CNN

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.

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

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

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.

@ JenniferIf you read the "Issues" section on both Obama's and Clinton's web sites, you would see they are nearly identical on the issues overall. So if you're still not convinced about Obama....why are you supporting Hillary when her platform is nearly identical? The difference between them lies in character and ability to be a unifying force in DC. Hillary just doesn't cut it in either category.

Hillary AGREED, IN WRITING!!! that the Florida and Michigan votes would not count. There is no way that the DNC will give Hillary more than a 10 point delegate advantage on Friday. There is no way she can win, other than in her Hillary in Wonderland world. Frankly, I don't care who some of the ill-informed people vote for. Let's see Hillary win without the African-American voters who put her husband in the White House. I can't believe that some of these people are stupid enough to believe that the DNC, which approved the rules , will now change them to please Hillary. Florida and Michigan will be seated, but you can count on close to a 50/50 split which will Not affect the outcome! Obama won, fair and square!

I certainly hope that his opponent does something to get him to the White House, and I don't mean as his VP. She has turned a lot of us off with her "win at any cost" attitude. This is the year for the Democrats to add credibility back to the nation's highest office.
We might want to know what the energy policy Bush's VP worked on 7 seven years ago with "Big Oil".

No one has the right to tell me who I must get behind. Obama may get the nomination , but he will never get my vote. I know he hates sentor clinton cause she didnt bow down to him, and all his praises of her are not genuine, just like he is not genuine.

I can't believe any Democrat will not vote in November to end 4 more years of Bush. This is a democracy and there were rules. The rules clearly state delegates for the primary. Clinton and Obama agreed to these rules when running and in fact are on tape saying this. Why would anyone not vote for someone who won the delegates by playing by the rules. As a woman, I am apalled that anyone would either stay home or vote for McCain. Women's rights will certainly be overturned by him and Supreme Court justices will be replaced with very conservative justices. The time is now to unite this party. No matter who you have supported, we must get behind our nominee.

End the division and 4 more years of Bush.

Sen. Obama is not a risky bet. I think you'll see many people voting for him in the election. Yes, Sen. Clinton did also battle well, but the numbers say she lost.The question is why have the superdelegates waited so long, are they hostage to their vote?

I think Obmama ran a wonderful campaign for nomination and deserves this. This is a white, middle aged , educated female speaking in NYS.

How can CNN let this gargbabe into the blog?

"Independent May 27th, 2008 10:09 am ET

Lets just hope Hillary does not get lucky and Obama gets offed before he declares victory. Wink-wink"

Finally, the news can get interesting again. This portion of the election has been over except for the kicking and screaming for a while now.

And another thing...if I'm not mistaken, there is no "right" to vote in a primary protected by the constitution. Primaries are run by political parties, which themselves are separate entities from the government, and therefore voting in their primaries is not explicitly protected by any law. For all we know, the Democrats could get together tomorrow and say Mickey Mouse is the nominee, and there's nothing we can do about it except not vote for him in November.

So PLEASE lay off all this whining about "votes being surpressed" or "rights being violated" or blah blah blah. Rules were agreed to, violated, and policy is being upheld. It's not Obama's fault he followed the rules his party put forward and he AND Hilldog agreed to.

Obama supporters keep on bashing and being nasty as you usually are. The more you, the pundit's and the politicians supporters do it each and every day–the more you confirm why HRC supporters SHOULD NOT support BHO! Your arrogance and superiority speaks volumes. Just like you don't what Bill in the WH we don't want Michele in the WH!! And to those switching to BHO–glad you are not my friend. True family and friends do not abandon you when the road gets rough. They support you and encourage you until the end!

sorry Deb i see you have been tricked by the Clinton camp in believing that a popular vote is going to win the Dem nomination, this is far from the truth. They've told you that new count is 2209 or something like that again you are mis-informed by the Hill Camp , they are saying and doing anything to pull the wool over folks eyes who can't accept that she lost fairly and squarely. Frankly i dont care if the seat Mich and Fl she will still lose, they can't help her now.

The reasons some super delegates have yet to commit is they don't want to run the risk of upsetting the Clinton's, who have a track record of holding a grudge. That is very well known – take Gov. Bill Richardson for example. Huge friend of the Clinton's until he endorsed Obama. Now they call him all sorts of names and can't believe they ever had anything to do with him.

What has puzzled me throughout this whole agrument that Hillary presents, "I am more electable", is if you are such a dynamo and the people love you soooooooooooooo much, WHY AREN'T YOU WINNING? Beat Obama first....then you have unequivocal proof of electablility.

TO,
ALL HILLARY SUPPORTER WHO STILL FEEL THEY COULD WIN. REMEMBER ONE THING NO ONE CAN DEFEAT PEOPLES HOPE.

SO GIVE IT UP AS YOUR LEADER WILL DO AFTER JUNE 3.

YOUR EVERY EXPECTATION WILL BE DEMOLISHED.

GET HOME AND VOTE OTHER CANDIDIATE. OBAMA SUPPORTER DONT LIKE YOU PEOPLE.

OBAMA 08.

As always Obama goes by his own scale. It is very clear that he is sure MI & FL aren't going to be counted. If they are he will not have the numbers needed. I would think that the President of The USA would want every vote counted but obviously he only wants what is good for himself. I hope that he enjoys running for president based on unfair numbers. His dream will be over 11/4 when the country casts their votes and Obama can't interfere with the end result. No matter who winds the democratic nomination it should not be decided without MI & FL. and no body she feel that is not right. Believe me the voters of MI & FL know Obama and the DMC is the sole reason their votes aren't counted. He refused a revote or to count the votes that were certified. I don't live in either of the states but Obama showed me what he was made of when he is fighting MI & FL. He will loose in Novemeber and deserves just that

Where does Obama and his people get off trying to declare victory before we settle the dispute about Michigan and Florida? Don't these states count? These two states must be resolved before any candidate can declare themselves the winner. Doing so before these states are resolved, would make Obama the illegitimate nominee and he would be no better than what many Democrats consider Bush to be from 2000. For Obama to do this, to discount and ignore the will of the voters in these two states flies in the face of everything that is American. If Obama should declare himself the winner without the MI and FL issue resolved, and should the DNC "appoint" him the nominee, then the people in FL and MI will pay Obama back by voting in overwhelming numbers for John McCain in November. Obama will only suck up to those states if he thinks he needs them to win but he will do nothing for them now to have their voices heard. Obama is systematically destroying our democracy by preventing the people of FL and MI from having their say in who they want to be the Democratic nominee. This is so Anti-American it is unbelievable.

Phil-Little Rock:

RIGHT ON! I completely feel you!

Great COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People hate her more now than when she started this election. The vote from uneducated people, including women will not be enough to win if she is planning to run again. Hillary and her uneducated supporters claiming she is the best candidate because of her core group. If her group is so large, how come she lost so bad. Well, you people are uneducated and don't know any better. Thank goodness educated people are participating in this election. Else, uneducated people would have pick another trailer trash person for president. America need a very educated person in the highest office. Hillary supporters, go back to school and finish your education. Maybe, after getting a college degree, you will understand why educated people are not supporting her. We see through her in a way that you don't. This election proved that education is very very important in order to make a good decision.

I wish a woman with a personality like Caroline Kennedy will run next time. Not this trailer trash Hillary Clinton with the lowest form of personality.

Hillary is done, the Clintons are done, its the start of a new era, an Era of Clinton free politics, boy its great to be an American right now and know our future is about to be secured with a Clinton free political system and free of the Bushes and McSame its just a matter of time before your just a footnote in history too. Big Smiles all around;-)

dee-

"......HC is creating so much hate for Obama......."??????

Obviously you haven't paid close attention to the blogs, comments and media bias. The nastiness coming from the Obama camp is inexcusable. This divide will not be closed by November....you can count on it. Clinton supporters have had it with the lopsided coverage, superdelegates piling on before the primaries are over, etc, etc. Too bad....we're looking at another Republican administration. And, all we had to do is be nice to one another. I admit there was/is vitriolic remarks from both camps, but, the kind of venom spewed toward Senator Clinton I have never seen before. Democrats grow up!

For all of you who say the "majic number will change after May 31" I have two things to say. 1) Glad you show you are up on politics it is comforting to know that people still follow the news even if they do not understand it all. 2) yes the number will change, but so will BOTH the delegates number for Mr. Obama and Ms. Clinton, and even if she were given ALL the delegates from both states and he was given NONE he would still lead he in total delegates won therefore he would still lead going into the final three selection processes. (Note these are NOT elections folks they are selections and therefore Fl and MI did not lose their "right" to vote, voting rights are only for ELECTIONS not SELECTIONS). The most likely outcome will be some split of delegates, most likely favoring Ms. Clinton because the squeaky wheel gets the grease no matter how unjustified. However Mr. Obama will still lead in total delegates and I suspect, once the DNC has appeased the Clintons, more Superdelegates will come out and support Mr. Obama (will a few token for Ms. Clinton to end her husband's talk of a "GREAT DNC CONSPIRACY"). In the end it will be Mr. Obama, but I do think it was a bit early to make this announcement.

JIM
what is it with hillary that the supers are'nt backing her in droves? it goes both ways

In January Hillary said that Florida and Michigan won't count. She can't change the rules now. She should stand by her words from January and give up the race. She can't win.

Obama in '08.

Obama has run a superior campaign, worked hard for each and every delegate, even after all the Hill campaign threw at him. He has won this contest fair and square and kept above the fray while Bill and Hill were out putting us into categories like hard working americans, white americans,latte drinking elitists, over educated, sexists, etc...Now we are hearing of coverups and people trying to push Hillary out of the contest. Doesn't sound like fighting to me, sounds like playing the victimization card now.

FL and MI broke the rules. They suppressed their own vote before it was even taken. They should have stayed home on election day. Now they are being crybabies, and worse, calling it voter suppression. If Hillary was down in those states she would be saying just the opposite about their votes. It is just the way she is. Period.

Mike D. from San Diego:

Nader did not cost Gore the election in 2000. Neither did Bush.

Bill Clinton cost Gore the election! Because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Gore refused to let Bill Clinton anywhere near his campaign. Gore couldn't even win his home state of Tennessee!

Do you see the pattern? The same Bill Clinton also cost his wife's nomination. She may be the best candidate, but Bill screwed it up for her, too!

With the new strategy that Hillary and Bill have chosen, this primary has to end soon. It amazes me that these two can continually change the outcome needed to win the primaries. Most delegates, then more popular votes, then more swing states, then more big states, then more popular votes excluding caucusses. They agree to a set of rules at the beginning of the primaries and then try to change them, like Michigan and Florida would not count and now she says that they should and that the winner would be the candidate with the most delegates. It is also funny that they are trashing the system that allowed her husband to win the candidacy for the democrats 16 years ago.
I have read here too many times comments like "how can you say that about the Clintons after all they have done for the democratic party'. The Clintons did not do it for free, they have gotten alot more out of it then they have put in. Her supporters arrogant ttitudes that she should have been crowned just because she is a woman or because she is a former first lady are a joke. Clinton started this process with an almost insurmountable lead, and then ran one of the worst campaigns ever to get where she is now.
How can people who support Hillary crucify Obama for Rev Wright or comments that his wife made with all of the scandals the Clintons have been and are still involved in? Bill Clinton talks about the lack of respect Hillary has received from the press, but what about the lack of respect he showed her 10 years ago. Clinton suppoters say that Bill and Monica is off limits because it was a private matter, fine. But lets look at his actions after that. He talks about honesty and a cover up to defeat Hillary, but how many times did he lie and try to cover it up to the American people. This is honesty? A president who was almost impeached and was eventually censured because he could not keep it in his pants should not be lecturing anyone about honesty, integrity or a cover up.

Neither of the two major parties stand for anything but their own power.
Look for a party that would truly represent you and vote for them.
Only our own ignorance and fear holds us back from truly changing the United States for the better.

The rules of the game say you have to win the most delegates–not anything else Bill and Hillary.

Obama will be a great president.

Here in NY we need to recall our junior senator.

No more Hillary & or Billaray, Thank God, We couldn't take much more of those two crooks showing their ugly faces. But what about the loosers that backed them, poor unfortunate souls, who will they support now, of cousre ,the next looser in line Obama, and the moronafobia keeps on keepin on.

It will be such a relief when the Clintons finally accept the fact that they are in second place. Bill Clinton seems to think they deserve whatever they want. The amorality of the Clinton tag team is such that there is no merit in their argumentt. How can they claim as theirs a prize that is out of their reach. I am one of those female senior citizen Democrats who do not support the machinations of a very ruthless couple who will do and say anything to help themselves get more power and money. This country deserves more honesty from the people it elects. We need to furrlough all of the Wolfsons, Penns and Ickes. They seem to like being around crooks, thugs and dictators. How about not allowing all of them, and all of the lobbyists no access to any property that is government owned. I find it totally sickening that they roam around the White House and the Capitol with no control, while I am no longer allowed the access citizens had before the corruption of our government. This 'grand experiment' needs some cleaning up and we need lots of Obamas in a row, and a big turnover in Congress for us to return to a government of, by and for the people.

Don't bother being nice to the Hillary supporters. All you nasty people have already done the damage. We will never support Nobama. We will write in Hillary and that clown of yours will go down in history as one of the biggest losers. I bet he only wins a couple of states and that will be from black vote only. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha....
GO HILLARY – ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION.

And one last thing, there is no CNN conspiracy to silence certain voices. If you don't get posted, try again because I highly doubt CNN really cares which candidate wins as long as they get high ratings.

HRC supporters really show their low level of education. The nomination is sealed with delegates-not popular vote. Yes, superdelegates make up the difference BUT none of them have given those supporters any cause to believe they will support HRC. In fact, they have come out publicly and said they will follow the candidate leading in delegates and they have aligned behind Obama in droves. HRC is feeding them a delusional world and they are so dumb they buy into it. She is only staying in the race to pay that debt off. Obama is the nominee!!!

For everyone who is against Obama, you guys DO realize that he will most likely have her in his cabinet?? It's not like he's going to ignore her, he will use her in whatever position he thinks she will do the most good.
You also need to look at how the campaigns were run, she has long said she was ready from day one, clearly she wasn't. Obama was and is always one or two steps ahead of everything that is going on. If Hillary ran the country the way she ran her campaign we'd all be in trouble. Obama is a smart guy, he knows that he alone can not do this. If he doesn't give her the VP spot, he will give her some other high ranking position, no doubt about it.

Obama has earned the nomination, despite what Hillary supporters will say. Most of her support are bitter women anyways...much like their candidate. Call it sexist, I don't care...it's the truth. There will be a female president one day, but Hillary Clinton is THE WORST possible candidate for that. She is bitter, vile, fake, and is the one who is truly bringing Karl Rove tactics into the race. She appeals to women and the ignorant who latch on to what they feel is a "safe bet" because her last name is Clinton. Good riddence to her, she is exactly what the Democratic party doesn't need.

NO you cant do that,48 states cant give you nomination,you are sealing the nomination.

YOU CANT DO ANYTHING YOU ARE GWB's third term.

I.P.

is threats all you have. sounds just like hillary.
listen to you hillary supporters. you are not for the dem party, you are for the woman.
grow up this is not a beauty contest. it is for the most important office in the world and is a serious matter not a soap opera

The Bill campain in 1992 was over in april 1992 and not june. An other misspoken from Hillary.. Anything she say anything...

HA....HA
This is great, don't you think!! I sure do. We are very close Obama Nation, so do not give up hope! FL and MI will be seated but it will NOT change the outcome hillbots; sorry. My question is what are you going to do when FL and MI get seated and they do not change the results. Are you going to run to Mcbush because your horse did not win? Even so, Obama Nation will win NOW and we will WIN in the general!!!

FYI, Obama needs only 49 more delegates to reach the magic number! The supers are flying in!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES HE WILLLL!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOBBBBAAAMAAA '08!!

Anyone who voted for Hillary Clinton should have no problem lining up behind Barack Obama. Those who claim to think he's a misogynist are liars, because there's no reason to believe that about Obama and not about Bill Clinton, who has done far more misogynistic things. Those who claim that they'd vote only for Hillary or John McCain shouldn't be voting for Hillary, anyways, since no one who agrees with Hillary's stances could possibly find them compatible with McCain's. Finally, those who seem to believe that Barack Obama is simply a flash in the pan have no reason not to vote for Obama because it is in their best interests - better to have a flash in the pan than no spark at all.

John McCain may not be offering precisely four more years of George W. Bush, but he's awfully close. Even if you're not sure what Obama offers, wouldn't you rather at least SOMEbody with new ideas?

I can not believe the Clinton campaign. Hillary was beaten fair and square. Barack did nothing to damage her image or insult her supporters. The supporters of her campaign seem to be spoiled losers. What it is that they're not understanding is beyond me. She has made some HORRIFIC campaign decisions and remarks, as did her husband. Both are still damaging the party by not accepting the facts. I LOVED Bill and Hillary. They both did a lot for their causes. They are, however, horrible losers. The nomination is virtually locked up, and the party needs their support, along with her well-intentioned followers. The republicans should not be given an advantage because of spoiled apples.

The remarks that Geraldine Ferraro made seems to be typical of, not most, but a lot of Hillary supporters. Does anyone really believe that the Democrats should fall because a bad campaign run by two of the brightest participants in our politics? Think twice before you regret it.

That is good news for all of you that wanted Obama to the the candidate... You got it... it's to bad to say that's it. Another looser to the list. For all of you dreamers I hope for all of our sakes your hero here can win with just part of the electorate and some but not all the states good luck. Barrack is going to need it. I hope he is wise and pick Hillary as the running mate or he does not have a prair.

With those superdelegates who have publically announced that they WILL endorse the winner of the most delegates and thus not overturn the majority of pledged delegates representing the popular vote states and caucus-vote states .plus even less than 50% of the remaining delegates to be selected, Obama will have the nomination. If the Michigan and Florida delegates, selected in primaries in violation of DNC rules (which Clinton agreed NOT to recognize back when she was playing by the rules), are indeed seated ...Obama will still be ahead in delegates. No way will the majority be overthrown. Obama will be the nominee.

Obama has been a gentleman throughout this whole campaign, and Hillary has whined and cried the entire time about something. It's time for her to give it up and do what's best for the party. Even if the votes from MI and FL are counted. She will still not be a "clear" winner.

Obama 08

while i commend hiliary for staying in the race, showing she is not a quitter, its now Obama's time to shine. He is the democratic nominee.

Obama '08

FRED, WAT A SHAME B/C U WOULD RATHER TAKE SOMETHING OPPOSITE OF WAT U WANT (McCAIN) OUT OF SPITE, INSTEAD OF SOMETHING THAT IS JUST AS GOOD AS HILLARY(MAYBE EVEN BETTER). AS A HILLARY SUPPORTER, I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE IF WE DON'T RALLY AROUND OBAMA.

MCCAIN= 100 YEARS OF WAR

OBAMA= OUT OF WAR IN 1 YEAR

Not so fast! Hillary is still in to win. Go, Hillary, go!

MI and FL should be seated, but since both candidates agreed with the DNC decision that they should be punished for moving up their primaries then the ruling committee should make the only legitimate, unbiased choice that does not involve re-running both of their primaries ... split their delegate count right down the middle, a 50/50 vote split, no winner or loser. Since a rerun is the only way to accurately gauge the actual will of the people (especially considering that one of the candidates names had been removed from the ballot in one of the states), the only other legitimate choice is to nullify the results.

it's really sad to see blogs from the hillary camp and supporters turning the table around to obama. obama runs a gracious campaign with nary a negative missive towards hillary. it was hillary who started all the negativities. it was her who proclaimed, after she lost iowa and barely won new hampshire, that the "fun begins" and will "throw everything including the kitchen sink" to obama. her words exactly. now that she's losing, her supporters cannot seem to accept the fact that she's run an inept campaign! hillary had over a $100 million in her coffers for the primaries. her campaign blew over $50million in iowa, from ads to parties (for the celebration after "winning" the state). well, they didn't win the state and all those food and trinkets were left practically untouched. it was hillary to spent over a million dollars to send chelsea to hawaii to campaign there and hillary lost by a lot; it was hillary who sent bill to every state, every towns, to campaign. of course, with his entourage (he will not travel alone); and this entails millions. it was hillary who conjured issues after issues to knock obama down. well, obama's still standing up and is now for all intents and purposes, the nominee.

hillary's supporters are now threatening to become independent and vote for mccain and not obama. if they are true democrats and if they really want real change and still think they way they're thinking, then so be it. they're not real democrats after all. they're only in this to roil the already muddied water created by hillary. what a shame.

Obama may get the nomination , but he will never beat McCain
in the General Election. He has too many skeltons in his closet,
and he and his supporters have bashed Hillary to the point her
supporters will never vote for him. She has run a great campaign
and worked very hard for America and the American people over
the years. People don't forget what Bill Clinton did for this country,
and voters feel she can do the same.

Beware of Republicans on this cite posing as Hillary supporters and trying to create hatred and division amongst Democrats.

Let's unite and defeat John McSame in the fall.

Obama '08

Obama has run a consistently inspiring campaign, and done it with consistent integrity! America deserves to have this kind of leadership, and Obama deserves our trust and support.
Thank you!

Even if Obama win the nomination, it's still a wrong choice for Dems. Just like 2000, Bush vs. Gore. This is exactly the same situation now. If Obama is qualified to be president, then anybody can be president. If you ask me why, then that means you don't know about Obama much. Go research!

Hillary 08, 12. Chelsea, 24, 28.

Hillary Clinton has been treated disrespectfully from the beginning of this campaign while Obama has been canonized, much in the same way that George Bush was canonized by the GOP 4 and 8 years ago.
The coverage of her campaign has been extremely sexist, especially by CNN.

America and every Americans deserve fair treatment and a fair election in this country. Obama cannot win this election without Hillary Clinton and her supporters. Quite frankly at one time I would have voted for Obama now I must reconsider what I will do because Democrats and the media are acting just like the Republicans and media did eight very, very long years ago. This is so very wrong for our country.

Everyone who things that Florida and Michigan are going to have there delegates seated as in is don't be ridiculous. At least a portion will be seated but it won't change the outcome. Another thing about the primary vote, there is no right to vote in the primary. Each state has there own criteria to what makes someone eligible to vote. For all of the Clinton supporters who claim that there is disrespect coming from Obama supporters towards Hillary there is just as much disrespect coming from Clinton supporters to Obama.

My 4th attempt from Germany (bet, it will not be posted),

to me it is not a matter of simple math, which is obviously in favour of Sen. Obama, but a question of the still existing (hidden) problem with the colour. Give me another reason, why party leaders or superdelegates did not end this campaign which is becoming more ugly and more dirty in the past weeks. I remember, when reading the book "executive order" by Tom Clancey, somebody in this book was telling the President – quote" never mind whether you are Republican or Democrat, the people will elect their party`s candidate, even if Adolf Hitler would be on the ballot – unquote. From the distance, however close enough by I-net and website, it seems to me that the USA have got a unique chance for a historical change. I really do hope that there are enough people with common sense in your great country.
Good luck for all of you from Germany

The race is NOT over and will not be until the convention....And Obama KNOWS this which is why he has spent the last week in Michigan and Florida courting voters which he previously had NO interest in. For those of you supporting him keep in mind it was HIS decision and HIS alone to stay off the Michigan ballot and to not make his presence known in Florida which he lost in a big way. It was also his campaign who blocked revotes in these states because he knew he'd lose them. Obama is deceptive and dishonest AND he'll cry unfair when the DNC makes the only decision that they can which is to count Michigan and Florida. The DNC knows it is political suicide for the party to not count these votes and after that just WHERE will Obama be? Oh thats right...he'll be denying what he knows is the truth just like he did over his good friend Mr. Wright.....

YES HE WILL!! YES HE WILL!!

OBAMA '08

Obama supporters are gonna be eating alot of Crow when Hilary supporters all vote Mccain or don't vote at all. Obama is not electable. I dont care about "Uniting" the democratic party. I care about voting for who I think is the stronger candidate. I know alot of Hilary supporters feel this way.

It's Hilary or Mccain.

Hilary 08

Thanks Kell in CA! Welcome - together we can do this.

Now Sen. Obama needs 51 delegates for the nomonation. That is not a hard work for the hard working Obama Team. I told this matter somewhere earlier.

The (real)democrats will realize the fact and will prepare to defeat Sen.MaCain in November. A big change in American politics is blooming.

Do you think that we as African-Americans would vote for Hillary after this primary season? I know all you Hillary supporters are saying you wouldn't vote for Barack Obama if he is the Democratic nominee, but imagine if she manages to be awarded this nomination over the African-American candidate with the most votes, delgates and superdelegates (automatic delegates for our Clinton friends). All the urban areas that democrats need to win in the fall won't vote. Imagine the civil rights activists holding protests and all the nationally syndicated african-american radio shows talking about this daily. Look, Hillary couldn't win against what she and her campaign like to refer to as "the inexperienced junior senator from Illinois". She will never win a general election without myself and other african-americans, as well as, white voters who look at race issues in America with a level head. The news networks want this to carry on so they don't have to be creative and actually find real news to cover. But this thing is over.

You know it's over when Foxnews is her biggest cheerleader. They are pandering to the emotions of the hardcore Clinton supporters.

Let's get down to Obama vs McCain. I have heard enough of the whining from the clintons, now they feel they're being victimized...Give me a Break...

Dream on!!
Obama will NOT win. America is smarter than that! Only Hillary wins in November, everyone knows this. All of the obamabots need to get used to it.
GO HILLARY!!!

The media won't go after Obama. But I hope in the General Election they rise to some level of responsibility. Obama is a puppet. The media needs to expose that (he is) and who is pulling the strings.

Just put your cursor over the face.

Pam,

You do not want to go there, no, no, you actually want to remember this nomination process and Hillary and Family's disgusting behaviour. You must remember this when she tries again in 2012!

Bush approval rating is 30 and the Democratic Congress approval rating is 18...........nuff said!

YES HE CAN!! YES HE CAN!!

OBAMA '08

How can a democratic candidate declare victory when all votes have not been counted. Is Obama forgetting about FL & MI. Looks like Obama is taking another page from the Republican Playbook.

With the exception of his intent to grant amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens and maintain the failed Cuban embargo with the dry foot-wet foot farce I think Obama is a breath of fresh air.
Unfortunately I think it is doubtful that the electorate is ready to vote for a (half) black candidate and there is a real danger that McCain will be our next president.

Is that a sniper I see? Is it Bill behind the trigger?

June is a coming!

NOT TO WORRY HILLBILLI SUPPORTERS.

HILLARY & BILL CAN CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN & COMPLAIN

ABOUT EVERYBODY & EVERY CONSPIRACY AS THEY DID IN

THE WHITE HOUSE, WHEN BILL'S CIGAR ACCIDENTALLY RAN

A MUCK. IT'S A FREE COUNTRY. THEY CAN KEEP DEVOICING IT.

THEY ARE PUTTING THE FINAL TOUCH ON THAT LEGACY OF DIRT.

well, I will hold my nose and vote for less stinky of the two candidates...again. And ALEXIS I'm sure NY will be glad to have Hillary back, since she's actually done something for her home state(and considering they put her back in for a second term to the tune of an 80%+ victory). Guess they're enjoying their "living H-E double hockey sticks." Haha, shouldn't run your mouth about things you know nothing about, although this is pretty common place with your candidate and his robotic followers. alas, how soon we forget the roaring 90's of the Clinton administration...
Honestly I'm more concerned about the house and senate; if we can gain a true fillibuster proof majority in both, then it really doesn't matter if Mccain does win...his hands will be tied in many decisions.

I think some of these fake "Hillary 08" posters are Repugs trolling. They want this thing to be long and ugly, they want the Democrats to be divided and fighting one another.

Deb

What scares me is, A lot of women are voting on emotions. I would love to see a women as president one day, but Hillary hasn't proved to me that she is not that women. She was the clear front runner and lost it ,due to bad campaigning, 20 million in debt, not being trustworthy, padded resume. I expected more from a person with 35 years experienced.

Aren't we ALL tired of CNNs constant pushing of Obama without really researching the candidate???, it appears CNN will not post any positives about Clinton or McCain, so would we believe anything on CNN about the inexperienced Obama????

He will most certinally loose the presidency for the Dems in Nov, there are allot of republican suprises coming....can't wait

If MI & FL are counted the number goes back up to 2209. Supers still have to decide.
FLdems have law suit against DNC.
Hillary has won states with big electoral votes. Ob lost big time.
Red states where Ob won over Clinton will be red in Nov.
You tell a lie over and over and soon the sheep believe it.
An empty wagon makes the most noise.
McCain 08

ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08

After the last primary is time to UNITE and beat John Mccain.

Will it makes Bill Clinton be quiet? Please tell me it will make Bill Clinton stop talking.

Okay, you heard it here first.

After the DNC meets this week re MI and FL, the Clintons will move the goalposts and claim that 2026 delegates are not enough to clinch the nomination.

Watch . . .

Wishful thinking. How come if Nobama is so great, that they haven't come out already to declare for him. Something stinks about this and the supers know it. OBAMA CANNOT WIN!!!!!!!!!

I'm a Clinton supporter...voted for her husband both times. Had I hoped she won YES!! But more than anything I want to make sure that the right to choose remains (which won't happen if McCain is elected) Do I want men and women who are serving tour after tour to come home? Yes! When did we get to the place where one SINGLE person was bigger than the party? We sound like Reps now. I voted for Gore DIDN'T CARE FOR..voted for Kerry DIDN'T CARE for BECAUSE AMERICAN DID NOT NEED BUSH!!! But hey just like I've told people who didn't vote when Bush was elected, be prepared for what happens, now look at us. So don't vote for Obama or vote McCain, because Clinton is so much more important than trying to end the era of Bush. But please stop blaming the other side (both Clinton and Obama supporters) Stop pitting women against men but claim not to be sexist and stop saying " race doesn't matter" when your actions say other wise..
I'm going to vote for WHO EVER WINS the Dem nod BECAUSE I AM A DEM!! AND BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA ARE BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW!!

Go Hillary! Fight not only until the convention, but afterwards. Make sure you are ready to go before the inaugural, because after that, you won't be able to step into Obama's shoes. Once he's in office, any accident will result in his VP (which will NOT be you) taking over. I like the present Gov from LA. He'd be good & a breath of fresh air. Thus, Hillary, get your gun-toting, under-educated Whites ready. Their days are numbered. Also, my advice to Obama: wear lead underwear.

To Deb, Jennifer, Laura and others who are hell bent on the Hillary nomination; get over it will you.

You ladies want to have her we all know that but ha ve you thought about why she has not won as yet?

She was the the strongest and the one whom everyone thought would win. She had the machinary, the DNC, Bill and a host of power backers; yet she ran her campaingn into the ground.

How can someone want to be president and ran such a lousy campaign? She is broke...not her and family...her campaign. She owe more money to various people and Orgs. than you can shake a stick at.

One final note to Jennifer; she can't and won't be on the ticket. She is going back to her seat but not in the White house. You need to get over it ladies.

VERY DARK DAY!!!!!!!!

Will Reverand Wright be on hand for that???
When will be able to read Michelle Obama's thesis???

Seems we sacrificed alot to be rid of one Hussein, and now going to hand the keys of the White House to another!!!!

I will not be voting for Obama, and I know I am not alone!!

Know Obama...........NO OBAMA
NO Clinton................NO VOTE

Sad and sorry to say there are lots of us out there who will not support Obama because we don't feel he is the best choice. So we will be switching to the other side to someone that we feel we can trust more with the Presidency. Sorry Obama but you are just not our candidate of choice. It is not your race; it is your qualifications. Maybe you will win but not with our votes. We will not be responsible........for another unqualified person in office. I am an EDUCATED white female.

Hillary '08

You know, when you post your message with the CAPS LOCK on, it doesn't make your point any more valid.....it just makes you look like that much more of an idiot (not that your opinion doesn't make you sound stupid as well)

Clinton supporters are a DIFFERENT kind of people. I hope when they wake up they realize they almost lost Americans the game. And never support DESTRUCTION AND DISMANTLING OF THE COUNTRY AGAIN.

Bill Clinton said yesterday that she needs more time. She could have more time and she still couldn't seal the deal. I think it is wise that she get out before she says something else that she can't take back. This has been going on for 16 months how much more time could she possible need.

Let's move on!

Has this turned into a beauty pageant? Senator Obama is declared the winner and Senator Clinton is the runner up so she automatically becomes VP?
How many presidential nominees in the past have been asked to have the person who comes in second place to be their running mate? The choice for VP is Senator Obama's decision. Period!

Not so fast. You cock little punks. He can't win the election against mccain, and everyone knows that so just relax. The delegates can change anytime now until convention. He will not be the nominee until then. And if he is, HELLLLLOOOOOO McCain. Not that we want McCain, but that we want to save our country first and foremost over anything else. Obama is not to be trusted with this country in his hands. They trusted Chicago with him and I have not seen the lives of those people get any better under his watch, only worse. We refuse to turn this country into one big Chicago. Sorry.

HILLARY 2008 or MCCAIN 2008

Hope alone does not win this election. Obama has no experience so hope is out the window. A divided party is all you have and a McCain vote from a Clinton supporter.

Florida and Michigan will give McCain the presidency.
Maybe then ,the Pretender known as Barak Obama will
go back to the US Senate.

Now that I think of it, I can't really tell the democrats and the repubilcans apart. Who cares about who gets the nomination?

Lets vote for a third party, like the labor party, or the green party.

Obama was born for this role.
It suits him and he suits it.
And it suits America. America is totally free, multi racial, multi belief Nation. We are founded on All Equal and Obama is the one who can square us with our true destiny.
Seating MI and FL will be good and Obama will still lead in
delegates

Wether it is Hillary or Obama, does it really matter as long as a Democrat takes the White House. I don't think we want another 4 or 8 years of republicans running this country. So, all those who say they will not stand behind the democrat running because their person didn't take the nomination, think about it. Do you really want more of the Bush administration for another 4 years or more, or do you really want a change.

Good. Glad to hear it.

What I'd really like to know what it is about Senator Obama that Clinton supporters hate so much. His intellegence, his candor, his message of care and concern for the American people? How about his judgement about the war or insightful plans to help restore the US economy? I can't imagine it's any of that. So what is it, really????

From what I have read Ted Kennedy took his bid all the way to the convention even though he was MORE than 700 delegates BEHIND. Now you people are whining that Clinton should get out! Obama commenters are NASTY, NASTY, MEAN people. After all Hillary has done for America you are so disrespectful. What have YOU done to change America?

Finally, a little rational discourse on how the nomination is won. Let us all take a deep breath and remember that the truth will set us free.

Deb, I think people like you need to realize that there is no way Hillary Clinton can reach Obama in the delegates count. We need to come together as Democrats to defeat McCain in November.

P.S: We have some people here pretending to be democrats saying they'll vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. We need to keep our eyes open before we end up with a third term of Bush.

I'm amazed that people don't want votes counted, you wouldn't put up with it if it was your state, count the votes, why not, what are people afraid of. Does 2000 ring a bell. Sorry to say, if Obama wins, people won't back him by majority. Unfortunately McCain would win. Hillary is logistically and logically the best shot for the dems. I'm unaffiliated because I'm for the American party, so the dems can do what ever they want. I just know they won't get the WH if Obama is the nominee.

From Patrick from Indianapolis:
"Hillary is a vile Humanoid as are all her moronic supporters".

My Patrick. YOU must then be the most PERFECT person in the world to make a statement like that. Compared to the odd million or so people who voted for her. Care to make that statement publicly to all those people instead of hiding behind a blog of words?
If your candidate is claiming to be such a different type of politican and above mud slinging.........
What are you doing supporting him?

Someone might want to tell this all world Idiot, that it's not over until it's over. Well, no matter anyway. All of us Clinton supporters are going to vote for John McCain anyway. We will all do our part to make sure this Howard Dean twin will not get in. If I were HC I would run under an Independent ticket and win anyway. Mark it down, Obama will not be the next president of the United States, he is not even an American. Wake up voters.........................

Thanks to operation Chaos, RNC operatives have succeeded in convincing Hillary supporters that Obama is the reason why so many people hate her. This ploy is simply designed to divide the party, don't fall for this trick.

If Obama get the nomination, it will be a sad sad day for the democratic party!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA Obama can not win the general election. McCain will win. I cannot believe what idiots the Obama cult are.

This is a wonderful time for our country.

I am filled with so much pride that the Democratic Party has both a woman and a person of color running for the greatest honor possible.

It is time to come together to reverse the policies of the last seven years.

Unity '08

I.P IS AS DUMB AS HILLARY PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD NOT VOTE

Senator Clinton's selfish desire to stay in the race is not uniting the Democratic party. She is aware of the math and the fact that she will almost certainly not win the nomination.

Senator Clinton, please exit from the race with dignity and support your fellow Democrat, Senator Obama. Senator Obama needs your supporters to win the race against Senator McCain. By continuing the race, you are dividing the party in such a way that John McCain has a greater chance of winning, and therefore everything you fought for will be for naught.

Now is your time to prove to everyone that you love America and the Democratic Party more than you want power and the presidency.

why some people hate the black guy?. they say that he has no experience. they say that he is muslim, racist. however, i want to know that bush has experience, so the country is in recession

Well, I hope Hillary is reading this... Let this stupid race end and the real one begin.
Obama '08

If Obama claims victory at 2026, he officially discounts FL and MI although he has probably already lost them. What he doesn't understand is that it doesn't matter what the "rules" are – you can't lose these two states and win in November. He has discounted them and he cannot win in November. It's that simple. Of course there is also his closet full of garbage and his inexperience and his habit of playing the race card which is getting old fast and.................

If your going to bad mouth Obama, at least spell his name correctly.

It's not over until the convention guys. I'll not vote for Obama because his supporters write such virulent comments.

Lol its been over for clinton for awhile, sadly i think she suffers from dellusions of grandeur so she cannot see that she has lost.
I think the reason clinton has made it so far is because sadly the uneducated fail to educate themselves about her. Some women are solid supporters but those are mostly women who want to see a female president and feel empowered.
Where do her mistakes start..........hmmm
she cried on national tv because she lost
her and bill have scandals from when they where in the whitehouse that they could neither prove nor disprove.
she lied about being under sniper fire.
Her healthcare plan will force people to pay healthcare and penilize those who make late payments and can go as far as to garnish wages.
Her top adviser was also lobbying for the colombians which she magically had no knowledge, yet she so strongly opposes free trade.
Her campaighn is 20mil in the hole..... need i go on, clinton please educate yourselves about people before you turn fanatical for them.

By the way total for Obama is as todays date 1977 delegates

yeah i'd have to say fred's pretty much an idiot!

Last night, I watched a panel discuss the Democratic primary during which it was reported that polls show Clinton winning against McCain in the swing states, and Obama losing.

It was interesting to hear the Obama supporter on the panel say that the Democrat's nominee will be the one who played by the rules and has the most delegates, not necessarily the one who is the most viable against McCain

Hmmmmm.........

Congratulations Senator Obama for fighting Hillary, Bill, Fox, Bush, McCane and the RNC all at the same time and still comeing out victorious…here’s to eight years (and many more!!) of prosperity and peace! May those blinded by the hate of your color see the light! A whole new world!!

P.S. to those mathematically challenged, sitting FL and MI still gives him the delegate lead.

If you want to win the general election, Hillary is the only choice.

Obama is product of media hype and a public fad who is without substance. Hillary is a leader with actual ideas, and a vision for the future. Do not get caught up in the delusional obamamania, like some of the wackos in here. True leadership lies within Hillary Clinton.

Now that I think of it, I can't really tell the democrats and the repubilcans apart. Who cares about who gets the nomination?

Lets vote for a third party, like the labor party, or the green party.

The numbers game is not over yet! Hillary is right on your tail and everyone knows it. Besides Superdelegates can change their mind up to last minute at the convention in August. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE CONVENTION!

Obama is a risky bet for the Dems and that's why there are still over 200 superdelegates who haven't come out for him. If he had everyone convinced that he is right for the White House, with his questionable peers, the superdelegates would have all come out for him weeks ago but they didn't.

HILLARY 2008, 2012.

Fred.......... I have been reading your biased comments for months now !!!! I really believe that you have to be a Republican !!! How uninformed you are ............I am really not sure if you are a girl or a boy .....not that it makes any difference. The MOST important reply I have for you is....ONLY ONE MORE WEEK OF fred !!! If you refuse to get on the Obama train I suggest that you catch up on the Republican election concepts and compare them to Obama's and Clinton. You will then see the differences.....hopefully you will be able to put silly biases aside and support the Party that you are SUPPOSEDLY a part of !!!!

For all those who will never vote for Obama who has won fair and square. Well it is a pity you chose the wrong candidate, weather Obama wins or not, He beat Hillary fair and square, you can keep spining it or rather lying to yourselves. This guy beat Hillary, so you can either wait till 2012 or 2016, whichever one you choose trust me Hillary can never be the President of the United States. That is the Simple Truth. They say it is bitter. You can go ahead and vote for McCain. good luck and Good night.

YAY, finally. She and her husband Billy Bob are delusional now... cover ups? LOL... Mama mia... go away Bill and Hillary. We don't want you anymore.

After 65 years of voting Democrat I'm ashamed to say SO.... I am not a Racist but Old enough to realize We are being manipulated just like the Slaves were of Old- Our chains are invisible but there none-the-less - Hope the Youth who are acting like They are attending a Sports Rally will have Just as much Get & Go when Obama starts the Lil old (DRAFT) BELIEVE Me He WILL... Scares Me I have to Many Grandchildren will be eligible - Too many have already served- Why didn't He sign Up since He loves this Country SOOOOO Much- Come on You Young College People ASK HIM... Don't say You were not WARNED!!!!!! The writings are on His Wall.....

This has been great fun but all fun must come to an end. It is time for the uncommitted super delegated to do the right thing and support Mr. Obama. It would have been nice if Bill could have served third and fourth term but since FDR, that is not posssible. I think if Bill Clinton want to be rememberd as a great president, it is time for him to throw his support to Obama.

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

Go ahead, Democratic leaders; hand the presidency, on a silver platter, to John McCain.

With the economy in a recession and an unpopular incumbent,
the Dems should have been a sure thing.

However, they will blow it by supporting an elitist, racist, and anti-American candidate.

The result: John McCain will become President.

Fred....

Remove yourself from the gene pool, thanks.

The lastest dust up over the manufactured story of RFK campaigning in June '68 will seal Hillary Clinton supporters for John McCain.

Sending out the Keith Olbermann email was indeed unnecessary and the last straw.

Barack Obama will have his time in the sun but it will end in November 2008!

For Obama supporters lathering on the rants and insults – he who laughs last, laughs best!

@ Deb:
"Obama is no longer a viable candiate" (???)

Hon, what planet are you living on? He has been trouncing Hillary for a long time now in all the metrics that matter. Take a deep breath, get a grip on reality, admit defeat, and get going working for the Party candidate who will be running against McSame. The very future of this country and your family will depend on your maturity at this moment.

One other thing, why on earth would the superdelegates go againist the people and move towards Hillary. It hasnt happend yet and its not going to. Obama get like 5 supers a day to Hillary 1 or 2. To the people who call themselve Dems for Hillary but say they wont vote if she doesnt win...are weak and not Dem.

Shame on you ... grow up!

former Hillary supporter for Obama!

He MAY be nominated, doesnt mean he will ever be president. We white educated southern ladies will never vote for him. Be sure and dont post this CNN. As if I care.

As it has been said, Hillary had every right to continue her campaign and allow voters to be heard. After June 3rd, it will be time for her to put her energy into supporting the Democratic nominee in Obama.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong,

CNN,

Please update your delegate count, we all know that Barack only needs 49 (I think it may even be 48) delegates! Please stop with your "special Math" We have so many other sources to draw from, I don't know why we even listen to you. I think Barack will have to get 2036 delegates, (not the requisite 2026) before you finally decide that he is the (without a doubt) nominee.

He can declare all he wants, as the only prize that counts is in Nov and this country will never elect a Liberal Elitist for President...

1952,1956,1972,1988,2000,2004 and now 2008 will the Democratic Party never learn....

Its about time.People keep saying they won't unite behind Obama.well; it goes both ways.I will not vote ever again for another Clinton.I'll sit this out if its Hillary and watch her sell us out to Big corporations–goodbye U.S.

Take some garlic Hillary...and be gone! It is going to take a long time for the Democratic Party to recover from your lying, your cheating, your divisiveness, your not-so-subtly racist redneck campaign tactics, your fake victimhood and most of all, your arrogance.

The democratic party is a disgrace. Seat Florida and Michigan. Hillary has won the popular vote, is ahead in Electorial votes and will beat McCain in November.

The democratic party, the media, and Obama campaign has treated Hillary unfairly in this whole process. The only way to unite the Party is to offer her the VP spot. I have been a dem all my life but I will leave the party if the Obama does not offer her the VP.

This is to Fred. Good for you! Let McCain win. Let him send your sons and daughters – or grandsons and granddaughters to Iraq and maybe they will not return home – you will have only yourself to blame. And, I guess you, being a man, are not at all concerned about women's rights, as the next president will be picking a new Supreme Court Justice or two and they will be looking to overturn Roe V. Wade. But, you probably do not care about that either. Just my opinion, but I would rather vote for a candidate who ran a good campaign – paid his bills and still has money in the bank, than vote for someone who really was not prepared and is now pretty far in debt. What does that say for management skills when this is the biggest thing she has ever been asked to manage?

God help us.

I think the point that the Clinton supporters are missing is everyone wants FL and MI to count, it just can't favor Mrs. Clinton. Let's be honest she did not win those states out right, and it is shameful to suggest she did. If she does, think of how many votes she is stealing she will be no better than Bush. I am just hoping she will step out with respect, at this pace she will be lucky if she wins her Senate seat next election.

Go, Hillary, it's not over yet!

We women will not desert you. You have been demonized by the print press, the cable networks, with CNN being the worst, and all the noise from the very young Obama supporters who think he walks on water. All his grand talk will not hold up as he faces the general
general election. He has the audacity to think he could be the
President of the United States with his limited knowledge of
the task ahead of him!

Watch him appoint all the old guys to help him run (or ruin, as G. Bush
did) this country. And that wife of his...could she ever hold a candle
to Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Truman, Jackie Kennedy, Lady Bird Johnson or Hillary Clinton?

uummmm....I really don't see how you people think that Hillary can still win. I mean, come on...do the math. Don't make stupid comments about her winning. She has no way of overtaking him even if florida or michigan counted.

Mission Accomplished

Yes we can!

Congrats Barack - and to all the people that voted for him!

What is keeping the rest of the Superdelegates from speaking up and announcing whom they are for ?. Are they so afraid of the Clintons ?.
Let's get this over with.

One more thing, I am not a fan of Hillarys, but please lets stop with the hateful remarks, it's just not necessary . She makes herself look bad enough, she doesn't us to help her in that respect.

Let's just wait for FL and MI to come in and see how much his lead diminishes then... it will be not so clear after that.... anyways, this Democrat is not voting for Obama in the Fall...!!! Looks like I might become an Independent!

Go OBAMA you can declare victory soon. It is now time for the american people to choose a proven leader. Whites will now show these media outlets that it is not about the color of your skin, it is about who is going to lead this country to change we desperately need.

Only six months left before the 2012 election season begins in ernest.

Amazing how the Clintonites comb the areas looking for somewhere to interject their hatred and frustrations with the fact that HRC is being beaten fair and square. Anyone who believes otherwise is weakminded and it will get you nowhere. What is their excuse that the people who make the decisions are breaking for Obama? Looks to me like she is the one who is not the majority of the people's choice. Obama has taken the high road and been a gentleman where she is concerned. If only another womas was able to go head to head for her. The last word is NO Hillary. What part of No don't you understand?

Jennifer-NY

You Clintonites are just as hateful and nasty – if not more so! At least I would vote for Hillary if she was the nominee without question. It is all about the Democrats beating McCain.

THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. STOLE THAT FROM KOBE.

If the super delegates want to start uniting the Democratic Party, a wealth of them should commit before the final primaries. This way, it will still be pledged delegates who will clinch the nomination (sure, a mere technicality, but it works).

To anyone who is narrow minded enough to not unite once a nominee is chosen... it's completely ludicrous and you're making a mockery of this entire election. If you think not voting and allowing the other party to win the Presidency is worth your selfish pride, then the next four years of your life will be one big slap of karma. Consider three Supreme Court judges elected by McCain... enough said!

All Hillary supports who spew hate about Obama underlines all the reasons that I tell my kids about the world they will face as bi-racial black and hispanic men. You turn the other cheek and keep your head up but, when THEY (u know who) don't get what they want their TRUE COLORS always come out.

How can Obama win the delegates or super delegates when he only spent a couple of hours in Puerto Rico? Instead he is to busy being presidential when he should be out campaigning to finish off the primaries. He needs the votes in Puerto Rico. He is screwing up bad!

Even with Florida and Michigan, the race isn't going to change.

Current Delegate count with Florida and Michigan:

Obama: 2055
Clinton: 1972
Edwards: 18
Uncommitted: 55

Now, the only chance Hillary would have is to take off a number of the Uncommitted delegates from Florida, however an overwhelming majority of those are Obama supporters. She maybe can take off 10 or so delegates from there, the rest to Obama. And Edwards has endorsed Obama, and so far 100% of those delegates have gone to Obama. So considering that:

Obama: 2118 – Need 29% of remaining delegates, or 92 delegates
Clinton: 1982 – Need 72% of remaining delegates, or 228 delegates

There have already been a number of super delegates who have said they will go with the Pledged Delegate Majority winner, and Obama still has that.

There just are not enough contests left for Hillary to make a dent into the math at this point.

Brilliantly ran campaign @ Obama and staff! You guys deserve this nomination. Now lets work even harder to beat "The Manchurian Candidate".

Obama needs to remember he is still fighting for the nomination. He needs to be campaigning in the upcoming primary states. Hillary is working hard and she deserves every vote she gets. Why is Obama not working as hard in these primary states? November is a long time away!!!

I do not like the apparent lack of attention Obama has been giving the last end of this primary season. He is not the candidate yet and needs to keep his eyes on sly Hillary. The Clintons have shown no shame in this primary and will try to change rules and use negative 'smear' tactics against him. Obama, keep yourself focussed on these important states.

Obama supporter in FL

I cant believe that all the Hillary supporters want to just give her the nomination reguardless of the rules, regardless of the fact that Obama is ahead.

Why cant you unite behind Obama? Is it because he Black?

Hey Tom, while we Hillary supportes appreciate you nice comments, take the blinders off – Obama has been cutting up Hillary all the way and now he's attacking Mccain every stump speech he makes – can't you see that? Are you really blind because I can sent you transcripts of every negative thing he has said against Hillary and Mccain in all of his campaign stops. It's one thing to be a supporter but man don't blatently lie.

Hillary Clinton agreed to FL and MI losing their delegates. Her campaign agreed to it, so she can't complain about it.
It's time for her to take her loss like a man, and bow out gracefully.

Uh, Hillary cheerleaders? It's over. Give it up and stop trolling the ticker.

Stay bittter, angry and make excuses for Hillary all summer if you want to. I have better plans for my summer than to listen to Hillary or Bill rant on TV about some conspiracy or listen to bitter angry women complain about sexism. I think your queen has done a great disservice to women every where with her actions GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is 49 delegates short of clinching the nomination. Hillary is 249. This is finally over. It's time to focus on McCain.

I am a Hillary supporter BUT it's clear now who the winner is and I will get behind Obama as all Dem must.

former Hillary supporter for Obama =)

No problem at all. When that happens Obama will be the nominee. Until then the race goes on.

...but of course he will declare victory....and in November too. Was there any doubt?

If Hillary does not win the nomination, neither my husband or I will vote for Obama. He is just a kid still wet behind the ears–promises, promises. We will never forget the comment his wife made about her finally being proud of being an American. What a terrible thing to say!

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 forl ast eight years and the other gang that trying to squeeze themselve by hook or crook into whitehouse.

Obama gives me hope for this country. Blog commenters erase it.

Are half of you just uneducated, babbling fools?

Hillary is washed up old news, and a spiteful witch willing to bring down the dems with her sinking ship.

I wouldn't vote for him no matter what.....

Clinton/McCain 08

Why is this a headline at CNN? When would they expect him to declare victory, 2011..?

It's painfully obvious that Obama is TRYING to be civil and magnanimous in the face of Hillary's scorch-the-earth HOPELESS clawing and scratching for the nomination that she LOST FAIR AND SQUARE. Obama should be commended for his restraint.

She says, gosh if she were a Republican this race would have been wrapped up last February! Well gosh, it was HER sycophants who WROTE THE DNC RULES.

Oh yeah, and as for Michigan where she was the ONLY name on the ballot:

NHPR's Laura Knoy:
"So, if you value the DNC calendar, why not just pull out of Michigan? Why not just say, Hey Michigan, I'm off the ballot?"

Hillary Clinton:
"Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having IS NOT GOING TO COUNT FOR ANYTHING."

We dont need democrats who dont vote for their candidate. we dont need them at all.

WHEN OBAMA CROSSES FINISH LINE, HE IS THE WINNER.

A WINNER IN JUNE & A WINNER IN NOVEMBER.

Good. This article will foment enough fits among Clinton supporters to keep these comment threads going for weeks. Looks as if Hillary will remain a junior Senator for the foreseeable future, haha.

You do that and the next president would not be Clinton but McCain.

Gald to hear it! ...Nope, not a bit! I received my DNC package in the mail with a survey, and asking for monitary support. I sent them a kind letter saying that he might be their nominee, but not mine and I was not sending a dime. You are not supporting the "party" in the elections, sorry to say, but the person you think would do the best job, believes in your ideals, and you think can make a difference. That person for me is not Obama, so i am certainly not just casting a vote for the party so we can say a Democrat is in office and we forgo 4 years of Republicans.

Oh well, the DNC did it to themselves. I have long believed that this was a total shame of a primary selection. They did not want Hillary from day one. Instead they pick someone to keep the peace. How many black voters at 98% in each state voting for Obama, would abandon the Democratic party if they turned back now.

What a mess.....

I AM WRITING IN HILLARY CLINTON!!! OR Voting McCain. I have not decided yet, trying to take a close look.

What about Michigan and Florida, he doesn't care.

Let me preface this by saying, to all the Clintonistas, do not purport to tell Sen. Obama who his running mate should be. This is ONE TIME IT'S OUT OF YOUR HANDS!! The Clintons are now at the mercy of the man they tried to bury with all their smear tactics, lies and just nasty campaigning. Now they have to go hat in hand to the man for forgiveness.

Hillary doesn't deserve squat. And for all you female voters who support McCain or won't vote if Obama gets the nomination, stop thinkin' with your panties and start thinkin' with your brains. Oops, oxymoron time, if you're a diehard Hillary supporter, that alone demonstrates that you HAVE no brains!!

And again, if you refuse to support Obama, get ready to send your kids to the military recruitment stations, because that's where McCain's new meeting point for your kids is gonna be. Then they can be sent to Iraq to get shot all to hell in continuation of Bush's great lie. Then we'll find out how you wished you'd have voted for change when you had the chance!!

GO OBAMA '08!!

Obama has rightfully won. Even if Florida and Michigan are counted, they have to split the vote 50/50. No matter what Clinton has done, it is over. Also, you Clinton supporters don't be fooled. She wants to get her millions back. It is over.

Wake up Debb! It's finished! Obama is the nominee! Hillary has lost! Instead of deluding yourself and her, face the reality, rally around Obama and stop Bush from having a third term through McCain!

Does it matter which democrat gets the nomination? They're both backed by corporations, neither of them really care about ordinary (i.e. not extremely rich) Americans.

Finally its coming to an end.

Sorry Obama, it aint over yet!
Get off your high horse and wait till the game is actually over.

Tomorrow never knows Obama!!

HILLAY 08!

Deb, hillary is done, get over it! She is done in 08, 12 and forever if the democrats loose the election. you have no right to complain when GWB III destroys are country and you are to blame for it

TO DEB...
THE CANDIDATE YOU SAY IS NO LONGER A VIABLE CANDIDATE IS WINNING....WHY, BECAUSE HE RAN AN EXCELLENT CAMPAIGN...HE IS BEATING HRC FAIR & SQUARE...AND PLEASE DON'T GO THERE ABOUT FL & MI....SHE STILL CAN NOT WIN...

SO JOIN THE OBAMA TRAIN...TOOT...TOOT....

OBAMA '08

Math is the math. "facts are stubborn things". No matter how much twisting of the numbers occurs, the numbers don't move and slide by the will of the candidates.

As much as I'd have to hold my nose to vote for her – I still think Clinton should be VP. She's earned it – albiet in the gutter.

what a great primary campaign.two things, democrats will be happy to know.#1-the name george w bush will not be on the ballot in nov.#2- hillary r clinton will not be on the ballot, in nov. OUT WITH THE OLD,IN WITH THE NEW.THE 21ST CENTURY HAS HOPE,ONCE AGAIN.

The magic number will change after May 31 when the ruling committee decides about Florida and Michigan...Lets not forget about this...This could still head to the Convention

Wrong again. Obama "clinched" the Nomination back in February when he ran off 11 straight victories.

Obama/08

I have admiration for Mr Obama, but should he get the nomination I will not be voting for him. I am unconvinced on the specifics, if the election were tomorrow I believe he would still lose to the republican nominee. I am a democrat but I don't believe that Mr Obama can win against the current candidate and I STILL believe that the BEST ticket would be Clinton/Obama for 4 years then Obama/(whoever) after that. Mr Obama has given people hope, but hope doesn't better the economy, produce jobs or put food on the plate of the majority of those of us that he has yet to convince.

I thought the Super D's could change who they supported even after a public declaration. How can Obama claim victory if the Supers can still change thier minds?

You go CNN; publish only the Obama post.
I am still proud of him either way.....knowing we just gave McCain the presidency. Another 4 years of Bush coming up.

higher Gas prices. Weak around the world.
Keeping the militarty dump and withholding education.

Keep up the Good Work CNN.

Hillary is not creating hate for Obama....I would say the Obamaniacs are hateful and nasty people ridiculing her at every turn, and it comes straight out of the head of the campaign. Well, Obama can declare victory all he wants – many will never vote for him – he also uses the Karl Rove playbook into manipulating people. Not all of us are fooled.

How exactly is Obama no longer viable? He only needs aproximately 50 delegates to get the nominattion while Hillary needs 250. Sounds like they're both viable to me, but Clintons viability is fading fast.

Which of the following is true? Please answer truthfully, or make an educated guess:

a) The person who actually has the most numbers win.

b) The person who says that they have the most numbers win.

Clinton has stooped a new low over the weekend. She is growing more pathetic, desperate and disgusting. Not my choice for my leader!

The Libertarians will get my vote in November is she steals the nomination.

OBAMA!!

Hey people, I have supported Obama from the beginning, but this mean spirited hate mongering toward Hillary is uncalled for. Get a life, crawl out of the gutter, or whatever but remember that Obama is about unity not attacking each other.

Fred you are stupid.

DNC,

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU...IF YOU GIVE YOUR VOTE TO OBAMA,
YOU ARE GIVING UP THE WITHE HOUSE FOR ANOTER 4 YEARS...

SO YOU BETTER THINK TWICE OR MORE THAN TWICE, BECASUE WE WILL BE VOTING FOR ....OBAMA HUSSEIM BATACH OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS...

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT...09

Florida and Michigan will be included in the next few weeks and the number to clinch the nomination will increase dramatically. I hope Hillary remains in the game, I just cannot handle the Obamabots, especially the crazy ones in here.

DED==MI AND FL DON'T COUNT
ED==THIS IS NOT CHICKENS,IT IS A SERIOUS CAMPAIGN NOT A JOKE

hillary has lost fair and square
and if she should get fl and mi (by fraud)
then the caucas states will kick in and she still looses

she will loose any way come nov. she has a court date for campaign fraud. (peter paul vs clintons.com)

cnn please post this

No one know what the magic number is until we finalize florida and michigan. Its like Bush saying mission accomplished. How can one claim victory when all the 50 states are not counted.

He is Not one man dictorate in Democratic party.

Yup, according to his own website he only needs 49 more delegates to claim the nomination.

Lets hope the Hillary fans are not so blinded by their support to her to be able to see who the real opponent is: MCain and the republican party.

Of course a lot if not most so-called Clinton supporters posting on blogs and websites are actually republican posers loking to create a bigger rift between the factions of the democratic party. I have every confidence in the intelligence of the voters to be able to see through that nonsense and to be able to see that the things that really matter in the race this fall are the issues.

And those who are informed will realise there is not a lot of difference on the issues between Obama and Clinton.

No more republicans in the White House so the dems can clean their mess up (again) and rebuild the economy, the military and the nation once again.

How terribly presumptuous and arrogant they have been through this whole campaign. They have a right to vote for who they want. I don't ever remember a campaign being run this way . It's such an insult to Hillary and everyone supporting her that the media and the superdeligates as well as Obama and his people keep telling her starting months ago to end her bid. What kind of a campaign does that! Telling a respected candidate months ago before there was a "clear" frontrunner to end her campaign so Obama can be the nominee. I will never vote democrat again. This is not a democratic party anymore – it's cut throat with Obama doing all the throat cutting. He will never win against Mccain.

It will be interesting to see how she reacts to this? I dont see her going away any time soon

Deb,

How is he not viable? The Clinton's and all their antics are ruining the Democratic Party! Hillary does not have a snowballs chance in hell at winning anything other than her won presidency in Hillaryland! After her and Bill's comments over the weekend – I have denounced the Clintons as a great family! I was once a loyal supporter through the great times in the 90's, but no longer! It is time to unite the party not to destroy it. Superdelegates please join the Obamatrain and leave the old wreck of the Clinton machine to rust away in obscurity. I am a "blue collar" white 43 year old white male in Iowa that has and will continue to support Barack through to his becoming our next President of the United States.

It's about time! Obama strategically got to this point and there's no use in prolonging his success! Now-Lets bring this party together and take it all the way!!!!!

Go Obama 08'

I wish the supers would stop being such chickens and step up and declare their support. Allowing this to drag out serves no other purpose than further dividing our party.

Hillary Clinton would not win the general election if she were to be the democratic nominee. Even back when she was the presumptive democratic nominee she never had a chance of winning the general election. She was never going to be the first woman president. So let the last three primaries have their vote, split the delegates for Florida and Michigan 50/50 (the only fair way to do it since ALL parties agreed in the beginning of this contest that their vote wouldn't count) and let her gracefully exit.

Enough all ready. The nomination was hers to lose and she lost it. Time to let it go.

There are some posters here that are in La La land with Bill and Hillary. It is over so get on the winning team to win in November...

Barack Obama will be coming to end of his second term as
president of the United States and Hillary Clinton will STILL
be out there trying to change the rules of the election!

GOOD.... claim the nomination and shut that awful woman up.... I'm so sick of that god-awful Hillary and her whiny crying....

OBAMA '08

Questions for you guys. What are the chances that GOP has a large number of paid and volunteer people trolling top news and politics websites and pose as disgruntled Hillary supporters claiming they won't vote for Barack?

Answer: It is 100% probability

this may be true, but i dont discount the Clintons and their ability to get where they want how they want! She just may have the number changed just after he hits the mark..they are already making the public think that they have the popular vote locked up! they actually have people thinking that her ability to WIN with the numbers is legitimite!..she is using psyche and it is working..basically she is just in the way! THE CLINTON'S TIME HAS COME AND GONE..we appreciate all the hardwork and service. I for one would have voted for her, regardless of being an african american,and not because i am a women either but because i am a DEMOCRAT first and foremost...(would have loved to see a woman prez) just not this woman.. not this time! There is a better option. And i plan to use it!

Clinton has sunk to a new low. It's pathetic and childish.

For a long time, my vote was going to go to whichever Democrat makes it on the ballot. NO MORE.

I will not support Hillary. I will vote Libertarian in November is Clinton steals the nomination.

Way to go Obama! Time to give up this nonsense Deb (and others) that Obama cannot win in the general election. He clearly has the support of the MAJORITY of Americans otherwise he would not have won.

Throw your support behind Obama or just don't vote and stay at home – that's your "right" I suppose.

But when he changes your country for the better it's okay to admit you were wrong!

49 delegates to go and counting....The fat lady is singing and it sounds so sweet....

Obama 08

Could someone please give this news to Hill and Bill?

They won't stop campaigning!

YES WE CAN!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

Obama 08 / General James L. Jones

Just wishing it is so, does not make it so.

wow, he is already counting himself as the PRESIDENT of the USA.

THINK AGAIN, YOU GOT NO CHANCE AGAIN MCAIN....GET IT TO YOUR BRAIN, IF YOU GOT SOME...

HILLARY CLINTON ONLY HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE WILL .................

It will be very interesting to see how the Ku Klux Klintons try to spin this one

( waiting for CNN to finally post my first comment after 11 tries)

about time! im a canadian and i am EXCITED to see Obama win this .. if only we had him as our prime minister ..

This primary is the sickest "sitcom" of all time.

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

I hope after the primaries are over, I never hear from Hillary Clinton ever again.

It's nice to see the actual numbers rather than the manufactured comments of a nearly impeached ex-president. You know, this always happens whenever Hillary or Bill say something completely stupid like the murder of Obama statement the other day, they need to deflect it as quickly as possible. They are great at manufacturing issues to obviscate! Hillary is not ahead in the popular vote. If she was, she would have the majority of the delegets. Bill and Hillary like to make it out like she's a victom of some conspiracy. Right wing – left wing, DNC, Obama camp, it doesn't matter, just manufacture a conspiracy against her and people go out and vote for her. It's a lost cause at this point.
It must be really hard for them to let go of their dream of Hillary and then Chealse in a true manarch march throught the next 16 years. Let's get this over and it together Dem's, we got McCain to get ready for.

Is Deb a standup comic?

Come on Superdelegates... keep it coming. Time to coalesce around the nominee and move to General Election season.

It is really sad that the Hillary supporters just refused to accept Obama has won the nomination. It's a terrible day when people can see that the man beat the Clintons fare and square. They are the ones trying to change the rules in the middle of the game. They are the ones trying to change the numbers game.

It is over!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Senator Obama!

Senator Clinton you have fought bravely and was a great opponent!

However, Senator Clinton is no longer a viable candidate! After all of the misspeaks, lies, half truths and inapporpriate racial remarks and inunendos!

Time for us to move forward!

this isn't news to me...we've known this would happen since march...see you later hillary!!!

He can claim anything he wants.
He will never be president

Clinton has sunk to an amazing new low. At first, I was going to support whatever Democrat made the nomination, but I can't stand her no longer.

I will be voting Libertarian, if Clinton manages to steal the nomination.

Thank goodness!! Enough of the Clintons and their misguided perceptions on reality

He will have the nod. But the party is divided.

Lets just hope Hillary does not get lucky and Obama gets offed before he declares victory. Wink-wink

MR OBAMA

deserves to get the nomination. he has played by the rules and has
never done any disrespect to hillary. he always has praise for her,while she and bill are playing nasty about him. i just hope howard dean has the guts to man up and not let the clintons steal the nomination from barack. I FEEL IF IT IS GIVE TO HILLARY,SHE WILL STILL BE THE LOOSER. ALL BECAUSE SHE HAS PLAYED DIRTY POLITICS. IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE THEM IN THE BUT. AND FOR BILLY BOY=WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS

CNN PLEASE POST THIS.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND THE GREAT USA.

David, I agree with you!

Let it be known that Obama has clinched the nomination a long time ago, but due to courtesy and Hillarious being disengenous, we can wait to June 3rd to proclaim the nomination officially!

Let's see how in the full glare of the whole wide world and the media watching, will Hillarious steal the nomination.

There is no way now for Barack Obama not to be the democratic nominee!

YES WE CAN!!!!

YES WE CAN

Shall we wait to see how the voters feel? If the superdelegates go against the voters, watch out!

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 early! Let the Clintonistas have their last week of crying foul and complaining that she was "inevitable" and he "stole" the selection from her! It is the last time we ahve to actually listeen to them so please just let them have their day in the sun, their last cry and then the great "American Conspiracy" (you know all of us Americans who, with our votes, conspried to steal this from Ms., Clinton) can move forward and Mr. Clinton can shut up and go back to being the footnote to Mr. GATES legacy, and Ms. Clinton can then just shut up!

In other words, "Senator Obama is electable".

Yes We Can.
Obama 08.

Deb – How in the world did you deduce your comment from the preceding news story?

Here's a hint – try sticking to the conversation at hand and leave the spam at home.

Obama 08.

This HOPEFULLY will be it. If Clinton finds a way to steal this nomination, I'm voting Libertarian. The Democratic Party WILL NOT have my vote in November is Clinton is the nominee. I can't stand the sight of her any longer.

Clinton has dropped to a disgusting new low. It's pathetic and childish.

Clinton supporters try to say that Obama is bad mouthing her. But he is just doing what he needs to win. He is always gracous to her and he is still beating her. On the other hand, she has just slung mud since she saw she could not win. Thats not right.

Go Obama Go!!!

It is kinda obvious, the whole world knows it except the Dems and of course the Clintons! Nice piece is Time today, debunked the Clinton myth that Bill ran this hard fought campaign in '92 and wrapped up the nomination in June...turns out he had it sowed up in April from actual facts! I guess one of her two reasons for staying in the race is outright lie, I guess that just leaves the "other"!

Wow, we have a lot to do before November 2008.

What are the clintons up to next.

Are they planning on something we do not know.

Am kind of curious.

We can only hope that the Super Delegates will make their selection before the Puerto Rico Primary and the DNC. That would make the final Primaries the frosting needed to complete this process on a positive note !!!!! Go Obama !!!!!!!!

It is so sad that we are going to have to settle for Obummer.

Except superdelegates' votes don't actually count until the convention, soooo... keep dreaming, Axelrod.

I think it's about time that "everybody" faces facts – Barack Obama is the Democratic Party Presidential Nominee. I can't see how Hillary dragging this out is helping anybody, including her. All of her acts seem desperate. She's not counting on any votes to give her the nomination, she's looking for some rules to be changed to help her. If that happens, and it probably won't, she'll destroy the morale of millions of people in this country. Not just those that voted for Sen. Obama, but for all people who believe in following the rules as you agreed. I don't think she should be offered the VP, either. This woman has led a lot of peple to believe, through her own actions, that she will stop at nothing to get the #1 spot.

ALL the way to the convention Hillary!!!!

Goodbye Obama and Goodbye DNC...losers!!

I hope that all Democrats will change to Independents if the DNC gives this nomination to Obama!!

We will NOT UNITE behind Obama!!!

Tic,tic,tic...this primary is going on too long. HRC can't win. We must end this and end it now. We have to get ready for the Gen. Election.

Great. Hopefully, May 31 does not change anything.

Good, Thank Goodness, then you can send Billary back to New York , where she can continue to make their City New York A Living H-E double hockey sticks. Like she tried to make our counrty. I give you a E for Effory, now go pay off you debt, with New Yorker's Tax Dollars. LOL!

WOW IT FINALLY COMES TO AN END!

WAT MANY SAID (HILLARY) WUD END SUPER TUESDAY WIT HILLARY WINNIN IS TO SHOW NO MATTER WAT WE PREDICT GOD IS THE ULTIMATE DECIDER

NOV 4 OBAMA BY GOD'S GRACE WILL WIN D PRESIDENCY! AMEN

It would be a good thing for the DNC if Obama went over the top prior to the 3 remaining primaries. Hillary Clinton's argument that all of the FL and MI delegates should count is puzzling to me.

Wasn't her campaign manager, Terry McCauliffe, the chairman of the DNC who ruled that FL and MI will be punished? Didn't he then step down as chairman to run her campaign? Isn't he the same guy most every night arguing that FL and MI shoulnd not be punished.

It would be a good thing for the DNC if Obama went over the top prior to the 3 remaining primaries. Hillary Clinton's argument that all of the FL and MI delegates should count is puzzling to me.

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."

Florida and Michagan cannot be suppressed!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Please be over soon!

David Axelrod has been a great campaign manager.

Obama 08.

Hillary Clinton is a vile humanoid as are all of her moronic supporters.

Good! And we get on to defeating John McSame now?

Hurry, before Hillary Clinton has him BOOM! BOOM!

Please let it finally be over and let us heal from the Clintons.
I wish there was a pill to erase them from our memories!

Obama ran an excellent campaign and deserves the nomination. Let's all rally behind him to bring about the change our country desperately needs.

this will be good to get this settled as HC is creating so much hate for Obama that it will be very hard to change if it keeps going. I think her main purpose is to make him lose the main election and she will run again in 4 years.

There is a wise old saying about counting your chickens before they hatch. Michigan and Florida WILL be seated and the number of delegates needed for victory will increase accordingly. But hey, I am not surprised by this kind of deceptive nonsense coming from the Karl Rove of the Democrats; it's par for the course.

Hillary '08

Obama is actually 49 delegates short of clinching the nomination. CNN added the 3 superdelegates from Hawaii this weekend, but didn't take into account the add-on supers from Alaska, Georgia and Wyoming that were selected this weekend also. Clinton also gained a super from those.

And we can expect most of the supers out there are going for Obama. There is no reason not to declare support for Hillary now if they are willing to support here. Those waiting to come out for Obama are doing it out of respect to Mrs. Clinton, and let her finish up the primary season.

Obama is no longer a viable Candidate!

Thank you for staying in the race Hillary!

You are the best Candidate and will win the General Election for us and take back the White House!

Keep flying to your strengths and never give up-you are our fighter!

Hillary 08

We just have 49 delegates to go...let's finish this thing.

I hope he does clinch the nomination after next week's primaries. We need to wrap this up before August. Please let's this end before the convention.
