CNN

I am overwhelmed with Joy. I cannot tell you how powerful this is! My respect for this man contnues to grow!

remember JFK was a one term senator with no expierence, and he became a great president, so all you hillary supporters wake up and smell the coffee or are you so vengeful that you will cut off your nose to spite your face grow-up .......... it time to let go of that fear and walk into the future

I think it is very bad of the news networks to keep anouncing that Obama is allready the nominee before the polls have closed. And you say that you all are not biased??????

McCaine 08

Notice how it says Obama will "claim" the nomination because he's not actually winning it. No one got the needed number of pledged delegates. Don't forget, the super delegates votes don't REALLY get cast until the convention, if they would be needed.

Hello Mr. President. Please, please, please, make good decisions during the remainder of the campaign and then in the White House.

Congrats Obama
Obama/Clinton 08

Charlotte................I will pray for you.

Might I suggest that instead of changing the total Superdelegate count on your screen, you let us know who the superdelegate is that has made a decesion.....

DEMOCRATS UNITE NOW!

lou,im sorry but stop the bull.social security and medacare are going to destroy this country in the next 6 years.there is no way to stop it and both parties know it.they put 2 morons and one nice guy who knows nothing about econoices.yes i,m a truck driver but i still see the problems.oh, and dont forget the 9 trillion dollar debt..why not start looking at congress for the spending mess?Kennedy,mckain,polousie,those morons from new jersey,new york,ohio,and whats that big state,califoriamexieco.sorry bankrupted californamexico.

I am glad he beat her because she really thought she would get it. I guess she could at the convention if the super delegates changed their mind.
Most of all, I hope he doesn't think he has to pick her for VP. I think she would hurt him after he took office.
She would do anything to make her look good, if that is possible.
I am a registered republican woman 69 years old and she didn't fool me.

How come FOX has allready shown 2123 for Obama. Are you behind???

YES HE CAN! YES WE CAN!

Way to BO!

This is a great way to seal the deal!

Eat your heart out Hillary!

CNN ----- please – there will be no Hillary on our ticket!

Obama can win the election without Hillary!

Go Obama! You worked hard for this!

CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICA. For the first time in my adult lifetime I can truly feel patriotic. All the times I have been made to feel less a human being or American. All the times during the civil rights movements when I was one of four black kids in an all white school being spit on, beat on and other shameful things. Michele, I know what you meant. And thank you for saying those words because for those who were on the other side of racism, they will never know what you meant. NOW our children along with others of color know that this country has to accept people of any color to one day be the President of the United States. THIS COUNTRY does not belong to one people. Black, white, red, yellow we are all one. Thanks to you and Senator Obama.

The new Genographic shows that human beings are one and have even traced the genetic history of some white people to Africa and explained it is migration in many thousand years that made people to scatter all over the world.
Obama's victory may be a closing of the circle. A Black man in WhiteHouse?It is mind boggling. May America be able to learn about the undercurrents of what is going on.

This is hoping he won't be knocked off like Kennedy,Martin Luther King Jnr and others.We should all shout in the world it is anew Dawn!

I am truly ashamed of my country and the DNC of which I am no longer a member. This will be the third time they (party elites) selected a loser. Remember when "every vote counts" was the party motto. It went down the toilet this time around. Votes don't count unless you vote the way the DNC wants you to.
Howard Dean – a loser himself – created this mess and nows wants party unity to help him look good. Not a snow balls chance in____.
Unity will come in Nov. when McCain wins!!!

Charlotte,
Please tell us how ignorant, blind, and uncaring about her country Hillary is when she endorses Barack Obama. If she is so smart and the best person for president, why can't she see what a "flake" Obama is?

K
Obama didn't steal delegates from Michigan. Michigan screwed up by moving their date. DUH!! At least the votes count now or would you rather they didn't. Get over it.

6 points away by your count ,

Fired Up Ready 2 Go
Obama 08'

I would vote for a ticket that contained Obama and either Colin Powell or better yet Condolezza Rice as VP. I will not vote for a ticket that has a Clinton name on it.

Can we elect a naive, inexperienced, politician to the nation's highest office without even marginally thinking about what he really stands for?

YES WE CAN.

Congratulations to you Mr. President. Job well done. The entire world is just waiting for you and your ideas. My Children and grandchildren will have a better world to live in because of you.

All Americans should be proud. Right now he is just 7 delegates short of the nomination. Obama has ran a good clean campaign and he is being blessed by God. America should be proud of the fact that we all looked beyond this man's skin color and judged him by the content of his character and professionalism. He is a down to earth person and he will win the presidency. God rewards righteousness.

God bless you Barack Obama ! You will make a great President for all of the people of America!

Today sentor obama will be become the nonomiee but he will not win . If he is so great why cant he carry a small area as purteo rico ? . He will carry the midwest and probley the south but MaCain will be our president. If obama is the nomoiee i will be changing partys .i support clinton but i will back Macin before i would ever back obama which is what i plan to do . Macain for 2008

Charlotte all of you who spew your hate are the shameful ones in this country. The democratic campaign is over and we should think of more important issues. Stop being selfish and disgraceful!

the new number of delegates needed by Obama is actually 7

Amen to Charlotte....this is so scary.....I can not believe how he has been able to manipulate this country....just like he did 12 years ago when he first ran for an office...But Hillary is still going to the convention and a lot can happen between now and then,,,and he knows it. That would be the only reason he would want her on his ticket (that and 18 million more reasons)....but McCain will get it so none of this really matters. Be glad when Nov gets here and we don't have to hear his name anymore... By the way, rarely see CNN print these that go against Obama.

Superdelegates shouldn't be added in. Obama cannot "clinch" the nomination even if he won every delegate left to win. Superdelegates are not pledged or committed in any way and are not added to the total needed for the "magic number" until the roll call at the convention.

What injustice! So he is 10 away, now 7 and two more states do not count??? I am ashamed to be a democrat!!

Danny G I agree with you. Let us move forward especially for the sake of our young ones in Iraq. They are more important than our selfish devisive feelings.

congratulation's obama . And i will be voting for mcain this fall.Hillary clinton was the best candidate for the country but thanx to all you obama thugs i will vote for mcain . Hillary clinton spent her whole life helping poor and the blacks in america in turn they all stabed her in the back for a guy we know nothing about.

Thank you hillary looking forward to 2012 .

For the last few months, we stood at a crossroads, contemplating our milestone decision. Today is the day we take our first few steps out in the direction we have chose.

You have my vote, Mr. Obama. I have the utmost confidence in you.

It's not a powerful combination.

The Clintons are trying to steal the thunder from Obama now by announcing her vicious dream to be a vp. The Clintons will upstage President Obama and make his presidency misery if he FOOLISHLY pick her to be his vp.

HCR will NEVER HELP Obama! The Clintons will only help themselve building a Clinton Dynasty!

Suz, you're obviously an idiot....and ignorance is bliss, it appears. Why don't you go vote for John McCain? (so he can send your dumb – I mean "less educated" – behind to Iraq)

C'mon!!!!

No whammies, No whammies, No whammies!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Senator Obama! I'm proud to be a part of this historic moment. You're the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congradulations Obama and congrads to Clinton. She ran a great race. Kitchen sink and all. She's got street cred with me. Can't wait to vote for Obama in November. Can I cast my vote now??

Obama '08

We are so proud of you and wish you well. God Bless America

historic and amazing. when books are written about this election one conclusion that people will arrive at will be that people of the time rejected the standard beared of the old guard and chose the unknown.

the next phase of this historic race will be the resolution of the question of what the country will do. whose personal history and narrative will sway the country? the war hero vs. the inheritor of the promise of america.

This is in reference to Danny from Boca Raton, FL. This is the unity that the Democratic Party needs. Both Barack and Hillary have put on great campaigns, and have each rallied the Party in ways nobody has in decades. This Party once united will be unbeatable.

Congratulations to both for well run Campaigns but now it is time to focus on November and making sure the Republicans do not get 4 more years.

History is being made and I feel so priviledged to witness it. What a wonderful day and what a wonderful candidate!!! Go Barack Obama!!

Congratulations America, Our time has come, this movement is real, and change is on the way.

Let's take our country back from right wing, and morally questionable politicians!

Yes we can!

Congratulations for a well run campaign and winning! We need to restore trust in our government and move in a positve way. Enough of all these corruptions and hope we get rid of all corruptions and no more of this "business as usual type of government".

If hillary loses today I'll be really sad. If she says that we should come behind Obama I'll vote for Obama! Hillary for VP!!!

The Fat Lady has sung!
Everyone has left the building!
The lights have been turned off!
The party is over!

It's time for Clinton to take a graceful bow and exit stage right. It's time for Democrats to unite.. stand up and support our presidential candidate... Barack Obama. And it's time to shut down McCain.

Obama '08

Since the super delegates can change their vote at any time up until they actually cast it at the convention, I would think the congratulations might be a tad premature. A lot could happen in the interim – and votes can shift.

congradulations obama, I am proud of you. you made the nin=mination you will get thr 10 votes. praise the Lord

im a republican and in glad its done, finally you dems wrap it up. OBAMA 08 (yes I support him im an Obamacan). We will pop open the champagne tonight and then begin the funeral preparations for Bush#3 and his campaign, We shall bury him on in Nov.

And that's pretty much, game, set, match. 10 delegates needed and that's not counting the last primary votes from SD and MT. And he just needs 33% of the vote there to get 10 pledged delegates. It's time to move beyond the Democratic Primaries now...

HISTORY IS BEING MADE TODAY!

For the first time in my adult life I am truely ashamed of my country. How this nobody who is the biggest flake in history can be the nominee is unbelievable. God help us all. Maybe we all write Hillary on our ballots in November we can stop this maddness.

I'd live for Obama to clinch the nomination WITHOUT the last two primaries.

I am a Repubican waiting for Obama to win to switch affiliation. However, if Obama picks Hillary as veep, I wil sit out the election for the THIRD time in a row.

When this season is over Kenneth I will miss it a lot. By the way at
7:30 pm he is 5 delegates short.

YAY, Obama just went up to 2111 within a minute....7 more to go..........

yes we can!!!!!!! Let's put the 'we the people' back into government with President Obama!!! united we stand, divided we fall!!!!

I think it's time to get over Dems and Reps. I'm voting Libertarian – the best of both worlds.

O-bama? Oh God, help us. And as for Michelle redoing the White House, maybe she should take a break until she learns how to dress herself appropriately. Keep your hands off our beloved White House. Jackie Kennedy she certainly ain't. Stick with redoing the trailer, Michelle. That's more your style.

The AP announced Obama clinched the nomination hours ago. As usual CNN, you're a day late and a dollar short. Get it together please.

ALL THAT HARD WORK PAID OFF BARACK OBAMA ,I CANT WAIT TILL NOVEMBER ...THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO VOTED FOR HIM......

Congratulations! Now lets change America. Support all people and change the ecomony!

In the home stretch....just need wins in Montana and South Dakota to take Obama over the top tonight!

If not, then a few more delegates tomorrow will do it!

its over!what an exciting night this is going to be.the dynastys are over.time for my generation to take the reins.

Hi Mr. and Mrs. President. It was a fight to the finish. I enjoyed your strategy. You didn't respond to someone else's move or words, you mapped out your own course. Again congratulations to you and Mrs. Obama.

Viet Nam????? The Democrat War////////

The Dream is happening!

Why steal 4 delegates from Clinton in Michigan then? What a moron. He will lose in November.

Let's not forget that the Clinton campaign has hinted that they'll appeal the FL and MI decision to the credentials committee, and even though they got half votes, they got all of their delegates. If an appeal would be successful, then the magic number would suddenly be 2210.

So, let’s keep going for about 102 more, shall we?

RB...where are you looking because I have been paying attention all day and the number has consistently been dwindling down.

Congratulations to every Democrat and every American!!!!!!!

You want to keep using my words CNN.. More JFK's word's. "Never Negotiate from fear.".. Why do you do this??? You have your own Archives. Andrew Jackson.... The New Deal???? Dreamer's...
Democrat's???? Garbage.... Viet Nam? They keep forgeting about that War....

yaaaaaaaaayyy!!!!

Phew. Well, that'll do it.

18:1 at last count just today. They tried to give Hillary a chance to bow out gracefully without being humiliated. Instead she chose this path, leaving the superdelagates no choice.

I'm so happy!!

I THINK THE MEDIA SHOULD STOP BASHING HILLARY, AND WAIT FOR THE RESULTS TONIGHT FROM MONTANA AND SOUTH DAKOTA. HILLARY MIGHT SURPRISE EVERYONE TONIGHT WHEN THE RESULTS SHOWS THAT SHE IS THE WINNER FOR BOTH MONTANA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA. SHE SHOULD BE GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE, AND I DON'T THINK HAS GOTTEN THAT CHANCE. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN WOMEN WILL ALWAYS STRUGGLE FOR THEIR PLACE IN SOCIETY, AND FOR THEIR VOICES TO BE HEARD.

I can't believe that on an historic night like tonight you are keeping comments out

10, 9, 8, 7, 6..........1

Break out the champagne!

A sweet day it is! A great conclusion to this HISTORIC primary. Congrats to both Obama and Clinton!

No Republican in the White House for '08!

RB June 3rd, 2008 7:10 pm ET

The table on CNN's home page shows Obama is 100 delegates short of the number needed and there are not even 100 delegates available in todays races
So how can he be 10 delegates short
Get your facts straight CNN

Last time I checked, 1748+360 did in fact total to 2108

This moment has been looong awaited - what a night! Congrats to Obama and his team for running an incredible campaign. Who would have imagined this a year ago.

America election is so intresting which I wish to percitipate ot, I've been following this election from day1 of the primary. I Love both candidate runing for presidental election for democratic, They're the best to rule the world which I beleived they will. Obama for president and Clinton as his vice is intresting. Bless America & both of them the candidate for president as well

let's not waste time congratulating ourselves. bring on the obama-mccain debates!

half a dozen of these debates posted on youtube and you will see mccain supporters dropping like flies.

It's time to put our differences aside and change America for the good.

Democrates '08.

YES WE DID! ON TO NOVEMBER, AND THEN THE WHITE HOUSE!

i don't know what I'm going to do in the evenings after this. Maybe I'll finish reading a book.

Life is Getting better for ALL AMERICANS! No Matter what Race, Gender or Beliefs!

History in the Books 2008!

I am dissappointed and the superdelegates for not waiting until after all the votes have been cast and the polls closed..Why even bother with the vote today if the were going to do this..It's so dissappointing..I have never seen such sexism toward a woman before..It is so disrespectful..I will vote for Obama on if Hillary is his choice for Vice-president..Otherwise I will stay home...You guys in the media spin everything unfairly against Hillary... You guys are so disrespectful...

Cognratulations Obama! This is a well deserved win for you. All the best!

Very good campaign everyone. now lets all take a deep breath and pledge NOT to vote against our interests, shall we? If you are a Hilary supporter, and have any knowledge of the issues, how can you vote for McCain? It just doesn't make logical sense. Then again, since when have American politics been about logic?

History Has Just Been Made!

I am really happy tonight. I am ready for the good fight come november!!!!! HRC, thanks for beating up our man, he is now ready for the big game because of your historic effort this year. McGop HAS NO CHANCE!!!

Poor America.

He Will Have The Magic Number Before He Gives His Speach Tonight!

Congratulations, President Obama!

We did it!!! Go Obamanation. Republicans get ready. LMAO

Amen !!!!!

Celebrate good times, come on! There's a party going on tonight!!

Obama 08

He may be 10 short of delegates...but he's 17.9 million away from getting it in Nov. from McCain!!!

tonight will be the GREATEST NIGHT for AMERICA since Lincoln and until November when we can all say Mr. President to Obama!

10 delegates and counting.. think we can get that out of SD and MO

YES WE CAN!!!

moronic Clintonistas it is OVER!!!!

Lets Unit and win this thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN , YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN.

HILLARY! COME ON NOW LETS BE FAIR AND AND UNIT AND WIN
THIS THING.

The Super delegates should be the ones that are penalized
for taking so long to make their decisions regardless of
who they were supporting. They could have prevented
all the problems within the democratic party after seeing
how far obama was ahead.

It will be really rude of Hillary if she does not concede the nomination tonight. There is no doubt that Obama will win the nomination tonight. There are no other contests. It is her duty to concede graciously. If she doesn't, it will seem like she is really greedy and refuses to acknowledge his win.

when this primary season is over we will need a good night sleep

almost there OBAMA!!!!!

He'll get the remaining 10 he needs to sew up the nomination. Such great news!!!

Can't believe this is happening... finally. History is being written. This should be a moment of pride for any American and this whole generation around the world. Something is happening...

Congratulations America!

These superdelegates who have waited until the very last minute to jump the bandwagon on the person who will most help THEM in the future should be very, very ashamed.

As should those who are still um..."thinking" (?) about whom they want to endorse? Cowards. "Hmmm..if I don't vote, others will vote and then I don't have to make a decision and STILL be a hero and secure MY OWN future!"

I am disgusted with my own party. This whole situation is just not right.

DEMOCRATS '08

Obama's campaign is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of some very energetic people. The results will justify the hard work.

O-B-A-M-A!!!

America....this is great news....Blacks were 1/2 people...then they became 3/4 ...now you are mature to have your first African American President? wow!!!

This has been long over due...looking back at the mess caused by the very experienced Bush with all the brains he had around him.....

2012.... I promise you that the Republicans will have a woman to challenge Obama for the his second-term.....and it will really be fun

The table on CNN's home page shows Obama is 100 delegates short of the number needed and there are not even 100 delegates available in todays races
So how can he be 10 delegates short
Get your facts straight CNN

YAY!!! Michelle will redecorate the White House. NEW ENERGY on Pennsylvania Avenue – whew! what a relief THAT will be!

This has been a very exciting and at time nasty campaign... I congratulate Sen. Obama on his campaign, I will vote for him the the General Election. I also want to congratulate Sen. Clinton for putting up a heck of a fight! She has raised the bar for women in the political arena in this country. I am proud to support her, support her campaign and to have contributed my hard earn money to. I believe in her message and I look forward to listen to Sen. Obama's message as we get close to november. these two are patriots and I'm very proud that they have chose to serve under the democratic party.

Finally.
Maybe now we can turn our attention to the really important task in November – beating Bush/McCain.

Thank you everyone for coming together and making this happen.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
