Well said, Brian. I especially like your argument against Sen. Obama's 'lack of experience'. As though more years in Washington will help. That's all Sen. Obama has to say when McCain argues that he has more experience.

I truly don't understand why Clinton supporters feel their votes were "ignored." It was a hotly contested race, certainly, but *someone* had to win, and Obama won, not just the overall delegate count but even among just the pledged delegates chosen by the states.

Clinton herself has said that it would be a grave mistake to support McCain. I hope those who had faith in her ability to serve as president will also have enough faith in her judgment to take the time to follow her line of reasoning and make an informed choice in November. To vote for McCain because you truly prefer his platform to the Democratic platform is a rational position; to simply vote for McCain out of spite because your preferred candidate didn't win the primary, however, would make no sense at all.

The nominee still showing her a full respect,i tell you OBAMA is an humble creature and that is why God has appoint him

One of the primary reasons Barack Obama is the Democratic Nominee is because the American people are wide awake…We have awaken from our deep sleep thanks to President Bush, McCain, and the rest of the GOP…and listen to us carefully…While we were sleeping the GOP gave our money to the wealthiest people in the country and we want it back! While we were sleeping, the Bush/McCain administration damaged our reputation around the world and we want it restored! While we were sleeping, the Bush/McCain administration drastically reduced the value of the American dollar to make it worth one half the value of the EURO and we want it strengthen! While we were sleeping, the Bush/McCain administration put us in a never-ending, unnecessary war and we want out!! So CNN and the rest of the media outlets, you can try to help the GOP by encouraging division between the Clinton & Obama supporters, please go ahead and try, we will show you in November that we are WIDE AWAKE and we want CHANGE

It's time for the Dem's to unite. I ask that the Clinton supporters put aside their anger and get behind our Democratic Candidate. He and Senator Clinton wants the same thing for this country. A write-in, or vote for McCain would squelch everything she's fought for in this campaign and a vote of that nature would do nothing honorable for her. If you love her, honor her.

Also, be carefuld Dem's on this blog. There are Republicans on this site still trying to continue to divide us. No sain thinking Democrate would write in Senator Clinton's name on a ballot, that is a thrown away vote and would accomplish nothing and hurt her in the long run.

As the Supreme Court reminded us all in 2000 it is not the popular vote that counts, it is the Delegates, or Electoral members that do. People need to get over the whole 'popular' vote.

A vote for McBush is essentially saying that you support staying in Iraq another 5 years (at least), seeing thousands more of our sons and daughters killed on the other side of the world, that you support a foreign policy that is CREATING more hatred against our nation (ie: creating more terrorists), that you are happy with the economy and how it affects your household and you childrens future, and that you wholeheartedly support everything that Bush has done.

If you stop and think about it you know that this perspective is correct.

To choose Hillary for VP would be lose.lose for Obama & the Democratic Party:
1. She does not represent the change that Obama has been promoting
2. She has been divisive for her own self-interest RATHER THAN HER COUNTRY
3. She has been too adamant about getting the nomination
4. She is dishonest (Bosnia)
5. With the drive to register new voters, young and old, Obama can offset the number of detracting Hillary supporters that would prefer another 5 more years of Bush rather than vote for Obama. This is RACISM hiding behind Obama's inexperience.

TO BETILU:

YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR WHOMEVER YOU LIKE. BUT I MUST TELL YOU THAT A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR.....

CONTINUED WAR WITH IRAQ, AND POSSIBLY IRAN

MORE NATIONAL DEBT, WE HAVE $10 TRILLION AND COUNTING, I SUPPOSE GEORGE W. REFLECTS YOUR VALUES...... THIS ENORMOUS DEBT HAS BEEN ACRUED DURING HIS 8 YEARS IN OFFICE

MORE AMERICANS WITHOUT HEALTHCARE

MORE OF OUR TROOPS COMING HOME DEAD, MAIMED OR ........WORSE, COMMITTING SUICIDE (THOUGH THE PENTAGON TRIED ITS BEST TO HIDE THESE FACTS!)

SO, SISTER, GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MORE OF THE SAME FAILED POLICIES........ KEEP THE REPUBLICANS IN RULE UNTIL THEY HAVE TORN OUR NATION APART

UNTIL THEY HAVE BANKRUPTED US!

I suspect that the majority of posters claiming that now that Hillary is out of the race they are going to vote for McCain are actually GOP operatives looking to sow distention in the democratic party to make it appear there is a movement. I suspect these GOP operatives are hurt that Hillary won't be on the ticket because the Clinton name is reliable bait for right-wing fundraisers (much like Ted Kennedy) and they simply don't have that kind of reaction when using Barack Obama in their mailings.

If you are a democrat, and truly feel that McCain, despite the fact that he represents a continuation of most of the Bush policies which have been a total disaster for this country, should be elected over Obama... you need to think long and hard about why you feel that way....

I hop Hillary refuses his offer–I will still vote McCain, however, as I do not trust him or his followers.

This is very good....we need to be united so that we can win in Nov.....

Please folks, let's be nice to Hillary and her supporters....If Barack can, we can be nice too....

Whoever David is above, I could not have said it better. ALL Dems need to unite, so no more bashing of Hillary by Obama supporters. Being ungracious winners is as bad as her group appearing to be sore losers.

My reasons for supporting Obama, I am 44, white, 3 kids and still presently registered as a Republican (will change it over shortly). I see him as like me, married mid-40's, couple of kids. I can relate to him, regardless of race, and would like to see someone of my generation in charge. I recognize his lack of experience but am not sure what another 6 years in the Senate would provide him. Those of you who are older and supported JKF in 1960 should be able to remember those feelings, even if you supported Hillary this time around. I also militantly believe we should vote out EVERYONE (dem or repub) who voted for the war.

Had she voted against the war she would have won this in a walk. Clinton supports just need to embrace that thought. I did not support her for that sole reason, not because she is a woman (my wife does not support her either) or because of Bill.

2012 is a long way away and a lot could happen. The stars are aligned for Dems to take full control, don't screw it up.

EBC,

Good Post. At least somebody have their head on straight.

I remember my mama and daddy always taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it. They also taught me that people who constantly issue idle threats are BULLIES and COWARDS. So, all you HRC and Obama supporters who write daily posts about how much you dislike one candidate or the other need to just SHUT UP! Those HRC supporters who won't vote for Obama and the Obama supporters who won't vote for Obama if Hillary is on the ticket are full of crap. If you had any intelligence, courage and maturity, you'd think long and hard about hurting the Democratic party because your feelings are hurt. That's what children do.

Each person who posts is only speaking for himself/herself, so to say that you speak for the 17 million HRC supporters or the 17 million Obama supporters is silly and stupid. Stop acting like children and remember those simple rules your mama and daddy taught you. Stop hiding behind your computer screens. Most of you wouldn't dare say these things in person, so stop it!

All those Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain are idiots. You are not only hurting yourselves, but you are hurting your party and your country. Shame on you.

I remember when clinton was struggling to catch on she kept on saying pledged delegates can change their position!!..meaning that Obama's pledged del. could go to her.
Now that she lost what does it mean she is keeping delegates as if these are not human beings who can change their mind?
I also think that obama-Clinton isn't the best idea because Obama stands for CHANGE and clinton has still some OLD washington baggage not to mention Bill's own.it will be crowded in there!!!
I hope Obama finds somebody better if it is woman but who doesn't lead a negative compaign.
Good Luck..Mr. president!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE!

Obama '08!

I am not original: NEVER TRUST CLINTONS. But meeting is OK. If Barack agree in general to talk with Ahmadinezhad (?...whatever) why don't talk with Clinton(s)?

Yeah, I'm not real jazzed that my campaign contributions may go to Clinton's debt. She needs to pay for her stubborness.

Good to see at least an appearance of unity. We'll never know the 'real' dynamic that exists between these two, but unity is the key to us winning in November and it's critical that that's what supporters on both sides perceive. As for VP choices, let's let Mr. Obama make his decision in due time and support WHATEVER decision he makes. I think everyone can agree that there are pros and cons to a joint ticket. Mr. Obama has made it very clear that he will carefully weigh the candidates for VP and not make a hasty decision based on emotion...he wants to make the decision like say a PRESIDENT would! That's a very good thing.

Finally, for those Hillary supporters who are still angry...the disappointment is understandable, but we MUST defeat McCain. Consider that Roe v. Wade and other issues close to many Democrats hearts are at stake with a McCain presidency.

I LOVE OBAMA!! WOO HOO!! OBAMA 2008!!

YES WE CAN!!

ITS TIME TO CHANGE

Senators Obama and Clinton met Thursday to clear the air of disagreements expected in any campaign, and with vows to work together for the common good of the Democratic Party. So why do some members of their individual campaign supporters find it so hard to do the same? It's one thing to have personal feelings as to whether to support one or the other of these two, and quite another to feel compelled to continue your personal trashing of your less favorite of the two. Never has this old addage need to be applied: If you now support the elected candidate, let your voice be heard loud and clear; if you don't, then please shut up and refrain from the inappropriate negative and personal criticism of the opposing candidate. In other words, get a life!!!

I will begin a petition to have Hillary as a write-in. Obama is not qualified to be President. We have already had 8 years of on the job training. Do we really need another 4? Thank you Democrats for the mistreatment of Senator Clinton. You have now made realize how I should be an Independent.

As an avid obama supporter, i suggest that we all stop be aggresive towards hillary's supporters. Those words we use are not UNITING!!

Obama 08

Obama had better meet with her and offer her the VP position if he wants to be President, otherwise he is toast.

Personally I think eveyrone on here that left a message is completely not right and uneducated!! Full of hatred and immaturity....it's sad....real sad.....

I am hillary supporter adn will back her up no matter what!!

Fight, have an open mind, and love is what everyone nneds

And think before you speak!!! That goes for media, politicians, and Americans of all kinds!!

Women will be more powerful becuase of Clinton and that is a fact!!!

I love the republicans posing as democrats for mccain, wont work but nice try.

David and Paulett – thank you for your thoughtful comments. Your research, common sense and intelligence are inspiring! Hillary will do the right thing and support Obama, even if some of her supporters do not.

Dems 08!

So, say you have a daughter, her name is Heidi and she plays on a soccer team. She's been on the soccer team a long time and is co captain with another little boy, Orlando. Of course, you are Heidi's biggest fan and cheer her on at every game. You love the team, the Ladybugs, but especially your little Heidi. In the last game of the season, the game that will make your team the champs over the defending team, the Comets, Heidi is taken out of the game because she injures herself on the field. Now, Orlando will have to make the winning shot in overtime that will give your team the win.......so............

Sure, your precious Heidi is out of the game, but are you really not going to cheer on Orlando and the Ladybugs?! IT'S STILL YOUR TEAM, IT STILL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT. Are you now a fan of the Comets because Heidi is out of the game? You should stay loyal to your team, whether your star player is out of the game or not. How can you call yourself a Ladybugs fan if you root against your own team?

Its time for party unity, however I wanted to set the record straight: HRC LOST . She was not the victim her supporters want her to be and her supporters should get over it. Those same people who continue to whine are hurting her by portraying her as a hapless female or a chronic whiner if not a outright "bend the rules as you go" player. The others are really republicans who are desperate and infiltrating the camps to derail the Democratic process.
No I don't think she derves the VP ( if she wanted it) . If she has October suprises so be it. Obama will pick who he thinks is the right choice for VP and maybe place HRC in a cabinet position. Its time to look at the big picture. McCaine is Bush another 4 years, and oh, women, he will overturn Roe v Wade.

Nice to see them get along. If we supporters can get along, we will win in November. For those mad women planning to vote for McCain because of perceived sexism, you're basically blaming democrats for their diversity, the Republicans would not even entertain a female candidate. You can get mad all you want, but the party you are getting mad at is your home.

Obama 08

Some people need to mindful that this is a discussion forum not a newspaper add. Cut down on your post. I thought there was a word limit.

I am glad that the meeting was productive and I am also glad that the media is finally starting to respect the need for some things to be private until everything has been sorted through.

DEMS 2008 !!!!

I want to point out some disturbing facts that I think is being overlooked. If you are a Clinton supporter and you write her in... Most states will not accept write ins and they require her permission. So no vote. Let's say she agreed to write ins. Then the vote is split and both Democratic candidates lose. Next scenario. You want her to run as an Independant. Same result as the last. The vote splits and they both lose. Now to the final act. Let's scuttle Obama and then Hillary can run in 2012. If the polls and the facts reflect that Clinton supporters killed Obama's chances for the Presidency do you think true Democrats (and I say true because the real Dems will vote with the nominee) are going to thank you? Do you think 4 more years of McCain/Bush are going to make people forget it was your group that caused this. I will give you the truth as I see it. You have the right to cast your vote in any way you choose and for any reason you choose. But remember this and please believe it. Senator Clintons political career will be over and it will be doomed by all of you. Not by Obama, the DNC or the Republicans. It will be doomed by you.

"Marla June 6th, 2008 12:42 am ET

Yahoo news is running the headline of Obama being open to helping pay off her debt.

Please, please Obama. Do not do that!!

She got her ownself into debt she can get herself out of it."
----------–
He's not allowed to pay off her debt. He can't give her money.

But he could give her his voters list, and she could solicit them herself.

Well I must say: I don't hate Hillary after all and in my heart admire her.

Please follow this political axiom.

Until Hillary has made her announcement, the Democratic party is in a state of coup. This is a widely accepted view. In fact, Hillary has hijacked the party and that makes Hillary, by definition, a political terrorist.

She should pull a Lieberman and run as an independent.

The dems hate Liebby, but they can do NOTHING about him because without him they do not have a majority in the Senate.

I would love it if Hillary ran as an independent this fall, though from the looks of it, she's going to get a sizeable portion of othe vote anyway.

There is a big surprise coming!

I am sorry, but having followed this contest very closely and switched allegiance to Obama when Hillary's campaign turned divisive, I feel she is not to be trusted. Her talk about party unity is just not convincing, especially after her appalling speech the night of Obama's nomination, in which she chose not to congratulate him on his historic victory.
I reject and denounce her as Obama's VP.

What the DNC may not realize it that by disenfranchising 18,000,000 Hillary supporters and twisting a knife into Hillary at the DNC Rules meeting on Saturday they have effectively made us into a group, one that is very powerful. It was a no-brainer that Obama got 90% of African americans to vote for him. That campaign was easy compared to the job yet to be done. Getting Hillary supporters who do not trust, like or believe in him to vote for him is the hard part. We do not need to be reminded of John McCain's negatives. What Obama's real problem is to convince us he is credible and capable (the author does not yet think so). A.A.s voted as a block in this election just because of Obama's color, not because of his qualifications. If women or "bitter white people" vote as a block against Obama, he is in deep trouble. He better realize with a little humility (not Obama's style) that he can't just ride in on his little chariot giving pretty speeches to attract the 18,000,000 who still love and respect Hillary and feel Obama was the one who not only stuck the knife into her (us) but twisted it.

Jody,

Thanks so much for giving me a real chuckle, everything is so serious now, we really need a little time out.

I just finished typing a very in depth comment addressing all democrats. Guess what happened to it? CNN zapped it, they did not even send it to moderation! So now I am going to make this comment short and not so sweet.

To all true democrats, please do something about this Clinton for McCain website. This may be a huge sham put together by McCain's supporters. True democrats will NEVER vote for McCain and his same old, same old, policies!

CNN, please have more respect for people who take the time to address a very important process.

I can't believe how many Obama supporters are still bad-mouthing Clinton. Not a smart move if you want her supporter's votes this fall.

I suggest everyone move on to the general election and stop this back and forth about Hillary. You're only making the wound worse.

Methinks some comeuppance will come this fall and I will be delighted to see it.

Jenny, thank you so much for speaking on behalf of so many of Senator Clinton 's supporters. Vvery well said. Please you should write to the DNC. People are talking so much about Senator Clinton' s speech on Tuesday's night. They forget that an election was going on, she won in South Dakota. Obama was very disrespectful to claim victory that night. The superdelegates rushed to his side. Please allow me to remind you that when Hillary won in West Virginia, Edward rushed to endorse Obama to diminished her huge victory. I support Hillary however, I will not vote for the Democratic Party in November.

@ william June 6th, 2008 2:30 am ET Hillary we can not vote for this man no matter how much you try to convince us. We would rather have a man who has the experience to run a our country till you can run again. I will not give this man a dime of money nor my vote in november.
-----------------------------
Just by your comment, it’s obvious that you are jealous and scared to believe that a minority can do something you can‘t do, He will still have achieved more than you could dream of, your problem is he is smarter then, not what you thought a black man was, and you are scared that a black man will be the President of the Country, makes changes for all and help make our Country better than it has in years. That said, you will just be you. Just telling the truth....

Get over it the Clitons suppporters there is other people out there than the Clitons. She is thinking of only her self. If she was so worried about the people she would of stood up behind Obama . She still wont give it up all the way. I F THE CLITON SUPPORTERS REALLY WANT MORE MEN DIEING IN A WAR or DOES SHE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good ! THANK YOU JESUS !!!!!

Now it is time for ALL of us to unite and elect Senator Obama in November.

Our country has alot of problems. UNITED and only UNITED will we be able to to fix them.

Let's just hope and pray that whatever Obama and Hillary discussed and decided will be the BEST for our country !!!

it still amazes me that people can sit here and type about how "you guys" did this or that to us and we'll never forgive you.....and it's done by both side......

Obama supports did this........
Clinton supports did this.........

And both side are guilty of doing the same things.

It's time to get over it already and start thinking of Nov and how we can make sure that McCain doesn't get into the White House.

Both sides were rude, wrote nasty things, thought they were smarter than the other side....yada yada yada......

Obama won.....Clinton lost.....nobody stole anything....the people cast their votes, and more were in favor of Obama......now we have to move on to the next step.

Sour grapes by the Clinton supports won't do anything except help McCain win the election. Do you really think that is going to help anyone????? He can say what he wants, but the fact is, he voted in accord with Bush like 95% of the time. Don't hand him the election just because you're pissed. Stop and think!

Obama is the only choice in '08

Hey you guy try to do something more important for your life than writing hate messages. If you really think what you write you won't even write it.
First help yourself and other members of your family to get by. Clinton, Mcwar( Mccain), Obama,and their family have a secure future. Don't be so stupid. you have moer important than that.

Which is it? Did Senators Obama and Clinton meet at her Washington, DC home or at the home in D.C. of Dianne Feinstein? As 7 a.m. today, CNN stated the latter. Since today is June 6th, the date of the article and live news, one of them should be corrected.

If its productive thats all that matters. The Dems. are in trouble right now and both these 2 need to work through their differences and that doesn't necessarily mean putting her on the ticket.

I agree....It baffles me as to how you could go against everything Hillary stands for and vote for McCain just because she is not the nominee.

I can honestly say that if Obama wasn't the nominee I would vote for Clinton bc they are so similar in their positions on the real issues.

Come on people. We aren’t picking the captain of the kick ball team in 5th grade. Think before you vote.

Closet Republican......................bernice June 6th, 2008 2:01 am ET

She that can not be named will lose in 2012 because we will not forget!!

To BO supporters, I think the reasons why HRC supporters may sit out the next election or vote JM are fairly obvious. The DNC and Media have ganged up together. Just listen to the Cafferty File for one thing. Look at all the sexist comments about HC's figure, her hair, her clothes. by other members of the media!

Finallty, the young BO supporters have said many outrageous things on Blogs from dissing HC or dismissing HC''s supporters as half breeds nitwits. Now you need HC's support and that of many of her supporters to allow BO to win the General election.

I suspect many will do the right thing but many will not.....and I think there are more of the latter and this could very easily cost the Dems the WH..

HC is 60 years of age and could easily just retire or get out of poltics and still earn millions sitting on corporate boards, doing books etc....The lady was not even afforded the opportunity to lick her wounds after last Tuesday without the vultures out seeking blood. What an ungrateful party to not respect a family that has done so much.

got news for everyone. yteh reason why this unity thing keeps getting shoved down out throats is because the dem party IS in real danger of becoming a third party. they are losing members faster than they have ever before and they are truly afraid. they, the dnc leadership, ONLY care about the party and DO NOT care about the people. this is true. they would even TELL hillary to suck it up and throw support behind obama whether he likes it or not and so who are the real reps of the people here? there are none. the dnc decides who they want to run against the republicans even when the niumbers show otherwise. and they wonder why there are so many angry american? when you dont listen to us we get mad and we seek to do the same. if not hillary at the convention, then mccain in november. you ask us why mccain? well why obama? when you say because of the party then you prove the point,...the party means more than the candidate and the people.

Per her debt. $1 dollar for every "vote" of hers.

do you Hillary supporters actually think that if you vote for McCain that we Obama supproters would actually vote for her in 2012 I THINK NOT!!!! remeber Obama got millions of votes also and if McCain wins and hillary runs in 2012 she will need us Obama supprters to win so therefore you hillary supprters that say you are voting for McCain need to be very careful on what you are doing.

I think Hillary supporters are over-0estimating themselves by saying 18 million etc...18 million my foot. Not all Hillary suporters are blind and delusional like some on this forum and many of them will see reason.

and even if they dont, they will be more than compensated by republicans who will cross over to vote Blue this november.

Go Dems !

Hillary is a deceptive, corrupt politian. She is holding her delegates in the hope she can steal the nomination at the convention.

I think as a leader and a person who is able to cross the party lines, I think his choice should be General Powell......... Although I am not gonna start a petition or website to force the idea down his throat........

this woman is so evil, she has not conceded,
she has not release the delegates
she has not apologize for her comments all along

he can not pay her debts it is illegal so dont worry about that

he is always taking the high road

she is pure evil i wouldnt trust her.. or billy boo,

they are always plotting who to get next, what , and how much money they can make..

Don't pay her dept she use the money to destroy you. 3.0Am call, GOP they start to use the Ad's to Attack you and now you pay her bills.
if she want you to pay her bill's first tell her to
1. To denounce and reject those kind of Ad's that were used agaist you.
2.Do not Involve Clinton's Campan Time especial Harold Ickey and her Chairman even her Communication Director those are worse people they are going to make sure that your going to lose thise election .

As far as paying off her debt...I don't think he can just give her money out of his donations. He can however, do a fundraiser with/for her and give her some or split the proceeds.

Don't trust her. Don't pay off her debt. Don't put her on the ticket.

It's time for all the name calling to end and everyone to unite. There have been nasty messages from both sides of this campaign and none of those are productive. Each side is guilty of this–it only takes a few "loose cannons" to rile all of us. Just like all groups of people, some take the high road and some take the low road. Some use facts, some emotions. Both the candidates worked hard and had devoted supporters. Let's respect that and move forward, just like these candidates are trying to do.

Thank you Paulette and others like you. Let's work together to reverse the course our country is on right now.

Barack Obama will be the next President. He is much more qualified than the man that's there now. With the the team he has in place, he will make the right choice when it's time and he's ready to select a running mate. I do not hate HRC, but she would not be my choice. He'll have enogh to keep him busy without having to constantly watch his back from her and Bill.

LET'S UNITE DEMOCRATS!

THE TIME OF BICKERING AND CAMPAIGNING IS OVER!

I'M AN DIE-HARD HILLARY SUPPORTER, BUT I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA 100%!

NO 4 MORE YEARS OF GDUBYA MCSHAME!!!!!

UNITE DEMS!!!!

DEM'S 08/12!!!!!

shes gonna keep her delegates just in case the super d's decide that obama really isnt what they thought he was and just in case the super d's decide that clinton IS the more electable. then they will use the convention to come over to her side. smart move. she can back him alll she wants then sit back and let the republicans beat him up enough to show the country and the super d's that obama really isnt the most electable and not the best choice for president.

Finally I see a picture published on CNN.com where Hillary barely falls short of looking like a bitter obsolete old lady. Would it be because the Obama CNN crusade is very aware that Hillary is now a very much needed piece for Obama?

Today, I am proud to be an American.

The grace and maturity that our next president showed towards Hillary speaks volumes of his ability to create peace.

To the supposed Hillary supporters who keep saying that all of her 18 million voters will not support Obama:

STOP SPEAKING FOR US!

I voted for Hillary in the primaries, but will definitely support Obama in the general election. So will my wife, another supporter.

In fact, most of us who voted for Hillary loved Obama, but just thought it would be better for the party if he were VP for 8 years and then president for the next 8. We are democrats, though, unlike you Limbaugh Republicans who pretend to be otherwise.

David, thank you for your articulate letter and thoughts.

I also would like to add, for those saying they will vote for McCain – don't you realise that Clinton is going to be brought into the Administration if Obama is elected? She will be given a post of her choosing probably. Her "baby" Universal Health Care will become a reality and she will probably be the one in charge of that and able to claim a long victory, she will go down in history as the one who fought for and changed it – finally.

So please consider Hillary's future, and what she would be able to accomplish for America and Americans if she was in the Administration – a possibility only if Obama is elected. If you elect McCain, she will be regulated to just being a Senator again.

As a lifelong Democrat, I find myself at a crossroad where I may vote for McCain. I am not opposed to Obama but I can not vote for someone whose campaign is based on being the first Africa-American to be a presidential candidate for one of the main parties.

Them I thought, maybe he could be a godd president until I saw the shirts that have both his picture and MArtin Luther Kings.There is no comparison here, King was a man with a real vision and I find it repulsive that Obama would let himself be used as the next King.

Go Republicans!

It seems clear that Hillary's die-hard supporters will never vote for Obama regardless of what she says, so in a way i wonder, why do we need her at all? I don't trust her for a nanosecond. On the other hand, I do believe in unity to the extent possible, because any real democrat will not want McCain in the White House.

Still not donating any more money to Obama or the DNC if there's a chance any of it will go to pay off her campaign debts!

But I will vote for him regardless of who his VP is.

Democrats unite.We are one family and we need to destroy GOP Hat/War mongering machine this fall !

Luv and Peace to all non republicans !

Watching the interaction between them during the campaign, like during the debates, I sometimes got the feeling that they really like each other. Call me crazy......my husband did.
In my humble opinion...at this time....there is really no one else out there that would meet Obama's needs to make a perfect team. She may have even taught him Campaign 101 on the trail. They are a perfect fit.

But my preference is for Hillary to run again in 2012. Most of us will not jump ship like some super-rats. It will be difficult if she is vp. She should think about waiting with us, walk into her old job with her head high, and REMEMBER that she outlasted, outdid and outdrank the bunch that ran with her, splendidly.

We love you, Hillary.

This x-hillary supporter is casting a vote for McCain this November.

McCain 08

Any Hillary supporter that would vote for McCain to spite Obama is probably also:

1. A huge fan of American Idol
2. An avid watcher of Entertainment Tonight
3. A frequent WalMart customer
4. Big on Fast Food
5. A waste of skin

I hope she invited Barack and Michelle to her party on Saturday. It would be great to announce a very big surprise guests at the end of her speech, and introduce them as the next president and first lady of the United States.

That would be awesome.

Who do you think you are hurting by supporting John McCain?
.

The leaders in the Dem Party will make sure to defeat Clinton in 2012 if Obama loses in Nov. She is finished!! The wicked witch is dead!!!!

To all of you women supporters of Hillary who proclaim

McCain 08
Hillary 12

Please rethink your stance. Remember, Roe V Wade.

With McCain, it will be overturned and women will lose the right to choose.
Do you really want that?

For all of you saying DON'T VOTE FOR MCCAIN or DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA...

NEWS FLASH

This is the United States of America, and we have the choice to vote for whomever we want!

Quit telling each other who to vote for! Mind your own business!

Good Job,
Hillary Clinton should be V.P , then it is gauranteed Victory in November,
thank you

What puzzles me to no end is the Hillary supporters that say they would vote for McCain if she were not on the ticket. Seeing as Hillary and Obama have very similar views on the issues, one can only imagine why they were Hillary supporters to begin with if they are willing to cross party lines and vote for McCain, someone who has radically different views on the issues.

I won't McCain. If Hilary is not the VP, I either will not vote in November or write her in as President.

THE DEMS PRIMARIES ARE OVER AND OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE.
YET THERE ARE STILL SO MANY MORONS (OBAMA SUPPORTERS) OUT THERE ATTACKING HILLARY CLINTON AND DRIVING HER SUPPORTERS TO MCCAIN.. PINHEADS, PINHEADS
PINHEADS. YOU ARE ONLY HURTING OBAMA.
AND THEN THEY ALSO UNDERESTIMATE MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.! HAVE YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS HEARD THE FAMOUS PHRASE " I HAVE NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT"
REMEMBER THAT WHEN MCCAIN AND THE GOP BEGIN UNLEASHING FOR THE GENERAL ELECTIONS. THEY ARE RELENTLESS AND THEY HAVE MORE RESOURCES THAN YOU THINK. I AM A DEMOCRATIC SUPPORTER. BUT I AM DISENCHANTED BY THESE OBAMA SUPPORTER MORONS. WHO SHOULD COMMEND HILLARY FOR ENDING HER CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT OBAMA. EVEN WORSE, THEY KEEP DRUMMING OUT HILLARY OUT OF OBAMA'S CHOICE FOR VP. KEEP IT UP YOU OBAMA PROPS AND YOU WILL REGRET IT. NOVEMBER IS MANY MONTHS AWAY. AND I REPEAT, "MCCAIN WHO KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE HOW TO FIGHT, HAS NOT YET BEGUN TO FIGHT"

Even if Hillary is on the ticket ....I don't know if I can vote for the Sanctimonious Obama....DUE- more than anything- to his and his followers- and their unjust ethics & tactics .. that put the nomination in his lap.

Not to mention that of the DNC and, the Media's determination to see the man they choose put into office.

To all you Obama supporters out there... that actually has someone in Iraq .....See how fast they come home with him in charge.

President Obama

Vice President Hillary Clinton

2nd Vice President Bill Clinton

The Clintons will do everything they can to outshine Obama and keep themselves in the spotlight

I hope he has a good food taster

Why do people think we are being un-american because we will
not vote for Obama? Just because we are democratics does that mean we have to vote for someone that we do not believe in.

Obama does not impress me with his "Yes We Can" speeches.

The Rev Wright, Bitter comments, Michelle Obama's comments
his ties with terriorists, the flag pin just dosen't sit well with me.
How can I vote for someone I do not trust. I really don't like McCain,
but I do trust him. He is certainly a true american and loves this
country. I do not feel voting for him will be another Bush term.

Unless Hillary runs as an Independant I will vote for McCain.

Maybe the primary was divisive. Maybe there was dirty pool played on both sides. Maybe many long-term Clinton supporters did shamelessy abandon her and jump on the Obama bandwagon. But all of that is to be expected in politics, even within the Democratic party.

That being said, the so-called Democrats who childishly threaten voting for the GOP candidate is way beyong the expected. That's the kind of thinking that got us Bush in the White House, the wars, the National debt our grandchildren will be paying for, the " Patriot Act" invading our privacy. Could you hand them another four years over hurt feelings? How sad.

Mr. Obama is a great speaker, and a good politician. He did a great job defeating Hillary for the nomination. Hillary is a powerful, smart woman with a well oiled political machine. I only hope he has the substance to make good on his victory, and truly believes his oaring rhetoric, for all of our sakes.

I also hope and pray he is smart enough to pick Hillary as VP. There is no one else who could come close to her. He still has my vote regardless. He may not be the President Hillary would have been, but the alternative is four more years of sliding into the abyss.

why would any one vote if edwards was on the ticket? sorry but i am for hillary and so is my family from mich. ohio and mss. we all thought that he is not ready and so we are setting home . what more can the white house do to us now we are up to are nacks in bill etc. nov can come and go we give up/

IF Hillary supporters are still on that same mind set I will not vote for Obama , McCain instead then you are not and never had the same views has Mrs.Clinton Her and Obama want the same for USA not McCain is the MCSAME which Hillary is 100% against so go ahead vote for McCain and see what you get DUMB MINDED PEOPLE < A TRUE DEMOCRAT KNOW S THIS as Hillary will state Saturday you are voting for some important issues this year , I guess you all can pay $5 or 6 per gallon of gas and agree with the war do not forget women's rights may be lost TWO Judges up this term . But you must agree we the way USA is headed IF you will vote for Mcsame

McCain strong on National Security???????????Part of his platform is his intention to force freedom of religion throughout every country in the world. America has to recognize once and for all they have no right interferring in the business of other nations.

These ridiculous tactics are exactly why there is so much hate and distrust for the U.S. worldwide. McCain is a symbol of America's intent to force the western culture and way of life on the rest of society and this generates both fear and hate which in turn generates fodder for justifying terrorism.

"Amen" to Jenny. I agree 100%.

I will NOT support Obama, you fools are blind-sided by all his pretty speeches. What chnage?? You mean his changing from his racist church? Or his change form Renko..exactly what change is trying to make??
I see a man who is good at speeches and that is it. Or should I say good at READING speeches written for him. I see no savior of the Democratic Party! I see a Democratic Party that has so blatantly turned it;s back on Clinton that it makes me sick. and has divided it like no other time in history!
No sir..I will , as will millions of others sit home on election day and watch the debacle unravel.
You wanted him, you got him and now what to do with him and his racist friends!
Savior my butt!

ATTENTION OBAMA AND CLINTON SUPPORTERS.. Wake up to the possibility of Democratic rule for the next 16 years!! Don't be fooled by the divisiveness Republicans are trying to fuel. Without each other we can't do it. If Clinton supporters help elect now, Obama supporters will vote Clinton in 2016. Feelings may be bitter about the nomination on BOTH SIDES, but we have got to put it behind us! There is virtually no difference in the plans of Obama and Clinton. This country cannot make it through McBush!

If Clinton supporters put McCain in the office... prepare for Obama supporters to keep Clinton from the presidency in the future.

16 years of Democrats or 16 years of Republicans... You make the choice!

P.S. No matter who wins in November there is no way in **** we're leaving Iraq anytime soon. Don't be naive. Even if we decide to bring them home today we're there for at least another 5 years minimum if not more.

Think about it– it took us over 7+ years to fully leave Vietnam after we said we were leaving and that was with us abandoning EVERY single piece of equipment there....helicopters...jeeps...everything. We just packed up and left and it still took 7 years to get all those soliders home. Ask a vet.

Good! I'm so glad that they're meeting and talking unity. Divisiveness is something the Democratic party really does not need right now if we want to take back the White House in November. Obama and Clinton really aren't that different from each other, but they're both very different from McCain. The bitter Clinton supporters and the mean Obama supporters need to swallow their pride, get over themselves, and look at what's best for our country right now. And it's not McBush. If the party is divided, we fail; no change can happen this way. I know some people are still upset about the primary results, but we need to unite and move forward. I would love to see the Obama/Clinton dream ticket, because it was a great race and they're both formidable candidates. Even if it doesn't happen, however, I am proud of Hillary Clinton for being so gracious and supporting him. She is clearly far more mature than many of her supporters.

Don't be fooled friends. They persons who are talking about voting for McCain masked their prejudice by bringing up Rev. Wright etc. I didn't say that. David Gergen did. He has worked for both parties. I'm really hoping that such persons can search their hearts and ask the God they talk about so much to help them with their prejudice. Further, those who say they will vote for Mccain weren't planning to vote with Dems anyway, Most of these persons talking are really Republicans who are trying to cause confusion. Let's put it this way. If we get 70 % of Hillary supporters. We are safe. Those few won't stop history from happennning. Let us Unite as Dems. Let us support this patriotic, accomplished, smart President.

He is showing her far more respect than she has shown him. I hope she comes around sooner than later.

TO SCOTT FIRST OF ALL TO COMPARE OBAMA TO JFK IS CRAZY KENNEDY FIRST OF ALL JFK SERVED 8 YEARS IN THE HOUSE AND HE WAS IN THE SENATE FOR ALMOST A TERM THIS MIGHT COME AS A SHOCK TO DEMOCRATS KENNEDY DISLIKED LIBERALS AND RAN AS A CENTERIST DEMOCRAT, IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME READ ANY BOOKS ABOUT JFK I HAVE READ MANY,MOST PEOPLE ARE IN THE MIDDLE AND NOT EXTREME RIGHT OR LEFT.

You can all say and write what you want but truth be told, when the mighty GOP starts rolling over Obama and that powerful Republican machine starts campaigning in their sly way, Obama will be finished.
Even now the statigists are saying he will lose to McCain.
Not the way I wanted it to be but face it folks, McCain will win.

Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be very tough for Obama to compete with the GOP, they are MEAN.

This is good. I as an Obama supporter will be the 1st to say I wouldn't want Clinton to be my VP. But I personally have no problems with her. I think she should play an active role in his administration though. Can we all as DEMS come together, AND ALL JUST STOP TTHE BS??????

I feel bad for Hillary now and I am happy Senator O made an effort to reach out and speak with her. Great initiative Senator O!

EBC and Chamorritta
I have seen lost and you are lost. Is that what dems really think? First, that the right to kill an unborn child is a right worth fighting for? Second, that dems want smaller gov't? They want bigger government and the government to take care of you. Third, dems will lower taxes? Are you crazy? Someone has been feeding you a line of bull and I am sorry you got caught up in it.

Are women smarter then men or more vengeful?
It's their choice.

Do women want healthcare for their children?
Do women want their reproductive rights protected?
Do women want their husbands, son and daughters lives at risk oversees fighting an unjust war?
Do women want to put their homes at risk without a solution to the forclosure crisis?
OR
Do women want to prove to the world that voting overwhelmingly against their better interest completely out of spite is more important then the safety, health and welfare of themselves and thier children?

Ladies, it's your choice.
Excercise your POWER or excercise your JUDGEMENT.
If there was ever a time that women had the ability to rise above the pettiness and thoughtlessness of men, this is it...

I hope they can work together for the country. John Mccain will only bring more war and bad economics to this country. I have just checked out the blog on Hillary's page and see a lot of anger. So to all those who say you wil vote for Mccain and get Hillary in the white house I want to let you know that if Obama doesnt win because of lack of Hillary supporters she will get blamed and the other 17million that voted for Obama will not allow her to even be nominated come 2012. So let that go and do whats right for the counrty.

Good one cyrus

Let Obama choose his VP. He does such a great job choosing his pastors. Welcome President McCain.

Those in here that say that Obama and Hillary have just about the same views on issues SO WHY CAN'T WE SUPPORT OBAMA, THEN I CAN ASK YOU THE SAME, WHY DIDN'T YOU SUPPORT HILLARY? HIS SUPPORTERS HAVE SAID BEFORE AT LEAST OBAMA SAID MONTHS AGO THAT SHE WOULD NOT GET HIS SUPPORTERS IF HE LOOSES BUT HE WILL GET HERS.

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LIKE HER, DIDN'T TRUST HER, SHE HAS CLINTON BEHIND HER NAME WHAT?

I completely agree with some what has been said so far. As an African American man, I have been called so many names simply because I could not get behind Senator Obama's message. I strongly feel Senator Clinton was and still is the best candidate. Much of my apprehension for getting behind Obama now is due to the arrogant and condescending nature of his supporters, not necessarily him. I mean, wow, just got back and read some of what has been written about her..its disgusting!! I can understand how Senator Clinton can leave a bad taste in people's mouths but they way she has been treated by Obama supporters and the media is just plain WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. If she is so awful as some of you suggest then she would not have virtually tied Obama in the popular vote. 18 millions votes folks... So Obama supporters, stop all the bashing of Senator Clinton. It really shows your true colors and is at the heart of the divide in our party.

Once again Senator Obama has shown what a great person, leader and friend he is! He is a gracious man, willing to go to his opponent and seek reconciliation, this is to be admired in a world that's all "about me."

TO "AREWENUTZ": KEEP UP THE RUMORS, KEEP GOING WITH THE LIES........ WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ARE FAIR, AND WE CAN SEE THROUGH THE LIES AND RUMORS. WE ARE NOT NUTS ....YOU ARE!

OBAMA IS A JOKE!

HE WILL LOSE TO McCAIN, AFTER ALL THE STUFF IS REVEALED!

OBAMA SHOULD BE IN JAIL!

They were talking about how to pay her dept

Republican trolls pose as angry Clinton supporters and try to rally them into supporting McCain. This is a fact! Emotions are high; do not be swayed by these people.

A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT HILLARY CLINTON STANDS FOR.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please don't construe the salutation to include the sexists and bigots who blog all to obviously above. Though I see both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama as quite close on the issues I supported Sen. Clinton based on slight differences I perceived and not because she was a woman. I now support Sen Obama because of the big differences, not slight, I perceive between he and Sen. McCain. God Bless America

If this were a poker game, I'd hand it to Hillary for not showing her cards, even when it looks like she's down and out. She knows her leverage lies in the 18million or so voters that are her support base. For the sake of the Democrats on a whole,they need to play catch up by contesting Mcain for November now.They need unity. Any futher distraction from the White House is political suicide for the party. However, Obama knows he must choose carefully and not be pressured into having Clinton in the VP slot. Its about personalities (both candidate are dynamic) that could clash instead of compliment their run for the White House . Should they succed, can Obama afford the political baggage that Bill and Hillary bring into his administration? I doubt it.

Unless she concede the race instead of suspending it, I wouldn't want her involved in any way. She still has something up her sleeve to get back in as DNC nominee in the upcoming months.

Don't trust her. Never will.

We are going to come together , it may take a few weeks , but this election is bigger then any of us. This is about our Kids and Grandkids, America can't take a third Bush term.

DON"T TRUST HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Arewenutz? 9:35 a.m.

We knew the smear campaign was coming, and here it is. Same as in 2004, 2000, ect., they will try to paint the Democratic candidate as unpatriotic, weak, ultra-liberal. It doesn't matter who they are. It doesn't matter if its true. In 2004, we elected a pseudo draft dodger over a bona fide war hero.

Yes, Obama pledges to the flag. He doesn't always put his hand over his heart. By the way, mumbling a bunch of words doesn't make you patriotic. However, being narrow minded is in opposition to what America stands for. Barack Obama is a true patriot.

His church is not unpatriotic; most of its members just have a problem with how blacks have been treated in this country for the past several centuries. The unequal treatment still exists. They have a right to be angry – and a responsibility to be part of the solution. While I do not agree with Black Liberation Theology – I can understand their viewpoints. I wonder how many blacks you have known well enough for them to open up to you about the issues they face on an almost daily basis. I'll bet none, Huh?

Michelle Obama made one very poorly worded statement. I am also proud that America is very close to living up to its promise of equality by giving this very qualified black man a fair chance to be President.

To answer the question posed in your screen name, yes, I suspect you are some sort of right wing nut.

I would like to see Rev. Wright proven wrong. People like you help to prove him right.

Thank you Senator Clinton and Senator Obama for taking the time to think of the BIG picture. With the both of you working together (not VP), but something of a higher position for a smart women as yourself, will be an advancement also to list in the history books.

Obama is going to be a great president!!!

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET UNITE AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER'S OPINION TO RUN OUR COUNTRY IN A RIGHT DIRECTION.I THINK OBAMA IS THE RIGHT CHOICE AS THE PRESIDENT. BECAUSE HE IS YOUNG AND DYNAMIC PERSONALITY ALSO HIS IDEAS AND INTELLECTUAL.

I am stunned to realize that so many Americans have so many crazy ideas. Hillary lost, noone stole the nomination. SHE LOST! She still wants to be the center of attention. I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. She has run her campaign with rudeness, dishonesty and self centeredness. She even wanted to steal Obama's thunder by trying to be the center of attention Tuesday night. If people don't vote for Obama because she lost, then you are not very bright. Get her out of the picture.....Soon.

Why would he want her, and why would she accept anyway with all the Hilary bashing that goes in most of these comments. I myself think it is foolish for her to join a loser. If you think that us Hilary voters are going to vote for him, they better start taking polls to see how much he actually is going to get beat by. There has been a rush for people to switch registations to go independent and vote MCCAIN.

This is politics plain and simple. Most people do not understand that but continue to make their nasty comments and do you really think that these candidates sit up all night reading these blogs. Do you really think you know what they should do and that they will take your advise? It's all in the plan – we have no say in it.

Please, Hillary, do NOT accept a place on this man's ticket!! He will not win in November. Do you really want to be a part of this disaster?

No one doubted this would happen, Patience is GOLDEN!

Okay so here it is. I don't like Obama. I don't trust him. I like his wife even less. I voted for Hillary and am pissed off right now.

I even said I'd vote for McCain over Obama. I lied. There's just no way I can actually vote McCain when looking at the bottom line issues: supreme court, Roe v. Wade, healthcare, etc.

No true democrat (no matter how pissed off we are right now) could.

Bottomline– I will vote for ANY democrat in '08 over more of the crap we've had for the last either years.

realDem, thank you. you've hit the nail on the head. I have nothing against hillary or her supporters but there's something wrong when even after Hillary says you should vote Obama, you're still say you're voting McCain. So it sounds like yeah maybe you're for Clinton, but you're more against Obama. And I just don't understand that. Maybe you should examine why you hate him so much. And if it is his skin color, then maybe you should rethink your opinions... a lot.

This is not a game, it's not a time to hold grudges. This is our PRESIDENT we're talking about. What you're talking about is voting four more years for Bush. So you're saying you'll sacrifice this country's prosperity because you hold a grudge?

I don't know. Something tells me that Hillary is up to something and is hoping something comes down before the convention that will knock Obama out of the running. Why else would she just suspend her campaign?? However, I hope that she is sincere is knowing she is doing the right thing by supporting Obama and campaigning to ensure Obama gets elected in Nov.

Don't hold your breath waiting for an apology from Ms. Clinton. It will be a miracle if she does what she claims she is going to do tomorrow and concede and endorse. I'm just glad that Barack didn't go to her house to meet her, he might not have returned. Maybe she will prove us wrong and do what is best for the Democratic party and not herself.

The comments from Clinton supporters who are determined to elect McCain are so sad. How is it possible to be so dedicated to a candidate who espoused women's rights, universal healthcare and withdrawl from Iraq and then work to elect someone who stands in direct opposition to all of those? Is it just spite or is it something even uglier? We're not voting for the prom court. It's policies not popularity.

I really hope Obama is not forced to accept HRC as the VP nominee. A majority of her supporters will not EVER vote for Obama even if HRC is on the ticket because they are racist. So, why waste your time, Obama. Pick somone else!

This morning I received an email from Howard Dean asking for a contribution for Obama's run for the White House. Since he and the DNC did such a FINE JOB of running the primary and making sure that BOTH candidates were supported by my party, I told him where he could go!

Registering Independent for next election.

Calm down everyone. Whatever happens, Dems are united in November.

Dear Obama vs. McCain.

The TIMES ONLINE 6/5/08 Anatole Kaletsky article (that you can find at REALCLEARPOLITICS) speculates that the Republican October surprise will be bombing of Iran to make Obama look weak as he would surely denounce it. That would make McCain a shoe-in.

The October surprise has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.

Please if you don't want to vote for Obama, then shut up and just vote for McCain. Those of us who are true democrats should start working for the party with the aim of winning the election in November....I am just sick of people saying they will vote for McCain.....go ahead you were never true Democrats in the first place.

This is directed to 'tell the truth'. I am a HIllary supporter from PA and I am not sure who I will vote for in November. One reason I am considering McCain is because of experience. Obama doesn't have the experience that either Hillary or Mccain has. That scares me, especially when it comes to foreign policy.

Secondly, I think your friends tell alot about a person, and I don't like the crowd that Obama runs with. I don't have to give you the list of shady characters that he only denounced after it caused trouble to his campaign.

And finally, the way Obama campaigned in PA really turned me off. He spent hardly any time in my area of the state, which is mostly blue collar workers. We don't feel that he connects well with us here. McCain connects more with us and our problems.

An Obama/Clinton ticket would STILL be an Obama ticket, and that would NEVER work for me. The ultra-liberal DNC and back-stabbing, rule-breaking superdelegates can have him. So, since Hillary Clinton (a MODERATE Democrat, like me) now seems to be out of the race for president, my money and vote go to Senator McCain, who is also a moderate. He is now the only genuinely "vetted" leader left in the general election.

And if ANY of you Obama folks think that OBAMA will end the Iraq war OVERNIGHT, you are REALLY living in a dream world. He won't; he can't; nobody can – so it's just more empty rhetoric. It has to be done gradually and responsibly. At least Senator Clinton has ALWAYS used the word "responsibly." And by the way, just watch how THAT word will suddenly also become a part of Senator Obama's political lexicon.

Senator McCain is NOT George Bush. He is a genuine American hero and has seen the horrors of war first hand. HE will continue what is necessary - THE RIGHT WAY - to bring this war to a sound conclusion.

And what still annoys me is that Senator Obama claims he didn't vote for the war. Of course not - he wasn't yet in the Senate to participate in that vote!

I am ashamed to say that I am one of those Hillary supporters that said I would vote for McCain in November. I was just blowing off some steam, but that's still no excuse. I hope there is still room on the Obama train?

l love hillary, since shes not running for president or vice president then l will vote for mccaine. sorry obama but thats the way it is, no clinton no vote.

If HRC can keep her ego in check and her husband spends his time running his foundation, I think she would be a good choice for VP

Erik on Wall St.

Obama supporters' money cannot be used to pay off Clinton debt. Campaign finance law prohibits that.

The democratic party already has the nerve to send out emails to contribute to Obama, they have go to be kidding. I unsubscribed and told them I was changing parties and don't want their democratic propaganda.

I am very happy that Obama brave enough to met Hillary and have a direct talk. I think she is a brave, very smart and very generous person. There is not thing to fear about her, she care about American people and will do everything to help the democrate party. She got a good heart and experience, there are many people not just women, some men and elderly also still strong support her. Don't worry about Bill, he will be stay out there way and let his wife does her job. No woman or noone else ever has that many pople vote as her (18 millions people, that brake all the record in history). Remember, don't ever underexstimate women. They are a fighter and never stop until what they wanted are all success. Lift up your heart and let her join your ticket, Obama will win McCain 100% if he does so. I am a women from Minnesota and I will always support her no matter what. McCain will be myself, my family and all of my good friends if she in not in the ticket on Nov. Don't be afraid of her, she can be trust, she is not an ghost. She is waiting to Obama to open his mouth, I believe...

Reading the responses from Obama's supporters, it really bothers me that they're so full of hate, just because Hillary was a strong opponent of Obama. It's like they asked Clinton to do anything to unite the party so as to make sure Obama gets Clintion's supporters in Novemeber, but don't want give anything to her! Can I trust once Obama got elected, He would give pair treatment of other races' people?

Maybe if Hillary is asked to be the VP and accepts, that could allow Spitzer a shot at senator from New York?

Huckabee The Joke knew when to Conceede for his party, but Sillary is down and out on her knees... I wonder if she pulled a Monica L. at the meeting with Mr. Obama??? She can then tell Bill she did not have sexual relations with that Man! LOL Now Get on your knees ask for forgiveness and conceede correctly!!!! LOL Your not larger than the DNC! Maybe in your mind, taking sniper fire on a Bosnian airstrip!!! He he he he he

It's about respect, is not because Obama, but the DNC and its party members and officials had worked hard to disrespect Hillary in any way. I'm glad that they met, but again the DNC has a different concept of what is for me party unity. Now some of them are saying that a dream ticket is unlikeable and I disagree. He is talking about change, Is not part of change to look forward and let the past behind?

Obama won, that is not enough for his supportes.

Typical bo. He is going to 'whup' Congress? What paddle is he going to use? We elected those 'chicken-littles' who turned coat on Hillary & put him in the spot he's in. But of-course he is already demonstrating his 'merde'. Remember when he belittled Hillary's campaign for universal heathcare? Can someone follow up on how he bought his house using Rezko as his go between? His underhanded way to get into the Illinois gov't & in Texas' primary, how he stole the Mi vote? If he indeed wanted 'change' he would have demonstrated it with his actions: i.e. allow all of Fl & Mi delegation to be seated at the convention & allowed all of the delegates to discuss & decide. bo you represent sexactly what's wrong today- NO HONOR!

Hillary is trying to pull an upset with the DNC by keeping her delegates. His is not a unity situation, it is still dividing this party. If Hillary is true about being a true team player she will exhaust all her ties to this campaign, if not then yes she is lobbying to become President and overtake him at the convention. Now will that be fair no but this is the strategy for Hillary. President or nothing.

I am certain these "productive" talks are nothing less than Clinton blackmailing Obama.

Obama v McCain. None of Hillary's tactics have worked so far. I truly believe she is up to something but Obama's no fool. She has shown herself for who she really is. We will all know if she gets what she wants from her speech on Sat. If she endorses him and concedes that means he has promised her something, big. If not you will see her still campaigning. Add extortionist to the woman's list of qualities.

the racist vile presented in some of these posts is very discomforting and shows that we still have a long way to go in this country.

My advice to all people is to go to the candidates web sites, see where they stand on the issues instead of spewing all this negativity.

Come on people...THINK! A vote for McCain, in my opinion, is a vote for all that is wrong with America. America cannot afford another republican in office, the one that is in there now has brought America to the very edge of despair and ruin, and McCain will continue to go down that same path. I know American's have short memories, but this time around we cannot afford to forget all the republican corruption and lies we have endured over the last 8 years.

So, BO is going to give her money to pay off her campaign debts. What a saviour!!! These monies came from folks who needed it to begin with for gas and milk.

Careful...Vince Foster used to think he had productive discussions with the Clintons too

It amazes me that many of the BHO supporters are saying that he and HILLARY are similar. Well, I beg to differ. If you go back and take a look at all the debates and all the policy issues that they presented, HILLARY has had a plan of solutions since the very beginning. BHO had not solutions. I still have not heard any solutions from this man. BHO rode the coattails of all the Demoncrat candidates from the beginning and then as they dropped out one by one, he took their policy ideas and made them his own. He cannot answer spontaneous questions without stammering. He has to have a speech written to make a rebuttle statement to any comments made that he disagress with.

There are many HILLARY supporters that take issue with someone who lacks the judgment to leave a church promoting hate, that affiliates himself with unpatriotic "citizens", who talks down to the mainstream Americans (clinging to our guns and religion), who makes sexist remarks (sweety), who pulls the race card to his convenience ("typicl white female", WV, KY), NAFTA (wink, wink) and continues to whine his way through this campaing, etc..........

There are many HILLARY supports who do not take kindly to all the bashing that has occurred throughout this campaign and know that the company you keep defines you own character.

This campaign has everything to do with the issues and for the love of one's country as demonstrated through WORDS and ACTIONS. I don't see that from BHO.

People know your history. Iraq will become like Japan, South Korea and Germany. US military presence will be there for a long time so don't be dump and stupid. Unfortunately, I'm a democrat and a woman. I make six figures by working hard. I don't like OBAMA just because he doesn't have the experience to lead this country and quite frankly, HIS wife already did damage his image just look at the way she talks about the US.

Call me whatever you want but I would rather vote for McCain. A lot of you out there called Hillary some bad names. Yeah...way to go McCain.

Many ask, WHAT REALY HILLARY WANT??????????????
The answer's Simple,..... WANT Super.D. Change their mind and Put her on Top of the Ticket!!!!!
If you dont see that, Why's she up-to now Not Concede? Why's Keeping all her delegates? (If any rebel./.fighter gives-up and NOT give up Trops//wepons-guns, NEVER Take that a serious Move!!!
Hillary has a plan u watch her closely!!!!

Mr.President, be careful- It has been a long fight, your nearly there, DONT BE Pushed, U're blessed already!! the handful can talk all rubbish- Do ONLY that makes u confortable.

In order to deliver yr Package CHANGE you MUST be surrounded with Royalists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless u and all the GREAT TEAM Behind yr great Campaign

Think back once all the Republican stooges referred to as CNN contributors realized Obama was going to be the candidate they immediately started a feeding frenzy to try and turn voters toward Hillary but Americans were too smart for them and put their support where they felt the issues took them.

Only a moron would vote for McCain because Hillary lost so likely he'll get about 30% of votes from Hillary supporters with the rest going to Hillary. Look at McCain's forced and phony smile in his last speech if that doesn't remind you of the cartoon character Snidely Whiiplash nothing will. The bottom line is anyone who has any concern for the troops in Iraq and their families could not in good conscience vote for McCain so chill out!

Listen up Hillary supporters. She will not win in 2012. She has done too much damage to the party and has divided the party. Also nobody earns the VP position. That's why its not voted on. Obama has to choose somebody that compliments him. Not somebody that has their own motives of running for President in 2012. Not somebody who divides the party and doesn't even work well with the DNC. With Hillary as VP he will have to watch his back, compete with her because she has not or will not in her heart submit to him. No matter what she says Sat. I won't believe her. Even if she says she concedes and supports Obama I won't believe her. Nobody changes like that. She meant everything she said when she was campaigning. She even endorsed McCain and the Rep. party is using her every word. SHe is his worse enemy. And those of you who feel that Obama's supporters are being nasty or mean, read the whole blog. Hillary and her supporters started this nasty dialog and like everything else its Obama's or his supporters fault. All of you need to own up to your own wrong doing, including Hillary. She owes the party an apology for her behavior. Without it we will not support her in 2012.

Have you notice how the Obama supporters are being nice to us, begging for our vote.Let's kiss and makeup. I'm for one will not forgetMy grandmother march for women right to vote. She would turn over in her grave on how the first Woman to come close to being President was treated. I believe she would support my decision to no longer belong the Democratic party.

The "kiss-and-make-up" cycle has begun. Now we can start to move forward.

By the way, Barack, don't use that stick to whup on Congress. Use it to whup on John McCain.

If you vote for McCain, then you get exactly what you deserve for the next four years. I'm sick of the stupid excuses for voting for McCain....he's a war hero....he loves this country....America first, party second....

As you and McCain wrap yourselves in Old Glory and sing patriotic songs, you better make sure that you're in the top 10% of the economic totem pole.

Mar:

If one of your pathetic friends of 10 years all of a sudden comments a crime of murder, does that mean you are guilty for know that person??

I bet you are the most perfect person anyone has laid eyes on!!

Dems, enough! We had two great candidates, I liked them both and am happy with our choice. The majority of the disgrunted HRC supporters here are "posers" and trolls from the republican party, Rush's Army of Loosers.
Our candidates, both, stand in stark contrast to McSame! I cannot see any woman supporting Hillary's IDEAS switching to the other side, where they will get 4 more years of Iraq, reversal of Roe.vs.Wade, and more economy in the dumpster.
DEMOCRATS IN '08 – President, Senate +60 and House!

Obama and McCain are soooooo far apart on important issues and Obama and Clinton so close, that a Hillary supporter that will vote for McCain should just be honest........ It's someething other than Obama's positions. You have issues of race, come clean and maybe you can start to heal also! There's tooo much at stake! Iraq, 2 or 3 supreme court judges, healthcare, etc etc, etc.

I am risgned to the fact that Obama is the nominee and I havent got a problem with that anymore its not going to change. However mysekf and I know for a fact other former Hillary supporter will struggle to vote for Obama in Novermber, even the strongest of Democrats. I think it is a disgrace the comments made by some Obama supporters in what they have said about the candidate we support. We do not enjoy reading such negative comments and now your telling us to unite, its rediculous. You obviously have your candidate to supports but youve probably lost him a lot of votes in November because of it. I will be voiting for McCain in November, I dont like Obama as a person and therefor dont want him as my president.

I love the way they kept the media out of it!!! I got a chuckle when I heard the media complaining they were duped!!! Now that's how you begin to heal the party!!

Dem 08

Obama supporters still bashing Hillary but begging for her voters to stand behind Obama. Why should we support hate mongers.......just write Hillary's name in on the vote.

Just posted a comment criticizing the press. Don't look for it to be posted here. CNN doesn't approve of such a thing!

All of you trolls on here that claim you will vote so-and-so if so-and-so isn't a nominee and spreading hate around here may think you are being funny but you are actually putting the whole country, scratch that, the whole world in peril. I don't care if you DO find some pleasure from making people argue but you need to think of the consequences and they ain't pretty. You may think I'm overreacting and that your "humor" is harmless, but remember, it's usually a small crack in a dam that causes the flooding of a town.

People please understand that Sen. Clinton and Sen Obama were opponents....not enemies. When you run a campaign, you run it to win it. I am an Obama supporter but truly think Sen. Clinton wants whats best for this country and whats best for the party. Lets all role up our sleeves and get to work to make sure our futures are better for our children and grand children.

I hope it was productive enough that Obama will get out of town. Obama is too full of himself, someone told him he may be cute and he believed it. My goodness, a wannabe president threatening to "Whup Congress." I like my presidents to have a little dignity. And Michelle is another story, hating America, like they both do. What were people thinking? But what do I care, I am voting, supporting and campaigning for Senator McCain. A dignified, patriotic, experienced President.

They look so cute together! I love it when they whisper to each other. Makes you wonder what brilliant things they are saying.

Please, please.....lets have the "Dream Team". Its a sure fire way to win by a landslide in November! This race btw McCain & Obama is too close for comfort! We need Hillary and her supporters....face it.

I would be very cautious about Clinton's intentions at this point. The fact that she has "suspended" rather than concede her campaign indicates that she might have something fishy up her sleeve.

....... Unite NOT Fight ............

Obama is a uniter. Obama will do the right thing to help HIllary heal from the seond slot ending. Hillary will need to wokr on being more gracious to allow the process to begin. Barack will find a very important role for her in the whitehouse other than VP and Barack will accept support and help from Former President Bill Clinton even after his nasty, tasteless remarks. The Clinton's need to extent the hand and hearts to show unity.

The people claiming to write in Hillary's name or vote for McBush are throwing their god given rigth to vote away. Unit to help women causes, seniro & children's health care and education, YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY.. (McCain promised to "reform" SS when he is president) If you don't want privatization of SS step up and cast your vote for Obama/?... It is your country and Barack will see to it your voice is heard..

Yesterday- McCain said he would get tech education into the community colleges for peopl who lost their jobs. Now, I don't know about you but I did lose my job and the last thing I need is another student loan debt.. I haven't finished paying off the first student loan debt I have. I don't need to wast my time going to school when I didn't like it in the first place. AND.. McBush didn't even mention taking care of teachers and their needs for teaching better with better pay. Barack does. So as you can clearly see there are many, many issues out on the table that would be in your best interest to vote Oabam or go farther into debt with McBush's third term to spite yourself.

Barack Obama 2008.... Yes...WE...Can...

HAHAHA!
If Obama does this, it's a bribe that she agrees not to pressure him into asking her to be VP. Hey, Hillary, tell you what: I'll pay off your debut and then you go away. Obama is so transparent.

The remarks on these blogs and the attitude of the Obama supporters will make or break whether Clinton supporters support Obama. I has been nasty all along reading your comments.

Sen. Obama - our Democratic Presidential Nominee, and soon to be the 44th president of the U.S. - (Oh my that sounds very good) is a very wise leader. He will choose the right V.P. without being pressured. He will choose one who shares his positive vision for Amerca...one who he can consult with while making those very serious decisions as president. Additionally, he has put together a very good V.P. team to assist him in the selection. He will NOT be pressured on the topic, so everyone really does need to "settle down."

I hope his meeting with Clinton was very productive. I hope she will start her speech on Saturday with an apology to Barack and the rest of the American people for her disrespectful and defiant behavior. Then I hope she endorses Obama and be apart of uniting the party behind Barack.

With Obama as our leader and the party unified, there is no way we can lose. Barack Obama will defeat McCain.

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time for Barack Obama for president !

The pundit, elder DNC, Dean and super delegates made Obama the nominee. They choose him at the Kerry?Edwards 2004 convention. They will be held accountable. They wanted a democratic controlled congress, we voted and they did nothing. As an independent, I strongly believe in a one person-one vote party, of which the democratic party is not!

I hope there is sincerity on the part of Clinton. I hope that on tomorrow she will officially and graciously endorse Obama, because that is what she MUST do to bring unity to the party. Had Obama rebuffed and waited this long to give her her due, the media and all the pundits would have crucified him as a spoiler–sore freaking loser. So, as angry as Hillary supporters may be, they need to think about wearing the shoe ont he other foot. All need to grow up. This constant bantering does nothing but violence to the idea of democracy and good will in the Democratic Party. The more we continue to strike damning blows at one another, the more the Republicans rejoice. And, for folks who really are uneducated and unable to think idependently of pundits, they will, by default, gravitate towards McCain because they will be wooed into thinking that he will capture their interests. It's a dangerous game and if grown-ups, fully capable of elevating their minds and working altruistically refuse to do that, then a plague on us all in November. Anyone who continues these ridculous rants and tirades looks to the world like a blatant idiot. If you want to be ruled by another Bush administration and want your family to suffer–then follow the reactive strategy of votinh McCain in and you will be visited by the results of your delusions in 2009-2012. You will disgrace Hillary, the party and Americans who deeply fought for change during this historic primary election. We CAN win fellow Democrats, but you have to go back to the essence of WHAT we are fighting for. Hillary and Barak are on the same team and want the same result. Why don't you? Think about that.

I'm so glad that they have started the process of bringing the Democratic Party together.

That is the difference between obama supporters and me. I do not feel like I am betraying Hillary. I WILL NOT BETRAY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA by voting for obama. The ONLY reason he is where he is at is as he says and his supporters and the media say. he is black. I WILL NOT vote for someone just because he is black. He has not shown me anything. He has NOT had any kind of debate where he has said anything productive. He does not have the same policies as Hillary or McCAIN. He just uses everyone else's plans when it suites him to get votes then when he gets the votes he changes his story. He is changing his story now. A vote for obama is a vote for more war, more civil unrest here. Please Hillary do not lower yourself to try and get on the ticket with him. As much as I admire you and your service to the country. I will not vote for any party that has obamas name on it.
he is not my God, he is not my prophet, he is not my savior.

Margaret – I would not worry so much about what is being posted on Hillary's website. Anyone who has attempted to post a dissenting opinion there knows they get edited out. Unfortunately, this allows the most radical supporters to think everyone agrees with them and for the moderates to believe they are in the minority. We will know for sure that her campaign has truly behind Senator Obama, when they reverse their editorial slant and start blocking the radical comments and start posting the ones in support of Barack.

Vig – The vast majority of Obama supporters do not support him because he is black, but for the same reason most Hillary supporters supported her, because they thought he was the best candidate for the job. Please get your arms around the fact that two people can look at the same situation and both using good logic and with good intentions, come to different conclusions.

I support Obama because his guiding vision, values, and philosophy are virtually identical to mine. He has the intelligence, judgment, and temperament for the office. He is a charismatic and inspirational leader, something we desperately need. His experience, while not vast, compares favorably to Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, JFK, and Bill Clinton. I simply believe he is the right person for the job at this time.

If you want to vote for McCain. Then you vote for McCain, but don't expect true Dems to participate in your idiocy.

Hillary is up to something! She hasn't given up perhaps waiting for an assassination! She finished up all the primaries/caucuses at full steam as if something was waiting in the wings!

Never trust a Clinton!

BJ-no one did anything to Sen. Clinton. The democratic process for electing a nominee has for years and years been the delegate count. It was a wonderful process until Flordia and Michigan wanted to violate the rules of the DNC. It was a wonderful and fair process to Senators Clinton and Obama as well as all the other candidates when they decided to run. It only became a problem when Sen. Clinton fell behind and she needed results of elections that was invalid to give her any chance of coming close to being considered the nominee. That is not fair and I don't see how any sane american can think that it is. The DNC has rules as well as the RNC. If people desire to see the truth, it is plain as day. The RNC was punished for the same thing in Florida. Their delegates only count for 1/2 vote. There have not been a negative word said about this. Why, because they know that it would cause a division in their party. The real problem we had is Hillary's love for her name more than she love the party.

I hope they will come together. However, I hope Obama will make his own choice for VP. I have a strong feeling that he will. If it's Hillary, we will support him.

Clinton should tell Obama to hit the road and run as an Independant,

if she does she will beat McCain.

Obama dosen't have a chance against McCain, Hillary supporters
will not vote or vote for McCain. AND I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

Don't let Jcak Caffert y fool you people , Clinton supporters are not
going to cross over to Obama. He is a liar and an anti american.

Obama taking control of the situation. He was laying down the law and getting a first hand ideal what is going to said Saturday. He didn't want any surprises after that speach and beyond.

Washington, D.C.

That's right keep her in the Cabinet or on the High Court. Surprise us with a good VP match-up Obama.

To Andrew/Birmingham and ALL Hillary supporters who claim to be moving to McCain, asking her to become an Ind – STOP the madness. LISTEN to YOUR candidate. She's a TRUE DEM – not a "hot air" DEM as most of you are. If you wish to vote McCain – please do so and in the meantime please send your apologies to the hundreds of parents who have lost love ones in Iraq, the people who have lost their jobs and when you go to the gas tank, please think of your candidate as you try and fill your cars. If this is what you want, more power to you, but don't blame Obama when McCain in sitting in the white house. Guess what – Sen Clinton and Sen Obama will be back in the senate, working, collecting their paychecks and not sitting around the table pondering on how to pay bills, buy gas and food.

No to Hillary.Its time to take back the country from the "Texas takeover the country" crowd.

Ted, WA. Al Gore became famous because he didn't alienate the leaders and divide the Dem. party. Hillary has made enemies now in the Senate and her state because she put herself before the party and before the country. It fine that you guys do it, you're not leaders. She is suppose to be a leader.

Andrew from Birmingham. Lets see how much you love McCain when he sends you or your children to fight a religious war that is none of our business. Or you or a family member lose your home, or your parents or your own social security gets screwed up because he privatized it, or when you need a health care plan and can't get it because your job has gone oversees. Lets see how much you Hillary supporters will love McCain then.

Tony, Enterprise, Alabama. You are looking at things from one perspective. Hillary ran a nasty, divisive, disrepsectful campaign.
Obama managed to win in the mist of this and he will win in Nov.
At least half of the Hillary supporters are Dems first and Hillary groupies second. Obama will do fine without you.

No Hillary for Vice President, she is holding the people who voted for her hostage to gain an important office in Obama's Administration. Hillary kept spending money after she was over 25 million dollars in debt, she is a multi millionaire and can pay her own bills.

Will all the real democrats please stand up for what's right. This was a hard fought fight. Only one of them could win and it was Senator Obama. If you're a true democrat, then do the right thing and vote for our nominee. Time heals all things.

If you want your life ruined for the next 4 years, then vote for McSame.

To those of you who continue to call us names–stupid, not real Democrats, ect. because we do not support Obama, you are part of the reason many will vote for McCain. Your hateful remarks do nothing but make our anger stronger.t Senator Clinton had some 18 million votes. If you are arrogant enough to think our contributions and support are not important to a win in November, you are very naive. You talk of unity, but it has to be your way. Sorry, but that attitude will not work. An Obama/Clinton ticket is the best way to ensure a victory. As a Florida voter, much of my anger is toward the DNC and the media. Until those of you that continue your bashing realize you can not force your feelings down our throats, the party will continue to be divided.

I don't cast my votes out of anger. I cast my votes out of research on character, past performance, voting records - in other words, what has the candidate done with his or her life?

While I disagree with McCain on the war, I do believe that we (the US) has a responsibility to fix what we have broken – Iraq. Perhaps with him in the office, that plan can finally be implemented.

Even if Obama were to have Hillary on his ticket, I would have a huge problem with his inexperience and non-performance. I'd rather she ran as an Independent. Since Kerry wanted John McCain as his VP running mate, maybe McCain can ask Hillary to be his. That would be the Dream Ticket.

I have no doubt that Hillary will fully support Obama. I don't think the VP slot will enter into it either way. She is a fighter for the American people and will do whatever it takes to defeat McCain. We all need to support Obama in that same way. Let's make history now by voting in the first African American for President and then we will do it again in 2012 when we vote Hillary in as the 1st Women President. People we can do this if we all stand together now. If Hillary supporter help to support Obama now to get him elected I for one promise to help get Hillary in and make history again in 2012.

One word: ENTITLEMENT
Obama, please send Clinton back to New York or Arkansas, just not on your ticket! We've had enough of the Clintons. If you need a woman on the ticket, find someone else. This is a big decision for you, please don"t blow it (on the Clintons).

Now this is how I see the meeting going down....I think that Clinton might have something on Obama or Obama's wife - because Obama comes from "the ceespool of Chicago politics", according to Dick Morris. So I see it as more of a "would you like me to give this to the Republicans.....or do you want to make me part of the ticket that I have rightfully earned getting 18M votes".....

You go girl.....

I personally will never trust a man that played dirty to get into politics (disqualifiying all of his opponents), sat in a church for 20 years listenting to garbage spewed hate towards white people, exposed his young and impressionalbe daughters to the same hate speak, allowed a sleeze bag to raise money for him and only gave it back after the guy gets indicted, plagerizes speaches, is friends with a known terrorist, ISN"T this enough....I bet there is much more to come...if the republicans don't have it....the other democrats do....

McCain 08/12 is our man! No one can beat a WAR HERO!

for all the ppl that's voting for McCain how ignorant of u!!! U are voting for what u were against for !!! That's a great example for ur kids !!! If anything just write her name in the ballot!!!! Stop being ignorant!!

You say you won’t vote for OBAMA, but we have just as many REPUBLICANS. who say they will. Just something to think about for you CLINTON SUPPORTES who won’t support OBAMA.

It sounds like an EVEN TRADE OFF TO ME, except the cross over REPUBLICANS is getting the better part of the deal. Just my 2 cents.

Don't expect me to go along with your idiocy.

You are going to look real funny with your nose cut off.

Now is the time to SHANK HANDS, KISS and make up to get ahead of the game.

Obama 08!

When the discussion began, I hope that the first thing she did was apologiz for her behavior on Tuesday night.

GREAT NEWS..

This is exactly the type of TEAMWORK that is needed to beat John McCain. Hillary does NOT have to be the VP in order to assist Sen. Obama in winning the election.

Remember, if Sen. Obama wins, so DOES Hillary Clinton. If she plays her cards right and "makes nice" it will RAISE her up in the eyes of her voters and her political colleages. SHE has to make up for her disastrous NY Speech. She came off as being defiant and demanding, AND that's NOT what you do when you've lost. It's made everyone supporting her and the Obama camp very upset.

This is BIGGER than just Hillary and Barrack. This is about OUR FUTURE. Democrats NEED TO UNITE and stop sweating the "small and petty" stuff. It's not worth the wasted energy.

We need to focus on the FUTURE AND LONG TERM GOALS, not what's going on today.

For those who are threatening to VOTE FOR McCAIN.. you better ask yourself these questions...

1. WOMEN: Do you really WANT John McCain to reverse Roe vs. Wade ruling? Do you really want a MAN to take your right to choose what you do with your body away? BIG MISTAKE.

2. WOMEN: Do you want your sons, husbands and daughters to continue to DIE in a WAR that never was NECESSARY and NOW we're finding out Bush/Cheney LIED about the intelligence report regarding the Iraq war and Sen. McCain SUPPORTED these lies. WHAT is that telling YOU?

3. DO you want to continue paying $BILLIONS of dollars a month to the Iraqe government?

4. Do you want to pay $15.00 a gallon for gas and $8.00 a gallon for milk? Milk is already at $4.00 a gallon!!!

5. Do you really want to LOSE your home to foreclosure because of the increase in TAXES by John McCain that supports tax breaks to the WEALTHY and penalizes everyone else, just like BUSHMAN?

6. Do you WANT our military young men and women to continue to struggle and suffer when it comes to medical health and benefits and NOT be able to afford to go to school because Sen. McCain voted AGAINST it? Don't our military members DESERVE the best benefits possible after fighting a WAR they never asked to wage?

These are the FACTS people. Women, especially need to really THINK LONG AND HARD before they run off with the mouth and state they are voting for McCain because their candidate lost. Doing so, would mean that you, YOURSELF have BETRAYED Sen. Clinton and have flushed all her HARD WORK and COMMITMENT down the toilets!! That's what your voting for John McCain would mean. It would MEAN you've disregarded Sen. Clinton's life's work all out of ANGER and BITTERNESS!!! Wow...talk about being selfish.

I'm a woman and I would NEVER vote for McCain, I don't care if he walks on his head. He would take my right to choose away from me in a minute, AND the fact that he took my children into a WAR where the Bush/Cheney crooks have lied about WMD's!!! I don't need to even go further into his "Bush policy support" issues because I would just get sick to my stomach.

John McCain talks a good game with his "straight talk express", but it's nothing but a whole LOT of CRAP!! Just like the many times George W. Bush got up in front of the camera and kept claiming "Weapons of Mass Destruction" !! Weapons of Mass Destruction!!! Weapons of Mass Destruction!!! Where are these weapons Sen. McCain that you supported? Where?

There we're NEVER any WMDs and BUSH/CHENEY/McCAIN knew this and YET waged into war on a LIED anyways.

I'm so grateful that Barrack and Hillary can UNITE and bring an END to this disgraceful Administration. Barrack has already started cleaning house in the DNC, so that proves that he means "business" about changing Washington, D.C. It's time. The White House needs to be cleaned out too and free of all those DIRTY RATS occupying our house!!

I haven't heard hillary say it qas productivy. All I have heard is the press say this with their information coming from the DNC and the Obam camp. Am I suppose to believe a baised press and the campagin of a man , that keeps saying that isn't the person I knew or I never heard no remarks of hate america or whitey racist statements over the twenty years he spent in that racist hole they call a church. I know you won't post this because cnn doesn't like no truthful but negative statements posted on their blogs. I really don't care. George might not have been the brightest light bulb in the room but at least he doesn't hate america. I love the fact that cnn keeps running that special" Black in America" , and talking about the Kennedy's to bolster the support for Obama. I am a 60 year old white male . I lived through that period and I can tell you that ill Clinton didn't have nothing on John Kennedy on whoring around and won the election by fraud in chicago beating Richard Nixon. The same machine backing Obama today. Of course it will not work in this election because it won't come down to one state. As far as the other kennedy brothers , Robert cut a deal with the Mafia to help John get the election and then tried to back on the deal and "Teddy" was given the seat by his brother had and has never been nothing but a drunk and lets not forget the woman he let drown to save his fat liberal butt. So cnn these young people who live for glamour and have no history with life except a liberal college professor may by your baised media hype but older americans know better. Oh, since cnn loves the hillary jokes to run on the air, lets see if you got the guts to run a major joke in texas that is on a t-shirt here in texas. "Do you kknow the difference between Obama and Osama" Obama's B.S.

Its better Obama helps pay off her debt instead of putting her on the VP ticket.

Has anyone noticed that Obama doesn't salute the flag of the country he wishes to lead? Has anyone noticed that he came from a church that is anti-American? Has anyone listened to his wife speak?

While Obama and Clinton talk unity, Joe Lieberman talks throwing the democratic party under the bus. No problem Joe, hope the winds of power don't shift so that the Democrats earn a more significant majority in the Senate. If they do, you can kiss all of your committee memberships goodbye.

So Joe, just how many votes can you old white men get on your own?

If she says "he" as much as she said "I" on Tuesday night, I'll be happy. If you haven't seen it, check out the John Stewarts summary of Hiilary's Tuesday speech.

he should throw her under the bus,but he wont,he will offer her something but not the vice job,he couldnt trust her

I'm just wondering how people would trust HRC to be president but do not trust her judgement enough to consider as to the reason she will support BHO...

HRC admits that the differences between her and Obama are miniscule compared to any Dem and McCain and the GOP.

I can understand why many older white people distrust Obama... They can remember the days of injustice that African Americans and other minorities... including women... suffered, and many of them realize that there may be a legitimate reason for Obama to harbor resentment towards white folk... Many younger white folks simply think this way because the are associated with so many people who posess this dated idealology...

But, rather than be resentful, many black people are hopeful that we, as a country, have overcome many of our divisions.

While the respective supporters of both candidates bicker amongst ourselves, HRC and BHO are busy TRYING TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY A BETTER NATION!.. DON'T WORK AGAINST THEM!

Dems in '08 for Change and Reconciliation!

I think Obama could respectfully utilize Hilary somewhere, but hope fully not for vice. Bill is a liability and so are Hilary's tactics, it is too close. .

Many of you claim you want party unity (both Obama and Clinton supporters), but you are still doing the same bashing of each other's candidates that you were doing a month ago? Don't you ever get sick of it? I think before you start accusing others of dividing the party, you need to look at your own words and actions and see what you are doing.

Regardless who you supported in the primary season, you have to realize the importance of both Clinton and Obama and the importance of their roles (whatever they may be) in the future of the country and the party.

Move on; grow up.

Democrats '08

FOLKS.....the damage that each of the candidates may or may not have exibited to each other IS ON THE MEND. WE must let them lead .... we supporters have done our jobs. IT IS NOT OUR JOBS TO CONTINUE THIS NONSENSE. WHO ever heard of casting a vote or write-in vote for something as selfish as MY PERSON DIDN'T GET THE NOMINATION .... SO I WILL SHOW YOU ALL !!! If any of you folks that feel that way and have children ............You would be punishing your children for such selfishness and childishness. How dare you be so simple as to affect the lives of servicemen, people who need health insurance, and people who need jobs, or wish to execersie birth choices. GROW UP and act as adults !!! Fine examples of Americans you all are. If indeed you have such feelings KEEP THEM TO YOURSELVES and stop BLOGGING !!! The rest of us have a President to elect.

Well if the news is true regarding Obama helping her to pay-off her debt. I will stop my contributions to his campaign, SORRY but that should be a no go.

Congratulations to us all! Is it possible that women past their reproductive age would enable McCain to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who would surely dismantle Roe v Wade? I hope not.
Please don't forget out younger sisters who are entitled to the rights we fought so hard for in the aftermath of this contest.
Now let's take Heath care away from the insurance companies and return it to the American people. NO lobbyist in Washington DC influencing lawmakers may make that possible.

NOT HILLARY FOR VP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOULD BE THE SAME OLD GAME AND BILL WHAT A SHAME HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama has class, he is gracious and a real team player.
Clinton was a disappointment, her scorched earth strategy distasteful. She has a lot to do to make up for the damage done and I have a hard time trusting her now.
Obama has attracted so many new voters, young, independents and even Republicans that I think he will succeed without Clinton.

Remember Vince Foster!!

T o answer the question of why hillary wont "release" her delegates...is because there are claims out there that there is an August/October surprise in the making about Sen Obama.. her hopes are that she can "appear" to campaign for him like crazy, but that when the news drops about him his flood of running scared delgates combined with what she has in her pocket will give her the nomination. She will be fooling the public again when she stands before them and claim that she has his back when in all honesty she, with the assistance of the republicans, are planning to stab him in the back.

Wow!
I hope we realize what a dynamic ticket we could have with Obama/Clinton!!! Get ahold of your emotions. All of us are loyal to our choice and realize the same passion you feel about yours is the same passion we feel about ours. Move your thoughts forward to something positive and life changing and that is exactly what we will get!
Thank you both Barack and Hillary! You gave us your best and we know you will continue to do so!

I really believe that the so called democrates screaming.... I'm voting for McSame.... Have gone off your rockers?.... Have you people absolutely lost your minds?..... Please.... Tell me what happy planet you lunas have been living on so that I can live with you guys in your puple haze world..... Because this one has been hell for the last 7, plus years......

The reason this presidential campaign has been so vigorous is that we all have been suffering and doing without the basics of life, And we all want something, or somebody to hear how we people feel, Someone to make our voices heard. We have our nominee.... The people have spoken.... It may or not have been the canidate of your choice.... But never the less it's a done deal. We have had the best canidates that our party/dems have had in decades.

And now some so called democrates want to vote us right back into the same BS that we have had for years. Just because that your choice of canidates did'nt win.... How mature and adult sounding is that? I'm a 44 year old native american.... I'm married to a lovely WHITE WOMAN of irish descent..... This is NOT about race, gender. This is about, am I going to have the money I need to pay my utilities.... Eat food.... Buy $4.00 a gallon gas to get to work?...... Both of these canidates keep screaming..... I'm going to help the middle class people..... What the hell happend to POOR PEOPLE?????? People that are barely surviving?...... People like myself?...... You people had better wake up!!!!!...... We are in bad shape as a country...... This war, The lies, Washington as it is now.

Hey.... if you folks that are screaming I'm voting for McCain, have it like that.... And can afford to live like we have for four or more years..... Please.... I beg of you.... Consider the poor people that need help.... The Democratic Party.... Yes We Can!!!!

Terrific – the party that specializes in losing elections that they should easily win is at it again. I'm sure they were in deep discussion over which colossal mistake will allow them to once again snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Thanks for staying positive Obama and not letting the 'other' two drag you down to their level. Thanks for sticking to your word and forcing the DNC to reject pac and lobbyist monies. You really are the real deal and I just donted to your campaign and the DNC this morning because of it.

I'm glad they're talking. But Hilary supporters...get over yourselves! She doesn't have a birthright to the Vice Presidency. I think they are both way too headstrong to co-exist as running mates. I'd like to see the Kansas governor (Kathryn Sebellious) or Joe Biden as V.P. They would bring a lot to the table as runnning mates for him. I'd like to see Hilary as a cabinet member...perhaps Secretary of State, Director of Foreign Affairs, or even a Supreme Court Justice. We all as Democrats win under those scenarios!

ANYBODY BUT HILLARY FOR VP,,,,,,,,

HILLARY AND BILL CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. I USE TO LIKE THEM BUT AFTER SEEING THE WAY THEY BEHAVED I AM VOTING FOR OBAMA.

FEMALE FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTER.

What a joke– Talk about Backroom politics-
The real reason Hilliary will not be on the ticket is because of Bill-
He won't release the financial things that need to be disclosed and that's probably why the Head Dems wanted her out sooner–

However without Hilliary -Obama is doomed to a McGovern Type loss-
Both of them are far left and he can't win with just the young vote as well as the African American Vote–
Everyone knows this and everyone will come out to vote–

Dear Dems,

I just don't understand the anger in the party! We knew somebody was going to lose at the end of the primary season. We had two great candidates for the most esteemed position in the free world. Please stop the bickering and understand that w/o the hard fought primary season we would no have brought so many new voters out to the polls and probably would of lost in November, but now everybody is taking it so personal. It shouldn't be, politics is business and unfortunately somebody does lose. Saying you will switch parties because the numbers/delegates didn't work is as foolish as saying someone is not patriotic for not wearing a pin or someone is an elitist because she drinks wine.

Please stop the nonsense!

Sincerely,

A Dem for life!

I am glad they met. Obama and she will have a discussion, however, he will be firm that He is in Charge, not her. If she is a true Democrat, and wants what best for the party, she will whole heartedly support ham, and ensure her followers do the same. If she does not, then if the Republicans win in November, all fingers will point to her. she has a long road to redeem herself in many peoples eyes.

I wonder how many Obama contributors will be upset by their hard earned monies going to that snake Hillary Clinton to pay off her debt. The Clintons are operators and Hillary is even worse than Bill – a real snake in the grass. They made 100 million last year – let them raise their own money to pay off the debt. HC is the worst VP choice BO could make – half the country despises Hill.

Please Clintons: JUST GO AWAY (you too Chelsea!)

To tell the truth, some Clinton supporters will vote for McCain because of Obamas promise to meet with our enemys without pre-conditions,because of his now former churchs theology,because of the choice of friends he has known for many years who he claims he just now found out how they really think, because of Michelles thesis and her comments of being proud of this country for the first time, because of his nasty supporters who contune to call Hillary names and go so far as to imply she is a murderer and is capable of killing Obama to be President and lastly because of Obamas arrogance, he brushed Clinton off his shoulders, and we know what that really meant. We who support her are angry at the media and the DNC for the way they have tried to push her out. Why wasn't everyone up in arms when Kennedy took his fight to the convention and he needed 800 delegates. Everyone is trying to portray her as a villian for campaigning to the end. A party destroyer for her determination to fight for the votes of every American. Why , because she is a woman? Obama owes a lot of favors the news today explains Deans support of Obama. How many more favors will Obama begin to repay? What did he promise Nancy Pelosi? The Kennedy support must mean a Kennedy as VP? Kerry, what is his pay back? Maybe if enough of them can be a Secretary of something we can change congress. They will have to vacate their seats and open up the election process. That is of course if Obama makes it in November. I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballots as will my brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles etc. thirty that I know of, and they know people that I don't. Obama-bots say those who voted for Hillary because she is a woman, are sexist. What does that make Obama supporters who voted for him because he is black..RACIST? I thought so

How can a person say, "I will vote the issues come November" and then in the next breath say, "I will never vote for Sen. Obama because of the way the DNC treated Hillary"? Is this really voting the issues or is this a way of sticking it to the DNC, which in turn, will stick it to us?

Honestly, if you like high jobless rates, high oil prices and the dollar being worth very little, stick with Republicans. Under Regan, we had some very lean years economically. Under Clinton, we had some very strong years economically. The last eight years have become slowly horrible and will continue if a Republican stays in the White House.

The DNC might have angered you, but don't let it cloud your vision of what is best for the country.

no, really, when will she go away, for good.... I am so sick of this being about H I L L A R Y

It is time for us Democrats to come together. Let us please STOP all the divisive comments about one another. Obama does need Clinton and her supporters to win back the White house. i am quite sure the Hilliary will play an large part in a Obama organization. Her roll will make or break us Democrats. Our children need Obama in the White House. There are millions of people that dont have health care or suitable heath care. One month ago I lost my Dad to cancer. The pain is still there for me. But his insurance didnt want to pay for certain drugs or procedures. It is time for that to end. Woman voting for McCain will end your right to choose. We have a war that many are being killed or injured. And what is the government doing about it? Not enough. It is time to end this war. It is costing $12 billion dollars a month. Just think of what that money can do right here in the United States. I would like to see my nephews and nieces get the education that they need. I dont want to see no one else have to bury there son or daughter due to this war. Let us come together and vote for Barack Obama. Please

I don't think Hillary will sit back and watch her supporters make the wrong decision.

And the people who are saying, I won't vote for Obama because Hillary lost or whatever the reasons are – - Go take a hike.

The good hearted people really don't care to read your distraught thoughts. Too bad all you negative people are the way you are. You all should really take a good look at yourselves, you might even surprise yourselves and change for the good.

Be positive, it's more healthier for you.

@VW....how has the democratic party betrayed Clinton? Does this have anything to do with Florida & Michigan. If so, technically she got the upper hand in this. They all were told that FL and Michigan would not count. According to Senator Clinton, she supposedly won FL and Michigan(where BO name was not even on the balad) and she was able to collect the most delegates from both of these contests even after she herself agreed that these 2 states would not count.

She came out on top in this situation....but it just wasn't enough to make up for her previous losses.

Barack Obama won fair and square!!!! He followed all of the rules and he ran a clean, honest, and honerable campaign and came away with the most delegates. Hillary Clinton supporters need to realize this, get over it, and stop being sore losers. We are all adults here.

Hillary will not win if she decides to run in 2012. If for some reason Barack does not win this year, it will be Clinton's fault as she has tried to undermine his entire campaign.

For those of you voting for McCain out of spite or hurt feelings, Barack's 08's supporters will do the same in 2012 against Hillary!

I 'm sorry- but I can not come to grip with this woman.
Don't trust her Obama

After 2 years of having both Houses, the Democrats accomplishments consist of more free trade policies, bail-out approval for JP Morgan, continued war funding with no plans required, patriot act renewal, phone tapping with immunity. What's the difference between a liberal Democrat and a right-winged Republican? Nothing, neither cares about the working class.

The only moderates in the race were McCain and Clinton. With Clinton out of the race, McCain is the best we have to represent the moderates, the middle class, the working class.

If John Kerry thought McCain was his best choice for VP in 2004, and Joe Biden thought he & McCain should run on a united ticket in 2008, that's proof enough for me that McCain is the best MAN left in the race.

god bless america.i just watched mcsame on youtube and i pray he doesn't become president,HE IS JUST TOO OLD.HIS GENERATION HAS PAST,NOW IS OUR TIME.HIS GENERATION SHAPED OUR GENERATION,NOW LET US SHAPE OUR CHILDREN'S OWN.GOD BLESS ALL READING THIS,AMEN

Shouldn’t true empowerment arise out of actions resulting in the common good that one believes in? If Hillary Clinton shares your beliefs, is casting a vote for McCain true empowerment? Come November, a democratic vote for McCain will feel empowering for about 10 minutes-the potential downside will last 4 years, and potentially 96 more after that. There is a pressing need to think outside of one’s self and beyond hurt feelings and bruised pride. It wasn’t Hillary Clinton’s ‘turn’ any more than it was Barack Obama’s ‘turn’. It is, however, time for the United States to ‘turn’ the page.

I'll answer your question "Tell the Truth". Your command of the English language is why I will not support Obama or agree with his supporters. I have no idea where you come from, but in this country, my vote belongs to me. My opinion belongs to me. And I have the right to share it with whomever I please. The real issues here are that Obama is a leftist leaning towards communistic ideals. He has neither real world political experience nor significant problem solving skills. He cannot even stand up in a debate. I have lived here for 43 years without a president like him and I can stand 4 more years of war voting for McSame better than I can stand buying a new pair of shoes simply because they were fashionable and on sale and then having to guess how uncomfortable I might be for the rest of my life wearing them.

Hillary Supporter:

You say you wont vote for Obama but for McCain. You say you will vote for Hillary in 2012. Just beaware you will need Obama supporters in 2012 think about that!

Hillary knows what she wants, Obama knows what she wants, Both know what to do to win in November, and I could not believe they will not do it just for the pleasure of spending some other hundred thousand dollars in fighting....

Obama ran a race and he won. He didn't break any rules and the delegates came as the result of votes. The supers went the way of the people. I haven't come across a HRC supporter who can explain why 51 states count in every vote but don't when they're counting the popular vote.

HRC and BHO played by the same rules and one lose. Those people that say that they're being pushed to McCain are the same ones who will sit up and cry the most when inflation, the war and loss of jobs take whats dear to them.

Maybe then you'll realize that the Dems were pushing for the same things and you guys voted out of anger but ended up killing your own future.

For anyone who keeps drumming on John McCain's "experience" - especially Hillar's supporters - pls. remember it's not just the experience that counts, it's what you do with it. Experience in doing the wrong thing is something we can all do without. Just imagine how lethal W. would have been if he had had more "experience.

Hey Vig –

Your threats are really iritating and starting to sound quite redundant. If your ruled by spit please keep that negativity to yourself.

We are trying to change the country and this world. People like yourself are becoming a liability, to yourself and your children.

to all you Unity of the Party People:
Obama has won the delegates needed to be the Dem nomination for this general election, but he CANNOT win without Hillary's delegates and supporters. His meeting has now become evident to us "believers" that change was something to believe in and not to really expect from Obama. He is 'courting' Hillary now to beg for her supporters to 'unify' the party but in reality it comes back to the same old political machine of saying and doing anything to WIN.
He knows he CANNOT win without her supporters....and when early in his campaign he stated 'we don't need her or her supporters' he was being a POLITICIAN. Check his stance on issues at Votesmart.org.
I now say let him do it on his own if he is so confident of his platform " A change We Can Believe In"; because if he picks Hillary for VP or to help him campaign then it's back to politics as usual in the US. Hilary is politics as usual....and I now expect NOTHING to change whether it be Obama or McCain!
From Slick Willy, to Bumbling Bush, and now to McBush or NoVoteObama we all suffer. Great job citizens!

why not drop out completely Hillary suspending is like holding the party hostage to me

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter and I feel that the media, DNC and most of CNN Commentators were biased against her. All of the negative comments were not warranted. Now that it's over and you will have very little to say about her you (CNN) keep asking if she'll be his VP.

That decision is his to make and hers to take or decline if offered. If he loses to John McCain without her who will you blame then?

The bottom line is that they are both excellent people and it's good to have them in politics and as Presidential candidates. They are both above the fray of us mortals not in politics and know how to band together to get the job done.

Good race and we need a Democrat in Nov.

Scary times for our nation... I hope that people are praying. A leader of a nation needs to have values, and lead by always doing what's right. Right now, I don't think either Obama or Clinton really care about what's right. They care about what is "democratic" and what is popular enough to get them the most votes.

The only thing Senator Obama needs to decide now is which suit he will wear at the inauguration.

President Obama.

This man is a breath of fresh air.

I don't understand why so many Hillary supporter say that she was treated with disrepect. What about how Sen Obama? He has been treated more harsh by the media than any candidate. He's been accuse of things he didn't say, but by what someone else has said. Ok Hillary supporters if you are a true democratic then with joint and unite and vote for Obama. How can you say you would vote for McCain because Hillary lose. Hillary is not a Republican. You say that you are a register democratic but you would throw you vote to McCain...how dumb is that! The Primaries are over...someone was going to win and someone was going to win. (there's no changing that fact)

P.S, "ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE-THEN YOU WILL BE THE WAY YOU ACT"

Obama Can’t win this election with support of DNC,MSNBC,CNN,CBS, and abc
Now he realized that
If he want to win this election he need Hillary democrats this true
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Several things that you should consider.

1. You want change you vote for change...McCain ( 5 more years in Iraq ) Is not change...think about it.
2. Vote for candidates with similar issues. (Hillary-O'bama)
3. Don't act like 2 year olds do. ( I can't have who I want then I go to the other side )
4. It doesn't matter if the troops stay 5 more years or if gas is $4.00 – $6.00 for 5 more years or the economy gets worse for 5 more years or if I or anyone I know loose there home I'd rather write in Hillary or vote for McCain because I can't see beyond the color barrier( hmm If you were drowning and O'bama was there would you give him your hand to save you or would you just die?)
5. O'bama is trying to save us ( refer to #4)

Lynn. He doesn't need her delegates. The primary race is over. To win the WH he needs electorial votes.

Ted From Edmonton. In order to change the way this country does politics it will take a new mind set. If you're not ready to move forward there are others who will including Rep. and Independents. They will make up for the votes of the old regime.

Vig. With all of Hillary's and McCains so called experience, guts and leadership look where this country is now. This country has never been in a worse state. Its time for a change.

betilu. McCain reflects your values? He is loyal to America? When that day comes and this administration is on trial for the 4000+ soldiers who have died and the hundreds maimed McCain will be one of the accused. He wants to privatize social security so that the
companies can steal the senoirs hard earned money, doesn't want to give the military more benefits when coming out, doesn't care about people losing their homes. You need to read your bible and find out what Christian values are. McCain doesn't even go to church.

BJ. Respect is earned. Hillary had no respect for the party or Obama in this primary. No respect for the Kennedy's or blacks. She dug her own grave. She tried to use the media and reporters to destroy Obama. It all backfired on her. What goes around comes around.

dl. When are you going to get it. THis is not a beauty or personality contest. This election is not about Hillary or Obama. It is about taking the WH and this country back from the Rep. Hillary is was and is getting her due. It's just that the country and the state of it is more important than she is.

in november when obama becomes president.hillary supporters who voted for mcsame,are going to miss out on the oppotunity to celebrate an historic moment.an it will be their fault.

I challenge all of hillary's supporters that threatens to vote mccain or write in hillary at the general election to do exactly that. when our country falls deeper into the abyss, they will no one else to blame but their own ignorance and pathetic blind loyalty to a candidate that did nothing but rile them up just to advance her own cause, the party, the country be damned. no one, absolutely, no one stole this nomination from hillary. she bungled her chances herself! her ineptness and arrogance did her in. and if you, her supporters, still don't see the great chances of america getting back into the position of being the best country on earth, the only country that the rest of the world look up to, the only country where democracy reigns, and the only country where peoples of the world envy because of all of these, then so be it. you can wallow in your own mud when you vote mccain or write in hillary's name.

so God help us all.

I have learned that there are many Republicans posing as angry Clinton supporters trying to keep us divided. Do not believe it. There are some Repubs who are desparate and will try anything because they know they are toast this year. They think we are dumb enough to vote McCain in because of their bogus posts. Democrats will be united in November! Get ready for defeat McCain, Bush, Cheney and the politics of the past! It is going to happen. Accept it now or later, it really doesn't matter.

I am not a republican posing as a democrat–I would never vote for Obama–too hard left and radical–also has questionable friends.Brazille, for one, whose mama taught her not to cheat-but forgot to tell her that stealing was just as bad. I truly believe yhat the dems have sunk very low. Bill Clinton was the most successful Dem Pres of modern times and they treated him like dirt for most of this election. He is the one that won over most of the rural voters . The AA's deserted him after all he has done for them.The dems have become a party of turncoats and are not loyal. Why should we be loyal to them?

I cant really get myself to trust her

Obama won't be legally allowed to pay off Clinton with her debt...so no worries there. He'll just be able to fundraise with certain donors he has to help her.

That being said, the woman DID make $109 million dollars in 10 years....her and her husband should just pony up that money themselves.

Question:

If they join forces, will Lieberman dismantle that sham and fraud of a website courting Hillary voters?

@Ern....and exactly what damage has Barack Obama caused? I just don't understand this. What has he done??????

Democrats, stop drinking the punch. Why do you continue to come on CNN and post these ignorant rants about either candidate. I will admit, from time to time, I got caught up, but its OVER. O-V-E-R. One thing I do like about Republicans is they know how to keep their dirty laundry quite. In the Wall Street Journal, they talked about how McCain is not successfully uniting the Republican base because they believe that he will be a long term problem for the party. But if this were a Democrat, we would be all on CNN, MSNBC, and other blogs screaming about it. Republicans are secretely in fear of Obama. Look at how they registered to vote under the Democratic seal just to keep him out of office. UNITE...Hillary supporters, do not derail a party that this woman that you claim to love obviously supports.

Why are there still 145 superdelegates holding back???

Anyone knows?

Why is Caroline Kennedy on the VP "search team?"

What experience does she have in helping to find a qualified candidate?

...simply the Kennedy name?

Oh, I forgot, she's now Michelles new best friend.

Go McCain!!!

Too much anger, friends. I'll admit, I was a little miffed at her after that speech Tuesday. But theres too much important work to be done. Bygones.

Let's put this baby to bed. Whatever Obama wants to do, he will do. If he sees it as the best thing for the party, he'll pick her. There's a lot of upside to choosing her. I think she still needs to properly give him his respect though. If she can do that, then I'll be wholeheartedly open to a joint ticket. I think IF they can settle their differences (Obama doesn't seem like the kind of guy to hold a grudge) then they can be a powerful, unstoppable force.

A top adviser to Senator John McCain says Mr. McCain believes that President Bush’s program of wiretapping without warrants was lawful, a position that appears to bring him into closer alignment with the sweeping theories of executive authority pushed by the Bush administration legal team.
______________________________________
The above statement from a CNN article is just one of the many reasons that you Sen. Clinton supporters have to get on board and support Sen. Obama. We can not afford to have a McCain presidency.

@VG...who said that people voted for Obama because this was going to be a historic milestone? Obama won the nomination and that's what happens to be a historic milestone!! You have it mixed up.

Obama supporters like him and truly believe that he can take this country in a different and more positive direction.

I am sick of hearing how everyone who doesn't vote for Obama is a racist – is everyone who didn't vote for Hillary a sexist? Get over the stupid generalizations. I personally would not vote for Obama because of his lack of experience, and because of his far, far left voting record. I'd prefer someone, anyhow, who has the interests of ALL Americans at heart, not just the violently liberal.

So for everyone asking why a democrat would not vote for Obama – there you go. As someone pointed out earlier, change from extreme right to extreme left is not a way to unite the country. Clinton or McCain are far more likely to bring the country together. And this is from someone who couldn't stand Clinton a few years back.

Obviously, since she announced that she would discuss the importance of the presidentical campaign against McCain, Obama would and should have some talking points he would want her to include in her speech. It makes sense that the two of them would hammer out that speech together.

Plus, I suspect Obama finally found out "what Hillary wants." He gets her database, she gets her debt paid off.

Obam can win the White House without Hillary... By Taking Hillary as VP he might show sign of weakness... Don't forget about Hillary Bagage... with hillary we will not talk about CHANGE... No Obama/Hillary Ticket.

It's very strange that Clinton or her supporters want to change the normal protocol of VP selection. YOu just don't force the winner to take the second place loser for a VP. Obama can choose whoever he wants. OBAMA IS NOW THE BOSS.

We can't have Hillary and Bill, that's absolutely to much baggage. I agree she would be someone in the picture. Not VP.

NO, no, no.......
Obama '08

Clearly people, if Obama and Clinton can work together, then the rest of us should be able to work together for the sake of the Democratic Party.

People who want to vote for McBush, since Hillary lost, take sometime and think about this. Hillary will by okay, she has millions, you won't!

Caption to the above photo:

Hillary: "Barack, I need you to pay my debts which are a result of my incompetent fiscal management skills. In return, I will go back to the Emerald City and take out my frustrations on the Munchkins".

Barack: "No can do Bill, er I mean Hillary. My supporters deserve my respect on this and I am in it for them, not me.

Hillary: "Darn"

exactly, rachel............ I mean come on a website and petition to force Clinton on the ticket is not unity. PEOPLE THIS ELECTION IS TO IMPORTANT TO PLAY WITH........ IT IS UP TO US HOW WE CHOOSE TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS DEPENDING ON WHO YOU VOTE FOR.....
I AM WILLING TO RETRACTEVERY NEGATIVE THING I HAVE SAID ABOUT CLINTON (ALTHOUGH THEY WERE FUNNY)

HOW ABOUT YOU CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE YOU GUYS READY TO MEND THIS FENCE????

OBAMA 08 AND BEYOND..................

The media is full of stories how Senator Obama needs to take the initiative to mend fences as much as possible with Hillary’s support base. Yet, not much is being said of the need for reparations on the part of Hillary for the overwhelmingly negative campaign that she waged; one that defeated her justifiably in the end.

Her deplorable actions, her false accusations and outright dishonesty should not be forgotten, much less rewarded.

For the party come together, it is Hillary who should be making the greater effort to unify the voters of both camps, not the Democratic Nominee for President of the United States. Then, and only then, can the party move forward to beat McCain.

He simply needed some advice; how do I debate John McCain?

Obama preaches well, though to debate is another story!

Go McCain!!!!

I worry that she can undo the damage she has caused and the division she created. She created a mob of angry rabid Democrats and it almost as if they really didnt watch what was going on. the more Obama left Hillary alone and tried to stear clear of the hate the more upset they became. It became very childish. Go back and look at the last five months. you can find factual and unbiased documentation about how each of them handled their campaign. This has never truly been about race or gender. It has always been about the two individuals who were running, both capable, both intelligent. Baracks only offense to Hillarys people is that he won. Hillary spent so much time inflaming her people that now they cant come out of it.

I've had time to think it over. I really hope that Barack and Hillary work it out. Not for the election, but because their politics & policies were soooo similar. They could be working together for many years to come. I hope they can revive and strengthen their friendships after these grueling contests.

Obama will make a great President:

I heard in recent years from some of your politicians that american people have the best health care.

In my opinion your country has the worst health care of most civilized nations:

In my province: WE have the ” Alberta Government Health Plan”

Starting January 1. 2009 it will be FREE Public Health Care for all people!!

There should be no Health Care for Prolfit by fat Insurance Corporation and their share holder.. You tell that Obama, Hillary and McCain.

NO PROFIT ON PEOPLES HEALTH PERIOD:

I truly hope that Sen Obama does not select Sen Clinton as his VP. I believe she and President Clinton would undermind him at every opportunity. It would be a no win situation for him. If he does well as President, then her supporters will say that it's truly her running the white house. If he does bad, it will be said that it's only because he won't listen to her. I believe that by Sen Clinton continuing to fuel the negative flames with her supporters, she is hoping that Sen Obama loses in the fall. This will give her the opportunity to say, "I told you I was more electable." She nor her supporters will see nor accept the part they played in his defeat. She has managed to convience over 17 million people that she has their best interest at heart. However, her actions show that she's only interested in herself. How dare she try and blackmail her way into the VP slot. Sen Obama must be able to fully trust his second in command. I believe that selecting Sen Clinton as his VP would show very bad decision making skills. Please Sen Obama do not bow to the pressure.

No Obama /Clinton ticket... No No No No No no Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I have voted for Democratic candidates in every primary election, general election (including midterm elections), and recall election (I voted in CA against the 2003 recall of Gray Davis) since 1996, sometimes enthusiastically and other times not so much, and since 2004 I have donated money to candidates like Harold Ford, Jr. (at least $200) and Hillary Clinton (over $500) and even a little to the DNC.

But I will never support or vote for Barack Obama for President of the United States.

As if his weak performances in all the early debates, revealing just how much he really did not know about the issues just 6 to 12 months ago weren’t enough, when I learned about the way he eliminated other Democratic candidates from the ballot in 1996 when he first ran for state Senator, when I learned about the way in which he did only what was best for his own career for eight years as a state Senator by voting ‘present’ at least 130 times, when I learned that he joined a church twenty years ago to advance his political career (and then watched him renounce that same church recently to advance his political career… you just can’t make this stuff up), when I learned about his relationship to Rezko (and that he found time in the first year as a U. S. Senator to buy a nice house and a bit of extra land for himself from this convicted felon in an under-the-table deal, but that he could not find time in a year and a half to convene the subcommittee with jurisdiction over NATO and Afghanistan that he supposedly chairs even once), when I learned all that about him and more, I decided that I can never vote for such a person to be president of the United States. Even if he weren’t sleazy, he has no record of real accomplishments or service whatsoever, and he has weaseled his way off with the nomination that he does not deserve for an office that he is far from ready to hold with nothing but flowery rhetoric and empty slogans.

Goodbye, my party that has betrayed itself and us all.
CITIZENS FOR McCAIN ’08

If you pay off her debt, you'll never get another cent from me! I support Obama, but my money is not going to be spent for settling a mess Hillary got herself into from mismanagement.

Obama is a gentleman he went to her house to have discusion when it of have been the other way around, this shows you his leadership skills he can get along with anybody even Hillary.

Go Obama and God bless you
Yes We Can
Change we can beleive in

GO CLINTON GO!

Two quick points:

1. To Obama supporters: I hate to rain on your parade but it looks like Barack might not need our opinions to pick a running mate. Whomever he picks, I will be happy with.

2. There are 3 or 4 republicans on, passing themselves off as a bunch of ppl, posting anti-hillary and anti-barack comments to try to divide. While I enjoy drinking in the sweet nectar of their despair, I would like ask all posters on here, who are honest and unafraid to state openly what candidate they support, to not give them a second thought or respond to their silly comments.

Thanks

Its the RIGHT THING TO DO. She has earned this vp slot. They are close on the issues that matter to democrats. Together they could possibly deliver on the promises that politicians make while running for office but rarely are delivered. If hes the man that they say he is he will ask HER.

You say you won’t vote for OBAMA, but we have just as many REPUBLICANS. who say they will. Just something to think about for you CLINTON SUPPORTES who won’t support OBAMA.

It sounds like an EVEN TRADE OFF TO ME, except the cross over REPUBLICANS is getting the better part of the deal. Just my 2 cents.

You are going to look real funny with your nose cut off.

Now is the time to SHANK HANDS, KISS and make up to get ahead of the game.

Obama 08!

She needs to keep her delegates; they are not his. I will vote for McCain instead of Obama because I believe he will be a better President. It is my responsibility to choose the better President. Why would I be loyal to a party that has treated the Clintons so shabbily. Howard Dean and the DNC created this mess; they can clean it up without my money. I do not for one minute believe the negative comments come from Republicans; they were inspired by Obama. He has always inspired hatred and animosity. God help this country if he is elected.

By law, he cannot pay her debt. That's a rumor.

He could offer to help with a fund-raiser to help her pay, and I suspect he will.

I would recommend those that hope for an Obama Clinton ticket to COOL all talk on the subject ... in particular those trying to orchestra this (Lanny Davis / Bob Johnson /the so-called Vote Both ... which really are all just one organization).

Obama will dismiss efforts by any faction that tries too hard. He is a man of strong character and convictions; he is a process oriented person that will analyze situations and make informed decisions.

Should he need input from unbiased counselors, he will seek it. He will be inclusive in his methods but at the end of the day, he's got the ball.

presumptive is definitely the wrong word!!accept it he is the democratic nominee j cosey

Hillary's VP chances ended on the day she came out saying how McCain was qualified for the job of president and Obama was not. She knew the chance she was taking in making such a statement and she took it anyway. This is the downside of the "kitchen sink" approach. Obama will help her with some of her debt but not all.

After all the mud-slinging they are now good buddies, haha, I knew it would happen. Should be interesting using all the clips from the campaign trail by Hillary to attack Nobama. I's sure Hillary will just say she 'mis-spoke'.

If Hillary Clinton is not on the ticket, I, a lifelong Democrat, will be voting for John McCain.

I wonder if Barack Obama is okay with his supporters alienated the voting constituency in Hillary Clinton supporters that he cannot win the White House without. Are Obama supporters really representing Obama? Maybe so, but he cannot win without us and many are planning to vote for McCain because we are tired of the nastiness from the Obama supporters.

We don't need you. We have nothing to lose.

LISTEN UP HILLARY SUPPORTERS THOSE OF YOU THAT WANT TO VOTE FOR MCAIN OUT OF ANGER HILLARY LOST OR WHATEVER YOUR REASON THAT WOULD BE LIKE BETRAYING HILLARY SHE WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING SHE HAS FOUGHT FOR OBAMA AND HER ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ON THEIR ISSUES ON LIKE MCCAIN SO AVOTE FOR MCCAIN HILLARY WILL LOSE ALL OVER AGAIN PLEASE DONT DO THAT TO HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please, please, please, Senator Obama, DO NOT choose Hillary as your running mate. We all know she is supremely qualified for the position, but she does NOT represent the change you seek to bring to Washington and she would be bringing along a lifetime of baggage to the campaign, including Bill Clinton. You would forever be in the shadow of the Clinton political machine. You have enough experience, charisma, and supporters to get elected without her name on the ticket. DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE. PLEASE.

and another thing – I think her campaign debt (most owed to herself!!) can come out of her own pocket.

Barack is just "even" with McCain in the polls? This should have been a blow-out year for Dems and instead we're seeing how shaky he is. I'll vote for him as the nominee (I was big for Hillary) though I don't think he can win. See you in 2012 Hillary – maybe McCain will be totally "gaga" by then (as was Reagan by his second term) and it won't be too hard taking out a sitting president.

Obama/Richardson '08!!

No Hillary Clinton as VP!

We need to continue message of change, Mr. Obama, please DO NOT choose her!!

- A lifelong Hispanic, female, college-educated Republican who voted for you!!

I hope one thing they discussed was her website, still with slogans all over it about supporting Hillary only.

It could not have been easy for her to do what she has done. I have nothing but respect and admiration for this great lady.

Still negative talk and hate from Obama supporters-- follow what your nominee speaks of.....

I am netheir a DEMOCRAT or REPUBLICAN , however i am a suporter of Clinton . At this point if Obama does not offer her the VP ticket i would rather write her name in then vote for Obama or Mc Cain . I believe she has earned it. And millions of her suporters feel this same way . After the way the Democratic party has treated her, I hope she would just chose her own runing partner and ran as an independent . She has my vote. And Depending on who Obama and Mc Cain choose to run with them , she might just win it . She has my vote, if Obama wants it and wants to unite your Democratic Party this would be his best option.

To Vig who said "How stupid is this country that it would nominate someone based on historic milestone, skin color and chants of change? What does this have to do with experience, guts and leadership? Absolutely nothing. So, come November, I will be writing-in Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot and I hope the other 18 million Americans who rejected Obama as their choice will do likewise."

Don't you think that millions of people voted for Hillary Clinton baed on historic milestone, last name, and (empty) chants of experience? I have heard so many people say they voted for Clinton because "well Bill was a good president" So don't be so quick to point fingers to those who voted for Obama. Some of us are able to look beyond skin color, gender, name recognition or lack of. I don't agree with you at all, however, I will not call you "stupid" as you so easily call others. I would just urge you to really think what impact it will have if you and the others you urge actually write in Hillary Clinton's name. Do you really want more years in Iraq, failing economy, no real healthcare solutions, and a possible end to women's right to choose? That is what you will get with McCain.

Let's see if this comment gets posted. I'm a Hillary supporter and I'm going to sit at home during general election. I know a lot of other Hillary supporters are going to vote McCain because they do not want to vote for Obama. Why? Many reasons.

1. Media portrays Hillary negatively. When the newspaper calls her a "white b**ch" and people say it's sometimes accurate to call women that, it is WRONG, no it is not right.

2. Obama supporters have been vile and nasty every time a Hillary article is posted and nonstop flames and insults to both her and her supporters. Another news column have said that her White and Latino supporters can stay at home because their votes could be cared less.

3. Another reason is if Obama does pick Clinton as VP, us supporters want her to re-run in 2012 so we DO NOT want Obama to win the election so that she will be unable to re-run.

4. Not only is the media biased, Obama is nothing but careful and sugar-coated speeches. He is not enough action for Hillary supporters and though their policies may be similar, they are not enough to sway us because actions speak louder than words.

There are more reasons but this is the gist of it.

All these Hillary supporters are very childish and selfish!! This is not about a canidate!! This is about the country! If you are a true dem (which I really don't think you are) you would vote dem no matter who the canidate is. Especially if you are for heath care, etc. I think you are for everything that Sen Obama is offering. But instead you cry like a little baby because Hillary did not win. Why not blame Hillary for not winning. I lot of her supporters went for Obama when she had started saying things to divide the party. So get over it and grow up!! I feel like I am talking to kids but I am sure you are over grown people. Get over it and unite people!!

No thanks ! My family have decided to vote for John McCain. Obama supporters who constantly trashed talked Hillary and Bill and there supporters can see that they now can't win. Let the ass kissing begin. The new Dean and Obama Democrats are to thank for that. I pray that every loyal true Hillary supporter will step up to the plate and vote for John McCain and not just write in Hillary's name. Let's not waste our vote , lets show the Obama camp that we can add . Maybe they will see why he lost the General Election. Blaming Bill and Hillary for every fault that Obama has and using the race card for every vote that she has gotten was a dis-respect to her camp . John McCain deserves our votes and he has gotten my families . Please don't become part of this racist regime now called the Democratic party, and Hillary please don't accept any position on this losing ticket. Wait for 4 more yrs. and gain more exp. and run again hopefully with a new third party. Howard Dean , Barack Obama , and Teddy Kennedy can kiss your and our butts . We can and will have the last laugh and then you can tell them , WE TOLD YOU SO !!!! Vote for John McCain in 08

How's come OBAMA is already saying not to expect a quick end to the IRAQ war? (IS he already "CRAWFISHING" on his campaign to bring home a Brigade a month after he is PREZ!" he most likely won't reach his goal to be PREZ. if this is what we can expect from this candidate.
(EMPTY PROMISES)

Al Gore for VP again!

If he doesn't offer her the VP, how about John Kerry?

ERN,
if Hillary supporters do not vote for Obama, they will suffer an other
more Bush years. Hillary has her millions of dollars.

Then when she come back in 2012 to run again, we Obama supporters will do the same. Do you know what? Life in US will turn out to be like in third world. We all go to hell!!

No matter how angry Clinton & Obama supporters are at each other at the moment, we are still united in our dislike of the direction that Bush has taken our country during the last 8 years. It is time to unite for a change of direction. McCain is a honorable man but will not make any changes from Bush's foreign policy. We must unite to end the war and so we can stop wasting American lives in Iraq.

OBAMA/SEBELIOUS 08.

Republicans are posting negative comments against Hillary to devide
Democrats WATCH-OUT!!

WE WILL UNITE ! YES WE WILL

Message to "to tell the truth" I am one of those that have posted I would vote McCain. The reasons...well, it's been like ACC basketball, you cheer so hard for a team that represents your energy for a win, and you hear the competitors slamming your "team" – and you just want to fight back. I honestly don't know which way I'll vote right now. There are stages we must go through in any type of loss, and it may seem silly to get so passionate about something that when you look at it from a distance – isn't like family, but we get addicted to the competition. We take the critic's opinions on as our own against our candidates because they have come to represent something within ourself, sometimes even separate from the issues. The news media has played us against one another. Mr. Obama's followers have condemned Hillary and vice versa – but truth be told, we would not be cheering for the underdogs of the Democratic party if we did not all have heart – we simply care and want a better place for our youth. We all want peace and a clean, safe environment – I am for whomever can support that. I have stated I'm afraid of Mr. Obama...but those fears have been put there by the media, so I do not know...yet which way I'll vote in the next campaign, but I will allow the "ne"t to be cut down and before the next "game" happens, there will be a time of silence to enable me – to listen to both sides and go with my heart. So, in answer to your question – we're going through the stages of grief.

Hillary and women know what is really at stakes in this election: Roe vs. Wade. McCain will appoint judges who will reverse this landmark ruling. Women, even if disappointed at Hillary's loosing, will eventually vote their interests and conscience. No woman in her right mind will vote to appoint a reactionary like McCain. That leaves some of the racist less-educated white males among the democrats, who genuinely hate Hillary, but who took her cause out of racist motives. Obama will counter their effect by bringing in many progressive independents and Republicans. Obama and Hillary supporters, be very careful of those reactionaries posting on this blog who pretend to be Hillary supporters. Many of those are actually McCain operatives.

I hope he dosn't pick her as VP. I can't wait till he falls flat on his face.
there is no way in hell that he can clean up after Bush. It is all
laughable. I had a wedding I attended last Sat. the bride and groom
have love for politics both Dem's, groom is an elected official. The big talk at the reception was that silly DNC meeting. There was 770 people in attendance at the reception and I couldn't find a soul that will be voting for Obama. They all have the same idea. vote for Mccain
If he by chance gets elected I think the funniest will be when Clinton can laugh in the face of all those unloyal back stabbing Dem's

McCain 08

Hillary will make an excellent VP. But what needs to happen right this moment is an immediate stop of her supporters demanding the VP slot. This is exactly what will make it impossible for Obama to give her the nod.

Hillary herself needs to step in front of the camera and tell everybody loud and clear that she considers any such demands out of line, that she fully supports Obama and that he has every right to take the time he needs and to choose the VP he wants.

What's going on behind closed doors is another thing.

i think now it's time for all of obama's supporters and all of clinton's supporters to sit down together for a little private discussion. they're the ones who need unifying.

This is awesome. I strongly believe Obama will take her as his VP.

Some of you are taking this way too seriously .. Let me say this the only way I know how, " You didn't win the nomination, You are not going to be President !" This goes to Obama supporters as well as Clinton supporters... I have watched both sides supporters rip each other in half as if THEY WON ... Well I know things become very personal during these things, but in the end , you DID NOT WIN, you will go home to your kids , your mortgage, your high gas and food prices..
I have said from the beginning that for some strange reason this election was becoming too personal ... And it has, people need to wake up, neither Barack or Hillary are going to call any of you for ADVICE or give ANY of you a job on their cabinets ... So chill ...
The democrats need to unite ... and stop the stupid playground fighting over stuff they have NO CONTROL over ..... They just want your VOTE and thats IT , not your advice on who they should pick what they should do etc.....

The entitlement is off the charts, how in the world has Obama caused damage or created division?

Why do you people believe that no one else was supposed to run and run well?

All the anger is misdirected, you should be angry at Senator Clinton for squandering her incredible advantages. You cannot get screwed from the catbird seat, you have to screw up.

"Obama didn't wait in line, it was Hillary's turn.", is the entire spirit of this Obama causing division talk. Everything else is a fabrication and this sincerely comes from someone who is not swept of my feet by Obama.
Senator Clinton is very, very close to Lieberman status with me, she sure better create some magic with the people she has worked into a frenzy on some pretty whimsical interpretations of events, the political process, and mathematics or I think she's done politically.

If she really is"not seeking" the VP why are her supporters still trying to cram this down his throat. They are cutting off their(and her)nose to spite their face. This is his call and no one elses. Give him the respect of some time and space. You do realize Bil has to be vetted, don't you?

Polls show that about 20% of Hillary supporters will vote for John McCain. Isn't that about the same number of Hillary supporters that were actually Republicans (Limbaugh Democrats) voting for her so that they could vote against her in November?

Isn't it likely that those same Hillary "supporters" are the ones who are trying to divide the party now? The media keeps saying Hillary supporters won't vote for Obama, but did you forget that many of those people weren't going to vote for Hillary either?

From what I have seen within the Obama and Hillary campaigns, most supporters are eager for the party to heal and come together to defeat John McCain.

...and your enemies closer.

There are a lot of people outside the U.S. that are befuddled by how little the citizens of your country know about the candidates that are involved in these primaries let alone the fact the most of the american media have obvious partisan agenda and sadly some americans have refused to use good judgement given the information they recieve from these outlets because of prejudices, biases and simple ignorance of issues that affect their lives and the world around them. American policies are not reflective of what the american people want and need. Big corporation obviously legally extend their clout in government and because of this, american policies have become tainted by the pursuit of these companies to satisfy their glutonious appetite for rich contracts and an excessive "bottomline". It has backfired. Poor foreign policies the likes of your protracted war in iraq have isolated you from the rest of the world. your dependence on oil for energy of which you could have easily overcome if your government diverted the resources wasted on the war were used on research and development on alternative source of energy instead of allowing the ruling republican party use 911 as a justification to occupy an oil rich state and protect and pursue interests of washington lobbyists that represent the multibillion dollar oil and defense contractors that plague the bush administration. Americans are know for their ingenuity, resilience and moral standing in the world. Its time that these values should be restored.
I hope americans start getting smart with their politics and go beyond the mind numbing spin of these politicians that have put you in the brink of disaster. government should serve the people and their interests not the other way around. In my humble opinion, I think the american people have this enviable opportunity to elect the most electrifying, sincere, talented, socially conscious, emphatetic, smart and the most refreshing leader since JFK and RFK in Barack Obama. No wonder the kennedys love him as he reminds them of both brothers. America and the World will be a better place if he became the United States 44th president. 44 seems like a lucky number. Goodluck America. We'll be watching.

Ron S.

I PREDICT THAT HILLARY IS UP TO SOMETHING, LIKE RUNNING INDEPENDENT, AFTER SHE JACKS 20 MILLION FROM BARACK OBAMA. THE POWER HUNGRY MACHINE WILL BE IN FULL GEAR NEXT WEEK!

Still Hillary wants to make some form of uncomfortability to Obama by holding her delegates. If she really wants to unite the party or support Obama, she must quit the race instead of suspending.

She is still thinking that something will happen to Obama or some changes will happen in Denver.

As far as I see her politics, she is not suitable to be the VP to Obama.

I will pray for all of you Hillary supporters who claim to be so "loyal to america" by voting for mccain you are showing your true heart of self hatred and racism. Just know that by voting 4 more years of "bush" continues to destroy american families. GOD be with us all.

Disillusioned Dems unite to defeat Obama. Vote for McCain the American hero. He is a centrist and so is Hillary. Obama is extreme left and Bush is extreme right. Both are wrong for America! A move from one extreme to the other is not good change!

People are complaining but one thing they don't realise is that Obama's supporters are not Obama. The first 20 or so comments in this blog were so encouraging and positive and were really nice to the American people and to the democratic party. Obama has been very respectful of Clinton from the beginning if any one says the contrary then he or she is a bold face liar. Check the facts and judge urself.

WHY CAN'T MCCAIN PAY FOR HER LOAN ISN'T HE GETTING HER 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS, THAT OUGHT TO COST HIM, RIGHT?

THERE SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON IN POLITICS...

let Mccain pay off her debt, after all arent her supportes backing him?
if Obama gives her 20 million, i don't trust her she might stab him in the back and run independent..of course for the purpose of winning, she will never give up on power, this woman is not quitting now, mark my words, saturday will surprise you, if not saturday the next week to come. there something fishy going on in politics...and if Obama falls for it then he is an idiot. i smell shennaniggans! come november if it ever does, the Bushes will be up to something with the clintons, Mccain is the weakest link, and Obama will be victim. i see a marshall law, riots in the streets, a canceled presidential election and a continuation of the bush administrastion. oh, but wait a president only serves eight years, think again...the Bush, Mccain meeting was very suspicious.

Disillusioned Dems unite for McCain in 2008 and Hillary in 2012! It is a matter of principle!

No to Obama!

"I won...........you lost".
Slam!!!!! "Knock, knock........Hilary??"

Those stating that Barack supporters are being mean to Hillary supporters, did ya ever think those actually being mean are in fact Republicans trying to divide us , or possibly Rush Limbaugh's supporters and Operation Chaos?

I for one am a Loyal Obama supporter and have been since the get go, I for one if it had been the other way around would be voting for Hillary Clinton, as she supports the Democratic cause...

I welcome all HIllary Supporters with Open arms and remind them we are fighting for the same thing, to put a Democrat in the white house...and to stop the mess the Republicans have gotten us into over the past 8 years...

Lets all come together and start working together for a common cause.

Let the healing being and the fight start with McCain going down!

DEMOCRATS 08!!

You know, I am one of those that think she over-emphasized her importance. Her ego and continuous assertion of being the better candidate even when she was losing in the most important delegate count did not go well with me. I know whatever decision she makes with Obama is their business, but experience like that makes me want to say forget about her. She and her supporters do not believe that Obama will win in November without them. Maybe it is time to prove her wrong again. I used to love this woman and her husband but her ego trip and manic assertions is unbelievable. I do not know how many people feel this, but I know Obama will win against all odds and being a part of the team is a privilege.

Why is CNN still covering the Clintons!!!!

Who should be VP?The ultimate winning ticket should read Obama/Oprah.

How nice...

The media, Senator Obama, and his supporters have been so hateful to Hillary Clinton )without any cause at all) that I find it impossible to support Senator Obama.

I don't want Hillary to be on the ticket, because Senator Obama's defeat in November will be staggering. And, of course the media, Senator Obama and his supporters will all blame Hillary.

Let them take responsibility for this mess themselves!

Once again, Senator Obama is too Liberal to win the general election!

I am writing in Hillary Clinton...

And by the way, how can Obama symbolize change and going away from the past to the future when all the people he's considering for posts are from the past like Sam Nunn and Tom Dashle (well, I like Tom Dashle, he was sort of a martyr)?

You know I read these blogs all the time after reading a story and it is sad that these fanatically obsessed Clinton campaign groupies are so thick headed... and why do you always type BHO or in lower case bho... we know the H is there... and we know he is black man... I say, bitter border line racially prejudiced folk if you ask me... because he is black is the real reason why you won't switch... remember he beat her "Hillary R. Clinton" he will do her a favor by giving her a job, if he want to... remember he got over 18 million votes off his own, you need to count the caucus states to get the accurate count, pluse he used his own name, She "HRC" married into the name Clinton. Her hushand was the President not her... She tried and lost.... So keep your single vote, give it to McCain who cares because the millions of new voters this year for him will out weigh the small amount of votes you prejudiced folks screw up, so it won't make the difference... if you ask me you sound Bitter!!!

YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!
YES WE CAN!
SI SE PUEDE!

Obama 08!!

Negativity kills creativeness, and unfotunately it is so common in all human beings and many times gives rise to self-pity, defeatism, frustration, anger ,and in higher form, to revenge and even physical harm to others and also to suicidal tendencies.

These all ultimately culminate into unacceptable results to self and to the family, neighbours and society.

Only when one accepts the reality what it is, and keeps away his/her own story or interpretation about the facts, the peace returns to mind , and a cool mind can think and decide logically the next course of actions for the individual, group , society and country and humanity as a whole.

Its just a matter of time and willingness to go ahead and for betterment in life which will allow correct judgement and actions to follow.

Why all successful people in almost every field appear so calm and composed , becuase they have learnt its value. Others may eny them admire them as they have never made that quality as a way of life. Once we start doing that , the world around us, the people , everything chnages and looks different and better and we feel more laive and satat having can do spirit.

let time and good judgmenet decide for which candidate people want to vote and vote as a positive action , not as a reaction arising from darker side of mind. We are no more kids to play only my marbles and only my barbie is good or if u dont play with me like i want, i may play with other not so good boys games

Never Obama.

There is nothing people can do to change the mind of Hillary's voters. More people push her supporters, the more they will resist.

Hillary said "please respect my voters," and she knows, people who voted for her are not her cohorts. They are people who make up their own minds. What seems missing the most is "MUTUAL RESPECT".

We don't try to persuade or change anybody, we are just fighting against the bullies and the misinformation.

Obama haters, You would doom our chance to end the war and save many lives, because you don't like Obama? Inflatoin is every where and you say you don't like the company he keeps? What a cop out, Bush, McCain and all other politicains have shady associates. Hillary during this race has ben totally nasty, but yet Obama supporters move on. You Hillary supporters say that Obama needs Hillary, no my fellow Americans we need your vote as Americans to stop this war, and get out of debt, and recoup jobs, we Americans need your vote, for a better economy. And if you feel you can;t vote for a black man then you don't care that black men and women are fighting and dying in this war and deserve support and acceptence as our brothers and sisters just like all citizens. Don't let race be the factor in how you vote.

As for the Texas Democrat's we are finding our way to Unifying here in Austin Texas with the aid of great folks like the Honorable Ron Kirk.

What i simply cannot understand is why people are so bitter that Obama won. You go on about how the nomination was stolen from Clinton and how it was the superdelegates that chose him and how she has over 18million votes.
Couple of points for you to consider:
1. The rules regarding superdelegates have been in place for decades and Clinton was aware of these rules AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM when she decided to run for president;
2. How was the nomination stolen from her, when Obama had a majority of pledged delegates before the superdelegates decided?;
3. Even if Clinton had been awarded Florida and Michigan as they voted (even though she was aware of and agreed with the rules when they were set), she would still have been way behind Obama;
4. Obama ALSO had over 18million votes (and this despite the fat that he got "0" votes in Michigan!

So when you say, "the nomination was stolen from Clinton", what exactly are you talking about?!?

dl and BJ I am so with you. Obama's supporters will blame Hillary if Obama loses, just as they've blamed her for everything else. But when Obama loses in November, they'll have only themselves to blame for trashing and swift-boating half the democratic party! How can they possibly expect us to support their candidate? He's supposed to be the candidate of the elite and intellectual types, the college students, the supposedly intelligent, so how come his smart supporters lost half the democratic party for him? As a woman, I won't stand to be disrespected by them, and by the way, as someone who fought for civil rights all my life I won't be disrespected by these people who have no sense of history. Supposedly the women will quiet down and take it. This is one woman who won't. McCain welcomes us, the Republican party has never treated us the way the Democrats have. I'll either write in her name or vote McCain, depending on the logistics of it.

People should take responsibility for their own actions. Your vote is your responsibility. You cannot blame the DNC or the MSM or some anonymous poster for your vote for McCain.

And your vote does not send any kind of message to anyone. Votes are anonymous. Vote for McCain if you want him as your President. Do not vote for him for any other reason.

Before you vote, find out something about this man. You might find out that this "patriot" worked hard and successfully to take a big Air Force contract from Boeing and give it to a European company Airbus. You might find out that this good family man was cited by the Navy for committing adultery on multiple occasions. He divorced his crippled wife to marry a woman 17 years younger.

He ran on change. She brings no change.

Moreover Obama said he needs someone absolutely trustworthy as an advisor. The way she ran her campaingn, often mocking his vision with words like "a choir of angels will come down from the sky and all will be well", means she can't be trusted. She didn't even congratulate him on his win.

She is NOT a lady, she was NOT an honourable adversary. Her campaign (which means her) are blackmailing Obama into getting her as VP.

I hope he doesn't buckle. There are plenty of people around with more experience, less treacherous and who share his vision.

It's not a question of switching votes if he chooses her or if he doesn't choose her. Dems should vote for the democrat nominee. The point is she is NOT the best choice for HIS VP. They don't mix, they are oil and water, she will hate being number two (though she doesn't seem to mind using any means to get the post) and will forever keep trying to outshine him.

Senator Obama should not solicit or accept Senator Clinton as the Vice President candidate. Senator Obama won the nomination without her support. If I wanted to support Senator Clinton, I would have gone to my caucus and sat with her supporters. I was a republican. I voted for Senator Obama because of his message of change. If Senator Clinton is on the ticket, there is no change. With Senator Clinton as vice president, it will turn the Obama administration into a three ring circus. Could you imagine the meetings? “Well Bill would have done this, and Bill would have done that.” The Clintons are polarizing and controversial. They are the Wal-Mart of politics. They are powerful and popular, but like Wal-Mart, there are millions that don’t shop there. Senator Obama is tapping into a market of republicans and independents that will be turned off by an Obama/Clinton ticket. My fear these groups will leave the Obama camp and support Senator McCain. What about the Clinton supporters leaving the party? Once things cool down, people will realize this great historical event and want to participate just as much as I do. We are not coming together to mend the Democratic Party but to mend a country. An opportunity to elect the first black president of the United States will only come once. You do not want to wind up telling your grandchildren “no, I was mad and voted for some white guy.”
The Clintons as citizens should also be included with this historical event that awaits all of us. Everyone, regardless of their station in life, should have the opportunity to participate with electing Senator Obama as the next president of the United States of America.

All i said was there is not a democrat that will allow us to drill our own oil.

Great move!!
Gracia!!

Does CNN block your entries because it doesn't meet their political purposes

Bill richardson Gov new Mexico for vice president latino american thats what we need so many negitives about latinos would be a perfect ticket I voted for hillary lets hope for the best ??????

SLAM!!!!!Hillary that was that glass ceiling slamming shut on you by the Democrat hiarchy.

Yesterday evening, German TV announced that Senator Clinton has no intention to become Senator Obama`s running mate. Does CNN confirm this breaking news or do they think this is just a rumour?

Well I am one of the 18 million Sen Clinton voters and I openly will say this after what has occured this year so far I am extremely disappointed in the DNC for there roody poo decisions that they make , I mean look at the chairman of the DNC, enough said . Lets face it, here are my main concerns : 1. How many "big" states did Obama win? ( example California) hmmmm enough said on that oh yeah i forgot Florida but so did the DNC ( what a crying shame by the way) 2. How much expierence does Mr Obama have? minimal at best in my opinion . 3. How can Mr Obama say that he distants or disowns jermiah wright when he had been looking up to him for 20 years, Jermiah Wright didnt get that way over night ( in my opinion ) and that mans serman was awfully harsh toward America.

Well I hope everyone is happy because our great party appears to be divided "changes and promises" in politics so often cause alot of problems and once again prime example of why. I am gonna stop now and say good luck to the Obama campaign . Just so you know I am one of the millions and millions of blue collar democrats that happen to love the Clintons as well so i guess you have figured out where my vote is going to go huh? Oh yeah one more thing to Obama supporters notice how I wasn't arrogant and bad mouthing Mr Obama ? just thought maybe you could take a few notes and learn that is bad business when you let arrogance take over its a long time till November. Thanks for reading

McCain 08

Hillary Clinton 2012

OBAMABOTs we will unite once there is a Obama/Clinton ticket

If not good luck beating McCain. Because I will vote McCAin.

RESPECT OUR 18 million votes

I'll vote for which ever candidate, congressman, representative, party that will allow us to drill our own oil. Still develop alternative sources, but we will always need some oil, hopefully reduce the demand through alternative sources, and the amount we drill will make us independant of other countries controlling our economy with oil prices.
Drilling can be done environmental safe in ANWR<Coastal Shelf and in our states. We let other countries drill off our coast, but we won't. we already drill and have a pipeline in alaska, and it affect nothing and alaska residents approve of it. Also we need to cut the gas tax on diesel fuel, it would save truckers over 1200.00 a month, not the 30.00 politicians claim. It cost a trucker over 1200.00 just to fill up once. so .25 cents on the dollar over a month adds up, and it is also added to the goods that companies produce and sell. Ask any democrat if we can drill our own and be independant of foriegn oil. Why should they produce more when they know we are not producing our own.

Good luck with that write in. Heck, here in Louisiana write-ins are not allow. Also, most states require the candidate (being Sen. Clinton in this case) to sign a petition and get around 300 signatures to allow her to be a write-in name. This was done to prevent people from writing in non-Americans, terrorist and the like, etc. etc. etc.

So, since Sen. Clinton is not going to sign the petition your vote will be thrown out as a invalid ballot. However, I guess you will complain about the rules after the fact. Stating your vote was ignored, or you were disenfranchised. People please I beg of you read a book at the library... "Elections for Dummies" perhaps?

Furthermore, it amazes me how many people in America these days disregard the laws/rules of this country just for their selfish wants and needs. You sound the like one of those people who call a person that reports another for a crime a 'snitch'. SICKENING!

Congratulations to the Democratic Party for shattering the glass ceiling on presidential politics! The Democratic party has shown that race and gender are no longer obstacles to the ultimate American Dream.

Thank you to Senators Clinton and Obama for your courage and leadership!

YES WE CAN! YES WE WILL!

Democrats united in '08!

anything she wants nut DO NOT pick her for VP no WAY!!!!!!!

Not all Obama supporters are rude. I was, and still am for Clinton. And I am for Obama. To all the diehard Hillary supporters that plan to vote McCain: The enemy of you enemy is not your friend. And Obama isn't even your enemy. Obama will enact 90% of the things Hillary was in favor of. McCain will enact NONE of them. Forget about women's rights under McCain. You aren't punishing Obama supporters by voting McCain – you are punishing yourself, women, and your county. The Republicans are chortling away over this – and they WILL take advantage of you for it. Think about it, please!

Congratulations to the Democratic Party for shattering the glass ceiling on presidential politics. The Democratic Party has shown the nation that gender and race are no longer obstacles to the ultimate American Dream.

Thank your Senators Obama and Clinton for your courage and leadership!

YES WE CAN! YES WE WILL!

Democrats united in 08!

I don't understand why HRC supporters are threatening to vote for John McCain because she lost the nomination. Hillary supporters, please help me understand why you will vote for McCain who's policies are night and day compared to that of the candidate you strongly support? Threatening to vote for McCain only reveals that your support for HRC has nothing to do about the issues and harsh realities Americans are facing. It reveals that you support her because she's a woman or that she's white or that she's a Clinton, non of which has anything to do with what America is facing today. Why? Given the choices we have between Sen. Obama & Sen McCain, why vote for someone's policy that totally conflicts with the policy of Sen. Clinton than voting for the candidate who's policy is, in many ways, simular to hers (if your motives for supporting HRC are truly in regard to the issues Americans are facing)? To even hint at voting for McCain if or because HRC lost, tells every one of us of your selfishness. This type of attitude totally dishonors the right to cast a vote; a right that many Americans gave their lives to obtain and exercise. For the record, I'm a supporter of HRC, I'm white and a mother of three (a woman). Inspite of my whole-hearted support for her, Sen. Obama has inspired me to help make a difference in changing America for the people who make it what it is .....the American people. At the end of the day, inspite of who is supporting who, it is all about the American people and the change and progress we have to make. So my plea to you: "Support Sen. Barack Obama. Look past the name, the youth, the skin color, the gender and any other petty thing that mature adults should overlook. Vote on the very issues that motivated you to support HRC."

Change We Can Believe In......

5 good choices in 08

No VP for Hillary Rotten Clinton, Sen Obama would not be able to close his eyes at night!!

What a snake!

Hillary supporters, if you are just a democrat, no matter who the nominee is, then support Obama. If you know the democrat hiarchy planned her sabatage way before the primaries ever started -stay home. If she is not the VP and that's what you want, write in hillary or vote mccain. But you should also realize the VP very seldom gets elected after a 2 term president(only H.Bush lately). And if you want to ensure she will get a chance to run in 2012, then vote McCain, he will not go past one term. So you have choices, just depends on how bad you want something. Hillary supporters will decide this election.

Talk about being chased by the press.

We can't vote for Sen. Obama because he and others gambled this Democratic presidential nomination. Sen. Obama has few options and they are all risky one. On the other hand, Sen. Clinton did not gamble and she has more options now and they are safe ones.
Here we have the world of the masterminds and then the rest of the world. The rest of the world has already made up its own mind and they are just waiting. Waiting for the leaders to make up their mind.
For the Democrats to win, the party should unite around Sen. Clinton, and that was the original scenario if we can remember.

So, dl, you've avoided explaining what makes McCain so appealing as a Hillary supporter and essentially admitted that you're only voting out of spite. Thanks for confirming it for the rest of us.

I hope they had a drink together. Took off their shoes. Ushered out the staff and the legals and turned on some tunes.

I hope they talked about anything OTHER than politics.

They've both earned a chance to step away from all of this, make jokes about the wackos they both saw out on the road all these months.

Yeah. I'm an Obama supporter. But the strain of the campaign is obvious on both of these valiant candidates, and they each need a night or two just...off.

Hillary will be FAR more powerful if the Presumptive Nominee Obama gains the White House. It might not be as vice president...but Hillary Clinton's real long term power now rests partially in the hands of how well Barack Obama does in November.

And in Presidential Politics? Winning is everything.

Just a thought.

Boy... Hillary is looking soo tired now a days.

I'm a independant, but i keep up with politics. I didn't start supporting anyone, i waited to see what they had to say. instead of blindly voting for someone just because they are democrat, republican, black, white, female, war hero. And if i do my homework, maybe my vote will be for the right person for myself and our country. If everyone did that, all americans would be better off because it is a pretty good chance the right person for our country would get elected. Let me give all sides a quick reality check to why things are like they are for the american people. It's not Bush, the war-yes, but our economy and everything else that affects us is not done by a president. Every president we elect, we wonder why things didn't happen that they promised when campaigning or why things go bad. Presidents can ONLY control National Defense and Veto Bad legislation. EVERYTHING ELSE is done, not done, screwed up by the party that has the majority in congress. The last 4 years democrats had both majorities, the 4 before that it was split between democrats and republicans. Nothing would ever get done because they play POLITICS at the expense of the american people. There may be something good for america in legislation, but the other party will diliberately slide some extra things in there knowing there is noway it would ever pass, just so they can say they tried to do something but the other party or the president wouldn't let us. It's all politics at our expense. This is especially bad during a election year, they will sabatage everything to make sure the other party congressman don't get credit or the president. Looking out for themselves at the voters expense. We all know what gas prices have done to our economy, jobs, food, way of life, etc. Everyone wants something done, whether your democrat or republican. they all say the same things about alternative sources, which i agree with if it is done right. But however long it takes to build or develop it, who knows? but here is one that makes all democrat congressman squirm and it pisses me off when i go to the gas pump. There is not one democrat that will let us drill ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE for our own oil in ANWR, Coastal Shelf or on land in U.S. Even with all the alternative sources, we will always need some oil, drilling our own will make us independant from other countries controlling our economy through raising oil prices. We let china and other countries drill off our coast, but we won't. something sounds wrong with that. I've lived in alaska and the drilling there is safe and clean, the pipeline is clean and safe, the carabou migration is not affected, alaska's residents want it, so why should some democratic congressman from some state 5000 miles away say no to the government of that state that knows better then they do. and this goes for all the oil they have found in the dakota's and montana. But we expect saudi arabia to produce more to lower our prices, why should they do that when we won't drill on our own land. Yea we can use natural gas, clean coal, batteryies, hydrogen, etc, but will always need some oil. And back when we wanted a gas tax for a while and Obama and the democrat congress said NO, it will only save 30 dollars. Let me clue you in again, gas maybe save 120 a month, but diesel would save a truck driver over 1200.00 a month. most of them it cost 1200.00 or more to fill up, so besides saving them the cost, it would of saved the pass along cost from companies. so that was just another democrat play on americans because they will not cut taxes on anything, that money is for their home state pork legislation. So presidents, i still have to look a lot harder, they both have flaws and hillary was sabataged two years ago when Dean and Reid along with some others had a interview and said they had their nominee but wasn't going to let his name out so the media or republicans could dig things up. it worked, they didn't dig anything up until he already had enough votes where she could not come back. why do you think they wanted her out right after super tuesday, so she wouldn't point out his flaws. If you really want something good to happen for this country, get rid of the congressman we got, vote them out and get some in that are there for the people and not just to get re-elected. and ask your congressman why we won't drill our own oil, why we won't lift tariffs on import ethanol, why we use sources for ethonal that are in our food chain that will raise the cost of food. IVOTE FOR A NEW CONGRESS .

i will be one of the thousands, hopefully millions of democrats who will either write in Hillary, vote McCain or stay home.

I cant stand looking at Obama or hearing his voice.

NOBAMA! NOBAMA!

Go Obama we got to beat McSame

Senator Obama is a brillant and courageous man.
He will be a great President without the Clintons.
Why would Senator Clinton want to be on the ticket with
someone who is not electable and only has a speech?
She should consider a ticket with a qualified person
like Senator McCain. I do not mean to be disrespectful,
but is she bipolar?

As I read these comments, I still can't believe Clinton supporters are talking about voting for McCain. I want to know, were u for Hillary just because she's a woman? Because if you really know the issues, she and Obama were hardly any different. but McCain is so different on the issues.I bet a lot of people who voted for Bush in '04 because they thought Kerry was a flip flopper, are sorry they voted for him now. So Hillary supporters, instead of being angry, think about what you want for this country. If you really believed in Hillary's plans for the country, then vote for Obama who is not much diffferent! Why in the world would you vote for McCain out of spite? THINK THINK THINK

The bitterness of the HRC crowd amazes me and depresses me at the same time. The message of both HRC and Obama are very similar and in complete contrast to the message of McSame? Yet the obsessively loyal HRC fanatics are willing to vote Republican because there girl didn't get the nomination? I didn't realize Dems were that shallow? All that tells me is that is that the message must not very important. Grow up people... Quit thinking about the sex or the race of the candidate and think about the United States of America and who can end the war in Iraq and repair our economy. Kill the ego's and move on? Surely I'm not alone in my opinion.

Betilu – What makes you think Barack doesn't have extreme loyalty to America? The man grew up here, and is a perfect example of the "American Dream". He obviously has deep affections for this country. If you supported Hillary and her ideals, than you support Barack's ideals as well, since they are identical. Health care? Check. War in Iraq? Check. Economy? Check. Barack Obama ABSOLUTELY reflects the simple american values that we americans possess.

Please, educate yourself before you write these things.

No matter what happens I hope if they can work together then all of Obama and Hillarys supporters can work together! John McCain does not deserve the millions of Domcratic votes that Hillary and Obama worked so hard to get. This election is way to important to ruin it with our own petty diffrences.

Had she played this out politely and civil from the beginning, Obama would definitely be asking her to fill the running-mate position. But alas, she and her supporters have thrown too many kitchen sinks. She still can be honorable and useful if she campaigns hard with Obama and puts her own selfish interests aside. I am quite positive that if she works closely with Barack and supports him 100% the next 5 months, he will give her one of the top level cabinet positions. She could further her career a great deal by being an important part of the Obama administration.

now the boy is happy, the party have given him the toy
the media is happy and proud of their manipulation¡¡¡
good¡¡¡
i hope both take resposabilities
i think we are no supposed to play @ democracy

First,

Let me be one of the few who have taken the time to say congrads to Senator Obama' inspite of all that has gone on for the past 15months or so. He has won and I accept that he will lead the Democratic party in a positive direction.

I must admit that at first my pain was getting the best of me...why didn't Hillary get this opportunity first? She was next in line and had the perfect resume'. I am truly hurt by her loss.

But I refuse to cut off my nose to spite my face.

McShame will only lead my kids and yours into more war, which will cost us more money, which leads to more debt, which leads to more middle class tax burden, and a more bleak future for our children and thusly our country.

I can not see myself being that angry...that I would hurt my country beause of my own wishes to see Hillary in the White House.

Here in part is the reason why.

Not more than a few weeks ago, I had a young man in my office who will replace me at my job in the next few months, he has a degree from a fine college and is a minority. When my boss told me that he would be my replacement...I almost decided to rescind on my retirement. I could see in him someone who hadn't done very much except school, which I did while rasing 3 boys and going through a divorce, while working, for this company, what could he know about what needed to be done. He probably was just a quota that needed to be filled for diversity sake. I had worked my way through school and started at the bottom to get into my office...and here comes this kid fresh out of college when there were in my opinion at least 3 people who were more qualified. 2 who happened to be women.

I talked to the young man to size him up a bit before I made a recommendation to have him work with someone else who had more time to spend with him. But during our conversation I found that his father had worked from me many years before. His father had told him about me before he past and he pulled out a letter of thanks that I had written to his dad thanking him for his service to our company. He had gotten offers to make more money to work at several other companies but felt compelled by his dream to somehow give back to the company that had kept food on his table and clothes on his back and helped pay for his college education. I almost shed a tear...I could not believe how I had let my preconceptions guide my thoughts.

I love Hillary and I know that she wil continue to do great things for our country.

But I also know that I will vote for the person who is willing to do the best for the future of my country.

I can not chose my replacement...(and in this case I'm glad I couldn't)but I can chose to accept what I know is right for the country that I love.

Obama 08'

The primaries are over, lets focus with the issue at hand and stop bickering it's for no ones interest. HRC and BHO issues are more or less the same for JMc, l'll let you decide, by the way does he have some kind of problem with english language, just a thought. Back to my point, for supporters of HRC to say they will not vote for BHO leaves me bewildered and confused, am not gonna pass any judgement for everyone has her/his own reasons. My only question to you is – if you are a democrat and you are voting for another democrat who won fair and square in hotly contested primaries, why change of heart?
True democrats/Americans, let's unite and not make another mistake which most of have lived to regret when politics of fear and lies won. Lets join together as true Americans and say, politics of fear, lies and divisiveness, NEVER AGAIN.
"You are future leaders, they say", but when we want to take over they say we have no experience, common phase hah! Let's take over and shape our destiny, for this is our time and we shouldn't let it pass by.
THIS IS OUR TIME and THEY know it that's why experience gonna keep coming up because the OLD GUARD are SCARED of what we are about to do and they know the threat is real. Hey no need to be, we studied hard as you advised us and our time has come to take over. The power of young vote is taking charge come November. CAN'T WAIT, CAN YOU?

DEMS UNITED!! No way now!! Millions of US have crossed the line!!!!!

It should be interesting to see what Hillary actually says this weekend. I felt so robbed of closure when she gave her speech Tuesday night. My grandmother, had she lived to see it, would have called Hillary's behavior 'uncouth.' It was also very cruel and insensitive to African Americans who waited generations to see such a day...

And I LOVE what Hillary Rosen of the Huffington Post wrote in her blog the next morning 'I am not a bargaining chip, I am a Democrat!' Truly that says it ALL. Just who does Clinton think she is? Continuing to suggest that she's the stronger candidate, that she's won more votes, etc. And Terry McAuliff introducing her Tuesday night by asking 'Are you ready for the next President of the United States?' Are you kidding me? What planet are these people living on??? Granted they were 3 floors underground, but still! Good Lord! And I don't buy the whole argument that she just needed some time to allow reality to sink in – PALEASE!!! The numbers haven't been there for her since February...

Had she faced reality then she may have spared herself Snipergate and Assasinationgate and actually HAD the opportunity to run again...

Now she's given the appearance of bullying Obama into asking her to be his VP and has thereby pretty much annihilated any chances of that actually happening... At least I hope...

After all, were Obama to ask her now it would make him appear very WEAK - if he can get bullied by Hillary Clinton than there's no way folks would want him sitting down with Castro, Chavez, or Ahmadinejad... And he definitely needs to recognize that!

No Clinton! Not as President, NOT as VP – Not now, NOT EVER!

Obama-Bloomberg or Obama-Hagel seem very attractive tickets

Can't vote for a ticket without Clinton. This better have been a meeting of that kind of productivity.

I'd say this: If you've checked your bank account and you've got tons o'cash, your mortgage interest rates are below 6%, and your kids' college an braces are already paid for – THEN VOTE FOR McCAIN.

If you want this country to move back to common sense, new jobs here in the USA, a grassroots approach to government, strength abroad and global respect by our allies as well as enemies, then VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I guaran-damn-tee you folks that the OBAMA team will have a deep roster of the best and the brightest. Put Hillary on the Supreme Court and Edwards as Attorney General for starters.

I was listening to NPR and other new channels last night. It hit me how proud I was of the people who came togehter to vote for both these candidates. Whoever thought that the day would come this soon, that a woman and African American man would be top contenders for the Presidential Democratic Nominee? It made me have faith that things in the U.S. can change for the better and that if we work together, we can take back the White House and make a real difference. We should get past the partisanship within our Party and unite to change the world we live in. I admit, I was angry that people just didn't see how great Obama was and is, but I failed to realize that all of you who support Hillary, believed in her just as much. We all need to get past this anger and work for a better future. One that brings home our sons and daughters from an unjust war. Rebuilding the economy, and making the world a cleaner and healthier place for our children.

Well said Denise!!! Ive supported Obama from the get go, but Hillary deserves a lot of respect. They both have brought so much hope for this Country. Because of their run, my daughter (African American), knows that she can achieve anything. Thank you Hillary!! Thank you Obama!!!

I will be happy for Hillary if Obama wins. But I will be estatic if McCain pulls it off. Nothing changes the fact that Obama is the most hypocritical candidate in American politics. Country first, party second.

Don't pay her debt, period!

Never, just became a republican. As long as that as is there forget it Hillary, by dems forever

You people who say you are Hillary supporters and continue this hate-mongering need to stop. You are acting like children who didn't get their way on the play ground.
If you say you can't vote Obama because of HIS vile supporters-read some of these blogs that have been posted just today.
In the last 15 months I've been called almost everything (that is disrespectful).
You want respect? You want to be treated like your voice counts? Perhaps if YOU start doing that yourselves people can meet you half way.
The time is too important not to realize that!
GET OVER YOURSELVES AND THINK ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!

I don't understand some people how they can be so against Obama if they are Hillary supporters. They are so much alike on the issues. Remember what is at stake when you cast your ballots, the lives of thousands of troops(their blood will be on your hands), no universal heatlhcare, no education reform, reversal of roe v. wade, no foreclosure help, tax-breaks for the wealthy(when at first McCain said they offend his conscience, and McCain flip-flopping on every position none to man. I think when people see them face to face, they will realize who's better. Shoot, Even Republicans don't want McCain. Why would dems vote for him? If you hate Obama so bad(I don't know what he did that was so bad) There is Bob Barr the libertarian. At least he's against the war. McCain have only a P.O.W. status, nothing else. He left his disabled wife for a beer heiress.(Those are some great American values right there.)end sarcasm....

Hillary we can not vote for this man no matter how much you try to convince us. We would rather have a man who has the experience to run a our country till you can run again. I will not give this man a dime of money nor my vote in november.

How can women vote for McCain when he has been against a womens right to choose for 30 years. Would you really go against everything you believe because you think the Clintons were owed this nomination. Do you really believe she and her husband have done nothing wrong? There were mistakes on both sides. Please do not give the republicans this election.

DL-

If you vote for Senator McCain, Who is vastly different than Clinton, then your are NOT using your brain like you say you are. You are simply acting out of what is called 'rational ignorance'; there was one issue that you didn't like so you are going to vote for someone else (thats the rational part). The ignorant part is that this issue is your candidate did not win the democratic nod, so you vote for a person that holds very little of your favorite candidate's values. Ignorant

LET ME BE CLEAR THAT YOU AND ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHOICES YOU MAKE. NOT THE DNC. NOT OBAMA. NOT ANYBODY BUT YOU.

With that said. Its people like you that the Country can blame for if he doesn't win and your bitterness does nobody any good.

God Bless Hillary and Obama. May we unite and get this thing done in November!!!!!

UNITED WE STAND '08

I think this is how the conversation went:

O: Hey Hillary...how is it going? Hope you are not mad at me or anything?
H: I won popular votes!
O: No...not really. But those things are behind us now, right?
H: Shame on you Barack Obama!
O: WTF....what did I do? I played by the rules.
H: What rules? I made those rules when you were still in your diapers. Remember, I won popular votes!
O: Oh brother!
(Bill walks in)
O: Hello Mr. President!
B: Hillary is the best thing that happened to this country since Woodstock. She won the popular votes, cause people love her. Women love me, and that's why they love her too. You can't play the race card on us and hope that we will forgive and forget.
O: Mr. President, I didn't play the race card. Anyways..those things are behind us now. I won the delegates. Let's talk options here.
H: I WON POPULAR VOTES. YOU ARE GIVING ME OPTIONS?
O: But we have to bring the party together
B & H: F@UK the party!!

(McCain walks in)
M: Hey guys...just wanted to invite you to my party.
O,B,H: What party? How did you even get in here?
M: Oh nothing...just my inauguration party. Thought it would be fun to have you guys too.

How nice of her to grant him an audience. Now, if she'll just let the press get that picture of them together when she congratulates and endorses him – like Richardson, Dodd and Edwards all did. THAT would promote party unity.

John McCain will be the next President.

The DNC messed this up for all of us.

Hillary would have beaten McCain. Obama has pushed us to McCain.

Now THAT'S What we want to hear! Unity must and will come/ For those with the Hillary Supporters for McCain signs- you may want to discuss that with HER!
I wouldn't want to disgrace the candidate I'd worked for by voting republican. And I especially wouldn't vote republican for the sake of our Country!

HILLARY,PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A VP SPOT TO ANYONE!

MCCAIN 08!

HILLARY 12!

You wanted know why I will vote for McCane and not Obama
I do not trust him.Yes he won only becouse the collage students
voted for him a long with the black voters. He can not carry the rest
like me over sixty five he will do nothing for me and he will do
nothing for the country i do not care what any of you say i watch him enough he never say the same thing twice or he changes it
to suite him self. He dose not have the experiance is what we need
and Mc Cane dose. And I trust McCane not him he onley wants to prove something we will be worst off then we are now if he is
elected which he will not. Hillary supporters feal the same way.
You Obama people wants us now you and the media said horrible things about us calling us stupid becouse we do not have a collage education.among other things and Hillary all
you did was call her names do you know how hurtfull that is.
Obama is not perfect altho you may think so . All of his dealing with those people he assocated himself with for twenty years will come
back on him and I belive more things will come out about him and then we will see him for what he is. Obama will never get my vote or any
of the people I know I can not waite for him to lose. Take that and smoke it.

I have supported the Clintons during their term in office. Indeed, I voted for Bill twice and got into many verbal fights with friends who wanted to see him impeached. However, I was very dissapointed in both Bill and Hillary during the primary season.

Initially, Hillary had my vote, but once Obama came onboard, I switch. Her and Bill's antics on the campaign trail did not help. Nevertheless, I still have a fondness for Hillary despite my disappointments. I wish she did not act up on the campaign trail and made it easier for me to endorse the so called dream ticket, but I geneuinely things she means good for this country despite she comes across at times a self-centered. I like her passion for universal health care and really feel that she could have been a great president. I'm torn as to whether she should be Obama's VP. It would be great to see double history made in November. I guess I'll have to see what happens on Saturday to make up my mind.

I think Hillary is a good person. Perhaps she had too much a sense of entitlement. But, I like her fighting spirit, and there is a part of me that would like to see her make history as well as Obama has. She has come a long way from behind Bill's shaddow. I hope Barack and her and work something out whereby they can work together in some capacity as they both truly will make America a better place for all in my opinion.

Dear Clinton supporters.... there are many of us out here who did not originally support Barack Obama. Personally, I would rather have had Bill Richardson as my candidate. But our candidates did not get the votes and withdrew. We may or may not have been enthusiastic about Sen. Clinton's campaign but when our candidate failed to make it to nomination we moved on and found a new candidate to support. Now it is your time to move on and support the democratic party nominee if you believe in the values that Hillary espoused on the campaign trail and don't wish to see a continuation of GOP mistakes and just plain wrongheaded policies in running this great country of ours.

If you tell me you voted for Hillary and are now voting for McCain then my suspicion is your just one of those self-satisfied Limbaugh listeners who is deluded enough to think he can disrupt the nomination process.

And personally , don't think Sen. Clinton should be the VP nominee either. I think Barack needs someone else, preferably with foreign policy experience.

Congrads to Sen Obama and Sen Clinton. We all need to unify are party. I don't care if you are a Clinton supporter or an Obama supporter...let's get together and beat the Republicans in Nov.

Hillary Clinton will do the right thing...i just pray her supporters follow...time heals all rifts and disapointments. I pray that all the female supporters do a reallyyyyyyyy good study of john mcsame voting record and beleifs.....before they make a hasty decison!!

HILLARY AND BARACK KNOW THAT WE MUST WIN IN NOV!!!

thank you hillary...your place in history will be secured....

This is my first post on the CNN political website. I am posting this letter because we have come to the end of one of the most historic primaries in our nation's proud history, and after sitting on the sidelines reading and hearing the attacks between both candidate's supporters, I feel compelled to speak out.
First let me say first, that I have been and always will be a Hillary Clinton supporter. Both my wife and I are in our early 30's and both hold master's degrees. I supported her this entire campaign, and I too am like many Clinton supporters that feel hurt and saddened at this campaign. I was trying to decide what I should do. Vote for Obama, stay home in November, or vote for McCain. As I have read all of the candidate's platorms, I began to weigh my options. so here we go.
I decided that I could NEVER, under any circumstances, vote for McCain. Our country has been through 8 of the worst years in our history, and with the worst president and administration I have ever seen. This guy made Nixon look good. So now that I able to get that out of the way, the much more difficult decision now needed to be decided.
As I said, I have been, am still, and will continue to be a Clinton fan, say what you like about them, and the baggage they cary, but the eight years they ran the show, the economy was strong, we had low gas prices, and the world respected us. She has worked her entire life to try to help people and for that she deserves respect.
I also was upset at different aspects of the campaign actions from BOTH sides, and I am not going to say that one side or the other was totally right or totally wrong, with people on both sides spewing hatred that I was very shocked and saddened to see.
As the campaign came to a close, on Monday, I called my parents, who by the way are staunch Obama supporters, to discuss the end of the campaign and to voice my conerns. They suggested that I check out Obama's website again before making my final decision. On Tuesday, as the numbers became a final reality, I made a call to the Obama campaign headquarters to ask about the candidate. I had a simple request. Prove to me that Obama deserves my vote. The person on the other line, instead of gloating, or being rude, or hanging up, took the time to answer my questions, and to welcome me to this community. I was very impressed by the caliber of employees/volunteers that he has assembled to his campaign. I then got home in time listen to his speech on TV (I live in CA and the speaches were going on during the drive home from work). I was very interested in how he would approach Clinton and her supporters, like myself. His speech was brilliant and inspirational, and any remaining doubts that I might have had were gone by the time he left the stage. I called back to the Obama headquarters and kept a promise I made to my parents the night before. I will take down my Clinton placard off my window and replace it with an Obama placard and will volunteer to help in the general election.
I know that this is long winded, but it has taken me 16 months to get to this point. A few more thoughts.
1. To Clinton supporters-All Obama supporters do not hate you or Senator Clinton. They are not elitists and do not think that we are all ignorant, racist, or senile. Things are said during the heat of a tough election campaign that can be forgiven as we come together
2 To Obama supporters-All Clinton supporters do not hate you or Senator Obama. They are not racists, senile, or ignorant. They have passion for their candidate as you do for yours. Things are said during the heat of a tough election campaign that can be forgiven as we come together.
Just a note... Please give Senator Clinton the benefit of the doubt about the concession speech. Se did receive almost the same amount of votes as Senator Obama. She could have done it last night, but I believe that she wanted some time to contact her supporters and friends first, to hear it from her personally before telling the world. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would expect and demand that Clinton supporters would show the same respect and would be dissapointed if they did not.
NOW is the time to unite. WE ARE DEMOCRATS FIRST! We can not allow 4 more years of what we have now and we need to work together to win in November. Combine the votes of the two candidates during the primary, and McCain does not stand a chance. For those who only will vote if Senator Clinton is the VP, I would like to see that also but I know that Senator Obama will take the time he needs to make the best choice for him. I would also be willing to bet that if she is not the VP, he will find a place for her in his administration.
Sorry for the long rant. I hope that people who read this will see some of the logic that I used to compose this, and will accept me as a supporter of both candidates. More importantly, I am a supporter of the Democratic party.
UNITE THE PARTY NOW! LET'S GET ON WITH IT!
A Democrat first and foremost,
David

Now if THEY can come together, so can their supporters.

Come on, people of America, I know you can !
We, your friends from the old continent, can believe in your leadership again !

Björn

I can't stand this anymore. Will all you Bush Republicans stop posing as Hillary Clinton supporters? There is NO WAY there are more than 10-20,000 Hillary Clinton supporters, nationwide, who have enough self-loathing and lack of intelligence to vote for John "Keating 5" McCain.

Part 2.

Regardless of your political affiliation or candidate preference, you have to admit that Hillary Clinton has suffered escalating misogynistic and personal attacks in the public forum throughout her presidential campaign and in the past. And these attacks have been openly tolerated–and largely propelled–by the media and high-ranking political officials, e.g. Ted Kennedy. The big players of the Democratic Party have slowly and methodically reduced Hillary's lifetime accomplishments down to nothing. And after the sham of a meeting the Dem Rules and Bylaws Cmte. held to settle FL and MI, I wonder how much more bending over Hillary and her supporters will be forced to do for the 'good of the party.' And how many more traditional party values, such as counting every vote, SD's picking the strongest candidate, compassion, etc. will the Dems overlook so they can further screw HRC? I also wonder how many people realize that FL and MI were not granted any favors by being given half of vote for their delegations in Denver, and that 50% is the standard primary calendar violation penalty according to DNC rules. Instead, the initial DNC decision not to seat any of the FL and MI delegates was quite excessive.

continued...

Ern,
Yes, I completely agree with you because I am one of those people. But the damage was not done so much by BO as it was by the Dem insiders, i.e. Ted Kennedy, that have been desperately pushing for an alternative to HRC for at least the last 2 years.

Accept nothing less than unconditional surrender

Hillary can be Secretary of Deceipt (State Department)

Part 2.

And shamefully, the Dems are taking us for granted and assume we are going to once again put our progress and future prospects on the back burner to support the good of the majority. Well, we are the majority–of the world population and of the US electorate–and we have been and continue to be granted the least importance and respect than any minority in these contemporary times.

Al Gore didnt become President and look at how famous he has become (global reputation, nobel peace prize, an environmental advocate).

To all Hillary supporters, she may have the same destiny, WITHOUT being president

Democrats unite

-Ted

It's simple: since Obama supporters and the Dem party think they can win without HRC voters in November, or think that 'we'll come around,' let them win without us. Stay home or vote McCain on election day.

If Clinton is truly loyal to defeating the Republicans, she will reject and denounce the actions of Senator Joe Lieberman, who is using her as a wedge to pilfer votes for John McCain. I haven't seen her do that, and am still a bit puzzled as to who's side she's actually on.

What bothers me is that the Hillary supporters are not really for her there just against O'bama and that's it in a nutshell. Because if you really are a supporter of Hillary's then when she endorses O'bama you would too because you would continue believing what she believes right? But if not then please explain why it isn't racially motivated that you would vote for McCain who's policies are different from Hillary's? HILLARY'S AND O'BAMA'S Polices are more similar than McCain's are!!! For the Hillary supporters that won't back who the DNC and Hillary herself endorses (O'Bama) then you really wasn't a Hillary Supporter at all. And to think your going to write her name in on the ballot in Nov even after see endorses O'bama. What type of nonsense is that?

Part 1

The Obama camp and many leaders within the Democratic party are now laying the groundwork to also exclude Hillary from the VP spot. The democratic party have betrayed this woman, who also happens to be the best qualified Dem candidate of the final two (check her US Senate record), on every level imaginable. And in doing so have betrayed and alienated the millions of her voters/supporters, which happen to be approx. the same number as Obama voters. If women are shunned and marginalized by the Dems, then who do they have left to look to? Women have consistently fallen behind every other demographic or minority group in the area of progress for the entire history of this country and in most of the world! In the US, women were the last to be granted the right to vote, and while doing the same jobs and being more educated on the average, make the least cents on the $ of white men than men belonging to any other minority group (female minorities make the least with Hispanic women being at the bottom) and hold the least number of leadership positions in the private sector and government. And shamefully, the Dems are taking us for granted and assume we are going to once again put our progress and future prospects on the back burner to support the good of the majority. Well, we are the majority–of the world population and of the US electorate–and we have been and continue to be granted the least importance and respect than any minority in these contemporary times.

My hero Senator Clinton,

You have been repudiated by your dearly loved party, so why you still help him? Unbelievable...

Just resign from this party and run as an independent, we will keep supporting you or else we need to turn to John to save our American...

I Hope He Didnt Cave In To Putting Her On The Ticket! I Think That Would Be A Big Mistake And Hurt His Message Of Change!

RE: Betilu.... surely you are NOT a democrat and you don't know what is at stake in this election. I will assume that you made up your excuse NOT to vote for OBAMA not b/c of values perhaps you are just prejudiced and biased... take your vote with ur family to whoever, and wait and see what happens in November.... You sound so IGNORANT... I am Hillary supporter but will vote a DEMOCTRACT...

She that can not be named will lose in 2012 because we will not forget!!

those of you who are going to vote for McCain ,Hillary didnt really want your votes anyway and he dont need it either,you must be those uneducated,middle class white workers that she was talking about anyway who couldnt give her a dime to help keep her from going in the whole with money,I am glad that she and Obama are talking.GO-HILLARY and OBAMA,you both have class that some voters dont have

Obama Supporters – that say negative things about Hillary or her supporters like "she's divisive" or "they'll vote McCain because they're bitter" – shut it! As a fellow Obama supporter, these are NOT uniting words!

They're both intelligent and smart people that go about getting what they want in different ways. That said, they BOTH understand the party is greather than themselves and will work something benificial out for all!

Say positive things and lets get this train moving! ALLLL aboard!!

Sen. Obama PLEASE PLEASE choose your vice President. DO NOT let Sen. Clinton be forced on you. It would be like JFK taking LBJ. YOU make your voice be heard not a dem. party compromise to please the party.

Our next President. BARACK OBAMA

Barack Obama should never, ever consider havinh Hillary Clinton as his running mate and V.P. Hillary Clinton is sly, insincere, greedy and selfish! She only does things to benefit herself and no one else! Hillary Clinton should never be trusted, no matter whatever she says! I'm so glad it was Barack Obama and not her, who received the nomination! Barack will definately be a wonderful President and world leader, but he'll be shooting himself in the foot having Hillary on board. Maybe not... he'll still beat John Insane McCain.

Go Barck Obama!!

You truly are a world-class leader and an America hero!!

Barack Obama will be President for two terms!!

Change We Cn Believe In!!

Barack Obama For President!!

Obama needs Clinton, if she is added it would appease the Dems he alianated. For those who think it will weaken his ticket, that might be a good thing: Obama needs underdog status.

If Hillary is not the VP, then I will write in Hillary or vote for McCain. I've read enough hate filled blogs and posts from Obama supporters towards Hillary and her supporters that are outright wrong. Obama needs Hillary to win in November. Some Obama supporters are smart enough to realize that and now are playing nice towards Hillary supporters. Others are obviously not that smart and think that the Koolaid that fueled their vote for Obama will spill over into the election that counts in November but they are wrong. Remember that Dukakis lost because he was far left. Bush beat both Gore and Kerry when we thought that was impossible. And now you think Obama can win?? Especially without Hillary? Fine.. Let's prove he can't..

Apparently, if women and other Hillary supporters want to be relevant, we have to wield the great power that we possess but tragically seldom use. So, I say stay home or vote for McCain in November. And I am sad to say that I am now an Independent. The Democratic party no longer represents my values, and it has become evident in recent months that they only apply the Democratic ideology in a selective manner. So since Obama and the Dems seem to think they don't need Hill's supporters, or that 'we'll come around by November,' let them win this election without us. Most of all, let this be the last election, primary or general, for years to come where a candidate is picked because of his likability rather than credentials and intelligence.v

Ring, Ring.
Obama: I’m calling to discuss offering you the VP position. The media’s been pushing.
Hillary: Yeah, I heard.
Obama: We both know that you don’t want to be my VP.
Hillary: Definitely not.
Obama: And we both know that I don’t want you to be my VP.
Hillary: But we still have to discuss it.
Obama: Let’s don’t, and say we did.
Hillary: Good idea.
Obama: Bye.
Hillary: Bye.
Click.
Press Release: Obama and Hillary issued a joint statement saying that (policital mumble-jumble) and therefore Hillary did not wish to apply for VP.

There are more than 100 million Americans,don't let "her that must not be named" say that the American People have spoken. GO Sen Obama!!!

Obama/Clinton.......Obama/my dog.....Obama/anyone......just not McCain. He is just another Bush.

Dem's 08.

Let's hope they came up with a sensible plan. This will be a tough election, and an important one as well. The next president will get to either keep things as bad as they are or turn the economy around, stay or successfully end the war, appoint Supreme Court Justices...... the next president has to make sense, has to be the right person for the job.

Hillary supporters: do some soul searching, analyze the financial situation of both your families and the country and leave emotions aside – vote for the person that you think will lead the country in the right direction. Hillary: exit the race, do not just suspend it: suspending it sends a message that you have just quite not given up and are still hoping....... democrats may lose because of all this, think about it and leave your pride aside.

It sure feels like it's going to be an Obama-Clinton campaign against McCain. In the same spirit of Obama and Clinton, us Democrats really should set aside our animosity towards whatever candidate we were against and be willing to join together. A vote for John McCain is a vote for a deregulated firearms industry, a vote for an extended war in more than one country in the middle east, a vote for an increase in how many missiles we have, a vote for upping the tension between the U.S., China, and Russia, a vote for the same health care that has failed us in recent decades, a vote for more corporate tax breaks based on an economic policy which works theoretically but not realistically, and a vote for a party which lead us into Iraq, failed us when a hurricane tore us apart, and lied to us when we asked for the truth. The thought that a Clinton supporter would vote for McCain out of spite seems almost inconceivable when you look at it in the above ways.

Hillary. I am crying as I write this. You have lost your supporters to McCain ans we will not vote for Obama under any circumstance.
The DNC tried to destroy you and as your supporters they told us we didn't matter, we were stupid, bitter, and clung to God and Religion.

There is nothing you can say to get us to vote for Obama.

This is the 18 million against the party going McCain. You tried to warn them and they wouldn't listen.

McCain will win in a landslide because of us. Don't accept a losing ticket and just wait 4 years.

I just want peace between them both. The Republicans want us the HRC supporters/BO supporters to fight amongst each other. That's the Republicans plan....they want us to fall apart. We Dems can't fall for this trick any longer we must unite. we can do it .

I apologizes for any insults that I blogg about HRC supporters. I feel much better that I got this out. We are fighting for the same policies BO and HRC want. I don't want McCain/Bush policies for another 4 years. Please let us work together.

UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. LET'S GO DEMS, WE'LL TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALL.

It is a good thing that they are meeting but if he decides to put her on the ticket that would be a total mistake , he would loose all his credibility, remember he run on that idea of "change".
If he chooses her , than he has deal with that other 300lb donkey(the ex President) as well.

No one made a fuss when John Edwards "suspended" his campaign which meant that yes, he would keep his delegates. Why? To ensure a spot on the podium in Denver when he turns over those delegates to the nominee.

So, those who fear this development should rest assured that this is a normal event in the nomination process. It's just after typical act in the theater of US politics. Don't worry, be happy.

Obama will be the next POTUS. Prepare to party in Denver!

I hope Mr Obama is not a phony. I am still having a time of finding confidence in his ability to really do anything differently in Washington. I still feel he is not quite up to that job, as I don't think his past works were sufficient enough to handle this possible job. I have a great admiration for John McCain as I sense he would never allow our beautiful country to ever be attacked again. I fear Mr Obama lacks a spine. I have heard his wife speak and have seen how they interact and his off the cuff comments about her , and she seems to wear the pants. Michelle's opinions are too weird for the average American citizen to relate to and I think she is going to embarrass him again. I think he is a gentleman but Michelle lacks a lot of polish and etiquette. I have read some of her thesis that was on line and she seems to have a persecution complex and also a bit of an inferiority complex. It has been said that she "hates" the Clinton's and if it is true I would like to know why? What have they done to her to cause her to hate them? A hateful First Lady we do not need in our White House giving hateful pillow talk to our President.

Kudos to Barack and Hillary for their show of unity, and for caring about all their supporters......And thanks for the "never a dull moment "quality, that was this past primary/caucus season. let us now work together to get Barack Obama into the White House in Nov.

We hope that Sen. Clinton Will never accept any offer from Barack Obama. Her supportets will never accept Obama and their is already some groups start canvassing democrats to support MacCain. Mac Cain will win landslide in this election.

My suggestion: Secretary of State for Hillary, let her work the international front where she can exert her considerable powers of persuasion. Ambassador to UN for Bill, keep him busy and mostly out of the country. I would love to see both McCain and Obama put forward their cabinent choices before the election so we can vote on the whole team.

BOTH are GREAT !!!
VP Hillary 08

That's good they meet. Let's hope Clinton does helself a favour and doesn't complicate matters by firmly negotiating the VP ticket position when Americans and DNC don't feel it. Please, Clinton, retire gracefully and in peace; but no VP post for you. Go Obama 08!

Even Hillary Clinton will endorse Barack Obama her supporters won't be rallying behind him, they are determined to put her name in ballot or John MacCain. People won't care much of the election anymore due to the damage caused by Barack Obama.

It does not matter at all, whether bho selects HRC as Veep or not, as a HILLARY, I cannot cast my vote for bho. He does not reflect the American values that have been instilled in me – running around with radical people and not honoring the simple things that mean alot to many Americans. bho and the media want HRC to grovel. Sorry NOT necessary. We, my family, close friends and church goers, are already preparing to vote for John McCain. It goes deeper than just being exasperated at the dems process of voting, it is a matter of deep convictions about loyalty to America.

A courtesy notice that he's not picking her in a million years as his vp? *fingers crossed*

Whatever was said at Mrs. Clinton's home between Mr Obama and herself will most likely result in a great plan to go forward in supporting him . Mrs. Clinton is a genuine Lady with much dignity and respect and will always make the best decision(s) with as much information as she can obtain before hand on any subject or matter. I for one hope she will gracefully decline an offer of the VP position on the ticket for November as she will have no real voice or a vote on anything. She is needed in the Senate and the Democratic party can't lose the majority there either. Mrs Clinton is a great woman who deserves respect and a huge "Thank You!" from the people of this country. She will be remembered as a fantastic person who's fighting spirit revived our party's tenacity to get up and tell the world we can do anything we want to, including nominate a person of color to represent us.

I know Sen. Clinton will do the right thing for the party she so dearly has loved for so many years! She has fought for civil rights, children, woman and health reform since the sixties it's her life's blood. I hope her many supporters do not let her down and rally behind the nominee she endorses which is Obama! Let the Democrats win in the fall and be proud of our country again!
E.J. A proud Democrat

I am an Obama supporter, and I think it's time for reconciliation. But, I don't understand all the theatrics employed by Hillary. I'm not even criticizing her! She's a smart lady, and I'm sure there's a reason. To any intelligent readers out there, what's her strategy... and I don't want to hear any excuses such as "you can't just stop a campaign as massive as hers." She does have a massive campaign, but it would have been even easier to end it if she just handed the race to Obama Tuesday. So what's your take?

I'm glad that they are talking. I started as a Hillary supporter, then I moved to Barack. I personally switched because as an African American man, I found Clinton to be very divisive, and playing on race. Even though this is politics, I felt she was also not playing a fair game.

However, although I have reservations, and I do believe Obama can win the White House without Hillary, I think that the two of them will do something special for this country that has not been done in a long time.

I really hope people can take something great away from this historic race between Obama and Clinton, and Barck’s nomination. This is a victory for democracy that proves that our country provides possibilities for all people. If we could only merge our forces, we could create a true change in this country. Take Clintons knowledge of where we've been, and Obama's leadership to where we are going. Wow!!!

However, I am really concerned about the divisions in this country. I pray for the USA. I ask God to heal the wounds caused by racism, sexism, and cultural differences. God, please to the hearts of man and turn them towards you for true guidance. Please God remove hatred from the hearts, and bring us together as one people under You.

God Bless America!

Obama/Clinton '08

I wonder if she responded to the ongoing gracious attitude of Obama by apologizing for her vitriolic personal attacks on him.

What could the DNC and Obama possibly give to Hillary that would ever make up for the swift boating they did to her, and to make up for the disrespect to her and to us, her supporters?

Even to this day, Obama supporters are still calling us morons & all kinds of demeaning stuff!

WHY would be even want to join them? For party unity? The Democratic party can stuff it where the sun don't shine, as far as I am concerned. And they can keep their rude and insensitive supporters with them.

I, for one, am happy that both candidates have the respect and civility to meet on such personal terms. We as a people need more leadership of the kind displayed by Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton.

Obama and the DNC do not deserve her...
Sen Clinton has treated with so much disrespect by the Party
and the Obama team...
She will work for him and God bless her.. Because she loves
this country and doing the best she can for the people.
I will always support Sen Clinton because of her smarts and
dedication...However having said that I will choose the candidate
I want to vote for.. This is not Sen. Clintons decision to make for me.
I will do my homework "because I have a brain in my head"
Howard Dean and the party elders will not bully me.

The Party will blame Sen Clinton
And let make this very clear..
I will vote for Sen. McCain.
The Dem Party is responsible for this choice. I repeat not Sen Clinton. Lets be very clear about this.
The disrespect that has been allowed to be shown for Sen. Clinton
and may I add her 18 million voters..

And to make Sen Clinton and her supporters feel as if we
have done a great wrong...
As if we do not have a voice...
As for Tuesday night why in the world should we feel bad about
Sen. Clinton speaking to her base.
Obama could have picked Weds to have all his Supers come out
to cinch the win for him..

Excuse me how typically rude of him and the Party Elders..

How stupid is this country that it would nominate someone based on historic milestone, skin color and chants of change? What does this have to do with experience, guts and leadership? Absolutely nothing. So, come November, I will be writing-in Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot and I hope the other 18 million Americans who rejected Obama as their choice will do likewise.

The Clinton supporters are asking Clinton to suspend her campaign, and keep her delegates to vote for her at the convention. This way the First Viable Woman that made this the closest race in Democratic History will at least crack the glass ceiling that Obama broke.

It doesn't matter what Senator Clinton says on Saturday, I read the blogs on her site and all her supporters are saying they are going to vote for McCain.

Senator Clinton has done so much damage to Senator Obama that if he loses in November, you can thank the Clintons for that.

I am tired of her supporters saying that Senator Obama 'stole' the nomination, or the DNC & Superdelegates 'stole' the nomination. Get over it, she LOST the nomination. He got over 18 million votes too!!

Should someone write Hillary's Saturdays Unity – Suspend Campaign speech for her or at least proof read it for so that she does not screw this speech up again!

We don't need to hear, "I... I..., I..., Me..., Me..., Me..., I got the most votes..., write and tell me what you want me to do... " speech again!

I'm glad that they are talking. I started as a Hillary supporter, then I moved to Barack. I swithced because, as an African American man, I found Clinton to be very divisive, and playing on race. She was also not playing a fair game.

However, although I have reservations , and I do believe Obama can win the White House without Hillary, I think that the two of them will do something special for this country that has not been done in a long time.

I am really concerned about the divisions in this country. I pray for the USA. I ask God to heal the wounds caused by racism, sexism, and cultural differences. God, please to the herats of man and turn them towards you for true guidance. Please God remove hatred from the hearts, and bring us together as one people under You.

Blessings to you dear God!

Obama/Clinton '08

Let us hope that after this meeting and after Clinton’s speech on Saturday, we can put this divisive, vitriolic, unproductive rhetoric between the supporters of each camp behind us. We as Democrats need to come together we cannot afford John McCain. We cannot afford a man who wants to push Russia and China out of the G8 Conference, which only serves to alienate the U.S. more than it already is and possibly put us into another cold war with Russia, as well as China. We cannot afford a man who has no interest in universal health care, who has no interest in all of us who work and live paycheck to paycheck. We cannot afford a man who is willing to risk it all to promote democracy and is willing to alienate the U.S. by dealing with countries who only fit his model of democracy. We cannot afford John McCain, we cannot afford to make the world hate us more than it does now, we cannot afford four more years of Bush foreign policy. We are voting for our future, we are voting for how the world will see us, either as unilateral and divisive or open to the world and willing to work for peace.

HOPE THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER and KICK MCCAIN's ASS !!!!

MCCAIN is INSANE !!! No Joke !!! He's gonna be even worse then BUSH !!!

OBAMA / CLINTON in 2008 !!! *if they can work good together for the interests of the people in this country and the world. The world needs as much help as it can possibly get right now !!! Just find something to keep Bill Clinton happy !!!

Its good to see some constructive dialogue happening.

For Hillary supporters using experience as reason to vote for McCain. John F Kennedy was said to be inexperienced. Also in debates you will see that Obama is more ready to be President. I truly think we will see President Obama for the simple reason that he has the wind behind his back and has had blooding in nomination fight against Hillary. All I have seen of McCain convinces me he is too tied to the GOP big oil big business and right wing consitituency. That will cost him the race.

In an effort to get into the White House by any means neccesary, Hillary tries another drastic approuch and she seduced Obama with her "womanly wow's", to get in the VP spot. But little does Obama and Hillary know, Bill is in the closet video taping everything in order to stage his own comeback to the White House after exposing the "meeting" for what it realy was.
***and scene***

I hope she really is as open to unity as she pretends to be what with her concession speech and all. i don't know i'm more of an actions speak louder than words kind of gal. we'll see.

I hope he realizes that without her he's sewered.

Clinton supporters, please don't betray your issues and candidate. Think. If you vote against the Democratic nominee now, do you really think we'd all come back and happily vote for her in 2012 after her supporters doomed the much needed change away from Bush and McCain?

It isn't as simple as McCain and then Clinton in 2012. I realize this is hard for you to get, but if Obama loses, Clinton has no chance at running successfully again. Her legacy is tarnished and her brand diminished.

One day you'll realize that so many Obama supporters were ready to vote Clinton over McCain because we wanted the change on the issues, not just to vote in spite.

I compel you to just think before you pull that lever. Obama it not a 'risk' and he's not 'unpatriotic' or 'radical'.

Let's unite and change this country. Make history now, and four or eight years down the road, we'll come back and unite behind Clinton should she run away.

I say let O'bama chose his own VP, stop trying to convince him that he needs her. Everything will work out fine if you are a TRUE DEMOCRAT, and if not then your not who you say you are and you are racist. Seeing what has happened over the last 8 years, you have the nerve to say your voting for McCain because he is experienced? What a joke, you know it's not the experience issue at all, its the fact that O'bama is African American. Be true to yourselves and look in the mirror because you know it's true. And for those who say that only the Black vote got O'bama the nomination then you need to go back and look at the states( he won ) with less than 20 to 30% blacks and see who else voted for him. And the reason they voted for him is because the people WANT CHANGE. Anyone involved with the whitehouse within the last 10-20 years is considered to be part of the OLD POLITICS. If your a Hillary supporter that wants to see some change in the Whitehouse then listen to HILLARY because she said a vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush, not to mention McCain wanting the troops there to 2013? 5 more years? Are you crazy. A vote for McCain makes the following statement true. INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So remember that a vote for McCain is a vote for insanity.

Complete Change = O'bama.

All i want is the Democratic Party to be united so we will win in Nov. for they both are great.

I hope she just suspends her campaign and not release her delegates. He just wants her supporters.

Fantastic!.... Now lets get together, join forces, unify, and kick some republican butt!

DEMOCRATS 08'!
Obama 08'!

I support Hillary Clinton, therefore I will vote Barack Obama in November. Any true Hillary supporter would agree.

I want a Hilliary support to answer this question. I wanted some facts. Why would you vote for McCain. I wanted to talk about some issues like health care, war in Irag, housing market, social securtiy, bush taxes cuts, pro lofe or pro choice. Please can someone tell me how you supported Hilliary but now support McCain. I will post this messeage everyday until I get a real answer. Please just tell the truth.

I truly hope that this will bring the supporters and voters of these two very well respected candidates together in an effort to change the systemic and moral debacles of the past eight years. Let's come together ourselves and stop bashing our democratic party this is truly what the republican party wants to see. As a father of three (one of them my daughter) I am proud of Hillary Clinton and the fact she has been able to open doors of opportunity for her and future generations of women.
The republican party will try to flip-flop and hope that we forget the past eight years of a failed and miserable administration. I truly respect John McCain for ALL he has given to this country, but I CAN"T AFFORD to have another republican in office.

Congrats to Sentor Clinton and Sentor Obama and good luck.. God loves you and so do I !!!!

GO OBAMA! Thanks for staying positive!!! If you are a Hillary Clinton supporter or Barack Obama supporter. Stop the BARBS. We need each other! Let's unite for November!

Thanks Hillary. You're beginning to show some class.

What is the point of Hill keepingher delegates?!! What does she expect to accomplish by doing so?

If she says she is going to help to unite the party then JUST DO IT!!

DEMS UNITED!!

Mr. Obama continues to show Presidential grace to Mrs. Clinton by extending the olive branch.

His willingness to meet at her home ... to make the effort to visit her instead of having her come to him for this 1st visit ... displays his understanding of the human psyche.

He will be a strong and compassionate leader

Yahoo news is running the headline of Obama being open to helping pay off her debt.

Please, please Obama. Do not do that!!

She got her ownself into debt she can get herself out of it.
