Some people have things right before their very eyes, but does not see them. The house market problem; the gas, it is at sky high prices; the economy is not at its best; the wars in Irak and Afganistan, and many more problems we are facing everyday.

Change, a rhetoric that Obama has been using all along his campain. The campain of "change." I wish you luck and the very best to you, all the followers of Obama. He is an extremist radical, it is what many people does not see.

Never the less, you are giving to Obama the entire United States of America; this great country, on a golden plate, at his disposition and free use to destroy it. I do not believe he has a magic stick to magically "change" all the problems we are facing day-to-day.

Moreover, I have been a Democrat for 28 years, if Obama gets the nomination; I'm sad to say this, but I will vote for Mr. McCain in November. I'm not going to cross his name and write Hillary instead. I want my vote to be counted this time.

Good luck to all of us!!!

Hillary does not know when to quit even when the math and the delegates are not with her. She twists her positions depending upon what is favorable to her. Who wants a flip flopper whose primary focus is herself? Her fuzzy thinking is filled with half truths and untruths, like her popular vote "lead". She's more interested in winning no matter what the costs than in the truth about who leads the party.

The DNC voted for Obama to become our nominee. They did not care about the voters. HIllary Clinton has own the popular vote and superdelegates should follow popular vote if they want to have a chance in November but I suspect they will not. In which case I will vote for Hillary by simply crossing out Obama and putting in HIllary.

The DNC did no such thing. Obama has won the popular vote, and is only

I must say I am amazed at the comments in this blog. For those of you who pretend to Democratic voters and will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the Presidential nominee of the party…….by all means take your hostility and vote for McCain and against your best interests.
To those who seemingly don't understand that the person with the most "delegates" wins the democratic nomination for President…..may I suggest you relearn the rules of the Democratic Party and the threshold number needed to win the nomination.
And to those who have offered comments regarding the handling of the Florida and Michigan primaries I highly recommend you tuck your emotions and do some meaningful research about the core and real issues in both States that led to the DNC having to make the decisions they did.
To the rest of the hysterics for Clinton………get a grip, calm down, take a deep breath and realize it is over. The world will not end. Hillary, if she plays her cards right this time ( as opposed to the manner in which she blew her primary campaign), can almost write her own ticket with the Obama Campaign………the question is: is she smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity she will be given……and will those that have supported her campaign also get smart and take advantage of Hillary's choices?

If it wasn't for Bill Clinton's popularity among the Latinos Hillary will not win by this large margin. Also, for some reason, some Latinos are not very kind to people who have darker skin than themselves. I am white, but this fact troubles me very much and my hope is that Obama as our next president s will bring all peoples together, whites, blacks and browns in unity. He will treat these infections that seperate us and heal our nation.
Hillary today in San Juan, Puerto Rico repeated the word "Fight" 5 - 6 times. She does like to fight. We had Bush who like to fight and proved it for the past 8 years. We have a military man McCain, who wants to continue the "fight" maybe 100 years. He is comfortable fighting…
Now Hillary is suggesting to continue "fighting" too…

I Have Seen War I Hate War!

Obama Will not be the next president if he gets the nomination its OVER for the democratic party so We Will WELCOME OUR NEW PRESIDENT MISTER " JOHN McCAIN" obama alone can't winn sorry obamatons

…not exactly 'neck and neck'. She won 68% to 32%. And I would just like to say something about the sexism is this race. When Ted Kennedy ran for office, he was over 700 delegates behind. He went all the way to the convention and NOBODY was screaming for over 2 months for him to get the hell out. This whole primary has been screwed up from day 1. No wonder there is so much vitrial and divisiveness. I swear, the Democrates will never learn.

She didn't win big. She LOST BIG! This race is over. Its been over. She's just too stubborn to admit Obama has already defeated her more then a year ago now. A Hillary win, is a Hillary Loss. Period, end of story. She's done. Its time she gets her head out of the clouds and realizes the reality and accept her fate that's been dealt to her. Obama is the Democratic Nominee, period. Enough already with this Hillary propoganda. Its Over!

Obama supporters - don't feel so good, he can't win the votes were it counts. Big win in Nov. for John McCain. You Hillary haters will just insure a loss for the Democrats.
The RBC took delegates from Hillary and gave them to Obama, and sits there smugly askng for unity….not a chance.

Hill's website claims that "Hillary has consistently stood up for the voters of Florida and Michigan." This is a bald-faced lie. She said originally in unequivocal terms that the primaries would not count.

Why are people so enamored of her? Do they admire a liar? That could be a good bumper sticker.

wth,, she is scary,,
seems like she is wearing nappies,, ohhh look at me !!
she n her husband r biggest racist in usa n they work for zionist israeli regime,,
go obama go

Okay and………yea nothing.

Can we just move on with what matters now?

Obama '08!

She won because of her universal appeal. Just remember that there are more Puerto Ricans in the 50 states than there are in Puerto Rico.

Clinton is the better candidate with a better chance to win against McCain in the general election.

I want to see a Clinton write in or a third party.

why did they not count popluar votes for Al Gore against Bush???tell me America.
Why can Clinton use Popular votes to win as a Nominee?
Are we still figuring out how to hold elections?

Another fantastic win for Hillary Clinton. I am so looking forward to seeing her as our next President. Please keep fighting for us Hillary and we will stand behind you all the way to the White House. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!

How did she win big? The same way she won big in Michigan. She ran against herself.

This is like watching a sports team in denial over losing the finals. The fans have left, the media has left, and most importantly - your opponent is in the clubhouse celebrating. Still, you linger on the field of play waiting for the next whistle. It's over - got it? Sometimes you lose… or to be charitable - sometimes you just run out of time. The nomination process, your political career - done… finished… kaput. Got it?

Since the boat for exiting gracefully has clearly sailed - just get out.

Hillary stop dreaming, your future life is been falling apart, you wont be on the dream ticket, I am guessing there will be a lady on the ticket but not you.

Keep going, Hillary. There are way too many people out there who will not vote in November unless you are on the ticket.

I hope this will give Senator Clinton the emotional security to concede gracefully once all the primaries are over.

She told them she would grant them statehood. This woman will sell her soul for the nomination. Sad!!!

I believe Hillary won PR b/c of Bill. The Clinton voters that wishes to vote for John instead of Obama should think twice when they're at the GAS PUMP!!! B/C I Do!! Get Over It and ReUNITE this Party.

Let's see…I guess it makes it easy for her to claim she wins the "popular" vote because she is running on the coattails of her infamous husband and former president, Bill. With that being said, had she been on an even scale as Obama, I am sure the story would be a lot different.

Let me give Senator Clinton her due - she is a great candidate. But after all of the bickering, whining, and pandering for votes, I would have to say that my respect and tolerance for her campaign has diminished below zero. She has found more ways to put "spin" on politics than her husband…I do say they make the perfect couple. Good luck to Senator Clinton in the off-season.

Democrats: Let's unite and rally behind the guy I'd like to see as our next president - Barack Obama!

Fired up! Ready to go!

Ok, I bought myself some nice party favors and a bottle of wine. All of you are invited to my "Sayonara Hillary" fiesta on Tuesday night. Just follow the clues.

I've had enough of the Dems choosing the lamest candidate for the last two elections just to appease the whiners of the group. Get out of my party. You are not invited.

Look at her pictures from PR? Are you certain she does not inhale?

The more you look at her the more worried you get about her conscience. The Clintons have no sense of right and wrong. In the name of carrying on the the end as is her right both the Clintons have shown how shallow their interpretation of right and wrong is.

Senator Clinton has proven that she is the stronger candidate, despite the obvious media bias.
Obama can not win in the states that a Democrat must win, in order to obtain the White House in November. He has not been able to compete with her in most of the important states that democrats must carry in the fall.
The democrats will be setting themselves up again (just like with Kerry) and will loose an election they should win, if the inexperienced Senator Obama, is put up against John McCain. He is the wrong candidate at this time if we do not want another 4 years of Republicans.

Why did she win so big? That's easy - latinos/hispanics & black people don't get along so well.

I cannot believe how nasty Obama supporters are towards a fellow democrat. Shame on you!

Who cares about Puerto Rico. Most don't even understand English nor pay taxes. How can they research on the candidates if they don't even understand our government, laws, etc…

Thank you Obama for campaigning in states that matter in the GE.

AND HOW MANY PUERTO RICANS ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO VOTE?

M.C. June 1st, 2008 3:36 pm ET: ? o_O

The Clintons have some very strong connections in Puerto Rico, from Bill's 1999 Pardoning of the 11 FALN Members. The GOP and McCain were certain to use it IF she became the Nominee. There are no National Security Brownie points there!!!

Yes, apparently, they have some loyalist in Puerto Rico yet.

One step at a time.

Women who love women. Did you see them crying and screaming yesterday? I hope they see themselves on TV and realize just how bad they make women look. I am ashamed of my gender.

sally from cal.

No, the democratic party will be responsibile for losing to McCain in November? Why, because they screwed up in Florida and Mich. They should have made that decesion right away when they broke the rules.

Now, all the democratic party did was tick off alot of voters. You know what, who wants to belong to a party that doesn't think their vote counts. And thats exactly what the democratic party did. They ignored those states votes until they had no choice. They didn't care.

Thus, they will lose the election from their own aragonce.

Go Hillary.

AND, oboma could care less about those two states also. Let those states decide who wins in november. It won't be Oboma after the way he treated them.

Dan

ONE MORE PRO OBAMA COMMMENTARY BY CNN.THE VICTORY HAS ALMOST NOTHING TO DO WITH HILLARY.IS THEIR ANYBODY AT CNN AT LOVE THIS COUNTRY ENOUGH TO SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RACIST HILLARY IS RUNNING AGAINST?ALL YOU ALL COWARDS-EVERYONE OF YOU?

YES!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO!
YOU ARE THE STRONGER CANDIDATE TO WIN!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Ugh!
Once this is iover I hope I never hear the name Hillary again.
Or have to see her face or hear her screeching.
Puerto Rico? So what?
I have gotten an ulcer from this campaign. Can I sue for damages?

By the way I support Obama and i am fairly bitter and dissapointed by the face shown by Hillary Clinton throughout this primaries as i use to respect her.
However i am willing to support a joint ticket if it would make the case stronger for a democratic victory in nov.

Give credit where credit is due. Hillary is the people's choice and we don't choose Obama!

Why worry about the present election when we can get a head start worrying about the future! The results of this primary reflect one of the most worrisome trends in current American politics; the rapidly forming schism between black and hispanic voters. We first saw it in Nevada. A vicious combination of racism and political competition is emerging and the Democratic party is likely to be only the first of its casualities.

Voters unite for McCain if the dumb Dems make Obama their nominee.

Hillary is the best candidate but if the foolish Dems make Obama the nominee Mccain will win and this Dem will support him!

You Obama Fans need the Clinton's and their supporters, we still have the upper hand and I hate to say it but if you think long and hard… it really is up to the Clinton's now to unite the party so therefor there is nothing you can do to hurt us anymore, but we can make your life miserable for 4 years by voting for McCain even if we are in the same place as you it could be worth it

Meaningless

So she won Puerto Rico - big deal. If she manages to get the nomination, let's see how many votes she'll get from there in the general election? Oh that's right ZERO because PR isn't a state that can vote in the general. This was a meaningless primary.

Let's go Obama

Hillary all the way………………………..08………………………………………………..

That's funny! Hillary will run as an independent. With what campaign money? Didn't she run the first campaign in the ditch with the coffee and donut bill. Come on people look at where our economy is, do want a person who can't keep their campaign in the black running this country?

"If all the primary results including Florida and Michigan are counted, but not the caucus votes, Clinton leads in the popular vote 17,461,845 to Obama's 17,244,762, according to CNN estimates."

"In a second scenario, which adds in CNN's estimate of the caucus-goers, Obama leads Clinton 17,928,000 to 17,843,000."

To claim that Clinton has the popular vote is simply a bald faced lie. "I have the popular vote when you count the state where I was the only one on the ballot, and don't count any of the caucus states." Sounds like a winning argument that will surely win over those 96% of remaining superdelegates that Clinton needs, LOL.

Get this loser outta here.

Dems. party, how soon we forget be real most people know that Obama will NOT WIN come the general election let go of this show which will end tuesday remember one president WALTER MONDALE who only won the greate state of MINNESOTA, during his time like some have said that "THIS IS OUR TIME" time of couse that is if OBAMA win the state of ILL. will all these Obama supporter be around come NOVERBER or is it to stop Hillary from been the next PRESIDENT ? Think AMERICA.

Go MI Voter! You got that right. We will make sure Obama doesn't get in the White House.

All you Obama supporters don't realize the wrath that is about to be unleased from the Clinton supporters who feel they have been robbed.

We will support McCain. At least he has some experience and tells us like it is. We know what we are getting with McCain, he doesn't have anything to hide.

Obama offers change. What kind of change? Change in your pocket and that is about it.

Go Hillary!! Let's hope the super delegates do the right thing and give the nomination to the best candidate! gracias Puerto Rico!

Hillary '08

Americians the world is watching you more now than ever. Hate is a choosen fact don't let everyone know that you can't grow.

Congratulations to Hillary !
With the name recognition, the 7 days campagning there (1 day for Obama) and the 3 to 1 outspending, we could say it was expected.

Factor in that the turnout was 19% and that they can't vote in the GE.

Factor in that Obama campaigned in Montana and SD and you know then why he will be the nominee.

On an another note, i am tempted to think that a joint ticket would be a good thing for november and the democrats and on the other hand i am afraid that it could undermine the winning message of change vs 'thrid Bush term'. Any thoughts on that ?

Let her enjoy her moment, because this is a close as she gets. Come Tuesday, Obama will be well past her in every respect. Let's see Hillary do the right thing and support the nominee, Obama, like she said she would.

Lets be serious here, as a person who's studied in Puerto Rico I can tell you that the only thing Puerto Rican's despise more than a gringo is a black person. The low turnout shows that many Puerto Rican's refused to vote for Hillary Clinton too!

Lets not have this Puerto Rican contest go to Hillary's head because now All Obama needs is a few more delegates to Hillary's 200 or so.

If Hillary can not do the basic math proving she is pretty much done, do you really think she can balance the country's budget?

CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY! She is a figher for all people!

Bill just can't handle the thought that he is not going to get a third term in the White House. He is using Hollary, as he uses all women. He can get out of the spotlight now. Thank goodness!!

I agree 100% with michigan voter!!!. Obama will never see the Whitehouse. The DNC screwed up big time when they treated Fl and MI the way they did. I will also be voting for McCain in Nov. or Hillary if she runs as an independent and I'm sure her 17 million+ supporter will go with her also. If she doesn't we will put up with McCain for 4 years and in 2012 Hillary WINS!!!!!

"De Nada" is Spanish for "it is nothing". That's what the PR election is.
It is truly over.

Now that Hillary can't get anyone except a select few people believe her nonsense, she has switched her story to say that she is losing because of a vast conspiracy against her. This is the kind of talk that puts people in mental institutions.

It's not a vast conspiracy, Hillary. It's just that most people think you're an idiot.

Hillary or McCain? Wow, you have great democrats in the States….
Little bit racist eh?

To those Democrats that still want to vote for Mc Cain if Hillary doesn't win, I hope you're ready for more of the same thing we've seen since Bush took office.

So if Hillary doesn't win? She already said herself that if she doesn't win that voting Republican would be a mistake. AND I AGREE!!! I'd die before putting another Republican on my ballot for President, especially John Mc Cain. Don't let this closely fought election be cause to hurt the Democratic party. I urge you for WHICHEVER candidate it is, be it Hillary or Obama, please vote Democratic. We desperately need change from the same old policies from the past 8 years.

GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!

YOU ARE AN AMERICAN HERO!!!!!!!

MADAME PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

Obama has had more big wins in real states than this one Hillary has in P.R. This really means…nothing. P.R cannot vote in the general. Anyone who will not vote for the party values and chooses to vote for McCain has no other rational than racism. If these are the type of people Hillary attracts, Obama supporters don't want them anyway.

Yep, her last win. She will lose South Dakota and Montana. Obama will get the nomination and Hillary will start to stomp for him. That is of course if she is true to her word. With some of the things she's tried to pull off during this primary season, I wouldn't be surprised if she ran as an Independent if she didn't get the nomination.
If that happens the presidential race will end up being a runoff between Obama and McCain. Then Obama will win.

OBAMA '08

She won because Puerto Rico hasn't had the opportunity to become disgusted with her.

Hillary. These light pink pants make your hips look enormous. Bad choice.

She won big becaise of Bill Clinton, everyone knows that!

It ain't over til it's over. And it ain't over.

In my entire life I have not voted Republican but I will not vote for Obama..

Who does she think she is anyway!! Her ego is too strong. Clinton go home.

i am with you hillary as an independent she has got my vote good luck hillary hope you win make sure every vote is counted hillary for president the best among the rest

Why do Clinton supporters want to send a Primary campaign loser to the White House? Does that make any sense?

She lost. Losers don't get elected President.

I don't understand - what kind of feminist uses her husband's name to advance her career????

now u see why obama is winning.she spends 15 days,with Bill & chealcy , wasting all her money and time in a place that dose"nt vote in the GE.with 2 days to go.mean while obama cris crossin SD and MONTANA.which he's most likeky to win them both. Go Obama 08

We have to support the nomine to defeat Mccain in November who ever he is. We just can't affort 4 more years of mess in WH, and loose more American and poor innocent people in Irak. Our troop have to came back home to their famely.

The super delegates would do well to read these blogs. The Obama supporters are obviously so nasty, and vile in their comments. This is suppose to be about bringing people together. There is so much enthusiasm by Hillary's supporters. Name calling and ignorant, mean, narrow minded talk is not going to help this process.

Most of these sick individuals need major therapy. How pitiful the Obama campaign has become to hide behind these kind of cognitively deprived individuals and let them do their dirty work.

I don't know how Obama sleep at night.

Clinton wins a contest from an area that isn't even a state and cannot vote in the general election and you go nuts about it.

Obama wins 11 in a row (actually 12 when you count Texas). That is 12 states that have millions of people who can and will vote in the General Election.

Hillary makes discounts (disenfranchises) these states an unimportant and small.

Say what? How much more unimportant can you get than winning in an area (not a state) that CANNOT EVEN VOTE AT ALL in the general election?

Jeeze Louise.

this goes to tell you how Clinton supporters are very ignorant and have no common sense in their thinking. I don't even know how they relate to their own children regarding rules, moralilty and values. You lose, you lose, go home and stop whinning
they claim she won the big states and the red states in only democrates contest, what scientific proof do they have to support this false claim that will be outcome in fall general election?.If that is the case there shouldn't have been any contest and annoint Hillary they ultimate President-in waiting….Foolish no brainers,
They are all a bunch of imagination dreamers who cannot do a basic math.
if she cannot beat Obama, who according to Clinton is not electable by the same people voting, who else can she beat, a dog? you bet.
She can not beat any one

All her supporters are retarted. Grow-up,

Frankie, T.O

The only reason Obama is ahead in anything is the caucuses, where young people who weren't working, and others who didn't have families to take care of, could sit for several hours for a caucus. Hillary is winning in all the states where the PEOPLE VOTE.
I pray the super delegates will start to use their heads, and vote for Hillary. I have read that some of them are being threatened and intimidated by the Obama team, if they are for Hillary. Our democratic process desperately needs a make-over. If all the states voted, instead of having the caucuses, Hillary would be ahead. If the Dems. held their primaries like the Repubs.–winner of each state gets all the delegates–then Hillary would be ahead.
Hang in there, Hillary. We are behind you! I will vote McCain or not vote, if Obama is the Dem's. choice.

UPDATE:

clinton supporters voting for Mr. Obama: 18

clinton supporters voting for mc cain: 16

republicans voting for Mr. Obama: 3,010,210

democrats voting for Mr. Obama: WOW!

Will keep you informed:

The biggest argument of Hillary is that she has the popular vote. When she in fact, does not.

So what does she have?

Nothing.

Hillary promised to make Puerto Rico the 51st. state! If I was Puerto Rican I would vote for her too. Again, say and do anything. Wednesday can't come soon enough. Good riddance you liar!

[b]Schneider: How did Clinton win big?[/b]

She Campaigned there. Its as simple as that
It makes a huge different when a candidate campaigns thier heart out in a specific terrority.
Good for hillary clinton, but this primary was as irrelevant she has become

Irrelevant?????

This is race is not over until the delagates vote IN THE CONVENTION. And superdelegates for sure can change their mind at any time!

So no it is not irrelivant and it is not over and any sports team how important is to hold a lead against a good opositiong team.

Hillary is still viable albeit difficult that it would happen.

But it might very well happen and all of you who are so eager to write her off and make her go away could be left wondering….

Simple, she lies to people who are ignorant enough to believe it. She tells them she will guarantee they will have a vote in the General Election. LMAO, what suckers!

Some of her supporters aren't good at math. Doing well in a few states does not change the race when your opponent already has the majority.

Because statehood and the possiblilty of voting in the GE is the "new" gas tax holiday. Sadly, people believe sound bites and promises without researching.

Her techniques are failing overall because the internet and YouTube let us find out the truth. The more people are informed–the younger and more educated people–the less the lies will work. Too bad, Hillary. you should have run before the internet.

Keep her Puerto Rico and guess what? YOU DON'T COUNT anyway. God Bless AMERICA.

Obama is the one we want, the game is over for Blondie, but she is too silly to notice.

Puerto Rico, Clintons are ALL YOURS.
Keep them there for the rest of their lives and enjoy their lip services with lies, lies, lies ,,,,,,,

You Hillary supporters (Republican operatives?) are funny. You keep 'warning' us that all sorts of bad things are going to come out about Obama real soon . . . you've been saying that ever since it was inevitable that Hillary would lose the nomination. Where is it? Don't you think the Clinton campaign wouldn't have found it and used it by now?

She has lost and Obama will be the next President unless you Clinton supporters 'don't vote', 'vote for McCain' or 'write in Hillary'. Do you REALLY want the same or worse economy we have? Do you REALLY want the troops to stay in Iraq? Do you REALLY want McCain to appoint Supreme Court Justices that will take away your right to choose, take away your civil rights, side with big business instead of the people?

You Clinton supporters keep saying how 'smart and wise' you are but your posts do not reflect that when you say you won't vote for Obama. It's also very questionable from the language, vocabulary, grammar and spelling.

okay, name recognition again.

If Hillary doesn't win against McCain

..

We will vote for McCain!!

Wait, what?

All Europeans, all world citizens want Clinton out. It's time to retire, you're over 60!!

Mr. Sneider:
Your rationale just doesn't make sense why Hillary won. She won because she is the best choice. It's not because of Bill, or all your other reasons. You are just a very biased news pundit. Give it up. You as well as the other males are threatened by such a dynamic, bright, and strong female. It is so obvious.

is this a new math that we are teaching billary math 101 popular votes equals more delegates, more states won= the stronger candidate and the winner is still Obama!!!

I guess PR didn't get the memo. You people who say "Obama may not be able to beat McCain ", "Hillary is more electable". Well, the people have spoken - they want Obama. We hold these elections for that purpose. Electing a democratic candidate is not based on analyses and polls. Please stop feeding the bear!

I read that they liked Hillary cause they are a welfare state that does not pay taxes and Bill Clinton had something to do with allowing that.

Go Obama.

She lies even when documentation disproves her lies–

“We need a president who will put us back on the path to fiscal responsibility,” she said. “I am the only candidate running who has told you specifically how I will pay for everything I propose because I want you to hold me accountable.”

There are a couple of problems with this claim, though. First, her campaign is approximately $20 million in debt, even after she loaned over $11 million of her own money to the cause. Several vendors and suppliers have come forward to say they are owed money by the campaign, and her former chief strategist, Mark Penn, is owed $5 million for his services before he parted ways with Clinton.

Second, Clinton received more than five times the number of earmarks than any other senator, according Taxpayers for Common Sense. Their report also found that Clinton is responsible for receiving over $2 billion in earmarks from 2002 to 2006, which is more than either Barack Obama or John McCain.

Wow 2 more superdels for obama, I don't see any of them moveing to Hillary haha.

After South Dakota and Montana its all over!

Keeo on dreaming Hillary folks.

There is no reason to believe that Obama had a chance of beating Hillary in Puerto Rico. Let's look at the facts: since when in this election have the Hispanic community supported Barack Obama in any part of the country. It's a waste of time for the pundits and analysts to calculated statistics day in and day out when the simple fact of the matter is that Hispanics will not vote for a black man to become president. There is and always has been a rift in Hispanic and black community relations. We all know who the nominee is going to be. Individual Democrat voters should take it upon themselves to recognize that in order for this party to be successful in November, they must put their support behind the person who is going face McCain. Instead, the Puerto Ricans have played this childish, ignorant, racially motivated game to be spiteful. This island will be responsible for setting the Democratic party back.

Meh, she needs to win at least 70% of all remaining delegates, including Super D's just to reach the 2,118 delegates needed, while it is entirely possible, I just don't see that happening yet.

go obama yeyeye

Congratulations!!! Kudos to such a hard working woman, the making of a great leader.

Who cares - I am so sick and tired of the campaigns, the coverage, the candidates, their families - I won't even vote in November. I just don't care any more - all it has been is mudslinging, whining, etc. The DNC should be ashamed of themselves for letting this mess go on for so long - does anyone really care? Whoever gets elected won't live up to their promises, will have a scandal ridden presidency and leave in disgrace like the last two. Frankly i don't think any sane person would want the job. Maybe we should try a monarchy or a dictatorship. Can't be any worse than what we already have. The candidates just need to get over themselves.

She won so big because everyone knows the Clintons via Bill. She had no real relevance with her positions

Hello all,

Write it down..it's over for billharry…Go to hell with your all campaign members. We don't want a second Monica Lewinski in the white house. We all knew Bill promissed you to do everything he can to help you gaining the white house because you didn't divorce him when he slept with Monica in the white house…he didn't want to resign at this as a president . He was lying to you in order to not explode Monica's case.Now you are free to divorce him he's so weak.

Vote for Obama 08

Hillary Clinton won big in Puerto Rico because:

1) Puerto Ricans make a big deal out of 'respect'; she visited the island much more than Obama.
2) There are a LOT of Puerto Ricans who virtually commute between New York (and Hartford) and San Juan. What state is Clinton nominally the senator of? Hmm…
3) Bill Clinton is almost a god to many Puerto Ricans. The reason for this is not entirely clear, since he was president while I was there and things certainly didn't improve.
4) The promise of a vote on status guarantees 50% support from virtually every member of the PNP, despite the reality that Puerto Rico has more chance of becoming the 9th (10th) planet in our solar system, than it does becoming a state.

Who cares, anyway? It's over. Just more bs to feed the HRC whining machine.

How did Hillary when big? Because she was laser focused on a group of people that can't vote in the GE while Obama was already working on GE swing states instead of Puerto Rico.

This is nothing more than kicking a 4th qtr. field goal when you are down by 3 touchdowns with 2 minutes to go. It is over, most people have left the stadium and those that are left are just waiting for the clock to run out and traffic to die down.

People liked her husband in office. He had a cool pompodum. Its called face recognition.

Michigan voter!!! —Why is it that you would vote McCain instead of Obama when Hillary herself has said HE would make a good President? Why is it that many of her supporters ponder the idea of HRC being VP if he is so bad? Why is it that so many HRC supporters "threaten" to vote McCain if she doesn't win? I don't hear the Obama supporters whining like that. You all need to get a grip and stand behind the Democratic nominee–whoever it is that wins this election. I am an Obama supporter, but I can guarantee you if he loses the nomination, I will vote for HRC (even though she is not my choice)–and will never vote McCain. Never. To think that is absurd; to go on and on about how her supporters will vote McCain sounds like nothing but poor losers to me. We are adults, not children. Grow up, please. It isn't about YOU; it is about our country.

democrats please come together regardless of who becomes the nominee…the world is watching you to make the right decision

It's over HRC, time to pack up and head back to NY….bring your accountant, you have a lot of bills that need to be paid.

Good look Hillary with maintaining your seat in the Senate, you may have lost that also.

First, let's remember that Puerto Rican's can't even vote in the general election, so this makes no difference at all.

Second, since she has spent all this time and money campaigning in a Spanish speaking territory, wouldn't you think she would learn to say the one Spanish phrase she used in her acceptance speech appropriately?

"Te quiero Puerto Rico" means "you (singular familiar) love Puerto Rico." Even the Taco Bell dog knows better!

She's an idiot. Please make this woman just go away!!

Hispanics won't vote for an african american. Another win for hillary firmly grounded on racism. How can you be proud of that? Boom, outa here.

The superdelegates need to do their job now. It is very unfair for the Clinton campaign to be allowed to have well-intentioned Americans contributing to their organization.

Old Politics and the death of a machine that people thought would triumph over a no one from Illinois. People counted Barrack out months ago. They said he would lose to Hillary and the nomination would be hers in January. People have been turning a shoulder to Obama all through this election because he is a Well educated worldy experienced man. Im so proud of Americans who have recognized his potential and supported him and realized that we need to change our look towards the world and how people from other countries percieve us. Dems dont pay attention to the Hate comments in these blogs cause they are coming from hate republicans who are scared we will Be in the white house come January. We democrats are strong and Fl and Mi voters were included and a comprise was met its time now that we support Obama and get ready to whipe the floor with McCain in November. God Bless America.

Michigan and the rest of you …
Open your eyes PLEASE.
If we must settle for Hillary that is fine because we should be voting ultimately for the Democratic party.
Please no Bush number three … smarten up you guys!
Hillary is, also, old politics you know …

GO OBAMA!

I can't wait for Tuesday and the rest of the week when the primaries end and the SDs finally seal the nomination. I, for one, will be glad to see the end of the Democratic race.

Funny how Obamaniacs don't count votes that are for Clinton. You are a sad pathetic group of people. Saying PR doesn't matter is arrogant, rude and disrespectful. Obviously, Democrats care about PR or they wouldn't allow them to vote in the primary. Obama's supporters show who he truly is. He will lose in November and then you can whine, cry and blame it on the Clintons yet again.

As most media talking heads do not have any idea at all of what is going on most of the time other than what they make up, you Mr. Schneider you are the most ridiculous pronosticator. You have no idea what-so-ever which are the real reasons that gave Mrs. Clinton such a VICTORY in Puerto Rico nor you will have the courage to tell it, should you knew why…!!!!!

A vote for obama is a vote for HAMAS

HILLARY HAS ACCOMPLISHED SO MUCH IN THIS CAMPAIGN, FOR US TO COUNT HER OUT NOW WOULD BE RIDICULOUS!

I WOULD SAY THAT OBAMA HAS A REAL PROBLEM IF HE GETS NOMINATED!

A LOT OF DISILLUSIONED HILLARY SUPPORTERS AND HIS SCANDAL MAKE FOR A ROUGH ROAD!

HILLARY DESERVES RESPECT AND DESERVES TO BE NOMINATED!
SHE SHOULD BE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL WOMEN!

SHE IS TO ME AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS!!!!!!
CONGRATS HILLARY!!!!!!!!

oH GOOD GRIEF! So Hillary won and CNN's first reaction is to "find an explanation." And then, credit her husband! You people MUST be getting paid by the Obama campaign… you must….

"king from toronto" You obviously aren't a very observant person.

Since 1988 (i did not research further back) SD has always voted republican. Since 1988, Wyoming has voted democrat Once, in 1992.

This is the reality the obama twits ignore. Hillary has been taking swing and democratic states. Mr. Racistboy on the other hand has been taking republican states. In other words, states which will go to McCain in November.

That is why Hillary is the candidate of choice. She can win. Racistboy can't.

Puerto Ricans can ONLY vote in November if they become a state which they are not! Appears to be another way of Clinton trying to change the rules in the November election.

@MC oh get off it Barack Obama played by the rules set by the DNC in Fl and Mich why didnt you all take to the streets in the MONTHS leading up to the primary when you all were being told by HRC your candidate that votes in those states WOULD NOT count her words not mine?????????? Nobody has given an answe to that question yet? What about the millions of people who believed the DNC and did NOT come out in vote in primaries that they were told would NOT count??? As they stated several times yesterday Barack is NOT to blame for any of this mess in Fl and or Mich.

Hillary want to steal the primary she wants to steal the delegates of Obama she's crying huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh i won more popular vote than she already knows that popular never count in the general election huuuuuuuuuuu i will be the nominee, i'm a stronger candidate i hate her cause she's not correct with herself she's unfavorable, she can even beat Obama in the Primary how she will can beat MCcain in the genral election this disgusting and the last point is she never said she wants to unify i can't vot for a candidate who don't know nothing in union she wants to fight and to go to the convention i hate more and more if she gets the nomination i will turn my vote against her i will vote for MCcain cause i can understand why she leads in the popular and why she can be the nominee never Hillary you are a selfish, a witch you will never have what you want period. Obama 08 all the way CNN please post this YES HE CAN AND YES WE CAN

To Michigan Voter -PLEASE TAKE YOUR VOTE AND GIVE IT TO McCAIN. You are not a democrat anyway. This time next year you won't even have a computer to type on. It serves you right! You racist.

I just watched Obama and wasted my time. I heard nothing except George Bushes name will not be on the ballot. Fired up and ready to go, which I did find out he stole from a lady in SC. some little town there. That was the extent of this speech, and I ask myself, what in Gods name is he doing even running for President? Of course I heard the MLKs , the urgency of now. Does he ever give a speach without that reference?

Hillary Alias : Miss CHANGE THE RULES TILL I WIN!

Obama can't win!~ WE HAVE TO GIVE THE NOMINATION TO HILLARY !!!

Donna Brazile is my Hero she had the best comments yesterday at the DNC meeting she inspires me as a woman not HRC go figure.

Barack keep loosing.
He is getting realy good at it. How can you support this looser?!
If we have several more primaries to go he would be big time behind.

Mr. Obama - do favor to America - DROP OUT and let Clinton's save this country.

HILLARY 2008

It amazes me that some of you think that somehow this is Obama's fault that Hillary is losing. She ran a bad campaign in the beginning of the primary season, lost Iowa and never caught up. This was her nomination to lose and she lost it. Winning the popular vote does not mean anything in the primaries or the general election, ask Al Gore. If the roles were reversed just about everyone that support Clinton would have been screaming at the top of their lungs for Obama to get out of the race and anyone who doesn't believe that is not living in the real world.

I cant wait to hear Hillary add this to her list of big 'states'.

They went with Clinton the name brand. Period.

Who Cares! What they do on the Island means totally nothing! Go Home Clinton… This is Obama's candidacy.. Go Obama!

For all of those uninformed delusional posters:

As a Puerto Rican I can tell you there is no science to it. Puerto Ricans are every bit as racist as West Virginians are. Even Puerto Ricans darker than Barack Obama hold ignorant views of blacks. I do not share these values, however, these are the views of the majority of my Puerto Rican family and friends… once again, even those that are darker themselves, than Barack Obama.

Hey look, a cartel!

what?

oh, hi hillary

Hillary Clinton won because Bill Clinton was a very popular President in Puerto Rico. And let us not forget, the Clinton family stalked the Island for days on end.
As Donna Brasille (sp), in talking about what her Mama told her, said yesterday, "when you try to change the rules in the middle or at the end of the game, that's cheating". If you guys want to applaud that, do so. I, however, don't think that is a good recommendation for Clinton to become POTUS. And "change the rules" is all she is advocating and the only way she can win this nomination. It would be good to hear you report the truth of the details occasionally.

Write Hillary Clinton on your ballot in November. We can by word of mouth and the internet elect her president. If Every Hillary supporter who can will write her name on their ballot in November we can show the DNC and the superdelegates what we think of their form of democracy.

She won 70 percent of female voters, 77 percent of those over 65, 69 percent who did not attend college, and 71 percent of voters with an income of $15,000 or less.

NOW WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

She won big because she's the better candidate. And for those who think it's over, just wait 'till the Michelle Obama "Whitey" tape comes out . . . it's a doozy.

It's time the DNC dumped the wretch. She's spit in their face consistently throughout the primaries. She agreed to no delegates from Florida and Michigan, then played the simpleton voters there against the DNC. She did the same thing in Puerto Rico…playing off the foolish hearts of the uneducated.

The DNC, for some ungodly reason, bowed to her by even allowing the Florida and Michigan votes. (A move that has completely stripped the DNC of any authority for future primaries.) And she's still complaining and refusing to accept their olive branch.

Dump the wretched woman. And don't allow her to run as a Democrat ever again.

This article actually puts a damp on the credibility of HILLARY Clinton winning the popular vote. As indicated by the stats above, the Puerto Ricans voted Hillary due to former president Bill Clinton's favorable review or as we coin it "popularity". It does render a clouded perception of what "popularity vote" really implies. It outlined further that it was "mere" popularity and not Hillarys's capability to be a great leader that gave her the popular vote. For this reason alone, I don't think the "popular vote" argument will weigh a lot among the superdelegates. Hillary's edge on electability would also be placed in question as the majority of the American population will weigh in more on the issues which makes Obama more electable over McCain when Hillary's name is not on the ballot.

The last two will wrap it up for Obama!

Wow, the news just reported that they voting turn out in PR is typically about 80%, but today only about 20% turned out to vote. What does that say???? It says they are not able to vote in the GE and that most of the people realize it doesn't really matter so why not just go to the beach! Ha Ha Ha…..

Barack Obama 08/12!

Clinton can't win the GE, she CAN'T win the primaries-SHE CAN'T WIN. It took three Clinton's to campaign in Puerto Rico and she still didn't accomplish what she wanted. She is such a loser….

Of course she wants Puerto Rico in the GE. She'd want North Korea and Iran in the GE if she thought it would go her way. It's those pesky states that vote for Obama that she would rather not have to deal with.

Impressive win for Clinton. Alda, the DNC did not give Obama the momination, he won it. Clinton is not ahead in the popular vote. If you count the votes in primaries, Michigan as well as caucus states then Obama is ahead. That is the true measure of the popular vote. You can not conveniently leave out caucus states and Michigan voters. If Michigan was a real primary then most of the uncommitted vote was for Obama.
Clinton math only works if you discount voters. I thought the hole exercise this weekend was to count voters.

too bad Puerto Rico's opinion is completely irrelevant eh?

This is the way she would run the White House as well (letting Bill run it). He needs to take her to the side and deactivate her to understand that she will not and can not win.

Obama 08

nice sexist comment there, bill schneider.

sure, hillary won PR because of her husband. Feh.

get over yourselves, pundits.

Hillary just smacked down the so-called front-runner, big-time. Again.

Add up those popular votes lately, have you? Yeah, they were all because of her hubby, were they not?

why not talk about her makeup and hairstyle? why not make fun of her like Pfleger did?

She's showing you all up for the fools you are.

Latinos are racist - hard to believe, but very much true - I know this from very personal experience

Sen. Clinton has the popular vote and is the candidate who should be the nominee to run against McCain, she is stronger then Senator Obama and besides America doesn't want him in the white house he has to many radicals in his llife , we don't need them telling him what to do

Just when you thought that it was getting crowded under that bus, Obalegerwright, has just thrown his whole church under the bus. He will do anything to win the Presidency, and I mean anything. Wonder how that will set with all those black people who were jumping up and down and cheering when Wright and Pfleger were putting down white people, this country and especially Hillary Clinton? He might lose the black vote when they realize he was using them to get to point A. He knows they (a mere 12%) cannot carry him to the White House. Wonder how Oprah feels, now that her popularity is waning? Loyality is not his forte! Anything to win is now evident, is it not?

i cant wait to see john mcclain beat obama, i like most sensible democrates will vote mccain before i ever vote obama. our country is messed up enough with out putting him in office.

She absolutely does not have the true will of the people. She is far too caustic and polarizing to unite the electorate in November. The truth is Obama is charismatic and thats what most people go for. But no one wants to consider the fact that he might also have good judgment

she is the stronger candidate, that is how she won. obama will be added to the loser list of mondale, dukakis, kerry, and gore.

Could her behind look any bigger in that photo?

What an impressing win for HRC,she has really done so well so far,now get your supporters to unite behind the one that has the most delegates according to the DNC rules to run for the GE.

The race is over so why is she playing this game?

Hillary can win all she wants because the repuks are helping her. but she is still not representing change. she represents the status quo.

so the game for her is the same she played with Algore as vp.

she can't even be anyone's vp. she is too unsubbordinated and stubborn. she likes to run her own show where she is the only one manipulating marionnettes.

She won big because Obama is empty like a beer can in a crack heads hand.

Hillary leads in the popular vote and in over 90% of elections, that's who wins! If this were the Republican winner take all primaries, she would have been the nominee long ago and we would be asking Obama who? Most of the states Obama has won, the Democrats never win in the general election: Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and his own Kansas shows McCain winning big now. OBAMA CANNOT WIN!!

I'm glad to see Clinton starting to catch up to Obama. I don't know why people keep downing Clinton. When Bill was president, we had the strongest economy in over 30 years, we had a budget surplus, and home ownership was at an all-time high. You know Hilary had some presence in what Bill Clinton did. I don't know about you folks, but I slept great at night when Bill was president. I could find a job, a good paying job, anywhere! Way to go Clinton, I hope somehow you when the democratic nomination!

The media clearly wants Obama to be the Democratic nominee and the voters and real working people in this country want Hillary.

Result?

America gets McCain as the 44th President.

Funny,

Here is an individual who seems to be incapable of running on her own record, and her own name, and constantly has to remind people that she is married to Bill Clinton.

If Bill Clinton, didn't exist, what would be her drawing card, her stellar record as a senator?; her backing of George Bush for the Iraq war.

What I don't understand is if Puerto Rico is not a state, why is it participating in this primary?

I THINK HILLARY SHD GO ALL THE WAY TO CONV HILLARY HANG IN THERE

yay for hillary shall we give her a cookie now? this is nonsense hoopla moving on…NOW!

PR is not a state so who cares….

Her only hope of getting to the White House is for a meeting with President Obama.

June 3, 2008………….. OBAMA 2008!

Clinton won very big in Puerto Rico because she and her husband have done a good job over the years fooling so many Latinos into believing that they were their best friends. Scratch the Clintons and I'm sure we'd find that they harbor the same prejudices against Latinos that they have shown with respect to African-Americans in this campaign. I'm one Latina who is not fooled in the least. I can spot Hillary Clinton and her husband as phonies a mile away.

She will make a great president of Puerto Rico.

I thought Hillary's big argument is that she wins the states that will matter in the General Election. Puerto Ricans can't even vote in the GE. Biiiiiig deal.

How did Hillary win big?

Simple: Hispanics and Hillary have a closer skin color than Hispanics and Obama!

If there's anyone who thinks people haven't factored in race/ethnicity/skin color in the Democratic Primary, contact me; I have a suspension bridge to sell you that can span the Atlantic Ocean between New York and Britain.

HILLARY HAS WON THE *TRUE WILL* OF THE PEOPLE…..THE POPULAR VOTE.

DO NOT IGNORE THAT

MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR HILLARY

IF SHE LOSES, IT WILL BE THE YEAR 2000 ALL OVER AGAIN…..

those people who are cheering Hillary to run as an independent if she doesn't win the nomination are nuts. Not only would she lose, but she would lose her political career. I know that some of her supporters are very adamant and very loyal, but just because your candidate doesn't win is no reason to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Obama's campaign has not done dirty dealing or stolen the victory for Hillary. His campaign has not moved the goal post during the campaign, as Hillary's has. It is difficult for me to understand the anger of the Florida and Michigan democrats, unless it was directed at their state's political leaders who put them in this hot water in the first place.
However, I am deeply disappointed that Hillary's campaign has gone to such lengths to try and changed the rules midway because she was losing.
You can bet that if Hillary was winning there would have been no big push to "have all the votes count".
Oh wait, that was all the votes except the 40% who did not vote for Hillary in Michigan. Those voters she couldn't care less about.
