Jot, how was any thing stolen from Hillary ??? people voted, she lost fair and square…. her campaign failed and is in debt… and now her people are joining Obama to celebrate ….

The fat lady has already sung, and now she's giving out free CDs to the first 1000 people at her concert!

I don't understand this "It's not even 24 hours" thing. The math has been the same for months. Nothing has changed, and there has been plenty of time to prepare for this. It's been on the horizon for a long time, even Bill Clinton acknowledged it days before as his last time campaigning.

When Obama's magic number was under 50 and you're 200 delegates behind, you prepare for the inevitable.

for wanting to unite the party on the other hand, you obama supporters also need to keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. bashing hillary is the last thing you want to do in the attempt to get our votes.

What Sturm und Drang!

What wanton hubris!

Do these loyal Democrats need more suspense and melodrama? If Hillary were a man the media and her fellow Democrats would dismiss her and move on rather than waiting for her to catch her breath. Anything she has to say now is too little and too late.

Hillary is taking eher ball home because she doesn't like th eoutcome of the game.

Senator Clinton was self serving, as usual, in last night's speech. After that historic moment for this country, she showed little or no respect for Barack Obama. It was terrible. Congressman Rangel is absolutely right and he was a strong supporter of Clinton. She can not bow out with grace when anger is her stronger suit.
Please, no VP spot for Hillary. Senator Obama won because the people chose him. Let her go back to her seat in the senate.

I think HRC ran a great race and has really moved the ball forward for women. Right now, however, she needs to show that she, and women in general, have the guts to take a loss and be gracious about it.

I want to be able to teach my kids that sometimes you try hard and fail, but you don't treat the winner of a contest disrespectfully just because you didn't win – she's turning into a bad example at this point, as opposed to a fighter.

Governor Randel,

Please take your face out of CNN tv monitor. You make me puke!

A guy sees a rattlesnake down in a hole. The rattlesnake says, “Please get me out of this hole.”
The man says, “No, you will bite me.”
The rattlesnake says, “No, I promise, if you get me out of this hole I will not bite you.”
The man reaches down into the hole and lefts the snake out. The rattlesnake bites the man.
“Why did you bite me? I was lifting you out of the hole.”
The rattlesnake says, “It’s my nature.”
Obama should be careful of Hilary.

Why shoul Hillary support a luing cheat? Number one; he didn't desrve any votes for Michigan because he withdrew his name. Plus the democratic committee said that if Florida and Michigan moved their primaries to when they did, their votes would not count at all. Now the DNC has gone against what they said and allowed half the votes plu gave votes to hObo when he removed his name. I say screw the DNC and vote McCain '08.

Hillary Clinton did not win the popular vote. That number she is feeding to her supporters does not include cacus states. People, known as voters, are not being counted. Most of all, she lost the delegate count in which presidential nominees of the past has been selected by.

Hillary Clinton is not in control of all those people that voted for her.

You are right BTB…People are entitled to their own opinions but not to their own facts!

Hillary doesn't care about "no stinkin" New York delegation. It's all about Hillary. Maybe Father Pledger had a point.

Hillary is horrible and will destroy the Party if you let her.

By the way who was that Governor from Pennsylvania? This GUY is also out of touch just like the person he is supporting (HRC)!

As I have stated on similar articles, Hillary can't raise funds for her indebted campaign if she concedes therefore expect her keep this campaign alive until she can recoup her personal losses an estimated $20 million and payoff her campaign debts!!! I don't why this fact is not being discussed! She does not have to stay in the race to have bargaining power, or to get on the ticket in those regards she has all that she needs, this is clearly financially motivated. You want her out go to her website and DONATE!!!

The last good thing she could do is concede.
But again when was she known to do any good for the sake of the party or for the sake of the nation.

I'm inclined to believe that Hillary Clinton should be allowed to address the future at her own pace and however she sees fit. Unfortunately, the political process does not stop and Obama has to address his general campaign the way he and his team see fit. Forcing a working relationship on two people who may or may not be a "good fit" with one another is not prudent, especially at such a critical crossroads for our nation. History will be a stern judge of the participants.

Ken says: "Let Hillary Clinton run this race the way she wants to run her race. She has every right, for she has won the "Popular Vote" and she does have every right to even take it to the convention floor. "

The race is over. The avalanche started yesterday and continues today. The Superdelegates are deserting her camp.
On the other hand I think it rather ghoulish how having lost the pledged delegates, the super delegates (after leading for months) the popular vote (unless you use funny math and count Michigan where she broke the rules and left her name on the ballot) and the campaign fund (through bad management) Clinton et al are hoping for their last and only solution which is that something will happen to the winner so the loser can scamper gleefully to take his place. What a distasteful image.

I am glad that this pouting behavior has partially put the brakes on the possibility of an Obama/Clinton ticket and will allow Sen. Obama the freedom to choose a partner that is not busily salting the fields and poisoning the water.

Hillary complains of sexism, but if any male candidate were behaving this way, it wouldn't be tolerated for nearly as long. People have put up with a lot of poor sportsmanship and awful behavior from her because she's a woman, and because she's a Clinton. She's exploited both to the fullest, and she should be ashamed.

This is why Hillary was NOT nominated. A true leader would have put personal ambitions aside for the sake of the Party.

Her behavior is NOT presidential.

Once again, she is being exposed. Why can't her supporters see this? It is so clear that her behavior would gain the respect of world leaders.

That's what you get when you deal the devil

Obama, like all other Democrats, should just ignore her and let her drift off into obscurity.

for all Obama supporters . Stop to attack Hillary live her alone. She should not help Obama , you did not want her before , now what is tha problem?? you cant win against Republicans whit out her, this is funny!!! if he can't win in November it is your problem!! I vote for McCaine.

Maybe Hillary can be the first pick in the draft that Rangel wants to reinstitute.

Rangel, I've got nothing but respect for you, but Hillary has achieved something great and deserves to be acknowledged for it and to have a significant amount of power because of it. Unfortunately, the party elders that be are unwise and have thrown oru chances in November away…

Rangel – lost respect for a couple of months ago. So who cares? He and Hillary can keep themselves in NY.

and 18 million American voters.

Why do you all insist the American process not be fully carried through? Clinton has every right to stay in the race because….GASP! It's truly not over until the DNC.

It's all perfectly simple; she is justgoing back to her entitlement strategy with which she began the campaign now, however, she is saying "I am entitled to be Vice President." What she does not realize still is that one has to earn respect and earn trust and earn support. She would be a disaster as a Vice President.

HILLARY NEEDS TO GET OUT BEFORE SHE DESTROYS THE DEM PARTY MORE…..

I AM VERY DISAPOINTED THE WAY HILLARY IS BEHAVING……

IT'S TIME TO STOP BEING A SOAR LOOSER AND GET OUT.

AND NO SHE SHOULD NEVER BE THE VP. SHE IS BLACKMAILING OBAMA.
SHAME ON YOU HILLARY.

FEMALE FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER.

I thought se was ready for anything on day one. She knew this day was coming an experienced person would have planned for it. The way her campaign was ran you know she is not good at planning. Thank God we got rid of that liar Clinton.

Where were you when she spoke yesterday? I hear her clear and loud. She was very specific about unity and making the Democratic party the winner in November. Also she congratulated Obama and said a lot of nice comments on him. Again where was this guy last night. Was he with Carter too?

i have lost all respect for hillary

MAYBE SHE JUST NEEDS A GOOD CRY????????

Representative Rangel, billionaire Robert Johnson, and many others viewed the Clintons as their best possible link to the inner circle. Senator Obama has put these folks on the outside looking in. The Clintons showed their true colors throughout the campaign–even raising issues of race–and if you can believe it–sexism. While Senator Obama, not for the first time, conceded much to Hillary Clinton last night, Hillary Clinton gave Obama ice water and showed the Clintons' true colors mixed with sour grapes.

Vig

Uh. No. She herself railroaded her own campaign. Nothing more.

IT was all Hillary. Stop blaming, like she's doing, everyone else. The only person to blame is herself.

And I don't believe I have to list all the things she did that brought about her fate.

She has no one to blame but herself

GOOD JOB MR RANGER, NOW WHY DONT YOU TAKE THE LEAD IN APPLYING THE PRESSURE IN PICKING AL GORE AS VP!!!!!!

OBAMA/GORE 08

First of all, her claim of winning the popular vote is questionable – if you count Michigan and give Obama the uncommitted vote she barely wins, but if you estimate the caucus states then Obama wins anyway.

Second, it's entirely irrelevant – the nomination is based on DELEGATES won, not votes cast. Is that really so difficult to understand? Her campaign was terribly run and decided to ignore the caucus states, which may have cost her the nomination….that's the bottom line. Whine and moan all you want about the popular vote, but that's not the determining factor in deciding the nomination…DELEGATES are. Understand? If popular vote were the critical factor then Gore would have been elected in 2000…sadly, he wasn't

It's really too bad, because Hillary has loads of talent and energy and supporters, but she simply is not wired to be #2. Rangel and other supporters and friends of Hillary would do her (and the party) a great service by having an honest reality-check with her. I hope that Pres. Obama offers her either the #1 spot in the Dept. of Health and Human Services or a Supreme Court position.

WHY IS EVERYONE FORGETTING THE MOST IMPORTSNT FACTOR HERE… IT IS ABOUT HILLARY AND IT HAS BEEN ABOUT HILLARY FRON THE START…SHE DOESN'T CRAE ABOUT THE PARTY OR EVEN TRYING TO UNIFY THE PARTY…

HILLARY WILL ANOUNCE THAT SHE WILL RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT…EVEN IF IT MEANS SPLITTING THE VOTES…
YOU HEARD IT HERE…SHE'S JUST THAT SELFISH……

Then STOP supporting her and join the Obama campaign.

Ken– the stronger candidate— lost. Back the winner. The supers will not change their minds in August–forget that hope and go enroll yourself in political science 101.

do you expect this kind person to handle a 3AM call? you dream! Wait until 3PM, the next day, next month or even next year…

Hilary Clinton show the entire world Tuesday night just how mature she really has become by not Graciously conceeding and Uniting White woman into the Democratic Fold, as well as her 18-million voters by sincerely congradulating Barack Obama on his VICTORY on this Historical Moment in American, and encouraging to get behind Barack Obama to untie the Party.

As a BLACK African American Woman, I'm appauled by Hilary's behavior, her non-concession speech that stole the spot light on a very Important moment for ALL OF US Tuesday night, and instead of her taking the HIGH ROAD, she choose to act like a winning spoiled brat by showing her true colors. Now Hilary & Bob Johnson want to Bogart, Pressure and Demand that she be VP, I say NO WAY IN THE WORLD is this a winning Ticket……Stealing the Spot Light leaves a BAD TASTE in mouth for ever, and Hilary Supporters stop the madness and get real because we have much to do going forward. Thanks Hilary & Bill Clinton, but AMERICAN's have spoken, no more TRICKS and under hand tactics & strong arming your way back in to the White House because I'M BACKING BARACK OBAMA 110% All the way, and hope you will find a meaningful way to get your voters to come aboard! Barack can choose any one to become VP, but last night you proved to the WORLD you're not READY FOR CHANGE or progress for AMERICAN PEOPLE! It's not all about you, It's BIGGER THAN YOU! Sore Looser…

Christine Shannon-Preval of Hartford, CT 6/4/08

She still thinks is ALL ABOUT HER. SHE IS SO SAD.

She should pack up and take another vacation to Puerto Rico (indefinitely)

Uh oh Charles.. here they come..

"JUDAS!!"

Typical Hillary. She still can't believe that she, " a Clinton" has been beaten; and I'm sure she is trying, as hard as she might, to figure a way to get Obama disinfranchised. She is not fit to hold public office and I hope Obama will refrain from putting her on the ticket as VP. It is time for a change and remove American from the corruptible influence of the Bush's and the Clinton's.

Hillary not conceding last night was a real slap in the face to Obama. Moreover, Hillary and Bill are not going to campaign for him – who in their right minds actually believe that? Thus – she could not by my V.P. She's much too selfish. What a sore loser.

Obama could have ended the Democratic Nomination Process weeks ago if he would just have given Hillary Clinton the VP slot on the Democratic ticket. I think she has definitely earned it by getting the most votes by actual voters in this contest. I think that adding Hillary Clinton to the ticket would also be a smart move. Obama can either be the first black president (with Hillary by his side) or he can let McCain be president by choosing a different running mate. I know Obama's wife doesn't like Hillary, but Obama should do what he can to win the nomination otherwise McCain will be president come January.

He is absolutely right. I keep reading comments from Hillary supporters claiming that Obama supporters are rude. Have you been watching the primaries. Haven't you seen all of the attacks that Obama has had to endure and he still shows her respect for Hillary. Didn't you see how she conducted herself last night and how she refused to acknowledge that Obama had won the democratic nomination. For months I have seen negative and insidious comments made against the Obama campaign. Now Hillary supporters want to threaten repeatedly that they will vote for McCain, because your candidate ran an ugly campaign and lost. Wake up. Is this really the sort of leadership that you want to represent you. It is time to move forward in a positive way. Recognize that what is happening now is the reason that Hillary is not the nominee. This is not about her, but the future of our country. Now is the time for her to be a real leader and stop this nonsense. She is continuing to divide the party and doesn't seem to give a da…n

Spoken by a Hillary supporter. Couldn't be more true. She is being given the respect and leeway that she deserves. This is not the time to look like a calculating politician looking for the best deal to further herself. If she is doing it for the sake of her supporters, then just say that. But also, give Obama his due as the nominee.

No Hillary? Fine.
The Obamanatics have their candidate.
Good bye, and good luck.
I'll be voting for McCain.

Hillary's motto – Hooray for me, to heck with everyone else. What happened to that gas tax rebate?????? Not much being said about that anymore – it fell flat just like her health care project years ago.

Ken, you obviously are a repulking trying to use fear for arabic name, I will vote for Barack Hussein Obama not McSame as Bush!

Hilary is …what word do I want to use..selfish..This is not about her, it's about winning back the white house..Hard working people are drowning and there's no life vest in her hands. Only her sign..vote for Hilary and last night shows just that..We've all had enough of her. I've tried VERY hard to get to know her and like her but it's very hard.

people, it's called POLITICS

Only the Clintons know what the Clintons are thinking.

No one has to criticize what Hillary Clinton does. Her actions speak volumes and she will prove to be her own worst enemy.

There is no doubt that HRC is playing the wild card, using it for political clout. She want to force Senater Obama's hand, she thinks he can't win without her endorsement. I have more confidents in Hillary's supporters than that. I know the majority of them are true democrats and they will support the democratic ticket. Hillary must think she has complete control over her supporters, like she can govern them and make them vote for whoever she sways. Her true colors are really shining through now. I respect all you Clinton supporters, so please think about what we heard from her last night. History was made and she never even mentioned it. Hillary must be a ME ME CHILD.

Steve

It's amazing how Rangel has lost his voice in the last few months.

It sure doesn't do anything for his credibility.

Waffling was never one of his strengths before>

Come on everyone jump on the band wagon and vote for Obama!!!!!!!!
I can't believe americans can be so stupid. Now all the best candidates are gone. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE OBAMA PEOPLE WHY DOES A GOOD SPEAKER QUALIFY YOU TO BE PRESIDENT??????? DO YOU OBAMA PEOPLE REALIZE THAT HILLARY CAME OUT WITH HER PLAN FOR AMERICA FIRST AND OBAMA COPIED IT. WHY?????? MOST HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA UNLESS SHE IS PLACED AS VP SO SHE CAN TEACH HIM. IF HILLARY IS NOT THE VP OBAMA WILL LOSE BECAUSE MOST OF THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE LOYAL AND WILL CROSS OVER AND VOTE MC CAIN OR WRITE IN HILLARY. OBAMA PEOPLE HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER WITHOUT HILLARY SUPPORTERS VOTES??
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with Jimmy Carter. Putting Hillary on the #2 spot on the ticket is the worst thing Obama can do right now. If she wants to hold the party and the presumptive nominee to ransom for a spot on the ticket, it is nothing but blackmail. I would rather have Obama lose in November without HRC than to win with her in the ticket. At least, that way, he would have maintained his integrity and not sold out to a blackmailer.

Hey fake CNN only accepts notes critical of Hillary – just business as normal. Rangel has nothing to complain about he's under no pressure to do anything.

Ken. She did not win the popular vote, the pledged delegate count or superdelgate count. Why can't HRC supporters let that go? She lost straight up.

That's the most amazing part of being a woman, esp. a narrow-hearted one

Ken–

She does NOT have the popular vote. The only way she has it is doing Hillary Math and her math just doesn't work.

Get real. I would have thought that after last night with her speech that that showed everyone who the really Hillary Clinton is. But some still have their blinders on.

All she cares about is herself. Nothing more.

Ken, she did not win the 'the popular vote'. Many states didn’t even register it as that is not what the race was for! Rules are rules.

For once Congressman Rangel is correct! However, 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!

Her speech last night was very fitting giving what she has portrayed through this campaign. I, for one, would not want to be the communications director who had to write the speech.
It is very difficult for her at this time and we get that but now it's about unifying the party and she did not even make an attempt to do that last night. That was most disappointing.

Rangel has been one of Hillary's chief enablers. Two peas in a pod. Now maybe he is seeing her for what she is. Next, maybe, Rangel will really focus on what's right for America and dump Hillary and endorse Obama.

They need to respect the candidate whom they could not beat in a straight-up fight for votes.
Clinton Democrats for Mc Cain '08!!

she only cares about her agenda. she changes the rules after she agreed to them. but that was when she didn't think those would matter. she says count every vote, but only those for her seem to count.

To Ken:

There is no longer a race. The race is over. It's on to the general election. Nothing will change at the convention. Let it go. It's finished. Take some time to let your anger subside.

Neither the convention or running as an Independent is going to get her to the White House. In fact, each day she fails to concede is another nail in her political coffin.

She's finished, in the primaries and in politics.

Rangel… Your a baby.

Good point.
What a pity that just few of Clinton's supporters go aout and criticise her position

***************************************************************************
With due respects to Senator Obama for running a good campaign, despite needing four times the money and the title of "media darling" to win.

His supporters need to realize a few things… They have been rude and disrespectful to Senator Clinton therefore, rude to her supporters… What they are failing to realize is that HE NEEDS HER, SHE DOES NOT NEED HIM and we will NOT support him, which means, he will in fact not have enough votes to win in November…

I would start being a bit respectful if I were you…

Senator Clinton OWES HIM NOTHING… So please stop complaining.

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

Once again it "O we must wait & see what it is Hillary wants" Why??
She is out for herself. It is obvious she does not care about the American people, or the Dem Party. Obama is the Dem nominee & she feels it is beneath her to congratulate him or concede to him. No Character. She sounds more like a Nut Case than a dem candidate.

Ken…

You're nuts.

She lost. Its about delegates not popular vote, just as the general election is about electoral votes not popular votes.

Isn't that what she is saying about swing states…electoral votes? You can't have it both ways.

Again, she LOST!

So why doesn`t he tell Clinton this, and tell her to acknowledge OBAMA`s win, get behind him or he should endorse Obama himself.

Why is everyone treating her with so much respect? She lost! GET OVER IT. They are also disrespecting him by waiting to see if she will do the right thing.

Does the DNC and superdelegates have no spine?

I am ashamed if Hillary and the res of the party1

It doesn't look to me like Sen. Clinton was or is ready to handle her responsibilities on Day 1. It appears she is going to rely on Barack to pull it together without her, or maybe in spite of her.

That's because it's not about the party. It's about her. She's made that clear this entire campaign. Rather than attack the Republicans she's focused more on Obama. She had opportunities to take the high road – like when she was asked about the misconception that Obama is Muslim – and she gave an answer that I thought was pretty disgusting coming from a Democrat. I'm not saying Obama stayed completely above the fray, but I've gotten the sense all along that she will say or do anything to get a vote – whether it hurts the party or not. She's going to go down kicking and screaming even if it drags the entire party down with her. I admire her tenacity and unwillingness to give up, but enough is enough – she and her supporters seem to be having a tough time accepting reality.

"Ken" stop drinking the Billary juice. Hillary's speech last night was a joke and big disappointment. She should have done the right thing, concede, congratulate and unite the party. I have lost alot of respect for the Clintons.

CLinton should never give a concession speech. Her nomination was railroaded by the news media and their blatant repressive attitudes, comments and thinking about a woman leading the free world. No Clinton for VP = No vote for Obama – it's that simple for me.

She is dazed and confused….has been since Iowa, have not yet recovered from the shock. But we knew she was like this which is why we supported Obama from the get go…..this woman has no morals. Now John McBush is campaigning for her and singing her praise….they are so hoping they still get a chance to run against their favorite Dem. candidate….a Clinton!!

Obama '08

He is correct. Before anyone can be a good leader, they must first know how to follow.

Rangel is a very loyal Clintonian, even he can see how destructive Hillary is becoming !!!

Good point, Anita. She's counting on her supporters to stick with her blindly without giving them any sense of what she's thinking. That doesn't seem very respectful.

It's OK sweetie.

We will just declare victory.

Obama/Clinton. 08 &12

When Hillary decided to go the 'Harriet' route, she probably just ruined her chance at VP. I was all for her being VP until last night.

If she really wanted VP, she would have acknowledged Obama's nomination and re-set the tone when her 'Harriet' supporters started their shrill 'Denver' during her speech.
Pure simple MALIGNANT NARCISSISM

the 'Harriets' need to admit defeat, shut up and move on or register as Republicans. I no longer care about their poor loser tirades and impotent threats.

This is for Pelosi, you once said that nobody should take away the will of the people. What happened this time? You are so pathetic all along you supported Obama everybody knew that. The nomination was stolen from a woman the world knows is more experienced to lead this country to glory. If Obama loses in November it is the so called supper delegated to blame. You took away the will of the people, Pelosi and all those Tom Dasho who couldn't even help Obama win his home state South Dakota, Teddy Kennedy and John Kerry couldn't either. You will be all to blame

Every single candidate has been demanding real-time decisions, announcements, etc. When 8 pm rolls around in an eastern state – most of the time CNN and Fox are both busily making predictions. Candidates have conceded defeat before 50% of the votes were even counted!

The election process has spoken, there's no question who is the nominee. Get on with it. Hilary needs to concede/congratulate like any other defeated candidate would do and realize that whether you are male, female, androgynous, black, white, or green – the political game was decided many years ago – you can't re-write the rules because any candidate wants "time".

Even dunderhead Romney conceded defeat when it was obvious! And he thought he was ordained to be Pres!

Hillary has us all confused about what it is she is planning on doing.

Come on Hillary speak up. Tell us something. We need to win back the White House. What's on your mind.

Just don't destroy the entire democratic party because you didn't get what you wanted. People respect and admire you and expect nothing but support for the party from you.

Could it be that Hillary Clinton is being defiant because she does not want the Democrats in win in 2008? Hmmm. It would free up her changes in 2012. What kind of loyality is that? All about self.

Could it be that Clinton is showing why her campaign failed. Failed strategy. Could it be that they actually no exit strategy and are trying to come up with one? LIke Bush had to take days to figure out Katrina.

Hillary. This is a hiring decision and the primaries are the interview. Your narrow campaign planning and single-minded strategies are in plain view for all to see.

I'm no politician, but I thought the first rule in politics and war was to always have a fall back position. You have not demonstrated any thinking along those lines.

Hillary is prolonging her decision because she got the votes of the people in a government founded on that principle. So please do not decide when she should give up, that is not yours to make. First of all she has been treated with disrespect, sexism, by the media, the DNC and all the leaders and superdelegates on the Hill. So for once, leave Hillary alone and who really cares because your golden candidate OBAMA will never win over the senior vote, the blue collar worker, nor lifelong Democrats who can see right through him and no longer support the values of the DNC

What's is up with NY? Why are they waiting for Billary?

MAKE UP YOUR OWN MINDS!!

she doesnt deserve consideration after her lame speech last nite.she should join mccain's camp.

Congratulations to Charles Rangel for speaking his mind. It's takes courage for any politician, particularly one in New York, to criticize Sen. Clinton.

I voted for Senator Clinton during both her senatorial campaigns and for her husband during both his presidential campaigns. I am so appalled by her conduct during the primaries that she has lost my vote permanently. By not conceding, she has encouraged her supporters to hold out for her nomination or selection as a running mate. Since neither will (or should) happen, her supporters will become further embittered instead of supportive of the Democratic ticket. By making another four years of the Bush policies more likely, she has placed her own ambition over the nation’s welfare.

Sounds like to me that she sorta played them a little with her telephone call knowing that some would leak what they talked about. The goal was to get huge media attention not only for a potential concession but also even more attention when after she didnt do it. Well…. she succeeded in keeping her #1 in the news. How's that for self-importance?

And she want to be VP? She would railroad his campaign and try to be in charge. I would not consider her as VP. Too much baggage! She was not even gracious in he speech last night.

You are correct Mr. Rangel … unfortunately she continues to show bad judgement and just won't listen …

If she takes it to the floor,she will lose superdelegates daily. Even if she found some way to steal the nomination, it wouldn't be worth having because her nomination would be viewed as a Clintonian fraud.

How can Hillary claim she wants what is best for this country. She makes women look bad. She needs to concede. Listening to her supporters talk about how she should run as an independent or they will vote for McCain is outrageous to me. We need our party united. We need Americans united, we need change, we need relief. Hillary get out of the way. It was a great race but it is over now. Congratulations Obama, what an amazing day in history. No one could steal your thunder, not even a Clinton!!

I don't understand it either. Here is Sen. Clinton's strongest mentor and supporter and he is frazzled and upset and in a spot. I am coming to believe that "narcissistic delusions" apply well to this family.

Hillary said earlier this year that she would "work her heart out" for the nominee. Now, we have the presumptive nominee and so far she has not respected that fact but, rather, has indicated that she may choose to fight on – which would certainly be to the detriment of the party. I realize this situation is not easy for her and that she is probably trying to determine what she can get out of it but it truly is time for her to put her party and her country ahead of her own desires. It takes strength to fight to obtain our dreams but it sometimes takes even more strength to let go of those dreams. Please do the right thing Hillary – and soon!

Charles,
You are so right? What a horribly narcissistic self serving speech. It did nothing but to make her supporters even more bitter and anit-Obama.

It is HER responsibility to get HER supporters on the democratic bandwagon!

One big reason why she cant be vice president…

PETER PAUL V. CLINTON (google and you tube this)…. JUST BECUASE OBAMA DIDNT BRING IT UP DOES NOT MEAN REPUBLICAN WON'T WEILD IT LIKE AN AK47…

Clinton supporters think Obama whent negative. Infact he only responded to her attacks… republicans will not be so kind

What does Hllary want? To be the center of attention. The media spotlight. It's her oxygen. She can't survive without it. Doesn't matter if the circumstances don't make sense — she's just gotta have it.

This is just crazy talk. Has anyone endorsed another candidate the same day as an election? Obama supporters need to chill a lot! They are being impossible as usual.

Hillary did not concede because she can still run as an independent candidate like Joe Lieberman did and win the election in the Fall. People voted for her in the primary because the believe in her health care and her policy. They believe she is a fighter who will fight for them and who will stand with them to solve the problems that we are facing now. I believe if she runs an independent candidate, she will win the election because people will vote for her and not for her party because they believe she is the excellent leader who can help them.

I'm white, my husband is Bill Clinton, I'm entitled….there's a black man stealing my show!!

Obama '08!

Another thing Mr. Rangel, Senator Hillary Clinton does NOT need Obama, he needs her! So lets cut the BS! Even if Hillary endorse Obama or she is in the ticket of Obama, MAJORITY of us lifelong and moderate democrats will NOT vote for him. You all think you can treat her like a piece of rag, discarded in the corner and pick it up again when you need her? I have news for you, when women cast their vote, Democrats win the Whitehouse. You've all treated us infernally, we have memory like an elephant, we do NOT FORGET who injured us. When you all slighted Hillary, you've done it to all us, FEMALE OF THE SPECIE regardless of skin color. Remember election 2000, it only took 2% for VP Gore to in general election, it would be worse for your presumptive nominee in November.

Good one Charlie. More and more Hillary supporters are going to question their loyalty to her. Finally they get to see the dark side of Hillary. Question is, why didn't they see this before? Every one knows what shady characters the Clintons are.

I meant throw

Come on everyone jump on the band wagon and vote for Obama!!!!!!!!
I can't believe americans can be so stupid. Now all the best candidates are gone. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE OBAMA PEOPLE WHY DOES A GOOD SPEAKER QUALIFY YOU TO BE PRESIDENT??????? DO YOU OBAMA PEOPLE REALIZE THAT HILLARY CAME OUT WITH HER PLAN FOR AMERICA FIRST AND OBAMA COPIED IT. WHY?????? MOST HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA UNLESS SHE IS PLACED AS VP SO SHE CAN TEACH HIM. IF HILLARY IS NOT THE VP OBAMA WILL LOSE BECAUSE MOST OF THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE LOYAL AND WILL CROSS OVER AND VOTE MC CAIN OR WRITE IN HILLARY. OBAMA PEOPLE HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO WIN IN NOVEMBER WITHOUT HILLARY SUPPORTERS VOTES??
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't want her to concede. If she does, me and millions of others will switch parties and vote Republican. That is some "change" you can believe in.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself Rangel, having seen the way the radical leftists tried to destroy Hillary and told her to drop out months ago!!!

Maybe when Obama is president of Iran he will offer you a cabinet position!!!

Is Mrs. Clinton in the news? Let us forget about her and do something good for our country.

I agree with Rangel. Clinton was less than graceful in her speech last night. This speaks to her narcississtic tendencies and lack of trustworthiness. The night before she stated that she would back the nominee just as soon as that candidate "reached the magic number" and then failed to do acknowledge him as such.

She also said she would do everything to unite the Democractic party once the nominee was announced. She didn't. All I witnessed last night was another chance to pat herself on the back, steal the limelight from Obama, and a failure to acknowledge Barack as the official nominee.

But, most importantly – I saw her miss the opportunity to acknowledge history being made as we announced our first African American (biracial) Presidential nominee! She said nothing about it.

What does this show – A SORE LOSER who is only looking to broker a power deal which would seek to further her own political career by making a power play for the VP spot by leveraging the stakes of the voters she won in places Barack knows he'll have a challenge.

Talk about a sore loser! Obama has crossed the finish line and she (nor anyone in her campaign) has yet to concede. The Clinton regime has come to an end and on what was to be Obama's night, she chose to make it about her. I am not sure what hole she and her constituents are living in, but the primary season is over. The votes have been counted, delegates (supers – uncommitted as well as hers formerly) continue to pledge their support to Obama, yet Hillary acts as though there are more battles to be fought. Maybe so; however, that battle is in her mind as she is a sick individual who has a hard time embracing reality.

About time you grew a backbone Mr. Rengel, though I'm not sure I can

call this stand of yours a backbone. You're the sort of chump who

hides behind numbers and polls, waiting to make sure it is politically

safe to express what many of us knew all along. Finally you

summon the courage to stand up to this political terrorist who wants

to hold the party hostage. You're such

a politician…

Pathetic.

Get lost Hillary and take your supporters w/ ya!!

What ever. Your opinion doesn't count for much. Thank you and go away.

It's OK, this single mother of three is sending another (I've lost count after a 15 months) with a note attached:

REMEMBER, NO HILLARY!!

I totally agree – she should bow out gracefully and throw her full support behind Obama

It's not right to keep all her supporters in the dark. That's not leadership. I think she'll address it as soon as tonight.

I was not too surprised a the dubbed, "sore loser" speech Hillary gave last night. I was quite disappointed however. I hope her ego doesn't allow her to through the entire democratic party under the bus. Obama won't let her. The American people won't let her. this race is just beginning. Obama/Sebelius in '08

I am really getting tired of people trying to steer Hillary Clinton to be anyone else but herself. Let Hillary Clinton run this race the way she wants to run her race. She has every right, for she has won the "Popular Vote" and she does have every right to even take it to the convention floor.

Keep in mind that Barack Hussein Obama WILL NOT get the "Super Delegate's" vote until they get to the convention!

Hillary Clinton is still the stronger candidate to beat McCain in November. So I would suggest that the Democrat Party allow Hillary to close her race according to the way she feels is right!

Its not even 24 hours Charlie take a chill pill. She just gave a speech praising him this morning.

I am just so surprise what people see in Hillary… she is so blunt and mean sprited. Maybe these are the people whom she attracts.

Well put.

Finally something smart comes out of this guys mouth…hes 1000000% right. Everyday she looks more and more like a terrible person. GIVE IT UP! I didnt even care that she took the primary this far but now that she lost its like………………are you kidding me?? This woman needs to leave politics forever and go swig some whiskey and budweiser on the back of a pickup…Vote with your mind not with your heart

It seems to me, at this point, that Clinton's actions only make sense within the narrow confines of narcissism.

I fear the leadership of a person so willfully out of touch.

No one understands Clinton right now except the most narrow minded of people. More and more such narror minded people are using Clinton's campaign as a foil for their own distaste at the prospect of an African American President. Clinton – far from disavowing such a role – seems to relish it.

I can understand this must be very difficult for her. But so what! Life is tough sometimes! There are more important things going on than her desire to find her way back to the oval office again…

Senator Clinton will never endorse Senator Obama, Senator Clinton will never concede this primary race and never work towards unifying the democratic party. period. Now the choice before americans is do we want more fringe republican policies or do we want policies that are debated by democrats and independents and republicans and formed on consensus and understanding thhat the challenges we face are huge and complex. Do we want this great experiement to end or continue, thats what we need to focus on, in my humble opinion.

OKAY, IF HILLARY DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE A CONCESSION SPEECH, ALL TOGETHER NOW, LET'S DO ONE FOR HER. MY NAME IS HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AND I CONCEDE TO OBAMA, THE NEXT DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

She's a spoiler and now she won't ever get a chance at VEEP. What a fool!

Thank You Charlie. She is trying to hold Americans Hostage. Something you cannot do nor honor.

I rarely agree with Mr. Rangel, but he's absolutely correct here. What can Hillary possible gain by prolonging the inevitable? Doesn't she realize that the longer she unnecessarily drags this out, the worse it will be for her party?

She just needed time to adjust to losing.

They are both good candidates & hopefully will join together.

Obama/Clinton

Hillary showed her true colors last night. Ed, maybe she'll come around
when you endorse Senator Obama.

Don't blame Hillary. She is only doing what comes naturally to a Clinton. She is unwilling to see the truth and unable to speak it.

As I listened last night I kept waiting for Hillary to be gracious and say something to push towards unity and I'm still waiting. I have always loved the Clintons and hope she gets on the ticket. However I understand if it doesn't happen and why it may not work, but to vote Republican and vote for 4 more years of war and all the other Bush strategies that McCain has…..thats just stupid.
I have a hard time with Clinton supporters voting for McCain, I keep hearing it and it makes no sense. First, he's a republican, 2nd he stands for everything against what Hillary wanted. Obama wasn't my first choice, but he has the same goals as Hillary. Let's stick together people, if you want McCain you must have been a republican to begin with.

"I don't know why she could not have been more open in terms of doing up front what she intends to do later."

I believe it has been said over and over again that history repeats itself. When Hillary Clinton first ran for Senate everyone knew that it was just a stepping stone to running for president in 2008. She would never admit it then. Why, you ask? Because Hillary Clinton cares not about those who elected her Senator or those her supported her for the presidency of the United States: she cares only for Hillary Clinton.

First time I've agreed with Ole Charlie.

Just another example of how she doesn't care about anyone elses situations only herself. Divided she stands.

I agree completely with Charlie Rangel

Finally, even her most ardent supporters are realizing how selfish this act/speech was.

It's only her most deluded herd/flock of blind followers who can find hint of anything good in her speech. And all those people can do is scream hysterically at everyone who disagrees with Hillary.

Time to move on – away from the Clintons.

Charlie, someone told me that she will do whateve be necessary so McCcain wins. Why? She could aspire again in 4 more years and of course whe will find a very vulnerable 78 years old President, It's hard to believe that McCain has the right formula to correct the huge mistakes of the Bush Administration.. Period.

Hillary is acting like a sore loser. I once respected her but now when I see how blatantly ungracious she can be, it is no wonder Obama's charm is working wonders. I also agree with Carter – Obama won't fare well with her next to him.

It just shows you how selfish she is

One word: Desperation.

It's becoming worse than this independent thought: she is apparently willing to sacrifice the party for some amount of power.

Those who have been dissing her have been right all along! To me that speech is good reason NOT to offer her VP.

Our system is about compromise. The rules were established, the people spoke, and albeit closely, chose Obama. It's time to go after the Republicans. Should she dally much longer, real damage will be done.

Cant everyone see that she needs help . She's politically spoilled and cant accept defeat . It 's ABOUT HER AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HER AND HER LEGACY!

This is nonsense…..her supporters, surrogates, endorsers and delegates urged her to keep fighting and now they all are screaming she should have conceded….dont get me wrong i agree, her speech was horrible and disrespectful to Obama, his historic moment, african americans and all his supporters….mccain as well….but you all should have not pushed her so much and encouraged her up to the last minute……if obama looses, it wont be because he's no electible, but that this party was so damaged and by her, bill and their entire campaign that she will be more blamed and it's possible their political career will be over….

She's plotting and planning her next move. For now, she will drive the wedge deeper into the party to pressure Obama to make the biggest mistake possible.

She is trying to find a reason not to concede but she can't it's over and somebody needs to address that with her. She needs to be put on the spot and stop acting like Obama has not won the nomination. she is so much in denial that it's laughable. Go back to NY we don't want you as a VP either.

I think it was ok not to concede if she needed a day or so but one would think as a seasoned politician she would have been capable of doing so. The problem was that she gave a campaign speech, including a statement that she is the better canidate. She know very well this was damaging to the party and disrepectful to our nominee. She is abusing her followers by inviving them in this defiance rather than helping them to heal. She should not be VP. There are many options where she can do much to help our country in her own way. She is not a second place kind of woman.

I have to agree. They say sheis trying to "Force" his hand on the VP issue – but after Bill's outburst – claiming that Obama is behind the negative media coverage (which apparently a lot of her supporters believe as well) – Bill's claims that Obama put that priest up to smearing Hillary – how can Hillary possibly think he could consider her. Imagine the Republican Ads of just piecing together all the outrageous video when Hillary was in her "win at any cost" mode (And maybe she's still there) – Bragging up Jogn McCain and dismissing Barack as though he doesn't even belong in the race. Bad enough for Barack to face that with another VP candidate – Impossible with Hillary on the ticket. The ticket becomes a sideshow and a distraction with Hillary – I can't imagine any Democrat wants that – no matter how much they love Hillary.

Dear Hillary,
I was one of your strongest supporters and was disappointed when you lost.
However, after i heard your divisive and narssisistic speech last night i have changed my mind. This is about us the voters not you and your ego.
You have disappointed several women including me. You are dividing the party. If you cost us the election thi syear and subject us to 4 more years of Mc-Bush, we will NEVER forgive you or vote for you in 2012.
Please step down so that we can win the presidency.
Enough is enough.
Disappointed former supporter
Alexandra

We want to be DONE with Hillary already! She has been so pathetic and SO stubborn, she will not even admit defeat when it's obvious! Hillary should not be given the VP position, that should belong to someone that OBAMA picks. The VP position is not a consession prize for the runner up. NO MORE HILLARY!

Hillary is an absolute disgrace to America her actions speak words everything to her is ,me, me ,me me,me. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Hillary has no morals / manners .
If it isnt old politics or hate Hillary won't be present .
Need her on the ticket as much as need another hole in our heads.
Its Republicans and hallow minded like Lanny Davis that pushes this crap .Go Away Lanny Davis we dont needyou or B.S.speaking of slime.
Its NO to Hill. liar for VP or a no vote

Boy is this true. Rangel is just talking common sense, what it the point in not endorsing, then at the same time saying that you are willing to do whatever is necessary for the Democratic party to be successful. I think that Hillary is just stunned and does not know really what she is doing now.

Finally something that makes sense has come out of his mouth. Hillary, do the right thing. Get behind Obama for the good of the country. For once, let this be about US and not about YOU. The damage you've done is disgusting and that false claims of sexism make women like me, who have HONESTLY suffered sexism angry. You were not nominated, not because you are a woman, but because you are not a team player and have a future vision only for yourself and your own legacy. You also have no respect for the rules of democracy. I am a caucus voter who you disenfranchise and dismiss each time you and Wolf Blitzer claim you've won the popular vote. Disgusting.

It seems the EVERYONE is getting tired of Hillary.

THEY ARE CLINTONS!!!! ENOUGH SAID CHARLIE

You cannot be a good VP if you cannot concede. that's what the job of VP is being told what to do by the President. it isn't a co- presidential position. And did she forget that she said that she would concede when a nominee was chosen? Again she pandered.
Call off the pettitions and put more energy behind Obama like you said Hillary!

I will always love you, Charlie Rangel. I haven't always agreed with you, particularly your support of HRC, but you are one of the most level-headed, consistent, intelligent congressmen we have.

I hope you have great influence on HRC. She needs to graciously concede immediately and make it a point to acknowledge the historical significance of Obama's clinching of the Democratic nomination.

Time to focus on John McCain!

Meh, she can either endorse or not. If she doesn't and Obama win's she is going to seem pretty irrelevant. She needs to realize that it's over. She isn't going to be president now or in 2012. Its not a knock on her, it just wasn't meant to be. No one cheated her out of anything. If anything, she was given every courtesy the DNC had to offer. Hillary has been planning this since Bill was in office and, its hard when all that hard work doesn't pay off but, that's life.

She and her supporters can block Obama and allow McCain to win if they choose to but, all that will prove is that they are petty and bitter.

If the US is made to endure another 4 years of the same policies people will remember who could've done something about it but didnt.

So, if you're a democrat; act like it.

If you're a republican; grow a pair.

And, if you're a Clinton supporter who wont vote for Obama than don't vote for him and shut-up. You complain so much that caususes aren't secret ballots and then you can't wait to tell us all about who you are or arent voting for.

RANGEL SHUT YOUr DARN MOUTH!!! AND THAT IS PUTTING IT MILDLY. SHE DON'T HAVE TO CONCEDE TO ANYTHING AS UNIMPORTANT AS THIS BARRACKER OBEENIHAHA. HE AND YOU RANGEL ARE A LAUGHING JOKE. HERE ALL OF A SUDDEN "YOU FOLKS" ARE FEELING YOUR OATS AND THINKING YOUR PRETTY GREAT FOLKS, DON'T YA? WELL LIVE IT UP TO NOVEMBER. I GUESS YOU HAVE THAT MUCH COMING TO YOU. RANGEL YOU ARE JUST ANOTHERE STUPID AA WHO THINKS HILLARY HAS CONCEEDED. HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU MANAGE TO FIND THE SENATE FLOOR TO TRY TO WORK? DO YOU PRINT OR WRITE? OH YEAH YOU HAVE SOME LITTLE INTERN TO DO THAT FOR YOU, DON'T YOU? SHE DON'T HAVE TO CONCEDE ANYTHING UNTIL THE FLOOR OF THE CONVENTION IF SHE SO ELECTS. SHE CAN STILL TAKE THE DNC(A JOKE) TO A LAW SUIT. THEY WERE TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER AND SHE DOES HAVE A LEGITMATE COMPLAINT IF SHE CHOOSES TO USE IT. THE REPUBLICANS SET THE ELECTION DATE AND OBAMA CAMPAIGNED THERE. THAT MAKES IT FLORIDA UP FOR GRABS. IF THEY RULE THAT IT WAS AGAINST THE LAW TO DISENFRANCHISE MI. AND FL. THEN HILLARY WAS THE WINNER IN DELEGATES LONG BEFORE LAST TUESDAY. GOODBYE OBAMA. SO SHUT THE HE..! UP RANGEL. YOU GIVE ME A CRAMP ANYWAY.

Then say goodby and be sure you make your concession speech to McCAIN>

There are 3 things obvious about Clinton right now.

1) She is delusional, not accepting that she lost.
2) She is power hungry at all cost, still seeking ways to win.
3) She is not bowing out gracefully.

Now, who still wants to support the lady?

Don't you get it….it's all about Hillary.

Rangel, wasn't he the same guy, who defended Bill Clinton; when he should have been impeached for lying…That's what wrong with Washington now, we need "New Blood", there………………….

A politician who speaks his mind!

Hillary,
The party is over, the bar and kitchen have closed!. It is time to be polite. Take Bill and go home.

Obama won the popular vote. If you want to count negated primaries like Florida and Michigan, you have to count the dozen of caucus' that Obama dominated.

Clinton Supporters,

I truly hope that all or most that claim to Clinton supporters that blog her on CNN are actually Reps trying to stir the pot by stating they will take their 18 million army and right in HRC or vote McCain. I truly do, I still today, see a lot of threatening blogs from these Clinton supporters, it never stops. If you all are Clinton supporters and serious about your threats, well you are dooming yourself and dooming your neighbor. And by the way, will have a negative impact on the woman you so adimatly and emotionally follow. You and ultimately her would be blamed for a Republican back in the Oval Office. If this is true, it is certainly disgusting that you all would be so selfish, you before your neighbor, you before your children, you before your country. I find it repulsive. If this is false, which I truly hope it is and it is a bunch of neocons stirring the pot, well, we know they are disgusting so it wouldn't supprise me.

BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN, LATINO, INDIAN, AMERICAN INDIAN, MEN, WOMEN, YOUNG, MIDDLE,OLD, BLUE, RED, PURPLE, CHRISTIANS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, HINDUS, ATHIESTS, THIS IS OUR TIME – DEMS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Et tu Rangel?

It's time to declare Independence Hillary. I wish all these people would get off their soap boxes. Blame Hillary for Obama limping across the finish line when most black pundits on TV have stated that they knew Rev Wright would be an issue, but they didn't expect it to be an issue until the general election.

Blame Hillary for Obama's comments in San Francisco when he talked about small town voters who have antipathy for others, cling to bibles and guns.

Blame Hillary, Blame Hillary, Blame Hillary…

I for one am thankful that someone vetted BHO before the Dems pulled a snow job on the American people.

If you turn the Channel off of CNN and MSNBC, you losers would get a picture of the real Obama.

Obama=Bush=Carter

All three couldn't find their a*s with a ten man hunting party. Incompetence is as incompetence does.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary.

I am a man, so don't think only women are leaving the dem party.

Questions; Will she have any friend left after all this. Is there someone with enough influence to help Clinton face reality?

Because Hillary only thinks of herself.

After watching the two speaches last night. I am convinced that Hillary doesn't care about this country or the democratic party at all.

I can't stand her !

Sore Loser Mr Rangel…she lost at her own game,
just lets everyone again sees her selfish jealous
ambitions are still driving her to such destruction,
an this is sad to see,…I have no respect for those
who show such ill character….face it Hillary you
are finished…an if you donot back down soon, it
might be politically too.

Gerard in Michigan

We need more of this.

Obama won…let's move on and unify to make sure that the republicans are out of the White House.

All those they feel that they are going to vote for McCain now that HRC is out need to take a long look inside themselves and think about how damaged this nation is after 8 years of republican rule.

There are many that are sad that HRC lost but it's time to get behind Obama and take back Washington for the good of the people rather then the greed of corporations.

Charlie…………it's NOT INCONSISTENT with her selfish, ego-driven campaign for the last year. Even her own campaign staff admitted that "it's Hillary first, the Party second". So why are you surprised??

Have some BACKBONE and take the NY congressional committee and endorse Obama, and state CLEARLY that he has your support.

And if Hillary has a problem with that, IGNORE her. She doesn't have the votes for Denver, so she and Bill are IRRELEVANT at this point.

When has Obama and his supporters been generous or give Hillary any praise? Only now when he realizes that he really does need her supporters. Even Michelle Obama, who has made it very clear that she hates Hillary, has tried to heap praise on Hillary. When has Obama done this? The only time is after Hillary has done this. He has ignored her and treated Hillary with contempt and distain. Hillary owes nothing to Obama. To paraphrase Obama, Hillary "has been" generous "enough". Obama is the illegitimate nominee until the 30 RBC members and the DANK changes its ruling where it hijacked 4 delegates from Clinton as well as giving him delegates that he did not deserve because those were the rules. What does Rangel know about being generous? He cannot even stay loyal to Hillary after he said she was the most qualified candidate and that Obama wasn't ready to be president. Generous, my sweet Aunt Sally. Not one politician, living or dead, with the exception of Bill Clinton, could have put up with as much garbage as Hillary and still won the most votes than any candidate in primary history. Nobody!!

It is right that Hillary Clinton wait to make her decision.
Charlie Rangel should not be so eager to "shut the door " on Hillary Clinton. I would suggest patience.

I very much admire Sen. Rangel. It must have been tempting for him to switch sides along the way. But he stayed the course. This man is one of the insiders who encouraged Hillary to run. When he says he was disappointed… wow. he's been a stalwart Clinton supporter.

I agree, at this point, she's playing the spoiler.

Rangal is a piece of work..even though he's right..he' s still a piece of work.

Hillary,
The party over, the bar and kitchen are closed. It is time to be polite, take Bill and go home.

Hillary has not made one decision as a team player. She has changed the stakes throughout the campaign. The ony reason she has received so many votes is because she chose to put her own interests in front of the democratic party and this great country. If she had gracefully dropped out several months ago when it was clear that he was going to win and she could not, we would be running away with the support and the intentions of the american people in November. Instead, she decided to stay in the eventual failure of her campaign, and traveled around the country, convincing those who were trying to make a good decision, that she wa ok and he was not. Months ago, we could have rallied around our candidate and showed out the republican candidate. Obama is an intelligent, ethical, well-spoken leader who will serve our country like no other. He will surround himself with the same kind of leaders a himself and will do our country proud. What an opportunity this is for all of us.

I certainly agree wih Mr Rangel. Hillary needs to give it up. She is so selfish and cannot be thinking of the democratic party only herself. The woman must be nuts or have some type of mental issues.
I pray that Obama does not put her on his ticket.
The world is getting to know the real Hillary Clinton. I am getting to the point where I can't stand that woman. But I am going to pray for her. She is a big hypocrite. She claimed she was religious at the religion forum.

The woman must be delusional. She has lost. Get over it. Wow, this drama is so amazing to me. It is like a soap opera, The woman is acting like a spoiled brat. Somebody needs to commit her soon!

What "guidance" is "mr. outspoken" Charley Rangel waiting for? does he mean to say that he's not going to endorse Obama if Clinton says not to??

To use his expression, that would be the "dumbest thing" I can imagine.

She has re-energized her supporters for herself, not for Barack! Very divisive! It's a game to her. She could care less about her supporters. Keep donating! It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you agree with her. During this campaign, how many times has she used republican strategy and advice to attack Barack? It's about her, not us. That's why some of her supporters are so angry. It's not about "us", it's about them.

Obama for America! Clinton for Clinton…….

Congressman Charles B. Rangel,
Welcome to the HRC we all knew she would be.
You are a 19 term respected member of the NY delegation, use your clout and judgement to unite the party.

This has gone on too long and too far.

-g-

This is just the beginning of the pummeling she is about to take. Wait until a few days go by and she is still not endorsing Obama, wait until its every Democratic Party leader the media talks to that says they are confused and surprised by her behavior. Her campaign continues to be a strategic blunder; she's making enemies faster than friends right now.

Does HRC really want to waste time and resources by prolonging the nomination race all the way to the convention? C'mon, the Republicans have to be giddy with delight at this. Once again we see the inflexibility of HRC and her last grasp at power. Obama was very graceful and concillatory in his speech. HRC acted as though she was a spurned lover and wanted to burn his clothes in the driveway. Let's get it together people and start working together, otherwise be faced with another 4 or probably 8 years of the Bush/Cheney regime policies.

Obama/Edwards '08 and '12

Her own supporters are right on. She detracted from Obama's historic moment to once again think of only herself.

If she wants any political future she will get behind the nominee….NOW!

Stop the charade………it's over!

Time to turn our attention…..together….toward our real opponent, and that opponent is McBush!

Obama/Nunn in 2008!

THANK MR RANGEL …

June 4th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Do you remember, a few months ago, the horrible specter that one candidate might win the popular vote but that the super delegates would go into a "smoke-filled room" and give it to the other one?
Do you remember, last week, that the rules committee would not make a decision about Florida and Michigan which would alter the outcome of the election?
Well, it looks like both things happened. Obama has 1,762 pledged delegates and could not have reached 2,118 without more than half of the super delegates, and Hillary would also have reached that threshold if she had received delegates according to votes in Florida and Michigan.
This situation has been unavoidable due to the closeness of the race, so I am not faulting Obama for it. I have no problem with congratulating Obama for his success in mustering the delegates to become the presumptive nominee, but I don't think that people should criticize Hillary for not accepting defeat more immediately and more explicitly. It’s not like his victory was won in the voting booth, after all.
The primary was a tie, at best, with the final decision determined only by 27 committee members and 680 super delegates. Why don't we just do the whole thing over again? If that's not really possible, perhaps we should all just respect each other a little bit and recognize that both of them could be on the ticket.

She does not want to support Obama….She can not stand the fact that she missed her chance to make history and that its Obama that will go down in the history books that broke the racial ceiling on the white house. I have seen nothing but hatred and vile attacks from her supporters since last night. Black obama supporters have been getting attacked on blog site after blog site with racial slurs and venomous comments from Hillary Supporters.

she is pure evillllllllllll
naricisistic, look this definition up, you will be convinced this was written with the clintons in mind..
they never apologize
they never accept mistakes
they will never reconized anyone can do better thna they can
they feel entitled,

Clinton's reasoning behind why she'd make a good VP candidate? That Obama needs her to gain the votes of her "loyal fan base." If all of the Clinton supporters out there claim that they won't vote for Obama in November, who is it that you will vote for then? McCain? If that is the case, your vote of "protest" will only morph into a vote to run this country into the ground even further with another Bush-esque term. Look at the issues. Clinton and Obama have nearly identical stances on most issues; McCain, on the other hand, couldn't be more different. Pick yourselves up, Clinton supporters; dust yourselves off. It's time to recognize defeat and support a VIABLE candidate. Seeing as Obama has gained the necessary number of delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, it looks like that leaves only Obama and McCain with the label of "viable."

I'm tired of hearing Clinton supporters whining about being fairly beaten in this marathon nomination process. Isn't it awfully ironic how Hillary had agreed that Michigan and Florida shouldn't be counted because they broke the rules…UNTIL she needed their votes to win? The DNC had no responsibility to cater to these rule-breaking states. No, the voters themselves hadn't broken the rules, but we live in a DEMOCRACY, folks! The state senators and representatives who voted to move both primaries up were elected by the people, and the people should exercise their democratic rights to keep these individuals from being elected next year! Fact of the matter is, these two states CONSCIOUSLY broke the rules, and the DNC had to set an example for other states.

As an Obama supporter, I believe it to be in his best interest to avoid the Clinton option altogether. He cannot afford to be bullied and manipulated by the Clintons and their posse of "shady" characters. The last thing this country needs is another set of distractions brought to you by the neighborhood Clintons (Monica, et al.).

Further proof that Ms. Clinton has no place as our leader.

Thankfully the American people did the right thing.

Whatever! It'll be on her terms, period.

I hope she listens to him, if nobody else. She is only harming herself, now, with this continued attitude. I've lost most of what respect I had left for her over the last few days. As a mature woman, I really hate to say that — but it's true.

Nice try, CNN, in attempting to paint one of her supporters as calling her out on "bad" behavior. HIllary supporters don't believe what you guys report anymore, though your stories are always good for a laugh. Hillary will direct people on what she's going to do next when she's ready to do so. Given how she's been treated by the DNC and the media, she doesn't owe any of you anything (including Obama) so she can take her time and do what's best for her and for her supporters.

Last night's speech was one of the most disheartening political moments I can remember – it should have been one of the greatest nights in the political history of our country but she couldn't stand to not have all of the attention on her. She makes me sick

Dear supporters of Sen. Clinton and others,

With all due respect, the Democratic party chooses their nominee based on the number of delegates, not the popular vote. Choosing the nominee based on the popular vote would disenfranchise the electorate of states that hold caucuses which do not rely on the popular vote for their choice. This is a legal standard that has stood in the Democratic party for decades and was well-understood by all candidates who entered the race. If you think that this method is unfair, then petition your local party representative to have the rules changed. Until then, please respect the voices of all the states, both popular vote states and caucus states, who, by their legal apportionment of delegates, have chosen Sen. Obama as the Democratic party nominee.

Thank you.

HEAR! HEAR!

it is time for Hillary Clinton move on for the good of the Democratic party and the country. She sounding like a spoild brat instead of a US. Senator and former First Lady.

"It's inconsistent with wanting a Democratic victory and not endorsing the Democratic candidate."

DUH, CHARLIE!!! Ya think?!! Ya think Clinton gives an otter's behind about the democratic party, party unity or the direction of the country? This is, and always has been her own personal crusade to take what she believes to be rightfully hers! All of these people — particularly the politicians, who threw their hats into her ring because they truly believed she cared about the party and about the country are now going to have to denounce her for her divisiveness and arrogance. It's a sad testament to about one could have been a great American hero — whether she was ever president or not.

She's a nutjob–I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. If a man was acting like this the party leaders would have jumped all over him. As a woman I want equality–not the coddling HRC is demanding. Thanks, Hillary for setting equal rights back 50 years!!!

KEEP HILLARY CLINTON AWAY FROM BARACK OBAMA – NO VICE PRESIDENCY FOR HER. SHE IS POISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HILLARY ON THE TICKET OR NO VOTE FROM ME

Face it….Hillary wants the VP spot or she and her gang will try to disrupt Denver.

Does she have a doctor or does she need some professional help. I hope someone is with her 24 hrs a day! She may do something stupid someone really needs to talk to her.

CNN – You need to show people what Hillary Clinton is up to.

Last night she said people should write to her and tell her what they wanted her to do, then gave her website address.

If you go to the website, the e-mail telling her what to do is already filled out saying that she needs to keep fighting. There is no option to tell her to concede. All of the mail she gets telling her what people want her to do will be 100% supportive.

It would be a joke if she wasn't putting her own interests before the party and the country.

Please CNN – expose her for what she is.

Thank-you Charlie, maybe you can talk some sense into her. She needs to be clear about her intentions. She also needs to stop trying to force her way onto the ticket. Obama has earned the right to pick who thinks will help him without pressure from her!

And no, I am NOT a republican. I am independent. And I am not a woman. And I will be voting for McCain. To all of you dumb Obama supporters who keep saying McCain=Bush – You are the ones with no logic or reason in your empty "idealistic" brains. The man has a 20 yr record. Go check it out. He has opposed his party many times. He hates GWB as much as you folks hate Hillary and Bill. It is sad how quickly you people forget the peace and the prosperity under Bill. But anyways that is all water under the bridge and it also makes sense to explain and reason with "sane" people. Not insane bots who fall in love with a "candidate" not based on their policies but based on their speeches or how they look. In 2000 you elected bush because you liked him as he was a "common man" – now this time around you are voting for someone who is pretending to be "sophisticated". But the bottom line is that BOTH of them said or are saying that they are the "Uniter". Time will tell. AS for McCain – he has always opposed WAR. ut now that the war has been started by GWB, it is NOT OK for US to cut and run and leave Iraq in shambles. Nobody asked US to invade Iraq. Americans voted 51% for GWB who went to war and they voted him in a second time around. McCain simply is doing the HONOURABLE thing. US has a moral obligation to Iraq to fix the country. having bombed its infrastructure into oblivion you cannot walk away since it is costing you too much money. Well u should have thought about it before going into war. And YES, all of the US citizens, including myself, we are collectively responsible for this. Not democrats – not republicans. Americans who demcoratically elected a cowboy as their presidency HAVE to fix Iraq and if that take 100 years – so be it.

Mr. Rangle,

I've always admired your candor, but your failure to understand who you're dealing with…

She (Hillary) reminds me of a KID that owns the basketball, so when her team LOOSES the game and not pick to play again she'll take the ball and goes home.

i.e. sore looser

If Obama's got it in the bag, what's Rangel's problem. There is no pressure for him or his delegation to do anything. Just going with the flow and saying the same thing as everybody else I guess.

A few more statements like this from Clinton backers and she'll realize how egotistical and arrogant she was in her speech last night.

She needs to concede and endorse. If her own delegation is confused and perplexed think of all of the voters that she claims to be S-O-O cocerned about !!! This is truely sending the wrong message to someone who wants to have the VP spot on an Obama ticket. I could be wrong……but I believe that you have to endorse and support the number one spot in order to be considered for the number two spot ?????

Okay, if Charlie's turning on ya, Hill-Pal, it's time. Seriously. You do NOT want to damage your career.

Think I'm kidding? If Barack Obama loses, whether or not Hillary Clinton is on the ticket, she loses. If it looks like she hasn't done everything she possibly can to get a Democrat into the White House, she loses. If she prolongs this further than the next few days, she loses. And that's different from not winning, which is what happened in the Democratic primaries: no one lost — Hillary Clinton simply did not win. Don't turn yourself into a loser, Madame Senator.

She was basically trying to show Obama, and the rest of the Democrats that her supporters are still "hers" and if he wants them, he better appease her. That's what I saw. She won't make a move to help unify the party until she has what she wants.

How would you feel if you just got screwed buy your party.

Plus there were 18 million voted for you.

The fight should go to Denver. Why not?

I mean this race is done. So leave the lady alone I am sure she will get behind him soon.

I am telling this woman need to be evaluated for for mental problems both her self and her husband are acting strange they could not grasp the fact that obama is the nominee they think they are the only one who are entitled to the presidency.

So what more does it take for her supporters to realize they've been used and she was only in this for herself and not to help the Democratic party?

Obama and the DNC need to just ignore her and continue on. She's lost her chance at saving her political career as far as I'm concerned.

Where's the shepherd’s hook when we need it?

Hillary's still on stage – commanding and DEMANDING that she not be ignored…

It will show GREAT WEAKNESS on Obama's part if he succumbs to such pressure!

OBAMA MUST NOT – UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OFFER HILLARY CLINTON the VP SPOT!!!

This is Obama's opportunity to show his true strength – stand up to the Clintons and take no more bologna – invite no further drama!

I'll like to suggest that Senator Obama picks someone who cuts across both Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and other Keystakeholders interest in the Democratic Party for his Vice Presidential candidate without jeopardizing the "18 million " voters Hillary Clinton claims to "control".
Hillary Clinton can be offered the post of Secretary of State for which she is excellently suited or Secretary of Defence or Health.
Olubowale G.O.

Hillary Clinton has wanted this for a long time and I understand that however, it's over now and the better man won.

Hillary needs to accept defeat, concede, and work her heart out to unite the Democratic party and get Obama elected.

She is seriously in danger of destroying her legacy and all that she has done for our country.

You entered this race for better or worse and now it's over.

Its about time you spoke with some kind of sense!!! I guess better late than never. How could you even support someone who behaves in this manner and doesn't even try to cover up her divisivness. How can you sleep at night nowing that you support someone who does have any dignity and is not humble enough to admit defeat. OBAMA WON FAIR AND SQUARE

HE WON

ALL YA'LL SHOULD BE SAYING IS

CONGRATS AND YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT 110%

She will most likely pull out, in about a week, if not sooner, but by remaining in and letting her supporters think she will take it to Denver she can continue to draw on the donations to pay off her loans.

Her graciouslessness last night removed ANY vestigal support I had for a combined (nightmare) ticket. It showed that she is in it for herself.

Also someone should point out that when add in last nights numbers her claim to have the most votes, by not counting caucuses and counting Michigan votes for her (but giving the 30,000 Mr. Obama writeins in MI) to her she is now BEHIND in total votes by about 2500 votes.

Rangel you should go talk to her maybe you can get her to record it on a CD or something. You stood by her so go talk to her bro!

Charlie … in her self-serving mind … it IS and it ALWAYS HAS BEEN about HILLARY!! She has never shown any indication that she is a team-player and thankfully there is no ball for her to go running home with!!

Because it is the true nature of Hillary Clinton. Why are people surprised? This is exactly why she would not be a good President. She is still looking for a way to get elected one way or another without putting John McCain in office. If she feels she can get enough votes to combat Obama AND McCain at the same time…she will run. In reality, all she is doing is prolonging the inevitable and creating hostility among her followers and the Democratic Party. If she doesn't come out today and concede, she will destroy her career. Let's see where she really stands. On the side of unity or on the side of selfishness.

LEAVE HILLARY ALONE–SHE WILL DO IT IN HER OWN TIME. SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE A DECISION WHEN SHE GETS READY TO–THIS IS AMERICA FOR HEAVEN SAKES–FORGET THE PARTY STUFF–IT IS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS TOO!

Those voting for Obama are doing to because he represents change. The Clintons are linked to many of the problems facing the nation today, such as, the WAR, NAFTA,CAFTA, PAC Money, ect, ect.

Hillary would be a very bad choice for VP. She is acting as if the VP spot is a co-president position already. It's time for her to go.

I totally agree with mr. Rangle. If want the DNC to win in November and If you are going to unite the party do so without conditions and strings attached. HRC behavior last night left a bitter taste in most people's mouth. She must remember DNC does not mean Demanding Narcissistic Clintons.

Let's not be too hasty. I'm still waiting on the Michelle Obama video.

Tell her, Charlie! Remind her what's at stake.

Colin Powell for VP…….please tell Clinton to go home.

I'm an Obama supporter and yet you disgust me! No one knows where you stand mister. Either join Obama or shut up.

Well said. I really liked her if she gave her vote to Obama Yesterday night.

Raz

Did you really expect Sen. Clinton to admit defeat? This word is not in her vocabulary. This was Sen. Obama's evening. This was his evening to celebrate the Democratic Party's accomplishments. This was his night to begin a national campaign. Yet, he took the time to congratulate Sen. Clinton and proclaim her accomplishments. He took the time to begin the ‘healing’ process. He took the time to begin setting the stage for November. But again, Sen. Clinton cannot accept the fact that she is not the nominee.

The true demon in the Clinton's is finally revealed

Beause she's going to run as an independent since she was back stabbed by her party. She going to do a Lieberman and win.

Well said…nuf said.

Lets hear it for Obama/Gore 2008

Rangel, you said it right.
Let her leave the party.

I agree with Rangel, but he was a lot nicer than I would be. Clinton was a disgrace to everything that is American, Democratic, and just plain human last night. I will NEVER support any ticket with her on it.

Sorry Charlie,but you are on the outside now. We told you so but you would not listen. Have fun with Hill and Bill on you guys sinking ship. Gone, Gone, Gone.
Obama08

Charlie, wake up and smell the coffee!

This is what we have been saying throughout the campaign about HRC. She only looks out for herself. Shameful performance last night, once again.

Clinton can take as long as she wants to concede. Meanwhile true democrats, whose first priority is and always will be rebuilding the United States, will be rallying with Sen. Obama to ensure we take down McCain in November.

No matter who he chooses for VP (yes even Hillary), I will support him all the way.

Democrats Unite!

He knows this, the media knows this, I know this and all the American people know this……why doesn't Hillary herself know this? OR if she does, why didn't she concede last night. No V.P. for her ever. She's ruining it for any other female to run for President and she's doing it on purpose. For you Hillary supporters, if you don't see this, you too are delusional. When your daughter or grandaughter decides to run for President and gets laughed at. Thank Hillary for it!

I personally think that Senator Clinton's speech last night was gracious and truthful enough. She does not need to make a decision right now. I think she should stay and fight all the way to Denver. The people have spoken and we are not ready to accept Obama as the nominee even if we have no choice in the matter. Contests are done and it is time to heal. But there is no reason for Senator Clinton to rush into things; why should she? If Obama wants a chance to win in November, he should put her on ticket as the V.P. Millions and millions voted for Hillary and we still stand by her in any decision she cares to make. Keep fighting Senator Clinton. We still love and support you all the way to the convention. GO HILLARY!!

There you at last someone said what neede to be same at the highest level…one of her supporter..

HRC is burning her bridges day by day with her collegues..

The beginning of the end of a era ..08.

Exactly and this is what some want in the whitehouse? Someone who is "bitter" but cant admit they are "bitter"? LOL This is one Bitter American here! But only because she cant get her way like my own toddler does! Why doesnt she just stomp her feet and cry along with her rudeness?

This is not the type of character we need to run or help run our country.

Pride is a deadly sin and it will probably be the death of Billary's VP chances.

The dogs just can't leave Hillary alone. The convention is intended to be the venue for candidate selection. It is stupid for candidates to quit prior to that time.

The worst mistake Hillary could make would be to accept a VP spot with Obama. He will not make a good president. Let him pick Caroline. Then they could have two, know nothing candidates. 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

No one — from Obama to the media — has been gracious to Hillary. This campaign has been rife with sexist attitudes since it began. When others are gracious, maybe then Senator Clinton will return the sentiment.

You just cannot trust Hillary and Bill they have proven that; thru this primary campaign season. You need some you can trust; to me that is the bottom line. You need some that will have your back. Not someone who puts it into your back then twist.

All anyone has to do is look at the way she is acting. She is acting like a three year old falling out in a store when you tell them no you cannot have that.

Someone needs to take her by the hand and talk to her one on one.

Last night Hillary high lighted that she puts herself ahead of the party. By not stepping down last night, and words in her speach, she basically said – I have 18 million voters and if you want them – you better give me something before I let you have this nominee – Another sign of old school politics at it's worst and i'm sick of it! Obama needs to stand up to this and make a point this is his party and if she wants to be part of it, he's all about it, but as the leader, he'll chose how and when that is! Not the other way around!

Hey Obama supporters,

I say that WE ALL take Clinton up on her offer, and go to: HillaryClinton.com

Let's all give her some strong words of encourgament on what she should do next

Get out of the water Hillary. its OVER!!!!!

SHE NEEDS TO BE CONTRITE.

WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT SINCE IT BECAME CLEAR THAT SHE WILL NOT WIN WEEKS AGO!!!

But non-the-less, let us all give her space to do what is right, and show her that we appreciate all the work she has done for women in this country

A UNITED DMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are all of Clintons friends and advisors crude and cunning.? Just dont understand them..This is about the American people and not Billary or Lanny DAvis or Kiki..Real bunch of self-centered bunch!..Lanny are you looking for a job?

Amen Rangel.

I don't think Hillary knows how to be "far more generous" about anything other than empty promised to the poor.

Her own supporters are questioning what the hell she is doing.

Doesn't that tell you something???

It is time for someone to grab the cane and pull her off the stage. Then close the curtain. For good.

I think all the Superdelegates need to remove their support of Clinton and endorese Obama. This includes Rangel. We need to rally behind Obama reguardless of what the Clinton's plan to do.

Obama '08

About time someone spoke the truth.

He told you Hillary!

Hey Senator, this is your candidate, maybe you can talk some sense into her. And let her know that she has disrespected Obama and his 18 million supporters.

Hillary should have conceded. The only reason I can figure that she would "stay in the race" is to solicit her supporters for more campaign donations to pay back her $11.4 million personal "loan." As long as she's "in the race", she can solicit funds. After Denver, her "loan" becomes a contribution – ouch!

Ego, fame, greed, money – pick one why Hillary is not conceding yet.

Hillary needs to run as an Independent. Who cares about the Democrats who have treated her so disrespectfully? I am so disgusted by the way this primary has been run that I sent off my paperwork today to drop out of tthe Democratic Party after being a member for 30 years, and I will vote for McCain in November.

McCain '08, Clinton '12

Good for you Charlie Rangel!!!!

When you break it down, how many of the 17 million plus Hillary voters were sincere or part of Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos? I suspect by the time the general election rolls around, there will be a very small minority of Clinton voters who were Democrats that will vote for McCain.

Obama is already looking Presidential if you saw his address to the AIPAC discussing his plans for Israeli support and his plans for that region in general.

And that's what it is all about – Obama has started preparing for how he is going to win in Novemeber and reshape America. Hillary still thinks she is going to be the nominee. Big difference.

Go light one up Rangel. Hillary is set on destroying the party.

and just how many more lamentations of Rangel regarding Clinton must we endure this election season?

He should just get a "She' sorry" button for his sport coat and then he could stop making excuses for her.

sen. hillary speech was great last night know matter what oboma's says

Oh, come on, gimme a break.

Cut her some slack.

Give her a day or two or three to decide what she wants to do. IT'S NOT OVER UNTIL SHE SAYS IT IS….. NO MATTER HOW EAGER EVERYONE IS TO CROWN OBAMA PRINCE OF THE UNIVERSE (GAG).

It's all about Hillary and her ego. She feels she has power the way she is handling this situation. The leaders of the Democratic Party need to stop the madness.

What? A Clinton supporter with some sense? Impressive.

WE DON'T WANT OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!

The primary race is over. We have our nominee.

Vote Democrat, or four more years of Dick Cheney's policies.

End the nightmare, VOTE DEM!!

Charlie just go on over their with your pick Obama. You don't have to give us excuses. We know which side of the fence your on.

Obama has won 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 still 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. This nation cannot afford to deal with any more of the past or current scandals!

If the Clinton supportes want to roll over to McCain, so be it. No DEM should beg or worship these people! 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.
