From

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As Hillary Clinton repeatedly urged thousands of supporters to endorse and "help elect Barack Obama" Saturday, scattered boos and thumbs downs pierced the cheers.

Meantime, from the VIP section, Actor Ted Danson and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer was seen cheering and smiling.

WE HAVE TO STAND TOGATHER HAS ONE BECAUSE SEPARTIZME DON'T GET US ANYWHERE WE ARE ONE AMERICAN ONE PEOPLE STANDING TOGATHER FOR PARTY DEMS.

fredi   June 7th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

To all you boo-people:
You support and trust Hillary's judgment to run the country, but you don't trust her judgment to endorse Obama - what kind of supporters are you?

ree   June 7th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Sen. Clinton gave a great speech. She was much nicer then Obama and his not proud to be American wife would have been.

Wonder if Obama is going to say thank you.

Still won't be voting for him. I looked at all three candidates and he was third. I am making up my own mind. I am not voting for him becuase I am mad or a racist. He has not shown me anything.

If you think the day he takes office, the prices of gas, food, taxes,etc will go down, then I have a bridge I can sell you. It is going to take years for this to happen. I don't think he has the experience to run this country.

Chipster   June 7th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Sen. Clinton could probably have defeated Sen. Obama but not Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Jack Cafferty, etc…

So many accusations have been made that she said things that she never said. So many false or exaggerated accusations have been repeated over and over until people believe them. It's a sad commentary on our age of information. Information is only valuable when it's accurate.

She has worked hard to improve opportunities for those who are too often left behind and I have no doubt that she will continue to do so. We must focus on restoring our nation's reputation, economy, and constitutional protections that make our nation great.

dr elsa de leeuw   June 7th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Is it possible that after listening to sen Clinton's courageous and 'presidential ' concession speech, John King still questions ulterior motives and make unverified inferences. I refrain from commenting about the nastiness etc from Carl Bernstein. Congrats Donna Brazille and paul Begale.

hillary Clinton and her husband have achieved so much. Be proud of their achievements and dedication, America.

It was so close, but congratulations to Mr Obama. Hope Hillary is on the ticket…will serve the Free World well.

Dale   June 7th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Senator Clinton clearly made a 180 degree turn. She has now made this a Black/woman race for the president, not republican /Democrat, shame on you Hillary. How do you now back a person that you once said had no experience to be our president, SHAME ON YOU HILLARY! sad day for the democrates im Affraid.

Don'tScaremewithRoe   June 7th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

I am still voting for MCain. Roe vs. Wade scare is silly. Even if it is abolished, you still will be able to get an abortion at another state, since it will be left to the states. I actually think it may be better because we would stop discussing it, some state want it, some don't. I also don't think they will actually abolish is simply because men would have to be paying child support for kids they wouldn't want to have, so I am pretty sure men would not go for it. I am raging feminist in my early 30's PhD, East Coast latte liberal, but I think that 4 years of McCain are worth another shot for Clinton in 2012. Otherwise we will never have woman as president in our lifetime. I rather have 4 years of McCain, then 8 years of Clinton than, 4 years of Obama, then 8 years of Romney and 8 years of Jeb Bush. The vision of 8 years of Clinton in 2012 will keep me going for another 4 years of McCain and with Democratic Congress, McCain will be harmless anyway.

Democrats for McCain   June 7th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

What is the Obama campaign going to do to reach out to the 18 million Hillary voters the Obama supporters rudely disrepected at the local polling places and on the internet blogs across the United States?

Boo's   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I would have booed too, no way will I vote for Obama. The dream died with Hillary conceding.

Jeffrey Meeks   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Loyaly and support is earned,not just given blindly.Obama and his vicious supporters MUST earn my time,money,and vote.

Hope, the Obama News Network is happy that Hillary is out,but I am sure that you will continue to bash HER every day.

Now, you can proudly wear your Obama buttons

Jeffrey Meeks

Mark from San Diego   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Hillary:

Now that you have uttered the insincere "words" to support Obama please just go away and take Bill with you. You have both done more that your fair share of damage to the Democratic party.

Mark - a lifelong Dem

wilma taubert   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

the Media was so unfair and biased toward Hillary . NOW!!!!!!!!!! they want to embrace her. I just have to say she is the very best woman ever. to be able to stand up for the dems after What they and the Media did to her and Donna Brazil and all the cnn news people are hypocrites. What do we care what their oppions are just give us thr news.

Montana is Obama Country   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Wrong… they came together in the end and that is what is important to winning the whitehouse in 2008.. UNITY…

UNITY will prevail……..

Yes..WE…Can…

ct voter   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

They have so much in common, why are they boo'ing, Obama has been nothing but gracious to her, I don't understand?

Zion   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Lets show some love to Hillary by supporting her party.

Roland   June 7th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

I'll be changing my affiliation Monday from Dem to Independent. I will not support that liar and fake. He is another Reagan all flash and no substance. The Democrats have lost a member and supporter.

tessie   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

It is a bitter pill to swallow…more than democratics are at stake…women of each party and every color had their hopes dashed. Sisterhood knows no color or party. It brings to mind for me…that any man is a better candidate for president than the RIGHT woman.

I hope hilliary gets a supreme court appointment if he does get
the presidency, at least something will be honest with sound judgement. He was bought and paid for…the dems deserve what they get.

David   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Anyone who booed and expressed their disrespect to the Democratic Party, spits in the face of over 4,000 and counting American soldiers that died in vain under Bush and Cheney's war. We need to come together and join Obama to save the soul of America!!

Jay   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

There were Boos coming from our home also!

We will never VOTE for Obama!

I vote for the person, not the party! I vote for the person who I feel is qualified, not the Media chosen Darling.

LAI   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Are you also going to point out the cheers and healing that began during the speech??? Or are you only interested in the "smattering of boos" that rose early in her mention of Obama and dissipated as she went on????

jack   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

I am glad, she would not be good for UAS

Vote Democrats 08!   June 7th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

You know, I would say that I am an unequivocal supporter of Obama, but when I watched Clinton speak this afternoon, I remember why I actually liked her in the beginning of the campaign. She really touched me today and I am proud to call her a fellow Democrat. I just hope her supporters really heard what she was saying and will join with the other half of the Democratic party and unite for November. Too much is at stake to let the Republicans take this election.

Democrats 08!

MY MONEY AND VOTE FOR OBAMA 08   June 7th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

GET OVER IT, OBAMA HATERS. HILLARY IS NOT THE NOMINEE BECAUSE SHE IS NOT TRUST WORTHY. I KNOW HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS LOVE TO HATE, I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE IF YOU ALL START WEARING YOUR WHITE HOODED UNIFORMS. CLINTON'S SUPPORTERS SURE LOVE TO HATE.

Nancy Dollard   June 7th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

Hillary led a great campaign & deserves our utmost respect. I supported Hillary in her bid to become the first woman president & will show support towards Obama as President, especially if we get an Obama/Hillary ticket.

JOYCE   June 7th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

good job hillary

THE BOOS WERE AN INSULT TO HER

if she can move on her voters should back her
GOD BLESS AMERICA

anthon gelormino   June 7th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

candy crawley represents all that is wrong with american tv talking heads when she uses terms like down scale to desribe americans who voted for hillary clinton,is she so upscale? I no longer watch cnn when dew lobs comes on.With this kind of down your nose commentary I may never watch cnn in the future.She needs to make apublic apology for being such a soot.

Obama For President   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

It Doesnt Sound Like She Was Able To Convince Her Supporters To Back Obama! It Makes Me Wonder How Effective She Can Be On The Campaign Trail!

Jan   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

This serves to show that the healing period will be long, maybe very long

Andrew   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Please Please Democrats, we must set aside out differences and work hard to help elect Senator Barack Obama. This election isn't about Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, it's about your interests, your hopes, and your dreams. We can ill-afford to let John McCain win. You cannot demand to put her on the ticket, you cannot make this about one person. Believe me, there are miles between what McCain and Obama stand for. We must rally our party, or we will fail come November. I promise you that Senator Clinton will remain a power-player in the party for a long time to come. And I hope that she runs again sometime in the future. She will have my support 110%. As an Obama supporter I have the utmost respect and admiration for her.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Boos and thumbs down certainly shows Hillary how much they love and support her. I am an Obama supporter and a democrat first, we would have done the same thing had things turned out different. So please don't get angry with Hillary supporters because we are all democrats first and we will be booing John McCain altogether.

Maggie   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

lots of BOO's in the crowd.

me too.

I would have voted for hillary, but now i'll vote for mccain.

i will never support obama.

North Carolina-Supporter-IP   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Hillary's speech was awesome! CNN reporter John, it's apparent you are not supportive with your remarks! Her speech was sincere (not Staged)and one of the most touching even through a difficult heartfelt moment in history. Many need to take a moment and look at the facts! Never in the history have so many voted and Obama certainly would not have the voters had Hillary, not been on the trail pulling the voters out (like never before in history)! So why doesn't CNN give credit where it is due and stop slamming her honorable and sincere remarks on a very difficult day for her. She would have made the Best PRESIDENT and the country NEEDS someone in office that better make quick changes for the best interest of the country. Unless this economy makes a quick turn in a positive direction, with taxes, fuel, for the farmers, truckers and transportation, to deliver our foods,etc. we will not have a future for tomorrow! These are serious issues and we all need to stand together and even though it's not impacting some of the rich today, if it continues without someone strong to make a change we all are going to suffer. I am a STRONG Hillary supporter, however; I will support her wishes and vote for Ohama to see our great country back on track.

Ike   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Thank you for your great endorsement and unfliching support for Barack Obama as next US President. You made my day for being gracious and to ensure with your supporters that Obama is elected president in november 08.

JC   June 7th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

We feel sorry for you seeing you in black every day after Tuesday.
But if you don't stop blaming others for your loss, you will never learn the lesson. Our dream for integrity and honesty still prevail. Don't take the voters for granted.

Alda   June 7th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

why dont my comments about Senator Clinton get posted. I will try again. She has been and will ever be my HERO! She was asked to sacrifice herself for the Democratic Party who let her down and she did just that today.

Patti Hagy   June 7th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Perhaps if the press had not sniped so much at Sen. Clinton but instead reported facts, the outcome would have been different. All the emphasis was on "old women"…..I saw thousands of young ppl at her rallies…..and MEN…..and Young women. Yes, indeed, sexism is alive and well…..but, you all tippy-toed around Obama and the race card that he played…..and you are still ridiculing Sen Clinton….look at the cartoon on your home page…..

Her speech today certainly raised her above of you when it comes to respect, humility, grace, and objective views.

evert   June 7th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

It would be refreshing if Carl Bernstein could be as gracious as Hilliary Clinton was today towards Barack Obama. The speech was well balanced and was I think unequivocally supportive of his candidacy for President. She reminded all Democrats that in forty years we have been basically looking in from the outside, and that this is our best chance to regain the White House and chance the direction of this great nation.

Martha   June 7th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Dignified, gracious, still a champion for the rights of all, Hillary hit a home run.

arun   June 7th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

some clinton supporters will never learn.

Stacy   June 7th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE…… DO YOU REALLY WANT REPUBLICANS FOR 4-8 MORE YEARS BECAUSE YOU ARE UPSET . I'm tired of the tax cuts for the top 1 %…tired of unjustified wars…. tired of veto happy war mongers who have done nothing for our infastructure. How sure are you about your local bridges. things to consider before you make a vote out of anger. You have the power in your vote and you will look at your children and know how you voted affected how they live. Lets think about the future and where we need to go. Mc Bush is NOT the way!!!!

bud in NC   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Boo's? What dummies. Jerks. Thankfully the vast majority approved her endorsement of Barak Obama. My wife and I voted for Clinton but now strongly throw our support to Obama. Come on dummies on both sides, let's put the vitriol and rancor aside, UNITE and elect a Democrat into the White House.Time to get that bunch of criminals out and fix our ailing nation. Suck it up and do what is necessary.
OBAMA 2008-2012

Tony, Miami   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I was nicely surprised of her address and I don't care about some of the crowd boos of thumb down. She probably made a deal with Obama but what important she delivered and she delivered graciously. Both Clinton and Obama already make history so far that the most important fact. Thank you Senator Clinton

ede kidder   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

It was a wonderful speech, well delivered at a difficult time for her. I just wish that it wasn't so self-serving. I have the feeling that the family just cannot bear to leave the spotlight, to relinquish the power that comes with the highest political echelons. I think Sen. Obama has to be very careful to make this his race without offending her supporters, because it seems they clearly want to make it continue to be their race.

Veronica Pennsylvania   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Had she not focused on herself so much and allowing the audience to prolong their cheers and boos. She did little to discourage them.
I guess this was the best she could handle. Ego problems.

Wendy Whitaker   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Us Hillary supporters will NEVER vote for Obama because of the disrespect that she was shown by the media and the unDemocratic Party. We are well organized and will make our voices heard LOUD and clear in November.

Voice of reason   June 7th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I understand the boos. This should have been Clintons ticket. Lets face it. The America we once knew is gone. Lets hope it now takes a better path that it was on before. Every American needs to change not just Washington. I wanted Hillary but it is time to take this country back and give it to the people not corporations. America is sick and we do need to all change. Go Obama.

LC   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Change is hard but we will get there. Those who don't believe have to first believe in themselves and the possibility of what's to come. If you're a true Hillary supporter, the best thing to do is support who she supports and believe that she has your best interest at heart. Voting McCain will not help make a statement here.

Thank you Senator Clinton!!

disappointed   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Look at what are left! One is almost in the coffin and the other one is barely off diapers! It is sad. The media did a good job again, just like 4 years and 8 years ago. Thanks for promoting reverse evolution. Darwin would have to admit that his theory is not universal.

Derek   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Thank God that many of Hillary supporters did not cheer when she was crediting and endorsing Obama.

Thanks Hillary Supporters. Now, you can come and join Senator McCain and live the American dream and ignore Obama's false promises.

Vote for a real American, one that believes in the American flag, who pledges allegiance to it, and who has fought and continues to fight so that it still stands proudly.

One week from today is Flag Day, remember what it stands for, and unlike Obama, wear it proudly.

McCain 2008

Norma Curameng   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Obama better pick her for the Vice President

She still do do enough   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

The speech was ok, but it still was all about her

PLEASE not VP

KizzyMae   June 7th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

As a democrat, I appreciate Hillary finally coming on board. The boos directed towards those asked to now support Barack were unnecessary! Were all those in attendence Democrats. This is much bigger than Hillary or Barack, it's about taking back America. Come on people!

Carl   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

About time!!! I hope her supporters can come around to support Obama. Those that don't are selfish and are acting like children that don't get their way. The primary was conducted fairly and within the rules that were established. The only variance from the rules benefited her!! With or without her on the ticket we need a Democrat in the White House this time.

Norma Curameng   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

My family and I will NOT vote for Obama we will now switch back and vote for Macain

Watermann   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

The best speech and, let me say, performance I have ever seen by Hillary Clinton. Now let`s see how the reality looks like after the words have been spoken.

Dan, TX   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Democratic State Convention.

12000+ attendees here are 100% united. We will vote for Obama.

Mary   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

I've been a liberal Democrat for many years. I've never voted republican in a national election. I am a 110% supporter of Senator Clinton. While I understand that "typically" the choice of a VP running mate is a very deliberative and personal selction for a presidential nominee. But this has not been a "typical" primary season. I will not vote for Senator Obama unless Senator Clinton is on the ticket as VP. I am one of millions throughout the country and one of a multitude of voters in Ohio.

Ohioan   June 7th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

It's going to take some time yet, but this is the first step towards getting better. Hopefully those that were booing were jus releasing some tension, and will be with us in November, for the best interests of themselves and the country. The more telling thing will be how much enthusiasm the Clintons throw into stumping for him. Let's just hope the healing process won't be long and difficult. We honestly need to get rid of Republican rule, and work to fix the economy, healthcare, ending the war, and changing Washington. We are guaranteed none of that will occur under McCain if he were to get in.

donna sherman   June 7th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Did anyone else notice the cold shoulder Bill Clinton got at the Hillary concession speech? He didn't do his usual hug at the beginning and he tried to kiss her at the end and got her turning away. I think there's the usual problem within the Clinton family.

donna sherman, scott city, missouri

Belle   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

PLEASE CNN get that JERK Bernstein OFF your show. He HATES Clinton, and 2nd guesses her every move. She MEANT her concession speech, and Bernstien is a DISGRACE to all Americans.

Sue in MI   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

This was the perfect speech, and should set her up as the prime choice for VP-they would be unbeatable together!

kingsley   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Our world is full of ironies ! " the mouth that speaketh evil will oneday speak the truth " this same woman that spoke about how OBAMA cannot be president, ABOUT HOW SHE IS EXPERIENCED AND MCCAIN is experienced and OBAMA a speech in 2004, has now come full circle. Americans, OBAMA is on a messianic journey to been the president. Please dont try to stand in his way or you will go the way of HILLARY, Failure that is !

Marc   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Hillary's best speech yet!

Being a lifelong democrat (never voting for a Republican), I believe this Hillary could have been the nominee if she would have delivered this kind of speech weeks ago.

I will not being voting this November or may be voting for McCain.

Lisa, AR   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

If HRC supporters don't vote or vote for Mccain, they'll turn their backs on everything she upholds. Women seriously need to look at the issues.
If we don't elect Obama, then we deserve everything we get, or more
importantly, don't get.

A true Democrat

Randy M   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

I would expect nothing less from her supporters!!!!!!!!!!!!

CB   June 7th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

CNN why focus on the few "boos" and not the thousands of "cheers" - always looking for the next controvesy hey?

Turnabout is Fair Play   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Hillary has a lot of work to do with her core constituency of older women who were, no doubt, among those who booed when she told them to support Obama. There are some men who don't want to support him but mostly it was women I saw with the thumbs downs down in her audience. I keep hearing that Obama must woo and bring her voters over but I believe it will take BOTH of them, not just him to let her voters know that McCain is the WORST possible choice to make. Unemployment just increased last week again and things are getting worse. To vote for McCain out of spite and anger is to hurt yourselves more and your children will suffer more because of it. Please don't vote out of emotion, use objective thought when you go to the booth in November.

Obama/Sebelius '08 - A smart combination.

D   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Those scattered boos were from republican insurgents..anyone low or stupid enough to boo at this speech in no way represents a unified party.

lina   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

It was very nice of Senator Clinton to be gracious. Now its time for us hillary supporters to get back behind obama even though we would have loved to see her win. Obama is a far better choice than mccain

scott   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Now that was a speech with substance not just about what is wrong with america and empty wishes for Hope. I think the DNC has done a wrong but all will get blamed on her when he looses in Nov. Good night and Good luck our party will need it in Nov. the true Dems didn,t just vote for nthe first time this year. we have been through this before. looking back if it wasnt for BO not being vented until after super tuesday. I really honestly think he would not have won.

Daphne Democrat All The Way   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter, but what Hillary Clinton did today was very gracious an admirable. For the people that were booing in the audience, I know it takes time to get over your hurt, but we as DEMOCRATS must pull together and stand up against the Republicans. So please let's unite as a party, just take a look at the state the economy is in, the rising gas prices, rising food prices, home foreclosures and last but not least our SOLDIERS fighting this endless war. GOD BLESS ALL OF US.

United Party   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

As an Obama supporter, I thank you Hillary…thank you for your life long public service….thank you for your committment & work on universal health care….thank you for all you've done and will do in the future for your people! Now, let's work together to get a democrat in the white house….

karin   June 7th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I have got to give it to Hillary…….what a outstanding job……..I must say Hillary is a wonderful women ……..and to all her supporters if you love her like you say you do and that you support her in what she believes in and stand for…….I think its in your hand at the polls come Nov to pick Obama …….and if you really feel the way you say you do about this Great Women then I feel you must reach deep down inside yourself like Hillary did today and get behind Obama and Hillary to make America what we know it can be from working together as blacks and whites and all other races,from women to men form young to old….. We the people need to come together and work for both Hillary and Obama to get America back to the way it was RESPECTED by all Nations…..and I believe together with Obama and Hillary ……YES WE CAN……..So America and Hillary supporters if we what to win AMERICA BACK ….We have to stand together and do this thing come Nov together to Win for Obama and Hillary lets make them proud of Us as supporters of both parties and Amercians …….Nov 08 Obama……….I am a true Obama supporter…. but I'm now an Obama and Hillary supporter because I want to make both Obama and Hillary proud of me and I hope both supporters for Obama and Hillary feel the same…….I know you will do the right thing come Nov if you love Hillary and Obama and who ever he pick for is VP come Nov …….Karin

Jenny   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

is expected. we all love her but with time we have no choice but to go with obama or else the economy continues to fall with mccain and we all care what happens.

Jeffreypresley   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

A remarkable woman. See you in 2012.

Cuca Botello   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I now feel I can breath I was worried she was not going to be sincere with her endorsement of Obama. She needs to continue to be sincere with her endorsement, follow through with her commitment and not undermine his work. United we will win in November.

Cindy Simpson   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Todays speech just reinforces we are placing the wrong candidate on the Democratic ticket. Hilliary Clinton exited with grace and dignity and again has demonstrated what a strong woman and strong candidate she would have made against John Mc Cain. As far as I am concerned as a voter….no Hilliary, no vote for Barack. I do not feel Clinton supporters will back Obama without Hilliary on the ticket.

RONNIE   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

BOO BOO BOO BOO BOO BOO BOO Hillary in November!

Tott from NC   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

This was an excellent endorsement speech by Senator Clinton. While I am an avid supporter of Senator Obama, this speech really increased my respect and admiration for Senator Clinton. I believe she should be a part of his Cabinet, however, not as VP. Senator Clinton today you "rocked."

Raymond Duke   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I guessed that would happen. But if you read the blogs an the hatred rained on women for Hillary and the old people by the Obama supporters I think that the democrat presidency is lost this november. The young women for Obama probably haven't gotten out of college yet to face a male dominated world. My wife and daughter has and had to fight like hell just to get were they are and to succeed but both have because of stubborness. These young women will understand their mistake when they face the real world. As far as the Obama supporters making fun of John McCain they forget that it was these old people that made this country what it is today with their blood and sweat. They have died in battle,they have worked and tolled and given this luxury life to these ungrateful youth in Obama's camp. The white blue collar that didn't support Obama were called uneducated racist and american white people listen to racist comments from the Obama supporters and advisors and the Obama family theirselves. Let's don't leave out media outlets like cnn and msnbc that called all her supporters uneducated and racist and led the way in biasing this election for Obama. No their is to much water under the bridge for a lot of people like me and my family to ever support Obama or the democrat party. We will vote republican and that is not a threat but fact. I know all the pundits will say the democrats will come home. I think I can say for a lot of us. It will never will happen. I will be darned if I vote for the democrats after these remarks the DLC, Obam< Obama camp and supporters. At least if I vote republican I am sure my vote will be appreciated and not taken for granted.

Earl   June 7th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I am not voting for Barack Obama.

I love Hillary but just CANNOT get myself to vote for Obama.

Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication Hillary. All of us supporters will always be behind you!

Felicia   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Senator Clinton

I support YOU wholeheartedly! Should your name happen to be the ballot Nov 4th, I will no doubt vote for you. But there is NOTHING you can say that will make me support Obama. I could look in your face and could tell it was painful for you to endorse him! You were made to support him. You didn't believe any of that nonsense you were saying about him!

I am about to make my first donation to John McCain!!

I will NEVER support or vote for Obama!!

My goal, elect McCain so you can run 2012!

The party leaders chose Obama, the voters will chose McCain!

McCain08   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Thank goodness I'm no democrat who has to support the DNC no matter what–even with a lying, manipulative, crazily unqualified nominee.

I'm a proud Independent, and since the democratic delegates decided to elect Obama despite his lack of qualifications and his numerous connections to racist extremists instead of going with the obvious winning choice of Hillary Clinton, I will give my full support to the next best candidate: John McCain.

Good job, CNN: your obsession with Obama and your hatred toward Hillary helped Obama to CRAWL across that finish line. You call that fair and balanced journalism?!

justjoe   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

You guys just don't get it, do you. "….scattered boos and thumbs down pierced the cheers" at Hillary's suspension of her campaign talk this noon. You will notice that they didn't drink the koolaid. Couldn't you once….at least once…say "Hillary Clinton suspended her campaign and formally endorsed Senator Obama for the Presidency, etc. etc. etc.

We couldn't see the thumbs down to which your writer refers, and the scattered boos sounded like a piper cub flying overhead.

Who is writing your stuff……..the same interns Time mag is using now!

Come on, guys…..CHANGE!

HILLARY SUPPORTER / Never Obama   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

I have voted as a Democrat for the last 32 years, this will be my first time voting as a republican..McCain / Powell in 08

sdmackey   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

So much for Unity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moving on   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

So, i hope the ill will between the voters behind both candidates will subside and cooler more logical heads will prevail. This vote is not about one person or cults of personality, it is about the future of our nation and we as a people cannot afford overlook the current state of affairs. I initially was for McCain, but after doing my research found that as a President, he is simply not acceptable. I want a President who will bring hope and diplomacy to the table, not anger management issues and business as usual.

I truly believe we as Americans are at a fork in the road and our decision in November will determine the country we will ultimately leave for our children and grand children.

Dusacre   June 7th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Well done Hillary!
The unity of the party is most important.
We cannot afford McSame.

Debbie   June 7th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

I think Hillary's speech was especially gracious, considering she won the popular vote and Obama's not qualified for the job. I worked very hard for her, and I want to do what's right for Hillary. I'm not sure I'm ready to support Barak Obama; he's not ready for the job. He doesn't deserve the job.

EA   June 7th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

The smatterings could have been reduced had this speech come on the night it should have. Regardless it's time as Sen. Clinton says to unite the party and back Sen. Obama to ensure an Democrat is in the White House come November. No policies can be achieved with McCain in there, so we need to bury the hatchet and move on.

Alda   June 7th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

She is my Hero.

Jim   June 7th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

The best to Ms. Hillary Clinton. Sorry to say I can't help her with throwing in my support for Obama. Not today not come November.

kathy-kentucky   June 7th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Sorry Hillary I am a supporter of yours, but can not support obama
you did not loose, it was given to OBAMA BY THE DNC AND THE
SUPERDELEGETES AND DELEGETES can't not forgive them
for what they have done to this country now they will have to pay
for what they did. They did it all to themselves. i will not vote at
all or will vote for John Mccain, OBAMA does not have the experience
and what it takes, he would be a bad president he would bring
his baggage with him Oprah, and the drug lords and all that
he has been involved with. Can not and will not vote for OBABA.

Adedokun from Atlanta   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Clintons's supporters should realise that this is not the end of her political struggle. She still has a good chance of becoming the president. She would then need Obama's supporters as much as Obama needs hers now. Lets unite.
BEWARE OF DEVISIVE COMMENTS FROM REPUBLICANS!!!!!

DLF   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Hillary mentioned that a Democrat had been president three times in 40 years. Twice her husband. But she failed to mention who the third one was.

And that one was none other than Jimmy Carter! She said how well we would have done if during that time we would have had Democrats for president. But, when Carter was president, the nation did poorly! She didn't mention that!

So during forty years, the Dems had only one good president in Bill Clinton. Only One! Not a very good record! The republicans did not have all good ones either but they must have done something right to have had a president for most of that forty years!

She didn't mention why there were so many Republican presidents and so few Democrats.

Well, the reason is quite obvious! The Dems severely flawed system of choosing a nominee causing inferior candidates to be presented for president. This time they picked the most inferior of them all in Obama!

The Dems talk about every vote counting and yet they have failed to count them all. The voters from Florida and Michigan or only worth hafl a vote to the Dems!

As for her speech, it was the B.S. I had expected. It was what the leadership of the Dems told her to say! If you can call them leadership…

I supported Hillary. I donated to her campaign. But now, I will support and donate to the next president of the United States, John McCain!

Hillary and the Dems are 100% B.S. and that is why they have so few presidents and that is why they will continue to have few (if any) presidents!

I am now an independent voter for McCain!

Go McCain!!!

Michelle   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

IMO Hillary is just doing what she has been told to do by the party "leaders."

I am still voting for McCain.

Obama:
charisma: yes
character: no
credibility: no
credentials: no

Women 2012   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Thank you Senator Clinton for your encourgement,I will follow you in your support for Sentor Obama…..You are a GREAT WOMAN and very inspiring to every WOMAN in America.

tell the truth   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

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.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

She cannot be his V.P. for these reasons and I say this with no disrespect to Hillary supporters. Obama is about change he can’t stand for change if he excepts Hillary as his running mate.

1. She voted for the war, this alone undermines his #1 talking point against McCain. The GOP/McCain will use this against Obama.

2. The rethughlicans want her on the ticket; this is why the Anti-American Fox News Channel keeps pushing her to be on the ticket. Her voting record and Bill Clintons past will continually be a distraction for Obama.

3. Her supporters are pushing this so they can prove Obama is weak and can be push around. They can possibly try to secretly undermine his campaign. Again; McWar and the GOP will say Obama is weak, he forced to accept Hillary on his ticket.

4. Hillary Clinton excepts lobbyist money, this is another issue that Obama’s trying to change his presidential campaign was not built federal PAC’s and lobbyist funds.

Seriously, she thought she had this election in the bag. She believed in her own arrogance and invincibility; she took this election process for granted and did not think Obama was the real deal!

Tom Price   June 7th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

What an elegant delivery of a most difficult speech. Hillary not only had to admit defeat, but also endorse a person she knows has no chance of getting elected without her on the ticket.

I certainly hope most of her supporter’s band together and vote for McCain. I'm a lifelong Democrat, but absolutely will not vote Obama. You think our country is a mess now, I shudder to think what Obama would do to it in four years.

Let's Go McCain

Joint Ticket   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

If it's not an Obama/Clinton ticket I dont see us winning!

Darren   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I suggest, in the strongest of terms, that Obama choice Hillary Clinton as his VP choice. Otherwise, he will alientate me and many other Democrats.

If she is not on the ticket, I will vote for McCain or hope for an independent candidate.

Joe Reed   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I disagree with your headline CNN, there were no smattering of boos for Obama… I heard only thunderous applause…. were you looking at the same video?

Christel in Canada   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

The booing doesn't worry me at all, because they'll eventually come around. Women will realize that McCain is a threat to their right to choose, and that Barack Obama will uphold Roe v. Wade!! McCain has NO PLAN for the US economy, and his constant fear-mongering ought to disgust Americans who should know better after the Bush administration scared them into an illegal war with Iraq!

Barack Obama will be the next President of the United States, and Hillary Clinton is a wonderful person, because she will help the American people realize their hopes and dreams by backing Obama!
As a Canadian, I'll do my best to get the Conservatives out of office in Canada, and I hope that Americans will keep the Repugnants out of the White House!

AD, CA   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I did not find speech that great in terms of uniting party and helping Obama. As usual she ended up focusing everything on herself.

Mike in Calgary   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Will me still have to listen to Lanny Davis's CARPING - he sure helped bring Hillary down. SHe should listen to her heart and not to her campaign advisors - they were a disaster as they siphoned off and squandered $200 Million.

Now where did the $200 Million go?

Mike

Hillary supporter   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

BOOOOOO, for OBAMA…. No way I'm voting for Obama.

Jennifer   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

The speech that Hillary gave was a very good speech. I loved when she said YES WE CAN!!! She has gained a little bit of the respect back that I had lost for her during the primary season.

Venus   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

YES SHE DID!

GREAT SPEECH HILLARY!

YOU OUT DID YOURSELF TODAY! AND, THANK YOU!

LET'S GO AND BEAT MCSAME!

CNN - I just watched Hillary's speech and the crowd! There were only small boos! So please stop with your negative news reports!

Thomas for Hillary   June 7th, 2008 1:45 pm ET

I thought that was boos I heard. Well good speech Hill and I am still for you. Good luck Mr. Obama, you will need it.

Juan Carlos(Vegas)   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Call me crazy if you want, but I still think she will be the nominee

changed mind   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

He was selected not Elected.
Here DNC. Read your rules that Obama did run tv ads in florida and Michigan.Will he be stripped in August of the delegates? What is fair?
The votes don't seem to matter anymore.

The sanctions will be directed at candidates who campaign in any state that refuses to follow a 2008 calendar of primaries and caucuses that was also approved Saturday. Any candidate who campaigns in a state that does not abide by the new calendar will be stripped at the party convention of delegates won in that state.

The party adopted a broad definition of campaigning, barring candidates from giving speeches, attending party events, mailing literature or running television advertisements

Sandra White   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

A beautiful speech. Finally the reporters of CNN have been forced to give a modicum of respect to Hillary Clinton and the issues of the millions of women in America. I am a 66 year old woman and so many times over this past year I have been so saddened by the cool to often hostile coverage of Hillary Clinton by even the female reporters of CNN. Perhaps they are not old enough to remember the unfinished struggles of women.

HillarySkank on myspace   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

That was a great speech Hillary.

Hanging with Hillary   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Okay Hillary….for the good of the country, I'm officially an Obama supporter. I still have tears in my eyes and a heavy heart after losing the chance to vote for Hillary Clinton for president in 2008, but I will support Barak Obama.

The country needs someone other than McCain…and Obama will have my vote in November. Hillary in 2016!

Brandon   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Im upset that CNN is reporting on boos inorder to make a story. There were very few and most of the crowd seen were excited when she spoke of supporting Obama

mother nosey dean   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Where do you stand? What will you do to help SEN.BARACK OBAMA become the next president of the UNITED STATES.
SEN.CLINTON stands with SEN.OBAMA now chants "yes we can"
Some bridges will have to be made but we will UNITE.

Dominic Ramunno-Johnson   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

It is unfortunate that there are those out there who keep themselves from experiencing such an uplifting and inspirational message that was present in Hillary's speech. I was moved to tears by when she was talking about all the struggles of woman and how impressively close this race was between two great competitors that where champions of the same cause.
I believe this article overstates the amount of boos and fails to point out that her repeated urges brought the crowd to a roaring applause when Hillary said everyone needs to work together because thats the American thing to do, and thats why she is gonna work to elect Brack Obama. I really do believe that both Hillary and Brack have become better candidates because of this race going as long as it has. Full disclosure here I am an Obama supporter, however I wanna thank Hillary for jabbing Obama in the ribs for so long. I really do believe this has made both candidates better campaigners.

Sandy R.   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

She SOUNDS as if she is STILL CAMPAIGNING!

max   June 7th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

SUPPORT OBAMA?
Now just what has changed about this phoney Kennedy imposter that would make ANYONE who didn't support him for the past 16 months want to support him now.
He was an inexperienced phoney then and he is an inexperienced phoney now.

John MC   June 7th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

As a republican i have to admit that Hillary is one of the most disliked people on our eyes and normally would hope no democratic Hillary follower would vote Republican since we do not need them. That being said I now hope they do, so that the democratic party fully breaks down.

Independent in TEXAS   June 7th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

No way Hillary I will support OBAMA. I wanted you to be the president, not that elitist guy.

Nancy, Oklahoma   June 7th, 2008 1:43 pm ET

Smatterig of boos?

Really?

I only heard Hillary give a magnificant speech. She did wonderful.

The party will unite. It may take some time, but it will happen.

No Bush third term needed.

Congratulations, to HRC for an outstanding speech. We thank you for all your hard work. With this let unit the Dem orated Party and elected BO as our next President of the United State.

i thought her speech was all about her … again.

Kim Anastasia   June 7th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

I'm a former Hillary supporter and a woman who became an Obama supporter months ago when Hillary's campaign became too divisive we saw aspects of her personality that were none to flattering. Her speech today was fantastic and she showed the strengths I came to admire in her originally. I can only imagine how difficult this moment must have been for her and her family. I'm happy that we can now move forward in support once again of the Hillary we all came to respect early on in the campaign. Hats off to Senator Cllinton! Time to win the White House with Senator Obama!

AMB   June 7th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Bravo, Hillary. You proved you are a woman of heart, graciousness and dignified. As a Democrat I'm proud that you are a strong woman leader and I know you will be instrumental in helping Barack Obama win the white house in November.

I supported Obama through the primary season, and I was at times dismayed by Hill's campaign strategies, but all of that is over now with the speech today. I truly believe that she secured her position in the future of the Democratic party, and indeed, American history.

Obama '08

glhf   June 7th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

Jean Marie Maggi   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I was never a "Clinton" fan in the first place.

Irma Felixr   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Senator Clinton continues to show to everyone the professional intelligent woman that she is. I have no doubt that she will follow through on her promise to endorse Obama, not because she may want to, but because she gave her word. I feel the nomination was taken from her and I blame the media in large part. I have watched my last newscast for the rest of the presidential election. I am no longer interested in what the media has to say. I have made up my mind. For the first time in my life I will vote Repulican. McCain in 08!

Hillary in 2012!!!!

HILLARY SUPPORTER   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER vote for Obama and his fanatics!

Art   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I think it's time for the new chapter of the American politics. I congratulated Hillary and her supporters. To my understanding, whatever that has been said and done was nothing entirely personally destructive but politically competitive. I think that she has earned her respect and should be honored to the highest.

Now that the democratic party has opened the other chapter towards the general election, it's time for party leaders to reunite and entirely focus. John Mccain has been warming up for a good while. It's time to join him on the battleground and get the show moving. With the president's job approval rating so low, multiple cases of corruptions, and Mcclean Scott's book, Mccain already has so many obstacles to deal with from his own court. But democrats should not take any of those for granted. He knows his weaknesses and he is ready to overcome them.

Now, let the show begin!

Brandon   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

It was one of the best Speeches I have heard her give. I felt inspired by her speech today for the first time. I have listened to alot of her speeches before and I just did not feel inspired but today she moved me.

This was key in defeating Mc Cain. I have always wanted scandidate to represent Rural White Americans and African Americans to bridge the Gap. Today was special for me.

ALECO1 -----NOKOMIS,FL   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

CLINTONS SPEECH WAS VERY GOOD BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. SHE SPENT WAY TO MUCH TIME TALKING ABOUT HERSELF AND WOMEN IN POLITICS. THERE ARE MANY THINGS SHE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT, BUT I AM ONLY GOING TO MENTION ONE—-SHE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HER BACKERS WHO HAVE SAID, IF HILLARAY IS NOT THE NOMINEE THEY WILL NOT VOTE OR THEY MAY VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN. IF THAT SHOULD HAPPEN, THEY WOULD BE VOTING AGAINST EVERYTHING SHE STANDS FOR AND WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STANDS FOR. ALSO, THAT WOULD BE A VOTE FOR BUSH'S THIRD TERM.

Terry   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Hilary Clinton's speech was graceful and seemed heart felt. The emphasis was more about supporting Obama becuase we can not afford to stay on the leash of fear we have been led with for 8 years but rather cut it loose and follow a leader we can trust.

The campaing I believe will use this as the main reason for going with change. Fear driven versus Trust driven knowing full well we have little history with Obama to make a judgement any other way.

l mills   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Great speech by Sen. Hillary Clinton - very positive and dignified.
I'm not an American but I would still like to congradulate you for producing such high quality candidates such as Sen Barrack Obama and Sen Hillary Clinton. They would make a formidable force if they were on the same ticket. The world will be a better place once the Democrats are in the White House again. I look forward to it.

No More Clintons, CA   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

The Clintons FAILED CAMPAIGN is like Bush's FAILED POLICIES!

During Clintons campaign, they used negative tactics to entertained voters dark emotions!

For their campaign DEBT, they recklessly ran the negative campaign to a whopping $30 million dollars DEBT, I am sure their solid 17 million supporters could happily chip $2 each to pay her back!

I am an older woman, I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER VOTE ANOTHER CLINTON!

Raindog   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

The boos that were heard there will only increase across the country. Hillary did a masterful job of doing what she needed to do…However, it will only make the demand to put her on the ticket stronger and of course Obama will never do that…he can not afford to have her there at his side as a constant reminder of how inept he really is…. When he announces his running mate the anger wil once again spill over. Hillary really does emasculate Obama. And god forbid he picks Richardson who is seen as the great traitor. Ah well drink the Kool Aid kiddies…when obama loses the adults will once again take over.

Lisa-Fl.   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

I think Hillary would have been a wonderful president.I am so depressed about our choices. My daughters & my 101 year old grandmother were so excited. I think Obama is a fraud.

darren   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

sprinkle of boos
overwhelmingly more cheers!

Ben   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

CNN has has become the new Republican network. I watched the entire endorsement and didn't hear any boos. But so what if there were few boos, I don't see any problem with that. What's your beef with that?

Mr. Educator   June 7th, 2008 1:41 pm ET

It will be a dis-service to Mrs. Clinton if they do not support Obama. There are really no policy differences that are dramatic. If experience is your main factor, just think to yourself if an employer said that you don't have the experience for a job (an increase in pay of 20,000 to account for this failing economy) especially when you know you can be more than effective. Or how about a civilian military job that would increase your pay and then all of a sudden the funding for the job is sent to Iraq. 10 Billion dollars being sent across seas plus money for barrels of oil, how can a country sustain spending that. Those Clinton supporters that won't support Obama for reasons such as experience, race, policy, etc… YOU are not in support of our country and prosperity–YOU are just for your candidate. The Republican business machine is ruining education and anyone who advocates for universal health care for children should be elected. Both Clinton and Obama support these issues. Look deep in your hearts and recognize what you will be saying to Mrs. Clinton, children, and the country if you chose to not vote for Obama or stay at home. What are we really fighting for Obama, Clinton, or the USA?

Bill   June 7th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I am a Hillary supporter… but she does not own my vote. The question should not be whether Hillary can deliver her supporters to Obama… but whether she can deliver Obama to her supporters. The issues of universal health care and experience have not gone away.

Sean   June 7th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

You know…. I really admire Mrs. Clinton. She is a hero and that is to be recognized by all. So to her supporters, let's not vote for the opposition. If we do we are not only traitors to the Party and to Mrs. Clinton, we are traitors to the Country! We can't have unity with a racially devided party. We can't have unity with a gender based divide either. We need to be the change we seek in the world. We need to move forward together so we can heal our wounds and untie. Our hearts hurt. Yes they do. Yet, we must be smart. I know Mr. McCain is not the smart decision. We deserve more for our today and our children's tomorrow.

Mish   June 7th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

leave it to CNN to bring up the boos!!! the usual bias against Senator Obama!
Strange I never heard any and I was listening for them!!

I will say tho Hillary was very gracious in her speech and I was very grateful she endorsed Senaot Obama as enthusiastically as she did
It must have been painful for her
I hope her supporters realize if they really support her they will follow her lead and fight for Senator Obama as she is
If everyone settles down and gives them space she just might get the VP ticket

jmv   June 7th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Way to go Hillary!!! TWENTY -FIVE MINUTES TALKING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS AND five minutes endorsing Obama.
YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE A PIECE OF WORK.

Not so fast were still voting for McCain the DNC will have egg on their face. Remember 34 votes for McCain all we need is about 15%to
get McCain in.

Renate Berlet, Munich, Germany   June 7th, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I admire Hillary Clinton for so bravely endorsing her opponent Obama after her deeply disappointing loss of the chance becoming Americas next President . I admire her for the generous (and clever)speech she gave, hoping that she might walking into a bright political future. God bless her! Lets hope, Obama will be strong (and also generous) enough to make her his Vice-President.

I TRULY HOPES HE GETS THE VP PLACE… SHE'S EARN IT AND THERE'S NOT ON PERSON IN THIS PARTY THAT CAN WORK AS HARD AS SHE WILL… I'LL ONLY VOTE THIS NOVEMBER IF SHE'S ON THAT TICKET IF NOT.. I'LL JUST STAY HOME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS… GO HILLARY AND WE LOVE YOU ….

rik   June 7th, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Its going to be extremely difficult to get behind Obama after supporting Clinton for over a year. Its so clear from her last few speeches that she is so much more qualified and experienced than Obama and McCain. I truly have no idea of how I will cast my vote in November and I hope that the rumor about Michele Obama in a racist rant is just a rumor; at least with Clinton, we know what her baggage is and we have clearly overcome it. I am proud of Obama as a fellow African American, but I am more proud of Clinton for teaching us all one very valuable lesson - Never quit.
I understand the struggles of being an African American man in environments where your not necessarily welcomed, but in the media Obama has had it easy and in a sense been handed the nomination. I hope that we haven't made a mistake.

Hillary Clinton's exit speech was gracious and appropriately supportive of Barack Obama's candidacy. She asked her supporters to now be supportive of him. BARACK SUPPORTERS LISTEN-UP: If you want us to support him, QUIT BASHING HER!!!

WHAT A FANTASTIC SPEECH HILLARY CLINTON…WHY DIDN'T SHE EVER DELIVER A SPEECH SUCH AS THIS ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL…IS IT THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE IN ORDER TO MAKE "THEEE" SPEECH…WE DID NOT HEAR THIS DURING THE CAMPAIGN. HILLARY NEEDS A MORE POWERFUL ROLE THAN A VICE PRESIDENT (A MUTE ROLE).

GREAT SPEACH.
Does not change anything.
People who voted for her many will not vote for Obama.
She can go into PA, WV, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Arkansas, Kentucky.
She will not convince enough of her 18 million to vote for Obama.
Hillary 2012

As a Hillary supporter I will not vote Democrat. I am so disgusted with the way the DNC handled this election. Dean, Kerry and Kennedy directed Obama's win from the start. I am very dislusioned by the who Democrat Process.

I'm a very sad woman today - I admired Hillary Clinton very much - foibles and all. She is an extremely hard worker and very knowledgeable. And I say to Obama supportors, if you want my vote in the fall, quit trashing her. If there is one of you out there that is perfect, you have the right. The rest of you - just quit the name calling.

Why would you post this? I think this is what starts more negativity between our party as we are merging forces to go against McCain. I mean she hasn't even gotten off the stage and you're posting this on people booing. WE WILL UNITE and GET A DEM IN THE WH!!

Hillary Clinton has spoken, and it is now very obvious that the Democratic Party has selected the weaker candidate! This primary has revealed the underbelly of the now very left-wing Democratic Party and the left-wing media. :(

Only Hillary Clinton can bring healing, hope and balance to this skewed party and its extreme left-wing presumptive nominee.

I support Hillary Clinton all the way but Barack Obama lacks the trust, the gravitas and the character to be president of the United States of America.

Could a Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton ticket add some of the missing elements to the flawed Barack Obama?

What was that? Her speech was all over the map!

She ran a hard-fought campaign and deserves some credit. But we heard more about her 18 million votes and women’s rights than about the most pressing news of the day: HIS historic victory, party unity, and her throwing her support to HIS candidacy.

Very disappointing. That was the most egomaniacal speech we could have heard from her. She just doesn’t get it.

WELL……she did say that she endorses and will work hard to get Obama elected as President.

However, I feel that she STILL talked about herself too much. It left an underlying message of how she felt that she still is the better choice for President.

It appeared that she felt that " this is a woman thing" and this is why she lost.
