I cannot support a campaign of Hope fueled by Hate.
Based on the conduct of this campaign and of the supporters and surrogates of Obama, and the lack of substance of the candidate, I will vote McCain—or Ron Paul—or not at all, no matter how much Hillary asks me for his support. I think the people of this campaign are dangerous and immature and it is too late to change their dynamics, as far as I am concerned. Having experienced the ideology of the "new liberal", for the first time in my life, I want a Republican who will hold this fanaticism at bay for as long as possible. See what you can do in November, having alienated several large, historically loyal and hard working, constituencies. Now, go ahead, call me "racist trash" and "bitter, uneducated, old woman", and all the other filth you have thrown at us that is not fit for print here but that has contaminated the airwaves and blog sites for so long. That is your "educated", "hopeful", "new style politics" response. Frankly, I no longer care who "wins" in November. Others decide, not the voting public. Whoever plays the dirtiest and may the best loser win!

Hillary Clinton is a divider, and an ununiter. You people need to see past the smoke screen. She saids she wants the nomination, but she is dividing our party. Blacks have shown our loyal support for democratic party. Hillary, you have failed us in you ethics, and integrity. You are a disgrace.

Well, this is just another example of the Camp Obama spin to make it look good strategy! When Florida and Michigan are seated and the 'winning' number is adjusted - the people will see that Obama and the DNC did a total injustice to the American people. Obama is unelectable and will loose the General Election.

No matter how it is done, this is a railroad job because Clinton is a threat to Obama and the boys will band together. Hope they like it when Obama looses to McCain. We will have 4 more years of crap because of them thinking with the smaller of the two heads!

Between Clinton and Obama, they have regisdtered enough new democrats that a scenario like the Nader thing is improbable. They even have more yet to register yet as the general election gets underway. I think the voters have spoken. Hillary can't run as an Independant because of the agreement she just signed to raise money for the DNC. That would mean she would be forced to raise millions for a party she doesn't support anymore. It would also be the ultimate act of desperation and would disappoint a lot of her supporters.

Bye Bill and Hillary!!!!

When did the Clintons become such a mess? I'm a Hillary supporter and it's like I don't even know these people any more… terrifying

I am not looking forward to hearying "Change", "Hope" and "Yes we can" chanting for the next 4 years so my vote is going to Bob Barr!

Superdelegates should do what they KNOW they need to do. The prolonged primaries is not a good sign, it just reveals Hillary's "It's all about me" syndrome. If she really cared about her constituents, she would concede and start rallying behind Obama. It's that simple. And those who decide to vote McCain come November, will be very, very, very sorry. If you can't handle American policies now, why the heck are you going to support McCain to perpetuate the mess we have now because you don't like Obama? THINK.

Obama is not the nominee until Florida and Michigan are counted. If he does not want them to count he is cheat - plain and simple. If they are counted the numbers will change and he knows it. Hillary has the popular vote - he does not. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM VOTING FOR HIM AND I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM. So he can declare himself the nominee all he wants - he will not win the election. The DNC will be sorry that they did not back Hillary because Obama will not win in November.

Hillary's latest comment MISTAKENLY calling Obama…Osama when talking about him being taken out and then saying I meant Obama but we would like to them both out. Was as low as she can go for me. Anyone still voting for this woman after these comments is as low as she is and a disgrace to our country. Unbelievable! I am appalled and completely turned off. CNN, I am very surprised that you all are not making a big deal of those comments. But you put out a article saying that Hillary's supporters in PR booed Obama…that isn't news…that is expected as we Obama supporters boo her. Report something of substance!

From the numbers it looks as if Axelrod is right, but sad to say we never know what type of tricks the Clintons won't pull ou of their trick bag. She does have a majority of supporters on the Rules and Bylaws Committee and might not accept what the Committee 's ruling. That will create a huge problem for the DNC. Hopefully, they will look at the numbers and do the right thing and seat the delegates in a fair manner - keeping in mind that Senator Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan and that Senator Obama was a virtual unknown to some when the Florida election was held and did not campaign there.

LOL… Obama will be the democratic nominee but that is it… LOL… No way Hillary supporters will vote for him in November, we will not vote or better yet, we will vote for McCain.

We don't care if Hillary throws her support to him, we will NOT vote for Obummy in November.

Say hello to President John McCain everyone!

Obama may be declaring victory over Hillary but he has a long way to go before he can declare victory over John McCain, if Obama ever gets to make that claim which is becoming increasingly more doubtful. Electoral-vote.com has Obama running about even with McCain in the electoral vote count in the general election while Clinton is ahead of McCain by 133 electoral votes!

Please do not blame Hillary. Blame the ineffective SUPERDELEGATES who are sitting on the fence to watch the democratic party disintegrate. SUPERDELEGATES should be abolished! There should be no magic number. Whoever wins the largest number of pledged delegates should be the winner. There is nothing like United Big States of America. Both big and small states equally matter. There is nothing like United Blue States of America or United Red States of America. Both Blue States and Red States equally mater. That is why there is only the United States of America.

Hillary and Bill, please respect your Clinton name and accept defeat. Do not break up the democratic party!

If Obratma wins, good luck in winning in November. The politicians in the party MAY be united, but Obratma has LOST a large portion of true Democrats. He is NOT the best candidate for the nation nor has he my vote. I USED to be a Democrat and am VERY Liberal, but this election has shown me that the Dems do not care about the voters (Michigan and Florida disenfranchisement) or their own party. I will be writing in Hillary's name on my ballot or will vote AGAINST Obratma. Obratma needs to do a TON to unite the party, unite the nation, and unite Liberals. I don't think he can. He and the media that he is the darling of have shown their sexist roots. I doubt the zebra can change its stripes…

it is over and has been for some time. The Clintons need to stop the propaganda wars and got on with reality. I think it is ashame how they have been misleading her supporters into believing they can over come. This is not problem of the party or the Obama supporters but a Clinton problem. And, it is another example why we don't want the Clinton's back in the White House.
Vote Democrat 08

MR. AMERICA asks the babbling fools who refuse to vote for anyone but Hillary to explain how she is a better candidate than Obama.
He's smarter, self-made, a better leader, has more accomplisments, and more trustworthy than the lying Clinton machine. Hillary would be a public defender somewhere if she did not marry Bill. And you all know it.

I think all those people who say Barack will not beat John in the next election are dilusional. He will win, and the country will be stunned, the same way they were stunned after Iowa.

Sidenote: I'm praying for all those people who are suffering because of weather conditions, in this country and around the world.

Obama 08

Can someone please tell me how she is able to continue being so deep in debt? How does she pay for travel, ads? Are her creditors getting paid?
Where does the money come from? Please, anyone know?

People asked why some did not like Clinton, even hate her, that is because she escaped her scandal from US justice. We Should have a protest in front of supreme court, urge no one is above law, Clinton should not be allowed to escape from US justice.

I think Fred and Ed, probably the same person, Republican for sure, remind me of the people who say that WMD's were their and that GW should have started this useless war. They just have problems facing reality! Hillary is done and her supporters do not know when to quit.

I for one have supported Hillary every step of the way.

In 2000 Obama couldn't even make it to the House of Representatives and now he's running for President. Could it be he's part of the Chicago Democratic Political Machine?

Obama endorsed Daly for Mayor of Chicago even though he was still concerned about City Hall Corruption. He supported Illinois Gov. Blagojevich whose administration is under federal investigation for hiring fraud.

In one of Obama's speeches he could no more disown his Pastor (Wright) than he could his "White Grandmother." Within weeks and I'm sure a few quick kicks in his backside from his advisors he wrote Wright off.

No thanks, I'll remain a Hillary supporter and if by chance Obama is the nomination I'll have to vote McCain.

THANK YOU Jesus, I'm so sick and tired of both Bill and Hillary's constant whining. It's like every day they take things to an all time LOW. America just needs to put them out of their misery once and for all. This is Sen. Clinton's LAST chance at the Presidency. History has proven that any one who has lost at a run for the democratic presidency is NEVER re-elected in the democratic party. Tucker said the Democratic party never supports a "loser" a second time. They just don't do it, they never forgive and support a loser no matter who they are.

So I guess this is the END of the END for the Clintons. Thank GOD. I think many of us are going bonkers just listening to Sen. Clinton's lame "I'm staying in" blues.

Hey, STAY in all you want, but you're about to go down in FLAMES and get dragged off the stage missy. It's about to get ugly…

BYE BYE HILLARY—-BYE BYE PANTS SUITS—-THANK GOD.—
OBAMA WILL BE OUR GREATEST PRESIDENT.

To Fred and all the other fanatic HC-voters.

You will not unite for Obama!
That does not matters at all!
A lot of others will!! And I am sure Hillary will fight for him.
McCain would be the most worste alternative!
Are you realy backing that man out of anger?
There will be a day when you will be verry proud of
your next president!

Obama, for the change htis world need!

With love from the Netherlands.
So many Europeans are behind him!

CLINTON/MC CAIN '08???

No wonder we lost the last two campaigns to our present idiot. We have our own idiots.

Why would anyone support McCain over Obama. REAL IDIOTS!!!!

2026 or 2209?

Once the delegates for Florida and Michigan are seated your bar moves.

Nie Try.

Awesome!!!! Congratulations!!! It's about time!!! I'll be voting for you in Florida!!!!

Hillary is still in Puerto Rico. She spent three days there. She is projected to win — that territory — by a landslide. They have delegates to the convention, but cannot vote in the GE.

It is now easy to see how she has mounted the campaign debt she has.

Mr. Clinton, with all due respect. You analysis of this campaign is so flawed, it defies logic and reason.

You lost a campaign, once, in Arkansas. So, you know — it is possible to lose a campaign. You need to convince your candidate wife that it's happened.

The Democratic Party needs to become united. It's past time.

Thank God!-The women movement can not suffer anymore dumb statements from Hillary.

Go Obama,The Women of America LOVE YOU!

You Hillary supporters seem to have a *real* hard time grasping facts. To say, "Well supers can switch their mind" is about as weak an argument as you can have. You *do* realize that means they can switch from Hillary to Obama as well, right? Kinda like they've been doing! Look at the past four months, the VAST majority are going for Obama, including those who were once committed to Hillary.

The funny thing is I actually liked the Clintons before all of this started. But she has run just about the nastiest campaign I've ever seen. Her comments last week once again prove just how incredibly devilish she is. And for those who say she wasn't wishing Obama dead, my question to you is simple: What exactly was she saying? And give a better explanation than, "Oh, the Kennedys were on her mind" because she repeated this story two times *before* Kennedy's brain cancer diagnosis. Why you guys continue to support a candidate who would wish her opponent dead is beyond me.

Previous post should have read, "Hillary has not been beat…."

This will go to convention regardless. Delegates and Supers can change their minds from now until the Credential Committee has done their thing and the votes are called at Convention. Why else bother to have a convention.? Just to have a big ego party?
Your supers will select your next nominee. Thats why they invented supers as knew the electorate was non to bright and voted on emotions.
You act as tho the President is going to do something for you personally. Big daddy?
Check out the Electoral college map. Thats what counts at the GE.
McCain 08

How can anyone support Hillary when she pretty much says that she's staying in the race in case someone shoots Obama like RFK? This is the worst fear campaigning I've ever seen. I'm sure that there are more than a few far-right radicals that would just as soon take a shot at the first female prez as they would the first black prez. The supers cannot make a decision based on what might happen to a candidate!

I think its a shame that this country, in 2008, is still as racist as it was almost a half century ago. Being an african american myself, I have to say that it is apparent there are still a great deal of people still caught up in skin color (black and white people). This is one of the reasons a lot of other countries hate the USA.In my humble opinion, Obabma has run the better campain. At first when I heard that Clinton was running, I was a supporter of hers. But all of the negative attacts, lies, and mismanagement in her own campain, led me to switch to Obama. However, if she somehow manages to beat Obama (not gonna happen), I will vote for her. Something has to give. We do need a change, and another republican in the white house will not give us the change we need as a country. Democrats voting for Mcain just because Clinton didn't win is just ridiculous to me. It just sounds like you won't vote for Obama simply because of his color and that is a shame. I'm not saying thats the case, it just sounds like it. Its time to unite the democratic party and stop all this hatred. This thing is almost over and we need to unite.

Hey John, do us a favor. Stay in Europe. You can't even vote little brother…

Deb find another cause to rally behind. THis one is over. No matter how much you chant it won't change anything.

And for you people who believe Hillary and Bill that she has the popular vote, don't forget the caucus votes. Obama won the caucus states. Even though the win only shows in number of delegates there were some votes behind them. The more votes the more delegates. So Obama got the most votes from the caususes. But I'm sure you Hillary supporters don't want to know how many votes that translates to. All I'll say it makes him win the popular even with FL and MI given to her. And the superdelegates know this.

This is how you win the primary. Most delegates (most states won and most popular vote doesn't hurt either.

IT IS OVER FOR AMERICA if OBAMA WINS!!!

THAT'S FOR SURE!!

HILLARY 08

Mike D. from San Diego May 27th, 2008 10:09 am ET

two words my fellow Obama supporters….RALPH NADER
What do I mean by this??? I’ll tell you.
A small defection of liberals from the Democratic party to Nader probably cost the Democrats the White House in 2000. What do you think a defection of Hillary Clinton supporters could do? Perhaps the same thing?
It appears that Obama is the nominee, but WE HAVEN”T WON ANYTHING!
All of this taunting of Hillary Clinton’s supporters needs to stop NOW! We need every single vote come November. The cards are already stacked enough against Obama because of the race issue. We can’t afford to alienate anyone.
Quit being a sore winner and extend your hand to your fellow Democrats who support Clinton or we can all sit together under four more years of McBush.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Too late we know you and your candidate for what you are…I a life long dem will never support or vote for oprama

Every Democrat I know personally in 4 states will NOT vote for Obama no matter what happens. We will not come together. I'm either writing in Hillary or voting McCain. I don't know anyone voting for Obama.

About time - this could have happened three months ago and saved us all a lot of time, money, and exposure to Clinton craziness.

For all the Hillary supporters. Fighting is a good thing if it gets positive things accomplished and you are principled in doing it. Too often in this country we look at things in terms of winners and losers. You can also win by losing. If you reject your principles and take the win at all coast road, then you are truly a loser. If you blame your loss on someone else other than yourself, you truly are a loser. If you stretch the truth and use innuendo in your arguments, you are truly a loser. If you place yourself above the country you are truly a loser. George Bush has placed himself above the people and this country and we have ben all losers because of it. From the way Bill and Hillary are talking, it appears they are doing the same thing. If you are good and honest and truthful person, then you are a winner in life and that is all that really matters. In the end, you must be happy with yourself and what you have done.

Clay:

I'd say MORE than half are babbling fools…

Whew, I'm exhausted from the dirty politics of Hillary Clinton, but I will get my second wind, because we need to win this—fight on Dems. We can do it.

CNN must have forgotten that the superdelegate pledges are not official until the convention and they can always change their mind before then.

Marie-Lynn - you do not know what you are talking about. Brown lost two primaries in April but if he had of won CA in June he would have kept Clinton from winning the nomination before the convention. Clinton won the CA primary and then had the delegates to cinch the nomination. Do your research before you speak.

This is just like a summer baseball game, when a player loses and blames it all on the umpires.

oh really!!!! dont love yourself so much. Im one woman out of millions who will never vote for obama. We will be staying home!!!!!

MOST INSIDERS SAY THAT AT THE DEMOACRATIC MEETING ON FRI THEY WILL SPLIT THE DELAGATES 50/50
THAT DOES NOT HELP HER AT ALL
YOU CAN NOT REWARD A STATE FOR BREAKING THE RULES OR A CANIDATE WHO SAID SHE WOULD NOT CAMPAIN THERE AND THEN DID ANYWAY SHE IS ONE LIE AFTER ANOTHER
IF WE ALLOW STATES TO MOVE UP THIER PRIMARYS WE WILL BE VOTING IN SEPTEMBER NEXT TIME

Hillary has not been beated fair and square and anyone who thinks such is downright ignorant. They are the ones who have been so susceptible to the "Obama glorification" by the news media. Hillary has been unfairly "swiftboated" by the media.

mike-you never were a democrat.you are on here every day,claiming to be a hillary supporter,we all know you are a republican troll,so,go to fox news to blog.

My goodness! this woman keeps claiming she can win the general election, when she has not been able to win only primaries, and she and Monica's boy friend never stop saying that Obama cannot win the general election. Count one before you count two, my dear Clintons.

You and Obama started this race the same day, and with many others, and day by day Obama and other wise politicians never stopped commending ur effort and tenacity and hoping you'd do something to change the trend of events.
Its Obama and his supporters against the world - Bill, Hillary, Mc Cain, Pastor Wright. Name them. Just one decent guy out there.

My message is this Hillary cannot win the white house if she cannot win the general election, even with all Bills and Obama cannot win the white house because his name is Obama. The democrats must rally behind him, to be able to do it, just like they rallied behind every other democratic president that has taken the whit house. When he wins, its the democrats that has the victory and not Obama or Mitchelle or their daughters or his supporters and Obama of all people knows that.

If Hillary wins, from the way she has been lately, she will claim she solely captured the white house because she is Hillary and then she will find a way to deal with those Supers that didn't endorse her, even worse the ones switched from her to Obama.

Americans Beware.

Supers don't count until the convention….so don't gets to excited Obamabots!!

All the way to the Convention Hillary!!!

Bill Clinton's complaining that people are trying to bully the superdelegates??? Is he joking? For months, we've heard of nothing but attempts by the Clintons to bully superdelegates and even pledged delegates.

Good on him. This has been too long in coming. Now hopefully they can unite the Democratic Party and fight for victory in November.

He ran a brilliant campaign and he deserves the nomination. He still has money, and he still has his integrity. I'd say that is the right combination for a winner.

I won't talk about Hillary anymore because this is what she wants us to do.

Regarding John McCain, Barack absolutely has the "right" to question him regarding his treatment to the soldiers, especially since he wants to keep them in the military and send them to ANOTHER war. McCain is McSame and he can run and hide from GW all he wants, they are still one in the same.

Not in a million years I will vote for Obama … I wanted Hillary because if I can't have her on the ticket… GO MCCAIN!!!

So now the country is left with either an extreme left liberal socialist, racist, anti-American, liar, typical politician, marxist , no experience or a liberal right conservative.

Think outside the box! Bob Barr 2008

Good job Obama. If I only I can find my fly-swatter to squash those two gnats (Bill & Hill) then we can go rip McCain 5 new ones to the full. Besides, Hill and Bill have another contest to gear up for, Peter Paul v. Clinton.

@ Jan from Boca Raton, FL
Oh? "so many skeletons?" Can you back that up with some proof? Or are you just spouting some propaganda you read somewhere?

MR. AMERICA also points out that Hillary is a WEAK candidate. Obama is the lesser of three evils. McCain….please. Hillary…a JOKE. Not worth a dogcatchers post. Never did anything on her own…NONE OF YOU WOULD HAVE HEARD OF HER IF NOT FOR BILL.

Firstly, the superdelegates haven't voted yet, nomatter who they currently "support" and secondly, he is only close to the CURRENT target. After the rules comittee meets on Saturday, that number might be 2210.

Axelrod is desperate to have this declared over before it's really over, because he knows that there is a real possibility of the nomination slipping away from Obama if Florida and Michigan are seated.

Mr. Axelrod and the Obama campaign have done a very good job of coordinating their resources throughout this campaign. Here's a case study note for all those going forward: sometimes you need more then just experience. Experience is only effective when the sum of the whole is included. Cheers to the Obama camp.

It's a little sad reading all of these comments from delusional Clinton supporters. She's out of the race and hasn't really had a chance for at least the last couple months. Get over yourselves, fall in line and stop trying to tear the party apart.

hahahahaha A coup within another bloodless coup.

I hope that we can all realize that this is for the greater good of our country. It is not about Hillary of Obama it is about the person who can lead us into a better place. Hillary or Obama can do that, lets not forget they believe the same things.

Unite democrates

Obama 2008

What this really means is that John McCain will win in November taking 40+ states.

as an obama supporter, i would like to extend a virtual olive branch to all of hillary's supporters (including my father). in the end, we are all democrats and in order to prevent our recession turning into a depression, our war in iraq turning into a war in iran, more of our brave soldiers returning in body bags, and gas jumping to $10 per gallon, we NEED TO UNITE and support our nominee (whomever that might be). this country cannot afford to have another republican in the white house. let's change this country for the better.
democrats 08&12!

To: Theresa,

Here's the little bit that I have learned about politics. The votes of the ruling committee has already been counted. No one goes into such meetings undecided. Axelrod has insider information and so does the Clintons, that is exactly why she is trying to gain public support. She is attempting to put pressure the committee members.

This weekend, after Friday's comments, President Carter soberly said the game is over and Hillary is out. This was not his opinion; this was a statement that he made with full knowledge of the insider information.

Everyone knows that this committee is not about to get in the way of this. This committee is not about to overturn the rules, to benefit the scorch-earth deceitful practices of the Clintons. To overturn the will of the pledge delegates would be a nightmare for the party. Her hostile behavior is not worth that risk.

Good….it's about time for this to end. Obama has won the nomination. There's no way around that.

For the last month and a half, I’ve asked myself, where is the leadership of this party? Why don’t they come out and just ask her to stop? I love the Clintons but enough is enough. What they’re doing to the democratic party is simply WRONG. I’ve given her and her supporters every benefit of the doubt but come on now. Just try to reconcile these statements from her…yes, from Hillary Clinton.
Last year when ask about the Michigan primary: “They’re voting but it’s clear to everybody that this primary WON’T count”. Now, not only they have to count it, but if they don’t, it’s undemocratic.
Hillary Clinton in February: “I don’t understand why people are putting so much emphasis on number of states won or the popular vote. In this election the only thing that matters is the number of delegates” now not only the popular vote counts but she’s also wining it if you count the votes she said shouldn’t counts to begin with.
Hillary Clinton in February: “Well, none of us will have the 2025 delegates needed to win this election, so it’ll come down to the super delegates” Now that she sees Obama, closing in 2025, the new number of delegates needed is 2210.
Hillary is simply dividing the party and making it as difficult as she possibly can for Obama to win so that she can run in 2012. How the leadership of the Democratic party don’t see that and intervene is beyond my comprehension. Just like I can’t understand how some Democrats would rather have another 4 years of George W. Bush by voting for McCain or not voting at all simply because they can’t accept that Clinton managed to lose an election that was her to lose.
Hillary, enough is enough…you LOST, it’s time to unite OUR PARTY.

WHAT A DISGRACE!

To all you Nay sayers and Obama haters….shame on you. Obama will win the nomination and he will be our next president. I'll be serving up crow over at my place in November and I'll be sure to set aside a big plate for all of you

WE CAN NO LONGER MAKE APOLOGIES FOR HILLARY CLINTON.

I would love to see a woman president– but it must be the right president regardless.

Just because Hillary Clinton will not win the nomination does not mean that people are against women. We need to turn the page, here.

Full of childish hate and ridicule.

The big problem Senator Obama will face in November is that he is not a Centrist candidate. He's a Radical. I think this has been masked by the presence of Senator Clinton. A Radical Democrat has never been elected. One only got 17 electoral votes.

I recommend doing what I did. Just tell the DNC you're changing registration to Independent. Now sit back and relax. You can do what you like in November and you don't have to worry until then.

I think people are missin the real point here….Obama does not have a enough experience….period. I'm a democrat but if he ends up against McCain…sorry to say it but he will lose and we will have to endure another term of Republican president. Clinton has a far better chance of beeting McCain. Idealy it should be a Clinton/Obama ticket. Let Obama get more seasoning as VP and after 8 years he will be ready. It would ensure dems in the white house for the next 16 years

This is so exciting! Only 49 more to go……

I for one am so looking forward to a new direction in this Country and the fresh new ideas and energy of Barack!

OBAMA 08 & 12!

There sure have been and are a number of Hillary supporters that are self-centered and close-minded.

But again, this was the very first impression I got when I had a Hillary supporter call my home asking if I was going to support Hillary. When the caller found out I was probably not going to vote for Hillary, the caller went irate and started yelling out negative comments over the phone. I just hung up on her.

At that point, I came to the conclusion that I was definately not going to support Hillary, because that caller was a reflection of Hillary.

And Hillary and a lot of Hillary's supporters have proven, over time, that my conclusion was correct.

No wonder why the country is in the shape it's in. Too many self-centered people.

More hate-mongering by the HRC supporters. We don't need you to unite behind Obama; besides, the majority will.
Those of you who stay at home or vote for McCain will be left in the wind, because Obama WILL be the next president.

HRC - just as shameless as the people who support her.

to 1926 - what a shame! we are now in 2008 and yet people like you are still spreading vile rhetoric and can only see the color of the skin, no thanks to hillary. i am a person of color and i've been discriminated many times. it did not shake my faith nor my spirit to do what is right. i've volunteered my time to help out "white" people as well as hispanics and african americans.

obama is the most qualified of the candidates we now have, the most honest and more trustworthy. he actually believe that he, with our help, can change the way our government run, if hillary had the traits of obama, i most likely would vote for her. but she doesn't and neither do you.

so, do yourself a favor, turn off the tv, turn off the radio and stop reading the papers and stick your head back in the sand.

How about Hillary running as an independant if Hussein Oblama steals the nomination!!

Not so fast! Michigan and Florida need to be counted as voted for this to be a fair democratic primary contest.
Shame on the Obama campaign for calling for Hillary to quit for months now. In rushing to stop this race they forget the 'big' states and the fact that he can't win.
I am disgusted with the DNC. They should all be fired.

We need to be united, we can not afford another minute of the McBush mantality!!!!

Tax cuts to the wealthy or well conected, more wars,

John McBush is a "pupet" please see through him!!

I am an Obama supporter, and i do not hold anything against Hillary supporters, She has fought tough and her supporters deserve respect! I would still be fighting for Obama if the tables were turned.

But again, we need to be united!!!!

Jennifer-NY

Obama and his campaign advisors have shown hillary more respect than anyone. I couldn't say the same thing About Hillary. Please explain the Carl Rove Tactics Used by Obama's campaign. Last I checked Hillary was using those tactics, she even Quoted him. Obama out campaigned her. Its that simple. You know what happens when we make decision based on emotions.

Even now, the Clintons and their supporters continue to bash Barack, as he praises her and her campaign. He has alot of integrity. He takes the high road. He is the most trustworthy. After the last elections, I thought she was going to have a little more integrity, but that lasted about a day, before she started bashing him again along with her husband. No one is calling for her to get out, except a few people, but Obama has not called for her to quit, he has said that she should stay in the race until all the states have voted. He has also said that Florida and Michagan should be included. He has never discounted those states or any states. All the spin in the world are not going to make her the nominee. There has been no bias in the media that she and her husband claim. The media only covers what is a story to them, there is no bias. Both, actually all 3 candidates have had bad press, but its because of what the candidates have said or done. She gets bad press, because she brings it on herself and no one is to blame for it but herself and her husband. This stuff about sexism, or cover-ups, or what ever is a joke. She has not ran a good campaign, she has been extremely negative. She could have taken the high road and gone out on a positive note, but she continues on her negative campaign, and will go out as a negative candidate. Its too bad, but no one has done it to her, except herself.

Every Obama supporter who claims Hillary has no business fighting is just talking out of both sides of their bum. If Obama was behind 200 delegates and only 250K in the popular vote (without FL and MI), would they be telling him to get out? Doubt it. And if you do the numbers, Obama has just over 50.5 % of the democratic vote (popular vote). I wouldnt want to count on just over 50% of your own party in a general vote. The last time we counted the delegates/electoral votes and not the popular vote, we got this current president. Whether hillary wins or not, the rules need to be changed. popular vote should be ALL that matters.

If the DEMACRATES have any intention of getting elected to the white house then the nomnee has to be CLINTON if it is not then you will probley never see the white house ever again except in pictures or if you drive by.

there is so much skull duggery going on in your DEM. party that it is very doughtfull that the AMERICAM people just don't trust your party any more.

It appears CNN has achieved its goal of putting Obama in the Democrat seat. They have really hijacked our presidential election by denying publicity to other candidates and glorifying Obama. There is something very wrong behind this campaign–someone/some group with enormous power wants Obama in office. We all have better be shivering with dread.

Axelrod is costing Obama the white women vote. By the way I watch the BBC for real news. CNN is nothing more than an entertainment channel

I agree! Stop it with all the elementary bickering! Unification is the only way we can win this election! Democrat supporters please keep in mind that since you've become so obsessed with your own candidate (Clintonites and Obamaina) this fight is for OUR FUTURE NOT the imagery of both candidates 1st black or 1st woman!!

Democrats you all have made this race extremely bitter with all the negative comments and the labeling of people with the media being the ring leader! This is all a ploy to keep us divided and guess what it's working!!!!!

So, if you are amongst the democrats who've decided that you will flip over to Republican and vote for McCain if you're desired candidate doesn't clinch the nominee then……
SHAME ON YOU!!!! YOU BIASED DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God, then all the postering will finally be over, and we can get on with the business at hand—beating John McCain in November. We will finally be able to focus on some important issues–healthcare, the war, the economy, etc.

I wish the supers would come out and end it this week. I don't even want to wait until June, after the garbage put out by the Clintons over the weekend. Hillary, Bill, and their entire merry band need to be removed from the national stage before they say something that results in irreparable damage to a candidate, or our country. They are headed down that path already, and need to be removed from the cameras and microphones immediately.

By Jesse Jackson Jr. January 19, 2006
"Fighting for human and constitutional rights is a theme, and a strategy, that could keep Democrats together for the next fifty years, election after election. It's time to begin a lofty fight to add the right to vote to the Constitution–and paint a truer picture of most Republicans as undemocratic. It's time to stand up and insure every American's right to vote to have that vote fully protected and to have it fairly counted."

So let me get this straight. Jesse Jackson Jr. says that most Republicans are undemocratic. Hmmm….I bet Abe Lincoln would have had something to say about that. JJ Jr. lumps, every single Republican together, gee that sounds like prejudice to me. He said the Democratic party should rule for 50 years. Gee, that's interesting. So he's saying that there should be no other party than the Democrats. I could have sworn the Soviet union had the same idea. Didn't work out to well for them though did it. JJ Jr. is an idiot.

FINALLY! I cannot tell you how many people I have discussed the Dem Primary with have ALL said that when they see or hear HRC on tv or radio, they have to change the station. A very diverse group of people stated yesterday at a party I attended said she really is sickening and we all agreed to stop discussing her as to not ruin a beautiful day.

From an outsider's point of view,some much has taken place during this contest,the race to the white house.Foreign policies are the indicators of what one's nation intend to achieve and how they intend to reach political and economical goals.over the last four decades,another of nation have developed a ill feeling towards the US,yet different admnistrations have through a number ways provided positive contributions in fighting AIDS and various other problems,however the current bitterness and political silly season's attitude displayed by the Clinton campaign have sent a clear message to the world:politicians are all the same the say one thing yet the mean an other. Obama trully represent change, to be endorsed by Ted Kennedy ,who is well respected by the current president and also by senator McCain means :change can not be ignored.

When Obama loses in November don't blame the Clinton's. Blame your empty suit candidate.

How to be a a PROUD democrat and support your "guy"–

1. Hillary Clinton is vile, selfish, incoherent, and lies through her teeth. How can anyone in America vote for a person like that?

2. Take some garlic Hillary

3. She and her husband Billy Bob are delusional now

4. let us heal from the Clintons. I wish there was a pill to erase them from our memories

5. All Hillary supports who spew hate

6. You Clintonites are just as hateful and nasty

And this is "CHANGE from the politics as usual? HOW?!

Billary's tactics have failed…. the race card, the crying game, the "fake it til you make it - we are ahead" nonsense, and oh, now… there's a LEFT WING CONspiracy!!! Of course, there HAS to be…… a RIGHT WING CONspiracy took away Bill's presidency (not the fact that he LIED under oath about THAT woman). Oh no she didn't and oh yes he did!!!!

Obama 08

To Kamenwati and others who are thinking that Republicans are posting divisive comments on these blogs:

Look up the word "paranoid" in the dictionary, then look in the mirror. We don't need to post divisive comments; as has become abundantly clear, Democrats are no more saintly than Republicans. You're quite able to be divisive on your own.

For those who said they don't understand how the Clinton supporters can still be saying she will win. Well when she claims her supporters are poor and uneducated thats the explanation. They're too stupid to understand so just believe what she says without question which is just how she likes it.

Really doesn't matter who wins the nomination. The Dems have made such a circus of this, neither will go the WH.

OBAMA and his team have run an excellent. Hillary supporters should look at the overall picture and really think about what a vote for McCain would do. I am a strong Obama supporter and I would have voted for Hillary in the general if she had won the primary.
Obama as the right judgment for America.

No real Democrat will vote for McCain. Most of the negative comments are from Republicans who want to divide us.

Hillary has fought a good fight. Obama's run a brilliant campaign.

United we win! Yes, we can!

I agree! Stop it with all the elementary bickering! Unification is the only way we can win this election! Democrat supporters please keep in mind that since you've become so obsessed with your own candidate (Clintonites and Obamaina) this fight is for OUR FUTURE NOT the imagery of both candidates 1st black or 1st woman!!

Democrats you all have made this race extremely bitter with all the negative comments and the labeling of people with the media being the ring leader! This is all a ploy to keep us divided and guess what it's working!!!!!

So, if you are amongst the democrats who've decided that you will flip over to Republican and vote for McCain if you're desired candidate doesn't clinch the nominee then……
SHAME ON YOU!!!! YOU BIASED DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Supporters- Think of Obama as the person who is going to send her home to save YOU from her lies, complaining, and her pandering. You can thank us later.

HEY ALL YOU OBAMA LOVERS. DONT START CRYING WHEN HE SCREWS THIS WORLD UP MORE THAN IT IS. HE IS NOTHING BUT A PREACHER. i SUPPOSE ALL YOU BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS TOO.

MR. AMERICA has many friends in Florida who STAYED HOME because they knew their votes DID NOT COUNT! PATHETIC!

Did it ever occur to anyone that even with Florida and Michigan delegations being counted, with only 49 delegates needed, Obama will still be within a handfull of the remaining 200 or so superdelegates for the nomination?

It may have had an effect a few weeks back before the May primaries, but now it really doesn't matter.

I sure hope Barack wins soon. I used to have so much respect for the Clintons, but now they're either making me angry or making me laugh. I had no idea how silly they were.

I cannot believe how stupid Hillary thinks everyone is. Just look at the list of excuses she has for not winning:

Sexism
Michigan and Florida (rules she agreed to earlier are suddenly unfair)
Caucus states
Media bias for Obama
Bill Clinton's mouth
Bill Clinton's scandals
The entire Democratic nomination process

Here are the 4 REAL reasons why Hillary is losing:

Mismanaged campaign from the start
Underestimated her opponent
Ran out of money
Caught in too many lies

Hillary will never admit what her real problems are. Instead, she rallies her supporters around phony injustices to keep them angry over NOTHING.

as an obama supporter, i would like to extend a virtual olive branch to all of hillary's supporters (including my father). in the end, we are all democrats and in order to prevent our recession turning into a depression, our war in iraq turning into a war in iran, more of our brave soldiers returning in body bags, and gas jumping to $10 per gallon, we NEED TO UNITE and support our nominee (whomever that might be). this country cannot afford to have another republican in the white house. let's change this country for the better.
democrats 08&12!

He has not clenched anything, maybe jerry-rigged if you catch my drift.

How is Obama no longer viable?

Let me list the ways…..

Too Left Wing-Moderates and Conservatives will NEVER vote for him!

Too Hateful-his campaign and those that support him are HATE baiters and enough sound bytes are available that he will be swift boated on it.

Too Inexperienced-No experience at all!

Too Wimpy-He can't even debate! The constant stuttering is alloying! And a sure sign of a liar!

Too much Cheating-the Republicans will again be able to Swift boat him with the "Funny" Business his campaign has used to get ahead.

Too much of Witch of a Wife-No one wants this horrible women as their First Lady-especially after you watch the video of her talking about "Whitie" another certain Swift boat!

Hillary 08

I have another name for Axelrod, but I can't use it here!!! :) :)

okay lets go finally an end to all this madness so come onhillary supporters lets go jump on the obama express to the white house and lets get together unite support obama and keep mcsame out of the white house before any more damage is done to us or our country come on folks i know you can do it you dont really want mccain deep down you know it now lets go here is our chance to defeat and win you all know hillary will end up supporting obama come on dems lets get over the prims and on to the ge lets go get the white house!!!!!!!!!!

THE LADY THAT CALLS HERSELF "1926″, PLEASE GO BACK TO 1926 WHERE U BELONG. AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE… STAY THERE.

Clinton supporters really are idiots.

Dear Fred:

As a native New Yorker, I switched from a registered Independent to a Registered Democrat……. just so I could vote for Obama .

ANYBODY BUT HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MR. AMERICA is AMAZED at you pathetic Hillary supporters.

SHE IS NOT A WORTHY CANDIDATE BY ANY MEANS!

RODE ON BILL'S COATAILS! CARPETBAGGER! DOES NOT HAVE "35 YEARS" of ANYTHING! YOU PEOPLE ARE MORONS!

Ewwwww do we HAVE to look at David Axelrod, CNN?? Yucko! His looks do match his horrible personality though.

We are finally going to get rid of the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton dynasty. They have had their time in the sun now it is the American people that will be in the sunlight, finally.

additional thought: Obama supporters always seem to stoop to the name calling and personal slander on the Clintons. They all go crazy if one negative thing is said about their candidate, and heaven forbid you even mention his spouse. Oh but Bill is always fair game. This elitist attutude of Obama, his campaign, and truly his follwers is what makes it so difficult for me to throw my support behind him even if he is the nominee. I truly think we're shooting ourselves in the foot again as a party: nominating yet another candidate that is so unelectable in the states we need, that we will lose yet another general election that seems unlosable. It seems we're the only party that could lose a one man race.

Message to Deb who wrote that Hillary would be the person for the Democrats - are you on cheap drugs? this thing is over, regardless of what tired old cheating Bill says or what the delusional Hillary clings to.

Geeee.., I wonder what Clinton's aides say about that!!??

All you Obamabot kool-aide drinkers will see this grand country of ours go to heck in a handbasket if for some insane reason he gets elected. If he does claim the nomination McCain will likely become president. There are a lot of Hillary supporters that see through Obamas BS and would never vote for him.

Hillary '08 '12

Not so Fast………………mr obama………wait until all votes are counted
if you do win the nomination ,and even if you put Mrs Clinton as vicepresident ..
Me and my family will vote for the first time republican and our 28 votes will go for McCain ………….

# Jennifer in NY

Hom, are you aware that Rove has been advising HILLARY??? So just WHO is using Rove's playbook, eh?
And if her campaign wasn't the very epitome of nastiness and divisiveness, then this is not 2008 and we are not living in America but some altered universe somewhere.

There will be so much that comes out about the weaknesses of John McCain that it won' t be a contest. His prisoner of war badge will only carry him so far - there is a reason why he lost in 2000 to George W.; those items will all surface again. McCain is too unstable to withstand the scrutiny that will come with a general election.

Wait and see…

Why the rush???-Let's all go to the convention-this is a Democracy-remember half of all Dems want HRC-Some of these young kids have never seen a convention-quite boring if he thinks he should be the nom.

He'll never beat McCain…anyway-Obamabots-you've trashed HRC too many times to help supporters hop the fence and "Come on Board" as you all say-you're immature and negative posting have helped to make up my mind-never will I vote for a novice!

Hillary supporters never cease to amuse me, or amaze me with their ignorance of the facts. PUERTO RICO is a Commonwealth, and they govern their own internal affairs with an elected Governor. They don't pay US taxes, they don't get most federal funds that go to States, and THEY DON'T GET TO VOTE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

Why they are even involved in the nomination process is beyond me.

well as long as the Democrats take office, it doesn't matter,

THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA can not afford another term of the republicans, an un-just war, an economy headed for disaster and gas prices approaching $5.00 a gallon,

We need to be united!!! if you want change if not, then no-ome has any room to be disgruntled, when our dollar is worth less, and we are fighting another war with no end in sight, because McBush wants to take on Iran next, so he can "flex" his millitary muscle!!

Obama'08

SHUT HILLARY UP…. god what a whiny miserable person she is… I will NEVER EVER vote for this old hag. Can you imagine listening to her and Bill whining and complaining about everything for 4 years?

Funny how NOTHING is her fault, huh? Sounds far too much like Bush

Deb, don't be a sore loser… Sen Obama is way more viable than Sen Clinton as a candidate. Please, let's stop playing the victim card and unite.

Obama + democrats 08

I heard a rumor that the superdelegates all want to be the final one that seals it for Obama expect a rush in the next couple of days

"gus May 27th, 2008 10:21 am ET

Unfortunately, Obama can't win against McCain. Obama has very few qualifications."

———————————————-

I think it's a toss-up. You're right, Obama has little experience. But it was the experienced people (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.) that got us into this mess in the first place.

You see, Cheney and Rumsfeld were experienced in Cold-War politics, which didn't apply to terrorism. So Nobody has much experience with terrorism - not even John McCain.

Next, add the fact that 80% of the American public want this war to end. McCain is going to have a tough time to convince 30% of those people to change their minds. I think Obama has a real chance because of this.

Lastly, if his lack of experience was such a big issue, Hillary should have creamed him. Instead, he beat her. Go figure!

Go ahead count those chickens before they hatch. No Hillary then McCain '08

Hillary Clinton will get less votes, if she ever again campaigns for the presidency. A big show was made by lots of Democrats of supporting her, when in fact they could barely tolerate her. It's been like the fairy tale about The Emperor Who Had No Clothes - influential people claimed to support something they privately didn't. Once this position was challenged, it fell to ashes. True feelings about Hillary will show, when this election is over. The Democratic Party will look for a different woman leader, hopefully someone much better.

It's funny how Clinton supporters continue to ignore the fact that she has been trying to change the rules along the way (rules that she and Obama both agreed to at the beginning). What kind of message does this convey to America? It says that she will continue to blame everyone else for her failed campaign instead of herself.

If Clinton thinks she can still win, is it possible that her logic has something to do with her reference to Robert Kennedy?

Jim,

The reason will so many superdelegates are on the side is out of respect for Bill and Hillary. Those undeclared superdelegates understand that the Clinton could devastate the Democratic Party by fighting till the convention.

Hillary's argument of winning Puerto Rico (which doesn't vote in the general election) has no weight. Hillary will claim the popular vote totals as part of her argument. The only voting contests left that matter are Montana and South Dakota, in which Obama leads in the polling.

Without a doubt if Obama wins both Montana and South Dakota on June 3rd, undeclared superdelegates will jump to Obama at rate of 20 to 30 per day to push him over the finish line to clinch the Democratic nominaton by June 6th!

Obama in 2008!

People keep blaming the division within the Democratic party on the Clintons. I dont really, I think the blame should be directed at both: (1) The Superdelegates - for still not coming out for Obama even after it is clear he will be the nominee, and (2) Hillary's supporters - for not realizing that this election is bigger than them, or Hillary, or anyone else! What even bothers me more, is the women supporting Hillary, cause they see her as a victim or an underdog, or because they 'think' theyre feminists. Hillary was never the underdog, Hillary was never the victim, and feminism is based on strength and grace, not playing the im a victim please help me Bill (a male, i tihnk, ask Monica). Wake up!!!

woohoo go Obama!

All i can say is i hope there is another choice when the pres. election comes. McCain or Obama/Clinton will run this country in the ground. Americans need to get back to their christian roots and take a stand.

Okay, I am from Michigan. And as a michigander let me say that the votes should not be counted as they were cast. I think everyone is forgetting that Barack Obama's name was not on the ballot so those who wanted to vote for him could not. Is it not suppressing the voice of the people to have had only one of the viable candidates on the ballot. If they wish to do it fairly thy should do a revote but they should not cast these votes as is.

Obama is the only hope people in the world can count on. The high oil price (resulting gas sky rocketing), food shortage, tremendous increase in crime and terror everywhere in the world, creating fear within people of different faiths, what else… they are adding up every day, somebody has to stop this madness.
God bless and help you Obama to succeed on November election and save the world from this gangs that they have taken over white house for last eight years and the other gang that trying to squeeze themselves by hook or crook into Whitehouse

I think this should go all the way to the convention! This is what a democratic convention is to pick our leaders. Make the popular vote count and stop all this I have more than you fighting!

DO OUR VOTES COUNT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DONT KNOW ANY DELEGATES AND THEY DONT SPEAK MY FEELINGS!

GO ALL THE WAY HILLARY!

Hillary Clinton has soiled the process and made the Democratic party look like Keystone Cops.

It is time for her to admit defeat and rally around the nominee. No she cannot be VP because she has stated that Senator Obama is not fit to be the President and if that were true how could she now serve in his administration?

John McCain is the easiest Republican in history to defeat. He has embraced the failed policies of the Bush administration and he is incapable of seeing that America is NOT in good shape at the moment.

Don't let the fear mongers and racists fool you, Americans will ALWAYS vote for their economic interests first and John McCain has no answers when it comes to stopping this economic free fall that we are currently in.

Obama cannot and will not win. If it can't be Hilary. GO MCCAIN!!!!

For those that say "Take it all the way to the convention!"…Do you realize that if that happens, then the Democrats will only have 2-3 months to campaign? You are idiots for saying things like that.

Register as a Republican or……sit down and be quiet.

Obama has abided by the rules and run an impressive campaign, contrast that with the shambles and debt riddled Clinton team. Their scorched earth strategy and bizarre accusations, such as Bill's "cover up" charge are distasteful to say the least.

As much as I wanted Hillary to be nominated - I support Obama 110% and am very happy for him - he deserves it.

Obama 2008!

I don't care… you could nominate a toaster for the democratic ticket and I'd vote for it. We need an end to the Bush-Rove-Republican dictatorship! Vote Obama, Clinton, or Toaster… just don't vote McCain.

Let's not fight each other. Instead, lets rally together and support the winner of the nomination.

If Obama wins the nomination, he will need the support of all democratic americans even the HRC supporters.

Let's not put McCan't, McBush, or whatever you want to call him in the White House in November.

DEMS in 08

Hey Obama is half white/half black. He could have came out white on the outside. Would that make a difference to some of these voters?

The decision about seating the MI and FL delegates will be made before the final primaries……and they will be seated according to the actual votes if the outcome is fair. This will increase the number of delegates to be reached to clinch the nomination. What does Axelrod know that we don't know? Is the strongarming of the superdelegates working?
Recently Obama has been condescending in praising Hillary " for breaking the barriers for women". This man has got to be really out of touch! The women are just fine, thank you very much. It is the testosterone bunch that are making, changing and controlling the rules of the game that is suspect. Obama 's mouth is working hard to get Hillary's supporters to come to his side, but he must be brain-dead to believe this.
It won't happen! Hillary has been dissed so badly, WE THE WOMEN who support her will be watching her back all the way to the convention, if necessary.

Obama will provide leadership to the economic problems we have now, and give tax payers solid relief from the bog corporations who don't care about the American public and only care about their profits, golden parachutes, big bonuses. the remaining 200 super delgates will join and support him when South Dakota puts him over the top.

Too bad…the day he becomes the nominee, the day Hillary concedes (which I hope she doesn't), as a lifelong democrat - I will leave the party.

I will vote for McCain.

I can't stand Obama and would never vote for him.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! Bill… you've fooled the American public once (oh, how I trusted you and defended you against all odds) but you've lost your chance, so it is time for you to stay quite and let your wife do her own talking. I thought she was a feminist but why is she not standing on her feet and defending her case instead of having you do the dirty talk for her? So much for feminism. If Hillary will define feminism then I guess I will have to go find another definition for who I am. I'd never run to my husband crying when things don't go right for me. I'd look at myself, my failures, my short comings before I blame anyone else. This is what feminism is that is to stand up on your own even against yourself for the purposes of self-evaluation. This woman is anything but feminist, really.
