CNN

The Hillary Clinton mentality is just the type of administration that would occupy the white house if a democrat should win (which they won't). Won't budge an inch, can't say no when she needs to, and can't be truthful to save her life. Right from the beginning, she was running and hanging on to the Clinton coattails. She was betting on the popularity of the Clinton name and lost. She can thank her husband for that.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
What does Caroline Kennedy know about what the people of America want? She has stayed out of politics and the public eye until now? Was she already asked to be VP? That would explain her sudden attraction to politics. It would also explain Ted Kennedys endorsement over the wishes of the voters in his state. Obama is the presumitive nominee. Until the conventions, no one including McCain, are the nominees. the convention is when the actual votes will be given, until then anything can happen. I will wait until the convention to see the actual results. Out of three possible scenarios on popular votes, Obama is ahead in only one. He is not my nominee. If he is the actual nominee in August and that seems likely, I will at that time know how I will vote in November. I suspect I will have to vote for Hillary, by write-in

Hillary will not admit her defeat because she is a fighter and as far as I am concerned, she really hasn't been defeated. If Pelosi so wants the super delegates to make up their mind by Friday, what is her stance right now? With regards to California, Pelosi should endorse Hillary Clinton especially if Hillary won the district that Pelosi carries. I wonder what Pelosi's decision will be? Come on Speaker Pelosi, give us your answer. What are you waiting for? HILLARY CLINTON ALL THE WAY TO DENVER. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary Clinton is not due any ENTITLEMENT. She ran a good race, but she lost! She needs to impart some controls. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. Do the Clintons think they are any better than the other candidates? She is not the only one who lost the bid for the White House. How many times must the Clintons take ownership of the White House? Give me a break. It is not about Senator Clinton or former President Clinton, its about this country that we love.

A write-in for Clinton is a vote for McCain. Nobody, especially those concerned with women's rights, would touch McCain with a 10-foot pole.

So tells us, Pelosi, what exactly happened to the "will of the people?"
Hypocrite!

One more Hillary supporter for McCain.

Doesn't Congress have work to do? I mean, are we going to have to wait until Christmas to get a budget this year, literally??

I'll bet she lied awake all night just salivating as visions of sugar plums danced through her head. Get over it Nancy, you and Harry Reid have done nothing but flap your jaws. I don't think that either of you will be getting a Christmas card from the Clinton's again.

Jimbo,

well said. Sometimes sarcasm is the best way to point out irrationality.

Hillary or Death!

OBAMA'S VP SEARCH TEAM IS AN OUTRIGHT SLAP ON THE FACE
ON HILLARY BY OBAMA.

Pelosi is absolutely right. Hillary needs to concede and accept defeat....it's hard, I know but she needs to do it quick for the unity of the party. Anybody who thinks she can run as an independent, doesn't know squat about politics. I don't think Hillary as VP is a very good idea but she certainly deserves a high ranking position such as majority senate leader.

Sad day for all people in general and especially true democrats that Obama is the nominee.

He is Bush all over again.

I am leaving the party to become independent.

I guess I will be voting for McCain now.

I'm saying it first. clinton will run as a independant. McCain will win and Clinton will go for the white house again in 2013. Pointing her finger at 2008 and the fact Obama couldn't win. But it will be her fault he didn't win. Just sayin ya'll.

Hillary has demonstrated that mentally she is VERY slow...so
give her time to realise the truth.

She wants to destroy Obama so she can try again 2012.

She is not for the Democratic Party but for herself....

I hope Hillary goes her own way and does NOT help Mr. Obama in his campaign. He will lose the general election in November to McCain.

the Democrats are a mess. They made this a sexist, racial campaign. People, the media harped on Hillary to the very end.

Are you all happy now?

I will never vote for Obama. he can choose who ever he wants....it will make no difference now.

Reid, Pelosi, Edwards, Richardson, Carter, the kennedys, Byrd, McGovern, Dean...are all a joke.

I will be voting for McCain and will be making my T shirt. Hil Dems for McCain.

I never voted Republican, but there is always a first time.

At least McCain and the Republicans recognize "experience". Dems cannot!

Losers.

I am awed by your wisdom, fortitude and courage – to know your beliefs, support them with brilliant, studied facts and to stand firm against political nonsense is the type of leader any country needs and particularly ours. I trust your decision-making and direction and I have lost trust of Obama after I learned more about him. "Show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are" – he has courted people who belong in no-one's circle of friends – let alone the president's circle. Planned encounters and speeches – tell me how well one performs as an actor – history of behavior tells me how one performs/manifests as a person. Hillary you demonstrate a person of extraordinary intelligence, character and courage. Without you in the White House – I must vote for McCain – his policies will hinder my finances but I trust him – I do not trust Obama.
I implore you to seek the White House as President, VP or in 2012. Love and hugs – Colleen McCloskey

Wow....!!

Hillary really lost........!!

This is the biggest historical benchmark in American history.....!!

I cried tears of joy with emotional disbelief for an entire day....!!

I wish Martin Luther King was here to see this day....!!

GO ...... OBAMA.....!!

HILLARY CLINTION RUNNING AS AN INDEPENDENT WOULD BE A WELCOME MOVE AND A HUGE BOOST FOR HER 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS... WE ARE READY FOR IT AND WILL DOUBLE OUR SUPPORT AND CONTRIBUTIONS FOR HER.

Thank you Nancy Pelosi: a true democrat! Hillary's speech last night was the final nail in the coffin for me. She has never had any interest in uniting the party or the country. She is only out for HERSELF, and her supporters are falling for it hook, line, and sinker. It really is a shame.

What is most astonishing to me is that Hillary has actually convinced people that she is leadingin the popular vote, when that is just not true!! It's incredibly deceiving at best, and outright lying at worst! You people do know that her "popular vote lead" does not include the caucus states, or even the state of Washignton, which held a caucus AND a primary! BOTH of which Obama won handily.

Hillary needs to GO HOME. She had a chance to be a hero last night. She had a chance to go down in the history books as a strong, courageous woman who stood by her party and her country and exhibited grace and strength by putting her country's interest above her own. She failed.........miserably.

This is Obama's party now, and he had BETTER not be bullied into giving her ANYTHING or we are going to have a real problem.

Charlene, have you heard about the boom on Mizar-5? That's the planet in the parallel universe where Hillary won. On THIS planet, if you write in HRC, you might as well write in "Overturn Roe v. Wade". No write in or independent candidate has ever won, nor ever will.

And I voted for John Anderson.

If Hillary is not on the ticket Obama will lose the election.

No candidate is required to concede right away. I think she deserves some time for reflection and advice from her family and closest advisors. Plus, today is her mother's 89th birthday. Is she not allowed to enjoy that?

Hillary Clinton has worked her heart out for the last 16 months campaigning but her true commitment to Public Service started decades ago.
She doesn't owe the DNC and leadership a single thing and the way they have treated her she should turn her back on them.
I hope she will not accept the VP , if offered .
Let Obama run on his paper thin resume , his lack of knowledge and judgement , make him finally answer the tough questions and give some specifics.
So far it has been a lot of empty talk , sermon like speeches without substance.
You have lowered the bar once again , to qualify for the Presidency.

Are people really serious??? Give it up and face the fact that Hillary lost already!!!!! This write in nonsense and threatning to vote for McCain is just IDIOTIC! How you can say you are a true democrat but make a threat to vote for McCain.

It's time we all unite around Obama (like it or not) and let the Dems win this thing in Nov for heaven's sake.

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlene,

She couldn't win the Democratic primary race. How do you think she'll be able to win the General Election as an Independent? Your logic baffles me.

Pelosi should be voted out for not being sure who to vote for!..While asking everyone else to decide she wants to sit on the fence!,....Vote her out!

Democrats talking about voting for McCain because their candidate - who agrees with the presumptive nominee on 99% of policy issues - lost? It's amazing to me how people saying this don't understand how much it undermines any credibility their support of Hillary has.

Elections are about issues, aren't they? Why would you vote for someone sure to change things in a way that would anger and upset you and that violate your beliefs rather than vote for someone who will represent those values and beliefs?

I'm a woman, and I would have liked to have seen Hillary run. But she didn't win. Florida and Michigan broke the primary rules and they received what is in the end a warranted–and light–punishment. She still lost. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

And now many of Hillary's die-hard supporters are conforming perfectly to the stereotypes women have been fighting to overcome for years - the shrill, irrational, and unreasonable woman who will throw a tantrum on national TV than accept a situation, make the best of it, and move forward.

Follow the issues and your core values and you'll see that Obama will do just fine to represent Democrats' interests in the fall. Certain better than McCain, who opposes Hillary (and Obama) on nearly all the issues.

Charlene is silly.

ok so, lets say that the dems win 55% of the vote this year to the republicans 45%. I think its pretty obvious that Obama and Clinton will split that vote. So, the results would roughly be:

McCain 45%
Clinton 22.5%
Obama 22.5%

If you're a democrat, you're not too bright. If you're a republican, you are a coward.

All this basically comes down to a few things 1. Party unity 2. Debt 3. Do what you would want the other to do. 4. Change. I admire the loyalty of Hillary's supporters. Would want them in my conner. But come on. She lost the game in the bottom of the 9th inning. Now we need to move onto the next game. Quit the squabbling and unite. Obama pay off her debt. Hillary supporters vote for a Democrat. Troops come home, economy gets better, the world will last longer.

It'll still be McCain in November, Obama has not convinced me to put my one vote for him and I doubt very much the so-called Reagan-Democrats will either. It'll be interesting to see the debates, and I can already hear McCain running all over him, while Obama stumbles in his speech, sounds like Bush all the time....ugh....ugh, what, I really mean to say.

Hillary is people's choice! Obama is DNC's bubble boy! He will burst in November, just like Kerry did!

Obama get Hillary out of your system don't let her snick her way back on the podium. Last night a lot of people thought she was the winner. She is still presenting herself as the more electable. She is an old Queen without a throne with a lot of bitterness.

If all the Clinton supporters keep fighting against Obama and we lose to John McCain. The Dem. party will blame Hillary and her supporters for his loss and we will not vote for her if she tries to run again in 2012.

I don't understand why we still keep paying attention to Pelosi, who helped Congress achieve its lowest approval ratings in history. I think she's hurt that she has not even been mentioned as potential VP.

~

Someone want to tell Clinton it's over...

Ps make sure there aren't any sharp objects around... LOL

Obama has woen this process WITHOUT the help of Clinton. In point of fact, Hillary and her supporters threw all the kitchen sink stuff at Obama and he won "fair" and square.

So Obama does NOT need Hillary to screw this process for him. Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea should stay away from this ticket and the White House as far as possible.

If the Clinton supportes wnat to roll over to McCain, so be it. Both Hillary and McCain make the same old poor judgements with their years of tauted experiences. We need to move forward (change); this election is about CHANGE, not Queen Hillary or One-eyed McCain.

Now lets focus on McCain.

Raz

Will someone tell the Clinton supporters that it's time to stop being emotional (eventhought that's what your best at). Look at the ISSUES her and Barack are in lockstep with the ISSUES about 90% of the time. What's the logic if that's the case to vote for McCain, your really going to vote against your best self-interest? I refust to believe that, take your time vent however, but realize that your still Democrats and we MUST support the nominee!

Obama 08"

Jimbo-
Thank you for proving that sexism is alive and well.

mildred,

And U think she can win as an independent. You'll need to get over yourself. What's with this women Lib nonsence?

Jimbo,

What is rightfully hers? She lost, get over it!

TO ALL YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS.....

I THINK THERE IS MORE THAN 18 MILLION AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT CAN EASILY MAKE UP FOR ALL YOU NON-VOTERS FOR OBAMA.....

REMEMBER HILLARY IF SHE HAD WON, BUT SHE DIDN'T,WOULD NEED OUR VOTES ALSO, HAVING SAID THAT, WE WILL RALLY BEHIND OBAMA TO ENSURE THAT HE IS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITED STATES.......

YOU GO "PRESIDENT OBAMA"!!!

I am black and I love you Nancy Pelosi . You are so cute and very intelligent.

Say it again – louder this time. I don't think Hillary heard or understood you the first time!

@Jim, Pelosi may not be mention as VP and neither will Hillary. LOL

Pelosi,
And now, if he could only be the president-elect come Nov.... all you losers who control party will have an inexperienced pawn you can control. But, alas, he can't get elected. I guess you haven't lost anything. Had Clinton been the nominee, she would have won the election in Nov put have been way too competent a leader for any of you second-tier jackals to control her.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

Hillary needs to be humble, and concede to
OBAMA HE WON, HE PLAYED BY THE
RULES THAT HER OWN ICKIES CREATED.
AND THESE RULES WERE CREATED
WHEN JESSIE JACKSON RAN FOR PRESIDENT.
AND NOW THEY HELPED OBAMA.

I agree with Obama Black Eagle, we should cherish our right to vote, and utilize it for the good of the party. Obama is now the nominee, and all democrats should fully support him, as should all dissatisfied Republicans. lol

To all Obamacans & Pelosi: Do you think this will be easy road to victory? NO WAY! ON TO DENVER! we won all the big blue states & swing states! It will take a miracle to win the hearts and minds of the 18Million Hillary supporters! Cut the VP bull... cut the She ran a great campaign! We will never support an INTERN!!!!!

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!

It is very clear what IS IS when she said it Bill so don't you and Hillary get it twisted.
Obama08

Clinton has proven that she doesn't care about America nearly as much as her ego.

CONGRATULATIONS SENATOR BARACK OBAMA!!!
THANK YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!

Nancy must be getting scared about her role in this selection by the DNC and Demo elite of Obama. Now go make nice to Hillary so you can win in November. Heal to Party and put her on the ticket. umm... I think I remember Nancy a while ago saying no Dream Ticket. Well tell that to 18 million votes.

first of all, it is so awfully sad, that the whole world, including republican and people who dislike Obama like Limbaugh ahve all said loudly that he is the Democratic nominee, ALL but the CLINTONS
this goes to show you her arrogance
this goes to sh ow you that this is not about the party or the people
this goes to show you she does not care
this goes to show their entitlement

enough is enough!!! why is she entitled and the rest not?
first she broke the rules, then protested about the ruling for MI and FL
now she does not care about the numbers, so the message
no rules and no numbers nothing counts for clintons unless the clintons say it ............pathetic.. why is everyone so afraid of hte clintons?
why is she so speciaL?
thank you Pelossi

thank you everyone for being at least respectful,
honor to who honor deserves

this woman is not just divisive, disrespectful, but simply put she is EVIL and narcissistic..

Obama/Pelossi, or Sebiliouus

ANYONE BUT THE EVIL CLINTONS

Hillary did good to acknowledge Obama's taking the prize without surrender. CNN you and your best spin teams don't get it Hillary came out the strong one and does not need what you coin "the dream team"
The Clinton's you National treasure mocked by you are appreciated on the world stage. We hope the Clinton's get out of your dirty politics and leave the (un) democratic party. The world awaits a co-wriited book by Hillary & Bill on the 2008 pimaries..the story needs to be told.
Around the world the Clinton's are esteemed and respected

PELOSI JUST NEEDS TO SHUT UP!!! WHO IS SHE TO SAY WHAT HILLARY SHOULD DO? THIS FROM A WOMAN WHO HAS WORSE JOB APPROVAL RATINGS THAN GEORGE BUSH. I AGREE ONLY WITH PART OF ONE THING SHE SAID: "THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN". THAT'S ALL I AGREE WITH. SHE IS RIGHT. 18 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND SAID THAT HILLARY CLINTON IS THEIR CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT, NOT OBAMA. CLINTON HAS RECEIVED MORE VOTES IN A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE IN HISTORY. YEAH... THAT MEANS EVEN MORE THAN OBAMA. UNLESS, OF COURSE, PELOSI IS COUNTING THE 30 PEOPLE OF THE RULES AND BYLAWS COMMITTEE THAT DECIDED THEY KNEW THE INTENT OF THE 600,000 VOTERS IN MICHIGAN WHEN THEY VOTED FOR CLINTON AND THAT THE VOTERS REALLY MEANT OBAMA. MUST HAVE PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTON LIKE OBAMA OFTEN DOES WHEN A POLITICAL STANCE IS NO LONGER CONVENIENT. SUPERDELEGATES ARE NOT BOUND TO OBEY PELOSI OR REID (ANOTHER ONE WITH LOWER JOB APPROVAL RATINGS THAN BUSH), OR EVEN DEAN. SUPERDELEGATES CAN TAKE AS LONG AS THEY WANT TO DECIDE WHO THEIR CHOICE IS NOT THE CHOICE OF PELOSI OR REID OR DEAN. THE NOMINEE IS ONLY PRESUMPTIVE. OBAMA IS NOT THE NOMINEE. THOSE ARE THE RULEZ!!! HILLARY CAN STILL CHALLENGE THE RBC MICHIGAN DECISION SO IT'S NOT OVER YET.

take your facelift somewhere else lady!

let's be honest here. the media never investigated all the allegations about Obama's past. His childhood as a Muslim, his actions over the years politically, why he continued in a church for 20 years with a racist pastor. They gave him a "free ride". I don't trust him. I have an uneasy feeling about his real motives and attitudes as to the issues and the USA. He wasn't in Congress when they voted on Iraq so he can say whatever he wants. Let us all hope and pray that this nomination doesn't come back to hurt us. I would much prefer Hillary with her experiece in government to handle the crises of today.

Pelosi, you should work on the approval rate of 18% that Congress has under your leadership. Dingy Harry does have a little responsibility too. Tweedledee and tweedledum.

For everyone who cries and shouts about Hillary losing the nomination fair and square, I say: "Get in the kitchen, and make me a sandwich."

Well, since we do live in a FREE Democracy, I can vote for whoever the heck I want to and you other people can get the heck over it. GOT IT? You can't bully me into voting for someone I believe is unprepared to be the POTUS. Got it? Got it? Are you listening or still hypnotized? IF Obama loses, it will be because he is not the best person for the job..........got it?

One of the things that concerns me about the Omaba/Clinton dream ticket is with Hilliray continuing to drive the point of her being more electable. This almost hints that Omaba as President is presumed still less quailfied. If she pressures him into choosing her it might well be in his best instrest to choose another powerful white woman
as a running mate. Many doubted he would get this far, so what harm could it do to still have faith in America doing the right thing.

CHARLENE I'm with you.Lets all HILLARY supporters write in her name in NOV if she doesn't run as INDIPENDENT.GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The race for democrats is over.

For some of you who think she can win independent are still dreaming just like Clinton was dreaming last night.

ITS OVER AND LETS START SUPPORTING OBAMA THE PRESIDENT WHO WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

not this MCBush with his speaches.

It seems that when he practices his speaches he sounds good when he says " Thats not the change we want, my FRIENDS"

give me a brake and all you clinton supporters just listen to MCbush speak and ask yourself is this the person we want to vote for just because Clinton lost.

Obama 08 12

TO ALL DEMOCRATS ,AND PARTICULARLY CLINTON SUPPORTERS. EITHER YOU'RE WITH US, OR AGAINST US. THE STAKES ARE TOO HIGH THIS TIME AROUND, TO WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS VOTES. HAS 8 YEARS OF BUSH , LIES, NEGLECT, TREACHERY, TAUGHT YOU NOTHING?

-----–we love you Obama, you will be our Prz. this year.----

god bless you sen.Obama.

Wow, you mean this is actually news and she had to make a statement ??? Nothing gets by this woman...no wonder she is Speaker of the House???? Brilliant Madame Speaker tell us something we do not already know!!!!! How about putting our tax dollars at work and working together with your collegues in the House and Senate and working on a solution about the economy, the high price of gas or solution to the housing/credit mess?

Sorry to disappoint you Nancy, but it's not over until the convention. Superdelegates can change their mind at any time up until they vote at the convention. Since Obama didn't reach 2,118 by pledged delegates alone, he's not officially the nominee yet. Hillary doesn't have to concede anything as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, and by the way, I'm an INDEPENDENT voter who happened to support Hillary. My vote right now is a toss up. Hillary and Obama may be the same on 99% of issues, but I guarantee you Hillary or McCain will not bow down to any foreign leader or terrorists. I can't make the same guarantee about Obama.

And now my comment will be in eternal moderation because I'm not supporting Obama...

Hive it time, people... give it time.

Pelosi and the rest of the DNC made sure Obama would be the nominee.....he is in all of their back pockets!!! He will not be able to throw any of them under the bus!

Obama supporters....keep in mind he is only the presumptive nominee. I am asking that Clinton appeal the Rules committee decision regarding Michigan. Their decision has no rules to base the results on. They have no provisions for taking votes and delegates from one candidate to another or to award all uncommitted votes to a candidate who did not have their name on the ballot.

So I will suggest the Obama supporters clearly understand that the majority of Democratic voters supported Clinton – not Obama. At least 30+% will not support Obama. He claims to be the uniter....lets see! He will fail and it will be McCain in November IF he is the nominee. There is a long way until convention.........oops – listen, I hear the Republicans engines starting!

More people voted for Hillary than for Obama.

I think that says it all.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

why is my comment always awaiting moderation Cnn?? I'll try again...

Honestly….the older militant feminist is becomming horribly embarressing to the daughters they raised. Not only that but may be the downfall of everything they accomplished.

Madame Speaker, you are a fool and an incompetent fool to boot!

LOL, way to go CNN, so typical of you NOT to allow a negative post on your Darlingone. I will just post somewhere else that they should change the DNC party name to "The Obama Nation", maybe "No Hillary Supporters Welcome" or " The Coventated voters of the former DNC". You people are just sad.

Pelosi needs to advise Obama on how to get Clinton's eightteen million supporters to vote for him. Clinton supporters loath him the way his supporters loath her (see above comments). The party is divided and McCain is celebrating the birth of his bouncing baby McCain democrats. Telling Clinton supporters to play nice won't cut it.

Did we forget it was Clinton nomination to lose??? She ran a great campaign too late. Not counting the caucus states is just bias. She supposed to unify the party. She didn't do that last night at all.

the "aire apparent" president obama, i like the sound of that.

hardcore hillary supporters: i understand you are loyal to your candidate but she has lost the nomination. would you really like to have our troops still in iraq getting injured and killed daily. be serious and reconsider. do not be a bargaining chip, you all are better than that.

As far as I know, the Clintons have never lost a race. I don't think she can believe it that she really lost. She's in denial.

Who cares what Pelosi thinks. She is getting on my nerves. Now everyone wants to unite, but would they be saying the same thing if Hillary was the nominee? Or would African Americans block vote in November as they said they would? Dem party are a bunch of hypocrites. Hillary is going down in history and Obama will go down as well. How funny that Obama supporters always stated this was not about race but now the head lines read this is historic the first African American nominee for the Presidency, This nomination was always about race this is why Obama one.

I truly believe the racism started and ended in the Obama camp. They were just smart enough not to get caught.

TRULY UPSET

*** CNN POST THIS – OBAMA LOVERS ***

i dont trust the clintons anywhere near him she and bill will do everthing they can to destroy him look what they did in the primaries but i know obama is smarter than that dont worry hillary will not be vp but i do see her somewhere maybe healthcare????????

Rightly put – atem.

On top of it, am not sure what is the motive there for the Clintons (hook or crook, I need to make money???) – I thought the Clintons have enough money and if they chose to , they can still do Public Service ( as they have been actually).

Bill – You are AWESOME but do not let Hillary / yourself stoop to this level and tarnish your well known image...

If Obama makes her the VP nominee then this is a disaster for the country for sure (not because of anyone) but because there are too many conflicts and the country would go back ward!!

I would have NO second thoughts on either NOT VOTING OR VOTING FOR MCCain (After all he has several liberal ideas...)

It makes me so sad to see the Clinton supporters be such sore loosers. Voting for Mccain or not voting, will open the opprotunity for Mccain to get Roe v. Wade overturned, and as women that should be on your minds when you cast your vote in November. I hope Obama picks Clinton for VP, I think that she would be great!!

OBAMA, OBAMA!!!

Bold & elegant words, Ms. Pelosi. Hopefully this event has opened the eyes to the rest of the country as to the necessity for equality.

Thank you, Hillary, for adamantly demanding equality. We all look forward to seeing what more you can do for women in the future.

Go Obama!

Didn't some say that Obama supporters were delusional? Now Hillary has lost the nomination and her supporters are still saying they are voting for HER? Who is delusional now? Voting for someone that is not really a candidate? What planet are they from?

The way I see it, the people have spoken but the 'other' people decided.

How can Pelosi set a deadline for superdelegates? They don't officially vote until August. Is she worried about something happening before August?

I think that Billary's failure to concede blew her only chance of bowing out gracefully. If she's on the ticket-I'm switching sides!

Go Nancy! You are tough and thoughtful. Nancy for VP!! Out with Hilary!

I'm looking forward to voting McCain [Republican for the first time in my life].

Too bad no one worth a crap can beat Pelosi in her re-election. At least we only have 2 years to deal with her next election.

What a joke and gutless Speaker of the House.

HRC Supporters: Why are you doing this to the party? You are still trying to separate HRC supporters from all the rest. Don't you care at all about the big picture and what's at stake. HRC has lost and time to move on and get the nominee in the White House. You act as if the only issue facing Americans is preceived sexism. Are you kidding me. There are real problems in this country Obama and HRC are basically the same on many issues and yet you continue to beat the dead horse over loss. We need to get a Democrat in office. This is not the time for defiance. It's a time to join together to defeat for more years of Bush/McCain policies. Writing HRC on the ballot is a waste of a vote. That is what is wrong with this country – people never think others, only of themselves.

It irritates me when I hear about Hillary's "ground-breaking" run for President. The FACTS are that she unfortunately, could not break that marble ceiling because of the rampant sexism that still holds sway in this country. Where else could an unknown freshman senator with no experience beat a senator with years of experience and a record of working for the people of this country? It would have been hard to believe if it had been two men. But, Hillary's a woman, so the explanation seems obvious. The rude and derogatory statements by Obama's supporters, in addition to Obama himself having never directly addressed the needs of women, has totally disinfranchised me from a party that I have been a member of for 40 years.

Why do so many people think that anything Clinton does is a disaster for the party? It hasn't seemed to work that way as Obama is a tougher candidate, more people have rallied to vote in the election. She has not always done things the way I would have but she has always shown why after. I look forward to seeing how she handles the next days.

And I'm sure she threw a party at her house last night. We all know what Pelosi wanted.

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

Believe me, if Sen Clinton believed she would win as an Independent, she would get that done this week. BUT that would be political suicide.
The reason she got so far is BILL/DEM PARTY relationship.

As an Independent, If Obama makes her VP, the GOP will get back in the WhiteHouse for another 8 years. That my dears, is the truth.

Once the dust settles, True Dems will unite and win in Nov – without Hillary on the ticket of course.

Can Pelosi send a memo Clinton's ivory tower? Hillary just doesn't seem to get it.

Pelosi...and our great Senate leader...for your outstanding records in achieving soooooooooooo much for the American nation and people, I would like to offer you this early retirement package. God forbid you drone on and on for four more years.

Thank you Pelosi for standing up.

PERIOD!

THIS IS TO THE FAKE DEMOCRATS AND TO THE REPUB ACTING LIKE DEMOCRATS TO KEEP THIS PARTY DIVIDED

WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE THE PUNDITS AND THE MEDIA DOING THEY JUST KEEP THIS WOMAN FEELING AS IF SHE HAS WON SOMETHING SHE HAS LOST THE PRIMARY. AND IF YOU HILLARY SUPPORT ARE SO SORE THAT SHE HAS LOST AND WANT TO CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THE REPUBS THEN WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR YOU? YOU ARE JUST AS POWER HUNGRY AS SHE IS. SHE HAD A FAIR PRIMARY SEASON AND SHE LOST GET OVER IT. WE REAL TRUE DEMOCRATS WILL LEAD ON IN OUR DETERMINATIONS TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK WHILE YOU FAKE DEMS TRY AS HARD TO SELL IT OUT. ALL TRUE AND REAL DEMOCRATICE LET US BAND TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY AND BRING OUT FAMILY MEMBERS HOME FROM THIS WAR THAT WAS ONLY TO GIVE BUSH A NAME. TO BRING HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND A SENSE OF PRIDE BACK TO THE MAIN FRONT WE HAVE WORK TO DO LETS GET BUSY ALL TURE AND REAL DEMOCRATS AND

LEAVE THE FALSE DEMOCRATS WHERE THEY STAND AS LOOSERS

who is she trying to fool,Pelosi has been telling Clinton to drop out for the last three months.
If they want the white house as badly as they claim, she should be pushing for a unity ticket as that is the only way the Dems are going to win it.
Obama is too left for 50% of the people who voted in this primary and McCain is more in the center than to the right. I love the people who comment on unity and getting behind Obama and how we all must stand as one, and then turn around and call anyone who might differ with them an idiot.

IGNORE HILLARY.........THERE'S NOTHING SHE CAN DO NOW.

EVEN A DENVER FLOOR VOTE WILL CONFIRM OBAMA.

Too late but still Congratulations Pelosi!!

Finally the Democratic Party did show that there are some leaders – all along, your party was pathetic and mute on so much of Public funding getting wasted for 2 campaigns (the same money could have been spent on something useful for America)

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WILL NOT WIN IN THE GE WITHOUT 18 MILLION OF HILLARY SUPPORTER.

HILLARY OR MCCAIN ONLY FOLK!

Hillary should be congratulated for fighting a good fight but the time is now for her and those who would vote for McCain just because she lost to grow up. Barack did not steal her nomination, he fought a smart campaign within the rules and won.
In his speech last night he showed grace and humility towards Hillary. What did we get from her? More of her favorite three words I, Me, and My. Instead of congratulating Barack she went on about popular vote and lot of other nonsense. I hope he does not pick her as his VP. He will win on his own or lose on his own (I can live with that). For those who want to jump ship and vote McCain. That is fine but please be honest about why you are voting for him instead of Barack.

obama was selected, NOT ELECTED, HE DID NOT WIN ANYTHING. HE HAD TO HAVE IT GIVEN TO HIM!! PATHETIC!!!

Do not believe anyone claiming to be a female Hillary supporter, that will write-in or suggest independant. Women are much smarter than that, and are not prone to immature knee-jerk reaction. They are Republican men posing as Democrates. I supported Hillary, but will get behind Obama 100%. Be smart, be strong, believe...

Why is this about Hillary Clinton. Barack is our nominee for President but yet it's still all about her and what she wants or don't want. I understand that she's disappointed. I get that she was favored to win, but let's get beyond that and rally around our nominee. The more she continues to resist, the more she drags the Party down. I'm beginning to believe that what they said is true...It's about the Clintons first, and the Party second.

If Hillary is not the nominee,all 18 million of us must unite and vote for McCain in the fall so we can send a strong message to the party leader,Hussein Obama CNN and MSNBC how we feel about them.

Hillar or McCain only folk!

Obviously, the Democratic Party only used Hillary Clinton to do some trailblazing for them.
Mission accomplished – now let’s dump the blonde.

Nancy............Please tell these weak-kneed "Super" delegates (and Hillary herself, if you get the chance) to either support Obama or to GET OUT OF THE WAY.

They are IRRELEVANT at this point, and either they get aboard or Obama train is leaving the station without them!!

Pelosi should get her facts right – it's up to the delegates to choose the VP, it just so happens that they usually defer to the candidate.

If he says no to Hillary we'll see just how willing he truly is to put squabbling behind him. Or maybe he'll let his wife's dislike of Hillary make his decision for him, now there's change we can believe in.

I am saddened that Hillary chose to make her speech last night all about herself. It should have been a night about Barack Obama's stunning and hard-fought victory to win the nomination. She took away a moment that rightfully belonged to him, not her , last night..

Where was the grace and maturity in accepting the results and congratulating her opponent for having WON ......rather than "RUN" as she stated last night?

too true, Voice, too true!

Nancy, you are a San Fancisco liberal. You have no values. Shut up.

To vote for another candidate out of SPITE is pathetic, as is the notion of "Vote DEM regardless of all issues".

I'm so sick of both sides of this argument:
-"I will vote McCain out of Spite"
-"Vote Obama because Always vote your party, never try to think for yourselves"

Vote for your country, not your party. If you think McCain is better, by all means vote for him. But don't do it simply out of spite and don't vote for Obama because you are brainless followers who vote blindly for your party with no care for the issues.

I'm voting Obama, I'm a republican, but that man can change things. He's the best we've had from the beginning and will be the best person to place in the white house...regardless of his VP selection.

Vote based on who will best serve our country...NOT based on emotion or blind faith.

Get on the Obama bus or stand there and look like fool!

Obama08&12

There is no sexism here. If that was the case Pelosi would not have been the top democrat. Hillary lost an now she want to play the race card. Obama was just as disadvantged as Hillary if not more. His name, his race and not being a household name like Clinton. She had going against her her sex. and that is it, period. She moved the goals each time he got closer and still is by not acknowledging his nomination. What next is the goal – He is not WHITE! I bet that is it.

Senator Obama won, but maybe all this woman that care more for a fanatic , agresive, selfish motives will damage the best oportunity we have to change the direction of this country, how can Hillary be more important than the direction of this country?, how woman and Hillary are more important than the issues that are for the best interest of the people?. I am a 65 years old woman and I support the democratic party, some say Senator Obama won't get the hispanic vote, well My family and friends will be very proud to support him.

Anyone who thinks that Rendell, and all those staunch Hillary supporters will still support her if she can on an independent ticket is insane. That would be a slap in the face. Why is it so difficult to come to grips with the fact that she lost? She could not convince the SD's that she was the best and she lost plain and simple. Furthermore, while she was focused on winning the "states that mattered" as she put it, Senator Obama was focused on letting the people's voices be heard. He truly is the winner because he blow her out in caucus state wins, the people that did not matter, and he kept in close in primary states.

The Voice of Reason has spoken!
And, is absolutely correct!!!!!!!!

Cheating, lying, racist preachers, slander, corruption, kickbacks, money schemes, Rezco, Iraq contracts, bribery, buying politicians........... Way to go Obama!

Pelousi has spoken !

A VOTE FOR OBAMA , HAS AN WILL BE. HISTORY .

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS , YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW . IF OBAMA WINS THE WHITE HOUSE, THE BIG CHANGE WILL BE, THAT IS ALL YOU WILL HAVE IS CHANGE IN YOUR POCKETS.

FOR TAXES ARE GOING UP, AN HE IS GOING TO PAY OFF ALL THOSE HOUSING LOANS . ONES THEY COULDN'T AFORD AT THE BEGINNING.

AN TO STEER HIM ON. PEOLSI .

COME ON SOME INDEPENDANT COME ON BOARD.

That picture of her looks like she's either about to sneeze or do the Lucy Ricardo WAAAH face. Great job, AP Photo Division!

But I digress. I agree with her, and I'm glad she stayed out of the battle (even if she gave hints she was on Obama's side toward the end there).

The Voice of No Reason – Clinton didn't blow her campaign. The Obama campaign calling everything that Clinton said Racist and the Biased media would be what cost Clinton the nomination.

Geez Jimbo..... you've got the same delusional issues many HRC supporters have.

The gig is up! Face it. If you can't, stop coming to "blog" because you obviously can't handle the truth. People like you scare me. It's a Democratic year, get on the bus or stay stuck at the station. voting for a republican's gonna keep you stuck anyway!

'Yea Yea the voice of reason is right on!

I am amazed at the ignorance this primary has caused. People have lost their minds along with Sen. Clinton. First of all, no one took anything away from Hillary. She entered a race knowing well that the winner was determined by the delegate count. She signed an agreement to have Michigan and Florida punished for violated the DNC rules. Her popular vote claim is false as well as her claim to count all votes. After being slaughtered in SC, she decided to work to change the rules of the DNC and has managed to undermind her supporters to believe her.

If any one still thinks Sen. Clinton is the best candidate after last night, they need to be committed to a mental institution along with her. That speech she gave was not about anyone but herself. It was carefully written to bully Sen. Obama into selecting her as VP. People need to wake up because Hillary Clinton is not worth another term of Bush policies.

Hillary refusal to admit her defeat right away is a disaster for Obama in November. I’m beginning to believe she felt entitle to Presidency. Someone should tell her she lost in a democratic way. One person between them was obviously going to lose. Why can’t she understand it?

Obama can win without her but it will great if she works to elect him. Anyone who wants Sen. Clinton to run as an independent doesn't understand her loyalty her party and her beliefs and the people who supported her. She will not turn her back on her political career and an opportunity to serve.

People need to take a step back and look at this election for what it is worth. Yes, this was a highly contested Democratic primary, but we now have a nominee. You are all constantly attacking Obama as though he discredited Hillary in some way, which he has not. Don't attack him for sexist comments made by the media and others. If we don't all take a step back and look at the true meaning of the November election we could stand to loose so much more. If Obama looses in the Fall, we all do. Gas prices will continue to rise, the economy will continue to decline, jobs will continue to be lost, the Iraq war will continue to purge our resources, and more troops will continue to loose their lives and suffer with no end in sight. In the end, is all this bickering amoungst Democratic supporters really worth it? Get a grip and a serious reality check!

Pelosi is a dingbat. She won't even be mentioned as a possible VP candidate. She's not popular like Hillary is, she doesn't have over 18 million supporters behind her. She's a prune.

Charlene dear, no she can't. Read up a bit yeah?! It would be impossible for her to win an election with just the demographics that support her lol

If she did that she would be labelled a traitor by the Democratic party leaders, and would overall smash the Clinton legacy further that she already has.

Shes made history, and shes an amazing person, but shes no change agent. Shes not as inspirational, and shes no way the strongest candidate.

The Democratic Party is Obama's now. Get over it.

Remember that Dems will more than likely win the House and Senate with more than enough votes for a veto over ride or veto power over McCain's Supreme Court picks! Don't threaten us with Roe V Wade!

This whole election was so biased toward Obama – Pelosi is crazy if she thinks us Regan Dems will vote for Obama!

Obama will sink this party – Not the Clintons! Chicago politics will not work in the general election!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that the Democratic presidential race is over, and it's time to rally around the party's nominee. Did Hillary and her supporters get that message?

Obama can win without Hillary as long as she is not stabbing him in the back over the next 6 month.

Hillary's Supporters:

We do give her props, did you hear the cheers when Obama spoke so well of her last night? If you really do care anything about Hillary's policies or even her future political career, you should vote Obama. She is going to be a senator, the question is will she be able to get anything done? Only an Obama administration will be willing to work with her, McCain and the republicans will only continue to block any good from coming out of the democratic congress.

Please – this is not personal, we have to save our Country!! This is not about supporting Obama, this is about supporting America and Americans and taking the White House back from this disgraceful administration!!

The republicans have been playing nice, but trust me, If she had been winning do you really think that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity would have had nice things to say about her? How quickly we forget.

Hold your nose if you have to, but please do the right thing.

America's unity is the first preference...so Hillary has to endorse obama and release her crony group to choose what they want to...you can't bargain like hostages with our country's interest..stepdown soon.

Obama 2008...!!!

Hey Brian,

You take a deep breath buddy and stop telling people how to vote. If Charlene's conscience compels her to vote for Mrs. Clinton, it's her duty to do so.
BTW, Mrs. Clinton has not conceded this nomination. Superdelegates do not vote until August, perhaps she knows something about Mr. Messiah ?
We'll see.

I can't wait to vote Barack Obama in November!!!

An independent vote for Hillary is a vote for Mc Cain. There is a lot at stake this election such as ending the war in Iraq and Roe vs Wade. If Mc Cain wins because Obama has lost the votes of democrates upset about Hillary losing, how many more men and woman will die in a war that we need out of? how many teenage girls will bleed to death in back ally's after an abortion? The blood will be on your hands. Please tell me how that is honoring your candidate? Please explain to me as a mother of 3 sons that my sons may have to risk their lives someday in a war that we should not be in, all because you are upset that your candidate lost? How self centered can a group of people be!
Come on and support Barack Obama! Do it for the sake of our children and for the sake of our country!

Some of us are not puppets to a party. If you think Obama doesn't need Hillary's supporters YOU are wrong. Come November it will be proven. Do you realize you had the two opposite polls of Democrats voting one of two ways for the PRIMARIES? One side voted for talk of change and the other side for experience to make change happen. One side voted because they were the same race as someone, the other side voted because they were the same gender or age as someone. Come November it will not simply two sides of a Democratic party voting for President. It will be Republicans, Independents, People who voted for Obama, and People who didn't vote for Obama. Do you see the math or are you still reality deficient?

Hillary got 18 million vote and you think that you don't need them to vote for Obama and choose to insult us and Hillary as our votes aren't needed? This is why many of use will vote for McCain over Obama. We aren't puppets to a party that has voted foolishly and chosen a nominee for President of a party who will end up losing in November. We'll see how much you cry "its your fault!" in November when Obama loses in November. It's your fault you chose the loser to begin with and it's YOUR fault you chose to say you don't need OUR votes.

@ ALL THE REPUBLICANS PRETENDING TO BE DEMOCRATS ON THIS BLOG

Listen and listen well, your operation anachy is over. Clinton has lost AND whether you like it or not, Obama is our nominee. You can peddle as much confusion as you like, but hacken to believe that come November, we democrats shall unit ans send your McBush out of the white house. Its time for a change in Washington and nothing all you fake democrats do can stop it.
It has been written. If God be for us who can be against us?

It is high time for the Democratic Party's leadership to shut down Hillary Clinton. It is clear that although Hillary has tried to project herself as carrying the banner for women, she is really only interested in achieving her dream to lead this country. Last night she diminished her standing when, instead of advocating party unity, she used her speech for self-aggrandizement. Both she and Bill must learn that they can't always be winners.

Like we need her telling the American people. I think we are smart enough to figure that out without her having to be on television. She is becoming a burden to the Democrat party

As a life-long true conservative I have been let down by the Bush administration. The Democrats are, remarkably, the new conservatives when it comes to fiscal policy.

Senator Obama ran an impressive national campaign and finished with $ 40 million in the bank. Bush started his presidential bid with failed oil businesses – a Texan who could not find oil in Texas.

I am not impressed with McCain – he is Bush light, and perhaps not so light. Senator Obama really does have what it takes to end this partisan idiocy and perhaps return our troops.

I think I know what Hillary Clinton wants. She wants some Barack Obama! She wants another president in her life.

I am a Hillary support and i will never vote for obama. We as Hillary can show all of you Obama support better than we can tell you wait and see come Nov.. Mccain numbers will be way up, If she not on ticket. Let them spin that

As we all know, idiots love showing their idiocy (after all, they think they're smart). I highly doubt any Hillary Clinton supporters will back McCain. Most of them will vote Obama, regardless of what the Republicans want you to think. Very few true Democrats are dumb enough to vote for Bush v 2.0...

I have really been disappointed in Pelosis and her behavior. She attempted for several months to force HC out of the election. Why have she been forceful about this matter. My attitude about her skills as a politician and leader is marred.

NOOOOOOOOOOO, please, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Barack needs someone like Hagel or Biden or Webb to really help his foreign policy.

HRC would only hurt him and his call for change because she is typical Washington!! Besides what would he do with Bill – perhaps put him in the dog house?! She needs a cabinet post where she can do some good and not make things worse!!

I understand that Hillary may be disappointed in the outcome and that her supporters are just as diappointed. But step back and look at reality. In case you cannot recognize it, Pelosi is voicing that reality. There is no chance for Hillary any more. She cannot win – as a Democrat or Independent.
For those supporters who continue to delude themselves that there is still some outside chance, I'm fairly certain Sen. Clinton will eventually step up and quash those delusions. She has said that she will back and support the eventual nominee. I hope that she does not wait until the convention, although I've heard some noise that she may use her weight to gain some concessions in the party platform. Waiting until the convention would hurt the Democratic party immensely.
If her ego and ambition cause that type of damage, she will have no chance at the nomination in 2012.

There is a reason that even with the nomination in hand, Obama has yet to get all of the democratic superdelegates to rally around him!!!

Thing that make you go uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Pelosi you know how Obama bought the delegates to get to the goal post first.

Hillary has the voice of the people and we want her to take it to the floor and all the way to the White House!

Obama needs Hillary more then Hillary needs Obama!

Hillary 08

"The California congresswoman, who remained neutral throughout the primary season, ..."

Yeah, right. She stabbed Hill in the back so many times, you can't count the holes!

Worst Speaker ever!

It really irritates me that Nancy Pelosi garners this much attention. I know why she does but hearing her talk grates at me!

I urge all Hillary supporters to either sit out or write in her name on your state ballot. The best candidate for President didn't get the nomination and we must show the spineless Capitol Hill Democrats (who couldn't fight if their lives depended upon it) that it is the people who have the power.

Let us take a breath and wait for our turn in 2012.

Hillary never give up!

Brian NJ.... You all lost..

It's time to unite and get ready for the general election. I hope Hillary's supporters can move beyond their disappointment and anger to campaign and vote with their heads and not their hearts. To support John McCain is a slap in the face to every issue and policy choice that Hillary stands for. Do you Hillary supporters really think that Hillary wants to go down in history as being responsible for the overturning of Roe v. Wade because she could not convince her supporters to vote for the candidate that would uphold her political beliefs? Or be responsible for 4 more years of the Iraq war, again because she couldn't convince her supporters that these issues were more important than holding a grudge. Because decades and centuries down the road, after you, her supporters, have long been forgotten, that will be Hillary's legacy if you cannot past your anger. Certainly not a way to honor your candidate and everything she stands for.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

The people have spoken and they have choose Hillary Clinton as their nominee and that the fact.

Go Hillary all the way!

Clinton/Bloomberg Independents in 2008!

THAT'S the SPIRIT!

WELL SAID SPEAKER PELOSI. THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKING THE RULES LOUD AND CLEAR.

DID YOU HEAR THAT SEN. CLINTON?

YOU ARE NOT THE NOMINEE, SO PLEASE STOP WITH ALL THIS FOOLISHNESS AND CONCEDE. LET'S MOVE ON AND FOCUS ON WINNING IN NOVEMBER!

ALL ABOARD!!

"Rightfully hers"? Uhhhh... right. This does point to the whole 'entitlement' attitude that hurt most of Clinton's campaign. As for a write-in let's see..... split the Democratic party in two with half for Obama and the other for Clinton. The vote would more or less be McCain 50%, Clinton 25% and Obama 25%. This campaign already works with some creative and debatable math. But this idea is way out there. I suppose the general election could go to the supreme court with the argument that the Obama votes are rightfully hers and that she beat McCain?

I dont think it was a serious post above anyways. Just something to generate responses. In other words, a certain type of post that begins with a 'T'. The thing is, I am sure that are many Clinton supporters who genuinely believe it.

Clinton supporters, please stop to think before you say you'll vote for McCain. I understand you are disappointed, but "drinking the poison and hoping that Obama gets sick" is just plain non-sense. Think about yourselves, your children and your country. Vote for what is in your best interest – vote democrat – no matter what!!

Speaker Pelosi: I've lost a lot of respect for you.

Hey voice of reason–It would be nice to have you on bored..."

Count me in, I'm bored with Obama already. His rhetoric and meaningless phrases leave me cold. Too bad you real democrats coudn't get on board with the real candidate...the one who could actually win in November.

I'd totally support a write-in campaign for Hillary since I'm not going to vote for either McCain or Obama.

In an interview Hillary said she would tell all 17-million voters who voted for her to vote for McCain...Senator Obama and against Senator McCain . Got her message across

Now she is asking voters to write-in and tell her what to do.
write-in Got her message across
How come she doesn't know what to do? If she doesn't know what to do, do we need her for president or vice president? NO

What I find most profound about this whole situation is the inability of the DNC to get Hilary to sit down....Republicans never have these types of issues. Being a Democrat, it is sad to see that the Republican Party Leaders have a much more firm grip than Democratic leaders.....Hilary could not pull this junk with the Republicans....You dont see Mike Huckabee attempt any of this. As of matter of fact, they forced him out of the race!!!!

I have no doubt that many of the folks recommending Hillary write-in votes and McCain protest-votes are really Republicans trying to manipulate the disappointment of Hillary's supporters. Hopefully most Clinton supporters are far more rational about their own self-interests than that, and will not try to undermine a Democratic win in the fall.

. . . . That's right Nancy. Regulate.

RUN INDEPENDENT HILLARY

JIMBO,

GET OVER IT, THE PRIMARY IS DONE AND OBAMA HAS WON. ARE YOU PLANNING TO HELP HER PAY OFF HER $20 MILLION DEBT? MAYBE YOU AND HER SUPPORTS CAN HOLD FUND RASIERS TO PAY BACK ALL THOSE VENDORS THAT SHE STILL OWES MONEY TO.

Pelosi and the DNC have been manipulating this selection process from the very beginning in Obamas favor.

More people voted for Hillary than Obama.....the majority of Americans have said NO to Obama.!

Hillary supporters are going to stay strong and support Hillary all the way to the convention!

If you want our votes you better respect our candidate and respect our voices.

Here we go! Obam is the nominee!

No need to waste all that money on a convention, Pelosi has spoken. Too bad she could not do her job and bring charges to impeach the Bush admin. Good luck with re-election Nancy...

Send a CLEAR MESSAGE to Hillary, won't you??

She LOST.......He WON!!!!!

Either she supports him or she GETS OUT OF THE WAY.

Hillary has become IRRELEVANT in the extreme.

We are women, hear us roar? Did you happen to see how many women were on that board? Also, remember, there were more Clinton supporters on that board than Obama. Time to take a reality check.

Nancy Pelosi for VP!

Hillary is very selfish. Her speech last night was all about her and most of her campaign has been about her… and those whole thing that the Clinton’s never loose… I was really pondering the idea of Hillary as VP but after last night speech, she better move on! She has intentionally isolated her supporters and created this wall between her’s and Obama’s. Again is all about her and the Clinton’s.

OBAMA 08!

I am an Independent, who has not supported one candidate over another. If all Americans think for one minute we have a voice in this or any election forth coming you are mistaken. The elections are manipulated to sever the few high-powered in government.
Just look at the events of this campaign.
Lets be honest here, from day one the news media has been bias. They have not been fair to the candidates, nor given Americans the real truth behind the stories. They broadcast what they want us to hear and know. Have you ever noticed the clips they choose to show, clips that in most cases then not are negative, without out revealing the actual truth behind it.
The talking heads you see before your TV screens get there marching orders from the higher ups, who have already set the agendas.
These self-severing originations from the onset, picked a candidate and proceeded
To influence the American people with propaganda. The news media, journalist and ill informed annoying talking heads are part of America’s problem!

Sympathy for Senator Clinton, I think not! PROUD YES INDEED!!! She is a fighter, strong with many years of experience. She represents millions of strong Americans who will support her in whatever path she chooses.

Let us go forward, remembering that we have a real fight ahead. John McCain will laugh himself all the way to the White House while Democrats hiss and scratch one another to pieces.

It is out with the old guard and in with the new! Get behind our candidate or face another term or two of Republican presidency.
Think long and hard if all the in party warring is worth that.

screw the VP. now that hillary isn't running – i will definitely vote for McCain

Obama need Hiliary and her supporters to win the election, he has too much baggage to win and I hope she do not take the VP, she is too smart for that position, in any case if she do we will still not vote for them, don't worry we will take four more years of McCain then Hiliary can run again

Obama is the presumitive nominee. Until the conventions, no one including McCain, are the nominees. the convention is when the actual votes will be given, until then anything can happen. I will wait until the convention to see the actual results. Out of three possible scenarios on popular votes, Obama is ahead in only one. He is not my nominee. If he is the actual nominee in August and that seems likely, I will at that time know how I will vote in November. I suspect I will have to vote for Hillary, by write-in.

VP Clinton? Oooo! Wouldn't that be sweet!? We'd get two for the price of one!

Obama watch your back if you're naive enough to pick Hillary as VP. She'd do anything to get the President position – and I mean *ANY*thing. You can see it in her eyes.

Pelosi is a joke. Her and Reid have done nothing in the congress or senate. Now they want to tell us they know best, even Obama who voted FOR the Bush/Cheney energy bill.

She was never neutral, Pelosi hates the Clintons, worried about loosing her position as most powerful woman in DC and would have done anything to see Obama win.

Pelosis continues to be a divider by saying no to an Obama/Clinton ticket. Beware of those who speak with fork tongue!

Hey Nancy, why don't you give Hillary a call, and explain all this to her.

I completely agree with Brian from NJ! Those of you, Hillary supporters, who want to 'write her in' or have her run as an independent are simply voting for McCain.

VOTING FOR MCCAIN:

MORE WAR, POSSIBLY WITH IRAN

MORE DEBT, $10 TRILLION AND MOUNTING

MORE PEOPLE HAVING TO DECLARE BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE OF MEDICAL DEBT

MORE LOSS OF JOBS

MORE PROFITS FOR BIG OIL

MORE CHILDREN WITHOUT HEALTH CARE

MORE OF THE ELDERLY WITHOUT HELP

MORE RECESSION....... MORE ENEMIES SINCE HE WONT MEET WITH THEM.......... MORE DEAD SOLDIERS FROM A LONG, LONG WAR IN IRAQ.

So go ahead and vote for McCain, hope you will be proud of yourselves as our country declines and slips into bankruptcy.

I hope he makes it; not because it will be very unconventional, but he is the right candidate and this is the right time. We need sweeping change in a post-Bush reality.

Hillary supporters, Please motivate her to run as Independent. She will do it , if you ask so.
Atleast that way she wont be the VP
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Charlene,
Obama is the nominee.... What you are suggesting is pretty irresponsible.

Why does a great person look small? When they are unable to see beyond today. Hillary Clinton should have let the greatness within her show forth during her speech yesterday. She should not have needed reminders from the House Speaker that the fight was over. A truly great person would know when to fight and when the fight is truly over. She might be a "fighter," but why beat against the air?

Greatness demands that you recognize that there is a tomorrow and that today is afterall just a snapshot in time. There is going to be another tomorrow and so many other opportunities. Great people live to fight another day – and win.

More power to you Speaker Pelosi; go on; lead with your firm hand. The Democratic Party will remember you well!

Hillary is the "real winner"
Obama is a fool that convinced a lot of bigger fools to vote for him....thanks zombies!!!!
I will NEVER vote for him
either Hillary as an independantor or McCain
NEVER OBAMA

Charlene, Charlene...

Have you found your way into Clintonville? A wonderous place just around the bend from The Twight Zone, where fact is fiction and the Clinton's can still win the White House...

The thing you seem to be unaware of is that Hillary is NOT too popular with Indpendents and according to some pundits many of those who would vote for her are not all that keen on writing....

How come Hillary Clinton needs some time to concede? As long as I have been voting, I can't remember any candidate not conceding on the same night that it was over. Is her ego that big that she can't let go and say someone else has won fair & square? She needs to learn how to be humble. I have read some books on her and I guess this late in life she never will. If Obama picks her for VP, he is going to have his hands full with her and Bill. Also, it will help her to run again for president. Knowing what I have read about her, she's not done yet. She is all about Hillary, not the people or the democratic party.

Most of these post about Hillary as a write-in are from the Repubs. It's interesting that their best strategy this year has been to devide the Democratic party. Even the right wing talk shows are pushing to devide the dems rather than talk up their own issues. Sad. But I guess if your nominee admits to know little about the economy and is actually a HUGE supporter of extending the war in Iraq, it's probabaly best NOT to talk about the issues

Let me guess….all the losers are screaming now to put Billary on the ticket so she can get his MILLIONS paid for….Bill is all mouth, but won't put his money where his mouth is…(and he has lots of mouth)…you don't think he wants to dip into his Columbia money to pay for something he says "she's entitled" to.

What a bunch of losers…they're scrambling to weasle out of the hole they've dug and laughing all the way to the bank with a "little boys $400 bike money"…true sleezebags.

Pelosi is a real jerk. She said in March Obama was the pick. Goes to show how she cares about every vote. Does not matter anymore, the Democrats have lost this election.

Jimbo, I AM WOMAN and thankfully I don't run my life on emotions. That's why my candidate won! I don't think emotions can fill my tank, pay my mortgage or paid for my children's college education. Next time, tell your candidate not to count her chickens before they hatch. She was not treated unfairly, she played the game and trust me, while you supporters are stewing, ranting, raving and all upset over this, she'll be moving towards her next position and working to get the party unified. She has a name and reputation to protect. Get over being upset or you will definitely need her healthcare plan to pay your medical bills. Life is too short.

the people spoke and voted for HIllary- she won the popular vote- it was the Super Delagates who picked Obama... What's the use of even voting?????

Charlene

Do you really think the majority of clinnton supporters will write in Hillary.

The uneducated supporters won't know how or where to write it in.

Give it up girl! Don't be a sore loser or allow Hillary to use your vote as a weapon for her own personal gain.

Do you have no self respect?

Hillary is using her supporter for her own personal gain.

If it was truely about her what was best for her supporters she would be throwing her support to the democrate in order to help get the health care they need. Instead it is all about what Hillary thinks "she" deserves.

Her actions of DRAMA are why she lost. America is tired of Clinton drama!

Always about clintons
Always about drama

Tell Hillary it is not about her. It really is about what is best for America.

She needs to get over "What she feels she deserves."

Poor losers!

It's over for us Democrates. Might as well get ready for another 4 years of Republicans-I hope the Obama supporters are ready to hand the WH back to the Republicans again. Thanks for ruining a good thing

Obama will not win in Nov.

Why can't people know when to bow out? HRC lost, she should bow out and work with BO to unite the party. Her supporters who pretend that they would not vote for BO are not Democrats. A democrat will not vote for Mc Cain unless your true feeling is that you can't vote for someone who is not 100% white or 100% black.
The primaries are over, please let unite and to kick republicans out. Being a woman or not, you are a democrat. Votes are in, there is a winner that's the bottom line

I see all the Hillary supporters(upset) talking about running as independent, write in etc etc.. first of all she is $30 Million in debt. 2) True dems, will vote for the nominee who shares common values and policies. For those who will not vote for BO, can just stay home.

Hillary missed a great opportunity Tuesday night to go out with style and grace, and to increase her future viability. As of today, she looks like a sore loser. Obama followed the rules and won, fair and square. Those who want to blame sexism ignore the fact that her own campaign admit they did not prepare for campaigns past super tuesday or participate in the caucus states. Thus, Clinton lost 10 states in a row and people started giving Obama a look. I guess they liked what they saw. As someone who voted for Clinton in the primary, I'll gladly support Obama. Already sent him money. And for all you women out there: remember that McCain will pick at least two SCourt justices and you can say goodby to choice.

Hey some one needs to set down with Hillary and talk to her.

HRC supporters–please do your research. 1. It's too late in most states to even get on the ballot as an Independent and 2. going to Denver will NOT get HRC the nomination, it will only insure that HRC is done politically. I don't get why she keeps stringing you along, unless it's to get you to donate money to pay off her HUGE DEBT.

Jimbo wrote ..WE ARE WOMEN, HEAR US ROAR!!!!

You do not represent women in America. You represent a bitter and selfish group. Get out of your narrow mind and hopefully you might see the sunlight. If not, you will live a very dark life.

I dropped out of the Democratic party today and will vote for McCain in November, and I've been a Democrat for 30 years.

McCain '08, Clinton '12

When are the Hillary supporters going to read the newspaper and see the headlines – she LOST, Obama WON the nomination! Hillary cannot win now – this part of the process ended last night. Now we must focus on the big picture and turn our attention to November and ensure that we put our support toward Obama and ensure McCain does not move into the White House! If Hillary would do the honorable deed and concede, the party can begin to heal and move forward.

Pelosi is one bright woman. Sure she isn’t on the “short list”?

Yes, Hillary has done a remarkable job and she has run one historic campaign, but her unwillingness to acknowledge Obama as the winner, makes her look like a sore loser. People are going to remember this not her hard fought campaign. Time for Hillary to concede this election.

Congratulations to all the parents of the the young voters who taught their children to avoid the bigotary which was unfortunately present in many families of past generations.
These parents have done a wonderful job in teaching their children to love their neighbor and not to pre judge others whose cultures seem foriegn to them but to learn and enjoy what is good about each other.

American parents! Congratulations to you for improving race relations so that an American such as Obama could be chosen as the Democratic Presidental nominee.
God Bless America!

OH BOY OBAMA/PELOSI – I can't think of anything that would make better toilet paper than that. Where do some of you people come up with your ideals. Hillary supporters I know you know better because PELOSI has been creating as much problems for Hillary as she could. She does not want any woman there with more power than her stupitiy can muster. Since she has been speaker what has the congress accomplished. Right? 0

That's a GREAT IDEA HILLARY run as an Independent or we can simply write her name in. At least it will keep votes away from the SNAKE>

Jimbo,

When was Hillary annointed Queen?

Rightfully hers???!!!

SHE LOST, wake up!

@ Charlene; everyone on the blog know that you are a Republican. Give it a rest. Find something more creative to do with you free time.

Charlene wrote – HILLARY AS A INDEPENDENT OR WRITE IN, SHE CAN STILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE

Hillary can't run as an Independent. It is too late. She will be lucky to get into 10 state ballots. Even Nader who came in as an Independent in February got only 24 to 28 state ballots.

So stop thinking about creating a division and start uniting the party.

Nancy,
Please call Hillary and let her know!

Honestly....the older militant feminist is becomming horribly embarressing to the daughters they raised. Not only that but may be the downfall of everything they accomplished.

We're going after Pelosi and Dean next. Both have been trying to derail Clinton's campaign since February by their continual requests in asking her to drop out. How many states has she won since then? How many times did Pelosi ask delegates to commit BEFORE the race was even over?

With Pelosi's and Reid's extremely poor ratings–lower than Bush's–these two, along with Dean, Kerry and Kennedy, should have their butts kicked out of the party for trying to subvert the democratic process. Why in heck did anyone even vote knowing that delegates and superdelegates would decide who our candidate would be? They have literally sickened me with their strong-arm tactics and because of their shenanigans, I will be switching parties after 30 years of voting for democrats.

Regardless, I want to congratulate all the Obamanites on their win.

Pelosi is worse than bush. She tried to stop supply's from going to our troops. If anyone cares more for her self than her country it is her.

If Hillary is tougher against McCain, then we are still waiting to hear and see this fierce Clinton strike back against the Republican Smear Machine.

Jimbo says, "Hear women roar". SO SHOW US HRC!

if hillary runs as an independent, then mccain will win. i was rooting for her, but now it's obama. fine w/ me. anyone but mccain.

Hillary doesn't have as much hold on the 17 million voters as she thinks. First of all she will lose the PR votes because they can't vote in the general. I know there has to be at least half (8.5 million) of these people who are true democrats and will vote for the Dem. candidate. Add Obama's over 17 million voters and Obama doesn't need Hillary. He didn't need her to get this far. How about Pelosi for VP. SHe has real experience, riding on her own name and credentials and she seems to be a team player.

Jimbo is a Republican spreading Operation Chaos....NOT THIS TIME!!! What a loser. LOL

OMG some hillary supporters are still campaigning. haha

Well that shows how misguided they are!

Don't waste a write in. It won't count and they don't have too make it count. It is really symbollic. Ladies it's over. She lost. I think you all are acting extremely irratiional. You all are not feminist, I don't know what you are. Because she and her supporters are just being silly now. I wonder if Obama was not the second place person and it was someone else would they act like this or would they just accept it as it is and move on. They is something extremely strange about the behavior of some of these people. Like there is some alterior motive within this little core group of people. Because someone who's negatives are so high does not garner this type of hype. So it leads me too believe that there is someone or something behind this force.

It's biased rhetoric like Nancy Pelosi's that's driving me & millions of other supporters like me to vote Republican should Hillary not run as Independent. Hillary's true supporters are not deserting her in and if she's not running, it's: Hello, John McCain! See ya later, Nancy!

CHARLENE –

The only thing Hillary will win is the WHITE vote of the racist that will not vote for a black man! The good news is, there are fewer of them still living!

Get over yourself and get on the DEMOCRATIC band wagon!!!!

I LOVE YOU PELOSI!!

They do not need to share a thicket. She would have to work very close to him and if the truth is to be told I will tell it. She cannot be trusted, she has said and done some dangerous things and and never said she was sorry. All you could get out of her if she had it to do over. Mr. Obama does not need her or her husband because they will do anything to keep him out of the white house. He should be able to make his own choice.

Write in Hillary, elect McCain.

How can you believe which part of her Botox mouth is moving. OBAMA divided the party. NOT all DEMOCRATS will in the future support ARROGANT BARACK HUSSAIN OBAMA.
Hillary was a TRUE AMERICAN.

IF HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS WANT TO CONTINUE TO PAY $5 FOR GAS AND LOSE THEIR HOMES, LET THEM VOTE REPUBLICAN, I'M SURE ALL OF THEM AREN'T MILLIONAIRES.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! THE RACE IS OVER

Obama is the nominee, democrats. Vote for him or we all suffer.

And this is for anyone who says "Clinton or McCain": You are an idiot. Clinton and Obama agree on virtually everything and disagree with everything McCain stands for. So if you give a hoot about the issues, and would've voted Clinton, vote Obama. The longer a Dem is in the White House (and Hillary can run in 2016 for all I care, she'll still be younger and healthier than McCain is now), the better for all of us.

Anyone who says that Obama "needs clinton supporters" that would otherwise vote McCain: you are wrong. Polling proves it. It'd be nice to have you on bored, but if you want to be sore and cry about how your candidate blew it, get over yourselves.

I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE FOR HILLARY, BUT NOT AS V.P. PLEASE RUN AS INDEPENDENT.

Republicans posing as Democrats are against Hillary as VP.
They no they can't win with both on a ticket.

I am writing in Hillary in November if she isn't Obama's VP.

To "An American" – are you mad becasue people are voting for who they want, let the people vote, this is America, and you should no that as "An American".

If Obama doesn't win the presidency, I will hold Hillary responsible and I will never vote for her on any ticket in the future.

charlene June 4th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

HILLARY AS A INDEPENDENT OR WRITE IN, SHE CAN STILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE
----------------------------------

-my god...stop this madness...look he won ok...they both ran a good race and in the end one was going to win and it was Obama...now if you are actually a democrat you will also rally behind him as she will in the coming days....if you truly beleived in clinton and her ideas you could never vote for McCain...he is the polar opposite of Hillary while Barack and her have no sunlight between them...this is just a cut off your nose to spite your face tactic by many and it is truly sad...Country over individualistic ambitions...that is what Clinton will show when conceding and will show by fighting for Obama to be in the white house.

We despise Obama and Pelosi!!! Unite Clinton supporters and vote McCain!!!

"think the message was clear last night. The people have spoken" – what was clear last night was Obama won 1 state and Hillary won the other, her win was over shadowed by the fact that 30+ Supers decided to go for Obama. Hillary won the popular vote but cant win the elitist left side of the party.

Write in Hillary 08'

To all those people who are saying they will vote for McCain instead of Obama because Hillary didn't win..to all those people who wantt o write in Hillary..think about it logically. If you help John McCain, it's goodbye Roe v Wade..it's goodbye to a woman's right to choose...goodbye to an end to the war. Think about it before you do it. It's one thing to say you'd support McCain out of spite, it's another when you think of the actual ramifications. Don't do anything you're going to regret. Come together, do what's right. Get Obama into office. I know you're upset it's not HIllary, but he is infinitely better than the alternative now.

And Nancy, you are a witch.

I think it is so funny that someone would make a comment that if Obama loses it is our (Hillary supporters) fault. So what you are saying is you lack confidence in your candidate.

I remind myself that it's not about a candidate but about the future of our country. If I was to be selfish, I would say have Hillary no where in site of the Democratic party, win or lose. I think her and Bill need to be ousted and never to return. She has given women a bad reputation. For men like myself who was reared by strong women, consider Hillary to be a selfish, evil individual. I think I'll stop here...

I would like to know Hillary supporters, are you still going to vote for McCain after Hillary endorses Obama?

Hillary lost. She needs now to tap into the bank account of Bob Johnson her billionaire surrogate to pay her debts. he can then "hire" her as VP of his enterprises and run it into the ground as she did her own campaign. She does not have the character or real experience to run the country, but with her cut throat and ruthless persona, she she should do well in the devious world of lobbyist and big business. Speaking of her big monied friends and 18 million supporters, why the heck is she still in debt? What is the sum now anyway? She is at the very least morally bankrupt. No disrespect to her supporters but why have they not paid up and would they finance her as an independent? LL Cool J, "I don't think so"

hillary needs to run independent after the way that they treated her.pelosi needs to do her job and focus on bring r troops home instead of having pressured the superdelegates to back abama. when is this womans time up....she needs to fine the next exit. hillary independent r mccain...08

I second that motion!!!!

YES WE CAN!

Hilary won the most popular votes, those so call superdelegates and
the DNC committe rob her of it, and are going to pay a high price come November, we are going to vote for MCCain, they thought she was not good enough for president so why now they want her to help Obama? please some one tell me why,

yes, what a great ticket that would make obama/pelosi and please never obama/hillary that woman is a devil am telling you.
she likes division and confusion which is the spirit of the devil.

Careful, sounds like you're going out on a limb there.

Will somebody please tell Hillary!!!!! I wonder how different things would be if these roles were reversed. Everybody and their momma would be telling Obama to concede and support Hillary, but all of a sudden, we want to be nice and let her take her time. How much time has she had to realize that there was no mathematical way she could win. It shows that she really believed her own hype. I like Hillary, but during this campaign she has acted like a spoiled brat. Oh, yeah, she was SUPPOSED to win because she's a Clinton. The man from Chicago had another plan, plus a better run organization. You can't be mad at him because of that. Don't be a bunch of sore losers. Support Barack. He definitely would have supported Hillary had she won. His speech showed the caliber of character that he has, whether her supporters choose to see it or not.

Pelosi should keep her mouth shut, and carter should do the same because, When Carter took office in 1977, he received a moderately growing economy in which inflation was 5.4 percent and interest rates were around 8 percent. When he left office, the Soviets were entrenched in Afghanistan, Iranian students had been holding US State Department personnel and US Marines hostage for 444 days, the American military had been gutted by the administration's post-Vietnam cutbacks, American prestige was in tatters abroad and inflation was in the double digits and interest rates were so high it was impossible for Americans to finance large purchases like homes and cars. Carter's administration is without a doubt the worst in modern American history, yet Carter himself blamed his failures on a "national malaise". This "malaise" kept his Democratic party out of power for 12 years; even today it wrestles to free itself from Carter's legacy.

Jimmy Carter was a failure within the United States and the admission of North Korea only shows once again that he is a failure abroad as well. A Nobel Prize will never obscure these facts.

OBAMA/PELOSI is the Dream Ticket!!! Hillery had her chance. She brings too much negative baggage (Bill for one).

Love you, Speaker Pelosi. You are the powerful "Mom" leader that Matt was describing on ABC, the kind America wanted from Hillary.

It's time to move on and media needs to stop talking about Hillary. It means nothing that Hillary hasn't conceded because it doesn't change the fact that Obama is the nominee.

Democrats, enjoy your time in the spotlight; the "Work", is still ahead. The time to really do something, is coming; then the "Party", will be over. Thank you, G.W.Bush..... for keeping us safe in this dangerous world, I for one Thank you!......God bless you! and God bless America, too.....................

The people have spoken? I thought Hillary won the popular vote. It's more like, "the people who obviously know more than the rest of us have spoken."

Pelosi... You are a coward. All those things you and the Democrats said they would do in 2006 to stop Bush were a bunch of lies. You all backed down every time and gave in to Bush's veto threat or because you were afraid to be labeled as not caring about the troops if you stood up against Bush actions. You and Dean should just quit the Democratic party. I'm switching back to Independent. Your talk has proven cheap, just like Obama's.

charlene.Please try to underatand! Hillary is a looser.ITS OVER...

Congrats to Obama!!! Our next Pres. of U.S. Change We Can Believe In. I Love It.!!! WH No Place For Clintons!! – No Veep.

Let's see....what is Pelosi's approval rating?...oh, that's right...it is lower than GWB's...

"...The people have spoken, the elections are over for the nomination."

Yes the people have spoken and Hillary has won the popular vote.

To the best of my knowledge, the nominee will be chosen at the convention in Denver. I think this venue will differ greatly from the RBC meeting we witnessed May 31.

Please note that we are Americans and we have the right to have our voices heard.

Obama is underqualified.

Hillary will be president in 2012. Doesn't matter which of the other two losers wants to mess up the next 4 years.

Obama has had this in the bag since Super Tuesday. He got to where he's at without Hillarys support and can take it the rest of the way without her.

Take it to the convention!

Senator Clinton – There is a comment on this story that you should run as an independent. For the good of the party and the country, you need to stop such talk. The presumptive Democratic candidate is Barack Obama. You need to say so, Senator.

CHARLENE–
She cannot and will not win the White House. Please join in and help the democrats win with the Democratic PARTY candidate, Barak Obama, rather than throwing your vote to HRC as a third party (no party) spoiler candidate for President. Please respect and support the will of the voters, who selected Obama through Delegates, which is the way the Democratic Candidate selection process works. (Hence Obama's strategy to win Delegates and Delegate voters).

Pelosi should focus on doing something productive in Congress...since she became the speaker of the house, she has sure spoken a lot, but I haven't seen much positive coming from all of the talk

Obama/Pelosi (2008)

That is a winning ticket!!!!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the woman that represents the “modern woman”...she has not let the generations of women that came before her down.

Nancy Pelosi reminds me of a woman that stands up for what she believes is right, and does it without being a bully. God bless you.

Thank you Nancy Pelosi for being a woman that all women can be proud of and look up to...

I take me hat off to a true democrat...Nancy Pelosi leads by example.

Very good Pelosi. When will Hillary give up. I am so ashamed of her and hope that she is not the VP. And to think I was her supporter at the beginning

Amen. Bravo Pelosi! We are proud to have you represent us.

"HILLARY AS A INDEPENDENT OR WRITE IN, SHE CAN STILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE"

No, she can't. She is too late to throw her name in as Independent. The best you can do is write her in come November, split the Democratic vote and hand McCain a victory. Is that what all of you really want?

CNN..stop deleting my comments..

is the worst SIN....Hillary.

Get OVER yourself.

dream on Pelosi, I wouldn't vote for you for dog catcher.

Take it to Denver!!!

Yes!
Thanks for coming out and stating what should make sense to everyone!

SURE CHARLENE, how come 30% of CLINTON supporters are as delusional as her?

Charlene,

You are very dilusional and should go and get some therapy – I know maybe you and HRC can get a 2 for 1 deal!

If the nomination went the other way you would be telling us Obama supporters to quit crying because she won. – Get over it!

Time to move on and it looks as though everyone save a few nuts are agreeing.

OBAMA 08!!!! Way to Go

I guess Pelosi thought we needed her to get up and tell us that after we already knew?

Dream on Charlene. As an Independent, she wouldn't win nothing. Do you think that the Republicans who voted for her are going to support her against McCain. People open your eyes.

Charlene, you are as delusional as Hillary Clinton.

Sorry, but Hillary could not beat Obama in the primary. How could Hillary beat Obama and McSame in the General election as a write in or independent? Please, all democrats, independents, and angry republicans, Obama wants us to move forward together, as a country, and show the world what America is all about.

time for hillary to go home until called,for white house plumber.shes great with sinks.

TO CHARLENE....HILLARY LOST...IT'S OVER....SHE CAN NOT WIN THE WHITE HOUSE....WRITE HER IN IF YOU WANT....GOOD LUCK

Mrs. Pelosi:

Thank you for getting the delegates rolling on this. You have shown what true leadership is.

DID YOU SAY SHE REMAINED NEUTRAL THROUGHOUT THE PRIMARY. What a load of crap, excuse my bluntness. This woman has been jealous of hillary Clinton and it has shown. Please Hillary run as a INDEPENDENT, lets show the Democrats this year. She might not win but it would for sure split the DEMS down the middle, HEY thats what they have been saying anyways.

Charlene...you're in denial, SERIOUSLY !!!

I read Pelosi has under 20% and she decides, well this democrat is going Mc Cain.
George Bush's vision for Democracy was as good as this vision for America and visions don't always work and sometimes with enough mistakes can have devastating consequences.

If Obama doesn't win the presidency, Hillary supporters will be to blame with all that write-in nonsense. Way to go TRUE Democrats!

THANK YOU PELOSI SOMEBODY HAD TO TELL THE TRUTH AND LET IT BE KNOWN

It's time all of us unite and fight!!!! If we do Hillary will take back what is rightfully hers!!! Hillary can expose the sexism that is rampant within the DNC and by doing so destroy and castrate that wholly male instrument. We must not let the fact that Obama received as many popular votes as Hillary dissuade us!!! We must not let the fact that Obama received more pledge delegates interfere!!!! We must not let the fact the Obama received more super delegates silence our screams. WE ARE WOMEN, HEAR US ROAR!!!!

Hillary can still win as long as she continues to run her campaign the way her women supporters run their lives; with an absence of logic and decisions based purely on emotion.

HILLARY FOR PRES. IN '09

Charlene,

Take a deap breath and recognize she lost. I understand the frustration since it was so close, but she lost. Writing her name in is a vote for McCain, more conservative judges on the Supreme Court and in lower federal courts, and a possible overtun of Roe v. Wade. Is your write-in worth that???

Her and Obama are 99% the same on issues. It's HER fault she lost, not the DNC's or the medias. She does not have the money to launch an independent campaign and no loyal democrat would support it (no Rendell, Bayh, Schumer, etc)

Of course, Charlene me be a Republican hoping people write her name in.

Its Time For Hillary To Give Her CONCESSION SPEACH!

thank you Pelosi for clearing this little fuzzy matter up for those who still think that Hil-lusional-ry should be the nominee. she put up a good fight but at the end of the day she lost and she needs to realize this as well as her supporters. it's not the US of Hillary and Family it is about the United States of America and she needs to realize this and help us move on TO THE WHITE HOUSE

^^^ absurd people like this... I simply cant understand

"Horlet: This is far more than historic, it is a paradigm changing. You have to know people who were born in the segregated South to really understand this. People who could not try on shoes in shoe stores so they had to trace their shoes on cardboard so they wouldn't defile the shoes. To really understand what this means you have to consider it in the background of this country.

It is empowering. It is historic. It is a dream come true and I love it in every cell of my body. He won running a clean campaign with the right people supporting him. Now it is on to the Presidency and I am happier than happy."

How quickly people forget and hwo widely people are unaware of America's tortuous history. If you look at this nomination in PROPER perspective, you have no other choice but to find this absolutely amazing, astonishing, awesome, and awe-inspiring!!!!

Obama NOW-'16 and beyond for the continued positive influence he will have throughtout this nation and our world.

You continue to publish articles that say Pelosi remained neutral throughout the race. No one believes that... we're not dumb!

I disagree. Hillary needs to put the Party ahead of her "need" to unwine from a "stressful" nomination process. She needs to be a leader and concede today so that her followers will have enough time to understand that throwing a vote away only hurts themselves and our country. This is our system people...you don't like it? Change it. But until that day, why cut off your nose in spite of yourself?

How dare she say that "the people have spoken" and therefore Obama is the nominee! The majority of the people voted for Hillary! Comments like this do not serve to "unite" us. Fat chance.

ITS NO BODY,S BUSINESS IF O.B. PICKS HRC FOR VP. ITS HATERS LIKE YOU THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE O.B. LOOSE IN NOV. O.B. PICKS HRC ,BECAUSE HE KNOWS THEY WOULD BE UNBEATABLE TEAM, AND THE BEST FOR OUR COUNTRY. PROBLEM IN THIS RACE IS HIS HATINGSUPPORTERS.,O.B. WANTS UNITY NOT HATE. HE WOULDN'T BE HAPPY WITH HIS SUPPORTERS IF HE KNEW THE HATE. O.B. ADMIRES HRC. POLITICS ARE LIKE WAR, YOU DO
ANYTHING TO WIN. YOU YOUNG VOTERS WOULDN'T KNOW. YOU CARE NOTHING ABOUT YOUR CANIDATE IF YOU SHOW HATE. O.B. WANTS UNITY. UNITY ISN'T HATE.

Let's unite behind Obama to defeat the Republicans. I think that
Obama should wait until the convention to make his choice for VP. Meanwhile Clinton should get on board the Obama Nation Express and do everything in her control to help pull the party back together. All this VP talk now is counter productive and premature. And when the time comes, the Obama compaign will decide on who it thinks will be the candidate that bests helps them beat the Republicans.

ITS BEEN OVER. HILLARY SUPPORTERS CAN GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN AND WATCH YOUR JOBS DISAPPEAR. THEN AGAIN I THINK SOME OF YOU WOULD RATHER STARVE THAN VOTE FOR OBAMA.

HAPPY STRUGGLING TO YOU.

why do we vote if delegates and super delegates decide who the candidate will be what happened to the popular vote

Hey! Charlene, Are you an American or what?

I think the country would be served well if we just IGNORE Clinton. She lost! Lets not give her anymore of our time or media coverage. She will then have to move on and out of the way if we stop paying attention to her. I absolutely understand the hurt feelings about losing but the mature way to handle it is not to make a spectical of yourself by not accepting reality. It would be very difficult for Obama to govern in the White House with Hillary/Bill as the VP's. The would undermine everything he would try to accomplish. He and his campaign advisors were keen enough to get him this far. Let's trust that he'll make the right decision for a VP on his own without his hand being forced.

Obama '08

charlean
why do you want to keep trouble going
i know
you are republican
well teell hill to run with john

Charlene – Hillary could also gather an army and parachute right on to the roof.

For cryin out loud.

Read my lips:
*S*H*E* *L*O*S*T*!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FINALLY!! THE HRC SUPPORTERS NEED TO GET A CLUE. I UNDERSTAND YOU GUYS ARE BUTT HURT BUT YOU NEED TO STOP ALL THIS IGNORANCE. OBAMA WON. STOP WHINNING BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR WAY!!

OBAMA 2008!

I guess HRC has to be dragged off stage ticking and screeming.

All Democrats unite behind Senator Obama! he will be our next President! Horray for the USA!!!

Crawl back under your rock Pelosi.

Charlene!!! It's time to wake up! The dream is over and you're late for school again!

Get over it, Hill folks. It's done!

truer words were never spoken thank you Pelosi and now can someone please tell Hil-lusional-ry so that she finally understands what it means to come in 2nd place.

cnn you better post this comment

Senator Clinton ran a honorable campaign. I commend her on the many victories she has achieved on behalf of the working poor, and women all across this country. Her future in the Democratic party is vert bright as long as she toas the party line. She can continue to hold her seat and become a legislator champion like Ted kennedy,run for Governor of New York, or ask Obama to give her a cabinet position of her choice in his administration. As much as she has done to Barack Obama, there is no doubt that everyone in the Obama campaign respects her and will let her exit gracefully. The time has to unify this party

I totally agree with Ms Pelosi. Hillary needs to move on so that the party can move on with the chosen nominee.

Nancy Pelosi said that the election was over with when Obama won super Tuesday. We know she help fix this nominee for Obama. Good luck in the General Election because you won't be able to fix that election.

Obama – Richerson 08

i couldn't have said it better thank you Pelosi for clearing this little fuzzy matter up maybe we need to send this memo to Hil-lusional-ry then she can finally concede

She is truly honorable lady. I would any day pick her over Hillary for the VP slot. However, its ultimately Obama's call.

PS – Hold Hillary accountable for her word to concede June 3rd if she wasn't the nominee...

thank you ms pelosi

Spoken like a true scank..

Communist.........................dingbat....

Vote McCain or join the insane

Pelosi and the DNC NOBAMA! 18 million Demorcats across this nation said so! Why? Too many unanswered questions. This is not about race or religion, only the weak minded and mean spirited boil it down to that; it is about who is able to make the weighty decisions the next President must face. Global Warming, War, Economic "downturn," Oil, Commodities, Health, Fresh Water, many issues spanning the global community await our next president. Obama simply is not experienced and has not proven his patriotism. The DNC picked the weaker candidate, giving unearned votes to Obama. Who is David and who is Goliath?
NOBAMA!

NO CLINTONS 4 VP!!!

Obama won the nomination because 90% of African Americans were voting for him, and no one could point that out without being called "racist". Hillary had the support of 60% of White Americans in some states, and she was asked to reject the votes of her racist supporters. Can someone make sense out of that? Obama won the nomination because of race, but he will lose the general election because people who watched this process unfold did not miss the essential unfairness of it all.

Thank You Ms. Pelosi!! Game Over!!

Obama '08

Keen insight into the obvious!

Pelosi can you please take Hillar and Bill aside and let them know. They seem to be confused.

You have been totally ineffective in your role as House Speaker, Nancy. And your jealousy of Hillary was and is disgusting. I hope she takes over your position so we can have a real House Speaker who can get the job done. I used to like you, but now I can barely even look at you.

Is it realistic, and are the people that are suggesting a Obama/Clinton Ticket, thinking that voters are so dense they will believe the two of them can work together for our good? I would have said "yes they can" if Mrs. Clinton had not been so rude and disrespectful of Obama for the past 2 months at the least. Her comments have been demeaning towards him and she is a "experienced" politician therefore they have been purposeful. She did not conduct herself like a "friend" or fellow democrat so Sis Nancy is CORRECT......this is not a good ideal and Sis Hillary will be Obama's JUDAS if for nothing else but she did not have time to recover and get therapy for her PTSD cause by he upstage from Obama. Hillary I know you didn't see it coming but I believe he is a man of his word you will get an important position, you deserve it for your past service. BTW, it is not Michelle Obama man job to foot your bills it is Bills place to support your debt

Pelosi is a true leader.

Every democrat should get behind Barack and show Hillary that she and Bill do not own this party and can not blackmail it's leadership.

Hillary used the words I and me more than 75 times in her speach last night. She used us and we less than 12 times. She used you about 20 times.

This is all about Hillary and Bill feeling like they own this party and that they are the only ones who know what is best for America. Well, I agree with the republicans, Hillary is a messsy character. That should not be on Barack;s ticket.

Barack Obama and Sam Nunn – 2008

Now that's a real smart and tough woman!

let's move forward...well spoken...hillary had her opportunity and lost...it is too bad she diid not take the high road in her campaign...sad really

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In your face Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't steal our thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This party will move forward without you and your bargining chips!

YES WE DID!

Go Obama!

I agree that HRC did an amazing job, and I now really think that it is just a matter of time before we have a female president. HRC has done a huge favor to all of us women by being willing to go the distance and be a great candidate, and I think it will be easier for women to enter politics because of HRC.

Pelosi praised Senator Clinton as a female trailblazer.

yet Pelosi is the trailblazer Clinton married well politically. no talent, just a big mouth and no shame. the woman will say anything.

Hillary doesn't need your condecension. You and Harry Reid are the main ones that pressured bigtime the superdelegates to vote early for your picked candidate to get him over the top, to be ready for the big celebration and posturing planned for Minneapolis.

I hope I live long enough to see her take your job or vote you out of it.
I am heartsick at what happened to her..........

calm down pelosi, will you do some work already and stop enjoying the spotlight?

Pelosi has well spoken it and we should be all on board.

Obama 08

Obama/ Pelosi '08

Mrs. Pelosi, please say it again to Mrs. Clinton who have a hard time to admit reallity. The people have spoken, the elections are over for the nomination. Barack Obama is the nominee of the Democratic party. Please grow up Mrs. Clinton, set your ego on the side and let all support our President Barck Obama for the unity of our country.

Obama '08

HILLARY AS A INDEPENDENT OR WRITE IN, SHE CAN STILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE

Democrats,
Go get the bad guys

I'm glad she came out and said something. What are the rest of the supers waiting for?. Don't they realize the party needs to come together. Are the supers being threatened by the Clinton machine?, afraid to hurt Hillarys feelings or what ?. You people are cowards.
And of course we are going to hear from all those women out there that feel betrayed by Pelosi, because she is not backing Hillary, and Hillary lost. Give it a rest ladies, our country will have a woman president one day, it just doesn't have to be Hillary.

I'm a middle aged woman that supports Obama !!

Yes, Obama/Pelosi 08 Great ticket.

No Obama/clinton ticket. All her supporters that want her on the ticket
should have given the idea more thought when they were criticizing
the frontrunner during the primary process. Too late now. No one
with good sense wants Billary in the WH. Her and Bill are finished
forever.

OBAMA doesnt need You Billary..!

IN The POLL of POLLS BARACK LEADS You BILLARY 52% to 41% NATION WIDE...
You are more Electable?? ON WHICH PLANET Billary?

He already respects your 17Million Imaginary Invisable People, white people.lol
HE will make sure all Americans have Health Care if they want it.
HE will make sure all Children can reach their maximum potential.
HE will End the War.

HE will Accomplish everything you always dreamed of for 35 years but never did. Even when you had 8 years in the White House but you or Bill still didn't do.

See yah Hellary

Try to make some time for Bill...so he can come in from the streets...
Ohh..and be sure to get an AIDS TEST.

Pelosi is correct! The uncommited superdelegates need to get off their rear ends and help heal the divisiveness and polarization caused by Hillary and her supporters.We all know that the only thing that Hillary cares about is Hillary! It is all about Hillary. She once again showed that she lacks character and integrity to make the critical decision. She showed tonight that this election was about Hillary, not the Democratic Party, not her supporters and certainly not about the country. Hillary is truly pathetic! It's time to get behind the successful nominee of the Democratic Party, Barack Obama, who will also be our next President.

Nancy Pelosi is a very strong, wise and pragmatic. She is just the type of person we need to lead us at the national level. Let's draft her as VP.

When Speaker Pelosi and the other Democrats elected in the last term did not keep their promises to the voters, they lost their credibility. So please don't say anything to us about anything.

I agree with you 100%. You speak the truth!

So begins the darkest chapter in American history. Affirmative action policies may have thrust the most unqualified candidate in the history of man into the most powerful position in the world. Thanks libs, I hope you are brushed up on your survival skills.

I am proud of the American public for making this happen. If you didn't and don't want to vote for him then don't be that person that reeps the rewards of what he will bring to this country. GOD BLESS YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!!!! You are truly a figure of whom I would like to see my children grow up under. Thank you so much.....

A corpse that won't lie down is called a zombie.

Hillary!!! Lie Down!!!!!

its about time someone put their foot down and stop sucking up to her. When she sees that the train is leaving without her she will jump on.

Who cares what Pelosi says, she is the worse house speaker this country has ever seen. She had better take a good look at the overall rating of the Democratic leadership, it is lower than Bush's rating. What does that say for her leadership. The comment that she has remained neutral is false, she talks out of both sides of her mouth and it is a big one at that.

How could Obama possibly have Clinton as is running mate? She doesn't even understand the meaning of the term "gracious concession". After years of having a president and VP who have been stubborn to the detriment of the US and the world we do not need another VP who has the same character trait...

So when are you going to endorse him as well, Pelosi ??

Obama/Sebelius

Yes the elections are over. Never mind the popular vote. Florida 2000 all over again.

Pelosi, Reid, Dean and the rest of the DNC will have to keep mum from now on. You all have overturned the will of the individual democrat.

john mccain is deaf to the people of america when it come to whether or not americans have a say in the war even though he says he answers to the people not the press,..and also.the press is a important part of the community..its people reporting to people whats going on in their world...john mccain measure the success in in iraq by combative strength not by political independence..john mccain trys to shadow his major role he has played in the bush administration with small talk..

Thank you Madam Speaker, l hope everyone will see the light and hear the truth from Madam..................Madam God will continue to lead you,.............remain blessed

I've always liked this lady. She tells it how it is and doesn't worry about petty backlash.

Good job Nancy. Now please ask Bob Johnson to just shut up

Nancy, you and Reid have done nothing for us since you took control of the government. Why don't you do your job instead of shoving Reverand Obama down our throats. It's bad enough we have to listen to his mouth for 6 months, now your too?

Pelosi is quickly becoming one of the most hated figures in Washington. She should spend more time actually doing the things she promised the American people and stop focusing on ways to frustrate Hillary.

"Meet me in DENVER!"

It has been a great primary season. We witnessed two historical campaigns. I'll never forget watching CNN as the super delegates poured in and the nomination became official. I look forward to the Democratic party coming together and winning offices across the country.

Nancy Peloci and Barack Huessien Obama supporters of Iran
Both discriminate Our Men and Women in uniform and support Iran
Shame on DNC

Barack Obama/Kathleen Sebelius '08, look the woman hasn't even conceded because acording to her... the universe owes her the crowning.

This is a great day for this country!!! I look forward to a future with Obama as president.

It is his decision, and his alone to choose who HE wants on his ticket. NO ONE has the right to make that decision or push him into one. He has won the nomination and it is his decision to make.

Pelosi is a joke. Her and Reid have done nothing in the congress or senate. Now they want to tell us they know best, even Obama who voted FOR the Bush/Cheney energy bill.

She was never neutral, Pelosi hates the Clintons, worried about loosing her position as most powerful woman in DC and would have done anything to see Obama win.

Pelosis continues to be a divider by saying no to an Obama/Clinton ticket. Beware of those who speak with fork tongue!

Spoken like a true democrat.

Obama/Pelosi '08

Good now go get on the phone and tell Hillary and Bill that! Tell then it is time to stand up for your nation and party and win this thing or time for you to go. I will not shed one tear for these two when they are gone they have done almost as much damage to the country and our party as they have done good.

obama has shown alot of good will throughout the race to reach out to Hillary. I hope she comes around our nominee and concede sooner than later. Time to heal and elect a democrat President!

I could not agree more. Now that the PARTY has decided that he won and will be responding that way any action, other than conceding, that Ms. Clinton takes from here on out will only lower the chances she will have of ever being a leader in the party. the supers WILL NOT turn against the party to supprt her no matter how often she asks.

It's his perogative, he can do what he wants to do.....

Hypocrite! This is not what you said a couple of weeks ago!

is a horrible disgrace of a politician

Somebody should tell her that embracing him does a discredit to Clinton because she is also a woman over the age of 45.

Pelosi, as I said before, it just another "good ole boy", part of the political machinery that shafted Clinton under the guise of party unity. She should have spent her time starting impeachment proceedings against Bush instead of undermining Clinton. She's just one more loser.

Let's take it too them, and restore greatness to this proud nation!

Obama/Nunn in 2008!

What does she hope to gain by showing this decidedly unappealing aspect of her character? Is this a person who will restore the country’s reputation abroad? Does she imagine she will bully Obama into choosing her as his running mate? Six months ago, I thought that would be a dream ticket. Now… Oh, the horror. I believe she would work covertly undermine President Obama and establish herself as some sort of co-president. I hope Senator Obama does not allow himself to be pressured into putting her on the ticket.

Let's all rally together and "Say No We Can't " to Hillary Clinton as VP!!!!!

It seems a rather obvious and self-evident thing, yet you can't fault Pelosi for stating it since it seems there are still some people (i.e., Mrs. Clinton and some of her more rabid fans) who apparently still don't get it.

Well, I guess if enough people say it enough times, then even Old Hill might eventually get it.

Finally, somoene who is not afraid to speak the truth!! Thank you Nancy Pelosi! Ignor the rush limbaugh hater's, they will be here crying all the way and me and a host of other's will be laughing at their replies.

So is this a formal endorsement? How can you tell others t o"get off the fence" if you haven't publicly endorsed?

Pity that Pelosi will NOT be the VP she always wanted to be.

Please go to HillaryClinton.com. You will see a tiny form to fill out...

Send her a message to step down...

..Ask her to put our Country first..our Democratic values first...

...Remind her that the "Dream Ticket" is impossible because of her primaries anti-Obama rhetoric....

...Let her know we don't want her as our Veep...

Thanks.

Obama-Richardson 2008

Of course, Pelosi "couldn't be prouder of her" (Clinton). That's all the proud she's got for Clinton. Pelosi did everything she could to pressure the delegates to vote for BO.

Drastic Mistake.......

Pelosi better be careful as she might be scooping dog poop up on the White House front lawn if she doesn't shut up already. Americans are not idiots we know he is the nominee we can do the math Pelosi.

Superdelegates and the media should try to refrain from being complicit in the Clinton extortion attempt.
