Clyburn has been critical of former President Bill Clinton.
Clyburn has been critical of former President Bill Clinton.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Several sources tell CNN that House Majority Whip and superdelegate James Clyburn of South Carolina will endorse Senator Barack Obama Tuesday.

Clyburn, whose congressional district went overwhelmingly for Obama in the state's January primary, had said that he would wait to weigh in on the presidential race until the last nominating contest had been held. Earlier this spring, he had made remarks critical of Bill Clinton, calling his conduct on the trail "bizarre," and telling interviewers that some of the former president's actions had deeply upset African-Americans.

"There are African-Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that [Hillary Clinton] can’t win this," he told Reuters. "But they’re hell-bound to make it impossible for Obama to win.”

Great….
First divide the party by playing the race card and attacking the Clintons by calling THEM racist.

Then strong-arm and cheat your way to small wins at the flawed caucus format.

Then spread propaganda about how electable you are.

Then disenfranchise the HRC voters.

Then mock and demean Hillary Clinton.

Then ridicule and demean Hillary Clinton.

Then threaten the DNC to pressure the superdelegates to your side.

And when Obama is STILL TOO FLAWED AND TOO WEAK to win on his credentials and merits- then cry foul again.

What hypocritical losers the Obama camp is

WHAT'S NEW???   June 2nd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

WHO ELSE WOULD HE ENDORSE????? DUH???

Beverly, Houston   June 2nd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

President McCain

She DID NOT win the popular vote!!!

prncssntsoprfct   June 2nd, 2008 6:05 pm ET

sen obama has more respectful to sen. clinton then she has been to him……..all due respect to the hillary clinton supporters on just about every issue sen . obama and sen clinton they see eye to eye it's about winning in nov. and fixing this mess that bush is leaving behind.

Wise White Guy   June 2nd, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Attention Hillary Supporters! I said on Saturday you needed to pay attention closely to what Bill Clinton said because he is her lead surrogate and what he says, she says. I also said pay attention because it would be another example of them lying to your face and i wondered out loud if you would yet again ignore the Clinton camp lying to you and using you as a pawn. Well….. Bill Clinton said "we will abide by the decision of the rules committee" and of course we now we hear that they reserve the right to challenge the decision. So, whats it going to be people? Is it ok they lie to you or not because it sure is not ok with me.

christie   June 2nd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

i AM SO FRIGGIN SICK OF ALL OF THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS TALKING OG ALL OF HER EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She WAS NOT President her husband was. She was the first lady with a failed health care plan, end of story. She didn't do one dang thing that gives her more experience. So she has a couple of years on him in the senate, BIG DEAL. She hasn't mad any great strides in that capacity either. HE is smart and has a plan and I believe is genuine. Lets get behind him and beat the dang republicans. Can you truly vote for MCCAIN when you support Hillary's policies? Why dont you just thinkl please.

California For McCain   June 2nd, 2008 6:03 pm ET

And to the folks hating on Bill Clinton:

Bill Clinton: 2-time presidential winner.

George McGovern: loser.
Jimmy Carter: 1-termer.
Walter Mondale: loser.
Michael Dukakis: loser.
Al Gore: loser.
John Kerry: loser.
Barack Hussein Obama: future loser.

Chad   June 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

If Clyburn previously said he would wait until after the contests, why is he coming out the day before?
Anyway, I hope Clinton supporters will put an end to their irrational and visceral anger. Obama won this nomination by following the rules that ALL candidates agreed upon. If we allow specific candidates to change the rules mid-game, then the integrity of the process is lost and there will be a precedent for rule-breaking in the future.
Please, Obama is the only candidate who can be trusted to get us out of Iraq (Clinton and McCain voted for the war), find real longterm economic solutions (not temporary gas tax breaks that will have a worse effect months later), and brings new approaches (uh, diplomacy) to international affairs (Clinton and McCain both said they want to bomb Iran!).
So please - for our future - vote for progress and not pandering and warmongering.

FRED Atlanta, GA   June 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

It's funny how clinton supporters act like she just played this game fair and square and how they refuse to see the lies she's told over and over again and running a HORRIBLE campaign. All of you who won't vote for obama just because your candidate lost FAIR AND SQUARE mind you are just as selfish as your candidate WE WILL WIN THE GE without YOU!!!

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!

too late   June 2nd, 2008 6:02 pm ET

You made this nasty hateful bed- by playing the race card in SC.

Obama has mocked and jeered Hillary Clinton- not the reverse.

Obama has brushed Hillary Clinton off his shoulder- not the reverse.

Obama had cheated and lied, has been given every advantage and has taken every opportunity to attack and damage Hillary Clinton.

So stop crying foul. Obama is not entitled just because he is black. What are his other qualifications and experience and merits?

Some of the comments are kind of funny (: This reminds me of ACC basketball…Go Hillary…Go away Obama!

Steve   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Hey independant for obama,

sounds funny for an obama person to say stop the bad atitudes and name calling. Bro I see just as much coming from the Obama campaign as I do Clinton.

And Obama has won!?! Why don't you grow up.

The Truth   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

ATTENTION:

All of you so called Democrats who support Clinton and claim will vote for McLame……….

Leave your membership and keys at the door and dont let it hit you on your way out…we dont need or want you!

Hillary supporters who will still back the Democratic nominee, who will be Obama…..You are welcomed, …enjoy all the danish and coffee.

OBAMA '08!

Hillary 08, the electable candidate   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Thanks Marc…

I agree with your comments… The media and Obama supporters just think the rest of us Democrats will vote for the most radical left winger out there.

Isn't it ironic that in the last 30 years, Dems have only elected one Democrat to office. I guess history is not a favorite subject for the Obama elitists.

Dems can't win on the left, we have to nominate a moderate democrat to win… Duhhhh…

Don't blame Hillary jerks… She tried her best… She called it… "I'm already vetted"… Well, now that we see the real Barack Obama, us conservative Dems tried to tell you… We came out in full force and voted against him….But you wouldn't listen… So, like I said… Don't blame Hillary, blame your naive selves.

I personally won't have a problem voting for McCain. He's more liberal than Hillary according to Ann Coulter and McCain has the experience…

Thanks for playing… You think you have won, but this isn't American Idol…

No Obama

SalBal   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Amazing MATCH

I guess tomorrow is the FINAL, 500 million USD later and 17 million unhappy audience.

I know this is not sport – but it does feel like one and one way or another someone has got to win the match.

Cheer up.

2012 is not that far away

Rena   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

All you Hillary supporters -

How immature you are; if Hillary don't win I want vote for Obama my vote goes to McCain. I thought only adults were allowed to vote; I guess I missed something because you all sound like a bunch of 3 year olds. Marc no one is trying to scare you into anything. Fact is fact; vote for McCain it is definitely your right but believe me you will feel his fury come January 2009. Your household will be affected tremendously and yes you along with all the rest of the Hillary supporters will be murders of our soldiers because you are telling McCain you approve of this war. I am a military spouse whose husband has done three terms in Iraq and it sickens me to hear people like your kind talk with such hate and disguse. Hillary and Obama policies are very much similar so what is the problem here. I'd rather take either one of them over McCain. But I guess you guys aren't adult enough to make that kind of decision.

Theresa   June 2nd, 2008 6:01 pm ET

I am so excited to be able to be at the Excel Energy Center tomorrow night! I love going and watching the Wild play there, it's a great venue for concerts BUT this is going to be the best!

I am bringing my 17 year old daughter who is as excited as I am! I told her that we will be witnessing a great moment in history!

dale in indiana   June 2nd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

what a shocker!!!! an a.a. endorsing an a.a. speaking of being racial.after all the clintons did for the a.a. they have no shame do they…

Dtaylor (Texas)   June 2nd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Hilary is only winning the popular vote if you don't count every vote….but its a bit hypocritcal to say "every vote must count"..then claim you have the poplular vote by an equation that does not count caucus states and some of the votes in MI.

And wasn't it Clinton's campaign that said months ago that its the delegate count at the end that decides the nominee? Oh, that was when she had a huge lead in super delegates…

Griff   June 2nd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I think that Add, was ment to say___ "Seize the Moment"… John McCain… "The Man of the Moment"… The Man who!! Can Deliver for you!!… Think about it….. In November…

Bruce in Florida   June 2nd, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Love it, and yes Florida will vote for Obama…

raul, from louisville ky   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I wonder why Hillary supporters are always saying that they would not vote for Obama in november when nobody has asked them. If you really believe you would not vote for him, don't do it, but stop crying outloud like if somehow that is a threat. I understand that this is the last card Hillary can play in order to change superdelegates minds, but they are not buying it anyways. There is a saying that says that dogs that bark loud will not bite. There are a lot a loud barkers out there.

Washington State   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

The supposed Dems who keep saying they are going to vote McCain need to think only one thing in November… Do you want him to put the next 3 justices on the Supreme Court? McCain = reversal of Roe V Wade , for goodness sakes people lets remember what this is all about and it's not us personally it's our country and the direction it takes in the 21st Century!!!

Keifer S.   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

The Urgency of Now! Obama '08!

Mary   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

President McCain,

Hillary won the popular vote if you don't count caucus states and give no votes from Michigan to Obama. Everyone knows Obama would not have received any votes from Michigan right?

Come on, which side is really trying to disenfranchise voters?

Lindsay   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

To all Senator Clinton supporters/fellow Democrats:

Your candidate fought a long and arduous fight. She is an incredibly strong candidate and worthy opponent to Senator Obama. Unfortunately, it does not look like she will be the Democratic nominee for President. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, why not come together for the good of the party? Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are not THAT different. And certainly John McCain is not an acceptable substitute for Senator Clinton. It’s time to stop bickering and start focusing on the future. If you want more of what you’ve got, then by all means, give your support to McCain.

Throwing your vote to the Republicans out of spite is going to do much more harm than good. It’s time for us to come together to make some positive changes in this nation. I hold no grudge, nor any ill will to any Clinton supporter – regardless of what has been said by anyone in the past. Both groups (Obama supporters and Clinton supporters) are guilty of saying spiteful things to eachother. I think we need to put that behind us. It's time.

Bobby Kennedy once said: “Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.”

Let’s come together and write the history of our generation!

Democrats ’08!!!

Dems 08   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

One more thing…If you believe that Obama doesn't have the experience to address healthcare, education, economy, etc., go ahead and vote for McCain. He has the experience AND chooses to present no real solutions to these issues.

What's worse, a guy with less experience who will work his tail of to make positive reforms to reverse the Bush damage, or a guy with a ton of experience but no real plan to put America back on track?

Jen   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

The problem with this campaign has been the fact that Hillary has not been seen as an individual. Clyburn's statement alone is indicative of it. "Clintons know that [Hillary Clinton] can’t win this," The media had to include HIllary's name because Clyburn did not. He has every right to endorse Obama, but don't go making a fale statement about them making it impossible for Obama to win. Remember, it is not over until tomorrow. It is called democracy. Good grief, I wish people knew what that meant.

A Real Democrat   June 2nd, 2008 5:59 pm ET

This message is only for true democrats! What is everyone talking about? If you are true democrat, it should not make a difference as long as you vote for the democratic candidate.

If Hillary was leading in the delegates and was the candidate, I would vote for her. Barack is leading and most likely will be the democratic candidate. So I will vote for him!

My question, is it disappointment for the Hillary fans? Hell yes! But if you are a REAL DEMOCRAT and don't want John McCain in the White House, then put all your differences aside (race, dislike for him leading or whatever.

Be smart and wake up! Or you will be sorry…

gdouglas   June 2nd, 2008 5:58 pm ET

This presential nomination is nothing but a contest of racial issue. If the white voters voted for Clinton like the black voters are voting for Obama the cry would be DISCRIMINATION but is seems ok for people not to want Clinton becasue she is a woman and a white woman at that. I amke no wonder the USA is in the miserable state that its in. Wouldnt be surprise to see the states become a third world country. You guys seem to hate each other.

Mk   June 2nd, 2008 5:58 pm ET

To Marc in Virginia:

To those of you willing to vote for McCain because Hillary didn't win. Think about this when you tuck in those children and grandchildren or yet to be born children and grandchildren. This exercise (hopefully) will be the true test of your devotion to this country (flag pins just don't cut it). Do you want those young people to live in a world run by the George Bush's and John McCain's of the world? Is Hillary's loss of the nomination so personal that you would sacrifice those children's futures so you can show everybody how ticked off you are? Seems to me the choice is obvious. I would not sacrifice my children's future for spite or any other grudge I might hold. How about you?

J Kay   June 2nd, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Hey NickNas…………can I join the celebration. GO OBAMA!!!!

Too bad.

That will end up putting McCain in the White House

MD   June 2nd, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Bravo! I wish you had done this much sooner. The Clintons do not deserve any respect because they don't respect others (unless it serves their personal, selfish needs and wants).

Is anyone suprised of this news?

Amazed   June 2nd, 2008 5:55 pm ET

To all Clinton Supportors, please take a moment to thnk about what is at stake when you make a decision out of anger. If after you have calmed down and looked at each candidates viewpoints on issues that are important to you, you still want to vote the other way, do so. But nothing, absolutely nothing good comes out of making a decion while angry.

Both of these candidate ran good races but someone had to lose.

Ralph   June 2nd, 2008 5:54 pm ET

LMAO so this is news…did you see his color???????? Kinda like Donna, Martin and that other Racist for Obama. Is Jack black????

What conspiracy? OMG you sound like a sore loser. Stop making up lies and creating more drama. You sound real prejudice and if you are GOD have mercy on your soul. You probably don't even believe in GOD. There is no conspiracy!!! The devil is a liar!!! Obama even after all the drama the Clintons tried to give him won!! Stop the drama!!

VJmem   June 2nd, 2008 5:52 pm ET

As I said before, it's really a shame that for spiteful reasons, I would put myself in a WORST financial condition by voting for McCain. Hell, McCain can hardly remember what he said last week, no last night… someone is gonna have to write out EVERYTHING for him. But, you know, those who won't vote Democrat because Hillary won't get the nod, God bless you and I'll try to understand why you would willingly want to hurt yourselves.

The most spoiled, coddled, lazy generation in American history thinks they can pick a President. I hope they're right, for all our sakes.

maybe CNN will leave this comment on here.

Helen   June 2nd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I think it is time for Hillary to give up and let Obama get on with the fight to beat McCain. We need new leadership and I think Obama is the one who can lead!

An african american supporting Obama? Wow, I'm not surprised anymore.

Caryn, WDC   June 2nd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Hillary has known for some time now that the odds of her winning were just too great. She’s stuck around this long hoping that she will LIE, STEAL, and CHEAT her way to the nomination.

Her claiming to have won the popular vote is the latest example that it’s all about Hillary, not the Democratic party and not the country.

Her kind of experience is exactly what we don’t need.

Beverly, Houston   June 2nd, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Funny.. Everything I see including Murdock from FOX says that Barack will win..

jennyM   June 2nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

I am a bit tired of hearing how Obama could not win without women over 60. Would Hillary have been able to win without the black vote ? If they just sat it out ?

I'd love to see Hagel as VP . He could create a true bipartisian ticket.

dwc   June 2nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Big surprise…yawn….

Daniel Adewumi from Canada   June 2nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

It is incumbent on all Democrates to rally round thier candidates and pocket all these bickering. McCain can only offer another 4 years of Bush but Obama would be as close to Clinton in terms of policy and how to govern. My guess is those who are vetting to go for McCain are racist and sexist who cannot stomach the idea of a black man leading the party and the nation.
This is the best chance for the Democrats in American history, if you blow it up, not even Hillarry will have a chance in 2012. It is more reasonable to unite and support Obama.

jason twombley-missouri   June 2nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

note…if you voted for the arrogant, cheating lying Hillary……just because she is a woman, yolu missed the entire political boat. ISSUES, and appearances make all the difference, not a plump in a pantsuit. geez peeps, you have a brain, and Hillary lost hers in her negativity, lack of spending control, hap hazard campain, and bashing everyone in her path….thus her downfall from a gracious woman to an arrogant ME ME ME !! fool..sorry, Hillary is a no-go……forever

the jackal   June 2nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

oK so now Obama is likely to be the candidate. Time to rally around him folks, all parties,man and women need to unite for the good of the country and the party.
Now talk to gore and the 3 women governors who might be better choices as running mates.
let's get this election on the road.
To the stuper delecates,YOU were no HELP what so ever, And if you also had the countries best intrests at heart, you would alredy of voted. LOSERS

Being First Lady, IS NOT being President. There is a big difference in those two positions. Hillary has no more experince that Barack. Stop using that as an excuse!

To the President McCain poster June 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

You're right. Hillary Clinton would be George McGovern.

1. She didn't include the caucus states
2. She included Michigan, who's votes were invalid

Do you research next time before bashing.

Vote Obama   June 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

I am a supporter of Obama but I always carried respect for the Clintons. HRC showed her true colors during this campaign. She only cares about herself. In the beginning when she was winning she was saying oh Obama can win. Now she is playing the sore loser and her supporters are whiners.Stop the drama and vote Obama. Tired of all the drama and I believe in Obama. Just how I would believe in Hilary. But I am glad its going to be Obama as the nominee.

Freudian slip?

lucky   June 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

The Clinton's have done many great things for this country and I am amazed at how people are so easy to forget - especially young spoiled ones who grew up in such good times- thanks to the Clintons. She is a powerful senator and very effective. she will never give up fighting for people, even the ones who hate her. I think people who hate a women who they do not even know must have their own personal issues with a woman in their life - mother? sister? Such distain and arrogance is truly interesting to for from people who call themselves democrats.

Ignorance   June 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Minority Whip? Don't you mean Majority? Wow lol.

Lisa   June 2nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

I want to encourage all who are for "Obama" and for the "Democratic party" to make sure we help in the win this fall. I don't normally get involved in this but the moment Obama wins the Nomination I will start going out "like he did when he was a community organizer " and get folks to register and vote. You reap what you so! I'm also going to give my first time donation this week and I'm so excited to give and help.

John Smith   June 2nd, 2008 5:48 pm ET

I need help, maybe my Intro to Logic Philisophy course was really that bad because I had it with an "experienced-old professor" (talking about experience).

So, here is my question:

If Hillary cannot even run an effective primary, as a stronger candidate, to defeat this young so-called "inexperienced professor of constitutional law of the U.S.", how can Hillary compete against a more seasoned McCain and the Republican Machine?

The Republican Machine is waiting to open up their war-chests against Hillary and Bill.

Please, let an active supporter of Hillary respond to my dilemma; I await your answer. Thank you for your "honesty."

Victor in NC   June 2nd, 2008 5:48 pm ET

A vote for McCain is a vote to nail the coffen shut on Hillary.
Wave the Clintons goodbye.. Because the Republican's can stand the Clintons.

They are doing everything they can to cause conflict between the DEM..
If you vote for McCain, you better give Hillary & Bill one last look, because the Billary's will be gone forever.

Unless Chelesa gets married! Then they may show some of the wedding clips

enomisa   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Like Michelle Obama, I will scrunch up my nose and have to think about whether I want to vote for the democratic nominee.

Her concern was if HRC was the nominee.

My concern is if Obama is the nominee.

Same right to defect from the democratic party.

Same freedom not to unite behind the party nominee, right?

Doris,Memphis,TN   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Together we stand, Divided we fall!
Remember this in November!

rob   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Why would anyone want to vote for McCain? If you have racial prejudice I guess I understand to some degree but still Obama is a very intelligent candidate. In fact he is one of the most progressive presidential candidates ever. As said by Fidel Castro.

I really think alot of you HRC supportes and even John McCain supporters haven't listen to Obama. This is is the real deal.

Pause and make a rational decision about this. Even though I strongly believe this will be a landslide election.

David, Santa Rosa, CA   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Thank you Rep Clyburn for remaining neutral. Your move now indicates that it is time to unite the part behind our candidate . . . Barack Obama!

Hannah Stevens   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

I would have supported whoever had won the nomination because I do not want to see men deciding family planning for women, equal pay for women struck down, endless wars and the rich not paying for them and more… If McCain were to get in he would appoint more business friendly anti women right wing judges for the supreme court and they will be there for life.

I am glad that Obama is going to be the one; I support him 100% and I am an older, white woman.

Kenneth   June 2nd, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hillary made a lot out of the bitter comment before the Pa. Primary
let bring to whole thing intio clear view Obama didnt cheat ,did not want to change the rules, after the game started,did not say at antytime that she could not win the general election,his supporters are more willing to support her if she was the winner , his supporter were better sports at the weekend meeting of the rules committee,

mikeb8tes   June 2nd, 2008 5:46 pm ET

@ Marc in Virginia
sorry I don´t agree with you there… Common sense should tell you to vote for Obama.
It´s such a shame Obama wasn´t born in the UK, I´d exchange him anyday for our PM Gordon Brown.

James Clyburn endorses Barack Obama. What a shock! .

Shocker!

tell the truth   June 2nd, 2008 5:45 pm ET

I wish everyone would grow up. Stop with all this name calling. I support Obama and his views. I support Hilliary and her views. I do not support McCain on his views. I will vote with facts nothing more. people are going to do what they want to do so let them. They can vote for McCain. Some people might like war or like the price of gas or home prices or all the other stuff he likes. I do not so I will not vote for McCain. I know Hilliary does not agree with McCain so how can her true support like McCain?

Answer not her true supports: Afraid of a Black Man. I speak the truth.

Olivia   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Endorsing Obama! Boy, am I surprised.
Still bad-mouthing the Clintons too, I see. Still thinking race, I see.
When you finish talking bad about this lady, please go and ask her nicely to help Obama from getting whipped by McCain in Nov.

Lynda   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

To all the Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain. There are enough of us republicans who are crossing over to vote for Obama and we will just take your place, so no harm done.

To the Clinton's supporter (I use to be a Clinton Supporter) but when a person will try to change the rules and will do anything to win something the American people have decided on is very scary.

She agreed with the DNC rules one year ago; the DNC actually accommodated her by allowing her to get some delegates, and she was not satisfied.

Bill Clinton knows it is over, why can't she? She may be a fighter, but going by the rules, the majority of the American people don't want her.

Face the facts!

This is the beginning of the building up of 'A Team of Rivals', one of the greatest and most inclusive administrations in the nation's history!!!

Lewnormk   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

As a McCain supporter, I say "welcome aboard, Hillary lovers". With your help in
the fall we can have another 8 years of Republican rule. We can get some good conservatives on the
Supreme Court, maybe reverse some women's rights judgments, continue in Iraq for 100 years, and put in our conservative agenda.
We welcome your support, but are a little curious. Why in the world did you support Hillary in the first place? It cannot be because you were liberal or a democrat, because you have now
switched to our team. Well, who cares what made you switch. Mac needs and welcomes your support. Hope you can contribute some money and do some door knocking for Mac!. Welcome to our team!

Kenneth M   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

DEAR CLINTIN SUPPORTERS,

I JUST WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO UNITE WITH THE PARTY. PLEASE DONT VOTE FOR MCCAIN AS HE OFFERS THE SAME AS BUSH. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE COUNTRY I WOULD ASK THAT YOU ACCEPT THIS OLIVE BRANCH AND STAND WITH US AS WE IMPROVE THE NATION AND MOVE FORWARD. LETS BE BIG ABOUT THIS, MAKE UP, AND GET THE WHITE HOUSE BACK IN 08!

Lynn,

You're an idiot.

To say you'll vote for McCain just because your female candidate didn't get the nomination just shows how little you even understand what you're voting for.

Move on over to the Republican side of the fence. All you're doing is improving the gene pool over here.

Jason   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

How does the will of the people argument hold up when 2 out of 3 CNN counts of the popular vote show Clinton ahead?

The Obama supporters have been extremely vocal about how the superdelegates should reflect the 'will of the people' and not vote however they want.

Now Clinton leads in the popular vote by most estimates. I'm not exactly hearing any outcry from Obama supporters.

Veteran Dixie Girl no to Mclame   June 2nd, 2008 5:44 pm ET

The Truth   June 2nd, 2008 5:43 pm ET

All you women that are voting for the nObama are either stupid or victims of a labotomy.

Either way, John McCain is the far better choice than that big eared Muslim in the Brooks Brother suits.

20 YEARS LISTENING TO ANTI WHITE, ANTI AMERICAN CRAP TELLS ME ENOUGH ABOUT BARACK OBAMA'S JUDGEMENT!

Don't underestimate Obama. He is much smarter than you think. I think McCain will wonder what hit him. He will get it done if we stand behind him.

jfs Memhis, Tn   June 2nd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

To all you lady's who claim you will split this party or vote for McCain. If it hadn't have been for Blacks supporting Roosevelt, Truman, Stevenson, Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey, McGovern , etc. we would not have been able to have a candidate like Hillary Clinton, today or many of the rights that we all enjoy. The BEST candidate is ALWAYS selected….if you think not you are kidding only yourselves. Your vote is a RIGHT not just for you but for all of the USA. It is not something to be used as a punishment or used frivolously because of "just you" and your hurt feelings. There are young people protecting this right in foreign countries as we cast our votes. How dare you girls undermine what has taken over two hundred years to get to this point !! Just because you aren,t getting what you want. HOW SELFISH !!!

Conservative Buyer- CA   June 2nd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

I'm glad I switched from McCain to Obama I'm tired of feeling ashamed of my President. That's why I'm now an Obamacan.

I can't wait for Obama to verbally own McCain.

The "Double Talk Express" ends here.

Bo J.   June 2nd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Thank God that someone is trying to finish this drawn out race, Hillary just can not take no for an answer. It makes me wonder if its not Bill who wants in the White House more than her. We need the Super-Delegates to put and end to this so we can get to the business of fixing our Counrty. Hillary, get behind Obama and help him in Denver and November

cynthia   June 2nd, 2008 5:41 pm ET

independent 4 OBAMA
I agree with your statement if these people abandon the democratic nominee which will be OBAMA, then Hillary Clinton will NEVER,NEVER, NEVER be president and I am sure her senate seat will definitely be challenged since polls have shown that the people in New York have a different view of her now since all of her negative campaigning. Plus many in the senate is upset with her for being so negative.
So people think wisely if you ever want to see your girl in politics again

John Smith   June 2nd, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Those who are urging Obama to take on Hillary as VP should READ and educate themsleves on Bill's scandals and Hillary's baggage. Is this the "dream-ticket" that the Democrats really want? You bet that the Republicans will enjoy taking on such a "ticket."

A Latte Lover, Seattle, WA   June 2nd, 2008 5:40 pm ET

mike hetelekides   June 2nd, 2008 5:40 pm ET

Failed Bush/ McCain policy   June 2nd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

Be careful democrats of some republicans blogging as Hillary supporters…Hillary herself will support Obama
Democrats should unite, but Hillary should not be the VP. This is not because she is not capable, but because both Obama and Hillary will require specific qualifications of their VP to complement certain deficiencies.

Pedeen   June 2nd, 2008 5:38 pm ET

I salute you Hillary! you gave a good fight! lost the war of the primaries but the battle of rebuilding this GREAT NATIONS, economy, un necessary wars, and the Image abroad is still on!, and thats why this Country needs your contribution than ever before!. Please join the Democratic train in any capacity and keep moving on!. There are many elections later to come!.

royaltlocs   June 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

History is being made every day within this campaign and its a priviledge to be a witness of it all. This nation is on the verge of having its first African American nominee and I think we all just need to sit back and be honored that we have the eyes and ears to witness history in the making.

alexS   June 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Can we explain to the Clinton campaign people that Porto Rico cannot vote on Nov. 4th. So there is no point of winning that primary and no point in saying because HRC won PR she can win later.
Clinton fan listening at you how many of you will become Republican for the the GE day?
Please breath deeply and think about the country not about HRC, thanks.

Ann   June 2nd, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Well…ain't that special. Can't wait to see all these faces when this comes back to haunt them. If Obama were lucky enough to be 'given' the Presidency, it's only a matter of time before all his radical friends start to surface. Then our country is doomed. But it still ain't over. The superdelegates know he cannot win against McCain so we can thank them when McCain gets elected in the fall. He will definately get my vote and 18 million more when Hillary is not given the nomination she deserves.

Lorraine Eaves '   June 2nd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Hillary,

ENOUGH! Clawing you way to the presidency by redefining REPEATEDLY the parameters for securing the presidential nomination is simply a return to the 'spin doctoring' that marked your husband's term in office. America deservers a new start and that begins with fresh blood!

Independent in Swing State   June 2nd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

Here's the issue and please post this:

Obama started out with some steam but his electability has
changed. If the primaries were held today, Obama would lose.

The Dems are throwing away the general election.

United we make a difference, not through anger and seperation   June 2nd, 2008 5:36 pm ET

I give HRC a great deal of respect and feel that both candidates have made an amazing impact on voters through this contest. I am impressed with her drive and will to fight. I do hope that both candidates positive impacts in the past months will outshine the negativity that seems to be so rampant right now.

As a true democrat, and seeing the immensely negative impact that one leader, and his party, have had on this country in the last 8 years, I will be throw my support behind Obama now.

Those that are not Republicans, please make your decision based on the best for the country….not for anger, bitterness or damaged pride. That accomplishes nothing positive, in any way shape or form. I want a better country, that I can be even prouder of, for my family.

WHY DO CLINTON SUPPORTERS HAVE TO YELL SO MUCH!!!

Obama is the nominee and has been for a while. Hopefully Clinton can find it within herself and be graceful. If not, too bad because Obama will win in November with or without Clinton's help! Independents and even Republicians will vote for him. He is about to make history!

How is the "fix in"? This man (Clyburn) is a great man with a great history. Do not sully his name by implying a fix was in. No matter who won, there are always people taking sides, that is just politics. Had Hillary Clinton won there would be her folks also calling their chits.

Women voting with their emotions and not their brains are setting the "movement" back hundreds of years.

If a woman never becomes president, you'll be the reason…misogynists are pointing at you "Hillary or McCain!" types and laughing right now…saying "I told you so!"

Act like you have some sense.

RationalWoman   June 2nd, 2008 5:33 pm ET

HRC Supporters:

I understand your frustration that your candidate did NOT win… but let's be logical here. It is absurd to say that you would rather vote for McCain over Obama. McCain stands for everything we HATE as a democrat. This election is BIGGER than us, Hillary or Obama. It is about finally doing the right thing– putting a democrat back in the White House. So we have to stick together……

Mark   June 2nd, 2008 5:33 pm ET

Seriously you people REALLY do sound like that. Really!

Sarah L., Fayetteville, AR   June 2nd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

It's time to wrap it up and nothing about it is unfair to Senator Clinton. The complaints of unfairness make her appear to be weak and her supporters should think about that.

Lee-- Dallas, TX   June 2nd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

FYI:

To all the women threatening to vote for John McCain, I hope you can sleep at night when thousands more of the men and women that serve our country in Iraq and other parts of the Middle East are killed in war that was a mistake to begin with and has been for the most part handled badly.

To all the women threatening to vote for John McCain, I hope you enjoy putting yourselves and seniors through more economic strain with social security becoming privatized under him. Not to mention tax breaks will continue to go to the wealthy and those of us in the middle and lower end will continue to struggle when more jobs go overseas and oil companies make billions while we pay $6 a gallon for gas.

To all the women threatening to vote for John McCain, just remember that the children of this nation will be impacted by your choice. McCain may very well continue the failed policy of 'All Those Kids That Can't Compete' on the world stage.

It is my hope that this hatred will be extinguished when the reality of this nation’s future is put ahead of personal feelings and agendas. Our nation can not take four more years of failed Bush policies. We must come together for the greater good of the country and support the Democratic Nominee; Barack Obama.

Anne E.   June 2nd, 2008 5:32 pm ET

This is not really news, but it's good to know nonetheless.
Hillary Clinton SAYS she's staying in this race because of the voters and because she wants to improve the lives of middle and lower income Americans. However, her actions are purely contradictory.
There are many women who wanted to vote for a woman for president in their lifetime……but Senator Clinton is NOT that woman, much as she thinks she is or deserves to be. To vote for a female candidate solely because of gender is not a good enough reason.
Sorry, Hillary — if you intend to make another run, you would be wise to think hard about the reasons you have lost this time around.

McCain would certainly lose if he lost half the Republican party to our side.

It's amazing how bitter and delusion the Hillary supporters are…at least the ones posting on these comment boards. It's hilarious seeing all these "Obama will lose 49 states" posts too. What a joke. He's obviously going to win Illinois, all 3 west coast states, almost all of the northeast, plus Mn and Wi.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In addition, her and her husband have the award for the most ridiculous flat out lie in political history.

Lynn   June 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

First of all I voted for the best candidate which is Hillary Clinton. Second reason because she is a woman. Everyone already knew who he would endorsed. I would like to know how can anyone vote for Obama with no experience. This is why I will vote for McCain if she is not the nominee. I don't believe in alot of things McCain stands for but do we really know what Obama stands for and who he is. My parents taught me you are judged by who your friends are.

Settle down...   June 2nd, 2008 5:29 pm ET

Everything will be fine in the Democratic party…People will hear enough of John McCain's beating of the war drum and realize what an awful mistake it would be to vote for him. HRC is a strong candidate, but Obama is too.

I am less concerned with experience (I think Obama's is fine by the way) than I am about judgement. Obama's cool-headedness is what American needs more now than McCain's "experience"

Sorry . . .   June 2nd, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Really don't care that all these creeps come out of the closet BEFORE the convention! I wouldn't vote for Obama if the Pope endorsed him!

Everyone said Clinton was a shoe-in for the nomination, now they are all saying that McCain will win against Obama…like I said, can't wait for the debates….Obama will make fodder out of McCain.

Cynthia   June 2nd, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Great. Don't all Clinton supporters see how all of the superdelegates are giving Senator Clinton the respect and time needed to do what she wanted to do. This really could have been over a long time ago but out of respect for her a lot of them waited.

marianna   June 2nd, 2008 5:27 pm ET

What if Hillary does not get a nomination?

Will she rus as an independent?

Would she then pick Obama for VP?

Well, the conspiracy to get Obama the nomination is complete. Too bad these jokers can't even think for themselves and have to meet sub rosa. This Hillary supporter won't be voting for Obama in the Fall. And, please, will you stop with the "oh, if McCain wins it's your fault all these kids die, etc." Guess what, folks, there's a lot more at stake in this election than just the war. We've got health care, economy, social security, crime, and many more issues Barack isn't ready to handle. I won't be bullied into voting for him.

You have to give Senator Clinton credit. How was she able to keep the results so close with those constant attack ads. Impeachment. White Water. Travel Gate. Foster Gate. Heathcare Debacle. Loss of house, senate and governatorial seats. Monica. Bosnia lies. Real estate scandals.

Oh, that's right. Senator Obama didn't use these attacks.
