CNN

I mean lets think about this lol Obama has more pledged delegates and supers but all the rest of the uncommitted supers aren't supporting a candidate even tho Obama is the "presumptive nominee" lol and rumors are that as soon as Hillary drops out Obama is going to reinstate all Florida and Michigan delegates so is that the kinda candidate we want to run our party and maybe white house...... So are a dedicated CLINTONITE i will be voting for Mccain in the fall so go MCCBUSH

The democratic party is full of corruption. I'm not voting democrat this year! I hope Hillary decides to go Independent!!!!

Being in the Senate for 2 years does not give you experience to be a president.

hillary supporter will not vote 4 obama in nov. they did her dirty and they deserve 2 pay come nov.obama will not win without hillary's supporters.mccain in nov......bush congradulated obama,cause he know the republicans will keep the white house 4, 4 more yrs.i hope hillary takes 2 the convention, those democrat leaders need to focus on other things that r more important than pushing hillary out. media sure didn't help either. mccain o8...........

There you have it, the solution to my problem. Hillary will be the write in on my ballot. If that is not an option, then I guess I will cross party lines to vote Republican. Everyone seems to be worried about whether we will lose Republicans who crossed party line in the primaries to vote Democrat, well what about Democrats who will cross over in November. I believe Republicans crossed in the primaries because McCain had their nomination and they voted for Obama because they knew he was the weaker candidate.
And as far as the superdelegates, they do not have to say who they support yet. Maybe they are just waiting to see how much blood McCain draws when he challenges Obama. And now Michelle is fair game too. I believe Kerry's wife lost it for him. Lets see how Michelle stands up.

These 145 superdelegates want to play with people's choice?
They probably want to lobby for Hillary to be VP...but that wont happen
To all the remaining 145 or so Superdumbs..now accept Obama as your leader.
General Elections are getting closer.
OBAMA / AL GORE 2008

The Democratic Party is not democatic at all – 1st they say, the superdelegates should back the person with the most popular vote or the winning nominee of their states – they the Press and the DNC pressurize them to do otherwise – so when the popular votes count change – they want the superdelegates to come out to push Hillary out!

SHAME ON YOU – CNN AND THE DNC. Hillary supporters – go vote McCain – I think he is the lesser of the 2 evils (mcCain vs Obama)

Wow so many people want to drag this own and declare they won't vote for him? If you look closely, he has a little more people who may not vote for her.
That may stun you, but he made it through the stalemate and won the nomination. He gives her respect, she gives nothing but nastiness. It's like running against 2 McCains with Bill thrown in. I guess that means he can win it without so many sour grapes people. If the situation was reversed, I would have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary. We can't afford 4 more years of McCain/bush. Maybe you can, but the rest of America can't!

Hillary's supporters, whom I do admire for their loyalty and beliefs, should realize that within a very few days that Obama is going to be well over the magic 2118 committed delegates number and that this is not going to come down to trying to convince a handful of delegates to switch back to Hillary.

Obama's count is now up to 2158. Even if he gets only half of the uncommitted super delegates, that is going to take him to 2230, which is 112 more than he needs. Odds are that he will have at least 2250, and perhaps 2300, by this weekend.

Given that the delegates have already heard all of Hillary's arguments to vote for her, there is no chance of getting 150 or more of them to switch now. For one thing it would make the Democrat Party look ridiculous. The reality is that the nomination is secured.

They are not asking them to support him, they asking to to come out and declare for somebody. Nothing in that articel suggest that they are asking them support him. However, he is the nominee and it is time to get behind him and push foward to a victory in November against McBush..I mean McCain. I know Hilliary losing is a shock to many, but that competition and someone has to loose. We need put the hard feelings aside and think about the good of the nation and the democratic party. If you 4 more year of struggling and hardship then you vote McCain, if not stop thinking about yourself and think about what best for theis counrty and your families. Besides there is not much difference between the prposed policies of both Hillary and Barack.

It is clear to me that some of you all just don't get it.
IT IS OVER FOR HILLARY.
You can write in her name, she won't win, it might cost Obama, but in the end, it will only hurt Hillary and the country.
She will then attempt to come back in 2012 and re-run where everyone that bore witness to her reckless and hurtfull actions will not only not vote for her, but make her out to be the HILL BILLIE that she is!

I agree with Ari, that it is a shame when the President Bush congratulates Obama, but Hillary denies him closure.

Last night I saw Hillary only looking out for herself. She is not showing that she values our country. She is only looking out for the money she lent her self for her campaign and her special favors for the lobbyist that contributed to her campaign.

The sad thing is that she is trying to use 18,000,000 Americans as an excuse to keep playing her self centered game.

The people chanted yesterday “Yes She Can”…She Can. Not, Yes WE can. There is a big difference.

Her actions speak louder than her words.

there's a scene early in Monty Python & the Holy Grail where King Arthur fights the black knight. Arthur chops off one of the knight's arms, kneels to give thanks for his victory but is attacked from behind by the knight with his good arm proclaiming "it's just a flesh wound". Arthur then proceeds to chop the knight's other arm off yet the knight insists on fighting on (death by biting or something like that). a now visibly annoyed Arthur then proceeds to cut both of the knight's legs off at which point the black knight surveys his now limbless torso and proclaims: "O.K., we'll call it a draw!"

hmm... something vaguely familiar about that scene...

Here comes the Super-Dems.

Better Late than Never.

Of course they need to come off the fence. Anybody can see that to unify the party, there needs to be consensus. Sitting on the fence does not build consensus.

And for all the Hillary fans saying they will vote for McCain in November, practice these words: "The Iraq War is the right war. The Iraq War is what America needs right now." Say those words repeatedly and ponder how good they feel as you plan to cast for McCain, who feels the same way.

The leaders of the senate and the house have no back bone. They expect all the other super delegates to decide and endorse but they themselves have not decided who they are supporting. Be a leader and make an example. Why are they the leaders of the party in the house and senate when they can't make tough choices under pressure. Even after Obama is the presumptive nominee they are still sitting on the wall like a cat. Shame on them.

"Campaign of hate"? Did I read that right? You're blaming the DNC for enforcing its rules, instead of blaming your state officials for violating them? You support Harold Ickes when he encouraged the DNC to uphold their rules, but flip-flopped when his candidate was losing?

The party was obviously never a priority for many of you, which is part of the problem to begin with. Clinton supporters are demanding Obama be forced by the DNC to put her on the ticket, and Obama supporters are demanding the remaining delegates endorse a candidate now (some of them anyway).

Support your party; whoever winds up in the Whitehouse is going to ensure a severe shift from current exectutive branch decisions. Why would you vote for a candidate that violates your beliefs to begin with out of spite? It's childish and ignorant.

It was a historic vote, no matter which of the two candidates won. It was obvious with Clinton's lack of delegates (and even states won) that she was never really the frontrunner. Those comparing it to an actual November election need to remember this is not a November election; it's a primary to determine who the candidate will be. Somewhere along the line many of you forgot that tiny, insignificant fact.

I am a Democrat; I support my candidate, and the candidate selected by both the people of this country and the delegates. Do not spout cheating, slander and "campaign of hate" because your candidate lost. Unify, so that we can inject a new party and some new blood into the Whitehouse and stop this childish behavior.

- C.O.

Obama the Giant slayer

Let's see now. Let's say I'm a Hillary supporter and I now have to decide how to cast my ballot in November. I can cast it for the candidate with whom Hillary shares about 95% or more of the same political position, or I can vote for the candidate with whom Hillary agrees about 25% of the time.

Hmmm ... that's a toughie. To go with my own party and the 95% of my own votes or to go with Bush's party and 25% of my own votes.

They should get off the fence now that it's over. He won. Now on to VP. The one thing he doesn't need is Hillary! He beat Bill, Hillary and Chalse, Her huge war fund, name recognition, political machine, endorsments, labor union orginizations, Bills better years, super delegates, the female and elderly vote. He did it by getting people to know him, not by media or nasty campaign spin. he has endured all the attacks they could muster and still won. He can win without her and frankly, why would he have Hillary and Bill on the ticket? Bill is such a liability when speaking, he would spend most of his time cleaning up after him. She thinks this is hers so bad, she would forget she's running as VP! No they bring a lot of votes but also a lot of baggage! We don't need it!

If I ever here the Clinton name again it will be too soon!

I am a strtong Democrat but no way will I vote Democrat again. I have been voting Democrat for 56 years. I think the DNC has ruined the Party and I no longer want to be a part of it.

Forget the superdelegates.....they are not all that bright to begin with. Pelosi and Reid should be using their political weight to get Hillary off the stage and back under her rock.

Only thing worse than Hillary is her whiney supporters.

Its over already... move on and complain about something else.

Obama should chose someone else for VP. Who needs Billary waiting around every corner.

YES.
It is critical to send a clear message to Hillary that she needs to get to work campaigning for the Presumed Nominee now, enthusiastically and WITHOUT PRECONDITION.
That is the only way to prove without doubt that she is putting the Democratic Party and America ahead of self.

While Obama's win is historical moment for America and the western world, there is something sad about the side show engaged by the Clintons and in their pursuit of power even in the VP slot.

Hillary Clinton, the so called champion of civil right for all has missed to aknowledge a historical moment in American history by failing to simply the achievement of Obama by reaching the 2118. she did not need to concede to acknowledge history in the making. Hillary will be remember for her denial of the historic win of Obama.

she is a great leader who clearly fails to lead when it mattered; last night she had an opportunity to unite the party. Obama's win is symbolic of all that is possible in America for not just minorities, but also for women. Even America is open to nominating and electing an African American, surely that advances the need to also shatter the gender cealing.

I am saddened and disappointed in the Clintons.

It's too bad that Sen. Clinton missed her chance last night to match Sen. Obama's graciousness. While stating all the great things she wants for this country, it would have been easy - and true - to say that now the best way to accomplish those things is to come together and ensure that Sen. Obama is elected. Apparently she is trying to position herself to negotiate an appropriate role in the new administration, and to bring her supporters along with her. These are both good objectives. Clinton has knowledge, experience, and political savvy that will be very valuable. But the reality is that she has lost the race for the nomination, and her failure to clearly acknowledge that makes her look like a potential spoiler. I can't imagine what her incentive is to behave in this way, and I hope she will take a different tack very soon. Getting the remaining superdelegates off the fence and into Obama's count may help with the reality therapy she needs.

I think they are waiting for the O'Bomb to drop.

We conservative Democrats won't vote for the most liberal member of the Senate for President under ANY circumstance. This will be my eighth time to vote for President and I have only voted for the Democratic nominee twice. A moderate Republican is a far better choice than another McGovern/Carter/Dukakis/Kerry Democrat. Now, when political news comes on/ or commercials I change the channel. We are going to vote early (McCain(after all, McCain is a great American) followed by a straight Democratic ballot) and take a leisurely bus and train vacation through Mexico late October early November. Then on November 6, clock in, go to work, buy groceries,pay bills. Life goes on....

Obama can't win and they know it. Just another useless election for the Democrats. The media created and made Obama but the voters won't go for it.

I am really dissapointed with the DEM party. First by stripping the delegates to in FL and Michigan and now for being such wuss and not casting their support. I am a die hard Hillary Fan and the only way I may vote for Obama is if she becomes her VP, and even so I am so upset for this "pop culture" country who are just going for superficial speeches and image rather by going for substance. I am thinking of becoming an independent, or vote for McCain or maybe not cast a vote a all and not be part of this circus.

Her next move? Shouldn't that involve returning to her full-time job representing the people of New York in the U.S. Senate? Clinton fought and lost. Time to turn the page.

Obama would have to be out of his mind to choose Clinton to be his running mate. Imagine the newly appointed CEO of a company choosing the person who came in second for the job to be his second-in-command. He'll always have to watch his back, wondering when the undermining starts by the person who thinks they were entitled to the job in the first place. Add in the loose cannon of Bill Clinton and Obama would spend none of his time running and all of his time dealing with the latest gaffe, misstep or tirade.

He should pick someone like Jim Webb of Virginia.

Superdelegates Barak Obama won in case you are so out of touch you didn't even realize. It is over for Hillary no need to fear her vindictiveness. You now can endorse the futur President.

Hillary is ahead in the popular vote? According to what factual evidence? I love my candidate, but she lost fair and square. She even got awarded delegates from Michigan when Obama WASN'T ON THE TICKET. Even I thought that was a little unfair. As a Clinton supporter, some of my peers concern me. What are you going by except bitterness. GROW UP and realize that this isn't about which popular clique you're with, ITS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY! And truth be told, if McCain/ George Bush III gets into power, we probably won't have one anymore. Obama and Clinton are almost identical in policies, I ask you all who are about you bite off your noses to spite your face. WHICH OF McCAIN'S POLICIES DO YOU AGREE WITH? WHICH ONES!

I believe that it's time for Clinton to step aside. The numbers are in and she has lost. Not conceding the race last night was bad form. If she want to be Obama's running mate, she needs to act professional.

If you really are a dem and you want to see this country move in the correct/better direction, then you should support Obama. the policy differences between Obama and Clinton are slim to none. Senator Obama's speech last night was all about what is best for America. His heart is for this country. Clinton supporters need to really think hard, can you really afford four more years of inflation, high gas prices, foreclosures, job losses, etc. Not to mention four to eight years more of death and destruction in Iraq. I understand your dissappointment about Clinton's loss, but do NOT throw the country under the bus and vote for McCain out of spite. It makes no sense.

Maybe they dont want to support him..and are waiting to see if anything is coming out at the convention...or any skeletons in OB closest fall out.

If technically, superdelegates can wait until the convention and can change their mind at any time, then in all reality, Obama has not won at all (he is only the presumptive nominee) and Clinton knows that. Superdelegates can all change their mind between now and then and she is just waiting for him to take the wrong step and they all go swarming back to her in August. The problem is with the DNC primary process.

I think you should let Senator Clinton make up her own mind. Hopefully she will take it on to the convention and let all you
backstabbers take your medicine in public! The Democrats have
treated her like the Republicans treated Al Gore. The only difference
is Senator Clinton is one of your own–a snake don't crawl that low!

yeah, clinton needs to back off. i used to support her I used to think she was different. but throughout this campaign she has demonstrated lack of ethics, honesty and diplomacy. now i see her as a litte 4 year old who cries and yells whenever she doesnt have things her way.. my respect is gone..
OBAMA 08

I'm convinced that a majority of "If not Hillary, then McCain- never Obama" people on here are part of Operation Chaos. There cannot seriously be this many brain dead people in the country, let alone on one website.

Senator Hillary clinton need not be pressured into quiting. The DNC need not pressure Super-Dels right? Well, then I guess Obama need not be pressured into choosing Hillary as a running mate. After all, she doesn't want to concede so that we can move forward. So then move around her and drive on. There are plenty of other excellent candidates out there besides afit-throwing, 12 going on 61 year old for VP candidate.

I agree! Check to see if your state allows write ins.

Hillary 08!!!!

writehillaryin.com

It's obvious that the Democratic party and media had hi-jacked this campaign from the beginning. Obama never has given a clear cut description of what "Change" he will make. The slow bleeding method of Superdelegates declaring their undying love for Obama after huge Clinton victories is just one more article of proof that the party had their preference from the beginning. I agree with prabir, the same people who cried foul in 2000 when Bush won on a technicality (Electoral votes) are just fine with Obama getting the nomination despite the lack of popular votes. I always thought they were a party of principle and not technicality. I guess to many of them- The ends justify the means! I am sick to my stomach!!!

For those of you considering giving your vote to McCain out of spite...please consider the consequences of a John McCain presidency. Think about the impact of that every day between now and November and really ask yourself if holding on to resentment that your candidate lost is worth it.

the super delegates that are still undeclared.....screw them.... its clear they are not obama supporters.....

cannot help but condemn CNN for their coverage of last night's historic nomination. It was so thoughtless I had to turn to MSNBC! who I never watch. But for your readers and America you need to know that in Canada Hillary was on the second page; Obama on the last page. Hillary's positive story was on our national television station for 20 minutes; Obama for 1 minute. Hillary is seen, during the last 1/4 of the campaign, as the BEST president; not Obama. America needed to heal its history; but with Obama it cannot heal its future. China and India are the voices of the future.

Go on Obama supporters. You keep beating up on Hillary! Her supporters will just love him and they will vote for him!

Stay in Hillary! You and your supporters have been called all sorts of names and disrespected. Let's show them just how much they need us now!

Obama has a track record of a scandal a second. Isn't it more important to select the best nominee during the Democratic convention, as the rules provide? Why rush for a pretense of unity when truth withstands the test of time? Remember the words of the RULES the committee - if we don't follow the rules, we will have chaos.

That woman has no respect. It would be a grave mistake for Obama to pick as as running mate. There are good people out there that are more polite and intelligent than Hillary.

Obama/ 08

Josh, Hillary is no god.
WE appreciate her but not for VP. The nomination didn't come with a burden, and a old baggage.

Hillary needs to think about her legacy and realize that she doesn't own her supporters. They belong to the party. They are free to decide on their own. Remember the operation chaos...a lot of republicains

This is a new day, if we are true democrats, for the sake of the party, let's move on and rally behind the nominee.

The superdegelates shouldn't choose until Obama chooses Hillary for VP.

Clinton destroyed herself. Enough with the vast left-wing, right-wing conspiracy theories! And she should NOT be the VP choice. Too divisive, to disrespectful of Democratic nominee and the next president of the United States, Sen. Barack Obama.
Billary, please find the NEAREST exit.

Go for Obama so her supporters can whine and vote for McCain. Sore and ungracious losrs. She fought a good fight and loss, get over it.

If any uncommitted Democratic super delegates wants to give a chance of victory to John McCain, all he/she has to do is to commit to Barack Obama.

John McCain will be soooooo happy!!

Respect the rules of democracy..... Then it easier to accept what happened. Me I am happy Cheers...

Reid and Pelosi aren't doing their party any favors by uniting them. I think they should just shut up already or both of them will be out of jobs if they lose this election for the Dems. with wanting their 2 min. of authority.

??? yes make a decision, all of you including Donna Brazile

Emma:

Wexler is a better choice that Clinton!

Democrats in 2000: Every vote should count!
Democrats in 2007: We'll decide our candidate in August!
Democrats in 2007: FL and MI don't count!
Democrats in 2008: FL and MI only count half, and MI will vote as we say!
Democrats in 2008: August is too far away, decide now!
Democrats on June 3rd, 2008: Who cares about SD and MT, we'll pick whoever we want and we don't care what the voters have to say.

It is not cnn era; it is youtube era.
In the earlier years, the television media go after only the winning candidates. The other candidates have no other go but quit. Not anymore. Now the candidate broadcast themselves in the you tube. They are in constant touch with the people through their web site. Money continues to flow through the contributions in the web sites.

So Hillary's next move will be:
don't waste a single day; start collecting the signatures; get Hillary's name in the ballot papers of all the 50 states. Let us ask the people directly who is the President of United States of America.

I believe the media caused all the frenzy and got her knocked out. What a pity.

"This party is starting to disturb me. Why are they asking them to come out and support him. Why aren't they just coming out on their own."
– Party leaders are asking superdelegates to CHOSE a candidate. Hence the word PREFERENCE. Not to support obama.

people who claim that they will vote for Mccain since Hillary lost are not true democrats. You should suppor the party nominee. Not vote for the other party simply because you dislike the nominee. The guy won fair and square and has brought a newfound interest into politics. I never used to watch CNN or the debates until this primary season.

Thanks CNN for posting this!

Its not about Obama and Hillary. Now we have to think about American people. If Hillary is not on the ticket we will loose the White house. We do not want another 4 years of Republican Administration. We want a democrat in white house period. The one and only way it can happen is both of them being on the ticket. If there is a third person on ticket its 100% we will loose the white house for Republicans.

We American people want democrats to take the white house. We need this badly. I wish, hope and pary this dream ticket will happen. This is the only ticket by which saves the American people and ensure the white house.

Thanks a Bunch CNN!! We are counting on you!!!

There needs to be a party rule that requires all superdelegates to announce by a certain date just as the States have to with respect to voting.

A lot of voters can easily lose interest if they see 2-3 months of nonsense and decide that Democrats really don't have the self-discipline necessary to govern.

hillary clinton has no respect for borak obama. for whatever reason she has always been trying to look down upon him , discredit him. her denial to to recognize him as the party nominee is unthinkable and reflects her deep , profound hatred and disdain for mr. obama and lack of common courtesy. this is even not good politicking. this is pathetic.

We as democrats cannot let the party tell us what to do. We CANNOT let Obama supporters tell us that we have to do the right thing. The right thing for us if we do not support Obama is not to vote for him. If Hillary were to win they would not support her they have said before that they would not vote or vote McCain and now they are telling us that we have to vote for Obama because he is the nominee. WRONG.

DON'T LET THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TELL US WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS CALLED A DICTATORSHIP.

Hillary and her supporters said they would concede when the magic number 2118 is reached, and that number was even suppressed so what is she waiting for? Maybe for GOD himself to come down from his throne of Grace to spell it out to her to BACK OFF! Even the VP slot she should not be offered because she does not deserved it with all her negativities. The Clinton machine was destroyed by just an unknown Senator from Chicago-ill what a shame!

I have the same gut feeling for Obama that I had for Bush and that is why I voted against him in the past. Being from Florida, I also got shafted and my vote did not count in the last presidential election. This time, if Hillary does not make it as a nominee, Obama will not get my vote and I'll say Adieu to the losers who call themselves leaders of the Democratic party. Notice that those pushing for Obama can afford suv's and have jobs. The majority of people that voted for Hillary are hurting and voted for her because of her experience, tenacity and can-do attitude – they know she will help them as she promises. She is definitely not repeat not, a johnny come lately.

In the end he will lose to McCain. Enjoy the celebration while it lasts.
Add Barak to the long list of left wing Democratic party losers.

George McGovern
Al Gore
Ed Muskie
John Kerry
BARAK OBAMA

What the remaining uncommitted superdelegates do isn't going to matter a bit toward unifying the party. What matters is what Obama and Clinton decide to do next. Either of them could dictate whether the Democratic party wins in November or not.

FYI: Hillary didn't win the popular vote! Get it right.

I still want to know if Donna Brazil who is a superdelegate is going to leave the democratic party. She told CNN that if the superdelegates were to be the ones that elected the nominee than she would quit the party. If she does not then she too is a flopper.

Why is it so hard for Hillary Clinton to step aside. Barack Obama won fair and square. There is no way that Hilliary Clinton should be the VP on the ticket. Barack Obama should not have her as a VP on the ticket to win the election. He should be able to pick his own VP, not someone who he can not trust. I would not vote for her because of her double standards. She would had ask Barack to step aside if he would had lost to her. If she is only the ticket, I can not vote for her. The contest is over and she need to move on and get behind her party. She just a sore loser. She is just an hater. Get over it and move on. Live is to short!!!!!

Barack Obama is the best candidate for the job. Hillary Clinton is the weaker candidate. Let just move on to the general election.

There is no reason for Hillary to bow down to this man–she has more of the American vote than he does! Let him look arrogant if he wants to–he limped badly over the finish line and lost the last few elections. My full vote will go to someone else in Nov as they gave him my Mich primary vote which was meant for Hillary.

Time to show that actions mean more than words. If Hillary really wants to do the right thing for the party, which she claims to love, then it is time for her to consent defeat and move on. Every hour delayed only creates more and more animousity among her followers. People need to get over it and focus on the REAL task...taking back the White House and putting this country on a course of healing. Instead, people are still in denial and want to hurt themselves and this country by not supporting the nominee. If you do not like the election process...work to change it. But this election is over.

It's a shame when the President of the United States congradulates Sen. Barak Obama for securing the Democratic nomination while Sen. Hillary Clinton adamantly denies him closure.

This beautiful woman may still prevail.

Her supporters can rise her up from the ashes of inequity, hatred and corruption used to destroy her.

Good always prevails if those who are its servants, posess it and act on it.

Write Hill in for a NOV win.

As Americans we have that right. As democrats we have that obligation to speak out against campaigns of hate, such as this.

Reid and Pelosi should concentrate on why they are in the positions they are- to get us out of a war, restore our economy and represent their districts.
Of course it would be nice if all the candidates did the same. We might be in a better spot right now if politicians spent less time running and more time governing.
There should be a law forcing our leaders from running while in office.
I don't get paid for looking for a job and neither does anyone one else!
At least they should be made to take the time as unpaid personal time.

All democratic leaders are proving themselvs as a bunch of hypocrat.
They intiated to divide the party from the very begining of the primary.
Ted Kennedy/Tom Dash/John Kerry/Cristopher Dodd/ Petric Leahy. et al. These gentlemen literary couldn't do anything good for the party since JFK-Johnson era was over. It is the Bill Clinton after two decade give life and self esteem to the democratic pary. It is Clinton umbrella that save the democratic party from being history of politics.
Now without suggesting Obama to include Hillary as VP, they are talking about unit of the party? Rule is rule and fact is fact, but real truth is fact not the rule. So rule says, Obama wins( delegates vote), but fact is Hillary wins (popular vote). Didn't democrat learn the lesson from Bush-Gore count ( electoral vs popular). Come on, wake up. this is to request to all top-notch democrat leaders, just forced Obama to announce Hillary's name as VP ASAP and then move on for November

Wow – there are some REALLY upset Clinton supporters out there. Disgruntled Clinton supporters who are saying they will support McCain instead should pause for reflection. Obama supporters should chill out for a few days and realize they are VERY lucky to have the nomination to begin with. Someone had to lose this nomination and it wasn't going to be pretty. If it had been the other way around there may have been riots in cities across the USA and Clinton could count on a voter backlash in November. I'll be interested to see if the DEMs can recover from all the damage that has been done – and there has been damage. It should make for an interesting presidential campaign.

I have no idea what a Bush/McCain candidate is....to my recollection, McCain is a member of the Senate....not the executive branch.

Bill Hill

My heart is crying for Hillary, I am turned away by some people who are blind to obvious....
well, we can only hope for good, better for all right now.

But life goes on and we have to live it to our best, to do our best, to hope for the best ......

first time in my life I am ashamed of this country methods.

Hillary Clinton will turn away many voters who want a change (such as me) and energize contributions to the republican party. Be careful with so "dream ticket"

support our nominee.

Obama is home free so there is no longer a need to push the super delegates.
Instead the DNC should be focussing on how to get Hillary to back off

Can you smelllllllllllllllllll.....

what Barack is cooking?

Obama '08

Come on superdelegates go for Hillary. Show them what last minute good decision making is.

It appears that Obama is not the nominee until all the remaining supers have commited.

What are they waiting for. If they want to back Clinton go ahead, Obama has already won the nomination. The race is over.

As a TRUE DEM.. i know that if he chooses her.. he will lose a signifcant amount of support from his republican crossover base.. they crossed party lines(and independents) to get away from politics like hers and John McCain's and that should not be ignored.

Talk about spineless. Maybe we need a "wall of shame" for these fence-sitters. Or therapy? The long race for this historic nomination is finally over and they can't decide? Were they not caught up in the excitement? Do these people have a pulse? Somebody please help me understand this.

what does it matter? it's all academic now.
Sen obama is the nominee and whether the remainining 145 give him their support or not will not change the outcome or am i missing something?

Yeah! Get off the fence and go for Obama! Who could support Clinton after behaviour.

Can't they wait until the Convention to decide who to caste their vote to? After all, they would just be following the rules.

What does Barack Obama believe?

The thing is over. You were not men enough to make a decision when it actually mattered. Now that the work has been done for you just cast your endorsement and get on with not making other important decisions.

Clinton lost! She needs to step aside!!!!!!!!!!!

What in the world could these people be waiting on? It's not like they should be worried about offending Clinton – she has no power now. Obama, on the other hand, is the new leader of the party (and probable next president), he's the one they should be concerned about offending (and his constituents, if they need to get reelected).

I'm sorry but they evidently don't want to commit untill hilary does what ever. Typical democrat?

The superdelegates are damaging this party. What are they waiting for? This getting really crazy.

Of course Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton should be Vice President. There is no other person who can help Obama win in November.

The DNC needs to back off! That's how Obama has won is because they keep on pressuring people...TALK ABOUT PEER PRESSURE!!! The DNC is not gonna force Obama down my throat because I will be voting for McCain in November if he truly will be the nominee. I love Hillary to death and would be thrilled if she was president, however, I'm far from excited about Obama's victory. This country will go downhill faster than Bush and Cheney allowed it to if Obama is president. I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure he does not obtain office.

Seriously, what the hell are they waiting for???????????? the fact that there are 145 cowards who have waited until after the last primary to make their decision is deplorable. Al Gore is one of them, the fact that he has no backbone is probably the main reason that he lost in 2000.

Dem leaders are what caused all the problems in the first place as usual. They should all be fired or have the grace to resign after this debacle. They are the last people I would listen to. They are SO out of touch with mainstrem democrats.

This party is starting to disturb me. Why are they asking them to come out and support him. Why aren't they just coming out on their own.
