Blitzer: Clinton told me she's in it until the end.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — On this day after Hillary Clinton’s landslide victory over Barack Obama in West Virginia, I sat down with her in Washington. We had a wide-ranging interview on several substantive issues, including the economy, gas prices, the war in Iraq, and her race for the White House. “We’re going to finish this process,” she said. “I still believe I’d be a better president and the stronger candidate against Senator McCain.”

But it was a very personal matter that sparked a more emotional response from Senator Clinton. I asked her about her daughter Chelsea and the amazing work that she has been doing for her mother on the campaign trail. I was CNN’s White House correspondent back in 1993 when Bill Clinton became president. Chelsea was then a little girl. But now she’s a grown woman.

I asked Senator Clinton what goes through her mind when she sees her daughter working as hard for her campaign as she does.

“It’s one of the most incredibly gratifying experiences of my life, as a person and as a mother,” she replied, her eyes beginning to get moist. “I get very emotional. She is an exceptional person, and she’s worked so hard, and she’s done such a good job that I’m just filled with pride every time I look at her.”

It was such a very human and touching mother-daughter kind of moment. She may be a tough politician and a real fighter but she’s also a loving mother, and that came through on this day.

Watch me interview Senator Clinton at 4 and 6 p.m. ET on The Situation Room.

To Hillary Supporters who won't vote for Obama if he is the Nominee:

You have the choice to vote for OBama or vote for the 3rd term of BUSH; War for 100 years; Worse economy; Jobs loss; High groceries and gas prices… Just choose what you want…

I don't care about the Old , non-educated people voting for Hillary… I am old, but I care about the future for my children , grand children.. We need Change… No more BUSH-CLINTON…; Why you old -white , keep voting for the same people? Do you want the same politicover and over again?

Can't wait to see what the Gimmick Candidate will do next, maybe levitate like David Blaine? :o

Hillary Clinton, the Gimmick Candidate
Bill and Hillary, The Gimmick Family

v.ananthan   May 14th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

Mothers and people who love their mother will understand Hillary^s love for her daughter…

HILLARY IS A STRONG LEADER AND AT THE SAME TIME VERY HUMANE …

SHE WILL BECOME A GREAT AMERICAN PRESIDENT…

-Hillary 08.

Independent for Obama   May 14th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

********************** EVERYONE!! *************************

Please be nice to each other, and respectful of Hillary Clinton.

She's taken a lot of time out of her life to run for the presidency and try to do what she thinks is best for the country.

Name calling and nastiness never won anyone any friends.

Tee-Off   May 14th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

A win in Kentuky and Oregon could close the deal for President Obama. Let's all vote for Obama and get this long drawn out primary over with. I don't know if it is Hillary Clinton ranting all the time or what, but this primary seems to have been going on for five years. Please can someone shut that shrilly voiced old woman up.

For the love of this independent   May 14th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

As an Obama supporter. I really have to say if this was the side that showed forth more in this campaign other than the Rovist I truly believe Hillary would be the nominee. She is truly qualified to run the country and a wonderful person when you get to know her. I support Obama because I wanted change not experience. But I would have voted for Clinton.

Venus   May 14th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

Her family has done a great job!

Hats off to Chel!

It's starting to hit Hillary that she is not going to win!

She even said it would be a mistake to vote for Mc Cain!

I don't trust her!

Go Obama!

Peter from Oregon   May 14th, 2008 4:08 pm ET

She does get very emotional when she thinks it benefits her. It has worked for her in the past. She's trying her best to play to the gender issue, i.e. mother-daughter relationship.

FedUpDem   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Can you even begin to imagine the kind of nasty vile things the obamidiots will be saying here?

Blyth   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

So does this mean Hillary will tell Chelsea what her husband did to
Juanita Broderick and why Hillary kept it silent?

shola   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

senator clinton,
we respect you as a mother and a leader, but this presidency is not for you. If it were, majority of americans would not have voted for the so called inexperienced new comer. People can see beyond the farcade of nice campaign words, and please give us a break with the choke- ups, this is not about emotions, this is about lives.

Ashley, OKC   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

Oh, give me a break!!!!

We see through you, Hillary!!! We all see through you!!!!

One question: If you value the life of your daughter so much and her presence in your life, then why did you send so many men and women her age overseas to die? Why did you put them in harm's way without reading the intelligence reports? Would you have sent your own daughter?

Who cares Wolf   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I guess Chelsea is still living off the folks but she is getting experience which, according to some HRC supporters, is apparently sufficient to become President. Chelsea for Veep!

R.I.F.   May 14th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I know you love Hillary and all Wolf, but this is the exact same story that's already on the ticker. Exact same!!!

oil rules   May 14th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

Two stories on this same event? Clinton News Network is really trying to soften the great fall and make her viable for a VP slot. Michelle better not get near the cigars….

Oh no! She didn't cry again, did she?

Rosalind   May 14th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Drama Queen!

Go Obama, 2008!

Debbie,NJ   May 14th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Come on Wolf. With all that's going on you're emphasizing her crying over her daughter. That's why somebody else should have done the interview. SOmebody that would treat her like a candidate for Presidency rather than a first lady.

sacto joe   May 14th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of Repubs posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE REPUB HATE MACHINE!

Ken Austin, TX   May 14th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

So what Wolf? Instead of asking her nice, pandering questions related to her daughter, you should've hit her with some more substantial-based questions.

proud army and navy mom   May 14th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

only thing that has tears coming from her eyes is that 20 million she threw away and losing

Sylvia, California   May 14th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

So drinking and hunting with the guys didn't work so HRC brings on the tears again. Disgusting!

JDM   May 14th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

This is the second time today Blitzer mention this today!
What about the Del count for O B.?

Pam   May 14th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Come on Wolf, just admit you're a Hillary supporter.

huh?   May 14th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

One post maybe . . . . . but two? 55 minutes apart from each other? It's fine if the ticker is meant to reflect editorial preferences but don't you guys tout yourselves as "the best political team on TV? " Do you mean team as in part of Clinton's team? Kind of shameless don't you think?

Lisa   May 14th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Go Hillary we need you, Obama cannot beat Mccain!!!!!

Charlotte   May 14th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

Wolf, don't you know she is not allowed to feel emotional. The Obama-bots will call her names again, as in the past. Why is Obama suddenly wearing a flag pin? He wouldn't be pandering now would he? Nah, he's above that.

White American   May 14th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

She is so FOOL of it…….. Why she's crying? wasn't she supposed to be tough. I don't understand that.

AJ, IL   May 14th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Wolf quit it. You are making CNN = Clinton News Network, again. For CNN to give Hillary's campaign spokesman (Howard Wolfson) that much coverage during the West Viriginia Primary last night was ridiculous and clearly biased.

To watch Howard Wolfson spin lies and denial as you and John King asked him about the pledged delegate math, and not push him to acknowledge the math was a sad piece of journalism.

steve in mn   May 14th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

Wolf, if you get a chance, please ask Hillary Clinton or comment on why she seems so attractive to those among us who are minimally educated while Obama attracts college graduates and intellectuals. I'd be interested in the answer.

Yes we can!   May 14th, 2008 4:15 pm ET

I dont doubt her love and appreciation for her daughter, but after seeing many rallies and while listening to chelsea speak, i haven't seen her drop a tear….you can do it on a wolf interview, but not in live with chelsea there…..i wish the clintons best of luck in their political future, but this time it belong to Obama/Nagel 2008/20012

Chris In California   May 14th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

There is so much love in this family. It is evident that Hillary Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, are very close. It is also obvious that, in addition to her being the best person to run this country in the running right now, Hillary Clinton has earned the respect and love of her daughter along with the rest of us who support her.

Jeanne   May 14th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

Why do you need another blog area for this topic. Isn't one enough?

Helene   May 14th, 2008 4:16 pm ET

If she cries another time on TV I am going to throw up, literally ! Please !

bg   May 14th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Senator Obama is just too good. I think Senator Hillary is also a strong candidate, but unfortunately she ran into 'once-a-life-time' phenom. Too bad for Senator Hillary.

Reminds me of Phil Mickelson running into Tiger Woods in golf……

Proud1of 26% in WV   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Putting all politics aside there is nothing stronger than my love for my children,and I'm sure that Hillary and Barack feel the same way.

vict   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

She need to stop this game it is not going work this time Americans can not be fooled twice is she the only emotional person in this country ? all this is fake .It worked in Newhampshire it not going to work this time we are not children the game is over .When she was wining ther was no cry she was laughing.And now she is doing yhis to make people feel sorry for her not this time enough iss enough

JW from Washington, DC   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Seriously, Wolf? I mean, how can anyone believe her 'tears' are sincere? Perhaps they are, perhaps they aren't, but given her history and 'convenient timing' for tears, I wish Wolf would have not taken her 'tender emotion' at face value. I'm sure its easy to get that way when anyone thinks of how proud they are of their child, and Chelsea has grown up to be a strong woman, but I can't imagine Clinton doing something like this without it being politically motivated.

CW4Barak   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

Aww…how sweet….do us all a favor and sing fat lady! Stop trying to scam poor white blue collar americans how of their hard earned money by misleading them about the prospects of you ever getting this nomination. Smart Obama supporters know you are just campaigning to pay off your huge debt. You are such a liar and dishonest! You don't care about us….you will say, do and become anything to try to steal this nomination….if you can't run a simple primary campaign without plunging it into debt…how the heck are you going to run the most powerful country on earth. Also, you need to apologise to us all for blinding us everyday with those bright colored suits!!

VA Republicans   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

You have to give us a break Wolf Blitzer. just SAY it. be a man and SAY it. you support HRC. thats OK. its your right to vote for whomever you want. you also need to remeber that when you are on TV talking to millions of viewers you need to be nuetral. this tear thing worked before so this your new of helping her to win Orgon????? this is sick

vict   May 14th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

She need to stop this game it is not going work this time Americans can not be fooled twice is she the only emotional person in this country ? all this is fake .It worked in Newhampshire it not going to work this time we are not children the game is over .When she was wining ther was no cry she was laughing.And now she is doing yhis to make people feel sorry for her not this time enough iss enough

brush   May 14th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

I for one am glad that she can get chocked up, she can show some real emotions, she is a real woman, a mother, a wife, and she loves her country. Good for her. Obama , and his amazon fake wife scares the crap out of me. I said fake, because I feel that he is fake and if he is elected I hope America gets what they wanted, a liar, thief, non christian, one that is just now proud of being an American , proud of the USA. Christians where are you? Do you not read your bible. Does it not mean anything to you at all that is a smooth talker, easy on the eye, has millions flocking after him like he is some GOD. Beware you are gonna get what you deserve and then its gonna be too late. I hope HC can pull this one off someway , somehow, cause if she don't, we as a country are going to be in a world of hurt, and if you think your scared now, waite, you haven't seen nothing yet.!

Brandon   May 14th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Wow, thanks for two stories on Clinton getting emotional… I really needed that.. Still waiting for the story on Obama endorsements

HILLARY CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER!!   May 14th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

THE PEOPLE OF WEST VIRGINIA SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR LAST NIGHT!!!!!!

WHAT A WIN!!!!!

HILLARY IS MUCH MORE ABLE TO BEAT McCAIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!

OBAMA IS RIDDLED WITH CONTROVERSY!!!!!

HILLARY CAN RELATE!!!!!

THANK YOU WEST VIRGINIA!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

RB   May 14th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Wolf, it was staged to win votes. Get over it.

Eli   May 14th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Wolf is a Clinton supporter, or at least he postions himself as a aide to keep this fight going…. Or is he a GOP supporter?

Paul   May 14th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Thanks for letting America know that Hillary is also human and the best candidate for this election

Hillary we love you and support you all the way!!!
We need a Clinton to restore our broken economy

FLA and Michigan must count, they are Americans

Obama can be your VP until he learns how to do the job. He might eventually be ready in the future.

Hillary 08 - Yes you will!!!
Puerto Rico, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky & Oregon for Clinton!!!
Vote Democrat- Vote for Clinton

ueen golf04   May 14th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

this remind me about obama's book,dreams from my father where he wrote touchingly about what his white mother went through before she died,between trying to pay her hospital bill and giving the impression to her children that everything was alrite,i think that was one of the most emotional moment of my entire life.

mike for houston   May 14th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

It is so fake ……………………… I feel annoying.

Swigg   May 14th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I didn't see the interview, but as soon as I read this story I knew that the overwhelming comment from many bloggers would be "Here she goes with the crying game again". I was right, many start accusing her of the crying game and using her role as a mother to garner sympathy and look human. Some people are just very harsh.

I have been bitterly disappointed in Senator Clinton's behavior and tactics during this campaign. Although I don't believe she is a racist, I thought her comments to the USA Today were racially devisive and invited racial bigotry. I also believe her decision to stay in this campaign is adversely impacting the Democratic Party and demonstrates fiscal irresponsibility.

All that said.., I honestly believe she is very proud of her daughter and I can understand that it means a lot to her to have her daughter on the campaign trail with her. I'm sure it means a lot to her to have her daughter's respect and admiration. Again, I didn't see the interview, but it's probably the most genuine and honest statement she gave.

I voted for Senator Obama and I believe he will serve the USA well as President. Although I have found Senator Clinton's tactics and behavior disgraceful and, strongly prefer that she not be selected to run as VP on the ticket with Senator Obama, I will support her if she is the democratic nominee. However, I strongly doubt she will win the nomination. Frankly, I hope she doesn't.

GL   May 14th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I knew you couldn't go more than two days writing real stories!!! Even put money on it. Thanks for the $20.00 Wolf. Now I can go buy 5 gallons of gas, or 4 gallons of milk. How sad this has all really become….

Eli   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I quess it is a choking matter for Se. Clinton,. she now has to wait for Chelsey to run before another Clinton can make a serious run for the White House. Moms never want to be beat out by their duaghters!

CNN, Report The News!   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Two superdelegates representing College Democrats of America endorsed Obama this morning - but CNN doesn't mention it - but CNN makes an article out of a "touching moment"?

Aaron   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

The Democrat nominees have all done a great job with getting support from an ever wider support base and congratulations should go to them all for doing that, but the party officials them selves have done a lousy job of handling the process from start to finish and its difficult t to see at times if they are actual supporters of the Democrat party or are acting as saboteurs within it.

When it comes to the missing 178 delegates from the combined Florida and Michigan primaries, and when you reflect that this has came from about 1.2 million voters who actually voted for one of two the front runners. This has still to be resolved (due to the parties own mishandling of events, which is no fault of the voters who took part and took the time and trouble to have their votes placed). As far as the constitution goes its clear that on one has the right to disenfranchise those voters or the votes cast by any legitimate member of the population, and in one way or another votes placed must be counted, in this respect all of the voters in all the Stats have or should have under the constitution equal rights to have their votes counted and on one has the right to say otherwise, until all votes are treated equally its is not correct for the party to try and push the mater under the carpet.

In the past its was shown that it only took 538 votes to decided a Presidential election.! so lets hear all the information and lets keep it open till it is truly finished and a winner is announced that is legitimate, whoever it happens to be.

Cory Tapia   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

wow. how about wolf remove his lips from hillary's behind.

K.J., Dallas, TX   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

SD's please, please, please end this. If Sen. Clinton doesn't win the Democratice nomination, maybe she could win an emmy???

OBAMA, 2008!!!

Joe   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Go spin your garbage elsewhere Wolf. You are so clearly biased that I don't trust anything that comes out of your mouth, just like Hillary. Quit trying to affect the outcome and report the news. Obviously journalism does not teach integrity anymore.

sb   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Hillary Clinton chokes up, Hillary Clinton chokes up, Hillary Clinton Chokes up. CNN you should add 12 more stories covering the same topic and make it an even 20.

Beltway Insider   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Is this really worthy of two separate ticker articles? Or even one?

I understand Blitzer's blatant and, frankly, nauseating bias, but no matter how biased CNN is toward Clinton, you have to at some point realize this race is over and you're not doing anybody any good by constantly pushing all this Clinton-pandering BS down our throats.

Obviously, no one is buying it anyway.

Big Easy   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Good job Hillary. The only thing that trumps your strength is your tenderness as a mother.

Hillary 2008. Don't stop running. We will support you all the way to the white house.

Joyce   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

While her tears may have been sincere, she has lost so much credibility, dodging bullets in Belgrad and making peace in Ireland, one can only think they are just another ploy to get more votes - like in New Hampshire. It is truly sad to see this brilliant woman live in such a delusional reality as she clings to a race that is in fact over.

marilyn MD   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Wolf, get a grip, Hillary is finish …… repeat it after me…. now, close your eyes and repeat it again. Obama is goint to be your President.

tom   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

why putting this article twice and just changing title, there is nothing touching about this, she lost what is she still doing in the race. Today it's all about Clinton and her duaghter who cares about them we also have duaghters we love so dearly. 99% of today CNN news is about Clintons, shame on you all the way CNN. We want better news we are fade up of losers

Mac in Nova Scotia   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Wolf - Is Hillary offering you the press secretary's job? I hope so. That way we will see a lot less of you.

Robin, Ward Arkansas   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Lets play the sensitive mommy card! BS! I do admit, the nannies did a good job raising Chelsea.

ITS NOT 3AM, PLS WAKE HILARY UP FROM THE STATE OF DENIAL   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Im not surprised, you show your distaste for Obama when reporting

DJ in MI   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

I liked the way she ducked the "white-american" question.

Unbelievable   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Is this your idea of unbiased coverage? Would you gush all over Obama if he "moistened up"? I doubt it, he would be ridiculed as showing signs of weakness. I guess WB is nostalgic about the good old days spent apologizing for Bill when he was in office. Absolutely disgusting, I expect this kind of coverage from Stepanopoulas but not WB.

J   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

she makes it even more difficult to support her when she cries. so she's proud of her daughter, and she should be. that's what parents do. but if you want to be potus you look ridiculous if you get choked up every time you think something is really neat. and so then in turn, the usa looks ridiculous.

Phil From VA   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Cry your way out. Please. Stop being selfish. Get out.

Dr. Truth, Boston   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

bob from dover delaware   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

I think its interesting to see children of politicians and even movie stars or powerful people grow up. I wonder what makes them different from their parents. Many don't choose the same paths and others are not as sucessful but it seems like chelsea is doing pretty well.

Now let the Obamabots start trashing her. It's very sad to see the people who support the campaign of 'HOPE' be so hateful to Mrs. Clinton.

She is a mother and I have no doubt she is proud of her daughter. Give her a break, people. You candidate has won; it's time to let it go.

Independent for Obama   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

No matter what people have to say about the Clintons, with Chelsea, they've done a helluva job. How many parents can point to bringing up such a wonderful lady while having such a demanding and public careers.

Dylan   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

"Touching," Wolf?

I think the word you're looking for is "contrived."

Don't let her fool you.

Crocodile Tears at its finest! Give it a rest Hillary, your road trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ends soon. Obama 08′

Democrat21st century   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Wolf you can ask Clinton-how could she tout her experience and electability while her human resource management and financial management of her campaign is in mess and chaotic! Second, does she believe in bending the rules (DNC rules for FL and MI) just for narrow and personal gain?

Patriot   May 14th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Hilary is one of the best actresses in Washington DC; and you fell for another of her act. lol

SusanDemforLife   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Let the weeping begin…. we should see a lot more of this as she starts to accept or realize the White House may not be hers for the taking. There are a least five different scary personalities to this woman and I not sure which one the public will see more of as we near close to the June 5th deadline of the primaries.

We will probably end with the more known personality: the weeping nasty vengeful negative democrat we have all seen her revert to over the last 6 months

AC 360   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

And so….who cares!! You think it is family business.

Joe - Wilmington, DE   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I would love to believe the senator's sincerity during this interview(don't get me wrong, I am sure her love for her daughter is deep and undeniable and is certainly reciprocal) but given her track record of contrivance, faked outrage, tears seemingly on cue, etc…this seems another attempt to pull at the voter's heart strings.

It's time to stop.

Debby   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Great interview Wolf and good 2 questions from those people. Sen. Clinton is one smart woman.

Reginald Johnson   May 14th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

So What, Millions of other Americans around the country feel the same way about their children. Hillary gets no sympathy from me and why does CNN always try to make something out of nothing regardless of who the candidate is. I am voting for Obama but I do NOT want to here sympathy stories about him, I want to here about what our country has to do to get back on top again. We look at things in this country like we do cheap gold watches (if it looks real maybe I can fool people).

mitchell from arkansaw   May 14th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

we still love you hillary and chelsea ,but,we need you to support our nominee.

Linda   May 14th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Chelsea is an exceptional person to of had the parents she has.

Cold Hard Truth   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

This person clearly has no shame. As far as the daughter being impressive give me a break. She buckled under the first question pertaining to the Monica Lewinsky fiasco and she has now joined the ranks of liar in the family when she continued to support her mothers lie indirectly when she said nothing to correct the Bosnia sniper fire "misspoke". Chelsea was there and I am sure her memory of that incident was quite vivid. So in essence she kept up the lie which now places her in the same company as good old mom and dad. If you want a taste of what a future Clinton presidency will be like all you have to do is look at the pics of Chelsea at her finest making an appearance at the Kentucky derby in all her fine "elitist" glory.

Ann   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

She is the most selfish woman alive. What a disservice to future women who want the Whitehouse. It's over Hill. Roll out with what dignity you still have…

USAF Sr. Airman   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Hey CNN, how about some news. No. No news from CNN. Instead they post TWO stories on Clinton choking up.

I hate this saying, but today you have earned it:

CNN = Clinton News Network

Good job CNN for an extremely poor display of "journalism".

Sen. Clinton said that OPEC gets together to decide how much oil to produce and determine their price. The first part is correct, but the last part is just not true at all. The price of oil, like most commodities, are determined by speculators in the major stock exchanges. Sen. Clinton is too smart not to know this. The oil producers neither determine the price of the oil they sell, nor do they determine the price of such major capital purchases like military tanks, fighter jets, helicopters, etc. That sounds like double jeopardy.

Independent   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Boooooo Hooooo. Was she able to shed a tear or no?

Helen   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Come Wolf…remember the questioner who asked "how do you do it" and Hillary pushed out that fake sympathy mess.

Please stay focus and don't get caught in her web. Chelsea has not done anything that any other daughter wouldn't do for her mother.

Give me a break…Chelsea didn't even know how to answer questions from her own peers.

Two words: Monica Lewinsky

Mark Anthony   May 14th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Here we go with the tears and you know what that mean, all the oooooo,aaaaaa,mmmmmmmmm. Here they come, but the most important thing she said in interview was that it would be a "grave mistake" if her supporter voted for McCain in Nov.

Unify the party and stop with this stupid name calling and nonsense!

Darryl   May 14th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

She is unable to tell the truth she lied to coverup Bill Clinton Affair with Monica Lewinski, she lied about travelgate, she lied about whitewater, the Venice Foster killing and now she wants to be honest. I don't believe her….

Marlene   May 14th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

In the name of professional journalism, you might wish to make your bias towards the Clintons somewhat less obvious. It just might help repair your damaged credibility.

Mike from Westchester   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

Per CNN: Hillary Clinton said it would be a "terrible mistake" for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama. “I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me … understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama."

Sharon Minnesota   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

If Hillary only knew how the Obama people have trashed her, I'm not so sure she would have been so generous in the Wolf interview. She must not be reading CNN's blogs.

May 14th, 2008 4:19 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Hillary needs to read the CNN blogs to find out how the Obama supporters feel about her and her family. She may forgive but I do not.

May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
My first choice of a candidate for president is Hillary Clinton but I cannot agree with her that we should support Barack Obama. Realize it or not John McCain is closer to a moderate democrat than she can admit due to her commitment to the democratic party. I, on the other hand am not bound by any party any more. I used to be, sorry no longer.

The democratic party is like humpty dumpty broken and damaged beyond repair. I can't believe that the pundants and the DNC bigwigs are still trying to put it back together before the General Election.

Obama supporters have pushed the democratic humpty dumpty over the edge of the wall of hope and change with their hypocrisy.

Joe, Northern Virginia   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

and to think, Wolf, we thought you were part of the "educated americans"….can't believe you fell for this trick and actually reported it as "newsworthy".

BIBI HENNA   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

THANKS WOLF YOU FINALY GOTED.
THAT HILLARY IS GREAT.

raf   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

I love how Wolf says they talked about several substantive issues, but then he chooses to focus only on the emotional angle.

Good work, Wolf!

Sarah, Florida   May 14th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

DOES HILLARY REALLY BELIEVE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS???????!

SHE WANT TO OVERTURNED THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IN HER QUEST FOR POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE POPULAR VOTE HAVE SPOKEN######
THE NUMBER OF PLEDGE & ELECTED DELEGATES HAVE######
THE MAJORITY OF STATES WON HAVE SPOKEN#########

YET SHE SHOULD BE ELECTED BASED ON THE FACT THAT HER SUPPORTERS ARE RACIST; IT IS HER BIRTH RIGHT AND NOT BASED ON THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!!

fontapa   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Gee, what a hard hitting substantive question you tossed her there.

"So tell me, Candidate XYZ, how do you feal about springtime, babies, and rainbows?"

What's she gonna say, "nah, I hate the kid, really"???

One might ask what possible reason you'd ask it besides to generate EXACTLY the video-bite moment you did. What did you hope to acheive other than to engineer a "human" moment for her?

Just wondering if you think your job as a journalist should really be about asking rhetorical questions that are designed purely to help the candidate sell themselves.

Griff   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

It's a shame! She would make a Dam Good Republican. Still she has made her choice.. Whatever she does in the future.. The Door's will open wide… She is so genuine and sincere..

Moz   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I do think Clinton has found the right words for her daughter. Even though things are unclear for her mother, she has worked so much for her mother in hard hard time and she has bright future in politics of this nation. This is my opinion.

Ray Ito   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Yeah, she's an incredible mother - that what she should be. Not a U.S. president who's always tearing up before world leaders.

"Oh I remember when I visited your husband in the White House in 1993 - but he has white hair now, mamm." ( Then Hillary tearing up).

SHELIA   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

THANK YOU WOLF. I KNOW SHE LOVES HER DAUGHTER. SHE NEED TO BE TOUGHT IF SHE WANTS TO BE A PRESIDENT . I ADMIRE HER SHE IS SUCH A FIGHTER AND THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY FREE RIDE THE MEDIA GIVE OBAMA AND HOW THEY PUT HER DOWN SHE IS STANDING AND FIGHTING FOR WHAT SHE BELIVES. SHE REALLY WANT TO PUT UP THIS COUNTRY, IS JUST A PITY THAT SOME PEOPLE DO NOT SEE HOW MUCH THIS WOMAN LOVES THIS CONTRY AND WANT TO CHANGE AND WANT TO BRING UP THIS COUNTRY.IT REALLY COMES FROM HER HEART.SHE IS NOT DOING THIS BECAUSE SHE IS A POLICTIAN BECAUSE SHE CARES AND SHE WILL GIVE ALL HER BEST TO FIX THIS COUNTRY AGAIN. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THE DOMOCRAT PARTY GOING TO MAKE A MISTAKE AND WILL NOT BRING US NO WERE.

Ray Ito   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Yeah, she's an incredible mother - that's what she should be. Not a U.S. president who's always tearing up before world leaders.

say no to the haters!   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Ok Obama supporters. Don't start with all the hate. Give the lady some slack. She deserves our respect just like Obama is giving her. Unless you think he is just being a politician??? It is time to unify and she has called off the attack dogs and so has he.

Obama 08

Jeff   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Come on Wolf, get a clue. She played you just like she's been playing everyone else. HRC doesn't have a sincere bone in her body. I thought you knew better Wolf. You must be losing your edge.

Independent   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

It was a touching moment, and that was real. However, I do not believe what she said, and I blame her for dividing the Democratic Party. If the Democrats do not win, I will be pointing my findger directly at Sen. Clinton and hew campaign.

Tired of W, OH   May 14th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Seriously CNN. Why do you have 2 items in the ticker about Hillary getting choked up?!? Is it really that news-worthy?

not my real name because CNN censors me   May 14th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Wolf, you know I've watched you for years and honestly held you in very high regard until recently. Your obvious pandering to Clinton disgusts me and I find it offensive. You use words like "crush" and "landslide" to describe her victory in W. Virginia when we of intelligence know exactly why she won. You also know why she won. You're far from ignorant.
Report the truth Mr. Blitzer. It might well set you free.

Mike   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Obama supporters are missing having a great person as Hillary as our president. If Obama had not had backstabbed her and ran against her like he said he would not, I am sure she would have picked him as her VP and I would have voted for him after Hillary's terms were up.

As it stands now, I will never, ever vote for Obama.

Kristin from Dallas   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

First of all, I am an Obama supporter, but I thought this was a good interview and I was pleased with the tone.

Mr. Blitzer, I do have one question though, why didn't you jump on her statement regarding the required number of delegates? Senator Clinton said that 2209 delegates were needed to become the nominee as if that were always the number, not 2026 (which includes the new Representative from Mississippi).

Tony Z- MD   May 14th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

Why does she believe that she would? There is nothing to support her claim. She has been in elected office 6 years.

NANITO   May 14th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

I THINK THIS IS ANOTHER DISPLAY OF MANUFACTURED EMOTION. SHE DOES THESE THINGS VERY EASILY, WITH NO GUILT OR SHAME. REMEMBER THAT SHE LIED, WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, ABOUT DUCKING AND RUNNING TO AVOID SNIPER FIRE IN BOSNIA.

gobsmacked   May 14th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Great she's a human being with real emotions. She still has other qualities that are less desirable. Dishonesty, ruthlessness are a couple that come to mind. Not to mention entitlement…should I go on?

TH   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

THE CLINTONS ARE FULL OF IT.

Berat (Pronounced buh-RAHT), Park Ridge, IL   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Wolf, you are useless. Why didn't you ask her if she felt like this was New Hampshire when she "choked up?"

Sorry, Hillary supporters, but this is ridiculous. I simply don't understand why she'd tear up, except that here, they might be the real tears of one who is nearing the end of his/her journey. That being the case, she's run a fine, if fatally flawed, campaign, and she's coasting down now to a comfortable 35mph before shutting down the car altogether.

LR Dallas   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Dont' we all have two sides. Her's is just a little rougher than most. Just as Obama has a hard line that he has to walk, so does Hillary. Unfortunately, Hillary can break down and be human. However, how would American react if Obama was to show any real emotion everytime he has to hear all the polls that show americans wont vote for him based on race. I guess it's easier to find humanity in a tough woman than it is to find a little for the african american candidate.

dz in Austin   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

This is not an excuse for the Obamanutz to call her names, make fun of her, or try to portray this as a political ploy. Shame on you if you do.

I'm a strong, thoughtful (surprise!) educated woman and I get misty eyed over my children. Not for any policital advantage, or for sympathy. It's pride. I hope you have some in your children. I even hope you children still have pride in you when this is all over.

jenkins   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I'm rethinking my support for Obama.

Steve   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

It's very nice to know that a tough, seasoned political journalist like yourself, Wolf can also be a man of deep feelings. Good for you for sharing those feelings. Your mom should be proud of you, as well!

bash   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Booh hoo, Hillary cries–again. Iguess this will buy her a few votes somewhere. In Scranton it was Boilermaker Betty,then she became the paner bear on the back of a pick up truck and we get the warm and fuzzy cookie baker. I know that there are many aspects to each person but unfortunately to me all aspects of Hillary seem contrived and phony.

Amber   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I LOVE HILLARY CLINTON! And Chelsea for that matter. I am so excited to go home and watch your interview w/ her tonight Wolf. :)

I'm all smiles. She is the most amazing woman! It brings tears to MY eyes to watch and listen to her.

Thank you for not being amongst the Obama-loving, Hillary-hating journalists this year. You are one of 3 that I still have respect for!!! And that hateful, pessimistic Jack Cafferty…he has no place on a show like yours. I often wonder "why" him, Wolf? Moron.

HILLARY 2008 (lovin' you Sen. Clinton)

Ardnuas   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

It's touching to YOU because you are trying to get her elected. When she said the delegates needed to win is 2209…. YOU said NOTHING, you know is 2025!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

4 Hillary   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

I watched your video, Wolf. Great. Can't wait to see the whole thing on my DVR tonight when I get home.

I know she wants us all to unify. But I'm a die-hard supporter and I can't vote for Obama. I'll write Hillary's name in on the ballot if she's not the VP. I just can't stand Obama AT ALL.

When in our history has there ever been a nomination race this tight? And if there was - did the media and party leaders try to force the candidate out of the race? I doubt it.

Hillary's been treated too unfairly throught this process.

mario   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

hillary we love you , you must be nominee , keep going and superdelegates will support you

george   May 14th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

What a joke. Lets get the tissues yet again. And lets talk about Chelsea but not about who you can't win this race. What a joke Blitz.

Damion K. Miles   May 14th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

For anybody who thinks that gender doesn't play a role in this, you're crazy. How many people would have ridiculed a male nominee for crying on national television? He would be considered weak! If a woman cries, she emotional. This country is not ready for our leader to cry in front of the whole world. To paraphrase Tom Hanks' character in A League of Their Own…"there's no crying in politics". Save that for behind closed doors, Hillary. Your husband did some of the worst things that a husband could do to his wife and you didn't bat an eye. But, in this election you've cried at least twice. What is it with you?

MK   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Please don't bring emotions into this. It's just not the place. Wolf, be fair, and ask Obama about his family as well.

tom   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

so what many mothers are

carolyn   May 14th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

I love Hillary as a person and a mom and a all around human being. I'll behind her all the way. I refuse to vote for obama not because he's black ,I just feel that it would end up being another carter presidency. I also think he doesn't have the experience to handle the repubs. They'll eat him up and we'd still end up with the repubs running the country.

Chelsea 2020   May 14th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Wolf,
I think Chelsea do not deserve to leave the whitehouse. It is breaking her mother's hearth.
Maybe if Hillary can't win now, we will vote for Chelsea in 2020.

Clintons-Bushs for ever!

She's still losing!   May 14th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Get off her bra strap please. She's still behind in EVERY way and yet she gets treated as the winner. The media really should stop adding to her false hopes of winning this election.

RT   May 14th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

WHY IS CNN STILL REPORTING STORY AFTER STORY ABOUT CLINTON. SHE IS DONE. ITS OVER. SHE'S A "HAS-BEEN". YOU ARE THE ONLY POLITICAL NEWS ORGANIZATION GIVING HER THE TIME OF DAY. EVERYONE ELSE IS FOCUSED ON THE GENERAL ELECTION. STOP KEEPING HER CAMPAIGN ON LIFE SUPPORT. PULL THE PLUG!!!!

AH   May 14th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Still grinding the same message. If she's the stronger candidate against McCain, why has she never polled higher than Obama in national polls?

I hope she's sincere about Chelsea, but I'm not buying it. I'm sure she's proud of her, but her tears have always been so strategic. I kind of wish the media would quit reporting on it… CNN has 2 articles posted for crying out loud.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

EVEN MORE NEW NEWS FROM: HUFFINGTON POST:

The Obama campaign has announced a "major national endorsement" for a rally tonight at 7pm in Michigan, and the rumor mill is swirling that it is none other than Sen. John Edwards. Time's Mark Halperin is teasing as much at his Web site, with a photo of Edwards and the text, "Ready to choose? Ready to hope?"

Edwards has certainly dropped some hints in recent days. He's chided Hillary Clinton over her comments about race, said he can't figure out how Clinton could ever win the nomination, and even said he planned to endorse the person he voted for in North Carolina's primary, using (it seems) the word "him."

RT   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

M. BLITZER,
I love your emissions and your interventions. I follow all your interviews that you master so well, but please, we have to adjusat our mind by admitting Senator Barak as winner.
If Barak was at the place of Hillary, he will dropped from the race along time ago.
She should admit his experience but she is pretentious, selfish and stuburn

IT IS CLEAR THAT HILLARY DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEMOCRACY?

SHE WANTS TO OVERTURN THE PROCESS IN HER QUEST FOR POWER!

I think she should see it through to the end of the race. She is an incredible candidate and competitor.

Belle   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Wolf,
Thank you for the interview with Senator Clinton.

But I have a question for CNN. Why can't you just take the candidate's words for what they are….the explanations for what they really mean?

Why do you have to call in analysts to dissect every single line or comment?

Do you really believe your viewers aren't smart enough to make their own judgments?

Heidi in Houston   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Sorry about the earlier sound effects from me, but I truly don't believe her anymore when it comes to human emotion. I've been duped by this once already. I think it was back in NH.

Yes……it is something ever mother looks forward to with their child or children…..That moment that the child and mother can come toghter on the same page working together and looking for the same out come….thats a moment that you can look back as a mother and think about it with much pride in your child ….so …..This is a moment that Hillary will have with her forever…..and what a moment it is……..

Concerned Canadian   May 14th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Gee …I hope the Obama supporters don't come on here too and call Hillary all sorts of dirty names and use all sorts of vulgarity and say untruths about a person they do not even personally know.

What harm has Hillary done to anyone ? Thats right..nothing..I thought so.

Laura   May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

I hate when she does this! She tugs at my heartstrings and makes me feel guilty for not supporting her.

I am 110% behind Senator Obama and have been for a while now, but I do respect Senator Clinton, and I feel bad for her. I know how long she has planned for this and I think she bears a lot of the blame for running on a strategy of inevitability and expecting a coronation instead of a competitive primary. That being said, it will be sad to watch her give up her dream if she eventually drops out. I hate that we had to choose between her and Obama this year.

TED   May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Hillary we will always love ya! But I can't vote for Obama he doesn't represent my view of the great counrtry.

JR Veteran from New York City, NY   May 14th, 2008 5:11 pm ET

Mr. Wolf, Mr. John King, and the rest of the CNN, please continue the good works that you have been doing for the Clintons. They deserved CNN admiration. I don't understand that you all cannot comprehend that it's over for Senator Clinton. Give her any airtime that she wanted to. Pump her like a balloon and make her ego by the size of China. All that won't help. Advise her to leave the race!

Amanda   May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Dear Wolf Blitzer

Hillary Clinton is not going to win the nomination no matter how desperately you attempt to change the dynamic by inducing another touching 'New Hampshire' moment.

End of story.

me in dc   May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Another New Hampshire moment brought to you by Hillary Clinton.

Ronald   May 14th, 2008 5:12 pm ET

Oh please Wolf, your bulge is showing.

Bobby tray   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Sigh. .. . Clinton is like that relative you try to avoid at family functions. But guess who is there right in front of you when you leave the bathroom.

Indy Voter   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Wow Wolf! Why don't you just ask her to marry you?

s. chamberlain   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Everyone keeps bring up the fact that Florida and Michigan's votes should be counted but there is another large set of Americans who were not even allowed to vote due to the state they reside in. Rules are rules…if those two states are counted, then the registered Independents who were denied this privledge should be allowed to vote. All Americans should have the freedom to vote in the primaries and have their choice counted.

NY Dem   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Very nice.. Indeed, very touching. I wish her well!

Time to unite the party!

Obama 2008/2012!!!

sara michelle b.   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Thank you for sharing your first hand account of the moment, Wolf. It is touching and very real.

Charlotte   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Wolf, don't you know she is not allowed to feel emotional. The Obama-bots will call her names again, as in the past. They will call a brief moment of emotion as major tears. Why is Obama suddenly wearing a flag pin? He wouldn't be pandering now would he? Nah, he's above that

NickNas   May 14th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

BS

Bella H.   May 14th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Only a politician would be so crude and tasteless as to use her child to get votes in an election. The Clintons are truly the scum of the earth.

As usual, Wolf is in the tank for Hillary. No news here.

Jane   May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Disingenuous

I Believe   May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

I actually believe her feelings are real and the emotion is genuine. She's a mom and her daughter is a joy for her. Stop diminishing that with the nasty comments.

I am not a Hillary supporter but she does deserve respect. There has been a lot of sexist crap in this primary and is has been overlooked and race took the front burner.

She has done something that has never done before, she can be proud of that. I give her that. Now it is time for her to quietly, and mean quietly, finish the rest of the states voting and end her campaign.

Bob   May 14th, 2008 5:16 pm ET

Come on Wolf, don't tell me you are falling for the tears gig…Surely sane rational people won't fall for that old chestnut again!

The Rat   May 14th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Who moved my cheese? That is a good book. Sort of like as soon as I get near the goal someone moves the goal posts. Man you have to feel for Hillary. If she doesn't cry she is a hard women. If she does
cry she is too soft to be President. Can't win for nothing.
So now we only have one choice. John S. McCain.

Isn't it a bit selfish to waste millions upon millions when it's been obvious for quite a while that it's over? Who and what does such frivolity serve?

Great interview! If only she was more like this on the campaign trail - she wouldn't have turned so many people off.

I'm for Obama - but I'd vote for her if she won.

And I'm a mother of a daughter - so her reaction was not fake, it was real pride and real love.

I wish my vote would count like yours....from Florida   May 14th, 2008 5:19 pm ET

Wow CNN you already removed my posting just because I said CNN is BIAS

It is obvious that CNN loves to report every little thing that HILLARY does. Now the headlines for today is Hillary's eyes gets moist and she is emotional. I can't beleive it. It was also reported that she won a big victory in Virginia and it was really a small win if that. How luck she is to be so favored by CNN. Does this mean her daughter qualify for VP of the US now.

And with John Edwards endorsement of Obama, today, the last of the pieces have fallen into place. Obama '08

CRY CRY CRY

I want to know 1 thing, is she goin to be responsible for paying her debt or is the public goin to have to bale her out. I hope not. As far as I'm concerned if she wants to continue to run ALL her advertising should be cash up front. NO MORE CREDIT FOR HER. 10million is already to much debt

So, this is the opposite side of Hillary from that MEET ME IN OHIO!

Surely this woman is BIPOLAR!

It is very good to see how much Senator Clinton loves her daugher. It is also terrific to see the way the Chelsea Clinton supports her mother. That is the way it should be.

I am a strong, dedicated supporter of Senator Obama. That will not change, ever.

That does not mean that I can't be moved by family caring and love when I see it. All of the candidates are trying their hardest. They have put it all on the line and they will all be bruised and battered before this is over. I respect all three (Obama, Clinton and McCain) for daring to try to lead this nation.

We all watched Chelsea grow up. She is a great American daughter and we can all be proud of her.

Go Obama!!!

so ridiculous how CNN wants to play nicey nicey with hillary now after months of completely biased campaign coverage in favor of obama.

here come the no-life hillary haters….

I can't believe how most americans can be shallow. americans voted for bush for 2 terms against Kerry. Now americans are voting for obama - based on his charms and rhetoric speeches. Please look past beyond the appearance. Hillary , obviously has the experience of how to get things done in the white house (she has travelled accross the world and got to see and experience what is working and not working in this country). Her commitment of helping people even from her early years justifies how she wants America to go in the right direction - that is solving the real problems - jobs, global warming, healthcare, education, oil, retirements…..american needs real solutions…

Hillary 08

Obama supporters are unkind and consistently have UGLY remarks about Clinton….I will NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, because I do not want a President that attract these types of people…including Rev. Wright and all of the others….unify the Democrats how? with people like that are so unkind I don't think so………

HILLARY OR BUST

SDW   May 14th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Oh, please! Here we go again! She is such an actress! Hey, that's it! Since this Presidency thing is not working out, how about taking your behind to Hollywood, Hillary. You would do really well there! Just a suggestion . . . . .

OBAMA SUPPORTER   May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

JOHN EDWARDS JUST ENDORCEDS OBAMA

YEAAAAAAAAAAA

Jeff, Hampshire, IL   May 14th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Barack doesn't cry.

Georgia for Change   May 14th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

She should be proud of her daughter. They have raised her well. Now is the time to demonstrate humility and consideration of the greater good. Her lesson to Kelsey now is to bow out with grace, and mend fences for that greater good — Barack Obama's chance to be elected President in November.

Good observation Wolf.

There is absolutely nothing wrong reflecting on the humanity that is rarely seen.

Every Wilson   May 14th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

I do not trust Hillary Clinton, she is a liar, thief, deceiver, charlatan, hypocrite, bigot, divisive, polarizing, manipulator and a strong candidate for racist whites in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states to be President of the United States. I can see how she will bring the country together now! Her tears, I believe were for real, no more campaigning, no white house, no presidency and no 2012 run because she messed that up too!

faye, NV   May 14th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Hillary that was a dumb thing you said, I feel that you begin all the racist comment. You have divided the party and you feel that you are better then Obama, not just as a better person for president but better all aro
