Watch a clip of Wolf Blitzer's interview with Sen. Clinton.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Hillary Clinton choked up Wednesday as she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that her daughter's presence on the campaign trail had been one of the "most incredibly gratifying experiences of my life."

"Well, it's one of the most incredibly gratifying experiences of my life, as a person and as a mother. I get very emotional," she said. "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.

"Obviously, we are very close. We are in communication all the time. But she is doing this because she believes I'd be a good president, but also because she cares so much about our country's future. She did grow up in the White House. She knows what a difference a president makes. If anybody ever doubted what difference a president makes, after seven years of George Bush, I think the doubts should be put to rest.

"So she's doing it because she's my daughter, but she's doing it because, as she says, she's a young American who cares about our future."

Chelsea Clinton, who has been a constant presence on the trail this cycle, was in Puerto Rico Wednesday in advance of the territory's June 1 primary.

Watch Wolf Blitzer's interview with Hillary Clinton at 4 and 6 p.m. ET on CNN's The Situation Room.

Again? She tried that before. Maybe she is crying for all that money her campaign officials blew. When this race started the Clinton's boasted that she had the richest war chest of all time. Now she'd $20 million in debt and you think she can run a country. Yep, it's definitely the money she'd crying over. It's a good thing she has all those white, uneducated voters supporting her, other wise they be smart enough to know when they are being conned.

Thore   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

We need a President who is not acting as a puppet of their campaign. Somebody who shows true leadership and will be there for us when times get tough. Despite all the forces against her, Hillary Clinton shows true leadership by providing solutions that will be consequential for all of America and every politician can take lessons from her when she becomes America's first President. Obama's attempt to ignore the race in front of him shows he is not worthy of my vote in the fall. And the Clinton's do not need Obama's money, especially after she wins the nomination and becomes President.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

I absolutely admire Hillary Clinton. And, anyone who says otherwise is just jealous of her. Go Hillary! We are standing behind you all the way to the White House!

Not surprised that my comment is "awaiting moderation." It is a pro-Clinton remark. And, this makes it even more obvious that this board is moderated by Obama supporters. So sick of Hillary bashing. Grow up!

raf   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Tex,

Neither of Obama's children have been alive for 20 years.

Ann in Iowa   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Heartfelt comments from Hillary about her daughter should make all of us proud, as parents and as children of our own parents.

The rest of these nasty evil comments should be just plain stuffed.

Bryan   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Settle down guys. We need a unified party. Let her walk away on a high note. She's going to get another win, maybe 2. Her husband's legacy deserves it. Remember this is the first time she's said that voting for McCain over Obama would be a huge mistake. Tone down the hate. Her campaign was dirty at times, but she's still a democrat with a lot of capital to help us take back Washington. Like it or not, we need her support and she's willing to give it.

Adam   May 14th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

This is good news for Hillary Clinton!

Sheila, Tampa, Florida   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

I only read the headline and that was enough. When I can't get what I want I'll cry. Stop with the crying and man up Hillary. Its okay to cry but stop doing it in public if you want to be the next president. I know its a trick and there are people who fall for that. Not I.

Sheila

Alex   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

I think she finally came back to her sense. She is a smart lady. Had she done this from the beginning her luck might have been different. It is the negative attack Bill and her surrogates waged and finally she joined them than taking the high road. For this round of the game she is out of luck since the numbers and what Obama has demonstrated is better than hers. I hope she will keep her words and support the Democratic nominee.

Chanakya   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

I can understand Clinton's emotions, but there is a little suspicion in my mind that she is not being genuine this time. She could have expressed her emotions privately, in front of a smaller crowd, but not when she was on CNN LIVE!!! There is something wrong going on. Will she gain public Sympathy this time? Let us wait and watch. If Clinton were to be nominated and if at all she became (a BIG IF), I would hate to see her crying when she was supposed to be holding negotiations against tough opponents like Russina, Iranians or North Koreans.

Tonya South Carolina   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

Where did those people park their horses in West Virginia when she was giving her victory speech CNN I want to know!!!!!!!! NOW RIGHT NOW Thats a huge NEWS STORY

clbrune   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

If she's emotional it's either fake (because she's so wicked and manipulative), or real (and she's just a melodramatic woman). Either way, it's just more fodder for Clinton bashing.

The irrational (even hysterical) treatment heaped upon Clinton knows no shameful limits.

Touching Moment   May 14th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

I believe that was a very sincere moment for Hillary Clinton. I haven't always been in agreement with her tactics in this campaign, but as a mother, I know what it feels like to feel so unbelievably proud of your child. I believe that is universal.

Politics aside, no one can doubt how proud she is of her daughter, as any mother would be...

Len   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Do you think that Hillary will try to run as an Independent or will she take this to the convention for a fight??

Rosa Birmingham, AL   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

You people are so hateful that you can't even appreciate a mother's pride in her daughter. I support both of the Dem candidates but the Obama supporters are so militant it makes me wonder. Anyway, McSame is the danger here not Hilary so can you people please get a clue and be nice. Being ugly doesn't help your cause or reflect well on your candidate.

juan   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Thanks to all these so called college educated followers of Obama. You are the reason this country is in the mess it is in. If this is the future of our country, I rather not have a part of it. This comes from a true college educated Puerto Rican which holds a Master Degree and a follower of Hillary who judges people based on their content and not on race . You are truly the reason Barack will not win!!

Pete   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I'm for Obama but will gladly vote for Hillary if she ends up with the nomination. As to her choking up, so what? It shows that she's human, has feelings and is proud of her daughter. How is that hard to understand? You either don't have a child, aren't proud of them or are just so biased that you (the collective you) can't be objective. Get a life and get a heart.

Frank in Ga   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I don't know who makes it harder to support Obama, Barack himself or the people who support him. To have a candidate say it's time to end gutter politics it seems not to have trickled down to his followers. In the same interview Hillary also stated that anyone who supports her that votes for John McCain in the general election would be making a "grave mistake". I quess that qualifies as saying anything to win. I'm a 10 yr. veteran of the US Marine Corps, a veteran of Operation Just Cause ( the 1989 invasion of Panama) and the Gulf War and I get emotional and have pride when I think of my daughters. Now someone call me a cry baby or say I'm weak.

Carol   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Well I'm an Obama supporter and this time I actually think she was just proud of her daughter.

Come on people lighten up, Obama has won.

Sweetie pie   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Enough crying! If you can't take the heat bla,bla bla.

Cali   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

I would hope Senator Clinton has feelings for her daughter. Yet, it's obvious that this is a repeat report. Remember NH? And it's also been apparent for a very long time that Wolf Blitzer is pro-Clinton and anti-Obama.

mykle   May 14th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

BOO HOO- BOO HOO-Give me more votes, BOO HOO-Don't you feel sorry for me? BOO HOO- I have such a lovely daughter,BOO HOO-Where are my votes from Michigan and Florida?, BOO HOO,BOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wayne   May 14th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

She only cries on camera during election years.

Cbeaumon   May 14th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Again, we have another dig at President Bush. And this is coming from a woman who's husband was a complete joke as a president. He did more to shame the office of President . Why Hillary will not be the nominee? People remember the Clinton years and how it was one scandal after another one. She has nothing new to offer. President Bush has governed by what is the best for this country not by the polls like she does and her husband did.

lois   May 14th, 2008 5:04 pm ET

Obama supporters are just plain down nasty! A mother is proud of her daughter and you have to make nasty comments. How sad.

How many personalities living in there ?? I was once a supporter but have become not only disillusioned but also a bit scared by the quick changes , outright lies & lack of concern for the party as a whole.Her way or no way (e.g. effort to change various rules & various times) doesn't fly with me . ???You don't know what to expect on any given day.

Michael WA   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

What are you all blabbling about? She is showing some true emotion and you trash her, when she doesn't show emotion and acts "robotic" or "cold", you trash her. Isn't it in human nature to be proud of our children? Is it wrong to show emotion when your child marries or when your child reaches a milestone in their lives? Won't you cry if your child died? I'm a father and I bet I would get emotional if I walked my daughter down the aisle. I bet if she didn't show emotion when talking about how proud she is of Chealsea, I bet we would hear how she is being fake and robotic and whatnot. So she is fake when she shows emotion and she's fake for not showing emotion...great. You Hillary haters are full of crap!

HILLARY CLINTON 2008

GreenQueen   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

What's wrong with showing emotion when expressing pride in your children? It's beautiful and REAL! Maybe if MEN shed a few more tears instead of pissing all over this country...we'd be in much better shape.

dmw   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

How can some of the commenters on this post be so cruel when talking about Hillary Clinton. She is not a fake, she is crying because she has pride in her daughter. I get so tired of the meanness of some of the American people. How would you feel if someone said something bad about you when you show honest emotions.

This is not a Christian nation, this is a nation of haters and I am sick and tired of it!!! Grow up people.

WE LOVE HILLARY!!!

Mr. Sprinkles 3004   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

Last time I saw tears like this I was making a cheese sandwich and almost threw it at my neighbor. Can someone tell Hilary Clinton she is not invincible.

dgaj'kg   May 14th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

How do you know she isnt crying for all those people you listed!

When she talks about them you can tell she is sympathetic to them but she can't cry everytime!

You people expect a perfect robot for president and you are showing that Obama is that robot by saying these things..

Jason   May 14th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 14th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

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."

Terry   May 14th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

It's nice to see someone who doesn't fumble through the thought process like Obama when they speak. Of course, when you ask him a question he has no idea about and tries to sound good he goes "I agree with Hillary" or "What Hillary said".. If Nobama wins the nomination it will be a sad yet sweet victory for all us this primary seasons come November when he loses who have said.
NO HE CAN'T. Of course, then it will be NO HE DIDN'T. I think I'll add WE TOLD YOU SO KOOLAID DRINKERS!

Nobama...

Hillary 08!

Becky   May 14th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

As mother we are all proud of our children, I still choke up with my son's every milestone, which is not limited to, he learn't to say happy mother's day having said that its still OBAMA 08. full speed to the white house.

AK   May 14th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Obama's tongue in cheek replies and his wife's tones are quite unpalatable. Obama 08 supporter's vicious comments make me cringe to think about the quality of people surrounding him.

It is offensive to see how a woman politician is being treated in this country.

Gram   May 14th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Hillary and her daughter have the kind of relationship that most mothers and daughters would love to be part of. Obama is just too inexperienced to have gone this far, without someone unknown pushing his case...As a 68 yr old retired professional woman, I think it's time for an experienced woman to take the reins of this country!

Nathaniel   May 14th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

There's no crying in presidential politics! Someone need to tell that woman to sack up.

Justin   May 14th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Also everyone she did'nt ask for the question about her daughter....they asked it you all seem heartless

Belle   May 14th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Prior to showing contempt...why don't you WATCH the entire interview?

Clinton also said she would campaign her heart out for the nominee, and said it would be a grave mistake NOT to vote for Obama if he is the nominee....but your derogatory comments about Senator Clinton REALLY makes it hard for me to even want to vote for Obama.

Why don't you direct your hatred where it belongs....the media that spins EVERY single comment to death, tries to guess what a different meaning could be....in my day, you actually went to the source and asked the person what he/she meant!

For being the supposed "educated" ones, you sure don't sound very open minded to me.....

Jay   May 14th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

The nasty vicious remarks by the Obama supporters are rude, mean and uncalled for. Mrs; Clinton is a wonderful, strong and caring woman. I am sure you will all be crying huge tears when your boy Obama loses in a landslide to McCain. Now you know why us Hillary supporters will stay home instead of voting for OBama. Because you, his supporters and your sneering condescending ways.

She's only crying because she completely blew what was a slam-dunk gimme structured solely for her coronation at the beginning of the primary process. Give Obama credit, but her campaign will go down as one of the biggest failures in american political history.

Hillary knows what she's doing and she's the best person for the job of president, regardless of what you vile haters think.

Go ahead and vote for Mr. Slick . . . you'll get exactly the president you deserve.

ease up. i'm sure her emotions are sincere. i have a daughter and i can imagine feeling the same way. these kinds of petty attacks against her are not helpful. stick to the issues that matter, like her pandering with the gas tax idea and her intentionally polarizing the party by apealling to the archie and edith bunker's of america.

patrick b   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

I'm done being angry about all this. BRING THE PARTY BACK TOGETHER. :)

Joyce memphis, tn   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

To all of you who accuse Hillary of playing the "crying game" Please have a heart. She is proud of her daughter. I have a toddler and I get emotional at times when I think of how much he has grown, and he's only 3. So imagine watching your child, who is all grown up, articulant, and intelligent, stumping for you in public rallies. You would get emotional too. I sometimes get emotional when my son points at me and say "That's my momma."

mandi08   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

NO SUPPORT FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO WAY I WILL GIVE VOTE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS A SUCH HATEFUL SUPORTERS, NO WAY.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRODING DEMOCRATIC PARTY. NO VALUES, UNDERSTANDING, FRIENDSHIP I OBAMAS CAMPAIN, JUST WILD BUNCH OF MEAN PEOPLE. MR. WRIGHT HAS A BIG AFFECT ON YOU GUYS, YOU LEARN HATE VERY QUICKLY, TOOKS OBAMA 20 YEARS, BUT 15 MONTHS TOOK YOU. NO WAY I WILL SUPPORT THIS MAN!!!!
PRIMARY ARE NOT OVER, HILLARY WILL STAY UNTILL SHE DECIDE TO STEP DOWN AND SHE WILL DO WITH GRACE!!!!
INDEPENDENT PARTY IS WAITHING !!!!

Terrell "TJ" Jackson   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

This is my first time posting a comment on one of these blogs; but I MUST do it now!!

The way the Republicans are losing House Seats in "heavily" favored republican districts...if I were John McCain I would be "very" worried about November. And I can truly understand why Senators Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton are vying for the Democratic Nomination so vigorously...November could be a "walk in the park" for the Democratic Party!!!

As a 21 year-old AMERICAN, I can honestly say that I have never been 'this" excited or inclined with U.S. Politics!!

Toni   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Hillary got emotional because she was talking about her daughter.She is not using this as a ploy.There are many times I get emotional when I talk about my children,especially when they do something that feels me with awe and pride.Unfortunately,the critics will find just about anything to bash Hillary.These are the same critics who will forgive everything Obama says and does.Stop attacking her for every little thing.Try to acknowledge she has been running a phenomenal campaign worthy of pride for an incredible woman.
I still hope she will be our nominee and President of the U.S.

beverly   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

The question was asked of her about what she meant about getting tough with opec, which she never answered. Wolf Blitzer did not push her enough about what she meant with her comment. he good at evading answers. She talk the talk and that's that.

stephanie, Washington   May 14th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Obama supporter,
Be nice to Hillary, it's natural to all mothers to feel emotion to their children when Chelsea is working very hard for her mom. It doesn't mean she will not be a strong and tough president. She is not a liar to show her emotion. I can understand Hillary because I'm a mother too.

V in CA   May 14th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

BEAUTIFUL! What a heartfelt moment. It's wonderful to see genuine feeling being expressed by a strong, feminine woman. GO HILLARY.

Posted by one of over 17 million voters who have voted for Sen. Clinton so far. We exist, we matter, and the Democrats can't win in November without us.

E. R. Jordan   May 14th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Doesn't anyone understand YET ? that there is nothing genuine that would ever come out of hillarys mouth. She feels nothing true or real she wants what she wants when she wants it. Doesn't understand why everyone doesn't agree with her. Camera rolling she tries to sound human. I bet before going to bed she has to think about some of the things she's said and gets a good laugh, those idiots believed that line. She really doesn't think anyone can see thru her same as billy they're cut from the same patern. wake up people

She didn't choke up with emotion... she threw up in her own mouth a little listening to her ridiculous rhetoric spew forth.

Carl   May 14th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

What's funny about the Obama over McCain comment from her is that McCain is more of a democrat by defintion that Obama. Obama is more of a socialist and a communist that tries to use democratic policty to justify his thinking.

McCain says he's a Republican, but follows through with Democratic policies (pro war, pro taxes, pro government spending)...

It's funny to me....

Frank   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

As a Obama supporter from day one, and never liking the Clinton's at all (Voted Perot '92) I could take this moment to trash Hillary again.But I'm not going to,after what she said about it being a mistake for Dems to vote for McCain and not Obama that support her.I will vote for any Dem that wins to keep McCain out of office,yes even a Clinton.So as of today my Hillary trashing days over.

voter Arizona   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

You Obama supporters are the most vile people I have ever seen. Any mother know when you talk about your children and the pride you feel makes you get choked up and cry. I know that is how I am about my children. Maybe you are so full of hatred you don't get it. Maybe you people need to grow up. This had nothing to do with getting votes. If you are representive of his voters we need to be very worried.

Hms   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

The posts here are so ridicolous... it was a personal momemt and all these negative people need to just SHUT UP.... go ask you mother if she cries when she is proud of you...

Steven   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

This was such a lovely moment. I'm disappointed, though, that of everything of substance she said in that long interview, you go for the "female is crying" moment.

It's sad to see so many posters here denigrating her, making her into some kind of fairy tale character, as if she is inhuman, without emotions. As a psychologist, I find these sorts of responses disturbing, and indicative of a culture that is quickly sinking into serious pathology and lack of empathy.

The Chubster   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Now watch what happens... During the remaining five primaries, you will see a lot more of the "vulnerable, emotional" Clinton. She can't beat the "white American" drum anymore, as she did in West Virginia, and not be called out as a race baiter (which she is). If she went ultra negative right now she'd be seen as bitter. This is the next to last trick in the book; pulling out the "traveling pants", sisterhood, having an Oprah moment schtik to try to corner the female vote. The last option she has is go all out and switch back to dumping black paint all over Obama as she did in the southern primaries.

Sick and Tired   May 14th, 2008 4:56 pm ET

Sorry Hillary, tears will not work this time. Everyone is on to you and know that you are trying to destroy Obama. Do you really think we will support you in 2012 knowing the type of snake you have been within the last few weeks. If the Dems lose in November, they WILL blame YOU no matter how many tears you shed.

huh?   May 14th, 2008 4:55 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?

Andy   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

With a mother like Hillary I would be scared to death NOT supporting my mom. Hillary would go ballistic.
Keep Chelsea OUT OF THIS.
It makes me sad how a mother can use her own child like this.
The reason is so clear: all the older women should feel sympathy what a "nice and sweet" family the Clintons are.....(NOT!!!!)

Miss S   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Hillary showed incredible grace and dignity in this interview. Thank you Wolf for treating her with respect and conducting a good interview.

Jen   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

This lady is such a liar. Here we go again with the crocodile tears.

Realistic   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

She should be crying because the Democratic Party has a flawed candidate in Obama who will never win the General Election and her party has blown it once again.

Tired of W, OH   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

To all of you "I'll vote for McCain" Hillary supporters out there (the ones that aren't Operation Chaos morons): Hillary has said that it would be a mistake for her supporters to vote for McCain if she is not the nominee. This is one of the few good things that she's said lately, and CNN doesn't have it in the ticker for discussion? First, you don't mention Obama's new super delegate pick-ups and now this?

Inter-racial Mom in Arizona   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

I'm anxious to see the interview this evening and have a good look into her comments. Stop with the negative comments people. Being hateful gets you no where. Hasn't Obama taught us all that???

I bet she wouldn't obliterate Israel if they attacked Lebanon, again. She's a hypocrite, a scam, a cheat, and a liar.

Rene in PA   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Wow CNN. Can you make it any more abundantly clear how much you support Hillary?

Speaking of which, would someone at CNN care to explain why Glenn Beck's article from weeks ago is still listed on the front of your Commentary section?

Latinos for Obama 08   May 14th, 2008 4:55 pm ET

Well I finally have some respect for Hillary again am happy to heard that she would want her supporters to vote for Obama if he is the nominee and put an end to this negative campaign. I would hope the Obama supporters would do the same. No McCain that would just be stupid.

Karlo Hernandez   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

I LOVE you HILLARY!

You are the best. You are amazing. I can't wait to see you in the White House. Let's keep the fiasco out.

Why can't you all accept that Hillary has feelings and that she's a human being. Then again, I understand your jealousy. She has accomplished a lot, more than any of you will ever do in four lifetimes. Losers.

Hillary 2008 all the way!

She choke and almost cried today,,,, watch tomorrow, she is going to yell and scream. You just never know what you are getting. How do you vote for her. Too emotional to give the nuke button to.

I don't mind a woman president,,,but just not this one. There are better choices. May Cindy McCain.

I don't want my President to cry. They're supposed to be a figure of strength, someone who can motivate and rally the country, not bring us down and feel beat. I understand that she cried this time because she's proud, ok. . . cool, I do the same. But during NH she cried because campaigning was difficult. Come on, life is difficult, you cant breakdown and cry. I'm waiting for someone to quote Tom Hank "There's no crying in baseball"

dave   May 14th, 2008 4:54 pm ET

keep on slagging her,,and enjoy the moment as many of us clinton supporters will,when you come looking for our votes.do you really think that we will forget that according to obama and his crew that anybody that supports clinton is nothing more then stupid white racists.

Come on Obama supporters, will you let up on Clinton already. And please Clinton supporters....support the Democratic nominee even if it wasn't your choice.

Our country is in a very fragile state right now so let's not continue this petty bickering and defeat ourselves in the November election.

We need to come together and defeat McCain!!!!!

Cape Cod   May 14th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Good for her, she is showing how proud she is a MOTHER of the hard work her daughter is doing.
For you Obama supporters; you make me sick & ashamed of how rude & degradating you are to people who do not think like you do. You absolutely remind of the stories about the cults of the past–if someone doesn't believe in what you believe right away they are uneducated hillbilly half-breeds who doesn't know their left hand from their right. YOU are supposed to be "educated" group yet the venom you spew all over these blogs are downright infantile.

MK   May 14th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Can't fault her for loving her daughter. I think every mother understands.

However, I can fault her for possibly blowing the Democratic race because for her outrageous ego, upcoming book deal, or both.

Me, Myself, and I   May 14th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

A majority of you Obama supporters are cold and heartless; the very thing you paint Hillary as being. That's why this democrat will vote McCain.

Ardnuas   May 14th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

I would have so much respect for her if she would quit, and help unite the party..... She would be a GREAT Supreme Court Justice or Majority Leader in the Senate.

NNgirl   May 14th, 2008 4:52 pm ET

You hatefull, ugly, arogant Obama supporters and your hatefull, ugly, arogant Obama are precisely the reason I will never vote for Obama. My family and I will support McCain in the GE if Hillary is not the nominiee.

Beca   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Obama supporters, so disrespecful people, feel sorry for the future of this country!

Lola   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Hillary will stop at nothing. Crying one moment and laughing with wide, botoxed mouth the next. No one beleives your little acts, Billary. If you are so choked up, stay in the kitchen and bake some cookies like good mothers do. Bye-bye, Hillary. Sob, sob.

MarkMN   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Jai in PA   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

The real important story from this interview is that Clinton stated that it would be a "grave error" to vote for McCain over Obama. Democrats need to show Clinton and her supporters respect – all of us will be necessary to win in November. This is obviously an emotional journey for all candidates so we should expect to see different emotions expressed during the campaign. Do not fall for the Republicans who pose as Obama supporters criticizing Clinton – it is designed to drive a wedge between the Democratic Party – don't let it work. We must unite.

Andrew   May 14th, 2008 4:51 pm ET

Clinton had a very devisive win in West Virginia.

Pro-Hillary Voter   May 14th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

If Hillary is "a fake" (as "Mark" commented), then what is Obama?!

Obama only cut relations with his pastor AFTER the media pressure got out of control, 20 years later!

Obama only now started to win a flag pin because many Americans still believed he is not patriotic! For how many months has Obama campaigned WITHOUT a pin?!

Clearly, some of Obama's religious and political convictions are very labile and will change for political gain.

Brenda Miller   May 14th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

You Obama supporters are the most critical jerks. So Hillary choked up talking about her daughter, why is that wrong? How come Obama didn't choke up when he was talking about his racist minister. But I guess 20 years listening to the hate being preached didn't bother him.

Hillary 08

MarkMN   May 14th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Is there a reason we should believe anything she says or does?

Are we supposed to believe the Clintons set some sort of standard of greatness or establshed a moral authority while in the White House?

It is about her and nothing else.

Beware of the Dragon Lady !!!!

Randy M   May 14th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Why oh why CNN do you keep pandering to this fake. I don't question that she loves her daughter but I do believe they have pimped her out for this campaign. If she is so mature why is she never allowed to speak to reporters? Because of fear she'll say something other than the scripted dribble that's been rehearsed for months. C'mon Hillary, you fooled people once in NH, do you really think we're that stupid?...but then again, look at WV, maybe we are!!!

gerard morei   May 14th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Just a simple question to the Obama (educated ?) supporters; did you ever got emotional with a member of your family because you are proud or for anything else? Probably not because you are so educated that is no room for family values. That's why Hillary supporters have better values that you have (with the exeption of a few). I did not finish college, but I'm very proud of my family achievements and I also get emotional because of my family success. Obama supporters shoul your education, not with a diploma,but with your comments.
Thank you,
a Hillary supporter.

Tex,

It's obvious you're one of the non-college educated Hillary supporters. Learn to proof and spell check your postings...and it would help if you heard Michelle'e ENTIRE set of comments instead of the snippet and opinions fed to you by the MSM. I won't even comment on the Rev. Wright thing because, again, you prove yourself to be uneducated on the facts but perfectly accepting of lies and character attacks which have nothing to do with the real issues going on in this country.

Robert L. Brown   May 14th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

It never ceases to amaze me the level of ignorance that goes into these responses, I am a supporter and volunteer for the Obama candidacy and the level of general disrespect that is being shown here is simply appalling. How many of you could honestly put yourself on the line and withstand the scrutiny that these candidates put themselves through in order to serve. Yes they asked for it by being candidates, but have we become so tainted by our system that we can no longer muster a modicum of genuine respect that all of these candidates deserve?

Supporting the Democrats 110%!!!!!!

Amanda   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Well it is so obvious from the comments on this thread that the pro-Obama people are out in full force! Their venomous hatred makes me ill!

Good for Hillary – at least her daughter is proud of this country and her mother which is more than I can say for Michelle Obama!

Obviously, if Obama gets the nomination I will be going McCain in November! Forget about party unity....the DNC has personally seen to it that will never happen by not letting the voices in Michigan and Florida be heard!

Hillary is an amazing woman. Most Mothers are! We give life, nuture, advise, we tend ills, we chauffer, feed, support, we pray, fight, love, forgive, cry, we listen, we manage and most of all we cherish our children and families and are fully capable of succeding in getting to the top of the pile for our families. This is also true of Hillary as a President. She will put us ( the nations children ) back on top of the World. GO HILLARY '08 !

Lola   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Hillary is the best candidate! Hussein Obama is a just an insult for this country! I'll never ever vote for this lier, empty, arrogant, racist guy!

NANITO   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

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

leon   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

No way we Hillary's supporters will vote for OBAMA. What a silly thought from H. Dean, Nancy Pelosi. Kennedy and other leaders of the DNC to think that after misstreating Senator Clinton during the whole process, showing clear favoritsm, not aasking the media to be fair to both candidates, pressing Clinton to kind of cover Obama's lack of experience and not being vetted, allowing sexism and not steping up against racial issues from Obama's campaing that now we should support Obama.

Obama has not been vetted. Obama is not the different kind of politician he says he is. He has shown that he is an average and vulgar politician, very ambitious that will betrayed his own pastor and friends. WE do not trust him, we do not identify with him.

Senator McCain seems to be a more experienced, honest, with a real record of going bipartisan in so many issues in Congress and will be a much better president for regular and average Americans

GCG - Austin, TX   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
She's a proud mother, and has every right to be.

I think she and her daughter are both wrong and that Hillary would be a horrible president given how she has completely mismanaged her campaign and the constant elitist belief that she is somehow entitled to the nomination; but, if I had my son or daughter out there working really hard for something I believed in, then I'd probably choke up a bit when talking about how proud they made me to.

Keep it positive folks, this might just be true feelings coming out.

Dr. Truth, Boston   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

Clinton supporters are awesome. They ignore the facts and keep on goin'. I love the ones who post they Obama supporters are blind cult followers and then accuse his supoprters of going negative.

This is just an example of the many similar posts ON THE CLINTON WEBSITE:

YES I WILL
OBAMA IS A NO CHOICE FOR ME!AND WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE,AS HE PLAYS THE MEDIA TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT WE WILL SUPPORT HIM BECAUSE WE ARE DEMOCRATES.WELL HAS HE FORGOTTON THAT MANY WERE (R)-THAT WE CAN GO BACK TO (R) before my heart will take the next beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The question is.Why are the media so afraid and Obama.Because they know that once the other states are done and Hillary gets those.

It doesn't matter what they say the media and Obama it's not flying.

I hope CNN post this comment since they always fails to post my comments.

Prescott   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

The more I see of you Obama followers, the more you come off as sick, soulless thugs trying to beat the rest of party into submission. The idea of following a leader who inspires such squalling tyrants makes me ill.
I've been a Democrat for nearly 15 years, my entire adult life. You are a frightening lot and I cannot imagine joining you.

MC, Maryland   May 14th, 2008 4:48 pm ET

CNN disregard my previous remark.

After thinking about it, I am a mother of a young girl and I can relate to Hillary's emotions on this one. My daughter is so special to me and I'm sure in Hillary's fragile state, just the mention of Chelsea and the role she played in this campaign is very emotional for Hillary.

JAB   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

What is really bothering the Obama-ites is that it is not over until this great lady in the pantsuit says that it is over! Go Hillary!!!!

Jacqueline Patterson   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

This lady will stop at nothing. I don't trust her or her husband. She thinks the white house is owed to her and her family. She is such a sore loser. She plays on the uneducated Americans because she thinks they believe anything and so far they've fallen for it. Too bad more people will not broaden their minds or least try to.

Dave   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Mark From Atlanta:

I have written 50 posts over the last few weeks. I have been fair and nice to everyone. Why want CNN include the views of those who don't think the race is over until the last vote is counted?

Regardless of who wins the nomination, we are all still important.

By the way, FOX News has posted ALL of my comments. CNN none.

Thanks if you post this.

Damion K. Miles   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

I'm not doubting that her tears were genuine. She probably had no intentions on crying in this interview. However, it must be noted that every time she's been on the brink of extinction in this race, she cries for some reason or another. Hold you emotions, woman. Wait, is that possible? I am definitely letting my chauvenistic side come out here, but, come on, Hillary. Enough with the crying!!!!! What are you going to do when that phone rings at 3AM, cry?

Seriously, she sounds as if she's ready to let the world know that she knows she's going to lose. There is no confidence in anytning she's saying. If you listen to anybody in Hillary's camp talking about wining this nomination, it has nothing to do with the rules. They all explain how she can win if they change the rules. Forget about it! The rules are the rules. She agreed to every one of the rules as they are today. The only reason she wants to change the rules is because she's losing. LOSING!!!!! Nobody thinks she's a quitter. She lost! Quitting and losing are two different things. Does she understand that?

EXPERIENCE FOR TEXANS   May 14th, 2008 4:47 pm ET

Why is it that all the Obama supporters can call Clinton all sorts of names but when you say something bad about Obama it is racist????

Hypocrites!

Why is it that the Obama supporters want her to drop out before everyone has voted? Would you want the same if the tables were turned or would that be called racism too?

Hypocrites!

Derek from NC   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

I'm a strong Obama supporter who used to support Hillary until i listen to debates, became turned off by Clinton's tactics, flip flips and lies, and finally by her campaign ( Geraldine Ferrato, PA Governor, Bill Clinton, and finally Hillary herself) bringing race into the campaign once Obama established himself as the leader. Though I'm skeptical because as much as I loved and supported the Clintons, I've seen another side of them in this race, i will take her at her word right now that she will do what it takes to unite the party once Obama officially becomes the nominee. Her and the Clintons overall legacy in the Democratic Party depends on it.

alice2Fresno,CA   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

WHO CARES ?????? i AM NOT MOVED, NOT ONE INCH. To me Hillary is a Chronic Liar, completely untrustworthy. She is hoping something will happen in the Obama Camp to knock him out of the race, or she wants help paying off her debt to her own campaign in the amt. of 20 million. She is in it for her own political gain, she does not care about the so called "blue-collar worker". She is more interested in building her own Clinton Dynasty. Must be Delusional.

Suziku   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Oh no, here we go again! Will she try to cry her way to the nomination? New Hampshire all over again? God forbid!

CNN should focus on some real issues like earthquake in china, cyclone in Myanmar, Fire Disaster in Florida or Economy problems of world rather than on Sen. Clinton. She will do anything to get this nomination and CNN will probably leave no stone unturned to project her.

There is no more manipulative prevaricator in modern American political history. I look forward to the great wave of Schadenfreude when she finally is compelled to concede. Let's hope her racist comments have stopped and she is not offered the Veep spot, for which the 2 for 1 Clinton combo is remarkably ill-qualified.

Carolina Girl   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Who wouldn't be proud of a daughter like Chelsea? Most of you morons are not even half of who she is. Any mother would choke up just realizing what a wonderful individual she turned out to be.

Lastly, you Obamarobots – HAVE SOME RESPECT! She's done a lot for this county than any of you and your candidate has ever done!

CNN I am so begging you to post this.

KA, Canada   May 14th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

Being an Obama supporter, I have to say that I am saddened by the posts here by other Obama supporters. HRC may not be our choice, but given the alternative, she should be held with the same respect we give Barack. The differences are not that great and IF she is the nominee I would expect the Obama supporters to fall in line. The same goes to Clinton supporters should Obama be the nominee. Another 4 years of GWB would kill the USA along with many other nations, Canada included.

Kate in Portland   May 14th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I just love this woman!!! She is such an inspiration to me and my 2 daughters and my 80 year old mother. We are a family of Hillary Supporters and our hearts will be broken if she does not win.

I have never witnessed such a brave and confidant woman, she makes me so proud.

I am angry at how she has been treated throughout this process and truly believe that if she was a man, she would have been treated better.

If the situation was reversed and Barak Obama was behind by 100 or so delegates, his supporters, the media, etc. would all be cheering him on to continue and try.

But all I've heard from the media and from the Democratic Party – like Bill Richardson, and Ted Kennedy, and Patrick Leahy and all the male party elders – is that Hillary should leave the race because she is hurting their "precious" Obama.

I will support whatever Hillary does, but I certainly hope the Democratic party leadership is ashamed of their treatment towards Hillary Clinton and the media has decided this election, in my opinon.

noans, South Pasadena   May 14th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Why cant people accept that she is human and maybe she actually is a woman that cares about her daughter.... maybe not everything is about the selfish people who think its 'a gimmick to get votes'?? Do you think every time a woman in your family cries she is just doing it to get your support? If you do then I am sorry for you and your family.

Good for Hillary to let her gard down and speak with pride of her daughter. Chelsea seems like they type of person any parent would be proud to have for a child and a friend.
What is with all the chastising comments regarding this article?
Is there something wrong with a parents have pride in their children?
Each and every one of you “Hillary haters” is no longer entitled to take pride in your children when they turn out to be well rounded human beings.

Kathy, Andover   May 14th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I saw how you promoted that you had a question that teared Hillary up, in order to get your audience to keep watching. That's so lame, Wolf. I don't see you doing that to male candidates.

I don't understand how someone can call Sen Clinton a liar because she gets choked up with pride while seeing her daugher help.

While referring to Chelsea, Hillary states, "She did grow up in the White House." Obama grew up on food stamps and she has the audacity to call him an elitist??? I understand that at this juncture Obama supporters should be courting Clinton supporters, but the hypocrasy displayed in this primary season has left me deeply scared, and I'm growing tired of "making nice" by ignoring the offenses of those who remain too arogant to so much as even acknowledge that they've committed offenses.

BAKERSFIELD   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

obama supporters
why do you hate hillary so much, i have never spoke so much hatred toward anybody in my life.

Noah   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

How can you people hate this women. For God's sake. She all but endorsed Obama if he is the nominee. She defended him, but she also made her case why she still feels she is stronger..You must just like to hate.

As for her emotion. Get a life. She was talking about her daughter. Someone who has given up her own life to support her mother. She is very proud.

I am sick and tired of the hate. If you want us Hillary supporters to support Obama, you Obama people need to change your attitude first.

Shon   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Oh gracious...I was wondering how long would it be before she pulled this stunt again.

Hillary08   May 14th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Oh no! I can't believe she did that. I'm one of her staunchest supporters and the crying is so transparent and over-the-top. Hillary, just STAY ON MESSAGE. We know you can win! Don't fall for all this hoopla!

Patty   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

This is not about being a quitter. It's about knowing when to step aside for the good of someone else!! She's too selfish to recognize that!!

Listen   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Tex – Obama's daughters probably think that they will be called the N word more than once in their life. Their father will probably be killed by someone for being President, and they will get to listen to history glorify murders, rapist, theives and animal behavior as if it is heroic. People like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Christopher Columbus, and whomever else you can recall from 1990 on down. The can learn about how the government created crack and put it into the inner cities, and gave black men diseases. Wow I'm proud of America now myself.

W   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

That is very touching. When I met Chelsea on the campaign trail I choked up too.

It is incredible to see how resiliant Hillary has been in the face of the hatred and malicious will that are unjustifiably directed towards her.

I am proud that Hillary, Chelsea and Bill Clinton continue to stand strong for Hillary's supporters and all Americans.

Nancy   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter but I must say, I was impressed with Hillary's interview on situation room today. I felt it was the first time I have seen her in a really favorable light. She seemed warm and genuine. I think she is really trying to ask for everyone's support of Barack should (when) he officially clinches the nomination. If she had campaigned this way all along I think we would be looking at a very different situation. I also know people who have met her and tell me she is the way we saw her today in real life. I feel better about having her be involved in the Obama administration should Barack decided to go that way.

OBAMA 08

john   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Come on guys, I support Obama but I still think Senator Clinton is a great candidate and I really feel shes a better person through this process. This process as not only changed a lot of things in America as we will find out in the future when we look back but the candidates themselves have metamorphosed. I do hope Hilary is put on the ticket so she we can use her expertise for this nation. We shouldnt throw the baby out with the bathwater. Obama will make a great president and so willl Hilary in spite of her issues. I do hope for an Obama/Clinton ticket. Then let Americans go to the polls to ask themselves the question, are they ready for a black /female to chart a new course for the nation, or would they rather stay the present course of McBush and its failed economic policies and bloodshed of American men and women in a war for oil, in a land where we are hated,a war which is making the terrorist richer and has ruined our economy and currency.

IH   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I am not an avid fan of Hillary and was contemplating not voting for her and staying home on election day. But unlike some pseudo-democrats here who proclaim that they will vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't get the nomination, I, however, was never going to vote for McCain. I was saddended by HRC's antics and the negative campaign she had run agaisnt a fellow democrat; however, after today, when she announced to her supporters that voting for McCain would be an error, I must say, she has been able to redeem some positive points back in her favor. If she continues on this path and stops dividing the party any further, I won't feel any hesitation voting for her if she is the nominee.

Helen Charles   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I would choke up also if I blew all that money to lose. Seems that 2012 is her next target since 08 is a done deal.

Joe White   May 14th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

This is sexist.. how come Obama can't choke up and get the same kind of response???

Ron R   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Im a big Obama supporter and a father...this is the first sign of emotions from her that I believe.....

Dustin   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

This is such a non-story. Watch the clip. She barely chokes up. My first reaction was that this was fake, but watching the video she seemed genuine, more so than when she talked about the lady in Indiana (If it's so personal for you then why don't you know her name hillary?). After watching the video I don't understand why this is even worthy of a mention on the ticker. Come on CNN. How about some real campaign news.

enoch needles   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

"So she's doing it because she's my daughter, but she's doing it because, as she says, she's a young American who cares about our future."

Oh, and she's doing it because it's a free trip to Puerto Rico.

JD   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

She's supposed to cry BEFORE primaries, not AFTER them. That's what the script says, at least.

dz in Austin   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

I've never read such dripple in all my lfe as most of the posts here.

Obviously none of you have ever been so proud of your children that get misty eyed. I have, and i certainly understand what she is feeling.

Your immature name calling and criticism of my candidate at every perceived opportunity completely turns me off to you and your candidate.

We'll see whi is crying after the general when the Hillary supports just stay home.

Beth   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

This Clinton supporter will vote McCain in November. And don't lecture me about "the issues". I will gladly give Bush his third term, just to teach a lesson to Obama's supporters.

Paul   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Chelsea 2016!

Vig   May 14th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

CNN – can you come up with a more "cherry picked" headline for Clinton – you people make me sick. Clinton should be outraged, not gracious when giving interviews to CNN, the way they have railroaded her nomination in favor of a lightweight, superficial egomaniac.

Kendall - Baltimore   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I am sure she cherishes her daughter, but Chelsea must feel like crying too! Did you see her after the Indiana primary? She and Bill were noticeably absent last night!

The real problem is that her tears could be genuine, but one would never know.

Patty   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Don't fall for it again, ladies!! She's trying to get us any way she can!!

Tania   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Hey, folks, people do choke up sometimes when they get emotional. You criticize if they're too cold, and you harp when they're tearful. Both men and women can tear up, can choke up, and it's just part of being human. The reactions here are because you either like or hate her, and your comments reflect that, whether or not she got choked up. Anyone's better that the moron that's been in the White House for all these years - and you elected him! Twice (well, almost). I don't think he's had a thought process in his grey matter at any point in his life.

Annie, Muncie Indiana   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I am for Mr. Obama 100%. However, I will say that I have watched the demeanor of this young woman and I think her Mother and Father has every right to be proud of her. Someday, she may run on her own behalf and hopefully she didn't get the "Clinton version of the truth gene."

sky   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Oh please! If she were truly a sensitive and caring individual she would be choked up about the fact she sold out her scruples in her attempt to be president.

saba   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

THOS WHO ARE CRITIZING HILLARY IN THIS TICKE:

I AM WOMAN- SUPPORTER OF OBAMA. BEING A MOTHER, I KNOW

I AM SURE, SHE CRIED OUT OF PRIDE! AND THAT IS NORMAL.

PEOPLE, PLEASE HAVE HEART!

Okjan   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

"She should have choked a little harder"? This is what Obama supporters are like!! These are the reasons we will not vote for Obama, not because he's a man of color, but because he is not ready to be president at this time, and it shows in his followers.
Hillary or McCain, not Obama this year

sally   May 14th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Chelsea Clinton is fortunate enough to come from parents wealthy enough that allow her to take a year off work, plus having the clout that her bosses let her take so much time off work. How many of our employers give us even sick leave?

Madalynn   May 14th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Go Hilary...we are proud of you. Tes-I agree with you, there is nothing about that woman that even matches Hilary. Both Obama's are cold and anti-american. America is blind, WAKEUP AMERICA. Perhaps you may when we are in the bread lines with our Harvard president who cannot relate to the real people of America. Michelle is creepy too, I will be insulted to have her as a first lady of our country.

Hillary Clinton has alot to be proud of. I have children of my own that are Chelsea Clintons age. I wish that my own kids supported and cared about me as much as Hillarys daughter. She turned out to be a fine kid.

Nate   May 14th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Easy now some of you. This has been a long race and she's probably spent more time with Chelsey than she has in 10 years. I am also an Obama supporter and despite my preference Hillary is a person and she has emotions. These may be real and who are we to judge. It's a non-issue in the campaign but let's not forget we're human, we're trying to get some place together.
When you look back at all of this we will have a greater respect for what's happened and the candidates. Hillary's given all she has. I don't agree with the way she plays and don't care for her especially, but she deserves some respect. We need to rise above the sillyness.

js   May 14th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

It amazes me how incredibly vitriolic people can be when they are writing anonymous comments. The fact that people choose to run for public office and put themselves out there for others to ridicule and demean is fascinating. What we wouldn't dare say to someone's face we freely put into cyber-space for the world to read.
Hillary had been scrutinized on everything from her pantsuits to her personal life, and yet we manage to find one more way to bash her on a daily basis. I'm for one am proud to be voting for Hillary in June in the SD primary, and proud that we have woman who is running for president. Say what you will about her, hidden behind your screen names, but she is a brave and dedicated woman who deserves our respect along with the other candidates who put themselves up for this type of public scrutiny. Could any of us withstand that type of pressure? I dare say not.

david   May 14th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

CB2   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Give me a break!!!!! I didn't see any tears.

Tex: you need to stop already!! Rev Wright's church has done more for the African American than our own government. So, please don't talk about Barack Obama being a member of the church. Rev. Wright did not speak those things every Sunday you ignorant person!!!

It is so easy for you to discount Barack, his wife and family. You don't know that man. Grow up please!!! I would love to see you run out of a job where someone says racial jokes, or church when the pastor/rabbi mention something controversial. Practice what you preach. Rev Wright said some very controversial things at the pulpit. And to me that is the only mistake he made. He is entitled to feel what he feels, but he should not have said it in church.

There are you happy...now get over it.

Darlene   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

You people just like to Hillary hate....sounds like you're jealous to me.....or maybe you feel threatened by her? What if she's just a good person that cares about America....has anyone ever thought of that?

Concerned Canadian   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Very sad to see all these Obamabots express so much hatred , mistrust and vulgarity.

I firmly believe, if Obama is the nominee and the Obama supporters keep this behaviour up when Obama is trying to run for President, these people will have no friends......McCain will be in the White House and thats the bottom line.

After this point in US politcal history, you'll never see an African American be a candidate for the Presidential nominee for either party
again.

To be pro-active on this matter, there will never be a Latino as a Presidential nominee either.

Travis   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

Clinton supporters your leader has spoken.

"..anyone who supported me ... needs to understand what a grave error it would be not to vote for Sen. Obama".

Can we please stop picking on Hillary now!!

Independent   May 14th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

At least she has the common sense to chastise her supporters that would choose McCain if she didn't win. I do appreciate her speaking out against that.

Jim South Dakota   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I am sick of her and wish her and Bill would just go away, go buy and island some where and do whatever it is they do. I am sick how any state that they win is a big swing state or a big state, or there is hard working white Americans. I guess if you live in the heartland or you are a hard working African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, etc... your vote just doesn't count as what is needed to win the presidental contest. I would bet money that some of these so called red states will be in the democratic camp this year, most are tired of Bush policies. Which is a reflection of the Republican Party. I am an Obama supporter. But you know for once I would like to see other political parties have candidates from the Green Party, or Independents etc... get equal air time to voice positions and have the opportunity to govern an American nation.

Marilyn   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Some of the posters before me must get some sort of satisfaction to be able to post things that are cruel. Who's paying attention to those types of comments anyways....Hillary's comments reflect her feelings about her daughter, Chelsea. Too bad if you didn't get that.....

Venus The Super star   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Clinton has done very well and I'm proud of her and her daughter Chelsea. All these Obama supporters are so negative it's disturbing.

Martha   May 14th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

It takes a strong family to bond together when there is so much negativity. Our country need someone with a strong family background. If you can stand together in the bad times, you will be able to conquer the task that is before you. I believe that the Clinton's have stood strong in this election because of their family values that make a difference in life. Yes, mistakes were made but who can judge a person real integrity without looking in the mirror. I commend Mrs. Clinton for running this race until the end. I appreicate their failures exposed in this election. It shows that they are human and not above the people in their country. I really have alot of respect for Mr. Clinton and Chelsea for supporting Mrs. Clinton to push forward and do not look back, and especially do not quit. I believe that if not for the negative judgment of their personal life she would have made America proud to call her President of the United States. Everyone has private closets that they do not want the world to open the doors. Just look at it like this Mr. & Mrs. Clinton what more can the world bring forth on your family. Hold your heads up and repent to the Lord and move on to the destiny that he has prepared you for. Because, others candidates will be exposed and then nobody can say they judged wrong it will be to late they will have to live with the consequences of the judgement that they have brought upon your family. With the election race you ran you should be crying rivers of water but do not stay there long get up and move on. When you know you have done your best in the end that is all that counts. I am very proud of you as being a lady that would not quit. I have much love and respect for you and your family.

TRACI   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I started not knowin alot about Obama and loved the clintons from before. I was not voting for her becasue she was a woman or him becasue he is half black. Peole forgrt that he is biracial and after following this race I have been very offended by some f the commens made by the Clinton and will vote for Obama if he is the winner. I will vote for whoever the democrat nominee is period and democrats need to do the same if you vote for Mccain because Obama is Black or becasue Hilary is a woman that is just Silly. We need a change and it starts with us voting for our chosen party . Mccain may have a great past but for America we need a new future to help all of us live better.

gerald strother   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Dusacre   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

Hillary, I feel your pain. It is time to let go. Accepting reality is not the same as quitting. You are spending more and more money that some one else will end up paying you back. This is not fair to those of us who have to sent you the very little we have. Edwards did not do.

Gilbert Muzquiz   May 14th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

She may be sincere...somewhere deep inside there may still be reminants of a decent human being. She however has covered that up with so many lies, ego, and unjustified language that she no longer knows who or what she really is. She now reminds me of BUSH on IRAQ...no matter what the results show, what the majority of Americans want...Let's continue with what I want.

cp   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Here we go. I'd bet 10 to 1 that Chelsea will run for political office one day – and get elected just because of name recognition. Momma and daddy are setting her up for it now. We Americans are such sheep. We don't deserve better government because we idolize these political dynasties.

There are 300 million Americans. Surely there are better leaders among us that the Clintons and Bushes. They have had their chance. It's time to move on. I am so glad that I got a chance to vote for an outsider like Obama, but he's quickly becoming an insider. Please do not ever vote for a Clinton, Kennedy, Bush, or Gore – for anyone from a political dynasty. These dynasties are a threat to our democracy. You don't have to pick Coke or Pepsi. There's so much more out there. Let's start with a black president who father is African and who grew up on food stamps, and then let's go from there.

greenfun   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

I saw Chelsea in Houston Texas. She was warm, intelligent and well versed on issues. She seems like a lovely person. As a parent I can see why Senator Clinton is so proud of her. We all want our children to be happy, involved and productive. Obviously a lot of love and good parenting were involved. I hear how so many people say Hillary Clinton is an awful, nasty person. My neighbor has a relative who worked very closely with her in the White House when she was First Lady, and he says she was amazing to work with-so focused and intelligent, but also very kind and thoughtful. Just thought I would share.

Nateru   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

LOL...perhaps Hillary is going through a "change" of her own!

Talimee   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

You guys disgust me. I choke everytime I speak about how proud I am of my mother and everything she has done and gave up for me. Why cant Hillary choke when she speaks about how proud she is of her daughter? We all do it!!! Either way, anything she does is wrong in your eyes. She is a wonderful woman who cares about this country, shame on you.

Phil   May 14th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Tex,

Why do Clinton supporters turn everything around to Reverand Wright?

Also, if you were objective, you would have listened to everything Michelle Obama said.

Unless you are a black person, I doubt you really understand the black experience growing up in America. I know I don't understand it but have tried to learn as much as I can.

It is time for the divisions to stop and come together to defeat the Republicans.

E. C., Houston, Texas   May 14th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

What saddens everyone is that Hillary Clinton is head and shoulders above Obama and she knows it, as do her supporters. She is by far the better candidate in qualifications and experience and know how.; however, the voters want to see another name in the White House. It is horribly disheartening to see one's fellow Senators who are being counted upon.... abandon their lifelong support in favor of one who is not as experienced or qualified, just because he is different. Obama doesn't have the slightest clue about how to handle the problems of this country. Not one person reading this comment has heard one solution or one idea from Obama, for he doesn't have a clue.

JS   May 14th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Hillary may win the popular vote - the super delegates should reconsider and back her...consider America as a whole and not just themselves and what position Obama promises them in his cabinet, etc.

Darryl   May 14th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Well wasnt that quaint....the story of the single mom, the boy who sold his bicycle, the old dying woman..I honestly do not know how the American public continuosly fall for the same old load of crap. Its time America chose a different kind of leader one that isnt playing the same old tune one that is bringing new ideas to the table as opposed to the same old replayed promises that are enver kept and usually never achievable. But i highly doubt that day will ever come.

Chelsea Clinton doesn't have a clue what it is like living in the real world. I am not saying this to be mean, but she has had a very sheltered life and has no idea what it is like to have to work 3 different part time jobs while trying to go to college, or to have to worry where the money will come from to buy gas to get to work. She has had secret service all of her life protecting her.

nick   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

you have to give her credit she has been bad mouthed, told to get out of the race, and yet she hanges in there . I do not believe that obama can beat Mc Cain but, hillery can. obama is not agood debater seems to get flustered when is confronted with some questions are asked. also the last thing we need in the white house is a chicago politician.

Paris   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Maybe because she is human and she really cares and believes that
she is the better choice for our country.
Maybe because she is the one that really understand what is at stake.
I will not vote for a democrat this election but if a democrat was to win I sure hope it is her and not an opportunist like Obama.

Worn Out   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Man. We have to have a bit more humanity then what is happening on these blogs. Everybody believes the other person's choice of candidates is the worst thing in the world, yet they are still human beings. This campaign is gruesome for them. They're busted on their feet. The wear and tear shows. Hillary is not manipulating. She is plain old wore out but still fighting. A boxer in the end rounds of a 15 rounder.

JR Veteran from New York City, NY   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

CNN please post my comment!

It's been wonderful to see how the Clintons exposed their daughter to this kind of drama. I applauded Senator Clinton for her tenacity on the campaign trail and her constant flow of denial and rules change.

Even Stevie Wonder could see through those fake smiles and her ambition to manipulate the Super Delegates to win the nomination. She cannot win the nomination without overrided the will of the people that vote in the primary. By trying so hard to get the nomination that she don't even deserve, by contantly acclaimed that she is the best qualified Candidate.

Please somebody tells me this. To my understanding, the main reason that we have a primary is solely to determine that who is in the Democratic Party is the best qualify that can win the GE. If you don't do too good in the primary, isn't it enough testimony that you will not be doing too good in the GE. Not enough votes, not enough Delegates, not enough States won, not enough money raised. If all that is not enough to drop out, I don't know what it is.

There're more Whites than Blacks in America. If Clintons were so brilliant, with all the spinns and racist comments that her and her husband are making, what is it that they cannot even defeat Obama. Think about it. CNN and Wolf Blitzer could spinn this anyway they wanted to, the true is too abvious.

My advice to the Clintons, before the whole Democratic Party is destroyed, for their love for the Country and the votes of the people they claimed they so love, please leave the race.

Sajan   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Choking, right wing conspiracy and lies are part of Clinton's legacy! Dems wake up!

Robert Wiseman   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

I think that those of you who are being so negative about this should do a gut check to see where your humanity has gone to. You are so blinded by your partisanship that true human moments are interpreted as manipulation. Give it and us a break. Don't post for a few days. I am proud of my daughters and can certainly understand how seeing your child up in front of a crowd day after day would make a parent choke up. Way to go Hillary Clinton and Chelse Clinton.

Lester Stubbs   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Why is the former First Lady, continues to bring up Florida and Michigan, when she new they would not be counted.

Jack   May 14th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Liar, liar, pantsuit on fire

shirley   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Hillary is the person who started the race, gender and religion campaign and now is back tracking, saying it is 'a shame'; Yes, it was a shame. I will give her credit for asking her supporter's to support the Democratic nominee, whomever it may be.

Jeff   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Diane, NY

I think your sniper fire comment was wonderful...

Democrat in Northwest   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

This was a sweet moment. Only a parent can feel the sweetness of it. There is nothing cry baby about it. Here is a mother expressing her pride about her daughter.

From the comments listed and all other comment regarding this race, it is scary to see the motivation in the voters' mind. I think we should have people's IQ checked before letting them vote. The sad thing is they multiply:(

Eric   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

How can a young boy under 18 give her campaign money? I thought you have to be an adult to contribute to political campaigns.......... Bosnia II?

Hillary is te real deal...   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

If you wanted to know how America gets it's most valued presidents, now you know.

How else would you want to see America represented?

I actually like Obama's message of change, but nobody can deny that Hillary's strength and perseverance is truly brining to light the core American values that we all hold dear.

The bottom line is that both Hillary and Obama are outstanding candidates, and McCain's continued neo conservitive Bush theology (for lack of a better word) will not blind the majority of us a third time.

Best wishes and blessings to all from a proud Roman Catholic Registered Democrat household...

Butch McGatto   May 14th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

I see that Hillary is trotting out her campaign theme song again – 'Cry me a river'. It's too late. The fat lady has also started to sing and they are about to bring the curtain down. The show is over, now get off the stage!

Jimmy VALENTE   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Best Liar in the world.
I never saw in my life somebody who wants to step on body of Nice American People JUST TO GET THE WHITE HOUSE.
Hillary, If you are sincere, why you are demolishing the best smart President we will get like OBAMA ?. Is it because he is Black. We do not care about the colour neither about the gender, but you must recognize that he is the best.
Now you are talking about your daughter as INTRODUCTION TO NEXT SHELSEA SENATOR AND PRESIDENT IN FEW YEARS. What else? Maybe in 30 years the son of SHELSEA, So we are in Monarchy here in America. Come on GIVE UP for the good health of American People and let Mister OBAMA make a KO to REpublican.

Dave   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Wolf Blitzer serves as the paradigm of the corporate networks elevating nonsence into news.

He asked Clinton about the economy and the war and the only answer that gets reported is her tear up over her daughter. Now I understand that Hillary Clinton appearing to exert human emotions may seem like news, but it is not.

Anthony   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Is this what you want answering the phone at 3:00am? She drives me up a wall.

Joe - Wilmington, DE   May 14th, 2008 4:30 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.

stop the madness   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

For all of you out there that's always talking about what a fighter she is, how strong she is why is she always crying, can you picture her facing a enemy nation crying. How many tears have she shed over our dying brave young men and woman that she was responsible for sending them to their deaths against the advise of our nation's advisers, she has not so much as said she was sorry for this let alone shed a tear!!!

I for one do not want a president that emotional only when it comes to her personal life, but expresses little to none for others. Neither Bush, McCain or Hillary can compare to other presidents that were faced with war, these rally on full of glee. She had the nerve to mention Lincoln during this race asking Obama for a Lincoln / Jefferson debate, well if she wants to channel Lincoln then she would be reminded how he weeped and cried over the lost of lives during the Civil war, he sure was not out and about pushing his own agenda.

Speaking of one's own agenda the only reason she is still in this race is to attempt to raise more money, money to repay HERSELF!!!!! EVERYONE knew she would win WV by a landslide, no big deal, she will take Ky. too, but the thing of it is there is no way for her to win, NO WAY unless the SDs give it to her after she has found a way to destroy the future of Obama, what kind of crap is this? EVERYONE KNOWS if Obama were in her situation he would have been gone, not because he is not strong, but because the DNC, Hillary's supporters and the nation would have DEMANDED he be gone!!

She is a user and a underhanded person, she knows and just about EVERYBODY KNOWS the only reason she is still in this is to recoup her MONEY, she is hoping for her blind suckers to send their money or for Obama to help pay her off just to get rid of her!!

Velma   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Hillary really needs to quit this acting job that she is pulling on this country. If she is so concerned about the country why did her campaign say yesterday that this is about Hillary first and the Party last.

Wendy   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

So, she would rather have some kid sell his bike and give her the money than drop out and let hard working americans (or their children) keep their hard earned money or bike as the case may be??

Hillary Supporter   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

You people for obamanot are incredibly ignorant! And, they say he has the "educated" voters! What a joke, you're probably a bunch of college kids blogging and getting paid a penny per post!

california kid   May 14th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

The Obama supporters are so rude I swear. Just because you don't like her you call her a fake. No matter, most of us Hillary supporters won't vote for Obama in November.

To Tex,

Dude get a life. If you don't like Obama, that's your right as an American. You don't have to defend your dislike for someone, so why you make up fake reasons to hate them is beyond me.

It has been stated several times over that Obama didn't attenend every service. Obama was a community organizer, and then he go into politics. Needless to say he was too busy DOING to be in church SITTING 6 times a month.

I don't care how anybody feels about it... All Rev. Wright did was point out the evil that this government (NOT the people, the adminstration – that's the difference people like you tend to get confused) is doing overseas, and to some in our very own country.

Being a proud American does not equal being blind.

jeff   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Tears again? Going to the well one too many times.

Jackie - Ft. Laud, FL   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

What's wrong with showing emotion? The obama supporters need to do some real soul searching, because your spiteful, demeaning comments just shows how ridiculous and utterly selfish and ignorant you really are. You're NOT democrats, this is not how democrats behave. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. As a lifelong democrat, I am so turned off by the new JUVENILE wing of the party and this destructive behavior and name calling that I'm changing my registration to Independent and who knows, I might just stay home in Nov.

kat   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Even though she can urge her supporters to support whole heartedly whoever the Democratic candidate is, the mean spirited comments of Obama supporters may be too much for her supporters to vote for him. What is wrong with people who are so filled with hate and anger? He can stop it if he's really leadership material.

libby   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I can not believe she is PROUD of the kind of people who voted for her in WV. When I see ALL the different young people from every nationality dying and fighting to defend this country, it makes me SICK to see those racist clowns that voted for her in WV with their racism and letting it be known that they would never vote for a BLACK. And pulease! Senator Obama has people of ALL nationalities voting for him. It is time to stop putting so much attention on the so-called white collar whites who are in this country. It was disgusting to hear the racist attacks on those decent Obama volunteers in WV and IN. If you don't want to vote for Senator Obama, then just don't! But atleast let it be a more valid reason. This country does not belong to one people, it belongs to united people. If these are the sorts of people that she relies on, then where will this country go if she is president???? She and Bill had their chance. There were a lot of things they could have done but didn't.

Tom   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

The Obama Supporters are out in full force. Can't you give the lady a break. She lost and now the Obama supporters have to rub it in. No wonder people who actually have kitchen table issues won't vote for Obama . They can spot pompous elitists, a la Dukakis and Kerry, a mile away.

Why is this comment censored?

Liar, Liar, plants on fire.   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I'm a strong Obama support but please stop bashing the Clitnions. I will vote Obama or Clintion in November. Their on the same team. Alot of people are acting like children not adults on this website. Obama = Clintion about 95% of the time. We needed each other.

Eric   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Maybe she's doing it cause its hard to find people to work for free. You cant afford to pay them.

Ryan   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

I've seen Hillary cry more times this campaign than I've cried myself in the past year. This plea to emotions from her is really getting old.

Dave   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Sorry folks, this crap works with women. She's behind in Oregon and so she cries. Watch – her polls number will shoot up now. She's is a calculating politician. She would EAT Chelsey if she thought it would get her elected.

noemi in los angeles   May 14th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

anonymous   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW YOU PEOPLE ARE TREATING HER. YOU'RE TOTALLY INSANE. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ELECTIONS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING WHEN HILLARY AND OBAMA DECLARED THAT THEY WERE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. THE REASON WHY I WOULD NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA IS BECAUSE HE'S A LIAR AND A CROOK. I AM A LIFE LONG HILLARY SUPPORTER, BUT IF CONDOLEEZA RICE WAS RUNNING AGAINST HILLARY, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD HAVE VOTED. COLOR OF THE SKIN DOESN'T MATTER, BUT WHAT THE PERSON DOES MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO ME.

WHEN OBAMA FIRST SAID AFTER PRESIDENT BUSH'S STATE OF THE UNION ADRESS LAST YEAR: "I WAS AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ. I GAVE A SPEECH ABOUT IT" THAT WAS THE END OF IT FOR ME. I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR A KID WHO STICKS OUT HIS TONGUE AND SAYS: "I DIDN'T DO IT!". IT'S JUST PLAIN WRONG! SORRY MR. OBAMA–YOU ARE A BIG FAILURE IN MY EYES REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY YOU RAISED OR HOW MANY STATES YOU WON.

Sonia Martin-Campbell   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Sonia,

LHC in FL   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

What an inspiring woman! She and her supporters are not quitters. Good on them. There are some spirit-lifting quotes in there:
"I don't believe in quitting."
"You go the distance!"
"You don't walk off the court before the buzzer sounds."
Yes, she has declared that "we are gonna finish this process." That's the sort of commitment I like to hear Senator Clinton!

I take it, then, that you are not calling for a withdrawal from Iraq? When you become President, you are going to work hard to "lift the spirits" of our troops so that they can "go the distance" in Iraq and Afghanistan? That's the sort of leader you are, yes?

And certainly, Senator Clinton, if somebody-say Obama-advocates quitting, and "walking off the court before the buzzer sounds"-you will oppose them, and support the candidate who is committed to victory in the Middle East?

True?

Hello?

Bill (Louisiana)   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Hillary mentioned it would be a mistake for her supporters to pick McCain over Obama. Well my answer to her is none of the democratic and repuplican candidates seem to get it. A lot of us are darn tired of voting the party line. I am voting for who I think is best for my future and my children. It is not Obama or McCain it is Hillary. If I had to pick one of the other two, I think I will throw up first. I have problems with Obama because I don't trust him because of remarks made by his spouse and his pastor. We tend to be very similar to our little circle we travel in.

PS: The remarks by his wife and pastor were made way after the Louisiana Primary.

Chris, Buies Creek, NC   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I think it is highly inappropriate to question Mrs. Clinton's tears over her daughter. Although not a parent, my parents have teared up when feeling proud of my brother and I.

After a 41 point drubbing at the hands of Mrs. Clinton last night in WVA, however, I understand the need Mr. Obama's supporters have in needing to show just how much they hate her.

Delldude   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

At least the Clintons do believe in America which that other white/America hating witch Michelle doesn't, and of course O-BAMA and that phony CHANGE crap he spews from those golden rehtorical lips of his will deflate fast, after the republicans take back the Congress and Senate after the Democrates poor showing in not ending Bush's Idiotic War in Iraq.

If this is the Best that AMERICA can show for Candidates in both parties we're in BIG TROUBLE.

you will all be sorry when obama becomes president as for mrs clinton i respect her as a woman and as a mother and i stand with her till the end cause i know in my heart she is the key to a better future unlike all of you who are blinded by obama star power and the media for destroying hillary with very unfair broadcasing throught this campain....you should be sued

Pat   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Oh, please. I'm really disgusted she uses tears to get her votes. Where is her strength as a woman. I would not want her to have access to the "red" phone.

bernadette   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Why is it that some of the Obama supporters are so very mean and mean spirited whenever someone just might show some very sincere and genuine emotion? You call it a sign of weakness. I would not want some of you as friends when I spoke with emotion about one of my children. How can you call yourselves "people of change" when you are still filled with hatred from years past?

KMAN   May 14th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Hey Tex, how could two young children have possibly managed to listen to anyone for 20 years? The name Tex is never a good sign that the individual will be very bright ... you are no exception!

Hillary is the best prepare to fit the president of USA.

I am sincerely to say from my heart as the fact, the Democrat party seems not favor in her for some reason, but I believe in Hillary only, and no matter how the Democrat party decision.

Jane   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Wow...you are all bitter.

I only see genuine emotion here. It's funny how people only see what they want to see.

KE   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

This race is important because Hillary stayed in, people felt their voices are being heard.

About 80 % of people think America is going in the wrong direction which I think 80 % of American people are just not happy with the current administration.

If Obama got a nomination in the early stage, even he was giving the right messages, many of us would felt cheated if we found out we were misinformed by the leaders of the country.

Because Hillary insisted on being heard when others tried to silence her, her perseverance showed people we can do the same. She truly represents American people and the silent voices of the majority.

Clare   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

If Hillary is nominated for the presidency, will she cry when the other countries try and tear her down. Or will she cry when the Senate or House Reps reject her Bills? I am so tried of her whining. Get tough Hillary. Be the man you make yourself out to be.

Marian DeRossett   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

I am a woman almost 62 years old and I am for Hilliary.I feel she has been slighted being a woman and I see this on TV and this is heartbreaking to me.Women have strived so hard and we are equal human beings not to be used as objects.Obama is still of the male gender and men have always been President.He is also of mixed race and half white.So when we speak of a black President it should be mixed race President. instead.I see the male role not wanting a woman to be in the big house and this is so wrong to us as women.Shame on you men.

A Proud Mother Who Can Tear Up..   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

If you have been a parent who has nurtured and watch anxiously as your child has grown up, escaped pitfalls, and has turned into a wonderful and accomplished human being who cares for others, you understand Hillary's tears. Hillary speaks from her heart about Chelsea.

If not...then 'zip it'.

This election, seemingly out of her grasp, has been grueling on her, her husband and daughter. They all desire thanks for all of their hard work in their commitment to service to our wonderful country..

Andrew   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

bloggers chill out you hillary hating. What reason do hillary supporters have to join your cause when you talk like that about her supporters and her. Wake up you new to the political world people. she's a democrat not unlike yourselves and you need her supporters votes. so stop your hateful comments.

vict   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

If OBAMA did anything like this or even less they will say he is whyning but when they do it they are emotional you guys can fool some people but not everybody it is over

Patriot   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

One of the many moods of Hilary? lol

I have to tell you people; every I recall Hilary's different moods of drama in her 'reality campaign', they just crack me up. lol

My favorite is, "Shame on you, Barack O'bama!"
Scolding like O'bama's mom. lol

O'bama ran just the opposite and smooth sailing campaign: NO DRAMA!

A nation as large and as powerful as ours needs a President with an even keel - No Drama O'bama!

KP, FL   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Tex,

I'll tell you what they think. They think the same thing as all of the supporters of Obama do, that this great (not always good) nation is in need of change. And as soon as Obama is elected president, I will be very proud of my country for the first time in my adult life as well. By the way, I am proud, just not very right now.

Ohio Citizen   May 14th, 2008 4:27 pm ET

Well Chelsea is pretty cool. She should be proud. You all should just shut up. As a parent, I understand how she feels.

Rita   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Obama supporters truly display their true colors. How can you call yourselves Americans when you have so much hate and so easily express it? Continue expressing your hate, just remember someday it will come back to hunt you.
Just proves that Hillary is a person who will stick close, listen and cares for not only her daughter, but also her country.

CNN, Report The News!   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Rev Wright.....oh thats right he didn't hear him say those things. ...MO.....proud of the first time...oh now wait...she didn't mean that....This is why the party will never come together....this is why I will vote for McCain. Atleast he has something to say.....And not just a nice speech....if I want to be preached to I will go to church.....And if you watch something other than cnn you will find out a lot more about this man......but wait, you don't want to hear it.

rachel   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

you guys are ridiculous, the obama supporters that is. I mean no mention that she said that it would be a mistake for her supporters to vote for mccain over Obama ? of course not, because Obama supporters like to find anything belittle Hillary about. POST CNN.

NOT THIS TIME, HILLARY.

Fernando   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

You are the reason this party is falling apart, you are obnoxious and BLIND !

Florida-livin   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Just a question but how come the Clinton camp believes that they would do so well in Florida when every on knows she got half the votes in Fl and Mi. off name recognition. The media never says his but if they both campaigned here it would hard fought and the margin would be nowhere near what the spin cycles claim. I am here and i like rules. some Floridians know that there are rules. Regardless and we have to abide by them. if we want to blama anyone blame Gov. Christ.

Chris, Middletown, CT   May 14th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

You have to be kidding….the crying Clinton is out again?? I thought that was on the schedule for Friday…..not Wednesday….I guess I have the weeks mixed up….

Please PLEASE HRC supporters…..research her many positions….don't vote on gender or race….vote on character and policy….and that will lead you to Obama….

Debbie,NJ   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

She should get a nice payment for doing this interview. I hope she uses it wisely and pay her bills and not put out campaign ads.

sally Stovall   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

3 Questions for HIllary:
#1- You keep claiming you have a lot of experience. Can you precisely specify what experience you have? I only know of being a senator and First Lady of US and Arkansas. Are you implying that you and Bill had a co-presidency that gives you experience that Barack does not have? (that you were the woman behind hte man?) Or that as First Lady you were privy and part of major national decisions which you were not elected to do?
#2 Before you entered the MI & FL races, you and those states knew that the delegates would not be seated because they chose to violate Party rules. (Explains why Obama didn't run). How can you now insist on a change of the rules AFTER the fact? How can you insist on changing hte rules after the game is played?
#3 How can you insist on helping people out of their mortgage problems when they got themselves into it? If they took the gamble and lost, why should the rest of us who work hard, and live conservatively have our tax dollars bail them out? Vegas doesn't refund gambling losses. We taxpayers shouldn't either. If they didn't read, and make sure they understood what they were signing, then they shouldn't have been signing, or else had hired someone to help them.

Ito, Yokosuka Japan   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Oh Lord, here comes the rain...By the way Tex, I wonder what Chelsea thinks after 28 years of listening to her parents. Oh, the horror...no wonder Chelsea's a robot. Just like the Clinton's would like every other American to be. The sooner Hillary Clinton is out the better off we all shall be. It must be quite painful for her to have to bridle her venemous tongue. The Clintons have always thought highly of themselves.

Rich   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Just another drama queen...all that was missing was a box of tissues and a violin...turn off the tears Hillary and go bake some cookies

Christina-KY   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

oh and tex...proper grammar please...typical uneducated

LINDA,FL   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

what was that about?

We are lucky – clintons do not have grandchildren – otherwise we will follow with them to kinder garden to listen same phony baby talking there.

Still – who is paying NOW for all those trips, including to PR?
And who is paying those vendors in rural areas?

Seems – nobody.
So...what this woman is promising us , hardworking Americans of all colors , when she is not paying her bills?
My bank would not credit me, when i am not paying.
Why should we credit our votes to this irresponsible person?
p.s. I also thought, Candidate is paying from her own pocket for ice-cream, not waiting for the aids with campaign's check book with insufficient funds.
(That is about aiming to rule the economy of the Great country).

Oh, well.
It is time for me to send next check to Obama.
Is there any fool to send check to clintons?

Concerned   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

How do you people (bloggers) think we can come together in June to be unified if you keep writing hate comments. It only divides us in November and we lose.

The Republicans are also blogging hate comments to keep us divided come November. Don't let them do ths to us!

Unite Democrats...........unite!, please!

Henriette Wayne   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Holy moly, she's got a whole slew of personalities: Cuckholded Wife, Pistol Packin' Mama, Jive-Talker (at black chuches only), War Hawk, Peacenik, Feminist, Sweet Old-Fashioned Girl, Karla Rove ("Obama's not a Muslim... as far as I know.") Poor Bill Clinton, how does he deal with it? Not that they live together, mind you...

James   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Between the crocodile tears and the "pander" bear, it's getting to be a real zoo at the Clinton campaign.

M Philllips   May 14th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Hillary has probably watched Spencer Tracy show how easy it is to make yourself cry in Adam's Rib. He makes the point to Katharine Hepburn that crying is very effective when you are trying to get the result you want( for men and women).

Punisher   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Maybe some of you here are not proud of your children or your parents are not proud of you that's why you're acting up in the internet like a bunch of juveniles.

A GEORGIA MAMA THAT LOVES OBAMA!!!!   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Go home Clinton, you and your husband, and daughter have had your time in the White House for 8 years. It's time to give a new generation a chance to see what they can do. If your or Bush's presence in the White House would have made a difference, this country would not be in the mess that it is in today.

ACTUALLY, SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE BUSH ADMIN. WERE INHERITED FROM YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND'S PRESIDENCY!

So stop calling the kette black! Why do you think just because your husband was President, you should be President! This is not England!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

James   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Cry ME A RIVER!

FAKE

Jeff Illinois   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Sorry Senator Clinton, this is the only area in which we disagree. While many in our party would like to move forward without learning a thing from the past, that doesn't work well in politics, or in people. Some of us can think more than five minutes in front of our faces to know (and we knew it years ago) that you should be the nominee and Sen. Obama should be the V.P. The White House for sixteen years. I towed the party line in our last elections, and I'm not doing it anymore. It is our way, or the highway for the Democrats.

Obama; Still Winning   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Chelsea, who I do think is probably a great daughter and also probably pretty bright, has done nothing. She has held town halls and meetings with no press allowed for the entire campaign. I can understand if she were 17, but Chelsea Clinton is an adult, a Stanford graduate, and a professional. She has not stood on her own two feet at any moment and been a part of the debate. She has not been a part of the discourse. She has been a cheerleader.

Singing her daughter's praises now, and choking up while doing so, wreaks of post-feminist pandering. Give me a break.

Oh, and Chelsea, what goes on in the Oval Office is every Americans' business. A blue-blood American princess should know that.

shirley.roybal,surprise,az.   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

GO ALL THE WAY HILLARY WERE WITH YOU ,AND APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THE THREE OF YOU HAVE DONE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE AND FOR OUR COUNTRY ,YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY AND I PRAY THAT ALL VOTES WILL BE COUNTED,INCLUDING FL. AND MI.THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CHOICE,WE WILL STAND TOUGH AND AT THE END WE CAN ALL BE PROUD THAT WE DID IT THE AMERICAN WAY,AND VOTED IN THE BEST QUALIFIED CANIDIATE TO TAKE ON THE BIGGEST MESS THIS COUNTRY HAS SEEN,YOU WILL PREVAIL AND WE WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING BACK ARE ECONOMY.HEALTH CARE AND BRING THE WAR TO AN END.HILLARY -08 AND BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

She's proud of her daughter....how many of these people commenting feel the need to distort that? Just because you support Obama, doesn't mean you have to be an idiot.

Martin, Amsterdam, Netherlands   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

OK... Chelse 2012!!!

Debbie,NJ   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Hey Tex, you really believe Hillary is sincere? WOW!

Bodine, Flushing, NY   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Those of you who think Sen. Clinton was faking it when she was taking about her daughter during the interview are heartless and childless.

GL   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

cunning stunt.

Eli   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Im sorry did this article say tears came into her eyes. I did not read that but hey maybe some of you are psyhic. But I would have to say if she did she was talking about her child which has done very well in this world. She is a very smart young lady. I think most MOMS would. Once again though I did not read tears in this article.

American   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Hillary is good for country, see how she had raised her daughter.

Hillary for President.

Tom in Desoto, Tx   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Ah, the CRYING GAME again. Hello New Hampshire. The last time she MAY have cried was when she found out the Monica episode wasn't a right wing conspircy, and that would have been because everyone would know she's NOT the FIRST LADY, or second or third, etc.

Dear Hillary, Since birth, have you had a sincere moment? If so, name a few....

candoo   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

To Martin in PA....

If obama teared up, he would show us that he is human. We haven't seen the human part yet.... I'm not sure it's in there.

CA Independent Chris   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Contests won with over 60%:

Obama – 15
Clinton – 2

Sounds like there is a mandate. The country overwhelmimgly supports Obama.

Blake   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

You Obama fans are a pretty angry/cynical group aren't you? How is crying about being proud of your daughter any more of a gimmick than running around the country promising "change" (aka one of the most abstract political term ever).

Best Candidate 08'

conservative   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

What a n actress!

Tom from Atlanta   May 14th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

arghhhhhh....why Hillary. I'll sue you for emotional stress:(

Mac in Nova Scotia   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I choke up every time I see her on TV or hear her voice.

Geeez   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Sybil's back.

FEED UP   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

GIVE ME A BREAK I AM 62 YRS OLD AND SHE IS TOO OLD TO KEEP THIS MESS GOING. HER AND BILL ARE BOTH CRY BABIES
ACT LIKE AN ADULT.

George C Johnson   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Is she also proud of the fact that like she and Bill, Chelsea can't seem to tell the difference between the truth and a lie.After all she was with her mother in Bosnia and didn't bother to correct her on the 'tall tale "about sniper fire. That apple didn't fall far from the tree!

Ida, Toronto   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

If you like to see these tears more, vote for Hillary Clinton ... she promises to cry once a week as the president of the USA ...
There you go ... one thing Obama CAN'T do

Eric   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Martin in PA May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

If Obama teared up, it would be ridiculed as a sign of weakness. But Hillary can use this ploy whenever she wants to get the "sympathy vote." Ridiculous. Those are crocodile tears!!!!

LOL! Martin, your a genius.

Bacio83   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

My God all these jerks a woman can't even get a tiny bit emotional talking about her daughter without ya'll acting like morons. Here's a clue Obama doesn't choke up because he has no emotions. See how cruel that is.

Ya'll need help.

HRC 08!

Plainsman   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

I'm not saying one way or another whether these are crocodile tears, but I will say that it is telling that no other candidate has cried. Not even Dennis Kucinich ; )

Suraj   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

The Clintons were not ready from “Day One” and they lost the race for the democratic nomination; however, because of their personal ego and most importantly their lobbies’ objectives, they have set out to divide the Democratic Party so that it cannot win the November election. The Clintons have started to run their 2012 campaign already.

Why is the Democratic Party allowing the Clintons to spend their fortune to divide the party ? Why is this happening?

Michael   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

She'll be crying for real in a few weeks when Obama wraps up the nomination.

Punisher   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Hillary and Bill raised their daughter right. A parent's success is measured how their children turn out to be when they reach adulthood.

Nija   May 14th, 2008 4:23 pm ET

Nowadays when someone tears it reminds me of Hilary. Do you ever tear up when you talk about Bill Hilary? Comon now

Janel, St. Paul, MN   May 14th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Oh come on guys!

I'm not a Clinton fan, but I have admired Chelsea's efforts in her mother's campaign. And. . .as tired as Senator Clinton must be. . .and as disappointed as she must feel, I guess she is entitled to tearing up.

bob   May 14th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

This women has to be bi-polar. I am sure there are some suckers out there who will fall for it again. Obama 08 yes we can.

Candy West Virginia   May 14th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

It feels like de ja vu. Didn't she do this crying thing before, wasn't it New Hampshire? GOD she is disgusting! Using her own daughter to draw sympathy. Sorry lady, we're not all uneducated white people or dumb for that matter.

William DiMartini   May 14th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Here we go again...it worked in New Hampshire, maybe it will work for the remaining primaries.

When will Sen. Clinton begin to consider what's best to get a Democrat into the White House, and concede? To think that this continued rivalry between her and Sen. Obama is healthy (now that we are in May) is ridiculous.

Gerardo in LV   May 14th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

She´s pulling the same stunt she did the day before the NH primary. Sorry! You can't fool us twice.

Diane, NY   May 14th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

She should be crying over the families who have lost loved ones to sniper fire. She should be crying for the men, women, and children of those that face that REAL threat every day. At least Chelsae is safe.

kk VA   May 14th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Like Justin said, Cry Me a River!

Tex   May 14th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

It nice.....

To see Hillary cherish her daughter...... At least she proud to be an American..... Not for the first time like Michelle Obama.....wondering what her kids think of American after listening to Wright for 20 years?

Dante   May 14th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

She should have choked a little harder. >;-)

Obama08   May 14th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Puh-lease! Here we go again with the crocodile tears. Give it a rest, Hillary!

Cindy   May 14th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

I've lost all respect for Hillary awhile back!

Jack, Chapel Hill, NC   May 14th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Yeah, Obama is in effect campaigning against three Clinton's and he is getting the nomination. Great success!!

Obama '08

Independent   May 14th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

People – STOP being so nasty to Hillary Clinton! If you had raised a daughter who seems as nice and well-adjusted as Chelsea Clinton, and she was out there working hard for you every day, you would feel pride as well!!!

I'm not even a Clinton supporter, but enough is enough! This woman has worked incredibly hard to run a campaign for the most important office in the land and YOU OWE HER SOME RESPECT.

BillyBob Clinton   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

The crying is for herself, as she realizes that all of her advantages and the gift wrapped platter she thought she was owed, i.e. the Democratic nomination, are now just part of her own delusional fantasy.

LesVa.Beach   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

"Crocodile Tears"

Ron Larson   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Looks like her acting coach has taught her well. Or did she learn this from her "husband." We rememeber all too well the Clinton presidency madam. The Vince Foster "isssue" Travel Gate and your attempt to destroy people that ended up costing taxpayers because of your illegal and corrupt actions. Whiteater and the people indicted and charged from you and your husband's administration. The failure of your health care fisaco. Waco, Ruby Ridge, the failure to do anyhting against islamic extremists, your beleif in the vast right wing conspiracy when we all knew immedialtely that your husband AGAIN was having an affair. The settlement with Paula Jones, the intimaidation you used against Juanita Broderick when she was about to press charges against your husband for raping her. The pardons. Eight years of you and Bill's lies, obfuscations, are the reason why you will never enter the White House.

Venus   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

She is a great daughter!

Go Obama!

Theresa   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

If you all are such Hillary HATERS why do you read the entries about her....What a hateful bunch of bloggers.

Desmond Sequeira   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

We really appreciate the great mother-daughter bond and the daughter's probable caring for the USA. Most mothers and daughters among us know about that.

Still, on almost all counts from Integrity to Electibility, OBAMA is still by far the best President the USA can hope to have for a long time to come. This should be mightily CLEAR to everybody.

I am sorry to say this but, that Mrs. Clinton was not presidential, or even vice-presidential, material was clear to many, including me, long before she announced her candidacy. During her campaign she only gave us conclusive proof.

Alma   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hillary 2008!!!

sv   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

.....or maybe she's doing it because since you leftthe White House, you've been able to rake in 109 Million bucks and she is somehow now qualified to manage a hedge fund.

i think those crocodile tears are pathetic.

Lynne   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

You folks are plain crazy! Is there any sane person who believes that Hillary doesn't care about her daughter and would therefore get legitimately choked up talking about her.

yeswecan2   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

COME ON Hillary...Not this again!!

Jeny, Bay Area CA   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

oh shut up already, you sore loser

hillary 08!   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

and let me hog up the whole comment area with this.....

IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
HILLARY IS NOT ON THE TICKET,
I and a zillion people will write her in!
or vote for McCain....

so the Obambees.... get YOUR tissues out.

Perry   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hillary chokes up.. voters gag in reaction.

Tristan, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

she cries, she's fake, she doesn't she's a man. which is it? people do have real emotions. obama supporters are the most vile, hateful, cynical people EVER! odd how they're supporting a candidate that are the complete opposite of what they are...

and btw, a gimmick is something that is promising on the outside but little real substance... sounds like obama to me...

Tired of Hillary   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

This is sad the same old crying game!!! This time it is not going to help you!!! Be a big girl and call it like it is. I would advise you to bow out gracefully but thats not in your bag of tricks!!! To bad.....

Rebecca   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

. . . This episode kind of reminds me of MOMMY DEAREST. Oops, sorry Joan Crawford.

Sandy   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

As a mother and a daughter, I get emotional when my daughters are openly proud of me. I also find it especially gratifying when my mom speaks highly of me. I think HIllary is a real person....would be incredible to me if she weren't emotional regarding the efforts that Chelsea has made on her behalf.

Marv...   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

I'm an Obama supporter and I too think it's great to be proud of your children, as am I. I'm not running for president of the United States so I will feel at liberty to shed a tear or two, but Hilary.... please stop crying. We never saw you shed a tear when Bill was messing around with his office buddy.... Turn off the water works.... please.

Anonymous   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

What did she choke up? A hair ball?

G in NH   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hey, fellow Obama supporters...knock it off!

If you remember the Clinton presidency, those two vehemently protected Chelsea. They absolutely do love her. I doubt those tears are fake.

Plus...Hillary just said that it would be a mistake for any of her supporters to vote for McCain. She's coming around. We have to welcome her with open arms.

Speaking of which, she's always armed for bear. It'd be great to have her on our side.

Dianne   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

This woman is a DISGRACE to our gender!

Crocodile tears again is it, Hillary?

Tell me, Wolf, did she actually shed a tear this time?

It's time for this woman to retire. No one wants a 'cry baby' in the White House.

Can't get your 'own' way, Hillary? Cry us a river!!!

Nafiadi   May 14th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Bill/Hillary are smart. they are preparing their doughter for POTUS in 2020.

James   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

How is this news? I guess she is trying to find her voice.

Chris   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Wow! Hillary please just go away your hurting our party and your husbands name.

Rick from Bowie   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Please go away! The crying game is old. Exit stage left...

Democrat   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I'm not a Hillary supporter, but I admire Hillary Clinton and as a mother I do believe that she's very proud of her daughter!!

BTW no matter how emotional she gets, I believe Obama is going to be our democrat nominee..

GO OBAMA!

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

There, there, Hillary. Did that nasty Obama spank you in Oregon? Bad man, bad man. Here, have some milk and – never mind, you don't do cookies!
:)

BIFF, BIFFINGTON...   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

I am a huge obama supporter...

so she had a moment regarding her daughter, as any proud parent would.

let's not get nasty on this one.... Please...

please, let's not crucify her....

Tom   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

The Obama Zombies are out in full force. Can't you give the lady a break. She lost and now the Holier Than Thou Obama crowd has to rub it in. No wonder people who actually have kitchen table issues won't vote for Obama and his ilk. They can spot pompous elitists, a la Dukakis and Kerry, a mile away.

CES   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Sen. Clinton – Gov. Dean just called – he said something about destroying the party – you can cry all you want – just leave PLEASE

Cry me a river   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

This is why she should not be President. We need someone in office that can handle emotions. We don't need someone who is going to cry all the time. This is twice now she has either let her tears flow. Is she doing this as a ploy now thinking she will get more votes? Who knows, but the United States needs a President who can handle extreamly emotional times and not fall apart. Wheather we look at it this way or not, mant\y countries will see this as a sign of weakness. That is the last thing we need right now!

vic m.   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

It is better for Hillary to accept defeat now and may be receive the vp position than to be stuborn till the end and gain nothing.
It is very clear to the whole world that she has lost the game, even among her friends.
I think what she is doing now looks foolish to even a baby.

Leah DiMarco, Texas   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Millions of women in America have daughters that they are proud of. Senator Obama has TWO daughters that he is proud of.

Of course Chelsea wants Hillary and Bill in the White House – Chelsea will get the perks ;)

Hillary never does anything without a reason and if she choked up on TV then it just another ploy to drum up votes.

Come on America don't fall for it again!

No more Bush/Clinton/Clinton/Bush etc...

America needs change – America needs Obama

Robin   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

She is so good in that. Maybe she gets some votes again. Is she also going to cry at 3am when she picks up the red phone?

Dale, Cincinatti   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Mrs. Clinton is an impressive woman. It is too bad she wants to be President for selfish reason's. I would have voted for her, but it is obvious she is self motivated, by the way her campaign "Changes" all the time. Mr. Obama is steady (except to defend himself from her attacks)

Lisa in Canada   May 14th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Such a Drama QUEEN. I don't know what America is gonna do with her. GOOD LUCK. I pray for us all, cause if America makes that decision we are DOOMED.

Hillary or McCain!

Robert   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Good for you, Hillary. Show emotion!! Let the people who claim you are heartless, now whine because you show you aren't. Obama supporters are the poorest sports I have ever seen. If you aren't for him, they hint that you are racist. They can call Hillary "a monster" but if someone speaks out that he isn't specific about much that he will do, they cry that we and Hillary are being negative. Trust me, for the first time, this democrat will be voting Republican if Obama is the nominee. I would prefer a split government, democratic congress and republican president, than having Obama as president. Now, you poor whiners, call me a racist.

WDC   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Hillary has everything planned – do not ever think she is not extremmely bright and extremely dishonest. She is nothing but a pile of half truths. EVerything is calculated, and there is no level too low for her to stoop to.

charles   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

who cares.

spencer   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Hillary Your are definately the best choice for president....Don't Let Howard"the duck"Dean try to bully you about Florida and Michigan..Stand you ground...And after the process is over he needs to be fired..

Jon   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Why is this even a story? So she got emotional, so what!

sb   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Here we go again. What a load of crap. They will lie, cheat and anthing else. Does the country really need a president that crys at the drop of a hat or uses it to gain sympathy support.

Peter   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Obama supporters you are a copy machine.
HILLARY 08 THE MOST QUALIFIED AND PREPARED

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Gag me with a spoon – since when does a frigid ruthless person ever shed real tears.

It's another act. What does she want now? $20 million of sympathy donations?

Danny   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

What's you mean about "CHOKES UP"? Did Obama lobby in the Hill is not a CHOKES UP? This is bad MEDIA your just want to knock Hillary down and your MEDIA is not American at all.....support a divided candidate. So, my question did your guy proud of your children? I think every should proud of our children when they doing some thing good like
Hillary daughter. Look Obama wife proud to be American in first time too
this is not a CHOKES UP?

Angus McDugan   May 14th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

I have not problem it Hillary Clinton. I am a african-american male age 39 in GA. I have always and will be a Hillary fan. I did support Barrack not because I am black because I believe in what is is speaking. Please let judge people for people and not for anything else.

Andrew   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Being proud of your daughter is nice. But this feels calculated and I think the American people see through it.

there comes the drama queen... on stage again! but then, it's the climax. it is about to get over. give her the freedom to do whatever she wants.

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Okay nice try Billary, Didn't we see this before in New Hampshire, crying just to get voters to be sympothetic to you. What's the old saying FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME. Won't happen this time, I telling you people this split personality at it's best. DROP OUT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paige, NC   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

You know I truly want to believe Hillary but this 'smells' of a publicity stunt. Wolfson (who interviewed her) is a devout Clinton follower.

I am sure she is a great mother and is proud of her daughter but I don't buy the tears. A woman who makes it this far has to be tough as nails and the Clinton's will do anything to win a few votes. Maybe if she didn't leave such a trail of lies and deceit throughout her campaign I would buy it but it's too little too late.

Jeff, Hampshire, IL   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Obama never cries. Not even with a roundhouse kick to the face by Chuck Norris.

Mr. Los Angeles   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

She has perfect timing with things like this.

She ran a great race, but I think we should turn the page. I wish her the best...I know she really wanted it and she cares but the people in her corner messed it up for her. Bill and her aids destroyed her chances.

Obama 08

Seam, Florida   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

It's too late to start crying. That worked in New Hampshire, but it will not work now.

Go cry yourself to sleep. Maybe someone will call you at 3am to wake you from your nightmare.

hillary 08!   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Hillary would be winning by 100's of delegates if we added it up the republican way...

and for those of you putting her down....

the only loser is YOU!

Hillary VP 08' and P 12'

Harold   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Here come the waterworks again!!!
Jesus-H-Christ, Hillary. She'll do just about anything to screw up this primary. So now, I suppose every woman is going to feel sorry for her and change their support. Whatever!

Media blackout Date May 15th   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

THOUSANDS of Mothers cry each day thinking of their child who died in Iraq based on of Hillary's vote.

NOT THIS TIME HILLARY!

You are TOAST!

Hillary Clinton, the Gimmick Candidate

Do and Say Anything '08 ! :D

Steve in DC   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Too late...the tears wont help you this time...not enough time or states or delegates left. Maybe you can use the tears for your run in 2012.

Democrat first!!   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

For heaven's sake don't you have some real news to report? I am glad she is proud of her daughter but since when is it national news when a candidate chokes up? I know it helped Hillary in New Hampshire but I really don't think even Hillary would appreciate being characterized as a typical "weeping woman."

Please give us some real news, guys.

karen   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

When all things fail..do the simpathy trick...She is so......desparate.

Delta Dave   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Oh, it's crying time again, I'm going to leave you! How appropriate. Whilst it is nice that she is proud of her daughter supporting her, the fake emotion from someone who is as iron-cold as her is laughable. If she was a better actor, maybe it would be believable. I'm afraid the "Sniper Fire" incident completely soured me on her credibility. However, I will watch the interview, if only to see what a defeated presidential nominee looks like.

Eddie   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

All that money the Clintons got,get me a job making six figures that I did not earn and I would campaign for you too.She is a spoiled brat that thinks her family is entitled to everything they want.

frank   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

If these elections are redone, Hillary will win. But it may be a little too late.
However, if Hillary is not the nominee, Democrats will lose the presidency again. Too bad!

Kitty   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

You people are so cruel! Hillary is very proud of her daughter, and we are proud of both of them.

J J   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Do you want a president who cries when the phone rings at 3:00 am?

MovingOn   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

She should be proud of her daughter. Although I don't care for her Hillary's personality I care even less for McCain and I am glad Obama has pretty much won. Let's pull this thing together and change the course of our nation. I am so tired of the loss of hope I have felt. It's time to feel good about ourselves again and work toward a new future!

Duane, WA   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Poor little rich girl....playing the cry card

EndtheClintonEra!   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Drama queen. She'll do or say whatever is needed to get her votes. It's amazing to me to see how racist the West Virginia population seem to be .... sad to see in 2008. I thought we were behind that by now.

Chyrel Wallace-Jackson, Chicago Illinois   May 14th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Hillary for the love of God do what is in the best interest of the American people, the country and the democratic party. In years to come when you have really had a chance to look at yourself and all the devision you have caused, and all the many hateful things that you have done and said during this campaign I hope you have a real moment of self reflection and feel bad about it all. It's just terrible that Chelsea would have to witness such ugly behavior from someone that used to be such a highly esteemed person of substance. I feel real bad about that.

Eyes   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

And this is news? She is milking every sentiment that she can. After all, a tear filled eye has brought votes in this election before this. But I can recognize crocodile tears.

LOLerskates   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

I think we need a president that breaks down in tears. That will strike fear into our enemies.

CP-Texas   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Don't like her, but I can understand her pride in her daughter and getting emotional about it. However, fool me once, shame on me, try and fool me twice, shame on you!

Obama 08'

James, CA   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

You people really need to get a life. You slam her if she shows no emotion, you slam her as fake if she does. She's proud of her daughter, big deal! Just goes to prove the American electorate pays attention to everything but important issues. CNN shouldn't even be writing a story about it. But it sure did catch the intended audience...

carolinas   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

It is alright to have emotional attachment to your daughter Chelsea and to America. But you lied, did very negative campaign against Obama and not trust worthy when it comes to money, taxes and your experience. Please gracefully leave and really help Obama as you said in the media.

Obama has a good organisation skill, intelligent and honest.

Obama 2008..

tar   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

I guess since Sen. Clinton cried the last time and picked up some votes, then she will try to get some more votes by crying.

I do not know whether she is bipolar, schizo or just will try anything to get votes.

Phyllis in Buffalo   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Oh no.....here she goes again. I'm sorry but I am just sick of this woman's face! Please Hillary, concede so we can get on with some serious campaigning for the general election. Have some pride, check your ego at the door and let's get on with getting the republicans out of the White House. You have got to know by now that you're just hurting the party. You can't really be that delusional, can you?

Crystal Mitchell   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

We understand, what about Bill??????????You have not choked up about him throughout this whole experience.You even had your daughter speal about how you would be a better president then your husband was. What was that about? Anyway you have to cry you are a woman. Not a man, a woman. Stop crying . Rejoyce welcome to the Obama team!!!!!!!

zina   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

I'm sure that she's proud of her daughter, but it's so hard to believe this isn't scripted coming from her. It's been known for sometime that the Clinton campaign is trying to push a "softer side". Sorry dear, I'm not falling for it again.

ChangeWeCanBelieveIn   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

If Hillary is unable to keep her emotions in check and remain composed during a CNN interview, how can we expect her to do so during truly critical moments? Like at 3am, when the phone rings....

bringin the pain   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

white people love there kids, but you losers wouldnt know that

Pamela, Sacramento   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Oh well, if sympathy helped the first time, why not try it a second...
PLEASE!!!!!

Joe in NoVa   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Oh, come on you cynics. She's not talking about how much she believes she is the best and crying because others don't realize it. She's crying because she loves her daughter and is proud of all the hard work she's put in during the campaign. Give Clinton a little credit.

Mike   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Don't be so hateful people. We are all in this together, and she can no longer win. Time to start being Democrats not Obama or Clinton supporters. Lets come together and get this thing done! The last thing we want to do is alienate the Clinton supporters and drive them to McCain because then we have failed on so many levels.

TF   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Chelsea should be commended for dignified behavior out on the campaign trail. Although I don't see a political future ahead of her, I'm sure she will be very successful in her own right.

That being said, however, it's time for her mother to end this race and unify the Democratic party going forward. Perhaps Chelsea, more than anyone, is best in a position to share this message with Senator Clinton.

Fedup   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

What's wrong with a woman being proud of her daughter? First she's seen as not being human enough, and when she lets us see her human side some people scoff. Typical of our male oriented society! Hillary for President - you go girl!!!

mrtulip   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Cry me a River, or better said I got tears in my pants when she goes emotinal again.

Media blackout Date May 15th   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Really......

Again......

okay.....

she's doing it because she knows her role in the Clinton family saga and thinks in 8 years she too can gimmick the American people to electing her president.

Hey Hillary, please tell us about that sniper fire again please.

Joseph, Los Angeles   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

The race card was played in WV and it's hard to have any feelings for her tears. I hope Mr. Obama does not pick her for VP. The Republicans would rally against that ticket so strongly we Democrats would lose big time. They don't mind Obama but her negatives would haunt his campaign and destroy it.

Repubican   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Do we really need a President who is constantly crying to get media attention? Come on! Is she going to cry when she gets that 3 am phonecall?!!

kelley   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

OH CRY ME A RIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL B SO GLAD WHEN THIS IS OVER!!!!!!!!! OBAMA IS THE WINNER, WAKE UP NUTBAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff D, South Bend, IN   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Here we go again with the crying.

sean   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

I've been wondering when she'd pull it out again. Ever since Super Tuesday, it's been well known that she'd have to play the "crying card" again at some point.

Sigh.

Roger   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

No racist Obama!

Hillary or McCain!

len   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Wow. She's human.

Of course, Obama prides himself on his Vulcan heritage. He has his people for human things like emotions.

IceMountain, michigan   May 14th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Seriously, WHY is she still doing this:(

geriatric   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

All the signs of deep depression and a nervous breakdown... Weeps easily, delusional, irrational. Please Clinton campaign,.. get Hillary some help.

Nic   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Again with the crying? Way to set women back thirty years, Ms. First Female President (not).

Pam   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Oh come on! Tears won't save you this time, Hillary.

Fla Sam   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

What a shame, she has pulled so many different personalities out of her hat that it is hard to believe she is being for real. I wish she would do the right thing for her party and Country and get behind BaracK Obama!

David   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Aw geez...Boo hoo hoo! It worked the first time, I guess. (rolled eyes here).

I'm proud of my children too, but I don't cry when I mention it. Maybe that's because I mention it even when it is NOT to my political advantage to do so. But, then, being a father, I so rarely have to come off looking like a concerned, traditional mother. (more rolled eyes here).

Woz - Los Gatos, CA   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

I wonder how she would feel about me as a son-in-law.

George   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

They say that Obama is attracting younger voters. By the way his supporters have been blogging, rude, disrespectful and so on. You must be young voters acting childish. This is the reason why we don't need a child in the White House. Keep it up. We'll have the last laugh.

Enlightened Voter   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Trust me, it was fake. She'd probably sell her own daughter if she thought it would get her the White house.

Linda, Kentucky   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

It is very nice to be proud of your daughter. I can understand her emotions. But I wish she hadn't lost so much credibility.

Anonymous   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

This is all well and good, but from an entire interview, this is what we get as a sampler? I know they want us to tune in, but when he interviewed Obama we got some real substance as a teaser. Here, we get more attempts at sympathy.

2 College Superdelegates Endorse Obama   May 14th, 2008 3:29 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 Hillary choking up?

George   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

yes we know it is very hard when a long held ambition beocmes almost impossible. how painful it is . we all know it. anyway, work hard and try to be a respected leader of democratic party.

Alexandra, PA   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Every time I think about Hillary's never-ending campaign to ruin Obama, I get choked up, too.

vjh   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

As a Mom myself, I too get emotional when it comes to my Daughter. Give her a break

Justin   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Awww, isnt that convienent???We need a president that can handle things professionally not tearing up at every oppurtunity!

beachgirl   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Hillary is a real person. It's funny how we reacted to our real emotions. Have you ever seen Obama laugh or do anything that indicates he is real????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Great to hear Hillary is so proud of her daughter, every real person should be proud of their offsprings, specially Hillary

N Kannan   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

I am sure there are many more suckers left out there, especially hardworking americans!

Sandra Goodwin   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Great job in West Virginia, Senator Clinton. Keep going because some of us dumb old white women do recognize a true leader when we see one. Kudos to your daughter too.

Justin, TX   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Are you guys kidding me? What mom doesn't choke up when talking about how proud they are of their children!?

Do you really feel the need to bash Senator Clinton because she is proud of her daughter growing up to be smart, successful, and proud of her mother? I don't understand where some people come off degrading Senator Clinton for something like this.

Ross, NJ   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

If she wants to make opponents to a woman commander-in-chief to have something to salivate over, then she's doing a good job. The leader of our military must be emotionally strong and not let them get in the way of their decision making. We've seen enough rash decisions from the Bush administration to last a lifetime. If terrorists strike our country or our interests is she going to make a good decision or break down crying? A serious candidate shouldn't have that be asked about them. Obama has had plenty of more things to overcome and he's remained strong and shows why he is clearly the best primary candidate.

Barb Canada   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

The ugliness you exert will not help your candidate in November bloggers! A comment of hatred towards Hillary is a vote for McCain!

Michele C   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Not this Time is right. Enough is enough. Go home now.

Korey   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

It's not that I doubt her ability to be a mother, CNN, it's that I doubt her ability to be our country's president. But still, thank you for informing me about Hillary's emotional standpoint towards her daughter. You'll be the first to know if something like this affects my vote.

Independent   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

A duaghter always loves her mother. This does not change the fact that you have lost. show Chelsea how to end this with dignity and grace rather than kicking and screaming.

Roger   May 14th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

No Phony Obama!

Hillary or McCain!

Don from Canada   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Who are you kidding Hillary, the Clinton policies left over from Bill's reign in the Whitehouse have made it impossible for most American's children to spend time at home with them. You get to keep Chelsea with you because she doesn't have to work. Take your fake stories and lies and go home with your fake tears. Its all over for you only the lady in the pantsuits hasn't figured it out, it's just a free ride on the donations like the one you took from that 11 yr. old boy what a disgrace it is for you to take $400.00 from him when you have 100 million in the bank – SHAMEFUL !!

INDEPENDENT   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

OH GOODNESS, here we go again...it probably would have worked during the primary season. But since its over now. Cry your way out the door.

Tim   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Give her a break, it's her daughter, she can get emotional about her daughter. I'm an Obama supporter but she should be able to get emotional when speaking about her daughter, I'm sure it is a very moving subject for anyone.

From CA   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

We are proud of clintons.

GOOD PERFORMANCE INDEED.

IT IS OVER, THE CHARADE AND ALL.

p Coleman   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Hillary would be such a good president, she really seems sincere and I think she really cares about this country. The Democratic Party seems determine to have Obama as the nominee, and Hillary has been treated unfairly in the Media (granted it has been better lately) and the people supporting Obama are really nasty towards her.

I am glad she is staying in because we do not know Obama and anything can happen and I hope it is not to late if it does.

I am really tired of these supporters calling Hillary's supporters stupid, red-neck, poor, and other things, just because some people had more chances in life and make more money does not make them any better a person, just maybe richer.

I hope these people that are so taken with Obama do not make the same mistake that was with Bush.

Tell Jack that hope he has Obama over for dinner and they can really bond.

Joel   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Male or female, if we have a leader who cannot control their emotions (NH and now this), we are going to have a really hard time getting the leaders of domineeringly patriarchal countries to give the respect needed.

carl   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

So she's crying again!!! that is what she would no doubt be doing at 3:00 a.m. when the phone would ring!!!

Trisha, Grand Rapids, MI   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

As a mother I would be so proud too, for all of the support Chelsea had giving her during the campaign.

I'm glad that we get to see this side of Hillary, as a mom, and her great relationship with her daughter.

How can you criticized that. I'll be curios to read the other comments, specially from the Obama supporters. All the hatred from their side just makes me sad.
Hatred won't lead you anything good.

Ken, LA California   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Your family has had a chance to lead this country for 8 years, we want to try other people, its not only Clinton or Bushes who can give birth to presidents, its time to move on, get over it.

Roger   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Hillary or McCain!

H-ROD   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

She's working for the republicans Thats the only reason she is still in this thing she wants them to pay her debt !!! (YES OBAMA CAN) !!!!!!!

Huh?

LOL!!

Too much...

Baggage!!!

Who's Complaining   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

I'm not a big fan of Hillary but would vote for her over McCain. That said, I don't see why this is reported in the news. What's newsworthy about a parent getting choked up when they talk about how proud they are of their daughter. CNN – please report news and not this crap.

Walter   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Crocodile tears. I am surprised that this interview wasn't scheduled to air on Monday, the day after mother's day, seeing as mother's day evolved out of tradition in Grafton, WV.

Ms. GA   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Yeah it’s nice to be proud of your daughter but, the only time she cries is when she is behind.

Josh, WA   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

She should be brought to tears when she thinks of the amazing advocate her daughter has been for her. Chelsea is constantly on the road campaigning for her mom. Think of how emotional your own mom would get!

Of all the times to rip into Hillary for crying on cue, this one I think we can let slide.

Obama 08'!!!!!!

Chel   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

She is something else. How many times will she resort to tears when she wants to get her way. She can't get through one sentence about her beloved daughter without injecting a self endorsement.

obama all the way   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Just pathetic...It doesn't get any better....displaying emotion alone is not enough to get to the WH.

No Clinton on the Ticket

JIm Webb or Hagel, Sebelius, Napolitano, strickland, Rendell.

Gorbashov, Long Beach, Ca.   May 14th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Democrats unite against our REAL adversary!

No Bush third term!

Uncle Joe   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Chelsea deserves a lot of credit from you and your campaign. She did a superb job!

Tee   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Is she proud of the way you have conducted yourself. If so, neither one of you are good role models for my daughter.

watchdog   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

How nice.
Beware of Clinton choke-ups.
Gotta admit, it worked in New Hampshire.

I still think that one was a plant.

Brendose, Oceanside CA   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Here comes the PITY pitch!

If you can't get your way, just cry, cry, cry, and cry again until you get it?

Isn't that what little 8 year old girls do?????

We cannot have a President who is weak and will cry on cue!

This interview displays her weakness....is she going to CRY to IRAN? Is she going to CRY to Russia?

I can...   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

understand how she would get choked up talking about her daughter. They seem to have a very close relationship and like any parent, it's natural to get emotional when you look back at what they have accomplished in their life so far. I do have to hand it to the Clintons, Chelsea is very mature and wise for her age. Good for them!

Hillary Spin Master   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Boo hoo, boo hoo. Hilary is like a cameleon. She's got so many faces and uses them all depending on the situation to pander votes. How touching. There's no way this lady has a soft side.

Remi N.(Atlanta)   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

well, Our mothers are proud of us too. One thing you need to do, is to endorse Barack Obama by june 3 and let's go after John McCain.
For the Primaries, It's over . We all know that included Hillary herself.

needed tobesaid   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Beautiful! Hillary has so much warmth and generosity that this country needs. She has always been an excellent mother- from the very first in talking with Jackie O about how to keep her little daughter out of the press while growing up in the white house.

DS   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Funny how she cries publicly precisely when her political fortunes are down.

hillary is such a great role model for women. she is a mother first, and a politician second. hopefully the superdelegates will take off the obama blinders, and realize hillary is the only one who can win back the whitehouse for the democrats. it's pathetic that the presumptive front runner couldn't even carry ONE county in WV, this late in the primary season. hillary can beat mccain in November, obama can't!

mama4obama   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Its great that she is proud of her daughter. I know that feeling. I have it for both my son and my daughter and at times I can be overwhelmed with pride. Chelsea has been the only rock in that campaign thus far.

OBAMA 08

DC   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

It amazes me Clinton knows how to turn on the emotions/water works/tears whenever it works for her. I am having a hard time believing anything is real with her anymore. After listening to her campaign people switch the numbers, not answer questions straight, tap dance around Anderson's questions last night, basically say with a straight face forget everything we have said since the campaign began this is what really matters now (popular vote etc.) I for one can't wait unitl she sails off in the sunset. I listen to people always talking about the importance of truth, values etc. That our children must be brought up in a society where values are imnportant. Yet so many of these people sit around and let her people basically lie, fudge the truth, adjust the truth or whatever else works for them. Thank you Clinton's for forcing me to explain some harsh realities to my child earlier than expected.

PA_Hill-fan   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

That is so true about Chelsea and she does care about everybody. Hillary is leading in the popular vote and about a 30 delegate difference separates both candidates if Florida and Michigan are included. Obama can not get any pledged delegates since he broke the party rules by appearing and advertizing in Florida before the primary.

Obi   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

On camera she is emotional...
off camera she is cold calculating and ruthless...

sorry. such gimmicky moves and chameleon like switches make me believe even more firmly that she should NOT be president.

Clinton supporters have no clue what they are signing up for...and they claim they dont want GWBush tactics anymore...yet this lady has shown TIME AND TIME AGAIN that she will say and do ANYTHING to win. and like sheep to the slaughter they go...

Obama. nuff said.

jeff - Dallas   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I guess I must be getting cynical, but three times in the past six months, Hillary has turned on the tears when the going got tough, and she got a boost in her ratings. Could it be???? Nah, Hillary would never stoop so low. But let me ask, do we really want a Commander in Chief who can't control her emotions when having conversations with the public?

Jennifer   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I BET SHE"S PROBABLY GOING TO START CRYING NOW TO BOLSTER UP HER WOMEN SUPPORTERS.
I HATE THAT SHE TRIES TO PLAY THE I'M A FEMALE CARD WHENEVER SHE"S DOWN.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL HER "BUCK UP" AND THERE"S NO CRYING IN POLITICS,ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE CLAIMS HOW TOUGH SHE IS .
OH, DID ANYONE SEE THE MOVIE "DELIVERANCE?" IF YOU HAVE THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT"S THE EXPLANATION OF HER WEST VIRGINIA WIN. IF NOT THEN IT'S AN INTERESTING WATCH.

proud army and navy mom   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

she probably crying over that 20 million dollar debt. if i was Chelsea, i would be highly upset. that's her inheritance money getting wasted.

Seth   May 14th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Once again people (OBama supporters, of which I am one) stop the Clinton bashing. Without her supporters, McCain will be in the White House come November. We all know what that means.

LeftyLadig   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

I am extremely proud of my daughter too. She, and her four brothers, have voted in the primaries, and will vote in the general for Barack Obama.

Sue Ellen Stamp   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Awwww...com'on! Billary can choke up, shed tears, cackle, and smile at the drop of a hat! Who knows how many personlities that woman has, but the "Three Faces of Eve" has nothing on her!

Probably the real reason she was "choked up" was because after running from state to state like a chicken with it's head cut off, she just may have a bit of an idea that she's not going to win!

SES Canada

Enough Already   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Stop crying every time the end is near Hillary. Your charade is too transparent now. Get out of the race and support Obama. You are helping the Republicans win in November with every extra day you stay in the race. Come on!!!

johnd   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Hillary must have been particularly proud when Chelsea backed up her version of sniper fire in Bosnia. Just a chip off the block. Makes tears come to my eyes too.

Roger   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Just listen to the low-life Obama supporters bashing Hillary for being emotional over her daughter campaigning for her. Definately no Obama! Only Hillary or McCain!

ladymary   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

no TEARS????????????? Someone is slipping..there should have been tears, Kleenex and someone to put a loving arm around her shoulder (there was, but Bill got distracted). Give me a break Hillary. Don't come back to NY and think you'll get my vote for Senator or dog catcher. I know fake when I see it.

X in Ann Arbor   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

She probably *is* proud of her daughter and everything, but unfortunately she already played the crying card twice already.

jay   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Please! It's not going to work this time.

Jason in TX   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Yes, Chelsea worked SO HARD to have a six-figure salaried do-nothing job thrown at her right out of college. I bet that was just so tough. Just like it was so excrutiatingly difficult to be waited on hand and foot by the White House staff when she was growing up.

Im sorry, WHO is out of touch???

constance   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

It is nice to be proud of your daughter, but everytime she has gotten choked up, people have voted for her. Not this time Hil. On top of that stop whining about Michigan and FL. Obama followed the rules and didn't campeign here in FL so people thought their votes were not going to make a difference, and his name was not on the ballot in Michigan so how can you seat those deligates? I'm just saying.

Eric   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

SO presidential to cry. Not falling for it, you fake.

Mrs.Ricks   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Chelesa has become a beautiful young woman who believe in her Mother and rightly so, although I am totally for change and Obama I do respect she and Mrs. Clinton for trying very hard to win this race. Thank you

Hillary or McCain   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

She should be proud. Chelsea is a lovely young lady.

california voter   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Joyce, Yeswecan, you are pittful people. You are so much the reason so many people cannot stomach obama's campaign (or are you for mccain?).

Eric, California   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Clinton 08 ( or McCain!)

NOBAMA!

Laura   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Wow didn't she choke up and cry as well just befor New Hampshire?
I hope that we all unite ...it can't be said enough. Please folks as the saying goes "don't cut off your nose to spite your face" All those who want to pull the "I'll show you Obama" mantra, will find themselves wondering what they have done at the end of the day. If you want to pay higher prices fro gas as well as have the draft back...be my guest. Do not forget that it is not Obama stopping the MI and FL votes from being counted. It was the rule breaking itself. Remeber also that Bill Clinton during his term pardoned two of the weather undergorund activists while they where in jail. Whether you want Hillary or Obama...remember we need to stick together and not listen to rumor or inuendo. Always, always get thefacts first.

sozzi   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

jb   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

What a nasty bunch of people-Hillary has dedicated her entire adult life to public service and she has travelled all over the country for many many months now and is exhausted. I'm tired of hearing about Obama's "BRILLIANT" campaign. Hillary has stayed competitive with a lot less money and she's taken a beating in the press compared to Obama! Sounds like sour grapes to me!

USAF Sr. Airman   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Oh wow. She's playing the emotions card. Come on you robot, are you so desperate you are going to try that tactic again? Actually, I view this as weakness. We don't need our leader looking soft and weak.

CNN NEWS UPDATE:

Clinton chokes up when talking about daughter.

Obama gets some Super Delegates or something....

But Clinton shows emotion!

Josa in Iowa   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Blah, blah, blah Joyce and yes we can. Get a life. Your usurper has almost stolen what is rightfully Hillary's!

I "HOPE" NOBAMA knows what he's doing.....

Go HILLARY, GO!

Concerned Democrat   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Tears started to flow when things did not look good in New Hampshire and people rallied behind her (ie..felt sorry for her). Now, she's at it again because she's at the end. I had more respect and admiration for Hillary before New Hampshire and I can't support this feable form of politics.

Joan Ross   May 14th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

She is trying the tears again.....I know my President can not CRY.

Erik - Dallas, TX   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Yes, she maybe very proud of her daughter, but give us a break on the tears. How many times is she going to choke up to get votes? One minute she is STRONG, and a FIGHTER, and the next minute she is defenseless and crying.

WHAT WILL THIS WOMAN NOT DUE TO WIN??

She is currently pushing her elderly mother out on trail and now again pushing her own daughter to do the same. Man, this makes me question if Bill is campaigning on his own accord. Hhhhmmmm?

Loraine Pace DeBary Florida   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

I think Hillary is hurting the party more then helping it by staying in a race she cannot win. I think she believes her own voodoo math because she and her campaign people give different responses regarding the popular vote and delegate count and now she says the target number is 2209 where does she get this stuff anyway.

Hillary, you and Bill had your turn now it is time for someone else.

Phil Newton Murphy, Oregon   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Touching. But what's making me choke up is the damage that Hillary Clinton's divisive, race-based politics have done to the Democratic Party.

It is time to tone it down, suck it up and move on to the general election where, Lord willing, the Republicans will be defeated - by Barack Obama.

Marc PDX   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

By now we've seen everything Hillary has to throw into this campaign ("the kitchen sink") and now she's recycling what worked once before I guess. Kind of emotional for a president I'd think...

Natalie   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

I am proud of my children too! What in the heck does that have to do with getting out of the race. You lost- thanks for playing- good bye!

Mary   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Freddie, La   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

It's amazing to me how HRC can agree that her statement about whites and hard working americans was stupid and very little is said about it, and when it is talked about its sort of as a matter of fact. However the media made a 2 week story out of Obama's politically spun "bitter comment". I as a hard working 46 year old black man was offended by HRC's statement as if white blue collar workers are the only people that work hard. I see hard working blacks, whites, asians, mexicans, and many others work very hard every day.

Uneducated old white 4 Obama   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

I cry every time one dies from the war she sent them to. I cried when I lost my job she and Bill sent to China. She is -– lucky her daughter has a job with the hedge funds corporation that will allow somebody to take 2 years off and not get fired! Give me a break.

Sharon Minnesota   May 14th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

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.

Jen, Gainesville   May 14th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

She can say anything or do anything to win. I have no respect for her.

Florida Dem for OBAMA   May 14th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Ohhhhh NOOOOOO........NOT MORE TEARS!!!!!! Give me a break Hillary!! These emotional breakdowns are begining to make me sick to my stomach.....ugggh.

If Obama and Clinton were in reversed positions now......Obama would have been pushed off the bridge MONTHS AGO!!!! How many times do the Clintons and the media have to move the goal post?? This is getting a little too dramatic now.

Nice one! Hillary playing the fiddle, AGAIN! Even when the media has her back she still can't win. Sorry Hillary, its 2025 not 2209. BOOHOO!

Debbie   May 14th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

After the constant pummeling from the press and Obama supporters to pull out of this race, even though there are millions and millions of people who support her, she must be feeling an incredible emotional strain. Unfortunately, I know there will be hundreds of unkind and cynical comments posted here from people who don't believe that she is human. Doesn't Obama want you all to be better than that, just as you think he is? (And please note that if the Democratic primary was run the same as the general election where the winner of each state takes all that state's delegates, Clinton would have the delegate lead in this primary.)

She's cries yet again.

Chelesa is pretty amazing, but I'm sorry the tears are too much for me to take from this woman.

NZ, NJ   May 14th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Sen. Clinton,

Forget the fact that you are most qualified to lead this country or that you are the true agent of change, but I want you to know that YOU DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT and after what these so-called Democrats/party elders have done to you and how the Obama-fanatical media has disgustingly selected its inexperienced, media-made, arrogant, sickening golden boy, I no longer consider myself a Democrat and this party has just lost my vote.

Here We Go Again   May 14th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Tears, choking up ... next she'll burn her bra. She's supposed to be so tough, yet every time she's down and all but out – she gets misty eyed. Give her some Kleenex and send her to Chelsea.

Leah   May 14th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

I'm not a Hillary supporter, but I've noticed her daughter Chelsea campaigning with her and I must say I felt very moved seeing her along side her mother and was impressed by her.

Sam, Manchester, New Hampshire   May 14th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Here we go again. Choking up, getting emotional.
Hillary: "Oh please, no you don't have to vote for me. I'm just crying because life is so difficult. But no-go ahead-vote for Obama. I'll just go cry in the corner."
Oh come on...why is this a story?

GCG - Austin, TX   May 14th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

She's a proud mother, and has every right to be.

I think she and her daughter are both wrong and that Hillary would be a horrible president given how she has completely mismanaged her campaign and the constant elitist belief that she is somehow entitled to the nomination; but, if I had my son or daughter out there working really hard for something I believed in, then I'd probably choke up a bit when talking about how proud they made me to.

Keep it positive folks, this might just be true feelings coming out.

Crazy amount of respect for Hilary and Chelsea. They have experienced things that i will never understand.

Not crazy about the emotion though. Republicans can use that and say she is weak.

Oh my god! Are you serious!!! She is crying AGAIN!!!! I know her husband used that lame trick all the time. But she knows full well, after New Hampshire, that this will affect the vote. Cry so you feel sorry for her and vote for her. This is so petty.

Oh geez. Reminds me of the crying just before the New Hampshire primary. Come on.

IF, Lisbon   May 14th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Is she going back to the tear business? I wish she'd make up her mind between "testiculare fortutude" and the whimpers. Chelsea was pulled into the campaign as soon as Hillary realized the Clinton name might not be enough to win her the nomination, she's campaigned for her mother for a few months. Does Hillary have to get teary in public? (particularly when there's a camera around)...

Oh no... There goes the tears! Hillary please stop!

It is time for you to exit the election in a smooth way.
You are not liked by a lot of people in this country. If this battle was between you and a more senior opponent you would be gone.

Men will not vote for you.
Republicans will not vote for you.
Many Obama supporters will not vote for you.

Teh difference between you and Barack is that he's new to the scene so his past got magnified for the primaries. If you win the nomination, you and Bill have a great deal of baggage the Republicans will bring to the surface.

You have a relationship with Rezko and Wright.
You have issues with your Pastor.
You have scandals with finances bot in your campaign, personal accounts and prior elections.
You have a suicide ( murder) issue tied to you.

Boo hoo hoo! She tried that one before.

Marilyn   May 14th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Why does she have to show her weakness? There is a time and place for all of this. The world sees her as a weak candidate because she cries to much. She is not strong to run this country. She need to stop doing this and it is not good for her. I am a Obama fan and he needs someone strong to stand beside him if he becomes President of the United States not someone who have to carry a box of tissue everywhere she goes.

Matt   May 14th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Chelsea is a phenominal speaker and is extremely knowledgeable about so many issues facing our nation. I have seen her speak three times and each time I was impressed with her depth of knowledge and beauty. I am sure Hillary is very proud of her daughter as so many other people in the country are. Go Hillary!

Chris In California   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

I just love her. She is REAL. We know what we are getting with Hillary Clinton as our next President. She has always done well by the people of this country and I know she will continue to do well by us in getting this country back on track from her first day in the Oval Office in January 2009.

proud army and navy mom   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

is she back to crying again? give me a break. this woman has no real emotion, if she did, she would have kicked bill to the curb years ago.

Old Women from Minnesota for Barack   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Here she goes again...Will she cry the terrorists to defeat when it comes to national security? What a disgrace to all women in the country.

Also, is this a set-up for Chelsea's run for president in 8 years?

CES   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Oh please Hillary – quit playing us like fools and ttake a ride into the sunset – did you do many shots in WVA to show the good folks there you're 'one of them'???

We don't need change – we MUST have change.

Brian   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Maybe if I turn on the waterworks again . . .

Marc in DeKalb, IL   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Sorry, Queenie, repeating your fake emotional outbursts like New Hampshire won't help you "find your voice" when you are behind in EVERY category possible.

Lucas, Nashville TN   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

She's officially losing, then. She only cries when she's losing.

Got news for you Hillary: People in Oregon and Montana are still too smart to fall for it. You're done. Dead horse.

Allen deLuca - Florida   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Sen Clinton and Chelsea, you are not the only ones who care about our country's future, so I invite you to vote for Sen McCain in Nov for the very best outcome of this election year.

Niky   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

I am sure Chelsea is good daughter (like any other daughter) and has taken only the best from her parents.

Ed, Santa Fe NM   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

oh BOO HOO..... gimme break with the tears.... god what a nauseatingly manipulative person....

Hey Hillary, what's the latest on your divorce from Bill if you don't get nominated?

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Why did I ever vote and stand by Bill and Hillary in the 90's! I mean I stood by Bill when the GOP wanted to hang him from highest tree in Washington.

May God help us all if they steal this election away from the 1st man of color this nation has ever put forward. Obama will inspire so many young black man to do great things instead of crime, drugs, un-protected sex, ect. I hope and pray the Clintons will see the greater good for our nation and help and support Obama. I do pray and want the best for our kids. They do not understand they could go down in history as the new leaders of civil rights and racial equality. They could be Obama's mentor's, instead of his haters. Go figure!

Mike   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

So proud that you wont let reporters ask her any questions.

tai   May 14th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

I can see the Obama supporters already, equating her crying as "pandering." How many parents wouldn't get emotional?

SAM2008   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

I love this family they are proud of this COUNTRY.

Nancy   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

It's lovely that the only thing you can call out from an entire interview is that this articulate, erudite woman choked up when talking about her daughter. Did the interview generate any actual news?

Republican for Obama   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

She should be proud of her daughter. Although I don't care for her Hillary's personality I care even less for McCain and I am glad Obama has pretty much won. Let's pull this thing together and change the course of our nation. I am so tired of the loss of hope I have felt. It's time to feel good about ourselves again and work toward a new future.

Jeff   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Congrats on last night Hillary.

Hillary – the most qualified presidential candidate to come along in a lifetime – and we all have the pleasure of seeing history being made.

Go Hillary.

Hillary '08.

Jaime   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Why would I want to keep the same two families in power for 20 years (Clintons/Bushes)?

Just say no to dictatorships...

POWER TO THE PEOPLE (SMART PEOPLE).

OBAMA '08

New York   May 14th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Hey, it worked in New Hampshire... MSNBC took some heat because one of the commentators said the Clintons were "pimping" Chelsea. That was a strong word, but the truth is with Hillary everything is in play when it comes to getting votes.

Martin in PA   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

If Obama teared up, it would be ridiculed as a sign of weakness. But Hillary can use this ploy whenever she wants to get the "sympathy vote." Ridiculous. Those are crocodile tears!!!!

V4OBAMA   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Well that was very touching. I support Obama, but it's nice to see some REAL emotions from Hillary. If your own children don't make you tear up when your proud of them, then you're just not human.

John Smith   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

What, a President chokes up? Unfortunately, Hillary did not have the judgement and experience needed to raise a "daughter." This is really selfish on Haillry's part- sacrifice even your own daughter!

BGIV in NC   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Again with the crocodile tears. Fool me once..............

from CT   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I think her daughter would make a good president one day. I hope Obama wins for the next 8 years, and then her daughter goes for it after.

Steve Mc   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Is this the story???????

Blitzer imploded in NH.....when is HE going to quit......Larry King can do the interviews to get factual info, and he is respectful of whoever he interviews!

ed   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

this woman has no shame...another tear jerker....she needs to move to hollywood...

Paul   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

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.

America cannot be entrusted to him as a guinea pig for an experiement in the lab.

Hillary 08 – Yes you will!!!
Puerto Rico, Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky for Clinton!!!

Team Obama   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I like Chelsea, but her Mother and Father will die before they give up. It is ruining us as Democrats.

Dale   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Will she "Choke up" when she decides to "obliterate Iran with nuclear weapons" as she said she would if they didn't back of Israel?

Of course, she won't, because it doesn't help her political career. That cold hearted witch.

Tjaye   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I'm not a supporter and I want to call it a show (which I believe it is), but she did a great job raising Chelsea. We didn't get stories of Chelsea sneaking into bars and drinking. She and Bill, BOTH SHOULD be proud of how well they did.

But....nevertheless...

Obama Oh-8!!

Kevin Leo (Jonesboro, GA)   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

OMG...here we go again...going for the sympathy vote, just like in New Hampshire!!!

Hey Wolf, why did you ask for our questions for Barack but you didn't do the same for Hillary?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

MAJITU   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Here we go again...crying to get votes. wow..how low can you go

s   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Trying to get votes again

Obama 08   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Sorry, I am very sorry, but this woman makes me sick. I am nauseated. She is a liar!!!

New Day   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I guess this is a news story somehow?

Zack in NoVA   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I'd like to believe the emotional response is legitimate, but I just can't tell anymore. There have been such radical transitions between the different sides of Hillary Clinton that it's become too difficult for me to know what's real about her anymore. It has nothing to do with her being a woman; it has EVERYTHING to do with her recent binge of opportunism.

I know several people who have said she's run a very 'Republican' campaign; while I'm not sure I believe that completely, the spin and opportunism evidenced on the campaign has left me wondering how she would handle the power of the Presidency. I'm simply not comfortable with that ambiguity.

Cthom   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I am so tired of Hillary defaulting to "female" in her efforts to sway this election. They underestimated the American public and banked on his race to take her to the top and she was wrong. True, many americans have closet racial issues, but they are still hopeful and that is what Obama is pushing....hope.

Robert in Toronto,ON   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I don't believe Hillary Clinton for ONE SECOND. She did the same thing in the Iowa primary, and now she's crying AGAIN to try and get more sympathetic mothers and/or women!

She's a panderer! And she's hoping you'll vote for her!!!

unfinished1   May 14th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

YAWN.... z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

Give me a break

Michael   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Oh no, not again.

DoneWithDems   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Dang.......think I'm getting a little misty.

McCain/08

Nando, Florida   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

TEARS OF A CLOWN!!!!!!!!!!

Abayomi   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Not Again.

Jeanne   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

You had to know the fake tears would show up again at some point. She can win legitimagely so she's got to throw in the waterworks & all those other machinations designed to win sympathy.

Susa   May 14th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

oh please... not another Hillary holding back tears moment....
Blitzer we know you love her, but honestly the rest of us are just so tired of her... can't wait until this is OVER!!!

hawk   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Oh Please, who cares about this lady anymore.

sandra from TN   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

i believe she is trying to get more votes ..... :( maybe then some one will vote for her... aww what a poor poor woman. "sob".

OBAMA 08
EX – HILLARY SUPPORTER. ^_^

TeraJ, MD   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

It's nice to be proud of your daughter!

Yeswecan   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

There she goes again with her drama. Somebody see a similarity with New Hampshire. Too late Hiliary. We do not buy your gimmicks anymore.

joyce   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

CRY BABY

out to get people to feel sorry again, cry and get what you want

NOT THIS TIME

NOT THIS TIME

Isaac   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

This is news?

son   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Tough LUCK! REPORT TODAY 2 OBAMA ENDORSEMENTS. CLINTONS are so DELUSIONAL

Berat (Pronounced buh-RAHT), Park Ridge, IL   May 14th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Oh man, she's crying again (According to the headline, not the story)! You know what that means: She's gonna win! 'Cause crying is what connects you with the electorate!

To all Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters: I'm fine with letting this race play out to the end, but you all have to admit that this drama with Senator Clinton has gotten played out a little too much. Hillary's crying a SECOND time on-camera. Do we REALLY think that this is going to play well against a guy who was tortured? You want Obama supporters to think of the general election. Guess what? We are. You should join us; we will welcome you with open arms (maybe an "I told you so" too, but let's be honest - you'd do the same for us. I mean, we're all siblings in this, and that's what siblings do, right?).

JOSH   May 14th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

go hillary

Dennis   May 14th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I'm not a supporter of Senator Clinton, but I have been impressed with her daughter's campaigning. My wife had a chance to see a campaign rally at which Chelsea spoke, and she came away favorably impressed.

Val   May 14th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I hope that Barack considers Christine Todd Whitman to be his running mate. This former NJ govenor has more qualifications than ALL the candidates and has a very good record on the environment.

B   May 14th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

The crying game won't work this time. It may win you a primary or two but not the nominee.

Mark   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

SHE's A FAKE!!!!!

Eliot from Chicago, Illinois   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

The crying game again.

New Hampshire bag of tricks.

Will she cry negotiating with the new Russian Premier?

Christopher W. Mannoia   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

It's and act! Remember some months ago when she started crying, and her ratings went up? Well, here we go again. Nothing has changed except Senator Obama has widened his superdelegate lead, and picked up some awesome support from past chairmen of the S.E.C.; it's time for Hillary to call it a day...

QU   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

And this is exactly what we need in the white house

/sarcasm

Ivar   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

cry baby 1 to cry baby 2

Beltway Insider   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

She doesn't even seem sincere when talking about her own daughter. I swear to god she must be a sociopath.

FreshAir   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

care to post the video?

CNN should start posting photograph descriptions instead of the photographs... "Candidate shakes hands with voters in AP photo". That would be consistent with how video is handled around here. Pretty ironic for a TV broadcaster.

brian   May 14th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

here come the tears . unite dems for obama 08,

Mike in California   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Please people...put your hatchets away...it's a mother talking who is incredibly proud of her daughter. Leave it at that.

This race is over   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

CNN, you need to seriously reconsider what you report as "news"...come on now...

Bridgette   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

I think it is understandable that she is proud of her daughter. And you can also see that they are close. Regardless of who you back and I am not a Clinton supporter but I can see the pride swell in her when she looks at her daughter. I do think she is doing this to prove something to herself and not so much because she cares for the American public but I do think that was a geniune moment. And hope people do not bash her for it.

Ralph clinton   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

another gimmick! please get over it already Hillary, it is over.

Franky   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

I told you I broke the "genetic code" code! LOL!!!!

Alright Wolf, you're close. I hope you finish it off, LOL!!!!! Na'h, nah'h I'm just playing...LOL!!!

Oh! The Irony   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Is she playing the crying game again? I thought she used this twice already?

"There's no crying in politics!"

dems unite   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

LOL

fred   May 14th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

You are the greatest Hillary!!

Don't give up...that it to the convention!! Obama hasn't got a prayer in November!!

If Obama is the nominee....WRITE IN HILLARY!!!

Stacy Clarks   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

okay, ENOUGH WITH THE CRYING!!!! DO NOT LET THE MILLIONS OF WOMEN WHO VOTED FOR YOU SEE YOU LIKE THIS!!

THEY VOTED FOR YOU BECAUSE THEY THINK YOU ARE TOUGH!!

no one has the right to tell HIll to drop out, but ITS TIME TO UNITE DEMOCRATS!!!

SAY NO TO MCCAIN!!!!

Ram   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Awwww!! So sweet!!

jeff from Geneva   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Ah you know Wolfie loved every moment of his one-on-one time with the HRC. He's her biggest fan...I'm sure he'll write her name on the ballot next November when Obama is the nominee.

Cammi317   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Awww.....darnit!!!!! Here we go again. Anyone remember that politically manuevered cry in between Iowa and New Hampshire????? Kentucky, she's pandering to you.....

Ted in CO   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Alligator tears for sure.
She's trying to pull a New Hampshire

An American   May 14th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Yawn, wake me up when the primary season is really over.

rumpusgoopus   May 14th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Oy vey.

Sean   May 14th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

And here come the tears again...

Jackie   May 14th, 2008 3:12 pm ET
