Clinton’s campaign is hoping to score a significant popular vote win in Puerto Rico.

PONCE, Puerto Rico (CNN) – Hillary Clinton held the most raucous rally of her Puerto Rico campaign swing on Monday in front of several hundred members of the Servidores Públicos Unidos union, who shimmied to live music before the event and cheered on the senator with chants of “Si se puede!”

The union operates as an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which has endorsed Clinton and spent millions on her campaign’s behalf. AFSCME President Gerald McEntee was on hand in Ponce to introduce Clinton, but he spent a good chunk of his speech eliciting boos for Barack Obama.

“Obama was here twice,” McEntee said, painting the Illinois senator as a Johnny-come-lately to the issues affecting Puerto Ricans. “Once to raise money. He was here for two hours, and he left, and he went on vacation. Then he came back this past weekend for two days, then he left again.”

An energetic Clinton, assisted by a translator, delivered a speech similar to others she has made on the island, pledging to offer economic incentives to the island, promising to resolve the issue of Puerto Rico’s status by the end of her first term, and reminding voters that she represents an estimated one million Puerto Ricans in New York.

In the middle of her remarks, as the audience chanted “Si se puede!” — a phrase that's been co-opted by Obama supporters — Clinton injected some Spanish of her own.

“Not only ‘Si se puede!’ Si podemos! We will! We will!,” she shouted, although there was some debate among reporters whether she stumbled over the word “podemos.”

Clinton appeared on the stage with her daughter Chelsea, who did not speak, and Bill Clinton, who campaigned with her throughout the day. The former president said his wife has long been dedicated to Puerto Rican issues.

“She understand you better, she cares more, and she has the best commitment for the future of the people of Puerto Rico,” he said. “Nothing would symbolize her commitment more than this victory” on June 1. The Clinton campaign is hoping for a healthy margin of victory here to bolster their argument that they are winning the popular vote.

I "love" how everyone say: "Oh! I hope Puertorricans are smart" "Oh, I hope Puertorricans are intelligent" Who do you prepotent Americans think you are?!?!?! The last time I checked the concensus outside your shores was that Americans are stupid, ignorants and geocentric. And YES I said GEOCENTRIC.

Stop thinking you are the center of the world. Learn about your "rich" history. Puertorricans do not have any expectations from any of the presidential candidates. Everything will stay the same. The world has lost faith in the US and so have Puertorricans. If Americans are "supposed" to be the saviors of the world. What the hell happened?!?!?!?

Tony   May 27th, 2008 8:52 am ET

I, and many I know, have been doing that since day one. No news to us! Wish these ignorant, apathetic Americans would have caught on earlier.

YAWN!

fred   May 27th, 2008 8:52 am ET

We have a grip Connie…it is Hillary!!

Take it all the way to the convention Hillary!!

We will NOT UNITE behind Obama!!

Hillary or McCain…it is your call DNC!!

christopher   May 27th, 2008 8:52 am ET

Love to love Clintons, are you serious. You love scandals, liars, cheaters. How can you supporter a woman who has so many feminists supporting her. Why again did she stick with bill after he is getting. h…..d in the White House ? Why, because she THOUGHT the she would be a shoe-in to the white house. Votes are counted and the last time I look Obama was leading. DNC along with Billary understook FlA and Michigan would not count.

Again, what is an election ? When all parties are on the ballot. Was Obama on the ballot in Michigan, read my lips NO NO NO. Get over the stupid 3rd grade argument all of you. I cannot wait till June 4 to hear all the whining again and again and again. Obama stole it, no as a man he didn't go NEGATIVE and stood strong again someone who is a panderer.

nate   May 27th, 2008 8:51 am ET

Why is it news that a Clinton crowd boos Obama?

franco   May 27th, 2008 8:50 am ET

The Puerto Rican people have Obama figuered out correctly, and they are in the right to "boo" him. Obama supporters are the hipocrites when it's OK to "Boo" other candidates, you know who you are. Hillary
Clinton is the best PRESIDENTIAL candidate in the last 50 years. She
has the experience and courage to fight the "good ole boys". Anyone
that says she can not be accepted as an honorable person, should
study her history and achievements. She was making achievements
while Obama was hanging out with Jeremiah Wright. Obama is the
biggist "Judas" of them all, along with his supporters. How stupid are
American voters.

jake   May 27th, 2008 8:50 am ET

OK FACT: They do get to vote in the General Election, who said they didn't?? Obama supporters of course, and they are SUPPOSE to be so educated. I know that the Obma team made that statement in the very beginning so that everyone would vote for him, thinking that they were smart. HA HA jokes on you, he pulled another fast one on you. You are also the most vicious people I've ever come across. If the likes of you support him, then MAN , I'M GETTING OUT OF THIS PARTY.

Brian   May 27th, 2008 8:50 am ET

She should have dumped Bill when she had the chance.

Does Purto rico have a baseball team that she has been a life time fan of??

marina   May 27th, 2008 8:50 am ET

My comments have been awaiting moderation for 10 hours!! and all this because I dared to say that the media and DNC have made a circus out of these primaries!!!! It's fine with me–I've learned something more today…….

Kelly   May 27th, 2008 8:49 am ET

Go Hillary!

No Hillary on the ballot = a vote for McCain from Me!

Hillary '08

Judi in the heartland   May 27th, 2008 8:48 am ET

I truly believe that Hillary suporters can't see the forest for the trees. Anyone as deperate as the Clintons,doing the things and saying the things that they are just to get Hillary elected and the two of them back in the Whitehouse. What do you think they would do and say to stay there? Fellow Democrats, WAKE UP!!!!

Wise White Guy   May 27th, 2008 8:48 am ET

And what is the point of you rallying anything when all it means is further dividing of the party when you have already lost? You and your Husband make me sick!

Michael, an independent Canadian   May 27th, 2008 8:48 am ET

All she is doing is dividing the Democrats into a highly polarized party which will not be able to heal itself to win the election. Her winner-take-all approach is going to cost the Democrats and the US an opportunity for real change.

Peter   May 27th, 2008 8:47 am ET

who cares about PR

Peter in PA   May 27th, 2008 8:46 am ET

To the people of Puerto Rico,

If you boo when hearing President Obama's name, he will not allow you to vote in presidential elections. So be good!

Rick, PA   May 27th, 2008 8:45 am ET

Well, as Puerto Rico goes, so goes the Nation!! Ha Ha.

Evelyn Jewell   May 27th, 2008 8:45 am ET

You folks in Puerto Rico, know who is the best qualified candidate to help you, when Hillary, is our next U.S. President.

So vote for Hillary, on June 01, it's very important.

Hillary hasn't got a fair deal from the U.S. TV news media, since the inception of the campaign. However many folks, who have listened to Hillary throughout the campaign, debates etc., know she's the most qualified candidate.

Hillary's winning of the BIG STATES, with high electoral votes, needed to win in November, prove they voted, for the correct nominee.

Hillary's voters will not support Obama, if he's selected as the Democratic nominee.

Obama's endorsees do not make him more qualified than Hillary.

Mc Cain will be our next President, if Obama is the nominee.

Carla   May 27th, 2008 8:44 am ET

Boy, do I thank God that I am not an American. So many of you are so desperate for "change" ( and I don't blame you, good riddance to Bush); that you fall for the totally useless and empty promise of change by Obama!! He has said absolutely nothing in any of his speaches, promises change without saying how!!!
Even before "Super Tuesday", I told people that Obama would win the nomination, not for anything that he does or says but because Americans are not ready to vote for a woman, no matter how much more experience or sound policy she presents. Obama may some day be ready to be president, but not yet. I at least hope that if the contest is between Obama and McCain, you will spare the world another round of republican garbage!

TEXAS   May 27th, 2008 8:44 am ET

If Hillary moves back into the White House she better start talking with Cuba. She will need to get more cigars!!

Mel   May 27th, 2008 8:43 am ET

What this proves, once again, is that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton fosters a divisive politics, she and her supporters take the low road every time they can. "Yes, they will." This is a failed leader because if you forget that the aim is to strengthen the party and to defeat Senator John McCain then you should not be running as a Democrat; she should join the other narcissist Bob Barr as his running mate. Senator Clinton has been very disappointing, despite her smarts and good policywonk skills. Poorly run campaign, negative attacks, poor judgement, whining about fragile women when she loses and then wearing gloves, shooting guns, drinking whiskey and saying "If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen" when she loses. From week to week we do not know which Senator Clinton we will get. She should exit gracefully… somehow I doubt it, though.

Cynthia   May 27th, 2008 8:42 am ET

Senator Clinton has been expected to win in PR for some time, but does she have the numbers in the end when all the contests have been completed?

Cathy in MD   May 27th, 2008 8:41 am ET

Another case of Hillary Clinton deluding a vulnerable group of voters to believe that only she understands them, only she can save them, and that the other guy is not to be trusted. And, another example of how she has no intention of uniting the Party (she would have bowed out by now to support the obvious nominee), and wants only to advance her own self-interests (to get back the old house because she thinks she entitled to it).

R1100RT in VA   May 27th, 2008 8:41 am ET

Puerto Rico is a beautiful place with beautiful people.

They DON'T want to be an independent nation.

They want all the privileges and benefits of the USA but they DON'T want to become a state.

They DON'T PAY USA federal taxes.

They CAN'T vote in the USA presidential election.

Why should anybody CARE who Puerto Ricans want for US president???

Lisa   May 27th, 2008 8:39 am ET

Dear all.
Please support the candidate whom you think will do best among those running. Name calling and foul language will not accpmpolish anything positive. It is setting a very bad bad example to all the youngsters who are yet to come of voting age.

LB   May 27th, 2008 8:39 am ET

I wonder if the people of Puerto Rico know that it was during Bill Clinton's presidency that the banking deregulation took place that has given us our current mortgage and crediit crisis? I wonder if they understand that part of the reason our country is in the condition it is in is because of NAFT, GATT, and the WTO. I fought against those policies personally handing out fliers to people on the street precisely because of what it would do to american jbbs and the american worker… I was never against tade but I knew these policies were too imbalanced.
I wish that Senator Obama was willing to talk more about those things.

AnnaLee   May 27th, 2008 8:39 am ET

keep Going Hillary. We need a President like you. You are not a quitter. You are strong and will be a great leader. We love you. Obama has not yet said what is he going to change? We really worried about this. Love you!

Mike   May 27th, 2008 8:37 am ET

If you let a snake roam. It will bit you. Please get this woman off the stage. She's only hurting Obama!!!!!!

Mirta Rodriguez   May 27th, 2008 8:35 am ET

Puerto Ricans are not ignorant, they will vote for the right candidate and that is Hillary Clinton!

COME ON PUERTO RICO, VOTEN POR HILLARY CLINTON!

Carlos   May 27th, 2008 8:35 am ET

To people saying "Clinton or McCain" (or "Obama or McCain":
Clinton and Obama's policies are so close that to say you'd vote for McCain over a Democratic nominee, even if it's not "your" first choice is ignorant.

Kevin, NC   May 27th, 2008 8:35 am ET

Phuck Hillary and Her uneducated racists supporters

Mirta Rodriguez   May 27th, 2008 8:34 am ET

Puerto Ricans are not stupid, therefore, they will vote for the right candidate and that is Hillary Clinton.

Come on Puerto Rico, voten por Hillary!

E75, Orlando, FL   May 27th, 2008 8:32 am ET

I can't understand why there is such venom from some of the posts here regarding John McCain. A Bush clone? Please tell me how? I think McCain has substantial differences rom President Bush, in personality and in policy. Furthermore, McCain has done more than virtually ANY other U.S. Senator to cross the aisle and work with the opposing party. Obama likes to talk about how he has as well, but his record just does not support his exaggerated claims.

We as a nation have a choice — a junior senator with virtually NO experience, bringing NOTHING of substantive value during his term so far — but he just so happens to be a good communicator, and a "likable guy." High on rhetoric — "Change, CHANGE, CHANGE"…I for one am not ready to hand over the keys to the castle to someone who's tenure in politics is slightly longer than mine (and I am NOT a politician), sorry folks. You can be all hopped up on idealism, but he is unqualified, and will ultimately be a huge detriment and dissappointment to this country if he wins.

Then you have Senator Clinton — a member of one of the most well-oiled political machines we've ever seen in this country. But I think that's the problem. I think she's just a power-hungry, career politician. I think she will do and say anything to get elected, and I am sorry, but we need to put an end to this CLINTON dynasty scheme right now.

Senator John McCain — who is the most liberal Republican Presidential candidate we've ever seen. I wish he were more conservative. But, I believe he has the courage to do what is right for this country — the background and know how to best use our armed servicemen and women. And the honesty and integrity lacking from both Democratic candidates. So you can disagree with McCain's positions, fine. But to call him a Bush clone and imply he would be a disaster for this country simply reveals how much of a kool aid drinker some liberal democrats have become, and it's quite sad, really.

victor   May 27th, 2008 8:31 am ET

Incredible how mean spirited people can be. More then half the blogs here have nothing to do with politics, which leads me to believe most people don't understand any of the issues and even less about just how bad a shape the countries in.

And...?   May 27th, 2008 8:30 am ET

She gets booed by her own crowds!!!!!

Dave   May 27th, 2008 8:29 am ET

Hillary stop already, Broomstick One refuses to see she is dragging down the Democratic party. The woman is running on the coat tails of her husband, learn to manage a home and marriage before you bore Americans with your random drivel. It's time for broomstick one to realize she has lost and start supporting the candidates the party appears to want. LET IT GO (Bill)!!

Jose'   May 27th, 2008 8:26 am ET

If you hate poor, hard working people, vote for Obama!!

Obama for the Rich!! '08

rachel   May 27th, 2008 8:26 am ET

POST this CNN. Obama people complain so much. The DNC nor Obama have tried to talk to Hillary they have been too busy since Iowa telling her to get out. They just want their golden boy. Dont blame Hillary because her supporters want their votes counted. Obama knows no shame and just because Hillary is a woman people think she should just tell them to forget about and its okay and vote for obama because he's a democrat forget it. And since Obama claims that he wants the votes counted too why is hillary getting all the blame for peole wanting the votes counted. Rev Al claims that their will be riots in the streets if Obama is denied the nomination. Looks like the only way to get anything done is to hold protests and scream loud so more power to the Hillary supporters, and what do the Obama supporters care right they don't need those votes anyway right?

MizuInOz   May 27th, 2008 8:25 am ET

Secret Letter to Ms. Clinton… you have proven yourself to be a true Republican. You have worked hard for the neocon agenda. The Rome 200 are proud of you. You have invoked every psychological message we have asked you to use upon the frustrated women of America and you have stirred up racial hatred to its greatest fervour since the days of Selma and Montgomery by once again dividing the uneducated and supposed disenfranchised. You have done a great job. We told you that if you signed agreements not to campaign in Florida and Michigan and do so anyway – you would receive votes that you could use later, if this Obama boy was to actually get any where. You can now use that case of disenfranchisement as a way to claim the nomination of the Democratic Party. the precedent has been set by our other lackey George W. when he used the Supreme court to steal the Presidency – as we told him to do. You all are following our orders implicitly. Well done.

Yo, Bill – there's your cover up! And you know it!
And I know this won't get published because CNN is in on it, too.

NLC   May 27th, 2008 8:25 am ET

Liz   May 27th, 2008 8:24 am ET

Hillary is our only hope to help economy. Obama does not know what he's doing. She will beat McCain

Vic   May 27th, 2008 8:23 am ET

Headline said Obama wa booed in Puerto Rico but I saw no mention of that in the actual story. Why post a headline like that?

Steve (Independent)   May 27th, 2008 8:23 am ET

Let it play out, the numbers don't support Sen. Clinton's bid for the nomination.

Kista   May 27th, 2008 8:21 am ET

Go Hillary! You're the only candidate who can handle the job. If Iowa and other early voting states were voting now (after the Rev. Wright issue, after obama's elitist /arrogant attitude, and after other obama negatives were revealed), our country would be in a much better position. It's a good thing the primary is taking so long, obama's real self can't be covered up forever. If Hillary Clinton does not get the democratic nomination I will switch my voter registration from Democrat to Independent. I will NOT vote for obama.

Shirley, Silicon Valley, CA   May 27th, 2008 8:19 am ET

The Clintons have only themselves to be blamed for the failure in their pursue of more Power!

After the last 16 years of the Clintons, we have had enough to the divisiveness of the Clintons. It's the Clinton fatigue, their own blind ambition and their dirty politic destroy them.

Just go away. Enough is enough!

SC Gal   May 27th, 2008 8:18 am ET

Wake up Democrats!

We need to support Hillary Clinton.
Senator Obama is a dream only for the Republican Party.
They want him to be the nominee.
They know that he has no experience, can't close the deal and the states that will take him to the white house are not in his favor.

He is having trouble with so many groups of voters and the Republicans know it.
White Men
Catholics,
Women,
Latinos
Older voters,
Jewish voters,
Swing State Voters
Lunch bucket voters

Florida voters and Michigan voters know that he is not fighting for them so he will lose these states also.

If Obama becomes the nominee we WILL have another four years of
Republicans. Caucus states and many other states have republicans voting for Obama to make sure he is in the race.

The Democratic party and the superdelegates have a decision to make. Are they going to select a Democrat to fight for the American people or are the Republicans going to select the Democratic nominee through vote fraud tactics in caucuses and in primaries where Republicans could vote against their own party. This vote fraud and Bush republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.

As much as 30 percent of Obama’s primary and caucus votes are Republicans trying to select the weakest Democratic candidate for McCain to run against. Repuclicans have been gaming the caucuses and open primaries where it’s easier to cheat.

That’s why Obama hasn’t been able to win the “big” state primaries. Even with all the Republican cheating Obama is having it tough. Except for North Carolina where 35 percent is African American and 90 percent of that bloc voted for him. African Americans are only 17 percent of the general population.

Obama has no experience, no foreign affair knowledge, problems with his church's philosopy and ties with radical friends such as William Ayers the Domestic terrorist and Louis Farrakhan the Nation of Islam Leader that is his church's idol.

This is not American Idol. We, as Democrats, need to think who can beat McCain.

African Americans and the poor will be the ones that have the most to loose if McCain gets into the White House.

Clinton is the stronger candidate for the Presidency. She wins the states that will make a Democrat president of the United States.
She has 35 years experience. She has been outspent 2 to 3 times by Obama and he is still not closing the deal on the states Democrats need in the general election.

I am asking that all Democrats think about who can win against McCain. It's not Obama.

Trust me. President Clinton and Senator Clinton try to tell voters, but instead of listening to their truths, the Obama supporters are making a joke about her trying to stay in.

Obama doesn't have a clue what's going on. The Clintons do.

I have seen many elections. Get over Obama and hope he learns from this experience. Support Hillary or the Republicans will win this election. Check the electoral map and McCain has this election in his pocket. Hands down.

percyone   May 27th, 2008 8:18 am ET

Yes Hillary – it is very reasonable for you to ask the Democratic Party to change the rules with 8 seconds left in the 4th quarter.

You want to nominate the candidate with the most popular vote instead of the most delegates (BTW – you did not even get the most popular vote – you think you did because you are using Clintononian math).

You want to count the primaries in Florida and Michigan even though everyone (including YOU) agreed at the beginning of this campaign that those states violated the party rules and would not be counted.

Anything else we should change – how about REAL CHANGE – that is, how about OBAMA 2008 !!!!

NOW DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THIS SETS AN EXAMPLE OF A CANDIDATE THAT THIS COUNTRY CAN TRUST?? OR IS IT AN EXAMPLE OF SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY SELF-SERVING – THAT IS – WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME – AND JUST FOR ME – THE HECK WITH WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE PARTY OR THE COUNTRY??

fred   May 27th, 2008 8:16 am ET

Listen guys, Clinton can do what she wants. This is the democratic process. If you're more interested in a political party having victories, then you would probably want Hillary to drop out. But if you are for the American people having democracy and freedom of speech, then you should let her stay in, because she offers people a choice.

If you're more worried about the democratic party than you are about the American people, then that's sad.

Also, I wanted to comment quickly on the Obama lacking Iraq experience statement by McCain. I know a lot of you posted about how he doesn't need experience, or that his advisers would be able to tell them what he needs to know, or that it shouldn't matter because he opposes the war now.

Let me say something about that. It does matter. If Obama hasn't been on the ground in Iraq since 2006, then he has no idea what has happened there in 2 years, other than by what the media is saying. If Obama is going to be making statements about the conditions in Iraq, or how many people are dying, or about withdrawal, then he should actually go to Iraq to see what progress is being made, what the different troops are actually doing now, etc.

See, the thing is, that we don't just have 100 some thousand troops on the ground who are sitting around waiting to come home. They are engaging in operations, of hunting down Al quaeda, and of helping people over there. Obama needs to see what those people would be quitting if they were to be pulled out at any given time. Would there be a bridge half built? A city half secure? A terrorist that is being tracked down that is close to being caught? You can't just listen to what the media is saying, because the media only reports about when people are killed in Iraq. There is more going on there than that, but Obama won't see that unless he gets over there and talks with the generals, and actually sees what is going on.

D C Silva   May 27th, 2008 8:16 am ET

Obama snuffed the press on his 1st visit to PR (not even talked to it). Then when he realized the strategic need he started brown nosing it.
Obama, No Gana!

MD Democrat   May 27th, 2008 8:14 am ET

I LOVE HILLARY! She is the only one that will get my vote. If she does not when the nomination, I won't vote in the general election.

I am extremely disappointed with the democratic party leadership and am seriously considering changing to an independent. Most of the democratic crop of leaders are just as inconsiderate and reckless as the republicans. They are afraid to play hard ball with the republicans and forget the Presidential Family that has been able to do so, The Clintons. They are amongst the most productive Presidential Family in history. The Clintons are strong and have proven leadership abilities. If Obama is the nominee and is depending on my vote, he is in trouble!

I'd also like to acknowledge that I am black and like many I am not voting for Obama.

Dot   May 27th, 2008 8:14 am ET

Why is this newsworthy? Such a sensationalist headline. Who cares?

Anne Boyle   May 27th, 2008 8:13 am ET

I am a Democrat and an avid Hillary supporter. I agree with "Get a Grip Democrats!" If Hillary does not win, I will be very sad as she is a woman of incredible skill, who has withstood unwarranted attacks and crtiicism ranging from her cleavage to tired old stories about her husband. However, I will vote for Obama if he is the nominee and pray that he has the intelligence and genius to call upon the woman he defeated to help him guide our country. The same applies to Hillary if she should win the nomination. Our challenges are too great to set aside anyone of great talent because of the acrimony and childish behavior of those who support either candidate. I am disgusted by the anger and mean-spirited attacks. What kind of an example are you to our children? Win dirty? Then expect our candidates to have integrity?

Regardless of Bill Clinton's lapses in personal behavior (which other Presidents have done) HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT OUR ECONOMY WAS GOOD AND THAT THIS COUNTRY WAS LOVED AROUND THE WORLD DURING BILL CLINTON'S TERM??!!

GROW UP. QUIT YOUR NAME CALLING AND REMEMBER OUR GOAL. The Republican Party has brought us to the brink of economic disaster, a loss of civil rights, political croynism, hard core partisanship and political paralysis. Washington needs new leadership an honest UNITER NOT A DIVIDER. THE LAST PERSON WHO SAID THAT DIDN'T REALLY MEAN IT. iT WAS JUST A SLOGAN.

Blayze Kohime   May 27th, 2008 8:13 am ET

Idiotic democrats (on BOTH sides) handing the election to McCain because of your hatred of a person that is just a little different than your choice. Even Clinton and Obama say they aren't very different than one another! If you're going to be a bigot about it, why even call yourself a Democrat to begin with?

mr.g   May 27th, 2008 8:13 am ET

TO hILLARY HAS THE POPULAR VOTE" WHAT PAPER OR POLES ARE YOU READING EVEN IF YOU INCLUDE FLA. AND MICH SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE VOTE WAKE THE H*LL UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE THAT DISGRUNTLED LADY WILL NOT WIN FORGET ABOUTIT. SHE HAS RUN OUT OF PANTSSUITS AND IT IS OVER, DONE,FINISHED. STAND THE H*LL DOWN HILLARY STAND DOWN PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tigerjcs   May 27th, 2008 8:13 am ET

GO HILLARY!
You are not a quitter. You are tough and we will support you all the way!

No Obama for sure.

GB   May 27th, 2008 8:12 am ET

Way to go Obama supporters. Nasty comments when Hillary is popular. I just can't get behind Obama and his nasty supporters if he wins the nomination. Plain and simple.

D C Silva   May 27th, 2008 8:12 am ET

Mrs. Clinton is the most experienced and credible candidate.

We have been asking ourselves if Republicans have catapulted Obama by voting secretly and so they can defeat him easily.

Something similar is happening in PR as some local "populares" voted for Fortuno (the pro-statehood candidate). This was done to avoid having a stealing ex-Governor (Rosello) back on power with his PNP Mafia.

Think of it, McCain has better chances of defeating Obama than Hillary!

Unbelievable   May 27th, 2008 8:10 am ET

This is an example of why people are encouraging sen clinton to get out. It looks bad for them so you have a former President out saying that the "likely" nominee CAN'T win? Since when do democrats behave this way? Polls change from day to day and if Obama is down a couple points after getting pounded 24/7 for 4 months straight is that surprising? As soon as there is a dem nominee the polls will change again.

Kathryn Irby - Metairie, LA   May 27th, 2008 8:10 am ET

Hope she enjoys herself, dancing in the streets! That will be one of her last hoorahs!

Michael Straight Talk   May 27th, 2008 8:06 am ET

I wonder why so many Clinton supports are going against the core things they believe in?:
- Honesty
- Fair play
- NAFTA agreement that includes a win win terms
- Universal Health Care that is afordable
- Balanced budget
- Ending Iraq war more responsibly than how Bush's adm. carelessly got in
- Responsibilty
- Democracy (rules, regulations, votes, etc)
- Good governance and leadership
Hej Folks Sen. Obama has maintained all the above, that is why he is the best candidate and winning fair and square!
If Hillary cannot demonstrate all those values in the primaries, when will she? Ready on day one? What a fake!
Why is it so diffucult to see that Clintons are so manipulative?

Yea Hillary!!!   May 27th, 2008 8:06 am ET

Hillary will win PR by a wide margin. Bill Richardson will leave with his tail between his legs since he cannot help Obama. Hillary will also win South Dakota and Montana!!!! Remember she has the electoral votes needed for the general election. Obama cannot win and the republicans would make him the biggest loser in the history of this country. PR knows who is the best person for the DNC and that is Hillary!!!!!

andrew101   May 27th, 2008 8:05 am ET

Do you Hillary supporters understand what you are doing if you choose McCain over Obama this November. All the things Hillary supports like a woman's right to choose will be made illegal through McCains appointments to the Supreme Court. Think hard what it will really mean to have another 4 years of Republican White House. (and get it out of your head that its Hillary in 2012. this year was her only chance.)

mr.g   May 27th, 2008 8:05 am ET

to NeverObama/sick of Obama I would love to see your faces when Obama takes the Oath of Office. then you can join Hillary in doing shots while dodging sniper fire in the back yard/

That would be a nice ticket McCain-Clinton . I think he should really give it a thought. I wonder would Clinton accept.She is so desperate to be around the white house I am she will take it.

P. Morrison   May 27th, 2008 8:03 am ET

Have none of you HRC supporters noticed that this woman has the highest negatives of almost (if not the most) any politician in our country?? And you want to send this pandering and lying person to the White House to run our government?? Obviously most of you are women who simply want a female president, regardless of the type person she is. As a 60+ white female I would love to see a "LADY" president, but only if she has an ounce of honesty & integrity. HRC certainly can't meet my requirements. To say you would vote for McCain rather than BO shows you have no concern for yourselves or your daughters. Who is responsible for the Violence Against Women's Act, the bankruptcy bill, which many like to criticize, but put Dead Beat Dads responsible for child support? As an anti-abortion mother, I never the less want a womans' right to choose to remain in our democracy. How many laws can any of you name that were sponsored by Reps. meant to benefit women? Or is it as I think it might be-just "racism"-only you're ashamed to admit it? If it is-you certainly should feel shame!!

How the heck can we be a united democratic party come November when both Hillary and Bill are spewing such venom??? Now he claims there is a cover-up; she hinted at an unfortunate incident happening at a prior primary. What is next for these two??? If she were not in the race, it is my sincere belief we would be beating McCain on all the polls. Instead, a Senator, who claims to only want what is best for our country is ensuring we do not take over the White House. I have never seen such selfishness on the part of two people.
Bill Clinton had the White House…it was just temporary. Please move on Clintons.

Ivar   May 27th, 2008 8:01 am ET

This lady is just plain nuts. Dont we all understand that she is truying to destroy the democratic party? I hope and pray to god that good sense prevails on her soon. What in the hell was she trying to say while making reference to Robert Kennedy. Is she trying to imply some thing? Mrs Clinton…..You have just lost your complete sanity…Gosh This lady makes me sick

In North Carolina   May 27th, 2008 8:01 am ET

I have to agree with you Sally in CA. I don't believe a TRUE Democrat will switch and vote for McCain who will run the country like Bush. I am NOT interested in anything or anyone Bush has endorsed!

Larry B of Boston   May 27th, 2008 8:00 am ET

Obamabots will drag this country down and hand the presidency over to the Republicans. But, McCain in the White House for 4 years is a heck of a lot better – and safer – than letting Obama in the building. I trust John McCain a whole lot more than I trust the anti American Wright disciple and the American hating Michelle —

Senator Clinton #1

Senator McCain #2

O my God………..YOU people i can't believe that the Clinton's go to every primary and just keep using propaganda for their benefit and try to get more and more votes by convincing people that they CARE…….while all they want is another 8 years in the white house…..I think we NEEED CHANGE……which is = !Obama!

And becides i wanna who the polls favor in South Dakota and although it seems like Clinton is favored in Puerto Rico but still i'd like to know how mush is she ahead of him in the polls there???

Robert NYC & Miami   May 27th, 2008 7:57 am ET

I LOVE YOU HILLARY!

PLEASE RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT!

si si puede, OMG now she's down to stealing campaign lingos from Obama. She'll promise ANYTHING to get elected, she'll say ANYTHING to get elected, She'll do ANYTHING to get elected.

Even if it means destroying the democratic party.

Snatiching defeat out of the jaws if victory, Hillary?

YES YOU CAN!

Wow….. and WHO cares about this bit of OLD news?

I mean June 3rd can't come soon enough, so we can finally put the Clintons out of their misery once and for all.

Linda Leake   May 27th, 2008 7:54 am ET

I just want to say as I looked at MSNBC last week and I guess they had a townhall meeting in Puerto Rico a question was asked "why were Puetoricans scared of Obama? & this puertorican woman said and I quote"he has 2 things against hime 1st his name, 2nd his color duh! lady you need to look around in your community and see just how many puertoricans are as black as Obama,and the media didn't catch that statement-now for her to say a racist remark like that it's appaluling, it was an ignorant remark from her and for the tv station not to recornize it they too agreed with her-so let me say this these tv like CNN,MSNBC,HEADLINE NEWS & OTHERS,need to be careful we are watching to see just how much you let go on tv statements-so we know exactly where you are coming from I did not appreciate it at all-very racist statement now I will never visit Puerto Rico again I really and truely did not know this is how they think but I will spend my money else where from now on defintely not in Puerto Rico.This to has racist people in they better be glad they are a part of the U.S.but then to look at the source.

GO SEN. CLINTON GO ALL THE WAY TO CONVENTION !!!!!!!!
YOU ARE SMART, STRONG, INTELIGENT, EXPERIENCED THAT'S
WHAT AMERICA NEEDS NOW.
BUT THOSE OF YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS WHY YOU ARE SO DESPARATE TO END THIS CAMPAIGN AND FORCING SEN. CLINTON TO END THE RACE, ARE YOU REALY DEMOCRATS?
WHY YOU ARE SO RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL TOWARD SEN. CLINTONAND PRES. CLINTON OBVIOUSLY YOU FORGOT GOOD CLINTON'S YEARS WHEN EVERYONE HAD A GOOD JOB AND OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE GOOD LIFE – UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE WHAT TO SAY, SHAME ON YOU ALL.

Kaelinda   May 27th, 2008 7:51 am ET

Democrats, wake up! Do you really want four more years of what we've already suffered through eight years of? Voting for McCain will ensure MORE war, MORE deficit spending, MORE economic problems, MORE fuel crises, and MORE corporate tax breaks. Obama and Clinton may be fighting like cats and dogs now, but let's pull together come November and vote for whomever our party elects as its nominee, even if we're disappointed in who that nominee might be. Give the nominee a chance. If it doesn't work out, we have another chance to change things in 2012. But don't throw everything away by voting for McCain just because your favorite candidate didn't win the nomination. That's like saying you'll take your marbles and go home if you can't make up the rules of the game. Please, WAKE UP!

teachearth   May 27th, 2008 7:48 am ET

This is pretty much after the fact, and unfortunately for the HRC campaign too little too late. Obama rallies and supporters have been booing mention of Hillary for many a rally multiple times.

This is not news worthy, especially coming from the losing campaign.
C'mon CNN, a butterfly flapping its wings in the Alaskan forest, a chihuahua on roller skates, or how about a squirrel that can waterski?
Surely not as cool as the Obama-talkin' parrot…..

Pet tricks by all metrics, give it up HRC save your political future and get your foot out out the mouth of the DNC so we can TRY to salvage ourselves and this planet from the evil grips of Repub-hell.

JP Bless   May 27th, 2008 7:47 am ET

Hillary is no longer in the race to win but to knee-cap Obama. After all these years we finally get to see who the Clintons are deep down.

Jamaal   May 27th, 2008 7:46 am ET

The Only reason she has time there is because she has lost the primay they have maybe 15 delegates this thing is over and now she is trying to divide the party and slander Obama she makes my stomach turn everytime I get on the Internet I am just glad Obama ran this year because if he Didn't this Low women would be our nominee I would not have minded but now I WILL Never Vote For Another Clinton and that means you too Chelsea!

Earl Parent   May 27th, 2008 7:45 am ET

As a democrat i will celebrate November 8th when Obama
loses the election! He is the biggest fraud the democratic party
ever produced!

Michael Straight Talk   May 27th, 2008 7:44 am ET

The only positive thing about this long primaries is that it has given people chance to see the real Bill and Hillary Clinton not masks! Moreover it has show what a talented and gifted leader Sen. Obama is, who not only can bulid and lead a great organisation, but can handle crisis in an admirable way! That the kind of Commander-in-chief USA needs!
Hopefully Hillary will learn that when one is quick to judge others ( like labeling Obama as "Elitist" and "Condecending", it will come back to hunt you! Hillary should own her devilish wishful thinking as her reason for still running and stop blaming others! Honesty has never being Hillary's best quality, why should one believe otherwise?

NOBAMA   May 27th, 2008 7:43 am ET

Hilary is the only choice!! Obama is nothing more than a copy cat full of hot air!! He talks the talk. SHE WALKS THE WALK!

Yaymee   May 27th, 2008 7:43 am ET

I hope that Puerto Rico can see through the Clinton political machine and recognize plain truth – OBAMA is the candidate who will honestly represent our diverse population. If you feel you need to understand him better just visit http://www.barackobama.com.

Hillary has done a great disservice to the Democratic Party by staying in the race and furthering the division within our great Party. I hope she will work as tirelessly in mending the fractures she's created as she's worked in creating them.

As a Barack Obama supporter I'd personally like to welcome the good people of Puerto Rico to join the Obama team in the fight to bring fundamental change to Washington!

Vote Democrat! Obama for President!

Teta   May 27th, 2008 7:43 am ET

If Obama does not have the nomination yet, explain to me why she should give up? No real winner ever gives up. Why is it that we don't want the other voices to be heard. Quite frankly, I feel that the nomination shoud not be given to any candidate until everyone has had their right to be heard. If Obama feels like he truly is the front runner, then he would have allowed the Florida votes to be counted. He is playing his cards to his favor and so is Hillary. What is so wrong with that? And for everyone out there, explain to me why your posts need to be nasty, mean and out right dirty. You can argue your point without having to take such ugly positions. In the end, Democrats will need to rally behind their candidate but until then when the race is Not over, no one should quit. And we should all learn from Hillary's example in our daily lives.

Whatever our goal is in life, we should never, never give up. To succeed, you must persevere and be determined to win – always.

Obama   May 27th, 2008 7:43 am ET

What gets me is she can't win mathmatically, and the morons keep throughing away their votes like she has a chance. How stupid are these people? Preatty stupic since they are following what the Clintons say.

Evelyn   May 27th, 2008 7:42 am ET

I will NOT vote for Obama should he get the nomination. I will do a write in for Hillary or vote for Nader. I'm tired of voting for the lesser of 2 evils. I've done it in the last 2 elections and it's gotten us nowhere. This election I'm voting my conscience. GO HILLARY! IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE – A WOMAN!

Jay   May 27th, 2008 7:42 am ET

Haha. CNN was forced to change the headline of this topic after Obama campaign complained that it doesn't look good. Earlier this topic had a headline something like 'Clinton supporters BOO Obama"!!

fred   May 27th, 2008 7:38 am ET

I am an American Soldier. When Hillary supporters talk about supporting McCain I always think about my buddies that won't be coming home. Please realize the full extent of what you say. Happy Memorial Day

Erik, Bowie MD   May 27th, 2008 7:36 am ET

Yawn.

Wake me up on June 3rd for Obama's victory party.

David   May 27th, 2008 7:36 am ET

Yeah, keep it up Hillary. Make sure that no one supports Obama in the fall. Great strategy!

carolyn   May 27th, 2008 7:36 am ET

Obama can't win in nov. and i don't like people telling me who i should vote for. you angry obama supports are part of the reason why. And I guess you can't say anything about michelle because of O's threat, but at least we don't have to listen to her because she hasn't been in the lime light since.I guess she dicided to stay home.

Peter   May 27th, 2008 7:31 am ET

And Clinton added "yo soy una puta mala."

Mortimer   May 27th, 2008 7:30 am ET

Belle, I went looking on Obama site for his negative 'strategy' you talk about please add link because I think you found that the same way Coulter or Hannity finds information.

All this talk still of elitism. Hillary's big support is the 'hard-working white Americans" that didn't go to college. I see her pandering from the back of a pick-up truck, or telling stories of gram-pa shooting guns with her, while she has always been anti-gun. She just lent her campaign 12 million dollars…ummm yeah she is not one of "us".

I listen to her speeches counting how many times she invokes Bill's name an dhow great a president he was, but the thing is he's name isn't on the ticket this time.

And experience? She's only been a senator a little longer than Obama and she has not one monumental law that bears her name.

Oh and for those who want healthcare why not ask Hillary how much money she got from lobbyists the last time she tried that as first lady?

It's the only thing she tried to do as first lady and she failed.

Yoda   May 27th, 2008 7:29 am ET

Puerto Rico doesn't vote in the General Election and what ever happens here won't change the fact that Obama will be the nominee….no matter how many different ways the Clinton's try to spin it……….

Topo Gigi   May 27th, 2008 7:29 am ET

Obama has nothing original to tell us; creativity is not in his mentality!

c'mon cnn – dare print this!

Obama mama   May 27th, 2008 7:28 am ET

Hillary should be very proud of herself. she has created a vast divide in the democratic party, with her win at all cost tactics. her actions have caused her supporters to veiw obama as the enemy, and caused those of us with a brain, great dispair for the damage she has done. She has the right to stay in the race, but you do it without creating anomosity toward your opponant who in the end is on the same team. If she wins I'll probably vote for Nader, I could never vote for a Republican.

Indiana University College Student   May 27th, 2008 7:28 am ET

As a college student, I am shocked with how selfish Hillary Clinton is. I am obviously a member of the Democratic party and I would hope that we would be able to unite as one so that we do not have another four years of what has gone on under George W. Bush's presidency.

I truly hope that once Hillary is out of the running she can make a public announcement that will hopefully move her supporters and make them swing back to Obama. Otherwise, while all this complaining is going on under our breath, we will have another Republican president of the United States.

I hope that is not what you all want. In the meantime, what is Obama's stance on Israel?

Matt   May 27th, 2008 7:27 am ET

Sick of hearing about that idiot. I hated him since the moment I saw him.

with belle   May 27th, 2008 7:24 am ET

I'm with Belle and if the Obama camp thinks women aren't watching them (and mighty pissed off!) they should try THINKING! We are not buying their bull, their media manipulation and their insiduous tactics. If Obama had experience and more merit to fall back on none of their bullying would be necessary, but as so often, the weak and threatened have to do the mobbing while the capable and proven suffer.

Obama/Axelrod (that is the ticket, isn't it?) have RUINED the democratic party and nearly ensured that a democrat has no chance of winning. Good going. GUYS!

AJ   May 27th, 2008 7:23 am ET

Who cares about the Popular vote? It doesn't count in a primary. Remember it's the precinct votes that determines the delegates, not the whole vote.

Frank, MO   May 27th, 2008 7:22 am ET

Whooo … this woman has no style, no shame, no self respect. Sad to see such a below average woman taking her pity revenge for losing a race.

As a Democrat I am ashamed for that person – the Clintons are a disgrace.

Terry in New York   May 27th, 2008 7:21 am ET

What a bunch of crap. Dangling the politcal bone out there looking for any support that may be left. Who in their right mind wouldn't be able to see through this evil witch? She'll say anything, agree with anything, promise anything if you'll vote for her. How in the world would she be able to even come close to doing the things she promising? No way! I just hope her fellow Senators recognize what she's done and how she's hurt the dems. Maybe even NY will wake up and send her packing when the next Senatorial election comes around.

Walt, Belton,TX   May 27th, 2008 7:19 am ET

Come on people! You know Hillary and Bill aren't quitters, and, just like in every previous defeat, they'll come up with good solid reasons to press on. Like just changing the rules, or the parameters of the election, or what is really important, or what the truth really means, or just lying some more. It was so disappointing when it was a sitting President, but with Hillary it has just become pathetic. Maybe that's the card they're playing now. The-feel-sorry-for-me-and-send-more-money-card………………………..

Sure reminds me of all the empty promises of the Clinton regime and now the Bush regime. Obama has a dream and it is a picture of him as the muslim king of America with the missus on the throne beside him. Only they don't have the throngs of democratic citizens in front of them, instead it is an unending graveyard of lessons learned in the past and ignored.

They forgot that freedom is a privilege for those who choose to defend it. Neither the Obamas nor the Clintons have put their lives on the line for America. They have, instead, lived off the largess of the American taxpayer and the intestinal fortitude of those who were willing to put their lives on the line. John McCain is one of those, a very big one of those………………….

carmen   May 27th, 2008 7:19 am ET

Obama draws 75,000 people and not a negative peep about her. She draws several hundred and all they can do is chant Obama's slogan in Spabish? This campaign is totally bankrupt, in money, ideas and morals. Adios Hillary!

carolflowery   May 27th, 2008 7:17 am ET

Has anyone noticed Obama is the only one that has had an ongoing ad that his campaigne pays for, only him, hmmmm, they are racking up, maybe that has a little to do with this bias reporting hmmmm

Fred Anderson   May 27th, 2008 7:15 am ET

Go Hillary, America needs you now more than ever.

Its been dismaying to read the vitriolic and hateful commentary from the Obama supporters . If the people who post comments in favor of Obama's campaign are a reflection of what Obama is all about then this is a very poor showing for Obama's claim to bring people together and to break down division. If anything , there is more division in the democratic camp then I have seen in a long time.

Yankee Dog   May 27th, 2008 7:15 am ET

Too little too late. PR can't even vote in the general election! Time to go HRC and take BC with you.

People in this country have gone crazy for CHANGE, and are so stupid they don't even ask what the Change will be. They FORGOT the prosperous Clinton years. We know what Clinton can and will do for the country, from experience. Everyone wanted a change and elected Bush, now look at us. People wake up, you may get worse than Bush with your CHANGE man.

hope she would keep some respect for herself before officially she get kick out of the race. Her candidacy as a woman candidate is damaging other ladies' chances for the future. Nobody wants to see another nightmare like this. She is waiting for somebody to be terminated then she get the nomination. That is just disgusting.

elena   May 27th, 2008 6:54 am ET

Dear Obamaites,

Tell me again how crude distortions of Hillary's character help underscore the goal of creating unity or of forging the path to a new kind of politics? Choose your enemies, people!! There are many better enemies out there than Hillary and Bill Clinton. THINK.

Janet in KC   May 27th, 2008 6:46 am ET

I am so tired of the "Division" between Hillary and Obama.

Obama has said really nice things about Hillary.. Trying to unite
Hillary keeps stiring up confusion.. Allowing others to boo him our make degrating statements.
Obama won't debate, he's ahead, why should he!
Hillary gives people reason to doubt Obama, knowing the contest is really over.
Hillary leaves bad debt behind.
Obama pays his bills.
Hillary is running a negative campaign
Obama is running a postiive campaign
Hillary promises, notice I said promise she will come together and unite after the primaries.
Obama is trying to unite NOW.. why wait, we need unity now.

Its time to bring this campaign together for the entire USA.

wbTN   May 27th, 2008 6:46 am ET

It sounds like a lot of Obama supporters do not believe in Freedom.
Obama supporters act just like George W. Bush supporters did when they stood outside the VP home screaming"Get out"! when the election was stolen from Gore.
Look where that got us! So disrespectful to our election process.
Your kinda of change is going to leave us all on the streets begging for some real change to eat and find shelter under a bridge. The supporters are the reason why McCain will wins in the fall. Obama is a joke.

Johnny bad   May 27th, 2008 6:43 am ET

Giving up is the saddest thing a person can do, and people who tell someone to give up, obviously have failed themselves. Let the woman be… as long as its not McCain, who cares who the prez is..

Esther   May 27th, 2008 6:43 am ET

Since now is CLEAR Sen. Obama can't win over Sen. John McCain in November 4, and the he isn't ready to resist the republican machinary in this election.

Event Sen. Obama haven't convince the REAL democrats in the United States, because he speak only caught part of the new voters and the "independents" which are the republicans voters to divide the Democrat party. Sen. Obama NEVER will win the red States, but additional will have difficults to win FL, MI, CA, NY, NJ, MA, RI, PA, OH, AZ, TX, NM, NV, etc… the big blue states belong to Hillary Clinton. His math never will get the 270 or 271 electoral votes in America.

Hillary Clinton is the clear candidate to confront McCain and win easily! Any other wrong pick up will divide the party and make the gift to keep de While House to the Republicans.
Want a see it?

HILLARY CLINTON PRESIDENT 2008-2012!

Barack in 08   May 27th, 2008 6:43 am ET

Nice job Hillary, keep showing the American people that with a snow balls chance in hell that you are going to get the nomination, you continue to campaign. You are in debt how much now? What are your plans to pay the people you owe money to? Let's talk about that! And all you Hillary supporters, is this how she plans on running our country? Run us deeper into debt because of what she selfishly believes in???? Hillary go home and let the Democratic party heal from your viscous lies, then we need to band together as Democrats to make sure we win in November. I don't know about your households financial state, but this one can not survive 4 more years of the republicans…..

Glenn Mascarenhas   May 27th, 2008 6:40 am ET

Its about time this stops, if puerto ricans know what's good for them (which is pretty doubtful), they would be better off with Obama. But since we all know about Puerto Ricans and their "significant" contributions to America, they just might go for Billary.

Joyce in Florida   May 27th, 2008 6:38 am ET

As usual, bunch of Obamabots bashing Hillary Clinton. She has every right to keep running her campaign for the presidency. There are a lot of Clinton supporters out there who are not giving up on her either. So stop the hate mongering against Senator Clinton. She should keep fighting all the way to the convention. Hillary we still love and support you 100% and can't wait to see YOU as our nominee. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PAS   May 27th, 2008 6:35 am ET

Why is Hillary campaigning so hard? Deleagates don't really count… they can change there mind. Votes don't count…because you can use funny math to get a different total. Rules don't count.. beacuse if you don't like the rules you change the ruels. So why campaign for something you don't belive in?????

meggy   May 27th, 2008 6:33 am ET

IT WILL BE ALL WHITE IN NOVEMBER FOR Mc CAIN IF OBAMA IS THE CANDIDATE…AMERICA IS NOT YET READY FOR OBAMA.

Belinda   May 27th, 2008 6:33 am ET

Obama will be just fine! He will gain lots of votes there… Once he returns.. Hillary has a way of moving into a state when she is trying to gain votes.. Which leaves her in DEBT.. every state she has move into she leaves DEBT..

APS in Hawaii   May 27th, 2008 6:29 am ET

How do so many Obama supporters get their comments printed? Do you what the odds are CNN for the numbers to be this lopsided? Even your moderator is for Obama. Just for once I wish the Democrats would get a grip and realize Obama is too liberal for mainstream America. I am more afraid of a person who votes present and not put out one specific plan during the entire election process. Cheap slogans and throwing dirt might get Obama the nomination, but many MODERATE Democrats are turned off by what is happening with the party. If you elect Obama to be the nominee, you have snatched defeat from victory again. It is so sad the people do not recognize that Rove stated in July 2007 that the GOP would use the open primaries to crossover and vote for Obama to get rid of Hillary before the general election. So sad and yet I will never vote for Obama because of his dirty political tactics and vagueness on the issues. Just once, won't the news media pin him down for one specific plan. Just one would be a nice start. Go Hillary!!!! Either that or I will sned a protest vote for McCain.

Richard in DC   May 27th, 2008 6:26 am ET

I'm hoping and praying that this bickering and fighting and deepening animosity between Clinton and Obama keeps going on and into the convention. The DNC has become a worthless organization for what was once a great and proud party. I hope this rips the DNC and the party into shreds, then perhaps real democrats can get involved and rebuild their party as it once was and should be.

Hillary is a Winner   May 27th, 2008 6:19 am ET

I hope Hillary wins big in Puerto Rico and shows the world how weak Obombus really is. He is fluff and cotton candy. Don't believe his words of change because he doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Hillary is the candidate that has proven she can win and win big like she did in NY, PA, OH, KY and WV.

She also won Florida and Michigan.

I say a good ticket, a winning ticket would be Hillary and Biden for VP

Goody - Oregonians 4 Hillary   May 27th, 2008 2:44 am ET

Interesting is how Obama just can't take down his opposing candidate. All that money, nastiness and loads of BS and she's still running strong!

Hillary all the way!!!

dictator   May 27th, 2008 2:06 am ET

It is ludicrous, sad , unfortunate that the clitons can apply the abc of third world politics and still have followers in the USA. It is sad to say, but they know who they're dealing with: uneducated poeple to whom math is just a nightmare, read between the lines cannot cross such mind, brief they 're idiots. may be we should not blam them(the clintons) they just seize the opportunity to delude their followers.
It is shameful when one values more the ego, oneself over all.

Connie   May 27th, 2008 1:54 am ET

It's funny how lies is more believable then the truth. The Devil deceive many, but my faith says not enough to give this nominee to Clinton.

I am thankful my children is past the age for this war although my heart go out to those who serve.

I just viewed a program on the ER for our men and women in the war. All of you who say you will vote for McCain should see it. After watching this if you still claim you will vote for McCain after viewing it. You are some sick heartless puppies to want our men and women to go through this. These men and women don't even know who they are fighting. These people are not walking around in uniform so our troops know who they are and getting pick off daily. We are past the number of people killed on 911. Over 4000 dead and over 27,000 mangled.

This foolishness need to STOP. You can blow this is you wish, but don't blame anybody but yourself. It want be Obama's fault or Clinton's fault.

GET A GRIP DEMOCRATS!

DemsV   May 27th, 2008 1:39 am ET

People failed to realize that Hillary has supported Puerto Rico before. Not like Obama that until now didn't even knew were it was.

Hillary went to Puerto Rico in 1998 to get us help after a hurracain. Then she went back in 2001 to help us with Vieques.

She has care about Puertorricans more than what people think.

As a puertorrican in NYC she has my vote. And she has the vote of my family and friends in PR.

Hillary 08-12

B. hawkins   May 27th, 2008 1:38 am ET

This contest is over. There is no way Clinton can win. If you want her to take it to the convention hold your breath. There is no way that Bill and her are going to destroy thier reputations in the party by doing that. Obama only needs 49 more delegates to become the nominee. If you can not accept that now it will be come more clear in the next 10 days.. If you feel you have to leave the party then do what you gotta do. "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen." as Hillary likes to say. John McCain is going to need all the help he can get and the democratic party is going to take back the White House because we have had enough of George Bush and will not accept MCsame

Bob, PA   May 27th, 2008 1:33 am ET

Hillary has become the unwanted house guest that won't leave.

Keith in CA   May 27th, 2008 1:27 am ET

Nikki Willis,
Just a few facts: Obama supporters have not been boasting of their education. Hillary labelled Obama an elitist in an effort to pander to voters and present herself as one of the common folk. Didn't she attend a private school, receive an Ivy League education, and related to people's hardships by telling about not having heat at her family's summer home? Remember in Ohio when she told all those unemployed people the evils of NAFTA without mentioning that she and Bill supported it. How about the Clinton's borderline racist comments spewed from South Carolina to West Virginia? Regarding Reverend Wright, his rants were despicable and inexcusable. That's why Obama denounced and rejected him. Why hasn't Hillary denounced or rejected the West Virginia and Kentucky voters who said they would never vote for a black man? Is she that desperate for votes? Obama supporters don't claim any great educational enlightenment. We just happen to know the definition of hypocracy. And please, do not use the term "caught with his pants down" in any discussion regarding the Clintons. The jokes are too easy.

R.R   May 27th, 2008 1:24 am ET

She promised so many things that poeple should understand that she is just desperetely saying things to win!
Bill knows she can't make it to be the nominee!
They are just dividing the party now!
What a shame! What a sad situation!
I can't believe they are still running!
Maybe they should start preparing chelsea, for a better behavioral campaign! Her mum has been so negative!
I just hope the party will unite behind Barack!
I'm worried they way the clintons are making declarations now: it's not to unite, but to divide! It's really sad! They are pathetic!!!

"Si se puede" means "yes we can".

So now clinton is plagiarizing obama's call? That's laughable.

What's next? Clinton calling for a "change in washington"? was she also called to run for presidency because of the "fierce urgency of now"?

what a loser.

Michael   May 27th, 2008 1:21 am ET

Yes let us run this to the convention and in November hand McCain the White House. I am going to laugh when all you so called Democrats are crying in November when McCain is the President because none of you could get past your short sighted attitudes. It is going to be funny watching all the Clinton and Obama supports blame each other because McCain is President. Don't like what I'm saying, well the truth hurts, Democrats have a chance to unite and take back the White House, it will never happen though. If McCain wins the election because of all this mess then I guess the Democrats get what they deserve, be it good, bad or indifferent. All of this silly back and forth is the main reason Obama or Clinton will lose, Democrats are to short sighted and wrapped up in their own emotions concerning their respective candidate.

L from california   May 27th, 2008 1:21 am ET

i'm tired of hearing all the stupid things that the OBAMA supporter said, this people needs to be educated. if they think obama is the best choice for president why he has not clinch the nomination yet? OBAMA is not ready to be president and all of you obama supporter will have a really bad wakeup call in november. OBAMA will loose….

Omar Khasru   May 27th, 2008 1:20 am ET

Hillary is out to woo America's third world protectorate, Puerto Rico, with scraps. I hope the Puerto Ricans are intelligent enough to reject her condescending remarks and superficial approach, in addition to her 'let them eat cake' attitude.

Dan   May 27th, 2008 1:18 am ET

I love all of the ignorant people saying Hillary should drop out. Obama still has not received the delegates needed to end this thing, and the super delegates could end it today if they wanted. Obviously, they are choosing not to. I wonder why? If Obama is the obvious choice, why don’t the super delegates give him the 50 some odd votes needed?

I voted for Hillary but would gladly take Obama over McCain any day! A no vote or vote for McCain would be down right crazy!!!

MYA   May 27th, 2008 1:14 am ET

Down with Obama supporters,turncoats and traitors. The country can't exist just with rhetorics and misleading promises. We need somebody like Hillary with proven experience and foresight. I am very certain that Hillary's supporters will switch to McCain if Obama wins the nomination.

Ratgurl   May 27th, 2008 1:09 am ET

For all you Women who threaten to vote for McCain if Hillary's not the nominee, think about this:

A vote for McCain is a vote for a man who will be replacing up to 3 supreme court judges with ultraconservative judges, thus overturning Roe v Wade. While you, yourself, may be too old for this to matter, there are many women following in your footsteps for whom this may be a huge issue. Think about them instead of yourselves.

Also, to call Obama a sexist mysoginst is just plain stupid. Go ahead & vote for McCain – the same man who PUBLICLY derided his wife by calling her a trollop & THE "C" WORD in front of the press and who plans to overturn Roe v Wade. Yeah, there's a guy who really supports womens' rights!

And finally, why don't you just offer your children up to go over to Iran to fight "BUSH WAR version3.0," or better yet, go over there yourself. I'm sure our precious America could use a little Darwinism.

Voting for substance   May 27th, 2008 1:09 am ET

Carrie Sean–I almost don't want to respond because your ignorance is pretty clear. But, like most Obama supporters, you are disillusioned by his rhetoric and BS. Hillary didn't "steal" "his" phrase in si se puede. In fact, if one even can "steal" a phrase, he stole it from the United Farm Workers–a group that doesn't support him (as well as representative of a voting block that also doesn't support him). It is clear that you probably have a fair amount of free time–you might do a little research before trying to spew rhetoric without a factual basis…..oh wait, I forgot, you're an obama supporter, that's your/his MO.

"Belle May 26th, 2008 5:08 pm ET

There is no excuse for the way this primary process has been covered by the media and manipulated by the DNC. I have certainly never seen anything like the bias portrayed in the media. The DNC allowed certain states to move their primary up; those states were the states in which they believed Obama would do well. Obama is the most negative candidate I can remember; he inspires such hatred and animosity that is just unbelievable (just read the comments on this site). His "strategy" is insidious hatred; first he makes a derogatory comment about one of the Clintons' benign statements, then he magnanimously states that he believes their explanation while his campaign continues to ensure negative press about the issue. The Michigan and Florida mess is certainly not his fault alone. The DNC messed it up then he brought his lawyers in to ensure there was no revote (which would have been within the DNC rules). Then, he stays above the fray and lets his staff and supporters ensure the hatred and animosity are continued. There is no excuse. Certainly, Obama did not do this alone; the media and the DNC have helped but the Clintons are less to blame for this mess than anyone else, yet they take the most fallout. All the people they have helped so much during their careers have not just turned against them, they have attacked with unprecedented viciousness. The Clintons have not destroyed the Democratic Party; Obama and the DNC destroyed and have ensured McCain will be our next President."

How can Bill Clinton fix his lips to utter the words "disrespect". How dare an impeached president (due to infidelity and lying to the American people) use that word. He has made me ill ! Let's not forget that it was rumored that he was cheating, again, during this campaign (you know that he and Hillary don't use the same planes). Also, I hope she doesn't have the nerve to ask for someone to help bail her out of debt when she continues to incur unnecessary debt! They make me tired.

Glenn   May 27th, 2008 12:51 am ET

I thoguth we were on the same team here? Shouldnt Clinton or Obama supporters be booing the mention of Mc Cain? I think Bilary has created a monster that even she or Bill cant control. This anti Obama faction they created. Ironic since they themselves are not anti Obama . But peoepl usually intensify ideology. Kinda proves Obama's bitter comments/ Thats all you see from the bra burning femma nazis who should be supporting the historical candidate of Obama or Clinton. Their ideology is almost identical, so they need to stop with the threats of voting for Mccain. You wouldnt be doing it for ideological reason but face it racial reasons.

LATINAS FOR OBAMA   May 27th, 2008 12:51 am ET

The Clintons are manipulating people… making the argument that we want her to stay in the race… They know very well that she has no chance of winning… but she is not a good team player, disrespectful and has a problem following rules.

How can Senator obama possibly think of hiring her as his VP? Does she deserve that honor?

We all know she is not a fair player, so, can Senator Obama trust her as VP? I wouldn't.

Does she share Senator Obama's vision? Maybe some but didn't she spent time destroying his deram and bullying him?

Why does she now wants to be his VP? I hope Senator Obama continues to treat her with respect but I hope he has the wisdom not to trust her.

Her husband complains of media and the Obama camp treating her unfairly; so, what were they doing each time Obama 'misspoke'? They characterized him as 'out of touch' and 'ellite'. Her latest Kennedy flop raises serious concerns but is Obama bashing her for that?

Unpredictable and ill intentioned people like her are scarry. Senator Obama will select who he thinks will be the best VP to help him win this election and to be his ally not someone with baggage, negative intentions and manipulative like the Clintons. Sorry!

NOTE: I think America is ready for a White woman President (more so than a Black person) but to vote for her because she is a woman, or for him because he is black, will be wrong. I'll vote Obama because of the issues and because I can trust him more than I trust Hillary or McCain. Each of them can learn lessons from Senator Obama.

Oh Mr. Bill Clinton, to earn respect, you should first practice it. Treat others the way you wish to be treated!

Not Shrillary!!!   May 27th, 2008 12:50 am ET

Please Bill, take her on a long cruise or buy her another home to decorate. It's over for the Clinton Dynasty!!!

steve   May 27th, 2008 12:50 am ET

The ignorance of the people supporting both of these candidates is astounding. The real problem with the political landscape in the country today is that once people choose a side, they will stick with that candidate always. They may not agree with the ideals but rationalize by listing a few qualities that they think there sides candidate may have.
Few people listen to anything besides the bumper sticker slogans that their candidate spews. How many of Obama's supporters realize the damage his tax policies would do to the economy as a whole, from the largest corporations, to the guy making $8/hr flipping burgers? How many of Hillary's supporters know what her stand on so called environmental issues will do to poor families? How many McCain supporters know how many millions of jobs will be lost with his CO2 cap and trade system?
People need to start thinking for themselves and see the evidence in front of them. Government creates problems with idiotic legislation, and then 10 years later treat it as a crisis, and an excuse to form a new department to take care of the so called problem, all the while using your own money to fund their idiocy, and buy votes.

Annoyed in PA   May 27th, 2008 12:50 am ET

I think the real issue of this story should be, why isn't Puerto Rico independent yet and why don't they just have their OWN primary (they're our colony??? I thought we ended that whole 'colonization' thing)? Then they can elect Hilary and take her off our hands.

Hillary Voter   May 27th, 2008 12:49 am ET

Go Hillary! Go Hillary! Go all the way to the convention and to NOVEMBER!

Obama is using the same play book "I'm a uniter, not a divider" as Baby Bush. I scratched my head 8 years ago, and i'm scratching my head now. What exactly am I missing here???! I have tried to be fair to Obama by watching his debates as objectively as I could and was not impressed with the man whatsoever. He is eloquent if and only if he's giving a sermon, but if you ask him off the cuff question he stumbles and stutters for something intelligent to say. How exactly is he to bring about change if he votes along party lines. If he was against the war, why didn't he enlighten the others to do as he would since that's his claim to fame "i'll work across party line to bring about change!". Oh but that's right, he didn't get a chance to vote – or would he had push the "Yes" button only to later state his intention was to vote "No" on the record. i could go on and on about what makes me uncomfortable with obama. Hillary has her faults too. but in the end when i shave off all the distraction and compare them in substance – there is no other choice but HILLARY!

GO HILLARY!

If Hillary really cared about the Democratic party, she would have
stopped the PR crowd from BOOING when Obama's name was being announced. This just goes to show you that Hillary only cares about herself. Obama nevered spoke badly about Ms Clinton, so therefore
I think she should treat him with the same respect.

Remember, there are THREE parties:
1) Republican Party
2) Democratic Party
3) CLINTONs Party

The Clinton's will do just about anything to get back into the White House!

NO! NO! – Mr Obama should have the right to pick his own Vice President. Afterall, all of the prior presidents of the United States had the right to pick their OWN Vice President. What ever happened to FREEDOM of CHOICE????????

I had such admiration for Hillary, prior to this primary season. I was her number one cheerleader, but now, like many others, I have crossed over to change!!

I pray she will save her face for the sake of all women because what she has done with her emotional outburst is justify why women are not seen as good leaders…we are too emotional…sore loosers!! Where is that strength she claims to have?? She appears to be the weak candidate in my opinion.

And, another thing, how can you run a national budget if you can’t manage your own campaigns budget??? She is in debt. Yet, Obama has money to give (her)!

Hello—who is really more electable?? It’s time for democrats to come together. He is winning fair and square according to the rules that were established at the start of this democratic presidential campaign…bottom line!!

Margaret   May 27th, 2008 12:28 am ET

And like several people mentioned, he left PR to step in for his good friend Ted Kennedy.

We are vitnesing another vave of destruction after somewhat quieter period since is clear she can't count even on VP position. So what else but be destructive .God sve us from Clintons, if we can't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton is a divisive and destructive force. Because of her tactics the democrats are likely to lose the election.

Scott (Dallas, TX)   May 27th, 2008 12:19 am ET

There is no Democracy in the United States. Nothing in the American electoral system fits either the academic or practical definition of democracy. The fact that Hillary got less of a delegate advantage out of OHIO and PENNSYLVANIA (where she won by 10 points in each state) than Obama got in IDAHO and KANSAS, speaks for the deplorable state of American politics. It's unfortunate that the most popular candidate for president will not even be able to run for that office because of caucus-based corruption and bogus math. I attended the precinct and county conventions in Texas, where the Obama-run show changed the date of the county convention — in blatant violation of party rules — and made the "caucus" last for 23 HOURS until 7am on a Monday morning! Those who support Obama and the corrupt system that will make him the Democratic nominee should rot in hell.

Too bad – Obama if elected in primaries will cause McCain to win for presidency. It's a shame b/c all along Hillary has been the most prepared and the most heartfelt and hard to admit but the only fighter with a plan. Obama, get that smirk off your face, without counting Florida and Michigan, Democrats are throwing in a candidate with a blind eye into the presidencial race and Obama as much as we all like to see Democrats win has no chance against McCain alone w/o Hillary. Sad but true.

BeAware   May 27th, 2008 12:16 am ET

"Clinton's math just amazes me. I have a BA and BS degree. I've studied geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. No matter which way I cut the remaining delegates I don't see how she is winning nor how she can win the democratic nomination."

Maybe she's buying time, waiting for people to wake up, snapping out of their Obama's fantasy land. The math can change really quickly.

Do we have a double standard America? Obama skips out on 41% of the senate vote? That's a full 10% more than Hillary and puts him only behind McCain and Tim Johnson. Don't we want a President that thinks its important to be working in the Goverment? He spends months blasting Bill Clinton, but as soon as his spouse frankly states that "she's proud to be an american for the first time in her life, he tells america to lay off the wife. Obama made spouse fair game, so how many Americans want a 1st Lady who's only reason to be proud of America is that a black man is president? How about that America is the land of the free? Protector of the little guy? Any of that do it for you Mrs Obama? If Clinton or McCain went to a church who's ministry said any type of coments that Obama;s did, people would think they were having parties in white sheets and burning crosses. Look I gotta call it as I see it. Popeye's chicken in the white house!

Core Democrat   May 27th, 2008 12:15 am ET

Obama is NO more qualified to be President that I am!
Maybe I should run!
I lack experience, but I talk a really good game!
AND I AM PROUD OF MY COUNTRY EVERY DAY!
YES I CAN!
PAULA FOR PRESIDENT!

AW augusta maine   May 27th, 2008 12:14 am ET

Puerto Rico, as it should be, I liked Bill Clinton once, and I don't much like either Bill or Hillary these days. What I find ultimately disturbing I Bill's incessant whining that his wife isn't being treated fairly….this does nothing for her stature as a potential Commander in Chief….come on Bill..if you have to defend her from her own people, then where is her credibility in the eyes of the rest of the world…which largely hates us, by the way.

iyapo kontar   May 27th, 2008 12:14 am ET

If they dont like Obama Dont ask for anything of him just keep dancing

Mike   May 27th, 2008 12:13 am ET

Hey Clinton supporters:

She is NOT winning the ACTUAL popular vote. She is winning if you take into account the Michigan primary, in which Obama got ZERO votes. Only the Clintons think that this primary was valid.

You really need to look into the facts before you start regurgitating the lies Hillary has been spewing on the campaign trail.

pooltop   May 27th, 2008 12:12 am ET

I have ONE word for Hillary and her supporters: DELUSIONAL.
And to the Hillary 'supporters' who claim they'll vote for McCain rather than vote for Obama: You're SORE losers and you're no democrat if you would vote for McCain to continue his Bush politics and the downfall of this entire country.
Are you trying to get the democratic party to win or just Hillary?
Simpletons.
You're doing exactly as she's asked you to: Give up a victory for the democratic party just because Hillary (as the most well known woman in the world) CANNNOT win. If she's known more than any other woman and you guys claim everyone wants her to win, THEN WHY ISN'T SHE WINNING?
Obama came out of SHEER OBSCURITY…a few terms in senate to BEAT this woman who has (according to her stories ) 20 years (yeah, right!) of political experience.
That tells you everything you need to know about this woman and her 'politics.'
And in regards to Bill, as a lifelong democrat, I've lost so much respect for this man over the past 6 months with his mudslinging, name calling and conspiracy theories I don't care if I ever see the guy's face again in the media.

Umpire   May 27th, 2008 12:11 am ET

Roe v. Wade won't be the only decision to be overturned: Look for the Griswold case, in which the Supremes barred Connecticut's ban on the purchase of birth control devices, to be challenged as well. That seems unlikely, but recently, the Attorney General of Texas, who comes from the right wing of the Republican party, filed a brief in which he maintained that it was in the interest of the state to see that sexual activity occured only in the context of procreation. That, too, might seem fantastic, but look it up! Remember that John McCain has promised the religious right judges who will support their agenda.

Michael   May 27th, 2008 12:10 am ET

Nikki:
Your education comment has no basis in fact and frankly is uncalled for, I am college educated and would happily support Obama if it keeps McCain out of the White House. You comments about Wright also have no basis in fact and do nothing but divide the races more than they are already. Since you claim to be educated, tell me why sociologist tend not to use the word race when they refer blacks, hispanics or asians. Since you are educated, compare and contrast the biological differences between blacks, whites, hispanics and asians. Be careful in your claims lest you wish to be taken to task.

Marlie:   May 27th, 2008 12:10 am ET

Anne from Canada: Maybe you should go back to the US and live for another ten years. Canada does not want Hillary. A recent poll here shows that 3 out of 4 people are for Obama. Get your facts straight. Marlie from Canada

Alicia   May 27th, 2008 12:09 am ET

Okay. So FOUR (4) more years of McBush who will keep our young getting killed in Iraq while their children don't go to war.

I have now officially lost ALL respect for Hillary. Hillary only cares about herself. She is NOT a true femnist. She is just a power greedy person that even would love to see harm come to someone for her to get the nod.

Funny, when she was leading the pack, she was all happy and smiles. Now, poor wittle Hillary is losing! OH MY!

Obama………si se puede!

Danilo Deocampo   May 27th, 2008 12:08 am ET

Hillary is the most qualified candidate — male or female. Yet, the
DNC and the media is maneuvering to promote Obama as the
democratic nominee. Remember their last nominee . . . some guy
named Kerry ?. . . Does anyone remember the robust economy of the
Clinton years? Anyone? . . .

Well, if not Hillary . . . my family and I are voting for McCain.
If Obama wins, then go ahead and suffer . . .

Mrs. Clinton should take it right to the convention.
With the situation we face inside and outside this country we need
a person with backbone. I really see Mr. Obama as an empty
suit. I mean the guy has done nothing for anyone but himself from
the time he sold out the brothers to a slum lord and continued to
take money from the guy to now with the his old lady and the hospital
that pays her and him and throws people out on the street.
The guy is a phony from top to bottom.

Anna   May 27th, 2008 12:06 am ET

Who are you, Obama people? Where does your hatred come from? Have you no sense of balance. Have you no sense of respect and civility for those you do not agree with? I am truly stunned by the vitriol, for you must be Democrats. And it sounds like you are the very people who would crucify Christ all over again. Really. Who are you? Explain to me the depths of your hatred. I am truly mystified. May God bless Barack Obama, he is wonderful. And may God bless Hillary and Bill Clinton, for they too are wonderful. Let us join together Democrats, and stop the irrational negativity and darkness. Peace to all!

Linda   May 27th, 2008 12:05 am ET

I am so horrifed whenever I read the comments posted to a CNN article. I have NEVER in my life heard/read such hatred and aggressiveness towards a candidate as I have in this election – and we've had much worse candidates during my lifetime than Hillary. Only Obama's supporters spew personal, vindictive remarks about Hillary. Early on in the primary campaign, I subscribed to Edwards, Obama and Clinton website so I could get their emails. OBAMA was the only website and emails who personally attacked the opposing candidates and name specific things they had said. Obama's campaign is responsible for the divisiveness that is enveloping the democratic party. There has been absolutely no reason for Hillary to drop out of this race – other than to forefeit the race! The primary election is a TIE. Hillary has the popular vote and Barack has the delegates. Which do we choose? I am personally terrified of an Obama presidency – I have no idea what he stands for, what he believes in or what his goals are – he sounds like a raving, arrogant brat to me – And it is amazing that despite the sexist media, a vicious Obama campaign, and a lack of funds, Hillary has still receive more than half the votes in this country. I totally trust Hilllary's competence, judgement and integrity. I do not trust Barak Obama at all.

DNC and Obama is destroying the democratic party. Some how the deleagates supporting Obama without thinking the popular vote and opinion. It is a shame of the democracy. DNC and Obama is destroyed the party and helping republicans to win the next election.
I feel sorry about Jimmy Carter, one of the best democratic president
betraying his party and a good chance to get the presidency. This time Obama Hussien need to run for Vice presidency then he will get a chance to run for presidency, other wise both the candidates and DNC is loosing their best chance, Hope Hillaryb will run as an indipendent candidate.

Jason   May 27th, 2008 12:04 am ET

Could it be that the media covers Obama more because he's actually winning? In every way? Does anyone remember the pre-Iowa days where Obama was treated with the same sort of "he's here but we all know who's going to win here" treatment as John Edwards?

When you're leading in the popular vote (unless we want to include states when he wasn't on the ballot), have an insurmountable lead of pledged delegates, leading in superdelegates, and have won twice as many states as your closest rival…lol, you're the winner.

Jane   May 27th, 2008 12:04 am ET

You anti-Hillary fans need to wake up! Obama is useless! If it is between Obama and McCain, I hope McCain wins. Obama will ruin this country and be a big dissappointment to all. His promises are full of hot air! Go Hillary!!

Bizzar comments and behaviors unbefitting of a former President and a former first lady!! I would never have thought that both would stoop so low as to work so hard to pit democrates against democrates!! For a couple who defaced the white house and still have such impetus and guts to say the things they say tells one a whole lot about this pair. They are made for each other.

Both must be in a lala land. For someone (Bill) who made a fool of himself and the presidency, Bill "I did not have a sexual relation with that woman" Clinton ought to be ASHAMED of himself for making outrageous comments. But then, the guy has no shame whatsoever; nor does his wife!!

Someone please get both of them to a nut house!!

Mary   May 27th, 2008 12:02 am ET

Senator Obama and his supporters are out of touch with the real America. They think they can taunt, blame amd smear Senator Clinton but it will come back and haunt them. Senator Obama is losing the respect of the voters every day and will not win another electiion. He should just go back to his corrupt home city of Chicago and let the voters pick the best candidate. Obama will say and do anything to win, anything, but mostly wrong.
America wants Senator Clinton in the White House again.

Gaby in TX   May 27th, 2008 12:01 am ET

It's a delegate race, not by popular vote. HRC says it often enough, her people will believe it. HRC needs to be more transparent and bring out those skeleton's in her closet to include Bill since she is married to him whether he was president or not.

Stop and think a minute for the country's sake. Have you done any homework on the man you're following? I understand that our country has become a celebrity worshiper, but this is a serious matter. Com'on.

The Reality Check   May 26th, 2008 11:59 pm ET

I think Clinton is mentally ill! I hope she uses her senator's mental health benefits before New York gives her the boot! What a waste of her supporters money! It's a shame how the unintelligent , uneducated, people can be robbed! This is a lesson for anyone not planning to pursue a college degree!

gino   May 26th, 2008 11:59 pm ET

Bravo Mrs. Clinton. Please do not lose out on us. We support you no matter what. You have won our hearts and minds. I would support your candidacy even if it is outside of the traditional hold of the Democratic party. The party needs many lessons to learn. One of the big ones is that they need to revote in all those states after Obama's connections with William Ayers and his philosophy with Pastor Jermiah Wright became known. Old primaries need to be repeated since people did not know of Obama as they know of him now.

We want to you to run as Independent if Dems drown you.

HILLARY SUPPORTER.   May 26th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

If Hillary is not selected by the cover up of DNC and the Obama people
we a group of people will vote for John Mcain, because there is no democracy in democratic party. Think about the popular vote that Hillary has. Delegates number is not important need to count the popular vote and the experience. Obama doesn;t have any knowledge and no good for a sppech. Look for another 4 more years of republican rule.

Mike in Calgary   May 26th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

Clinton wants Revotes in Florida and Michigan and will pay the $10M cost for them. Malarkey! Her campaign has squandered $190 M,
and is $20 Million in debt.

JUST WORDS … er Bosnia Airport ,,, JUST LIES from the Clintons.

Hillary has served us well and will continue to do so. Shame on you all for being so horrible to her. I PROMISE I will vote for McCain over Obama. ..and yes, I'm a white collar self made millionaire and I think she rocks.

SC for Hillary   May 26th, 2008 11:55 pm ET

To all you STUPID IGNORANT OBAMA SUPPORTERS, showing your ignorance will not get Obama elected as President, infact it shows how WEAK he is, anytime you obama kool aid drinkers have to stoop so low as to try and down rite degrade Hillary Clinton who is by far the most qualified, and the one who really care about all people not just the WHITE people as Barack and Michelle only care about the BLACK people, and it will show when the republicans 527 pull the covers off both Obama and Michelle degrading the white people in various churches. To all the 17 million Americans who voted for Hillary, please help me send Obama a message in November or better yet a GIFT: A LANDSLIDE FOR JOHN MCCAIN. WE ALL KNOW OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN BUT I DON'T JUST WANT A LOSS, I WANT A LANDSLIDE. NO MORE RACIST MICHELLE AND BARACK OBAMA.

Obamamites are sick of hearing about Clinton and vice versa. All politicians lie, wake up people. Obama is a through and through politician. The more you guys put him up on a pedestal, the farther he is going to fall. Just wait, if the gets to be President, see how hard it will be to criticize him without being labelled a racist.

Richard   May 26th, 2008 11:53 pm ET

Anyone signing their response "Clinton or McCain" needs to have their head examined, for a vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush.

Oh, if only you radical Obama people would learn to spell and speak respectfully for the office of president of this great country. You haven't been a Democrat long if you don't know all the good that Bill Clinton did for this country! Too many people will not vote for Barack Obama, and it has nothing to do with his color. It is his lack of experience in government, his poor choice of a pastor, his spew-hating wife, his one speech that I hear day after day on the news. Change–What in the world will he change? We are waiting to hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nikki Willis   May 26th, 2008 11:52 pm ET

Win or lose, Hillary will still be Hillary. She will remain a national figure and a powerful voice in the Senate if she loses.

But if Obama loses, he is done. He can only pretend to be a uniter for so long before everyone wakes up to the reality. Just like Jesse Jackson, whose glory days only belong in his dreams.

And he will lose.

That's a pretty negative statement of yours, Belle, both in its harshness towards Obama and its pessimism about the general election. Obama is certainly capable of winning in November, but only as long as disappointed Clinton supporters like yourself can restrain themselves from trying to avenge their fallen candidate and instead vote based on what matters.

TheTruth   May 26th, 2008 11:51 pm ET

Wake up everyone. The Presidency of the United States is NOT an internship program. Obama can be a talented leader, but he needs to earn it first. Foreign policy is a very complicated matter, especially now. He has not dealt seriously with any foreign issues yet, nor the economy (he has not run any enterprise), nor the healthcare system. Just do not follow the media which only narrowly paints the picture of a young man escalating to this lever for its own gain. Check out his accomplishments and do some reality check on his promises. Not because we're mad at the current situation and jump for any change and put in the Whitehouse an even much bigger loser.

We do not want a socialist state with 1/2 of our salaries go to petty social programs.

media bias anyone?   May 26th, 2008 11:51 pm ET

wow, yet another instance of the media and CNN in particular going soft and running an ad praising hillary, what i'd really like to see is some mention of Peter Paul v Clinton or maybe some questions regarding campaign finance,

Si se puede – I don't believe this was co-opted FROM Clinton's TO Obama's campaign, but the other way 'round. For those who are still taking remedial spanglish, it means "YES WE CAN" – sounds a bit like the distinguished senator from Illinois' slogan, don't it?

Nunca Hillary!

Katie   May 26th, 2008 11:47 pm ET

It makes sense for Obama not to waste his time in Puerto Rico–they can't vote in the general election, and that's what he needs to be focusing on now. Face it, Clinton and her supporters–it's over. If you really care about the issues, it's time to come together as one party and support Barack Obama–I have faith that Clinton's supporters are intelligent enough to make the right choice once they begin comparing his stances with McCain's, which sadly do not live up to his reputation as a maverick. We're on the same team, guys–trust me, if you agree with Clinton's proposed policies, you shouldn't have much of a problem with Obama's either.

Also, kudos to Charles for pointing out that Obama was also filling in for Ted Kennedy, another reason he didn't spend much time in Puerto Rico.

Obama '08!

obama supporter   May 26th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

As an Obama supporter, I would tell Obama to campaign more in the remaining primaries and put an end to Clinton's last illogical argument about getting more votes in the final states. Everyone knows that Obama closes on Hillary in every state he campaigns seriously.

obamamama   May 26th, 2008 11:45 pm ET

time for hillary to run as an independent,she already has her loyal supporters of 17 million and in a three way that might be enough.I am ready to donate to the max in such scenario.

Christopher   May 26th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

I think Hillary is the best chance if we want someone with experience. I am all aout change, but how about credentials and experience. I wouldn't be gun ho to have a helicoptor pilot take over flying my airplane. I believe senetor Obama will be a great leader someday, just not next term.

Hillary, I know Texas is a long shot for the party, but we are here for you.

How Sad   May 26th, 2008 11:44 pm ET

Silly Hilliary supporters. All they can do is post messages that sound like a cheerleader at a pep rally. They have nothing to say about issues.

That's because they don't know diddly-squat about issues. Why else would they threaten to throw their vote to McCain, whose ideology is the 'mcsame' as Bush. They can't possibly be true Democrats.

No wonder the demographics of Hillary supporters are called "the uneducated".

Nikki Willis   May 26th, 2008 11:43 pm ET

Everyone should notice how Obama supporters like to pat themselves on the back for being "educated" while calling Clinton supporters "rednecks". By the way, if you are one of Obama's college age supporters, you are just a high school grad. What makes you more "educated" than other high school-educated working people?

It's even more ironic how Obama could play good cop bad cop with his racist preacher, and still get called a uniter. If a Clinton supporter can point out the obvious, that Obama's unusually large share of the black votes is because of his race, and be labelled a racist, why the same people accusing her stayed silent when Obama's own preacher got caught with his pants down? Obama himself stayed silent as long as Reverent Wright was winning the black votes for him. No wonder he runs such a "clean" campaign, Because he has these other people fighting the nasty battles for him.

marina   May 26th, 2008 11:42 pm ET

I am a European married to an American, living in the US since last August. I have lived through several elections in several European countries throughout the years.

I am used to an objective, decent, civilized coverage by the media of the election process, coverage which is informative and at the same time gives people the necessary elements to judge and decide. I have NEVER, EVER witnessed in my life such a circus: the media trying to impose one candidate over another, "pundits" of unknown breed and quality who present themselves as the big experts, and a Democratic Party, which tries to push down the throat one candidate over another!!!

I've always wondered why there have been so few Democratic Presidents in the last few decades, at least; why the Democratic Party failed to react or react inappropriately in situations which put the US in shame, internally and vis-a-vis the world. Now, I understand, there is no mystery: a DNC which is ruled by extreme liberals (nothing bad in that, I am one myself but NOT the majority of the party) with no or little connection to the rest of its constituencies, turns a blind eye to the facts about the November election . The result: a continuously hurt US and a sure McCain victory in November. WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

Keep fighting Hillary, because you are shameless, soar loser, and your supporters are racists. Keep fighting, never stop, take it all the way to Obama second inauguration in 2012. Maybe by then you'll get a clue. and you might want to watch Bill while your in PR, you know he's trying to tip the barista.

Chris   May 26th, 2008 11:39 pm ET

The democratic superdelegates need to be very careful when they nominate their candidate in this volatile election. With Nader, Barr, McCain, and (presumably Obama), Clinton could run as independent or with a 3rd party that has ballot access and do very well in the general election.

Yes she can, Hillary, all the way to the White House.

Former Hillary Supporter   May 26th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Hillary is pathetic. Her campaign at this point is taking its cues from Mondale's in 1984 when the battle cry became "polls don't vote, people vote." Sadly, while the polls didn't vote, they were accurate." "Yes we can" is like "polls don't vote." It's inaccurate. Worse, it's divisive to the party. I got off the Hillary bandwagon when I realized that she'll say (and has been saying) "whatever." The Cubs / Yankees fan needs to accept reality: something she's not good at doing. The longer she goes on with her divisive campaign, the sooner will be her demise in the Democratic party. Her supporters need to send her that message, if she can't see it herself.

melty   May 26th, 2008 11:38 pm ET

Don't listen to them, Hillary — the DNC establishment, the biased media, Obama's fanatical following. Keep fighting. You've earned this nomination through the strength of character you developed along the way.

And the last thing this country needs is another stolen election.

Give me a break, just another indication of why the Democrats are in real trouble and no one seems to care one way or another. I have said it before, this election is about Clinton or Obama and who is liked better, not about the real issues that face this country. This is why McCain will most likely win in November, Democrats can't get past the love, hate relationships they have with Clinton and Obama. Take a bow Democrats on your success in handing McCain the White House because of your unwillingness to come together behind a candidate be it Clinton or Obama.

The more Bill cries foul play on Hillary's behalf, the more he hurts his party and demonstrates his lack of loyalty to anyone but his own cronies. Sad. AS MUCH as I admired him as a political intellect even though I was angry that his personal character flaws squandered his ability to lead and lost us the midterm elections and Presidency, now I don't even care for him personally. Sad. Jimmy Carter is a standup guy and Clinton cannot even approach his lifetime legacy and credibility.

So, Hillary was bouyed up by an endorsement from a snake like Karl Rove. And, through twisted mathematics that are only taught in mental institutions, she says she's ahead in the popular vote. And now, because of a few hundred people in Puerto Rico (if you've ever been to where she held her rally, it's a tiny place) are for her, she finds this compelling evidence to continue. My god, Hillary, you're really puttind deposits in the humiliation bank, aren't you? Very soon you're going to make a withdrawal, and it's going to be a terrible thing to watch. Why do you continue? You don't have a chance…it's over….. The DNC may go through the motions of considering your weird logic, but they're not changing the rules for you

For what its worth, I think Senator Obama the better candidate. And I will be voting for him in the general election. Sen. Clinton did not run an effective campaign, and let her hubris and entitlement mentality overcome her better judgment. If Sen. Clinton cannot organize and win a primary contest against an upstart in the Democratic Party, then it is difficult to see how she could defeat Senator McCain, especially with such high negative popularity numbers.

And how do they figure they are winning the popular vote?

Clinton's math just amazes me. I have a BA and BS degree. I've studied geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. No matter which way I cut the remaining delegates I don't see how she is winning nor how she can win the democratic nomination.

"Si se puede!" was stolen by the Obama campaign from the United Farm Workers whose patriarch and American heroine, Dolores Huerta, has tirelessly campaigned for Senator Clinton! Learn your history before tossing out accusations.

More than half or America's democrats have voted for her, why should she leave now? So much could happen between now and August. Why are so many people scared of democracy playing its course? Things can get very frightening if future viable candidates are bullied out before their time, it is not what America should EVER look like.

dbeazy   May 26th, 2008 11:14 pm ET

What I don't understand is how all these "Clinton" supporters (aka Republicans who are scared of Obama) are claiming that Obama has no chance. Check the polls. Furthermore, almost every non-American agrees that Obama would undoubtedly be the best president. So get over your whining about HRC not being the nominee and just make sure John McSame does not get elected or I will move to Canada…

Why does Hillary keep promising every state things they wanna hear, same old tactics as washington…she just promised puerto ricans who cant even vote in the November election that she will solve their issues by the end of her first term. She also promised every other previous states. Hillary honey, you cant promise everyone that you will help them out just to make them feel better. Action SHOULD speak louder than words! This is why I stopped supporting her and changed my vote to Obama. At least with Obama, I know where he is standing and if he is gonna do something for us or not UNLIKE hillary who keeps promising everyone just like Bush did. I am tired of the same old politics in washington. TIME FOR CHANGE! God bless Obama and the USA.

To All of the "democrats" who are saying "Hillary or McCain":

IF another Republican enters the white house because you all are salty –
when the number killed or seriously injured soldiers continue to increase.
when gas prices continue to rise.
when reproductive rights are decreased to cases of rape.
when he economy continues to benefit big business while the "hard working, white americans" continues to struggle.
when jobs continue to disappear because of off-shoring.

I hope you all sit back and have a COKE AND A SMILE AND TAKE PRIDE IN THE MESS YOU SUPPORTED WITH YOUR SELFISH STANCE.

You have 2 politicians who see eye to eye on ~85-90% of the issues and yet you rather see a Republican in office rather than Obama. EXPLAIN THAT TO ME PLEASE!!!!! And don't give me that "he's a liar crap" because we have always expected ALL politicians to say what they have to in order to get or keep their job.

A.C   May 26th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

Hill dog is so unorignal…using Obama Rally statement "Si Se Puede". She needs to step down so we can take the Republicans head on. Oh and for those who doubt Obama….haven't you learned that he's beating Clinton fair and square…I believe he can beat McCain hands down.

Lara   May 26th, 2008 11:12 pm ET

When Hillary brought up the fact the Robert Kennedy was still campaigning in June she forgot (or didn't want to remember) that he didn't announce he was running until March so the campaign had only been going on for a few months. It seems like this one has gone on for years and I'm sick of it.

Hillary is an intelligent, ambitious, driven woman. I know she's prideful but it's time to pull the party together and look to the fall. Hopefully she will help unite the party and not do anything underhanded to hurt Obama's chances.

And for all those who say that they would vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination – well, when you're living in a housing project or maybe in your car, when you see us enter our 10th, 11th, 12th year in the Iraq war, when the number of dead US soldiers reaches that 10,000 mark – then you can pat yourselves on the back and feel proud that you helped achieve all that through your childish, selfish behavior.

Nikki Willis   May 26th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

A major difference between the primaries and general elections is that in a general election, one citizen only gets one vote. The winner also takes all. If Al Gore and John Kerry had been given their share of the delegates in states that George Bush won, the democrats would have owned the White House 16 years by now. However, that's not how it works.

Obama has fared far better in states with caucuses than in states with primaries, and this is because the caucuses are much more time-consuming than primaries. Clinton supporters are mostly working people and the elderly, who are not as likely to hang around the caucuses late into the late, while Obama supporters (at least the 25% of the white vote he is getting) are mostly college kids who would have stayed up all night otherwise anyway. The few Billionaires who support Obama probably do not have to worry about getting up early for work either.

Olivia   May 26th, 2008 11:11 pm ET

Peace and prosperity…….that was the legacy left to us by the Clintons, and that is what Hillary can give us again.
She has been running a strong campaign on important issues to get us back on track. Obama has copied some of her words and proposals, but with her experience she is the natural choice to be the next president. She is making such an impact that the obama supporters have been trying to get her out of the race before it's run its natural course. Don't know what they are afraid of………every vote should be cast and counted so they are trying to inhibit the american voice.

Vote Hillary! Latinos…..she has always been there for you. Forget the Pied piper, don't be fooled by any johnny come lately. this isn't time for a parade, it is time for making a serious choice for this country.

Russ   May 26th, 2008 11:10 pm ET

JeffM   May 26th, 2008 11:09 pm ET

I Love the notion that the democrats have some reason to NOT want the most popular candidate… Bill's conspiracy/cover-up theory is just the latest in increasing desperation from that family.

why would there be a coverup? Why would the party NOT want the most popular, and electable, candidate? Why would they "cover up" polling data, Bill? They want to LOSE? Is that what you're saying? They want to put the LESS popular candidate out there so they can lose? For spite?

Whatever… I was on the fence but I'm all about Obama at this point. In the meantime, Florida and Michigan made their beds. Time to lie in them. If the votes feel disenfrancised, they have state election boards to complain to, not Obama and not Clinton. And most of all, Clinton suddenly declaring those votes to count without a fair and equal contest is laughable. She went in with higher name recognition and didn't even have opposition in one of the contests. She'll take a win no matter how tainted, clearly.

Nice Try. Give Up, Hillary.

All of you who are againts Hillary are just scare of her and of how strong she is. For those women that are against her shame on you. For years we have been deprived of so many jobs, pay increases and higher postions because we are women, and now that there is one of us to represent and show this country that we can cook, wear heels and lead a country we don't support her. I can't believe that in some South American countries where there is so much "machismo" there are women leaders and women as president but in this country that we have freedom we have NEVER had one. WOMEN GET IT TOGETHER!!!

Sexy   May 26th, 2008 11:09 pm ET

Hillary makes me sick saying she is going to end the war when she voted for the war without reading the NIE. Why would anyone want someone to run the country who voted on a war without reading the report. Yet you have these dummies who think she is the best candidate. How she expect to handle this economy when she bankrupt her own campaign? I know I wouldn't trust her to make life better for me economically. She is leaving so much unpaid bills in every state she campaigns in. If you all think she is the best candidate then why don't you help pay off her campaign debt? I gues you all are not going to do that. Barack is not in debt and he is winning. I am glad I am supporting a winner and not a sore loser….

Jared   May 26th, 2008 11:07 pm ET

I've read several posts that claim Obama cannot win in November. However, they never explain why Hillary would win the general election. I have a newsflash for you: she can't win the general, and here's why.

Policies:

Iraq: Hillary voted for the war in Iraq, and just like John Kerry four years ago, McCain will portray her as a "flip-flopper." And if you don't believe me, tell me why she never apologized for her vote.

Iran: Last year Hillary criticized McCain for threatening to bomb Iran. Last fall, Hillary voted to name Iran a terrorist state, like McCain. And last month, Hillary went on Fox News of all news networks to proclaim "I will completely obliterate Iran." Where's the difference between McCain and Hillary on the issue of Iran?

The Gas Tax: McCain was the first to propose this scam, and Hillary followed suit. There's no difference there.

Cracking down on OPEC: McCain began pandering to the voters about how he will crack down on OPEC, and once again, Hillary followed suit. And my apologies to both McCain and Hillary, but because America is not a member of OPEC we cannot apply any pressure on the cartel to lower oil prices.

Gun Control: I know in recent weeks Hillary has championed herself as a gun toting populist. However, upon closer examination of her voting record, McCain will say she's a liar, which brings me to my next point.

Personality:

Since today's politics are more about personality than substance, Hillary has an approval rating that matches Bush. The last time I checked, only 30 percent of the electorate had a favorable opinion of her. Compared to that, McCain would come across as a nice grandpa since he has a much higher approval rating.

The issue of trustworthiness: Hillary has argued that everyone knows the baggage she carries, and guess what? The reason Republicans were looking forward to running against her last fall is because they relish using that baggage to their advantage. If you think the universal healthcare debacle, the conservative revolution of '94 and the impeachment don't matter, they do because Republicans haven't forgotten and neither have Democrats. Add Bosnia to the list, and you have the makings of a polarizing politician that would make Nixon blush.

Her Campain:

The Obama campaign gives Hillary too much credit because she has run a lousy campaign. She ran as the incumbent, and did not plan beyond February 5th. Also, she changed campaign messages more times than Cybil changes personalities. First she was for all Americans, and then she became about "hardworking white Americans." This brings me to my next point:

African Americans: I'm not African American, however I can sympathize with that constituency because the Clintons have used the race card against Obama since South Carolina. As a Jew, this worried me because what the Clintons have said about race is not limited to one group of people: it effects everyone. When I heard Hillary reiterate Obama's race in this election, I could imagine Hillary running against my people, the Jewish people, referencing the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to pull ahead (which is complete bull, by the way). For that, I lost all respect for the Clintons.

The campaign debt: Republicans have already joked about this, but it bears repeating: how can Hillary run the country if she can't even run a campaign? She's now over $20 million in debt. How is that possible?!

The Divisive Nature of her Candidacy: If Bill truly believes there is a "cover-up" to prevent Hillary's chances of winning, I think both he and his wife should be committed. Because the truth of the matter is the Democratic Party has allowed her to continue despite her nasty remarks these last few weeks about race, the popular vote, and of course RFK. At no time has Hillary been considerate to Obama and his supporters. After all, Obama has won just as many votes and brought in more money. She cannot ignore that we exist, because we are the voters that put Obama over the top. Instead of continuing to divide the Democratic Party, Hillary should have made her case to young voters, white-collar Democrats, and African Americans. Instead, she thinks that our voices don't count, and that is arrogant beyond reckoning.

The Superdelegates: Hillary likes championing democracy these days, but that is merely a cover to the argument she has been making since February: the only way Hillary can secure the nomination is to have the superdelegates give it to her. However, since everyone in the Democratic Party, including Hillary, agreed that pledged delegates would determine the outcome, at this stage in the game, if the superdelegates were to rob Obama of his victory, what is to stop him from taking the fight all the way to the convention? That and because a majority of the public, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats agree that she has been divisive, her idea of a party coup will rob Democrats of victory in November.

In sum, I will agrue that Hillary gave up the fight for the people a long time ago. I think she and Bill are exhausted, arrogant, and they've defined their campaign about themselves. For Bill, this was his last opportunity to redeem his presidency because despite his economic successes, his sexual exploits gave us eight years of Bush (and if you don't believe me, there is no other explanation why the 2000 election was divided right down the center when the Democrats could tout eight years of economic achievement and a surplus to boot). As for Hillary, call me cynical, but I see her campaign as the reward for staying with Bill despite his public shame of her. My mother ( who happens to be 62), divorced my father because of his infidelity, and throughout this campaign, she kept telling me that she thinks Hillary is a doormat and faux feminist for championing women's causes when she has stayed with the biggest loust in recent history. All and all, I don't believe the Clintons will exit gracefully, they want to wound Obama and force Hillary onto the ticket, but after this week, Hillary will be lucky if she is welcomed back to the senate.

Who cares about Puerto Rico at this point in the game, they get to sit down for dinner but they only get to pick an appetizer. They only vote in primaries, with no pickings for the general election. Their votes are pointless in the bigger picture.

Obama 08, all the way to the White House

Charles   May 26th, 2008 11:07 pm ET

A couple of things. First, the media attacks where there is something to attack. Clinton has had more items come up to pounce upon. She has had more slips of the tongue. Her campaign supporters have made more headlines through their words. She has made it easy for the media to stay on her.
Second, Obama has run, despite what so many seem to believe, a very clean campaign. Has he attacked his opponents on their stances? Of course he has. That's what you do in campaign. What he has not done is attack anyone on a personal level. What he has not done is capitalize on the mistakes other candidates have made outside of the issues. When the sniper fire situation came up, he never said word one about it. When Penn was found to be lobbying for trade in Columbia, he gave no comments on her foolish decision to have him around in the first place. It's hard to paint a person as the bad guy when he does nothing that can really be interpreted as bad.
Third, Obama's campaign staff has put together something the media can't attack. His campaign has taken on the most recognizable name in the democratic party. The media, like so many across the world, not just the U.S. can only stand in awe of how David has all but slew Goliath. This is the standard against which all campaigns will now be judged in the future. While other campaigns that ran this season ran on a platform of what they felt America should think, his campaign found out what Americans were truly thinking and addressed those issues. His campaign has been based on what America can do for America, not what he alone can do for us.
You have the chance to become a part of something that will pave a new road for America. To continue to find foolish reasons to hate Obama is only a foolish attempt to keep yourself from achieving a unified America.

Obama '08

Zach   May 26th, 2008 11:07 pm ET

Who gives a crap about Puerto Rico? When they become a state and can actually VOTE in the general election, then we'll worry about their boos.

Marie   May 26th, 2008 11:06 pm ET

sexy, so you really call yourself that….lol, please read your own ignorant post before you insult the education of Hillary Clinton supporters. What is wrong with people who support Obama, why can't you post without insulting people. It's like you're consumed with hate. How are you going to unite the country with all of your ill will. I'm still laughing at your screen name, seriously get over yourself!!

AJ   May 26th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Hillary, I'd like to thank you and your IMPEACHED former President husband Bill for being the best things that ever happened to the Repulicans in 2008.

Bill   May 26th, 2008 11:05 pm ET

Canada and the rest of the world loves Obama. Americans are not the only ones inspired. Americans are going to be on top soon enough. Cowboy foreigh policy is over. You cannot just bomb or attack those who do not share the same values. Bush could be charges as a war criminal. Hillary voted for the War, end of story. Six years on WallMart board is an issue. Which way the wind blows is Hillarys stump speach. Who will show up is always a guessing game. Not exactly the most loving couple……have you noticed. I would like to ask Bill what he thinks of the polygamy case.

Dan (TX)   May 26th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

From the FEDERAL REGISTRY:

Can citizens in U.S. Territories vote for President?

No, the Electoral College system does not provide for residents of U.S. Territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa to vote for President. Unless citizens in U.S. Territories have official residency (domicile) in a U.S. State or the District of Columbia (and vote by absentee ballot or travel to their State to vote), they cannot vote in the Presidential election. Note that prior to the adoption of the 23rd Amendment, DC residents could not vote in the Presidential election.

The political parties may authorize voters in primary elections in Territories to select delegates to represent them at the political party conventions. But that process does not affect the Electoral College system.

Ab-Corpus Christi-TX   May 26th, 2008 11:04 pm ET

I love to have a candidate with no experience !!!
The fact that neither McCain nor Hillary has an experience as President of USA !!
I do not want to have our President going to Mayo clinic just for checking his health every three months…. Wasting our money!
I do not want to have our president where her husband was fouling around during his presidency…..I am afraid she will be revenged for her husband!
Keep in mind that all the politicians are liars!
Choose the candidate that least liar……that's Obama !!
I vote for him………..and the world will be merrier……….

Kevin   May 26th, 2008 11:02 pm ET

I am glad I have an education…If Purto Rico thinks they are not being deceived just to get a vote then so be it….She could care less about you guys. "one million purto ricians support me in new your therefore so should you" wow sounds like your being talked down too or maybe grouped together

Jason, San Diego   May 26th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

I boo Clinton.

Christine D   May 26th, 2008 11:01 pm ET

We are with you all the way Hillary.

EUNICE   May 26th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

Hillary all the way. It is Hillary or McCain. No one else is fit.

Hillary, the only choice. Hillary, the only popular Choice.

DNC and CNN are not getting it yet. That the people want Hillary.

No money in the world will make America to vote for Barrack Hussein Obama. He is a liar and a deceiver. Hillary has the popular votes.

It is Hillary or McCain in '08

It's finally over !   May 26th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

I'll be celebrating over the next few days just thinking about the fact that I wont have to here Bill or see Hillary on a stump speach again.
they should stop trying to conn thier supporters into giving more money in order to pay down her debt.

( she has enough money of her own she should pay it her self, along with the summer gas tax, since she is so concerned about everyone picking up an extra $30.00 this summer)

If she cant manage her own money why would you let her manage yours ???

Sexy   May 26th, 2008 11:00 pm ET

jt the best choice, Barack is smart. why should you debate someone that you have already beaten? That's make no sense…like Hillary reasons to stay in the race doesn't make sense. I guess I have to deal with her for another week, lying and deceiving people who can't think for themselves. Hillary can only win over people with that polygamist mentallity.

bryan   May 26th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

this is a prime example of how a core constinuency of Hillary's will move in the direction of McCain if she is not the democratic nominee. Hispanics do not like Obama and have no interest in hearing his rhetoric

Lori (TX)   May 26th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Since Hillary enjoys campaigning in US territories (not states) – I hear she's trolling for delegates in Mexico next! Ha! :)

mary   May 26th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Hillary says, she has been to Puerto Rico numerous of times why hasn't she done more for the Puerto Rican people. No se puede con Hillary. Es muy mentirosa. Action does, action sees. What has she done?

obama has already one   May 26th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

obama has already won. who cares anymore. just leave Hillary it is nearly mathematically impossible for you to win, and in reality it is impossible for you to win so stop plaguing our party and leave you liar. where is the party unity, 50 percent of you will vote for mccain, what are you stupid, you like iraq, you like being fired from you job, i hope you get laid off when mccain gets elected cas half of you voted for him.

Chris   May 26th, 2008 10:59 pm ET

Hillary will win Puerto Rico. End of story.

Laura   May 26th, 2008 10:58 pm ET

So Suzie, let me get this straight. Puerto Rico has to be an American
territory but shouldn't be able to vote in your primary. How Imperialistic of you. No rights or voice but are a territory….wow.

dl   May 26th, 2008 10:58 pm ET

Thank you Puerto Rico..
Please remember everyone of your votes make a difference..
And Please try to excuse all the ugly comments on this blog.
Hopefully this is not the "new and improved world of Obama.

Dave W.   May 26th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

Clinton and her supporters have decided that if she can't win the White House no democrat will. Her Husband speaks of fthe disrespect she has received from the media and superdelgates, but what about the disrespect he showed her 10 years ago? The Clintons feel that it is their right to be in the Wjite House and nobody better get in theior way. Bill said last week that maybe Chelsea will go into politics. Maybe she can run in 2016 with all of the expierience she has being first child, and the first child landing in Bosnia under sniper fire. There is one questiuon that I have never seen any reporter or debate mediator ask hillary. Why did you sign an agreeement that Michigan and Florida would not count with the other candidates and not stand up for Michigan and Florida in the beginning? She refuses to answer that question.

Bob G.   May 26th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

Not sure why Barry even went to Puerto Rico – he has already won the nomination and general election and is just waiting for the inauguration. On Day 2 he will start his new campaign to become supreme commander in chief of the planet Earth. There is no stopping his enormous ego and arrogance!! Hope he picks an experienced qualified Vice President to run the USA while he's globe trotting.

Manny Rodriquez, Miami   May 26th, 2008 10:57 pm ET

Hispanic people have spoken throughout this whole campaign:

Hillary Si

Obama No

And make no mistake, we are the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S. Adios Obama.

northernview   May 26th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

is it just me or has anyone else noticed the similarity between Ms Clinton's campaign and the Bush war strategy:
1 plan for a short campaign -underestimate what it will take to win
2 redefine "victory" as the situation on the ground changes
3 hope the surge works ( WVA and K )
4 have no exit strategy

Are you guys sure this is the person you want to lead your country?

jenniferaz   May 26th, 2008 10:56 pm ET

carrie sean

"Si se puede!" was stolen by the Obama campaign from the United Farm Workers whose patriarch and American heroine, Dolores Huerta, has tirelessly campaigned for Senator Clinton! Learn your history before tossing out accusations.

More than half or America's democrats have voted for her, why should she leave now? So much could happen between now and August. Why are so many people scared of democracy playing its course? Things can get very frightening if future viable candidates are bullied out before their time, it is not what America should EVER look like.

michelle

Good for you! My positive thoughts will be in DC with you!

Another interested Canadian.   May 26th, 2008 10:55 pm ET

'Anne from Canada', speak for yourself not our entire country. I'm also from Canada and I can honestly say I don't know anyone in my neck of the woods who wants to see the Clintons back in the American White House.

I've been following this election too and everyone I know is rooting for the best candidate to enter American politics in years, Barrack Obama.
He's a breath of fresh air. It seems the millions of Hillary supporters have forgotten the corruption of the Clinton years, especially the controversial pardoning of 16 terrorists, Bill's impeachment, the fact that Hillary stayed with such a patronizing and womanizing husband, as well as plenty of other filthy laundry.

Americans may have forgotten but Canadians haven't. It's nothing to be proud of.

Tired of Everyone   May 26th, 2008 10:55 pm ET

There are a ton of repeat bloggers here and on every article! Really people – get a life! I wonder if some of you are really paid campaign workers since the average person would never have the time to blog in every article like some of you do (with the same crap I must add!).

Go Hillary!

Happy to see the People in Puerto Rico won't let their minds be manipulated.

America Needs Hillary.

There are some serious Reason the majority of the Democrats, and the rest of the country do not want obama.

Karwolo   May 26th, 2008 10:52 pm ET

Wasn't it this same bill clinton who sometimes ago was saying things like you can't put on a jersey to play a game without expecting to get dirty? Now he's crying all over the place about his wife being treated unfairly. Mabye, it's time she got out of the game. Another thing, it's funny how the clintons jumped all over Obama's 'bitter' comments, even making ads and mentioning it on stump speeches as well as getting a bit drunk in the process, but now they don't want Obama to even mention her ploy to have him killed. Imagine what bill would have said if Obama made a statement implying that he wanted
hill-liar killed.
An independent who leans republican but hates the clintons.

Bill   May 26th, 2008 10:52 pm ET

Puerto Rico needs to look hard and long at who Hillary really is. How many examples do we need to see her true colours. We need a leader who can unit our party, unit our country and show the world our new America. Echo of the past is not the step we need to take. Puerto Rico can finance a looser all they want but I hope they are smarter the the rednecks we have here. Hillary will say and do anything to get the vote. I hope Puerto Rico really considers why Obama was away from Puerto Rico. Obama made a speach for a friend, Ted Kennedy. He took time off his campaign schedule to do a friend a favour. Thanks the kind of person I want watching my back. Can you trust Hillary? Do you want her behind your back? When in dougth , through it out.

I hope Puerto Rico vote for a man who has experiences similar to them. Hillary and Bill make over 100 million dollars. Do you think they really understand what it is like to be poor. Hillary worked for WallMart for 6 years against unionization and providing health care benefits for the employees, not to mention treating woman better. She is old school with the old boys club. Time for a change and Puerto Rico can be that change.

I hope Puerto Rico does us proud and understand what has been said by Hillary over the past days.
Bill

Doris,Memphis TN   May 26th, 2008 10:52 pm ET

Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States.
The type of politics that she is involved in is over!
And no Chelsea will not be the first female president either!
Bill don't even think about it.
Good-bye Bill, Hill, and baby girl Chill!

Adrian === Dallas   May 26th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

Its over!!! The sooner clinton supporters realize this the better, the party must unite behind our nominee (Obama). We can not afford a third McCain/Bush term!!

Obama/Richardson 08

AA   May 26th, 2008 10:51 pm ET

I don't actually see it as an insult when people compare Obama with Carter. If you listen to the speech Carter gave over 20 years ago, he described exactly where are today, how we would depend on foreign oil ,our economy and the whole nine yard. And Obama is doint the same thing, trying something better for our children.
It just kills me to see the division between the democrats. If it's not Hillary I vote for McCaine or if not Obama…. I know most Hillary supporters say that but how annoying. Look at the republicans, no matter what, they stick together. They laugh at us! Believe me not all of them like McCaine but guess what, they stick together and ralley behind him. Tthey amaze me. I will never be a republican nor cast my vote just because my candidate didn't make it but I honestly admire their unity. Tell me people why can't we be like that??
Obama 08 if not, Hillary O8

Andres Perez   May 26th, 2008 10:49 pm ET

Puerto Rico has been in the limbo forever. How she thinks to resolve the status quo in PR? When she talks with the people that are against U.S., she was talking in favor of their auto-determination, when she talks before the people who support the statehood then she promised to resolve the issue of Puerto Rico’s status by the end of her first term. She changed the terminology to talk depending of her audience; she used different words that mean nothing so everybody would hear what they want. The Puerto Ricans have the right to auto-determination, but what that means? Are we ready to accept 4 millions of Spanish speaking persons with vote in the Congress? PR has a representative in the U.S. congress but he can’t vote. The Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizen and in some way PR is a state. Are the Puerto Rican blinds? What did Bill Clinton in PR favor? Nothing. What did HRC for PR? Nothing. The Puerto Rican's are proud of their African, Indian, and Spanish heritage so they are suppose to support Obama but who knows. If Obama team work just a litter more in PR with the right persons, and the right message then he will put PR in his pocket. The Puerto Rican's are smart and they love politics so we will see what happen.

Chooch   May 26th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

Real Democrats will vote for the best candidate to run this great nation,. That isn't O'Bummer. I am a democrat. I have been a registered Democrat for over 30 years. I have never cast a vote for anyone, democrat or otherwise that I did not feel was the best person for the position. This election will be no different in that respect. The only difference will be if O'Bummer gets the democratic nomination. I am not ignorant enough to fall for the b.s. He will never get my vote.

lol   May 26th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

you stay in the race hillary, you have over 17 million voter who want you to be the next president. the only reason they want you to drop out is because obama can't beat you. take it to the convention, kennedy took it there, and he was behind over 700 delegates. no one told him to drop out!

yes we can   May 26th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

I have finally figured out what HRC stands for " Your Royal C_NT"

Gilbert PR   May 26th, 2008 10:48 pm ET

The right to vote in the General Elections should be given to all US Citizens regardless of where they live. If we can go to war and die to defend life, liberty and democracy, we should be able to vote for the president.

Sherri   May 26th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

The state officials of Florida and Michigan have disenfranchised their own voters. That is where the beef is. It is not with the candidates. They should all be voted out of office.

The rules were established in August of 2006, the punishment was well known, and all candidates agreed. FL and MI thumbed their noses and proceed with their illegal election. Shame on them.

Obama and Edwards removed their names from the ballot in MI. Clinton did not. How in the world do you fairly seat the Clinton delegates, when the other candidates were not eve represented.

This is a mess. Shame on those who lie about the process now and try to change the rules in midstream.

Sunny   May 26th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

Go Hillary!!! Don't quit! Don't let the sexist CNN or the sexist obama supporters influence your decision!!! Fight on!

Nikki Willis   May 26th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

While it's true that Puerto Rico isn't a U.S. state and therefore does not participate in general elections, MANY Americans of Puerto Rican decent do live in Puerto Rico, and they do VOTE in the general elections. Are you suggesting that their voice shouldn't be heard in the primaries because they are not going to vote for Obama as overwhelming as African Americans? For those who suggest that they are not as American as you, you sound like Bush when being against the war in Iraq was being called unpatriotic.

On the other hand, there isn't a single state holding caucuses in the general election. Why? Because the constitution only gives us one vote each. Obama clearly had an advantage during the primary process as many of his supporters got to vote twice in states such as Texas and Washington, where people can vote in both the primaries and caucuses. Sure, Obama supporters are more vocal, but in a general election, it doesn't matter whose supporters are the loudest, you still get 1 vote each.

Now that's how democracies work.

NY for Obama   May 26th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

I don't understand how HRC supporters say that she's more electable when she can't even run her own campaign. She owes $21M!!! She's run a reckless campaign. Her own people are leaving her.
You can't enter a primary believing that no matter what its gonna be yours anyway…even if you lose. Even if it means changing the rules half way through it, complaining about the media, crying sexist, the men are bullying me. Does this sound like a president? I don't think so.

America Needs Hope   May 26th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

I used to believe in the Clintons, now I'm just plain disappointed. Hil needs to wake up. America doesn't need or want you. Take your hatred and leave us alone. You have set woman in politics back YEARS with all the mean spirited comments that spew from your mouth. I hope she won't even be able to win her senate seat next time. I've lost all respect for Bill as well. Out with the old and in with the new. Please put us out of the misery that is Hilary!

Benjanin,BC   May 26th, 2008 10:46 pm ET

Was it not the Clnton that were saying if Obama could not stand the media heat, he should get out of the kitchen.Now, the Clintons are complaining of cover up and bias. They think the Democratic system is not the best now that she's behind,what bounces of hypocrites.

Hillary is a disgrace to women in politics, I will never vote for her in my lifetime and I know many people who despise her. She is the most polarizing person ever, even Bill is much better. No wonder Bill doesn't like his own wife.

StephenBleeds   May 26th, 2008 10:44 pm ET

Hillary signed a document pledging she agreed that the votes in Mi. and Fla. would not count. Regardless of the fact that the DNC might have made a mistake…she did promise and now she is breaking her promise and pretends to be a person who wants every vote to count. 1. Would she want the same thing if she were ahead and 2. Can we believe a President who breaks their word and then lies about it.?

and these are the "Hillary people" who want her for VP??????? Doesn't make sense and I hope Obama is watching to see that her people don't like him so why would they want her on his ticket??? Obama should pick someone who would support his campaign and his presidency and who would appreciate his support of their VP run.

Becky   May 26th, 2008 10:42 pm ET

Hillary,
You and Bill are so transparent-your greed to return to the White House is appalling. You are exhausting the electorate, spending money you don't have (nor should anyone repay for you), and hurting the Democratic party with unkind and horrible remarks about the eventual nominee of the party. I have been a Clinton fan for a long time, but- you have tarnished the glory of the past by trying to change the rules everyday in this primary season. You are now tarnishing the good will of the Democratic party. Quit. Leave. Go back to the Senate. Don't plan on being VP. You have lost in more ways than you can ever imagine. .

nannie bouroughs, Kenosha, WI   May 26th, 2008 10:41 pm ET

It is so unfortunate that Obama supporters are so ill informed. In FL Obama DID CAMPAIGN! He ran NATIONAL TV ADS TARGETING FL FOR OVER 2 WEEKS!

Now, per DNC rules: A candidate, who campaigns in a state that he/she has promised not to, will be automatically stripped of any delegates from that state.

That’s THE RULE!

Think about that as you look for your Afro-Sheen…

k williams   May 26th, 2008 10:41 pm ET

who cares. we all know that puerto rico are just as racist towards blacks as the clintons.

Debbie   May 26th, 2008 10:41 pm ET

The one big think that Obama's supporters just seem to have a problem with is: They think Hillary supporters don't want to vote for Obama because he is black. What a hang up you Obama supporters have. What is wrong with you people. If you can't find anything else to complain about, you always fall back on 'they don't like Obama because his black', who cares what color he is, seems you guys do. Hillary is just the better nominee, she is who America needs to get us out of this mess we are in. Stop with the uneducated cramp used to describe Hillary supporters. So you out there that just can't get away from the color thing, wake up and stop it. I don't understand your bitterness against Hillary, she has worked her heart out for America all her life, are you Obama supporters prejudice. Sure sounds like it.
I sure hear a lot of negativity used by the Obama supporters. You get so hateful in your remarks. Why? Is this what Obama brings out in his supporters???

Hillary for President

Markemdown   May 26th, 2008 10:40 pm ET

What is not so funny is that the Clinton's prey upon the vulnerable. That is why the entire family spends weeks in isolated communities such as rural areas in the U.S. and maybe even Puerto Rico, so that they can induce fear of that thing that most people fear……A Black Man, in this case, Obama. They create division among the races. Furthermore they use a psyche game to make voters feel sorry for "poor Hillary". She's been disrespected and treated unfairly according to Bill. Could this be he is feeling guilty because he humiliated her with his notorious affair with Monica Lewinsky and then lied about it? He did this under her nose in the white house. How can she protect the U.S.? She couldn't even keep track of Bill. I wonder where Monica's famous blue dress is?

Lara   May 26th, 2008 10:40 pm ET

Brenda from AZ   May 26th, 2008 10:40 pm ET

I am a middle aged white woman who use to be a Clinton supporter, before she started her nasty campaign. I believe that Senator Obama is the right choice. We do need someone different to lead this country. Why not give him a chance? Why are the Clinton supporters saying they are going to vote for McCain if Hillary loses? I cannot believe that they are that 'catty" to vote republican just because their candidate lost. What are they thinking-they would prefer to see more Americans die in Iraq then get behind the man who beat their own candidate? Do they honestly think that Mrs Clinton would have a chance in 2012? Believe me, Obama fans would not forget the desertion this year. She wouldn't have a prayer. I read all these blogs and I am amazed at the hate that is spewed from everyone. If you are a true democrat, please support Senator Obama. The alternative is not best for America.

Dan (TX)   May 26th, 2008 10:40 pm ET

I wonder if Hillary realizes that Peurto Ricans won't be voting in the November general election. Their only influence is in the party primaries.

Hillary just wants Peurto Ricans to help her get the nomination – nothing more.

End Stupidity   May 26th, 2008 10:39 pm ET

Eric… You are doing exactly what hillary supporters do, call Obama "non-patrotic" because he doesnt wear a flag lapel. H*LL, I dont see Hillary and McCain wearing one. Does that make them non-patroic. I guess it does. Grow up!!

minh   May 26th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Hillary or McCain. Obama will never get my vote.

karma will haunt DNC   May 26th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Stephanopoulos called out Axelrod, saying:

“But a member of your press staff, yesterday was sending around to an entire press list, I have the email here, Keith Olbermann’s searing commentary against HC, so that is stirring this up, isn’t it?”

Axelrod responds that as far as the Obama campaign is concerned, the issue is over.

(Straight to the “Distract” followed, presumably, to the “Draw Away.” This guy is a pro.)

Here’s a question:

If your campaign is so strong, why are you sending out copies of Keith Olbermann? If you have said this matter is “over,” why are you continuing to send copies of Keith Olbermann? Is the Obama campaign just flat out of ideas?

BRIAN   May 26th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

don't "boo" obama. they're both great. whoever wins, VOTE FOR THEM

The truth   May 26th, 2008 10:38 pm ET

Hillary must have found new contributors in Puerto Rico that don't know any better. She only stuck around for the money, she's broke and needed money to get back home.

GO OBAMA 08

karma will haunt obama   May 26th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

But according to Obama supporters Obama has no control over his staff. That’s why the Keith Olbermann info was distributed. Does that include his WH staff when he becomes president?

Also, remember that national polling wasn’t pitting Clinton against Obama?

Well now there’s a Gallop poll that shows Obama as the preferred nominee for the Democratic nomination.

But not so fast.

But the same poll shows Clinton beating McCain, nationwide by a better margin than Obama.

So the Democrats prefer to nominate a candidate that may or may not win within the margin of error over one that wins without the margin of error – Clinton.

What did we pro-Clinton people discuss today? Polls and the lack of reporting.

How much do you want to bet they’ll report the poll that shows the Democratic preference is Obama. Not the poll that shows Hillary beating McCain by a wider margin

NY for Obama   May 26th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Hey Belle, Hillary agreed to the DNC rules just like everybody else and didn't mind that she was signing an agreement to disenfranchise two states. It wasn't until she needed them that she wanted them counted. The fact is that Hillary walked around with a chip on her shoulder believing that she was gonna have this race wrapped up by feb 5. She didn't have a plan for after this date and this is why she finds herself in the situation she's in. Blaming everybody and their mother. Her only wish now is that something happens to Obama.
I can't believe that you Clinton supporters will keep on supporting her no matter what she says. Have you all lost your morals?

NO OBAMA   May 26th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Obama sucks big time.

Shannon   May 26th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

Barbara in CA, are you insane, just wondering!

patrick   May 26th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

@ Georgia,

how do you figure Hilary understands the people of Puerto Rico,let alone the island itself?

Atleast Barack was able to show some rythym while he was there campaigning, only thing Hilary could sing to the beat was "Si se puede"….Go figure!

Jane FL   May 26th, 2008 10:36 pm ET

see a case Paul vs Clinton. They are both liar. Bill respect yourself and pick your wife and go back to NY.

J   May 26th, 2008 10:34 pm ET

Well, some good has come from this election.

At least now we know where all the idiots are.

Obama '08

Joan Q.   May 26th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

I am disgusted by the majority of comments that I read here. All you people do is attack each other's candidate and make nasty comments about some personal aspect of one of the candidates. Support whoever gets the nomination and get over it. Remember…it's not Obama vs. Clinton….it's Democrats vs. McCain!

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 26th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

Anne from Canada,

Guess what? HILLARY IS PART AND PARCEL OF THE OLD STUFF, and yes I agree with you, you do have to clean out the old stuff, in order to make a place for the new!

Chooch   May 26th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

The media, of which CNN is included, have reported on several occasions that O'Bummer supporters are younger college educated people. In contrast the media, again to include CNN, has also stated that Clinton supporters were older and less educated. I say that the media, to include CNN is the real liar in this matter. Evidence is how illiterate the comments are from the O'bummer supporters. For crying out loud, these people do not even know how to use the varying forms of the word "to". Also it is a fact that ignorant people are easier to control and to dupe, so rant on O'Bummer supporters. Lastly, O'Bummer will never be elected in the General Election. There are too many people that will vote that see the truth. Most of us are not like the herd of cows O'Bummer is leading through the pasture of b.s.

patrick   May 26th, 2008 10:32 pm ET

@ Belle,

your ignorant and proofless comments make me want to vomit. How in the hell is Obama to blame for Hilary destroying her campaign??

Take a few dayz if you need to to think about this one?

Marcus   May 26th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

What I find funny about all these posts is the Latino support of Hillary. I know most of these posts are made by Mexicans and not people of the Caribbean. Just a side bar 80% of Puerto Ricans have African ancestary. See Wikipedia. The Caribbean islands…….. like most of them consist of people who are called " Hispanic" but their ancestors are from Africa: Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Trindad and Tobago. That's why the polls can't accurately guage the "Latino" voters. I doubt she'll win by double digits that's very unrealistic considering Puerto Ricans so closely identify with African American culture. Besides the polls are only counting those who have the money to have purchased phones and they are only counting land lines. Most Puerto Ricans are poor and don't spend so much time at home. I can't wait to see these Hillary supporters spin this when Hillary is crushed in a U.S. territory.
She's spending so much time slicing and dicing people because she's so unpopular that she has not appropriately sliced and diced the Latino community. Every Latino is not brown and Mexican. Latinos are: black, white, asian….anyone living in Latin America.

cpljoeb from NC   May 26th, 2008 10:31 pm ET

Here we go…stop fighting amongst each other, your worse than CHILDREN. This election is over. The winner is GOD, he knows all, he knows who the winner is and whoever that person he wants in will win, no matter what we post here or what the polls say. So go ahead and make fools of yourselvers because it is his will and his way.

patrick   May 26th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

Well the last poll had her up by 13% in Puerto Rico….

Boriquen, as a fellow islander i plead to you to give the vote to Barack Obama.

Who better can understand your plights and struggles other than another person of island heritage??

The only thing Hilary will remember is No se puede after you give her the vote and wait for results.

Billy   May 26th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

"…although there was some debate among reporters whether she stumbled over the word “podemos.”"

Really? Are you serious? Is that the best you can report? I think some 'reporters' need to get lives and start thinking about other issues (oh, maybe their own!), not whether someone can pronounce a word precisely from another language.

Tom Borger   May 26th, 2008 10:29 pm ET

"Si se puede" was co-opted by Obama supporters? Are you kidding me? Si se puede means "Yes We Can" in Spanish. It was "co-opted" by Hillary supporters who are depressed they didn't have David Axelrod to come up with a catchy slogan of their own.

Aravind Sloan   May 26th, 2008 10:28 pm ET

To tell you the truth, neither of the candidates running are good candidates. We have to pick the lesser of the two evils. Who has more electablity against the McCain? Second, we have to look at the social construct of this country. America is not ready for a female president, nor is it ready for a president of color. Who ever wins the nomination has to defeat the republicans. Does it matter if it is Clinton or Obama? All we need is a democrat in office. I for one can not take another four years of Republican domination in America. Its just sicken how they have ran this country down.

peggyledbetter   May 26th, 2008 10:28 pm ET

Hillary is a loser! My friends in California said they need to recount the votes there….because Hillary owe lots of money to the Colleges there which she left behind a large sum of debt. How in the world can she answer a phone at 3:00am, when she can't answer debt collector calls in California and pay the outstanding balances owed. Bill the next time you open your mouth to say their picking on my wife??? Just shut up and start writing those past due bills out!!!!!!!

carmen   May 26th, 2008 10:28 pm ET

FYI – Carrie Sean Si se puede was stolen from the hispanics, they chant this during immigration marches, {obama is not intitled to everything its a universal chant. but of course obama supporters think they own the world. because they are guilted into voting for a fraud! the truth will be revealed 5 days before the convention, OBAMA THE FRAUD WAIT AND SEE!!!!

Woman for Obama   May 26th, 2008 10:27 pm ET

Clinton supporter – you are the dummie. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States and not a state. They can not vote in the general election!

Woman for Obama   May 26th, 2008 10:27 pm ET

Its funny how Sen. Clinton can stir up mess, but Obama gets labeled as divisive. I formally supported Clinton, but I am so disappointed at the way she has run her campaign. She seems to be a really horrible person

C Spurgeon   May 26th, 2008 10:27 pm ET

Don't bother moderating my comments. I am not interested in participating in this kind of atmosphere.

WHO really CARES!!!

Puerto Rico cant vote in the General elections anyways.

Do the people over there even know that the primary race is OVER.

If i was Barack i would have gone over there too great vacation spot

and spot and good beaches.

lilacs   May 26th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

I have been a democract for 40years,and I will not vote for obama in Novermber, but I will never vote for a repug either so I will do a write-in vote! Anyone that is for Hillary and don"t want Obama or dont really want to vote for mccain,write-in your choice.

Susan   May 26th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

My favorite part of the weekend news: Barack Obama just keeps moving on, like Hillary Clinton doesn't exist.

I give his campaign so much credit after the horrific statements HRC made Friday, then the ludicrous statements made by Mr. McAuliffe, and the knee-deep stuff Bill Clinton is spreading about respect.

Keep going, Barack! You are on your way. Let the Clintons and their surrogates scurry around like a bunch of bugs. They'll all be gone in a couple of weeks.

James   May 26th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

Keep going for NOTHING. You have lost the race. I am so glad you will not get to use our hard earned tax money to pay off your debt of over 20 million since you wont be the nominee. Hopefully you can run for the office again in 2016. You might be almost 70 years old by then.

Amy   May 26th, 2008 10:26 pm ET

Does anyone in Puerto Rico really believe she cares about them? She's there for votes that come the general election won't matter because Puerto Rico can't vote in the general election. Hillary knows this. She's saying what they want to hear so she can get the primary and then after she suckers them into voting for her she'll never give them a second thought.

Penny Leonard   May 26th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

As a Registered Republican, Tell Hillary Clinton, we are going to investigate and publish the CLINTON BODY COUNT and bring up the Bosnia Video Sniper Tape. We hope she gets on the VP Ticket with Obama. We are going to EXPOSE EVERYTHING on the Clinton Past We are prepared to EXPOSE the COMPARRISON of ALL the people who have died working for the CLINTONS over 50 people. No other President has had this many people commit suicide or been murdered as the CLINTONS. THIS expose will be published the minute she is put on the VP ticket. Not even in the next election will she EVER BE allowed to be PRESIDENT. FORWARD this email on to Hillary..

Go Obama '08

HANEEFAH   May 26th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

wowee zowee, she just does not get it. The Clintons are destroyers, they are liers, they are cheaters. Bosnia, Paul vs Clintons, The Clinton Library, Small States Caucuses are not important, now they are, not allowing FL and MI count was OK to her before she started losing. The people that are so gaga over the Clintons cannot see that she is telling them the very tall tail and they are the pide piper blowing doo doo up their noses and they cannot smell it. They have snookered many people. They are only for themselves and no one else. She wants to show Bill that she is better than him and he just needs a room for his farting around with women. She is akin to the devil and so is her husband.

CDUB   May 26th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

And for the record, Puerto Rico can not vote in the general election. Again READ, do some research, my an intelligent decision! Wow.

BJ   May 26th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

They booed and she smiles her sinister smile. Who cares. One more exploitation of the ones who don't know any better. Soon it will be over and she can smile at her husband in her own home. Thank goodness-HE-is still on the throne.

Rafe   May 26th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

That's okay, Hillary will get booed by her own colleagues upon her return to the Senate. Her campaign and her behavior have been a total disgrace.

Anne from Canada   May 26th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

WOW I can't believe how venimous OBAMA supporters are on this board. Oh yea! he attracts the young generation that won't even bother to vote in November. they will have long moved on to another FAB. IT's great that a lot of young people are interested in politics this time and a lot of them are smart, but a lot of them don't know beans and are just following the cool event "du jour".

OBAMA claims he will move away from OLD politics. What a naive thing to say. The old politicians are all circling around him to influence him and rule by proxy. Obama will have to rely on the likes of Richardson for advises and othe cronies. Gees! It looks like either way if it's Obama or McCain, it will be another 4 years of Bush.

Do the right thing

Pat   May 26th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

That's funny, Obama crowds have been booing Clinton for months, but it doesn't merit an article on CNN.

marzxyz   May 26th, 2008 10:22 pm ET

The downright nastiness, nay, ugliness, of Obama's supporters toward Hillary has been duly noted by Hillary's supporters. It will cost Obama 25-30% of the votes from Hillary's supporters. As a result, prepare yourselves for a McCain presidency. On the plus side, Democrats will enjoy comfortable majorities in the Senate and House.

Terry   May 26th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

All these Obama supporters are so nasty. I bet come November if he is the Democratic nominee and loses(which we will), the Obama supporters will try to blame Hillary for him losing. Us Hillary supporters have been saying all along "No, He Can't!". They're the ones who chose a candidate to win a primary yet didn't think hard enough to see that he can't win in November. Silly Koolaid drinkers. Only one you will have to blame is yourself for voting for an unelectrable candidate.

Laura   May 26th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Barack Obama has been nothing but respectful of Sen Clinton. I guess Sen Clinton does not understand "do unto others….". That shows a lot about her character or lack thereof.

gary   May 26th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Just when did Obama win the nomination? You people act like the popular vote doesn't even count! Yes he's strong-arming the supers, and he may eventually get the nomination, but it will still look a little shady if she has the popular vote and that's ignored. We all learned in 2000 that it's imperative to COUNT ALL THE VOTES – Gore won the popular vote but Bush was SELECTED. Obama isn't nearly as popular as his followers would have people think – that's a fact. But now he is trying to be SELECTED before ALL the people vote!

R. Brown   May 26th, 2008 10:21 pm ET

Hillary offers snake juice to the innocent people of PR.

Don't drink the snake juice Hillary is offering, it's apart of her traveling gimmick road trip.

Hillary, how's your IMPEACHED husband?

CDUB   May 26th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter but what I am first is real and fair. Why can't Hillary play by the rules she agreed to in the first place? Trust me, she never thought she would be in this position when this first began. If the shoes were on the other foot she would be screaming Obama agreed to this therefore why change the rules. I'm disgusted by the tactics of the Clintons. It really seems they will do, say, not to mention act anyway to get what they want or what they feel is owed to them. I find it even more disturbing that she seems to have a cult following. Her supporters seem to care as much about the Dem. party as she does. How can you defend her campaign stating Hillary first, the party second. People, its about the party! And for those who state they will vote Republican or not vote at all if their desired nominee doesnt get the nomination, shame on you. Thats just ignorant not to mention insulting. Take the time to read their positions and you'll find they're not that different. Again, its about the party, unless you want another 4 years of hell.

Ilona Proud Canadian   May 26th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

Sen. Clinton,

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease take your husband, and your daughter (if she does not have a life of her own) and go far, far, far away in to retirement, you most definitely have the money to do so. Please stop lying and misspeaking and dodging sniper fire and just get out of politics.

jr   May 26th, 2008 10:20 pm ET

Hilary
I have come to the conclusion that you have completely lost your mind. You have divided the party for your own personal gain. You have made statements that I am sure if Obama would have said…ALL the media would have jumped on it like flies on honey and reported it for WEEKS!!!…You have no shame…At one time I would have considered voting for you, but I would not vote for you after the way you have run your campaign. It has been, outrageous, insensitive, devisive, greedy and downright sick. You want to make SURE that if you do not get the nomination, Barack does not win, so you can run again in 2012. Myself and a lot of people are not fooled by your antics….It's too bad that many of your supporters do not see you for what you really are.
You are just like your husband,,,greedy for power and control and will DO or SAY ANYTHING to get. it. TRUTH always reveal itself. The TRUTH has been revealed about you. Out of the mouth speaketh the heart…….

McCain's a FLIPFLOPPER….

GO OBAMA!

Here is something to ponder: what is more stupid, the average post up here or the person actually reading them? Obama is black, therefore he can't be president.

monicamexico   May 26th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

So first they shout Obama's phrase – Si se puede – then they talk about voting on June 1? Yikes. Sounds like PR is confused.

Didn't Bill pardon a bunch of Puerto Ricans before he left office?

Laidetea   May 26th, 2008 10:14 pm ET

Obama only needs like 46 or 47 delegates now to be nominated. By that time more superdelegates will endorse him before May 31st. I think Hillary knows its time but she in denial. Bill says she can still win the race….well Bill, either you know something america doesn't know or you are planning something to happen to Obama. Hillary put the word out there….people can read between the lines.

As if the Clinton couldn't go any lower than that.

Al   May 26th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

Does anyone know where Hillary's hometown is on Puerto Rico? No average hard working white person ever had so many homes. There is no greater coward than someone who doesn't have the guts to the truth. Now she is blaming Senator Obama for her stupid death threat. If your Congressperson has not shown the guts to make a choice, remind him/her that they have to be re-elected. I hope PR shows the dunce who encouraged people to boo Senator Obama the door. Unions vote for their reps too.

Ohioans for Obama!!

Real Democrats will vote in November for Senator Obama fake Democrats should just change Party affiliation for good if you keep telling the real Democrats that if Hillary is not the nominee you are voting Republican for McCain .
Go ahead do it but change your party affiliation before you do become a turncoat. We do not need you to win .
America wants change and America will have change in a positive way with Obama as President .

All this talk about Chelsea Clinton being "presidential material?" That absolutely is the most stupid idea I have ever seen or heard! How on earth is she supposed to have enough experience when all she did was be protected by the Secret Service which she called "Pigs" and act like a spoiled teen ager while her parents manipulated people in Washington for eight years.

Where is this vast experience that Chelsea is supposed to have to be qualified to run for the giant job of being President of the United States,……you people of the Democratic party are delusioned for sure….as delusioned as both Bill and Hillary Clinton for thinking she has the qualifications to run for President, she is not honest, she does not care about the people, and for God sakes, she can't even be a proper diplomat, for God's sake! WAKE UP VOTERS!!!!!

Clinton will not stop!!

Mike   May 26th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

I am a Hillary supporter and Bill supporter and hope the Clintons become President again. It is Hillary's turn, she is a woman, and she will win the popular vote because she cares about Fl and Mi, and the only reason she did not want their votes to count at the beginning was because she did not think the election would last this long and be this difficult.

Go Bill and Hillary — you are honest and we trust you!!!

Joyce Buckman   May 26th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

Thanks for continuing Hillary. The race is not over until it is over! Americans love a fighter and you have tenacity. We need that in a President.

Redbug-OH FOR OBAMA   May 26th, 2008 10:06 pm ET

bilary needs to give it a rest. Now her husband is saying there is a cover up and if his wife is not the nominee the Democrats will lose in November. They just can't stand the fact that she is losing and isnt going to be the nominee. Plz for the sake of the party, stop and think about the party. This is just a desperate attempt to stay in the race. At this point she is just becoming a big joke and making a mess of everything. Yes I would like to see a woman prez, but you are not that woman.

A Puerto Rico primary. What a hoot. As though anybody gives a crap what Puerto Rico thinks about anything except the $27million a day it gets to suck from the Federal teat…
As a lifelong Democrat, I have to say that this demonstrates incontrovertibly the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the party. As though I needed anything more, the travesty of the inevitable loss this November when it should be a landslide in both the Congressional and Presidential elections, will put them into permanent minority status for the rest of the century. Too bad for the rest of us that need a little rebalancing of the scales.

ME4O   May 26th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Does everyone who can speak well and show a self-confidence come across as pompous to you Hillary supporters? Of course most women want Hillary just to say "aha,gotcha, I am woman,hear me roar!" And of course all southern rednecks want her.Their racist.You all twist reality in your head because of biased stances.No I'm not elitist or high-income.Just someone who knows a liar when they see one.

F. R. Haurand Jr.   May 26th, 2008 10:04 pm ET

Terry McAuliffe to Carl Levin when Levin said that Michigan was going to violate the DNC rules and move its convention. Levin had said, "You won't deny us seats at the convention."

McAuliffe, "Carl, take it to the bank. They will not get a credential. The closest they'll get will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules. If you want to call my bluff, Carl, you go ahead and do it."

From the book, "What a Party" by Terry McAuliffe

Eric   May 26th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

So what that Obama was booed at a Clinton rally. Clinton has been booed by Obama supporters at Democratic Party dinners and her supporters have been booed as well. The Obama supporters are a lot worse when it comes to this than the Clinton people are.

Trevis   May 26th, 2008 10:02 pm ET

It's over. BaRock the Vote. Barack do not take Clinton as VP either.

Louis   May 26th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

All Hillary supporters who keep saying they wont vote for Obama during the fall, keep your votes. We don't need them. What make you think he cant win without you?

Nobody's going to beg you to cast your vote for him. You know why? He would win and that means you would be losing out on a great opportunity to be relevant in the scheme of things.

Being on the losing side has it's consequences in life. It means losing out in other aspects of life too. You have to be careful about what you wish for yourselves.

Malcolm-Alabama   May 26th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

Funny to hear the uninformed suggesting that the DNC is in the tank for Obama over Clinton whereas, it was and has always been the reverse. Bill Clinton was the last Democrat for president so it stands to reason that his people populate the ranks of the DNC. It was Clinton folks like Harold Ickes who helped craft the rules that stripped MI and FL of their delegates. Hillary Clinton was termed the "inevitable" candidate this time last year because she had the highest standing in the Democratic party establishment because of her husband.
But her hubris and apparent lack of leadership ability has shown through in how she's run her campaign, enabling a previously unknown named Barack Obama to give her a healthy challenge. One thing Hillary Clinton supporters can not deny is Obama's campaign has been much more disciplined and effective, has had no turn-over in key campaign ranks, has properly managed its finances, versus the circus that is Hillary Clinton's campaign, surprising considering her "experience" should have got her a better campaign staff.
My warning to the Democrats is don't make the mistake that the Republicans made 8 years ago when they went with George W Bush, the "establishment candidate" thanks to his father being the previous Republican president, overlooking much better candidates than John McCain at the time. Learn from others' mistakes!! Barack Obama is winning this contest fair and square and he deserves the Democratic party nomination.

DemocracyNow2008   May 26th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

Keep on yelling but the math says its over after June 3rd and Senator its time to support Senator Barack Obama the persumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.
Let go of the ego and unite to defeat McBush.
Obama 08

Objective Democrat   May 26th, 2008 10:01 pm ET

Just like she's trying to change the rules of the nomination process in the middle of the game… she's also planning to change our constitution already… by pandering to the Puerto Ricans…

I do think Obama should try to go back to PR though.

Also, anyone who plans to vote for Mccain instead of Obama or Clinton should rethink that move. Let's vote on issues. Mccain's stand on the issues is 180 degrees away from both Obama and Clinton so if you are truly patriotic and love America .. Please don't let your anger get the best of you so much that you vote for a third term of Bush.

Obama or Clinton 08′

Hello! Puerto Ricans CAN vote in the general election, dummies.

NO THEY CANT….WHAT ARE YOU DRINKING??

Michelle   May 26th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

Some of you are so disrespectful. Have some consideration for other's beliefs. Just because I'm a supporter of Clinton, Obama, or McCain doesn't make me uneducated, dumb, or stupid. It means I have an individual thought and a personal opinion. At least I can actually back up my beliefs with some sort of reasoning.

And have some respect for your fellow man and woman. Instead of pushing each other away, you should be a little more dignified so we can work together for our one common cause – to put the best possible person in office.

So, with that being said – go, America!

rashid cali   May 26th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

I just have to say I hope hillary can when the general election with those and I quote hard working white voters cus I know a lot of hard working blacks spanish chinese etc who will not vote for someone who thinks only hard working white people vote really counts

BJ   May 26th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

They should count the votes when they have a fair and unbiased election. Only in America can they tell you to play fair and follow the rules. That is until the Clintons start to whine that they have been cheated. The votes in Michigan can most certainly not be counted in her favor. That would be akin to throwing dirt in the opposite players face to blind them so that they can't see you heading for the finish line. Does she really think that we are that dumb. Talk about being out of touch. And she is also an elitist because she does not think that the rules apply to her because she is a Clinton.

petermas   May 26th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

The DNC or how to lose a presidential election originally given for sure.

The mud slinging toward Hillary, the racial bias of the african American electorate, the serious electability issues with Obama, the Florida and Michigan issue, just to mention some, have turned too many people's opinions around. I am afraid McCain at this point appears a very good alternative to many.

Linda, Chandler AZ   May 26th, 2008 9:57 pm ET

The longer she stays in this, the worse it gets. She and her husband are shameless….and so is CNN pandering to them. If she continues this charade, I guess she'd better become and Indepent, as her followers are suggesting…because there won't be any self-respecting Democrat left who'll want anything to do with her. God Bless Barack Obama.

Sexy   May 26th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Dmitriy, at least Michelle Obama doesn't have many pending investigations and a campaign fraud trial that she has to answer for. All of you Hillary's Clinton faniacs, she may have to go the jail for perjury, campaign fraud, and filing false FEC reports. She has also been accused of rigging the election when she won her senate seat but Eliott Spitzer covered it up for her. Now look where he is since he has been busted. It is only a matter of time before the Clintons are finally busted. You try to talk about Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton has done far more worse than she has and you have the gall to support that criminal minded woman.

Obama   May 26th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Will all clinton supporters please do the following

1. Google Paul vs Clinton
2. Understand that Obama is 1/2white and 1/2black raised by whites and asians

And will all Clinton/Mabus supporters

1. please learn about the campaign scandals and lobbiest that surround your candidate before throwing rocks at the other two.

2. look at Mabus policies on womens rights and the directions he'd like to take this country and it's economy.

And will all Obama supporters

1. keep up the unity of the democratic party by sending in encouragement to all democrats.

2. Understand the truths behind the message of HOPE

I'm am as tired of this whole thing as the rest of us… lets vote for the candidate with the most integrity and the one with the least amount of scandal in '08

Louis   May 26th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Hillary is very strong in the state of denial as Joe Leno put it. Also, anytime the 3 am phone rings, you bet its the revenue agency calling Hillary. I hope she would be on hand to take the call. Loser!

Teresa W. of Newport Bch, CA   May 26th, 2008 9:56 pm ET

Hillary has called for a debate twice and Obama pretty much ignored her. He's going to nominee whether she accepts it or not. He is very busy fighting the GOP and McCain now. He doesn't even acknowledge Clinton since the RFK statement. Obama has beefed up his security since then. The Clintons have managed to show the entire globe that they cannot be trusted. In the future to come if Chelsea choose to run for any political office she would be cursed with the failure of her parents political careers. That is so sad.

JayPe   May 26th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

Belle, what are you on?

The DNC did not "allow states to move up that supported Obama" – Nevada was moved up, that was expected to be good for Clinton (hispanics) & Edwards (unions), remember? And Iowa has always been first in the nation.

At the start of the campaign the DNC was supposed to be the establishement, and the establishment was for Hillary. The fact that she has lost is an indication of how the VOTERS of the majority of the states have gone against the establishment, and the establishment has been led by them to start to support Obama.

Furthermore, the Obama campaign has been run with distinctly more skill than the Clinton campaign, as is already well documented. But your comment sounds like it is written by a disaffected member of the Clinton campaign, so you probably already know that.

Eric   May 26th, 2008 9:55 pm ET

CHARLES……..YOU ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HOW OBAMA SUPPORTERS TWIST WHAT EVER THEY HEAR OR READ IN THE MEDIA TO REFLECT HILLARY AS VINDICTIVE. WHY DON'T YOU READ THE ARTICLE CAREFULLY BEFORE STICKING YOUR FOOT IN YOUR MOUTH. THE ARTICLE SAYS THAT AFSCME PRESIDENT GERALD McENTEE SAID "OBAMA WAS HERE TWICE AND LEFT". HILLARY DID NOT SAY IT! SO STOP TRYING TO SPIN YOUR LIES IN FAVOR OF THE NON-PATRIOTIC, INEXPERIENCED, EMPTY SUIT, CHURCH PREACHER OBAMA!

Suziku   May 26th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

Sara   May 26th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

Hillary is going to take the nominee – thank you, Obama for your own studipity anf the Ego trip you are on! – Just lost my vote! Won't vote for Hillary or McCain!

What if?   May 26th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

Hillary, Hillary, Hillary she will say or do anything to win a vote, even bully and remind Puerto Rico voters that she represents an estimated one million Puerto Ricans in New York. Please Puerto Rico voters, ask her to show proof in writing that this is a legal claim not just another lie. Hillary bragged about her most important voters were her hard working WHITE voters, nothing was said about you the Puerto Rico voters until now.

Yep, she cares more and understand you better especially when she want to bully you to vote for her, Bill left that part out. Please do not make the same mistake that happen with Bush. Please be smart and read some of the comments from other New York voters, they remember her many promises before being elected as their senator.

Bill already stated that “Nothing would symbolize her commitment more than this victory” on June 1. I have never heard her say anything about how important your Puerto Rico votes are to her. Yea, right, Bill we have heard that same line before, she just adjust the speech to include the states she is begging to vote for her.

President Gerald McEntee be honest with yourself and your voters, do you really think Hillary would have stayed the length of time she did in Puerto Rico if she was winning for the nominee? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee Please do not make the same mistake we did with Bush.

Hillary you have fought a good fight so far and I hope that you don't give up now. You have the poise, good communication, nice to the people and if need be get to there level, sitting at the cafe and talking and sitting in homes and talking shows how humble you are. CNN have not treated you right at all==they have covered OB and McCain and seem to push you to the side. I get so tired of Blitzer I could scream, with all his pushing OB., maybe he wants to be VP for OB, the problem is he will not win-YOU ARE THE ONE FOR THE WINNING TICKET! It will come down to you an McCain. OB is so rude and you have not made any statement that the citizens of my age understand, those who don't shows that they were not born yet. It kills me to hear OB talk about the war and what he is going to do when he never served in any branch of the service. He could have joined, he loves talking about his grandfather and also how he grew up with a single mother. He is not the only one that had hard times coming up but we don't air our laundry in public. JUST DON'T GIVE UP, I WORKED FOR YOU IN NC AND YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. you have votes here, it is beyond me why you did not carry this state, but we shall see in Nov. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AS YOU CONTINUE YOUR HARD WORK.WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO BE IN WASHINGTON WHEN YOU ARE SWORN IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me get this straight…. The only way Hillary Clinton wins the popular vote count is by excluding all caucus states, and including Puerto Rico which cannot vote in the general election.

Listen, there is no reason to to vote McCain if you're Hillary-supporting democrat and she doesn't get the nomination. That's foolish. Even Hillary said as much.

Why on earth would you be so completely lacking in common sense as to feel that way. It honestly makes no sense.

Obama and Clinton don't differ a whole lot — at least compared to McCain. So, don't be foolish. Stick with whoever is nominated.

I really really really don't like Hillary, personally, but if she was given the nomination, I'd vote for her. I mean, really… McCain!??!?!?! That's just stupid talk.

Indiana voter   May 26th, 2008 9:51 pm ET

More people support Clinton than they do Obama for president. This is quite simply because she is teh stronger, more qulaified candidate.
.
Obama supporters are louder and more raucus becuase they're running on emotion rather than reason. Ask anyone of them what Obama has done in the Senate that gives them reason to believe he's a good choice and they can't tell you — because there is nothing in his record to support that….
.
Hillary could've taken a lucrative position out of Yale law school but instead worked for Child Srevices. She was working for the people before Obama was old enough to vote.
,
The idiocy of the calls for her to quit is the same brainless puddiness that got GW Bush elected to a 2nd term.

reason   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

It's a shame that you may have grown adults who think they know every thing. when all is said and done we will see who will be the nominee this fall i wish bad for know one in this campaign. and when will people get it through there thick heads Florida and michigan move there states up in the primary when they were told the pently for doing so. now people want to blame obama and the DNC for the mistake that those states have made. the people in those states should vote out those elected officials that took the chance and lost when all of this first started no one would have gave barak a chance hillary was so confident that she would win because of her husband that goes to show you the power of change. now to break it down for the people who think that we owe the clintons our vote is doing the old slave master trick, we treat you good and then you turn your backs on us that is a sick way of thinking Wake up America and god bless the men and women who have served our country united we stand and divided we fall let's unite so i wouldn't have to see another brother in arms die over a war that should not have never been waged OH-RAH

ME4O   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

I don't understand these people like belle who want to blame the DNC and Obama for this mess.I have been to both candidates websites and I see no animosity towards Clinton.It is Cl;inton's campaign that has tried to smear Obama's statement and it is she who has been caught lying.Obama and his lawyers can in no way make the DNC do anything.All I can figure of these people who make these false statements is racism(no, I'm not black). B. Clinton was a liar and a cheat in the white house(though at the time I liked him) and Hillary is a liar and a cheat now(no, I don't like a woman who stays with a philandering husband. what kind of things will she let other countries get away with and not do anything?) Hillary is a weak, shameless, unstable, egotisical candidate who needs to go now!!!

CJ   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Clinton has them eating out of her hands! Where is Obma in New Mexico instead of campaigning in Puerto Rico. He isn't the president or nominee yet. He would of sewed up Ruerto Rico but instead chose to not to. He will be his own down fall now! What a idiot!

Xavier   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Way I understand it, Puerto Rico cant vote during the general elections. That being the case, how does it matter who gets the most delegates in that Primary? She should focuse on Montana and South Dakota, two states that do count in the general.

“Empty Suit Syndrome”   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Obama suffers from the “Empty Suit Syndrome”

On Friday Barack Obama spelled out his Latin America policy [snip]:
Since the Bush Administration launched a misguided war in Iraq, its policy in the Americas has been negligent toward our friends, ineffective with our adversaries, disinterested in the challenges that matter in peoples’ lives, and incapable of advancing our interests in the region.
No wonder, then, that demagogues like Hugo Chavez have stepped into this vacuum.
This is pathetic. Hugo Chavez came to power during the Clinton Administration, and was first elected President of Venezuela in 1998, two years before the Bush Administration took office.

Obama '08   May 26th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

I love the popular vote arguement espeically when Hillary talks about disenfranchising voters because her argument works only if she believes that 0 people in MI would vote for Obama. If it is reasonable that atleast the 20K people who showed up for his rally a couple weeks ago would show up to vote for Obama, he would need only 34K more MI votes to hold the popular vote.

Putting it sanely….. Obama doesn't want to give the votes as they are because he knows its bad for him.
Hillary doesn't want a revote because she knows he'll do better and her popular vote argument will be out the window.

Hillary's putting all her eggs in a territory that can't vote in the Nov. to help her make her argument.

Nina   May 26th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

4 yrs ago, 51% of this great country proved by their votes to be incompetent. Led by fear, and the media, to elect arguably the worst president in our history.
The 49% of us with brains just couldn't manage to get through the hypnotized minds of the weak. I am daily in tears to see it happen again. All I see in Senator Obama is someone with great charisma – he'd make a great Secretary of State with more experience. I wonder if the reason the younger generation are the Obamaites more than the older is because you've been so programmed to only accept the new, and to feel the old are simply to be thrown away. Things have changed so much in the past 20 years you wouldn't have anything else to judge by than the latest… everything.. technology has changed that and your way of thinking. The world in general and the US in particular was in far better shape during the Clinton years than any other time in the past 30 years. I find it sad you are more influenced by charisma than history.. but with our educational system… perhaps I should not be. Please listen, just this once, to the majority of your elders and respect we know what is best.

the new “liberal” normal: Sexism is okay.   May 26th, 2008 9:47 pm ET

Keith Olbermann is a sick, morally depraved, imbecile. Friday he unleashed his bottomless pit of snot on Senator Clinton yet again. This time it was about Clinton’s remarks regarding long campaigns and RFK. Not that it matters. If she had said “I shop at Safeway” K.O. would have unloaded – provided he’d gotten the cue from his Obama Overlords. Olbermann is a joke and hardly worth a remark – except to point out what has not merited a Special Comment from the Rancid One in the past 6 months:

Obama calling female reporters “sweetie”

Obama’s 20 year stint in a church in which the pastor dry humps the pulpit.

David Schuter’s “pimping out” Chelsea remark.

Chris “my legs are tingling” Matthews comment that Hillary Clinton is only a senator because her husband cheated. A remark both wildly sexist and utterly, indefensibly false.

An Obama aid calling the former First Lady a monster.

Obama’s throwing the bird to a sitting U.S. Senator

Obama is so vunerable politically, the repubs will have a cakewalk with him.

breanna   May 26th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

obama will not become the president. it doesnt matter if he gets the nomination and it doesnt matter what other "stuff" gets found out about him. the people of these US OVERWELMINGLY voted for hillary and they will overwelmingly vote for mccain or the green party or the libertarian party etc. many of you out there really do beleive that the hillary supporters would not do that to the dnc but you must keep this in mind. the dnc messed up the game. had they not disemfranchised florida and michigan, hillary will have already gotten 2026. it is the dnc rules that have stolen the nomination from hillary and now they have no choice but to nominate obama even though THEY ALL KNOW that mccain will get all of the hillary supporters and their votes. these voters dont care about the dnc and keeping the party together. please believe me whan i say that if hillary doesnt get the nod, mccain WILL be the president.

Can the american people really believe anything that comes out of the former Presidents mouth, did he not lie under oath, and now calling the kettle black, saying the results from the polls are not being reported accurately. He insinuates everyone else is dishonest. RIGHT. The worst thing Hillary did was let him campaign for her. I for One did not believe what he was saying a few years ago and I certainly do not believe any thing he has to say today.

Clinton is always causing trouble. She probably was bad mouth if the truth was known. But the people are right where is Obama when he should be in Puerto Rico campaigning. Instead he is acting like he has the nomimee all ready. This is just as bad as it was in Kentucky and W.Virginia. He needs to get his butt back on the campaigning or he will lose it! You have to question his motives or she will win Ruerto Rico with not problems – 55 delegates! Better get his head out straight or get out of the race! Obama is screwing up bad!

Paul   May 26th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

Clinton will win PR, for what it is worth. A major reason that the Clintons are liked in PR, which is seldom discussed, was the 1999 pardon of the Puerto Rican FALN terrorists. Which many think was done to help Hillary with her Senate race in New York. Which has a large Puerto Rican population.

TO JIM WHO WROTE THIS:

Hillary 2008, 2012.

She is our nominee and may the superdelegates understand that once and for all. We are millions upon millions who have voted for Hillary because SHE is the best candidate for the Dems and the SHE is the best to lead the country with her experience and programs.

All the polls coming out show that Hillary is the best bet to beat McCain in November. So why choose the second best choice when we could have the very best?

It is the role of the Superdelegates to correct what is not necessarily good math results from the primaries and not just following the pledged delegates.

YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE SUPERDELEGATES NOT FOLLOWING THE PLEDGE DELEGATES. THATS WHY OBAMA GOT BOTH SENATORS FROM W. VIRGINIA ON HIS SIDE AFTER A 41% HILLARY WIN! HA HA, EVEN WHEN SHE WIN SHE LOSES. THAT SHOULD TELL YOU IT'S OVER!! LET'S WORRY ABOUT MCCAIN!!

OBAMA '08

Hey "Anne from Canada" please quit speaking for all Canadians..I think your living in the States for 10 years has made you loose the thing that Canadians are respected for throughout the world and that is morales ethics and honesty …
What Hillary has said on nearly a daily basis lately has been inexcusable, divisive and extreme to the point that is sinking her deeper and depper..she has lied so much that her supporters are turning away and they are preparing for Obama to officially take the nomination soon…
so please "Anne from Canada" …do not speak for Canadians as we do not vote for liars and if Hillary was running up here for Prime Minister..her racist extreme divisive comments would not get a job with the Tim Horton's down the street never mind leading a country..The writing is on the wall..
SHE has LOST!!!

Obama for a new world soon… MCbush for tyranny forever ..

I am counting the days until she disappears off of the scene. She is like the energizer bunny, annoyingly going on. But the good thing is that she will have to end it all and we will not have to be so patronizing any more. She threw the kitchen sink, but forgot that it had a drain that wasn't stopped up. She has whined that she is not being treated fairly. What she forgot is that when you point your finger at someone, then there are three more pointing back at you. A FEW MORE DELEGATES and it will be all over. America has had the goal of 2025 (6) until she and her husband tried to change the number. If she were not behind significantly she would let the rules for FL and MI go as they were stated. Anything to win or so she thinks.

Clinton idiots are getting hysterical. And rabid. Their vitriol is frightening. I believe they are capable of anything. I have never heard or read such hatred and anger. The only reason I can find is that they are scared to death. They know deep down in their heart he is not capable. Go away Obama.

Guy   May 26th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

I will NOT vote for her!!!!!

Resonable Voter '08   May 26th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

People who say they will vote for McCain if Hillary doesn't win have bother me on so many levels. It baffles me people actually feel this way, because on the issues, McCain and Hillary have about in much in common as Jesus and Satan. If they agree with McCain's point of view, why would they be voting for Hillary, they have nothing in common when it comes to the issues.

Comments like this make me wonder about the intelligence of this country….

Tyler from CT   May 26th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Exactly what I want with our taxes -send them to PR! More fuel for the Republicans – I hope she continues to bash Obama

NoHillaryOnVpTicket   May 26th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Aren't Puerto Ricans "African and Hispanic"….So why do they try to act like they have no Black Blood? It's really sickening so see folks who literally hate themselves and not even know it. It is amazing how many hispanics don't realize that a lot of the benifits they have is due to the African Americans who came before them… yet they continue to hate on them… Maybe if yall vote for a brother, you'll be next… its only logic.

ROLLY LA   May 26th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

TO ALL OF YOU MY CO SUPPORTER OF HILLARY CLINTON.
IF HILLARY CLINTON DON'T A NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT
LET PUT A WEBSITE TOGETHER WHERE WE CAN HELP MC CAIN TO WIN. WHO WITH ME

NEVER HUSSAIN OBAMA   May 26th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

we are with you hillary….

Hillary or Mccain… I will never vote for wright raised obama…..

JERMAINE   May 26th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

I'm so sick of people saying, "If Clinton doesn't win, I will vote for Mccain!" Then shut up and do it. You are not a true democrat if you're gonna be that much of a loyalist to Clinton. Obama ran one heck of a campain dispite all the bumps in the road, and being of color. If you want to jump ship and vote for Mccain because Clinton didn't win then just shut up and do it. You'll be the one complaining in the long run if Mccain end up winning because of your ignorance.

truly yours   May 26th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

She deserve full respect, but unfortunately some drunken Obamamaniacs are constantly attacking her by use of unpropper language, and now the same individuals are expecting Sen. Clinton to
to convince her supporters to vote for Barak Obama in November, no need as many of us will vote for person we trust – not the party.I would like to ask question"IF YOU MUST GO TO HAVE SURGERY WOULD YOU CHOOSE AN EXPERIENCED WEEL KNOWN SURGEON OR YOUNG MEDICAL STUDENT????"
This time Democratic party leadership has failed making this primary undemocratic by preventing Florida / Michigan delegates to vote, pressure and bullying super delegates,intimidation on cacus voting.
It will pay back in November.

Linda   May 26th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Keep fighting Hillary…don't let yourself be pushed out!!! I am with ya all the way. Oh and if Obama win.s..I absolutely will nooooo way vote for him ever. I will have to go with McCain…which I really don't want to do. I hope they allow Florida and Mich. vote count…and I believe it was be terrible wrong if they don't …even if Obama wins it

Kimberly   May 26th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Go Hillary! We will never forget the dirty politics of the democratic party and Obama's campaign. I hope the rest of the 17 million voters join me in November to vote for McCain.

Sexy   May 26th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Love to Love the Clintons, all Hillary has is experienced in lying to uneducated people like you. She also have experience in breaking rules, unethical behavior, immoral, dishonest, and making sure she is one step in front of the law. This woman wants to be president so she will not have to answer for the all those pending investigations and the campaign fraud trial. Maybe if she is nice, Barack Obama might pardon her…lol.

R. Brown   May 26th, 2008 9:36 pm ET

Oh cry me a river.

Mob Boss Hillary HIRED fans is a traveling road show.

Was the black guy with the boxing gloves in the audience?

How about that RASTA black guy with that bright yellow shirt screaming YES WE CAN while waving uncontrollably to get the cameras attention to prove Hillary has black supporters?

How about the little boy who sold his bike to donate his last penny to RICH WOMAN's campaign? Were they there?

Hillary and her Gimmicks are growing weak.

Sit your silly behind down Hillary and learn how to count!

mama coo   May 26th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

Ms.j and all you other Obama fans, PLEASE understand Senator Clinton went by the rules in both Michigan and Florida. There was nothing in the rule that stated that she had to take her name off the ballot. Obama and Edwards CHOSE to take their names off. Hillary and several others CHOSE to keep theirs on. NOT AGAINST THE RULES. No one campaigned in Michigan . Obama and Edwards supporters were encouraged to vote other to show their support. In Florida, all of the names were on the ballot. Senator Obama had an ad run in Florida so SENATOR OBAMA actually broke the RULES. He was the only one to actually campaign there but he claimed it wasn't his fault. The media as usual down played this fact and continues to allow you fans to think Senator Clinton broke the rules. So, who broke the rules? Can you say Obama. No, because you fans are blind.

Sharon Antes   May 26th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

You know, I have watched silently while everyone bashes Hillary and Barack. We need to be on the same side people……..This is getting crazy!!!!! I thought in the beginning that Hillary was going to be the nominee and now that has changed – period. We need to pull together and support the person that has the most delegates. We have already been through the debacle of 2000 and the popular votes. It should be the popular votes that matter but it isn't…..So, since Barack has the most delegates then we should be behind him 100% and Hillary should concede.

Smart Voter   May 26th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

PR: Unfortunately, ya'll don't get to vote in our general election, so make this vote count. Hillary has lost the nomination so whatever amount of time you spend voting Hillary is for nothing. It'd be like betting on Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby.

KIRT   May 26th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

Obama your'e an impostor, you will never be a president of the great nation!!!

Sydney Charles   May 26th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

Puerto Rico?? Ok, pretty island but I'm sure Hillary and BIll are loved in some Latin American countries too. These people love to keep their rulers forever. They like Monarchies. They think she is EVITA. Pobresitos. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

jean t   May 26th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

america will do itself in again and elect mccain with clintons help.
when your loved ones are dying in iraq and the economy is in shambles,just remember you helped all that come about by voting for mccain instead of obama out of sheer spite.
he won fairly.should all the states he won be discounted because you want clinton to win?americans are the dumbest people in the world because they'll vote for someone out of spite.see how they treat clinton in the senate after she's ruined the party.

Big City Guy   May 26th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

It's time for Hillary to put her big butt on her double – wide broom and fly away !

Fran   May 26th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Puerto Ricans love Hillary!!!

We don't believe the lame speeches from Obummy.

Hillary or McCain.

nyime   May 26th, 2008 9:33 pm ET

Hillary Clinton complaining of sexism, while Barack Obama of racism.,But wait a minute, why in the first place were they wearing a tag each?one was the Female american,the other afro- american, whose faults?, the journalists? the people ? or the system of democracy, or our own proper way of administering democracy, please when next we think of talking about democracy, we ought to do so to all it extents,by giving to all the basic human rights equally to all without regards to race color, gender creed, etc.in america humans are identify by their origin.It is a pity what HISTORY, yes histories of our own deeds could do to our memories.

Charles   May 26th, 2008 9:32 pm ET

I love how she says Obama left after being there two days. Guess she failed to mention how in doing so, he was doing a favor to the greatly respected and loved Ted Kennedy when he left. He got out in Puerto Rico, he got his message and his point across, and he left. And she has a problem with that. For a while there she was letting things go smoothly. Now she's attacking Obama once again. Oh yeah, she can do that in Puerto Rico since they can't vote in the general election so she's not damaging anyone. What a joke.

Lisa F.   May 26th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Young female graduates…….do not be mislead by your elder females into guilting your support for fellow "woman" Hillary.

If she were honest and prepared she would not be in this predicament.
If she did not resort to lousy political tactics and had her campaign in order she would not be desperate and ashamed.

Young educated female graduates, be honest, prepared and organized……..you will do fine.

Unfortunately for professional women, we settled for her to represent our gender for president first time out.

As Oprah says…"When you know better, you do better."

Next time we'll do better.
But for now, lets unite and support Obama.

There are plenty of rights that we can't afford to lose.

xdem   May 26th, 2008 9:31 pm ET

Hey Obamacannots:) Get it through you heads….Majority of Hillary supporters WILL NOT vote for Obama! McCain will win in the general and I will be happy to help put him there. Atleast, the man loves this country and is a patriot…More than that of Obama. He is divisive, un patriotic, and is inexperienced. I just do not get you people, how in the world could you follow a man that can sit up in church and listen to all the hate. It makes me believe that he must of agreed with the Rev Wrong or he would have left. Wouldnt you? I'm sure there is plenty more on this man that the republicans will bring out in the fall. Which once again, a republican president. Hillary is the only real choice for President (after all, all her dirty laundry was aired years ago…no suprises here)…I'd be OK with Obama being vice..he needs the experience!

Oh, and CNN…why is it that hardly any of my posts are accepted??? Is it because I'm too critical of your man???

max   May 26th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

from front runner, to probly not going to win. what a fall . as to those who hate Obama why? whats wrong with him. Also i'm fine with a women president to bad a women is running.

Repfor Clinton'08   May 26th, 2008 9:30 pm ET

Since the day I turned 18 I registered as a Republican yet I have been drawn to these primary elections like a moth to a flame. In the fall, I vote Republican if Hillary is not on the ticket. I'm sure there are other Republicans that feel the same way. I do not trust Obama's politics, he promises change with no viable solutions. Without a script, he fumbles his words as badly as Bush. Both candidates have misspoken but Obama has been called out by his own preacher. You cannot renounce Wright after 20 years of him being your preacher, marrying, baptizing your children, etc. Next turn your back on GOd why don't you, all in the name of winning an election.

MARY WILLIAMS (SAINT ALBANS WEST VIRGINIA)   May 26th, 2008 9:29 pm ET

It is amazing to me that soo many people are so stupid to vote for barrack obama who is just a anti-white, anti-american muslim. So go ahead and vote for someone you know nothing about.

Riz   May 26th, 2008 9:29 pm ET

SAY NO TO BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!! HE'S A BOGUS ARROGANT PERSON WE EVER KNOW!!! BYE BYE BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!!!!!!

BJ   May 26th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

Republicans and the press and media want Barack Obama to win the nomination because there is NO WAY he can WIN in November against McCain!

HILLARY is the only one who can win the presidency!

Frank, Dayton, Ohio   May 26th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

Hillary is proving time and again how divisive she is as a candidate. Witness on the other side that Obama rarely says a negative word about her and won't leave unanswered anyone else saying a negative word about her, even though he's almost sure to beat her in the long run, just as he's sure to beat McCain in November.

RT   May 26th, 2008 9:28 pm ET

To all these HRC supporters with their infantile threats to vote for McCain if she is not the nominee: Please do!!!! you really deserve another 4 years of Bush. However, sorry to tell you, that even with your enacted threats, the reality is that the winds of history have turned. Obama will be the next President! Welcome to the future!

chicago Livin'   May 26th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

This is pretty hilarious…as a republican it's been a real treat to watch. I mean you actually have supporters of a different candidate (who has no chance to win, I'm sorry Clinton supporters) who say they will not vote for the parties nominee (Obama) just because their candidate lost and they are sour about it. I mean come on, I was a Romney supporter and whether you know it or not Romney and McCain pretty much hate each other, but I'm going to vote for my party because that's what I believe in. I don't care who the president is as long as he is a republican. Hillary supporters crack me up, they are straight up refusing to vote for Obama because they are sore losers, and as funny as that is for us republicans, it really shows how dumb the democratic party is. But hey Hillary supporters, keep it up, this long process is only helping us take the white house…AGAIN. Wow democrats are not smart.

Adrian   May 26th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

Its amazing the hate which comes out from the Obama supporters.
Read the comments and Hillary supporters arent as harsh and as rude as the Obama supporters.
I reckon we should know who is breaking the party appart.
Dont say we are stupid – you need us. What we need is for you to reach out as what Obama claims to do.
So much for change if obama supporters are acting like typical politicans which they claim to hate.

cree   May 26th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

hillary clinton will make sure no dem wins the white house.
she has told many lies to her supporters and now they want obama to lose even though they are democrats.
howard dean,pelosi,gore and the rest are the biggest bunch of whimps i've ever seen.they let clinton tell these lies to stir up hatred and ruin their chances in november.
i remember when before the primaries started the media,and the clintons said she would win by feb 5th.but obama jumped out ahead of her.the contest was fair and square and now they want to change the rules.they have lied to people and people are hating obama for it.
america is a sad sad place.the democratic party is even sadder.

democrat la   May 26th, 2008 9:27 pm ET

WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU HILLARY.
THANK YOU FOR NOT GIVING-UP ON US

Wendie   May 26th, 2008 9:26 pm ET

The angry, devisive comments by the Obama supporters here show how much hate he has sown. Are you reading and listening to what you write? You are profusing hate. Obama and his supportrers are not bringers-of-change but stirer-uppers of hate. If these are the kind of supporters he is attracting, maybe there should be questions about the people he surrounds himself with.
This inspired hate will bring big trouble. Look at what is happening in New york and other places around the country. It is not inclusiveness.

David, Paducah, Kentucky   May 26th, 2008 9:26 pm ET

I'm a member of AFSCME and I DO NOT support Hillary Clinton. The National AFSCME organization backs her, however the majority of the State AFSCME Chapters do not. I'm an Obama supporter. Down with Hillary Clinton in 2008!

Thisisnews?   May 26th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

This is news because???

1. It's a Hillary bully rally
2. They just heard her claim again that she is going to be President
3. They heard Bill make reference to another Hispanic lawmaker who ran for President with a snide snicker…ha, ha, ha
4. They heard her claim she was being fired upon by snipper fire while landing in PR with Sinbad and she ran for cover
5. They were handed Hillary's last community health insurance program
6. They were sad at her reference to strange time lines and beloved former politicians dying from gunfire
7. They want her to leave PR and fast.

Please do the world a big favor and just get lost !!!

P.S. dont forget to take your husband with you.

informed voter   May 26th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

LOL!!

It is sooo funny that some of Hillary's supporters prove here just what tv pundits say about them! Some of you want to vote for her soo badly, but you seem unable to even spell her name!!!!!

Nia   May 26th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

I wonder if Bill is going to call this story a cover up?! oh and this statment is intresting:
"The former president said his wife has long been dedicated to Puerto Rican issues."
The same way they are dedicated to African Americans, or Asian Americans, etc….

Jean   May 26th, 2008 9:25 pm ET

Armon in Dallas

The color of Mr. Obama's skin is NOT a deciding factor for my decision not to vote for him. That vote is being decided by his pathetic lack of experience, his lack of any ideas to implement the "change" he boasts of, his questionable belief in America, and the thought he should get what he wants when he wants it.

The fact he sat under the rantings of his former pastor for twenty some years and says he didn't know Rev. Wright's stand on hate of America proves that he lies. Then there is Michelle. –Oh, please, we want to be president of the United States now. Does it matter that she was never proud of her country until Barack started winning?

I will not vote for him because he is elitist and, yes, he would be as a deer caught in the country's headlights if he is elected. He will have no idea what to do first, next, or last.

GO-o-o-o-o-o-o-o Hillary.

HillaryBoy   May 26th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

HAHA that's funny. Puerto Rico know who is better. Yeah, Boo Obama the white racist hater. Obama is such a fake sugar coating everything he says that will never happen. He would never get the funds. Hillary=Cool, Obama= A Joke.

Michigan for Obama   May 26th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

Don't fall for it PR! Hillary is like a chameleon, changing her colors as she moves from state to state (to territory… ) She doesn't care about you, she only cares about your vote. Don't be fooled the way WV was, you're smarter than that! And super delegates should be looking at the way she is trying to bring Obama down, leading the crowd to boo him.

Oh La   May 26th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

Whats a few hundred people booing Obama, when you have a nation Booing Clinton.

Sexy   May 26th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

Clinton Supporter, you need to get your education dummy. Puerto Rico can't vote in the general election. You have listen to Bill and Hillary lies so much to you are confused.

Susan=====NC   May 26th, 2008 9:24 pm ET

Hillary you have fought a good fight so far and I hope that you don't give up now. You have the poise, good communication, nice to the people and if need be get to there level, sitting at the cafe and talking and sitting in homes and talking shows how humble you are. CNN have not treated you right at all==they have covered OB and McCain and seem to push you to the side. I get so tired of Blitzer I could scream, with all his pushing OB., maybe he wants to be VP for OB, the problem is he will not win-YOU ARE THE ONE FOR THE WINNING TICKET! It will come down to you an McCain. OB is so rude and you have not made any statement that the citizens of my age understand, those who don't shows that they were not born yet. It kills me to hear OB talk about the war and what he is going to do when he never served in any branch of the service. He could have joined, he loves talking about his grandfather and also how he grew up with a single mother. He is not the only one that had hard times coming up but we don't air our laundry in public. JUST DON'T GIVE UP, I WORKED FOR YOU IN NC AND YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. you have votes here, it is beyond me why you did not carry this state, but we shall see in Nov. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AS YOU CONTINUE YOUR HARD WORK.WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO BE IN WASHINGTON WHEN YOU ARE SWORN IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Rhonda   May 26th, 2008 9:23 pm ET

I find it ironic that former president Clinton would bring up the subject of disrespect for his wife when he committed the ultimate throwing of her under the bus during his episodes with the female intern blowing on his Lewinsky's harmonica.

Dave in Pa   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

I am looking forward to the day the day when Hillary and all her supportors come to the understanding that they LOST. Obama is far the only potential candidate to be President. The Clintons are finished stealing, lying, and covering up their rotten lifestyles.
Time for Change. Obama all the way!!!

Matt   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

Puerto ricans should help the democratic party put a end to Hillary uselless race for presidency and vote for the candidate that have already WON! BRACK OBAMA
si se puede!

PuertoRican from PR   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

Wow. Every time I think the US has progressed, I’m brought back to reality. “These people”, “they no speak English”, “why do they even get to vote, they don’t have to follow Federal law”.
Some truths from a Puerto Rican living in Puerto Rico:
1. although we cannot vote in the general election, we have a federal court in PR
2. Puerto Ricans in PR are heavily recruited into the US ARMY. (hence, Puerto Ricans are fighting a war for a President they don’t even get to vote for).
3. Federal employees who work in PR have to file federal tax returns, but cannot vote in the general election. (meaning, taxation without representation).
4. If you were able to see the news here, you would know we are not buying any of it, from either candidate.

DanceKerr   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

It is so UNAMERCIAN that the democratic voters of FL & MI are not being allowed to have their votes counted. So wrong AND WHY? An Early VOTING DATE CHANGE!

i can't believe you strung that many words together just to say you won't won't for Obama. get a life Belle. Obama wa fine before this election and will be fine after.

Ken Horowitz   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

Hans- The primary in Puerto Rico is relevant to us, at least, since we're American citizens who can go off and die in Iraq but can't vote for or against the person who sends us there. It's the only participation we're allowed in the presidential process, and until the U.S. makes up its mind about what to do with us – because what is considered a viable status option and what isn't changes every four years – we'll have to sit on the sidelines and hope America decides to finally tackle the issue it's largely ignored for more than a century.

Anne from Canada   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

I am from Canada an following this very closely. Lived 10 years in the USA (legally), so I feel american t.oo. Here goes. since it will most probably not be posted, but I need to vent here.
Folks, this is serious business, not American Idol. Hillary IS the most electable and qualified, in fact the only electable of democrats since some other good potential runners dropped early. I had some respect for Edwards although I did not feel he could commend the country in the mess it's in now and really was chocked when he went for Obama.
You want change? if you buy new furniture for your house what do you do first? Clean the old stuff out first. Hillary is the only one that can do this. Obama can rule the world with his ponpous attitude when it's all cleaned up. In 2016

Wake up americans. Do you really want 4 more years of Bush?
Canada wants Hillary. We need and miss our friends from the south. Bush thinks we all live in igloos. And we promis we'll get read of our canadian moron in power in the next election.

YEA!!! for universal health care.
GO HILLARY! DON'T LET US DOWN!!!!!

Dmitriy   May 26th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

Where is Judas? He even went against the votes of his state. When Hillary won New Mexico he wanted to appease Hussein and endorced him, or maybe his wife, who said "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of America"

James   May 26th, 2008 9:21 pm ET

Clinton or McCain ? wow what planet are you on. Obama or Clinton…more like it, unless we want a 16 year old brain in a 70 year old body for president be my guest, wouldnt surprise me, nothing would at this point. But McCain people….come on…

All you Hillary haters call yourselves Democrats? Have you people completely lost your minds, or are you so clueless about what has been going on the past 20 years in this country that you don't even know how stupid you all sound?

Shame on all Democrats for the hatred going on in your pary. You are all nothing but worthless, low life people. Your leaders are also very ineffective

A comment from someone supporting a candidate from your party.

Donald   May 26th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

People need to wake up and smell the coffee!! Hillary has no chance of winning at this point, the math isn't there. I supported Hillary at first, but after Iowa and the other things that happened during the primaries I feel very strongly that Obama IS the best candidate to lead this country from the diaster called Dumbya. In fact, all she has made herself out to be is a drama queen these past several months. It's time for this farce to come to an end, Obama WILL win the democratic nomination by the middle of next week. All these Clinton scenearios are wishful thinking to the point of ad nauseum. If she wants to stay in and make her statement fine, but at the end of the day she will be on the outside looking in.

Joe   May 26th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

You Barak Obama supporters, I know so many postings against Hillary but it came from few heads with different aliases. You considered all people of the states that Hillary had won as stupids which in fact we know that your words costs much dollars from Barak Obama. You were employed by Obama to speak for him and watch every word that Hillary has to speak and attack her. How much are your salary for betraying your countrymen?

Paul   May 26th, 2008 9:20 pm ET

Those of you who support a loser like hillary……PLEASE DON:T VOTE FOR OBAMA >>>>>>>WE DO NOT NEED YOU……THERE ARE ENOUGH INTELLIGENT, THOUGHTFUL AND OBJECTIVE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE PARTY LINE TO BRING IN REAL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER……..YOU CAN ALL GO TO PASTURE WITH YOUR BAESTLY GODDESS……..JUST GO AWAY……WE DONT NEED YOU. WE HAVE ALREADY WON……WITHOUT YOU.

no, not her please   May 26th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

someone…anyone…please get her out of the picture. this is getting too ridiculous anymore…now he's claiming she has the popular vote so of course her robots will believe it. she is killing is chances of winning the general every day she hangs on. i would like to blame her for this but it's really the superdelegates fault. they could end this in a heartbeat.

Wash. U. in St. Louis student for Obama   May 26th, 2008 9:19 pm ET

I'm so sick of seeing Hillary attacking Obama while Obama praises her. What's the deal with that? Is she so desperate that she'll even attack Obama on MEMORIAL DAY? Every time Hillary attacks Obama, the Democrats' chances of winning in November drop, as Hillary makes the mistake of turning her voters off to Obama.

You think you're helping to unite the party, Hillary…but you're only splitting it apart further!

OBAMA '08

extinct snipe   May 26th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Pobrecita! Hillary is leading in popularity in the 51st state of the U.S. Does that mean anything? Do they even vote? Maybe she can go campaign on Wake Island?

Chipster   May 26th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Clinton is NOT far behind and, in fact, considering the constant drumbeat of the media against her, has done quite well. She has won the largest electoral states and lost delegates in states she won only because of the caucus process. The majority of people in many of those states voted for her. Sen. Obama has had an advantage. He only had to campaign against Sen. Clinton. She has had to campaign against Sen. Obama, Jack Cafferty, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, and Howard Dean. Yet, still she has half of the voters begging her to stay in the race because she is the most qualified candidate.

Jason, Texas   May 26th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

Hilary, would you please just go home and stop your whining.

Lisa Salt Lake City, Utah   May 26th, 2008 9:16 pm ET

So Hillary wants PR to chose our Democratic nominee (when they do not even vote for the President), and she wants to discount all of the votes from the Caucus states. If Hillary was so upset with the Democratic primary – then why hasn't it ever been on her agenda during her 35 years of experience?

Vig   May 26th, 2008 9:15 pm ET

Clinton should be the nominee. Not you-know-who, smiley face.

Chooch   May 26th, 2008 9:15 pm ET

I can not believe how illiterate some people are that post comments. A lot of you need to go back to school and get at least an 8th grade education. Look at the first comment to this article. The media has implied that uneducated, older people are supporting Hillary Clinton. From the way these comments are written by B.S. Obummer supporters I find that extremely hard to swallow. I think that the majority of his supporters are not only stupid, but uneducated and gullible beyond all belief. I have been a die hard supporter of the democratic party for many years but if OBUMMER gets the democratic nomination that will change. I refuse to be swept up in a mad rush to support a candidate that can not win the presidential election. Wake up America, don't be taken in by the rhetoric with no substance.

Bill from Rochester, NY   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Now that Hillary is no longer bashing Obama, it obvious that she hoping to get the Vepee nod. Can you imagine Barack not only having to control Hillary but Bill as well. It would be the first time we've ever had a co-VP by an X-President. Bill enters the Oval office at 8 am every morning to brief Barack on the daily issues. Have you seen and heard the whining that Bill has been doing this week about a coverup of the polls. Hillary might have a couple of points on Barack but if the Democrats are voting in unison then it should be a blow out for Barack.

Marge Hibbing Mn   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Isn't it odd…during a lot of the rallies for obummer whenever he mentioned anything concerning Hillary the crowd booed.

Now that obummer is getting it back the buttholes who support him don't like it too….bad…too darn bad…you zombies are only getting what you asked for.

Chris   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

"This historic election has been turned into a hate campaign. "

yup – and more of Hillary's supporters hate him more than Obamas supporters hate her (or would be willing to vote for). Negative, fear mongering advertising and lies to the less educated voter for 10 points anyone?

she has said she'd do everything in her first term… like give them voting rights (make them a state) old school pandering of promising the world anyone?

Hillary in 2008   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Hillary has the experience & the intelligence to help America. Our nation is in crisis. We need another Clinton to clean up this Bush mess. God Bless Hillary!

Chris   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

What a great way to unify the democrats, Hillary! Incite divisiveness and disdain for your fellow democrat who most likely will be running for office representing YOUR party in November.

Vig   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Clinton should be the nominee, not an inexperienced, arrogant, superficial smiley face.

Pat W.   May 26th, 2008 9:14 pm ET

Every time I read about HIllary, Bill, or Hillary supporters, complaining about Hillary being treated so unfairly by the press, I'm reminded of one of the early debates in which Hillary complained about that very thing. Then what followed was a complete reversal as the press attempted "make-up" coverage on behalf of Hillary — for weeks and weeks Obama was hammered on Rev. Jeremiah Wright, he was hammered on his voters are "bitter" comments, etc. What did he do? He gave a speech for the ages on race, apologized for his "bitter" comments and said he should have chosen his words better, and basically defended himself head on.

What he didn't do was blame Hillary or the media, which Hillary does repeatedly. I really don't see where the press has treated Hillary more unfairly than Obama. Perhaps a Hillary supporter could site some specific instances? The Bosnia incident wasn't unfair coverage. Hillary DID lie about it. And that little dust up only lasted 2 weeks anyway.

As a former Clinton supporter, I never thought I'd say this — I've reached the point where HIllary makes me ashamed of my gender.

TexasVet   May 26th, 2008 9:13 pm ET

I cannot understand for the life of me why some of you HIllary supporters are still saying Hillary or MCCAN never Obama. I guess it's because they support similar policies you know like UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, and STOPPING THE WAR… NO, that's Obama and Hillary. MCCAIN your close second choice supports the opposite position on both points and many many others.

But none of that really matters does it? Cuz you just don't like Obama since he won't let HIllary win. Wake up people, all of you and Hillary need to wake the hell up and put your egos in check. Our party is in peril everyday she stays in this race. It's time for her to concede.

Try to see the bigger picture. This isn't about Obama or Mrs. Clinton it's about our country and our way of life. Our men and women dying in Iraq.

If you can't see that you deserve the president you'll get. But the rest of us level headed people Democrats don't. I let people like you determine my last eight years and I'll do everything possible to stop it from happening for another 8 years.

Democrats 08…that means OBAMA 08…GET A CLUE!

Here we go again. She is winning and begging and telling the big lie to the people. She is a snake a backbiter a backstabber a lier a cheat and she learned well from hubby Bill the cheater, lier, robber and they both are suffering from ADD and Bipolar sickness. They are not trying to help the people and are not really talking about helping us. They just want to get back into the White House. I will not vote for her, I will not vote if she is the nomonee. She and her campaign and her husband and child have backpeddled and twisted the rules so many times it is a crying shame. They have their own rules that they want the DNC to follow and that's not right. When will they get it. They've spent over 20 million dollars and owe everyone, just like Bush owes China billions so how can she run the United States. Senator Clinton has run a terrific wonderful campaign and has funds to spear for the General Election. The Clintons are so elite they can pay themselves millions without batting an eye. So why is the Presidency so important to them, because they want to continue their corruption. Some of the people are blinded to the Clintons. I say WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Angela   May 26th, 2008 9:11 pm ET

Obama doesn't inspire "hate." Hillary does. She failed us back in the day with her universal healthcare plan. She can be bought out and people HATE that. Hillary is a deceitful money-grubber. I like Obama, but like many, I'd vote for just about anyone but Hill.

Hang in there Hillary for America. Obama is FRAUD! What is it going to take for the blind to see how he came to be the candidate from Chicago? This guy will sink the democrat changes if he is elected the candidate. Every Hillary supporter stand and write the DNC and say:

NO OBAMA NO OBAMA

Limit your responses to NO OBAMA! NO OBAMA!

Send e-mails to the DNC…..this guy can not become the candidate…WE WILL NOT VOTE OBAMA

Karen Beaumont, TX   May 26th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Obama has a family and he has to take breaks to spend time with his little girls. This is one of the things I admire about him. He has mentioned more than once the hardest thing about campaigning is leaving his family behind. He is providing a good example of a committed husband and father to our young people. As for Clinton, the whole thing makes me sadder by the day. I plan to vote Democrat no matter who the nominee is but her behavior has gotten out of hand. Michigan and Florida broke the rules. It is that simple and she agreed to the rules in the beginning when she thought for sure she would be the nominee and only wants those states counted because she wants the nomination so badly. As for the booing I hope Clinton put a stop to it immediately.

Noemi   May 26th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Another deception by the Obama campaign. It appears that David Axlerod may be a lobbyist, according to an article written by Isikoff at Newsweek. Although I'm sure the media will allow Obama to get away with this, I doubt that McCain will. Axlerod is a very slick character and has had some questionable relationships. He is apparently a senior partner in ASK Public Strategies. Very interesting. Obama is definitely not a new kind of politician, his modus operandi is as old as the hills. He's just good at misleading his flock of sheep.

Hillary is a winner   May 26th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

This is the candidate that has proven she can win and win big like she did in NY, PA, OH, KY and WV.

She also won Florida and Michigan.

I say a good ticket would be Hillary and Biden for VP

Jackee   May 26th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

Why is Senator Clinton so popular? I do not understand why Latinos think that the Clintons' are in their corner. They have millions; they do not know what hard work is! Senator Obama has done nothing but work for those that do not have much! He is the best candidate and can do much more for our country!

Senator Clinton and her husband are trying to state that the press is giving Senator Obama more air play and press whereas in my opinion they are giving her much more time! All I ever hear is how much she won by in West Virginia over and over again but they do not mention anything except for in small print that Senator Obama also won by a lot in several states! But I guess we know why they are not mentioning those states because "those states do not matter"!

Molly   May 26th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

Obama is NOT QUALIFIED and will NEVER be elected due to his WEAK, RADICAL, questionable background.

The obama group is a DISGRACE to LIE about the RFK "story" and now tell us all to "move on"!! – Our candidate of UNITY is a FRAUD!

Hillary or McCain NEVER obama

OBAMA '08 (or should I be like Hillary and her supporters who, wine, cry on cue, hire greedy, incompetent operatives who wrote the current rules – Mark Penn – try to change those rules mid-game when I'm losing, and then threaten to vote for the other guy because I was never really a Democrat to begin with?)

Hilary will win the nominee, because she have more popular votes, and she has ability to lead American. Who is nominee can not make by supper delegate. The most of supper delegates want to get benefit from election, so their endorsement change from here to there. The supper delegates should be out of the election, out of misleading people.

deroy   May 26th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

he's the nominee of blacks and college professors, old hippes and beatniks.

Rose   May 26th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

Even without counting Michigan, Hillary Rodham Clinton had more popular votes than Barak Hussein Obama, this is to prove that she's electable than him. Those causcuses that Barak Hussein Obama had won were all in a wrong process, there were some cheating that Barak Obama had initiated which the democratic party failed to make some actions.

Noemi   May 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

Before you say that PR don't speak the language check your grammar instead of talking about PR. Next to all who don't what PR is about we are very educated have one of the best colleges in the Island and States "University of PR," nuff said.

With respect to pledge count we Hillary supporters conceed, but what embarrasement it will be for Obama to not have won the popular vote.

Take that Obama supporters!!!

Texan   May 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

I've been a Democrat all of my life, and I'm quite bothered by these remarks that not voting for Obama is being "traitorous" to the party. I can no longer identify with a political party that refuses to count the vote of anyone, much less the voters of two large states. I can no longer identify with a party who tries to push out one candidate when the other has NOT reached the number of delegates required, and the people who head the party are so disloyal. If they throw Hillary under the bus for a shot at power, why wouldn't they do the same to this country?

From this point on, if anyone asks my political affiliation, it's American. I will vote for McCain before I vote for Obama. I don't see that as betraying my party, as I feel that my party has betrayed me. I love my country and cannot vote for Obama with a clear conscience. Better the devil we do know than the one we don't.

jONNY d   May 26th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

This McEntee must be a really fine union leader. How many jobs has the Clinton NAFTA deal cost union workers? How much tax money has been lost that with those lost jobs.? How many AFSCME jobs are lost because of NAFTA? I'm glad my union leaders checked into candidates records. Unions need leaders not more political hacks.

I don't like Obama's strategy of blowing off these last remaining states. It looks bad that he is getting trounced. Puerto Rico will be more of the same.

However, the Hillary campaign now is not about winning — though that is the theme they play — it is about showing everyone how superior and smart they are. It is about divisiveness. It is about a scorched earth philosophy. She wants to have a chip to play to wield power.

I was a huge Bill Clinton fan. Today, he and Hillary repulse me. Dare I say it — I now know how Repubs feel about the Clintons.

Mary   May 26th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

Belle,
The DNC allowed certain states to move their primary up; those states were the states in which they believed Obama would do well. Obama is the most negative candidate I can remember; he inspires such hatred and animosity that is just unbelievable
______________________________________________________
Belle,

Please go back and check your facts, the DNC or the Obama campaign had nothing to do with Florida/Michigan moving their primaries up–that was decision that the state legislatures decided upon after being warned by the DNC that they would be penalized.

Furthermore, all Democratic candidates (at that time, including the Clinton campaign) agreed not to campaign in those states and others removed their names from the ballots (Michigan).

I support HRC, but you cannot change the rules in the middle of the game, because you are close to being out the running, if nothing else you really need to check and doublecheck your facts before you believe the hype that the Clinton's are spinning.

The sad truth for all of HRC supporters is that she and her campaign did not do well in the primary is because they were so sure they had the nomination all wrapped up by Feb 5th (those are Hillary's words, not mine).

F, MPLS   May 26th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

I don't like the idea of Democrats booing other Democrats. This was brought forcibly home to me on March 4, at our Senatorial District Committee in Houston, Texas, when our Congresswoman, the Hon. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Clinton backer, was mercilessly booed when she was introduced to the convention, and barely allowed to speak by the Obama majority in the hall.

Just keep this up, fellwo Democrats, if you want to see a Republican victory in November.

Anna, SW Missouri   May 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Hillary made the same promises to the people of DC and Quam that she is now making in Puerto Rico. As soon as she lost in those elections, she not only did NOT thank her supporters but now say those districts and territories do not count. So why should any of us believe that Puerto Rico should count. It is not on the electoral college map because it can not vote in the GE, so it will not matter to her no matter what she is trying to feed to these fine people now.

Glenn   May 26th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Obama only needs 52 delegates and/or superdelegates for the nomination. With Hillary's insistance to remain in the race he will receive in great excess of the required 2026 delgates. She will help in receive in excess of 2200 dlegates. What irony!

Frances L   May 26th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

Clinton supporters, do you really want to count all the votes, then we must count the voters in caucus states as well. Therefore, there is no way Clinton has the most votes. Obama has won twice as many states, votes and delegates. How a person runs their campaign can possibly give us an idea on how they will run the country . Clinton is running in the negative, she has loaned her own campaign $11.4 million. She had someone initially in charge who was campaigning for her as well as the Columbian free trade, something she supposedly opposed. If she cannot even run a campaign very well, what makes anyone think she can run a country?

Will   May 26th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

So Obama fans are saying negative things about people booing Obama. I wonder what they said when Shelia Jackson Lee was booed at the Texas Convention at at least two different venues. No mention of that but this merits all sorts of negative responses. What goes around comes around. Obama fans should get use to it. People have learned by their example.

dtaylor   May 26th, 2008 8:55 pm ET

The Clintons have really lost it. I use to be such a huge fan of both Clintons but my impression of them has changed drastically. I have lost alot of respect for both of them. To imply there is some major cover up to keep Hilary from the nomination is ridiculous. And for those that imply the media and DNC are all trying to "give" Obama the nomination is insane. Hilary has far more superdeletes in the beginning which to me implies the DNC was very much in her favor.

All the people talking about polls showing Clinton is more electable than Obama over McCain in the general election..what does it really mean? She was also far ahead of Obama in the polls before the primaries started and all indications was she would be the presumptive nominee after Feb 5th..but we see the polls is not what determines election results.

There is lots of negative comments on blogs by supports of both candidates..its not just Obama's or just Clinton's…but anyone that is basing their vote on what a candidates supports post on a blog are not being responsible voters. As much as I have lost alot of respect for the Clintons, I would still hold my nose and vote for her if she was the nominee..it is very hard for to me understand how a Clinton supporter would rather vote for McCain over Obama just because he beat Clinton for the nomination. Obama didn't make the rules, he only played by them…didn't try to change them when he got behind. So don't blame him for how the systems is set up…

I don't vote on emotions, gender or color. I vote on my money. I don't want to be taxed to debt. Obama is rated the most lefty liberal in the Senate. You might want to go check out how he got there in the first place. I am waiting for the Rezko trail and Larry Sinclair. Be that as it may, I would never vote for him. I wonder who would be his v.p. Farrakan? Wright? Who in his cabinet? Sharpton and Cindy Sheehan.?
By the electoral map either Hillary or McCain would beat Ob.

After reading some of the comments here, I have come to the mind that there are a lot of Barack Hussein Obama supporters that are afraid that Hillary Clinton is going to beat him to the nominee of the Democrat party.

ALL of those that are asking or saying that Hillary has lost and should get out, are truly the dumb ones that are afraid and know that people have said that they want Hillary Clinton as the nominee, for they also know that only Hillary Clinton will be able to beat McCain in November,

Barack Hussein Obama DOES NOT have what it takes to be a President. He lacks the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to make it happen.

The Puerto Rico people will let the world know on June 1 that they want Hillary Clinton to become the Democrat Nominee and NOT Barack Hussein Obama! The people also know that if by some chance that Barack Hussein Obama ends up being the nominee, that he WILL NOT be able to beat McCain in November, so
