I am a staunch Hillary supporter–there is really no way for her to win now. Obama is not going to be able to beat McCain without her and the ONLY way I will vote for Obama is if Hillary is on the ticket. If she is not on the ticket I, along with many, many, others, will vote for McCain. Obama cannot ignore Clinton, she has half of the Democratic Party in her pocket.

We are not contributing to the DNC anymore. They are plain OBAMA puppets. We are saving our funds in case Hillary runs as Independent.
GO HILLAR '08

I think that's a very sensible way to look at it – that they appeal to two different groups of demographics and neither should be slighted. It makes sense to not only get the support of all those people, but to fairly represent them. I've been against the idea of keeping the party together – political parties are meant to represent different ideas, if you don't agree, leave. But if there's a chance to make everyone feel included they have to take it.

Its looking like Clinton is very open to the possiblity now. And of course its because she's losing so don't even start picking on her. If half the partry thought she'd make a good President, she should be a fantastic VP.

I don't think Obama is qualified but with her help I'd feel better about it. And then there's no way I'd vote for McCain. They have plenty of time to patch things up and with their platforms being so similar they should be able to work together.

Obama should ask her.

The problem I have is the wish of Sen. Feinstein to have Clinton be the Vice President. With her scorched earth approach and her rants and raves against Obama rather than focusing in on issues, she has made her less and less appealing to everyone, except a few rabid fans. I'm sorry I was hesitant to consider her for VP before, but now I can't see her as VP except at the bottom of the short list and I'd find a few more names if it got to that.

Everyone should but out and let the process run. Go Hillary!!!

I think, its time to unite the democratic party; I belief for obvious reasons if McCain takes over as the president of the united states of America, the Democratic party will forever be divisive. Its time to unite

No to Hillary as Veep. Just my opinion. She represents old corrupt politics.

Why not Clinton/Obama '08

Please Post!

This society as a whole, is incapable of taking responsibility for it's own actions. This can be seen with the increase in frivolous lawsuits, and the inability for anybody to say I am sorry.

Hillary Clinton would have walked away with this nomination IF:

She said I am sorry, when appropriate
She didn't try to cheat (by changing the rules)
She didn't lie so easily. (Bosnia, with no apology)

Instead she blamed everyone else for her troubles, furthering the epidemic of "it's not my fault" in this society. Also furthering an inaccurate stereotype that women always blame someone else for their problems.

And today, her supporters continue that trend by blaming Obama/Obama supporters/turncoats/judas's and anyone lese they can blame for her demise.

Grow up and grasp the truth that people are repsonisble for their failures and successes.

The sooner Hillary comes to grips with this, the sooner she will be back!

I feel that everyone is forgetting that WE, the public do not elect a nominee. I feel that everyone is forgetting that the DNC at the DNC Convention, elects the nominee.

This primary season is in essence a big poll - one done so that the delegates (who can change their mind) can be shown who their district desires. The real campaign happens on the floor of the convention.

Oh, Hillary will take this to the Convention,,,,,afterall – I'm sure there is still a little Goldwater in her.

Yes finally the truth is here now. but better for her to continue for next camp. from now. #2? no! who wants her for this even?

DEMOCRATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE,NO MORE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!! VOTE DEMOCRATIC THIS FALL ELECTION IF YOU WANT YOUR GOVERNMENT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are a month behind the republicans for our bid for the presidency. The longer this draws out, the more that Clinton contradicts herself. She said she would do whatever it takes to get a Democrat in the White House. Well her refusal to abandon her White House bid is setting us back each and every day. I just hope Obama can make up the ground he has lost by this ridiculous race. I admire her conviction, but at some point, you need to face reality and know how far you actually are behind Mrs. Clinton and know that its next to impossible to come back.

Too much clinton baggage. We need Mayor Bloomber as VP

Let Obama and his "friends" at Trinity go down by themselves. You know, the ones who cheered and applauded the terrible remarks about America, whites and Senator Clinton. Save Clinton for 2012 when we Dems can REALLY win!

I agree Batman. Only Hillery can stop this madness. We still love her but she must go.

Obama lost the respect of millions of people so McCain will run him silly on the other hand Hillary has gained so much respect in the last months....She got a slow start due to media/ public wanting to make this a fighting circus which got out of hand but once people got over that it was too late. That is exactly why she gained so much strength at the end ...as soon as people realized that she was more well rounded candidate.

I take back that there will be a African American riot if Hillary got the nomination the general consensus today is that Hillary is a stronger, better, sounder, more centered person. The game has really changed but will the delegates and super delegates find the strength to stand up and own that……that is the real question.

Fool's rush in, where angel's fear to tread....

Monte

HRC was not scewed by anyone but herself. She surrounded herself with the wrong people, ran a bad campaign, used poor judgement, proven untrustworthy, went into debt. I expected better from someone with 35 years of experience. Have you been paying ATTENTION!!!!!!!!

Too late to unify !! Hillary Clinton...for the sake of the party and more important for the sake of the nation...do not concede !!....do not fall into their trap !!......Hussein Obama is toast in November anyway. He is not electable..plain and simple.

You got corrupt African American politicians and bribed surrogates whose only goal is to see a Black man in the White House , no matter what it takes. Their interested in history. The world isn't fooled by this.

If Americans really care about their nation and how its viewed around the world, they must stop this misguided force perpetuating these disturbing events thats destroying democracy.

There is absolutely no reason to rush anything to end. The will of the people have no end. Stand up America and do whats right. Do not be coerced and do not feel guilty. Stand with Hillary Clinton in the name of democracy and justice and for the common good of the USA.

As a California voter, I say Senator Feinstein has done a pretty crappy job representing her constituents. Clearly she is on the same "me, me, me" track that Hillary is on. No wonder she so adamantly supports her!.

When Clinton finally realizes that the nomination is gone, she'll start grasping at the VP straws. But it will be too late by then. She won't be able to survive the Republican attack machine in defending Obama in the VP debates: She"ll either be labeled a flip-flopper or a liar. Yes, Bush Sr. had to eat crow when he took the VP slot from Reagan after he called his economic plan "VooDoo". I think the level and severity of Hillary's attacks has left no room for her to back track as a VP. As a general Democrat, as a Senator, yes. As a member of Obama's ticket, no.

Dear Dianne

It is absurd to consider Hillary Clinton for the vice presidency.

Can't you just see her with little Obamie on her knee explaining to him the in's and out's of the presidency?

It is a nasty business–look at former presidents–didn't they look exhausted after they left office?

Hillary should let Obamie take care of himself now. He has all those handlers and helpers, doesn't he?

She would make a wonderful Secretary of State and be able to accomplish far more in foreign affairs than Obamie will ever accomplish as president.

PS–Is Obamie or isn't Obamie half white? Does he know it?

Obama can't win without Hillary...I say let him lose!

We are all beung set up. Clinton and her gang are not going to admit defeat tonight. It is a game to incite women voters by leaking that she will withdraw and then deny it and claim she is being pushed out. That way she will get women to turn out. At the same time she will depress the Obama vote by making people relax and perhaps not vote thinking it is over. This is not Clinton's moment and it is not not all about Hillary as the press has stated. It is Obama's night. He won. It has been a long and tough campaign. But, he has won not Clinton. She needs to withdraw like the other candidates did showing due respect for the Party and Obama.

I have never seen anything like this. One day it's who gets to 2025 first, the next day it's 2209, the next day it's 2118, the next day it's who has the most primary votes, the next day it's the most electoral votes, one day the rule is this, the next day the rule is that.....

Someone stand up and show some leadership!

Get your #*&^ together DEMOCRATS!

I hate to agree with Feinstein–she's a lousy Democrat–but in this case, she's right across the board.

No way as VP !

hillary is a cancer and slick willy is a tumor .

Yes finally the truth is here now. but continue for next camp. from now

Senator Feinstein is right. It is time for Clinton to drop out. We need to Unite the party. I would not have her as VP though, either Rendell or Edwards for that. But the one area where she would be the best would be Attorney General. She would be the best one to investigate Bush and all of his cronies for any war crimes and election crimes that there have been.

I think she should stay in and completely ruin what is left of this sorry party– and spend more money to show how wasteful she has been over the past six months... a true demoCRAP- spend millions that could have been used to help the people she claims to care for.,.. she is a PANT-SUIT SEA HAGG...

We, her supporters, are pushing her to stay in the race. It's just a matter of time until the truth about Nobama comes out. Then what do we do? She is doing it for all of us.

I understand some super delegates not declaring their support because of the position they may hold in the party, but most are calculating spineless jellyfish waiting to declare once it is politically safe. I hope that they get voted out when they come up for re-election. We need people that will make decisions based in conviction and courage.

If Barack Obama chooses Hillary Clinton as his running
mate, he immediately LOSES most of his support, period.

Including me...

Pick her, he loses the general election. Period...

I agree. I always wanted an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket anyway. Not just because they both bring a different constituency to the ticket but because they both have ideas to bring to the ticket that are very similar. The VP should be an attack dog and Hillary is the person for the job. If we are divided will be beaten. Together we will win..........

Imagine an interacial presidency no that is American........

Obama/Clinton 08

Your right Obama should conceded no Hillary, the voters have voted for her not him – BUYERS REMORSE people, Rev. Wright & Rev. Phleger

Treated unfaily is what I meant to say... I vote no for VP. She threw everything but the kitchen sink at Obama and he stayed grounded. She started crying after she losed in Iowa. Weak and I don't want her to be in ofice with Obama.

Vote McCain and this recession is going to get worse. Your children will be sent to an endless war and you can only blame yourself because of your prejudiceness and thinking Obama owes you. Please. Don't vote at all.

I'm a Hillary supporter. Barack Obama should choose who he thinks is the best Vice Presidential nominee.

I think it will be difficult for him not to realize that that person is Hillary Clinton.

So many Obama supporters are talking about hope and change, but when it comes to Hillary ... they are trash talking. And while Hillary supporters are not without their own faults, it's tough to imagine a campaign ticket based on hope and change that doesn't embrace all constituencies, as Diane Feinstein has pointed out.

I think it's time we band together behind both of these people.

Obama/Clinton, '08

Hillary is the one who can go up against McCain.

We want a Democrat for President.

Go Hillary!!

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree with Sen Feinstein that Hillary should concede, I ABSOLUTELY DISGREE with Senator Feinstein that Hillary should be Obama's Vice President. ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is mindboggling amazing how this woman, Hillary Clinton, and her husband Bill Clinton, can turn this campaign when they saw they were losing states, and at the end into total race baiting like he did in and like she did in West Virginia and Kentucky, and before and beyond, then turn around and say she is the stronger candidate because of her large margin win. So she won on racism, total division of America is the way she wanted it, just so she could win, and she truly thought that would get her into the white house, and so did Bill Clinton. Well, that is not a win by any stretch. It is division, segregation and hatred. And Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton are doing the same thing in South Dakota, as they visit the little white counties in the state. I believe both Hillary and Bill hate Obama and that neither one of them should be on his ticket or in his cabinet.!!

Sharon MN and Bayou Jack- We get it...your not going to vote for Obama...I think everyone on this message board knows who you are voting for. Can we at least say good bye to you? The 1/3rd of HRC supporters are going to vote for McCain.....so what. We have made up that 1/3rd by pissed off Republicans that can not stand McCain and are voting against him for the same reasons why you are voting against Obama. So we do not need your 5,893rd post that proclaims your alliance with McCain...excuse us true democrats who have some healing to do with the higher intelligent HRC supporters.

I don't think Clinton will give up without the 2210 number.She will once again move the goalpost.The superdelegates are afraid to make their voice heard by coming forward.They want to hide till tomorrow.The longer these so called superdelegates hide the more angry the people are becoming.It seems that these superdelegates are the ones dividing the party.It's time to pull the party together with a candidate today.You should all vote blindly as we do and not be allowed to wait to back the winner after all the states have voted.Also the American people might like to go in and change our original vote but we cannot.We have to stop the Republicans and we also need to change this system which has caused such a division.

Are we democrats proud of ourselves yet?

We trashed and bashed, insulted and ridiculed the stronger Female candidate.... just so we could install the weaker and unqualified Black candidate.

In a party that can not lose in the GE, we made sure that we installed the ONE candidate- so empty, so inexperienced and so unqualified- that he CAN lose in the GE.

Do I need to say more!

This really shows how mentally ill Hillary is.

She would be dangerous as commander in chief. She's unable to deal in reality. Throughout her campaign she lied, told tall tales and could never admit her wrongs. These are the worst characteristic of any leader nevertheless, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Judgment is not Hillary's strong suit.

i agree that old girl needs to stop the madness, i don't agree that she should be on the ticket. i despise her.

but Feinstein, if you and the other politicians can see what so clearly in front of your noses, i am really concerned.

it is painfully obvious that this woman is a liar and has every intention to try and destroy the party and its nominee. why can't you see that?

Senator Clinton is blind and deaf. Her only goal "obliterate" the party.

I want BARACK and HILLARY to run together! It will do wonders for our country and the world!

OBAMA/CLINTON 08

Please! we need you both! Please just find a way to shut Bill Clinton up!

Why, Dianne? Hillary does not have to end her campaign. Hillary could run as Independent and win big in November. Sorry:(. Definitely, Hillary supporters are not supporting Obama. If HIllary does not run as Independent, then, McCain gets our votes.
GO HILLARY '08 AS INDEPENDENT!!!!!

Obama. Do not help pay for Clinton's campaign debt. That's blackmail..

She can pay off her own debt.

NO HILLARY AS VP. Obama won this primary fair and square and he should be able to decide who he wants as VP. Regardless if the Dems lose in NOV or not, Obama should have decision to make a choice.

Vote Obama and Elect McCain

Feinstein says "There are women all over the country and particularly in my state of California who think she has not been treated fairly."

****************************************************************************

Where have you been Sen. Feinstein over the last year-and-a-half? That sounds like a Hillary Clinton campaign talking point. Are most Americans so ignorant or forgetful, that they can only remember the past month or so of politics? Hillary was the media darling when she announced her bid for presidency up until the Philadelphia debate in October 2007 when she had her flip-flop on driver licenses for illegal immigrants!

Once Hillary lost Iowa, her campaign tone started to change from Bush-bashing incumbent nominee talk to Obama as the "black" candidate. After Super Tuesday, Hillary's campaign became negative as Obama stacked up 11 straight wins. When Hillary's campaign saw that negative campaigning against Obama works to a degree, they did more until it repelled Democratic party leaders and the majority of the electorate.

Ferraro started this sexism charge in which the Hillary campaign has gladly picked up on in the last few weeks. If Hillary was leading in pledged delegates and total delegates, does anyone think Hillary and her surrogates would be complaining about sexism?!

Obama has consistently attempted to distance himself from the issue of race in this campaign, saying early on, if he fails to connect with voters is not because of race it is because of not reaching them on the issues. It is only when the media forced Obama to address Rev. Wright's statements did the issue force Obama to confront the state of race relations in America and where we should go forward.

Hillary had never discussed sexism the way that Obama did with racism. Hillary simply followed up on Ferraro's tone of complaining about it. How is Hillary supposed to deal with world leaders from Russia, North Korea, and Iran? Complaining about sexism as leader of the free world will not cut it!

How can Clinton be named as a VP candidate AND need to come out supporting Obama after all she has done to attack him at every opportunity she had in these Primaries?

How can she go through these Primaries NOT agreeing with him on many issues and suddenly expect to sing from his book?

These are double-standards, contradictory and make a farce out of the process.

If she felt she was better in the first place, she should not be given the opportunity to "switch". It shows how two-faced (maybe ten-faced)politics (in general) can be.

Clinton should not be named as the VP candidate at all.
Can the American public not see that?

I certainly hope the Obama camp see that and if it HAS TO be, then she should be held on a very short leash!

Another chink in the Clinton armour. Will she listen?

If Senator Clinton had treated Senator Obama with respect during the campaign I might support what Feinstein suggests (both on the ticket). However, Clinton made that an impossibility by the way she campaigned. Making references to his "just speeches" and "lack of experience" etc. Not only was it not true, but it showed that she completely lacks character. So I hope, based on principle, he will not chose her. He is deserving of having a trustworthy VP. I hope Feinstein and other heavy weight Dems think about that before they get on the airwaves saying they should be on the same ticket. You can't restore America's morality and have the two of them on the same ticket.

Yeah but why does no one care about Obama's base, which is larger than Clinton's? If he puts Clinton on the ticket he loses his base while putting her on the ticket does not guarantee him gaining hers. I wish her surrogates would stop with this Clinton for VP talk if they want unity. Don't they realize that he doesn't have to pick her and if they constantly say he should it would cause more disunity? I am ashamed to be a woman after watching the women this primary season. Men say we are too emotional and it has shown. I think a woman is ready to be VP but Lord knows it's not HRC. Not ever.

What MANY DEMOCRATS don't get....the Democrats that vote Clinton are the Democrats that want EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

Obama's own record shows he has none! That is why McCain looks better to middle of the road Democrats....WHY DOESN"T ANYONE GET THAT??????????

Feinstein is another old windbag that needs to retire. BO would have to be a fool to choose Hillary as VP – can you imagine Bill as First Gentleman of the US? He's an angry old man with a big mouth and the world is just beginning to see that the Clinton emperor really has no clothes. You can only be in the right place at the right time for so long and for the Clinton's: the fat lady has just sung (sorry Ms. Feinstein – no pun intended!)

She's not gonna concede tonight...

Profile of the Sociopath:

8. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature: believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others;

Hillary should be long gone in the first place, but we all can understand that her movement is to try to make her point that she is the well electable canditate. Now, we all know that it is not in the best interest of the American people for her to be the cammander in chief at this time. What's next? It is time to unified the party. Nothing beyond. If there's still something beyond, we can say that that's only for destruction and she is doing something in her best shot to make McCain the November Nominee.

Hillary, you are hurting America. Please put your ego aside and let progress move forward. You're part of the old way of doing things, let's bring back hope. The Clintons and Bush's have extinguished hope. Tend to your husband, save your marriage, give up this delusional fight for the white house. It's over...

If Senator Obama puts Hillary on the ticket as VP, he would lose a lot of the independent vote. He would also lose the Republicans who are planning on voting for him in Nov., the Obamacans. After what I've seen of Hillary Clinton, no way do I want her one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

obama should pick who ever he wants as his VP. The same opportunity that was given to the candidates before him. Is Hillary due special consideration because she is a women cadidate? She has not earned the right to be the VP, due to her behavior.

The REASON there are women in this country that beleive she hasn't been treated fairly is because Hillary and Bill have been complaining as such.

It has never been true, and in fact was the main reason we all were saying she should have conceded earlier – because she would damage the party and Obama with false claims of sexism, popular vote nonsense, hard working "white" supporters, cover ups, etc.

The great responsibility of having so many followers is to truly lead them and she has not. She has irresponsibly lied to them and caused harm to the party that unfortunately for us only she can repair.

It would be a shame to be forced by such tactics to pick her as the VP -but that may be the strategy.

She is no leader – and that has NOTHING to do with her gender.

Wake up people. Rewind all the garbage she has spewed in this campaign. I respect her effort, but not her character. She and her lackies can say anything with a straight face and that is very telling.

Tonight she will have a great opportunity to acknowledge the historic nomination of Barack Obama. She will have the opportunity to gracefully step aside and allow him to address the nation as the first African American nominee for President with her full endorsement.

She will have the opportunity to PROVE she is the leader she has claimed to be all along.

How many of you believe that will happen?

Senator Obama has the right to select a VP of his choice. No one, including Feinstein has the right to insist that Senator Clinton is automatically selected as the VP.

No one, including all of the white males who have been successful in the primary has been forced to include someone not of their choosing. Even the ones selected went through a political process and selected a VP candidate not of their liking.

Again, stop trying to take this away from Senator Obama. He won the right to select his on VP.

Hilliary will never stop. The Clinton's have not suffered a political defeat since the 80's. The party and the DNC must step in now and end this, failure to do so will ensure the Replublicans the White House.

I don't get why the supers have waited so long to cast their votes. Clinton didn't have the numbers needed to win for months now. This delay has only served to divide the party and fester the ire of Clinton's supporters, who have been falsely fed the line that she could still win.

And please, Diane, no VP spot for Clinton. She is sure to drag Obama's campaign down with her prickly personality just as she has done to her own campaign. It's a very bad idea, and would cause me to rethink my support of Obama were he to choose her.

Feinstein your judgement TOO is in question

HRC shows poor judgement

and putting her & Bill back into the WH next to Obama

would show that he has poor judgement too

Women who think this campaign is sexist are nutcases!

I am an older struggling woman

there is nothing sexist about HRC's scandalous background and flakey experience.

She is dumb. I don't how they keep saying that she was treated unfairly. Save me all the BS that it was because she was a woman. Thats what they wanted to say. There is no evidence of that. Just because HRC didn't get her way thats why she is hollering. It is so funny how her supporters are talking about supporting McCain.LMAO.
HRC was the one who said that the votes in FL and MI didn't matter after they were stripped. All of a sudden she needed them and started playing her supporters. You guys amaze me beyond the eye. If you vote McCain you are only hurting yourself. No I don't want her as VP. She showed her true colors in this campaign. She only thinks about herself. I swear she would try to do harm to Obama if she is VP. Guess who makes president.

Wake up HRC supporters she said it out of her own mouth that those two states didnt matter!!! Now that she is losing she is getting triend unfairly? Prejudice and bold liars you are

Blah blah blah, yeah Billary should have quit months ago, old news. The real story is that I finally agree with Dick Cheney on something... That West Virginians are inbreed. Maybe he's not as bad as I thought. It's nice to see a major politician recognize a state's population for what it truly is... redneck, racist, white trash, poor, stupid, ignorant, inbreed sheep rapers.

Clinton is ready to concede – Clinton is not ready to concede...
What is it now?- Could she please make up her mind? If this will be seen outside the US people are going to laugh again. If this is the way she wants to make politics in the future the rest of the world can really reIy on her... I bet Jay Leno, David Letterman etc. are going to have a great time tonight...

People keep saying... "clinton can bring the good old days back, like her husband did." Thats all fine and dandy, but how about some "good new days"? Obama was elected by the superdelagates and the people where as Clinton was just elected by the people. Who's the better choice?

Go Obama!!!!

... Hillary is NO VP for you or me ...!!!

Clinton is having a breakdown. She will need counseling after this. Bill is too far gone.

Sen. Obama may face a tough decision.
I do not believe that Hillary will make a good VP for Obama's presidency. Too strong character and too many baggages. Insider of Washington for a long time. Even if Democrat wins the election, Obama's presidency will be shadowed by two Old Washington politicians with tough characters.
As a middle-age woman, I believe Hillary has been treated much better than other candidates because of his husband. Please stop making a big deal of sexism. If women really want a woman president, they should wait for a candidate who build her career as a politician by herself from the scratch like Sen. Obama. Those candidates will really deserve people's respect and the presidency of the US.

Loose cannons can sink a ship

hillary and ger hubby Billy boy are probbaly the most stubborn losers , its time to pack it in and go on afishing trip

that's a wise view

Ridiculous!!!

Yes, they represent two different constituencies, but that's not to say that Senator Clinton hasn't done everything she could to ensure those two constituencies stayed separate.

Why invite as VP, the person who has single handedly questioned your ability to lead, your experience, and mocked your message at ever opportunity?

Well folks its comming down to the super delegates!!! NO ONE is going to get the magic number with the voices of US. THE PEOPLE. WHO THE HELL GAVE THESE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY VOTED IN THEIR PRIMARIES THE RIGHT TO TAKE OUR VOICES AWAY. JOHN KERRY TED KENNEDY, TWO EXAMPLES OF HOW THIS ELECTION IS FLAWED. THIS ELECTION IS NO BETTER THAN 2000. I COMMEND HC FOR STICKING IN THERE DESPITE ALL THE RACIST IN HER PARTY. ALL THE SEXIST REMARKS. SHE DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THE GOOD OLD BOYS. SHE DOES AS AN INDEPENDENT. SHE DOSENT OWE THIS PARTY ANYTHING. THEY WILL BLAME HER IF BARACK IS CAUGHT SMOKING CRACK. THEY HATE HER IN HER PARTY. NO MATTER IF SHE CAMPAIGNS HER LITTLE HEART OUT, SHE WILL BE IN THEIR EYES THE REASON THE PARTY IS SPLIT. BUT LETS FACE IT, THE MEDIA HAS BEEN PUSHING HER OUT SINCE IOWA. WHO THE HELL GAVE IOWA ALL THE POWER ANYWAY, THATS A JOKE. OUR VOTES DISENFRANCHISED, OBAMA HAS A TON OF SECRETS, HIS LAUNDRY HASNT EVEN MADE IT INTO THE HAMPER YET, HE IS NEVER GONNA WIN. HE BLEW OFF WOMAN LATINOS WORKING WHITES. BY THE WAY STOP CALLING HIM BLACK. HES MILLOTO, HE IS HALF WHITE, EVEN THOUGH HE DOSENT SEEM TO RECOGNIZE OR EMBRACE IT. SUPER DELEGATES SHOULD WAIT. BUT THEY WONT. HILARY SUSPEND YOUR CAMPAIGN AND THEN RUN AS INDEPENDENT WE WILL STICK BY YOU. WE PROMISE.

As a Kenyan living in Kenya what Obama is doing over in the States fills me with lots of pride.Working with Hillary will be a sign of maturity on both their cases, an added impetus to the party's march to the white house and a healing change from the current cataclysmic status of U.S. policy..

Funny how democrats want Obama to be the nominee for the sake of the party.

Republicans don't want Obama to be the nominee for the sake of the country.

Priorities.

No Ms. Feinstein... The two candidates constituents are NOT knocking each other's heads...

HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE VERBALLY EVISCERATING OBAMA SUPPORTERS.

The hate from hillary's people is tangible..... and thus... scary.

LETS SEE WHO WINS THE POPULAR VOTE!

Enough said...

Well, Well, I remember the they I made the tough decision of crossing the Party line to vote against Jimmy
Carter, going in favor of our late President Ronald Reagan.
Why? The Democratic Party took too long to find the solucion on how to get our Nationals (all diplomatis) out of Iran. 444 days are a lot of days ! When are we going to learn to move faster. I want to say no more, but those Honorable Delegates or Super Delegates should ACT NOW !. AMERICA AND WHOLE WHORLD IS WAITING !Thank you.

All the way to the convention!!!

This race is over. It's time for Senator Clinton to begin to work with Senator Obama to unite the party. I believe as long as she continues to fight, her supporters will see it as a betrayal to back Obama. She has to let them go.

Good luck to her.

Before she goes she needs to mend fences with Obama.

She was the first to call him an elitist (knowing what that title means in politics before Mc Cain or anyone else.
She was the first to call him unelectable before Mc Cain.
She was the first to call him inexpereinced.

As for the women's vote please watch how Obama treats his wife and family, with love and respect a lot more than we can say about the Clintons. We need some family values in the white house (remember the impeachment proceedings) which Obama never brought up.
A lot of top level positions in the Obama campaign are held by women , you can tell he respects all people.

Please talk him up as he deserves

Open your eyes DNC and party leaders.

I did not vote for Bush twice- he was unqualified, had no experience, was cocky, arrogant, dismissive, boastful, mocking and jeering others all the time. He rode a wave of popularity to the presidency without any merits or accomplishments. I saw his as an empty vessel.

I will not vote for Obama- who is just the left wing version of Bush- just out of frustration with republican reign.

BS – Hillary has the popular vote.
TRUTH – Only if the caucus states are not counted AND Obama is awarded 0 votes in MI. Does anyone really believe that 0 people support Obama in MI? Count FL and MI but don't count the caucus states?

Dukakis vs Bush 1988 = Bush
Gore vs Bush 2000 = Bush(Gore really won, but the one with the most votes obviously doesn't win in this country)
Kerry vs Bush 2004 = Bush

Obama vs McCain 2008 = McCain

Obama can't do this without Hillary. Of course many Obama supporters think they alone are the entire population of the US who will be voting come November and everyone will vote for Nobama simply because he says "change". Get real. How could Gore lose against Bush? How could Kerry lose against Bush after all the resentment against Bush in 2004? Simple. There's alot more people out there who have different beliefs than yourself who will vote for the other person. Not everyone has fallen for the sugar rush Obama gives you with his Koolaid. I didn't fall for it and neither did so many other people. Some actually vote for the PERSON they think would do a better job being President and not simple words or what a party philosophy supposedly is.

So.. I'll either write in Hillary or vote for McCain if Hillary is not the VP. So will many others.. Why? Because this is about being President of the United States. Not about who gives the best speeches about trying to make you think they will create Utopia in this country. Nice dream, but not a possible reality.

I'm sorry but it too much hard feel and the Clintons has too much baggage that the Republican will stomped Obama on –then she can run in 2012 if he lose. I say NOPE.

YES SHE IS A FIGHTER AND WILL ALWAYS BE. HOWEVER, NO VP SLOT. SHE IS TOO GOOD FOR #2. IF SHE IS TAPPED FOR THE VP SLOT, SHE SHOULD JUST BRUSH HIM OFF JUST LIKE HE DID TO HER DURING ONE OF HIS SPEECHES.

I'm from California, a latin women and in no way do I want Mrs. Clinton on the ticket as VP. I'm disgusted with the way she has carried herself in the face of adversity. As a registered independent I countdn't vote in the Dem. primaries in Feb. now I wish I had.

This woman should really read the Consitution, before talking about 'puting the ticket together'.

VP's choise is not up to her, Clinton or her husband, it's up to the nominee.

And the nominee will be determined tonight.

I used to believe I would support Obama if HRC didn't get the nomination, but I could never quite get comfortable with the idea, even though I support having a Democrat for president. The problem is, whether she is asked to be the VP or not, I just can't do it. Obama asks us to question Clinton's decision-making skills because of her vote to authorize war, but I have many more concerns over Obama's decision-making skills, when I consider that Obama stayed with his church for twenty years, and worked while in the senate to give hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to the church communities of Wright and Pflegar. I can think of better, less *divisive* communities that work to support humanitarian efforts, to support with taxpayer dollars.

I'll be writing in Clinton, before I vote for Obama (or McCain)

has anyone actually done the math about total votes hillary keeps saying that she has the popular vote but she doesn't total votes cast counts up this way according to msnbc poll numbers for each state obama has 17,310,205 hillary has 17,108,088 that is giving hillary all votes cast for her including florida and michigan and counting florida for obama and not mich. as he wasn;t on ballot

Sen. Feinstein we(our country and democrats)appreciate your words of wisdom asking Sen. Clinton to end her campaign and support Sen. Obama who has won fair and square. This support needs to be in more than just words but in a concession speech and actions afterwards that will help the healing. I personally feel that part of Sen. Clinton's finding her voice after losing 11 Primaries in a row was the "their picking on me" and the race connotations which have been very divisive. Sen. Clinton needs to help out a lot in healing this division she did help create.

Well...both candidates ran hard...and ran long. I have respect for their fortitude. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning...but I refuse to trash talk Clinton like so many people will sink to doing. The idea of a mixed ticket was somewhat upsetting to me as I watched some of the things that Clinton said and did...but I would have to say that IF she goes out and really proves that her intent is to unite the party and not just "Get second place job"....then I think the whole notion of a mixed ticket would be renewed in my mind....

We will see...

So... how about it everyone?? Can we be friends again?

BS – Barack and Michelle Obama are closet muslims who hate America just like Rev. Wright.
TRUTH – Rev. Wright is a pastor of the CHRISTIAN Trinity Church, who does NOT speak for the Obamas.

I hate this Bit$$

Don’t give up don’t give in Hillary. If I cannot vote for you it will be McCain. I cannot in good conscious vote for a racist socialist like Obama for president.

Thank you for calling an end to Hillary's long good bye, Diane. However, Hillary would be a terrible choice for Obama's VP for the myriad reasons already spoken by countless commentators to this website. If Obama needs to reach out to the Hillary supporters (which he does), he should tap someone without Hillary's baggage and negatives, such as a swing state governor–Strickland or Rendell–and maximize the political value of that choice. Bill Richardson also should be at the top of the list–swing state, real foreign policy experience (unlike Hillary), and appeal to Hispanics.

Blah blah blah! Endorse Obama then she'll wake up!

BS – Hillary has the popular vote.
TRUTH – Only if the caucus states are not counted AND Obama is awarded 0 votes in MI. Does anyone really believe that 0 people support Obama in MI? And what about the caucus states? Count FL and MI but not the caucus states?

Absolutely NOT!!!

I think HRC should dump the DNC and run as independent.

Diana YOU HAVE JUST LOST MY SUPPORT, VOTE, AND MONEY

HOW DARE YOU TRY TO FORCE HILLARY OUT.....

obama still DOES NOT have the delegates to win!

I ALREADY QUIT THE DEM PARTY
NOW THESE DEMS, 1 BY 1 ARE LOSING MY SUPPORT

Thank you barack w. bush for dividing this party

why are hillary's political supporters behaving as if the obama campaign owes hillary a vp slot. hillary is not owed anything. she has run a seedy, sinister, and quite frankly diabolical capaign and has only been interested in winning by slander.

she has stayed in the race not to "stand tall", but to try to win or at least to prevent obama from winning. Hillary will undermine obama if she's the vp behind his back, and he'd better be smarter than caving to the pressure of her supporters to include her on the ticket. She's evil.

A few nights ago the buzzer sounded, the Lakers had beaten the Spurs… The teams hugged and shook hands. The Spurs congratulated the new Western Conference Champs and then exited the court gracefully. Although the defending champs felt they should have won the series, the number said otherwise. Did they sick around and whine about the big no call in game 4? NO. They simply took the defeat and realized it was not their year to be the champs. Hillary, take note… this is not your year to become the champ. A new younger team is ready to take the throne, so just hug them, shake their hands, and wish your opponent the best of luck in the 2008 finals.

Bill is way too much baggage. Why cant he keep his zipper and his mouth closed?

I think each has treated unfairly to an equal degree.

Obama's flag pin caused a lot of noise. But, the pins that McCain and Clinton frequently do not wear was totally ignored.

Clinton has been the target of some sexist comments and opinions. But, didn't she declare it herself, "I am woman. Hear me roar."

Obama's pastor issues stayed in the media because there was really nothing else to be critical over.

Clinton didn't started getting the bad sexist comments until after she made the elitist accusation. It's not in my speaking vocabulary.

I agree with her. She is not sexist or part of a 'conspiracy'.

CNN, why is your coverage Clinton, Clinton, Clinton with pictures all over the place, but very little Obama coverage, with no pictures of him?

Waiting for the usual blathering from the Obamites. Usual content: mindless platitudes, rude comments, ignorant remarks, socialistic rants. Which will it be????

Ps no real backer would say such a thing if they are for the people!

there is no room for hillary in the future of America. GO AWAY.

She needs to concede in a mannerful way. She is behaving very badly right now. And her husband is running around talking dirt and still finger-pointing at other people while reports show that he is romancing the world. This is just not the Clinton I loved in the 90s.

She can't save face now,,, she has already lost respect of many. Here are my office, very few women like her. She is just not likable unless you are not learned, racist or uninformed. People that can do research and not depend on CNN and FOX will vote on issues and not petty crap.

I actually agree with Feinstein. I have had real problems with the Clintons during this campaign–and Bill, in particular, does scare me. But I have also been very, very troubled by the mean-spiritedness of many Obama supporters. I truly believe(d) that Obama's "new politics" is based on empathy, bringing people together, resisting the Jerry Springer-ish incivility that has marred American politics (and American society generally). The venom that too many Obama supporters have spouted about Senator Clinton is troubling–and yes, often sexist, which is really appalling considering that Obama's groundbreaking candidacy is a rejection of past bigotry.

So by choosing Senator Clinton as his running mate, Obama could be a great role model, demonstrating that he can unite with Clinton and her supporters. I won't blame Obama if he does not do this–the Bill factor may be too high a hurdle to leap over. But if Obama can pull this off–and keep Bill at bay–it could be a great moment for this country.

I LOT of us won't ever vote for Obama! Keep that in mind lady.

As much I admire Hilirary Clinton for her gutsy campain, I also think now is the best time for her to concede. You don't to look too deparate. The Democrats must remain untied for the good of the USA.
The whole world is watching!

Yes Obama, after Bush may be as qualified and as capable as an Ape.

And yes, EVEN Obama, may be able to sleep-walk his way into the white house, after the country is so sick and tired of 8 Bush years.

But why not actually vote for and elect a true leader, with actual qualifications? Why not vote for the VERY best, rather than bank on the people voting for anyone BUT the Republican?

If either one of these Democratic candidates truly believe in unity, now is the time for Hillary to step aside and show her support of the young Senator from Illinois. However, in return, now is the time for the young Senator to embrace Hillary and her supporters. Democrats across this country, remember one thing, if the Republic Party can divide us because of pride, inequality, or simply plain ignorance, they have won. I urge all of you to put aside your differences, look at what this country has been through the past eight years, and unite to recreate what has been destroyed. Awake West Virginians, did you not hear how your Vice President refers to ALL of you? Now he is claming to be sorry for his remark, but he knew darn good well that he was insinuating that all of you were inbred or he would not have added at the end of his statement that he did not really have to worry any more about what he said as he was not running for election. The true colors of the Republican Party are displayed for the world to see, and I suggest you embrace Senator Byrd and Senator Rockefeller as they endeavor to correct the injustices the American people have experienced the past eight years.

Well I think in her mind she knows that it is over but some of so called advisers will tell her not admit it officialy.this what mark penn did to her the same advice that got her into this.

I guess Senator Fienstien is saying that in the eyes of the super delegates, race should trump gender..........What a sell out, being a supposed Clinton supporter

I will never have to apologize for voting for Obama. I think many Democrats feel this way and will not vote for him this fall. If Hillary is on the ticket as VP I will have to think about it but I am not for sure i would vote for him still. I fell that he has been shoved down our throats by the media and the heads in the DEM party. I do not like that and I have always been the type to reject something even more, if I think someone is not giving me a choice. One thing I know for sure is he will lose by himself , the only way he can win is with her as the VP.

Yeah, we're going to end it ,when we are on top! Until that happens it's on-going til someone crosses the line. We have the Popular vote! Tell Obama to end it...............We've beat him! Or I should say Rev Wright and Father Pfleger pulled him back down,where he came from!

"Obama went on to praise his Senate colleague from New York as "an extraordinary candidate, and an extraordinary public servant. . . . She would be on anyone's short list of vice presidential candidates. But beyond that, I don't want to offer an opinion."

Translation: She is on everyone's short list , but mine.

I thought Bill was the egomaniac in that family. I was terribly, terribly wrong. I watched him try to end this thing the night they lost Indiana, and last night as well.

What's worse is that her supporters refuse to accept that she was soundly and fairly defeated.

When McAuliffe, and Ickies, and Hillary, and Maggie, and the others all write their books and confirm that they screwed this up badly, Hillary's rabid, bitter supporters will finally realize they were wrong. I wonder if they will apologize...

How you lose is a key indicator of who and what you are. Indication so noted!

Hillary proven that she is the fighter and She will be the best president. Do not quit HIllary!

Yes it is, I just hope her other supporters see the light....... It's time to change the world people.......... All those in favor say yeah......

If Hillary truely cares for our country and the Democratric Party
she will pull out of the race.
She has done so much to destroy the unification of the
party she should stop and start trying to unite.
It is time to put ego aside, to admit the anything to win
campaign did not win and bow out gracefully, if that can
still be done.

Please tell me why it is that Sen Obama can't make his own choice for VP. Every other candidate has been able to make that choice.

Stop telling him what he needs to choice her. If he decides to do that, I am all forward. Give him the option!!!!!

Go OBAMA!!!!

She must be getting pressure from Pelosi – who wants her guy named....but let the primaries complete! Clinton will have the popular vote of the people and Obama may have the delegates of the DNC.........but the people will have their say!

Keep in mind, Obama will only be the PRESUMPTIVE nominee for the Democratic Party – he will not be the nominee until the votes are in at the convention!!! There is alot of time between now and then. Who knows what can happen!

Senator Clinton, please just put your candidacy into suspension for now! The power of the people who voted for you and continue to support you will carry the day!

The Vice Presidency is not and should not be "lets make a deal." If shes on the ticket I personally will vote for McCain. I am sick and tired of hearing about Hillary's claim and equally annoyed by Bill's continued antics!

Sen. Feinstein does not speak for me. I am a woman in California (over 50, white) who thinks that Clinton has been treated more than fairly. If the positions had been reversed, Obama would have been forced out of the race months ago. I've always agreed that she should be given the grace to complete the race through the final contests (today), and that this needs to be wrapped up quickly now. I think, however, that it would be a big mistake for Clinton to be the Vice Presidential nominee. It would give the Republicans major ammunition against the ticket and Bill would constantly be getting in the way. Hillary can be considered for a multitude of other positions on the cabinet where she could do much good, but NOT as a Vice President.

Why is it that people are so fearful that Hillary will do the wrong thing? Could it be that she has consistently shown that she holds herself above all else – and even her staunchest supporters are trying to remind her gently that there is more to the party. People talk as though the Cintons have be the target of media bias, when all they have been the target of is the media – and everyone else wondering how they could possibly be so self absorbed – even to the detriment of the Party. I suspect it is getting more and more difficult to defend. What is the most frustrating is the way the Clinton's control the spin. One would think from all they hear, that there is actual media bias against them – when in fact they have had a free ride – while attacking others from all sides. Look at the two campaigns over the past several months – nothing but Praise for Hillary from Obama – nothing but put-downs from Hillary toward Obama. I hope it is within her to step back and see – but I think they both believe what Bill said yesterday about Obama.... Sad indeed. Well, she has powerful friends – I hope they can get through to Hillary

Well I think in her mind she knows that it is over but some of so called advisers will tell her not admit it officialy.this what mark penn did to her the same advice.

I believe that Clinton supporters who truly respect what Clinton stands for will vote for Obama in November. Those who say that they would rather vote for McCain in the general are saying this in spite and are being a disservice to Clinton and to the Democratic party. Luckily Obama will win in November, otherwise come January 2009 these individuals would only have themselves to blame as our great nation continued to slide down the Global standings in terms of our economy, education, medical well-being and international respect. If you believe in what Clinton stands for then it is time to unite to make Obama an even more dominating candidate to solidify a strong senate with his down-ticket influence. All the close senate races except for NH and NM (where Obama runs well as well) are in States which favor Obama, there are no close senate races in the rust belt states. Sorry Clinton supporters, but for down ticket senate races Obama is clearly the better candidate, otherwise I think either Obama or Clinton would beat McCain so really raw electability is NOT the issue here. Help create a government where Clinton will still be able to propose bills like Universal health-care to a 60-40 senate backed by a democrat president and a democratic house majority! To propose anything less would be to do a great disservice to Hillary and the democratic party and would only serve as a reminder as to why American politics in general drives low turn-out and is more based on petty character arguments and swift boating rather then on issues and policy. If a flip flop vote from Hillary to McCain is what some truly believe would be a respectful way to honor Hillary's primary race, then I think that they have completely missed the point of why she was running in the first place. On the issues I'm 100% confident that Hillary is much more in line with Obama then with McCain and a continuation of the Bush policies. Vote with your head, vote Obama!

Thanks for reading,

Erick

She needs to end it before the Party ends it for her on a negative note.

I think people should stop trying to tell Obama who he should pick for Vice President. If he thinks Clinton can help him then so be it. If he thinks another person would help him then that's his call. True Democrats should fall in line behind the nominee no matter who he chooses for VP.

Hillary supporters have made it perfectly CLEAR they would not vote for a ticket that Obama is on so why are people still talking about this joint ticket. Hillary supporters can't stand Obama so what excately would be the point.

If Senator Obama reaches the magic number tonight, he should move on to the general election campaign whether Hillary concedes or not. Obama is so far ahead in pledged delegates that there's no way that Hillary can convince enough of the remaining superdelegates to support her. Her latest broadcast that she won't be conceding tonight just goes to show that she doesn't seriously intend to support Obama. She's doing whatever it takes to keep herself in the spotlight, extort from Obama a vice-presidential position, or sabotage him for 2012.

Nor do I agree that Obama should choose Clinton as his vice-president. Her political campaign was run 180 degrees differently from his. Further, Obama has shown that he makes decisions according to what he believes, rather than what is politically expedient. As a boomer-aged white female, I'd love to see a woman on the ticket, but not a woman who practices gutter politics. I used to be a supporter of the Clintons, but, as a woman, it's more important to me to think for myself rather than do what is expected based upon my gender. Isn't that true feminism?

Before the end of the day, I hope that enough of the superdelegates will back Obama to send a clear message to the American people: Senator Obama is the Democratic nominee.

I DO NOT THINK THAT HILLARY SHOULD BE IN THE TICKET AND OBAMA WILL WIN WITHOUT HILLARY AND HER VOTERS. I WOULD NOT THINK IN THE TIME WE ARE LIVING THAT IF ANYONE WHO IS A HUMAN BEING WOULD OVERLOOK THE PROBLEM WE ARE FACING, WOULD VOTE FOR MCCAIN. LET THEM GO AHEAD AND NOT VOTE BECAUSE EVERYONE IS ECJOEING THERE WOULD NOT BE A REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

If it would mean an absolute blowout against the republicans and McBush, I would hold my nose and say Hillery for VP.

The country is in such a bad way, that Obama can sleep-walk his way into the presidency.

she has not benn treated fairly???? OH BOO HOO

GO SUCK AN EGG

and NO VP FOR THE CLINTONS

I feel Hillary would loose a lot of ground if she supports Obama after all he will crash and everyone will say on 2012 remember Hillary was a Obama supporter and look where that got us….
Hillary Clinton gave a clean race and she should remain centered on what she believes which is nothing that supports the Obama plan.
She will come out a winner at the end by waiting it out on the bench until her time comes….

She won't listen to you.I am sure she will continue to campaign after
today.She's saturated with her concept of entitlement.Besieds,Obama
reserve the right to opt for his own VP without any interferance.nobody should force anybody down his throat.

NO WE ARE GOING TO WRITE HER IN NOV.

I believe that Feinstein instead of saying that it is time for Hillary to concede, that she could rally herself and others, and get behind Hillary Clinton, who we all know is the stronger candidate to beat McCain in November, and be our next President.

The media has been totally unfair to Hillary Clinton in the coverage and comments, while Brack Hussein Obama has been their "Golden Boy"! What a joke!!!!

If Barack Hussein Obama does become the nominee, the party will lose come November and will lose the White House!

If we want to regain our position in the world, as being the best country, then we need to have Hillary Clinton be the nominee and come November, beat McCain, and re-take the White House!

Just got my NEW INDEPENDENT registration card!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bye Bye Democratic PARTY! You want BO, you can have him....by November you can put him on the list of losers for the democratic ticket....
McGovern
Carter...big time loser, what did he win 2 states in his second attempt?
Mondale
Dukakis
Gore
Kerry

I hope to heck Bill and Hillary Clinton start a new Independent party, start their own news organization, and RUN in November. BTW, CNN, you suck big time.

I've said it before.
Obama CAN win.
After Bush, an Ape could do better.
That is why I'm voting for Obama.

Yes, I agree. And for the first time in my life, I will vote as a Republican.

The Clinton-as-victim rationale for VP is truly insane. Obama won and therefore should be unencumbered in his choice (if this is not the case, please articulate why he should be seen as "less than" other winners). Also, her Kennedy comment, which equaled reckless endangerment, completely disqualified her.

Bad idea. This will bring out all the baggage Hillary and Bill have and distract Obama from addressing the issues.

No She should not...She is the right one.

Wow. Feinstein said something intelligent that I totally agree with, except for the VP part .

I feel hillary would loose a lot of ground if she supports Obama after all he will crash and everyone will say on 2012 remeber Hillary was a Obama supporter and look where that got us....
Hillary clinton gave a clean race and she should remain centered on what she beleives which is nothing that supports the Obama plan.

She will come out a winner at the end by waiting it out on the bench until her time comes....

No candidate should give up until the nominee is determined by the required number of delegates! It is unfair to call any candidate to end his/her candidacy before the result is decided properly! Leadership means never to quit until the finish is decided!!! What kind of leadership do people expect of S. Clinton to call her to quit when her campaign is going strong to the end??? S. Obama's campaign is limping to the finish line. What kind of leadership is his when he can not finish the job properly???

Ms Feinstein... just read the news about her Chairman saying she is not ready to conceed. This lady will not end her campaign until we call security and drug her out of the room. She just had some bad dreams that she is entitled to eb teh president ...

No Clinton VP.

How would President Obama keep Hillary and Bill in check? They've already shown that they feel entitled to the presidency. I doubt that they would be accepting of a subordinate role in the White House.

There are plenty of ways and there is plenty of time to bring the party back together for November other than adding Clinton to the ticket. There are plenty of VP candidates that bring more to the table in terms of electoral votes than Clinton as well.

The DNC is using its women to do the dirty work of destroying the female candidate.

Like we will be fooled into believing this was a fair and honorable primary process.

We lived through all the vulgar insults, the denigrating comments, the demeaning of Hillary.

I remember Obama mocking and jeering her- Annie Oakley.

I remember Obama dismissively brushing her off his shoulder.

I remember the strong-arming at the flawed causus states.

I remember Michelle Obama needing to think about voting for the democrat, if the nominee was HRC.

I've already THOUGHT about my vote. AGAINST Obama is the only criteria after all this crap you have heaped on Clinton.

Too bad Feinstein .....Obama will lose BIG TIME in November and some of it will be thanks to you....also hope you lose the power in the congress.

It's time to end the campaign for sure, but I think Obama needs to look elsewhere for his VP. He needs a foreign policy expert to balance out his ticket and Hillary's Bosnia experience doesn't cut it.

Let's clarify: Hillary does not need to concede because she has already LOST. No, she should not be VP. She had a chance to leave with dignity and she chose the dark side. These are now acceptable qualities for a VP? At least let's have a VP who accepts reality.

And thus the pressure starts to force Senator Clinton on the ticket. This is really a sad commentary on the women's movement. They are far more interested in getting Clinton "in position" to become President than in giving Senator Obama his rightful due to pick his own VP.

Remember DEMS, this next president may get to appoint 3 NEW Supreme Court Justice.

DON'T SEND OUR COUNTRY BACK 100 YEARS WITH MCCAIN.

VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!

Quitters never win and winners never quit

Thank God another one from Hillary camp that can count!!! Go Obama

Sorry, no can do, I, and a large number of others I've talked to, do not know enough about Obama, he has no good record to check how he really thinks, not voting in the IL senate or congress has not been good, we don;'t really know where he stands on a large number of things, he's avoided making a yes or no decision on a number of things BUT he says he has good judgement, Not good enough, I don't go by just words, that's how we got BUSH, he made the SAME promises as Obama. That's scarey in itself. We know Clinton and we know McCain, they both have records to check, and experience. So if Clinton isn't the nominee, I will have to go with McCain, if she was VP on the ticket, it would be just a figure head to get votes, just like he does everything else, just like "throwing his grandmother, his MENTOR, his priest friend of 20 years and now his church under the bus for political reasons ONLY. Not good enough, he can not be believed yet.

I am a moderate independent. I've watched from the sidelines this battle between Obama and Clinton. For once Feinstein has said it best. Though the two camps obviously cover different groups in America, this is the best solution to creating a strong front in beating McCain. So Dems, it just depends if y'all want to come together and finally agree ... on something!

To all my American friends.

Everyone outside of the USA knows that your votes do NOT count it has become very clear that the only votes that DO count are those controlled and manipulated by DIEBOLD and S ES machines and the REPUBLICAN party has had control of these machines for years through Chuck HAGEL.

FORGET your November election just email DIEBOLD and ask them who has won in NOVEMBER and save yourselves a load of time money and effort.

To promote Hillary as the VP candidate shows a misunderstanding as to what this whole contest is about. On the one side we have a force for change and hope and a new way of doing things. Millions of NEW VOTERS are responding. People are coming over from the ranks of the independents and Republicans. Even some of McCain's own staffers have seen the light. That is what Obama brings.

On the other side we have "I'm a fighter" Clinton who represents every vicious, dirty trick, lying, and half truth, mudslinging, throw the kitchen sink, OLD STYLE POLITICS. She would be at home in Louisiana or Chicago, two places that are famous for that kind of politics.

But what we are seeing this year is a chance to do it all differently. People love their country, and ache to see us working together instead of bickering. Enough of the fighting. Send it to the "dustbin of history."

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no NO!

Don't put Hillary on the ticket. Then it's all over. We (the independents and Republicans) will go home. The opportunity will be blown. The chance to HEAL THIS COUNTRY will be gone.

As an Obama supporter this is a two sided proposition....

HEADS, she finally gets out of something that's been over long ago.

Tail, VP!

I DON'T LIKE TAILS, but understand this is POLITICS with a TWO SIDED COIN

I agree with Feinstein. It's time for Hillary to concede and back Obama whether she is put on the ticket or not. I am a professional female and I back Obama. I don't believe she was treated unfairly.

Obama 08'

Hillary has nothing that Obama is lacking . She is old school ,he represent change! Hillary is GOP in Democratic clothing!

I dont think She should be on the ticket. She will become a pain to Obama. we have seen what sort of decency the Clinton's have maintained at the white house. People have seen enough of her now over teh campaign as well. This is the right time she must exit gracefully.

I truly question the reasoning skills of Feinstein comment about Hillary being tapped as VP. I think anyone within the party who makes such a suggestion should be thoroughly examined or at least questioned about their motives.

If you want to see an administration conducted like a three wring circus, then suggest that Hillary is on the ticket. Who would be able to control Hillary and Bill Clinton? A perfect example of that is what we are seeing at this very moment. This scorched earth policy in which they employed through out her campaign is the very reason for the split in the party.

For anyone to repeat the fact that Hillary wasn't treated fairly during this campaign is truly off mark. When have we witness any Presidential candidate, democrat or republican who was treated fairly? She’s the only one to cry about it.

Bottom line Mrs. Feinstein, who in Washington would be capable of controlling a Hillary and Bill Clinton, marching around the world, thinking they were President and Vice-President? That is a disaster waiting to happen. I would strongly suggest that the people of California take a serious look at Sen. Feinstein’s reasoning skills for making such a hurtful suggestion to the party.

There is a country full of Women who are more qualified and more dedicated to the party than Hillary Clinton. Plus they won't bring a distraction like Bill with them. Bill is not a benefit anymore, he's a liability.

It’s time to get real for this country. We are in a world of hurt due to 8 years of complete disregard for common sense. Let don’t let that crap spill over into the Democratic Party. Let’s get on with the business of correcting the mistakes of Bush/Cheney. Let’s stay true to the fact that democratic are generally more intelligent and better informed voter.

The rumour's. The rumour's, from Obama's Doomer's....
Dem, Dem's are Doomed..... Ask Obama, he know's...

Everyone is talking but Clinton not hear it........

Why are they trying so hard to push Clinton out of the race? Looks like a dead even race to me.

If they push her out, looks like I am voting for McCain this year, because Obama sure is NOT getting my vote.

Jeff

You said it, Diane. Let's just end this and come together as a party. Hillary has been very ill served by folks like Terry McAuliffe and Lanny Davis. She deserved much better. I have put my hard feelings behind me, it's time for Hillary's supporters to do the same.

Obama '08

FIGHT TIL THE END HILLARY !!!! We love you!!!

This society as a whole, is incapable of taking responsibility for it's own actions. This can be seen with the increase in frivolous lawsuits, and the inability for anybody to say I am sorry.

Hillary Clinton would have walked away with this nomination IF:

She said I am sorry, when appropriate
She didn't try to cheat (by changing the rules)
She didn't lie so easily. (Bosnia, with no apology)

Instead she blamed everyone else for her troubles, furthering the epidemic of "it's not my fault" in this society. Also furthering an inaccurate stereotype that women always blame someone else for their problems.

And today, her supporters continue that trend by blaming Obama/Obama supporters/turncoats/judas's and anyone lese they can blame for her demise.

Grow up and grasp the truth that people are repsonisble for their failures and successes.

The sooner Hillary comes to grips with this, the sooner she will be back!

After all the mud she's slung at Obama? I don't think so.

THERE IS GOING TO BE ALOT OF BUYERS REMORSE. THE TRUE POPULAR COUNT HAS BEEN DISCREDITED, REPLACED BY A FLAWED, UNREALISTIC UNDEMOCRATIC PROCESS! THE STRONGEST, CANDIDATE LOSES TO A ROOKIE, WEAK, DELUDED OBAMA WHO WINS BY DEFAULT. WHERE IS OUR LEADERS COMMON SENSE AND SENSE PERIOD? MCCAIN WINS OUR SUPPORT, NEVER THE PRETENTIOUS, INEXPERIENCED, FAR LEFT LIBERAL OBAMA. GOD HELP AMERICA., DISILLUSIONED DEMOCRAT

I agree with Sen. Feinstein. But what the Clinton's camp is doing–especially in these last hours–is not helping her case to be considered for the VP slot. There are better ways to improve her bargaining position. Creating more uncertainty and chaos is just not one of them. I hope she realises that and does the right thing, which is to concede the race to Obama tonight!

Eric M.

Why are people pushing her to drop out today, While people are voting? Are they scared Obama is going to loose 2 more today in States is was going to win? Is that it?

Let her end it tomorrow if she wants to drop out. Calm down people. I smell a cover up!

With half her campaign staff saying "Yes" and the other half saying "No", which is it? Guess we might find out later this week.

NO WAY SHOULD SHE BE ON THE TICKET FOR VEEP! GOSH, SHE"LL NEVER LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE IF INVITED.

HRC has proved herself to be the most difficult woman in America to get rid off, no sane person will want to enter into any deal with her.

HIllary, its time to give it up, just not meant to be. Don't have dreams about 2012 either, its NOT going to happen. Obama has a young white woman in the wings to replace you as his veep!

Good luck paying off your $20 million debt!!

If by "not treated fairly" you mean ... "did not win" and "was treated like anyone else", then yes, she definitely was.

She had a LOT of baggage going into this primary. Is it a surprise that people called it up?

Obama had some of his baggage revealed, too, and Clinton ran an almost entirely negative campaign, but in the end... Clinton represents something that America doesn't want... politics as usual.

... she was the wrong woman for what could've been the right time, running on a platform first of eminence and after her Super Tuesday wrap-up plan failed... on a platform of "I have been treated unfairly", "I'm the most qualified" (i.e. embelishment or outright lies), and "Obama is awful" (consistent negativity).

If she was a man and ran on that platform... with the credentials she has, her criminal past, and her shady "tenure" as First Lady... she would've never made it. Her eminence was BECAUSE of both gender and affiliation with her husband (sort of paradoxical if you ask me) ... and I *REFUSE* to accept her eminence as Vice President on the same grounds, or on the grounds of appeasing people over IMAGINED slights when she is NOT the right person for the job.

I will never vote for this woman, in any capacity, President, Vice President, or even White House janitor. I am not being vindictive, I merely feel that her personal character flaws go beyond the grotesque, and I would prefer to keep someone of such contemptible character as far away from ANYTHING resembling politics as possible.

Last ditch effort to stop Hillary from getting any votes by saying she will concede! Americans are nothing more than Pawns following the Media Cult! Consider a name advertising slogan.......The Best Brainwashing, wish it were real news programing on television.......Stay tuned to CNN the most pretend to be what you want to see on t.v.

Amen!

Ms. Feinstein, tell me something that I don't already know. Now, if you can just convince that psychotic woman, Hillary and her do-boy, Terry McAuliffe of that same wisdom, you'll be doing a grand for the sake of the Democratic Party.

Please Hillary, don't cause anymore friction or division in the party. You had 8 years in the White House, please give someone else a chance. Why are you fighting so hard to prevent a black man from being President? Please be a leader and show integrity to your followers.

I just read that the
ARG Poll SD Clinton 60% Obama 34% ^% undecided
ARG Poll Montana Clinton 44% Obama 48% 8% undecided.
What do the Supers do if she pulls off wins in these 2 states.
She will have won the last 3 and they crown Obama.
Suicide

When you all- with the help of Oprah, democratic celebrity families, the biased media, and the Hillary haters- decided to sabotage Clinton and to boost Obama... you lost the GE right then and there.

Americans want fair play. They reject racism and REVERSE racism. They saw the B--ch and Ho insults hurled at Hillary Clinton and the adoration poured on your anointed Obama.

We puked. But by Nov, we will just vote against the great hoax.

Im a white working educated woman who really does not see that the media coverage has been biased. I really dont see why women out there feel that way. The attacks on Barack Obama have been equally nasty.

I hope that women out there really look at what we have for a future if they choose to vote for McCain. The guy is a cheating dog...and we all know you cant teach an old dog new tricks.

Obama has shown Hillary great respect even when the reverse was not true. Give him the chance to fight for you and this country. We need it.

Hillary...you did a great job and I wish you the best, but it is time hon.

OBAMA 08

Clinton was treated fairly...her campaign was a joke and the press was accurate in their portrayal.

It is time to end this nonsense. Hillary has totally destroyed the party with all this corrupt stuff she has done. I am behind Barack 100% and if her supporters want to vote for McCain in the fall, "GOOD FOR YALL". I am struggling trying to make it and if you all decide to vote republican because of your own selfish ego, then I pray for all the pain the republicans will do for another 8yrs. The reason I say 8yrs is because if you all think you can vote for McCain now and think that the Obama supporters will vote for Hillary in 2012 then you are sadly mistaken. For the woman all over youtube and the news at the commitee meeting on saturday, you better calm down and get with the program because you don't have too much longer to vote for change.

What the heck is wrong with ALL these people? Let's END this foolishness and START focusing on Sen. McCain for GOD'S sake!!

All this stupidity is getting silly and it's NOT helping the party. This has dragged on long enough. We're tired of this nonsense.

I mean come on, how many times can you say "She's Lost" ??

Let's MOVE on. Please

Why should she quit?

Lord help us if Obama gets the nominee and the White House. America is doomed with this man in office.

Clinton has been stabbed in the back by her own fellow Senators and Congressmen and women. How dare they!!!!! They are like Judas for sure!!!

This once Democrat will now go Republican for sure.

Hillary CANNOT stand tall – she should stand trial – for totally destroying a major political party

Well Feinstein does not need to be pushing for any Obama Hillary ticket. I think the nominee has earned the right to choose his or her own VP. Hillary after all her friction causing does not need to be on any body’s presidential ticket. And if she doesn’t endorse Obama tonight then the proof is in the pudding. Clinton is not about this party or this country. She is all about herself. Obama beware........No Obama/Hillary 08

Its real simple either Obama lets Hillary be vice president or he will lose in November. It's up to him.
Most of the Hillary supports will either cross over and vote for Mc Cain or write in Hillary in November if he doesn't make her vice president.

I sincerely hope the Democratice nominee has some say in his or her choice as a VP running mate.

Hillary is WANTED? The new topic will she do the right thing? I thought she was doing the right thing by running for president...So why is now everyone so worried about Hillary covering all the holes that Obama has?
If I were Hillary they would have to pay me at least 40 million to support the guy she knows has no back bone and is the worst to be president of the US. Her name will be in jeopardy. As a matter of fact I would get out of the whole thing right now and wait 4 years when everyone realizes that Hillary was supposed to be the next president. Let them learn their lesson of the day...I'm sorry their lesson of 4 years.
Hillary they robed you of the presidency and now the need you in order to win the general elections… what an oxymoron. It just comes to show they can’t live with us and they can’t live without us.
I’m sure Hillary is not a quitter just because Bill said this is his last time running for any political event does not mean that Hillary will follow. She will have an easier time in the next term if she stays out of all this chaos right now. If the Democratic party decided to give her the boot why would they recruit her now? She should do the right thing let them suffer for their mistakes isn’t that how kids learn and how adults get their act together?
Hillary for president or NOTHING at all……Wait until 2012 she deserves best never second best.

she and the whole party needs to talk to billary, to booba, to terry mccaulife, carvilel and the rest of her nest,
they are turning so bitter, so racist, so divisive, it is incredible, and remember she nor will will ever concede, just like they never ever apolgoize to anyone for anything.. they are the kind and queen and feel entitled to this land..

i am so sick of the clintons

Obama and Clinton must work together, this is the first time in my life i have ever seen so many young people concern about the world. I say stop looking at color and look at logic. Purple, Blue, Black and White do not matter we all bleed. And so many young men in the war are dead because of this war thats not ours.

Hillary CLinton seems to think anyone who is calling on her to leave the race is "picking" on her. Its not that people want her to leave the race becuase they hate Hillary Clinton. People are calling on her to end her bid because John Mccain must be defeated in November! If the situation was reverse, people would be tryeing to get Obama to end his bid, although I happen to think that Obama would of dropped out by now. I respect Hillary for her tenacity. BUt when does tenacity turn into stubborness and even obsession?

Obama/Bloomberg 08

Good Luck Senator Feinstein on your request but what is keeping Hillary in the race and will hurt her is her campaign manager. McAuliffe is a jerk and he want Hillary to go down with him. She should have stayed with Mark Penn. He was a better solution for her in my opion. Women in this country has really gotten what Hillary promise to continue until the end. Now the end has come so what is the problem. Also McAuliffe should take into concernation that Bill will present a lot of baggage for her so what do she want? Her name dragged in the mud or just say I have fullfil my duties and I want to go out gracely and help the democratic party win. Hillary stop letting others put ideas in your mind. You can mess up a good thing if you keep listening to the idiot McAuilffe.

If you believe it's time for her to end it, then put your money where your mouth is and endorse Obama. Talk is just talk, if you want to send the message, you need to stand up and take the position. Until you do that, you're part of the problem, not the solution.

Cant they leave it alone? If she concedes, she concedes. If not, she wont. WHO CARES?!?!?!?

NO! NO! NO! No to Clinton as VP on the ticket. Go away Clinton's! America does not want the Clinton's back in the White House!

Barack and whoever for VP – just not the Clinton's!

OBAMA 08/12 !

HILLARY FOR VP? nooooooooooooooooooooooo

No we don't want HRC she lies and she is deceiving what does she have in common with Obama's message. Nothing. She is the reason the party is divided. I am a woman but I will never vote for this lady. Diane Feinstein is not the end all be all in making political decisions.

CNN Omitted ONLY one word – IF

But then, CNN is full of air-head, prejudiced, talking heads.

We need journalists !!!!! NOT gossips.

Previous post closed AGAIN too soon – truth not wanted by CNN

well if obama pick s hillary im done giving him my support

It is wonderful to see Senator Feinstein saying sensible things. Maybe SHE should be running, instead of Hillary!!!

"NO" to OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET....

OBAMA/GORE '08

I agree with Feinstein, but I don't think Hillary should call it quits until after we get to see the Michelle Obama video.

...Also...Hillary should not be considered for a VP spot after all the drama to day and throughout the campaign....it would be a big mistake. A dangerous mistake. Given she feels entitled, I get the feeling she will do whatever to undermine Obama's decisions as President, to make him look bad and herself look good in an effort to run in 2012 under the notion of " I told you so"...that would be the Clinton way.

NO HILLARY FOR VICE PRESIDENT....IF SHE DID NOT ACT SO HATEFUL TOWARDS OBAMA, I COULD SEE IT...BUT HER CAMPAIGN WAS VERY DIVISIVE AND HATEFUL...CHOOSE ANYBODY ELSE BUT HRC...PLEASE OBAMA....

Interesting........she must be getting the squeeze from Pelosi. Let the states complete their primaries for christ sake. They must be really worried about what will next come out about Senator Obama or one of his buddies/wife. No matter. Clinton got thepopular vote and that can not be denied!!!!!!! All the peopel who went against the will of the voters will get theirs on the next election cycle.

And lets not forget......Senator Obama is only perhaps gointg to be the PRESUMPTIVE nominee at this point. The convention is not until August – alot can happen between now and then!

Put your campaign into suspension only Senator Clinton. Pelosi, Reid, et al can sit on it!

We do not want hillary in obama ticket she is too polorizing she would not even admit she go beat so bad by obama. Why would he want her in his ticket when he can pick any body he wants there is a lot of sentors and governors out there that would help him to bring america back I say NO hillary in this ticket.

IT IS END OR WILL BE BY NEXT 48 HOURS.

Folks we've been Cheneyed by Bush for 8 years. Lets avoid more of the same.

I vote a strong NO to a joint ticket. She has tooo much baggage. I also disagree that she has been treated unfairly. She has been treated as all polititions are treated once the numbers are against them. I praise her for running and she has done great things, but its time to move one. Unfortunately for Hill, this is Barack's time.

Feinstein for President 2016

we know, her supporters know, how come Hillary doesn't know?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Here comes the Obamabot's hate.

DEAL with the facts. Since you are all 'educated', it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.

Hillary MUST be on the ticket if Obama and the party is to win. There are 17 million of us that support her and we have been with her since the beginning. Unlike the Obama supporters, we have stood strong by her through the entire process. Obama's the one who split the party; we haven't changed our position, you did. Now he owes it (YES, owes it) to the party to offer her VP.

If he doesn't, McCain will defeat him in November. Obama would provide another opportunity for Hillary to run again in 2012. Looks like a win/win situation for her and her supporters after all

no vp.

Hillary Clinton is not fit to be anyone's VP. Obama can win the presidency without her help.

McCain will bring the Republicans out of the wilderness of a 14-year tyranny of Neo-Conservative nonsense and its misuse and abuse of power (Neo-Conservatism, 1994-2008 B.I.H.).

Obama will make pretty speeches that will make wanna be Democrats who are politically ignorant and who lack happiness in their own lives feel good about themselves. How sad they will be when Obama loses the presidency in November... The rest of us Democrats—the majority of Democrats—will have gotten past our anger at the Democratic Party’s incompetence and embrace the Renewed Moderate Republican Party.

The Republicans got lucky with their nominee.

The Democratic leaders and the mob that they have stirred up for their own interests got stupid.

Witness the Rise of the McCain Democrats.

McCAIN DEMOCRATS ’08

Obama/Hillary 08 today tuesday June 3 superdelegates should end this mess.

Isn't Feinstein the Senator that is rabid in her support of gun-control laws, but carries a concealed weapon?

Nobody cares what you think. You have shown yourself to be of poor judgment.

HILLARY CAN GO SUCK AN EGG.....

NO VP FOR THE CLINTONS

Next time... run a fair primary.

Think twice before you force a candidate on the people.

Think twice before you savage your best candidate just to advance the weaker- but Black- candidate.

Next time let the VOTERS- not Oprah, the Kennedys, the DNC, the Media, the Kerrys, the Shrivers, the Superdelegates- DECIDE.

Dimwits, you have now permanently Lost 50% of the party. The 50% who ALWAYS votes.

This time that vote will NOT be for the installed party nominee.

yes it is go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think she should be VP. She would have to work under someone she says she feels she's more qualified than. That would mean that there would be too much tension between the two. I think she should concede and ask her supporters to keep their minds open to Obama. They should not automatically pledge allegiance to Obama or McCain immediately. Instead, keep their minds open and ask themselves which candidate best represents their interests.

**My comments never seem to make the cut, but if it does**
This will be a campiagn to remember. I knew when I woke up this morning and heard a Clinton supporter close to the campiagn say that she was conceding, told staff they should turn in there expense reports and would be paid through 6/15, was arranging meetings with big financial supporters to help with the 20 million dollar debt and that she was making plans to meet up with Obama to work together in the general election, that it was to good to be true.
Like I anitially figured it will take a tazing to get the Clintons out of the campiagn. I still don't understand the thought process to vote for Hillary, someone who clearly has no control over her campiagn; the finances and the people. But some how is qualified at running this country.
They way a person runs thier campiagn is a clear sign of how they will run our country and function in the Oval office. So far the only one to do that succesfully has been Obama. McNot bankrupted his and just recently had to clean house of unethical lobbyist....

Every prominent Democrat in the country realizes its time for Hillary to concede – except Bill and Hillary.

How Clinton supporters think Hillary can win by write-in vote is beyond me. Yes, 17 million plus people voted for Hillary, but 17 million plus people also voted for Obama – and Obama is going to be the nominee. I would venture to say that most rational Clinton supporters who are true Democrats will admit defeat and rally behind Obama because they know that is better then letting McCain win.

Hillary supporters really piss me off when they say they will vote McCain, especially the women. Your vote is supposed to go to the candidate whose views and ideas are more in-line with your own. Do you even know what McCain's positions are? Do you really think he would serve your interests more than Obama?

If you want to honor your precious candidate, voting for the real opposition, the Republicans, is not the way to do it.

I am glad though that whenver someone posts such a message, there are 50 people to smack that person down. It gives me hope that there are enough true Democrats out there that will vote for the ideals and issues and not just the person.

SEn Hillary Clinton it is far better legacy to leave your supporters to uplift and uphold their badge of honor and loyalty. Never surrender! The Good of the democratic party let them do their own deed . The eyes of the world are upon this event. History will judge you a winner who does not back from doing the right thing for the people. A Ladey of strong convictions, never to be duplicated again.
Hillary Rodam Clinton we respect and salute you. Never surrrender !

Hell no!! No Hillary for VP!!!!!

No VP for Hillary! She's better in the Senate, anyway. The senate needs people who can fight and battle it out. The President is the leader, the congress are the legislature (meaning they make the laws).

Due to HIllary's track record of not keeping her word during her campaign, would you really want to have her as a Vice President?
She can' not be trusted. Obama would have to watch his back every day, not only with Hillary but then you have Bill lurking around.

Any good feelings I had for Hillary (as a white 62 year old female) have since gone with her selective, inventive lies and her her self centered scortched earth policy of Hillary over the nation.

For those who's prejudice is so strong and vow to vote McCain... Are they really Democrats? Or just people with big mouths that like to start trouble.. HIllary should be ashamed of the conduct of the oud mouth women she sponsered to attend the DNC meeting. Instead she and McAllif whip the emotions up and cheer the bad press so they can whine and say they have been 'cheated'. (whine, whine ;boo, hoo)

As she said to Barak when he went through the media hell over the preacher issue, ' if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen and don't whine." Good advice Hillary, now do as you say... Walk the walk ...

This whole thing is a mess – the Democrats get more divided with each day. The media has basically run the primaries – telling people what to think, how to vote, and how they want us to interpret the results. This race has been amazingly close, however, the media acts like Hillary is no better than Huckabee.

The Democrats have made a huge mistake choosing this path. A Clinton-Obama ticket would have been a slam dunk and the Democrats could have been looking at 16 years in the White House, but no, the DNC and the media got greedy and decided to back an inexperienced candidate. As VP, Obama would have gotten the experience he needs and earned the respect of the country. After serving as VP for 8 years he would have had no problem claiming the White House. The DNC is taking a calculated risk that probably will result in a loss in November.

No...No...please NO HRC as VP on the ticket. I am a long time republican (haven't voted Dem since Kennedy) and have been really enlightened by Obama and ready to cast my vote for him in November. I have even considered working for his campaign. However, I will NOT vote for the Democratic party if HRC is in any way involved. I will be forced to vote for McCain even though I don't want to. She is the most evil and devisive woman I have ever heard speak. There is absolutely NO favorable quality that she possesses that would make her a positive to the ticket. On top of that...she brings along Bill. PLEASE MR. OBAMA.........DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!

No Veep for her. Secretary of State maybe.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein – I agree with you that it's time for Hillary to give it up! However, she will not be on Obama's ticket!

At the moment... Obama only needs 35.5 more superdelegates and win the race tonight in MT and SD!!!

I know some of you are really pushing for Hillary to be on his ticket but... keep dreaming!

Also... Hillary lost this race because of how she ran her campaign so please stop trying to blame the media! After all – Hillary said she was Rocky!

Go Obama!!!

By your own actions- corruption- and inaction will the installed puppet candidate, Obama now fail.

Should have run fair and honest primaries.

Should have not advantaged Black over Female- should have let them make their own case on their own merits.

WE lifelongs- and we ARE many- will protest against this fixed election. It has become a moral matter of democratic ideals.

Obama will never get our vote...

While I'm glad that Senator Feinstein has reached the conclusion that it is time to end the primary and unify the party, I don't believe that Senator Clinton should be forced onto the ticked. Should she be considered?, absolutely, but there is no mandate that she be made the VP. Senator Obama will have to evaluate his options and make what he believes will be the best choice to help him win the election. If the roles were reversed, I would expect Senator Clinton to make the very same argument.
I congratulate Senator Clinton on a hard fought campaign. I respect her grit, but I do not agree with many of her tactics during the campaign. However, it is now time to unite behind the Democratic Nominee and work together to elect that nominee to the Presidency.

I disagree she should be in the ticket as VP. You need some degree of understanding and Obama should not be forced to have her as his VP. Disadvantages include:
1/ Uniting the Republican party
2/ Obama vision of change will be hurt by Hillary
3/ We don't someone who voted for a war who killed southands of Americans and left the country weaker
4/ It will be very difficult to contain Bill Clinton
5/ Obama is a uniter and Hillary is a divider

She lost the nomination and she should bow out. Then we can discuss who will be a good VP for Obama

Feinstein, Hillary quitting will not give you the result you want. The internal Obama political machine entering into state contest such as Texas and other states, superdelgate back room meetings, the DNC result, sexism and bias in the media have result in a permanent split in this party. The only one to blame is Howard Dean and the DNC who knowingly let it all happen.

To be a Democrat right now is not to be proud. Racism in reverse on top of sexism and an Obama money machine and its redefinition of this party is not what 50% of the party needs or wants.

I was against a joint ticket early on. To me it did not seem politically feasibly. But as time goes on, circumstances change. Early on, there was not a large schism in the Democratic party; now there is. At this point, the schism has become so large, the only thing in my mind that could mitigate that would be a joint ticket.

I'm for it.

Am with you.

Barack / Hillary 08/12

No VP for Hillary.

She ran a fantastic race. The numbers are the numbers.
We desperately need a Dem in the White House to get a
handle on the economy.

Re-regulating the way our oil
commodities are being traded, ie: futures contracts with out
caps and so forth have driven the price of gas at least 25%.

Lets stand with Senator Obama and force his administration to
abide by the high policy standards Senator Clinton and Former Senator John Edwards set. Kick out the special interest politics, the lobbiests and make sensable choices for our Republic.

United we stand, Divided we fall.

I don't think Hillary would be a good VP. I know she fought hard and has substantial following, but it's not a good match. I know they are similar on many issues, but it's not a good match. His message and brand will go out the door. She can play an important role, just not VP.

While I applaud Feinstein for at least acknowledging the potential harm Clinton is doing by staying in, I find her suggestion that Clinton has not been treated fairly to be pure BS. Hillary had every advantage going into this thing. She blew it and now wants to play the sexism card. I also think that Feinstein (who by the way broke with the party and voted for neocon federal judges) is being presumptuous to suggest Hillary as Barack's running mate. The decision is his to make.

Yeah, people are starting to bail on Clinton now... I think she will concede tonight, contrary to the earlier report. She doesn't gain anything by holding out and she continues to hurt her standing w/ African Americans (be it fair or not) and thats the most loyal democratic voting bloc in recent history. If she plans on taking the top spot in 2012 then she has to leave and work hard for Obama and pray that he loses.

Joint ticket? Please. How many people need to say, in no uncertain terms, that they won't vote for a Clinton/Obama ticket before these pundits let it go? Kill this idealized and stylized vision for a minority/female powerhouse ticket. Hillary is still a Clinton and even as a VP, we, the people of the United States, are done with the Bush and Clinton families. Period.

I trongly believe that the OBAMA and CLINTON ticket will be a victory for the MC CAIN.
Not because she is not good, but the Negativ luaguage she has.

A video tape whith B. Clinton lying to the congress will be a blow
and Hillary own probleme with the court make the matter worse.
What about OBAMA own problems???

OBAMA with someone else will be better for the party and the country.

I don't think Obama and Hillary would be a good ticket, in fact, i think it would change the way many see Obama and his message to the people. I will not be voting if that does occur!

I agree with Ms. Feinstein, that after the primary has ended it is time for all democrats to unite and not prolong this unity effort. We need to have a total party that works for the common goal of electing Obama as President of the United States of America.
We cannot afford to miss this opprotunity.

how has clinton treated unfairly?

Obama's supporters are mean and rude. Look at their comments. what a difference between them and Hillary supporters. I'm scared to vote for Obama. I would vote for McCain before this guy. He won the primary because heis black.

Hillary started this campaign with all the plus's on her side.

Hillary ran the campaign and continues to do so with all the negatives she can muster.

Simply put Hillary does not deserve to be on the ticket, she has pandered to so many groups appealing to the lowest instincts racism, sexism even trying the Muslim as far as she knows jibe, I'm surprised she does not wear black and white pant suits.

She signs pledges and then displays complete disregard for the pledge, just how does she expect anyone to believe what she says or trust her with anything

It has been clear for some time that Barack Obama is going to be the Nominee.

Well done Mr Obama you have taken on the suposed best political machine and beat it.

Go get the Republicans and McSame

The dream ticket–or the nightmare ticket. Guess is just depends on your understanding of the constitution and governments role in our lives.

Personally–I don't want to see those hacks gaining any more control of my life than they already have.

I may just sit home in November–let the supposed majority have it's way.

Its real simple either Obama lets Hillary be vice president or he will lose in November. It's up to him.
Most of the Hillary supports will either cross over and vote for Mc Cain or write in Hillary in November if he doesn't make her vice president.

The DNC, superdelegates, and Hillary Rodman Clinton have torn this party apart. I am so tired of the primary until I and almost sick. Stop forcing Hillary for VP. After tonight and this has not ended, I will not vote at all in the general election and will encourge my friends not to vote. This is not about you people; it's about the American people and state of disaster we are in. I know people say they won't vote for Obama and some say they won't vote for Hillary but I am one serious person and I believe what other people are saying about not voting for the other candidate. THIS PARTY HAS BEEN TORN APART AND YOU NEED TO STOP PLAYING POLITICS WITH AMERICAN LIVES!

THANK YOU FRANKINSTEIN!, I MEAN Feinstein. IN ALL FAIRNESS THE HRC MUST ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AS RUDE TO US AS WE HAVE BEEN TO THEM. FOR EXAMPLE BEN IN CINCI SAYING THAT OBAMA IS UNQULIFIED. IF SO, HOW DID HE BEAT HER? IN ANY EVENT, WE SHOULD UNITE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN UPSET IF OBAMA LOST, BUT I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HER. IT IS BETTER THAT OBAMA WIN AND YOU PEOPLE LEAVE THE PARTY AND MCCAIN GET THE OFFICE THEN FOR OBAMA TO LOOSE JUST TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. MANY OF YOU ARE STILL PRAYING TO THE SUPPER DEL GODS IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL CROWN HER QUEEN. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS, AND IT IS AS INSULTING TO ME TO HEAR YOU REQUEST THAT AS THE THINGS YOU ARE HURT BY FROM OUR SIDE.

I think she's 100 percent acurate with this quote:

“There are women all over the country and particularly in my state of California who think she has not been treated fairly. They want her to stand tall. One of the reasons she stayed in the race was to stand tall. She’s done that. The two of them together, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, cover the constituencies of America and I think represent a working team that is unprecedented in the United States.”

“I think the time has come to end the primary, to put the ticket together, to bring people together and to march forward together into the convention.”

Like it or not–she's right. This unprecedented ticket would ensure a Dem victory...

I agree the moment of truth has come! BUT I question the comment time to put the ticket together, I don't exactly know what she means by this all I can say to this is as long as that ticket does not include Hillary as VP. ANYTHING BUT VP!

I DO NOT WANT HILLARY AS VP!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO BE UNTRUSTWORTHY!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO BE DIVISIVE!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO NOT BE A TEAM PLAYER!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO BE SELF SERVING!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO BE A CORRUPT PERSON IN HER DEALINGS!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSLEF TO BE ENCAPABLE OF MANAGING FUNDS!
SHE HAS PROVEN HERSELF TO BE UNABLE TO MANAGE PEOPLE!

Feinstein is clueless. When mayor of San Francisco, she led the city into insolvency, and the resulting downgrading of credit cost taxpayers millions. Yet, similar idiots in San Francisco send clueless people such as Feinstein, Boxer, and Pelosi back to Congress repeatedly. Maybe because they didn't want them anywhere around town. They might be smarter than I thought. sarc/off

Well tell Clinton to tell Bill that he needs to sit down and let Obama and Hillary run the White House not him. I personally do not trust Bill nor Hillary but I am willing to vote for her to be the Vice President if Bill is out of the way. They better not hurt Obama-physically nor mentally. I'm just a nobody but I do know Jesus and Jesus will watch over Obama and protect him as well but the devil is on the rise these days. So on that note, I will pray for the Clinton's also. THEY BETTER NOT HURT OBAMA!!!!

I for one am glad that all of America gets to see this woman lose the last shreds of her mind in front of everyone.

This logic of staying in the race is just like Bush saying there are WMDs: you see the writing on the wall, the truth is staring you point blank in the face......and you say it's something else.

The writing's been on the wall for a long time, Hillary, even your own staunchest supporters are abandoning ship. It's time for you to abandon ship too!! And all you Obama haters........well, you know where you can get off as well!!

GO OBAMA '08

Its not over until the lady in the pantsuit says its over. I wil have to think about whether I would vote for him if she is on the ticket. I believe he is up there with Bush as poor choices whohave ran for President. Americans made a poor choice in Bush and again they will do the same with him. She is a brillant, remarkable, smart, knows the issues and have solutions. She is my candidate, but if she is Vice-President I would feel better and safer knowing she could possibly stop him from making stupid mistakes like Bush. I don't know if I could stand to listen to him say ah in every sentence sometimes more than once.

I would rather Obama not have her as VP, I've lost a lot of respect for the clintons, but this is beyond me and anyone, and if it keeps Mcsame out of office, it is well worth it. I don't think me and other Americans who are in the slump with todays economy can take another 4 years of gridlock and the same old strategy that got us here in the first place, please think of those that need help before your own pride, and put your difference's aside everyone. ...Please...

Diane, how can Barack Obama ever trust Hillary or Bill. They continue to attack him and they keep trying to destroy the Democratic Party.

Would it be an Obama, Clinton, Clinton ticket? Hillary ran ruff shot over Vice President Gore.

Hillary and Bill need time to restore their marriage.

A 60 yr. old w/female voting for Barack Obama and Proud of it and Proud of him.

YES WE CAN – WHEN WE UNITE.

Great, Dianne, dig a deeper hole for party and for yourself. You know that the more people try to bring her down, the more they anger the Hillary supporters, who are sick of being told to shut up and make nice with the empty suit who was shoved down our throat by the DNC and the mainstream media. Very bad strategy. And if you find yourself losing your seat after the next election, you will understand. We are keeping notes and will NEVER forget.

Why can everyone see this...but Hillary?

EVERY VOTE COUNTS!
(unless it's a caucus state)

LET THE POPULAR VOTE DECIDE!
(as long as states that broke the rules count)

POPULAR VOTE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT DELEGATE COUNT!
(even though the General Election follows delegate count)

SUPERDELEGATES SHOULD FOLLOW THE WILL OF THE VOTERS!
(but they are free to change their minds at anytime)

Yes, this is the person I want leading our country. Someone who tries to change reality to suit her needs.

Clinton is are only chance at winning in November. People, including I, will not vote for someone (Obama) with a questionable and very disturbing background.

Miss Feintein and Miss BOxer,

I am a California voter, I will not vote for you or Miss Boxer anymore!!!!

Is this vice presidency thing a threat, blackmail, or what????? Give me a break. Sure sounds like that. Superdelegates, please show her campaign that this is not the way to a vp spot. How can Barack Obama even consider her after all the crap she has given her own party and the way she has treated Barack personally. He has treated her with nothing but respect and shown the country how a professional candidate treats people. But to hold back until he offers her the vp position???? That is manipulation at its worst.

O8AMA + anyone but her

Everyone Shut up!!! Let Ms. Clinton finish this out...That's one of the problems with this race, everyone butts in....

Only quitters are "losers"

Here comes the Obamabot's hate.

DEAL with the facts. Since you are all 'educated', it shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.

Hillary MUST be on the ticket if Obama and the party is to win. There are 17 million of us that support her and we have been with her since the beginning. Unlike the Obama supporters, we have stood strong by her through the entire process. Obama's the one who split the party; we haven't changed our position, you did. Now he owes it (YES, owes it) to the party to offer her VP.

If he doesn't, McCain will defeat him in November. Obama would provide another opportunity for Hillary to run again in 2012. Looks like a win/win situation for her and her supporters after all.

I have been watching the campaigns from the beginning, and I don't see where either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama has been treated more unfairly than the other. They both have had their share of weeks of negative headlines, which may have been slightly more excessive for Senator Obama, if at all.

When Senator Feinstein repeats what Clinton supporters say, that she has been treated unfairly, they seem to just be repeating what Senator Clinton herself has claimed, but I haven't really seen any evidence of it.

I certainly have NOT heard Senator Obama claim that he has been treated unfairly because he's black.

Maybe it's all in the perception of the news.

I concur... it's time. I like Hillary Clinton but we all need to rally behind Barack Obama now and beat McCain.

Democrat "08

The Obama bloggers are paid for by Obama's well organized and sleazy campaign- that is why they blog multiple times on every single blog.

Unfortunately for them, in the end, it is not propaganda but votes that count.

Most Americans will never vote for the unqualified, inexperienced, short on firm positions but big on hyperbole, lying, hypocritical, pandering, racist Obama.

Americans are tired of cocky, gloating, boastful, mocking, swaggering, arrogant elitists who have never DONE anything for their country. Obama, like Bush before him, is waltzing into the presidency on their perceived likability.

Americans won’t repeat the mistake they made with Bush by swapping him for the radical left wing version of the same ineptitude.

I have GREAT respect you for Hilary!! I supported you from the start..
Congatulations on a tight Campaign, thanks for fighting for what is right and I wish you all the best!!

But now, as much as it hurts, it's time to jump aboard the "Obama Train!!" To vote for McCain would completely dishonour Hilary..something true supporters of hers would never do!

To vote for McCain because hilary is out is ridiculus!! Im disappointed with fellow Hilary supporters..

Obama/Clinton "08"...now that is a ticket to be proud of!

Thank God for common sense, it seems there are a lot of HRC supporters that are actually intimindated, they fear the wrath of the Queen......Are they not allowed to think, are they not allowed to speak...DB

NO VP for hillary. They would undermine Obama every step of the way.

Call Hillary and tell her.

McAuliffe and her husband are showing that she is too nuts to have as VP!

Sen. Clinton prefers disgraceful exit.

Can someone tell me if she accepts VP, does Obama pay off her campaign debt???

well spoken.

Great Job Diane. Tell her to end this "will he fall,' "will he die," ongoing speculative fairy tale wishes for her (Hilary Clinton's) dream to come true. After all votes are counted and the super delegates weigh in; let's go behind whoever the nominee is and not 'keep it open." There has been enough divisiveness in this campaign and the republicans love this ongoing saga!!!

Senator Feinstein,
Please put some extra teeth in this message by switching your superdelegate endorsement to Obama. And ask other supers pledged the Clinton to do likewise. It would not disrespect Clinton, but would demonstrate that a commitment to party unity is more important than commitment to a candidate.

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!

Hillary 08

Those Women she speaks of, are uneducated misinformed fanaticals. Hillary was not treated unfairly. Michigan and Florida votes/delegates should not have been counted period. She does not have more "votes" than Obama. And she is only close in votes because you can't include the dozen Caucus' that he won.

Miss Feinstein,

Please dont endorse HRC as a VP, after cutting each other throat by distinctively separating his agenda from hers throughout the duration of the campaign and particularly during the debates, how could a voter even imagine she willl support him wholeheartedly or promote his ideas in time of crises at the Whitehouse.

Hillary has shown she is fully capable and willing to tear the party apart – why, exactly, would we WANT that in a VP?

I agree but not with the VP part.

Isn’t this just like the democrats to just quit and run.
They have been telling Hillary to quite for two months now.

They use the quit and run strategy on everything domestic and foreign affairs.

Hillary what are you doing???
Do you know how you look???
Your like the guy that drink to much in the Club...

Can you say Village Idiot?

Can you say RON PAUL syndrome…!!

Bill get yyou old lady, see's going out like a NUT!!!

Ha...Ha...Ha..

OBAMA 08!!

YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!

Obama got this far on speeches, spin, celebrity bandwagon, media bias, corrupt actions of the DNC and Hillary bashing.
He will not win the election.
It is not like the caucus states where a few hundred are equal to millions of votes.
The Obama propaganda is not working on many intelligent, free thinking adults.

Absolutely not!

Hillary, I urge you to run as Independent. I speak for the many Democrats who would vote Republican if you are not the Presidential nominee. Your party has turned their backs on you. Why don't you give them a dose of their own medicine? What do you need a party for???

then why don't you endorse barack and set a precedent

makes sense to me. for the sake of the country and history, it's all in the democratic favor.And better yet, for the next 3 or more presidential election cycle. way to go .

Hillary, the horse is dead already – please stop beating it.

I’m furious that they are trying to strong arm him in to choosing her for his VP . Let him make his own choice just like every other nominee got to pick. And please let him have a well deserved celebration first!

I am a middle age woman, I don't understand why are all these Hillary supporters saying Obama should make her his VP? Let Obama pick his VP, not all these angry women who are Hillary supporters. They make me sick. I hope he doesn't pick her, she and Bill are power hunger and second place is not where they want to be. They are to shady and distrustful. Stop all the crying about she was treated unfairly, so what it's politics. Obama was treated unfairly also. Obama is the choice stop making excuses for Hillary, after all the percentage of people who don't like her is proof enough. I agree, lets move on but not with that evil woman and her husband.

CNN you all close articles too soon for comments even articles that only have less than 100 comments. You need to keep those open longer.

I fear that adding Clinton to an Obama fronted ticket is opening the floodgates for republicans, and ALSO makes Obama look phony, in that such a major part of his campaign has been based on a change "from the old way of doing things" – something Clinton would represent. The VP decision for the Obama camp will NOT be made easily...

Diane steps up to the plate but Hillary will still not concede. The Clinton 'family business' is more important than the Democratic Party. Hillary has not been treated unfairly much as she would like to convience her supporter's otherwise. Senator Obama and the press have not made her accountable for any of her past scandals and proven corruption, even as she brought gender, religion and race into the campaign. Hillary has and continues to do anything to win and will further divide the Democratic Party in her ambitious quest for the White House.

Folks, let's all just settle down and let the candidates handle how this process works. I have confidence in both of them to make the right decisions.

Thank you Feinstein.

it's time to end this runaway train wreck of a campaign. The Clinton train is going 'full speed ahead' to no where...

she's just making people hate her more.

I know it's hard for an ICON to accept defeat from an unknown. But the only proof that you're 'Electable' is to WIN Hillary. Try that next time as opposed to the Kitchen sink strategy

Clinton has the right to move forward. If she ran on the independent ticket, she would have a good chance of winning,

The DNC made a major & unfair mistake with Michigan.

Thousands in just MO........say, GO HILLARY!!

Okay, Senator Feinstein, I'm a woman from California and I don't believe this at all about Senator Clinton.
We all know that you don't want to endorse Senator Obama, and that's your choice, but don't state that all woman feel she was treated unfairly.
She gave as good as she got. Now get out of the race.

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 stand as her legacy. This to include 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; and NO to Hillary Clinton as Vice President of the United States.

The time to step in was when Obama was permitted to strong-arm and cheat his way to victories at the flawed caucus states.

These early, stolen wins-The early string of caucus victories allowed a relatively small number of Obama supporters to drastically magnify their impact on the nominating process.

Why can't these Clinton supporters just wait until Hillary says it's over? What they can't wait a day or two? Hillary will leave when she says it is time to leave.

NO NO NO NO.

I do not want Hillary Clinton as vice president, or president. I do not trust her one whit.

I am a woman, and have seen NO sexism in this campaign. I'm not talking about boys with tshirts, or idiots on TV – those people are irrelevant. I don't want a woman as president/vp, just because she's a woman.

It is clear that hillary cares nothing for the party or people or country of the united states. It has been and always will be about her and bill. But I ask you, do we really want someone who has ran a scandelous, fiscally unsound campaign who can't even control her own staff running our country? She can't even manage her campaign (40 million in debt) how can she run the US?

I wonder if they'll use their speeches tonight to announce Hillary as the VP? What a game-shaker that'd be...

But I doubt it'll happen.

Now, that's a 3:00 a.m. phone call.

Question is, does Hillary have the courage to pick up the phone and face reality?

– Recovering Hillary Supporter

I agree that Clinton should drop out...but I do not agree that she should be on the ticket. Obama won't last a year with Bill and Hillary lurking in the dark!

YES – it's time for the race to end. NO – HRC is not a good VP choice. Obama should have the opportunity to chose his own VP and if he thinks Clinton is the best choice, then so be it, but at least give him to liberty to make that choice.

Hillary doesn't stand tall at all. She has the same qualities of G. W. Bush: self-serving, defective hearing & insight; therefore she believes her action is what this nation wants. I am glad I won't have to worry about having her in charge of our country for the next 8 years. What a relief!

McCain, you have my vote if Hillary drops out! I cannot vote for an unexperienced, all talk and no game candidate like Obama. He is a disgrace to this country and and disgrace to mankind!

HILLARY/MCCAIN '08!

Finally. Thank you Mrs. Feinstein. This whole primary race has been sickening because the more I listen to the media say oh Obama can’t get the white vote,
this lets me know that the priest was right with his words; basically whites feel privileged, and that the presidential race is chosen by whites only. Well slavery day
has ended and blacks have a right to vote. It is obvious that whites do not want votes from minorities to count and have any power. Well the
votes counted rather whites wanted them to count or not and this is why Barak has won the nominee and bottom line is Hillary is in denial along
with a bunch of other prejudice folk. The Lord does not like “UGLY, LYING, CHEATING MESS. You do not win the democratic nomination by the popular vote. All that meant is that in some states folks liked Hillary more than Obama and it also meant that a lot of prejudice people exist in the world that would never vote for a black man. Well Obama received thousands of white votes and the media never admit to it.

Never have they offered a VP seat to a black man or woman and now Barak is under great pressure to offer a seat to Hillary, only
because she is white and feeling privileged. All other president chose whom they wanted and Barak has the same right.

were you all just so afraid of this energizing, intelligent, unifying black man that this couldn't have been over months ago? she has had no chance whatsoever for at least three weeks, and realistically for three months.

now we have a ton more mending to do – simply because we all (as a country?) owed hillary clinton some undefined "right" to play it out to the end?

finally. maybe. today. she. will. admit. defeat.

It's time to let go of the childish arrogance, racism, and sexism, and realize that this is going to be a vital election. McCain's presidency will be catastrophic with more wars coming and thousands of casualties. Put everything aside and fight McCain.

With all due respect ,it is not up to the Senator from California to decide who the running mate should be. She made her choice for President- her candidate didn't win so now she can switch sides if she chooses but beyond that shopuld mind her own business. Senator Obama has managed to do quite well with out her support up to this point so probably can manage to choose a VP without her help too.

I agree to this statement Hillary Clinton deserves first place and if the party decides her faith for second then she will do what is best for the party. I been to the recent rally regarding counting the votes of the people many are thinking the party already had in mind who they wanted to get to that magic so called number. The party and media play a big role in the outcome of this election. All reporters from the CNN have declared this from the beginning with all of the hatred and tactics.

Hillary Clinton supporters will remember in November, you can take the party but you can win the general election without her supporters. Just try. The republicans are already planning and something else is coming out in the near future about the Obama group.

One more time, if she doesn't think Obama can lead the country why in God's green earth would she want to be his VP...why would Bill want her to be VP?

Obama, I've never doubted your political savy or your leadership skills...but I'm begging you don't give her an inch. She will say anything, pretend to negotiate with you, but she will stab you in the back in a heart beat. You can't be humane with a killer animal.

McCain in '08! CNN handed this primary to Obama with its sexist reporting. Fact! The only smart thing Nobama ever did was to pay off the koolade drinkers of the media with all his money that he raised unfairly! I can't wait to tell Obama supporters that they cost their party the general election! Pro-choice, anti-war, pro-health care, anti-outsourcing, pro-environment Democrats should support McCain! That will show the kool ade drinkers! They will line up to apologize to Clinton supporters who voted republican in 08 when they lose their jobs, homes, health care, and reproductive rights!

Please don't pick Hilary.... she will stab him in the back one day.
maybe another position.

It makes sense to me Senator!!!- As the bible says : There time for everything. And now, it is time fold the tents. The show is over. But I must say I learned to respect HILLARY- She is a fighter. But Obama is the WINNER and should make the VP cfhoice in the best interst of this party and the country

I don't understand why WOMEN are saying that Hillary was not treated unfair. GIve me a break, she said from the beggining that this was going to be a tough fight...she fought it right to the end.

In this race they were both treated fair...i don't think because she is a woman, that she should of been treated any different. She knew what she was getting herself into. She is a tough cookie..she never put her guards down..so don't come crying now.

Obama treated her with respect, he never disrespected her. What else did she want.

The question is, "Can she be trusted, Brutus?"

..

Obama and Clinton ticket may be good but it's the making of a disaster politically. The ideal of rewarding an opponent because they lose is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. We take our loses in life and move on, Hillary is no different than any of the other candidates that ran and lost. The idea of forcing Hillary and Bill on Obama is just plain crazy. Hillary's supporters such as Feinstein have their own political interest at stake and there is no place for favoritism.

I think it time for Feinstein to end – her political life. She is a disgusting human being who goes whichever way the wind is blowing. Feinstein has no scruples, no character and no backbone. She will now firmly attach her lips to Obama's backside with the hope of courting favor. What a slimeball.

You know VP spot unless the President gives you the authority to actually do things is no big prize. I would like to see Hillary in a cabinet position particulary with either the economy or health care. She can get more done and have her voice heard on these 2 issues. The problem is Obama has weak choices for VP. I read people vote for the president and not VP but thats not true look at Dan Quale he is one example of people tuning right off to him. Richardson will be a Quale because he is a turncoat if he is on the ticket and Edwards doesn't want it. Webb is weak and so is Evan B. Biden is hot headed and Dorothy from Kansas won't bring in what Hillary did so Obama is in a tough position when it comes to VP choices.

If Hillary doesn't concede tonight, it looks like it's going to get ugly. Hillary, stop holding the Democratic Party hostage!

I wouldn't put it past Hillary, considering all the turmoil she creates, to now be hoping that she might derail Obama from a victory in November so she can position herself to come to the rescue in 2012. So much for unifying the party....

Well let's hear it Hillary supporters. WHO CARES, SHE IS A JUDAS, SHE IS A MASOGINIST....... I started this primary season as a HUGE Hillary supporter and I now don't even know if I want her as VP. The damage she is doing to the party may not be fixed for years and we NEED to elect a Democratic President in November! I just hope enough "super" delegates come out today and endorse Obama so he can give a victory speech where the Republicants will hold their convention. Time to unite the party.

I used to think I would never vote for a ticket with Hillary on it, however she deserves the Vice slot and I would back her, even though I cant believe I just wrote that.

Obama/Clinton '08

Diane

Shut up!!!! It is easy for you to say because you are the not the one working endlessly for the past 15 months. Hillary deserves a hell of a lot more respect than people have given her credit for. Her relentless persuit of dream should make people admire her. Through her candidacy every little girl can really say I can be anything I want to when I grow up even President of the United States. I am ashamed of how women on the Obama camp treated Hillary. We are women and we all share the common bond of wanting to be seen as equal to men in our society. Too bad you did not fight enough for her. Hillary is a woman, mother, daughter and wife and we all have one in our lives. WHAT A SHAME!!!

HILLARY YOU ARE A TRUE CHAMPION!!!

Thank you for telling the truth!

Time to step in was when Obama, the uniter, recklessly split the party by playing the race card to advantage himself early on.

I agree – it's time for this to end. I disagree – she should not be offered the vice presidency.

PS Diane, get over the victim complex – if you want to run with the big boys, put on your big girl panties and press on. This whining about not being treated fairly is annoying and untrue – and it doesn't help the cause of women running in races such as this. If she was anyone but a clinton, this would have been over a long time ago, so quit the whining about unfair treatment.

HRC WAS A GOOD CANDIDATE TAKING EVERYTHING IN CONSIDERATION. HER HUSBAND REMAINS HER DOWNFALL.
HER AND MR. OBAMA IS JUST WHAT THE TIMES NEEDED FOR OUR COUNTRY TO MOVE TOWARD CHANGE. NOW LET THE "CHANGE" BEGIN.

Why is this starting to sound like an episode of Intervention?

I wonder why she did not apply pressure to others in Washington to support Clinton?

Yes to ending the race; NO to joint-ticket!

The rush is on now to try to get ALL democrats to back the likely nominee, Obama- who is so clearly the weaker, flawed, inelectable nominee, that the better candidate had to literally be KNOCKED out of the race by her party, in order to prop their left wing puppet.

As a lifelong democrat who for 35 years, has been able to support the DEM nominee, this is the banner year when I protest and say: NOT this time.

I can not condone fixed primaries, and cheating at flawed caucus states, and down right stealing the nomination the the ever more qualified FEMALE candidate. I'm no racist and I'm no sexist. I just wanted fair play and the best one to win on merit, not propaganda.

I agree that this should end after the last primaries and probably. I also feel very strongly that as the nominee Senator Obama should be able to pick who he wants as a running mate.

Count the superdelegates and finish the process to win in November!!!

Finally, someone with some friggin sense. Now the rest of the party is starting to realize their jobs are at stake if HRC continues with her egotistical ventures. Someone send her home or ask Bill to call her and tell her to come home.

Oh yeah, finally, the end is near!

Let's heal the party.

gObama!

hopefully Senator Clinton will consider Feinstein's words. Hopefully she really will work to help unify the party, even if she is not the chosen VP.

Hillary ending her campaign will not unite the Democrat party. If we had wanted Obama, we would have voted for the guy in the first place. Most people are not going to vote for a guy that has more radical friends than Che Guevara.

Teddy boy kennedy for obama. If we talk about Ted lets look at the facts there to for he may be a lot like Obama who knows. Ted was kicked out of Harvard for cheating and then over objections of the faculty got into Virginia’s law school. Then for the rest of his life he has been a boozer and womanizer including killing a much younger woman he was having an affair with in an unfortunate car wreck. Then I remember him killing Carter’s chances of beating Reagan in 1980 when Kennedy’s ego got out of rcontrol and then after the Sitting democrat president Carter defeated Teddy in the primaries Teddy refused to shake Carter’s hand on the stage of the Democratic convention and withheld support while Carter lost to Reagan. One selfish character. Is Obama selfish like that, Who knows, but my mother always said you are known by the friend you keep, and man obama sures has some strange friend

As a staunch Obama supporter, I agree with you Ms. Feinstein 110%!

Obama/Clinton '08

Hillary Clinton will not be on the ticket.

If the media has finally anointed Sen. Obama, and Lord knows they've work overtime to undermine Sen. Clinton, it would be in the best interest of the country for her to remain in the Senate where she will continue to have real power. As VP, she will be relegated to attending funerals. She has enough seniority in the Senate to be the next Majority Leader. That's where she could affect real change.

You are no help Feinstein because you could vote for obama and help put an end to this Hillary crap. You want to end it then end it.

Well said!!!

I think the wheels have officially come off of the Clinton bandwagon.

Democrats, it is time to put our differences aside, and unite as a party.
Regardless of who our candidate is, we all need to keep the common goal in mind of taking back the White House for the good of America.

Noone ever said "Change" was going to be easy (wink, wink).

Democrats '08, '12, Forever....

Playing the Gender card again huh?

This is one woman who would never vote for Hillary.

She DOES NOT have the popular vote and Obama DID NOT steal anything from her.

Obama is the ONLY one who can win against McCain.

Will someone talk to her!!!!! Please!!!!!!!

I'm a staunch Obama supporter, but I truly believe that at this stage, this is what it's gonna to take in order to win in November. Democrats need to unite and not fight!

Obama/Clinton 2008

I'm a a staunch Obama supporter, but I truly believe that at this stage, this is what it's gonna to take in order to win in November. Democrats need to unite and not fight!

Obama/Clinton 2008

I think all that matters is all Democrats unite to make sure we don;t have four more years of the filaed Bush policies that John McCain reoresents. He will not solve the health care crisis, he will continue to allow American troops to die in a never ending battle in Iraq, and his only solution to the housing crisis is to help the banks who cuased the problems.

It is time for a change that only the Democratic party can bring.

American united against the failed Bush policies and John "McSame" McCain

Who is the REAL loser??? The answer is we all are if we vote for McSame.
After the dust settles and if McBlame wins because of the brainwashed Democrats then we only have ourselves to blame. God I hope the few crazed Democrats that are planning to vote Republican this year don’t have kids. It’s a horrible thing to teach our little ones to vote for someone else because “Im bitter because my candidate didn’t win”.

Hillery and Obama have a lot more in common than McShame. Please read up on it before you decide. Just because you didn’t go to college doesn’t mean your expected to make stupid decisions for the rest of your lives.

Hillery,
Fix what you broke HRC or you will forever be known as the party divider who gave McSame the White House. Its a tough job that you have ahead of yourself but only you can unbrainwash the ZOMBIES that you created. Hopefully its not too late because history can be cruel and you will forever be remembered THE GREAT DIVIDE
Good Luck Clinton

Why does Blitzer always look like he's falling backwards and to the left...backwards and to the left....backwards and to the left. With that dumb deer in the headlights stare?

Why HRC can’t finally realized that it’s not all about her...
She will loose…!!
My main concern is that all these idiots that became fanatically obsessed with Clinton’s campaign for the Presidency don't vote for John McCain...
Or hurt themselves in a uncontrolled dim-witted frenzy…
Everyone knows the demographic she drew (the uneducated, small town backwoods folk, and poor old white men and women, and the racially prejudiced…
I’m sure the racially prejudiced folk will do what is expected of them...
By the way, I think HRC lost the nomination because when she didn’t win quickly like expected, her campaign turned into a hysterical whirlwind of desperation resulting in her saying and doing anything to win…
It was ridiculous…
It was a very bad ran campaign…
Now imagine how she would have run the country….
Why must you go out like a NUT Hillary?
Leave with some respect…
Why are you insistent on being the village idiot…?

Can you say RON PAUL syndrome…!!
Can you say RON PAUL…!
Can you say RON PAUL…!
Can you say RON PAUL…!
Can you say Duh…!
Unbelievable...!!

YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!

OBAMA 08!!

Rumor has it she will be in St. Paul tonight to endorse Obama. Then she is off to NYC for her campaign party.

No ticket together. That will be the biggest misake never done.

Senator Feinstein needs to stop pushing this unity thing, ain't gonna happen, Senator Clinton was screwed by the media and DC elites and her supporters are not going to just role over for a party that deserted them

Obama supporters have repeatedly shown "contempt and astounding ignorance toward their own countrymen" with the comments they post on these blogs. Cheney had to oplologize for HIS similar but not nearly as distasteful WV in-breeding comments. The Obama camp has insulted in vulgar and filthy ways, women, Latinos, the elderly, the poor whites, those lacking a college degree, Puerto Ricans, Ohioans, West Virginians, and HRC herself. Who would vote for the candidate such HATERS purport to support and obviously follow so blindly?

Too bad she apparently is not going to listen. Terry McAuffle is going to be the ruin of Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton does Not have any reason to concede the contest for Dem Candidate for President of The United States of America. In my opinion, we are seeing an attempt to unfairly influence the voters of the Great States of Montana and South Dakota. I have faith in these good folks, Living in God's Country so to speak, to not be hoodwinked into not voting. In my opinion, as well as others, Hillary Clinton is the only Electable Democrat to win the election in November. Hillary is still in the running folks, and will protect our Democracy & The American People. Hillary Clinton has allot of Heart and will be a champion of both The American People and Liberty. This is why our country is so great, our people and liberty. That's why so many around the world wish they were living here. Hillary will also be a tough representative when dealing with governments overseas. Hillary is no pushover! She will make a wonderful President of our Democracy, and more importantly,she will keep our great nation just that, a Democracy
