Over the last two days, I have tried to remain objective with Senator Clinton over her RFK reference. I do not believe she meant any harm to her fellow colleague, but regardless of the intent, the comment was completely inappropriate. As this primary has progressed, it has become more and more challenging for me to retain the respect I have long held for Senator Clinton.

If Clinton says she is the best candidate to go against Senator McCain, what is she waiting for to show it? She has wasted so much valuable time triangulating against a fellow Democrat (now I see what that term means), instead of going "toe to toe" with McCain. Most Democrats would rather see how our candidates would go against the Republican nominee, but Obama seems to be the only one doing that now (very well I might add).

Clinton has a lot of ground to make up now as far as I am concerned. Hillary is going to have to re-earn some respect at this point, and the only I see it happening is if she ends this contest with some dignity after June 3rd and campaigns like she really means it for Obama, who will likely be the nominee by sheer mathematics. It is the only way I see how the Clintons retain their legacy for the future. I pray they are listening.

Si se puede!

To An OHIO VOTER & ALL OF HILLARY SUPPORTERS,

If you guys prefer Hillary to Obama that's cool, but what makes you guys look and sound so foolish is this, All of you have complained about the Bush Admin, keeping our soldiers in IRAQ. Well, you know Hillary will not be the nominee, let's get real here, so why shoot yourselves in the foot, and I'm not trying to be funny, but we have soldiers dying everyday. I don't have a son in the military, but I do have a heart for a mother who does! I sure hope none of the comments saying, "You will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee" are from mothers who have children in the military, because there is a saying,"You will reap what you sow". While these soldiers are sacrificing their lives, you Hillary supporters are saying, "We don't care, if Hillary is not the nominee, our vote goes to McCain, your lives don't matter, OUR EGO DOES!

"This isn't American Idol"
Sounds more like Obama…

Hillary & Huckabee need to be ashame of there self, to invoke this kind of trash in this race. Hillary needs to bow out gracefully. Give it up girl we know you are a strong but yet stupid women. How can you represent the Dem's when you act like a spoiled brat. You just say anything out of your mouth, why don't you just stop now because I am very upset with you.

How can anyone buy into the falsehood that Hillary is ahead in the popular vote? Is it because she repeats over and over that people (including her) begin to buy into the lie? I just don't get it…..

How come I don't see any Obama supporters saying they won't vote for HIllary if she wins the nomination? Oh wait, that's because she can't win… nevermind. Talk about drinking the Koolaid!

As an independent, I am TOTALLY behind Barack Obama. HOWEVER, if the Clintons are anywhere near the White House I will vote McCain. I wasn't going to make that decision, but the Clintons leave me no choice. It's Obama or nothing for the DNC.

I do not want the deceit, lies, pension for inciting unrest, dividing the country, instilling greater racial problems than needed to be. Well, there's just NO WAY. I don't want an impeached former president bullying the people around Washington. Obama already said, as well as supporter, let her run the race until the end….but the Clintons try to place blame on Obama for it and that's an outright lie to voters.

I was willing to be reasonable about the Clintons (who have been shady ever since Arkansas) until these past couple months. That's it. Hillary just is not presidential material…period.

Any Democrat that would vote for McCain please make sure you remember to tell your kids how you helped to screw up the country some more because you supported the worst kind of sore loser ever to run for office. Remember, Ma and Pa Clinton are the ones responsible for GW Bush being in the White House because of all their scandals and unethical behaviors. And, their story continues where it left off. The dopes from Hope are a truly lost cause. And, the only office for McCains age group is Pope, but I doubt he would qualify with friends like Mr Hagee. Imagine, an 80 year old president in his 2nd term. Yikes!! Vote of Obama and end the drama.

GO HILLARY!

This is America and Hillary has every right to remain in this race!

Please let everyone vote and have every vote count!

And the ticket should be HILLARY/obama or obama/HILLARY if the democrats want to win the white house!

Why should Senator Obama agree to a revote, that doesn’t make him a bad person, we all know if Clinton was losing this request of fake concern would have never suffaced. No one told Bill who to select for VP, now all a sudden a lot of you think you can tell Obama, not…………..that’s his chorce as it always have been for the president. ho do you think you are to tell him who to choose for VP? no one told Bill.

If Hillary was winning, Florida and Michigan do you honestly think she would care anything about your vote, do you honestly think she would have agree to a revote if Obama was losing? When she agreed not to count your votes, that showed how much she cared about your vote.

It is sad that she is proud by encouraging her supporters to lobby for her out side of were the leaders will hold a meeting, judging by most of the comments on here from her supporters, this will put a lot of people in harm way, especially if it is not a peaceful rally.
Let’s be honest democrats, once the nominee (Obama) is seated, how many of you think she will have a second thought or concern about you?

Please share, We want to know.

Those calling for One-person, one-vote– I agree with you, but ONLY IF THE CAUCUS STATES ARE GIVEN THE SAME TREATMENT AS THE PRIMARY STATES. I votes in KS, for Obama– in my polling station alone, there were 3,000 voters, and the other 4 stations in my city showed the same turnout. Over 75% of us voted Obama. Don't our votes count? Don't the votes of the 25% of Clinton supporters count? It's not that we disagree every vote should count- it's that Sen. Clinton is NOT for counting EVERY VOTE, only the votes that support HER.

CNN- PLEASE POST FOR ONCE!

Clinton has no excuses for her statements. She said them and she meant them. I think she is trying to provoke one of her supporters to try to hurt Senator Obama. When there is a "Clinton Body Count" and then you hear these kind of unexcusable statements, one can not but wonder that the clinton's are dangerous people to be around. There are over 20 so called suicides and gun shootings. Somebody please do a statistic ratio for us on knowing that many people dying this way. I know one person on both sides of the family that committed suicide. No one killed by gunshot. One from a car accident, and I'm 50 years old. These people know over 20-27 people with questionable deaths! She will not and cannot win this nomination. How convienent that they all were "about" to give testimony. Some of them may be perfectly innocent, but not all of them. The law of statistics has put the truth to the negative side.

Oh Hillary. Say girl, maybe you need to try a Beltone. You know the little card you received in the mail for hearing loss.

Clinton can not blame Obama for her loss. She has to look within herself and look at the people she surrounded herself with. When Obama was trailing, you did not here him complaining about counting Florida and Michigan. Also, there is just as much racism as there is sexism in this race. I am tired of the Clinton supporters whinning. Let's move on with the procession.

I think superdelegates bear the responsibility for what their canditate says. By acting or not acting, they are making their choice. What if some of Hillary's expectations will realize?

Hillary you stay in, Bush cheated in the election twice, Obama and his empty headed cult are cheating now, we don't need another air head for president!!!

I JUST CANT UNDERSTAND HOW MY FELLOW AMERICAN LOSSES THEIR MIND, AND VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY CANT EMAGINE, WHY AMERICA IS NOT ANYMORE A GREAT NATION LIKE BEFORE, I LOVE THIS GREAT NATION, BUT A LOT OF MY FELLOW CITIZEN ARE BECAMING MORE CRAZY AND SHORT MINDED AND NUTS.

WAKE UP ALL OF YOU CITIZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS ALL VOZE FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CLINTON WILL PUT BACK ARE GOOD DAYS AHEAD. STRONG DOLLARS, STRONG ECONOMY, JOBS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PROSPERIOUS LIFE LIKE THE OLS YEARS OF THE 1992 TO 2000.

Obama , Dodd , Kennedy , Kerry , Richardson , Duachel , Casey , Edwards , Carter , The DNC ….. Don't get !!!!! ……Obama Can't Win , He Doesn't Have The Trust From The Democratic Base ……. Hillary Has The Hearts And Minds Of the Loyal Democratic base !!! …….. Life Long Democrats Like Myself Will Place Their Vote "ONLY" For Hillary Clinton , Or John McCain …… It's Past The Point Of The Democratic Platform Policies …….. It's About What is Best For The Counrty ….. America Needs A Strong Pro – American President !!!!!

Hillary , John Mc Cain 2008

The writing is on the Wall. Hillary wants an unreasonable amount of the delegates seated from Mi & FL.

When she doesn't get her way, she is going to invoke sexism and take this to the convention and split the party.

Horrible…absolutley HORRIBLE!!!

`I am an Obama supporter and I do not believe Hillary wants anything like that to happen to him. I do believe she is wanting another story like Rev.Wright or the bitter comment to destroy him. I do believe there is a lot of deranged people out there that would pick up on those kind of remarks and act on them. She needs to drop out now.

Obama 08

Connie from Logansport,IN

I just saw the video on AP when Sen. Obama was asked the question regarding Hillary's RFK comment and Sen. Obama state that he did not think Sen. Clinton meant anything by it and we should move on. Hillary's campain is trying to make something out of it. Hillary's campaign should stop so many incorrect spins and shut up. I am so tired of Hillary that I am just sick. Please post.

I am to the point of not blaming Hillary as much as the SuperDelegates!!

What is wrong with you people??????!!!!!!!!!!

Get her out of there or we WILL be looking at a Bush 3rd term!

SHUT THIS GOD-AWFUL WOMAN UP. I am so sick of her and her negative spewing because she lost….

So now the Clintons plan to "work" the back rooms at the convention to try to steal the nomination? I will NOT vote for this hag no matter what.

Woman, you've got not chance in this world to be norminated and that the simple fact…

"Clinton campaign co-chairman Terry McAuliffe said Sunday that she had been making a valid point about the timeline of the race, telling Fox News Sunday that “a hyped-up press over Memorial Day weekend, the Obama campaign inflaming it, tried to take these words out of context.”

No No No campaign co-chairman dont blame this on the Obama camp your canidate made her own gaffe and the media inflamed it, it was well on its way to being an issue before the Obama camp even replied. And besides he has said several times that he did not think she meant what most thought she was implying. Yall always want to blame Obama for everything and never take responsiblity for your own actions, please.

TO ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS

grow up
learn to count the math
and by all means
see her for what she is
unfit to lead any thing to do with our goverment
get pissed off if you like
she is making a blind fool out of all of you

Hillary is still running for one reason only-she can't believe and will not accept that she has lost the nomination. It wasn't supposed to end this way. She was the front runner before any votes were cast. She had the democratic establishment on her side, with over 100 superdelegates pledged to her before the first vote was cast. She had more money than any of the other candidates before a single vote was cast. But when the votes were cast, they didn't pick her. IOWA picked Obama and Edwards over her! And we all know it was downhill from there. So, what else can she do, but hope and pray for something to go wrong with Obama because if she isn't the nominee, her story will go down as one of the greatest political tragedies ever. And her story will not be written that she was somehow the subject of sexism, but utter organizational and management failure. It was her fault and her poor management skills that led to her fall. Her campaign management was a part of her audition for the role of president and she blew it big time!

It is a shame that evrybody is trying to push her out of this race and it is shameful by Obama campaign to take her word out of context in regard to the RFK remark. How low can they get? They are doing anything they can to knock her out. But she still has a chance and she is fighing because she cares about her country and she knows that she is the best candidate to beat McCain.

Obama camp has proven to be a divider not a uniter as they claim. What a hypocrisy!!!!

Go for it Hillary go all the way to the end. Tere are millions cheering for you.

If this isn't resolved before the convention, we'll have thrown away the third presidential election in a row that we could have won. Do we really want that?

Hillary is the most capable and vetted candidate – she is a true democrat. Obama does not have the judgement to lead our nation in these incredibly dangerous times. This isn't American Idol this is the presidency!

He is inexperienced and will not get my vote in the fall.

The one and ONLY thing she's in the race for is the MONEY.

Think for a minute people. Is it Obama's fault that he ran his campaign based around the current voting rules of the party? He went after delagates and did very will with the caucuses. He campaigned very very well. A year ago Clinton was the favorite and Obama was chasing a dream. Is it Obama's fault that Michigan and Florida broke the rules? Let's not forget that whether she liked it our not Clinton went along with the punishment until she start to fall behind. Obama wants some voice to be heard by Florida and Michigan.

Don't disenfranchise the caucus votes in order to claim Clinton has the vote lead. That is as bad as not counting Floriday and Michigan. If we need to fix the caucus system it's best to do so after this nomination process not during and discounting the voice of hundreds of Americans.

Lastly for Clinton supporters, do some homework on Obama. Read his Blueprint for change. There is a lot of substance to his policies and speeches. You will find that he and Clinton are not that different in policies. They are very different in approach that is all. (that's saying you don't count age,race and gender.) Obama's upbrining and family is probably more like yours or you can relate to his background if you take a look. Hilary is great, but ran a poor strategy for the nomination. Don't blame Obama for it and vote McCain.

Obama people get over it……………………………..
Bobby Kennedy was not a big deal.

Clinton supporters:

You blame the Obama camp for fanning controversy over her remarks.

Sorry, that is not the case.

I follow her campaign, watch/read her remarks first-hand, unfiltered…based on that, I am really insulted by her remarks and twisting of reality.

This is not the media's fault or other candidates' fault.

This is her, 100%. She could have been good, but that ship sailed months and months ago.

So, people get sent to guantanimo bay for less than this.

Just because her husband is the one who started the whole extraordinary rendition thing doesn't mean she should be immune to it.

I believe she didnt mean harm about the RFK statement- but she is DOING harm by the fact that she doesn't concede—she has lost!

"Pat -There is one question that I have not hear addresed about Obama. If he had such a meger upbringing how was he able to attend such a prestigious college and how did he become so wealthy at such a young age?"

He was able to attend such a prestigious college because he got scholarships to a good school early on because he was so intelligent, and did well enough to be accepted at Columbia and Harvard. He went there on student loans that he only recently finished paying off. He got rich at such a young age because he wrote 2 best selling books. Have you read them? They are excellent.

Hillary is the most talented women alive period.

Hillary for President……………………08………………….

Hillary beats out the playing field.

Osama Bin Laden said, give me $500,000 and I will bankrupt the United States. $3 Billion on the war so far it is clear he is winning this race. Obama will not beat McCain, so blaming Clinton for this is an act of cowardice. Every person voting for Obama, who has no idea how to fix this, is a vote to say the death of more soldiers is not important, and the mounting debt is not important. It is so much easier to blame somebody else rather than take responsibility for your own action. So the deaths, the bankruptcy of the United States, the decline of USA influence falls on every singe democrat who voted for Obama. At least have a back bone and accept what you have chosen.

Another 3000 dead American soldiers and another $3 Trillion spend on the war will leave a nation bankrupt. Osama Bin Laden’s ultimate goal is within sight, yet you blame Clinton.

NO YOU DIDN'T SAY YOU "RESPECT" BILL CLINTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BILL HAD LOTS OF LADY "FRIENDS" NOT JUST MONICA
HILLARY AND BILL CAN NOT SPEAK ON VALUES AND MORALS !

I sincerly hope Hillary gets the nomination. Bill is correct she deserves it! She deserves to take the fall when Mc Cain wins.
The divided party always loses

"Will the Clinton's say they "inflammed" the bitter matter or Rev. Wright. You said what you said. The Obama camp didn't need to do anything further. Hillary know's the reason she is still running is because she can't stand to lose. This was suppose to be handed to her on a silver platter. The amount your campaign is in debt should say a whole lot about her campaign.

Stick with it Hillary…YOU WILL BE THE NOMINEE!

GOOD WILL PREVAIL OVER THE SUBVERSIVE, 'UNDER THE RADAR' POLITICS OF BARACK nOBAMA!

HILLARY CLINTON 2008!

Hillary threw Florida and Michigan under the bus when it was convenient for her. Think what you want, support who you want but don't ever forget this fact.

Why? – simply because two royal families is enough. Son of a president, wife of a president, daughter of a president… Then one can vote for war and have no any responsibility… not even a modest jail time… or some money to compensate these 10B/month for the war, and many tens of thousands of dead (if Iraq civilians are counted as humans).
23 senators voted agains war, but Hillary and McBush happen to be among the 77 that voted for it. Guilty.

Hope we return to democracy:
Obama 2008

Go home Hilary

Vic Nashville, TN, Your comment is unbelieveable and ignorrent at best. It is becaues of people like you our country is in the state it is in.
People like you will distroy our nation and we will no longer be free.

Someday you will learn what freedom really means!

God Bless You!

Go away Hillary, Obama 08′, Come on supers, end this.

I don't mind her running until the end but stop telling lies such as that she won the popular vote. Play by the rules–win or lose. She has lost the most contests, popular vote , delegates and now superdelegates. If Obama does not win she will be blamed for dragging this on once it was pointless.

I see Hillary's paid bloggers are up early today. Get this in your big heads Hillary supporters, she will not be the Democratic nominee. Even if Obama loses the GE, the Clintons will never get back in the White House. LMAO

The shot heard around the world was self inflicted…

It is so unfortunate that Obama is the likely Democratic candidate to become Commander-in-Chief because when he was graduating high school, he would not have qualified for military service because of his experimentation with drugs.

Anybody out there that actually believe Hillary still has a legitimate chance of beating Obama needs to find some good medication to stop their mental dillusions. The superdelegates, most who know the Clintons on a personal level unlike the voters, are more than happy not to have to give their vote to Hillary. They don't like Bill and Hillary for reasons that the average voters know nothing about. They will not change their mind. They cannot stand the Clintons and as long as they have a viable alternative their votes will not go Hillary's way.

I think its the right time for the democratic party to split. Hillary should run as an INDEPENDENT if she doesn't get the democratic nomination.

GO Hillary! Go Hillary!

Look Guys, Hillary has better chances to win popular vote in general election an much better chance to actually get elected if you consider Obama vs Clinton performance in the swing states. So guys close your elitists mouthes and listen to the people.

I'm appalled at the rudeness and lack of civility used to atack at Hillary by the Obama suppoters. I will never vote for Obama,And Florida will not go with Him no matter what John King and his comments will say,And everything she says is being taken out of context .It's just ridiculous.In the general election Obama will not close the deal,He is unelectable and even that you have given him and easy ride on your reporting what is true is that Hillary is the best choice.And she does have the popular vote count.

So now the new thing is the Clinton camp trying to blame Obama for the blow up over her gaffe. There is a way to run a graceful campaign and stay in the race, but that's not what she is doing. Mudsling and blame is shameful.

I still do not understand what comments have to do with you staying in the race. Please explain….

I would just like to say that if "the unspeakable" happens… it would be the start of the second Civil War in American history. I'm just saying, American should think long and hard about the repercussions of their actions.

OBAMA HAD THIS RACE FIXED FOR HIM FROM DNC,MEDIA,PRESS AND THE SUPER DELIGATES HE BOUGHT. THEY ARE ALL BIAS AGAINST HRC BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. HRC IS OUR BEST CANIDATE ,BUT THAT DOSN'T MATTER TO THIS PART OF AMERICA. THEY SCREW THINGS UP LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO.OBAMA WONT WIN IN NOV.

Hey everyone! Why not just relax and start focussing on winning the General Election. Hillary is over, let her sink as she wishes to sink. All this Hillary bashing only intensifies the focus upon her. Ignore her and she'll just go away.

TO OHIO VOTER,

You seem to be very busy!!!

At this point, Hillary should not be in the news. The news now is between Obama and Mcain. Surely, another candidate would run against her for her NY Senatorial seat and by then the Clinton's would finally be done with, except if Chelsea later decide to go into politics. Chelsea even has a better chance of being the first female President unlike her mother, provided she(Chelsea) learns not to be heartless like her mum.

Her comment about RFK had NOTHING to do with Obama!!! Honestly, she could say "the sky is blue" and you Obama idiots would try to twist the words to make it seem like an insult. Get over yourselves!!

All of you McCain supporters, Clinton lovers, think about it, Lets give Hillary 70% of Puerto Rico, split Montana and South Dakota. Barack only needs 25 delegates at that point, which gives Billary 88% of the remaining delegates.

This is an imposible senario for the Hillster, Barack will run againt the the Viet Nam warrior the can not stand behind our warriors that keep us free! McCain will be defeated in the general election.

An endless war, torture, 4 more years of Bush economics are not going to elect McBush and we will be free from the fear once again!

I pray War crimes are looked at closely to ensure to the world that no one is above the law and those who broke it will be punished!

God bless our Democratic President, Barack Obama, God bless our Democratic Congress and Senate to change the course that the Republicans refuse to change! And God bless America.

If you vote for McCain, our country will go bankrupt and the deficit will grow at a pace of 700 billion a year, or nearly a trillion a year.

When you over star yr invitation that is what starts to happen.

Just like GW Bush in the 2000, trying to bully herself into the nomination. How despicable!

Mrs Clinton= bla bla bla bla whatever…

You fool no one Hillary Clinton! We see very clearly the wishes of your dark heart and the bad seeds you plant with your 'mispeaks'. All I can say is the EYES OF THE ENTIRE WORLD are watching this election. No one had better harm a hair on the head of Sen. Obama or his family.

Barack Obama for President 08/12

The simple fact is that she hopes it happens. You Hillary lovers may not like that, but the truth hurts. (Note: I didn't say she would oversee it). If you have not figure out by now that this woman will literally do ANYTHING to get elected President then you are a fool.

However – she had no Plan B when she failed to secure the nomination on Super Tuesday, and she can't even manage a crisis like a word slip-up.

She has eminently disqualified herself from the serious consideration for President that she never deserved in the first place.

One final point: If Hillary is as smart as everyone says she is, why was she stupid enough to say what she did?

So tired of the Clinton's & Bushes!

Let someone else have a chance!
(NOT McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!)

Obama '08

IT IS SIMPLY IDIOTIC FOR HER TO CONTINUE. SHE SHOULD BOW OUT GRACEFULLY NOW OR DISGRACEFULLY LATER.

Jack May 25th, 2008 12:15 pm ET
There's no doubt in my mind that Hillary Clinton is more electable….. It's all about the Electoral College…. and the Demographics in Ohio, PA, and Florida have rejected Obama overwhelmingly (and these are Democratic voters!)
without Hillary's supporters in Ohio, PA, and Florida, Obama cannot beat McCain in Nov
———————————————————————————————–
That’s the point it's in your mind, not the majority of voters that voted for Obama……

When I first Clinton say she will keep fighting for woman, two states who broke rules, the media is bias, she was winning first, if she was a republican she would be the nominee by now. The only way she would have beat Bush in 2004, is votes from the very people she didn’t call hard working white voters.

Hillary is a highly intelligent woman, but at the same time she will say and do anything to win.. Thank you Obama, we the voters hear you loud and clear, we the majority do know you care about the poor, the sick, the disabled, the veterans. “Hillary, for those of us who KNOW you, no explanation is needed“…what SAD about this quote is she really believe this no matter what damage she causes to the demo crated party.

What if Obama beats McCain, will you still say no one but Hillary can beat him after November?

Why are people afraid to really post their own opinions instead of post bites (derived from sound bites)? For example, is Hillary really ahead in the electoral map – or are you just repeating it? Another common one is the idea that someone would vote McCain if Hillary does not win; that type of post cannot be from a serious Democrat because Obama and Hillary have many of the same policies. Instead, there is an appearance of "republican talk radio" gamesmanship. Be honest and think independent – I vote no more post bites allowed in the comments! Come on CNN – clean up the posts and keep it real.

Hillary, your statements, especially your lies are well planned out. You know exactly what your saying, because some of your gullible supporters believe your lies. Some of your supporters know your lying but are only fooling themselves. You said your in it to see all votes count, that's a lie, you said your a head on the popular vote, that's a lie, you said you want to stay in until Florida and Michigan votes are seated, that's a lie, because you agreed before the campaining began not to included them. You said your comments about RFK were not referenced to Obama, that's a lie, because the only way your going to win is unless something happens to him. Get out LIAR.

OBAMA HAS TOO MANY PERSONAL PROBLEMS AND TOO LIMITED ON THE ISSUES FOR HIM TO BEAT MCCAIN. POLLS IN MAJOR SWING STATES ARE SHOWING THIS. THERE MAY STILL BE MORE PERSONAL PROBLEMS IN THE PIKE ON OBAMA. IF THE DELEGATES BURY THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND AND REFUSE TO SMELL THE COFFEE, IT WILL ONLY BE AT THE DETRIMENT OF THE DEMOCRATS IN NOVEMBER…ANOTHER FOUR YEARS (PERHAPS EIGHT), OF LICKING THE WOUNDS OF DEFEAT…HILLARY IS DEMOCRAT'S BEST BET WITHOUT DOUBT

I support you all the way Hillary! Everyone needs to come out of denial and realize that if Obama was such a strong candidate he would not be losing these last primaries (and with so overwhelming losses!). Let's not get swept up in the arrogance and try to win in September. People, Obama is not a sure win. Face reality.

I believe Hillary's only goal now is to make sure Obama doesn't win. "Hell hath no furry like a woman scorned". It sad, because she is willing to destroy the party. I believe she is willing to destroy America. Her vote for me or else attitude is both divisive, and destructive. She is serious about the notion it's either her or McCain. Looks like for more years of Bush politics. Thank Hillary!

hey john

GET OUT OBAMA

his supporters dont realize we hate him as much as you do hillary
either way 1/2 of america will be unhappy when this is over
i say let him have it hillary we all know you have something on him let it drop.

hillary/08 who cares about the democractic party we need someone for all of america not just black america

Well it is obvious that the Barak Obama campaign is lying about not starting the negative attacks in the first place and just playing the same old Washington games now spinning it to "apology accepted" status. (And who is Barak Obama to "accept" an apology on behalf of the Kennedy family anyway???)

Too bad CNN chose not to report on the entire op ed, which is a very well written piece by the true Republican candidate and the only one with a chance to win the general election.

At the beginning of this primary season, I was very excited about the prospect of having a Clinton in the White House again. After watching this campaign, however, I have lost a bit of respect for the Clintons. I believe that Obama is the kind of leader we need if we are to evolve as a nation. He continues to prove himself.
Having said that, if he is not the nominee come convention time, I will absolutely 100% support Sen. Clinton. I do not like her antics, but her policies are too similar to Sen. Obama's to vote for McCain out of bitterness when our nation is at stake. Point blank… I hope to God that Obama will be our next President, but anyone on either side who says they'll vote McCain or stay home in November SURELY isn't looking at policies or issues.

How can you say Obama's campaign inflamed this issue? I thought they were very restrained, just calling it an unfortunate comment. Much more so than Hillary has been about the stupid statements he has made. She has run with them for days. He has been pretty consistent about downplaying her mistakes. Some of his supporters have not, but he himself has mostly encouraged people to move on from her gaffes.

Hillary thought as much about her remark as Barack did about his "bitter" remark. How quickly did Hillary's campaign agree that Barack misspoke, or didn't mean it? They rode that misfortunate comment into the ground. But, I suppose it would be sexist to not forgive and forget Hillary's misstatements.

Obama's campaign was accused of fanning the flames of Hillary's horrific RFK remark??? My God!! The flames were like an out-of-control forest fire which needed no fanning!!!! She NEVER said she was sorry in the way she should have!!! It's typical and disgusting behaivor on her behalf and I'm stunned! She has destroyed any respect the ANYONE still had for her, even if they admit it or not! Time will be the judge of that. As far as her continuing her fight to win…yawn!

Her statement was simply a mistake.
Some mistakes are politically fatal and THIS IS ONE!
She inadvertently has risked Obama's life and her own life needlessly. She is not ready at 3:00PM why is she going to be ready at 3:00AM!

As an impartial person I must point out that we don't pick our primary nominees by popular vote and our president isn't selected by popular vote (al a 2000, 2004.) Why is this arguement constantly waged by clinton and her supporters.
I just say lose gracefully and don't claw and scratch at this point. clinton supporters are so devoted to her winning that they seem to step outside of logic for her.
Regardless of her loss we still need a democrat in office. I say get your feelings off of your sleeve and start to fight the next battle which is the one against the republicans.
Any person who says they will vote for mccain when hillary loses is either doing it out of spite or doing it for divisive reasons. hillary and barack are on the same side. mccain is the enemy!

Wasn' t Obama president before? I think his name was Jimmy Carter then.

Hillary—

Here's a twist; offer Barack the VP slot on your soon to be announced Independent ticket. No, on second thought he may want to start a book club with Raul Castro.

obama always inflames the situation and then backs away and says it was me i denouce those statements. he is a joke and so is his wife. thank god he wont win in nov. i dont want anyone as racist as him, his wife, and pastor in the white house. IF he does get in by some chance wright better forbidden to step on the white house grounds

I see the McCain supporters are still out there pretending that they want to cast a vote for Hillary.

Doesn't that cynical old game ever get tiresome to play? Not while there's still even a minute chance for you to throw a monkey wrench into the other side's proceedings, I guess… you guys really are kind of like Hillary in that regard.

And to everyone else out there: I hope you realize by now that probably around 80% minimum of the "Hillary supporters" out there who are saying that they'd vote for McCain over Obama are really just elephants in donkey's clothing.

America have to really really think about what they want in next 4 or 8yrs. People who voted in 2000 and 2004 have to think once who they did vote for and why they did so. People who did not vote in 2000 or 2004 have no right to say anything now as they did not choose when they had a chance. What everybody can do in 2008 is to vote for whoever they think is the honest and best president for America. And ofcourse, have to live with the choice you made for another 4 yrs.
Good luck !!

she puts the idea out so it will influence the Supers, snipers and/or her deluded followers, then she act like "who, me?" I can't possible be that much of a monster.

Come on girls, this woman lies and lies and lies. Now, she's claiming she won the most voters and all votes count. She's lying to us once again.
She does not have the popular vote,
she agreed MI and FL votes don't count, and tricked the other candidates to not campaign in those states.
And her voters math includes FL/MI and doesn't include the caucuses (which she now says are fake) I thought all counts were suppose to matter. Oh, it's the ones that help this liar's goals.
Not this woman, let's get a decent female.

the thing i don't see is: why is it she seems to think she deserves the presidency, at this point?

her campaign started the whole "hillary or mccain 2008″ crap – why shouldn't she expect the obama supporters to take on the same jealous attitudes? When you consider there are more Obama supporters than Hillary supporters, that doesn't bode well.

Which is another thing: she actually claims the popular vote (if you don't count caucus states), which is absurd. Who's she trying to fool? What's worse: who is actually fooled by this? Lying politicians is as old as politics, but why are people still falling for it?

At this point, she is actually willing (and, in fact, trying) to take the nomination from someone with the majority vote. Does she honestly think that whoever the nominee will be is bound to get the presidency? Does she think we'll all forget that she stole the nomination?

Obama or Nader '08!

I wish people weren’t so dumb. Vote for principles and what the candidate believes in. If you agree with Hillary’s solution on issues, you must recognize Obama’s solutions are not far from hers and vise versa. If your democratic candidate looses the primary than the next best option is the other democratic candidate. Don’t throw your vote away in Nov because you want to be selfish and stubborn because you’re upset the rest of the country didn’t fully agree with you. Be smart. Vote on issues not whose pastor said what, or who said something that was taken out of context, or who has the support from who.

The voters know the truth, and they will never listen to Hillary's lies.

She's toast, and as a women I'm ashamed of her.

Obama will be my next president, period.

Wake up people, the nomination has been this way forever. Sure it is bad, but we're stuck with it for the present. It has no relevence to this election, and won't be changed anyway to suit one candidate.

How despicable of the Obama side to try to create a media frenzy over the JFK remark, she was simply talking about campaigns that went into June, and the side of hope and change, the side that says it wants to unite the country twists it into something ugly and untrue. What a disgrace it is for Obama and his supporters to use words like hope and change. They are about hate and hate only.

It's business as usual., Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) the republican byline has taken center stage in the Clinton campaign. Their current strategy is to scare people into voting for her instead of rising above her opponent.
She fights on but without the wisdom to pick the right fights to wage. The Clinton campaign uses last ditch efforts from the political pages of the past to try and win a nomination in a new era of politics.
Her campaign's only remaining strategies are to change the rules, alter the math or scare people into voting for her. Telling of a candidate who favors Karl Roves playbook.
Expect the same from Hillary over the next few weeks as the candle reaches the bottom, expect to see more from the bottom

hillary has a tremedous ego, that has already got her plenty of trouble she needs to take a vacation away from politics, she is heading for a terrible landing. she has lost a lot of respect for self, therefore how can any body respect her now. lots of people are feeling angry with her, do your self a favor and drop out now.

You know if Hillary would have dropped out she would have never made that statement.

Once again, Clinton News Network deletes my comment….

Whether she meant anything nefarious or not, Hillary still owes Sen Obama, his family and his supporters an apology for her senseless remarks. But true to her GOP form, she won't even admit she did something wrong, let alone apologize for it.

Gutless SuperDelegates, wherever you are, get a spine and END THIS THING NOW!!!!!!

I don't understand how all these Hillary supporters are concluding the media (or whoever) is forcing Obama on them. He is winning! All they are doing is reporting what is so. I can see that many people are refusing to accept that, but the bottom line is he's winning! I understand that it is disappointing when your team (or candidate) loses, but no matter how many times you say it's not true, winning is winning and losing is losing. Caucuses do count. All the people who voted in caucuses represent others who did not vote. If they wanted something different, they should have gone out and voted for it. This is ridiculous. He has the most votes, the most delegates, the most states won, the most supers. Sure, she should finish the race if she wants to, but she will eventually have to accept the fact that he won.

Yes, the RFK comment MUST have been completely unrelated to Obama, except that… he's the only other one running and the front-runner, and so any comment like "I'm staying in because of what happened to RFK" … is *DIRECTLY RELATED* to Obama.

You're sick if you think ANYONE will buy that it wasn't related.

Heck, you're sick anyway.

I'm not too bothered about her comment, it was probably not intended that way. I am bothered that she's prolonging a failing campaign which is deeply in debt and dividing the party.

A very well calculated comment, but unfortunately, no one will heed to your words, rather what you wished to others will come back to consume you.

I am so shocked to learn from journalists in "Meet the Press" that Hillary actually wants Obama to die.

As a woman, it shocks me and as a mother, it saddens me and as Hillary supporter, it hurts me

Hillary has the right to continue running until a winner is declared, that is never the issue. The problem is she has become extremely negative and vindicative, making it harder for the eventual party nominee to win in November:

- She is pushing women away from voting for a man by raising the gender bias issue
- She is pushing the Michigan and Florida democrats to vote republican if she does not get her way.
- She is increasing her attacks about the party rules, that she was happy with when she thought she was a shoe in. This also will have an impact on whether her supported will vote for the party in November.

HRC is increasingly looking like a sore loser that prefers that the party nominee loses this election so she can run in 2012. There is no loyalty to the party here.

The super delegate need to stop her as soon as possible. The impact of her actions will also be felt directly by some of them as they go through congressional elections.

I don't know where in the hell she went to school. And as for the math!, come on now!, if she's this stupid and tries to bend the rules when she first said she'd uphold them, what kind of president would she be?

I think Hillary's campaign has moved squarely into "pathetic" territory.

With the stories about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, the revelations that she really wasn't all that anti-NAFTA after all, the various other half-truths and deceptions, and now this, and it all adds up to a desperate also-ran that for whatever reason cannot let go of the nomination in the face of defeat.

She denies the math, changes the rules, and goes back on her initial support of excluding Florida and Michigan because now she thinks it will favor her to include them.

I don't want that kind of person as president. What she is capable of doing, and her continual justification of interpreting things however benefits her, scares me. It should scare this country too. Hillary Clinton is nothing but a female version of Dick Cheney.

Nice to see the Obamabots are out in full force this morning. Whats wrong…something in your heart still telling you your friend Obama may not get the nomination ?

Magic number not reached yet. Getting concerned right ?

Obama did have his name on the Florida ballot you know. Worried ?

Superdelegates can flip sides a hundred times in a day you know. Get the picture ?

Why the rush to end the primary ? Everbody has to catch a train or something ? Don't worry..McCain's going nowhere. Democracy doesn't run on a clock you know.

THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS NEED TO HOLD THEIR CANDIDATE

ACCOUNTABLE FOR HER PAST & PRESENT BEHAVIOR.

THERE ARETO DESCRIBE HER VILE, HATEFUL COMMENTS.

SHE HAS MADE THOSE COMMENTS 3 TIMES. THERE IS NO

DEFENSE FOR IT. EITHER SHE IS THE HATE MONGER WE ALL

KNOW SHE IS, OT SHE THE HATEFUL MONGER WE ALL KNOW

SHE IS & SHE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO SAY SO. TAKE YOUR PICK.

oh, is she is still in the race? hmmmmm, isnt that odd.

The fact that the superdelegates have not ended this makes me very afraid to be african american. It seems that the superdeligates feel the same as Hilary. She is running because she wants to run our country the same way she ran her campaign. Can you image what the international blunders and mis-speakings and lies would do to our standing in the world? With all she's done, why doesn't anyone question HER electibilty?

Yo Obama supporters-would you have been so harsh with Teddy when he challenged a sitting Pres., was 100's of votes behind and took it to the convention floor. I thought not.
So lay off and let the process run its course. The DNC created this problem, not Barack or Hillary.

What most people don't seem to realize is that the vote count is very close between Clinton and Obama. So, I would say that to keep insisting that Clinton drop out or that the Obama nomination is secured is at best unreasonable and at worst is an extremely arrogant position to take.

Remember half of democrats are supporting Clinton and to insult them would be a grave mistake on the part of Obama and his campaign supporters.

THE POWER OF SUGGESTS!!!!!!!

Of course Obama keeps saying Fl/Mi delagates will be seated at the convention, if he is the nominee he automatically gets them. He doesn't want the voters voices to be heard before then or she will get most of them now. This is the reason he is saying she is doing damage in Florida. He is hoping the stupids step up and endorse him before the 31st so the rules committee meeting will be moot. This is so undemocratic coming from the so called uniter.

Keep going Hillary. Obama is running scared.

Obama's campaign's reaction to the innuendos stated by HRC was far more gracious than my initial reaction when I heard it first hand on CNN. Now they the Obama Camp is accused of inflamming the remarks. She changes personas as often as people "hopefully" change their underwear.

Oh yes, re staying the the race Hillary. Are you going to represent Artchaletta to get a recount on his LOSS on American Idol? He at least accepted second place far more gracefully than you ever could and he's sooooooo much more honest.

she is continuing because she just can't believe she is lossing. Well hil you are. Now do us all a favor and end it plz. So the TRUE winner SENATOR OBAMA can get on with the business of campaigning for the president of the USA and send bush/mccain back to arizona. WE WANT CHANGE!!!!!!!!!! FL & MI i'm sure will be seated and counted in some way but it will not be enough to save hil. I admired hil at one time but she has shown her true colors. The changes she wants to make on selecting a nominee is the same way her husband was elected. I'm sure she didn't find anything wrong with the process then. So why now? I'll tell you why, BECAUSE SHE IS LOSSING. So lets see if she will continue her fight to change it after the election. BYE BYE hil.

Fine, let's give Hillary the nomination, and give her a good start aganist McCain with nearly 27 million in debt. How lovely?? This is not about Hillary now. It us about Hillary in 2012 do not you get it????

You know, there is a place for Terry McAuliffe in the entertainment business as a science fiction writer. The Obama campaign took the high road as usual and chose not to attack Mrs. Clinton or inflame the story. Yet McAuliffe gets away with making phony claims about how they intentionally put the statement out on a Friday. Of course, they should have made a statement before she spoke. I really will be glad when she is put on ignore and nobody chooses to write about her anymore.

Vote Obama!

Doesn't it seem mildly ironic that the only people that are supporting hillary are those who are uneducated and under-accomplished? To me, this says that hillary has only succeeded in fooling the dummies.

hey go clinton go we need you all the people in america need you clinton 08

Hilliary Clinton is a foolish idiot.

The latest Gallup poll shows Clinton with a statistically significant five percentage point lead over McCain which Gallup says is "considerably stronger than Obama's 2-point loss to McCain". These numbers have been fairly consistent. I just want a Democrat to win, and I'm getting nervous with these numbers.

What she's accusing the Obama cam? are you serious I was up at the time of Hillary's comments and if anything the ppl that they should accused is the media!!!!!!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN THEY INTERVIEW ON OF OBAMA'S CAMPAING SUP. HE DIDN'T EVEN MADE ANY KIND OF BAD STATEMENTS, AS WELL AS OBAMA HE WAS A GENTLEMAN AS ALWAYS.. SO PLEASE HILLARY CAMPAIGN YOU BETTER GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT.. AGAIN AS ALWAYS THEY ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THAT'S WHY I CAN'T STAND HILLARY, THERE WAS A TIME I USED TO RESPECT HER BUT NOW I JUST TOTALLY CAN'T STAND HER!! IF SHE THINKS SHE REPRESENTS WOMEN, WELL SHE SHOULD SPEAK FOR HERSELF, US WOMEN DON'T WANT A CANDIDATE THAT DIVIDE OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND SHE'S DOING JUST THAT!!!

OBAMA

The people bad mouthing Hillary is Republicans, not Obama suporters. The Republicans are scared to death that Hillary might pull this out, and they know Mccain can't win against Hillary, and they are right.

Yes We Can

only one who can't is McCan't

Hillary, soldier on!

Except that your refusal to see that you have lost this is tantamount to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's refusal to accept the Holocaust took place.

You both have something in common, you try to defy common sense and try to put facts in doubt.

You know why people are imprisoned for denying the Holocaust took place, because it would set mankind back to Stone Age if any fact can be disputed as illogically as you are doing now.

So i suppose you know where you belong except, oooops you are a lawyer and would plead insanity so escape Guantanamo Bay!

My God, you defy even a lab rat's reasoning Mr & Mrs Clinton!

Hillary is just wrong. Plain and simple.

Her supporters are just decadant morons who cling to a past that wasn't really that great. Why they support her is anyone's guess, but at least a GOOD majority of Americans dislike her and hate her.

She is wrong for America, she'll ruin this country worse than GWB.

If she steals the nomination from Obama, then McCain will win in November.

Obama is in every outing he's made cynical and disrespectfull. he's is inexperienced and should serve the senate a few more years.

AMERICA remember when you elected an inexperieced guy the last time. YOU GOT BUSH. Wake-up!

SOCIOPATH!

She never will come out and say "I'm sorry". I am still waiting for the apology for the vote for Iraq. There is always an excuse. This comment was just unconscionable, and should be the end of her support and her campaign.

This is not an issue for the Obama people. Barack said he took Hillary at her word and that was the end of it.
Stop with the lies Clinton. You are the one who is making a big deal out of this. Obama always takes the high road while you get down and slime with the worms. You know nothing of honor and pride Hillary. There is no low that is too low for you!

You're on your own Hillary…………….it sucks to be you man, LOL!!!!

Hillary Clinton, The greatest woman in our life time will be our next president.

The Obama camp was more forgiving of Hillary's comment than she has been about anything in the Obama camp. Her comments were NOT OUT OF CONTEXT. We all heard them. She is so arrogant she can't apologize and makes it sound like she is the victim and it is everyone elses fault! This is sociopathic! She won't ever say she is sorry about voting for the war either. She has a grand sense of entitlement we don't need in the White House. And she DID NOT apologize to the party, the voters or Obama. She is a DANGEROUS woman.

Bilary have outstayed their welcome. They are now losing any respect people had and are threatening their legacy. Why doesn't the DNC pull the plug on this pathetic attempt to continue?

The Clinton's involvement in politics hopefully has ended with the farce of a presidential run. Sorry guys, your not going to be the next Kennedy dynasty. I hope they burned enough bridges that New Yorkers will send Hillary packing when she goes for reelection in the senate in 2011. At-least Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee knew when to get out.

So now Hillary says she can win on merit. Are you kidding me? Before it was Blue States vs. Red States, then it was primary vs caucus, then it was delegates vs super delegates, then it was popular vote and electoral vote..now it's MERIT! Does Hillary really think we are all that stupid to buy this latest spin on why she should stay in the race. LAME! Hillary it makes you seem desparate and pathetic. Also how can your campaign even factor electoral votes? You have to carry a state in the general election to earn them.

Obama 2008/2012

she can run, but she can't hide from the truth of what she is doing. and saying. enough is enough. endorse obama on june 3 and get out and be satisfied with a candidate that is not known for power mongering, self aggrandizement and control at any cost.

besides, there's still 2012, when you can try to make your case again. this time, it aint gonna happen.

Why? Because she just cant believe she lost the nomination! From the outset this was hers to lose and given the state of the economy and the war in Iraq the Democrats should win this election. It was all there for the taking and her campaign just blew it.

National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day
(Washington, DC) All National Park Service sites are asked to honor America's fallen heroes by participating in the National Moment of Remembrance on Memorial Day. On May 26, 2008 at 3 p.m., Americans should pause and reflect on the sacrifice of those who have died serving our country.

Thank you!

She is a disgrace! And that husband of hers should keep is loud trap closed because they are both beyonf pathetic…we have had enough of the Clintons.. Go Away!

I'm going to start off by saying I'm an active Obama supporter, and that I was an Obama delegate for my county in Texas.

However, to one previous poster, she did apologize on this issue several times. To another, they've both made mistakes on the trail of not thinking clearly before speaking, they're tired! Give them a break, this remark was obviously not newsworthy, and it's a shame people are so nit-picky. I guess it didn't matter to you when Obama said he was in the 57th state. They're tired, cut a little slack here people, you get the point, so stop reading so much into it.

To another poster, She's gotten 49% support of the entire party, she's been a good politician and competitor. There's no reason you should think she should be kicked out. There are way worse people out there with way worse agendas.

She has every right to stay in till June 3, but I definitely agree that at that time, she should bow out gracefully. I respect her points and reasoning, but I just don't support here approach.

After watching the bullying tactics of Obama supporters at our Texas precinct caucuses and the Senatorial conventions, there is NO way I can support their candidate. They were obviously coached in how to coerce people, and if that's the way the Obama team works, then I want NO part of it. Notice Obama's biggest support came from 'caucus' states… there's a reason for that… coercing & bullying voters.
As a result of what I saw in the caucuses, I personally think the caucus system needs to be totally scraped and just go to strictly a ballot style primary. And we need to get rid of "open" primaries too & make all states adhere to a closed primary for the Democratic primaries.

Viewing this campaign from outside your country, I really do not understand how Hillary Clinton honestly believes that she could be the nominee! She is supposed to be a very bright woman, but seeing and hearing some of the things she says, I wonder where her mind is. All it shows is that she is so so desperate to want to be President that she changes her manner and ideas for what she thinks is popular for the present state she is campaigning in. Also all the things she agree to at the start, like the final number, approving of the Democratic Party's stand re Florida and Michigan she shows how pathetic her campaign is becoming. Obama is the right person for this time in your history.

Count all Michigan and Florida votes or it's Adios to the Democrats in November—Period!!! I won't negotiate on my rights as an American citizen. And that means "all" the votes.

HRC has shown that she cannot run her own campaign effectivley, so why should she be in charge of our country? Her campaign is in debt, yet her supporters think that she should be in charge of the economy??? She seems to think that anyone that dares not to embrace her is sexist, maybe it's just that not everyone of voting age likes her.

I realize that a lot of voters have voted for her, but a lot of voters voted for Barack, too. Or don't those voters matter to her?

Why do Obama supporters make comments that would lead one to believe they were about eight years old?
It's kind of scary.

CNN refuses to allow my comment about Robert Kennedy's death onto this board.

Why not, CNN?

I worked on his campaign hours before he died in Los Angeles.

Why can't we talk about RFK's death? Are we not to even remember the man?

He had as much if not more potential than JFK.

Please, someone show her the door!

My vote is for Hillary even if I have to write it in. Obama will NEVER get my vote. No experience, no voting record, plays the race card when convienent and keeps close company with very questionable people.

Is Hillary citing michigan as an example for third world dictators on how to win at least a primary election. In other words, make sure your name is the only name on the ballot and your opponent's name is not on the ballot and then declare victory saying 'I got the most votes.'

desparate times for desparate people.

Its time for the Leaders in the Democrate Party to get this soap opera over with . The Clintons need to get out of this foolish delusional world their living in and face reality.. The Clintons are just showing
how self -centered and narcissistic they really are

the world and most americans want change!

Hillary Clinton is not electable, she failed miserably.

Superdelegates bring this to an end.

Please Obama for the good of the country and the world, please drop out of the race.

Hillary and her supporters are delusional. Give it up you old bat!

As an Obama supporter, I am willing to take her at her words….given the Clinton's history, i simply cannot believe her mind is that sinister, so i think we can let this one go, considering how tired these candidates are on this very long campaign, and how they can word things in ways they do not mean

on the other hand—-> OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!! YOU HAVE MILLIONS BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY!! AND I WILL KEEP DONATING TO YOUR CAMPAIGN AS LONG AS I CAN!!!!

OBAMA 08!! DEMOCRATS 08!! UNITY IN 08!!!!!

Hillary Clinton said nothing wrong. She simply stated an Historical fact in reference to time. All you paranoids out there get your heads examined.

No room for the Clintons in this election. Give it up and do us a favour.

What a totally reprehensible woman! It's all about HILLARY, isn't it?

And exactly why does this hag wear nothing but pants suits? Isn't she butch enough in her demeanor?

I don't care what the news said I believe that Clinton new exactly what she said. Her thing all along is to say or do anything that she feels will get her the nomination Please don't let this happen No more Clinton's and I hope that Obama show that he means change and doesn't let the media goat him to choosing her as his running mate That will tell the voters that he didn't mean what he has said about change

How about an apology to Obama and his family . There was no excuse for what she said, but nothing surprises me with the Clintons. Power and greed, just like McCain.
Obama's the only one who can shake-up Washington!

Clinton has decided that the uneducated white population is her main voting bloc during this primary season. So maybe she thinks she should act like she's from W. Virginia in order to truly feel what it's like to be one of her supporters.
Well now you know Hillary – and it's not a great way to go through life.
So make an appropriate apology, start using your privileged educated background to pull this country together and rise above the racism that you so repulsively condoned for the past 5 months.

We know you're not stupid, so that leaves the country to believe that you're in need of some serious
counseling.

Are you voting for so called "Change" and "Yes we Can"? Well that was done before and you got Bush!!!! Don't make the mistake this time. Hillary Clinton is the only qualified Dem Nominee!!!

just shut that your stupid mouth hillary. your mother gave birth to you to be a big LOSER idiot. power hunger. all your evil thought Obama shall not prosper. you will live in pain to see Barak Obama become the next American president. hillary you area born arrogant loser

Enough with the "Rise Hillary Rise" already. The only image it conjures up is one of the undead.

Please go ahead and do vote for McCain, you bitter Clinton supporters. Most of us Obama supporters are well off and can weather anothers 4 years of high gas prices, compromised with lobbies, outsourcing of jobs and cuts in healthcare. Come next election time, most of you will be homeless, jobless and/or in poor health. Survival of the fittest.

It's a shame that Hillary's candidacy (and maybe career) had to end this way. The issue of race is such a phenomenon in America…It is one thing that can make a person of high esteem sink to the depths.

It hurts me that someone like Hillary Clinton, who I once admired so much, has let her supporters down in this way.

People need to learn that they have a responsibility to be role models to everyone. I can't imagine someone like Hillary, after all that has been said, deserving to be President of The United States.

She is MAD MAD MAD, just like the husband! Why are they keeping their supporters hoping they can still win??? Some one explain to that foolish family thet "IT IS OVER"!

It is very obvious why she is continuing to run. Her campaign is still bringing in money and if her campaign ends while it still owes her 11 million dollars, then she won't get that back. So, she continues to raise money while knowing that she has lost so that she doesn't personally take a financial hit

The Hillary supporters would rather put a gun to their heads than vote for Obama. But the simpler solution is to vote for McCain.

April in Texas I will never vote for Obama .I would rather vote and will vote McCain if Hillary doesn't get in..I feel Obama is fooling many people with his empty speeches..He talks in circles.. He has his own agenda ,but is making people think otherwise!!! Wake up People !!

Go Hillary!!

It will either be you or McCain!!

Obama can never win….he is an empty suit!!

I am asking Hillary to please do not drop out. We need you to go
the distance. Obama, is not what we need. This Country has turned
it's back on enough. In GOD we trust. We had better keep it that way.
Obama has to many questionable things in his resent past. To many
questionable people. We can't afford to overlook these very important
things. And my vote will go to McCain

Obama hasn't gotten the number of delegates he needs to win the nomination, even removing the delegates of FL and MI from the picture, so Hillary has every right to continue fighting.

OMG!- Is this the same person who said "I would not have attended Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years" or "We can't pick our families but we can pick our pastors"! How could her campaign charge OBAMA'S campaign with anything. She is sick,sick, sick. She is a delusional, selfish, unapologetic, liar, cheat, vindictive, nasty crybaby! I wouldn't be surprised if she's not purposely trying to damage the next woman's chances of running for President. Hillary supporters, if nothing else, I hope she has finally showed you her true colors!

OBAMA-08!

Denial is a heavy fog to dispel – and if Hillary has any authenticity left, she'll probably see if lift months after she's had down time to reflect, sleep, and recognize all that might have been.

As my young son might way, end the drama and elect Obama.

Has anyone told her that the nomination is not a constitutional right? I really think that she still believes we owe her the nomination.

I live in NH, in a small town. Eveyone I know of that voted for her in this town has expressed regret that they did so.

If the primaries were to be redone, I think she would find she has lost many that she thought she had. If this was the first time she had brought up the subject, I would have believed she regretted her comment. Back when we voted here, the subject was brought up and she never regrettted that one of her staff had said it.

Again, the rewriting of history, the inability to be honest and show a human side has made me ashamed. I would like to see the White House have the honor and prestige it once had. Hillary just wants to rent out the Lincoln bedroom again….

Hillary will still be campaigning in Janaury when Barack Obama is being sworn in as President. Barack is going to be one of greatest President's. A 60 year old w/white female voting for Barack Obama.

So it is ok for Hillary to claim that as the first female to reach this far in a primary election she should stay? I bet if Obama open is mouth and says as the first black person to reach this far I should stay and be nominated right away, the Clinton campaign would scream and say he is using the race card, but isn't she using the sex car by claiming that she is the first and only female to make it this far ? She talks about merits and experience, I have not seen what Hillary as accomplished in this country so far that is worth talking about. Her husband was to me a good president because when he left we had surpluses almost everywhere. But she can not use her Husband experience as her own. Also she wants to change the rules in the party because they do not favor her anymore, she forgot that those same rules got her husband elected twice. Moreover Hillary I think America is tired of having the same famillies running it. We've had Bush,Clinton,Clinton,Bush,Bush and now we are going to have a Clinton again, come on we want some change. I use to be one of your supporter but after this past months I am not anymore because I realized you are not running for the American people, but you are running so you can be able to brag abiut the fact that are the first women to be president in this country, It is not about you, it is about us the American people.

HRC can still rewrite her history and be remembered as the first woman who fought hard and broke all ceilings. Unfortunately, her tactics have always been so flawed and really does no good to women who will come after her. She takes great pride in being a fighter, and I admire that. But here is where she falls short, great fighters, fight by the rules, she does not stick to the rules after agreeing to. She should be labelled " the greatest back alley brawler of all times" Enough of blatantly changing the rules of engagement and moving goal posts.

How can she run a campaign with no sense of fiscal responsibility and then claim that she is the best qualified to handle the economy of the greatest nation on earth? You would think that she'd stop and analyse her fiances, but no, she continues to rack up debt. Reminds me of President Bush.

Summer's here and I am waiting on her promise for gas tax holiday that would guarantee cheaper gas. McCain promised the same. Still waiting…..

No human being should be excused for waiting on the sidelines just incase their opponent should die. The fact that she uttered those words, means she has given it some thought. This is not the person that I want leading my country.

After reading several of the comments here, I realize that there are a lot of people that are DUMB!

The "Media" and Barack Hussein are making the historical remarks of the Kennedy situation, TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT!!!!!

Barack Hussein Obama will never be elected President even if he does get the nominee (which I doubt he will). He will be unable to beat McCain in NOvember. Hillary Clinton is the only one that can beat McCain in November!

Barak Hussein Obama is a bogus, he speaks so well that convince people to stick with him but the fact his personality and character is far to be the leader of the most pwerful country. Hillary is the best for the position if she only managed well her campaign. Obama had lots of hidden ideas that would shock Americans someday. He's not of what he showed to the people. Be reminded folks lots of cheating and tricks happened during the primaries and caucuses which Barak Hussein Obama as the brain, he adopted or got those ideas from the 3rd world countries of how to win the election, remember how long he stayed in Indonesia and Kenya? and his ideology was not of what you think as of a Christian. This will be the start that Americans will get the technique and learn how to win the lection, it's not only by knowledge and intellects that people can win but by cheating. If people only know what Barack Hussein Obama is doing and his bogus personality will give them a total dismay. Please wake up Americans!!! God Bless!!

Barak you're a fake guy that people haven't know. Your'e an arrogant and very unlikalble to be the leader of the great nation.

She could said anything to state her case. She didn't have to reference Bobby Kennedy. Misstatement, indeed!

We the voters of Florida and Michigan want our votes and delegates to be counted as we voted. We the voters of the United States of America want Hillary Clinton to stay in the race until every vote is cast and every vote is counted. We the voters of the United States of Amercia think it is good for America to run the primaries until June, as it gives us a better understanding of the candidates' qualifications. And finally, we the voters of the United States of America want the super-delegates to be a part of the nomination process to ensure the best candidate for the party is selected.

Hillary doesn't have a good heart to stepdown…because, she is selfish and trying to destroy the party at the convention. If "SUPERDELEGATES ARE SMART"… then they should leave her and send a message to clintons before the convention. Otherwise, definitely it shows that how much America is clinging to color, race, power and money…which is dividing the core of democracy and.losing respect around the world…..shame on you… Hillary, be a role model for moral values..

OBAMA 2008..

These people are really un-un-unbelievable. She made a very big mistake by mentioning the "A" word and now they try to blame Obama for it. Really, I am speechless. Because Obama didn't react on her behalf right away, they say it's his fault things get out of hand. Superdelegates: come on, make your choice, because this is very bad for the democratic party.

Obama is trying to stir up things in Florida because he dosn't want their votes to count. Both MI and FL are going to be seated, we know that already. He is just trying to make sure that FL and MI will stay out of this race because he knows he's losing the popular vote.

These guys make me laugh. Hillary's campaign is famous for last minute, Friday afternoon bombshells that linger over the weekend. Obama's campaign made one statement Friday that I am aware of … that there was nolace oin this campaign for a remark like that.

Frankly this whole "I'm being pressured to drop from the race" is a line of crap. No one in any position of power is pushing her from the race. This is nonsense spread by her campaign to make her seem the victim – in hopes of swaying voters in the few remaining primaries.

Although I support Obama, I have nbo issue with her continuing her run, so long as she doesn't split the party. Of course, that's exactly what she and her chief stooge McAuliffe are doing. They are claiming that the Dem party is sexist – despite the leadership role of Nancy pelosi and other women in high office. They have used geraldine ferraro as their attack dog to unofficially press this point. They are positioning Hillary as the ONLY woman in America capable of ever running for the presidency – denigrating every woman in the party.

On top of all of that, her campaign is actively inflaming the democrats in Florida and Michigan as she positions herself as the defender of their voting rights – when she didn't give a rats patoot months ago when the decision was made. After all she figured she was a shoo in so she didn't need those voters anyway.

frankly, she underestimated her competition, over-estimated her strenght, mismanaged her funds and overspent (her claims that Obama is outspending her 3 or 4 to 1 tells all when you consider he only raised 20% more than her). In short her campaign management sounds a lot like the Bush Administration's management of the White House. Frankly, if you cannot run a well-organized campaign and manage your finances, you don't deserve the right to run the country which is infinitely more complex.

Its over for the clintons, we dont need you hillary just look at your comment.

It should never have been said or even thought period. There are many other examples you could have used. You poorly chose that one of them all. You are not winning and your electibility argument is out the window. I will never vote for a Clinton EVER. Face the reality that you have been beaten in politics by an unknown.. Your name isnt as important as you seem to think it is. I am a woman and by all polls I should be one of your supporters but thankfully I do think for myself and made the best choice for Obama..

Obama 08/09

We watched Reliable Sources today morning in CNN
After that our Votes for Hillary or Mc Cain
Caucuses system against the democracy no privacy when your are voting
Fl and MI Votes must count if don’t that also against the democracy
She is leading by popular votes
If she don’t get the nomination
Our votes for Mc Cain
Hillary 08

To Obama supporters, please stop antagonizing Hillary supporters. Soon enough they will realize what happened and the sooner they come into the Obama camp the better. To Clinton supporters, Nobody stole this from your candidate. Let's compare Obama to McBush and see the true democratic choice. If you really intend to vote for McBush over Obama then you were never a real democrat anyway. I want all real Democrats to come together right now over Obama.

Regardless of who wins the nomination, it is a shame that the voters did not select the nominee. Instead it is being done by party insiders. Just the type of business that I thought Senator Obama wanted to change. He should have agreed to let Florida and Michigan have a revote, but he felt his chances were better with the good ol boys.

She is not giving up. If she is not satisfied with the decision next Sat., she will appeal and keep appealing until the convention. When Obama reaches the magic number of 2,025, she will continue the argument that this is the wrong number. The Clintons really believe she will win the nomination by hook or by crook. And, they are both supposed to be of high intelligence!

And you call yourselves Americans? How dare you. One person – one vote is where we should be – THAT would be American. That would be freedom. Go Hillary!

Howard Dean-
Please shut the Clinton campaign down! Did you hear Howard Wolfson on CBS this morning? How about Terri McCauliffe on ABC? These people are stirring up the pot, pointing fingers in every direction but never looking in the mirror. They are causing the Democratic party harm. Not even the newscaster of CBS could hide incredulity regarding what the Clinton camp is verbalizing.

Gov. Dean, it's your job to lead the party. It's time to lead. It's been time to lead. Make a decision.

Where is the apology to the American people? Where is the apology to Obama?
Months ago I was elated that Obama our Hillary would be our nominee. After watching Hillary change the rules over and over again, use ads like the 3AM add, praise McCain on the Democratic ticket's expense, commit "gaffes" in Bosnia and this latest comment, I am convinced that I could never vote for someone like this. At the same time McCain is 10 times scarier still.
Obama seems to be the only rational candidate with as cool temper, sound judgment and moral character.

UNITE THE PARTY
DEMOCRATS 08
OBAMA 08

Don't forget that there were 56 individuals in the clinton inner circle that died of mysterious circumstances.

Its so deep, I need hipboots.

"Their response to Hillary's statement was what was inappropriate."

Gwen : Again with the Clintonista lies and spin…the Obama camp said NOTHING more than 1 sentence. They said it was "unfortunate", and after that Obama said he "took her at her word".

STOP with the lies, Clinton people. Your candidate lost, and is self-destructing.

As Hillary rides off into the sunset don't let the door hit you in the behind!

Please step down you are hurting the party toward november
general election. You can change the rules that you agreed to.
You are losing now you want the clinton rules only. If you were the front
runner,you would not be challenging the rules you did not object in
the beginning. What was good for other is good for you as well,so
step down after june 1st

Why are comments to this article open and to the above article closed?

The month of June will come and go like all other months. What will be her excuse then.

I'm appalled in the first place, but also by her non-apology apology. And only directed to the Kennedy's. She's harmed the nation, harmed the sacntity and integrity of our political debate and competiion.

She needs to apologize to all of us, and indirectly/implicitly to Obama without naming him publicly.

But only if she's sincere. And if she doesn't see the harm in what she said to all of us, that speaks volumes about her.

ALSO:

Where are the big public poltical an social leaders–Dems, Republicans, White House on condemning her?

Had Putin, or Chavez, or Musharraf, or Castro or any politician anywhere in the world said something like this, they would have been condemned swiftly and universally by those types in the US.

The problem with Sen Clinton's argument regarding the Delegate Math as opposed to the Electoral Math is that it is fundmentally flawed. DNC uses the Delegate Math in the nomination of a Candidate, the Electoral Math is basically unproven and can only be determined after the General Election. Sen Obama is leading in the Delegate Math. America at this point is looking for a Visionary who carries the banner of "change". The Experence argument will not work in this kind of atmosphere. Looking at the solid campaign that Sen Obama has run, would to show that all a Commander in Chief would need to do is surround himself/herself with the best people with the necessary experience to help him to his job as President effectively. America is screaming for change and Sen Obama is a very appealing canditate right now. This would make him very electable as a nominee and in the General Election.

Oh! It is now Obama's fault? Why did she apologize then?

Obama is even gracious to accept her apology and let the issue die.

When the Obama bitter-gaffe occurred, Hillary & her campaign played it over and over again for weeks…They even made TV Ad buys on it; she exploited it to the maximum, despited the fact that what Obama said was true but he choose poor wordings to express it just like Hillary did in this gaffe.

What a shame on Hillary and her Campaign.

Hillary Clinton is the best qualified candidate and deserves to win this election. The biased male-dominated media is pushing to get Obama elected by publishing negative articles about Clinton. I am so sick of it that if Obama is eventually elected and does not offer Clinton the v.p. slot, I won't vote for him because it simply proves that he is an elitist who thinks he is better than Clinton and all of her supporters.

Stay in the race Hillary! And no DO NOT accept the VP nomination if Obama should clinche the number 1 position on the ticket. It will be a lost cause and with your head strong ways all of your supporters don't want to see your name on a losing ticket. Let the sexist fools send Obama to slaughter! Exit stratergy……………… brush yourself off walk away tommorow is another day.

I wish the Clintons would just go far far away. I'm getting very angry at the supers for letting this pathetic race continue. Obama only needs 50 delegates before June 1st. This can be done and I wish it happens.

"Obama campaign inflaming it"

How? Show me a quote, liars. The PEOPLE are outraged…rightfully so.

There are over 14,000 comments on Huffington and more on MSNBC…those are REAL people.

Stop blaming everything (FLA and MI, this, sexism etc.) on Obama.

Always the victim, Hillary.

From one of your many admirers — *THANK YOU, HILLARY* — for staying in this race. Please don't let Jimmy Carter and his crew get you down. You've come too far to stop now and you're the best hope we've got.

There is a problem with Hillary Clinton's comparision of her campaign with Bob Kennedy and her husband in 1968 and 1992. The fact is those two candidates respective campaigns were not in debt with the Election Commission. The legitimacies of their campaigns were seen. Hillary is only continuing because she wants to put the DNC and Obama into more debt. Her campaign is mismanaged regardless of the amount she has raised. Yes, she has won most of the electoral states. But the primary has never been determined by who won the most electoral states. So her staying in is only hurting the possibility of the Demoncratic Party chance of winning in November.

The Obama campaign has pretty much not made an issue of her insensitive and bizarre statements. Unlike the Clinton campaign which has tried to jump on every single gaffe Obama has made. If Clinton insists on staying in the race at least run a dignificed campaign

The Obama camp and their supporters are just devious old politics as usual. Take an innocent comment by your opponent, the meaning of which was clear, and twist it beyond credulity in order to demonize them.

Clinton is a master at this too, but at least she doesn't pretend otherwise.

McAuliffe is a fool. The Obama campaign did not inflame anything, they simply responded to an outragious and irresponsible statement. Obama took the high road as usual and is letting it go. He knows that mispeaks happen in a long campaign. McAuliffe is one of the reasons we have problems in the dem party.

Obama takes the high road.
Clinton takes the low road.

Obama has the integrity I want in a president.

LIAR LIAR. You got the idea after what Huckubee said. People were worried about his comment, so you decided to use it for your advantage. It did not seem to bother you that Barak has two small children. You just want to be President no matter what. Even if it is to hurt the best candidate Democrats have had for quiet some years.

Hillary, you are a wicked wicked woman in many ways.

That's all I have to say.

Thank you, Hillary for pointing out the absurdity to media hype on this matter. Obama could have taken the high road by defending your remarks and criticizing the pundits who overreacted. Instead, they fanned the flames, like they have been doing throughout this campaign. This is what they live for. They are sick individuals.

She is not only hurting the democratic party, she is hurting her political future. The longer she stays in this race, the higher her chances of misspeaking again.

I think it is clear that the Clinton's own the Democratic Party, not the voters. If she were any other candidate, the super delegates would have fallen in line behind the candidate chosen by the people-Obama-and ended this already. Instead, due to either loyalty or fear of the Clinton machine, they are letting her tear down our candidate, thus harming our chances for victory in the fall. When this is all said and done, I think we need to hold another election-to get rid of the party leaders and insiders who are allowing this to happen.

Your royal highness–take your circus and the clowns that support you out for a listening tour..WE reject you and your 35 year old plan of power and evil…GO AWAY and take care of bubbas' needs. Again,WE reject you.

I tend to believe that she honestly means all of this, but she destroys her own credability with some of her contentions. How can I take her seriously on things like this whe she contends that we should count the MI vote as-is, when Obama wasn't even on the ballot? Hillary has an unfortunate set of mismatched arguments that contradict each other. She wants to count MI and FL and all of their popular votes because she doesn't want to disenfranchise those voters. But then she doesn't include or even account for some of the caucus states. I guess she wasn't as worried about disenfranchising voters in those states. When she shows such a lack of any real moral conscience or sense of basic right and wrong on these issues, why should I give her any credability on any of these other issues?

I read the entire thing and also watched the ENTIRE video. Hillary Clinton said NOTHING wrong. In fact, she made the same comments in prior interviews. When you see the entire video you can witness for yourself that she was referring to the DATE (June) as the reason for staying in the race because other DEM nominations have gone on through June as well.

Furthermore, I have learned that Ted Kennedy took his fight all the way to the convention floor against Carter – an incumbent Pres – and Ted Kennedy had far less delegates.

I not only hope that Hillary stays in the race until the convention, I hope the super delegates realize that she's the one to beat McCain.

I will NOT vote for Obama if he's the nominee. And as a lifelong democrat, this should concern the party.

I would vote for McCain in a general election. I keep hearing he's pro-life and so this will turn off tons of women. True. But that isn't the only issue – Experience and national security DOES matter. Obama has neither.

WHY IS THIS OBAMA'S FAULT – CLINTON SAID THE WORDS!! QUIT WITH THE EXCUSES HILLARY!

I say Hillary all the way, Forget the Party and there whining, if Obama gets Nomination stay on November Ballot as a Independent and win it! Obama and McCain are an Economic Disaster waiting to Happen!

She is such a liar. I can't believe anybody would take her seriously anymore. Hillary go away!

It's very easy to try to rectify a gaff. As of me personnaly I think she is just expressing what she has in her subconscionus. I don't buy that argument when their is no chance of winning the nomination do to the math. Imagine a little beat of Obama in her position making this kinda statment. What will her supporters say? what will the media do?
I bet they will call for his resignation. Fortunately Obama is so geniously protecting her by downplaying this. That is why I will support him with my last breath.

You run not for the country,nor for the people but you run bc you are hungry for the power.

Lady Please

Your entire campaign has been hinting 'something can happen to Obama' or 'some type of act of GOD'. You are a LIAR and Mentally ILL. You are NOT fit to run this country and YOU will NOT be re-elected by the good people of NYS for Anything!

WORDS MATTER especially if you and your campaign said those words over and over and over again.

You misspoke about Bosnia, you misspoke about Ireland, you misspoke about China, you misspoke about NAFTA, you misspoke about the dying woman and I can bet my whole life savings we will find that you misspoke about the boy who ‘sold his bike’ to donate to your campaign. You misspeak like President George Bush but with the audacity of not taking responsibility for setting the stage for something to happen to one of your fellow Americans.

Blaming the Obama campaign for your FAILURE to act like an adult and take responsibility only adds to the insult. You NEVER take responsibility as if you’re incapable of accepting the truth. You are a congenital LIAR and suffers from ‘Learned Helplessness’ but the campaign trail is NOT the place to get help!

You should be arrested upon entering NYS. You silly woman are a disgrace and ANYTHING you say from this point forward will be muted out because I HATE listening to divisive LIARS.

WHY ON EARTH DO YOU THINK THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN OWE YOU ANYTHING? THAT WAS YOUR MISTAKE AND YOUR JOB TO FIX IT.

mcauliffe is so paranoid ,about the obama camp's,strategical success,that he's reading more into what their response was.the clinton campaign is very lucky that the obama campaign didn't take this 'ball' and run with it until the clock runs out.people are a lot more upset with her statement,than either of the campaigns.the reactions to her comments ,will last longer than any apology or excuse,just like huckabee's dumb 'joke'.americans are sensitive to remarks of this nature,with good reason.many of our best leaders have been taken away from this country, most of those who remained, aren't worth the ground they stand on.we've become immune to fear tactics,and this statement,will be construed by many to be a subliminal example of one.this is obama's ticket to the white house,to be able to make those tactics ineffective.it has worked well against hillary's attempts at it,and will work much better against the republicans,because it's the only tactic they have left.just remember,"there is nothing to fear ,but ,fear itself."

Sen. Clinton has only one shot. If she captures 50 delegates in the remaining races and Obama scores 36. Obama still wins if you seat all of the delegates from MI and FL. The only way Sen. Clinton can pull this out is if she is to have the delegates that she did not win in MI remain uncommitted and thus forcing Obama to have to convince those uncommitted delegates to support him. But it would also give Sen. Clinton the opportunity to convince them they should vote for her.

The DNC on the other hand cannot afford to award the all of the delegates. Particularly when the Republicans took away half of the delegates from those states. The DNC has penalize the early jumpers or they will lose control of the primary process.

Now that gambit can only gain her the pledged delegate lead. She would have reverse Obama's super delegate lead to overtake him.

Why you ACTUALLY continue to run:

BECAUSE YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT YOURSELF.

How else to explain your continuation to destroy the party with fear mongering, racist division when your chance of winning is 1%….

That's not what any unselfish person would do if he/she truly cares about the party.

And Wolfson: Oh, NOW it's OBAMA's FAULT she made those regrettable comments?

Many African people used to think that USA political leaders are trustworthy. Are American politicians in the position to condemn Mugabe while in 2000 COUNTING-RECOUNTING gave a clear picture of a Cow-Boy Democracy?
Now, what do we learn with Hellary : "I'm losing, I'm the best to have racial and non educated people vote " Poor USA ! Let new immigrant come to USA and educate you real values. I'm personally amused to see how some news reporters are visibly suffering while anouncing Obama victories. Hopefully I'm a Canadian.
God bless America!?

Hillary repeated as farce

What Ms. Clinton is not saying about her insistence to continue to be in a fight that has been long over speaks more volumes than the reason she is giving for staying. Maybe she needs to tell us which fight and who is in the fight with. As for '08 democratice presidential nomination, the lights are out and decsision made.

President Obama will be the choice of the American People!

That sound you hear is the sound of the goalposts moving again.

With Bill now having introduced the new strategy that the pledged superdelegates can flip if she looks strong enough, it is now NOT about reaching 2026, or 2209, it will become about electability.

Now it is going to be about what the last X primary results show. After Tuesday, Hillary – uless she concedes finally – will pick some number of the last primaries that suits her need and will proclaim that in spite of being outspent, she won X of the last Y primaries which shows the people want her, etc. etc.

In her warped mind, she will "rightfully deserve" more superdelegate support and they will work the rooms to convince Supers who have already pledged to Obama to "flip" before the convention to change the math.

This popular vote farce is a joke and somebody ought to literally take her to task to demonstrate what equation she is using to MANIPULATE the American public.

She is looking more and more insane and out of touch by the day, and more and more people are tirng by the day. Obama needs to play hard ball now while she is looking foolish.

Hillary don,t quite,stay in this race ,we need you in the white house-Obama can,t win come Oct.

WHY WON,T OBAMA ASK CLINTON TO B HIS VP? HE CAN,T WIN WITH OUT HER

the Obama camp is on the attack, they think they've got the edge and their trying to go in for the kill. Their response to Hillary's statement was what was inappropriate. It was obvious she was trying to say campaigns have gone well into June, that it's nothing unusual. We're seeing how really nasty Obama and his people can be. His supporters have made that obious for a long time. If Hillary doesn't win the nom, I hope to GOD that the McCain wins. I for one will be voting for Hillary, write in if need be. I won't even vote for Obama if she's his VP, you don't vote for VP's.

3 decades of either a Clinton or a Bush ius just too much. Just look at the poor shape America is in both Financially and International reputation. TIME FOR A CHANGE

Even after Obama admitted he had made a BAD choice of words,in the Bitter remark,Did the Clintons back OFF??? NO! So she should be VERY happy he don't run the Same Type Campaign as Her.

Because rich women always get what they want – one way or another.
I can't help wonder after her comments the other day about Bobby Kennedy, if Hillary isn't beyond putting a contract out on Obama. (It certainly would be cheaper than her campaign loans.)
This spoiled woman is truly self-serving with an ego without boundaries.
Superdelegates please put an end to this once an for all!

Terry McAuliffe should know. The Clinton campaign is expert at inflaming a situation and then sitting back to watch the sharks feed.

The superdelegates need to end this disgusting display of ego now. it's done a lot of damage to this country.

ONLY THE STUPID PEOPLE LIKE WHAT YOU'RE HAVING TO DEAL WITH IN THIS ELECTION WOULD EVEN ENTERTAIN THE NOTION HILLARY THAT YOU SAID SOMETHING ABOUT ROBERT K. THAT WOULD REFLECT ON OBAMA. HE AND HIS SUPPORTER'S NEED TO HAVE A REALITY CHECK. HE OR THEY ARE NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE TO BE CONCERNED WITH.

It's obvious Hillary was referencing Bobby Kennedy's attempt to win the nomination in June of '68 despite being behind in the delegate count. She was comparing her own situation to that of Bobby Kennedy in 1968. The immaturity of Obama supporters exploiting this comment for political gain is galling and reprehensible. Many Obama suppporters seem to be very young, very immature, have little or no knowledge of American political history and are simply trying to push the buttons of Clinton supporters.

Just face it Hillary..the comment was in bad taste. The Obama camp never inflamed the issue, he even said he didn't think you meant anything by it. You are constantly trying to paint a bad picture of Obama. It didn't work before and it won't work now.

Hellary's compaign noticed that whatever jab the throw, it lands in their own face. Now, they try to accue Obama of inflaming the race.
That is very IMMATURE and shows the LOWEST LEVEL of DIGNITY.
As she said herself, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of kitchen"…time for you to go, you sore loser.

She lost the primaries and caucauses because of lack of focus and thinking of herself above everyone else. And her superdelegates publicly voice that she can't win.
The reason she stays in the race is because of lack of care for the people, because of selfishness and to make sure McCobra and repblicans have more time to completely bring America to its knees in both domestic and global grounds.

Surely, she'll lose the senate seat next election and we'll never get to see her again…

Please, please please Senator Clinton. Drop out of the race for the good of the nation!

Aside all of Hillary's rhetoric, the reason she is still running is that she lacks the courage, character, intgrity and the intelligence to withdraw. Kenny Rodgers' song with the lyrics: "know when to hold, know when to fold and know when to walk away" is really appropriate in her case. It is more and more obvious that she wants to take Obama and the Party down with her. That is truly sad!

Clinton is a fool. That is both of them. From the swindels from the governship too Bills Presidency, the Clintons have proved that they are big business and thro scraps to the underlings. She is a idiot and he's just looking for another tryst.

The most certain way to end this Hillary Clinton losing campaign would be for Barack Obama to offer Bill Clinton the vice presidency. Bill Clinton would put tracks on Hillary Clinton's back to accept. She'd no longer have him feeding her a bunch of nonsense and could bow out gracefully as she should have already done.

She should stay in the race.

She can still win.

Michigan & Fl, she stood up for you,

Stand up for her.

She will be a good president!

"Must Read" ??????????????????????

How about "MUST DROP OUT" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This "lady" is divisive and unelectable, and clearly shows signs of emotional and mental disturbance. She is in such a state of shock and denial that she is becoming divorced from reality .

The Obama camp didnt make the comment. Obama didnt jump on her. He spoke to reporters and made the point that we need to take her words. The Clinton camp always wants to point to there actions being taking out of content. Not only did she make those comments on Friday, she also made those comments in the past. It is what it is.

Clinton and her campaign co-chairman (McAuliffe) are living in another world. One in which two plus two equals one hundred and fifty!!

She started the whole thing with her reference to RFK . Obama was asked by a reporter about what she said and he simply replied that her comment was unfortunate. That was all he said. He wasn't trying to blow the whole thing out of proportion – that is one of Hillary's tricks, not his. What Clinton and her campaign is trying to do now is shift the blame to Obama. As if he was the one who started this whole mess in the first place.

And for Bill Clinton to come out now and say that if Hillary wins Montana then she has a chance to win the nomination is absolutely stupid. That big fat blow hard should just shut his big fat mouth. The superdelegates are not going to all of a sudden come out in support of Hillary. And she isn't going to win Montana anyway, so he's only spewing a bunch of hot air.

sad state of affairs-i dont know whose worse; clinton herself or her advisors; these people clearly have no agenda but to tear the democratic party down.

Senator Clinton is savvy enough to know what she is doing. Its amazing how she is depending on "HOPE". Hoping that something happens to Sentor Obama. The american people have been hoping you get the messge. Go home! We have a preseident to pick for 2008.

Why is Terry McAuliffe trying to blame the Obama for this? HRC IS THE ONE THAT SAID IT! The Obama camp has had very little to say about it…unlike the Wright and "bitter" situtation, the Clinton camp fed that for days. They lie, pander, and will do anytihng to win..Thank God it is late and they will be gone in a couple of days……all of them including Terry McAuliffe.

Obama And His Campaign Are Worried . They Know You Can Win !!!
They're Trying To Spin Anything They Can Thinking We Are going To Believe Them . This Democrat Can't be Fooled By Obama . We Need A Strong Pro – American President Now !!

HILLARY , Or John McCain 2008

You are Desperate for a win. You are still in the race hopeing something will happen to Barack to knock him out of the race & then you can win that way. Your DARK side is showing for all to see & we have seen it. It is Outrageous that you can make remarks like this, & all the other personal attacks on Barack and get by with it. The DNC should end this race now. It is obvious you are out for YOURSELF, not the Dem Party, you have hurt the Dem Party.

Hillary's not to be critcized for her June remarks about 1992 or 1968. She is to be criticized for her campaign that has squandered a huge lead and squandered over $200 Million Dollars and is still over $20 Million in debt. She champions health care and education and road safety, (rebuilding highways and bridges after the I-35 bridge collapse in Minnesota last August) and that she is ready to be commander is chief to fight terrorism and Al Queda in Afghanistan, and saying she'e ready on day one.

The reality: she did not do her HOMEWORK and did not bother to even read the Intelligence Report on her desk before authorizing the initiation of war in Iraq. She did not do her HOMEWORK listening to economists about the Gas Tax Holiday she proposed for s limited period this summer that she had no power to enact, would be ineffective reducing gas prices and would pull the rug out from under bridge and road safety. She lied about Bosnia – this reveals her character not as a leader but as a schemere and a panderer who does not think about what she says nor about what she does.

Hillary is all bout REASONS THAT SOUND GOOD … NOT GOOD SOUND REASONS! That might be good enough for West Virginian, or for racists or for the undeducated uninformed constituency to whom she appeals. It nevertheless explains why she now trails so badly in delegates and why her campaign is $20 Million in debt.

The only 3AM phone calls she'll be getting are from bill collectors, loan sharks and from a husband who's working late at the office with a young intern!

Mike

I don't think the comment about RJK was enything but that. The longer you have to think you can win and keep attacking, you risk the chance of a misspeak that will be a bigger headache that ever before.
You should have stayed in the race but don't runn with the mouth to hurt Barack and make sure the DEM. win the WH

Oh, Terry McAuliffe can stick it! Like Clinton didn't blow up Obama's bitter comments. Blew them way out of context and almost cost him deeply. Obama was asked about what he thought about the RFK comment and he actually defended Hillary Clinton. She could learn quite a few lessons from this humble, smart man. It wasn't the Obama campaign only..there were alot of people outraged by her comment. Like Obama, I tried to give her the benefit. Now her campaign is crying as usual. Suck it up!

Oh! come on…first it was the White vote in Penn,W.V. and Ky and she said she was just stating the facts. Now this. Hillary you have changed, you're not the person I thought I knew.

Did I miss something? Obama camp hyped-up Clinton's remarks? The Drudge Report got it first and it was streamed via the internet. I believe Sen. Obama has taken the high road once again.
Hillary jumped on Obama's "Bitter" comments and any other gaffe without the same respect that he's given her.
In my opinion, Obama has clearly displayed leadership over and over.

Hillary,
will you have a clean conscience if they evre give you the nomination?
Remember that this nomination has to be earn not steal, if you ever get this nomiation you are not any better than bush.
Seriously you do not have to be the the first woman president of the US. By you continuing to do whta you are doing you are making it 3 time harder for any other woman to become president soon and specially for your daughter if she ever want to run for that position

Let's talk about the "bitter" comment… Hillary threw in jabs against Senator Obama at every campaign stop. Hillary and her campaign are hippocrites and cowards. What Terry MacAuliffe calls disengenuous is the civil, upstanding and honorable way Senator Obama has run his campaign from day one – Hillary and her crew would know nothing about that.

Obama is the race baiter; Obama inspires hatred and animosity. His last statement concerning Hillary's statement on history is just one more in his long line of hate mongering. First he makes the negative statement; then he accepts her explanation while his campaign continues to send out negative statements on the same issue. His claim to be the positive candidate is a farce; those who believe him are simply hanging on to his superficial statements instead of digging down into what he has done and said. He is a hate monger.

I know how bad the math is but I also know Obama and his supporters are delusional if they believe Hillary supporters will forget his disrespectful and hate-filled campaign and vote for him in November. There is nothing he can do to change this, not even making Hillary the vp candidate.

This election is like '68 all over again. Look at the states that Obama has lost. This is the year that Democrats could have won but they have allowed the small majority that controls the Democrat party (for the last two decades) and the media control, this election. The "silent majority" will speak with their votes election day and it will not be Obama. (They may vote holding their nose and voting Republican, but they prefer that to an Obama Presidency. Obama may have eventually distanced himself from Rev. Wright, but it took him 20 years!!!)

McAuliffe is dead wrong. The comment was a Freudian slip. If anything were to happen to Senator Obama, this reference will be remembered and I doubt if the Democratic party would turn to Clinton in that event. We forgave "hardworking white people." This, though, is beyond the pale. Hillary Clinton is half ambitious and half pure poison.
P.S. I am a lifelong Democrat.

No Hillary, you stay in the race because you and Bill love controversy. Its all clear now why you stayed with Bill after his affair with Monica…..the controversy “excited” you both!

You Hillary….have no merits, can’t even lead a campaign effectively lone enough provide the leadership that this Country needs. You are not leading in popular vote – YOU agreed to not count MI or Fl until you realized you needed us. MI & FL will get seated somehow someway; no one doubts that in the end our votes will count – but not for Hillary!

I venture to say that if the Caucuses and Primaries started all over today across the nation it wouldn’t take long for Barack to flush the Clinton’s right down the toilet.

You’re right about one thing…this is not American Idol, so quit acting like it is because Barrack is certainly not the one acting that way.

Barack is running a clean campaign, staying with the issues, speaking the truth; he’s running within budget, he’s organized, on-top of everything! That’s the kind of leadership this Country needs.

We need CHANGE, no more old Washington politics, and you Hillary [and Bill] are the nothing but the old!

You want to rally the Democratic Party…..??? Then get out and back Barack so that we can take the Whitehouse this year but without you in it. Not as the President, not as the Vice President.

Watch out Hillary, Barack is about to become your boss!

BARACK OBAMA 08 & 12!

Thank you Mrs Clinton for staying in the race. Not all people want Mr Obama running. With his strange ties to his church, his lack of experience, and the way he has conducted himself leaves many people umcomfortable. Sadly, many people are not looking at this as a hiring decision but more a popularity contest. Thank you for staying in and giving us a more experienced and sensible choice! Now, if only others could see things more clearly through their Obama induced fog.

Com'on – please don't give us that BS that she has a better chance to beating McCain… It's a lot of crap. If she indeed has an edge, why can't her numbers show it! The best to prove it is through the primaries and caucuses. She has been measured and she failed miserably…

If you really care for America, please do us some good and bow out gracefully.

Hey Hillary I know a good shrink ………. please just talk to him.

Cliton you are sick! just leave already with out making the Democratic party suffer and more significantly with out looking like a fool in front of the whole world

As is often true, it's not the thing someone says, it's how that person reacts to the fallout that causes the problem. Hillary Clinton, after THREE DAYS and with the time to craft an op-ed, STILL HAS NOT apologized to Barack Obama. She is despicable.

Hillary's comments could be construed in the most terrible and dangerous way. The Democratic Party must take action to remove her from the campaign for President or even Vice President.

The math is not in her favor. Why have primaries spending millions of dollars if it does not contribute to the Presidential nomination.

Wait it's Obama's fault that Clinton said those words? Jesus , what type of people has clinton surrounded herself with. SHUTUP and apologize to Obama and his family so we can put this behind us.

That is distasteful, Hillary.

The NEGATIVE publicity of Hillary Clinton's historical reference to the timeline of democratic primary contests is un-warranted. Senator Clinton was simply making a historical reference and providing examples of primary contests that have lasted until June (1992 and 1968). I FAIL TO SEE HOW THIS IS A RACIST STATEMENT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW REFERENCING HISTORY IN SUPPORT OF STAYING IN THE RACE UNTIL EVERY VOTE IS CAST AND COUNTED IS RACIST?

HILLARY, I certainly hope you continue to run. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT ACCEPT A VP slot next to Obama. After four years of him they will ride him out of the country on a rail. Eventually the SUPER DELEGATES WILL SEE THE LIGHT. Obama can not win this election. There are far too many of us Democrats that will switch and vote for JOHN McCAIN BEFORE WE'LL VOTE FOR HIM OR SIMPLY WILL NOT VOTE.

DNC YOU HAD BETTER LISTEN TO THE HOWL OUT HERE. "LET MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA VOTES BE COUNTED AS VOTED." THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN THOSE STATES HAVE BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR. IF YOU DECIDE TO DIVIDE THEM LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THERE IS A LOT OF DEMOCRATS THAT ARE GOING TO WALK AWAY FROM THE PARTY. YOU WILL HAVE DESTROYED STATE'S RIGHTS. YOU NEARLY DID THIS WHEN YOU INTERFERD WITH THEIR DECISION OF WHEN TO HOLD AN ELECTION. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHTS TO DO THIS. I BLAME THIS ON YOU – DEAN & PELOSI – TWO LOSERS.

The American people know what's on Hillary's mind. Suggesting that scenario as a reason for staying in the hunt only gives some idiot an idea that they may act on. She should drop out of the race. Remember she is the veteran political candidate extraordinaire…she knows what she is doing. Now if she can only pay her campaign costs off and not screw those people over.

iF she's going to make stupid statements like that, she should not be president. And if she was tired and sleep deprived, how's she suppose to answer the phone at 3 o'clock in the morning and make a decisive decision? We don't need a president that always misspeak and has visions of snipers shooting at her. That proves Hillary will not be a good president or VP. She's always tired and it causes her to misspeak. Yeah, uh,huh.

Here's my suggestion for Hillary. Since she want snipers to shoot at her, she should move to Iraq and run for president. That way she will have her snipers and be the first woman pantsuit wearing president. HOORAY for Hillary!

**************VOTE FOR HILLARY******************
1. To be mentally evaluated.
2. To sharpen her math skills.
3. To REPENT!

Ex-HIL – LIE – RY SUPPORT
(Hard working white, black, latino, asian Americans with morals and love for the democratic party)

Hillary should realize that being president is not an entitlement that she deserve. The country vote on the person they think will best run the country. Her track record in this campaign has shown she is not the best person for example budget, supervision of her staff, lying, and a host of other issues.

I believe her husband wrapped up his nimonation well ahead of California primary in 1992. Please check the facts. Bringing up Bobby Kennedy is the worst thing she did (she did it back in March also). She could use lots of other refrences if she wanted to…
I believe America is tire of Bush and Clintons. We do need change!!! We need younger blood to get this country on the right track. We need to stop borrowing money from China and need to stop this bleeding NOW…

You've made every points available Hillary, its time to go pls.

Ha,ha,ha,ha!

Hillary has only herself to blame for her remarks!

I recall how Hillary and her campaign – blew-up bitter-gate and clinging-gate!

Obama played this game a different way! Let the media run with it and let person weigh in!!!

Obama is a better person than me! I would have put a lot of gas on this issue! Instead——————— he let her squim and then 24 hours later made his comments!

I don't blame him! Hillary has mean nasty in this race!

Hey Hillary, you continue to run because your overpowering ambition drives you to it… because you think the Democratic party owes you the nomination… somehow… because you hope that Obama will make a big mistake. I am not a politician or an expert on American politics, Hillary, but the way I see it, the only way you can win is through treachery and skullduggery, and winning that way will cause a firestorm in the Democratic party. The way I see it, you want to win so badly, you don't care if you blow up the Democractic party…

Hillary will will the nominee if she keeps on staying and focussed

Terry & other surrogates of Clinton-stop spinning. Its over.

Hillary, please, do continue to very end of elections.

I read in one of the following articles, but could not add my voice there.
I read this :
"Michelle Obama, the candidate's wife, is his closest confidant. She often says, "I'm not his senior adviser, I'm his wife." But she also talks about how dinner conversations about their family are what's in his mind when he's crafting policy. She's the ultimate truth teller to the candidate; he calls her for feedback after debates. She has led the campaign's outreach to female voters: As a lawyer and hospital executive, she provides evidence that Obama respects strong women even as he's campaigning against one."

so, Obama is not able to make his own decision, he has to report to his wife, he has to look for OK in his wife. How strong president he will be? Not strong – he HAS to go for approval to his wife!!!!!
So, who will be runing this country? Michele! Not Barack.
Does anybody realize this?

There is no excuse for the Clinton statement. She did it and it stands. It took her off the table as a candidate and shows just how troubled she is personally. Not a person you want representing you at international events on the world stage. She isn't trustworthy or honest. She is no longer believeable. She has ruined things for herself. She has no one to blame but herself. She is a tragic figure in American politics-along with her husband.

So you say something stupid and its his fault people are upset? You're amazing!!!!!! Why can't you just say " I'm sorry, it was dumb, I don't want ANYONE (not just the Kennedy family) to be offended ." I don't think you realize what you said was wrong and there is something VERY wrong about that.

P.S. if you want to be vp you probally shouldn't continue to reference the possible death of the President.

Note to the DNC—

If you want my vote in November, you better count it now!
And not 1/2 a vote. I'm not 1/2 a person.

And don't tell me about some rules made by party hacks. They make rules for their own agendas.

In America, it's one person, one vote, and they all count.

She continues to run because she's stubborn and out of touch with reality, similar to another politician – GWB.

All I know is that Clinton's campaign for me has turned into a long national nightmare. I would have left this comment at the previous article but after only two comments the comments were closed. It makes me sad that the Clintons want the presidency again so badly that they are willing to say and do anything. They deserve to be attacked but mostly they deserve to loose. Talk about greedy for power – they've already had the presidency 8 years. Let's move on from Bush-Clinton-Bush to Obama.

The damage is done. Nobody pushed her to make this comment so Hillary' campaign should not blame Obama Campaign for this problem. By the way why do they see every problem as though Obama made it up. Sounds a lot like being a sore loser. I would be very surprised if the superdelagates give her the nomination based on her maths.

she is so far removed from reality – she says out loud something from a dark evil place in her heart tries to change all the rules mid game but you know it's all about her. time to take a long vacation in a soft walled room.

"McAuliffe said the Obama campaign’s claim that they did not want to attack Clinton over the remark were disingenuous because of the decision to criticize Clinton on Friday, which “got it going so the story would be around for three days. It's nice to get a story going and then, you know, let it go for three days over the weekend and say, ‘Oh, she didn't mean anything about it."

Terry McAuliffe is just as out of touch as her candidate. BO spoke up yesterday, more than once, and said that he did not fault her and accepted her clarification, taking her at her word that she did not mean anything by it. Stop blaming BO for the careless words spoken by your candidate and the backlash it has caused.

The fact that this has gone into three days is in part the media who continues to talk about it and the supporters who also continue to flame about it.

Come on guys she just "misspoke" once again !! If Obama had said the same she´d be ravaging about how wrong, disrespectful, …..etc….etc…. Obama is and adding that "no chance of wining the general election" line. We have seen it too many times and frankly it´s geting boring.

PLEASE MAKE HILLY & BILLY GO AWAY AND GIVE US OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY BACK .

YOU LEFT YOUR BELOVED ARKANSAS SUPPOSEDLY TO SERVE YOUR BELOVED NEW YORK STATE ALTHOUGH APPARENTLY YOU HAVE BELOVED TIES TO PENNSYLVANIA…WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO SPLIT YOUR DEVOTION NOW TO 47 OTHER STATES..??? ISN'T FOCUSING ON ARKANSAS, NEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA ENOUGH ??

COULDN'T BE ABOUT YOU ..COULD IT ?

BTW.. YOUR SNIPER ERROR, YOUR KENNEDY ERROR, YOUR MARK PENN ERROR, YOUR CAMPAIGN FINANCE ERRORS, YOUR CAMPAIGN MANAGEMENT ERRORS, MAKES ME WONDER IF YOU WOULD BE READY ON DAY 365 !

THEY'RE MAY BE HOPE FOR CHELSEA BUT GIVE US AT LEAST AN 8 YEAR RESPITE.

Hillary has showed she could not run the Whitehouse and didn't know what was going on under her nose with Bill and Monica, she can't run her campaign and she can't tell the difference in the truth or a lie. The last time she mis-spoked was when she said that Bill's campaign was finished in June 1992. Bill knew he was the nomniee in March,. It wasn't because the Kennedy's were on her mind. She said the same horrible thing about Bobby in March. She blames everything that is a lie on how tired she or she has been without sleep. How can she possible run the country? Especially, with all of her 3:00 am telephone calls. I'm a 60 year old Republican w/white women from Texas voting for Barack Obama and proud of it and proud of him. YES WE CAN WHEN WE UNITE.

You're still going to lose Hillary. And when you lose, you will need to pay back all of your special interests back some other way than with our tax money.

Imagine her known arrogance in telling her $upporter$ something to the effect of "it's a sure thing".

I can see her cold sweat building from here.

A woman for future president, YES! Any Clinton as future president, NO! Begone and take your messed-up legacy with you.

She has yet to even prove she understands what the controversy is about. All of her words seem to imply she is apologizing to the Kennedy's for bringing this up. Not once has she apologized for the implication, however unintentional it was, that she is waiting around for something to happen to Sen. Obama.

No, Senator Clinton, you might not have said those specific words but they were implied. How stupid or ignorant do you think the people of the USA are at this time. No one brings up those comments at this time of our lives especially during this ELECTION!! In fact, you have stated them many times, not once, twice but 4 times. And now you are finally called ont he rug to explain yourself.

Anyone that has seen you speaking can tell when you are lying. When you lie, you do not look at anyone person, you look at the ground or close your eyes. Again, do you think that the american people are that ignorant.

I think not!!!!

Please someone explain to me how the Clinton camp have the nerve to complain about the Obama camp fanning the flames when they them selves are guilty of so much more fanning over less.

How they strung out "Bitter-gate" is the prime example.

Hillary is acting like the ultimate spoiled child.

I have a comment on the update, from Clinton' campaign compaining about Obama's campaign. First – the Clinton campaign has repeatedly fueled the flames of every gaffe of Obama's and have not hesitated to take his words out of context. Second – Obama's campaign has run on a higher road than Clinton's throughout. They haven't been perfect, but they have been better. Third – Obama's campaign commented on this latest Clinton gafffe but could hardly be said to attack her over it. In this case and several others, Obama has been very gracious to Clinton. I'm not overly offended by Clinton's RFK reference, but I continue to be offended by her campaign's attitude. I think it's been very clear who's acted more presidential during this primary season.

For all the intelligent and capable people the Clintons have running their campaign (yes, their– even those of us outside the U.S. can see what this is really all about), they sure give stupid advice.
It makes no sense for her to continue to make excuses for herself after what she said. It is inexcusable. Period. No lengthy explanations will fix this. It is time for Americans to smarten up and do what the rest of the world is waiting for. Obama '08

She's irrelevant. Next story…

And when is this going to include an apology to the Obama family you crazed power hungry loon?

The saying is "strong women fall hard." Somebody had better make sure they are ready to catch Hillary. She is leaning towards bi-polarism and needs to take a long vacation.

I have submitted several comments that are relevant to the posts and remain respectful of authors and other commenters. I am trying to figure out why they never get posted. I know the moderators are under no obligation, certainly, but I'm just trying to understand. It certainly can't be the volume of comments in this particular case… can you shed some light on this for me, please?

LOL you have GOT to be kidding me!!!!!!! She is claiming that she made a mistake and that her words are being taken out of context and that obama is making the situation worse? LOL I seem to remember Obama making a mistake and saying that some people were "bitter" and man she jumped on that like white on rice!!! I guess what's good for the goose isn't always what's good for the gander. Maybe Obama can claim she's being sexist against him. She should just REALLY sit in the timeout corner and be quiet now.

BREAKING NEWS BILL CLINTON ENDORSE OBAMA.

I think Hillary is like a child. If she can't get attention for be good, then she'll get it by being bad. Are we not now reading and hearing about this all Memorial weekend?

McAuliffe is smoking some good stuff. He blowing smoke up Hillary's Pant Suits.

IF anything happens to obama,then hillary clinton should be ready to explain in court,and these time nothing will go silent all of millions obama supporters will go on streets for the whole world to see the real america they never knew.
obama 08

Why Hillary continues to run? It's her ego and belief that she can steal the nomination.

Clinton dirty tricks. It gets old Hillary. Please put the country ahead of your own interests.

You are a disgrace!

You can't advance, you need to gracefully bow. Obama is stylin' on the opposition.

OBAMA '08

How many times this Primary season, has Clinton, her campaign, or her husband used the "unfortunate statement" defense. We can't afford to have a Commander in Chief who is constantly making "unfortunate statements".

Obama 08

"TO UNIFY THE PARTY????" – ah duh!

You hope you can buy, coerce or fabricate your way to the DNP Presidential nomination that clearly, is not fated to be yours.

Own it Hillary and at least give us all create for not being stupid.

Whatever!

How many times is she going to tell the same lie?

SHE IS NOT WINNING THE POPULAR VOTE!

STOP YOUR LIEING, HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

There is one question that I have not hear addresed about Obama. If he had such a meger upbringing how was he able to attend such a prestigious college and how did he become so wealthy at such a young age?

She meant every word she spoke /another of her Bosnia tales .

It is over Hillary. I have lost so much respect for you. You are a joke in the Democratic Party and a joke to your supporters.

Axelrod,

You're right. This isn't American Idol. If only you had said that five months ago, maybe most of the people who voted for Obama would have understood that they were voting for the Party's nominee for President of the United States rather than for a popularity contest.

And you're right about the party having rules. But you are trying to deceive the public when you say that the process ends on June 3 according to the Democratic Party’s rules. It continues until the convention in August. Decades ago, the Party gave about one quarter of the delegate votes to Party leaders (the so-called superdelegates).You're not fooling anyone with all your statements to end the process as early as possible, while your lightweight candidate is ahead IN ALL BUT THE POPULAR VOTE.

Btw, have you noticed that many superdelegates have not been willing to give your guy the nomination? Why might that be? Seems like they’re not too comfortable with Obama as the nominee. And with good reason! Apparently, there are some leaders in the Party who understand what’s at stake and that Obama might make some people feel good, but is not qualified and will not win.

Sincerely,
A lifelong Democrat who will not vote for any candidate with no experience as a national leader and with no experience at all in foreign policy.WAKE UP DEMOCRATIC PARTY (the Republicans are quietly laughing at us, hoping we will once again put forward a candidate they will beat in the general election).

Clinton left out the most compelling reason, "Because I am a megalomaniac. I am driven to success at the cost the Democratic Party, and the Nation."

Let's please get this over with and move on to November.
Obama 08

I can't believe Hillary continues to talk about her husband's 1992 campaign not being wrapped up until June. In April Bill had the nomination virtually in hand and Jerry Brown played the spoiler until June… Though Brown (like Hillary now) didn't have much of a chance he continued to fight until the very end; this wasn't good for the party then and it's not good for the party now! Ultimately Bill won the nomination w/ 3372 while Brown had 596 (not much of a nail biter but Hillary seems to have forgotten this). In fact, there was a bit of a controversy over whether Brown would talk at the convention in
1992 because it wasn't clear if he would endorse Clinton. Does Hillary want to play the role of spoiler in the same way Brown did? Did Hillary think Brown was doing the right thing by staying in the race, and did she think Brown's actions were good for the party in 1992? I don't think so — give me a break! In terms of the 1968 election, LBJ (the incumbent) dropped out of the race for health reasons on March 31, the NH primary wasn't until mid-March, there were only 13 primaries at that time, and the biggest primary, California, wasn't held until June 5th. Given all of this, of course the race was still on in June – duh. This isn't the case anymore so it seems ridiculous to compare the current situation with this, and I don't understand her premise anyway. Was this a good year in Hillary's opinion? Do we want a repeat of that year where one of the major candidates was killed and the republicans ultimately won the white house? Give me a break.

Only eight more days and -hopefully – this agony will be over.

who care what she said we know her mind now.

Dear Sen. Clinton,

I so desperately wanted you to become president. I signed up to work your camapaign. I donated money to the cause. That I'm now making this request goes against what I truly believed and fought for not too long ago.

My alliance, like yours, is to the Democratic party. I have made the decision to get behind the party and the party's candidate. I'm sorry you didn't get there. You are terrific. But please, we Democrats need you, your support, your abilities and we need them now. Make the deals you need as quickly as possible and then make the announcement and get behind party. We could be having so much fun right now against the GOP.

I really am sorry it wasn't you.

The Media is the single most pervasive element in this race trying to decide your vote. No need to go into who the Corporate Media favors, that is clear to any basically mentally competant voter. Don't go with the Media. Our system free press has turned into a filthy bias rag pushing for more centralized Corporate Power.

I think and I hope after June 3rd., she will be out of this presidential race

Come on people, lets just let Hillary's latest gaffe go. It was a very DUMB comment. Only she knows for sure what she meant. Lets not feed this. It gives crazy loonies ideas. I'm curious though, how did the Obama campaign inflame this??? He did not make the comment, Hillary did. To me, McAuliffe is looking more and more ridiculous as the days go on.

David Axelrod, along with the rest of the people in the Obama campaign is AWESOME!!!

Mrs. Clinton's statement was a bit poorly-worded, but frankly I don't see a real problem with it as it stands. I am an Obama supporter, and as I've read through her statement time an time again, I see no specific reference to Obama, nor do I see any veiled implications. It was just a stupid thing to say, and if you put it in context she was talking about something else all together.

That all being said, Mrs. Clinton's rationale that it's OK for the primary to drag on, because it has in the past, misses one important point. In the other elections, both candidates were still well-funded, were still neck-and-neck, and the trend to elect one or the other wasn't showing itself. In those historical situations neither candidate had the nomination completed by the numbers. In this election, by the time the Democratic convention rolls around, Obama will have the numbers. There will be no reason to consider Mrs. Clinton a viable candidate any longer.

Now it all depends on Montana, huh? What next? Whoever wins in Puerto Rico will be the President? Pathetic losers!
I had great admiration for B. Clinton for what he has done during his presidential years. But now, all I have is contempt. Power and greed have blinded the Clintons.
Isn't it evident to any person with common sense that all Clintons are doing is to divide the country and the party? Hillary wants the nomination, and if she doesn't get it, she wants to screw up all chances of Obama winning in Nov. And she will do anything to achieve that. Pity people don't realize this ploy of hers!

Wow. I am really trying to give the Clinton campaign the benefit of the doubt here. But all I hear is blame-deflect-blame-deflect. What about taking some personal responsibility? And what about being honest about who's calling for what? Obama has not called for her to get out of the race. He has encouraged her to continue through the last primaries so that the process is followed, if that's her choice. Some of his supporters are ready to see her go, but that's not Obama's fault!

Pitiful.
Those people really don't know how to quit!
Sadly, Hill and Bill have lost all the respect that I had left for them and they don't seem to understand why.
Billary, do us all a favor and just go away!

Did Hillary "mis speak" once again? She seems to have a difficult time being truly understood……or perhaps she is more understood than she would like to be. Yes, Hillary some people do reconize that you play by your own rules and will say and do anything to be President.

Looks like you're praying (maybe conspiring) for some miracle to happen including the extinction of your opponent so that you can climb the ladder which you believe only you are entitled to.

How can anyone justify her comments? It is sad day when candidate seems to insight recurrence of a devastating event in US history. I pray that no such event ever occur again. I will pray that God give her a change of heart. There is no room for evilness in a position of authority.

Funny. I seem to remember another campaign taking some "bitter" comments out of context and inflaming them in the media as well. Karma is a funny thing, isn't it?

Obama '08!

This election is not similar to those elections because you cannot win. California voted a long time ago and Obama has the majority of the pledged delegates and is very close to the "magic number" when you also count superdelegate endorsements. Clinton is far, far away from any magic number she might choose. Even if the rules were changed, it would be impossible for her to win at this point.

Stand down, Clintons. We are ready for a NEW Democratic America. You are old news.

First, Robert Kennedy Jr. continues to express support and faith in Hillary Clinton. He is reported as having said that he finds nothing at fault with her comments and trusts that she was speaking honestly about the length of the race and that there is no problem with it going into June or longer. That closes the issue as far as I am concerned, even if I didn't already think that the reaction to the statements about RFK was odious.

Second, it is obvious that the main stream media and her opponents want the only woman to get this close to the nomination out of the race. I don't know when another woman will come around who will be willing to take the abuse that is being thrown at her, instead of the objective analysis and comment that other candidates receive.

Third, Obama is quoted today as saying that Hillary Clinton is 'inflaming' voters in Michigan and Florida. It seems that if Hillary Clinton wasn't making her legitimate claim that these two states had a right to have their votes counted in some fashion at the convention, he would be able to fool the voters in both those states come November. As he looks down his nose at the intelligence of the people in Michigan and Florida it is his distance from their concerns that will inflame them, not Hillar Clinton's attempting to get them involved in the process.

The only thing that counts is the Electoral College Map and the winning of 270 votes. Hillary Clinton is by far the strongest candidate against McCain. Despite being out spent by Obama, out endorsed, and ignored by MSM – she is getting the vote of the people. The highest endorsement you can have in a democracy. The Super Delegates are SUPPOSE to vote for the candidate that can win – not the one chosen by the news media. Anyone that looks at any of the Electoral College Maps can see she is the one that can win in Nov. against the Republicans.

I think Hillary should stay as long as possible. I will vote only for Hillary.

after reading an article in Times about Michele -it seems that she is force behind him = he is her puppet, and actually Michele is running………why is she publicized so much?

The only thing that has been in Hillary's heart and prayers for quite a while now is: winning the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United State of America and nothing else.

As astute a politician as Hillary is, I am astonished about what she said last Friday. Subconsciously, she must be having deep rooted thoughts as to why she "must" continue to run.

Why isn't she more directly challeged every time that she says she has more of the popuar vote? She doesn't – she's wrong. So why doesn't the media more firmly dispute that? She can only make that claim by distorting the votes – not by just using a different method. First she gives Obama no votes at all for Michigan – not even 1 vote, not a portion of the uncommitted – she gives him 0. And then she doesn't count (disenfranchises) all of the voters in the caucus states. Sure it"s hard to figure out how to count the popular vote there. But that's why the popular vote isn't used to determine the nominee. The only real measure that counts is the number of delegates. So it's dishonest to switch to counting the popular vote, and then she dishonestly counts those. She should be challenged every time that she makes this claim and not allowed to present this dishonest spin. She knows better and we know better.

You continue to run coz the longer it gets, you solidify your base, they're getting broader and deeper and increasing in numbers while your opponent is on the decline. You're one tough lady Senator Clinton, you'd be a great President if the American people give you a chance to serve this great country called America. Its not every day we see a woman with fortitude and heaps of perseverance who swim against the tide guarded by men who feels a woman's place is at home, barefoot and pregnant. The world has change a lot, but this country is hesitant to change, that is electing a woman for President. Real change will only come into this country when the American people shows courage and elect a woman for President, it will tear down walls that have been there for many years that brings upheaval into this country of ours – discrimination. I'm a libertarian, but I wll not hesitate to cast my vote for you if your party choose you as their nominee for Presidential election. You become a SYMBOL of REAL CHANGE, you become an inspiration to young girls and boys, they too can be President if they persevere and do the right thing. All the odds are against you, as long as you don't kowtow to those asking you to quit, you will succeed. You are the TRUE DEMOCRAT, a party of FDR.

Robert Kennedy's son was not offended by the gaffe. So, everyone else needs to see the comment as it was– a simple reference to a timeline.

Just as everyone remembers it was November when JFK was killed, most people remember it was June when RFK was killed. They are just dates that stick in Americans' minds.

She shouldn't even have to apologize because it's clear that Hillary meant that other primary campaigns (like Bill's and RFK's) have extended into June. So, why can't hers?

All the flap about the comment is sheer nonsense.

. . . Hillary’s RFK comment was quite calculated indeed. But make no mistake that what you “wish” on others could very well be an omen
for yourself. I think it is preposterous for her to ever hope that the
majority of Americans would want her to lead them anywhere, let
alone as president. She owes the Kennedy’s an apology, that is if
she has any ounce of dignity left in her cold and calculating spirit.

I don't care why you want to run forever.
Go ahead, run forever.

Of course, the more outrageous comments made by you and Bill will give you more publicity for free. We understand that you now have to think creatively when you are deep in debt.

These are the risks that American soldiers have faced everyday for over five years now, and under President McCain, they will face them for at least four more years. That's an incredible sacrifice to be made because some Clinton supporters decided to oppose Obama on issues wholly irrelevant to actual policy. That being the case, I just have to ask:

If you refuse to vote for Obama, why are you asking others to sacrifice for your decision?

If you're going to help McCain get elected, you need to take responsibility for your actions. This election is bigger than you. It's bigger than Barack Obama. It's bigger than Hillary Clinton. Lives will be saved or lost depending on who is elected in November, and if you're going to willfully help prolong the war, it's time to do the honorable thing and enlist.

Don't worry, you'll still be able to get election results from Baghdad, and you'll still be able to "sit this one out" under the comfort of a mortar attack. And yes, I'm sure hearing about an Obama defeat will seem all the more sweet when you're laying in the choking aftermath of an IED explosion with a piece of half-melted plastic burning a hole into your intestines. I'm sure you'll be comforted by the knowledge that history had no place for President Obama when you're staring at the empty space where your leg used to be. And certainly, I'm sure the crippling terror of post-traumatic stress disorder will be nowhere as severe as the disingenuous "concern" you'll suffer over debunked Rezko conspiracy theories and the excited ramblings of a liberation theologian. Of course, those already serving will not get the same perverse comfort from their sacrifice, so there's no excuse for not taking on this burden yourself. If you truly believe that Obama should not be president, if you truly believe there is no greater pain than seeing a primary opponent win the general election, then this sacrifice can only be considered a modest price for your convictions.

Wow. did you folks ever miss the subject on that comment.

The subject was the Primary still going on in June, which is what she was talking about. The reference to Bobby Kennedy was simply a time line reference.

Anyone that read anything else into that comment has to have their own agenda or does not know history.

Hillary still thinks she can win because she is a sore loser….she will not accept defeat gracefully. She will pull all stops in order to try and get the nomination. She thinks that she deserves it and should be given the nomination, even though the math is against her. She wants the rules changed to benefit her… for example Florida and Michigan. She signed off earlier that she agreed not to campaign in either state because they moved their primaries up….now she changed her tune again only because she is losing. She doesn't care about those states, she only cares about one thing and one thing only…..Hillary Clinton.

It's just time to let it go. She is turning herself into a victim and being dishonest on so many levels. The next woman who runs will have so much of this negativity to overcome because of her. I think she needs to look at the big picture of the future and gracefully let this play out with her being positive and showing she can at least appear to be a team player. We have too much at stake for one woman to destroy an election that should be a gimme for our party.

Yes, Hillary dear, we all know why you continue to run. You have made it abundantly clear….no confusion here.

It will be a great day when HRC bows out of the race, hopefully with grace. It is time to unite behind Barack and win back the White House. Eight years has been too long with GW Bush. Let's turn the page.

These are the risks that American soldiers have faced everyday for over five years now, and under President McCain, they will face them for at least four more years.

Hi . I believe that is high time for H. Clinton to take a rest and let B.Obama fight this presidential without any further confusion . B. Obama has proved himself to be worthy of the American people and I believe too , that once and for all , let history takes its course . Thank You .

ALL HILLARY SUPPORTER GIVE IT UP.

Hillary can stand toe to toe with McCain as she said she can and that will be as McCain's VP
Hillary said she has
merits /what ?All we hear is racism.sexism, lies ,hate and Clinton Math always try to screw someone .
Leadership /She is leading us into a world of her Bosnia type lies,
Hillary is a Republican /her leadership is leading Bill out of the oval office after his nightly escapades.
Hillary went gone off the deep end and Carville was with her .
NO HILLARY VP FOR OBAMA

GET OUT HILLARY.

This holds true for bitter-gate, Wright-gate, Michelle-gate. Why did she call him "elitist" and questioned his judgment? Do we see hypocrisy?

Obama is violating the "rules". Scolding Super Delegates into voting on his elected delegate lead makes Axelrod's comment completely asinine. This isn't American Idol, so we won't be voting on emotional slogans and ethereal promises.

Axelrod,

You're right, this isn't American Idol. If you have only said that five months ago, maybe most of the people who voted for Obama would have understood that they were voting for the Party's nominee rather than for a popularity contest.

And you're right about the party having rules. The process doesn't end on June 3 according to the rules. It continues until the convention in August. Decades ago, the Party gave about one quarter of the delegate votes to Party leaders (the so-called superdelegates).

You're not fooling anyone when all your statements to end the process as early as possible, while your lightweight candidate is ahead IN ALL BUT THE POPULAR VOTE

Sincerely,
A lifelong Democrat who will not vote for any candidate with no experience as a national leader and with no experience at all in foreign policy.

WAKE UP DEMOCRATIC PARTY (the Republicans are quietly laughing at us, hoping we will once again put forward a candidate they will beat in the general election).

Please Clintons..for the good of the country…JUST GO AWAY.

YES, CONSTRUED BY THE OBAMA CAMP!

THIS IS HOW HE OPERATES!

NO CHARACTER JUST AN ATTACKER!

THAT WILL GO OVER WELL IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

HILLARY CONTINUES TO WIN AND THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT!!!!!!

PEOPLE WANT HER TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT BECAUSE SHE CAN HANDLE THE JOB!!!!!

I THINK SHE HAS PROVEN THIS!

IF SHE CAN STAND UP TO THE OBAMA CAMPS TRASHING , THE MEDIA BIAS AND STILL BE FIGHTING?
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT SHE CAN FIGHT AND WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!

HANG IN THERE HILLARY!!!!!!!

Her math disenfranchises caucus states. She's saying the only states that matter are the states that voted for her.

I am running incase someone kills my opponent………

I don't agree on some of jimmy carters views some times but this one is well said.

THERE'S NO COMMENTS BECAUSE NO ONE'S CARES ANYMORE

As a leader, Hilly should be cogniscent of the fact that she can't say and do anything without taking a moment to think what the nattion will think or do.

When I fisrt heard the statement on RFK, my first thought was that she is staying in the race with the hope that some cazy loon will blow Barack's brains to give her an unexpected nomination. As we all know there is no other way she can get the nod.

Please do not try to fool the voters. It is quite obvious that both Bill and Hillary do not care what happens to the Democratic Party and the 2008 nominee (Obama), they are both stirring up anger against the DNC and Obama. We should see it by now, as VOTERS, that this couple only cares about themselves and their ambition – not about their party, not about this country. They will say anything and will do anything to get what they want, no matter what it cost – even the demise of the DNC and Obama. They lied under oath before, they abused their power while in the white house (Lewinsky?) and now they will say anything to fool us, the voters, to trust them again. If they did not do things right when they were in the white house, if they lied under oath while he is serving as the President, what makes you think they will tell the truth this time? WAKE UP DEMOCRATS, stand up for what is right and tell Hilary to give it up while the DNC and Obama still have a fighting chance.

Take the high road and pave the way for future women. Leave the race with dignity by your own choice for the sake of the Democratic Party. Put a poorly run campaign, accusations of unfairness because your not winning, Bosnian sniper fire, Karl Rove tactics, racism, fear mongering, threat to nuke Iran, Bill and Mark Penn, the damage to the fabric of feminism behind you and get make your exit. You have lost this primary. The mistakes have been your own as it had been yours to lose. It may be a sore pill to swallow but your mistakes were the opening for a dynamic campaign and candidate that out maneuvered you at every pivot.

So much for a "graceful" exit. Lastly, she's rallying up the people of Florida/Michigan behind her, and even a law suit to the DNC, only AFTER the fact.

When desperation and ill-will come to play, just HOW can you have a "graceful" exit?

Republicans for Obama!

IT IS ALL ABOUT GETTING VOTES AT ANY COSTS:
1. sniper fire–to show she is brave as our service people.ugly
2. signed NAFTA but knew it was wrong when it was signed, but
making milliions personally???
3. voted to go to war but knew it was wrong.
4. the race card in WV was KKK all over again: clinton's want the
black people to vote for them but this shows it all.
5. playing the poor like woman to get the ladies vote.
6. now this sick sick sick statement using robert kennedy. when
others just slipped up saying something she would bring it up and
bring it up–this was not a mistake, it was a sick way to get the
public to support her.
7 plays the underdog—stated with a 68% advantage, the entire
democratic party behind her, and ex president promoting her.

NO, WE HAVE JUST ALL SEEN THE REAL BILLARY: FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS.

The only way to state that you really regret the comment is to give up and go home. I hope after June 3rd you will see the light.
No to VP for Clinton. We do not want them back…EVER!

I am disgusted with the media and others always giving Hillary Clinton the 'benefit of the doubt' that she has 'just misspoken'. I remember the shame Bill Clinton brought on our country during his last years in office. With all of Hillary Clinton's 'misspoken' comments throughout this primary, what could we expect with her as president (or, God forbid, Vice President) for the next four years? The Democratic Party would be wise to distance itself from these two Clintons.

Dear Hillary

Are you waiting somebody to remove Obama, Is that what you saying?
I am a woman and you just make us looks like opportunists. I don't think you are as a role model for my daughters. I will disowe my children if they ever behave like you.

Also don't tell me that because of Ted got sick you came up with this. You mentioned about Bobby even before Ted was diagnosed with tumor.

Anyway your arguments are against facts. Please check your maths or go for a crash course if some how you could steal the nomination.

Voters, please look at big states and swng states voting records for not only for democrats, but for republicans too.

Ohio- Obama got about 900,000, Total republicans got about 1,000,000. So only 10% of Hillary's voters need to support Obama to win Ohio. If only 35% of Hillary's supporters going to support Obama, he still can win.

Pennsylvania- No issue. Obama got more.

Florida is just like Ohio. Remember, he did not campaigned.

California, New jersy, New york- Obama can win all those.

Swing states and some republican states, go do the math.

In November even though we can expect more people to vote, still it will go to both parties (And Hillary's arguments are based on the primary, so let's take primary results).

CNN please post this

RISE HILLARY RISE

These people want you out so bad they can't stand it. Stay in and fight to the finish!! Our country needs you Rise Hillary Rise!!!

Why does a woman always have to justify herself?! Historically campaigns have run until a nominee has the requisite delegates (often up to the convention). The Democratic Party and Obama should be ashamed of themselves for trying to push aside the first woman candidiate (who currently leads the popular vote).
Shame on democrats for this double standard. I thought the Democratic Party was the party that favored women's rights and respected women – clearly this primary season has shown the sexism that still controls the Democratic establishment. The majority of voters have cast their ballots for Sen. Clinton yet the superdelegates are being blinded by the media and Obama's slick political spin machine.

I will write in Hillary's name in November if she is not the nominee.

She was wrong as sin to say what she said. She said it four times. To say that I regret if anyone found my comments offensive was nowhere near an apology. Give America a break. We do not forgive you for this, unless you own up to what you did, and give a proper apology. Until then you have no capacity to serve this country in any capacity what so ever. To think you would even be considered as VP is laughable!!!!

Obama 08 and whomever he chooses for VP!!!

Hillary,

You have an army of supporters who are with you!

We know you are a true and proven leader who will not let the ranting of Obama's fanatical haters get you down.

You're candidacy is too important!

This country needs you more than it does and the mindless ranting of political ignoramuses or the empty rhetoric of an effete neophyte who will not win the general election in the fall.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

Lies lies from tiny eyes.

There's no doubt in my mind that Hillary Clinton is more electable….. It's all about the Electoral College…. and the Demographics in Ohio, PA, and Florida have rejected Obama overwhelmingly (and these are Democratic voters!)

without Hillary's supporters in Ohio, PA, and Florida, Obama cannot beat McCain in Nov

her letter in the Daily News did not do any better than her initial "apology" at excusing her. It just showed her selfishness. She is going to go down in history very badly.

It's all about Hillary isn't it. Shame really. I was a big supporter, and then when became obvious Barack was going to win, I was feeling sick. And especially so, when I thought about Hillary dropping out, I was dreading the day for her.

Now I long for it. Get out PLEASE Hillary… why are you being so selfish. You were an excellent candidate, but someone more dynamic and inspiring came along. It's not a put down to you, but please now do the right thing (for once).

You could have run in 2004, but you didn't want to face an incumbent. (You probably would have won). You voted for the war, I believe for political reasons, you wanted to look tough.. now it bit you back.

You are causing divisions, and it appears you are trying to weaken the eventual candidate, are you contemplating a run in 2012?

Get out now… you've become an albatross..

Sad really.

How unfortunate. We heard about "bitter-gate" for months and now we have to overlook what Hillary said because she didn't mean it and her mind was on the Kennedys. What happened when she oh "misspoke" the same words in March.? Coming on people give me a break. Talk about your double standards.

Hill-Bill………………..give it up. America doesn't WANT you.

Is this the kind of President we want? One that can't say "I was wrong"? She made a tremendous mistake in saying what she did. I can accept that from people…we all make mistakes. But what I can't accept is her wanting to blame the "Press" for mis-understanding what she was saying…that this is nothing but a fabrication. It was a cold, heartless thing to say. People who deserve respect, do not give half-hearted appologies lessened with an explanation of "why" they did it. She has no Presidental qualities.

***MUST READ***
Hillary: Why I Lie
MUST WIN; Must Win; must win…..

Its the media that has blown this out of proportion. Anyone that has an IQ of 30 knew what history she was talking about referring to RK running for the nomination. I think these media night shows and commentators on Friday when they salivated to carry this story are all straight jacket material.

RISE HILLARY RISE!!

FIGHT HILLARY FIGHT!!

DON'T EVER GIVE UP WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT!!

HILLARY CLINTON, THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!

YES SHE CAN AND YES SHE WILL!!

YOU GO GIRL !!!!!!!………………………..

The Repulican party must be thanking Hilary Clinton for campainning for them; Yes she's been stirring anger among democrat voters; she's been ruining the credibility of the democratic party with her remarks on the nomination process (by which her husband was elected president of the United States of America).

My point is, the republicans are gonna play this card on November, and they will be right

keep diving the party , you will handle us the goverment..thank you we k now we can count on your dirty work..

McBush.08 thanks to billary…………..

Hillary Clinton – the audacity of arrogance. How on earth are we to trust anything this woman says in future. She is truly a disgrace and has reinforced the perception that she will say anything and do anything to get elected. Even if she somehow became the Democrat nominee, there is no way she is electable as President of our great country.

It's a shame that you felt you had to explain an innocent comment about primary timelines. The Obama campaign took the comment out of context, twisted its words and created a mood of hysteria (again). Obama is stifling free speech in our country. Shame on Obama and his hyper-sensitive campaign.

Hillary you are our best candidiate and I will support you in November!

OH YES WE KNOW WHY YOU CONTINUE TO RUN.

WE DON'T EVEN WISH THAT FOR YOU.

I think it is sad that a woman who began her campaign with the status as a wife of arguably the most influential man in contemporary American politics, with access to political and financial power, name recognition, and the support of 99.9% of the Democratic coalition (women–white and African American, unions, and superdelegates) would so badly manage a campaign, so alienate key constituencies, and ravage the party, that she is reduced to making irresponsible, divisive, and highly inappropriate comments. It is clearly time to stop!

Hillary, for those of us who KNOW you, no explanation is needed; for those Obamanations who DO NOT KNOW YOU, no amount of explanation will ever suffice…

I am so frustrated with the media attacks on Clinton–the latest uproar re: comment about RFK's death is just one more, and a tempest in a tea pot, confirming that the media is attempting to push Obama into the candidate slot.
I have not decided for whom to vote in Nov., but the pushing Obama down my throat is NOT a good way to get my vote. May just go ahead and vote for McCain, at least the media opinions are less involved with his abilities, which are actually PROVEN!

It's very clear that there is a double standard at work this primary season. In the media, Senator Clinton can do no right and Obama can do no wrong. She is being pushed out of the primary process despite that fact that historically primaries continue until someone has secured the nomination. Why should a woman not be able to continue running for office when men have been supported in doing the same thing historically up to the convention?! The Democratic establishment has been so sexist and it's an utter disgrace. The media has also been blatantly sexist and has played favorites with Obama from the start. Obama himself has made sexist remarks and has demonstrated a sexist attitude. I am ashamed of the Democratic Party this year.

I will write Hillary's name in on my ballot in November. She has the popular vote and should be our nominee (even though she is a woman).

This could very well be a threat to Obama if you connect The Clinton's past and their involvements in people that stood up against The Clinton's or threatened thier positions in any kind of way. I wouldn't trust those dogs for nothing in the world.

NO Hillary…..

You have no leadership capabilities. The largest organization that either you or Obama have ever led are your campaigns and your leadership is horrible.

While Obama's campaign is thriving….yours is over 20 million dollars in debt. Key personal have quit or been fired. You had very poor planning. The theme of your campaign has changed constantly when your message did not work…etc…etc..

Obama is ahead in DELEGATES…STATES…POPULAR VOTES….MOMENTUM….ELECTABILITY……AND MOST IMPORTANT….

The American people want an honest President and that is Obama!

OBAMA '08!

Boo-hoo..PLEASE, Lady..give it a rest. She must think that she's owed the presidency because of Bill's 2 terms. She's going to have some serious personal issues when this is all done…not that she isnt having some now.

Obama 08′/12′

I think that Hillary should finish the race. Its a shame that she has turned this into a "women's best hope for a president" type of race because it has put so much pressure on her and her supporters. I have no doubt there will be a woman president but, Hillary wasn't the right choice.

IT IS TYPICAL OF YOUR OPPONENTS TO TWIST EVERYTHING YOU SAY. YOU WILL MAKE A WONDERFUL PRESIDENT AND MY FRIENDS AND I ARE PRAYING YOU WILL EVENTUALLY WIN THE NOMINATION. YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE TO WIN. YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB. WE LOVE YOU HILLARY GO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lack of realism is far her best reason..

…Our campaign is winning the popular vote — and we've been winning the swing states we need …" But only if she ignores and DISENFRANCHISE the voters from caucus states ..

She will say and do anything to win..

Its a sorry day when you can not refer to a historic event. The media laid on you for the Jessie Jackson remark and now the RK comment . Each designed to cripple your campaign. I am a long time Democrat and a liberal one at that, but no super left wing elitest nut, and I will not vote for Obama in the fall if he is the nominee.

Continue to fight Hillary, don't ever give up!! Senator Obama is still just an "empty suit". Our daughters and sons are watching you. Continue to teach them how to fight for what they believe in and that nothing is worth having if you are not willing to FIGHT for it. God Bless you and keep you safe and strong. We love you and are very proud of you. Stay focused on the issues and continue to challenge the wrongs in this campaign and in our wonderful United States of America.

BE BLESSED AND KNOW THAT WE CONTINUE TO LOVE AND RESPECT YOU AND FORMER PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON.

Hillary has made so many comments during this campaign, that she has taken back, after they had the effect that she wanted. Hillary, please do us all a favor and go back to New York and terrorize the people in the state and leave the rest of us alone.

LOOK HILLARY

you made the same statement to the time magazine in march. and at that time ted kennedy was not sick. you know the longer hillary in out there the more chance for some nut to try to dispose of obama. it it look as if she was quietly hinting the issue.
time to go hillary

You keep fighting Hillary! There are millions off us fighting with you. You are our only chance of getting to the White House this term. We NEED you to prevail. PLEASE, for the sake of the poor, the sick, the disabled, the veterans…PLEASE keep fighting! We will follow you all the way to the convention floor and beyond!

Always more lies and always everyone elses fault. Don't you think it is time for you to take responsibility for your words/actions?

Rules are rules. When do the Clinton supporters realize this? I don't get it!!! Anyone else, any Clinton bloggers out there that can tell me how or why the rules should change now?

What she also doesn't mention is now Obama is ahead in McCain in four swing states. She seems to want to argue that because she won California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc…Obama won't be able to win those states in November, which is a completely false argument at best.

She said Kennedy was on her mind when she made her "misspeak" on Friday. Was he also on her mind 2 months ago when she made similar remarks in Time Magazine?

This RFK thing is hanging on like the Grim Reaper. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, Hillary.

Millions of us are rooting for you, Hillary! Thank you for your dedication to America and all its people!!

Keith Olbermann was very harsh with her but he brought up all her lies,her attempts to change the rules and the ridiculous statement of her saying she is more electable. I think Keith was right on the money with his comments. Hillary if you are more electable then why are you so behind, I wish someone would answer that question.

She has learned on thing from the Bush Administration, never clean up your mess and keep repeating your right all the time. The best part of this long campaign season is we really got to know the two candidates and the one getting the nomination has proven himself an admirable person and Sen. Clinton being so desperate has shown very little personal substance in just a short time in the national spotlight. She will be lucky to hold her senate seat after this. Sad how she has gone into the shadows of herself to try and convince so many she is up for the job.

Hillary will win!

She is for all the people.

She is experienced.

She is a fighter.

She is for our country!!

Hillary 08

WHY I CONTINUE TO RUN

I am an egotistical, untrustworthy, power-hungry meglomaniac. I continue to run because I am entitled to the presidency. I continue to run because I do not care about what is best for the country; I only care about what is good for me. I continue to run becasue I am the best and I am ready on day one to the run the country into the ground the same way I ran my campaign. I continue to run because there are a lot of people who will take the blame when I screw up…I am not accountable to anyone. And most importantly, I continue to run because I still have several pantsuits that I have not worn yet.

Hillary is a highly intelligent woman. Despite what alot of people think, she is no fool. She has the choice of staying in this race, and so she should !

America: count your blessings that we have Hillary. Vote for her. Who else is there really to vote for? Wakey, wakey.

Hillary 2008 & 2012

Time to support the people's choice Hillary. You say you care about the people, etc., etc., etc., well then support their candidate and let's move on.

"This isn't American Idol" … I love it!!!!!

Let's move on. At this point, it doesnt matter why you said what you said, you said it and it was in BAD taste not only for the Kennedy legacy but also for Obama. You apologize IF you offended anyone? Well Senator Clinton you offended many of us. You lost many votes behind that comment and desperate attempt to win at ALL cost.

Hillary…keep going. Don't give them a thing. If they're going to do it, make them earn it.

Independent in the fall sounds good. Maybe with Lieberman as VP.

Obama is a bad joke, supported by a lot of dreamers that ought to know better.

She continues to run because she's stubborn and has lost touch with reality. She references California a couple of times in her argument for staying in through June. This might make sense if California held it's primary in June, as it has in the past, when she had a chance to pick up a large number of delegates but California moved it's primary up and there is no longer a large number of delegates left to gain. She can only hope to win this race if something unfortunate happens to Obama, as she has hinted could happen, or the superdelegates override the results of the election. I'll wait to see what happens once the primaries are over but I'm betting that she'll find an excuse to "keep fighting" resulting in a lost election for the Democrats. I'm sure the Republicans will be grateful.

Just go away.

"But I was deeply dismayed and disturbed that my comment would be construed in a way that flies in the face of everything I stand for…"

Considering Clinton has done innumerable things that fly in the face of what she supposedly "stands for" in this campaign, it's no surprise this comment would be construed this way (even ignoring the fact that it's the most obvious interpretation of what she said).

You give the DNC and Obama so much crap for disenfranchising voters in Florida and Michigan. So how can you, in good conscience, claim they counted and claim the popular vote… math that only works if you disenfranchise caucus states? All twelve of them or however many?

Ohhh, I get it. It's okay if votes don't count as long as they're for YOU, Mrs Clinton. I see.

The time line doesn't make sense. Both of the primaries she was talking about started much later in the year.

That being said, this race is growing ugly. Despite it all, Democrats have to come together, or we risk 4 more years of bloodshed in Iraq. I challenge anyone who says different (those who say they would vote for McCain if their candidate doesn't win) to say that to the face of a soldier or the family of those soldiers.

Can anyone really be that selfish?

clinton has no business running for president.
she obviously doesn't know how to think before speaking.

I hope she loses her position as the Senator from New York.

When someone contests her seat, you can count on my donation.

The TRUTH… You are trying to DESTROY the Democratic Party for rejecting YOU…… The foolish superdelegates (keeping quite )are letting YOU do it.
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

Please end this nonsense! SUPERDELEGATES come out and end this nonsense!

She may have Van Gogh's ear for sound bites, but I doubt she meant anything other than what she said.

Let it go.

Now…on to an Obama presidency.

I can't believe she didn't apologize. Cold hearted. Why would anyone blame Obama for her remarks?

Go Hillary, good for Hillary. Don't every give up, keep fighting the good fight. We support you and are with you all the way.

You have every right to stay in the race through June 3rd, but, you must bow out gracefully.
We hated Bush for stealing the election from Gore.
The same thing will happen if you steal this election from Obama.
