Watch Bill Clinton's comments Monday.

(CNN) — Could this be Bill Clinton's last day on the stump this campaign season? The former president seemed to signal that his time on the trail was drawing to a close at a campaign event in South Dakota Monday.

"This may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind," he said.

The comment comes one day before South Dakota and Montana hold the primary season's final two contests. Barack Obama is expected to hold the advantage over Hillary Clinton in both states.

"I thought I was out of politics, until Hillary decided to run. But it has been one of the greatest honors of my life to go around and campaign for her for president," Clinton also said.

The comments seem to suggest the former president believes his wife's campaign is coming to a close, though she has given no signs she is ready to end her run.

Earlier Monday, a Clinton spokesman denied reports the campaign is cutting members of it's advance team. And on Sunday, Clinton launched an new ad stressing she is the winner of the popular vote. She also argued to reporters that the party's superdelegates have the right to change their mind until the party's convention in late August.

Would he be willing to put that in writing.Nah he will be back in 2016.

carolflowery   June 2nd, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Dear Mr. President, I do respect you and Hillary and I will always know
you love this country unlike the candidate your wife has had to contend with. He left his church but still believes in the principles of the Black Theology that has been taught there for years and years.
Im sad, I really would have enjoyed a debate with your Hillary Clinton and John McCain because it would have been honest and both sides actually telling the truth about their issues. Now we are stuck with a liar, and angry American and his wife. Well, I voted for Hillary in the Primary, first time voting for a demo for President. May I also say that
your wife has amazed millions of us with her smile, tenacity, and bravery. I love you both Sir.

WE MUST UNITE AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN - HE IS, AFTERALL, A PATRIOT AND TRUE AMERICAN.

Ted   June 2nd, 2008 3:22 pm ET

I have determined that democrats well at least 50.1% of them are idiots or at least living with residual short term memory loss from their days as dead heads. Bill Clinton was a great president who made the Democratic party seem cool, interesting and ambitous after 20 years of bland and poorly managed candidates. He made significant progress during two terms in office.what's more he came in under similar auspices as obama. he was young (many said too young) but charismatic and likable. he made becoming a democrat appealling and even though Gore couldnt keep up the momentum he made the party landscape such that Obama had a modicum of a chance - Obama capitalized on that chance -

If we stop being partisan and take Hilary out of it you should praise bill. There are a votes that would come if he actively supported and campaigned for Obama.

Chris   June 2nd, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Still for Hill wrote…Obama is stealing this nomination from Hillary Clinton by playing the race card, running a propaganda campaign and playing dirty politics.

Hey wake up …time to stop dreaming. You should have switched the names from Obama to Hillary and Hillary to Obama. It will make more sense. Wake up…seriously.

behind Hill till the end   June 2nd, 2008 3:21 pm ET

HRC supporters will not just bend over and let ourselves be taken advantage of- just to benefit the corrupt and sexist DNC.

Michelle Obama said that she would have to think about voting for Hillary Clinton, were Hillary the nominee of the democratic party.

Well, I have the same right as Michelle. So do millions of other democrats.

If Michelle, the wife of a democratic nominee can fail to support her party, unless her husband is the nominee….so will many HRC democrats fail to support the party, unless HRC is the nominee.

There is no doubt that Obama came from heaven to help save his fellow Americans from their worse enemies, themselves. lol

Hawaii IS heaven! lol

Obama is LESS Chicago and FAR MORE Hawaii!

That is why Obama seems so unique and IS that unique to the 'mainlanders': That island tranquility and island living are far more soothing to one's disposition.

james   June 2nd, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Rj…. I agree.
But it's not too late for us to show just what kind of support and loyalty Hillary supporters have.

We know she's the most qualified and we know what the DNC and the Obama crazed fools did in this campaign (the caucuses - WHAT a joke! and Obama giving Hillary the finger - like that's presidential material)

Goodbye Bill and Hill. You were yesterday's news and it showed just how out of touch you are in today's computer age. People aren't sure if you even realize that your old style of politics turns people off. It seemed you hurt your wife's candidacy more than you helped it.

Jules   June 2nd, 2008 3:21 pm ET

Well, that's unfortunate. But also a good thing. It's time to stop looking to recapture the distant past and build a better and brighter future. If you don't want to be part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I feel a bit sorry for the former pres, whom I have aways asmired. It must be hard to watch a loved one lose and be attacked ad criticized, but all candidate spouses are under the same strain and not all have made as frequent and over the top gaffes. Time to move on.

Dave in VA   June 2nd, 2008 3:21 pm ET

There are many fruitful things you could be doing than fighting a lost battle. Share this enlightment with Hillary. She doesnt seem to be concious.

The NY Post has stunned New Yorkers with a headline this afternoon that reads "HOME ALONE Hill back in NY after quitting trail". The media has been waging a negative campaign against Hillary Clinton for months now. Just as manipulative as the Bush debaucle in Florida. Where has freedom of choice gone. Was it always just a myth in our country?

NoMcSame   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

June 2nd, 2008 12:58 pm ET

The truth. I could see myself voting for Hillary or Obama because they are about the same, which is good. I thought that they would make a great team no matter who was at the top of the ticket. But I got turned off by the way Hillary began to play the race card and push the people apart. Obama stayed the course and on point the whole time. At one time I even thought that Obama maybe should let her have the front because he is younger and has more time to get the training for the next eight years,that is if she did a good job. It's a shame how this thing has turned out. Now McSame may win and more American lives will be lost because of it.
What are we going to do?

He's the main reason she losing!   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

She relied only on her husband's positive presidential history and completely ignored the negative.

Millions of Democrats have not forgotten. His arrogance and sexual misconduct was enough for me to say 'no' to her long before Obama even decided to run.

He is the reason she did not get my vote.

Quinn   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I support Obama big time, but I will NOT support insults directed at the Clintons or their supporters.

It's time for everyone on both sides to grow up. A John McCain presidency, a war with Iran and $12 a gallon gas is waiting in the wings if we don't.

This may shock you, but not every supporter is willing to DIE for their candidate (whoever it may be). MOST of us simply have a preference for a particular candidate. The media won't interview people who AREN'T angry and outraged.

JB   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

GOOD-

GO AWAY

Vig   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

I it just inconceivable that a nobody like Obama, belonging to a racist and sexist church for over 20 years would be elevated to a position of Presidential nominee. This is like belonging to the KKK. How this empty, clanging sloagneer got this far is an enigma. It is up to Montana and South Dakota to send a message that Obama should hit the road Jack. And for all this talk that the Democrats will come together in August - you can count this Democrat out. The depth of sexism in this country is astounding and the reason a superficial, smiley face like Obama would even be considered Presidential material. I am totally disgusted and for loyality - I will be donating again to Hillary on the eve of the last primaries.

LifeLongDemocrat   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

And how is is that Obama will win over the Clinton supporters? They apparently don't care about us so we will go for McCain or a Hillary write-in. End of story!

Matt   June 2nd, 2008 3:19 pm ET

Please please please let it be over tomorrow. This has been a good set of primaries, and I'm sure lots of Democrats are glad they got to vote for a candidate when in most years it's already decided early on, but this needs to end.

Brian Knoxville, TN   June 2nd, 2008 3:18 pm ET

Bill,
DO NOT STOP FIGHTING. Some of us might not have followed politics enough to know it, but this country needs Hillary's ideas and her strength AND the Democratic Party needs her to save it from itself by nominating yet another candidate who loses the presidency. How many Democratic candidates have we seen lose the election? And the one the Democratic leaders are about to gamble with doesn't even have a fraction of the experience or abilities to win a general election or do the job that all the losers who came before him had.

FIGHT ON!

HILLARY CLINTON '08

Joyce in Florida   June 2nd, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Negativity breeds contempt. Just look at the comments from Obamabot supporters. Really sad and pathetic. Just goes to show you the type of mentality these people have who want Obama as the nominee. I hope Hillary Clinton keeps fighting for the nomination. SHE IS THE BETTER CANDIDATE TO RUN AGAINST JOHN McCAIN!!!!!!!!!! Keep fighting all the way to the convention Senator Clinton. You do not deserve these negative comments. FLORIDA STANDS BY YOU 100% AND SO DO MOST OF THE STATES IN THE USA. go hillary 08!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, you will be president in 2012. The ones who betrayed you and the party do not deserve our support.

Time to celebrate! Bill Clinton will be out of our faces once again.

United We MUST Stand   June 2nd, 2008 3:17 pm ET

I do hope that this might be the "last day" from Bill Clinton.

I believe that Democrats need to use some of that 'strategery' that the GOP has sucessfully used in the past…. the Clinton name will galvanize Republicans better than anything they can do for themselves (and always has). The Republican Party has no new ideas, but the Clinton name works magic for them for whatever reasons they can conjur for themselves — and they will be able to pull people out of church pews and trailer parks to vote against that name. I am sorry to offend Clinton backers, but those are the facts on the ground.

Clinton supporters who say that they will not vote for Obama indicate that they would rather doom themselves and their loved ones (not to mention the country) to more of whatever they got together for to change when this election cycle started, rather than accept the results of rules that everyone (including Clinton) agreed to at the onset.

If what happens in deepening the divide between Americans is because there is a Clinton name in the mix (for whatever reason), I hope this is the Clinton's last day.

Obama is scum   June 2nd, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Obama is scum- he cheated, trashed Hillary, mocked and jeered her, lied about her and ridiculed her, strong-armed her supporters at caucus, and threatened the superdelegates into going against their stated purpose in close primaries and supporting Him.

We will not vote for Obama after all the crap he has pulled and all the divisive hatred he has encourged and stirred up.

Clearly he is no uniter and not a agent of change.

Dee   June 2nd, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Former Clinton supporter   June 2nd, 2008 3:17 pm ET

Please don't blast Hillary any more. We should unite for the fall so that we can get our country back on track.

However, can somebody explain to me why Hillary has the audacity to ask for more money and continue to spend people's money on a futile quest? Forget politics, Is this a fiscally responsible policy? Why would anyone invest in a stock that is headed down and has very very little upside if any?

I guess this explains why the American economy is in trouble. I wonder if there's an overlap between current contributors to Hillary's campaign and people who signed mortgages they couldn't afford.

I blame the contributors. She has millions of dollars and will be ok, but you idiots keep throwing your money down a well.

It seems that Bill opens his mouth without thinking. There were some times in the past that I am sure that Hillary was really upset with his comments.

Hillary has NOT given up yet.

I think Bill was just trying to say that he enjoyed campaigning again.

Hillary really needs to give it up. I use to love the Clinton's , as a young voter after this campaign and some of the things that have come out of Bill and Hillary's mouth, I don't know. A lady always knows when to leave I question now if Hillary is a lady cause her time to leave was long ago.The next part of history does not have her name there as president got over it and try later. But right now she is leaving such a bad taste in your mouth that I don't know if I could vote for her in the future.

Daniel Schlafer   June 2nd, 2008 3:16 pm ET

Mr President Clinton — thank you for the effort ! You have all ready proven that you are a bigger man than David Axelrod , David Plouffe , and Senator Obama will ever be ! You did not really respond when the Obama Campaign accused you of racism . We all know the Republican Party will respond in many more ways than one when the Obamiacs bring up . " racism" ! Shame on David Axelrod for going on national cable television and doubting your leadership ! He belongs on a fat farm .

ConfusedDem   June 2nd, 2008 3:15 pm ET

For some reason, this comment has not been allowed by CNN moderators twice before. Let's see if it goes this time. . .

Obama will, unfortunately lose the general because he turned off enough Dems and Independents by cheating to win the nomination.

He refused to stake out his positions early on, promising sunshine and lemonade while Clinton, Edwards and others split the rest of the vote. He played the caucus system perfectly because he couldn't win enough primaries (where everyone gets a chance to vote). Once it was a one-on-one contest and he had to say where he stood on the issues, he won only one more primary after Super Tuesday that did not have a huge Black population.

He's limping into the convention ONLY because of his early "strategy" and because MI and FL didn't fully vote.

If you poll the voters of IA, WI and MO today (his three big non-Black "wins"), he'd lose to Hillary.

Do you really think America's going to elect a kid who had three weeks of Senate experience before he announced he was the most qualified person on earth to be the Leader of the Free World?

I can't believe the Dems are going to hand what should have been a lose-proof general election to the Repbulicans!

I realize the news now are updated much more frequently, but the editing standards do not really have a justification for hitting the bottom. In almost all the stories, there are spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. I am just not happy with this standard CNN has settled for.

No to Obama   June 2nd, 2008 3:14 pm ET

If Hillary Clinton gets thugged and beaten out of this primary race- 17 Million plus of her supporters will make sure that the DNC learns a lesson in Nov.

How dare you favor and advantage the lesser candidate and disadvantage and attack the better candidate? How dare you fix a primary in America?

The DEMS need to look at how they fear the racism label, but are quite comfortable disrespecting, attacking, and gang-raping the women of their party- even the most presidential candidate of them all.

Chris   June 2nd, 2008 3:14 pm ET

HILLARY SHOULD PULL OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE RUNNING THAT HAS THE FIGHT NEEDED TO CORRECT THE 8 YEARS OF BUSH.

SHE WILL PULL ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN WITHOUT ANY REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC TYES WHICH WOULD PUT HER IN A POSITION TO GET SOMETHING DONE WITHOUT OWEING ANYTHING TO ANYBODY BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHICH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

THERE IS SO MUCH FIGHTING BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES THAT THE NEEDS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GOT LOST AND CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE INSIGHT TO THE PEOPLES NEEDS AND KNOWS HOW TO GET THINGS DONE.

Well, this was to be expected.

My view is that Senator Clinton AND Bill will have no option but to support Obama. Anything less will quickly earn them the wrath of Americans who cannot stand to see McCain win in Nov.

Americans cannot even imagine having another Bush Term with a McCain win. They are going to mobilize and do whatever it takes to win, even if this means kicking the Clintons under the bus if they don’t come onboard.

if this isnt a sign that hillary's campaign is over, then it certainly will be a crippling factor for the future. alot of people voting are doing so on the basis of the clinton name, mainly Bill's, and even though primaries are over, superdelegates will recognize that.

Alex   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Bill Clinton did so much for this country.
The least you could do is show some respect if you have any decency in you.
Try and be grateful.. that's what's wrong with America.

Thomas   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Thank you for your service and money you have given over the years, your where a great president, and It was a great time in my life! - Try to ignore the Obama supporters they dont really mean it!

All you did was have relations with a women, we where not in a war, you made our economy rich, other countries loved us and you!

Thanks again Bill!

robert   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Hopefully its her last campaign too

fred   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

She can run as independent and will win the white house or wait until
four years of Mccain term and run unoppose.in democratic primary.

Ben   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Go home Hillary, before you destroy the party and make McSame president!!!

MJE WPG   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Bill, for the first time in a long time I agree with you.
Good Bye and Good riddens. Wish we could say it was fun, but that would be a lie.And we don't lie now do we Bill.

Mike   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

does that mean he is no going to campaign for Obama? ruthless !!!

Sumaya Conners. East Chatham, NY   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Ever since Barack ran they have said Sen Hillary Clinton's campaign is over, over, over, step down, you are finished.
I believe she is not finished and it is not over yet.
Just you all wait, Hillary Clinton is a strong candidate and she has all the people of this country's support. The delegates who are bought by Barack are the ones you should say "hasta maniana"!

jpmarlin   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Good riddance, goodbye, so long.

Karen from Texas   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

Good!!! Maybe you could talk your wife into joining you.

Independent   June 2nd, 2008 3:12 pm ET

I guess that means Obama will not be having the Clinton baggages following him. Good to know — especially that Hilary won't be trying to highjack Obama's VP slot.

Margaret   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

The Vanity Fair article is a lie!

rayofhope   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Not to correct you CNN, but its South Dakota and MONTANA primaries. Not South Dakota and Michigan. But at any rate and with all due respect to Mr. Clinton, I think he did more harm than help to his wife's campaign and if she should make another run for the office in 2008 or 2012, I feel his role should be minimal.

I feel that the Democrats would have taken a beating in this year's election if Mrs Clinton was the candidate. Not because she could not do the job but because of the political enemies within the Republican Party.

Mr. Indie   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Um, I think the article meant to say Montana rather than Michigan as I'm pretty sure Michigan won't be voting again :)

Monica   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

I think its the Montana primary, not Michigan that's tomorrow.

Kirk in New York   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Not a moment too soon.

Kenneth M   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST DAY. TOO BAD SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR, AND LIED ABOUT BOSNIA. THOSE ARE THE TWO THAT DID IT FOR ME. EVERYTHING ELSE I WOULD EXPECT A POLITICIAN TO DO, BUT TO VOTE FOR THIS WAR, AND LIE ABOUT SOMETHING SO EASY TO DISPROVE MAKES ME DOUGHT HOW SHARP SHE IS.

Obama supporter and a woman   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Senator Clinton has launched an impressive campaign, but it is now time to get behind the Democratic nominee and let's WIN IN NOVEMBER!

Samuel T. Horton   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Senator Obama will be the nominee.

Congratulations to him.

Obama fans: Show Bill and Hillary Clinton some respect . They have earned it.

No to Obama   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

If Hillary Clinton got thugged and beaten out of this primary race- 17 Million plus of her supporters will make sure that the DNC learns a lesson in Nov.

How dare you favor and advantage the lesser candidate and disadvantage and attack the better candidate.

The DEMS need to look at how they fear the racism label, but are quite comfortable disrespecting, attacking, and gang-raping the women of their party.

Dean   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Good Bye Bill!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Take Hillary and your bogus math with you. Now that you and your wife split the Party because of her selfishness (not tenaciousness!) It was clear moths ago the race was over.

Your hypocrosy is clear when you claim to cherish "every vote" yet you were willing to disregard the many legitimate voters who didnt vote because of being told it wouldnt count. Your slogan became clear…"We cherish every vote…..as long as its for Hillary!"

To be truly fair to the voters in Michigan and Florida and the rest of the 48 states who followed the rules, the DNC should have would have withheld all their votes. Hillary should be thankful she got what she did.

Wow, she got beat by someone who a year ago, nobody ever heard of!

Carl   June 2nd, 2008 3:11 pm ET

Why Hillary won't just give up? She should campaign backing Obama before the election. She's wasting time effort and most of all money. Why not spend it on something beneficial for the people or for the Democratic Party campaign for the coming election? Do I sound logic?

brenda ,minnesota   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

when Senator Obama is sworn in as POTUS is when Senator clinton will end her presidential bid for four years.

Plow Boy   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

That's "didn't know". Bad Plow!!

CJ from Kansas City   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

good riddance to bad nuisance!

sidney jacobs   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Does this mean that President Clinton will not Campaign vigorously for the Democratic nominee. And, if so, what does that say about his character as a true leader. I hope that is not what he is saying.

lee   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

He will be involved in a campaign again. Hillary should run again one day. She would be a good candidate, she just got beat by the better person.

Nia   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

OMG!! The first step to recovery, is admitting it to yourself. Now if we can just get Hillary to do the same…

Brian Seattle   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Preseident Bill Clinton was probably the Best President we have ever had. The people who think otherwise were losers doing his Presidency and are Bigger Losers Now!!!

George   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

I sure hope this is his last day, Bill take your family and their twisted minds with.she might be able to run for dogcatcher?

isaac collins   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

bill clinton is one of my favorite us president…america wont forget the clinton and yes the memory will be good

Kris   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Bill Clinton says, "I thought I was out of politics, until Hillary decided to run. Bull. This guy is always lying. They had been preping for this since she ran for senator in NY. All I ask for in the Clintons now is to help UNITE the democratic party. If they are true democrates.

Realistic   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

Bill, it's time to start rebuilding your image. Come towards the light and endorse Barack!

CW4Barak   June 2nd, 2008 3:10 pm ET

GO HILLARY RUN RUN RUN

JT, AZ   June 2nd, 2008 3:09 pm ET

President Clinton needs to make the same kind of speech he did in 1988. As noted on Ben Smith's site:

*The flashback in this case is to May 6, 1988, when Mike Dukakis was the presumptive nominee, though still short of the majority of delegates.

From that day's AP wire:

"Gov. Dukakis has emerged as the voters' choice, the clear leader in the Democratic nomination process," said Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, described as the leader in the effort to round up the gubernatorial support that was announced during the day. "It is time for the party leadership to unite behind his candidacy," he said. *

Clinton Supporter   June 2nd, 2008 3:09 pm ET

I am so incredibly impressed that Hillary Clinton, true to her word as usual, is going to the very end with this thing. Just imagine how hard she'd fight for YOU as president. She's no quitter. Win or lose, she's not backing down. Winning candidates always pay off each other's debts, so that's irrelevant. But no more Clintons, that IS relevant. Certainly Bill and Hillary gave us the most successful and productive presidency in the latter half of the twentieth century.

The BO contingents want us to think the 1990s were the bad old days. The bad old days of 22 million new jobs, a balanced budget, no deficit, a strong dollar, help to pay college tuition, lower interest rates on credit and mortgage and student loans, welfare under control at long last and the Earned Income Tax Credit - the best thing that ever happened to working poor. What's to miss on that list?

Mike   June 2nd, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Yes please take her home. Even NY doesn't want her.

RRO   June 2nd, 2008 3:08 pm ET

Bill Clinton served the United States with immense talent. Despite some private indiscretions, he lead the US through a time of prosperity and peace like no other in recent memory. He did what any husband would do and defend his wife, and fight to help her realize her dreams.

He may have made some mistakes but if I had to guess, history will still remember the Clintons in a positive light. Something also tells me that this is not the end of the Clintons.

joy   June 2nd, 2008 3:08 pm ET

BILL
you have lost your campaign ability
maybe you tryed to hard because hillary is your wife
good luck in the future
bye bye

Ex-Hillary supporter   June 2nd, 2008 3:08 pm ET

End it gracefully Bill, and Hillary, and you may still redeem yourselves.

Terp08   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

IT'S about time!!! Now please unit the party!!

Democrat all the way to the White House :)

Veterans for Obama   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Could be interpreted many ways. I think Hillary will stick around and wait till the Super vote in August. My only hope is she stops campaigning, the time for that will end today.

Steve   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

This election has been a very interesting learning experience. It was more than politics as usual. You come to expect some of the political posturing but expecting the American public to believe you are winning when you are not really takes the cake. I guess we're completely stupid and can't count. I guess rules were made to be broken when you're behind the eight ball. regardless of if Democrats will win, the game still needs to be played by the rules. if it can change in the middle why play at all?

Farrell, Houston, Tx   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Bill, just don't curse us out like Ickes did.

Irma in North Carolina   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Bill. i dont think you did your wife too much good. What people see about you is all the affairs you had while you were in the white house. America doesnt want another white house like that.

Leader of the popular vote   June 2nd, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Give it up hillary. You can not make up your own rules to win an election.

Take it to the Convention   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

So what if taking this to the convention damages the DEMS chances in Nov?
Didn’t the DEMS (Oprah, Kennedys, Kerrys, Shrivers, Dean, Pelosi, the DNC, both Obamas, Richardson and the pro-Obama supporters intentionally work to DAMAGE Hillary Clinton’s chances?

Didn’t they attack her in personal, hateful, negative, unethical and unfair ways?

Clinton owes her party and the DNC nothing. She should exercise her right to take it to the convention.

???   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

What about campaigning for Barack Obama should he prevail? Senator Clinton promised to do anything in her power to put Democrat in office. What about you Bill?

Timothy   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Hope so!

Janet, American via Canada   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Bill Clinton, was really campaigning for himself, not HIllary!
He had his follies and wanted to continue having them at the expense of the American People.
Yes, Hillary has try to become President, and a good battle, but she must show what she is really made of by supportin the Party and true devotion to the American People, in their darkest hours with this current administration!
Senator Clinton must make her personal decision now!

Mike   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

So one of the Democratic party's most popular figures seems to be saying that he's not going to be on the campaign trail for Obama? Unusual approach to uniting the party, IMHO.

JP   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Hillary Clinton is causing division among the party. She is all for herself not the people. I saw it from the beginning, and she is confirming my thoughts.

Terrence (Winston Salem, NC)   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Amen to that.

Obama all the way..   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Good, now with all due respect, will you take your silly wife and go back to Arkansas.

Thank You.

And don't take this the wrong way, but I'd be very happy never to hear from either of you again.

Barack Obama 44th president   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Bill Clinton, this has to be the last day, and please stop running the new ad that makes a "popular vote" pitch because it's not accurate.

It's time to end all of this with the truth !

Sen. Obama took his name off of the ballot because he was abiding by the DNC rules. All those who showed up anyway to vote were told to cast their vote for Obama as uncommitted.

Clinton can NOT claim those votes because the Rules and Bylaws Committee did the fair and right thing by giving the 55 uncommitted Michigan delegates to Sen. Obama. This makes Obama the popular vote winner !

Popular vote count:
Obama - 17,961,368
Clinton - 17,916,763

SEN. OBAMA LEADS BY 44,605, and that figure will increase on Tuesday when Montana and S. Dakota votes.

The record has been set straight, so no matter how Clinton tries to spin it, everyone including the superdelegates know the TRUTH !

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

Paul   June 2nd, 2008 3:06 pm ET

Of course you'll see the Clintons disappear as soon as Hillary is not the candidate. Why support the party's nominee if it's not them. They'll bail on Obama just like they did Al Gore in 2000. I'd love to see the Clintons put party and country above self-interest, but I doubt it'll happen.

SAM2008   June 2nd, 2008 3:05 pm ET

The Clintons you are the BEST in politics and i wish you could come back to teach those people what is good for them

Jose'   June 2nd, 2008 3:05 pm ET

What is even more sad is that Obama and Michele are worse, and younger.

CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHO WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA IN THE GE ARE RACISTS! THEY ARE RACISTS BECAUSE THESE TWO CANDIDATES HAS ALMOST THE SAME POLICIES—THEY BOTH WANT US OUT OF THIS WAR, THEY WANT GAS PRICES LOW, THEY WANT HOUSING MARKET FIXED, THEY BOTH WANT ALMOST THE SAME THINGS…BUT THE REASON WHY THEY WON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA IS BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR……REGARDLESS…

OBAMA WILL WIN AGAINST MCCAIN!

It's time to get in line and help kick the BUMS out of the White House

DEM 08

vahe   June 2nd, 2008 3:05 pm ET

all cliton supporters can do to help Obama. We dont want Mccain to takeover, because Americans are tired of Bushes faild policy. McShame should be defeated and Democrats will take over to bring this country back togather. We need to have democrat because America will claps becasue of this Iraq war. Iraq war is a business its not for freedom Oil companies and republicans hold our troops there to make their money and kill people for oil. Americans should feel bad when other countries call us oil hunters!!!! Democrats 08!!!

JG   June 2nd, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Wow, could the Clintons actually be planning a graceful bow-out? My opinion of them has steadily declined in recent months, but if they could manage some decency now, I'd feel much better about the Dem. party's already good chances this fall.

Ed, Santa Fe NM   June 2nd, 2008 3:04 pm ET

PUT IT IN WRITING, BILL…. then both you and Hillary can shut up and GO AWAY

Not a day too soon, Bill !!!

G0 Hill   June 2nd, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Clinton can and SHOULD take it to the convention like previous (white male) democratic candidates have done. Those are the rules. Plus, she is in a much closer race than any of the boys ever were when they exercised that right.

Cath   June 2nd, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Wow, it seems that Bill doesn't want to campaign for Sen. Obama, which, of course, is not a surprise….I used to have high regards for former President Clinton, however, during this campaign he has shown a side which is disrespectful, dishonest and phony..oh wait, those are qualities we have always seen! I don't think either Clinton will wholeheartedly embrace Sen. Obama's nomination because their "entitlement" feelings just get in the way. Sure, alot of us would like to see a woman in the White House, however, we want a competent, honest and non-divisive woman in the White House and that is NOT Sen. Hillary Clinton. Quite frankly, with the way she has acted these past few months, she truly does not deserve the so-called "respect" she is getting and everyone is just playing into her arrogant and entitled little hands!

Jo Ann   June 2nd, 2008 3:04 pm ET

So glad he finally recognizes this, hope he can convience his i am the
most qualified for the office of president on day one. Good luck Bill.

Poor America   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Unfortunately for Americans, the DNC and the media has thrown Hillary Clinton to the wolves- just to install their leftist boy Obama.

Obama started strong but his momemtum has petered out.

By Nov, few DEMS will be voting for Obama- just the Blacks and the adoring youth still trust him.

Tired of W, OH   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Why do the Clintons continue to lie about winning the popular vote? You can't win the popular vote if all states do not share the same voting format. As Hillary supporters would scream at their top of their lungs: YOU CAN'T DISENFRACHISE THE [CAUCUS] STATES!

Deaf ears….Vision fading…nighty night Hillary.

Pete in OR   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

NoMcSame   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

He likes to do the wild thing. Now she will have time to keep an eye on you. I hope she leaves your A–.
At least Obama RESPECTS his WIFE and does not subject her to the things that Bill does. I wonder how many STD's he has had in his life. Actually I really don't care. Hillary get in the wind before it's too late. That stuf is like luggage.
Obama loves and RESPECTS his wife. Why hate a good man?

Binh   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

Bill's speaking the truth here.. It's about time Hillary drops out of the race..

That said, there's no better way for Obama to show that he's a uniter than for him to unite with Hillary and have her as his vice president..

BARRACK ALL THE WAY   June 2nd, 2008 3:03 pm ET

THANK GOD GET OUT

Mark   June 2nd, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Bill has abused the honor of ex presidency in an unprecedented way. He went too low to get his wife elected. He put a lot of us on mental torture when we had to go against how he was campaigning because we loved him once.

I hope he will find something more valuable to do for the mankind.

JJ in NY   June 2nd, 2008 3:02 pm ET

NORA, FLORIDA   June 2nd, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Bill and Hillary need to understand that they ran a tough and vigerous campaign that set records. No one is denying that but there comes a time when the lights go out and the party is over but the Clintons have hung around like the drunks in the parking lot causing major damage. I use to have major respect for them and even voted for Bill Clinton but and had the same respect for his wife as a woman. However that soon changed when she became everything that I am not…. divisive, nasty, compulsive lier, improperly managing her campaign funds, etc…

Joyce Bolli   June 2nd, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Puh-leeze Hillairy. Give it up!!!!!!! You look and sound like a spoiler.

Still for Hill   June 2nd, 2008 3:01 pm ET

Obama is stealing this nomination from Hillary Clinton by playing the race card, running a propaganda campaign and playing dirty politics.

The Media and the DNC went along with the show.

The voters will vote AGAINST Obama in Nov.

How can the democratic party miss the fact that he is a damaged candidate and will never be able to regain the vote of all the voters he has bashed, trashed and mocked and swindled out of a vote?

demwit   June 2nd, 2008 3:01 pm ET

OR…. this was all just a dream…

James in Florida   June 2nd, 2008 3:01 pm ET

For heavens sake give it up.

Why in the world are the Clinton's allowed to keep this fiasco going and deterating the Democratic party.

So far Hillary has put the Dems month's behind the BUSH republicans and given them huge amunition to use against us.

All so she can be president.

It is pretty frightning how bad she wants to be back in the white house.

We have to ask ourself WHY?????

The DNC she stop this now.

Besides Hillar and Bill are members of the secret BUILDERBERG GROUP.

Google it and see what it is, very frightning.

Chuck R   June 2nd, 2008 3:01 pm ET

I would guess the Obama campaign will not want to have much of Bill and Hillary on the trail so that they don't have to give them any credit if they win and can blame them if they lose.

John - NY   June 2nd, 2008 3:00 pm ET

For those of you who claim HRC has won the popular vote I think it should be mandatory that you tell us which states you counted and which ones you didn't, otherwise it's just deceptive.

1. You are not counting certain caucus states - how can a candidate win a caucus but you don't count them as receiving any votes there?

2. You are giving all 300K plus votes in a one-name election to your candidate and counting 0 for Obama. An election tactic similar to some nations we call undemocratic.

3. You are including votes from Florida, which moved the date of its primary so far ahead in the calendar that it clearly tilted the playing field to favor the establishment candidate, who at the time was HRC. Again an election tactic similar to some nations we call undemocratic.
When other nations change the dates of their elections we as a nation cry foul? Why are the HRC supporters in favor of accepting this flawed process?

4. Terry McAuliffe supported the halving of the delegates for Florida and Michigan back when he was DNC chair, because he did not want to see a disputed election. Now that he is HRC's bagman he has changed his tune. So for that matter has Harold Ickes.

I guess they'll way whatever they have to depending on who is paying. Their current paymaster is HRC, who can't afford the bills. So who will pay in the end? The mystery donor to Bill's library perhaps?

How about honesty, the whole story, consistency and openness from HRC and her cabal? Is that too much to expect? Unfortunately, yes it is.

It's time to start the healing and fix the great nation that Bush has so severely damaged. Bush's disastrous war strategy and tax cuts to the wealthy that McCain supports should be soundly defeated. It is critical that our nation unite against the incompetency that McCain supports.

This is the worst election process I have ever witnessed. Hillary has been the target of sexism. Obama plays the race card at every event and yet the Clintons are accused of Racism? Show me one speech Obama has given that has not included a referrence to MLK? Just one, is all I ask. One speech where the urgency of now was not used. One speech where civil rights in some form was not mentioned. I did not think so.
