I have to agree...Hell, all this talk about Obama not having the experience....We need to ask ourself...What has experience got us the last 8 years? Definition of insane...To do the things over and over again and expect different results...how's that one for you ANGRY WHITE WOMAN? I think there is a deeper reason for your hastily defection...Hmmm. You tell me and please try not to "Mispeak"

If you're a true Democrat and beleive in the Democratic platform then voting for McCain doesn't help in any way. All it shows is that Democrats are divided and bickering. Go ahead, be a soar loser, vote for McCain – the Republican – and throw away women's rights. That's not what Hillary stands for and not what she would want.

Democrats stand united and we WILL take back this country we love so much from a third term of Geroge W. Bush.

Yes, we will. Obama for President!

I AM GLAD THAT THE 2 OF THEM WERE ABLE TO TALK AND HOPEFULLY COME TO SOME POSITIVE AGREEMENT.
I REALLY HOPE ALL THOSE STAUNCH HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL VOTE DEMOCRATIC NO MATTER WHO THE VP IS. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBLE OVER TURNING OF ROE V WADE
OUR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS THE FUTURE OF OUR CHILDREN AND THIS WAR IN IRAQ. THESE ISSUES ARE SO BIG THAT IT WOULD BE DEVASTAING TO US AS A NATION TO VOTE MCCAIN OUT OF CHILDISH SPITE. PLEASE PLEASE DON' T SEND US DOWN THIS PATH. THESE JUDGES HE WILL PUT IN PLACE WILL BE THERE FOR LIFE SO ONCE MANY OF US ARE DEAD AND GONE ARE CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE STUCK FIGHTNG AGAINST THEM.
PLEASE THINK AND TRY NOT TO BE SO REACTIONARY.

""So bill wasn't there…..i wonder if he refused or she didn't want him there?"" Why would Bill be at Dianne Feinstein's house? His presence would only further demonstrate that Hillary's political career was only made possible by Bill's political career. Which is of course true, but why demonstrate it?

Way to go Hillary and Barack! Now, all of us who have supported Hillary or Barack need to follow their example – get it on the table and then move on to support the Democratic nominee into the White House.

PS – Anyone who was a Hillary supporter and says that they will support McCain you need to take a second look... If your candidate can move on and support Obama I would think that you could too. By supporting McCain you are supporting the war continuing, you are supporting the economic policies that have this country going down hill fast and you are supporting to continue the policies of the current Administration. I know that you really don't want that for yourself, your children, your grandchildren, your country.

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'm an Obama supporter, and gardless of the last few months, Obama/Clinton seems to be the best option for democrats in general.

so please fellow supporters, just like you want her supporters to embrace our nominee, think open-mindedly of senator Clinton being VP, and you all know so well, its for our own good.

PLEASE UNITE!

I have voted republican for over 30 years, but I am looking forward to voting for Barack Obama. He sounds like just the person this country needs. The few delusional Hillary Supporters, that say they would vote for McCain instead of Obama, always sound like they are speaking for the entire 18 million Hillary Voters. They don't seem to realize that they are in the minority. The majority of Hillary supporters would prefer her but will become loyal Obama supporters soon. I have noticed, that on all these blogs, it is usually the same few hate filled people that respond over & over again with their delusional comments. Wake Up People, Let's get this country moving in the right direction.

Democrats will unite! And we will begin to work together, because frankly with the mess the Republicans have gotten us into, if we can't pull it together to work together, we don't deserve to win. I mean please–an endless war, our $ devalued, our production base decimated and jobs exported, millions without healthcare, politics being pushed into the Supreme Court with right-wing judges, need I go on? Frankly, I was an Edwards supporter. Ya think I didn't have to face disappointment when he pulled out? But I put on my big boy pants and decided to support whichever Democrat won the primary. Hillary would have gotten 100% of my support had she won. Barack will now get 100% of my support.

I LOVE THE DEDICATION AND CONCERN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. I AM VERY HAPPY THE OBAMA AND CLINTON HAVE TAKEN THESE STEPS TO UNITE OUR PARTY.

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE BITTER BECAUSE THINGS DIDN'T GO YOUR WAY, NEED TO GET OVER IT. GO, VOTE FOR MCCAIN. IF YOU ARE THAT CHILDISH AND INSECURE THEN OBAMA DOES NOT NEED YOUR VOTE AND HE WILL MAKE IT WITHOUT YOU. NOTHING LOST. EVERYTHING GAINED. STOP YOUR WHINNING AND JUST GO.

I love the part where she served them water. That was really exciting to read about. What juicy details! Both candidates are garbage. They will give the government more control and people less power over their own lives. And will spend more of our money to do it. McCain is also an idiot. It is a lose-lose situation for the next 4 years.

Hillary may have lost the nomination, but she still has a lot of power in the Democractic Party, and she has connections all over the country. Obama may not ask her to be VP (he's have to put up with Bill) but he's not a stupid man. She will be on his team. You watch. He will offer her an extremely high Cabinet post, such as Secretary of State (which is more powerful than VP anyway) and she will take it. The two of them, will form a formidable team that will scare the hell out of the Republicans and turn McCain's hair white....oh...wait...well, too late on that one...but you get the idea. Hillary should not be VP. That's a slot for people like Dan "Potatoe" Quayle". Hillary can do a lot more, and have a lot more power if she's the Secretary of State, or the Secretary of Health. Put Edwards in as Attorney General, and put Bill on a plane as a permanent good will ambasador, and you've got the beginnings of a really good team. Give the VP slot to some political lackey that did a good job for the party (like they always do).

Who cares why they met. Definitely a losing combination. You DemocRATic clowns need to understand that Barack Obama cannot win the presidency because he will not carry a single state in the south against McCain. I don't care what the pundits say. The south is still very much divided along racial lines and that is the way it is going to stay. A black man aligned with a much loathed Hillary Clinton creates a losing ticket for the DemocRATs. It is so funny watching you DemocRATs fumble all of yourselves. The irony of this whole situation is that when you guys lose this election it is just going to solidifiy the national mentality that a "black man" or a woman is not prepared or qualified to lead this nation, thereby setting back the possibility of attaining this goal anytime in the near future. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

If Obama and Hillary can meet and come together, the voters in their parties should be able to do the same. After all the infighting is over, everybody has to realize what the bigger picture is... making sure those who support Bush policies aren't allowed to continue enforcing them. The Dems infighting needs to be over. We need to shake hands and all get on the same page, because we are family. If we don't, 2 years from now, we'll think what's going on now in this country was "the good ol days. We need to shut down the lies, the rhetoric, the sexism, racism, and all the other ism's that are dividing up the Dem. Party. With all the voters that both Obama and Hillary can bring to the table, we should win in November. But the question is to Hillary supporters, how bad do you want it? Protest votes, and no votes equal at least 4 more years of suffering. I personally don't want to suffer another 4 years, so I'm putting my money with the "presumptive nominee"

People are saying that Obama needs Hillary to win in November.

HOW SO?

He won the Democratic Presidential Nominee so he can win in November without her. Many Many people who were Clinton supports will vote for Obama. Not all of her supporters think only of themselves but for the democratic party.

I am getting extremely sick and tired of bitter, divisive HRC supporters constantly making "voting threats" against Obama. I absolutely don't feel Obama should bow and kiss the butts of HRC supporters to get their votes! After his nomination, if bitter HRC supporters refuse to support Obama ONLY because it's "a woman's turn", or because he bested the Clintons politically at their own game, or because his campaign followed the rules laid down and still won or because he's an African American, then DON'T VOTE FOR HIM! If Obama loses to McCain, then he loses! But this is HIS election to lose, and no one else's. He should pick his own VP and the HRC supporters should suck it up and stop sniveling! Obama is his own man, will pick his own VP and will develop his own platform and agendas. Let him lose during the GE if bitter HRC people don't support him. But Obama should NEVER kowtow to HRC supporters who threaten not to support him out of racism or bitterness. Either you people accept him, or vote McCain, or stay home and save the gas! Stop posturing and threatening about voting for McCain and JUST DO IT! Vote for McCain! Git er done, then let's ALL suffer the consequences because of the bitter, the ignorant, the selfish and the racist ones! I don't understand what HRC supporters want from Obama. Do you want him to quit the race and hand it over to Clinton to satisfy your selfish lusts for a female president? I watched C-SPAN coverage of the RBC proceedings and was disgusted the way HRC supporters behaved. They behaved liked street thugs...same as the FL Republicans in 2000. As a lifelong Democrat, if the DNC loses the GE because we're still divided, then we DESERVE to lose and only have ourselves to blame!

Please be realistic when you make that statement. The media is not "nice" to anyone. Don't let the way they handled and continue to handle this issue sway you vote for McCain out of anger. That is only going to hurt all of us if we have another 4 yrs of a Bush administration hidden behind the name of John McCain. Hopefully there will not be others that defect like you because of anger or any other issue just because Obama is the Democratic nominee. In reality, Obama and Clinton's platforms were not that different, you should want CHANGE over any thing McCain promises. Please don't make that mistake.

I DO NOT think Edwards would ever want to serve on a ticket with Hillary. As you might have observed during the primaries, Edwards felt much closer to Obama than to Hillary. My sense is that Edwards, Obama, Byden, and most of the others simply DO NOT share the values of the Clintons. These people know the Clintons very well, and none has come out to support her. They will never serve on a ticket with her. I share in their values; thus, I will no longer support any Clinton in my life. The Clintons betrayed my trust and respect before they left office, and have continued to do the same!

Hillary supporters – Last nights meeting was about how to incorporate Hillary voters with Obama's, her role in the new adminstration, and also ....how to get paid for some of the debt she incurred. Hillary is 30 million in debt, at least 10 of that was money Hillary took out of the clinton's bank account. So for all of you who keep insisting that Obama needs Hillary more than she needs him, think again. If she doesn't get VP, she wants to be made whole again. She still owes staffers paychecks, and herself money. Obama may be able to buy her silence....

Initially, I was angry that Hillary lost. I was threatening to vote McCain but if Hillary is willing to work with Obama, I think I am more inclined to vote for Obama, even if she isn't on the ticket. Though if she is, I think it would be pretty powerful. With her on the ticket, its the message of "Change with Experience." McCain's campaign wants more debates because they know they can run circles around him on policy but if they have to debate Hillary on policy, McCain loses. Obama draws the crowds and inspires everyone while Hillary beats down the GOP on policy. Perfect match huh?

To Hillary supporters, if you vote MCain, enjoy suffering the consequences. Obama can run again and will remain in the senate. You will only hurt yourselves. Please trust, that if you all and Hillary cause Barack to lose, we WILL NOT Support Hillary in 2012. Your nastiness can go both ways. Black voters put Bill in office 8 years, see if we help you in 2012 or beyond if you take this from Obama. Why is it people are so hateful toward Obama. The man won fair and square. Women voters, do you actually think McCain has your best interest at heart? Forget about your reproductive rights....

What is wrong with people.
The nature of campaigns is to get your opponent out of the race, and to win.
IF WE ARE HONEST WITH OURSELVES-Some of the attacks from supporters of both have been equally harsh and hateful. The two of them have enough integfrity to work it out & do whats best for the democratic party and the country. Together or on different fronts.
So haters see ya! and keep hating until you get sick, and the rest of us-the majority will work hard to win back the White House.

Whew! Apparently Mike of Raleigh doesn't realize that the that more Obama voters rejected HRC than HRC rejected Obama.
