		<description>I think republicans are posing as Hillary supporters on these postings in order to help McCain.  They&#039;re saying to write in Clinton if she doesn&#039;t get the nomination.  That way McCain surly wins.  I hope Hillary supporters don&#039;t fall for this.</description>

		<description>Fran, I take it you are one of Hillary&#039;s &#039;feminist&#039; supporters who would vote for any woman on the ticket and who would rather slash and burn the country and its citizens&#039; future if Hillary isn&#039;t the Democratic nominee.  I have great hope that the remainder of women in the country won&#039;t follow your lead . . . and instead choose to use their intellect when voting.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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!</description>

		<description>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</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>Hey H...

A lot of us Obama supporters that wont support Hillary... Well that&#039;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&#039;s platform that I disagree with; however, I believe him. I don&#039;t think he&#039;s just telling folks what they want to hear, I think he tells us what he truly believes. I&#039;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&#039;s that did the same thing... Don&#039;t buy the BS...</description>

		<description>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!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Obama &amp; His Campaign Would Like An Early Clocse To This historic Primary .... They What Us To Beleive They Have Won ..... Truth Is They Haven&#039;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&#039;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</description>

		<description>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&#039;t know how many features you have seen or read concerning the Republicans&#039; 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 &quot;Swift Boat&quot; 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.</description>

		<description>I was starting to come around to an Obama - Clinton  ticket  UNTIL her statements this week about  &quot;hard working american -white americans&quot;  Hilary Clinton will stop at nothing in her pursuit for power even to DIVIDE the Democratic Party.  

I don&#039;t want her on the ticket as our VP,  she&#039;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&#039;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.

		<description>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&#039;s not the kind of language Barack Obama stands for. Let&#039;s grow up.

I hope CNN posts this.</description>

		<description>&quot;I&#039;ll modify it for Dems&quot; 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&#039;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 &quot;its ok to break the rules as long as it helps you win&quot; I&#039;m glad to say the canidate I voted for has stronger moral beliefs than that.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>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 &quot;I told you so.&quot;



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&#039;s political respect in this world.</description>

		<description>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 &quot; Media you were right! i am a secret muslim and i will enslave the white race.&quot; 

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 &quot;bitter&quot; about the primarys.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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.</description>

		<description>John Edwards shares Obama&#039;s philosophy and style...and Joe Biden is boring but a really good choice (probably for a more &quot;grown up&quot; country than we have now).  
Bill Richardson, not bad, but not so good at debate which is important for a public position. 
I can&#039;t wait to find out the vp for Obama.
It really can&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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&#039;s move on.</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>Just like his reverend , Obama&#039;s own supporters and the DNC will help to further sink his ship.  They are all divisive and have agenda&#039;s which will never be sold to all Americans.  The more I think about it, McCain&#039;s not so bad, at least I don&#039;t think he&#039;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&#039;m going to pay closer attn to McCain now.</description>

		<description>I hope Obama doesn&#039;t pick Clinton. I know Edwards has said &#039;no&#039; to VP, but Obama could really use him for the &quot;blue collar white&quot; 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 &#039;08!!!!</description>

		<description>I guess you&#039;re all correct: Obama is &quot; just a pandering, hypocritical, lying candidate&quot; and, according to &quot;True Black American for Hillary, it&#039;s a sin to vote for Obama but what, oh what, can we do?? First, we tried the inevitable candidate scenario and that didn&#039;t work. Then we tried race-baiting and that didn&#039;t work. Then we tried to convince Americans that only some states were important and that didn&#039;t work. Then we insisted that only primaries, not caucuses, were democratic and that didn&#039;t work. Then we tried the kitchen sink strategy and that didn&#039;t work. Then we tried pandering and that didn&#039;t work. Now we&#039;re trying blackmail the superdelegates by threatening to vote for McCain (promoted on Hillary&#039;s web site blogs so her campaign does approve of this) so we&#039;ll see if this works. We can only pray, huh?</description>

		<description>&quot;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)&quot;

To &quot;I&#039;ll modify it for dems&quot;.  referencing the above statement.  I read the rest of this blog and I didn&#039;t see one policy issue and all character issues are directed at supporters.  I don&#039;t get it.  I thought I was about to read an intellegent analysis and I got an emotional outburst.</description>

		<description>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&#039;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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;ll need a VP too, right? And you don&#039;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&#039;s just pathetic.  Face it kids - Obama is a far superior candidate and the nomination belongs to him - as it should be.</description>

		<description>&quot;I&#039;ll Modify it for DEMS&quot; 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, &quot;dirty politics&quot; and the adage &quot;Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolueley.&quot; 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 .</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t wait for this race to be over!

It&#039;s going to be nice for Hillary supporters to go to Mc Cain&#039;s website and tell the Repigs how they hate Obama and his supporters!

Can&#039;t wait!  By the way - it feels good to be on the Obama Team!

And, it&#039;s also beautiful to see how many wonderful people support Obama!

YES WE CAN!  YES WE WILL WIN!!!</description>

		<description>It seems that that the people saying they would vote for only Hillary really are selfish people.  They don&#039;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&#039;s a democracy, sometimes you don&#039;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.</description>
