CNN

Hey, this is one person we know thoroughly (and love dearly).

Is she a beggar? NO.
A whiner? NO.
Looking for a handout? Never.

STOP the negative attacks on her, will you?
**************************************************************************

She is not a beggar, she has 100 million dollars and has yet to pay her vendors from Iowa. That makes her a dearly beloved cheat?

She is not a whiner, she is a manipulator. She only whines when it serves her or cries or drops her g's or drinks shots or takes sniper fire.

But as for not looking for a hand out – get a grip! Her web page begins with a request for a handout. Ask her donor base in La and DC about begging for hand outs.

The truth is not a negative attack.

Ask her why she has not paid her long over due debts out of her own pocket?

As for 'caring' about all voters what part of la la land do you live in?

Does she care about latte drinking Volvo driving voters or educated whites?

I am a voter. She MOCKED my vote. I am unworthy of being counted unlike Mi or Fl voters where broken rules get you instant respect and increased importance. I didn't break any rules, I just went out and caucused for 8 hours on a Saturday, because I believed in my candidate so strongly.

I am the blue collar white worker she claims as her base – white, female, 55 and I earn under 55K. One little problem (besides being from a state with a vote only worthy of derision) I"m not uneducated. I don't need a Hillary to think for me and of course...

I am not taking sniper fire.

Mr. Obama himself, being a much more learned, intelligent and thoughtful person than Mrs. Clinton; less trigger-happy, and in my opinion a man of truth, decency and honesty, wanting and promising real change, could never even consider a candidate for VP with the 20 year long baggage of Little Rock, Washington, and 8 years of the Bill Clinton White House, that Hillary has.
Add to this the almost total lack of decency and integrity Clinton has shown throughout this campaign from the moment Obama began to win, not to mention the downright lies she has put out from time to time, and anyone who's not living on another planet can only conclude that Hillary Clinton would be the most unsuitable person imaginable to include in an Obama administration, in any function; and hopefully his very, very, last choice!

Obama will not have the required number of delegates when the primaries are over either, so stop making him the candidate already. Superdelegates should keep their mouths shut. They don't even count until the convention. Their "endorsements" now are meaningless.

I really like Hillary Clinton as a human being and that said, she needs to get a clue. It's time to unite the party she is now officially tied with Obama for superdelegates and she needs to give it up and put her support behind him. She is putting her future money in droves into her campaign and it is just too little too late for her to get back in this. Over the last week at least 30 more superdelegates have either walked away from her or come out of the woodwork and put their support behind Obama it is time for Clinton to say enough is enough and help Obama not fight against him. It is time to focus on McSame.

I am SO totally sick of all the mean nasty ignorant comments posted by some of the Obama supporters. Grow up people– act like an adult instead of a smart-alec dweeb. It is supporters like you that have caused me to decide I cannot support him come November.

Maybe she dont know it is over and we are now trying to find a president..

Go home hillary

it is soooo over for ya

you are behind in everything wv will not help you

good bye !!

Let her pay her own debt, she could have saved alot of $ along time ago by bowing out instead her ego got in the way..

Her goal is to DIVIDE and DESTROY the Democratic Party so they CAN'T win in November.... I have seen the REAL Clinton's in action, and it is very frustrating.
Obama/Edwards08

if someone can tell me of any president who came in with presidential experience because this is trial and error and they all had advisors and it is up to the president to take their advice or just do as he please as george bush jr. i do not think any other president future of past will make as many mistakes again. george bush runs this country for himself and his base the rich people. you think gas prices are so high just because, no way those two oilmen are retiring and they are making the money because they won't ever have to work again. bush and cheney are set for life.

Hillary may not be able to catch up to Obama with the state delegate's left, but I hope the superdelegates start seeing the truth: Obama cannot beat McCain.

I think if it was a Obama-Hillary ticket it may work, and they maybe able to beat McCain.

With the upcoming WV primary, she should win by a landslide. And I hate how Obama supporters keep saying it is because of racism and because whites wont vote for African Americans. Has any one thought that 80-90% of African Americans vote for Obama, isn't that racist too?

If she is not the nominee, I am sure she will win November election as independent

Her campaign is a joke. How many contest has she won? If you say that she has won all the big states, who has the most votes? The delegate lead? Who is the most electable, I think tha goes to the person in the lead, how else can you measure it?

The remaining contest are scheduled and will be held. That does not mean that she has to actively campaign in those states and keep spreading her vile (remember Fl and MI). She could sit at home and save some money or maybe go back to work as a Senator where she is still collecting a paycheck.

The reace is over more people wanted the other guy. It happens in every election... get over it and Move On.

Oh come on now! She wants that power so bad she can taste it. She will at least go after VP. She's not going to put her tail between her legs and go back to the Senate. Are you kidding. Dude her attitude speaks for itself. She is not going out like that...so hang on people, it's going to be a rough landing.

The campaign to elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States is, and has always been, a movement by like minded individuals to move toward a better future for all of us. We've done what we could to not make this a negative campaign against other competitors in the contest. We have had to fight constantly against the lies and spin put forward by the main stream media. Thanks to the internet we have been able to get the truth out. So for those of you who are still relying on TV for your political education, please consider other sources. "Yes We Can" is not just a catch phrase. We are saying that it can be better. We, the people, can build a more perfect union and a more perfect world.

Hillary campaign was so mismanaged, one of many mistakes. Question to Hillary regarding her large base over Obama. If that was factual, wouldn't she be in the lead? Hillary has been playing catch up since Super Tuesday and has yet to catch up and can't. Nevertheless, she will return to being a Senator, retain the majority of her wealth (which is better than 99% of us). So that leaves us to vote for our best interest not out of spite. If you agree with Senator McSame that the economy did well under Bush then vote from McSame. If you need this war to end, universal healthcare, are concerned with food costs, fuel costs, college tuition, the old GI Bill. Then please don't cast a vote against yourself. Hillary will be fine she is a big girl (rich) and if you are in the military McSame is basically telling you to find your own heiress, he got his...

Obama 08'

Obama should not use the money of contributors that are contributing to HIS campaign to pay off Clinton's debt. I'd be ticked if money I gave him for his campaign was used that way. Besides, he needs the money for the general election. Let Clinton dig herself out of her on mess.

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

This both should team-up, that's the only way we can beat the Repulicans

GO HILLARY!

Hillary will prevail, It would be nice if she and obama could run on the same ticket. A good democrate gesture! How awsome would that be for the first woman and first black man for the top two seats in the country. We need to take a look at this, both could combine there ideas and make this a better country.

last i heard
there was not a deal offered

did i miss something

gcbfred

Empty fear made you vote for Bush Twice. LOL
Keep it up!

Obama may not have you vote

But one vote or opinion has not been a Game changer this time.

People from walks of life want real change.

We are not all like you, big money.

LOL

Change to bless all

Obama 08

Obama's campaign is about the future. Hillary represents the past just like John McCain does. She brings nothing to compliment his resume or future plans.

clinton is in serious debt and the more she campaigns, the more in debt she's goin to be. she aint goin to be the nominee, she's only thinking of herself, the clinton legacy(my cheating husband was the president, why cant i be?)

Cate:

If Hillary is "known" so well and "loved" so dearly, then why is her negative rating and dishonesty/distrust rating >50% nationally and EVEN IN HER OWN PARTY???!

I would certainly hope Hillary has no aspirations of hooking up with the Empty Suit candidate. She's a lot better off as a Senator. She's got more pride than to ask Obama for a handout. If I were her, I wouldn't even talk to the sucker, much less endorse him.

GO HILLARY GO !!!!

cate- you are in denial...she is a liar and a common criminal. She and Bill have lied to the American people, they both lied under oath and
her dirty laundry list stretches from Arkansas to California and back to New York. If you want the truth about these monsters just ask Vince Foster.

she won't be VP under obama. after the mudslinging she did during the campaign, there is no way that obama would ask her to fill the spot. if she ran a civil, non-divisive campaign there would have been a chance. i hope that she sticks with her seat in the senate and does good things for our country there.

Run Independent Hillary, half of the American voters who have already voted for you in primary plus those who havent as of yet can put you
in office.

I am so glad that she is not looking for a deal. That is great. I am also wondering what kind of drugs they are taking over on the Clinton side!!! Wow, at first I thought they were delusional, then I thought they were psychotic because of her "Hard Working White Voter" comments, but now Howard's comments have convinced me that there is something really strange going on over there.

There is no way, no matter how big the tantrum, that the DNC is going to deny the winner based on the rules of the party, the nomination. There is no way the Superdelegates are going to give the nomination to someone other than the person who wins by the rules. They may have to wait till June 3rd to come out, but their constituents who support the winner (whom ever that is) would defect in droves. This is not a contest about who would be best able to beat the Republicans, it is a contest based upon who wins by the numbers. That is what 2000 was all about. GW Bush won by electoral votes, not the popular vote. The DNC has set 2025 as the number of delegates. What is so hard to understand about that????

I read that Hillary was full well expecting that her loans (with interest) be paid first out of any contributions she receives or money Obama may throw her way. Now that is like the Hillary I know...forget all about the small businesses you owe money to and pay yourself first (did I mention WITH INTEREST). Those small businesses won't get interest on the money owed them if they get paid at all.

I think this is the right time for Sen. Hillary to make a reasonable decision. Seeing things ahead is not failure but it is a sign of wisdom and respect for the party, for friends, and the will of the nation. There are enough evidences out there of what the outcome might be. It is really good thing to work out for the common good. We need this party to lead the nation and the world for the next 16 years. This is a must.

Of course she's not looking for a deal. Obama is going to lose this November. Hillary will be the nominee in 2012.

Thanks to Obama and his fanatical followers we will have another republican in office come November. At least Clinton had a shot. No one wants to offend the golden child or his minions so they're willing to throw the November win away. But then they can convince themselves of how progressive they are for nominating an African-American, even though they actually helped McCain. This probably makes sense to insane people.

Hillary a VP? She can't handle it.

Obama should sit tight and let the clock run out on June 3rd, as it will, and by that time Obama will have 10 to 20 more super delegats in his basket and Clinton will have no choice but to bough out. As for Clinton becoming Obama's running mate, it is out of the question, the two just dont match, although their polocies are similar. This is the year of the Democrats and McCain has no chance against Obama's eloquece and God given wisdom. Just wait and see when they have their first debate.

Wake up america obama cannot beat mccain. he has a lot of baggage. he has brain washed the american people.He is leading because in the beginning of the campaign the american people did'nt know him. If we had known about jeramiah Wright,Rizno,William Aires,and the involvement in a murder trial at his church he wouldn't be leading. Hillary Clinton is the best person to lead this country. This country is caught up into a black man becoming president. If he wins the primary I am changing over to a republican.

Hillary should end her campaign gracefully in order to keep the Clintons' dignity intact. We all know how badly the party and the country needs her skills and influence, but I'm afraid that she'll lose any ability she still has if this saga continues.

Celeste May 11th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

It is time for her to do what is right for the country

America needs a person with education and intelligence to get begin to fix all the stuff the Republicans have ruined over the last 7 years.

. Yes ,and that is Why Hillary should run as a Third party, obama thinks we have 59 states in america. What school did he go to?

Good one Cathy!!!!

Let us be one and stop these rhetoric racist comment like- he'll never win anyway- it is a contest either one can win not by their color of skin nor their gender but by what's driving them inside, their determination and resillence.
Obama change the world.

After Bill Clinton served 8 years as President, I think it's time for the Clintons to move on. Bill Clinton did a great job while in Office. What they need to realize it's time for a change. And we thank you for the memories for all you have done. Hillary can always run again.
Don't ruin your reputation by trying to force yourself back into the White House.
We are in a new era now, and it might means greater strength. You needed to hold off on the race cards. White People are White People and Black People are what they are. In other words we are one of the same. So in a sense you hurt Blacks and Whites. You must remember there are a lot of mixed races that also fall iin the Black category. They are among us all the time and you wouldn’t be able to tell if they are Black or White. We don’t need to be put down, and have tried to ignore a lot of touching things you and your husband have said.
Hillary it’s time to say goodbye and I wish you the best. I heard you say White People wouldn’t vote for Obama. Why not? That’s how Obama got as far as he has.

Clinton should continue, it's not as if Obama has the required number of delegates to be declared the winner and there are still states that have not had their primaries. Give everyone a chance to be heard. In addition, there are two critical states that the democrats are not even counting at this point.

If Obama gets the nomination he will not get our votes - we vote on experience, character, issues, and core values and we not uneducated and poor, just over 40!

Who cares if Michelle wants anything to do with Clinton or not?

The most important thing is THE PEOPLE want nothing more to do with Clinton. Someone needs to help her pack her bags, because she probably hasn't packed her own in decades.

I think Hillary would find it an insult to play VP second fiddle to Obama.....the guy who has absolutely no qualifications for the office of president to begin with. In fact, I find the thought of Obama in the presidency to be both pathetic and scary. I've supported Hillary but now I'm about ready to say.....Go McCain!

She would take VP in a sec and Obama would mysteriously disappear or worse a short time later. Hell NO, I want her NO WHERE near my president. Ever heard of the Vince Foster story??

I know what you feel Guys..but remember that: Mr. Obama , President Of The USA 08
take it to the bank

Love USA/Love Obama
heyyyyyyyyyyyy Psssssssssss every one is paying attention now mmmmmmmmmm "no stealing" this time
Obama for peace & Jobs. (no WAR with iraq..no war with Iran) PSSSSsssssssss
Obama the one we love

you know i sit here and some comments and i can,t beleive some of them the sen. has to become president to be able to do anything,further more four years to even begin to straiting up bushie boy,s mess. but he stil is the only one out there to do the job .. itdiot.. OBAMA 08--–>

When you really think about it, Hillary is the empty suit.

Obama tells it like it is, whether it makes him lose vote or win votes. He is an honest and brilliant leader.

Sen. Clinton tells voters what they want to hear, flip flopping of necessary. She is fine tune political machine, but doesn't really stand for anything... i.e. an empty suit.

gcbfred -> thats what they said about Kennedy, thats what they said about Lincoln....you can have all the experience in the world but without the right judgment it doesn't matter.

McCain does NOT have the right judgment on the key issues that an overwhelming majority of the American people want (economy, Iraq and Healthcare). It is Obama and the Democrats that have the right views and policies. If he wasn't capable of being President then prominent democrats who have been in politics for years and know what it takes would NOT be backing him (Kennedy, McCaskil, Kerry, Dodd, Richardson and if and when Hillary concedes the Clintons will also be backing him).

So gcbfred and people like you, if you are a democrat then we must all stand united to defeat McCain who is no longer the Maverick he once was in 2000 but a carbon copy of GWB. We cannot afford 4 more years of that.

Democrats '08 – Obama '08

Why are some of my fellow Obama's supporter so mean and angry Stop clinging to your computer with antipathy for Hillary.

We have won be nice. Remember she is still pretending to be a democrat and her husband was a great President.

Obama is not about hate. He is a uniter

Obama/Webb 08

and if she somehow should fail to win, Barack Obama better hope she accepts being on his ticket. He'll loose without her.

I think you are all wrong.
Seen from here you will have a very good president in Obama, much better than the one you have had for the last 8 years, and even much better than the president you both think Clinton will be if elected!

Ding dong, the witch is dead...

Who wants another President that is delusional? First you have to win the big states (as if the other states don't count). Then you have to include Florida and Michigan (when the rules that everyone agreed to in advance were that these states would not count). Then it was whoever had the most superdelegates (you had all of them over for milk and cookies).Now it is who has the most popular votes. The popular vote does not even elect the president. AND you are pandering – trying to suggest that white people vote for you because you are white. I am a black person and I am not voting for Barack because he is black. I did not vote for Sharpton or Jackson and they are both black. The truth is this - if the American public is buying what you are saying – you would be ahead in popular vote with and without Florida and Michigan, you would be ahead in Superdelegates, you would be ahead with the black vote, the white vote, the catholic vote, the Latino vote, the blue collar vote, the white collar vote, the soccer moms, the stay-at-home dads, the astronauts, the NBA, or whatever sector of society you appeal to. It is OVER- we are tired of the Clinton machine. With so many mysterious accidents during Bill Clinton's term, it might not be safe to have Hillary as a vice president.

about screwing up: You probably did notice how Bush screwed up? That's a whole lot heavier than the cigar affair which by the way ended with Bill Clinton resigning after trying to persuade people he didn't have sex. Don't get me wrong. Bill Clinton has been a very good president. But Hillary? Just being a good freemason doesn't get You elected. It might help, but it doesn't get You elected.

Howard Wolfson: "We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee."

Wow, the Clinton camp is sure a bunch of sore losers.

If I was Obama, the absolute last person I would want as VP would be Hillary Clinton. He would have to be constantly watching his back as she tried to steal the limelight, undermine his presidency, and set herself up for her own presidency. I know they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but to have Hillary in the White House would be a huge mistake.

Why should Hillary be interested in the #2 slot? The people want HER leading the helm not Obama. I will not vote any ticket with Obama on top. Even as much as I love Hillary I simply WILL NOT allow the party to manipulate my vote by using our choice as a pawn. The superdelegates can throw this race away if they want. Because if not Hillary, then McCain for me..and many many others!

gcbfred, you sound so shallow minded, when any president takes their first term in office it is a new job for them and that person has to still be in a learning process anyway, so pick your words wisely and don't talk a talk that other people talk without analizing their own words.

Clinton staying in the presidental race until June 3rd is also a way to decompress and come to the final realization that she will not be on the top of the ticket.

"Wolfson added that if voters in West Virginia "want to end this on Tuesday, they're perfectly capable of it.""

Riiiight. They're going to try to spin tiny West Virginia into the game changing victory that will propel her past Barack. What is this now? the 19th different way of measuring victory that they've come up with since Super Tuesday?

We've seen Barack stay the heavy favorite despite her saying that Indiana was the game changer, or WV, the popular vote (w/ Obama getting 0% in Michigan), Ohio, Texas, California, big states in general, whoever wins blue collar voters, whoever doesn't win those republican states, caucuses shouldn't count, he can't win democratic strongholds, he hates those hard working small towners, 2025, now its 2209.....All while ignoring that whole delegate thing...you know? the one that determines the winner. next week she'll ask for a whole new primary season and ask for the best 2 out of 3

Although I give Senator Clinton all the right to stay in the race, I believe that sooner or later she will have to step out. Whether that day comes on May 13th or June 3rd is up to her but i still believe that she will have to end her campaign in a graceful matter. As for Senator Clinton staying in the race to get some political position with Obama, is hopefully unlikely because it is not helping her instead hurting Obama to officially start his general election campaign

Just what we need, a presidential candidate utterly divorced from reality. She'd almost be funny if she weren't so false and dangerous a signpost on this confused or at least ambivalent nation's roadmap.

The only way that Mrs clinton win the nomination is if she does some back door politics and offers the super delegates a piece of the money from the healthcare plan she puts in place. Meaning if the health care companies take one of every three dollars for there profits then if every American pays for health care regaurdless if they are a single parent with three kids living in a shack then they can skim $4.00 of every $10 for ther profits they keep $2.00 for them selves and give hillary $1 and the super delegates the other $1 and giving them selves a raise in there cities to cover it up.

Obama and the media need to stop even referencing Clinton. When she's not getting attention she'll slink away like Huckabee had to do. Goodnight, Hillary, your tale is over.

It wouldn't be a dream ticket.

The White House would become our national House of Horrors.

Hillary Clinton needs to get honest – something she rarely does – with her supporters, & admit that their trust in her has been misplaced & their donations to her have been mismanaged. She's "competed hard," as Axelrod says, ultimately at her supporters' expense.

Tell her to pull the funds out of her personal bank account – she has it! – to pay the $20 million debt that her campaign owes. It's HER debt, NOT Obama's, NOT her supporters', NOT the country's.

Its finally over!

It is right to point out that Obama does not have that much experience but I have two problems with this statement:

1.) Mitt Romney said Obama has never done anything in his life. Well he ran a very successful record-breaking campaign while "genius" Romney failed despite all his money.

2.) Longevity is not the same as wisdom and the ability to listen. The truth is that the president himself does not have to come up with a gazillion ideas. There are tons of advisors, senators, congressmen etc etc that do that. What we need from a president is foresight, wisdom and the ability to motivate!

As Obama said: What we have is not a lack of good ideas (heck I have at least 20 good ideas). What we lack is the political will to move this country past our current problems.

clinton,is over.Just step down,someday,somehow it will be your turn.

Tony, you and many others are fooling yourself when you say that this campaign is over. It's funny to see everyone ignore possible voter turnout in West Virginia, Kentucky, and ***especially Puerto Rico.***

Once she wins the popular vote, it will be extremely difficult and hypocritical for anyone to back Obama.

If Clinton wins the popular vote, then a delegate's vote for Obama is a vote for the last eight years of Bush's policies.

It's easy to say that Obama is winning the (pledged) delegates, so he should be the nominee. However, the problem here is that the pledged delegates are unable to come to a decision. Therefore, it is up to the superdelegates to vote with their conscience. When Hillary wins the popular vote, I hope that decision will be easy for them.

You might have seen an empty suit but politics mind You is talk and then action. Also on Hillary: She's not a strong contender. If she would be she would be the one on top by now. She isn't. Not only she isn't, there is not a single chance she'll become President this election. For Obama things are looking up any which way You look at it. It's up to him now. Not up to her.

GCBFred: If all you see is an empty suit, then with HRC you're just looking at an empty pantsuit. Cause they have the same policies.

And that would be too good for her. She needs to pay them debts off herself after going so negative.

even if she miraculously (most likely through some closed door, under handed deal) was able to secure the nomination, what would she do then? McCain's weakness is that he is very underfunded, but how will clinton look if she is already 20 million (probably more by the end of the campaign) in debt? she will have nothing left for the general election. talk about electability...

It is obvious to everyong except Clinton's & her campaign that she can not win. Why she stays in the race is unbelieveable. she is hoping she can find/dig up something on Obama that will cause another outrageous personal attack on him & in that way hurt him & maybe win then. Most of the Press incl. Tim Russert says Obama is the Nominee. I don't think she should be on as VP, she represents Washington as Usual, & he is a New Way of Politics & wants to move forward with CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

they are looking like camp huckabee more, and more ,each day."major in miracles"lol,it's bin over since super tuesday.

I dont beleive she has any designs on the VP spot either. I do beleive though that she has every right to continue her quest for the Nomination. She is running for President, remember? Duh! ...I dont think she should seek or accept any deals including VP. If she did, she would be locked in for a maximum of 8 years whereas if she wanted, she could run again in 4 years. He will be a president in training as he goes through his ON THE JOB INTERNSHIP. ... He just might screw it up so bad that we will be wanting him out in four hears....But my following thought is that he won't become president anyway. I know he is a articulate speaker, but it is all talk. All I have seen so far is an empty suit.

Hillary is Cleopatra –Queen of Denial

"We think Senator Clinton will be the nominee" I hope that this doesn't mean they have a nasty attack coming out like a picture with Obama sitting in the church with Wright giving one of his Anti-American speeches...

Hey, this is one person we know thoroughly (and love dearly).

Is she a beggar? NO.
A whiner? NO.
Looking for a handout? Never.

STOP the negative attacks on her, will you?

The press has blamed her for everything imaginable, even Obama's shortcomings. Her victories were downplayed to pitiful 'squeaks'.
Stop it ! Enough.

She will make sure that the voters feel like they are part of this process. This is who she is and always has been.

Why does the press have a difficult time with this democratic concept?

It is time for her to do what is right for the country and stop doing only for herself.

America needs a person with education and intelligence to get begin to fix all the stuff the Republicans have ruined over the last 7 years.

McCain is not capable.

Unless Senator Obama completely freaks out and starts wearing a hammer and sickle on his lapel then Senator Clinton is not going to be the nominee. The common feeling among the superdelegates is that the person with the greater popular vote and delegate count is the person they will vote for. I have to agree that Wolfson is just saying that because he wants to get paid and/or the press attention. Those are the only motives I can think of for the Clinton camp to stay in it.

The Clinton campaign is finished. They're $20 million in debt according to Wolfson (I don't know whether to be skeptical or not). But seriously, if you have to resort to deficit spending during a campaign, then you're sure as heck not able to tackle the economy.

Why would he want to deal with a cheat and a liar?

Hey,let be sincere with this all issue.what was clinton thinking?...becos the husband does better 8 yrs ago,then he think he can do better now.Rubbish........this is a new era of generation,and u need a new era of ideas and vision to go with.And only one person have it,that is barrack obama.President bush does better until 9/11.

Hillary's not stupid. She knows that she's not going to be the most powerful person in the world. So of course she's going to try for second. It's just a matter of time.

Unfortunately, if anything should happen to Barack Obama (wink, wink), then Hillary Clinton will become president.

Luckily we have Nancy Pelosi. She will take out Hillary before that happens, thereby making HER the most powerful person in the world.

Either way, Bill Clinton doesn't even make the top three!

Just remember when Obama said that we "Cling to our Religion, Guns, and don't like people that don't look like us because we are BITTER". That was the end of his campaign. Obama showed what 20 years at Rev Wright feet have done to him!!!

She's obviously hurting Obamas chances for November election. The problem is with her comments she's for the hard working white american causes division among the party Obama has benefited from high African American turnout an new young voters also college educated americans Clinton benefits from blue collar white americans an some republicans trying to help her out "operation chaos" but lets be real Clinton supporters want support Obama an Obama supporters African Americans in general will stay home this november. It's a no win scenario but if they unite an Clinton is the running mate I think Obama can win but Clintons chances of winning in November want happen with out African American votes [im one an will not vote at all if Obama doesnt make it] so Clinton play it smart if you care for the democratic party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 2008

I have been following this campaign for almost a year now and here is my feeling about the way the Clintons and their supporters have behaved.

Obama and Edwards ticket in 2008!

As for Obama lending her campaign money, I say NO. As I should have a say about where my money goes. I also say she SHOULD stay in the race as long as she wants. Most of us on these blogs have already voted in our states and I think EVERYONE should have their say. We are all Americans. Addressing Wolfson's theory of her not wanting the #2 spot, I could not agree more. We don't want her in the #2 spot either. I want a woman of integrity who stands on her own name and abilities and knows which party she represents. The point she removed items out the WH which did NOT belong to her-tells me a lot about her integrity.

I also say to ALL Obama supporters: PLEASE CALM DOWN! This is very exciting, I realize that but he has not officially won the nomination yet. We will have plenty of time to celebrate as we have all worked hard and contributed the necessary funds for our candidate to stay in this race.

Thank you to ALL Obama supporters who made this point possible.

I never knew, until now how politics worked. I've been able to get a good idea from closely following the Democratic campaigns. Is it me or could this stuff give you heart failure! Your blood pressure fluxuates and your so emotional sometimes, your spouse doesn't even want to talk to you some days (OK, yes, I am talking about myself!) I thought this race was over in March. All the news networks were reporting that she couldn't catch up back then even if she won 60/40. So what the hell is going on! I have learned one thing if nothing else regarding politics; It aint over until the actual losing opponent says it's over. Aughhhhhh!

OBAMA -08!

believe Americans are wiser than Hillary's tactics of divide and rule. All problems facing this country affect all races. Does price of gas differentiate on race ???? She has changed her message continually and she is ready to say anything just to get nominated.
Americans should read between the lines. She is just too desperate. and and ready to lie, shift goal post in the middle of the game,... do anything just to get nominated.,...that's not ethical. let's not forget how Bush and his cronies lied about Iraq, that is an indication of what Hilary has to offer.
Madness is defined as doing the same thing, the same way and expecting any change.
In the best interest of this great country, SUPPORT OBAMA now and in Nov. and the country moves forward.

If Clinton is not the nominee, Obama cant win, at least not my vote. I would vote for a republican first.

So how does she expect to win the general against McCain when she is barely competing in the primary against an unknown Washington outsider?

Hillary will be the nominee! Mr. Obama is a magnificent speaker, but he is not electable. This may go all the way to the convention but ultimately Hillary will be the nominee. Reagan Democrats will decide this race. Unfortunately for Senator Obama, Reagan democrats will choose Clinton over McCain but this same influential group will choose McCain over Obama. This will effect the swing states. Obama can win all the tradition democratic states such as California and New York but he can not win Florida and Ohio. Hillary can win all the traditional democratic states as well as the swing states. This is why the party will nominate Hillary despite Obama's lead in pledged delegates.

I think All three Edwards, Gore and Clinton would make excellent choices. We all now that his style is more like Gore, Less like Edwards and perhaps would be difficult with Clinton but In the end I think it's up to Obama now to make a clear choice, and I thrust his choice as he has become a clear leader whatever might happen next. The only thing that could stop him in my personal view is perhaps a John Mc Cain who can consolidate rightwing theories again and make firm ground while convincing people should vote on a person from the party who crashed the economy and got us in quote: "perhaps a centennial war" costing roughly billions of taxpayers money invested in almost in hand stock of the same people not ready to pull out. Also John Mc Cain would need to have a clear stand on Medicare reforms, and he will probably have to go in against his own party to make reforms democrats anounced years ago although it will probably also cost him some credentials for being though. If Mc Cain wants to succede he'll have to have a very big campaign and a clear stance on many subjects, and perhaps try thinking about other things than putting on a big show. He'll have to find real talk subjects and come up with them fast to erase the probable lead Obama is going to take the coming months.
Personally I hope Obama wins it and restores our nation. A third Bush term is exactly like having a third tooth extraction while it's your ear causing all the pain.

This is first time i will be voting, and i love this process, but i never was a big Clinton fan until now. I REALLY respect her a lot now. She has shown great resilience in this race in the past and even at this time she has still show that she beleaves not only in herself, but in America. Yet she did lose some of my respect when she made the "hard working americans, white americans" quote. I always favored Obama, but that set it in stone for me. He needs not to bring race involved negativly, and as a black man in this country, he gets the ultimate respect for that.

Thank-you America, we don not have to deal with the Clintons and their scandals anymore, we thank them for their years of service, but it is time for a change. The Clinton's are wondering what happen ,well let's count S.C. , Bosina – Gate, Mark Penn and trade deals, Indianna Gas Tax relief lie, they just simply under estimated the American people disire for integrity and change in Washington and the White House. Thers are old sayings: you cann't teach a dog new tricks, a leopard never changes his spot and that's the Clintons they do and say whatever to win, reguardless of the cost.
Let's all Americans pray for your new government and all our leaders that they maintain their integrity in the face of diffucult times.

This is all about 2012. She wants to see Obama go down in flames so that she'll be a shoo-in. Every day she persists in this ego-drama she is helping McCain. Does she think the Democrats will forgive her?

Obama has bad judgement, is out of touch, and has no experience. Why would anyone vote for another George W Bush!!!

P.S. And I am a lifelong Democratic!!!

May be Clinton should run as an independent if democrats don't choose her as the nominee. She has a HUGE base of supporters who would ensure that if she's not elected the president, neither does Mr. Hope with his superficial agenda makes it to the white house.

Clinton or McCain – both are fine. But a big NO NO for Obama.

This woman can't even keep her campaign out of debt, what do you think she is going to do with the U.S economy?

Perhaps the reason why she is not meeting fundraising expectations is because voters (even her voters) don't really believe in her abilities?

The Clintons never stops dreaming.
Its simple, It's Over.

Only Clinton and her supporters know how she will win the nomination! The rest of this nation is delusional and retardered! I can't wait to see that happened! This will be the miracle of the 21st century

What is Clinton thinking is still unknown to me. I mean that Clinton needs around 320 more votes to clench the nomination while Obama needs only 161 more votes to clench the democratic nomination. Obama can get that 161 in the upcoming primaries and superdelegates votes. While Clinton. She is dragging the whole democratic party down with her by making her election them instead of her plans she has made it like some democratic guy said "101 things wrong with Obama" Come on JUST DROP OUT ALREADY! You are dragging the party down with you!!

Obama '08

Obama campaign of "change" is a campaign of false hope and fairytales!!!

Howard..tsk tsk . Delusional
Thats all i can say and its so sad

Clinton is the strongest candidate, despite the horrific negative press that never let up and the opponent's cash advantage.

Her dedication, loyalty and perseverance is an inspiration for all of us, and we WILL need it, post Bush.

I am behind her TO THE END, or as her supporters put it, to the TOP.

She is a LEADER.

... and, she believes (firmly) that everyone's opinion counts.
That speaks volumes to me.

If Obama is the nominee HIllary knows that he will lose. Why would she want to be part worst campaign in history!!!

I just hope all the votes are going to be counted accurately.

That lady has to be thrown out from the Forum ASAP. She is a hated full of negative image, even her face when she loughs does not look good very smirk and pretensious face. People can read from truthful person not like Clinton with covered and suttle looking. I hope her image on TV will be soon no more appears. Thanks for God. Save USA!!!

If Sen. Clinton negotiates, I imagine it would be for her health care plan, which is so superior to the one he's offered. I can't imagine she'd have any interest in being his running mate given the fact that she was so far ahead in the polls early on until the obama-biased media, with the help of the DNC, decided to hand him the nomination. He certainly doesn't deserve to have her as a running mate, any more than he deserves - or is ready - to be President of the United States.

Why would Hillary want the MORON be her VP? She will already have her hands full, without having to do the VP"s job.She will need some one that has intelligence, so that in itself disqualifys the idiot.

Clinton camp has a total of about $20 million in debt , AGAIN THEY CANNOT DO MATH

Gameover for HRC's so called advicers!!

"Senator Clinton's track record, winning the big states — ... Michigan and Florida"

Yes, Senator Clinton does very well in states where Obama doesn't run.

This is the reason a lot of us believe the the Clinton's think that only must be the ones at the white house come January '09. They never thought they would lose this election. That's why they cannot bring themselves to bowing out honourably.

They are hoping against hope. Let them give all their money to the campaign, I just hope they remember the word ' bankruptcy '. Get real Clintons and stop deceiving yourselves, your time is up!

The DNC will realize that Obama may be the golden child, but now is not his time.

Tony, Miami said it best!! Lets get real..

Senator Clinton may have the right to continue on and make her case to the super delegates, but if the super delegates were to hand her the nomination- that would undoubtedly alienate the majority of democrats. At this point, I feel Senator Clinton is hurting the party to such a degree that she has revealed her selfish character and effectively destroyed any prospect to run for the presidency in the future. As someone who initially intended to vote for Ms. Clinton, the democratic race was a true eye-opener, and I'm thankful that I learned that she was such an extreme opportunist now rather than later.

If nothing else, maybe she'll try a somewhat graceful exit to salvage something of her reputation.

Wow ""We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee," enough said

She wants all to have free health care but it seems as if she has a gambling problem and its as if she is living in a bubble...the outside is saying go go go

Obamamania 08

It'd over Hillary. Obama 2008. Either way, Happy Mother's Day!

Who cares if Michelle wants anything to do with Clinton or not?

The most important thing is THE PEOPLE want nothing more to do with Clinton. Someone needs to help her pack her bags, because she probably hasn't packed her own in decades.

Well now at this point after a long bitter fight by the Clintons the time has come for them to end this hopefully on a good note, however I still have little to no trust that this will be the case. I think they will always be lurking in the background for any chance to discredit Obama, dispite what their supporters think the Clintons are known to be vanditive already there is word that some surprise is coming in Oct, but what I would like to ask is this, if it is coming from the Republicans HOW is it that the Clintons are so aware of it if they are not somehow in the mix of it??

And as far as Obama paying her debts it would almost be worth it just to get rid of her, but even that won't work. she will not be going away, bet ya that, so Obama might as well keep his money and use it for the General to help combat the Republicans and the Clintons, he's gonna need it. These people are horrible!!!

As far as this surprise goes they can keep whatever info they have because one thing I'm sure of is it can't be any worst than the things they have been guilty of. That is one of the main reasons they are about to be shut down people are sick and tired of the nasty campaigning, she just could not reason that out, but she and the Republicans need to understand this. They are all hoping to destroy Obama's politicial future some kind of way when they themselves should be in prison for the mafia type of crimes they have committed and it is no way in hell that I will cast a vote for anyone that operates like this. So the republicans need to be warned people are not wanting this snicky, dirty campaigning. We will end up with Nader if they destroy Obama!!

Let us see what will happen in this Nov between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. The winner is McCain...

it's my view that hillary clinton has reached a brick wall, and instead of backing off , she is so full of obsession mixed with disillusion she has prefererd to kill herself. The race to the white house for her is over a long time ago. She was too stupid not to compete with obama in many of those small states where she could have picked up some of those delegates that she so badly in need of now. She is depending on the florida and michigan delegates to be seated, but would be a dishonest thing to do. All three of them obamo clinton and edwards, were told by the dnc long before theose polls that they ere not going to get those delegates. Thet all knew the reason why, and they did not questioned it. Clinton is not entiled to the delegates more than obama or edwards. Therefore i would suggest to the dnc, if ever at all they are going to award the delegates they should award them equally to all three of them.Edwards was still in the race when those polls were cast, therefore he is entiled to his portion. Let him now decide who he wants to give them to. Clinton cannot allowed to dictate to the dnc what they must do from what they must not do. SHE NEED TO FOLLOW AND STICK BY THE RULES OF THE DNC.The white was not promise to her, therefore if the people of america decided to let an african american be president in this time of our century all she has to do is to accept graciously and give her full support to obama and move on.

Hey CNN, the "Political Ticker" heading link is missing at the top. It's been so for a couple of days. It took some work to find out where you guys were on your website. Just a heads up...

I think senator Clinton is the winner in this primary election but should realize that without black votes she can not win in the general. Also note that senator Obama can not win the primary election without the white vote! So be careful of divisive campain.

Clinton's campaign knows well that it is still possible for her to win the nomination. Here are the facts. Fact # 1: The rule of the game is that the candidate who has the greater of the total pledged plus super delegates (not just pledged delegates) wins the nomination. Fact # 2: As of today (05/11/08), the number of uncommitted super delegates is still greater than the number of total delegates by which Obama leads Clinton, so that if, after the last primary is held in June, most of the uncommitted delegates were to commit to Clinton, she would overtake Obama in the total delegate count. Also, even those super delegates who committed to either candidate can change their minds and support the other. Fact # 3: The responsibility of the super delegates is not only to the electorate but also to the Democratic Party. If it is perceived by enough super delegates that nominating Obama would significantly jeopardize a Democratic win in the general election, it would be their responsibility to the party to back Clinton, even if Obama maintained his slight lead in the popular vote. I believe that, indeed, an Obama nomination would seriously jeopardize a Democratic win in the general election. Why? Sadly, my opinion is, upon conversations with many Clinton supporters and would-be Republican defectors to the Democratic side, that Obama will not get their support in the general election due to his race. The "sore loser" explanation for the recent poll of Clinton supporters (about 45% of them) who say that they will either vote for McCain or not vote at all, where the Democratic party expects that these supporters will "just get over it" by the time of the general election, does not apply with regard to a good portion of that 45% of Clinton voters. Racial prejudice is deep seated, and this segment of voters will not "get over" that! Unless Clinton does very well in the remaining primaries and, especially, catches up in the popular vote (Florida and Michigan must be counted for the sake of the electorate, not the candidates) where such might persuade enough super delegates to give her their support, Obama will win the nomination and McCain will be our next president. Obama will have won the battle but will have lost the war.

I'm an African American Democrat and I was a Clinton fan for the longest time since Bill was in office.In the beginning of this race,I was thinking about going for Clinton simply because of the name alone.And then I decided to give Barack a chance and boy was I inspired and moved by what he had to say.Since then,I've been keeping track of his progress and finally voted for him in the Oregon primaries.This brotha here will unite the party and unite us as Americans in a way that even Hilary,with her experience,won't be able to.To all the Hillary supporters,if you were TRUE Democrats,you would vote for Obama even when Hillary isn't the official nominee.The whole point of this race is to get MC CAIN/BUSH away from the Oval Office,not a fellow Democrat.Everybody knows that Mr McCain is a virtual clone of Bush and yet out of spite towards Barack you're going to vote for him??Are you serious??? We should ALL set aside our personal feelings and bitterness towards each other and vote for Barack,plain and simple.Hillary wants to bow out on her own terms and there's absolutely noting wrong with that,as a matter of fact,I admire her even more for that.But let's face it people,the race for the Democratic nominee is over and we should ALL unite as Democrats and most of all Americans.

AS Obama has people who are voting for him,this people do not vote for Clinton,the same thing applies to Clinton.This is the same party for goodness sake.Clinton husband performed well and the so called white collar working people enjoyed him,they wknow Clinton name but do not know Obama name,when Obama become president,there is no daubt he will be the best president this country will ever had and then they will start to praise him.The youths,independents and desatisfied republicans voting for Obama are the general election decider.No worker will like to vote for bad economy,no job,no gas and so on any longer.

Correction--– We are NOT in the loan Business!!!!!!!!!

""Good"" The bank is for loans. We are in that business!!!

Speaking of number 2 – everytime Clinton or her people speak – its #2

I am not an american, neither do i live in america but i like america and i can see Obama as the only candidiate that can unite not only the Democratic party, not only america but the whole world. i live in the UK and i am willing to donate to Obama's campaign if he becomes the nominee.

In the immortal words of Howie Mandel...

...........Deal OR No Deal...........

Both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama are great warriors, so to speak. However, Senator Obama has proven to be more agile and very organized and has shown superb distance vision... that is what is needed as a prerequisite qualification for the position of the president of the world's greatest nation. But, Senator Clinton has all the right to play it out to the end. She has earned it. I believe that Senator Obama will be a very energetic and successful president. He will be the president.

Political campaigns do not 'end' ... they just go broke!

Hillary has run a fine race, but it is not possible for her to win the nomination and remain viable in November. Obama will be the Democratic nominee. All Dems should focus on defeating McCain and giving the Democratic President and big gains in the House and Senate!

Tony, if you are correct then we all would need to move
to OZ / Wonderland!

Party before Country is what has caused this Country to fall
for the past 28 years! Please tell me there are other folks than
the bush's & clinton's to run our Government. Frankly, ran the
Country into the ground from both the bush's & clinton!

Hill-Bill have made over a 100 Million dollars from "the people"
since 2001 to the present. Well, having to spend their money
to run for the "office" doesn't bid well for her / them!

Hill has ran a terrible campaign & would do the same as President!
How I know she has proved it right before "our" eyes!

Obama / The American People in 08

I think that Sen Clinton should gracefully bow out and save the party from any further damage and division. I think that the only reason why all the super-delegates have not rushed into Obama's camp is because they want her to exit gracefully... knowing that forcefully pushing her out may anger her supporters from voting for Obama.
I hope someone in her camp can tell her that.. I think she is being ill- advised by her campaign operatives. I think Sen Clinton is a shrewd politician and I dont think she will win the general elections even if she becomes the Dem. nominee... with all the divisions she has created among the voting blocks within the party.
It is about time she saves the Democratic party from all these...!!!

I think it is now time for senator clinton to endorse Obama, it's time for the party to unite. Obviously she is trying to be selfish and fighting a battle she cannot win. She should know better that. She does not care about the party, neither does she care about the american people as she claim. Getting back to the white house is all she cares....Too bad

YES! I also believe that Hillary Clinton will be the nominee. Taking the Obama horse is just a leap of faith: too many ifs, lots of question marks. In his pronouncements, Obama has been saying that he is not the COO guy, that's he's more of a CEO guy, just like Bush. And look what that leadership-style has led us: TO THE DITCH. So Obama will essentially further entrench us in the DITCH.

Ergo, Hillary will be IT.

Dear Senator Clinton,

It´s time for us to move on and forget about the presidency post, you are a fighter , a great fighter but you have to let it go, cos there is no way you are going to win. I love you senator and i wish you the best in your career,please let it go.

I think it's amazing to hear the Clinton camp make these statements about her winning the nomination, but what's more impressive is that they do it with a straight face. LOL

3 weeks and we can end this and come together.

Obama '08!

I have no idea what Senator Clinton is doing. I'm sorry but Oboma has won this contest and it's time to move on. Why do I get the feeling Oboma is going to be sworn in as President in January and Senator Clinton is going to still be Campaigning. Seriously folks.

Who better to manage the country's checkbook than a person who can't manage her own campaign's.

Not to mention someone who clearly has some problems with basic arithmetic.

Hillary should get out of the race now so she can save at least some of her respect, if she has any left after all of this. Not to mention not doing any more harm to the Democratic party.

McCain 2008

Clinton 2012

Thats just how it might be...

Why do democrats keep working against each other?

Clinton and Obama have practically the same proposals (only difference: Clinton is trying to buy the nomination by offering popular but stupid regulations... but she'll stop that as soon as she's got into office anyway).

Therefore: Get together! Start fighting the republicans!

Clinton supporters are going about this election as if they are fighting a war,this is politics,politics is a game of number,majority carries the vote,The earlier we stop politics of war ,bitterness and hatred the better,Clinton might be the best to you but if the majority of Americans says it is Obama,lets respect the wish of majority.Why are we too bitter?,Everybody has their own fault,Obama is playing a clean politics,if he has opened up on Clinton,so many of you would have ran away.Lets be wise!!!!!!

What the deal with Michelle andHillary? Are there any real sources of info. regarding this? Frankly, that only increases my opinion of Michelle.

Sen. Clintons withdrawl from the race is going to be a non-event by the time she gets her head around the reality. It seems that she has more to lose by remaining than be exiting now (or yesterday).

Supers with nothing to lose should step up and put this contest to bed. It's just painful at this point.

Sorry Clinton will not be the Nominee, Obama is. All are in Denial. OBAMA/08

Howard Wolfson is lying when he says HRC could be the nominee. They are likely running to raise enough money to pay HRC back the 11 M she put into her poorly run race. Enough race baiting Hillary, time to go home in shame. For well over a quarter century you and your husband have made of living off of dividing people and playing the popular end to your advantage. Its time to turn over a new leaf, Americans are tired of politicians who lie, race bait and perjure themselves and thinks it's OK. It's not OK. Your style of politics will go down in history as being vulgar, disgusting and beyond reproach. Those that lie for you, Wolfson, Terry McCaulaf, Begala, Carville, Penn and Ichies will forever be known as the douchbags of the democratic party.

Well I for one really hopes she will be. If not the only option left is to write her in or vote Ron paul

I just don't understand this, How do they expect her to be the nominee? I always here this talk about how she is going to bring the economy because her husband did a superb job at it. Heres the thing, President Clinton did a really great job with this country when he was in office no doubt about it, but I don't think she would take much advice from him because she seems like the "its my way or the highway" type. Also, this talk about the economy, she can't even run a campaign without going into debt. So GOD HELP US if she becomes the nominee.

Now that I is the nominee. I think the competative ticket will be either Obama/Pelosi or Obama/Edwards. Both has its own advantage. Obama/Pelosi ticket will definitely win back all the elderly women votes. Also that will secure catholic and hispanic votes. That will also blunt any move by Mc Cain to win the independents and Hispanics of CA with help from the Gov. there. Obama Edwards will also be an excellent one.

Obama/Pelosi or Obama/Edwards 08.

It would be extremely upsetting if the Obama campaign bailed out the poorly managed campaign of Clinton. I hope David Axelrod is sincere in his answers. Wouldn't it be ludicrous if the average working person's donation to Obama went to help pay off the millionaire Clinton's debt?

Secondly, I also hope it is very true that Clinton will not be the VP choice. At this point I believe that Barack Obama is a man of his word and not a phony. I would have serious doubts about this if they were on the same ticket. (I would also then probably vote for the other man that I thought was honorable.)

I saw Wolfson on Chris Matthews. He is soooo delusional.
Chris Matthews called him "one of those Japanese warriors still fighting the war in 1951!"

She should have listen to Kenny Rodger's song instead of Elton John's. YOU GOT TO KNOW WHEN TO HOLD THEM, KNOW WHEN TO FOLD THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pack up camp Baby.

"Clinton's top strategist Howard Wolfson told the same program, "We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee," and that he has "seen no evidence of her interest" in the number two slot."

Got quite a chuckle from that one. Is this in the same alternate universe where Clinton dodged sniper fire? The same universe where its ok for Clinton to take her young daughter to a war zone?

Obama has the popular vote, Obama has the delegate vote, and will very soon be winning the super delegate count. This is over and Clinton needs to stop whatever she is smoking.

I can't wait to see Obama and McCain debate the real issues. It'll be nice to have coverage of what the candidates really stand for and not just the pandering of a certain democrat.

Obama 08'

Hillary Clinton ran a solid, campaign and I would love to see her bow out with some ease, but I do not think that the dream ticket will be a good idea. Clinton should go around supporting obama after the convention to help unite the party again. If that happened, theres no way McSame could get anywhere near the whitehouse.

Hillary, don't be his running mate as he will most likely lose. Work on fundraising for 2012 instead. Insist that he take a Hillary surrogate as his running mate, however.

I have voted democratic sent McGovern. I will vote for McCain in November if Obama manages to get the nomination. I am very polically active in the city of Huntsville Alabama and I can promise you that north Alabama democrats will vole for McCain if we have too.

This message to for very Obama backer. The Republician Party will win in November if Obama wins this nomination.

Who was the top money draw for the Democratic Party for the past 6 years? That's right Hillary Clinton. She brought in millions and remember when the talk was that she could have the largest War Chest in the history for a Presidential Run. What happened to all that money? She did what a true believer would have done. The money was released to fund the campaigns of the Democratic candidates in 2004 and 2006. Her fund raising and hard earned money was responsible for the election of a majority of newly elected Democratic Senators and Representatives.
The Democratic Party Chiefs have run over her just like they would anyone who held party loyalty above their own personal gains. SHE was just the Biggest Celebrity of the Party, the volunteer fund raiser , and became the gal you sent out for coffee when the new CEO came on board. The new guy is charismatic and full of idealist words and you are willing to hire him right out of his internship in CEO land.
To hell with any sense of gratitude for the work Senator Clinton has done to increase the majority in Congress of Democrats and women. For the first time in more years than most Obama supporters can remember, we have a democratic majority in both Houses.
For me, that tells me and my family that Party loyalty , adhering to the principles of fair play, and Party recognition of service is no where to be found on the NEW Democratic Party agenda.
I find the Democratic Party's lack of principle and integrity so abominable that I will vote as Independent or vote for a Republican before I will vote for a Democratic Party shill like Obama.

The rest of the world is watching this contest with great interest. Why? Because as much as some American's sometime believe they are the be all and end of of democratic society, the rest of the world sees things differently. They see America is the spoiled brat, the teenager holding the rest of the world hostage and demanding preferential treatment and the seat at the head of proverbial table.

I might add that in years past, the United States has indeed earned bragging rights to some extent. But in recent times (last 30 years or so), their position of respect in the world has eroded to the point they are now considered just bullies. Bullies who are intent on pushing their beliefs, their economy and yes, even their democracy on everyone else in the world due to a perceived much higher opinion of themselves than others in the world.

You have a chance to change this trend with Senator Obama. You seem to have a clear choice. Continue the tried and failed policies of the past thirty years, or proceed with something new....something fresh. Obama seems to have the capacity to open doors, and the capacity to inspire others to see beyond the rhetoric. Hillary Clinton will continue the policies of the old democratic guard.

The world outside the USA is hoping for an Obama win....as the Rush Limbaugh's are perceived to be demonstrative of everything that is wrong with the USA, and Obama is perceived to be demonstrative of everything that is right with the USA.

His message of hope not only extends to America itself, in that collectively it can right itself towards a more prosperous and unified future, rather than continue down the spiral of destruction that it's current path seems to define. The message of hope also extends to the rest of the world also, in that we hope to see the America we once respected, we once knew, and we once loved....again.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter to the end, although it looks like Obama will get the Democratic nomination. If Obama does not offer the vice presidency to Hillary, I will vote for John McCain just to sabotage him. By the way, almost everyone I know will do the same. Obama had better not diss Hillary. Her followers are too loyal to ever allow her to be disrespected.

I also think most people would agree that Obama should not repay her debts. She's continued to put herself in this position. If she chooses to continue the race, and that is well within her right, she should – BUT AT HER OWN EXPENSE!
If she wants someone to bail her out, let it be all these online supporters that say they won't vote for Obama if he gets the nomination.

i just think that senator clinton is too proud to take the fate that has befallen her. having started as the clear front runner and then finishing like this is too hard to swallow knowing that the eventual nominee is a guy she has run down in the past.
She should take life the way it comes, maybe the american people actually want change instead of experience.

Would be pretty sad if Obama has to actually buy Clinton's support.

HILLARY DON'T GIVE UP !!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR OBAMA IS LIKE VOTING FOR CHAVEZ AND VOTING FOR MACCAIN IS VOTING FOR DUMB BUSH AGAIN.....OBAMA TALKS TOO MUCH, HE HAS NOT PLAN, GO HILLARYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen someone in such denial. Clinton is not good for the Democratic party. She is not in this to get the best candidate. She is in this for herself.
Obama has much better people to choose from as his running mate and choosing Clinton would be a big mistake. She and Bill would be a package deal of problems.
At the end of the primaries she needs to face reality and put her support behind Obama and whomever he chooses as his running mate for the good of the party.

PLEASE GAWD PLEASE, let Clinton be the nominee! We are really screwed if Obama is the nominee.

Stand strong against Obama – we must show the DNC that their superdelegate bull is not acceptable.

The Democratic Party is against democracy. DNC says WE will decide – NOT YOU THE VOTERS.

I am done with the Democratic Party. some say how can you abandon the party – because they have abandoned a large segment of America. Their entire focus is Blacks, College kids, goofy university intellectuals. They keep saying people with no education are the only ones voting for Hillary. PROPAGANDA!! So, that proves Obama is an elitest and so is the DNC.

DOWN WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!!!!

Independent or it is time for a 3rd party.

DOWN WITH OBAMA
DOWN WITH THE DEMOCRATIC (far left crazies)

They know they will lose our vote and they don't care, Obama has promised this stupid 50 state voter registration – he will be registering street people – wait and see. He has promised he will replace us to the DNC.

NO TO OBAMA

CLINTON/MCCAIN 08 (STAND FIRM AMERICA – if we don't this is the end of democracy)

I hope Michelle Obama does say hell no to a Clinton VP....that would show excellent judgement.

if senator Obama wins the nominee for the presidential candidate, I think it would be a disaster for hIm to chose Hill-Bill for his running mate. That would be two against one and they would try to make Sen,Obama into mash potatoes. Beside, Hill-Bill would also do everything to spoil his chances of running or serving a second term
or even fihish out his first term. Sen. Hill desperately wants to become Pres. and would do anything to destroy Sen. Obama should he become pres. so that she could step right in as pres.
I have seen the same senario in corporate America and it worked.
This would be the same situation. . Sen. Hill-Bill would not be a low-keyed vice-pres. this is only Human nature.
WORRIED!!!

I hope Hillary does become the nominee. Miracles can happen.

P...leeese Wolfson! By what you're saying it's evident that you're living in another planet, but on second thought, you don't even believe what you're saying, and you started not believing it since way back in January when you started to negotiate a book-deal on the failures of the campaign. How's that deal going? You'll probably be able to recoup all the wages you didn't collect. Good luck.

She couldn't care about her supports in the least bit... People know she's struggling and are still trying to help send her money for a lost cause.

Hillary will be asking Obama for help.

Hillary said she was no shrinking violet, so why don't she make like a leaf and leave already??????

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, some people are just in denial, give it up Hillary and reunite the party please.

It is good to hear that no money from the Obama campaign funds is likely to be used in helping Clinton erase her debts. As a campaign donor I wouldn't want a single cent to be used towards reinforcing her perseverative, obsessive behavior.

Obama should not consider Hillary for VP. Her negative stance will disrupt his message and she will try to pull him down to her Rovian style. I am grateful Sen.Ted Kennedy spoke out.
No to the NIGHTMARE ticket....go Obama

Hillary can be in denial about her losing the race and she may have to be committed to a white room for being insane. She is destoying her own legacy which shall be remembered as the woman who didn't know when to stop fighting a loss cause. She needs to recognize that the fight now is with John McCain and not with Barack Obama. The Democratic Party needs to unite and win back the White House. What she thinks at this point doesn't matter; she had ample opportunity to win the nominee and the voters have made their selection. See ya Billary, go call your momma.

Hello Hilliary,

Sounds to me like you';ve decided to simply play it out to the end. No problem there, voters should have a say, and its the least you can do for the way Americans have been screwed over by you and Billy, however when you can no longer get the financial support of your supposed supporters you only have your die hard supported who are not going to be on the inside in a new Democratic Organziaiton. I dont blame them for fighting with you so they can play a future role in Washington. Sadly it is you who have funded $11million of the $20 million you now owe, so you are not appealing to your base any longer and they know your not going to win. You can only win with a miracle......however I will not send a prayer your way. If you can't run a campaign and balance your books without a capital injection I wouldn't trust you at the helm. Senator Obama has demonstrated his leadership skills, despite your retoric that he doesn't ahve nay expereince. Well the facts speak for themselves. He's winning and you are losing.....best of luck in the years ahead....
Obama '08

How on earth would people see Hillary seeking a tag ticket for this election after doing so much damage to the Obama's campaigns.Does she actually tryin to play on American's intelligent? I just want this to be an end to the Clinton's era.Enough is enough!!

I don't think Hillary would accept the Vice Presidential ticket if it were offered, at least I hope she wouldn't.I hope she will run on an Independent ticket , if she doesn't , as bad as I hate to I will have to vote Republican.

If she can't hire people capable of managing her campaign finances, I can only imagine the idiots she'd back to "fix" the economy. Howard Wolfson is delusional. The only way Clinton could win is if she stole the election. FL and MI knew the repercussions for holding an early primary; still they decided to break party rules. If you can't play by the rules, you don't deserve to play at all. Clinton, drop out already. It's time to unite the party.

Who cares why Hillary is staying in this race? it's over and even she knows it. And to all HRC supporters who claim you will leave the party if Obama's the nominee, what are you waiting for? HE IS THE NOMINEE SO SCRAM!!

Obama won fair and square buit go ahead–Vote for McCain and sleep well when 2000 more Americans die in Iraq over the next four years and Roe v. Wade is overturned and we don't get healthcare and he refuses to sign the GI bill. You'll have to live with yourself like all of those 2000 Nader voters who wept when they saw what Bush did to this country.

Do it. I dare you you spoiled, whiny self-deluded brats!

Hillary is the clear choice for President of Denial.

We all know who the winner is. People have already said whom they want. Clintons came into the race as if nomination and presidency was their birth right. Who is Obama? He came from no where. He battled against the mighty Clintons, won across all sections of people....there is a movement now for change ... nice for the country....

An Obama / Clinton ticket would be disasterous. I think Obama would rather lose in Nov than have to accept her as his VP after all she has done to destroy him with her hard working white american comments and " I don't think he is a muslim ' and who can forget this one " Sen McCain is ready on day one, I'm ready on day one, and Sen Obama has a speech he gave in 2002 " She has lost the respect of a lot of Dem voters who supported her and Bill during his two terms in office. I wish they would just leave quietly while they still have some support so that Chelsea can possibly have a successful run in next 20 yrs.

What is she looking for? A CLUE!!

"playing it out as she sees fit??" Like she still has control over this race? Nice try.

Yes, Hillary!
Obama shoud stay with Rev. WRIGHT in their Church to enjoy anti american preaches!

Just read Bernstein's article about the possibility of HRC becoming the VP. Interesting that Michelle Obama would "vigorously oppose it".
And here I thought you Obama supporters were sick of intrusive spouses in the White House.

Is that a misprint or are they really as delusional as I've thought for some time? America, I hope you remember the Clinton's this time around. You seem to have forgotten about Bill and his escapades with women. Let's get smart about the corrupt couple.

I believe that Hillary Clinton will be able to pull off and beat Obama for the "Nominee" and go on to beat McCain in November.

Michelle thinks of herself as better than others. Also is not that "Proud" of America! Hillary is so much more of a "First Lady" than Michelle will ever be!

Of course, Hillary is NOT looking for a DEAL; she is looking for a STEAL.

I am from Calif, I am a registered Democrat and voted for Hillary, David Axelrod is now making me angry , I am going to turn Republican and come Nov I will vote for every Republican name I see in the ballot and vote McCain come GE!!!

Senator Clinton has every right to continue although she has only harmed the Democratic Party. I personally think she is bitter, but don't quote me on it. By the way, I am not a sexist. If the roles were reversed, I would not vote for Obama if he had Clinton's platform. I don't vote according to gender or race.

Obama still has too get past the Rev. Wright, I don't think it's over, and how can he say he wants american's too get past racism when he exposed his 2 young daughter's too the Rev. Wright. I think Obama separated himself from the Rev. because it could hurt his campaign, but I think he stil believes in the Rev. Wright.
Obama's wife should is a poor excuse for a first lady, the first lady should be proud , not all snotty and thinking she is better than everyone.

This is starting to get a bit ridiculous if you ask me. It seems that Senator Clinton just wants to rewrite the rule to benefit her. I find it odd that the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination is now 2,209 according to the Clinton campaign. What a Carl Rove, Republican effort to cheat the democratic process. Hillary you should be ashamed of yourself.

Here France, this fight between Obama and Clinton is not funny anymore. He or She?, He is in a good position to win; she will never give up. In my point of view those two fellows are not certainly gonna be friends after the democrat convention.

Dream ticket? deal? I would give my right arm this ain't gonna happen!

Oh, and by the way (CNN and Wolfson) ... the SUPERDELEGATE count is now 275 (Obama) to 271 (Clinton) ...

She doesn't even lead *THAT* anymore...

So long!

What is Clinton but a Juda, a back staber. She thinks she can hurt de DP, she is lying to herself. Let her carry her torture stick to her golgother. Nobody will help her pay the debt, the money she used to slander the Nomminee
nganenu

... er, are you serious? You think Clinton is going to be the nominee?

No wonder she has done so poorly, if you are her "top strategist" ...

In... SANE.

Since the Clintons are so confident, I am suspicious. Howard needs to take a chill pill.

Hillary, you lost....GET OVER IT! Just cause you arent going to be the nominee doesn't mean you need to continue to torture us by saying "I'm going to win" or this "Ready to lead on day one" stuff....yo9u can't even run a successful, truthful, non-nasty campaign

Wow, this whole commenting section/blog spot hasn't exactly caught on yet. If Clinton had the reasonability of Obama, she would have stepped down a little over a month ago.

Anybody 'thinking' does -not- think Clinton will be the nominee. That's more for 'wishing', 'hoping', and 'dreaming'.

And it's time to stop denoting a combo ticket as Clinton-Obama.
The correct name/order for the fantasy is Obama-Clinton.

As was noted on one of the press shows this morning... including Clinton baggage on the Obama ticket is against his core platform of change... which renders the entire idea a fantasy.

Obama may be gracious enough to say HRC would be on anybody's 'short list'... but the reality is that she would devalue his and the Democrat's bid, to anyone besides Democrats... HRC isn't needed for party unity, even if some are lunatic enough to declare they'll go against their own beliefs and vote for the other side. Obama will pick a VP that will support his 'change' from the Bush/Clinton era.

How can the choice of the second most important job in the US be determined by Michelle Obama, someone who just recently "found" a reason to love her country.

I would not be surprised if the Clinton camp is working day and night searching for some downfall for the Obama camp, they just cannot be so positive on Hillary Clinton still being the nominee, something is up there sleves, I smell a rat guys.

She's $20 million in debt just for her campaign? Can't wait to see what she'd do with the economy!!

This is foolish. Obama cannot win the general in Nov. Do your research – not sound bite surfing. Every legitimate statistic regarding this race shows Senator Clinton the only one to beat McCain and secure the majority of States. If you do not want 4 more yrs. of a Republican presidency, than use your head and vote for Senator Clinton. She is clearly the most qualified individual – black/white/purple – that our party has seen in generations. Senator Obama is not ready – putting him up as the nominee now is throwing away our opportunity in Nov.

I, like millions of democrats, will be forced to vote for McCain as independents in the Fall if he goes forward. We will without question make sure that he does not make it to the presidency. These are not bitter comments of the moment that will wash away over time. These are very real facts folks.

No Senator Clinton as the VP choice. That is old Washington that Obama has said he is against from day 1. I for one would lose all respect for him if he did this anf went against his concept for CHANGE.

I don't think Hillary will raise that much at this stage in the game. Pennsylvania didn't do much for her, perhaps West Virgina will help some in raising money. Being stubborn, destructive, deceptive and self centered has it's price!!

Obama will win. I don't know why she is wasting her time and money. I believe that She should try to get a joint ticket with Obama. This will make democrats unstoppable in November. McCain is already stepping up the relentless attacks against Obama. I believe that Clinton and Obama can work well together to fight off these attacks.

Obama 08'

Obama/Clinton 09

Richardson should be VP!

Game over boys! Advantage Obama. Now let the real tournament begin.

Run! Hillary Run!
This year’s the Democrat nomination is the most skewed process in terms of races, genders, and ages. The most severe skewer is the race. Take the NC primary as an example. 93% African Americans (AFA) voted for Obama, while only 39% of the rest voted for him. Yet, he had a big win (14%) over Hillary Clinton. Do you know that Hillary would need 30% AFA votes or 73% of non-black votes just to tie Obama? This over 90% AFA support of Obama has been the prevailing key for Obama’s lead in the primary contest. What is wrong in this process? It has given Obama a free ride, and has skewed Hillary’s broader supports. The caucus procedure and the DNC mishandling of the FL and MI primaries have helped Obama further. So I have an advice for Hillary: continue fighting for the nomination until the last votes is cast. If you are not nominated, then run as an independent in November. You have the broadest supports, and you can beat both McCain and Obama in the general election.

Howard, what has Hillary been putting in the koolaid. I suggest you stop drinking it. There is no way she is the nominee.

WE NEED GOD'S INTERVENTION!

How many times are you folks going to recycle images to add that little extra "oooooh she looks menacing" touch?

Obama needs a real person for VP not a sen. Clinton.

I think Sen. Clinton will stay in the race until November. She will run as third party candidate with her coalition and give John McCain the presidency. All of her supporters will blame Obama for running, and stealing the Democratic nomination from her. Instead, they should be blaming Wolfson, Penn, and the rest of her strategists for ignoring the little states and focusing on the larger primaries, and loosing the nomination to a virtual unknown. The only people who will benefit for her tenacity will be the Republican Party.

"We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee." This is downright delusional. How exactly does the Clinton camp think this is going to happen? What seriously is their plan? So they're going to get 80% of the next several states then swing superdelegates at the convention, thereby disenfranchising every Obama Democrat from hear till eternity? If that happens, look for McCain to win the general election and a strong independent candidate in the next election. I'm voting for Obama. This country needs radical change, and of the current candidates, he's best positioned right now to deliver that.

i am not sure if superdelegates are listening to Hillary's "winning campaign" as Obama is getting more superdelegates than Hillary

Actually, "Tony," if the super delegates have any sense, Senator Clinton *will* be the nominee. I understand the excitement, and I understand that Obama has more delegates right now, and I understand that you're an Obama supporter... Trust me, I understand all of it. But Hillary is still more electable vs. John McCain than Obama. You can argue that all you want, but you'll the one kidding yourself.

Hillary Clinton is no longer the Hillary Clinton I thought I new. I am saddened by her being in denial that people just plain don't like her, because she is too hawkish, a phony populist and an person who's voice, eyes and body language says "I AM LYING" every time she speaks. If the Clinton's really cared about their legacy, rather than grabbing and maintaining power for themselves, they would gracefully exit the race and let a new generation of Democrats who are less into pork and PACs lead the party. It makes me cringe to see Hillary's spin crew continuing to try to spin her "inevitability." Sadly, megalomania is not just limited to the Republicans–I think all politicians and preachers suffer from it. The Clintons showed contempt for voters in the way in which they behaved on the campaign trail and are deserving only of our contempt in return.

That comment is the epitome of delusional.

this scares me, please don't make a deal with her that would let her in the white house.

I am Hillary supporter and I am also a realist.

Please tell me how Hillary can be a nominee. If you are just saying for the sake of saying and giving us false Hopes to raise money- then it is not helping people like me.

If you have a solid strategy about it- please do let us know. I'd like to know and prepare for General Election.

Do not mislead your supporters, Hillary.

The Americans rewarded the Clinton`s family by giving Bill Clinton 2 terms after he had spoiled Monica`s blue dress. Now it is time for Clintons to thank the Americans by start supporting the Candidate with more total delegates. We do not need 3 political parties in America-The Clinton Party-The Democrats and the Republicans. A good candidate should also learn to accept defeat.

any suggestion that West Virginia is going to change what is now a foregone conclusion, is just further evidence of Clinton's wishfull thinking.

The state she really needs to deal with is her state of denial!

are these people for real...they are in denial big time.

Howard's comment reminds me of Karl Rove after the Bush-Kerry debate where Rove was the only person on Earth to claim that Bush won. Well, I guess it's your job to speak like a robot for your candidate even when it makes no sense.

On another note, I really hope Obama doesn't take Clinton on as a VP running mate. This is not a dream ticket. She'd bring him down hard. People hate Hillary. He needs to find a strong war-vet dem who looks a little like McCain. Maybe Wes Clark?

The problem with the Clinton camp is they are having delusions of grandure............................as for retiring her debt...no one in the Obama camp asked her to stay in and spend more money, plus she can afford to retire her own debt. VP spot??..not a snow balls chance in hell.........a VP MUST compliment the president... we have seen enough of her to believe the contrary is true.
Clinton needs to help bring this party together...but alls we have seen since NC and IN is her still dividing. This has to end soon. Most of us are really tired of her retoric and are ready to begin the "push" against McCain and the republican party.

20 million in debt? That reflects the financial stadium the US is in right now. Not a very healty campaign I believe !

Young men and women are risking their lives to help provide democracy and free elections in other counties. Yet in the United States of America, the will of the people can be overturned by a bunch of backroom cronies who will decide this nomination while the voters of FL and MI have been disenfranchised by an illogical rule set up by the Democrats. Is this fair? To declare that Obama is the front runner when the superdelegates are casting their votes to impede any further progess by Hillary is just wrong at this stage of the game. Americans should be outraged by the way the backroom Democrats are trying so hard to get Obama elected. And Obama, I hope you are proud of yourself.

howard wolfson,
you apparently have a problem working threw the steps of loss and are stuck in the state of denial . clintons campaign is dead , gone , rip....regardless if the funeral is later or now its still over!
if she is going to stay in she should do the noble thing and focus on mccain... .. not this whole look at me im talking ,look at me , look at me. stunt!
what is she tryng to prove with this? she can harldy say anything bush and the war she was for it and with him on it..
she can hardly say she has made smart choices when it comes to wars and our enemy's she has just recently claimed no hypotheticals should be talked about then said she would kill every man women and child in Iran in a hypothetical question this in my thoughts would hurt the chance to talk peace with iran if she got the nod, wouldnt it?
then her comment on not talking to enemy leaders with in the first year saying it was naive then claiming she would and it was a strength. that must be a strength she doesnt have then!!!

Never say never. After hearing Obama had to let go of Malley, because of Hamas sympathizing, there just maybe more ghost hiding in Obamas closets. He doesn't let them out until he is caught with them.

The newly crowned queen of the "white, uneducated, hard-working" voters is doing what she knows best...trying to keep her name in the news, because it is all that her fragile ego can do. She is a sad, sad example of womanhood in America.

As Hillary said on FOX: ‘God bless us rich people’. But $20 mil is big money even for someone who is worth $100 mil. Perhaps, she will raise some money after WV.

I just keep wondering what this ‘October surprise’ she is talking about may be? Any hints?

Obama should wait until all primaries are held before declaring himself a winner. Superdelegates' support may change again and again and again before the convention. Senator Clinton is certainly more qualified than Senator Obama and will be the candidate rational Americans will choose.

Clinton is only trying to get out of debt...she knows that she's lost the respect she had amongst the people. Now, she's just trying to pocket some $$. There's no sincerity in her part with respect to the nation or the party. She clearly accepted the DNC's decision to not count FL and MI delegates before the primary season begun. Then, when she found herself in the hole, she insisted that the votes be counted.
Then, in the other ad, she featured people who opposed the war, but Clinton voted for the war, regardless.
Now, someone please tell me what people think when they watch this ad. It shows that her "experience" led her to vote for the war. Now, she's running against the war and claiming to attack Iran.
Conspiracy after conspiracy, just for the sake of some votes.
With all respect to her, I think the lack of integrity and conscious thinking is what Clinton is facing. And she's dug so deep in the hole that is humiliating for in both ways...whether to quit or be forced out because of the lack of delegates.

This 'dream ticket' nonsense would make Obama a hypocrite because he is running a different kind of politics – HRC is the very embodiment of the politics Obama wants to change.

So HRC as veep? No way Obama would even consider it. When he responds with comments like "it's too presumptious to answer that right now", it is a only a politically correct and polite way of saying NO WAY!!! When will the media and some people get that?

- disenfranchised bitter FL "voter"

this is ridiculous........how can Howard even imagine Clinton being the democratic nominee.
Hey, wake up from this dream!!!

I hope and pray that Sen. Clinton runs her campaign in a more positive way. We are democrat and we should be united. I am her supporter but I am willing to vote for Obama in the fall because we have to make sure that we'll win the White House.

The VP position would not work for either. Both are working for the top spot, and that is ingrained in the desire to run the country. Either one would not be a beneficial position for the other. There would be a power struggle.

There are millions of people who still believe Hillary Clinton will be the nominee.

I am among them.

If the democrats want to win in November, they will choose her. If they want to lose and make us suffer under 4 more years of repubican tyranny, then they will run Obama.

Barbara Reynolds, a Clinton supporter, invited Rev. Wright to speak at the press club because she thought it would help Clinton!!!

Now Clinton's at it again with "race baiting," Please work to get her divisive rhetoric off the front page – thank you

Concerned Citizens of the Democratic Party

ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS WRITE HER NAME IN ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER IF SHE IS NOT THE NOMINEE!!!!!!

THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING!!!!!!!!
WE THE PEOPLE ULTIMATELY DECIDE THIS ELECTION!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Howard are you just playing or are you fooling yourself. Do yourself and favour and tell Haillry to drop out of the race because you may not be paid by end of this month.She may not even pay her bills. Did Bill and Hillary Clinton hear what John Edwards said. If they do then Haillary should drop out now!!
Shame on you Bill and Hillary.

CLINTONS HAD THEIR TIME IN THE WHITEHOUSE- STOP TRYING TO STEAL BARACK'S THUNDER.

STEP ASIDE HILLARY, UNITE THE PARTY,AND STOP DIVIDING IT.

YOUR SENATE SEAT MAY BE IN JEOPARDY BY THE NEW YORKERS WHO SEE THAT YOU ARE DIVIDING, RATHER THAN UNITING THE PARTY.

SHOW THE LOVE YOU PROFESSED PRE-NEWHAMPSHIRE FOR YOUR CO8UNTRY AND STEP ASIDE.

AMERICANS ARE UNITED BEHIND BARACK OBAMA- YOU SHOULD UNITE ALONG WITH THEM BY STOPPING THIS CHARADE.

what makes wolfson and clinton supporters think that obama can't win the big states,against mccain?obama and clinton both,won more popular votes,than any republican candidate, in every state.i'm certain the states won by clinton,can still be won in the fall ,by obama.if clinton and her supporters,would just unite with obama and the party,i'm sure we could win this ,in the fall.people should not blame obama, for hillary's loss ,of the nomination.her campaign did not do her any favors,and her strategy and tactics are outdated.this is not obama's fault.it's hillary's.and now, the entire party and the nation must suffer ,just because hillary and her hard-core supporters,think there's some miracle chance in hell,for her to be president.she lost because of her high negative ratings,not because of obama's low-negative ratings.if hillary feels she should be president,she should have run a cleaner campaign.

then we will vote for MC cain if she is. The democratic party is already divided. There may never be a dem at the white house

The most intelligent people of West Virginia and the other remaining five states of these democrat primaries will vote for the virtual winner that is Barack Obama. This action will give strong voice of needed change and political power in Washington D. C. to find solutions to solve the economic crisis that had diven to the actual Republican administration of Mr. Bush and Dick Chenney the United States and the rest of the world , in fact, the only thing they have well done is to fill their own pockets and of their friends, with companies like Halliburton , Dyncorp, Blackwater, K.B.& R. among others by making a endless war in Iraq (non- authorized by the Security Council of the United Nations) with a lot of oil and the highest gas prices in history and still climbing,leaving and a trail of blood, devastation and deaths of thousands of U. S. soldiers and hundred of thousand innocent Iraqis civilians among other more palpable domestic consequences we are feeling that had been warned before they happen by Obama.

Winners vote for winners not for second place contestants.

No disrespect to Senator Clinton, but she is only hurting herself in the long run. I guess she has 'hope' too.

Some of the comments made about WV on CNN blogs are ridiculous and insulting. I feel sorry for those who want to slam WV because it is "Clinton Country". WV's population has just as much right as any other state to have our votes counted. All superdelegates should wait until the primaries are finished before making their support for a candidate known. Otherwise, why didn't they just vote in their state primary and/or caucus. It is premature for them to decide until after the DNC Rules Commmittee meets. GO HILLARY, YOU ARE THE ONLY CANDIDATE WITH THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS!!!!!

Will Hillary just quit? Articles are coming out EVERY DAY asking her to stop running and let the party unite under Obama, who many consider a successor to Lincoln, FDR, and JFK? She came into this thing thinking the nomination, and, hell, even the gen election were her divine right, and now she's like a petulant child who refuses to admit they lost the game. "Well, that round didn't count," or "well, I wasn't trying that time," or "well, you didn't think about THIS aspect of it"–I can picture all three coming out of the mouths of children who have lost games and Hillary today.

She is a good candidate and her husband has been the best president since JFK. They are secured in history. But let this party unite, Hillary, and think of the good of America, instead of the good of you.

To think Hillary needs anything from Obama and his rabid supporters is an insult. Hillary is the best candidate for the GE and that will be proven come November.

Hillary supporters unite for 2012 – -
McCain '08 – Clinton '12

With such an unrealistic top strategist, no wonder Hillary lost. A bad campaign administration is a reflection of a bad White House administration.

The "deal" is that this is OVER and she needs to help start the unifying and healing process as soon as the lsat primary is over.

There's no deal to be made, anymore. Some time ago Clinton may have had some bargaining power, but no longer. She's finished. Now she's just hanging around so she can pick up a couple more states and go out on a high note. But it's painful watching her die a slow death while faking optimism in public. Sad.

Clinton is staying in the campaign in hopes of destroying any chance that Obama has in winning in November. This is so she can run in 2012. She doesn't care about the Democratic party, or the country. It is all about 'Hillary" and her quest for power. pathetic!!!!

HILLARY,
DON'T YOU DARE LOWER YOUR STANDARDS TO RUN WITH THIS NOBODY!!!!!!!!

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WOMEN!!!!

YOU KEEP GOING HILLARY!!!!!!

Why can't I get my comments posted??? CNN you are becoming a joke.

the Clintons are still looking for dirt on Obama to try and turn this around. Who said the Clintons are democrats?

As of 3:20pm Saturday on Foxnews, Lany Davis is on Hannity to question Obama on Ayres, saysing that "he (Obama) is not going to be our nominee" if he does not answer questions about Ayres.

Lany Davis, the defense lawer of Bill Clinton. Long live the impeachment.

I would like to remind my friends the Hillary supporters that there is no reason to be upset. We're still going to get a Democrat into the White House this fall who's going to bring our troops home and inspire a new generation of leaders. The dawn of a new America is here.

McCain would be a disaster for this country and we all know it.

She forces Obama to campaign against her, instead of Mc Cain. Of course she causes damage: that's Clinton-like.
Let's see what the actual damage will be...

$20 Mil?

PAY YOUR DEBTS

Hillary needs to get out of the race now. She is simply destroying the DNP for her own sake. What a bitter women she is.

Obama does not need Clinton as v.p. or anything else for that matter.

It just gets back to the old saying Gore used in "Inconvenient Truth;" when a person's job depends on not "getting" something, then they tend not to "get" it.
But I'm in an expansive mood after this week, let's move on and mop up McCain!

I wish she would just drop out so we can move forward with our battle with McBush!

Hillary it is over...pls walk away.

MICHELLE OBAMA THINGS THAT PEOPLE LIKE HER WELL THEY DONT SHE IS GOT A BIG MOUTH.LOL

boy I hope she doesn't take the vp spot. I would hate to feel like I had to vote for Obama. I think that would be the only way he can win. As someone who has backed Clinton all the way, I am not sure I would even vote for Obama then. I don't like the guy, I don't like his wife, and I do not trust him.

Go Obama, Your the people's choice!!! 200t w00t

I am very happy that America has decided on Obama. We have enjoyed hosting his foreign affairs minister and are looking forward to having a close or productive relationship with President Obama.

Praise Allah

clinton get out

I hope he doesn't choose her to be the VP. I think that would be a mistake – she would try to overshadow him.

Hopefully, the reason Edwards has been on the fence all this time is because he will be Obama's choice for VP.

ANYONE but Hillary. Gawd, I hate that woman!

I am a huge Obama supporter, but I guarantee you, if Clinton is on the ticket with him, I won't vote for him. If she is, Obama should never turn his back on her. I wouldn't put anything past that woman to try and get the top spot. Better have a food taster handy.

Please Hillary, just go away.....far, far away. And take your husband with you....oh wait, you probably don't want him either.

Howard Wolfson is paid to spin. That's also Terry McAuliffe's job, spin, spin, spin, until facts become blurry. Sorry. It's not working this time. They truly STILL BELIEVE that the superdelegates owe the Clinton's some unpaid political debt, and they will be the ones that come through for her at the end.
That's called a DREAM, a FANTASY. Clinton just cannot believe that this junior senator, a well-educated black man with a well-organized campaign and plan for America, knocked her off on the way to the White House. She's pathetic and she's desperate, and will stop at nothing to force her way into the Oval Office.
Why can't SHE close the deal? The Clinton name, the Clinton Machine – why can't she close the deal, why isn't she winning 32+ states, or ahead in delegates, or ahead in superdelegates?? She's evil, she's dishonest and she will soon have to address Sen. Obama as President Obama.

HRC is as usual going to destroy everything in her path for her own glory. She is a single minded woman with her own objectives. The DNC should show her the door and quickly!

This race was over 2 months ago

This woman is like an ancient plague.Will it ever end.She is really trying to destroy Obama's elect ability to ensure her option to run in 2012.She knows "when" he gets elected it could quite likely be 2 successive terms.In 2016 she would be almost 70 years old and not likely to be taken seriously.She has to plant the seeds now.

Suuuuurrrreee

I think It is true that Americans don't know Maths. What is Hilary doing now. her campaign is saying that "didn't think about Obama to be a VP for Hilary"..kikikiiii

I'm tired of these Clinton people bringing up this "Dream Ticket" junk or someone connected with the Clinton's on the ticket. Obama does not want or need someone vindictive as we have seen from both Clinton's on the trail. The Clinton's spending money like water with no worries, it's their problem not Obama's.

Now the American people see why the Clintons, their campaign, and surrogates are called MONSTERS.

Sen. Clinton is a fine lady however, she is by no means an organizer.
Why is her campaign allowing her to dwell in the path of denial? This is so unkind/ It makes mefeel that there is some devious plan to get rid of VINCE oops Obama.

I have keenly followed the Dems primaries as I am interested in American politics and following is my observation of the entire process:

Senator Clinton has by all standards fought a good fight but must think of retiring her campaign as she hasn't got even a mathematical chance of being the nominee. She is a political veteran but flawed her own campaign with her divisive strategies which Americans didn't buy. She was always and on the offensive throwing arsenals at Obama and instigating Americans against Obama telling them he's black. Americans really have shown their maturity and have signalled the world that they can no me be segregated on racial lines.

Obama '08

Good comment Tony. The Clinton camp appears to be infected with some type of virus that affects ones awareness of reality. I believe Hillary is doing everything she can to cause a disconnect between Obama and white voters. It's unbelievable that she takes this stance. Regardless, Obama will get some Republicans to cross over come election time making up for the ignorant blue collar whites that ONLY refuse to vote for Obama because he is a man of color.

OBAMA 2008

HEY CNN WHY DON'T YOU POST UPDATED DELEGATE NUMBERS FOR THE CANDIDATES????????

SINCE YESTERDAY OBAMA HAS HAD 1870 TOTAL DELEGATES AND CLINTON HAD 1699.5. WHY ARE YOU NOT POSTING HIS LEAD IN SUPERDELEGATES??????? ALL THE OTHER NEWS STATIONS ARE!!!!!! TRYING TO AID CLINTON BY SHOWING THAT ITS NOT OVER???????? ONCE AGAIN, LOOKS LIKE THE CLINTON NEWS NETWORK IS DOING ITS OWN THING!!!

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES, OBAMA WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Denial is not a rive in Egypt...

Denial
Anger
Grief

this is not just about death – these are the stages of emotional loss of anything...

So – will the HRC mob petition the Supreme Court to allow the illegal votes of MI and Fl to now be counted – so that they can prolong the inevitable?

Tony, Miami May 11th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

"Let be serious Howard ""We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee," . You and I don't even believe that you are going to have your pay check at the end of this month. You are actually kidding yourself."

Why when Obama has such a big war chest and is out-spending the Clinton campaign by 2-4 times per race, has Obama not been able to bring it home?

Guy's an empty suit, he's not a closer.

glad to hear that billary is not looking for adeal i find that hard to believe. one thing that would hurt obama campain with me is that if i
felt the the moneythat i have donated to his war chest was in any way going to pay toward her campain debit. and if he put hillary on his ticket so much for his speech on hope honesty and change.
and he would spend more time trying to right the things that hillary an bill were doing to him thats all he wouldget done

Why on earth would Mrs. Clinton want to be VP under a child? That is called babysitting, not legacy building.

There is nothing dreamy about both of them running together. How could he pick her as a running mate when she's spent the past six months attacking his character, patriotism and ability to lead? There is no love lost between these two, and she should happily return to the senate when this process is complete.

It's one thing to have to fight with an angry scorpion in the public square, but it would be foolish to invite it to come back to the house with you.

If Wolfson is still saying Clinton will be the nominee, it makes it clearer why she has struggled throughout the campaign. I think it's called RDD – Reality Detachment Disorder.

One of David Axelrod's strategies for the general election campaign should be to keep Michelle Obama out of the picture. She seems to have a chip on her shoulder and projects a great deal of anger. Her husband seems to be very likeable but Michelle appears to have an axe to grind.

I sincerely hope Obama is smart enough NOT to put her on the ticket. I could see her making some major political "gaffe" which turns people off so they lose the election. Then she'll make the argument she should have been the nominee and she'll plan to run in 2012 after McCain has run the country into a full out depression.

If she is on the ticket and they win, Obama should employ a taste tester and put a leash on both the Clintons. No doubt they'll think they are at the top of the ticket whether they are or not.

Michelle Obama has made no secret of her disdain for Hillary Clinton. In an interview months ago, when asked, she said she would have to "think long and hard" before she could vote for Hillary if she became the nominee. She has continued to denigrate Hillary. Anyway, I don't see Hillary being vice-president under any circumstances. She has too much to offer and is an absolute "doer". I don't think being a vice-president would offer her much opportunity to use her incredible talents. She'd be a great president or secretary of state, though.

Senator Clinton has by all standards fought a good fight but must think of retiring her campaign as she hasn't got even a mathematical chance of being the nominee. She is a political veteran but flawed her own campaign with her divisive strategies which Americans didn't buy. She was always and on the offensive throwing arsenals at Obama and instigating Americans against Obama telling them he's black. Americans really have shown their maturity and have signalled the world that they can no me be segregated on racial lines.

Obama '08

Hillary is doing well not to connect herself to a piece of crap like obama. After all when McCain beats obama's butt and he joins the other loser Kerry who lost an easy run, we can all ask them why they want to always snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Best thing to do it get rid of the guys and I MEAN GUYS in congress that think that are hot stuff and put WOMEN in their place. Starting with Kerry next year.....

I am guessing the ludicrous rumors that Clinton might want Obama to help with her campaign debt originated with the media, where a lot of so-called "news" originates.

As a dedicated Obama supporter who made some personal sacrifices in order to come up with two small donations to the Obama campaign, this rumor is beyond laughable.

Who is Obama going to need as his Vice-President?
JFK had LBJ. Who is going to be Obama's LBJ?
Who can help Obama and the Democrats win in Michigan, Ohio, and Florida?
Hillary that's who, without Hillary on the ticket Obama's chances of winning are a longshot at best.
Obama screwed himself by fighting the re-votes in Michgan and Florida. What was he afraid of? That losing those states would hurt him with the superdelegates?
That's water under the bridge, now he has to make nice to those states in order to become President.
Let's face facts Obama needs Hispanic, Women, and the White Male vote to win, Hillary can deliever that vote.

Hillary is in a state of denial. The pundits should give her time to swallow in what's happening. I sympathize with her.

To make a deal you have to have something to daal with.

I can see why Obama supporters are mean and nasty to Hillary supporters. Hillary supporters are big babies like their candidate. They are going to vote McCain if they don't get their way. They must of enjoyed the last 8 years of the Bush administration that they need another 4-8 years of it. Ya that makes really sense. They are in favor of having higher gas prices, going through forclosure on their homes, and having no health insurance. Come on folks lets get real, the polls may say you are uneducated, but I am know you are not stupid. Then again we all can be naive sometimes. The real reason is that "MOST" Hillary supporters are indeed bigots. These are are the same people who would vote for Hitler if he was running against Obama. I would expect that from Republicans, but not my own Party. You are free to vote for anyone you chose, but you have no right to complain if these problems in this country continue to exist because you voted McCain.

There has to be some reason why Sen. Clinton is still in this race. Don't tell me it's because she believes she can win. I give her more credit than that. She's a smart lady. I believe it's for her own selfish, incredibly narcissistic reasons. She can't accept defeat. Not to a man and especially not to a black man whom she believes "cut in line." I feel her pain. This is one tough pill to swallow.

Hillary is another Huckabee!

good. I don't want her to be VP.

It sickens me and cheapens her campaign when Wolfson includes Michigan & Florida in the 'winning the big states' category. They didn't count – and she agreed to them not counting until she needed them. If Obama hadn't taken his name off the ballot and she had – do you think she'd feel like MI should count then? Rewarding cheaters, twisting rules, and backpedaling to what was agreed to beforehand are just some of the reasons why we don't need her and her surrogates back in the White House. Let's wait and see what kind of leader she'll be when it comes time to unite her supporters behind Obama. Because if she can't get her supporters to follow her lead, how would she have ever gotten the Republicans to push through her agenda?

Quick! Somebody needs to ask Hill how she manages her hair!

go hillary you must win

Clinton is remaining in this race to make sure Obama does not win .

Let be serious Howard ""We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee," . You and I don't even believe that you are going to have your pay check at the end of this month. You are actually kidding yourself.

Now the stage is set for the Democratic Party Bigwig Hacks to find out in November why "Obama can't Fly".
Without the support of the majority of moderate democrats in November his chances are slim indeed.
Every four years the democratic leadership undergoes collective amnesia.......
Then comes the reality check and they lose again.
Crack pot scenarios fly like there's no tomorrow.

WE'LL VOTE MCCAIN AND PROUDLY!

if obama was thrue democrat and he wanted to have strong america and dem party he would be vicepresident to hillary now and become president by a landslide victory in 2016 but his egoistic 57 state strategy is killing chances to dems and making america to vote mccain there are few scenarions , first if obama is nominee mccain will be president and in 2012 hillary , but if hillary is nominee now and obama vp then democtars will have power for 16 years . clinton is winning wtah dem must have in november but obama is one elitist which cares only for himself, i hope superdelegates will se that and nominee clinton for that , i think 68% of them will make that only positive decision and kentucky west virginia will show that hillary is only ehich can make bill clinton map from 1992 and 1996 in 2008 obama can not

If obama's wife wants nothing to do with the clintons I'd agree with her. Having Hillary Clinton on Obama ticket will be going against everything Obama bilieves in. The Clintons belong in the past and we need to open a new chapter. Hillary can start packing her bags. OBAMA 08!!!

Hillary is looking for the holy grail or a unicorn or bigfoot or the loch ness monster or...you getting the picture yet?

She's the joke of 2008. Liar + loser and wife to a serial sleasebag.

20 Million in debt? The CLinton campaign is that much in debt?

And she's supposed to help the economy? How is she supposed to run the country if she can't keep her own campaign out of debt?

If Hillary can stay positive then she should keep campaigning this is good for the Democrats. The Democrats need the Clinton's. But if she goes nuclear it's a disaster.

For all of the Hill supporters who want her to run as an independent. Do you not realize she will have to get that nomination as well due to Ralph?

To Mrs. Clinton after you have stated you can only get the uneducated, I believe in this sense you may be on to something?

It is not over until it is over....Never say die, never say quits...we've been patient for 16months and counting... I think we can afford three more weeks...

It's always interesting to see the Clinton campaign try to use the "Jedi Mind Trick". Except they aren't Jedi.

America will see that there is no act too low for the Clintons in their quest to try to upset the inevitible. America will also see, I hope not too late, that anyone who will misrepresent things or scorch the earth for political gain is not who we want in the White House.

Case in Point: Everyone knows what the "hard working Americans, white Americans" meant. What should America think of someone who would use race to divide us. Weren't the 50's and 60's enough? We have made remarkable strides in becoming one nation. The thought that anyone would try to set us back for political gain is abominable.

Go Hillary...run as an Independent!!!

DNC is screwing the democratic party!!

If not Hillary...then McCain!!

It would not be a wise decision for Senator Obama to offer the VP position to Senator Clinton. There has been too much negativity on the part of Senator Clinton. Senator Clinton said that Senator McCain would be a better candidate than Senator Obama; therefore, I don't see how Senator Obama could offer the VP position to Senator Clinton after such a destructive statement.

Senator Clinton keeps referencing the white vote, as if Senator Obama is not getting the 'white vote.' Senator Obama would not have made it this far if it were not for the white vote. Also, "Senator Clinton is implying that the black vote is not crucial to nominating the President." Moreover, the educated whites who are voting for Senator Obama is just as crucial. Senator Obama has not played the race card, and I admire him even more for not doing so. I have never heard Senator Obama made a statement(s) about Senator Clinton not getting the black vote or the educated white vote. Senator Clinton making such statements, will ultimately cause a division, and we don't need this...

This is really Like Kennedy and how he made Johnson his running mate. Kennedy was a much more liberal person than Johnson was, and he would have never gotten the US into Vietnam. If Johnson was president during the bay of pig's then there would have been a cuban war and the cold war wouldnt be cold anymore. Obama is much more likely to get another liberal democrat like Edwards or Dodd.

If Michelle Obama has made those comments it will definetly come back to haunt them if he is the nominee. As a supporter of Clinton without her on the ticket we will either not vote in November or vote for McCain. Michelle Obama has made many gaffes in this race and is not "First Lady" material unless she corrects her statements. As a white male I have taken offense to remarks that Mrs. Clinton has been "racist" in her citing the AP poll regarding white voters when Obamas camp and CNN commentators speak of the "black vote" at each and every turn. Having worked on Tom Bradleys campaign in the late 80's and a Californian I have first hand recollection of the Bradley effect and without Mrs. Clinton on the ticket the Bradley effect will come into play in November.

I will write in Hillary Clinton in November. I urge all her supporters to do the same. We are capable of winning the presidency in November. We can do it, yes we can. FDR won as a write in and he did not have the internet to help out. Blog it big time... we can do it. The Obama-bots want to call us names, lets show them how much they managed to lose for their guy. They are vile and disgusting and think they are better then all us who support Hillary. They call us low lifes, stupid, hillbillies and everything else they can think of. I say, lets show them a thing or two. Hillary all the way...

and the moon is purple...

I wouldn't want her as his VP; she'll have him killed – like she had Vince Foster and Mike Brown... then again, that may be why she would WANT the Vice Presidency.

The Clinton camp appears to be delusional or in denial with respect to her becoming the nominee. Such a sad spectacle to watch, the clinging desperation for something that is now out of reach.

we think sen. clinton needs to just go away.

Not ready yet to cut a deal with the devil. However it will be done in Denver behind closed doors. So much for a Democratic election within the Democratic party. The politicos will cut a deal to soothe
the Hillary supporters and bring the sheep into the fold.

Same old poltics with a different name. Agenda remains the same.
Turn a Christian Nation into a Secular one.

Happy Mothers Day. God Bless you Hillary for trying to save our country from destroying itself from within.

of course she's not. she's looking to destroy the party.

Hillary's half- well more if you get to count the disenfranchised voters and those who were not able to vote at caucus- will now lose interest in this race.

We already know what we will do in Nov- we will write Hillary Clinton in.

Obama isn't inspiring anyone with an objective and discerning half a brain. McCain will not inspire most of the Hillary supporters either.

We need to unite behind Hillary Clinton.

She'd better take the offer to pay her bills right now. It is amazing how she says she can manage a country, yet she cannot manage her spending...

Hillary doesn't need the "leftovers" She'll do more good in the Senate.
That is, IF she loses, it ain't over till its over..June 3.
Hillary is the BEST! Linda KY

Again, Obama shows his true integrity. Obama could have taken advantage of the suggestion from the press that Clinton wants him to cut down her debt but he didn't. Obama is the type of person we need to lead our country.

Supporting The Democrats All The Way To The Oval Office.

Please end the madness! Sit down in a room together and put all the cards on the table! How do we move forward in the best possible way?

What is the benefit for the Democratic Party to have Clinton beat Obama handily in West Virginia other than to further polarize the current electorate? If she loves the party as much as everyone says she does, why aren't we coming together to try to win in the fall?

It doesn't make sense and although I support Obama, I think that Clinton has a long future in helping move the party forward. If only she would re-focus her energy on what is best for the party.

Once I read that some (circa 3000 people run the world) some of these belong to DNC and his establishment.
They decided long time ago that although HILLARY is the most qualified candidate this never will happening.
Obama and his supporters want to run the time and get the nomination with 48 States or even less and they are the fist to know who the Best is.
HILLARY 08

Obama will need a VP with extensive foreign policy credentials, executive experience, a counter to McCain on immigration & Latino support – in other words, Bill Richardson. The white, blue-collar vote will either go with Barack or McCain, depending on their core values.

Don't make any offers either.

I don't think Senator Clinton would not gain anything in having Senator Obama as her VP. She will select a running mate who will help to unite the party for the GE. against Senator McCain.

I think that clinton is being very selfish I believe the only reason why she won in such large margin in ohio and Penn is because in ohio that was the first of the airing of rev wright the week before the primary there and in penn the same thing I believe that once she leave people will get a clearer view of who Obama is and I do do believe the party will come together but she refused to believe that she lose and she taking the hold party with her

Hillary is the news.

Without her in the race, the democrats lose steam.

The Obama bandwagon gained all the support its ever going to have.

Clinton was the reason we were paying attention at all.

Obama will tank now.

Obama doesn't have the track record to win in November!

Hillary is the candidate with the winning track record and enough supporters across all demographics to win back the White House.

Obama is NOT QUALIFIED and can NEVER beat McCain, especially with over 25% of the Registered Democrats ready to become McCain Democrats!

McCain will enjoy a 60 to 75% national landslide against Obama!

Her $20 million in debt poses a real problem for her when it comes to the issue of financial judgment. We've seen over the last seven years a president take a budget surplus and the potential to pay off debt into record budget deficits and the most debt this country has ever had. I want a candidate that understands the virtue of NOT SPENDING MORE THAN YOU'VE GOT (something everybody in the housing market could benefit from as well). What's she going to do if a tax bill doesn't go through? Spend the money anyways? We've got that already, I don't want it again.

I once dreamed of the dream ticket...

But I am now so disgusted and turned off by Obama and his filthy, lowdown, arrogant, demeaning and hateful campaign that I could not vote the party ticket even with Hill on it.

I will take my chances on writing Hillary Clinton in.

She is so obviously the best choice.

Obama should not pay off her debt or ask her to be his running mate. She will be a drag on the ticket. We need to turn the page. He should be looking at Senator Webb of VA.

I am so sick of you Hillary supporters blaming everyone but their 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'

The race isnt over. Obama's pastor is comming back for revenge. The country will know the real O.B. HRC will keep fighting.If O.B. supporters and Clinton haters keep hating on the Clintons. O.B. will never be elected. Clinton supporters will make sure they vote for McCain.O.B. will never have the votes to win. GO HRC.

Has the Gimmick Candidate announced as of today, all residents of MARS must be counted before the primary season is officially over yet?

Hillary Clinton, the Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family
Do and Say Anything '08 !

She doesn't want to broker a deal with B.O. she wants to destroy him like everyone else on this planet. Please stop trying to make her into a caring person when we all now know she has no soul.

Obama does not need Hillary. Please don't put her on the ticket. Obama stands for change, which America desperately needs. The Clintons stand for corruption and dirty politics. If Hillary were VP they could bump off Obama to move into first place. NO HILLARY!!!

A peaceful ending to a rough campaign season. I love it.

Hopefully, Sen Clinton will follow suit and stop going after Obama during these last weeks of campaigning.

Also, I would love to see her supporters do the right thing and support Obama if he wins the nomination. If we are willing to support her if she wins, the same should go for her supporters.

Let's unite this party and show McCain that we need to take responsible control over this country.

To All Hillary Supporters: Clinton has no experience. If any one in this room can name one positive thing Hilary has Finished!!!!! The people of her district in New York pay some of the highest taxes in the country, and taxes have nothing but gone up in upstate NY..These are blue collar workers..These taxes were raised during her term as NY senator…

I ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE TO VOTE TO LOOK AT HILLIARY'S SO CALLED EXPERIENCE..AND REALIZE ITS NONE EXISTENT..

Obama 08….SAY NO to the same Old Politics…

So, Fran..how's about we call Hil's 2008 campaign the "cut off your noise to spite your face!!!" Once again the "dumbing down" of America!

"Hello, my name is Hillary and I am not the democratic presidential nominee."

"Hello Hillary."

"Welcome Hillary."

"Hi Hillary..."

I would love to hear from anyone who has donated to the Clinton campaign this weekend!

It would be fascinating to hear what they think will happen in the next week with that money.

Obama and Axelrod have run a brilliant campaign. I expect this expertise to continue in the Obama White House.

This is America's chance to finally heal the never-ending racial animosity that has existed since the Civil War. An Obama Presidency will finally signal a new era in American values. He has an honesty and character that is refreshing.

Hillary simply mirrors the old Bush/Cheney politics of division and exclusion, except in a different Party label and gender.

There are many excellent female Democratic leaders emerging, such as Governor Sibelius and Senator Klobuchar. They need to follow Obama's formula.

But she would be happy to offer him the VP slot. Ahahaa. Just kidding people!
Though I have to say who started all this nonsense about Clinton being VP? I was shocked when Bill Schneider (Schnieder?) suggested it at the end of a political ticker piece. I felt it was speculation and irresponsible journalism. There is no basis for that and would hurt both nominees. There are plenty of politicians that appeal to the same camps that Clinton does that haven't been "putting Barack through the paces". Also, gee, do you think it's wise to say I am going against the politics as usual only to have a politico as usual as your running mate? CNN stop these silly unsubstantiated rumors! Shame on you!

So Clinton still thinks she's going to be the nominee? Tell, me this... why should anybody vote for this delusional woman? I think she's "lost her bearings" more than John McCain.
She CANNOT be the running mate... She's absolute poison to the Democratic Party.
When will she finally disappear????

He said we think Clinton will be the nominee !!!!

"We think Senator Clinton is going to be the nominee," Wolfson said.

ARE THESE PEOPLE JUST INSANE NOW?

Gee, America, how is that 200 years after the first President, we now have to see, again, the faces of 2 men running for the Presidency? This will never change as long as corporations such as CNN who are male-dominated and owned retain the power. They spin it, they influence it, they control it. Did you really think they were going to pad Clinton the way they did Obama – Obama-a relative nobody with no appreciable political accomplishments, a person with questionable patriotism, who plagerizes other people's material, can't even put his hand over his heart during the pledge of alligance, has a wife who has disdain for this country, and wraps his arms around a racist pastor? It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that he's male. Clinton's chance were hijacked very early on by all these male media types – remember Chris Matthews' misoginist comments toward Clinton? Jack Cafferty is full of venom for Clinton. This can't all be about Clinton. This is about a powerful female. I said it before and I will say it again, I will not vote for Obama and the Democrats can go screw themselves.

I agree.... Clinton will be the democratic nominee. After the remaing
primaries it shoud become obvious to the superdelgates that she is in a strong position to beat McCain in Nov. She has the experience, especially in international affairs ( McCains strong suit), and experience in fixing this troubled economy. With al die respect, Obama, while a good cadidate, simple does not have enough experience to beat the republicans in a general election. Yes, he does bring alot of excitement and new interests to the party, this is just not his time. He would make a good VP candidate, which would then alow him the time to gain the experience he needs. The Republicans are going to hammer him on his lack of experience, and most voters will end up agreeing that in these times, experience is what matters-especilly internationally

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 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.

I hope that Clinton never has to feel indebted to the great Obama.

Steer clear of his offers if they involve money.

Dirty dirty money.

Don't taint your campaign with the stench of Obama now.

Looking at the issue from Europe, I think Obama (who will win) shall ask Clinton to go on the ticket. A female vise President option will attract even some traditionally rep. woman, besides, americans accepting obama with clinton is more likely than with any other candidate. (race is still an issue in states)

That will allow them both to bring about the change (which is just blabla if you ask me) they have been talking about.

Those who are not from US wants a better stronger US with people who can see more than oil when they look at the rest of the world. Bush was the worst president of US ever...

We will figure out a way to donate to Hillary and pay off those debts. Money is not the reason presidents should be presidents.

We need public financing.

Looks like Obama wants to buy the presidency.

Clinton supporter who will vote for Obama if he is the nominee. I happen to think that a shared ticket will help us get a Democrat in the white house, however I'm a true Democrat all the way. I do not understand how any other Democrat could vote for McCain and more failed Bush policy. DEMOCRATS UNITE FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again." What happened to playing nice?

NO NO NO NO NO NO. After all the rheotic from her campaign and to hear Hillary say only WHITE PEOPLE are hard working. African Americans supported HILLARY AND BILL THROUGHOUT BILL'S deception, then to turn on ALL THE HARD WORKING AMERICANS HURTS AND I FIND IT TO BE VERY OFFENSIVE. WHY HILLARY????????????????????????????????????????????
We were BIIND BUT NOW WE SEE. THANKS HILL & BILL

I might consider voting for Obama...but if a Clinton is anywhere near
I'll go with McCain. How could Obama talk "change" and then take on
one of the filthiest pieces of old politics style gharbage there is? Hillary is an old has been with baggage that stretches from New York
to California to Arkansas. Besides, if Obama selected her he would need a lot more secret service protection to keep him safe from her
and Bill!!!!!!

WHAT'S CLINTON CAMP SMOKING? WHATEVER IT'S GIVE ME SOME. I WILL NOT INHALE

OBAMA 08

Dream on. She will not be nominee, thank God. Obama 08'

With all due respect to Hillary, "you got to know when to fold em."

If she is staying in thinking that she still will be the nominee, then she is delusional. If she is staying in so that she can get exposure and run as an indepedant, then she is handing the Republicans the white house in November. Either way, this lady has lost her sense of purpose which is not a trait we need in a President. Put the country above self and step aside to let the healing begin.

Her campain is $20 million in debt. How would I trust her with the economy?
How would I trust her with Iraq war? She is losing her campain and she is still full speed lying to voters. There is no difference btw her campain and Bush's mission accomplished.

I accept that Obama is the presumptive Democratic candidate. However, I believe Hillary should continue campaigning until every person has had an opportunity to vote. I think the super-delegates need to keep their mouths shut until after EVERY primary has taken place. I think the media needs to go back and take Journalism 101 at the nearest junior college. I think the DNC needs to throw away the rule book and start over. I don’t expect Obama to offer the VP position to Hillary, but if he does, I hope she declines. I don’t want to give ANY Obama supporter the opportunity to say Obama lost because of something Clinton did or did not do. I want him to lose outright—fair and square—by the votes of ordinary Americans. Only then, will the media and Obama’s supporters have to acknowledge that Obama didn’t lose because of race or gender, but because ordinary Americans recognized that pretty speeches and polls can’t hide distrust and inexperience. This campaign was all about timing and stupidity, and those who voted for Obama will find out the significance of both in November. The general election will be about the popular vote of ordinary Americans. I, like many Clinton supporters, plan to write in Clinton’s name on the ballot, or vote for McCain.

Clinton is fighting for the president slot.

Go Clinton!

You know, it's like the saying goes…
"DENIAL AIN'T JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT SISTER!"

OBAMA '08 & '12

Obama Lies... we have all seen it first hand.

PAC money, lobbyists, Big oil- THOSE were his doners.

Do you think that the black equivilent of blue- collar workers- low income, uneducated, rural African Americans funded his campaign?

Fools.

Senator Obama who I feel as do many others will be our Democratic nominee and has the right to choose whom he wants as a running mate.

I also feel the two will work together to defeat the republican niminee.

You dot not sound very knowledgeable and you weren't a true Democrat. You were just a candidate follower that was using the Democratic 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 unnecessary.
Florida and Michigan must not be seated in the convention in Denver, they disqualify themself. Rules are rule and the democratic party must keep it decision or they will have no control over any primary states in the future.
America gives 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 they deserve by the contain of their characters 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 clans of race.
Obama 08!

OBAMA '08, '12!

Hillary Clinton will end up winning the nomination.

Nor should she have any interest and in fact I would hope that she would give the very minimum of support she needs to so that she can stay as far away as possible from the self absorbed trainwreck that is the Obama campaign and by their support, the democrats that support it. He will not be president and only she and her 15 million supporters know it. Ok, and a couple dozen million republicans and more independents and........

Stop trying to buy Clinton's voters by offering to pay off her debt.

Clinton is in debt because, unlike popular mythology, she does NOT represent big business and big doners.

All the gansta criminal elements and big business lobbyists – and their spouses, friends and employers, are in the OBAMA camp- I mean pocket.

OK. But lets face it, why insisting to be compaining if she know already that the chance to win are [none]0. What does she wants, if right now by doing what she is doing diminishes her respect, chances for the party to win in November against McCain?. Why still destroying the party if she knows she cannot win by any Maths formula?

Hillary needs to face reality, and wave good bye now!.

Sorry Hillkubee and Howard the Wolf, but methinks ye both need a good long drink sip of the so-called Obama Kool-Aid...perhaps then the reality of the writing on the wall will finally sink in.

Obama '08~REAL change we can believe in.

Hillary needs to run as an Independent. She's being pushed around by Obama and the super delegates and this is the way to put an end to their bullying. It will put panic in their hearts.

Your people can't be serious. Hillary does still believe that she is going to be the nominee no matter what it takes, including destroying the party. Obama would be a fool to select her as his running mate or to retire her debt. She is doing everything she can to undermine him. If he picks Hillary over the many other qualified VP candidates McCain will surely win in November

Clinton's campaign is $20 million in debt is no miscalculation. Hillary's campaign manager, Wolfson, said her Indiana "win" would bring the money she needed to run her campaign, didn't happen. They aren't saying the same thing about W. Virginia and Kentucky. If one doesn't understand the "math" then certainly you must ask yourself why Hillary isn't getting funded. Hillary is a great First Lady and I respect her for that but some things strangely appear "out of character" for Hillary.

OK. But lets face it, why insisting to be compaining if she know already that the chance to win are [none]0.

Obama is the most dangerous person that has ever run for President in this country. It's so sad the American people are so gullible. Young people vote for him because "he's cool." But they give no thought to the fact that their parents will have to pay for their mistakes through higher (much higher) taxes. This man is not cool. This man steals words and phrases from other people AND movies......this is your time.Negros would vote for a walnut if it was black enough, so you really can't blame them. Rich people don't need a president so they don't care who is elected. It's the rest of you I don't understand. This man is an actor and a liar. His agenda is already in place. Why are you so gullible?

The Obama supporters have disgusted many voters with their hate, vulgarity, nastiness, insults, false accusations of racism, dergatory comments about low imcome voters...etc...etc...

We could NEVER vote for the candidate that can inspire such negativity and can stir up such a frenzy of hate.

Clinton it is.

That's too bad. I would've loved to see the Clintons grovel at the feet of the politician whom they tried fervently to destroy. It would've been as funny as her trying, (and in certain scenarios, suceeding,) in convincing her blindest followers that she still has a shot at the nomination. Perhaps even as funny when Hillary returns to the Senate only to find her credibility, as well as her family's legacy, in tatters. The harder they come, the harder they fall.

Watching the race of the '08 Democratic presidential nomination is like watching the "American Idol". Most qualified does not necessary win the title. The problem is the age of the voters.

Hillary does not seem to be able to do math. Even if she wins all (100%) of the remaining pledged delegates she can not over take Obama. When the "popular vote" is tabulated she needs to include the caucus states. Counting Florida, only her votes in Michigan and leaving out the all the caucus states and she is still not ahead. She is starting to look silly.

I hope he doesn't pay off her debt. I want to donate more to his campaign but I really am afraid to do so if even a penny went to her. She could not manage her campaign going in with a huge lead in money and name recognition. She is still spending at blinding speed and running up more debt. Thank God it looks like she will not be the one in charge of this nation's economy.

Obama has run a campaign of 2 or 3 (if you count Chelsea) against one. Michele has campaigned for Barack but her time was split with caring for their two daughters. Need I say her time on the trail against an Ex-President who was THE democrat of this past decade...well there is no comparison. It was good to see Obama with his family in NC. It energized him. You can tell when he is missing them.

She's still in it because we the people who support her want her to be in it. Women have the right to vote and the right to be in the presidential race. It was dumb of the DNC to schedule races in May and June if they wanted it to end in April. First they exclude FL and MI, now they want to exclude more states. Talk about "stealing" the election.
As the sayings go: winners never quit, politics change overnight, it ain't
over till it's over etc.etc,etc.... Hillary is TOO LEGIT to QUIT! Cross the finish line Hill!
Real Journalist report on the Actual DNC Rules and let the people decide. Think about it.

Has anyone considered the fact that for the last 2 DECADES, this country has been run by 2 families?

Good...obama shouldn't take her as Vice president or payoff her falsely stated so-called debt...it is a lie about loan to her campaign. Totally, Hillary is not trustworthy and very manipulative. So, obama should be very careful until he is nominated...God bless you OBAMA.
OBAMA 2008...!!!

Hillary has the best platform- we can't risk losing the best candidate.

We need to make it happen for our own future.

Obama can't unify the people- heck he is the one that split and divided a once solidly unified party.

McCain is just not as good as Hill, either.

So Hill it is- for America's sake- just write her in.

I deeply hope that Hillary does not end up on the Obama ticket. She is radioactive and really belongs in the Republican Party. Her bigotry and sense of entitlement are not consistent with the values of the Democratic Party.

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…..

Game over Hillary. The fat lady is singing all the way to the Super Delegates. 11 Million of her own money couldn't win/steal it for the Clintons.
She needs to back out gravefully and stop trying to damage Barak Obama. The public has spoken. The States won, the delegates won, the super delegates won, the popular vote won. and NOT ONE OF THESE COUNTS was in the Clinton's favor. What is she thinking?
Michigan and Florida will need to follow the rules just like all of the other States. Michigan didn't even have Barak Obama's name of the Ballot. Florida screws up almost every election we have.
Hillary Get out now!!! Enough already.

You know, it's like the saying goes...
"DENIAL AIN'T JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT SISTER!"

OBAMA '08 & '12

That's all fine with me. Wolfson's game plan is hopeful at best.

I hope that a joint ticket doesn't happen. Hillary are her evil and lying ways will bring him down. I hope he picks Richardson. He can win without Hillary on the ticket and will win without her lying on his honest ticket. We want Obama and we want honest. She is the only one saying he can't win the white vote and CNN is giving her all the press time she wants. For the life of me I can't believe even one person voted for her, but then again she said yesterday that the UN-EDUCATED vote for her. WoW!! And they are so stupid they still support her. She insulted her people and they still want her. That is pretty stupid

Hill will survive.

Many voters who recognize a true leader, have not been deterred by all the nastiness and hatred and have not been swayed by the Hillary bashing.

We will write her in in Nov.

The DMC should pull the plug on Clinton....this is ridiculous.

I promised myself that: if Obama pays her or help her low-road campaign in any form, I will NEVER contribute a penny to Obama’s campaign again.

I am relieved that my contribution to the Obama campaign is not going to pocket of Mark Penn and pay the nasty advertisements against our movement and hope.

Barack Obama, 08/12

It hope this is true Obama!

Don't give Hillary NOTHING but ---- see ya!

I just love this! Obama is going to be our next president!

I'm a Democrat but frustrated.The democratic party will loose this election to themselves. This all because the best candidates to win this elestion were out of the game. If jusl Al gore were running obama would not be forcing the democrat party to risk the election. The real situation is Obama is not electable. Hillary still has some problems runningto but she looks with more chance then Obama.
Sorry by my little mi english.
That's it

Mccain' 08
Clinton' 12

The race isn't over and neither of them should be looking at potential anythings. Although, as a Clinton supporter, I have to hand it to Obama that he has been fairly gracious when it come to the media's persistence in questioning whether or not he will pick her as his vice. Both of them need to focus on the primaries ahead. They shouldn't stop campaigning just because the media has declared a winner in this election. I'm sick of their interference and how there are no real journalists out there anymore. Just people that we hand a mic or give a spot in a paper and allow them to babble their opinions as fact. Let the race run its course. Don't pick my candidate for me. I'm voting on Tuesday in WV and am quite upset over the fact that the media and many Obama supporters have said that WV doesn't really matter. Every vote matters. We're in the land of opportunity. Allow me to have mine.

You lost my vote a long time ago

Should have played fair.

Should not have mocked and jeered and ridiculed your opponent.

Should not have played the race card.

Should have dumped all the hateful, nasty vulgar blogger you hired to contaminate these posts.

How Obama wins older white voters.

In Mr. Obama’s campaign he often touts his upbringing in a poor, single parent household. Yet even with these drawbacks he was able to get an education and make his mother and grandparents proud. This is the real American dream. Most folks know that if they come from a rough start it will be hard for them too. However, in America their kids may have it better off than they did. The argument to older white voters should be that he may seem “elite”, but isn’t that what they want for their kids? Don’t they want their kids to go to a good college and have the ability to plot their own course in their life? Don’t they want their kids to do well in their life and help others? His argument for change is really an argument to make things better for America’s kids. Clean up politics, so our kids can have an honest government. Manage our debt and social security, so our kids can have the economic power to fix the problems of their generation, while not worrying about their retirement security. Rebuild our reputation within the world as a leader of peace and prosperity for everyone so our kids can have a safer world to grow up in.
I often watch Barack speak and think about how proud his family must be for him. Essentially, he could have been my kid. If my kid ran for president, I would want him to hold himself in the same high regard and not stoop to the easy trappings of politics. When I vote for Obama, I’m saying,” Yes, that is what I want my politician to say, and that’s how I want him to say it.”

Why should she do that? She still has the lead in superdelegate. After Tuesday that lead will even big BIGGER! SORRY OBO FANS! I'm sure cnn will not post this ,you know it's TRUE!

There are only a couple weeks to go and it would be silly to make 'overtures' about any kind of VP deal... by either candidate. Maybe mid-June depending on how the various votes line up.

Also, a dream ticket is a good idea on the surface. But if for sake of argument Hillary wanted the VP spot, would she demand the influence of an Al Gore or a Dick Chenney? I dont think she would be happy unless her influence was second only to the president... like Dick.

Although many think Dick is first pulling the strings and George is second

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

Cnn, isn't the fact that Clinton is not doing this a "non news" story? What are you trying to accomplish? What's your agenda on this one?

in behalf of millions of hard working american women i just like to say if Hillary is not on the ticket then we will hand the presidency to republican

Obama is looking for someone to train him to be president since he doesn't have the experience .

Sorry, Hillary is not going to do it , like he did in the debates, he will take the credits for it anyway.

Don't be so confident, McCain is going to win.

To All Hillary Supporters: Clinton has no experience. If any one in this room can name one positive thing Hilary has Finished!!!!! The people of her district in New York pay some of the highest taxes in the country, and taxes have nothing but gone up in upstate NY..These are blue collar workers..These taxes were raised during her term as NY senator...

I ENCOURAGE THE PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE TO VOTE TO LOOK AT HILLIARY'S SO CALLED EXPERIENCE..AND REALIZE ITS NONE EXISTENT..

Obama 08....SAY NO to the same Old Politics...i

Very fair from Axelrod's side.

There are lots of other VP candidates that could help Obama capture the hillbillary vote.

I am glad that like asking George Bush to correct his speeches and
stop making mistakes, it not going to happen.

I think Clinton will go on campaigning for the presidential nomination all the way into the spring of next year. Cannot read the writing on the wall, but then what is surprising about this!!1

Clinton will be fine, who cares.............

Hillary dosen't need anyone to pay her debts nor would she ask or
accept from the Obama people. She is too proud.

And why would she want to be the VP, to someone that is beneath
her.

Hillary Clinton is not the type of person to take a hand out from
anyone, or take a back seat. If she does not get the nomination
she will walk out with dignaty and her hed held high. If Obama dosen't
get the nomination he will go out whining like a baby.

Hillary if your not the nominee, we will all write your name on the
ticket.

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!!!

I agree. Hillary wants Total Power, not the VP. Her devious plan is to trash Obama. Help McBush win. And then run again in 2012.

By him being on fox news ought to tell the voters about what obama is about. i don't trust any democrat that has ties to fox,

GO AWAY, HILLARY.... NO VP FOR HILLARY.... ANYONE BUT HILLARY!

WE WANT CHANGE!!!!

NO MORE CLINTONS; NO MORE BUSHES

At this point everyone should just take what Senator Clinton does at face value and let her finish her campaign in the manner she sees fit. She has, I think, earned that courtesy.

To All Hillary Supporters: This woman,and her staff cannot mange 200 million dollars. Do you seriously trust Clinton to manage a TRILLION dollar debt???

Why is everyone surprised. HRC was in it for herself, not the so called blue collar workers and the feminist who are so deluded to believe she is in it for them...THIS IS WHY SHE IS NOT WINNING AND CANNOT WIN. PREIOD.

I certainly hope there wil be no Obama-Clinton ticket! If we are to get away from politics as usual and the old guard, and enter a new day, a new way of thinking, have hope for and progress toward the future, hopefully, Obama will choose either Bill Richardson or John Edwards. We've had enough of the Clintons in any way, shape or form.

Thankfully, this will all be over very soon, Barack will be the nominee, Hillary will owe her campaign (and, I'm sure, others who cannot afford to have her owing them money), things will be as they should be...Bye-Bye Hillary, you are NOT going to be the nominee, hahahahaha......adios

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!

How can this woman be campaigning on Mother's Day when it is time to DROP OFF!.

Why is she so power HUNGRY. She is campaigning as if she wants to sell the US to somebody!

May be she wants a WHITE HOUSE Wedding for Chelsea? Can that be arranged when Obama occupies the WHITE HOUSE?

Hillary doesn't get that the day of the "back room" days of politics is past. People want honesty, which is something that she is not capable of being. As a woman, I have never been so dissapointed in this womans denigrating the process. No back rrom deals, no VP slot – just go back to the Senate.

HILLARY HILLARY HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
if obama have clinton as a vp then the message of his campaign is nulll its about change not same old politics. she already made it clear on wed what she about. and obama just need to just focus on mccain and hopefully everybody will get a democract in the house.

how many times i have to post to get something said on cnn?

Hillary is in a solution business. she has the soulution to campaign debt. dont worry guys. She is in the race because she wants to raise some money but it is too late for her. she 's got lots of money but she wants to save that and raise money to clear debt.

if obama have clinton as a vp then the message of his campaign is nulll its about change not same old politics. she already made it clear on wed what she about. and obama just need to just focus on mccain and hopefully everybody will get a democract in the house.

I wouldn't let her to take my trash outside, she is a cancer cell and a snake that can cause major damage to Obama and cause him a second term in the white house

GOOD.

Obama doesn't need her and America will be better off without her.

Obama 2008

Good on the Obama campaign. Paying off a formal rivals debt is tantamount to bribery, especially when the majority of the funding for the winner´s campaign comes from individual donations. Obama should not stoop to the level of McCain paying off Giuliani´s debt. That´s for the morally bankrupt Repugnicans to do.

Democrat ´08!

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.
