CNN

Florida delegates only got 1/2 their vote. Michigan undecided votes went to Obama instead of being divided among all the candidates of record at the time of the primary. Once again, the Democrats have managed to screw up an election, divide the party and lose votes. As a Florida resident, I am so disgusted that I am deserting my party and will refuse to vote democratic.

The only devisive force we had all the was Hillary Clinton..and her supporters knew it all along.
How can you bring people together if you only preach destruction?
If by now she have not motivated her supporters to unite...WHEN???
WHY WOULD HILLARY HAVE HER SUPPORTERS SAY NO HILLARY...VOTE MCCAIN.
BECAUSE IT IS EXACTLLY WHAT THEY HEARD.
AMERICA FOR OBAMA
OBAMA 08

Clinton is the one who dragged this out. She should have done what other candidates did when they saw the writing on the wall. Instead, she was led by her ego and desire for power. If the Democrats loose in November, She will bne the one to blame and will be shunned by other party members.

Media (CNN & CNBC) got what they have wanted -Obama nomination. The DNC leaders got what they have wanted to see – Obama nomination. I will do what I can do – not watch CNN & CNBC, and go to the registration office tomorrow to change from Democrate to Independent.

Ickes and the Columbian lobbyist ruined Clinton's campaign. Her strategy was horrible. Whoever was in charge of the money, also did a horrible job.

People are making the mistake that the long primary process is what hurt the democratic party. That's not true at all. What hurt the party is Pelosi and Dean's total lack of quality leadership, the DNC's deliberate and calculated attempts to "set up" the whole election process in favor of their candidate, the constant bashing of Hillary by the media, and Obama and his campaign's deliberate and calculated use of the race card and sexist attitudes. Those are the issues that created the major divide in the party. And that's not even going into his attraction to racist and extremist leaders, his own racism, and his very questionable judgment and lack of experience.

Obama may win the nomination, but he won't win the GE. And people will blame Hillary for it. But Hillary didn't hurt Obama any more than he hurt Hillary by "attack ads". Obama hurt himself by his own past history.

Get over it >>> it's time to move on, it's time to get going ......

The time has come for us as fellow democrats to unite for the good of the party. WE do notneed to hand this election over to Jojn Mcain.
We need to support whoever the nominee is. All this bickering is only going to lead to 4 more years of Bush onomics and I for one do not want that. So please people let's keep our smarts about us and come together for a better country for our kids.

Why is James Carville allowed on the studio set at CNN? The man is disgraceful and he should not be allowed on tv. I am so angry to see his mug on Lou Dobbs tonight.

I think that this entire election has galvanized the party and the electorate. If you go back to super-tuesday and before (while the republican candidate was still up for grabs), you will notice that in most if not all cases the Democratic runner up still got more votes than McCain. So, as this contest has run down to the final primaries it has been a good lesson for all involved to stay out in front of the news. Now as we move into the lull before the convention, Obama will still have plenty of time to grease up his support and build his finances.

Hillary did run a decent campaign though but was more hurt by the way she started as the heir apparent (but didn't win Iowa).

In as much as many of us may be temporarily bitter about the way the nomination process, we must admit we have learned a lot about our democratic process. Didn't we learn that Michigan and Florida votes counted even though voters were originally told their voters and candidates were told the votes would not count? Did we finally learn the role of the superdelegates and the stark difference between the caucus and primary systems? Did we learn that managing a campaign well is just as important as being experienced and being a party insider? Did we learn that the American political process has evolved to the point that we may have the first African American president and the first female VP (both supported by the most vibrant constituents the DP has ever seen)? Indeed, it's time we look at this experience for all its positive that it has brought to our party. The world is changing, so must we.

Go Obama !!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton has divided the party. Hillary should not of conveniently left her name on the ballot in Michigan and mis lead Flordia with her fundraising before the primary there. Out of sight ...Out of mine......

It's not Hillary's job to worry about how her comments about O's ineptness and lack of experience limit his abilities when she is running in the primaries. It's Obama's challenge to prove he really does measure up – and he doesn't.

GOOD JOB.

If he wants to loose voters have Hillary on his ticket for VP she is NUTS
Its being spread by Republicans they want 2 Presidents ,they will put Obama the back cubical to stock paper in the printer,dust,file.

Have already seen /heard our limit of Hillary tactics

GOD Give us a rest enough of CLINTONs,Bushes ,McShames,Mc Dooms and not to forget enough of BILL the skirt chaser plus
I though we were for
Change she is old politics
Hope – she is Hopeless
Yes We Can " Move her right off the list and out of the oval office. "
She is a LOOSER

where is john king?????

Hillary Clinton has offered to be Barack Obama running mate. If that doesn't unfy the party i don't know what will. Obama must accept Clinton's offer. If he doesn't the numbers we see coming out of South Dakota and Montana wil reflect themselves at the polls in November with a John McCain victory.

What a great day in American history!!!!!!!!!
Yes I do think the party is divided and everybody knows whose fault it is. The Drama Queen.

YEAH! YEAH! ALL I WANT KNOWN AT THIS POINT IS THAT AS A STRONG OBAMA SUPPORTER SINCE DAY ONE I DO NOT WANT HILLARY AS VICE PRESIDENT.

I DO NOT TRUST HER, I DO NOT APPREICATE HER NEGATIVE DEVISIVE CONDUCT THROUGHOUT THIS RACE. HILLARY WILL PROVE TO BE DANGEROUS.

JUST LOOK AT THE WAY SHE HAS STOLEN THE LIMELIGHT ALL DAY LONG , THIS SHOULD BE ABOUT OBAMA . NOT HILLARY, THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF HOW SHE WILL STEAL THE LIMELIGHT FROM HIM WHILE IN OFFICE EVERYTHING THAT GOES RIGHT SHE WILL TAKE CREDIT, EVERYTHING THAT GOES WRONG SHE WILL BLAME OBAMA.

June 3, 2008

Remember this date, as it is historic. The first African American presidential nominee. Wow! Wow! Wow!

face it there is nothing wrong with letting democracy work the way it was designed to work. those who say it was divisive are the ones who wanted to ignore the will of the people and annoint obama even though 50% of the voters do not want him as the candidate. those of us who do not support obama certainly would like the party to care that this man is not qualified for this job, but they will appoint him and lose by a landslide in Nov. sorry about your luck dems.

Get Over IT! Please! We have to show the world we will take this to the highest level of the United States of America Historical Movement!

How this type of public enmity can unite anything is beyond my understanding.

Hillary or McCain

I think it was good for everyone only the strong survive. I bet you the Republicans whis they had a longer primary season. I now so many of them wish they had someone else other then McCain

both of these states are going to vote republican in the general election.....but most of the democrats in these states are more conservative anyway.......they wont lean to obama in the general due to obamas ties with his church.......

I'm still trying to figure out why the Democrat hierarchy value the citizens of one state as a full vote, while citizens of another State, are valued as half a vote. Does not seem very democratic to me.

Lets see the actual effects: Obama raised more cash than anyone else in history, he has registered more voters for his party than anyone else in history, he learned to debate and respond to criticism... but oh no! Let's find fault in Hillary even when there wasn't a fault to begin with! Way to unite their party...

I agree that it has dampened the enthusiasim but it has weakened us. I hope Barak will find a way to lift our spirits. He sure do know how to do that.

Primary??? The Democrat's are still in the Nursery....

Hillary has done nothing but harm to the party. She did it to herself by envoking race into the game. She played her self. Lots of Black voters would have stayed with her had she not done this... then she took it even furthur and started promoting a poor white uneducated campain... this was a stupid move.

DEMS UNITE

McSame : 26,738,490 votes
Obama: 126,738,489 votes

Hillary Supporters! Tell All Of Your Friends To Come And Join The Winning Team! Together We Can Elect Obama!

so what?

Hillary Supporters! Come And Join The Winning Team! Make Your Vote Count! Get Behind Obama And Vote With Up In The General Election!

The Democratic Party will never again be the same. I have never known so many Democrats - many within my own circle of friends - vow - and I mean VOW! - to re-register as Independents. I know I'm doing that, and so will they!

Regardless of the length of the democratic primary, I had pledged my support for Hillary about 3 years ago, knowing that she would one day run for president.

My decision has nothing to do with the primary, during which she was unceremoniously villified by Barack and his blinded supporters. It's one thing to support a candidate, but it is another thing to build someone up at the expense of the other. Barack and his cohorts have unfairly attacked Hillary much more than the other way around. Therefore, I am confused as to why she is being blamed for being divisive. Take a look in the mirror Barack. Take a look in the mirror. I hope you are proud and by the way, where are your plans on the issues? You are the only one to still give a clear indication regarding your stance.

Yes, I also believe that our long primary harmed us, but I believe we will pull it together before November. This allowed McBush to gather information that Obama will be ready for.

I don't think the long race divided the party. I think a candidate divided the party. Senator Obama has energized the Democratic Party in a way that I have never seen in my 32 years of voting. I would have normally known who the candidates were and maybe listened to 1 or 2 debates, but I have watched every televised debate, watched more CNN than I care to admit (haha) and blogged a lot about this election.

it wasn't the length of the primary season, but the negative tone, kitchen sink approach used by the Clintons. It could have been a respectful, enthusiastic debate on the issues. instead it was a host of race-baiting, misspeaks, divisive actions, etc. by both her and her husband. they made it okay for the hate and racism espoused by many Americans to be voiced and acted upon. that is what has divided the party and america, not the length of the contest.

It gave Hillary more time to sabotage the party by stabbing Obama in the back at every opportunity.
Now the GOP using her words against us.
Shame on you Clintons.!!!!!!!!!!! Traitors!

I am a VERY proud supporter of Hilary!!!
She has done so much good for this country, and would make the best president!!

BUT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR....MCCAIN!!! It would be an absolute catastrophy to put another republican in the white house!

I truly believe Obama will make a good president!! He is very close on issues to Hilary and ,because he is black, will do wonders for Americas' global image!!

Former Hilary Supporter for OBAMA!! (BUT YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS HAVE GOT TO MAKE US FEEL MORE WELCOME)

If people were fair they could have adviced Hillary to drop out long time ago as they foresaw the final results some months ago.

Personally, I would like to see Hillary (Bill & Chelsea) run as an Independent. That is, I would like to see if:

1. The Republicans will still be KIND to Hillary

2. Hillary can "beat" the Obama machine, given a second opportunity

3. Hillary's active supporters can shut-up AFTER Obama gets to the Oval Office!!!

4. Hillary has the FUNDS to run an EFFECTIVE general campaign!!
