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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

By: Bill

Bill — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:11:13 +0000

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.

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.

Deb from Upstate — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:10:26 +0000

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.

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.

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.

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.

These primaries will go down in history as a fraud. But it probably will help to start a third party.
