James Carville is supporting Hillary Clinton's White House bid.

(CNN) - James Carville has been one of Hillary Clinton's most energetic defenders, but on Monday he all but declared Barack Obama will become the Democratic nominee for president.

Speaking to students at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, Carville argued Clinton should stay in through the final nominating contest in early June, but said the Democratic tide appears to be moving in Obama's direction.

"I still hear some dogs barking," Carville said, according to The State newspaper. "I'm for Senator Clinton, but I think the great likelihood is that Obama will be the nominee."

"As soon as I determine when that is, I'll send him a check," he added.

Asked about who might share a ticket with Obama, Carville floated Clinton's name, as well as that of Clinton ally Gen. Wesley Clark. Carville also mentioned Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg as possible running mates, according the Greenville News.

Maria Alvarez   May 13th, 2008 10:48 am ET

I am a european white female and like me in France many people think that a large amount of Hillary supporters are uneducated. So it is easy for her to manipulate them I think that it is time for her to drop out of this race and start helping to unify her party. Hillary's supporters who are claiming they will vote for McCain if she is not the nominee are just helping Republicans to keep things just as they are now, as well the economy, foreign politics, non justified invasion of other countries.... spending billions of dollars in war instead of investing in their own country for education, health care.... SO STOP FIGHTING WITH THE WIND AN SUPPORT BARACK OBAMA I AM SURE THAT HE WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I did not like your politics this year, but this has shown me you are a reasonable man. We will come together and win big in November with everybody playing a critical role in the campaign and in the administration.

JTZeke   May 13th, 2008 10:48 am ET

It's truly unfortunate that Hillary has pushed things as far as she has. She is the poster girl of the "sore loser". She tries to equate running in a state with no one fighting her or running against her as proving that she is the one to beat John McCain. She simply, in her greed for power, has become logically dysfuntional. Does she really believe that she can mislead intelligent people? Not to mention the party hacks and superdelagates?
She doesn't have dogged determination, nor is she a fighter, or even a good campaigner. She is a pushy woman who has learned how to use political power to bull her way to victory on the emotions of millions of women and hard working people that deserve to enable the recapture of the American governmental process, not battle cry their way into a office that she will be the only one to benefit from.
She is the "stereotype" of the politician that we would like to remove from Washington.

When the guards came to arrest Jesus ( after he was betrayed by Judas ), Peter had armed himself with a sword and he dragged it out and cut the ear off of one of the guards.
Jesus rebuked him saying,'Peter, this is not a war of fresh and blood,it is a Spiritual Warfare'
He (Jesus) then picked up the ear from the ground and placed it back on the guard and healed him!
Over to you Carvillle!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will win the primary but not the national election in November.... The Hillary voters will vote for McCain & Obama will go back to the senate with Hillary....

bigben   May 13th, 2008 10:48 am ET

You crazy obama supporters act like Obama is smart enough to fix anything. To me , he is the emperor with no clothes. People are just to scared to tell him . He is naked.

bill   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Hillary has every right to carry on past the Primaries, onto the floor of the convention. Barack should have this primary season sewn up in another week or two. 150 delegates to go and this race is over. Let's take a look and see what this G.E. is going to mean. At least two Supreme Court Justices will be stepping down, Hundreds of federal courts need judges on the benches, We have a two front war, War drums can be heard in the distance for Iran, a brilliant Gas Tax Relief bill to further loot the treasury and cost a few thousand jobs and our infastructure, tax cuts to the corporations that move US jobs overseas, continued tax cuts for big business and the top 4%, a further extention on the suspension of the Bill of Rights, anmesty for the corporations that give your personal information to the government in the name of security, continued hype about the largest government beaurocracy, apparently designed to make you buy lighters (The TSA) trillions of dollars in debt, a continued tarnished image in the world community, and a continuing recession. Go Ahead, vote McSame.

Obama 08

P.A. VOTER   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Dems:
Please be aware that some of the negative comments you read on these blogs are actually Rep trying to divide us. The bottom line is whether you support Obama or Clinton you must support the DEM's nominee in the fall. We can allow MCBUSH to win because if we do then we all lose. So if you support Clinton and it looks like Obama wil be the nominee please please please vote for him. This election is to important to let emotions ruin a chance for the DEMS to take back this country and put it on the right track. WHO'S WITH ME

NIC   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Barack may indeed beat Hillary and get the Democratic nomination, BUT he can't and wont beat John McMain. Barack needs Hillary for those voters. White blue collar workers, older/retired, women that flock to Hillary may split and go McMain. Believe it or not, Barack and Hillary need each other to win. If he doesnt pick her as VP then there is a very good chance of a Dark day in November. Unite the party by pressuring a joint ticket. That's a win win ticket. A ticket that appeals to all of America and all demographics. Barack CAN NOT beat McCain himself, PERIOD! Mark my words, If you dont want another 4 years of Bush policies, pressure a joint ticket Barack/Hillary '08. Thats is a winning ticket. Everyone knows that. The only problem will be to get them both to agree to it.

leon   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

JBY and the rest of OBAMA supporters.

You do not get it yes we still believe that Hillary is a better candidate and will be a better president. You want to play by the rules the reality is that neither candidate will have the needed pledge delegates and the Super delegates the elite of the party will have to decide so as nobody I say it again nobody won the necessary delegates in popular election everything goes that is the reality. And we Hillary's supporters still think that she is a better candidate and will be a better president.

Also you Obama's supporters have been nasty and accused us of so many things playing the same game Obama has played being dishonest and pretending to be a different kind of politician who he is really not and everybody knows that so he is not different from Hillary he is just a politician so all this rethoric about change we know is BS and I will not go to the same level of frustration you guys will go if he is the nominee and elected president.

WE HIllary's supporters do not believe in Obama, did you get it now!!!!

DIGNITY   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

It's clear that the Hillary campaign for president might not clinch the nomination yet I notice that the Obama supporters continue deriding the Clintons with hateful comments and I do not believe these actions, nor gloating over victory, will help unite the Democrats in fact I for one like many of my friends and family will not vote for Obama (RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT). There will be no honeymoon and Hillary should not be blame for it, she is doing the right thing for her supporters and what her supporters want. There is a process and she needs to see it thru.

Helen   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

Did I read that correctly. Mr. Carville, who has been anti-Obama this whole primary season is willing to write him a check.

Please make it payable to: Obama for America just as all my previous donations were made out to. (also send a little Hillary's way. She is reporting $20m in debt which probably equates to $40m)

Thank you...you are welcome here at Obama Central; but know that we have tolerated as much of that mouth as we're willing to take. Mr. Carville come with your mind set on UNITING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

observer   May 13th, 2008 10:47 am ET

How come people keep saying Obama is black. He was born to a White MOTHER and raised by white GRANDPARENTS(that makes him as white as any white) He has odd name etc(your parents name you, just becuase its not convinient you dont change it. If he had changed name people will anyhow put him down saying he is not sure of himself etc.

Please send this message to people who think he is black, and a reason to not to vote. He is as american as we all are.Do you want a better country or a black/white/brown etc.

Neal   May 13th, 2008 10:46 am ET

I agree with Greg from NY. Sebelius, in my opinion, would be the ideal running mate for Barack. To my knowledge, Hillary has succeeded in drawing more female democratic and independent voters from the woodworks than have been seen in previous years. I believe Sebelius would be able to counter much of the stigma attached to Obama throughout this campaign (whether justified or not) amongst, in Hillary's campaign's words, the "white/female voters."

I'm sad that it's come to a likely minimal role in government for Hillary. She has a strong character and the ability to drum up support from various bases. I didn't support her for the Democratic nomination for President but I *did* think she would have made a good choice for majority leader. I'm not sure I believe that anymore...

The best part of this news is that Carville, one of Hillary's staunchest supporters, is showing a willingness to support the Democratic nominee. Let's hope Hillary and Bill do the same if Barack gets the nod.

I like both Hillary and Obama and will vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what. I will not vote against my own interests. So, I will never vote for McCain.

Iam U.   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

I am Hillary follower, but I have to face the truth, I think we are wasting time, money and dividing the party, One my big questions is How come she doesn't have any campaing funds? and Obama does, Does that mean that the supporter are not "supporting"? Is this a clue of what is going on? Who is going to repay her the money that she's lent to campaing? please advise, this is my first time voting(i am just 19 years old) thanks. Iam U.

Alishia   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

Carville has frequently said that if Obama was the nominee, he would support him wholeheartedly. Why? Because Carville is a Democrat. Because Obama and Clinton essentially hold the same views on the issues. Because Carville realizes that Clinton and Obama are both great candidates for the Democratic party.

My question is: why would Clinton supporters deliberately not vote or vote Republican in November just because Obama is the nominee? This is your future, your children's future, that you are playing around with. To vote against Obama out of spite is not good for you, your family, or the country. It's childish and irresponsible.

No Clinton supporter can logically deny that Obama's stand on the issues parallels their own. Look at the issues, be informed, and vote your conscience.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HILLARY SUPPORTERS...

We understand you love your candidate. We love our candidate too, but have you noticed that Obama supporters are level headed for the most part and that a majority of us would vote for Hillary just to make sure the presidency is not occupied by another republican? Are you so ignorant that you cannot see that to vote McCain just because your candidate lost is the height of idiocy and the act of a child? Suck it up and don't destroy America just because your candidate lost. At least Carville, who is a die-hard Hillary supporter, has enough brains to see that. For christ's sake, do the right thing. Hillary can run again, but if the republicans get to stay in the White House, we are doomed. Please stop being ignorant.

Pel   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

I have admired James Carville over the years because of the way he has supported the Clintons who I have supported over the years. He has been been a very good task master for Senator Clinton. I do trust he will do the same for Senator Obama as he has stated.

As the title of his book "Had Enough?" suggest, as DEMOCRATES we must all push forward to defeat Senator John Mc Cain.

Lastly, Senator Obama and Seantor Clintor would make a nice political marriage as PRESIDENT & VICE PRESIDENT

Charlotte   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

I cannot believe the names the Obama-bots are calling the people in West Virginia? I cannot believe the names they call everybody who doesn't think Obama is ready to be President. They are the most rasist of all comments. It is sad to see that racism is alive and well in the USA. Ironically it is in reverse? Write in Hillary in November>

HRC Supprters   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

Please tell me how many times as an Obama supporter I had to hear about being a mindless zombie, drinking kool-aid, obsessed or any other negative, divisive comment. AND THEN DARE TO POINT A FINGER at Obama supporters. Just as many Clinton supporters have been negative.

IN FACT:
I love Bill Clinton, I was 16 when he took office but I voted for him when he ran for reelection, when this all started and Hillary announced she was running, I WAS a Clinton supporter, plus thought it would be awesome for Bill to be back in the White House as the first man.

Then I heard Barack speak and was like wow we have two really interesting candidates. I continued to support HRC, however I Was listening and liking what I was hearing from Mr. Obama as well.

And then IT started getting negative. Not from Obama's campaign, But Hillary's... She became so desperate to win this and be back in the White House, that she completely turned me off to what she was saying, it was no longer about the United States, about my child's future, it was about HER winning.

I voted today. I voted for Barack Obama. He will be our nomination, and I will support him. If it had been hillary, I would have supported her as I am a democrat and they both represent my beliefs however, had she accepted Barack's challenge to not do politics as usual. SHE COULD HAVE WON THIS.

Pat M   May 13th, 2008 10:45 am ET

With someone like Carville for a friend Hillary doesn't need enemies!
I have no respect for Turn Coats regardless of whose side they are on.

I predict if Hillary doesn't win the nomination John McCain will be the next President. Obama WILL NOT win over John McCain. If you think the scandals and dirty politics have been over the top up to now, it is nothing compared to what will be if Obama is the Nominee. Republicans made dirty politics a household name.

And as far as Hillary dropping out of the Campaign – I think it's the reverse – Obama should drop out of the Campaign for the good of the Nation. He doesn't have the political experience, foreign experience, qualifications or capability to govern America. America doesn't need a President in Training given these turbulent, violent, challenging times. But I fear it's too late. The Majority of Americans and the Media are placing Charisma, intriging speeches, and mantras ahead of the pertinent credentials required for President.

Jill:

So now it wouldn't be enough that there is a woman on Obama's ticket; it has to be this woman? Regardless of how much electoral sense another woman makes? It wouldn't be enough to have an African American and a woman running for the most powerful office in the world, setting up potentially 16 years of rule by people from historically underreprestented groups? It just HAS to be your Hillary?

And they call Obama supporters zealots.

You won't be laughing when we'll have to draft your son, daughter or nephew to go fight his war while you stay here penniless, homeless and unemployed. One week the guy said we're not bailing out the housing market and the following week he says he, and I quote "feels our pain". Really now?

To "P Smith" – how can you support a candidate who is repeatedly ranked lower on scales of honest and trustworthiness? How can you support a candidate who has put forth an economic "plan" for a gas tax holiday that is taken from a republican nominee who has admitted he knows nothing about the economy? How can you support a candidate who, in the dying days of her campaign, is now openly appealing to "hard working Americans...white Americans" when her husband was billed "the first black president of the United States"? Why don't you let common sense and integrity prevail over your obvious obsession with race? Your have every right to do with your ballot what you will, but think twice before putting the personal interests of your candidate before the interests of your nation.

Roger   May 13th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Obama isn't going to be president. 50% won't support him. About 30% will vote McCain. Enjoy this time while it lasts.

Roger   May 13th, 2008 10:44 am ET

Jan from Boca Raton, you and the spiteful McCain voters should just
break of from the democratic party and form your own party. If you
are going to vote for McCain, then you are a republican anyhow, so what's
your point? You don't know how those states you pointed out are going to
vote in the fall. You should stop keeping up confusion.

Kathy   May 13th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Last year I moved from Oregon (where they hold a primary to nominate a presidential candidate) to the state of Colorado (where they caucus). And I have to say I'm shocked at how UNDEMOCRATIC the caucus was.

I attend Colorado State University where I live in Fort Collins, and there wasn't any visible effort to organize voters in this city to participate in the caucus.

I had no clue HOW to vote, WHERE to vote, let alone WHEN to vote. I'm an Oregonian — where the state runs the election process and doesn't leave it up to local party members. A small number of people in this state swung the election for Obama.

The fact that Obama is claiming that he WON the state of Colorado — based on the showing in the caucus — is a JOKE. Give me a primary election any day. That's the only FAIR way to conduct an "election".

Obama will be in for a surprise when the people in Colorado — and all the other caucus states — actually have an opportunity to cast a VOTE.

Charlie   May 13th, 2008 10:43 am ET

I hope that Senator Obama will follow his own wise counsel and that he chooses as his running mate someone who is worthy of his preferences.

I cannot think of a more inappropriate running mate than Hillary Clinton, who I think would try to undermine his Administration and whose policy preferences and whose divisive personality would clash with the more civilized tenor of an Obama Administration.

There are many worthy candidates for the office of Vice-President. I am sorry to write that Ms. Clinton is not one of those candidates.

And, were I giving advice, I would suggest not considering recommendations from Mr. Carville.

HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!   May 13th, 2008 10:43 am ET

J. Indiana   May 13th, 2008 10:43 am ET

Don't give up and don't choose a loser like Obama!

Hillary is the only choice the Dems have and to hell with the DNC who are ripping her off by not counting Florida and Michigan. She had no choice like the other candidates but to agree to their foolish scheme back in October to punish these two states just because they moved up their primary dates. Who cares! It didn't matter one bit!

This is unfair to Hillary Clinton and amounts to stealing her nomination from her. No one can say it isn't!

You all keep stating that Obama will not win the general election against McCain. Hmmm....I seem to remember the same thing being said about him securing the Democratic Nomination when he entered the race. You all were wrong then and you are wrong now. Keep your stinking vote. He beat Hillary without your vote and he will beat McCain without your vote!!!!!!!!!! I have plenty of kleenex for you when he is sworn in as President in January.

Even Hillary knows that OBAMA is the nominee.She just want to make history by saying she won the popular vote at the end adding Florida and Michigan votes.Something she knows was disqualified due to the violation of the democratic party by both states.

Michael Tuesday, May 13   May 13th, 2008 10:42 am ET

Mr. Carville show that you are a man of your words, because you know a ripe bana when you see it, you don't need to peel it in order to determine that.

Those of you threatening to vote for McCain, just be honest to yourself, are not a Democrat! We shall see if HRC can ever keep what she said that "I will work my heart out to see a Democrat swear the oat of office as the next President of USA". Hope everyone in the world who is interested in American politics will hold her responsible for that statement, if she doesn't keep it, but respect her if she for once keeps her words!

Danny   May 13th, 2008 10:42 am ET

I like James even though he supports bad politicians. He's very direct and to the point, which is much needed commodity in politics. If HE is saying that Obama will probably win, then for God's sake feminists, start thinking about the general election and how you don't want McCain electing judges to turn over Roe v Wade. It's so ironic that all these feminists are so hardcore for Hillary and say they are going to vote McCain if Obama wins – if this happens all your 'feminist' work will go down the tubes. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING FEMINISTS!

Paul,

Not sure what "rules" your reading, but Hillary certainly could run as an independent, she would just have trouble getting on the ballot in some states.

P in Denver   May 13th, 2008 10:41 am ET

To all the Hillary supporters:

This election has nothing to do with Obama being corrupt or a cheater or making back room deals.

Fact: HRC had no campaign strategy following Super Tuesday, because she felt that it was her birthright to be the next president. That is why she will not be the nomination... IT'S HER OWN FAULT AND NO ONE ELSE'S!

That fact that she didn't have a plan after Super Tuesday just goes to show what arrogance this person has and shows that she would just be more of the same in DC.

So get off your soap boxes HRC supporters, and instead of making your stupid argument that you would rather have 4 more years of Bush (that being McLame) rally around the Dem nominee (Obama) and let's get these Republican neo-cons out of control for good!

anybody but clinton   May 13th, 2008 10:41 am ET

i've never seen so much ignorance in my life. will the hillary supporters please explain on here to everyone how Obama is stealing the election. she mismanaged her campaign from the begining and she's out of money. the only reason she's still in it is so that she can continue to take money from the poor hardworking white uneducated Americans in her broad base. She sold them on the gas tax holiday gimmick (but did nothing at all to even try to get it introduced into congress) and now she wants their money so she could pay herself back the 12 million or more that she loaned herself. She can't get donations after she's out of the race so she needs to stay in for that purpose and that purpose only....yet her uneducated hardworking white Americans think she's in it for them. more the pity.

Any democrat that won't vote for Obama when he wins should be ashamed.

It must be a real struggle to be that ignorant. It's people like those who are the reason Clinton went down in flames, shes ignorant and narrow minded just like you!!

Mr.carville, can now go back to the hole he crawled out of, Sen. Richardson had a right to change his mind without the mud slinging he had the right to endorse Sen. Obama , YOU WERE TOTALLY OUT OF LINE CALLING SENATOR RICHARDSON A JUDAS .AN APOLOGIE IS PROFOUNDLY NECESSARY

Newsalert   May 13th, 2008 10:40 am ET

News alert – WV has 28 delegates – Sen. Obama has picked up 25 super delegates since Tuesday. Even with a sweeping victory 2 nite for Sen. Clinton – nothing changes.

Will somebody PLEEEZE cut this man off? We change the channel every time his tainted eminence shows up. He has no credibility, his marriage is weird, he's over. Get rid of him.

morrow   May 13th, 2008 10:39 am ET

I am a non-party affiliated Clinton supporter, but unlike Carville, I will never send a check to the Obama campaign or the DNC, nor am I likely to vote for him in Nov. I thought fairly highly of him early on, before S. Carolina, but as I watched his campaign it became evident to me that his words have not matched his deeds on many occasions. If he gets the nomination or wins the election, I will have the same sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I did when Bush was chosen by the Supreme Court in 2000.

I do not see any change in Obama. He, like George Bush promises that he is a “uniter, not a divider”, but his campaign has been very divisive. I see the hate filled comments of his extreme left wing supporters & press, such as many hosts (and former hosts such as Randi Rhodes) on Air America, the KOS, & Huffington Post, and see mirror images of the extreme right wing. I do not have any more confidence in the extreme left running the country than the extreme right.

I have not forgotten after New Hampshire, when Obama's campaign co-chair Jesse Jackson Jr. told MSNBC that they had analyzed Hillary’s win in New Hampshire & noticed that after she campaigned so hard and sat and answered questions for a couple of hours in a Town Hall that people started seeing her as a person and voted for her. His campaign has done everything possible since then, with the help of the media to make certain that they and the press feed the caricature of her as divisive and untruthful so people won't see her as a person.

By the way, counter to the demographics, I earned a graduate degree from a top university, posses a genius IQ, make more than 50 K per hear, and believe I have a clear understanding of human nature. And, like Maya Angelou, I see a deep core of honesty, hard work, and integrity in Hillary Clinton that I deeply admire. Hatred, whether from the right or the left, clouds the ability to see the truth (pretty much everyone has good and bad points and is a human being rather than a monster).

I understand that Hillary is not likely to win the nomination, but I also see Obama as being a very risky choice. He may actually try to live up to his promises, but I am very suspicious of his support from the likes of GE owned MSNBC and CNN (the same media who tore down Gore & Kerry and helped promote the war in Iraq). In my impression it is more likely that with Obama we will either end up with more of the same with an ineffectual president where little changes or we will end up with a left wing President and Congress that will drive the country so far the other direction that in four or eight years we will end up with as many repulsed by the direction our country has taken as we have now after eight years of the extreme right wing. I believe that Hillary Clinton has the ideals, talent, grit, and determination to actually make positive change and bring people together (as demonstrated by her 67% re-election victory in New York).

Mike in Columbus   May 13th, 2008 10:39 am ET

H.C. from Houston...

Obama said what? He went to 57 states? Wow, he really is inexperienced. HRC should win. The election should now be about who can remember how many states the US has... and Hillary knows! She should be the winner.

Ignore all the other little things like votes, delegates, super delegates, states won...

Thats all meaningless... Clinton is winning!

HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!   May 13th, 2008 10:39 am ET

I LOVE JAMES CARVILLE, THE SHAME IS THAT IF OBAMA DOES BECOME THE NOMINEE, WE WILL END UP WITH McCAIN!

OBAMA IS NOT TRUSTED ANYMORE, THAT IS WHY HILLARY IS STILL WINNING THE STATES NEEDED TO WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!!!

I AM POSITIVE THAT IF HILLARY GETS THE NOMINATION SHE WOULD WIN!!!!

OBAMA WILL NOT WIN BECAUSE OF ALL THE RACIST AND ELITEST COMMENTS ON HIS AND HIS WIFES PART!
THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER REASONS AS WELL TOO MANY TO LIST!!!!!

I AM STILL BACKING HILLARY AND WILL WRITE HER NAME IN ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER IF SHE IS NOT NOMINATED!!!!!

LOOKING FORWARD TO A WIN TONIGHT! GO HILLARY!!!!!!

Anson From New York City   May 13th, 2008 10:39 am ET

I'd be laughing if West Virginia ends up being a close or the people decide to put Obama on top in the state primary vote. Hey! It can happen :-D

Everyone is starting to lean on Obama's side now except Clinton News N etwork whom will never post my comments. :-D

COMMON SENSE   May 13th, 2008 10:38 am ET

HYPOCRITES!!!! FANATICS!!!! SPAZMANIACS!!!! EVERYONE!!!!

while contemplating Hillary's latest goal post moving – let us seriously consider what she's saying. POPULAR VOTE
she says "LETS COUNT EVERY VOTE"

1) except MI & FL didnt count, yet – lets count their votes in the popular vote totals...and lets consider that Obama received ZERO votes in MI because he was not on the ballot, and a TON of us from mi went out and voted uncommitted for OBAMA – yet, MY VOTE wont count

2) caucus states dont count their votes and include them in the popular vote. mostly, becuase its a delegates race...but since Clinton has changed the rules for winning, we MUST count the votes of caucuses – and if we dont, then WE ARE NOT COUNTING EVERY VOTE

now, i dont want to be the bearer of bad news Clinton fans...but if she is GENIUNE about counting EVERY vote, and NOT JUST HERS...then caucuses will HAVE to count with MI & FL, and since they dont keep track of those votes, we will just have to ESTIMATE based on voter turnout in other states...especially if we are willing to accept the two states who's election was from the beginning not to count AT ALL.

I get that Clinton fans want to cling to any possible hope – but shouldnt we, if we are serious about making this choice right – actually look at all factors, not just the one that happens to help Clintons cause? I would suspect that if roles were reversed, and Obama was trying to claim votes from two states who's elections didnt count – while other states elections did count but not the popular vote...wouldnt this be a false and unfair arguement?

There are far too many people who understand this...and far too many people who refuse to acknowledge it. I respect clinton for keepin on, but the goal post moving is making me wanna puke...as a woman who feels like this happens to me a lot, it saddens me to watch Clinton do exactly this...

There are a bazillion women wishing and hoping for a female president, there are a million minorities wishing and hoping for a minority president, realistically, the two cannot occur the same year...and logically that means SOMEONE loses. why is it that its unacceptable for Hillary to lose...but perfectly fine to discard Obama and his supporters? Im losing faith in my party that we are as good hearted and rational as we've always claimed to be – and our argument that we are the party of ALL people is crumbling under Hillary's last ditch effor to get the nomination. She has clearly drawn her alliance and left the rest of us out in the cold – while Obama brings everyone to the table.

I dont doubt that angry bitter, there i said it, bitter clinton fans will sit home in nov...but they are only hurting themselves...well, thats not true...they are hurting EVERY SINGLE WOMAN in this nation, as most certainly Roe V Wade will be destroyed...but hey, personal glory is far more important than this nation getting back on track.

I pity every single person in this party who only THINKS of themselves...we are no longer the party of all people, just the party of POOR ME's

Nancy, Oklahoma   May 13th, 2008 10:38 am ET

I am only hopeful that all these folks that have been so critical of Obama come out and support their nominee. Ultimately the goal is to elect a DEM not another REPUB. It boggles the mind that some Hill supporters actually state they will vote for McCain instead of Obama. Antics such as those are childish and destructive to say the least. We should unite and bring about change together as a whole and not a divided party. With such divisions in play the REPUBS are guaranteed a third Bush term.

YardoKnowsBest   May 13th, 2008 10:38 am ET

Why did CNN take my comment off after posting it for a few minutes??? Here they are again:

When will James Carville (or more to the point, the Clintons) finally realize that the American public, by and large...don't want to see him showing up in their living rooms acting and even reminding them of an old washed-up grumpy turtle...calling Obama supporter Richardson "Judas", or suggesting that Obama's manhood is eclipsed by Hillary saying "she can give him one stone, and she'll still have more than he".

Another Clinton campaign strategist Paul Begallo acts in the same manner....whenever someone brings up fatcs that suggest his spin of Hillary is off-base, or gives info supporting her opponent....he goes in a direction to verbally fight (in a dirty manner) against the outspoken person. They have a strategy that if they are challenged, they will try to diminsh the character of the person verbally sparring with them so that the fight becomes the issue, confusion reigns....and people will likely forget the challengers points (No matter how valid).

These two "disgustos" embody the Clinton's strategy for winning on any issue confronting them, and I think it's high time that the timid and whimpy superdelagates finally step up to the plate to finally,and once and for all...send the Clintons on their way. We...the American public have seen quite enough of them. They've had way more than their 15 mins deserved share of fame.

Becky   May 13th, 2008 10:38 am ET

It is time for Democrats to unite and James Carville is leading Clinton supporters that way. Thank you.

Mike, NJ   May 13th, 2008 10:38 am ET

For such an intelligent person, it sure took him awhile to realize this one. Good catch Carville.

She should bow out with some dignity, instead of continuing to get beat up. I can't wait to see the headlines and her reaction after she wins WV. She will definatley claim she's back in it, but we all know that to be false. Bye Hillary!

All you Clinton supporters that keep screaming you won't vote for Obama if he is the nominee are just acting like spoiled brats who don't get their way. We've already seen what a republican has done for this country and instead of voting for someone who has some of the similar views of Hillary.... you would put the country at even more risk. I'm an Obama supporter and If he was not going to win (which he is) I would vote for Hillary. I"m not willing to put myself, my children, my family, or this country in any further risk just because I didn't get my way. Please vote and do what is right for us all in the long run. We all need to unite because we are all suffering at the pump and in the grocery store. Let's Do What Is Right For This Country As A Whole. Please don't give this election away to John McCain...This country deserves better. We need Hillary Supporters today; but you might need Obama supporters tomorrow...Let's be smart and beat John McCain...Democrats have the advantage!!!!!!!!

I would never vote for Obama. If Obama is the nominee I will change my party to Republican, I have been a life long Dem, but not anymore. I will be voting for McCain and against any Dem. on the ticket that supported Obama. I live in a swing State.
Obama is nothing but Anti American, Racist, and isn't it so funny, when the whites won't vote for Obama ,we are the racist, what would you call 90% blacks voting for Obama, hmmmmmmm racist.
Obama will lose the general election, like the democrats always do, they put idoits on the ticket and wonder why the Republicans win, STUPID STUPID Dems.

Jeff   May 13th, 2008 10:36 am ET

With all due respect, I could not care less what this talking demi-scrotum thinks. He is yet another Clintonite, prone to deceptive racist statements, and playing low down in the layer below the gutter.

In short, Carville needs to move his ugly head, and body, to the republican party, where he will fit right in.

sue, your comment is about as ignorant as the comment made by the misinformed woman from Fairmont. "Uneducated"? Way to unite the party sue... I have two degrees and prefer Sen. Clinton to Sen. Obama (originally I was an Edwards supporter); how does that fit in to your tidy little analysis? Must people be so hurtful as they support their preferred candidate?

I'm thinking quite a few unflattering things about you right this very moment sue – but in the interests of not feeding the flames of intraparty conflict I think I'll keep them to myself. Best of luck to you and to both Democratic candidates.

carolflowery   May 13th, 2008 10:36 am ET

James Carville has more brains in his left hand, than Obama has in his "right brain" wish he were a republican like his wife, also a very savvy lady. HOwever, what else could he possible say at this point. He
has said this before and that has been on NBC several times and that was even befor the NC and Indiana primaries so dont get all excited just yet. Hillary would still stand high in my book as a great lady, a First Lady, and a possible female President. Im a republican and i just cant see how the hell things have gotten so slanted and so
so bias in the news. Actually, many news centers have called the shots in the campaigner even more so than all the strategist on either side, and for that I do find a huge dissappointment in this entire campaigne on either side

a turnip could beat mccain   May 13th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Florida and Michigan will count but this is a moot point. as far as I can tell, Hillary lost the election when she made it about who can best beat McCain and seating Florida and Michigan. The truth is that a turnip could be McCain.

Obama's supporters voted for him because he is the best person to move the country forward. Hillary's claims that she has a better chance of beating McCain rings hollow, because she has already admitted that Obama could beat him as well. She muddied the water with all the divisiveness she added and made people realize that she is not ready to move the country forward, but only keep us mired in divisiveness. Reminding people of the Florida recount and Al Gore's loss was just more of the same. This was her biggest mistake.

Most people want to move the country forward. This includes most of Hillary's supporters. The small minority of her supporters that say Hillary, McCain, or No-Vote are not representative of a raitional electorate. If Hillary is sincere about uniting the party, then she will help Obama get elected and we will have the change that she could have brought as well, if she had tried a different strategy.

I have the utmost respect for her, but she miscalculated what was important to the American people and the longer she stays in, the more that proves true. She will continue to succeed in fostering negativity and discord. This will make it easier for the remaining superdelagates to vote against her flawed approach to electoral politics.

Mike Hunt   May 13th, 2008 10:35 am ET

Doesn't really matter. Like it or not, McCain will be the next US President.

Obama will be considered the next Dukakais or Mondale.

Jackson   May 13th, 2008 10:35 am ET

You guys do know that voting McCain this year tips the Judicial Branch heavily in the Republicans favor. The judges aren't just around during the presidency; their term is forever. Quit whining and think about the bigger picture.

Reggy Mack   May 13th, 2008 10:35 am ET

There is a lot of people with hate here. Listen Hillary supporters. Hillary is losing badly right now fair and square and that's even if you count FL and Mi. All of the candidates signed the same agreement to not include these states, so what is the problem. Are you people that's complaining not people of your word like Hillary. Why wouldn't Hillary agree with the Mi suggestion of 69/59 for her. She wants it all which is not fair at all. This is the bottom line and we all need to face it without talking a bunch of bull.

Nathan Johnson   May 13th, 2008 10:35 am ET

I love all of these conspiracy theorist who claim that the media, the public, the DNC, and dare I say it...God is against Hillary. Hillary's demise is her own doing. Americans emphatically stated that they would no longer tolerate "politics as usual" and that is exactly the way she campaigned. Tough luck!!!!!

American in Canada,

No one launched an attack on Hillary, except Hillary. She brokered the peace talks in Ireland, she dodged sniper fire in Bosnia, Nafta, money from Columbia etc.etc. She can't open her mouth without lying. Experience? What, living in the white house. Having tea's with the wives in other country's? THAT'S experence? What has she done for NY? According to the blogs, NOTHING !!! She & our "great" govenor, Grandholm are in each other pockets. She is such a fake. Oh, & by her own statements. SHE will get all the uneducated "white" vote's.
Isn't that racist?? I'm not "against" a woman running, but NOT THIS WOMAN. And the officials in MI & Fl sold their states down the river.
They can't break the rules & then try to turn them around. I didn't vote in the primarys because I "knew" my vote wouldn't count. We need to recall our officials not "cheat" to get seated.

Karen in TX   May 13th, 2008 10:34 am ET

I am a Clinton supporter but I will vote for Obama if he's the nominee since the policies are about 95% the same. However, many of the Obama supporters are very disappointing with their continuous attacks on Hillary. You can unite the party while you continue to do that. So use your brain also just like Clinton supporters need to vote for Obama. It works both ways.

CJP, Arkansas   May 13th, 2008 10:34 am ET

The Democratic Party will unite. The Clinton supporters that will not vote for Obama are not looking out for the good of this country. Any way you slice it, McCain WILL be four more years of the Bush policies. As a lifelong Democrat, I cannot see how a true Democrat will vote for McCain. Those that vote for McCain are letting their hurt feelings rule their vote instead of sound judgement. Race is still a big issue for many in this country, and I think that this presidential race has lanced a big wound that this country has yet to face. Yes, there are still some VERY racist people in this country. I am a white woman that work with other whites that say some very racial things under their breath, BUT one would NEVER see them as racist. It is going to take several generations to eliminate such attitudes, if ever.

soothsayer   May 13th, 2008 10:34 am ET

Well it must be so if James Carville says it. right? He has probably been told by the Clinton campaign to come out first and say this. That way it cushions the fall for Hillary. Since people wonder if they can face reality.

I can't believe my people are still outright racist against a person of color. This 2008! It's time to expose those backwood communities into cities with populations of every race in the USA.

As an Obama Supporter, Do you know how many snide little comments I have heard. Everything you claim is happening to poor HRC is unfounded. True Democrats will back their nominee EVEN if it is not their preference because they understand it is for the good of the party for us to UNITE and for the good of the country to get the republicans out of office. A Vote for McCain because you are pouting over HRC, means good-bye to Roe vs. Wade, Hello 100 years of bloodshed in Iraq, Hello War with Iran, Hello Corporations making record profits while the rest of us starve.

More so I have yet to see any actual reasons for not wanting to support Barack other then "I don't like him, I like Hillary", SO PLEASE TELL ME SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL. And if you are going to read off of the GOP lie sheet or from some hate-email, make sure to get it RIGHT! (So far my absolute favorite lie/story, is that Barack is rich, his dad is the King of Nigeria, and that he is a muslim that goes to a christian church to hear hate. LOL).

End the divisiveness. End the hate. Educate yourself and make a knowledgeable decision. Enough of this pouting and threats that you are going to take your vote and go home.

I respect the right of anyone to vote the way they want. I don't like the tone of the comments about Mrs Clinton or about Mr. Obama. Neither one of these people are evil. I can look at Mrs Clinton's record over the last 20+ years and get a pretty good idea of what she has deemed important. Mr. Obama has about 6 years on the National stage. I don't get enough of a picture to even guess what his values are. What people seem to forget is that very few Americans will actually vote for the Presidency. The Electoral College is the real decider of the Presidency. Your Vote is just a wish. Lets hope the Majority gets their wish in November.

Point being all you hear is the Clinton camp saying West Virginia and Kentucky are the turning points for her run to become the nominee but hasnt that been said by her camp about every state that is next to vote sense she is behinde. Also its a clear fact that she wants the DNC to change the roles about Florida and Michigan when those to states broke the rules by moving the primaries up. How many rules would she want changed if she does become the nominee think people just think that sounds like the same under hand dealing from politicians that we have been putting up with for years. So stop look and listen

For everyone on here that say Hillary got the "Shaft", wake up people. Hillary Lost this election because she didn't have a plan past Super Tuesday. She overlooked Obama and thought it would over then. She just needs to face the facts. As for Florida and Michigan, talk to you state representatives, they are the ones who took you vote away from you, not Obama or Hillary. Even with Florida and Michigan Obama is still ahead in the popular vote. Hillary will win WV and Kentucky, but Obama will win South Dakota, Montana, and Oregon.

Stephanie   May 13th, 2008 10:32 am ET

James Carville is absolutely correct. Obama will be the nominee to the detriment of the Democratic Party and this country as a whole. To all the Obama maniacs out there who are blind, at best, but more likely stupid, I can only say I hope you do not need a president for the next four years because you will be looking at McBush and the same old failed policies. There is no way in hell Obama is going to be elected President. Just remember, you heard it here first.

'bout time Mr. Carville gets it through his cleanly shaved noggin that math is math is math. is math. Math. math don't lie y'all. Maybe he should fill in ol' Hillary on what's up too. It's quaint that she's going to ride it out until all the contests are finished, but you know, I've grown extremely tired of the Hillary tools claiming Obama has something to do with Mich/Fla not being counted. That's just plain wrong. She and her tools had better not blow November for Obama (like that's even possible).

David   May 13th, 2008 10:32 am ET

More cries of misogny because Hillary wont win...put a woman who isn't a snaketooth liar and flat out Bit...(u know) and maybe shell have a shot.. True Democrats would never vote for someone like McCain just because theyre crybabies and their nominee lost the primary. Write HRC on the ballot? Sure, throw your vote away and complain later when McCain sends your children to war.. AT least we didnt get Obama! HAHA! CAPS LOCKS AND !!!! MAKE ME RIGHT

Michele   May 13th, 2008 10:32 am ET

If you are a true Democrat, you will vote for your Democratic nominee whoever he or she may be. It may be hard, but you will do it. If you jump sides and vote for McCain, we don't want you anyway. True Democrats will unite and rally around our nominee to carry them to the White House in January. I am ready to see the Bushes back to Crawford, Texas as soon as possible.

Clinton Wins   May 13th, 2008 10:32 am ET

Senator Hillary Clinton will be President of the United states – elected in either 2008 or in 2012 when Senator McCan decides not to run a second term. The good people of the United States will never put an inexperienced person – whether he be white, black, or both – into the Oval office. Senator Obama is uniquely unqualified for the office. Sooner or later voters will wake up and realizes they do not need a talking head in the White House who has no clue how to run a country.

Ivar   May 13th, 2008 10:31 am ET

I just cant understand how can hillary backers still support her and call themselves democrats. The rules of the game were simple and decided long before the voiting started.

1) Winner needs the magic number of 2025. Not poular votes or stupidity
2) Florida and Michigan would not be in the equation

At the time no one protested and suddenly when the The eyesore (Clinton) started to loose all things suddenly mattered. Why on earth is she in the democratic party when she cant even follow their rules.

Heck if Obama even consider her having on his ticket i will vote republican

DIGNITY   May 13th, 2008 10:31 am ET

It's clear that the Hillary campaign for president might not clinch the nomination yet I notice that the Obama supporters continue deriding the Clintons with hatefull coments and I do not believe these actions, nor gloating over victory, will help unite the Democrats in fact I for one like many of my friends and family will not vote for Obama (RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT). there will be no honeymoon and Hillary should not be blame for it, she is doing the right thing for her supporters and what her supporters want. There is a process and she needs to see it thru.

Steve   May 13th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Somebody mentioned that the Clinton machine was going through the grieving process. We should allow them this so they can heal.

It goes something like this;

1. Denial (this is what we are experiencing now)
2. Bargaining (will ask Obama to help them out of debt)
3. Depression (Hillary will start drinking and using sedatives)
4. Anger (Bill will lash out at Americans)
5. Acceptance (Hillary in rehab, Bill quits public speaking & Chelsea runs for Senate)

The process then starts over again!

Tyrone Brown   May 13th, 2008 10:31 am ET

Both Carville and Stephanopoulus, the two men most responsible for Bill Clinton's win in 1992, have all but declared that Obama has the nomination. If this is not a clear sign that the Clinton campaign should gracefully concede, I don't know what is.

Why would anyone support a candidate who (1) underestimated her opponent for President (can we trust her judgment with a foreign entity)? (2) Only budgeted her campaign through Super Tuesday (what Ph.D on her staff gave her that advice)? (3) Totally ignored the "little States." And (4) said in her own words that FL and MI will NOT count. Those of you who say you will not vote for Mr. Obama - you will only be doing yourselves a disservice. John McCain will continue the Bush legacy - the war will rage on and more and more of our young men and women will be killed; he will stack the Court with uber-conservative Justices, thus, putting Roe v. Wade at risk - need I say more!

Mike in Columbus   May 13th, 2008 10:30 am ET

The majority of Clinton supporters will support Obama in November…

Some will not, but I think most realize the stakes, and put that above sour grapes and petty jealousy.

However, most of the folks who keep repeating they won't support Obama on this blog will probably stick to their word.
They can congratulate themselves if Obama loses, and smirk for a bit. They can also pat themselves on the back when the
US troop casualty count comes in each month, and feel proud they help perpetuate that. They can smile to themselves as
the dollar continues to weaken and friends and family can't find blue collar jobs in America, and know they had a hand
it that too. As more conservative judges are appointed to the supreme court, they can laugh to themselves and say "yeah,
but we sure taught the DNC a leason, didn't we?"

So be proud Obama haters, you are the true Americans aren't you?

Marge Hibbing Mn   May 13th, 2008 10:30 am ET

All we heard from the Democrats when bush was appointed president in 2000,,,GORE WON THE POPULAR VOTE AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT. The electoral college has to go.

WELL, since Hillary has won the popular vote and obama got the electoral votes, and from the mostly republican black states. Why isn't the press and the other democrats clamoring for HER TO WIN THE NOMINATION.

I suppose it depends on who gets the most popular votes. If you want a certain person to win, you ignore that fact. But if you want another person to win you clamor for the opposite.

It is a shame that the DNC and the good old boys pushed this country into another republican president, because when obama is appointed OVER THE POPULAR VOTE......he will get his butt tore up by McCain.

JoshMD   May 13th, 2008 10:30 am ET

Hillary did not win the popular vote... Caucuses are not included in the count. There is no reasonable way to accurately count the popular vote.

People, learn how to read before you quote an obscure quote from a politician or the media. They spin issues in a way to benefit themselves.

At least he now appears to be frank! No more spins for the pathological liars who continue to cheat voters in WV, KY and you have to ask: for what? The most blatant method is Bill telling voters to turn off TV. Wow! This can only happen in communist countries or dictatorship where voters only need to listen to one voice of the dictator like sheep. When they lie throughout the elections, past and present, they think they can fool voters all the time but then came along Obama, people have a real choice, not business as usual for the Clintons.

Hey Alexis, go away – the people who voted in Florida and Michigan shouldn't be punished so you don't make a good point. It is beyond me why the Democratic Committee would punish their own candidates just because they wanted an early primary. Nothing about the rules for the democrats makes any sense – if they just did what the Republicans did "winner take all" – we wouldn't be having this conversation because Hillary would have won in 2007 – but noooo. The democrats are the only ones breaking up the democratic party – no one else.

you would write in Hillary's name as if that would help the economy or BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. the very soliders that are making it possible for you and your candidate to spew those ridiculous scenarios of Hillary's "momentum, even though there is no way to fix the math to give her a win.

you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. you are bitter and will be as responsible as George w for the soliders that are dead and injured because of this illegal war.

For the Hillary supporters that sees reason and looks at the bigger picture, I respect and applaud your patriotism. thank you for your greater concern for our troops and this country than your own feelings

*******************************************

I SEE IGNORANCE IS BLISS. CLINTON WANTS TO BRING HOME THE SOLDIERS IN IRAQ, UNLIKE YOUR BARACK.

CLINTON MAY NOT WIN THE NOMINATION BECAUSE OF THE BROKERS ELECTION EVEN BEFORE THE PRIMARIES STARTED AND THAT FACT WILL BE CORRECTED COME THIS NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION.

NOW IT WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA IF YOU, COME NOVEMBER WRITE IN H.R. CLINTON FOR PRESDIENT, BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT THE ECONOMY, HEALTH, EDUCATION, THE WAR AND MANY OTHER GREAT POLICIES THAT CLINTON HAS PUT IN PLACE..

SHE WILL BE THE BEST PRESDIENT, IN THIS TIME AND IN THE ELECTION....

Randy - Denver   May 13th, 2008 10:29 am ET

She needs to stay through the end of the selection cycle and then concede. I suspect this is her plan. She can then say, with all truthfulness that the people ahve spoken, that it was close but that he has won. The last seleection will be in June and so the DNC will already have ruled on FL and MI satisfying those whining cheaters and disenfranchising those who did not vote in those states, who followed the rules, and setting the DNC up for future problems from whiners and cheaters. that being said I think she will make a GREAT keynote speaker.. now if only her followers would be as mature as she is.

Thank you Ms. Clinton for a well run race and doing the right thing!

Landslide Obama!

Ro   May 13th, 2008 10:28 am ET

I would really like a Clinton supporter to detail just how this nomination was 'stolen' from her. Without blaming the FL & MI problem on Obama. Just because more people have voted for Obama than Clinton, doesn't mean anything was 'stolen'.....it just means that the people have spoken, and more people wanted Obama.

Y'all need to let it go and accept your defeat.

Debby   May 13th, 2008 10:27 am ET

Were has Carville been of course Obama is the winner. Its how he won that is sickening. If the Wright issue came out before Iowa you would still be sending those checks to Hillary. Can you imagine a Dem. nominee that touts experience in foreign policy and he hasn't even been to Iraq.

Yankee Dog   May 13th, 2008 10:27 am ET

James Carville ran a brilliant campaign for BC in 92, but that was then and this is now. Frankly, I question his real motives in politics and found his remarks on Bill Richardson discusting. I also have difficulty with his marriage to one of the worst neocon appologists of all times! Love conquers all, but please - Mary Matlin! Oh well. Let him send a check to Obama, then go quietly in the night..... He bet on the wrong horse.

to those who say that you willv ote for John McCain because Hillary didn't get the nomination are idiots. Why would you shoot your ownselves in the foot? You say Obama has no experience, but look at what eight years of "experience" has got you. Economy is in the slums, gasoline higher than ever, people cannot afford healthcare, crime is at an all time high, morals have gone out the window, the rich get richer, and the democrats vote for McCain. Wow. I would vote for a talking parrot before I ever vote another republican in office. If McCain does win this nomination because of the democrats, we'll be a third world country soon. Democrats, get over your childish behavior and vote for Obama so that this nation can be united.

Anna   May 13th, 2008 10:26 am ET

Hillary can run as an independent but unless she does something about her finances she just won't have a chance. it will be lose-lose for everyone.
She has to pay off her debt first, then try to take away financial backing from the democratic party. That may be very difficult to do considering Obama has played a fair game and has gained respect and backing.

Carville is a democrat and he sees where he needs to be as a democrat, supporting the democratic nominee.

Wayne, Greenville TX   May 13th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Wesley Clark would make an excellent VP. He is well-respected across the political spectrum, and his military experience and knowledge base will counter all the GOP complaints about Barack's "inexperience".

Or this one:
At least he's one of Hillary's energetic supporters that has some sense!

I say you can go take the nomination and have a great time with it. hen november shows up and you're complaining because your candidate doesn't get elected. Not because of Hillary but because of YOU. You are the ones that turned us off of Obama. You are the ones that insulted us over and over and over until we said, Ok, I wont loose sleep at night voting for McCain (or just not voting).

So don't go around complaining when Obama looses the election, just take it as a lesson in short-sightedness.

GCG - Austin, TX   May 13th, 2008 10:25 am ET

I think this took a lot of courage to say, and I especially like how he's making the "unity" argument by pledging to put his money where his mouth is. This sends a very strong message to all Clinton supporters that party unity is the most important thing we need to have right now.

This has been a hard fought primary, one of the longest and most interesting in my 35+ years of following politics. But now is the time (well, in about three weeks) to start the healing process and come together because the Supreme Court nominations, the War in Iraq, the veterans situation, the ECONOMY, the health care, the green house emissions, these are all incredibly important issues and cannot be trusted to the Republicans anymore. They have failed us as a people and a party.

gypsycam   May 13th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Ron Larson   May 13th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Wow! even the President of the Clinton Kool-Aid Club sees the obvious. One wonders how corrupt and deluded on e man must be to continue to uphold Bill and Hilalry as some sort of icon to this nation. No matter what scandal, lie, "crisis" these tow CREATE, he has been right there as the Standard Bearer. Hopefully, the Obama Camp will distance themselves from these two once and for all. The heart of Obama's support, taht being the younger generation of voters are making it clear that they do NOT want the Clinton's in any Executive level postion. I f he chooses here as a running mate, he will setroy everything he has postured himself as.

what we are watching is the democrats about to lose an election that was a slam dunk only a year ago. Here you are crowning a candidate as the winner, yet watch tonights election results. If Obama is such a winner why can't he even get close in West Virginia? Because many that have already voted wish they could take their votes back. And you folks that said Florida and Michigan broke some rules. Well I didn't break any rules... Why did your candidate work so hard to make sure that my vote wasn't counted?? That is not how democracy works....
I will write in Hillary or vote McCain. Obama does not deserve to be in the White House after his corrupt campaign. If this is what you call change, then we don't need that kind of change for our country.

It´s really sad. Hillary would make a great president, she could really institute the change that everyone else just talks about. I can´t understand why people can´t see that, especially if they followed the earlier debates that highlighted her experience and made Obama look like an amateur. I really don´t believe she should go on the ticket for Vice. If McCain wins, like I project he will, look for Hillary in 4 years to fix the country. On so many levels, too bad for us she might not get the chance this time around.

There starting to be alot of Clinton supporters switching to Obama for the sake of the democratic party, there's no hope for Clinton they might resit the delegates of Florida but Michagan would have to vote again because Obama wasnt on the ballot an he mostly likley will win Michagan the demographics favor him [thats if they consider MI & FL] which I think they want so Clinton suppoters saying the will vote for Mccain over Obama if Obama is nomineee you voices will note be heard the young voters, African American voters, well-educated white voters will overide your voice. Not all hard working whites support that ideal in the end Obama will be the next president. He is compared to John Kennedy I've never voted before Im 25 an African American I live in the poor section of my city I've register to vote an been speaking to all my brothers an sisters in the streets those that are eligble to vote need to register we've made this a priority. There's excitement were register people left an right. Dont let those polls fool you theres a lot of people for Obama that cant be heard now but in November you will here of the biggest Demorcatic turnout of young people an African Americans people period.

They've admitted themselves on several occasions that they are very similar on the majority of issues. The one big issue that they differed on was the gas tax holiday. 230 economics signed a letter statting how silly the idea was. Saying you won't vote for him because bloogers that support him are mean, she abided by the rules witl MI & FL, etc are just plain dumb.

very immature/childish behavior coming from the Clinton supporters ...

simone from Michigan   May 13th, 2008 10:21 am ET

You Obama supporters may have gotten your wishes with Barack closing in on the democratic nomination. But enjoy this while you can, the man will not win the GE.

Hillary had the better political record and backbone to become President. It's sad that yet another election year will be filled with power hungry men.

mary nagata   May 13th, 2008 10:21 am ET

I can't beleive this! we are still arguing about michigan and florida!!! Last time I checked the news this morning, Obama was supporting the proposal submitted by MI DNC to seat michigan delegates and it's the Clintons who are opposing it! How come CNN doesn't even cover it? and some of the ignorant Clinton supporters are reversing the blame 180o to Obama!

If Obama can come from no where and beat the Clintons Machine, he can certainly beat John McCain.

All of you that think you can win a nomination by writing in a candidtate's name are OUT OF YOUR MINDS.

It absolutely cannot happen. Never. Never ever. If she can't win the nomination you think you can organize enough people for her to WIN the general? With her supporting Barack?

OUT OF YOUR MINDS. Sorry you're so mad she didn't get the nomination, but even Carville is going to support Barack. Grow up and get the Democratic nominee elected.

JC   May 13th, 2008 10:20 am ET

Tracy   May 13th, 2008 10:19 am ET

I am with most people when I say that it is time for the Democrats to unite against McCain in the fall. Most of what I think has already been stated so I won't belabor the point.

However, one piece of election law needs to be put out there for those who are beginning a campaign for Hillary as a write-in candidate. According to US election law, anyone who wins a write-in vote that HAS NOT declared their intention to run as a write-in candidate WILL NOT WIN. So, if Hillary does not declare her intention to run for the presidency as a write-in candidate, all of your votes will be WASTED.

Just a thought. However, since it makes sense, is based on fact and not fear, does not "fire" up people's emotions or cause further divisions within the Democratic race, CNN will not post it. I know: your comment is awaiting moderation.

Joe, Maine   May 13th, 2008 10:19 am ET

Kaye Martin   May 13th, 2008 10:19 am ET

So glad to hear. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to "bring the party together". Whatever differences we may have between us as Democrats, those differences pale in comparison to differences with the Republicans.

hillary supporters are you proud of yourselves?
you would write in Hillary's name as if that would help the economy or BRING OUR TROOPS HOME. the very soliders that are making it possible for you and your candidate to spew those ridiculous scenarios of Hillary's "momentum, even though there is no way to fix the math to give her a win.

you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. you are bitter and will be as responsible as George w for the soliders that are dead and injured because of this illegal war.

For the Hillary supporters that sees reason and looks at the bigger picture, I respect and applaud your patriotism. thank you for your greater concern for our troops and this country than your own feelings

If Carville has taken time out of his busy schedule at the Crypt Keeper to say that Obama will trounce Hillary, then it must be gospel. Now, if only Hillary would go quietly back to her own crypt, we'd all sleep a lot sounder.

Dominique   May 13th, 2008 10:18 am ET

This is not surprising. Carville sees the political reality. I do wish folks would stop floating Clinton as a potential VP. Although their policy positions are similiar, their views on politics and campaigning are polar opposites. The quickest way for Obama to lose a lot of support is to add Clinton to his ticket. Sebelius or Webb would be better choices.

Bob Mold   May 13th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Honestly, you Dems have no idea how foolish you are. Obama got all these votes in the primary/caucases BEFORE the world knew about Rezko and The Reverend Wright connection. They will not support him now - guaranteed. He isn't the right choice. He will not beat McCain. Plus, 50% of Clinton voters are polling that they will not vote for him and will vote for McCain as well.

You're ruining your chances again based on poor decisions, which is exactly why I will vote Republican. Because the Dems just don't have it together.

Lisa in Canada   May 13th, 2008 10:17 am ET

HRC's campaign was not on the right track. She has turned many white voters away from Obama. She used the race issue to divide the Democrats. She is using her awful mind to do awful things. Even in Canada we all respected the Clinton family even though they went through their rough times. Now I and most other people are seeing the true colors of the Clinton household. Therefore, I'm glad Obama made it this far, he has been through so much to get this far and I respect everyone who has helped him reach this far to unite the World not only America.

Thanks

Anne   May 13th, 2008 10:17 am ET

Am I missing something? Did Obama reach the 2,025 delegate count and I missed it? Carville is just being pragmatic. He knows Obama is a nitwit.

Although aligned with neither party, I applaud those Democrats who are breaking ranks to support Sen. McCain. The welfare of our country is too important to place in the hands of an unknown, inexperienced, untested, unproven presidential hopeful with questionable judgment. I understand that the American people are anxious for change, and that we tend to blame the president and his party, but, nonetheless, I ask you to consider John McCain. By his own admission an imperfect servant, but I trust him to lead our country. And I do have to take his word for it, his sacrifices speak loudly enough for me.

The Founders would be screaming from the rooftops over the theft of 2 States. This looks like dirty politics. I say Hillary go Independent, & grab the Repub votes. Looks like BHO is trying for that with Bloomberg. The only thing is Hillary will be the dem nom. Or the Independent Prez. I am a lifelong dem, but I am going Independent after this dirty primary, rife with misogynists that are tolerated and supported by the msm. Especially MSNBC = MiSogyNist Steroid Boy's Club.

I will write in Hillary in November. I cannot vote for Obama, mostly because of his bloggers who spew hate and racism. If he appeals to those kind of people, I sure don't want him as president. I don't want to vote for McCain either so that leaves me but one choice...Write in Hillary..

Joyce in Florida   May 13th, 2008 10:14 am ET

The contests are not over yet. Carville should still show his full support for Hillary. Write a check for Obama? How about writing a check to Hillary's campaign NOW if you want to give money away. Hillary could still become the nominee. There are still a lot of voters out there who support her. Time will tell. I am not giving up on her and neither should Carville. Maybe Obama is promising him something? Hmmmmmm. Let's wait until all primaries are over and then see where the superdelegates go. STILL FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anita - Wisconsin   May 13th, 2008 10:14 am ET

-He will bleed our defecit

-He will be exactly what George Bush was.

VOTE WITH YOU MIND, NOT YOUR HEART.

Unfortunately, after 8 years of polarizing government we must unite.

REMEMBER PEOPLE: if McCain wins, he will not be able to do much because he would be president in a democratic run senate and congress. This is not a poplarity contest. UNITE. Think People. Think!!!

Obama can not carry a general election, he will lose the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and West Virginia. He will quite probably lose New York and Arkansas where Hillary voters will not turn out for him. Love to see the Dems get the White House back, but it's not going to happen, three Presidential elections squandered by leftists wackos of our party!

Deb.   May 13th, 2008 10:13 am ET

How can anyone with the Obama New Politics mantle even think of picking a VP with ties to old political families? Sebelius comes from a political family in Ohio where her father, Gilligan, was a one term governor who, granted, most people have never heard of, but I thought the idea was to eschew the old guard and bring on the new. In addition,if you select someone like Hagel (who voted for the War like Hillary) or Strickland or Rendell what does that say? The last two are still HRC supporters and wouldn't they then, by extension, show the same bad judgment she did?

Frank   May 13th, 2008 10:12 am ET

Politicians are very adept at putting on a smile and acting like they are best friends. That ability doesn't come so easily for their supporters.

I have watched the venomous exchange between Hillary and Obama supporters from the beginning. As a registered Republican who has voted Democrat during the last 4 elections, I wonder whether the Democrats can begin putting aside their differences to unite against the Republicans.

It seems clear that the Hillary campaign for president is over yet I notice that the Obama supporters continue deriding the Clintons. I do not believe these actions, nor gloating over victory, will help unite the Democrats.

Good luck, U.S.A.

Jay   May 13th, 2008 10:11 am ET

Alex Richards   May 13th, 2008 10:11 am ET

I say keep fighting Clinton. All citizens should have a right to vote. I think it exposes the weaknesses of Obama's campaign in many key states. He should be paying close attention. I used to loathe Hillary, but through all of this, I have gained respect for her. Because she is a fighter and will not back down. I admire that quality. She has every right to stay in the race. Its what our country was founded on, our rights.

There's a lot of alternatives out there that quietly and competently go about their business.

No Obama   May 13th, 2008 10:08 am ET

I definitely am not sending him anything if he is the nominee. The only reason Carville says this is because it seems that the US has gone whacky and due to reasons beyond anyone's control (Obama's huge campaign financing for one), he just MIGHT be the nominee. If he is, I quit voting.

Thank you Mr. Carville   May 13th, 2008 10:08 am ET

I am thrilled Mr. Carville has checkbook poised to join the 1.5 million of us who have donated already to Senator Obama's campaign. Thank you, it takes a big man to face up the facts this way and so positively.

I have been looking forward all along to having James Carville back on our side but thought the "Judas" comment meant he was so attached to the Clintons that he would break from the party if Obama won. I am so happy to learn I was mistaken.

Although I would gently suggest that calling a fellow Democrat Judas is probably something to avoid in the future (just a thought), I say welcome back with open arms. We love you, James.

Marie   May 13th, 2008 10:07 am ET

For the first time, I agree with James. I think Obama will win. Unfortunately, Senator Clinton will do great harm to the Democratic Party before she goes. She is injecting race into the match. Her comment about hard-working Americans and then clarifying it by hard-working white Americans. Her comments over and over again in West Virginia about hard-working Americans when she knows that State is mostly white. She claims that Obama only appeals to a small minority. She only appeals to hard-working white women. The only time she wins by a landslide is when the State is mostly white voters. I am a white woman and I will never vote for her.

Will   May 13th, 2008 10:06 am ET

There was nothing corrupt about the primary. Hillary just lost- time to get over it

Glad Carville will be working to re-unite the party. This is excellent to hear. Any voters who do not do so are likely just racists

Confused Dem   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

In the Fall I will vote for the Dem. Nom.
I truly like both candidates.

In a non-attacking way, straight forward way, I would like a Hilary supporter to explain how she can claim the popular vote without counting the caucus states. I believe thast all voices should even those in Fl and MI in the poular vote, but how can we look at the popular vote as a fair barometer, when it does not include the caucus states? I would just like to understand the logic.

I know this question has been posed but I have not seen it answered.

EC   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

OH MY GOD!!!! Say it isn't so...

JAME CARVILLE stating the obvious after all his blistering attacks on Sen. Obama!!!

AFTER all his "judas" comments and his rantings and ravings about Sen. Clinton being the nominee!! What a selfish hypocrite!! He DID NOT have to get ugly with his comments about Gov. Richardson and he didn't have to come off so ANGRY because NOW it's coming back to BITE him in his own behind. He's having to NOW eat his own words and save his own behind in the process.

I imagine Pat Buchanan will be the next to EAT CROW. Pat Buchanan is nothing but an OLD FART who is just so bitter than his own party did NOT vote him President. Funny that? I cringe every time I think of Pat Buchanan as President. Ugh...

Shawna   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

The way the clinton campaign has consistently turned this nomination cycle into a racially charge debate sickens me. She would get my vote even if Obama choice to make her the V.P., I'd skip that entire ticket.

Well thank you Judas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a 50 something, white, college educated female and will not support ANY ticket with a Clinton or Bloomberg on it. Both are "my way or the highway" types. Not the kind of people who play well with others. We need someone willing to LISTEN and try to understand anothers point of view. Someone willing to make concessions when necessary for the good of all not just themselves. I am and have been a supporter of Obama and will continue to support him as long as he stays away from the 2 snakes I listed above.

Ding   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

Thanks Carville..because by and by CLINTON IS MAKING HER SUPPORTERS CHANGE THEIR PARTY AND LET THE COUNTRY GO TO HELL ONLY BECAUSE SHE CANNOT WIN !! eventhough there is a another (better) fellow dem who holds her own principles! Hilary fans be wise!!

Michelle, Baltimore   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

I am very proud of James Carville for stating the obvious. He has even pledged his support for Senator Obama. My only hope is that Senator Clinton will be just as gracious when she finally concedes the race.

Jan, Knoxville, TN   May 13th, 2008 10:05 am ET

James, the result shows what running a fair, uplifting, and honest campaign will do for a candidate. That is why Barack Obama has won it. Rove style politics are dead in this country.

HILLARY 08

Tired of W, OH   May 13th, 2008 10:04 am ET

One of the few honest comments I've heard from Carville during this campaign. It certainly seems like the Clinton camp is trying to position her for the VP slot. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I think all of the names that Carville floated would bring something positive to the ticket. Sebelius might be a good choice to try to bring in some the Clinton supporters that desperately want to see a woman in office, but I'm not sure if she has the name recognition and experience.

If Clinton hadn't turned so nasty during the campaign, she'd be a perfect running mate: Female, white, good name recognition, and a little bit of experience. Similar to Obama on the issues, but enough contrasts to appeal to a wider demographic.

This will be a tough decision for Obama.

K   May 13th, 2008 10:04 am ET

"So even WITH the Florida vote and the Michigan vote where Obama wasn't even on the ballot, the vote is:

Obama: 16,579,735
Clinton: 16,466,237

I'd say that's over 16 million people that you Obamaniacs need not to make angry with your vicious attacks on Hillary. She has a right to go through all the primaries so get over it.

Kris from AZ   May 13th, 2008 10:04 am ET

He actually got somthing right. wow

fred   May 13th, 2008 10:03 am ET

I wouldn't send Obama a dime...he isn't going to win in November...

Stay in until the convention Hillary!!

Write in Hillary!!

Run as an Independent Hillary!!

Just proves that Carville will vote for a loser. I would hate to think that Democrats would vote for Obama.....just because they are democrats. People need to consider who would be best for our country and that sure isn't Obama!! I am a life long democrat and will never vote for that empty suit Obama and I do believe most of Hillary's supporters will not either!!

WRITE IN HILLARY!!

democrat1981   May 13th, 2008 10:03 am ET

Clinton supporters – listen and learn! Take this as a sign that even if Carville can swallow his pride and support Obama when he is the nominee... than you can too. This isn't about race or gender anymore, IT'S ABOUT GETTING OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary or Bust!   May 13th, 2008 10:02 am ET

If Hillary is not on the ticket, I'm voting for McCain.

I can't stand Obama and can't believe democrats would be so stupid as to elect a nominee with no experience.

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   May 13th, 2008 10:02 am ET

Terry   May 13th, 2008 10:02 am ET

I think he is a nut, but I respect James Carville. He is a true Democrat. He is for Senator Clinton, but will support Senator Obama when he wins the nomination. He even has a check already made out. I can’t wait to unleash him on the Republicans!!!! I am a Senator Obama supporter and I would have been mad if Senator Clinton had somehow gotten the nomination, but I have and will continue to support the Democratic nominee. To vote for McCain is just Insane!!!

Obama 08/12!!!

mitchell from arkansaw   May 13th, 2008 10:02 am ET

if you take all day to moderate my comments ,i'm not going to blog here ,anymore.

Charles in Florida   May 13th, 2008 10:02 am ET

James Carville, please just be quiet. Float all the names you want. Nobody in the Obama camp should listen to anything you have to say. Keep your check, give it to Hillary she's the one in debt. NO to Wesley Clark, for sure he would be a bad choice for VP and Hillary's damaging her chances everday she continues the madness. Like it or not James "Barking Dog" Carville, Obama is the People's Choice!

Question   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

How can a true Clinton supporter ever vote for John McCain? Look at his healthcare plan. This man is the polar opposite of everything the Clintons have worked for for the past 20 years. Hear are the reasons I've heard so far.

1. Obama stole the nomination from FL and MI.
No one who understands the political process (including HRC) actually believes this ridiculous notion.

2. John McCain has the experience.
And you would have him use this experience to destroy what is left of our country?

3. I like John McCain.
I like my grandma.

We are losing our jobs and our homes. Our children are dying in a senseless war. For God's sake look at the issues!! (By the way people who say they will vote for McCain because of how rude Obama supporters are confusing me. Do you really make major political decisions based on the sound bites of complete strangers?)

Sam   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Carville will send him a check for 30 pieces of silver, right?

R.I.F.   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

James Carville has the right idea. He's run about as hot as anyone out there but he knows that this isn't just about Clinton or Obama, but about propelling the Democrats to victory this fall and wokinjg to fix the mess that Bush will be leaving behind. we need to go after McCain, not continuily say that we are going to vote for the guy. Unless I missed something, Clinton and Obama were about the same on about 95% of al importnat issues. If you want to stay in Iraq, worry about your job, can't get or afford healthcare\, then vote for McCain. It's kind of supid to her Clinton supporters say Obama can't win so I'm voting for McCain. He can win easily if you vote on issues and not on emotions.

Haley Rodman Clemson   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Carville's no dummy. He knows it is over and is helping Hillary clear the way for a 2012 run at the presidency. Two things need to happen for Hillary to be elected in 2012:

1. Barack Obama must not be elected in 2008. If he is either 2012 will be a very strong Republican year as Obama's policies make Jimmy Carter's failed policies look pretty good or Obama will be so popular that no other delegate need apply.

2. She must exit this race as a very popular candidate. She is pouring on the charm and machismo. She has defined herself as someone who can win key Democratic groups and compete with McCain in the general election polls.

If Hillary looked this good and Obama looked this human three months ago, Limbaugh would be urging conservatives to vote for Obama today. Clinton would be running full steam ahead to the general election. Instead, she is running a very clever plan to give herself the clear run to the White House in 2012.

Extinct Snipe   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Ole Carville! Now, he barks just like he says he hears. The thing is that the barking we all hear sounds kind of like, WUF, WUF, but with an R sound, like RWUF, RWUF. And that's because it obvious the race is and will continue to be rough, oh yeah rough, on Hillary, until she gets out, and even then she'll be licking her wounds for a long time to come. And I'm sure the dogs that Carville hears barking have got big teeth, but they still can't save Hillary. Though they might try to doom Obama and even that won't work to save Hillary.

Travis in Canada   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

I see big mouth Carville has come from under his rock. He must be looking for a job with Obama.

James, you don't have a say in who Obama should nominate for the VeePee spot. You castigated everyone that supported Obama, remember? Even unapologetically called them names such as Judas, etc.

Bye to the Clinton era, bye to their blind followers.

After further review,Texas   May 13th, 2008 10:01 am ET

Carville screwed up her chances with his "win at all cost" campaign.His Rovian style did not work for her.

Grant   May 13th, 2008 10:00 am ET

He may be controversial, but Carville is no dummy, he sees the writing on the wall..The Clintons are in this to recoup some $$$ and CNN is helping by trumping the importance of WVA and KY to keep the story alive, bottom line, voter turnout in WVA will be low, she will net about 8 delegates best case scenario. Obama will continue to pick up Supers, she is 2 in the hole today already, thus her net gain in the delegate count will 1 or 2 at the end of the day....As CNN is reporting gleefully, she has a big lead in KY, however they conveniently forgot to add to the story, that she is losing just as big in ORE which has more delegates!!! Thus Obama will likely gain a few more here on the 20th,,She also trails in Montana and SD, but leads in PR, she will lose more delegates to him on a net basis. Sorry CNN this is over, start reporting the facts, not spin for the Clintons

Venus   May 13th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Go President Obama!

Tim,Seattle   May 13th, 2008 10:00 am ET

I think Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius would make a great VP. Obama would do well to pick her. A strong woman, a governor with executive experience, well admired and respected in dem circles, a centrist and from the Midwest that Obama puts in play for the dems.

Wesley Clark is not sesoned politically enough, but Bloomberg might be a good second choice.

At any rate, its nice to be able to move on at last to the general election anf let Hillary play in the exhibition contests while we get on with McCain.

Thanks James, be sure to make that check out to Barack Obama, democrat nominee for president of the United States.

Obama/Sebelius 08'

shelly in IL   May 13th, 2008 10:00 am ET

It's people like Carville that made Hillary's campaign so nasty and look bad with the attacks against Senator O. Oh how her supporters forget so quickly how her campaign began with the nastyness.

So is Carville changing sides now and is he a judas? Sure she should stay in the game til the end. We still have more states that need to be heard!

Dee   May 13th, 2008 10:00 am ET

Carville said Obama likely to win the nomination?
WOW!

SHOCKED – This is coming from the man with the AK -47 tongue?

BUT THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THEIR FINAL SAY COME NOVEMBER, NEVER FORGET THAT....

Indiana Voter   May 13th, 2008 9:59 am ET

WOW! This is a great sign of the Democratic primary phasing out! Let's all take a hint from Carville, and let the nasty remarks that have peppered the blogs become more constructive and conciliatory. The country has a great deal at risk this fall and we need to put aside our individual differences, forgive each other, and move forward. McCain and the Republicans are very vulernable this year. I would hate to see them win the election and destroy our country because we cannot get our act together to overcome our differences and form a coalition to improve this country for our children and future generations!

sue   May 13th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Clinton would ruin any chance for a Democratic win. We are as Americans too polarized on our choice of candidates. There was a woman being interviewed in Fairmont, WV this am, that said Obama was Muslim. Now I know why Clinton appeals to the uneducated. They don't read!!!

Cecilia, GA   May 13th, 2008 9:59 am ET

I hope that Hillary does stay in until a nominee has 2025 even though she will get the nomination this will show Obama his strengths and weaknesses to work on for November and hopefully he will with the support of Hillary Clinton and all of her supporters. We need a DEM in the white house.
Obama for President!

Clinton Supporter   May 13th, 2008 9:59 am ET

I've decided to give my support to the Democratic
Nominee..Barack Obama!

Last night i donated $100 dollars to his campaign! why?

Though i believe clinton would be a better president, i am a loyal
democrat (unlike, it seems, a lot of other clinton supporters).
To vote for McCain just because your preference lost is very childish!

Another reason.. H. Clinton would not like her REAL supporters voting
for McCain!

A vote for McCain is a stab in Clintons back!

(47 y/o white female, WV)

Jan from Boca Raton Fl   May 13th, 2008 9:59 am ET

Obama most likely will win the nomination, but he will not win the
election. West Virginia is making a stand to let the super deligates
know they will not vote for Obama in the general election, nor will
Penn, Ohio, Tenn, N.J., Calif, Ky, Ind. There are going to be millions
ov voters that will not vote, vote for McCain or write Clintons name on the ballot.

I know myself and many people I talk to Will Not vote for Obama and are going to write Hillary on the Ballot.

Somebody had better wake up or we will loose the democratic
Presidency.

The "math" that everyone is now touting has not changed in substance since before PA, so let's all get a grip and unite behind one candidate NOW, not in June. It's Obama, so be it. Let;s just end this reign of Clinton/Bush family monarchies!!!

Sick of Hillary   May 13th, 2008 9:56 am ET

Finally some voice of reason and acceptance from a Clinton supporter! Now only if Hillary could take a cue from Carville and start making some type of effort to begin uniting the party. As a former Clinton supporter (I've now switched to Obama), I have been constantly disappointed with her antics. Clinton had tried to change the rules so many times, she has been oblivious to the idea of right versus wrong. She has mismanaged her campaign, pandered, lied, changed her lies, returned to old lies, I can go on and on, I have totally lost all respect for her.

bp   May 13th, 2008 9:54 am ET

Thanks for keeping to your word Mr. Carville. I don't agree with 99% of what you said during the primary process and think that your labeling of Gov. Richardson was downright unacceptable, but you are taking the lead on mending the Democratic party. For that I say thank you.

Greg, NY   May 13th, 2008 9:54 am ET

Sebelius would be ideal. A superstar female Democratic governor that managed to win a heavily Republican state by a land slide.

Was able to beat back a 1.1 billion dollar deficit that she inherited from her Republican predecessor, all without raising taxes.

Also named one of 8 female politicians that could run and win the presidency in 2008.

Obama/Sebelius '08

JBY   May 13th, 2008 9:54 am ET

Democratic Primary Popular Vote not including the Iowa, Nevada, Maine and Washington caucuses:

Obama: 16,003,521
Clinton: 15,266,942

Obama's up 736,579 votes.

Michigan Vote
Obama: 0
Clinton: 328,309

Florida Vote
Obama: 576,214
Clinton: 870,986

So even WITH the Florida vote and the Michigan vote where Obama wasn't even on the ballot, the vote is:

Obama: 16,579,735
Clinton: 16,466,237

So using every metric that is in Clinton's favor, not using caucuses and counting the Florida vote and the Michigan vote when Obama wasn't even on the ballot, she's STILL losing the popular vote.

So I really have to ask Clinton supporters...
What election is Obama "stealing"?
The raw numbers don't support that argument.
Now, if you're basing your summations on emotion and anger. I understand.
Just don't pretend that your argument has any kind of factual basis.

Marc in Quebec   May 13th, 2008 9:54 am ET

CNN will likely ignore this comment as it has every other one I have made, but here goes anyway.

Carville, like Hillary, are in a complete state of denial. First, it was Michigan and Florida. Next, it was the superdelegates. Now, he realizes that Obama will win the nomination but still believes that Hillary will become the President, after being the VP.

Sheesh. He needs to wake up and smell the demise of the "Clinton Dynasty" and move on. Oh wait, he can't. Not after all of the comments that he's made during the course of this campaign. He's no longer relevant.

Ah !!   May 13th, 2008 9:54 am ET
