Sen. Hillary Clinton trails Obama by 159 delegates and is 201 delegates shy of capturing the nomination.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - After six months and 61 contests, the Democratic primary season finally draws to a close Tuesday, but the big question is whether this historic and at times bitter battle for the party's presidential nomination will also come to a close.

Montana and South Dakota hold primaries Tuesday, but there's much more at stake than just the 31 pledged delegates in those two contests.

Barack Obama is just 42 delegates shy of the 2,118 now needed to clinch the nomination. There are not enough pledged delegates at stake in Montana and South Dakota to put Obama over the top, but a rush of endorsements by the remaining undeclared "superdelegates" could allow him to claim victory when he takes the stage in Minnesota Tuesday evening.

I used to defend the democratic party among my republican friends when they insisted that the democratic party was ran by idiots. After watching the DNC performance last Friday, I agreed with my friends. Senator Clinton is too good to belong to this party; She should start a third one. Here is my prediction if senator Clinton does not accept to be the VP, and I hope that she does not accept: Women, Hispanics, and blue color workers will not vote for senator Obama, period. Senator Mc Cain will be the next president of the US. The fact that senator Clinton’s supporters will not vote for senator Obama, is not for lack of intelligence as one of your bias “ Analysts” mentioned; it is a matter of justice and principal

DemocracyNow2008   June 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

As an Obama Democrat I cannot support Hillary Clinton as a V.P. at all on your ticket.

To the Obama Campaign please look at other Democrats for the V.P Slot.

If we pick a Women I am all for that just not Hillary.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas would be a great choice for VP.

I sure their are other Democratic Women in our Party that would be good as VP.

Just not Hillary Clinton.

My other choices would be Bill Richardson of New Mexico

Senator Barbara Boxer of California who voted against the Iraq war in 2002 when Clinton enabled Bush at the time another great choice.

We can win without Clinton as the VP .

The media keeps pushing this and the Democrats for Obama do not want this at all .

I do not trust the Clintons .If we are the campaign of Change and Hope then it has to be with the Clintons in the Whitehouse

David, Silver Spring, MD   June 3rd, 2008 11:07 am ET

I just wished I lived in a country where people would honestly try to do the right thing; that they would take these elections seriously instead of trying to smear one candidate or the other.

I hope with President Obama we'll begin to move in that direction, and will put logical argument ahead of cheap plays to the emotion and disingenuous outrage.

Obama was winning it fair and square in an honest, straightforward race. Until it became apparent that he really might win the whole thing. Once March rolled around, this thing turned ugly in a hurry. Remember Hillary, "Shame on you, Barack Obama!" Yeah, right.

dj   June 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

I agree I hope that Obammmaa does not ever dare to ask Hillary to be his VP. She is far to good for VP. The long a sad truth of Obammaa being the Nominee for President.. He CANNOT win against McCain.. I can name forty people that if he is the nomniee they are etiher not going to vote or they will vote for McCain.. And, I agree.. And we are not the only ones that feel like this. I'm not real sure exactly what real change Obammaa thinks he can do..I'm also not real sure why Americans trust anything he says.. Those people will be sorry. Very sorry..

katiec   June 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

It has been a hard fought race. Now it is tiime for the Democratic Party to unite and support all Democrats running for office.
To vote any republican into office is saying you support what
they hav e done to our country.
How can ANYONE so that??

Jim   June 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

AP: Officials say Hillary Clinton will acknowledge tonight that Barack Obama has the delegates for the Democratic presidential nomination

Mary   June 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

If Hillary Clinton is not the nominee, LLLL will freeze over before I would vote for that Socialist sleaze OBAMA.
All my family and friends feel the same way.. The Democrates just lost the election. I have no respect for the party.

Justme WV   June 3rd, 2008 11:06 am ET

Tonight will make American history...Our Democratic Nominee for President of the United States of America, Sen Barack Obama and he happens to be Black. God Bless America!

I realize that this man is also half White, but sadly in this country a person is called by his complexion.

Hillary has won the popular vote,even though her main core was disenfranchised. That's quite an accomplishment! Now lets see if the Super-delegates agree that Obama is loosing white support due to the Rev.'s ....................everything since Tx has sent a strong message to them......Are they listening to the people? Or are they listening to someone else?

MD Democrat   June 3rd, 2008 11:05 am ET

For the sake of this country, we better hope not. Hillary is the only one who can turn things around. People need to wake up and that fact that black people have been blinded by the color of Obama's skin is sad. Oh yeah I am black and I voted for Hillary as did many others. The majority of african americans are turning a blind eye to the work that the Clinton's have done for us during Bill's presidency. They even went so far as to say that he was the first black president. Remember that? Short memory foks, short memory.

I just read the breaking news, thank you HIllary for a great campaign! I'm a stronger supporter of yours, in my book you are the winner and you will always be, I respect you for what you stand for! And as Hillary Clinton supporter and as a Democrat on Nov I'm going to vote for Obama, I know that Hillary is going to fight to the end for Democrats to win the White House!!

Looks like she could not pursuade enough superdelegates to run over to her!

GO O.O..O..O..O..OBAMA '08

This is probably something difficult for him and many of you at CNN to understand with the exception of a few true professional journalists like Larry King, Lou Dobbs and Candy. Bill Clinton is right with the comments he made.

OH   June 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Give Hillary some level of gratitude; she worked her heart out, she did not expect to be upended and planned badly. She thought she had the nomination wraped up even before it began.

She spent lavishly or aircrafts, hotels, food and high power staff and they steared her badly.

Her job is unfinished because she needs to get the hard working- hard working white people to vote for DEM in the election.

She cut herself badly with her negative statements but now she must go back to the same people and convince them to vote for Obama.

It would have been nice if she kept the arguments base on experience and what her direction would be instead of saying only her and McCain was qualified to be President.

How does she expect to put humpty back together again?

Tim   June 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

In the true American spirit of perseverance, I honestly hope Hillary continues to fight for her right to run her campaign all the way up to the end of the convention. I don't support her candidacy, but I greatly respect her diligence and message. I'd rather see her running against McCain solely for the debates and discussions that would ensue. Obama is just too naive and oversimplifies the issues. The Republicans are going to devour him prior to November.

Joe   June 3rd, 2008 11:03 am ET

Have fun with Obama, you Obamabots.

Because, as a Hillary suporter, I will be voting for McCain. Obama is a charade....all talk and no substance.

How can he unite the country if he can't even unite his own party?!

Obama is a disaster for the DNC and will lose in November.

I truely hope evey Hillary supporter doesn't just give in this easy. He stole the election from her because she is a woman. You must write her in when you vote for president!!!!!

pam Eugene OR   June 3rd, 2008 11:01 am ET

Please Barack, no Clinton on your ticket. It won't stop me from voting for you but I won't be happy. After all Hillary has done she should not be rewarded.

I agree, republicans are for financially well off individuals. Bush has proven that, fattening his own pockets for retirement with his investments in oil. How stupid have we been going to war and making the price of oil go sky high, he can't be in office any more so he's filling the pot to the brim with oil money. Obama may win with the delegates, but American has spoken, Hillary has the popular vote. If the democratic party picks Obama, they will loose the election to Mccain, only Hillary can defeat him for the democratic party. And as a strong democrat she knows that, and that is one reason she is hanging in there till the very last. Remember how everyone jumped the fence and voted for Bush and is now regretting it big time. Well, thats what will happen with Obama, he is too green, he has not the experience an is always saying things he can't back up. Alot of people will vote the alternate this time. And who does that hurt?

Ohio   June 3rd, 2008 10:59 am ET

Hopefully it will be soon....but has the damage been to great? The real questions is...can Obama retake white Mommy Van America back? It seems they have all flocked to Washington with their fanny packs.

THIS GOES TO DEMOCRATS WHO ARE CLAIMING THEIR SUPPORT FOR MC CAIN IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE. THINK TWICE BECAUSE IF THAT HAPPEN BE SURE THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE A DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE BECAUSE MY PEOPLE WILL SWITCH FOR REPUBLICAN FOR THE REST OF OUR LIFE. THINK DEEP MY FRIENDS. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CONSEQUENCES

Ann   June 3rd, 2008 10:59 am ET

If we can't have Hillary (someone with the experience and intelligence to run this country) then let's get SHIRLEY Q LIQUOR AND WATUSI JENKINS instead of Obama. At least we could trust her! And she probably knows more about foreign policy...and her friends are not radicals.....they are just hilarious!

Remember!   June 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

Before you continue with your vile and biased attacks on the Clintons, remember that because of the Clintons, Obama today has the political opportunity to run.

• Clinton took race off the table by successfully building a coalition of blacks and whites .
• Clinton tackled racial issues such as crime and welfare.
• He made it clear that people who don't work won't get much help from Washington.
• In 1988, crime was the biggest issue in the campaign. Today only 1% of Americans feel that way.
• Clinton’s proposal for 100,000 new cops helped bring down the crime rate.
• No one even knows what Obama's position on the death penalty is. And because Clinton embraced it then, Obama now doesn't have to.
• Above all, Clinton restored the Democratic Party's reputation for economic management, which Carter nearly destroyed.
AND THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS!

Remember that as you try to portray Obama the new “Wunderkind!”

And YES - I include Hillary when I talk about Bill Clinton. Because she most definitely played a huge role in Bill Clinton's presidency. In fact, I believe she was the inspiration for most of Bill's successes. She is a woman who is smart, committed, courageous - and can take it as well as any man - MY kind of woman!

Jeremy   June 3rd, 2008 10:58 am ET

And the top story is another black person coming out in support of Obama.....wow, really? Never saw that coming. The Obama team seems to actually have it both ways, if you're black you support him because he's black, if you're white you have to support him or you're a racist. Now Clinton is trying the same thing with sexism. Don't get me wrong, I don't like McBush either, but I'm sick of these two pretending to be "of the people" when either one will do anything and say anything for power.

Clinton's best chance is the truth about Obama. Let them dig up a few more people he has been "almost family" with for decades that he now has to put down because they are anti-white racists or anti-American extremists, and he won't stand a chance in November. It's time for his supporters to realize this isn't David Palmer, and for everyone to realize none of these 3 will represent anyone but their big financial contributors.

As for the Dem's candidate, that will not be decided by popular vote no matter which states are included; it will be decided by the Dem elites, aka the "super"delegates, there to make sure the Party elite will is done no matter how the people vote. At this point, if Obama wins, some Hillary supporters will vote for McCain. If Hillary wins, Obama supporters will feel robbed and either not vote, or vote for McCain. Thier comments are not about politics, but personal. They are ruining eachother.

ner   June 3rd, 2008 10:57 am ET

The panels decision to give all the undecided and or uncommitted MIchigan voter is outrageous, the decision is bias to OBAMA.

How can they do that, undecide and or uncommitted can be for any candidate and should therefore divided equally to each candidate.

Cinton should have 55% +10%, OBAMA 10%, Kucinich 4% + 10%, Gravel 10%.

Delegate should be Clinton 41, Obama 9, Kucinich 7 , Gravel 7

HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN THIS IS A PANEL BLUNDER.....

susie   June 3rd, 2008 10:57 am ET

I am so disgusted with the way the Democrats ran this election that I don't think I will ever vote for them again. How could an unknown (Obama) even run as a nominee? His friends show a lot of what type of person he is. It will be scary if he becomes the President, as he is always flip-flopping.

James Branham   June 3rd, 2008 10:56 am ET

Now that the campaign is about over maybe we can start to concentrate on some of the more immediate problems concerning us. Oil prices being driven up by speculators. This seems to be a problem that that we the people could make an immediate impact on. Consider this. If every person that owns stock, wheter it be in a 401 K or individual stock plan, should sell or instruct their brokers to sell all stocks or commodities then the oil stocks would immediately start to fall and the speculators would be forced to move their money to something more profitable. With the speculators out of the oil business you would see the price of crude tumble and the price at the pump would tumble as well. We don't need regulation for something we the people can control ourselves. If everyone would do this, you will see $ 2.00 a gallon gas faster than you could imagine. It's up to us to take back our country.

Hector   June 3rd, 2008 10:56 am ET

Although I think Hillary Clinton is an extraordinary capable woman, a real fighter, I do not think Obama should pick her up in the Democratic ticket.
Ms. Clinton once proposed Obama the VP candidate position and a couple of days later she said Obama was not qualified for the job. That was an immature movement that demonstrated that Ms. Clinton's goal is to grab more power rather than fight for real change for America.
I used to be a Clinton fan but when I saw her lies about her visit to Bosnia, her sudden temper changes, her mocking the beliefs for change of other people and her husband's interventions, I realized Obama was a much better choice.

Needless to say both Obama and Clinton would be a much better president than the republican nominee.

SW,OH   June 3rd, 2008 10:55 am ET

This is such a bummer! I really wanted to see Hillary be our nominee.This forces me to do what I have been dreading, voting for McCain. But it is for the BEST. I just can't vote for a FAKE! I knew all along that race would have no impact but never thought gender could play such a role. We're all here because of a certain woman in our lives. The media has played a big part in this mess. Afraid of being racist but not sexist.

Ann   June 3rd, 2008 10:55 am ET

ABSOLUTELY NOT....IT IS NOT OVER...SILLY QUESTION....HILLARY HASN'T BEEN TO THE CONVENTION YET...some people are a little slow in getting what you say...happens a lot with Obama people I've noticed.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:53 am ET

Mikey: God will have to bless this country after Obama brings it down to a disaster, and a disaster like you never seen it before. He is the dumbest of the dumb for a Harvard graduate. Wanting to sit down and talk terms with Hamas and the leader of Iran. Hamas and that leader can throw rings around Obama when it comes to being educated. First of all, he wouldn't know what to say to them, he would need a backup. Bill Clinton and George Bush would know what to do because they have ten times the experience of Obama. Who would help him in the white house? Richardson, Kerry, Kennedy? He would need one of them to get started. All three of them are back stabbers but the old saying is what you do to someone else you get back double. And it already started.

All of you that say that you will vote for McCain if your candidate is not the nominee…think about what you're saying!! Sure you may dislike some of the statements written on this blog…statements from people you don't know and don't know you. But are you seriously ready to give another 4 years to policies that have put the U.S. in economic shambles. Clinton's and Obama's stances on many of the issues that concern the American citizen are more similar than anything McCain will produce.

I would just implore that you really think about the choice that you're making for yourself…for your children….for your grandchildren..is this truly how we want to remember ourselves. It's one thing to vote for McCain if you truly support his agenda, but just because your candidate of choice didn't get the nomination or just out of spite…are we really that immature?? We have an awesome opportunity set before us…the first woman President or the first black President, two candidates that can bring a fresh look to American politics….and we're ready to dismiss that because someone on a blog said some mean stuff….

Intelligence? Surely you jest. Hillary is not intelligent. If she were intelligent she would have divorced Bill in Arkansas. If she were intelligent she would have known that dirty politics are wrong and that cheaters never win (or shouldn't) If she were intelligent she wouldn't have voted for the war. If she were intelligent she would have put the country before her own self agrandizing interest. If she were intelligent she wouldn't have told blatant lies about her "experience"
Intelligent? Not!

Jim   June 3rd, 2008 10:50 am ET

Whatever happened to the popular vote? I thought the superdelegates were going with the will of the people. I hope they do not rush to a hasty decision and pull defeat from the jaws of victory.

NoHillary   June 3rd, 2008 10:49 am ET

After looking back at the past year of campaiging, Obama's campaign looks emaculate compared to Clinton's. She seemed desperate at every step of the way, which brought out her bad side at every turn. It's probably not the way she planned on running it, but she always seemed to be playing catch-up and had to resort to a negative campaign. This produced a negative image of her that I don't think is accurate, but cest l'avis, this is politics. She did not adapt and overcome. Now she is looking at coming in second, and this she must face alone. If she want to ensure that she has a future in politics, she should bow out of the race and act in the best interests of the country, and not her own private ambitions.

MovingOn   June 3rd, 2008 10:49 am ET

Clinton supporters need to suck it up. Obama ran a great campaign and blindsided Clinton who thought she would stroll into the nomination, very smart on his part. She lost by the rules that were set in place before the contest began. Although I have been ashamed of my country's chosen path for 8 years I am getting so sick of the "I'll take my ball and go home" attitude of the Democrats who lost. Either get behind your nominee or forget about the White House for 8 years. It's easy to say you are voting McCain because Clinton lost a close race but put the shoe on the other foot. Clinton CANNOT win without Obama supporters either, it goes both ways.

Grow Up!

Can CNN provide an analysis of the super delegates tonight during your broadcast. It would be interesting to see a breakdown by age, race and gender. Then an analysis of how they pledged their vote by these groups.

Roofin Reality, Houston, Tx.   June 3rd, 2008 10:48 am ET

Robert in TOronto at 9:20,
you failed to put the b clause in. Yes, the b clause,
That is, not only will Senator Clinton be considered a pariah in her own party, and not only will she go into retirement with millions (perhaps as much as $80 in the bank), but ALSO
B Clause we'll all still be stuck with the poor decision of going with Senator McCain and his
1) judge appointments in the likes of Alito, Roberts, Scalia, Thomas who will serve a lifetime, perhaps as long as 30 years. Yes, those types of judges who believe in very limited women's reproductive rights (Roe v. Wade); infringement on civil liberties (illegal wiretaps)
2) lobbyists running his administration like former Senator Phill Gramm who works for UBS, the same UBS that was against mortgage relief for the common homeowner (hows your adjustable mortgage working out right now in face of foreclosure)
3) continued obsession with the war in Iraq where we're still spending $10 billion per month on an unecessary war. (middle east is no more stable and because of that our gas prices are now at $4/gallon, more than twice than what it was a year ago.) Hey President Bush, with all due respect for the office you hold, thanks a lot.

So, Robert, make sure you do the readers a complete service and give them all of the info, not just the A clause.

"The Great Elephant Is Wounded"-Kareem From Hampton, Va   June 3rd, 2008 10:48 am ET

Paddy,

We dont need that! Hillary is NOT a victim of sexism! She has set the tone for this entire campaign season! Every place she named a battle ground became a battle ground! Every bar she set..became the bar! Every issue she raised...was the issue! She was out campaigned plan and simple! Obama DID NOT start winning until AFTER Super Tuesday the date her campaign managers arrogantly thought this would all be over! She isnt a victim of sexism...this is a clear case of pride before the fall! Thats a tale as told as time! The quicker we can grow up and accept it the quicker we can make our candidates proud of what they did! Do you honestly thinkn Hillary wants us divided? If you do, you dont know Hillary and your support of her is a farce!!

Let's Hope So   June 3rd, 2008 10:47 am ET

Hillary you had a tremendous amount of help in losing this nomination. #1 your campaign manager is a jerk...#2 Billy Boy was out making stupid statements and criticizing Obama. And for all those who say they are democrats and will vote for McSame go ahead you were never going to vote for a democrat anyway...

Pistoff   June 3rd, 2008 10:47 am ET

This whole system is pathetic ... if the supers don't know by now, they have no business being supers. The nomination should be decided on the popular vote alone and all primaries held on the same day.

I heard today that Dems spent $128 million on tv adds ... what a pathetic and disgusting waste of money. That $18 mil would have been a start at healthcare in America. Puke.

Are there any adults out there?????   June 3rd, 2008 10:47 am ET

All of you that say that you will vote for McCain if your candidate is not the nominee...think about what you're saying!! Sure you may dislike some of the statements written on this blog...statements from people you don't know and don't know you. But are you seriously ready to give another 4 years to policies that have put the U.S. in economic shambles. Clinton's and Obama's stances on many of the issues that concern the American citizen are more similar than anything McCain will produce.

I would just implore that you really think about the choice that you're making for yourself...for your children....for your grandchildren..is this truly how we want to remember ourselves. It's one thing to vote for McCain if you truly support his agenda, but just because your candidate of choice didn't get the nomination or just out of spite...are we really that immature?? We have an awesome opportunity set before us...the first woman President or the first black President, two candidates that can bring a fresh look to American politics....and we're ready to dismiss that because someone on a blog said some mean

Kelly, PA   June 3rd, 2008 10:47 am ET

It's quite unfortunate that Michigan and Florida broke the rules to incite so much discord in the party. I taught my children that your wrong actions will always adversely impact someone innocent and apparently FLA. and MICH's public servants didn't understand this concept. Neither Clinton or Obama is to blame for the irresponsible actions of the Democratic party in those two states and because of their actions so many Clinton supporters blame the DNC for trying to give a fair ruling given the original rules of throwing out all the delegates. The bottom line is It was unfair to both candidates.
However, it would be a travesty for Florida Dems to rebel and give the election to McCain when apparently that was the Floridian Republican's strategy to begin with. I hope my fellow democrats would allow outsiders to break up the family. I hope we are all smarter than that! I was once a Clinton supporter who has decided to fully support Barack Obama because I'm not so foolist to even entertain the thought of putting McCain in office along with his screwed up policies of catering to the rich and sending out young people off to war unnecessary. Period.

OM, OM, OM, OBAMA MAY WIN THE BATTLE (NOMINATION) BUT HE WILL LOSE THE WAR (PRESIDENCY) OM

Obama 08: 60 , female, White   June 3rd, 2008 10:46 am ET

Clinton ran her campaign in the red and estimates are that she is over $ 40 Million dollars in debt and negotiating how this will be paid off. Not much integrity her and she wants to be Obama' VP??

I hope her supporters who encouraged her to stay in the race are writing their cheques to hillary.com.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:45 am ET

evelyn: What makes you think the battleground state are going to vote for Obama. They didn't want him in the first place and if all of Hillary's voters write her in as an independent, Obama will lose the election and that would be the best thing that could ever happen to this country. Or her voters should all vote for McCain to make sure Obama loses. I am a democrat but don't give a darn if they don't make it to the white house. There has been too much wheeling and dealing behind the scenes and Obama is involved in that also. Obama has been underhanded from his college days and is experienced in playing dirty pool. If I was Hillary I would run as an independent to punish all of them. Who cares if the democrats lose.

Randy M   June 3rd, 2008 10:44 am ET

I'm so tired of hearing how qualified Hillary is. What as she done? She was a corporate lawyer, a governor's wife, a first lady (without sniper fire) and a junior senator from a state she never lived in. And unless you live in New York City, you haven't seen anything from Hillary. So somebody, please show me the qualifications. She has her supporters so buffaloed. It proves that if you say soemthing long enough, people believe it to be true.

Mr. Obama, no matter the amount of wrangling she tries, DO NOT offer the VP or any other post of importance. She doesn't deserve it.

Barb from New Salem.   June 3rd, 2008 10:43 am ET

Obama quit Trinity Church for one reason only: to get the white vote–
this is pandering in it's worst form-

If he quit for any other reason, why would he have waited until now when he's seen all this for 20 years??

This man has no values and he will find his equal when he sits down with bin Laden who will eat his lunch.

Lars Larson   June 3rd, 2008 10:43 am ET

Why can't people see what is truly happening? Hillary Clinton and her campaign were never ready for a primary season like this. They figured it would be sewn up because Clinton is a name everyone is familiar with, and people would flock to it without weighing other options.

It didn't happen that way.

Who was Bill Clinton before he became president? Yes, the governor of Arkansas, but what set him apart from the governor's of 49 other states? What had he done on a national level? Bill was a great president and the Clinton campaign trusted that his accomplishments would be remembered and carry Hillary to an easy nomination.

It didn't happen that way.

Instead, some young hotshot from Illinois who had no experience, was too young and too elegant of a speaker shows up and steals the thunder. Who does this guy think he is and doesn't he know that this was Hillary's time? He is young; he can wait eight years. This is the time for Hillary. That was the way it was supposed to be.

It didn't happen that way.

If you don't believe me, google Hillary Clinton and George Stephanopoulos. You will find a quote by Sen. Clinton, informing George that she figured she would have the race sewn up by Super Tuesday, if not before. She gave no credit or merit to anyone else.

That was her biggest mistake. Rule #1 – never underestimate your opponent.

Kelly-Ann Toronto, Canada   June 3rd, 2008 10:43 am ET

I thought weeks ago that I felt this was going to end with Mrs Clinton deciding to end her campaign gracefully before we got to the end.

At this point It is my belief that she will suspend her campaign in hopes of an implosion. This is not the end for her ...it is all or nothing. She is at an age where she is probably considering a quiet retirement if this does not work out. So she has nothing to loose by continuing this divisive nonsense. I do feel the damage has been done and more is possible as she continues on this path. If Mr. Obama does not win on November ...it will not be for lack on trying to play by the rules and with dignity. In my eyes it will be due to Mrs Clinton and her Campaign Machine!

I do however, believe that the Obamas have played a hell of a game (Campaign)! One that should be emulated in future Races. If this were John Edwards or any other conventional candidate that ran such a race ...the commentary would read: "What a Great Example of a Leader!" or " Why can't the Establishment Candidate Clinch the nomination....form Boy Wonder!" (note: I use Boy wonder in the most impressive eluding to Genius way)

Side bar: If she can't control her husbands intentional or un-intentional derailing words on the campaign train. Could she do it if she were in office? Obviously he wears the pants!

MurphyMorseJohnson   June 3rd, 2008 10:43 am ET

If the Democratic Party exercises judicious wisdom, it will move forward with Obama who has accentuated positive reform, not negatives and lies. The problem with the Clintons is that they have been negative and divisive from the get go. Bill Clinton never commanded a true majority of the American electorate. Clinton's wife will do no better. In politics, the name Clinton has become synonymous with derisive, negative, factional, and divisive. The Clintons' experience is too aligned with the establishment–that of the Bush Administration–their integrity too flawed. Again, it's time for the Democratic Party to move on and endorse Obama and his positive agenda.

"The Great Elephant Is Wounded"-Kareem From Hampton, Va   June 3rd, 2008 10:43 am ET

Well, we've come to it at last! The last day of the most historic political event in our lives! To the Obama supporters STOP IT!! Hillary's campaign is just as historical as Obama's and it needs its due respect! THAT IS WHY THE SUPERS ARE WAITING! They dont wanna push Hillary out! They want her to respectfully concede because of the value of her campaign! To all of the Clinton Supporters: STOP IT! Hillary is not taking her fight to Denver! She's smarter than that! Especially with the impact she's made on the party with her run! Do you HONESTLY THINK she will disappear? Its more to government than the White House where she can be just as influential! And for all of you that say that if Hillary isnt on the ticket is going to vote for McCain. Do me a favor..gather as much phlegm in your mouth as you can..find Hillary and spit it in her face! Thats what a vote for McCain will do!! She's running because she wants a DEMOCRAT in office people! If you wanna be mad at anyone...be angry and her campaign managers! THEY are the ones that arrogantly planned the campiagn trail for Hillary and that arrogance lead to the fall! Overall, today is a momentous day! Clinton and Obama has changed the political landscape for ever! I doubt if we will EVER go back to the lackluster primaries we've had before! We all should be proud of our candidates and not whining about the isms and scisms! They deserve to be honored today not torn down furthur! The fight is done..lets unite now and show the republicans that

YES WE CAN....BRING SOLUTIONS!!!!!!!!! '08

i will vote for mccain.

obama's win is a slap in the face to every woman that was more qualified, more experienced and had better ideas only to have some younger unqualified inexperienced jerk to take away our job.

What an amazing weekend. You have Harold "Ickey" on Meet the Press complaigning that "they" did to them what was supposed to be the reverse. He helped write the rules and now they don't help the "entitled" and so "BOO HOO". The Clintons turn every argument around and acuse everyone else of doing what they are doing. If you wonder why we have Bush and his liars running things remember where it started. The permanent campaign was the Clintons. Twist the truth and look squarely into the camera and don't tell the truth..."I did not have.." Well, you know the drill. So in summation – can this shrill, self absorbed woman please leave the stage. Thank you. And now we can all go back to the summer reruns.

My fear is that Hillary (AS ALWAYS), will put her larger-than-life ego above that of Democratic unity.

Unless Hillary were running against Dick Cheney (or Satan), I will never vote for her for any reason. Period!

Texas   June 3rd, 2008 10:40 am ET

I doesn't matter how Hillary decides to move forward, if she wins she will labeled a manipulator of numbers, if she loses and Obama goes on to general election and losses .... Hillary will be blamed for his lose. The media is already writing the script.

Because Obama will not win the general election without her. So Obama supports be prepared come this November.

Hillary Clinton if not elected to be our front runner to in the General election and not selected for VP for general election – should walk away from the DNC and form her own party. She has a following of more than 15 million enough to get her into the White House!!

Why would anyone hang around with a bunch of back stabbers! All these politicians who back up Obama have been bought! The only change they are interested in is the CHANGE in their pockets!

Dianna   June 3rd, 2008 10:39 am ET

No, Hillary's running a sour grapes campaign. She will give lip service to America tonight, but will continue fighting behind the scenes and trying to force Barack into a public opinion corner. He is the person who should decide his VP, not Hillary or anyone else.

I am tired of her games, but this is just the beginning. So America now has a taste of what it's like when a woman runs for the highest office in the land–cattiness. Bring back the good old days, when candidates knew when to concede. Hillary should have a talk with Al Gore, he could teach her a thing or two.

Jenny from Chicago   June 3rd, 2008 10:38 am ET

You know, these Hillary voters have the right idea. The only way to strike back at the DNC is to spit in the face of every ideal Hillary has fought for over her political career by voting for McCain. I mean, who cares about the future of our country anyway?

"Can it be over?" No. It is the primary of eternity. It will continue to the End of Days. What kind of a stupid question is that?

By the way, USA Voter, Obama's name was *not on the ballot*. He did not have the chance to campaign or garner any name recognition. The only fair way for Hillary to get any votes from a non-representative contest in which she was the only person represented is to do it this way. Are you truly that dopey? And outspending was a necessary counter to the well-known fact that name recognition is often how people decide for whom they will vote. Think, people, for God's sake.

Chuck, Democrats United We Stand   June 3rd, 2008 10:38 am ET

No offense, this should have been over long ago. It has nothing to do with anything other that I do not care for the way Hillary has run her campaign, plus I really do not want another Clinton in office.

I hear the SD's are going to give her time to conceed the race today and tomorrow; however, that position in it's self is sexist. IF the situation was reversed no such concession would be given; also, because the SD's do not want to hurt her feelings or cause her to feel ill will. That is way sexist and silly politics. The game is over, let Obama give his speach tonight, let the democratic party have it's night tonight. This is not about her, or about him, it is about the American people and the sooner she and the Clinton team accept the fact that they did not succeed the better for them and the party.

Carrie from South Bend, Ind.   June 3rd, 2008 10:37 am ET

Obama will never last 4 years. Here's the scenario:

1. Obama tries to negotiate with Iran, the Taliban and Al Qaeda,

2. They ask themselves why is he coming to them? It must be because he is losing and wants out,

3. They say why offer anythng to someone who is losing but they will take what he offers,

4. All 3 groups are emboldened by Obama's weakness and begin terrorist attacks in the U.S.,

5. Americans. now surrounded by roadside bombs and suicide bombers in their neighborhoods, demand Congress impeach Obama.

6. He gone.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:37 am ET

Tony: Obama cannot succeed without Hillary because he doesn't have the brains to sit on or a window to throw them out of. He knows the tricks of the trade because he was an attorney for crooked Rezko and played very dirty pool against the woman running against him. He is very underhanded and is in this race for himself only, not for the people white or black and the blacks are going to get a shocker. Obama doesn't go on the southside of Chicago in the black neighborhoods but they were foolish enough to vote for him and he didn't even want to go to Philadelphia. Obama wants to congregate with the wealthy not the poor. He just wants their votes to get in and make history for himself. He will not be a black president, he will be a Mulatto president. Jessie Jackson was the first black candidate to run.

JB   June 3rd, 2008 10:37 am ET

I am sure the American People are ready for a woman....the thing is, Hillary is not that woman. She is nothing short of a spoilt brat and thinks she deserves the presidency. She keeps defending stupid mistakes like the gas tax holiday (which Obama voted sometime in 2002, and accepted was a mistake). We need leaders who will see reason and not succumb to ego.
Give us a humble/down-to-earth/rational woman candidate and America will go for her.

I think HE is a very Smart, Caring and Loving person towards ALL
PEOPLE, He even cares about other Countries. This Man is good;
God Bless You, Barack Obama. You hang-in-there! I know you are
of True Man Of FAITH, God Put You Here to Speak & Love all people.
I am also kinda leaning towards YOU, Yes a Republican for

The race Is going to be VERY interesting.

I just had to write another comment to the "DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN"........ are you nuts??? I can't for one second believe you are Democrats, you are the Rush-the-vote crazies!

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR 100-YEARS-MCCAIN??????????

HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR WITH IRAQ? Don't you SEE the damage that war has done to our nation? THE REAL SECURITY ISSUE IS OUR DEBT! And Bush is asking for more money!

If you, people, choose to vote for McCain I hope you will also take responsibility for the bankrupting of our nation! Take responsibility for the thousands of young soldiers dead, dying, maimed..... and those who tragically take their lives!

58 States for Hillary   June 3rd, 2008 10:35 am ET

Since Sen. Obama can't even be bothered to remember how many of them there are...

This campaign has been the biggest farce I've seen in my lifetime. The great irony is it's an awful lot like the election of GWB, just change the party. Change my &&&, it's the same old game in a different suit.

If anyone seriously thinks that after all that his campaign has done and said, all the condescending and disparaging and hate, Clinton's supporters will blindly fall in line behind Obama in November, they might be hitting the Kool-Aid a little too hard. He's trashed a lot of people in this campaign and I for one hope those chickens come home to roost.

I can't, and won't support him. Not now not ever. What's worse than a politician is one who campaigns by pretending to not be one.

It's OBAMA who has been the frontrunner, the favorite, the darling, the one who can get away with anything. He's not the second coming. He's a radical liberal senator with virtually no experience at anything but running for office, who's shown questionable judgment time and time again. I'm sorry, but I think he would be a disaster as president.

Louise   June 3rd, 2008 10:35 am ET

Thank You Barack for running a clean campaign not attacking Hillary as she has tried to attack you, you continue to rise above her each time. We do not need a whinning woman leading this country, she will not have a wake call at 3:00 in the morning, she will wake us all up because she has push that button because she's a woman and not being treated right.

USA Voter:

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth there. Nobody deserved any delegates from Michigan. They broke the rules and it shouldn't have counted. In an effort to appease Michigan, the committee entertained a solution proposed by the state itself, giving Hillary 69 and Obama 59, and then halved it in the same way they did Florida, and in the same way the Republicans handled things on their end.

It was Michigan leaders who moved up their primary.
It was Michigan leaders who gave delegates to Obama.
It was very lucky and fortunate that anyone got any delegates PERIOD.

Drop your conspiracy theories.

Ohio   June 3rd, 2008 10:35 am ET

All Hail the coronated new president – coronated by CNN, MSNBC Chris Matthews – Obama - all I have to say is I hope you are right – I am beginning to think something is up here – Clinton does have the popular vote – New media and Obama camp have been devisive – well I will vote for Obama as I am a democrate – but if we lose to McCain I will switch to Independent – - He really has no experience though and middle america is not thrilled with him and white woman are not thrilled with him – he has not won one decent race – caucus do not count they are silly – he has not been able to snuff out clinton – hope we all know what we are doing

Cuacus = Peer pressure fest!   June 3rd, 2008 10:34 am ET

Let me get this straight. Obama will not have enough delegates by the end of the day and will depend on supers to put him over the top. Also, the DNC's poor resolution to the michigan and florida crisis by not letting them revote and risking sweeping victories by Clinton in both those states underscoring the incompetence of Obama as a viable candidate. Basically, the supers have given obama the election when an overwhelming majority of people across this country have indicated that they want hillary as nominee. I guess it's okay to steal elections from a woman trying to do what probably no woman in at least 16yrs from now will do. Does anybody vote with their brains anymore. The media's clear bias and drive for a good story have made me a McCain supporter. I will not vote for the lesser of the three candidates much less the most socialistic of the bunch. My children's future is too important.

ricardo   June 3rd, 2008 10:33 am ET

Take it to the convention Hillary. Otherwise we might as well hand the keys over to McCain. I could have gotten behind Obama if it had been a fair fight, but thanks to the Democratic part establishment and media—-it's personal now. Clinton or McCain.
______________________________________________________

If it had been a fair fight? Do you mean the nonstop coverage of Rev. Wright for three weeks with NO mention of the Clinton ties to him? Maybe you are talking about the coverage of Rezko again with no mention of the Clinton ties to Rezco (he has donated MORE to the clinton's than he ever did to Obama, feel free to look it up). Maybe it was the coverage of the peterpaul court case against the Clintons? I get it you are talking about how the DNC stole this contest for her by giving her almost 200 Superdelegates BEFORE the selection started. Or maybe it is the fact that HER campaign manager and several of her supporters were in on making the deal that disenfrancised MI and FL? No i see it is the male bias that has hurt her oyu know all those times tht Obama claimed that it is time for a man to run this government? Or is it the race card you know where Obama DARED to be black and NOT raise the issue until asked about it?

Moronic Clintonistas it is over (finally) tomorrow and then you can all cry how unfair it was that your queen was not crowned and how everyone is unfair to her after all she is just a pootr woman and should not be treated so rough!

All Are Welcome   June 3rd, 2008 10:33 am ET

An Obama/Clinton ticket is NOT a dream ticket, it would be Obama's worst nightmare. Clinton would undermine every positive initiative that Obama would take. And we certainly don't need Bill "Loose Cannon" Clinton to continue on the campaign trail and beyond.
There are plenty of other synergistic VP options for the Obama campaign to choose from.

Charlotte   June 3rd, 2008 10:32 am ET

Obama may be the nominee, he will not be the President. Dukakis was the nominee, Mondale was the nominee, Kerry was the nominee, Gore was the nominee, being the nominee does not guarantee the Presidency. Enjoy your limelight whilst you can.

tj   June 3rd, 2008 10:32 am ET

Obama can win nomination thanks to media & DNC great support but fortunately it's not in DNC power to force moderate democrats to vote for him in GE.
Nothing can force me and my friends who are democrats but think rationally vote for this golden phony boy.
We are not voting for DNC, we are voting for person and we don't trust him

Steve   June 3rd, 2008 10:32 am ET

The only thing Hillary is experienced at is trying to cheat to win. She said don't count the votes in Florida and Michigan since they broke the rules, then turned around and wanted them counted so she could win, what dishonesty and crookedness!!

To Lindsay   June 3rd, 2008 10:31 am ET

Hillary has not been a Democrat since the womb... she was a Republican until she went to college. Just like a Clinton follower to misstate the truth.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:31 am ET

arc: Those that are losing their jobs and their homes is not the fault of Hillary Clinton. You must be drinking the same stuff as USA Voter and Obama. If you don't have enough money for a down payment you shouldn't buy a home or a condo. That's the problem with a lot of young people today they want to be like the rich. A beer pocket and champagne taste. That's too bad. And if they lost their job the company either is layoff worker's or they got fired. Get a grip on life.

Deb   June 3rd, 2008 10:31 am ET

I hope the superdelegates do the right thing and listen to the voice and will of the people!

We want the viable candidate who can beat McCain in the fall and keep 17 million moderate and conservative voters in the Party.

If they ignore the will of the people and select Obama, the party will loose in November and they won't have a base of moderates and conservatives left to rebuild with.

The Democratic Party will be over after today, depending on what they decide.

This is not a "threat" it is a fact. We will not be brushed off a shoulder and told to site in the corner and be quite and vote for a Left wing nut job in training pants.

We love our country too much to let that happen!

Leslie   June 3rd, 2008 10:30 am ET

Obama will still not have the pledged delagates to win tonight and the supers can change their minds. Theres alot that can happen between now and August so Hillary please take it to the convention, I still support you and will write in your name if I have to. The supers are there support a candidate that is ELECTABLE!

Tim from Ohio   June 3rd, 2008 10:30 am ET

Hillary, keep fighting for the nomination. Send a clear message to black people that it is wrong to support Obama only because he is black. You have fought for black people all your life. Hang in there, old friend.

It's time we Democrats start getting ready to WIPE the floor with John McSHAME. He's gotten a free ride from the public and the media, it's time to show his lying side. He's been soooooo busted on his "straight talk express" which we ALL found out he's been lying and has been supported by some SHADY lobbyist. He claimed he didn't know. Yeah right. I think Sen. McCain is just as crooked as his close buddy George Bush, we've seen it first hand. He's not fooling anyone with his "iraq arguments", what a liar!

We all KNOW he voted for a Bush-WAR that was NOT necessary!!

Democrats need to get ready to rumble and bring Sen. McCain's run for the White House to an end QUICKLY and PAINFULLY. HE needs to understand that Americans are NOT going to vote for another REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT!

NOT this time and NOT EVER!!!

CJATrust   June 3rd, 2008 10:29 am ET

Today is past-due time for USA to update our federal Elecion System structure If you agree send me an email, containing your email address.

I drafted the Amendment of the whole to Article V of the USA Constitution establishing each Citizen who have attained voter age equal right to vote, inalienable, equal, universal, that can not be deny or abridge, by the State or the federal goverment, for anyreason whatsoever. Millions of Citizens over 5m can not vote, millions over 42m of Voters can not become a candidate for at least one federal Office, another 32m can not be a candidate for President/VP. Let eliminate the existing Electoral College, elect by the direc vote of the people, and amend the Constitution by direct vote of Citizens Voters not the State Legislatures. Are you in favor, send me an email. Thanks

it's been over for two months now

now can democrats stop fighting each other and focus on grampy?

Nicole in NE   June 3rd, 2008 10:29 am ET

I am so ready for this to be over!

Everyone who is planning on voting for McCan because of the DNC's decision, whould know the TRUTH.

The RNC only gave half delegates as well for a penalty – just thought you should be educated about it!

I know emotions are running very high right now, but I urge everyone to vote Democrat this fall.

Our country cannot afford the same policies it's been drowning in for the last 8 years. It makes me sick to my stomach to think what will be left for future generations if we continue down this same road!

Geo AR   June 3rd, 2008 10:28 am ET

Okay ...for those who look for change...

Ask your self ...What is the change Obama bringing...

Obama is all about words ...nothing more ...

Watch this He will be Toasted by Mccain for sure

c in iowa   June 3rd, 2008 10:28 am ET

The smart move for Hillary is to stay in until the end in the chance that she can get the nomination. If it doesn't work out, she will have successfully sabotaged Obama's chances, and force him to bring her on as V.P. If he doesn't, and McCain wins, she'll be in a prime spot for the next election and can blame the loss on Obama for not having picked her as V.P. It's a win-win situation for her, and it's what most reasonable white voters want. As a nation we have to realize that it's foolish to keep aspiring for candidates that bring us hope. We must instead recognize that we are truly not a democracy that represents the people and instead choose the candidate backed by corporate power– it is the Clinton's that can get things done, even if it is simply policy that the corporate interests are behind. Elect Obama and you will have a candidate who finds himself walled off by the current party elite on both sides. Clinton, at least, knows how to pander to the uneducated voters, but will, for the most part, avoid right-wing radical positions and do a halfway decent job in the presidency because she is not upsetting the old guard.

Proud1of 26% in WV   June 3rd, 2008 10:27 am ET

This race has been over for months and some people just would not admit it .We will see tonight if she is so arrogant as to taint the general election or to admit defeat.I won't vote for a ticket with her on it.

Sean from Ohio   June 3rd, 2008 10:26 am ET

Hillary 08, the electable candidate:

"Oh, and by the way, Hillary has and will retain the lead in the popular vote."
Umm, no, she doesn't. She has conveniently forgotten the caucus states. Don't their votes count?

"No sympathizers to terrorism in the White House… Anyone but OBAMA"

Sympathizer to terrorism? How in the world do you draw that conclusion?

Hillary is the electable candidate? Hillary, the electable candidate? Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning.

ATTEN: ALL HILLARY AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS

we must come together for the good of our great usa and our children.. if ever one will tone the crap down. maybe we can have both candidates on the ticket. i feel long as we bash the two it will just be more impossible. what would be so bad that one would have to vote mcsain, unless you are republican just blogging in the dems. court. i support obama but let us let this go and look to a better future.

LC7196   June 3rd, 2008 10:26 am ET

I really hope and pray that this is over after today so we can move on. I am so very tired of this whole political circus and all of the Clintons. I also hope that Obama does NOT offer HRC the VP slot. I can only hope....

BBB   June 3rd, 2008 10:26 am ET

USA Voter -
Sorry, although in theory I agree... why should he not get some sort of delegates just because HE is the one that (as usual) played by the rules they BOTH agreed to?

I wish I could change the rules in my life as I wished to make things turn out the way I wanted!

larry   June 3rd, 2008 10:25 am ET

Democrats for McCain unite...or go independent Hilary

for Obama   June 3rd, 2008 10:25 am ET

Please, NO HRC for VP. It will be a huge mistake for Obama and the country.

NKC   June 3rd, 2008 10:25 am ET

It's almost over, but the best candidate did not win. I wish we could go back and redo the Feb caucuses; it would be a completely different outcome. The use of caucuses instead of primaries is not fair.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:25 am ET

USA Voter: You must be drinking the same stuff Obama use to drink because your are wrong in you statement. Obama's name was not on the MI ballot therefore he was not entitled to any delegates. But since Dean (loud) Reid (needs a rocking chair) and Nancy (thinks she the power) endorsed Obama and went behind the scenes with the superdelegates to make sure they would not vote for Hillary. It was already stated they did that. You only read what you want to read but you don't want to read the truth. I am sure his drug related drinking friends from college days voted for him. Are you in that category? Are you a racist, anti-american like Obama and his run of the mouth wife? Anyone that votes for Obama cannot be a true American. The battleground states that she won knew the difference between Hillary and Obama that's why they didn't vote for him and WVA and KY stated they would NOT VOTE FOR HIM.

Generation X   June 3rd, 2008 10:24 am ET

Do people really lack of intellectual acuity by posting comments on this message board stating....Clinton/McCain 08'
First, what you are saying is that Clinton would be the President and McCain will be the Vice President. This I guarantee will not happen. Second, Hillary Clinton is not going to support McCain, she is going to support a democrat. Your vote is your vote, do what you want with your vote for whatever reason you feel is important to you. But don't blame Obama for the people on this message board as your decision of YOUR vote. I guarantee you that most Obama supporters do not agree with some of the comments spoken here and is not a reflection of how Obama feels especially. Obama wants to help everyone, even Hillary supporters, McCain supporters, Bush supporters, and even Karl Rove.......well maybe not the latter of the two.

Leon   June 3rd, 2008 10:24 am ET

Please be careful of right wing conservatives who are posting messages on these blogs to encourage Hillary to stay in the race. They would love to see the Democrats divided and have another 4 more years of Bush's failed policies.

Time to defeat the Republicans and restore America's image at home and abroad...

CNN loves Hillary   June 3rd, 2008 10:24 am ET

Update your ticker, he is 37.5 delegates away. Thanks CNN for another picture of HRC instead of the winner!!

BTW, Obama is now leading McCain in the national poll as well 49-44 Gallop.

JfromNC   June 3rd, 2008 10:24 am ET

I am so sick of Clinton supporters who say the DNC stole this from Clinton and that Obama shouldn't have gotten any delegates from Michigan. It's called COMPRIMISE! It would fine with me if they maintained the original ruling, which Clinton agreed to, and not seat any delegates from Michigan. Obama would have been the winner already.

sky   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

I have learned so much during this whole process. some of the things that truly have surprised me is that Democrats can be just as two faced and dishonest as Republicans. I really believed the Republicans had cornered that market. Before this all started I really admired Senator and President Clinton, even with his obvious issues. But I cant feel that way now. How a person handles themselves represents them. The idea that end justifies means, or that saying so makes it so, or manipulating the truth. These things I do not find admirable and I think it has been very unfortunate. She now wants to unify the party but she spent millions of dollars to divide the party. She created angry and rabid supporters. She created these people. When you see them ranting and raving in the DNC meeting, that is her doing. Because she cares more about herself than the party. Now she wants to fix all the damage she has done. History will show the truth of how both candidates handles this nomination process after the emotions have died down. It is just fact. Obama handled himself with respect and dignity and restraint. There is no reason in the world for her rabid supporters to hate him, and yet some of them do. They hate him simply because he had the nerve to do better than she did. She created an angry mob; people who give the party a bad and ugly face.

j gannon   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

If Hillary has her way, it will never be over until she can steal the nomination!! Sad, pathetic example of a woman!

Independent-Cuban-American-woman-voter-for-Obama   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

PRAISE GOD! I have never prayed for a candidate but I admit that I have prayed for Sen. Obama. Thank God this brutal, mean, hateful campaign season is OVER.

Even though the Clinton supporters like to blame Sen. Obama, the truth is that Bill Clinton started the "mudslinging" in New Hampshire, after they were shocked by Sen. Obama's victory in Iowa!

Hillary was the obvious choice in the fall, and Iowa changed all that! Even back in October before I had heard any of Sen. Obama's speeches I liked him. Simply because he comes across as genuine. Never liked Mrs. Clinton, not even the White House years....... there is something fake, something mean about her. AND...... I DO want, badly to see a woman president in my life time! Just not Hillary, she came across from the very beginning as "being entitled to" ...... that just turned me and many others I know OFF.

I am SO grateful that this is almost over with the Clintons. There have never been such mean-spirited, race-and-sex-dividing duo. They should be ashamed that they almost destroyed a decent man.

Now, the Democrats have a LOT of healing to do. I hope for the sake of our nation, that both sides can come together!

martin   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

JB   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

USA Voter – your logic is nonsense. Get a clue, his name wasn't even on the ballot. Do you think no one in Detroit voted for Obama? Grow up.

Cammi317   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

USA Voter – technically, NEITHER of them were entitled to any votes or delegates from Michigan because it was an ILLEGAL election. So end the end the choice was share or nothing at all.

thruthseeker   June 3rd, 2008 10:23 am ET

CNN you are so obviously biased, in favor of Hillary Clinton . Why ? You always short Obama's amount of delagates, and you do your best to try to keep Hillary's supporters inflamed about her being the VP nominee, with these b***s*** surveys ( would Hillary accept the VP spot cr**) You should stop it because most of the posts don't like her or want her.

OBAMACAN- CA   June 3rd, 2008 10:22 am ET

The primaries are finally over and now on to the real fight we've all been waiting for 7 years.

McCain's "Double Talk Express" STOPS HERE!

I can no longer wait to see Barack Obama verbally own John McSame in the U.S. Presidential Debates.

Enlightened Voter   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

Please hillary supporters, she does NOT have the popular vote unless you go by her crazy math that Obama got none, zero, de nada in MI. And I think we all agree he atleast got one. Haven't you learned by now how much your candidate lies. But go check the facts for yourself.

santos   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

Why would the hillary's supporters vote for Mccain, given that both of their policies are so much different. These people clearly do not care about policy and vision for a better america. Lets face it, they do not want to vote for obama because he is black. It is a sad reality.

YES WE CAN UNITE!!!   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

The FOLLOWERS/SUPPORTERS need to set aside their differences, because there really isn't much of a difference between Hillary and Obama's campaign. The biggest difference is that one is black and one is white, but that is only if you really want to see the difference.....but they are DEMOCRATS!!!

They both pretty much want the same thing. So why is it that people are going to vote for McCain? Is this about who the democratic nominee is or about the democrats taking back the White house? Or is this about the supporters saving face....

I fight for you right to say what you want and vote for who you want but Don't take this right for granted...Think before you cast you vote.

Ex-Hillary supporter   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

I don't care if our next President is male, female or a bit of both, I just want him/her to be a good one. Obama has all the qualities I look for in a leader, Clinton has been a huge disappointment as her true character has emerged throughout her distasteful campaign. Her lack of integrity and dependence on her husband being major weakesses.

judi in NJ   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

What kind of woman would vote against their best interests. Those of you who are ranting that you will vote for McCain, may be dooming your grand daughters to the back alleys again. And you know what I mean!

California Voter   June 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

I have no problem with the final vote going to the convention. I have supported Hillary and will continue to do so. If Obama is the candidate, the only way I would even consider voting for him is if Hillary is on the ticket. I cannot in good faith vote for someone who belonged to a racist church for 20 years and now is breaking with it to try and make his run for the presidency. Sorry, talk about core values, judgment and honesty, doesn't sound like Obama has those values I can support. Actually, on second thought, I really don't want him or Michelle in the White House. Guess I'll vote for McCain.

A CANUCK   June 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

I t could and should be over tonight.....if the Delegates put Obama over the top. It would be very wise timing on their part.....and would put an end to this fiasco. Then the Dems could get real serious about beating Gramps McCain !!!!

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   June 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

I'll probably regret saying this, but I think that the "Match Made In Hell" might be just what this country needs.

After all, Didn't Obama say that he wants to talk to his enemies? Well, right now, isn't Hillary his enemy?

I don't know – it's a tough call.

Wake-Up America   June 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

Wakeup poeple! They are not that far apart in total vote count. Throw in the margin of error and it's simply to close to call.

What that really says is that either candidate can win in the GE and it's up to the delegates and supers to make sure a democrat wins the next election and they like Obama. Hillary's argument is a good one, but it's not all that valid.

Either candidate has good chance.
Clinton 1911 – 17,673,329/16,474,034
Obama 2082 – 17,355,652/16,779,438

Also factor in the loyal democrats that will come over to Obama when the primary is over and his numbers will swell to over 30 mil. I say no to Hillary being on this ticket.

Obama08&12

ItsOver   June 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

The democratic party has let us down. They have let us down hard. Our hurt, anger and frustration over the 2000 presidential election is nothing compared to this. For this was caused by our own party. Months of agony over how the democratic party let the media sway our primary. The un-imaginable stance of more votes being deemed not as important as more delegates. Plainly saying that some rules are more important than others. I have lost – I have lost the democratic party. Never again will I call myself a proud democrat.
It can not just be about race. Every race has gender and yet the media finds it acceptable to squash the female like an annoying bug and the democrats let them. As a woman I am outraged. As an American I am disgusted. I am a 47 year old white woman with a college degree. I have been a registered democrat since I was old enough to vote and have voted in every presidential election and primary. I voted for Jesse Jackson over Bill Clinton in the primary for the ‘92 election. Tomorrow I go to register as a republican in protest. I will either vote for McCain or not vote at all. Even if Hillary Clinton gets asked to be Vice President. This is not about Hillary Clinton – this is about what is right and unfortunately what is wrong about our political process and the media.

obama nomination = mccain presidency.

last two term democrat? CLINTON.

2004? pathetic candidate john kerry.
2008... john kerry number TWO?
no thanks.

obama = loser.

Beatriz Perez-Sanchez   June 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Obama would be a fool to ask Clinton to be his V.P.. If they are elected on the same ticket, Obama's chances of making it through his first term would probably be slim. Of course I'm not suggesting that the Clintons would orchestrate anything to cut short an Obama presidency. They are a fine upstanding couple, paragons of virtue and role models for all Americans. Obama would have nothing to fear with Clinton as VP, nothing at all. Say, why did Hillary make that Robert Kennedy reference after all? Perhaps she just 'misspoke' or was 'misunderstood'.

quent97   June 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Hillary stay in the race. Just because THE BLACK VOTERS hate
you does not mean you should quite.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

Even if Hillary doesn't win the nomination she can be the spoiler. This is a dog eat dog campaign and she should go for the bone. I don't know what Hillary is thinking but if it was me I would get back at the DNC even if it means the democrats don't win the white house and that is her running as an independent. That would certainly make Obama lose the presidency. If she doesn't do that I would suggest all voters for Hillary WRITE HER NAME IN!! WE WANT TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T WIN THE PRESIDENCY OR VOTE FOR MACAIN.

Nando, Florida   June 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

Its not about revenge or angry feelings!! Its about coming together

Its about BEATING MCBush in the fall!!!!
*Together * they would do this!!!!!
Please do not brush this aside.
just think
No more War, better economy, better health care etc etc
ITS about HEALING the country from Bushs and Cheneys sad lack of leadership

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   June 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Hillary 08, the electable candidate:
-------------------
Back to reality. Popular vote means zip in this country.
Remember, Al Gore won the popular vote by over 500,000, and lost because of 537 votes in Florida.

Unfortunately, the founding fathers didn't fully trust the people to decide who becomes president.

Maybe now that we have so much information at our disposal, that should change. Maybe we should bring back the popular vote.

Obama's wife just may be his undoing. You notice they've pretty much taken her off the public campaign trail anymore, don't you?

I think it is a disgrace that the DNC will not count all votes in Florida. What is this country comming to when your votes don't count.
I did not vote for Hillary but only wished I did. If Obama has to cheat to win this election McCain will get my vote if Hillary doesn't win.
I feel Hillary should fight for all her votes including Florida and Michigan and if she doesn't fight for these votes that are rightfuilly hers then she should lose. Keep Fighting Hiliary the Obama want to cheat at an election don't let dishonest individuals to win a fixed election.
If you win you got my vote.

Best of Luck Hillary

Ali   June 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

I think Hillary should stay through the National Convention; she does have the better chance at winning against McCain. She won in the big states and in the swing states. Obama won in caucus elections mainly.

Don't trust him or his wife. Not proud to be an American until when? How long has Michelle Obama been living in the US?

tidho   June 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

But wait!!!!!!!!

Millions of women are going ot write her in. (so what if conervative judges reverse Roe v Wade)

Millions more will vote for McCain (who cares if the Iraq war continues four more years)

Obama is the guy attaching Hillary's character. (still haven't figured that one out, but so what if Health Care is never addressed).

Obama is a dirty campaigner. (not so dirty as to claim his party's nominee is unfit for office, but still really dirty!).

Obama has no experience. (because state and local experience is irrelevant when running the Federal Governemnt because the Fed never interacts with state and local governments).

Obama can't win! (not sure why that's the case, but pretty sure its olitically correct for – he's black).

Obama can't win the big states! (because its inplausable to think he might be a close second choice to Hillary and would still squash McCain).

Obama is not a fighter! (nope apparently he's just a winner).

Obama has divided this party! (takes two sides for division and its pretty clear who's spent more energy pulling away from the other).

Obama is going to talk to Iran! (cause talking never gets you anywhere in international diplomacy).

Obama is naive! (the value of experience is aplying it to make good choices – like not invading countries without a good reason)

Is it at all possible that Clinton ran a lousy campaign, clung to an outdated message, expected a coronation, spent money like a drunken sailor?

Nah...bring on the whitey tape.

Pathetic.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

All of the commentors who are for Hillary should write her name in as an independent. I am sure he will not capture WVA or KY because they already stated they would not vote for him. And I don't believe he will get the Latino vote. Her protestors carried signs that said GO MCCAIN which means they would vote McCain. Those that vote for Obama are in the same category as he is. Underhanded, liar, fake and copied and studied the speeches of RFK that's where he got the word hope and change. Like Rush said, he can't do anything on his own. Everything he does or says is copied from someone else. That's the educated Harvard College graduate that is running for president. And last week the internet stated that 52% of college students are on drugs therefore those are the ones voting for Obama because he is a former drug addict and heavy drinker. I know he is a smoker but I believe he is also a closet drinker. Hillary should appeal the MI delegates because his name was not on the ballot and he should have got zero but Dean, Reid and Nancy endorsed Obama and they didn't want Hillary to catch up. Dean needs to be fired, Reid needs a rocking chair and Nancy should go back to Italy and stay there.

Joe   June 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

It will never be over!!! This Clinton woman will do anything!! She and her family are liars, bigots, devisive, and power hungery. I hope this family would just leave!!!

Creative Woody   June 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

No, the race WON'T be over. Not until Hillary recovers from her drug-induced hallucinations about winning the nomination. It's been since March, and there's no indication she's hit reality yet.

Peter FROM NJ   June 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

HILLARY THE MOST PREPARED AND QUALIFIED TO WIN IN NOVEMBER
IF SHE IS NOT THE NOMINEE IN A THREE WAY RACE

OBAMA
MCCAIN
HILLARY

HILLARY WOULD BE THE WINNER

Paul: Most of my comments do not make it either. CNN consists of a bunch of empty-headed, prejudiced, talking heads (CNN=Clinton News Network) – HA

Mike, Iowa   June 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Don't go away mad – just go away.

I don't know about the rest of you, though, but i'm not breathing easy until the Convention is over.... you have to wonder what kind of game-playing and behind-the-scenes arm-twisting she and Bill will bring up in the meantime.

Cathy in MD   June 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Yes, indeed. Cause for celebration!

Tammy - KCMO   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

I think Obama has more to lose than gain by putting Clinton on his ticket as VP. I'd be fine with her in the cabinet but I'll be thinking twice about who I will vote for if he asks her to be her running mate. There are other better candidates that he could ask. The Clintons made this race much too divisive for her to be a good fit. The majority of her supporters seem to feel if she isn't the nominee for President then they won't vote for Obama even if she is his running mate. I don't think no matter what the Clintons say that this would be a good idea. Bill and Hillary don't know how to take a backseat to anyone.

Adamantia   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Back in January I was pulling for Clinton but would have had no problem supporting Obama if he had won the nomination. Now, after four months of attacks, hateful insults and nasty remarks from Obama supporters, I will never cast my vote for Obama......even if Clinton is on the ticket. It is obvoius to me that the hate and resentment that Obama has subscribed to for the past 20 years has bleed over into his supporters. I will join my fellow Democrats in making sure that he does NOT get elected.

Samuel T. Horton   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Apparently Mark Penn says the video is coming by next week. I guess whoever has it wants 5mil bucks for it or something.

Penn doesnt say something this drastic unless it exists.

The video does exist, I think the problem is getting their hands on it.

Les-Wa   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Hillary you're the only democratic candidate that can win the Whitehouse and unite the party. I am your supporter from Day One, but IF you're not the nominee for our party, like the rest of lifelong democrats I'd be voting for McCain. You may campaign for Obama who DISRESPECTED you, you can ask us to unite behind him, but that won't do any good.

When WE say, we will not vote for Obama, we mean it. The welfare of my country is my PRIORITY not my political affiliation. The elite and ultra liberals can vote for Obama, WE moderate democrats will vote for McCain. We've seen what extremist leadership (Bush) have done to our country, I be darn if we will allow another extremist in the Whitehouse.

McCain is a moderate Republican, he has experience and good track record serving in the senate. I am leaving the democratic party, the party I've embraced and contributed money to for a number of years. The Democratic Party leaders are acting like a bunch of NAZIS, I don't want to be affiliated with them anymore. I'd be an independent voter.

B postive   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Hillary is the only President for me!

MelissaMinneapolis   June 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Those of you saying you refuse to vote for Obama seem very upset, but can you please explain why you refuse to vote for him given that their policies are so similar?

J   June 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Senator Obama,

Please think about if you offer Clinton the VP spot you will have more of the same!! THey will be on your ear 24/7 trying to get the spotlight, I think that Colin Powell is a great option to consider.. We Obama supporters don't want Hillary on the ticket! we saw how she really is trying to divide us.

OBAMA

Alice in Florida   June 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

NOOOOOOBAMA!!!!!! NEVER!!!! McCain before Obama!!!!!!

Frank Glendale ca   June 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

I am very disappointed in the Clintons! I used to be a Clinton fan (Bill and Hillary), but they have shown their true colors during this primary they ean thier race like a G.O.P member. Please bring the party together it's over someone has to lose and it was you.

Let's get this big win in Nov! We can not take 4 more years of the same.

MD   June 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Obama's biggest mistake would be to bow to pressure and get Hillary on his ticket.

My concern is not so much that Hillary's constant comment that she is the better person to be the president will undermine Obama's presidency, as it is Bill Clinton. Obviously, there is no way to zip his mouth (and apparently his pants).

I am a Republican supporting Obama. However, if, in my view, he makes the grave mistake of offering Hillary the No. 2 Spot, I will vote for McCane.

The US abolishes century old clinton dynasty   June 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Hillary continues to show she does not care about the party she cares about having power by all means..
I would not trust her in any way, so I hope Senator Obama carefully weights in everything she and booba have been doing, saying, and invisibly orchestrating for years..
CHange means exactly change, having the name clinton tagged along in the new administration, will not mean change, will mean both clintons undermining everything that has to do with change..
she and booba are about status quo and elite, that is not what this country is about,

so................ we either have change from the bottom up and _ Obama/Sebelius _ or stay the one and the same with mccain

anyoen but the the clintons..........

M   June 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

One can only hope it is over...
The Clintons will not go out quietly though. She will proabbly announce tonight she is taking this to the convention. I'll believe it is over when she officially drops out. But even then...

Yes we can!   June 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

This race was already over a while ago, Hillary just refused to step down!.....now we have to worry about she and her supporters keeping their word in uniting this party for Obama to win.....if he looses, it will be because she ignited a fire that her supporters refuse to put it out. they will vote mccain for bitter and selfish reason instead of on the issues that both hillary and obama share...that's just DUMB!....stay home like me, if she gets the nominee, because she already said she doesn't need my african american vote...only the hard working white people.....

MelissaMinneapolis   June 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

She does NOT have the popular vote when you count those of us who participated in caucuses.

He is NOT a terrorist sympathizer. The hawkish attitude has actually increased the number of terrorist groups.

I for one am delighted that I will be among the thousands welcoming Obama as our candidate at tonight's rally.

Enlightened Voter   June 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

For the love of all that is good please GOD make her and bill go away. Hey hillary, why don't you run for governor of PR or WV or KY? But please go away!

Charlotte   June 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Regardless of the nominee, I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November.

GABE Sayre pa.   June 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

Hillary won the popular vote. Tell it to Al Gore.

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   June 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

I don't think that Hillary should be Obama's running mate. However, there is another way that would create party unity.

1. Hillary should divorce Bill.
2. Barack should divorce Michelle.
3. Barack should marry Hillary.

That way, she can be First Lady again. It also gets Bill out of the picture! :)

CJATrust   June 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

Fellow Citizens!

Primaries are over, is time to gear toward the Election date, keeping the eye on the ball, setting the agenda issues wherein the voters would provide guidance regarding the next goverment administration. It would require depth on the issues most important for all of us, clear well define positions by the candidates for federal Office, President/VP, Senators and Representatives. Let send a message, contact your candidates for these positions, let her/him know your three most important issues, and while you are at it, send me a copy, I will summarize, and report to you on due time.

Thanks for the collaboration

oil rules   June 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

Hillary will finally be able to collect on her loan to her campaign and jump in as the VP selection. After that you will think they have been best friends for years. The hypocrisy will be sickening and it will be overlooked. Of course, Obama will be hiring a federal food taster....

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   June 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

More finger-wagging denials? Pleeeeze.

Put a stop to the Clinton (BAD) legacy.

Go OBAMA

IAMWMD   June 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Die hard Hillary supporters really need to hang it up. Hillary is the most divisive politician in the country and there is no place for her on Obama's ticket as VP. As a matter of fact she should be kicked out of the Democratic Party.

I will be very disappointed in Obama after donating to his campaign if he offers her the VP spot after I've contributed my money to defeat this untrustworthy woman.

Hillary supporters please let the door hit you where the lord split you on your way out the door and don't forget to vote McSame so that your candidates will be defeated twice in one year

Sue   June 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

So, the democrats have chosen a Farrakhan-like candidate. Too bad. Our country will suffer from this.

Scott   June 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

I have Hillary up by a very narrow margain in the overall popular vote..

popular Vote (w/MI
Uncommitted to Obama)** 17,627,421 48.7% 17,692,976 48.9%

I have her up by about 65,000 votes.. I think giving Obama all the uncommited in MI is giving him more votes.at the time John edwards was still on ballet,so all those uncommited did not vote for Obama.I would say it's cloer to 100K lead in popular for hillary.

either way over 35 million votes cast..and the difference is unbelievably close..less than 100K votes.

Mariann Pepitone   June 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

There is nothing historic about Obama because he isn't black he is Mulatto half black and half white, will never be black or white. Jessie Jackson is 100% black and he was the first black candidate to run for president. Also, if Hillary is smart she would run as an independent candidate and her votes would make Obama lose the election and McCain would become president or her voters should write her in like I am going to do and that would eliminate Obama.

Lisa-Fl.   June 3rd, 2008 10:03 am ET

He can claim the nomination all he wants that sure won't make him president. I wish Mr. Empty Suit Obama & his hatefull wife Michele would step aside so we would have a viable candidate to take the Whitehouse. Why did the DNC pick another loser!!!

alee21   June 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Hillary must now run as an Independent. There is a lot of support for that route. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the AA and liberal branch and does not represent those of us who are centrists. I do not trust Obama and his judgment. He is beholden to his handlers that put him where he is – Rezko, Auchi, Daley, Wright, Pfleger, Ayers, Dohrn, Axelrod.

If Hillary drops out, she should stay in the Senate and run again in 2012. Meantime, we will vote to put McCain in the WH – I would rather risk having an experienced moderate patriotic Republican than an unqualified, sleazy, left wing, affirmative action Democrat.

Spirit of America   June 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

May God bless and sustain the most visionary and prophetic US Senator we have had in the past century: Senator Robert Byrd.

boomer babe for Obama   June 3rd, 2008 10:02 am ET

Although I'm in Hillary Clinton's demographic, I'm also capable of thinking for myself and I recognized the clear differences between the Democratic candidates long ago. As Senator Obama ran his campaign the way he would run the country – ethically, competently, fiscally prudent – it became clear that he was the better candidate.

I'm disappointed that Hillary has worked hard to turn her supporters against Obama, and hope that she will work equally hard to reverse this process leading up to the general election.

Anthony - Morgantown   June 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

Yes, To Denver!...

To support the nominee Obama!

Uncle Sam   June 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

McCain Democrats to the rescue!!!

Seth   June 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

I'm sorry but anyone who says anything like "HILLARY/MCCAIN '08" either

1) Is a republican troll trying to stir things up in the comments

2) Completely insane – You can't possibly hold that values of the Democratic Party (out of Iraq, pro-choice, etc.) and suggest voting for McCain. I know you are upset that your candidate didn't win, but give me a break. If Clinton's supporters are so unpatriotic that they are willing to put McCain in the White House who they think has all the wrong views on where this country should go is disgusting and childish. If that is the case, get out of my party.

deborah   June 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

Obama should never select the CLINTONS as HIS VP" S

Joyce in Florida   June 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

Please stay in the race Senator Clinton. It is not over yet. I believe you should stay in all the way to the convention. The people have spoken and believe that YOU should be the nominee. There are still results to be seen this month from the Texas caucus results. We know there was fraud there and we need to know the final number count. We wish you all the luck and hope you win these two primaries tonight. That would be so fantastic and can finally make the Obama sweat a little. I will not give up on you nor will others. You are ahead in the popular vote and must fight for your nomination. We will fight with you. HILLARY CLINTON FOR OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rebecca   June 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

President Obama. Oh my gosh that sounds awful. Yes, and it is too bad that Michelle Obama's remarks could not have come out before now. They are being saved to insure a republican president will win. You people will not know what you have done until you finally get what you want with making Obama the democratic nominee.

Matt   June 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

It was over long ago.

The dems picked Obama in '04, there wasn't anybody that would dare speak honestly about him in fear of being tagged a racist.

Now we are going to have a nominee who is ignorant and inexperienced because everyone was afraid to offend the black community and select the right person for the job.

Politics at it's worst.

I'm switching to the Republican party where their support for the Black-Community is genuine.

Black-Americans for McCain '08

Phil in KC   June 3rd, 2008 10:00 am ET

To use a well-worn phrase, stick a fork in her, she's done.
She ran a tough campaign, but in the end she lost. It was a close race, but she now needs to face reality and close ranks, as promised. Of course, she reneged on other promises, so I'm adopting a 'wait and see' attitude on that one.

vic nashville,Tn   June 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

The race is over practically but !!!!!!!!!!!!! the race is not over, This race made history
The race will come back in November 4th
Hillary 08 change into Mc Cain 08

mike   June 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

Let's hope it's over. Let's also tone down the anti-Clinton rhetoric. Her supporters will hopefully grasp reality and calm down enough to realize that Obama is on their side too and will win the general with everyone's support.

Veterans for Obama   June 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

Its been fun Hillary....We need a fighter like you on our side. Hopefully the wounds we've inflicted aren't too deep. The real enemy is still out there.

Anna   June 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

If this thing over by today night, then Hillary supporters will have enough time to get over and unite in GE. We can't afford war for 100 years.

Kenneth M   June 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

As a blackman I can just imagin if Hillary had won you could have written the very same article subing out the words women with African Americans. We have alos been a large and loyal block in the party. We have also had systematic disadvantages not just in this election but in this nations history.
The reason she lost has less to do with sexisum or blow back from rasisum and more to do with loosing 11 contest in a row. At that point she lost the steam that drives support. She lost those 11 races because Obama was able to make hay out of her vote to authorize the war, and her Bosnia lie.
Those two events are what cost her the support of many voters and she could not get them back after that because she kept changing her message from that point on. Obama dealt with rasium, and to some degree sexisum. More people did not vote for him because he is black then people who voted for him because he is black. He managed their effects. He was subject to them but not vitimized by them.
Clinton let the fact that she thought "sooner or later they will elect me president" get in the way with her management skills. So now what you are seeing is sour grapes by the Clinton supporters. It shows that they are less for ending the war, getting healthcare, and turning the economy, and more for a women in the White House.

NickNas   June 3rd, 2008 9:58 am ET

Don't trust her to go quietly. Its her fault by the way she has been acting. Don't trust or respect her or her husband anymore.

YOU THINK!!

Caryn, WDC   June 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

If Hillary graciously concedes, I will support a Dream Ticket. I didn't feel this way yesterday because she seemed so intent on taking the party down to get what she wanted.

She needs to work really hard to earn back our trust.

proud army and navy mom   June 3rd, 2008 9:57 am ET

even though it has been over, i want Sen Obama to watch his back. just because they say that a democrat should be elected, bill and hillary would have showed that they want mccain to win.

they know that mcsenile is old and they hope obama lose to him and bill can get old girl another shot. they are backstabbers. i don't trust them!

Ro   June 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

it was over a long time ago....Hillary just wont go away...

Democrats United   June 3rd, 2008 9:56 am ET

The Hillary Clinton supporters will have a chance to see how real politics
and democracy works when Hillary endorses Senator Obama this week.
You will also see that this is business, not personal when she urges
her supporters to vote for Senator Obama, and not John McCain.

Yes We Can.

paddy   June 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

One thing is clear though that Americans are more used to a neatly dressed women standing silently next to her husband running for president than a really qualified and accomplished woman with experience, vigor and intelligence to be competing for the office....

USA Voter   June 3rd, 2008 9:55 am ET

Though he's ahead, Obama deserved NO delegates from Michigan. That's nonsense, just the DNC trying to make it appear that he was close to clinching the nomination, but no matter how many times he outspent his opponents, or tried to redraw the lines, the best Senator Obama could achieve was a draw.

Tom in CA   June 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

It's not over until the fat lady sings.

My...does she have a beautiful voice and what lovely song.

Will from NYC   June 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

Wait I'm sure she'll move those goal posts again... its been all about her and zero about the November election till now. Why should she change that attitude? She's Mrs. Hillary Clinton who has so much Presidential experience telling Bill to keep it zipped....that she is entitled to move those goal posts. Soon she'll petition the dem national committee to drop the delegate rule and go with her BS popular vote count.

jaylo   June 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

Take it to the convention Hillary. Otherwise we might as well hand the keys over to McCain. I could have gotten behind Obama if it had been a fair fight, but thanks to the Democratic part establishment and media--it's personal now. Clinton or McCain.

REAL American for Obama   June 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

It will never be over. HRC and Bill will still be campaigning over the next four years, during Obama's presidency.

Pete   June 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Well, Barbara (singular), keep waiting.

TESAP   June 3rd, 2008 9:53 am ET

Yes the race is over hopefully tonight will brring it to a close, I am sorry but I do not think that HC deserves any type of congratulations, she ran a dirty campaign, is 20mil+ in debt, used the race card when it benefited her and commended her republican rival and Rove..... She tried to destroy the democratic party for her own gain........

Bye Bye Hilary, you will not be missed... :)

one nation under god!!!!   June 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Thank god im not even a Dem and im exhausted.

shirley   June 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

Hillary need to accept that Obama has won the most delegates, is ahead in the popular vote and concede at this point. We need to pull together to win in November. That means all of the disappointed supporter's need to realize that the majority has selected the candidate, Florida and Michigan were settled fairly and this is not a contest about 'boys vs girls' and never has been.

FreshAir   June 3rd, 2008 9:52 am ET

I just hope Barack do not make Hillary his VP. The Clintons have tricks up their sleeves, just think about it? Barack become President, Hillary as his VP, something happens to Barack guest who becomes the new President? Wow, then she could really be the president like she wanted,but not for the people, but for the POWER!

I for one am glad it is over and I hope we can come together [for the most part anyway] and remove the Republicans from the White House.
That's really what it should be all about now.

evelyn   June 3rd, 2008 9:50 am ET

Thought she was still leaving in dream land thank God she is awake to reality. Now all hands should be on deck to work for the democratic party with Hillary doing all she can to make this a sure thing in Nov.

james roman   June 3rd, 2008 9:49 am ET

Phew, It's about time. A great leader once stated " a house divided against itself cannot stand" This election is too important to hand over to the sinister republican party we need to unify, Bill needs to keep his frat boy lifestyle out of the limelight, and Hillary needs to drop her sense of entitlement and stop trying to change the rules in the fourth quarter.

a. Florida and Michigan broke the rules she's lucky she got anything out of those states I am an obama supporter and I live in florida, guess what? I didnt vote because I was told it would not count, am I not disenfranchised?

b. Popular vote does not matter, maybe it should but not after a contest has been 99.9% completed. Maybe next time.

c. Be gracious Sen Clinton if you truly do care about our country and not your own towering ambitions.

Venus   June 3rd, 2008 9:48 am ET

Every game and race has an end and a new game/race begins!

Time to end the primary and move forward to the general election!

Great job to Hillary for a great race! She got more votes than any of us – even those who don't like her! Let's not forget that the Clintons have done wonderful and great things for our country and our world!

And... the Clintons are still family members to our party and will play key roles in Obama's campaign!!!

Obama for president!

Phillis B   June 3rd, 2008 9:47 am ET

I hope its over !. It's time to focus on the election. For those of you that keep saying Obama can't win the GE and site the election of '72 the McGovern campaign, well, you need to understand this is a whole new era. For the past eight yrs. the repubs have run our country into the ground. I just can't imagine the American people being stupid enough to allow this to continue, which is what would happen if McCain is elected. You want to say Obama is "inexperienced", well look at those already leading the country, their "experience" hasn't gotten us anywhere. I'm tired of the war, and knowing people in our country are losing their jobs, their homes, can't provide health care for their own children, can't put food on the table, and, and, and....
It's time for change, It's time for Obama.

Sara   June 3rd, 2008 9:45 am ET

CNN_ YOUR COMMENT IS AWAITING MODERATTION!!!!!!

Kenneth of Minneapolis (KW)   June 3rd, 2008 9:45 am ET

Why are the sDelegates waiting to declare? They should declare prior to the results of tonight's primaries are complete. This way it will appear that the pDelegates put Senator Obama over the top.

See you all at Xcel Center this evening.

Sara   June 3rd, 2008 9:44 am ET

Even James Carville said this morning on Cnn that Obama will win. He knows what he is talking about and he supports Hillary. There is no way possible that she can get the numbers she needs to win. There are 115 super delegates that will go to Obama after to night.

arc   June 3rd, 2008 9:43 am ET

That depends solely on Senator Clinton who seems to care more about her place in history while 'everyday' folks lose their jobs and their homes, and more young American soldiers lose their lives.

Hillary Clinton proudly voted to send over 4000 young American soldiers to their deaths in an unnecessary war; hand-in-hand alongside the Bush Administration and John McCain.

Democratic voters should never forgive her for that. That should be her legacy. This, along with the negativity, the lies and the pandering to race and gender that she used at every turn during her failed campaign for President of the United States.

66 year old white female catholic, for Obama   June 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Evidently, people don't understand that we can't afford for Hillary to take this all the way to the convention and divide the party. For Hillary, it is over and she should graciously bow out and help Obama secure the presidential nomination. It is time that we give someone other than a clinton or Bush or McBush a chance in the White House. People are afraid of Barack, no experience, well Hillary doesn't have any more experience at resolving the issues this country faces. We need someone with sound judgement, willing to talk to our enemies, and someone that can negotiate and help restore our country back to what it was before the Bushes and The Clintons. obama has overcome a lot of obstacles, especially the bashing by Clintons and Mccain and the media. I feel that he will lead this country, energize the American people to help give back to their country thru work programs, and to allow us to have our freedom back. Open the White House doors and let the American people know what is going on in Washington and help us to feel secure.

Hillary and Bill have too much of a past, people seem to forget all the problems the Clintons have, and all they remember are the good years of the economy. Well eveidently the people have spoken and she has lost. Don't be surprised if she still tries her slicky slimy tricks and ruins the party.

Gabrielle, Lancaster SC   June 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

I am so frustrated with this entire campaign and primary season. I am irate that Clinton and her supporters have the audacity to compare the Florida and Michigan situation to the Jim Crow south and how African-Americans were disenfranchised.

Please show me one report of someone being lynched, burned alive, emasculated, or any other atrocity during this primary season.... You cannot so Clinton supporters don't you dare compare those states breaking the rules to the treatment blacks received when they were denied their right to vote.

I am so ready for this primary to be over.

Belle   June 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Thank you for the nasty comment Barbara...it must do your heart good to drive Clinton supporters to McCain.

Crush Rush   June 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

Its been over for some time now.Its time to slice and dice Repulicans as a whole,starting with their mouthpiece on the radio.Im making a list of Limbaughs sponsors.

Marc in DeKalb, IL   June 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

The majority of America has been asking the same thing, "Can it be over?" ... and has been since Texas.

The majority of the world is just looking and laughing.

If America is still that city on a hill that Winthrop hoped and expected us to be, thanks to this ridiculous Democratic primary, we look like a well-illuminated clown college.

Monique - Jax., FL   June 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

It is now time for the Democratic party to come together. Too many people are supporting their candidate and not the party. I really expected to see our seniors show more love and unity.

Maria, Florida Panhandle   June 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

I am just glad to see its about to be over. I am for Obama but if the tables were turned I'd feel the same way. The main goal now needs top be make sure a Republican doesn't win again. This country can't take another Republican. They had 8 yrs to get it right and couldn't so its time the Dems turn things around. To all you Hillary supporters, do the right thing vote Democrat. All I am afraid of is another Bush V Gore situation in Florida. i am scared to death that my vote won't count. I do my part by casting my vote properly I hope my state does its part and make it count. I watched the movie 'Recount' on HBO and it was depressing. Hillary supporters complain and threathen not to vote Dem but I just want my vote to count!!!!!!!

kat   June 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

They are both good candidates and both deserve to win. But there can only be one winner – Obama!

Karl   June 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

Hillary Clinton has a fought a close, tough contest. Now that we have come to the end it's time to unify and try and get the republicans out of the White House. I hope the voters know what they did by nominating Obama......Still feel Hillary was the best shot at the White House this year but time will tell if people are wondering where they went wrong in November.

Jaci   June 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Despite what she said about once Obama had the delegates she would concede, Something tells me she won't bow out gracefully and graciously....That's not the Clinton style.

Monica for Obama in Indiana   June 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Hey Barbara,
Get over it. You are just tooo old to keep lingering on this. At your age, you should be enjoying life, if you have nothing else to do. Go volunteer somewhere, to do something good. And this has nothing to do with your color.

Chris Banner   June 3rd, 2008 9:36 am ET

It's clearly over, it's been over for quite some time

CJ   June 3rd, 2008 9:36 am ET

Clinton could possibly win – "Not! Obama will end it tonight! He has to many super delegates on his side.

Anyone listening?   June 3rd, 2008 9:35 am ET

Is it just me or are a lot Superdels dragging their feet to endorse so they won't have to vote? A vote in the *wrong* direction could have consequences in their own political career. Sad. And here we keep wanting to believe our government really cares about the people (end sarcasm here.)

Major Michael in Lorton, Virginia   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

It has been over for months.......just a formality and acceptgance of defeat by Hillary.

Brett from Austin, TX   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

You must have Alzheimer's, Barbara...because I am pretty sure, deep down inside, you remember that the 90's was a GOOD TIME for everyone :) Surely you wouldn't "conveniently forget" those good times just to hop on the Obama bandwagon :( Shame, shame...

Dave C - NJ   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

Hillary said that she has minor differences with Obama, and her differences with McCain are gigantic, yet you fools are threatening to vote for McCain? Take your ball and go home politics...lol.

FYI: The press beat up on Hillary because she was ridiculous and ran a bad campaign, not because she was a "woman."

Alex   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

I think you meant 51 contests CNN not 61!

vicky   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

Thank you Hillary for making potholes for Obama.
Now it is Obama's time!

GERALD STROTHER   June 3rd, 2008 9:34 am ET

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WILL. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brett from Austin, TX   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

Barbara...are you insinuating there is a problem with a former president who was very effective taking back the reigns? You'd rather take your chances with the new guy, huh?

Reality Check   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

I am a bit confused about that dream ticket people are talking about. What about Barak message of change. I think it is time to start asking Barak what he meant by change. If Hillary is in the ticket, then his message don't make any sense. Barak better not dissappoint young people because many of us are going to quit working for him.

Now, is time for Barak to explain that change change of a message he has been talking about. What does it mean anyways?

Paul from New Jersey   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

I guess they finally realize that the only score that counts is the final score.

Imagine a football team trying to get credit for a win just because they had more yards, or more first downs, or forced more turnovers.

The rules are and will always be the rules.

thank you CNN!

Neutral   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

JFK went to the convention short of 260 delegates, he came out as the nominee. Superdelegates can change their minds up to the last second before pushing the button to cast their vote during convention. An endorsement is just that, an endorsement; that's like endorsing Pepsi but you drink coca cola.

Take it all the way to the convention Hillary, you're the only one who can save the Democratic Party; it is IMPLODING as we speak. Your supporters are very serious, they're not making empty threats.

DNC and SUPERDELEGATES you better listen to the people especially superdelegates; you're elected by the PEOPLE not the few ELITE of your party.

Tony   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

Barbara: Ever have your comments "await moderation" all day and NEVER get posted? Have sent several and they just sit there.

CNN claims to be unbiased and fair. What a joke!

Darryl M. Arlington Texas   June 3rd, 2008 9:33 am ET

Congrats, to all Obama's Supporters and All Clinton's Supporters.

We had a great contest and United we can be ready for the General Election.....

God Bless of All

Ivar   June 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

Do you really think so? I just know that if Obama has this woman on the ticket then he would loose my support because it would mean that his stance on lobbists is wrong

Dan (TX)   June 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

It'll be over – one way or another, that's for sure. Even if it's not over in Hillary's fantasy world. I'm waiting to hear her "victory" speech. Kind of hard to continue to campaign when you just told your staff to "go home" and "wait further instructions." You go girl! Home, that is! :) Get back to the Senate and join in the debate on the global warming bill.

Lindsay   June 3rd, 2008 9:31 am ET

I still refuse to vote for Obama. Maybe I'll go third party, but I cannot bring myself to vote for him.

Sorry dems. You lost someone who has been a democrat since the womb.

Hillary 08, the electable candidate   June 3rd, 2008 9:30 am ET

My predictions.... Hillary pulls an upset in South Dakota, and she narrows the margin in Montana.

Further predictions include Obama supporters on this website accusing South Dakotans of being racists tomorrow.

Oh, and by the way, Hillary has and will retain the lead in the popular vote.

No more rigged elections. If Hillary is not the nominee, I've already emailed Lou Dobbs to let him know that I am switching to Independent.

No sympathizers to terrorism in the White House... Anyone but OBAMA

KM   June 3rd, 2008 9:30 am ET

I sure hope so, maybe next time Hillary.

The US abolishes century old clinton dynasty   June 3rd, 2008 9:30 am ET

we all know she does not let go of power,
we all know she feels entitled to the white house because her husband had it once and therefore she must have it too.. these two are in competition and have been for years.. she competes with booba all the time.

she will make something up, or came up with soemthing else, she has done that all along..
either will threatened Obama taht if he does not does this or that, she will not work towards unifiying the party and even if she says she will, i would not trust this woman.

she has been campaigning republican style, and appears to want the republicans to win
if you go listen to limbaugh you will see she does what he says to do and then her supporters are calling on him and he encourages them to vote for McBush and even sugests clinton may be VP..........

waooh this is billary.. power by any means, even if it means joing the GOP..that is where she belongs

winningcolors06@excite.com   June 3rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

Let's hope so.

jengoescrazy   June 3rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

PULLEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Go away Clintons!

CJ   June 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

Hillary keep fighting. Obamas skeltons are going to be falling out of the closet soon.
Obama will never ever win in Nov. Democrats for McCain.
The day Obama gets the nomination, I will be changing to Independent.

Rashawn the leftist like President Obama   June 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

36 superdelegates are supposed to endorse obama today. I can be a CNN reporter because i find things out way before cnn does....That leaves president obama 6 short

Eddie G   June 3rd, 2008 9:26 am ET

I watched the Pens beat Detroit in triple overtime last night...that was great. Watching Obama win the nomination and seeing Hillary GO AWAY, might even be greater.....

Hay   June 3rd, 2008 9:26 am ET

For the first time in 50 years I'm ready to vote democratic but no way can I do it if Hillary is on the ticket. there are plenty of spots for her other than VP. She would try to take control of everything Obama set out to do, and than theres Bill No one needs him anywhere near the White House. This is Obamas time -let him prove himself with out the the Clintons in the way.

Juliet/55 YEAR OLD WHITE LADY FOR OBAMA   June 3rd, 2008 9:26 am ET

CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET IT RIGHT, HE NEEDS 39.5 WHY ARE YA'LL SO CLINTON CRAZY, I AM DONE WITH CNN. MSNBC HERE I COME.

WOW - Cedar Hill, TX   June 3rd, 2008 9:26 am ET

I am so excited to be apart of such a historic event... and to know that in just hours we will have a democratic nomination wrapped up.

Obama all the way........08

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   June 3rd, 2008 9:26 am ET

I'm still waiting for the Clintons (plural) to declare their victory (plural) as the nominees (plural) and go into the GE campaign.

Go Michigan!!!   June 3rd, 2008 9:25 am ET

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

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

Will from Gaithersburg   June 3rd, 2008 9:24 am ET

Great! Now on to the general election!

Obama 08

ClintonSpinsHerDonors   June 3rd, 2008 9:24 am ET

Thanks God we do not have to see hillary anymore the clintons for that matter the clinton era is over with disgrace.

DNC does the right thing - Ickes and Hillary No   June 3rd, 2008 9:24 am ET

Hillary needs to back off her "popular" vote claim, especially when it minimizes her's AND Obama's historic turnouts and run for the presidency. In fact, it does more to detract from THE FACT that our Democratic nominee will gain the benefit of unprecidented primary turnout in ALL states, that, when flipped for one candidate, spells the potential for a significant Democratic mandate and sweep at local, state, federal (including presidential) levels. Let's embrace a newly invigorate Democratic Party, created by BOTH Hillary and Obama, where BOTH fought vigorously, and it has appeared for some time that Obama has claimed the margin necessary to put him over the top. Yet, all of this is something to celebrate, not bemone. Go Hillary, good job! Go Obama, let's take this thing in the GE.

Listen   June 3rd, 2008 9:23 am ET

If the shoe fits Clinton wear it.

The media is trying to help Obama. Sure I can tell from Rev. Wright to the new pastor to bitter gate.

Why didn't they talk about Paul vs Clinton?
Why didn't they talk about Clinton's pastor the child lover?
Why didn't they talk about Chelsea jogging around the world trade center lie?
Why are they giving her center stage coverage and she is a loser?

Thank god the founding fathers had the foresight to realize how dumb americans are and put in place a delegate system for choosing our president. You have dumb supporters willing to pick someone who has the direct opposite beliefs as them because they lost. Meanwhile, the man that has identical beliefs as them they will not support him. Stupidity at its highest. Thank you forefathers. Their excuses are that he is not electable but he just defeated an icon. Or this is a good one, they are being disenfranchised by the DNC but the RNC penalized both states in the same manner. Or he is not experienced, but he has more elected years then Hillary. Or his supporters are mean, but like them these supporters probably have never met Obama face to face and they are just spewing hate just like Hillary supporters. The list goes on and on. I bunch of dummies.

Then I hear this Reagon democrat nonsense. I see how well off these Reagon democrats are these days. How stupid!

Dummies, when you are choosing a candidate and when they have identical policies you look at how they run their campaign, and their voting record. Can anyone tell me Hillary's voting record on issues that directly affected them? Didn't think so. Excuses are for losers and I guess that is why Hillary lost. No supporter will admit that she ran a dumb campaign, yet they spew excuses. Like I said excuses are for losers. Just think, she didn't think her supporters were intelligent enough to just realize that she was the stronger candidate and stick to the issues, she threw the kitchen (Jerry Springer) sink to get votes. So what does she think of her demographic?!?!

I'm so glad I'm financially well off and I actually wouldn't mind continuing to loot money from the poor stupid voters tax dollars. Republican policies are for well off individuals like myself so please vote for McCain dummies, and we'll continue to take your money and leave you poor. Thank God for dummies. hahaha

McCain all the way!!!! More money for me!!!!!

Amy   June 3rd, 2008 9:23 am ET

Last year, when the press was reporting that we would have a Clinton/Giuliani match up in the fall, I shuddered. Hillary has always been, and continues to be, a divisive political figure, and I for one would have had a hard time supporting her. But looking back now on the race, I see she had a real shot of being the nominee, but for the fact she ran a terrible campaign. From selecting high powered lobbyists to manage her campaign, to the mismanagement of her millions, to not planning for after Super Tuesday, she has no one to blame but herself.
I wish her the best of luck back in the Senate.

bigben   June 3rd, 2008 9:22 am ET

To Denver!

WOMAN 4 OBAMA   June 3rd, 2008 9:21 am ET

PLEEEEEAAAASEEEEE HILARY!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! YOU ARE KILLING US, PLEASE DROP OUT GRACEFULLY, I AM A NUMBER ONE FAN OF YOURS, AND EVEN I KNOW YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GRAB THIS NOMINATION, BUT I WILL SUPPORT YOU IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, BUT PLEASE AS I SIT AT HOME AND THINK ABOUT THE GAS PRICES, WAR, AND OUR ECONOMY, I CANT TAKE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SO PLEASE JUST GIVE IT UP, AND TRY TO WIN BACK OUR WHITE HOUSE, PLEASE, YOU ARE KILLING US SOFTLY. I HONESTLY HOPE THIS IS THE END.

Rave   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 am ET

It was over a long time ago. Can't you understand.
Now just go home.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Robert in Toronto,ON   June 3rd, 2008 9:20 am ET

Obama's going over the top tonight and I hope that Clinton gives up her campaign and chooses to support Obama in her final speech in New York.

By the way Clinton supporters, be very careful of what you do come November. You could think you would be helping your candidate by voting against Obama (ie McCain), but you'll be helping to commit political suicide for Hillary going forward because she'll always be seen as the reason the DNC could lose in November. And if the DNC loses and she gets blamed, what do you think will happen to her politcal career when people won't work with her?

Buh-bye Senate. Hello retirement.

Tony   June 3rd, 2008 9:19 am ET

Hillary should accept the V.P. spot on the ticket, then she and Obama will wipe the floor with McBush, and should something happen to Obama Hillary will ascend as it should have been all along.

All will be as it should! :)

Kenneth M   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 am ET

I WOULD NOT TRUST HER UNTIL 24 HR. AFTER SHE WITHDRAWS.

s.b.   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 am ET

It isn't over unless the Democrats don't really want to win the white house.

Josh   June 3rd, 2008 9:18 am ET

HILLARY, PLEASE KEEP FIGHTING FOR US!!! TAKE THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE CONVENTION!!! THE DNC ARE IN DENIAL AS TO WHO WILL REALLY BE THE BEST PRESIDENT!!! If you do not win the nomination, I will be forced to vote for McCain! This country cannot have an unexperienced candidate for president like Obama! I am a strong Democrat, who is 20 years old, and will not be "going with the flow" like some of my peers and voting for "who is the most popular, rock star" candidate!

HILLARY/MCCAIN '08!

The Truth Will Set You Free   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 am ET

It has been reported by longtime political analyst Roger Stone on the StoneZONE website that a videotape of Michelle Obama making racist comments may soon be unveiled, perhaps as early as this week.

Cynthia   June 3rd, 2008 9:17 am ET

It is what it is. The numbers are not there for Senator Clinton so it should be over but with Senator Clinton you just never know. If the roles were reversed and Senator Obama's numbers were what Senator Clinton are – Senator Obama would have gotten out of the race with grace & diplomacy or he would have been told to get out of the race a long time ago.

Luis   June 3rd, 2008 9:14 am ET

Hang in there Billary,

The Michelle Obama anti-whitey rant video is coming soon to a newscast near you.

Except the Obama News Network (Formerly the Clinton News Network). They will ignore it.....

Vote McCain or Join the Insane

Bob   June 3rd, 2008 9:13 am ET

What is the next story line the media will drive tommorrow morning?

LORD ALL MIGHTY I HOPE AND PRAY IT IS OVER

MartaK-Florida   June 3rd, 2008 9:12 am ET

FINALLY! Thank heavens! Now can we PLEASE get on with the business at hand...the General Election!

Mikey, Scottsdale AZ   June 3rd, 2008 9:12 am ET

President Obama,

Please, please, be careful you choose a VP you can trust …in my mind that very very short list would include Colin Powell, Joe Biden, or Wesley Clark.

Mrs. Clinton says "now" she is ready to do "whatever it takes to put a democrat in the White house " N O W ?????????? Why didn't she start doing that by dropping out months ago. She did NOTHING TO HELP YOU !

Healing a political party is not as important as healing a country and a world .

Making an error here may obliterate all you have accomplished which has been spectacular and amazing.

You are not only our Candidate for change, but our only hope for restoration !

From a genuinely concerned 60 year old white male under $40K income with two eyes, two hands, two feet, and a burdened heart for America !

God Bless & Protect You, Mr. President

Ed, Santa Fe NM   June 3rd, 2008 9:10 am ET

NO CLINTONS ON THE OBAMA TICKET.... We've had enough of these elitist and nasty people.

Hillary can go suck an egg.
