Hillary! For your own sake and that of ur husband's legacy plz GET OUT OF the "HISTORY'S WAY!" before you are run over by the will of CHANGE and get totally SMASHED! Remember that Time and Tide will not bear resistance! How fat an EGO do you have!!??

i've noticed that all the hillary supporters have no argument when it comes to defending their candidate, all they say is 'go on, carry on, we're all for you!' but they always fail to mention the reason why they want her to do so! the polls are right when they say that most of her voters are uneducated, they haven't got a clue, to be quite honest, this woman is brain dead and right out pathetic, enough already, go away and don't come back!

Here's an idea for the future...
Condense and even out the primaries. Just throwing out numbers, but perhaps 5 states per week, or 10 states every other week? It would take 2.5 months, there would be no "super Tuesdays" or mediocre Tuesdays (those with one state), and the candidates would still have time to campaign. Maybe it could go back and forth from east to west (to make campaigning more convenient/efficient- not to mention saving some of the ridiculous carbon emissions that occur when all those people have to constantly fly zig-zag across the country!) The schedule would hypothetically be set up in a logical way by the DNC (and really the RNC too- since another thing I believe should happen is to have all primaries be open) and states would simply NOT have the option of changing their dates.
Just a thought...

Well, we now know who the Vice President WON'T BE!! I can't believe that at one point I was going to vote for Hillary. Anyone want to wager whether or not she will do a Lieberman?

At first I was mad at Hillary Clinton for the type of campaign she ran. Now I really do feel sorry for her. The Bible says that out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. To have that kind of hate in your heart that you would stick around in the race just in case something happens to Obama. She may not have meant it, but there are just some things YOU DO NOT SAY!!!!! "35" years of experience should have taught her that! It's sad to se that it has come to this. It's no longer about her desire to finish the primaries anymore. Now it's about the fact that not only is she killing her political career, she is taking the whole democratic party down with her. If she really cared about the party as a whole, the LEAST she could do was run a clean campaign. It's really sad.

The Republicans would have a field day with the democrats in the fall if Sen Clinton is on the ticket as Vice-President or President. She is entirely polarizing to the vast majority of Americans by her uncanny ability to constantly show her complete lack of ethics and character!

The Democratic party will survive with or without the Clintons. Sen Clinton needs to think what kind of legacy her campaign is leaving for the next female Presedential candidate.

Sen Clinton is desperate!

I feel sorry for the kid who stold his video game and his bike to donate to Hillary.

I THINK SHE IS REALLY MAKING HERSELF LOOK BAD, I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HER, BUT NOW I SEE HOW EMOTIONS CAN TURN A COUNTRY UPSIDE DOWN, AND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO WITH HER AS PRESIDENT. I WAS IN THE MILITARY AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THEY DONT RESPECT WOMEN IN POWER ANYWAYS, THEY WILL SEE HER AS AN WEAKNESS AND WILL BOMB US AWAY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE HIT US WHERE IT HURTS, ECONOMY AND SOLDIERS, THIEY WILL CONTINUE TO KILL US UNTIL WERE WEAK IN NUMBERS, THAT FIGHT OVER THERE WILL NEVER END. YOU DONT PLAY WITH THOSE PEOPLE EITHER YOU TAKE ALL OR FIGHT TILL YOU DIE, THEY WILL NEVER ACCEPT OUR VIEWS OF GOVERNMENT. ITS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR A WOMEN PRESIDENT. I SEE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD GOOD AND EVIL AND A SERIES OF EVENTS FOLLOW EACH BEHAVIOR AND HILARY IS ON THE GREEDY AND EVIL SIDE NOW. SHE HAS A HARD TIME FACING REALITY AND ACKNOWLEDGING HER AGREEMENTS, THIS IS NOT WHAT I HOPED FOR AS THE FIRST WOMEN PRESIDENT, SHE HAS NO BEARING, WE NEED SOMEONE TO REPRESENT US WITH SOME BALLS, NOT AN EMOTIONAL CRY BABY, ILL VOTE FOR OBAMA FOR NOW UNLESS HE SHOWS ME ANOTHER SIDE OF HIM, I THINK HE'S SMART AND HAS TO HEART TO BARE WHATS AHEAD OF HIM AND I TRUST HE WILL US HIS RESOURSES AND REVIEW THEM THROUGHLY BEFORE HE MAKES A DECISION , UNLIKE HILARY, I THINK HE'S MOST SUITABLE, AT LEAST HE'S HONEST AND CARRY HIMSELF WITH DIGNITY, A TRUE LEADER.

HRC supporters, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY IF SHE BECOMES THE NOMINEE. Hmm, seems sort of irrelevant now, doesn't it? She's toast.

She is to the point, if she can't win (and she can't and won't), she doesn't want Obama to win. To use her words SHAME ON YOU hilary, SHAME ON YOU.

Where the hell are these super delegate? Are they going to make up their mind before Hillary destroy the party? I wonder what some of them are faired of. I hope they will remain on the fence and see how Hillary is willing to ruin the party. What are these leaders of democrat doing? Why do they want Obama to choice Hillary has VP? Hillary is not about change. They don't belong to the same ticket. Moreover Hillary said Obama is not electable, so why does she has she has to be his VP after all what she has put Obama through and say about him? Really politics is a dirty game. Democratic party leaders do you think there is no other person that fit the VP position than Hillary? If that what you leaders are thinking then I don't think you want democrat in the white house.

Hillary wouldn't be complaining if she was the front runner.......Obama read the DNC rules and followed the rules. Its clear Hillary didn't read the DNC rules before getting into the race. So much hot air about experience Hillary....Its delegates that counts. Not popular votes! HILLARY GET OUT NOW YOU' RE SPOILING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!

Where are Senator Clinton's records? Did she get psychiatric counseling after the Monica ordeal? Some counseling might be a good idea, considering today's events.

This race has gone on too long.

All of those who are so afraid that Barack won't get the nomination or the presidency at that, please stop with your constant, desperate attacks on Hillary. Everything she says is being taken out of context just to make her look like the most horrible person ever to walk the planet. Your responses are childish and ridiculous.

Besides, if you think Barack is such a strong candidate overall, than why give poor ol' Hillary so much credit for ruining his chances? That shows that you don't have faith in him either.

And please, please do not blame the Clintons, if Barack loses in the general election; that is if he even makes it out of the primary stage. I suggest that you just suck it up and let the process play out.

honestly, the caucus system should have been destroyed years ago because its a system of the past. Its all about primary's because this will accumulate the actual voter turnout and not a bland overview..

YOU GO CLINTON

The same rule her husband used.What else would this woman not try.Infact she is behaving like a spoilt child of late.Please she need help.
DEM UNITE BEHIND OBAMA TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE.

As much as I have tried to be civil to Senator Clinton as of late, for the good of the Party, respect her service, and allow her to bow out gracefully, I must say that she has completely discredited herself.

She continues to claim falsely that more people voted for her, which is just false.

She flip flops on the rules and on which states are important and matter.

She has continually put her foot in her mouth, most recently today with the RFK remark and misquoting the history of the 1992 campaign.

Now...the process is unfair.

As a child, when I would whine, cry, and complain, my mother would smack me and tell me to knock it off or she would really give me something to cry about.

I implore the Super delegates to do what they are charged with to protect the Party nomination process and secure the best campaign going into November, and END this madness of the Clinton Campaign. It has just become destructive to the Party as a whole.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing the Fat Lady who wishes now to sing for you..."

"Patty" May 24th, 2008 1:15 am ET

– I actually agree with you regarding holding all primaries on the same day. I never understood the rationalel behind holding them over the course of several months under our current system. My only guess would be that having primaries over a 5-6 month timeframe, enables the media to microanalyze the voter results for each in every state. It makes for great storylines as they can spin who has momentum, etc. As we all know, the General Election is only one day. So I don't know why the primaries don't follow this format??
Yikes, I just realized that I may be agreeing with Hillary on this. Scary thought....

This lady is terrific. Are people now birdbrained to understand that Hillary Clinton thinks that America belongs to her.She has been doing and saying all what she wanted and she always gets away with them. She is a pathological liar. She lied to the whole nation about Bosnian, she did intentionally deceived the DNC by letting them to believe her barefaced lie on Mi. and Fl. She admitted in the first place like every other candidate that these votes shouldn't be counted, she lied to Ohio and Pennsylvania about NAFTA, she deceived America about
Columbia. She said and keep saying she has the most popular votes, instead of repudiating racial divisive comments, she invokes using the racial card. She plays the gender card now she is falsely instrumentalizing the death of Edward Kennedy..... I can't take this anymore, enough is enough! E N O U G H! Wolf Blitzer should objectively say what is right and tell her to quitt!

TO,

ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTER AND GENERAL PEOPLE OF AMERICA AS A PROUD CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY REJECT AND STOP ANY ACTIVITY OF HILLARY.

TELL YOUR FRIEND AND NEIGHBOUR TO STOP HILLARY ACTIVITY.

She simply can not under any circumstances be offered the VP spot! Can you image what she would do every time she wanted Barack to do things her way?

Barack – pick anyone but Hillary as a running mate, she will destroy not only you but the nation.

OBAMA 08 & 12!

....send Hillary to the mental hospital!

Why do people still want to listne to this woman

It's not fair, what is happening. The person who is most competent is being shoved out...why? Because the media circus centers around Barack Obama. Never mind that half the Dems didn't vote for him, or that Clinton has the majority of the popular vote. Once again, the peoples voice doesn't matter. It's no small wonder where a lot of Obama's money has gone.

The perfect soundtrack for this news report is Janis Joplin's "Cry baby". Grow up Hill!

This woman is POISON!! she will say anything. Shame on you blind,ignorant ,racist idiots!!!!

im from switzerland who watch CNN 24/7 ..... but ill change the station if jessica yelin give the news coz shes not fair to hillary clinton ..........

Man this is really making her look bad . You agreed to the rules ahead of time , don't be bitter because Sen. Obama ran a much better campaign .

Obama 08 !!!

YES WE CAN !!!

WHY SHE DIDNT SAY THAT BEFORE THE RACE STARTED??? wake up ppl there is nothing she want more than being eleted it doesnt matter how,,by any means nessessary,
I MEAN WAKE UP PEOPLE

OBAMA 08/12 OR ANYBODY ELSE BUT PLEASE NOT THE CLINTONS

By listening to these comments, it comes to me as no surprise that all the rediculous sounding ones are from people who Support Hillary Clinton. Not only that but to say that Obama hates america and is anti-american, only helps Obamas cause by showing how completely narrowmided they are. At this point any true democrat needs to realize that Barack Obama not Hillary Clinton is going to be our nominee. Regardless of how many ways she tries to manipulate the system. Get behind your party.

Obama 2008,2012

Barak Hussein Obama please go back to where you belong, leave the Americans do their best for their country, Americans please wake up don't be demonized by this bogus person.

Obama is a big liar, he wants to ruin the American people so watch out guys. Who wants to bet?

After reading some of the comments here I realized that it is not that Clinton is desperate to get the nomination for president. It is just that some people are impatient that until now Obama is not yet officially nominated to run for president by the party even when it seems he is likely to get a majority of pledged delegates. Whether it is large or small we still don't know until after Michigan and Florida votes are counted. And inspite of this it is still uncertain with the superdelegates which makes it reasonable for Clinton to continue. The current circumstances actually gave us the chance to see how resilient and strong this woman is. If Obama is still campaigning for nomination it only suggest that infact he too is still uncertain if he'll get the nomination. So cool down folks it's only a week away before this gets settled once and for all.

Rules are rules. It's what the whole system is based on. If you evade tax for example, you have to accept the potential consequences. Clinton wants to break with the rules and is experiencing consequences.

She, in trying to swat him out of the way, has become the catalyst that is warming people in support of Obama and his vision to move the country in a new, more positive direction.

It is time for the superdelegates to do their job and settle this whole thing before Obama starts to lose the momentum Clinton has and continues to give him. Otherwise let's just brace ourselves for more of the same.

To be changed now or in 2012? Shame on you. I respect women, but the behaviour of Hillary and Feraro is strange and Thanks to GOD that she is loosing and that her traces cannot be found in the White House Again.

pathetic all you people that take out of contest everything she says...sooo much hate..scary...and the next best youtube "big brother "video goes to the cool aid drinkers

Yes, if we just listen to Barak Hussein Obma's words it's all heaven but it didn't come from his heart it just from his thick lips, he can't even remember why and how he voted against the war on Iraq. He can say lots of good words why not? but the bottom line, he had no dispostion nor originality, is this the guy are we proud to be president? Mind you guys, Barak has his own behavior, he grew up not in a christian culture, he'd been in Indonesia and Kenya so watch out it will be your deep regret someday.

GOD,

This 10 Commandments thing must be changed...

I won't be able to get into Heaven.

Sincerely,

Hillary

Although I am half a world away from America, I have been following up the democratic nomination process, which is more interesting then any soap opera. As the campaign progressed, the true character of Hillary has come to the fore as she convinces the world that not only is she spiteful, selfish and mean but also wicked. Just as Bush proved to be fatal attraction during the last elections if she by any chance does get nominated – she will prove to be disastrous not only to her party but to America also. To be a good leader decency is a must whether one is on the winning side or the losing side of a nomination.
The world other then America is waiting for a peace lover like Jimmy Carter, which unfortunately in todays world has become a rare commodity.

My God what is wrong with her...?

I feel really bad for her, I hope she has time to reflect on what happened and her life after this is all over...

Patti–I think you're on to something. I agree that this whole nominating process needs to change in the future (can't change it right now). It seems so absurd that these primaries happen over the span of 6 months, leaving so little time between the end of the primaries and the GE. I think the super delegates could stand to go (or be cut back) as well.

However, Lisa from OH–

You suggest that the Dems should adopt the Republican winner-takes-all way of appropriating delegates. Well that's even LESS democratic than what the Dems do now! Why not do away with delegates all together and just make it based off the popular vote (which Hillary is NOT leading in). Heck, why not just ditch the whole electoral college system while you're at it since it's pretty irrelevant today. Popular vote all around. Now THAT'S a democracy!

she needs to be stopped those super delegates need to do there job and put an end to this mess. she is out of control, and she needs to get out and get help before it is to late. I hope bill is not to proud to get her the help that she needs. And I really thinl that is why she was hanging in so long waiting to see if someone would kill obama and open the slot for her because that treat was made from day 1 of this race even if it was not by her.

This system has been used for how long? Honestly I do not know. It does seem to me that since she is losing that it is wrong(in her opinion). Why?

Before this got nuts we had 3 very good and seemingly capable candidates. John bowed out for history in the making. So it left us 2 people in one party to show who was better a white women or a black man. The later chose to do a clean campaign and only responded to attacks from someone else of the same party. The prior chose to attack someone of the same party rather than play a fight over issues.

They are the same on what? 90 percent of everything so why are people saying they would vote for war and a possible draft if their person isn't chosen.

has anyone noticed that the cnn map shows obama winning missouri and clinton tying in texas?? if you look at the numbers clinton and obama are actually tied in missouri by delegate count and clinton won texas by the same measure!
i feel like cnn is biased against clinton.

No matter what the system /rulesset are if you have a crook / liar that the minute they see they are loosing she hollars.
She is changing all the rules to benefit her and her alone .
Threatening
lies lies lies
sexism
racism
brags on Republican while personal degrades other Democrat.
Agrees to Michigan/Florida rules then wants to break the rules in her favor.
Has her own math system to change way votes are counted.
How many times has she repeated she was staying in race "in case something happened "even using the words we never want to hear about something happening.
Scare tactic / or has ______________planned..............................???
Dean take care of this situation ?
Superdeligates step up to the plate and end this NOW
Rules are Rules
It isn't the rules thats the problem its securing a padded cage for the rule breaker.

she had no problem with the primary process when it was serving her and her husband well.

and....HILLARY IS NOT COUNTING ANY VOTERS FROM CAUCUS STATES!!!!!

How can she claim the popular vote, or claim to care about "all the votes being counted" when she -by her own tally- wants to disenfranchise all the people who voted through caucus state votes?

she is so full of it.

go away Hillary. You lost. Fair and square.

Yes Hillary , you are losing so lets just change the rules ( that you agreed to ) to accommodate YOU and so that YOU can be President ! The woman is pathetic . They will probably have to drag her away from the podium kicking , biting and screaming as Obama accepts the nomination .

Please can somebody tell this woman it's o-v-a-h. first she was a come back kid and now can you please change the rule for me to be VP maybe she need to ask please before her and BILL this is the nominee process and oh no she have the majority votes..HILLARY time to go. I think the woman is a Republican for real. she can't win but she will take the rest down with her..........moron get out enough.

Everything is wrong.

Fit the rules so i can win.

sour loser!!!

SUPER in superdelegates means SUPERIOR BLOOD. All men are equal but some are more equal than others- Animal Farm.

she's a sore loser. not to mention a kinving, scheming, v*g! most of america is done with her except for the blue hairs. enough...end this and lets win in Nov!

OMG Obamas wife now found on a tape calling out on a white people rant....Obama you will never win the General

Say what you will about Hillary , at least she can win and knows how..she will do anything , thank god!!!

Go Hillary

hillary is something else shes a joke now shes unhapply with the role of the super deleg. if the dnc doesnt end this real soon we are nt going to have ademorcat party. this is getting disgusting.

She couldn't Win by the Rules ..
So Therefore the rules Must be changed??

She Has become a danger to herself and others...

Call the Men in the White Coats..

She has lost her Mind.!

She has Flown Over The Koo-Koo's Nest..:-(

This is for Jeff who chimes in that Obama hates America, steals other candidates' ideas, and that it is ONLY Hillary that stays focused on the issues. You really have no idea what you are talking about. First and foremost, like Obama has said, this election is about the democrats taking over the white house. This election IS NOT ABOUT HIM OR HILLARY. He is absolutely right. As much as I can not stand Hillary, I will vote for if she were the nomine (by way of FAIRNESS).
Now onto your ramblings Jeff: As for taking other candidates ideas, Hillary actually picked apart John Edward's health plan and made it her own. Edwards had the same health care plan since the last time he ran in 2004. I know this because I have always been an edwards supporter. Hillary had no plan when she first entered this race.
As for staying focused on the issues, she can't be too focused if she couldn't give her adamant decision on granting illegal immigrants driving licenses. Here in NY ( Yes, I am from NY and she does nothing for us here on Long Island) she was asked about granting illegal immigrants driving licenses. She couldn't form a decision because she was waiting to see how it would play out. When Elliot Spitzer was shot down on the proposal, THEN Hillary came forward to say it wasn't a good idea. Lastly, Hillary has lied numerous times here in NY. As for here on Long Island, she barely ccomes around to hear about our issues. She only comes around during election time, and to Book revue to sign her book.

This coming from the very person who made the sad asasination comment now wants to change the DNC? Hillary you lost all credibility and any respect at all I had for you. To use history in such a hateful way is appauling..

Why does the Democratic nomination process need to change? Because you're losing? It's the same process by which your husband won the presidential nomination now you suggest it's flawed? Give us a break!! Even if we went all-primary, you'd still be losing! Plus if there were no superdelegates to win, you would have been out of this race a long time ago – it's been the 200+ superdelegate lead that you had from beginning that Barack Obama has had to work overtime to overcome.

When you're in a hole, the first thing you want to do is stop digging. The kind of personality that consistently blames everyone else but themselves for their failures is the worst kind of personality to have in our nation's executive office. Anyone who's worked under a boss like this knows exactly what I'm talking about.

This just boggles my mind. HRC still has the chance – right now, I mean at this very moment to bow out gracefully, especially after the comment about Kennedy, talk less of the impossible math she faces. She should bow out now or lose every bit of dignity, that's if she hasn't already lost it entirely at this point.

Hillary you're making it hard for the next woman that would want to run for president. Next time a woman throws her "hat into the ring" people are going to stop and say : uh oh, hope this doesn't turn into another Hillary Clinton campaign, we all remember how that went".
The rules were fine for you in the beginning, and if they weren't, why didn't you say something back then ?.
I used to think, "okay let her run as long as she wants to", but now you are really looking pretty pathetic. You and your husband have shown what you're both really about, and it doesn't look good.
I had even hoped you could bow out gracefully, now I just hope you get out period.

...To her benefit of course

Whether you are an Obama or Clinton supporter you surely all agree that this voting process is completely ridiculous.
Delegates , Super Delegates and the never ending silly endorsements of celebrities , and who ever had the idea to introduce caucuses.
The amount of money that gets raised and spent and earns bragging rights borders on obscenity.
Your country is at war and people are suffering due to loss of employment , lack of healthcare and not to forget the high gas prices , just to name a few.
Therefore some restraint might have been more impressive and in line with people 's daily life.
As for the comments I have read on a few websites , I am appalled at the rudeness and lack of civility used to attack candidates.

One person. One vote.

Novel concept, but right now you are still losing by the current system which is what WILL determine the nominee.

Popular vote is the only way to ensure that each person votes equally.

Wait, that would be too democratic. This is America - screwing up elections is what we DO.

There are those who say that we are unfair to Hillary, because of the things being said here. But, how can you not see that most of what is said is true. And yes, Obama is not perfect but he has run his campaign with dignity. When ever he spoke out against Hillary it was on the issues and not on a personal note. He has yet to say anything to discredit her on a personal level. He never once pushed the issue of her claim of being under sniper fire, etc. I regret that the women's rights movement is supporting her and refuse to support Obama is she does not win the nomination just because he is male. If you
looked at the whole picture you would see that he is young with new and fresh ideas, he is organized, he is poised. It is now time for a new generation to move us along. Isn't that the reason we work so hard, to educate our children in order that they can vision the future and lead us in that direction. I am so saddened by the fact that some of us cannot see past race. Our young people are out there everyday working together sharing their thoughts and ideas which is why
for example, technology is now so advanced. They don't see color, they see creativity. I love what this man represents and I hope and
pray that we as democrats will reconize this as well.

I have rarely seen such a sense of entitlement. I guess she thinks the nomination should be hers just because she was ahead once upon a time. Sorry Hillary, it is time for you to realize you lost. Get with it and back the future nominee. You have already done enough damage. And by the way, you aren't going to be Vice-President either.

Did her husband not get elected with the same rules?
What is she talking about? Please no one should say they are trying to drive the only woman in the campaign out, they did the same thing to Mike Hukabee and I did not hear him make this much bruha about it, he just insisted that he would continue until one person gets the nomination.

So she should remain by all means but at least fight with dignity. I know what it is to fight in a Man's world, its never easy but I have always done it with dignity and integrity and have never asked for handouts because I am a woman!

We do women a disservice by acting like oh my word if Sen Hillary Clinton does not become the next president who else has a chance. Well I will say this, I am more than confident that the US in the very near future will have a female president only this time, majority of men and women will be proud to vote for her and call her their president!

I want a female president that will not let us down, imagine if a female president was elected and she was a nightmare, that will be bye bye for the rest!

I have read all the other posts and I'd say they all pretty much sum it up.

This woman is humiliating herself and destroying her own career. It makes you wonder about her mental state.

Don't get me wrong-she's obviously doing damage to the Democratic Party and impeding Obama's chances in the fall-but then, I expected that of her.

What I DIDN'T expect was her recent behavior. She seems oblivious to what she is doing to herself-and she's far too narcistic and self-centered to let that happen under normal circumstances.

I am wondering if she is having a breakdown. I think someone close to her better take notice of what she is doing to herself and see if they can't help her.

I can't stand the woman, but on the other hand, I don't wish "cracking up" on anyone.

I am Indian-American.

I had highest regards for Hillary Clinton before the primary.

My regards for Hillary Clinton today is "zero".

I realized today, she would do anything to get nominated, even refreshing memory of RFK, changing rules of DNC as suits her, banning Republican Party , or changing anything to suit her, to be declared as President of United States.

I changed my mind today.

I am all for Barack Obama who has principles and stood by it even in defining moments and difficult times.

Barack Obama, you are a true leader.

Moon

That there are still so many supporters that back her on the blogs amazes me. I wrote on here earlier today that I felt she was doing the right thing in keeping the primary energized. After the things that have come out today, I know I was wrong. She's lost it at this point. There's no way she can come back. Clinton supporters, there's nothing that can be done to change this. There's no relying on Florida and Michigan as the super delegates are smart enough to realize the truth about those states. Had there been regular primaries there as opposed to them being held out due to rule breaking (something ALL candidates agreed on, including Clinton), Obama would have gotten more than enough votes to maintain a popular vote lead and the pledged delegate lead.
She let this go till June 3rd but I expect a concession speech by the end of that week.

I am an Obama supporter and I know this race is statistically over(As of May 24th, Obama just needs 19 percent of the remaining delegates to win the nomination), however, this nomination has not been "officially" clinched so if Hillary wants to continue another 2 weeks I have no problem with that.. I mean the campaign began in October 2006, what is another 2 weeks? However, I believe the Clinton's, since the Mississippi Primary in March, have shown the true colors that many Americans have accused them of for many years, (ala they will do anything and run down anybody to get what they want).. I do hope that after the last primary, and/or Obama gets the nomination because of the superdelegates, that Hillary will gracefully exit because it is not fair to Obama's supporters, her supporters, or the overall supporters of the Democratic Party to be alienated..

I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF HILLARY'S CAMP INITIATED THOSE THREATS TO OBAMA LAST YEAR TO SCARE HIM OUT OF THE RACE.

SECRET SERVICE ALRIGHT, BUT WHERE DID THOSE INITIAL THREATS COME FROM? THE CLINTONS ACT LIKE THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW.

ARREST HILLARY NOW. SHE BELONGS NO WHERE NEAR WASHINGTON!

PLANTING SEEDS OF DEMISE IS NOT HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY HILLARY.

IMPEACH HILLARY FROM THE SENATE. DO NOT LET HER CHANGE THE SUBJECT!

I am your supporter but i am disappointed that you want to change the system that elected your husband.

Hillary character is so UNpresidential. "Presidential antimatter", if you will. I think America has had enough of Presidential bad behavior to last at least another 200 years! Time for her to bow out gracefully, although I doubt that she is capable.

We will change the system after you get out of the race. BTW, if Senator Obama suddenly dies we knew where to go first.

Here's the deal if you like hypotheticals. Let's say we give you (Hillary)90% to 10% (Barack) on all the remaining contests. And 70% of the remaining superdelegates. Guess what, you still lose, and Barack wins. Drop out now.

Jeff,
You have absolutely no proof that the Obamas hate America. Just spouting right wing propoganda. As I said before, because Rush L keeps repeating it does not mean that it is true. Clinton stays focussed on try to game the system right now and Obama is focussed on the issues. I feel sorry for those that keep believing the lies and rumors about the Obamas that have been spread by haters. They are trying to maintain power by keeping us the American people dumbed down and stupid. Not this time.

After all of these months of Hillary cushion....I must say, nobody can see through the smoke and mirrors and THREATS....I used to be a Hillary supporter...but thiese last couple of months got me off the boat...no more...have been lied to enough...today was proof of that, when you incinuate a possibility that your opposition can be in peril?...That's the happy meal short of the french fry I won't mess with

Interesting: when she was rich with superdelegates she seemed pretty pleased with the way the process worked. Isn't this exactly like her late concern for the Michigan and Florida delegates?

Hillary Clinton is a cheat. As soon as she's backed into a corner, she cries foul. Accept it, Ms. Clinton: you have lost the nomination because the nation's democrats don't like you enough. Bummer. Now, bow out before all your dignity is gone.

I am confident that by the time this thing is over Hillay would have rewritten every mathematical text bok and redesign ever mathematical formula. This will of course get her richer but the students who are learning from this all hullaboloo all the more dishonest and sick

Superdelelgates need to be used during the 'weeding out' process, to help narrow down contenders from a dozen to two or three. Then start the primaries and allow all people's vote to count equally. I think this is one solution for changing the system.

after hearing what she said about Bobby Kennedy...

I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it basically sounded like, if none of these metrics work (and they won't, since they're the wildly imaginative spin of her campaign), she's hoping "something" will happen with Barack...

Again, I hope she doesn't really feel that way. Maybe it was campaign fatigue (although she's made the statement before). The woman has stretched the truth, but she's not THAT evil...

is she?

She thinks we are all Appalacian Moutain Illiterates.. and that we all will trust or believe anything she says . LOL

Think again.

Hillary Clinton is a better candidate because she states focus in the issues. While Obama keeps changing his mind showing weakness in all subjects. Hillary Clinton loves America she had worked so many years for America while Obama and his wife are antiamerican they hate America. They have not been proud of this country. So I do believe if Obama and his wife hate America they shouldn't deserved to live in the while house. The media is bias and has been giving a lot of support to Obama. Looks like the media is going to choose a Democrat candidate and not the people. Obama has been taken ideas from the other candidates and when he confronts a debate he falls because of his prejaudism and inexperience. Overall if Obama hates America and the American people he shouldn't even considered to live and white house. I feel sorry for the people who votes for Obama that they do not get the true. Obama is antiamerican and I can not believe how students are voting for him.

While i think the democatic party's nomination process is a bit silly, Clinton did not have a probelm with it until she started falling behind. If she was still the inevitable nominee in waiting she was earlier in the campaign, she'd have even less of a problem with it. I do'nt understand how people do not see how self-serving she is.

Can she make up here mind what she wants and what is important. Is it PLEDGE DELEGATES, SUPER DELEGATES, BIG STATES, POPULAR VOTES, HARD WORKING WHITE UNEDUCATED VOTERS. I am getting confused with the schizo behavior. I used to like her but I am glad I saw the many hers. OBAMA 08, 12!!!!!! Presidental and Intelligence to lead.

To accept gracefully a defeat shows character and maturity.

Billie Robberstad….
Seems to me all the anger at the Clintons tonight is a reflection of her campaign tactics, nothing more. What needs to change is politics in America, not the people. We are told so many lies by our leaders that we get use to them. Hillary is using old school slash and burn tactics to try and win at all cost and Obamas campaign has enlightened us some what. We don’t have to accept that because her name is Clinton and she was first lady she is qualified. We don’t have to accept she has the mystical 35 years of experience just because she says she does. Remember Bush tactic number one. If you repeat the propaganda enough times people begin to believe it. Well this time we are not buying it. She is not ahead in the popular vote and she darn well knows it. Disenfranchising caucus states is a far cry from one “citizen one vote”. Time for a new approach. Time for more honesty from our leaders. Time for Obama.

Wasnt the same process that elected her husband president?

This woman has no shame. It's all about her. Since she didnt win, the rules and process that elected her husband has to be changed.

Some people.

"Thanks to 'Experience' we are paying $4 for a gallon of gas. We want more 'Experience, please."

Generally i hate if someone tries to change the rule of a game cause he or she is loosing... I hate that!!

Hillary why didn't you make all these proposals at the beginning...

Then you had a comfortable lead over Obama. All was fine!

There was no noise about Florida and Michigan. Today you are loosing, then DNC has to change this or that or that... what is all this. Presidents or nominees are not only found in the Clinton's clan!!

Desperation should not make you do stupid stuffs, just give people a break!

WE THE PEOPLE

"I'm a big believer in one person one vote," says Hillary Clinton. "In fact, I'm leading in the popular vote...as long as voters in caucus states like Washington, Iowa, Nevada, and Maine aren't counted. It also helps that the people of Michigan who supported my opponent couldn't vote for him since he wasn't on the ballot. Good thing MY name was on the ballot. It really helps me with the popular vote. Did I mention how much I believe in democracy? Democracy's great, because you can really manipulate the data and come to whatever conclusion you want."

Lisa,OH....you are just as delusional as the one you support

God help her keep her in good state of mind.. I think she is getting desparate and might turn completely insane soon..

When she had lead in superdelegates she was saying that superdelegates should pick her as nominee. In the beginning of the campaign when FL and MI were penalized she didn't object it. when she started trailing she started crying foul over it..

Now she is saying that if Democrat nomination process was similar to Republic nomination process she would have won. She is also asking the process to be changed so that she can become the nominee..

I think if by some miracle she becomes democrat nominee and in nov election she starts loosing to McBush, she might even say that US election process is wrong and she should be made the president without a election..

Gad bless her, give her courage to accept the reality and save her the agony of becoming insane.

To Billie Robberstad
Not people of America have begun this but Clinton. Several months ago there was other situation and people could not decide for whom to vote because people liked both the candidates – Obama and Clinton.
Clinton with her own hands has destroyed all because her ego and thirst of authority more than love, trust, belief…
People of America have suffered and therefore they are angry.
Clinton will be rescueed as always, people …. I am not sure if you will have McCain.
Remember what kind of what there was a campaign had Hillary Clinton... It was full of rage, injustice, aggression, lie, even racism...
Who loves when to be deceived? People angry because them have deceived.
Hate comes back to Hillary. You have truly told, but were mistaken that was the first, and that the second. Hillary`s hate was the first and it has returned to her.

Sorry for my English.

Obama will win or Stand on his own. Along with most of the World who supports Him. WE ARE THE ONE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

It shows that if the wasn't democracy in the U.S, Hillary Clinton would have done everything possible to over turn the results of the primaries and caucuses and also the rules.

When she mentioned the killing of Bobby Kennedy in this process, it shows how far this woman can go. Before the process, the rules were there to all the contenders and the 2025/26 delegates needed to win and that Florida and Michigan weren't going to count, that she accepted. But since she knew she was going to win the nomination, now this woman and her band are dividing the party and diminishing the party's chances of winning in the fall.

Her followers need to examine their consciences whether that is the experience their leader has shown them. If she cannot handle her campaign, then how could she handle the U.S and the world's problems.

This this woman for real?

This is not an issue,people are selfish and want things to be done to favoure them.The rules should be changed because somebody is behind and really need Florida.The system of Democrats is bad now because Clinton did not win,let me remind you that the same system made her husband president of the United States,it was good system then because it favoures the Clintons,now it did not favoure them,it should be changed.God save us.Li

Poor girl Hillary is to desperate... She only wants to remain on the race for her own interest – NOT FOR AMERICA! Simply, to raise funds, to pay up the huge debts awaiting.

I thought Americans are wise and smart, how were you able to be persuaded by Barak Hussein Obama? Just by his speeches? Have you not noticed his attitude and character? He's a fake guy, and I know that most of us have observed his character. Before, he never wear an American flag pin because of his arrogance and never listen to the national anthem because of his bad character, now he started to change his attitude because he's aking for something. There is no genuinity in his personality, he just pretend but just by this time in order to convince people that he is the right guy. Actually he's an anti white Americans please check his past who he was. When the people love apples he too, when you like to eat pepper he likes more than you. Beware of this guy, he's a big liability!! Please wake up guys. God Bless America!!!!

They will now be shoving her out!

HILLARY THINKS THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND HER. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN GOOD ENOUGH FOR PREVIOUS CANDIDATES, WHO PLAYED BY THE RULES,... BUT ALONG COMES HILLARY, AND EVERYTHING MUST CONFORM TO HER SPECIFICATIONS. DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR.

I had respect for Hillary until she ran all of the spiteful things against Obama which in turn ran against the Democratic Party. Hillary stands for, in principle, the exact same things as the Democratic nominee but out of spite, her supporters would rather write in Clinton or vote McCain. If you do this, you truly don't care about policies and would rather have another 4 years of Bush, which however Elitist it my sound is the wrong direction.

Hillary has much more to worry about than changing the Democratic nomination process. She's got some damage control to do after inserting her foot into her mouth again. Her insensitive comments about RFK will not sit well with the Kennedy's and the American people in the wake of Edward's diagnoses of brain cancer – these poor choice of words, while they might not have been intended to offend, certainly they will be seen as cold and heartless.

When Hillary Clinton referred Barack Obama's comments about poor people turning to God and religion to escape their problems before the Pennsylvania primaries as out of touch, Obama could certainly fire back and say Clinton's comments are indicative of how others around the world see the U.S. as cruel disingenuous people with no regard for others and their feelings.

If Hillary thought people were pushing her out of the race before her comments, they will now be pushing her out!

I'm completely flabbergasted! This woman has lost it! I guess she has threatened the remaining uncommitted superdelegates, because they should be able to see that Hillary is crazy and does not have the best interest of the American people in mind. STOP HER!!!

I wholly agree with what she's saying, and there are superdelegates themselves wondering what legitimate role they could have, as 'party elites', in a democratic process.

However, for Clinton to be saying it given her position in the current race sounds suspiciously like sour grapes. It also sounds like she's preparing to go to the DNC with a fight to change the rules before this process is over.

I think that sen Clinton needs to think about what she is saying before she says it. She wants to say she is leading in the popular vote? Well only if you count florida and michigan. But if Senator Clinton wants to count michigan then the election results are unfair. She says she wants a fair election, but Senator Obama took his name off of the michigan primary so you can not justify her win in that state as being a fair result.
So if you do not count michigan but you do count florida, then she is not leading the popular vote. she needs to get her facts straight.

Now thats real " Change " needed in the country. One person one vote...none of this caucus stuff..delegates & superdelegates...stupidest election system in the world. It eliminates democracy...its a who can bribe the best contest or better known as a "Banana Republic" which is now the case.

Yes, We changed it for your husband to win in 92 and now we need to change it again for you to win. Hail Clintons..oh masters!

Yes Hillary take them to the convention and send the Obamacrats packing. If you can't win when the ducks are stacked against you then play the cards your handed. This is a democracy not an obamacracy. GO HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION AND WIN ON THE SECOND BALLOT. The first ballot count is going to be 1660 pledged delegates to 1500 real delegates no winner.

Clinton said "she win in key states like Florida" the last time I checked Obama didn't campaign in Florida. Hillary went 3 times in Florida for so call fund raising.
When asked about her chances in South Dakota she said "she is “racing against the wind here” because Obama has “a lot of the institutional support, a lot of the political establishment” in the state.
She seems to forget she had the institutional support and the political establishment in Pennsylvania.
I believe she will have anyway the hard working non educated white in South Dakota.
HILLARY STOP THE WHINNING IT'S TIME TO BOW OUT.

CHANGE THE RULES HE BEAT ME. COME ON BILL CHaNGE THE RULES AND LET ME WIN. what a selfish air bag. had you won you would have been flying high now BARACK should leave the nomination give you minus the black votes minus the young votes minus the independents and leave you with RUSH LIMBAUGH's Republicans who helped you in the prinaries. SICKO. HILLO and BILLO

Give it a rest already. Talking about changing the rules during the game is just poor sportsmanship and not worthy of someone claiming to be worthy of the presidency.

- The system was just fine when the "institutional" support was given to the well known 'Clinton' brand name at the start of this contest.

- The DNC rules to penalize Florida & Michigan were just fine, when Hillary was leading by a large gap in the polls – at the start of the contest.

- Hillary won't 'disenfranchise' the voters of 2 states that snubbed the DNC rules, but she doesn't mind discounting the results earned in the states that have held caucuses – So now Florida/Michigan voters are important, and Iowa voters are not.

- We hear of wide victories in Kentucky and West Virginia, but nothing of the trouncing received in North Carolina and Oregon. Are you saying that the voters in some states are more important than others Hillary?

To all the Clinton supporters who want to take their ball home and not play in November if Obama wins the nomination: Allowing John McCain to win in November would be the greatest disservice you could make, to the candidate you claim to support so ardently. For 8 years, the real democrats have lamented losing Florida because some decided to vote for Ralph Nadar. Clinton and Obama are almost identical in what they want to achieve, differing only in how they want to do it. For all we know, neither of their plans may be successful. We can only hope.

Democrats '08

Furthermore, why does everyone want her to drop out...even if she loses (which she probably will)....isn't it important for everyone to get a chance to vote? Should not Puerot Rico, Montana, SD have a say? Or do they not matter? Furthermore, I always thought that Democrats were for the underdog...gays/lesbians, african americans, women, etc and have always said to fight for what you believe in? Don't give up? And now people of that party are saying..quit! get out! And worse yet..name calling, saying she is pathetic, she's mental, etc.

Believe me..if the rolls were reversed and Obama was in her situation..1) He would be doing the same tactics as her and 2) His supporters would be calling everyone else racist.

Hardcore Self Destruction.

I'd say stop while you're ahead to Hillary, but she's already done too much damage to everyone including herself.

She just cannot accept that she's lost this. She started with every advantage running virtually as the incumbent. Now she wants to change all the rules. Hey maybe she'd like this change....maybe we should only count the states that she won.

I love this "popular vote" argument though. From the person so adamant about every vote counting is so willing to throw out 14 states. Yep in order to come up with her leading the popular vote you cannot count any of the 14 caucus states. Oh and all those uncommitted votes in Michigan? Yep gotta throw those out as well, can't award those to Obama.

Thank God there's only only about a week and half left in this contest; I'm afraid at the pace Hillary is going she is going to do irreparable damage to her political career.

Along the campaign she's pulled every card, every stop, and every excuse she can find to be on top of the nomination. Just HOW can she bow out 'gracefully" now? I'm glad that throughout this campaign, her true colors have shown. Because she will not win this nomination, she will PUSH Chelsea in the future and win vicariously through her. Best of luck, Chelsea...

It's bad enough us citizens do not have the full say in November. At least the Republicans allow ONLY THE PEOPLE to choose their nominee, regardless of how many states play a major role. The least the Democratic Party could do is allow US PEOPLE to choose our nominee, and not leave it up to "super delegates".

uhhhh.... pauline, the voters did pick. They chose Obama. He has the lead in every category. The super delegates just widened his lead that he already had.

Go to clear politics and you will see that she is ahead in the popular vote even if you count the coucus states.

I love Americans, I love USA and I love the world, I am very much concerned for this election, the contest between Hillary and Barak is quite popular in the whole world. So many people outside USA hate Americans because of jealousy and it's a fact. Arabs and muslim countries hate Americans except Kuwait, if you talk American they consider it as white people and this constest between Hillary and Barak are considred by them between an American (Hillary) and a Muslim (Obama) because of his full name which is purely muslim which actually Barak was before he converted into Christian 20 yrs ago (why? because of his goal in life to strengthen and support his origin of belief). That is why you may be surprsed that BHO had showered by donations because of this pelople who contributed to him. For them their time had come that one of their brothers will lead to help them and destroy the power of the USA. I am not a supporter of any candidate but please make up your mind, I know that the angel will guide you one of these days and will wake you up in your bad dreams. Americans please save your country and the world. CNN please post this, this is very important. we must help one another, we must help the mandkind, we must save the earth!!!! There is a bogus person pretending to be a nice guy!!

funny thing lol. and why she didnt mention about this before the primaries kicked off? why only now?why only when she's losing badly to obama in superdelegates count?

she's getting more desperate now..that is just pathetic..

Clintons are like roaches, they just keep coming back! you gotta finish em once for all.

I'm President, I won by SCRABBLE RULES!!!

Wow, I recall reading the comments from a Hillary supporter after Iowa spouting off that "It's all about the delegates Obama newbies!"

Funny how it was fair 21 debates ago and now it isn't. Let me make it perfectly clear: "If this nomination is not decided by June 4th, there will be a very heavy price to pay!"

ABC Forever!

So true she is. How can we let a bunch of Republican states pick a nimonie? That is beyond understanding ...

No wait it's scrabble rules "i've won the states with the most states that have more value in scrabble rules' Idiots.

This is the most pathetic, ridiculous group of voters. I joined the democratic party because I thought they were more open minded, liberal, accepting and understand. Reading blog after blog of hate, complaining, and self righteousness...I think I'll go back to the Republican Party. Unfortunately, I've now learned the Dems are no better than the Republicans but worse..hypocritical. I for one want no part of a party that is so hateful to each other.

What really needs change is your ego...up to now I used to respect you. I now know that you are a sick woman blinded by ego. Anybody who in some way has a wish for his opponents’ death so that he can be a president is a sick person. He is not even your real opponent if you have principle. For you it is not about principle it is all about power. You were republican until you met Bill...you could switch back to Republican if they promised you the nomination...there is no doubt. Anyway, you will be part of history not for what you real are but for a woman who fought to be the first Democratic Party nominee. The truth is you should be in the history book for the woman who wished her opponent death so that she can be the nominee.

yes, a topic for FUTURE debates: particularly at a time when here answer wont translate into either:

a) "There is always hope that the superdelegates will override the also-important votes for Obama"

or

b) "There is no hope and I will lose this election. Why are you all still here?"

To the "uneducated" hillary supporters, I will sum up the most important lesson you can learn after high school:

Someone is always better than you at something, but it doesn't matter. You don't need to retaliate by pretending to be PROUD of it – it simply doesn't matter.

Any system that doesn't declare her the winner is flawed, according to her. She knew the rules going in. Had she not done such a poor job managing her campaign, she might be in a different place. Sour grapes... sour grapes... sour grapes. She doesn't deserve the nomination and she's doing a pretty good job of self-destructing, making sure she doesn't get it. The smart thing would have been to suspend her campaign after Kentucky, when she could have left on a high note. Now she just looks sad and pathetic.

Of course she wants it to change–she not winning. I've always like the fact the delegates are based on the precentage. Honestly, if someone wins 51% v 49% should they get all the delegates? Seems more democratic to me. All the folks who they it should change would you still be saying this Obama was staying this? Then she will bring up MI and FL–guess what they knew what would happen if they moved up their primiaries up. She doesn't do well in caucaus; so let get rid of those too. The longer the race continues; the more I loose respect for for her. She rather destroy party; than united it. Just shameful.

hillaryclinton is the most experiance and nost smartes person out of the three runnjng . and she should get the supperdegates to vote her in if they want to win.

I think women should stop blindly supporting Hillary. Everytime I see a comment supporting her, I look at the name and loe and behold its a woman. Come on, please. I really wanted to see a woman in the white house. Just not THIS woman. She is one of the most viciously ambitious and conniving women I have ever seen. And today she suggested, in a way, that she is waiting for something terrible to happen to Obama.

This is a terrible woman and shame on women who blindly follow her just because she is one.

Liar Liar {Pants suits on fire]!!

Too many states are trying to leapfrog over other states primaries so they'll have a say. (which they've hadn't had much say since who knows when). This is getting out of control. At this rate the 2020 election will start in October of 2018. It's ridiculous.

One idea is 4 different rounds of primaries. Split the states in 4 different voting groups and rotate the dates every 4 year election cycle.

It would make more sense than the system we have now.

i predict she will ask her supporters to write her in when she loses the nomination, ha, ha, ha, wont that be funny, she could play spoiler to the dems,,,, the best party to beat democrats are the democrats,,,,, we can sure screw up a wet dream folks

It's a joke to have the "math" be the deciding factor- she is more electable- he's taken advantage of caucuses that don't mean didly- just symbolic- like Iowa- what a joke. They should have winner take all like the Republicans- no wonder they keep winning the white house with losers like Bush- it is pathetic- and now we end up with yet another male effete elite from Harvard Law school- he's another idiot from the skull and bones club- oh who happens to be black- why do u think all the Alpha Male dogs of the party are supporting him- Kerry, Kennedy, Biden, Dodd, Edwards- good ole boys! The Frat House mentality is what rules Washington- there's no hope or change there SWEETIE- business as usual!!!

fuzzy math all over again

I must say I;ve never been so ashamed of the people in America, as I am in this presidental race. And so much hate . Especially about the Clintons. Where are peoples brains any way.In watching and listening to all the hate on some one that has done nothing to these hate mongers. It makes me sick to think every thing Hillery says, they try and make something bad out of. But they are acting like Oboma is a God. Better wake up America you are promoting so much hate.aaaaIIt will come back one day to haunt you.

Everyone needs to let up on Hillary, that includes you Brittany, she has the right to speak whatever is on her mind and she also has a write to stay in till June 3rd when all primaries have finished and the superdelegates have weighed in.

Hillary want to bend the rules when she is losing. This woman must be checked by a doctor for mental disorder.

She expect some lunatic may kill OBAMA. Otherwise she has no reason to remind the murder of Robert Kenedy.

She can go and settle in Iraq.

Does she still here? Oh my...
This woman does not have any respect even for herself.
So sad... so shame...

Had there never been superdelegates, Clinton would never had had a lead going into Iowa. The only reason Obama had to catch up to Hillary was because of the 100 more superdelegates Clinton had prior to Iowa.

Either way, Obama has the majority of pledged delegates already and will win the nomination.

Im all for Clinton finishing her race, and am especially against the Electoral College and the idea of delegates as opposed to popular vote. But out nominating process is over, and Clinton coming out NOW to talk about changing the system is just not good politics.

Obama and Dems 08

Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote can only come from her counting the Michigan and Florida primaries. The people of those states need to have their say. However, in Michigan, Barack was not even on the ticket, and in Florida, Barack did not campaign because he was obeying the rules of the Democratic Party. Hillary should not be able to win with some kind of backdoor strategy that is in my opinion, ethically unsound.

" A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends on the character of the user."
the great man/ president that so eloquently spoke those words was theodore rosevelt and oh how ture they ring today. it has been absurd yet quite amusing watching the farse that is the '08 race for the democrate nominee. thus far both canidates have shown an uncanny ability to back track statements almost as fast as the words leave their mouths. makes you wonder if they will actually stand by all promises and declarations they have made thus far.
but lets go back to the electoral process. when you cut through all the legal jargon and red tape what it boils down to is only a select few of "super," peoples vote really truely count. why is that? who are these people? is that what the founding fathers invisioned when they wrote constitution?
well to answer one of these viable questions; most of the "super delegates," are senators and congress men/ women, and other party affiliated politicians. now that bring us back to the quote at the begining of this rant; what make you think these "super delegates," have your best interest in mind? they are simpling following the heard. the pack is safe. they hope they are choosing the right canidate so their job is safe. like any one of us that has had a fear of getting fired(and im sure all of us have at one point or another) the super delegates are hoping for re-election or even better an invitation to the grow-ups table at thanksgiving.
the system is flawed. your voice is not being heard. (sigh)for once i agree with Hillary Clinton. But what would she be saying if she had th lions share of "super delegates?"

I really like your idea Patty...

"All states voting on the same date; one person, one vote. The candidate who gets the majority of the popular vote would win the party nomination."

The only bad thing is that the candidates wont be vetted as well going into the competition. It should be like this or as much like the GE as possible.

So she thinks there should be as much democracy as possible. Unless, of course, she's the one losing, in which case superdelegates should take matters into their own hands. Right.

so let me get this straight... when she was leading amongst superdelegates, she thought they were a good thing and that they had every right to exercise their best judgment..now that she is losing ... well it's a a different story. This is so typical of her whole campaign ...she changes her position based upon what she feels will help her win... She needs to do the right thing and leave this race with what little (IF ANY) dignity she has left...

Wait! Wait! Let me see if I've got this straight. When the election process began, she had no problems with the way candidates were nominated, the role of superdelegates, or caucuses; NOW SHE DOES! Bill Clinton had no issues with this process, nor Al Gore and John Kerry. So far, the superdelegates haven't gone against the will of the people to change the outcome. This nominating procedure is the most democratic of any other national process; lesser known candidates are given the opportunity to go up against more well known/powerful rivals and have a fighting chance. Bravo! Obama played a better game than Hilary, and has been consistent in following the rules. By every current criteria (delegates, superdelegates, popular vote, number of states), he leads. The people seem to be speaking loud and clear. Obama has, clearly, earned the right to fight and succeed, or fail, in the general election. At most this process may need some tweaking; a more reasonable penalty for states that violate the rules; less importance applied to the Iowa caucus; fewer superdelegates; but, this current process has given the Democratic party a shot in the arm and the most exciting primary in over 50 years!

One word. Pathetic. She agreed to the DNC rules at the beginning. She has found no cause to complain against the rules until now when she has realized she's losing the race.

will the SUPERDELEGATES please put an end to this nonsense. I beg you. I know you are waiting for a graceful exit by Hillary, but it looks abundantly clear that actions do not indicate she is headed in that direction. Instead of UNITING the democratic party, in just one week she has 1. cried sexism 2. trashed the nominating process and finally 3. is claiming that Obama is not electable.

How can she in 2-4 weeks time completely do a 180 and start supporting Obama? All of this while her crazy husband pushes her for the VP slot...

Again, please SUPERDELEGATES, put an end to this madness. People are itching to start taking shots at mccain and you guys are impeding that. STOP worrying about your own political motives and come out to support OBAMA and UNITE our beloved party.

(CNN, please post this. People need to hear this)

Would she be arguing that the nomination process needs to change if she were ahead in delegate count?

Hillary Clinton has always thought highly of herself.

I would agree Hillary. We need to go to a system more like the Republicans, without caucuses, without giving smaller states more power than they would have in the GE, and without allowing candidates to drop out before everyone gets to vote. Also, I believe that New Hampshire, SC, and Iowa's votes should not count more then mine bc my state votes later. They got to choose btw like 6 candidates and by the time I got to vote it was only btw 2. The republican nomination was already decided by the time i got to vote so ohio republicans had no voice in the nominee. That sucks!

Hang in there Hillary...TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION!!!
WE ARE BEHInD YOU 100%

She keeps changing her story line as she pleases; definitely a sign of "DESPARATION". In fact she can't fathom that she is not and she can not be, and she will not the nominee.

My oh my! A Clinton lose the nomination, too much for her.

A.M.
Houston, Texas

Yes, right ... establish the "Make the Clintons win" rule – or just make them royal.

"WAAAH! I'm losing so let's change the rules!"

Grow up! Sometimes LIFE doesn't always give you what you want.

After tonight's "apology" I wouldn't vote for her for dog catcher.

Nobody has EVER complained about caucuses.

Not even when her husband WON them, nor before the process started this year.

She lost them, THAT is why she thinks they are unfair.

Learn to lose gracefully.

She is in the middle of some kind of breakdown...

She isn't even funny anymore, this is sad and it needs to stop.

This RFK thing is going to destroy her.

This woman is pathetic. She seem to imply and hope that some one might kill Obama so that she can be the President. Every thing she say has no ethics. I wonder what this blabber mouth will say to the world if she is the president. Is she going through some sort of depression.

Please super delagates, Get this monster out of the race, She has not only lost it, but now she is openly talking some of the darkest rhetoric that one can imagine.

Victory in the popular vote ?
Liar! Cheater!

i think they should only count that big states...no wait, the swing states, no wait the racist states, no wait, only the states that vote for her.....let's not count any states that break the rules unless we need them to make our case. lets change the rules several times during the race and put importance on whatever statistic will give me the edge. my head is spinning with the desperation she's been evidencing. i think we're really sending a great example to the young girls for which she holds herself as a role model. lets tell them that it's okay to change the rules whenever you want as long as they rule changes benefit you. that's a great message to send.

Mrs Clinton never suggested a change in the democratic nomination process until she realized that she lost control of the process. We all know that Math is a big problem in this country. Mrs clinton needs some help in Math. Someone out there can help her!!!

Does she still here? Again?
She does not have any respect even for herself.
Shame.

JUST KEEP ON AND YOU CAN CHANGE IT! HANG IN THERE HILLARY. YOUR THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BEAT MACAIN.

Hiliary Clinton needs to stop bashing Senator Obama!! There is no way on God's green earth she can overtake his leads, no matter how much she and her lynching gang twist and spin the numbers. It seems her campaign is all about Florida, Michigan, and how she is in the lead and bashing the frontrunner. It is time for Hilliary to accept the fact that Senator Obama needs only about 56 delegates to win the nomination while she needs 246. She sure is bashing the Democratic Partty too, the rules are unfair, if they used "the winner takes all delegates rule like the Republicans, I'd be the nominee", she does not like caucus states, she thinks they don't count and that they are Democratic, they called the small primary states not important and they did not matter. That woman has shown her incompetence, divisiveness, and destructive characteristics and proven beyond a shadow of a doubt she is not fit to lead our country. Unfortunately, she lives in a world of IFs and cannot see reality.

Clinton math is as bad as Bush math .

This woman has become so desparate of late that inconsistence makes her sound like a hollow gong being hit by a one year old baby.

WHERE EXACTLY DOES SHE STAND? iS SHE GOING TO JOIN THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEIR NOMINATION PROCESS ATTRACTS HER?

By her own words the Dem's nomination process has to change-
because she is drawing. Of course in the future not in the middle of the game.Her husband and chief campaigner was elected with the same rules in place but never complained.

She nowhere near NY 2000 again.

Hillary is right . Caucus's are a joke . This 'distribution' of delegates system is also stupid. They should just mimic the general election .

They shoud do away with super delegates completely , but the elected delegates can change their mind if the candidate becomes unelectable .

Would she have any of these feeling if she was the leader and presumptive nominee? Last year she said Michigan votes did not matter, when she thought she had the nomination locked. Now, she's arguing every day that the Michigan votes need to count and that the democratic process needs to be changed. Early in the process she overplayed her hand and got overly confident and took the voters for granted and under-estimated Obama's appeal and message. Amazing, truly is, because if she was the leader and Obama was saying what she is – she'd ignore him. This is what she gets for thinking all she had to do was "show-up" and walk into the nomination, all because she's a "Clinton" and has the ego the size of a super-nova.

I'm a 39 yr old black man and was actually going to vote for her in the beginning, but her and Bill's borderline and suggestive racist comments about Obama in the beginning turned me off (comparing his win in S.C. to Jesse Jackson, and subliminally saying to voters "you don't really want a black man for pres do you?". Shame, because she had my vote and lost it, no one to blame for all this but her self, her husband, and her admin leaders.

Yes Hillary , you are losing so lets just change the rules ( that you agreed to ) to accommodate YOU and so that YOU can be President ! The woman is pathetic . They will probably have to drag her away from the podium kicking , biting and screaming as Obama accepts the nomination .

HRC,

Just go away already!

RM

Say hi to the leprechauns and unicorns for me whilst you go skipping through your fantasy land, Hillary.

Who had the "institutional support" thus far?

Wow. So just weeks after she kept rambling about how superdelegates were a good thing and they shouldn't necessarily hold to the will of voters, she is suddenly extremely concerned about the voters' will?

When will this woman stop?

Hillary has just become pathetic. Excuse, after excuse, after excuse. She played the game poorly and misread the American people. She continues to lie. She is not leading the popular vote. She is only winning when she counts the states she deems important. She disregards any state she scores poorly in, as if they don't count as democrats. She was all for the Supers and now she is against them because they aren't voting her way. She wants a system in place that would favor her heavily instead of a system that has been a place for some time. She acts as if the rules were changed by Obama to steal her election. It seems to me Obama had the foresight to do his homework and understand how the process of being elected works. HRC had her husbands experience behind her and still ignored the cacuases and all of Feb. Now she blames it on the system. She is a complete joke. Just keep spinning just as you do in NY where you promise jobs and NEVER deliver.

can someone please shut her up!! this lady lost her mind completely!!! i wonder if she consider hiring a killer as well..

She is right. The current process leaves to many holes for political munipulation. The DNC has not does their job.

Is there any downside to conducting the primary "election" of nominees by having all votes cast on the same date?

All states voting on the same date; one person, one vote. The candidate who gets the majority of the popular vote would win the party nomination.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?

First, its the voters that decide the nominee. Then its the superdelegates who have a responsibility to impose their superior judgement and experience. Now superdelegates are undemocratic and the whole system is wrong. (she's on record of saying all those things, by the way) Clinton will say anything to win, and every two months she tries to tell America that she is being slighted in some new way. Know what's unAmerican? Trying to change the rules at the end of the 4th quarter when you realize that everyone's heads are beginning to turn away. Need I remind you that she's 20 million dollars in debt? Yea, that means small-town diners in Iowa, PA, IN, NC... it means public universities 60K in the hole... and you would trust her with national economics? The democratic party HAS changed me... I'll never trust anything Clinton does, ever again.

If this woman does not need a lot of growing, she is mentally ill.

Every wise person in America came out to tell this woman some weeks ago, “It is over!” She refused to listen. See where she’s headed now …

Sharpton told her to go and come back another day because this one is over, she refused to listen … See where she’s headed now …

She has been telling us, “Politics is unpredictable.” We never knew what this woman had in mind until recently when after campaigning so hard, she opened up with the JFK remark. With all this woman has done now, who with all sincerity will ask this woman to come back another day?

Comrades, I submit, the slogan must change from “Hillary, it is over!!!” to “Hillary, you are finished!!!”

Hillary, you are finished!!!

Bill, you had been finished since 1999/2000!!!

Chelsea, I don’t know how to put your own. Chelsea, before you even nurture the idea, you are finished!!! Go home and have a life all you three. You are finished!!!

Obama for President of the United States of America 2008/2012

WHATS WITH THIS DELEGATES AND SUPER DELIGATES??
WHAT HAPPEN TO THE ONE VOTE COUNTED ONE VOTE ??/ WHEN I STARTED VOTING AT AGE OF 21 THATS THE WAY IT WAS ONE VOTE COUNTED ONE VOTE . ..WHATS THE USE OF VOTING IF SOME ONE ELSE DICIDES FOR US .WHO WILL BE THE CANADIATE ?
THANKS PAULINE FROM SMITHVILLE TN .

Let's face it, no one knows who is going to win which states until November actually gets here. My friend Hillary just needs to learn how to lose like an honorable, noble, mature adult. Oh wait, I forgot that those are qualities that she does not exhibit.

Oh please just because you have air in between your ears Mrs.Clinton don't expect us to really believe your hot air. All you want is to steal the election, you didn't mind that the caucuses were what they were until you started losing. Oh wait you agree to all the rules if you think you are winning however when you start losing i don't think it is fair because i am the only one who can win. If you are so high and mighty why are you losing this race?

And on your lies of having the most votes why is it you are the only one in the nation that really thinks you have the most votes? Oh wait i know because you want to not count the caucuses, and you want both Florida and Michigan to count with OBOMA getting no votes or delegates in michigan. Even if we decided Florida to give you what you wanted in Florida and we did 55/45% in Michigan you still lose both the popular vote and the delegate count.

A lie is a lie and you are all abouts lies lies and more lies. OH and i cant forget in closing. You are sick for your your comments on Kennedy death. And hoping that Oboma would die.

Because she didn't win, the process needs to change?

This woman is looking more and more like GWB every day. Thank you my fellow Ameicans for seeing this Clinton for what she is... less than, and without scruples. The candidate that was NOT ready on day 1.

Hillary, are you still in the country? You have no crediblity anymore (even though you had very little to begin with). I knew you were a vile, vicious, sad, looney woman but your RFK comments just topped it. I say comments b/c you said it more than 3 times. Tired? I don't think so.

I've known for a long time that judgment was coming out of your own mouth (i.e. Rocky), especially w/ the Goldilocks comment. Do you know what happened to Goldilocks in the story? She was run out of the Bears house, never to return.

That is what is going to happen to you. Goodbye and good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hilary needs to shut up. She lost... if she cared so much about florida and michigan she wouldn't have agreed to discounting them in the beginning. She is so power hungry that she wants to change the whole system to work for her. She's also an elitist wanting a few people to over rule the entire election. She's an idiot . I will debate anyone over this issue.

Totally agree with Hillary. Excluding millions of voters is a bad rule and it must be change.

Hillary win the popular vote.

Hillary 08!!

More of the "I'm so special, " Clintons changing the rules. If she supports the Republican rules and process, go join their part of exclusion.

She has lost all credibility in my eyes after the Bobby Kennedy remarks. I truly think she is obsessed with being President and will do and say anything to get elected.

I agree with Hillary. This election has been the most outrageous mess if unfairness that I have ever seen. The popular vote should be the only choice in any election now that it is the 21st century. The
electoral college should also be banned immediately. It is all set up so that cheating is easier done. Seems to me that the popular vote is the only vote for the people. The super delegates are certainly going to vote just the way they wish which makes it unfair totally. Our government is in such a mess that we need this all cleaned up.

Boy does it! This whole process was a total chaotic mess. Caucuses or primaries? Caucuses AND primaries? That's crazy. And why is the process so long? Two years is ridiculous. The money spent on these races is criminal. No one even starts looking at the debates until about six months before the primaries begin.

The parties had better get it together soon, or a lot of people are going to be moving to the independent category.

Every little thing that Sen. Clinton says are being criticized but if Obama speaks negatively he's being praise and popularized. It's really a fact that Barak Hussein Obama will never win this election, his personality is a big question. Hillary Clinton had more supports except for cash donation which Barak Hussein Obama had collected from muslim people outside the USA.

Hillary is so desperate – she changes like the wind, whatever benefits her at the moment. When are we going to be rid of seeing and hearing her crazy remarks??????

Maybe so but it wont be changed now in the middle of the primaries just cause you've pretty much lost. Wow... Hillary wont let any stone (dirty trick) unturned.

Yeah, the new rule should be if someone with the last name Clinton runs, that person should automatically get the nomination )

Obama '08

what hillary cllinton is saying is inaccurate and even if a nominee should be by popular vote she does not have it. cause you can't count states when her oponent name was not on the ballot and her oponent never campaign int hose states either unfair. moreover, i have been folling the election from start and clinton was agruing on behalf of the delegates when he was in the lead and Obama was winning straight. when he beat her at super tuesday and also had 10 consecutive wins striaght after including the international primary makes 11 wins. he had more votes by far and she making the agruement aboout delegates and superdelegates at that time. now she is not cause Obama took them all and it doesn't not matter about the polls match right about now people will come around too him cause he is still new and give him that chance and you'll see. after all he is very new and is doing tremedously well against her!!

Sure, let's change it right in the middle of a contest.... good idea!

Yes, it needs to change, but the proper channels should be used to do so.

"one person one vote"!!! What the heck are you thinking, Hillary! Are you forgetting which party this is?
Vote early, vote often, have ballots, have caucuses, have both in some states, throw it all in a pot and stir it up, then apply a probabilistic algorithm so we can figure out who the voters really meant to vote for since we know they're too stupid to make an intelligent and informed choice on their own, then throw in a proportionality equation..............whew! I'd go on, but it starts to get a little complicated after this.

How can the rules be changed Now. Hillary agreed to the rules of the DNC as did the other candidates. Hillary did not expect to LOSE, so now that she will lose she wants to change the rules so it will help her win. It's unbelieveable. Now she is referring to Obama as the establishment, & having institutional support in S Dakota. Obama has always been the underdog, the Clinton name is the establishment, the political machine, and in spite of the Clinton name Obama is winning and will be the Nominee, because he is a once in a generation phenomenon and the next Pres of the U.S.A. Yes We Can!!

Whatever works for you Hillary!

GO HILLARY! A full 97% of Obama's delegate lead comes from wins in the low turn-out caucuses that attracted only 1,086,000 voters. So, 97% of Obama's "elected" delegate lead is a result of contests that attracted less than 3.4% of all of the votes cast to date. To compare "democratically," a primary-elected delegate represents an average of 12,283 voters, while a caucus-elected delegate represents only 2,073 voters – making caucus voters 5.9 times more important than primary voters. The system needs to change, period. It's not representative.

In my view, when you need to change government, you clean house when government is not functioning properly and the need is, therefore, to make government function better–in a new, more effective way. Perhaps Obama is that candidate. However, when your government has been destroyed along with your international reputation, and your house is burning down, the last thing you need is to clean house with a paradigm-changing candidate. We need to put out the fire and fix what has been and is being destroyed, and then go about cleaning house later. The only candidate who has the plan, the ability, and the experience to stem the damage done is Hillary.

Your Question:

Ask anybody who is supporting my opponent to please tell you how he gets to the 270 electoral votes that we must have to win.

Answer:

In November when the contest will be between Obama and McCain, you will see. It is going to be a different ball game. He will get the 270 electoral votes the same way he defeated you in the democratic primaries which you started out with so many superdelegates.

Analysis:

Hillary, you have become so shamefully desparate that you can no longer reason properly. Please, get out of the race now!!!

"Despite her apparent dig against superdelegates, Clinton and her campaign have routinely argued that those party elites should be able to exercise their independent judgment in choosing a nominee, regardless of vote totals or pledged delegate counts"

Incredible...

"...because Obama has “a lot of the institutional support, a lot of the political establishment” in the state"

Ha! Hillary Clinton is the epitome of political institution. Everyone is an institutional outsider compared to the woman.

Unfortunately, she does the female species no justice. Worse yet, the inspirational democractic alternative – Sen. Obama – no longer seems so appealing as he engages in the same sort of propagandizing shenanigans the neo-cons of the past decade have lavished in. Then there is McCain, quickly shaping up to be Bush III.

And remember, it's not the imminent collapse of modern civilization you should be worried about folks (brought about by an exhausted transportation system), but those terrorists who have wrought so much imaginary destruction; so make sure you vote for whichever candidate makes you FEEL safer, not which ever candidate will save civilization and the environment (which we sort of need intact to survive and all).

Victory in the popular vote?
Liar! Cheater!

Hillarious!!!

Obama for President of the United States of America 2008/2012

The problem is this: she might be correct on how she can win in the general election with the polling data she has obtained. Her problem is she didn't win with her original polling data she had against Obama. Now she will not win the nominee unless some type of Mutiny on the Bounty happens in the Democratic Party. What needs to happen if she is a team player, she needs to make it her personal business to unify the democratic party. She needs to go after those bitter women voters who claim Obama's a sexist ( over looking Bill Clinton) and the rest of her core voter's, for the Dems to win the general election.

If Obama uses his campaign money to pay for Hillary's debt, he will make many contributors unhappy. How can he use the money meant for his positive campaign for Hillary's negative campaign instead?

Hillary acts like a kid kicking on the floor of a candy store, refusing to leave unless her parent buys her the candy she wants. It is not Obama's responsibility to save her face. She messed up her own face. Let her get another plastic surgery herself. If Obama wants to succeed, he has to practice disciplines and holding people responsible for what they do, starting now.

I agree with Hillary, and i'm a Barack Obama Supporter. Oh wait I agree with her because even if Barack Obama only received 30 percent of the Michigan and Florida votes (Which he almost surely would have) he would still be way ahead in the popular votes and states won. I appreciate what Hillary has done, she has exposed the democratic party as a party in need of reform, as an independant who is supporting Barack Obama his message of wanting to unify the party is strengthened by her continued refusal to accept party rules.

maybe we should get a nomination first and actually have a Democrat Party nominee before we go counting our Electoral College Votes???

You, H.R. Clinton will still be in the White House come 2009-2012

You are absolutely correct, that the whole Democratic system has to be revamped, especially the in your face caucuses..

A vote is a very personal moment and it should be done in secrecy; not with opponents shouting in your face, that is undemocratic and very imtimidating to more delecate participants.

And let us stay in the adult world wherein if you win a state then it is winner take all and get rid of this kindergarten mentality, of everyone gets a little percentage...

And perhaps South Dakota will vote more overwhelming for you in their primary because they will see that you are definity the better future President.

She has been a long life democrat, the rules have never bothered her, because she is behind now she wants to change them, give me a break.

Obama '08

I agree with Sen. Clinton. I live in Montana, and our primary is set for June 3. Apparently my vote won't count for anything because the party–i.e. the delegates–appears already to have made its mind up. It's pretty disheartening and should be changed so that everyone's vote counts.

After the damage you've done to the party, ya think?!?!

Hillary, please do us all a favor and lay off your own Kool-Aid and retire to political purgatory where you belong.

I am sure she would think the rules were fine if she were ahead. Honestly, she comes off more and more desperate everyday. I don't really like to bash Clinton, but really, how can you defend comments like this? If you can't play the game by the rules, then don't play.

thank you mrs loser

What a sore loser. If Barack Obama were ahead in the popular vote and behind in the delegate count and making this argument, Clinton would be criticizing that "We need to honor the democratic rules and abide by the established delegate system, which has proven faithful throughout DNC history!"

She's a self-serving viper and I'll be glad to see her go come June.

Gimme a break, Hillary. Until you lost, the system seemed just fine to you.
You don't need a new system; you need rehab. Get HELP, please.

just can't stop laughing at this BS, the democratic party through past experience found this to be the best method to nominate someone. now here comes hillary who said nary a bad word about any rules or regulations the dnc had set up, until she fell behind so late in the game that the only way to victory was by changing those rules and regulations. now she is trying to get everyone to bye into her lame argument. hillary quit campaigning like a sore loser, you wanted to change these issues you should have spoke up in january before the process started and further stop patronizing florida and michigan, you were first in line to sign up for accepting the dnc policy on them when you didn't think it mattered, funny how things change and you can't do anything but stomp your feet isn't it.

Hillary, face the facts. You are behind. Even if you count both Florida's and Michigan's delegates, you are still behind (according to CNN's total delegate estimates). Plus, Michigan's delegates can't even be counted because Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot. Please, Hillary, come off the cloud of denial, admit you are behind, and work harder to get the votes you need.

Only when it suits our politician.

I just don't understand with all her arguements... I don't know whether this is stuborness or just madness.

Hillary believes in anything that will get her the nomination. One minute it's the voters, next it's...forget the voters, it's the Superdelegates. Wait, now it's the popular vote....but we don't count Caucus States or small states that voted for Obama. No, now it's the electorial college. Wait again, it may be by some big mishap to Obama. Now we need Michigan and Florida although a year ago she said their votes didn't matter. And the fact is, even with her excuses, most of her math is still flawed. Hillary is so tiresome, so desperate. Her tenacity has turned to tantrums, her fighting image to screeching absurdities. Please let's get this nightmare over.

Yes and its time dump the electorial college as well.

Ms. Clinton, How can I say this nicely, just shut up.Your beginning to make Bush look Presidential. After 7 years of Bush whining, America has had it.

You make me throw up...

Hillary Clinton seems prepared to use any spin, take any tact, do anything, say almost anything to seize the nomination. How amusing to see her now turn on the super delegates. Perhaps we will have 100's of "Judases", to group with Richardson and all the others who have stabbed her candidacy in the back. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Clinton's "victory" in the popular vote, her latest obfuscation, depends on counting Michigan votes for her and giving him none (since "he took his own name off the ballot") and ignoring those silly caucus votes that don't really count. Poppycock!

The most disturbing thing is the frenzy she whips up in various groups by telling them that she has been cheated: by sexism, the mainstream media, nasty tricks by that dirty campaign of Obama, and now, their disenfranchisement by the party "bosses", colluding with that devil Obama.

It will be plain to see, and it should be documented by the party for reference in 2012, whether she intends to sink Obama's campaign. If Hillary can't have it, she and Bill will see to it that the pretender to their throne will not have it either.

Go Hillary!!!! Hang in there, you are a champion no matter what happens.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
The Most Influential Female in American Politics because she has earned this position through hard work, intelligence and determination.

Hang in there Hillary!!!

You are right Hillary !

You go girl !

We will be with you all the way !

Exactly ..... somebody needs to explain how Hillary wins Texas by 100,000 votes and still comes up with less delegates in Texas than Obama.

what a load of crap !!!!

Amen to that!!! Then this mess the Democrats are in would never have happened! Hillary would be the nominee, and we would win in November. Instead, we will lose, if she is not the nominee. It is still possible, that sane party leaders will see the light. The people certainly have-hence the popular vote in which Hillary will soon lead.

Hillary is turning sour. Now if this had gone the way she wanted, she would have never even mentioned the primary need changing. 2 words. Sore Loser. come out of this peacefully HillRod. Dems need to UNITE.

One Thing I understand about Clintons they will not fall alone, they want to drag the DNC along with them as they are falling. America is not a personal property that you can change any thing that is not in your favor, I think is time the media should stop giving her free air time.

It seems like Senator Clinton is continuing to count electoral votes in a race against John McCain when she should have been counting delegates in a race against Senator Obama.
This is exactly the same kind of planning that got her into the trouble that she now finds herself in.
Additionally, to rely on the math of Karl Rove, who has been on the wrong side of predictions for the last few years is a real stretch.

Translation: Since I didn't win under the current system, it must be broken, so I am going to blame that system and suggest it be changed to one that would have favored me and not my opponents. Oh, and since it doesn't look like the superdelegates are going to give me a nomination I don't deserve, we should get rid of them and stick to the popular vote as long as the popular vote is tallied using my fuzzy math.

One point to think about. Since the people of MI and FL thought their vote wasn't going to count, how many of them decided not to vote?

If Hillary cared about these voters she should have made all these points a year ago, not now when she's losing.

If Hillary wants to change the rules for future elections, I have no problem with this sort of reform, but you can't change the rules in the 4th quarter.

It's official..This woman is smoking crack. She is on the pipe and she has gone crazy. Some one get her to rehab ASAP.

HILLARY CLINTON HITS A NEW LOW. ENOUGH SAID.

Pathetic......

Sure there are flaws just like there are in regular November election. One man, one vote should be the basis of Presidential election. But why change now when game is already started? Because it is convenient. Why did you sign for the rule to exclude Florida and Michigan? Where are your judgement? Hillary always changes her position whenever it is convenient to do so. How can you possibly ask people to support someone who have a judgemental problem? I am a Bill Clinton fan, but Hillary is not someone I can not support.

Wow...the bar changes like every hour for her. She said it was a delegate race and she reminded people of that constantly, then when she realized that wasn't going to happen it was oh who cares about what the voters think superdelegates need to exercise independent judgement...now it's something else???!

Sen. Clinton is absolutely right. If the DNC doesn't change the nominating system, we're going to lose a lot of democrats to the independent party. Having a small group of people pick the nominee is not democratic.

Have a little pride and face the truth.You lost!!! Now you want to change the rules now you are on the short end of the stick.. You showed your real you in this race in 08. I can never support you ever..Goodbye....!!!

She's done. After the RFK comments she'll be lucky to be elected as dog catcher in Podunk, WV.

i wonder how it is for Hillary.... being in la la land and all... where voodoo math rules, political pixie dust makes magic changes, some states are more important based upon her logic...

she must be tired spinning the multitude of desperate lies about how she's actually winning with a 'popular vote' that disenfranchizes several caucus states...

Hllary, are you tired yet? because I am... I love you... but you're killing me with this mess...

oh, i forgot... my opinion doesn't matter becasue I didn't vote for you.

She is right, check the current poll results at http://www.electoral-vote.com

Better than that she is actually ahead now in delegates elected in Primary states. Obama's lead in "pledged" delegates is now all caucus states and Edwards switches.

soo umm if she cant win the nominationby FOLLOWING the rules... How can she win the White House by following the rules? or are we going to have to change that too?

The point of a nomination is to come up with a strategy ti win the most delegates then focus on the general election. Obama is doing just that.

FLORIDA FOR Obama

"Despite her apparent dig against superdelegates, Clinton and her campaign have routinely argued that those party elites should be able to exercise their independent judgment in choosing a nominee, regardless of vote totals or pledged delegate counts."

I'm glad this paragraph was included, because that was the first thing that entered my mind.

I dunno... Obama did a pretty good job with change...

You are just complaining now Hillary. You thought you had the nomination in the bag going into Iowa.

As an Iowan, I saw right through you. It seems as if you did not want to be here campaigning. As if it was a 'waste of your time' because you expected to win here. And now you're wanting every vote counted because you are behind. It is no wonder you came in third here...

So, as usual, whatever makes her right is the right way to go, huh? Hillary, it's against the rules to change the rules in the middle of the game... in any game. Nobody likes a sore loser.

The process needs to remain the same. It should not be changed to make Sen. Clinton look good. Anyways, the states won in the primary does not exactly reflect the outcome of the general election. Rush Limbaugh will not be campaigning for Clinton in the fall.

Freud said it best:

Our "unconscious" motives are BEST expressed in SLIPS of the TONGUE (mis-speaking). Well Hillary just revealed her "unconscious feelings" about Obama!

Sad that she can make such a contradiction, out loud, that she can say superdelegates and the like shouldn't matter in the future, but then at the same time need them desperately to get her the nomination, and none of her supporters care! Why are Clinton supporters so blind as to the reality of this race? The people of the US elected Obama, plain and simple. If he had been of the ballot in Michigan, he would be ahead even by Clinton's ridiculous math, and she wouldn't be able to claim any of these things.

It's just really sad that after 8 years of Bush, we STILL haven't opened our eyes.

Go Hill-dawg! I love her and I will be VERY disappointed if she does not receive the nomination.

Hill '08

It's very likely that the nomination process will change, but not until AFTER it is over this time around. You should be worrying about repairing your reputation now, Clinton, because it's pretty clear your presidential aspirations are over.

No surprise here...Hillary is losing and it certainly cannot be her fault, so let's blame the process. This woman will do and say anything to get what she wants. PATHETIC.

the good thing is we are not in the third world country We don't change rule last minute to fulfill the dictetors need. Enough is enough just hung your jersey or whatever you have to hung.

This is a joke. This is the same woman who claimed some sort of huge victory in Pennsylvania after having huge advantages in endorsements from high-level politicians (senators, the governer) to local mayors of PA's biggest cities. She grew up there, but somehow after managing just point win in Pennsylvania, claimed some earth-shattering come-from-behind victory in the state. Now she's complaining that she's "running against the wind" in South Dakota. I see, Hillary. When you have all the advantages in a state, its a huge victory, but you are already making excuses when your opponent has more support in a contested state. It really has been truly amazing watching her twist reality day after day to suit her now hopeless candidacy.

Hillary is not electable from Day One.
How ironic the Democrats let her run this far!
Luckily, Obama will fix them up fast.

Is anyone really listening to this woman? Well let me tell you about those who I think do.

Its amazing that such an intelligent woman is supported by the most unintelligent in each state. I guess marketing yourself as a bitter hack goes along way...

Nearby, there is a Hillary headquarters and everyday I drive by and see the same racist over 40 white women out there parading around. They are typically over weight and look like they have been sipping on the Hillary kool aid way, try sugar free...

As far as sexism goes, Hillary Clinton acts and talks like a man, not a woman and appeals to the bitter mid 40's divorcee trying to put their life together who thinks they are still hip, but inside deeply insecure about aging and their role in life.

Hillary supporters are easy to spot, they are angry about everything and never make amends with those they be-little....I see them everyday.

First it's "MI and FL need to be punished" when she didn't need their votes, she thought....

Then it's "MI and FL need to count for civil rights' sake!!"

First it's "I am the inevitable nominee because I have so many superdelegates in my pocket"

Now it's "I am losing so we need to change the system"

CAN ANYONE FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE REALLY STANDS ON ANYTHING??

YES!! I have figured it out! She stands for anything that benefits THE CLINTONS and the Clintons ONLY.

Just do the best you can.

Tough cookies Hilly. The rules are the rules. You agreed to them now sit down and shut up before the secret service comes by to arrest you.

Here we go again. Moving the finish line. This is what we call a sore loser. I wonder how Bill could take years of her twisted logic.

This woman has just lost all respect and sense of reason.

How much longer are we going to have to listen to Hillary whine ?

Cause thats going to help her get elected!!!!!
