Hilary could have won the democratic nomination if she had voted against the Iraq war from the start and not approve Florida and Michigan to move their primaries up. This is her fault and should have known better. What's worse, if the remaining super delegates take the nomination from Obama and gives it to Hilary, the republicans who switched parties to vote for her during the nomination will vote for McCain in the general election. Very frustrating indeed.

Rules are rules! The only reason the Clintons are crying now is because she is losing. Everyone knew, including the states this would happen and everyone signed agreements. (Guess Clintons signature doesn't mean anything.) I say this country has had enough of the Bushes and the Clintons. No more scandals or braking rules when it best fits their needs. I can still hear Clinton saying, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman..." Now its going to be... "I did not know what I was signing..."

Since she wants to make sure all the voters in Florida and Michigan count, can we find out, how many people did not vote because of the rules violation. I'm told that Florida alone has 4 million voters,only 1.7million voted. What about them as well as the voters in Michigan. I think the Clintons are more than willing to destroy the party in order to win. Why does she think she is the strongest, candidate, is it because she thinks she will get the black vote anyway. I don't think so, if they take this from Obama, say hello to 4 more years of Bush,it will be the death of the party. I'm praying this is over by next Wednesday, so Obama and true Democrats can really get focused on beating McBush

I believe that everyone is confused on what is right and what is wrong. I hope that all Hillary supporters get their wish but the other question is whether the other states feel the same way. MI and FL is not the only states that have voted for Obama or Hillary. So my point is if the DNC give them full rights to be heard then that means the next time there is an election just say you can have a primary anytime your state feel like it just let us know one or two months ahead of time.

Also why is Hillary so concern about why Karl Roves think she is better than Obama. Hillary will suck up to anyone that will get her over the top. At least one thing is for sure I am many others will not be there to support a liar and stealer.

Now come on Gov. Paterson...man up! I think you can see signs of desperation–no pun intended.

Right on Joe Texas!! I have no trust for Obama and will not support him as a democratic candidate.

Clinton 08!!

1. Clinton should have won this primary months ago according to the polls. SHE DID NOT. She ran a bad campaign and rested on entitlement.

2. Many voters DID NOT VOTE in FL or MI because they were told, rightly, that their delegates would not be seated for breaking the rules. Any solution now becomes a guessing game and is disingenuous to the other 48 states and the Obama campaign who followed the rules.

3. Obama has captured more votes, more delegates, more states, and raised more money because he worked harder and has a better message that resonates.

Concerned in NH says "We cannot ignore that Obama CANNOT win the so-called "swing states in November. He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida. If you cannot carry those states..YOU CANNOT WIN THE WHITE HOUSE!"

Barrack is leading McCain in the latest polls in :
California, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. She would carry Florida and Ohio, but you can't say he cannot carry these states. Let's unite!

Dem 08

Come on Hillary....we are all frustrated with your desperation. PLEASE be a lady and exit from this race as gracefully as possible. I am an Obama supporter. However, seeing your desperation and all your "ugly" tactics really makes me feel sorry for you ! PLEASE try to save what little respect you have left. PLEASE get out now. Do not continue to divide our party. ( Sad but true) WE NEED TO UNITE AND ELECT OBAMA !

Hillary is trying to steal the nomination with back room dealings concerning Florida and Michigan. I understand Harold Ickes, her campaign manager, is on the Board of the DNC. If any member of the ruling commitee is a part of either Obama's or Hillary's campaign he or she should not be allowed to participate in Saturday's meeting. It is an obvious conflict of interest.

Hillary is desperate along with her followers! She does not stand a chance, all her chances went out the window a long time ago!

Sometimes when you are behind in the 4th quarter and you keep giving all you've got, you still lose.

OBAMONOS-LET'S GO FOR CHANGE

Deeply Concerned in NH – HRC does not have the popular vote! For crying out loud! By WHAT reinvented math COULD she possibly have the popular vote. Obama has won over twice as many states, delegates are distributed by the vote and he has a substantial delegate lead. THIS is how Clinton does her math. She takes out the caucaus vote, beccase she did poorly in them. She adds Michigan and Florida WITHOUT a ruling (with Obama NOT on the ballot in Michigan) . Funnier yet...The math STILL doesn't add up in her favor with her taking out (disinfranchising/discounting peoples votes) that she didn't win. Its frankly one of the more pathetic things she has done lately...this popular vote lie.

Have people forgotten that before Hillary was losing she agreed that
Florida and Michigan votes would not count. She wants to break the law because she's losing. It's a shame she'll destroy the Democratic
Party because she got beat fare and square! Oh yeh! about experience look at what shape our country's in now thanks to EXPERIENCE!

He was just trying to jump onto the Obama bandwagon like all his brothers. Now,he like all the others is starting to realize that Obama will need the Clinton supporters come Nov. He's not "kind of" backtracking out of love for Hillary...he's just doing Obama's work to appeal to us.
Doesn't he realize that all this for and against business makes him less trustworthy and unrealible?
On the topic that Obama has decided, under pressure, to go to Iraq.
We've already seen who you are, sweetie, you're too late.

WATCH YOU BACK BROTHER, SHE IS GOING AFTER YOUR JOB NEXT.

Telling Hilary Clinton to continue to the democratic convention is like praising a cow and leading it to be slaughtered. She may be smart to quit soon but politician can be stupid when loosing a race.

FL and MI broke the rule. And majority of us are respecter of laws.
DISGUSTING. Its you people (Clinton's supporters) and the weakling DNC who are sabotaging America's rule of law. How can you change a rule in the middle of a game SIMPLY because someone happens to carry the name of Clinton.
My question is if FL and MI are allowed to get away with "murder" now, is there then any justification to expect any states to follow or obey the party rules in subsequent primaries? All you Clinton supporters
should be ashemed of yourselves.

I see that somebody got SPANKED.

Ok, somebody is back tracking...Gov, I respected you at one point but now you are just as pathetic as The Clintons.

I for one am very proud of how Barack Obama and his camp have handled every controversy (and snipe) that has come their way. Barack has even advocated the inclusion of FL and MI which benefits Hillary more than himself. Many seem to forget that it was the Democratic leadership in both of those states that blatantly violated their own party's rules. What's even more refreshing is that it appears that the majority of Americans are intelligent enough to see through all of the tactics that are being initiated by the Clinton camp. Sincerity and common sense will prevail as Barack Obama continues to maintain a high level of campaign effectiveness.

Did they offer him the vice presidency, or threaten to after his job??

hillary is frustrated, the dnc pushed obama down the throats of us democrats from the start. the media glorified obama, and villified hillary on a nightly basis. hillary wasn't liberal enough for the democratic powers that be. most democrats are moderate, and some conservative. the dnc is out of touch with their own base, blue collars, seniors, latinos, catholics, and jews. hillary has the base. stop being frustrated hillary, take your 17 million plus votes and run independent. you don't owe the democrats anything.hillary clinton independent 08!

Pat,
What part of Hillary signed a pledge( whens she thought she was winning that the votes in these states would not count) do you not understand? She talks about not disinfranchising the voters right? What about the votes that werent cast because the people of FL and MI knew they werent going to count...Disinfranchise them? Its sad Pat that no one ever taught you how to play fair and just..to me, you are the same as Hillary...A CHEATER!

Desperate / frustrated..... denounce / reject. lol.

I think Hilary is doing nothing, but hurting herself and democrates as a whole (if she takes it to the convention) at this point and THAT in my opinion is an act of desperation AND narcisistic entitlement. Far from flattering.

Telling hilary Clinton the continue to the convention is like praising a cow that will slaughted for meat

Looks like Paterson got that dreaded angry Clinton phone call....

Hillary is frustrated because she is no longer the enevitable nominee.

She is also desperate, just watch how TWISTED and DIVISIVE she is behaving!

Hillary is a certified LOSER. She does not even know what kind of campaign she is running! This is a Democratic primary, but she keeps talking about general election and only if she could use Republican rules she would be the winner!

Take it to the END Hillary we need you and you the most qualify for this job. Do not stop fight keep throwing more jab and knock crybaby out.

He must have gotten his hands slapped by mommy!

The real truth is Hillary cannot accept the facts. She is not frustrated, she is self-centered. So many times we have heard her say help me make history. It is always me, me, me! This is not the purpose of a presidential election. If she really cared about the people and concerns for this country she would respectfully step aside and support Obama so that the democratic party could unite. For Hillary, it does not matter what is best for this country, it is what is best for Hillary. A self-centered individual will never make a strong leader regardless to who it is.

I have been watching this race since Iowa , I was very neutral at that point, even probably more for Clinton because I am a lady and you that whole girl power thing.But the manipulation and dishonesty she and her husband have protrayed and then when her supporters get on tv and cheer that on, I can't even vote and it frustates me , I can only imagine what it dose to the obama supporters.It seems to me that he has played this game by all the rules and now because the clintons can't wrap their brains arround the loss , the democratic party continues to show more respect to the Clintons.I don't know if he will win the presidentual race, because I don't know how strong the republicans are in their party, but I do know that if the super d's choose clinton over him , she for sure won't win , she just honestly leaves a bad taste in my mouth.CONGRATULATIONS TO OBAMA
lets hope.

Both states went against party lines and no they should not take more of our tax money to redo it right the the 2cnd time around.
they get penalized. all delegates should get seated at 1/2 their vote.
popular vote are discredited since not all candidates were available to get their constituents to vote for them.if voters in those states dont like it ,they can vote their officials out of office next go around.

democrats 08

@ Pat

Which planet are you on?
DNC mande the rule to disbarn MI and FL votes and the Court where (you desperate Clintons behind lickers) filled your case threw it out already. A rule is a rule AND is a rule. Clinton is NOT bigger than any anybody in America, so why should the rule be bend for her?
I am disgusted by all these talks the Democratic party not winning in Nov. This is the FEAR MONGERING we are talking about. How on earth is someone (Hillary Clinton) who couldn't even fairly win the Democratic (PARTY) nominee be parading herself as the better of the 2 candidates – best placed to win the (NATIONAL) election in Nov. What does she take us for? A fool? Fact is the we the Democrats had spoken and our will shall be done. Take it or leave it.

Hillary should be frustrated alright. She went from the "heir apparent" next president to fighting for her political life in just under 1 year. She has only herself to blame for her so-called "leadership" and fateful campaign strategy.

Poor, undereducated white voters may be voting for her, but they're not contributing to her campaign. How frustrating – go figure.

No need to explain away the truth. Hillary is only concerned about herself and not the democratic party. She is doing everything thing that she can to highjack the primary election in November. If she cannot be the democratic nominee she will do what she can to prevent Obama from winning.

Hillary needs to understand that the truth will speak for itself without bringing attention to it. I believe that attention is only brought to a lie to cover up the truth or deny it. She does this by saying she has more popular votes and stating an opinion that she is the stronger candidate. The truth states the opposite.

Right...She is frustrated because the desperation keeps kicking in and won't go away...the more she conjures up some type of plot to ovetake this election...the more DESPERATION continues to overtake her!

Please. Spare me with the "desperation" term. Why not try some words such as: manipulative, cold, callous, self-centered,
power-hungry, huberis,selfish, non-caring, insensitive, LIAR, draconian...whew! I could sit here all night with this list, but many know the character she possesses.

Dear Hillary, my message to you:

The curtains have closed...the band ceased playing...the audience has departed. It is now time for you to remove yourself from the stage, and GO HOME!!!! Do take your DRAMA with you!

This guy seems increasingly like the reference John Lennon used for Ray Charles.

Go Hillary!!! Give it to the thief. Voters – think about it...you have a person who has claimed to be from Chicago, Arkansas, Scranton, Texas, Indiana and is very concerned about counting the votes in Florida and Michigan and Karl Rove is supporting Clinton on the ticket. WHY? Because they know, if you give it to Hillary – the African-American and youth vote is done with the Clintons. They can beg the negro voters back into the party, but we Republicans know the Democratic party would be destroyed.

Go ahead dummies – see if Hillary can carry the hard working – American hard working white people. I bet Hillary would carry Kentucky (Louisville and Lexington), Arkansas (Little Rock, Pine-Bluff) and Georgia (Atlanta). Let's go another step – Hillary will win and carry Washington, Kansas, Missouri (St. Louis – Kansas City), Michigan (Detroit), Ohio (Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus), North Carolina & South Carolina without the black and youth vote.

Vote Hillary and you will witness one of the largest defeats in Presidential history and the DNC would be FRIED!!! It's funny to hear idiots say, "...times were good in the 90's with the Clinton family" It was her husband not her. Hillary served just as much time in the White House as Monica Lewinski – you're all stupid. This is why I'm a Republican.

These clinton's are definitely desparate! The white house doesn't belong to them-"Will you people please past the message over to them". Their time has come and past- Bill carried their torch. Take your money and go to another country if you just got to be a leader- England. They believe in that "king and queen bull". Their actions during this campaign has poisoned their image in voting constituency for a lifetime. Democracts cannot win without the afro-american vote-trust me!

Obama voluntarily took his name off the Michigan ballot. Clinton left her name on the ballot because she had the intelligence to see Michigan might be counted in the future. From a legal viewpoint, this could be costly for Obama in terms of delegates. We are not looking for what is "fair", we are looking for what is legal. This is the way lawyers think and respond to these types of situations.

Hillary ran a good campaign...but she's not winning. It's time to give it up! OBAMA 08

He is only saying this after the Clintons attacked him for his previous comments. That's what the Clinton's do. They remind me of the Bush administration. If you don't agree with everything they do and say you are ostracized and your credibility is destroyed.

I heard Romney wants to eliminate social security.

The comment is that Hillary is FRUSTRATED...
Is that to mean Bill has a new girlfriend?
I guess it depends on what is is.

Nah....we know desperate when she is standing in front of us......

If you watch Larry King tonight, there are sheets of polka dots flashing across the screen while his guests are talking.

Once more the computer nuts have gone daffy!

While the technology is there, PLEASE, Larry, stop this! It is sooooo irritating! I am going to switch channels.

Both Hilllary and Obama are toast. Hurry up and nominate the loser
Obama so we can get to the main event. McCain will pulverize him in November. This time the voters will decide not the party faithful will decide the election. The Red,White and Blue patriots will defeat Obama.

I hope Senator Clinton does go all the way to the convention. I grew up watching the conventions and came to love politics for that reason. These young people who think elections are just about a rally and looks of noise need to see how the process was designed to work. Hillary has won more votes than Barack and if the DNC doesn't have the nerve to tell Obama "NOT SO FAST" then let's take it to the convention. We cannot seat another President who did not win the popular vote. Go for it Hillary...we are with you all the way.

Geez, I wonder what changed his mind? A threat perhaps?

Just a few days left and we won't have to listen to Hillary anymore. When is the last time she went to Iraq. She voted for the war.

Hopefully the DNC won't let Hillary to destroy the Party before she leaves. It is all about her EGO and thrist for POWER. It's is not about the country or the Party.

Barack Obama is going to be one our greatest President's in history.
He will win no in November no matter what Hillary says. Please just leave.

God Bless Barack Obama and the USA.

i used to love the clintons, but this primary election season has shown me a different side of the clintons that most Americans aint aware of. trace them back all the way to Arkansa-then you will really know that they are both distasteful-Talk of desperation and lies.

Obama '08

The NY Gov. should not back down this woman is not a real New Yorker. If by some chance she were to get the nomination our party will self destruct. Because I'll be one of the first to make noise. Gov Patterson should focus on New York issuses not the bratty Clintons. Remember rules are rules stick to your guns.

GOD BLESS OBAMA, ANGELS GUIDE OBAM FOR ALL THE IGNORANT PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT HIM., GOD BLESS AND KEEP ALL OF YOU.

In all my years of watching the Democrats destroy themselves, this time, I have seen the "worst" ever!

Every rule has been changed: Let me list a few of these–
1. scrap the "delegate" counts (Kerry and Gore were dumb!!!)
2. scrap the "super-delegate" counts (Edwards is dumb to have dropped)
3. scrap the "winner" of the democratic race, regardless (kick Obama out)
4. crown the "queen" with all her baggage along with her (Hillary)!
5. change the rules, even the general election to crown the queen (Count FL and MI)

Who is Hillary running against at this time? Hillary or McCain is not looking at Hillary as a nominee. Let us "respect" her because she is a "fighter." This nation always crowns "dirty" fighters– just look at Bush!

She is a very very desperate candidate. She has already agreed to the current situation of two states a few months ago when I thought she had wrapped up her campaign back then. Now the real numbers shows who is within the reach, which is not her. She cannot accept the fact. Very sad. Now who wants this manipretive person to run the Nation. She is so OVER.

Why should matter what this African-American said. he would do anything anlong with his brothers to dethrone HILLARY. Besides and adulter such as he needs to just stay out of politics. He has th same morals of Dr. King and Obama.

Well i don't blame you!!! because you are lagally blind so you can't see the reality. Obama 08!!!!!!!

she is both frustrated and desperate. But it's all good because she has the right.

Remember she started as favourites so I feel she really really go to be frustrated.

Go Hillary. You are the only one who can beat McCain. I understand your frustration. The media and the DNC is trying to destroy you. It's sexism. I admire your tenacity. Don't give up.

Hillary is a snake that will burn anybody alive to get her way. Her supporters are either stupid or ignorant not to see that.

I guess he realized that if Clinton loses.... he has to deal with her as a Senator in NY for another term.

Besides...... What can Clinton do if she loses??

RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK AGAINST HIM!!

Hillary how dare you try to convince millions of people that the Popular Vote is what matters most and you count your votes in Michigan when Obama wasn't even on the ticket. You must think we are really stupid to buy that.. You have no sense of fair play, you are a sore loser. You have lost. Get Over Yourself!!!

DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE THE ELECTION. WHY?

HILLERY WILL MAKE SURE THAT IF SHE WILL NOT GET THE NOMINATION, SHE WILL GO TO CONVENTION TO MAKE OBAMA WEAK SO HE WILL LOSE THE ELECTION. THEN SHE WILL SAY "I TOLD YOU SO" ALL THIS IS BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMM ABOUT PARTY WINNING THE ELECTION LIKE SHE DOES TO FULFILL HER PERSONAL AMBITION.

IF DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE, I TRULY HOPE THAT THIS WILL BE THE END OF HER POLITICAL CAREER....THAT SHE WILL BE THROWN OUT OF SENAT AND NEVER ALLOW TO COME BACK.

Win or lose the primaries, Hillary will get my write-in vote in November.

How many Obama’s does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None………they can’t do it………they just stand around in the dark saying YES WE CAN,
YES WE CAN, I HAVE HOPE, WE CAN CHANGE.............THE LIGHTBULB.

Then……………Wright storms through the door, and blames the burned out bulb on the white man.

I find it hard to believe the people who want her to give up before the end of this process, Kennedy was in the fray until August against Jimmy Carter? I understand her determination to complete her committment to the American people who have yet to be heard. I will write her name on my ballot in November. Obama is too liberal for the majority of Americans. He has lied about many things. Politicians are all liars. You just have to decided which lies you find least offensive. I can not get past Rev. Wright and that church, I can not get past the dirty dealings in his run for the Senate. In his book he says he knows what side of himself to show the white people. I have a gut feeling he is not being truthful and is in disguise. He is not what he appears to be.

Obama reminds me of a snake oil salesman from the past.

He’s trying to sell you something thats gonna cure all ills, aches and diseases. It can make the blind see, it can make the wheelchair ridden walk, it can cure the common cold.

When it’s only just castor oil.

But it gave you HOPE.
It gave you CHANGE, castor oil causes bowel movements.
It made you shout YES WE CAN, but you know you really can’t.
JUST WORDS just to make a sale to a sucker.

Yeah, Hillary is desperate and it is now showing. She adn Obama originally agreed to these rules and was ok with it. Now, she wants some type of relief from those rules. I would say that its goinng to backfire on her like the campaign/primary already has. I feel like the rules were made, now lets all just follow them.

Okay CNN, Joe Texas? You could at least run a spell check if not actually read the post and clean it up a little. Is Wolf Blitzkrieg running the moderation or Nancy Grace?

Obama was in Howard Deans first Deans Dozen.

The handpicks of Dean and the old school Dems for certain positions.

Oh how the weak minded thought CHANGE................it's the same ole old school that has been backing Obama.

sophia,

So what if he called her "desperate"? I think desperate is about the kindest word one can use to describe Hillary Clinton's behavior the last few months.

I used to have a great deal of respect and admiration for Hillary Clinton. Now, as soon as I see her on TV, I can't wait to flip which ever station she's on.

For some reason, I used to believe the was the better of the two Clintons. With her endless mean-spirited and negative behavior she's proven to be every bit as craven and venal as her husband.

Obama and Odinga in Kenya
Standing behind a tree
k-i-l-l-i-n-g
First comes the church
filled with the people
then they set fire
to the doors and the steeple.

Hell, desperate, frustrated, whats the frickin difference. Lets just add pathetic for good measure.

WHO CARES IF SHES DESPERATE OR FRUSTRATED, SHE STARTED WITH THE ATTACKS THEN THE RACE BECAME UGLY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I WILL NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN...I WILL NOT BE ONE OF THOSE WHO SAYS IF OBAMA IS THE CHOICE TO THEN VOTE FOR THE GREEDY REPUBLICAN PARTY... I WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY , IF THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME BLACK OR WHITE I'M A TRUE DEMOCRAT.

NO MORE ATTACKS
DEMS 08 OBAMA SWEETY/HILLARY.

Hillary or McCain....................take your pick.

"Okay, I concede". Three very simple words. What gives Hillary? The preening is over, it's now mute. How hard is that to deal with? Really? You're a millionaire! How hard is that again?

Obama! Our NEXT president! May 28th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

OBAMA 08!

Hillary supporters, either vote Dem or just dont vote! You will be a disgrace to the dem party and a disgrace to this country if you vote for McBush.!
=========================

The biggest disgrace I can think of is to vote for a racist and a anti-American like Obama.

With all the racist rants from his books, and his anti-American ways, and his relations with racists, Marxists, and shady friends, only the uninformed and the weak minded will vote for him.

What in the world are women teaching their kids regarding the MI and FL "unsanctioned" elections? Yes, it is "go ahead and break the rules" even though we are the ones who set them. Just go ahead and do what you want and everything will be all right after that!1 This is the message that is being sent – it is not a bout disenfranchising anyone.. No one is above the law and all Hillary wants now is to grab at any cost. NO wonder women have not moved ahead as fast, it is not sexism, it is because they do NOT want to abide by the same rules. They want it their way or no way. This is a disservice to all women and no wonder my girls will have nothing to do with this kind of message and they and all their friends are withdrawing support for what could or would have been a great nominee if only she was honest and truthful.

Gov. Patterson is a stand-up guy, but he's also far too polite to criticise Hillary publically. As a constituent: Hillary, you've overstepped and need to reclaim your Senate seat and prove, through actions, that you are a worthy Democrat. Otherwise, your run, just like your friend Geraldine Ferrero's, will be viewed not as heroic, but as deeply, deeply flawed.

I don' t know how the DNC can offer up a partial solution without breaking the rules. If they can break the rules a little by a partial count of the vote, then they should go ahead and count the whole vote.

Give me a break. That is exactly why Gore lost in Florida. He demanded a recount of a few counties and not the whole state.

So let's get this right for a change and count all the votes in FL and MI.

Let's do it right.

hey hilldog: jsut club obama in the leg like tanya harding: that way everybody will know how desperate you are

The Super Delegates have no back bone and fear rioting if Obama does not win the nomination. We should not have to suffer with a weak candidate heading in to November. Democratic party officials have no stomach for the truth! HRC is the real candidate to win the election!

If men start to push women around on TV try this one. Just call thier first name twice.

Desperate people do desperate things. Look at the way she has been acting since she fell way behind.

The frustration comes to voters like me who are sick of the disingenuous attack on our intelligence by the Clinton campaign, including the candidate and ex-president.

Bubba claims Hillary is the victim of the media who will not protray her highness as the best candidate. Barack Obama beat her fair and square in a game in which the Clinton's are supposed to be the masters.

Please stop trying to fool the majority of american voters, both independents and democrats. The fact is in the game played by the rules everyone agreed to Senator Clinton lost.

Phil T.

Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is frustrated at who? I think the answer should be at herself. First she thought she will win the nomination , has experience, the presidency was within her grasp, the democrat owe her the nomination, underestimated Obama, she has will have contributors to give her money for her campaign, the name Clinton and many more. Now she sees her dream and her thinking are fading she is frustrated. She is in the stages of grieving. I don't know how she is dealing with her stages of grieving however the way she is acting, she is more in denial than any one I have seen combine with frustration and resentment. She is taking her anger to destroy the party and destroy Obama of becoming the nominee. Saying goes like this "if I am going down I might as well bring down the party with me and the norminee.

Keep going Hillary! Step aside Mr Obama. Do the party a favor and so we do not lose for sure in November!

He is going by her voice cause any body who can see knows that Hillary is a crook. You can see it in her eyes. Sorry Patterson.

desperate, frustrated, bitter... how about: losing.

Why don't you support Obama,Hillary can't win.Time to
get behind leader of the party.

scared !!

Punish the DNC leaders and the Florida and Michigan political leaders, not the citizens of America!!!!

The Governor must have received a 3AM phone call. But she is WRONG for this country in so many ways. It's not even about the math anymore. She lacks integrity and honesty and her supporters want her in the white house. She's a liar and will never be my president. I hate lying.

Here is an odd thought. You work for a company that has a CEO at the helm. That CEO retires...Do you really think that company will hire a new CEO that is lacking credentials? Credentials == Experience. Your resume is everything in today's marketplace, so don't you think you would feel a bit uneasy if the largest business in the United States (Federal Government) is being administered by an inexperienced CEO (President). Just food for though... Also, when did American need uniting? Didn't we do that in two previous internal conflicts (Revolutionary / Civil War)? Here is another realism....Do you think any single president will change the inner workings of Washington in one or two terms, because if you do pinch yourself it's time to wake up!

TO DEEPLY CONCERNED IN NH: You are WRONG – California will never go RED. Obama will take California hands down. Besides that, Obama has broken ground into what used to be RED states. The "swing state" mentality no longer applies.

They need to revote for the sake of everybody and that all the names are on the ballot, cause Obama knows that he has no grounds to win ,if they re do those states completletly, he will not win also he is trying to steal this election, He has way to many problems and allot of people do not trust him, The Rev Wright scandal came out a little to late, And that is something the DNC , voters, and superdeligates need to take into consideration, Your going to tell me that someone that goes to a church for 20 years doesn't believe those views, Hillary is our only hope to take back the white house, It seems that the election was bought by Obama, In Texas Hillary beat him by like 200 thousand votes in the primary and Obama got more deligates cause of the caucused that he beat by like 30,000 votes, It's not fair, FL and MI are swing states and they cannot alienize those votes, Those states are part of the 50 states that represent our country, Times were good in the 90's when the Clinton's were there, and I'm sure Hillary will be a better President..... Clinton 08

Bill must have paid him a visit and done some finger wagging.

Give me a break! ALL that is printed is ANTI Clinton! SMEAR SMEAR!!! SHAME ON THE PRESS!!!

Sexually frustrated maybe, but desperate? Definitely!

...while we woul all love to see everyones vote count, neither democratic candiate should be allowed to benefit or be penalized for the votes cast in the Florida and Michigan primaries. The fact still remains

1. The 2 states Dem parties broke the rules even with the threat of having their votes deemed null and void. If there is anyone to blame it is those committee members who showed dis-regard for their state party members.

2. When Hillary [knew] she had the votes and the super delegates in her pocket she could have cared less about anyones votes in Florida or Michigan. How do we know this is true? Because it only became an issue for her campaign when the sight of what she once [knew], in regard to her electability, became very fuzzy. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was Hillary in the lead and Barack was the one with won primaries in penalized states, every Hillary supporter would be in an uproar screaming "RULES ARE RULES!!".

Ladies and gents, what is America if the rules of engagement only apply when it's convenient for the benefactor? As a registered "independent" that is not all that impresed with any of the 3 remaining candidates, I grow so weary of this non-sense. Barack Obama has won this race fair and square according to the rules of the DNC. To take it from him now would make the Democratic party look just as deceitful as the Republican party in the eyes of many.

And I'm sure Hillary supporters won't be proud of the outcome this summer but things could be so much worst and it will be if you allow irrational and childish emotional displays prevent this nation from finally ending the chapter of Bush politics.

My goodness people.. we teach our children to fight hard, courageously and fairly all the while hoping they understand that you just cannot win them all. It's called being a good sport. Obviously what we neglect to tell our children is those lessons are all BS when it comes to being an adult. Remember everyone, even if your candidate does not make the final cut.. the victor is merely the top representative of the Democratic Party.. he/she is NOT the party itself meaning he/she still must listen tot he voice of the party or inevitably end up a permanent political outcast.

Geez! Who opened the hate gate today?
No room at all on the last article. Venom and bile all over the place.
Must be a Rush group.

I'll bet Bill Clinton took time out from his usual campaign "frump", picked up his cell phone, and gave Mr. Patterson a "little advice" about his choice of words to the media!! This campaign has brought out so many "back trackers", it is hillarious!!

Number of comments from clinton supporters demanding FL an MI be counted = thousands

Number of comments from Clinton supporters with any explanation whatsoever as to why their queen signed off on having the delagates not count in the first place = ZERO

Has anyone else ever noticed that Hillary looks like Chucky?

HILLARY ALL THE WAY....

NObama.com

WHY CHANGE YOUR WORDS BRO. SHE IS JUST WHAT YOU SAID THE FIRST TIME. SHE IS DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ANYONE CONNECTED WITH HER THAT'S NOT FAMILY. THE CLINTONS WILL GO DOWN IN FLAMING DOO DOO, THE LONGER SHE PUSHES THIS NOMINATION THE WORSE SHE IS GOING TO BE. I AM SURE THAT SHE WILL BECOME A REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDENT AFTER THIS. SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORSE PERSON IN THIS FREE WORLD SHE IS A UGLY REPRESENTATIVE OF WOMEN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN. HILLARY CLINTON BUSH.

Blackmail.

To Deeply Concerned in NH:

There is certainly one thing you can count on. California will strongly support Mr. Obama.

California is not a RED State. I live here and know this for a fact.

Also for you to say "...He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida..." is flat out wrong and base-less. He may not carry them all, but certainly he will carry some.

National:
Obama 47, McCain 44
Clinton 46, McCain 45

Favorable/Unfavorable:
Obama 51/39, McCain 50/38, Clinton 48/44

Ohio:
Obama 44, McCain 43

Pennsylvania:
Obama 46, McCain 40

Iowa:
Obama 47, McCain 40

Colorado:
Obama 48, McCain 42

Virginia:
Obama 43, McCain 44 (compare to Clinton 39, McCain 50)

(Average of latest polls by Real Clear Politics)

Yes he's currently behind in Florida, but he doesn't need to win Florida to win the election. Can we please put away the baseless nonsense about how "Obama can't win against McCain in November, but Clinton can"? Obama will obliterate McCain if Clinton will just kindly leave the stage on June 4 and stop dragging him down and slowly solidifying her supporters distrust of him into lost Democratic votes.

Oh my goodness! You mean to tell me the woman isn't even showing her desperation yet... just frustrations??? I think we've heard and seen plenty enough; regardless of which "ation" she feels now!

I'd like to see a clip of Hillary saying that Mi and Fl did not matter. Does anyone have any footage?

It will be strange May 31st the news media broadcast large group of people protesting not to count Michigan and Florida. We've been watching upside down world for many months now. See how the media will play this one.

DNC , I Voted In The Michigan Democratic Primary Jan. 15th 2008 , My Vote , And The Votes Of Michigan Primary Voters , Better Be Counted As Certified . Or This Democrat Will Teach The DNC A " LESSON " Starting This Fall , And All Elections For The Next 4 Years . I'm Gonna Vote Straight Republican !!!!! . The Democratic Party Has To Be Punished !!!!! You Have Violated Our Civil Rights !!!!! . And You're Gonna Pay !!!!!

( DVR ) Democrats Vote Repubican , No More DNC !!!!!

Whatever David !

Desparate, Frustrated, Mean,Angry, Cross, Miserable, Spiteful, Hateful, Bitter, Sore Loser......that's what best describe the Clinton Camp !

Obama is ahead in the polls in California now. Many of the Ca supedelegates are in his pocket right now. Get your facts correct! A whole lot of Clinton remorse out on this West coast.

I completely agree with Leon. Obama is equal with Jimmy Carter, and Carter is the worst president in the history of United States.

Desperate, desperate.

Im proud to see Mr. Obama finally bought a new suit. He will need it for the job hunt he will be going on soon.

Clinton 08 ....if not....McCain 08

BC never complained about delegates or caucases when he was running. It is only now when the coronation is not about to happen do you hear all the whining. Now, everything is not right for the Princess and the King! Can't wait until they disappear into the political dust heap.

When I first saw this man standing behind Hillary my first thought was that he looked like he was a real loser. However, the man has shown the grace and intestinal fortitude befitting a true leader. He had the guts to come back before the press and correct the misconception that his support was waning. If all of Hillary's supporters had the guts this man did, she would be in the lead now. However, most of them are weak and bowing to party pressure to support the "minority black man". it's a shame. We have a real leader in Hillary and she could make a very big difference in our country and the party's treatment of her is nothing less than shameful.

She IS desperate - she's like a drowning cat - she'll claw and cling on to anything and take anyone down with her!
Obama '08

No, he was right the first time – it is DESPERATION.

Liar? Scared? Blackmail? This is the Obama supporters? I'm also frustrated because it depresses me to watch the DNC throw this election in the trash. I don't believe for one minute that Sen. Obama will defeat McCain because I've seen him in the debates. There are a lot of unanswered questions about him and he doesn't answer the questions well at all.

If clinton win I will never in my life vote. Period. Everytime I hear her talk I get so annoyed. I am from Michigan. I am tired of people saying count Michigan and Florida. We broke the rules so let us pay.

Hillary won't help New Yorkers as President.

Desperate is the word, bitter another. June 4, 2008 Hillary should just bow out. If she doesn't then we know for sure its all about her screw the country, screw the party. I wish the Clinton's would just go away and stay away. OBAMA, he's the next president and Hillary and Bill are just going to have to take the vinegar... they've already had the sugar.

He realized they are (Clintons') are coming back to NY to haunt him but entitled to his opinion. Good job, Governer!!

Grasping at straws again!!!! Talk about desparation.
What about the caucus votes not being in the calculations of Billary and including the Florida and Michigan votes where OBAMA did not campaign? How can these calculations of Popular vote cause an uproar of desparation?
Clinton....give it up....Your FINISHED!!!! ha ha ha

GO OBAMA O8-2012

In spirit,
Horse in Canada.

He was blackmailed, so sad

I strongly support Senator Clinton. She will be a remarkable Commander-in-Chief of the USA. I am saddened by the way she was treated by the media. It is evident that Obama is the darling of the media. Edwards placed his support for Obama with such a patronizing comment to how great Clinton is. I could'nt believe how disrespectful the comments were about this brilliant and enduring woman. All the best Senator Clinton.

go hillbilly
we do not want you
you have 35 years experience and you would beat maccain,

Hey guys, I'm sorry but I just seen the Pres. do a chest bump! LOL!!!! At least the President loves his sports.......but I gotta agree with Tom(Foremon), he was calm and relaxed.........I mean, what else you would do if you're the President and see what's going on around you??? Can't pretty much do anyting and just chill......

But that was funny! LOL!!!!

"Go deep Mr. President, go deep"!!! LOL!!!!

Ijust don't know how to feel about him...by the way, my dad is NOT believing nothing now......he doesn't want to.

I will not watch any further comments on politics until June 4. This game of (dirty?) politics is really affecting me, and four more years of republican's is unthinkable....well, there is Canada and Italy...think I will pack up and leave!

@The Oracle of Delaware
Why do you not just start counting lies and then we see if you still call Obama a lier. How do you call your favorite candidate then ? Mother of all lies ?

@Deeply Concerned in NH
I agree (at least partly). Caucuses are not very democratic. But do you think, "the winner takes it all" is more ? Sure, nothing which will change till fall. But probably it would be a good idea to stop complaining that Clinton didn't make it, stop claiming that Obama won't have a chance in fall and start acting like one party. Finally we all want the same. Change in Washington.
And talking about democracy .... Do you think it's democratic to agree to sanctions against Michigan and Florida and later turn around and claim those votes (just because she needs them, otherwise she would give a sh.. on our two states). This is neither democratic nor presidential to me. If she would have opposed the DNC descision from day one .... but she did not turn around until she realized she needs those votes. VERY, VERY UNPRESIDENTIAL.

If he wins, when his term is over, the nation will be damaged beyond repair, the democratic party forever gone, and many terrorist attacks on us. DO NOT DOUBT ME! I can see the truth in him.

Out of a corrupt, power-hungry, lying woman who can do the job, and a unqualified pacifist who promises help and change who can't do the job. Hillary Clinton is no more evil than your average American, she just has a enormous ego.

She knew the rules. She agreed to the rules. She is losing, because of the rules. I will never vote Democrat again, if Clinton steals this nomination.

This is strictly Republican mud slinging tactics. It's pathetic.

Vote Libertarian, if Clinton steals the nomination!

Did anybody tell you that the first responses is using the right one. Yes, she is very desperate. I quest Biilyboy got to you like he is trying to get DNC.

"He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida."

Wow I have seen a lot of nonsense from the HRC campaign, but there's no competing with this insult to our intelligence. Just turn up ANY poll and you'll see Obama either being competitive, winning or blowing McSame away in those states. And as long as you are on it, busy spinning the world, of course you can mention Ohio twice while ignoring many other states...

how can anyone in their mind vote fop obama.what is wrong with America.

Lets put it this way.....she is desparate as a result of being frustrated regarding the upcoming cancellation of her coronation ceremony. How about that!

A desperate white house wife?

Yes, it is about time…you all start telling the truth!!

CNN – included.

Go Hillary…all the way to the convention!!

Can you say, "Backpaddle..?" Sure you can. I knew you could.

We love Hillary here in Florida, and we are not fooled by Obama's speeches, & stuffed shirt.

Go Hillary Go********************************************

******************Florida Loves Hillary*****************************

Countless in Florida

The only thing I could say to that woman is "GET OUT". I could have voted for her at some point but I now find her despicable and beyond the pale. I hope that the DNC will not bend the rules to placate her.

Notice how the press dropped Obamas comments about his uncle liberating Aushwitz. They trounced the hell out of Hillary for the Bosnia thing for weeks. Obama gets his lie reported and then nothing else is said. Even the vile haters in the Obama camp on these comments aren't mentioning it. They're too busy calling Hillary a liar over and over while convienently forgetting Obamas three different answers for Rev. Wright. Wasn't in the pews, can't disown him, throw him under the bus. Governor Paterson at least knows who has the only chance of beating McCain. Obama is a know nothing, done nothing media created rock star. He and his supporters will sink the Democrats chances in November.

On May 22, "Paterson, a superdelegate, said he doesn't believe the DNC should change the rules after the fact on Florida and Michigan and added that he's not buying her claims about leading the popular vote if the ballots cast in those states were counted."

Now Governor Paterson is changing his opinion and tone.
I wonder what happened to him and the Clintons between May 22 and today.

I was impressed to know Paterson had believed in rules are rules.
What bothers me the most about the Clinton machine is that the engine of this machine is run by favors. I do this for you and you do that for me. Where are the people in this machine? Spent fuel to be used and tossed?

Wow, the governor is backtracking his words now? The Clinton's must have called him and offered him a favor if she steals the election form Obama! The word is desperate and delusional. Hillary is very sad, and so is Bill. I had the utmost respect for both of them but now that has gone down to zero.
The democratic party are wimps. Superdelegates end this race. Please put Hillary and company out of their misery now! Why are they prolonging this race. Obama is the winner!

To: Deeply Concerned in NH

Take a nap if your so tired. Your arguments lack truth and common sense.

Indeed she is frustrated, a better word. My heart goes for her, too bad she had to be the candidiate when 'Obama' was also there. No match at all. Obama and his team proved themselves not only the best of the best, but righfully so deserving for what they are going to get, and good for us all too.

Let's all join hands; Obama supporters and Clinton supporters to make sure we send a democratic candidiate to white house 2008, to cast this spell of Republican curse off.

A.M.
Houston, Texas

We are desparate for the Clintons to fade away!

We cannot win in November without Hillary Clinton as our nominee. Obama cannot win the states we need to win. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER STAYING IN OR GETTING OUT SO STOP USING THAT AS YOUR DEFENSE FOR A LOSING CANDIDATE. What a shame it will be when we lose in the fall....

How long will people ignore the truth. Hillary is not concerned about anyone but Hillary. Anybody that agrees with her selfishness and dishonesty must live by the same values. I would let it go and call it a day. You win some and lose some. Women and men of the Democratic party, no matter who you support, please do not condone these as values–selfishness, hatred, anger, etc.

I like the word "desperation" She is losing & willing to do anything to win. She's trying to steal the nomination from Barack. I don't trust Hillary at all. Anything is possible that is what she herself says that is the reason she's staying in it, hoping something will happen to Barack to knock him out of the race & win that way. I am hoping the Clinton reign will come to an end.

Is it only me that notices that TOP Obama supporters are not even bothered to counter claims from Hillary's henchmen on who is the stronger candidate? Obama is a bad bad man. Look what Obama has done to Hillary turning her into a literally mad woman looking for any salvation. And the funny thing is that Obama is so cool and focused on his mission.

I'll tell you all something Bill Clinton must be happy that he did not have to contest with Obama for the nomination, this guy Obama is a competitors worst nightmare come alive.

No matter what you have or well connected you are you MUST LOSE TO OBAMA.

Obama 08!

J.P. in Toronto wrote May 28th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

"Barack Obama has nothing to fear because he is less likely to be harmed walking the streets of any place outside of the USA (including Iraq) than the streets of the U.S. South."

You are absolutly right

She is desperate Obama is what 50 away from winning?

Question to HRC supporters.

If Obama is a joke, then what do you call this comedy show by HRC?

Because I don't see anything but a joke when I hear Billary speak!!!!

OKAY AMERICA YOU ALSO WENT FOR THE SECRET WEAPONS WHAT A JOKE NOW I GUESS YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THAT HILLARY SHOULD HAVE THE VOTES IN MICHIGAN AND NOT OBAMA WHO WENT BY THE RULES AND ALSO PAYS HIS BILLS WHAT A TOTAL JOKE AND THE BILLS ARE OWED TO WORKING AMERICANS AND BY THE WAY IF YOU HILLARY YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO TAKE HER LOW LIFE HUSBAND WHO SHE LOVES HA HA

She is both frustrated and desparate, she knows she is going to lose, she has nothing else but complaining and trying to break the rules, using the race card and the sexism card and the conspiracy card, destroying Obama with her absurd and offensive kitchen sink strategy and begging and crying like a baby to get what she wants,she has gone way too low to have any chances for the presidency. She says she is more suited to beat McCain, but the McCain campaign can destroy her in a blink, the republicans are focusing only in Obama because he is the real threat, and Obama is beating them, if Clinton wins it would be great for republicans.

Of course she is frustrated, she thought she'd be queen of the world by now. Fortunately, she was wrong!!!!

too little too late: Hillarious is desperate!

And she will never be a president of the United States!

Not in this lifetime!

OBAMA '08'

YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Guess hes not too blind, he sees enough to know that saying those things he said last week against Senator Clinton in NY is a good way not to get elected back as Governor, to bad hes to blind to see that Hillary is Done.

OBAMA 08' & 12'

People are tired of this constantly blickering. I'm for one would be glad when November primaries take place and Obama bring home the grand prize. How about that CNN with your onesided views.
CNN-CLINTON NEWS NETWORK

Obama '08

Hiilary signed an agreement not to seat the delegates from florida and Michigan. So what is the problem ? When she is loosing, she wants to seat them ? Players in a middle of a game can not change the rules to eneble them to win ! This is what exactly HRC is doing, agitating her "Blue collar hard working White voters" to riot. This would have been okay in another developing country, but in our country, where we play by the rules !! and promote decency and democracy !

Gov. Patterson -

You had your 15 minutes – let it go.

It does not change the narrative or the numbers of this race.

Just like the rest of us! Obo should drop out. HILLARY'08....Take back the white house

Don't backtrack, its desperation.

The Clintons must have some FILTHY dirt on this guy – because that RFK remark last week was nothing BUT desperate!

The democratic nominee is Mrs Clinton's birth right. How could this black man take it from her. She is mad and wish him death.

Why allow 900+ comments, mostly anti-Clinton on some Ticker articles ("Clinton:Obama more likely to lose") but close other Ticker articles with much fewer comments?

Is CNN biased?

For the 10,327th time – Hillary Clinton can win the White House back for the Dems. Barack Obama would lose to Senator McCain in a general election. It is as simple as that. If the Democratic leadership wants the Oval Office, they need to make the difficult decision and select Clinton; Obama needs more time to season and prepoare himself for the office -- As for the Super Delagates – it is Clinton or it is McCain – no other options on the table.

Just how in the world could 13 GREEN BERETS be EXECUTED on their own base? What in the world is going on with our military? Are all lives expenable when it comes to our vice-president's company? The vice-president should be held accountable!!! The company that built those bases should be put down!!! Because those companies exsist only to make our vice-president richer. GREEN BERETS are our ELITE military, why is it that they should die just to make our VICE-PRESIDENT richer??? They died in a shower, because of our Vice-Presidents failure! Why should our Vice-President be given the right to make money off our soldiers deaths just because he was once the president of a company??? He should be held for those soldiers deaths just like anyone else would be held for anyone else's death!!! Why was our Vice-President given the right to make his own company the sole-provider for our soldier's habitats??? Make him pay!!! Our elected officials should not be given any other rights than the rest of us!!! MAKE HIM PAY!!! That is all I have to say.

I really can't believe Hillary Clinton OR Barack Obama want David Paterson (The blind, unelected self-admitted crackhead governor of New York) supporting their campaigns. I'm not sure why CNN is even running his comments.

It is sad to see people so divided to the point that they'd rather self-destruct (by not voting or by voting for McCain) rather than vote for the other candidate from the same party!!
People who say that Obama or Hillary can't win certain states but the other candidate can are the same people that say they'll vote for McCaine if their favorate candidate doesn't get the nomination! This will not be the case if you vote with your mind for the issues you really care about. If you want 4 more years of wars and economic slump then go ahead and vote for McCain.
Take a deep breath and think about our great nation and how your vote should be used to better our country!

Leon, Was President Carter really the worst president? What about the current president. Get a grip.
Obama is probably the smartest of the three and that
is my sole criteria for voting. Look at what a non-thinking,
non-science president has gotten us.

Obama 08'

'There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents—’ ‘Certainly,’ said Alice. ‘And only one for birthday presents....There’s glory for you!’ ‘I don’t know what you mean by “glory,”’ Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ‘Of course you don’t— till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”’ ‘But “glory” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument,”’ Alice objected. ‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’ ‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master— that’s all.’

A rule is a rule is a rule, till Humpty Dumpty says it's not.

Yeah, whatever man

The democratic nominee is Mrs Clinton birth right. How could this black man take it from. She is mad and wish him death.

All this big state, little state, caucus states, swing states, white collar, educated...blah...blah....blah!!

Here's the bottom line...Bill Clinton back in the White House is like reliving the OJ trail. Can't do it!

No more Clintons!!

Desperate or frustrated, still the better candidate.

Well....he could been honest and called her a "liar" (aka misspeaker)

Hey Deeply Concerned, Obama can absolutely win the swing states.
This idea that he won't win the states Hillary won in the primaries is rubbish. Does this also mean Hillary can't win the states Obama took in the primary? These are manipulative lies from the Clinton campaign that only ignorant people believe. Check the polls. Get the facts. Obama is very competitive in the swing states against McCain. These types of tactics where Hillary tries to spread this BS is one of the reasons that people get upset with her. Alot of the negativity towards Hillary from Obama supporters is exactly for this reason. She has shown him no respect by making remarks to superdelegates saying he can't win and by stating McCain is qualified while he is not. This makes it seem like she doesn't care if she takes the party down with her. EITHER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE WILL BEAT MCCAIN IF THEY SUPPORT EACH OTHER.

It was a poor choice of words that all the Clinton haters love................
But anyone can make a mistake just look at what Obama
said about Guns and religion with working folks in certain states.
The only one who can carry all the voters needed to win in the
general election is Hillary. Obama if nominated will go down just as
Kerry & Dukakis did with the same coalition of voters.
The states with the large electorial votes like N.Y. CA PA FL etc
he will not carry, the party will not come together around Obama
not all Democrats are liberal and some are bigots that would not
vote for a black man. The country is not yet ready and all the warning signs are there for all to see. Lets hope the superdelegates want to
take the white house back next year and read the current political climate as it is, not as they hope it would be.

David Patterson is a racist! Isn't he?

Hillary & McCain voted for the war...

http://tinyurl.com/46jxwr

End this War now…

Obama 08!!!

BREAKING NEWS-McCAIN IS GOING TO SELECT JEB BUSH AS HIS RUNNING MATE.. WHEN McCAIN DIES OF OLD AGE IN HIS FIRST YEAR IN OFFICE, WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE. ISN'T THAT GREAT NEWS.

Obama couldn't come this far without a help from the media and a chunk of Republican votes in the open primaries. And it was also the Republican that changed the date of Michigan and Florida primaries. What's going on? It's republican, republican, and more republican all over the wall.

Careful Obamanians-–if she runs as an Independent-you lose!

Can you imagine playing a soccer game for 90 minutes and see the other team ask for a 3 hours game.......
well let's play by the rules Mr and MrsClinton

FLIP FLOP.......

Seems that is all Clinton and her supporters are able to do!!

"I'll support until whatever time she makes a different determination".(until June 3rd) Patterson, you a trip.

Yes We Can,
Obama 08.

Senator Hillary Clinton need to support Senator Obama
and say this is A merica, the world look at the stupid
thing s this country do and wear us out while we wear
ourselves out we can not take care of home more
less any one else

This is getting ridiculous and extremely frustrating for those of us ready ready to crush the Republicans in November.

The more this continues, the more I know that I won't vote for Clinton, just like I can't vote of McCain. If this is how Clinton has to win the nomination, then I want no part of the Clintons again. I'll vote Libertarian.

The thought of NO MORE CLINTONS and NO MORE BUSHES would be a dream come true!!

maybe Billiary phoned and said they might start getting interested in the New York governorship

"I would say at this point we're starting to see a little desperation on the part of the woman who I support and I'll support until whatever time she makes a different determination," Paterson said then.

Patterson is clearly going to endorse Senator Obama after June 3rd.

Yes We Can.

HILLARY--THE GAME IS OVER-YOU LOST. AUCTION OFF YOUR PANTS SUITS, YOU COULD PAY OFF YOUR 20 MILLION DEBT.

I guess Bill threatened to give his hooker # to the press so he is back tracking.

Desperate, Frustated, Bewildered,.. Whatever! Im Glad She Will Finally Have No Choice But To Shut Her Blow Hole! Obama 08!

I Quess The New Requirement for running For President is;

White
White
White

Minorities Need Not Apply

America will never change, wer'e one big fraud

poor Clinton loyalist. he knows she done for! but couldn't bring himself up to admit it to her supporters. just because Obama looks weak and HRC looks strong now it dose not mean she has the better hand in the GE. i believe the delegates in MI and FL should be seated: not in the matter that favor any candidate, but in a fair way to the voters. the dream ticket propaganda is a desperate way to go for the DNC since HRC dose not bring anything Obama dose not have to the table. in fact it is highly disastrous since it seems like she have chosen the path of self distraction by attacking her team and widening the gap. it is now too late for obama too try to bring her on board or even for her to ask for the VP spot nicely. withe all the resentment and division the clintons have caused, if she some how ends up being the nominee then it is for sure Dems. will lose in nov.

I'm with Obama. Say nothing and let Hillary and John keep talking. Makes them both look more and more desparate. LOL

I have read what I believe to be some nasty comments in these blogs, so who is desperate?

Hillary Clinton has proven herself time after time to be a liar. She's one of the worst politicians to attempt to run for president in my lifetime. As far as I'm concerned she can go p!ss up a stump along with her 'loyal followers'

The comments are a DISGRACE to your candidate! Does obama approve of this – maybe that is WHY the party will NEVER come together to WIN. Guess this is the obama "type"

To the obama group – please answer this one question – I would consider voting for obama BUT -
WHY did OBAMA BLOCK RE-VOTES in FL & MI????????
This is a MAJOR problem for me – because a REVOTE would fix all these problems.

Patterson, we don't have to worry about you winning your next election.
Hillary, just won it. Better there than here.
You are just sorrowful.

GO OBAMA 08 & 12

CNN Please Post!!

Dude, if you think McCain would beat ANY democrat in CA – you have no handle on reality – then again, since you can't seem to separate a dem vs. dem race from a dem. vs. rep. race, maybe you don't have any handle on reality. Just because the spin-machine and name recognition of Clinton beat Barack in a few machine-politic states doesn't mean anything about Barack beating McSame. This is COMMON SENSE!!!! But lets go paragraph by paragraph shall we?

Pledged delegate allocation: You are right, it is a joke. It should be one person, one vote. No delegates, no electoral college, just citizens voting. BUT since that is the system we have currently deal with it. Quit comparing it to the REPUBLICAN system and whining because if we were Republicans Hillary would have the nomination. If that is how you feel – go join them!

Not taking Caucuses seriously: Hillary doesn't even consider those votes in her "I'm winning the popular vote" count. How can you claim to care about what the people want when to suit your own ends you COMPLETELY IGNORE the votes of millions upon millions of people?!?!?

Swing states: Again, if you think that Obama won't win CA and NY in his sleep against McCain, you are a total idiot! The rest of your favorite states (see, there are many swing states that he won and Hillary lost – but again, those states and those votes don't seem to matter to you or Hillary...) are VERY winnable by any democrat.

Slam Dunk: You are right, this election should be a slam dunk. We'll see how much damage Clinton does. I'm sorry – you don't confuse being shot at by snipers with listening to poetry written by an elementary school girl. She lies to suit her ends. She has no regard for how her bitten, false attacks hurt the democratic party and the nation. Pull back a second and try to see simple facts......I have faith in your ability to see the light.... I have... HOPE!!!

The bigger story – Patterson realize HRC will not win the nomination and will eventually return to NYC – tell me how uncomfortable this scenario will be for Patterson. Can you imagine running into her at events and apologizing for your comments. The Clinton's are vindictive and will wait to strike those who DARE to disagree. Poor, poor Patterson – you should of went with Obama when you had a chance. He could of found a place for you in his cabinet. Too late...... You're in the dog house now buddy.

How much did they have to threaten him? Huhhhh!!! People think please!!! Clinton is trying to push and buy her way to the nod!! I would have supported her if Obama (our generations great leader), but now will never even in 2012., 2016 etc!!!

You were right the first time.

I think "desperation" was just right.

How can these Clintonistas say that Obama won't carry Ca, Mi,NY? Facts are facts: These are DEMOCRATIC States! Democratic states vote. . .wait for it, democratic! He'll get some new swing states also like Co,NM,Wa, etc. Clinton changed the rules 1000 times and all these pukes in the DNC are too scared to say something to this monster B-I-spell the rest. Supers are also too scared to support who they want, they've had way more than enough time to make that decision. If this isn't over, and Barack isn't the nominee, we will have to bow down to $8 gallon gas, and more wars in Iran, and Nigeria. These people are kidding themselves, ALL THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS FEEL THE SAME SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT THAT CLINTON FEELS, IT MUST RUB OFF ON IGNORANCE.

CNN's only purpose for posting this was to have a negative Clinton story. Desparate, frustrated...regardless just another piece of anti-Clinton propoganda.

Dude, if you think McCain would beat ANY democrat in CA – you have no handle on reality – then again, since you can't seem to separate a dem vs. dem race from a dem. vs. rep. race, maybe you don't have any handle on reality. Just because the spin-machine and name recognition of Clinton beat Barack in a few machine-politic states doesn't mean anything about Barack beating McSame. This is COMMON SENSE!!!! But lets go paragraph by paragraph shall we?

Pledged delegate allocation: You are right, it is a joke. It should be one person, one vote. No delegates, no electoral college, just citizens voting. BUT since that is the system we have currently deal with it. Quit comparing it to the REPUBLICAN system and whining because if we were Republicans Hillary would have the nomination. If that is how you feel – go join them!

Not taking Caucuses seriously: Hillary doesn't even consider those votes in her "I'm winning the popular vote" count. How can you claim to care about what the people want when to suit your own ends you COMPLETELY IGNORE the votes of millions upon millions of people?!?!?

Swing states: Again, if you think that Obama won't win CA and NY in his sleep against McCain, you are a total idiot! The rest of your favorite states (see, there are many swing states that he won and Hillary lost – but again, those states and those votes don't seem to matter to you or Hillary...) are VERY winnable by any democrat.

Slam Dunk: You are right, this election should be a slam dunk. We'll see how much damage Clinton does. I'm sorry – you don't confuse being shot at by snipers with listening to poetry written by an elementary school girl. She lies to suit her ends. She has no regard for how her bitten, false attacks hurt the democratic party and the nation. Pull back a second and try to see simple facts......I have faith in your ability to see the light.... I have... HOPE!!!

Hillary could care less about the American people......all she cares about is Hillary. The only reason she is pushing for the votes to count in Florida and Michigan is because she doesn't want to lose, NOT because she cares about the voters in those 2 respective states. Now she and Bill are playing the feel sorry for me game.....it is a cover up, it's because she's a woman....NO it's because she is very good at stretching the truth, see all those years of experience, i guess being a first lady and governors wife means that you are the most experienced candidate in politics. Whatever.

Why does Hillary have such trouble winning over educated voters? Is it that...the smarter you are, the more you see her for what she really is?

What is even more pathetic than hrc herself are some of her supporters, who are drumming up support to vote for McCain since their precious leader won't be the nominee.

Yeah that is really smart hrc robots – vote for McCain to continue destroying our economy, our global credibility, and continue getting our troops killed in an endless war just out of spite. How irrational.

Obama 08 and 12

Horsepucky Deeply Concerned in NH!!! Just because Clinton won those states does not indicate that Obama cannot in the fall.

Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, and Florida are all winnable (I'm not going to count Ohio twice as you did) for Obama.

In fact I'd say all but Florida due to Clinton's misinformation campaign and Pennsylvania for demographic issues are locks. Heck, I think with a good ground game he can win my state of Kentucky (if Lexington and Louisville play the role of anchor well enough).

I can't believe you even throw NY and CA into your post. Do you really believe that Obama cannot carry those states? Surely, you do not believe McCain has a remote shot in either state?

HRC should be booted from the party for the damage she has attempted to do to the party in Michigan and Florida in an effort to hijack the nomination.

Of course she wants the rules changed now though she agreed to the punishment of Florida and Michigan early on. She must be shocked that all Americans aren't in love with her. Get over yourself lady!

Obama has played by the rules and is winning fair and square. If we, the white power structure, change the rules now, we are guilty of extending Jim Crow into the 21st century!

Midwesterners tend to make great presidents. Perhaps it's time for another one.

hillary "THE GREATEST REPUBLICAN EVER"clinton NEVER SEEMS TO AMAZE ME WITH THESE "SHOCK AND AWE "CAMPAIGN TACTICS

I find this primary to be very odd. The spokespersons keep denying my reality. Hillary is not desperate, although she has tried every trick in the book to derail Obama. Bill Clinton claims Hillary is being picked on, while she has gone very negative in her campaign. It seems reality and truth are being suspended for the "spin". The problem is that I remember Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley. A lot less "opinion", a lot more reporting, and above all, integrity.

Sen. Hillary Pathetic Clinton. She Never Reads The Fine Print.
Cry Baby Hillary, Kicks and Screams until she gets her way.

I would wonder if Obama was in Hillary's shoes wouldn't he be doing the same. Of course, what do you think he is doing now. He is not fit to be the Presidsent of the US, face it Obama people, you can't that is why you are so mean and angry. So if he does make it I can't wait to hear everyone crying that he is such a terrible Presiden. For one I will not vote for him under any condition. I love my country too much to vote for him.

The right words would be Hillary clinton is frustrated and Desperate

hope the d n c is ready for a riot if they give this to hillary and company this will be the end of the dem. party . dont understand
how the rules can get changed in the last quater.

If Hillary was winning FL and MI this wouldn't be an issue plus all of this lame talk about the DNC process wouldn't even be mentioned but now that she is losing she claims that fl and mi will be disenfranchised, even when she said early on "OH WELL", no FL and MI in the mix and then her supporters are saying O'Bama can't win the key states ( you wanna know why ) It's Racism, nothing to do with his qualifications because Hillary herself said first he was qualified then when she started losing she said he wasn't, Geez People will believe anything ( Hmm Bush comes to mind ) .

WE DESERVE WHAT WE GOT THE LAST 8 YEARS AND IT WILL CONTINUE BECAUSE MOST OF THE USA IS BIAS.

Call it Frustrated call it Desperation. You still lose.

Here's the solution to Florida and Michigan.. Florida seats "as is", Michigan seats as is... but all the votes which came in under "other" should be allocated to Obama... since he was the only top tier candidate not on the ballot. That would give Hillary a win in both states... and Obama would still be up by over 150 delegates.. and leaves her nothing to else to cry about.

Oh wait... next she'll cry that it's not fair to give him the "other" vote because it technically wasn't his name they voted for. No matter what happens.. she's always going to cry foul... but it's ok to change rules you agreed to throughout the whole campaign.

IF SHE'S THIS DOG GONE CRAZY. WHAT WOULD SHE DO IF SHE GOT A 3:00 am phone call? FREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What if Hillary got the nomination (just joking folks) you think she'd ask Obama to be her running mate? I DON'T THINK SO!! She made that offer once, remember, (because she probably doesn't) this was before she was losing....he isn't running for vp he's running for president. She is so full of herself that it is gagging me and the rest of America. I cried a riveeeeeeeeeeeeeer for youuuuuu, Billary

Phew!! is Hillary still in the race? and against who?. Hillary just take James Carville, Ferraro and all your surrogates back to New York. Politics of the past wont work this time! . Please leave your legacy intact otherwise people will remember you as the old witherd and bitter woman who kept on shifting goal post to satisfy her power maniac ego!!

Gov peterson,what really happened to you,hey you can be honest to me,did hawk carville called you blind judas huu?.

I am sure he got a call from Billary . I guess Rendell will have to recant his comments too.

Everyone can see this, everyone but Hillary and Bill. Even though I am an OBAMA supporter, In the beginning I was okay with Hillary as the nominee. Her negative, destructive and pandering campaigne has been a disgrace, not just for women but for Democrats. I cannot see how she could be OBAMA`s VP now?

I am trying not to be negative and have no problem with her supporter, but she is being so disengenuous and dishonest with her supporters by giving them hope and fuzzy math and saying every vote should count when she didn`t care about MI and FL until she was losing and is perfectly willing to disenfranchise those voters that stayed home because they were told their votes would not count and now saying caucus votes should not count either. These are the rules, it was good enough to elect her husband twice!

OBAMA 08

I bet the Clinton's bullied him and he got a 3 a.m. call from Hillary. She is desparate, even a blind man can see that.

Help me understand-

1) Florida and Michigan held invalid primaries.
2) Both Obama and Clinton understood and singed on to the rules for the primaries.
3) Obama was not on the Michigan ballot.
4) Obama did not campaign in Florida
5) The set number by the DNC for the nomination is 2,026.

And the meeting in Washington this week is to answer? Come on even my son knows the answer to this one.

Sorry – Michigan and Florida your DNC leaders led you down the wrong path. Do not blame it on Obama or Dean. Put the blame on your own state DNC leaders who made the primary date decision.

If the decision that comes out of the DNC meeting in Washington in any way damages Obama's chances of being our nominee then our party deserves a lesson. The lesson just may come in the form of defeat in November.

Be careful DNC leaders meeting in Washington!!!

Is this primary being held in Africa or the in the great United States of America?

Paterson wants Clinton to be President so she can't run for Governor of NY. He is another fantasy land dweller. This race has been over since the first week in March. It has been kept alive by cable news stations and certain mathematically challenged individuals.

fine, let her have the FL delegates. Obama still easily wins in pledged and unpledged delegates.

I totally agree with DEEPLY CONCERNED NH . Even some white, Hispanics or black Democrats will not vote for Obama. People wake up, be realistic.

She is a crazy woman. No wonder men don't want us to hold high political positions. TOO DOG GONE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has been right two times: she is frustrated and desparate.
Frustrated because she can not in any way move enough voters her way.
Desparate because she tries any and every trick to fulfil her personal desire (against that of the people and against that of the very rules she supported herself, when she still thought she didn't need Michigan and Florida at all).
An ostrich can better count its feathers with its head down in the sand, than Hillary can count the results with her head in the air or in the sand, (refusing to face the valid results).
Like Bush misled us into the war (with Clinton's support), Clinton tries to mislead us in counting and in pretending she would be the better president.
Please draw your conclusions, like most of us have already done.
OBAMA 08 / 12 !!!!

deeply concer NH, believe your state is completely racist, if you look at the numbers before he won Iowa he had a larger lead there, but after that you guys got scared and didn't wanna get on the obama express............shime on your tiny lil town

Nah. You got it right the first time. She's desperate.

What is it with Hillary saying she will lead in "primary" won delegates? Sounds like she wants to disenfranchise Iowans like myself and citizens of other states who use the caucus system to select our nominee!!! Oh yeah...by the way, let's seat Florida and Michigan (despite supporting their intial ban from the primary process) when she has won those states in a non-competitive contest. I have NEVER seen someone attempt to change the rules of a straightforward competitiion more than Hillary Clinton (that includes when I was 9 and the kids at recess would try to win at kickball by cheating). I sure don't want a President with that kind of moral "laxity."

She is naturally frustrated in her desperation. Recall, Texas early voting process displayed Obama winning, the Clinton's were requesting recount and legal support. The Clinton's displays desperation and untrusting demeanors. Senator Clinton’s frustrated acts of desperation are desperately clear.

Govenor Patterson,

You said it right the first time. DESPERATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I wonder what Clintocks have on him, Oh well either way the man is spineless.

Please remember what really matters from this election. We want a president that will end the illegal war in Iraq and get our solders back home safely. A president that will fix the economic turmoil, reduce our reliance on oil, improve our educational system, and fix the broken health insurance system. These are the issues we need to worry about. McCain will not do any of these things!!! Either Hillary or Obama is our hope to get our country back from the corporate-controlled white house and the lobby-controlled congress. People who say Obama or McCain, or say Hillary or McCain are driven by emotions and not by reason. You vote will determine what happen to our great country for the next 4 years. Please think hard and use it wisely!

God Bless you all!

I guess Paterson should know something about being desparate, he is a "cheater"!! Look at the facts, she is very much desparate. One minute she's crying like a baby and the next she's letting the "ma" come out, which is it to be? Her role reversal doesnt' work for me.

I am from NY. This makes me wonder about him. Typical flip-flopper. Says one thing than says another. Same old politics!!

She wasn't frustrated about MI and FL until she fell behind in the primary. Give me a break.

its funny dude. you are rigth on the ball keep it up! "Oops! Governor Patterson got a 3:00 AM call from the Clinton's I see!

The media has been very quiet on Hillary lately. Beware Obama supporters. The DNC is meeting on Saturday, and there are those who would be very happy to call her "the comeback kid" again. Everything is just too QUIET'. It doesn't feel right to me.

She's not frustrated nor desperate. She's totally insane and menopausal.

The more I tinker with this Fla-Mich conundrum, the more I wonder if the DNC hierarchy considered all the possible consequencies of penalizing those states. What a mess ! ! ! !

Patterson said " a little desperation"=frustration=feeling hopless=ready to run at any risk . Sounds unstable, doesn't it ?

The DNC will probably seat half the delegates and gave Florida as is and come up with some formula that by June 3 will put Obama about 40 – 50 short of the new total with Hillary wining PR and Obama wining SD and Montana. This does not take into account any SD moving to his side before this date. I think after the resolution is made public, Obama camp will release some more endorsements to cut into the 40 or 50 shortfall, by June 3, he should have enough SD to reach the new target.

Hillary new clain then will probably be that she is married to Bill and as his wife she is entitled to half of anthing of his. Therefore, she is entitled to half of his 1992 delegates

I cant help but wonder what example Clinton is setting for young girls today by her actions. It is one thing to be determined, it is another to blantantly cheat to get your way. Just because it works doesnt make it right.

See, even Paterson knows that Hill Baby is not a desperate housewife but a frustrated one....and who wouldn't be, a woman of her stature and all....

Oh you never can tell. Hillary is probably frustrated and desperate enough that she will try to steal the NY governorship from him. Going back to the Senate as a party pariah- especially if she continues to try to bring Obama down with her faulty and increasingly desperate logic- will not suit thejunior senator from NY. Her aspirations were higher than that. I would watch my back Gov. Paterson.

I THINK THE DNC NEED TO CHANGE THE WAY THEY SELECT THE NOMINEE PROCESS.

1. THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE CAUCUS AND HAVE A PRIMARY SO EVERYBODY CAN VOTE BY THE MAIL OR BY THE POLLING PLACE.
2. THEY NEED TO GET RID OF SUPERDELEGATE AND LET THE VOTER HAVE THE FINAL SAY,WHO IS SHOULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
3. THEY NEED TO BOUNDLE UP THE PRIMARY LET SAY 10 STATES FOR EACH CONTEST FOR 5 MONTH PERIOD, SO WE DON'T HAVE 1 OR 2 PRIMARY AT 2000 MILES APART AND EACH CANDIDATE CAN SAVE TIME AND MONEY AT THE SAME TIME.
4. THEY NEED TO GIVE A WINNER AT LEAST 65% OF THE DELEGATE,SO WE DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MESS THAT WE'RE HAVING RIGHTNOW.

If you want a democrat as our next president, stop all this back and forth between the Obama camp and the Clinton camp it only benefits the GOP!
Why do you argue between each other? you know some of these people commenting on here are republicans engaging in Operation Chaos style attacks hoping to divide and conquer our party! and some of you are dumb enough to fall for it and yell back at the opposing camp. The domocrats can crush the GOP, but ONLY and ONLY if we ALL UNITE BEHIND the NOMINEE! no matter who it is! Anyone who would vote republican because Obama or Clinton is the Nominee is only voting for a canidate and not the issues they stand for! if so you are not a democrat!

Govn Paterson...we know how it is with you. WE KNOW ... FUSTRATION...DESPERATION...DELUSIONAL...DECIET ...DISHONESTY...WE KNOW. AND SHE JUST WON'T LISTEN.
COLOUR ME BAD...HILLARY NEED TO GO AWAY...JUST FADE OUT.
DEMOCRATS 08'
OBAMA 08'

WE SHOULD VOTE FOR THE PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTY AND NOT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL NO MATTER WHAT PARTY WE ARE AFFILIATED WITH. IF THE PARTY DECIDES TODAY THAT NONE OF THESE TWO CANDIDATES WILL REPRESENT THE PARTY'S POLICIES, I WILL STILL VOTE FOR THE POLICY.NOW IF THE REPUBLICANS DECIDE TO RUN ON THAT POLICY AND THE DEMOCRATS PICK UP THE POLICY THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOW, THEN I WILL VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.GUYS PLEASE WAKE UP. THIS IS NOT ABOUT OBAMA OR CLINTON OR McCAIN, AMERICA IS IN TROUBLE AND WE WANT A WAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be frustrated too if I was most qualifited for the job and being beaten by rhetoric and baseless promises...

If we can't have choice number one...move on to choice number two...McCain '08!!!

(and it's not just out of spite...I truly don't feel that we can risk putting the problems of this nation into the hands of someone with so little experience. McBush or not (even though McCain is the polar opposite of Bush)...we need someone who knows what they're doing)

(and I loved Obama's little Auschwitz-Bosnia comment yesterday...karma)

i Guess every body on Clinton team is washy washy. you guys are all the same cheep politicians.

Paterson was right the first time: desperate. Hillary and team will use any means to win the nomination. It's very sad, because I'd like to see a female president, but she has to be the right president. Hillary will do and say anything to get elected, just like her husband. It's time to end the Bush/Clinton dynasties. Hillary completely missed the theme that America wants a change in Washington. Early on, her campaign was a disaster. I seriously doubt she has the managerial skills she claims she has (on Day 1).

Obama deserves to win the nomination.

Is she desperate about her frustration or frustrated by her desperation?

That one person can so constructively control an entire national committee to the point where its constituents are fighting against one another, is absolutely amazing and pitiful.

It is amusing that Bill complains about press treatment.The media gave Hillary three months of all day advertisementbefore the primiaries and all day coverage, and did not mention her human rights crime against Barry Titusor her theft of his book, or the existence of Suzan Cooper Goldberg, factotum and therapist, or mention whether Chelsea had a job or not.They obstructed justice for her, and Bill wants to cry foul.

Honestly I think she was desperate before she got frustrated.

Wow, I wonder how many calls Hillary and Bill put in to this guy, what threats they laid down, and what cabinet positions they promised.

She is a crook. May this be the end of her political career.

That must have been a very unpleasant 3am call.

Hillary, go home and take a rest – you're tired. We have heard enough from you, your husband and your daughter. Retire those pantsuits, catch your breath and relax. GOODBYE.

Where is all this "Obama can't win" crap coming from? I recall one of the many debates when HRC wasasked direclty if Obama could beat John McCain, and her response was an emphatic "YES, YES, YES!"

I guess she was lying about that too. Oh, and what about her pledge to "work hard" for the Democratic nominee? I guess she was lying about that too.

This is absolutely sickening...HRC is absolutely sickening. And all of her supporters are like sheep walking to slaughter. WAKE UP people! Hillary does not give a crap about you, nor the Democratic party, nor the country. It is, and has always been all about her.

under the present rules even if obama cant win the general he won the primary fair and square. If the super delegates take it from him hillary will not win beauseat least 75% of the black vote will stay at home. So go ahead rules committe fix it were hillary wins the primary and see if any democract can win the general without the most loyal block of the part y participating. (HISTORY) shows us that this is an accurate statement.

Obama has ZERO chance of carrying California, New York, Pennsylvannia? Are you kidding? Those states are blue states and will always be. Ohio and Florida will be a challenge for Obama or Hillary.

Why flip-flop.... you were correct the first time... desperate is understament.... pathetic is the description... She is becoming pathetic!!!!!!

Dearest:
" Deeply Concerned in NH","leon","NEVERNEVEROBAMA"......etc....
Read these:
1.Obama will be our next President
2. Iraq war will end in the year 2010
3.The World will respect USA .
4.Our Dollar will up again........

Viva Obama 08.....And yes 2012!!!

Frustrated, desperate, I don't care! Just disappear!

The Hillary camp vocabularly has been SO helpful in our household!

If my husband or I say something that the other person doesn't like we now just claim that we "mis-spoke" or we were "inartful." When we "apologize" we're sure to say "IF I offended you, I regret it."

Invariably, the other person starts to laugh 'cause ALL of this campaign-speak is so stupid.

btw, Hillary IS desperate.

Hey, all you poor southern whites!!! The north fought the south to abolish slavery. Most poor white dirt famers (your ancestors) were worse off than the slaves. What were they fighting for? And what are you trying to hold onto? Something you should of let go of a long time ago.

I guarantee Good ole Bill called the new Governor and make him retract. Or maybe it was someone like Lanny Davis, Harold Ickes or the Senator of NY herself, Hillary Clinton. Whoever it was probably made him feel bad that he called it like it is.

It will all be over soon enough (I hope) - this is a nightmare. When will she go away!....

The DNC are to blame for handing down a very draconian punishment to Florida and Michigan. Unfortunately, Clinton is pouring salt onto open wound by demanding that the invalidated votes be counted. This isn't fair because alot of Floridian Democrats like myself didn't vote "because it was going to count". What she should be doing is pushing for a RE-VOTE, which would be fair and more democratic. However, she is not trying to do this, instead and she's take the FL/MI counts they as they currently stand so it would tip the election immediately in her favor. This is extremely sly and can only be seen as an act of desperation, which I find is very despicable because she's only putting own herself interests first instead of a more fair election for FL/MI Democrats.

Bill and Hill need to sing that old country song "The party's over– it's time to call it a day".

She will continue to make a great senator from NY.

It is clear that the majority of the dems do not want her as president. It is getting harder and harder to respect both of them. Florida and Michigan are too flawed to seat anyone from their so called "elections".

Here's the thing: HC and ALL of her people in the DNC rules committee voted for the FL and MI penalty. They all said it was fair. Then, they pledged to not campaign in FL and agreed that none of the candidates should appear on the MI ballot. NOW...

Also, how can they claim that counting MI and FL is the only fair and equitable solution, if Obama supporters were unable to vote for their candidate in MI simply because their candidate played by the rules. Similarly he kept his word to not campaign in FL. In addition, young voters, unlike old folks, don't go and vote when they are told the election means nothing (cause they have jobs and bills and lives), so the FL votes does not truley represent the people of FL. How then can HC claim she has all the equities? Oh yeah, desperation....

Stay in until aug. the difference is this guy has not been bought and paid for like the rest of them. check it out obama bought them Hillary go girl stay the course until people see the truth,the poster boy will fail.hw will lose in nov.

BILLARY IS FRUSTRATED...DESPERATE...AND NUTS !!!!!!

Obama won fair and square. He didn't make the rules, he just played by them. He's a testament in determination. If anyone should be playing the Rocky theme it should be him. Actually, Rocky had an easier path then Obama. Who would have thunk it? I was ready to vote for Clinton after voting twice for Bill but Obama captured my imagination. The little train that could. Sen Clinton has no one to blame but herself. She had this in the bag but like most favorites, she started to believe the press that she was the nominee in waiting. All the while Obama just kept racking up victories. Obama deserves alot of credit for what he's accomplished, even if he didn't win the nomination. No one who believes in fair competition can begrudge Obama the nomination. And fair competition is the American Way.

NO EXPERIENCE-NO BACKBONE-NO OBAMA

Just say no the the man full of hype with no substance. Look past his words and look at the issues. He is coke snorting, teleprompt reading change his mind on the issues fool.

Hillary we support you all the way.

Is the Governor a little desperate or frustrated or both?

John McCain does not need to tell Obama where to go or how to campaign . Mc Cain should have his hands full taking care of his own business. The latest news about Scott McClennan book makes McCain part of the problem sourounding the Iraq war . It does not make McCain look too good being part of this mess or even having fund raisers behind cloosed doors with the president . Cindy McCain hates the president but did a photo opt kiss with him at the fund raiser.

Like a whining brat that won't go away. She was beaten by an unknown senator with no name recognition. If she cannot beat him how does she expect to win the general election? By singling out a few states them she says you must win how that make the other 40 states feel a little disenfranchised. The govenor better be watching his back when she gets back in town.

Go Obama / Edwards 08

It appears that Patterson is not a man of his words. I am disappointed that he could not stand his ground in the face of an obvious truth! Hillary is dangerously desperate, and needs to be rescued before she ruins the democratic party and her political career. Presently, I cannot trust her words or remarks – she reminds me of her husbands remarks (while wagging his finger) : " I did not have anything to do with that woman (lewinsky)", most people believed him until the DNA studies proved him wrong. The Clintons are pathological liers, it is very difficult for most people to see their deceit, hence they are able to drive people around their agenda. I am not suprised that even Patterson is now one of their prey! But they cannot deceive the entire DNC nor the rules committe! I believe that America has more clever people than the the Clintons!

I can't be the only one who realizes this entire debacle is tantamount to the manure that comes out of bulls. There is no Florida-Michigan delegate controversy. There are no disenfranchised votres. There is only the rules the DNC set out, Hillary agreed to, and Florida and Michigan violated. Period. Anything beyond that is moving the goal-posts... in the fourth quarter... after the losing team decided that you're allowed to use your hands if you're playing soccer in America.

LOL... I can think of LOTS of adjectives and adverbs to describe Clinton besides 'frustrated'.

She simply can't keep changing the laws of politics, mathematics, and even common sense. She can't manage her husband or her campaign, so we should elect her to manage our country – WHY?

Bow out and try again next time. Your only current value Hillary is entertainment.

Hillary is desperate and clinging to her campaign. Hillary will be a has been Presidential candidate with no hope of ever again being a contender. She belongs in the pile of ex-candidates and the sooner she leaves to take her rightful place there, the better off we'll all be. Desperate is not pretty on a woman.

To deeply concerned in NH:

Obama cannot win NY??? Are you one of those people that think because Hillary won NY in the primary, Obama cannot in the general election. That is idiotic.

He will NY and MA. PA would be a slam dunk if he picked the right VP. McCain has serious problems in Ohio, worse than Obama. McCain for that matter has just as big problems in CA and FL.

You cannot compare the GE to the primary.

Also, keep in mind Bill Clinton was getting trounced by George Bush, prior to the general election starting. To jump to conclusions only shows your bias towards a losing candidate, Hillary.

He had it correct the first time...She's desperate as h%&l.

Clinton is a manipulative lawyer/politician who has crossed the boundaries of civility time an time again.

At one point I would have agreed that she should be considered for VP, but no longer. She has gone to far.

That is truly unfortunate for the women's rights movement. But in the long run, it serves them to repudiate these kinds of tactics.

HANG IN THERE HILLARY!!!

To Leon-I disagree that Jimmy Carter is the worst president we've had. He'd have to go a long way to be worst than the Bushes. Funny, how Mr. Carter seems to be the only prior, living president who has not become a multi-millionaire since leaving office and has done so much good with Habitat for Humanity. Get real.

poor paterson,, hes been ****whipped by hillary,, hahaha,,, yes she desperate and she and her husband will do like they did before,, anything illegal or not, to get what they want,,, i'd rather have my cat be president than her,,, hillary give it up,,, You give a bad name to women,,, shhhhhhhhh-up,,,GO OBAMA!!!!!!

No, no, Governor, you were right the first time.

She's desperate.

Brian from Knoxville,
It's true the selection process is not perfect. But what is at issue is that Hillary's revelation about the imperfection of our system came after she started losing. The intelligent and experienced person that she is, you would have thought she would've scrutinized the system not today, but even before Clinton run for president in 1991. She didn't, and now it's too late to want the system changed pronto to accommodate her.

Um yeah whatever! Why is this relevant?

I think Peterson is hiding something and that the Clintons are blackmailing him.

Frustration and desperation are not synonymous. It's hard to believe that he meant frustration instead of desperation. She is desperate and frustrated! Desperate to win the Presidency so she could pay off her debt. Frustrated that even though she's doing every dirty tactic, it's just not working for her anymore.

Too bad dirty politics is the only way Queen Hillary knows how to win.

3:00am, 3 June 08 – situation following Democratic Rules Committee decision on Florida and Michigan

DNC Operator puts Howard Dean in touch with Mrs. Clinton

Ring.. Ring..
Howard Dean: Mrs. Clinton?

Mrs. Clinton: Yes

Howard Dean: Mrs. Clinton, we, ahh, have a situation?

Mrs. Clinton: Yes

Howard Dean: Mrs. Clinton, we have decided to allow a for revote in Florida and Michigan.

Mrs. Clinton: What? You've got to be kidding me! Why?

Howard Dean: (Dean mimics his very loud and weird outburst that he did during his Presidential run) Yeeeehaaaa! Look we know that Obama can beat McBush and although you are electable, you look old and tired. Besides your broke and you're dividing the Party. So we'll give you two weeks to campaign in Florida and Michigan. Then we want you to drop out and endorse Obama.

Mrs. Clinton: That's not going to happen!

Howard Dean: Okay Mrs. Clinton, I know your tough, however I need to be frank with you, President Bush has a better chance of beating McCain than you do!

Mrs. Clinton: You know, you're right, being Vice President isn't so bad after all.

Oh, she's desperate alright.......as desperate as Obama is full of BS. Now that's something!!

Everyone knows that Paterson received a call from Hillary threatning to run against him for Governor when his initial term is up so now he is back peddling. Too late...the damage has been done! It's unanimous...Hillary is desparate. Careful David...she is vindictive too. Her seat in the Senate is all but gone when her term is up and she is coming for your job. Don't believe the hype!

This is what I find funny. How many Obama supporters say " The DNC is my party"? I bet if you take a look at the 25 or so people who say this over and over, they would have a combined 22.61 years of loyalty to the DNC. When you take away the one real DEM in the 25 the number goes down to about 17. The average Obama supporter has less than 9 months of "party loyalty". You are at the wrong party. You wanted the kegger down the hall. Rumor has it "plastic Jesus" is telling the concentration camp story again.

If all those loyal, life-long Democrats who cry,"OBAMA CANNOT WIN THE ELECTION!," simply voted for him, he'd win the election.

Roger I mean Governor Patterson sounds like you misspoke don't be an Uncle Tom all the educated white people don't respect it& neither do us Afro-Americans guys like you dont' hinder but only encourage uneducated folks to think what they think of us thanks for adding to that dynamic I hate to call a blind man a coward but that was cowardly of you stand by your convictions I know you allegedly& historically are& should be an inspiration to the qoute on qoute the good ole negroes of the USA but not being able to express your true opinions& back tracking for Hillary is why uneducated folks feel we're inferior, puppets,etc. the embodiment of manhood for all Afro Americans (Malcolm X) is turning over in his grave Governor you are capable of accessing situations for what they are like any other public official kind of like the word lynch is sensitive to us Afro Americans so is our so called Afro American leaders acting like they're dumb to appease the status quo which will all believe black or white (& educated) was BLASPHEMY!!!

We are really sorry We made our mind If Hillary is not the nominee We won’t vote for Obama
We are not buying what Democratic party selling
We are not buying what Mainstream media selling
We know what is going on
Hillary 08

Interesting that since the beginning of March more democratys have voted for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. 6.5m for Clinton and 6m for Obama. This holds for each month with more votes for Clinton than obama in March, April and May. In terms of popular vote is the momentum clearly with Clinton? is this something the superdelegates will take into account when considering who to endorse?

Brother man's smart...he dealing with HillBillie's

This guy want's to cover his butt...she'll want his job next! Brother needs to stay cool and calm and let the craze lady play all her cards...

Gender etc...BS etc....this is the end ...they need to consider day jobs

Go Obama 08

You said it right the first time....Bill must have called and told to retract your true statement.

I will NOT trust a president candidate who break the rule!
If she break the primary rules, then she leads to break her promises of her issues ! Be ware!!

I'm sorry the word is "Obsession"

Nice try.

She's desperate and obviously contacted you to "correct" yourself.

Wow, i can sense something, Paterson is trying to protect his sit. If not, he will encounter a fierce contest against Hillary for N.Y governorship.

ok for all of those who still have hope in the great hillary hype...why is john mccain not focusing his attention on her, but instead everything is aimed at obama? i hear people speaking about, and they're very pissed off about it, obama walking around as if he's already gotten the nomination, yet john mccain and the other republicans alike have already began their general election stomp against him? obama is doing what he's supposed to do by preparing for the general election, why isn't hillary? obama has said and has always said that hillary should keep going until the dnc says otherwise. to be honest i feel like hillary already knows that her campaign is dead in the water, nobody's listening to her (and it's not a sex thing either) and that at this point she's become an afterthought...a very distant afterthought. that's what happens when we fall asleep on the job...and u all say u want her to get the calls at 3am. sheesh she cant answer calls at 3pm

Wow, the reach of this woman is mind-boggling. The Clintons have blacklisted and defamed so many people who have gone against their way of thinking. I'm inclined to believe that all of the superdelegates are supporting Obama but are so deathly afraid of the wrath that is Clinton that their lips are sealed until the coast is clear.

It's like Obama is defeating Grendel or something.

If the dems blow this thing in November, and we get 4 more years of a Republican administration, I will be sick. This should have been a SLAM-DUNK for the dems…it should not have even been CLOSE…not after the 8 years we have had to endure of Mr Bush…

RE: Try telling this to Clintonistas... they seem to be thinking for themselved and not the party. Clinton is a Democrat just like Obama. They virtually have the same policies, the only difference is their intergrity, charisma, and honesty. I don't know why they would vote for someone who represents the exact opposite of Clinton-- Clintonistas, would you vote for INSANE MCCAIN if Clinton was the nominee?? Why not? Oh, because Clinton represents the values and policies you embrace?? Oh, wait, Obama does too... does that mean you would stab your own values and policies simply because you cannot take a loss?? You're pathetic.

Run Obama run
Run Obama run
Run Obama run ...right out of town on a rail.

Go get 'em Hillary
And at your inauguration, have as your thme song,
The Impossible Dream..."to dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe"
YOU CAN DO THIS HILLARY YOU HAVE AN ARMY BEHIND YOU

STOP TRYING TO APPEASE SOMEONE WHO ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT, EVEN APART FROM THE SHEER MATH.

What is pathetic is Obama fans constantly whining about Senator Clinton. What are you all afraid of? Why shouldn't she continue with the campaign. You Obama fans love to talk about the rules, well the rules state 2025 wins the nomination. Senator Obama does not have that as of yet so playing by the RULES, he hasn't won anything. End of story. Get a grip and let it play out.

she is and has been desperate for weeks!

to the Obama camp: do NOT underestimate what she, Bill & their surrogates are capable of!!!

they will do EVERYTHING in their considerable power to steal this nomination from the candidate who's won the most delegates. it's going to be a long and bloody fight AT LEAST until the final gavel at the convention and possibly beyond if there's any truth to this running as an independent talk. DO NOT take anything her camp says in negotiations as being in good faith! this is an intelligent, highly disciplined (I'll give her that) arrogant narcissist who thinks the oval office is her birthright and will not hesitate to burn the village. the worst is yet to come – HANG IN THERE AND WIN THIS THING!!!

LOL @ Johnny

She's also delusional, destructive, divisive, and polarizing.

Just think Gov ... you cudda had a V8 and skipped eatin this turkey.

Extinct: You're a genius. That's the perfect solution. Hillary practices old politics and Barack brings fresh and new ideas to the democratic party. Have you noticed how Hillary would fit right in w/the Republicans - she's in denial, can't admit she's wrong, won't "step down" even though the country wants her to, won't listen to anyone who doesn't agree with her ideology, etc. I think she could beat McCain. Maybe you should suggest that the topic should be up for discussion at the DNC meeting on Saturday. Go Barack!!

I hate Hillary supporters – they're close minded evil people! You don't open yourself up to other points of view, your more interested in hearing about how she worked through college and law school and how she gets emotional about her daughter talking a walk with her!

I'm so sick of it – cleary this gov' in NY got an ear bashing from the Clintons and is now backtracking – get over it – shut up and stop killing the DNC -

Patterson didn't want to be accused of being sexist. And he's too blind to notice when people are being racist toward him.:)

Okay and I'm pissed. What's the difference.

Brian Knoxville, TN May 28th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Hillary has way too many loyal supporters–millions–to be desparate.

The Democratic Party's primary and caucus process is frustrating, and totally ridiculous judging from the disconnect between what's happening within our Party versus what will happen in Nov. if we end up with Barack Obama as the nominee.

The whole point of going through this nomination exercise is to determine who can win a general election in the Electoral College in November, not shoot ourselves in both feet by strapping ourselves to a weak candidate with no experience and no resume like Barack Obama. Isn't that what the superdelegates were given power for? Show some leadership and endorse Hillary Clinton.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

The whole point is not to determine who can win a general election in the Electoral College in November. It is about who has the most delgeates. I'm sorry but it seems like you guys all way want to change the rules. In Nov. if she lose the Electoral College vote and win the pop vote I guess the argument will be that not fair. Play by the rules if you do not like the current rules then someone must change the rules before the game starts. This make sense to me. My 8 year old understands the truth she might not tell the truth but she understand. I know you adults understand the truth.

Now that is funny. Not only Hillary but her supporters are flip-flopping.

Hillary is being pathetic, but the government of this country is even more pathetic to allow this charade. When will this country get it's act together and be able to have a normal, honest, patriotic election??? To have gone through the crap that Obama has had to endure and nw this......there is no doubt in my mind that he wants this presidency more than anything. And for the right reasons. To correct these very thi ngs. Hillary on the other hand is in it for the Clinton Legacy. i would love nothing more than to see a woman become president, just not this woman. Do the country a favor and step down now so we can get to taking down McBush.

yea whatever, he had it right the first time........she's desperate!!!

He's right. Hillary has gotten more votes and will get more votes.

It must be a vast right wing conspiracy that's prevented Hillary from getting the Democratic nomination. Or the number of votes she's gotten; one or the other. For those Hillary supporters arguing that Michigan and Florida should be seated, ask yourself whether Hillary would be arguing this point if she were leading in delegates and Barack Obama would get most of the delegates from those states? Hillary has proven over the last few weeks that she's not fit to be President of the United States.

Yes, I prefer Carter over a second BUSH term.. which is what you Clintonistas would like.

No, Bush is the worst. Nobody can top his record lows in our nation's history, sorry, where have you been these last 8 years?

You don't surprise me, Clintonistas, you prefer self-ambition over your own party... just like the typical political panderist you support.

New York is going to be an interesting place at the midterm elections.

Its almost funny to imagine that Carter probably received a phone call to recant and he might have even been prodded quite a bit to do so and he just refused and put the phone down. In spite of Mr. Carter's firmness not to recant, I can just imagine what THE GOVENOR of the great state of New York must have felt like when they asked him to have a public recantation of his earlier comments. To some extent its like he seems not totally powerful in his position as govenor. Ultimately, he probably feels that his earlier comments were on balance, correct, but may feel that as he has only recently become govenor, plus the fact that he has already come out with his own family trash, and may have more skeletons in some closet for someone to dig up on him that he ought back down now since it really isn't costing him anything; it's not really his fight.....he's thinking, "go ahead and appease these people so we can go on."

Hillary you are saying that every vote should count yet in your funky math you are not counting the votes of the folks in caucus states. Shameful, absolutely shameful.

Someone got an "uncomfortable" call from the Clintons I see

Dude, if you think McCain would beat ANY democrat in CA – you have no handle on reality – then again, since you can't seem to separate a dem vs. dem race from a dem. vs. rep. race, maybe you don't have any handle on reality. Just because the spin-machine and name recognition of Clinton beat Barack in a few machine-politic states doesn't mean anything about Barack beating McSame. This is COMMON SENSE!!!! But lets go paragraph by paragraph shall we?

Pledged delegate allocation: You are right, it is a joke. It should be one person, one vote. No delegates, no electoral college, just citizens voting. BUT since that is the system we have currently deal with it. Quit comparing it to the REPUBLICAN system and whining because if we were Republicans Hillary would have the nomination. If that is how you feel – go join them!

Not taking Caucuses seriously: Hillary doesn't even consider those votes in her "I'm winning the popular vote" count. How can you claim to care about what the people want when to suit your own ends you COMPLETELY IGNORE the votes of millions upon millions of people?!?!?

Swing states: Again, if you think that Obama won't win CA and NY in his sleep against McCain, you are a total idiot! The rest of your favorite states (see, there are many swing states that he won and Hillary lost – but again, those states and those votes don't seem to matter to you or Hillary...) are VERY winnable by any democrat.

Slam Dunk: You are right, this election should be a slam dunk. We'll see how much damage Clinton does. I'm sorry – you don't confuse being shot at by snipers with listening to poetry written by an elementary school girl. She lies to suit her ends. She has no regard for how her bitter, false attacks hurt the democratic party and the nation. Pull back a second and try to see simple facts...... I have faith in your ability to see the light.... I have... HOPE!!!

Frustrated or desperate sounds the same to me.
cnn post this please!

Wow, I wonder what Hillary has on Paterson backpeddle so quickly he said what he meant. If Hillary can't get what she wants she'll threaten, cry, complain, and cheat to get votes. That is pure despiration too me not frustation.

Brother if you can't stand the heat get out the kitchen the Clintons are devils seeking to destroy anyone who gets in their way.

MI and FL or no, the race was over months ago.

Obama and the Democratic Party should think twice about enlisting Hillary Clinton to help in the general. She took her primary campaign from double-digit front runner status and, through her negativity, victim psychology, and snotty comments, destroyed her own campaign. Meanwhile, Obama is doing just fine without her.

Man, can she suck the fun out of a room, and drag us all down with her.

CLINTON SUPER DELEGATES ARE THE ONES DRINKING THE KOOL-AID. LOOK AT HOW THEY MADE HIM COME BACK AND CHANGE IS WORDS. SHE MISS SPEAKS, THEY CAN'T SAY WHAT THEY REALLY FEEL WITH OUT A BACK LASH.... I SEE AND SMELL TROUBLE

Why not re-run Florida & Michigan, letting the voters actually decide between the 2? If not, then do a 60-40 split; after all, even though Her Highness was the only name on the ballot, that's all she got.

To all you Hillary Haters with crushes on Obama,

How can you say you don't respect Hillary Clinton only because she is fighting hard for what she and millions of Americans believe in?

Just because Obama doesn't have the fortitude to close the deal quickly and win the nomination in his own right, you don't have to cry and whine about it. It isn't going to help him win the general election.

Grow up.

Don't stop fighting for the nomination, Hillary. You are the stronger candidate to go head-to-head with John McCain.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

She just a toast

I am frustrated too... frustrated that she is still in the race.

GO Hillary – just GO away A LONG WAY AWAY!

Dirtbags support other dirtbags. They agreed to strip the delegates. Go away now Hillary you dirtbag. Go away. You're just like Bill is. (I know "it's depends on what the definition of the word "is" is.")

Hillary should have run instead of Bill Clinton the first time around, she put him in the white house. Bill has done his part yet. They both have a muddy past before and during the white house days. Some people still think about santa clause as being real, some people think of Hillary as being real. Most people don't like her. I don't like her She reminds me of my x-wife.We need new government today, not 4 or 8 years later.

Obama is showing his true colors. He is young, inexperienced and lacks decisiveness. Any criticism leveled at Hilary, can be said for him, as well. Would you rather have a charismatic kid who will leave us in the lurch when under pressure. Not me!!!

I wish Senator Clinton the best, and feel she is the best for the country.

Sounds like someone got the phone call and
got their arm twisted. Just sayin........

If Hillary has so much support, why is she losing to a newbie?

Let's be honest, we've known her for 16 years and never heard of Obama till last year. But he won.

The majority wants Obama, the end.

Please, pick up an Obama tshirt on the way out.

I would have liked to have been on the phone call that the Clintons made to this weasel.

When he made the origional comment he got my respect; but now all he's done is prove he's nothing but another wimp polititican willing to succumb to pressure or bribery.

Sure glad I don't live in the state of NY.

As an Obama supporter, I would just like to say Hillary has a steel spine and has done alot of great things for this country. However, American Democrats have voted and Obama has won. Period. Obama did not make the primary rules; the DNC did. It is fine for Hillary backers to be upset right now, and understandably so, but Obama has won the nomination. He is a good, liberal Democrat, just like Hillary. Think about that before you start singing the praises of McCain, a right-wing, Bush clone.

Senator Hillary Clinton is being stubborn and she is obstructing the Presidential nomination process for the Democratic Party. I once admired her tenacity; now it is a hindrance. She and former President Clinton need to bow out gracefully and go home while they can. Senator Clinton looks foolish and desperate at this point. We do not need this kind of activity. We need to move forward without her getting in the way.

Hillary is desperate, frustrated, and she better not be hand the nomination. No, more boo-whooing, whinning, from the Clintons. get out gracefully like a woman!

You sir are out of touch... to say that she could best defeat McCain in the fall.
If Hillary was in touch She would be the front runner and running against McCain and not Obama, She wouldn't need to stretch the truth on her experiences and she would know from these blogs that people don't like her.

IN DENIAL and that ok at this point, I'm so tired of it... I look forward to the crash, her crash

Wow...could it be that CNN has done a story somewhat positive for Clinton. My Lord...its going to snow!

One can't help, but , wonder why there are those who sayes that Hillary is the candidate that can most likely defeat John McCain. Is this because those voting for Hillary do not want a black person for president at all cost. Meaning those swing states are putting race votes above the real issues at hand? Secondly, what happened to the Bush back lash? Is status quo that important that there are those who would have business as usual than making social progress. Thirdly, I do believe the many superdelegates that haven't voted, is holding out for some miracle, ie Florida, Michigan, inclusion that would aid in swinging votes Hillary's way. Its one thing to disenfranchise the voters of Florida, Michigan, but its best to disenfranchise all minorities who vote. What a great country we live in!!

There were alot of people who did not even go out and vote because they knew that their vote would not count. How many of Obama supporters did not vote...there were 700,000 people who voted uncommited...how many of these were for Obama. Shame on Queen Hilliary for wanting the whole pie...she is trying to steal this election and I for one would never vote for another Clinton...she has shamed her name and all of us for thinking we are stupid enough to believe her lies...she cannot win against McCain because if she steals this election I doubt if any of the Obama people would support her.

She's desperate

Brian, you must be living in lalaland for what you say. Give us proof of why your candidate is strong, strong among uneducated voters who can't think for themselves? Strong in lying or running negative campaigning or mismanaging her campaign or what? There is nothing that has happened so far to give credence to what you're saying. If she cannot win a primary against a junior senator from Illinois, how the hell is she going to win the general election? It is like a kid who didn't graduate from high school and thinks he would do well in his doctoral studies! If you are as feeble-minded as most HC supporters are, good, go on believing in fantasy because no amount of reasoning or analyzing of the facts is going to convince you otherwise. And this crap the HC camp keep on throwing out that she is tough, tough on what? Tough for doing what exactly!

Clinton is really getting on my nerves now along with her supporters. Its like they live on another planet. What is wrong with you people? Leave it up to the democrats to lose the election. Can't Dems for once act as Republican and win this election!

If Hillary is running on experience, she has already been in the Whitehouse for 2 terms, and thus she's ineligible.

If only he could see her face, he would know that he was right the first time.

GO OBAMA 008 Our NEXT president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough already. Senator Clinton signed onto the sanctions that were applied to Florida and Michigan, as did her various supporters on the DNC. She then violated the letter of the law by keeping her name on those ballots when the other candidates honored the earlier ruling and abstained from doing the same. Subsequently, she becomes a champion of these disenfranchised voters because it suits her electoral needs. To use another person's phrase, these are "situational ethics." The GOP would call it a flip-flop. At this juncture, I call it a lack of regard for the democratic process masquerading as support for the same. The blame for this fiasco lies with the state parties that violated the electoral rules of the party in an attempt to impose their larger money markets on the early races which are traditionally and wisely allotted to small states where less wealthy candidates have a fair chance of having their voices heard. Had Obama run in these states, or had he run well, I am sure that the Clinton faction would be clamoring for the DNC to enforce its earlier judgment. Such squalid opportunism is an insult, a disgusting farce. Enough. Enough. Enough. End this, and end it now.

Why is McCain only attacking Obama? He acts like Hillary does not even exist. Is it because they are so much alike that he prefers to run against her. He has blasted Barack for days and never says one word about Hillary. Is she irrelevant or is he treating her with kid gloves because he hopes and prays to run against her?

she's desperate.are you blind?

And your full of crap too.
There is not even any sense in trying to explain it or say anything else about it because you and her will not listen other than to say. She is desperate. She did not care about FL and MI until she started loosing. Look at the history of the race from the begining. If she was winning she would not give a hoot about this until after she was nominated then she would have had them seated. So quit trying to make excused for a SORE LOOSER. That is all this is about, had she won in February or March, we would not even be talking about this.

You are wrong Leon! GWB is the worst ever by a wide margin.

I have been a loyal and proud Democrat since I was 20 years and have voted Democratic for 40 years. I have always believed that the Democratic Party truely represented my beliefs and concerns about this wonderful country. Senator Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have always had my respect, admiration and love. It has hurt me deeply that they have been treated so badly and disrespectful during this primary season. The Florida and Michigan situation is mindboggling to me. How is it possible that these 2 states votes do not count, however other states that pushed up their primaries were not. I may be sentimental and naive but I do know that there are 50 states in the United States of America. If the Democratic National Committee will not count all votes and treat all states fairly and consistenly, I no longer want to be a part of this Party that I have believed in so strongly. After the last elections, if the DNC cannot count all votes and disenfranchise over 2 million voters, I will leave the Democratic Party.

you say obama has zero chance to win the swing states, just like he had zero chance to beat hillary this year, things change and so should you. We need to unite..

That's right!
This guy is blind, and he can see it's over!
Being a loser should be frustrating.
Strangely, after getting beat over 30 times by Obama, she hasn't picked up the fact that every election has a winner.........
DrFill

The question is not that "is she desperate".........the answer is that "yes......she is that desperate......and powerful enough to be able to make this man take back his statement"......which is true in the first place....does anyone see anything unusual about this?,,,,,,,,,yes indeed, it is unusual.....but then, so is everything that happens in "Hillaryworld".....soon it will be over, and we can get back to the
very serious business of electing a real President of the United States....not just one who wants to "......one-up her husband".......she is so very disturbed and causes so very much distraction, but then again that is her game also.....distract and overwhelm, and confuse....that is the Clinton game from day one!

I would be frustrated too, In fact I am!
I feel that I have seen three presidential campaigns in a row where the best candidate has been kept from winning.
For the first time since I could vote, I seriously doubt I will be voting in the fall election.

How about "bitter"? ; )

Hillary is desperate and frustrated. She is desperate to get anything in her favor. She is going to loose the last caucuses. That is why she is frustrated. She did not think another candidate could come close to her in the nomination. This is what led her to her frustrations. She has also showed her true colors by calling this campaign thing sexist. I never heard Obama say, "Hillary can not get the black vote or the male vote, or female vote." But didn't Hillary say, "Obama can not win over the white vote." Be it blue collar or white collar, she said "white vote". That is a blatant racist statement. I even used to like the Clntons until she said that. Oh by the way, doesnt Iowa, Mississipi, and Alabama have white blue collar workers? Or am I in the 5th dimension somewhere

"If you say this stuff, I won't run against you for the governorship, If you don't I will anhilate you". That was probably a conversation that caused Paterson to backtrack. Always nice to have a chip in your back pocket. NY dems have been trying for a long time to get HRC to say she would not run for governor, but she refuses. Nothing like having a little bit of blackmail available.

The Great Clinton Machine is going to steal this one. Just wait and see. I can see it in Wolf Blitzer and Campbell Brown's eyes.

This country needs to rise up and stop the crooked politics !!!!!!

I reckon she's both frustrated and desperate. I think Bill is responsible on both counts.

Yes there are some sad people on this post today. And, as usual, the obamabots spewing their typical hatred, etc. SAD SAD SAD. I still believe that Hillary Clinton will be the nominee. I for one can say that this Florida and Michigan thing is FRUSTRATING. Senator Clinton IS NOT desperate. Not counting our votes is FRUSTRATING!!!! Of course, as I stated before, if the shoes were on the other foot and Senator Obama was wanting these votes, people would be singing a different tune. Obama and only Obama has disenfranchised these two states period!!! What a joke he is. He will not win the GE. Only Hillary Clinton is more qualified and tougher and can fight for the presidency. GO HILLARY; WE ARE STILL BEHIND YOIU 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ONLY HILLARY CAN MOVE THIS COUNTRY TO A BETTER ECONOMY.

OBAMA CAN MOVE THIS COUNTRY TO NOTHING

MABUHAY HILLARY

If the great mayority of the American people took the presidential elections as a serious matter and understood that we are supposed to choose the MOST QUALIFIED person for the job, not the one with LOTS OF CHARISMA BUT NO EXPERIENCE like Obama, the primaries would be over and HILLARY CLINTON would be now preparing a plan to defeat John McCain, who now will most likely be the next president.

The Democrats method may not be perfect, but it is still more fair then the republicans where winner takes all. Unless of course you are Hillary Clinton.

If Obama wins the nomination (and it seems he will) he will win the Presidency in November. Every voter who doesnt want the Republicans back is going to turn allegiance to Obama in 7 days time whether they are yet to grow to like him or not!

CNN: the primaries are over. Barack Obama has not been running an active campaign against Hillary for three weeks. Hillary can stay in for as long as she wants, but those of us in the real world have moved on to the general election.

............................ HEADLINES..JUNE 4th, 2008

.................................The QUEEN is DEAD............

.................Hillary & Bill Clinton's campaign heads to the morgue...........

Living under Hillary here in NY for the last 4 years, I am going to vote for her and if its not her its going to be John, both of them have ... over the years done many things for the American people, no one yet has been able to point out one good reason to vote for Obama.
He is a sweet talker (Cult Figure) and I dont see that he has anything else to offer (then the word "change") I guess I just didnt drink the Kool-Aid
This Country needs more then one word to "change it"

Deeply concerned in NH

By the time Hill/Billy gets through she will have smeared Barack so much until she should be thrown out of the Democratic Party. She is in reality though, ruining herself in the process.

How do you know what Barack will do with her out of the way??

Ha Ha, Definitely the recipant of some angry calls. I'm sure both Bill and Hillary called him everything but a good man. LOL We know what you meant! Desperate, Delusional, the list goes on and on!

Frustration? Sure. But you were about as dead-on as you could have been with "desperation." Maybe you are rethinking of reserving that word now that you've seen the new levels she's going towards these days.

I wil be happy to vote for Hillary or Obama come November. I think what they both have done for our party is awesome! So everyone slinging the mud at each other please stop, save your comments for the republicans. If Obama was in Hillary's position he would not give up either. When all primaries are finished and all superdelegates have pledged we will have a winner. Then we will take on McBush and make history!

She is desperate, frustrated, and hopefully GONE!!!

...Obama's internal polling showed he was going to get landslided by Clinton in MI... by 20 points. So as a political calculation and to pander to IA voters he made a gratuitous public gesture of taking his name off the ballot in MI... but at the same time he was making a deal with the MI democratic party for his name to be represented in the primary by the line "uncommitted" and to have that publicized ... John Edwards joined the uncommitted line...

It appears the great uniter is just another calculating politician. Blood was spilled and lives were lost to ensure that all Americans had the right to vote. It is obscene that the DNC seeks to disenfranchise voters on a parliamentary procedure. Evidently democracy is just a word to them. In November we will show them unity is just a word also.
Neither candidate will have the necessary total to be the nominee
without the automatic delegate vote being a tie-breaker. America is worth fighting for. Taking this split decision to the convention IS playing by the rules. Read'em and weep Obama-fans.

Just another fip-flopper of the Billary Clinton campaign...First she's desperate, now she is frustrated...careful Gov. Patterson, your Governor position maybe the next thing Billary goes after!!!!

IN RESPONSE TO HILLARY, ITS OVER:

You are an idiot, the only person dividing this party or this country is you with you ignorrant attacks on senator clinton. Mind you neither has reach the delegate amount to give them the nomination....so if your attacks made any sense at all....then you would also be calling for sen. obama to get out of this race.....! IDIOT

We will unite in november and beat John Mccain!! But intill then, lets but out and let the peopl vote and choose the nomminee!

If Florida delegates are seated as Clinton wishes, then what happens the next time states wish to move their primary earlier? No consequence, so no problem? Ridiculous! Florida did not know Obama when the vote took place plus we were told in every newspaper in Florida that our vote would not result in delegates so many did not vote (in spite of the high turnout). How about Michigan where Obama was not even on the ballot? Clinton is beyond desperate, she is clutching for that last possible straw.
Face it, you lost by running a poor campaign.

You had it right the first time. She is desperate and will do anything to stay in the race. What did she say to make you back off?

Maybe frustration is the next step after desperate.....because desperate is what he "said". Does all Clinton supporters mis-speak?

Leon....President Carter was the worse ever? Um, are living in the here and now at all? George W. Bush is the worst President ever (or at least in modern history)....forget Hillary and Barrack...Let's just get that one fact straight...thanks.

Wow! I strongly disagree!
She is so much more desperate than frustrated!

Are you sure she's not bitter?

frustrated or desperate Hillary something mental.

oracle of Delaware...you are kidding right? You think playing 18 holes of golf and coming back to win on the last three holes is the same as coming back from a nearly 200 delegate lead? If you came back from being down 30 strokes at hole 15 you might have a comparison. This contest is over if you have any sense of math. Here is a little math for you....if Obama and Clinton split the remaining primary delegates Obama will need 5 superdelegates of the remaining 199 to win. I know you don't want to believe it but your candidate is finished, she just doens't know it.

Thank you for being loyal to Hillary Clinton. That's worth a lot these days and harder to come by.

I can't imagine how Clinton thinks this is the way to run for VP. She's alienating not only Obama, but Obama's supporters as well. It's ridiculous (and pathetic) for her to want to seat michigan as is, when Obama was the one that followed the rules by having his name removed from the ballot.
And florida is almost as bad. That wasn't the will of the people. "The People" didn't know who they were voting for because neither candidate had campaigned there. They were basically voting for Bill Clinton vrs. some black guy.
Clinton is desperate. And pathetic. And frustrated because she can't seem to get it through her head that she is not entitled to be president just 'cause she put up with Bill all these years.

I AM 69 YEARS OLD, I HAVE VOTED ONLY ONCE IN MY LIFE TIME AND THAT WAS FOR JOHN F. KENNEDY. IF THE LIKES OF HILLARY CLINTON IS NOMINATED I WILL NOT VOTE AT ALL, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN VOTING FOR ANYONE THAT IS A LIAR, CHEAT, RACIST,
AND YOU TALK ABOUT BEING EVIL, DARK, NO WAY IN H– WOULD I CAST A VOTE FOR THAT TYPE OF PERSON. I WORRY ABOUT AMERICA IT IS NOT DEMOCRATIC, BUT WHAT IS WORSE, EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT THE CLINTONS BUT NO ONE WILL STEP UP TO THE PLATE, THAT PEOPLE IS VERY DISTURBING AND TROUBLING AND TO COME OUT IN THE MEDIA AND ENDORSE
SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL KNOWING ALL THE DIRT, AND SICKNESS,
AND ACUSATIONS THAT PERSON IS LEVELING AT OTHER HUMAN BEINGS AND IT IS THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND HEAR ,AND, MAKE EXCUSES AND CONDONE SUCH IS DOWNRIGHT SICK. BUT, THANK GOD, YOU CAN NOT BENEFIT FROM EVIL, "IS THAT THE KIND OF PRESIDENT AMERICA WANT?"
ALL AMERICA BETTER BE CAREFUL, YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

Hillary and her supporters keep saying that obama can't win in november, the very same arguement they made prior to the primary. My answer to them is this, where is clinton now and where is obama? Who is leading who now? Who is grasping at everything straw just to stay afloat?

Come november, history is bound to repeat itself. I wonder what they would be saying then....

May God bless America!!!!

I'm sure it's frustrating for Senator Clinton to initially be thought of as a sure democratic party candidate in the upcoming presidential election, and then to not take Senator Obama as a serious candidate, then to come very close to winning but not quite make it! The fact is Obama has beaten her fair and square and she (and her husband) need to face the facts and do the right thing by supporting Obama and doing what's necessary to help him win the election. Obama has shown his effectiveness as a candidate and Clinton has failed to run an effective campaign.

Deeply concerned in NH–I can see you know nothing about politics. No matters whose name is on the ballot in New York or California–the Democrat is going to win. As for the other states–you must seem to think we have 2 Ohios–nope just 1 I am afraid to tell you.

Those other swing states are called that for a reason–and Obama can win them–check the latest polls before you write a comment. Actually he is beating McCain in all except Florida. You also forget to mention that Obama now puts Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Missouri, and Iowa in play–something the good old Shrew does not.

Obviously the Governor got a hate call at 3:00 a.m. from the White Witch of the Democratic Party (anyone seen Narnia–what a resemblence to Hillary..hmmm).

Ladies and Gentlemen–the fat lady is conducting dress rehearsals, they are playing last call, the party is over, and they are about to turn the lights out on the Clinton campaign–which in my opinion has been one of the most divisive, ugly, and mean spirited campaigns I have ever seen. Hillary Clinton has hurt feminism-has offended the African American community–insulted NUMEROUS states and people by saying their caucauses don't count–and she has alienated a huge base of the Democratic Party.

What saddens me is that those who apparently are drinking her Kool-Aid at her rallies and events cannot seem to come to terms with this all–it is almost like her following is as delusional as she is.

People–whether good or bad–or indifferent Senator Barack Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee. You can choose to not vote for him or vote for McCain but if McCain is elected and we have four more miserable years–YOU ARE IN NO POSITION TO COMPLAIN because you are at fault–because you voted for him or did not vote at all. This is not about being spiteful because your shrew did not get the nomination it is about this country and the people. I am tired of 8 years of Republicans–and believe it or not but I have been a registered Republican since I could vote–but not no more.

If we work together–rally around our candidate whether our first choice or not–we can see prosperity in the future. Senator Clinton could be very resourceful and make an impact in the Senate to help President Obama help this country. She can be remembered for being a woman of character and not for the woman she is being seen as today.

California is going Democrat regardless...

I am so tired of Hillary's polarization and divisiveness. I do not want a president who cannot unite the country and create so much fuss in the name of her HUGE EGO. If what she has done so far is "to help the country and the party," she has proven to me she cannot be president.

You had it right the first time. We all know you "got that phone call" last night.

No Govenor, tell me it is not true, did HRC send one of her Henchman, I mean misguided supporter to see you or did Bubba promise you one of his side order. You were right the first time, it is not about party unity its about Hillary and Bubba, They could care less what people think as long as she can steal the election. She already hood wink the majority of you New Yorkers. It want end even when they tell her it is, "How can a black man be elected when I am supported by all of these lower income people who want me to be president" She will not give it up nor go away, she will continue to bur every bridge she crosss.

RE: Deeply Concerned

I think you fail to miss the fact that the Democratic Party IS NOT winner take all, DOES NOT require a win in only the big states for a nominee, and this primary season certainly DOES NOT mean that because Hillary won CA, PA, and OH, McCain will automatically win in the GE. Grow up and stop the spin.

he got a STIFF talking to!

I wish I had brail e-mail... but since I dont, somebody read this to Brutha Patterson, the Clintons have LOST their MOJO... They can so longer do harm to you... Stop being SCARED... You are the governor of New York... MAN UP!

Hillary with all her "experience" lost period, she did not have a back up plan after Iowa. Now the Clinton's have to back pedal all the negative talk about Obama, our next president.

THE CLINTONS AND THE MEDIA WILL DO ANYTHING TO STOP OBAMA FROM BEING THE NOMINEE AND FOR SURE WIN IN NOVEMBER AGAINST MCCAIN (MCBUSH). WELL IT'S TO LATE HE'S WINNING.

OBAMA 08.

CHICKEN!

To: Deeply Concerned in NH

I'm tired of people arguing this back and forth too. You are right, if Hillary had considered the caucuses important, and if the Democratic party did not have such a strange delegation allocation method, Hillary would probably have won the nomination.

But I'm glad she's not going to. Her actions druing the campaign have shown that she has a serious character defect, and although I respected her before the primaries began, I lost all respect for her as a result of her actions and comments.

I have no idea how this election will turn out. The Republicans should have had no shot what so ever of winning... and now I'm not sure.

The Democrat Party is in absolute chaos... look at these boards. You would think it's a gang war.

Can anyone say "threat"? I guess he didn't want to "disappear" like the others.....

You Yanks deserve Hillary! Obama is too nice to be your president!

No back peddling! You were right the first time. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how she can go on when she is broke and in debt?

Nevernverobama: Why do insist on calling Hillary a 'baby girl'. I'm a woman who is supporting Obama, but I find your comment to be sexist. You should know better.

Did she read the rules that she agreed to abide by when she chose to run? Does she care at all about the party? If so, take on a more unifying tone, HRC. You're hurting the party. I hope she suspends her campaign after the last primary, allows the process to continue, and puts the party first, her ambitions second.

I strongly believe we are making a big mistake with Obama! Hillary is a better candidate, but you cannot fight the powers to be, meaning the DNC and the super delegates. But we can hold them accountable and believe me we will. They have long ago chosen Obama, instead of using common sense , they choose to go with the numbers of 48 states instead of 50. This in it self will be the destruction of the Democratic party under Howard Dean. They gave way to caucuses that are not the majority of the people speaking , just a few. Their mistake will go down in the books, just like the Bush era, filled with false facts and deceptions.

I cannot imagine for one split second that if Hillary were ahead in delegate counts and had won the caucus states that she would be pushing the Michigan and Florida situation as she is.

This situational advocacy of Florida and Michigan, which only became her mantra when she could percieve no other strategy, is truly one of the more pathetic political ploys I have witnessed.

And we think George Bush's spin on Iraq was bad? seems Hillary can spin a few twists of realities of her own.

Both words apply to her. She is desperate as well as frustrated.
Give me a break

This is a historic year for our Southern friends and neighbours. You get to make history by sending either a woman or an African-American man to the November election. You are also witnessing the single-most shocking act of selfishness by a politician in recent memory. What Hillary Clinton is doing to Obama's campaign, considering she is supposed to be on the same team, is nothing short of disgusting. Get out of the way, Clinton – the whole world needs Obama to clean up after the worst Presidential Years in recent history.

Canucks for Obama!

It is very obvious here that Patterson got a strong reprimand from the Clintons. Patterson was right the first time – Hillary Clinton is desperate and despicable!
Gail
Bridgeville DE

What a suck *ss Patterson is . . . capitulating to the Hillary "nutcracker." I am so tired of reading and hearing about the Clintons.

Hillary should also receive full Michigan votes as well. Obama strategically took his name off the ballot in Michigan because the polls showed that Hillary would wallop him; then Obama pushed very hard for people to vote "uncommitted" on the ballot and Hillary still walloped Obama ("Uncommitted") in Michigan. In addition, Obama's cronies in the Michigan legislature blocked a new primary from being held in that state and they admitted on national TV, as the polls showed that Hillary would wallop Obama by even a wider blow out than she did in January. Therefore, Hillary besides the fact that she should be awarded all the votes and delegates she earned in Florida, but also in Michigan as well.

Let's go Hillary, go all the way until the convention!!!

Hillary 08!!!

He must have gotten a 3 am phone call.

Pathetic.
RIP Democratic Party.. and you can thank Hillary and Bill.

Not according to the Gallup pole. Obama and Clinton are winning over McCain. After McCain rant about Obama not visiting Iraq, McCain is toast. Obama has created NEW SWING STATES. Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico.

David Paterson, how did the Clintons threaten you? "Desperate" was the perfect description of her behavior! Too bad you don't have the testicular fortitude to stand by your own words even when they are obviously true. Shame on you!!!

To "Deeply Concerned in NH:"

Obama cannot carry California? I live in California, and by the latest polls conducted by the LA Times, he is beating McCain here by 7 points, whereas Senator Clinton is beating him by 3 points–so actually, at this point, he is more likely to take CA than she is. Frankly, I am happy to say that CA is a reliably Democratic state–we vote for the Democratic candidate. Obama will win CA.

As for the other states you mentioned: As far as I am aware, Obama is considered competitive in all those states and is beating McCain in several, though not by as much as Clinton. However, in other possibly important states like Colorado, New Mexico, and Virginia, he is doing far better than Senator Clinton against McCain and could possibly win those states for the Democrats.

My point is that they are both at an advantage in certain states and at a disadvantage in others–but all it will take is for the party to unite around the eventual nominee and we will have no problem avoiding 4-8 more years of policies very similar to Bush's.

So, the most important thing is: we must unite. I think we're smart enough to remember that.

All these politicians should go back to high school to learn how command English.

Why don't you go and clean up your dirty little house. You are the one that is desperate and how you got to be governor is beyond most of us.

Gee, let me guess, the African-American Gov. David Paterson is for Barack H. Obama, what a surprise.

You are an adulterer, a drug user and a liability how come you are still in power?

Take Note Gov. Paterson, H.R. Clinton will be the next President, but you better believe when your term is up, you will be no where near power again.

Who is desperate? You are Desperate, you ingrate.

My question to the “under 30 generation” who for the first time in their lives “found their voice”… in Obama…..where have you been? Why not until now have you not exercised your right to vote? You place your faith in a man who has not been tested, pocesses little record of accomplishment and little to no experience in international or economic matters. Go back and check the record…Obama released his platform weeks after Clinton released her Solutions For America agenda. His were extremely similar to hers. The Clinton campaign reacted to the release of the Obama platform by saying…”at least his is not that different than ours” So I ask you, what does this man stand for when he copies what it convenient to his campaign? For shame!

Life to you folks seems rather simple. I suppose in your minds, Obama offers a sense of entitlement both for himself and his supporters - your/his time has come. The simple fact is that if you look past his rhetoric there is little substance. You buy into his chant of “change..yes we can” with little thought or experience as to the complexities involved in bringing about change. Some of you worship him like he is a “messiah”, here to save us from ourselves. He may in fact be anointed the nominee, and you like him, will think nothing can stop you. A country cannot have economic security and growth without first securing national security. The simple and relevant truth is…….. One can fool some of the people some of the time…but not all the people…. all the time

McCain may represent a party for which I may not find a lot of common ground however, I respect his honor, integrity and sacrifice to our country, the scars of which he still bears as a testament to his courage…. And I will place my hope for change in him.-he is not Bush… He has earned my respect and most likely my vote and the votes of millions of others who feel the same way.

For the sake of our country and that of our future….thank god there are more of us than you, and we will not allow this fantasy to continue past Nov. DNC party chairs and uncommitted superdelgates…..you either stop this false prophet now….or we will do so with our votes come Nov.

And to all those, Obama supporters, who have previously responded to my comment, or wish to now I say this…you are being fooled by the joker himself-Obama. Study up on your American history….this man will put up a pretty decent fight, however in the end, he will join the ranks of Kerry and other far-left liberals….bitter and clinging to his religion wondering why he came so far only to have the door slam shut on him.

I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Anyone who votes for McCain Because Hilary lost is simply blinded by all her negative propaganda. Barrack and Hilary have similar standings on most issues. The only difference, is that while Obama has been actually been focusing on those issues, Hilary has based her campaign around focusing on his mistakes while making alot of her own. Oh the fact that Obama's source of spiritual worship is as nutty as squirrel crap.

So desperately frustrated bunch...

I would be too after 200m USD and 200m hours of hard work...

Obama 08!

To those that say Obama has zero chance of winning pennsylvania, etc., check out the latest numbers on Real Clear Politics:

General Election McCain-Obama McCain-Clinton
National Obama +2.6 Clinton +1.2
Pennsylvania Obama +5.8 Clinton +11.7
Ohio Obama +1.3 Clinton +8.3
Wisconsin Obama +1.6 McCain +3.4
Virginia McCain +1.3 McCain +10.4
Florida McCain +8.3 Clinton +3.0
California Obama +11.5 Clinton +11.3

Once the dust settles, and the fanatical Hillary supporters realize they really don't want to vote for McKnockinondeathsdoor, these numbers will skew even more in favor of Obama in these states he has "zero chance of winning"

Wow, there seems to be a lot of psychics commenting here... To say Obama can;t win a swing state because Hillary won it during the primary is short sighted and, frankly, plain stupid. If ALL THE DEMOCRATS that voted in the primary vote for the democratic nominee (read Obama), he would be just as successful as Hillary if she won the nomination (cue Clinton dream sequence) and had ALL THE DEMOCRATS voting for her.... fact is the only way either one would lose is if so called "democrats" (read Clinton supporters), chose not to vote for the nominee. Plain and simple...

I am amazed that people can actually listen to Hillary and still come away with the idea that she is a good...anything. Calling on women to vote for her just because she's a woman? Hard to play the sexism card when you're the one who dealt it.

While I really can't justify even registering to vote with our choices, if Hillary becomes president I just might leave the country. If the American people are stupid enough to trust her and believe that she cares about anyone but herself, then they are not my people. Democrat, Republican, Independent, it doesn't matter. Hillary Clinton has no integrity. Enough said.

Hey ya'll be reasonable... There is desparation about the $30 MIL of debt...

Has anyone noticed that the most repeated statement in her speeches lately has been: "go to hillaryclinton.com and blah, blah, blah..." (And, of course "blah, blah, blah" = "send me some money" )

Hillary Clinton is a person, just like the rest of us. Obama would be seen much differently if the tables were turned. Regardless of the final candidate, the Dems have blown it again. ....and Howard Dean has lead the charge for the DNC.
I find the drama pathetic and useless, but not the people who are running for election.

I am a proud Dem and will vote to keep a Bushkin out.

The tide is starting to turn one super deleget that went from clinton to NOBAMA is now back to clinton so we will see who else comes to their senses HILLARY 08 & 12

Unfortunately, when a supporter backtracks on a comment that they made and then goes on to make statements that are currently being made by the Clinton's, they pretty much have lost their credibility. I would think that our party leaders would be more concerned with the Democratic party than making the Clinton's happy.

I thought you had some guts, Gov. Patterson. We will see how you feel when she runs for your job next. There is frustration that she didn't get what she thinks is rightfully hers, and she has been desperate in her crying the 3 months. I had high hopes for you. Oh well, another paid for clinton supporter.

I understand her being frustrated. She has worked hard so that FL & Michigan can vote.......and they should. I feel sorry for the people of these states b/c their votes do not count.

And Hillary has the popular vote, so this is what the delegates should highly consider.

Hillary 08

B-NYC
2 more things for you that Barack has done for this country.
He beat HIllary in the democratic primary
and he has registered thousands of(probably millions at this point) new voters.

I think Desperation is not that strong a work for Hillary

Hillary may be committing Suicide soon IMO. She is suicidal about her loss. I can tell from her conduct and pale faces these days. IMO, she is going to commit suicide soon. Hope the people around her can prevent her from this

YOU GOT TO SWING BOTH WAYS TO WIN THE SWING STATES, RIGHT HILLARY? HUMMA ABEDIN...NOT BAD. I WISH I HAD HER PENTHHOUSE ON THE EAST OF MANHATTAN.

A clear cut case of the blind leading the blind.

I think deperation is the right word given the RFK comment and the current claim that Obama won't win!!!

Shut up Paterson.

And the truth is in the pudding..She is as desparate as a mother looking for her child in a large crowd. Hillary is past frustrated. Howard Dean said that he was going to seat Fl and MI before loud mouth Hillary came up with this big plan.All she is doing is making herself look like the educated fool that she really is.

“Deeply Concerned in NH”

You should know your history before you make erroneous statements like “He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida.” New York, California, Pennsylvania, and Michigan vote for democrats in presidential elections, so your theory is flawed. These states are not swing states as you states but blue states (Democrats). Most likely Hillary’s career in New York is over.

Florida and Michigan should not be seated because they knew the consciences before hand and deliberately did not follow them. There are always a price for your actions when you break the rules or law as it should be.

This is why the youth are voting for Obama so overwhelmingly because Clinton will do anything to win. Florida and Michigan both knew the consequences of their actions before they decided not to abide by the rules. Furthermore, the ones that are pushing for the Florida and Michigan vote to count, what example are you setting for the youth of America. You are telling the youth that it is OK to break the rules if it is to your advantage. The youth of this nation are smarter than most adults realize. They (the youth) can tell when you are being hypocritical, or truthful. The youth of America seems to be more honest than the adults. The adults can learn from the youth and stick to what was established and agreed to before hand. If you show the youth how to circumvent the rules and laws than you cannot become angry when they (the youth) do so because they are only learning from the adults’ example.

Basically, Clinton is trying to breach a contract and if the adults who supports Florida and Michigan (being seated the way they are) they have no right to ever chastise a youth when they flaunt the rules and laws. This is not the example I would want any youth to learn. Maybe society needs to stop saying grow up and start saying revert back to being a youth. The supporters of this breach of contract has no leg to stand on (if it were a court of law) and the youth see this overwhelmingly. Go head and look the youth in the eye and explain why you support breaching the contract and they will no longer respect you because they can look through your hypocrisy.

Go away you sorry Obama supporters. If you can't say somethng intelligent and decent don't blog at all. You are all so afraid Hillary will win. Like the golfer, Oracle of Delaware said. It can Happen!!!

I think she's better qualified. I'm pissed too that others can't see that. Seems like a lot of people are voting against Hillary instead of voting for Obama anyways

HILLARY can still be the nominee. She is the strongest candidate that we have right now. We cannot elect a weak candidate, we cannot have an Intern to rule this Country!!!!! Never!!!!! People wake up! Do you want to entrust your future to Junior Senator???

Democrats interested in preserving Roe vs. Wade and ending the occupation of Iraq need to stop knocking their likely candidate in the fall, or they will put McCain in the White House and lose on both counts. The fight was fair and square and Hillary, without some major machinations, has lost.

Don't blame the Dems, don't blame the delegates it was the American people who voted for Obama. In fact more people voted for Obama in primary and cacus states than Clinton. If yo are seeking to blame anyone for the way the election turned out, blame all of the voters, whose independent right and judgment it is to vote for the candidate whom they feel will best lead thenation.

HILLARY SUPPORTERS UNITE.... take it to Denver, take it to November. All the way. Let Barrack Obama and the DNC know that we will only support a ticket with Hillary on it! They cannot win without us and they know it. Show your strength, seat FL and MI, count all of the votes.

Hillary 2008

Get outta of here Hillary! Clinton are loser! get over with it!

Yep, he received a 3 a.m. call from the screaming desperate cheater.

Go Obama, only 50 delegates to go... Hillary Go home and stop whinning you're getting on my nerves.

Won't work Governor Patterson – I believe what you said is what you meant. So, no gimme back my comment.

leon = so incapable of coming up with original thoughts of his own, that he has to spam multiple posts with the same exact message.

There has always been a sexist undertone to comments describing Hillary Clinton as "desparate," and "pathetic," reflecting society's view of women of a certain age. I hope that her constituency lets Obama's people know they cannot get away with this kind of language.

Why should she be desparate? She is a brilliant strong candidate who is winning the popular vote and making history. When historians write about this campaign, they will be astounded by the unfair, offensive, and irrational treatment she has been subjected to at the hands of Obama's supporters.

But she perseveres. Go Hillary!

Paterson meant what he said "frustrated" because she is not the queen of the ball like she'd thought at the beginning of this race. Hillary Clinton and her husband has exemptified the ultimate poor sportsmanship. They are trying to change every rule that the Dems have imposed in the Democratic Party. Bill Clinton is running his mouth that his wife has been disrespected by any or everyone who is not on her side. He needs to look back at his White House days in early 90s and not use the word "disrespect" anymore. He humiliated and committed adultery right under her nose in OUR White House and lied about it; therefore, we know that the Clintons will say and do just about anything to have their way in this election.

Obama do not chose this woman as a running mate or do not let your guard up, who knows what the Clintons are capable of.

The US is a third world country judging by its 32 million or so human beings living below the poverty line and its politics in particular when looking at the behaviour of Mrs. Clinton in the elections.

Republicans, get out of Iraq first and then out of the US.

Deeply concerned in NH.
How about you take your deep concern and do some research. In current polling that Hillary likes so much, Barack is polling wins in CA, PA, NY. Go ahead look it up, I dare you. I don't know why people think that they can come on these blogs and spew this stuff. You seriously think that the bloggers reading this haven't looked into this stuff. Well, I looked into it and he can win without Michigan, Ohio and Florida.

I WAS A FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR HER TO GET OUT AND STOP HER DELUSIONAL BEHAVIOR.

BUT I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW SHE FINDS OTHER PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME DELUSIONS TO SUPPORT HER?

Patterson wants to set the seeds if Hillary Clinton challenges him for NY governor in 2010.....

running against a lazy, clueless, inexperienced African-American..... sound familiar??

New York Democrats aren't as stupid as Democrats nationwide who support caucuses, inexperience, and good speeches

Us moderate Democrats can only stand by and watch as the DNC drives itself enthusiastically over the cliff with the Nobama nomination. Heal the riff in the Democratic Party? You people who think that will happen are delusional. Wake up folks, there is no victory waiting for you in November with Nobama.

PATERSON GO PICK UP YOUR GIRL, REMIND HER THAT SHE LOST.

Hillary and Bill -
1.Stop trying to change the rules to satisfy your run for President.
2. Stop lying.
3. Stop Cheating.

You are desperate and it is ugly.

You are making me ill. You and your silly supporters. I voted for Bill and loved him, now – I do not. Everyday I hope that I will wake up and find you have come to your senses and conceeded the loss. You are a disgrace to the Presidental race, to women, and to the Democratic party.

The Clinton's are punking everyone

How anybody could be sitting at the end of 2008, with the last 8 years to reflect on, and call CARTER the worst president in history, I'll never understand.

Bush Jr is BY FAR and by every method of calculation the worst president of all time. And anyone who votes for McCain is voting for 4 more years of the worst policies EVER. Unjustified wars, economy in the crapper, human rights and privacy out the window...

I mean who really cares who the Democratic nominee is, as long as we end the Bush/Rove/Cheney regime, and don't let it continue under McCain?

"I WILL NOT SURRENDER IRAQ!" Like it's U.S. soil or something!

Vote Democratic this fall NO MATTER WHAT or we are doomed.

Stop me if you've heard this one! How many cheating men does it take to run New York?

Kind of an irony,,,

If Hillary is so concerned that "every vote counts" and her supporters clamor for the same thing :

- why not count caucus states?

- why not worry about those voters in Mi and Fl that did not go out to vote because they were told by the DNC AND HILLARY that the votes wouldn't count? (don't make me pull out the quote to prove it)

- why are they now seeking to "disenfranchise" all the majority that has voted for Obama using the logic that the Superdelegates can vote their conscience and disregard the majority.

... I have to say that Hillary's campaign is the most self-stultifying ever. They want the votes to count, accept the ones that have already been cast.

Yeah Patterson, she is so frustrated that your job might just be next. The Governor of New York title will start sounding better and better here shortly.

But, is she bitter?

Want to seat all of Florida and Michigans delegates? Fine, but do it as "fairly" as possible. Give Obama the full 45% of the vote in Michigan that Hillary didn't win. Then, since Edwards now supports Obama, let him have his delegates. All his delegates are going that way anyways. That way we all can get past this mess and nominate OBAMA!!!!!

You can call it anything you want to, but the bottom line is,"SHE IS DESPERATE". I'm sick of those who say that Obama can't win the swing states. Why can't he? Next time there won't be this lying
"white woman" portraying being beaten up by this "black man".. It'll be Obama against McCain who is all over the place in the issues. This time the issues will be at the forefront, not delegate counts. If the swing states want the same recessionist economy then go and vote for McCain. If you want a vibrant economy, vote Obama. Wall Street has already said that Obama will be good for the economy. So let them make the decision. Job or no job. Their welfare is in their own hands. Hillary is desperate.

Gov. Paterson misspelled "pathetic."

OBama08

Um, no. She's desperate. She is starting to come off as a very sore loser.

Don't worry David. We're booting Hillary out of NYS as soon as she returns.

Your Gov. seat is safe.

Leon sorry to disagree with you entirely. History is starting to prove that Carter was a great President and we should all be so lucky if anyone comes along like him. He predicted and tried to do something about our fuel shortage and the problems in the middle East. Reagan and the Republicans scoffed and smeared him on it. So in fact Reagan is the worst President wa've ever had. All of our problems today all point back to him.

fred2..since another stole my name, LOOK AT THE SUP DEL CATCH FOR THE DAY FOR OBAMA:

5-28-08 – Added DNC Pat Waak (CO) for Obama
- Added DNC Meredith Woods-Smith (OR) for Obama
- Added DNC Wayne Kinney (OR) for Obama

Re: changing the rules now. Let's get the NFL to shave some points off of the New York Giants Superbowl victory. They too weren't suppose to beat the presumed winner, right?

There has always been a sexist edge to comments describing Hillary Clinton as "desparate," or "oathetic," which I think reflects society's view of women of a certain age. I hope that her constituency lets Obama's campaign know thaty cannot get away with this kind of language.

Why should she be desparate? She is a brilliant, strong candidate who is winning the popular vote and making history in this country.

"why cant I win? why cant I win?, why dont they like me?, why dont they like me?. Maybe its because everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie and Im incredibly self centered and selfish"-- Hillary you are all of these things AND frustrated AND desperate. SIT DOWN and shut up.

Now the story changes. If you believe Hillary was "frustrated" instead of "desperate" then you believe Hillary was really under Bosnian sniper fire.

Yay Hillary, Come Back Kid of '08. Just kidding, she's done like a well cooked turkey.
Having Hillary, the most divisive figure in recent American Politics, run as the democratic nomineewould energize the revitalize the essentially dead republican spirit.
There's only one good reason to vote for her, she did win the Swing States. Oh wait! She won because hardcore right wing nut jobs were going out of their way to vote for her. Rush Limbaugh sent his demon workers to give Clinton a chance at the nomination, which therefore would seal a Republican win in November.
Clinton supporters, get over yourselves. Obama and Clinton essentially have the same ideals, so if you Clinton fanatics either vote for McCain or stay at home in November, fine. You're just a hypocrite throwing away your beliefs.

DEMOCRAT 08

Deeply Concerned in NH: Don't confuse "didn't win the swing states" with "cannot win the swing states". He can win them as well. Plus he's doing very will in traditionally Republican states, so well in fact that the definition of swing state is being changed. It will be an interesting November. Even with all of the crossover Clinton supporters, Obama will still win.

Leon,

I dissagree...Bush is the worst president in history!

Obama 08

HILLARY GET OUT THE RACE, IT IS OVER.

Again let me repeat...if you think that this nominating process is over in June, you have bumped your head. This issue, is going to go right into you convention in Denver, and the ramifications of it are going to destroy, actually already have, you just don't know it yet. Every day the news is about the daily pareade of dysfucntionalism that surrounds the Clinton' s...more is to come, more lies, hysteria, name calling, victimition of self, distorttions backtracking, and general nonsense...sounds like the Clinton Administration again displays itself. Hell these frauds can't even manage an election, how the Hell are they going to tmanagae thius country?

I am amazed at how sevoted Clintn's supporters are in light of all the obvious turns, shifts, gaffs, and out and out lies that come from their candidtate's camp.

Blind devotion is dangerous. (no pun here)

You looking at me? No, really, I can't tell.

I really don't think the Affirmative Action Candidate with the microphone permanently embedded in his mouth is going to be able to beat Senator John McCain...

But then, what do I know?

I thought that Bush would beat Gore and Bush would beat Kerry: And I'm a life-long DEMOCRAT!

As usual, the OBAMA Supporters cannot give a single good reason why he should be the nominee. Instead they attack Hillary Clinton for everything uncluding breathing.

And since when was Bill Clinton the enemy of the Democratic Party. Wake up, put down the coolade you Obama nut cases.

Bill Clinton was and remain to be one of the best presidents we have ever had.

Hillary Clinton is the best choice. She is not perfect. But who on earth is.

She has the experience and is a fighter.

I am a white, late thirties, very well educated male with a very good job. And I am going to continue to support Hillary.

I am not uneducated, unemployed, and clinging to guns and religion as the obama campaign would like you to belive all Clinton's supporters are. I am also not a rascist, having been awarded a national diversity award last year from my company.

So go ahead and vote for the empty suit. He will not get elected.

Put him on the ticket as a vice president and he can run in2016.

I don't know of anyone who would vote for Hillary after the way she's run her campaign and of the statements she's made.

Hillary really needs to just retire.

READ THIS YOU HYPOCRITCAL PEOPLE>It becomes pretty tricky when you consider that in Michigan, Barack Obama’s name wasn’t even on the ballot. It’s also important to note that both candidates signed a pledge not to campaign in either state and agreed the primaries should be invalid if the states changed the dates. SHE AGREED TO THIS AND NOW SHE'S PULLING A DOUBLE STANDARD. WHY WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE LIKE THIS FOR PRESIDENT. IF YOU AGREE WITH HER THEN YOUR JUST AS TWO FACED AND HYPOCRITICAL AS SHE IS.

Go Hillary
Don't listen to the pathetic Obama supporters..
Take it to the convention if you have too.

Obama can not win..PERIOD!!

Wow, what a flip flopper.

Don't change ur word governor... ur were right ... she is desperate...and probably u are desperate taht ur candidate is not going anywhere near White House...

Sounds like the new governor awakened this morning with the severed head of his seeing eye dog lying next to him. Just a little message from Boss Hillary.

Sure she is frustrated...she is losing and she is throwing a tantrum like her supporters to give her the prize no matter how she gets it or what morals, rules and principles are thrown out the window.

The lack of maturity and hysteria displayed by her and her supporters is a travesty to the women's movement everywhere.

The way Obama is handling this...giving her space, avoiding answering her frantic demands and claims and telling his supporters to stay home on Saturday demonstrates the integrity, judgement and level headed needed to lead thi Democrats into the election!!

What a COWARD? The Clinton's have him on a short leash, I guess he pulled loose for a second, ,but they certainly pulled him back in.

SAD!

Deeply concerned: Have you not seen that most polls on the states you mention have Obama beating McBush?

Bubba and Rocky must have scared him into submission. Yikes!

HILLARY IS THE ANSWER TO OUR PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY!

SHE HAS NOT BEEN CAUGHT LYING OVER AND OVER OR TALKING ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

LETS NOT FORGET THE WACK JOB PASTOR THAT OBAMA THREW UNDER THE BUS FOR VOTES!

IF OBAMA IS MADE THE NOMINEE HE WILL LOSE!

AS A DEMOCRAT, I WOULD RATHER HAVE McCAIN BECAUSE OBAMA HAS NO CLUE WHAT HE IS DOING!

THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL BE LAUGHING AT US KNOWING WE HAVE A FOOL AT THE HELM!!!

HILLARY HAS THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO FIX THE WAR AND THE ECONOMY!!

I TRUST HILLARY CLINTON 08!

Someone must have gotten to him. LOL It's silly that he back the woman that he'll probably be giving up his governor seat to. LOL

So of course he wants her to win, so he can keep his spot as governor.

Those who continue to deride Gov. Paterson,on his support for Hillary,are wrong.Most of them are Obama supporters.What then will they see or say when Obama is defeated? Finally,when the winner is Hillary as the President?

HIllary needs to just leave the race while she still has some dignity intact. I used to be a huge fan of Hill and Bill and I'm a hard-working white woman over age 55. The Clintons have run a disgraceful campaign. Even if she does manage to squeek through to the nomination, she and Bill have been so divisive in the course of her campaign that I doubt she could be elected dog-catcher in Podunk, IA.

Hillary – get over yourself – we are over you!

She's not desperate or frustrated, she's defeated.

All of Clinton supporters are so afraid of her. The men are like pansy's and have no spine. They are afraid to say what they really think and when they do, they have to back track. If a female president will result in the males of america becoming patsy's, it would be a shame.

Nice one leon. Obama = Carter. Wow, your lucid argument wins the day. Let's try some others.

McCain = Bush
Hillary = Stalin
Obama = JFK = MLK = RFK = Lincoln
Leon = !diot

We could do this all day long. You are so smart.

That would be all well and good had he not gone to such lengths to make his statement clear. It is obvious that that is what he said, and I am sorry to see him back down so completely. I guess that's what happens when politcal pressure comes to bear. Hopefully someone will stand up like he did and say FINALLY...Enough is Enough, and not back down. I understand everyone wants to be fair to Florida and Michigan...but what about what's fair for the other 48 states who chose to obey the rules and do it right? Making Obama and the DNC look like the bad guys for even having to step in when the rules were so blatantly ignored is a shameful thing for Clinton to do.

Two words: FLIP FLOP

Patterson is a coward. Probably got a call from Bubba and ran with his tail between his legs seeking a retraction.

Plain and simple, Billary is not frustrated, but plain old crazy. Last week sounded to me as if she put out a contract on OBAMA.

Sore loser go home. She is beyond pathetic!

NH for OBAMA08!

I think the KEY FACT that everyone is missing is that the rulesof the democratic primary were set in advance and Obama ran a smarter campaign. To try to claim that caucus states are of less importance or that NOW Florida and Michigan should count is just sour grapes. Obama was the stronger/smarter candidate. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda does not matter.

We also cannot ignore the fact that New York and California are not "so-called swing states" they are reliably democratic. And just like Hillary has a leg up in the swing states of Ohio and Penn, Obama polls better in the swing states of New Mexico and Colorado.

Bottom line...the rules were set, Obama is winning and Clinton supporters are crying foul.

As a mother of 4, and a former Clinton supporter, her behavior and whining is really getting old. They need to show the voters of FL and MI the pledge all of the candidates signed not to include FL and MI, and then play the comments from Hillary stating back in Dec '07 that this was going to be a short primary and be over in Feb, and how now that the game is not going in her favor, she wants to be a spoiled sport and change the rules! She needs to remember that she is a role model for future politicians.

This is stupid! He said exactly what he meant the first time. There is a scripture that says, through the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks! His heart was obviously abundant and his mouth clearly spoke. I saw in her speech in Boca Raton, an angry desperation in her eyes that can not be denied! She is desperate and I don't care who tries to pin a different vocabulary to it! After this mess is settled on May 31 and the last primaries are over on June 3, Hillary needs to start working on her supporters and letting them know that voting for John McInsane would be a terrible thing to do. Look at his record on women's issues. It would be stupid for any woman not stuck in the 18th century to vote for him. The same with African-Americans. You saw firsthand from Mike Huckabee the type of humor that Republicans sometimes think is funny.

Why is everyone backtracking their comments? What does Bill Clinton do after people make comments against Hillary in public? Quite troubling to see that kind of power accumulation on one family.

Wait, Hillary used to say the DNC rules should be abided by. That is a fact.

She is grasping at straws. Her true colors are green and ugly.

Back-tracking COWARD. I was impressed on Thursday. Apparently,
Mr. Paterson got some heat for his HONEST reaction.

Hillary is not desperate but the media who were biased so their candidate -Obama will get the nomination without taking into consideration that she more qualified and more winnable than Obama.

Even as her supporter, Governor Patterson seems to acknowledge that Hillary's demand to seat the Michigan delegation when Obama wasn't on the ballot – is difficult to argue for.

How fair is it to penalize the candidate who took his name off of the Michigan ballot so as to follow the party rules that were in place at the time? How fair is it to say that NOBODY in Michigan – not one voter, not one delegate – supports Obama? Hillary is really over the top on her MIchigan demand.

LOL.. the article underneath this one..

"Rendell: 'Very unlikely' Clinton will win"

Let everybody vote, and then let's see who's ahead. I'm voting Democratic either way it goes.

MCcAIN....pLEASE TAKE QUEES HILLARY OUT BACK TO THE DUMPER AND LET HER PULL YOUR CHAIN

It's simple, either you believe all votes count or you don't. There are no if(s), and(s), or but(s). How can one justify that their vote counts while another's does not. This is not a candidate issue, it's an American issue.

call it the way it is patterson ! since you cant see them coming, why would you be scared of what you cant see ? or did you recieve that 3am kind of calls from their killer goons ? I predict that hillary would neede a psycho therapist after the spanking we will give her next week.

CNN WON,T POST THIS JUST LIKE ALL MY OTHER COMMENTS BECAUSE THEY ARE PRO OBAMA BUT HERE GOES.I WILL BE VOTING FOR HILLARY IN NOV.I CALLED MY LOCAL BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND FOUND OUT HOW I CAN,SO ALL YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS CALL YOUR LOCAL BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND DO THE SAME THING.LET'S SEE WHAT THE DNCDOES?

Also remember that Hillary Clinton is 20 million dollars in debt. That's not victimless debt either... its colleges, universities, city municipal funds, diners, and service contractors. Its hard working, tax-paying AMERICANS that she has neglected to pay. Keep dreaming if you think she gives a flyin'-hoot about the blue collar worker. I think desperate is an appropriate adjective.

HEY BILL WHERE IS THE FIFTY DOLLARS YOU OWE ME FROM LAST NIGHT?

Go Hillary!!!!

Otherwise, be prepared to suffer the consequences with McCain...

Obama will never win... Kerry lost in 2004, even when he was a war hero...

What about Obama??? A rethoric hero???

Everybody seems to forget that it was a REPUBLICAN dirty trick to move the primaries up.
They had the majority vote in both fla and mi

We
are talking about a blind man here..........what does he see....................
well Paterson keep your trap shut. Hillary.................08................................

She's frustrated that we're not as desperate to have her as President as she is to be President.

I can see why Hillary is frustrated cause we all know she is more electable but the media is trying to portray her as otherwise.

No, he was right the first time. It's desperation.

The only way she'd be the better candidate in the general election is if only Democrats were allowed to vote in it.

Go play CNN's Delegate Game. You'll see that if the remaining contests are split 50-50 down the middle Obama only needs 5 more superdelegates to win the nomination. She needs 67% of the votes in the remaining contests and 100% of the remaining superdelegates to win.

Face it. IT IS OVER!

You were right the first time Governor, she is 'desperate'.

Did you get a call from Bill?

It is not over until the fat lady sings. This thing will go all the way to the convention and I pray that better heads prevail. Hillary should be the nominee, not Obama. Obama can only win the Caucus states.Not enought to win in November. Hillary is right.

You had it right the first time Governor. Frustrated, desperate, crazy, maniac, con artist, all of these describe Hillary.

Sounds like you got a few hate calls from the Clintons.

Hillary Cheated in FL & MC!!!!! Looks like another Bush administration!!!! NO MORE LIES!!!! If Obama makes a mistake he answers for it and apologizes. I want honesty and NO EXPERIENCE next in Washington. The experience of the past has destroyed this country or close to it!!!! I want new, fresh, young and NO ties to lobbiests or Washington insiders. Change, change and more change!!!! He only can do better for us, the American People–I do not want what we have and Hillary is more of the same!!!!!

YES HILLARY IS FRUSTRATED WITH THE HATE AND BIAS AGAINST HER FROM THE MEDIA, OBAMA, AND OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS. I DONT BLAME HER.

ALSO SHE WANTS EVERY VOTE TO COUNT.

HILLARY 08

Hillary, go "Florida" yourself! The race is over, Barack won, you lose!

Obama and his mental midget supporters said they can take Denver and New Mexico in general election (9 and 5 electoral votes), McCain will take Ohio that is 20 electoral votes, where is their math in winning electoral college votes? Hillary right now is 300 electoral votes, defeating McCain and Obama; McCain is ahead in electoral votes against Obama looking at the map. What matter in this election are SWING STATES. Obama won in caucuses that are Republican states for years and will remain Republican for many years to come, example of that is Idaho (caucus – Obama won), that is a Republican state. South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, these are ALL republican states and will remain that way for many years to come. He ONLY won in those states because of BLACK VOTES, AA voted for Obama because he's BLACK, and that's a FACT.

Obviously, the good Governor has realized that Clinton indeed has to chance to be the nominee!

Wonder how many supers are going to "jump back on the wagon"? It's fairly obvious with the criticisms that Obama has received lately, together with his naive positions on foreign policy, that Hillary is more electable versus McCain in November.

Hillary has her baggage from her husband's presidency, but they are nothing compared to the issues that face Obama in the coming months!

I guess Paterson got a call from the Clintons.

Deeply Concerned in NH wrote:
"We cannot ignore that Obama CANNOT win the so-called "swing states in November. He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida"

You are kidding me, right? Another "desperate" Clinton supporter grasping for straws. Recent polls show that Obama leads McCain in 4 of the 6 states listed. He's behind by 7 in Florida and by 1 in Michigan, thanks mostly to Hillary spreading discontent.

With all the lies she has spread about Obama's role in disenfranchising them, no one in either Florida or Michigan should support her. It was actually her campaign manager, Terry McAuliffe, and her other buddies at the DNC (Clinton cronies on the Committee voted 12- 0 for the sanctions) who are to blame.

YOU KNOW, I GONNA OPEN MY MOUTH, IT WASN'T FAIR THAT WHAT'S HIS NAME ELLIOT SPITZER HAD TO RESIGN, THEAT'S BS, BILL CLINTON DID IT, THIS PATERSON GUY DID IT TOO, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

You had it right the first time Mr. Paterson. This change in your tune is a clear indication that the Clinton goons have gotten to you. I guess that RFK reference stuck a nerve.

Maybe Clinton is a bit "bitter"? No wait, that word would be too much of an insult to the family who thinks they are entitled to the top job.

Well is fairly obvious Gov. Patterson got a threatening phone call
from either Bill or Hillary, lol.

Probably they suggested he soften his remarks, or Hillary will
replace him as Governor.

Hillary and Bill have no shame.
Old School politics are not the thing to do, it is so transparent
on what has occured,

OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!

Look more hate and despair from Obama supporters, it's impossible for them to post without screaming insults at people. I'm baffled how this unites the country, but they don't know what Obama stands for anyway, they just like a catchy campaign slogan, it's all they are able to relate to. Talk about desperate, why all the hate, if they are so confident in their candidate.

Gov. Paterson's "desperate" statement was indeed thoughtless. Of the two candidates, Sen. Clinton has by far run the most admirable campaign, and millions of democratic voters continue to hope that she will win the nomination. They know she has the strongest case.

Just because Obama did not win the swing states or the big states in the primary does not mean he can't win them in the general. If Hillary does her job and persuades her voters to vote democratic and vote for him, he should have no problem. The question is whther she has her voters so worked up against him that even with her encouragement they will not vote for him. That would be a problem. It seems to me it's up to her whether she is a team player or not. I wish I had more confidence that she is.

Why is is that when a woman runs a hard fought campaign and is tough as nails to the end, she is condemned and maligned, but a man doing the same thing is called tenatious and gains respect? Pretend the reverse of what is happening is true...would Obama step down if he was in Hillary's shoes? I think not.

Obama supporters have NOBODY to blame but themselves if Obama wins OR loses the Presidency, because either way, the White House will be run by a self-serving, truth-stretching, mysogynistic egomaniac. (Yes , I said 'mysogynist': Obama has a condescending 'sweetie' problem and McCain had a loyal, sick wife he dumped for a rich blonde. These men are two peas from the same pod)

I think D-E-S-T-R-U-C-T-I-V-E and P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C is more appropos. Sometimes the truth hurts more than the delusion. No need for anyone to take back their words of truth.

The only way the Clinton camp can 'claim' a Popular Vote lead is to stick to 55% for her in MI and 0% for Obama. She ran uncontested against 'Uncommitted.
If the DNC allots anything over 10% to OBama in MI he goes back into the PV lead.
This is WITH FLA at 49.8 % for Clinton and 33% for Obama, with a missing 17% that would favor Obama, Edward's supporters.
It is MISSPEAKING to say she wins the PV, and look at the polls in SD and MO, his PV lead widens even more. It's a lie!

Hillary remains the BEST American for the job as our president!

America the Beautiful......man this girl gotta have it! The Clintons...man 'o man....can't they take the $100 million..and leave town....for good.

send clinton to Iraq

No, Paterson had it right the first time.

You said it right the first time! And after this week ---- she won't be in the news anymore! Thank God!

Go Bam!

Mis-speaking is nothing strange to Hillary and her supporters any way. Let Paterson back track. Most of all Hillary is the winner because the Demoncratic Party keeps pandering her.

This is starting to become scary. It soundz loke a mob job going on. Whenever Bill speaks out every politician gets shook.

Did any one threaten the governor? He said what he meant and now he is rejecting and re wording. what type of leaders do we have?

its realy scary whats going on behind close doors. but they better not even think about it. The headlines here on this site are throwing a lot of hints, like the eclection is going to be stolen for hillary.

Desperate, frustrated, humiliated, betrayed, call it what you will. But rather than bicker over what we should call it, we should instead look at the consequences of Hillary Clinton's behavior. She is digging in her heels against her own party, fueling anger and widening fissures in the democratic base, twisting the facts to support her case, and attempting to changes the rules of the game because they didn't swing her way. What kind of insanity does it take to say your winning, when you're actually losing? And what kind of politician does it take to spew "every vote must count, all americans are equal" when talking about states that violated party rules and demographics that support you, and selectively ignore the 12-some states that have caucuses or large populations of educated/black voters? And now she's saying she won't compromise on seating the FL and MI delegates? AND YOU WANT THIS WOMAN TO BE PRESIDENT?!?!? Her policies are different, but she's got more in common with Bush than McCain does. Wake up, America, Clinton IS NOT WHAT WE WANT IN A PRESIDENT.

Are you kidding me?
The woman is crazy desperate.

Patterson should apologize and should know better. Can't imagine how he would feel and the flack that Senator Clinton would have to take if she had said this of Patterson. Senator Clinton is so far superior to Obama and so much more qualified and experienced that she should stay in and Fight for the Nomination at All Costs. Obama does NOT deserve the nomination and Senator Clinton does. Her sorry fellow male Senators should have endorsed her, and we would not have this mess. She also has a Right to stay in the Campaign as Long as She Wants to Stay in the Campaign. Afterall, the Nomination was supposed to be Senator Clinton's. Whoever drug Obama into this campaign should have his head examined. Guess that would be Kennedy?

With all due respect to Gov. David Paterson, America can see that there is plenty of fustration AND desperation in Hillary and her campaign. She simply cannot undo all the things that have become part of the public record.

Where would her campaign be now if more of her supporters were aware of Peter Paul v. Clinton?

I seriously doubt she would've garnered as much support if folks knew about Clinton election fraud.

Hillary is desperate! and selffish!

OBAMA 08

She is desparate, grapsping for straws. And, I don't think anyone tought her how to count.

She is still 200+ delegates from the goal post, whereas Obama needs 48 delegates.

Very strange behavior if you ask me.

How about this Clinton?
We can't count any of the states that chose Obama over you...because they obviously are not worth counting...like cacus states.
We count the state where Obama was not on the ballot, because you won that one.
We discount the delegate system that has him winning. You keep the delegates that originally chose you by twisting the knife in their backs.

That way you win.

Oh wait a minute, that's not legal in this country because we are/were a democracy.

Sorry Hilary, you are not a queen waiting to be crowned. And voters are not choosing you in the real world where rules and ALL the actual voters count.

I get it!!! You are afraid that "WHEN" she loses the nomination she will come hunting for your job as the gov. of New York. Chicken....

Whichever word he chooses, she will be disgraced out for all her actions and comments. HRC is just behaving as US presidency is her ABSOLUTE right.

well, at least someone is willing to admit she is the candidate to beat McCain, and that my friends is the truth

You spoke your mind man, now you have been coached to say what you are saying to save your but

He's lucky, he's still in office..............................What does he know!

then i take back all the nice things i said about you.

That's it, she sound frustated and looks desperate.

For all you Clinton supporters who echo her ridiculous rhetoric that Obama cannot carry swing sates in the general election, do me a favor. Since Obama WILL be the democratic nominee, make sure you vote democrat and not against your own values, interests and children.

OBAMA '08

Hillary "The inevitable loser" will do anything to change a story. Her leadership style is either yes madam or no other way.

Booooo....He should have just stick to what he originally said. " DESPERATION".

That means bill clinton got to him.

Nick are you an idiot or a college student with a life that daddy pays for? if you add FL and MI the number to obtain is 2210 not 2026. DUH!

i'm just jealous, i wish i had her penthhouse on the east side of New York.

To be honest, frustration and desperation actually share the common phrases. Being frustrated couldlead to desperation while desparation could lead to frustration......it actually culd be the same thing, with different variations.....

Ms. Clinton was perfectly okay with Florida and Michigan not being seated until she realized that they're her only hope for winning the nomination. If the reverse were true, she would be completely opposed to seating those states. I don't have any respect for her...can we really afford to have a president who makes a habit of "misspeaking" to the American people??? That's just a nice word to use when you're caught in a lie.

She's frustrated, desperate, pi$$ed and dismissed.

His ears look a little red from the Clinton tongue-lashing, don't you think?

She probably is frustrated, but desperate fits, too.

governer,

get a life, is this how u r gonna run NY??!!

===bill clinton pointed a finger @ him===

This is a perfect demonstration of the effect of the media's so-called 'reporting.' (a.k.a. taking short phrases and even single words out of context) After delivering their carefully-worded speeches politicians have to waste days retelling the context of their speech to the press because one qualifying word was blown out of proportion by the media. And that's what they call 'news' these days.

I am curious. The reason that Hillary stays in is the millions who voted for her. But she and her supporters have no issue with asking Obama to drop out to to take a second seat...or that he is unelectable.

Doesn't he have millions of voters too?

Does his voters count lees than hers?

I don't understand the difference between her voters and thus her reason for staying in, and his voters and thus his unelectability.

A Kenneth M. Shame on your cheap uncouth shot at blind people! These are some of the most brilliant reliable and educated people.To target one for political incopetency on your part is just despicable.Polish up and listen to good advice,incase you missed one as a kid!!

Frustration sometimes lead to desparation....

Please don't disrespect Hillary. She has been standing with you.

Please... a correction what???? a week later. Please go away!

Gov Paterson..............You said it right the first time. Sorry you had to feel the wrath of the Clintons.

_________________________________________________
I'm concerned that you are even old ebough to vote considering the fact that you called CA & NY swing states.

Hate to break it to you but, even thought I think polls are pretty worthless 5 months ahead of time while a hotly-contested primary is still going on, Obama is actually doing better in CA than Clinton against McCain. He also does better than Clinton in MI, VA, NJ, NV, NC, NM, SC, IA, NM, IL, WA, OR, etc. according to your "polls". It doesn't matter how you get to 270..you just have to get to 270.

MI and FL should not have any deligates. Do not seat them. You can't change the rules half way thru the process. These states knew that their primary wouldn't count when they held them. Hil-Liar-y agreed to that at the time.

And stop all this nonsense of disenfranchisement! I don't see anywhere in the constitution the "right" of any citizen to be able to vote for how deligates to political party deliberations will be handled. A party organization could decide in the smoke filled back room who is going to be thier nominee. (Still can... isn't that what is going to happen here?)

Have all of you Hil-liar-y fanatics forgotten all the scandels of the 1990's. And what about the fund raising case in CA which the news doesn't seem to cover.

Never Hil-liar-y ... no more HillBillies in the White House.

I read the ongoing blogs or comments regarding Obama and Clinton and get the sense people want to throw the idea out that Obama can't win...Yet all along the discussions the Independent vote is not being talked about, or the Republicans who want change vote,...clearly many of them are prepared to vote fo Obama, will campaign for him, and are anticipating this choice. ..
I think once Sen. Clinton conceeds, which should be soon, then you'll see he has a much greater chance than some realize.

Hey Brian from Knoxville-

Hilalry does have millions of supporters, but Obama has more. Just look at the popular vote and you will see that. Of course don't count the elections that Hillary agreed to not counting. That being FL and MI. She signed the piece of paper that said so.

If Obama loses (which he won't) it will be because of the crying whining, incapable of seeing reality Hillary supporters!

Oh I see! Paterson is making another FUNNY!!!!

There goes his credibility.

Clinton and her supporters have no shame.

She will LIE,CHEAT,& STEAL to get what she wants.

Just as Governor Pattaerson has declared, all honest and party loving Democrats who want to win, will agree that Hillary is in the best and most qualified position to make Democrats win. All those whose reality is shrouded in refusal and denial to see the writing on the wall, will be responsible if they nominate Obama and he loses this election for us, because the whole world knows that this presidency is the Democrat's to lose.
Remove the hatred from your hearts, you men and women of God. Blind hatred is disaster for us all...OABAMA CANNOT WIN THIS ELECTION, TOO MANY HOLES HE WOULD HAVE TO MEND. HE MAY NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET IT DONE. SO IT HAPPENED IN 1980 WHEN THE REAGAN DEMOCRATS WERE BORN. SUCH RIFTS NEVER HEAL COMPLETELY...IT IS THE REALITY

What is going on? Why are we still talking about Hillary Clinton? Of course she is desperate, otherwise she wouldn't have acted like a 3 year old in demanding Michigan and Florida tallies, the same delegates she agreed in January shouldn't be counted. Fred and Brian: calm down, you can move to California now. Deeply concerned, wait for your GED scores to come in before you say Obama has no chance of carrying any of those states. In everyone of those states, excluding New York, (and Michigan and Florida because he wasn't even on the ballot,) Obama was down by 30% in polls two months before each of them. He closed all of those to 10% in all and even more so in others. To say Hillary is the better candidate is a joke! Because she and all her rabid fans are jokes! Go ahead, vote for McCain over Obama; I hope you weren't a fan of Roe v. Wade or were for a constitutional ban on gay marriage, because that's what your going to get if McCain gets his supreme court nominee, (which the next president will surely have.)

YOU HAVE TO SWING BOTH WAYS, LIKE HILLARY TO WIN SWING STATES!

it's a good arguement if you want hillary to win.

face it: she would be far less interested in Florida and Michigan if the tables were turned. That's nothing to be suprised about, seeing as Obama is relatively uninterested in them, but she, and her supporters, shouldn't try to steal an election under the false pretense of being fair – it would be fair if Obama's name was on the ballot, and he was allowed to campaign there. As that is not the case, it is dramatically unfair.

If you think otherwise, how about we go back and pretend Hillary's name wasn't on the oregon ballots, and give the whole state to Obama, in exachange for giving all of Michigan to Hillary. why wouldn't that be fair? How is it the hillary supporters are so concerned about the fairness to the hillary supporters in Florida and Michigan, but have no regard towards the Obama supporters in Florida and Michigan?

All these "dumb" predictions about Hillary are just that- "dumb". Luckily, Hillary is NOT running against anyone at this time. This race has been over a long time ago, and the BEST candidate has won.

This is like a student who is so pesky at the end of the semester in trying to convince me to "re-adjust" the grading scale: "F" to "B."

What has become of this nation, if we cannot accept simple rules of "fidelity, honesty, love...?" God have mercy on us and our children!

You had it right the first time David, don't be a flip flopper. Whatever adjective your choose, frustrated or desperate, equals Clinton the loser.

Desperate is the right word.....along with rude, frustrated, annoying, etc., etc., etc... ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

I am sick and tired of every statement by every person in the public arena being picked apart. Very tiring. The pundits have nothing better to do?

Poor Hillary she IS desperate if she couldn't back her own party, or attempted to manipulate, her own party. I don't think particular backers given a mouth by CNN have engaged in did anything good of late (I mean New York governor & LA mayor) We need a new start.

The bottom line, he spoke the truth. This reeks of Clinton elites having a "conversation" with this guy.

Look people, the fact is everything that comes out of this woman's mouth repeatedly gets refuted.

She lies and lies and lies, and somehow, her backers feel that people are being unfair when they call her on these lies.

Today it was the refuting of the polls, and some bloggers are claiming that CNN is all of sudden a "tabloid".

You cannot appease this woman. She will not be happy until she destroys this party or weasels her way into the white house!!

The race is close, but Obama is winning and Hillary can not catch up. She has the right to stay in the race, but she is doing the Democratic Party a great disservice. It has been a long time since the Democratic Party stood for something rather then just being a group of people against the Republicans. For those Hillary supporters that can not support Obama will find refuge at this time in the Republican Party. It is OK. We can win in November without those who no longer fit: such as Racist, Man haters...

Deeply Concerned in NH May 28th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

I am so tired of everyone debating this over and over…
AS WE ALL ARE
There is one KEY FACT that everyone is missing:
The democratic system of allocating pledged delegates is a JOKE!. Watching some of these caucuses that I see, it is very simple to skew those numbers. Additionally, since the democrats do not have a "winner take all" system, it is very easy to miss the fact that with Hillary winning all the large states, she would more than likely have a substantial lead in the pledged delegate count, if not have already clinched the nomination!! ACTUALLY THIS SYSTEM IS MORE FAIR IN THAT IT ALLOWS THE VOICE OF MORE VOTERS TO BE HEARD THAN THE PATENTLY WRONG ONE OF THE WINNER TAKE ALL SCENARIO USED BY THE REPUBLICANS. IF OYU RECALL WHEN MCCAIN WON THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION MANY REPUBLICANS WERE WISHING THEY HAD THE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF CHOSING AND THEY ARE CONSIDERING CHANGING IT NOW.

The crucial mistake that HRC's campaign made was not taking the caucus process seriously. Since Obama did, he got virtually ALL the caucus delegates, very damaging in this type of election. NO THIS SIMPLY MEANS THOSE WHO CAN BE BOTHERED TO COME OUT AND ACTUALLY WORK FOR THEIR CANDIDATE HAVE MORE OF A VOICE THAN THOSE WHO STAY IN AND WHINE, SEEMS FIAR AND JUST TO ME. IF OYU CANNOT BE BOTHERED TO USE SOME OF YOUR TIME AND MAYBE SOMEOF YOUR MONEY (LOSE A DAY AT WORK) TO SUPPORT YOUR CANDIDATE YOU SHOULD HAVE LITTLE VOICE IN SELECTING THE CANDIDATE SINCE IT IS VERY LIKELY OYU HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF THE CANDIDATES REAL PLATFORM.

We cannot ignore that Obama CANNOT win the so-called "swing states in November. He has ZERO chance of carrying Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, New York, Michigan, Ohio and Florida. If you cannot carry those states..YOU CANNOT WIN THE WHITE HOUSE! ACTUALLY HE IS LEADING MCCAIN IN PA AND OHIO RIGHT NOW. ALSO NY, CA WILL GO DEMOCRATIC NO MATTER WHO IS ON THE TICKET. HE HAS A STRONGER SHOWING IN TX THAN MS. CLINTON AND IS RUNNING ALMOST DEAD EVEN IN CO WITH MR MCCAIN WITH MS CLINTON A FAR THIRD, HE AHS A VERY STRONG POSSIBILITY OF CHANGING THE ELECTORIAL MAP AND WINNING THIS ELECTION

If the dems blow this thing in November, and we get 4 more years of a Republican administration, I will be sick. This should have been a SLAM-DUNK for the dems…it should not have even been CLOSE…not after the 8 years we have had to endure of Mr Bush THIS IS TRUE NOW IF YOU DEMS WOULD VOTE FOR YOUR CANDIDATE IN THE FALL THE DEMS WILL WIN, IF YOU SULK AND CRY LIKE CHILDREN THEY WILL MOST LIKELY WIN ALSO BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE.

Sorry about all the CAPS but I wanted to distingush my comments from the original posters comments

He said it right the first time and anybody with a IQ above 1 can see she is desperate.

For all of you Obama doubters, Most people said he couldn't win the nomination and he is so he can win and will win in November. If Hillary was such an electable person, she would be winning hands down. She has not been mistreated. She had everything going for her and she lost it because of a poorly managed campaign. If she cannot manage a campaign, how can she manage our country?

Hilary's stance on the FL and MI issue is the biggest example of how transparent she is. About how she's willing to say anything to get elected. About how this is all about her and not the party, or our country. People in Florida and Michigan, she doesn't really care about your votes. If she really felt those two states were getting robbed, then why wasnt she fighting the penalties put on them from the begining? She didn't she said she agreed with what happened. Probably thinking she was a shoo in for the nomination. Then when she found herself in a fight, and now behind.....all of a sudden "oh the poor people of Florida and Michigan". If she were the one leading Obama, she wouldn't care about those votes at all.

leon=HATER

It is a right, duty and privilege of EVERY American citizen, born or naturalized, to vote in the United States. The Rule should never have been made.

If for some unimaginable and demonistic chance that hillary the antiChrist gets the nomination, this democrat will definitely vote for McCain, if not , it'll be Obama all the way.

Well, guess the "Honorable" Govenor of NY got strong armed by the old party cronies and Bill and Hil's Thugs!!! WOW, this reminds me so much of so called "democracies" in countries that truly aren't. They are making a mockery of this!!! I for one am registered independent but was finally seeing hope in the democratic party. Now, not so sure if this is how it's done in that party.

Did this guy miss a marriage counsel meeting to go to this interview?

Hillary's set women back 20 years with this campaign.

Who's he afraid of? Having Hillary back in New York to push him around? Did someone leave a nasty reminder on the governor's pillow in the middle of the night?

Ah, Paterson. Grow a set, already!

David Paterson, I am disgusted by you, you two-faced hypocrite. I suppose this is like your reaction to New York State budget. First, you, probably correctly, went around NYS saying NY is in trouble, we have to hold spending, or better yet, reduce spending. Then you went ahead and allowed the increase beyond your recommendation with not a word. Go along to get along, right? What a spineless weakling you are!

Then Hillary, the best friend and best fundraiser most Dems will ever see. I guess Barack called and said you owe him, as a Black man. Sure you do. Black racism makes white racism look like child's play. But the Hillary fans were upset by your words, so, now that the damage is done, you try to retract them. What a Woss!

Hillary Clinton deserves your deep respect and support as a New Yorker, a Democrat, and, yes, as a Black man. She's done more for you and yours than you could repay in a life time. Take a hike.

this is one of the things i have always hated about washington and the politics. how can one family have so much power and everyone seem so afraid to cross them even to do the right thing. this is so sad for our country and i am so ashame to be a part of it. we need to vote to stop this madness and remember all the politicians who could not stand up to the clintons.

She is desperate and selfish. That is the truth.
