CNN

Wolf, abandoning all pretense of journalistic integrity, your breathless adulation of Sen Obama on Tuesday evening was a bit over the top. We know you're excited, but try to remain calm. It's o.k. – your man is going to make it. And don't worry about McCain news, if anyone is interested, they can get it from those others guys. By the way, I'm not opposed to you – I'll probably vote for Obama too and remain your fan.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER, where did you go to school and did they teach math?

And Debby, you need to get better background information on McCain's military service which was mostly chaotic and miserable. I see nothing in his service history that suggest he would make a good leader for this nation. True he became a popular POW of a failed mission, and his release made headlines, leading to his notability to seek public office, and family ties did the rest. However getting in the thick of real life concerns on the home front was not his strong suit, or was it. Educate me!

Dear STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER:

Your threats to either forfeit your vote or support McCain in the general election if Mrs. Clinton is not on the ticket is a prime example and illustrates why Clinton lost the nomination and should NOT be on the ticket. This is not about YOU or HER. It is about what is best for the country.
If you truly think McCain's stated policies would be better for the country, you must have been asleep for the past 7 years, but you should vote for him. If you would vote for him out of spite and because you didn't get your way, you are as selfish as your candidate who LOST the nomination but refuses to concede. Obama won the nomination not because he is 1/2 black but because he ran a better campaign and is the better candidate. Period.

To Staunch Clinton Supporter:
That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

If Hillary runs as an independent, November 4th 2008 results:

McSame 37-41%
Obama 32-37%
Her Highness 22-31%

Write it down.

Wolf, you disenfranchise caucus voters like me everything you open your mouth with Hillary's ridiculous claim to the popular vote. Why is is that Michigan and Florida's votes should count and mine shouldn't? I say we take up a petition to get Wolf Blitzer fired. He is another old guard dinosaur who needs to lay down and become extinct. I am SURE this will never be posted.

If you're going to vote McCain just out of anger over how Hillary did not get the nomination and he actually beats Obama, then you defectors have no right to complain about ANYTHING he might pull in the next four years. You vote for 'em, you got 'em; If that's the case, I'd better not see ANY of you complain about the how he handles the economy, or the war in Iraq.

Don't people actually THINK about what the candidates plan to do before they vote, instead of being occupied with petty differences?

NO MORE CLINTON'S

There is a God after all !!!!!

Christopher Dodd is a smart man. Thank you for having him on.
He makes sense and he is a fair man. That is what we need, politicians that makes
sense!!!!! I liked what he had to say tonight.

I hope they stop digging at each other and talk about their platforms or the issues that Americans care about. I don't need the bickering. I want answers and to know what they plan to do and how they plan to do it. Give me the truth, not putting each othe down. I don't care about what they say about each other. Tell me about you and why I should vote for you. That's what I think.

I get such a kick out of these ignorant Hillary supporters. They believed her when she lied to them daily. She said she was fired on by snipers in Bosnia....ok Hillary we believe! I never supported NAFTA....ok Hillary we believe you. We know these are lies but we will believe what you want. Then she says...A vote for McCain over the Democratic nominee would be a huge mistake.....and you say No we don't believe you. So you are her legion and yet you are not following her? Or do you think she is lying to you and you are ok with that. Think about it people!

As long as Hillary is alive CNN will treat her the way they did at the beginning of this campaigne. Unfair! Give the lady a break and allow her to figure things out . Sweet little Obama has won do we continue to baby him into the national election. Retoric is great but he can't win without us, the following of senetor Clinton. She's not on the ticket I"m with McCain he's liberal enough for me.

Hillary supporters…only the ones who are threatening to vote for McCain…take your threats and vote for McCain…who do you think your intimidating…We will win inspite of your pathetic threats…

It's borderline childish…"waah waah, if you don't pick our candidate, we'll vote for McCain, waah waah."

PATHETIC…PATHETIC…PATHETIC

Woolf,

Would u please analyse how many of Hillary's supporters are turned off by her conduct yeterday (June 3, 2008) – not only for not conceeding but also for not congradulating Obama knowing the fact that he clinch the magic number?

Thank you

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER: First of all, Hillary had a 3000 pop lead going into SD. Obama destroyed it and took it back after Montana. If you are going to use made up information then you discredit yourself right way. There were not enough pledged delegates to win so the supers had to make the choice. If they had chosen Hillary you would not feel the way you do i bet so that again makes you look foolish. You correctly stated that Obama had more pledged delegates which is really all that matters anyway. And in case you have not stepped out of your bubble i will point out that nobody knows what this woman is truly like but these Superdelegates have a better idea than you do. They moved away from her like she was on fire when they had another option. Maybe you should think about that. If they do not believe in her then why do you? Maybe actually research Paul V Clinton. They know about it, I know about it, you don't. Maybe its time you did.

staunch clinton supporter don't vote, WE DO NOT NEED more BS from Hillory. Be your own man barack and pick who you want. A woman is good JUST NOT HILLORY. we want Obama to be here for the next election also. NO HILLORY

I think people are running away from the main issues that we are facing in this country and worrying about the wrong things.
Presently we have a republican president and we all are witness of the ahrdship that the country is going through and people still talikng about electing Mcccain another republican over a democrat, I don't think some people care about what we all are going through.
Our rate in the world has been diminished, and I can believe we still have people who are enemy of progress. We need repentence in our hearth and joing together to give the new guy, Obama a chance. He is energized and ready to work, and I believelead us into a new and better direction, I hope we will regain what we have lost.

A vote for McCain is a vote to end partisanship in Washington, a vote for Obama is a vote for more of the same, just this time it's from the left.

Obama debating McCain! This could be very much like the Kennedy/Nixon debates of 1960.

When Obama spoke in South Dakota last Sunday, he made me feel so bad about myself. At the end of his speech, when he told that story about going to a little town in the "sticks, " in the "middle of nowhere, " and said that the little crowd of twenty people who came to see him started shouting "fire it up!" and that he was so uncomfortable because he didn't know what they were talking about, I became so uncomfortable, too.

In that long uncomfortable moment I thought, "Are they racists who are going to burn him?" But let me tell you, when Obama finally revealed that the point of the story was that the people were saying only that we have to fire up our enthusiasm, I felt so bad about myself as a white person.

I asked myself, "Am I a racist for thinking that that's what he meant, that ‘fire it up’ meant that these hicks were going to burn him because he's a black man? " And I thought, "I better vote for him, because if I don't, then everyone who looks at me might see that I am a closet racist…"

I have to prove to myself that I'm not a closet racist before the rest of the world can see how enlightened I am.

Now that's one piece of effective oratory!

This Country needs to come together and stop this bickering, hate and racial prejudice feelings. The Democratic party needs to think about how they are going to be united, and so far, all I see is the Democratic party distancing themselves with their ways. The American people are hungry for a leader whom they can trust, whether Republican or Democrat, but so far, we have yet to see this.

All "STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER"'s post did was unite the people who want a Democrat to win even stronger. The dividers are few and far between for this November. We will consistently become more united as illogical arguments that dare say Obama and Clinton had different goals for the Democratic Party come into play. Threatening to vote for John McCain because of some entitlement you feel some candidate should have? That's negative, that's divisive if anyone would even dare to call your argument logical. It won't divide us. We're not going to take that anymore from our government. There is no psychological message stronger than change we can believe in and to have hope for a better tomorrow. It invigorates us, and it will make us all more positive people. That's the real goal of having a united country if not a united world, pure positivity.

First the "staunch" Hillary supporters said they'd vote for McCain in Nov, if she didn't get the Democratic nomination. (Nevermind the general recognition that–in stark contrast to McCain's priorities–Hillary and Obama essentially want the same things for our country.) Now the "staunch" say they'll vote McCain, if Hillary doesn't get the VP slot. And these clowns call themselves Democrats? They smell like Joseph Lieberman to me.

Thank God! This Democratic campaign is over and now it is time to move on to the general election.

Hillary Clinton has shown herself to be many things. One of the many things that she has shown herself to be is a visionless looser. The main issue in the primary campaign was not experience; it was change.

Yes, Obama 08!

bake not back

McSame is a joke. He reminds me of that creepy preacher guy in Poltergeist who held the souls captive. Frail, pale and you could see right through him.

No more hillary,go home back cookies

As a registered republican I can't stand the idea of voting republican again, but neither can I stand the history of the Clinton team. Therefore, I was excited by the Obama candidate and his position of not blindly sending me into harms way in Iraq for nothing (read between the lines folks since I can't directly mention having a govt employer). Iraq is just like Vietnam because it doesn't matter if it succeeds or fails geopolitically. If we want so bad to create democracy in the Middle East then how about changing our allies (Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, or UAE) all of which are not democratic governments. I feel the reason why is because they would probably become democratic Islamic countries based upon their religin (just as many say the US was founded on the christian religion. As you might see is that Islamic countries (democratic or not do not allow freedoms of the minority)–just look at Indonesia.

Whether Iraq goes democratic or not does not matter, in fact, the US might be better off if it wasn't so we could keep them from repressing the minority since US christian founding ideals are a minority viewpoint in Iraq.

Anyway, Palestine is an establish democracy but we didn't like them electing Hamas so we just ignored them. But Palestine could be that beacon of light of what a democracy in that area of the country really might be like. Beware we might just get what we are asking for and not like it when all Islamic majority countries establish democracies and do it on Islamic religious law (similar to US establishment on christian law/viewpoints).

I'm taken back by the posture that Senator Clinton has displayed in respect to Senator Obama's nomination achievement. It has the tone of "Sour Grapes". I can't help but wonder, if the roles were reversed & Obama dispalyed such disregard to Senator Clinton, how relentless the media would be for his "bad sportsmanship". Regarding the Clinton camp, it's looking more to be about Senator Clinton & less about the Democratic Party.

Every one of you crazy feminist idiots really need to get your heads out of your... Well, if I finish that sentence, this comment will be blocked, but you get my point.

Hillary Clinton does NOT DESERVE TO BE THE PRESIDENT, and the fact that you are all being so stubborn about this just goes to prove how mentally incompetent you all are.

Hillary Clinton did not win the popular vote – I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but contrary to what you might think, Caucus States luckily do get a say in the matter. (How dare you declare that my WA State Vote doesn't count.)

You all need to get lives – Just because your candidate lost, you're going to whine and scream like Veruca Salt to get your way? You spoiled feminist morons! You should all be stripped of your right to vote! You are all a disgrace to this nation.

Can anyone tell me what was the exact number of women that voted for Obama? and what is the final popular count for Obama? Sen. Clinton slapped African Americans in the face by not acknowledging his historic night.

Wolf might use derogatory terms to call her "odd woman out" but guess what...Hillary can run as an independent and win!!

She has a better chance against obama's baggage and McCain's policies...

...those same crowds that cheerd and shouted Hosanna to a man turned on him the next day...some are only interested in fish and bread...

Where's John King? Vacation I hope!!

Folks, you can still vote for Hillary in November. Don't we still have the WRITE-IN option? For all those who do not know who to choose but believe in Hillary Clinton, start the movement to get out the WRITE-IN VOTE for November. This race isn't over because the SuperDelegates think it should be. This election can and will be decided by the Americans. Keep in mind, in many states, the primaries were closed. I'm and Independent and I know who I will vote for in the fall and no one is going to tell me otherwise.

last night i could not remove my self from the tv , i was so proud that this had happned then i heard hillery clinton speach and it took the wind out of me I kept watching hoping that something possitive would come out of her mouth but it did not happned. She took away some of the importance of the night that belomg to obama

To Carrie from Chicago:

Many of the delegates that you mention, especially superdelegates, are not bound by the decision and can change their minds until the convention. The decision making process of the Democratic party has been hijacked by self-serving party leaders.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pelosi has been sabotaging Clinton because she has some delusion she can be the first woman to be elected President. That isn't going to happen.

It's unfortunate that Hillary is truly showing her spoiled, unprofessional, stubborn and in denial side of her "real" demeanor. It's no wonder Bill wondered about, if she's this rigid in public, I can only imagine what she's was like for him in private. Will the "real" Hillary Clinton, please stand-up and continue to show herself because it's really ugly!

To Staunch Clinton Supporter – Hillary Clinton lost. Get over it. Hillary will get over it and continue to live her millionare life style. Let's stand together as Democrats and take our country back. I'm sure you don't want 4 more years of McBush just to prove a point. Think about it!!!

Total Ignorance. It just shows that you have not been following the primaries for 16months as some of us has. When Hillary was the inevitable candidiate throughout last year you were totally fine with that.

If Obama can beat her without her help he does not need her help in November. I hope you do vote McCain or stay at home because when he wins in Nov you will have no more arguments.

On being an Independent, she will become the Ralph Nader of 2008. If thats what you want for your candidate then just don't vote democratic.
Everyone except you knows that a democrat will win this election.

All you Obamatrons remind me of a pack of vitrolic pit bulls. You want everyone who is not for Obama to believe everything negative about every other candidate and yet you totally deny anything negative said about Saint Obama. Did IQs suddenly drop in the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party? Can't you lemmings see the cliff coming?

Senator Obama's "polite dig" belies his stance as a unifier, a new politician....

What he needs to do is show us his experience – lay it out – show us why his experience will move the country forward.

Most people don't know what a community organizer does – he needs to explain it.... He needs to showcase his legislative record...

I don't want someone to tell me that they have experience, I want them to showcase the experience.

I fell in love with Jack Cafferty tonight. I loved his question on
Obama, a black man to be President. And I loved the answers
that people sent in. Great responses.!!! Great for Obama. Other
countries are proud and excited too.

Jcak was out of breath and Wolf read for him. Shows you guys
are great, good spirited and human like the rest of us. Loved
that moment!!!!!

Obama's win has created some happy people out here!
Was for Obama from Day 1.

Everyone seems surprised...at the knuckle shake...that he is black and impressive...you must not know a 13 to 36 year old, who along time ago saw beyond race...it is now age that matters....Born to be Wild is finally here...Thank God I'm a 55 year old WHITE MALE and now proud to be an AMERICAN...not a liberal, not a religous zealot but an AMERICAN.... GOD BLESS AMERICA.....

Obama represents change, which is the need of the hour. Hillary Clinton seems to be upset about loosing the nomination race, refuses to concede and worst of all seems to be demanding the VP slot. I also do not think Obama needs to have her on the ticket to win. He looks all set by himself.

This is shameful. Our party has nominated the only candidate we could lose this election with.

Dave,

You are clueless about facts, go research the Peter Paul case, and give the rest of us a break!

Superdelegates are not in any way democratic... why on earth should someone's vote count more?? Especially someone like Jimmy Carter?? Being a Hillary supporter, I am not sure whether I will vote for Obama or not, it will depend on who he puts as VP. Issues aside, choosing a candidate has just as much to do with their intellect, and the people they choose to surround themselves with. For example, George Bush has chosen some of the worst cabinet members and people to listen to ever. A good president has to have the ability to choose intelligent people to work with and listen to, and I don't think Barack Obama has the experience or judgement to do that efficiently by himself. I think Hillary does. And to everyone telling her that we rejected her, that is your own "fuzzy math" Even with numbers in every way in favor of Obama, more than 18million people voted for her, I would hardly call that rejection.

If you were a person that supported Hillary Clinton over the issues and truly cared about THIS country. Then there is no way that you can stay home or vote for McCain. Voting for McCain only means that the ISSUES was not the reason that you supported Clinton because Obama shares many of Clinton views on government & politics. To vote for McCain out of spite is selfish and small minded. Your threats and you ignorance will not grant you what you want. I hope that Barack leaves Clinton exactly where she is. I'm tired of these old spitefull politics.

Being a 29 year old black male here in America. I am very deeply disturbed by the fact I have been a Democrate all of my life simply because my parents are one and most black people are. After watching how the party came together on saturday and just basically gave the nomination to Mr.Obama has made me rethink my decision of being a Democrate. Im not sayn this because im a Clinton fan but I cant get over the fact that the delegates looked over the voice of 18 million voters just so they can get on with the general election and just so someone can be in place to fight against McCain. How in the world can 3000 some odd delegates can speak for 37 million people. Change doesnt come from changing color of a president but change comes from experince and knowing what you are doing. I hope and pray that for the well being of America Senator Clinton dont drop out or give up the fight. We have to much at risk and to much to loose. We need to rethink the position of being President of the most powerful country in the world. Do we really want to put someone we really dont know anything about in it or do we want to put someone who knows what they are doing and haver the experince behind them to get the job done starting day one. I hope Senator Clinton branch off from the democrates and build the Independent party. No thats what i call change for America. Stay in the race Senator Clinton PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too many haters on here from the HRC camp. I think the Pistons should show up tonight and take the ball from the Lakers//Celtics series and go home just like HRC and say they were robbed cuz they had more fans in Detroit than the Celts had in Boston.

Just wondering why both should be on the ticket? Obama won, Clinton lost-–no brainer! Just wishing for HRC on the ticket is a scary enough prospect. Imagine 8 years of the VP undercutting a sitting President-no thanks. Pehaps Obama should look to John Edwards who might be able to let HRC on the ticket as VP in 2016.
Obama/edwards '08 & '12

Obama has 21st century "THINKING" , McCain has 20th century "THINKING" , he is going to continue with George Bush plans because that's ALL he knows.
Obama/Hagel ( I want Chuck Hagel to be VP)

Hillary Clinton represents the exact same type of Washington politics as usual that Obama has been running against this entire time. She is one of the many idealists who got to Washington and forgot what her principles were. If Hillary Clinton would have been running 8 years ago, I would have voted for her. This isn't the case, she's just become a money grubbing senator like so many before her. Having her on the ticket will only hurt Barack Obama. We need to look forward and quit making threats to vote for John McCain.

The people he helped when steel plants were closed on the south side of chicago know him and the people he represented for 8years in the state senate. They are all Americans living in America. So, Mccain should give us a break. Obama has been on a nation seen for 3years now let alone john edwards and John Kerry when they first ran for Office.

TO ALL BITTER HILLARY SUPPORTERS....LISTEN UP****

You can whine all you want to, be mad and have as much hate as you can muster up....WE THE PEOPLE DON'T CARE!

You can threat that if Hillary is not on the ticket that you will vote for McCain (McSame)....well, guess what? WE STILL DON'T CARE! If you'd rather abandon all of what even Hillary stood for and be upset enough to vote for another republican in the white house, then great, that just shows how very ignorant you are and how much you don't care about the issues...just the person!

As a matter of fact, please vote for McSame because he'll need all the help he can get!!!!!!!

Crying like a baby and throwing a fit will get you anywhere, so KNOCK YOURSELF OUT PLEASE AND HURRY UP WITH IT!!!!

Obama doesn't need you or Hillary backing him because it's that kind of attitude that we're trying to do away with! Same old Washington politics...We'll, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!

You don't have to keep saying what you'll do....just shut up and do it if you want to....THAT'S WHAT BEING AN AMERICAN IS ALL ABOUT...WE HAVE CHOICES....you've made yours, sobeit...!!!!

OBAMA 08, 12!!!!!!!!!!! WE'LL DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

....and goodbye already!!!!!!!!!

Gotta Love the Clinton supporter's math.

Your a cheater. He didn't have his name on the Michigan ballot.

The Clinton supporters are mostly bigots. If I were Obama I would ignore them.....he can win in November without them.

LMAO...what makes a true Democrat...to vote for someone even though they haven't got brains enough to poor p out of a boot????

That is called stupid...that is how GW got in office!!

Down with Obama!!

I am a Democrat and have voted that way my whole life...will not this time....Obama is a loser!!!

Staunch Supporter
You have to know that early primaries in FL and MI were for HIllary's benifit. She, being the household word, had a major advantage over all of the other candidates. Then when brought into question, she agreed with the others not to have those states' delegates count. Do you know why? She thought she had the nomination sewed up. But much to her surprise it was not a cake walk and she lost. Now she is crying foul and trying to claim those votes even in MI where Oboma was not on the ticket.

I cannot believe there are still "democrats" out there that can say that they will vote for John Mccain when the election comes around. Most likely these are H.C supporters who are first time voters and morons as well. Just because you have become emotionally attached to Hillary doesnt mean that Obama is the bad guy, he is just the better candidate and a much better solution for our decaying America. John Mccain will ruin this country... havent you seen what Bush has done? Or does that not matter?

Obama is strongly supported by Caroline Kennedy and she doesn't like Hillary. Hillary will not be offered the vp slot...and that's ok. She's too capable to be a shadow figure.

Let Obama win his own supporters.....WE ARE HILLARY'S GIRLS!
Let McCain treat us with respect and we may help him.
We realize that all the nice things both Mccain and Obama said about Hillary on Tuesday night was just meant to coax her suppoerters over. Still treating us like fools.

Don't be stupid, Staunch Clinton Supporter! It's amazing how even with an ivy league education, most of you all still can't count and like to change how the primary system works when you're not winning as your entitlement system dictates. As a black woman, I am appalled at Hillary's speech last night and how she illustrated the very delusion that makes it hard for women to get into and succeed in politics now. I had great respect and admiration for her before, however, her selfishness is so disappointing! What you all should now focus on is uniting behind OUR party's nominee and not falling into the hole that John McCain has dug for the disgruntle Clintonites.

Well... this is in reverse, my husband said if Obama names Hillary as the VP, he will either vote for McCain or just NOT vote!!

To me, Hillary is like WalMart............i won't give THEM my time or money either

Ken, you're being foolish, selfish, and childish. If you actually vote for McCain, or enhace his chances by writing in for Hilary or not voting, then you're either a Republican (which is fine; some of my friends are) or stupid.

What would be GREAT is Wolfe could learn how to ask tough questions and not settle for the standard political no-answer when he deals with either Obama-McCain or anyone representing them. I doubt if it will happen though.
Another GREAT thing is if Wolfe could go more than a hour without say DREAM TICKET....HE'S LIKE A DANG GONE PARROT WITH A BEARD...DREAM TICKET...WHAT ABOUT THE DREAM TICKET...DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE DREAM TICKET...HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE DREAM TICKET...IS THERE STILL CHANCE FOR THE DREAM TICKET...ON AND ON AND ON AND ON..IT IS SICKENING and it does not deserve so much time...HELLO Obama won....it should be about him 85% of the time, not 50%.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER,

You sound so stupid. You call yourself a Democrat? You would rather support John McCain rather than give that support to a fellow Democrat … amazing! Who do you think Hillary will vote for in November … remember, she will also vote. Ask her, STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER. She’s a Democrat and she will vote for Obama, whether she’s his VP or not. She will help the party when her vote is being counted. If you don’t believe that, then you’re not a true Democrat and what you believe in is Clinton as your god or something. Do you think she’s God? Come on, do you really want McCain as your President?

Use your head, not your emotional outburst when making decisions that will affect this country.

What political or any other "favors" has Barack Obama done for Tony Rezco or any of Rezco's family then? Seeing none, I rest my case!

You stubborn HRC supporters are a sad breed. Take your idle threats, bad math, and sore attitudes away. Threats of writing in HRC for prez and defecting from the party mean nothing. Do it but just go away. True Democrats will rally around the party in this time of need. Selfish folk need not apply. Goodbye.

This was closed and NEEDS to be said. Some need to understand anger. Sen Clinton informed all of her staff to get their final expense reports in for their FINAL reimbursements. She then, last WEEK, invited them to Join her IN NEW YORK ON TUESDAY NIGHT. Once the POLLS CLOSED in S Dakota and MONTANA, she would speak to her supporters, and then take the time she needed to phase DOWN. PLEASE NOTE, the Obama Camp STAGED numerous delegates to announce their support for Obama ON THE SAME DAY. More SUPER DELEGATES came out that day than any other day this year. Instead of waiting until the election was over and allowing Hillary a graceful evening, they made sure Obama limped across the finish line, with a pile of supers pushing him, interrupting Hillary's speech. Sure, they both earned their moment in the sun. but this was clearly staged, and even David Gergen jumped on the bandwagon–blaming Hillary for stealing Obama's Thunder.

Another point on No Nukes....If you really want to make this country energy independent, then lets get back on board with the Methane Hydrate mining research that the Bush administration effectively killer. Methane hydrate is essentially frozen natural gas....there is enough of it just off the North Carolina coast to power the entire country for the next 50 years....
There are also deposits off the Florida Coast, in the Carribean and along the California and Oregon coasts.....We dont need nukes....we need to think outside of the petroleum or 300 years worth at the current rate of energy consumption. The lets use nukes mentality is a mindless copout.

I was ready to follow Clinton in her eventual support of the nominee.

After hearing comments like The Clintons are deranged narcisstics and the continuation of cable TV anti-Clinton Spin –
I have only one choice.
To use my vote as my only power.

It is not an anti-Obama vote for McCain.

It is an anti-Obama supportor vote for McCain.

If Hillary was short changed by the media and her party, why are her supporters so mad at Obama? I don't get it. I never heard the man say anything bad about her at all. Now these people are willing to shoot themselves in the foot because of what?
Obama always takes the heat for the things that other people have done. Please help me to understand why if you can.

Blank slate for sure. Could it be that this blank slate is what turned off the people who chose to vote for Hillary instead of him and not the color of Barak's skin?
While I hope his slate will be exposed for his lack of history, tenacity, and accomplishments, please don't be surprised about any of the digs Barak will receive in the next 5 months. It is not pretty out there. As much as McCain is older than any other nominee and he is fair game, so will the big difference Barak has from any other nominee. His skin color. If his supporters thought that all Hillary supporters were her fans because they were racists, they ain't seen nothing yet, unfortunately.
May they both stand strongly on their overall merits and may the best man win.

Obama-(Obama's + the peoples' choice for Obama's VP)!

You guys knock me out. For the second time in a row, Hillary wins a primary as does BO. BO decides to again step on a Clinton victory by declaring something. Last time was West Virginia. So he crowned himself. I fail to see why HC should sit back for this clown. You just don't like it because she's a woman who doesn't bow down before some male.

I'm waiting for the two of them to have a debate. Obama will full court press the hell out of McCain on the issues. Let's see just how well the long primary process has tempered the Obama chops. No stupid questions now, ABC. Keep to the pressing issues and not the TMZ issues.

STAUNCH Hillary Supporter,

You obviously don't, or did not, at any time support Hillary. If you did, you would have supported a woman's right to choose, an end to the war in Iraq, and a tax that does not just favor the wealthy. By not voting Democrat, or voting for McCain, you forfeit your beliefs, and the beliefs that Hillary fought so hard for.

Any Hillary supporter that votes for McCain, obviously did not support Hillary in the first place. McCain is the antithesis of everything Hillary had stood for.

As others have noted, don't let emotion cloud judgment. Hillary fought a great race, and lost a close election. Maybe some of you Hillary supporters don't like Obama supporters who have put down Hillary. That's understandable.

But honestly ask yourself if your emotions, are worth another 4 years of young Americans being killed in Iraq. Ask yourself if it's worth having an economy that continues to fail and gas prices continuing to soar. Ask if you want another 4 years of George Bush. If you do vote for McCain, or do not vote, and these things happen, you'll have no one to complain to and no one to blame but yourselves.

Obama, Democrats, '08.

Mike
Amherst, MA

If AGE is defined as a detriment in job performance – as in the Democrats and CNN criticizing McCain because of his age, then perhaps CNN should fire Jack Cafferty and Wolf B.
Food for thought .

ALL OF YOU BILLARY SUPPORTERS ...DON'T VOTE OBAMA, THE BILLARY WILL STILL HAVE THEIR $109M +, AND YOU WILL BE ON FOODSTAMPS AND STILL PAYING HIGH GAS PRICES AND GUESS WHATELSE...YOUR FOODSTAMPS WON'T BE ABLE TO FILL YOUR TANKS WITH GAS!! BY THE WAY, VOTE FOR MCSAME, BECAUSE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO PUT MORE BEER MONEY IN MCSAME'S WIFE POCKET AND YOUR FOODSTAMPS CAN'T PAY FOR THAT EITHER!! GOOD DAY!!!

OBAMA 2008!!

Those Hillary supporters that dig in their heels and say they will vote for McCain or not vote if she's not on the ticket in some way are spitting in the wind.....What would Hillary want? If you truly support Hillary for her beliefs and not just because she's a woman, then you will vote Democrat in the general election and be a part of the solution rather than the problem. That whole "I'm gonna take my ball and go home" attitude is pretty childish.

Staunch, first of all who cares who you vote for, and for all of her supporters thats like you, you should make Hillary pay for all of you all including her to see a doctor because the way you all sound you need some strong meds and a couch, and my God none of you can spell, there are such things as spell check, oh I'm sorry I forgot Hillary did say that her supporters were hardworkers and uneducated forgive me I can read between the lines.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER =-

You fail to take into account Operation Chaos. Republican ditto heads who tried to get Clinton into office because she is the easier candidate with way more baggage than almost anyone in the DNC.

Clinton is a polarizing figure. Obama appeals to many republicans and not because he would be easier for MCCain to face.

Clinton is history. Let it go and lets move on.

@Cindy, Good Lord girl, Hillary couldn't win the Democratic race, how in the hell is she going to win running as an Independent. And, by the way Hillary didn't carry Obama, he has won on his own. Get over yourself and grow a pair!! LOL

does Blitzer and billary not read numbers?

Blitzer can join billary in PR and be her reporter..

Blitzer, is so annoying, and he does NEVER report facts, his love for the queen has blind h im..

get over it and over all read the numbers, news, facts, and count the votes, we the majority want change, we want a new person not a bush nor a clinton
enough is enough

why is everyone afraid of the clintons
why does everyone else has to apologize but not the clintons
why ???

listen clinton supports, did obama cheat and try to change the ruls during the game time and time and time again. he has been nothing but be nice and gracious to sen clinton. yet she still has not said one positive thing about the new leader of the democratic party! so all the clinton supporters if voting for mcbush makes you feel better than sticking with the party then do that, ruin the country for 4 more yrs! this was a fair race and she lost get over it if she would have won we all would support her as a true democrats! sounds like the clinton supports are just racist! GET OVER PEOPLE AND LETS COME TOGETHER TO WIN THE WHITE HOUSE! Obama baby 08

Obama = Candidate of change

McCain = Candidate in need of change

I have been a democrat for 30 years and never supported any republican for any office. I hate Obama and his supporters. I urge all of Senator Clinto's supporters to either vote for McCain or stay home in the fall. It's no longer about democrat v. republican. It's about defeating Obama!!!

Staunch Clinton Supporter, you argument is flawed, and the first is that Sen. Clinton won the popular vote. She only wins when she counts the FL and MI votes, which she clearly discounted before Super Tuesday, and then does not count the votes in caucus states. Can't have it both ways.

This election is not about my candidate or your candidate. It's about the American people and I'm casting my vote for Sen. Obama as I believe he is most fit to help America make the turn in the right direction. And had he lost the race, I'd vote for Sen. Clinton. There is no way on God's green earth I would vote for John McCain!

Please, America, let's not get stuck on stupid!

You know ...take the gloves off I know Obama can handle McSame – it is unfortunate that he is fighting Billary to boot. What does not kill you make only make you stronger ... he can take McSame and Hilary with one hand behind his back ...... Please Hilary don't make him fight that fight.... concede and unite our party along with soon to be President Obama

Yes, Obama and McCain disagree on many issues. And for anybody who might have missed how their frame of mind differ so much, McCain's speech on Tuesday made that so clear... beyond the jabs and self-praise.

Attacking Obama's policies on relief to those who can't afford health care or education for their children. McCain said "government shouldn't take our resources and decisions for us".

Some attacks later he also said "that would be extravagant spending on business that are not government's concern."

Yet, McCain vehmently believes invading other countries without justification, spending billions of dollars on war and killing directly and indirectly thousands of citizens of other countries (a lot of them civilians) and getting america's young men and women killed is not "extravagant spending of resources and money on business that are not government's concern".

Do americans want a government that won't help them with health and education and that considers those expenditures extravagant and not a government's business but which, on the other hand, will consider cheap the respources of their country and the lives its young men and women in wars that it is saying are government's business?

Hillary is a loser the only winner in her family is Bill. I still like Bill but I will never vote for Hillary. AND PLEASE UNDERSTAND EVERYONE SHE DID NOT WIN THE POP VOTE THAT IS MADE UP BY THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN. 400,000 VOTES WERE CASTED BY REPUBLICANS URGED TO MESS UP THE RACE BY RUSH LIMBAUGH'S "OPERATION CHAOS". SHE DID NOT WIN! RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR RIGGING THE ELECTION.

please post, thanks

GO VOTE FOR MCcAIN BUT SHUT UP FOR THE NEXT 4 YRS WHEN WE PAYING 8 BUCKS FOR GAS AND OUR ECONOMY IS WAY WORSE THAN NOW

Cindi,
Too late. Too late for the trickster to win. It is over for Hillary.
And we don't want to see the liar and her husband on TV for
8 years. CNN would go out of business.

Wolf, I sure won't miss your one sided view of everything. All your comments about Hillary were so biased. It will be interesting now to see if you are capable of delivering FAIR and HONEST accounts of the news.
Now that "your girl" is out of please try to show Obama the respect he deserves and has won.
Obama 08
Good luck Senator Clinton with what ever you decide to do with your future.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER – you are what BO's supporters hate – a self interested thought to be persecuted person exercising your self created isolation hatred on to the public. Vote for the best representative of your country and values. By saying you'll vote McCain you could be killing your own children...or your family's children...or your neighbor's children for "false wars" like Iraq. Don't vote then...but don't send my children to war you selfish jerk.

To all the Hillary supporters who say they'll vote for McCain instead:

I cannot fathom the vile hatred many of you are spewing at the moment. Yes, I'm an Obama supporter. Yes, I'm happy he won. But let me tell you something...if Obama lost, I'd immediately throw my support to Hillary...and guess what. I DON'T LIKE HER ONE BIT...not at all. But, would you REALLY vote for McCain....would you really vote to continue this war, to watch our sons and daughers die in vain....would you really vote for continuing an economic downslide that has EVERYONE losing any resemblance to what was supposed to be the American dream...would you really vote to continue to let our sick and dying suffer without healthcare...would you really vote for $6-$8 gasoline, $500 groccery bills for TWO people for a month, for $300 electricity bills...would you really –and this is a big one–would you really vote to continue destroying our environment to the point where our children have ZERO chance of survival? If you really feel that way, then vote for McCain...and may whatever god you pray to have mercy on your souls.

Please think about this before responsding. Now is not the time to fight with each other...it's time to unite for a BETTER purpose.

It amazes me that McCaine can actually stand there and say that we have had nuclear powered warships for fifty years and there has never been an incident.....Remember the Thresher? How about the Scorpion? Does he not know or not remember or is he just lying through his teeth?

I dont trust the military or politicians with nukes.....I remember watching my girlfriend die of cancer at 16 years old back in 1968....Her identical twin sister was who was raised by her mother here in Seattle is sitll alive today and cancer free her whole life. Unfortunately my girlfriend grew up in Hanford and used to play in the "snow" in the summer....thats right, politicians and the military decided to test radioave fallout on a disposable community....

NO nukes McCaine....GOT THAT??? NO nukes!

I'm totaly disapointed this afternoon hearing that Obama would not have Hillary as VP. If he does not we will not vote for him! I'm 53 and have always voted but this year I'm not sure. As far as her speech last not people read to much into things. Not one of the other canidates conceded on the day they lost. The way we vote sucks. It schould not be up to the super delegates.

Obama has little or no experience and he criticizes McCain for stating the obvious. The reality is that the news media acts as if Obama's statements trying to derail accurate criticisms are true.
It's time for Obama to stand up for what he wants to do and how he wants to do it..
No more mystery man. Who is Barack Obama anyway ? We've seen his surrogates and long term friends act up. Time for some explainations. Answer some questions Barack.

Sorry, Barry, but your lack of service or accomplishments is not a state of John McCain's mind.

As an American who loves his country, I'll be proud to vote against you in Nov.

McCain Democrat '08

I've heard enough threats from "Mrs. Clintons staunch supporters". Go ahead & vote McSame. Once he gets finished with the supreme court you won't even have the right to post in a blog anyway!!!

Further -and CNN ignores that this convicted Felon was the Obama contributor that purchased the land next to Obama's home in Chicago and then re sold the lot to Obama for less than market value.
Obama thus participated in an illegal transaction – it is called taking a bribe for political influence.
This is another example of Chicago Democratic politics – the MOST CORRUPT political machine in the USA.

I love Obama's dig – he's used others similar in nature before. I bet it took McSame a minute or two to catch it. He can subtly take you out at the knees without you even realizing it – and he does it with no anger or venom, just calm composure. I'm looking forward to more of that in the future. He's already calling out the gop on their scare tactics – I love that he's callin' them on their attempts to trick the voters. McCain is gonna get his clock cleaned by the young punk with the funny name. We'll see if Gramps is laughin' after the first debate – my bet is that he won't be.

I wish Hillary, was a Independent she would win the race!
She has been short changed the whole time yes, thats right!
By the media,and her party. I don't want to see her on the Obama ticket she should not carry him, let him fight his own battle , He knows so much, show me!!!!

Cindi
Palm Coast ,FL

Hillary, please go ahead to run as an independent candidate for the general election. Democratic party has started to rotten. It contains full of splitters and consiprators rather than a party for the people. You will make a history and win the highest percentage in the general election in America as an independent candidate. Obama is just a little puppit of the Democratic leftest wing.

Wolf, question if McSane was in todays society and was looking for a job would they hire him at 71 years old? But he want people to hire him to run this country one of the biggest jobs in the world and he's very unintelligent, he's not smart at all, just listen to him speak, he talks like a 71 year old (slow) and he moves like one too.

I question your political integrity of Clinton supporters that say they will not vote for Obama. I'm shocked at how they can so easily transfer their vote from democrat to republican, when the policy differences between them are so extreme. Surely the policies are far more important than the person selected to pursue them (especially since the Clinton / Obama contest ended in a virtual tie). Anyone capable of such a dramatic flip-flop needs to take a moment for personal reflection and figure out what they stand for. You either support the policies of the democratic party or you don't. It really is that simple.

ATTN: Hilary Supporters
Get over it. She lost. It's finished. I used to respect the Clintons,
but they are acting like Deranged Narcissists. Hilary congratuated Obama on his primary victory, but not on becoming the Democratic Nominee. Why would anyone want her as VP? She may end
up being a Supreme Court Nominee or Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Hilary and her supporters need to stop whinging. Barack Obama won because the DNC was not about to punish Obama for playing by the rules, and reward Clinton for breaking the rules. That is the reason he is the nominee.

TO STAUNCH HILLARY SUPPORTER

I AM SICK OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT CAN'T SEE THRU THE
CLINTONS, BONNIE AND CLYDE TYPE ACTIVITIES. PLEASE,
YOU ARE SOUNDING JUST LIKE HILLARY. PLEASE GO HOME.

to: STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER

First of all, the primary is decided by delegates, which are based on the popular vote. Second of all, Hillary's argument that she won the popular vote discounts caucuses and includes Michigan with Obama getting 0 votes. I don't see how this is representative of all 50 states and not disenfranchising those who voted in the caucuses.
But again, the primary is determined by delegates, not by popular votes, just as the presidency is determined by elecotral votes and not the popular vote.
The fact is Hillary lost fair and square. It is time to move on and focus on beating John McCain, which should be in the interest of all democrats.

What do we know about McCain? A maverick...a former POW...
a flip-flopper who changes with the way the breeze flows.
Please, McCain, try to practice whatever it is you preach.

Mcain becareful for what you wish for because you gonna get it.

Obama for America 08

McCain is like the dirty Santa Claus that has been working at the shopping mall for decades. An old tyrant ho ho hoing about another season and what gifts he can bring us. Without the backdrop and the publicity, he is another tired old man that believes in fairy tales. There are alot of war heroes and this should not even be a deciding issue. The deciding issue is a candidate that is working to represent the people's interest and not some old "sleigh using the same Republican reighndeer again and again."

Mcain becareful for what you wish for because you gonna get.

Wolf B. –
WHY ARE YOU HIDING THE BREAKING NEWS THAT Obama's chief financial contributor has just been convicted in Chicago of at least 16 felonies and the jury is still reading the balance of verdicts on remaining charges.

Just another example of how CNN covers for Democrats.

Though I am currently supporting Obama, but am still open to pandering from mccain or obama until i read further into both, I have to admit, if you read McCain's speech transcript last night (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/03/mccain.speech.transcript/index.html) he blasted obama pretty hard last night. I feel like this race is about to get even better (to watch)

All hail the presidential election race, the greatest reality show of all time, with two people fighting to the lowest they can go and the media egging it all on.

The American People didn't get to "know" McCain just yesterday.
But many of us do know him and don't like him.

Obama is a good man. Mr. McCain thinks "town hall meetings"
will be "good for Obama" with Obama drawing crowds of 75,000
people and the voters throwing money his way. And, McGimmick
says, he wants town hall meetings with NO Gimmicks. Believe that
one? McCain has NO MONEY and that is why he wants to control
Obama with how HE wants the campaign to be. Obama put up
with Hillary's "way" on debates. Enough is enough. I think Obama
will draw 100,s of thousands of people! And he can have it his way.

Just Protect the Good Man on the way to the White House!

To Staunch Hillary Supporter:

I have no dog in this fight but your mathematics don't work. If you are choosing to exclude the Superdelgates from your calculation then the number needed is not 2118 (that number is the threshold needed to achive a majority of pledged AND superdelegates).

Pledged delegates total 3,409. The 50% mark therefore would be 1704.5, i.e. 1705 needed for a majority. As you pointed out Obama has more that that....

TO: STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER

1.The nomination Metric is not POPULAR VOTE but Delegate Obama has more thus HE WON.
2. We OBAMA SUPPORTERS WOULD RATHER LOSE THAN GIVE V.P. TO HRC. So your vote means NOTHING to U.S.

Obama-Webb! or Obama-Sebelius?

When will Hillary get the message that Obama is the affirmative action candidate of the year, and with his nomination, affirmative action is gone in America. There is no need for another affirmative action candidate. After all, while Obama may be very smart, and clearly is very slick, we already elected a used car salesman in 1992 and 1996. We need someone who also has a little public policy experience himself, and someone who knows how to work with people in the other political party.

Dear Staunch Clinton Supporter,

Or should I say

Dear Sore Loser,

How can you possibly support a McBush for President if you actually believed in anything that Hillary was saying???

She lost – get over it.

Watching McCain's speech was so painful. I felt like I was watching a John Hughes comedy where some old guy was running for President and everyone is making fun of him, but he doesn't know it.

Do we really need a President who older than Plutonium?

************************************
**********************************

All you embittered Clintonites are pathetic! Enough with your day late dollar short threats already! Go on and vote for McCain I dare you! All this "he needs her more than she needs him" is such a joke. Is that so? Then why did your horse lose? Oh right that vast conspiracy? Only left wing this time?? Give me a break, Obama does not need her, please have fun throwing your vote away on McCain, and PRESIDENT OBAMA will see you in 2009

**********************************
************************************

Wolf, I am tired of you. Go away.

Great idea
Obama should run with Clinton as v.p. and then after the elections and after the NY Governer will appoint a other senator he should just fire her as his vice president , so he should first get her supporters to vote for him and then get rid of her as soon as possible i think she would do so anyway

Note to STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER................check the stats. Obama has the popular vote.

As the race between Obama and McCain heats up, this will finally push Hillary Rodham Clinton off the stage. That is, IF you let this natural occurance happen, Media.

And especially you, Wolf Blitzer. Can you let the "dream ticket" fantasy go? Can you stop beating the idea like a dying dog, holding Obama hostage with it, and let the REAL contest begin??

How many times have you gone on and on and on about McCain's VP choice? Ask yourself that, and stop querying others on camera. Every. Half. Hour.

When McCain Stood beside GWB was not to acknowledge Bushs' failed policies ...........but out of respect...Which is more than Obama teated his Pastor Dednied the man of 20 year friendship??????????/

Either way, Clinton DID have AT LEAST as many PEOPLE vote for her as Obama And have no doubt, Obama will NOT win the GE. Just as GWB said one thing, but was truly a right winger, Obama has been saying one thing, but actions demonstrate him to be a true left winger. The vast majority of the American public are far more conservative, and that is not to be confused with the high jacking of conservatism by the right wing of the Republican party. Now maybe this is just too much for most to uderstand, but I'll be back to do the old "I told you so". By having superdelegates give the nomination to Obama, they successfully lost the GE. Didn't think they could do it given the times, but the dems are just not the party of the people any more than the GWB crowd is.
And for those that believe McCain is Bush 3, that simply demonstrates how gullible you are...like saying it enough times makes it true...WMD, bedt you BELIEVED that too. More evidence that Obama is the same as GWB...so much for change.

Is the United States of America a democracy?

Kind Regards
"One of your European friends"

Hey, Clinton supporters, how about doing us all a favor. Keep the twisted-logic Hillary-math comments on the blogs that have to do with her. This blog is about Obama and McCain.

Many of you have been threatening to vote for McCain if Obama won the nomination. Like it or not, he has won. Hillary math doesn't count here. Real numbers do. He's won. If you have been threatening to vote for McCain, I challenge you to register Republican, send at least 50 bucks to McCain's campaign (he certainly needs the money), and then vote for him. Put your money where your mouth is, or shut the hell up. We're tired of hearing your tantrums.

OK PEOPLE LET ME REMIND YOU THAT BEING THE SPOUSE OF A FORMER PRESIDENT DOES NOT GIVE YOU EXPERIENCE………….I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO IGNORE THAT………BUSH HAD EXPERIENCE AND LOOK WHERE WE ENDED UP!

At this point,
I would rather have Rev. Wright serve as Obama's VP. At least he is consistent in what he does and says.

Hillary, is like a Bi-polar Monster . One minute she is praising Barack. Seconds later, she is stabbing him in the back.

I'm with you Staunch Clinton Supporter.

Comments written in all caps should be deleted.

Watched McCain's speech today.That scary smile should scare anyone from voting for him.

I am still trying to find out what Obama has accomplished. These guys so far are not considering the fact that we may have a third candidate for President an Independent.

If the comments from Obama supporters reflect on the candidate, then his commitment to uniting the country are w/out hope. The views expressed here are too often hateful and divisive. How can Obama bring hope unless we as a people (party) project hope and tolerance. Here is Obama's first opportunity to unite the country. It will be interesting to see how he handles it. But the spite filled invective spewed here by Obama supporters is more reminisent of Rev. Wright than the UNITER we HOPE Senator Obama may/could be. Give it a rest folks. RENT a more generous perspective, if you can't find it w/in yourselves to adopt one. If Obama is to do his best, his supporters should support "the better angels" of his mssg and not the dregs of his politics, so often heard on this site. WE CAN do better for ourselves and our country and support Senator Obama together, only if we are tolerant of those whose veiws differ from ours. Your candidate and country deserve more generous support than the negative views which are daily expressed in forums such as this one.
Congradulations Senator Obama! I sincerely hope you have the wisdom to lead us in a positive direction. If so, you will have my support.

Here is how a reasonable H.R. Clinton supporter sees the end of the Democratic primaries.
Total number of delegates needed to receive the Democratic Nomination 2118

Obama received 1767 elected delegates; he missed 2118 by 351 delegates
Clinton received 1640 elected delegates; she missed 2118 by 478 delegates.
Obama has 18 million + popular votes
Clinton has 18 million + popular votes
Obama won 33 contests
Clinton won 19 contests

Thus neither Obama, nor Clinton secured the number of elected delegates to win; but obviously, Obama won fairly. Let us move on to the GE.

Democrat to the whitehouse.

How can he acknowledge Obama's achievements when he has none? Acknowledge what? The goobers that think Obama has clue are just that. Goobers.

I understand the numbers, but in perhaps a more clear way:

He won more states.
He won more delegates.
Her popular number "victory" is a farce, and everyone knows it. You give no credit to caucuses or to states whose primaries were (to put it generously), seriously flawed.

Can you not see the irony of Hillary supporters blasting the superdelegates – when she started with the hugest margin of superdelegates on her side?! Without superdelegates, there is just pledged delegates and he STILL WINS.

Pulling out threats to get on the ticket, doesn't make her an appealing running mate at all.

Accept that she loss, and then try to make a case as to why she should be VP, but blackmail? I thought Democrats were better than that.

I am so tired of hearing Obama and his supporters saying that the party will be united NO IT WON"T and his supporters saying please don't choose Hillary for VP but telling us you better vote for Obama if you are a true democrat. I for one am voting for McCain but IF there is a REAL movement to write her name in than I am there with the 18 million strong.

Kenny-boy – states "I am one of Hillary Clinton's supporters that unless she is on the ticket, I will either write-in her name, vote for McCain or just not vote!"

Why not honor Senator Clinton with her 2nd wish: a Democrat in the White House? A vote for McCain is equal to a child's temper tantrum: A vote from McCain means you don't truly care what Senator Clinton's vision for America is – because both she and Obama's plans are the same.

A vote for McCain is a vote for war, recession, and a turning back the clock on women's rights and civil rights: and the end of the hope of health care for the uninsured.

If you don't care, then you were a real DINO – Democrat in name only.

to all the unedcated supporters of Queen Hillary Clinton:

IT IS OVER

Get over yourself. Its over for your queen. Please do not come on those blogs with your empty threats of not voting in the election or voting for McSame...Reality is who ever out there calls themselfes a real democrat but is willing to support McSame is a democrat we do not need or care for. You all said this day will not come , but oops here it is Obama is the Nominee. You all keep saying he will not get elEcted ? Well come Nov 5th, I and million other will say to you all :
YES WE CAN...YES WE DID

SO SHUT UP AND MOVE ON..Obama will get enough indep. and republicans to win the presidency with or without your support...
TAKE A HIKE...YOU LOSERS ....NO ONE CARES FOR YOU

Staunch – tu es stupide et rigolo! Tu m'a fais rire, Merci!

Hey Wolf,

How about some discussion of Phil Gramm , McSames financial guru, and how he lobbied for UBS? aka money for terrorists. haven't heard anything about this on CNN....

if you vote mccain remember you cant squell when america becomes a 3rd world country. However i will be sitting there with a rather dignified look saying i told you so lol

sadly i will also be in the shamble but atleast ill have some dignity because i told you so.

Obama the Hillary before my friend and Hillary after my Friend' Does not need such friend who discard people when no longer useful. Like Pasror Wright

Hillary And Her Extremist Supporters Can In Suck An Egg! Not All Hillary Supporters Are Going To Follow Your Empty Threats About Voting For Mccain! She Is Not Going To Blackmail Her Way Onto The Ticket! There Is A Team Of People Working On Obamas Pick For V P. Trust Me Its Not Going To Be Hillary! She Will Never Be President! Accept It!

Dude,

Your lack of service and accomplishments is not a state of McCain's mind.

As an American who loves his country, I'll be proud to vote against you in Nov.

McCain Democrat '08

I think it's funny how everybody is aguing over who would be better, and how bad off we'll all be if "x" candidate makes it into office. I'm 43 years old, and to be quite honest, I don't think any candidate gives a rats arse about the voters. They care about your votes and as soon as they get into office big business, and special interest groups dictate policy.
It doesn't matter who is in office, the House and Senate are still run by the same morons who got elected and don't have a term limit that are ruining the country. They keep spending our tax dollars on their pet projects, and don't have to answer for it. Treat Congressmen and Senators like any other employee, if they don't do their job FIRE THEM, and don't give them their benefits...maybe things would change for us all if they were facing the same problems we do every day.

What they both said was very true and explains exactlly why Obama will be our next president hands down!

McCain we do know you and have for a while now and guess what we don't like what we know! Nuff said!

McCain another thing I hope you are not going to continue with these dumb as^ comments and pluck shots we have had our fill of them after eight years of your twin brother President Dim Wit.

Let's elect someone who doesn't start his speeches with 'Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran'. We don't need any more of this garbage!!! It hurts us at home and in the eyes of the rest of the world. I want the US to have the respect that we had 8 years ago.

Acknowledge Obama's service???

What service is that? Voting "present" during less than a full term as a Senator???

Serving as a senator in the Great State of Illinois???

Please, someone, explain what service Obama has provided the nation, besides simply showing up???

Hillary for Vice President 08

At least the straight talk express calls it like he see it, people didn't just find out about him yesterday. Unlike Mr. Prententious who thinks he is the next coming of Christ.

Donna Brazile stated, her mama said not to change the rules in the middle of the game because it is called cheating. Well my grandmama said "a dog have shine teeth and he laughs at the butcher, ah ah ah ah."

Obama should respect and honor McCain's service to this country. Far more than he'll ever do. He walks on anybody to get what he wants. It will all catch up to him. Besides, Hillary is still going to the convention so he doesn't need to get too comfortable with his new title. HILLARY 08/12

To all Obamites,

Don't treat all Hillary supporters as if obama doesn't need our votes.
Let's see if Obama will win if Hillary supporters vote for Mccain or not vote at all.

If Hillary will not be on the ticket then I'll vote for Mccain or not vote at all. This is the sentiment of many of us. I know a lot of my friends (Hillary supporters) doing this.

Let's see if obama is really the stronger candidate between the two (him/Hillary). If he wins, that's good. If not, then all of you including the superdelegates will sourgrapes and say if only we voted for Hillary then we should have gotten the White House !

Hillary for vice president, if not Mccain for President or don't vote at all.

She leveraging for a McCain Clinton ticket. It doesn't seem like she's a Democrat anymore.

SCS:

You and the candidate you champion are delusional and should put on your grown-up underwear! Hillary lost fairly and squarely, despite her whining and less than honest attemps to change the rules.
Her campaign theme lacked consistency, and its message changed from state to state, proving Hillary will say and do anything deemed politically expedient.

The DNC continually moved the goal post for your candidate, allowed you to remain in the race well after victory was deemed mathematically impossible. Your candidate has cried, lied, fudged numbers, played every card imaginable and now refuses to acknowledge the obvious. The Democratic primary is over and she is not the nominee. She refuses to concede and will not even congratulate the victor. (Sour Grapes??!??)

To top matters off, all of you continue to have the nerve, the unmitigated gaul, the audacity to demand a spot on the victor's ticket??!?? Throughout the primary the Clinton campaign has tried intimidation and it has backfired. Just face it SCS, your girl has been exposed, before the world, just like McCain will be.

As a matter of fact, if McCain doesn't shore up his knowledge of the economy and get the players right in the Middle East, he will be destroyed. If I were Obama, I'd tell all of you and your idle threats to go to that very hot place, inhabited by that guy with the pitchfork and pointy ears.

I don't make it a practice to cite polls, but your diatribe confirms what polls indicate about you "staunch supporters". YOU GUYS AREN'T VERY SMART!

Listening to Sen. MCcain speak is torture.
I just can't stand it!
Please someone help this man.

Obama 08

Clinton and Obama are 99% the same when it comes to policy. Why then would someone who was a sincere supporter of Clinton not vote for Obama, but vote for McCain instead out of spite? This makes absolutely no sense. I understand that some Clinton supporters are disappointed, and some even angered. However, if you truly support Clinton, you should support the policies and the values she stood for. Taking the country down the incorrect path out of spite is just plain irresponsible.

Democrats unite!

CONGRATULATION TO ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HAVE SENATOR OBAMA SOON TO BE YOUR PRESIDENT. AS A CANADIAN WE BELIEVE THAT USA IS ONE OF THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. I USED TO WONDER WHAT WOULD BE LIKE TO LIVE IN AMERICA AND EXPERIENCE THE AMERICAN DREAMS THAT MOST AMERICAN USED TO SAY ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY. BUT THAT DREAMS SEEM TO FADE FOR A WHILE UNTIL NOW. WATCHING SENATOR OBAMAS' CAMPAIGN AND FOR HIS BELIEVE I AM VERY CONVINCE THAT HE IS THE RIGTH PERSON TO LEAD YOUR GREAT COUNTRY BACK TO BEING THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH.
CANADA FOR OBAMA

Hillary's dillusional supporters are really starting to get on my nerves. You don't get to change the rules to suit your interests.

The person with the most delegates wins end of story.

You don't get to come up with these ridiculous claims of winning the popular vote because your math is shoddy at best.

"Count ALL of the votes" but not the ones in caucus states because they don't favor us.

PLEASE STOP.

Debby, I bet the familes of the 4000+ dead soldiers would disagree with you about McCain.

Here we go Wolf, just listen to the Clinton Crazies threaten to go vote for McCain or not vote now, giving up Roe vs Wade, giving up on balance on the Supreme Court, giving up on ending the Iraq War, giving up on borrowering money from China, giving up on Universal Health Care – for what? To show the "Democratic party", of which their candidate is a senior leader, you can act like a foolish child – and be completely oblivious to the fact that Clinton acted very nasty in this campaign towards Obama, towards her own party, even towards the voters themselves (gas tax holiday anyone? hard working white americans) and paid the price by choking on getting this nomination.

You Clinton supporters crying about going to vote for McCain are pathetic whiners, pouting in the corner because your candidate did not win. Boo hoo. Go vote for McCain, so I can sit back and laugh at you watching all that women have fought for, turned back generations.

I find it hilarious that the only thing the Anti-Obama people can muster up as a reason not to vote for him is FEAR.

Using words like "risk" etc.

That is ALL the old-style politicians have in this era : FEAR to control us.

MY GENERATION WILL NOT STAND FOR IT.

OBAMA 08' – THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST.

Slimesista that name surely fits you.

Travis (in the real world. You are right about Blitzer. People were whining about CNN being biased. They were but they were on Hillary's side. I bet even tonights news, just like last nights, was more about Hillary than Obama. The CNN team made me change to MSNBC during the primary's. At least MSNBC had reporters who supported both candidates.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER. What planet are you on. You guys are still trying. Since she can't get popular vote (count all the votes remember, that includes the caucus votes), and she didn't get the total delegates, now you're playing with words, elected delegates. Don't forget their are more delegates holding out for your scumbag games who will take him where he needs to go. You people are low life.

How dare the Hillary supporters say that then only thing people are obsessed with is getting a black man into the white house. Forget the fact that he is an intelligent man who fought to get where he is and didn't get there by bill's coat tail. Obama won the Nomination fair and square, race had nothing to do with it.

Then have the audacity to say he will get stomped by McCain. First off the only thing that McCain has to offer is foreign policy experience and he already telling you based off his experience that he is willing to stay there 100 year. (yea that’s smart). He has no regard to how bad the economy is and if your stubbornness allows you to vote for him in the GE go ahead; because with or without your vote Obama will come out on top by the people who have the common sense to look past their own selfishness and support him. My suggestion to you is to get on the winning team

Obama '08

I disagree with McCain. did he see the record number of people that have registered. Those people don't know you McCain. Your a blank slate to them also.

Wolf, why are all the other news media reporting Obama's delegate/superdelegate count at 2160-2165 and CCNN shows 2157 still? What up with Clinton News Newtwork (CNN)?

THESE ARE OBAMA'S WORDS ABOUT MCCAIN:
John McCain, a man “who has served this country heroically.” Obama then pointedly added: “I honor that service, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine.”

Well I guess the reason McCain along with the rest of America (including the Obama supporters) cannot point at his accomplishments is because WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE!!!!! All we know is that he has been a community organizer, and a friend of well documented terrorists, America haters, and a proud disciple of a Liberation Theology cult for 20 years.

Mr Obama, what are your accomplishments? America wants to know!!!!!!

GRANDSON HAS A 71 YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER, HE DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ONE. AND BY THE WAY, HIS 71 YEAR OLD GRANDFATHER HAS EXPERIENCE IN TALKING ABOUT THE THINGS THEY WAY THEY USE TO BE, JUST LIKE JOHN MCCAIN. YOU KNOW JOHN MCCAIN IS SENILE WHEN HE SAYS OBAMA IS LIKE BUSH. JUST PLAIN SENILE.

Our fine business men already started gears up to get this economy back on the road even before the general election. There are good thing coming to our country in the very near future. Bless all of our canidate for a job well done but now it time to move on in a new direction.

Now you and other Clinton supporter have throw that card out there that you wouldn't vote for Obama if he got the nomination. Now your saying your only vote for him if he put Hillary on the ticket or you'd vote for McCain.

My life is pretty good I'm not affect by the increasing cost of "everything" in this country these days but if you think a lot of people struggling now can afford it for another 4 or 8 years, then you make them suffer by voting for McCain.

President Obama should keep the door open for whatever amount of Hillary supporters want to jump on board, then and tell Hillary and the rest who are threatening to go over to the Rupublicans, to shove off.

As an adult, I never thought I would live to see the day when a candidate took her ball home because she didn't like the outcome of the game. What she is doing is not "fighting", she's holding the presidency hostage, until she gets a job for her and her husband. They need to be in the limelight. . As much as Hillary supporters tout the fact that Hillary has 17 million supporters, they need to remember that that the rookie Obama has just as many supporters, and more of those are independants. I like Obama's chances without her. He got this far without her, I think he can go all the way.

Now, I don't mind witnessing a smackdown between Obama and McCain. That would be par for the course.

But Hillary shouldn't have done it.

However, it wound up making Obama stronger. Notice how he's winning some, if not all, of the foreign policy battles with McCain. He'll cream McCain on the economy and other social issues!

Staunch Clinton Supporter:
If you count the popular vote, then count it only in SANCTIONED primaries and caucuses. Woops, there goes the lead. Woops, guess that 328,000 to NOTHING Michigan vote (rejected BY THE VERY PARTY TO WHICH SHE BELONGS on the grounds that the margin is clearly not "fair reflection") didn't "count anyway" afterall...Just like she said it would IN OCTOBER! (A penalty for which Harold Ickes voted.)

Besides, it's delegates, delegates and more delegates...like the kind awarded in Iowa, Washington and Maine in which popular votes are not accrued in any fashion even remotely resembling fair reflection...Oh, but THOSE don't count either, I forgot...Funny caucuses and the structure of the nomination process was good enough for Bill (twice)...Seemed pretty fair then, huh?

And finally, the junior NY Senator can now have anything she wants and she has earned it. Nothing is being taken from her. Everyone is bending over backwards for her and her supporters. She is not being persecuted and neither are they. She will be in possession of 45% of the delegates at the convention and will be taken care of. The notion that the standard-bearer of the party with a quarter-billion dollar warchest is somehow being deprived of something is completely specious. She had her chance and got out-politicked by someone with less experience...the kind of experience she claims to have.

And if her supporters vote for McCain and the GOP–longtime friends to women on issues like equal pay, family leave and the like–I would submit they were Republicans to begin with. Good riddence.

Quiet as kept,
I think Hillary is currently a Closet Republican. She could have very easily taken a position to serve as Commander in Chief for Rush Limbaugh's "Operation CHAOS".

What other rationale would she have for not conceding?

Jon, and so called stanch supporter of Hillary,

You do have to admit what they are saying is true. Count the Caucus states, and while you are at it count the many voters who could not vote as they would have wanted to this primary season. I am a republican and have only crossed over voting lines one other time; however, now that Obama is the nominee of the Dem party you bet your sweet butt I will be voting for him.

It has nothing to do with wanting a black man in office but in knowing that he is not willing to send my only son or my two daughters into a war that we never should have been in in the first place. I want health care I can afford. I want my job to never be outsourced to another country (why I would never vote for Hillary) as my old job was because of the nice NAFTA agreement she was for.

Go ahead and vote for McCain since your candidate did not make it so you can cry for another 4 years with him and maybe crying for all the young kids he will send to war only coming home in a body bag. It is your right, however; do not talk bad about others decisions. He won the vote fair and square. Why is your vote so much better than anyone elses? The votes were cast in ALL states (even caucauses) and she got votes given back to her in FL and MI when she broke the rules, how much fairer do things have to be for her?

I am a white woman, single mom, 42 year old, semi-educated (AAS Degree) live in a Red state (ARIZONA) and I want what is best for the country.

Go President Obama!

I feel very sorry for you, Wolf. Such a historic moment took place yesterday - America's first African-American Nominee for the presidency - and you were so busy trying to make the story about Hilary that you missed it.

Jack Cafferty said it really well yesterday when, during the Situation Room, you spent five minutes talking about Bill Clinton, who was not even on the ballot, and then someone try to talk about Obama you decided thirty seconds were too long : "Are you kidding?!" The more you have tried to shove Hilary down people's throat, the more foolish you have look - especially since she keeps proving herself a deranged narcissistic brat.

By the way, while you were busy trying to make the day about Hilary, I turned my tv to msnbc where rational people understood the historic significance of the day.

I don't even need to comment on STAUNCH's foolish comments. I have the same feeling as the ones whose comments were directed to you. I just have one thing to say......DON'T GET SO EMOTIONAL AND STOP BEING BITTER FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES!!!!! DO YOU REALLY WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF THE SAME POLICIES? DO YOU REALLY WANT ROE vs WADE TO BE OVERTURNED. If a dem is not elected come Nov, don't whine and complain within a year when you see that we are right where we are now.

and Wolffe: LET THE DEBATES BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wolf, stop pushing Hillary as vice president on our throat. We don't want her.

What does Barack Obama believe?

Obama did not make the rules but the D party. I am a big supporter of Obama and I can tell you Clinton supporters if Hilary would had won, I would still vote for Her regardless. I just want the Republicans out of the White House. Many of Obama and Clinton supporters fail to realize that they belong to D. Party. I heard a saying that "In Politics you do not have permanent friends nor permanent enemies". You guys should not be emotional about this this is how the media play with your mind and it is called DIVIDE AND RULE. Do not play into the hands of the Republicans. Wise up

John McCain. We don't know you. I have seen many flip flopping statements you made. You supported 95% of Bush's policies.
You agree with the war.

We don't know you, but we will. You need to focus on your direction and your own history and decisions. NO MORE BUSHES or THEIR
CLONES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, you're right Wolf: BO is a blank slate and campaigning with all his slick talk/talk/talk cannot change that.

For those of you who keep going on about the popular vote, count all the votes where they were bot on the ballot. If you do that, then Obama has won the popular vote. Also, if you include Guam, Americans abroad, Maine, Washington and Nevada, he is even further ahead and probably beats her even if you include Mi. If you say you are a supporter of Democracy, then the democratic thing is to only count the votes where they were both on the ballot, otherwise you act like a dictatorship.
As for super delegates, CLinto was always the one who said they would decide and it would be all right if they chose her even if Obama was leading. Now that they have decided. it seems that if they don't support her, then they should not count.

I think Obama should pick Tiger Woods as running mate! Tiger's got the money.

I think Staunch Clinton Supporter is really just a Republican in Democratic clothing.

I think some of the pro hillary comments are from real Democrats, but probably not most of them. Be mindful that the rebullyican format is to continue to divide the party and they hope their pathetic candidate will be a little better than Obama.

Clinton is a great person with lots to offer the country. I do not believe a black man and a woman together on one ticket are that strong. I still believe someone like Sen. Nunn or Governor Richardson would be a better Vice President because of their strong international background. All Clinton does is bring what we think are 18 million, but unfortunately, I think a lot of them were Rebullyican cross overs so they can mess with the results.

This comment is for STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER. If you can't count just SIT DOWN and BE Quiet. Reality is Senator barack Obama already WON...............YES He already won.........No matter how you do the Hillary mathematic strategies there is no way that she can take that nomination away from Senator Barack Obama or should I say your soon to be President.
So as for you sit down and shut up.
Canada for Obama

Clinton News Network (CNN), Wolf, Lou, Bill Schneider are all closet Hillary supporters.

TO DEBBY...

SO YOU ARE STILL ATTACKING OBAMA...WHY ARE YOU STILL AROUND BLOGGING WITH YOUR NEGATIVITY...YOUR GIRL HILLARY LOST....PUT A SOCK IN IT....THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU....

The race is on.........

against McCain.

Hillary Clinton Vice President!

Go Obama/Clinton!!

We think we know a lot about McCain, but do we?

What about Charles Keating?

And now what about former Senator Graham of Texas.

I think it's time for "the real Senator McCain to standup."

Let's have some straight talk about your relationships with the lobbyists and foreign agents.

Staunch Clinton Supporter....

Who are you for? clinton ..... or a democratic President? Get over it! She lost...fair and square. Obama 08!

So, what does that have to do with taxes? Either way..we are going to pay...either way, good or bad, the people will be effective. So if all of you Clinton supporters have been Democrats all along, what's wrong with supporting the party and bringing it together. Just because someone is not the one you pick..."oh yea, you Clinton voters are going to fix us democrats, we're going to vote for McCain." Really, what sense does that make. Or, "I'm not voting at all." You're still going to suffer like everyone one else if McCain gets elected. Don't be another Florida/Michigan Senior Rep and cause your "party" to vote in the wrong direction...you could very well be penalized later!

To Clinton Supporter:
First, as you noted Obama won more elected delegates. Second, the supers did put him over, but that is part of the process. I distinctly remember when Clinton was ahead in superdelegates, or "automatic delegates" as her campaign called them, Clinton supporters were not upset about their role. However, now that the tide has shifted so have Clinton supporter's views. Clinton only wins the popular vote if caucus states are not included. But remember, as Clinton has said, all votes should be counted and thus so should the caucus states.
Lastly, as a democrat I do not think it is appropriate for Clinton supporters to be blackmailing for VP spots. Yes it is blackmail as your last paragraph was a "threat". In nov. when it comes time to vote you must vote on the ISSUES not on the person. If you supported Clinton, you supported her because of her issues, therefore your next choice should logically be Obama. This election is not about the person running for president per se but rather HOW they will operate America and WHAT they will do for America. We can not afford another 4 years of Bush-like policies.

Although some people don't seem to get it [see above], the winner is the nominee with 2,118 delegates–that includes pledged and supers. Obama is well over that number.

The only way to say that Hillary got the popular vote (which is not how primaries are measured, anyway) is to count Michigan where Obama's name was not even on the ballot. Anyone with a sense of fair play has to realize that is not a valid indicator.

I want Hillary to be #2 on the ticket. That being said, those "staunch" Hillary supporters who won't vote for our party's nominee if they don't get their way, are idiots.

What we have to remember is that we are not facing the "good" John McCain. John McCain sold himself to the political devil of George W. Bush. He filled his campaign with lobbyist and when he was caught, he did what "W" would do. He let them go and said "sorry". The Issue is not that he let them go, but that he either thought it was ok to hire them before they were found out or did not have the intelligence to know where they worked. Either way, it shows a lack of judgment.

He has changed all his views to almost the exact view that "W" has on every issue. Any differences between McCain and "W" is merely cosmetic. This is not leadership. A leader takes a position, based upon his knowledge and experience and sticks with it. A leader does not accept a position from someone else in order to fit his party. McCain had centrist veiws which were admirable, too bad he "FLIP FOLPPED ON THEM ALL".

Oama says what he thinks people want to hear – people are sick and tired of Bush – you don't have to go to Harvard to figure that one out. Obama reminds me of a showman – all flash and hype. When the gloves come off you are going to see fumbles from Obama – plenty of them.

Not for Hillary. She didn't answer his phone call to her. Remember, she is a fighter, not a uniter.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER

have you heard of super delegates???

Unfortunately Obama and Clinton are well off. But majority of the people ranting that they will not vote for him are struggling, so if voting for Obama will bring prosperity to you, why should you vote for Mcain?

I wish that she and Geraldine Ferraro, would just fly away on the broomstick from which they came.

Staunch- That is such a foolish thing to say. Clinton herself has said either herself or Obama would be vastly better than McCain. The fact that you would support McCain (whose policies are nowhere near Clintons) instead of Obama shows that its just sour grapes for you diehard Clinton supporters and not whats best for this country. I support Obama but would vote Clinton in a second if she had won.

"AND IF NOT, we the Clinton’s staunch supporters will either not vote at all, or vote to support J. S. McCain and that is not an idle threat, we are her legion of supporters and how you treat her is how we will feel that we are being treated…"

If you would vote for Senator McCain, then you either weren't a genuine follower of Senator Clinton's values, or you are simply being a petty brat.

GO VOTE FOR MCcAIN BUT SHUT UP FOR THE NEXT 4 YRS WHEN WE PAYING 8 BUCKS FOR GAS AND OUR ECONOMY IS WAY WORSE THAN NOW

To Staunch.

do us a favor and don't vote. don't need ya anyway.

Most of Obama's digs are polite, as noted above. He may lose if he does not grit his teeth and show some meanness.

Many of McCain's shots condenscending; i.e. "Let me show you Iraq." He may lose if he continues with the low blows.

America is at a critical crossroad, and America will make up it's mind. The whole world's watching this election much more closely than most Americans realize.

STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER ..... then you are not a TRUE DEMOCRAT.......... cause regardless, any democrat is better then McCain in the White House in 2009.
I'm so blown away by the "we wont vote" comments from Hilary supporters.
Well I guess we all, blue collar, women, blacks, young, old....all of us will suffer as McCain runs us through four more years of the same things that have us struggling now.
But I'm sure you don't see it that way. All you see right now is "emotionally" drivin. But I would suggest you go with what will affect you personally, affect your pocket, your kids, your life specifically. Cause guess what, regardless, Clinton will be just fine. She's going to keep making money, working in politics for polices, etc. But it will be us, the average people that suffer at the hand of the republicans.
Are you really willing to live with that?
I'd have to implore you to think that over. Cause me, and my three children, struggling as we do now, would argue that isn't the best thing for americans right now.

Wolf, you couldn't have said it better........

Hey Staunch Clinton Supporter dont you think that the DNC would have wanted to back the first WOman president as well?? Its pretty much the same you imbecile. If you werent so high on hillary you would see that beyond that cloud you live in either one would have been historical...Stop with your Conspiracy theories because the oonly conspiracy i see is if Obama doesnt win the presidency against John McSame

MCain is afraid of Obama. He knows that Obama has brought in so many new voters. He knows Obama has independents as well as Republicans on his side. Yes McCain has been around a long, long, long, long time and that is exactly why we, Americans want change. Since McCain wants to say he is an ELDER in politics, what has he done for this country lately. We are in a RECESSION, our SOLDIERS are dying everyday regardless of how many per month. One life is like a hundred. Therefore McCain needs to back down and sit down.

Please, let us get THE CLINTON'S THE Hell out of there and move on.
They are disturbing human beings.

NO more! Trouble making Clinton's. All I can say about Bill Clinton's
"so called popularity as President is HE WAS in the right place at the
right time. In other words, times were good and he was lucky. I think
he was "doing more" than running the country. Maybe we can thank
his CABINET for running the country then. Somebody had to run the
country. Whoever, sure made him look good.

I NEVER want to see Hillary or Bill on MY TV again.

Carolyn Kennedy is a great person and I trust that the choice of V.P will
be an excellent one. My heart broke when I heard the news about Ted
Kennedy. My Thoughts and Prayers are with them.

And for those who will vote for McCain instead of Obama, you will be
voting against yourself and your families well being if you choose McCain. Goodbye ANY entitlements. And be sure to look hard into
how McCain wants to END all entitlements. That is what he means
by NO BIG GOVERNMENT. And, the GI Bill, he wants the men to
have "the BETTER OPTION TO STAY and RE-INLIST TO KEEP SENDING MEN TO IRAQ. THAT IS WHY HE IS EXTENDING THE
GI BILL TO A FAMILY MEMBER IN CASE THE SOLDIER DON'T MAKE
IT HOME!!!!

Hey, STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER(s) .....shut up, sit down and stop exposing you stupidity and ignorance....are you one of those illiterates from WV or KY? Don't vote, stay your butt home, but stay off the blogs and move the the state of Denial that Billary is now the president of!

Obama '08

Staunch Clinton Supporter,

You're obviously not counting the caucuses, are you? We have our nominee. You've been playing with the numbers to suit your candidate, but truth be told, rules followed, Obama is the nominee. Clinton had in the bag, but didn't do what was needed to win. What's next, "BEST TWO OUT OF THREE"

To STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER:

Let it go! No, she did not win the popular vote except by her count. Get a grip. It's over. I know you are grieving. HRC will conced by week's end.

Don't worry, you'll feel better in a few months.

Go Barack Obama, all the way to the White House!!!!

I am tired of the STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTERS to speak as they are representing the whole HRC constituency. There will be defections but probably only closet republicans. Barack will claim the independent vote and we can afford, actually we HAVE to, loose the divisiveness of HRC. So, STAUNCH CLINTON SUPPORTER good riddance!

Obama will easily bury McCain.

McCain is a true symol of America's past. While Obama is a true symbol of America's today and tomorrow.

America does not need the same thing over, and over, and over and over again.

What America needs, is something fresh, something new, hope, and a new beginning towards the endless posibility.

And Obama is the one who embodys that.

I have full confidence that Obama will win over McCain easily in November. Without a shadow of a dought.

Andy
Boston

Gloves? The only real fighter is McCain. BO is just a media oddity. People are obsessed with getting a black person into the White House, regardless of his experience (or lack of) and they're prepared to risk the next four years on a media-induced hype.

GO VOTE FOR MCcAIN BUT SHUT UP FOR THE NEXT 4 YRS

Wolf, I don't think there is anything NEW McCain has to say. His story is the same old story: I am John McCain and I served my country all my life and we will stay in Iraq for 100years....

... and of course he will not agree to anything unless it starts with: "back then as I was serving in Vietnam....".

When you throw stones in a hog pen, whichever one squeals out is the one that got hit!! The fact that you all had to get on a conference call after the Aipac talk means Obama's stone hit you right in the center....way to go Obama, kill them with it....get on up, stand up, fight back, we're gonna win!!

Obama '08!

There is a core of voters for both candidates, and they will stand with them no matter what. The election, as usual, will be decided by the independents. Listening to both speaches yesterday I cannot see how McCain can win them over. He seemed a robot repeating prepared lines without any conviction or hearth. His line "that's not change we can believe in" was old and boring the first time he uttered it and it became more and more pathetic with every repetition. How is he going to inspire independents to vote for him?

Wolf, I found Obama to be tacky making that statement about McCain denying his. McCain's military service alone overides what Obama has ever accomplished so far. Obama as a community organizer has been less than productive, seeing the streets of Chicago are worse off then they ever were.

GET HIM BARACK!!!

MCBUSH HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING HIS WAY!!!!!

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it me or is Wolf a lil over-dramatic?

He's like CNN's answer to William Shatner.

hehehe just teasin! I love ya Wolf!

This is just another reason that Barack Obama needs to have Hillary on the same ticket as his VP, because he is unknown and not strong enough to beat McCain in November alone!

I am one of Hillary Clinton's supporters that unless she is on the ticket, I will either write-in her name, vote for McCain or just not vote!

Hillary Clinton for VP 2008

Despite the age being the obvious difference, they have opposite philosphies of government. Obama seems to believe that government can do good things for people. McCain seems to believe that government is part of the problem and should be eliminated. That is the part that I don't understand; those that feel the government is too large, but yet run for office and end up not shrinking it or making it larger.

when will you be taken off the tube

i'll be hammering for obama.mccain has no solutions .just more bush.

What will you do now Wolf that your favorite whinning nominee "Billary" is history,,,,are you sharing the same crying towel?...or will you retire and become her Press Secretary in Antartica?

Haha polite dig gold.

Here is how a staunch H.R. Clinton supporter sees the end of the Democratic primaries.
Total number of delegates needed to receive the Democratic Nomination 2118

Obama received 1763 elected delegates; he missed 2118 by 355 delegates
Clinton received 1640 elected delegates; she missed 2118 by 494 delegates.
Obama has 18 million popular votes
Clinton has 18 million + popular votes

Thus neither Obama, nor Clinton secured the number of elected delegates to win.

The popular vote goes to Clinton she received more votes than Obama.

However, the super delegates, anxious to make history by backing the first black American Democratic leader, ran over themselves to back Obama, and gave Clinton a difficult time.

What the Clinton supporters truly believe that since neither candidate won the designated 2118 for the nomination, THEY SHOULD BOTH SIT ON THE TICKET.

AND IF NOT, we the Clinton’s staunch supporters will either not vote at all, or vote to support J. S. McCain and that is not an idle threat, we are her legion of supporters and how you treat her is how we will feel that we are being treated…
