I find these newly independent voters interesting. They seemed to wait until their candidate wasn't going to win to switch parties. I've been an independent for years because I didn't see anyone I wanted to vote for, only against. This fall I waited too long to decide on who I liked and wasn't able to change my party affiliation in time for the election. I didn't get to vote in the only election I'v actually wanted to vote in in the last 30 years. If good independent candidates were running, it might make sense, but independent is not a third party. It is everybody else outside of a party structure. It is a good way to not have a voice in who gets elected. As an independent, Hillary wouldn't have a chance against McCain. She's already had her run against Obama and couldn't pull that off. How she could expect to win with half the democratic vote ( or less ) is beyond me.

HRC DOES NOT HAVE THE POP VOTE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AND THATS NOT HOW THINGS WORK IN THIS COUNTRY ANYWAY JUST ASK AL GORE!!!!!!!!! WE DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE COME OUT TO CACACUS (WHICH WAS ALL GOOD UNTIL BARACK STARTED WINNING THEM) I do not think we need superdelegates anymore than we need another 4yrs of Bush. The whole primary and election process does need to be updated but until then the RULES say the person with the MOST PLEDGED delegates WINS!!!! Mich is not even counted in this so called pop vote so HOW CAN HRC CLAIM to have something that does NOT exist!!!!!!!! Sit down already!!!!

YES WE CAN AND YES WE DID the Dems were split between the two candidates and thats why this race lasted so long so dont act like the Dems and Independents in this country did NOT want Barack Obama. Your candidate came up short and thats that. And last but not least HRC supporters please stop saying Barack supporters are mean it cuts BOTH ways.

To those who keep saying Clinton is ahead in the popular vote, no she is not. She has left out roughly 257,000 caucus state votes in her count of popular vote. You just have to know when to let some things go. Congratulations to Senator Obama for making history.

my say on the obama/ clinton is if hillary is not on the ballot i will not be voting this year. mccain or obama is not my choice, why can't all of them be on the ballot? at least if they are all on there people then can make their choice of who they want, and actually feel like they have a say, and feel like their vote means something. I think it is a shame that we can't have that opportunity to go and vote who we want to vote for. i am not the only person who feels this way.

I understand HRC supporters having emotions about the race. It was a good one. I hope that they can put this behind them and support the big picture of getting rid of Bush's failed policies and supporting change via the democratic party.

I voted in Michigan and I do not feel like the DNC could resolve the issue in the flawed elections in Michigan and Florida. I would love to have voted for real. HRC supporters, we need you to help make the change that is needed.

Democrats Unite.

when the dnc has a decision on florida and michigan before the primaries are over this definitely has an effect on clinton's ability to win wonder why????? now it is rumored she is pulling out of the race while people are still voting in south dakota and montana where did that come from?????? should of had a revote in florida and michigan paid for an outside group but NO BAMA said no /// I rather take away your votes then give them back later so i will look like the chosen one........ reminds me of george bush do anything to win especially in florida GORE/Bush all over again where is the democracy to that.... got my flag pin ready NO BAMA willnever win without clinton she has the woman vote the hispanic vote and the rational vote

Obama has been a total gentleman in this race giving Hillary all the respect in the world. I think we get the media views mixed up with Obama's views. What do you want him to do? You must accept the fact that he is in the lead and Hillary does have a valid point that he has not achieve the required amount of delegates giving her every reason to stay in the race. Who we should question are the super delegates! Why are they prolonging the race if they know that is almost impossible for Hillary to achieve the delegates? If the super delegates have not made a decision by tomorrow, this is going to hurt the party. This why she is still in the race because she feels like the super delegates has not made a decision to support Obama. I have much respect for both Candidates. I am just ready to get this over so that we can move on and focus on McCanin for the general race.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein just because you endorsed Clinton and think that Hillary Clinton should stand tall, as women and she need to be the VP. I disagree with that, If Sen. Barack Obama was last would you say the same thing "NO" The Clinton's has too much bagged. Bill cannot keep his mouth close. That will Mess up the "Yes We Can" & the word of “Change” Obama stands for and work hard for. The Clinton keep thinking that they are the one's who can Beat McCain I don’t think so she voted for the War, NAFTA, the credit card rates; we cannot forget the $800. 000.00 Bill got for trade he was working while wife was running this champagne. It is time to move out all the old and put the new in office. The time is here for use here in Californian to vote Miss Feinstein out. We as American have to look the pick with a real eye on things NOT with someone else on look. And why would Hillary take the VP slot. She keep saying she is the only one the can beat McCain so why waste the American time. Obama All The Way

It's amazing how people think there is a matter of importance in the millions that voted for Clinton, but think the millions that voted for Obama are not important.

In a race, there must be a winner and a loser. In this case, Sen. Obama is the winner and Sen. Clinton is in second place.

This really shows ignorance in the Democratic party. Ron Paul is still on the ballots for the republicans. Does anyone hear him trying to derail McCain? No; because it's about unity. Together we stand; divided we fall.

Good luck!

Well Jon and Newly Independent in Oregon,
I would have the two of you know that popular vote does not decide the General Election either. It is based on the electoral college. Inside of being upset with the process why not try to do something about. We all want to blame others for our shortcomings instead of pointing the finger at ourselves. Senator Obama ran a better thought out campaign which is the reason he is in the lead. 15-months ago nobody even knew who he was. He came on the scene and began drawing young people and old, white and black, rich and poor and before anyone knew it, he was in the lead.

I agree with placing Senator Clinton as either Sec. of State or Health and Welfare. She would be outstanding in both capacities, and could do true good for the people. I am an avid Obama supporter, but also know Clinton is NOT the "devil incarnate." Hopefully this can all end tonight...

I agree with you Fee from Phili that the trash talking definately needs to stop. Obama and Clinton are very similar on the issues and both are juxed opposed to McCain.

I do not agree with you on the joint ticket however. While said ticket may appease some clinton supporters, it would turn off the host of us who are independents, republicans looking for something different, or newly added democrats. Among this camp there is a perception of the Clintons and their brand off politics that we are tired of.

The overwhelming criticism of Obama is his lack of experience. while I would like to see an Obama/Richardson ticket, he will most likely need to team up with an older white male from a middle or sothern state. As one of his main talking points against McCain in November will be on the war it is crucial that his running mate has a similar voting pattern as Obama on this issue. Clinton does not fit the bill. I doubt we've seen the last of Sen. Clinton, right now it just isn't her time.

Do not doubt the effect of an extremely unpopular president on McCain's chances for election. America is ready for dialogue, we are ready for economic reform, we are ready to get out of Iraq.

Lets keep our eyes on the prize!

I feel that at this point in the best interest of the party Hillary should go ahead after the primary tonight is over and if Obama has the numbers she should conceed (sp) to him. I feel that if the shoe was on the other foot people would be decrying for Obama to drop out long before now. What has Hillary done that is so great that she deserves all this coddling and special consideration. If she wants to play in the big arena and play hard ball..., she should recognize when the game is over and pick up her marbles and go home. Hillary.., leave with some shred of dignity.

Obama has run a magnificent campaign one that will go down in history, raised more money etc. the list is long. He has been a prefect gentleman to her. He's played by all the rules laid out before him and still he's not good enough for some of you haters. Stop letting your prejudices against this man of color cloud your judgement. Pick up his book "Audacity of Hope" and read it so that you can familiarize yourselves with your next President of these here United States.

Most of us writing here are in no position to vote for 4 more years of McCain.

Perhaps Hillary and Bill (and their friends the Bushes, and the CIA) know something we don't. Perhaps that is why she will not drop out. perhaps a "miracle" will happen. Perhaps there is one final ace to be played in order to continue the Bush/Clinton dynasty. Jackson Stephens is a very powerful man. I, for one, will not breathe until it is over.

I feel very sorry for Obama supporters. We all wish that we could believe that Mr. Obama will be the agent of change. However, with his record of extreme fanatic leftist ideology, McCain will bury his rhetoric by November. Obama supporters are in for a reality check. Check #1 will come in the form of the continued fear among most Americans that we need someone experienced during war time. Check #2 will come in the form of rural voters who racist or not, can't bring themselves to vote for Obama. Check #3 will com in the form of Karl Rove's attack machine which will surfuce every connection he has to the Chicago Mob (most well-read Americans understand his direct business relationships in Chicago).

Here is the finally tally for all all Obama fans:
25% of Hillary voters will vote for McCain
20% of Hillary voters in states like California and New York (states that are easy to win any way) will vote for Obama
5% will just stay home.
100% of Independents will support the their CHAMPION...Mr. McCain (everyone knows he has been their favorite guy for years). No way independent voters will believe leftist Obama is a uniter.

Good news: Hillary Clinton will run again in 4 years and make Obama her Secretary of State.
