Hey Nick in Las Vegas -

If Clinton stands – there will be so many HATERS of Clinton as she has revealed her real self in this election process

- a cheater
- a liar
- game changer
- rule changer
- power monger
- divisive (dividing the country along racial and gender lines)
- no ethical / moral standards

I lost all my respect for Clintons including Bill Clinton.

Clinton really is delusional. If Hillary is all about counting every vote then why would she exclude hundreds of thousands of voters who voted in caucuses? How does that even make any sense? Let's count two states that didn't follow rules, don't give Obama any votes at all in MI (even though Clinton got only 54% with him not even on the ballot), and then exlude over a quarter of the states that voted and followed the rules for no reason.

Wait, so you will count the states that broke the DNC rules, but not count the caucus states that followed the rules? Unbelieveable!!!

If you are going to stay in then be honest with the race.

And Nick, what was the point of voting if you discount the math and process that puts Obama over the top???

she crazy, she needs to go back to school,she cant add

The fact that Obama was scared enough to hold Edwards In his pocket until after Hillary crushed him In WV tells me she is more of a threat to him then his supporters want to admit. Just the same old political game. He just has Edwards wait to cushion the blow. "looking to the future" Obama? I think not.

Terry McAulife's ADHD rants and he and Hillary's belligerent march on a road that is running out of bricks is bordering on the pathological and is becoming quite scary. There is a thin line between sanity and insanity. They are both dangerously close to crossing it.

i TAKE THAT BACK.

Sorry, I left out 2 important words. That should have read:

… the "total popular vote" FOR OBAMA should include another 600,000 votes from caucus states that nobody is counting.

Sen. Clinton Please, how ridiculous, Laughable, delusional, dumb and stupid!

obama 08

Please, give it a rest!

Hillary, it is NOT your time – move on.

OK, this is just stupid. I guess Edwards knows a winner when he sees one and McAuliffe doesn't.

Nick in Las Vegas is asking a very odd question. "The math" is also known as "votes cast." So let's rephrase his question: "Should he be the nominee just because of votes cast for him?" Um…

The audacity of hope vs. the audacity of hype.

Yet another example of the Clinton campaign putting their fingers in their ears and humming loudly. So all those states that held caucuses and not primaries don't count? So much for "every vote counts". How about "only votes for me count". What is this, Russia?

@ Nick in Las Vegas

It's completely a matter of the math. The nominee needs a certain number of delegates at the Democratic National Convention. There are no other factors.

Do you even understand how this process works?!!?

It's kind of funny now that it doesn't matter.

Just when I was about ready to make a donation to the joint Dem fund to help Hiillary repay her debts this same old tired argument comes out again. The Hillary campaign blames Obama for disenfranchising the FL/MI voters (even though that is not true) yet they disenfranchise all caucus voters. Don't people see the irony in that?

On a separate note, if I start to see Hillary supporters back off the 'I'm going to vote McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination' rhetoric I will gladly contribute to the joint fund that will repay her campaign debt.

i STAND UP. i THINK SHES NOT.

I’m democrat but will NEVER EVER vote for Obama, because:
1. Obama has never done any job from starting to the end
2. He is a walkie-talkie
3. He has no political ideas at all
4. He was rised by Chicago mafia politicians
5. His wife Michelle takes bribes
6. His portfolio is thinner than a sheet
7. He ruined the party with all those betrayers like Richardson, Pelosi, Kennedy ans so on

So if Clinton is not chosen or the results are falsified (as Dean & Co try hard) then I vote for Nader or write-in Clinton

Ahead as a legend in your own mind

Yeah yeah… Hillary please stop.

This is sooooooo stupid………………You don't win based on popular vote….. We go by delegates
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

Say anything . . .

At the beginning of this Primary contest I liked both candidates. Although I was an Obama supporter, I would have voted for Clinton had she gotten the nomination.

Now all that has changed. After the dirty, slimy, politics as usual campaigning the Clintons have done I will never think of them the same way. I now see them for what they really are. They have no integrity, dignity, or ethics. She is so obsessed, blinded by her own ambition and out of control ego that she is borderline mentally ill.

I am not the only person who feels this way. My family and some co-workers have been totally turned off for good by the Clintons ruthless, dirty campaigning. They are disgusted by her now. She is thought of as a sore loser who will not concede until she is carried out bodily at the convention.

If she gets the nomination, I will not vote for the first time in my life. I know others as well who will sit this one out if she steals the nomination. She has lost, she needs to accept that. Just because it is her dream, doesn't mean it's the American peoples dream. We need someone with intregrity.

What a joke.

Choke on Hill,,,,you should have seen it coming,,,the math is against you,,,argh get lost,,,,now like everyone else,,step aside and let history blaze the path,,,,,,,GO BARACK!!!!

Obama 08/12

Ii STAND UP.i THINK SHES NOT.

Hillary is 20 million in debt. I wonder why she would want to continue fund raising and campaigning….hmm…

Sad that there's a lot of people out there who believe this "fifth scenario." It's ridiculous. And to Nick in Las Vegas– yes, Obama should win because of the math. That is the system, that is how it works. Superdelegates are part of that math, they are there to overturn the vote of the people if they feel necessary… and even they now are leaning towards Obama. This race is over.

LOL Billary is a JOKE, maybe now Wolf Blitzer can stop sucking up to Billary and get that stuff of his nose!

………………………sigh…………………………….

Nick In Las Vegas, are you drunk or high in drugs? Which planet do you live in? Hillary supporters needs to get their heads examined.

i strongly believe that Mc Cain will win if Obama is the nominee i garantee is….. hispanics will go to Mc Cain and many of the votes hillary is getting will go to Mc Cain.i am hispanic and will be voting for Mc Cain is Hillary is not on the ballot. No matter of Edwards endorsment to Obama.

Edwards couldn't win with the other liberal elitist…….could he?
Seeing that his voters went to Clinton…..what exactly is he trying to accomplish…….????

I'm sorry but this is why Senator Clinton gets so much negative talk about her. This is exactly the reason why because of statements like this. So you want to count the votes in Florida and Michigan and leave out the thousands of voters in Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, Washington etc etc. She continues to mock the Democratic party and their voters. The campaign either thinks people are stupid or are just downright delusional.

Fuzzy and Corrupt Math: I am so glad she and her advisers will not be goin gto the White house.

Okay, she's leading by what? If Michigan and Florida's flubbed primaries were counted? I live in Florida, most of the Democrats stayed home. I keep hoping she'll just accept defeat and help the Democrats win, but she is so selfish she cant just let go.

Oh wow! She's really trying. "I'm ahead by my own(biased) counts"…she is too desperate, I don't know how her supporters are NOT seeing this. It's ok Hill. Obama will STILL win anyway…she needs to leave

Just when I was about ready to make a donation to the joint Dem fund to help Hiillary repay her debts this same old tired argument comes out again. The Hillary campaign blames Obama for disenfranchising the FL/MI voters (even though that is not true) yet they disenfranchise all caucus voters. Don't people see the irony in that?

On a separate note, if I start to see Hillary supporters back off the 'I'm going to vote McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination' rhetoric I will gladly contribute to the joint fund that will repay her campaign debt.

she is a joke,… if she is president we will look like fools

Democrats, we need to come together. Stop bashing each other.

Now I don't like Edwards. He could have waited until after every last American has voted including Florida and Michigan to endorse Obama. He is just as dumb as the DNC, Barack and his supporters. BARACK CANNOT BEAT MCCAIN!!!!

I guess calling herself ahead in the popular vote is just a medium-sized fib ….as opposed to a small NAFTA fib or a big Bosnia sniper-sized fib.

Hillary has the hightest popular vote with michigan and florida, even with obamas illegal caucus votes. I doubt cnn will post this.

It's too late to use that pitch to sway voters, and the superdelegates aren't that stupid.

DELUSIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……….. THATS ALL I CAN SAY, EVERYONE CAN HAVE THEIR OWN SCENARIOS BUT THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, AND THAT ONE IS THE SCENERIO SET BY DNC

It is really amazing how delusional the Clinton campaign folks have become. It is an insult to our intelligence to believe that any such white lies would have any traction!!! Trash!

Pathetic.

Why Edwards and Richardson endorsing Obama after their states primary finish
If they endorsed before the primary it may help
Edwards is not a supper delegate

I check the popular vote today morning She is leading now
my vote for Hillary or Mc Cain

More LIES LIES LIES from Hillary!?? How surprising! NOT!

OBAMA – EDWARDS '08 & '12

Disingenous at best…

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT HAS SENATOR EDWARDS RUNNING WITH THEM!! SENATOR EDWARDS IS JUST LOOKING FOR A VP SPOT!! Guaranteed!!!!

ridiculous.

Is Sen. Clinton dizzy, yet?
Because she's been doing a whole lot of spinning!

LOL,

Hillary's campaign is becoming almost laughable. Again, more half-truths. Nick, I'm sad to say, but it appears Hillary's campaign is discounting your voice (and vote) in the Caucus state of Nevada to make her numbers "appear" better than they actually are.

Maybe we can use her math to balance the budget!
Also, how is she the best if 1) she can't obtain enough financial support to support her own campaign 2) her experience is based upon being first lady of Arkansas and the US 3) she can't win over independants who will flock to McCain rather than support her?

Thanks for the insightful analysis CNN! It's great that you're giving us the facts and letting us decide which argument we think holds the most water.

Pathetic on all counts. Why do you think Politicians get reputations as inauthentic, or, to speak more plainly– as Liars (?)

Hillary should run as VP with McCain. Each are trying their best to damage the Democratic Party.

All these superdelegates and John Edwards needed to have waited..They are trying to not let the people have there chance to vote.. Bad move Edwards…You are a hypocrite…Losers Backing a loser.

Ask John Edwards he knows better

this is totally ridiculous

I can support either Barrack or Hillary. However, it is clear to me that Barrack Obama will be the nominee of the Democratic Party and hopefully the next President. It's time to unite folks and not allow a third Bush term with the election of John McCain. This type of playing with numbers is no longer acceptable and quite frankly shouldn't even be reported;

Nick in Las Vegas, If the nominee is "supposed to SELECTED" why do we the people need to vote?

Their is officially no candidate in this race with the courage to put an end to Americas continued Human Rights violations againts Homosexuals. It is time for the bloody revolution to begin.

Let's (the heads) Roll!!!!

That's what Al Gore said and where is he now?

I thought these were smart educated people. Where did they get such mathmatical calculations? For Christ sake can the super delgates intervene before this power hungry people hijack this election. Now I mad as hell. I can't continue to listen to these kinds of things. It can make som one go crazy.

Gr8! Then you wont be needing my vote in Kentucy.

My God, My God

Why has she forsaken us!!!

This woman is unbelievable.

She has the nerve to come up with these projections? How can she look herself in the mirror each day?

So, let me understand this…if she was the nominee and John McCain beat her in the GE, how will she change the count of the electoral votes? Hillary has turned out to be a real disgrace to the Democracy of this country.

And not only should Barack not ask her to be the VP, but under no circumstances should he pay any of her self inflicted debt.

When people say she deserves to stay in because she fights for us, I will never understand how people can see that and say that after all the lies she has told and been exposed for during this campaign.

God help us all and please help Hillary Clinton come to a place of reality.

***The fourth scenario does not give Obama any votes out of Michigan***

This is why she is losing. This is why people say she is not trustworthy.

This election is a Joke.Hillary you need to run as a independent so that real democrats will have are votes counted.Please do it just to show all these people who have turned their backs on you.Let's turn this election upside down.We will never vote for Obama!

You Folks just don't get it. As a minority and a woman I understand where Hillary is coming from. After all is said and done Hillary will still fight for the rights of children and women in this country as she did in Arkansas. To bad it will be our loss.

Please stop the "SPIN." If it was only Hilary running for the White House. Why do you think Bill has been so upset the last few months? He is watching is third and fourth terms go down the drain.

So much about 'We want all voters to be heared'
All voters do not include those in Iowa, Nevada, Washington & Maine!
We are actually seeing who wants to disenfrachise millions of Americans.

Pathetic!

Terry McAuliffe must be in charge of her campaign budget also. That is why it is in the whole $20 million!!! How in the world does he figure that she has the won the popular vote?!

If you count Michigan and Florida without counting the caucus states then Clinton is ahead by 29,000 votes, certainly not over 200,000.

If you don't count the caucus states then it is just as bad as ignoring MI and FL, it is essentially robbing four states of their say, and THEY voted fairly.

If you count Michigan and Florida AND the caucus states then Obama is leading by 80,000+

Even so, you can't give him ZERO popular vote in Michigan, so the number is actually much higher.

if Clinton can't do simple math, then how can she run our country?

Ridiculous, this woman and her campaign are absolutely nuts. Why don't they just crown her in August and spare America a November vote!!!

Clinton, the best person to fight McCain! I would'nt be suprised if she took the lead. She has the true potential to bring a change.

This is just silly. If they want to "count everybody" then they can't make their own defenition of everybody. McAuliffe would probably find a way to say that pawns can move anywhere on a chess board. They don't seem to understand that when you sign up for a set of rules those are what you have. i wonder how he would argue at a blackjack table. Maybe bust is at 19 or 23?

Do you even hear yourself? Should he wn b/c he's in the lead…you sir are truly pathetic! With people like yourself the Democratic party is better off w/o you, if cheating is the way to win.

Just because pretty boy Edwards wants obama, that don't mean crap, Mrs Edwards wants Hillary. You notice Mrs Edwards wasn't at the obama rally today, Why?

With folks like Terry Mcauliffe and Lanni Williams, its no wonder the Hillary campaign just plain sucks. They live in "bizarro world", where nothing is what is seems, and seems what it is.

Hill,
No you aren't! LOL You are an idiot.

Um, yes, he should be the nominee "just because of the math" because this is the United States of America, a federal republic, and that's how it works here. Are you kidding me?

This is why she is losing. Enough said…

Hillary, please don't forget about my vote in the caucus as you work your math. Our election was valid, unlike Michigan and Florida's.

shameful and pathetic. please respect the dignity of the people who have supported you Hillary and please represent them with the respect they deserve. leave in an honourable way and support the party you claim to support. don't try to break it in two. to use your own quote on you "shame on you!".

Obama '08

Where did clinton and her supporters learn math ? mind blowing mathematics by the clintons

what has clinton done? absolutely nothing. why would anyone want to have another long time useless politician in the white house? are we magically going to see gas prices drop to $1.50 a gallon with her in office?

What has she done? she is worthless and so is the rest of washington. it is amazing all you hillary supporters think we'll get back to basics with her, like hell.

they are all elitists. multi millionaires with nothing but power hungry lips.

Desperate Hillary will do whatever it takes to win, including destroying the Democrat party. The supers or the next states to vote can solve this stupidity..or you can be accomplices. I'm losing faith in this party because of the way they operate, as well as their crazy rules. McCain looks better with every day.

I will not vote for Obama! Edwards has made a terrible choice that is going to bit him right in the rear . Obama is right he's not a negative campaigner because he's Dirty one . They have done Clinton Dirty and she's pouring her heart out, with all these people bad mouthing her and putting her down she's still fighting on.

How can the Clintons pretend to care so much about Florida and Michigan (two contests she had earlier said should not count) and then have the nerve to suggest that the voters in 14 caucus states don’t matter: Iowa, Nevada, Maine, Colorado, North Dakota, Kansas, Idaho, Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska, Washington, Wyoming, Hawaii, Texas. She is pathetic, unAmerican, and would be a horrible choice for VP.

Nick in las vegas you are an idiot. The election process was not created for any other purpose than counting votes to declare delegates. The media has tried to inplant other factors so people will think its okay to take the election from the black guy

I think that's only if she doesn't give Obama any of Michigan, right? It's been a little tough to watch the rules change so much as this election. I just hope that in the end we can all come together and vote for the Democratic cantidate!

One America! Please drop it, this is ridiculous at this point and everyone else knows it.

And to Nick in Vegas…uh sweetie. Obama has been selected, I think 32 states have made their case loud and clear. This is about delegates and HRC was leading in them you wouldn't even be having this convo. Please get a life or better yet threaten to vote McCain like all the rest and be gone!

YET ANOTHER LIE FROM THE CLINTON CAMP!!!!!

MAYBE THIS IS WHY HER CAMPAIGN IS IN SO MUCH DEBT TO THE TUNE OF OVER $20 MILLION, THEY CAN'T COUNT!!!

It's nice of them to exclude all those caucus states that voted against them. That's real nice. Or, actually, insulting.

I will not comment on this article.

Go Obama

The only purpose of CNN reporting this has to be to show how absolutely absurd the Clinton campaign is. So the Clinton campaign sets the rules for everyone based upon what works for them?

One word… Ridiculous…

Yeah in what world? Poor lady.

…. LOL SPIN CITY.

people will laugh this off and go back to watching Edwards endorsing Obama.

So, Terry McAuliffe is using statistics from Bizarro World?

Stop confusing ignorant people.

It really doesn't matter now. Obama's bandwagon is full and with that kind of power on it, he'll probably be the nominee. Too bad he can't win the general election.

SPOILER:

This section will now devolve into a shouting match between people with no control over the country or its election, leading to nothing of consequence.

Have fun!

The DNC rigged this election from the very beginning!! The democrats have lost all the respect I had for them.

Get a life Billary. Why don't you retire and file for social security benefits.

Man, I have one word, LOL.

Keep going Hillary.

Kentucky and Puerto Rico keep you ahead in the final popular vote count.

wat a fraud.

This kind of thing just makes her look like a sore loser. It's like losing a basketball game, but then saying that if the three point line had been a little closer to the basket, then you'd have had a higher score. And the bad part is, she's now behaving as if the three point line IS closer, so she DOES have a higher score and that everyone should agree with her, even though we all know where the three point line really is.

I want to respect you Senator Clinton, but these kinds of things make it hard to do…

This is getting really sad now. At first it was just annoying, but now it is getting to be ridiculous!

To Nick in Las Vegas,

Millions of voters voted for Barack Obama, that's why he is ahead. He has been selected by millions of voters in this country, not the party. Those delegates are his because of me, my family, my friends and millions of others in states all over the country.

HRC is delusional. But, whatever helps her sleep at night, I'm not one to stop her.

I can't seem to get a pro-Hillary comment posted – why is that?

This race is far from over. Hillary is the only democratic candidate that can beat John McCain. She has won a huge number of popular votes and the large states like CA,NY,TX,OH, etc. Whatever the scenario, she is correct that all the voices of voters should be heard, and this should not be decided in a back room by the superdelegates. If they do that, I AM voting for McCain! And who cares about John Edwards' endorsement – another loser!

The Hillary campaign will stop at nothing taking all desperate measures – it's over. MOVE ON we have a nominee! And, please do not put Hillary on the ticket –

White women for Obama!

OBAMA/EDWARDS – 2008!!!!

Yes, Nick. Clearly she would perform better against McCain.
She is only losing the primary, the popular vote, and has performed poorer in polls matching her up against McCain than Obama.
But seriously, what alternate universe do Clinton supports live in?

LIES, LIES, LIES. The nominee is elected not selected.

"figures never lie, but liars often figure"
Mrs. Clinton, do the honorable thing and quit the campaign and try to do good work in the Senate.

She is playing the number game again. She should go Vegas. It's just too much now she needs to go.

Obama supporters lets stop responding to these blogs negatively towards Sen Clinton and her campaign. Sen Obama is going to get the nomination so lets move on from here.

Obama'08

Hillary announces she has won the general election!

I have been a Dem for over 50 years, and will vote Mccain in Nov if Hillary is pushed out by all those old Geasers in washington

Correct!!

Well, at this moment John Edwards is speaking at an Obama event in Michigan and he is about to endorse Obama. That should tally about 19 pledged delegates to the Obama camp. I would love and EDWARDS-OBAMA ticket! Edwards was going to be my choice if he was still in the race because I didn’t think Obama would come this far.

Clinton has lost. Everyone in the old media is too delusion or too in bed with Washington to report this obvious fact. This country is in shambles.

Florida and Michigan clearly mater, but not states that hold caucuses. By the way, don't feed on CNN's story that the party is divided. Just remember that the Republicans had to settle with John McCain. We're still in a battle over which cannidate we like MORE.

If an a delusional politician faux cries in the woods, does anybody care?

NIck,

In this case, yes it is all about the delegates. The supers can decide how they want and so far, theyahve decided Barack. Sorry. In the next round it is about electoral votes, which again does not take into account national popular vote. So keep up with the arguments, you might get one that is rational.

Go Hillary!
John Edwards -loser
Al Gore- loser
John Kerry-loser

Maybe Obama will get John Edwards to go the black community since he NEVER does.

You Obama people are getting duped like Bush did the GOP.
You folks are the down of the party.

You're talking reality; Clinton is into fantasy: there, she's way ahead of everyone, sort of a female version of Walter Mitty, great military and political hero, champion of the poor.

Nick in Vegas: If the nominee is supposed to be Selected, why do we have Primaries at all??

By Clinton's measure, the primaries are a meaningless beauty contest or a 3rd world farce. The one who gets most votes, delegates, states and plays by the rules DOES NOT WIN.

The winner is the one that is supposed to be most "electable" even though they are BEHIND in every metric. If you were the best candidate for the party, why can you not win the primary for that party by the rules that were set out by the party?

Nick, can you honestly trust someone who will go to our(Democratic Party) arch nemsis 'FOX NEWS' and say McCain or I will make a better president than Obama? Now, that is the lowest of the low? Not even Slick Willy did that in his run?

Nick in Vegas–

What else do we have? The math is, really, a measure of how people voted. She is behind any way that you count. So what you're really asking is "should he win just because he won?"

I get being sad about your candidate losing. I even understand not believing that other people don't agree with you; God knows I can't imagine voting the way our country did the last two elections. However, unless I can prove faulty counting, I don't get to use a new metric to decide elections; they have a name for governments that SELECT candidates. They ain't democracies, man.

It is unfortunate that while so many other LIFE catastrophies are occuring, we are still focusing millions of dollars on electing our next leader. It is purely shamefull, and hope that the winner of this so called RACE will really do something about the real things in LIFE…

She is delusional.

There is a system in place. It's call "voting". The voters are speaking load and clear. So just because you say "many voters don't feel strongly in support of Obama", doesn't make it so. The math is reflective of the votes and the system in place.

Why do we have to educate the Clinton supporters? The comments being said leave your intellence to be questioned.

The Clinton machine just zings this out to get the Edwards endorsement off the top of the Political Ticker. I don't know what points it gives them, since CNN effectively explains how convoluted their claim is.

Nick in Las Vegas,

That's how we elect our officials, popular vote. Majority rules. The nominee is not SELECTED they are ELECTED.

I'm really getting worried. Are they going to do anything about Michigan and Florida? Will the voters there vote for Obama? This needs to be resolved as soon as possible. I honestly to think the Obama campaign realize how serious this is in the general election. NOTHING is being done.

Yeah, that's right. Let's just ignore the majority of the people. Let's let some delusional minority SELECT Hillary Clinton over Obama. This makes perfect sense.

What Obama has failed to do is convince blue-collar workers that he is presidential material. Obama is a wonderful person but can he get us out of this mess??? He sounds convincing but I still don't see him winning in November, Hillary Clinton does lead in the popular votes and so did Al Gore in the 2000 election. Although I supported both Gore and Kerry; what the democrats failed to do in the past 2 presidential elections is choose a strong candidate. I believe Hillary Clinton is the stronger of the two candidates.

Now I think I'm 'choking up on the trail'. Give me a break!

None of the scenarios consider the caucus-only states, because there is no widely-accepted metric for converting caucus results to popular vote numbers. If they somehow could, Clinton would be even further behind.

What a joke! I'm laughing, I really am.

It's funny that Obama is campaigning in Michigan. I wonder why?

Nick,

That is what winning an election is. Math. You get more votes you win. Plain and simple.

I do have to agree that for someone who is so determined to "make every vote count", disregarding all the caucus states is the most bizarre sense of self vetting yourself ever.

Michigan and Florida MUST count because they have the appearance of being "for" Clinton (which is HIGHTLY debateable). But oh nono, caucus states don't count.

Welcome to Hillary-land, where only votes for her count.

If she believes this, she is frankly delusional.

If she [her campaign] is saying this without believing it, she is frankly disengenuous.

As Mark Twain might have said, she doesn't seem to know the difference between a horse and a horse chestnut.

Did Terry McAuliffe take Math in high school?

Against Lies….if you REALLY are against lies YOU would know there are 4 States in the PRIMARIES that do NOT count the Popular vote….only the delegate vote. They are: Iowa, Nevada, Maine and WASHINGTON.

By Hillary Clinton not dropping out of this race it shows just how selfish she is.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Terry pack it in.

Do you think Hillary stay up at night looking for fairies and unicorns?

you got nick – why should the candidate who gets the most votes be the nominee?

Soooo…. caucuses don't count, but a state in which Obama wasn't even on the ballot does? The people of Iowa don't count, but MI and FL have been disenfranchised? Do they think supers are too dense to see the hypocrisy?

Let it be guys,,, her tone today shows she is down and out…. don't rub it in…

EDWARDS CAN GO DOWN WITH OBAMA!!!!!!

HOW LONG WAS HE IN THE RACE?

WHAT A JOKE, HE IS JUST LOOKING FOR A VP SPOT!!!!!

HILLARY THUMPED OBAMA LAST NIGHT!!!!!

PEOPLE WANT HER TO BE PRESIDENT!!!!

WAIT TILL KENTUCKY VOTES!!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!! KEEP SHOWING HIM THAT HE CAN'T WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!

New math…John Edwards.

These people have got some nerve. How much more selfish can they be to continue dividing the party for a lost cause? Hilary Clinton needs twice as many delegates as Barack Obama to clinch this. She needs over 70% of the remaining states/superdelgates. It is virtually impossible for her to achieve this. Even in WV where she won 66% she still did not hit 70%. It is hopeless and this is a shame on her and her campaign's behalf.

Hillary Clinton will be the best Presidential candidate when it is all said and done. She has made history against all odds, she can deliver without daily endorsement from those who obviously do not count with the voters, otherwise, they would still be in.

They call her pick-and-choose Clinton.

OBAMA 2008

Yes, we can.
Yes, we will.
Yes, we have!

How hypocritical. So she thinks Michigan and Florida's voters are being disregarded? How about voters in Caucus states? How about the hundreds of thousands of Michigan Obama supporters who didn't vote in the Primary, or voted for "Unaffiliated"? Should they be forgotten instead.

This is over. Bring on McCain.

Obama '08

Another lie. What else is new?

DID HE ACTUALLY SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE??

Well in terms of votes cast by real people, the fifth scenario, i.e. all primaries is the only meaningful measure of popular vote. Caucuses do not count. Clinton's lead in the popular vote clearly shows that Obama is the sweetheart of the media and the Democratic establishment but not the American people. Beware November, with Obama at the Democratic helm, we will likely be doomed to another 8 years of Republican rule. The media will hold primary responsibility. Hope they can live with it.

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!

Obama 08′, NO MORE CLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeh, and don't forget all the electoral votes she has. And wasn't she just endorsed by Elvis?

I think Hillary needs to take a serious look at stepping down. John Edawrds is now in Michigan endosring Barack Obama. All of his delegates are going to Obama. She is not leading in the popular votes. She is running out of money. Do the party a favor and leave on a high note.

Do we want a president that can’t count, doesn’t know when we to quit, and will change the rules when things aren’t going way?

So Edwards comes out for Obama after CLINTON SMASHES Obama in West Virginia…what timing….I guess Obama needed something to pick him back up.

Who cares if Edwards backs Obama….I personally do not believe that anyone's endorsement (OTHER THAN GOD) has much of an influence on the voters. The simple fact remains that if Obama does win the nomination…HE WILL DEFINITELY LOSE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION….HE SIMPLY CANNOT AND WILL NOT WIN WITHOUT HILLARY. Read it and weep.

YAWN ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

YOU ARE BORING US TERRY

If democrats delegates choice Obama as their candidate in Nov., They will be sorry for the rest of their life because Mccain will beat
Obama by a mile. Only Hillary can beat Mccain easily with the white ,
hispanic and asian american votes

To NICK in Vegas if the MATH didn't matter then we wouldn't have PLEDGED delegates to begin with. So the MATH does MATTER you and the rest of hillary supporters need to realize that.

Count all the votes. The votes in MI that were for OBAMA. Count those votes. The uncommitted votes were mostly for Obama and some for Edwards. Count those votes too.

Just as I am listening live to John Edwards telling what a great candidate HRC is, this fool McAuliffe keeps on trying to prove the opposite.

Popular Vote should override everything since the DNC cannot conduct business correctly. We must include the votes in Florida.

I think the 2000 election court ruling in favor of Bush should have made it clear to Dems that American election is won by higher delegates and not popular votes

Wow. Keep fighting the boys club.
Why would Edwards wait until now…
He must want VP and was worried that Hillary might get it.

Can you say McCain/Powell?
Good luck Democrats, you blew it.

If Edwards can't carry white people for himself, why in the world would you think he could do it for Obama.

Well, men women are 55% of registered voters, and for all you women who have not be railroaded by a guy who wasn't more qualified than you yet, well there are at least 2-3 women voters that have.

Obama will not win these women, no respect.
Sorry.

well, hillary ?? when was the last time you looked at the popular votes? because,, you are behind and its time to hang it all up,,, you and bill can think up some other tatics or "lies" BUt you have lost hillary,, face the facts,, kiddo,, stop with the"wahhh wahhh wahhh" bacuse americans are now smart enuff to know that you would not and neva would be good enuff for president,,, bil and you need to realize lies dont always work ,, (hahahaha),,, grow up,,

Hillary have some dignity.

One America!

To Nick in Las Vegas; Then why go through all this primary mess why don't we just let the superdelagates choose our nominee? Get over it, Obama won fair and square. You guys need to stop trying to change the rules, the metrics and the goal posts in the middle of the contest. Every contest has a winner and a loser. Clinton gave it a valiant try and she came up short. It's time to move on to other pursuits. The Clinton campaign should be ashamed of themselves for messing up what should have been her nomination. They made tactical errors of judgements. It's no one's fault but theirs. If Clinton was my choice i'd say he beat her fair and square and i'd vote for him in the fall. It's time to fall in behind Obama our nominee.

Do the math Nick!

Twisted Math….

Wow-

For anyone insane enough to still be buying into this- you are laughable.

As far as saying its not just a matter of racking up delegates…. Thats exactly what needs to happen in the general election.

she will run the country like she ran her campaign- Deceit, Debt and other words that start with D- delusional comes to mind.

To :Nick in Las Vegas– do you understand the process? The Clintons played a huge role in this agreement. The fact is that the Clintons didn't prepare or do there homework, like the Obama camp. Obama camp played by the rules, now all of a sudden the Clintons want to break the rules to count votes. The super's D are not playing that game. I understand your a Hillary supporters, but common sense is in writing on how this election will proceed. Please! Please! Please! read.

spin till you fall over

Hilary CLinton only wants all voices heard if they are shouting Hilary. There is no scenario that her camp will support that is fair. And even by all reasonable estimates (including all primaries & caucuses and not giving Barack Obama any of Michigan's votes which is ridiculous) SHE STILL LOSES!

If she's truly basing this on the fifth scenario then her math is a complete joke! So it's OK to include Florida and Michigan who defied the party rules but not caucus states that voted within the rules set by the party. I used to really admire her but now she's become breathakingly pathetic.

Ummm, Mr. McAuliffe, you are on crack. Sorry dude. This argument is so flawed you should be ashamed to put it forward.

Nick, you obviously don't live in America. How can you say that. The number of voters who count are for him. The ones who don't count, well they don't count. Look at a map and see who has won the most primaries, Obama. Who has one more states, Obama. Who has less CLINTON. I know you trust the name but I smell more lies and deception, her campaign reeks of it.

Count FL and MI

We will NOT unite behind Obama!!!

Nick, if you do not believe in any numerical standard for becoming the nominee, then what on earth do you suggest? He leads in pledge delegates. He leads in super delegates. He leads in popular vote, and he has won the most states. I meand wow, what else does he have to do to appease you?

Or is it that you have set the standard higher for him for reasons having nothing to do with his opponent or the primaries…

Funny math?? Wow, talk about reaching.

Terry McAuliffe is an idiot—–who cares about West Virginia???
He spins so hard, he should be a DJ.

Hillary needs to RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN just about now.

How can you even say you have the lead when you count states that shouldn't be counted, and ignore others… she is still behind. Sorry Clinton supporters. It's only lies that they are throwing your way.

Spining much?

God, you'd think that it was Dana Perino talking.

Hillary is ahead and CNN is again being biased, they want to support the GOP by helping the weakest candidate win the nomination(Obama) but this is not your desicion, but our desicion.

Florida and Michigan are part of the Union,. please do not try to mislead voters

West Virginia sent a clear message to the DNC, we want our votes counted.

Hillary 08- Yes she will!

Obama has no chance at being elected president.

I have a Phd in Mathmatics..but I just cannot count these numbers. Sorry, but this is not what I was tought in school.

Someone one help me.

Sickening. Looks like they won't be satisfied until everyone is doing the same drugs and destroying the Democratic Party while they are at it.

Bah. McAuliffe should've stopped talking after that blunder over "Big Russ". What an ignoramus! What an imbecile! What an ultra-maroon!

OMG!! Why is she doing this? Even those who think she is a strong candidate know that this race is over. She looks like a desperate teenager hoping she still might get asked to prom. I really wish the DNC would say that there is a nominee and ask her to step down. It is time for the party to come together and support the candidate who ran the better race and is more likely to win in November.

*barf*

sorry, but that is my initial response. my next emotion is pity.

McGovern=Mondale=Dukakis=Gore=Kerry=Obama

All losers.

Wake up, Democrats!! Only Hillary can win!

I think this amounts to a bold faced lie. She only leads if you DONT count about 7 states that went for Obama and count two states that dont count at all.

If Clinton ever wondered why people dont trust her and her negatives are so high, and why uneducated people support her this is another reason why.

28 cents savings per day is NOT a gas tax holiday.

She does NOT lead in the popular vote.

HUH?
not for long baby, Edwards backs Obama!!!!

How ridiculous. She's behind in all metrics….Of course McAuliffe is the master spinner

Obama and the dnc . It is time for war. We Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama

please cut this BS!

why would you preferentially pick and choose voters?

why the millions of americans in hawaii, washing, nebraska, wyoming, alaska, idaho, kansas, north dakota, maine, nevada, colorado and iowa who voted in the primary will not count? even though they have not violated any rules at all whatsoever?

what a hyporite!

Go Hillary…another loser endorses Obama.

Losers:
Edwards
Kerry
McGovern
Kennedy
Richardson

LOL, Hillary supporters will not vote for the Anti-America, Anti-White racist Obama

IF not Hillary….then McCain!!!

Barack Obama is the best politician I have ever seen in my 67 years but he's the worst choice for president.

I am so not voting for him!

PATHETHIC

I can't wait for Obama to lose in the general, all the hate filled Obama supporters, you know the ones for hope and change, will be in for a huge surprise when he doesn't win. Just read the posts about Clinton being proud of her daughter and choking up about her. Have you ever read such nasty remarks in your life. These people aren't democrats, these people are nasty hate filled women haters. Millions of Americans have voted for Clinton, and millions won't vote for Obama, good luck in the general, Obama supporters are losing the Democratic base with all their hate, and I for one am going do my best to show people just how mean spirited the campaign of hope and change is.

Very preposterous. Terry just proved to everybody that he is the achitect of Clinton's misfortune, and in order to continue putting HRC into more debt, while he's own bank account is growing, he needs to come up with absurd claims. This is one of the biggest jokes ever. Nice job Terry, you can go home now.

…and she leads the popular vote in states that have more than eight letters and end in "a". This primary needs to end soon. Clinton supporters–please remember that Hillory, the candidate you respect and support, stated today on CNN that it would be a grave mistake to vote for McCain.

CNN SUCKS!
Go McCain!
Anybody but Obama
Nobama 08
Change we cant believe in!

YES YOU ARE !

NOTHING CHANGES THE FACT THAT WEST VIRGINIA, A SWING STATE OVERWHELMINGLY VOTED FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!

ALL THE ENDORSEMENTS DON'T MEAN ANYTHING WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS: WHO CAN GET THE VOTES IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!!

THE GOP WILL BRING OUT ALL OBAMA'S SCANDAL, AND LETS FACE IT, THEY WONT HAVE TO MAKE THINGS UP!!!!!!!!!

HE WILL NEVER SURVIVE THIS AND WILL LOSE!!!!

THEY CANNOT DO THIS TO HILLARY!
THERE IS NOTHING THEY HAVEN'T TRIED ALREADY!!!!

HILLARY SHOULD BE THE NOMINEE!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!

That's QUITE a qualification for what constitutes as a vote.

Is it possible that McAuliffe meant "in the popular vote [in West Virginia]" but forgot to qualify it? Because otherwise, I think somebody is inhaling.

There you go. Out and out lies. The delusional image of what's going on. It's getting very old.

Idiotic. how can she make a case of counting FL and MI and excluding the caucuses. Complete stupidity

Sounding more desperate and foolish each day! They must think the general public is completely ignorant.

Cheaters never prosper.

I am soooo angry with Edwards.

Considering that many of us supported HIM before he QUIT, he could have remained neutral out of respect to us.

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER vote for Obama.

I am writing in Hillary in November and that is a promise.

LOL…. Oh come on!!

This is an insult to the inteligence of Americans!!

She thinks we're stupid!!

Hillary is running a trashy campaign.
She is also saying that certain peoples votes do not count. Only the ones she likes. Again, trashy.

Hillary and Terry have their own New Math….

Either way if Obama is the nominee, Democrats will lose in the fall.

Obama has not won anywhere close to the amount of the white vote that John Kerry won in the 2004 election since Reverend Wrights comments came out in Febrauary 2008. And remember the primary voter is much more liberal than the general election voters. It is something the 20 somethings probably do not know.

The democratic party can join a sinking ship if you want. You have 5 months before it goes under.

Sweet Jesus, I'm all for the inevitability of spin, but this is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

Quote of the Day……..

"My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."
– Barack Obama

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA….. two plus two equal 7. LOL

Edwards is a total idiot.

She also has prettier teeth and her hair cut only cost $25 at Super cuts. Go Hillary!! Personally I think we should change the rules and go with the "bowl off" idea Clinton had. Why not, the rules don't obviously matter at this point.

Holy Cow! How many different ways are they going to explore to undermine the system. Please stop the madness!

This is one Republican that was looking to the Democrats to save this nation but now I am wondering if I should stick with my party. At least they have the UNITED WE STAND part down.

I was inspired by Obama to cross party lines but with Hillary refusing to acknowledge that her campaign is over and show some support and unification I am at a loss and so is the Democratic Party.

Hillary, please show some character and step aside. Support the next President of the United States – Barack Obama!!!!

(By the way, I WILL NOT CROSS PARTY LINES FOR AN OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET)

Obama is trying to win the WHITE vote with John Edwards……please……he couldn't even win enough votes to keep himself in the race……..This makes me laugh.

Sorry to tell you but WHITE people just don't believe Obama has the JUDGEMENT or EXPERIENCE to lead this country!!!!!!

what is this woman doing?????? she is really churning my stomach she is doing the clinton name and their place in history a grave injustice

Yeah, they have to change all the rules to make their statements truthful. Her campaign lies and they know it.

Awesome ! What a way to count. Is there anything else we need to know from this retarded campaign?

How stupid can these clinton guys be. Or anyone to agree with them. I think they are desperately blind or just think that if it is not clinton then we will damage obama as much as possible

Nick, you say "just because of the math"….the math represents the votes of the people of course the math matters!!!

That would be great for Clinton if only the rules at the start stated that its the popular vote that counts. Could you please give Obama ONE vote from MI? I'm sure at least one voter would have voted for him there.

I love you Hillary but I will NEVER, NEVER vote for obama. Period.

Obama will lose in November-Ted Kennedy is behind all this.
So now Obama will be endorsed by Edwards-what a loser.
McCain's my man! Maybe he'll pick Hillary as VP

Please let's stop this idiocy. We all know this isn't true and this math is the worst kind. Why is her campaign playing numbers and stretching the truth. Where I am from this is called lying and misleading. Please Mrs. Clinton drop out for the party's sake.

web.mac.com/kof4life

Which is irrelevant, as we know, because of the electoral college system.

Ha,ha,ah,ha,ha! Give it UP! It's over!

Yes we can!

Thank you John Edwards!

Go Obama!

Next – wouldn't it be a mother load if the Gov of West Virginia endorses Obama?

Geeesh….it doesn't matter. What matters is who can cross the finish line with enough delegates to win the nomination. No fathomable gyration of the numbers can get her an advantage in the only metric that actually counts.

a whole new meaning to the term "Fuzzy Washington Math"!

wow.

Do not give up. Today a man with vitually no experience endorsed a man with virtually no experience and we are suppose to ignore the fact that you ae winning the popular vote.

Edwards for Obama, GAME, SET MATCH!!!! OH and why is Hillary for disinfranchising all of the caucus states?

Master spiner this guy is a disgrace

And yet she wants all voices heard..once again hypocritical…..the so called fifth scenario doesnt count the voices of Iowa and Washington

I just hope the party recognizes that Hillary Clinton would compete best in the general election. The nominee is supposed to be SELECTED, it's not just a matter or racking up delegates, the system was designed with many factors to be considered. It shouldn't just be a matter of math. Many voters do not feel strongly in support of Obama, even if he does come out ahead, should he be the nominee just because of the math? I don't think so.

DELUSIONAL

How ridiculous. She trails in all metrics; but yea McAuliffe is the master spinner.

Laughable

Just got Edward's endorsement, who's ahead now? And to have the Hillary campaign office across from a spripper bar here in Lane County is just stupid

It seems then that saying Sen. Clinton leads in the popular vote count is a rather dishonest and misleading thing to say.

PLease stay in for the long run HRC! I'm looking forward to all the damage you can still do!!!

McCain ROCKS.

I dont get Hillary Clinton. She pits white people against black people, then she states she best represents non-educated hard working white people. I guess she doesnt represent me, a college educated white person and because I am college educated, I must not work hard. Also, I am a Marine Corps combat veteran. I will vote for a person who best represents me and my family, after all thats been said and researching all the candidates, I will not vote for Hillary nor will I vote for McCain. I will vote for Barrack Obama. By the way I always voted Republican but not this year. I will work on Obama's Campaign.

Desperation

Ludicrous that she would exclude caucus states. This claim is not based in reality.

a whole new meaning to the term "Fuzzy Washington Math"!!

wow.
