CNN

HE doesn't need us?
He'll make George McGovern look like a winner!

All those who feel like you cant support Obama, he doesnt need you anyway. I hope all of you get what you deserve.

Thannk God Hillary didnt win the Nomination!!!

we are lifelong Dems in this household, We are voting for Nader.
Can't support the empty suit.

Future President Obama:
Please NEVER, EVER pick Hillary for VEEP or anything else in your cabinet. She should have conceded tonight, but wanted to rain on this historic night for you and for America. Soooooo like a Clinton. Because, it's all about them, you know.
Sincerely,
Another white woman from the midwest

I really doubt if obama can win. Some one who is a centrist is more likely to win. I am also doubtful if he can really live up to all this expectations and hype if infact he is the nominee.. I wonder who will be calling the shots in democrat administration led by obama..

I dont believe he can take strong decisions. or stand. he is hoping he can talk his way to bring people together..

Weak on Economy.. will be blackmailed by the ultra liberals and african americans to further their agenda.. which most of the country may not like

I voted for Hillary and all I can say is McCain '08
A LEADER we can believe in!

If Hillary is not in the race then my vote is for McCain. McCain will be the next president of the United States if Obama ends up running. If Mcain has to run against Hilary then Hilary will be our next president. McCain knows this.

Correction...

For those who say he's not experience and not ready, I'm sure you guys have been told that sometime in your life and all you were asking for was the opportunity to prove yourself. Maybe Hillary would have been better, maybe not but she didn't have that extensive amount of experience either. Mostly it was Bill and when you get Hillary you should be voting for her on what she can do for you, not her husband. He already had his time.

And besides, I've come to realize being so experienced HASN'T always done us well. Hell Bush was Governer of Texas and know look at what he has helped to do. But keep in mind, he wasn't by himself, he had other so called experienced people in Washington and now we have $4.00 gas, foreclosures, high food and energy cost, no healthcare for and whatever else. So Barack is right about one thing, it time to change Washington and that's with the help of every American.

Hillary Clinton has won the POPULAR VOTE! What part of that FACT do the "Super Delegates" NOT UNDERSTAND?

Give Hillary respect or lose 18million votes

United we stand, divided we fall!! Would you really rather vote for 4 more years of McBush?

Hillary a lady liberty has spoken

Healthcare for everyone.

Congratulations Obama. Congratulations Obama upporters. God Bless all of you. from Canada

In his best child day care voice –

that was a good one Diane

Did Hillary even mention Obama in her speech? Did I miss it? If she mentioned him, I don't remember it?

Although I'm an Obama supporter and excited about his win, but I still will say congradulations to Hillary's win in S.Dakota. I truly hope some if not all of Hillary supporters will give Obama a chance. Some are not choosing him because his supporters are being mean, but we are both guilty on both sides. Some may do it for race or they simply just don't like him, but I hope you will at least go for him because of the issues. I didn't like to much of Hillary's character of late, but I do know I would have voted for her because her issues were in line with mine and after how she fought in the primary definitely proved she would have fought in the White House, but Obama will do the same as well. I'm not going to say we don't need you or convince you other wise, but Hillary did run a race that kept Obama on his toes and I will at least give credit that she is a fighter because I do feel she would have fought to do something for the American people. I will welcome Hillary support towards Obama if she chooses to and hope some of you guys will join in time.

The sad story tonight is that Hillary Clinton will destroy the Demcratic Party.......

Congratulations Barak on your success, but please do not chose Hilary for V.P., You will end up lossing.

What if Sen. Obama is unable to compete in Nov.? Who, then would be the one to go up against Sen. McCain??

like Grandmother us to say.AND I quote.
Cut off your nose to spite your face!!!
To vote for Mc cain to hurt Obama and suffer another 4years is EVIL.
EVIL ,EVIL..Please let's work together to get things back together.
I am tired,I am weak and I am worn....God just know we need HELP.
...................................................................................May God continue to Bless.

Congratulations Barack and Michelle for a job well done. For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country as well. Enjoy the evening you should and you will be fine as those Americans who don't like you will NEVER like you because of your skin color. So be it! There are many of us who will support you regardless.

I see HRC is still going forward, I for one am NOT surprised at all.

If you want unity, form a joint Obama/Clinton ticket.

Congratulations Obama!

McCain tried to use "change"–ROFL. Sorry, but that's pretty weak and unoriginal for someone tied so closely to the failed Bush policies of taxes, war, GI Bill, torture, and more.

We need real change!

Dem '08

I will never ever ever vote for Obama.
I am not ready to have Barack Obama as my president.

I don't think Hillary would want you to vote for McCain. If you really want to support her vote Dem. Why would you want another Bush...McCain is sweet but not very bright. Pray for us all if you vote Rep. just to make a stupid point that she didn't get HER turn!

Obama: A new vision for America. The candidate of change.

McCain: Voted with Bush 95% of the time. A candidate who needs changing.

If, Barack can show that he cares about the concerns of white working Americans then he will get Hillary's supports (at least some of them).

Obama needs to show that he represents the concerns of ALL members of the Democratic Party and not just the "minority faction" if he expects to be elected to president in November.

Barack needs to convince me that he will represent a majority of white American workers before I'll support him – it's his challenge!

Ignore us and we'll be saying hello to President McCain!

All you claiming to be Hillary-supporters ready to vote for McCain are really Republican trolls, trying to stage phase two of Operation Chaos. No sane Democrat repulsed by what the Bush Administration has done to our country and world could even THINK about voting for McCain.

Only Barack Obama can stop Romney who wants to destroy Social Security.

Obama's V.P. has to be a governor.
Obama/Richardson!

Together they will reshape American education in science, humanities, social sciences, and engineering.

Where is James Carville check he promised Senator Obama?

Hey Koolaid! Make mine strawberry!

Fired Up! Ready to Go! Oh Yeah!

It is momentous and history has been made.The prayer is that AMERICA for once will look beyond themselves and do that is right. If this is done,maybe,maybe there will be somebody in the White house who will feel what the underprivileged feel. Maybe. Maybe.

Hoping the world will be a better place with you as US President.At least there will be someone who feels the need for change in the way AMERICA is looked at at home and in the WORLD.May GOD help you because now the vicious campaign will really start to stop you but when the time for change comes......

I cannot be happier about the way things turned out today!!! This is one white guy that knew Obama was my candidate from his first speech announcing his candidacy. And good God what was with McCain's speech tonight? I'd say on a sleaze scale of 1 – 10 McCain came across as a solid 8! He can say he's not a 3rd Bush term all he wants, but when you vote the same, when you support his current policies, that's what you are!

To Hillary supporters; I'm sorry for your loss; i know how disappointing it is when your candidate looses. However to vote McCain or not vote at all would be to go against everything Hillary stands for. Now I am an ardent Obama supporter, but I also realize what is at steak and I know we cannot afford to have McCain in office.

Democrats that will not vote for Obama have that right. Working to elect McCain is your right, also. Americans are diverse and there is dignity in supporting individual issues.
Spiteful threats and hateful promises are not dignified; no matter who wins in November, tough times are with us that will have to be resolved. This divisive atmosphere, hopefully, will diminish after Bushs unlawful administration is gone.
Whether you vote for Obama or McCain, let's have a little more civility and less hate. We are all Americans.

I'm fed up of Hillary supporters. Your candidate has lost, accept it. By the way, if you plan to support McCain instead of Obama because Hillary has lost, go ahead. You are not real Democrats, that's another reason to be happy with Obama's nomantion. We don't need the support of people like you. Obama did best, that's all, that's democracy!

We have made history. We are a great nation and we have shown the world that. I'm a so proud to be an American. Just to hear that Obama has clinche the nomination fills my heart with joy and hope. Our nation is the greatest. Thank You to all that believe that we could make this possible.

Lynn,
over 17 million do want him.

It's all about the mood.
Sen. Obama believes in creating the mood in the country where he lives in, no substance. I heard McCain's speech. It was good.

Obama stoled the election with the help of the superdelegates.

I disagree with the CNN talking heads. I thought the McCain speech was well done and defined the differences between himself and Senator Obama.

Koolaid man... The only way I would vote for you is if you have Hillary as your VP. And that would be me voting for HER, not you. I didn't drink the Koolaid. If you don't have her as your VP you WILL lose in November... And than all your supporters who drank the Koolaid.. Will vomit the sweet but nonfufilling sugar in unison.

I honestly hope Senator Clinton isn't offered VP because without her Obama's empty suit stands no chance of getting elected. He is terribly unqualified and inexperienced. Senator Clinton can run again in 2012 and win next time because the DNC won't make the idiotic mistake of nominating the wrong person again. She is by far the superior candidate.

Let me set the record straight for Obama supporters. When we vote for Mccain we are voting for experience, in a man we can trust whom we have knowledge about (we know so little about Obama other than he has surrounded himself with hateful corrupt people), a respected war hero who will protect this country and not meet with tyrants in these most dangerous of times. Obama could not even make a decision in the Senate so how we can trust him to govern our nation with the the challenges we face today. The DNC has imploded again.

To all of the Democrats threatening to vote McCain, Did you hear that
awful speech. Now ask yourself if you would do this to your own
children?

Kudos to those Hillary supporters now voting for McCain. Let me guess – you also voted for Bush in 2004 because you didn't want to have a beer with Kerry? Your out-of-touch, warmongering candidate needs all the help he can get.

Congratulations Senator Obama on becoming the Democratic nominee. I knew that you and the voters could do it.

Hillary needs to go Independant and take on McCain and Obama...I would think both Republicans and Democrats would also change...Think Independant people..

TIME TO TAKE ON JOHN MCCLOWN!!! GO OBAMA!

That's right. Vote for McCain, just because Hillary didn't win. That will solve everything. McCain is the polar opposite of Hillary, but you are willing to vote for him to spite the democratic party. You will only be hurting the country and yourselves in the long run.

You don't need Hillary on the ticket to win in November. Leave all of the negative campaigning in the primary.

Congratulations Obama

Obama / Edwards 08

I am a VERY proud Hilary supporter!! Have been from day one..
I feel strongly that Hilary would have made a better president!

But i am FURIOUS at fellow clinton supporters who say they will vote John McCain!!

They are dishonouring the one person they've been supporting!! They are Traitors..by all means, write Hilarys' name on the Ballot! but PLEASE dont contribute to another 4 years of HELL in America! I can hardly afford to feed my 3 young daughters thanks to the republican party..

CLINTON SUPPORTER FOR OBAMA!! (but you obama supporters have got to stop knocking hilary supporters, could cost you)

Hahaha, the Republicans who claim to be democrats have gone into

overdrive mode, hahahahaha

McCain says "I am blessed with such personal greatness..." blah, blah, blah.

A leader we can believe in? I don't think so. He's barely able to get through his speech using his teleprompter without stumbling on the words in his monotone monologue. EW.

Whatever his service to his country during the Vietnam war, it doesn't make him somehow "Presidential" or qualified to be President. It feels more like he's stuck in that war – which is why he says stuff like "I will NEVER surrender" as if getting out of Iraq has to equate to surrender.

I think he's still pissed we left Vietnam.

I look forward to a new age of American politics with President Obama. While I don't support HRC as VP, I think she'd be an awesome Supreme Court Justice.

Obama/Hagel '08

congrats Obama. Clinton deserves Condo Rice's Position. Not Cheney's.

That will be a cinch. Did you hear McCain tonight.

In his best child day care voice –

"Now gather round me girls and boys and I'm going to tell you a fairy tale, and you make a lot of noise. Okay? Here we go! Once upon a time..."

Then he proceeded in that same tone, batting his eyes (liar) and waiting for the prompter to change entertaining an audience of desperation, frustration, and despair–I'm sorry Republicans.

Quite frankly, I felt sorry for him. Senator Obama, go forward and present your proposed programs for real change to this nation, and God go with you. Be blessed.

If Obama is after party unity, he MUST NOT pick Hillary for veep.

NO Way will I vote for Obama.
He does not have the experience and I do no wish to go through the next 4 years listening to racial allegations everytime someone speaks agains him.

God Bless America !!

I hate the fact that I now have to vote for Mcain have voted dem all my life but I can not vote for Obama even if Hillary is on the ticket .I have spoken to a lot of people I work in an airport and they all feel the same so I guess it will be Mcain in 08

It's definitely Hello President McCain if Obama doesn't pick Clinton as his running mate. Even I won't vote for him. I'd abstain. He hasn't got what it takes. He's just in the right place ten years too soon.

unity? no way. . .i can't support obama and i'm a democrat.

i will write senator clinton's name in when i cast my ballot in november. . .she is the only one to beat mccain

THE INVISIBLE MAN IS INVISIBLE NO MORE!!!!

The moment that Black people have been waiting for, dreaming of and dying for has arrived. The never before seen but always dreamt of story is about to become reality. There is just one thing I regret about this moment and that is the ancestors are not here to experience the joy and pride we feel as a race and as a Nation but I know that they are here in spirit. The old girl Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Claude Mc. Kay, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B Dubois, and so many others have shed their blood and made so many sacrifices for this moment. Cheers to Obama, and much respect to his wife for having the strength to be his rock. Walk this mile Obama because it is your destiny.

May the Ancestors continue to watch over us. Ase

Congratulations, Senator Obama! This.. is your night!

This could be one of the speeches for the ages.

The contrasts he will draw will be MAGNIFICANT.......

FINALLY, a robust liberal who is an elegant orator and a champion of unity and understanding, a doer who develops and will implement policy of economic incentive, social cohesion and diplomatic poise and understanding.

This 'my friends' (refeence to mcain for those who missed it).... THIS my friends is leadership.........

Hooray Hooray.

She just won South Dakota. He can't even win. He might pull off Montana. I think it is funny. He was way ahead in South Dakota two weeks ago. Over 17 million people does not want him.

I am a democrat. I do not see Obama winning unless Hillary is on the ticket this is the only way I see him winning.

I, for one, think this is a great moment, and celebrate it. He has worked long and hard, and is working for the people who do and do not support him. I see beyond wanting to protect my privilege, and realize so many of us in the US do not have what it takes to survive daily life. They are who I'm fighting for, and thats why I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA IN 08!!

Congratulations to all of the Democrats who are backing McCain. I doubt I would be able to change your minds, because my voice is already represented on nights like tonight. So, BE HAPPY with your decision, and please stop beating us over the head with it!

The move has already started....

Hillary supporters will not be supporting Obama in November if he is the nominee. This is a sincere movement that has already started through emails, websites, phone calls, and rallies throughout the country. Currently our projections have reached 54% of Hillary supporters who have pledged their efforts for John McCain in November.

Sorry Obots. We wanted experience. Don't take it personal. It is what it is.

Oh ya after you told her she was likable enough and swept your shoulders gave her the finger and called her husband a racist. I guess 20 years at trinity has pay off for now. Well the democrats just lost the elections.

OBAMA WE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU ASLONG AS HILLARY IS NOWHERE AROUND AS VP! PUT HER SOMEWHERE WHERE WE WON'T HAVE TO SEE OR HEAR HER!

Obama, you inspire us all. McBush doesnt have a prayer.

The Truth Has Arrive, and we are changing for ourselves! Too many hard days are coming to an end. The New Era and Positive Future for All Americans, beyond the eyes of Race and Beliefs!

Rev., Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Mrs. Parks, and all those who started and gave their lives – White, Jewish, Blacks, Hispanic, Asians, etc.,,,,,,," A Giant Steps for Us!"

Run together we want
Obamas Hope and Hillarys Stability

Jay its SOUTH DAKOTA< and he has not lost it yet, the population centers have not been counted yet...

This is History in the making!....

Obama 08'
Obama/Clinton 08'
DEMOCRATS 08'

We welcome Clinton Supporters with Open arms, now lets take down McSame!

I guess it's Hello, McCain.

Any hope of uniting the Democratic party will have to come from Hillary. Senator Clinton knows the intensity of her supporters and she's going to have to convince us to turn away from her. I don't listen to a word Obama says as I feel he's silver-tongued, insincere, a flip-flopper, and I don't trust him in the least. I will never vote for him.

Headline should be "Obama looks for unity with CNN against McCain"

You cut away from McCain's speech to let your talking heads worship Obama even though it's been known for weeks that he would be the nominee?!?!

Good luck Tim..Never gonna happen

What unity? It ain't gonna happen! Not even if Hillary becomes VP.

Formerly.....Hillary – 2008

Now......McCain – 2008

Its about Time For A Change! Go Obama!

To SoCal, it's custom and expected to give texts of your speeches to the media. Even before you make them. The President does this all the time. I'm hopeful that Obama will never get to do so as the President however. Be afraid of that!

Why did he loose North Dakota!

If Clitnon isnt on the ticket McCain 08!!!!!!

Lord Help Us!!! I will do everything in my power to make sure Hillary supporters vote for McCain.

Obama/Clinton = THE Nightmare TIcket.

Obama/Hillary = the Nightmare Ticket.

REAL Democrats are outta here!

WELL CNN YOU HELP THE MOST FOR HILLARY TO LOOSE. I WILL NEVER TRUST ANYTHING YOUR BROADCAST AGAIN! YOU ALL HAVE HATED BILL & WAS DETERMINED HILLARY WOULD NOT WIN.

Hillary supporter for Mc Cain

I will NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA!!

I am one depressed clinton supporters. None of his backers ever acknowledge the way Obama and michelle treated Hillary.. the ever so cleaver scratching chin with the middle finger the childish brushing off of the shoulders the take care of her own house. Only when Obama admits that he is the typical politican will he get my vote with some honesty. POST

This is totally unbelievable! The media gave the nomiation basically in a silver platter to a guy that is clearly not ready for the job and has a ton of baggage with him! I am a Democrat but I am ashamed of what my Party has done in this election and will fully support McCain since I am not willing, as many other people, to leave our great country in the hands of this racist inexperienced candidate. And it doesn't matter if Clinton is or is not the VP; we cann't afford another disaster for a President after Bush! Good luck to all you Democrats who think you have done so well by errecting this guy to be your nominee! I will do what ever it takes to make sure that people I know don't vote for him.

How tacky to proffer the text of a speech-to-be! Is that a CNN or an Obama? I think it's a CNN and the next obvious question is how exactly was this information obtained?

Hel-looooo! What if the man detours from the planned speech? I mean, this just gives me the creeps.

I am an REPUBLICAN posing as democrat and will do everything I can to keep people from uniting the party.

Anyone voting for McCain rememebr these numbers 18-25. Why those numbers..........with our thin military . That is the first age bracket they always use in the draft.

Keep looking for it.

THE INVISIBLE MAN IS INVISIBLE NO MORE!
