CNN

Relax ( if you can) Obama supporters. Hillary has to talk tough so that people turn out to vote in South Dakota and Montana. She will come around.

She's twisting the numbers greatly and falsely claiming that she's won the popular vote. She's been trying to twist things in her favor ever since she starting losing the primaries. She knew the rules before going in, and is now just being a poor loser. I DO NOT respect her methods, and she has shown why she would NOT be a good president.

please post

It is NOT over.........go to Denver Hillary.......fight for us!!!!
Obama will NOT win in Nov08 only Hillary can do it.
Hate MSNBC – Chris Matthews too......he is a biased man.....and who cares about his opinion or wants it!!! Get rid of him.

Go Hillary........

I will NOT vote for Obama as many women of America will......NO to O

C'mon people. I have been a strong supporter of Barack Obama almost from the beginning of the campaign over a year ago, but these attacks on Hillary Clinton's character are divisive and unnecessary. While she has not been the most gracious at times, she is a wonderful human being and wants what is best for this country. All presidential candidates are ambitious (including Obama), otherwise they would not run for the highest office in the land. She has run a strong, if at times, flawed, campaign, but she has proven her mettle and deserves our respect for her perseverance and for being the first viable female presidential candidate in history. I salute her.

For some odd reason, she's not getting out. Nothing supports her argument for staying in. I'm not sure if it's her stubbornness, but she’s really making it so much harder for Obama. One must think, does she have something up her sleeve that will totally take out Obama? As much as I detest what she's doing, she's pretty smart.

God bless you Obama!

For everyone who thinks that Hillary is tearing this party apart, think about this. Your beloved Michelle Obama said in an interview to Deborah Roberts that she would have to think about voting for Hillary if her husband lost the primary race. She would have to consider Hillary's tone. Your own possible first lady wouldn't necessarily stick with the Democratic party. But, you think Hillary supporters are supposed to lay down and die for Obama? He is extremely divisive. Also, Obama said in a speech he gave in 2004 that he was not qualified to be president. What changed people?

Hilary needs to wake up. Florida & Michigan should not be counted. They didn't follow the rules. My opinion is they should not be counted at all. What are rules and laws for? Is she so special she can ignore them. We've had enough of the Clintons to last a lifetime!!!!

The only people more delusional than Hillary supporters are the folks still supporting the sell-out Republican Party.
The Clintonites/Republican Wacko Fringe have had 6 months to discredit Barack Obama and have been unsuccessful.
Senator Obama is going to win the general election in a landslide but this country will be the ultimate winner.

Clinton has fought a good fight, she need to understand now that the fight is between dem and rep, Obama is almost impossible to be overtaken now,if clinton's delay in conceding to him would damage the dem chances for the oval office and that would be a big dent on her legacy.

I am sick and tired of all these Democratic Party elites and Obama zealots demanding how this process should work and who we should support. The Democratic Party is headed for a divorce and I know who I'll be supporting – and it won't be those latte sipping, finger shaking, self-important elitist.

Super delegates please vote for Hillary the most qualified candidate.

Me and my family will vote for Hillary (if she is the nominee) or McCain in November.

Instead of everyone saying it is over....wait until she said it is over for her.....!! She is the one that is running here.....NOT YOU!

It's not over until she meets two objectives:

1) sabotage the race so the GOP wins and she can run in 2012
2) raise enough money so that others can pay off her debt

1 is not far off, 2 may not be either, depending on the number of people who still think she really needs the cash.

Hillary has lost the respect of Americans by continuing in the race which every one except her and Bill know, she can get. Clintons can't get over that "the shoe -in candidate" has to loose.

Foreign press is having great time in reporting negatives about US democracy. Thanks Bill and Hillary..leave us alone

Although Vilsack is dealing with reality and common sense, the Clinton campaign does not and will continue their fight since they care nothing for the party and only for power.

I THINK HILLARY SHOULD START BACKING OBAMA RIGHT AWAY. SHE SHOULD START ENCOURAGING HER SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR OBAMA IN NOVEMBER FOR THE SAKE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I THINK HILLARY WOULD MAKE A GREAT VICE PRESIDENT. SHE'LL STILL MAKE HISTORY AND SHE CAN RUN AGAIN AFTER OBAMA HAS SERVED HIS TWO TERMS AS PRESIDENT!

I can only hope that the superdelegates will come over in such numbers that it would be pointless for her to raise a tantrum at the convention. Michigan's four disputed votes won't matter one iota. We have to get this thing over with and move forward. If she would concede gracefully, she might have a shot at a nice cabinet post, or something. Not the Vice Presidency, please God. There's never been two Vice Presidents at one time, and I don't ever want to see it.

About time she listened to someone. It is very sad that she thinks that the name CLINTON should conjure up the Presidency just like it is their right. Look at Kennedy name it did not get Ted any benefits to become the President at all. He took it to his heart and went forward and became the best Senator for USA.
Hillary should take that example and move forward to either become the best Senator or if she wants the job of a Supreme Court Judge that would be available as well to her soon. It is her decision what she wants.
1. Tear the party up
2. Become the best Senator like TED Kennedy
3. Supreme Court JUDGE WHERE SHE WILL HAVE A BIGGER CLOUT THAN SHE WILL AS A PRESIDENT.

Everyone sees it but her. By the way, I'm running a parrellel table throughout the coming days to see what everything would look like if she had gotten Mich and Fla exactly the way she wanted (meaning Obama gets zero in Mich). And nothing changes. She's still behind in every count.

at long last, will the Clinton's reign of terror over the party be over? 16 years is far too long– how they seriously damaged Gore's chances in 2000, their zero support for Kerry in 04– craftily setting up her coronation for 08... but plans, all those silly plans– that never come out just right.

Support McCain

Support him if you want us to slip to a 2nd world status and you want more dead and maimed Americans and more hate towards the US from the rest of the world.

Has anyone else noticed how many recent photo ops of Hillary has involved alcohol? She's like the drunk that sticks around when the party's over. She just won't go away and keeps asking for another "shot." It's intervention time.

I think she will bow out tomm. night. I can't see her winning because it looks like the stupids are going for Obama. I really hope she doesn't campaign for Obama though and just take a 4 month vacation she needs it and did a terrific job. Let all the stupids go out and get the 17 million she brought in to the party, or maybe turncoat Richardson could, like he brought in the Puerto Rico vote for Obama when he campaigned there.

The DNC are going to have a rude awakening in Nov. not to mention the Oct. surprise thats brewing.

Only a brave heart can accept defeat and give due respect to the opponents.

It is NOT over – Hillary is the best qualified, and there are way too many people being dazzled by Mr Sparkle and Flash Obama.

The win in Puerto Rico should give all something to think about. There will be no way Obama can win in the fall without the Hillary supporters, and his campaign has alienated too many of us at this point.

Why do I bother to read all of the Hillary-hatin' while eating my lunch? Makes me lose my appetite...

Did anyone watch watch Anderson Cooper's show friday night? If they had, they would have learned how totally, underhanded and ruthless Obama is. Even Cooper Anderson asked why the media hadn't done its job by investigating and reporting on the real Obama. His true self is not at all like the smiling, personable persona he's presented during the primaries. People who think he can win in the fall should consider that. The media hasn't been doing its job, but from past elections it should be clear that the Republicans are great at uncovering dirt and they'll reveal every dirty thing they can find on Obama if he becomes the Democratic nominee. At least with Clinton,we all know where all her warts are.

Another idiot... do we really need anyone telling us it's over? Let it be over once someone reaches the required amount. If that happens tomorrow, so be it – but why call something before it's true?

I as an independent, however, will not vote for the false hope of change and the theif Obama really is. He used the same tactics he used in Chicago and he's pathetic.

HE SIMPLY IS NOT FIT TO RUN OUR COUNTRY.

Hillary supporters – McCain'08 for Clinton '12. Hillary is truly the best candidate.

Obama stole the nomination from her. He should never have run...I can't wait for Obama to lose in the fall.

Sen. Clinton maybe has the 90% of superdelegates to win the nomination because I dont know what will keep else will keep her in the race.

Besides, the superdelegates can end the process today if they open a floodgate to Obama, that hasnt happen.

If you liked living under Bush, you're going to love McCain.

I think most of the commenters here claiming to be Hillary Supporters voting for McCain are actually Republicans that would never vote for a Democratic candidate on a bet.

Hillary is acting and campaigning more like republican, hungry for power at all costs! Does she still plan to run negative ads against Barack after June 03 and push the Florida and Michigan issue again? If she does so then Democrats will not win in November and she'll have a chance to run in 2012; however, Hillary's chances to win in 2012 are none if she continues to act as a sore loser!

People who calls themselves Hillary supporters are not really Hillary supporters. They are GOP trolls trying stir up emotions with very few hardcore Clinton supporters who won't Obama because of his race.

Nice try trolls.

She is displaying an insane disregard for the rules of our party and to think she wants to be the leader of this country is ridiculous. She has tried to rewrite everything to her advantage and even when Obama conceded delegates that by no means did he have to in the spirit of Unity, she has her crazy Harold Ickes out reputing them. She is on an ego-trip the size that I have never seen before. It is going to take the majority of Super Delegates to STAND up and do what they are authorized to do in the best interest of the Party. She needs to be stopped NOW.

Not when there are CNN and the corporate media to enable her...

Quote: "... Clinton showed signs she plans to press on after Tuesday's contests..." Hillary must be imbibing too much whiskey from Canada [rather than Makers Mark from Kentucky]. She should run for Queen Hillary with a palace in Puerto Rico and a summer villa in Florida. Her daughter would become Princess. Of course, Bill would be Court Jester.

She will never listen until she's sent home in tears. What a power-ill she's caught! Go dems 08! Go Obama 08.

Can you imagine Anyone wanting to negotiate with this Woman if she became President !

Guys, nobody is listening– Hillary is not alone. Look at you–you don't understand that Obama can not win in November.

Last Honest Man June 2nd, 2008 11:28 am ET

OBAMISTS your 15 minutes are near…….don't blink

See you in December, "Honest"....

Does she not realinzed that she will be blamed if he looses and this will not help her in 2012 anyhow. At this point, she will be run oput of NY if she run for reelection anyhow.

She's divisive and she voted for the WAR! No way will I ever vote for her.

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!!! FOR HILLARY!!!

It's over for both Clinton and Obama long ago. There is no difference between former WH spokeman Scott McClelan and Liberal medias. After November CNN, MSNBC will cry foul like anothe hypocrite and greedy Scott.

Nothing has changed since the end of February.

Well if she wins SD, which is looking good for her, alot of people will give her a second look, plus she can pull off MT if all of Obama's guys stay home.....no one is rushing to endorse Obama, he needs an additional 20 or so to claim so there is a buffer zone to not upset the electorate...but so far, silence......

If you count Hillary's current delegates against Obama's delegates from 2 months ago, she has the delegate lead.

Go Hillary!

The fellowship

These primaries will go down in history as a fraud. But it probably will help to start a third party. Many commentators will see themselves in movies as manipulating the elections sort of like Catherine Harris of Florida. Obama's going to loose the presidency and we all hope he gets the message not to comeback in 4. Hillary or McCain

Meanwhile, the DNC is broke and can't even afford to have the convention as it stands now. They need 40 million in donations by 6/16. I have written them and told them that I won't give a dime until they put an end to this BS by sending out the supers.

Thank you Mr. Vilsack, for stating the obvious.

Obvious to everyone but Hillary and her gang of would-be thieves.

Bob S,

Fear is something that keeps people from attempting to reach goals. It is the difference between winning and not participating.

If you are scared stay home. If fear is your only motivation or excuse to not support a candidate, why waste your time following the political race.

You could better serve yourself by doing something safe, say like knitting socks, sweaters, or a scarf. But, don't try to sell that fear to others.

If you believe that the earth is flat, don't get on the ship.

Come Wednesday evening, Obama will have enough votes to clinch the nomination. Lets see what Clinton says when Obama reaches the "magic number" .

Even if everyone else realizes she needs to get out of this, I still think we're going to need a new priest and an old priest to make that happen.

Don't quit Hillary. Do what ever it takes to win the nomination!!!!

McCain Democrats to the rescue!!!

I am behind Hillary 100%!!

Hillary or McCain for President

I say we let Hillary run third party in the general - get some of these whack jobs out of the democratic party.

tis is truly a tragedy for the democrats

Earth to hillary.............. IT'S OVER..............................duh !

OMG....the only one not to see this is Hillary….because after all the "experience" she doesn't have….and all the "sniper fire" she had to endure (which never happened) – and all the switching of positions she did..(depending on which state she was in defined her position at that moment….NAFTA anyone?) – omg…wake up

Someone mentioned the past eight years being a disaster. Your right and wrong.............the past four years have been a disaster and look who controlled the Congress.......DEMOCRATS. If you want to bury the economy further and put this country's security at risk.................. by all means vote for a Democrat.

She is not a role model to girls. How would she keep fighting without noting she has lost. Isn't that called being 'dilusional'?

Clinton supporters didn't vote for a quitter. We voted for the most qualified candidate.

Any "Democrats" who vote for McCain in November should Obama be the nominee, will then fully have the blood of 4000+ US soldiers, and 600000+ civilian Iraqis on their hands as much as any full-fledged Bush supporter.

Let's not forget what's important, people. Troops home NOW!

It has been over for 3months. No news here!

I meant her supporters at the DNC never would have had that argument at the DNC if she were ahead.

I apologize...strategy.... -laughs-

I certainly hope she listens.

not so fast my friend. the delegates decide at the convention. that is how it works. delegates decide you don't. Not even the delegates that are selected now are bound to vote for one candidate or another.
The superdelegates are definitely free to vote for whomever they want.
If is based based on electability they will choose HIllary.

The only reason Obama might not win in Nov is not because he's "unelectable," it'll be because bitter Hillary supporters will cast their vote for Bush, oh wait, I mean McCain.

According to the math it's been over since Iowa but now the superdelegates need to end this Democratics mess on Wednesday.

Dear Obama supporters
In 1960 I was enthralled by the inexperienced junior senator from MA. Think Viet Nam.
In 1976 I was a foot soldier in the army of a southern governor who was going to fix everything that was wrong with Washington.
That gives me two strikes. I won't make strike three in 2008.

Hillary is still in her dreams. Someone please pour a bucket of cold water on her face.

obama will lose to mccain so bad it will make his head spin
hillary or bust!
nobama!

It's time for the super-delegates to make a stand and declare Obama the winner.

Hillary Clinton has become the most divisive person in recent American politics, right behind Dubbya. Nice, Hillary. Thanks a lot.

I just do not understand the American people. There is no way
I would ever vote for Obama. I do not trust him at all. I believe he
has alot hidden in the closet that will come out once he is the nominee and then it will be too late for the Democratic Party.
I will be voting for McCain if he gets the nomination and so will
all of the other Hillary supporters that I know. We do not trust him at all.

As Mr. Ickey stated on the Tim Russert Show: Delegates determine the nominee. So forget the popular vote, the will of the people; if you want to change the rules; then do it for 2012 not in the middle of the game.

What popular votes have been counted?
What percentage of the popular vote is Republicans voting for Mrs. Clinton?

Typical turn of events. Just more out in the open these days.

Superdelegates. Please lets move on and VOTE TODAY!!!!!The HRC supporters are really Republicans and want Mc Cain to win.

When will she quit already? It's not enough that she's delusional and bad at math, but now she wants to continue despite no chance of winning. Why tear the Party apart for selfish reasons?

McCain is confused, the man need to enjoy the rest of his life relaxing. He'S old and doesn't really care about people. I quess he figures he doesn't have much time left here on earth so why not take other's out with him. GO HOME MCCAIN!

The lady in the pantsuit is warming up and the fat lady is singing. Hopefully this mess will be over on Tuesday and HRC will have no choice but to accept that it is OVER!!!!

Run as a independent or support McCain.. i see this as the only options left for her.

For those loser billary supporters who still insist that they will vote McBush or write Billary in NOvember. Poor you! continue to cry. Were you a real Democrat? Since it seems you make it personal for Billary and not the sake of the unity of the country!

What did Obama do to you or Billary?

I am just disgusted with fellow democrats slamming one of their own in the most vile ways. This has disgusted me throughout this whole campaign. This is one democrat since 1974 who is voting for McCain in November.

The only people that think it is not over are people that:

1. Can't count
2. Have abused drugs
3. Are incapable of any type of logical thought.
4. think rules can and should be be changed 3 or 4 times during a contest, by the losing candidate.
5. think Hillary is entitled to the nomination because her last name is Clinton.

Hillary, Go INDEPENDANT!! You will win.

I think the Democratic Party has done ENOUGH of turning their cheeks and kit gloving the Clintons. NO MORE MR NICE GUYS ...she will take advantage of everyone as long as we let her. THE TIME HAS COME>>>SEVER THE CANDIDATE CORD>>> let her get on with her business and let the rest us avoid becoming masichosist. The quest is over for Senator Clinton and husband. The world has changed and they will have to live with it.

it has been over, she is not statesman like , but that seldom applies to today's policticans

i'm out of hillary camp now , she is nuts, as i finally realise this is not about the party it was all about her, I see it now,you get my vote mr Obama

HILLARY GO INDEPENDENT! !!!!!!!!!!

You dont need the Dem PArty to WIN! Split the vote 3 ways you can do it! You have shown you can win, now do it as a 3rd party candidate. They are trying to steal your earned nomination.

INDEPENDENT CANIDATE HILLARY 08!

Thats whats wrong with american now silly people loyal to a party instead of people!. I wont vote for Obama just because he is a democrate I will vote for who I think can run the oval office, I dont care what party they belong to.

GO AWAY, HILLARY!!!!!

The Superdelegates will do the right thing and follow PLEDGED delegates. It's not about any other metric.

Back in January, when she was winning, Hillary and her supporters said it was about pledged delegates. Guess what, it's STILL about pledged delegates. Take your votes and vote against your interests if you will.

Superdelegates will not allow Hillary to Hi-Jack the Democratic party. She FAILED to secure a nomination where she had every advantage initially. HILLARY IS A LOSER.

It's been over for a long time. Senator Clinton just didn't want to face reality.

Hillary's determination to press on regardless resemble Bush's determination to declare war on Iraq.

Hillary be an adult and shut the heck up.

You are NOT entitiled

Question: What is the difference between GW holding on to a failed policy and Hillary holding on to a failed nomination? Answer: Nothing.

Yes, it really is that simple isn't it?

To GO HILL, you are as delusional as Hillary and Ickes. To Deb of RI, Hillary DID LOSE THE NOMINATION, go right ahead and vote from McCain. Just don't complain when our country remains status quo or worse and women's reproductive rights are taken away. To Ex-Dem in Iowa, Hillary is not entitled to either the Dem Nomination or the Presidency, Sen. Obama won this fair and square. Get off your high horse !

Gov. Tom Vilsack: Another name added to the lengthy Clinton Enemies List.

Clinton will do anything, including ruining Obama, the democratic party, the election, and the country, just so she can run for president in 4 years instead of 8. Give it up, old hag! This has become quite pathetic. Hillary makes us professional woman with ambitions look horrible.

How she has lost? She is ahead in popular vote and will beat McCain confidently while Obama will derail the Democrat machine if nominated. All voting actually happens at the convention so let's see who will carry more votes!

I am a middle aged white woman and Hillary does not represent me. I don't agree with the way she has conducted herself in this process. A year ago I did support her but she has lost my respect and Bill has too. She does not seem to care at all about our party. The women crying over the news about FL. and MI. I am from Iowa and the rules are the rules. As far as the popular vote let's get real, Hil. Our cacuses did not count individual votes. My precinct selected Obama 3 to 1. If Clinton really wants to count the popular vote we need to go back to all the cacuses and count them, also.

Look wait till all of the states have voted. Give those people a chance. She might win all three states for we know.

Be careful what you ask for Mr. Vilsack. Without Hillary to stab in the back, you might have to go back to your day job.

To: Gabe in TX

You are obviously one of the ignorant un-educated Americans that voted for Hillary.

You probably voted for Bush too.

Nice win for Hillary in a "state" that doesn't count in general election. Here's the breakdown for states with +60% wins

Obama: 21
Clinton: 3

She knows this is over; her goal, now, is to try to sabotage his chances of winning full Dem support out of spite because she feels he took what she was entitled to have.

IT'S A DONE DEAL!!

Time for the REAL DEMOCRATS to step up to the plate. All you McCain turncoats, step aside and let the real patriots decide the fate of this great country – God bless America!!!!!!!

It's over when one gets the needed delegate total. Obama just isn't there yet either.

Simple reality is Hillary and her supporters have lost this race. If some of her supporters (and it seems like Hillary has too) want to support McCain then I guess they will be two time losers. Anyone who thinks McCain will win in November must have their eyes and ears shut because they cannot see or hear what has been happening in the USA. At minimum Barrack will restore respect back for the USA to the rest of the world. And trust me they have very little at the moment.

How can you put your faith in someone who has shown so little integrity as Hillary? Continually changing the game, moving the goal posts and re-spinning the spin - is that the President that this country deserves?

Do the right thing for the United States, Hillary. Hold a press conference tomorrow morning and step down.

It's not too late to do the right thing.

Tanya of Chicago you say just wait. People don't have to wait.

If you look at how they are conducting themselves right now multiply their faults by ten and you have it.

I would rather have some one attending a "marginal" church (look at the unfortunate Catholic churchs' situation) than to have the constant divisiveness and lieing that goes with Hillary.

IT"S NOT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT"S OVER times ten

Guys this popular vote is her last result, she has brought race,

gender, she had lied, fabricate, cried, monks and she has tried to

cheat by telly S.C that she will take Obama has her VP when she was

not even close to winning the nominee.

HILLARY WILL WHINE UNTIL THE END TO MAKE HERSLEF FOOLISH AND DUM.

Hey by tomorrow she may contest for president as an independence.

At least Senator Obama is honest about his words, as well as consistency in every ways and means. Now, for HRC, I do not know but to me, she's too much.. How can someone trust somebody when we actually look in the eye that their words are untrue? And for McCain, people need to see and realized the fact that where we are now. Economy, 2 wars, and so on with no solution. Please people think straight and look at the fact we are in today.

I hope she listens. After the decision on Saturday concerning Florida and Michigan, all of the Democrats were calling for party unity....except the Clintons.

It's been over for Hillary for several months. She's just too out of touch to realize it. Definitely NOT the type of person I would want to lead this country.

She has Vilsack on her campaign he said some pretty bad things before. No wonder he is in her campaign. All these crazy politicans are part of her campaign.

And I just want to thank Hillary for trying to ruin Obama's reputation and his supporters reputation and dividing the democratic party. Good job! You have added this to your list of successes.

Please post this
thanks

She really wants more deaths in Iraq, unaffordable health care, increasing poverty and deteriorating schools, doesn't she? Because this is what we're getting if she tears down the Democrats' chances to win in November. And all just for that creepy ego trip of hers.

I THINK HUSSEIN OBAMA NEED TO GO BACK TO HIS PASTOR WRIGHT.

VOTE HILLARY OR MCCAIN ONLY FOLK! NO OBAMA PERIOD.

Hilary supporters,

Rules are rules, hipe you abide to rules. Teach your kids the right thing to do, even if you don't agree. Good Luck to those of you that will vote for MCBUSH. You are nbot punishing OBAMA, you are obviously not thinking of your future and those of your own kids.

You watch Hilary and Bill endorse Obama, they are politicians and they are not stupid.

"He endorsed Clinton shortly after and played a key role in the New York senator's unsuccessful Iowa campaign effort."

Very funny. Id he played a such key role in the iowa fail, then maybe he was already supporting obama at this time

CNN you must fix the score card. Delegates count for Obama is 2074.
Up date please. Thank you

The question is who we are going to be for 4 next years: “Folks” or “My friends” – in both cases are codenames for “Idiots”

Personally I love her determation. I want a president who will work, and who doesn't give up. Why would anyone want to elect an individual who simply gives up at the first hardship. Her determination is a plus in my book. Give up the emotional name calling and look at the situation in a reasonable manner.

I am McCain supporter and I am so happy that Hillary is working for us... Keep going, hon! We love you! We will help you in 2012 if you eliminate BO now.. Thanks..

Thanks, Vilsack, for speaking up the truth.

I second your motion about every Obama supporter having the right to be first on the blog.

Some people's Internet connections are faster so that puts others at a disadvantage. I propose that people with fast connections should only refresh their page once every hour to give other deserving supporters a chance, too!

If this motion doesn't carry, all Obama supporters with slow Internet connections should hack into the system in order to jump ahead of everyone else and be first. If the Obama Website Rules and Bylaws Committee rules to remove the hackers' accounts, they should later reinstate those accounts with limited privileges like being able to view the community blogs but not able to write a comment on any blog.

HRC has the only real chance for the Dems...if not for the media, Obama hussein would never have gotten this far

If she is the stronger candidate how come she didn't win the pledge delegate contest or the most states or the real popular vote???

It is very sad that the party is so divided, you would think that a candidate who cares about this country would have the honor to take the high road........but that is not the clintons

her supporters are so full of hate and they rather elect mcbush and or a liar, and keep saying "wait for october surprises,blah b lah)

while i get it that they are angry, and all, even angry people can think of their children future, it seems that she has fueled this beyond anger, with race, age, sexism, etc.. very sad to say the least...

How in the world were Michigan & Florida even allowed to "break the rules" of the Primary season? How does this happen?
How are we, as a Democratic country not out-raged that votes are not being counted and entire states being cast-aside! This 'agreement' – good or bad is a travesty of what our country was built on. It is a enormous case of a few bad apples (those in charge in MI & FL) spoiling democracy for the rest of us. The Democratic Party handled this in the worst possible way. Whether like her or not HRC has a legitimate beef with the process. It's not complete.

Now that I know McCain will annoy you liberal idiots

MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN MCCAIN

Because the left wing doesn't deserve a country if they can't even remember how to vote correctly.

HILLARY ALL THE WAY TO CONVENTION!

VOTE HILLARY OR MCCAIN ONLY FOLK! NO OBAMA PERIOD!

The only chance the Democrats have to win the Election in November is for Obama to lead the charge. She will tear, if not already has, torn the party apart. I was never a Hillary supporter and now will never be one. She has even turned my wife against her. Sit down before it's to late Hillary. I pray it's not to late.

If Hillary Clinton is so well-liked in Puerto Rico, I suggest she move there, help PR gain its independence from the US, and then establish herself as their queen.

I believe that'll make everyone happy. That is, at least, for the first 24 hours. After that, Puerto Ricans will discover they got the bad end of the deal.

win in November!!

We all knew this two months ago. Concluded it after North Carolina and Indiana. Yet some people are now figuring it out for the first time while others haven't quit figure it out yet. Thanks to all who have and please say a prayer to those who haven't yet figured it out.

THIS IS UNBELEIVABLE.... SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN TO "HOLD'EM" AND WHEN TO "FOLD'EM" MRS. CLINTON HAS LOST THIS RACE ON HER OWN FLAWS IN HER STRATEGY. NOW SHE WANTS TO CHEAT.... GUESS SHE IS TAKING A PAGE FROM THE PARTY SHE WAS RAISED IN.... REPUBLICAN

OBAMA 08.....

Go Hillary....all the way to Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will NEVER

Smart Man

I am from the same hometown as the Vilsack family and they are family friends

I am glad to see one clinton supporter smart enough to finally see that the party needs to get behind one nominee and come together to beat the republican nominee in the fall. for all you supporters who believe voting for mccain will "make" you feel better. you should be ashamed of calling yourself a democrat because you should be voting to end a horrible 8 years government that we all have been complaining about

we should all get behind the nominee that has the most

pledged delegates
superdelegates
and popular vote (including ever state with primaries and caucuses)

which is obama

(facts don't lie, people do)

thank you vilsack for your knowledge and right move

Stay in there Hillary no matter what happens!!!!! You deserve it...you've earned it and you're the "First Black President's" wife.......Obama would not be the first black president as we remember where blacks and especially Al Sharpton said Bill Clinton is the "First Black President". And does anyone not remember that he has an office in Harlem!???? Bill Clinton could do no wrong because "he understood our pain". Black people ate it up and we will not forget !!!

And Operation Chaos continues!!

well it is sad for her ,and the truth is that it is so over and she need to accept it.

pls cnn post my comment for once for over 2 yrs now.

I agree. He is leading in what matters – the delegates. He understood how the game was played and won it fairly. It is now time for Hillary to step aside and help unify the party around Obama so we can win in November. Enough with all the "I am the stronger candidate" talk!

If hillary's supporters vote for McCain her career is over. They will make the country so angry that she will never win another race,

The democratic primary is over.
Obama won.
Quit whining about Clinton; I'm not listening.

THANK YOU..... NOW ITS TIME FOR ALL THE HC SUPPORTS TO HER SEE THE LIGHT................... COME INTO THE LIGHT........

Obama and the Obama Democrats are not understanding the electoral map. His greatest percentage of support didn't come from Illinois, it came from Idaho. Idaho will not vote for a Democrat in November. For those who seem to be just waking up to the reality that our party is going to nominate someone who can't win, now, you understand what is meant when it is said that Democrats are the party that can wrestle defeat from the jaws of victory. To the Hillary Democrats: Voting for McCain would be plain stupid... remember, that isn't your only choice.

If you or some one you know have not suffered enough under Bush....Then by all means support McCain.

Obama 08

This idea about dirt on Obama that the republicans are saving for October as an argument for why Clinton is stronger against McCain is just plain bogus. The converse of that position is that Clinton doesn't have any dirt or does not have as much dirt as Obama. Ha! Ha! Ha!. I would not even recommend Obama putting Clinton on his ticket. Clinton would do more harm to the ticket than good because of the bargage the Clintons have.

Why did Obama, Edwards Biden and Richardson voluntarily take their names off the ballot? Why did Obama, Edwards and Richardson jointly encourage their supporters to vote uncommitted? WHY?

She doesn't get it....... It's not about her ....It's about the country !!
Obama is the calm voice of reason amidst all this chaos caused by the Clintons' narcissism

Why has no one pointed out the absurdity of her popular vote argument. Let's review step by step:

1. Democratic party penalizes FL & MI and both candidates agree to it.
2. Hillary is surprised to find that she isn't handed the nomination on a silver platter.
3. She cries foul over the disenfranchisement of democratic voters in MI & FL claiming that not counting their violates the very fundamentals of a democracy.
4. Claims popular vote lead by excluding the votes of several caucus states
5. Further supports her claim by including a state (MI) in which she was the only one on the ballot–zimbabwe style.

How can she use the one person one vote argument in one instance and then exclude the votes of 250K MI voters who voted for "uncommitted" plus those of several caucus states. People actually showed up to vote against her in MI.

Which one is worse? I am scared to death!

This race would be over if the Supers had decided long ago that it should be over. Then she wouldn't be able to continue spouting such revenge for her opponent. This scorched earth campaign she has led, has damaged the party to the point that her supporters will not support the democratic front runner. That is saaaddd!

I'll be honest I don't usually vote Republican but, this time around I reservse the right to do just that. The Democractic party has completely turned my off. The fact that they can't decide on a nominee makes me think that they could not come to a consesus about lissue that affect me, the economy for the most part. I think that the longer this goes on the more independants are going to vote with McCain even though the may not want to.

A man would never stop. Why should she?
Also, barack is hopeless anyway so it's not like she's raining on anyone's parade.

I still don't understand Clinton supporters and their support of McCain over Obama. That makes zero sense and is very dangerous for our country and children. Ruining the country b/c your candidate didn't win is ridiculous.

I very sorry to advise Hillary that she has lost the Bid for nomination to OBAMA. She should accept the defeat instead of trying to brag , Obama has already acknowledge you efforts, why not accept his?? . You lost , believe it Hillary!!!!
Go Home and talk chelsea to give you a grandkid, you will be happy for the rest of you life. She might be the next president , and please dont exhaust the beautiful girl early enough, if you expect her to run for office some time , even though you are trying to give her some experience. Let her learn from Obama.

I can only hope she will remain in the contest. The Democrats are faced with a difficult situation. If Obama gets the nomination, they are stuck with what I feel is an unelectable candidate. He could not carry the all important swing states of Ohio, KY, PA, or IN. Had MI's votes counted in full, I think he would have also lost there and in FL as well. If a candidate can't carry those states the candidate can't win. A deal will have to be made at the convention that sees her emerge as the candidate. Otherwise, the Republican machine will school Obama on what a real campaign is all about and it will not be pretty.

There is the theatre and there is reality ...

The reality is that Senator Obama has wone the Democratic Presidential primary.

Congratulations to Mrs. Clinton for a hard fought contest and all that she accomplished.

Given such a bruising fight, her duty now is to make her and Bill available, at Mr. Obama's disposal, to stump for him ... as he and his team deem approporiate ... to repair the clear rift in the Democratic body politic that has resulted from all the theatre.

Character is shown not by how you win but how you lose ...

I hope she will listen. If she doesn't and continues on to the convention and with this silly lawsuite, she will cause major damage to the democratic party. We are now in the Red Zone and many people realize it. I commend Mrs. Clinton for 'fighting' but it's time. It's time to mend the party and move focus to battling McCain and not tearing the winner down.

Gov. Vilsack, it is time for you to endorse John McCain. I am a HIllary supporter and I will vote for John McCain. Barack has no credentials to be our president. He has no substance, he has no achievements whatsoever for American people. He is fake and americna people should know more about his past in Chicago, his support to liberals with his liberal policy. Barack, just go away my friend.

A GOOD SIGN WHERE THE SUPER DELEGATE ARE LEANING TO OBAMA.

This thing has been over for a while! I hate to say it but if Barack was behind like she is they would have made him stop about 1 month ago.
We all know why she stuck it out......but now she needs to do the right thing.

Imagine this. The Celtics and Lakers are set to start game 1 later this week at let's say 8:30. This is the understood time that the game will start and both teams agree to that. Well, let's say the Celtics decide they are going to start playing at 7:30. Now even though the Celtics started the game, but the Lakers are following the rules, the Lakers are supposed to be penalized?????????????? Are the Celtics supposed to be able to count all the points they have accumulated even though the Lakers were not even on the court???????? Obama was NOT on the court!!!!!! The agreement that FL and MI WOULD NOT count!!!!!!!! Common sense should prevail here. You so called "Dems" are silly. Also, speaking as an Independent, if you are going to vote for McCain and become an Independent because HRC has fairly lost the election; DON'T!!!!!!!! We Independents DO NOT want you sullying our movement. Do not dirty the Independent movement. Stay right where you are!!!!!!!

Bob S....I love the Clintons ...always have. But there's some pretty bad news about "bubba" in Vanity Fair. Is this the type of information you're expecting for Barack?

Why should Hillary stop? There is too much at stake. Specifically my future. Obama will lose to McCain. I can not afford four more years of Bush's failed policies! Hillary is the electable Democrat. Super-delegates please do your job and ensure that Hillary is the nominee.

Cnn, Fox both suck. personally, I like Keith Oberman.

I think this man is correct. She has done enough damage to the party. After the 3rd, she should be graceful and help united the party.

SHE WILL NOT GIVE UP, SHE IS TEARING THE PARTY APART SHE WANTS TO WIN AT ANY COST , THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOMEBODY OUT THERE WHO CAN STOP HER?????

She can't win, that's the fact, Primary and the General election. She only can win by her arguement, not by the will of the American People.

Hillary has shown great leadership and loyalty to her party, the Republican Party. She is doing EVERYTHING SHE CAN to put her fellow Republican John McCain in power, even if it means a kamikaze end to her own career.

She doesn't mind destroying herself as long as she can bring the Democratic nomine Obama down with her and clear the road for fellow Republican John McCain.

The only people that think McAncient can win the Presidency are Hillary supporters!

Hillary's arguments belies belief! The Clintons have shown that they will never accept responsibility for their actions, even when overwhelming evidence is right in front of them. From the impeachment days, it has always been "them" against us! They are willing to destroy anyone and anything in their bid for power, and it has always been about them. So what do they care that they are destroying everything in their wake? Open you eyes and use your brains, all you blind followers, before it is too late.

It is over but will Hillary and her supporters listen? Even if Michigan went the way they wanted, would not be fair, she will still be behind. Obama has won more delegates to date and the superdelegates will follow suit. Her supporters are devisive and she is the reason. She and Bill have used thier own math and strung people along with thier lies and pandering.

June 2nd, 2008 11:06 am ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
It amazes me that Hillary is being accused of dividing the party. Typical comment from an Obamabot.

Here's the real deal: Hillary was a shoo-in for the presidency. It's the Obamabots that abandoned her and divided the party. Half of the democratic base has been with her the entire time.

Again I ask, who's divided the party? You people are a real piece of work.

Go team.

OBAMISTS your 15 minutes are near.......don't blink

I have a feeling we will start to see more and more prominant Hillary supporters encouraging her to end her 2008 presidential bid and support Obama. Now that the Rules and Bylaws Committee has ruled on Michigan and Florida, and the delegations from both those states have unanimously supported the ruling, Hillary's last hope of securing the nomination has evaporated. It's time for all Democrats to come together and support our presumptive nominee against McCain and his pro-Bush policies.

So right LINDA NAVARE.

She didn't "lose" the nomination, it is being stolen by Superdelegates (especially creeps like Bill Richardson) pressured to endorse Obama by the DNC. The people WILL have the final say in November.

McCain 08'

At least her supporters are acknowledging the facts. Someone tell Hillary that will ya? GET OUT! IT"S OVER... get over your ego and realize the Clinton dynasty is almost over!!!!! Time to let someone else run things for a change.

Do we really want someone who can't run their campaig or it's finances, acts like a spoiled brat when they don't get their way and could care less about the country as our president? I don't think so.

Let us wait and see until when she will be able to acknowledge that she will not get the nomination. But, anything can happen during the process, you never know.

Hillary plans was to stack the popular in areas that Obama could not
win because of the racial tension geographic areas such as
west virginia,kentucky and puerto rico. Latino men's do not really care
about a black at all,so they convince there voter to vote who they want to. Hillary is trying overturn superdelegate by stacking popular voter.
This a plans of her and Bill.

This is the true clinton in action!She has clearly lost,but she wouldn't give in to unite the party,which is really sad.She is clearly all about her self,not about the American people,or the democratic party,she feels it's all about her.It's time for her supporters to start uniting around Obama,and let her whin and cry!

Thank you, I am so sick of Hillary. I wish she will go away. If she cares about the democratic party, she will step aside. Does she think that if she steals the nomination by claiming that she won the popular vote, that people will vote for her. Dream on. Get a reality check and let's band together to defeat the Republicans in November.

She won't listen to him, of all people – the former Gov. of Iowa because, according to her math, that state (and several others) did not "vote" .

She only wants the machine or paper votes to count, not the people in the caucus states who voted with their bodies by showing up at caucus.

Furthermore, she wanted Obama to have zero delegates from Michigan. Now who, in control of all their mental faculties, believes absolutely no one in Detroit, Michigan voted for Obama?

Enough is Enough!

To Support MCCAIN:

You want some Republican spin? GO OVER TO FOX!!

Hey Support MMCCAIN, go to fox news for your fill of conservative slop.

Clinton wants something. She's still in it for some plum post. It's a ruthlessly smart move – one a true pol would make.

Well, If you count Pledged Delegates only, and remove Edwards delegates (which I'm sorry, BO doesn't deserve, Edwards voters went to Hillary), and give Hillary the delegates SHE EARNED in MI and FL, the amount separating them is 74. Out of over 3300 delegates, they are separated by 74. If the media and DNC had done their jobs and vetted BO early on, if the media and DNC hadn't been in the tank for him since LAST YEAR, Hillary Clinton would be the Dems nominee by a wide margin. Instead, the media and the dems chose to treat Hillary like you know what, demean her, call her and Bill racists, belittle the experience she has and the work she has done, allowed BO to basically COPY her policies and ideas, and in doing so, the dems will lose in November. Plus, more actual PEOPLE voted for her in this election, even with all the negative press and misogyny.

Democratic party in trouble
If they give the nomination to Obama with this current condition he will lose in November
If they give the nomination to Hillary with this current condition She will lose in November
The time for party leaders to create a good atmosphere
I request President Bill Clinton to take big step to create good environment in the party Sir I know it is hard for you but you can

I am totally mad at MSNBC

Hillary 08/Mc Cain 08 ( This my current Position)

Here is undisputed proof that she will not do everything she promises and that most of what she says is pandering. She and McCain floated this idea of a gas tax holiday for us for the summer. Now if that was such a great idea as she suggested, shouldnt she and McCain be in Washinton implementing it. Its already a week past Memorial day but they only talk about it on the campaign. This has to be done. Since they arent doing it then it has to be a issue thats pandering to the economically down trodden.

I would encourage Hillary fans to discuss and argue this point. But pls supporters of all 3 candidates, lets do this in a professional civilized manner.

Dont you have to laugh at *Clean Sweep* in PR
everyone knows PR does not even have the right to vote in the general
Thank God this is over Tuesday
I cant bear to listen to the rhetoric every time she wins and the CNN
hype!! It means nothing....period!!
Senator Obama is ahead in delegates and if anyone thinks PR should count in the popular vote when they dont really matter in the general, is deluding themselves, and then to omit the caucas states in that count is just plain *Theft*
and *disregard* for the Americans who voted in those caucases!!!

Mrs. Clinton's behavior is pathetic. I used to love and respect Hillary and Bill Clinton. I had no idea she was such a spoiled brat and a sore loser. And some of her supporters are pathetic as well. The ones who whine that they will vote for John McCain if Hillary doesn't win the nominee. Third grade mentality! It really is sad. Also, it's time for Hillary to come out of shock that she has lost to a new-comer to Washington.

Go Hillary!! Let's derail Obama.... Clinton Democrats for McCain!

Even if Obama becomes the Dem Nominee it's not going to stop me and millions of others from writing in Clinton's name in November whether she's his running mate or not. I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I've always voted for the person I thought was best regardless of their party. I for one have no problem seeing the Democratic Party fall apart. We're voting for Clinton regardless.

She destroyed Obama in Puerto Rico. She's winning in the popular vote (for those of you who don't agree, please note that FL and MI now count). Obama turns his back on Trinity Church. Is this what convinced Vilsack to make this suggestion? Hillary, stay in.

She will concede within 72 hours. She will still be an important member in the party and guess what....

We will finally be done with all this inter-party hating crap and get on to fixing the last 8 year disaster.

Superdelegates aside (because they can change their minds with any given poll or event before August), Obama cannot win the nomination. If Obama supporters think that the delegates will stick by their candidate through thick and thin, they're delusional – this is politics. So, no, it's not over and it won't be until August. What she should do is suspend and wait because the polls (or yet another psycho friend or two or another S.F. gaff) will show exactly what most of us already know – Obama will never be president. Now we just wait for the superdelegates to slowly come to their senses. Suspend and wait. We'd be happy to vote for her – if not it has to be McCain. Experience and practicality with centrist viewpoints will win the day ( and a huge amount of us centrist democrats) for McCain. That and the fact that obamakins just can't seem to help themselves in personally attacking anyone who opposes them, creating strong division and pushing more level headed individuals away. Have at it kids....................your sarcasm and divisiveness and put downs will only help McCain.

CNN sucks!! CNN is so bias against Republicans.

McCain 08'

How many times is CNN going to report the same news – how many times are we going to hear its ovef for HRC – Roland Martin and Jack Cafferty are eating it up. There was never a fair chance for Hillary.

Well, Gov. Vilsack, since you are an ardent supporter of HRC, please tell her to acknowledge the nominee. This continued ranting by the surrogates of HRC will do more harm than good.

this woman is exhausting,i just can't support her anymore,today i am switching to obama before i go nuts.

Common keep beating, there may be still some life left in her.

Democrats favoring Obama is the biggest mistake since Bush's re-election and IRAQ war. Dont believe me? Wait and watch....

It's already been a long gone for Hillary to step out of the race, mathematically. It is cleared that she only trying to create conflicts within the Democratic party. She ingnored the facts that can't win. Now, again it's time for her to step out without regards before it's too late. The sooner the better.

Yes!

Thank you Vilsack. Now we need to concentrate on something that is more important than Hillary and that's regaining the White House in November. Because after all this is about more than Hillary and Obama, it's about the American people. And if Hillary really cares about the American people she should not damage the Democrats chance at regaining the White House for personal ambitions.

For crying out loud ! will the SuperDelegates just come out and end this already !! geez !! She's not even funny anymore, I think she has a screw loose or something.
Obama is the nominee, so just accept it !!

She in denial

Well every one understands it except this thing known as Clinton. Dont waste your breath over her coz she is not understanding any thing.

You need to tell her, because she seems to be the only person who deosn't know this!

MCCAIN 08'

He's right

its been a tought fight

He's correct ... but she won't listen.

Will she listen to him? Nope. Because she's NOT LISTENING to what others are saying. She's not looking at the big picture. She's only doing what SHE wants to do because this race is still a me-me-me race, not something involving involving the Democratic Party or even our country...regardless of what she says.

The Party and the public really need to look at how this woman is acting. Many of us saw it clearly in the beginning. Is she in touch with the American public or just her backers? She has lied and mis-spoke continually during this campaign–do we want a President who can't say what she means? She has always been the one leading the negativity. She continues to do so leading the brigade against the Party now. What a nice example and what a responsible and representative leader! GAG!

GAG THE HAG! Get her out of there. Vilsack, now that YOU say it's over, it's time to pull your superdelegate vote (if you have one) to the Obama side and set an example for the rest of the ones in her camp. Walk the walk; don't simply just talk about it.

"There's plenty a slip between the cup and the lip," as they say, and it's still a long time between now and August. Obama and/or his Bitter Half could say anything, anything could come out about them (although the republicans will try to conceal any dirt they have for a "October surprise"), or the superdelegates could use their heads and decide to support the stronger potential candidate if they really want to win in the fall.

CNN is terrible and unfair!! This is the first time I opened your site due to give my comments on CNN! You guys are pretty bias against Republicans!! Just like other T,V, stations in America!! Be fair!! Obama and Clinton won't take any places for changing anything. Has Obama changed anything in his state or Clinton did something different? They are exactly in the same policy and identical so why they fight? They are both a big pride and Democrats themselves have NO UNITY.
ONLY SPIRIT OF CONTENTIONS! Therefore Democrat party is no right to rule this country. They choice is so evil!! No principle or No moral standard!! They just want to steal our money we work hard and sweat to make and then they want to give them to the people who are lazy and depending on food stamps. No way!! Work hard and make own money! That's how people make your dream come true.
Don't be depending on our money to live!! That's so wrong!!
America is just going wrong direction and scary!!
God Bless America! Punish CNN!!

MCCAIN 08'

Now that you've said that, kindly switch your endorsement to Sen. Barack Obama. Thank you very much Mr. Vilsack.

Clinton doesn't want to count ALL of the votes, just the ones that help HER!

Clinton is not respecting party rules. According to party rules, delegates count not the popular votes. yes for next election, if party makes the rule to count popular vote and eliminates caucuses, that would be ok but this time the race is over. the party rules dont change to suit to particular candidate. yes its over .

Come on people. It's time to pull together. Let's put on our big boy and big girl pants!

Looks like Hillary's prediction that many superdelegates may change their support may come true after all.

Clinton / Lewinsky '16

A winner NEVER quits!!!!

Personally, I would like to see Sen Clinton take her fight all the way to the convention. Within the past month or so, we have watch Obama and his supporters slip up (and they are not evern in the heat of the battle). His mis-speaking about his relative freeing the jews, the Catholic priest speaking at Obama's former church insulting Sen Clinton, and his "I don't need to be in Puerto Rico" attitude, I have it sown up (his blatant arrogance) all these episodes and a few more to come are going to cost the Democrats the White House. She should stay in to ensure that there is a democratic candidate to defeat Sen McCain.

Good old fashioned Common Sense. Where is it in Hillary's campaign. I want to see how much her campaign is in debt after Tuesday's votes.

Since HRC said individuals such as I cannot to be found in WV or for that matter KY also, I need to ask her supporters one question – How or why is she the "stronger" candidate? Do any of you look at polling data that is given on a daily basis? A CNN report about three days ago now show Obama leading her among dems in PA and OH. He defeats McCain by as large if not larger % than Hillary. Would she like to allow those states to revote where she now doesn't have all this suupport? It would probably skew her mathematical formula she now uses to lead the popular vote. Obama is beginning to lead her across the board. Vilsack is the first of many that will help end this after Tuesday. I predict at least 70% of the superdelegates will come Obama's way. Now if any of you political idiots want to vote for another Bush term then let the ramifications of those four years will be on your heads and not those of us who will vote for Obama.

I think she needs to stop. If her way of showing us that she deserves to be president is to whine and cry when things don't go her way,how is she going to be able to get anything done if this is how she responds to situations. We don't need a crybaby in the white house. We need somebody that will lead and be willing to learn and listen to the people. Not pout and cry when somebody won't do what she wants them to do.

NEWSFLASH: It's been over for weeks. Probably around the time that she lost 12 straight Primaries.

Wow! When will she get it? It's all over Hilly & Billy. Now lets see if you can help unite the party and put country first.

June 2, 2008 – 8 supers endorsed Obama this morning – ... but it is not a news for you, CNN. You keep supporting the liar and the loser in this contest – HRC, the new citizen of PR from yestarday.

We finally have words of wisdom from someone in the Clinton campaign. HillBill should take them to heart if they want to ever restore some of their very diminished power in the Democrat Party. But then some people never learn. If that is the case, then the sooner the Clintons retire to Antarctica, the better.

I hope that Hillary will not push the fact that she either does not know the
the rules of the Game, or she refuses to understand that this is not about
the popular vote. She is determined however she has no respect for rules, and this is not what anyone needs for a leader.

Your own people can see the light, Clinton.

Give it up, you lost. You are now officially a loser.

No one is just GIVEN a seat in the oval office, it must be earned, and you failed to earn it, Queen Clinton.

Even with Republicans coming out to Limbaugh-vote for you.
Even with your First Lady legacy.

… against a rookie Senator.

You lost in every metric that matters.

… and now? Now, America sees all the more glaringly your integrity faults… and once you're out of the nomination race and the courts can once again prosecute you… we'll see it even further.

Hillary Clinton, the Yoko Ono of the Democratic Party…

white folks please...

your parents and granparents mistreated an entire race of people and now – you are trying to prevent a black man from becoming president.

is it in your DNA to be so decietful.... Hillary thought this thing was going to be giving to her – she ran a tierrible campagin and misjudged the power of Obama.

white people are not the only ones who can show leadership.

"Hillary" vice president isnt that bad. LOL

Thank god that the even Hillary reconizes that the super delagates have the last word. They can clearly see who is winning and after Tuesday I think we will see a flood of super delagates support Obama. I look forward to what kind of make believe story the Clintons will come up with. I'm really enjoying all this action.

To all the Clinton supporters who will vote for war hungry McCain and possibly make him win, that is just great, lol. I hope you're ready and willing to donate your daughters and sons to the draft that McCain will eventually figure out so that he can support wars with every nation that disagrees with him. Now wouldn't that be something !!

Finally someone living in the real world.

Why do people keep on claiming that the race is over and decided *before* all votes have been tallied? People asking for HRC to drop out are being thoughtless and disrespectful of voters, telling them their votes are meaningless.

Wise man...
She lost because of a single vote authorizing Iraq war...
That will be the same reason McSame will loose in November in addition to his lack of economic understanding and no plan

Yet another Hill supporter who's written an obit. It's over.

To help the party in the fall Hillary she should give up her bid.

So when some one is running in a marathon and the leader is about an inch ahead, the runner up should just get off the track.

If anyone is calling for Hillary to quit now, your either sexist, racist, or both. If Hillary was to drop out before the end of this race, there would be even more devision in the Democrat party. When Hillary's supporters go independant or crossover in the general election, we can thank the Obama supporters that talk trash, and people like Vilsack for causing the division and having another republican president.

OMG, please, please, PLEASE let this be over soon... *crosses fingers* **praying** I so tired of hearing her talk.

Thanks governer. Clinton lost this campaign not because of female but just she is any other politician. I just don't see her appeal of Tax free summer bill is not running in the congress. just cheating peoples vote.

this actions of hilary needs to be taken seriously. she is ready to go out of her way to destroy Obama by any means.

reality is kicking in and she refuse to accept the fack once in a lifetime democracy has overcome elections corruption. too bad rheir media machines and rick friends cant buy the super delegates needed.

no way anyone including hillary can say "she cares deeply for this country". n0 she cares for herself. she is not the only qualified candidate to turn the country around.

so sorry

Anyone who think Clinton still have a chance have no brain. We all kow it politic, but it over. Now we can call her a disgrace candidate.

Ah, the man who failed miserably to help Senator Clinton win in the Iowa caucus now deems it necessary to give his unwanted two cents worth. A useless bit of advice that will not be heeded by the candidate who has won the most support of any Democratic nominee in the history of this country and who will carry on to Denver where she will win the support of the Super Delegates after the Republicans have a field day of a summer dismantling Senator Obama. But now CNN will be able to keep up its daily trashing of HRC, thanks Tom Vilsack - boy, you obviously know so much about campaigning in Presidential politics. When did you say your own campaign was over? Oh yeah, before it even started. I hope CNN gets as many close ups of Anderson Cooper's furrowed brow when Obama fails in Denver as you do his giddy giggle that's so heavily featured whenever Obama does win a state or when another pointless non-supporter like Vilsack feels the need to get some press time.

It's time to unify the party. I hope Hillary sees that and does the right thing to help bring the party together. I also hope her supporters do the right thing for this country and vote democrat.

The supers need to step up and throw Clinton out of this race before it splits this party beyond repair. Obviously Clinton cares only about herself. She lost the race a long time ago. Thankfully!

It's all been said ... over ... and over .... and over ... ya'll need a new process ... maybe like run the primarys until the field narrows to two ... then have two or three head on prime time debates followed by a nation wide internet primary vote ... game, set, match! No convention, no BS, just move on to The General Election. All the current stuff is just entertainment ... expensive and bad entertainment.

So why did we bother to vote this year, when the "almighty" SUPERDELEGATES are going to determine the nominee? Anyone really think the Democrats care about counting "every" vote? Perhaps only the superdelegate votes.....

Why in the world would she care if YET ANOTHER person tells her that she needs to quit. She cares nothing about the good of the democratic party. That was evident in the quote last week by one of her staffers – We are all about Hillary first and the party second. At the start of this race I was not against Hillary, I was just for Obama. However, the way this race has been conducted, especially once the ending became inevitable, has made me see thinigs in a new light. Really the electorate needs to think about if they want to elect a president (again) that thinks about themselves first any anyone and anything else second.

Go ANYONE but Hillary in '08, '12, '16,...

What do the clinton supporters say now to this from "one of Hillary Clinton's most ardent supporters". The people have spoken, let's unite and take back the white house!!!

Obama '08 + '12

Thank you for your "reality check," Mr. Vilsack. Let's hope Hillary does not continue her self serving, narcistic power hunt. I am hopeful she will quickly get behind Obama and bring her supporters along with her. I'm fearful she might not. This would not only hurt the party but it would hurt her political future and the Clinton legacy.

While I think and hope she will do "what is right," her past actions and her lack of realism in her math and her unwillingness to understand she is not going to win the nomination......worries me.

We need to elect a Democrat in the fall, she has fought valantly, but she needs to do what is best for the party and the country at this point.

I was appalled by Harold Ickes outrageous grandstanding! He was playing to the crowd for Hillary Clinton's ambitions at the expense of the Democratic Party's success in taking back this Presidency and repairing the damage done to this country by the Republicans.

AND now Hillary Clinton is lying about the popular vote, which has no bearing whatsoever on who our party nominates!

The Clinton campaign and supporters seem determined to sabotage the Democrats' chances in the general election if she is not the nominee. What does that tell you and the other Super Delegates?!

First, the Clinton's said they wanted the FL and MI delegates seated; and when the Committee gave them what they wanted by seating the delegates (even though these states broke the rules), AND the Committee gave Clinton a proportional share in FL, AND the Obama campaign graciously did not squabble over the 50/50 split in MI and gave Clinton the most delegates there (despite the fact that Obama was not even on the ballot!), Ickes had the gall and the nerve to make it sound as if Clinton was cheated and somehow Obama was responsible for hijacking the nomination!??!

Hillary Clinton has gone too far and has succeeded in giving the Women's Movement a bad name!

I am outraged at the recent behavior of the Clinton's and their campaign! And every Democrat who genuinely loves this country should be outraged too.

A White Female over 60!

Please TELL HER.
She and Ickes seems to be the only two people that doesn't get it OR perhaps they got it but just refusing to accept it at the expence of thr party.

Hillary, please, PLEASE just hang it up. Your past supporters are leaving you, and how are you going to pay for the general elections with over 20 million dollars of debt?

The performance of the Governor in delivering his State to Hillary has proved to be the reason why Hillary is behind in the Pledged Delegates. Is he attempting to silence Hillary like Senators Dodd and Edwards (among many) tried to do?

It is so close to someone really winning, why quit before it is offically over? Hillary is not a quiter ! She has done extremly well in a lot of states and she IS ABLE TO RALLY SUPPORT WHERE IT MATTERS !

SUPERDELEGATES - WAKE UP ! If you support Hillary she CAN WIN the nomination AND WIN in November. You do NOT have to go along with Obama just because it is the current trend.

The Democratic nominee is going to debate McCain. Hillary is an extremly intelligent, witty, eligant speaker who presents very powerful arguements. She will Blow Away – McCain.

NOT Like Mr. Ugh...Ugh...Ugh...Obama. McCain may be old but he is still quick with his answers and he will do better than Obama.

As quoted from one of CNN's articles, "with Obama's education and credentials, he does very poorly without teleprompters."

I have never seen a prominent attorney that was not quick and forcefull with his responses. It makes me wonder How Obama supposedly did so well at Law School.

Former Gov Vilsack is a true Democrat. He supports what the Democratic Party stands for. His allegiance is not towards a candidate, but what is best for America.

May our Lord-Creator bless us with thoughtful, truthful and sincere leaders for our country.

Instead of committing political suicide, Senator Clinton should be focusing on the next phase of her career. If she continues on this self-destructive path, her legacy will be one of division, obstinance, and an inability to look forward. You ran a good race but it's over. Don't destroy your reputation. It is time to back our next President and work with him to repair our economy and provide the reasonably priced healthcare you so fervently espouse.

It must be all the sniper fire she dodged that has affected her.

She should and has every right to take it to the convention. superdelegates, and delegates can change their vote at the convention. hopefully by then they will realize that she is the stronger, and better candidate for the job, and that obama is just a fairytale.

Hmmmm. He didn't help her in Iowa, and now he is telling her to get out after a huge win in Puerto Rico.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Well its about time. Now lets all get together and make sure that John McSame is NOT allowed to bring this country down any further. We must elect a democrat. Its time for Hillary to shake hands and congratulate Barack in this historic nomination.

Barack 08/12
Hillary 16/20

All I can say is, "She's melting, melting, melting......."

All her superdelegate supporters has to comeout openly and pledge their vote openly ..which makes a clear way to choose the nominee after tuesday. Because, Mccain's policies has to be debated rigourously before the Nov 4 th election. Hillary should give her honest support ( not anymore lipservice or backhand tactics) to the party as they were benefitted many decades from the party...this is the time to give back to the party...not thinking race, gender, or elite status of a person.

OBAMA 2008...!!

In the article "Clinton says she's not ready for 'political obituary'". Hillary sites that she is winning the popular vote... If the Supers can change their vote SO CAN YOU!

Given what we know about the canidates and if you honestly counted the popular vote, ALL of Florida, In MIchigan Hillary gets all of her vote but you have to give Obama not the "commiteds" but some arbitrary number(Given most of detroit would go for Obama being a close neighbor to Illinois) and then add in something for the caucusses

We are so close in numbers it's insignificant, however now lets ask if you voted early not knowing Obama would You Change Your Vote?
In addition to that Obama hasn't been so strong lately does that ride on your mind?

I think the half that voted for Barack got it right in that these last twelve contests have been more of Hillarys base (the "white" hard working " and yet Obama has still done well and is gaining delegates.

Obama has a solid message can he get it done

Sick of these darn people, I hope she stays in until the convention. There is going to be no party unity, because we aren't going to vote for Obama. We will not fall in line and this election has been rigged from the start. The DNC gave Obama Hillary's delegates she won, how is that not rigged? I'm not even sure why we even had a primary, the peoples voices are not being heard, the votes aren't being counted this is a joke.

My vote goes to McCain

vilsack is a loser. he would say that.
the people vote against obama.
but he gets delegates from RED states and the party says nominate him.

somebody is out of touch.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. Most people knew this moths ago.

It's over people...it really is over. Hillary needs to stop lying to her supporters and stop asking them for money to now just pay off her debt.

If the primaries started today. Clinton would win by a big margin. Obama has to much known about his past now. He's a corrupt Chicago Politician.

WILL SOMONE PLEASE STOP ME.

You mean it's news that Clinton's bid is effectively over? Anyone with a grip on reality has known it's been over for going on two months now.

Just think: after this week, with any luck, we'll never have to see or hear from McAuliffe, Wolfson, and Ickes ever again! Now THAT's cause for celebration!

I've never been so ashamed to be an Iowan as I am after being represented by our idiot governor and Obamite Chet Culver, and now former governor and traitor Tom Vilsack.

As Iowans, we don't do what's right democratically, like going by total votes cast. Instead, we support whomever the media dubs as our "winner".

It feels good to have dignity and be a Clinton supporter. At least I'll always know I backed the candidate that could've made a difference, and I went against our country's pathetic media, rich yet uneducated white supporters, and uneducated black voters.

So sad for Tom. He could have competed in his home state of Iowa, but I surmise the Clinton campaign came offering him half the glory with none of the work. Imagine if he had won Iowa? Could have derailed Obama in the beginning.

It's about the people or the DNC and not about Hillary Clinton or the Clinton's.....

She has always demontrated that the race was about her and not the DNC and that is why she has lost the opportunity...... She's outdated and still represents the old Washington that is no longer acceptable.

She was better off not running on the Gender Theme.....that is where she went totally off the chart....

ARE YOU LISTENING HILLARY!!!!! Everone, everyone, EVERYONE is telling you it's over. GET OUT NOW!

Hillary is to selfish, she doesn't care about anyone but herself, she will not step down until she destroys the party.

Hillary ! It's really time to go baby. WE ARE TALKING POLITICS.
Somebody has to loose, AND YOU LOST.
Come on over to the Obama wagon
(YOUR PRESIDENT).

As a Clinton supporter I think she really really needs to put the party first and throw her weight behind Obama. We MUST get the Republicans out of the White House, that's the priority. Come on Hillary, be a good sport and do what's right for our country.

The party need to come together and everyone need to work to resolve this issue. If not, this will turn out to be the beat down of the century for the Democrats if Mccain win this election. It's time to unite and get to work. Forget about the "race factor" or " the sexism factor", the next generation is watching so do great things and not just selfishness.

Thank you, I dont think she gets it though, Until the party is broken up, she is in it, to make sure Obama looses in fall

Finally...REALITY.

The bloodletting can finally come to an end and the Democrats can turn their focus toward beating John McCain.

FINALLY.

Thank you for finally telling her bluntly what many have subtly said. She has NOT won the popular vote–she counts FL and MI without awarding ANY to Obama, and does NOT count caucus States.

What I find utterly amazing, almost as amazing as saying that if you voted UNDECIDED that must have meant you voted for Obama, is that he can't win the nomination without super delegates.

It wasn't but a few months ago that the media and Obama supporters were giving themselves hearburn over the fear that Clinton would 'steal' this election from Obama by super delegates.

Yet now neither of them can win without the super delegates. Now people are saying, super delegates need to just vote for Obama and get this done with. Clinton just needs to concede. It's really funny, if NEITHER of them can win without the super delegates then why are we not just as easily saying that super delegates need to just vote for Clinton and get this done with. Obama just needs to concede?

More ironically, during the previous election screw up democrats were up in arms over the fact that the popular vote didn't win them the white house. Now, we are saying that the popular vote doesn't matter.

The democratic party really has itself all turned around. Popular vote was important before, but not now. Counting EVERY vote equally was important before, but not now. Letting every state and every individual have a say in the election was important before, but now we say let's end it after Iowa.

I believe Obama will be a fine president. However, I am disenchanted as a woman with this party and how hipocritical it is being – or maybe it is just sexist. But then again, we riot and scream and hollar when there is even a slightly, 10,000 mile away hint at racism ...

Gov. Vilsack, Please relay your most important message to Senator Clinton, she has got to get the message.

Hillary, I am one of your strong supporter but I think it is time for us all to support Obama for unity in the party.

Denver Denver Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama 08/12

Denver Denver Denver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary and supporters world is watching you and already started hating you. They think you guys are no different from unpopular President GWB.

Obama 08 and 12

Yes, it time for Clinton to step down after 06/03/2008 and join Obama win in november. DREAM TICKET!

Just another smart person that realizes that the end is near and it time to move on. Even Gov Randell said the same thing.

A voice of reason from the Clinton campaign???

I kind of feel sorry for her, she reminds me of a woman fighting for the life of your dying child! It's pretty depressing!

The only thing that I can attribute her hard fight to, is that she thinks this is her final chance to be president, so she's going to do anything since it's the last battle.

She gets more pathetic as her fight with her inner turmoil goes on and on. Let it go, be gracious and move on.............

Men stop telling us woment what to do!!!!!

She isn't going to quit.
Ask yourself this: Would Eric Cartman quit? Of course he wouldn't. And other than age, wealth, and gender I do not see much of a difference between Hillary and Eric.

Well what did you expect there jumping ship one by one soon it will be by the droves. Come on Hillary pull your ship into port and dock the mess you have caused and get behind the party

Now that the primary season is over, it is time for every democrat , Clinton supporters and Obama supporters alike, to get together so that we can win the general elections in november. We can't afford a third term of George W. Bush. Democrats, independents, we can do it together!

Amen and GET OUT!!!!

At least someone with some common sense still exists in that camp...

Clinton knows it's over, and has known it for weeks and weeks. She's simply using the rest of the nomination process to try to get her supporters to pay off her $20 million debt.

Pathetic thing is that they seem happy to comply.

Poor, naive fools.

Hillary is becoming the stalker ex-girlfriend of the campaign, with all of her best friends (in this case advisors) telling her to let it go. "He still loves me, he'll come back to me once he realizes what he's losing, all of you are wrong!" I think its time to move on, concentrate on helping NY as our Senator, but let Obama take the nomination so he can concentrate on McCain and taking over the Oval Office.

THIS WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE IN....I CAN SEE WHY BILL CHEATED ON HER....BECAUSE IS EITHER HER WAY OR NO WAY AT ALL...I USED TO LIKE HER, NOW I CAN'T STAND HER.

SHE IS DESTROYING THE PARTY AND SHE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT IT...THE SUPERDELEGATES SHOULD JUST VOTE IN RIGHT NOW AND END THIS....OBAMA IS OBVIOUSLY THE WINNER...BUT IF THE SUPERFOOLS WANT HER THEN GET IT OVER WITH...STEAL IT FROM OBAMA..IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE. THAT'S WHAT HILLARY WANTS...FOR THE SUPERFOOLS TO SWITCH OVER.

IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS..I WILL NEVER VOTE AGAIN IN MY LIFE.

Can this woman not be representative of what it means to be a loser with some degree of grace and good intention for her party?

Hey...now she's a "presidential candidate" and national figure. Once she drops out she's a nobody wannabee. What do you think she'll do?

What a sad sight Hillary has become, so convinced that she is the nominee by default that she can't come to the terms with the fact that she does not have the votes.

Counting Michigan where Obama wasn't even on the ticket was a major concession to appease her illogical small camp of devout favoritists.

Continuing this sad exercise in futile self-destruction is only going to lead to 4 more years of Bush style economics and foreign policy. It is that important. What a shame, what a disgrace.

A new day , a change in power. Go Democrats 08

Hillary is a very selfish woman. All she cares about is Hillary. She is running on desperation and hysteria. The thought of the Clintons back in the White House makes me sick. With her hysterical eyes and her bobbing head, we would have a lunatic in the White House. PLEASE GET RID OF HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"After Tuesday's contests, she needs to acknowledge that he's going to be the nominee and quickly get behind him"

Nuff Said

Hillary has fought a good fight but it is time that she concede so that the Democrats can get their nominee together and fight against McCain. I heard him this morning on CCN in Washington and he was slandering Obama. He still thinks it's okay to keep our troops in Iraq. I was in the same service he served in during the Persian Gulf war and I'll tell you this much: I prayed hard for God to bring me back to the states and vowed never to leave again. When you're in someone else's country, they could care less about you or there's for that matter. We need to get our troops from over there and let those people take care of their own country. We are going through our own wars here and the President of the United States should be here protecting our homeless VETS, homeless children, and our economy instead of worrying about other countries. They got themselves into it and should get themselves out of it. Go Obama 08' and keep up the fight.

This baffles and saddens me all at the same time. I wonder if this would be the case if the situations were reversed and Obama was the one losing the nomination and behind in delegates? I somehow doubt it. This has been over since February with Clinton losing 11 straight primaries she just refuses to lose with dignity. This is most sad.

I live in the Illinois Quad Cities and have always admired Tom Vilsack until now. Why did he have to stomp on Hillary by telling her to get out of the race like "the little woman isn't smart enough to figure it out herself?" What the hell is wrong with these "MEN" in the unDemocratic party? I quit the Democratic party after almost 40 years when they started the race baiting by calling Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Geri Ferraro, and Ed Rendell racists.........this is beyond disgusting. I will never again vote for Dick Durbin either since he decided to demand Hillary get out at least 3 months ago! Now they steal 4 delegates from Hillary in Michigan and give Obama all of the uncommitted votes! What the hell? I used to support Affirmative Action but if this is an example of how Affirmative Action works, screw that! The Democrat(ic) party is about as democratic as any third world banana republic. I probably won't vote for McCain but I will never again vote for Barack Obama as he sucks as an Illinois State Senator and I don't think he should have a promotion.

OMG!!! someone in Hillary's camp with common sense? It can't be. Well, seeing as she doesn't listen to anyone except crazy Bill and the KIng of Phony Polls, Lanny Watkins, she'll keep saying she is the one.

Now the rallying cry is the DNC took 4 delegates from her so they're trying to steal the election. I say after Tuesday, give her the 4 and tell her to be quiet, IT'S OVER. Now go back to Arkansas, Ohio, Pennsylvania or wherever you claim to be from. Just don't come back to NY, WE DON'T WANT YOU!!!!

The Clinton Empire has come to an end. A new empire– the Obama Empire will run the country in honesty and transparency.

I would advice Hillary to secure her senate seat before she loses that one as well. Rudy Guliani may be interest.

What else is new ... another Clinton backer acknowledges what the majority of us have known all along. It's over. It's been over for a while. And if she adopts the so-called "scorched earth" policy some think she might, I hope her legacy, and that of Bill's, gets burned in the process. I'll never forgive either of them if they ruin Barack's chances this year.

how sad she has to end overy speech with "please give money to hillary clinton.com" She is just like a liberal spending machine. I hope she takes Obama down and wins. She'll be so easy to smear in the Fall

DONE and OVER Hillary... WAKE UP... your narcissism is without equal... and, obviously, you and your campaign don't give a s*t about the party or this country. If you did, you would have graciously conceded LONG ago.

It would be absolutely horrendous if she continued on after Tuesday.

I still don't get how peoples can say it's over when it is clearly not. If the S.D. get their heads out of their a_ _ they'd see what is really going on.

It's over for her. Can we please stop seeing her on all the media outlets? PRETTY PLEASE? I'm begging and I have chocolate. Good grief!

Good for Ex Gov. Valsack, it's time to move.

The DNC is to be commended both supporters Hillary' and Obama's worked together to approve the FL & MI proposals, drafted by each state. The Gov. Of Michigan fully backed the plan submitted by their representative.

Since the FL & MI representatives and their voter as well are satisfied with the outcome, what's the beef?

We were told this was about ensuring that FL & MI would get their votes counted and they have. The states are quite satisfied because they brought the plans they drafted and each state's plans were approved.

So if we are to believe Sen. Clinton's argument that she has used for months telling us that she was fighting to get these states votes to count and the DNC has done that with the blessing of each state, why is she and some of her supporters still unhappy?

If this was not about FL & MI than one can conclude that should this continue this has been about Sen. Clinton's person political agenda from day one and that the FL & MI folk were a By Product of her achieving her ambitions.

We clearly hope that Icke, Tina and the others as well as Sen. Clinton will follow through on those well crafted speeches we have been hearing for months, it's about Fl & MI now that's resolved

Actually, FL & MI would have appealed their standing with the DNC with no help from anyone because those are the rules and states who have been in this position have applealed on their state's behalf with no outside help.

Let's move on in party unity, these are our expectations

PLEASE HILLARY- listen to this man!

I'll have a bottle on champagne iced down for Tuesday evening...OH, so glad this will be over soon...and the Obama bumper stickers will go on the van and pickup Wednesday morning. Ya'know, I think I might be getting over my bitterness. Thank you, Sen Clinton for your participation...Best Wishes always!

If Clinton appeals the Florida/Michigan delegate decision at the convention and drags this out longer, she has no regard for the Democratic party and doesn't deserve any Democrat's vote. Not that she had mine to begin with.

Hillary Clinton will never give up. She will never give up because she doesn’t care that ‘everyday’ Americans continue to lose their jobs and their homes. She will never give up because she doesn’t care that more young soldiers will die in a brutal war that she voted for and proudly supported hand-in-hand alongside Bush and Cheney. Among so many other important issues, Hillary Clinton will never give up because she simply doesn’t care about anything else than winning the nomination by reversing the rules that Ickes helped establish and she supported before it was clear in Iowa that she would lose.

I agree with Former Gov. Vilsack, Hillary Clinton needs to back Barack Obama. Senator Barack Obama is the winner of the 2008 Democratic Nomination. She should accept reality and support him to be able to win in November. It's out of control. Someone needs to stop her now. It's so apparent he won the nomination already. She is ridiculous. She needs to get behind this years nominee. This nominee is Senator Obama.

I wish I could believe that this bit of rational thinking could prevail but I anticipate that after Tuesday there will be yet another divisive scheme launched by the Clinton campaign.

Drop out, already!

If Hillary Clinton presses on and tries to hang on till the superdelegates change their mind ... her reputation will be DUST.

What she does will answer the question if she's willing to destroy the democratic chances of winning the election because she's trying to once again change the rules....

RULE: delegate majority not weak popular vote analysis wins the nomination. (just how did pull numbers for states with caucus based voting? from a hat??

NO...Let the woman continue her race! It's ovbious that she is not running for the white house...

OBAMA 08

Why won't Clinton go away? This country has had enough of the clintons and Bushs.
Not because she is a woman but because she is only out for herself. She should never have made Senator from NY as she didn't even know where we were before that. She didn't dare run in her home state as they had their fill of her when her husband run the state.

For the Clintons, this is all about the Clintons. It always has been. That's why we need the superdelegates to come out overwhelmingly for Obama and send Hillary back to New York to resume her senatorial duties. The Clintons have done enough damage to the nation by their selfishness, which essentially gave us eight years of Bush instead of Gore.

We all respect HRC, and it pains us to ask her to hang up the boots now. We will always love and respect her. It is time for us to heal the wounds and get behind our leader.

Another day, another Judas.

Oh Vilsack, don't you know Hillary is a fighter?

She won't let things like obvious facts get in her way.

I THINK SHE IS DEAF AND VINDICTIVE.

Now the rest of the Supers need to make it known. Obama is the Nominee. Hillary acts like a NUT CASE. Such a liar, but I believe there's something wrong with her mind. She has lost it!! When she started to lose, she expected the rules to be changed so she could win. Florida, MI, claims the most popular vote, more votes in all of American history, This is suppose to be one of America's Best, even wanted to be Pres?? We wonder what has happened to our country . Go Figure.

She really needs to stop after the last contests. Nobody is telling her to leave the party and never return, but all she will do by continuing to try and draw support away from Obama is prove how divisive she is.

As important as this race is, let's not forget that the same basic electoral processes, including touch screen machines with no paper trail made by Bush family corporate friend Diebold, that allowed the last two presidential elections to be tampered with, are still in place! For the first time ever, the U.S. banned international monitoring of our last election even though we demand OTHER nations submit to them, and it is clear that Florida and Ohio votes were tampered with in 2000 and 2004. Instead of being distracted by lapel pins and wacko ministers and Hillary vs. Obama as the new "bread and circuses", we must as a people demand a paper trail for EACH AND EVERY vote. America simply cannot afford to have democracy sabotaged a third time....too much is at stake. Tampered with elections GOT us into the current tragic mess we struggle with daily.

Clinton has already done far too much damage to the Democratic party. She has filled her remaining supporters heads with lies and doubts, so getting her supporters behind Obama is going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible. For the sake of the country, though, I hope enough of them wake up and vote for Obama in the general election. It would certainly help to have Clinton face the facts and start backing Obama, but it seems like she won't be doing that any time soon.

Please, don't let McCain become our next President.

Even Hillary's key supporters know that she's already lost any chance to the nomination. She should bow out respectfully for the greater good of the Democratic party. Obama will need the support of all democrats in order to keep McSame outta the White House

Traitor ...

It's finally out there in the open. In Hillary's victory speech yesterday she made the flat-out statement that she's doing better in the polls than is Obama.

That is a lie, completely untrue.

One of the most credible and objective poll number crunching web sites, Real Clear Politics, has collected the most reputable polls out there of the critical swing states.

And here's what they show.

They agree that both Clinton and Obama beat McCain in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Jersey, Washington and California.

They agree that McCain beats either Clinton or Obama in Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.

In how many states does Clinton beats McCain but McCain beats Obama? One, Florida, with its 27 electoral votes.

In how many states does Obama beat McCain but McCain beats Clinton? FOUR!!! Those four states are Colorado, Iowa, Oregon and Wisconsin. And guess what? Those four states carry a total of 33 electoral votes, yes, 33. Six more than Clinton's total from Florida.

The overall Electoral College count at the moment for the two candidates versus McCain? Clinton has 261 to McCain's 277. Obama has 267 to McCain's 271.

So it's absolutely untrue that Clinton, in any way, manner, shape or form, is a stronger candidate than Obama. Quite the reverse: Obama is slightly stronger than Clinton.

I really hope the Obama people stumble across this post, read it, and double-check it for themselves. I really hope that the rest of us note this fact, repeat it endlessly in all the blog threads, and eventually manage to bring it to the attention of the campaign.

Obama is the strongest Dem candidate at the moment, according to the most objective evidence, unquestionably and indisputably. Clinton's claims to the contrary are simply false; there's no other way of putting it. She's counting on people not checking the facts for themselves. We need to call her on this, particularly with the superdelegates.

Yes, we can,

I just want to say that, this race was over month's ago, i just wonder if obama was beyond clinton in delegate, this was longtime ago over, but i just want to say that the american's have the chance and the opportunity to be the america that is use to be, to be american in aboard years ago was proudness, now this days you have to fiar for your life, and when you told people that you are american, everybody look at you in the way that like you are crimineel of something. Sho American's you have the chance and opportunity now to lead the world again, sho vote Obama 08
Thanks and one love
Biro Bah

Why would she give up? People act like she has no backing whatsoever, but with a small difference in delegates, she'd be silly to give up now. She has won the largest, most influential states in the popular vote, not to mention the states necessary to win in November. And if Obama's mentors keep it up, he definitely won't win the election.

Please Sit Down HRC! She is like the House-Guest who missed the Exit Cue! This is not going to help your next attempt to run for the Big chair....People will choose to sit you down very quickly next time around! Not to mention that your core supporters ovet the age of 65 will be very much dimished in the next 8 years due to expiratory life expectancy! Sorry but the truth is just as ugly as your campaign!!! Sit Down...

Vilsack can do simple arithmetic. Anyone who can knows she lost.

Hillary is in this for her own absurd selfish reasoning.

For the sake of the party, and the country, we can only hope that she will do precisely what Vilsack is asking her to do. Those ardent supporters of hers who are threatening to sit on their hands, or vote for McCain, need to be convinced how foolish this would be. The best person to do the convincing would be HRC herself. And she needs to sound like she means it. I mean, she does think Obama would be a far better president than McCain, right? Of course she does!

Another disloyal democrat–Obama seems to attract disloyalty. Is it any wonder that many are leaving the democratic party–Some of us cannot ignore the lies, deceptions and secrets of the Obama campaign. he is new to national politics, but seems to know all of the dirty tricks and how to use them–"change" as usual!

It was clear Obama was a nominee when he was handpicked as “Dean Dozen” to go distances when Howard dean lost his bid for President in 2004. DNC and part of the Democratic Party establishment that could not stand Clintons did everything possible to shove Obama everybody’s throat. He will loose GE. And do not invite Hillary’s supporters to “unite behind him.” You did not want to unite behind her.
Ferraro was right, he would not bee a nominee if he was a white male or female. Do not even mention female politicians supporting Obama (Sibelius, McCaskill, Klobucar). They supported him only to get on his ticket because they could not possible compete with a female candidate of Clinton’s caliber.

Folks, I'm sorry but Hillary doesn't care what anybody says or thinks. She will continue to selfishly stay in this race to cause more damage and chaos. So no matter what her supporters or anyone else says it means nothing. What she seemingly doesn't realize and due to her antics is SHE alone has made it harder for other women who have hopes of ever running for President of the US., but i'm sure she doesn't care about them either.

It's about DAYUM time! Now if only she will let it go and realize that this is BIGGER than her wants or desire. It is NOT about being right, but about DOING right!!!

Did Obama EVER insinuate that Clinton was a Lesbian, while she insinuated on CBS (a mainstream media outlet) that Obama could possibly be Muslim. Did you see or hear outrage of that CBS insinuation from the Obama Campaign, but yet heard outrage from the Clinton campaign of sexism.... this prolonged election brought out some pretty ugly stuff.

It's about time. She is polishing the silver on the Titanic, when everyone else sees that she has already lost and she's only confusing her supporters and further dividing the party she's just being selfish. I'm a republican and I can see that... and I'm also voting for Obama.

You got that right and by the way the news network have not been fair to Obama, it's Hillary all the time on the news always concern about her and her feeling's what about Obama it's always negtive and don't tell me it's not because I watch the news everyday. Where is McCain faults they are not being talk about, yes a line here and their, not like Obama and the same for Hillary. All you news reporters are upset that Hillary isn't winning. Of course you will not admit to this but it's true and that is because he's a black man. When he try's to attack McCain on a point it's on for a minute but McCain get all the time he want's on the networks. Again the same with Hillary. She needs fo go away I use to like the Clintons. Now I don't like the Clinton. It's Obama BABY....

Tuesday is a big day. hopefully she will make the right decision and bring this fight to McCain.

Those of us with growing concern over the last four months, regarding Senator Clinton's ability and in fact apparent need to warp reality to fit her own view of things, are not displeased that she has been defeated. The prospect of her presidency was becoming a little scary.
But we are also not optimistic that she will exit gracefully, even with the encouragement of those more balanced people who have faithfully supported her. All those sycophants, the worms in the Clinton woodwork, who hope to profit personally from her election, seem dedicated to telling she will win and aiding her in suspending reality. Until Senator Clinton steps out of that infested structure into the light, there seems little prospect of grace in defeat. Perhaps it is time for Chelsea to become the parent and perform an intervention. Bill seems to be in the woodwork. By demonstrating grace, Senator Clinton might still be an excellent candidate for a cabinet position, perhaps Secretary of Health and Human Services.

It is time Hilary threw in the towel and accept the fact that this race is over for her. To continue pressing forward is only damaging her own career, and showing us exactly what kind of person she is. She can determine how we see her at this point.

She Can't Manage a Campaign, But You Want Her to Be President? Please Explain Why.
By Big Blue – June 1, 2008, 5:46PM
A Left Anchor special commentary:

The media crowned her the victor before the first vote was cast.

She had the most recognizable name in Democratic politics.

She had the money, and her pick of the best operatives in Democratic politics.

And yet, what happened? Her campaign blew through her funds, failed to plan for any contests after Feb. 5th, didn't bother to compete in the caucus states other than Iowa and Nevada, and she personally suggested that the Republican nominee was better suited for the presdiency than her Democratic opponent.

She chose her staffers based more on loyalty than competence. Her own senior strategist, Mark Penn (no surprise), seemed unfamiliar with the rules of proportional division of the delegates in Democratic primaries, claiming at one point that should Clinton win California, she'd receive all the delegates and effectively put the nomination well within her reach.

She demonstrated a complete lack of ability to keep her husband from shooting off his mouth - a mouth which usually did more harm to her campaign than good.

She decided that she'd break the very rules she had previously agreed to in order to help her secure the nomination. This was particularly strange given that even seating the full delegations would still have put her behind in the delegate count.

She discounted caucus states, states with overwhleming white majorities, and basically any state that didn't vote for her.

She raged against her opponent, doing her best to undercut the legitimacy of his impending nomination even at the expense of party unity.

She's proven incapable of dismissing even the most clueless of her advisers - cough, Mark Penn, cough - and has demonstrated that she has little or no control over her surrogates (see Ferrarro, Bill Sheehan).

At no point in this election has the Clinton campaign demonstrated its ability to run an effective organization. So, please, someone explain to me why I should expect a Clinton adminstration to be any better. Exactly what are her supporters basing their beliefs on?

She is only staying on because she is still raising money from her elderly white followers. She can still take their money as long as she is a "candidate". This would have been a real race if she hadn't lied and been so negative with her campaign. Glad to see her go away.

For all intents and purposes, this has been over since Obama won 11 straight contest by a 33% average margin.

How can one expect Hillary to what she says she will do if she were to be elected? She lies about the popular vote, by not counting the caucus states, and adding Michigan where Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot. If she lies about things that are obviously not true, how can you trust her in the White House to not lie about policy matters?

She would lie and cover up policy failures instead of correcting them. She would be a democratic version of Bush when it comes to trustworthiness.

Note to Hillary:

IT'S OVER!!

CHILD PLEASE!!!

OBAMA '08 & '12

YEAH ITS OVER!

OBAMA 08/12.

Clinton has not won the popular vote if you include the caucus states and any arguement they don't count is excluding states that followed the rules. She is losing in popular vote, delegates, and states won. She is so far into debt because her own people are not supporting her because they realize she has lost. If she continues on after Obama has the nomination hoping she can bully super delegates into changing their vote would show her willingness to win at all costs even if it means McCain winning in November.
Her supporters talk about how she has been discriminated against because she is a woman. But they don't realize that just because she is a woman does not make her intitled to the job. I am a female who supports Barack Obama because Washington is broke and won't be changed by Washington insiders. She is a Washington insider and if she is elected we will not have the changes we needed. She is not willing to work with others, it is her way or the highway. That is not working and we need change.

She just won yet another land-slide victory. This contest is FAR from over!

Thanks Governor Vilsack. Finally someone in the Clinton camp with some common sense, not the likes of Harold Ickes bent on destroying the Democratic Party. This idea by some Clinton backers that it is Clinton or nothing is laughable and just goes to reinforce this notion that Hillary Clinton felt she was entitled to the nomination. All those Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee should make sure they keep their word. That sort of veiled threat does not scare anybody. If a republican is elected president again, it is a loss for all of America . I hardly see how this would help their candidate Clinton who did not get the nomination. She has fought a good fight and lost ,and after tomorrow she must exit the stage gracefully and let the democratic nominee take on John McCain.

BREAKING NEWS!

Hillary's campaign announces that Hillary will make her June 3rd, celebration speech from New York!

Thank you Vilsack......

Obama '08

Of course, now, she'll run as an independent because she is so power hungry and wants to become president so that she can continue make all the secret deals that made her and her husband rich after leaving the white house. Why is no body in the press bothering to mention that the Clintons are business partners with the Bushes?

And the only one not to see this is Hillary....because after all the "experience" she doesn't have....and all the "sniper fire" she had to endure (which never happened) – and all the switching of positions she did..(depending on which state she was in defined her position at that moment....NAFTA anyone?) – omg...wake up

I see CNN has no postings about the upcoming article in Vanity Fair about how Bill Clinton has been sleeping around with several women recently. If that had been Barack Obama or even Michelle Obama it would have been the leading story. You people at CNN never cease to amaze me.

Please have the same sense your supporter has..it is over and now is the time to unify the paRTY...MCSAME IS NOW THE OPPONENT we must All work to defeat....not each other!!!

Bye Bye Establishment candidate, do anything to win, manipulative, riding Bill's coattail, only count people who vote for you in big states, lying, cheating, phony, Think your're entitled, "because Im a woman" Take your losing pant suit back to New York, where you never lived anyway. Fake!

People wth common sense would never support a candidate that blatantly lies so much

Obviously, she's not listening.

Why yes, let's head into the general election with the least favorable candidate. Good call Democrates!

One year ago I thought that Hillary had it in the bag. I thought she was smart, fair, and was the best candidate. Then I heard Obama speak and was impressed from day one. I started thinking how she would make a great VP. Over time my opinion has changed. She is ruthless and I am scared of her. Her reasoning that she deserves the Michigan votes even though her opponent was not competing there is not just. Her embracing of Puerto Rico because she needs it is sad and desperate. It is time for her to support her party and her country and exit gracefully. She should hope that Obama would still consider her as VP after all the stuff she has said and let others do to him but I still give her some credit. I know Barack Hussein Obama will make a great president! I also want the world to know that I am wearing my lapel pin as I type this so I am a true American.

Hillary supporters have to think this through: is this really worth it? If through fuzzy math or jiggering the superdels to give Hillary the nomination, what would that mean for the party, 10, 20 or 50 years from now? African Americans have been the most reliable Democratic voters since the 1930s. Concocting a road for Hillary to get the nomination could shake that loyalty in a year where a moderate like McCain could exploit this. A 20% shift in African- American voting patterns could put several swing states out of reach for decades.

It simply is not going to happen.

Its NOT over yet. Maybe arrogant Barack Hussain Obama will fall in his face by August. Hang in there Hillary! The more people learn about that snake the more they will change to Hillary.

Hillary 2008! Go Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary, I feel sorry for you. You are a mentally sick woman. You need help. I have some connections... I can give you a phone #....
Please, calm down, go to Puerto Rico for vacation and forget about our country.
With best regards,
Gina

If Clinton takes this to the convention then the Democrats will lose in November, its that simply. Will Clinton destroy the party? Only she knows....

Not until she says it's over. If she could just get a minute to sleep and talk with herself.

Governor, You are the man. I hope Hillary will follow your lead and wisdom...

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 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!

Denial, destruction, defeat:

Hillary denies the inevitable, the party destructs, the Democrats are defeated in November. It's a simple math equation, but since when does Hillary understand math? Obviously not delegate math.

I'm must admit that at the start of this contest, I really didn't care for Hillary. But as the process has unfolded I've become impressed with her determination - but not her methods. You can't question her tenacity, but you can question her judgement. I wish her well in the future, but Obama has won.

I think this is going to be a pretty common story soon. Many of the party's members saved themselves the trouble of debate by backing the inevitable nominee early in the campaign, but are ready to change their minds now that it really matters who they support.

Why vote against the sure-thing and have that on file when she's going to be the most powerful person in the country? The superdelegates were, until Obama's surprise wins, in a position from which it looked as though their votes wouldn't matter, so they did what was politically expedient.

Political expediency has been shattered, and their hastily declared alliances will falter.

if it's time then shouldn't he switch his support for Obama?

Anyother smart supporter of Clinton says it's over, hope that Mrs. Clinton acknowledges this and concede already so we can get ready for the GE.

Obama 08 & 12

Big development. I can understand the frustration amongst the Clinton supporters. I think the majority of them are no different than the Obama supporters – they want a candidate they believe in to win the nomination and represent the Democratic party this fall.

I just hope that the Clinton supporters can see the difference between Obama and McCain, and do what's right not only for our party, but for the country. Voting for McCain out of spite is the wrong way to express dissatisfaction with how the primaries are conducted by the DNC. There will be a time to effect change in that process.

Please, Clinton supporters: if Obama is declared the nominee, please support the Democratic Party and keep George Bush v2.0 from getting into the White House.

Please, Obama supporters: no more childish taunts. You hurt our cause by insulting Clinton and her supporters.

Let's all unite for the common good of putting a Democrat back in office so we can begin repairing all that has been destroyed or damaged over the last 7 years.

By the way..how much is Clinton in the hole financially? The media hasn't reported on that lately??

IT SURE IS !!!..YEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAWWWWWWWW..

OBAMA 08'/12'

Does she know it's over. Everyone else seems to get it. I hope this celebration she is having is going to be worth talking about.

And Vilsack's comments about wanting Hillary to give up just shows how weak he is. He doesn't know what is means to fight for what you believe in, as Hillary does, or he wouldn't have dropped out of the race in just a few months. If he was a true, ardent supporter of Hillary's, he would NEVER say give up. All of us Hillary supporters love how she has not caved in under all the pressure around her the last five months – this point shows that she will also be as tough as a fighter for our country when president. She is the best candidate for America, and nothing that MSNBC, Drudge report, or HuffingtonPost has tried in their propaganda against Hillary will ever brainwash me into believing anything but the truth. And that truth is Hillary is the strongest candidate for the next four years!! The MSM and the above anti-Hillary outlets that have done all they could to win Obama this nominee have to live with themselves for the wrong they've done. I know my conscience is clear – how about theirs? Keep fighting Hillary!!

I am an independent who will be voting democratically in November because the current state of affairs. I don't care who wins the nomination, but it seems that everybody knows it's over besides Hillary. How can she continue to say she is the only candidate to beat John McCain and then have her advisors state she will campaign for Barack if he wins? Why would simply be a hypocrite at that point? Why would anyone believe her?

Democrats 08/12

Hillary please do what Vilsack has said to you. Don't try to fight no more please.

Please listen to Tom Vilsack, Sen. Clinton...

About time. The question is, will Hillary pride keep her going???

Hillary, I know it hurts but the train has left the station. Now, put down that kitchen sink and face the reality of PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Right......."if you don't count the caucus states or anyone who voted on a Tuesday or any state where Obama was on the ballot, then I win! I will vote for myself and so will my crazy hubby, so I win!!!! Yea, me!"

Will someone please tell her what a fool she looks like? I pity her, really.

Congrats, Hillary. You have made your mark on history, now step aside.

OBAMA will win this nomination. I hope HRC throws her support behind the Democratic nominee so that her supporters will follow suit and we will win against McCain. It saddens me every day to read her supporters claim they will "vote McCain" if she is not the nominee. She alone can unite her supporters into joining Obama's supporters which will for sure seal the election of the next President of the United States of America. Hillary is a tenacious fighter and once she concedes the nomination, she will be a shining star in helping to win the White House back.

Please Please Mrs. Clinton

Don't destroy the Party you claim to admire. Support our nominee

If Tom Vilsack thinks Hillary Clinton is going to give up her dream of taking over the world just because of a little thing like an election, he really needs to see a psychiatrist – so he can get in touch with reality.

Folks, she is going to destroy Obama for the GOP for the fall. She's going to do what Reagan did in 1976 – possibly more overtly.

Thank you thank you!! Finally someone in Hillary's camp speaking with some wisdom. She may be popular by the vote(she says) but her Party has the confidence in Obama. Give it up Hillary leave with some dignity, please because every vote for McCain means another year of war.

AGREE!!!!

the dominoes are FINALLY starting to fall . . .

I've have been saying this since February, that Clinton wasn’t going to get the nomination. Why did it take this long for her supporters to come to a logical conclusion? Here is some real news, World Series of Poker kicked off this weekend, and cash game player Nenad Medic won his first bracelet in event 1- 10,000 pot limit tournament taking home over $ 800,000. His career winnings total $3,654,183. Not bad for a cash game player.

Well, at least SOME of her supporters can do the math without cheating. How refreshing. Now if Hilary can just get real we can move on.

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

Great for you Gov. Now if some of the overzealous will wake up and get on with the business of Electing a Democrat to the WhiteHouse.

What part of "NO" (as in no nomination) doesn't Clinton get?

At this stage of the democratic primaries, it is evident to all and sundry that Senator Hillary Clinton acknowledges her defeat in the primaries. Her definace in staying on might be a strategy geared towards her future political career or an effort to deepen the divide of an already divided democratic party or both.

Why is it that everytime Hillary has a win someone from her side, Obama's side or republican tells her it is time to quit. Are they afraid she is going to split the party?

The reality is Obama has already split the party. Hillary is the only democratic candidate now that represents the general views of the party.

Obama is so left that many democrats cannot support him at all.

McCain is more a real democrat than Obama.

Obama should have ran as an independent.

However the reality is that I cannot vote for Obama in any way or measure no matter what support Hillary throws toward him if he is the nominee.

Matter of fact I have kept track of my local politicians that endorsed Obama and will make sure to vote against them their next terms.

It is Hillary 08 or McCain 08.

NEWS ANCHORS HAVE WAY TOO MUCH POWER!
Republicans...what a wonderful job you have done! Again, you have cramed Barack Obama down our throats through news media and have done whatever it takes to get Obama on the ticket. You have discounted Hillary over and over...Congratulations! Yes, again you have proven that Domocrats are dumb! The Democratic Voter is screaming loud and clear who they want for President but are being ignored. To all of the Republican News People(90%)...Good Job! McCain will be the next President of the United States. Hillary was the only one who could beat him and you knew it! Good Job! I don't know how you can tolerate us "dumb Democrats"! As soon as Hillary leaves, in your calculating, minipulative way you will start ripping up Obama...piece by piece.

It has been over for some time. Hillary cannot face the fact that she will not be the nominee.

I think we have seen enough venom from her supporters, and that she has done the damage intentionally.

It is more than time for her to leave, for the billionth time, and allow the campaign to continue for the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama.

Hillary, please take the obvious hint, and do the right thing – withdraw.

LISTEN UP CLINTON .. SUPPORTORS ARE TELLING YOU
LOUD!! AND CLEAR!! IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER, IT'S OVER

Please, Hillary....give it up! You made a good run, but you lost. For once, think of the country instead of yourself.

This Presidential primary election was never going to be fair. As they say in Chicago, "the fix is in". Now the Democratic nominee must be determined behind closed doors. This is the change we can believe in: Barack Obama = Politics, Chicago Style.

duh! also, who is that same black buy who sits at hillary's left shoulder after every primary? i noticed the same black buy at the penn rally wearing boxing gloves, he was in WV wearing the same boxing gloves, and then yesterday he was in PR. call it shipping in votes. i used to like hillary and bill, but what they have done in this primary is unforgivable. hillary supporters, if you vote for mcsame then you will have to explain to your children's children why they will still be in iraq in 100 years. i am a pro-life democrat, but women will have to tell their daughters that they have not choice rights and back to the "old days" of back alley abortions. i am pro-life, but i am also for quality medical care, especially if abortions are necessary to save the mother's life. finally, you will then have to explain to your grandchildren why grandma is homeless due to the foreclosures, high gas prices, high food prices, and all the while big business such as oil continues to thrive and send jobs overseas while enjoying tax cuts. explain why you don't have to play by the rules and you can simply change them at the end of the game. obama has played by the rules and has won. he even allowed and agreed to change the rules to allow Michigan and FL to make hillary feel better, but she still is crying foul. wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!!! we can not afford a 3rd bush term–my debt is rising and health care is out of control. my 48 year old father from the reserves was just shipped out last month to iraq for his 2nd tour of duty! wake up, wake up, wake up!!! since we are succeeding ans mcsame, just like bush, have been saying for 5 years then why can't we leave? wake up folks!!!!!

Hillary Clinton should bow out and get behind Obama. She alone can change the ugly climate in the United states becasue it was she who started it by using ugly words and playing on these people weakness. If she leave now it would send a signal that this campaign democratic party is united, and its not about her being ruthless and selfish personal agenda.

If she want to point fingers it should be the way that they ran this campaign. They never had a plan after Super Tuesday, and she AGAIN could not control Bill. Which one has to ask "If she cant control him, how can she control the country..

Clinton still can have a career in politics- and the choice is hers. Blacks and whites are suffering under the Bush administration and the Clinton NAFTA deal which is having a ripple effect. All our citizens are out of jobs, no health care, rising gas cost. These are the items that are affecting all of us so to play that race card is just horrible. We must bring our young troops homes NOW> many of them are committing suicide, not to mentione we are dying like flies. Yes, Hillary can help by moving on to help Obama move this country in the right direction.

There are some sane people still left in the Clinton campaign. I guess all is not lost at this point.

of course its over.its been over since super tuesday.some people are just too stubborn,and are willing to risk anything and everything for power and greed.even our own country.i will be mad at the clintons for some time to come,and i will never vote for them ever,for any office unless they are running against mccain or bush.

In a more balanced world, McCain would have won the election in 2000 and the world would be a different place. He would have focused on Afghanistan and not invading Iraq to be better than Daddy was.

In a more just world, Senator Obama would have waited 8 years, polished his knowledge and built a base but he didn't. Senators Clinton and McCain are going to have to reconcile themselves to long and distinguished careers as Senators.

Clinton has every right to go on to the convention. obama has not won anything in his life. he did not even win his senate seat fairly. Clinton can get behind, in front of, above or below obama but I will never vote for him. he is the most deceitful sly person to ever run for the office. Yes this election will go down in history. As the election that destroyed the constitution of the united states.

Why is it that EVERYONE around this lady understand REALITY...that the DELEGATES are what counts NOT THE VOTE COUNT...Well HRC your RUN is OVER...take a hint from your supports and stop thinking you and BIll are ENTITLED to the WHITE HOUSE....SORE LOSER!!!!

OBAMANATION!!!!

I wonder... is it really over. I think Hillary will make her last stand at the convention.

Tell me something that I don't already know. This race has been over since Texas. Clinton just doesn’t want to accept that she has lost.

But it's good to hear that some of Clinton's strongest supporters realize the reality of this race. Now, maybe he can speak some sense into this psychotic woman's head.

Why doesn't he tell her that? He's not man enough. Most men who support her aren't.

It's been over, HRC has been running unopposed for the last 2-4 weeks now. Remember it is all about the delegates and she has been out since NC voted.

Please Hillary. We're ready for your commitment to campaign your heart out for Barack. This is so timely. If you do this now, you will achieve, I believe, a tangible level of respect from the majority of the American people. You've a fought hard, a tenacious fight as a formidable candidate. The moment is now to support this man who has captured the heart and minds of so many Americans. As you go on to do great things, and I believe you can, let part of your legacy, be this: to encourage those who have supported you to join you in bringing America back to the people by helping to elect Barack Obama. Graciousness at this point is the key to your future blessings.

Thanks Vilsack........

bend the rules, only when it suites hillary. sighhhhhhhhh.. she ought to be ashamed of herself.

THE ONLY MATH THAT MATTERS: THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

If someone can tell me how Obama wins, I'm all for him.

Until then, it looks like McGovern all over again.

DELUSIONS LIES....DELUSIONS, LIES, CHANGING THE RULES, TWISTING THE SUPERDELEGATES ARMS.

WE ALREADY HAVE A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT........

HILLARY JUST GET OUT.......

He's right, except that it was over months ago, after she lost to Obama in Texas.

She used to be someone my colleagues and friends looked up to. Now she is simply the butt of watercooler jokes. Not because she is a woman, but because she ran a terrible campaign, lost to a freshman senator with no experience, and now is the irritating friend-of-a-friend who can't figure out when it is time to leave the party.

Give it up Hillary! Florida and Michigan are the last bit of hope for you and unfortunatley those states broke the rules and somehow expect to not have to pay the consequences for doing so. So typical of the mentality of the many people of this country.

It was over for her weeks ago. She has that Clinton ego that says push on at all costs. Even if it costs the Dems the General Election. This has been all about her, not the Country.It is time for the undecided Super Delegates to get off the high horses, back Obama and get this Party back together again. And for the Clinton supporters to say that they will back McSane, go for it. You people are just like the GOP, digusting. You people deserve 4 more years of the same.

She will never quit. Even if the sun went nova, she will still be out there hacking away. What would her life be without being a big shot ? Happy evenings with Bill maybe ? Too bad we are stuck with her in the peoples' republic of NY. She is like a bad summer cold ...... she just hangs on to torture all of us until we are dead of mind from the mind dulling presentations that she gives us all so that we can be better people and all that stuff. Give me a break from her ......... please !

Yes. She needs to realize this or risk ruining the party she says she loves and allowing the republicans back into the white house. If that happens (because she dragged this race on and on and vehemently divided the democrats)....there will be no one else to blame but her. No one.
If she REALLY cared about American citizens.....she would get over herself and concentrate on us. Conceding the race, backing Obama and getting her supporters behind him is the only thing she can do.....or she will go down in history as a the first woman to bring an already hurting nation to its demise....instead of being part of lifting it up.
Who is more important....Hillary Clinton or the children of America and their future?
It's in her hands.

Reality Strikes!!! And it's going to strike harder tomorrow. Obama will be the nominee. I feel Democrats will unite though. Especially with the price of gas continuing to rise and food going up, the majority of Americans struggling to make ends meet. I don't think people will let their feelings toward the primary override what's really important. True enough it may be a few people that possess that level of ignorance, but not enough to tilt the election in the Republicans favor.

its like the world series went like this

game 1 HC 10 BO 0
game 2 HC 2 BO 3
game 3 HC 10 BO 0
game 4 HC 2 BO 3
game 5 H C 2 BO 3
Game 6 HC 10 BO 0
game 7 HC 2 BO 3

Barack Obama wins series 4 games to 3

however Hillary declares herself the winner based on most runs scored

truly ridicolous…. Hillary loves to changes the rules when they dont favor her…. she was 100% for the DNC sanctions of MI and FLA… when it wasnt in her favor …she is the champion for those states voting rights….. where was HILLARY month and months after the DNC sanction? she had nothing to say about it.. TILL SHE FELL BEHIND…

Obama 08 or Mccain 08…. no Billary

Clinton is not the first candidate losing the primary to believe they are the best candidate. Others have just had the integrity to put party interest first and move out of the way. Hillary is too self-centered and short-sighted to see this and do the honorable thing. It's unfortunate that she is resorting to tactics that are not part of the party race rules to gain support – popular vote, swing states, etc. If these should be the basis for gaining the nomination, the party should implement those measures. Until now, all prior party nominees gained that nomination through the existing rules. Claiming to garner the popular vote by winning elections that were not contests is ridiculous – the nominee will face competition in every state in the general election. Hillary – it's time to move on and try to save a little bit of any dignity you have left.

Indeed it is over. It is time for Gore, Pelosi, Reid, Dean, and the others to announce their support so we can begin to not only campaign in the general election, but to also heal the party wounds. They are significant as I was surprised to see how supporters conducted their selves on Saturday. I am sure that many of them had to know that the RBC wasn't going to make any decisions that would alter Obama winning the nomination. It was about party unity more than it was about either candidate and compromises were made. Some people think compromising is unjust and unfair, but both sides had to give up something. Obama had more to lose and Clinton had more to gain in the process. Either way, I am glad this chapter is almost over because if this country places another Republican into office, I don't know what will be in store for us. God help us all!

To women who support Hillary Clinton and vow to support McCain over Obama, I really, really, really hope and pray that you will reconsider. You have no idea of the amount of risk you are waging upon us women across this country. Women like my grandmother who fought for civil rights and who helped to protect a woman's right to choose what she wanted to do with her body. I am not for abortions, but I don't think a Supreme Court has the right to tell me or another woman what to do. A vote for McCain is essentially a vote to promote wars, certain death and destruction. It is a vote that will have rippled effects to last long beyond his 4 years of Presidency as a result of the judges he plans to appoint. It is a vote that will continue to allow the rich to indulge in tax breaks while the majority of Americans continue to struggle. Please look at the similarities between Obama and Clinton policies.

Democrats '08

Sen. Clinton knows it is over. She is like the family member that comes to visit and overstay their welcome.

This just in. Clinton states that the Mars Lander has not received a vote and she will continue until this glaring oversight has been corrected!

So Hillary... this again shows that you think that you're more important than the Democrats winning in November. If you don't drop out after the primaries tomorrow, the possibility of a loss by the Democrats in November will increase... and it will be your fault. Are you sure you're not in cahoots with the Republicans?

Democrats '08

Everyone can see the writing on the wall except for Hillary. Her thirst for power is blinding her from reality.

Hillary you fought a long hard fight but unfortunately with all the advantages you still came in second, your electability, popular vote, big state talking points do not add up to a row of beans as neither is factually correct.

Impressions do not count only cold hard facts.

Mr Obama is the nominee

OMG GO AWAY CLINTON.

She may not be the choice of the powers that be. She is still my candidate in November. We, in California can write in candidates and I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November as well as at least 100 people I know of. Will it make a difference? I know if all her supporters do it, it will make a difference.

Obama outspent Clinton 3 to 1 and still just barely managed a majority. How does that reflect on his electability against McCain when the Republicans get out their big guns?
Go Hillary!! Michigan was ROBBED!!! It ain't over til it's over!!

It ain't over till Hillary says it's over.

Somebody needs to shake her, slap her around a little bit so she comes to her senses. She is just shellshocked and in denial. The "inevitable" has lost. She's like a little kid pouting in the corner.
The longer she goes on the more it hurts the democrats. But she is such a sore loser it would not surprise me if she has the "if it won't be me, it won't be anyone" attitude. She'd rather go down dragging the democratic party with her. In 2000 the Dems were Nadered and Supreme Courted, in 04 swiftboated and we'll see if we're Clintoned in 08...

Hillary...it's over.....it's over....it's over...

Everyone but Clinton and Wolfson thinks its over. Two divisive figures on the Democratic side.

Vilsack gave up his own presidential vision and when the going get's tough he gives up on Hillary. She's the new Rocky Balboa in the race. It's not only possible it's inspiring she can still knock out not only Obama, but McCain too. She's the only one that has conviction, no matter what. Vilsack is a flipflop.

I watched the CNN coverage of the Puerto Rico Primary, yesterday, and I must say that Gloria Borger and Jeofrey Toobin are a bunch of mealy-mouthed, whack, haters. We already know that Jack Cafferty is a hater, but come on, CNN. You've got to get some better people on your panel. Gloria Borger acts like she is just jealous of Hillary Clinton and Toobin is just an egghead woman-hating Mr. Know-it-all.

The Democrats will not unite behind Obama. Many people will not join the choir of sexist haters. You people are pathetic. CNN and MSNBC will be to thank for Obama's loss in the general election.

The stupid Democrats, who can't see that Hillary Clinton is a sure fire thing in the general, will hand the election to McCain. Egghead Democrats are not listening to the people. The Democratic Party is not the party of the people. It is the party of the elitists. These stupid so-called Democrats think they know everthing. That is how Kerry lost. People are just not going to fall in line because the egghead Democrats and black people say so. God, the Democrats are stupid. All of the people on MSNBC are woman haters. Chick Todd, Chris "the Obama loving closet homosexual" Matthews. Andrea "a house fell on my sister's head, wicked witch" Mitchell. That short haired lady who lookie like a man. All of them are woman-hating jerks. CNN is a big joke and is not the most trusted name in news. Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs and John King are the only fair minded people. The rest of them make me want to puke.

Bye bye, Hillary, bye bye. Thank you for being SUCH a spoiler. Are there no limits to your ego?

I support Hillary too.

And I agree. The nomination process is over.

Now it's time for the centrist in the Democratic party to take the party back from the left. I'll do my part by not voting for Obama and demonstrating to the DNC and the MSM that the voters are the ones to decide...not them.

The MSM media already forced 8 years of Bush on us...no more.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Finally. Obama has been polite and positive in his campaigning and she really needs to let bygones be bygones. If she continues campaigning after Tuesday this is without a doubt about her and not the constituents. Well done Obama. Do you think her next big announcement will be her divorce?

Hillary, please listen to your friends and supporters. We don't need to fight any longer, we need to unite. You will continue to serve our country well and we will continue to be proud of you but it is time to acknowledge and move on. We've grown very weary of the fight. Please?

You will have to win over Reagan Democrats to win this election. Plain and simple.

But, just for once, I hope many of you would stop the bigoted, hateful remarks that spew from your fingers.

It would make these places much more interesting to read than Jerry Springer type filth...

Sorry Jerry... referring to the guests on your show... not you.

hillary – run as an indepdent.

i am angry at the democratic party who has forced this guy on us and i will not vote for him.

i will leave the party the day hillary concedes, become a republican and support john mccain.

OBAMA = THE OBAMINEE

Clinton is like a lingering bad cold that just keeps holding on. Why the heck don't she disappear? She just cannot accept the fact that it is over for her. She really thinks she is owed the nomination just because she is Hillary Clinton. No honey, it ain't happening! Get over yourself & move on.............Please you are so pathetic! To think that I was for you at first, but your dirty politics has been such a turn off, and oh the lies, you are not to be trusted.

Another NON-delusional democratic leader. Thank you for standing up and supporting a united party in the fall.

Pundants and other "party" officials obviously do not understand the concept that the AMERICAN VOTERS are encouraged to see someone fight to the end! THAT is what Americans want as a leader, not a pacifist appeaser (Obama). WE want someone who WILL NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL IT IS REALLY OVER.

There are still those who believed that the Dems gave up too early in the fight in 2000 (recount). WE don't need, nor do we want any more WIMPS! Hillary has shown that she is a fighter and a true fighter does not give up jsut when she is REALLY WINNING.

The Party officials (DEAN, Pelosi, Reid, etc..) want this to be smooth and painless. Well to quote Howard Dean (and he would know) "SOMETIMES IT IS UGLY, BUT IT IS DEMOCRACY!" THE FIGHT MUST CONTINUE BECAUSE IT IS WHAT IT RIGHT!

What happened on Sat. with the "fuzzy math" of allocation (reallocation) of the delegates from Michgan is a severe abhoration to democracy. If the 'officials' push to quiet the 'little lady' they will see a landslide of Clinton supporters jump ship to vote for the next best reliable candidate – John McCain! This is a FACT! Wake up DNC!

It's getting quite pathetic, watching her flounder like a fish out of water. Like trying to explain to a child that they didn't win.

"But I wanted to win, mommy!"

"I'm sorry honey...but you did very well. And you can try harder next time."

Only in this case, there should NEVER be a next time. The DNC should not allow Hillary to ever run as a Democrat again. She spit in the face of the party consistently throughout the primaries...even as they offered a compromise on Florida and Michigan (that should have never been offered to begin with. They cheated. They were told their delegates wouldn't count. The DNC stripped itself of any authority by breaking their own rules.) And she's still complaining.

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

Clinton should follow the path of Al Gore in 2000, whose concern for the good of our country overcame any personal ambitions.

Its time for Hillary to give it up.
If the popular vote won elections then Gore would have been President.
Too long has the White House been controlled by two families.
I hope she will be a supportive force behind Obama.

The Democratic party will come together. Both fought hard and it is only fitting that when one acheives the 2118 goal that the other candidate should back him or her. I believe that Senator Obama has earned the nominee and the party must rally around him.

Dem 08/12

It's time for Hillary to demonstrate whether she cares more about herself and her personal ambitions than she does about the Democratic party, and even more important, about the country itself.

This isn't about her as much as it is the need to get past George Bush and even John McCain. Hillary can prevent us from moving on, or she can join us in pursuit of the greater cause.

FL delegates were seated based on a unofficial primary. A compromise was reached on the MI delegates (Some may argue about 4 delegates) based on a primary where Obama took his name off the ballot.

Some may say this should have been done earlier then Hillary would have had the momentum. Some may say the media should have spoke about Rev Wright before Iowa caususes and hillary could have won. Some may say Hillary is still the stronger candidate even though Obama ran a better campaign. Some will simply say he should have waited his turn.

I say thank you Hillary for running a hard fought campaign. i say everybody else should do the same.

JULY 4 = INDEPENDENCE DAY FROM THE CLINTONS

Thank you sir. She should go now.

Boston will beat LA!!

The lady in the pantsuit needs to tell her supporters she lost and it was no ones fault but her own. The onus is on Clinton to fix the mess she made of our party.

Hillary, it is over.

Okay, I am not bashing Clinton (really, I am not), but with Michigan and Florida being final (They are not going to get the credentials committee to do anything, not when even her supporters at the DNC meeting thought the delegate split was fair), and with Obama being likely to pull in more superdelegates in the next few days, plus the victories he is expected to have in the last few primaries, PLUS her 20 MILLION DOLLAR DEBT, she is not looking like a strong candidate and it is becoming more and more evident when when even her own supporters are beginning to jump ship.

I like her, I do. She is a strong tough campaigner, but she has lost this one on all measurable factors. I hope she goes for VP, but if not, I hope she is willing to be a good campaigner for Barack Obama. If she is behind him, he cannot lose. She needs to stop being a liability and start being a boon to the Democrats.

Obama/Hillary '08

Hillary I respect you for staying on the race until the end, I know that you will support Obama 100% I'm looking fwd to a great campaign to defeat the Republicans....

Is time to UNITE Democrats!!!

Obama 08

Time for Vilsack to start brown nosing Obama I guess. It’s amazing how spineless and slimy all of these politicians are. They say they are supporting Senator Clinton, yet they push for her to get out of the race every chance they get. Well, I hope that they are happy in November. Obama can’t win. Many of us Clinton supporters will not support Obama in the fall and this will help put McCaini over the top. I don’t like McCain, but better him than Obama. It is no longer about Democrat v. Republican. It's about what will be best for our nation. Anything to defeat Obama, he would be a disaster. Senator Clinton needs to leave the Democratic Party and become an independent. The democratic leadership has made it quite obvious that they despise her. Senator Clinton needs to stop raising money for the Democratic Party. The party has treated her horribly. I guess our consolation prize will be watching Obama get ripped to shreds by the Republicans.

She's only won the popular vote by doing Clinton math - omitting certain states, weighting others, leaving out particular caucuses, etc. This is a person we don't want as a leader of the country. Everything is about spin. No wonder she's with "Slick Willie". Very disappointing. I used to really value the Clintons and now I see who they both are and it's pretty grim.

Hillary is the right person at the wrong time. I respect her courage and persistence but if she continues she can only harm. It may be damaging if her supporters bolt from Obama but if the delegates were tossed aside to somehomw get her the nomination by the back door, it would lose the under-25 vote and African Americans for many years.

I hope Hillary will decide to do something out of character and fold her hand for the greater good. Otherwise we will have President McCain and that would not just be bad for the country, it would be devastating. Like Hillary, he could wear the title right person (he was better in '00), wrong time.

Please Senator Clinton. Heed his advice, drop out and put your support (and supporters) behind Senator Obama.

Democrats '08

...thank you Tom Vilsack! Hopefully Hillary will listen, however, I am doubtful. Hillary does indeed need to get quickly behind Barack once the final primaries are over on Tuesday. I appreciate Hillary's wanting everyone to be able to place a vote...but it's over and Barack is clearly the nominee.

OBAMA 08/12 !!!!

She did win the popular vote. Of course not playing by the rules helped. She is more republican every day.

Great news, it is about time common sense prevails.

Nice Guy – great supporter – again a big set up – Hillary was framed.

More importantly, the voters say it's over, Hillary!

Mrs Clinton has achieved a lot so far; she has definitely done a terrific job. Having said that... the FACTS are the FACTS and Obama is out of her reach and she is either on denial or trying to fool America. Nothing more pathetic than a bad loser and adult tantrums (in either males or females). What is more important for her at this important: the country, the democratic party or herself? Is this a typical case of greed-for-power-itis? Let go Hillary... the party needs unity, do not make McCain and the republicans look nice.

If Obama is such an electable candidate, why do the Dems keep trying to push Hillary out of the race?

Screw the democratic party and the left wing biased media.

Hillary wins the swing votes. Polls are showing that Hillary can win NC, KY, WV, AR, OH, FL.

Obama is unelectable, but I guess if the left wing media keeps saying that high gas prices will force us moderate dems to vote for him in the general.

Don't bet on it.

Moderates don't want a racist in the White House.

Why don't we discuss how Obama funnelled federal money to Rev. Pflueger's church.

Why don't we discuss Trinity losing it's tax exempt status for preaching politics in the pulpit?

I will never vote Obama for President.

It ain't over til it's over.

And if it's as over as the Obama fans think it is then why press her to get out of the race? It makes no sense, the only reason you tell someone to give up before the end is if you think you have something to lose.

Maybe there's another skeleton or two in the Obama closet that we're not supposed to find out until after the election.

Thanks dude. But she's still in the circle of denial. Unfortunately, this is like a bad break-up and she wants to make him "pay" a little longer.

If it is over for Senator Clinton, it is also over for the Democratic Party... I for one have officially changed my party to Independent and Mr. Obama will NEVER get my vote.

Ah, tomorrow she will accept reality .... i hope ........

YES! This race is almost over and Obama has won!

What will she do after the last primary?

I am waiting to see how much debt her campaign is in!

Hillary is right. She knows why the delegates aresupporting Obahma They know McCaine can winObama, but Mccaine cannot win Hillary. What can we do??? I will not vote for Obama.People forget what Bill Clinton did for us. He was for the poeple. You GO Go GO Hillary!!!! We love you!!!!!!

We may not know when her obituary will be wriiten – but I think it's pretty easy to predict what the epitaph on her tombstone is going to say:

"Hey! Not so fast! The superdelegates can still change their minds!"

everyone knows it but her...

read my name....

I am glad I went camping this weekend. We all knew how this was going to turn out. Sorry HRC, POTUS was not in your cards and we will see how you act come June 4th. Now we must move on and battle the GOP. We will unite if you are a TRUE democrat. The defectors will regert their Mcbush vote, because Obama will be the POTUS with or with out you people. Saturday was a discrace, you did not see Obama's supporters screaming at the DNC rules commitie becuase she got more delegates than he did even though the primary voting was a farse, and it was people. Why is the queen allowed to "move the goal posts?" I am glad that she will be done. This is getting silly and we need to move on to beating the GOP in the fall. Just the thought of another re-pug in office makes me scared and it should to you too. Let's "get er done" democrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilary continues to argue that she won the popular vote? Does she and her supports not remember a man by the name of Al Gore and the election he lost while winning the popular vote?

The system in place is not, and has never been, a win my popular vote system. Does the Democratic Party really need to have that lesson rammed down our throats again? In the primaries you win by delegate count and in the election you will by electoral vote. It is that simple.

Some people might want to call Obama a rules shark for winning that way, but those ARE the rules. If they need to be changed then work within the system to change them, but don't cry foul or asked that they be changed on the fly to change the outcome in your favor.

If Hillary does not win the bid than as a woman I will not be voting for Obama. I am tired of men running this country. They have done nothing but distroy it. I believe this is how a lot of women are feeling. I can only speak for myself.

The Clinton supporters may think they are in a unique position in that they insist they will either not vote, or vote McCain if Obama is the nominee.

The fact of the matter is, polling shows the same is true if the nomination is stolen from Obama.

Do you really think, that the 17,000,000+ voters who voted for Obama to make him the leader by FAR, will vote for Clinton if they decide to give her the nomination even though she didn't really win?

You just don't hear from them because we wont have to deal with that scenario because Obama is going to be the nominee.

Don't threaten the party to give in to your "demands" to give the nomination to the runner up or else you will vote for someone else.

What is with CNN and it's inability to tell the Clinton campaign that their math is flawed in this popular vote theory. You cannot excuse all the caucus states and Michigan and Florida were two states where BOTH candidates agreed not to campaign. What give Hillary Clinton OR her supporters the right to think the rules of the process don't apply to her.

For one moment, I'd like her and her campaign to consider if the situation was reversed and she as in the lead and Obama, Edwards or anyone was hanging on and making a case like this. We'd be calling them delusional. Is it sexist to suggest Hillary has now reached that point? I am a white woman and I am saying it's over. Back Obama or risk the democrats truly failing this November. Or is this Hillary's true intent?

Thank You someone must stand up and show her the door. The only thing that has changed in this race since Feb. 19, 2008 is Barack Obama has increased his delegate lead and overtaken her with super delegates. This race has been over for a long time except for the media's insistence that what was happening was important and could somehow change in her favor. All the personal attacks, character attacks, lies and rumors were and remain unnecessary. Hillary ran a disgraceful campaign for months and did not get any closer to the nomination in fact she got further away and further into debt.

All of the above speaks volumes about the process. It works to sort out the wheat from the chafe.

Hillary will be holding her election night "celebration" this tuesday in NYC. But frankly, it won't matter if she's conceding or declaring victory... her supporters will only be hearing one thing, no matter what comes out of her mouth: the Kool-Aid speech.

"Let's keep drinking! Let's keep drinking! Let's keep drinking! Let's keep drinking!"

I've been as neutral as I could for as long as I could, but lately it's been obvious that Mrs. Clinton's bid has come to an end.

She needs to 'man up' (pun intended?) and get behind Mr. Obama before they burn themselves–and the Democratic Party as a whole–out. This was an excellent, strong race, but it's over now.

It's never easy between two strong leaders like them.

Sorry Tom ... she only listens to the little voices in her head!

Gov. Tom Vilsack tell those obnoxious female Hillary supporters that its over please.

Those clowns who were interupting the procedings saturday act like someone owes Hillary the nomination. You are not entitled so, stop acting like little spoiled kids. YOU LOST. GET OVER IT.

One more down! Maybe Hillary will finally get over herself and see the light....

Senator Clinton you need to heed the words of people in the real world... Do what is best for the country you claim to love so much..

UNITE..DON'T..FIGHT......

Dear Hillary,

I was really impressed with you, now I'm not. Please do the right thing and stop working against the party. Obama was not my first choice as a candidate, but it is clear he is the peoples choice. Popular vote psuedo-math aside.

Profound grasp ofthe obvious. Clinton lied about Bosnia, didn't do required reading before voting to go to War in Iraq, didn't listen to econimists re gas tax holiday, but then again that scheme only related to period when this summer when bush was still President.

That's Hillary for you – pandering to the poor uneducated illitereate American – and there are lots of them.

The educated, well-read engaged American Democarat who makes an INFORMED CHOICE favours Obama. Such voters dont want Hillary and her REASONS THAT SOUND GOOD. THEY WANT GOOD SOUND REASONS.

Hillary had a huge lead in the polls as of January 1st – but she squandered that lead, much like she squandered health care, education and highway funds and over 4,080 young American lives by ignoring the intelligence report and voting to initiate the war in Iraq.

Hillary didn't do her homework and but still believes she's entitled to be graduate summa cum laude. Barack Obama worked hard and smart. He did his homework and worked hard to EARN the honour to campaign for the Presidency. AND he has told us why he wants to be President of the USA. Now if only the country can afford it!

Mike

....much ado about nothing...

Now will the Hillary supporters come out and say that he is a traitor as well? This is the reality folks, now lets stop fighting and get behind our nominee.

Democrats '08

Go Hillary! we are NOT falling for the Obama trap.

We need more Clinton backers to do the same. Poor Hillary just does not get it. Obama has won the nomination, and will win the presidency unless she keeps dragging this out.

And for you Hillary supporters, who claim they will support McCain. Please. Obama and Clinton have almost identical plans for our country's future. All Democrats and Indpendents needs to unite behind Obama !

Obama / Biden '08 :)

Hillary, if this were a contest for popular vote (which it isn't), you might have a point.
But it isn't.
The winner of the most delegates is the winner of the primary.
Delegates.
Get over it. Rules is rules is rules. Quit being a sore loser.
You should have figured out how NOT to lose 13 consecutive contests in a row back in February.
It's time to call it a day. Stop being so selfish. You're wasting people's money at this point.

But.... But..... But, she has WON the popular Vote! This isn't over Govenor! It isn't over until HilLIARy says it's OVER! She is going to take the democratic party down with her!

What a JOKE this poor useless woman has become!

Just tell the fat lady to sing!

Everyone else realized the fact except Madam Clinton. It is a bitter pill to swallow, but Ms.Clinton has realize the fact and support Obama unconditionally.

Obama is the democratic nominee, and it is time direct all resources to the general election. I am a Clinton supporter, but I support the DNC. I'm upset Clinton will not be the nominee, but I am not insane to vote for McSame in the general election.

I will vote for Obama in the general election.

Hillary won't quit until the Convention votes are tallied in Denver, State by State, as they call the roll. Haven't we learned ANYTHING about the Clintons over the years, that its always ALL about THEM?? Bye Hillary.

I'm waiting to see what the remaining superdelegates do. That might persuade her to suspend or end or campaign. She's got to think about party unity but right now her actions seem to indicate she's just thinking of herself. Democrats unite!

So, now we know ! There is and has been a "Stop Obama" element within the Clinton campaign. Declaring to support McCain instead of Barack Obama in the wake of the proposed DNC compromise, Hillary's supporters have exposed who they really are. The ruses about Obama's lapel pin, what his pastor said, etc. is all code talk for "we're not comfortable voting for a black man". My highest respect is reserved for the W.Virginia voter who openly said as much in a exit poll interview. No one else that I've heard had the guts to come out and say it. Sen. Clinton suggests this every time she speaks lately. I wish someone would explain what, other than his race, is their objection the voting for a person of another race. Black people have had to do it for decades . . .talk about double standards! Wow !

A Clinton supporter using logic? Impossible!

Cheaters to the back of the bus, please.

Even Hillary's political supporters realize that her staying in is only hurting the party. She is willing to lose the election to McCain to spite the party.

Thank you Mr. Vilsack. Apparently, you're a realist.

Enough with this drama. Let's focus on the general election and defeat McBush this November!

It is simple fact, at this point there is no "pushing her out of the race"

It is all over, unless she wins 96% of the remaining delegates and superdelegates then she can't win... She needs 180+ more delegates to win the nomination, Obama needs 40+

She fought a good fight, albeit a little too late in the game.

As excited as her supporters were to have her as the nominee, they have to accept that in a fair contest, she didn't come out the winner.

It is all over, and now we can focus on the general election.

Yes, it WAS over ( a while ago) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even Sen. Clinton's strongest supporters are facing reality. I am a strong Obama supporter and I think the most important thing for us to do is unite and take back the White House. I live on a very fixed income and am a widow with two children in college. At this point, I think Sen. Clinton should be offered the vice presidency and that everyone would benefit from coming together. Sen. Obama would benefit from Bill's past experience, and Sen Obama would surely serve to bring a new era of politics into play which would benefit us all. I cannot afford for the Republicans to win again. I am barely making ends meet. Divided, we all lose!

As usual clinton is delusional

Senator Clinton it's time to bow out graciously. We all know you are a fighter but when you have your elbows on the ground the fight is over. We all recognize your great battle and admire you but it comes a time in anyone life to surrender. Thank you Senator I believe you will do the right thing

She is singing. The winner takes it all the loser standing small.

I am bowing out. Don't need a second chance.

It was a pleasure but we've all got to face the facts oneday.

He is the best he is good. Well organized, young chappy he be.

OBAMA 08

Yes, it certainly is long past time.

WHAT!?? There it is. Slowly people in Clinton's circle are grasping reality. Clinton supporters think there's going to be a fight on the convention floor, but it simply will not happen.

It seems that everyone else aside from Mrs. Clinton understands that the race is indeed over and any push to continue to "win" the nomination is only going to be percieved as bad for the democratic party. You cannot win a contest that has rules when the only way to win is to cheat and change already existing rules and guidelines that that the other party has adhered to. Superdeligates, I implore you....please put poor Hillary out of her misery.

HE SHOULD JOIN THE OBAMA TEAM!!!

MORE SUPERS BEHIND OBAMA!!!

OBAMA '8

Hillary......don't give those left wing radical weasels a dang thing. Make them earn every vote and delegate. The Democratic party has treated you like crap for the last year, and you don't owe them or "Mr. Empty Suit" anything.

P.S.... You and Lieberman would make a nice alternative to the party candidates. I think you could run the board as an independent.

She ain't gonna listen! She's obsessed with being president. Don't you get it Tommy boy?

She is still working with the Clintonian Maths. By the time she realise that the math has errors, Obama will be in the White House receiving her as guest.
She better go for a grade 5 pupil to help her with simple arithmetic, not even mathematics.

It's never over. Not when we're talking about Hillary. The woman thinks that the presidency is her birthright and won't stop until she gets her grubby hands on it. Mark my words, she's going to torpedo Obama's chances in November so she can run in 2012 under the mantra of "I told you so"

As an 'Obama Republican' I have mixed feelings about Hillary continuing on to the convention. On the one hand it worries me that she may damage Obama's bid for the white house. On the other hand I'll enjoy watching her destroy her position in the Democratic party.

I doubt she will listen to anything you have to say if it isn't an answer she wants to hear. This is all about Hillary and not the Democratic party.

She's pretty much destroyed her political career in her quest to be first. I would have voted for her as VP to Obama but after everything she's done I won't ever vote for her in any capacity.

Any woman trying to be President again is going to have a difficult time because of how she ran her campaign.

Dear Hillary-

For the sake of this Country...GIVE IT UP! You have lost.

Better luck next time!

Finally someone on her side stopped drinking the Kool-Aid she's been supplying.

No. She has not won the popular vote.

No. She will never get the delegates she needs.

Yes. It's over.

Why is she making this more difficult for herself and everybody else?

Here comes the vitriol for Vilsack.

Hey Hill supporters, I do not care how many times she or you say it. She is not winning the popular vote. Period.

HILLARY IS NOT WINNING THE POPULAR VOTE. IT IS A LIE. SHE IS MANIPULATING THE RULES OF A GAME EVERYONE COMMITTED TO IN THE BEGINNING. THE MI AND FL DECISION, JUST PROVES THAT IF A WOMAN WHINES ENOUGH, MEN WILL GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT. SHE COMMITTED TO THE RULES, AND THEN SAID, I DON'T LIKE THESE RULES, WAHHHHHH!!!!!! YOU ARE BEING MEAN TO ME BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN.

She is setting back the womans movement decades.

When other people weren't on the ballot, you can't claim you "won" the popular vote in those states, but nice spin...

Vilsack, how much did Obama's people pay you to say this?

She must not be able to read the writing on the wall that has been there for a long long time .
Tired of lies and nasty slams Bosnia nonsence .

You are a McCain Republican and that is no joke when are you coming out of the closet ?

Go Away McHil -liar just leave but be sure and take Hothead Bill with you.

Good sense prevails! Let us hope Hillary gets some. Time to fight the republicans!!!

Hillary needs an intervention.

Maybe if Hillary had followed thru with the gas tax repeal...

I don't find it too surprising that there is a website called democratsagainstobama that brings up more than a few questions about Obama that the press and the public in general turned a blind eye to. When you put them all together, you get a picture that's more than a little disturbing. And the Iowa governor wants to overlook this stuff as well? hmmm

Hundreds of MILLIONS of American know this. HILLARY DOESN'T CARE!!!!

Why aren't her supporters from CAUCAS States FURIOUS with this Woman!?

She has said to ALL of her supporters in Smaller states AND Caucas States that they are meaningless and she values ( AND COUNTS) The Votes from NON state NON Citizen and NON Tax Paying PR MORE than them!!

Are her supporters not smart enough to see this OR do they care that they back a person who dumps them in the trash after they vote???

Sen Clinton should leave the New Black Liberation Party and run as an independent.

Take the mans advice Hillary, to drag this thing out any further is just plain selfish. And to all of you women out there whinning because you just want to see a woman president, give it a rest, will you?. There are some real important issues that need to be taken care of.

Take it to floor if you have to Hillary!

We the people have spoken!

And if the Super Delegates are smart and want to win in November with their Lifelong base in place, they will listen to the Will of the people!

If the will of the people is ignored….

I will be registering as a Republican and working the phone banks and donating all my disposable income to see that a qualified candidate is elected to our Highest Office!

Hillary 08

Finnally Tom you grew some, HRC needs to work for our canidate, That person is Barack Obama, she lost fair and square, now show you have at least a little respect HRC and do what you said work to make Barack President. The party is more then you and Bill. It's about the people.

I hope she doesn't help Barack at all. He and Michelle make me sick to my stomach. They get on Good Morning America talking like they have so much respect for Hillary especially Michelle. When recently Barack did his immature brushing off of the shoulder of Hillary, and Michelle says Hillary needs to take care of her own house of the white house. The DNC and barack don't deserve Hillary's help and I don't think they think they need. I hope the democrats house comes falling down.

Of course she won the popular vote when you don't add cacaus states, Obama gets 0 let me write that number again 0 votes in Michigan, Florida obama isn't allowed to campaign because he's following the rules and Clinton gets the popular vote. Give me a break

The Gov. is a wise person. He should throw his support to Obama. I think she will get the message. Besides, I believe that he is one of the few Super Delegates from Iowa that still supports Mrs. Clinton ??

good luck, this evil woman wont listen to ANYONE, not even billy boo, they have so much power ego, can not wait to get back to power, even if teh whole coutnry and world, even vanity fair is saying to them,
that none wants them...
except the bitter supporters, who act like her, ............. who dont care, and who will vot for mcbush..
i said let them join mcbush, \after all they are very similar in policies, although i have to say Mcbush is a bit respectful and he doe snot lie, he might be old, but h e is honest
so she has a better chance to run with mcbush as VP..

What?? A modicum of common sense from the Clinton Camp?? But, will Hillary listen?? Does she ever???? I'm sure hubby Bill will be whispering in her ear to contine campaigning. This is just as much his delusional folly as it is hers. He wants to be as close to the center of world power as possible. Without all the attention, limelight and adulation, I think the Clinton's will wither-up and blow away.

Someone with a common sens of honor.

Clinton declares she's won the popular vote, her former supporters see the destructive path she's taking and now those of us in New York see that she feels that ending her run for President is tantamount to a "political obituary". Regardless of the dream world she's living in, at least she's willing to admit that her role as Senator in New York amounts to nothing in her mind; that's the way it has seemed to me ever since she came here. In a state as Democrat-friendly as New York, I wish she would explain to us ten accomplishments directly attributable to her that have made a positive impact on the people she claims to serve. I can't find half that many. Public service means more than being the first black, the first woman or the first anything; I hope that most voters don't regard those sorts of things as meaningful. It means work, not just claiming that you want to work, or could work if only this, or if only that. Of the three candidates, Clinton seems to be the worst at compromise and that's always going to be a necessary characteristic of a President. If being a Senator from New York is the same as being "politically dead" to her, why did she some here in the first place?

I used to listen to CNN everyday as one of my more reliable news sources. However day after day instead of reading articles about the Democratic nomination and the strait forward contest which I am extremely interested in. I instead read biased articles (like this one) written by someone who obviously does not like Hillary Clinton and basically puts her down. I am not even a supporter of her and I feel sorry for her. Instead of getting actual news I get picked out issues regarding this election that attack her. Do your job and report all the news, not your opinion!

Well he can say that all he wants – superdels better push her out – or side with her – and they'd be smart too. All the delegate math but no one wants to look at the electoral college and how Obama wins without OH, PA, FL, MI. CO and VA are chump change. And, you cannot win OH, PA, FL without doing well in rural areas that are more conservative and that will simply NOT vote for Obama. If he's our nominee I hope he wins, but as some involved in many races, including in Ohio, I don't see him doing it. Word to the wise superdelegates Obama is a McGovern. He's unelectable and that's exactly why superdels are given their role – take the nomination from a far left hijacking through activists at caucuses.

I suspect that by time the West Coast wakes up Wednesday morining that Mr. Obama will have over 2150 delegates and all of Ms. Clinton's chances will be totally dissolved. I agree with Mr. Vilsack, I suspect that Ms. clinton does also but she will not stop campaigning, nor should she, until the number is reached. My only hope is that she campaigns as strongly for Mr. Obama as she did for herself, although with a bit more veracity.

Will someone make sure she is taking her medication.

Hillary's claim to have won the popular vote is like her exagerations of her qualifications to be commander and chief, etc. Apparently, both Clintons have been dishonest with the public, and we are tired of deceit after getting nothing else from elected Republicans.

This is what I don't like. Senator Clinton repeatedly and publicly lauds Senator Obama for declaring a premature victory (which he has not), then pulls this.

It is why I will not support her.

It's being reported that Clinton staff has advised the media to be at her speech in New York on Tuesday night.

Clinton staff has hinted to the advanced media staff they will no longer be needed after Tuesday night.

Within the week, watch for Obama to announce a position for Hillary. It's being reported that it will be Secretary of Health with the goal of Universal Health Care.

Hillary as Secretary of Health
Edwards as Attorney General
Biden as Secretary of State
Richardson ???
Dodd ???

Will one of them be VP? This would continue Obama's cabinet of Rivals, which Lincoln was well known for.

We all wish she do the right thing. The republicans are having a field day out there. We need to start bringing every Dem together and it cannot be achieved while she's still out there telling everybody she is the better candidate to win in November. She's making it increasingly difficult for the Democrats to come together! Do the right thing sweetie!

I knew "The 'Sack" had more sense than that.

The Clinton campaign demonstrates the need for what sports can teach: the team that understands and plays by the rules set down at the beginning of the game, has the best preparation, and comes to the game with the best attitude usually wins. At half-time, the team that is losing does not insist that the rules be changed and does not suggest that if the other team wins something tragic could happen to them. Finally, the team that loses does not hint that they will suit up and try to continue playing the next round with the previous round's winners.

Her strategy will be to take it to the convention to prevent Obama from focusing on a successful General Election campaign in the hopes that McCain will win and she can run again in 2012. Because of this candidate's incredible egoism, our country is likely to be faced with another four years of Bush policy that we cannot afford, morally or economically. But Hillary Clinton could care less about that.

SHE HAS A CHANCE!
IT'S ABOUT THE POPULAR VOTE!

'Thank God, somebody in Hillary's camp that can count!! LOL

Hillary,Why exhaust the process?

Get this right: What was formerly the Democrat Party is not the Black Liberation Party. Clinton doesn't need to be there anyway; she doesn't fit the model.

Why should anyone take the advice of a "loser"?

Stick in there until the blood drains from your fingers and they hoist your shouting butt out of the convention!!!

This illustrates another point that I'm sure the Clintons are aware of. If Hillary stays in the race beyond Tuesday not only will Obama get a vast majority of the remaining super delegates he will also get some of Hilalry's. Most super delegates have political ambition so they will not support Clinton if she doesn't rally behind the party's nominee. The Clintons have 100 million dollars and significant political accomplishments to relish but their super delegate supporters do not.

If Sen. Clinton pursues after Tuesday, then it is clear that she is not thinking about the party but herself. The song says "Know when to hol them and when to fold them" It's time for her fold.

now, if only hillary and her supporters realize this we can get on with the supporting obama for the general election.

CNN – it is election time again and the camera magic on Hillary starts. it is amazing how her sagging jaw disappears and she looks 15 years younger. It always happens on CNN the day before an election, the day of the election, and often, the day after an election.

I have eyes and I see that the media coverage on CNN definitely favors Hillary. Why doesn't CNN report the facts and leave their bias out of the elections?

I agree with former Governor Vilsack because the numbers are just not there. Why do my comments keep getting put in moderation when I am not saying anything controversial or mean?

I will continue to support Hillary Clinton come November. Obama is not my nominee and never will be. It's sad actually, I don't think he has a shot in November and the Dems had this election to win or loose. If they don't think quickly who their stronger candidate is, John McCain will be the next President because MANY, MANY Clinton supporters think he would make a better choice then Obama. I hope the Democrates don't make the HUGE MISTAKE they seem to be about to make in selecting Barack Obama as their nominee. He will not win the White House.

I think he's saying what is going to be heard time and time again over the next couple of days. Hillary really needs to just let it go. Why does she keep saying that she's not quitting? We know she's not quitting. She lost!!!!! The Patriots didn't quit in the Super Bowl, they lost! There is a big difference between quitting and losing.

There will be a race riot that will make Watts look like a BBQ if she STEALS this nomination!!

Yes!!! It's time to wake up to the hard cold facts...it is indeed over and out. Thak you, sen Clinton.

'

'

It ain't over 'til it's over. Why should she listen to the former Governor of an "unimportant" state?

'

Hillary needs to end this soon. Land this plane gently down. HILLARY SUPPORTERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND. MCCAIN IS DIFFERENT FROM HILLARY WHEN IT COMES TO ISSUES. MCCAIN WILL PUT IN CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES IN SUPREME COURT WHICH WILL HURT WOMENS RIGHTS. MOVING BACK THE CLOCK. MY FELLOW DEMS WHO SUPPORT HILLARY DONT JUMP SHIP COME GENERAL ELECTION. WOMEN NEED TO KNOW THEIR RIGHTS WILL BE VIOLATED BY THESE NEO CONS.

Actually – It is long past the time that Hillary should've bowed out gracefully and supportively. She stayed in too long, bitterly dividing the party in two. She ran an ugly campaign.

Clinton should definitely keep on going because she has the momentum, as shown by her having won many more more votes, earned delegates and elections (three by huge margins) in the last three months. At the same time, Obama has kept losing over the last three months. Moreover, Obama will never beat McCain, as he doesn't have the support of the swing states, will be defending himself from all the dirt the Republicans can dig up and throw at him (whereas Clinton couldn't go that negative), and he'll never have the support of most of Clinton supporters no matter what Clinton says to them because her supporters not only suppport her as a candidate, but they don't trust and can't stand the inexperienced, tricky, racist, Obama.

Idont know where Hillary is goin.. this democrat party is just stupid.. end this thing ,we already know who the nominee is... this is so aguivating... this woman is wicked.. she is doin this just to destroy her own party... what such an evil attitude...unbelievable

I'm tired of the TIRED argument that the Clinton camp continues to make about Hillary being the most electable candidate. Will a Hillary supporter please answer the following:

1) If Super Delegates were to elect Hillary based on the popular vote in leiu of the delegate count, which is how nominees are elected, how would she hold on to those 17 milliion Obama voters who would be alienated by such a vote?

The Republicans are disenchanted with John McCain. There are concerns that many Repubs may stay home during the general election and that a good number may even vote for Obama. If she were to be the candidate, she would not get any votes from Repubs and it is believed that Repubs would come out on droves, not to vote for McCain, but cast there vote in opposition of Hillary.

2) Can Hillary really be considered the strongest candidate if she damages her own base by stealing the democratic election and galvanizes the Republican base at the same time?

The MSM is in this more to get ratings than to do real reporting. As a lay person who has watched this election closely, to me it's obvious that the super d's cannot vote to elect Clinton for the two reason mentioned above.

Bad job being an "ardent" supporter Vilsack!
Why should she quickly get behind Obama? Shouldn't he start wooing the Clinton vote on his own merits? Shouldn't he give those 17,000,000 people a reason to vote for him other than "because Hillary says so?"

Hillary is ours chances of getting the white house by staying the
race. This her husband Bill telling her to continue. It is time to
move forward and defeat Mccain.Mccain,have not talk about any
of the issues about ours economy.He only speaking of the war
and foreign policy and we have problem here in america. We to
get him talking local issues this were he is weak.

Why on earth would Hillary want to support Obama and the Democratic Party after how she's been treated!

Hillary is taking her fight to Denver and after that, she will more than likely run independent.

There will be NO UNITY in the Democratic Party. They threw that right out the door when the RBC decided to take away votes Hillary rightfully earned!!

CLINTON
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE 08

Hillary is not a role model but an embarrasment to women. I don't understand her great following. I could never teach cheating, changing the rules and outright lying to my children as a way to get what they want.

well at least in a few days when Obama hits the delegate # it will be.

As a 110% Clinton Supporter – I agree.

Obama/Clinton 2008

One-by-one even Hillary's most ardent supporters, from Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack to Pennslyvania Gov. Ed Rendell, are now publicly stating that Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee.

It is the not pundits or Obama-surrogates that are telling Hillary it's over, but some of her own surrogates.

Hillary needs to give it up! Al Gore won the popular vote in the GENERAL election and wasn't elected. That not how it works and you can't change the process after losing . GO HOME HILLARY!

She's not counting caucus states...well, why should she? That would mean she is certainly NOT winning the popular vote. As someone from a caucus state, I'd like to say, "Thanks Hillary". Keep fighting your own agenda in Florida and Michigan, keep playing fast and loose with the rules...it doesn't matter...you're DONE!

I WONT ARGUE WITH U THERE.

Please Hillary – Unify the party – DON'T DIVIDE US.

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU, IT'S ABOUT USA!!

Thanks for nothing Vilsack, if maybe Hillary would have done well, Obama would have been eliminated.

Anyway, looks he (Obama) will go on. Its time for you to support the democratic movement.

dems 2008

I understand what Gov Vilsack is doing, but let's the last two primaries play out and go from there. Democrats need to come together after that.

This has been the case for a while now. It is just Hillary and her delusional supporters that are in denial. Grow up people. Geez!!!!

I'm glad someone in the Clinton camp has some sense!

Senator Clinton can make all the claims she wants to in ads, even though her campaign is in debt by millions, but the fact is, she cannot win. She knew going into this campaign that the criteria for winning the nomination was pledged delegates not the popular vote. She has tried to change the way a nominee is picked every which way, and still, no matter what, she cannot win.

Senator Clinton needs to get behind Senator Obama after Tuesday's primaries in Montana and South Dakota and help heal the riff she has created with her campaign. There is no shame for her to do that, in fact, that may heal some of the damage she has done to her political career.

Senator Clinton has fought hard and now is the time to step back and move to unite the Democratic Party and beat John McCain in November.

Obama 08, 12

Connecticut State Chair Nancy DiNardo has endorsed Obama. Virginia DNC member Jerome Wiley Segovia has endorsed Obama.
I suppose they agree with Vilsack.

oh, the 2000 election

don't you remember it is the delegates that decide an election.

Do you think that we're stupid?

You're counting 2 states that you won on name alone because Obama didn't run...

You're NOT counting the 12 caucus states that Obama won...

No wonder you appeal to the UNEDUCATED because the rest of us can see through your bullcrap!

Everyone but HIllary supporters understand the DELEGATE COUNT is what nominates a candidate.
Oh, and this is the same system we've been using for the past, what, 30 years? The same one Bill won with.

I betcha she wouldn't quit even if Bill, Chelsea, Gore, and McAuliff (sp) said it was over...

HIllary has a bootleg copy of the CARTER III with Lil Wayne.

The former Govenor is exactly right. I truly hope she does the right thing once the primaries are over. There are millions who want her to continue. What never makes the news is the millions of us who are "Sick to Death" of this fight and more over "Scared to Death" that another Republican President will get elected. I hope someone can get through to Senator Clinton so WE (The American People) don't have to keep going through this homes lost, high gas, lost jobs/incomes economy... Is she really fighting for US? Really?

Haven't we been hearing this for the last couple of months?

As a lifelong Democrat, I cannot believe the mess the party has become.

I will not vote for the Democrat this year simply to vote Democrat, I care too much about the country to let someone like Obama destroy it.

I'm changing over and voting for McCain in November.

Atleast McCain is more like the Democratic Party I used to know.

Finally someone on the Clinton side is making some since. It is time for Clinton to step down for the sake of Her party and for this Nation.

If she was a true American who trusts in the American democratic process she would step down.

All the boys keep trying to kick her out of the race. That's not surprising seeing as how most of them can't and/or won't reconcile themselves to having to answer to a woman. Too ego deflating, I guess.

Obama is unfit to run this country for many reasons, so don't be too surprised when Hillary gets the nomination and wins the GE.

It's time for the Democratic party to take a note from the Beatles and "Come together". Obama picks up 2 more Super delegates this morning, He now needs 44 more delegates to capture the nomination. at least 17 should be picked up in Montana and South Dakota, leaving 27 more supers to pick up. I applaud Hillary and her bid for the presidency. This year made history with two great candidates. Hillary, show us the grace we all know you are so capable of and support the Democratic nominee. Democrats, come together and take Congress, The House of Representitives, and the Presidency.

2008, the year of the Democrat

Who do the people want as our next leader? A naive speechmaker with a mantra, or an experienced, intelligent, savvy politico who knows her way around the White House from inside and out? Who can bring our country back from the abyss of the Bush years and once again bring peace and prosperity to our nation?

In a democracy, it's the people's voice that must be heard and acknowledged. Recent history shows that the candidate with the most popular votes is, and should be, the Party's choice in order to win in November.

Don't count out a true fighter - a believer in listening and responding to the will of the people.

What about the caucus states, Hillary? You can't just ignore 14 states like no one will notice!

lol with your funny math i could be winning in popular votes IF, we dont count any states votes but only my friends. Then i would be leading hilary in popular vote.

What next with this crazy lady lol

Hilary your a abomination, you have run a horrible campagn.

The Queen of Fuzzy Math is at it again.

How can Americans trust a person to make the right decisons at ANY HOUR OF THE DAY OR NIGHT, if she cannot count!

The dire state of her campaign finace is a testament to Clinton's inability to understand simple mathematics.

These a re the Democratic leaders we want. People who are willing to forgo their personal feelings and ambitions for the greater good.

I would urge Clinton supporters to embrace Obama and campaign for him, becasue if they switch to McCain, then I am right in calling them Unpatriotic. Why? Over 70% of all Americans feel the country is doing very badly on all fronts (Economy, War, Jobs, Gas Prices, etc). Supporting McCain is voting to keep the country going down hill, which is as unAmerican as you can get.

The rules say the candidate with the highest delegates win and Obama will get these. Its time we looked at the bigger picture and voted not for our own personal interests or anger, but for the greater good of our country.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OBAMA AND LETS TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK IN NOVEMBER!!!!!!

THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THIS RACE MUST BE ENDED. HILLARY IS DETERMINED TO DESTROY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE WRITING IS IN THE WALL, BARACK IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE.

don't count her out it's not over, i have not heard the fat lady sing

each time they the media count her out she comes up a winner. that the way a winner is they don't she her as a winnerwhen she is.
question ? how come obama has not rap this thing up? answer he cant and he has the indorment of a big loser ted kenndedy, look at the history who he (ted kennedy has indored his losed, history always repeats it self, the same things happens that's what causes it.

The former Gov. is a true Democrat and is only stating the facts – I applaud him! We need more party leaders to stand up and say these words. This was a hard fought race. It is over. Barack Obama won. For anyone to claim anything other than that is just not being accurate. Was the decision by the DNC fair for all on Sat? No. But, the best fair decision would have been to not count the states at all since they both held contests that were not sanctioned by the party. This way, the states do have a voice and, most importantly, the end results were the results that the states themselves wanted.
I hope the Hillary Clinton supporters can end up supporting Obama. In the end. If they are the ones that end up electing John McCain, it will not really affect me since I am a male and have 2 sons. But, it will surely set woman back quite a bit if they give him a chance to seat more conservative judges on the Supreme Court. If they are comfortable with that, that is too bad.

Hillary once again lies, cheats and steals to win. She only has the popular vote is she counts Michigan and fails to count the caucas votes. Where is her 'every vote must count' here? Her supporter's don't read or they believe personal integrity can be compromised for a woman President. Hillary turned this whole election process into a 'girls against the boys' mentality when her race and religion tactics didn't work for her. We will have a woman President one day, one who is not corrupt, one we can be proud to support and have our daughters and granddaughters emulate. Hillary is not that woman.

Hillary is dividing the democratic party.. I used to support her.. Not any more.

She needs to take couple of shots and relax.

What else is new?

THANK YOU Gov. Tom Vilsack!

sheeh!

It is hard to understand the Clintons continuation of distortions,
lies, questionable tactics, and many faces. They have caused
substantial harm to the Democratic Party in their quest to win
at any cost.
How can anyone support these politics as usual?
How can anyone want someone in office who has
no integrity?
How can anyone trust her?
We do not want or need the Clintons in the White House!!
Nor, can our country survive another four years of the
republican party.
Go Obama!!

Yes when your ardent supporters tell you to step down even after you won....(Puerto Rico doesn't even count in the GE) it means its time, to stop the charade and help heal our party and stop dividing it!

I hope the voters are happy now that we have a choice of morons for the job.Now you get what you paid for.

Try living in DC where your vote never counts.............I don't care about Michigan or Florida at this point. Follow the rules Hillary or we'll vote for the Maverick.......

What is wrong with Hillary Clinton that she cannot give this up? It just shows that she is so power hungary, she will do anything to get herself nominated. She should be tired of financing her own campaign and relying on women and racist white men to support her. It's way overdue for Hillary to bow out and realize the majority of the people do not want her in the White House. She is becoming a major joke in this race.

He is not the only one who says its over. Tell this to Clinton and all her hack supporters. This woman is a LIAR and a CHEAT. Only the old and stupid will support her!!!!!

Lose = not winning

Loose = not tight

Get it right you Clinton hacks!

I think this is because in order for Clinton to win the popular vote she must ignore Iowa. I think its sad that 13 states are ignored by her.

She never stood a chance. Then DNC picked Obama a long time ago.

They weren't about to let Hillary win.

Another election stolen.

Now it's McCain or stay home.

It is not over yet.

Millions are hoping Hillary will get the nominee.

Go Hillary!

PARTY UNITY is the last thing on this Woman's mind. Only winning at ANY cost. What a liar and sore loser. Shame on you !!!!!!

Amen Vilsack!

She fought a good fight but it's time to move on!

Let it go already.

Gov. Vilsack is on the frontline of Clinton campaign folks who must ease the way for her departure, an unenviable position for a politician.
It is rather brave of him to speak so candidly. His plain-spokenness would be a useful virtue in a VP.

Would that Sen. Clinton could be equally forthright.

Indeed, Hillary has lost and needs to quickly rally behind Obama and campaign for him. If she does this and stays on the up and up, the Democratic party will take the white house by storm in November.
McCain doesn't have a chance!

Hillary Clinton would rather see the Democrats loose in November than end her selfish quest to bully the superdelegates into giving her the nominee. She believes that she has won the popular vote just as much as she believed that she ducked sniper fire in Bosnia. The deal is, she is trying to anger enough of her supporter to the point that they will believe she is being wronged. This race was over long before now. Hillary loves the sound of her name more than she loves the sound of the entire Democratic party.

The superdelegates are not going to switch to her because they don't know how many states she actually won without the aide of the republicans following the lead of Limbaugh to keep her in the race. I think they played a great role in helping her in Ohio and Texas as well as Indiana. Notice John McCain only started saying a negative things about Sen. Obama after the DNC called Hillary down. He didn't have to because he had Hillary doing his dirty work for him.

I pray that we can unite!!!

Obama 08

If you count Pledged Delegates only, and remove Edwards delegates (which I'm sorry, BO doesn't deserve, Edwards voters went to Hillary), and give Hillary the delegates SHE EARNED in MI and FL, the amount separating them is 74. Out of over 3300 delegates, they are separated by 74. If the media and DNC had done their jobs and vetted BO early on, if the media and DNC hadn't been in the tank for him since LAST YEAR, Hillary Clinton would be the Dems nominee by a wide margin. Instead, the media and the dems chose to treat Hillary like you know what, demean her, call her and Bill racists, belittle the experience she has and the work she has done, allowed BO to basically COPY her policies and ideas, and in doing so, the dems will lose in November. Plus, more actual PEOPLE voted for her in this election, even with all the negative press and misogyny.
