Clinton is stepping up her argument to superdelegates. (AP Photo)

EN ROUTE TO KYLE, South Dakota (CNN) — In a letter sent to superdelegates Wednesday, Hillary Clinton contends neither she nor Senator Barack Obama will have the required number of delegates to clinch the nomination after Montana and South Dakota vote next Tuesday, leaving it up to party insiders to put one of them over the top.

“When the primaries are finished, I expect to lead in the popular vote and in delegates earned through primaries … I hope you will consider not just the strength of the coalition backing me, but also that more people will have cast their votes for me,” she wrote, as she continued to press her case that the race was far from over.

Clinton, who has not fared well in most caucus votes this year, has dismissed results from those states for much of the campaign, saying the method disenfranchises too many voters.

In addition to the letter, the Clinton campaign also sent along “electoral and polling” analysis — including an electoral map analysis from Karl Rove and Co. — showing her in a better position to take on the Republican nominee in November. The packet was sent to superdelegates in advance of Saturday’s meeting of the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws committee where the fate of the Florida and Michigan delegations will be decided.

“We have not gone through this exciting, unprecedented, historic election only to lose,” Clinton told a crowd in Billings, Montana Tuesday. “Based on every analysis of every bit of research and every poll that’s been taken and every state that a Democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain this fall.”

Several weeks ago, her campaign sent a similar analysis of her electoral strength in tough congressional districts to Democratic members of Congress and other superdelegates.

Wednesday morning, Clinton took a brief tour of Mount Rushmore before heading out on a two-day swing across South Dakota. When asked by reporters whether she could see either herself or former President Bill Clinton added to the monument, she rolled her eyes and semi-playfully urged reporters to “go learn something” about the majestic structure.

Isn't there anybody in the Democratic party structure who has the guts to stand up and say that this howling banshee has finally lost her mind and needs to be forcibly removed from consideration. Remove her party affiliation thus leaving her unable to continue this humiliating farce.

I suppose she didn't have enough humiliation when her worthless, philandering husband showed the world that she was a lumpy bag of cheese who couldn't hold his interest. Now she has to have a mental breakdown on live television during prime time.

Are they going to have to take a straightjacket to the convention and truss her up like a dazed Blanche Dubois thanking the attendants for the kindness of strangers, while reminding them that she actually won.

Not only has she lost her political future, she has destroyed her husband's position in history and her daughter's future, if there ever was one for her in politics.

Obama, save us!

Lindsay   May 28th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Well, that's interesting Hillary. You are more likely to beat McCain, but you can't even beat Obama! He's won – this is a race about delegates. Stop trying to change the rules that everyone agreed to. He's run a better campaign than you and he is the stronger candidate. If you were stronger, then you would be winning.

Joshua College Station Texas   May 28th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

As Clinton has dismissed entire caucus states and thus large sections of the electorate, as well as any and all parts of the process that don't agree with her becoming president, so shall she be dismissed.

Kevin   May 28th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Caucus states are a joke. For example, Washington state Caucus 70% Obama to 30% Clinton. But when voted several weeks later, it was a tie. I am speechless. This should not happen in America.

peter dc transplant   May 28th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Lets be clear about one thing… Clinton's path to nomination victory throughout this entire campaign has revolved around beating her opponents down, rather than lifting herself up. A large fraction of Americans hate the Clintons, and always will. Her ONLY chance to defeat Obama has been to get Americans to hate him as much or more than they hate her. This even more obvious in retrospect, as we review any number of instances that the Clintons dug up more dirt on Obama than the republicans did. The fact that this woman is using Karl Rove's analysis to make her case to the democratic party should be enough to convince ANYONE that she is out to win regardless of public opinion or democratic rules. And as stupid as it sounds, when did the actual popular vote mean anything in our electoral process? How many presidents have lost the election despite winning the popular vote? Is Clinton, if in that position, going to cry about the electoral college too? Rules are rules Hillary, and you voted for them too. Suck it up. You lost.

Chris   May 28th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Hillary has totally lost her mind!!! This lady should disappear…. forever. Everyone can see the desparation… Hillary will say or do anything to get back to the White House– which scares me tremendously.

Sen. Obama, beware of Hillary. She is evil and dangerous. I pray for Sen. Obama's safety daily. Barack is a good, honest man who can lead America. God Bless you, Sen. Obama.

Obama stealing election, you must joking!

How do you think Obama got elected the first term to Illinois senate?

Got the opponent thrown out through legal maneuvering

How do you think Obama got elected to US Senate?

Jack Ryan shot himself in the foot. Ran against Alan Keys, replacement candidate.

There you have it.

Toni - Atlanta   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Who's campaign is bullying the superdelegates?

Z, St. Louis   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

She's been sending up that talking point for a while now..
It doesnt hold ANY water..She does NOT lead in any of the
things she listed. She uses some really fuzzy math and obscure poll
results that might work in bizzaro world, but here on planet Earth it doesn't have a chance.She has had her minions flooding message boards and talk radio shows with the same "Obama can't win"
message for a long time now. It's tiresome, it's (another) lie and she needs to just go back to her Senate seat and be happy she has that.
She is going to get eaten alive soon if the Republicans or Obama
have to actually attack her with her sordid past with Chinese
buissnessmen staying in the White House, her dealing with
WhiteWater, the investments in futures that suddenly jumped to huge
values, her ties to Wal-Mart and their Anti-Union campain, not to
mention the numerous outright lies and white lies recently..

Amusing...   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Clinton will also forbid any further trips to the moon, as the huge influx of naturally-occurring cheese will RUIN the American Dairy industry.

She's asking for pledged delegates to disenfranchise the legitimate voters in order to follow her.

And yet she claims that Florida and Michigan should all count for her?

IANWND   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Hillary please go back to her political roots which is the Republican Party. Carl Rove can retrain you in spinning facts.

Obama 08/12 and Anyone but Hillary

Jerry   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

to Beth from Jersey,

Your math is off as bad as Hillary's. I have ran the numbers, and Obama has the most votes, delegates, and states (both blue and red). And, he is winning by a pretty big margin.

Chi4Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

She is like an annoying gnat, swarming around the Democratic party. She just won't go away.

John Everett   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

So she still doesn't include the caucus votes in this. As a Washintonian i resent this. If she wants ALL the votes to count why is she leaving out all these states and caucus votes from Texas (which Obama won when you do)? She says that they are not democratic but didn't think so when Bill won them. And she gives NO vote to Obama in MI. Other canidates took their names off the ballet too. She agreed they didn't count. She is a cheater, lier, and party divider.

james from brooklyn   May 28th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

hILLARY sound like HOGAN'S WIFE SAYING THAT SHE IS SUFFERING MORE BECAUSE HER SON IS LOCK UP THAN THIS LADY WHO'S SON WILL NEVER WALK AGAIN. AND YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT SHE CAN RELATE TOTHE AVERAGE AMERICAN. SHE IS DONE POLITICALLY, SHE CAN NOW STAY HOME AND BAKE COOKIES AS SHE SUGGESTED BACK IN THE 90. ANYONE WHO THINK SHE HAS A CASE IS JUST AS STUPID AS SHE SOUND

GoHillary   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Why are all the OBAMABOTS begging Hillary to quit – because they know it's the only chance their girlyboy has of winning the nomination. The longer BO stays out in the open the more his inexperience shows. When are we going to get the next debate – oh yes, he's scared. Fantastic quality for a president don't you think?

mollygonz   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Why should Obama give in to revotes when those states broke the rules?? I don't understand all these people whining about "Obama blocked the re-votes"..ugh..there were so many reasons why he did that. People who voted in the first primary were not allowed to vote in the new primary..there is a huge list. Just think if the position were reversed. Please. HIllary is so desperate. I feel sorry for her. It is coming down to the wire and she is panicking. That's all this is. Obama just picked up three supers today. It doesn't look like she can do anything to convince anyone.

jt the Best Choice!   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Hillary is smarter.

Hillary is more polished.

Hillary know how the rules in Washington is played.

Hillary is better on all issues.

The only problem, the DNC and the Media are jealous.

McCain is beating Obama.

Hillary is beating McCain.

ChaChaCha   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

I will pray for ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN mentally corrupted by this SICK WOMAN and pray for your fast healing AS SOON AS THIS
CRAZINESS with her is OVER.

DNC–give her nothing at all–she signed on in agreement with the DNC rules and she WON NOTHING because the Fla. and Mich. primary's didn't count. IF YOU MUST, seat the delegates from those states in a 50-50 manner ONLY for them, not for her.

DELEGATES and SUPERDELEGATES—LISTEN NOT to Hillary because she is right off the wall. Show your support for some sanity in this entire race and EMBRACE OBAMA NOW. She doesn't care about the party or the people, ONLY HERSELF. She doesn't care about any of you either so don't begin to think that she does. Put her and the rest of us out of this misery and OBAMA WILL TAKE THE PARTY ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

Obama, stay as far away from the Clintons as you can. THEY ARE TROUBLE WITH A CAPITOL T that rhymes with C that stands for CLINTON.

Terry   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

When I think of the Clinton campaign I think of Baghdad Bob. Hillary is in denial and she doesn't care if she takes the party down with her.

Susan from Missouri   May 28th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

She should win!

She is the one who can go up against McCain.

She is for ALL the people!

She leads in the popular vote!

She is experienced!

She is a fighter!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dee   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

If she really cares for the Party she will Quit now , What a poor Loser , , They really can not accept this

Trey L.   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Maybe the Republicans had it right in the 90's and we just wouldn't listen! The Clinton's only care about the Clinton's.
Hillary will make up a new promise in every state she goes into…..she lie's about sniper fire, then she basically saids she should stay in the race if something bad happens to Obama! This woman is a joke….and she only hurts herself and the Democratic Party more when she opens her mouth. I hope to see a woman President one day but America this just ain't the right woman!
I must admit if I needed somebody to soften up my opponent before the General Elections she'd be my pick.

Please answer the following question truthfully, or make an educated guess:

a) The person who actually has the most numbers is the winner.

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

Shay from Canada   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

I am so tired of this this womans lies and constant changing metrics of what it takes to win the nomination. She initially said she did not need FL or MI to win the nomination and she signed the contract saying so. Now she wants the rules changed so that the votes count as they stand right now so Barack gets none, zero, zilch from MI and you call this fair. I am tired of her now when she clearly is out of the race she still attacks him why? I will tell you why the media has stopped paying attention to her. The race has moved on from her, it is now Mc Cain and Obama who are left. Let her continue to shout at an empty stadium. The rules are the rules and you agreed to them and for her supporters to charge sexism and then not be able to quote one example of it just got to fox news or you tube and look at the Ruccia lad y you will see what I mean. There has been no sexism but the Clintons have used the race card many times just like the bitter old lady geralidine Ferrraro. When all is said and done you can not claim you will do better then Barack when in Nov. The political landscape will change. Just remember this time last year she was saying in meet the press "when I am president" as though the race was already over and this nomination was a slam dunk for her. The times change and what you may see as a problem for Barack now may be a minor bump in the road. Time is the ultimate Judge and for HRC time has ruled that your time is as Spike Lee said "O-V-A-H" Now go home and let the obvious nominee get on with working on Mc Cain. The DNC rules committee is not going to seat the delagates strictly in your favour HRC so deal with it, at best 50:50. So deal with reality. I am tired of your constant changine metrics like you are winning the popular vote when you are not when you don't count caucus states and you give obama zero from MI when his name was not on the Ballot in other words you are be hind in Delgates(which determines the nominee), superdelagates and Popular vote according to the current metrics measured by all other metrics, you are behind in the number of states won. Where exactly are you winning? Oh I know where these poles of poles, that have been wrong on many occasions. Plain and simple you can stay until June 3rd or when the nominee is annouced but after that sister pack your bags and LEAVE! PS. these big states you claim to win that democrats need to win to be president like CA, in the words of Jack Cafferty "you could put a democratic chicken on the map on and it will win"

I am done with this whole nomination process………..Congrats* to our true and honest nominee Senator Barack Obama!

Oh Good Grief   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

To quote my Southern relatives: This chile done lost her evah lovin mind!

nycvoter   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

At long last, does this woman have "no sense of decency?" Every other day, as her the math counts down on her pathetic campaign, she comes up with another hair-brained scheme for trying to steal the nomination. She says she's actually going to lead in popular vote AND delegates? Really? That's about as accurate as the story about her dodging that sniper fire in Bosnia.

And let's be crystal clear about Michigan and Florida: This is what Hillary Clinton told an NPR reporter in New Hampshire earlier this year when asked why she didn't plan on taking her name off the ballot in MIchigan as the other candidates did at the time: "It's clear," she said. "This election they're having is not going to count for anything. I personally did not think it made any difference whether or not my name was on the ballot."

So now she's claiming a popular vote lead based on a primary she herself said "is not going to count for anything" and a primary in which NO other candidate was on the ballot. Ridiculous.

Hillary, just stop it!! You've already damaged your reputation, and now you're just trying to take the party down with you. GET OUT AND STAY OUT!! YOU LOST!!!

Chris from San Antonio   May 28th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Yes, she's winning.

IF you don't count caucus states.
IF you count states that she ran unopposed in. Those same states she said didn't count in 2007.
IF you don't count all the superdelegates going to Obama.

Yes, she's winning in her own, bizarro world where ifs and rainbows are policy.
Too bad she wasn't so concerned about caucuses and FL and MI back in December 2007.

Moderators are for OBama   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

You can post messages with these people calling Hillary names, but when I try to post the truth about what happened at the caucauses, you will not post it. People were intimidated and bullied and scared at the majority of the caucauses!!!!

marcelo   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

It's ironic that she wants to dismiss caucus votes completely but accuses the Obama of disenfranchising MI and FL voters.

Well, I've got news for you Hillary. YOU AGREED TO EXCLUDE MI AND FL VOTERS!!!… YOU ALSO AGREED TO PRIMARIES AND CAUCUSES!!!

Just because you're losing and these numbers benefit you, you want to change the rules… Well, stop being so arrogant to think that you're entitled to the Presidency.

Obama has played by the rules, has been calmly taking your false acusations and exagerations, and has refrained from sending nasty attacks back at you (not because there isn't anything to bring up i.e. Paul vs Clinton, Flip-flip on NAFTA, Lobbyists working for you, Lies about Bosnia, lies about winning the popular vote, distortions about Obama's positions, accusations that Obama is the one who stopped the MI and FL vote when your campaign supervisor is on the DNC Rules and By-laws Committee and agreed to exclude them!, accusations of sexism, accusations of favoritism). You've lost fair and square, deal with it.

No more Clintons - Good Bye   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

The Clinton's Legacy:

Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.

The White House has been stained enough with the Clintons.

Celisti   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

It's not Hillary to blame but Demo's voting system, which is not unified. If everyone vote in an all primary system, rather than some voting in the selected caucus and some voting in the primary, then there'll be no unfairness to everyone. Demo leaders created such a mess themselves and now, whether winner or loose cannot really say anything about the fairness in such an election.

I for one would vote to abolish such a stupid system! I think Hillary has every right to question its fairness.

Jeff   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

If you hate clinton so much turn off your dam tv and shut your pie hole. Even if she is going to lose she is showing she is a fighter and not going to give up. Has anyone told you to give up when things dont look good? come on people. grow up.

Count all the votes.   May 28th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Would you people in charge at CNN….PLEASE STOP printing these stories about Clinton…you are trying to get naive folks to believe the media spin…and you are trying to convince them that Clinton is actually a news story…she is no longer part of the story..she is a footnote to this and you need to just get over that your candidate lost. The Clinton News Network is not doing anyone any favors printing these ridiculous statements, especially Ms. Clinton..in the end, she looks like a loon.

rada   May 28th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

When Obama gets his delegates then she can concede… you all stop, it's not going to happen until everybody votes… it's only a week people. She is a politician with a lot of followers that are asking her campain to hang in there….I know most of you calling names and asking to drop do not understand the concept that she will have more people voting for HRC than any other primary in the history of our country and she deserves better. YALL COOL IT!!!

Proud1of 26% in WV   May 28th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

To start with she will lose both South Dakota and Montana.What kind of math is she using to think that she will gain 200 delegates to take that lead?Her way of counting is the only way that she is ahead in popular vote .If I was a superdelegate and she was treating me like I was that stupid it would'nt be hard to make my choice.Sha insists that caucus" don't count for anything.I bet if one put her ahead it would be the best thing since toilet tissue.

Lie to me...   May 28th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I promise, I'll believe.

Clinton supporters: if you are going to be steadfast in your support of Hillary Clinton, at least do so with the FACTS and NOT with the twisted arguments that are making her campaign a laughing stock. Obama did NOT "block" a re-vote or attempt to seat the delegates, and agreed a long time ago to abide by the DNC's decision. Obama is NOT stealing the nomination — on the contrary, he has followed the rules. If you don't like the caucuses, work to change them for the NEXT election. Hillary Clinton knew exactly what the deal was from the outset, never protested before, and is now crying foul over everything that does not support her candidacy.

In fact, why don't you just admit that that you want Hillary Clinton to win at any cost, because that's what every post seems to say.

Bob Obama, IN   May 28th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

It is delegates in FY 08. If you want to change the rules when you are losing, you look like the desperado you are.

OH   May 28th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

For those who are saying the Cacus system is unjustified, remember it was Hillary and her inside DNC guys; including her political director that wrote these laws.

If you people are not smart enough to read and understand the facts; why not do so before it is too late?

They both agreed to avoid FL and MI and the rules are that simple. It was Florida that gave Bush is first term and all the hanging chads and butterfly ballots cause this country to go to hell.

How many times can one state mess up so badly? How many times does it take to learn from their mistakes?

If you are looking to place blame, you should place them squarly on Hillary and the Florida delegation or Florida party leaders.

So course, it seem most Florida voters are not that smart in the first place. It is the Sun getting to your brain?

Charles   May 28th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

I will be glad when Obama is officially the Democratic Presidential Nominee, this has turned from a long shot for Hillary to a ridiculous situation for her. It is time for her to gracefully exit, which will never happen, not only will Obama win but her chances of professionalism are long gone. She should be joining Obama in trying to win the vote for the Democratic party and defeating McCain which should be her parties biggest priority. I did admire her drive and optimism at one time but now she sounds like a child not getting their way and doing everything and anything to gain attention. Go OBAMA, you will make a GREAT president and I will once again have faith and hope in America that we can and will turn things around in our Country !

Obama 2008 & 2012

Principles not People   May 28th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Okay, perhaps this is a silly question, but why would Clinton and Obama supporters vote for McCain if their chosen candidate is awarded the nomination?

Is it because McCain agrees with one candidate, but not the other on key issues? In fact, Clinton and Obama are almost the same candidate when you look at their viewpoints on the Economy, Foreign Policy, Abortion, etc. McCain differs greatly from them on these issues, especially Abortion as he believes Roe v Wade was made in bad judgement.

It seems more likely that these potential voters fell in love with a person rather than a principle.

This is exactly why the electoral college was founded, still exists, and will continue to exist long after we're all dust.

Alfa   May 28th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

She is so delusional its not funny. She is trying to win at all costs, even if it destroys the democratic party. She is not fooling anyone except her delusional husband. I am so sick of her spin and pandering, and her lies. Obama is a very strong candidate and an honest one at that.

OBAMA IS OUR ONLY HOPE TO WIN!

CLINTON IS DISINFRANCHISING ALL THOSE VOTERS THAT DID NOT COME OUT TO VOTE IN FL & MI BECAUSE THEY WERE TOLD IT DID NOT AND WAS NOT GOING TO COUNT.

IF ANYONE IS TRYING TO STEAL THIS ELECTION IT IS HER.

She has ran a very poor campaign. I am very tired of her rhetoric, spin, lies, pandering and flip flopping. She will do anything to win, including dividing the democratic party with all her hate.

I for one will not vote for her if she for some reason wins the nomination because of her spin. She has ruined it for me with all her disengenuous campaigning. She and her husband brought the disrespect upon themselves, no one did it to them, just more lies coming from her. I cannot wait til June 3rd, when its over.

I cannot stand listening to her bull. Its too bad her staff is just as delusional as she is.

BlameBarack   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

“We have not gone through this exciting, unprecedented, historic election only to lose,” Clinton told a crowd in Billings, Montana Tuesday.

Ok so then Obama has?

Hillary, you are an idiot!!!

Obama "08 and "12

Voters of the States of Florida and Michigan did nothing wrong when they went to vote in "Jan-Feb". Only the Officials of these States
violated the Democratic Party 's " time-rule".
The D-Party has no right to strip the Voting-Right of the Citizen, of the
Voters that the Constitution gave them.

Spirit of America   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

If the Democratic Party values democracy, then Clinton is the clear and correct choice for the Party's nominee. To nominate Obama when the peoples choice is clearly Clinton would be a fatal mistake from which the Democratic Party will and should never recover.

G   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

CNN is totally for Obama. I can't even post anything negative against Obama or Roland Martin or I get moderated. The caucauses were in some cases a dangerous situation.

Teddy   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Democrats should modify their primary system in the future elections. They should get rid of caucus system because most people do not have time and patience to spend a few hours in the caucus and they should use winner take all in a state or at least in a district. The general election is a winner-take-all system. You need a similar system in primary too.

But Hillary Clinton must accept the results under current system. After the Democratic party rule committee make a decision on the Florida and Michigan delegates and after all super delegates have decided, if Obama has more combined delegates, then Hillary Clinton must accept the defeat. A rule is a rule. You cannot change the rule in the middle of a game.

monica   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

This woman just won't give it up!! How on Earth does she expect to be ahead in delegates??

The Truth   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

HISTORY THOUGHT:

If Hillary had been with General George Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn she would have been trying to convince him that she thought they had a chance to win.

If Hillary was with the Germans on the shores of Normandy while thousands of allied ships and planes approached she would have said "I think we can win".

If Hillary was with Saddam hiding in his little dirt hole she would have told him " I think you still have a chance"……….

OBAMA "08!

Chris Jones   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Hilary you dont have popular vote, nor pledged delegates, nor superdelegates. Yes Hilary after the final 3 primaries, only being down 45-48 delegates, OBAMA can clinch NOMINATION. Hilary you are grasping for straws and if this was about the PARTY and NOT YOU, you would have stepped down in a HONORABLE FASHION, instead you flood the minds of voters to think this is about SEXISM, well lets talk about Kentucky and the whites who dont want a black president, OH you got most of the votes but dont hear OBAMA saying this is now a RACE thing. The right thing should have been if your voting for me because OBAMA is BLACK, I DONT WANT YOUR VOTE. BUt like all CLINTONS your selfish and only think of yourself

Al   May 28th, 2008 1:37 pm ET

This is hillarious

Hillary please keep going on, its adding entertainment to the election. You are providing the people with the comedy we need.

Please make more comments for example,

1.) That you won the primary
2.) You will defeat John McCain

Please be more creative and say new things. We need more creative comedy.

Thanks,
Democrat

Kim   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

She is really losing perspective. As her desperation continues she is making herself look worse and worse. My family in NY and NJ voted for her in those primaries (against me begging them to vote for Obama) but they now are relieved she is behind and likely not going to be the nominee. The NY relatives are seriously doubting they are going to vote for her again if she runs for another Senate term. Pathetic.

Sharon   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Obama will lose for tolerating hatred for 20 years. DNC, and superdelegates are self-centered and just supporting him for the fear of losing black votes…

Carmen, North Carolina   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I hope that all the Africian American's supporting Hillary realize that she is unstable and do not and I repeat do not take you at heart. She always make reference to racial statements, but if you every look and think about what she is doing, you would see that Obama is a black man and she don't like that at all. Now if Obama was white would we have all this drama and you Black Women still supporting Hillary? You vote for who you want but I have turn the dial on Hillary with all her flip and flops with the Black People. I hope you are satisfied with her because she is not your friend. As she say Jim Crow and slavery is the black people best friends.

Think about it black people. Pride will lead you astray only if you think of how Hillary was twisted your minds.

Mary   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Senator Hillary Clinton is ahead in the popular vote. The Obama campaign and supporters just want to keep the big lie going. The
OB people are scum.

G   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

You can post messages with these people calling Hillary names, but when I try to post the truth about what happened at the caucauses, you will not post it. People were intimidated and bullied and scared at the majority of the caucauses.

bill in pa   May 28th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

She leads in delegates in primaries. So she wants to eliminate all of the states that held caucuses. This is one pathetic excuse for a human being.

Amber   May 28th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Hmmmm….CNN…still no story on the superdelegate defection from Obama TO Clinton??? Of course not…you're one of the bias stations.

What a joke CNN has become! Do us bloggers have to do your investigation and research for you?? Baby steps… go check out the african american male superdelegate that just defected from Obama to Clinton!!!

TheOutsideLookingIn   May 28th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

This is all going to end in very bad taste and the whole process is going to make the USA look even worse than ever.

The DNC will pander to HRC as most of those "high up" in the DNC did not expect or want Obama to be the niminee. At the time, no one was worried 'cos HRC was ahead. Now those in power in the DNC see the FL and MI case(s) as one last chance to help HRC over the top, which is what was "planned" and "expected" all along – her being the nominee that is.

Somehow, HRC is going to be "given" the nomination in spite of being beaten and it'll all be made to look "right" and "legal" following a new interpretation of the "rules".

Obama is the USA's best hope to move forward and from the brink of falling into a very dark period but he'll be ousted by the more "powerful" and the world will look on and groan and laugh (maybe) and loose even more respect for a once all-powerful nation.

Oh how the mighty fall. Not just Clinton, McCain Obama but the USA as a whole.

Sad, but the whole world still looks on with a little hope and faith.

Joiner in Texas   May 28th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I hope that she is out of this race very soon. I am tried of the lies and whining she is doing all the time. Her facts are wrong, but she is Hillary and actual facts apparently do not matter much (unless the facts are for her anyway).

If the DNC lets her win by her lies, her whining, by letting the votes in MI count towards her, it will cause such a disturbance in the country we might as well pick McCain as KING and just do away with voting all together.

What she is doing is wrong to each and every American who follows the rules of the country. Breaking the rules is wrong and if we are to teach our children right from wrong and not to break rules. It makes it harder for us, when they see that when the rules are broken by others they are rewarded.

If she cheats her way in, what is next, and how are we to put others in jail for breaking laws that hurt no-one, when others (with money i might add) break the rules that effect millions.

I guess the few wealthy run this country and not the American people.

OLDER WOMEN FOR OBAMA, 08

Independent   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

DEMONIZING HILLARY: Every woman in this country should be outraged by the treatment Hillary Clinton has received as a presidential candidate. She is a victim of sexism, discrimination and media onslaught in proportions this country has never seen before. Male dominated media including some veteran journalists have lost all sense of fairness and balance when covering Hillary. They caricature her unfairly, quote her out of context, magnify her shortcomings, want her drop out of the race halfway through the race, belittle her lifelong service to this country, and ignore her service on behalf of children. I think all these are because of her gender. This makes one wonder how these seasoned politicians and payed spin doctors of the silver screen treat women in their own lives. Even some of the Democratic Party leaders who cried foul in 2000 with the Florida election fiasco are so eager to suppress millions of votes of Florida and Michigan to deny Hillary the nomination and to fix the election. That is hypocrisy. We should never allow this to happen in this country.

Karl Toronto   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Wake-up Hillary and smell the delegates

dajack   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

The "you go girl" attitude is really tiresome. I am so sick of listening to the Clintons try to succeed by changing the rules. A woman president is a wonderful idea – but it's not worth the loss of integrity.

It's over, whether the lady in the pants suit likes it or not.

New Day   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I'm ok with her being in the race until the end. It just bothers me that she is so eager to make up lies and skew reality. So, now we should only count delegates from primaries and we should count the vote of Florida and Michigan even though both states knew their votes wouldnt count ahead of time? What if, under those conditions she still doesnt have the popular vote? Should we then only count the votes where people in states she's won?

This is getting ridiculous!!! So, we can't disenfranchise Florida and Michigan, who broke the rules but, we can disenfranchise all the caucus states that followed the rules?

COUNT EVERY VOTE   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

She will win if you count her 18 states…but she will lose if you count all 34 states obama has won. This is really dissapointing.

Count all the votes from every state and she will lose everytime. Good luck with winning your state senate seat.

Shawn, Takoma Park, MD   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

LOL @ her Karl Rove election analysis!

She is just making a total fool of herself at this point. There is not ONE single argument, twist or slant that supports her idea that she deserves the nomination or is stronger against McCain. Not one.

Hillary has lost it and it's sad.

John Karsten, Virginia Beach, VA   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Yeah, I expect to have 109 million dollars! See, I can expect to have alot of things HRC, but nobody will give me what I expect. What a stupid woman. The day I don't have to hear her potty mouth will be a very great awesome day!!

YES WE CAN   May 28th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Hillary needs to check with James Carvelle. He told Diane Sawyer this morning that Barack Obama will win in November against McCain.

James Carvelle said he would also support Barack Obama.

j   May 28th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

There's that fuzzy math again. She leads in popular vote if you don't count any of the states that held caucus elections. She can lead in pledged delegates on if pledged delegates for Obama switch sides, which is unlikely to happen. Same goes for superdelegates and the majority most likely won't go against the pledged delegate count. What's more likely to happen is that she's going to cause the Democrats to lose the November election because she prevents the party from unifying.

jc   May 28th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

No matter how rude and tasteless you Obama supporters are you can't make the millions of people supporting our Gal Hill go away. We love her, we stand by her and unless we find out that she's been "hob knobbing" with Ayers, or Rev. Wright or Rezko, we will stand by her forever in whatever her endeavor. Take your rudeness over to Obama's house and see how welcome you are.

WHEN DOES HILLARY EVER FOLLOW RULES?? SHE GOES AROUND MAKING UP HER OWN RULES TO SUIT HER SELFISH AMBITIONS!!! The Clintons are nothing but big CRYBABIES THAT CANNOT WIN BY THE RULES! Why is she not even "CARING" about the millions of caucus voters?? Oh, I forgot, she did not win those, so those voters DO NOT COUNT! Hillary does not give a darn about disenfranchising those voters, just like the disenfranchised voters that did not come out to vote in FL and MI because they knew it would not count!! HILLARY IS SUCH A LIAR LIAR PANTSUIT ON FIRE!!!

Hilliary supporters,

so counting legal and valid caucuses is undemocratic but its counting the soviet style one cadidate election that took place in Michigan is what democracy is all about?

Hillary Speaks 4 me   May 28th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

OBAMA SUPPORTERS: LISTEN UP!!!

EVERY SINGLE WORD THIS WOMAN SAYS IS EITHER TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR TWISTED TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE.

Hillary never once said that caucuses don't count or that they don't matter… You people are ridiculous. Get a grip..

The point is that PRIMARY Elections are more representative of the will of the majority of voters and more closely demonstrates how voters will turn out in the GE. Caucuses only cater to the small percentage of party activists usually 1% to 5% of the registered voters. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to participate due to the time constraints and voters do not enjoy the right to a private vote.. Young voters and seniors are often intimidated by the process of having to publicly announce their choice. A vote is a personal and private matter.

The nomination process ends at the Convention. This is how the nomination process works..It's always been this way. primaries and caucuses were only added in the last 50 years.

There is a purpose for having a convention. It's an opportunity to determine a nominee in the event that there is not a clear winner OR if that winner is not who the majority of ALL the delegates ultimately feels has the best chance of winning the GE.

The primaries/caucuses were set up to have the a average voter involved in the decision making process. Not to be the final word. otherwise what purpose would the Convention and the selection of delegates serve?
IF OBAMA IS WHO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS THEN THEY WILL HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AT THE CONVENTION…. We all have to accept that as the final word.

james from brooklyn   May 28th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

cliton is insulting every uncommitted superdelegate and they are really buying her time to still this nomitation. no matter which calculator she use, she will still be behind in everything. strong does't mean better. she is making making a strong case for herself , rightfully so, but OBMA has been better and more effective. she claim she can run a stronger campaign against the RNC but the RNC got more dirt on her and her than they do on Obama. AGAIN, strong isn't better and OBAMA has proven time and time again that he is the BETTER CANDIDATE.

I am also considering a lawsuit on the Florida DNC for letting this happen to us florida voters to begin with. This is not the voters fault in Florida but the democrats in Washington. My vote will count and I will sue every Obamatition and lawmaker until it does. Hey, I might get rich and run for president like Obama.

Lisa from VA   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

I agree with Walt. How on earth are her supporters not hanging their heads in shame as they watch the outrageous behavior and rantings of their candidate.

Ruthie   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Hillary must be imbibing too much whiskey from Canada [rather than Makers Mark from Kentucky]. She should run for Queen Hillary of the USA with a palace in Puerto Rico. A summer villa in Florida. Her daughter would become Princess. Of course, Bill would be Court Jester.

Muyiwa   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Can someone pls stuff some cotton balls into Hillary's big blaspeming mouth??????

Someone like her ridicules what american democracy is all about.she paints american democracy as self-serving, opportunistic,divisive and gold digging which is what it is to those of us living in Africa anyway.

Someone like hillary will burn down DR Congo, destroy Iraq,cause divisions in the UN just to serve her personal interest.

American Democracy Stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Learn from African Traditional Succession systems

Janel, St. Paul, MN   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

So she finally admits her "popular vote" win does not include the caucuses. What a slap in the face to all those who participated and to the staff who worked so hard for a victory for her in the caucus states.

Unbelievable!!

tex   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

So let me get this straight…

It's not alright to take the votes away from the voters in Florida and Michigan that she agreed to disenfranchise last year; but, it is alright to take the votes away from numerous rule-abiding states that prefer caucuses over primaries?

Someone please drop a house on or pour some water over the wicked witch already.

from CT   May 28th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

What a great example for kids, follow the rule's and get screwed. Nice Hillary, you and your insanely selfish supporters are GREAT rollmodels, just what we need!!!

Debby   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Some caucuses were good and some were totally unruly. Primaries in my opinion are the only way for fair voting unless you are Florida and Michigan unfortunately and the DNC doesn't want to count over 2 million votes. I bet if Roland Martin's vote didn't count for Obama in either Michigan or Florida, he would be all over these blogs like he was for the ruling about Clinton.

CLEAN   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

ALL CNN BLOGGERS SHOULD TAKE A STEP BACK AND LET THIS THING DIE.

J T Bigglesworth   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

How in the world can she claim that she will be ahead in the pledged delegate count? She is 160 pledged delegates behind and there are only 55 (PR) and 31 (MT,SD) = 86 delegates left. How in the world can she even claim that she will have more votes. At best, she will split the 86 roughly in half; then she'll still be behind by 160 delegates. Even if MI and FL votes are counted, there will be no way to make up the 160 delegates. What exactly does she think it means to say that someone has clinched the majority of delegates? Has she lost her mind? The nomination is decided on delegates — not popular vote, not "electability", not gender, nor any of the other constantly-amended metrics which she's thrown out. It's no wonder that both Obama and McCain are ignoring HRC at this point — she's no longer making any sense. As Jimmy Carter said, HRC needs to "give it up".

aaron   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

the caucus method "disenfrachises" voters???? So she wants to throw out Colorado's votes and disenfranchise me then? she is crazy

BMan62   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Just remember … the root of hillarious is Hillary :P

Seriously, with the negative rating HRC has right now, 61%, I don't believe this is the person to be running this country.

Major Michael in Lorton, Virginia   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Another confabulation on Hillary's part. Obama will reached the magic delegate number buy June 3. If my memory serves me correctly, Obama leads in pledge delegates, political delegates and popular votes………and that is even if you give Hillary all the pledge delegates of Florida and Michigan…..Hillary's math doesn't fit the standard module……at least when she is calculating it……but with all said and done……..mathematics do not confabulate…….you have lost Hillary……..take your place in history.

Jim   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

I have been a DEM over 50 years, and served in the US Matrines. After the way Your people at NBC, and MSNBC treated Sen.Clinton, I will vote Sen. Mccain over Sen. Obama because, Obama the "Tourist!
"Touring" is ALL Obama has done during these primaries. Touring all 57 states, and one to go AK,and HI with the money of the blind sheep he's leading to slaughter, touring on the tail of the liberal media, touring on a couple of books he wrote (and even there he stole the title "Audacity of Hope" from that pastor whom he now "disowns. "Touring" on the coattails of Hillary Clinton, whose EVERY PROGRM he now mimicks as "his own," touring on his 120 "present" votes in the Illinois Senate, and now "touring" in Florida, now trying to convince the voters there to go for him. By the way, folks, Obama kept himself on the ballot in Florida, and if he had won — which he did NOT — he'd be "touring" to the convention in a much better position. I'm not interested in a "tourist" as president. I'm intersted in a proven native. I WILL WRITE IN HILLARY'S NAME ON THE NOVEMBER BALLOT if the DNC and back-stabbing superdelgates try to shove Obama down our throats

George in Indianapolis   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Bill Clinton was the first Democratic President I ever voted for. I was a staunch Hillary Backer until Iowa. As I ooked at the candidates and their supporters, the Clinton Camp got crazier and the Obama camp got smater. this has continued to the point that Bill Clinton is just another senile old white guy and Hillary is totally delusional, and the only one in the family that is making any sense is Chealse who is being quiet. funy how paraents find it so hard to learn from their children. I really feel sorry for them. I once loved them both. Now their place in history will be marred by a failed attempt to undermine the American electorate. Movies will be made about this and the Clintons will fade into Obsurity and the only legacy that will be left will be the Clinton Library that may have been built with ileagle funds. So san so sad.

Marie   May 28th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Senator Clinton – Would you mind explaining why a vote in a Caucus doesn't count, but a vote in a Primary does. I guess votes only matter when they are for you and no one else. Voters in South Dakota, Montana and Puerto Rico better wake up and pay attention. You vote her in as the nominee and the entire country loses!

Tell me Evillary how is it that MI/FL votes matter when the caucus States does not matter? Sounds like double standards, at first you weren'd concern about these two states. Now that you are not the front runner it seems to matter.

You are in it for only yourself, you Clintons are sickening and pitiful. Poor Hillary can not get her way so therefore lets destroy to party.

JUNE IS THE MONTH FOR WINNERS ARE THE DREADFUL THING THAT HAPPEN TO RFK.

Dennis   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Senator Clinton's stance on caucuses really irritates me. She doesn't want to count them, because she says she believes that they disenfranchise too many voters. Yet, she takes the extra step by disenfranchising them more by not considering the votes of those that did participate in her calculations.

So, I must ask, where was Senator Clinton's displeasure with the caucus system voiced before the primaries started? Why is her displeasure only being voiced once she started to lose the caucuses? Why is she so insistent on changing the rules by which the nominee is selected after the process has started?

Akuvi   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Hi,

I am in Minneapolis. Since the beginning of the campaign Hillary was nasty to Obama. I look up to Bill Clinton a lot, but now I do not know how I feel.

If Hillary is the one leading, they will press Obama to give up. Do to people what you want people to do to you. She's just a nasty and bitter woman, that's why her husband cheated on her. She's racist.

Mk   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

hmmmm and so the caucus votes don't count?
Its okay to disenfranchise SOME voters, just not the ones that will help her. She is a real piece of work. We all know that the caucus votes can't be counted in her fantasy so she just leaves them out.

I was once one of those Obama supporters who would have voted for Hillary if she were to get the nomination.
But not now. She is as transparent as they come. Not to be trusted.

What did you say?   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Democrat – shut up. Watch the news a little more and get educated on things because here….you sound like the village idiot you obviously are. Just be silent.

No Obama – you should just turn off your computer because reading your post was a waste of time. You better get your mind right and ready because it's the "african" that will be saying God Bless America from the Oval Office before it's all said and done.

Hillary came into this race thinking she had it in the bag because she was running against a black man. The truth is the gig is up but she can't stand the thought of losing… let alone losing to a black man.

Where she stands: if I can't have it, I'm going to destroy it! Nice committment to the country eh?

James   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

wow…. Dont this woman simply get it…. we need change…. we are tired of Bushes / Clintons… can somebody please tell her to please go away and take her family with them….. she can even handle her campaign, but she wants to run the country,… please BILARY go home….

Chipster   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Howard Dean says FL & MI voters cannot be disenfranchised because this wasn't a general election. I wonder what he'll say in November when the FL & MI voters disenfranchise the Democratic Party?

FL & MI voters are very likely to say, "You didn't respect our votes in the primary, although you approved of SC's primary change from 2/5 to 1/29 to 1/26, so we'll sit this one out."

Oh, Dean was certain SC would go for Sen. Obama and give him a big boost in the contest. FL would most certainly have given Sen. Clinton a huge boost since it's a critical electoral state. Howard Dean is destroying the chance to elect a Democrat this fall.

Jose   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Too easy, too dirty, very unhuman, but very self-interest. Please stop.

Garth   May 28th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Isn't ignoring the State Democratic Committees of the states that held caucuses disenfranchising those voters?

Rules are Rules. You lost because your team didn't know the rules and figure out how to play with them.

I can see it now, She gets the nomination (heaven forbid) and argues in November how the Electoral College is slanted away from her when she loses because everyone hates her.

They don't like you stupid. They want you to make a fool of yourself so they can laugh at you this fall. I hope the superdelegates know that you are an unstable female who loves drama. Please supers don't give her the chance to ruin this democratic election.

Roger   May 28th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

I wxpect barack to WIN! But even if he didn't, I would rather lose with him than win with an allery cat like Hikkary and her philandering husband.

United Democrat   May 28th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Hillary- You are so selfish…look what you are doing to your party..all because of your pathetic dwindling pride and honor. Congratulations on your stupidity.

don   May 28th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

clinton,pls just give it up, u just want to destory the party, u and your husband. shame on you guys. you signed and said fl and mi will not count b/c you think you will win , now u and your supporter are shouting loud all b/c you are a clinton. pls clinton just go and let start with mcsame.

MI Women 4 Obama!   May 28th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Let's see…

Don't count causes because it leaves too many disenfranchised (of course Hillary lost those….)

Count MI and FL as they are because to not count them leaves to many people disenfranchised (of course Hillary thinks she won those…)

Anyway you look at this Hillary just trys to spin things to her advantage. Rather than being out trying to win the GE [like Barack], she is still kicking and screaming and whining…..and lieing!

SUPERS…..YOU CAN END THIS BEFORE SATURDAY! If you move the number out from 2026 to 2210 then you are probably sealing the Democratic demise in November. If you don't shut the Clinton's down they will continue thier nonsense and completely split the party.

I have got to tell you Supers….the only reason I am voting Democratic is because of Barack and there are plenty of us out here that have crossed over from Republican to Democrat because of Barack.

I for one….if I have to put up with 4 more years of Misery…it will be under McCain but never a Clinton.

END THIS NOW!

Obama 08/12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUSH POLITICS, IF THE LIE IS BIG ENOUGH THEY WILL BELIEVE IT.

Michael, an independent Canadian   May 28th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

To: Christoffel van Vuuren – Montreal – Canada

Obama has earned everything that he has. Nobody is giving it to him on a silver platter!!! If you had any political sense of what is happening, you would know that she is obsessed with power and is prepared to bring the party down if she is not the candidate.

Why don't be like the majority of Canadians and support Obama?

Ify from NY   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Her husband won with same method as Obama in 1992 and all of a sudden it doesn't matter any more to her and her coalition. What do we teach our children? Win by all means necessary or play by the rules? Obama has played by the rule and in the process shown our young people that someone can actually play by the rule and win. Something most of our young people are struggling with. That is integrity to me. Obama has it but same can't be said about Hillary Clinton.

ken   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

We have forgiven you your insistence that there have been widespread calls for you to end your campaign, when such calls had been few. We have forgiven you your misspeaking about Martin Luther King's relative importance to the Civil Rights movement. We have forgiven you your misspeaking about your under-fire landing in Bosnia. We have forgiven you insisting Michigan's vote wouldn't count and then claiming those who would not count it were Un-Democratic. We have forgiven you pledging to not campaign in Florida and thus disenfranchise voters there, and then claim those who stuck to those rules were as wrong as those who defended slavery or denied women the vote. We have forgiven you the photos of Osama Bin Laden in an anti-Obama ad… We have forgiven you fawning over the fairness of Fox News while they were still calling you a murderer. We have forgiven you accepting Richard Mellon Scaife's endorsement and then laughing as you described his "deathbed conversion." We have forgiven you quoting the electoral predictions of Boss Karl Rove. We have forgiven you the 3 a.m. Phone Call commercial. We have forgiven you President Clinton's disparaging comparison of the Obama candidacy to Jesse Jackson's. We have forgiven you Geraldine Ferraro's national radio interview suggesting Obama would not still be in the race had he been a white man. We have forgiven you the dozen changing metrics and the endless self-contradictions of your insistence that your nomination is mathematically probable rather than a statistical impossibility. We have forgiven you your declaration of some primary states as counting and some as not. We have forgiven you exploiting Jeremiah Wright in front of the editorial board of the lunatic-fringe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. We have forgiven you exploiting William Ayers in front of the debate on ABC. We have forgiven you for boasting of your "support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans"… We have even forgiven you repeatedly praising Senator McCain at Senator Obama's expense, and your own expense, and the Democratic ticket's expense.

john   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

If she is this clear about her lead using this corrupted metric as a candidate what sort of mess will she make in the Whitehouse using the same crazy metric.

Hillary must be having her 3am moment and she aint looking good.

Kentucky   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

What type of medication is Hillary taking? Please explain how Senator Obama has cheated?

In regard to FL and MI – I suggest that all you individuals that keep stated that He denied these states to lose their vote – please go do some indepth homework.

Some of Senator Clinton staff help write and implement the rules that stated that if FL and MI held their primary early that their election would be denied.

Senator Clinton as well as Obama and Edward and others signed off on this statement.

It was only after Obama was winning and she was losing did she
find some friends (of hers) to say they would unwrite the expenses for these two states to have reelection. How many knowledgeable people would all agree to this – no one.

So please explain to me how Senator Obama has cheated.

GO OBAMA 08

Joe Regis   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

She is in it too.

She is in it for the dance of the politics.

She like the Dance not for the politics at this point.

Hakim   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

As an Obama supporter certain things ring true:

- He leads in total pledged delegates, superdelegates and popular vote.
- He has been very complimentary to Sen. Clinton (see his speech on the Oregon/Kentucky primary night) and has not made her being a woman an issue as for some reason Clinton supporters have drank the kool-aid of thinking this.
- He brings a new brand of thinking into the Presidency and yes he does have experience.
- Sen. Clinton will lose the experience argument when going against McCain and no one energizes the right wing like Hillary does.
- If Obama did not win I would vote for HRC, I am a democrat first and I DO NOT WANT MCCAIN. Spite is not a reason not to vote for someone and also folks should not get the mind set that butts should be kissed for their votes (in reference to those Hillary supporters who feel they won't vote for Obama because they feel bloggers haven't been nice enough to them). Forget what bloggers say, Obama has been uplifting of Clinton.
-Lastly he's not George Bush and does not follow any of his policies like McCain does.

Democrats please unite. This election has NOT been stolen from HRC she is losing fair and square. Obama didn't steal votes from her primary voters and caucus voters voted more for Obama than HRC. She was the clear front-runner up until the night of the Iowa Caucus. Sexism did not lose her the election and is a disservice to her and other women. You don't hear Obama talking about since he's black he's not winning by 400 delegates. Too many times you hear HRC talking about how she is losing because she is a woman and how being a woman has been a huge detriment. Let's not forget Obama is black and that's a detriment as well, bother being black and a woman are deteriments but Obama is not wearning being black on his sleeve.
Obama and Democrats '08 and '12.

JJ-Orlando   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I want my vote to count just like all the rest of the majority in Florida for Hillary. If it does not count then we will protest by voting Mc Cain in the November election. None of the lets go 50/50 thats crazy, no thats commie.

Sante   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Obama suporters, haven' you inderstud that you gay has to wait.
He does not offer anything , but Clinton's solutions boroued by him.

Obama picks up three superdelegates

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama picked up the support of superdelegates from Colorado, Oregon and Guam Wednesday as he moved closer to securing the Democratic presidential nomination.

James, SC   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

A lot of folks say that Senator Clinton is better qualified to be President than Senator Obama. If her husband were President (which he was), then wouldn’t you think that she would have known ALL of the details and techniques needed to secure the Democratic Party nomination? No other candidate in the 2008 Presidential Race has had this advantage. Yet, she is running second at best. Maybe, just maybe the people have spoken and their choice isn’t Senator Clinton. There are many, “if this or if that scenarios,” we can say or use. But, the truth is that ALL of the candidates (democrats and republicans) knew the rules when the primary season started; and those rules will NOT change during the primaries. Candidates may complain about how a rule or two works, however being adults and hopefully mature voters we know how important it is to follow guidelines (rules) established for all the people involved. My biggest shame is to watch a former President blatantly bend and manipulate the rules to meet his wants and needs. But most of all, I most disappointed in the citizens (voters) who fall in line with this kind of antics; and support this behavior so strongly. The question we should be asking ourselves would be: is this the kind of examples in life that we want to teacher our children? When our children go to school, do what they are instructed to do, complete all their work correctly, and behave as required by the school’s by-laws do we expect them to receive poor grades for their performance? Why would we punish them when they have done what we asked them to do? Therefore, to suggest that we should reward poor performance, results, and behavior would not only insult those children who performed well, but also destroy the core of what we have established to keep us all unified. Why do we feel that because we are adults that the rule system no longer applies?

What about the caucuses?   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Does she just like to anger caucus states?

enough already   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

shut the hell up hillary, you are delusional..give it up.

1926   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I have never heard such hatred and vitriol. Be ashaned. You act like only you know the truth. Senator Obama is not ready to lead, look at all the mistakes he has made. You better hope he isnt elected. I know I dont want him, but I am not going to send my soul to hell hating him, like the Senator Clinton haters are doing.

Shawn   May 28th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

A Clinton supporter's arguments:

1) 'Obama should drop out because he cannot win the general'.

- never mind that Hillary can't even win the primary.

2) 'Obama has no experience:

- as opposed to Hillary's 'experience' as a first lady?

3) 'Don't vote for Obama since he will definately lose the general.'
- instead, vote for Hillary who has lied, slung mud, flip flopped, lied, lied, ran a train wreck of a campaign with $20 million debt.

4) Hillary has the popular vote.
- IF you don't count caucuses, count FL and MI despite the fact that most people didn't vote AND obama's name wasn't on the ballot AND hillary herself agreed to not have them count initially when it suited her. Change the rules whenever she feels like it.

5) 'Obama supporters are mean'
- i don't even know what to say about this one.

Steve   May 28th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

I do not want to send my children to the same schools Hillary went to. They don't even teach you how to add.

Critical View   May 28th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

If you do not like Bush’s policy to continue, you should choose a Democratic candidate who can beat McCain in November. Obama cannot win, but Hillary can, as indicated in the following latest polls:
5/26 Rusmussen Polls in Kentucky: Clinton 51% McCain 42% (Clinton +9%)
Obama 32% McCain 57% (Obama -25%)
5/24 Newsweek Polls General Election: Clinton 48% McCain 44% (Clinton +4%)
Obama 46% McCain 46% (Tied)
5/17 -19 USA Survey North Carolina: Clinton 49% McCain 43% (Clinton +6%)
Obama 43% McCain 51% (Obama -8%)
5/22 Rusmussen Polls Nevada: Clinton 46% McCain 41% (Clinton +5%)
Obama 40% McCain 46% (Obama -6%)
5/22 Quinnipiac Polls Ohio: Clinton 48% McCain 41% (Clinton +7%)
Obama 40% McCain 44% (Obama -4%)
5/22 Quinnipiac Polls Florida: Clinton 48% McCain 41% (Clinton +7%)
Obama 41% McCain 45% (Obama -4%)
5/21 USA Survey Missouri: Clinton 48% McCain 46% (Clinton +2%)
Obama 45% McCain 48% (Obama -3%)
If FL and MI delegates are not seated properly, Hillary should continue the fight, because that is the only hope for the Democrats to win in November. Do not follow Carter. He does not have the winning strategy.
Recently CNN AC360 questioned Bill Clinton’s question of media suppressing information that favored Hillary. I also found that CNN has consistently covered up information. This is quite obvious if the readers check the above poll results against the following CNN report today: “ Recent polls out of the crucial swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida have indicated she has a better chance of beating McCain in those places than Barack Obama. But the Illinois senator performs better in several other swing states that Democrats have historically had difficulty winning, such as New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado.”

HRG   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Not so hard to believe when you consider the source.

This country would be in serious trouble if it ever had a president as immoral, unethical, unprincipled and law-flouting as HRC. And I thought Bush was bad!

Think of the greater good, HRC, the United States of America, and do all you can to get a Democrat elected in November – even if it's Obama and not you!

Nicole in NE   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

It doesn't matter if people don't like how caucuses are done, THE POINT IS WE SHOWED UP TO HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD TOO!

So great, change the rules for next time – everyone has a primary, but you cannot just pick and chose who want to count.

THAT, my friend is undemocratic. period.

Sam   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Bangus 1er   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

CNN let me first start by asking you why you never post anything I write?My comments are always awaiting moderation

Watching and listening to HRC and her camp , I came to the conclusion that she's for a graceful exit but is being told otherwise by her advisers.Chiefly :Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes.
For the simple fact that they blew what was supposed to be a walk in the park: her coronation.

Michel Cancan   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

She reminds me of the IRAQI INFORMATION MINISTER during the us Invasion of Iraq. Remember his famous quotes; speaking of the US Army:
"They are not in Baghdad. They are not in control of any airport. I tell you this. It is all a lie. They lie. It is a hollywood movie. You do not believe them."
She and him have the same sort of language.

PDX   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Please end the madness already Super Delegates! She argues that every state and every vote should count yet she wants to disenfranchise caucasus states? Hillary needs to be called out on her hypocrisy. All Hillary is doing is showing how unfit she is to be the President of the United States and that's unfortunate.

Mental Hospital   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

I'm starting to think that we should really be concerned about Mrs. Clinton's mental health. It was funny for awhile, then annoying, then downright maddening – but now, I think she's crossed the line into full-blown dementia.

Someone close to her might want to think about institutionalization – at least for the short term. Get her on some tranquilizers or something at least.

As to the people still 'supporting' Mrs. Clinton – they might want to think about a little self-examination of their own mental health. Can't be a good sign to consistently agree with total lunacy.

Susan   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

She is so over the top. I had once respected her. Now it hurts my ears to hear her speak or look at her on t.v. She does not represent my generation of women who worked to get respect. She has no respect for herself or her party. This woman is a national disgarce to women everywhere. To try to use sexism to stal an election is ridiculous. One more not – she is NOT winning the popular vote! OBAMA 08

bridgette   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

I have never heard people say caucuses were undemocratic until this year. I thought democratic meant if that state decided to have a caucus then they could do it without the person who is looisng calling it undemocratic. I think that this is getting silly and sad now. It is a race and the end result of a race is someone will win and someone will loose. And she has lost. I think he was just a better candidate than everyone gave him credit for. People underestimated him and didn't take him serious. That was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. Because it gave him time to build a great team and to go around and just meet people in all of the states that he won in and let them get to know him. And it has been proven the longer he stays in a state the better he does. People get to know him and they seem too like what he has to say. This process is not undemocratic she just lost.

OldUncleTom   May 28th, 2008 1:26 pm ET

Sonya   May 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

GO HILLARY!!! You are the only one true democratic candidate in this race. Hillary is the most intelligent, she had REAL solutions and she is not the dirty poltitcian the BO is. He is an insult to America. How can anyone stand behind a person for President who is an UNPATRIOTIC ans he is? You Obamabots are insane.
Hillary will ultimately win this nomination and BO can go back to doing his dirty dealings with old Rezzie!!

Don for Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Wow, quoting Karl Rove, from what I know, the popular vote does not

count in November, so why should that be her sole argument, will she be

telling McCain to give up the presidency in November if she won the

popular vote and lost the electoral college votes?

Lisa   May 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

She thinks PR "popular" vote counts more than CO, WA, IO and others who have voted for Obama; even though the Federal government doesn't permit PR to even vote in the general election.

Rebecca   May 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

She is now getting out of hand. She is cherry picking any data that will help her out and leaving out data that doesn't help her. Clinton and her supporters are CHERRY PICKERS. Knock it off, you are all truly becoming more and more dillusional every day. Quit digging a hole that you can't get yourselves out of. The Clintons are ruining there names if they haven't already. How will she be able to go back to Washington after this is all said and done. There will be so many people upset with her for misleading and lying only to support her personal cause.

The O   May 28th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

Hey Heferly it's the delegates that count. say what you want to say you have still lost, get over it get out of it and move on!!!!!!

Hillary , you are annoying, untruthful, and can't count…….

norma   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

You people who bash Hillary should be ashamed of yourselves for treating a human like you have done. It seems like Obama supporters aren't so intellingent, they just want a black man in there, and don't care how the country is ran.

racy Collins   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

She agreed FL and MI would not count if they held earlier primaries. Later, when she realizes that Obama had out-organized, out-planned, out-financed, just totally finessed her, the elistists that the Clintons, are demands that the rules be changed to favor the Clintons. Very. Poor. Sportship. Not racist, not sexist, just common cheats.

Garyville, LA Girl   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

This article is trivial in the grand scheme of things. The larger issue is that Clinton supporters would rather support McCain (or not vote, which is just the same) than to vote for Obama.

Fred   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

I admire her tenacity but not her sense of honor. The Clintons ambition is totally self-serving, not a virture for an elected representative.

Lok at Florida for example. Even if the rules committee contradicted itself and included Florida if the majority of Edwards votes go to Obama she doesn't pick up a ton of delegates. I don't know how to count Michigan without Obama on the ballot. Obama still wins the majority of delegates and the nomination based on the results.

She does have an argument with the supers as she appears to be the stronger general election candiadte at the moment. However, they defy the delegate results at their own peril.

I think most superdelegates are tired of and truned off by this adventure and are ready to drive the nail in Hiallry's gamey amition.

M-Denver   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

I live in a caucas state and I believe that a primary would be better, however we have now had county conventions, state conventions and congressional district conventions and guess what Obama won all of those by 2 to 1 votes. Get over it and get on with it!

Gary Chandler in Canada   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

55 % for her in MI and 0% for Obama is the ONLY math that gives her a PV lead. Obama needs an allocation of a measly, improbable 10% in MI to retake the lead in the PV. Why do you even print articles like this without showing the statistics?
FLA 'as is' 49.8 % for Clinton, 33% for Obama, a 55 35 clinton obama split in MI, plus the polling in Mo and SD has Obama winning the PV by anywhere from 200,000 to 1/2 million.
FLA and MI is redundant, Obama has sewn up the popular vote, with anything above 0% in MI!

Norb   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

When she was the front runner she and her campaign didn't care about the caucus process as they thought they would be the eventual nominee of their party. However, they didn't realize how well organized Obama's camp was at the "game". Nor did the Clinton campaign worry about Florida or Michigan until now for that matter. They got beat fair and square to a team that took them head on and beat them. Her saying "I'm in it to win it" didn't do much to scare others off. Time to quit Hillary.

Hillary NO VP /no pres.   May 28th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Hey CNN is McClinton all you have in your news bag today ?
Ship -Hil-liar to MARS
Her pant suits will blend in well with that landscape and the plus when she opens her pie hole and spreads more lies no one will have to listen she could also be president of MARS!!!!

Up date the polls so we can see how well Obama is doing for 08/12

We know he is the winner .

Rb   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

all I can say is can you imagne her as President. Note to Baby Boomers, we know your generation has A LOT of issues – the Clintons/Bushes/McCains are the poster children of slimy. This country would be torn apart if she were President – amazing how God's will gets done in the long run.

Victoria   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

“We have not gone through this exciting, unprecedented, historic election only to lose”

Yeah well, somebody has to lose. This times it happens to be HRC. Go back, regroup, and try later.

No disgrace in that.

Nicole in NE   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

What really bothers me is this "POPULAR" vote argument! I showed up at my caucus and stood there for 2+ hours to support my candidate!

Why in this math are we so worried about disenfranchising MI & FL, but not the thousands of people who voted in their caucuses? THAT IS DISENFRANCHISING US!

Don't say you want every vote to count, if that is NOT actually the case!

Corey Gabriel   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

It both amazes and scares me how little some of the posters here really know about the events and truth. Many of them just make stuff up that has already been debunked as untruthful mis-statements, yet they continue to believe and spout it. The ignorant people in this County will get what they deserve in this election, just like they got Bush for two terms because they failed to see through his smear and fear tactics of untruth, which is exactly what both Hilary and McSame are doing in this election. The lack of their supporters' education and knowledge, and their "true believer" attitudes is really scary for the future of this Country.

Ted   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

CNN you failed to mention that several big named Demorcrats raised the money back in March to let Florida and Michigan have a revote .But Obama campaign would not sign off on it .So you and the Obama idiots need to quit acting like someone is changing the rules !!! I live in Florida and I want all the votes to count .The last I looked Florida is in the United States !!!! Count the votes !!!!!!!!!

Mike, Syracuse NY   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

mr. g. If you are refering to the 2000 FL election, your facts are bogus. A consortium of newspapers completed the FL recount stopped by the US Supreme Court, and Bush still won. SO GET OVER IT ALREADY! There is every likelihood that Clinton will end up leading in the popular vote if all votes, including FL, MI and caucus votes are counted. In 2000 Gore said 'count all the votes'. So which is it? Do you want all votes counted, or just counted some of the time? Your precious Obama is so fond of talking to North Korea, Cuba, Iran and Hamas. So how about he demonstrate his diplomatic skills by sitting down with Hillary first? If he can't negotiate a mutually agreeable solution for FL and Mi within his own party, he'll never negotiate anything with America's enemies.

Kris   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

I dont know where her numbers come from but at this point she is being very very difficult. She is causing more harm to her party and doing so in selfish ways. She is hard headed and lies all the time. It is what ever the new fad is with her. I dont know how many times she has had to go on record to correct some story she told. She reminds me of mother goose. Or the kid that will say anything to get people to think they are cool. She is probably a really nice person. But again. At this time she is doing nothing but causing more problems. She is dividing the demacratic party. Think about it this way. Hell the statement above pretty much states if Obama wins there is no point in going to the polls cause the demacratic party wont win. Whats the point of voting if you already know your going to lose. This type of negetivity is what is going to cause the democrats to loose in November if they do. And personally I would blame most of it on Hilary. The one person who thinks it is ok to bend the rules half way through the game. Michigan and Florida were told before they held ealy elections that they would lose thier deligates. They moved forward and held the caucuses any ways. Now they wish to have the rules bent for them. Ahh no. Daaa. Or well you know I should go out and steel a bunch of stuff and have a group of people join me and when we get arrested please change the law so that it does not effect me. That way all Americans get the picture that we dont have to follow rules or laws. Get ready for blood bath cause now we have no reason to follow laws cause we can just change them to fit our needs.

Kris

snn   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

I just don't understand, is she delusional?? She cannot be ahead in elected delegates. Or perhaps, is she just misspeaking again?

She'll do anything to win. Even taking the nomination to the convention floor…… Then the Democratics will have NO chance of winning!! Has she no shame?

snn seattle

Nia   May 28th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

So desinfranchise votes that aren't favoring me, Count the ones that are, and bend the rules to other votes give me the advantage. She signed off on the Rules as they stood and when Mi and FL broke the Rules she agaiin agreed to not count them. Now all of a sudden she wants to count them in an effort to ensure the people are heard…yeah right…more like she needs the votes

VT in Atlanta   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Don't be fooled by the rhetoric — Hillary doesn't have any supporters that are stupid enough to fall for her crap.

These blogs that cite past failed democratic presidential races and accuse Obama of stealing the election are posted by HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN.

YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE!

GO OBAMA!!!

shirley   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

The Clinton's are planning to steal the nomination through coercion and 'back room' deals. I hope the delegates put a stop to their dirty politics, it makes them all appear to be corrupt.

An American in Canada for David   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Yes, H.R. CLINTON, will have the lead in popular votes and they will total in the numbers of 20 MILLION VOTES.

As Far as Delegates go, Obama is only leading in delegates because of the In Your Face, Intimidating Caucuses, which threw unsuspecting caucus goers by surprise. That will never happen again, such tactics are for Old Time Politics, which apparently Obama claims he is not part of! LOL BUT EVERYONE KNOW THAT AXELROD IS ALL ABOUT OLD TIME POLITICS AND HE IS ALL ABOUT WINNING AT ANY COST.

H.R. CLINTON THE FUTURE PRESIDENT 2009-2012

Ryan   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Right now Obama still leads in pledged delegates from primary states. But the argument is stupid anyway, count every vote.. except for the 15 caucuses of course….. how does that make sense?

Truthbeliever   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

All you need to do is look at that deranged look on her face in the picture, it's really getting sad. What an irrational, delusional woman. With a monstrous ego. Taking her party down with her. The sad thing is, so many of her supporters are drinking the same crazy juice, and won't vote for Obama because of it. What should have been a very easy win for the Democrats is being handed on a silver platter to McCain, thanks to this woman.

Amod, Portland ME   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

I agree with Sen. Clinton – the caucus does not fairly reflect the voter's preference. If it was so reliable why wouldnt they use it for general elections nationwide? The only ppl who go to the caucus are those that either have way too much time on their hands or those that have the luxury to take a whole day off for the ridiculous excercise.

Mike in Florida   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Hill is not intelligent. Hill is a psychopathic incessant liar. Hill is extremely corrupt. Hill and Bill are quite capable of hiring someone to go after Obama. Hill is not capable. Hill is not qualified, Hill has 35 years of experience accomplishing nothing but "trying" to subvert the system from within. Hill is evil! The majority of americans do NOT like her nor do they trust her…I'll say it again…they DO NOT LIKE Hillary and she is not likable. This IS why she is losing the democratic race. CNN won't say it, MSNBC won't say it. Fox won't say it because they want her to win…because they know more than others that what I'm saying here is true and they know they will win because of it. As one of her former staff once said, she needs to be kept as far away from the white house as possible. One last thing: Hill is actually worse than all the above..so consider the above a compliment.

FactCheck   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

> how can Sen Obama with ties to radicals like Khalidi, Rezko,
> Rev Wright, and Louis Farrakhan be a US president ?

Simple… the McDougals, Carlos Vignali, Linda Sue Evan and Susan Rosenberg, Marc Rich, Webster Hubbell, Chris Wade, David Rosen, Travelgate, Wal-Mart, the $20 billion 9/11 disaster recovery funds funneled to private corporations… I could go on but my fingers are getting numb.

Dan 6995   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Didn't Gore win the popular vote? Did he become president? No, the candidates should follow the rules. How utterly sickening that Clinton wants her votes counted in states Obama did not campaign in. It's really beyond my imagination. That shows her true side. Lie, cheat, do anything to get there and then do anything to stay there. Sound familiar? She's be no better then Bush!

No Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

The caucases should not count because people were afraid to go. They were intimidated and freightened in most cases.

I think it is so funny that Obama supporters are called a "cult," "Obamabots," and all these other insults for believing in our candidate, yet, Hillary Clinton supporters get a new logic everyday. They don't even get a straight forward path to the White House from their candidate, but we're the cult?!?!?!?!?!?! We have been given the same message from the start, and Clintonians have been lied to from the start. Riddle me this…She goes from FL and MI won't count, to I need FL and MI to be seated fully at the risk disenfranchising voters, to count every vote but not the 1,000,000 people that voted in caucuses. How can you make an argument about disenfranchising voters by disenfranchising voters????? She's stupid, and her supporters are stupid if they listen to this mess!!!

norma   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Aren't we suppose to vote for the most qualified for a job and not the color of one's skin. Whether you Cinton haters like her or not she is much more educated about politcs than Obama. There must be many uneducated people in the states to have this mindset. I would want someone that knows what is going on and please he doesn't.

JPG   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I'm just sick of seeing her slammed by all the news agencies. Their job is to report the news, not give one-sided beat-downs to all you blind Obama supporters who'll lap up anything tossed to them like a hungry dog. The bottom line is, it's dumb that you have to go to the actual polling sites (gallup, real politcs, etc) to get ACCURATE information at all. And for everyone who just writes stupid derogatory slangs about Hillary – you're just an angry mob; and not representing the so-called "educated, college minds" that Obama apparently has. I'm just saying – back off will all this junk. It's the media and their spin on this situation that's "dividing the party", not Hillary. Obama will have a LOT of explaining to do when he LOOSES the popular vote (after Puerto Rico, and including the caucuses) but still emerges the nominee…It's like Gore, 2004 all over again. They did it to him, sure they'll do it to her. Sad, all of it…just sad. Let her run people, in dignity – she's doing exactly what you're allowed to in this country, and you throw it back in her face. Ugh, it burns me that I'll actually be sharing voting booths with some of you in November.

Joey   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I thought she already had the lead in popular votes ??? hahaha
Oh that's right, the Clinton math is completely different and unknown to most.

Arome J   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

I can't believe Hillary could be this desperate and divisive . By the time this nomination process is over she would have destroyed Bill's legacy, herself and the Democratic party.
The world is watching this unfold.

I used to wonder how anyone could support such a hypocritical, deceptive, delusional figure, but it's become clear through this nomination process – her supporters are just as nutty as she is.

Dean   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Hillary is a joke! This clearly shows that she has no loyalty to the party whatsoever. Correct me if I'm wrong but ALL the candidates signed a pledge NOT to campaign in Florida and Michigan because they violated the rules. ALL the candidates agreed BEFORE the campaign on what the rules would be, Billiary included! Now she wants to change the rules. Why could that be? SHE IS LOSING!

Now she's we live in a Democracy where every vote should count! I agree that every vote is important but I also agree that in a Democracy you have laws and RULES to govern the people. If Billiary is allowed to break the rules she stood behind in the begginning of the campaign can you imagine what will happen 4 years from now when other states do what MIchigan and Florida did?

It's true the voters in Florida an Michigan will be penalized in some way but they do have recourse. VOTE OUT the "Brilliant" politicians who broke the rules and cost them their full right to be heard.

ASam   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Good math Sen. Clinton:

Take away the caucus votes.

Add Florida & Michigan – although you stated that those states would not matter because they broke the rules.

For a good measure, add all the Obama votes to your column – oops! on that condition, you are now allowing caucus votes to be used. Good for you

Even in our spirit of avoiding a defeat for you, we will add all McCain's votes from the Republican party.

Now you win.
Good for you but you can now exit the race because we are working towards a November victory with Obma.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lindsay   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Denver, CO 4 Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Do the math….Even with MI & FL as is, HE STILL WINS. Is that so hard to understand? Oh, but I'm from a caucus state so I guess my facts don't count right?

JJ   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

Another thing…..Popular vote will not get you elected as the DEM nominee. It's delegates that count. Not the popular vote so please Hillary, stop making that argument!!!!!!!!!

Nappy Democrat   May 28th, 2008 1:21 pm ET

This is it! I think it's time for the super delegates to act because this is getting silly!!! Wake up Super "Democrat's"! The ship is sinking or throw her some life jackets. Hillary CANTADD can surely use it…

May be there's room in the Republican party for her. Hillary is hitting walls right now and it's not pretty!!!!! CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

The folks, who voted for Hillary once, will again.

The folks that voted for Obama once, after we got to know him especially with Rev. Wright, will not vote for him again.

He is now known as a

"Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants!"

I predict if he becomes the Nominee he will break McGovern’s dismal record of 17 electoral votes with much less-his cult following isn't main stream at all!

That BIG number is 20 Million dollars… follow me? If Hillary doesn't win over Obama, Hillary loses that money. So, Hillary makes up stuff to deceive her mindless followers and to create con-tro-versy. Sorry, I'll try to refrain from using big words.

Bottom line, don't let her confuse you. If Hillary was winning, then she wouldn't be losing. Only cheaters try and change the rules in order to win. Her and Bill cannot be trusted. Ever!

35 Southbound   May 28th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

I now begin all my blogs with the same preface, if Clinton is to be the nominee I will vote for her, with that said,

I thought for a while that she may be positioning herself for the top spot in the Senate, VP, Govenor, or even possibly a nod to become a Justice. That was two weeks ago when she was civil and running that "week" of decent campaigning. I am not thoroughly convinced she is in it for herself, how her supporters don't see that mind boggles me, they must be in it for themselves as well. This is a selfish person and selfish group of people. I hope our children of this country are not taught to grow as this Clinton Campaign has, it's okay to lie, it's okay to break the rules, as long as it is self serving. What she wants is the Presidancy, any way she can, doen't matter what the rules say, doesn't matter what her party affiliation is, and as much as she will stir MI and FL, it doesn't matter what the people say (She stirs those voters up and then in the same breath says the superdelegates need to make the decision). Clinton supporters, keep on keeping on, shrug off her character, it's cool, change the game, good lesson for our future generations. She will run as an Independant if not as Dem, I mean why not, there is a cover up going on here in the Dem party, I am sure they aren't talking Primary exit stratedgy, they are probably talking party exit stratedgy. Clinton bloggers, can any of you give me a clear, unbiased reason why you support her and how it is so easy for you to shrug off the rules and the lies, anyone???

Mack   May 28th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Walt, you want to be in the head of a Hillary supporter, that's funny. We can all fit in there, since it is a totally empty space. I usually say to myself that the clinton supporters must be braindead, but that would elude to them having a brain to start with.

Desmond Sequeira   May 28th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

CLINTON'S LATEST GARBAGE IS MORE SICK THAN SICK. OF COURSE, SHE IS NOT IN THE RACE TO LOSE! SHE INTENDS TO " WIN" BY TRYING TO SABOTAGE OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UPFRONT.
AND SHE HAS GOT TO BE SILLY AND INSULTING TO THINK THAT THE SUPERDELEGATES AND ALMOST EVERYBODY ELSE DO NOT SEE THROUGH HER AND HER HUSBAND'S DESPERATE TIRADES. IT WILL A SHAME IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOLERATES THIS.

I find it amusing that so many Hillary fans get mad at people who criticize Hillary.

Like Maggie "they have called you so many names, it's awful. How dare they"

Hey Maggie, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, IT IS A DUCK!!!

In this age of "I am not responsible for my own actions" with law suits left and right, this is just another example of people not willing to accept the truth.

MY RECOMMENDATION FOR ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS:

Let's stop commenting on these ridiculous comments that Hillary makes. It almost validates them. I know it's fun to rebuke them and her idiotic supporters (SHE HAS MORE POPULAR VOTE????) but maybe we shoudl just start paying attention to McCain. Let her fade away.

And by the way, popular vote is not the metric that determines the winner. Play by the rules you babies!!! Hillary even said this early on!

Finally, an average of all polls has Obama up, and even if he wasn't, anyone recall the polling in 1992 prior to the GE? Bill was getting killed by George Bush!

Bola   May 28th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Witnessing the behaviors of both Hillary and Bill Clinton these past few months, I'm disgusted and outraged! Hillary, if you aren't able to deal with reality now, how will you deal with reality while in office? You feel for some reason that rules are for everyone but you, when you yourself agreed to the terms of Michigan and Florida.

I don't understand why you are delaying the inevitable. Hillary, you come across as a conniving, lying, deceiving, sniffling woman with an axe to grind. I had no idea you were like that (although rumors did suggest this). Your way or the highway at all cost. I for one don't want anyone like that representing the USA in the highest office in this land – President.

It's time to hang up the pantsuits and take a vacation to a far-away land to get recharged. It's becoming draining to listen to you!

Sam   May 28th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Give it up. On the one hand you claim that all states should count, but your popular vote count counts only 37 states….how pathetic can this get!!!!!!

YES WE CAN   May 28th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

Hillary needs to take whatever money she has left of her $100 million and go home. The people in NY don't want her to come back.

Hillary said the votes in MI & FL didn't matter on the paper she signed.
Hillary said the primary would be over in February 2008.
Hillary underestimated her opponent and the people.
Hillary's word is not worth anything. How can any of her follwerr's trust her. She is just using you. Wake up!!!!
Hillary does have a 58% dis-approval rating on being dis-honest and untrustworthy. That is the one catagory she is winning on!

Super Delegates please put an end to this. Cast your votes before the entire party is torn apart and we do loose in November. Hillary is so evil. She doesn't own you and it is not her birth right to be President because she is a Clinton. She is consumed with her EGO and wanting POWER,

JJ   May 28th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

The only way she is ahead in the popular vote (with the caucus) is you have count MI and FL. We all know Obama did not have his name on the ballot so he couldn't have picked up a vote there.

If you exclude MI and placed FL in the total, Obama is ahead in the popular vote.

Sorry Beth…..But I don't think it's hardly fair to include MI when Obama wasn't even on the ballot…..

Joseph in PA   May 28th, 2008 1:18 pm ET

I seriously think the campaign has had detrimental psychological effects on Senator Clinton. So, now she is ahead, IF you don't count caucus states, but she contends that every vote should count regarding MI and FL?

What if we counted every person who voted with their left hand, but stood on one foot, and voted only for Mrs. Clinton?

There are some real personality disorder issues here, at least paranoia or megalomania. I used to be one of her biggest fans. No longer. I just feel sorry for her, and angry at her divisive and destructive campaign.

Blue California   May 28th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

what are these commenters saying? just go to realclearpolitics.com, i'm not even going to post who's winning the popular vote, its clear in front you. There's no debating it.

Puerto Rico – HIllary +13.0 (net gain of 3 delegates)
Montana – Obama +17.0 (net gain of 2 delegates)
South Dakota – Obama +12.0 (net gain of 2 delegates)

"Count every vote", she exclaims.

…except the caucus states. Oh, and rely on polling numbers taken over 5 months before the general to base your decision on.

…and never mind the fact that I couldn't beat Barack, because he doesn't appeal to voters that matter.

…and even through I will be way behind in pledged delegates, you have to overturn the will of the people because so many voters were left out due to Michigan and Florida, and even if you added them in, I know I wouldn't have more pledged delegates but those caucuses are bad things.

…don't count those Barack votes, cuz they don't matter in the end…

…oh, and "count every vote."

Michael   May 28th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

As a person from a state that holds Caucuses I am extremely offended that she continues to just disregard the caucuses. Look Hillary you lost! The rules were clear, you agreed to them, and you lost.

US Rules   May 28th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

If the Dumb Democrats used the same rules as the US Constitution then they might win the electorial vote, as it is McCain will take the votes because Obama is running against Bush and not McCain.
McCain policies are Middle of the Road often siding with Democrats.

Hillary already won if the Dumb Democrats followed the rules specified in the US Constitution.

Obama has completely alienated 50% of Hillary's base, the solid Democratics. Obama can't win the Republicans or the Independents, not the White Workers, not the White Christians, just the Blacks and the foolish youths who believe political talk and ignore real world wisdom.

Lana, California   May 28th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

The supers need to end this thing….TODAY! The only way she wins is if she changes every rule she agreed to back in 2007. Are we sure this "creature" isn't a Republican "Manchurian" Candidate in a Democratic pantsuit?

It's to the point that WHEN she LOSES this primary, I will send money to whomever her Senate opponent is in NY to ensure she is off the electoral map once an for all.

Mike   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

If the democratic primary was held like the republican one or the general election, Hillary would be the winner already. Thank you dnc for having a messed up different system because it guarantees McCain a win in November.

I was worried if Hillary got the nomination she would beat McCain but since Obama will get it the GOP is triumphant again!

anonymous   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Caucuses are like the electoral college…OUTDATED. Suggestion: go with winner-take-all primaries next time round. Some have even suggested doing regional primaries, instead of going state-by-state. Personally, I enjoy the drama of state-by-state, but I guess in this age of instant gratification where the winner are expected to be announced 2 milliseconds after the polls close (based on exit polls, not votes! gee whiz…), folks want the candidate chosen sooner rather than later.

Note: I was not a Clinton supporter in the beginning. I am one now. And yes, I'm one of those over-50 women you hear about.

I can tell you that I will likely support Obama IF he is chosen as the Democratic nominee UNLESS McCain chooses Romney has his VP. Then I might lean towards voting for McCain. Why? Because Romney is Mormon. And yes, I'm also Mormon.

Bottom line is…you tend to vote for what the person(s) you feel like you have the most in common with and with whom you feel the most familiar. If that's prejudice, then I guess I'm guilty of it, but truth be told…we're all pretty much guilty that way, aren't we?

Will-South Dakota   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

REMEMBER WHEN SHE ASKED " WHY CAN'T OBAMA CLOSE THE DEAL?"……….WHY CAN'T SHE CLOSE THE DEAL? Her words, her actions.

dwayne   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Hillary is all about Hillary. She wants the power. She's had a good taste of it already. She's good at telling people what they want to hear. She doesn't care about the party obviously. So if you vote for McSame over Obama, granted Obama's the nominee, then I hope you enjoy the next 4 years of the same ole coporate based politics where the rich get richer and poor get screwed over and out. Oh and Hillary supporters, don't complain about anything either…hey you wanted him instead of Obama. Enjoy you daily struggles because the republicans don't care about you unless you're wealthy.

James Carville   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Yea, caucuses don't count, just like Florida and Michigan.

Can we cut out the "funny math?" This is what got us into trouble in the last 8 years.

By the way, Hillary, found any WMDs in your last trip to Iraq?

LT for Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

It is stealing if I actually did not go out and vote and they said I did and voted for him. I did go out and vote and I cast it for Obama. It is not stealing if I make the choice.

Admit that she lost fair and square and let's move on. Take a day and cool off and then let's get to work.

Aliou FL   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

I am sorry, I got carried away. Crazy is not the word to use. she is out o f the world alright.

Why can't Mrs. Clinton just let go? this is surreal!!!!!

That fight should have been before she started the negative. She should have fought to change the rules before she engaged in this process. Once you accept , you are engaged by the rules that govern the election as it is. You can't change in after the fact. I thought you were more intelligent than what you are showing now.

that makes me understand how the bushes and the clintons have in common and why they are such buddies: There is a mad side of them that makes them think they are a unique type of people, above the law and above anyone else.

Well, reality is setting in: You are just an ordinary American, and american laws, party laws and rules apply to all constituents, even the ex presidents and their wives.

Sylvia   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

She doesn't even have the lead in popular votes.

What a piece of work. Ya gotta love her supporters, they are so gullible. She will lie and her challenged supporters will believe whatever she tells them. Okay Hillary, yes you are leading all the way to the looney bin.

Whatever Hillary wants, don't give it to her, she doesn't deserve it.

Stephen   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

What is it going to be on Thursday? She's won in all the states that have the word "New" in the name. Therefore she's stronger against McCain.

I think you've lost it Hillary!

Superdelegates are not that crazy

"President Obama"

DOH!!!   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

You got to know when to hold'm. Know when to fold'm. Know when to walk away. Know when to run. Senator Clinton has LEFT THE BUILDING.

T L   May 28th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

One person one vote, that's how primaries are conducted. People were pulling and pushing in caucases, which have poorer regulations. I actually think Hillary Clinton has a point. You can see that in Texas. She won the TX primary, but Obama won the TX caucas. The results were not consistent.

Steve, New York, New York   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

So, Hillary wants to count Florida and Michigan in this tally, even though she had previously agreed that these states would be excluded? I guess that was fine when she was winning.

She also wants to ignore caucus votes? Incredible.

Wow – Hillary must think that we're all idiots.

Russ Ming   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Why is it that everytime Hillary Clinton speaks or writes, it's about "me," "my" and "I" and every time Barack Obama speaks, it's about "us," "our" and "we?" It's indicative of who is really doing this for personal glory and who wants to make it a movement of the people. It's not Kool-Aid, folks — it's a sense of community and a lack of personal pride that draws folks to Obama.

Chyrel Wallace-Jackson, Chicago Illinois   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

What is it HRC you're either leading in the popular vote or your not! Thank God BO keeps picking up delegates. You certainly no longer are. You're trying your best to win this nomination any negative way you can but you're still behind. I'll be so glad to see June 3, 2008 approach perhaps then BO and the rest of us will finally be rid of you. Here's to hope.

HillarySkank on myspace   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Hey Chicken Hillary. Why didn't you run 4 years ago when you would have been a shoe in (even though I wouldn't have voted for you then either). You were afraid of George W Bush? Are you kidding me? You actually thought the cards would be more in your favor this year instead? Guess what toots? You guessed wrong and now you've lost. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

By the way, have I mentioned today how much I dislike you as a person? It goes double for that no account husband of yours.

SHIRLEY-OHIO   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Hillary you are the one to run against McCain! Otherwise, I'll be voting for the second best, which would be McCain. Rise Hillary, rise!

Video Guy   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

I wonder if there was a deal made back in the Clinton White House years. If Hillary did not divorce Bill, the DNC or some of the big shots in the party, promised her the nomination in 08?. Then along comes Obama.

MJV Tampa   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

What Hillary leads in is in being IRRATIONAL and ANNOYING…. Somebody SHUT HER UP. I'm sick to death of this shrieking harpie in the ugly pants suit..

SHE DOES NOT LEAD IN COMMITTED DELEGATES…. END OF STORY.

ASam   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

JUST GO ALREADY.

The basis for the argument is so flawed that it is amazing that someone is actually sending those out to superdelegates to read and believe.

This protracted nomination race is clear evidence of the desire of some people to destroy a party as soon as (and probably for the first time that) things do not go their way. NO ONE IS LISTENING. THE PRIMARY RACE IS OVER AND ALL WELL-MEANING DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO NOVEMBER.

DO THAT PRESENTATION IN KY & WV.

Defeating Obama in California, NY & NJ does not mean that McCain will. Those defeats were among democrats and against McCain, they will all come out united.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS BIGGER THAN ANY ONE SINGLE PERSON. TAKING THE NOMINATION AWAY FROM THE PERSON WITH THE MOST DELEGATES, STATES WON, AND POPULAR VOTE TO GIVE TO ANOTHER PERSON IS UNDEMOCRATIC AND AKIN TO CONFIRMING ONE AS THE OWNER OF THE PARTY.

I shouldn't be commenting on the comments anyway – that's giving credibility to non-credible statements. It is good that we are all witnesses to the comments so that we don't have another "Bosnia" and the several other mistatements.

Tim   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Obama 08/12

PA Democrat   May 28th, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Hillary is dilusional. This race is over. There is no way the DNC will seat Florida and Michigan as they voted. Earlier today a Federal Court in Tampa, FL threw out a case trying to support her desired outcome.

The same judge threw this case out last August. No higher court will step is as under the constitution the DNC is free to make their rules and did not discriminate on race or national origin with Florida and/or Michigan.

In addition, Hillary agreed to these rules up front. Now she wants to change the rules because she needs the delegates. What a disgrace she and Bill has become.

Bill commented about disrespect to Hillary. Only a few months ago he was commenting "that if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen." Seems he should listen to his own advice. Also, yesterday he commenting about Hillary being disrespected. I guess receiving oral sex from an intern is being respectful to your wife? Bill does not know what respect means?

To Christoffel van Vuuren:

WHAT? Obama has not proved hime self to be a fighter??? Have you been ASLEEP during this campaign???!!!! He has done nothing but fight….the difference between he & HRC's fighting techniques is quite different, however. You see, he is a gentleman who takes the high road, consistently. She is a power crazed lunatic who has proven time & time again that she will take the low road at any moment, so long as it benefits herself.

Here's something for you to ponder up there in Canada:

For all of Hllary's "fighting" over the years, and throughout this campaign , she doesn't have much to show for it, now does she?

Mr. Anson From NY   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

David O   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Hillary cannot win and SHE KNOWS IT.

So now her ploy is to render Obama unelectable so that she might run again in 2012.

But she has just about burned all of her goodwill with the DNC, SHE WILL NEVER GET THE NOD AGAIN!

BYE BYE HILLARY, YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT!

DE Democrat   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

fpjv:

Hillary is only in the lead in pop. vote w/ caucus only if you count both FL and MI and give Obama zero votes from MI…and her lead in that case is not very large. She is just trying to get Obama to lose in Nov. so she can run again in 2012.

Clinton Arrogance   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

She says she leads a 'popular vote' that doesn't include cacuses, includes open primaries where Limbaugh Republicans push-voted for her, and MI where Obama wasn't on the ballot and FL which wasn't valid… yet, she wants "every vote to count." Also, since Ohio, Ickes, Wadkins, Carvel, and Bill have been dialing up superdelegates to say that Rev. Wright makes Obama unelectable. Who is the most reliable, worthy figurehead of the Party? OBAMA.

melissa   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Ok, Ok, I understand now. Don't disenfranchise the voters in MI and FL. But, disenfranchise voters in caucas states since they have already been disenfranchised anyway, LOL!!!!!

I would love to be inside the head of a Hillary supporter. How you guys are not walking around in shame right now is beyond me.

Is this how you really, really want your nominee selected? By, carefully selecting the votes that support your position and publicly discounting votes that don't. WOW

John from LA   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Mack   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Hillary now wants to redo MT. Rushmore, she said, "Let's get rid of those old presidents and put ME, Bill, and Chelsea, Oh yeah and one more thing – Let's change the name to United States of Clinton". Thats just today, what will Her Majesty desire tomorrow?

R   May 28th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Count Florida/Michigan Votes   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Note that even though superdelegates already supported a candidate, he/she can still flip to the other candidate. Thus, Obama is not yet sure if he is the nominee until the time that he is officially declared the Democratic Nominee. Remember this, all Obama supporters.

Abby   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

What is this, the new Hill-Billy math? Just say the numbers are there, over and over, forgetting the truth, and maybe they will just magically appear, if not in reality, then in the minds of superdelegates.

If it works, I'll go right to my bank and talk to my checking account.

There is no way now that any Democrat will win the white house this year. We will be stuck with GWB the third (aka McCain) and no limit to the horrors that will befall our country and society with the unbridled war mongering that will ensue. THANKS a lot Bill and Hillary, we are all going to suffer the consequences of your selfish narcissism!

mususbahu GERMANY   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

im asking the clintons all her supporters ,this questing.
1.is the Clintons honest?? if yes then why dont they stand by their words to the americans.when she was doing good in the race she opened her mouth and promised all the americans that no matter what happens florida and michinge delegates will never be added.becourse the 2 states violated the rules and law.this same person who promised american is changing her mind becourse the race does not favour her,my worry ist what will she do when become president.this shows that she only think of her herself not the american people.2.what will be next when voted as president is she really going to keep her words as she did with florida and michinge??or is she really going to keep her promised.if we need change in american then we have to start first by respecting the laws and rules of the country.and this complie to everybody inclunding the president.i mean how you creat laws and rules to protect everyone but break them when its disfavours you.thats only the fact.its painful to lose that dream but think its not about clintons,obama mccain or anyother persons alone.its about millions of americans who need somebody who keep is own to protect them even its disfavours him.please stop judging by personal emmotions.give cesser to what belongs to cesser

justobserve   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Please, can anyone out there, show us a table with two columns of total popular votes for each state for Clinton and Obama so we can see clearly what are the parts of the sum. Only when you have the comparison state by state that you can see clearly what is MISSING in Obama' s column and why Clinton had more popular votes: it is because she only counted votes where she won and not where she lost and Obama won. Of course, in such a case she would have more votes. It's an ingenious way to change the number to her advantage: just drop off Obama's counts where he had more votes. Why are the media just repeat this meaningless number called "popular vote total" that Clinton supposedly won? She contradicted herself by saying "every vote counts" but she disenfranchised caucused states and Obama had none in MI.
This woman is mad now. The party doesn't need to be soft on her. she made a mockery of the party rules then said as if only she is fighting for voters, not the Democrat party. Is she a Repub's spy hellbent on destroying the party or what?

Linda31   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

How does she explain the caucuses? Because that popular vote count that she is talking about omits the states that have caucus. Is that not disenfranchising those voters???

Denis   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Good luck!! you have shown the world how tough a compettor you are. You are the best choice for President and I just hope that the superdelegates have the guts to go against the pressure that the DNC is putting on them.

joe m   May 28th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

interesting how clinton is fighting so hard to not disenfranchise the voters of FL and MI, but also all too willing to subject the voters of other states to this very same fate.

cliton has been using selective math, selective memory, and selective logic to push her case.

Independent   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Hillary says the superdelegates should support who they think will the better president, well that is unless she won the state, then they should be bound to listening to their constituents. When people like Richardson do this, he is labled a Judas.

Hillary says Michigan and Florida should count, well that is except for when she agreed that they wouldnt count, and only changed her mind when she realized she was losing. Only then does she claim differntly.

Hillary says let the voters decide, all the votes should be counted, well that is except for caucuses because that throws off her math, and never mind the hundreds of thousands of people in Michigan that didnt get to vote for Obama, she doesn't think they should count of course.

She keeps changing her story. You got to love the Clinton hypocrisy.

FactCheck   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

> OBAMA BLOCKED RE-VOTES – He is a FRAUD

You Clintonistas are really something else… you like to change the rules when it serves your needs and then to top it off, like to blame the other guy when you fail. FYI, the DNC offered to seat the Michigan delegates with HRC at a +20 advantage and SHE REJECTED IT. Why? Because she wants Obama to get 0 votes since his name wasn't on the ballot. Brilliant!! With this kind of math, is it any wonder why her campaign is $20 million in the red?

JL, GA   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

The Billary Clintons have lost it, in more ways than the election. It was okay to dismiss FL and MI when she felt after Super Tuesday she would be winner. That did not materialize, now it is wrong to not hear the voices of the voters in these states.

Wake up Hillary it is 50 states not 2 and if the DNC forget the rules, you have 48 states will forget you.

You are dividing the party. Yes we will vote for McCain if the superdelegates forget the rules.

Because no matter how you slice it, after Puerto Rico, Hillary will have the popular vote with or without MI/FL.

People of America: Protest on the 31st for Hillary and against rigged elections in America. We do not live in a third world coutry. We spend millions on elections. 1 vote should equal 1 vote.

Mark in Austin, TX   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

For everyone saying Obama blocked revotes in MI and FL, that is not the case. Obama objected to the stipulations that the Clinton campaign wanted to put on the re-votes. Namely, that only people who voted in the original (and invalid) primaries could vote in the re-do. Well, what about all the people who knew that their vote in the invalid primary wouldn't count and stayed home? If you wanted a do-over, it should be a real one where everyone can vote and everyone is on the ballot. The more accurate statement is that the candidates could not come to an agreement on a re-vote, not that one candidate was responsible for stopping the process.

Billary is staying the the race why? White privilege. I'm sure you all know what that means. She's white and she knows she'll get the nomination… forget everything.. she doesn't care about the party and it's obvious that Bill doesn't care either. She and Bill have that mentality that some of my friends use to have when they knew they were going to get picked to work on the prom float… "if I can run it, I'll wreck it!"

Dena   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

I do not understand the "popular vote" argument. If we count the votes in FL and MI and do not "disenfranchise" those voters–how are the voter's in the caucas states to be "counted" in order for them not to be "disenfranchised?" Currently their votes are not included in the popular vote totals. When the DNC rules committee–using the word "rules" lightly, because evidently the rules are always changing, hence the need for the meeting to change them in during the primary–maybe this needs to be included the the discussion. That is the only way we will have a true representation of all the votes cast and a true popular vote. EVERYONE must be counted.

Maggie VT   May 28th, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Clinton will talk bad about anything that doesn't favors her. If the Democratic party is now the evil that is trying to take away a nomination that she didn't earn (by the way, is really disrespectful to dismiss the votes from caucuses. Isn't this what she is claiming to be happening with Florida and Michigan?), then, who will be the bad ones? The people for not voting for her?

This woman needs some time off. Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota…send her out!

The only reason she gets away with these lies is because obama is beyond this.

The republicans have been researching hilary for years now, she is who they want to win the nominee process. Otherwise all those millions are wasted.

Hilary = Crazy cat lady
Theres some math thats atleast true

Tyler in Raleigh, NC   May 28th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

And what do the say….. if I had wheels instead of legs you could call me a bicycle??

Her math is about as logical!!!!! So she doesnt want to count the voters (disenfranchising them) in states with caucuses that follow the rules….. but count them in states that broke the rules??

I think right here her argument that MI and FL are about the "poor voters" and their rights goes up in flames. She wants to take away votes from people that voted fairly (sure caucuses are different, but its a free country and if they want to change it they can).

What next, do we put a stop to minorities voting or put a 3/5ths rule on African Americans again? Anyone who votes for Clinton counts as 2, those that vote for Obama count as 1/2. Hey, with that Clinton Math then she wins for sure!!!!!

Independent for Obama   May 28th, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Obama already has a majority of pledged delegates. What is she talking about? Even with FL and MI, she can't catch up!!

Mike   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

So let me get this new math straight.

Florida and Michigan count, but only for Senator Clinton – we have to count all of the votes. But wait, the caucaus states delegates don't count because that was an un democratic process, and Senator Clinton didn't win those. And since the caucaus states delegates don't count, well their votes shouldn't count either. Finally, even though Senator Clinton is behind Senator Obama by every rational analysis she shoudl be the nominee, because she would be stronger against Senator McCain in November? And her campaign can say all of this with a straight face? Sounds more to me like the SNL skit.

It's very sad and disappointing to see this level of desperation from Senator Clinton. Is this the type of arguments you want from a POTUS? We've gotten that for the past 7+ years, we need a better way.

RUBY CAUDILL   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

for heavens sake clinton give me a break

Len in Washington   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

So Senator Clinton now says that Caucus States don't count.

Sorry Ms. Clinton, those decisions are entirely up to the states…not the DNC and certainly not you. I'm from Washington and we have a caucus system here. Now you're trying to disenfranchise US just to get your way.
It seems that the only rules you will follow are the rules you make up as you go along.

Please people….see through this.

The DNC has rules. They're the same rules all the candidates knew going into this. Just follow your own rules DNC and get this over with.

JOHN BLACK   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

FLORIDA VOTE SHOULD MOST DEFINATELY BE COUNTED UPON AS WELL AS MICHIGAN.HILLARY HAD A LANDSLIDE VICTORY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA .IN THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ;OBAMA PUL-LED HIS OWN NAME OFF OF THE BALLOT.IN OTHER WORDS ,OB-AMA FORFEITED THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ON HIS OWN ACCORD. THAT'S WHY OBAMA DOESN'T WANT THE BALLOTS COUNTED BE-CAUSE OBAMA BEAT HIMSELF.HILLARY SHOULD BE OUR NOMIN-EE.(WITHOUT A DOUBT). JOHN BLACK//MONROE,N.C.

Patriot   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Amazing how y'all had nothing bad to say about caucuses until February of this year.

Caucuses have been around for decades, and nobody has complained until now- after Hillary lost them.

Desperation, lies and hypocrisy…that's what Hillaryland is all about.

Go ahead- make John "Bomb-Bomb-Iran" McCain President with your bitterness and anger.

And explain this to your grandchildren someday when abortion becomes illegal and we're still engaged in reckless warfare.

elmerg   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Yeah you go girl, away, very far away! Come back after the election.

John-MO   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Obama supporters are forgetting that Obama himself removed his own name from the ballot in Michigan in order to appease the voters of IA and NH. Don't forget that Obama supporters in the MI legislature tried to get Obama's name back on the ballot after the specified cut off date but failed to do so. Should the DNC's rules and bylaws committee reinstate FL and MI, Obama has only himself to blame for not getting any of the MI delegates.

Lets us also not forget that Obama surrogates in both MI and FL did everything possible to block revote efforts in both States. Don't you think that the Republican attack machine will bring that issue out in both States and weaken Obama's position in those States. I sure know that I'd be leery of voting for someone who did everything in his power to make sure that I didn't have a say in his nomination.

linda   May 28th, 2008 1:10 pm ET

YOU KEEP ON FIGHTING HILLARY. YOU ARE THE ONLY HONEST, INTELLIGENT, AND OPEN CANDIDATE THAT IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE DUTIES IT TAKES TO RUN A COUNTRY. IF YOU DO NOT GET THE NOMINATION, I WILL BE VOTING REPUBLICAN FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER BECAUSE OBAMA IS A DECEPTIVE, DISHONEST AND STORYTELLING PERSON. OBAMA HAS TOO MANY SECRETS AND SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSEST, AND BY THE TIME THEY BECOME FULL KNOWLEDGE TO THE VOTERS, IT COULD BE TOO LATE. OBAMA SHOULD BECOME A MINISTER LIKE HIS "UNCLE WRIGHT". THEN THERE WOULD BE NO ONE TO QUESTION WHAT HE SAYS. HIS CONGREGATION, I AM SURE, WOULD TAKE HIM AT FACE VALUE BECAUSE THE ONE THING HE HAS GOING FOR HIM IS THE FACT THAT HE IS QUITE THE ORATOR.

Kenneth Lindsey   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Hilary
if every vote counts then that also means caucus votes also counts.
I would still like to asked why you and yours do not understand basic
math.The Florida and Michigan voters did not vote in a election who they knew would not count but went to the polls for local issues.

Vince in NC   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Hillary's math of course includes states that were disqualified, completely discounts the hundreds of thousands of non-commited votes in Michigan and leaves out caucus voters.

She's only trying to change the rules because she is behind.

I was open to the possibility of Hillary being VP, but can't support that now because of her continued negativity and desperation. She's proven over and over during this election that she'd do anything to get back into power, and that scares me.

GO HILLARY GO!!!!   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

HILLARY, YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION IF YOU HAVE TO DO SO. WE ARE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY AND WE WILL ALWAYS STAND BY YOU. FOR OBAMA AND HIS CAMPAIGN AND FOLLOWERS TO TRY AND SUPPRESS THE VOTERS OF MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA IS NOT ONLY UNDEMOCRATIC BUT UNAMERICAN. HOW VOTERS CAN BE WILLING TO ELECT SOMEONE WHO DOES THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE. OBAMA TOOK HIS NAME OFF THE BALLOT AND THE RULES SAY HE DID NOT HAVE TO DO SO. HE CAMPAIGNED AS UNCOMMITTED AND LAUNCHED NATIONAL ADS WHICH AIRED IN FLORIDA AND THEN OPPOSED FULLY AND PRIVATELY FUNDED REVOTES. GO HILLARY GO. TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION!!!

Independent   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Molly,

Obama didnt block revotes. Florida chose not to revote, and he did not approve of the changes they made to the possible revote in michigan. Originally the Michigan primary was open to all parties, repubs, independents, and the like. The proposed revote changed it so that repubs and independents couldnt participate in the revote, nor could anyone that chose to vote on the republican primary (since the dem one didnt count many voted on the republican primary). Basically they wanted to limit it so that the revote would come back with the same results. Anyone that would have wanted to vote for clinton would have done so, anyone that wanted to vote for obama, may have voted for clinton, or voted in the republican primary.

Learn the details before you start spouting BS.

Rob Johnson   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

The rules of this process were created by people like Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes–people who WORK FOR HILLARY. Not just Hillary supporters, but people who are actually on her payroll.

Who would set up a process that is rigged against their boss? Why would they throw away their chance at a fat job in the next Clinton administration? It just doesn't make sense.

If this election was rigged for anybody, it was rigged for Hillary. Moving Super Tuesday up to February, for example, was a blatant attempt to clinch the deal for Hillary before the other candidates could overcome her advantage in fundraising and name recognition.

Unfortunately, her campaign was so incompetent they couldn't even win a fixed race–possibly a first in the history of electoral politics.

Maggie VT   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Gee, I think Hillary Clinton has a very very questionable background. Obama is a CHRISTAIN. She has been trashing the caucus's for months now. Think it is time for a petition to get started to somehow get those popular votes counted and see what she says then!!!! Obama did not block the re-vote!!!! Hillary Clintons supporters, Rendell, Carville, and Corzine were going to pay for it. Does anyone think this would have been a fair re-vote????

Julie   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Hillary DOES have the popular vote, but according to our system, that ain't going to count, so what happens now? Well, for one, Obama is now trying to court states like New Mexico whose popular vote went for Hillary. Well, Mr. Obama, as a citizen of New Mexico and one who voted for Hillary, stay in this state as long as you want, maybe spend some money, but there is NOTHING you can do that will sway me to your side, nothing that will discourage me from voting for McCain if Hillary loses, and NOTHING that will stop me from trying to persuade other Democratic voters in this state to stay away from you.

trellskig   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

This is exactly why it's time for change…Obama 08/12

Kristin from Dallas   May 28th, 2008 1:09 pm ET

Clinton claims she will be ahead in pledged delegates after the next three primaries. How can she gain 160+ pledged delegates when there are only 86 or so pledged delegates left? How can she and Bill convince that many pledged delegates to switch sides. I must be missing something, because the math again doesn't work.

Ryan   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

What? It is mathematically impossible for her to receive a majority of pledged delegates even with MI and FL.

There are 399 delegates left in MI, FL, PR, SD, and MO

Obama needs 122 to get the majority, Clinton needs 284.

In Fl, if seated as is, Clinton would receive 105, Obama 67, Edwards 13. Two of Edwards have already commited to Obama if they are seated (and more probably will eventually). So Clinton 105, Obama 69, Edwards 11.

In MI, if seated as is, Clinton would receive 73, and 18 of the uncommited have already pledged their support for Obama. So that would mean Obama has 87 total from MI and FL, Clinton 178.

So Clinton still needs 106, but there are only a remaining 86 delegates. Most of the uncommited and Edwards delegates would end up with Obama so there is no way she can get a majority even in a best case scenario.

linda hemmingsen   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

hillary is right , she would win the election she has won the batteground states and swing states that you need to win for the election. obama has lots of caucases but the turnout for those are small and a lot of corruption went on with the over zealous obama supporters they have tapes and they have complaints that should be brought at the convention to show how they should never have caucases again.

h in cali   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

as a liberal, I usually dont have a lot of kind words to share on Reagan, but one thing he got absolutely right was his 11th commandment, which is a great rule to follow no matter what party you are in: You don't speak ill of your fellow party members.

Both sides have taken some shots, but really, Clinton cannot come out and say the Obama is going to lose just as he is about to clinch the nomination and launch the GE. In fact a lot of her comments about him have been way out of line. That's not what a party loyalist does.

Clinton needs to attack McSame and show she is a fighter THAT way – A lot more people -including Obamites-would respect her if she could just do THAT. But I don't see how any good Democrat except for a few of her more rapid and unreasonable supporters can see anything good in the way she is handling the situation. If she thinks its so important that the Dems win against McSame, why doesn't she do what would at this point almost garantees a Dem win: suspend the campaign and support the hell out of Obama -who is polling ahead of McSame in OH in a lot of polls and picking off Red states in the west and who is winning in IA -if he wins OH, IA, NM & CO it's an electoral college blow out. OF COARSE OBAMA CAN WIN -SHUT UP HILLARY AND GET BEHIND OUR DEM CANDIDATE!!!!!!

Chuck R   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

The count today of delegates ELECTED IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS IS

Clinton 1329

Obama 1322

That is the facts. His entire lead is from those who have been able to attend caucuses. She has won the primaries where the voters get to decide and he has won the caucus state. It is just the facts.

Tim in NC   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Yes, clearly a voting system where the votes of all persons voting count toward the two major candidates makes people REALLY feel like their votes are wasted…

Robert   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Let me get this straight, Hillary: the voices of the people must be heard, BUT only if they are in states that have a primary AND it's a priimary you win. People in caucus states don't matter because they don't like you as much.

So basically, you win the nomination — as long as the Democratic party ignores the rules (that you agreed to), and ignores all the caucus states, and considers opinion polls conducted in May be to be equivalent to results of a general election that will be held half a year from now. Huh???

Venus   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Ha,ha,ha,ha,aaaahhh! I am loving this!

Great to see a rookie bring down the Clinton Machine!

Go Obama!

"I will never vote for Obama because he is black and has no experience.

Even though I'm democrat and even though Obama and Clinton's policies are nearly identical, I will vote for McCain.

I will vote for 100 more years of Iraq, $10 per gallon gas, overturning of roe vs wade, and other good stuff

And all because Obama supporters are mean!"

is there any surprise why this country is in a sad state?

HILLARY HAS BECOME PITIFUL. A FLORIDA JUDGE THREW OUT THE SUIT AGAINST THE DNC TODAY AND SAID POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE THEIR OWN RULES AND THE DNC HAS SAID THE COMMITTEE MEETING FRIDAY CAN ONLY AGREE TO SEAT A PORTION OF DELEGATES. EVEN IF SHE WON ALL OF FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN SHE WOULD STILL BE BEHIND. SHE IS DOING SUCH AN INJUSTICE TO WOMEN AND HURTING THEIR CHANCES IN THE FUTURE.

John   May 28th, 2008 1:08 pm ET

Lynne   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Er, I'm not sure which paper SHE's reading, but all I've seen show Obama clearly ahead in states won, popular vote (yes, caucus votes count), pledge delegates and super delegates.

If she's more electable, why did she lose this primary?

Is she taking medication?

Glenn   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Hillary has completely lost her mind. What an ego! What a clown!

Hillary Math   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

And then the Superdelegates go…"Duhhhhh…I dunno…I guess that makes since."

1. Count Florida and Michigan (even though you yourself said they shouldn't count, and there was no campaign there, and Barack wasn't even on the ballot in one of them.

2. Through out Iowa, Maine, Washington and Nevada (even though they haven't done anything wrong, and your suppose to be the big defender of "count every vote."

3. Do count Puerto Rico (even though they can't vote in the general)

4. Then determine the winner by "popular vote" (as defined above) instead of delegate count (even though that is like calling the winner the one with the most hits instead of the one with the most runs)

Only the Clintons and magical amazing spin machine could alter the puplic perception of reality to this extent. This is easy people…Barack is the winner….get over it!

John-MO   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Lets us not forget that should the DNC reinstate any of FL and MI delegates that the vote is then rendered valid at which point, Clinton will have the most popular vote. According to realclearpolitics.com, with FL and MI popular vote, Clinton is up by 164k votes and even if the estimate the caucus States Obama would still trail Clinton by 54K votes. Do you remember the end of Feb and all of March where Obama was proclaiming the will of the people should be heard and the Super Delegates should vote the will of the people. Well the will of the people will be heard and Clinton will be there choice. What will happen is that Obama will be made the nominee against the will of the people by the Super Delegates. And that's why he will lose in November.

PA Man   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

True Clinton does better in Ohio, PA, and Florida. However, Obama also wins PA and is only 4% behind in Florida where he did not truly campaign. He can probably gain the 4% in Ohio as well. It is only may. They are even in Nevada and New Mexico. However, Obama crushes her in the following swing states: Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin. He puts Virginia and North Carolina into play. No one mentions this. Some experts even believe he can put Montana, a Nebraska istrict, and Mississippi into play. He has achance to rewrite the Democratic map.

Count Florida/Michigan Votes   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Democrats need to include Florida and Michigan. If not, a big possibility, that Democrats will lose the election. For me, its just fair to allocate the votes based on the results. Remember that its Obama who remove his name on the ballot. It's his decision. Hillary is smart. Remember also that all the candidates didn't campaign. It's unfair to allocate it 50-50. Based on what? Based on what one candidates want. It should be based on facts/results.

My suggestion:
Florida – allocate votes based on the results since all their names are on the ballot. Doesn't matter if nobody campaigned.

Michigan -allocate votes based on the result (People voted for Hillary). Its unfair not to count it. The remaining "uncommited votes" should be split equally between the candidates (Obama or others). It's their decision to remove their names. That's why I'm saying Hillary is smart. She should have foreseen this mess coming in the future.

Democrats cannot win the election by excluding Florida/Michigan. The Democratic nominee cannot also say he/she wins the nomination based on 48 states only.

Michael   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

To all Clinton Supporters:

I do believe a woman can be president and would do a great
job, but is this really the right woman? She seems to distort
her position to make her campaign look better. She is hedging
the numbers based on what she wants to happen with the DNC
rules committee. Doesn't that sound a little shady? Maybe after
Obama runs the next administration, we can find an honest,
forthwritght WOMAN to lead our country. Women every where are
better than Hillary has shown herself to be. Please wake up and see
the manipulation and deceit that lies in her campaign.

Peter Damoah-Afari   May 28th, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Rebecca   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

I continue to be astonished at how the Clintons LIE perpetually, with hopes that no one will do their homework & learn that they are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. They are proclaiming to their supporters that they are ahead and that OBAMA is stealing the election illegally. Can you believe this madness??? I am so thoroughly disgusted with them both, I cannot bear to hear or read their words any longer.

Rudy NYC   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

I wish a reporter would ask Clinton about the fact that Obama jumped out to a roughly 150 elected delegate lead after Super Tuesday, Feb 5.

And that elected delegate lead has remained relatively constant ever since.

She has gained no ground. Only lost ground in the supers.

Jen B   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Every vote counts, she claims.
Yet, she discounted the one I cast in one of the smaller caucus states.
Shame on her, her lack of respect for voters, her inconsistencies, lies and pathetic pandering.
Fortunately, many of us are smarter than she gives us credit for and will wait for a more worthy female candidate to emerge.
In the meantime, I support Obama 100%.

David   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Hillary’s argument that ALL states should count (meaning Florida and Michigan) is in direct contradiction to her claim of having the Popular Vote. In order for her math to work for the “popular vote”, she adds Florida and Michigan, and ignores Hawaii, Wyoming, Nebraska, Minnesota, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Nevada and Iowa (because they use caucuses) – how is that counting ALL states? How is that democracy?

There is a reason that the popular vote is meaningless in a Primary, because it can’t be reliably calculated based on caucuses. That is why there is a delegate system – and if you don’t like it then petition the DNC to outlaw caucuses, change the system to a popular vote based nomination, and run that NEXT time. But in the year 2008, we don’t do it that way – sorry Hillary, you weren’t robbed the nomination, you lost it.

Relevant   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Obama ALREADY HAS more than 50% of all the potential pledged delegates, how can she possibly claim that she will end up with a majority of them?!

Feron   May 28th, 2008 1:06 pm ET

"She will lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates ONLY if she excludes all of the states that Barack Obama has won."

Excellent!

Concerned   May 28th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

This is why she should not expect to have the popular votes and the delegates:

Hillary completely opposed recognizing Michigan and Florida until after the primaries-i.e., when she realized she might need their delegates to win the nomination.

"It's clear that this election they're having in Mi & Fl is not going to count for anything," Hillary stated during an interview with New Hampshire Public Radio in October 2007.

Two months earlier, Clinton adviser Harold Ickes actually voted to strip the rogue states of their delegates.

Terry McAuliffe said in his memoir "The closes [MI's delegates will] get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for on state. The rules are the rules."

She only wins if she doesn't count the caucus votes, that's how her math works…talk about voices not being heard. Hillary was suppose to act "gracefully" not continue to throw shots at Obama. Or is she running from real issues that Obama and McCain have been discussing for the last two weeks. Get on topic Hilary!

JB NJ   May 28th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

I think that it is admirable that Hilary is holding on to this "fighter" theme, but come on Sen. Clinton, at what cost? Even in boxing the ref. has to call the fight at some point to save the fighter that does not know when to give up. Come on delegates, stop the fight already!

Sen. Clinton's intelligence is being clouded by her own selfish desire to win. STOP dividing the party and let this one go. Enough is enough!

Helena   May 28th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

She wants to disenfranchise all the people in Florida (64%) and Michigan (76%) who didn't vote because they were told their primary vote wouldn't count!! She's trying to steal votes. She won't get away with it. Besides, I don't want such a cheating, lying, freaky shady personality like Hillary anywhere near the White House!

Mike   May 28th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Dear Hillary,
It's true that underestimating the intelligence of the American people is difficult, but even us bumpkins who fell off the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down know that you can't put the popular vote in Michigan in your column. We would like to say that we can't blame you for trying, but we can't. It's just too much. Please stop.

Justin (ny)   May 28th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

I really don't want to keep losing respect for Hillary – she is a dynamic politician and has led an amazing and historic campaign….But I don't understand how on the one hand she can INSIST that Florida and Michigan count (despite obama not even being on the ballot in michigan, thus receiving ZERO votes) yet, on the other hand she INSISTS that the caucus elections meant nothing.

Its so hypocritical to disenfranchise the caucus votes, while claiming "we can't disenfranchise ANY voters, thats not what democracy is about, Florida and Michigan MUST be counted!!".

Talk about fuzzy math!!

HIllary, you tried as best as you could, but the will of the people is leaning in a new direction, and you represent the old guard. Sorry, but it was not meant to be.

wwf   May 28th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

He has time and again failed to clarify his stand on his ties to such people.

And he talks about his Uncles in US Army , who Hussein ?

Eli   May 28th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

Am I confused or what. Is it not true that the people who vote in the caucus voted also in the primary election, so does that not mean those people voted TWICE. If that is true why should their vote count twice.

mr.g   May 28th, 2008 1:04 pm ET

some one please gine her medication SHE is freakin crazy .First the Wright hook and now she is trying to suggest that some looney take a shot at Obama,then she claims to be ahead in the polls.

So the same system that got Bill Clinton nominated is no longer good enough for Hillary? Did Bill accept the results of the caucuses? Did Bill accept the right of the Democratic party to set the ground rules? Why do the rules need to change now?

Nevada   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

You have to count the caucuses too sweetheart… when you do that, you don't have the popular vote or the most delegates earned. So sorry, but you still lose.

Oh thats right… you only want the votes that help you to count… oh, it all makes sense now.

Steve   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

If it comes down to Clinton and McCain, I will have to vote McCain. If it comes down to Obama and McCain, it will be a much tougher choice for me.

Lisa   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Primary delegates….can she seperate people anymore? To hell with the caucus voters????? I really don't understand her logic of what she speaks. I do know that she is not the person I thought she was.

Christoffel van Vuuren - Montreal - Canada   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Go Hillary! Go!

You have the right to fight to the end, bitter though it may be.

Do Obama supporters want everything handed to golden boy on a gilt-edged plate? He has yet to prove the he is a fighter.

tom   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

Obama and his supporters are trying to hide the truth: Hillary will be ahead at the end of ALL states voting (not discounting FL and MI). Obama was on the FL ballot and he LOST the state. Even if Obama is given ALL the non Clinton votes in MI, he still LOST the state. Hillary, don't quit – you should be the Dem nominee!

Julie   May 28th, 2008 1:03 pm ET

FORGET IT! Just forget it………let prince Obama get the democratic nomination and lose the Democratic presidency. That's exactly what's going to happen. Obama gets the nod, Hillary voters will vote for McCain, and all the "jump on the band wagon" superdelegates will be left scratching their head wondering "duh, what happened"?

Carl29   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

The Clintons knew the game, but in their inmense arrogance they thought they would not need to go the extra mile. According to Ms. Clinton and Co. the nomination will be over on Feb. 5th. Now she is complainning about a system that nominated her husband with a calendar that was arranged at her convinience by Terry McAliffe in 2004. All the card were stack at her favor, but she lost the nomination by poor incompente. Just by this she does not deserve being this nation's leader.

Jan   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

What reality is Hillary living in? It's like a bad B level movie or soap opera and we can't seem to be able to change the channel….. Yikes….

White Independent   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

WOWW!!! Every time I think that she's starting to get it she stops taking her medicine. I'm really starting to think she's bi-polar. I have and ex-wife like her. She won't let little things like logic and reason stop her from arguing her point. Who cares what polls say now, before Obama has had a real chance to campaign against McCain. What polls is she looking at? Everyone I've seen there has been a 4% or less difference which is within the margin of error. I really hope that Obama picks Sebillius as his running mate. She becomes the first female V.P. and goes on to become the first female president.

Hillary or Hysterical?   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

If you think this is ugly now, just wait until after June 3rd when her options are fewer than they are now, and her desperation drives her to new hysterics.

No more Clintons   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

The Clinton's Legacy:

Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.

Anyone But Hillary!

Rick in Florida   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

Now she "leads in delegates earned through Primaries" !!!!!

All the states with Caucuses don't count now, eh?? How do you spell "disenfranchised"?? Now you don't care about any of THOSE voters in Caucus states??

So let's get this REALLY CLEAR….you care about votes YOU got, and in States YOU won, but NOT the votes Obama got, or in the States that HE won, right???

YOU HAVE FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY LOST IT.

Mike from Westchester   May 28th, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Is this woman COMPLETELY INSANE ??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By my calcs, today's supers have effectively closed Hillary out from being able to reach 2,026 and Obama is within a few of hitting the magic number.

Obama: 1,660.5 pledged + 320.5 supers + 39 from PR, MT, SD + 5 of remaining Edwards = 2,025 = 1 short

Hillary: 1,499.5 pledged + 283.5 supers + 47 from PR, MT, SD + 2 of remaining Edwards = 1,832 = 194 short

Remaining supers: 797 – 320.5 – 283.5 = 193 remaining

What does she think the DNC is going to do?

George from Minneapolis   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Someone please put this woman out of her misery. She is bordering on insane. I hope that she totally ruins her political career because of this. You would have to be crazy to vote for her for ANY office in the future after she has proven that she lacks character.

This lady is not fit for public office.

Rudy NYC   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

As Bob Scheiffer pointed out this past Sunday while speaking to a Clinton campaigner…..as I can best remember….

"..But, isn't this like a baseball game where the rules are laid out at the start and you play for nine innings to score the most runs, and not the most hits or fewest errors…."

Does Hillary Clinton even realize that all of her Michigan votes could conceivably be voided because it could be argued that her name was on the ballot illegally?

Does Hillary realize that while she argues "for all voters", she is only counting the ones that went to the poles, and is herself disenfranchising the ones that stayed home because the primary was not supposed to count anyway?

JOYCE IN ARKANSAS   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Beth from Jersey:

yes, Clinton is in the lead even counting the caucus votes. Please go to the CNN www look at the results, add them up and you will see…Clinton is right she is winning the popular votes including caucuses.

backwoods joe   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Backwoods joe say Hillary right….. 1+1= 3. Ev'ry body knows that!

Abby   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Obama is a FRAUD, ARROGANT, WEAK candidate – he will never be elected due to his questionable RADICAL backgrund.

OBAMA BLOCKED RE-VOTES in FL & MI – SO…he gets ZERO votes!

Mikie   May 28th, 2008 1:01 pm ET

Obey Obama…Obey Obama…Obey Obama…

jeremy from AZ   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Why is it that the HRC campaign feels it prudent to invent different categories for cross-sectioning the vote and then proclaim victory based on those categories and not on the collective decision? If it didn't work for Gore, who won the popular vote without question and lost, why should Hillary make a debatable claim on a small made-up category and expect victory? Caucuses represent votes too. Caucus states represent delegates too. Why does she feel that it is fair to fight for the 'disenfranchised voters' of MI and FL to then herself disenfranchise the voice of caucus goers? The extremity of her views and undemocraticness of her expectations in the final days of this election bring into question why I ever considered a vote for her.

James, Jefferson City MO   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

“When the primaries are finished, I expect to lead in the popular vote and in delegates earned through primaries … "

Translation…. numbers will not be in my favor, so do what you have to do to make sure i win.

Lisa   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

This woman is crazy!!!!

Mack   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Clinton – The bus for the presidential primary has left and guess what – YOU MISSED IT!!!! Get over it and be thankful you are at least a junior senator from NY. Do you really want to go down in history known as the Sorest Loser? I'm ready to take the crown from AL Gore and give it to you.

Angus McDugan   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Can you imagine how bad it would be to see Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea in the news every night for the next 4 years. Then try to decide what small percent of what she says is the truth. And how about that odd gapping smile and freeky glare she gives people.

Marc in DeKalb, IL   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Mark, Berwyn, PA   May 28th, 2008 1:00 pm ET

Can you just go away already?!!!!

Roomiester   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Here goes Hilliary on her dream of being the Nomanee of the party. I am waiting if the clintons try to force FL and MI delegates at the convention. Then the democrat party should toss them both out. I guess when states have caucuses she does not think thoses people count. This is what happens when you spend too much time getting greedy in washington. The people have had it with the bushes and now we had it with the clintons too. time for a real change. Hillary do eveyone a favor drop out of the race because no one really wants you.

No Way   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Welcome to Planet Clinton, where reality doesn't exsist.

M. Ames   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

Sociopathic, narcissistic, obsessive bullying is hardly democracy in action.

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

She will lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates ONLY if she excludes all of the states that Barack Obama has won.

Isn't that right, Hillary? :)

Lynda   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

CRAP. All she is doing is trying to put into peoples heads that Obama will lose because when you vote you always want to vote for a winner. She is desperate!

Molly   May 28th, 2008 12:59 pm ET

CLINTON IS OUR ONLY HOPE TO WIN!
Obama will NOT win due to his WEAK and questionable background!

OBAMA BLOCKED RE-VOTES – He is a FRAUD!!

Re-Votes were scheduled and funded in both states – this would solve the problem – months ago – BUT OBAMA BLOCKED RE-VOTES!

He is trying to STEAL the election!

NO OBAMA   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Hey DNC, it's not the party stupid. It's the person running. Hillary would make a great president. McCain would make a great president.
But obama is completely unfit to run this great country and his racist wife has no business in our white house. So, if not Hillary Clinton, I'll be more than happy to vote for McCain. I trust him alot more than I trust the african.

Mikie   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

You go, girl.

Keep following the DNC rules and take it as far as you can until a nominee is chosen. The country is more than ready to stop following in lock step behind the B.O. luvin' media and use their own brains for a change to vote for the best person for the job, HRC.

It ain't over til the lady in he pants suit says it is.

GERALD STROTHER   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 MORE DAYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BettiH, Indianapolis, IN.   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

OH MY GOODNESS…she is out of control. I was never a Clinton fan to begin with, now I can honestly say, if I weren't a Christian I could easily hate the Clintons. Sore losers, cheaters, liars…now I do truly believe they are capable of the mysterious murders that have happened due to orders being given by the Clintons. They are pathetic and pitiful people. VERY UNAMERICAN.

mollygonz   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

She is ridiculous. For all her talk about disenfranchising voters and now she doesn't even include caucus states..the DNC better do something soon because the word out of the Clinton camp is that HIllary first, party second. I'm believin it!!

Cathy in MD   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

I'm speechless.

Tim   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

This is way beyond sad. Senator Clinton, you lost. You will not be VP and you are ending any future hope for your political career. June will come and Senator Obama will have reached the 2026 number and will win the nomination fair and square.

Obama 08/12

Sean   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

How does she figure? She is making factual claims on events that "may" occur. She's going down kicking and screaming.

John B. From New Hampshire   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

so she fights for FL and MI who didn't have legal primaries, and most stayed home for knowledge that their votes weren't going to count, and she wants those votes counted… and one the flip side she wants to disenfranchise the caucus states?!?!?! way to go with the will of the people and have all the voices heard Hill!!

Bij- New York   May 28th, 2008 12:58 pm ET

Is she serious? Like is she really serious? Like seriously….how serious is she? I seriously think she believes that superdelegates are like 3rd graders or something

tigerakabj   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Ok. Somebody get this woman out of here.

There is nothing to argue here. If people can't see this lying snake for who she is, then I feel pity for you.

I hope Washington, Guam, Texas, Iowa, etc. are listening. This is too much. When this woman finally reaps her 35+harvest it will be one happy day for all Americans. Super D's, lets end this.

Anne   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

sad sad sad. She has been slowly coming totally unglued and now has totally and finally lost it. How on earth can she claim shes better. What at splitting the party, lying, changing the rules when it suits her.

JC   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

This is truly sad. Senator Clinton was someone I once admired but no more. I feel more sorry for her because she seems so desperate, but she really needs to take a look at reality. If she cannot win the nomination then how can she possibly win in the general election! Please Hillary, give up this despearte quest and unify the party!

Ron, TX   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Wow. She's going to have the delegate lead in -primaries-? And she's crying about voter disenfranchisement? What about the CAUCUSES?? How pathetic.

Charlotte   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Delegates are not locked into their endorsements until they actually vote at the convention. Everyone who has endorsed one candidate or another are able to change their minds. The process is not over until the convention. Otherwise, why have a convention at all? This whole process needs to be corrected before 2012.

Roger   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Yes…and I expect it to start raining cats and dogs. People that support Clinton seem to be living on another planet.

Francesca   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

If this nomination does, in fact, go to the Convention, Superdelegates should vote by their constituencies. Enough said!

You go girl. We're standing by your side until the Convention.

Hillary 08

Crazy Broad   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

The crazier this broad Clinton gets, the nuttier her supporters get too. Whatever insane leaps of 'logic' she makes, her supporters are right there, pretending like it makes sense.

I used to wonder how anyone could support such a hypocritical, deceptive, delusional nut-job, but it's become clear through this nomination process – her supporters are just as nutty as she is.

Mike in Columbus   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

Once again her metric for success changes.

Jim   May 28th, 2008 12:57 pm ET

What's wrong with caucuses?
Why didn't she try to do away with caucuses before the primaries?

Kate, Atlanta   May 28th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Old woman yells at cloud.

DemocracyNow2008   May 28th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

Who Cares what Clinton thinks ?
First the CNN one where Clinton says Obama cannot win against McCain now this?

Where is the Obama picks up 3 Delegates story.

I am seeing more Hillary garbage then ever.

Hillary is a loser and she is unpopular with many Democrats and others now.

I feel like I am reading a Hillary Campaign site .

What happened to real news?

This is not news but the same old garbage just another day.

Hillary need to dropout now.

Obama will win.   May 28th, 2008 12:56 pm ET

My god Clinton, get over it. You are LOSING AND THAT IS FINAL.
And by basically saying that the Caucus' don't mean anything you are saying that the millions that voted in them don't matter… humm… but yet you are saying we should count votes that KNEW it wouldn't count when they voted! …Clinton you are stupid. Just stop

Scott Glenn in Wa   May 28th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Go Hillary!
Show everyone you can take a licking and keep on ticking………..
……..in the end, however it will be Obama for Pres.

Beth form Jersey   May 28th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

Tell me, Senator Clinton, will you still be in the lead of the popular vote if you include the caucus results?

GULF WAR VET   May 28th, 2008 12:55 pm ET

GIVE IT UP

FP   May 28th, 2008 12:54 pm ET

If it were not for the undemocratic caucus system, if all 50 states would have had primaries with popular votes (direct popular vote) counted then, Obama would not be winning. Obama does not represent the will of the democrats, Obama represents just the ability of extremist activists that are disconnected with the American people. As it happened with McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry and even Ted Kennedy that fought Jimmy Carter at the convention with only 700 delegates the Democrats will: loose the election.
To win, the Democratic party needs a candidate from the center not an extremist left wing liberal.

Alex   May 28th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

Who does she think she's kidding?

Shesh. Give it up already
