She didn't win the popular vote. She didn't get as many votes as her rival so she lost. Simple as that.

Lets talk about "stealing." The real theft was perpetrated by the republican administration and here's a short list:

Bush/Cheney stole our right to privacy, our faith, our financial freedom, 2(!) general elections, our military supremacy, an independent judiciary, and on and on and on…. They were not patriots. They were gangsters with flag-pins.

And you're so mad your favorite democrat didn't win that you'll vote for 4 more years? Did they steal your brain???

To all of you complaining because Barack Obama took the day off to play golf…

Today was not his day. It was Hillary's. She had work to do and she did it admirably. She really changed my opinion of her, and if she's not real about helping the party, it'll soon surface. But I think she wants to get everyone over this hump. Rather than all of this hatred being spewed from both sides, we need to embrace the work that needs to be done. We can smooth over the hard feelings, but if everyone starts acting adult, we can get it done. And another thing…

…how do you know there wasn't a TV in the car Barack was riding in? They do have those, you know! And even if he didn't, don't trouble yourself. He's never going to do everything everyone likes anyway because he's human.

Hillary's speach was exactly as expected. I will still switch to MCCAIN 08. No more of this Democrats forcing people to do what they want. The polls may have obama and Mccain in a dead heat BUT, Wait to us Hillary Dems vote for Mccain. Dean can't force us all to meet his DEMANDS!!!
MCCAIN 08

Living Home with golf club does not mean he dit not wach the speech live! This day you can wach TV any way you go on ur laptop if u have internet connect, ok ! Technologie my people!!!!!!!!!! Stop using this to divide the party that just finish to be unite few minutes ago. Anyway Obama wached the speech on the computer CNN just report now!!!!!!!

Just as Hillary dimayed Obama's victory and used it as time to uplift herself and her accomplishments , holding no reguards for his , her speech was suppose to start at 12 it started at 12:30 Obama had already been on hold since Tuesday. He had to wait for a meeting with her, before she conceded and as I said the speech was suppose to start 12. I'm sure Obama had some kind of way of listening to the speech. And I'm sure under the circumstances of this nation we cannot hold actions of Clinton on Tuesday or the actons of Obama today against either one of them. We should look foward to a brighter future ,healthcare for everyone, and a growing economy. They both said some things that has wounded what democrats stand for. lets stop looking at what was said and lets look at what our nation is going through lets think about our families and the issues , lets think about how we can get our country back on track our lives are at stake lets look at the issues and lets not hurt ourselves trying to hurt each other.

stop it CNN!

the only losers this year will be the ones who do not want change and will not listen to reason. we have a failure going on at the core of our nation and we need to fix it maybe we still have a chance

I have lost all sense of loyalty to my party after witnessing the brutal treatment and the savaging of this good woman.

I can not say yes to cheating at caucus, disenfranchised voters and trashing the female for fun.

Bye bye Obama

About his playing golf… Don't you think he had an advance copy of the speech or possibly helped her write it? It may have been part of their discussion. He won the nomination 4 days ago! Is he supposed to put his life on hold until after she's spoken? Give the guy a break. I don't think it's a big deal that he had a T time.

Listen to your chosen leader and don't let sour grapes make this country continue on a horrible path. Also there are many Obama supportors who don't want her on the ticket and your divisive attitude does nothing to help that. I trust my candidate to make the right choice and will support him regardless of who he chooses.

Barack Obama DOES respect Hillary. Or he wouldn't have ditched his press corp and head over to the home of her friend to talk to her. He was going home to the family he misses but went to her instead.

She is a good woman and he is a good man. They are both great leaders that have come together. Let us do the same!

Never Obama. He's done nothing but bash Hillary. He has not earned my vote.

The speech was spectacular and a true nature in leadership all of you will regret turning your back on Hillary. I will vote for McCain

To Easy:

I don't know which campaign you were watching. It was totally different than the one I saw. Some Obama supporters and surrogates were insulting toward Hillary, and that's nothing to be proud of, but Barack Obama has always been a gentleman.

Freedom, equality, and fair elections. That's why I will vote for Obama in November.

Maria has the right atitude we need to move on together. I think her husband has the wrong ideas about what really took place, Hillary has as many votes, but those in Michigan and Fla. were counted true, but they were counted without Obama getting his fair share because his name was not on the ballot so we will never really know just how many voted he would have gotten. Hillary knew exactly what she was doing in keeping her name on the ballot because Bill had been through this before during one of his campaign races and got his way. Also Bill did in fact campaign for Hillary in Fla. although he was not suppose to, but he DID.So if we are to look at what went wrong I think the blame lies within Hillary's campaign, I know it is alway easy to blame others, but we must take responsibity for for things that went wrong to. What about those of us that once supported her until she proved herself to be divisive and dishonest, no one did that to her but herself, she mismanaged her campaign neither Obama or Dean had anything to do with that. What about the fact that she mismanaged her money? What about the fact that her supporters did not support her enough finanically, who's faught is that?

Obama and Dean or Obama supporters are not to blame for everything that went wrong in Hillary's bid. Hillary was far more aggressive against Obama even to the point that many were calling him weak, he allowed her to get away with far more than she would allow him, you all declared her meaness and nasty tactics as strong and being a fighter. Which is it did she fight him the hardest or was he weak? How does this prove him to be unfair to her? Dean allowed her far more time than he would have Obama if Obama was in her place. Do you think Dean was to be unfair to Obama to favor Hillary even when it does not make sense to do so? How would you feel if Hillary was in Obama's place in the race?

What responsiblity does her supporters lay at her feet?

All true democrats should speak out against the political gang raping that took place to eliminate Hillary Clinton from this race.

From this day forward… SHE is the only democrat I will ever vote for.

The politics of hate and vulgarity and insults must end NOW.

Vote No to Obama and his fixed primary.

David is quoted ." The nomination, he said, had been "stolen" from Clinton. "She won the popular vote, the people wanted her. [Democratic National Committee chairman] Howard Dean didn't."

Sorry David but I beg to differ. The nomination was not stolen from her, but her campaign was flaud to begin with when she figured all she had to do was show up and the nomination was hers.
Please lets not forget 18million voted for him too.

"While Hillary behaves like a lady, and a valiant one, Obama goes out for golf."

==============

Excuse me, didn't Obama say that he would meet Hillary at her time and choosing? What is wrong with some of you.? This is about as silly of a comment as anyone can make.

All these should have been OVER by Tuesday. Hillary was pushed to make this move.

I DID NOT, and will NOT watch Hillary's speech. This primary was about the PARTY, not an almighty Queen. If Hillary supporters love her more than they love the DEM party, let them NOT vote for Obama as he REPRESENTS the DEM party. It is that simple! I want change, not coronation!

hey screw that ———- don't want that go McCane

Popular votes is not part of the rules – pledged delegates is, and so is superdelegates, Obama has won both.

I fail to understand how Democrats who supported Clinton now say they will vote for McCain! Do they really want a continuation of Bush rule. Republicans are Republicans. I am sure the Obama will appoint her to make sure universal health care for all Americans becomes a reality, something the Republicans have no idea about, and something that both Clinton and Obama firmly believe in. I have American friends who for five years did not have any health care, is this fair. Basically Clinton and Obama are fighting for the same standards and those who say they will not vote for Obama are only making sure that America continues on the wrong track. Please think again and really listen to Obama's speeches. A Canadian who wants to see America restored.

As a strong Obama supporter and volunteer to his campaign I am glad that Hillary Clinton endorsed him. She gave a good speech and I hope that her supporters overcome their legitimate anger and join us to win back the White House. The Obama website is also very appreciative of her support.

Way to go Hill.

Now away we go.

Say no to political rape.

Could he be even more disrespectful towards Senator Clinton and her 18 million supporters? What message of unity is he trying to convey by playing golf while she was trying to rally her supporters to get behind him?

I was almost swayed by Hillary's poignant speech to support Obama but not i'm not so sure…if he really chose golf over paying attention to Hillary's speech and her supporters, then he is indeed an arrogant elitist who doesn't deserve the White House.

Hillary was pressured by DNC and Dems leaders to throw her support behind Obama. It's not the job of Hillary to unite the party deeply entrench now; it is Obambi's job to do as he is the "presumptive nominee." Hillary can take a vacation right now for two weeks, after 16 months of grueling campaign. As tip Oneil (great democrat), "one week is too long in politics."

We'll see Obambi's prowess in uniting the party, Axelrod released a statement last month, Obambi doesn't need white blue collar workers to win in general election, Donna Brazile said in CNN last month, Obambi doesn't need Hillary supporters to win in general election. We'll see about that in November.

Get ready for President John McCain in January 20, 2009.

He will never have my vote. The DNC is a disgrace. Longtime Democrat now Independent. Clinton in 2012!

She did not have anything "stolen" from her. Clinton and Obama both agreed to the "rules" before anyone voted and he won. Stop blaming him and start thinking about what is best for our country. If you support Bush's policies and want four more years of it, vote for McCain. If you think that this country should go in a different direction and want change, vote for Obama. I myself don't want four more years in Iraq and thousands more killed because I am mad that my candidate did not win.
Obama '08

It flies in the face of common sense to vote for McCain because Senator Clinton is no longer a candidate. To do so is denying that one believes the things Senator Clinton stands for and dooms the country to more war, less international respect and no improvement in health insurance, not to mention the continued outsourcing of American jobs.

Be disappointed, be sad, be all those difficult emotions, but please…do NOT cut off your nose to spite your face. Another Republican administration and we will all be back in the Stone Age.

Folks lets make history. Obama and Barney Frank on Democratic ticket.
Barak Obama – Barney Frank 2008

Could he be even more disrespectful towards Senator Clinton and her 18 million supporters? What message of unity is he trying to convey by playing golf while she was trying to rally her supporters to get behind him?

I was almost swayed by Hillary's poignant speech to support Obama but not i'm not so sure…if he really chose golf over paying attention to Hillary's speech and her supporters, then he is indeed an arrogant elitist who doesn't deserve the White House.

I am disgusted with the DNC and Democratic Party and have left it. It no longer represents what I believe in (millions of voters brutally disenfranchised because of “technicalities”!) I will vote for McCain in November. While I don’t agree with him on everything, I trust him on national security and the fact that he has REAL experience. On the other hand, with Obama I agree on NOTHING and trust him on NOTHING!

I am a woman and proud of it! And I'm a proud and old and white woman, and I'm proud of that, too. But mostly, Senator Obama — you just can't "put it over" on a woman (of any age or color) forever!

Great job Maria shows David what it takes to be the "man". Congratulations to both Senators Obama and Clinton!

United we stand, divided we fall!!!!!!

No republicans in the White House 08! Let's follow Hillary on this one. You would be disrespecting her wishes if you did otherwise!

Continue to back Hillary and the Democratic Party by voting Democratic in November.

Holy moly! Enough with the golf-bashing! Don't you know that just about every president in history was a golfer. My husband is a golfer, but is NOT elitist and knows how to throw back a cheap beer with the rest of 'em.

What it boils down to is that if you call yourself a Hillary supporter and now say that you can go vote for McCain for president then you were never even listening to what the woman had to say in the first place. Barack Obama stands for many of the same things that Hillary did and she knows that, which is why she knows it is more important for him to win the presidency than MCain. I don't think Hillary is going to sit at home and feel sorry for herself like a helpless fool and it would speak volumes of her supporters if they followed her example.

I respect Senator Clinton but I cannot follow her lead. I supported Senator Clinton because I believed she was the best leader for our country. In my opinion, the second best person to lead our country (of the last 3 standing) is Senator McCain.

Obama does not represent my beliefs and, more importantly, I do not believe he represents the beliefs of the Demcratic Party base.

I will cast my vote for Senator McCain in November. The more we learn about Obama the more people will join me by November.

I have to say that you could tell she was not happy today! I dont think she truly wants us to support him I really do not! I am going to give my vote to McCain because Obama has no experience and is so far off par with what America needs!

After Hillary gave a historic speach, I now will watch and fwill ollow events. Presently as a Hillary supporter, I know that I will not vote for Obama if Hillary is not VP. If she is VP, then I will still have difficulty voting for Obama. Today, I only know that I will not even consider Obama if she is not on the ticket and do not know if this will be sufficient for me to vote for him.

At least McCain has experience and I would feel comfortable with him as commander in chief. Remeber Obam never voted again the Iraq war. He only spoke against it. How would he have voted if he had to responsibility for his voted. His record as present in Ilinoise makes me wonder.?

Looks like I will use my indendent vote will go for McCain

And what wrong with Obama taking the weekend off to be with his wife and children. That's what wrong with America, too caught up in politics and no time for family. I'm glad to see some Clinton supporters moving on because that' what life is going to do — move on with or without you. And I am simply tired of the 7 yrs of Bush's mess. Folks move on!

I think that it is time for all the haters to shut up – ON BOTH SIDES
Enough, it is hard for me to say that I will support Obama, I am still raw from the primary but I think all of this attacking is just an example of uneducated, ill informed clowns with really no talent of thier own other than to shoot off their mouth. Ask yourselves this, what have you done that you can talk about? Hello? Echo, Echo Echo.

VP = Jim Webb

Go Obama/Webb 08/12

So what Sen. Obama went golfing. As the author of the report said, "IT IS UNCLEAR IF SEN OBAMA WATCHED THE SPEECH." Maybe he saw it in the car or at the club house. He did go meet with her at the place she wanted.

The point is it was Hillary's day not his.

By the way, how much are you paying for gas?

John McCain will re-introduce the draft as we prepare to keep fighting in IRAQ and invade IRAN at the same time. Need more young men and women for that. So GO VOTE FOR MCSAME. i am sure u will like that nice flag on the Mantle to remember your dead children

First of all Spring, never compare Obama to Bush. Went to golf, you have no idea other than media speculation. Stop looking for a reason no to like a Black presidential canidate. He reported an hour after the speech on how much he appreciated. Nobody needs your hate. It's time to unite behind Obama and Clinton. Let us give up these petty games and make sure Republicans stay out of office.

Talk about a couple divided…..my husband was a Republican until Bush was elected and now he supports Obama. I have always been a Democrat and now cannot support Obama. Go figure!

To all these people stating that they will not vote for Obama remember this, if Obama ends up losing you better believe that when Hillary attempts to run again for the presidency, Obama supporters will not vote for her and she may end up losing as well.

So the point is stop being childish and petty. She lost this democratic nomination fair and square. It wasn't because it was taken or stolen from her. SO STOP WITH THE MADNESS!

Spring………While Hillary behaves like a lady, and a valiant one, Obama goes out for golf……….Where was HRC during his VICTORY Speach on Tuesday ,If you recall they had a hijacked meeting,how do you know what was discussed just maybe they agreed for him not be
there. this was HER moment …..good he wasn't there to witness all the boos and thumb downs. Hillary supports him. Spring…….. Hillary could show Obama how to act like a gentleman, how to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and how to choose friends…..If HRC could not control BiIl (Monica) what makes you think she can control Senator Obama. Get a Life!!!!!

No to Obama,

So you're going to reward John McCain with your vote? With 4 more years of Dubya's War?

That'll show Obama!!

Time to gather 'round to vote in a Democrat and stop Dubya's madness!

people .. you need to stop with the 'I will vote for mcCain since hillary didn't win" comments. A vote for McCain overturns every stride of progress Hillary made for women in this campaign.

Her speech was wonderful, and was deliverred well even though you know it had to hurt. I believe she was serious. At this time, we cannot afford one more day of Republican rule. They are killing the country and establishing an aristocracy.

As for those who complain about his experience… JFK was a single term senator, and Abraham Lincoln had no federal experience. Lincoln in fact was a state representative. These visionaries were recvognized by the generations as the best men for the job and elected over the more "seasoned, experienced candidate." So your experience argument is kinda debunked too.

People, please stop stating that she won the popular vote. That only happens if you count Michigan (but don't count the undecided that would favor Obama) and Florida, which Hillary herself discounted back in November. That kind of math just isn't the truth. I don't understand how you can be behind Hillary Clinton and now say your going to vote for John McCain, a man who stands for virtually the opposite of what she ran for. Obama and her share the same opionions on almost all of the issues. To make a statement like that leads me to believe the only reason you were voting for her in the first place was either because she was a woman or the Clinton name. Both are sorry criteria for the next leader of our country. Educate yourself on the issues and base your vote on what you think your candidate stands for, not sour grapes.

Can someone clarify & explain to the die-hard Clinton supporters that TOTOAL votes include caucus votes & primary votes, so they could feel better that Obama did not rob Hillary at all. I wish she would address this in her speech today.

I don't know if this is the proper place for this comment or not but here goes.I support Hillary. I know that we are to support Obama, but I can't. I feel that Hillary was not treated fairly by Obama, his supporters and the democratic party. My family has voted democratic for the past many years, but this is where it will stop. I refuse to vote for him and I have lost all respect for the Kennedy family. I feel that she was cheated of the nomination. My thoughts and prayers are with Hillary. She is too bright to be his vp. I will not vote for him even if she is vp.

Good for Hillary – she's done the right thing in getting behind Obama. I think her merely suspending the campaign rather than formally ending may be a move, agreed upon by both camps, to keep the VP slot technically out of reach, placating those that don't want it as much as those that do. Those professed Hillary supporters who are promising to vote for McCain are either McCain supporters disguised as irate Hillary supporters, or just plain ridiculous.

I'm a Hill supporter and volunteer. Her speech was the old Hill, very inspiring, but I cannot vote for Obama unless she is on the ticket and maybe not then.

FYI, "yes we can" was coined by Dave Cash of the Philadelphia Philles in the 1970's NOT Obama and his campaign. Come on folks get an original thought!

Hilllary '12

All these should have been OVER by Tuesday. Hillary was pushed to make this move.

I DID NOT, and will NOT watch Hillary's speech. This primary was about the PARTY, not an almight Queen. If Hillary supporters love her more than they love the DEM party, let them NOT vote for Obama as he REPRESENTS the DEM party. It is that simple! I want change, not coronation!

Great job Maria show David what it takes to be the "man". Congratulations to both Senators Obama and Clinton!

United we stand, divided we fall!!!!!!

No republicans in the White House 08! Let's follow Hillary on this one. You would be disrespecting her wishes if you did otherwise!

Continue to back Hillary and the Democratic party by voting Democratic in November.

As an Obama supporter, I thought Hillary's speech was on the money and well worth the wait. She did a fantastic job and should be given credit for it. Heck, her speech made me even reconsider (not totally accept) that perhaps she could be his VP. Perhaps…

Obama over McCain any day!

I don't like the rules of the democratic party.
It's time in this country to have a 3rd party and start supporting it.
Hillary Clinton INDEPENDENT?!!

Lets Go Dems!!!!!

At the end of the day, this about ordinary Americans and their needs and their dreams.

Not about Senators Obama or Clinton. People who stand to gain or lose the most is ordinary Americans if Repulblicans are voted back to power – power they abuse! Liberties of ordinary Americans being eroded!

wow, for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of Hillary Clinton!!
spring ~~ your bias and ignorance is showing.
For the record, the rest of my family, all registered Republicans now support Obama even the sister or two that originally were for Ms. Clinton. United we Stand! Divided We FAIL. Thank you and have a lovely Sunday everyone!

Over 18 million people voted for former presidential candindate Senator Hillary Clinton. This figure translates to 5.8 % of the U.S population, or approximately 19 % of the democratic party. Clearly, astonishing numbers aside, her supporters will not blackmail the party, no pun intended. Just as Presidential nominee Senator Obama has demonstrated, he has the better chance of winning. 19 % of party support Clinton, by default 81 % did not support. The truth is silently powerful.

Losers take a vacation abroad. no pun intended…

Its Obvious That She Is The Smart One In The Marriage!

The bugger is obviously happy and thinks that he can push her around for votes from her supporters. That's why he went to play golf today. He gives two hoots to her emotions and the unity of the democratic party. Yeah, he will be on cloud nine today, having brought down the house of Clintons, exuberant like a middle-school kid. Perhaps he will have a great night today!

I find it so curious that so many Clinton supportors who claimed to trust her good judgment are defying it.

It's a shame and utter disrespect to Senator Clinton.

Who won the popular vote is questionable, BTW…

Look People I am having a hard time paying for the gas Im putting in my car, I am spending my while pension trying to put my son through college, my 26 year who works very hard has chronic asthma but no health insurance, My neighbors is empting out because everyone is loosing their jobs and their houses. Plz peolps their is too much at stake to hold grudges and vote against your own interest and put Mccain tin the white . in 2001 the price of gas was $1.80 a gallon Can we Stand 4 more years os a repoblican in the white house .. I say NO

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
To CNN Politics.com

Not that my opinion will be heard or matter since my vote, once again does not matter. After watching Hillary's speech on your network ( and yes, I was crying), I have this to say;
I am a mother, a grandmother a US Citizen and I was an Aunt to National Guardsmen PVT. Nathan Brown who was killed Easter Sunday 2004 in Samara, Iraq.
Unlike Michell Obama, I have ALWAYS been PROUD to be an AMERICAN.
I would feel much safer if Hillary and Bill Clinton were in the White House again but, I guess it is not to be.
Unfortunately, I have lost all faith in the way we elect or leaders in this country (since Al Gore had the Presidency stolen from him in 2000) and , I was dissapointed with the DNC committee's actions of last weekend.
I am a Nurse, When I apply for a job, I have to present a RESUME of my Qualifications to explain why I am the one who should be their choice for the position. Why does that not seem to be the case when running for our country's highest office????

Yes, I am a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton. I know that she is more qualified for the office of President of the United States .
Sadly, I feel that my voice as an AMERICAN to vote has been taken from me once again. The winner of the popular vote does not count I guess.

I will not be voting in the general election in November.

Karen, ALBANY, NEW YORK

Anyone who says they supported Senator Clinton and will vote John McCain is a straight up liar. How could you so-called supporters do that to Hillary? That's the real betrayal.

Women knows best thank you Maria for trying to educate your husband and all the others out there.To all of you who say you wont vote for "that man" think whom do you think you are hurting,?Obama will still have his home ,cars and not to mention job and insurance so will Hillary and John mc Cain.The rest will be out in the street ,depending on public aid,probably wont have a job,no insurance and crying if I had known.THINK ABOUT IT PEOPLE.lets all get together and get Barak in the white house we all will be better of in the end.

spring – We know your a rebublican troll trying unsuccessfully to sway people into voting for McBush. Nice try.

No to Obama – NIce try. We don't by it. Nobody is that stupid. If you truly supported and voted for Hillary then you would do as she asked. If your just filled with hate then you would talk like you do.

Yes WE CAN and Yes WE WILL

I'm a little galled at the presupposition of the hardcore Hillary supporters that not voting for Obama (or worse, voting for McCain) is going to really do anything other than exhibit a blind indifference to what's best for Hillary going forward. Do you really think a McCain presidency is going to allow Mrs. Clinton to become a part of any major policy-making or allow her ideas to immediately come to the forefront of discussions? Obama needs to involve Hillary to begin earning the trust of her supporters. It's not as though she has much seniority in the Senate. An Obama White House would be more welcoming to Hillary's priorities. Any vote not for Obama, be it non-participatory or a vote for McCain, does little for Hillary. Worse, if you think putting McCain in the White House so that Hillary can run in '12, you're not looking closely enough at what has transpired in the past 4 yrs to think about what that means for our country. Grow up.

The democrats have been complaining since the day they claim the presidency was stolen from Gore, and continued thru the Kerry campaign. They should take Maria's advise and move forward. You go with the rules in place at the beginning. Like anything else in America, if you don't like those rules, there is a time, place, and procedure for changing them.

I agree with David Rivera from Baltimore. ""it will be a cold day down there before I support — that man." The nomination, he said, had been "stolen" from Clinton. "She won the popular vote, the people wanted her. [Democratic National Committee chairman] Howard Dean didn't."

There is no damage control on this. By the way no one should vote for Nancy Pelosi ever again. She just couldn't stand it that Clinton is far more than she could ever be.

I guess people should admit that Senator Clinton didnot win and work for the party rather than taking revenge on Senator Obama just because Clinton is not nominated. No place for selfish ego here.

Today so many young people have started to take interest in politics because of Obama. This itself is a beginning of the change he is trying to start. Lets not stop it and become villains.

You people who still think you are making some sort of "statement of support" by voting McCain or not at all are showing more disrespect for Hillary than anybody could. If that is what you need to do to make yourself feel better then go for it. But don't hide behind Hillary and her historic fight for this nomination because of your own inability to do what is right for the country and the future of it. Hillary is a fighter and people who are her true supporters know what she wants them to do. Hillary Clinton would NEVER IN HER LIFE support a vote for a Republican.
A vote for McCain because you are angry is the equivalent to telling Hillary she doesn't even matter.

A vote for McCain is slap in the face to Hillary Clinton. Which is, of course, what McCain and the Republicans are praying you will do.

I left the Democratic Party last Thursday, I'm now an Independent voter but will continue to be Hillary Clinton supporter forever. I will remember in November to vote for John McCain the next President of United States of America.

I don't know why those fawning over Hilary can't respect Obama for his lifetime of achievement:

- he started running for President 2 weeks after he started in the Senate
-he revitalized FOUR WHOLE BLOCKS in Chicago as a community organizer

If these amazing achievements do not qualify him to lead 300 million people then I don't know what will.

still won't vote for obama. hillary, i'm with you all the way. i've donated, made calls, did every thing i could. but i can not do this one last thing you have asked of me. i can not pull the lever for obama.

i don't like him. i don't like the way he treats the "bitter, poor, uneducated, blue collar, union, beer drinking, clinging to our gun and our god, democrat"

good luck to you sen. clinton in what ever you decided to do. you have shown my daughters that a women can be anything she wants. you have also shown us we have minds and know how to use them.

the dnc didn't want my vote in the primary, they won't be getting it in the fall. in mi, mc cain is ahead. DOES THIS TELL THE DNC ANYHING?

Like Hillary said, let us help elect Obama our President !!

Many Hillary Supporters Are Already Getting Behind Obama! There Are Millions Of Her Supporters Ready To Put A Democrat In The White House Regardless Of The Nominee! However, There Are A Few Who Will Not Come Over To The Obama Camp For Various Reasons. They Are Too Few In Number To Hurt Obamas Chances Even Even If Some Claim All 18 Million Are Going To Vote Mccain! Thats Just Not Going To Happen! Get Over Yourselves And Lets Unite The Party!

"Spring", It's obvious you're not up on all the facts. Your comments show your ignorance. Obama deserves time off with his family. Clinton is also taking time off with her family. They have both been through a long, hard fought campaign. Clinton's speech today made up for her disastrous speech on Tuesday. 18 million people also voted for Obama. It was a very close race.

I'm with the HUSBAND! I will not vote for Obama! The media swift-boated Hillary Clinton, and the DNC is full of a bunch of un-loyal hypocrites. Hillary won the popular vote, and she should have been the nominee. Neither one would of had enough pledged delegates, the Super delegates should have been given the chance to take their time and choose for themselves who the wanted. Not bully and threaten by Dean and Pelosi. Hillary Clinton you should leave that horrible non-loyal party and run as an INDY!

This Democratic Primary was a blessing of riches. To turn our back on either Clinton or Obama is patently irresponsible; the stakes are tooooo high to let our future be dismantled more by the Republicans. Whatever your lens of perspective between who won or lost and for what reasons, remember this: they both earned nearly 18 million votes and they both brought new voters into the Democratic fold. Most importantly, their philosophical approach to government and policy, regardless of political rhetoric, are virtually the same when compared to the Republicans. Let's get Hillary on the Supreme Court and Obama in the White House.

I pulled my Hillary yard signs yesterday, and Voting for McCain!

OUTSTANDING SPEECH HILLARY!!!!!

Just one thing – - – NO WE WON'T!!!

i am not a clinton or obama supporter. i was in the beginning open to either of them but now i would not vote for obama because of the hateful and obnoxious comments his supporters post about anyone. they insist clinton was horrible. played the race card, was mean and divisive. the most racist comment made in this campaign by any candidate came from obama saying his grandmother was a typical white woman. obama zealots tell us that if we dont support their ultra liberal, arrogant messiah, we are racist. maybe we just dont think he has the experience and good judgement for the job, but NO the zealots say thats just to cover up the real racist reason. the obama camp cried racism every 3 minutes. the press practically idolized the man and no one seemed to care that the media made horribly sexist comments about sen. clinton. i have always voted democrat but this is the end. i cannot support sen. obama who does not reflect my political views, and disrespects blue collar workers, women, and his own grandmother. i will vote for an american hero who is nothing like bush. i will vote for john mccain

Those of you "democrats" going on to Vote McCain..good luck to you, just don't complain of rising cost, endless war and unemployment in the ensuing 4yrs if your man is elected President…you would have deserved it

Otherwise, there is still time to join the change bandwagon, even Hillary recognizes that this is the only way to take America back at the moment

So , get off your childish rants and consider the future of your children and not vote emotions like "Oh I'm voting McCain becaus eObama goes golfing"..I mean please!!!!

The man waited for days for this endorsement and you want him to break away from his much deserved rest (as he had promised) to listen to Hillary?, hey, this is the age of Tevo, sure he can watch it later….

If you dont want to vote Obama because of his policies or experience, that's fair game…anything else is just plain silly in my view…

She didn't win the popular vote. The election wasn't stolen.

And she lied about surviving sniper fire in a war torn country. Then she lied about lying as did her husband.

How is that anyone else's fault?

PEOPLE,PEOPLE,PEOPLE…..PLEASE

If you like McCain,it's ok. But just think of the young men and women that will be fighting in a war we shouldn't be in. You vote is like a bullet after November. You say you love your Grandson, Sons and Nephews, so you want them to go to this war. Do really love them or is your pride and angry more important. Do what you want, but think about the news reports that tells you how many men and women we lost today. Just smile and we showed them, didn't we girls. Face life…

To all Democratics, who supported Hillary Clinton if we really care about Hillary let us get behind her and support Obama and help him get elect for President.

Spring………While Hillary behaves like a lady, and a valiant one, Obama goes out for golf……….Where was HRC during his VICTORY Speach on Tuesday ,If you recall they had a hijacked meeting,how do you know what was discussed just maybe they agreed for him not be
there. this was HER moment …..good he wasn't there to witness all the boos and thumb downs. Hillary supports him and so I.Spring…….. Hillary could show Obama how to act like a gentleman, how to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and how to choose friends…..If HRC could not control BiIl (Monica) what makes you think she can control Senator Obama. Get a Life!!!!!

Did Obama play golf when Kennedy or Edwards endorsed him???

The DNC chose to abandon the strongest candidate for one who is ill qualified for the nomination. They have abandoned Hillary—I have now abandoned them. They need and will be taught a lesson—-every vote counts…period
With all due respect for Hillary, I remain a NO VOTE for OBama

You Obama supporters are on your own—have fun, the party is almost over.

Maria, you sound like a true dedicated democrat. I am glad you have the vision to see what is the best for the country. I think all the people who are sore and will not vote for Obama lied when they said they did not want another George Bush term. Good for you Maria!!!!!

I am new USA citizen and I "was" going to vote democrat(Hillary), because they are huge differences between them and Hillary is the best candidate to take care of all the problems our country faces today(thanks to the George Bush presidency); it doesn't matter that they are both democrats. They are day and night.
Today 18.000.000 citizens lost their hopes. Popular vote should & must be taking more seriously!.
Im going to the GREEN PARTY now, anybody wants to join me?
(The Greens/Green Party USA )

In response to Spring's comments. How on Earth can Hillary Clinton teach Obama how to be a gentleman, when she is married to a lying cheating husband. Maybe instead of helping Obama "choose better friends" maybe she could have CHOSEN to divorce Bill a long time ago. You know why she lost, you can thank her husband Bill for that.

**I know CNN(Clinton News Network) will not allow this comment to post, but it is the truth**

I don't see how Obama could have gone to a "racist church" for 20 years when Trinity isn't racist. You people who claim that Trinity is "racist" have no idea what racism is and you just trivialize racism with that nonsense. You have no idea what it's like to be on the receiving end of racism, and your selfish and short-sighted self-righteous indignation is sickening. In no way does Trinity espouse any superiority to any other race, or advocate the subjugation and oppression of any other race. What you hear in the select sound bites that are played repeatedly is bitterness and frustration WITH racism, not racism. How many white supremacist groups embrace blacks, welcoming them into their organizations? How many have guest black speakers speak at their events the way Trinity has preachers of all races preach at their church, and how many are part of a larger organization of black groups the way Trinity is part of a larger group of 99% white churches, or espouse a belief system of “different, not deficient”? They don’t. Their whole point is that non-whites ARE deficient and therefore deserved to be subjugated which is what makes them racist. There was a story written some weeks ago by a white parishioner at Trinity, who said that Wright intervened and told his black fiance that God would not be pleased if she backed out of their marriage based on racial discomfort. Those are all FACTS that are not in dispute. Trinity is not racist, you can make stuff up but that doesn't make it true.

Also, this whole thing about the guy being upset about Clinton winning the popular vote yet losing just shows the problem with the lack of intellectual honesty in the media, they let her get away with this claim of having won the popular vote for weeks. The truth is that she's only ahead in the popular vote if you don't count four caucus states, and if you count the vote in Michigan that Harold Ickes was instrumental in deciding wouldn't count and for which Hillary Clinton agreed wouldn't count, even though Obama's name was not on the ballot (based on this agreed upon understanding that it would not count). Even if you don't count the voters in the four caucus states, Obama is STILL ahead in the popular vote unless you give him a big goose egg out of Michigan and give Hillary all those votes that she got simply because she didn't mail the paperwork in on time to take her name off the ballot. I made an offer to the Clinton supporters that if she would have taken her name off the ballot in Montana and South Dakota, we could have counted Michigan as is. But somehow, even though they think it's fair to count Michigan under the same circumstances, none of them were willing to take me up on the offer.

Good For You David Riveria of Baltimore…

Millions feel the same as you do. How can you vote for someone
you don't trust.

Can you imagine Michelle Obama as First Lady, and poeple playing
back her speech of how she was never proud of America.

I bet she's proud now that her butt will be in the White House.
God only knows what she will be saying, and then it's too late to gag her.

People everybody just remember the the media is in the business of making money and reporting what ever it takes.
I only like to say to all DEM. no matter what camp you pitched your flag in , we are now one camp and under one flag.
If you are a Hillary supporter with a small thought of backing McCain just ask yourself this , do you really what McCain appointing judges to the Supreme Court?
He has already told us what type of judges he plans to put on the higest court in the land.
Think about it , PLEASE

the woman"s position is noble and worthy of emulation by all who wants to see the democrates in power.

It makes me sad that in 2008, we still have people that would rather vote for a warmonger that would take away women's rights, doesn't care about the economy or healthcare and will be a continuation of the Bush White House, then to vote for a black man. Say what you will, Clinton supporters that "threaten" to vote for McCain, you just can't bring yourselves to vote for a black person, no matter how prepared or educated. Your sorry excuses make me laugh.

Former Clinton supporter now supporting obama ????????? Just who do you think you're kidding! You people are too stupid.

If no Hillary then McCain…..08

@Brian TN,

You can not get away from me!! Hey everybody Brian is a Republican troll keeping up problems with the Democrats. Boy, you are going to have to change your name. By the way, where's fred, susan and Uncle Sam. LMAO

Now they are going to fault Obama for going out to play golf!!!!???? Give me a break!!!!!! He did announce that he was going to spend a relaxing weekend, which I feel he deserves. How about commenting on the wait Hillary's supporters had to bear. She was due to speak at noon and showed up much later!!! Was Obama supposed to put his golf plans on hold while she took her own blessed time getting to her venue? And he had no obligation to view the speech anyway. It is time for all of us- Clinton and Obama supporters alike- to get on Obama's bandwagon for the sake of the Democratic party and the country. To all Clinton supporters: It's over! So please move on! Obama has been more than gracious toward Hillary and Bill despite all the negative shots that they threw at him throughout the campaign. And I heard today that the McCain campaign has already compiled a list of all those negative comments made by Hillary and Bill against Obama and will be using them against Obama.

Brian–do you sit and blog all day…lying in wait for the next story? Id you keep all this hate bound up inside of your system–it will explode and you will have cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and many other things. You need to sit on someone's couch and get some counseling…you seem sick as hell.

Thank you, Hillary Clinton. If anyone is interested, on Senator Obama's website is Hillary's picture with "Thank you, Senator Clinton"
there is also a place on the site to send her a thank you. Thought it was very nice of Senator Obama. And again, thank you, Senator Clinton. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

For those Hillary Supporters, who are switching to McCain. You were not really Hillary Supporters in the first place, if you can drop your candidate and eveything she stands for, just because she did not not win the nomination then you were not a strong supportter of Hillary. If Hillary says she is supporting Barack then you should support her. The difference between the two is paper thin. So what is the real reason why you will not support Hillary if she she supports Barack?

Let us not let anger control us but instead control the anger. Anger is one letter short of DANGER. If we support Mccain because of anger we will be in Danger. I have been an HIllary supporter, but i rather vote Obama than MCcain because he is not anything close to Hillary. People lets think straight.

Hillary won the popular vote only if you count Michigan (which was punished for breaking party rules, where Obama did not campaign, where no one could vote for Obama because his name wasn't on the ballot, and whose Jan. 15 results have now been thrown out by the DNC) and don't count caucus states (which did not always report the popular vote).

Listening to delusional Hillary die-hards like David Rivera, you would think that Florida and Michigan were disqualified for no reason at all, which is, of course, not the case.

Obama played by the rules. Delegates nominate. Obama got more delegates. Obama won the nomination fair and square. It's that simple.

OBAMA '08

All you people out there who dare support the continuiation of the neo-con movement just out of spite for Senator Clinton's defeat show THAT YOU ARE AGAINST Senator Clinton herself, for the WAR IN IRAQ, and for economic policies that are breaking the backs of Americans. You people are worse than the bile that voted Bush in! You people are traitors to our soldiers (including my brother), and you are a traitors to the democratic party, but most importantly you are traitors to the good of America. WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS! Obama may not be perfect but he will have nothing in common with Bush, and he will make the Democrats a force to be reckoned with. I am a registered Independent and I am disgusted with so-called democrats who can't even vote for the right choice and with their own party out of spite. You people are dispicable!

Since Hillary only suspended her campaign does that mean she still has a chance to win?

Well, since we have all these Obama supporters always posting around here, with a lot of attitude about how he ended up with the nomination and how they do no want Hillary for VP, I guess that they do not need my vote. Or what do you thought, that everything was going to be nice and easy going forwards and that because your guy won everything is cool?!?!?! PLUH-EEEZE

Please stop pretending that nothing happened here. Democrats right now are at best a dysfunctional family and it's Obama, not Hillary, who has to reach to us. If I don't see her in the ticket, I don't have to show up to vote. After all, Obama is the one that needs my support now…

I WILL POST THIS OBAMA WAS SEEN WITH HIS GOLF CLUBS, ALL YOU HILLBILL SUPPORTERS ARE SAYING HE DISRESPECTED HER WHEN IN FACT THE NIGHT HE MADE HISTORY SHE DID NOT CONCEDE OR RECOGNIZE HIS HISTORY MAKING EVENT. HE WILL BE PRESIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT THE SMALL FEW OF YOU. HE HAD OVER 18 MIL IN SUPPORTERS AND HE WILL GET HER SUPPORTERS AS WELL AS INDEPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS THE FEW 100 THOUSAND CAN GO TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET WITH GASOLINE DRAWS ON. DEMS WILL WIN THE WHITE HOUSE REGARDLESS OF YOUR SUPPORT. SHE LOST BECAUSE OF HER LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS AND HER HIGH AND MIGHTY NAME RECOGNITION. THAT EXPERIENCE LIE DID NOT WORK. HE RAISED MORE MONEY, WON MORE VOTES AND HE WILL WIPE THE WHITE HOUSE FLORR WITH MCCAIN. EVERYONE COUNTED HIM OUT. HERE IS HE OUR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. TAKE YOUR HATERADE TO THE REST OF YOUR RACISTS BUDDIES.

This is not a sport. This is a political movement. If you, democrats, agree with the ideas and support your leaders, how you can talk about McCain as a your choice? Clinton would support the main line: democrats have to get the presidency. It is not so important who would be President, Clinton or Obama. She understands that. Suprisingly, her supporters heard her voice but didn't get the message. I am so glad that I am independent.

I am a woman and a former Republican who is very grateful for what Hillary has done for all of us but ,now it is time for us to support the Democratic Nominee. Obama has run a gentleman's campaign and I appreciate that. I'm sure he will continue to do the same as he campaigns against McCain. It's time for CHANGE.

OBAMA '08

Arms crossed, David Rivera of Baltimore told a reporter that "it will be a cold day down there before I support — that man."

With a name like Rivera, you know it smacks of illegal immigrants that Lou Dobbs has been trying to keep out of the USA.

Howard Dean, Nancy Poloski and supers can have Obama.

Brian Knoxville, TN. Obama told the TN Rep Party to stop talking about his wife and they did it. That is how powerfull he is. If she wanted his attention she should have had made the speech on Tuesday. Look at it this way, Tuesday is for eating crow, Saturday is for Golf. Best you and Slick Hillie get your priorities in order.

Hillary is no longer Bill's wife. Bill is Hillary's husband. I gained a new respect for her over these past 6-months.

I will try again to get a comment posted because I have only seen 1 other blogger who says what I have been thinking.

But first…….. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Senator Clinton.
Her speech was awesome!!! It was gracious, professional, purposeful and emotional.

Now to those who keep spewing such hatred and mistrust for Obama that they will vote for McCain:
Hillary had 18 million votes.
Obama had 18 million votes.
What this should tell you is that neither campaign can win without the other. WE NEED EACH OTHER!!!!
If Clinton supporters don't honor her values and goals for America and vote for a Republican, then if we lose the White House this election because of that, those 18 million voters are not going to support her in 2012 or 2016.

Easy choice.

Never condone hate.

Never give a nod to destroying another human being with a campaign of hate and insults.

Stand for freedom and equality and fair elections.

Do not vote for Obama now

______________________

Before I got to the last line, I thought this comment would say "no hillary for VP."

Now we can think on our own and stop being mislead by 18million figure which was not true. Good to do the math by ourself before the long haul.

I too agree with you Michael, all those that supported her and then either decided to switch to McCain or not vote at all, makes me wonder where they every true Democrats? If she can do it to unite America, I would hope that all those who supported would want the same thing CHANGE.

It's all about USA and the people of America, lets unite and come together for CHANGE. Lets put aside or selfish attitudes and still unite with Hilliray for CHANGE, go job Senator Clinton, good job.

GO OBAMA for CHANGE

I hope all of you know that a lot of these so called "Hillary Clinton" supporters that blog on these sites are Republicans posing and Democrats to divde and conquer us.

It is indeed time for the Democratic Party to move forward. I agree there are winners and losers in all types of competitions. For those who wish to throw their votes away, that is your right. But make sure you are prepared to deal with possible consequences such continued appointments of radical far right wing Supreme COurt Justices, a wrecked economy, poor access to healthcare, lower than standard educational system and the list goes on. If those of you who refuse to sopport the Democractic system can live through another 4-8 years with the status quo, do what you must. But those of us who function with our eyes wide open will strongly support the Democractic ticket.

It does not surprise me that Obama could not take time off his precious golf schedule, as he has always has done, to listen to Senator Clinton's speech. This is how he is going to run the country if he wins. I refuse to give him my vote, I will not vote Republican either, will sit this one out.

For the first time I saw her strenght. But still couldn't Obama congratulate with his nomination.
Obama and Hillary will give you an ultimate Healthcare.
Be proud America on your Democratic Party: don't divide anymore?
Please stop to be so nasty and hateful, please unite?
Be positieve and you have a nice day.
Of course he have seen and heard the speech!

This is just amazing the nominee who lost has more media coverage….Can't help it people are more interested on her than Obama……Presidential campaign without Hillary Clinton is just so boooring…….Hillary you made history and you will be missed.

Hi to all:

I wanted t add to other article but it had been closed already. It's a shame that Hillary didn't get it. She has truly out performed her husband and would have out performed him as President. I would love to vote for Obama but knew from the beginning he doesn't have a clue what he's in for. We, as a country not Dem or Rep, cannot afford to help him with on the job training. I wish she wuold run independent b/c obviously her loyalty to the Dem. party was not returned back to her as seen by the Super Delegates not backing her.

Michael in Glendale Arizona,

You are so right and true no more of the republicans and John McCain.

Our country is so mess up because of the republicans…

We can't afford 4 more years of the same..

I believe Sen. Clinton's speech portrayed her intelegence, strengh and grace. It also shows her belief in and alliance to the democratic process and party.
I truely hope that Sen. Obama sees and appreciates these traits.
An Obama / Clinton ticket would sweep the presidency and change the face and heart of the nation.

But the bottom line, Obama is a man who didn't want to campaign for the presidency.

Remember all those people cheering Rev. Pfleger for his disparaging remarks against Clinton? THEY are who wanted Obama to take the opportunity, because they thought Hillary would be a weak candidate, to push for the first black president.

And at least Obama will most likely get the nomination.

I want to support Hillary, but I can't stand Obama, and not because of his race.

Obama has no resume. Nothing to offer other than speech reading.

"that man" – behind closed doors means "that black man"
more racism…big surprise.

man, follow your wife"s example that is what maturity is about.

Hillary only won the popular vote with here math and even at that it was by 50-100,000 votes even with her math. MSNBC had Obama winning the popular vote and CNN had using differnet senarios had both of them winning the popular. You can't give Obama ZERO votes in Michigan especially with Detroit mostly afro american. I hope people really do not think Hillary should have the nomination based on the popular.

I heard these same type hypocrite people say they would NEVER vote for George Bush because John McCain lost in 2000, the number was close to 40 percent, when election night rolled in over 90 percent went for Bush.

Talk is cheap and whisky costs money.

As I sat and watched Hillary today throw every bit of support toward Barack……..her brother in her democratic party……..I was very proud of the way she handled herself, her supporters and her fellow democrats….she did the right thing today……..and will help lead Americans to a formidable election in November……..and putting the White House back into Democratic hands……VOTE FOR BARACK

To CNN Politics.com

Not that my opinion will be heard or matter since my vote, once again does not matter. After watching Hillary's speech on your network ( and yes, I was crying), I have this to say;
I am a mother, a grandmother a US Citizen and I was an Aunt to National Guardsmen PVT. Nathan Brown who was killed Easter Sunday 2004 in Samara, Iraq.
Unlike Michell Obama, I have ALWAYS been PROUD to be an AMERICAN.
I would feel much safer if Hillary and Bill Clinton were in the White House again but, I guess it is not to be.
Unfortunately, I have lost all faith in the way we elect or leaders in this country (since Al Gore had the Presidency stolen from him in 2000) and , I was dissapointed with the DNC committee's actions of last weekend.
I am a Nurse, When I apply for a job, I have to present a RESUME of my Qualifications to explain why I am the one who should be their choice for the position. Why does that not seem to be the case when running for our country's highest office????

Yes, I am a huge supporter of Hillary Clinton. I know that she is more qualified for the office of President of the United States .
Sadly, I feel that my voice as an AMERICAN to vote has been taken from me once again. The winner of the popular vote does not count I guess.

I will not be voting in the general election in November.

Karen, ALBANY, NEW YORK

I am a strong supporter of Hillary Clinton. We still hear her voice and always will. She continues to show today why she has tremendous support and love from her voters.

I really believe that she should be the nominee for the Democratic party but that is not how it turned out. I do think everyone needs to stop saying what went wrong, as if they do not know. Reverse racism, sexism, media, DNC….

We all must say what John Edwards said, "She is strong as steel". I respect her decision and I know within my heart that she cares for the American people and the decisions that are before us.

It is now time for Obama to stand and prove to us that he should be President of the United States. It is not up to Clinton to rally his support he must do it himself. I am waiting to see if he can.

Michael in AZ is right.

I think Hillary was a good candidate for president, but crying about her loss and retaliating by voting for the opposition is senseless. It's admirable to be behind one candidate (I initially supported John Edwards), but what about backing your party, or at least standing behind your principles that made you support Clinton to begin with? How can you want Hillary for president, and consider John McCain an acceptable back-up? Use your common sense, and stop being angry and emotional about an election. That's what the Republicans like to play on, that's how they win, and look where it's gotten us.

It's a free country and you can vote for whom you choose. But when your income stagnates, when you file bankruptcy because you cannot afford your healthcare, when your son is drafted into this endless war, when your daughter is injured in a self-induced abortion because she had no choice- we're going to have a hard time feeling sympathy for your belly-aching then. And I am not playing up on your fear- that will be the reality of a John McCain presidential term!

Obama goes golfing right before Hillary's speech!

Hillary Clinton was the best the Democratic Party ever had. Now the Party has self destructed! We are once again Reagan Democrats and will vote for John McCain!

Check out Ron Paul, he's still in it!!

I will be 51 years old very soon. I remember watching RFK's funeral on the TV and some on the turbulent times of the 1960's that affected my family so well. Thanks for the show Something is Happening Here. The commentators made some great comparisons .

On another note, I would like to state that this is the first election that has peeked my interest. I have exercised my right to vote but Election 2008 brings an feeling of expectation. I turned to CNN for the most up to date news on the candidates and listen carefully to the articulate and insightful analysts discuss the candidates and the polls. I watched Senator Clinton's speech. It was the best I have ever heard her make !!!! I wholeheartedly agree that it's time for this nation to catch the air of expectation, change if you will and move towards an America that unites all people who share a common thread of humanity. As a people, we need to vote for the candidate that share our views and hopes for a better United States. Thanks Hillary for showing the world what an intelligent woman can do. Let's stay focus on the BIG picture. It's time for a change and it can only be accomplished if WE THE PEOPLE stand up and unite !

I hope the hillary supporters will follow her lead and support Obama
its the issues that count and a lot of them are her issues too
I can say this with no doubt in my mind tho that Senaor Obama will win the presidency !!!
if your wondering how I know that
trust *my intuition* ..I KNOW

Spring- Why should Obama not go out and play golf? He has earned the right to enjoy his leisure activities before he continues to fight people who just do not like or accept the fact that a black man is the presumptive nominee. Everything at this point is speculative with opinions flying all over the place. Give Obama a chance because the prism in which he views the world, race relations and the concerns of everyday people will be different than the politicians who are currently making decisions for Americans.

Don't forget Senator Obama did not come from a wealthy family, thereby giving him first-hand knowledge of what it like to have to work hard to keep food on the table. In addition, he has the perspective of different cultures; thereby expanding his knowledge of people.

The very rules Clinton supporters complain about are the very rules her supporters put into place years ago. Spiteful votes will not move this country forward. It's time for Americans to rally around each other and make this country great again. All Americans should have full citizenship!

Didn't convince this independent to vote for the creep.

Hillary, I hope he loses so you can conscious free run in 2012 and show America what real change is all about.

Voting McCain (he is a patriot and true American) 2008 for Clinton 2012.

Never Obama.

Hope Sen. Obama isn't persuaded by the Democrat Party machine to include Hill on the ticket. Old McNumb will use it to show the US voters he has no cojones and that the one who indeed wears the pants is Hillarious. Bill Richardson sounds like a good one — a non-partisan entrepreneur even better.

My great-grandfather was the chairman of the Democratic Party in Hawaii.
For 40 years I have been a Democrat. I will no longer support the Democratic party. How dare they think they can treat us Hillary supporters the way they have. They are nothing but a bunch of boneheads. There are enough of us that can make a difference. So, Obama you better kiss Hillary"s you know what.

Listen to your wife David! A vote to Mcain is a vote against everything that Hillary has faught for and stands for. EVERYBODY knows it's not about the popular vote, it's about the delegates. He didn't steal it, Obama won it. Why would you deny his victory?

Hillary was gracious today in her historic speech. Please, put your bitterness and disappointment aside, follow Hillary's example and help elect a our Democratic nominee, Obama, for President. Hillary will have a great future in politics–she's only warming up.

After listening to Hillary's phenominal speech today, I hope Obama makes the best decision to add Hillary to his ticket for VP.
It will be the DREAM TICKET.

OBAMA/HILLARY

Easy that was gust plain sad

Folks, let's judge the candidates on their own merits and not
equate them with other leaders.

Both unfair statements:

McCain is same as Bush

wrong!

Obama is same as Carter

wrong!

keyword "suspend" She has not stopped her campaign completely. Everyone should just hold their horses. I still see Hillary Clinton against John McCain in November.

I suggest you ladies wait to see how he treats Hillary ( and Bill, since he clumped them together during the campaign). Why so quick to jump on the bandwagon? Were you really for Hillary?

Let him EARN your vote. He wasn't the best candidate but he got the nomination thru dubious means. He has to be worthy of the highest position in this country, and we do have many many problems facing us.

VOTE OBAMA/CLINTON 08, If HILLARY IS NOT THE VP,

VOTE FOR MCCAIN. DNC AND THE MEDIA NEED TO GET THIS

MESSAGE: WE WOMEN WHO SUPPORT HILLARY WILL NOT SIT

DOWN AND BE QUIET. WE WLL VOTE FOR MCCAIN IF HILLARY IS NOT THE VP.

I feel exactly like David does.

I am so tired of the people who say Obama stole the election or that it was given to him by the DNC. Without Michigan, Obama leads in the popular vote. This was always a race for delegates and Obama's team understood that from the beginning. They put together a brilliant campaign to win the delegate count and planned a 50 state campaign. You can be sad that you lost, but don't try to diminish the fact that Obama ran a good campaign and won fair and square.

I do not understand how any reasonable adult can say the election was "stolen" from her. Obama won the delegates, which is what nominates the candidate. Clinton folks understood that delegates are king at the beginning of the process and the smart ones still do. Her campaign made really bad decisions by not competing hard in the caucaus states.

She only won the popular vote by using very fuzzy math. By including my state, Michigan, in which the choices were Clinton, Dodd, Kucinich and undeclared. And by not including most caucauses. If that is the math you subscribe to, then you are blinded by your devotion to Hillary. Even if that is your math, you still have to ignore the fact that he won more states and more delegates.

You have to ignore a lot of facts to think she is deserving of the nomination.

To Hillary supporters:

I have supported Obama After Edwards(my prefered candidate) and like you will have to chose another. My own support of Obama has noting to do with race or sex and I hope that this race has ended this once and for all. I just would like Hillary's supporters to know that not supporting Hillary was a decision made because of her and Bill's sordid past. I wish I could elaborate on what I know but I can't because CNN would never allow this post to fly if I did this. I would have gladly supported another woman in a presidential contest and would gladly support a woman in the future. Just not that particular woman. Now lets move on to the real problem of getting Bush and the Republicans out of office. We need your help for the larger common good of America. We will wecome you with open arms
yes WE can

What next? Fixing our healthcare. Hillary doesn't rule the world. She is a scotch earth politician who doesn't acknowledge others win. Her speech was self serving most of it and some line about Obama which seemed like a mock.
Now let's move forward after this woman set us backwards injecting race and sexism in this campaign.

She didn't win because she is Clinton with baggage that seem no one want to carry forward Period!

Hillory shmillory!! What choice did she have!! Boy his women is slick ! But she doesnt fool every one . I,m not and American and thank God!! If Obama picks her as VP it will be his first big mistake!!! Mark me!!! God protect you Obama.

You people who say you were for Hillary and now for obama lie like dogs.
You never were for Clinton. Well, this Clinton supporter will NEVER vote for the racist and liar obama. If you're stupid enough to believe his crap then help yourself…..but not me.
My vote will go for the best man running…..John McCain.

Whats the difference Bob when she made this speech? Sounds like the same hatred in this election , I for one hopes that Obama picks someone besides Hillary for his VP spot..I have read bloggers today on different sites and different articles covering this day and Hillary's speech and still there is so much hatred coming out of the Obama camp..it's very sad. "she should have made this speech 4 days ago" or "she didnt talk enough about Obama" on and on and on..so much hatred …it's down out pitiful ….

McCain 08

I'm astounded that anyone who supported Hillary would contemplate voting for McSame or not voting at all! You couldn't have been much of a Hillary supporter if you'd vote against the issues both she and Obama share just to be spiteful.
Hillary has put aside her own ambitions and disappointment to stand behind the candidate who will best serve the interests of all our citizens and her party. If you supported Hillary, as I did, then you should continue to support her wishes for a united party working for her most cherished goals.
Vote for McSame or not vote at all, and, as she said in her consession speach, you will break her heart. Is that how you would show your final support for this remarkable woman? If so you should be ashamed.

Still voting for McCain.

THIS IS A LETTER I JUST SENT TO THE DNC. NO DONATIONS, NO SUPPORT, UNLESS HILLARY IS ON THE TICKET AS VP.

DNC, DO YOU WANT A REPEAT OF 1968? YOU HAVE ALREADY BLUNDERED BY NOT NOMINATING THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE. DO NOT DISRESPECT HILLARY'S 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS.
WE WANT HILLARY ON THE TICKET; NOT BECAUSE WE ARE ANGRY…BUT BECAUSE WE WANT HER INPUT IN THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION, AND BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT AN OBAMA/CLINTON TICKET IS THE SURE PATH TO VICTORY IN NOVEMBER.

BY THE WAY, I AM NOT AN ELDERLY, WHITE WOMAN, NOR AM I UNDEDUCATED. ALL DAY I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY BIG WIGS SAYING HOW OBAMA MUST COURT THESE TWO CAMPS.

YOU ARE OVERLOOKING A LOT OF THE 18 MILLION. I AM A THIRTY YEAR OLD WHITE WOMAN WITH A BA, A MASTERS, AND A PHD ….WITH MONEY TO DONATE.

IF HILLARY IS NOT ON THE TICKET, I WILL NOT DONATE ANY MONEY TO THE DNC OR OBAMA, AND I WILL EXPRESS BY DISPLEASURE BY VOTING FOR MCCAIN.

THIS MORNING I HOSTED A BREAKFAST IN LOS ANGELES TO WATCH THE SPEECH. ONE HUNDRED MEN AND WOMEN IN THEIR THIRTIES ATTENDED. WE TOOK A POLL AFTER HILLARY'S SPEECH.

98 PEOPLE SAID THEY WOULD NOT DONATE OR VOTE FOR OBAMA UNLESS HILLARY IS THE VP.

DNC, DON'T BLOW IT THIS TIME. GIVE US DEMS THE DREAM TICKET AND THE VICTORY

obama does not have enough respect to listen to Clinton's speech – the golf course was more important to him.

GO McCAIN!!!!

Michael in Glendale Arizona-

I agree with you Mike. I cannot switch to McCain at this time. Both of these candidates will have to prove their worth to me. McCain says he is not the third coming of Bush. He will have to convince me of that. Obama says "Hope and Change" He will have to explain to me how he is gonna accomplish this change. He can't expect to just hope for it, or he will just be hoping for my vote.

This ain't my first rodeo. I have voted before. But, previously, I was solidly behind my party's nominee, even if he had beaten my preference. Not this year. It is starting with a clean slate. Earn my vote, fellas. I will not vote just to get my party's candidate in office ever again. There is my contribution to Change. That's how I'm gonna accomplish it.

A SMART LADY THINKING OF HER COUNTRY AND HER PARTY, THE HUSBAND NEEDS TO GET OVER IT.
and the angry hillary supporters

if you dishorner her request, you will cost her the election in 2016.
if she can be an adult
WHY CAN'T YOU OR DID YOU NOT LIKE HER TO START?
YOU SHOULD HORNER HER WISHES IF YOU SUPPORTED HER AND STOP ACTING LIKE A SPOILED BRAT

CNN POST THIS IT IS IMPORTANT

'I will have to think about it.' Isn't that what Michello Obama said she'd do if Hillary became the candidate? If it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me…

I may just have to go with my conscience and stay at home in November because, quite frankly, I cannot bring myself to vote for a candidate in whom I do not believe. I do not believe in Obama–he has not shown me any good reason to believe–and I certainly don't want another four years of Repubs.

Shove the "popular vote" argument… te math was specious and SHE LOST…

and I AM SO GLAD!!!!

I have listen to Hillary Clintons speech today, and I will not support Obama now or in the future.

I will cast my vote in favor of McCain. Why the disrespectful behavior of Obama, his supporters like Wexler.

The remarks that he has made in his speeches directed at Hillary Clinton, has shown me that he never had nor does he have respect for her as a person or as a woman.

This forty nine year old woman will do my best to make sure I get the word out to vote for McCain.

If Hillary Clinton wants to run as an Independent it will be my pleasure to cast my vote for her.

One more thing to Spring… that is the dumbest statement I've heard to day!!! He's like Bush?!?!?! That's a laugh!! No, he shouldn't chose her, he would then have to carry all of their baggage too.

OBAMA 08!!!

I hope the DNC and CNN are happy now. We have a surprise for you in Nov. We will never vote for a man we do not trust. Donna Brazille said she did not need our vote anyway, and thats fine with us. She won't get it. Jamal and Roland you can spin all your crap about McCain now and see if anybody believes you. Jack Cafferty they should fire you. We will vote McCain at least we know he loves this country.

A well deserved game of golf for Obama.

Thank you to Hillary for making that speech.

The well funded Republican slime machine are now trying to take advantage of disenfranchised Clinton supporters, be aware and stay strong.

If certain persons are going to post under various names and email addresses pretending to be multiple people than at least have the common sense to change your writing style a bit. The guy (s)/gal(s) advocating an Obama/Kansas govenor ticket is a good example.

It was a good speech. It does and will not instantly convert those hardcore HRC supporters. Obama will have to do that. or McCain may be doing/saying something outrageous.

I continue to astounded at the politically stupid things HRC and BRO do at the worst possible time. Letting the press see you going to the links before someone with over 17 million votes and a lot of still bitter supporters endorses you probably wasn't the most savvy thing to do. It just re-enforcesthe direspect complaints.

Hillary supporters need to turn to McCain's side. We do not need a a person who lacks foreign relations and armed services experience to represent us around the world.

He's pretty much saying to our enemies

Obama (Oh Bomb Us)

How can anyone rationally say that the election was "stolen" from Hillary? With the exception of the 120+ advantage she had among the super delegates, she has been behind from the get-go. Popular vote doesn't count because several states use the Caucus system.

No one is entitled to the Presidency!

I agree with David Rivera ! Hillary for President.We can only hope a scandal brings Obama down.Surely he has had an affair,his wife looks meaner than dirt.

Everyone who supported Hillary, "Please get over all the negative attitudes"! Stop being bitter. We all have love for Hillary even "Obama supporters". But you do not show that love in competition. So please, stop trying to influence people with your negative blasphemies!!!

To Spring For your information Obama saw Hillarys speech on the computer in the car on his way to play golf. So next time please get the facts straight, and as far as popular vote goes they did not count the caucous states as if those states didnt matter, so if you count those states he actually won the popular vote, so please get facts straight.

Stop with the golf comments—-he was trying to give her an unobstructed walk in the sun. It was polite……what he was expected to do. And you know that.

Nice speech……sorta. It would be a lot easier to praise her for trying to heal the rift in the party if she hadn't created it.

Michael -

"Do you really think Obama would have gotten this far if he was not capable or qualified? "

This is exactly what many were saying about Geo. W. Bush when he was running in 2000 against McCain for the Republican nom. and you see what we got?

Obama is to the Democrats what Bush was to the Republicans!

NEVER vote for Obama, you will be sorry. As many Repubs are sorry for their support for Bush. Learn from their mistake.

Stop with the Golf thing. So ridiculous! If he was at the speech you would have said he was stealing her moment. If he wasnt at it you would complain he shows no respect for women. You sound like a bunch of hens. If there is any gender bias you are the reason for it with posts like that.

So let me get this right… Some of the immature Clinton supporters are upset because Obama took a vacation after a 16 month grueling campaign? Man, what a horrible guy?

How do you people know that he didn't listen to Clinton's speech? They have these devices known as radios. They also may have, just may have discussed what she was going to say in their hour long meeting? Perhaps?

Both sides need to grow up. Immature Obama supporters… we need the Clinton supporters come November. Stop berating or calling them horrid names.

And to the Clinton supporters who want to vote for McCain. That is your choice, but you have to remember what you are getting with McCain. Roe vs Wade WILL be overturned under a McCain administration after he gets to appoint 2 supreme court justices. Do you really want to lose your right to choose ladies? McCain WILL attack Iran. Do you want to lose a few thousand more good men and women in another needless war? Can your conscience really take knowing that you voted for the man who was responsible for those few thousand lives? I know mine wouldn't be able to and I hope we can all come to our senses.

Good for Hillary. Now her supporters need to look at the big picture and follow her example. To vote for McCain just because your candidate lost the nomination is childish. This country needs a change in direction and that is NOT McCain.

It saddens me everytime I read that a Democrat would rather support McCain than their parties candidate. While each individual is entitled to vote their convictions… but Republicans and Democrats want different things… I don't understand how a true supporter of Clinton could possibly support someone that is against everything she is for.

I think the most poignant point she made in the speech was that in the 4 decades she's been involved in politics, there've been only 3 terms of Democrats. That'll be 12 years to 28 for the Republicans. That's a lot of years of voting against our own interests. How much more obvious could it be?

The Dems were blessed with 2 historic candidates this year. Don't squander this opportunity to elect one of them, to elect another Republican. The war, the economy, environment, our future, is at stake. Don't squander this opportunity to change the direction of our country.

I say to David Rivera, "it will be a cold day down there" if you don't support the democrat party. And Mr. David Rivera, "that man" you referred to is Sen. Barack Obama and respectfully I'm sure he would not refer to you in the same manner. And Hillary in her wisdom has chosen to support Barack Obama because she is a democrat first and she graciously asked for your support to do the same. Raise the bar.

Spring – Obama has been working *tirelessly* for 16 months…he had some r and r already planned with his fam; give the guy a break!

Thank you Michael in Glendale Arizona…I think most Hillary Clinton supporters will find that their values are more important than their feelings of loss. We must stand united against the war, for alternative energy, against reliance on oil, for *real* education reform, universal healthcare, equality, women's rights, gay rights, and on and on and on.

Personally, I'd like to see Hillary as Secretary of State — I think that's a very honorable position and would allow her to use her impressive leadership skills.

Obama went golfing and planned no public appearances to respect Hillary and give her and her supporters the stage, For all the women who vote for McCain, line up your children and grandchildren for the draft – bombing is always the answer. Hillary powerfully and graciously conceded. There was nothing wrong with the process until Hillary lost AND most importantly, the Michigan unofficial primary was found to be "flawed"so Hillary didn't win the popular vote, the most states, or the most delegates. I was for Hillary but I am not going to sit here and have our country ruined, our homes lost, our young men and women killed in war because of McSame. Besides, if you stay behind her she is certain to win in 2016 – we can have 16 years of decent government "for the people" not "for the rich". Vote Obama -08

Thanx Hilary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary controlled her supporters misleading them that she is going to win and didn't bother to tell them the math is against her. Now she is dealing with a huge mess after too late. Let her go back to Arkansa and retire there with Bill.
This is exactly how they could have controlled this country and mislead people with wrong information. I can not wait to have my country back after what I went through the last 8years. After all two families occupied the white house the last 28years and may be we could have done alot with other smart people with fresh ideas.

I lost my cousin because I voted for bush and now I have learnt my lesson…………………….

McCain didn't read the intelligence report before the invasion (nor did Clinton); Obama did–he is one of a tiny minority of people who took time to read it.

McCain voted for the war (as did Clinton); Obama argued against it. He has consistently said it was an unnecessary, unjust war.

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST MCCAIN TO SECURE OUR NATION HE VOTED TO SEND 4100 AMERICANS TO THERE DEATH. WHY DID HE VOTE THIS WAY? JUST TO AGREE WITH BUSH, AND VOTE JUST THE WAY BUSH TOLD HIM?

Bush, McCain, GOP and CLINTON voted to send 4100 troops to there death and for what? That is the real story here!

1. Is Iran stronger or weaker since Bush/McCain’s invasions of Iraq?

2. Has Osama bin Laden been killed or captured since Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

3. Are we paying more for gas now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

4. Is our economy better of now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

5. Is the White Houses creditability better now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

6. Is the budget deficit higher now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

7. Is the Middle East more peaceful now or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

8. Do we have more American Solders dead or before Bush/McCain’s invasion of Iraq?

HMMM my post didnt show up, Probably because i used the word fools, better then the names us Hilary democrats for McCain are being called.

Hillary supporters that act like spoiled children are completely missing the point. WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE, end of story.

If these psychophants don't get their heads out of their you-know-what soon, they'll make sure we have NO democrat in the white house and here's what's at stake:

More war: Enter, the draft. All you men and women crying about Obama need to remember that your children, YOUR CHILDREN may very well wind up in Iran or Iraq during another GOP term. YOU STILL WANT TO SHUN OBAMA?

Economy continues to stink: The rich get richer and poor get poorer. Fact of life in a GOP white house. Enjoy your long stands in the unemployment, food stamp, gas pump and welfare lines over the next 4 years in another GOP white house. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, we get McBush in the white house because crybabies like YOU couldn't think straight after Hillary lost the nomination. Could you grow up please?

Oh, this gets even better! Supreme courts justices? Ok, who the heck needs Roe v Wade anyway? Look forward to the oversexed youth of this country dying and getting mangled in back allies from dirty knives because YOU chose to put another GOP conservative in the white house instead of voting for OUR PARTY'S NOMINEE!

Go ahead — but when things in this country go from bad to worse, and you KNEW you could have voted for change and didn't I will personally hold YOU responsible. So will the rest of the world.

Sleep well my fellow democrat….if you really ARE one!

I can tell you one thing. The talk about Hillary as VP needs to stop. If you are going to go on hard core about it then you at least have to know one reason it cannot happen so you can just get past it. This is as true as the sky is blue so to be informed you need to know. Look on Youtube for Hillary Uncensored. It is about Paul V Clinton. She knows full well she cannot be offered the position becasue of just this one thing so you all need to stop pushing it. Her role is going to be on the stump and that is that. If Obama does not win i can tell you that we WILL blame Hillary and it will be a cold day in hell that she gets the Dem nomination. Its up to you. You cannot say you support Hillary and then go against what she specifically told you today. As i suspect most of the posters who are still claiming to be Hillary and are still anti Obama are just idiot Republican posers who think they are so smart and are going to influence our party. WE WILL NOT BE DIVIDED AND MCSAME WILL LOSE IN A LANDSLIDE. So many Repubs who are scared to death right now. If only they turned off Rush and Savage and Fox Spew they might learn what is best for this country.

The popular vote was disputable, Mr. Rivera. Think about your country, not yourself.

We all expected this "we was robbed" business, didn't we?
Latino Democrats like David Rivera never accepted Obama
as a legitimate candidate and never will. Let them vote for
McCain. Hasta La Vista, baby!

I'm with you, David. It will be McCain for me in November.

I was proud to be a woman a black 65 year old woman. Hillary made history although she did not wind the race she open doors that once was locked to women. I did not support Hillary, my first choice was John Edwards and later Barack Obama. I am very proud of Hillary I always have been.What ever she decides to do next I am sure that it will be a trail blazer that's what she do.

to those who would vote for McCain, don't cut off your nose to spite your face. We all need help now another four years of Bush will destroy Americans. Vote with you mind and not your heart.

HRC will be president one day. CNN I hope you are now happy that you have crowned your prince. Lets see what happens in NOV. Do not underestimate the power of women. This nomination was stolen from HRC just like Bush stole from Gore.
Lets just see what happens.

I suspect there will be those who will not support Obama no matter what simply because they aren't ready to support a non-white for presidency anyway. However, most of Clinton's supporter are democrats first and were supporting her because they believed she represented their democratic ideal better (needless to say Obama supporters believed the same about their candidate), and therefore they will not vote for someone ( McCain) that is in total contrast to their ideals. Let's not get too excited about negative comments now, and instead let's allow time to do its healing job–it always does. Ultimately, each and everyone of us we will have to vote with our conscience–with what we think will be good for our people, country , and humanity at large.

As expected, Sen. Clinton delivered a remarkable speech with utmost generosity and promise to support the Fall Election for Sen. Obama. I think her message was more of a serious and sincere alliance than just a formal endorsement.

I also hope Sen. Clinton will continue her remarkable engagement in politics with her relentless commitment to change this country from its long history of discrimination, unfairness, and prejudice to a new land of opportunity and equality for everyone in real sense.

Look out Democrats the Republicans are still playing Operation Chaos because they know their are going to lose in Novemeber. Guess what Republicans, you need to worry about old man, McCain and stop worrying about Hillary and Obama. ROTHLMAO

To spring: So while Obama waited 4 days for her to concede, he was supposed to be there? She didn't treat him appropriately when he won the nomination. His victory was way more historic on Tuesday and she could have done better by him. Either way, they have both worked hard and they deserve a rest. I'd like to see the average American do what they did for the last 16 months and stil have their sanity. Obama spent 10 days with his family last year and you have the nerve to criticize him for golfing? Don't hate. Appreciate.

You better believe it's going to be a cold day there before this typical white guy votes for Obama. Already DENOUNCED my Democratic party and have a McCain sign in my yard!!

I really hope we can all come together now and support Obama.

McCain is a pro-life, senile, warmonger, and he would be the worst thing for America, for our children, for our economy, for our future. McCain is a mistake.

If you respect Hillary and everything she stands for help us put a democrat in the white house.

what does Hillary want? To control the country and wait for her to do things at her own time.
Thank God we live in a free world where we can stop two dynasties that have controlled our country the last 30 years!

I'm Hillary supporter. There's no way I'm going to support for Obama. I'm so disappointed with the DNC party . It's time to change party affiliation. DNC annointed Obama as their nominee. DNC leaders , you must be dreaming; people might vote Democrats for congress and elect McCain as the President. We'll show you DNC superdelegates how disappointed are we!

In response to the Clinton crossovers to McCain…..if the reason for it is based on the fact that experience is a major factor..GREAT..thats also my reason. I do not dislike Obama…He does have a thin resume and I feel Clinton is the stronger candidate. I agree with Hill4Perez…you don't promote the mailroom clerk to the CEO position no matter how bright he or she may be…they would have to season their qualifications and gain valuable experience as time goes by…I simply feel McCain has more experience and is more qualified than he is at this time. Obama may have vast potential just like that new grad starting his way up the ladder…but I just can't promote him to the highest position in the country even if his views are similar to Hillary's!

.
What do Clinton and McCain have in common… NOTHING!

Why would people be so dumb as to say they would support the complete oposite?

Anyone who is a Democrat would never support Bush/McCain

I'm just wondering if people are really that self centered?

David Rivera has the right idea, there is no way I will ever vote for an unqualified candidate whose resume could be printed on a postcard just because the DNC thinks it has latched onto the MTV set.

SPRING GET OFF THE BLOG. He was very grateful on tuesday for everything Clinton has done. Do you think she was listening to him? Spare me you garbage attitude. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS NO TIME OR SPACE FOR THIS SILLINESS.

America needs to change even if it causes civil war we need change.

The national nightmare will continue.

Look how many people still support McBush jr and this Bush crime family.

Mcwar is almost as popular as Obama or Hillary.

No the national nightmare will be over when most Americans come to terms with what they have become after decades of conditioning by the capitalist media and the industrial military complex.

Capitalism will warp the minds of its citizens with greed and desires for imperialism.

The nightmare continues until most Americans repent for their imperialism and war mongering.

Mcwar bombed men women and children and we called him a war hero.

I don’t see the nightmare ending any time soon we prefer to blame our politicians

Hey spring – Do you know that Obama is spending 1 weekend with his family? Yes, he's playing a round of golf to unwind. But he's also having a date nite with his wife, and it's his daughter's birthday – they are having a sleepover with the girl's friends. That's a good dad, a good husband. Good lord-the race JUST finished! I like Hillary, too. But let's face it, she lost because her campaign was run into the ground by Mark Penn and yes, her husband. Plus, it was horribly managed financially. They had no plans after Super Tuesday.

If people want to complain about the popular vote, then complain that we need to change the system. Like it or not, Obama played by the rules the candidates were presented with. You can't chaneg in the middle, that's not right.

Thanks Maria, women like you can change a man's wrong opinion.

David – Vote your interests. If you truly supported Hillary because of her policies, they are no different from Obamas; unless your are one those people who will not support him because he is different. In which case you need not vote.

a vote for McCain is a vote for making this country into a third world nation–Bush started it–McCain will finish the U.S.

Hillary did not win the popular vote. How can people believe that kind of stuff she's spewing out of pure desperation? Counting Michigan, a flawed primary, but not counting caucus states where EVERYONE had a fair shot is beyond ridiculous

Isn't it time the nasty things that are being said stop!!! Leave Hillary alone. It is the supporters that are going to destroy the unity. If you don't want to vote for Obama just say that. Stop the nasty comments. If you don't want Hillary for VP just make that statement. We are getting tired of the nastys, and that goes for the media also.

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, ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF VOTERS, WILL RATHER SEE MCCAIN WIN THE ELECTION THAN A LIAR AND A HYPOCRITE. "CHANGE"??? YOU MEAN, "CHANGE' THIS COUNTRY'S SITUATION FROM BAD TO WORSE, RIGHT? OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS ARE IDIOTS, FOLLOWING HIM AND SWOONING OVER HIM, DYING TO TOUCH HIM AND SWOON AGAIN, NEVER TO QUESTION ALL THE CONTROVERSY THAT SURROUNDS HIM.

My kids loves Obama and can not wait to see him being the next president of United states.

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!

Hillary Clinton will needs to prove she is serious about be Obama running mate. She needs to show some humility. To start needs to apologize for her vote on the Iraq war. She needs to make a pledge not to accept federal PAC’s and lobbyist funds.

Those disgruntled Hillary supporters need to get on board or just go to McCain . You will regret it in the end, when you are paying 12.00 gallon at the pump.

Stand tall against fixed elections and hatred and injustice.

Do not vote for those that trashed and bashed Hillary.

Do not vote for those that demeaned other Americans and threw filth and vulgarity at fellow democrats.

Okay, so Hillary said support Obama, what the DNC thinks we are all sheep? No way maybe you should check out Hillary's site, the people are speaking and the word is "RAIN McCAIN!!" If our votes are ignored by the DNC then screw it, McCain wins my vote!! HILLARY 2012, MCCAIN 2008! Obama can't win us, we don't want him! He has only been a senator for 1 term! AND SIXTEEN MONTHS OF THAT HAS BEEN THIS CAMPAIGN!!!! He is underqualified and I won't vote for him, my husband won't vote for him nor my friends and family. Out of about 1000 dems I know personally anly 15 are for him. You think you seem enlightened to vote for a black man, but someone who doesn't have the experience and capablility to do the job shouldn't win even if he's purple. SO RAIN MCCAIN, watch the polls you'll see, we don't want BO! and how dare he put up a new front page on Hillary's site, oin BO and contribute, tracking us? Track this most are switching over to MCCAIN!

Democrats 08

Once again, I am both stunned by the hypocrisy of Clintonites saying Obama's campaign was negative (???) and saddened by the baltant racism of so many of her supporters.

Get over it folks. The world is leaving you behind….

obama is an empty suit as far as policys.He is a good orater as is any slick fast talking salesman. The only reason he has gotten this far is people are afraid to question him and his liberal policies for fear of being called a rascist and that is how the general election will be run. I am not rich I work hard for a living but Iam not standing at the government bread line .I"d rather starve first. So go vote for obama thats all this generation knows is what can i get for free without working for it

I don't believe that McCain=Bush as the kids are saying. I've watched John McCain for the better part of two decades and I like what I've seen. I've know about Obama since last January and I'm not very impressed by his actual accomplishments. It is possible that Obama would be a great president, but its much more likely that he'd be another Jimmy Carter. Now is not the time to take that chance. John McCain is a known quantity who HAS worked on a bi-[artisan basis to get things done. McCain/Fiengold, McCain/Kennedy are two major ones. I don't remember any major policy inititves from Obama. Oh and lobbyists only account for 3% of the DNC's contributions. Will Nancy Pelosi also follow Obama's orders since over 55% or her money comes from lobbyists. I'm not holding my breath on that one. So much for "reforming' the dem party. What a phony.

You haters, give me a break, she should have done that speech the night he got the nomination, why should he wait around for her speech. Its good she finally made it.. Just like others I have no illusions, there are people who will not vote for Senator Obama because of their deeply held bias, or some other make up excuse, rather than say that, they say, Clinton only, he have no experience. Bush had experience, Chaney had experience and where are we. So if you want to stay home or vote for Mccain, good riddence you are a hinderance to the Democratic party and need to leave, I am ready for a change.

I vote my conscience and the haters do not gain my nod of approval.

I am a DEMOCRATIC and I am going to look ahead in unity and like Hillary said support Obama as President because we can't allow a Repubican to take the White House. If we care about Hillary we will put are difference aside and help elect Obama to be the President.

Unless Obama puts Hillary on the ticket as VP, my vote will go to McCain. I want someone with experience. If McCain puts Connie Rice or Colin Powell on the ticket as VP, he's sure to win.

Shame on Obama for playing golf as Hillary went on the record to support him. It shows his lack of respect to her and to the 18 million Democrats who voted for her. The Democrats made a grave mistake in selecting him as the Party's nominee and they deserve to lose. I do not want the people who ran the Democratic primaries running this country. Hillary was their only saving grace. The reason the Democrats keeping losing the Presidency is because they have so many stupid people running the party.

As an Independent with no political affiliation, I would have liked an opportunity to vote for Hillary as President, she truly was the best candidate. Now that I no longer have that option, the Republicans with McCain look better than the Democrats with Obama. The fact is…John McCain isn't George Bush, but Barack Obama is Barack Obama.

Please democrate please unite in one divided we fell so we can change the democratic face to our side please.

Wonderful speech from Hillary. Good hard fought primary. It really shows you that these "Clinton Supporters for McCain" are nothing but Republicans!

Example: Hillary Supporter

"He could not even give her the respect due, instead he plays golf. That just shows how much he thinks he is above her 18 million supporters.. I will NEVER vote for him and his fanatics. My supoort and money are going to his oposition."

Obama stands for 95% of what Hillary stands for…. this person will vote for McCain who stands for the opposite of what Hillary stands for! McCain evn voted to IMPEACH Bill. Obama will represent the 18 MIL that voted for him and the 18 MIL that voted for Hillary! Together they will change Washington.

This person is just an example of Republicans who lie and spread hate.

The choice is clear this Fall.

Senator Obama was *golfing* during Hillary's speech? Can he say anything louder and ruder against her supporters? The arrigants of this guy is why I will never vote for him. that and his lack of experience outside of all the campaining (sounds more like BUSH everyday)

Look, Hillary had no choice but to concede. As a leader, she had to stand for the party. But, we do not. We still are independent thinkers and voters who were lied to by main stream media, and disenfranchised by the democratic party. We had our candidate stolen from us while they bludgeoned her and disrespect the race of women allowing sexist comments and white racial slurs to be the winner of the day. This is what will be proven in history, not some historical nomination of a black man. He simply didn't win within the honor of popular choice, but rather back room slimy policy and politicts. I would vote for a black man, I honestly didn't see color until this face and Obama's own chuches hatred towards whites as well as white women. Think about it…Everyone is so glad to announce a nominee…named Obama. But he slid into it by the vote of the super delegates with the position that he had more delegate votes. Ok, what about the popular vote and the ability of one candidate to be stronger in the general election? These are to be their consideratoins and it none of these things matter to them. Watch where the super delegate end up in an Obama administration. You will see the back room dealings now being hidden with this phony dem announcement that they won't take "donations from lobby interests". What a joke and utter and complete hypocrits the democratic party has proven themselves to be.

It is too bad Obama won the nomination this way, as historically it will always be challenged. Popular vote of the people, vs. delegate lead, not majority vote representative of the people. That is how the REAL delegate vote counts. By those state delegates that represent the popular votes. However, Obama through his pursuit of caucus delegates, gained the lead. Most voters doesn't understand what this means. In my county, the Obama camp closed caucus doors after they had a majority of caucus attenders and controlled therefore, winning the caucus vote! Is this democracy? No, it is not.

The super-delegate vote that was added to Obama's overall delegate count is representative of the good ole' guy's back room decision of super-delegates and DNC negotiators. The super delegates were only created to decide a nomination to "insure" a nominee. With such a close race with two very strong nominees, the challenge on the convention floor would have been an election hosted by a democracy. This is a slimy, sloopy way to appoint a nominee is not representative of the popular and precious preference of the American voters.

We have a nominee chosen by super-delegates when a situation did not truly YET exist for them to make their decison for a candidate.

I feel bad for Obama…his historic nomination will forever be challenged if a proper examination is done how this nomination came about. Most Americans do not understand the delgate process, the caucus process and just exactly what the DNC allowed to happen as well as supported in this nomination. They will forever live with disgrace when the millions of voters throughout America figure out what truly has taken place.

“I will work my heart out to make sure that Senator Obama is the next president, and I hope and pray that you will join me."

Without any doubt, HILLARY SUPPORTERS WHO WILL VOTE FOR McCAIN believe:
(1) she isn’t telling the truth or
(2) she is just for her party and doesn't care at all what happens to our country or
(3) she's so ignorant that she can’t figure out how bad Obama is

Their actions show how little respect they really had for her and how little they trust her.

Only Hill gets my vote.

If There is one thing I know about my sister Hillary Clinton Is that she is a DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a Democrat and follow her.

HillaryworkingforDemocratin 08

"… that man!" oh really? say what you really mean.

Like David Rivera it will be cold day in hell before I support noname. I will pull the lever for McCain in November if Hillary is not the nominee for the Democratic Party after Denver Convention. I'm not voting for the party, I am ELECTING a person BEST to lead this country, McCain is my second choice to lead this county, NONAME is at the bottom of the ocean in my lists.</b?

Cnn are really pushing for so called unity ticket I still belive that obama deserve the right to choose his own vp so please cnn and so called clinton supporters stop pushing this.

it's time to forget the past and move on……. we all need to come together and get rid of Mc Same and all his losers once for all….. Up Demos….

I couldn't agree more "In campaigns, there are winners, and there are losers,". The idea of supporting a thrid term of Bush in the form of McSame just because your candidate is not the nomine is very imature.

Would you all lay off the golf thing? You're just pitiful. OH NO, HE WENT GOLFING AND DIDN'T WATCH- OH GOD, THE HORROR, THE UTTER HORROR OF IT ALL. You guys make me sick. He’s going to come out in a day, or couple of hours, and say he DID watch/listen to the speech-but really who cares? Because its just another outlet for you screaming children to cry “he’s not experienced enough and look he's rude". Take a look around you're political climate, I want a candidate as far removed from current political "experience" as possible. He’s not going to run this country top to bottom, (duh) it’s called a cabinet. Remember what one of those is? My only hope is. 1. He doesn't pick Hillary as VP, and 2. He does pick some experienced, older, military-related individual to run with him- Just so it would sooth you sort-sighted, fear mongers with all your experience chatter!

Still a Democrat 08′

No more Clintons, No More Bushes, No more dynasties. After all this country has 309million people and are smart to have other families rule.
I am always 100 percent satisfied with Obama. After all his campaign is very well organized!

It was a great speech. She did what was expected of her. Obama shows his true self by not even bothering to watch. Shameful, but then again, he's been this way all along. Clinton didn't, and shouldn't have conceded the very next second after last Tuesday's primary results. That's ridiculous, but you can't tell that to the Obama love-fest members.

Don't worry Hillary. We are still with you. I will not throw my support behind a fraud like Obama. You will be on the ticket or I go for McCain.

Sorry Junior. You can't have it both ways. You can't bash Clinton for months and then turn nice to her supporters. You treated this experienced, intelligent lady and her supporters like dirt. We won't forget that.

Well, Hillary, you said it: 'This isn’t exactly the party I’d planned, but I sure love the company.'
I tell you you don't loose company! Go, fight him in the White House. Me and many in Europe would like to see that. Thank you.

some Clinton supporter need to get a grip. Obama went to play golf. Most likely, he took some time to watch the speech on the golf course. He showed her tremendous amount of respect by staying out of the spotlight and letting her have her day. Stop trying to find problems when there is none! They met the other night and got all of the details together. It was probably planned for him to stay away from the cameras and media. Allot people seem to think the worst. GROW UP! STOP WHINING! Every tme Obama does something you think he is up to something. The same goes for Obama supporters when Hillary does something. Many of you need a PACIFIER! When it goes and stays in your mouth, the rest of us can move on to focus on winning the general electon.

I love you Hillary.

But do not expect me to vote for the puppet who was fragged, limping and bleeding, across the finish line by the party, the DNC, the supers and the media.

They trumpet the FALSE leader.

I can not vote for the imposter

It's important to remember that it is still early, and there are still open wounds. It will take a while to heal. I am an Obama supporter, and if he had lost, I would be feeling the same way!! I wouldn't go so far as to support McCain though. NEVER NEVER. Time will only tell what happens.

I do feel that Hillary gave a powerful speech today. It did bring tears to my eyes. For me, when she said "Yes We Can" I clapped. Kudos Senator Clinton. You have redeemed yourself in my eyes.

On another note though, as Hillary was getting ready to give her speech, the McCain camp came out with a memo noting all of the negative points that Hillary has said against Obama. What an old coot. I hope he does not succeed in dividing us further.

Older Women for Obama, 08

"It will be a cold day…before he decides to support that man"!? What kind of backwards mentality is that? The democrats have a nominee – support him! Duhhh..

Hillary gave a good speech that will go a long way torwards healing and unity within the democratic party. True democrats like Maria understand that in an election a candidate other than your chose has an equal chance of winning.

For those who are threatening to vote for McCain goodluck, it's your democratic right, don't let the door hit you on your way out.

OK, let's try this again:

Hillary did not win the popular vote. She claims she won the popular vote by counting all of MI (none for Obama), all of FL ( he wasn't allowed to campaign, and therefore she had a huge advantage) and NO CAUCUS STATES.

How can you even back her on that.

She was not robbed of this nomination. Obama played by the rules, and won based on the rules. Any other metric is not valid. Delegates, period. Now if you think it should be different moving forward, then get the rules changed BEFORE the nomination starts.

And finally, some IDIOTIC Hill fan threw out this arbitrary factoid. My guess every Hillary fan will be quoting this guy for months to come. Why, they are dumb and just repeat what they hear.

The quote was "30% of Dems will not vote for Obama":. OK genius, if you are going to throw out fake numbers, why not go with 80%. Ya thats the ticket, 80% of all dems, no strike that, 80% of the worlds population won't vote for Obama".

Obama will win, no matter who you, not so bright HRC fans vote for. Go vote for McCain. It won't stop Obama.

David Rivera and people like him are just narrow minded and sore losers. Hillary did not win the popular vote like she says. She got almost 18K votes. That is less than what Barack Obama got plus the nomination. 18K+ in popular vote for Obama and the delegates that counted in the primary. It;s time now for the party to come together for November.

Hillary made mistakes and she/they lost the nomination. Her supports are hard losers that don't know when to stop and support.

Washington, D.C.

Maria and Hillary do have something in common. Bitter spouses.

Will vote for McCain, never for the sexist whose strings are being pulled by the Democratic Liberals…they do not represent me.

Democrats should vote for democrats that share the same values and Barack Obama shares Clintons Values. Maybe David just finds himself having trouble voting for an African American!!!

Obama!!

i agree..changing your views just because the nominee is different is weak..if hilary was the nominee i still vote for her because i dnt want another 8 yrs of george w bush..if you think george w bush is bad try mccain

June 7th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

I watched the speech. My impression was she did what she had to -but just barely. Most of it was about her, which is understandable. There were many opportunities to go the extra mile – like when she was talking about single mothers, she could have pointed out that Obama understands their problems because he was raised by one. I suppose only time will tell how sincere she is about uniting her supporters behind Obama.

No more Karl Rove in this country. He was helping Hillary destroy Obama till NC and IN primary which Obama was close enough and never bowed out.

Obama 08/12 all the way!

My vote was for Hillary.

It will not go to the imposter who manipulated the press and strong-armed at caucus, and stole the votes and was dragged across the finish line by the party and he superdelegates.

End this injustice.

i agree…changing your views just because the nominee is different is weak..if hilary was the nominee i still vote for her because i dnt want another 8 yrs of george w bush..if you think george w bush is bad try mccain

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.

……. ******** UNITY fo AMERICA ******** ……..

……………… This is our most important goal …………

I'm sure Obama has a very good spot in his cabinet for her – one which will not have her "in his shadow".

She can be Supreme Court Justice, head up HHS and Insurance, or any number of other great spots.

McShame would give her the boot. Obama will give her the room to shine – as she will shine.

Hillary's only suspending her campaign so she can continue to raise money to pay off that $20-$30 million campaign debt. She won't cause a ruckus in Denver, no matter how much her supporters PRAY she will.

Too Late.

Obama ran a hypocritical campaign of unity while stirring up hate and agitating division.

I can not allow them to force me to vote for the lesser, lying, cheating, hateful candidate- JUST because he is a so-called Democrat.

Hillary has spoken. She sees the big picture. She is sad she didn't win the nomination, but she knows that the Democrats MUST win this fall.

If you don't want to vote Democratic, then don't. But vote Nader or Paul.
Don't vote McCain. He will ruin your rights and he will continue to pander to fat corporate cats that only want one thing from you. Your money.

Quit whining and do the right thing. Vote Democratic.

Here at the Texas Democrats State convention in Austin Texas, I had opportunity to meet with some of senator Hillary Clinton loyal and supportors. They are in it to wiwn for the Democratic Party. I share some great convesation and we all had a great time..

We had surprise visit by Chelsea Clinton, she was really nice…..

Senator Clinton speech was really nice, the rest is up to us democrats to continue the conversation and work togather and support all Democrats and change Texas fron Red to Blue and keep the message Senator Clinton was saying a live and kickin…

Thank you, Senator Clinton for being a great lady, first lady, Senator, Mother, wife and friend…

We Love you here in Texas,,,,,,

I will write Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November. While I can appreciate the need for Hillary to unite us, my needs are to vote for the person I believe is the best person, and that person is still Hillary Clinton.

I watched Hillary Clinton's speech today and with mixed feelings was proud of her accomplishments yet disappointed in her decision to go forth with her plan to support Barack Obama. I was a supporter of hers and had hoped she would stand up to Obama, but sadly she has caved in to the now corrupted Democratic party. She gave it a good try but it seems that she is going to carry on with the ultra liberal agenda of the DNC and Barack Obama. Bill Clinton was not a perfect man but to his great credit he was a great president and political centrist who made our democracy work for the good of all Americans. Hillary has always been more liberal than him so I guess it's no surprise that she would stand up and support Barry. Oh Well!

God is always good and he has a plan for the world that he will reveal in His time. My vote will go for John McCain in 2008.

People are clueless that think somehow if they refuse to vote for Obama…will somehow extract "revenge" for Clinton losing. Rules are rules…it is what it is. Get over it and move forward.

Besides why are these angry people such fanatical about Clinton? Obama and Clinton share almost identical viewpoints on all the major issues. Obama just felt stronger about diplomacy and distancing himself from lobbyists. Other than that they have really the same views….so what's the big deal?

i'm with david rivera!!!

obama and the dnc made sure how this election would turn out by stealing it from her…

I, as a Clinton supporter will not vote for McCain but will, for the first time in almost 4 decades, NOT VOTE in the upcoming election….

but then again….everything is subject to change….

I can move forward. Right over to John McCain! I want experience, thank you, and I want someone who got there fair and square. Howard Dean wanted his job, and he kept it by doing what it took to overcome the popular vote. Just eliminate two entire states. Whatever it takes, right Howard?

I won't be back to the Democratic Party until they stop acting like back room thugs in $2,000 suits. I respect Hillary Clinton and what she's accomplished, but I just can't do this.

I just unsubscribed from the DNC and let them know why. No way I'm supporting this party in this election.

Women are more mature than men, aren't they…..

David Rivera is a moron. Obviously he hasn't been paying attention to the campaign. Obama didn't steal the nomination from Hillary and nor was she entitled to it.

Get real David, and get a life.

The haters drove me out of the party.

I honor Hillary by standing against the methodology of hate and manipulation and unfairness that eliminated her from the race.

No to corruption.

No to Obama

I would think that the bottom line, or common cause, will override the personal emotions that have a tendency to undermine the overall objective. When one speaks to voting for someone else, in another party no less, because of A, B, or C, then what we have is an absolute failure of our democratic system and its true intent as it applies to our form of government today. We are willing to allow a failed system to continue because of emotions that are unwilling to look to the larger and more positive picture in the future. This is unfortunate and sad; I would hope that we are all above this, for a common goal. America's plight, at this date, is much bigger than all of us. And as America goes, so goes much of the world. Whoever the President will be in January 2009, let's pray that they will be sound in judgement and will surround himself with people of integrity, strong character, the knowledge and courage to make the tough decisions, and have the American peoples best interest at heart. All the best.

Right on, Michael from Glendale AZ. A vote for McCain is against everything Hillary Clinton stands for. If her supporters are true for her, they will vote democrat in November.
Obama '08

spring ,

What the man can't take a day off? He and his wife are hosting a sleepover for their daughter tonight. Is that a problem for you too?

Get a grip on yourself.

this is CNN lamenting for their queen,
the 6000 people who are angry and the ones contracted by Lanni davis is not the whole country..

she is cnn queen,
she waited so many days to acknowledge not only the historical mark, but also recognize he won fair and square, unlike her..

it is sad that cnn continues to focus on her, when we are making history,

when we have an election coming up,
when our country is divided
when our country is at war
when our childrne are behind in education
when we have debts

when we are in a huge mess,

CNN keeps brining billary, it is about her her her

narcissistic if you ask me

Clinton National News………..for billary

it is over..

Thank you Hillary! Great speech and we welcome your support and love for our party!

Come on Obama supporters………………… let's welcome Hillary supporters who wants to join us!!!

Obama!

Time for the SECOND best—

No NOT Obama.

Hatred has its consequences.

Let’s all unite?
Let’s all come around our rightful nominee??

Here’s a little something for the DNC:

And here’s another little something:

Let’s help put Alaska Gov Sarah Palin as McCain’s VP! She’s brilliant…she’s honest…and she’s a straight talker!

This Democratic Party doesn’t speak for me!!!

McCainocrat

This advice is for Spring and the guy in the article from Baltimore. Never Bring a Popular Vote to a Delegate Fight.

Stolen? Are you people mad. Obama won that game that was put forth – which is what the Clintons had talked about all along, "It is about the delegates." Only when she was losing did she make it about the people. It was partly due to her supporters on the rules committee that both FL and MI had their delegates stripped. So, you must at least realize the hypocracy of the words "it was stolen from her."

I would have said, if Hillary one, that it was stolen from Obama since Hillar would have only won due to super delegates and that would have been due to her popularity among the insiders, hence the same old back door politics.

Rivera, listen to your wife. She's obviously much brighter than you.

I'M A DIRE SUPPORTER OF HILLARY CLINTON. I WILL BE MOST GRATEFUL IF HILLARY DOES NOT ACCEPT VP WITH OBAMA .
IT WILL LOOK LIKE A GOOD IDEA BUT CONSIDERING WHAT SHE HAD TO LIVE WITH AT THE HANDS OF THE MEDIA, THE SPERDELEGATES, DNC WHO TIMED THEIR ENDORSEMENTS TO KILL HER BIG VICTORIES. I THINK THIS VP THING WILL PUT HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON IN A POSITION TO BE BLAMED FOR ANY MISTAKES BY OBAMA OR HIS GOIVERNMENT. SHE SHOULD REST AND WATCH THINGS DEVELOP. SHE CAN RUN AGAIN, EVEN AGAINST OBAMA IN 2012,. IF HE WERE ELECTED AND IS DOING BADLY.
IT IS A BAD IDEA.
HILLARY SUPPORTER ALWAYS,,,

She said what she had to say, BUT DIDN'T MEAN IT….she's still into the ME nonesense…the Clinton's spin machine is hoping Barak will take one little slip, then you'll see her pop out of the bushes and say…..I'LL TAKE OVER…ME ME ME PLEASE.

Can never condone the cruel and harsh treatment of Hillary.

I can not give tacid approval to hate, unfairness and bias.

The DEMS are dead to me.

For those of you who don't know, Obama had a business appointment when he was playing golf. It was a attempt to get relif from the media, while they talked business. It's common, happens all of the time.

David Revira, of Baltimore,

Just listen to his words "It will be a cold day down there before I support……that man"

This man would have NEVER voted for an African American!!!
Not even if HELL FREEZES OVER! This man is just one example of the hate that some Americans feel towards African Americans.

Thank God he is among the minority of Americans.

Please do not judge Barack for playing golf. That is petty. Her had agreed that it was Hillary's day and he knew what her speech was about. Beside there are no confirmed reports that he did not see it.
Thank you Hillary for allowing me to rebuild some respect for you today!

i would have went golfing too. She was pose to make this speech tues night. out of all the candidates that has dropped out she has left with a bang. WTH!!!! She is not to be trusted, Obama will take his time and i pray that he pick someone else besides her. If he "want" the women vote, then he can pick some one else better than Hillary. That's not hard. besides not all 18 million of Hillary supporters aren't ignorrant. They will think with their heads not their emotions. And those who will vote against your beliefs are just silly. People blowing steam now, but in Nov. Senator Obama would be the next great President of the USA!!!!!!!!

Pssss…….. dude need to listen to his wife, his wife sounds like she got a good head on her shoulders

I just wanted to say how enthused and informed I feel from the regular input from David Gergen…he should have his own program!

These politicians look human when they want us to elect them then they use our kids to take the country to war and never commit their kids to be in the military. I don't feel for Hillary as a woman. I just want my country back!

With Hill gone… I'm leaving the DEMs.

Check into a write in campaign.

It may not be possible. Some states won't count the write ins. Some will default to the nominee of that party.

If you can't write her in and be counted- do not let it count for Obama- but vote McCain.

I want Hillary as write in- and should have the freedom to cast my ballot for her.

As we learned in 2000, the popular vote is not the measure. What determines the winner is the rules. I do feel sorry for Senator Clinton and her supporters. They ran a heck of a race and did a wonderful job. I agree with the pundits when they say that if she and her campaign would have started out as strongly as they finished, she probably would have succeeded in securing the nomination. But that didn't happen, and nobody stole anything. This is the outcome of a process based upon the rules.

Now, I'm sure some people will continue to pout and grouse — but as we saw today, Senator Clinton will not be in that camp. We have a chance to do more than just make history in November, we have the chance to restore hope in America both here at home and around the world. Given that opportunity, there is no time for grousing.

Man these republicans trolls are pretty good, they always get the first comment on every story, take spring for example.

CNN, Why do you like these "couple divided" stories so much? David and Maria sound like a sweet couple, but is this really supposed to reflect anything that is happening in our party? Millions like me are the Democrats who know exactly what will happen if we let the tightly wound fanatical hate-mongers (the “Lunatic Left”) who worship Obama Almighty take control of our party. Go PUMA PAC!

Clintons are after themselves, that is why they didn't win, PERIOD!

It is time to support the Democratic nominee and put all of our efforts into beating McCain and taking back our White House! DEMOCRATS UNITE!

They killed the warrior with their hate and bias.

I will not reward them with my vote

I too supported Hillary, and I'm truly sorry she lost. However, for anyone who switches over to McCain is a vote AGAINST EVERYTHING that Hillary stands for.

Do you really think Obama would have gotten this far if he was not capable or qualified?

I hope that any Clinton supporters that say they will switch to McCain realize that it goes against everything Hillary stands for, and that it is really selfish, spiteful, petty, and childish.

I'm sorry Hillary lost, but I will NOT vote for more of the same policies and economic conditions that I have endured over the past 7 1/2 years under the Bush administration.

Hillary summed it up and she didn't blame Dean… get over the anger and unite! Hillary spoke clearly of her intention to fully support Obama .. if you are for Hillary you are for Obama. If you can't get past the way the party is run and the rules which govern it, start a campaign to change the DNC, but don't take it out on Obama and make the WORLD suffer through another 4 years of REPUBLICAN KOOK CONTROL.

It's over … it's time to move on.

Easy choice.

Never condone hate.

Never give a nod to destroying another human being with a campaign of hate and insults.

Stand for freedom and equality and fair elections.

Do not vote for Obama now

David – listen to your wife. She's a wise woman!

Obama waited for that speech for four good days and he had plans to take his wife for a date and his family. Which should not be interrupted by Hillary , Clintons and her supporters.
Obama is in control now not what Hillary want. Hillary is after her future prospects after learning she is not going to win but too bad it took 4days to realize that.

Go Obama!

While Hillary behaves like a lady, and a valiant one, Obama goes out for golf. He's starting to behave like Bush already. Wonder how many vacations Obama can squeeze in during a "working" year. He should choose her for a running mate, since 18 million+ people want her, not just moronic delegates. Hillary could show Obama how to act like a gentleman, how to say the Pledge of Allegiance, and how to choose friends…..
