Romer, a former DNC chairman, endorsed Obama Tuesday.

(CNN) — Barack Obama picked up endorsements from three more superdelegates Tuesday, extending his lead over Hillary Clinton in that category to seven.

Indiana Rep. Joe Donnelly, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and former Colorado Gov. and onetime Democratic National Committee Chairman Ray Romer have all announced they are backing the Illinois senator.

In a conference call with reporters, Romer acknowledged he has known both Clintons much longer than he has known Obama, but said he feels it is now impossible for the New York senator to win the nomination.

“There is a time we need to end it and direct ourselves to the general election. I think that time is now," he said.

According to CNN's tally, Obama now has the support of 280 superdelegates compared to Clinton's 273.

hillary did it to herself
you feel sorry for her
she would not spit on you if you were on fire

Marcia, Chicago   May 13th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Wouldn't it be cool if the superdelegates came out in full force for Obama after today. That would be the best thing for our country. Hillary only thinks about Hillary, as America and the world can see.

Hey Hillary, take your millions and buy some dignity.

Chut Pata   May 13th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Anyone bothering to read the comments would know I am an extreme supporter of Obama.

I WILL WITHDRAW MY SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR McBUSH IF BILLARY IS ADDED TO THE TICKET.

Guys come sing along with me,

IT AINT GONNA BE NO CHANGE
IF YOU HAVE A CLINTON OR MCCAIN

Giuliano from Montreal   May 13th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Well I mean if they're going to do it drop by drop (SD coming out for Obama to put an end to these primaries)…why not just have a bunch of them come out together to have a greater impact. I guess they want to give the impression that this is not all planned.
Whatever since they're coming out for my preferred candidate. As for Hillary…well she just has to remember that humility is one the most powerful of all qualities to have and to show humility in such a situation wouldn't paint her as a quitter but as a woman of great character and judgment.

Do it Hillary. Save your party and save YOURSELF.

This message has been approved by me.

Terry H   May 13th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

So many people acting like this is a good thing. Never mind the "HISTORY of good service" the Clintons have done for the democratic party. They are just throwing her to the wolves and ignoring the desire of the people. Never mind the fact that McCain is going beat Obama like a yard dog come November. I am so disgraced and dissapointed by my party. I was actually a republican and switched over because of Bush. I never cast one vote for Bush and was hoping the democrats could save our country. Well now thats a wash. I guess I'll be switching back over because for whatever faults the republican party may have, they don't stab the peoples choice in the back just to enter their ringer. I've not read the Bible like I should have over the years but Revelations seems to be resounding. Obama will be the destruction of life as we know it if we don't stop him. God help us all.

what is this popular vote thing?   May 13th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Would someone please explain to me exactly what "popular vote" means? Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it true that many states have not kept accounting of their "popular vote" since it wasn't the party's measure? (The delegate count was the only measure) And, isn't the term, "popular vote" simply another Hillary "make-believe" distraction to throw off the uninformed voter?

Oh, please, America, wake up and smell the rotting flesh…

Obama   May 13th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

If Obama is in, I am out of the democratic party. We all have seen just how he has obtained his win and just how the democratic party turned their backs on HIlliary. To hell with the superdelegates and who gives a flying leap about these "young black voters who will be upset if he does not get in". I did not know that is what an election is based on. What crap. And none of us care what John Edwards has to say at this point either.

A good chunck of Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama. If Obama thinks Hillary supporters are as dumb as his supporters and will vote for him, he is in for a surprise and so is the dem. party. Most of us will not unite behind him. He is not qualified – he is in the lead because black voters are voting for skin color and not brains and unfortunately all of us will pay the price if he gets in.

To bad if Hillary has to back him. I for one hope she does not take the VP spot. He will just feed off of her brains. Let all the nasty mouth people who made really bad remarks about Hillary help him.

And CNN, how could you print that about Hillary and Fatal Attraction and put those pictures side by side. You do some really bad bias reporting.

Milton, Harrisburg, PA   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Some of the methods for counting states doesn't add up. Obviously you can't count Michigan or Florida (although somebody does–Terry) but it isn't just those states. Did anybody notice that Barack Obama actually won Texas if you count the caucus and popular vote combined. 98 delegates to Clinton's 95. The math can't work, especially if you are starting with fake numbers.

Anybody (Obama or Clinton supporters) that claim they will be voting for McCain if their candidate doesn't get the nomination, is a fake democrat anyway. Hello? Suck it up and vote against McBush. It is bad voting decisions like that that gave us Bush (TWICE!!).

R. Squibbs   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

To Maya,

I take it you *can* condone:

Clinton's willingness to play the politics of fear (images of bin Laden & the 3am phone call ad)

Clinton's embrace of reckless cowboy foreign policy (the "obliterate Iran" remark)

Clinton's cynical embrace of a dumb-populism (experts are "elitists" and I'm not going to listen to them)

Clinton's willingness to stoop to racial divisiveness ("hard working Americans, white Americans")

What's the difference between this sort of gutter sleaze politics and what we've been putting up with for eight years from the Bush administration?

No thanks. Clinton has proven herself to be entirely unprincipled, grossly opportunistic, and wholly dishonest.

It's time to unite behind Obama and take back the White House.

clueless voters   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

After 25 years of voting, I'll be doing something I've never done before. Come November, instead of voting for a candidate, I'll be voting against one. Leave it to this party to repeatly put up a weak and in this case, badly flawed candidate. It is a clueless voter, who does know that all these "super d's" are backdoor deals brokered for gain. We need a better and more honest system. No delegates, just one person, one vote. End the pandering and brokered deals and fake endorsements. The Dems deserve what we will be handed in November, but the people of this country deserve and need so much more.

Tom   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

you see the stupidity continues because the superdelagates wanted to …they had the power to call it but as misguided as they all are sat and watch the circus. Hillary tried to con the system by moving Fla and MI early so she could win and the DNC agreed to that with a RP Gov stupid…who's interest did he or she had not you the voters …they knew what was at stake ….RIP Hillary for your days are gone no more of you Bill and you bunch of "Poly Trick -Ions …. NWO…..rules

laurie, michigan   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Hilary has fought a tough battle. Unfortunately her campaign strategy was off. She's a brilliant woman. She just hasn't shown the leadership in her own campaign to be POTUS. Her stategists were "old friends" who were trying to run a campaign like her husbands and forgot the world progesses every day. I'm impressed with Obama's skill and leadership. He has tried to unite everyone, and even though thrown off course a time or two he has shown his ability to keep his campaign on course. Glad to see the superdelegates getting off the fence.

New Politics   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

To those who dislike Sen. Obama, please explain – what has heppened for him to have the delegate count and currently the popular vote over Sen. Clinton. Is it his fault that he is winning?

Larry and the rest of the Hillary supporters…Obama doesn't owe Hillary anything and she hasn't earned it either….She has repeatedly attacked him, his character, his judgement….made fun of his speeches and record and his position as "young" senator….he has done just fine and winning in all categories on his own….he will win the nomination and the general election with God and millions of supporters to believe in him….Hillary represents the politics of old and he's trying do something new…..If she wins big in WV and Ken and drop out, it only proves to everyone that she is about her and nothing else….what would happen to "everyone needs to vote and be heard"….she better stay in until 6/3rd, superdelegates will put him over the top…she can bow out and we can get on the ball with beating mccain…and everyone who made up in their minds in 1957 who they would vote for and for poisoning others with this same nonsense…SHAME ON YOU!…..GET OVER IT, EMBRACE OBAM 2008/2012

Farley   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

The suggestion that Hillary should be Obama's VP selection seems to make practical sense in that it holds the promise to bring their two coalitions togather. However, given her almost pathological obsession with being the top dog, I wonder if she would be capable of giving him her full support. Frankly, I would be worried about his personal safety with Hillary and Bill around. Efessbee, Jacksonville, FL.

anette   May 13th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

I have been a Dem. all my life.I feel that if Mr. Obama wins the nomination I will have to switch my vote to Rep. I just don.t think that Obama can live up to all that he is telling everyone he is going to do for the people and he just does not have the expertise to do the job.

Thelma, MI   May 13th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

First serious woman candidate and we get a nutcase. Hillary it's time to leave, don't leave angry, just leave. Wait until June if you like, and then go away.

You are not a fighter; you're a self-serving brat to keep the party tangled up in your personal goal. Read the tea leaves, move on already.

This country will NOT be hijacked by you.

We all know that she 'll be ahead in the popular vote

Hillary 08!!!

Keep strong we are with you!

RW   May 13th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Hillary Clinton needs to start making her case for VP, Number one spot has been taken, the time has come to go after McCain, its time the Democratic Party come together as one.
So let it begin.

Obama 08

Bill in Illinois   May 13th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

The worst thing that could happen is for Hillary to finally admit that she has no chance and drop out and to then see her included on the ticket with Obama. There is a reason that people didn't give her the vote to make her the nominee and most people who voted for Obama have no desire to see her on the ticket.

Al   May 13th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

BigBen – When you're down by 170, picking up 28 delegates doesn't matter. Nobody's trying to belittle a Clinton win. The fact is, it's just not that important and has little impact on anything.

Also – The popular vote doesn't matter.

SlimSista   May 13th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

TO THE HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS…YOU ARE SO QUICK TO SAY OBAMA IS STEALING THIS ELECTION….MORE AMERICANS HAVE VOTEDFOR HIM THAN HILLARY…HE IS WINNING THE POPULAR VOTE…SO WHAT IS YOUR ARGUMENT????? AS FAR AS FL OR MI, HILLARY AGREED THEIR VOTES WOULD NOT COUNT….SHE CHANGED WHEN SHE SAW SHE WAS LOSING…FROM DAY ONE HILLARY'S CAMP THOUGHT OBAMA WAS GOING TO BE A PUSH OVER….OOPS!!! HE WAS NOT… HE HAS BEATEN IN EVERY ASPECT OF THIS RACE, MONEY, DELEGATES, SUPER-DELEGATES, POPULAR VOTES…..

TAKE YOUR VOTE SOMEWHERE ELSE IF YOU FEEL TO DO SO, THAT'S WHY THIS COUNTRY IS CALLED AMERICA….

STOP WITH THE RACISTS REMARKS …AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN, I HAD TO VOTE FOR A WHITE AMERICAN PRESIDENT FOR 30 + YEARS…IT DIDN'T STOP ME FROM VOTING CAUSE HE WAS WHITE, NOT TO SAY I DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE….

AND IF OBAMA WAS NOT DESERVING OR QUALIFIED FOR MY VOTE I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM….BUT HE IS QUALIFIED AND BRINGS A DIFFERENT KIND OF POLITICS…

IS THIS AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE? WE AS AFRICIAN AMERICAN HAVE PAID OUR DUES AND HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTORS TO THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY JUST AS ANY OTHER RACE…..AND HILLARY OR ANY OTHER CANDIDATE CAN NOT WIN WITHOUT OUR VOTES EITHER….STOP THE BIAS…

YOU VOTE ON A PERSONS QUALIFICATIONS…NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN…..

Shannelle Marshall in DC   May 13th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Now the rest of the Superdelegates need to come to their senses!

For the "democrats" who say they are voting for McCain if Hillary isn't on the ticket…..This is immature behavior resembling that of a child who doesn't have his/her way. Are you going to fold your arms, stomp off into your room and slam the door as well???? I mean really….grow up people. It's this sort of STUBBORN behavior that has landed this country where we are today…..people in leadership positions refusing to hear out something other than what they had in mind.

Closed minds raise poverty lines!!!! As we've all seen over the last 8 years.

Get your acts together and act like adults.

Anna, Chicago   May 13th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Hillary's main concern now should be how to get her supporters back on board to support the democratic nominee, aka Obama.. Yet she is still desprately trying to find a way to get the nomination somehow for herself.

She has many good qualities, but sound judgement is not one of them.

Chicago for HILLARY !!!   May 13th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Republicans will swallow Obama as soon as They will have a chance to do it !!!!
Voters be SMART, make a calculation, before the End for Democrats will come !!!!!
No Nomenee ticket for OBAMA !!! McCain !!!!!will WIN BIG against Obama. Poor!!!!! Obama's Voters !!!!!
You are so naive !!!!!!
VOTE FOR HILLARY !!!!!! ONLY HILLARY COULD WIN WITH REPUBLICANS !!!!!

Marshall   May 13th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

People…I am guilty of bashing. Yes, I can admit it. But we all are. It is time to stop blaming each other. Both sides did it. It wasn't just the Obama supporter or just the Clinton supporters. IT WAS BOTH SIDES.

We need to get past the he said, she said playground justice and focus on the real issue…KEEPING MCCAIN out of the White House.

As I said before, I am guilty. I bashed on both sides. I started supporting one candidate and later changed sides. Who I support doesn't matter because their stand on the issues is almost identical.

Rush wants us to continue to bash and to keep us weak because he knows we could get anyone elected if we stood together. He fears US…A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

So let's leave the name calling and finger pointing to the children on the playgrounds and act like adults. Once again, me included.

Let's end the negative and focus on the challenge…Beating McCain.

This is my pledge. Who stands with me?

A lesson yet to be learned. Americans are not smart when it comes to voting people into public office.

Watch for backlash if Clinton is VP. She is exact opposite to what Obama stands for. Knowing her masterful manipulation and divisiveness, any offer to her as a VP will divid Obama supporters. Any deliberate effor to use polls to push for Clinton joint ticket is a self-defeating manoeuvrea and doomed to fail.

NY senator Shumer is never an OBama supporter and he is lost with Clintons. He has no bearing, no credibility, whatever..

Sherri   May 13th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Senator Clinton will win today with her politics of fear and pander…to save her face, to continue to destroy and divide the Democratic Party, and to find some new "spin" material. It is very, very sad.

I hope soon that she will see the dignity in working toward unity in the campaign to take the Republicans out of the White House. That is the goal, regardless of which candidate wins the nomination. The prize is bigger than both of them. I hope that she wakes up and sees this quickly. She may as well join the Republican party now, as she is actively helping them.

Joel King   May 13th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Crawford, OR   May 13th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Hillary knew after Indiana and North Carolina that she had lost. But she needs to get her money back, so she put on her game face and soldiered hit the trail.

This woman needs to be selling used cars–she missed her calling. What a piece of work, and she's not even good at lying. Her lies are so transparent. No one is surprised to hear her supporters are not educated.

Say good-bye to the Clintons and let's move on with our lives.

jeff from ohio   May 13th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

we need the superdelegates to offset the pledged delegates that hillary will pick up in WV & KY which would then end the race. Obama, do NOT select Hillary as VP – you ran based on a change in washington, hillary is the old guard – can you imagine hillary ( and Billy) running around washington undermining what obama wants to change….a positive dream ticket would include bill richardson, etc……send hillary back to ny.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I was wondering why the delay in reporting this development. Another site is quoting 4 new supers. For all of the people who have made racist statements on both sides of this thing. Ask yourself how does that thinking coinside with the fact that most of you would call yourselves Christians? People have made such a big deal about religion ala Revs. Wright and Hagee, but if you would not vote for someone based on race, what does that say about you? Most all of us are against the war at this point, and if you think about it, the majority of wars that have been fought in history have been about religion, and or race. If we are against this, when do we do something different?

Why still awaiting moderation CNN? There are not that many comments posted, no room?

I love all the women (and men) that are pro-choice and pro-clinton saying they will vote for McCain even AFTER he says he will appoint conservative judges.

They say "hell hath no fury like a women scorned" but don't forget that you should not "cut off your nose to spite yoru face".

Do you know how petty and foolish, like a 5-year old with a temper tantrum you sound? You go to bed with no dinner because you could not get what you wanted….. would you really rather let McCain win or vote for him just to tell off Obama?

Would you really like to tell the families of our soliders that die in Iraq or the people that lose jobs in America during the Bush 3rd term "Sorry, I could have ended this but I was ticked off Clinton lost"?????

How very sad and what lack of principles you hold.

lovely   May 13th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Hillary/McCain have u been paying attention.
Obama has more Delegates more SuperD's and the popular
votes. You are silly to even have the thought of electing McCain
a person whom out of touch with reality whats going on in this
world only from what someone is telling him, he's 1/2 step better
than bush u c the state our Economy is in all the Deaths of our troops
get real.why dont u draft your children or Bush's daughters in the service and she how fast you try to bring the troops!!

Stop crying already.   May 13th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

All of these Hillary female supporters could care less if she is loosing. My Mom is one of them. She would rather fight against Obama, because he is a man in a race against a woman, then support him. Although, when Obama has secured the nomination and Hillary has given Obama her blessing then the millions of femin…. women will support him.

Marc,

America is doomed already by the politics of Bush.
He made this world more dangerous and
there will be more attacks like 9/11 when this
politics continues. America has made a big mess
of this world.

Time to try a different and new way!

Barack Obama will be respected for his attitude,
his honesty and dignity.
This world needs to change now and if America
stays behind you are missing the train to the future.
I am an European and live in the Netherlands but
I am so trilled when Barack will be you president
he will be mine too!.
Lets make this world a better, safer and cleaner place
for everyone!

And McCaine wont be a alternative. Dont give the
future of your country in the hands of an old man.

Dems, Rep. and indep. reunite and vot for Obama
and you wil become proud again..

(sorry for my bad English).

dave   May 13th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

why obama can't quit the race if he really thinks the Dem, because in that way, it is good too for Dem.

Angie   May 13th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

For all of you so-called democrats that say you will vote for McCain, if Obama wins, you are not a democrat at all. You are just someone that has hatred and ignorance in your heart and life.

So, when more military Americans die, or come home missing a limb or two and your family can't eat a good meal because you are paying out of your ying yang for gas. KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT!!! Don't complain about McCain because you voted for him. Just like the ones that voted for Bush. The Bush family will be the only ones living the life of luxury when he leaves office. He has treated America like a company; and now we are bankrupted.

But, still I am glad there are Americans with a mind of their own. That know it is time for a change.

OBAMA '08

Blair   May 13th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Hillary DO NOT get on a ticket with obama. As far as you obama people. He has not won anything. This campaign has been nothing but a farce from the get-go.
All I got to say to you all and obama- what goes around comes around- he has WON nothing and all he has done is shatter the election process apart. I can not wait to see how he will shatter his cult members into little pieces and spit them out. I wonder- how far his cult will go for him- over throw the government?

Mike from Westchester   May 13th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Bloggers like bigben and Hillary/McCain are Republican trolls. Don't listen to idiots.

Obama is our candidate and we are going to have a historic victory, God willing, in November. McCain's shortcomings coupled with a disastrous eight years under Republican rule is too much to overcome, even with the expected smear campaign. Let's see, how will it go?

- Obama is not patriotic (flag pin makes you patriotic, you know)
- Obama is a racist (his black half hates his white half)
- Obama is a closet Muslim spy (over 10% of Americans belive this…but heck, 28% still think Bush is doing a good job)
- Obama is too black (of course, in December he wasn't black enough)
- Obama is too liberal (look at 20 carefully selected senate votes, not his centerist beliefs and platform)
- Obama is too inexperienced (when our best Presidents are almost uniformly less experienced that our worst ones – think Lincoln, Teddy, JFK – intelligence, vision, & judgment trump age every time)
- Be scared of Obama (the politics of fear won't work this time)

The truth will set us all free! Obama WILL win and he WILL be a good, if not great, President.

Barbara Branham   May 13th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Good for him, but I have been a life long democrat, and as long as I remember have always exercised my right to vote, I am also an african american female and based on how I have seen the media treat Senator Clinton, I have come to this conclusion…..if she is not the candidate which it looks like she will not be, then I will for the first time note vote for president of the United States. I am very disappointed, in the entire process: Florida and Michigan follow their state law and then they say they will get punished, neither candidate campaigned in Florida so it was even steven and they should awarded the the results as they were, and Michigan could resolve the situation, so I think the campaign folks are wimps, especially Howard Dean as he did not stand up for the voter. If I lived in Florida I would vote for the other party because the Dems have screwed Floridians so much. And then Barack Obama is not all pure…..just wait those Republicans are going to get him. Also how could the media say that Senator Clinton brought up the race card, lets speak frankly I have spent allot of time being educated on race and race issues and only a person who is not knoweledgable would not admit that race is an obvious issue, everytime you look at Barack Obama you see a black man and every time you hear his name people will think of of three things, he is black, he is muslim and he must be the enemy . I am not blaming them from thinking that way, the can not help it but lets be honest race is an obvious issue and those who say other wise are not being truthful. I am not against him but I view his record and he did not take a stand on issue which I feel are important, like woman and children's health issue, go read it is public record check out his senate votes, and also he voted with VP Cheney on the oil company vote….whereas these things were important to Senator Clinton and still are…Americans are suppose to be role models or so they say and we are always telling others how they should treat each other and he we are the most judgemental of all. So I say if Hillary can not be president now, give her a position of power, as she deserves it and she is not afraid to take on the status quo in D.C. while Barack will be trying to make peace they will be pick pocketing his back pocket. Go Hillary I support you to the end.

Misty   May 13th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Woooo Hooo Obama

Gwen, MD   May 13th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Hillary is actually running a vanity campaign. I heard that on the news and said "exactly, that sums it up". She pretend she's fighting for "the people" when she's really fighting for herself. Now she's asking her supporters to repay her for a "loan" that she gave to her campaign. Why on earth should her supporters "repay" Hillary for staying in a campaign longer than she needed to.

Boy are her supporters gullible. This rich, wealthy woman won't "give" to her own campaign, but she wants everyone else to. Saturday Night Live got it right–she's a sore loser.

Obama 08

M   May 13th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

I love Hillary. I am sorry she lost. I've gotten so into this campaign that I've felt the anger and defensiveness I feel towards the other team when I watch any close game. But it will fade.

It's fading right now as I think about McCain and how he keeps confusing our enemies. Even if it's just a slip-of the-tongue that keeps happening, it's scary that he could make mistakes like that and not correct himself – his advisers have to. I will vote for Obama when the time comes, and I believe my fellow Clinton-supporters are smart enough to get past the sting of this loss and vote Democrat in the election. We're not all as bitter as some of these posters. If Obama can beat Hillary, well, then he can beat anyone!

Chelle   May 13th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

Maya – don't play….you have never been an Obama supporter. AndI didn't see Hillary saying anything about the myriad "slights" on Barack by her supporters. They are both grown-ups and name-calling has been done on BOTH sides.

It's really time for everyone to just let this play out the way that it's going to. Hillary should stay in as long as she wants, she should just campaign as she should have done all along on HER positives and not HIS negatives. This way when it's over, she will be able to say that she competed until the end.

People who are voting for McCain "out of spite" need to take another hard look at what's in their best interest. Clinton, Obama and McCain will all be fine regardless. You had best vote what's going to be best for you and your family.

i noticed that obama is now bringing up his grandfather the one he rarely mentions but i guess when your talking to veterans his name comes in handy then like his other grandparent he can put him back in the closet did you notice in his interview with wolf he went on about how mothers day brings memories of his mother and of course Michelle but he never once mentioned his grandmother who raised him and did more for him than his mother or father and stepfather all put together this guy is a puke if he doesn't need you he doesn't know you Heaven forbid he ever becomes president

Mike   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

I know her supporters want her but, do we realy want someone running the country that keep the finances of her own campaign out of the RED. Is that not what we have now. Obama is our best shot at changing the direction of our country – today

Bias aside   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Derrick in Houston, TX   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Im glad the "supers" are realizing now is the time to unite behind the the pressumptive nominee. The Dems need to get it together before the convention. And NO Hillary will not be his VP. She stands for the status quo in Washington, so having her as a VP would make his fight for "change" null and void.

Billarybots…you guys are sooo bitter. You would sabotage the general election just because billary is not on the ticket? Clearly your on the same drugs shes on.

BER   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

It's curious how some of the HRC side in many of these threads so easily dismisses the majority (albeit quite narrow) of voters who did not vote for their candidate. If they don't respect the opinions of others why should anyone respect their opinions?

I also wonder why they feel it so necessary to threaten to take their vote to the other side if they do not get their way. Threats rarely work. As an observer I find it sadly amusing that there are zealots willing to shoot off their own feet to get their way. Were the subject not so serious I would suggest that the behavior is rather childish.

JRC   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Hillary/McCain – What kind of fuzzy math are you using?? Obama has the popular vote, not that it matters. The nomination is not based on popular vote, it's based on delegates.

Larry – Hillary as VP would put a nail in Obama's coffin….literally. The Clinton's have a way of removing people that get in the way of what they want….IMO.

And remember, a vote for Hillary in the general election, as a write in or Independent, is a vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for more bloodshed in Iraq. That blood will be on your hands.

Bob, Papillion NE   May 13th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

Answer to Mark Cross above who said the country is doomed when we vote for Obama:

Would that be more doomed than under George Bush or less doomed. Give me the exact percentage.

Seriously, what exactly are you afraid of? That he might actually win? That he might LISTEN to both democrats and republicans to move our country forward unlike Bush with his endless vetos and gangster, cowboy mentality?

Don't just spout useless garbage, get a life.

Alex   May 13th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Come on…this is not a good idea at all. She is strong headed person who is obsessed with herself and there is no way they can work together in good terms. She can be Secretary of one of the portfolios. It is reasonable to let him pick somebody he can trust and confide to. I do not see them trusting each other. It is plain bad idea. There is real bad blood and it is not reasonable to even contemplate. David once summed it…Obama has to get food taster if she is the VP.

nic from england   May 13th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Im a white conservative in the uk (you can call me a torrrey )
but obama represents something we havent seen b4 in any country not in this century any way .
Give him the bloke a chance
At least he seems like some one that willl step down if he is not doing a good job much like tony blair (my torey friends will hate me for that)
but he is good no matter how much u hate him ..You know there is a diffrence in how he has held his campaign compae to what hilary did .

Hilary Democrats give the bloke a chance..In UK we already pay 8 dollars a gallon thanks to Bush..This is what you will get if you go republican

The united kingdom is watching it wold be a shame if you voted for the wrongest person just because the person u like did not get the go ahead ..
Republican are gonna continue to lead USA and the rest of the world to higher ,gas prices,higher food prices ,higher medical costs(as they own all insurance companies) and higher cost of education.

Ann   May 13th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Hopefully before it's too late for this nation, the delegates and superdelegates will realize what a drastic mistake they have made. There is No way Obama is smart enough to run this country. Hillary is intelligent, experienced, and has the integrity to be President to where as Obama would just be a continuation of disappointments just like Bush has been. Besides, hard to picture his wife as first lady when she is just now proud to be an American! The Clintons have loved this country all along and now to hand it to someone that doesn't even have enough intelligence…God help us all!

Women Scorned   May 13th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

I am a women also and a Clinton supporter, but as I read these messages by other women who say they won't vote for the nominee it makes me angry and sad all at the same time

We are always complaining about being treated in a sexist way but we ask for a lot of the treatment we receive because of this type of reaction. We don't do as men would and stand by our party, instead we whine and get our emotions involved and spite our own party because we are scorned because our candidate loss. It is getting sickening to hear this coming from mostly women or feminine men in some cases. Men are loyal to what they believe and they believe in the Democratic party they don't sway according to their feelings. It is something we need to learn and that's how to put our personal feelings to the side and do what's right
Women are blaming Barack for what some other people are saying and the ignorance of his supporters. Sure I am upset that Hillary didn't win but I will be more upset if Mc Cain gets into the Whitehouse with the same Bush policies.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MC CAIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU !!!!!!!!!!
We must pull our emotions together and be the strong women that we are and show some solidarity for our PARTY! for our children and our families. We are in a mess and the repulicans want us to do just what your saying your going to do , so that we will lose and they will LAUGH AT US!!!!!!!PLEASE LISTEN!!!!

james   May 13th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

There are many qualified people Sen. Obama could pick as his V.P. My top three are Gov. Sebaulis from Kansas, Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel out of Nebraska, or Gov. Ed Rendell from Pennsylvania. Many people have floated the name of Gov. Ted Strickland from Ohio around. The problem with this pick is that although he may be able to deliver Ohio in the general election, he is a poor debater and would be a poor attack dog for Sen Obama. Gov. Rendell would be the best attack dog for him. Gov. Sebaulis would help deliver the female vote, but I know how she would fare as an attack dog. My guess is that Sen. Obama's running mate will be Sen. Hagel. He is the epitome of Sen. Obama's transcendent message of being a unifier.

Dems it's time to unite and take our country back, to save our economy from reccession, i believe both hillary and obama can do just that. it's time to bring our soldiers back home, i am a soldier who has been to Iraq once and scheduled to go back in Nov but i dont wanna die for oil, i will gladly be willing to die defending this great nation.

Please Repub, Dems, IND, let's make america respected again.

I do not understand people; these people say they are democrats, loyal, true, and dedicated to there party. Yet when it comes down to it, they could rather see McCain in the White House than Obama. That really tells me her supporters do not really like playing by the rules, like black people, or even have no loyalty at all to their party.

It makes me sad to see that things have not change in our society.

TimeToUnite   May 13th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

And another one…and another one….and another one….Obama 08.

Hagel might be a good VP choice. He is across the aisle and it would go a long way in bringing all politicians together to get something done in Washington, instead of this gridlock that has been going on forever which has allowed America to slip down the drain.

Comedy Central   May 13th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

We all know that Obama is going to get the nomination so you really don't have to continue with the negative Hillary remarks.

I won't vote for Obama based on his lack of record, his ties to Marxist influences and his ever so typical climb to power through the Chicago political machine. No vote even if Hillary is placed on the ticket. Obama is not qualified to be POTUS. Hillary would be nothing but his patsy and blame machine as he struggles along trying to bring about this change he talks about. Laughable. Michelle Obama was unapologetic as she herself stated several months ago that she would not vote for the "other" Democrat if her husband did not win this primary. She had no "loyalty" to her party, why should any Democrat have to vote for Obama just because he represents the party? So in Michelle fashion, I will not vote for her husband. The country comes first, not the party. And by the way, I won't be voting for Senator McCain either. There are other options.

Hillary as a VP ticket? No way. She is not needed. A democrat will win New York. If Obama adds the Governor of Kansas, Serbrius, to the ticket, he will lock up the "white women" vote. If Obama adds Gov. Rendell (Pa) or Gov. Kaines (Va), he can add those states to the electoral map. If Obama adds Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, GAME OVER! Obama would win Independents (62 vs 38) over McCain and gain about 15% to 20% Republicans.

Novemer election against the Republicans and McCain .
The following SuperDelegates needs to follow suit time is nearing
we need to stop wasting time on this race Hillary has double the
number needed for the nomination as to Obama's 154 needed.
The continued dividing of the Dem Party is now in the blame of the
SuperDelegates. 154 needs to come forward to keep our party strong!

Kendall - Baltimore   May 13th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

This is great news! However, Obama-Clinton is NOT a dream ticket. I used to think it would be. Senator Clinton has done too much damage and I don't believe Senator Obama or the DNC owe her anything. If Senator Obama picks her to be his running mate it would appear that he is doing to satisfy her. It would also be more of the "same old Washington" that he is trying to get away from.

Let her go ahead with a leadership position in the Senate. How about Governor of New York?

Aditi   May 13th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Obama can win as many superdelegates but winning presidency is not a matter of internal poiltics. That is why it is called election and not selection.

Hillary in 08   May 13th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Roy Romer…Wasn't he Chairman of DNC when Abraham Lincoln was President?

Steve - Minneapolis   May 13th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

I think it is telling that the supers are coming in for Barack as Hillary is winning a primary (one that, of course, doesn't matter). Now that it is over it shouldn't matter if Barack offers her VP (please don't let it happen) or not. She should be his strongest supporter and do all she can to convince her backers to support him.

It should make no difference if she is a VP candidate or not. She should be backing Obama without reservation.

…. but then it's Hillary. I doubt we will see this one act of concern for the party.

sellland   May 13th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

CNN mispelled the name. It's Roy Romer. Not Ray Romer.

J.S.   May 13th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Hillary Clinton's feminist supporters are quick to proudly proclaim that they would vote for McCain when Senator Obama wins the nomination.

I wonder if they would feel so high and mighty if they ran the risk of driving over a road-side bomb on their way to Starbucks….in their Volvo.

steve   May 13th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Hilary take the vp slot if its offered, you put up a good figt but its over.
Dont spoil the democrats chanches of winning the white house, and don't taint it with the subtle race issue, and for hillary supporters who say they will never support a black man, this is 2008 GET REAL,
of course if you want * more years of Bush there is always (Ive lost my bearings) Mcain

Nikita D. Williams   May 13th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Thank you for your support and endorsement for Barack.

Please continue your support as you encourage other superdelegates that now is the time to rally around the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama; with great respect.

With much gratitude and appreciation.

The Democratic process of choosing a nominee is ridiculous. All the drama of the superdelegates…..If the dems were chosen in a fair and blunt manner like the republicans, this race would be over by now and it would have a different outcome.

MMN - Milwaukee WI   May 13th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I think by June we’ll see the true colors of the Clintons.

They’ve thrown everything at this and nothing’s working.
Money already $20M in the RED.
Fussy Math by her surrogates (Lenny Davis, Terry McCaliffe, James Carville et al)
Kitchen sinks I think her neighbors have filed missing kitchen sinks reports.
Gender/Racial cards.
Worst I hope they are not praying for something bad to happen to Barack.

Since Hillary can’t move the finish line beyond June 3rd I think she’ll try to have the Mexican state of Chihuahua added to the union for one more primary to buy more time.

This has become an all or nothing for Hillary. She’s so blinded by this that I don’t think she realizes she’s lost the chances of being the VP and her senate seat in the process cause I have lots of doubt in her senate re-election.

A white woman for Obama   May 13th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Who is still saying Hillary can win, or will have the popular vote??

Get informed!! Either you support a democrat or you don't.

Hillary did not sweep MI or FL – she just changed the rules after the game. Even giving Hillary an edge in these states, she will not have the popular vote, the most delegates, the most states won, the most so-called 'big' states, nor the support of the majority of superdelegates.

Move on, support your party, or shut up.

Hoop Hoop Hooray!!!   May 13th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Welcome aboard the Obama super train…. For those still weeping here is a quote that HRC made which only shows how desperate and stupid she is. ""found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me." Does she mean to say black americans do not work hard?????

Mary in CT   May 13th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

The winner is the winner I support Obama, but if he does not win, then I will support the winner. We have been voting for years for a president, and our choice does not win all the time. Let's stop being sore loosers, get behind the winner and make a difference in this country. We do not need another 4 years of the Republicans in the White House. Let the winner choose the VP. He/she knows who they want and who they can work with.

Y   May 13th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

It just dawned on me that the Hillary supporters that are saying they wont vote for Obama when hes the nominee are not really Democrats. Theyre the Republicans sent over by Rush Limbaugh to disturb the primary process. I believe Obama would actually be further ahead if it werent for them trying to get Hillary elected so they could beat her in November. Please ignore their postings. Theyre posing as disappointed Hillary supporters to try to influence the Superdelegates. The Democratic Party is not as divided as the blogs make us believe. Obama will deliver the biggest win in Democratic History in November.

Ludovic   May 13th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

that makes a net gain of 26 superdelegates for Obama in the last week over Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY.

That completely — numerically — negates Clinton's pending West Virginia victory today. The Mountain State has 28 pledged delegates.

WAY TO GO OBAMA

Paul   May 13th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

What is with people who write, "the party has been hijacked"? Hihacked from whom? Democrats voting in Democratic primaries and caucuses under Democratic party rules have selected a nominee. Just because Hillary doesn't get the nomination does not mean the party has been hijacked.

Please read George McGovern's article in the NYTimes today and take his advise. (Remember that a divided party made McGovern lose to Nixon. How many people reading here think that went well?)

JOSEPH   May 13th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

What are they thinking? Super delegates have the responsibility to correct the situation in a close race and not just rubber stamp the bizzare primary process of the Democratic party. If the process was the same as the Republican party, Clinton would have secured the nomination long ago. Put another way if you can't compete for low income votes, the elderly, the Hispanics and the Catholics how on earth can you win the swing states?

It is funny that Ray Nagin endorses Obama when it was Bill Clinton that brought Obama with him during Katrina.

Well I am part of the new Nobama campaign. We are keeping track of all those that endorse Obama that are elected officials. Any of them that are up for re-election will be voted against.

Unite to Save our Nation   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I don't think Hillary Clinton should be asked to be VP. Obama would have to b looking over his shoulder constantly and having to remind her that he is the one in charge.

I'd much rather him go for Kathleen Sebelius, or even Bob Casey of Ohio.

She fought a long, hard fight, but it's time to concede and let Obama channel all his effort into beating McCain. Then I hope she has the common sense and decency (I'm sure she does) to rally her supporters around Obama, even if she is not his running mate.

Yeah Right!   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

We are a group of concerned American, republicans and yes it is time to confess our sins. We did what we did for America by creating a divide between Clinton supporters and those of Obamas. We were responsible for blogging as supporters of each candidate and throwing dirty words out here. However, we respected each candidate and did not do that on their private website.
The Obama movement was growing and we felt it could not be stopped so we had to divide the dems because it is important that you guys don’t win come November, so that explains why on blogs like this it has been very rude but not your candidates websites.
No offense meant but now that the damage has been done to both candidates beyond repair we are moving on to Operation SWEEP. CHAOS started with the blogs and ended in the polls, and SWEEP will be more telling even Karl Rove would be jealous. We know Bush was a mistake but that does not mean we have to put up with a democrat in office because we’ve had very good republicans. We have presented a moderate in John McCain and he will work with the democrat’s best. Let the games begin.
And we are having so much FUN, nice thing about the internet! Think about it FOLKS and give us one more chance to WIN this war and right the wrongs of BUSH.

Olivia   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Seems all the former DNC chairmen have decided to back Obama. Seems this is going to be a brokered nomination for Obama.
This makes me sad.
The first african american and the first female to ever run for the presidency of the USA….a historical event…..and many of these superdelegates are not interested enough to see this contest to the very end. Are they not even a little curious to know how this race will end naturally? This is history……and because of some fear and uncertainty that this strong female candidate might somehow upset the applecart…….they are all starting to endorse early so that it doesn't happen. What's the fear? How will history remember this and who will pay the price for all this?
Hillary MUST stay in. She isn't speaking to empty seats. People want to hear what she has to say. And to many of these pundits out there…stop being condescending towards Hillary.

Senior from San Jose, CA   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Good choice, gentlemen!

Folks, where is the guarantee that Hillary would win as an independent?
And what is this "she might win the popular vote"? Those of you who believe this want it to be so.

I hope Hillary has grown from this experience and will be wiser for it.

mona   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I take issue with all who say that someone not voting for Obama is a racist…

Race has nothing at all to do with it! Being an American has everything to do with it! I will NOT be voting for this man. Any one who will not say the Pledge of Allegience and won't put his hand over his heart while doing so should not be President of the United States. This man is all smoke and mirrors and I shudder to think if he wins the presidency!

Tim to Bigben   May 13th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Bigben!!! Here is a good quote that I think will help you tremendously. "Better to remain silent and be thought an idiot than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Whiskey   May 13th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Past quotes from intelligent responses
“CNN – Please Post or do you want a divided party?
People…I am guilty of bashing. Yes, I can admit it. But we all are. It is time to stop blaming each other. Both sides did it. It wasn't just the Obama supporter or just the Clinton supporters. IT WAS BOTH SIDES.
We need to get past the he said, she said playground justice and focus on the real issue…KEEPING MCCAIN out of the White House.
As I said before, I am guilty. I bashed on both sides. I started supporting one candidate and later changed sides. Who I support doesn't matter because their stand on the issues is almost identical.
Rush wants us to continue to bash and to keep us weak because he knows we could get anyone elected if we stood together. He fears US…A UNITED DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
So let's leave the name calling and finger pointing to the children on the playgrounds and act like adults. Once again, me included.
Let's end the negative and focus on the challenge…Beating McCain.
This is my pledge. Who stands with me?”

“I don't understand why those who support Hillary are so bent on voting for McCain in the general.
It is a spiteful, petty thing to do and shows no concern for our country whatsoever.
Please get out of your own selfishness long enough to support the DEMOCRAT because nothing good can come out of another 4 years of GWB, and that is what McCain offers.
Also, FL and MI knew what they were doing – and so did both Barack and Hillary – it was agreed to.
Barack has the popular vote and the delegates – it is time to UNITE as a country”

I love how all the "if not Hillary then McCain" fools are saying that Obama can not win in November. As she could, Look there is a reason why she is not winning the election you morons and you think she could win in November. She cant even win the primary.

Hmmmm   May 13th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Mark Cross you must be a Hilliary supporter. Go play in traffic with all your negative comments. You're the IDIOT! LOSER!

justobserve   May 13th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Thank you all the superdelegates who have declared their supports to Obama who have won the most pledged delegates. Not only it is a show of their loyalty to the party, not to a person, but also a show of respect for the party's rules. One can't accept a party candidate making fun of the party's rules by keeping argueing for different criteria to win the nomination. The most damaging of all is Clinton continue to divide voters into different groups then argue for her votes instead of working to help them to support the party in the GE. Clinton still clings to it to get a few more delegates but superdelegates can stop that. It's the time they show their courage in the face of the powerful Clintons. If the situation is reversed, no one has any doubt at all that Obama would have been pushed out by a flood of supedelegates supporting Clinton. Why are they still waiting?

Alisha(Independent voter) MN   May 13th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Even if Sen. Clinton wins by a landslide (as projected) in W. VA, mathematically she still cannot pull ahead of Sen. Obama. I am glad to know that a majority of the superdelegates can understand basic arithmetic. Although I will say that I admire Hillary's fight and do believe that she should remain in the race until the primary season is over, and all of the voters have their fair say in the election of the democratic nominee. With that said, Dems please unite so that we can get the GOP out of the white house for good; they did enough damage to last a life time. Independent voting for a Democrat in '08

I also feel sorry for my relatives in WV who dont know any better than vote for her and realize that those poorly educated white folks live to close to the status quo lies of washington and dont understand that they are being taken advantage of.

God knows I love those people and that area and vacation there, but please look what status quo has done for you……..nothing except 25% unemployment in some counties and cities are in rubble, vote for change and get the Clintons out……

Obama all the way!   May 13th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Thanks supers!

Hillary had a huge advantage going into this race – money and name recognition – so stop whining about the media. Obama had the media-created hubbub about his pastor so bad press was about equal for both candidates.

Hillary was actually doomed in 2002 when she voted for the Iraq War. Her opposition then could have made a difference; she showed how craven she really was, and all her statements since then (the phony gas tax holiday, her comments about "hard-working white people") have only reinforced that she has zero ethics/convictions and will say anything just to win an election.

And stop lying about the "popular vote." That phony math only works if you don't count the 44% who voted "none of the above" in Michigan as their only way of expressing opposition to Clinton, since Obama followed the party rules and took his name off the ballot. Once again lying from the Clintons – like that should be a surprise by now.

No Clinton VP please! She has disqualified herself with all of her bad-mouthing of Obama plus the horrible way she's run her campaign ($20 M debt? what a loser!). Name someone good from Ohio so Dems can pick up that state.

Deb of RI   May 13th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

I agree with BigBen "Democratic party trying to belittle Hillary win tonight.The party has been hi-jacked. Time for a third party" They all know Hillary's going to win big tonight and they want to make sure they come out for Obama before tomorrow's headlines read the truth in this campaign. Clinton wins the states that will win for Democrats in November. Obama will not win UNLESS he brings Hillary on board and I hope she turns it down. It's disgusting how she's been treated by her peers and this fight has been unbelievably hard for her while "golden boy" has been given the glory when MORE scandal and questions surround him and we don't even know everything about him yet! WAIT!

Keep fighting, Hill!!!

Dylan   May 13th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

OK… For a while these "Hillary or McCain" posts were really bothering me. How could so many delusional, small-minded Democrats actually exist?

But I've come to the realization that the vast majority of these posters are not actually Democrats at all, but rather Republicans trying to stir things up even more as part of that fat drug-addict Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos."

So I warn you, when you read these posts: while there is a chance is actually is a militant Hillary supporter that has gone off the edge, it is more likely a Republican with a whole lot of time on his hands.

Deena   May 13th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

It has been a sad state of affairs this election season. By the way that the democratic leadership has treated Senator Clinton, I cannot in good concience vote for the Mr. Obama. I would rather write her name in. They asked her to run the threw her out like the trash while giving him the red carpet treatment.

For the love of this independent   May 13th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Nevertheless Obama will be pressured to put Hillary on the Ticket.

We could have predicted 60 years ago how West Virgina would come out today! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!

It is clear to me what the difference is, the states West of the Mississippi or more progressive and educated. A lot states on the on the east side of the Mississippi still live in the past never fully understanding those who live around them. They stay locked up in there homes always afraid of those who are different.

Obama will win every state West of the Mississippi with the exception of Arizona McCain’s home state. Obama is well loved out here in the West we always look into a mans heart and see his soul . That is how the West was won we always look ahead. We do not have all the problems you have on the east side of the Mississippi, we always look forward instead of backwards.

The hate and racism you have handed down from generation to generation in the East does play well out hear in Gods Country. We are not perfect out hear butt we will give a man a honest hearing.

Liar, Liar, plants on fire.   May 13th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

James:….it is pretty interesting that the old white men are afraid of Clinton. I can't believe how she has so many people in politics spooked. I do not believe that they are loyalists. If this were the case, their loyalty is to the individual and not the party or the voters, which would support what so many non-American's making a living in America claim…we are not a democracy but a dictatorship and how dare us (U.S.) judge other countries when we have our own issues.

Misty   May 13th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Those of us who back Hillary do so because of her experience and seriousness, her intelligence and dilligence, her ability to lead…that plus getting 2 presidents for the price of one is great bonus…I don't trust Obama, I trust his wife less, so there is no way i will be able to vote for him just "for the sake of the party"…he is a poor second choice forced on us by the media….I'd rather have McCain and hope the media and country comes to it's senses in 2012

Kim, PA   May 13th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

IF the democratic party would give the WINNER of the STATE all the delegates like the republicans, Hillary would be slamming Obama.

HILLARY WOULD BE SLAMMING HIM in delegate count right now!

the STUPERdelegate issue would not even be able to help obambee.

what a ridiculous process!

Hillary 2012!

proud army and navy mom   May 13th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

i am an obama supporter. i despise Hillary.
that said, i am not totally against her being on the ticket as VP.
I might have to hold my nose while voting, but I am looking out for the greater good of our troops and our party.
anyway, Sen Obama can reject and denounce her and Bill if they step out of line. it's all good.

bill   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Add former DNC Chair Roy Romer, and Barack needs only 146 more delegates to secure the nomination. With WV in their primary, I'd expect Barack to pull out 6 to 7 more today. As far as Clinton as a V.P.
The democratic party had 2 strong senators run for the nomination. The eventual winner will need strong senators in place to move forward the agendas of the party. I think it would be foolish to remove Hillary from the senate at such a key time.

Great news but i have a question, if a person is more 'electable', shouldn't they be winning?????? And if a person is more 'electable' than why aren't the super's flocking to them????????

M.S. Indiana   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Mark Cross Junction VA, why are you talking about McCain ?? and by the way he haven't won…

Congrats Obama, we love you !!! Let's beat McCain and get this over with !!!!! Dems for USA

For the love of this independent   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Maya why are you attributing that to Obama. When Obama was called a snake oil salesman and a boy did you attribute that to Hillary because she didn't speak out.

You were not going to vote for him anyway. Stop using the petty incidents to justify what you are doing. It is not race. It's about a bunch of supporters upset at the fact Obama ran. he should have waited his turn. Because Hillary should have been the first woman president. And you cannot forgive him for that.

Beezer, Boyd America   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Would that be a dream ticket or a nightmare ticket?

Robert   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Ray Romer is right! There is no reason to wait any longer for this primary to end. Hillary should step aside NOW and start helping the Democratic Party come together for Obama.
Instead I know she won't listen to her peers and will continue to cause problems for her party…and she probably wonders why she has lost it and is not considered Presidential material. The word integrity is not in her dictionary.

Charles   May 13th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Hey "Hillary/Mccain":

Do you know how ignorant you sound? Both Hillary and Obama have acknowledged that their policies are fairly similar but that there are stark differences between Hillary and McCain and Obama and McCain.

To say you are "Hillary/McCain" is like saying you are against the war and for the war, for universal health care and for a $5000 health care credit….ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!

If nothing else, this election is showing us how dumb some folks truly are. It's so sad.

No joint ticket, please!!   May 13th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

We know Hillary's on her way out, but the question is where she is going. We need her to go far, far away — not onto the ticket as our VP nominee. Hillary and Bill are TOXIC, and Obama needs as much distance as possible from them when he is President.

l.a.p.   May 13th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

whatever, just wait for november, like i said he will need 3 time more of the so call black vote to win againg no Mcain the REPUBLICANS…

OBAMA HE IS A BIG NASTY JOKE

Rom,NY   May 13th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

TO the "Hillary/McCain" blogger
All common sense people know you are a nasty Republican, go away and feel free to vote for a third of Bush in Nov, nobody cares!! the worst president ever who is killing our soldiers in a war that's based on a lie, who is also killing our economy, who has no clue about foreign policies
Shame on you republicans !!

Looks like I will be doing a write-in on the ballot come nov,2008. Neither Obama or Mccain will get my vote. I support Sen. Clinton all the way. As far as contuining to being a demorcrat, after their appalling attitudetowards Sen.Clinton leaves me very disappoint in a party that always seem to befair toall people. The Democrats like their counterparts the Repugs veiw women as nothing more the thrid rate citizens. And as for the news media being fair and just, that is the biggest crock of dog poop,the news media is own and controled by the supporters of the Repug party

Fay Zeman   May 13th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Who would vote for Obama when we do not know of anything he has accomplished. Take a chance? Not on your life. We are in a depression because our elections have been taken over by those who think they know what is best for us and we get stuck with unqualified selfserving Duds. Let us alone, let us vote and we will get those in power who know how to be a President. We are stuk with
less than a vote in Texas because the Party Loyals think they know what is best for us. Our Party Chairman said this was designed to reward party loyals, Sounds like Russia to me.

Kelby   May 13th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

When this all began, I had hoped Obama would win the nomination. But, I was afraid. I was afraid of raising my hope only to see it fall in failure. I was afraid he would not be taken seriously. I was afraid that if he did succeed, some ignorant person would kill him. When Rev. Wright was put in the media spotlight, I was afaid that would bring Obama down. Most of these fears have been put to rest. I am still afraid of the ignorant doing something irrational. Today, after hearing this news, I have hope. Today, I believe that the change that this county and its fine people have desired in there hearts is about to come. Are you ready?

OBAMA '08

JC   May 13th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Obama should not let DNC and the superdelegates decide on who should be his running mate.

It's not his fault that he feels unsafe working with Hillary or Bill.
There are plenty of good choices to complement Obama.

people enjoy it, and united under Obama, please, there is to much at stake to let McCain win.. We are still in War, he wont give any one health benefits, even to we pay for his. He wont balance the budget, because the war is to importent for him… and no way he will help on us gas and food prices, there we are even more alone then on health care…

CNN, there is another one. The Huffington Post reports: Anita Bonds, the chairwoman of D.C.'s Democratic party came out, rather unexpectedly, for Obama late last night.

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 13th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Three more superdelegates for Obama! Wow, life is good!

Carville and everybody else know this race is over except Hillary and her do-boy McAuliffe. Those two are in the state of denial. They just can’t believe that the mighty Clinton Political War Machine has been out gunned by a small time, everyday, no name, African American.

Obama is smart to look forward to McCain. Hillary is counting on West Virginia and Kentucky to prove a point . . . what point? The score to 60 to 7, two minutes left in the game. She has the ball on the goal line and getting ready to score. However Obama gets the ball back and runs the score up 81 to 21 (Oregon, South Dakota, Montana). Looks like a blowout to me! Game Over!

YES WE CAN!

Mike   May 13th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Democrats are making a huge mistake… Obama can not win over the support of the base…

If 5% do not vote or vote for McCain it is over…

Ben   May 13th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Someone posted that Hillary will win the popular vote even without Florida and Michigan. Is Hillary doing her funny math again. She won't win the popular vote and even if she throws in Michigan and adds 0 votes for Obama then adds Florida she might be able to show the popular vote. That is the best she can expect to do. Does anyone really think that 0 votes for Obama would be a fair representation of Michigan?

Eric   May 13th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

"Hillary/McCain May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Clinton will win the popular vote even without Fl and MI"
=============================

Where do you get your information from? She is hundreds of thousands of votes behind, and judging from the numbers in the final races she doesn't stand a chance of bridging that gap.

As of right now, even with MI and FL counted, she is still behind the in popular vote.

I find it totally disgusting that everyone was screaming if the stupidelagates give it to Clinton the Obama supporters were going to riot in the streets, Donna Brazile was going to leave the Dem. party yadda yadda yadda. Now the tables are turned and Obama is getting them and its just dandy. What a stupid and turncoat party the Dumbocrats are and Howard Dean will be the cause of this party splitting in half pushing the stupids to make up their minds before Michigan and Florida are resolved.

nj voter   May 13th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Ok Clinton supporters this should confirm everything for you it's over. Clinton and Obama policies are 95% the same and Mc Cain and Clintons policies are 95% different. How can you be upset with Obama for winning? He didn't derail Florida or Michigan they did and Clinton gave her blessing to the DNC when she said Michigan won't count and didn't campaign in either state. The popular vote will never be legitimate because Clinton recieved 358,000 votes to 0 in Michigan. Obama should be your next choice for president. He played by the rules, he didn't go negative on Clinton, and he's going to change this nation unlike John Mc Same.

Edith Arkansas   May 13th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Thank you superdelegates, you made the right move why keep draging this out to no real advantage. I call on the rest of the remaiming and or undecided superdelegates to cast their support behind Senator Obama, so that the campaign for the General Election against Senator McCain can be on its way. If the voters choice at this point will not give Senator Clinton a winning chance, what is the point in wasting good time. Lets Go!! Obama 08. Again thanks to all the superdelegates who have made a decision in this timely manner.

Chris   May 13th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Oh ya..nice how the obama clan has been calling for Hillary supporters to unite the party, But if a poll says 55% of Dems want a joint ticket you guys scream NO. So tell me again, who needs to unite the party?

Obama 2008   May 13th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

I wish the super delegates will make a condition that Obama will NOT hire Hillary as his VP. Hillary is bad for Democrats and we will lose the general election in November if Obama makes the mistake.

I also think that offering Hillary VP spot, under pressure from party elders or influencial delegates, will show us that Obama really does not believe in his own message of CHANGE.

Hillary is opposite of CHANGE. She is not even trust worthy.

Please, Obama, do not make the mistake of selling yourself out for the office. In the process, you would be selling out people like me, your supporters since when no one knew you.

I still believe that you will do the right thing. Let Hillary retire from politics – or better yet, let her join GOP – she will fit right in.

You all will be the first ones crying when you end up in a worse position than you are today. You people are pathetic and are not true democrats. So go ahead, vote for McBush so your kids will never come home from the war and by the time he's done, we'll all be paying 7.00 a gallon for gas. Idiots!

Again….who cares about W. Virginia….if any "pundit" is looking at that as some big win, they are simpletons and clearly Clinonites brainwashees. If reference to the earlier comments about a majority of dems wanting Billary on the ticket as VP, I don't know any who do. In fact I know a lot of independents who would in no way whatsoever vote for that ticket. So I'd like to say with emphasis. "HELL NO!" Wake up people.

Don't get it.....   May 13th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Majority Rule Moral Majority   May 13th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

Those poor caucasian slobs in West Virginia. Don't they know their votes do not count in a country where gerrymandered districts and elections are based on racial issues. Now if they did not live in a State where 95% of the voters were caucasian and more like 30% in Alabama then the Africans could take over and run things like they want once the gerrymandered judges they get put on the bence rule in their favor of course. I have not figured out how the yankees north of the Mason-Dixon Line ,without the War for Southern Independence for them to constantly site, could tell Southerners how to live with these racist Africans when they do not live with any at all? Perhaps when the Democratic Party run by these racist Africans, socialists, and communists put it in the face of these caucasians and put their mulim man on top of the ticket then they will realize who is running this show!

LB   May 13th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

It's time to unite the party not divide the united states by race or gender. Both Clinton and Obama have great ideas to bring this country forward. A Vote for Obama in the general election will help all Americans. Isn't this what we really want in the end! Who wants more years of war in Iraq, no help for the economy, higher gas prices? Only McCain wants that, NOT the American people. Vote Obama not only for yourself but for all the Americans.

Punisher   May 13th, 2008 12:52 pm ET

You can endorse Obama all you want, this lifelong democrats will not vote for him in General Election, my vote will go to John McCain. The DNC also can kiss my regular contribution for them goodbye, NO HILLARY, NO MONEY FOR THE DNC!

I ONLY TRUST McCain and Hillary for our NATIONAL SECURITY and to do the right thing for our soldiers serving in Iraq. I DO NOT TRUST Obama, his own campaigner that resigned yesterday already talking with Hamas. I want a TRUE PATRIOT to LEAD my COUNTRY, not someone who will turn his back on America if there's a political shift in the wind and side with Muslims.

HILLARY OR McCAIN 08!!!!!

mn dharmas   May 13th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

It is time for democrats to rally behind Barack. Unfortunately for Hillary whi8e her husband provided her with the opportunity to be a possible first woman president, she also has a lot of baggage , baggage that politicians gather by virtue of being around with lobbyist for decades. And then she didn't show good judgement by abusing her husband's pardon powers and so on.

There are a lot of Could haves but if it didn't happen , it didn't . we will have a woman president , we are ready,but not just Hillary. just not yet.

HH   May 13th, 2008 12:51 pm ET

And the flood keeps coming. How many superdelagates did Clinton get 1 Obama got close to 30 its clear its Obamas nomination.

Clinton even told everyone when she would exit, listen to the latest video she made. She thanked the voters and said its on to West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon. No mention of Montana, South Dakota or Puerto Rico. She knows its over she wants to go out on a high.

I'm sick of hearing this CNN…why do we have to make a big deal out of EVERY SINGLE superdelegate that switches to Obama.

I am extremely disappointed in Americans at this point in time. If Hillary is not the nominee, we have missed an awesome opportunity to have one of the most dynamic leaders of this era. It will truly be a disgrace and a shame if she is not the nominee.

Do you Sen Clinton supporters even see the numbers?
It is not realistic to think she can win.
It's unreal.
Can you add?
Try it you might suprise yourself.
Or are you banking on this being another "Bush" type of win?
That's it right?
She will have to fix it to win. That's why it's so important to get Michigan and Florida to count .
Count Fla if you like but how can you count a state where only 1 nominee was on the ballot? You can't.

mark   May 13th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

If Clinton's supporters believe that Obama is unlikely to win the general election in November and they so desperately want a Democrate to win, the only logical thing to do would be to start working their butts off for Obama to change that scenario, because no matter how 'in denial' you are, Barack Obama is now clearly going to be the nominee.

Venus   May 13th, 2008 12:49 pm ET

What do you mean 3! So far today he got 5-Supers!

YES WE CAN!

I love how the Obama campaign drip these out!

This is going to be a big day for Hillary!

But… it's going to be a great day for Obama!

Yes!

Kay   May 13th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Reved up and ready to go…the superdelegates are getting on board.

OBAMA 2008/2012

Sam   May 13th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

It's actually four CNN, please catch up with ABC

Helene   May 13th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

The fight is over and I hope that Clinton is NOT the Vice-President.

John   May 13th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

W.V./KY only prolong the inevitable, plus damage the Democratic Party's chance of winning in Nov. What has Hillary done for you? Promises, promises…….. Don't let this phoney ruin the party's chance for victory. Vote Obama today! Please!

miller   May 13th, 2008 12:48 pm ET

Enough… stop the name calling and fighting. It is time to unite behind Obama.

Jason   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

:)

Theo Varelas   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

147 delegates to go. This is truly over. WV KEN & ORE should give him about 47-55 and then he just needs about 80 out of the remining 200+ Supers left. He should realistically have 2025 before Clinton even concedes.

Love Huckabee   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Yeah, go Obamie!

Yeah, former Huckabee independent turned Obamaite!

Obama 08!

Kim, Charlotte, NC   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

Thank you. We Democrats are ready to move on.

Viva Obama 08   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

The math will not work for Clinton.
Florida and Michigan must not be seated.

pee-d-feet cause something stinks   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

This drip of supers has become a tide pool and soon will become a flood!!!

lol   May 13th, 2008 12:47 pm ET

our independent/ write in candidate doesn't need the superdelegates.the dnc has backstabbed hillary throughout this primary. do the superdelegates and dnc think obama will win without hillary's supporters.(not gonna happen)the UNITE AND WRITE CAMPAIGN is organizing. UNITE AND WRITE hillary clinton's name on the ballot in november. the hillary loyalist are not going to let the crooked dnc, and biased media stomp on our candidate!

Carol   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Welcome aboard. I hope that after the primaries, Hillary will help unite the party that lately she has been party to dividing.

This attitude of cutting of your nose to spite your face with some of her supporters stating they will vote for McCain is ridiculous.

All they will do is help continue the failed administration of George Bush and hurt themselves and the Nation.

JM   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Clinton should run as an independant.She would probably win.

Jodie, Idaho   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Unite Democrats!!!!

Eugene, Oregon   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Fascinating how there is this push to end the nomination process prior to the convention. Very anti-democratic. Didn't used to be this way. The convention really did the nomination and we got better leaders. Who really knows what this man Obama will do if elected. Some of you vehement supporters please tell me how he will make America a better more responsible country.

Rom,NY   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Yeah, + a DC superdelegate, Anita Bonds, chair of the DC Democratic Party. CNN update your delegate count

Democrat 08
Obama or Clinton, never McSame

J in Dallas   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Turn off the lights when you leave.
Take a look at these superdelegates, they have pull with their parties and are well respected in their communities. Barack will be able to pull together a coalition that can lead this country in the right direction.

Karen   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

So….He's endorsing Obama not because he thinks Obama is the best candidate, but because "we need to end it." Well, there you have it folks — the attitude of people who make judgments and the big decisions for us.

And oh by the way Mr. Donnelly, what happen to voting the will of your constituency? Senator Clinton won your state!

There you have it Senator Obama, your "new" kind of politics. I'm beginning to think Obama meant that when it goes his way — it's the "new" kind of politics.

Josh   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Ray Romer…. that must be ROY Romer's long lost twin brother! I wonder who ROY will throw his support to…

SAM2008   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

I think McCain will be the president, I am sure if Obama is the Nominee.
This is America and wont vote for somebody going to bring FIRST LADY proud of other country not AMERICA.
MS OBAMA not PROUD of AMERICA how DARE you are going to VOTE for HIM and HIS WIFE. I think she will try to make UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE to some other countries she is PROUD of.

J. Indiana   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Donnelly will certainly go down with the rest of them and that's fine with Hoosiers!

Come on superdelegates! Wake up now!

Timothy   May 13th, 2008 12:46 pm ET

Only 147 total delegates to go and he's the nominee. He will likely pick up at least 10 more pledged delegates tonight in West Virginia. It is time for us to come together. Hillary has fought hard, but she didn't win this one. Democrats need to face that fact. Wishing will not change it. Even Carville admits it now. That truly is news.

bigben   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Tonight is the eve of destruction. Big Blowout. Followed by Hillary unleasing something on Obama tomorrow while he on his heels.

Ex-Democrat now Independent   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Time to fall in line behind McCain. Dems have lost their chance to take the White House.

Go team.

keith   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

well it sems as though obama's goin to win so lets just help him get rid of bush,,,oops i meant mccain

Sue / PA   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

WaHOOOOO!!!! Keep rolling them in…. Thank You Supers

I also agree..tis time we end this primary and begin the process of defeating McCain.

All Democrats Unite!!! The time is NOW!!!!

YES WE CAN

Obama 08 and 12

Older Female White Voter

fairandstraight   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

It is high time. The Democrats are about to fall for the oldest trick in the book. We need to unite the party. Together we stand and divided we fall. As long as the Republicans play with this race by trying to keep Sen. Clinton out there fighting to win, Sen. McCain will look like a strong candidate ready to unite. Before we know it, we will be in this present condition for the next 4 to 8 years.

Obama 08!!!

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

We could have predicted 60 years ago how West Virgina would come out today! THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!

It is clear to me what the difference is, the states West of the Mississippi or more progressive and educated. A lot states on the on the east side of the Mississippi still live in the past never fully understanding those who live around them. They stay locked up in there homes always afraid of those who are different.

Obama will win every state West of the Mississippi with the exception of Arizona McCain’s home state. Obama is well loved out here in the West we always look into a mans heart and see his soul . That is how the West was won we always look ahead. We do not have all the problems you have on the east side of the Mississippi, we always look forward instead of backwards.

The hate and racism you have handed down from generation to generation in the East does play well out hear in Gods Country. We are not perfect out hear butt we will give a man a honest hearing.

Erik B   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

Thank you guys, let's end this primary and Unite this party.

Hopefully we can have a Democrat in office in November.

Obama/Sebelius 08′

Kenneth M   May 13th, 2008 12:45 pm ET

NONE OF THIS MATTERS BECAUSE HER SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN NOV. THERFORE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT SHE WANTS AND CLAIMS ARE SO IMPORTANT WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2016 WHEN ANOTHER GENERATION OF DEMS ARE BOLD ENOUGH TO STEP UP. BECAUSE IF HE LOOSES BECAUSE OF HER I WILL MAKE IT MY LIFES WORK TO MAKE SURE SHE LOOSES IN 2012 STARTING JAN 09. SO YOU SLICK HILLIE SUPPORTER BEWARE. SUPPORT OBAMA OR SHE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.

Tony   May 13th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

And, with that, it's over. It was a nice run, Senator Clinton. Please take a seat, enjoy your complimentary tub of popcorn, and enjoy the show.

shelly in IL   May 13th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

YES, YES! Lets get it over with already. Thank you to all the Senator O supporters and lets get ready for November.

j   May 13th, 2008 12:44 pm ET

It is time to bring the Democratic Party together and begin preparing for the general election. I like John McCain but he would be a terrible president – we need to come together and start challenging his bad ideas.

Paul   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Keep it coming! I still am on the Hagel story.

Kim, Charlotte, NC   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Thank you very much. The Democratic Party is ready to move on.

Stevo in PA   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

The Superdelegate know the Math!!! They are Uniting the party.
Hoorah for the Superdelegates!!!

Let unite the Democrate Party NOW!!!!!
Obama will take Hilliary along for the VP ticket, He's no dummy.
Let's win in landslide fashion and take congress as well!!!!

Obama / Clinton 08′

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

The levee is about to break. But this time it's Hurricaine Obama!

rs   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

tick tock tick tock tick tock . . .

Larry   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Hill's best scenario now is to Win in W. Virginia and Kentucky and go out with a bang. She then needs to make a case for the VP spot. The pattern of superdelegates supporting Obama all but puts the nail in the coffin for her.

OBAMA 08!   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

Dj   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Looks like Sen. Clinton will win and lose today.

She will win a moral victory in WV (for her own self-esteem)

She will lose the nomination as the superdelegates continue to come forth to support Obama. (for the good of the country).

Mark Cross Junction VA   May 13th, 2008 12:43 pm ET

Our Country is doomed when this man takes office. We can only blame the idiots that vote for him.

maya   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Cohen's Fatal Attraction comparison did it for me. And Obama's silence. I can't vote for him and support or condone what he and his campaign represents.

Good luck "New" Democratic Party. I'll leave before I am shoved out and stepped upon like Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Robert in Albuquerque   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

As a Hillary supporter I admire BOTH Obama and Hillary for the hard fight. I just have to wonder if the saying is true, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" I just wonder if Hillary is going to be a force to deal with once it's all done and over. Obama needs her as much as she needs him and all this fighting between supporters needs to end and just let things cool down and play out. I do feel unfortunate for those in congress who have turned their back on the clintons because like it or not, they are a major backbone of the DEM party and are needed.

EC   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

This is TRULY the end of Sen. Clinton. She can't keep ignoring the FACT that she's losing BIG support amongst the Democrats and can't keep denying the reality. She's LOST.

The longer she stays in the more she will be portrayed as a "sore loser". NOT good if she plans to get re-elected in NY.

If Sen. Clinton is NOT careful she could LOSE ALL support and also her Senate seat if she doesn't heed the call of the people.

American Supporter for OBAMA   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Looks like Obama is going to be the winner today despite WV!

Thank you gentlemen.

Jewish Women for Obama   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Hillary is just forcing these supers to make a difficult, and yet obvious choice… She'd serve the party so much better if she just bowed out gracefully…

How can anyone be so self-centered???

Obama/Hagel 2008 & 2012

Hillary/McCain   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

Clinton will win the popular vote even without Fl and MI, and the superdelegates should consider the popular vote (the will of the people) more important than pledged delegates. Have we ever had a nominee who didn't win the popular vote?

I urge all Hillary supporters to protest this election if Obama becomes the nominee and vote for McCain!

real obama supporter   May 13th, 2008 12:42 pm ET

WELCOME TO YOU SIRS

glad to have you aboard
god bless america,our troops, and all the countries who have so many deaths

Lucy in Illinois   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Those of you who want to write Hillary's name in as indepedent in the general election go right ahead. You then should help McCain move into the White House.

The superdelegates are speaking – the party needs to unite and quit giving McCain a free ride.

Darth Vadik, CA   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Let me guess, the W Virginia is the most important state of the union, right Hillary?

Dave in Atlanta   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

How is Ray Nagin a superdelegate? He is neither a legislator nor a state governor. Is he a DNC official?

Obama 08!!

Philly Kid   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

What in the world is going on. Hillary needs an exit strategy now more than ever. Her super delegates are jumping ship for Obama. She needs to grab the V.P spot while it's still possible. Please!

Sherry   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

This is good news. I have great respect for Hillary, but it is time to get real. She now needs to stand behind Obama in the race for the White House and not try to keep throwing out hurdles.

Obama 08!!

bigben   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Democratic party trying to belittle Hillary win tonight.
The party has been hi-jacked. Time for a third party

Kyle   May 13th, 2008 12:41 pm ET

GO OBAMA!

Susan in SC   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Very nice. Now… IF only we as Democrats could until behind a single nominee…… That is true hope.

Krissy, FL   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

Whoop, there it is….!

James   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

CNN will not explain all the old white men are so scared of Hillary.

C from the D   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

I'd like to see a day where Obama picks up 10-20 super delegates.

Darth Vadik, CA   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

CNN,
please dont even pay attention to Hillary, you know the fatal attraction one.

bigben   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

All aboard the Obamaloser train!
Obama is the emperor with no clothes. They are just scared to tell him ., He is naked

Lynda   May 13th, 2008 12:40 pm ET

This is good news for Sen. Obama. Keep on going!! But the dream ticket is very scary.

Marty, Orlando   May 13th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

That's awsome!
Hillary will drop out soon. I guarantee it.

Moses, Ca.   May 13th, 2008 12:39 pm ET

Thanks to all of you SD's. You made the right choice.
