Even though many Clinton voters say they will never vote for Obama, many will come around to him. (I actually voted for him in the primary) People often ask why and how. I tell them that before Super Tuesday I was undecided and leaned toward Clinton, but there was something about Barack Obama that as a young person, you couldn't resist. After super tuesday, he lost his luster in my eyes. I am really trying to find a reason to support Obama in the fall, but the negatives keep coming out in my eyes....maybe a VP choice will push me over the edge Thoughts?

Just because he holds the lead in delegates, superdelegates, states won, popular vote and is 60 delegates away from the nomination is no reason to overstep his bounds. Do we really want such a far-thinking man as our President? What arrogance from Obama!

I didnt support her, but we need HER support. I just wish she stopped campaigning so he could make the offer. One has to respect the millions of voters who would like to see her in the new administration. And the Clinton years were'nt so bad after all. What we do have to do is to make sure that our leader delivers CHANGE and thats why we elected Barack Obama. I hope he picks Hillary. I didnt support her, but we need HER support.

I believe it was the Clinton camp using rove to explain why they should be the nominee... Do you not read the news? I am from Va and I think Webb would be an amazing choice. I fear a Hillary presidency, so I pray twice a day for the lord to deliver Obama to the white house. Clinton is manipulative, deceitful, and focused only on herself. She doesn't really care about anything unless it gets her where she wants... I still find it funny she pushes her "lead" in the popular vote by saying EVERY VOTE COUNTS when she is in fact omitting caucuses.... So again, every vote counts as long as it makes her look good. I am truly saddened Americans are supporting her and it makes me sad to be a citizen of this great nation when i see the number of people feed on her lies and corruption. ANYONE BUT HILLARY. I am scared of her, but I am not of McCain. I think SHE will start WW3.... SHE will be the end of who we are. If Obama is not the nominee, then my money and support go to McCain.

If Hillary thinks she's going to win, she should start thinking about that, too. Only 2 months to the convention, you know. Chuck R - whats left to count? by the time June rolls around, Obama will have enough delegates to have clinched the nomination. I'm not being arrogant just stating fact. With Edwards getting 15% of the vote in Florida and those delegates would likely go to Obama, we'd be looking at a near 50-50 split (50-48 for Hillary, to be exact). Even if she got all of her delegates in MI and Obama didnt get any (which I doubt anyone would see as fair), she would be 90 or so delegates short with 86 left in play. I understand many have a deep connection with Hillary. I would be happy with either candidate but the facts are that she will be short on delegates. So, most Hillary supporters are going to have to do some soul searching. Will you vote for a candidated that shares (for the most part) your candidates ideals, or will you vote for the polar opposite and put your personal pride over your country's future?
