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...

...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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
