CNN

Those who say that Hillary Clinton should be vice president don't get it. It's not about who wins which factions or even about who can help win particular states. Obama represents a new great hope for America. Obama will help us to regain our respect in the world again. Obama will forge new alliances and completely change the old bitter bickering of the "red" states versus the "blue" states. Putting someone like Hillary Clinton into the ticket would negate all of the virtues with the old "slash and burn" "win at any cost" "politics of personal destruction" that she practices and represents. Is she a fighter? Yes. That's the point. It's time for a new approach. We have to stop the fighting. We have to heal the nation. I hope the rest of the superdelegates will see this and see that "all we are saying is give peace a chance."

Two more. Better late than ever. Super delegates pls listen to our cries. Your holding back is giving HRC some false sense of hope which in turn is making her have initially delusional thinking process and now murderous thinking process. Pls come out and give your support to the apparent nominee so she can come back to reality. I may not support her anymore now but neither do I want to see her committed for either suicidal or homicidal attempt.

Listen up Democrats

I was reading an Irish editorial and what about this if Hillary is not nominated, as suggested in the posting, a McCain Presidency with a super Democrat showing in the House and Senate. Others see our election process as putting in an unknown Obama, a high risk factor due to his lack of experience. What we must do if the nomination is denied Hillary is to be sure and vote in Democrats to both houses of Congress. Do vote this November with that in mind. Do not stay home. In my state, Virginia I will be voting for Mark Warner. This idea makes great sense.

So What about Hillary???

By the way
How come Hillary's remarks on Bobby Kenendy was not in ticker earlier. CNN is still Protecting Hillary…..

The move is on...

It is a FACT that Hillary supporters will not support Obama in the general election in November IF he is the nominee. This is a sincere movement that has already started through emails and websites. Clintons supporters that have already committed to this is at 50% so far.

Sorry Obots. We want EXPERIENCE in a crazy world like this. George Bush had no experience and look what we got! We view Obama just like we view Bush. Don't take it personal. It is what it is.

You will all get over it after McCain wins the election.

Hillary 12'

ARREST HILLARY CLINTON NOW!

HILLARY HAS PLANTED THE SEEDS FOR OBAMA'S DEMISE AND SHE SHOULD BE ARRESTED NOW!

AN IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BE IN PROCESS FOR HER SENATE SEAT! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT TOLORATE THIS ONGOING SLANDER AND SEEDS WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS.

ARREST HILLARY NOW!

To enomisa and greenfun.....you seem to write more than the average joe....! Are you guys working for your respective candidates? There is only one thing to say ..your pick is also doing the same stupid things..!

This is boring and complely non-productive. Let's get on with the GE already.

2 measley delegates! Not even super!

CNN, one point down in my book. Don't worry you still have 1969/2026 necessary to be the best new website in the wold.

Jana - the NY governor backs Hillary. Younger Jews have voted for Obama. Mike - it's Hillary's health care proposal that makes adult coverage mandatory. I realize that losing hurts, and that there are many sore feelings, but the facts are the facts, and the numbers are the numbers. Do keep in mind that HRC herself approved of the decision not to seat Michigan and Florida; go to the mirror, look yourself in the eye, and ask whether Hillary would ask for them to be seated if MI and FL had gone to Obama.

I hope, I have hope, just not blind hope. My very real reservations surrounding Sen Obama have not been adequately met. While anyone can change and have differing views from their family, the facts that Sen Obama's father worked with a radical Muslim military, that Sen Obama himself went to a radical Muslin school, not Muslim but radical Muslim – a world of difference, that Sen Obama chose a Christian Church led by Rev White and then spent 20 years attending his sermons, raises questions. Now, if I don't agree with my church I find a different church, but Rev Wright is Sen Obama's mentor, (you hear the oratory influence in sen Obama's speaches,) and a cared for "old Uncle." A person simply does not attend a church for 20 years unless they agree with the messages that church makes. Let's add one other incidental, Sen Obama's lack to hold the greatest symbol of our land in esteem, by Not saluting the American Flag, Unthinkable in the President of the United States of America! Adding an American Flag pin on his lapel has not resolved the issue for me. There are questions of intent that come up when these pieces are put together. Actions speak louder that words alone. Further, would Hillary have been allowed to Not salute the American Flag? Why then, is it okay for Barack? There really are double standards for men and women, with women holding the short end of the stick time and again. It is okay to have a woman doing the hard job, as in- "we'll keep Hillary just, not as the front runner," and so the rewards go to the man.
The people and super delegates, of this nation can enjoy the discussion of who will be the next Democratic Nominee precisely because of Hillary Clinton's tireless decades of civil rights work. Just cast your self back to the 1970's and you will see how far we have come thanks to her work. She is experienced on every level of the playing field, Barack is not. He does not have the slightest inkling of International Affairs, if he thinks the American people will idly stand by as the President of the United States invites the Terrorist Leaders of the world to treat with him. Think you now upon the Radical Muslim education and family members Barack has....
I have the Audacity to Hope, just not blindly hope. While Sen. Obama is an eloquent speaker, there has not been a clear plan on exactly how to do the very serious job the incoming president will face. He is inexperienced.
This country is on the very precipice- global warming, war, famine, pandemics, economic upheaval. We must ask ourselves, "do we want pretty words or proven experience?" I, who have been a staunch democrat for 30 years, will not vote Obama for President. I will write in Hillary for President.

Drip, drip superdelegates, the bucket is half full or half empty. Welcome aboard. I am getting weary and exhausted. I saw a job opening for city council in Stuebenville, OH for Hillary. They have a position as management in finance and budget department and county executive for Bill.

Thank you!!!!!
Let's defeat John McCain!!!!
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

Do you people who Moderate accept jokes? If you dont maybe you wont print this, but laugh anyway.==A gold miner died and was refused entry in heaven because there were too many gold miners in there already.He thought about this and yelled at the top of his voice.THEY HAVE DISCOVERED GOLD IN HELL
Suddenly a horde of miners came rushing out and almost trampled Saint Peter in their anxiety to go to hell. The gold miner turned around to follow them.
Wait, cried St Peter, you can go in now.
No I dont think so he replied, there might be some truth in that rumor
This story reminds me of Hillary's followers

Somebody please stick a fork in Hillary........she's done. In fact, based on some of her comments today, I think she is over-cooked.

Please, Please, Please! Hurry this along and cut Hillary loose.

Who care about this chicken Edwards supporter. Kerry, Edwards and Obama the most flip-flopper.

This election will go down in history YES. Will be the first every oldest man or the first ever person voted in by the people writing down their name on the ballot. Yes we will. Yes we will.

HAVE THEY NO HONOR ???

Edwards would be a good running mate, but the Virginia Governors or the former Pa. Governor would be better.
Also, Clinton would have to disavow her racist approach before her support could be effective. I have had enough of Bill Clinton!

Birds of a feather. They will live to regret this decision.

It is really sad to see delegates base their sacred votes on their own self-centered needs. I believe Edwards is concerned with his own career, Sen. Kennedy with his legacy, Sen. Byrd with salving his conscious because of past mistakes. The lists goes own. After this show, the democratic party must never let a small group of superdelegates hand the nomination to whomever they want for whatever reason they want.
Sen. Clinton is by far the best prepared candidate; yet once again, the job may go to a less-qualified man. Not only that, but he's divided the party, perhaps irreparably for a long time, yet, it is the woman who will be blamed for that. Now, if he loses the nomination, it will be woman, not the candidate, who will be blamed.
We haven't come all that far.

Freida, NYC May 23rd, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Well, I guess we will have another 4 years of Republicans! Thanks to the DNC and the media for pushing Obama down our throats.

Hillary 2012-2020
-------------------------------–

Do you REALLY think that's possible? After all this drama Clinton has brought on this year, do you really think if she enters next time, she will win? This election will be remember for a loong time. Please beleive that.

I can already see the writers of "Scary Movie" including this election in the next film. LOL

McCain will wipe the floor with the dem nominee

Who cares. The Edwards endorsement didn't help him at all and it's obvious it was done to help Obama with the "white" vote, which clearly didn't matter. The SD votes don't count until August, so however many SD's that want to endorse Obama doesn't matter until the convention. They're stupid to endorse him anyway, knowing that he's going to lose. They're just making themselves look incredibly dumb.

By now the supperdeligates should have tipped the balance in favor of Obama. Because he has earned it. Why wait? Vaueable time is wasted.

Tick tock tick tock! The clock is winding down for Hillary. Obama only needs 57 delegates and/or superdelegates.

Obama/Gore '08!

Why you rush the time? Are you afraid that something could happen or That the people wake up? The time Obama reach the right number of delegates required he will be your nominee.
It is not a matter of winning the nomination; he has to be able to win in November primary.
Obama take your hands out of your packet you are not so cool.
In a race with Obama, Mccain and HILLARY, Clinton would win.
HILLARY 08 the most prepared and qualified candidate to be President
HILLARY 08

See you in Denver !!!

It is time to put an end to all of the bickering going on. Let the superdelegates stop the fight. There is no way Hillary can get the nomination without foul play. All of the creteria neccessary for winning the primary Obama has accomplished. Let him be given the chance as every other candidates have been given. Bravo to HRC for her courage to content.

it does'nt matter if the supers go against the people and nominate obama because the people will just write her in, in nov. and she will beat both obama and McCain. so all you supporters write her in and let everyone else know.

Slowly but surely, a change is gonna come.

Welcome aboard:)

Yes, please keep them coming and end this Clinton circus. OBAMA 08'

They all need to get off the pot already, before Hillary backs them into a corner with her hunting gun.

Join the best and brightest!! Catch the Obama train before it leaves.

Choo-choooooooo!

Obama 08

Shame on your report, CNN.

Welcome!

Clinton has run a great campaign, we thank her, we love her. She should continue competing hard in the remaining primaries and help ensure a fair seating of MI and FL delegates.

We need to do a good job of uniting Clinton and Obama supporters behind a single candidate. We do not yet have a nominee, but we will soon, and it is hard to envision how it is not going to be Obama.

McCain is a good man, but he has been inaccurate in his portrayal of Obama's positions, which makes me think he is not really in control of his talking points. I'm glad that McCain admits that Al Gore was right all along about global warming and that the conservative pundits on the radio and TV (Limbaugh, Hannity, etc) are idiots for their deliberate misinformation about global warming. McCain is not all bad. But we are going to vote for change in November. That means Obama.

welcome on board buddy. Way to go.

Keep um coming...it might a battle but He keeps on winning.

I would like to know why "Super Delegates" such as Gov. Richardson and the Gov. of WV are NOT voting according to the majority of the people and who have won their state? Hillary Clinton won the states and at this point have not received their votes. Isn't this against the majority voters of those states.

I think that it is time for some of the Barack Hussein "Super delegates" to switch from Obama to Clinton!

Barack Hussein lacks the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to be our next president.

Hillary Clinton has won the majority votes so far in this contest, so I believe that the media should be a bit more impartial and give Hillary Clinton the equal "positive" news coverage.

That's great but I'm more concerned with why Hillary would make the awful comments that she made earlier today. Every site is talking about it except for CNN.

FINALLY SOME RESULTS NOW BRING ON OVER THE REST AND LET'S GET THIS THING GOING TOWARDS THE GENERAL AFTER THAT LET'S GET OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE WE COULD USE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. A NEW SMELL OF THINGS COULDN'T HURT THE ATMOSPHERE JUST LIFT THE STENCH A LITTLE.

The superdelegates will ultimately decide the race anyway, because she can't win even if the Michigan and Florida delegates are seated as-is. Unfortunately the Clinton campaign has cut off it's nose to spite it's face with all that irrational crap they argue to manipulate the nomination. It's just rather sad that Hillary Clinton has resorted to bullying, threatening and/or or bluffing (whichever you choose) the Rules Committee with such desperation. Really, nobody should be expected to give up a fight that is so close, but when the writing is on the wall and the Presidency is at stake, superdelegates have no choice except to contemplate and make a decision. Maybe if Hillary had reached out to everyone, not just the two demographics that she concentrated on, she might be the front runner. Oh, she probably has suffered a little rejection because she's female, but she's nobody's victim. She put herself in the position she's in, and she can only deny this for so long.

What are the others waiting for? Hillary to say/do something even more outrageous than she already has?? Well, maybe today's remarks will lite a fire under them ...and other superdelegates!!

Welcome to the National Independent American Commons Party.

Yes, this may be the name of new Political Party started by the Clintons.

Many may find it hard to believe, can this really happen? Yes it can.

The Clintons have every reason to break away from the Democratic Party.
They have been betrayed and abandon by many Super Delegates that had supported them in the past.

Many influential Democratic Politicians are putting pressure on the Clintons to end their run for the Democratic Nomination.

The African American Voting Block has but all abandon the Clintons during the Primaries.

Yes, why should the Clintons maintain their loyalty to the Democratic Party?

Millions of Americans that have voted for Hillary will be more than willing to walk away from the Democratic Party. Many of Democratic voters are angry with the DNC, and feel
That the DNC is dysfunctional.

Well, all of this is possible, but would it be an honorable thing for the Clintons to break away from the Democratic Party?

The answer is NO. Many Americans have abandoned their Moral senses and Integrity to High Principals.

There are many critical mistakes the Clinton Campaigned made that has resulted into Hillary being behind in the Democratic Primaries.

Although it is valiant to have had a woman move forward the WOMEN agenda to have the first Woman elected into the White House. The Clinton Campaign has used every dirty trick in the book to obtain this Honorable Position in the White House.

The Clintons have been willing to:

• Break the DNC Rules that Hillary agreed to
• Inject Racism into the Primaries
• Distort the Truth
• Misrepresent the facts regarding Mr. Obama’s Faith
• Change the Rules to determine what vote should count to gain the Nomination.

Yes, all of these issues can be proven, however it will not make a difference in June. This is the Surprise the Clinton Campaign has been preparing the American people for.
They will start their own Political Party under the guise of the American people have been Disenfranchised by the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party can not be trusted to count the American people votes.

Well this is only a fictional idea, however, you have be warned. “It could come true”

You be the judge

Hillary needs to give up now and help unite the party in readiness for the GE. It seems that all the super delegates are now firmly in Obama's camp since in all likelihood HRC can't possibly beat him this late. Let all Democrats including HRC's supporters unite with Obama's so that we can have a decisive victory in November. Let's stop the animosity towards each other and work together for the good of our great nation. We can't possibly vote for McCain out of protest who is threatening to bomb other countries and does not share our views and ideals as democrats.

The race is over. Hillary needs to stop whining about FL and MI. when they broke the rules and she agreed that she understood the votes would not count. Rules are rules.There are many people in Fl and MI who didn't even vote because they knew the votes did not count. If you let them vote again that wouldn't be fair because then the other states would want a re-vote too. Obamas name wasn't even on the ballot in MI.

Hillary needs to stop acting like a sore loser and bow out with some dignity. Slick Willie, needs to come to his senses. I will never vote for either of them again, only because they are showing their true colors. I had respect for the both of them in the past. But this election shows me they are acting like little children. God doesn't like ugly and that is why they are losing. They ran such a negative campaign. This is now backfiring on them. Go Obama! You have great character and you will make a great president!

Are they both trial lawyers with $400 haircuts, just like Edwards?

Can someone PLEASE just simply name five things that Barrack Hussein Obama has done for his state or our country in the very short time he has been in public office?

Three things?

Did not think so...

Senator Obama has decieved Edwards and the rest of the superdelgates by saying that "I have the most delegates"

Senator Obama doesn't want to count delegates seated or votes counted in Florida or Michigan because he lost both states. There are over 300 delegates that would have to be seated, mostly to Clinton.

He wouldn't be able to be bragging and tooting: "I have the most pledged delegates..I am the one with the most delegates" If Florida and Michigan were seated at the beginning of this primary. Obama would have been behind the whole time.

He has fought tooth and nail not to count votes, delegates or have a new primary.Do you really want a President that doesn't stand up for you the people but instead stands up for government rules. Obama doesn't care about democracy or the people, he is thinking about Obama.

He will lose Florida's support if he doesn't let them vote and will lose the primary if he does. Without Florida, the Democrats will lose..
Obama should step down now that he has been vetted.

He is having problems with groups of voters, big problems, much worse that anyone will ever admit. He can not penetrate any of these voters, no matter who he choses to help him. People of the following group of voters are the base of the Democratic Party.

He has problems, huge problems with the following group of voters:
Florida and Michigan voters
The Jewish Voter Swing States voters
Women Voters
Older Voters
Male white voters
Catholic voters
War hero voters
Ohio, Pa, Michigan, Florida, NY, NJ, Calif, Virginia, West Virginia

I don't think think Alaska, North Dakota, Elitist and African Americans are enough. That sounds like a losing ticket to me.

Voters will run from Obama and vote for McCain if he becomes the nominee. Senator Clinton doesn’t have problems with any of these voters. She would win them all.

Please support Senator Clinton if you really want a Democrat in the White House. Obama should wait for the sake of the Democratic Pary.

They were lame then, they are lame now.

Mr and Mrs Bill Clinton, bow out gracefully while you still can before you make bigger fools of yourself. Hillary you look warn out, you put up a good fight but you and Bill should know when it is time to throw in the towel. Too bad Bill was backing you, you maybe could have gone further.
Rock on Obama!!! You are the man!!!!!!!!!!

Great, BUT the superdelegates want to take this nomination AWAY from Obama, or THEY would have ended this nonsense long ago!

THANKS YOU GUYS AND YOU TOO MR. EDWARDS.

Too little too late.

Thank God, why are they going sooooooooo dog gone slow about it? They all should just go on and endorse the Good Senator.

Great! It's about time. What is holding up the others?? Obama will be the Nominee, all of the Pundits, & Media & everyone else (except Hillary) says so. I do not want Hillary on the ticket. She represents a Washington Insider, Old Politics, Barack has based his whole campaign on a New Way of running the WH, so she does not fit that description. We want & expect real CHANGE with Barack we will have it, Hillary cannot be on that ticket. Webb, Hagel, Clark, Bloomberg, & others would be the better choice.

Obama 2008.

Hill and Bill Leave Our Country Alone.
You Have Had Enough, You Sold USA to China, India,
You Were 2 Busy W/ Girls Rather Than Going After Bin Laden.
Getting From Dubai, and the List Goes on and On.

Bush=Clinton=Mcain.

Not This Time, No More of The Same, NO MORE

This is so very disappointing. Sen. Clinton is by far the most qualified candidate and better prepared to debate Sen. McCain. She has served the people and they've turned their backs on her. McCain will wipe up the floor with Sen. Obama and the Democrats only have themselves to blame for the lost opportunity to save this country.

Obama has been treated by the media and young people as if he were some sort of rock star. He reads a teleprompter well but fell on his face in every debate. Not ready for prime time. I could cry when I think of 4 more years of McBush.

only one article on clinton,right now,and its about her exit strategy.finally,cnn is reporting relevant news.

Washington, DC- Two veterans of investigations into Communist influence on the U.S. political process will hold a briefing on Capitol Hill to release two new explosive reports on Barack Obama’s ties with extreme anti-American elements, including agents of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA. The reports will shed important new light on Barack Obama’s mysterious past.

LET THEM GO, LET THEM ALL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILLARY IS TOO GOOD FOR THEIR SLIMY EGG-SUCKING SUPPORT ANYWAY. IT JUST SHOWS WHAT FAIR WEATHER SUPPORTERS THEY ARE. WHEN OBAMA STARTS CRUMBLING THEY WILL JUMP SHIP AGAIN LIKE THE RATS THEY ARE.

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Way to go and is about time. Hilary I'll be one of your superdelegate in 2016.

The Clintons are planning on Breaking away from the Democratic Party.

Just wait and see

I believe also the governor of New York switched to Obama after saying that Clinton is desparate. Those words came from a blind black man who pretends to be a supporter of Clinton. We have seen time and again blacks vote 99% for Obama why would anyone believe this man supports Clinton? Such words increasingly anger Clinton's supporters and that is the same reason they will vote McCain in November

As time goes on, it becomes increasingly obvious as to the outcome of this primary. Enough about changing the rules every week to suit a losing campaign. Those who would not vote for Obama because Hillary loses most likely voted for Bush. I do appreciate women who will be disapointed because a woman is not the nominee. My decision to support Obama was not based on gender, but rather on behavior during the campaign. The barrier has been broken an dc I am certain we will have a woman for President in the future. But right now, please look at the options. Do you really think John McCain will respesent your interests better?

Hillary & Co. can't handle the truth.
Just like she can't tell the truth.
Go away Clintons.

I pray that the rest of the superdelegates will come on board so we can start dealing with the real issues instead of the Clinton's changing the rules to suit themselves as well as the lies excuse me I
mean the mis spoke works. How could I forget.

Doesn't really matter. Even if obama gets the nomination he and his supporters have turned off enough HRC supporters and moderate Dems that we will never vote FOR him and many of us WILL vote for McCain because that way our country won't turn socialist under a left wing radical and a Dem Congress. I believe that we will be much better off under a Republican president who has to deal with a Democrat Congress. Especially since cooler heads on the Democrat side have been able to compromise and work with Senator McCain in the past.

Nobamprah!!!!!
No condescending arrogant lying hypocrite racists!!!

Anyone but obama!!!!

If we have to have an African-american to appease the racist element let it be someone respectable who has the courage of their convictions...someone like Stephanie Tubbs Jones but NEVER oprama NEVER!!!

go obama

The Obama camp and the DNC are getting desperate.

They can not seem to push this primary firmly into his corner.

Not enough advantages and props to hold up this puppet.

He will fall like the house of race-cards that he created.

Its over. Done

Hillary, its time to bow out!

Talk about desperation.

Nothing they do will push this weakling over the top.

No one wants Obama any more.

His flaws and weaknesses and his lack of qualifications will keep him out of the white house.

Bravo!!!

Obama has always needed all the help he can get.

He keeps getting propped up- Oprah, the Kennedys, the Shrivers, the Kerrys, the rock stars, the flawed caucus, the disenfranchised Fl and Mi voters, the drooling adoring biased media, the Democratic defectors that went against their state votes, now all the superdelegates.

Oddly enough, the seesaw remains about even and balanced between Hill and Barack. Means her merits continue to outweigh the effect of all the gang piling onto his side.

Hillary Clinton is the only one to lead this country.

They made the right choice.Keep them coming.

"Obama currently has 1,969 delegates to Clinton's 1,779 in CNN's official count."

56 to go, baby!!!

Obama '08!!

Great! Welcome aboard the Obama Express!

YES WE CAN!

Why is no one asking the question we are all thinking: Is Hillary purposely staying in to ruin Obama's chances in 2008 so that she can run in 2012 on the "I told you so" platform.

Obama is proving to be a big flip flopper.

I doubt that all the superdelegates in the Party can prop up this weak candidate.

The voters won't buy the hype.

Obviously they have been drinking the koolaid, those crazy mindless Obamabots. They would have known better if just they were poorly educated bitter old feminists living in trailers in West Virginia.

Clinton / Lewinsky '08

The super delegates betray their own purpose which is to vote for the BEST candidate when the voters are deadlocked. There is no need for superdelegates if they simply echo the popular vote.

Obama was the early leader, but he is weaker and weaker at the end. Clinton waged a bad campaign but still held her own and is stronger at the end.

So the choice is easy. But the party will appease the youth and the African Americans.

They choose to pander and will lose in Nov.

That is the price to pay for appeasement. it never works to cave in to the threats of vocal segments of the party.

The silent majority will still speak with their votes.

57 more delegates to the finish line

Obama needs to be careful not to change his message. I'm very concerned of him backing off his message yesterday of negotiating with our enemies and disagreeing with Carter. If you do that many of your supporters will leave you.
We like you Obama because of what you said

Obama less than 60 delegates away from the nomination, but yet we still hear how Hillary is the people's choice.
Can anyone from the Hillary camp rectify this apparent disconnect?

The democratic party is doomed.

Clearly divided between moderate centrists and elitist left wing radicals.

Most Lifelong democrats will make the decision to leave this bankrupt party after the fiasco of this primary.

We will vote our conscience in Nov- either for McCain or write in Hillary Clinton.

Under no circumstances will we go with the puppet Obama. THIS is not a third world country where fixed elections are acceptable.

Better for Hillary...why would she want a delegate who originally supported a loser and now another loser.

Let see first I supported John Edwards (no longer in the race)
and now a man who is against Florida and Michigan being re-counted because he then would see who really has the popular vote.

I'll give up those losed super-delegates any day.

I've been thinking about the disparity between the number of Clinton supporters who won't support Obama vs the other way around. I think everyone realizes the need for unity in the end, if this election is not to go to McCain. With things looking fairly certain for Obama, it's easier for his supporters to focus on the need for unity, which leads to more people saying they'd vote for Clinton if she won. For Clinton supporters, the best hope at this point is her electability argument. Therefore it is in their best interest to say they won't vote for Obama in order to give this argument as much credence as possible.

Welcome aboard......you have made a wise decision......Obama is the only one running who is capable of leading America into this new century. OBAMA2008

Great 57 more to go. Obama train – choo choo

and where is New Mexico's TOM UDALL????

Forget HRC. DO NOT offer her the VP position. She has done all she can to make you appear weak. You will NOT be able to counter republican attacks on the subject. She'll make you look like a fool! You don't need her to get "blue collar votes". And, if women would rather not vote or vote for McCain, fine. We'll see how they feel when Roe v Wade is overturned!

Go get JIM WEBB to be your VP. HE WILL BRING YOU "BLUE COLLAR VOTES", REPUBLICAN VOTES, INDEPENDENT VOTES, AND MILITARY/VETERAN VOTES (not to mention really get under McCain's skin)!!!

Hillary is yesterday's news because of her unprofessional behavior. Not because she's a woman. She'll never get the votes of a united party. EVER. She's trying to bring you down with her...

The Obama campaign has played the 2000 Republican tactics all along and Obama knows it and he will ride on it till he will make a decision. Then we will see real Obama and his electability and the leadership by how he handles things to come.

America's legitimate candidate choice would have been Hillary and McCain if the DNC didn't stop all this information about Obama to come out. I've thought about this from day one people are going to vote on principles before issues, differences of opinions and the party line.

Surely your vote is worth more than a wasted choice made out of spite and anger, or even worse by personal prejudices that have wounded, pained and divided Americans for so many years.

I know you are disappointed that Hillary is losing this election and I appreciate that you are hurting right now. I know that politics is a cruel game, especially this year where emotions are involved. Please take your time to grieve, but this time, it is far too important to make sure that you do not waste your vote because of selfish reasons or personal disappointments. When the pain of Hillary’s loss has dulled a little bit, please take another objective look at Obama, and you will be surprised that there are a lot of things about him that would appeal to you.

Hillary will surely work with Obama to make some of her vision into reality and that has a better chance of happening than with McCain. Please help unite the party and help America and the rest of the world by helping to elect Obama as president.

Thank you

Thank God! So much closer to getting this thing over and done!!

FULL SPEED TO THE WHITEHOUSE!! ,leaving hillary in the dust

Of course. They all have political futures to secure. Who cares about the American people!!!!

She is not losing because she is a woman (I’m a woman and many women and feminists support Obama), because of the DNC (whose members have overwhelmingly endorsed her and have a great relationship with her), because of ignorant young college students (being young does not equate ignorance and Obama has a wide range of supporters other than students), because of the biased media (both Obama and Clinton have had their share of good or bad press and that’s the reality), because of party elites ‘stealing the election from her’ (she was the party leaders’ darling as shown by their endorsements), and she is not losing because Florida and Michigan votes have been ‘stolen’ from her and the falsehood that Obama has prevented these votes from being counted.

Clinton would still be losing even if Florida and Michigan are counted. She agreed to the rules that these states should not be counted until she started losing the delegate maths.
It must also be pointed out that many Obama supporters did not vote in these fashion parade elections because they thought it would not count. Please also note that in Florida, many people voted because of a home tax issue on the ballot that would affect home owners, and not merely because there was a primary election.

Anyone who watched the crowd at Grand Rapids Michigan during the rally with John Edwards and Obama would note that the people of Michigan do not hold Obama responsible for the DNC rules!

Clinton is losing because even though she has a huge number of supporters, the democratic process allows voters to make their choice of a nominee, and the majority in majority of the contests, chose a different candidate. She is losing fair and square.

All of the big name and celebrity endorsements did not seal the deal for the Great Obama.

I doubt forcing the super delegates to back the weaker candidate will help him now either.

The people aren't that easily fooled. We spotted Obama as an empty suit and pandering hyoocritical demagogue from the start.

The best candidate is Hillary Clinton. You can knock her out of the race- but we can still vote for her in Nov.

Edwards you did a good job , we need to finish it

Obama has also won by showing through his fund-raising that change happens best from bottom to up. He has out-raised any other politician in history and has over 1.5 million people contributing small amounts in regular intervals to his campaign.

Clinton is a seasoned politician and should be proud of some of her achievements and whilst I did not appreciate her negative campaign
I believe Obama has weathered these attacks and that it has made him a stronger candidate who has been shown to be as imperfect as the rest of us. Obama is not a messiah, but we have all seen him growing as a person and as a politician, who is not afraid to say sorry when wrong, and who quickly learns from his mistakes. This is a quality we need in a leader.

Clinton is losing because voters have chosen Obama who has run an excellent campaign and the more people get to know him, the more they see why he would make a great president.

Obama Keep going we don't want mcsame in the White House Because he is a Racist and is Bush's Older Brother that is why they share the same policy Beliefs. Democrats Unite.

To Clinton’s supporters,

I am so emotionally invested in this election process and I feel your pain that your candidate is losing. I know I would be so pained if the maths were against my preferred candidate Obama.

Whilst I understand that you are hurting and grieving, I cannot understand the difficulty some of you have in your understanding that Obama is winning fair and square. Clinton has not had any election stolen from her!

Obama has won in every way used to determine a successful campaign. He has won 32 contests compared to Clinton's 17. He has won more delegates (this is how the party determines who wins its primary in a proportionate allocation of delegates and even Penn mistakenly thought California was winner takes all). He has won more states, more popular votes (get real, he wasn't even on Michigan’s ballot and neither were any other candidate apart from Clinton), raised more money, and the superdelegates who overwhelming favoured Clinton at the beginning of this race and none of you were complaining then (before super Tuesday, she had more than 100 more superdelegates than Obama), are now endorsing Obama mostly because majority of voters have spoken in their constituents.

Just got another SD from Oregon today so..CNN, lets make that 5 total today..YEEEE-HAWWWWWWWW.

U-ROCK OBAMA 08'/12'

who cares! run independent hillary. you don't owe the sham of a dnc anything. let dean and pelosi unify whats left of the democrats, after your 17 million plus voters register independent. hillary clinton independent 08!

CLEARLY Edwards is sexist and so are his supporters...if they switch to Obama... and they don't work hard either!!!

The clock is ticking Hillary honey, No, the alarm is going off!!!. Please exit gracefully. Thank you.

No surprise there. Time to unite around Obama. We NEED to win this election.

What more is it going to take for Hillary Clinton to understand the majority of the people don't want her for president or vice president?
Thank you Senator Edwards supporters !

Keep coming home, folks...you know where your heart is. Obama will have this thing SIGNEDM SEALED & DELIVERED by the 3rd!!

Forget the pledged delegates--forget the super delegates-they will shortly be irrelevant-–HILLARY IS RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT--we're behind her.

HURRAY !!!!!

2 down. 57 to go. The end's definately in sight.

Hillary Clinton is still the better candidate.

You are all seeing the light now.

It is too late... you backed the wrong horse... and now you will be stuck with the loser all the way to the finish line.

That is good news, as it helps the nomination get decided quicker. It appears that Senator Obama is about 57 delegates away from locking up the nomination. Unless the situation with Florida and Michigan gets drastically changed on May 31, then I suspect the Democratic nominee will be decided shortly after June 3.

Good News!

What the voters say is what counts in the end.

Day by day, Obama reveals himself to be a do-nothing, know-nothing, candidate. Too bad he got this far just on speeches.

Next time vet your candidates. Make sure that they at least have positions and can state those positions without constant back peddling.

Obama is the WORST choice of the three.

Too bad for the DEMs.

The Supers should do what is RIGHT and back the better candidate. We all know that is Hillary Clinton.

Keep in coming

OK, previously, I've not been one of those who have called for Sen. Clinton to "get out". I thought she should still run her race. But now, i think I will jump on that bandwagon. This has gone on entirely too long. Sen. Obama is picking up more delegates (and supers) daily and there's no mathematical way she will catch him (unless ALL remaining supers decide to go with Clinton, which we know is very unlikely). It's time for the Democrats to unite and campaign instead of constantly fighting while McCain has a weekend bbq. Enough already!!

Drip Drip Drip...

Pretty soon the line will be crossed and we can move on to fully supporting Obama in the general election. Still, we have a few more bridges to cross and wounds to heal. Trust this, if the Dems fail to win in November, it will be called the biggest upset and travishamockery that had ever occurred in political history.

welcome aboard sirs

ride the glory train to a better usa

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS

AND THE CLINTON ,OBAMA SUPPORTERS

AND GOD BLESS TED KENNEDY

Jack – what a beautiful thing, if God is for you, who can be against you!!!!!

Regardless, Hillary Clinton needs to be on that ticket to thwart anything the Republicans have to throw come fall. The Republicans fear that ticket.

Come on Superdelegates...now is the time to stand behind the Democratic nominee for President...BARACK OBAMA.

DO NOT let Hillary Clinton take this fight to the convention. She has had plenty of time to bow out gracefully and it's obvious that she's going to take the party down with her if given half the chance.

She's not going to leave so let's escort her OUT.

I want MacCain & Hillary to support Barack Obama too
because we need to unify the country and the DNC

We the people want that

W HO REALLY CARES???

Obama is never going to win , too many people do not trust him
or his wife.

I don't know what the rest of the supers are waiting for. Democrats seem to have problems allowing themselves to win anything.

Welcome aboard the Obama Train............Next stop Denver. Final destination Inaguration Day Washington DC , Jan. 09 !!!!

I sense fear and remorse.

They backed the demagogue.

The people were not fooled and will not vote for the lesser candidate who was forced on us by the DNC and the media.

Mavericks abound in this country.

We will walk the true path. We will write in Hillary Clinton.

Why? She is the best. She got screwed. Obama was favored. Obama cheated. Obama has NO platform.

All aboard the OBAMA train. Headed to Washington D C. Come on hilary get on board and start the healing process. You are not going to be the prez, so why not stop and wasting peoples money and getting deeper in debt. The superdelegates are getting on board. Maybe next time ok?

It is past time that Hillary leave the race. I have been patient but Obama supporters will not sit by and let you Clintonites hijack this race or this party. She lost, fair and square, now put a sock in it. Suck it up and move on. You people are driving our chances of putting an end to Bush down the drain. GET A GRIP ALREADY! I would have voted for Clinton had she won. But she didn't. Now get on board or become a sore sport loser like Lieberman.

Obama is a diesel engine.

YES! Thank you and welcome to the "O" Team!

Our Obama Train is rolling and picking up stream as we continue to roll to the white house for all Americans Dreams!

Go Bam!

To Hillary supporters............ we still have room!

Hopefully more superdelegates and delegates will continue to come in. I don't know about you guys but I am absolutely disgusted with the Superdelegates for not ending this terrible situation and Hillary for starting out strong but now coming off as a woman/child who is having a tantrum because she is not winning the monopoly game. Enough already. And those of you who say you are dems and support Hillary but refuse to support Obama and choose McCain that is just sick but that is your choice.

It did not have to drag that long.

The race is all but over.

Hillary who!!!

57 more and this insaity shall be over. Maybe Hillary will get the hint. I'm sure McAulife et al will be all over the Sunday morning shows with a new nomination number.

How many men (and women) candidates have fallen by the roadside? America was ready to elect a woman president in 2008. But the political leaders were afraid of a powerful woman. Sexism and racism was never a real issue in this race till they decided to use it against Hillary Clinton. But she was too smart for that she knew this is a political game and was not surprised as others may have. This is not the 2000 Presidential election. We know more now than what we knew then.

The rest of the superdelegates need to just end this thing so we can move on and unite behind one candidate. Hillary just cant accept the fact that she has lost. Her and bill are in constant denial, it's become really sad and damaging to the party. One thing these primaries have proven is that the Clintons care little about the party, it's all about them. Hillary it's time to take it like a man !!!!!!!!!

Thank you kind people it is nice that others can see the strength of Mr. Obama, his responses to Mr. McCain in the past week show that not only is he a warrior he is also a gracious person. He did not attack Ms. clinton with nearly the same strength he showed against Mr. McCain because he understands, under it all, that he and Ms. Clinton are actually on the same side. I just wish she had as much graciousness within her to ahve toned down her attacks on him as he did on her.

I think this past week should put an end to those misstatements that he is a wimp and a pushover he DOES have the internal strength but uses it against his real opponant not just wildly swings at anyone who disagrees.

u OBAMABOTS just dont' get it if he steels the election then us 'uneducated' HILLARY supporters will be voting Mcain or wirting in HILLARY.

The sexist media has stolen this from Hillary on day one and they just want to push their BLACK LIBERAL MUSLIM cnadidate down our throat.

Its impossible for OBAMA to win in november because me and all the other HIALRY fans will not be brainwashed to vote fora DISHONEST LYING NEGATIVE politician!!

Dean should just make all the superdelegates make-up their minds ONCE and for all.

PLEASE scrap this ridiculous superdelegate system next time to prevent this type of selfish mentality where people wait to the last minute to make -up minds to not offend the candidate most likely to win.

I just love our NC formal senator....welcome to the winning ticket in November...keep them coming....

President Obama you are a blessing for change for all people...any color and any gender, and for anyone to suggest different are full of lies........

God bless you, your family, Edwards, his team, all us your supporters and the voters that are true democrates that will vote and do the right thing in November...........

McCain we see you in November...........

Who cares what about the 17 million voters not delagates that supported Clinton can Obama clinch them for the general thats more important. We already know he is going to be the nominee because of that slime Dean.

How can you have 1100+ hundred pages describing your health? John "Songbird" McCain is not healthy. He is also receiving 100% military medical dissability. This fact only proves that he is NOT healthy.

YUP !..thats right..keep em' comin'

OBAMA 08'/12'

NO OBAMA

The end is near for Hilary. He'll have 2026 by Monday if this continues.

With due respect to the Clintons, what part of mathematical lose they do not understand? It is all about numbers. She should immediatey change her strategy and embrace Obama. After all time heals all wounds. Try Hillary!!!

Yes yes yes I am very happy to see everyone in the DNC understood that the time is flying and we must stop playing and get into the line just for the country we love ..yes USA before personal interest..

Obama 08
I love Edwards too

God bless USA and all the good people

HERE'S THE FIRST POLL RESULTS FROM RDP ON A THREE WAY RACE BETWEEN OBAMA, MCCAIN & HILLARY:

Hillary Clinton 35%
John McCain 30%
Barack Obama 26%

Let's see if Hillary announces running as an Independent shortly although insiders say she'll wait until June 3.

JUST A START !!

welcome aboard

I feel for the democrats.

Trying to save themselves from the mess they created.

That is what happens when you tamper with the vote in America.

We won't simply go along with fixed elections and pretend we support the weak puppet leftist nominee.

Barack For President. Know this Wolf. You can smile when you cann't say anything positive about my guy.

My dog is also endorsing Obama. I am thinking of giving it away.

Just the day before, the Center for Responsive Politics revealed Obama's real strategy to secure the nomination by winning over superdelegates– cold, hard cash.

And while it would be unseemly for the candidates to hand out thousands of dollars to primary voters, or to the delegates pledged to represent the will of those voters, elected officials who are superdelegates have received at least $904,200 from Obama and Clinton in the form of campaign contributions over the last three years, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Obama, who narrowly leads in the count of pledged, "non-super" delegates, has doled out more than $698,200 to superdelegates from his political action committee, Hope Fund, or campaign committee since 2005. Of the 82 elected officials who had announced as of Feb. 12 that their superdelegate votes would go to the Illinois senator, 35, or 43 percent of this group, have received campaign contributions from him in the 2006 or 2008 election cycles, totaling $232,200. In addition, Obama has been endorsed by 52 superdelegates who haven't held elected office recently and, therefore, didn't receive campaign contributions from him.

This is great, but the rest need to get off the pot and come come the movement, they can end this mess!!!

**ALL Obama supporters need to personally call Obama's campaign in Ill. and let them know that we do NOT want Hillary as Vice. Hillary supporters are calling, we not sit back and trust this to work out as it should. Go to his web site and get number, I will not give it out on lin. Call the DNC!!

BE PRO-ACTIVE!!!
NOT
RE-ACTIVE!!!

Obama was in Boca Raton, Fl. yesterday, trying to sway the Jewish
voters, he best give it up, NEver going to happen. They don't
trust him. Cafferty can tell you till the sheep come home, but the
younger Jews are not going to vote for him either.

How dare the Governor from NY make a statement that Clinton
is desperate. This is coming from a black Obama supporter
that should have been thrown out of office after he admitted to
drugs and adultry.

Thanks to you Sir Edwards, at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. This has been made possible by selfless people like you. May the almighty bless you and your family and the entire GREAT NATION OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!. Together we stand divided we fall. Only 56 to go " IF YOU CANT THE WAY I COUNT"

The democratic party is in deep doodoo and they know it
.
They backed the wrong candidate and it backfired on them.
Obama barely has 50% support- with every advantage given to him and every disadvantage given to Clinton.

Now, they have no choice but force the superdelegated to back Obama. They want to create a show of unity and strength. But it is hard to hide this candidates true weakness and unpreparedness.
Still, what choice do they have but to try to save the party and this election?

But it is already too late.
The Clinton supporters rejected Obama at the start. He was all talk and no action. He had no qualifications for the job. He cheated at every turn to advantage himself.

HRC supporters will not suddenly support Obama at the end. Especially now, after all the hate and vulgarity, insults and the dirty politics and the attacks on Clinton and her supporters.

Nothing REAL has changed- Obama is still not qualified to lead. He has still done nothing for his country. Obama still waffles on all of his already vague positions. He still continues to keep things vague to allow himslef wiggle room so as not to alienate anyone.

Clinton is still superior in EVERY way. Her positions are definite and clearly stated and politically sound. She has a proven track record. and she has a solid base of support.

So why would we ever vote for Obama?

We can write in Hillary Clinton and still get the very best.

welcome aboard
that's the way to go

Now, lets ask ourselves, why do these people keep coming in droves to support Sen Obama. It kills me that people plan to not vote Democratic because Hillary is not the nominee. That would be asinine. There's no reason to comment further.

I'm Beckie Sue... and I approve this endorsement!

OBAMA '08 & '12

Obama's SD's UP
Hillary's SD's DOWN

Sounds like the stock market

TAKE IT TO DENVER HILLARY!

NO MORE RIGGED ELECTIONS IN AMERICA.

HILLARY WILL HAVE THE POPULAR VOTE, ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, AFTER THE PUERTO RICO PRIMARY.

GO HILLARY GO!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.....

OBAMA '08

He needs all the delegates he can get...especially when Florida and Michigan are seated..Don't pick your running mate yet Obama...this race ain't over...and from where I sit,,,,,you ain't got a chance.

From CNN to the New York Times, the media hyped Barack Obama's Portland, Oregon rally on Sunday, some comparing him to a rock star.

Unmentioned in national reporting was the fact that Obama was preceded by a rare, 45-minute free concert by actual rock stars The Decemberists. The Portland-based band has drawn rave reviews from Rolling Stone magazine, which gave their 2005 album Picaresque four and a half stars (out of five), and another four and a half stars for 2007's The Crane Wife.

good job!

Thank you!!! Senator Obama will make you both proud!!!!

Unite!!

Obama 08/12!

Here is the plan....
Obama offers Hillary VP, she turns him down.
Obama loses the general election due to Clinton Write-in and McCain switchers. At the same time, Hillary becomes senate majority leader.
Hillary Clinton quickly defeats rivals in the next democratic presidential primary.
She picks a highly respected, smart republican for VP.
She becomes president in a landslide, and truley unites the country.

cnn is always late to report any good news about obama. but if hillary have any good news then cnn will be the first to know.

Outstanding!!!! Only 57 Delegates away from 2026!!!!

Obama 08/12

BIG MISTAKE

Keep them coming!

Welcome aboard!

Obama '08

2 more fools.

Jumping Ship.......I would not expect any less from these people. There is only one Fighter among them all...Name? HILLARY CLINTON

What a great day for Obama!!! And well deserved!

yay...welcome aboard. 57 delegates to go until May 31st! we can do it!!!

yes we can 08

Keep em coming! Let the countdown begin.

John Edwards should have taken a cue from his wife Elizabeth and NOT endorsed ANYONE for president.

He sure alienated me. I supported Edwards four years ago and earlier this year. I voted in Oregon as a Dem and then became Independent, where I feel more comfortable.

Edwards stabbed me in the back.

Congradulations Obama! You should have this wrapped up by June 4th. A big Thank You to all the super delegates for not dragging this out any further. Time to focus on McCain.

The gap continues to widen. Hillary, I know you think you're more electable, but the delegates, the super delegates, the Democratic leadership, and a large majority of Democratic voters seem to disagree. I know you probably think that if you keep repeating the mantra "I'm more electable" somehow, some way, it will become true.
I think the best thing you could do now is follow the Wizard of Oz mantra. Just start saying, "There's no place like home. There's no place like home." And by the way, "home" is not the Whitehouse.

It's time to go back to the Senate and do good work there. When the general election is over, if the Democrats win, you will undoubtedly be selected for a powerful position in which you can do great work.

Welcome! Thank you. Please call other superdelegates and urge them to step forward. It doesn't matter for who, what matters is that they grow a pair and put forth thier support for one or the other.

...and CNN, it OK to put such news at the top of the Ticker. Why do you always tuck OB's positve news aways two or three stories down, even under an old story that would have been posted hours before.

56 delegates to do to 2026! WOW!!!!!!!!

DUH!!!

Note, that are still 7 delegates in NC who haven't lost their sense.

Good. Welcome on board.

Congratulations, Senator Obama!

Dems '08

Edwards is making a HUGE mistake by not accepting the VP role. I hope he reconsiders. If he is serious about making change, the time is now!

Obama/Edwards 08 and 12

Way to go!

Obama/Clinton 08!

Democrats unite!

America moves forward!

Only 58 more to go!!

WOO HOOO!!

YES WE CAN!!

YES WE CAN!!

YES WE CAN!!

V
OBAMA
T
E

LOVES IT !!

Full Steam Ahead.... The Obama express in on a roll.......

Obama 08

Well, I guess we will have another 4 years of Republicans! Thanks to the DNC and the media for pushing Obama down our throats.

Hillary 2012-2020.

I'll be taking a closer look at Edwards in 2012. He did a good thing for the Democrats by endorsing Obama and I'll be glad when other superdelegates do the same.

If Obama wins the presidency I might as well live in my car and take the prescription drugs from the companies that sponsored Obama. Because his health care plan will be mandatory for me and helpful to big drug and insurance companies. I will no longer afford a home because he will lift the payroll tax as he said he would in the Pennsylvania debate.

I will be sure to vote against any local politician in my area that endorsed him.

Obamabots are taking a huge gamble in a major economic crises with this man with no real plan.

Hillary or McCain 08

Another superdelegate from Oregon has just endorsed, I hope you'll report that. Please also start showing that Obama now needs only 56 delegates. He will definitely get that number by June 3. The countdown is realy exciting to follow in other networks!!!!

Without Clinton, the democrats will NOT win in November! And NO ONE cares what Edward's says OR does.

And Oregon Superdelegate Jenny Greenleaf has endorsed Obama. 1,970 to 1,779 now.

Also, Georgia, Alaska, Wyoming and Hawaii select the add-on superdelegates, 7 more total. All states Obama won. Expect him to get at least 6 more from those, and whichever other delegates endorse.

Any day now I expect Hillary to announce she will pledge for Obama along with her delegate supporters. The Obama train still has room for republicans, independents, libertarians, ALL, get on board.

Dear God, in Heaven...

Let this be over soon so that we may unite....

HILLARY IS DONE!!!!!!!!!!

welcome aboard

Well alright! Keep these delegates coming so this race can come to a close.

Keep them coming! I guess thay are tired of Hillary's treats!

56 delegates to go!

Obama 08

This has gone on far too long....Hillary, can you read the writing on the wall?
