knocking on doors, traveling state-to-state, donating money and helping fundraise, maybe she wouldn't be this far behind and broke. All of you, especially people like Sharon from Minnesota, get on here and probably a bunch of other blogs and bash and complain about Hillary's situation everyday. If you all spent as much time helping her cause that you do blogging and spewing your hate and complaints perhaps those "hard-working white Americans" that her campaign owes money to would be paid by now. Most of you probably have done nothing to help her cause and so you, like her, have no one to blame but yourselves. This is not a conspiracy, Hillary lost fair and square.........It appears that her supporters are winning in the state of denial as well.

Democrats 08'

Fran, you sound a little sore. I know losing is tough to swallow, but I hope you take the time to look at Barack Obama as compared to John McCain, and realize that what you believe in is exemplified much more by Obama than McCain. Certainly you don't want four more years of the Bush policies just so you can say "I told you so."

Don't accept McCain–swallow your pride and campaign for your ideals, not just your candidate.

Simple question. Given Sen. Obama's lack of political experience, (the equivilent of political kindergarten), would you vote for him if he were white?

Fran
do you know what we call democratie, or are you from a banana republic ?
wake up, we are un USA here.

Before you write off Barack Obama, I hope you will visit his website and look at his stance on the issues.

Obama has won every delegate fairly and he's not responsible for what has happened with MI and FL. You should ask their state legislatures why they chose to ignore the rules.

What would you be telling Obama supporters right now if Hillary were ahead?

i dont think people get it, dnc and obama superdelegates, know this:

WE WIL NO VOTE FOR OBAMA!!! HE WILL LOSE THE GE!

He doesn't have the requisite support from the rest of us.
sorry guys, if he can't build the colition to beat Mccain he doesnt deserve it. (not that he deserved it anyway with his zero experience)

Hillary 08!!!

Fran, I have to tell you that I am very disappointed by the way that a lot of Hilary supporters are conveying that they will not support Obama in the general election. I understand that her supporters are loyal to her and that is indeed understandable. but at the same time you have to think logically. Hilary's viewpoints and Obama's viewpoints are not that different from one another's but are vastly different from McCain's. It doesn't make sense to be an Obama or Hilary supporter because you agree with their views and then turn around and vote for the opposite (McCain) because your candidate of choice did not win. It's time to stop paying attention to the messenger and pay attention to the message. We've got to go with the person who will end this war that is costing endless lives and continuing to wreck havoc on our economy (that's not McCain). We've got to go with the person who has a better healthcare plan (that's not McCain). McCain doesn't even support legislation for the equal pay of women. Fran, we as democrats have to unite to make things better for us and our children and their children.

Here’s to Democrats who will vote for McCain if they don’t get their way. Don’t complain when we get Supreme Court Justices who take away the rest of our civil rights, or when the economy turns to even more crap, or we get involved in another war the hurts our efforts on the war on terror, or our energy policy gives more money to the oil companies, or when they take more money from the poor and give it to the drug companies.

Given the fact that the Clinton/Gore ticket was the only Democratic team to not only be elected , but also RE-ELECTED since the 1950's, I just don't see Hillary leaving the scene for the fall election.

First for all you pollsters I am a 29 year old white blue collar male.

Fran what is it about Sen. Obama that makes him the "flawed choice?"
And why did Democrats turn their backs" on Sen. Clinton

Why is it so hard for Sen. Clinton supporters to understand that she is not the stronger canidate? If she was the stronger canidate she would be winning. Sen. Obama a virtual unknown to many in America a year ago has defeated her..

Maybe Fran needs to understand that who she believes is the better canidate just might not be the best canidate. I know it can be hard to see your side lose, but really Fran what make Sen. Clinton such a superior canidate than Sen. Obama?(and if you say Experience I will throw up.)

Is this what makes Sen. Clinton better? When things didn't go the way she planned(super tuesday) that she is willing to do anything, even cheat(Mich&Flor) to try to say she is the stronger canidate? As I stated earlier Sen. Clinton if you are the stronger canidate you would be winning. Do not blame the media, do not blame Sen. Obama for being a better choice, in the words of Dr. Phil "own it" He beat you now get out before you make race anymore of an issue than it already is.

One last thing for Fran don't become a bitter old woman just because we didn't elect one.

I still believe Clinton would make a better nominee than Obama would; I have no doubt that if Obama becomes the nominee, the Democrats will lose the White House. And if that happens, I'm going to laugh my head off because I have no idea how the Democrats manage to screw everything up so many times (it's not like they weren't practically handed the Presidency on a silver platter, after eight years of Bush).

Dodd and other Obama surrogates keep saying the democrats will unite.
They have all underestimated the damage done by the good old boys in Washington, the reprehensible media bias, and vile behavior of Obama supporters. We have watched our candidate endure all of this with dignity, never losing her focus. The fact that they are compelled to keep repeating our party unity only reveals their lack of certainty. We all knew male dominated media and politicians were struggling to come to terms with a woman President. It is disheartening to know that they will destroy our chances in November rather than try to reconcile there need to prevent gender equality.

fran are u behind the party or behind a candidate? If Hillary goes independent will you vote for Republican or Independent? It appears you are not a Democrat.

Fran,

You are right, we are not going to sit back, everyone I have been
talking to is going to write her name in on the ballot if they steal the nomination from her. None of us are going down without a fight.

I would love to tell that nappy headed Michelle Obama to keep her
mouth shut about Hillary.

fran...

so how exactly has the Democratic Party betrayed Clinton?

Sounds Like Sour Grapes to Me Fran...If we are to defeat John Mc Cain in November, it is time for the Party to Unite with Obama, Plain and Simple... The Last I heard Obama had More Delegates and won More states than Hillary.. You are in the Minority, Obama will be Our President with or without your Help.. quit whining and get a reality check.... Obama Suporter 08

Fran, What make you think we the Obama Prople will vote for Hillary Clinton If the Nomination is STOLEN from Him. I have been reading remarks by the clinton people for weeks about they not voting for Obama. Well we Feel the same way you do.
Aparently whom ever the nominee is they are going to have problems with the other person people. Well good luck to them both because the democrates will not win this election

fran
You speak as though the party leaders just gathered around a table and chose obama as the nominee.
He has won the popular vote, pledged delegates and the most states plus he is the king of fundraising.
Imagine hillary had the popular vote, pledged delegates, and the most states won, who the obama supporters to even attempt to take that nomination away from her? Ask youself that.
Who are the party leaders to come in and decide, although she might have the pledged delegates, popular vote, and most states won, shes weak, lets give it to obama.
Thats undemocratic. You hillary supporters have problems.
You are betraying democracy

Fran, I don't get what you mean when you say the party betrayed her. Before the elections started, she had the nomination won. It was her own arrogance that allowed everything to unravel. Obama knocked her back on her heals, after which she came out swinging in way reminiscent of Republicans.

Honestly, I'm somewhat shocked that you're refering to Obama as if he's the only "flawed choice." NO ONE is perfect, and Clinton in particular is an incredibly divisive character. Have you not met any of the millions of people who are more than happy to vote for a female Democrat but will never vote for HER?? (I, for one, can't wait to see what the Democratic Governor of Kansas does in the next few years.)

I hate to say this, because it's a sad truth, but, if McCain wins, it will be thanks to people like you. Don't let your resentment about Clinton's loss influence you so much that you choose McCain and his dangerous proposals over Obama.

"Flawed Choice" – It looks to me like Clinton is the flawed one due to the fact that her chances of winning the nomination are zero to none. The democratic party did not betray Clinton. She lost because she chose to use dirty tactics in the hope to ruin Obama instead of concentrating on the issues, but the joke is on her. America has spoken and the best candidate has (just about) won. The rift in the democratic party was widened by Clinton's continued "kitchen sink" politics. So all you sore losers (Clinton supporters) have no one to blame except your candidate.

Don't be surprised that Clinton has ruined her chances of any future bid for the presidency. The Clinton dynasty is tumbling down.

OBAMA – White House here we come.

I agree with everything you said fran. We will be together. We make up a large number of voters and will not get over how our candidate has been treated. We are not going away.

To all the Hillary supporters... and everyone else too.

Now we must choose between the warmonger or the peacebringer.

Who's it going to be?

Is Dodd backing Obama knowing that he will lose and Dodd will have a chance again at the nomination in 2012?

fran: you are so right.

Hey Fran , Can you say President Obama ?

It is very sad to here democrats who are going to vote republican because Hillary is not going to be the nominee. If Hillary was going to be the nominee she would have won the popular vote and won the majority of the superdelegates. If you are a true democrat you will vote along party lines and not be racist because someone who is of color wins the nomination.

This is so funny!! You are all such sore losers...How was Hillary "betrayed by her own party". Because more people voted for Obama than her??? Was it becasue she agreed that MI and FL would not be counted at the start and she was ok with that because she thought she had this wrapped up because she is a Clinton?? I really dont understand how she was betrayed? Someone explain to me. I believe these people who post comments like this are Rush Limbaugh republicans. No sane american let alone a democrat would want McBush in office again. Higher healthcare cost, worst economy, further drop of the dollar value, $6 gas and bye bye roe vs.wade.

I am a Hillary supporter. I voted for her. But she lost (or will lose) fair and square. She lost because she has less delagates. even if MI and FL counts as is, which i think is not fair cause its against the rules at the start of the game. I am an American first and Democrat second and Hillary supporter third. If my third doesnt work out, I am always a democrat and would want to see a democrat in office. Obama and Hillary have very similar plans anyway. This is not a basketball game, its our next 8 years.

Fran, nobody expects the die-hard, uneducated and low-IQ Hillary supporters to fall behind the Democratic Party nominee. We live on a real-life world and not a immaginitive fantacy world.

Please forget 2012, that will not happen, maybe on a Independent Ticket, try working on that angle (Independent) because by 2012, the uneducated voters will (hopefully) get more educated or loose interest in the foolish world they live in.

nice reasoning from you fran, so to say,,,thats ur extent of iQ,,,, but you never thought that even Obama wont be stupid enough to accept clinton as his vice president,,so that she doesnt affect his wise decision and mar the whole course of his administration,, with her wrong judgement,,lies and negativities,,,,stop deceiving yourselves all clintonians,,,the only thing they have in common is the dnc,,obama has better iq than hillary, hillary is only insidious,,,and note this today,,,obama will win without or with the support of hillary followers,,, so please stop riding cockroach as a horse,,clintonians,,, obama knows the right person that has the very good sense of judgment,,,to pair him up,, and i wish hillary would remember her trick few months ago offering the leader the second place,, but thank God ,,people that have foresight and good visionaries still exist in usa,,God bless Obama, God bless America,,,,,,,,concerned white european,

fran is a loser!

Go Obama '08!

clinton and obama need to let it go clinton need to stop all the negative stuff that she sayin about him drop out the race and her and obama give it john in the fall because its a lot of racism going on with these races and all them racist people that voted for mrs clinton is not going to vote 4 obama in the fall is 2008 not the 1800s no more why yall cant let that stuff go its old it aint got yall no where it aint puttin yo kids threw school its not puttin any food on the table no money in your bank. go obama and the clintons 2008 they can change this counry

fran: He's won more of the popular vote. Isn't that the will of the people?

If she run in 2012 we Obama supporters won't vote for her either .

Now it is time for Hillary Clinton to go testify in the lawsuit charges against her husband in California. That guy Peter Paul is really pissed off against the Clintons for what they did to him or didn't do for him. Can't wait the drama, I would like to see Rocky Balboa in action again, maybe this time she is going to knock someone out!!

People like dodd ought to stay out of it. talking to a bunch at the coffee shop this morning they were saing that none of them would vote for Obama. as a southern democrat and 70 years old, i have many black friends but can not support Obama because i know nothing about him and dont trust him he has changed course too much.and yes he has lied to the people many times. i am afraid that he will be in for a rude awakening come november.

Its clear Obama is the winner here. I would like to propose Mark Warner for VP

Fran i presume the Obama fans do think exactly the same way you do...it's just alright for Mc CAIN .It would just prove that the dem are probably the most stupid political party in the world(Former French president Mr Mitterand used to to say that about one of the biggest parties called RPR in france and he was soooo right ...Let's just see the Dem party sink!!yeehaa!!

I have been reading these blogs for some time and now I am finally forced to write. To ask some questions.

I do not expect much in the way of rational answers but I feel obligated to provide the opportunity. It's simple – my son is in Iraq.

If Hillary is not elected will you kill my son by voting for McCain?

If Obama is not elected will you kill my son by voting for McCain?

Will you say "I told you so" as I bury him? Nanner nanner nanner?

Is there any reason I should not think you are all barking mad?

What kind of witless fools trade the lives of others just to say I told you so?

You not not sound very knowledgeable and you weren't a true Democrat. You were just a candidate fallower that was using the Democratics party. You must vote for the party nominee to get the house back. Bush is not deserve a third term to destroy this economy far more than he already did. Bush and McCain have enough money to live the rest of their lives and if they want they can retire now for live. You are the one that need a better economy. You are the one that live pay check to pay and it would be big shame all over your face to give McCain a third Change to spend a few more trillion on a war that at first was uneccesary.
America give me a very good reason why you will not vote for Barack?You probably do not have one other than racial. America it is the 21st century and it is time to give a man respect by the contain of their character not the color of their skin. Barack is very capable to make us American a very good president. Please stop all the division a let us unify as one nation not as klans of race.
Obama 08!

who in hell would want the Clintons as VP ? And yes I said CLINTONS.....
Obama would have to be insane and he is NOT.

Send Hillary back to the Senate.... I wouldn't trust her at all in ANY position in Obama's cabinet.

OBAMA '08

You sound dumb!!! For one, Obama will not lose. Second he have won more state and more vote.Finally if Hillary were to run for office again she will face a block of voter, who feel if Obama was to lose, it would because she want him to. By not campaign for him and bring up the race issues.

Fran,

Hillary 12'? Give me a break...

To Fran

You got it wrong there was no betrayal and if there was your candidate would have denounced it. Hillary is famous for being very talkative. i.e. She is still talking despite the fact she nows Barack is going to be the nominee.
You said :"Why should we support a party who did not support our choice for President" Because more people voted Obama.

Fran,

Hillary's party didn't betray her, she betrayed her party. Throughout the primary season she has ran her campaign unjustifiably negative and fought as if she were the republican. That is a no no amongst fellow dems. It's not a surprise to me that her core base is uneducated. Intelligent people see through her facade. This was Hillary's contest to lose and she chose NOT tap into the mood of the people. So Let's just stop this foolishness already and focus on what's more important for our future.

Democrats Unite 08'

Obama and Hillary are polar opposites of McCain on the issues, so if you vote for McCain because Hillary lost then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I repeat, please read-
I like those who are pushing Hillary to run as an Independent candidate:

If Hillary, with all the large democratic base, Clinton name etc.. cannot
–raise enough money to run the current campaign
–maintain the large superdelegate number that she started out with
–even win most of the "minority" votes
–keep her campaign leaders together,
–win over this "unknown" junior senatro– Obama, then let her run as an Independent candidate.

I wait for the Republicans to lay hands on Hillary; they are quite ready for her. She needs to be away from the democratic party by the time Republicans get to Hillary. The Clintons destroy just about anything that they touch. Good luck Hillary, run as an Independent candidate!!!

Thank you in advance for the McCain SCOTUS!

I am so with you, Fran. I simply cannot vote for Obama...ever. I don't want to vote for McCain but will if my party insists on backing Obama. In my heart and mind, I know Senator Clinton would do the best job. Also, I know she loves this country with all her heart. She's amazingly smart, resilient, and strong. There is no other real choice for the Democratic party.

I would think the top choices for VP would be Russ Feingold, John Edwards, and Tom Richardson. They each have a lot to offer in terms of compatibility with Obama's politics, and helping him win some close states. And I have every confidence that the majority of Clinton supporters are nowhere near as vindictive and short-sighted as fran here. Clinton supporters are intelligent, thoughtful people who understand what a John McCain White House would mean for the Supreme Court, world peace, our economy, and the challenges our planet faces with regard to fossil fuel consumption. This is the most important election of our lifetimes, even more important than the last two because there is so much damage that needs to be repaired in order to recover from eight years of pretending to be a cowboy.

Although I've heard some say expressing possibilty of a power house team if obama and clinton were on a ticket. I disagree. I am a democrat and have been a democrat since i was 18 years old. I think Hillary Clinton has ran a negative campaign which has turned off many voters. Americans are screaming for change and not looking for a leader who will bring down their party and the country. Senator Clinton has ran a great campaign and she is a "fighter". I think democrats will be turned off from voting for Obama in November if Clinton was on the ticket. Please Oboma, choose wisely. Thank you.

Democrates 2008, 2012

Fran, are you being serious? The democrats didn't turn their backs on her. SHE GOT LESS VOTES!! She won fewer states and fewer delegates.

Fran ,, Hillary has taken herself down without help from anyone, except for her husband of course. The American people wont stand for the Clinton style of politics or campaigning anymore. The queen was slain by her own hand. The my way or the highway approach just isn't going to work anymore, We have mostly grown up and can see for ourselves. The gas tax pandering and the racial overtones , plus the bogus sniper fire. It all comes home to roost. She has done more harm for women than will ever be measured. The set back will unfortunately be felt for many years to come. The next woman that comes along will have a tough battle to overcome.

karma does exist ... she will be fortunate to keep that senate seat that was also undeserved in the first place....Hopefully the good folks of New York state will see her for what she really is and send her home
as well ! ! !

Why not make it still a three horse race?..Hillary, go independant..your supporters will still vote for you.....

IT IS TIME FOR HILLARY TO GO INDEPENDENT , REAL CHANGE IS THERE . DNC NEED REALITY CHECK , CHANGE THE NAME OF THE PARTY TO AUTOCRATIC AND PRIMARIS TO “ 48 STATES SUPERDELEGATS VOTE“. THEY SHOULD MOVE DNC HEAD OFFICE TO THE MOSCOW AND CORDINATE FROM THERE . THEY WOUNDING DEMOCRATIC SISTEM IN THE COUNTRY AND DO NOT DESERVE RESPECT ANYMORE.

EVERY VOTE COUNT IN ALL 50 STATES OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THAT IS DEMOCRACY .

I am so pleased that some are calling for Hillary to run as an Independent candidate. This will be the BEST for the democrats. Given the history of the Clintons, it would be great for them to stay as far away from the democratic ticket as possible. Why?

1. The Republicans are hungry to lay gloves on Hillary; they want their revenge.

2. No 'fair-minded" American would want an "impeached family" to return to the White House. This is particularly the case in that the impeachment involved lying and sexual scandals!! So, let Hillary run as an Independent; she could also go back to being a Republican. This is not about women; it is about the history of the Clintons, they destroy just about anything they touch!

I really wish these elders would shut the hell up. They are not helping the situation at all. If democrats lose this election it's because the elders, and the media, not the candidates and the voters made mistakes. That being said, I implore all democrats out there, Obama voters and Clinton voters, look at the policies and ideas of your respective candidate. Realize they are almost identical. Obama has issues admittedly with Rev. Wright, but Hillary has quite a few issues as well. Neither is perfect. One gained more support than the other though. To vote against the ideas you believed in throughout this process is a vote against yourself. It's a vote against the future of your lives and the lives of your children.

Dear Senator Dodd,

Please understand, Clinton supporters support Clinton because they feel she is the best and only choice for a democratic president. Should another democrat be put in that position, and he ruins the democratic support, it will be a long time before there is another chance. If a republican gets in, then, is wasn't a democrat who messed things up and the next election will have a democrat for president.
The only way that I will vote for Obama, is if Clinton is on that ticket. I have talked to many people about this election and many, many of the Clinton supports feel the same way. If we do not see Clinton's name in some form, on the ballot, we will vote for McCain. Some of us have never voted for a republican in 30plus years and oh, by the way, we do vote every time.

That's right fran. But I'd also like to see Hillary go Independant in November. She wouldn't even need to campaign and she would win because a lot of Obama supporters have sobered up since February.

fran, the simple notion of an "i told you so" campaign for Hillary is so repulsive that there is no way the average democrat would vote for her if indeed Obama is defeated by McCain in November. I hope for the sake of this country that most hillary supporters are not as closed minded and vengeful as you, as you are obviously hoping for Obama to lose the election even though he would clearly represent your values better as a Democrat, simply for revenge. Think broader picture, please! Are four years of John McCain as president really worth the small chance to rub a defeat in Obama's face, and further split the party apart? I think not, and I have enough faith in humanity to believe that most Hillary supporters agree, because honestly their policies aren't all that different, and both would be better than McCain in my humble opinion.

Hillary has been betrayed? You are as delusional as her.You are getting the facts wrong! We the voters are supporting Senador Obama to be our next president. Anyway what make you think that I will vote for her in 2012? I will never vote for Miss Bosnia snipers Fire, I dont want that lying woman near the WH. She is a mentally sick woman who needs medical help. She does not belong in the White House.

Soy Latina y voto por Senador Obama

I am a centrist democrat leaning more towards left for most issues. The right wing never made any sense to me. But I have been wondering why the left lose election after election?
Now I know why, after watching this primary season. They have no regard for anybody else with an attitude I know all such as (Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Tim Russert, Campbell brown, Ronald Martin etc). And Yes, they hijacked the democratic party and betrayed Hillary Clinton. Let Obama have the nomination and lose the general election, which is going to happen anyway. History is repeating itself Kerry, Duckkakis, Mondale etc.

I agree with fran above. Hillary will say I told you.
Hilary 2012

Read Carl Bernstein today, you will understand why that ticket is not souhaitable..and too much hard...

For goodness sake! HOW was Hillary betrayed by her own party? Because she wasn't handed the nomination?

Also, what makes you think if Obama loses that HE won't run again in 2012? By then he'll have the experience you Clintonistas are claiming he doesn't have. (Personally, I think he is more than qualified)

The Clinton brigade thinks this nomination and election is something HRC is entitled to, and that was her first mistake. She'd make that mistake in 2012 as well, if given the chance.....The Clintons, as a rule, DO NOT learn from their mistakes, if that were true, Bill never would have had an affair in the Oval Office and Hillary would have learned early on her embellishments would be proven false. They both lie with no effort whatsoever.

People are tired of that type of politician, which is why Obama is the presumptive nominee and not HRC.

HRC is bad news and should go and retire. WE WILL WIN the WHITE HOUSE without her and her baggage PERIOD. YOU HRC supporters can make all the noise you want but that is the clear fact and that is why she could not win the normination...

I will write in Hillary Clinton...

then after 35 years I will leave the democratic party. It no longer stands for justice, freedom, respect for all.

It is now full of slanderous, vitriolic extremist spewing the rhetoric of hate. Makes a mockery of all we have fought to achieve over the past 50 years.

Yes, the Clintons were part of that movement to make America better. To chew Hillary up and spit her out- well it turned away more voters than it drew in.

The Hillary hate you all exploited and reported and spun was a myth. The woman is loved and respected.

Gosh fran, that's a mature and constructive attitude, especially considering all the problems we face. Democrats of either camp who have this "my way or I'll take my ball and go home" approach to this election are hurting themselves just as much as anyone else. Grow up...

Obama – do not put Hillary on your ticket!

If she was so great – she would be ahead of you and she would win this race!!!

It gives me pleasure to see a rookie bring down the powerful Slintons!

Ditto. Hillary's party denigrated her. They picked right up where the Republican right wing left off. I won't vote for Obama-Clinton, or Obama-Strickland, or Obama-Richardson, or Obama-God.
Nobama, NoKennedy, No Richardson, NoKerry, NoDaschle, No
Wilhem, NoDodd., .. Get the message?

Dear Fran,
The process is called DEMOCRACY! You see, the person with all the popular vote, most states, delegates and super delegates wins the election. Now just how do you feel this was a flawed election? I believe anyone could beat your candidate on any given day. I think if its a gender problem that your having, you might pick a better woman in the years to come.

Hillary has stated several times that she will support and campaign for the eventual nominee, no matter who it is.

Not everyone is as childish and spiteful as you are, fran.

I am so pleased that some are calling for Hillary to run as an Independent candidate. This will be the BEST for the democrats. Given the history of the Clintons, it would be great for them to stay as far away from the democratic ticket as possible. Why?

1. The Republicans are hungry to lay gloves on Hillary; they want their revenge.

2. No 'fair-minded" American would want an "impeached family" to return to the White House. This is particularly the case in that the impeachment involved lying and sexual scandals!! So, let Hillary run as an Independent; She could also go back to being a Republican. This is not about women; it about the history of the Clintons!

To poster Fran!

Well Fran above – Please go to Mc Cain's website and let them know that you and some of Hillary's supporters will be voting for him and sending him money! It really doesn't matter that you will not vote for Obama – you haven't voted for him and as you can see (: he won without your lousy vote! (: It gives me pure pleasure to tout this in your face!

Considering how nasty Hillary was to Obama – she will not be on his ticket – and some of Hillary supporters will not be joining us as we travel to Penn-Ave – White House 2009!

Some of you Hillary supporters should put the blame on Hillary, her staff and mainly -–you lousy supporters of hers! How dare you let Hillary run out of money! How dare you not give Hillary more votes and states for her to win!!!

Some of you Hillary supporter's sound and act just like Hillary!
Ha,ha,ha,aha,ha,ha,ha.... I just love it! Eat your heart out! I know – you must be bitter!

Two things: Hillary is losing and she will not be Obama's VP!

Take your blames to Hillary's website!

Can you say------------ President Obama?

Ok people goto Obama's web page and go to Hillary Clinton's web page. People on Hillary web page are nice and really no bad mouthing of BO.
Now go to Obamas , people there are nasty and the things said about Hillary was just plain mean. I have seen like the Philly that got put to sleep , them saying the same should be done to Hillary.
I will not join with them . They are full of to much hate.

Who needs Billary to push Obama around? She might just push him off a cliff!! She`s old Washington politics, we need "CHANGE". She does need money to refill her bank account after using some of her "ELITIST" millions. Hence her wanting to take from the blue collar folks to refill her wallet! Unfortunately, a lot of folks fell for her fooling!

Too late for unity now.

We saw what you thought of us when we chose to vote for Hillary Clinton.

We didn't appreciate all the hate and scorn and name-calling and betrayals and biased criticism and divisive labels.

WRITE IN HILLARY CLINTON.

well I am glad you can predict the future...but the point of the presidential election is back up the person who represents you and your views the most...its not about picking the other guy just cause your person lost and now your all whiney about it. It clearly just isn't time for Hillary, thank god.

Fran, take a chill pill. Sounds like Hillary should just build a compound for her family and her supporters, cecede from the US and become prez of her own country. Geez!

This was hers to lose...nobody did anything to shut her down. How many ways/times can this be said? She had the "experience", clout, money, connections, Bill, and so much more. Why didn't she win?

Obama has had to work through major baggage and he did it with intelligence and general cool. CNN is still carrying a story dealing with Rev. Wright on this page why? Obama stayed consistent and didn't adapt (AKA pander) to the constituencies in each state. HRC on an Obama ticket? NIGHTMARE!!! I think the whole world is excited about working with a thoughtful President after dealing with Bush all these years.

Why should he put her on the ticket after the way she treated him? So disrespectful.

I'm fed up with the comments of people like Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi. There is no way this Hillary supporter will vote for BO. I'm voting McCain till Hillary can come back.

fran -

As much as I understand your desire to see Hillary Clinton as president, I vehemently urge you to reconsider. A vote for McCain is a vote for four more years of a deepening recession, which the same Hoover-style trickle-down economics, a step backwards for civil rights, human-rights, and abortion rights in the Supreme Court, and the continued deaths of our brave men and women in Iraq. Hillary Clinton has and always will be an extraordinary woman, and her role as a leader in the Senate will go definitely go down in history. But please, even if it means holding your nose while you go in the voting booth, vote for Barack Obama. He isn´t perfect, but the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.

If Barack Obama finally wins the democratic nomination for president, it would be simply because the majority of democrats chose him as their candidate. Supporters of Hillary Clinton would do well to bear this in mind because at the end of the day, all democrats in all the states of the country save Michigan and Florida, would have contributed their votes towards the final delegate counts for each candidate. So which ever candidate is victorious in the end, cannot ask for greater legitimacy in carrying the party's flag in November.

Fran, go vote for McCain so that your daughter won't get equal pay with men (MCcAin thinks we need more training) and let him repeal Roe Vs Wade and stay in Iraq a million more years, Hope that makes you feel great:)

I am convinced that most of the dirty bloggers are republican trying to divide and conquer and the dems are falling for the bait. Why cant we just all get along if not for our sake let it be for the sake of our children.

I am a Obama supporter but if Hillary gets the nomination i will vote for her, never McLame.

Please Dems lets put hand and heart together and take back our White House.

Thanks you and may God continue to bless us.

Heaven forbid if there were a joint ticket. Poor Obama would have to increase security, have a food taster and sleep with one eye open. Remember the dead guy in the park – the Clinton friend? I think the Clintons are capable of anything to get to the Presidency. She should just go home – wherever that is – and spend her time counting all her money. She has millions, yet identifies with the blue collar workers? Give me a break. The blue collar workers that are voting for her are a bunch of idiots. Her father or grandfather may have been a blue collar worker, but that has nothing to do with her. They are out of work because of NAFTA. Who loved NAFTA? it was the Clintons. Alot of our grief including 9/11 is the domino effect from the Clinton years. Wake up people. As far as West Va goes, they are so backwoods and bigoted, they won't vote for a black man, yet they are going to vote for a woman, when they won't take any lip or crap out of their own women at home..

It is not good to have her on the ticket, she is not for change while obama is for it. she brings nothing to the table that shows change, there are other women like the governor of arizona and other good women in the party to take the VP spot.
no to Hillary.

Gee, you think it might be possible that all these people saying an Obama-Clinton ticket is not likely are saying that because THEY might like to get on that ticket?

I'm just saying.

Whatever Fran, you're just a biased and bitter woman with delusions of grander if you think Hillary will even get a second chance in 2012. A good majority of the democratic party cannot stand Hillary so I very much doubt she'll have another chance.

It was fun while it lasted, but it's time to move on.

Obama 2008

I'm quitting the Democratic party, and will vote for Obama over my dead body.

It is not democratic to swiftboat your own best candidate.

And to be so hateful and disgusting about it- gleeful and drooling all the way.

People voted for Hillary Clinton because she was not only the best choice available- but she is the best democratic candidate in my voting lifetime.

I will stand by my choice till the end- in Nov.

The previous comment frustrates me to no end. No one "stole" the election from anyone. Your threats are childless and petulant, and demean everything that feminism fought so hard to attain. I would ask that everyone put the party and the country's needs before your own desires, and work very hard to have the nominee elected. I, for one do not want to see a reversal of Roe v Wade, the continuance of the Iraq war, the continued dwindling economy, and healthcare issues ignored. Both ran a valiant race, however there is always a winner and a loser. Because you did not get the particular "win" you wanted is like a 3 yeard picking up their ball and going home because they made an out. Feminists rights were fought for so that we would have the right to do as each woman feels is right, it is not voting for a woman because she is a woman. It's to to grow up and move forward to the Democratic party being in the White House. It is your choice.

I'm a Hillary supporter with a master's degree who spent over thirty years in public education. I know Hillary will not be the nominee, but I need some hefty convincing to vote for your boy Obama. What can you say to convince me and others that he is right for the job. Also, please answer this question. If Barack was so sure that he was right about the war vote, why, when he gave his landmark speech at the 2004 convention, did he not condemn Kerry and Edwards for their affirmative votes the way he has hounded Hillary for hers? Looking forward to hearing from you. And please-specifics only. I've had it up to here with the warm and fuzzies.

Exactly. Obama is a mistake.

Awww, Here we go again. The party establishes guidelines at the begin and all of a sudden the Cliton camp wants to change those rules because they are behind. Her campaign is running out of money and in debt (great management, she really has more support than Obama). The reality is that Obama will win the nomination and we all need to concentrate and back Obama in November 08.

We do not need another Bush(McCain) for 4 more years. So I don't know What Fran means by , "I have accepted that McCain will be the next president but only for one term and then Hillary can run again with the "I told you so" campaign."

That is accepting failure and Obama and the Party will not lose we can not wait till 2012, that is just ridiculous. Americans are not stupid and come November 08, Clinton supporters will back Obama and the party will be united.

Choosing Senator Clinton for VP would be a horrible mistake. She would undermine the presidency faster than a speeding bullet. Senator Obama should be advised to pick someone he can trust if he is the Dem nominee.

thank you thank you Mr. Dodd, we all know she will sabotage the party, the nomination, the presidency
we also voted for Obama, not for Clinton..............

May you and the rest of the leaders, stand up to the clintons, we want change, we dont want the same old same old, no corruption, no millions beind made at our expense,
no elitists
no people like the clintons who will do whatever to get to power.

i think that if she is anywhere in his administraiton she will see to it, that all goes wrong, a woman like her who is so despiteful adn resentful for not getting what she feels entitled to , will do wahtever it takes.. to ruin other's furtunes.. she has shown her personal traits throughout this campaign.

so no more clintons in any level I am sure by 2012 or 1218 chelsea will be running so we have not seen the end of the clinton machine

I pray the damage Hillary has done with her racial pandering can be repaired. By both she and her husband. I will choose hope over the bitter thought that they really don't care about anyone except for their wealthy friends and themselves.

Those "Democrats" who refuse to support the Democratic nominee chosen by the people, through the delegate accumulation process, I will hope for you, too. Hope you have a bigger heart than some of your words reflect.

It costs one plenty to have a hardened heart. Hope is free.

Dodd is in the loop or he wouldn't have said anything. Hillary ran a tough campain, but now it is time to bow out gracefully. I hope that the party will come together to support Obama....I am getting the sense that it will.

"Fran" in the first post: Grow up. Make the right choice here. Hillary will be fine and so will you.

IT IS TIME WE GIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE CREDIT.

Is Hillary Clinton not tailor-made to win this nomination at least by SUPER TUESDAY?

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR HER. If she can't answer this question satisfactorily, then she is not ready to be president and therefore should immediately drop out of this Primary.

Why is you, Hillary Clinton, having been anointed and tailor-maid by the virtue of your name and position in the DEM PARTY to capture this Nomination almost unopposed, suddenly found yourself reeling from the possibility of a brutal defeat that has the potential of agonizingly bringing to an end your political career?

Last time I checked, I haven't received an answer yet.

Well I agree with Mr Dodd. Hillary is looking for super power, and super power we know she can. With peter paul case that is a proof I she is intended to manage,, Watch her because it's not over, she will do anything to broke the party if she is not the nominee and all of you her supporters you will have to live with that...

The way that Hillary got screwed over by Florida and Michigan makes me UN-proud right now to be a Democrat.

to fran – that what was election for You about? Someone's personal ambitions or the fate of the Country, that might be thrown to 100 years in Iraq?

Are You Normal human being or hyusterical person, who can not conduct Yourself?
Answer these questions Yourself

We've got to stop talking about this VP thing, cause it is scaring the crap out of me. People are always bringing up Kennedy-Johnson as a good example of the machiavelian old-school fighter becoming the VP of the young idealist. Not to drag in the conspiracy theories or anything... but Kennedy did not fare well in his first term. I'm not here to say that the magic bullet theory was a bunch of bs, but it is something to think about if that's the only example we have of bitter rivals teaming up.

I'm sure Clinton would bring some sort of helpful voting bloc to the table as a VP. But as a general note, it is unwise to stand directly between a competitive psycho and his/her goals.

Fran:
Please know that the same feelings you have run just as deep for the Obama supporters.
Nothing has been stolen from Senator Clinton, she gave it away . Her problem was that she didn't take Obama seriously, she was so certain that she would knock him out by super tuesday that it became like the tale of the tortoise and the hare. She stopped to take a nap and the turtle crept right on by her.
When I first learned that she was going to run, I was excited by what I remembered of the Clinton Presidency, but during this campain I have learned things about their "win at any cost attitude" that causes me to feel just as strongly against them as you do Senator Obama.

You are a complete idiot "if you think Hillary Clinton was cheated out of the presidential nominee". You are just another one of those conservative democrats who hate the idea of a Black American male becoming president! You so out of touch "you can't tell when someone is not going to fight for you in or out of the White House"! All you know is "keep this Black man out of the Oval office"!

Go and vote for McCain – All of you conservative democrats who support Hillary can vote for McCain. We do not need you! Actually, you are the type of people this country needs to get away from and maybe this will bring about that change!!!! Please fall with your candidate.

You are hypocrites and do not stand for the "true meaning of the United States"!

OBAMA '08'

Fran, I find it disturbing that you and the rest of the "I told you so" Clinton supporters will be willing to sacrifice more of our young men and women to the Iraq war.

The "flawed" choice won fair and square, according to the rules, that may be broken to appease Hillary and her supporters, but will still not allow her to overtake Obama in pledged delegates and the popular vote.

By the way, do you hear the drip, drip, drip of superdelegates recently?

It is over. Senator Clinton is no longer "Living History". She is living "his" story. The Obama juggernaut defeated the royal family.

Phil T.

Funny thing, but when you shoot yourself in the foot... then you are left to limp along thereafter.

Should have respected Hillary Clinton and her supporters.

Should never have sacrificed your own best candidate and thrown her to the wolves.

Did you think silent meant we were in agreement? No, silent means that the least vitriolic always make up the majority of the people. And the loud mouths are just louder and demand more oil.

Dodd needs to shut up. He has cried for the last 3 months.

Why are you Hilary & Obama supporters bashing one another .. you all are acting like true republicans .........

when the race is over i hope we all will UNITE .. no mater if the nominee is Hilary or Obama ...

Democrats 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary betrayed by her party?
Are you serious???? I hope not!!
Hillary dug herself a big hole by lying, going negative and taking the nomination for granted. She was very arrogant going into the campaign thinking that it was a done deal. Therefor her campaign wasn't as thought through and well organized as it should have been. You can't blame Obama for being more organized, having bigger financial support and leading a more appealing campaign.
Hillary supporters suggest that they would rather have their country go down in Republican style than to vote for Obama. This is very selfish and dumb. Basicly saying "If it's not Hillary, than we will vote for war, tax cuts for the rich etc." At the end they will punish themselves for thinking so childishly and narrow minded.

Well put fran, my vote will be for McCain if Hillary is not on the ticket

His people should be quiet. Way they have bashed Hillary no way the democratic party will be unified

Absolutely. NO WAY we can accept Clinton, the liar on the ticket. Barack will chose someone who shares his hope for change and is NOT DIVISIVE and dangerous as HRC. If he gets HER on the ticket he will lose! in November! We all know that! Forget Clintons, they are history.. She will never ever be elected for anything..

90% of american African votes are for obama which means the blacks support obamam "is that not racism ". so why is it not possible that 50% of white democrats vote McCain . like 90 % blacks vote obama .

is that not possible in the GE

if the African American can go towards obama why not the European American go towards McCain

well who lnow this is something real that the democrats are to think .

another will the hispanic or asians trust a african american or will e trust a white ........................

If obama was so thoughtful of his white grand mother , why didnt he choose his white grand mothers church ..............? why was it important to choose a african church ............?lots of question needs to be answered .

All these old farts that support obama are not images of change. They want women to sit in the back of the bus so they can rule the country on their own. Many of the people supporting obama are not for change. They are just using this opportunity to help themselves in future political jobs.

Freedom means getting to WRITE HILLARY CLINTON IN.

You think Hillary Clinton was tough?

Watch the will of her supporters as we stand for what we believe in- as we have done forever- and not bow down to convention, racism, hatred and public executions.

This good woman was raped by her own party, the media and the Obama supporters.

Sorry... you all turn my stomach. I believe in freedom, equality, justice, respect and justice.

Fran and other Hillary supports,

If you want Hillary for Pres. then you can vote for her in 2012 again, but for 2008 it is over for Hillary the liar and do anything to win. Try donating your dollars to help her out of her campaign debt since you have so much faith in her.

Any one who say they are a democratic and want to vote opposite because their chose is not going to be the nominee. Then you were not a democrat in the beginning and stop being redundant. Do what you fell you have to do and don't blame anybody but your idiot self.

For the rest of Hillary supports. If you can not embrace Sen. Obama black half then embrace his white half, because I can embrace both equally.

It's about time that Clinton supporters realize that she is pursueing something that was not meant to be.Her supporters should see that Clinton and Obama share the same opinions and have the same view ,and that's why they are democratic leaders.If Obama becomes the nominee they should realize that if they vote for Obama they would vote for Hillary,and viceversa.If they don't,the whole world would regret their choice for any other candidate.DEMOCRATS 2008!!!!!!!!!

Fran –

How exactly do you figure that Hillary was the majority of the democrats' choice for president? If you haven't noticed, Obama has won the popular vote and has the most delegates. Hillary was not betrayed by her party because she is NOT who the majority of her party (regular U.S. citizens, not party leaders/superdelegates) wanted to be the next president of the United States of America.

Fran,

Speak for yourself...we are rallying behind OBAMA 08

Sorry

Obama/Dodd '08

Pound Hillary to a pulp a while longer why don't you?

That will lose you all a few more million votes.

Sorry... Obama and his bandwagon of hate and division don't need me.

I don't care to watch a good woman, a dedicated public servant and the BEST candidate torn to shreds by rabid dogs.

I don't find that inspiring.

It is frusrating and darn right infuriating to hear people suggest that Hillary is the only one who can win McCain in the fall when her position on a lot of issues are similar to Obama's and many other candidates they both ran with earlier in the primaries. What is it with this pit bull attitude of hers? Is it more about her personal interest than it is the party's and the nation's interests? I am a woman who would have loved to see a woman president. But the issue at stake is not about race or gender but about a nation which the world is looking up to for leadership. A nation that is hungry for something better than what we've got. And they have spoken that Obama is the guy who will give them what they are loking for. To say that all those people who didn't choose you but voted for Obama are naive and demon possessed is arrogant and prideful. The bible said pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall . Mrs. Clinton has carried her war to the extreme and it might begin to destroy her. Therefore we don't need her on the ticket. She injected hate in to the context which the prmise is based on love and care for one another. We may have forgiven her for what she did and said but we don't need to be reminded daily about it. And that's what we will do if we have her on the ticket.

Obama/Dodd '08

You got that right on fran!!

I hope Hillary runs as an Independent!! She would blow both Obama and McCain out of the water!!

If not, I will vote for McCain!!

CNN, I am pretty sure you will NOT post this, but I have to try!
I am a supporter of Senator Clinton, and I do not want to hear talk about her taking the second spot on the ticket if Senator Obama is at the top! In fact, I don't want to hear any of this "it's over" talk at all! The primaries go on until June. Let the rest of the people have their say. Then let the superdelegates do their job, and NOT before! The DNC and the main stream media have been trying to force their candidate down the throats of the voters for months. The latest example is the incident when Senator Clinton paraphrased the AP, and the media turned it into a racist statement supposed to have been made by her. As someone who has voted for the Democratic candidate since 1972, I find this year to be the single most difficult I have ever encountered. What the DNC seems to be forgetting is that the core of the Democratic party are the same people who are supporting Senator Clinton, and without them their chances in November are nil. If anyone honestly believes these "newcomers" to the party will make up for the "core" voters absence, I think they are mistaken. If anyone has divided the Democratic party, I believe it is the DNC, deciding to promote an ultra liberal candidate with questionable ties to extremists. Should Senator Obama be the nominee, I will change my affiliation from Democratic to Independent, and I do not think I will be alone. And now I am sure someone out there will call me a racist, as I cannot and will not support Senator Obama as I do not find him to be all that he claims.

No body is going to listen wht Mr. Dodd is saying.
i am a democrat and i have been in the pary last 10 yrs.
If hillary is not in the ticket, i would be for Sen.Mccain alongwith hundreds of democrats that we can see for exit polls.

Fran,
Get over it! Obama won the campaign fairly. It is sad that you like many Hillary supporters are sore losers and two-face people who rather divide a party than unite ie. People like you are sad... sad, sad, sad Do everyone a favor and don't vote.

Thanks!! Obama '08

Fran,

How very courageous of you to turn your back on the ideals of the Democratic Party because you didn't get your way. If you haven't been paying attention, THE VOTERS have chosen Obama over Hillary. The only remaining path for Hillary to win is for the party insiders, the superdelegates, to OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE VOTERS. Which path do you think will disenfranchise more voters?

How very elevated you must be to risk McCain putting more conservative judges on the Supreme Court because you didn't get your way. How pleasantly surprised you will be after a stacked Supreme Court overturns ROE V. WADE.

How very mature of you to abandon the hope of universal healthcare because you didn't get your way.

Is this election about you and your desires? Because I thought this was about the American people, not female voters.

If spiteful Clinton supporters like you don't snap out of their self-induced bitterness, the only one running a "I told you so" campaign in '12 will be Barack Obama. Let's see how well you sleep in the bed you've made.

Hillary can never run for President again after the racial and especially sexist campaign she's run. Hillary supporters should fall in line because MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM, and McCain is a terrible choice for the country. Some people are just so thick-head they put their gender and race before their country.

I love my country

I love my fellow Americans.

I love Hillary Clinton.

The DNC ran Hill through the ringer and took her to the cleaners and the media loved the show.

Who doesn't love a good stoning?

I don't.

Obama will never earn my vote- he can only attract followers that are literally drooling at the mouth with hate and vulgarity.

It's increasingly obvious that Hillary knows she's lost, and is now trying to position herself as the VP who can capture the votes Obama can't. Though their policies are very similar, the Clinton Machine style is one of accusation, distortion, and divisvness. The Obama Machine style is one of collaboration, and working together to make the end result better than what could be obtained with divided forces. The two styles are mutually exclusive, and would not work in a President/VP scenario. In normal tickets, the VP is a quiet representative and diplomat for the President's policies. I cannot, in my wildest dream, imagine Hillary as a quiet representative and diplomat. Obama would have to spend half his time explaining why Hillary or Bill said or did something stupid. Nope. Not a good idea. If it's suggested, Barack, run for the hills. Make Hillary your Secretary of Health and Welfare. Give Bill a post, too, and go find someone for your VP that will actually help you get your work done.

I agree. I know that Hilliary supporters for the most part will NOT vote for Obama under any circumstance. I've voted Democratic my whole life, as has my immediate family. We have all stated to one another that we will jump party lines in Obama gets the nod, because of his lack of experience and radical opinions.

fran,your candidate lost this nomination,herself.she only has herself to blame.you sound like a republican.why do you take it out on a fellow democrat,because of your candidates mistakes.do the rest of us not have a right to vote for the candidate of our own choosing,because it hurts your feelings?the issues of our time can't wait 4 more years,to be addressed,just because you are mad.

who are you CNN to decide who wins or who looses ? so strange you stick to winning parties side . hell get yourself a report rater then decide the results .

who won in zimbabwe ? can you tell us ? who really won in russia ? can you judge it ? you dont judge there why are you after to reclaim the democrat winner ?

let the voters decide who is the winner ? why do you want to end the race and are up to you heels to end it ? american wants and like every state every state all want their voce heard . we have seen you all how biased you guys are ? look at the debate of the republican how you were inetersted only in mccain and his 2nd running man . huccabe and paul were left alone a

I am neither for hillary nor for obama but want it to be bias . you report equally please . and let he voters decide .

a basketball or any sports match is won at the end not before that means when the required time and or so is required to finish .

for 17 months they fought and today for 3 weeks you make a big hell of a deal to make hillary look as a spoiler .

please CNN just report dont decide .

And then the millions of Obama supporters that remembered how Hillary threw the first stone, spent her time dividing the party against one another, and conspired to have Obama lose so she could set herself up for a '12 run will strike her down before she can even start.

If Obama is flawed, what does that make Hillary? A catastrophe, and a pathetic one at that. The threat to defect is empty and meaningless, designed only to bully us into accepting your pitiful candidate. It won't work.

I highly doubt that Obama will choose Hillary as his running mate. Throughout the course of the campaigning, Hillary has lied, cheated, and accused Obama of horrible things. Now, finally, when it is very clear that Obama will win the democratic primaries, Hillary is still refusing to give in, taking money away from Obama by doing so. Also, the only reason that Hillary has presented is that she would get women's, poor whit people and Hispanic's votes, but Hillary is not the only one who could do such things. Despite what some people say, Hillary and Obama together would be as far from the 'Dream Ticket' as possible.

Wake up Americans, A vote for MCBush/Cain is a vote for another crazy period of 4 years. Obama & CLinton fought hard and one must win, If Obama is the choice, do not loose your future because of bitterness.

No matter who wins the democratic nomination, I'm voting for Obama. I'll write in his name if I have to. If he runs with Hillary Clinton, though, I'll abstain for the first time in my life. She will ruin this country just like McCain will.

The first comment by Hillary supporter is very empty and makes no sense. What counts? delegates, popular votes etc etc and Obama is leading. So, do you want the DNC to nominate Hillary from nowhere? This will be the silliest thing that the DNC wouldn't want to do.

For your information, Obama will not repeat the mistake of President Kennedy for norminating his rival Johnson as running mate. Johnson succeeded in killing him.

How can we NOT unify.

We loved the racism charges, the redneck hick labels, the uneducated ,moron, idiot, and some really vulgar names we were called.

Especially the college educated HRC supporters who have worked for civil rights for decades.

Sure... we'll unify.

On what planet are these people living on?

I used to hope for an Obama/Hillary Dream Ticket. But now, after Hillary has sank to such low tactics as race baiting and fear mongering. trying to fool voters that only she can get the white vote. Even after Obama drew such white voter support in Texas, Iowa and Indiana. Hillary's reputation is severly damaged. she has now become a liability to the Democrats.

Okay Fran....Hillary or highwater, eh?

First and foremost, Hillary and Barack are Democrats. Saying that you will not support the party – with its vision and ideals that make it the Democratic party – simply because the MAJORITY of Democratic supporters felt that another individual would best represent the party, certainly makes you anything but a Democrat.
To you Fran, "It's all about Hillary!"
Please note; it isn't called the "Hillaric" Party...it's called the Democratic party...no matter who the leader is.

Democrats 2008!

I guess I must face reality: it looks like the Dems are going to go with Senator Barack McGOVERN, after all. This is such a disaster, this election by CNN. No one has questioned why he has garnered 90% of the so-called "Black Vote"; but they lambast Senator Clinton for saying he has yet to secure the 'White Vote'. Can someone please tell me how 90% of Black voters all came to the same conclusion that Barack McGovern gets their vote? Did they all like his Defense Budget Realignment position? His past policy on Capital Gains Distribution Clearances? I thought so. Well, let me be among the first to suggest that "the rest of us" vote for Senator Hillary Clinton as a "write in" – that's what this LIFELONG Democrat will be doing in November.

Fran writes: If these so called party leaders think that us Hillary supporters are just going to fall in line behind their flawed choice, then they'd better think again. It's not going to happen.

Fran, Obama has been winning without your support up to this point. Go on dreaming for a Hillary 2012 run against McCain.. If your scenario were to come true, McCain will have already changed the face of the Supreme Court for years to come and set back women's rights for years to come. McCain has promised it.

Fran,

Do you realize that clinton is losing? How can the party steal the nomination from her if shes behind Obama in all areas. Wouldn't it be the reverse?

Plus why would you vote for Mccain? There is such a big difference between Mccain and Obama / Clinton.
One just has to ask himself / herself, has the past 8 yrs been good to the United States of America? If yes go ahead and vote for MCCAIN otherwise get real, Mccain is similar or even worse than Bush.

USA 2008.....Time for Change.

Of course we will all unify behind the nominee.

Nothing encourages that more than calling his opponent and her supporters: idiots, bigots, inbred, redneck, morons, stupid, ignorant, uneducated, trivial, uninformed etc etc.

After you have been spit on and pissed on and dissed in every possible way- UNITY is a hard sell.

What I want to establish from Obama,is the question,whether he still believes in the old Washington politics as usual??? Some of these old Wasington politicos,are making decissions only Obama would make if he had a chance to be the nominee,Why double standard with others and fierce criticism with one? That is the typical Washington politics you seem to have grasped so quick and continues to criticise!Do you think that is fair??

I think Obama should be very,very wary of Hillary on the ticket as VP candidate.

I don't trust her to the point that, if their ticket were elected, I think she would do every thing possible to continue to "make him look bad" as president, because there is always 2012 coming and she could run against him again, saying that she should have been the candidate in 2008. Also, she would be 2nd in line for president, if something should happen to him while president, therefore making her president. It appears that she is very determined to become president somehow.

Senator Clinton was not betrayed by the Democratic Party. She ran a flawed, ruthless, old-style campaign, that was clearly rejected by the majority of the popular vote, the majority of state primaries and caucuses, and now a majority of superdelegates. The only flawed candidate in this overlong selection process was Senator Clinton herself.

Now the lunatic fringe feminists for Clinton are willing to scuttle the whole country for the sake of getting a female in the White House. How sad!

Not ALL of Hillarious supporters will rally behind Sen. Obama for the simple fact he is "different" from Hillary!
Whatever your "reason" is if you are a TRUE DEMOCRAT then all your reasons are just simply EXCUSES!
Hillary have alot, ALOT of baggage goin into the GE and thats why the Republican wants her to win so they can slaughter her! If you haven't realized Sen Obama have not hit her with any smear attacks, twisted her words and bring up any of her many flaws!
If any of you think Hillary would stand a chance to win the GE after the Republicans get done smashing, bashing and smearing with the many many many amo they have on Hillary! THING AGAIN!
With Sen. Obama all their amo have already been exausted by Hillary!

The media decided to promote Obama after the Iowa primaries. That is evident by all the positive press that he has received. Until the Rev. Wright comments, the press for Obama was largely positive and Hillary's was 99 percent negative. I never realized the level of hatred for the Clinton's. It will be interesting to see if the Clinton haters that voted for Obama will vote for him in the general election. As a life-long Democrat, I will not vote in the general election. I am very disappointed in how the Democratic primary process was conducted Excluding Florida and Michigan will prove to be a mistake. Also, the caucus process is not fair to a large number of voters, specifically sick, elderly, single parents , people that work at night, etc. One suggestion I would like to make to Obama supporters is "You should try being not so nasty before you turn away more Democrats".

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!!! And now what was expected with all the old-timers stepping up their announcement of endorsement almost before Obama himself did. First, Ted Kennedy comes out speaking emphatically that Hillary would NOT be a good VP candidate, and now the AARP+ candidate, Chris Dodd, telling everyone - Obama mainly, that she will NOT be a good choice for him to make. Can John Kerry be far behind? All these old has-been Democrats realize that this is their harrah - that they have a wilting flower in Barack Obama, and will be joined with all the others licking their chops with palms out ready to be greased. They knew that no such deal could or would be made with Hillary. This is just the beginning. I knew it!

Well fran, that can be turned around...why should we support a party who doesn't support our candidate for POTUS. Its democrats who are voting, along with independents and cross-over republicans. So if Senator Obama gets the nomination the democrats need to come together. It is not Hillary Clintons party...its the Democratic Party. Noone in this country has a "right" to be elected. They earn it by appealing to the voters. Winner take all. I hope you rethink your post here. White woman over 60 from the Great state of Michigan.

To Clinton’s supporters, there’s nothing wrong with the elections process she’s just happens to lose. If you vote for McCain because of that, then you’re joking with your country future. In this hard time of America economic, McCain will still continue fighting unnecessary war in Irag, continue wasting young Americans women and men lives in Irag, continue wasting billions of dollar in Irag, and people are facing hard time economic back home. Then you must not complain because he never promised you to stop the war, after all, he said he knew less about economic. I bet he will even attack Iran. Well this is not my own business, I’m not American and I don’t live in America. I just want peace in the whole world.
I knew CNN would not post this comment as usual.

In an above post, Harry says Hillary should run as an Independant. I agree completly. If Hillary goes Independant, then all the whiner punk Hitlery youth that keep thrreatening to vote McBush, can all leave the Dems. Then the Democrats will be purged of the race hatred that has surfaced in these primaries. Lets gather all the trash in one pile and be well rid of it.

If he runs with that crook after all the change he's touting, he'll lose my vote for sure.....

The arrogance of these elected public servants is sickening .
First they take it upon themselves to tell Clinton to quit the race and now they want to make sure that she wouldn't even be a possible choice for VP.
Clinton has an almost equal amount of popular support from the voters and it is very foolish indeed for these politicians to make these statements.
Hillary Clinton has fought a very brave battle to become the nominee , the press has been Obama's biggest supporter and all the old boys in Washington have peddled their political influence behind locked doors.
The DNC and leadership are a joke , endorsements are political pandering and as for Michigan and Florida not being allowed to have their votes counted , is a violation of democracy.
It is " we the people " that will decide who will be the next President and come November our voices will be heard.

"so why should we support a party who did not support our choice for the President"
Why do all Hillary supporters feel like she is ENTITLED to the nomination?
We are all in the political party, whoever gets the most delegates IS the nominee.
Why do you think your vote is worth more than mine?
Your going to say FL or MI change it?
No, they dont. Obama would still win without them AND they broke the rules and pay the price. Its unfortunate but we cant go and bend the rules just so someone with LESS delegates represents the party when WE the people chose someone else., even if its by the slimmest margins. Winning is winning. Why even bother with the delegates and votes if someone else decides who is the actual winner?
Unlike you I would not support McBush if Obama miraculously did not get the nomination. It makes no sense! Clinton and Obama have almost identical views, McBush's are waaaay different.
By voting Republican you are going against everything your candidate has campaigned for.

Im sure she will have her chance and, if after Obama's two terms end, she wants to run we will support her 100%.

Now is just not her time, its Obama's time according to the voters.

Just vote Democratic party and be very proud that you are not enabling a 3rd Bush term.

I prior to Obama was voting for Hillary. I voted for her husband twice. I am so glad that this race has gone for the time that it has. I am able now to see the true Hillary. The will say and do anything Hillary.

-Mississippi – she was stating you can have us both liar.
-Ohio – touting she would renegotiate NAFTA liar
-Penn – gun toting whiskey drinking Hillary
-Indiana touting a fake gas tax that would in the end benefits no one
-West Virginia. – She is courting the working, hard working, white Americans with out a college degree.

This woman is joke

Obama has remained consistent with his positive message and we will change Washington.

So to all us Blacks, Hispanics and educated Whites I guess she does not need us.

There should never never be an Obama/Clinton ticket this would defeat everything he stands for and that his campaign has work towards change, unity, positivity and getting rid of the old politics Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Clinton.

Do what you must Clinton people we will still move forward with or with out you?
Being a democrat is something that comes from your core values. It is your belief system. Do you really think Hillary is the only person that that our democratic beliefs and dreams can come through?

How about this headling: "Every Rational Person: Joint Ticket Unlikely." Could we please stop posting these non-stories?

I wish the Clinton supporters who claim that Hillary has been "betrayed" by "her" own party.

Dodd is one of the reasons I am disgusted with the Democratic Party this year. He along with other old male party members (Leahy, Kerry and Kennedy- old liberal lions) put early and vocal pressure on Clinton to leave the race even though this race is extremely close. The Dem. Party has treated Hillary terribly (from Fl and Mi disenfranchisement to calls to end the process prematurely). I will not support a party that disenfranchises voters in order to benefit the DNC's hand-picked candidiate. The proportional process is absurd and caucuses are down-right undemocratic. If this were winner take all like the general election (or Republican primary) then Hillary would be our nominee.

I'm writing in Hillary's name in November if she is not the nominee. Also, I'll be donating to every opponent of the Democratic party members who publicly tried to pressure Clinton out of the race.

Hillary and her morals,,,, her soap box character, her treason type husband....... her bandwagon act...... should NOT be in anyway shape or form connected to Obama. I think it is more appropriate that she go crawl in a corner with Gore and cry in her beer....

I- like countless others- are liberal democrats.

We are not screaching left wing radicals full of hate towards other Americans and other democrats who voted differently.

We do not condone the antics of the DNC and we did not enjoy the public gang bang of HRC.

Get it in your heads. You lost our vote when you trashed, bashed, hated, and screwed HRC.

Agree with you, fran. It's not going to happen. "With Clinton, though, the press seems to have almost complete disregard for the [over 16] million voters who have backed her candidacy, as well as the idea that she is their representative in this race. Instead, they treat her entire campaign as some sort of vanity exercise in which voters do not exist."–Eric Boehlert

And putting his surrogates on and having them announce the nomination is over is news? Objectivity, anyone? Please be advised the nomination cannot occur until August, when all the delegates vote. Until then, any of them can change their minds (like when the next bomb drops on Obama). Then, we will all be happy to have Sen. Clinton as a truly electable option.

POSTED BY ONE OF OVER 16 MILLION VOTERS WHO HAVE VOTED FOR SEN. CLINTON SO FAR. WE EXIST, AND WE MATTER!

I can't imagine the two on the same ticket. The RNC would be playing videos of both Bill and HC praising McCain and the horrendous insults they threw and continue to throw at Obama...that would be insanity to give all their fodder to the RNC for their political advertising.
If the HC supporters want to see Roe vs. Wade overturned and another eight years of Iraq and more wars they could ever dream of I guess their loyalty to the party isn't strong enough to get past their personal issues. Vengeance is a dangerous thing.

Aw come on Dodd! We can have an Obama/Hillary ticket. We have the Hitlery voter base, the ignorant,racists who dwell in fear and hatred. And we add Obama's base, which is the open minded progressive white and minority vote. We can have it all covered. Hillary

Obama is the least experienced candidate to ever run for President. He won both his state and US Senate seats by default. He hasn't done a thing in his 2 years except plot to run for President. We've had 7 1/2 years of an unexperienced President who didn't have a clue and I'm sick of it. Most of all, I'm sick of the Obamaniacs saying if you don't vote for him, you're a racist. That is just another avenue of fear-mongering along racial lines and is frankly, pathetic. In addition, attacking Hillary and her supporters only pushes them further away from Obama and the arrogrance that he can win without them will be the reason John McCain will win in the fall.

no fran, she lost fair and square and its time to move on.

Obama-clinton??
Nooooo !!
Even the names don't go together...

This is quite petty. Does no one care about the Democratic party? Obama and Clinton's policies are virtually identical and I, a former Edwards backer, will vote for the Democratic nominee. I decided that a long time ago because G-d knows that we don't need McCain running this country into the ground. I don't care about Wright. I don't care about Bosnian sniper fire. I care about issues first. An immoral leader isn't necessarily bad – William Churchill, as well as FDR proved to be great and competent leaders.

I understand how disappointing this will be to many Clinton supporters – but if you take a step back, it's foolish to cut of your nose to spite your face. Obama's policies are nearly identical with Clinton's. Sure, there are some important differences, but you know as well as I do that four years is a long time for McCain to be in office. That means a lot of thwarted legislation and devastating foreign relations.

We just can't afford it. I know it's hard, and I'm sure you're frustrated and angry, and you are welcome to sit back and say "I told you so" if Obama fails in November – but in the meantime, the stakes are too high to let anger trump reason, or the greater good.

You are correct Senator Dodd. It is so very clear that Senator Obama is the democratic nominee. I do not want Hillary Clinton on any ticket!

Sorry Old washington insider white guys who beat up on the female candidate out of Clinton hate and because the democrats JUST can't nominate a woman.

Too bad... had your chance.

Watch us walk.

How can she even support obama after so much negative attacks and insults??
But..whinning clinton supporters will feel bitter if she's just thrown out..anyways its a matter to Barack to decide.he'll come up with the best solution,smart&
Genourous as he is

fran..you're dilusional and in denial. Just take a seat and get ready for you're 1st Black President...which is loooooong over due by the way.

GOBAMA 08'/12'

If Clinton supporters are willing to vote for McCain over Obama, then she has not done a very good job of promoting the Democratic platform.
How can she be a good leader if she leads her own supporters to the other party. Vote for peace. Vote for fair taxes. Vote for diplomacy. Vote for health care. Vote for women's rights. Vote for civil rights. Vote against torture. Vote for improved education. Vote for affordable college. Vote for a living wage. Vote for humane immigration policy. PLEASE, don't risk all of this over spite.

The Hillary supporters that "threaten" to vote for McCain are hilarious... First, you will be hurting no one but yourself. Second, Obama never had your vote, so your childish antics about how you won't vote for him don't matter! Third, his broad appeal, and the multiple new and young voters he has brought in will more than cancel you out. So, what did we learn? Hillary and her supporters are irelevant!

l wonder if Hillary Clinton is the one that make and change rules for the Democratics party whenever she wants. Now Hillary Cliton state that if the Democratics party has the rules that the Republicans have she would be the nominee long time ego. I suggest that Hillary go run as a Republican candidate if she wants their rules. Rules are rules; Florida and Michigan had mess up their chances to have their delegates sit and I believe that it not to Hillary's power to tell the DNC how to sit them delegates. These delegates from these two state should not be seated at all. The Democratics party is losing its standard by seating Florida and Michigan and in the future any state could just say well I am doing my primary in such and such date because Florida and Michigan did it and they get away with it. Obama needs to be careful with any proposal from Hillary Clinton

Based on Clinton's campaign chair Terry McAuliffe's interview with Tim Russert today, I suspect that Clinton is going to throw more dirt on Obama. If that happens, there is no doubt that at the end of the day Clinton's legacy will be writen as

Impeachment, survived with black support
Total defeat by blacks and democartics in a mean-spirited campaign that aimed to salvage impeachment scandal

FRAN:

I am sorry that you feel that way. Whatever happend that hurt you so bad I am sorry. My hope is that you will open yourself up to trust this process again because; I do not believe that OBAMA wants to hurt any one in the U.S.

Maybe you will reconsider as the G.E. begins and you understand that the republicans do not have the best interests of the Democrats.

Your comments concern me because they reflect how so many hillary supporters feel. I care about all of you. I hope you heal for the good of our party. I do not want to see a void in our party. I hope you accept my apology.

sincerely,
your fellow democrat sister,
deb

You wish.

Obama and his hateful, name-calling, insulting supporters have turned off most of the democrats.

Read all the Obama bloggers regarding West Virginia.

Who wants to vote forthe Candidate who can inspire such hatred of fellow Americans and fellow democrats?

Hillary is a very competent person who ran a great campaign. However, for whatever reason, she did not win the popular vote, the elected delegate count and now has lost her imposing lead in the super delegate count. This was not a betrayal of her by the democratic party. This was a choice by the people. She was not entitled to be the nominee. That sense of entitlement might have had something to do with her loses.

I can understand the disappointment of her most ardent supporters.

But, any democrat that would chose four more years of Republican policies just because their candidate didn't win the primary really needs to spend some time in self reflection. Do you really care about this country, the party, our children, our planet?

Or are you going to pout in the corner and take yourself out of the conversation just because you didn't get your own way?

I meant to say, this campaign isn't about Obama or Clinton

How soon do we forget that Obama just does not do well under pressure, remember his lack luster performance at the Pennsylvania debate? And we expect this guy to lead our country because? Obama is definitely the weaker candidate. Hillary has shown us time after time that she's strong, intelligent, and she's a fighter and she will fight for us. Hillary is the only candidate with real solutions that can help fix our economy, our country.

Oh Fran be quiet, this campaign is about Obama or Clinton. It is about the American people, we all need to realize that, we are democrats first and foremost, Clinton is as good as a candidate as Obama, and there is not much difference in their policies, remember at the end of the day, issues like the economy, war in Iraq, clean environment, universal healthcare, affordable education, is what matters. It is not whether, Obama or Clinton supporters got their choice for the nominee.....Whoever the choice is, I am going to the booth in November and I'm gonna remember that I lost my job which I've had for more than 12yrs.....

It baffles me why Clinton's supporters feel she has been "betrayed" by her party. The simple fact of the matter is that more people are voting for Obama. He is winning this contest fair and square.

fran – i think that's what hillary is gunning for. a 2012 run. but make no mistake – her party has not "betrayed" her. she lost the delegate contest to a younger, faster candidate.

obama 08

WHY ISN'T CNN RUNNING THIS BIG OBAMA STORY???

Obama adviser who met with Hamas resigns

ANOTHER OBAMA "I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS...."

So, cutting off your nose to spite your face is the way to go?

Somehow, fran, your sentiment seems appropriate for Ms. Clinton and some of her supporters. Take the 'nuclear option' and say 'told you so.'

For Democrats, I'm thinking this election should be about getting a non-GOP candidate in office.

And how, exactly, did the DNC betray her? The people have voted, and to this point, it looks like they've chosen Obama.

Florida and Michigan lost their voice because their STATE (not national) DNC officials chose to break the rules to achieve their own ends. So you can't blame that on the national organization, either. The blame for that falls on people putting their state-level agendas above the national party.

Fran, Just remember that in life what you don't like someone else does. If don't vote for Obama, someone you know and love may vote for him. Its time will grow up and realized that in life we can't win all the time. This election has been fair and God knows the people voted Obama over Clinton so why the hate?
FYI am a Republican who would love to see a Democrat win so please don't mess this up.

It's over Hillary!!!!!!!!!!! Hail No, it's not likely.

F – Regardless of who you, or Sen. Clinton personally feel would be the best choice, it's the majority who decides. The people have spoken. That's how the system works.
J

Fran, right now it's not about Clinton or Obama winning, it's about Democrats taking the White House and with that we all win. Hillary will support Obama and vice versa. Republicans are supporting Democrats and it is simply not logical that democrats will support the republican party. I encourage all democrats to take our country back by voting Democrat.

I don't understand the Clinton supporters who say they won't support Obama when he is the nominee. Have you never been through a nomination process before??? Somebody has to lose. Grow up and support the party, stop being sore losers.

You can take it Dodd, Hillary has the experience, Obama doesn't since those activist democrats want the presidency to be an internship or a training camp, you will have yourself to blame for screwing the country up.

After all the rancors, bitterness, and divisions created by those senators like Dodd, Kerry, Daschle and others there will never be a united democrats, Hillary supporters will never vote for Obama, that include myself, and the rest of my friends an family.

African American for Hillary

For anyone who wants some real news, Senator Obama now leads Senator Clinton in superdelegates. CNN, please report this. It's news. Thank you.

Supporters of Senator Clinton, you're decent folks. Please follow your candidate's lead when she pulls the lever for Senator Obama this November. She's going to back Obama...she's going to ask that you also back Obama. Or will you vote for your candidate's opposition? Her true opposition is John McCain in case you've forgotten.

Why vote for Obama when I, along with 14 million others- including many lifelong democrats- can simply WRITE IN HILLARY CLINTON- and vote for the best?

An Obama-Billary Ticket would be a bad Omen for Obama and for the country. Hillary will never accept Obama as president. She is going to do everything possible to sabotage and even torpedo Obama`s regime so that she finally gets what she wants. May God never let this evil woman have her wishes.

Obama can dream of the White House but Clinton supporters will NOT allow them to happen.

Remember the "Regan Democrats"? It's going to happen again and the DNC knows this. A fast 4 years of McCain is doable; then Clinton will be back stronger than ever!!

Obamabots can belittle us Clinton supporters but we just turn a deaf ear to them knowing our time will come....

CLINTON NOW OR LATER.... WE CAN WAIT

Fran u sound like your candidate.. sore losers. the world should perish becos u guys were soo conceited u failed to think through and plan. wake up and accept the inevitable. Presidency isnt anyones birthright, least of all Hilary Clinton

FRAN

If McCain wins then I wilol blame you and all the other Hillsters who stood by and let Roe VS Wade be overturned.

Shame On You Fran !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think those inclined to vote by jumping on a bandwagon have already done so.

Most true democrats, independents and republicans as well will vote their conscience and on the issues.

As a lifelong democrat this is the first time I can not vote for our nominee. Only rabid vitriolic haters seem to be inspired by Obama.

WRITE HILLARY CLINTON IN FOR THE BIG WIN

Has anyone in the Press Gallery ever considered the thought of Clinton running as an Independant? Can you imagine the threat this would be to the Democratic Party? You have to believe that Clinton is considering all possibilities at this stage and it is not inconceivable for her to do this if one takes into consideration all of her supporters. As she goes, so do they and all of their money. She could very well win it in November on an Independant ticket. We in Canada are used to politicians winning outright with 35% of the vote in our multiparty system. As I see it, she is the only candidate that can straddle both Democratic and Republican supporters and bring them into one tent. She takes from McCain's strengths and appeals to Obama's idealism. If I were a superdelegate this would preoccupy my every thought.

Clinton wants and likes power, if Obama accepts this ticket then he is dead. She will do and say anything against Obama to get him fired from the W.H.
This is not a good idea and, I think and hope, Obama knows it.
I agree with Dodd.
No Clinton on the ticket.

I hope CNN and Hilary supporters are listening. It is time to prepare to crown Mr. Obama to presidency. With all due respect to McCain it is time for new way of doing business in Washington. Hilary and Clinton thank you for your service for being a good runner up. It is time to move.

Change we can believe.

To those many Obama supporters who continually blog:

"I cannot find one reason why a Democrat would not vote for Obama other than racism "

Statements like the above (from an Obama supporter) are incredible in their arrogance, naivete, and stupidity. As a lifelong democrat I have always voted Democratic until this year.

I have to tell you that while I find some of what Obama says inspiring, I DO have many reasons- all policy, character, issue based and none due to racism – that WILL keep me from voting for Obama. ( by the way I am in an inter racial marriage with inter racial children)

An issue that has become more and more obvious to me (and others) is the incredible filthy, vulgar, hateful arrogance of Obama supporters.
This reflects poorly on any candidate you purport to support.

Despite the ALL American Idol image embraced by a biased media, Obama IS NOT a savior, nor omnipotent, nor infallible. He's just a pandering, hypocritical, lying candidate.

I think many of you Democrats have bottled up your angst for so long that you're allowing it to whip you into a dangerous cult-like frenzy.

Know this: The world is complicated, and your simplistic views of how things will change are most likely NOT going to happen. It's NOT because those who disagree with you are evil nor are Americans the anti-christ.

It's because the world is complicated and the U.S. is filled with people that think only of themselves (liberals are much more this way than conservatives, by the way).

Get over yourselves, and realize that pretty much everybody is as smart as you…maybe more so

It seems that all the Obama supporters are downplaying talk of an Obama-Clinton ticket b/c they want to be Obama's runningmate, especially Dodd and McCaskill who have proven themselves to be unscrupulous opportunists looking for higher positions

She would be a better running mate for McCain since she thinks more like him.Just because a child cries for ice cream does not mean you have give it to them.

Well said. Need more rebuttle on this matter.

Why talking about VP while she hasn't even drop out.

Obama, please don't listen to them.
Obama will win because God said it, not because Clinton is his VP.

If this happened it wouldn't surprize me if Oboma went the way of 56 people in the inner circle of the CLinton's who died of mysterious circumstances.. Outrageous? Hardly...Film at 11:00...

According to Bernstein, Clinton wants the vice presidency badly, more than returning to the Senate.

But increasingly, it sounds like she isn't going to get it.

Not to jump the gun or anything, but my guess is she is going to be a sore loser about it. Her ultimate ambitions are slipping through her fingers.

She claimed toward the beginning of the race that she only made the decision to run for president in 2006. But it seems clear to me that she has wanted this and been planning for it for a much longer time–I think since she was in college, and when she met Bill.

Since Obama made his condescending remark, "I want Clinton to feel good about the process" in the end, he surely doesn't deserve her as his running mate, not that he ever did. The man is not in her league. The way his nomination has been "won" for him by the Obama-biased media and the ridiculous caucuses and "rules" of the DNC that ignored the standing of 2 entires states, I will vote for Obama if I have to, but it will not be as a democrat. After years of being a member of that party, hereafter I'm an independent.

Chris Todd is absolutely right! Having Hillary as a running mate would be a disaster. She and Bill are the opposite of everything Obama stands for such as honesty, integrity and the ability to think of others. i believe, John Edwards, Bill Richardson and yes even Chris Todd would be great choices.
Hillary and Bill need to just go away!!

There is no such thing as a Dream Ticket involving Clinton ... that would be more like a NIGHTMARE!!! Obama needs to be given the opportunity to choose his own running mate ... the HILLBILLIES need to read the writing on the wall, and quietly disappear – they have done enough damage!!!!

Obama '08
For Real Change!!!

Like we care whatever Chris Dodd has to say. I am sick and tired of people saying that Hillary Clinton should quit and that Senator Obama will be the nominee. No one knows that yet. We could all be in for a surprise. Just let the contests run out and then see where the candidates stand. I still continue to support Hillary Clinton all the way to the convention. As usual, I find it typical of Senator Obama's arrogance that he thinks he already is the nominee and is planning his strategy for November. I also am sick of hearing Obama this, Obama that. Stop bashing Hillary Clinton already. The only person dividing our party from Day 1 has been Barack Obama. End of story. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!

NEVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN

BYE BYE TO THE POLITICS OF THE PAST

OBAMA 08

Sen. Chris Dodd – Obama isn´t electable. Think twice!!

Well said.

Obama 08

If these so called party leaders think that us Hillary supporters are just going to fall in line behind their flawed choice, then they'd better think again. It's not going to happen. Obama and his supporters are going to discover that many of her voters feel that she was betrayed by her own party, so why should we support a party who did not support our choice for the President. I have accepted that McCain will be the next president but only for one term and then Hillary can run again with the "I told you so" campaign.

HIllary 08' or Hillary 12'

Dodd may think his party will rally around Obama, but there are going to be millions that will write Hillary on the ballot, not vote or vote for
John McCain.

I don't think the democrats realize people are just NOT going to vote for Obama. When I voted for Hillary in Fl, Obama's name was on the
ticket, and when your standing in line with over 200 people waiting
to vote and 99% of the voters are voting for Clinton that's got to be
a wake up call for someone in congress. Obama's supporters are
calling this a racial issue, but people are not voting for Obama
because he's black, it's because of the inexperience and we just don't
trust him. He is winning this election with 98% of the black vote weather they believe in him or not. If Obama becomes the next President they will be in the streets waving flags, and justly so, but
if he's not the nominee there will be riots in the street with Sharpton
leading the parade.

You are going to get a surprise...........

Hillary Clinton will be the nominee!

I tend to agree. Although putting Hillary on Obama's ticket as the VP would appease some of the democrats now supporting Clinton, I just don't see them working together in harmony. Hillary is too "power hungry", Obama will have Bill nipping at his heals and between the two of them most likley would undermine Obama at every turn. All one has to do is look at how the Clinton's have handled their campaign. To put Hillary on Obama's ticket may get some more votes in November but it will not enhance the opportunity he has to unite this country with "new" politics. He is better off picking someone else. No matter who he picks, he will win in November regardless of all those who now say, "I won't vote for him." Some people may be angry now as they were so supportive of Hillary but I really don't think that as a group they are stupid!

Hillary carries too much NEGATIVE baggage! The Clintons are simply DIVISIVE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY!

To put Obama and Clinton on the same ticket is a sure dumb way to DESTROY Obama Presidency!

SEN. CHRIS DODD – AS FAR AS I AND MANY OR CONCERNED YOU ARE UNLESS. SO PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE COMMENTS. YOU HAVE ACTUALLY LOST TOUCH WITH THE REAL AMERICAN AND REAL DEMOCRATIC. AND ALONG WITH OTHERS YOU HAVE TURNED PEOPLE AWAY.

AS FAR AS YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS YOU WERE THE ONES THAT STARTED SAYING YOU WOULD NOT VOTE FOR CLINTON IF OBAMA LOST FIRST. DO NOT PUT THAT ON CLINTON SUPPORTERS. WE WERE TRUE DEMOCRATICS BUT AFTER THE HATE AND BIAS FROM THE MEDIA AND OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS IT IS NOW TIME WE GO INDEPENDENT.

GOODBYE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are many others who would be far superior on the ticket than Hillary. Governor Strickland of Ohio, just to name one.

Having Hillary (which would also mean Bill – I guess it would be Billary), would be ill advised as Senator Obama would be bringing on to his ticket the old politics as usual.

Additionally, no one, most of all Senator Obama, can trust the Clintons not to undermine his campaign and future candidacy.

Finally, who would want a racist, unethical and untrustworthy shrew?

It is truly a shame that the first woman to run and have a chance at the presidency was one who disgraces womankind with her lack of ethics, racism and inability to tell the truth. She is a very poor representative of what a truly strong, powerful woman is!!

Party unity and making Hillary happy are two VERY different things.

Someone tell the Gimmick Candidate Carl Rove is on the phone, he has something to tell her.

From what I heard, the GOP dumped Hillary after Tuesday. They thanked her for her hard work and how she followed their every instruction but they declined her membership application to the GOP party, they called her a JUDAS

This is great news for Hilary Clinton. She's following the Yellow Brick Road very nicely!

It give Hillary another wonderful opportunity to slash and burn former relationships then claim that super delegates were no good anyway and they were only extra baggage. See, that's why I like Hillary, she's like a little chameleon, a little…… lying chameleon, and the important thing is that James Carville is still on her side and he can vote like, 50 times more than this one super delegate. BTW, where is the clown? Haven’t seen him around since last Monday I wonder why……

They had their run and now they have show there true colors.
