CNN

Will Nancy "my face doesn't move" Pelosi push HIllary out? Stayed tuned.

Watch the Dems endorse Obama and blow the election.

McCain will win, especially with Jindal or Romney on the ticket.
Obama cannot hold a candle to Jindal.

CNN, Please post this one comment.

This is a step in the right direction. They should make it so shortly after the June 3rd primary, someone should get the necessary number of delegates. And not get dragged on til the convention.

The funniest thing I find about this whole situation is how much Hillary and her supporters (even those posting on these comment sections) can't seem to accept the reality that she is most likely not going to get the nomination... despite all the "fuzzy" math being used when counting MI and FL... pushing to have MI counted as-is even though one of the candidates wasn't even on the ballot? How does someone rationalization something like that? How do any of you rabid-Clinton supporters see that as fair in any way?

And all you, "if my candidate doesn't get the nomination, I'm gonna vote for McCain" people, don't let the door hit you on the way out. I'd rather want people that can think a bit rationally in the party...

Sorry, I meant to addres my comments to margaret and others who have been misled by the Clinton spin machine.

Jane L,

So Hillary wants every state to vote and every vote to count? Then please explain why she wants the nomination to be based on the popular vote knowing full well that means that 4 caucus states will not be considered.

Oh right, because those states voted overwhelmingly for Obama.

Why can't everybody stop trying to end the process before it has time to run its course. Democrates created the rules and Democrates should follow their own rules. Anything less is hypocritcal and unethical

Obama reminds me of Bush- unqualified with a likeable but boastful, cocky, arrogant persona.

I did not vote for Bush, for those reasons either time- I won't vote for Obama.

I love the people that think Hillary will 'win' if she goes independent. She'd effectively split the vote with Obama and not take anything away from McCain and that would be your winner.

As bad as it's been, I really doubt the Clintons would rather have another Republican warmonger than a democrat. They'll be pushing hard for VP if anything.

United States of America,is a democracy Nation to a larger extent than any other we can think of.Strong arm tactics does not work here,and nobody is above the law.Euphoria bars people from intelligent,objective decision making.Give the two democrat contenders an equal opportunity to fight for the seat at the White House! Right now there is none.Ramming one favored contender in the peoples throats is going to fail miserably! Russia did better? Is it?

The longer this drags on the better. Todays news is most damaging to Obama and his church theology...

Please watch Recount
We are life long democrats, When we watch Recount our eyes with tears
We support our party strong
But 2008 primary we are very disappointed
If Hillary is not the nominee we will vote for Mc Cain because we are love our country
We are not mad at Barak Hussein Obama we are mad at DNC and main stream media

It's about time – bye-bye, Hillary. Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out!

Nancy and Harry, how much did Obama pay you?? I hope it didn't cost you your souls and integrity. By the way Nancy, is impeachment still off the table? How intelligent was that remark???

It's not the super's faults. Clinton should have left the race with a shred of dignity long ago. Now she's 20 million in debt, telling everyone she's the most electable.

The most electable person to me is the one who spent their money the wisest. We don't need more debt.

Can a Hillary Supporter please explain why they refuse to discuss why Hillary was 100% for sanctioning Michigan and Florida... but now that she falled way behind... she is 180 degrees the other way... the biggest politcal Flip Flop i have seen.

Nasty: that statement is the pot calling the kettle black.

Please end this now. I don't think America will ever be the same after this is all over.

For those that are unaware of the facts and the rules that have been around for many elections, it is not popular vote that wins or decides this election or the general election. Delegates and eventually electoral votes are the deciding factor.

By the way: Hillary was instrumental in destroying herself and her campaign all by herself. Not the media, not Obama, and not the Obama supporters could have come up with the deception, lies, and constant arrogance that this “woman” did. I also believe that they should have kicked her out of the race after she accumulated a $10M debt, now what is it over $20M. She will be great for the economy.

The process is at an end and one is ahead in pledged delegates – that person should be the nominee, period.

If you want another means to decide the nominee, then change the process during the next 4 years.

Obama MUST be the nominee for democracy to stand any chance (that is one person one vote). Supers must reflect this.

Yes! Yes! It is time for this nomination process to come to a peaceful conclusion. After the Democratic presidential nominee has been offically announced, we must come together as Democracts to form a united force againt the Republican spin machines. We must not be seen by the Republicans as being divided. Karl Rove is waiting for the go ahead in tihe wings to begin his dirty work. Mark my words.

Our nation would be greatly weakened by the continuation of the Bush administration in the person of John McCain. We must forgive each other and work together for the sake of our children, future generations, and ourselves. The world is watching and waiting to see what we will do and how we do it.

great, there will be no more contests next week. It is time to rally around the winner and start the real battle against the GOP.

HILLARY HAS NOT WON THE POPULAR VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My God People – Learn how to Count

Margaret, I don't know how to explain this to you, but I'll try:

A. The nominee is picked by delegates to the convention, not popular
vote

B. Hillary Clinton's initial strategy was to win the nomination by winning the pledged delegates. When that option was lost because of Obamas victories she said superdelegates should decide.

C. Now that she is behind in the super delegate category she is saying that despite the nominating rules, the popular vote is the only measure that matters.

D. Even if you give her all the votes cast for her in Florida and Michigan, (even though Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan) she still hasn't the popular vote lead in primary states without including votes to be cast in Puerto Rico. Please remember that Puerto Rico is not a state and none from P.R. will be able to vote in Nov.

E. Obama has won nearly all the caucus states, some which have large populations. Conveniently, the Clinton camp is not too worried about disenfranchising those millions of voters living in caucus states.

This sense of entitlement by Clinton and many of her supporters is offensive. They are acting and talking like the nomination was somehow stolen from them. The reality is that Obama ran a vastly superior campaign and will win the nomination as he deserves to under the rules.

This is very very simple.
1. BOTH candidates signed papers proclaiming neither would campaign there and the MI and FL votes WOULD NOT count.
2. You cannot count votes that were not supposed to count.

I am a DEMOCRAT pure and simple, Obama or Hillary but the fact is any human being using rational thought can see that Obama is the nominee. That being said, Hillary supporters who say they will vote McCain – What are you thinking?
McCain is totally opposite of Hillary so how could you ever vote for him?
Please vote rationally and don't get sucked in by all this hype.
DEM '08

Here we go again with the King and Queen of hypocrisy. All these Obamists want is to hand him the nomination no matter the opinion of the American voters. Voters should demand respect and remember when it comes time for them to be re-elected.

Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, etc., etc., etc., have no shame.

Stay tuned and alert!

The DNC is a DISGRACE – As a DEM – I am shocked by this so called "election" process! Talk about a "fixed" deal – let's Share the votes – These states can go first – just this time – These States Will NOT count – you are not welcome at the convention – you don't count -
Here are the "rules" get out Hillary – it's over – What a FRAUD.
And NOW they want the party to all "come together" – UNITE for the good of the party – WHY???????
We Will NEVER all come together – they have created this mess – and allowed obama to STEAL the nomination!
I'm sure the GOP will treat us GREAT!

The Obamies are all over this one.

COME ON ALL THAT BELIEVE OBAMA IS A TERRIBLE CHOICE FOR THIS COUNTRY.........

IF OBAMA WINS THE NOMINATION VOTE MCCAIN OR GO INDEPENDENT, DON'T SELL YOURSELVES SHORT, DON'T SETTLE THERE ARE OTHER CHOICES. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS TELLING US WHO WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR AND TELLING THE SUPERDELEGATES THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE AND NOT WAITING TO SEE WHO ACTUALLY WINS THE NOMINATION AT THE CONVENTION. DON'T SETTLE...........................

Let's hope they can accomplish more than they have in the House and Senate this year! Are two nincompoops better than one?

There is no reasonable explanation for uncommitted super-delegates to remain so ... leaving only one other reason for not committing and that to play politics! If they don't know by now ... they should never have been entrusted with the responsibility in the first place! It's time for the Clintons to also face reality ... they are not the future of the Democratic Party and there is a good number of people who simply do not like them.

this election was always hilliary's to lose and she did exactly that. she and her husband thought that the american people were going to give this to them no questions asked. you can see these people think they are entitled to get to the whitehouse without having to work for it. it just so happened that some young bi-racial guy decided that this was his time and now look what we are going through because the clinton's say it is her turn. this is so sad. and we all know that the democrats do not want to cross them. i guess we should just shut up and wait until they can work out a deal or they decide they have no power left. so sad.

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

1. THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE CAUCUS,SO EVERYBODY CAN VOTE BY THE MAIL OR BY THE POLLING PLACE.
2. THEY NEED TO GET RID OF THE SUPERDELEGATE AND LET THE VOTER HAVE THE FINAL SAY. NOT BY SOMEONE THAT MOST PEOPLE NEVER HEARD OF.
3. THEY NEED TO BOUNDLE UP THE PRIMARY,LET SAY 10 STATES FOR EACH CONTEST FOR 5 MONTH PERIOD RIGHT NEXT TO 1 ANOTHER. NOT 1 OR 2 PRIMARY AT 2000 MILES APART SO 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 NEVER AND EVER HAVE THIS KIND OF MESS THAT WE'RE HAVING RIGHTNOW.

VOTE HILLARY OR MCCAIN ONLY FOLK! NO OBAMA PERIOD!

This should go to the convention – just more crap fell out today on obama. What's wrong with Pelosi – jealous?

I remember the promise in 2000 from Bush1T.

"I want an armed forces that will fight and win wars. Not this peace keeping mission that is detrimental to moral."

Bush has not been able to do either.

And the list of unfulfilled promises goes on and on and on... anyone that votes republican has rocks in the head.

Obama lost me so long ago...let me count the ways:

playing the race card again and again.

cheating at caucus

falsely claiming himself a uniter- as he divided the democrats.

falsely claiming he could win back the Clinton supporters, but not vice versa. So arrogant.

Mocking and jeering Hillary with the Annie Oakley comments.

Brushing Hillary and her supporters right off his shoulder with his cocky, silly boastful arrogance.

Getting the superdelegates to abandon their job and role and support him. Oh, wait...that is playing the race card again.

One thing is for darn sure.
Hillary ain't winnin' it!
Sweet!

It's obvious Pelosi has had enough of Camp Shillary, and the wheels of Justice have begun to turn.

Losers exit, stage right.

But first, can she get President Obama a nice hot cup of coffee? Two sugars. Too sweet!

DrFill

The way things are moving now... slowly I am doubting Dean's laedership skills. He should have taken care of this matter long time ago.

This woman (and I will not even call her by name) is destroying the party and other party leaders are just watching without of doing anything.

There is a significant difference between Obama's so-called hard-ball politics in Chicago and what Hillary is doing now. Obama called for a STRICT ENFORCEMENT of petition rules, to the detriment of candidates who had gathered their signatures incorrectly, whereas Hillary & Co. are FLAGRANTLY DISREGARDING the very DNC rules she signed off on. Obama will try to strike a generous compromise on Saturday in order to move the process forward, but Hillary will want to take her fantasy about leading in the popular vote all the way to the convention. It really is up to the superdelegates to let us get on with beating McCain. Do it NOW, please.

Why don't they work together to impeach George Bush?

I heard Obama may take McCain's suggestion that he visit Iraq for the first time in 2 years. I heard he may also take McCain's suggestion to talk to Gen. Petraeus which of course he has not done.

Well, if all he's going to do is follow McCain's suggestions, why do we need Obamus?????

L.Nino...."Hooray for the Puerto Ricans! Not only do they have the best music and dancing – but they also recognize a great leader when they see one!"

Hahaha..no kidding, that is why they are not allowed to vote during General Elections. lol...Hillary supporters are so out of touch.

I remember the promise in 2000 from Bush1T

They are the two most worthless do-nothings in the ultimate do-nothing congress. The wimps can't get any other thing done, but they can meddle in this pathetic train-wreck of a primary. They and Dean are hopeless!

I will hold no one responsible but the superdelegates if our party is destroyed.

will New Mexico's TOM UDALL finally endorse Obama?

bloggers (aka Project Chaos stooge): i hope you arent under the age of 35, or that your kids arent, cuz YOUR'E GOING TO WAR, BABY, IF YOU VOTE MCSAME IN!!!!!!! better start acclimating to 100-plus temps with 80 pounds on your back CUZ THAT'S YOUR FUTURE (OR YOUR CHILDRENS' AND GRANDCHILDRENS').

everyone knows the REPUBLICANS/FASCISTS are the party of propaganda. i have been wracking my brain trying to figure out a way i can make money on your sheeple like the righties do, cuz you people believe EVERYTHING you're told!!!!

A QUESTION THE CLINTON SUPPORTERS SHOULD ASK

THEMSELVES, WHY THE CLINTONS DID NOT COME TO

THE AID OF OUR PARTY DURING THE CHADD COUNTS?

WE SHOULD NOT BE SCARED OR FOOLED INTO A VOTE.

BILL & HILLI HAVE NEVER HAD THE PARTY OR COUNTRY

BEST INTEREST AT HEART. THEIR MANY SLEAZY ACTS ARE

POSITIVE PROOF.

I love how the Billary supporters are now trying to undermine Pelosi as they know when the majority of Superdelegates pick Obama Hillary won't have a leg to stand on – STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES!

Look Hillary tried to black mail Pelosi saying her big fundraisers wouldn't support the DNC unless Hillary was picked – so don't get upset about this move!

It's over, you're living in a Hillary wonder land if you think she should have the nominee – she lies – spins and i'm sick of it –

Bring on Wednesday and the start of the General election -

KEEP FIGHTING HILLARY – MILLIONS VOTE FOR YOU – otherwise obama would of won by now – BUT he has NOT!!!
Nancy does not control the election – the PEOPLE DO – AND looks like Hillary has the Popular VOTE – you know the Will of the People!
OBama BLOCKED REVOTES in FL & MI – BUT the obama group does NOT want to talk about this FACT – only the "rules"!

Take this ALL the way to the convention! OR sadly the Dems will have lost – again!

Pelosi, this is not your job,...Jalousy? I am sure Hillary will win the general election as Independent

If Reid and Pelosi are so determined to end this why don't they declare their candidate before Saturday's debacle at the Rule Committee meeting.

@bloggers; you are a lie just like the one you support Hillary. So, you will never vote for Obama. Well, guess what, I will never for that mishap, Hillary Clinton. If, you are so in love with Hillary, you and her followers get her out of debt. LMAO

wh: if the DNC over turns the rules that have been put in place, will turn out the lights ,the DNC is really the RNC in DNC clothing. And if you go back and read the record Hillary is a Republican,,,talk about sheep clothing , she's the master of disguise....

Oh, now these two clowns think its time to end it! Where the hell were you when the party needed LEADERSHIP? I hope you enjoy your last terms in congress. People will remember you letting Hillary tear this party apart!

"Nomination" doesn't technically occur until someone gets a majority of delegate votes at the convention. Clinton could continue her campaign all the way to the convention, even if she hadn't won a single primary. I support Obama, but recognize the literal impossibility of "ending" this thing before the convention. No matter how many pledge delegates Obama wins . . . no matter what happens with FL, MI, and uncommitted super delegates . . . she'll plan to exploit any misfortune that might befall Obama between now and the convention.

And that's the real significance of her dark references to the death of Bobby Kennedy. Hillary Clinton is refusing to leave . . . because she's imagining something catastrophic happening to Obama. Can you imagine what the country will think of her remarks, though, if anything did happen to Obama?

The bloggers for Obama are very mean and vulgar and nasty.

They spew hate at the Hillary supporters- in a democracy- just for voting for a different and better candidate.

How can you say you believe in diplomacy and talking to our enemies?
You can't even be civil to fellow democrats, without whose vote Obama can't win in Nov.

I guess you are the same people who support greater benefits for vets, but are too selfish to buy into affordable universal Healthcare. Obama knows his followers well. He knows you will opt out- so he mandates it for children, knowing even PARENTS will be irresponsible and opt out if they can.

What kind of health care plan is that? A few insured will pay for the many uninsured.

You all are very hypocritical. Your beliefs are lofty and idealistic, but you don't practice what you preach. You believe in unity but have been nothing but hateful to other Americans who disagree with you.

She WILL take the DNC down with her, blaming Obama and disenfranchised BS all the way down. How very, very sad.

IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This bitterness cannot go on thru the summer. The democratic party will not be able to come together. We need time, lots of time to undo the damage the Clintons have done to Obama and the party and let everyone get behind OBAMA and take back the White House.

YES WE CAN! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN! OBAMA 08

I find it funny that Obama supporters want to "follow the rules" and discount FL and MI, but don't want to "follow the rules" and allow the Supers to wait until August.

Who cares what "Bad Face Lift" Pelosi and "Cut And Run" Reid thinks? Fact is it doesn't matter what the super delegates say now about who they are supporting, nothing matters until they cast their votes at the convention in August.

More of HRC trying to change the rules she agreed to? No, thank you, had enough of that the last eight years. As for that flat out lie that she has the popular vote, I've heard enough lies the last eight years too. HRC is just more of the status quo. I've been a Democrat for 50 years, and never been so disgusted with my own party. I'm tired of HRC and her cohorts trying to hold us hostage.

Well, they would like to cast their votes for the candidate most likely to win. Hillary Clinton. However coming out and facing the wrath of Deans dozen and the resounding chorus of being called racists has got to be daunting to say the least. If these were Obamas people they would already be out. Obama is limping to the finish line to say the least. Losing 8 of 11 contests by over a half million votes, you know he would have liked nothing better than to end this thing. The funny thing about this is that HIllary has the right to take this to the convention even if she was losing 2026 to 0. It is her right and for the good of this country, I hope she excersises that right. NO YOU CAN"T.

NoBAMA NO WAY

"Bloggers": I could care les whether you vote for Obama or NOT. He will RISE without your idiocy, WITHOUT your vote, WITHOUT your hatred. And to ALL similarly situated haters: How about that change–??!!! CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN; CHANGE YOU SIMPLY CANNOT AVOID!!

STEVE YOUR RIGHT OBAMA HAS WON WITH HELP OF THE NEWS MEDIA, THE PRESSUIRE ON THE SUPER DELAGATES . THE SAD PART IS WE THE PEOPLE HAVE LOST. AFTER OVER 50 YEARS OF BEING A DEMOCRATE I AM DONE. THIS IS THE WORST SIDE OF THE DEMOCRATE PARTY. THEY HAVE SUNK TO A NEWE LOW.

I have often wondered what Hillary's dry cleaning bill is for the thousands and thousands and thousands of double knit pant suits she has.

I thoughts we supposed to pick Candidate , who has good vision and he has plan to do different things in country then peoples who are already in power and have not acheved that yet.
Hillary does not have votes, delegates and does not have enough win states and she have been there for long time as senator and 8 years in whitehouse , and did not deliver we can pround off. – so we are not picking srong candidates per her to win, but we are going to pick candidates who has new ideas , which also likes by other party for country -eliminate war, medical coverage and better economy.

HILLARY say good bye and have your daughter get married soon and so you can take care of grand children-Obama will provide better future for your grand chilren

Regardless of who wins this nomination [cleary Obama] and the ensuing election for president, America is about to learn a great deal about herselft.

Whether we are really ready to move beyond race and gender. And whether we are ready to move beyond our own insecurities and prejudices and do the thing that is right for ourselves and our country.

We are about to find out if we are really ready to grow up and create a new kind of society. Or whether we will continue as we are now, divided by race, religion, and the politics of self interest.

Queen pelosi is so patronizing and obvious she's ready to disenfranchise the votes of millions. What has she done to have lower polling numbers than Bush in congress, she played politics with the Iraq war to win bigger in November while soldiers are dying, she really is patronizing, so Pelosi thinks she knows what's best for you. Time for a third party . To Hillary and president Clinton, please start a third party. The democratic left wing fashist will always hate you and they do not in anyway reflect the will of the people. Run Hillary and you'll win. Don't be dedicated to a party that is full of propaganda and hate. In the general election there will be 120 million votes alot more than the 35 million votes cast in the primaries.

Pelosi--forget it, we're taking this to the convention so the Credentials Committee can look at Florida and michigan.

Then if we don't like the answer, Hillary will declare as an Independent
and then what are you going to do??????

Please sink Hillary's ship. Her selfish ego will drag us all down.

Pelosi and Reid to the undecided supers hiding in the woodwork, "Come out. No one will harm you now...."

To be honest, no matter who's elected in November, it won't personally affect me. I am very fortunate. So I shouldn't really care about any of this. But, on behalf of those people who do need a government who will represent their interests and help them realize the American dream, I care deeply. It is simply making me sick to witness Hillary Clinton's lies and divisive tactics. She sure learned well from the GOP. She could be one of them.

The primary season is drawing to a close. Hillary agreed to honor the DNC's invalidation of FL and MI primaries before they took place. Officially, the results don't exist. Propogating falsehoods like "Obama was against a revote" is pure evil. FL and MI didn't want to spend the money for revotes and didn't have time to execute such a plan anyway.

Should Hillary somehow win the nomination, I will definitely vote for McCain. He at least in the not-too-distant past was a maverick, bucking his party and risking his reputation to get things done for the good of America. Hillary caves in to the GOP, panders to special interests, and above all lies to the American people. Although I despise the GOP and all it's come to stand for, I think McCain has more integrity and once in office would have the courage of his convictions to act. Hillary would just start planning her 2012 re-election campaign. Yuck.

You see a new pastor from Obama church badmouthing Hillary?

Who gives them the right to say what has to be done. The convention is where the nominee is chosen not from Nancy or Harry. This whole mess is their fault, they want the nominating process to be like this, they need to change this process and do the same as the GOP you win a state you get all delegates, if this was how it was done then this whole mess would be over a long time ago. They are so stupid they will not do anything to change this and this will happen again.

I am democrat and so sorry that I am, but this will be the last year and i am not even voting democrat this year.

Talking points, talking points, talking points. If you thought that the total votes were all that mattered, why weren't you all making this point before the primary season even started? Why weren't you making this point in every democratic primary election for the last 20-30 years. It is exceedingly disingenuous to be trying to make this point now. Especially when I live in Washington state and you don't think that our votes should count.

So now, the two most undemocratic elected officials are part of the Democratic Party, what an irony.

CALING TO PRESSURE TO SUPPORT IS A FIASCO.

WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! We are supposed to allow everyone to vote. I will support whoever runs against Pelosi and Reid. They deserve to be kicked out of the congress.

I will never vote for Obama!

HILLARY 08, even if she runs independently.

Hillary is the right choice!!! Bravo...President Hillary!!!

People keep talking about the popular vote and how Hillary should win the nomination because of her popular vote totals. Are people forgetting??!!! Florida and Michigan democrats decided to go against the grain and hold their primaries early fully knowing what the consequences would be. Both Obama and Hillary agreed to disregard those 2 states and move on. Now that Hillary is in the hot seat she is trying to reverse what she agreed to. This is non sense that we are still debating all this in late May. By the way, Hillary is NOT leading in the popular vote, Obama is. Again, Florida and Michigan DO NOT count as agreed to by BOTH candidates. And last time I checked, with both the primary and general election....the popular vote does not count. The nomination is not dependent upon the popular vote but the DELEGATE count. Hillary is trying to pull anything she can to win. Are we supposed to keep changing the rules for this loser who can not bow out respectfully? Obama WILL be the next president and he will do away with this type of non sense.

Now – take a vote to get the lying Clintons out of DC FOREVER !!!!!!!

Send 'em to WV, KY, or Puerto Rico – no gov't benefits !!!!!!!

If someone would be so king to respond to my question by email I would appreciate a response. Telling the public that we can post and eliminating us when we are not favoring a particular person is unfair. This started sometime ago. I noted that you now are more open to letting bloggers respond to both sides. Response please?

Obama supporters are just plain nasty and ugly.

Always demeaning and insulting fellow Americans who prefer a different candidate.

Is this the kind of diplomatic dialogue you intend to have with our international enemies? One where you call them ignorant, stupid, uninformed, inbred racist morons everytime they don't agree with you?

Good luck with that hypocrisy.

The Obama bloggers are paid for by Obama's well organized and sleazy campaign- that is why they blog multiple times on every single blog.

Unfortunately, in the end, it is not propaganda but votes that count.

I will never vote for Obama.

This is my first blog EVER
*******************************

yes they are paid – it is like a 21st century paper route – judging by the maturity level of the blogs they post....

Control freaks. Stop meddling. Your persistent freaking-out is damaging the party. Let it play out – it will be over soon enough.

The question is : Who are the superdelegates holding out
The question is: What are the superdelegates afraid of by giving their vote
The question is: When are they going to get some guts and vote
The question is: Where are these votes going
The question is: Why are the superdelegates being held hostage?

The question now should be: how to get rid of the superdelegates for any other rounds in the future, after this election.

Hillary suporters say "Hillary or McCain" you guys know why? Because they're the same.

Raz

PELOSI AND HARRY REID CONFIRM MY FEELINGS. EVERY INCUMBENT RUNNING I WILL VOTE OUT. I WANT TO BE HEARD AND REPRESENTED WHICH NEITHER IS HAPPENING IN THIS LATEST PELOSI AND REIDS MOVE TO PRESSURE THE SUPERDELAGATES. WHERE IS AMERICA GOING???

Finally! Can we please focus on the general election.?

to all of you apparently illiterate hillary fiends. Please reread the article. They said two weeks, which is AFTER all the primaries are over.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid need to DO THEIR OWN JOBS!!!!!!
As a woman who is and has always supported women as they reach positions of responsibility and visibility, I have also held these women (and myself) to high standards.

In every category Nancy Pelosi fails!!!!!!!!She is a horrible example of the "peter principle" a person who has outreached their own capabilities.

Eastwood said it best...."it pays to know your limitations".......

Her apparent dislike of Hillary Clinton is pathetic. She and the other left Dems have NOT done what the voters sent them to do in 2006. They have soft-pedaled the Bush crowd and played "nice" with the money people instead of taking them to task.

Look at the gas prices.......................Where is OUR Congress in all this?

NP should be ashamed of herself. She is a disloyal, greedy person who acts as though she arrived where she is without the sacrifice of millions of women.

Her support of BO is telling. She is one of those people who only feels important when everyone else is dumber. Lucky her – Barrack fits that bill – slick but not smart. She couldn't hold a five minute conversation with Hillary Clinton – she is SO outmatched.

If American voters let them, the Dems and this crooked Congress will have us all in even greater jeopardy.

Go home Nancy. Clean up your own house – do your own job before you judge another person's efforts.

The choice of Obama has already been made by the people. No matter what Hillary said he does have the popular votes, pledged delegates, super delegates etc...

I have lost all respects for the super delegates. It's obvious that Sen. Obama should/will win the nomination but yet, they cannot decide and make up their minds. Are they that studid? If they are holding out just to give Clinton respect, that's a bunch of bull crap and they know it. Typical politics as usual. The super delegates are playing the "power" game and I don't see any reason for that since Sen. Obama will come out on top. We need to change this policy/procedure of the super delegates because they shouldn't matter when it comes to picking our candidates, it should be the American people.

Thanks Madam Speaker for doing this...

On the other hand, can you also work with the DNC to make sure that those Super delegates that don't make up their mind by Tuesday should be strapped of their Superdelegate status (this includes Al Gore)

blogger who blogger what blogger ha SO

It not like ther saying you must pick Obama. There saying to pick Hilliary or Obama. I think this is smart we do not needed to go to the October. Get ready to back either Obama or Clintion but it looks like Obama if you go by states won, Popular vote(within the rules),most delegates won(the only thing that should count anyway becaue these are the rules). I just stated facts.

This coming from the same idiots that caused the problems in the first place.

Pelosi and Reid have done NOTHING with their majority in congress!!! Why would anyone want to listent to these two boobs?

Obama got this far on speeches, spin, celebrity bandwagon, media bias, corrupt actions of the DNC and Hillary bashing.

He will not win the election.

It is not like the caucus states where a few hundred are equal to millions of votes.

The Obama propaganda is not working on many intelligent, free thinking adults.

The superdelegates should of ended this a long time ago.They made this whole thing drag out now Hillary and Bill are dellusional.
DEMOCRATS FOR OBAMA"
OBAMA 08"

I believe in leadership by example. Is there a law that says the Speaker and the Senate Majority leader should not endorse a candidate before the elections? If not, then Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid better come out and make their endorsement.
When people like Al Gore is yet to endorse, how do you expect more junior ranking SuperD's to risk it all.

Well, since it is totally apparent that Pelosi and Reid are supporting Obama – I hope they can support him when him and the DNC get the loss in November. Another racist Reverend from Trinity....Obamas' same church – ya know the one he cannot give up?

I hope the people of Montana, South Dakota and Puerto Rico send a strong message to the DNC, Pelosi, Reid and Senator Obama – we want Senator Clinton to be the nominee!!! She can beat McCain in November and that is what counts. She will have the popular vote. Let's not do what the Republicans did in 2000 and ignore the popular vote. Senator Obama can wait another four years!

I have printed my blogs each time and noted that at the end of the closed my comments are removed automatically or just not posted. I would appreciate a response please.

This race has been tiring. Now that by June 3rd of 2008, all states would have voted so there's no more excuses to keep this primary race going. The Democrats need to unite as soon as possible so we can focus on McCain.

I agree that next week superdelegates will have all the information they need to make their decisions. Whomever they choose and whatever sways them, nothing is going to be accomplished by haggling over it all summer.

Hmmm Both of these two are for Obama. Any surprise that they want to close the election...Sounds like some of Obama's tricks(use the rules to ruin your opposition) from Chicago. He managed to eliminate three rivals and in reality ran unoppossed. Oh well. It is all in the works. He was the choice of the super liberals of the party from the start. Forget that the last time we won it was with a moderate(Clinton) who brought back some of the Reagan Dems. Go ahead and drink the Kool Aid kids. When you wake up and find that you have been taken in by yet one more slick politician don't come crying to us. We will lose the White House because a bunch of men that tried to run or did run and lost are looking for jobs in an Obama administration. Just don't try to blame it all on Hillary...All she did was tell the truth about Obama. You all were too under the spell to see it. Look forward to four more years of a Republican Pres. Thanks to Obama's premature grab for power and your own need to feel good about yourselves.

The Obama bloggers are paid for by Obama's well organized and sleazy campaign- that is why they blog multiple times on every single blog.

Unfortunately, in the end, it is not propaganda but votes that count.

I will never vote for Obama.

This is my first blog EVER

Come on folks, it isn't this difficult. Barack has won the race. Now we need everyone in the party behind him. That includes Hillary and Bill (well maybe not Bill). Hillary needs to become Barack's strongest supporter, advocate and, where appropriate, mentor.

Can we please get started on the campaign next week? Please?

Do we not see what is happening here? The same people that want to "not" steal an election.

As if the superdelegates weren't already feeling enough pressure! Don't you think that superdelegates, knowing the nature of the contest right now, would have already made a decision if they wanted to? Is there a rule that says they need to decide before Pelosi implodes?

In the words of Jimmy Carter, that chick needs to give it up and give it up pronto!

OBAMA ‘08 & ‘12

JES WE CAN jes we can JES WE CAN jes we can JES WE CAN

I really think its a misstep to end any competition before its over. You may think it's over but it shouldn't be. Take it to the convention floor! That's what the convention is for-to select the Democratic Nominee–at least it used to be the reason for the convention.
Pelosi doesn't want it 'perceived' that the SUPER DELEGATES are overturning the PEOPLES choice; but they do it all the time. The superdelegates don't vote the Peoples Choice, they vote their choice and that's not what they're supposed to be all about.
So far the comments here have been for Obama-do you people really know who he is??? I won't start attacking him, but I don't like what I've found out about he people who shaped his life. We don't need a possible radical in the White House..... Most people will be voting for McCain if Hilliary is not somewhere on the ballot-including my father a die hard democrat.

To coin a phrase-JUST DO IT!

"Didn't both Pelosi and Reid state that the superdelegates should not overturn the people so will they be overturning both their states wishes if they endorse Obama and make their statements therefore hypocritical?"

Nope...Pelosi always said she would vote for the candidate who had the majority of pledged delegates!!!

Go Spurs! Sure you're down 1 game to 3, but you've got more playoff experience, more rebounds and less turnovers than the Lakers. You deserve to win the Western Conference!

Clinton got screwed and Obama was given all advantages.

The media played their part to boost Obama and to trash Clinton.

Millions of us will protest that kind of fixed election.

We will never vote for Obama.

How nice for the Dem Party Hacks to get together.
They should do it more often......IN PRISON!
Stealing Votes in a Democracy is a CRIME!
McCain will beat the pants of that FRAUD OBAMA..

OH.....COMMENTS CLOSED AGAIN.....CNN?

This DemParty is getting me sick... They are in such a rush to push for their guy BO.. It is sickening as well, that BO is being treated as the candidate by the media, including CNN, wiithout it being official. This is not finished. Some supers, if they have the courage, will change to HC, who by the way has more votes and who can win in November. The DNC is running this election...not the people... The pretending that they are following the will of the people is ridiiculous....

WHAT HAPPEN TO THE VOTERS VOTES???? NOW WE HAVE PELOSI AND HARRY REID PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE SUPER DELAGATES. WHERE HAS DEMOCRACY GONE??? THE DNC SCREWS UP AND THE VOTERS GET SHORT CHANGED. NOW WE PELOSI AND REID MIXING IT UP SO MORE. YOU TWO HAVE PROVED TO THE PEOPLE THE VOTERS DO NOT COUNT. WHAT EVER HAPPEN THAT EVERY VOTES COUNT. FLORDIA AND MICHIGAN DON'T'. WHAT A MESS YOU MAKE WHEN AT FIRST YOU TRY TO DECEIVE , THIS IS NOTHING NEW EXCEPT YOU TWO COMING OUT AND ADMITTING IT. YOUR GOING TO LOSE TO THE REPUBLICANS IN NOVEMBER .

It was about time our democratic leaders show some back bone and speed up the inevitable. OBAMA 2008

We've known for some time now that this race is going to come down to the Superdelegates, and I think it's important that they publicly endorse a candidate as soon as possible. I'm sure that many of them are watiing to see what the DNC is going to do about MI and FL, but after that is decided there is absolutely no reason why any of them should be holding out. The process is almost over. Everyone knows who the candidates are. Everyone knows where they stand on the issues. It's time for us to put this primary season behind us and start focusing on the GE. The longer the Democratic Party goes without a nominee, the more difficult it's going to be to pull off a victory in November. There's no reason whatsoever why this needs to go to convention when things could just as easily be settled the first week of June.

The only health care plan I'll vote for is Clinton's. It is universal.

Obama's plan caters to the irresponsible and has them able to opt out, while the other Americans foot the bill for their health care.

Even Obama realizes his followers are immature and selfish. He does not trust PARENTS to Insure their children. That is why he mandates it for kids.

He lies when he says he believes people will voluntarily buy into it. If so, WHY NOT mandate it?

Hooray

Time to take on the war mongers and elitist!

No more tax breaks for the richest 10%

Go get em Obama and Co.! Go get em for America!

Many of the undeclared Superdels are worried about the fallout from the Clintons after they declare, but they need not be. The Great Clinton Regime has finally come to an end. Their next chapter will have to be written in another way. Hats off to their past service and accomplishments, but it's time to move on with change. Obama will beat McCain in a landslide.

Dems!!!!!!

Superdelegates should not be forced to support a Democratic nominee. Superdelegates should wait and support a candidate they firmly believe will win in the general election.

Hillary has really turned ugly in failing to put country & party first. I'd still take her as pres – orders of magnitude better than McBush. She may destroy the dems shot at the WH. Obama's problem in a general is he's black in a racist nation and he has some bad baggage.

IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT SHE WILL DROP OUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO OBAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS TO BAD IT HAD TO COME DOWN TO THIS SHE HAS NO SHAME!!! OBAMA WOULD HAD DROP OUT WHEN THE MATH SAID HE COULD NOT WIN BUT NOT THE CLINITON IT IS ALL ABOUT THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND IT IS A SHAME SHE PICK THIS WAY TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let the remaining contests play out after that there is no reason at all for the Super Delegates...oops excuse me "Automatic Delegates", to declare and bring this to an end. I know Hillary is making noise that she'll take this all the way to the convention, but the Democratic party cannot afford that, we need to get the party unified and get ready for McCain in November. If she does insist on dragging this to the convention it will completely prove my point that she began her 2012 bid for the White House shortly after dropping 11 contests in a row. Lets face it;if this were anyone other than Hillary Clinton the pressure to at least suspend her candidacy would have begun back then. I think the remaining super delegates, oops there I go again "Automatic Delegates" are only waiting to the end of the primaries out of respect for Hillary and so her supporters can't say that they pushed her out of the race. I don't think they have any intention of over turning the results of the primaries and caucuses.

My comments were professional however, every time I attempt to participate in any CNN blogs I find that I am blocked. Is there some bias here?

Hillary/McCain 08

No Obamanation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In whose interest? Any "RUSH" to a decision is to get Obama quickly situated and ignore the wish of Voters.

Hillary has now completely lost the support of her party, her integrity, her professional future and her mind. I refer to myself as a femist when asked the question, I have a degree in Women Studies from a major university, yet I find it difficult to find any reasonable or coherent explanation for her bahavior other than a complete lack of touch with reality...

The rules don't apply to the Clinton's. Never have, never will. We need to end this after Tuesday (50% of the Delegates, split 50-50 between each candidate.) Then superdelegates must step up and be "SuperEnders"

Obama is an opportunity for America to show the world what type of country it is. It gives a message to the world's dictators who kill their own people but it is America where the son of a man from Kenya is running for the highest office in this country. The Obama victory itsefl is an indication of America's moral leadership in this world. Democratic party has the historic opportunity to sell American values to the rest of the world.But still there are some craps in this country who want to go back instead of marching ahead. Almost after two hundred years of our revolution, if we still talk about race, gender, region and religion, this would be nothing but the degradation of own values that the foudiing fathers laid down.

No Clinton, and this lifelong democrat leaves the party.

Obama has done nothing for his country- THAT is the reason he had NO name recognition at the start.

Obama is fast tracking himself to the White House- by cheating just like he has won his other campaigns.

It is time for the superdelegates to pick a candidate, either by listening to their constituents or their own conscience...We the votes have had to make our choices know...it's about time they do to...good, bad or indifferent...pick a team and go with it!!!!!!!!!

Oh-Well I guess we should go ahead and disenfranchise roughly half of the electorate. That is a great plan. You Obama supporters should really think before you bash HRC. I for one am finding it harder and harder to ignore and that is making it more and more likely that I will not vote for your guy. Might I remind you that you will need her supporters if you plan to win. Talk about the politics of change I think not. You vilify a public servant and it is all personal. Never do I read here a clear argument against her staying and fighting as long as she wants. All I hear is what a bad person she is. Politics of change I think not. These two should stay out of it and you Obama supporters should start using your brains. Your guy will be at best a mediocre president. What happen when the shine wears off and you have to defend is half measures and lack of experience?

That's great news. We have GOT to stop the inter-party bickering and get on to the general election. And to all of you who say that you will vote McCain if your candidate doesn't win.... we have got to stop being bitter and childish. Regardless of whether Hillary or Obama is the nominee, This is our COUNTRY we're talking about here. The candidates are so similar on policy that it is shameful to give the Republicans another term because the Dems can't stop acting like children.
We have got to beat McCain and it will take all of us working together.

all of these hillary supporters foaming at the mouth because she not winning & threatening to vote for mc cain? are u people really that demented not to mention mindless? a vote for mc cain is a vote for a bush 3rd term! & we all know we currently have a chimpanzee in the oval office for president. if any of u hillary supporters you would go w/the lesser of 2 evils rather then your childish bitterness

It is good they are working on this but Reid should really be calling the shots anyway. Pelosi and Clinton both need to get back home where they belong. I'm sure their house is a mess from neglect. Must be layers and layers of dust

It's about time someone steps in to end this Clinton circus...

It's a little late in coming isn't it. You have a candidate that played by the rules. He expected to run a race and at the end whoever had the most delegates would win the nomination. Now we have to consider the popular vote? Worry about hard working white voters? Seat delegates from States that were not supposed to count? Everyone agreed in the beginning to a certain set of rules and now you have HRC wanting to break the rules and splitting the party. You're about 4 weeks late lady.

I wouldn't trust Pelosi or Dean to run a hot dog stand. The way the Democrats have handled or should I say botched this whole nominating process is making me into an independant. All this crap about delegates, superdelgates, primaries not counting, the mix between caucases and primaries, some states having their primaries early and getting waivers, the way most of this seems rigged is turning my stomach. At least the Republicans have a somewhat fair nominating process. Whether Obama or Clinton gets the nomination it will seem unfair to their respective supporters.

Thank You. Thank You Thank You

In any type of competition someone wins and someone has to lose.

When you follow the rules and abide by the rules. It should lean toward the person who did follow it to the letter. You cannot change it once the game has begun. If this is the case then the person who did follow it to the letter should be awarded accordingly.

By the way Hillary was the one that said that it would not count anyway until she started losing. Now she wants to be a crybaby, throwing tantrums instead of being an adult.

With the Michigan and Florida delegates up in the air, I hope that the DNC will do the right thing. Why have rules if the Clintons or any other future candidate can just break them? I know my feelings are redundant, and many people write the same thing, but is this just corrupt politics and more of the same? Please tell us when it is over. I feel like I'm in my car with my grandkids and hearing,"Are we there yet?!" ...Pelosi get it together!

Pelosi and Reid want to disenfranchise voters in MI & FL by back room politics? Don't we Dems need there support in Nov.? We need a fair and democratic end game, not rigged election results by these dictators. My proposal is: poll Democratic voters in MI & FL for the delegates to select a VP nominee who will broker the tie, and announce at the convention. It is fair, impartial, inclusive, unified, and no one gets upset. ~Stephen L. Rush

They should have done this long ago. Why should it take these superdeligates so long to make a decision? After all... if anyone knows these candidates best it's going to be their peers. They should be the first ones to be able to decide who they want to support.

Obama will loose. Enjoy him now...this time next year he will be washing cars for a living.

Nancy Pelosi is an uncommitted superdelagate. If she wants to get this ball rolling, she can start with....I don't know....HER.

If they didn't want to wait until August to find out the nominee, then why did they decide to have the convention in August?

Look out, here come the Obamies.

Perhaps now is the time for Pelosi and Reid to lead by EXAMPLE?

Come on you two, back Obama and be done with it. Using the CNN delegate game, if Obama wins 50% in each contest next week he only needs 2 super delegates to meet the magic number of 2026!

Amen. Whomever each delegate decides to support, it is in the best interests of the party and the country to express her or his preference soon and subsequntly to unite behind whomever earns the party's nomination. Just keep three words in mind: Iraq, Supreme Court. Enough with the hysteria and hyperventilation on either "side". And enough of the name-calling, all you faithful. Iran. Supreme Court.

How dare you not allow Hillary the full amount of time to make promises to, bribe, or get dirt on the super delegates to ensure their backing!!!

Beware of Hillary, beware!!!!

Pelosi, Reid and Dean

They have lost my donations and my vote !

They have been in charges since 2006 and gas prices have doubled.

They ran on ending the war in Iraqw and sat on their hands.

They are tring to pick a candidate in the middle of a primary campaign.

Enough!

I am voting for McCain !

Whatever!
No Hillary vote McCain...

Good leadership thy name is Dean, Pelosi and Reid. Do not let Hillary claim that leadership was unfair. You let it run through to conclusion and now make the idiots still sitting on fence to make a choice.

I am not sure about this nomination process at all..dragging on lazily like we are in stoneage..Every state will have voted by June 3 and why the hell the convention is in August, why not atleast early July..

Why are the SDs holding on to their vote ...are they unable to decide..there have been more than 20 debates and everything talked about except what deodorant's the candidates use !! I am sure they've made their choice in their minds..COME OUT WITH IT..NOW !! End this madness.

DON'T BURN OUT YOUR CANDIDATES BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION

BTW : Go Obama 08 !!!!!

Yes, this is the right decision

Trying to appease Hillary by allowing her a more dignified exit will just make her stay longer. This is the only way to end this race...
I believe the rules committee and Obama need to know that Hillary doesn't care much about the party. She just needs to be pushed out

The DNC needs to put a leash on Billary. She is out of control.

So, the Democrats don't believe in free choice.

So the gutless wonders are finally going to do something. Too bad they refused to impeach Bush and Cheney and allowed the biggest and most unprecedented power grab in history by a sitting US President.

Well, if they want to get any legislation enacted they better step up and get a Democrat elected president.

Wow! Thank you both for your coordinated effort on this one!! Very necessary and about time that someone stood up!! We have to have a united party and if you have to step in and get it together, then so be it!

The superdelegates have obviously been pressured to no end. Reid and Pelosi need to wait until all the states have voted. For crying outloud, I'm beginning to think Sen. Clinton is the only rational person in the democratic party!! She simply wants every state to vote, and their votes to count.

see what happens when obama takes a day off!!! hardly anything interseting to report.june 4th history will me made.yes we can

Hillary wants 100% of the Michigan Delegates seated for her and 0% for Obama. Wow.

Pelosi is uring them to back Clinton or Obama. So please Clinton supporters do not come out saying Pelosi if for Obama. She has never declared who she's for and has never done anything to lead you to that conclusion. She's always said she wants all of the votes counted. she's also said she does not want the supers to overturn the pleged delegates which is the way of the system and the voice of the people. She does realize Obama has the majority of pledged delegates which Clinton can not over take him on which is why the push is coming now. But the push is still neutral.

It is about time! Anyone who thinks that the democratic party is not divided is in serious denial.

The Clinton's do not care about anything but winning this nomination at any and all costs. It's a shame that their antics are being adopted by some people. I continue to have hope that good will prevail.

Obama 08/12

Finally some signs of life and leadership from the Democratic Party!

Good.

I hope their efforts produce some results.

This really needs to end in a hurry if we hope to win in November. Enough is enough! We are all Democrats...let's rally behind Barack and take back our country!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope the Supers know that a TON of women will never vote for Hillary after the campaign she's ran and also because she has NO morals.

Fabulous it's time to wrap this up and end, hillary's attempt to hijack the party,

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

THERE IS NO REASON TO HAVE DNC RULES, IF THEY

CAN'T BE APPLIED TO EVERYONE INCLUDING THE

CLINTONS DIRT MACHINE & THEIR LOBBYISTS.

NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR.

I think it is about time. As long as they don't pressure them to pick one candidate over another, the superdelegates need to make their decision whoever they may support.

Hooray for the Puerto Ricans! Not only do they have the best music and dancing – but they also recognize a great leader when they see one!

Please understand, everyone, that a nasty floor fight at the convention GAURANTEES a general election loss. Party leaders ARE VERY concerned about this. Their concern is legitimate as a loss on election day translates into lost seats in the House and the Senate. This is not about rushing Hillary out. This is not about crowning Obama. It is about applying the rules that many on Clinton's campaign even helped to write, and applying them evenly. IT IS ABOUT POSITIONING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO WIN IN NOVEMBER. A floor fight is counter-productive to that end.

it really is as simple as that.

THANK YOU ... please let's get this over with!!!!! ... and for Puerto Rico's' primary – pls let us not let Hillary insult our intelligence – there is a lot of darkness... to hillary & bill and instead of gracefully calling it quits already, they are trying to pay their campaign debt at somone else's expense – Hillary, just pay up with your own money and have some dignity & ..GO! Barack Obama is the transparent and very best candidate. PUERTO RICO. ...DO NOT ACCEPT THIS PANDERING AND PLEASE LET'S SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!!! OBAMA '08

It's about time. They really need to scrap the whole superdelegate system to avoid this problem in the first place...and especially the weasels that wait until the very last minute to announce voting intention.

I already praised Pelosi earlier, now I will do the same for Reid. Thank you Reid!

If these superdelegates were so super they would have decided on a candidate long ago. By prolonging this race and staying uncommitted they are destroying the very party they represent. It's foolish and gutless. I hope Pelosi and Reid sends that point across.

Here we go again!

This is why I have left the Democratic Party and will vote for "more of the same" in November. The Democratic Party does not represent this former (35 years) member anymore. Hillary Clinton or John McCain in November

I really hope they won't overturn the results.

Raz

Time to unite the party. There is no sense keeping Hillary in the race.

Keep it up. The move of lifelong dems to unaffiliated status ig growing bigger by the day.

Its about time, they should have done this weeks ago...the Clintons are continuously degrading the presumptive nominee....Myabe someone should ask why Hillary has not raised any issues in her campaign of the past few weeks, and has solely focused on discrediting Obama as the potential nominee by continuously hammering on the fact that he is unelectable, when the polls clearly show that he is! He is leading McCain on popular vote etc...I could see if McCain was leading in the measurement...but this is just pure outright slander at this point, completely devoid of any relevant issues ot the campaign...I am dismayed by the fact that Obama has let her carry on like this, and really has not put up any defense to her and Bill's continued misrepresentation of the facts,,,,,I gues the DNC has finally had enough, I am sure they are pleased with staged protest in front of HQ as well.....The Clintons are out to destroy Obama, plain and simple, they are not stupid people, they know they cannot win...as long as they are granted a pulpit unchallenged, they will continue...HE NEEDS TO FIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!!

this has gone on toooo....long, and it's not doing any one in this country any good....Really, I believe that rest of the people have already spoken....and now the party insiders should make a firm decision. NOW!

As a former San Franciscan and native of California, I can only say how ashamed I am that Pelosi is so jealous of Sen. Clinton's accomplishments, Pelosi has to try and end what has been a valiant Clinton campaign. Shame on you, Nancy. Rock on, Hillary!

tt's so cool... Democrats need to get this long primary over & direct attention on winning in november. We really can't afford another Bush term.

I'm glad to see Democratic leadership finally cracking the whip on these uncommitted delegates. If they are unable to make a decision at this point, maybe they should give their positions up to someone who can.

I'm sure Pelosi and Reid have been calling, and so have the Clintons and Obama. It must be pretty scary, politically for these people right now. Obama is in the lead and should be backed, but the Clintons are probably threatening all kinds of political fallout (it's their way of doing things) to those that go to Obama.

Still, all that being said, it's time to commit. Get off your butts, and say something, superdelegates!

ARE WE SURE HILLBILLI IS NOT WORKING FOR THE RNC.

ORE WORSE FOR AN ENEMY WE YET DON'T KNOW.

SHE & HER LOBBYISTS ARE THREATENING EVERYBODY

DAY IN & DAY OUT. WE NEED THE DNC TO STAND UP

TO BOTH.

That's so admirable of our party leaders, making the calls, getting people to commit and presumably save the party in the process.

Question: What possible good are they looking to accomplish by saying "Do as we say, not as we do. For while we want you to tie your career to one or the other candidate, we in fact will be waiting until it is absolutely safe to wrap our arms around the winner." If their intentions are so pure, why have they not done their own due diligence. Why won't they come out and say "This is the man (or woman) who is most fit to lead our nation"?

Well Hillary has WON the popular vote, so Superdelegates better not vote against that. The people have spoken and they want Hillary. The superdelegates have fed into the Obama craze and they seriously need to think. Hillary has won the states needed to win the general election and the swing states. The superdelegates need to stop voting against the will of the people and vote for Hillary and that includes you Pelosi. Hillary won your state.

It's about time. I was asking myself if the Democratic party was owed by the Clintons.
They doing whatever they won't, sending some thoughless pundits on TV with no sens. They are very shameless
She can run as Independant if she wants.

Well, the Clintons can't complain about CNN's coverage of Hillary and company. He hasn't a real chance in the world and yet CNN is trying to make out that it's a close race. Whatever happen to morality of the news? CNN is NOT objective at all. They are campaigning for Clinton as if, and others have said this, "CNN stands for the "CLINTON NETWORK NEWS". Tis sad. OBAMA will be the next President of these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. What a refreshing soul he is. GO OBAMA because OBAMACAN!!

About dang on time.

Thank you! I don't think I can stand this until the convention.

I suspect that they ARE pushing to get this over with, anyone who knows anything about politics knows this needs to end pretty quick after the last votes are counted. I also suspect that it will end pretty quickly after June 3rd. Those superdelegaqtes who have been waiting to speak are TRYING to let this go through all its paces before decideing the victor, give everyone their hearing. I also suspect they arleady know who they are going to go for but by allowing this to work out it removes any possibility of people crying foul after it is over. (Lets say that they came out today and gave the election to Mr. Obama, gave him the 2026 votes needed to win, Ms. Clinton would call foul because FL and MI had not been decided, she is already using a different figure than the DNC If the supers gave it to Ms. Clinton before MT and SD have a say they will effectivilly disenfranchis those states, where Mr. Obama is expected to do well, so the Obama campaign would have an arguement that the selection was faulty). By waiting until Fl and MI and all the primaries are complete the politically savvy supers ensure that there can be no crying afterwards, especially if they OVERWHELMINGLY select one over the other (say by over 100 delegates total) That would end any discussion of taking it to the convention.

THIS KIND OF STRONG ARMED TACTICS WOULD ONLY COME OUT OF CHICAGO STYLE POLITICS. IF WE GO BY THE RULES, THE RULES SAY THE NOMINEE IS DECIDED AT THE CONVENTION. MILLIONS OF HILLARY SUPPORTERS FEEL IT SHOULD GO UNTIL THE CONVENTION. OBAMA IS TRYING TO FORCE HILLARY OUT SO HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE LEFT STANDING. HE DID THIS IN CHICAGO (SEE ARTICLE ON TODAY'S CNN) AND HE IS TRYING TO DO THIS NOW. FIGHT HILLARY, FIGHT. NEVER GIVE UP.

Great! Let's put an end to this foolishness! Hang it up Hilla-loser!!! I'm sure all of her idiotic supporters will say that this is unfair. Blah, blah, blah. She lost fair and square! Suck it up, deal with it, and move ON!

Obama '08

GOOD GOING.

WE DON'T WANT TO BE THE PARTY OF ONLY THE WORKING WHITE.

SHE HAS DONE EVERYTHING SHE CAN ON THIS GREAT EARTH TO

BRING THE COUNTRY & THE PARTY DOWN, BEYOND

REPAIR. SHE & HER LOBBYISTS ARE HOLDING US HOSTAGE.

Yes, end it now. So Ochange will have time to battle McSame.

I suggest they go first...

Since Pelosi is from California, will she be giving her support to Hillary since she won the state or if not, will Obama refuse her endorsement since he and his campaign made it clear long ago that superdelegates should go the way their states do? And will Reid do the same and support Hillary since she won his state with 51% of the vote?
Didn't both Pelosi and Reid state that the superdelegates should not overturn the people so will they be overturning both their states wishes if they endorse Obama and make their statements therefore hypocritical?
Just wondering?????

The superdelegates MUST not overturn the will of the people as defined by the popular vote. If Hillary has the popular vote, she should get the nomination.

Obama has blocked revotes in MI and FL- the only true democratic solution. He is undoubtedly great at manipulating political machines. But he does not have a mandate to represent the people.

If the Democrats nominate Obama, they should never complain about the 2000 election again.

I'm not sure Reid & Pelosi have the clout to affect what the Clintons do after June 3. Even if every single superdelegate decides next week in Obama's favor, the Clintons may vow to fight on regardless. Some people just don't know when enough is enough.

Thank you, Thak you for taking steps to end this fiasco. Glad to see Pelosi has a pair of what Howard Dean does not.

Please for the love of DNC... do it. The DNC has tried to be respectfull of Hillary and her status both in politics and in this historical race... but when she DOES NOT CARE if the DNC sinks or swims its time to toss her over board.

We loved you once Hillary, but this party and this country CAN NOT go down with you.

About time! McCains bugs have been crawling out of the woodwork for months. While the Dems behave cowardly.

What a bunch of crap boy this is a travisty. Wait a freaking week. I swear this is bull.

Pelosi – I agree .... mind your own business and let the voters maqke the choice and not You!!!

Good job Nancy...it is time for superdelegatyes to pick President Hillary!!

The cowardice of these undeclared superdelegates is the real issue here. They are letting this drag too long. Does HRC have pictures of them in bed with a goat, a dead boy or a pre-teen girl?
