Clinton said Monday the Democratic race is not over.
Clinton said Monday the Democratic race is not over.

MAYSVILLE, Kentucky (CNN) — Hillary Clinton took a hard line on the state of the Democratic race Monday morning, telling supporters that it is "nowhere near over."

“I’m going to make [my case] until we have a nominee," she told a crowd at a high school gym, "but we’re not going to have one today and we’re not going to have one tomorrow and we’re not going to have one the next day.

“This is nowhere near over, none of us is going to have the number of delegates we’re going to need to get to the nomination,” she argued.

A campaign spokesman clarified, explaining that short of a deluge of superdelegates, Clinton believes neither candidate will have the necessary 2,210 delegates by the last primary on June 3, the number she says is needed because she argues Michigan's and Florida's delegates must be counted.

The Democratic National Committee has set the number of delegates needed at 2,026 after stripping those states of their delegates for moving up their primaries.

The Obama campaign has said that after Oregon and Kentucky’s primaries on Tuesday, they will have the majority of the pledged delegates.

But Clinton told supporters that she has the lead in the popular vote.

"Right now, more people have voted for me than have voted for my opponent," she said. "More people have voted for me than for anybody ever running for president before," she added, referring to previous Democratic primaries.

Clinton also made the same argument to the crowd on Monday that she has been making to superdelegates and to supporters for the past few weeks – it’s about the map.

“The states I’ve won total 300 electoral votes,” she said, explaining that 270 electoral votes are needed to win in November and that many of the states Obama has won will go for John McCain then .

“I still have a cushion if you look at all the states that I have won and take out those that may not be in our column come the fall. My opponent has 217 electoral votes from places like Alaska and Idaho and Utah and Kansas and Nebraska and many of his votes and his delegates come from caucus states, which have a relatively low turnout,” Clinton said.

Angling for a big win in Kentucky similar to West Virginia’s, Clinton tried out a line that she used there last week.

“You know, Kentucky has a history of picking presidents," she said. "People don’t get elected president without winning Kentucky.”

She has to make these outrageous and outlandish remarks to keep herself viable in prime-time. Lets face it, the media had practically given her for dead in last few days when she had toned downed her message.

Kent   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

A few years on..

Hillary – Bill, sweetie, do you remember when you were President of our land and and your great accomplishments?
Bill – Yes, my dear Hilary, I recall. But I also recall that I never did have…you know.
Hillary – You are so right sweetie. You never did.
Bill – Dear, do you remember 2008?
Hillary – I sure do. I remember how I won the most delegates (both super and pledged), the most states, and the popular vote, including the caucuses. Oh and who can forget that moment when we, I mean I, became the Democratic nominee and went on to lead our great country. Do you remember it as I do sweetie?
Bill – I sure do Hil, dear. Exactly as we said.
Bill and Hillary – Isn't is wonderful that we have each other to share our memories? It sure is sweetie/ dear.

A few years further on…..

Norma Zuckerman   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

No, the race is far from over. Women and Men from all over the country are supporting Senator Clinton and want her to continue. Florida and Michigan votes MUST be counted….that is the DEMOCRATIC way. I take a quote from the movie Network…" I am mad as hell and not going to take it anymore " ! Just change the "I to We"….and that describes how millions of Hillary supporters feel !

dz in Austin   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Women in every remaining state want to be able to tell their daughters and granddaughters that they voted for the 1st woman who should have been elected President. Thankfully I've already had my opportunity. I would have been upset beyond belief if she had listened to you guys and dropped out before then.

Let everyone vote, treat us with some respect and we just might hold our noses and vote for your guy in November.

kris   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Obama's 2008 campaign against John McCain will follow John Kerry's footsteps against Bush…close but no cigar!

JFK   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Daniel from Kansas, its not over. The party is not unified and many do not want Obama. I am college educated and do not believe Obama is the answer. I like him but he is not ready.

E. de Leon   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

Hubris for Obama, there is no Democratic nominee yet, political pundits in the media think they have the last words, not so in New Hampshire and lets include Florida. Go Hillary, you also have the Hispanic and Asian American votes.

Debbie,NJ   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

MJC have you checked the polls lately? I know how Hillary supporters like polls since the numbers don't agree with them. Obama holds a 16-point lead over Sen. Hillary Clinton in Gallup’s latest daily tracking poll released Monday. He has the support of 55 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters while Clinton’s support is at 39 percent.
Previously, Obama’s largest lead over Clinton was 11 percentage points, in daily tracking polls conducted in mid-May and mid-April, according to Gallup. Prior to John Edwards’s exit from the Democratic nomination race, Clinton held a 20-point lead over Obama in mid-January. Clinton 46% McCain 44%
Obama 47% McCain 43%

Jeff   May 19th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

I have a question to Obama nation, super deligates, and the demicratic party.
What happens if Hillary wins out
Wins Kentucky, big, squeeks out Oregon, and then wins PR, Montana, and South Dakota.
What does it say about Obama.
Does it say he is the best chance for the dems to win or does it point out his weekness amongst whites or does it point out an even more telling graphic. That since Michelles Obama 's comments, Mr Obama's bitter comments, his relationship with Wright.
His double talk on Nafta and Iraq he has steadly lost voters and major states that are must wins for the dems.
He still gets huge ralleys but he has lost consistantly over the last major contests.

If Hillary does win out there is still no way for her to catch him in the deligate math.

But this contest has been close and if she wins out and Michigan and Florida's votes are counted not the deligates she will be ahead in popular vote.

The supers are allowed to vote any way they want and there is no rule saying they must follow the will of the people.
If they feel he is limping to the finish line they can all change their minds.

I am sure the supers after doing their best to stop Hillary and endorse Obama would not want to go into november with a nominee that won NC then lost 6 in a row to finish the primary season in Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, PR, Montana, and South Dakota

I WISH THAT THE UNDECIDED SUPERDELEGATES WOULD COME FORWARD AND JUST STOP THIS, RIGHT NOW…YOU'RE TRYING AMERICANS PATIENCE, FOLKS ARE BECOMING LESS AND LESS INTERESTED ANS THIS THING DRAGS ON..

NOT TO MENTION THAT SO MANY WOMAN ARE BECOMING, BITTER, FOR THEY THOUGHT IT WAS TIME FOR A WOMAN TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT, AND SAY THAT THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA IF HE IS NOMINATED….

COUPLED WITH THAT AND THE OTHER RACIST MINORITY WHITE AMERICANS WHO WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN REGARDLESS, FOLKS ARE LOOSING INTEREST IN THE LONG DRAGGED OUT PROCESS…

South WEST America   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

There are groups of people in this country that never get polled. The DNC and Obama are going to be very surprise that thousand of Hillary supporters will not vote for Obama. It will jeopardize the general election. We respect Hillary, but if she loses nothing even Hillary can say will persuade us to vote for this man. The man who thinks he can be the President of the United States.
The democratic party lost out with choices made many time before. Resentment toward the news media and Obama growes daily.

JOHN EDWARDS WAITED LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE HE HAD A JOB AND A REGULAR PAYDAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. HIS WIFE DOES NOT SUPPORT HIS DECISION…

DNC and super delegates: Listen to the unheard…WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA.

James Nelson   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Unfortunately for her, most of the country, with the exception of Hillary and an ever shrinking pool of Clinton "dead enders", already has a nominee– Barack Obama.

Buh-bye, your Majesty.

Robert Nicholson   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Clinton will lose the nomination and run as an independent in November. Only then will she accomplish what she wants and that's John McCain in the whitehouse.

Chut Pata   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Hillary supporters should have seen the waves of the sea here in Oregon. No! I am talking about the wave of people pouring in to listen to Obama, forming a sea of human being. A biased estimate was that it was just about 75,000 people, though it was much more. They came by land and by sea in ships.

Can any rockstar gather these many people? They should have listened to the ominous thunder and roar of the crowd.

KVN   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Go Hillary ! Give them hell ! I would hate to see you settle for VP. Don't play second fidel to anybody………Geraldine is not the only one who may not vote for Obama. The democratic party will be punished for playing favorite at the very early stages of this race, as they did, with their ugly 'sexists' attitude. If McCain wins, it will be not your fault, but the DNC. People vote for a candidate and not for an ideology. They can blame themselves and their 'pet rock.'

Shirley, Silicon Valley, CA   May 19th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Hillary is DIVISIVE, DISHONEST, DECEITFUL AND DISGRACEFUL!

Just keep running to divid up the Dems and make your supporters even more hateful!

None! Clinton is slowly dying of self inflicted wounds. He campaign began on unsure footing with Mark Penn trying to run as the "Experience" candidate. Then she never planned for any contest after Super-Tuesday, She's been caught in lie after lie, she hasn't raised enough money to compete. She just didn't run a good campaign…

Maria   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Hillary Clinton for President! This campaign will not be over until after the convention. She deserves the nomination and has the popular vote. The BO camp will try to declare "victory," but they can't pull that one over on the American people. Victory to Hillary!

Julie   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

It's either Hillary or McCain. No Obama, he will start WWIII as is apparent in his comments about Bush. Actually made Bush look good. How is that possible? Obama does not know what he is talking about.

Hillary is right, the campaign is going on and I hope she is the nominee. There is no one qualified to be Pres.

If she doesn't win it, there will be no Universal Health Care because Obama does not know how to get it done.

I truly cannot comprehend why people are for this man. I'm going to vote republican and McCain is more to the middle than radical Obama.

Jim   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

JH   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Last time I checked my opportunity to choose a candidate doesn't happen until tomorrow so this election is definitely not over for ME as I haven't even had a chance to cast a vote yet.

Phong Nguyen   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Hello, DNC: Ignore the voters of Florida and Michigan and you will pay dearly in November! The DNC has a dilemma in their hand with two strongly supported candidates! The DNC played into the hand of the RNC when they stripped the states of Florida and Michigan of their delegates, a very dumb move!!! Then the Party becomes further divided with the endorsement of S. Obama by S. Ted Kennedy agaisnt S. Clinton! Welcome to the mess!!!

Charles in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Hillary the nomination "Kitchen" is closed and you've baked your last cookies. Time to focus on VP and helping to kick some McCain butt in November. OBAMA / CLINTON Unbeatable in 08″

JFK   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Kevin   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Cedar Rapids guy.   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

To Obama08

Obama and Sebilius?
You sure?
This is the woman that supposedly got one guy removed from his post and replaced him with a member of her husband's band. Replaced another with a friend with no experience in the position.
Got rid of a load from the KCC and blocked the hiring of one of those people into another government position despite the hirer stating they really wanted this person.
She is coming to the end of her term and is doing favours for friends and family and I wouldn't want someone who so easily removes people's income and livelyhoods for friends as VP.

Mike in IL   May 19th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Hillary you have my vote… Obama can not win the primary and he will not win in November…

He has peaked with his support and without the democratic base "women" he can not win in November… I do not believe the polls stating that 38% will not vote for Obama… if that number is close to 3% he will not win… that is right all it takes is 3% to not vote or vote for McCain to lose the election!!!

All of this talk about Clinton having an uphill battle… the media needs to start telling the truth about Obama's chances… If he is the nominee he has an "uphill battle" for the general!!!

Sick of McBush   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Would people stop the hate? Insulting Clinton only alienates her supporters, which harms Obama's chances of winning. I hold the view that Obama has in some ways been more thoroughly scrutinized and Clinton in other ways. Fact is, Obama is not "new politics," he's' just politics like everyone else. It's not that hard to see. As for the Paul V Clinton, that is a frivolous lawsuit.

Eli   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Kevin   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

If the DNC chose its nominee by popular vote, the Obama campaign would have run its organization differently, and he STILL would win. Hillary is too disorganized to win anything.

Carolina Girl   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Absolutely, Michigan and Florida delegates MUST be counted.
Aren't they a part of the United States!" Part of the 50 UNITED states.

Definition of "united" states…. That means ALL 50 states!
ALL 50 STATES NEED TO BE COUNTED, each vote going to the
candidate it was specifically cast for. Not 48 states. Not splitting in random fractions going to each candidate. They weren't voted that way so they shouldn't be counted that way.

Rules were broken MAKING that new rule that Michigan and Florida
needed to be punished! Where in the constitution does it say that "bad states" who don't follow the new made-up rules, must be "punished" like bad school children. The RULE is wrong.

Olivia   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

If i lived in KY or OR or PR or Montana I would most definately want my vote counted. If Hillary is so irrelevant, why are the Obama people and the rest of the superdelegates so afraid of her.

That is because she is well loved and regarded…she is very much a viable candidate….and her popular vote is right up there.
And…if this country is ready for a black man as president then it should be ready for a woman as president, especially since this woman candidate is highly qualified to do the job.
Superdelegates are trying to push Obama to the finish line and stop this historic race from its natural conclusion.
All of us Hillary supporters are paying attention to who is dissing her constantly, among other things. we will vote accordingly in Nov.

Ryan in FL   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

You know what gets me is that HRC keeps saying that she is ahead in the popular vote. She has been fighting to count FL and MI for a long time which in my opinion is an honorable fight given her reasoning, not that I agree (I think the punishment should stand, no dels seated this time around) but for her to NOT to count votes (the cacus) in an argurment that she has the popular vote is just totally CRAZY. I mean lets only count the votes in the only 1 senerio out of 5 to get a leader in the popular vote. I don't get it, does she really think that we are that stupid not to see it. It just bugs the crap out of me that she is so hypocritical.

AMERICA SAVE THIS NATION – VOTE OBAMA

Harrison   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

I have no problem with her campaigning. It is her right to do so.

BUT – this Jeckyll and Hyde act is getting old. She is a solid democrat one day and a venomous demon the next. Someone needs to check her meds. She defends Obama a few days ago and now he isn't fit to be the best candidate.

She is a little strange.

Steve   May 19th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Obama will eventually be the Nominee but Clinton has a very good point about the Electoral College. The last two elections were decided by one state It could happen again.

YEAH ! KEEP GOING HILLARY! It is just 2 weeks away from all of the states completeing their primaries. It would be Foolish to stop now. Some people want ot Ordain Obama the winner even though he has not won it yet. This has become a Brokered Primary instead of a popular election. It is the superdelegates who are controling the outcome; this is not the way it should be. The Voters should control the outcome.
Obama is so Arrogant! He has been implying that he has been a Senator for two years, OK – now he is ready to run the country.

"The states I’ve won total 300 electoral votes"\

Who the hell cares. this isnt the general election. Just because one democrat beats another democrat there doesn't mean thats the only democrat that can be a republican. Cali and New York, which alone is nearly 1/3rd of those 300 electoral votes would go democrat if Big Bird was running againts McCain.

nate   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Reality has not set in with the Obama campaign that the vast majority of Clinton Supporters, the Reagan Democrats, will not support him in November. He is too far to the left for these conservative Democrats to accept. Obama has proposed to save Social Security by increasing taxes on wage earners, penalties to business who chose to seek labor abroad in an effort to remain competitive globally and remain efficient, keeping in place the marriage tax penalty which directly hurts married couples trying to build families, promoting a constitutional amendment to support gay marriages and his position to promote more restrictive gun control. In short, the Reagan Democrats will be paying the price for Obama's Presidency…We will vote for McCain in November.

Jaybrown   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

I really don't know why she continues to raise the number of delegates for nomination knowing that it's not what the DNC set. She's going against the DNC much like the local leadership did in both those states. If she was comfortably ahead, and those states favored Obama, TRUST ME, She would be making the case that they did not obey the party rules. I think it's ok that she remains in this race. I think it's ok that she request for them to do something about Florida and Michigan, but she is insisting that ALL votes count and ALL Delegates seated, when they broke the rules. And she's only saying this because it's in her best interest. And the fact that Obama wasn't even on the ballot and didn't get any votes in Michigan, she doesn't care. It just seems desperate and annoying.

Jeanne   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

For anyone that can count, it's over. I had hoped she was finished with this type of campaigning and just waiting out the final primaries before conceding but it looks like my earlier opinion, that she would fight all the way to the convention, may hold out to be true. I guess she doesn't care about whether the Democrats win in November or whether this nation gets past it's current crisis in leadership. Her current actions may determine her future success. She might not be able to get any type of leadership position, ever, if she keeps going the way she's going.

Jim Garza   May 19th, 2008 3:54 pm ET

Berat, Park Ridge, IL:

Are you 18? Or just stupid? NC and Kansas will vote RED in the General; Oregon will go Blue no matter who the nominee is.

Hillary supporters have to save this election and we know that Obama is far to extreme (left) and green to lead this country.

Maybe you want to have a Govt that will cater to their enimies and sit at the table with them and make small talk.

Bridgette-PA   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Thomas, please stop hatin'. The nominee as you and Hillary both know will be Barack. I can't stand sore losers. What's the problem? Barack won fair and square. If Hillary wouldn't have went into this thing thinking that her last name was going to win this for her, well, you know the rest. All she wants now is for her supporters to get her money back that she "loaned to herself 3X's!). Grow up. We all know that Michigan and Floriday will be seated, just not the way Hillary wants. Let it go and unite. If you are a "true" Democrat, this will be no problem. If you vote for McCain or write Hillary's name in, your a REPUBLICAN to us anyways, and we don't want or need you!

OBAMA-08!

WIll   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Hillary,
Many of the states that you won are Democratic strongholds that would not vote Republican at this time, or in the foreseeable future. It's hard to believe that California or New York would go Red. Obama will probably win these states.

There's another reason while Hillary's campaign is futile. If this whole primary season gets turned around right now, and somehow some way Clinton is able to secure the nomination, the Democratic party will be thrown into chaos. If you think it's bad now, imagine what will happen if The Party gives the nomination to Hillary, citing… whatever… McCain may as well schedule his ticker-tape parade now.

M Philllips   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Hillary, it is time for a reality check. Obama is ahead with pledged and super delegates,popular vote and number of states won. He is also not $20,000,000.00 in debt. He has the same team he started with .Not counting the caucases( which you would be doing if you had performed strongly there) and asking that Florida and Michigan voters be seated as is does two things to the democrats in those states.It disenfranchises those who obeyed the rules and gives the vote( and power) to people who broke the rules. Mrs Clinton, you are a Presidential candidate who needs all sorts of rules broken to succeed yourself.

Scott   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

OMG… blah blah.. I really hate the bickering between the voters personaly, it's like the Yankees against the Sox. Common, when it comes to the ACTUAL issues at hand, theyt are BOTH THE SAME. Why do you think they had such trouble debating? They had to bring silly issues like the Flag pin and Rev Wright… and all the crap that follows Hillary around. I just really want a president that can count!

Stained Blue Dress   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

How many more delegates does Obama need? Even some of the Hillary supporters have admitted this is over, why doesn't she?

Hillary Clinton is the most superior candidate period ! Since experience is not being considered for the Dem. nominee I want to cast my vote for Curtis Granderson (Detroit Tiger) and Jacoby Ellersby
(Boston Red Sox). These guys are well spoken and have alot of charisma. Geraldine Ferrara is accurate in her evaluation of Obama. In fact, millons will probably follow her lead in not supporting Obama
in the general election, I know I will !

I'm for Obama but don't agree with his strategy not campaigning in Kentucky. Even he won't win there but an effort should have been made to keep it close!
And Hillary is yapping about things which are not true. She should count the stars and add them to her polular count!

Nauseous   May 19th, 2008 3:53 pm ET

Three questions for Mrs. Clinton:

1)What are you saying to Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Kansas and Nebraska?

2)Who taught you that saying whatever the poll of the days favors equates to leadership?

3)Why is it that you're interested in "counting every vote" when it suits you in Michigan and Florida, but letting the superdelegates supercede the voters when counting doesn't suit you?

Nevermind, we know the answers.

Carrie   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Enough is enough!! Yes Hillary you can finish the campaign trail…you need to to transfer your debt. The rule is the delegates…not the popular vote.

I will be glad when the last primary is over….then we can truly get to running for the presidency.

Sandra   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Is Kentucky one of the big states now? I thought it is whoever wins the big states wins; why bother, Hillary, with small states like Kentucky?

Oh! Ok changing fortunes, changing tone.

By next week: As Puerto Rico goes, so goes the Nation.
Really Hillarious!

Elisabeth   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

Good Hillary, you are are winner!

Christoffel van Vuuren   May 19th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

I am no Hillary fan, even less of an Obama fan, but it is not over until the fat lady sings, and she will only sing at the Democrat Convention. HRC has all the right in the world to fight till the convention is over. Go girl, Go! It is your democratic right to do so.

Mcain is the only one who can keep Americans safe.

Patrick   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Whats really funny is her last line. Because NO ONE in the last hundred years has been elected president without winning Missouri……. which Hillary lost, and Barack won.

IF, Lisbon   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

I think we could all agree the lady has a lot of imagination. Sniper fire, ahead in delegates, etc. I suggest a crasg course in maths. Or better still, a crash course on reality. A new Gallup poll says Obama is gaining on her, nationally. Bow out, lady, while you can still do it in a slightly graceful way.

Nick in Las Vegas   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

I'm proud to support Hillary Clinton for President. Obama has not won my support and should not expect it come Novemember if he is the nominee. Pundits have been telling Hillary to drop out since before she won Ohio, Penn, W. Virginia… Now she is expected to win Kentucy by a HUGE margin and people are saying "this is over"…. I DON'T THINK SO!

Jessica in IL   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

But it IS over, duh…

Pam   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

It's not 2210 delegates that are needed to clinch the nomination, it's 2025. It must be interesting living in Hillary-land.

Showme   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

While no Democrat may have recently won the presidency in the past without carrying West Virginia and Kentucky (in the general election!?!), NEITHER party has won the presidency without carrying Missouri. Obama had the most votes of any candidate in the Missouri primary and the Republicans still had a contest then.

Eric   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Hillary needs to come to reality. I respect her tenacity, but it is, what it is. Obama is going to win the nomination, as well as the general election.

I hope Hillary come to grips with this soon. Obama is showing her respect, but now, she just can’t let go.

Pray for her…

It's Over   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

Be a responsible Mother Hillary and quit spending your daughters inheritance! It's Over!

jonnie   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

She's not called sweetie! I, like a number of dems will not vote for someone who has no experience, lies, never knows exactly what he said, as he always tells us he did not mean to say that, thinks there are 60 states in American and that he has visited 57 of them, do I go on? Barack will not be the next president nor will he have the respect of many democrates. Maybe in about 8 years he would be a good president but not now. It will be McCain in 08, sadly. But then, at least he has experience. We are not bitter nor do we chose to blindly vote for any dem. For the first time in a long time, we are not going to have much of a choice. And Wise White Guy, I wish you lived up to your name.

AM   May 19th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

What ever happened to the issues? Must not be all that important in this on going scuffle.

*munches on popcorn*

I love it when Dems fight among themselves. Great entertainment. I don't even need to say anything really to stir it up any either. It gets even better when one side plays the racism or sexism card on the other.

Go Hillary! Keep on fighting.

lezah2   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Go Hillary. I won't vote for Obama even if Hillary is the VP. He will never get my vote.

Denise   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Thomas: The PRIMARIES are about delegates — not electoral votes. Her argument is bogus and her handlers are making her look ridiculous at this point.

Mark   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Well Hillary has all her supporters hanging on to a dream that has slipped away. Its really boring to watch her talk about staying in the race when its impossible to win so by her staying in she is just trying to draw more attention to herself so that she can try to get a landslide decission about Fla and Mi. All I can say is look past the smoke and mirriors and you will see what she is trying to do (BEND THE RULES TO HER FAVOR) by staying in Hillary get out before you sink the DEM party and the US

Marilyn   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

The media has determined that Barack will be the nominee, no matter what happens in the final primaries. However, there is no way he can win in November! I am a lifelong Democrat and I will NOT vote for him, nor will anyone I know.

The Lone Ranger   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

HILLARY, THE STAGE LEAVES DODGE AT NOON ,.. BE ON IT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE WOKEN UP TO THE LYING, CONNIVING, DISHONEST, WAFFLING, SPINNING-TWIRLING, CHEATING, PANDERING, MANIPULATING, AND ALL THE OTHER DIRTY POLITICAL TRICKS. PLEAD YOUR PHONY CASE ALL YOU WANT, NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU. GET LOST.

HI HO BIG BROWN OBAMA 08

Sweetie   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

I'm praying for you and our party!

Obama is not a viable candidate and what he and his wife and supporters have done to the Party I have worked for and loved my entire adult life is HORRIBLE!

I have never seen so much HATE and division-the reason I won't be voting for him in Nov. I fear what the Obama's will do to our country; based on what they have done so far to our Party we are in BIG trouble.

I hope I get to vote for you!

Hillary 08/McCain 08

Marmom   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

This better not be another election that is "stolen" – no one will stand for it. By tomorrow – Obama will have the majority of pledged delegates according to the rules that both sides agreed and signed their names to. Changing the rules at this point is what sore losers do (regardless of the fairness of the rules) . Time to be a leader and accept the decision of the majority.

Rod   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

2,226 delegates are needed to win the nomination. Without MI and FL. the nominee will have no credibility.

Letha   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Stupid, stupid Obamanation groupies! My state is one of the last to vote and you say my vote wont count which does not give you the right to say she should leave. YOU are what will split the nation come November when you have taken my right to case a vote. I'm independent but will support McCain just because of these kinds of comment which clearly tell me YOU have no clue and your candidate has no experience.

prairieguy   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Don't you just love her new math….no wonder she flunked her 1st bar exam!!!!!

The race was over months ago…she just fails to accept reality.

If Barack loses in Nov she will be the one to blame for all her divisiveness, race and gender card playing, her Rowe playbook playing.

As far as I am concerned she can join the Republican Party since she has camapigned as such.

You lost…get over it and either help untie the party or leave it!!!

Ron   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

How can this be over without Florida and Michigan? Enough of Sen Obama insecure dirty politics. Floridians for Sen Clinton.

D in New Mexico   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Bah. This long-time, dependable-voting Democrat is switching Independent, and voting McCain. The DNC is being ridiculous, and all the 'old-school' politicians are endorsing obama – for change? I think not. Wake up, people, geez. I'd love to see a little light come on in those dark heads of yours, obamabots.

Jay   May 19th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

talk about a sore loser. shes too caught up with the idea of being the first female president that she just doesnt realize that shes already lost. All she has accomplished is in creating a rift in the democratic party. And lets face it the vast majority of her followers are simply voting for her because shes a female and they want a female president because they feel that its "their" time.

The Anti-Hillary   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Oh yes, dear, it's over. There ain't a river of tears you can cry to get that nomination now. Do your legacy and the party a favor: go campaign for Obama while you still have a legacy left to salvage.

If you don't want to do that, then just go away. Your time is up; and all you Clintonistas who are drinking the cool aid, who say you'll vote for McCain or stay home instead of supporting Sen. Obama, you're not true Democrats and probably weren't gonna vote for him anyway, so take your marbles and follow Hillary out the door. And take that Hal Holbrook-looking, shriveled up, wrinkled hosebag bigot Geraldine Ferraro with you.

GO OBAMA '08!!

Patrick   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

No where near over? really Hillary? I think we both know thats not true, but I guess telling lies is a clinton family thing

lol   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

you hang in there hillary, it's not the math, its the map. the electoral map and popular vote are in your favor. you are the more electable candidate! you are going to win KY big, and your closing the gap in OR. keep going madame president, your loyalist are with you every step of the way!

AJ, IL   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Don't fool yoursellves! It is over! Hillary is just in "public" denial mode to angler for something on June 1st. What Hillary wants is still unclear? Does she want to be Obama's VP? Does she want Obama to adopt her mandated Universal Healthcare? Does she want Obama to pay off her campaign debt?

Inquiring minds for Obama want to know! The way the next two primaries are expected to go (Kentucky to Hillary and Oregon to Obama) and the superdelegate tally that Obama is now enjoying (25 to 35 superdelegates per week) Obama will reach 2026 by May 30th!

vdemocrat   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

Hillary is the truth can't you see obama has a bad speech writer? He steals his Ideas from hillary. MCain is laughing at the democratic party all the way. Its true Hillary is the only one who can beat Mcain because she is not a false person

Huntsville, AL Supports Obama!   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

She reminds me of the guy from "The Office" – she has been fired and continues to come to work because of a glitch in the system and a few people keep voting for her…

I honestly forgot about her…

Obama/Richardson '08

Sam Kansas City   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

you go, hillary.

keep going to the convention

Jason   May 19th, 2008 3:49 pm ET

There's nothing wrong with her staying in the race. As long as she keeps the negative campaigning down. I respect Senator Clinton and would have been happy for either of them. In fact, I started out a Hillary supporter but after I looked over their stance on policies like healthcare, I went to Obama! I will be sad if the Hillary supporters don't help Obama in November. I think once Hillary is officially out and supports Obama, many will come around.
I also don't think Hillary should be VP. She would be a much better and stronger senator to help getting change done in this country.

Christoffel van Vuuren   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

I am no Hillary fan, even less of an Obama fan, but it is not over until the fat lady sings, and she will only sing at the Demcrat Convention. HRC has all the right in the world yo fight till the convention is over. Go girl, Go! It is your democratic right to do so.

Mcain is the only one who can keep Americs safe.

Ricky Galileo   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

Say what??

Not over???

Count the posts to this story.

Last month her comments generated hundreds of posts…

No more…it's over.

Choose hope and dreams. Live Free!

Michael, Oregon   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

Didn't Hillary say in the pennsylvania debate that Obama could beat McCain? I am sick of people letting Hillary get away with all these BS statements. 'Obama cant win', 'I have the popular vote', 'You need 2210 delegates'. I think Hillary has an advantage being a woman. If a man were to say these things he would be laughed of the stage.

David K   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

You young folks (under age 60) do not know what can happen at a true NOMINATING CONVENTION when no candidate has the delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot. All bets are off! We could end up with a nominee who was not even campaigning!

Charlotte   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

If the superdelegates give this to Obama as expected, we will lose in November. If a far left liberal such as Obama is the nominee, and add the race card if you will, how can he win in November? Dukakis and Kerry were not black and they lost, what makes you think Obama can win? We will have 4 more yeas of republican rule, maybe the congress will be in more of a majority for democrats and that might curb any threat for confirming far right judges to the bench. I will write in Hillary Clinton and I hope everyone of her supporters will also.

Independent in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

One of the CNN political analyst (supporting Clinton) said bluntly:

"Eggheads and blacks cannot win the Dem vote'!

I usually do not get upset but saying that we have to promote ‘stupidity’ for our political gains or as our hope for future were a little too much for me to handle.

ANNIA   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

I will write in your name on the ballot comes November, Hillary. Be strong.

Joan Ross   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

This is extremly sad. I feel very sorry for Mrs. Clinton.

Denise   May 19th, 2008 3:48 pm ET

This woman's quest for power is downright scary. The party is sending her a clear message. She wanted to continue this thing with the hopes of winning by super delegates. The only problem is…. the super delegates are clearly going with Obama. She's only picked up a couple since PA. Today the senator from W VA went against the majority of his state and endorsed Obama. The only way she wins is through some diabolical plot via Puerto Rico and fuzzy math. She has shown herself to be a vindictive sore loser and I've had just about enough of her. She really does think she's entitled.

Mr. Wow   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

This is starting to get really bizarre. Not only is Hillary trailing in super delegate and delegate support, but also the popular vote. How she continues to possess any clout is beyond my level of comprehension. Initially, I had respect for her, but now she's become highly obnoxious and seemingly concerned with her own self image.

Justin   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

It's over, toots.

Mississippi   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Some one should tell the Clinton's tha t this is over. She will not be the vice pres or the head of the sen. She doug her own grave, when she voted for the war and would not accept the fact that she cast the wrong vote. If she had of done that she would of been the 1st female pres. She shoud take her husban d advice stop digging the hole. Mcbush will do far worse than HRC. He cant even raise money. The only thing Obama has to do is show pic's of mcbush with bush. That's what they did here in mississippii and took that seat from them. Not even FOX will be able to help mcbush. Mississippi is Obama country !!!

tony, Mount Vernon, NY   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

If it's over why are huge numbers of people still turning out for Hillary? If Obama IS the nominee shouldn't all the Hillary supporters just stay jome? Just because Obama, his supporters and the media say it's over doesn't mean it's over. I think super delegates should pay attention to these final primaries and think to themselves if Obama can't close the deal with all the fanfare behind him now among fellow Democrats what will happen after the Republicans start to tear into him.

jack   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

You go girl!

It's not over until Hillary is the President..that's it and thats all!

Jer-bob   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

PLEASE, please, please go away! I know the idea of NOT being the center of attention is worse than withdrawing from Ambien and I know in your world this can't possibly continue without you but you are on a burning ship with a beach pail full of water. Get off now!

DPZ   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Hillary is depending on the DNC to hand her the nomination. It is not
going to happen it is over and the only reason Jonh Mccain is still a
undamaged candidate is because she is still hanging around and
even she knows it is over.I dont understand why she is holding back
the democratic party oh…I forgot she think the is all about her and voters well Republican voterws keep her delusional just watch when June 15th pops up she is going have to drop out. This is absurd she
shouldn't even still be in the race she is old news already defeated
by the Obama train……

Bayou Joe   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

The Crowds in Oregan came to see Obama not to vote for him. We want to know if he is the ONE. 666 or Not.

New Orleans for Obama   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Why is it that Hillary does not want to abide by the rules that SHE AGREED TO???? The networks should flash the scanned copy of the agreement with her signature on it.

The delagates will be seated…but

IT IS OVER.

Obama '08

Rod   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Keep Fighting! The pundits do not decide the presidency, the people do! Fl. and Michigan must be counted! If they are not counted, whoever is the nominee will be a flawed candidate. The Democratic nominee must be chosen by all 50 states, NOT 48. The race is a dead heat. It is not over. Keep fighting! WE WANT YOU TO Fight ON!!! The process was designed so thst we not only get a nominee who will make a great president, but one who will win in November! Hillary has the swing states! She has the women vote nationally by a large margin! Let's win in NOVEMBER!!!! Hillary id the ONE!!!!!

Mary   May 19th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

Senator Clinton,

PLEASE continue to run…right up to and including the Democratic Convention!
Forget the pundits and the media blitzes telling of your demise….YOU are STILL winning state primaries……and the VOTER'S Votes are still
asking that you continue!

NO matter who is ultimately the Democratic Presidential candidate.?..all votes must and should be counted!..this is the founding
meaning of DEMOCRACY!

The math…regarding delegates and superdelegates will all be counted in due process(…and the wisdom of the Democratic Elections Committee..will ultimately include Michigan and Florida..by consensus)
Soooo……the race is NOT over until the last VOTE is Counted!

Best of luck to both of You…Senator Clinton and Senator Obama!

Congratulations to You Both For a Invigorating, stimulating and hard fought political race!!

God Bless America!…and God Bless Democracy!!!

Maggie VT   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

She should not keep saying the caucus states do not count and they are small. If she becomes the nominee, she may not get those states. She keeps repeating they don't count. I thought everyone was saying she was not going to be nasty anymore. Guess someone was wrong!!!!

Are you serious?   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Why does she keep making up her own numbers, math and rules?

Eric   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Give it up, Hillary. You don't have the votes. You won't have the votes. You're not going to be VEEP because Obama would need a food taster … though you'd be incredibly valuable to him in other ways. So just accept the fact that America doesn't want you to be President, and get on with life.

Dino IL   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

I'm guessing that HRC will still be saying, "it ain't over…" at Obama's inauguration in '09. Wish her the best of luck in 2016…

Go Hillary   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

I agree with WIlly

oh and ………………..

it's not over

it's not over ……………………

Steve Gilbert   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Actually, it is close to over. It's May 19 already. It's closer to being over that it was one week ago.

Time doesn't stop!

Oh, and why do all the Clinton stories have the top of the page?

Don't really care… I'm voting for McCain anyway.

old whitey 4 Barack   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Where in the hell does she get 2206? I have dimentia, and I know it is 2026, She is embarrasing, for females. Just like Michelle Obama said ,she is changing the goal posts, again. Please Hillary, go back to the Senate and make Bush bring my boys and girls home.

vdemocrat   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Hillary 08 the preacher thing is blowing up in his face! along with his family problems. The older the wiser! You can catch up!!

Jamaal Kansas   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Hillary this is your conscience callting "It over". Man she really is in denial. Cnn why is she still in the news she lost months ago she is only that thinks its not over

Patricia   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Dear Hillary…. you have only yourself to blame for all the animosity we feel for you… You try to change the rules… 'after' saying those votes shouldn't count…. now that your crying for 'all' votes to count… what about the ones that didn't vote for anyone in those States… thinking it was pointless, your not concerned about them, your only concerned for the ones that voted for 'you'… and if that doesn't smarten your fans up, 'you' put your own daughter in a position to have to cover for you about the Bosnia lie. ..I think that is despicable to do that to your own child! Your have no values, integrity, or real heart for people.. you are self-serving, at all costs. As a woman your age, I am appalled at my own gender for supporting you to be President . Someday, I want a female President too, 'but', it needs to be the right one. That is not you.

Rudy NYC   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

Democracy means majority rule, not most boisterous rule. Obama has the numbers in every category, super delegates aside.

FACT: DNC rules required that all candidates remove their names from the ballots in Fl and MI, and not campaign there.

Besides, the Michigan situation was created in large part by Clinton supporter Michigan Sen. Carl Levin, in what has been argued as veiled attempt to restrict the number of names on the ballot in Michigan. The MI change included a provision that write-in candidates could not keep their delegates, and would surrender them to the lead vote getter. Clinton? So it appeared when it happened.

ObamaMama   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

DEMOCRATS, PLEASE! I have been a supporter of Obama since this race started but would vote for Hillary if she were the nominee. The fact remains, that even though I don't like her tactics (and some of these overzealous, negative Hillary Supporters), THESE CANDIDATES ARE VERY SIMILAR ON WHERE THEY STAND ON THE ISSUES. I know that some of you Hillary supporters feel the same about Obama and us overzealous supporters :-) but PLEASE VOTE ON THE ISSUES!! We have too much to lose (homes, savings accounts, jobs). Please do not vote to spite a candidate and end up hurting yourself, your family, your community!

PLEASE VOTE DEMOCRAT 2008

Gadissa   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

It will be over soon.
Obama 2008

Eli   May 19th, 2008 3:46 pm ET

If Hillary is not on the ticket in the fall, this LIFELONG DEMOCRAT will not vote Democrat this year. I think she should be an INDEPENDENT on the ballot and lets all vote for her then. I think the DEMS have done this all wrong. Their GOLDEN BOY will FALL. I will never have to apologize for voting for Obama.

All of you Obama supporters are going to eat every single negative comment you wrote about HRC. All of you will also be broken heart when Obama losses GE, you watch and see and the only way it won't happen is if you put HC to the ticket and even that could also be a no gammer due to Obama!

Carl   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Is she mad, or on something? There is no way she is going to win and if she doesn't actually know that, then there is something seriously wrong.

I just hope she changes her mind soon enough to not harm the party more than she already has.

Bill in Illinois   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Sorry to tell you Hilly but the "fat lady" has sung her song and you ain't in it!

RemoCrat   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

This is great news. Only Hillary can prevent the disaster that is about to happen to the Democratic Party and if for some fluke Obama would win in November, to our country.

Keep up the fight for America. We love you Hillary.

Rick in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

It certainly WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER if the media had ever done their job and reported on the LAWSUIT (Paul v Clinton) filed in the California courts. FRAUD allegations (duh….really….its the Clintons) and SERIOUS charges at that. They took MILLIONS.

Come on CNN…..DO YOUR JOB !!!!

judesuper   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Oh yes it is sooo over…It's soooo funnny….hahahahahaa Hillary had all the advantages and lost to a black guy nobody every heard of that everybody thinks is a muslim…hahahahah… boy how pathetic is that??????? Wow Hillary how did you waste all that money people hgave you?????

Bobby tray   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

She has every right to stay in the race. But, just like the last runner in a marathon race; they finish but they do not win.

Larry from LA   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

SUPER DELEGATES IT IS TIME TO UNITE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
AFTER MAY 20TH AND JUNE 3RD I HOPE ALL THE SUPERS WILL ENDORSE OBAMA AND LETS END THIS CLINTON EGO TRIP. i FOR ONE LOST ALL MY RESPECT FOR HER AS A POLITICAN AND AS A PERSON.

Adam from NY   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

yes, it is.

Ed NJ   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

It sounds like she wants to take this all the way to the convention!

The super delegates will need to step up big and put a stop to her scorched earth path to the destruction of the Democrat's chance to win this falll.

Irishspaceonk   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

I'm for Obama, but I'm also for Clinton staying in until June 3rd. Because at that point, Obama will be able to say he soundly beat her.

What   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

Everyone just settle down. Hillary has obviously lost, and Obama is not right for the country so far as being president of it. I guess we will have to settle for McCain and hope for the best. That being said, it is up to the hard-working Americans to turn this thing around. Don't feel like you have to rely on any politician, because they will just let you down. It's happened time and again. There will be times when you have a little and times when you have a lot, but if you have strong principles and morals those are what should be most important.

Jason   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

It's nowhere near over. It's about an hour PAST over.

Barbara in PA   May 19th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

keep going Hillary! let us let all of the people out there including the majority of the media, know that we live in a Democracy! the present administration forgot that years ago and it is more than important
to keep Democracy going in this primary. (Pay attention Senator Dean, Senator Kerry, Senator Obama and all the others on the train.)

Our constitution works- let it play out! Time to think like grown-ups.

Fed Up   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

The typical Clinton way…she's still in it only to raise money.

It's OVER!

Candi California   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Just let her continue. She needs to be able to bring in money from her diehard fans to pay off her debts. It is costing around a million a day to continue. She does not want her staff to go on welfare. They probably cannot collect unemployment. They need her. We also need her. We need the light hearted approach she brings to the process. We also need her to bring Ferraro back into the fold. Just don't preach to her about adultry and the like.

You will be the next Dem president. If not 2008 then it will be 2012.

THE NILE, not just a River in Egypt. If she takes this to the convention her legacy is finished. SELFish just like her whiney supporters, with their threats to stay home or vote for McCain if they don't get their way. She is not even fit to be VP. I guess the road to the WH now runs through Kentucky. The only good thing about that state is Diane Sawyer, who lives in NY.

bvcfgtr   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

"If we were counting electoral votes…"
"If we ignored the fact that we all agreed to disavow the MI and FL primaries…"
"If the Dems had winner-take-all primaries like the GOP…"

Here's another fun thought experiment, Hillary…if the nomination process was like golf, and the candidate with the fewest delegates was declared the winner, then you're our nominee!

All hail HRC, the President of Bizarro World!

Sue in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Stay the course Hillary. Let these keep posting as if it will make
a difference. People, you can't make it over when you choose.
She can stay the whole way ……and she will.

Rus in St. Paul, MN   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

"Nowhere near over" is a bit of an exageration, since it's obviously really, really close to over. Even including Florida and Michigan, it's really, really close to over. Math is just not in Hillary's favor, it hasn't been since before Pennsylvania.

The only way the outcome would change is if Obama either doesn't take the nomination, or has a scandal so huge come up that the supers change nomination for the good of the party. Either way, Hillary would get the nomination if she was fighting this hard or not. It's Obama's to lose now, not Hillary's to win.

We all get it Hillary, you are a fighter. But insulting our intelligence with new math, or selective math, doesn't help your cause. Realize you've done better in the polls when you've been more down to earth. People loved the Hillary in New Hampshire, the one that was not on the attack all of the time.

Don't go out this way on mis-information and pouring salt into the wounds of this campaign.

ATLian   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Just because she won those states in the PRIMARY doesn't mean they won't vote Democrat in the general election if she is not the candidate. How arrogant.

Tony - DC   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Hillary may not be the greatest choice, but out of the three stooges we are stuck with, she sure is the best choice!

Hillary is posturing for 2012. She can work as hard as she wants, but until she learns to tell the truth and gets rid of the letch she wilol NEVER get my vote. I'm sure in another 4 years the USA can find a good qualified woman to run.

v.ananthan   May 19th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

I think if the democratic party doesn^t accept that Hillary is getting more popular vote and doesn^t select her as their nominee then Hillary should go independent ….

It isn't over. Otherwise, we'd see a winner. If you think Obama has won, then why are you so afraid to let this race play out?

And if it was over, why does she keep winning states?

To be honest, I think the only problem is this process takes too long. Let all the primaries and caucases happen in just a month or two and then let it be over.

It is not over yet and if Hillary is not the nominee I am from the old school and I WILL vote for McCain, so will others in my family. I lived through eight years of Bush , I think I can handle McCain.I have seen no reason I would want to vote for Obama.He sure has had some smug looks on his face lately, and CNN still loves him. You are wrong MP Pennsylvinia . He has tossed plenty at Hillary , some by way of surrogates. The Obomanics have really been nasty,Just as CNN has.The article about Hillary going to church yesterday should have never been wrote. The comments were redicules.

robert ga   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

You cannot make your case on being dishonest. I MEAN REALLY , YOU ARE GOING TO COUNT MICHIGAN for yourself EVEN THOUGH YOU were the only one on the ballot. if that is not dishonest i don't know what is .
We are not saying that the people did not vote , they did and their delegate may be seated, but not on your terms. worst case they should be split done the middle and given half a vote each. These two states need to be purnished at some level for going against the national rules.
And all this talk about winning the big states did you really win texas that much. you lost the delegate count there and only won by 1.5% point the the primary votes.

The Lady   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Obama needs about 116 degates to reach the 2026 goal, he wil probably get about 80 between now and June 3rd. Which means he will only need 36 superdelgates to endorse him. The plane is landing Hillary get off while you can still hold your head up.

Huh?   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Hillary doesn't have ANY Electoral College votes, no matter WHAT she says. You don't get Electoral College votes until the national election is over.

This is getting crazy. Hillary, enough already….you're just starting to look pathetic, now.

Rich   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

jennifer   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

I used to think in the beginning that Hillary could win this nomination by playing fair and going on the experience she SUPPOSEDLY has,and I used to support her all the way, until she start going Bi- Polar on me.
I thought that she would look good for women, but instead she looks like a scorned woman and a sore loser.
Ifany other man was in her position right now I know that they would have backed out gracefully,and honorably.
HILLARY,if you have any descency, please be a graceful woman and do what is best for the party. Because in your effort to prove you could be just as tough as a man, you are proving that women are vengeful.
and it's certainly not a pleaseant thing to watch how you behave everyday.
It's a disgrace that the DNC n't stop her from using that 2210 crap.

Tex   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

What's so amazing, perhaps disillusional would be a better word, is Hillary really has to be the only one along with some of her supporters who still seriously considering her to be in the campaign. No one else does and that includes her most of her campaign staff who will soon be jumping ship if they haven't already done so. History will have a lot more negative spin on her campaign…these last 6-8 weeks. Obviously, she still doesn't get it that she and Bill don't call the shots or make the rules and only they think she is "entitled" to the nomination. No one else does. The number of delegates required for the nomination is 2026. Obama has 1909 delegates which translates to his needing only 117 more delegates. Tomorrow will be a big day for him. Sadly, the voters of Kentucky as usual, both want and will be, on Hillary's losing bandwagon. That's not surprising to most of us. It isn't even a matter of principle, it's really more a matter of stupidty. The fat lady is singing to the fat lady in pants' suits that "the party's overrrrrrr!"

Tiachi   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

enough is enough, you look shameless in your ever changing argument to try to STEAL the nomination from the front runner.

Carl, Atlanta   May 19th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Hillary Clinton has proved herself to be delusional. How very, very sad and pathetic. Thank goodness she didn't win the nomination! She's on the ballot in the remaining states and her dwindling number of supporters will still vote for her, but it is most definitely over. All she is doing now is wasting money, time and effort she could be redirecting to repair the damage she has done to the Democratic Party. There are no big prizes for her to win. She'll take KY with her veiled racist rhetoric, but that's pretty much it. Even if she were to win everything else, she still cannot catch Obama and the super-delegates are abandoning her in droves. She's up to another one of her tricks.

Obviously, Clinton has read, and subscribes to, the words of Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas. "Do not go gentle into that good night/ Old age should burn and rave at close of day; /Rage, rage against the dying of the light…."
I am in the middle of Carl; Bernstien's biography on Clinton and it certainly explains her obssessive greed for power. Maybe it is time for her to forgo her past and look to her future.
A better legacy for her would be a graceful departure from the campaign, but her desire to be a "fighter" is too ingrained. Sad, sad.

Jane L.   May 19th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

We do not have a nominee yet, no matter how much Sen. Obama is already trying to act presidential or how often the news media refers to him as the "likely nominee!" The people decide this primary election, and so far more of them have voted for Sen. Clinton.
If the rules and bylaws committe that meets in Washington this May 31 to resolve the Fla./Mich. debacle thinks they can railroad Sen. Clinton's supporters and then expect unity in November, I believe they're wrong.
For that matter, unless the DNC changes its ridiculous rules and caucuses before the next time, they'll probably lose a lot of democrats to the independent party. Logically the primaries should be conducted the same way the general election is conducted. The more complicated methods the DNC uses leaves way too much room for subjective "appointments," as we have just seen.

Tony - DC   May 19th, 2008 3:42 pm ET

IF the media had given unbiased, equal coverage to ALL candidates, rather than to the novelty acts (ex-POW, ex-CEO, a woman and a black man) Joe Biden would have been teh nominee months ago!

As in the lead up to the war, they only covered what they saw fit to cover.

I agree that the two States be counted and in addition, why isn't the Media giving any coverage about Hillary's lead in the popular vote? Why is the Media keeping this a hush hush? I still think that you guys should be fair and do your jobs. STOP BEING BIASED!!

I look forwards to seeing someone start a media that is truly fair and honest. The media is aware that the only true honest coverage is one where you are personally present and able to make your own judgements. This fact gives the media power over the people because they know that they have the advantage.

What else is expected of the bunch of mean-spirited, hate-filled Obama's supporters. They think they are entitled to the Dem nomination.

J   May 19th, 2008 3:41 pm ET

Quit looking at national popular vote polls. I understand every single person in Washington will run to the polls to vote for Obama in the national. Fortunately, that won't mean much because Obama will not win over ANY red states. McCain is fairly moderate and will steal quite a few votes from independents. No matter how bad the ultra liberal democrats want Obama (or wanted John Kerry in the past) this thing is almost a shoe in for McCain at this point. The truth is Obama only represents a vocal minority and has nothing in common with the majority. I'm glad he's a black candidate and people are excited.

If Condoleeza Rice ran for the GOP and made it this far would you be singing the same tune? Would she be allowed to call you racist then? This isn't about race it's about policy, and Obama's ideas are far too left wing to be realistic.

PDM   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Sounds like Hillary "found her voice" again and its beginning to sound like nails on a chalk board. The really funny thing is that she is losing without Obama airing out the Clinton's dirty laundry or capitalizing on her Republican-esc tactics of fear and exploitation. Clinton supporters complain incessantly about the bias media, but the GOP has a whole bag of tricks vis-a-vis the swiftboat attacks for both Hillary and her Husband. If you think the media is bad, just wait to see what the Republicans will throw at Nominee Clinton.

Oh! The Irony   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

You said it enough and still don't have superdelagates flocking towards you. And your supporters wonder why, this lady is basically saying if I don't get this nomination no one will. (Hint : means Obama)
I agree she should not drop out only until June 3. But if this lady wants to believe that she will be Our President this lady need to stop practicing for those 3am calls. If not Obama, NO ONE!!!! ( I got that from Clintons supporters…..so stupid……LOL!!!!!!

I am a supporter of Obama and he is the next President of United States!!!!!!

Chris from Michigan (yeah THAT state)   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Actually it's over Hillary, I'm sorry but its been since Indiana to say the most. And your count of actual delegate wins to date are traditionally democratic states that I'm almost sure Obama will win in the fall, coupled with the fact that Obama has a large base in swing and republican states and a large base of independents for him as well, it will be no surprise to me that Obama will take well over 270 delegates in the fall.

Congratulations on making this far Hillary, it was a good campaign for you even though you came out fighting dirty and now you're mired in debt (scary to think she can run a national budget with her campaign management), but it's over for you, please unite our party now, and forget the drama of this primary campaign and embrace the ideals both you and Barack hold true and that is the American People's prosperity, please think of the American people for once instead of yourself.

Chuck, Democrats United We Stand   May 19th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

Okay, this is getting old. Florida and Michigan will not impact this for Sen Clinton in a favorable way that hands her the nomination (per the DNC). Florida and Michigan will be seated and counted but not the way Sen Clinton wants it to be, she needs to go back to school and refresh her basic math skills. But thats okay, keep spinning until its over and then hope you can recover what little respect and dignity you may have left when it is over.

She needs to be carefull. Its one thing to undemine him so she gets a shot in 2012, but you can't be so blatent about it that the party leadership will hold it against you.

It really isn't over yet technically so I don't mind her still fighting and hoping for a miracle. What's damaging is her insistance that the party's process is somehow unfair and that even when they name a nominee it won't be legitimate.

Even with her best case (which btw is ridiculous) for MI and FA she wouldn't be winning.

Last year, Clinton said Michigan votes dont count but now they do? She say's it's not over til every voice is heard & every vote counts – but then goes on to say "i'm winning if you dont count the caucus states that Obama won". I've been a Clinton supporter from the jump, but it's becoming more clear that she keeps changing the rules until they are in her favor.

Remember at one time she didn’t care about FL & MI, popular vote didn’t mean a thing to her? At one point during this election season the presidency was for the democrats for the taking, now look at where we are. But since we have enough boneheads we will never learn from history with all these narrow mindedness.

I was at the Obama rally in Portland. It was amazing. 75000 people ..some of whom had to wait up to 3 hours to see him. He is an inspirational speaker who has brought people out to register and to vote and to get involved. As a woman who remembers the Kennedy campaign..I can personally testify to the fact that Obama has truly re-ignited the American people's faith in democracy and in the future. I have supported Bill Clinton and respect him but now is the time for Obama.
People who liked Bill Clinton and like Hillary should have no reason to support McCain and every reason to support Obama. Its time to come together .
As a feminist I could not support McCain who would be making the appointments to the Supreme Court and roll back advances for women's freedom.

It's obvious that Clinton and Ferraro are seeking to create animosity for Barack Obama in the general election by displaying these bitter attitudes to the Clinton supporters. They are clearly making this election about gender and seeking to direct her supporters away from Barack.

This further proves to me that from the beginning this was all bout Sen. Clinton and not the American people….at least in her eyes.

Primary is over for Clinton and so is general election for democrats.

steven   May 19th, 2008 3:39 pm ET

Hillary -

Actually it is Everywhere near of being over.

Most delegates, Most super delegates, most popular vote, most states.
Most senators, most representatives, most governors.

Only DNC members are tied. And even that group, an appointed, not elected group, use to be overwhelmingly in Hillary's favor, is now even.

So Hillary,
Every one else could read the situation clearly.
Is this supposed to be a demonstration of judgment?

Hillary will only stand down when the supers stand up.

N.   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Hillary it's over! And get rid of your old racist friends like Ferraro if you want to be considered for VP. Its time to do some house cleaning and take out the garbage.

Charlotte   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

It is not over! Obama does not have the number of delegates needed to win at this point in time. He may at a later date, but as of today he is not the nominee. Why should she quit? I will write her name on my ballot in November. So for me and many more, it won't be over until after the votes are counted in November.

Joey M   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Getting a touch pathetic. Hillary's strategy seems to be coming out of the fire here. Clinton plans on making this race as close as possible. She will use the 2 states that had the superdelegates stripped in her own personal numbers in order to attempt to cause a controversy regarding who the rightful nominee should REALLY be in her opinion. So this comes down to her not bowing out because she plans on losing, but making a big stink about it. How ungraceful can you possibly be. Theres nothing lady like about this woman and certainly nothing presidential. Unable to admit defeat because your too proud, this sounds like a failed war strategy Im hearing so much about lately which has destablized our economy and driven gas prices through the roof. Thanks for the leadership. I really appreciate it everytime i look into my wallet.

James Spider   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Hellary Will Win, mark my Words, the Obbama people don't have the Votes, we Have a Clear majority, Who would you rather have in the White house, Bill and Hellary Clinton or some one that never had been there before, you have to Think a bout it Care fully befor You Vote, Hellary and Bill Clinton is the Best choice for any one, Obbama never had the experence the Clinton's have, Sorry but Hellary is going to win this one, there is still 3 elections to go, watch and you will be suprised, I urge all Obbama and MacAin voters to consider switch your Votes.

Hey, you're kinda funny sweetie. You probably come up with all of your ideas by throwing a dart at a board, because sometimes the things you say resemble something an ignorant Republican would say. Go home.

Dear Senator Clinton,

It is over.

felicia   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Its over, Hillary. I think that you are a great candidate for the VP! Think about it, its better than nothing. And its really sad that so many people here in our great country are willing to vote for McCain if HIllary doesn't get the nomination. They would rather vote for a senile, racist (remember the KING HOLIDAY) then vote for a black man. Its sad.

km   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

I knew it…she's taking it to the convention. What else could she possibly mean?

Jay Fray   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

AAAAAAAwWWW Give me a break!!! stick a fork in this chick already…. Hillary, take your pants suits to the cleaners, because all i see coming from you is 'FiLth' and please stop trying to spin everything and change the psychology of it all. its a reynolds wrap for you so, just wrap it up and go kick rocks somewhere.

stop trying to steal the election and let the Dems unite. I know its hard but, come on, think about America first. Thanks.

WhoCareWhatThisOldManSays   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

I can not beleive this now it is Kentucky that is needed to win the general election. This woman has ideed lose screw she needs help. Get lost Hillary we do not want to see your wrinkiled face or your cheating husband again.

Dancindukes   May 19th, 2008 3:38 pm ET

Hillary – just keep saying Mission Accomplished. Even Bill has not been seen much lately.

Candace from Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Hillary no it's not over literally, but it is over for you. Barack has been really nice to you and has not given you the boot but you need to recognize that you are not going to be the elected nominee no matter how long or how hard you try. It almost 200 delegates over you over!!!!

Trina   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

She has to say things like that … to appease her donors and supporters. It is SO OVER.

fred   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

YOU TELL THEM HILLARY…THE DNC IS BIASED AND RUNNING CROOKED PRIMARY!!

HOWARD DEAN AND OBAMA WILL BOTH GET THEIR SOCK BLOWN OFF IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!

WRITE IN HILLARY or
VOTE FOR McCAIN!!

Chris   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Granted, this has become a brokered nomination at this point, and we understand Hillary's new arguments to the superdelegates. But is she really willing to set the Democratic nominating process on its ear, disenfranchise every Democratic vote in the country, and endanger the entire electoral process in order to put herself first? Do the ends really justify the means, Hillary?

Living in the USA   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Hiliary is running this election the same way she does in her marriage. She is delusional and hanging onto something that isn't working.

alice2Fresno,CA   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Hillary it is getting time for that Reality Check. You have run a Tough & Tireless campaign etc etc "you know the story" BUT now it is OVER. Sorry, NO Clinton Dynasty. You Lost. BARACK OBAMA WON.

Vivi Sanders   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

I read this article first on my comcast news page and further down in the article was this:

"Clinton also revived her pitch that many of the states where he (Obama) has beaten her, like Alaska, Idaho, and Utah, matter less because they would not be competitive for Democrats in November."

Now, I'm not from any of these states but I find it offensive and "elitist" that Clinton would say this. She's trying hard to make the popular votes from Michigan and Florida count, but if the votes from Alaska, Idaho, and Utah matter less is she planning on not counting those. I thought she was of a mind that every vote counts.

BTW, I'm a Republican but I'll be voting for Obama this fall!

Terry in Fl   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

You tell'em Hillary! Because if they don't listen, there will be plenty of Democrats who will TELL them in November!

I want a democratic president but will NEVER vote Obama!
Women UNITE AGAINST Obama!

Hilda   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

I want a Clinton supporter to answer this question: If Hillary was in the lead as Obama is how would you feel if he kept changing the rules and moving the goal post? Just tell me why is that ok with so many of you? There are no OVers in this nomination process, it can't go on forever. Honestly sometimes I don't care who wins even Hillary if she would just quit talking,changing the rules, and making a fool out of herself. You all say you won't vote for Obama ok, if we say we won't vote for Hillary, she won't be able to win either. So what do we have after that. Another Bush in the White House, now that is really smart!!

Keisha   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Hillary has gone completely senile!!!!!!

Jon V   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

Just accept the VP nomination and move on, for the sake of our country!

Joe   May 19th, 2008 3:37 pm ET

IT'S OVER HILLIARY!

JUST GO AWAY ALREADY AND TAKE YOUR STUPID
SUPPORTERS WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK GOD FOR CHANGE. YES WE CAN! OBAMA '08!

Real Dem   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Why is it that when 92% of black voters in NC vote for Obama it is not considered racist. But, when 62% of white voters in WV vote for Clinton white people are gun-toting-rednecks? This is one of the reasons why a significant percentage of Clinton supports will never support Obama. We're tired of being cast as something we're not. This is going to lead to giving the general election to the idiot Republicans YET AGAIN!

Sam   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

I think everyone is trying to be nice and let Hillary step out of the race with respect…but it looks like someone is going to have to tell her it is over and get the hell out of the way!!!

In love in TX   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

I don't know… but I'm really infatuated by Hillary. I think she's very pretty. That's just my opinion anyway.

Dal CA Republican   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

“You know, Kentucky has a history of picking presidents," she said. "People don’t get elected president without winning Kentucky.”
Last week it was West Virginia.
When she started the campaign she just wanted big states, small states did not count, so what changed. She started to loose. This lose she could not bear hence the change

daniel   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

How could she claim the same BS again and again and again… She is more looking for POWER than anything else. She will broke the party.. How cold she do that , is anybody there to tell her to quit before it's too late..

Taylor   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

I'm going to nip this in the bud, just in case. All you Democrats Clinton Supporters who say they won't vote for Obama and will vote McCain out of SPITE are MORONS. You'd really sacrifice the country and your values by voting for someone who has the most dissimilar political views than Clinton, instead of the candidate who has the Democratic values? Our of SPITE? You're terrible Americans and unpatriotic. Just listen to yourselves and how stupid you are.

Miguel   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Ok Hillary .. repeat after me …. 2026, 2026 , 2026, 2026. This will be the number unless the DNC Rules and Bylaw Committee on May 30th decides otherwise.

PS: I respect the Clintons but they must play the rules that were agreed upon prior to the start of the race.

Ron Paul versus Hillary Clinton!!

Who will win??

Fitz   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

I understand Hillary doesn't want to quit but it's obvious she can't pull ahead unless she feels the super's will change their minds one of these days and come back to her.

Secondly, I don't know about you, but I think Geraldine Ferraro's comments are probably the worse I have heard from a national figure of late in the Dem Party. How could she make such a statement? Talk about mean spirited. I don't even recall Senator Obama saying anything sexist and I thought I had been following the primaries pretty closely.

She seems like she will say anything to try and damage this man all in favor of Hillary in the eyes of the american public.

LOL Clinton   May 19th, 2008 3:36 pm ET

Sounds like something Bush has said about the war in IRAQ.

Nowhere Near OVER!

jim   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

sad. this chick is so delusional. she'll tell us all it's still early in the race. all she's doing is placing unneccessary hurdles in front of Obama in his race toward beating McCain (handily) in November. for ONCE IN YOUR LIFE hillary, would you please be a team player? just once. one time. we need you to drop out and support the presumptive nominee. get a grip and help the democrats defeat 100 years in Iraq McCain who is most certainly not my friend, "my friends."

Roger   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Maya – First, it wasn't Ted but rather John that you are talking about. Secondly and most importantly, he went to the convention without enough delegates to win but he was in the lead at the time, Hillary is not in the lead!!

Big difference between taking the lead to the convention versus being behind and going to the convention.

Amber   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

"…as goes Ohio, so goes the nation…. as goes Pennsylvania, so goes the nation…. as goes Kentucky, so goes the nation…" yeah, Hillary, whatever state you're in, so goes the nation.

You lost. Get over it & get on with it!

J Dole   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

It's not over until Hillary can raise another 20 million from her supporters so she can pay off her debts before she ends the race.

However, if Obama was smart he would pick her as a running mate. She has millions of ardent supporters.

Speaking of her supporters, I don't think any Dem really believes the Hillary supporters (Dems) will be voting for a republican. No one believes you and your 'if we don't win we'll take the ball and go home' childish attitude.

Sure some of you are childish, I'll give you that.

madeleine   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

GO FOR IT HILLARY. THERE ARETHOUSANDS OF US, WHO WILL SUPPORT ONLY YOU!!!!!
OBAMA WILL NOT be elected as PRESIDENT IF YOU DO NOT GET NOMINATED.

I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE TO ENDORSE HIM IF YOU DONT MAKE IT, BUT I ALSO KNOW THERE THOUSAND OF US WHO WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR MCCAIN THAN OBAMA.

go fighting, pundits are enamared with obama's elocution what a sell out.

Francis, Hawaii   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

stop manipulating! DNC stripped Florida and Michigan delegates so why are you keep sayingi Florida and Michigan delegates should count? They new what they were doing and broke the rules intentionally. Why did you not say so at the beginning and now that you are behind, you need their votes to count. What a typical politician! Always manipulating.

NOT YET. IT WILL BE OVER WHEN McCAIN SWEARS AS PRESIDENT. HILLARY WILL REFUSE THE VP OFFER SINCE SHE IS FAR BETTER THAN OBAMA. WE WILL VOTE FOR McCAIN. YOU WANT TO PLAY? LET'S PLAY. OBAMA'S ARROGANT ELITISTS ARE STILL CONVINCED THAT THEY OWN THE TRUTH DESPITE OVERWELMING SIGNS OF WEAKNESS ABOUT THEIR MESSIAH: JEREMIAH WRIGHT, TONY REZKO, NADHMI AUCHI, AIHAM ALSAMMARAE.

Clint in Kentucky   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

WooHoo, I'm getting to vote tomorrow!!!

A word of advice to all the people whose states have already voted:

We supported you and kept the primary going while your state voted. You can do the same and be patient while the rest of us cast our votes.

It's only a democracy when ALL the votes get counted.

Harry   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

I'm an ex-Clinton supporter and I defend her absolute right to stay in this race till the end. What I don't defend are her lies, her racism and her Obama bashing (when there's a perfectly good McCain around). I sincerely hope she doesn't do irrepairable damage to the party.

Col   May 19th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

More people voted for hillary than any other candidate ever–b/c she is THE BEST candidate and leader for our country – smarts-wits-determination-specific solutions—yet dare i admit what others will not -the electorate facts for nov. would have superdelegates support her–but no–wait he's a black man and they would be criticized as discriminating—so like many other situations today –the lesser candidate may get the nomination cuz–regardless of who is stronger cand. -DNC will throw white hous eaway-cuz of fear of racial backlash

Eddie   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Why does she keep crying about Florida and Michigan,she had the chance to stand up for them and she sold them out when she thought that she did not need them.I am really proud to see the change that Obama has already brought to America.The ex head of the KKK is endorsing him,thanks Senator Byrd.The number is 2,026 Hillary,not2,210 just stop lying and quit .

Jamaal Kansas   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Hillary Honestly The World is Watching You try to Switch the goal post around every week Now I liked this Reality Show But Now is Time to Get to Business and Beat the Republicans If you Steal the Election from Barack Obama there is no chance in Hell you would never get Elected to any Democratic office again let Alone the Presidentacy.

al-des moines   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

It's not over until the roll call.

usct   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

You may not like it but she is right. It will not be over until she says it is or the rules committee makes a decision that ends it before the convention. Until then she will stay in and as long as she is in anything could happen. Such is life for Democrats at this time.

semp   May 19th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

Kiyomi   May 19th, 2008 3:33 pm ET

Of course the DNC can break the rules to lower the number of delegates needed… They're making voters suffer the consequences for breaking a self-imposed rule, when they freely change the rules when convenient? If rules are going to be broken anyway, forget the rules and do what's right – count the voters who came in huge numbers to vote. Obama CHOSE to take his name off Michigan – told voters that their votes won't matter for that race (how cynical and unpatriotic) – and is crying about it now. Both candidates didn't campaign in Florida… Those votes should go to Hillary!

Q: How could she accomplish not looking like a quitter to her supporters even though she knows its over while simultaneously undo all the damage she did to Barack and the party this campaign?

A: Stay in the race, but don't attack or even mention Obama, just attack the republicans. She's saving face and doing damage control at the same time. I only hope this isn't too little too late.

BS ALERT!

“You know, Kentucky has a history of picking presidents," she said. "People don’t get elected president without winning Kentucky.”

Unless your name is Kennedy, Eisenhower, or Obama

YouKnowWhat   May 19th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

“You know, Kentucky has a history of picking presidents," she said. "People don’t get elected president without winning Kentucky.”

She's using the same line she used in W.VA…Maybe she shoulda used it over and over from the beginning…

voter in AR: your argument does make sense. The fact that she does not attack Obama as much as she used to shows that she wants to preserve the Democratic integrity. I don't think she is delusional. She's just trying to hold on to her supporters as long as possible and make them understand that it is not about her but about a Democratic win in November.
If Hillary's supporters cannot understand that and act as sore losers because their idol didnt get the nomication, then McCain wins…

Amber   May 19th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

Uh, Hill, sweetie, IT'S OVER!

sherrie50   May 19th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

She has a right to continue her fight to the last primary. If I needed to fight my cause, it will be HC. True, she does have more popular votes as BO won more caucas states not primaries. Being a fighter is considered a negative now, but I have always been taught to never give up until you have you have given your all. She serves to be a good role model for our children who give up too easiness when times are tough, or when confronted with adversities. Even if she does not win, I will always respect her as a warrior. Good job HC

You know, if an applicant came to me for an interview and I thanked them for their time but hired someone else, I'd start to worry if that candidate kept hanging around to ask me when I was going to hire them. No wonder people compare her to Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Since when is stalking an election strategy?

Obama Next POTUS   May 19th, 2008 3:32 pm ET

I can't stand this lady. This is all about her and nothing else. Why people like the Clintons is mind boggling to me. This lady is not helping her party by staying in, she really needs to step aside. Not another Clinton Presidency. For the love of God people vote for BARACK OBAMA!!!!

justin in IN   May 19th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

It's not over. Well, unless you support Obama, then it's over.

It will be over when Obama snakes his way to the nomination, and then loses to McCain. Hillary should take it any way she can get it, because that's the ONLY chance there is to get a Democrat back in the white house.

And sorry Hillary, I support you, but I will not vote for your opponent should you lose this nomination.

Tjaye   May 19th, 2008 3:31 pm ET

Why is it ONLY the states she wins are the states that "pick the Presidents", but we need to keep the race going because ALL the states should count? Which one is it?

This chick is making women look bad! And the silly broads who follow her are just making it worse.

Obama can NOT pick this broad for VP. She is ridiculous now.

Obama O-8!

MP-Pennsylvania, I totaly agree with you I admire his courage, I could never run for any office I don't have that in me to with stand all the negative and not fight back because as you know Hillary has so much negative baggage he could have worn her out and me I would have Knocked her out.

Susan   May 19th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Those Obama supporters who gloat better be really careful. Hillary is the superior candidate, not the the trend. Trends fade – sometimes quickly. Ignorance is bliss . . . to a point. So, enjoy your pep rallies and melodic speeches but remember that Hillary has faced the enemy before, and Obama has not.

Exhausted   May 19th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Oh, Hillary, we are so tired of you. Please go and take Geraldine with you.

johnq   May 19th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

Hillary,
Thank you for your continued support of operation chaos. As planned, but you and Obama are being exposed for what you are. Do any of you faithful dems believe that either candidate can honestly take the oath of office?

“I do solemnly swear (or affi rm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my
Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States.”

I don't think either have ever read it… have you? Can any of you image what the founding fathers would have to say about these two clowns?

Amazed   May 19th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

So much for bowing out gracefully.

Anonymous   May 19th, 2008 3:30 pm ET

HILLARY WAKE UP AND STOP DREAMING . THE DELEGATES NEEDED TO WIN THIS IS 2026. WHERE IS YOUR NUMBER COMING FROM…………

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

veronica   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Thats right its not over and Obama is looking really week agianst McCain he looks like a little boy that doesnt know what to do I really hope the Super delegates are looking at this.

sprkl12000   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

I actually like Hillary and admire her tenacity…she is trying to let folks know she is still in the race although the media, etc. pretty much are OVERLOOKING her…

However, the fact remains that she signed the agreement along with every other Democratic nominee regarding the rules…Florida and Michigan violated the rules and they should be punished for it…I'm sure that some delegates will be seated but not enough for her to continue…

Even Donna Brazille, who is on the rules committee, said that they have to be fair to the OTHER 48 states that followed the rules…and that the number is 2026 until they say otherwise(not Hillary)…..

Tom   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

People better start getting nice and getting real….hating either candidate is pointless. Neither can win without the other, it's simply too close a nomination win numerically. Expect a Obama/Clinton ticket offer.

Just when I was starting to defend her… sigh.

Sick and tired   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Thanks a lot for dividing the party! And for all the rest of you idiots who thinks she should keep going, do us a favor and leave the party!

Democrat for life!

Sean   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Shes just trying to con her supporters into paying off her 21 million dollar debt for her. Its really disgusting how she is taking advantage of these poor peoples hopes and dreams of seeing a woman in office. Shes giving up our nations future for her own monatary gain, I wish she would stop selling these people false hope, they will just be crushed in the end when she finally loses.

Alan Boyer   May 19th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

It's good to keep playing the game even though the outcome is obvious.

Dark Kent; not Clark Kent   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Ms. Clinton …

Is there anyway that the democratic candidate, no matter whether it is you or Senator Obama, will lose electoral vote rich states of NY and California? Certainly most informed voters don't think that is the case.

So, I have two questions for you;

Given this, isn't your claim of "300″ electoral votes vs 217 for Mr. Obama, false & misleading?

How many electoral votes will the Democratic candidate, whether its you or Senator Obama pick up in Puerto Rico?

rn   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

a very stuuborn sore loser who cannot seem to read the tea leaves – if I may simplfy it, hilary you have almost lost , florida and micihgan do NOT count and u accepted the rules, stop being a sore loser. Bill and Chelsea seems very quiet these days, does that send mommy dearest a message.

Captain Obvious   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Ughhhh, give it a rest Hillary. IT'S OVER! You're sitting in the life boat and telling people that the ship hasn't sunk. Save some dignity (not to mention money, both yours and taxpayers) and end it already. Be dignified, admit defeat and move on instead of pretending you still have a chance. You're making yourself look more and more foolish every day you stay in the "race"

David   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

"I know he is ahead in the popular vote, he has more delegats and has won more states. But I beg you… VOTE FOR ME, I'M WHITE!!!! OTHER WHITE PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR ME TOO!!!!!" give it up Hillary

Mabel Gangois   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

DNC, count the votes from FL or MI. The alternative is the defection to the Republican party in Nov. That's the way things are and there's nothing else you can do about it. Also, the nastiness of the Obama supporters to everyone else is pushing many Dems away….

Ogirl   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Wow. So Byrd (he formerly of the KKK) supports Obama. Now THAT is progress. Unfortunately, given the tone of the Obamabots, why would Hillary support YOU? You have an incredibly nasty tone, particularly in light of all that the Clintons have done for the Democratic Party in the past. In 1980, Teddy Kennedy took it to the convention, and it did not blow up the Democratic Party (Jimmy Carter did that by himself, with help from the Iranians, high gas prices, etc.). Obama WILL win the nomination, and if he doesn't win the election in November, then the Obamabots have only themselves to blame for all the nastiness that is chasing away would-be Democratic voters.

And, no, just as Hillary did not have an entitlement to the nomination, Obama does not have an entitlement to win the election in November. He still needs to gain the support of people who did not attend caucuses or vote in the primaries (not to mention getting the support of Hillary supporters who have been so maligned on these sites), which happens to be the vast majority of the American people. Honey is what gets voter support, not the vinegar of the Obamabots on these sites. Uniter, or divider?

Jim   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Go Hillary! You said it girl! You can save the Dems and win the election in November. Never give up. You have legions following you!

President Hillary Clinton 2008, 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erick FL   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

I really think Hilary may run as an independent…Like she said, "this is nowhere near over."
The Obamabots really need to study the Electoral Map, Obama does not stand a chance.
This whole idea about persuading Clinton voters about 4more yrs of Bush is not going to work.

PSmith   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Wohooooooooooooooooooo!

Go Hillary!!!

Obamamaniac are running scared because they know without us the Republicans will rule another 4 years…

Who cares!!!

MK/Chicago   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Would HRC want to go back and seat Michigan and Florida if it meant Obama would get some and be right behind her? Doubtful. Rules are rules. If Clinton supporters want to vote for McCain, go ahead, it's a free country and it means you're not really democrats then are you. McCain is a lot of things, distinguished senator, war hero, decent guy, BUT HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT! Think about it!

Rudy NYC   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

I think Hillary is just securing her political future. She has toned down the Obama rhetoric, and re-focused on McCain. Hillary is a smart lady, and realizes that what is best for the country is for McCain to not be the next President of the United States of America. That's her rhetoric not mine folks.

V4OBAMA   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm………………it's over.

Sue, Bloomington, IN   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

Hillary is only ahead in the popular vote if you disenfranchise all the caucus states and the Michigan voters who voted against her for "uncommitted". Her rhetoric is so confused and illogical it's absurd. This is not a close primary. Obama has won by every REAL metric and he's the one who has abided by the rules set down by the DNC–Hillary broke those rules and expects to be rewarded for that. If I were a supporter of hers, I wouldn't be bashing Obama; I'd be wondering why Hillary is still taking money from them under false pretenses.

Carlos Ventura   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

First Hillary Clinton said 2025 delegates were needed to win the nomination, then she said 2209, now she said 2210. For God Sake, can you please stop the game and stop making yourself look stupid. I will Vote for you in 2016 if you stop now.

rumpusgoopus   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

I'm just afraid of what her definition of "having a nominee" might be. I just see her still campaigning the day Obama is sworn in.

phil   May 19th, 2008 3:28 pm ET

If you had divorced Bill you would have probably won this thing out-right. But you stood by your man and lost. Get a divorce. Get a new plan and go for 2012.

Anonymous   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

When Hillary wins by a small margin they say "a wins, a wins." When Obama wins by a small margin they say its a tie. Obama has won on all fronts, popular vote, delegates, money raised, most states etc. What else does Obama have to do to win this thing.

Tommy   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I wonder if she and George W reside in the same delusional fantasyland?

Captian Obvious...   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

…and some people want her to be our President!

Lynda from Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

I realize that this must be very painful for Hillary to face, but it is over – I think she should stay in the race until the last primary is over as long as shee keeps from going negative – this would allow all states to have their vote.

I am sure she is not delusional and hope she will exit gracefully so as not to turn the election to another 4 years of disasterous policies.

Brown   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Tony Z- MD   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

She wins in states that are normally Democratic. This is nothing more than spin. At the end of the day, Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee and unite the party. Hillary is just making a good showing.

Helene   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

With all due respect Senator Clinton, you have lost the race. Now is time to unite around Obama and help the democrats defeat McCain in November. Nothing else matters.

BHO Not my candidate   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Thank you Hillary for running… obama should forfeit for ignoring you…

Tim   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Stick a fork in her campaign, she's done. Let her finish it out if she wants, but let's keep it clean and focus on the issues. Nobody should feel like they've been "disenfranchised" because the process finished before they got a chance to vote – as ludicrous as I think that mindset is, I don't want anyone to be left out in the cold. We're going to need these people come November.

RAY IN NJ   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Oh puh-lease!! You've help to make this the most interesting race in American history. But, it's time to hang up the gloves and go after Bush III.

Joann-PA   May 19th, 2008 3:27 pm ET

Obama does not have the experience to run this country! You can't and must not negotiate with terrorists! If Obama becomes president we will have more attacks on the USA then you can imagine. He is not a fighter all he does is "cry about everything" poor poor Obama. They are talking about my wife, they are talking about me come on we are in need of a fighter for a president he is to soft! He is not going to win against Mccain and the party is not going to come together. You Obama supporters are not looking at the facts! You hear "change" and hear nothing else! What about the facts. Hillary won all the swing states and you can't win the general election without them! Let Florida and Michigan vote again! This is a democracy! Let the people choose! I will pray for our country because if Obama becomes president God help us all!

Neelam   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

So, HIlliary's campaign now started talking about electoral votes? come 'on! wake up guys, the democratic candidates are chosen based on convention delegate counts, not GE electoral votes.

@americans   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

this woman is dilusional!

keep moving the goal-post ahead because she not winning!

Hillarious, if you can't win by 2026 delegate count, how can you win by increasing the delegates count to 2,210!

Hillary, please drop out before you & your REPUBLICAN democrats destroy our party!

Yall can go vote McShame!

bernice   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Oh yeah — and it's not the fact that you're a woman that people don't want you — it's because you're YOU that people don't support you.

You are such an intelligient person and most times reasonable — however, when you say or do things that are underhanded, they realize that they can not TRUST you. Don't blame Obama for your misguided ways and mishandling of your campaign!

Avram (Yes I´m Jewish)   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Sorry Hillary,

I love you and have support you all along, but I have to admit it´s OVER. LET´S MOVE ON !! Are we going to be STUPID once again and vote for a REPUBLICAN over one of our own !! Can´t you guys see that´s exactly what Carl Rove, Rush Lumbaug want´s. We would just be playing their game. So let´s get our act together and vote a Democrat back to the presidency.

A Hillary Supporter !! DEM 2008 – 3000000012 !!!!

Judy D, Rochester, NY   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Here we go again…the Clinton's trying to make it according to THEIR rules and again trying to twist it to their preference. She signed off on Florida and Michigan in October – is she having a "senior moment" ? and forgetting everything? Who says the rest of the country doesn't matter. Enough already. If I had one suggestion for how the Clinton campaign should continue – it's easy – stop running.

v.ananthan   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Obama will be actually stealing the nomination because Hillary got more votes from the democrats than Obama and will be getting the popular vote also but Obama may get the democratic party nomination because Obama used (misused) the caucus system……

Wesley   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

What is she talking about. She doesn't have more popular votes under any situation. If you include Michigan, does Obama get all the Uncommitted votes? So Clinton only wants to count the votes that she got and none that Obama got….since he took his name off the ballots like they all were supose to. She is such an opportunistic cheat. And I use to like her. It would have been very difficult to vote for her if she got the nomination since I am a true Democrat.

Helena   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Hillary, it is over. Barack Obama will be the democratic nominee. The latest national poll today has Barack ahead by 16 points: 55-39. He is ahead with Superdelegates, delegates & popular vote.

hk   May 19th, 2008 3:26 pm ET

Senator Clinton, please keep up the fight. We are behind you 100%.

We won't give up, we won't give in!

President Hillary Clinton 2008!

Tp   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

I don't know where she gets her numbers from (2210), but the DNC says it is 2026 needed to win the nomination and as far as I know they have not changed that and have not said they are going to change that.

Sherri   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Hillary, your insults to Caucus states like mine, make me support Senator Obama even more. Why do you belittle our process so much? Don't our votes count? Doesn't our time and energy count?

More people turned out for the Washington State Caucus process than ever before in the history of the state. Obama won overwhelmingly. Stop belittling a good number of voters in this great country. We count too, even if you want to try to exclude us from the count.

Go Obama!!!

Tired of W, OH   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

CNN, why is it a new headline in the ticker every time Hillary says it's not over. She says this every day! Is it a slow news day, or what?

Scooter   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Her math skills have proven to be poor and now we can add history to her failed subjects. Here's quick list of Kentucky primary winners that DID NOT get elected president:

1988: Al Gore
1996: Bob Dole
2000: Al Gore
2004: John Kerry

Next we can add 2008: Hillary Clinton

"Obama Supporter, but anybody but McCain 08! May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Hillary, are you dyslexic? The number is 2,026″

Not if you include Florida and Michigan… then the number is 2210.

Bottom line… Obama doesn't HAVE EITHER number… 2026 or 2210. It is almost funny how he prances around nominating himself and doesn't want to play by the rules… A little too arrogant for my taste.

Albuquerque   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Go Hillary!

It is not over.

Bushwhacked in Eugene, OR   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Sorry Hillary. I used to be a fan, but your wanting to change the rules [re Florida and Michigan] for your own benefit is just one more example of the lack of integrity you've shown, and that's driven me away from you.

It's over. Accept it with dignity and move on.

Obama v McCain   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

I know why she's saying this.. she's going to drop a Hillary Clinton kitchen sink bomb very very soon..their camp claims to be sitting on a story that they really dont know how to let out yet about Obama..

I Asian From VA   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Voting for McCain is like voting for third term for Bush. So Obama suppoters do you really believe Obama has the answer to all these problems in our country. This is what call "Fairy tale dreams".

After this election, American need a lot of praying.

Deb   May 19th, 2008 3:25 pm ET

Hilliary is all for herself. Her behavior is irresponsible and arrogant. She has not and cannot earn enough delegates, superdelegates or votes to win the democratic nomination. She should bow out now gracefully and with what little dignity she has left.

It is clear that she has lost; if she continues down this destructive path, she will also continue to lose the confidence of the American people as well as her "supporters."

Obama '08

Debra Austin, Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

The reality is that the longer she goes on, the more I don't want her for dog catcher. She can keep going if she thinks this is getting her anything but more and more she is looking just like George W. Bush, stubborn and unyiedling. We just had a President with those credentials, I don't want another.

New Day   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Oh, let the old lady have her 5 last primaries. Sheeeesh!

LeftyLadig   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Hillary, it has been over since your imaginary sniper fire.

A. Harrison in Georgia   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

I agree with Hillary Totally!

This race is not over. Do the Lakers, Spurs, Magic, Patriots, Mets, Braves, etc run off the court, field etc when they are loosing or winning for that matter. Give this "race is over" nonsense a rest and watch this thing play out.

Fair is fair.

Carol in Northern California   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Really, Hillary? This "we must count the votes from Mich & Fla" is so over the top. It was SHE who kept her name on the ballot in MI when ALL of the candidates agreed to NOT campaign there or keep their names on. Yes,it is easy to "win" a state when your name is the only one on the ballot. The Clintons change the rules when it benefits them. We are sick of this, Hllary. PLEASE go home and take Bill with you.

Swalker327   May 19th, 2008 3:24 pm ET

Hillary please go away before you completely tear our party apart!!

Hillary, it's over! you just look silly at this point.

Do us all a favor and just go away!

TaraLynn   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Why can Obama supporters not understand that without Hillary's supporters…he will never win the White House??

McCain 08

Get Real   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

WE don't want anyone for president who will not stand by what they signed up for. We don't want a president who lies to us several times on something that really didn't even matter then just laughs it off on Jay Leno. We don't want a president who will not accept the rules of engagement. We don't want a president who cannot be financially responsible. In short, we don't want you Hillary.

As for my contributions to Obama's campaign, I'm sure hoping they have just about been spent. I would be furious if even one red cent went to your excessive, oppulent, extravagent zoo called your campaign.

Trisha   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

My gosh……To all the "I won't vote for him….I won't vote for her" you sound like spoiled children! I am an Obama supporter, but a Democrat first and foremost. My vote stands for the values and platforms that this great party was built upon. Perhaps you stay at homers and pouters should form your own party…I wish you luck!
As for Geraldine….perhaps you should be the Mommie Dearest to these naughty stay at homers!

Zion   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

Senator Byrd is a card carrying member of the KKK, check it out. This is not just me shotting off at the mouth. Remember the roots of the Democratic party, segregation, socialism, and racism. SOME OF THE SUPPORTERS NOT ALL that Hillary has recently attracted support those old historical views. Vote McCain in, Obama can afford his tax cuts and relief for the rich. Can some of you delusional people? PS. Hillary is making white feminist look really weak right now.

bernice   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

In other words Hillary supporters — keep sending her your hard earned $$$ so she can get rid of some of her debt!

JimmieJ.   May 19th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

She's right! I wish the media would stop projecting in advance of knowing the final outcome. This is the most sexist & racist nomination I have ever seen. CNN has the most biased reporting I have ever heard. I bet they say OBAMA several thousand times a day, but very little about Clinton. I guess they are trying to use power of suggestion. If she doesn't get on the ticket in one way or the other I will not vote Democrat this year.

ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

do we LEAVE OUT two states that voted for Hillary…….COUNT ALL THE STATES

R. Squibbs   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

We've had eight years of a president who lies whenever it's convenient, who stubbornly refuses to face facts, who changes rules when they don't favor him, and who often seems downright delusional.

Do we really need another one just like him?

If you were smart...   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Obama isn't even saying "it's over" as he does not want to lose half of the democratic base's support by criticizing her. Many of you are making his job more difficult going into the fall…

Please do not insult Hillary or her supporters. We need to stick together. The remaining states have the right to be heard.

James Hogan   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I dont understand when a person draws a 75,000 people crowd you can still say your going to continue a dead campaign. Theres not point clinton drop out for tha greatness of this party and lets focus on Out of touch with reality McCain and the Dumpulicans

Eugene, Oregon   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Good for Clinton. We Americans don't like quitters. Go to the convention and give it back the meaning it used to have when candidates were routinely chosen there.

JA Cook   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Women who do not back Hillary are traitors!

Anyone else who is not backing Hillary is a sexist!!

If she doesn't get the nomination, vote for McCain and help diminish women's rights in order to punish the Democrats who failed to support Hillary!!

Mashimiro   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I respect women fighters. But there is time and place you pick a fight. I have been a feminist all my life. If a woman decides to vote for Hillary, and not for O'bama for no other valid reason other than the fact that Hillary is a woman, and if a democratic woman would rather vote for McCain rather than Obama, she fails to see the bigger picture (the need to stop Republican control, and the need to bring the country back onto the right track). It's sad to see that with feminism in heart, which is a good thing, some women fail to make the right choice for the good of the country (not just women). It's sad that after so many years, many of us are still narrow-minded and near sighted.

R Garcia   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

All that sniper fire really made her go crazy. This lady has changed her campaign slogan 11 times, and spent all of the money that "hard working" americans gave her, and they still want her to be nominated? I find that hard to believe. The more Hillary opens her mouth, the more support she loses. She's a spin doctor, and can spin away, but the truth, lies in numbers, and they've been pretty much the same since Feb. 5. I've supported Obama since he began running, and I would've supported Hillary if she won, even though I despise her, I'll take the lesser evil and keep my responsibility to the Democrats and American people. Hillary supporters, if you're truly Democratic, you know Obama's a good pick, it just wasn't Hillary's time. I expect your support to go to Obama, once Hillary endorses him.

A rational human being   May 19th, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I can't understand why her supporters don't see through her blatantly transparent attempts to fiddle with the numbers until they end up in her favor.

The further she presses on, the more pathetic she becomes.

AMB   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

It's sad to see such a great competitor so delusional about her chances. The Clinton dynasty is over and now it's time for "change", the kind that Barack is proposing.

The best poliliticians know when it's time to bow out and when it's time to do so graciously and gracefully. She will be remembered by history by how she chooses to end this campaign–graceful and gracious, or deluded and resentful.

Jason, Texas   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

wow. she just won't go away. she is being so irrational it isn't even funny anymore.

Me   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Oh my God! Hillary, have you no shame? This is turning into a circus….The concert is over people have left the stadium, stop playing that music!!!!!!
Stop all the non-sense talk and come over to the Obama's camp, we need your support to win the Presidency in November.

Nutcase   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

She's loose again! Send the men in white coats.

I get a kick out of watching her make a fool of herself. Just as well, McCain would have had a field day running against her. No more bobble head Hillary, CNN.

YR   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

I just can't believe the DNC is going to give up their chance to take the White House by nominating an unelectable candidate. McCain will walk in no problem. You want a win in November? Make it a Hillary/Obama ticket. Nothing else will get the democrats the WH.

KC   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

If Obama chooses Sebelius, I'm voting republican. Has anyone heard of that board game her son has developed. It's called "don't drop the soap" and it's clearly very racial and stereotypical. No Obama, stay away from Sebilius.

Jackson   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

if McCain wins this election he can heartily thank the DNC … and MoveOn.org … and that is the truth. Hillary Clinton is the best candidate the Dems have had in years.

paul Christian   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Good for you Hillary. I still don't have the slightest idea what Obama is about. All I see is bad news coming out of him. Just look who is supporting him in the Muslim world. I'm going for Hillary.

Kris from AZ   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Seems like every state she goes to she is saying she cant make with without that state. Now she is claiming she is the popular vote. NOTHING BUT WORD PLAY TO GET VOTES. She is playing you Kentucky.

Hillary 4 President!   May 19th, 2008 3:21 pm ET

To: Oh Boy…

I'd rather stay home than vote for BHO! AND, after he loses and you all cast blame on HRC and us–take a good long look at why he lost–not only b/c of his record, but demographics and all the nasty stuff you all have said in blogs, the media and what other politicians have said. You will have helped him lose!! You cannot expect to go around bad mouthing people then expect them to support you. And , you people are the "educated" ones. The heck with the Dem Party, no I have to be true to myself before I go off and vote for someone I don't believe in. That would be like marrying a man I don't love!

Aaron F   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Actually, this is very close to over.

Mohammad, Los Angeles CA   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

She needs to grow up. Honestly. Even Huckabee wasn't such a pain in the butt. Just bow out with some shred of dignity, Hillary, before its too late.

And what is up with Geralidine Ferrarro? What an animal that woman is, to actually publicy say she won't vote for Obama..is she actually a democrat?? GROW UP CLINTON SUPPORTERS.

women for a woman president   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Hillary, get alife.. it is over sweetie…..just watch her hand the election over to McCain………

IAMWMD   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

The viper tries to spin the numbers once again. Take your pants suit to the cleaners and get ready for your court date in California while the true Democrats are at the convention.

jr   May 19th, 2008 3:20 pm ET

Has anyone told her that they are not counting electoral votes in the primaries? I understand her point but please, Senator Byrd formerly of the white sheet possee has now endorsed Obama. Is she the only one out there that does not realize he is going to be the nominee regardless of her arguement?

“The states I’ve won total 300 electoral votes,” she said, explaining that 270 electoral votes are needed to win in November .

When she compares states she's won to states he's won she doesn't take in to account that states like Calif and NY that she won he will also win in the GE. Her math and her logic are extremely one sided. She has put the goal post in so many places I think even she has lost sight of it.

Derek   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Please stop! Hillary please stop for the future of this country!

EC   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I hope Obama is a civilized soul brother and he will support Hillary for the presidency of the USA. We really know nothing about Obama, except that he can really give a great speech, and can set for years and listen to the hateful word of the good doctor the Rev. J. Wright.

Bri in Charlottesville, VA   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Desperation…she's smelling that victory right around the corner and she's grasping at straws…changing her viewpoint on votes she didn't want when she thought she didn't need them earlier in the election…but just because Hillary lost, doesn't mean that we Democrats have to hand the presidency over to the GOP…no matter who wins the nomination, a Democrat needs to be President. Things are bad now and they are only going to get worse unless we vote a Democrat into office. Change in 08!!

*Obama 08*

HILLARY OR MCCAIN   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

If we are going by the DNC RULES, then superdelegates won't cast their vote until the convention in August.

Hillary! Take it to the convention!

You are winning the states that need to be won! The little red states cannot get a person elected. Democrats are out numbered two-to-one in those states.

Wake up democrats!

NKC   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Let's face it Hillary is the best candidate for the job. There were way to many votes cast in Florida and Michigan for the DNC to turn their backs on those two states. Do the right thing. HILLARY 08!

Amira (Ex clinton supporter)   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary, please drop it already. People are starting to think you are crazy. You keep making your own numbers up and you keep telling lies that are ludacris.

The only thing you are popular in is telling lies and being married to Bill.

I use to be on your side, but you have shown your true colors in this election season and I really don't like it.

You are fake!! I am not sure if this is the real you or not!!

OBAMA FOR PRES 08

Betty, Nevada   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Huckabee put out the idea of someone pointing a gun at Obama.
Not a good idea in a country that has shot 2 Presidents just in my lifetime and a few more before that—-look at the list—Lincoln, McKinley, Kennedy, Reagan plus you can add on Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy to get a better picture.

Frank, Missouri   May 19th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

It's over. Simple as that.

rachel   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Finish the primaries Hillary. You deserve to finish and not be pushed out.

RT   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

When are people going to realize that she is constantly lying to them all the time? Saying she has the popular vote is just a plain old, bold-face lie. Just like sniper fire, just like Mark Penn, just like Nafta, just like the vast right wing conspiracy to set her husband up in the Lewinsky affair. Sorry Hillary, but Florida and Michigan will be seated, but not the way they stand right now. They weren't contested fairly. Did you know she also doesn't count any uncommitted vote in MI for Obama or any of the Caucus states? She simply makes up math that is convenient for her and then tells everyone she is winning. The most shocking thing of all is that millions of you still beleive what this person says and blindly follow her like lambs to the slaughter. I am disappointed in some of my fellow Americans. Misled so easily. Spoonfed lies without checking facts or backgrounds.

sacto joe   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

When Senator Obama wins an undisputed majority of the pledged delegates, he has a right to make the point. You can bet that if the shoe were on the other foot, Senator Clinton would make a FAR larger deal of it – look what she made out of a dinky West Virginia win!

And I don't believe Senator Obama has ever said the vote shouldn't be completed. It's typical politics that Senator Clinton is attempting to tar him with that brush.

Senator Obama has always treated Senator Clinton with respect. Sadly, the reverse is far from true….

D R   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Hillary stick a cork in it! Start helping your party, not hurting them..

harvey in va   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Please take it all the way to the convention::: Obama is already claiming to be the nominee….how rude the contest is not even over

Shelby   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

2,026 is the number!!!! you agreed to it and if you were ahead you would say that number is valid. STOP CHANGING THE RULES JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE LOSING!!!!!!

P.S. right on MP-PENN, you are soooo right!!!!!

Brazza Man   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Give an E for effort. But unity is the name of the game, Hillary, so please end this after Tuesday's primaries and start concentrating on the Fall campaign to support Barack Obama.

Hannity, Limbaugh, O'reilly et als. savor this type of talk — and it continues to cost you time, effort and MONEY.

Noclinton   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

There she goes again, trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. First by arguing that the popular vote should be counted by excluding caucus states, and by including Michigan and Florida, but without crediting Obama for the 45% of people who voted "uncommitted" in Michigan, which is fuzzy math no matter how you slice it. And now by trying to convince people that the goalpost is at 2,210 delegates instead of the 2,026 that everyone else recognizes. All she's doing is undermining her own credibility here.

Also, why has CNN stopped reporting on new superdelegate endorsements? It used to be that every time one broke for Clinton, there'd be a new story posted. Now several are breaking for Obama every day, but it's not being mentioned anywhere. If I didn't know any better, I'd say CNN was intentionally trying to make things look more competitive for Clinton than they really are. Everyone except Hillary knows the race is over, so CNN should stop pretending otherwise.

California Girl   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

When Ted Kennedy was running for President, he took it to the convention and he was behind 700 delegates.

It's the American way, it ain't over till the Convention. We will all unite at the Convention.

Obama supporters be patient and dont' count your eggs before they hatch!

Hillary 08

jeff   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Everything she wins is important. Everything Obama wins is nice but doesn't matter. She flat out lies when she says there was low voter turnout in the caucus states. She lies when she says she is ahead in the popular vote. Bill has been banished from campaigning. Please stop campaigning. We understand how much energy and time and money you have spent, but just stop. Go collect another $109 million next year like you did last year and pretend you relate to people who make $25,000 a year.

Jackson   May 19th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Terry   May 19th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Even though I voted for Clinton in my state's primary, the words "nowhere near over" doesn't sound good. I'm hoping this can be wrapped up soon. Unlike a lot of Hillary voters that said they'd rather vote for McCain instead, I'm ready to back up whoever gets the Dem nomination. I think she's running out of time and options.

Dems '08

Jason   May 19th, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Let´s start adding the words "in my head" to everything that Hillary says like you can do with "in bed" with the Chinese fortunes. It works like this:

"This race is far from over" . . . IN MY HEAD.

"I am winning the popular vote" IN MY HEAD.

Try it. There are infinite possibilities with this new version of the Bush "truth stretching machine" on the campaign trail.

You will just continue to offend states and try to re-do the math!

The more negative you get – the better Obama looks!

Paul In Seattle   May 19th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

It's sad that people are threatening to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't gain the nomination. This is both immature and irresponsible. It's also too bad that Hillary keeps this thing going with the false hope of winning. But on the positive side, it's helping the Democratic Party by brining in many new voters and energizing the nation to get involved with the political process. I'd like a story to focus on this potential advantage of continuing this "fight" for the nomination.

Democrat '08

Debby   May 19th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

I agree with Clinton those small states have picked Presidents over the years and she is really coming out favorably with the blue collar workers by big margins. What happened to Edwards wasn't he going to campaign for Obama in these states or is it he can't taken on Clinton with the votes for his endorsee. John Edwards endorsement fell flat like his four hundred dollar haircuts. LOL

We're just getting a taste of what's going to be thrown at Obama. And this 'appeasement' tactic can't be thrown at Clinton.

Clinton is more popular. You'll see it again tomorrow.

Get Real   May 19th, 2008 3:16 pm ET

Hillary is absolutely right! It's nowhere near over….it actually is TOTALLY OVER!
It was a good try Hillary (kind of) but it really is over and you and your family and the Democratic part are paying the price for your state of denial.

This doesn't make you look strong, Senator, it makes you look delusional.

Senator Clinton seems to believe that there can be no democratic nominee until she has given her blessing. She'll have to be dragged from the convention hall kicking and screaming.

FHunter   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Oh, My! It ain't over, but Obama has a 15 point lead over her in the latest Gallup Poll. That's a 35 point swing in the past four months. Inf fact, this is over. The dinner is cooked, it's time to come to the table and join as one family.

Charlene, Henderson Nevada   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

I notice Obama has been completely MIA as far as Kentucky is concerned.
That's Barak 'it's the popular vote that counts' Obama in top form.
He's truly there for the will of the people, that is the people that will him to the nomination. See ya' in November, loser.

she read for her nursing home. Can someone help her i wll donate for her care..

Robin   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

The most important thing to remember is either one Democrat in November wins the election or we have another 4 or 8 years of Bush-McCain. Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama should bring the party together before it is too late.

tomkat   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

She must have some trick up her sleeve,

Luna Atlanta, GA   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Oh, Hillary. That says a lot about you when you'll fight for the states that didn't play by the rules to have a say. Would you be making this argument if you were ahead? I think we all know the answer there. I hate it for the voters of those states, but come November you'll have your chance. I just don't think Hillary is going to be an option. Just remember. While Hillary hoops and hollers about HOW she's going to win she's not saying a whole lot about why. To me, this seems to be a contest of vanity for her and and not actually for the change of which she is speaking. She seems to be more concerned about just beating the other guys and not as concerned about WHY she wants to win or what she plans to do should she win.

OBAMA 08!

Farrell, Houston, Tx   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

monster this is the primary it has nothing to do with the electoral vote yet. we know yr suppoters are un educated so they do buy yr lies. but educated well minded people just turn off when you speak coz what you say is out of this planet.

Rom   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

OMG !!!!
She keeps lying about the popular vote
That's contradictory, she desperately tries to include MI and FL by saying all voters should be counted but by claiming the popular vote she actually exclude caucus states such as Iowa, Maine, Nevada ….
And the worst they are some people who are listening to her
I am lost !!!, I don't really know how things work in her mind

Paul   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Clinton is crazy. Obama has a majority of the pledged delegates, a huge lead in superdelegates, and polls ahead of Hillary vs. McCain. Lay off the pipe… you surely ARE INHALING!

shamous mc   May 19th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

Since when does a contestant set the rules of the game?
The DNC says the number is 2026.
HRC herself,said multiple times, MI + FL would not count.
Now she's claiming MI entirely for herself in her new math.
I would have respect for her if she respected the game.
I bet her brothers hated playing Monopoly with her.

The more she loses, the more she talks about winning and the more the rest of her base believes her!

And well, I must say, looking at the way you deal with all theses problems, you are a great politician.

PLEASE let it go Hillary. As a 23 year old, degree-holding black man, I was one of your supporters up until midway through the campaign. I am a firm Barack Obama supporter and NOT because he is black, but because he believes in all that i believe in. But I do hope you join as the VP ticket. PLEASE bow out gracefully come June 4th.

And to those who will vote for McCain if not Hillary, you have much deeper issues to explore within yourselves. I have yet to see support behind choosing McCain over Obama. If Hillary and Obama are for the same general ideologies, why would you do a 360? That, I don't understand. I hope and pray that you all will open up and accept that your party member lost (as I would) and accept Barack Obama as your Democratic Presidential Candidate. God Bless.

Warren, Chicago   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Before Obama starts negotiating with Ahmadinejab and Kim Jong, why doesn't he test his skills with gang leaders in Chicago who have gunned down over 400 people in the last two months. And that's in his own backyard.

Rich   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

So once again the argument boils down to: "Count every state and every vote…no wait don't count THOSE ones."

Kris from AZ   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Hillary you are divisive and you are ruining the democratic party. Land the plane and start talking about unity. Please for our future is at stake. Hillary you are creating Hillarepublicans. Shame on you. Do the respectable thing.

What?   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

I would like to see her make the case that Obama could ever possibly lose California, where he now ranks higher in polls than she does. That state alone is worth 54 delegates, or more than 1/9 needed to win. Combine that with Obama's ability to take back southern strongholds like Virginia, North Carolina, or even Georgia, plus making McCain waste money and time in areas like Mississippi or Alabama, and his winning strategy is laid out for him

Charles   May 19th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

So, Hillary is winning the bigoted, uneducated, elderly woman vote. Is that something to be proud of? I wonder how she would fare up against George Wallace?

Val, Atlanta, Ga   May 19th, 2008 3:13 pm ET

Oh yeah, and she has more popular votes, if you count MI and FL, BUT not the cacuses.

Here is her quote from today…

You can declare yourself anything, but if you don't have the votes, it doesn't matter," Clinton said Monday in a satellite interview with an Oregon television station before a campaign appearance in Kentucky.

she should declare her campaign over

Baracks Plan to stop illegal immigration,"Work With Mexico". That is wright from Baracks website. Baracks small minded views to stop illegal immigrants from coming to this country.
What a racist bigot. Barack believes every illegal immigrant in this country is from Mexico. What about, Honduras,Guatemala, El Salvador, Venezuela etc… where over 35-50 percent of illegal immigrants come from.
Barack is so out of touch with the real issues.
Hispanic Americans please do your research before you vote for this bigot.

For me a person who keeps on pushing a mathematical impossibility does not psychologically fit to be a president.

Vety scarey to have her answer the phone 3.00 am

Rick in Florida   May 19th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

When they left the White House, and knew Bush was going to be the next occupant, Bill and Hillary STOLE the White House china and TOOK with them numerous official gifts that historically are left behind when a President leaves office. Acting like the carpetbaggers they are.

Doesn't ANYONE remember the continual drama and soap opera that caused the Executive Branch to be totally INEFFECTIVE for over three years??? And why would ANYONE want such petty people back in the White House, under ANY circumstances??? GO AWAY !!!!!

shelly in IL   May 19th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

As hard as you are working to get this nomination, you better work just as hard to unite the Dems come Novermber.

Wise White Guy   May 19th, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Um yeah it is but you are no where near rational. How about we treat it as a hiring decision. The hiring committee have chosen another candidate. They do not know how else to tell you that you did not get the job. They have been telling you for months and you dont seem to be able to comprehend it. Are you hoping that someone shoots the guy that got the job instead of you so you can walk in and get it. I have news for you. Even if that did happen you would not be the candidate becasue you have Paul V Clinton (and a prison sentence coming) hanging over your head. You may have gotten a judge to say you can keep it hushed until after November but I know about it so many others do too.

The Swami has also had a history of picking presidents. It's over for Hillary. She should quit now to save herself from the poor house.

Al   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

What a shame. She had voted for Iraq war and has no any moral authority even to be in this race.

Obama 2008

Michael, North Carolina   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Sen. Obama is a man that has inspired millions of Americans to come out and support his campaign. Sen. Clinton has done nothing but pander to the American people, and lie about things she knows will not do the American people any good. Sen. Clinton needs to STOP BEING A SORE LOSER AND FACE REALITY, THAT THIS PRESIDENTAL RACE IS OVER FOR HER, AND THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED. Sen. Barack Obama is the new heavyweight champion of the world. Sen. Obama will RULE THE WORLD.

YES WE CAN
OBAMA/CASEY '08

voter in AR   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Hillary has her "smart" hat on…

She knows that the sooner she drops out of the race, the more HRC supporters who will crossover to McCain. She's keeping ALOT of people on the democratic train by continuing with her campaign. Once we get the whole DNC involved in ONE campaign, the differences in the Dem and Repub candidates will be obvious even to the most casual voter.

(That actually rhymed! McCain, Train, Campaign! lol)

And I just wanted to say that to see many Older white folks(Byrd), (that may have been on the "wrong" side in the past or just apathetic), support a young senator of mixed race as the leader of these Great USA… brings a tear to my eye!

Our country is the greatest! We aren't always the first, when it comes to social issues, but we are the BEST once we catch on!

CHANGE? Get 'er done? YES WE CAN! OBAMA '08!

Scott ATL   May 19th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Where exactly is "Over" then??? It must be near Whoooo ville! That's why no one can hear Hillary except Horton!!! lol If you have any 5 year old children you may understand what I'm saying…lol

Hillary, let it goooooooo.

Thomas   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

“The states I’ve won total 300 electoral votes,” she said, explaining that 270 electoral votes are needed to win in November and that many of the states Obama has won will go for John McCain then .

THATS WHY Clinton would win, and Obama will struggle, he might get more votes like Gore but oh no not enough electoral votes…

Helen   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

WRONG AGAIN HILLARY.

THE FAT LADY IS SINGING…AND THE FORK HAS BEEN PULLED OUT SAYING YOUR "DONE"

Obama 08″

(see why she can't be on the ticket with Barack)

senj   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

You are perfectly right ma'am it is not over today, tomorrow or the next because it was already over about 2 weeks ago. I understand that FL amd MI matters to you since you are losing but ma'am where was your judgement whne you agreed and signed to the DNC's proposal, where was your judgement?

Dylan   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Um, Hillary…

Have you seen today's poll numbers?

It's actually VERY NEAR over.

J. Sully, New York   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Hillary stop the BS!!! We know Obama is the winner.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   May 19th, 2008 3:09 pm ET

Be nice Hillary keep it nice, I almost wanted you to be a V.P. , just be cool to the end.

James   May 19th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Hillary says that about all the states that she campaigns in and all the states that she has won.

Dr. Sam   May 19th, 2008 3:08 pm ET

CLINTON CONTINUES TO MARCH TO A DIFFERENT DRUMER but delegates and national polls continue to go Obama's way. Today's big endorsement comes form SEN. BYRD of West Virginia. This is big news because Sen. Byrd is an elder statesman and Dean of the Senate! His choice of words–and he chooses his words carefully–is in the superlative. He called Obama a patriot, Christian, honorable, and more! The next question for me, and for most people who want real progress and change, is who will be his running mate should he win the nomination. I put forward to all bloggers the following thoughts. OBAMA SHOULD NEVER CHOOSE HILLAY FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, nor should anyone pressure him to. I came across a piece in the Toronto Sun (check with any good library) on this issues that I consider the best I have ever read. Please get it and read it if you can! The article is titled "Hillary no mate for Obama: Loyalty is first quality of a presidential candidate seeks in a vice-president," by Lisa Van Dusen, Toronto Sun, May 18, 2008. Lisa argues that such a choice would guarantee a lost for Obama in November (and Republicans would love it) since it undercuts his sterling message about new and old politics, lobbyists, etc. Furthermore, the Clintons will never be truly loyal to Obama. On the other hand, they would spent their time in the Vice-Presidential mansion plotting his downfall or demise in the hope of taking over or plotting for Hillary's next run for the job. Let him who has ear hear!

I was at the Obama "thing" in Portland, I was not there for Obama I was there for Bruce!! More and More Oregon Voters are going to Hillary after seeing Obamas ads on TV they are lame!

Jos/TN   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Senator Clinton is a sore loser, by all standards.

BHO   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

I hope Clinton is a civilized soul and she will support Obama for the presidency of USA. She is a fighter and she know how to mend relations with others.

Berat, Park Ridge, IL   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

"People don't get elected president without winning Kentucky."

Sounds like, "Nobody wins the White House without winning West Virginia."

What about Oregon? What about North Carolina? What about Kansas? What about Iowa?

And why is it that the only states that count are the ones Hillary Clinton wins?

Obama Supporter, but anybody but McCain 08!   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Hillary, are you dyslexic? The number is 2,026

mjc   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

OBAMA SUPPORTER   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

MP-Pennsylvania   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Chuck;

You said all what I wanted to say

Chuck, Democrats United We Stand May 19th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

Your right, if Obama was a "WHITE" man, he would have already won and sewed this nomination up. Why, it's his message, it is his stand, it is the way he runs his campaign, and lastly it is the simple fact, that he has done a great job of not going completely hostile and negative against Hillary. Although they have both been somewhat hostile and negative towards each other he has done a great job of staying away from politics of the old. One last comment, had he been white, Obama could have tossed the same crap at Hillary as she did at him and gotten away with it. The fact that he is not white has been a hinderance, the white america would not accept a none white going negative and mean spirited at a white woman. That is the sad but honest truth. My hat is off to this man, for what he has accomplished.

maya   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

If Ted Kennedy could be so far behind in the delegate count and still take it to the convention- why should Hillary drop out?!

Neither Obama nor Hillary has enough delegates to secure the nomination. Like Obama called Indiana a "virtual tie"- so is this nomination.

Like Lou Dobbs said- stop the "softball journalism"- this is a brokered nomination. A virtual tie. Hillary deserves to stay in and make her case and we support her!

Adam from NY   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

C'mon superdelegates!

OBAMA 08   May 19th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

It's over . . . "sweetie"

Obama/Sebilius 08 &12

shelly in IL   May 19th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

OMG,

Uncle Sam   May 19th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

As Kentucky goes, so goes the nation………for Sen. McCain!

Americans for McCain '08

Oh Boy...   May 19th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

STOP LYING!!!!

Clinton supporters: We love you, but you've gotta make a choice soon — to support the Democratic nominee, or to support a third term of George W. Bush. You all know what the right thing to do is. Even if Senator Clinton won't do the right thing, I truly believe we can count on you folks.

Willy   May 19th, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Keep going Hillary. The layer's of Obama's onion are peeling off fast!
