WASHINGTON (CNN) - Sen. Hillary Clinton will officially end her campaign for the presidency by the end of the week, multiple sources told CNN.
Sen. Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she will let her supporters and party leaders decide her course.
The campaign said late Friday that Clinton would be hosting an event in Washington Saturday to "thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity."
Obama and Clinton were in Washington on Wednesday to each address the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The candidates ran into each other at the AIPAC conference and had a brief chat, Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass said.
"She's an extraordinary leader of the Democratic Party and has made history alongside me over the last 16 months. I'm very proud to have competed against her," Obama told the Israel lobbying group.
Obama became his party's presumptive nominee Tuesday and will be looking to unite Democrats divided by the long and contentious primary season.
"I am very confident how unified the Democratic Party is going to be to win in November," he said in a Senate hallway Wednesday.
UPDATE: The Clinton campaign has announced it is holding an event Saturday to "to thank her supporters and express her support for Senator Obama and party unity."

liar
yes, finally..... Yes, we can..............
Come on now folks
Obama is the second Carter term while McCain is the second Reagan.
Let's get real.
Who wants an Obama/Carter ticket? You think gas is high now? Wait to you see what obyama and carter want to do for you.
Watch your wallet
I won't beleive it until I hear it from her own mouth, and she actually acknowledges him as the nominee.
Thank you, Hillary.
Gee...what a shock. Its about time that she admitted to herself that she has likely just helped keep the white house under Republican control.
Clinton...the new Nader.
Yeah, right!
Thank God. Now she can fly away on her broom.
Hillary you have run an awesome campaign just like Sen. Obama-you both have my respect and admiration and I hope to see you speak sometine in the Philly region again!!!
Obama/Clinton 08′!!!!!
Edwards as Poverty Czar
Hagel as Secretary of homeland Security
Gore as Sec. Of energy
Hallelujah!!! 'bout time she came to grips with reality.
Weird. My dog predicted this a week ago.
Now the healing can begin.
This is more than long overdue! Please let us not ever hear from you again.
She's not dropping out – She's been beaten – there is no two ways about it – she missed her opportunity to drop out last night, now she just looks foolish – No VP spot and her silence today again speaks volumes to her arrogance towards this process –
Obama needs to help the Democratic party move on from the Clinton era and focus on getting back into the white house and helping America – that's the big picture – not what Hillary will bargin her '18 million' votes for!
Finally Queen Hillary is stepping down...is it true or any tactical plan by her crony supporters...?. ..I am worried about Obama's safety.
Whew ! Now we can get on with serious business.
Why not now? Or last night when she had a chance?
Call me on Saturday morning to see if I believe her. She Also said 5 other times in this race that when ______________ Happenned she would drop out. The Latest was when Obama had the " Number" She would drop out. Well at last count he has more than ONE HUNDRED OVER THE NUMBER and she is still here.See what happens when you lie all the time??
Thank God.......Go Home....remember Shirley Chilsom in 1972....
Yeah!!!!
Thank you senator. Your campaign and your broad support has been historic, but any further campaigning would do nothing but to divide the party.
It is now time for Hillary and Obama supporters to come together. Both canidates, despite their differances this primary season, stand for the same things, where McCain stands for the last 8 years. We need a democrat back in the white house, even if he or she is not our first choice, or even our last choice.
Obama/Clinton '08, Clinton '16
PLEASE BE KIND, PEOPLE. She ran a great race. I'm an Obama supporter, and I thought she was a little mean. But honestly, the blogs have been filled with hatespeak from BOTH sides, so don't everyone get righteous.
Good job, Hillary. Best of luck to you in the future.
C'mon Obama, we can do this!!
Hillary supporters, my hand is out to you. Nevermind the idiots on my side. Don't be an idiot on your side. Think and please do what you feel is right.
Well the second best person has left the race... First Edwards now Clinton now we have TWO people who know NOTHING about the economy or the right way to handle the war...
No No NO not god bless America... God SAVE america from Obama or McCain
So she ends her campaign with the Democratic Party? So what? It doesn't mean myself and millions of others won't be writing in her name on the ballot this fall. She said she would be loyal to her party and that's an admirable quality. Well I don't turn and go where I'm told to by anyone especially Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, nor any other Democrat. I have a feeling many others feel this way too.
I realize the loss is very disappointing for Hillary. However, Senator Obama has indeed won and the people have spoken. He is the presumptive nominee and choice of the democratic party. I wish her well in her future endeavors.
Yes, We Can!
Thank goodness!
Does this mean she will take Bill and Chelsea with her too?
yes! now i only hope she won't be the VP pick.
Nuke that fridge!
GOOD.
NOTE TO HILLARY: IF YOU RUN IN 2012 PLEASE WEAR A FEW DRESSES AND SKIRTS. IT MAY HELP YOU LOOK MORE LADY LIKE.
IT JUST AMAZE ME HOW SOMEONE WHO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE "FIRST WOMAN" PRESIDENT HAS NEVER PUT ON WOMAN ATTIRE DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS. AND GOD KNOWS I HAVE BEEN WATCHING.
HEIDI- NC
Her campaign was over Tuesday night. I am glad she finally realizes it now. It is time for Dems to come together behind Obama and crush McCain and bring our troops home. I am very excited about Universal healthcare as well!!
Go Obama!!!
Amen, time to focus on winning the Whitehouse in November. It was a good fight but it's time to realize it's over. Hopefully the candidates can get together and figure out how Hillary can best help Obama and make it happen. Here is to our future President, Barack Obama !!!
obama team please no clinton for v.p. repeat no clinton . obama is abount change hillary is the same old same old.she is to dishonest
President McCain
Only for the Democrat's.... Give the New's!!! Not. 'Your version of the News'.....
She needed her time to decompress from this race and reflect...I respect that and her run...but its time to end this and I hope she goes out on high note by endorsing the nominee the soon to be President...Barack Obama.
Congratulations, you're about 4 months late on this one. Better late than never.
Take your husband, your sniper fire tales, and your fuzzy math with you
all i can say for this grate nation of ours is i voted for hillary
It's about time!!!!!
Let's united around barack to beat Mcbush in Novemember. I only wish she would have conceded gracefully last night. I think that she had to consider her Legacy and realize, it was not about her but about the people
OBAMA 08-16
Really??? I am sure she is saddened to find Barack Obama is alive & well and will be the next Pres of U.S. and she is OUT OF THE RACE. GET LOST HILLARY!!!!!
Thankyou HIllary, I appreciate all of your hard work and effort in this recent campaign, and I wish to congratulate you on a job wel done. However I am hoping to emplore you to fight on alittle further, not for yourself, but to help the party secure the nomination of the President of the United States. With you and your supporters I am sure we will do well.
Again Congrats Hillary on a Campaign well fought, and your tenacity will show others that with perserverance things can change, and hopes and dreams don't have to be just dreams.
Obama Supporter
Obama 08'
Democrats 08'
As with everything else....the Camp Obama nastys will have their say but in November, 18 million + Clinton supporters will have our say. Of course, he is only the presumtive nominee....alot can happen between now and August!!!! Beware DNC – you put him in here and not the majority of the voters. Be careful what you asked for!!!!
Why wait?? Do it NOW!!
She's not dropping out, she's going to form her own party for all of her supporters that say they are going to vote for McCain even though he votes the opposite on all of the issues that are important to them.
Finally!!! Let's hope she doesn't try and hold the Party HOSTAGE with her being VP crap......
"McCain is the second Reagan" is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in the past few weeks!!! LOL!!
McCain 2008, you sound as wacky as McCain. Go Away... McCain doesn't even know where he is today. This guy is a loser!
Thank God!! Now please just away.
Hopefully all of us democrats can start acting more civil towards one another now and focus our efforts on getting the republicans out of the White House.
Wow. Really? What a shock.
It's been over for some time now. Congratulations to Hillary on a good effort and glad she can finally see the writing on the wall.
Uhhh ... It's about time. How gracious will her second phase exit strategy be? Hopefully a heap more than the first.
Unbelievably she was able to convince people with brain function and a pulse that this wasn't about her (and Bill's Lewinsky-flawed legacy) all along. But then again, who would have thought George Bush would occupy the White House for eight long years.
I have lost all faith in my country.
It's over.
Whatever she wants to do with her campaign, it's her business.
Whether she concedes or not, it's up to her.
It doesn't matter.
It's over.
I hope it is true this time and not another one of her games!
Hillary – Something tells me we have not seen the last of you this year.
It's just not very "Clinton" of you.
Great Race Hillary
GO OBAMA!
Thank you Sen Clinton I had lost a great deal of respect for you, but if you stay true to this at least this one thing about being behind a democrat in November. You have lied many times now is your chance to redeem yourself.
Thank God, reality has set in!!!
What a sad day when the best candidate for the nomination has to drop out because of the insane delegate system. She won 18 million votes and all the big states we need to win in November.
And that's exactly three days too late! And an example of the negative attitude of her whole campaign....and why she won't be picked as the V.P.
Let this be a lesson learned: 'Play nice" next time Sen. Clinton....bye-bye.
Good three days too late. I thought maybe she was waiting for him to be knocked off
Since cnn is spinning let do this I think she going to run as a Independent
It's time to move on to the next stage of the campaign. Hopefully all the bitterness will end soon....
Who wants a Bush McShame Ticket?
******************************************
************************************
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
************************************
******************************************
***************************************************************************
With due respects to Senator Obama for running a good campaign, despite needing four times the money and the title of "media darling" to win.
His supporters need to realize a few things... They have been rude and disrespectful to Senator Clinton therefore, rude to her supporters... What they are failing to realize is that HE NEEDS HER, SHE DOES NOT NEED HIM and we will NOT support him, which means, he will in fact not have enough votes to win in November...
I would start being a bit respectful if I were you...
***************************************************************************
I'm already a registered Independent, so I don't have to anything to get away from the DNC. Now I can sit back and watch. Can't imagine why Hillary would be willing to work for this guy, but she's loyal, I do know that, so she probably will. I hope she doesn't agree to be the VP nominee. Why prop him up and be linked to a loser??
Her intense loyalty will probably lead her to advise her voters to go for Obama, but what she says and what we do remain to be seen. This Clinton supporter will either sit it out or vote for McCain. Just so my vote doesn't go to help BO. Ralph Nader? I finally understand what he's for.
Get away.....get very far away.....
I love you Hillary and you would make a great VP. Even if you don't get the spot then I believe in your sincerity to unite all of America.
What a sorrowful day that will be.........
out with experience...in with the empty WORDS
Shame on the superdelegates.......
She ran a great campaign. Democrats United...
Mcain 2008....you're the only one who seems delusional.
Mcain = Bush = the economic ressession that we're in right now.
Enough said
Obama '08!
I really hate all of the Obama supporters that have been so rude and disrespectful...
Remember... You need us, we don't need you!
Drop out? Seems to be she's already out and she's already been dropped. What's left for her to do?
what took you so long?
For: McCain for 2008 7:19
And McCain surely represents 4 more years of the screwed up Bush Administration. But I understand. You enjoyed the many screw up of the republician party. With Bush 28% favorability rating.
has she conceded???????????????
I dont know what she will say next/
i dont trust her.............
not yet..
not yet, dont see it yet,
seh has not apologized, she never gracoisly said he is the winner
i dont trust her..
these are the clintons
her website says differntly..........as of today 6:28 p.m. central time..
check h er website,
she says one thing and does another..
I hope that the division in the party is healed in the next several months, and that those who would have liked to see Senator Clinton as President think long and hard before casting a retaliatory vote against Senator Obama.
Thank you, Senator Clinton, for taking an important step.
Democrats '08
What arrogance......she could have come out as a winner by stepping up and supporting Obama as the nominee, but instead, she was rabble-rousing and inciting division in the party. Her conduction made all women look bad!
Vote McCain. The Democrats are just a total mess.
John McCain has the credentials, experience, military service, and fiscally responsible. Obama will raise taxes through the roof to keep the thousand promises he made.
The only other option maybe is Clinton to run as an Independent.
Will believe it when I see her campaigning for him ..............
As old as McCain is he probably wouldn't notice either way. The guy can't even put his hands up over his own head or be out in the sun light for more than ten minutes without peeling like a boiled egg shell.. He talks and looks like an albino robot from Mars.
HRC down Mcbush to go...
Senator Clinton has done alot for this country, and there are so many more things she could do if she wanted. She doesn't need to be president (or VEEP for that matter) to leave a positive legacy.
yes she is
why should we care now..her political career for the Presidency was over several months ago...get out now after all the bloodying you did to Obama and you couldn't do it sooner? What was all this for? Sorry Hill, you were WRONG for what you did and you should be ashamed of yourself! Good Ridance.
One more thing. I read on several blogs that several people who supported you and voted for you changed their minds after your negative, divisive role you took on in your campaign. So I am sure there are not $18,000,000.00 voters standing behind you...and as of Friday, they will be gone!
Oh by the way Hill, nice speech last night..I loved your congratulations to him for becoming the nominee!!! Good Bye Hillary Rodham Clinton and GOOD RIDANCE!!!
This is long overdue. She should have conceded gracefully last night and allowed Obama to have his magnanimous historic day. Rather Her Roral Highness Clinton, rained on his parade, as usual. The excitement is all gone. She can continue to run till she becomes extinct for all I care.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Thank you.
Thank You, New York Congressional Delegation!
Wow, it's no wonder that our economy and nation are in the shape they are in now.
Obama, at least recognizes that we cannot continue on the same path and expect different results. Btw...haven't we had enough of the rest of the world thinking we are idiots due to our President's inability to formulate a real thought without soundings fake or just plain ignorant. Did you watch McCain's unfortunate and uncomfrontable speech last night.
Huh? "McCain for 2008" needs to start the drinking AFTER posting, not before...
McCain2008
keep playing that golden oldie....eventually you might end up believing it, just dont expect America to follow your narrow point of view
I am yet to find out what McCain brings to the table beyond that smile that doesnt go well with his speech
About time!!! But I will believe it when I see it.
The sooner the better.
No VP offer for her.
Obama would do just fine by himself.
"I think that she had to consider her Legacy and realize, it was not about her but about the people"
- If it was about the "People" then Hillary would be winner, she has more votes even if you give MI votes to Obama the ONLY way Obama wins the "popular vote" is by using made up numbers from news channels that GUESS the number of voters in cacuses.
Either way Obama and McCain are as bad as each other! America is going to be so bad in the next few years that we will be a third world country.
Bummer...
Here's hoping the O can be half the executive his speeches sound like. Please please please ... don't blow it for the dems
Thanks for a good race, Sen Clinton. Now, democrats, let's take back the White House!!!
Please stop with the name calling of Hilliary. I'm an Obama support but will not be childness. Hilliary is a great person and has done great thing for American. Hilliary and Obama are the same 95% of the time. Please Obama support do the right thing and show Hilliary some respect.
i think that if everyone watched the documentary who killed the electric car we would see who really runs this country. the rich oil tycoons!alls i can say is if hillary isnt on the ticket with sen obama i hope that 2 faced john edwards dont get on the ticket,i am a 33 year old male truck driver and i voted for hillary.
She should have done it yesterday. Her self absorbed ego is sickening. Why did she have to downplay his win by not doing what she said she would?
In an attempt to encourage people to visit his website, McCain has copied Obama's slogan and logo for his homepage. LOL!
Good Bye... and Good Ridance... Don't forget to duck at the sniper fire on your way out...!!!
.............. Not NOW.........NOT Ever ..........
If you're a true democrat, you WILL support Obama in November.
All the bitter Clinton voters really need to look at the big picture here.
Why are we even having an election if you're going to elect John "short arms" McCain to the presidency?
We have the chance to have something very special with Barack Obama...let's not spoil that opportunity for the wrong reasons.
God Bless you Hill...
We are with you for the long run. Don't give up.
Looselips McCain is going down like the Titanic.
I got two words "about time"
Steveen in SLC: Please don't give Hillary and her supporters any ideas :0)
I think the sky just opened up...
The light is coming down...
Yes,the celestial choirs are singing!
For realsies this time?
To the Hillary supporters–please remember that Hillary and Obama share 99% of the same views and policies. Don't vote for McCain, someone with completely opposite views, just because your favorite candidate won't be the nominee. I feel that many women were insired by Hillary because she is a strng woman and they were excited to see a woman rise to the top. What does it say about feminism and the feminist movement if women everywhere voted for a man, not because he was the best candidate for the job, but because they didn't get their way?
Obama is the only candidate that is hoping to bring peace to our war-and-economic torn world through discourse and positive change.
It's time to put aside our differences and unite for the betterment of the world.
OBAMA...//// ... GORE...Ticket
Time to heal the party, unite, embrace and support the Clinton supporters, as well as Senator Clinton, and their important heartfelt issues, and win in November. Much love and respect to Senator Clinton and her supporters for the hard-fought, respectful campaign they ran. It is my hope that her and Senator Obama can come together to lead the Democratic Party to victory in November.
I pray that, for the sake of this country and it's people, she isn't ending her PRESIDENTIAL campaign, just her DEMOCRATIC PARTY campaign. She can win as an independent.
Hey McCain for 2008,
This article's about HRC ending her campaign. You're already for McCain. So what's your point?
Obama's gonna clobber McCain. Scared?
"Obama is the second Carter term while McCain is the second Reagan". Real Smart Analogy
I guess the Republicans are then responsible for the current increase in gas price? Forget the fact that the economies of China, India and Brazil are growing at almost twice the rate of the US economy.
McCain for 2008= Get a clue! A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
Thank God....I just hope that she does it with as much grace as he gave her.
After seeing that speech of McCain's last night I find it difficult to imagine McCain supporters even getting out of bed this morning. Obama came off like a JFK and McCain came off like Grandpa Simpson.
Now, my focus is on McCain. He's a true Patriot and he loves his country as I do – and of course Hillary too.
McCain '08 for Clinton '12
Senator Clinton,
I am from India and yet, it was great to see you run for the possible nomination. It is a shame that it all boiled down to campaign and media management rather than substance. The world has seen the impact of such election in shape of Bush for the last 8 years. I was hoping that havng made that grave mistake once, of straying from substantive issues, media and people wont get caught up in dialogue-delivery and stay on issues, but I guess, the media and polity in US is quite similar to media and polity in India, except that politicians and media in India are less focused on religion/faith issues of candidates. The result of nomination process is sad indeed. But I wish you and your family all the best, and I hope that the world will see more of you. Regards
Munni
Sad end to a sad campaign. What a tragedy.
Regarding Hillary's mounting campaign debt of $30MM, if she would have conceded earlier when her chances of winning were becoming slim, she would not be in nearly as much debt as she is today. Her choice to continue to run was her personal choice. I can understand her desire to "see the contest through to the end," but it comes with a price tag, win or lose.
Great!
I won't consider it a dead issue until after the convention. She'll be working the superdelegates all summer. She's not a politician that can be trusted regardless of what she says.
Let's unite and put a Democrat in the Whitehouse. If McCain is elected none of Hillary's goals will be attainable. Universal Health Care and the lives of our soldiers is more important than hurt feelings. Thanks Hillary!!!
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sen. Clinton should be ashamed of herself! She had the audacity to not concede on Tuesday and now act as though she is doing Sen. Obama a favor by letting it be known that she will pull out on Friday. Sen. Clinton "SHAME ON YOU"
Well, this year it means I am voting Republican because I am not voting for Barack Obama and I am a registered democrat.
Carlee from Michigan
38 yr old female
And another flock of bird-dogs flew by......I'll believe it when I see it.
OBAMA 08
NOOOOO!!!!!IT'S A SHAME REALLY PEOPLE JUST VOTE FOR HIM BECAUSE HE'S BLACK...LIKE GLENN BECK SAYS,"SOME WHITE PEOPLE VOTE 4 HIM JUST 2 SAY THERE "OPEN-MINDED"AND NOT RACIST.
Finally!! It's about time! Now lets unite!!
I'll believe it when I see it.
Good now we all can move on
John Mc Cain all the way 2008, Dean and the Corrupt Party slapped us in the Face as Voters so now Why Vote there Pick Obama, Never and CNN you print what you want but always interfere with freedom of speech on what we post! whats next in November a Repeat of Calling the Vote in Early again and Electoral College Bringing us Obama!
She's late! The race was won and O-V-A-H last night!
Yes! I bet she got a lot of calls from many of her supporters in the Demo-Party about how she conducted herself last night?
Go Obama! No more Hillary!
What choice does she have? I support her running as an independent. She received millions of votes, has millions of supporters who are not Obama endorsers. As far as I'm concerned she owes the Democratic party nothing – they turned on her and handed the nomination to Obama. If she runs as an independent she will also get Republican votes and independent votes.
Not only that, but we don't know what could be unearthed about Obama between now and the convention that could force him out. We just don't know. Hail Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Drama Queen!!!
Congrats on a great campaign, Senator Clinton.
Congratulations Senator Obama.
Congratulations to our democratic party for two excellent candidates who want to achieve great things.
She should go with the Independent party. what did her party do for her. I hope Obama didn't forget to send MSNBC, Howard Dean and the pathetic cowards in the DNC that screwed her over a THANK YOU NOTE. Obama didn't go out winning with a bang– she did– 9 out of 14 states. I wonder why we don't see the footage of Obama saying the"popular vote" is the most important vote anymore. I will never vote for him and it isn'tbecause he's black, I'll put her name on the ticket or vote for the republican. what was done to her was blatantly unfair and obvious. It wasn't just sexist.Lessons need to be learned for future candidates. i bet you won't read this one on the air,
Senator Clinton,
I am from India and yet, it was great to see you run for the possible nomination. It is a shame that it all boiled down to campaign and media management rather than substance.

ON MY WAY SENATOR MCCAIN TO DONATE AND CAMPAIGN FOR YOU!
DEMOCRATS UNITED AGAINST OBAMA!
OH MY , I BET CNN WILL BE BREAKING OUT THE BUBBLY TO CELEBRATE!! THE MEDIA IS NO LONGER TRUSTWORTHY!!!
I am still writing Hillary in come November.
I wish Caroline Kennedy would retreat back into her private world and stay out of this presidential race.
Her family has done its thing. Buh-bye, Caroline.
it's a sad day for America for the most qualified to be pushed away. Anyhow, either it's unity ticket or i sit this election out.
Did no one get the memo?? This isn't news she lost already. Its over now its over then and it will continue to be.
REALITY CHECK!!!!
she going to run as a Independent
Friday?
After holding the Democratic Party hostage for over 3 days-
and bullying Obama to pick her????
a true show of her selfishness–
Get out NOW-be a woman we can be proud of–not a woman who is now setting a poor example to our daughters–
Congratulations for running a great race and doing the right thing. Hillary will have a place in history. Time to unite and fight for the future.
Obama not offering the VP spot to Clinton is just what we Clinton supporters would like for him to do. This way we can vote for McCain and he will not have to guess why he lost the election.
Republicans for Obama/Clinton 08!
Until last night I was begging to buy Obama/Hillary or Hillary/Obama bumper stickers. The dream ticket. But watching the speeches last night, where Obama utterly magnanimous in Victory, towards his opponent and Hilary, Defiant and backing her own cause, has left me with the thought that the best man should have won a long time ago.
How is it that someone of her caliber didn’t not want to acknowledge the moment. Let alone be so badly advised as to how to play the most important speech of her life. VP is Second Chair, that is not negotiable. and he almost seemed to be offering it to her. Alas now she can no longer be trusted and I would not be happy with her as VP anymore than I would be with Dick Cheney in that position. A sad end to an amazing race.
At least McCains speech was Humble (well kind off) "The imperfect servant " comment was genious.
Why are you bothering to report this now? How many times have we been told this before only to hear her deny it later? As much as I'd like to, I won't buy it until I actually hear it out of her own mouth.
I am one of those democrats who plans to vote for Mcain in November. Why? because of the disrespect the media and Obama supporters have shown her throughout this campaign. I will work hard for Mcain and I know lots more will too. She congratulated Obama last night what more do you want from her. She is going to step aside Friday .One more day. Then you can change your rude remarks and lies to Mcain–which is what I know you will do. ,but remember he didn't win on popular vote–and he won't this fall. The big wigs put him in just like they did George Bush. Why do they say "We the People" ? I don't see any difference in Us and communism. The big wigs choose.
A RESOUNDING YES!!! and I would admonish Obama NOT to offer her the VP slot so that, for the first time since they were old enough to vote, those born in 1962 and after will NOT have a moron (bush) or a clinton on the ticket...if he does offer it to her, serves two terms..and SHE decides to run and gets elected for TWO terms...hmmm..just do the math...those born in 1962 who turned 18 when Reagan ran in '80 will be eligible for early social security at 62 and NEVER had a Presidential election which did NOT have a moron (again...a bush) or a clinton...that is a sad thing in a democracy...I just want her to go away...do a Nixon (whose playbook she has obviously read..)..."You won't have Clinton's to kick around any more...((or, oops..perhaps Bill, in one of his dysfunctional rages, could do that for her...
GO Barack!
One step closer to President McCain!!
THANK GOD. LET'S PULL TOGETHER PEOPLE!
IT'S A NEW DAWN!!!!!!!!
she going to run as a Independent
I AM WATCHING THE NEW WHEN THE STORY BROKE, YES YES YES!!!! LET GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD WITH OBAMA AND THE GENERAL ELECTION.
dont believe anything till you see it,
her website is aksing for money and asking the 18 million to voice what they think....................
TO ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS THIS RACE IS NOW OVER AND WE HAVE A CLEAR WINNER, WE ALL WANT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. WE DON'T WANT TO GO THRU THE NEXT 4YRS OF BUSH POLICIES LET'S PUT OUR PETTY DIFFERENCES ASIDE AND UNITE AS A PARTY!!
Ok that's it. I will never vote for obama. God could not make me vote for him. Just not going to happen.
I'll be voting for John McCain. I believe this is a decent American who has this country's best interest at heart. And obama supporters and especially the blacks ones on these list,please.......I don't want to hear your fear crap.
John McCain will be alot better for this country than air head obama. The man is an empty suit who steals words from others mouths. Not a fresh thought in his head. The idiot doesn't deserve to president of anything.
If she wasn't going to take the fight to the convention, why not concede weeks or months ago when it was clear she could not win? She would have been in a better position to be VP. Instead, she allowed alot of mean spirited debate to occur between her supporters and Obama's supporters. This is all about her, and I hope Obama did not cut any deals with her.
Please stop talking about Clinton so much. Its about Obama. This is his moment. The lady in the pantsuit doesn't dictate anything.
It would be a BIG mistake to pick Clinton. I'm expecting her to finish her term as NY senator, lose the next time and pack her bags and head back to Arkansas with Billy in tow.
Good riddance.
Today, tomorrow or friday who cares
Senator Clinton did a well job! Most of her supports would want her to run independent. This would be a good chance for her supports to voice their opinion with superdelegates steering the party!
I will believe it when i see it. Watch Terry Mccauliffe come out friday morning talking about "We never said such a thing, this thing is going all the way to Denver" – Stranger things have happened!
WOOT !!
Finally thank God, some body got through to her. I believe if Hillary had continued on this no-win course, that would have seriously damaged her political career. She really had no choice.
Finally! I know that there is a lot of HRC supporters BUT I hate how they blast us and the news media saying we were unfair. Hey you know what? Back in January Obama wasn't even considered, people just kind of laughed at him. However much has changed AND HE HAS NOT ONCE:
1) mentioned watergate
2) mentioned Lewinski
3) mentioned the pardons at the end
He had a lot of fire power but he ran a clean campaign on the issues. He also got 18 million votes if you count what the caucuses had. Lets just unify and fight McCain. I have a Dad in the service and do not want him to Iraq again.
This has been a hard fought year.. Hillary has made some good points. She's had to deal with some baggage with Bill and his skeletons, but she's pulled together a strong base, which cannont be ignored. I hope that the democratic party pulls together under Obama, and the respectable party elders to put together the right platform with a healthy ticket.
Thank you Charles Rangel. Thank you Democratic members of Congress for strongly urging Clinton to end her campaign on Friday and endorse Sen. Obama.
Rangel was very upset with her for her lack of graciousness towards Sen. Obama last night, and it seems like others were very angry with her defiance as well. Since she is so mean-spirited and exercized little heart land judgment ast night, I am glad others stepped up to the plate to make sure she puts an end to her political games and do the right thing towards Sen. Obama, the Democratic party, and the American people.
Now let's come together as a unified party supporting Sen. Obama – our Democratic Presidential Nominee – on his way to becoming our 44th president!
It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !
McCain democrats are born. God help us.
McCain for 2008, Steven & Salt Lake City, Utah
I again will make my request.... Please.... remove yourselves from the human gene pool.... Much Thanks, your sacrafice could raise the worlds IQ level a point or even two... so take one for the team boys...
As to the topic at hand... Until I have visual and audio proff that she's dropping out... I will find it diffacult to believe.
We did it. We are sending a message to Washington that enough is enough. We want to try something new!! No more fighting...no more mudslinging...no more lying and cheating from our government.
We must end Cheney's policies!!!
Democrat 2008!!!
not soon enough
Joe, Pomona, California – you're too funny!!!!
Obama/Hillary for 2008,Obama will get Hillary,s 18million voters and when ever the Obama is around a clinton he will have extra secret service agents.Its an all win situation.
Are these the same sources who said she would end her campaign by last night? CNN, MSNBC, etc. have been beating the anti-Clinton drums for months. It's amazing that she still had 18 million voters loyal to her after the way the media has hounded her and the way Obama supporters (or Republicans pretending to be Obama supporters) have been so vicious with their accusations.
Those who are truly Clinton supporters would never, EVER, vote for McCain. That's a croc! He stands for everything we oppose so don't believe it when they claim to be McCain supporters. Same for Obama supporters who have said they would vote for McCain. They're Republicans posing as Democrats so don't fall for it. Obama and Clinton both support Democratic principles. So do their real supporters.
Dear "Puff Daddy",
She lost to a brother with a funny name from Chicago, and you think she should "save the nation" by running as an independant? ? Wow,. man, please tell me the name of your dealer! That must be some very good good stuff you're puffing on!
First I want to comment on this McCain for 08 comment. WE DON'T WANT ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH PRESIDENCY AND POLICIES. PERIOD. HE HAD A CHANCE IF HE WAS INDEPENDENT AS HE WAS IN 2000. NOW HE IS TOWING BUSH'S LINE AND BELIEVE ME I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY HARD EARNED MONEY ON A WAR THAT WAS A CON AND COOKED UP JOB, GIVE TAX BREAKS TO THOSE WHO DON'T NEED OR DESERVE IT, IGNORE NEEDS OF COMMON MAN (SUCH AS MEDICAL INSURANCE, DECENT EDUCATION) ETC.ETC.
Back to the subject I wanted to comment – I was sorry to see Sen. Clinton's performance yesterday. She was a spoiler of one of the greatest events that have happened in this country and most likely in this century. She was all for herself and instead of congratulating Obama and her supporters, she went on and on on trying to become a "proxy" President!! It was awful and altho I would like her to be VP, she seems to be bent on blowing her chances.
I will not believe it until she says she is quitting. Not suspending, not someone else saying she is quitting: only when Hillary Rodham Clintom says I am quitting the race.....only then will I believe it.
Clinton supporters I know that you are feeling a little down because Hilary did not secure the nomination but it's time for the democrats to unite. The reality is that Clinton and Obama are very similar when it comes to their ideologies and what they feel is best for us as a country. We have to get past our feelings for the candidates and pay more attention to their messages and what's in our best interest. You have to remember that McCain is more of Hilary's adversary than Obama ever was. You are doing Hilary and yourselves a big disservice if you vote for McCain or stay home. Let's unite and make this country better for us and our future generations.
In other news, the Japanese have conceded WWII.
Now she can be home and bake cookies..lol
All of the media personalities have been so pushy about this issue, and after listening to Obama (I'm a Hillary fan) talk about Hillary, VP, winning, etc. issues, I think he is sounding like someone wise enough to heal the wounds of not only the Democratic party but of the Democratic process. As Obama said, it is hard to drive so hard for 17-18 months and just screech to a sudden stop. I was thinking of voting for McCain if Hillary didn't get it, then I listened to McCain and said "No way!". Then I thought I may just not vote at all. But all of us need to start making a difference and the only way that happens is if a citizen votes. I am seriously considering voting for Senator Obama. He sure speaks with a lot more wisdom that the media give him credit. I'm listening.....
Thank you Charles Rangel. Thank you Democratic members of Congress for strongly urging Clinton to end her campaign on Friday and endorse Sen. Obama.
Rangel was very upset with her for her lack of graciousness towards Sen. Obama last night, and it seems like others were very angry with her defiance as well. Since she is so mean-spirited and exercized little heart and judgment last night, I am glad others stepped up to the plate to make sure she puts an end to her political games and do the right thing towards Sen. Obama, the Democratic party, and the American people.
Now let's come together as a unified party supporting Sen. Obama – our Democratic Presidential Nominee – on his way to becoming our 44th president!
It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !
Its to late . You are still a selfish sore loser. Spare us .
I'm sure that Sen. Clinton will do her best to see the Democrats return to power in November. On another subject, why in the world is that pea brained Lou Dobbs always on Sen. Obama's "case" and for non-issues most of the time. This evening it's the flag pin again! Is he simply envious of the Senator's superior intellect?
I'm a Barack Obama supporter, but please let's all be as gracious to Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama has been to her. That's what Barack wants. I am sure he will appoint her to a respected position in his administration. He is a man of integrity.
Just saw the guy from Mary Jones on TV and it seems to me there is still a lot of bitterness between supporters of Obama and Clinton.
Is she still in the race?
What a sad day. I guess now all the Obama people want to kiss and make up for our votes. NO WAY - What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find funny that Obama supporters are bragging. If you keep this up, do you actually think we are just going to join you? You all are idiots.
Tom. She knows that running as an independent is her own political suicide. She would have to drop out of the Dem party and might not even get reelected in NY. You might be delusional, but I asure you she isn't.
It will be interesting to have an intelligent President, amazing actually.
I think McCain is a good man, but unfortunately, he's not as bright as he once was. And the truth is that he wasn't a real mental stand-out in the past. I do however congratulate him on winning the GOP nomination. I just wonder though how lucid he will be with time.
We need a strong, intelligent President who cares about all of the people, and who is not quick to get involved in millitary conflict.
Gabe TX...So she ends her campaign with the Democratic Party? So what? It doesn't mean myself and millions of others won't be writing in her name on the ballot this fall
You mean a couple of hundred. This is the most stupidest thing. Instead of supporting a party, you are showing your bitterness. Let try to figure out how that helps the party. Morons.!!
TO ALL DEMOCRATS LET'S START THIS ALL OVER THE BLOGOSPHERE, YOU CAN EITHER SAY:
BITTER HILLARY SUPPORTER for all those whining spoilers
or
DECENT HILLARY SUPPORTER for all rational and decent voters that had Hillary as a first choice.
A clear difference for unity.
She should have made the move last night. She made a fool of herself by making it an "all about me" speech. Come on, history would have been made no matter who won, but do we really need a sore loser as a vice president.
Enjoy the short victory. Now he gets to play with the big boys. And are we going to have fun. By the time we get done with him he will be lucky to hold on to his Senate seat.
Granpa McCAin as you idiots call him will take him down in November.
McCain can go on vacation until November and we will do the work for him. Barak will lose big time to McCain. Too many patriots not enough of you idiots that can't' see what he represents.
Answer me this....
How could Hillary win as an Independent when she couldn't win against Obama???
Please enlighten me.
More people have voted for Obama and even more will vote for him in November.
She is really being FEMALE about this
a BIG SNIT
A SORE LOSER
Didn't see Gore act this way .. or anyone else
oh she was SOOOOO EMOTIONALLY WRAPPED UP IN THIS
she can't let go!
poor judgement – bad leadership
Finally, lets unite to beat McSame !!!!!
I hope Hillary runs as an independent. Obama cannot win. I don't know what our supposedly intelligent top Democrats are thinking unless they are secretly going for McCain. Obama cannot beat McCain. Obama will not get my vote. I either will not vote or will vote Republican for the first time.
After the way Hillary has been treated by members of her own party, she owes them NOTHING.
Did I hear Friday is the D-Day for Hillary. How graceful can that be? Boss Lady Pelosi gave an ultimatum, her donors defect to OBAMA. Hooray! that is what it takes if that is definite.
"We must work to have a Democrat in the White House come next year."
"I will work my heart out for Sen Obama if he is the nominee."
"It would be a grave mistake to vote for Sen McCain over Sen Obama."
– Hillary Clinton
Please, angry Hillary supporters, don't go against her words. I know you're upset that she lost, and rightfully so, but please, do what's right– Obama is about 2% different from Hillary when McCain is about 95% different from her. Don't hurt our country, our troops, our children just because you feel angry that Obama is the nominee. Please.
About time.
........Ok, Now tell America what your change is 0bama!
Good for you, Sen. Clinton. It is time for all democrats to unite behind Sen. Obama, our nominee and focus on the general election.
Hillary is just a self-absorbing, self-serving mess.
I will not believe it until it happens, but just in case it does. Great, now lets get to work and get the democratics back in office
Finally....
She is just suspending her campaign. Not ending it.
Time to come together and win in November. We can't sentence thousands of our young soldiers to death in Iraq simply to satisfy our personal frustration that our favorite candidate didn't win the nomination. That's what a vote for McCain would do.
Its about time! Hillary Clinton is a fighter but unfortunatley she will do anything to get herself in office. That includes dividing our party and then running as an independent. I think this is low of her and I think Obama has handled it with as much grace as possible.Tuesday night he complimented her and congraduated her on her victories but she didnt even acknowledge his. I think if she wants anything from Obama she better just concede out with grace with the little dignity she has. And even if she dose that she should not be the VP.
1st she should Fired Howard Wolfson, Lanny Davis and Terry McAuliffe, Did they got it WAY WRONG...
The whole bunch of them are the worst...
I watched Wolfson on the Today show this morning and I and thought is this man nuts? He was so beaten that he could not even say that Obama Won the race, They must have really been drinking the koolaid.
It's better late then never but she will lost my support.
Thank you Hillary!! Now let's unite, let's be a strong Party,let's beat the Republicans and let's take over the white house.
God Bless you Hillary and Senator Obama
We love you !!
There are those of us that will never vote for Obama, now his supporters are trying to be so gracious but we see what is really behind this. He can't win without her 18 million supporters.
Goodbye Democratic (Lunatic) Party. I will be voting McCain in November. I guess nowadays, you really need NO Qualifications to become president. Look who he picks to chose VP- Caroline Kennedy. What qualifications does she have to pick a VP?.And they are criticizing Clinton for just being a First Lady before running. What has Caroline Kennedy done for the American People? Write a book?. do some charity and that's it?. oh please....... Colin Powell is the black man I want for President and Condi Rice for VP!!!!
I voted for Dukakis in my first election....
I would've voted for any Democratic presidential candidate in Nov.
regardless of whoever is would be
Let's Unite!!!!!
Obama 08
I think we should be careful. Hillary has a very large and powerful base now. And we need to respect that and bring healing to the party.
How nice of Presidential Candiate Obama. Who has been nothing but a gentlemen to Hillary. It's nice that still as defiant she is in conceding that you are so graceful towards her. She still seems like a monster! LOL
THATS ABOUT TIME HILLARY
About time!!!!!
I voted for Hillary!!!
why would my comment be waiting for moderation? Just take out the last sentence. I can't imagine what would be offensive about what i wrote. Don't print this–obviously Thank You
Oh my god please give me a break with all lets get together talk. You hypricrits.
all of you, I am an obama supporter, this is a difficult thing to do for hillary clinton. Give her space and time. She really cares about this country and was emotionally tied to this race. its not an easy thing to let go when you put your all into something. Stop speculating....she will drop out, just give her space so she can come to terms with it. She deserves that.
Why not Caroline Kennedy for vice president?
I believe it when I really see her leaving... until then tuff to believe Clinton anything.
Peace! Unity! Progress!
Well, I am sure it will maybe make the media happy if she hurries up and does this, for crying out loud they want blood from this women I think. You, the media got your way and your candidate of choice the nomination, now lay off of Hillary. All your reporters had nothing but good to say about Obama and just nothing postive to say about Hillary through this entire primary. If anything I think all of you owe Hillary an apology for the damage you did to her campaign.
If you expect the Clintons to be civil, be civil to them.
I will write a book about the terminology used by the media to adress Hillary Clinton and her family during this race.
An adjective, in grammar, is a word whose main syntactic role is to modify a noun or pronoun (called the adjective's head), giving more information about to what the noun or pronoun refers.
Analyse your adjectives and you will see yourself.
What a shame. POTUS is a job that should be above affirmative action. If a leading Clinton fundraiser (and someone who HAD HELPED THEM PURCHASE THEIR HOME) had just been found guilty of 16 counts of corruption, the media would be going nuts. Only the dems could blow what should have been a slam dunk year.
Its time and history has been made
to Charlene–she can't run as an independent she's over 20 million in debt–people won't put more money into a losing situation
I wouldn't be surprised to see her run as an independent...I hope she doesn't though since she wants to make sure that McCain doesn't get into the White House....she should know that she will definitely be the "spoiler" that allows that to happen..........
It is a great campaign and it is time for all the democrats to unite and get behind the presumed nominee.
obama is absolutely unfit to be president of this great country.
I will not write Hillary's name in because I've heard talk about it might be counted for obama in some states.
I will vote for the best man left standing and that is a true American – John McCain. This man is not Bush and he will not harm this country. I believe obama will destroy America.
What other choice does she have? Personally, I think she ran a tough campaign and deserves some credit.
Barack needs to take his time reaching a decision on the VP. I hope he considers Wes Clark or Governor Kaine of Virginia.
This is good. She was looking bad as the hours went forward.
The Clintons will not give up his personal matters regarding the Clinton Library.
They will sheeply will go away because of their not wanting to disclose the donor list.
This former Republican and current Independent who would have voted for McCain if Hillary had won, will gladly support Obama, both at the polls and from my wallet. He will be my first Democratic pick in my 25 years of voting! However if Obama makes the mistake of adding Hillary to the ticket I will not be voting this year!
Obama please make a wise choice not one you feel forced into.
hillary for vp
Amen, Fred from Atlanta, Amen!
We're gonna miss you all at the President Obama Innaguaration ceremony/celebration come January 2009! It's going to be one hell of a party literally and figuratively speaking!
Now I can probably focus on my work and not the election so much. Dangit!
To the person that posted at 7;38pm
Of course her website is asking for money. She is 20 MILLION dollars in debt!!!
It is time to UNITE and take the White House back!
Obama '08
Her speech the other night was very disappointing and she had the nerve too talk about herself instead of giving Barack Obama the praise he should have received for winning... He won it fair and square..I hope you do not have the nerve to request to be his VP, because you do not have the honesty that is required for the position..
After reading all the negative comments, will I vote for Obama (Clinton supporter here)? No way!
Breaking News, Hillary just conceded, yea!
By Hillary
At this point I feel completely alienated by the whole nomination process. Caucuses are a joke for starters. The way in which delegates are distributed makes absolutely no sense. Why not have a winner-take-all like we do in November? The Republicans do it and you know why?...IT MAKES SENSE!! Throw in the mess we made out of Florida and Michigan and the democratic party looks incompetent to say the least. As a New Jersian I know full well Obama will carry my state no matter what (we lean just about as far to the left as you can get), however, neighbor Pennsylvania is going to be much more difficult for him to net. Oh yeh, I also forgot about Ohio, West Virginia, Michigan, etc....states Clinton would have carried. Through our bumbling nomination process we chose the weaker of the two candidates for the general election and for that I hope the democratic party is taught a lesson. Kerry in '04? Obama in '08? Maybe in '12 we can actually get it right....
Im sad......I am a hillary supporter and I would love to give my support to Obama but most of you that are for obama are such haters and so disrespectful. I know you dont even care for my thoughts. Please for the love of god he won, you got what you want. Can you all please stop trashing the woman!!!!
HILLARY, WE ARE PROUD OF YOU
Dropping out....not conceding! Yes I believe she will leave the Democratic Party BUT I also believe that she will run as an Independent and will ask those who want to change the ' flawed' Democratic Party to follow her.
Mrs. Clinton has opened the door for females across the country including my new born grand daughter, however much I have wanted and waited for a female president, she is the wrong one for this time.
She would not be good for the country with the aggressive attitude and take no prisoners way of doing of things. Besides the obivious fact of how poorly she ran her campaign, what would she do the counrty?
I am proud of Mr. Obama, and have been a strong supporter of his from day one........OBAMA 08
GO MCCAIN!!!!!!
I AM PISSED OFF AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER
OBAMAMANICAS
ITS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I be interested to know what health coverage will those employees get that worked 24/7 during the marathon campaigne. I mean what will they get after they are leaving the campaigne.
To Obama supportor:
Obama will be defeated by McCain by landslide in Nov.
To Hillary supportor:
Vote for McCain!
I am Hillary Supportor.
Lets be civil and stop being so nasty to each other.I ,an Omaba supporter,want to congratulate Hillary...she fought until the end..now lets all get together(Obama's and Hillary's supporters) and get the republicans out of the white house!!!
DEMOCRATS 08!!
OBAMA 08!!!
Hillary , listen hun. We know it hurts. But rather than being a spoiled brat and sobbing why?????!!!!!!! Hold your head up , and prove to us the character that you claimed to have when you where trash mouthing the future President. Oh.... and now you wanna be the Vice Pres .....WHY ? So we can have Bill run the White House for a Thrid term . Could have imagined the arguements they would have had. Secret Service would be breaking them up everyday. Plus with her husbands lust for other women she would have keep one eye on Bill and the other on the Bill.
Hillary did not end it gracefully. Quite the opposite.
The absence of any congratulatory remarks on Tuesday night and not conceding the contest displayed some psychological issue or denial that Hillary possesses.
Now, why wait til Friday. Why not Thursday. Delaying this concession by 48 hours makes no sense. People will remember this. It will hurt her in the future.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It's over...
I voted for Bill Clinton now it's time for Barack to lead this country you will not be forgotten.
Obama 08!!!
enough with all this fighting my son is in the war and my family needs for him to come....PLEASE STOP IT
She ran an amazing campaign, but Obama is the rightful victor. I myself am I Clinton supporter but I will give my full support to Obama. I don't want another 4 years of disaster and failure from McCain that Bush has already caused. We must all unite now and take down McCain. For those who will choose McCain because Hillary didn't win didn't win I have to say this: Do not make the wrong choice, stop and ask yourself this: What do I really want? Do I want a president who will just continue the same failed policies that Bush has imposed, or a president who will change Washington and help us get back on the right track. McCain will only make things worse than they are now, but Obama will try to fix things, so don't make the wrong choice. As for Hillary i say best of luck and your campaign was phenomenal.
Obama '08
THANK YOU LORD !!!
FINALLY !!! LETS COME TOGETHER TO BEAT INSANE MCCAIN !!! His direction is the wrong direction for this country.
OBAMA all the way in 2008
It is a sad day for America .
To Obama supportor:
Obama will be defeated by McCain by landslide in Nov.
To Hillary supportor: Vote for McCain!
I am Hillary Supportor.
You have to think that Obama's supporters would be a little nicer to Hillary's supporters on here since he would need us in November to win. Instead of insulting her and us they should be more respectful, if you want to unite the party.
Why won't CNN accept my comments?
The Democrat party to widely divided for Obama to reunite it for the general election. The very aggressive campaign by a single-minded Clinton has polarized her voters AGAINST Obama.
After months of telling the American public that he is not electable, inexperienced, has an incomplete healthcare plan, is weak on foreign policy and cannot win the blue collar vote, HOW CAN SHE HONESTLY TURN HER POSITIONS AROUND AND NOW TELL EVERYONE THAT HE CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER???
Not all supporters of Obama are against Clinton.
I support her in the VP slot.
Plus, some of th supposed "Obama" supporters are republicans in sheeps clothing.
How do you spell ego??????C L I N T O N
The Democratic party will not be united in November. Moderate Democrats will be voting for John McCain, which will give him the presidency. The liberal wing of the party will have, once again, cost Democrats the White House.
Now Hillary, go on a long vacation with your daughter, and leave Bill at home, and wait for his 3:00 am phone call. God Bless American and Obama.
Stop trashing her now. Her supporters are hurt, disapointed and angry. They don't need salt in their wounds. How does this help Obama? How does this unite us? Hillary is now doing the best thing.That is what matters now. Maybe if she is treated with respect things will go easier for all. Obama asked this of us. If you support him be civil, please.
Suspend is the Key word. She still needs to raises to $20-30 million .
She will not be gracious, whatever that means,.
Being a woman and a feminist, its sad for me to notice that whenever hillary appeared on the screen, particularly in the past 3 months, i had to change the channel. The aggression, pettiness, sense of entitlement, opportunism she displayed and the last night speech crowned it all for its utter lack of graciousness contributed to it. I realized that i was doing it for bush earlier.
That she was contesting from democratic party is an oxymoron. There was nothing democratic in the way she went about throughout.
Senator Clinton and Supporters: Hillary you have run an incredible campaign and I respect your efforts towards the presidency and your historic position in American history. Though I am a staunch Obama supporter, I understand and emphathize with your supporters who wanted to have you as the Democratic nominee. We are ALL democrats, whether we support Senator Obama or Senator Clinton and we all are connected by the common threads of core democratic principles, which Senator Obama will competently and proudly develop into solid policy for America's future. Losing the nomination is not easy, but know that you fought hard and well. Now is no time for Hillary's supporters to get nasty and to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Know WHO you are; know who WE are as a democratic family. Let what binds us be stronger than that which divides us and let's win in November!! Much love.
Thank God she is not going to be president nor VP!
Last night was the final straw for me!
So much for her being a fighter! She blew it!
Like I have said before I vote for the best QUALIFIED candidate not the PARTY so I guess I will be voting for John McCain. It's too bad she was(IS) the best candidate. I will enjoy watching the DEMS go down in flames in November.
While we've been at odds with each other within the party, the rest of America has been watching. They've been watching Hillary behave like a spoiled brat, and this is going to be a HUGE burden for Obama's campaign.
Richardson will make an excellent VP. He will be an excellent ally in the Latino communities. He is experienced in world affairs, well rounded, and simply a great human being.
Obama / Richardson 2008.
Why is it necessary to announce it? For the love of God, JUST DO IT so all good Democrats, Obamacans, and Indies wanting change can get busy working on the general.
To Hillary
Very Good Decision
We love you
God never let you down
You are in our heart but your votes will go to Mc Cain
God Bless you
To all those, who don't want to unite the party and only continue your stupid and baseless divisiveness: Go ahead. Encourage her to run as any thing she wants. My question to you all is that what would you say and do if you wake up on 1/21/09 after President-elect Obama has been sworn in as President the day before and she is still running as whatever.
Now you all can vote 4 McCain...just be sure about his running mate. When he dies in office and ultra conservative he puts in office with him requires you to take a virginaty test , and if you fail you get flogged, you'll be happy. Real happy....maybe the judge will tie you to a chair and if it floats you're a wiich and if it don't you were faithful......you'll B real happy.
We Hillary supporters are voting for Obama; not these few hateful supporters of him who post hate comments here.
Or are they Republicans on Rush Limbaugh operation chaos?
To all you Clinton people: How is she going to finance a campaign as an Independent. Some quote her deby as almost $40 MILLION dollars.
She had way more money at the beginning if the campaign and she literally threw it away because she thought she would win by Super Tuesday.
Do the math...Obama did not spend 4 times as much when you add it all up and include the debt. She has no bargaining chips as she needs him to help her raise money to pay off the bills she has in her ads slamming him!!
You obama supporters are such a sad lot. Our cities are in ruin because we have monkies running things and stealing all they can and now you want to put the biggest monkey,and his spouse, in the White House. AND you now want Hillary's supporters to help you do this after calling her and her supporters everything in the book. Well. read my lips,FU. I'm gladly voting for John McCain and I hope others will follow.
She is a leader of our democratic party and she has no oher options. she will chair the democratic national committe for sometimes. we have to respect her as a laeader of our party. lets forget the primary season. look forward not backward.
Not one day too soon. And maybe this time she will concede with "grace" and focus on helping Obama win the nomination in November. And NOT demand to be on the ticket.
As someone who has donated twice to Obama this primary season, I am witholding further donations until I can be sure that Clinton is not the VP pick. I will never vote for a ticket with Hillary on it.
IF NOT HILLARY, THEN LETS GO MCCAIN!!! WOOOHOOO!
The Domocratic party betrayed the Clintons and therefore Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain.
Unite? No thank you nasty Obama supporters, I will not support Obama - McCain will be the next president.
Thank goodness!
I was so saddened to see Hillary's non-concession speech last night. To see just how out of touch with reality she is just compare both candidate's campaign websites for today: Obama's features today's headlines from major U.S. newpapers proclaiming him the nominee. Hillary's makes no mention of last night primary's or his win. Her latest 'news' is from last weekend bragging of her win in Puerto Rico...so pathetic. If she won would she have governed with the same selective reality?
I supported Hillary Clinton but will NEVER support or vote for Obama. I have voted Democrat for the last 17 years but will vote for McCain this fall. I just donated to McCain's campaign and will actively support him.
I wish she would run as an Independent.
Read these and all the other blogs during this campaign from the Obama supporters. This hatred and nastiness from them is exactly what makes all others very careful and reluctant to back him even if we do want the Dems back in the White House.
Is this what we can expect from the people in this country if Obama gets elected. Hatred, rudeness and nastiness. That is not change but more of the same compounded. This should make all people sit back and wonder what are you doing and what type of people are you becoming and is that what you really want for this country.
I have been so disgusted with the people on these blogs all these months from people of both sides but especially from the Obama supporters as I have never in my long life time seen such hatred spewed the way it has been. Very worrisome and troubling.
Then we will hear more choruses of "I will vote for McCain". So mature and level headed of Clinton supporters. Also, I will believe it when I hear it from Clinton's mouth that she will concede.
