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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.
