I'm glad that Senators Clinton and Obama were able to meet. I'm sure in was a hard meeting for them both. Things were said in campaigning that were not true and/or at best misconstrued. I could give examples of both, but won't - at this point it does not matter. Either you were a diehard Clinton, a diehard Obama voter or somewhere in the middle. Hopefully the diehards on both sides can put aside their differences since Senator Obama is the nominee and come together without all the meaness - knowing that some of it on the blogs in coming from Republican pretending to be Democrats. Remember the old addage - divide and conquer. Because if you are a true Democrat - Senator McCain has nothing to offer and especially if you are voting out of spite. I know that if Senator Clinton had been the nominee - I would have voted for her without hesitation.

For those Hillary supporters who says that they will not vote for Obama in November, but will vote for McCain instead, you need to stop pouting. It's people like this is probably why Bush is in the White House in the first place because their candidate in 2000 & 2004 did not get the nomination. This only hurts you and the rest of us as well and it is very selfish. I will have voted for Democrat regardless of who was on the ticket, because I am a die-hard Democrat.

The time has come for us to unite this party and stop letting our personal feelings get involved. I'm sure that by the time November rolls around and you are paying $8 dollars a gallon for gas, homeless, jobless and hungry you will have a change of heart. If Hillary, your choice, can move on to unite the party, then you should too. It's time to stop the madness, hatred and name calling and take control to restore this country to the powerhouse it was once before.

For those of you conspiracy buffs trying to make mountains out of mole hills. Hillary suspended her campaign instead of quitting it, not so she can continue again if something happens to Obama, but so that she can continue to fundraise and hopefully not end up still $20 in debt.

Obama bought the nomination, his personal PAC The Hope Fund gave super delegates almost $1,000,000. I'm voting McCain

funny thing… while i know some heated words were used during the campaigns, they came from both sides. As for obama supporters calling hillary a B****, have you seen the youtube video where mccain is having a meeting with staffers and they refer to her as such? Thats not supporters, thats staffers, in mccain's presence. Still want to vote for him? Also, there are so many statements that are saying 'well i won't go for obama because his supporters are hateful and nasty'. Ok… when? where? not on this thread which either makes your statement irrelevant or, as i believe, you are republicans just trying to keep us fighting.

Obama must not take Hillary as his veep nominee. If he does she will have him rubbed out just like Vince Foster.

For HIllary supporters, the way to truly sabotage everything she stood for and gained in this campaign is to either stay home or vote for McCain. Why on earth would you want to do that to her?

Sorry, just can't cast a vote for Obama, that would be a vote for Michelle, and that's NOT acceptable.

Staying Home on election day!

All Democrats should get behind Obama and support him. If you look at history, women fought hard for the right to vote, not to put a woman in the White House, but to have a voice in whoever went to the White House, male or female. Someday, a good, strong, decent woman will win. Remarks like not voting for Obama because Hillary didn't win is childish, to say the least. Obama is our candidate and needs to be supported because if we get another Republican, we may as well direct deposit our paychecks directly to big businesses.

Correction. A much less divisive politics.

Obama is a socialist, look the word up and you'll find Obama's name.
Not what I want for my country.

Did I actually read a post that stated Hillary was "gang raped"? How sad to use such a violent and disgusting metaphor to describe her historic bid for the White House. It is amazing to me that some Americans are not willing to think for themselves and instead except the rhetoric of others to describe our next president. Hillary has always said she would campaign her heart out for Barack and now has asked her supporters to do the same. Yet instead of listening to her as was the case during the last 16 months, some have chosen to keep divisiveness and ignorance alive. I am sure she would never call those who fit into this catagory any of her true supporters.

Never Obama as President
Never Michell Obama as First Lady

this Hillary supporter can't wait to vote for McCain in November. If the Democratic Party thinks it can treat women and Hillary like they have and we'll just fall in line behind Obama, they are crazy. Not going to happen. Hillary is just being politically correct to support Obama. She does not respect him, and neither do 6 million Hillaryites.

I believe alot of nasty, mad, angry posting are Rush Limbaugh Republicans trying to divide the Democratic Party.

Please don't let the Republican's continue to ruin the country and the Democratic Party.

A 60 yr. old Republican w/female voting for Barack Obama.

YES WE CAN - WHEN WE UNITE.

For those HIllary supporters, the way to truly sabotage everything she stood for and gained in this campaign is to either stay home or vote for McCain. Why on earth would you want to do that to her?

True Democrats realize that the hate being spewed toward Obama is the product of the Republican dirty tricks machine.

Pay attention. The Republicans will spew hatred toward any Democrat who is seeking to move this county forward.

If Hillary were the nominee, the Internet would be filled with hatred toward the Clintons, supposedly authored by Obama supporters who are in reality tools of the Republican hate machine.

Anyone who supports Hillary will work for a Democratic victory in November. Period.

God save our nation from the spiteful ignoramuses who spew in these comments - its hard enough work for caring, involved citizens trying to improve our security and prosperity without having to tiptoe through the minefield of their hatred. Their mommas must be so proud…

I don't know how anyone can go from voting for Hillary, to voting for McCain, unless race or emotion is playing a part.
Hillary and Obama are polar opposites from McCain on the issues.
In the end, it's the issues that matter!

I am Obama's supporter.

Obama+Clinton=strong Democratic force against McCain.

Yes We Can !!!

I was thrilled to see them get the press out of the way. It was so funny to see the media out side of Clinton home waiting and waiting for a story. Every thing is not for the media to report. Hope they learn a lesson.

Hey Folks,

Mark is a repub. troll attempting to stir up trouble. Just ignore him!!

Sounds like a conspiracy to me. The game is over and the opponents now decide that what was said is between them only and not the American Public.

Sorry folks, Hillary opened my eyes to Obama and with or without her,
he does not deserve me vote.

The liberal media decided very early that Barak would be the candidate and they did everything in their power to hide his agenda and his followers. Too bad Hillary exposed him and now the Republicans will opoen the door even wider. The Ameican Public will not be fooled into opening the whitehouse to the Islamic Terrorists and our domestic terrorists.

McCain will prevail in November. Middle America will make sure of that.

If Clinton supporters are convinced that they can win the white hiuse without the Black vote, then go ahead and Support McCain or stay home, because if Obama loses this election due to the Clinton Supporters, the Democratic party can forget the Black vote. We also will support McCain in his second term, and if not start our own party, go into the Republican party and build up the moderate wing… as we do have to wonder about the Clinton Democrats; If they dont support Obama, it will be another 50 years before a Democrat ever get into the white house

BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE TOO SMART TO BE DUPED BY THESE PEOPLE POSTING STATEMENTS THAT ARE STIRRING THE POT OF HATRED.

I'M A OBAMA SUPPORTER, BUT I'M A DEM BEFORE THAT.

MCCAINS PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER IS IF THEY CAN STIR THE POT ENOUGH TO SERVE THEMSELVES A HEARTY HELPING OF UPSET DEMS. ITS OBVIOUS AND LETS GET OVER OURSELVES AND TAKE BACK THE WHITEHOUSE!!!!

MY DREAM LINES FROM OBAMA
As we pursue change in America, let us start by changing from the old way of condoning internal partisanship towards the new way of harnessing diversity towards partnership. Let us work for change not by breaking from the past but by blending what's brilliant in it to what's transformational in the future. Let us effect change not with fear and suspicion but with confidence and reconciliation. Let change start with us Democrats and America will follow. And so today, I set the tone for inclusive change and real unity in my choice for vice president — Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Wolf, this was a wonderful conversation this morning with Senator Feinstein and Senator Hutchinson. Two intelligent and strong female senators who are articulate, issue oriented and leaders in their political parties.

The meeting between Senator Clinton and Senator Obama should have been private. As a strong supporter of Senator Clinton, I too would like to support Senator Obama. To be perfectly honest with you, as one of the 18 million supporters of Senator Clinton, Senator Obama will have to earn my vote just like Senator Clinton did. I TAKE MY VOTE VERY SERIOUSLY. I WILL LET NO ONE TAKE MY VOTE FOR GRANTED.

Thank You,

I can create a list of first term presidents that were relatively unknown. McCain, Obama both will be amongst them.

I strongly believe that we need a president that isnt tainted by Washington at this time.

I am appalled that ANYONE would sit home because their candidate did not make it.

I think Obama and Hillary will be a good combination and will be the most single factor that can unite the Democratic Party. If Hillary is not on the ticket for any reason, the Republicans stand to gain and might even win the White House. I for myself would vote for the Democratic ticket only and only if it includes Hillary. No Hillary, No vote in the general election. just stay at home.

The Republicans have been spying on them with the help of the telecoms and secret service.

yes how great, meeting in secrecy where the bilderberg were taking thier meeting 15 minutes away from where the plane was located.. just a coincidence!

i mean right on CNN for being such intelligent reporters by not being able to figure this out when i have no journalist experience and know about the secret new world order bilderberg meeting going on. i mean they even released a press release and i guess the only way you didnt mention it is because you were told not to…

what else is new!! just another cover up!

I still believe that Hillary is the right candidate for 2008. I really was turned off to Obama supporters, and they way they degraded Hillary and her campaign. Because, of this I will be voting McCain (like the other 30-40%), to teach them a lesson. I rather have 4 more years of a republican administration (how really bad can it get, pehaps another tax cut ?) then have Obama stuff down my throat by hillary haters.

If Hillary is on the ticket, I may reconsider …

Mark, how you stay at home and not vote. Look at the Economy and our Military in Iraq. That is two reasons to vote.

Please reconsider. You have time to decide. This is also for the 17% that said they aren't going to vote.

I'm a 60 yr old Republican w/female voting for Barack Obama. He will select the right VP. Maybe it will be Hillary.

God Bless America

The Obama campaign showed ZERO disrespect to Mrs. Clinton as a woman during this contest. To those real Hillary supporters that believe this, I ask you to take a week, cool off, and then relook at everything Mr. Obama has ever said or done towards her.

Mrs. Clinton, in listening to Terry McCaullife and Howard Wolfson, played rough. As a result, she said and insinuated things designed to pull voters to her. Unfortunately some of those were highly charged emotional appeals to red meat topics. It will be difficult for Hillary to un-ring these bells; not because they are true or false but rather because they were "gut level" appeals to our fears instead of our hopes.

Her words on Saturday were an excellent START. But this is not a "one and done" situation. Ultimately, Hillary's legacy and stature in the Democratic party will be determined by how well Mr. Obama does in this fall's presidential campaign with what has been identified as Senator Clinton's core constiuencies. Hillary will have to campaign in Appalachia for 4 months this summer to help "un-ring" the bell.

As the nominee goes, so goes Senator Clinton's political fortunes. He can not loose in November and she come out ahead. If he does, she will forever be looked upon with a skeptical eye by many millions of people around the world.

rethink the hate - you say, "check your rabid hate and your, vile, filthly name-calling insults at the door"…maybe you should take some of your own advice.

First I watched Bob Casey just do a horrible job defending Obama then I watched Dianne Feinstein have a crack at it and I was very impressed. She's a really soft spoken, gentle lady but she really knows how to get her point across. I'm going to break with conventional wisdom here and say she should be considered for VP.

Mark, I have to disagree. The fact that Obama's campaign ran circles around Hillary's, that he and his team developed a winning strategy that they stuck to throughout the campaign, and that Obama held fast and strong through everything the Clinton Machine (and in later months, the republicans) could throw at him; proves that he has the ability to succeed in the rough business of politics at its highest level and at its most fierce and viscious. Its about time we had someone to vote for who provides leadership rooted in those lofty ideals that this country was founded upon.

THANK YOU, HILLARY CLINTON, WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE!!!!!

PUMA PAC MEMBER FOR HILLARY!!!!!!

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

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

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

For those who will not vote at all. You still have a chance to make a difference by voting for Obama. We can not afford another 4 - 8 years of the Bush policy. If not for yourself make the chose for our children future.

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

Obama 08!

Lyonn from SF June 8th, 2008 1:49 pm ET
"It is not Obama's fault why I am not voting for him! It is simply his followers own doing that made us Clinton supporters upset! This will not heal for a very long time."

You say you are a Hillary fan but wont listen to her who says "Vote Obama". You would rather listen to those who pose as Obama fans and wont vote him even though you think it is not Obama's fault. Amazing logic!

Let me tell you something. It is for Hillary's fan like you that Obama's fan react to, and say Clinton should not be on the ticket.

Hillary is not strong like Obama and gave in to the pressure of fans like you, to stay in the lost race, get bankrupt, and damage Democratic Party. She has done so much damage that she can not undo it all.

Obama on the other hand was strong enough to not being pressurized by his fans and tell his supporters to respect Hillary. That is the difference between a populist and a leader. A populist say gave a tax break on gas and make people happy. A leader says "no, it wont work", get his supporter disappointed in the short run, but gets respect for his wisdom and trust for his honesty in the long run.

With fans like you, Hillary needs no enemies as you are blocking her way to the ticket. Cool down and Obama's fan would finally settle down and accept the idea of Hillary being VP. Obama the leader will convince them!

>It's time to bring America back, stop outsourcing jobs, be the forefront in
>technology, the innovators that keep jobs here, not moves jobs out
>because rich ceo's are greedy. Their wealth was built on the backs and
>from the minds of Americans and those who came to this country for the
>American dream.

And remember that it was HILLARY CLINTON who favored outsourcing, and who brought the #1 outsourcer of US to India into NY. Look up TATA Consulting and Hillary Clinton.

Tomorrow I am mailing in my voter registration changes. I'll be switching from Dem to Ind. The Dem party is a shell of its former self. It is full of a bunch of sexist race baiters….I am so sick an tired of the hate coming from Obama supporters.

Good bye.

These Republicans are already trying to take Hillary's supporters with their dirty tactics..pathetic. Sorry McFools..but the Democratic party is a party of progress and thinkers. Keep the old warmonger ways to yourself, why don't you all just sign up for the war you so adamantly praise??

That’s the way it should have been. The media feels it has a right to be in the middle of everything. That shows me right there that these are two smart people.

And to the die hard Hillary supporters, this is for the Presidency, not queen of the prom. If you are so affixed to the person, and not the issues, you’re not mature enough to be voting anyway.

To all Obama and Hillary supporters:

If we are all Democrats, and they have asked us to unite, then why are we not doing what they asked? A true supporter of either campaingn would unite, not fight.

I am in agreement with all who wont vote for Obama. I wont sell my soul for that idiot. HIllary is my one and ONLY choice. Sorry Hillary, but my conscience wont let me go down that road….hope he can lure someone else into his web of lies……

HILLARY 2012

I HOPE THAT HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS REALIZE THAT THIS RACE IS NOT JUST ABOUT THEM AND WHAT THEY WANT.
MY SON IN IRAQ ON HIS 3RD TOUR IS IS PART OF WHAT THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT AND JOINING FORCES WITH MCCAIN TO KEEP THIS WAR GOING WILL BE A SLAP TO MY SON.
IF MY SON DOES NOT MAKE IT HOME IT WILL BE BLOOD ON ALL OF YOU HATEFUL WOMEN'S HANDS.
i WANT THE TROOPS HOME,APPARENTLY THESE WOMEN DO NOT ,AND DON'T CARE

Obama will never be President if he's the nominee after Denver convention.

PUMA MEMBER FOR HILLARY!

I think the Golf-gate is getting out of hand here. Any sane person knows that these events are planned waaay in advance. What would it look it if he cancels a pre-planned event to listen to the speech?
I think he did the appropriate thing by going ahead with the pre-planned game, and then listen to the speech an hour later.

As for those of you who are voting for McCain out of spite. You're voting to kill more Americans for another 4 years. You're voting against healthcare for 50 million americans. You're voting against a descent education for american children. You are not voting against Obama, but you're voting against the fundamental and core beliefs of Hillary Clinton. Don't vote out of hate, but vote out of love for all Amricans who are suffering. (Which is far far more than the last election)

As for those of you who say Obama used undesirable tactics to win. You are sadly mistaken. You want someone to blame and the obvious person to blame is the winner in this case. But he really used very little negative tactics. Hillary used far far more underhanded tactics. There were some sexism, but there were far less people who voted for Obama because he was black. If you look at the race with an open mind, you cannot conclude that Obama used negative or bad tactics to win. Atleast not as much as hillary.

For all Obama supportes.. Hillary is not the enemy. She is one of us. Stop beating up on her !

No secret….

You guys killed the woman warrior to install your puppet nominee.

Watch us walk.

I AM A STRONG HILLARY SUPPORTER. YES I ADMIT THAT OBAMA HAS A LOT OF WORK TO DO BUT HE IS OUR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. I HOPE HE PICKS HRC FOR HIS VP. WE, AS A COUNTRY, CAN NOT AFFORD 4 MORE YEARS OF REPUBLICAN. OUR DOLLAR IS SO WEAK. PEOPLE ARE BECOMING HOMELESS BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS. I THINK HRC WON THE POPULAR VOTE BUT I CAN NOT STAY ANGRY ANOTHER LONGER. LETS ALL STAND BEHIND OBAMA AND LETS SEE IF HE CAN CHANGE OUR COUNTRY AROUND FOR THE BETTER. INTERNATIONALLY AND ON OUR SOIL.

I've been a Democrat for over 30 years and I'm done with the party off hate. I got an e-mail from the DNC asking me to donate, and I laughed out loud. The good old boys allowed HIllary Clinton and her supporters to be labeled racist and ignorant, and now they want us to play nice. I don't think so, women need to remember how disgracefully we were treated during this campaign by the Obama side, he has no respect for women, and I wouldn't vote for him if he was the last candidate on the earth. The press, the same people who destroyed Hillary Clinton's reputation with blatant bias, now say we will all come together , just give us time. I say, this pack of hacks has it wrong, I know many Democrats who will never vote for Obama, good luck in the fall without us!

NEW MCCAIN SLOGAN * A HUNDRED YEAR WAR YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!

No pardon for me…just yet. Mark my words she has something up her pants suit.

Read Dick Morris's take, he knows these sleeze bags. He was at one with them.

Spots don't change overnight.

After viewing the comments of the great unwashed on political issues in many story threads over the past weeks, I've reached the conclusion that there should be a competence test for voting in national elections.

The churlish, childish, ugly, ignorent and inane invective spewing forth from the internet on this election convinces me the founding fathers were right to create the electoral college to keep the fate of the election of the leader of this nation out of the hands of the yokel behind the plow.

I was a Hillary Clinton supporter she ran a great campaign. Now I will help her to elect Obama this will show her true strength to make other people better.

Obama and Clinton working together for America!

Obama was elected not selected. In her announcment Clinton said she supports thoses who work hard and play by the rules. Well MI and FL broke the rules. Tell me Clintonites what sanction do you think they should have gotten? Then Hillie wanted the super dels to support her. Now that they did not her supporters are saying it is the popular vote that counts. Well never bring a popular vote to a delegate fight. Since 1776 it has been the delegates that count in the USA. Sure there has been sexist comments made about her. But did she ever have a state not vote for her because she is a women? Obama had to deal with PA, WV, and KY all not vote for him because he is black. There are more people who did *not* vote for him because he *is* black then who voted for him because he is black.

Women should never kiss and make up when they are gang raped by their own UNdemocratic "family".

That would be to invite, enable and encourage more of the despicable behavior in the future. Losing an election over the methodology goes further to drive the lesson home.

It is not THAT HRC lost. It is HOW she lost that will have lasting effects on this party.

The dust is settling on the DEMS ideology and HRC will rise from the ashes of the hate that you fueled into a divisive fire.

Kudos to Sen Feinstein for her calm, mature judgment in seeing what needed to be done. She'd make a good candidate herself.

I am a Democrat. I will vote as a Democrat. Just because your candidate didn't get the nomination doesn't mean it's ok to act like a child who didn't get that toy they wanted. You all are making yourselves look like fools. GROW UP ALREADY! Those of you who are chosing not to vote or to vote for McCain, I just want to say this….Please don't complain about the gas prices, or healthcare prices, or any other thing that goes wrong and puts this country further into debt and keeps us depending on other countries. You have a chance to do what's right. You need to put on your big girl panties and your big boy boxers and suck it up.

"I have to admit, the guy gives a good speech and he really gets the crowd into it. Then again, so did Hitler and we know how that ended. Obama is saying a lot of nothing and he is inspiring a lot of people with promises he cannot keep. It is unfortunate that so many Americans are absolutely clueless with regard to this guy and with politics in general."

Wow. Did you actually type that with a strait face? Look up the Godwin rule and then jump back into the debate when you get your bearings. Until then, please DO NOT VOTE. Seriously, the dems do not need nutjobs.

NEW MCCAIN SLOGAN * A SETBACK FOR WOMENS RIGHTS YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! *

Obama must EARN Hillary supporters votes. It's not her job to do it for him. Why does he get everything handed to him? Work for my vote Mr. Obama.

CNN ————

Can we please move forward with Obama and Mc Cain?

How many times can you post about a meeting with Obama and Hillary?

Obama made it clear that he would meet with her!

Also——- please stop with the Hillary VP! You are just starting more crap for some of Hillary's supporters only to be let down! She is not going to be on Obama's ticket! Keep in mind - Hillary got 18 million votes and so did Obama! Obama won 34 states - Hillary won 19!

And, considering how well known the Clintons are - if I was Hillary I wouldn't tout those numbers of votes she got! It really says alot considering Obama is a rookie!

I don't even want to guess what they were meeting about. But if he picks her to be his VP, it will be the worst mistake he could ever make. Obama's every move would be overshadowed by both Clintons - remember, this is 2 for 1 deal, if you take Hillary, you have to take Bill, too. Obama would need extra security and a food taster.

After her "Bobby Kennedy" remark, I think she should be investigated by the FBI. If anything does happen to Obama between now and November, she should be suspect #1.

Really we are more alike than different (Obama/Clinton supporters). There is no substantial reason for Hill supporters to be against Obama. None of the reasons that any Clinton supporters give for not supporting him are really anything that you can attribute to Obama. You can't blame him for his supporters, the DNC, or the media. Please (actual democrats, not republicans posing) stop and think. If your hatred for Obama is greater than your love for this country, then vote McCain, write Hill in, or stay at home. But if you love America, there's no way to justify not backing Obama.

The dust will settle over the democrats who dug their own grave.

Bash, trash and pummel the woman.

Honor, obey and glorify the man. Black or white- makes no difference to me. Equality for ALL and fair play is what I look for from my party.

You swiftboated the warrior.

She will rise from the dust of your defeat. We will see to that.

God bless Hillary. God knows what all you haters in the Obama sheep camp have done.

Well said Sheep — I'm with you. How can we be an example to the rest of the world when we cannot work through our own differences and diversity and set a good example as the world leaders.

Moreover, I have also thought that the Republicans might be behind some of the really stabbing blog commentaries that continue to fuel this battle between Dem factions.

We need to unite as Democrats and stand strong against the GOP in Nov. so we can take this country back!

NEW MCCAIN SLOGAN * A THIRD BUSH TERM YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! *

How Could any one vote for Mccain. During his speech in Kenner LA he said he wanted to deliver and I quote "BOTTLED HOT WATER TO DEHYDRATED BABIES" that had become displaced by the Flooding, and Levee breakage in LA during Hurricane Katrina.

VOTE FOR SANITY= VOTE OBAMA 08′

I love my country and I would never want to be President. It takes a special person to want that job.

To all you Hillary and Obama supporters who really think all this nastiness posted about Hillary and Obama are real democrats? Think not. It's operation Chaos.

Mark,

We've all voted for imperfect candidates in the past (You may think Hillary is perfect, but that is not true of anyone.) By not voting you are only harming yourself. McCain or Obama, be an American and vote.

Not voting is the least intelligent thing that any person could do. People die every day to protect that right for you. And you waste it because you're pouting? That is simply disgusting.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM IF IT IS A UNITY?

NEW MCCAIN SLOGAN * A GREAT DEPRESSION YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! *

It amazes me that some professed Clinton supporters say they will not vote for Obama. Anyone who truly supports Hillary will vote for Obama, because they basically stand for the same things. If you like Hillary, do what she says, and support Obama.

My guess is that the folks who claim to like Hillary and write about how much they despise Obama are actually Republicans who never would vote for Hillary or Obama. Wolves in lambs clothing, are what they are. Such people have absolutely no credibility.

They were at the Westfield Marriot Hotel Chantilly VA with the other 130 or so Bilderberg group members.

Question is what were they planning???????

Love you Hillary.

From this day forward, you are the only democrat I will EVER vote for.

This party shamed us all with its favoritism and it ugly attacks on you.

We will not give in.

Greetings, John McCain. I can survive 4 more years.

Dems…. learn from this. NO unity by cheating, hating, attacking, denigrating and corruption.

Please stop pushing Clinton for VP. She cannot be vetted becasue of Paul V Clinton and the Clinton library as well as the foundation. Obama knows this, Hillary knows this, and if you do your homework you too will know this. Pushing for it to happen is the worse thing you can do. If she is not named VP then her supporters will be PO'd becasuse they refuse to expose themselves to anything negative about her by researching paul v clinton. I understand this feeling but if you are going to vote you need to do your homework and be as informed as possible. If she is named VP it will be sad when the ads start running about it and all of the other skeletons in Hillary's closet. I would say most of her supporters were not old enough to know about all of it and since Obama took the high road and did not dredge it all up they have no idea. They also have no idea how much restraint his campaign showed by not getting dirty. Would be nice if they would look into it and show him some respect for it instead of claiming he ran a dirty campaign. Seriously folks, he ran the cleanest campaign i have ever seen and only pushed back when he was pushed first unfairly. All of that is in the past. I welcome Hillary to the cause and her supporters. It is time to go to work to make sure we don't have 4 more years of Bush.

This is supposed to be a surprise? Of course they meant to meet privately and who wouldnt. As much as the press has been on their every move, they had to do it in order to think clearly

I am so sick of hearing about experience. Bill didn't have any his first term as president and he turned out ok. GWB didnt have any even after his 2nd term and look at where we are. None of the candidates: McCain, Hillary or Obama have the experience to be President if you want to split hairs! Putting the right team together is the key. For those of you who will stay home because your candidate of choice may not be on the ticket - stay home but don't complain about the direction of the country. You gave up that right when you stayed home and didn't exercise your right to vote! I may not like who the presumptive nominee is but I WILL BE TRUE TO MY PARTY AND VOTE!!!! Get over it and move on

NEW MCCAIN SLOGAN * A WORLD WAR THREE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! *

The sheep followed their leaders call to agitate hate and division.

Now they follow his call to guilt trip for unity.

Good luck with that.

I am a free thinker.

I do not follow orders on HOW to vote.

Mark - That's rather an un-American way of thinking. If you don't like Obama or McCain, there's always Ron Paul or that other guy (Bob somebody).

Voting is a privilege, not a right.

I wish she does not meet with Obama, and do not accept VP position even if offerered. Obama winning the nomination is a joke. Winning the great democratic states such as Idaho, Utah, Kansas, Georgia is a joke.
The left that hijacked the democratic party and the media killed the warrior with their hate and unfair bias. America will regret it, just as it regrets electing W Bush. I cannot believe how hard these disgusting talking heads tried to destroy President Clinton. The man who gave the best economy, balanced budget, diverse administration, jobs, peace and prosperity. I cannot believe these jockers insulted him throughout the primary season.
My respect for the Clintons grew even more.

I cant' believe the media coverage Clinton still gets. She lost!!!! How can the loser get more coverage than the winner? Obama is the nominee not Clinton. Time to start focusing on the winner, Obama.

I give Hillary a great deal of cridit for moving this along quickly. She has always said she will wholeheartedly support Obama if he won, as has he. Republicans are all over these post and winningthe battle to continue to split us apart. I feel sorry for all of us if he wins through some perceived slight. Vote the party - this is not a popularity contest! No more war ever!

Rise Hillary Rise….

From the dust of this dead party.

We will come back when you are a respected leader of this party.

why is it so hard for americans to decide who to vote for this time around. After all Pres Bush stole the frist election with the help of his " Daddys" friends and was able to scam a second term on the deaths of over two thousand people in New York and Washington on Sept 11/01. As a result there is now the Patroit Act, no congersional oversite or consultation and finally an unprovoked attack and subsequent occupation of Iraq. The current admistration is either incompentant or they have deliberatly deceibed the American people. Since one or ther must be true I don't understand why Pres Bush has not been impeached. But with news people like Wolf Blitzer who acts more like a game show host than a journalist and refuses to address real issues the american people will continue to distracted.

Let's not forget when Michelle Obama was asked would she support Hillary Clinton if she were to be the nominee, "I would have to give that some thought"…and yet, Hillary's supporters are just all step in sync with her husband, strange to me she couldnt even say yes immediately when asked that question.
Oh that's right, she hasnt been proud of America until her husband ran. I keep forgetting that.

I am glad Obama and Clinton had this meeting. Eventually Obama can let Hillary know what he would like her to do to help the democrats win in November. I don't believe she should be on the ticket. It would totally cry hypocrisy. He will have to choose someone outside of Washington to stick with his message of change. Hopefully a Governor or mayor of a major swing state. But it should be his decision. If anyone tries to force him or twist his arm he must be firm to resist. That will show that he can be strong.

I dont understand MARK, how you could possibly have been
for Hillary and what she has stood for, and now say you would
not be voting it at all.

That is very sad. It is important to vote, and how you could
consider not doing that is very, very strange. It think you are
the fool.

Obama worshippers… next time, check your rabid hate and your vile, filthy vulgar name-calling insults at the door… then enter the democratic party.

This new party is too hateful, divisive and vulgar for me.

That is NOT change I can believe in.

Obama inspires just too much corruption, reverse-racism, disrepect and hate.

Re-think THAT message.

Both Obama and Clinton supporters are going to have to realize something. There are a lot of people out here posting for one reason. They want to try to stir the pot and keep the animosity going between us. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning and I will share my opinion with you. I think I am probably much like most others who do indeed believe in what the Democratic party stands for. I welcome Hillary to the team along with her supporters. We all believe there is something much bigger that needs to be accomplished than one candidate over another. If Hillary would have won the nomination I would still be supporting the ideals of the Democratic party. We simply cannot afford to let McBush win and all that goes along with it. He at times says things that sound good like his new stance on the environment but we know that he has had his campaign paid for by big oil and other lobbyists and pacs. He will be nothing more than a puppet to those who bought him the election when the time comes for decisions. Do not trust all of the anti Obama and inflamatory posts you see. They are 9 out of 10 posted by posing dittoheads who cannot think for themselves. Lets unite and make this country what it was when our family members died to protect it in the World Wars instead of voting for McSame who would like nothing more than to bring about WW3. Thank you for reading

This mess was caused by the DNC and the super delegates and they will have to answer to all the Democrats after Obama loses in November.

I did not chose Obama for many reasons. The color of his skin was not even a consideration, even though his supporters like to think it was. Just because Senator Clinton is not in the race anymore, that does not mean that I automatically will chose Obama.

If I have to pick from a ticket without Senator Clinton at the top, then I will vote for McCain. He does not stand for the Democratic Party values that I have always supported, BUT NEITHER DOES THE LEADERSHIP OF THE PARTY THIS ELECTION SEASON!

I would write in Senator Clintion but that will not effect the outcome of the race and then the unacceptable tactics used by the party leaders will prevail.

Sometimes we have to chose the lesser of two evils - supporting the Democratic Party this year is more than I can stomach.

In Mark's opinion, Hillary is tough, battle scarred and has the thick skin to to take on the Republicans. However, Barack prevailed ….ergo….. taking on McBush and the Republicans will present less of a challenge. Not voting for Obama will be 4 or 8 years more of the same current misery.

Scare us with your "I'm not voting for Obama" threats… I'm so sick of you people! Just remember one thing..If my son dies in Iraq, It will be all your faults! You will be to blame! What selfish people you are! Also remember, Hillary needed the black vote, the educated vote and the young vote to ever win. She didn't have that vote. Call me a fool Mark. You're and even bigger one not to vote because your canidate didn't win..You sound like a winey baby…Hm just like Hillary!

Please post:

As an concerned American voter, why do you continue talk about Hillary Clinton ? The primary season is over and CNN along with other networks like fox news want to keep the Clinton story alive. I know Wolf and others have feeling towards Clinton but she has lost. Can we move on now with some responsible journalism.

We have a president that sent 4100 troops to there death with faulty and fabricated intelligence. This should be the number one story on CNN and every other channel across America. It is sad to see that the journalism in this country has lost the meaning of responsibility to the American people. 4100 troops are dead in from the Iraq War; and know one cares mainly because the media has made it that way. Bush sent them and McCain voted to back Bush this is the real story.

Only a total idiot would want to be President in January. Why?

Unemployment will be 10% by then

Gasoline will be $7/gal.

Foreclosures will be reaching new records

Air fare will be so high that travel and business will almost shut down

Food will be scarce and outrageously expensive

There will surely be marches and demonstrations at the White House.

Whoever is there will need extra strength Excedrin and will wish they had never run.

Makes me wonder how many more SECRET and CLANDESTINE meetings our TRUSTED elected officials are setting up and attending.
Henry, AL

Obama/Clinton '08!

I'll vote for Obama when the "new" democrats learn the one precious lesson: hate does not unite.

Calling the other candidate disrespectful names like pig, and HO and B—tch… just won't force our vote.

Calling other democrats ignorant, stupid, uninformed, uneducated, dirty, filthy racist inbred morons…. Well, yep… that will do it.

I'm sure everyone will come aboard now.

Try tolerance, dignity, respect for others next time and leave your hate at the door before you join the Democratic party.

Obama Was Selected, Not Elected

Obama was giving his selection speech (it can’t be a victory speech, he did not win) and he started it off by pulling his grandma from under the bus. He acknowledged her and the fact that she raised him and he said that tonight was for her. He said she was in Hawaii and could not make it because of her health. I guess it is all the same, he does not want a typical white person around him anyway.

I have to admit, the guy gives a good speech and he really gets the crowd into it. Then again, so did Hitler and we know how that ended. Obama is saying a lot of nothing and he is inspiring a lot of people with promises he cannot keep. It is unfortunate that so many Americans are absolutely clueless with regard to this guy and with politics in general.

But then again, what should we expect from a group of people who cried about Bush being “selected” and not elected while acting as if Obama, who really was selected rather than elected, as if he is the second coming of the messiah

I wish more of Hillies supporters thought like Mark. Just say home and suck your thumbs. We the true demeocrats will fight the good fight. If she did not lose she would be the nom. Mark hopes we lose in Iraq, and hopes the Dems lose the GE because he wants to take his marbles and go home. Poor Poor Mark et al.

Though I'm not a Hillary supporter, I was moved by her speech yesterday. I'm disturbed that there are so many angry middle-aged women who support Clinton. It was a fair race. Some are acting like spoiled children who don't like to lose. I've heard a lot say they'll vote McCain. That's their choice. But if they do, be prepared to live with the consequences.

It is the 24 hour news cycle where the news has stopped being about what happened and is now about 50 different kinds of speculation and punditry to fill the time.

Anyone can meet with anybody and the press does not HAVE to know what is going on.

Cynic, Cynic, Cynic….

It is not Obama's fault why I am not voting for him! It is simply his followers own doing that made us Clinton supporters upset! This will not heal for a very long time.

Mark,

True Obama is new; however, he has many of the same ideas as Mrs. Clinton. Take the time to listen before you decide to waste your vote. If Hillary can back him, maybe you can.

Democrats 08

This true democrat will now leave the new UNdemocratic party of avid haters.

That is not the party I belonged to all my life.

Hate will NEVER unite.

When you learn that lesson and respect and tolerance… I may come back.

"Secrets" , amongst DemocRATS! I don't think sooooooooooo………

Why did Hillary only suspend her campaign as opposed to shutting it down? Does she think or know something will happen to derail Obama?

question?? why cnn keep letting tru so much negative comments??? and not more positive comments?? play ur part cnn!!! play ur part!

This is pretty crazy. So are the HRC supporters only supporting the candidate or the issues? It seems the obvious answer is that they are only supporting HRC and don't care about the issues at all. Hillary was and still is fighting for the issues. Obama was and is still fighting for those same issues. These two candidates are fighting for the same thing; health care for all, better economy, ending the war, help for people struggling with foreclosure, etc, etc. She is not forced into this. She is doing what needs to be done to help bring about change. If the HRC supporters are so blind that they aren't going to vote or vote for McCain because she didn't win then you definitely don't care about the issues that are plaguing our country at all.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN GREATER "FOOLS" THEN PUTTING GEORGE BUSH IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR 8 YEARS…..MAYBE NEW IS WHAT WE NEED…I HOPE OBAMA TURNS OUT TO BE THE PRESIDENT THAT BRINGS THIS COUNTRY BACK…AND THEN WHAT YOU HATERS ARE GOING TO SAY ABOUT INEXPERIENCE!!!! EXPERIENCE HASN'T BEEN WORKING EITHER….

MAY GOD BLESS OBAMA WITH THE WISDOM TO HAVE SOUND JUDGEMENT….

So lets all unite behind the party and the candidate that trashed and bashed and disrespected us AND our candidate.

Unity is no longer possible. The haters took care of that.

Obama mocking annie oakley and brushing Hill off his shoulders took care of that.

Michelle Obama's taped interview where she said she would not vote for Hillary… took care of the loyalty to party and nomiee, argument.

Obama supporters, YOU cost Obama and the DEMS this election.

God bless Hillary Clinton. Even as an Obama supporter, I commend the historical accomplishments of each campaign. Both Obama and Clinton represent a new direction for America with their practically identical policies. I look forward to Clinton working with Obama to ensure we elect a Democrat to the White House at this critical point in our history.

If the meeting was so secret why is she talking? After the way the Democrats pushed Obama through I will give my vote to McCain. Obama acts like he is better than thou.

I have lost confidence in the Democratic party. Hillary Clinton should have been the nominee - she is the more substantive, experienced and genuine candidate to offer to the American people. Obama is inexperienced, patriotically challenged and has become a symbol of change - by his own marketing. I will not vote for Obama. Rather, I will be writing-in Hillary's name on the November ballot and my hope is a nation-wide campaign will begin to let it be known people can write in whomever they want for President - they don't have to go along with any party's puppet.

Sorry Obama - This is one Hillary supporter that will vote McCain come this November. You will have no one to blame for your your loss in November but yourself, your racist church, your crooked friends AND your nasty juvenile supporters. Go back to Chicago and clean that up before you try to clean up our country. No Obama - NEVER.

Always for Hillary.

Now no longer for the DEMS.

Don't gang rape our candidate and the party's best hope.

I can not, will not vote for Senator Obama. If one researches his background, he is not a democrat but a socialist, marxist, communist, racist. He will bring change but not the kind good for America. I understand Senator Clinton's position since she is being blackmailed by the Democratic Party VIPs. Senator is and hishonest wanna be politician with no actural comphrensive experience.

Senator McCain is a true American hero and believes in America. Obama just want the power for himself. It is called Black Power. It is called Marxist Power.

Mark…Your the fool!

I am somehow disappointed. Why, the hell, does such a lot of female Clinton supporters now going to vote for a pretty different party or not even vote at all? The primaries are first of all a moment to make your choice of the political direction you are voting for. It seems to me that these women made it a "women`s movement" primary first and not at all a political procedure. This non-logical but emotional behaviour shows to me that these so called "supporters" do not know, or better, are not interested in the future policy of the USA, I really do hope that they come back to reality.

Whatever you do Obama, Don't turn your back on her

please tell me where it says OBAMA was golfing during the CLINTON addressing her supporters . No matter what he was doing someone wouldnt have liked it . Who are people to decide what someone else needs to do ? W e have become so petty . our women and men are overseas dying for our country and were picking each other apart ..W e call ourselves adults but are acting like children .. Most of us need to vollunter some time in helping our service people have something positive happen in there lives ..TODAY

To CNN:

I'm an Obama supporter but even I cannot believe the coverage you are giving him on TV. While working out at my gym and watching TV, my estimate is that 90% of the coverage was on Obama, 10% on Hillary. and zero on McCain for the hour I was watching.

By too much coverage of Obama, and this for the next five months, you will only expose his weaknesses and make people sick and tired of him. Remember what your momma told you about too much of a good thing.

I'm not voting for McCain, I'm not voting for Obama. More of the same from McCain - the unknown from Obama. I voted for Clinton and unless she's on the ticket, I'm staying home in November. I'm not going to contribute to more inexperienced hucksters like GWBush & Obama running this country… look what mess we are in and I don't have any faith that Obama can turn it around. You need someone who has battle scars and can tough it out… that's Hillary Clinton. Those that supported Obama are pie-in-the-sky people that think when Obama sneezes that's a revelation! Get your head out of the mud… politics is rough business, you need someone who can tough it out… who has a proven record of accomplishment as well as toughing it out…. you think the Republicans are going to stand for lefty Obama - they couldn't stand the Clintons…because they were too in the middle and moving into their base. The Republicans are going to go hog wild on Obama and he's not going to know what hit him… then he'll wish he had Bill and Hillary's armor to protect him!

Fools, fools, fools…

Good job girl!

you need to get them together.. but just make sure the Bill is not there all the time.. I think Bill has been a good lad but he aught to stary a little distant so as not to take away the focus from Obama.. He didn't really help Hillary and I don't think it will help Obama if he is in the front line at all. I think Hillary could be VB but only if there was a guanrantee that Bill could be kept away.. but that doesn't look likely.

GoDems! Go!

I was glad to see the press dubbed on this one.

The press needs to step back and understand that the exhaulted role they like to claim is a privaledge not a right. They do not have the right to know every move that the candidate makes.

I'll say what Senators' McCain and Obama can't say for political correctness … THERE ARE SOME THINGS WHICH ARE NOT YOUR BUSINESS! Some meetings will be private and you won't be able to fill the airtime with endless, useless speculation to get the public all worked up over.

I was repulsed by those reporters aboard Mr. Obama's airplane that seemed to suggest they were entitled to go everywhere with the candidates. Recognize your role, the Constitution DOES NOT grant you access. Cool it.

I supported this clandestine meeting and I support Cindy McCain's right not to reveal her tax returns.

It's time to bring America back, stop outsourcing jobs, be the forefront in technology, the innovators that keep jobs here, not moves jobs out because rich ceo's are greedy. Their wealth was built on the backs and from the minds of Americans and those who came to this country for the American dream.

It's time to get rid of all the Republicans from the government and old generation who don't care about the young. That's you McCain. The young have spoken and your leadership is not what we want.

For all those who talk about experience, try reading the Constitution, there's a reason the minimum age was set to 35, not 70. It's time to get rid of long seated politics, and refresh the system as it was meant to do, to bring in fresh thinkers, get rid of the old people who are set in their ways.

Watch out for the Republican trolls on the board who pretend to be for Hillary and who try to cause anger. They are un-American and should be kicked out of this country.

Go Obama. Make America, America again.

I think it was important that they met before Clinton gave her speech on Saturday. I hope they can mend the fences.

Good. Hopefully this is another sign for unity. Maybe a VP if Obama can post Clinton as another candidate for change even though she has old politics experience. He'll have to figure out what to do with Bill too.

Overall I think Clinton would be a good choice. More pros than cons.

Theres alot of things i havent liked about this process we just went thru …….That has brought about people not getting along …both have positives ..Im from a long line of republicans ..who became democrate this year because of these 2 candidates .. My father disowned me we cant talk to each other ,,and i see the same type of childlike behavior written on here ..We are differant , and come from differant backgrounds ,,and its time we showed other countries how to live in peace ? how are we to be an example to countries who hate us when we show hate towards each other ??I also believe there are alot of MCCAIN backers ion here writing stuff like its coming from OBAMA , OR CLINTON supporter and it isnt they want us to fight because they then win we lose much ….GOD BLESS

Cool. Let's get it done !!!

I am an adamant Obama supporter. I am impressed that Hillary has made this move and is working toward a Democratic victory.

Thank you.

This senator is the real common denominator to the party presently. I thank her tremendously for offering her home and the fact Senator Obama and Senator Clinton met earlier than later.

"feel each other out"…Mrs Clinton is taking after her husband.
some role playing…of course professional.

Just one question: WHO leaked it?
