Will angry Clinton supporters come around by fall?

WASHINGTON (CNN) – There is no doubt that many of Hillary Clinton’s most passionate supporters remain very angry right now. They are especially angry over the way they believe their candidate was treated by some of Barack Obama’s supporters and the news media.

I have received numerous e-mails suggesting that Clinton was the victim of a mean-spirited sexism that elements of the news media spread around, and that the Obama campaign never did enough to dispel — even though Senator Obama now goes out of his way to effusively praise her.

“I’m a better candidate because of the work she did and she deserves our honor and our respect and our gratitude,” he said the other day. “And my two daughters see themselves differently because she ran for President of the United States of America.”

Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California, was a strong Clinton supporter. “I think if you look at the pundits, if you read the columns and go back and read them, some of them were really in my view malicious, very personal and venal sometimes,” she told me. “And I have a hard time understanding why that was necessary.”

Feinstein, like so many other Clinton supporters, is now totally on board the Obama bandwagon. Still, there are very hard feelings. Obama will need many of those ardent Clinton supporters if he hopes to win the presidency against John McCain. His campaign knows that.

Clinton is OUT!! Get over it!!! I just hope none of you females or irresponsible males who are so gung ho to vote for McSame don't get an unwanted pregnancy in the future. With him as president, you will either be taking a trip to Mexico or some secret back office.

Drae   June 9th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Wrong!

Obama himself said that it was unlikely that all troops would be removed by the end of his first term. (not that he will get one)

Blaming Hillary for the actions of citizens in this country to speak their mind and vote how they choose is just plain wrong and typical of Obama's campaign and supporters.

Vote how you choose. I for one will not support a weak candidate who one by playing the system and the voters. "Party of the people?"

Not any more.

Celeste   June 9th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

To Hillary Clinton Supporters:

You all can't help yourselves. Your anger and bitterness is a spin-off of the entire Clinton Campaign. There was a lot of in-fighting within the Clinton campaign – a family/nation divided against itself cannot stand. You are all cut from the same cloth. You are like-minded – petty, angry, bitter and lacking in reasoning and good common sense. Go and throw your vote behind the Republicans and as someone said, 'cut off your nose to spite your face'. You need therapy. Good night and good luck to you all .

Trev   June 9th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Sweetie won't get my vote. Claws are coming out. We are nice enough to vote for McCain.

Slected not Elected   June 9th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

all the paid bloggers, Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Billiam the Kid   June 9th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Lol. Wow. This is ridiculous. It's a shame people can't get over the fact that she ran a good race and lost. They both faced racism and sexism respectively. But this is just sickening, all the hateful, uninformed misconceptions against a man that has done nothing to any of you. I pity you…….

What are you afraid of?   June 9th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

Afraid that if Obama is elected that the economy will plunge(livin' it) or house values will fall(call me).

No Obama   June 9th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

As a Hillary supporter, I too am upset by the way DNC, media and Obama's campaign treated her. However, the reason I will not vote for Obama is not the anger over poor treatment of Hillary Clinton – my initial decision to be a Hillary supporter was I did not like Obama to begin with. His philosophy and mid-set actions are not consistent with mine. I say actions because I believe that’s the best way of judging a person. His beautiful speeches do not reflect his actions. So, I
is a hypocrite – he and a lot of his supporters are also great manipulators. The ‘upscale, educated’ supports of Obama belittled Hillary and her ‘downscale uneducated’ supporters to win the nomination and now they are throwing these insincere praises at us because they want to win the presidency. That will not work.
Hillary was unfairly forced out of the race, and unfairly forced to support Obama. Luckily, no one can force or manipulate us into voting for him, so I will not vote for Obama. Freedom at last!
Note: I will not vote for McCain either, I will just wait and hope that the next time around, there will be a candidate worth voting for.

LA2NC   June 9th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

As Nike says, JUST DO IT !!!! When you do, please be prepared for business as usual. Please know that once you do and things go from bad to worse….YOU CAN'T THEN COMPLAIN, YOU MADE IT HAPPEN.

Like you, I'm a female. Unlike you, I don't want to have to see what will happen to a woman who is forced to deal with the consequences of Mccain as president, when Roe V Wade is reversed. Again, please be prepared to accept resibility for your actions……… wait, you won't do that, that's not what whinners do…….. You have a good one……. :-)

Reality check, Candy – . The Dems should have a free ride to the WH. McCain is so not qualified it's not funny. If Obama loses because crazy, hormonal women and racists sabotage his run – HRC will take the blame and she will be a political pariah. There will be no 2012 run for her. She will be done. Live with that…

Mikey The Real American   June 9th, 2008 4:57 pm ET

Barry has great wisdom. If Obama loses because of perceived lack of support from HRC. She will be blackballed and never be able to run again.

But you know what…that is fine with me!!! I can't stand Obama or Clinton. Obama and Clinton are basically the same person. I am just glad that the most of the Hillary supprters are too angry or too stupid to realize it.

How can anyone be angry when the voters are the ones who decided the nomination via "pledged delegates" which is the rule in the Democratic Party? I cannot understand why ANY Democrat would decide to vote Republican in November UNLESS it's because of race. Barack Obama is both black and white so which side would people be against? Voters being angry, as Wolf puts it, because he did nothing to limit sexism are ridiculous. Did Hillary Clinton do anything to limit racism? Did Bill Clinton do anything to limit racism? No, I don't think so. Did they do anything to squash his being a Muslim? No, it was just commented "as far as I know" that he's not. And, Wolf, it seems to me that it is going to be your goal to make sure Clinton voters stay angry so they do go vote for McCain. I think it's time you began reporting in a responsible manner.

I plead to my fellow Hillary supporters to vote Democrat this November because I can not take another year of this type of administration. I plead to the Obama supporters to stop being jerks about those of us that need some time to heal. You would feel wounded as well if your candidate had not been chosen. I will never vote Republican but I find that I will be voting for Obama begrudgingly if the arrogance of Obama supporters does not stop.

The best candidate in the Democratic race got thrown under the bus by the DNC and supers as they pushed, shoved and dragged Obama across the finish line to GIVE him the nomination. He was selected…..not elected. Puh…..leeeeze!

There is no way I am voting for Husein Obama his radical views and friend that he has; his inexperience,. I cannot believe that the superdelagates did not have the time to look at Hillary argument that she could be the best to defeat Mccain. The democrat party will regret what they did to Hillary.

Wallace Young, Atlanta Georgia   June 9th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

As a life long Democrat, I was very upset how CNN and MSNBC covered the primary. It seemed as if the networks decided Senator Obama would win the nomination. I am very hurt and disappointed. I realize that Clinton has many faults. In fact, she has done somethings that are downright wrong, however on Saturday she left the presidential race with grace, dignity and her head held high. Senator Clinton went out with her dignity entact, which is more than I can say for MSNBC and CNN. Furthermore, now that Senator Clinton is out of the race ratings from all cable networks will go down. So to the victor goes the spoils.

Wolf …. this is like the Belmont Stakes with a horse that has broken down on the track

Put the crop away … stop trying to keep Hillary's name on the radar screen.

Much appreciated.

Also, be aware that a Gallup Poll shows Obama winning 62 percent of Latino voters nationwide, compared with 29 percent for McCain. The pro-Democratic group Democracy Corps compiled surveys from March through May that showed Obama with a 19-point lead among Latinos. And a Los Angeles Times poll last month showed Obama leading McCain by 14 points among Latinos in California.

Jan, Willow Grove, PA   June 9th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

One wonders what those "now I vote McCain" shouters are basing their vote on.

It apparently isn't the war in Iraq, because on that Clinton and Obama have almost identical positions, while McCain promises nothing but to continue GWB's course of action. It isn't the economy either, neither is it health care, environmental issues or any of the so many "policy points".

So what is it? Experience? Oh boy … experience isn't something that can be measured out of context. While Clinton and Obama promise to put their experience and hard work in for the people, McCain has his entire campaign run by Lobbyists and will put all of his political experience to work for the same people that benefit today under Bush. Is that the experience you all want in the White House? Then go ahead, let McCain finish off what even the worst President in the history of the United States wasn't able to accomplish in 8 years.

Grow Up! Once again if you are satisfied with the way this country is being run now vote McCain.McCain may have broke from his party on a few occasions, but truth is he will not do it enough to have lasting useful impact for the American people. If the Bush tax cuts were so helpful why are so many people having problems.

"First, how do you feel like the election was "stolen" for Obama? The nominee was intended to be decided based on delegates, not popular vote, so even if Clinton did win the popular vote (a dubious claim since it would involve not counting the caucus states and not giving Obama any votes from Michigan)"

…first of all, Obamas' name was not even ON the Michigan ballot. But the almighty DNC, in all their elitist combined wisdom, chose to give Sen. Obama votes and delegates anyway…and in the process…take away 4 delegates that Sen. Clinton earned. The DNC and the overtly biased media have been the problem since day 1. Is it reason enough to be angry? …absolutely. Is it reason enough to throw a Democratic WH in the toilet? …absolutely NOT.

Sen. Clinton's campaign was sabotaged from beginning to end by the pro-Obama biased media, Obama himself, the Obama campaign, Obama surrogates, and the DNC.

The DNC disenfranchised FL and MI voters and then rigged the nomination for Obama via de facto Obama surrogate House Speaker Pelosi.

The corrupt, rigged Democratic Party will see a crushing defeat in November. i will volunteer and vote for McCain in a swing state. The Obama cultists will just have to grin and bear four years of McBush.

Remember, the press isn't always accurate. So why do you chose to believe the negative stuff.

ANY voter who switches to McCain chooses to go against EVERYTHING that Hillary stood for, and I would question your claim to be a democrat in the first place.

It's a known fact that she and Obama agree on 90% of their issues.

To vote against your own interests, the interests of the people, and against everything Hillary stood for is selfish, spiteful, petty, and childish.

Thats right we are still angry. Angry at the media for being so in the bag for Obama – in fact is was his number one weapon against Hillary. CNN analyst Jeffry Toobin called the Clintons "deranged narcisists" on the final primary night in reference to her refusal to concede that night. Is this the idea of fair and objective reporting?

The rude comments and insults emanating from Obama's supporters make me realize that he brings out the worst in people. He feeds of their anger – not hope. Even now that the primary is over the Obama supporters continue to beat up on Hillary. I'm glad for her sake that it's finally over. The media will have to find a new punching bag.

Peggy - Tx   June 9th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

I care about advancing women in the workplace, politics and in their home. Hillary’s strong candidacy advanced the cause of women in America by showing that a women could indeed win the presidency, but I do not find a good role model in Hillary. She subjugated her career for her husbands, then she rode his coat tails to get as far as she did, and when things got tough she whined and played the victim. Obama offers an agenda, which I believe best advances woman by leveling the playing field when it comes to accessibility to education and health care.

Harin   June 9th, 2008 4:50 pm ET

Unfortunate if you ask me. I honestly don't think any amount of campaigning by Clinton on Obama's behalf will convince these angry, older white women. These hardcore fans disregard the issues and rules, blame everyone else (media circuits, DNC, Obama campaign) and obviously want to stick it to Obama and the DNC by voting for McCain in November.

I don't buy the experience argument against McCain from a hardcore Hillary fan. If you want experience, had Clinton won the nomination, you'd vote for epitome of experience in John McCain if you were serious about experience. It's only a big issue now amongst the hardcore fans because Obama won the nomination.

Clearly, gender and race continue to draw sharp divides amongst Democrats. Unfortunate.

Gather around the person who you best believe in your heart will be the best for this wonderful country that we are given the privelige of living in due to the soldiers who fight for that right. We want them home safely, we don't want to send our 18 year olds to fight in a war that is senseless.

You have no idea!! Why would Clinton supporters not be angry? Look at the way she was treated, you cannot say a man would be treated the same way. You all were trying to push her out since Iowa!! Is this a democracy or what? The media, including CNN, were Obama's personal PR machine. He need not have spent a nickle on ads if he did not want to, he had it for free. Even with all the media, Dean, Pelosi, and the DNC behind him, he still only "won" by the skin of his teeth. She won the popular vote. That just goes to show that he is a weak nominee., but then the DNC are very good at picking losers. Their record says it all. This is exactly why we cannot take the Whitehouse, the DNC is totally out of touch with America. Clinton was a strong, gritty, and experienced candidate. Are we trying to win the presidency or lose? I forget sometimes. I am voting for McCain as much as it pains me. I cannot in good conscience belong to the democratic party any longer.

Wolf, I don't think alot of Clintons supporters will vote for Obama in the end even if she was VP. I blame the DNC and 2nd the media coverage for this horrendous Dem. campaign. Its still going on now as this topic of Clinton supporters being angry is on every political blog.

CNN is part of that horrible coverage with the worse political hacks I have ever seen against Clinton. CNN was never like this in the past 2 elections. You didn't have Borger, Toobin, Cafferty, Martin, and Brown then either. They have trashed Clinton every single day, it was really pathetic to watch after awhile and it made them look stupid instead of intellectual.

There are many reasons Obama will not get my vote. Any President is obliged to surround himself with smart advisors who love our country and who will give considered counsel to the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. So far, Senator Obama has surrounded himself with people like Rev. Wright, Will Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko (who was convicted last week on 16 corruption charges), that insulting and despicable priest, and a congregation which shouts amen in response to hate speech and misogyny. I will never vote for him, even with Hillary on the ticket as his Vice President.

Senator Obama is a slick and eloquent newcomer who ran for President because he was a frustrated and bored junior senator who didn't want to work his way up through the ranks. He has ignored his Senate responsibilities while on the campaign trail, whereas both Senators Clinton and McCain have maintained a schedule in Washington, showing up for votes and committee meetings.

McCain is a patriot who has honorably served his country all of his adult life. I don't always agree with him, but he, at least, has my respect. He may get my vote. Obama definitely won't.

If the answer is an emphatic no as in my case, then why do we listen to the same pundits that are asking you to vote for McCain that told you to vote for George Bush. If our financial advisor told us to invest in stuff that constantly leads us to losing money, then why would we continue to listen to them. And isnt this more important than our money? So why listen to Billo, Hannity, Laura Ingram, Bill Kristol, Limbaugh, Fox etc etc and lead us astray.

Ok, what does bias media have anything to do with people researching their own facts and voting for who they desire? When the media was spewing negativity about Obama I did my own research and found that a lot of it were lies and exaggerations. I did the same thing with Hillary. Hillary won votes and so did Obama. People voted for their candidates and Hillary lost fairly. Hillary attacked Obama's integrity, but Obama never attacked Hillary in that manner. The media would follow and report every story that she used to attack obama with, but none of her scandals were ever reported on during this primary. Why is that? Because Obama never brought them up to rub in her face. That's the difference.

I'll bet Obama's plans are strikingly similar to Hillary's. BECAUSE HE STOLE THEM FROM HER. It is so typical that in our society a woman with fantastic ideas has her ideas stolen by some inexperienced, charismatic man who touts them as his own. It is disgusting, and it is very difficult to overcome the bile in my throat when I think about it. Not being able to get over the thought of vomiting when I think about what Obama and his campaign have done to Hillary and her ideas is the primary reason I will be voting for McCain. Hey, McCain can steal some of Hillary's ideas, too. Why not? Obama did. And lest we forget, the Father Pflager rant at the pulpit shows the true feelings of the Obama supporters. He and his ilk can have the Democatic Party. Many of us do not choose to belong to the Party of Hate.

Jeff E.   June 9th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

It seems to me these sore Clinton supporters need to take a hard look in the mirror. She ran an unfocused, undisciplined campaign, employing every divisive tactic in the book against a fellow Democrat. And she came up short.

I can understand the disappointment some may feel, but why the vitriole? Obama could have thrown a lot more than a "kitchen sink" her way. He didn't rolled over (as the Clintons point out, politics is a "contact sport."), but he did show restraint when others suggested he should answer the low-ball tactics in kind.

If so-called feminists actually vote for McCain out of spite, they'll set back the cause for generations to come. Roe v Wade? Overturned. Universal health care? Forget it. The Iraq war? Perpetual. Instead of throwing a tantrum, perhaps we should all think about our children's futures. Even Hillary said as much. If you think so highly of her, perhaps you should follow her lead.

DJ, LA, CA   June 9th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

Yes it makes no sense at all why such hostility and anger. Especially since Obama and Clinton have such similar views. Obama was just more of the anti-lobbyist candidate and advocated more use of diplomacy. Other than that, why such anger?

Honestlady   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

For those of you who are saying that you were voting for Hillary based on her experience. Please detail out exactly what experience you are referring to. Old age does not equate to experience.

Gary Chandler in Canada   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Hillary changed the landcsape with her 3 AM ads, her promotion that she was the only one ready from day 1, and her comments that McCain would make a better prez,,, <so NOT true by the way.
Hockey is a rough game, but when someone attacks the goalie, the other team will pour over the benches!
It was the Clinton Camp who opened up the floodgates of animosity.
(It's been reported McCain is making ads using hillary's comments. That proves who the dirty player was!)
Blame the media for reporting when the facts!? Were they supposed to turn a blind eye to 'kitchen sinks' flying through the air?
HRC just could not close the deal!

William, from Cali   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

They are not "Angry", those are the ones; that Obama was speaking of; along with those in Pa., Texas, and Ohio. "Bitter" Americans, who will not vote for a Black-American, any time or at any cost. That's the reality, in America…………Believe that!!!!

SM   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

My choice is between another war monger and a smooth talker. Yes, I will not be voting in the fall.

Goldie, Los Angeles   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

Bring what party together? They chose to divide themselves. With the help of the media that is. NOW they want to bring the party together for November? They should have thought about that all along!

McCain in November. I'm voting the best candidate on the ticket. McCain has LONG served this country properly.

And Obama talks about working "aross the aisle" like it's a new thing! McCain has been doing this even before Obama could wipe his behind properly!

Kevin   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Before the election, Clinton and Obama agreed the results from Michigan and Florida would not count. Then she flip-flopped and said they should.

She got a large amount of votes in Michigan and Florida from name recognition. Obama never campagned there. If he did, the results would have been closer.

PATTY   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

TRUE CLINTON SUPPORTERS WILL STEPUP TO THE COMMON CAUSE THAT OBAMA & CLINTON SHARE…NO MORE OF BUSH-LIKE YEARS. THESE OTHER RADICAL SUPPORTERS NEED TO GIVE IT A REST…THE BEST PLACE FOR CLINTON IS THE HEALTHCARE REFORM, NOT VP. LET HER FOCUS HER ENERGY & EXPERTISE ON THAT!

NoBama 4 Ever!   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

The war in Iraq is being misconstrued. Hey I for one am tired of the free rides that these young college kids get these days. I say Let them earn their diplomas!
Go McCain/Bush!

Dee Tee Gee Arlington, TX   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

Will someone explain to me how Hillary Clinton was treated so unfairly? The Hillary backers talk as if they never said anything ugly to Obama backers. Hillary got away with statements that would've ended Obama's campaign had he said anything remotely close to it. Hillary said all she needed was the blue collar, hard working white vote to win & it barely made headlines. Now had Obama said all he needed to win was the black vote, his campaign would be over. Hilary's supporters are sore losers. Their candidate underestimated her opponent & she totally misread a lot of white people in this country thinking they wouldn't vote for a black man. She was ill-prepared & lackadaisical in campaigning in some states & Obama took advantage. He ran the better campaign, nothing more, nothing less. This is one Obama backer who refuses to kiss the butts of Hillary supporters. Vote for McCain, you're hurting yourself along with the entire country. Or don't vote at all, but keep your whining to yourself.

Marie in California   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

You're right that many of Clinton's supporters are still angry, and have every right to be. The best candidate in the Democratic race got thrown under the bus by the DNC and supers as they pushed, shoved and dragged Obama across the finish line to GIVE him the nomination. He was selected…..not elected. Puh…..leeeeze!

We'll remember that when we pull the lever for McCain in November…..not out of spite, but simply because McCain is the best remaining choice. Obama is a totally inadequate and inexperienced candidate. I don't want an American Idol in the White House!

There are far more important things in life than "party loyalty."

Citizens for McCain!

Indyvoter4Hillary   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

It is funny that people blame Bush for all that has gone wrong in the US. Do people even remember that we have a house and senate that votes? Isn't it the DNC that has the most vote.
If they are going to blame someone blame the party leaders! Bush did not create this mess by himself.
Saying Obama will fix all is a joke.

kat   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

THE DNC IS A MESSED UP PARTY –WHY WOULD ANYONE SUPPORT THAT–SIMPLY VOTE FOR THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB NOT JUST A PARTY LINE

ed   June 9th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Most of the Hillary supporters that will vote McCain are truly racist… The only true reason for going agianst what your canidate stands for and voting for someone that is the opposite on topics. Iraq war, healthcare, economy, jobs, gas. It belittles me to know that people would rather vote for someone like that than vote to better the country. What were you voting for in Clinton? Her looks, the idea that she is a woman or her views. If it is her views, Obamas are not that far off but ask yourself where her views fall in line with McCain. So the only thing that leaves me to guess of why to vote McCain is out of Racism!

Liar, Liar pants on fire   June 9th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Who cares? Latinos were supporting Hillary, they now support Obama so you cannot go by the numbers from the primary. Hillary won California in the primary, now California is for Obama. The 18 million is a thing of the past. Those that hold out will not make a difference.

People want change! The Hillary supporters who vote for McCain aren't Democrats anymore. They support a Republican so they should be referred to as Republican.

That's okay. We Obama supporters will help Hillary. We will throw our arms around her because that's just what we do. We unite. Don't get me wrong, we are fighters and will kick your butt. But when the fight is over and your a Democrat, we embrace you. That's just how we are.

But to the "New Republicans", we will kick your butts again….because we are true DEMOCRATS

kr   June 9th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

Hillary needs to tell her supporters to turn down the rhetoric!!!
It is not OBAMA`s fault she lost. She ran a terrible campaign.
They should be angry with her. She did not run as a Feminist, womes issues candidate. She ran as the tougher than nails candidate with testicular fortitude…..Remember? She only started talking about the womens vote after she was losing and started cyring Sexism, to get the sympathy vote. Just like counting MI and Fl after she was losing. Saying early on they did not count.

I am a woman and ashamed of the campaign she ran. I prefered OBAMA and his message from the beginning, but felt I could be happy with Clinton also and would have voted for her if she had one because her policies and OBAMAS are very similar. I still would have but, I have lost respect for her.
But, her supporters have to grow up and face up to the facts and stop blaming Obama for their disappointment.

Debra   June 9th, 2008 4:42 pm ET

They are angry because Clinton had them under the illusion that she could win, The night he won the nomination she was introduced as the next president. All this talk of sexism was trumped up too, She didn't lose the nominatiioon because she was a woman. I beleive more people didn't vote for Obama because he was black than those who didn't vote for Hillary becasue she was a woman. Her speech on Saturday was a start,

SDunn   June 9th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Omgosh can you people stop whining about the DNC! MI & FL broke the rules due to Democratic and Republicans voting on the same legislation to move up their primary. It wasn't just Repbulicans who voted for that in Florida. In Michigan, Democrats voted to move up their primary. They broke the rules and their delegates should've been divided in half. It's only fair. Again, Hillary had no problem with it in the beginning when she thought she had this primary fight locked up before it even began. She had no problem signing that declaration that MI and FL would receive no delegates. Hillary ran a great campaign, but she wasn't well organized, she changed her campaign slogan more than once, and she really didn't find her voice until the end of the primary season. Obama just ran a better campaign and he deserved to win He played by the rules and it wasn't until Hillary was losing that she wanted to start protesting about FL & MI. If you all are still blind to that then that's your problem.

Pappu   June 9th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

I have read all the hateful comments against the Clintons's by the Obama people and cannot help wondering where so much vile is coming from. From their leader, who got it from his church? I am not supporting these people or their leader.

FAKE HILLARY SUPPORTERS   June 9th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

ALERT FAKE HILLARY SUPPORTERS … you say you support Senator Clinton, do you understand where she stands on the issues, she is the complete opposite of Senator McCain on the issues? How can you vote for McCain who laughed when Senator Clinton was called a female dog (I have the link but cnn won't post my comment if I include the link), or when he made a really bad joke about Chelsea Clinton who was only 18 at the time (I have the link but cnn won't post my comment if I include the link)

Lynn   June 9th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

Oh my. I just heard the Vice-President team is getting advice from people like Pelosi on Capitol Hill. Stupid —- Its simple she got 18 million votes. His aggrogance just keeps on going. Example playing golf while she was giving a speech for our vote to go to him. 18 million voters he does not want our vote and he thinks he does not need it.

Donna in ID   June 9th, 2008 4:41 pm ET

If she would have lost to some one I felt I could trust then that would be the way things go. But then Hillary wasn't only fighting against Obama she had to fight the Media that nit picked everything she said. I could make a list of things that the media let slide from his mouth and then the behind the scenes of Obama people and the bad mouthing from them. They should all have been fired if he was running the "clean non biased campagne" he claimed . But their bad mouths got their job done. SOOOOOO many people brainwashed.
SOOOOO SAD

jason   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

i've yet to see a single hillary supporter claim that they disagree with his policies – let alone why.

M.K. Ozman   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Why is it that African Americans are racist when they voted 90% for Barack Obama and they are not racist when they voted 85% to elect President Bill Clinton in 1996? And why are Hillary supporters not fuming about the sexist majority of women voting for her? Or are those angry will-vote-McCain posts really not Hillary supporters but just clandestine Republicans egging and exploiting division among the Democrats? The fact of the matter is that true Democrats will not vote because it is Hillary, Obama, or McCain for that matter, they will vote on the basis of the stand of the candidate on issues that impact their life and conscience. I am independent and I am voting for Obama not because I am obsessed with the man, whom I only recently began to accept, but because he stands closer to where I stand on the issues. That’s what matters here.

Zachra   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Could the harsh treatment of Hillary maybe be attributed to the way her campaign behaved after they started losing the race in Iowa? It wasn't the most wholesome of campaigns, folks.

And I still cannot believe there are people that don't understand why Florida and Michigan were split up how they were.

Mike in IL   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

Everyone should be upset… not just at the primary results… the fact that our country is willing to nominate someone that has little or no experience just because he is a man… it is very sad that woman can not get a fair shake when it comes to executive positions…

I can not believe that the democrats are going to send someone that is going to lose… the last few months he limped to the finish line because he could not get the support of the base of his party…

All of this is at a time when our country needs a strong experienced leader that can get this country on the right track!!!

Patty   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

I'm voting for John McCain, not because Obama apparently won the Democratic nomination, but because John McCain is a stronger candidate than Obama.

We currently have an arrogant novice in the White House. We don't need another one sitting there, smirking emptily.

TV   June 9th, 2008 4:40 pm ET

I love you Hillary and Thank YOU!

Obama Supporter

Gary, Los Angeles   June 9th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

All I know is this . . . the Clintons did not deserve what the Democratic Party did to them. They should leave that party. They're a political force on their own. McCain in November now.

I could see the Republicans laughing their way into the White House again come November. Serves the Demoratic Party right! Wait another four years you fools!

Elaine   June 9th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Thanks alot Wolfe. You got them going again.

Stop the insanity.

peter   June 9th, 2008 4:39 pm ET

Go Wolf

BVS Maine   June 9th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

I say get over it, move on. Clinton and Obama are just about equal when it comes to the issues, and hopefully the voters will vote on the issues and not some demented sense of revenge that has been created because HRC is not the nominee. A vote for McCain is a vote for more Bush, more BS, more war, more innocent lives lost more destruction to the environment and perpetual lack of real progress. If Clinton supporters really vote for McCain, then it shows just how uneducated they are.

Jaci   June 9th, 2008 4:38 pm ET

For all those Women who are Hillary supports who will now support McCain, please read the article "The Woman McCain Left Behind".
How could you vote for such a creep!

jason   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

well, she ran a negative campaign, so what do you expect? she attracted those who thrive on negativity, and that's what she has. She will not be able to turn them into Obama supporters be being positive about Obama. Her only hope is to turn them against McCain, by being negative towards him.

also, angry and bitter are sort of synonyms. I thought it was elitist to call people angry or bitter (sad that speaking the truth is considered elitism among hillary supporters).

No, i think they are a lost cause. We can only hope that there are less of the rabid hillary supporters than the media lets on.

Kevin   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I have been watching coverage for over a year and have never seen a pundit say a sexist thing at all. Is this an urban myth are something? I think most Hillary supporters do not really know what is going on and do not seek facts.

sherrie50   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I followed the election daily, and it was the most biased election toward HC that I had ever witnessed. That is not the role of the media as they should show fairness and unbiased presentation of the candidates. If it was a fair election between OB and HC , then no would be angry.

judy   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Wolf, it is only June and the election in November 5 months away.
Do you really think all these huffing and puffing Clinton supporters will truly vote for McCain, if they do it will be four more years of what the US is experiencing now.. high prices, no health care for the poor, etc.
I cannot understand why you still have these Clinton topics. It is Obama and McCain who are running for president and that is what you should be focussing on. Issues to make sure the general public are aware of the differences so they can a sane choice for change!

Urban Stump   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

If you guys want to vote against your interest, be my guess. It still won't put Hillary in the white house!

Hillary and Bill made $109 mill in one year…more than most of her supporters will make in two/three lifetimes!

Hillary will go on with her life/career and we'll be stuck with McCain!

I said the same thing about all those who reelected Bush for a 2nd term…I don't feel sorry for any of you! And I won't feel sorry for the Hillary supporters if they vote for McCain and he wins…..

I have God on my side "I'm going to be alright"

Think About It!

Free Iraq Flights!   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I love McCain because he said he would give me and two of my best friends free airfare to see Europe. I'm typing with one hand and packing with the other! Go McBush! Boo Obama!

George, Los Angeles   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

McCain in November! Another 4 years of Republican rule. And then Hillary Clinton in 2012. When will the Democratic Party learn?

Don't they know that only the Clintons can beat the Republians in modern day politics? The Republicans know it . . .

Andrea, Pensacola FL   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

McCain is pro-War. McCain is Pro-Nafta. McCain is Pro-Bush failed ecomonic policies. McCain is against the women's right to choose.

McCain will only continue the failed GW Bush policies. McCain will be a disaster for America.

John McCain said he disagrees with what Americans want. And John McCain said that yes, he says things for his own ambitions, even if he knows what he said is not true!

moeen   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Whats missing is GRACE.

One of the easiet way we can turn this country into a THIR-WORLD one is by eroding whatever amount of GRACE left…..where political leaders/supporters never ever takes a loss gracefully.

vote for mccain   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

It's crystal clear to me now why republicans are so much better suited to winning national elections. They are idea driven rather than person driven, They are disciplined. They believe no matter who their guy was in the primary, the REPUBLICAN is now their guy even if they hated him 14 minutes ago. They now LOVE their guy for a simple reason: THEY HATE OUR GUY. ( colloquial; not intended to be gender dismissive) They will work like dogs even though their worst guy is better than our best guy

We can exchange slights and hurt feelings if you want. I'd rather beat the republicans … but then some believe this is about revenge

Kathy Stinnette   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

As far as I can see I will not vote for BHO. I think Senator Clinton was done a dirty job not only by Him but the entire Democratic party. They knew right from the Iowas caucus that Obama was who they wanted and the left wing of the Democratic Party did everything they could to bring Clinton down. I hope they are pleased because they may get what they wish and hope for and then all hell will break loose.

Hillary Supporter for Obama   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

Hillary wants Obama to win. So if you vote for McCain, you're voting against Hillary. Don't you believe in Hillary Clinton? I do. That's why I support Obama, just as she does. I don't understand why a Clinton supporter would ever want McCain in office, since he's the complete OPPOSITE of Clinton.

Demo Okie   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

The judgment of Hillary lost her the nomination. The judgment of these hardcore supporters is irrational. They are beyond reason. It was never about the Candidates but about the direction of the country. I guess that's why HRC supporters held her on a pedestal and shouted "Hillary" at her rallys and can't see to let go now. Obama supporters were shouting "Yes we can" and most of us believed in the direction, which is why we were prepared to vote for Hillary if she won fairly. There was no stealing or selecting Obama. If anything Clinton ran a campaign that was prepared to Steal the election using the superdelegates, but most of them were wise enough to realize how detrimental that would have been.

It's time to move on. No one robbed you of anything. You only rob yourselves of any dignity or respect in public by these irrational cries. Obviously you saw a different race than what I witnessed.

Helene   June 9th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

What is the point in rehashing continuously the why and how Clinton lost the nomination. As she pointed out herself correctly in her speech "Don't go there". The most important matter for all democrats is to unite and beat McCain. The Clinton's supporters who claim that they are ready to vote for 4 more years of Bush are deluding themselves and hurting everybody.

A View   June 9th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We need change and the change we need is for Bush to resign, Cheney to resign and appoint McCain to finish the term and start another. Then he can retire and we will hire Hillary who will get us out of this hard slog of an economy and the war in Iraq.

Some things change and somethings never will. We need change but we need the right change. Let's not fall for some cotton candy speaking guy from IL. He is truly an empty suiter, born in Hawaii, raised in Indonesia (think Muslim) and then brought to the mainland. His values are not my values.

By the way , "fist bumping" (think Obama and Michelle at the cornonation speech) may be all right, but it could lead to foot bumping and that may not be okay. Ask Larry Craig about that. But fist bumping is catching on; can you imagine Obama greeting Putin with a good fist bump. Or how about Castro? Give me a break.

Hillary won the most electoral votes. Yeah, the DNC appointed Obamus because he captured states like Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska. I think when you added their votes up it was something like nothing. Give me a break. If you wanted a winner DNC would have appointed Hillary, not the inexperienced candidate. I am so upset.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Gina, Los Angeles   June 9th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

It's either Hillary Clinton in 2008 – or McCain. So be it. McCain in November. Barack Obama is going to lose this election. And that's exactly what the Democratic Party deserve.

Blundering idiots! They fell for the Republican strategy. Go McCain!

Wolf   June 9th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

I am one of the Clinton supporters who really has no patience or taste for the underhanded dealings of the DNC and their Rules Committee. They gave Senator Obama delegates and votes that he did not earn. He was not on the ballot. Call that a political blunder…so he got rewarded and Clinton got cheated. It is this New Democratic Party way and look at who is the presumptive leader??? Barak Obama. If he was going to make changes as he claims he could have already done so by getting rid of Howard Dean. But I'll bet it was Dean saying to Obama….I'll get you the nomination and I keep my job!

So as a former Democrat, now registered Independent….it goes alot further than just not liking Senator Obama's brand of politics or that he flip flops, or anything else – it is the Democratic Party that abandoned it's virtues and basic principals. Since when does not every vote count??? Only when Donna Brazile has her paws in the mix. She was with Gore for 2000 in Florida and look at what she has done now in 2008. Donna Brazile said on George S on ABC in February 2008 that if the super delegates choose the Presidental Nominee she would quit the DNC. Obama should hold her to her word…..course, he has no loyalty either so why should he.

COUNTRY FIRST – PARTY SECOND!

BIFF, BIFFINGTON...   June 9th, 2008 4:35 pm ET

IT COULD NOT BE MORE OBVIOUS THAT THESE SUPER-NASTY ATTACKS TOWARD OBAMA ARE COMING FROM FAKE HILLARY POSERS.

THESE STUPID COMMENTS ARE ALL SO 'DIVISIVE'. THE WORDING CHOSEN CAREFULLY FOR MAXIMUM DIVISIVE IMPACT….

MOST OF US ARE NOT THAT STUPID, RE-THUGLICANS….

peter   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Karen you are right

election watcher   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

Obama's best ideas were cribbed from Hillary's cliff notes. His worst ideas are a replay of good ol' politics as usual at best, and Bush policy in a new envelope at worst. He only "clinched" the nomination when the DNC tossed Michigan delegates into his basket as a freebie, even though his name wasn't even on the MI ballot.
Meanwhile McCain bucked the republican party line so they were ready to leave him out in the cold, but when it turned out the average american voter pretty much agreed with him on a lot of critical issues, when Dem or Rep, he got the nom despite the RNC's best efforts to give it to Romney. McCain by choice it is then.

Guy, Los Angeles   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

McCain in November. The Democratic Party should pay for what they did to Hillary Clinton. A bunch of idiots! Clinton 2012. Fair and square this time. No cheating guys!

peter   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

EX-Hillary Support dont lie you are Obama suppoter you are the lier.

Clinton Supporter   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Dear Debbie in New Jersey:

Clinton supporters did not donate as much as the Obama chardonnay drinking vegetarians because they are the ordinary people that made America great. (I'm sure you must be quite "extraordinary" yourself) They don't have your kind of money. The moral of the story is do not vote for Obama unless you are really well off.

Obama and wife struggled to pay off Harvard and Princeton student loans. Michelle, by her own admission, had trouble getting into Princeton until she "got some help." What kind of help would that be? Having her as first lady scares me.

KMAN   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Too bad so many of her supports only supported her with their whining mouths instead of with their money … she wouldn't be $30 million in the hole right now. Not such a great example of fiscal responsibility on her part, huh?

cherry strawberry   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

"Branding a lot of Clinton's supporters as "old, bitter white women."

and that is exactly what you you are proving yourselfs to be…….however, you forgot ugly

Molly   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I know that you guys who loved Hil are upset, and I understand. I would be just as upset if Obama lost. However, I would not use racism, like many are using sexism, as an excuse for being irrational and stubborn. If you truly supported Hillary and still do, you will listen to her call to unite with your fellow Democrats. If you vote for McCain, you are not being consistent in your political views. Also, it's a pretty big slap in the face to Hillary.

Slected not Elected   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

To all the paid bloggers, Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

telling it like it is   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

and who cares??? if you are a clinton supporter threatening to vote for mccain, please do that and dont complain when you are paying $7 a gallon for gas,

no universal health insurance,

permanent tax cuts for the wealthy while you still continue to pay your taxes and waiting for another stimulus of $600 and guess where it ends up in the pockets of the rich folks who got a permanent tax cuts,

innocent men and women being killed in iraq ,infact i dont think you care about those soilders futhermore you can whine and complain you are at the safety of your home typing without a care, ask soilders who have gone to iraq for multiple tours, maybe you might wake up and realize that old gizzer is not the answer to american problems

No way you say, i feel the same.

donna   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Florida and Michigan disenfranchised their own people, the DNC did not…there were rules in place and they broke them..they should have been punished..plain and simple..it's called LIFE..we all have rules to live by and when we break them, there are consequences..

This is another glossed over reason to be upset about the turn of events that were not in Hillary's favor…she agreed to the rules and that's that….

The DNC compromise was a generous offer when those two states should have gotten NOTHING at all…

Patty   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

From commenter Barry above:
If in anyway it seems as if Obama lost the GE because of lack of support from Clinton and/or her supporters, then Clinton's political career is over. Then who will you root for if that happened.
——————————————————————————————-
The above comment is why I do not support Obama nor will I. It appears both this poster and others seem to think their candidate is so weak that he can't win without Hillary and that he is unable to go campaign on his own. Therefore I say, take your false racist cries, take your comments about my intelligence, background and age, and go win the election for him on your own. You will never win me over with threats such as that above and if that is the case, then Hillary should have been the nominee in the first place.

HILLARY 2012

Diane Johnson   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

I am one of many highly educated older women, and men, who are so angry at the DNC, we may switch parties and take back the Republican party.
We feel Obama's only hope is Hillary as his VP and closest advisor. The DNC is blind. Yes, we KNOW the press is sexist. Pundits are a disgrace. I am thinking about canceling my cable. TV journalism took a nasty turn in 2008.

averageanne   June 9th, 2008 4:33 pm ET

Many women including myself feel that the Media careened over Senator Clinton with a steamroller. Senator Obama was rude at the start , when he kept calling Senator Clinton- Hillary. I will either write in Senator Clinto on my ballot or vote for McCain if he does not choose Romney as a running mate.
Yes, we are MAD and not going to encourage bad behavior by voting for a Speechmaker with no record of voting except present!

Tucson, AZ   June 9th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

It is a shame that this election season, as exciting as it has been, has turned into high school behavior. I regret to feed the flames, however, I have to say that Clinton supporters should be ashamed of themselves. Listen to yourselves and realize how selfish and immature you are behaving and just like the media did for Clinton they are enabling your asinine behavior by considering that it is warranted. Senator Obama won fair and square and this is about the country and not about YOU! Get over it and support the democratic ideals you claim to advocate. This outcome of this election will have such a great impact on your children and grandchildren. Stop whining and throw your support behind the democratic nominee already.

Kevin   June 9th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Jonah from NJ   June 9th, 2008 4:32 pm ET

Mr. Blitzer,
I find it entertaining that Hillary's supporters (especially the women) would endorse the candidate that would overturn Roe vs Wade. Hey in America anything is possible!

Don't be a Victim!   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Beware the Republican Smear Machine . . .it is seeking to foster divisiveness amongst us dems as we speak! Free this country from the right's failed policies!! Obama-Clinton 08!

P.S.

As an aside look at the amount of the alleged Hillary supporters on this thread who refer to the media as the "liberal media." Hillary supporters may be mad at the media, but a true Hillary supporter would NEVER use that term. The GOP is among us. Please beware!

HILLARY PLEASE I dont want you to be the VP.
You are number 1 no number 2.

TV   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Listen if Barack did something very foul to win this nomination than I have no problem with a democrat voting for McCain. I would have done the same if Hillary had cheated, There is no evidence of Barack doing any wrong to win so if you were a hillary backer and you are going to vote for McCain because Hillary did not win you are so wrong period. I did not want Hillary to win , but if she won fair and square I would grudgingly vote for her because she is a democrat and what she would bring to America despite how I personally feel about her.Like Hillary said long before her concession the differences between her and Barack pale in comparison to the differences between her and McCain.
I want to give the angry Hillary backers some space , but there is a cut off point when you need to grow up and stop having the temper tantrum.
If you are saitisfied with the way this economy is running with the 4.00+ a gallon gas( and climbing), the war in iraq, housing crisis and the wounderful way FEMA handles crises than go ahead and vote for McCain! I am sure Hillary would be proud of you.
If she can suck it in like a solider and support her opponent and you truly admired her you would follow her lead.
I respect her more now than ever since she is focused on what is good for the country.She may verbally be stronger than Obama, but that is water under the bridge.Their stand on the issues are nearly identical.I have never until now wanted to chant Hillary! She has flaws and so does he , but you need to think about what this country needs in terms of policy and once again Barack and Hillary are nearly identical! If you all showed up in '04 to support John Kerry we wouldn't be going through this, So don't be stupid and throw away another 4 years to republican rule.

Ron L   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

WOLFE,
You REALLY NEED to get off of this for about a month or two. Give the Hillary supporters sometime to take a deep breath.
THERE IS A LOT MORE FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT…FIND IT…
You have been doing this job for a long time…prove it by NOT talking about almost the same thing EVERYDAY…
YOU CAN DO BETTER…Can't you??? Or am I giving you too much credit??
If you need help..write a blog asking.. I am sure your viewers will be glad to help.

Richard from MA   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Obama is the presumptive democratic nominee because his campaign pictured HRC as an evil. Now, their new strategy is to convince HRC's die hard supporters to switch to their bandwagon for the general elections….
Tom Dashle the Obama campaign co-chair publicly stated that they do not need HRC to win in November, therefore the BHO campaign should show the World what they are capable of without HRC. Let wait and see!

Susan   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

As strong Democrats, we feel the DNC handled the situation wrong.

And we, along with others, feel the news media, gave her unfair coverage.

What can make things right with Clinton supporters, is to have Clinton as the Vice President. And it would help Obama.

Obama/Hillary 08

Obama is the One   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Wolf, get over it and STOP trying to force Obama's hand to have him choose Clinton as VP. He will make the best and wisest decision with such skewed commentary. We already know some Clinton supporters are upset. We already know that having her supporters back Obama would be good for him. Thet's as simple as 1 + 1. This is NOT a newsstory, or even an interesting topic for blogosphere discussion.

BH   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Wolf, we Hillary supporters would like to thank you, Anderson Cooper, and David Geregan for being fair to her. You are not part of the media that was biased. But I will have a hard time ever to watch those biased talking heads on television. It was disgusting to watch Ronald Martin, Jack Cafferty, Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, Campbell Brown etc. They took any words out of the Clinton camp, twisted them, manipulated them and spinned them to win the nomination for the weakest candidate they can find. These disgusting people killed the fighter with hate and bias.

Obama winning the nomination is a joke. Raking up caucua dlegates in the great states of Idaho, Utah, Kansas etc. Give me a break.

Eric   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

As if Obama did not suffer from the medias. Just take a look at your own Dobbs, who was trying to make a whole program out of such important issues like the "sweetie comment". Every one of your shows would bring the infamous Lanny Davis to defend Hillary, even though he does not have any credibility left to defend for himself. If Hillary's supporters want to do a meaningful job, they should attack the media for a coverage that was superfiacial, trapped in non-issue, divisive and poorly informative.

Nick Saha   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

News/opinion programs like MSNBC shows w/ Chris Matthews and Keith O. should not be allowed to go on the air waves as they are irresponsible, non-objective, totally biased and mean spirited.
They are as low as O'Reily or Hanity shows on FOX network.
Media definitely has reponsibility. I have no respect for the like of Washington Post, Huffinton Post or LA Times etc. These people intentionally hurt Hillary to help Obama for the heck of making "history".
I am a lifelong Democrat and this time I felt disgusted w/ media coverage in general. People like Tim Russet should be ashamed of biased commentatay and soft interviews w/ Obama.

don smith   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

i am interested in government and know in california we have a republican governer because he was best candidate even though his wife is a famous democart. I see no reason to vote for Obama as his company rezco has been convicted of a felony and he supplied Obama with funding. Also in his Book Obama mentioned Malcom x as a mentor for his thinking. His thinking to my mind is not only socialist but communist if you consider any work on ideology. Ideologicall he will socialize medicine like Russia. I think there is no other choice now but McCain. He loves America and has been prepared to sacrifice his life for his country. Dr McCain also is more intelligent and one who was not helped by affirmative action. I voted for Hilary as best candidate but i do not think Obama is suitable for the job in terms of his spirtual advisers and his support of them

loyal democrats for Obama   June 9th, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Well cnn you have to stop these kind of posting, I believe most Hillary supporters will vote for Obama. Primary is a process to select a candidate not a process to split party. Democrats doesn't practice monarchy so therefore its most go through series primaries and caucuses to choose a candidate.

I believe most people who said they were Hillary supporters and won't vote for Obama are Republicans.

Some states allowed both parties to vote either ways and its doesn't means they will vote the same way comes general election.

Mind you this is facts , those people are not DEMOCRATS and they are there to convince disappointed democrats to vote for Maccain. DEMOCRATS BEWARE.

I am angry.
I am angry that Clinton lied on more than one occasion, arrogantly dismissed voters in the caucus states, praised McCain at the expense of her Democratic colleague and tried to change the rules mid game.
For me, she was a huge disappointment, and Obama more than compensates.

Obama supporters have been disrespectful and hateful towards Clinton and her supporters. Branding a lot of Clinton's supporters as "old, bitter white women." Really? These women are your mother, aunt, sister, grandmother, etc. I refuse to vote for Obama even if Hillary is the vp, why should she play second fiddle to him?

CNN and other news channels would have made Hitler's propaganda minister proud. The bias towards Obama was unprofessional and appalling. All us "old, bitter white women" won't forget this in Nov.

McCain gets my vote and money.

cherry strawberry   June 9th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I get so sick of people calling Obama "an arrogant black man" I have never heard Bush called "an arrogant whiite man"…or is it that Blacks should me Oh soooo grateful to go to Harvard and Princeton, make a six figure living, and/orshuck and jive and be a good little N Word on the knees groveling and thankful for just being in the white man's shadow.

and for those who have commented that Blacks overwelmingly voted for Barack cause he is Black……YOU ARE DARN RIGHT…..YAWL didnt have Jack to say when we voted for every white candate…we have a Right to be Proud and FINALLY I can show my Son that he too can Dream! Much like the Hillary fanatics can show thier daughters. All is fair

CAL Grrl   June 9th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

I hardly read Wolf's post – I don't need his opinion. For the life of me I cannot understand why some people are saying the primaries were "stolen" from HRC. She won an awful lot of them, right? Obama just won more – especially in caucus states. I voted for Hillary myself.

But now that Obama is the Democratic nominee I would NEVER ever vote for a Republican, particularly McCain who doesn't have a handle on what's really happening in our country, and flips & flops all the time. His gets a Zero on Women's rights. Hillary would NEVER vote for or support him. Why would you? I know there's still sexism in this land, and a LOT of racism.
Calm Down…..and focus on the Democrats winning in November!

Kathy   June 9th, 2008 4:28 pm ET

The DNC failed its constituents’ miserably in falling to acknowledge every vote cast and counted in Michigan and Florida..period. The principals for which the party was founded are simple…one voice..one vote. As far as the “rules” pertaining to the date of which a state is suppose to hold its primary—I say—to hell with these arbitrary rules put in place by political party elitists—they undermine the founding principles of the party by disenfranchising those who showed up to vote. The voters in these states had no voice in these decisions, but they went to the polls anyway, and they voted, even if they voted “uncommitted”. And this nonsense about how these votes would not count because they broke the rules, thus possible encouraging these voters to stay home—I say ridiculous. If you are a registered voter and as so, those that did not go to the polls—well I guess they did not take their privilege to vote seriously.
By disenfranchising those that did vote, the DNC intentionally disenfranchised and abandoned the strongest candidate to head the ticket- Hillary. She with her tremendous strength, knowledge and courage was tossed aside for an ill-qualified community organizer with two years of Senate experience. Let me make clear, I do not hate Obama however I firmly believe him to be the weakest candidate to head the ticket. Those same party leaders did not have the courage to realize this and they will pay a price for their stupidity. I have heard those same party leaders repeatedly say, well gee, what would we say to the African American voter, and all those newly registered college folk who backed Obama—that would be a against our principals to “take” the nomination away from him, I say BULL. To the 92% of the African Americans and those college folk who apparently voted overwhelmingly for Obama, I ask…. where have you been all these years when the party needed your votes in prior elections—-then you stayed home, or failed to register and vote.
I have been a loyal supporter of the party my entire adult life—no more. You have shown me time and time again that you are gutless and have no clear clue how to win elections. You lack the vision and the wisdom to do anything other than pat your own pockets and run from the truth—for shame.
I do not speak for all Hillary supporters, though I do hope I speak for many of them when I say to the party…. you have failed us—you have failed Hillary, and you will once again fail to win the White House, and because of your failure—the party WILL pay a high price. I watched and listen to Hillary ask her supporters to now throw their support to Obama, for the sake of the party. Hillary is a loyalist to the party—why, I’m not sure—because I am no longer so. Well with the deepest respect for Hillary, I will not, with my vote, allow the “rape” of her candidacy to continue. Come Nov I will exercise my right and vote for McCain—two can play the same game. I respect Hillary tremendously, however the party and the process did her wrong and this cannot stand. YES THIS WILL BE A PROTEST VOTE, a vote against the DNC-you need to clean your act up and remember your core constituents, because “Yes We Can” make a difference.
I am not afraid of McCain, he does not represent 4 more years of Bush—no one could possibly be that stupid. I believe him to be a man of honor who will do his best for this country and its people that he cares deeply for, and for that reason I will place my hope with him. I’d rather hedge my bet on a man of honor than to vote for the voice of chatter. who promises everything to everyone. I say go back to Chicago, drink your green tea and eat your arugula, and O by the way, clean up the mess in your own back yard. And one last thing—no I am not “bitter”—disenfranchised and very angry at the party—yes.

Of course Hillary's supporters are upset. Just look at the media coverage. From Chris Matthews (the only reason Hillary is a candidate is that her husband messed with Monica) to David Schuster (kinda like pimping Chelsea) to Keith Olbermann to all of the other MSNBC and CNN types who were oozing for Obama, the media coverage was biased and unfair. Obama was the media darling and the media got what it wanted. Watch Fox for fair coverage, and vote McCain for a Presidency that will reach across party lines.

Kevin   June 9th, 2008 4:26 pm ET

Which candidate has been treated unfairly?

Last time I checked Obama was being ridiculed for flag pins, being black, having a renegade preacher, being Muslim, having an Arab sounding middle name, having his supporters get doors slammed in their faces by racists, having Clinton say "Shame on You," having his name replaced with Osama, etc.

He also has to have Secret Service protection, probably due to threats against his life.

The problem is that people are too scared of Clinton to tell her and her supporters the truth:

she got beat by the better candidate! There was no bias!

On another note, could you imagine the outrage that bloggers would be posting if this were the other way around? They'd be out to linch Hillary! Wow… its amazing to think sometimes, huh!

Lynn   June 9th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Sorry for my previous comments by my mispelled wordsI'm living on 5 hours asleep with working two jobs. To add a comment to that if it gets printed. Obama is just not qualified for President. He has no experience. If the campaign had been fair by all, Hillary supporters would have welcome him inspite of his lack of experience. His Republican tactics was to swiftboat Hillary and sadly with the help of the young college students it worked.

Alice   June 9th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

Please find another story. Let the HRC supporters run through their grieving and healing process.

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Acceptance
4. Action

Clearly, we're in stage 2 here. Any rational person that lines up with HRC positions would be insane to back McCain's politics. So, this vote McCain option is just emotion and grief talking. Stop picking on them. Let them get to acceptance and then into action which is for the Democrats to win the presidency.

HRC is the consummate profession and she will lead her supports down the right path in due time. While you may find it amusing and news worthing Wolf, your focusing peoples' anger at this moment is not very helpful and lacking sensitivity.

Andy Looks at the facts   June 9th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

If there are angry clinton supporters that want to switch over to the mccain side, then so be it. That is the choice and the freedom they have. However, the election ballot doesn´t ask for a reason of why you voted for the candidate you did. Therefore, drop the grudge, if you were a democratic for Hillary, you are a democrat for obama…if you were a republican for Hillary, then now you can be a republican for mccain- but those ignorant people that get hung up on obama´s middle name, the fact that clinton didn´t win, or whatever other reason to be angry at obama or the DNC- i urge you all to look to the issues for this election, because a democrat that votes for mccain is only spiting himself and and his beliefs….YOUR VOTES FOR MCCAIN WILL NOT PROPERLY EXPRESS YOUR ANGER FOR CLINTONS LOSS- THEY ARE JUST ANOTHER VOTE TO MCCAIN TO CONTINUE BUSH´S FAILED POLICIES

Happily Independent   June 9th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

I am sure some of Clinton supporters are still angry. It was a long, hard-fought primary. Clinton supporters firmly believed in their candidate. That is admirable. As a Obama supporter, I respect that. I am not going to tell them what to do. Since Obama has similar views to Hillary Clinton, I would hope that they would give their support to the Democratic nominee. In the end, whether they support Obama, McCain or not vote is their choice. I do know that Obama will listen to her views on issues much more than McCain will. Time will tell when the convention comes around which direction the Clinton supporters will travel.

Lee Chang   June 9th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

I find it baffling that many Hillary supporters claim that the DNC favored Obama.

Hillary Clinton is the consumate party machine "inside" candidate. If anyone was advantaged by DNC connections – it was Hillary.

Clearly the Clinton campaign was happy to cozy up to the DNC – as long as things were going well. I guess its no surprise that the first target for blame that a "machine" candidate chooses when they lose is…well…the machine itself.

MDB Baltimore   June 9th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Every candidate went through appalling prejudice!!!!!!!!!!!! If you believe the sexism that Clinton went through was anything compared to racism that Sen. Obama experienced, then you're completely insane. The number of death threats on Sen. Obama was beyond that received by any other candidate in history – didn't hear that reported on… did-ya? NOR did you hear his campaign complain. He knew what he was getting into and still went through with it. By your own words Clinton – IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!!!.

Patel   June 9th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

Go McCain/Hillary

Indyvoter4Hillary   June 9th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

I supported Hillary as an indy voter NOT a democrat. I have no desire to vote for Obama. If I wanted to vote for him I would have voted for him in the primary. Just becuase I don't support Obama doesn't mean anything other than the fact I don't like the guy or his wife.
Not supporting Obama does not make you stupid or a racist. Some people just don't want him as the 44th President.
Trashing people to get your point across is not going to help Obama or his race for the White House! If this what Obama stands for I am glad he NEVER had my support.

Debbie,NJ   June 9th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

You've waited 8 years, what another 4? ANother disappointment because if you are a Dem and vote for McCain believe me we will do the same in 2012 if it comes to that. Here you go again shooting yourself in the foot, or the mouth.

Independent Voter   June 9th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

So what about the Clinton backers who have made racial remarks towards Obama during th past few months??? Yes, sexism and racism is an ugly matter. But I think both camps have equally received a media beat down on all levels.

ADEAS   June 9th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

go ahead. Vote for McCain and you will still safer 4 more years of hardship. Vote for McCain and you will save few cents on gasoline price.
Vote for McCain and the international community won't see a difference between Bush and him. Vote for McCain and you won't see any progress or reform in the educational system.I see that you prefer to give up your democratic values over anger toward Obama. I hope you are smart enough.IT NOT ABOUT OBAMA BUT DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE VALUES THAT IT PROMOTES

Bob   June 9th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

It's all part of the VSMC (vast sexist media conspiracy).

With Clinton, there's a reoccurring theme of blaming others.

Comments....Comments.....Comments....   June 9th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

It amazes me how even now supporters of Senator Clinton are still not able to state an opinion without attacks from Obama supporters. Party unity? You can forget about that! As for the opinion of "Barry"….no matter what this great lady does or say in the GE it will never be enough. As for Obama loosing the election and blaming Senator Clinton for it….get a life. Last time I looked he was the candidate with his own organization. If he looses they can take the responsibility for it. After all, his organization is calling the shots for him, not her. He is in his 40's and a grown man. Are you saying that he is not in control of his own campaign? I might remind the Obama supporters that you said that you didn't need us, he said he did not need us by not reaching out in WV and KY. and his gun toting comments. Grow up and take responsibility for your own actions.

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   June 9th, 2008 4:21 pm ET

Wolf,

I don't understand why they are so angry. It's not like Obama cheated nor did he do anything illegal to win. Obama didn't go negative or dung up all of Hillary's skeletons. He didn't play the race card, gender card or any other card. He beat her fair and square. He killed Hillary with kindness; the oldest trick in the book.

If they are mad at someone, they should be mad at Hillary's campaign. She ran a terrible campaign, by underestimating Obama, smaller states, caucuses, going negative, playing the race card and gender card, trying to change the DNC rules and the list goes on and on. People started hating her because she developed this “do anything to win behavior” and that turned a lot of people off. People love for the Clintons turned into hatred. She blew it.

If any hillary supporters vote john mccain then you dont care about hillary or her views. how can you vote opposite of what hillary believe in cause your bitter at Obama winning…,hillary lost because she did not run the better campaign. by the time she realized it, it was too late…any president should know you just dont take people for granted that everyone is on the same page as you. she thought she had this nominee wrapped up back in January, but Iowa had a different view and so america followed….you deserve your vote to be stripped if you vote mccain because you are mad…that's just stupid.

I do not understand why someone, particularly a woman, would vote for a candidate who opposed equal pay for equal work, has stated that he will appoint judges who will overturn Roe vs Wade, and would turn the health care system into a mirror image of the mortgage industry.

That type of vote would be self-destructive.

Gary Chandler in Canada   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

They hang on to that false 'popular vote' raft. If Hillary, herself, would explain to portray a false reflection of the popular vote the Clinton Camp counted all of her illegal votes in MI, gave Obama 0, and dismissed 4 Stated Obama won, then maybe the 'shroud would fall off some of them!?
While it was close, Obama, had a more votes, and that is counting Puerto Rico!

Paula   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

If Hillary meant what she said she should be out there putting an end to this mess she created.If she wants the VP spot,let her earn it like anyone else.She needs to show she's a team player instead of pretending this is owed to her.If she can't deliver these suporters to get the country straightened out then she doesn't deserve the position.Anybody who would vote for a republican this time doesn't have sense enough to vote anyway.

Olivia, WEHO   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Yes…I agree with Diane Feinstein. Yet if someone said anything ugly about Obama the media would not pounce on that person. What has happened to fair reporting.

Just today I heard Gina Gershown saying Vanity Fair article about her was an absolutely lie. However when all this happened the media pounced on Bill for being so angry (he had every right to be angry)….But yet YOU, the media, would only focus on his anger and did not really question more if the Vanity Fair article was true or fair… who were the sources etc. You just ran, over and over and over Bill calling this journalist a………etc.

As Gina said it is getting pretty scary especially with are nation at war, economy is a mess, that we cannot believe nor should we listen to the spin of the media. We are no better than a nation like China etc that controls their media.

You are failing the American people as well as people in all nations. Shame on you. I hear more and more people are tuning out, no more CNN. I will just listen to the speeches and debates. Not your spin afterwards.

Would the Obama surrogates have been calling for her to drop out if she was a man?

Republicans were much nicier to Huckabee and he had no chance of winning…

My vote will go for McCain in the fall.

WAKE UP   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Democrats please UNITE. If you sincerely support Hillary you would vote for Obama, after all she is telling you to. And we wonder why the Republicans keep winning, Democrats wine and cry when they don't get their way. Toughen up and fight for your country, fight for your party. Don't be a sellout!

Agnostic Democrat   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Yes, Wolf, and we all know how disappointed you are now because the Clintons won't be supplying you and the rest of the media with their headline grabbing propaganda and political theatre. What a shame that you "journalists", "reporters" and "pundits" will have to actually work at finding the real news and any truth to report on to keep the news cycle going in circles.

Tony in Douglasville   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

I'm tired of those Hillary supporters who lost the game and now want to take their ball home, I reach out to the willing but have nothing but disdain for the ignorant. Go vote for McSame, align yourselves with those who claim to be "Pro Life" but plan to take away your ability to choose. Keep sending our children to the incenerator that is Iraq, and be proud when those of us (THE REAL MAJORITY) that put Obama as the nominee hold her accountable in 2012.

You lost once, find solace in that feeling when McSame loses in November too. Change is coming, can you feel it?

Obama/Richardson 08

No McCain!   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

For what? For Obama "stealing" the nomination? For sexism?

Obama did not steal the nomination. He won the majority of delegates. That sounds fair to me! I believe there are more racists than sexists out there. But I really wouldn't know… However, don't blame Obama for the actions of the media, that's narrow minded and wrong!

A vote for McCain is a vote to jeopardize your children's futures, not only with Iraq and Iran (bomb bomb bomb Iran comes up here) , but also the economy (which, he did say he had no knowledge.)

Try to think about THAT when you even consider voting for McCain, "democrats."

Obama '08!

Even if the media was rough on Obama is that his fault? Maybe if she hadn't failed so miserable in Iowa when she was expected to have it wrapped up by New Hampshire the media would have been nicer to her.

Proud1of 26% in WV   June 9th, 2008 4:19 pm ET

When Clinton decided to go negative with the campaign,even though she had to to stay in the race before Ohio and Texas the nastiness broke out from both sides.As an Obama supporter I'm still angry about the way West Virginians were portrayed as uneducated hillbillies by some Clinton supporters.If she had have done the right thing and got out when the math became impossible instead of trying to take it away then most of the feelings could have been avioded.So dont blame it all on Obama supporters.

No doubt it will hurt the Dem's chance of getting in the white house and no doubt that the abuse was pretty blatant. The media tries to elect presidents. They are the ones that are taking your votes away.

This country is toying with the idea of hiring a non-experienced state senator to the white house. Now think about it , how dumb is that ?

But in watching CNN and MsNBC you would think it was the best thing that could ever happen to the country. The media is a joke, and they will make this election close but in the end people will side with the better choice thats left and it will be McCain where it would have been Hillary Clinton. Then the media can blame themselves for ruining the Dem's shot at the white house. Geez, did you see that Russert guy ? He just absolutely hates Hillary and it is openly obvious.

DD, New York   June 9th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

RE: Obama's $50 billion in incentives: IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!!!!!! Yeah, I am an angry Hillary supporter, and I am not sure how this will play out for me personally in November. The reason why Obama's plans are so similary to Hillary's is because he stole them from her, and tweaked the ideas a bit to sound like they are from him. Remember at the debates, he would not give an answer until AFTER Hillary responded, so he could say something similar. He can't do that with debating McCain and will have to think on his own feet for once. Yep, I am angry.

You know what – Hillary asked for some of what she got. She started with al the negativity in this campaign, at some point she had to receive some of the punches her and her husband were throwing. I started off a Hillary suporter and switched to Obama while they were campaigning because the Clinton side was just being childish at times. In the quest for unity we have to move on. We have to look at the bigger picture here…

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? YOU'RE UPSET THAT HE WENT GOLFING DURING HER CONCESSION SPEECH???? OBAMA MADE A GRACIOUS SPEECH PRAISING HILLARY BEFORE SHE EVEN MADE HER CONCESSION SPEECH! HE PRAISED HER ON ALL LEVELS! HE BASICALLY KISSED HER BUTT ON NATIONAL TV BEFORE SHE MADE HER CONCESSION SPEECH BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU???? JUST ADMIT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM VOTING FOR A BLACK MAN CUZ ANY OTHER RATIONALE FOR NOT VOTING FOR HIM WOULD SUGGEST YOU'RE JUST AN IDIOT.

Mfelder   June 9th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

True Democrats do not flip-flop between party loyalty. Most of the time, we go into that polling booth and pull the lever for the lesser of the 2 evils, but a democrat we support. For most of us, there are fundamental differences not between the candidate so to say, but between the ideologies of the democratic and republican parties. So if anyone, who claims to be a democrat is defecting to the republican party, I say they weren't true democrats to start.

I am so sick an tired of you Hillary Clinton supporters or Closeted Republicans and your threats, I could just spit!!!

If you vote John McCain into office in 2008, what in HELL makes you think we are going to rally behind Hillary Clinton in 2012. Hatred is a two way street. I was actually liking the idea of Hillary as VP, until all of your threats and pushing has turned me off.

We OBAMA supporters really dont care if you DO or DO NOT Support Obama. We are tired of kissing your behinds to make you happy. If Barack looses because of you this fall. Hillary is doomed in 2012 and me and millions of others will make sure of that. You better beileve it!

WOMEN 4HILLARY   June 9th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Scripps Survey Research Center poll shows that 25 percent of those who voted for Clinton in the primary said they would not vote for Obama.”

Hillary will not deliver votes for Obama unless Obama can promse what's in it for her.

MI Women 4 Obama!   June 9th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Well Wolf, there's plenty of Obama supporters still angry too. If Obama looses..in my opinion it will be all the Clinton's fault. The Clinton's spent months yelling…I am better, I am better….I got more popular vote…playing the race card, the sexist card, the Bosnia lie and other lies…blah, blah, blah.

She did her speach on Saturday and where is she now, quite as a mouse. Hillary and Bill need to be out there as strong for Obama as they were for their own self interst.

…and the Clinton supporters crying to vote McSame and "watch this country go down the tubes"…? If that's how you feel then WHY NOT vote for Barack…maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise!

I've been a Republican all my life until this year. I have every confidence that Barack is capable of leading this country…Clinton supports seem to forget that one of our most memorable Presidends, Robert F. Kennedy, was a young fellow too.

Clinton supporters…if you vote for McSame just out of spite then the whole country suffers including yourself. It is clear that Clinton supports don't like McSame…but will vote out of spite.

One thing is clear though…WE NEED A DEMOCRAT IT THE WHITE HOUSE AND I DON'T CARE IF IT'S MY 10 YEAR OLD GRAND-SON….NO MORE REPUBLICAN'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

peter   June 9th, 2008 4:17 pm ET

Are some of Hillary Clinton's supporters so blind (or racist) that they want to see McCain steal ANOTHER three trillion dollars and drive our deficit even further up?!

For Heaven's sake; don't be that stupid; don't be that racist that you would sacrifice American health so the Bush-McCain corporate rulers will flood us with deadly Chinese medicine; poisonous Chinese toys; and ruinous war!

And although the anger at the disrespect Hillary received from the media, Obama, and his supporters will lessen over time, I still will not vote for Obama. He is too inexperienced to lead this country. The liberal media forced him down our throats in the primary, but, they will not be able to do that in the general election because where Obama gained his delegate lead through caususes and from the Superdelegates, he will not have that advantage now.

I will write her name on my ballot in November.

Why are Hillary's supporters so bent on not voting for Barack Obama? I cannot understand why any democrate wouldn't. And it seems to be not just the women, but the men as well. Even if Barack hasn't been in the Senate as long as Hillary or McCain, he is the best candidate that we have right now to fix this situation. Remember … there are only two(2) candidates left to choose from. McCain doesn't know anything about the economy … he said it himself. Hillary and Barack have almost identical solutions for so many of our problems. Who do you think will most likely ask Hillary for her input, Barack Obama or John McCain? I think you all know the answer to that.

A close friend of mine who has worked on multiple high profile republican campaigns told me that most of these anonymous anti-Obama, pro-McCain comments from alleged Hillary supporters are in fact being written by republican campaign workers to foster division in the Democratic ranks! I know some of these comments are from true Hillary supporters, and I understand the frustration real Clinton supporters are feeling, but do not fall victim to another manuever by the right's attack machine! They just want to use us. I for one will support the views of the candidate I supported and make sure her dream for America lives on. McCain is not the answer. Obama-Clinton 08.

Right Wolf!

I am totally disillusioned with the Democratic party this year. But, I always vote for the person who would be the best president in the general election.

This time the best candidate was Hillary Clinton but the current extreme left-wing Democratic party and media demolished her! So, now, McCain, the American hero and centrist candidate, more in touch with mainstream America is the best candidate!

This disillusioned Democrat, leaning Independent, will vote for McCain! :)

Lynn   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

We are very angry and unless she is on the ticket I will vote for McCain. this is not a threat just a fact. I don't really want her on his ticket, but I will support her. She was just the better candidate. She could out debate him, she knows the issues and just as important has solutions, She is brillant and I would have felt better going in the next years with her as President. Our standing in the world would have been so much better. I know you have heard all of this before – but what could have been. The DNC, media the mean spirited blogs and some Democrat elected officials is the reason I will not vote for Obama. I can't believe that President Clinton is racist, or Geraldine Ferrarro or Hillary meant anything other than Bobby Kennedy ran his campaign until June. The spin just kept on spinning cause by the Obama campaign. Is this raciest. Sounds like the Obama campaign has a problem. And then Michelle do we really want her as first lady.

Watching around the world   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I wish we could just focus on McCain and Obama instead of worrying about the clintons. The clintons have million in their bank account and many of us a suffering.

If Sen. Hillary Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama which they have made it very clear. I attitude is let them go ahead and vote for McCain if that will make them feel better. We are all suffering in this bad economy, and if they think want four or eight more years of the same let it be.

Me   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I don't understand-why are Clinton supporters angry? Please, someone tell me. Okay she didn't get the nomination, get over it and please start supporting the democratic nominee! Let's go forward please. Let's beat McCain. You think that by voting for him, you are punishing Democrats? You are punishing yourselves, and your country.

Ebony   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

How helpful is that? Watch the country go down the tubes? out of spite? and these are the people questioning how Patriotic Obama is. You need to follow Hillary lead and put the good of others and your country ahead of your personal feelings. Thats what wrong with the country now. Every one is so selfish and only concern with themselves. There is little difference in Obama and Hillary beliefs. There are huge differences when you match up Hillary or Obama to McCain.

NO MORE NEOCONS   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

I'm a former Hillary supporter and there is NO WAY i'd ever vote for MCSAME. Anyone who does is throwing everything Hillary fought so hard for under the bus, from health care for all, to bringing the troops home from Iraq. You guys were never Hillary supporters to begin with. In fact, you're probably just Republican trolls and Limbaugh dittoheads trying to stir up trouble. No Hillary supporter in her or his right mind would ever vote McCain.

Edana Popp   June 9th, 2008 4:14 pm ET

As a true party believer, and an advocate of party politics and loyalty, I have to say that this race is trying my convictions! I think that this is a time for Democrats angry at the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the DNC leadership to protest with their votes and their money.

If the DNC wants to WIN the White House in November, and not just increase their voter roles (and their warchest), they need to here from the people who demand the candidate who can win.

Change your registration to Independent, withhold your contributions, write to Dean and the DNC, support those SDs and congressional candidates who stood by Hillary, and punish those who didn't.

Money talks louder than than anything, and power doesn't happen without money.

MCCAIN WILL APPOINT CONSERVATIVE JUDGES…SAY GOODBYE TO ROE v WADE….SAY GOODBYE TO EVERYTHING HILLARY STOOD FOR BECAUSE MCCAIN IS 180* IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. YOU WILL UNDO EVERYTHING HILLARY WORKED FOR….

Hey Nana5 what are you a retard or a McCain supporter?… oh nevermind same thing.

Hey Wolf how about a report about how GOP idiots go on buletin boards like this and do what they do best. Deceive, lie, pretend to be Demorcrats… they got no choice the GOP candidate wears depends and can't remember what he said 2 days ago.

Yeah if you want $7.00 gas vote for McCain.

Carol   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

For god's sake this was a Presidential primary race – what did you expect? Yeah, it got mean and nasty. No worse than other races before or after. Wait until you see how vicious the general election is going to get.
These two candidates, their surrogates, and supporters were in it to win it. One will win – one will lose. Now the excuses, the blame game. Get over it and move on – how childish.

Shelly in IL   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Lurch   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

People Who wanted to vote for Hillary has to understand that they agreed on 95% of what they wanted for the country. If people really wanted a new direction they would get behind Obama and support him but if they really like the division this country has taken then keep with the side of Mccain and when they start crying about getting robbed at the gas pumps and the lack of jobs and crime increase then they will get a reality check of why they should have voted for OBama.

I have confidence that the majority of HRC supporters are not stupid, and will NOT sacrifice our leadership out of spite. To the small percentage that don't give a rip, I say let 'em go. They can't be true Dems anyway.

Obama will win the hearts of a good majority, so don't sweat it. I don't think the childish tactics should get any more play anyway. They few "poor losers" already have their minds made up anyway. To them I say, Adios!!!!

lyn-nj   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Debbie,NJ   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Listen up Hillary supporters. If you love Hillary so much then why didn't you support her financially?. Stop whining and help her where she needs you most. You can't help her with the primary, its over. You can't make Obama choose her as VP but you can help get her out of debt. If not what good are you. If Obama doesn't win because Dems stay home, vote for McCain or write in Hillary, you better bet she won't win in 2012. We will make sure of it. What goes around comes around, haven't you people learned that yet. Its the nasty tactics that made her lose the primary. Hopefully Hillary has learned and better tell her people if they want her to have a shot of winning in 2012 they better vote for Obama because for the simple fact that he is the Nominee and he's a Dem.

FactCheck   June 9th, 2008 4:13 pm ET

Let's see… most Obama supporters are financially well off, don't need to worry about healthcare coverage and can withstand another 4 years of high gas prices and home foreclosures. Let the Clinton supporters vote for McCain. Let's just wait and see how many survive the next 4 years. Stupidity will be weeded out.. it's Darwinism as its very best.

How can anyone be so vindictive as an adult ?
I lost that sort of behaviour long ago, such as the tendency to chase pigeons.

I mean c'mon people, look at the broader picture. Both Hillary and Obama are doing this for the greater good: getting back the White House, and the power back to the people.

Hillary will be able to accomplish far more with a Democratic president at the top, especiially on health care.
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama would agrre to Hillary's view on the this subject by the way, as a token of respect to all who supported her.

But if Americans are going to be childish, well we'll never know, cuz we'll be gone again for 2 terms of Republicans !

Oh yes, don't any of you think you'll be doing Hillary a favor by voting Republican, so she can run again in 4 years from now. She might get the nomination, perhaps, but in the post war era only one incumbent republican president, Bush Senior, failed to get re-elected, and that was because there was a 3rd party, a spoiler, in the bath tub with him.
Don't count on that one !

I agree with the comment of S. The fact that Clinton's supporters may or may not vote for Obama in November is a non- story at this point in time.

Hillary Clinton has endorse Obama and the Democratic Party has embraced his nomination. He will be the next POUS.

I watched Obama's economic rally today in NC. Please blog on and/or report his great vision to improve our economy.

The madder we got at the other side, the more time we spent watching their shows and on their websites listening to their lame analysis and wrong predictions. They were fanning the flames and laughing all the way to the bank! Let's move on dems, and stop letting the folks at CNN and MSNBC rile us up. We are united! On to November!

I hope we can mend the hard feelings, and make sure that Hillary's people feel like they have a voice in this campaign. That's what a lot of us are working for right now.

They should be nervous: Superdelegates chose the negative candidate who has nothing left of the three pillars he started the campaign with: 1) Change; Obama is in the pocket of old white Dems and lobbyists, 2) Bridging the divide: He breaks the mole on devisive, and can't even bridge the divide with Clinton. What are he dragging his feet for? and 3) Hope: Obama, the churchless candidate has enought money to beat McCharacter. Gamble against popular vote for this guy is not good. At best the leadership of Kennedy, Byrde, Biden, Dole and Pelosi are hospitilized.

John Smith   June 9th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

If I were Obama, I will tell these "uneducated" and "bitter" Hillary supporters where to go and hide until this election is over. If they think they are doing Obama a favor, that says a lot about the "mind-set" of these folks!

This is NOT about Obama or even the DEM party; it is about the direction that this NATION needs to take! I do not care, as long the individual has the "guts" to bring about "change" in Washington, I will give my vote to that person– Green, Yellow, Black, young or old! This is simple common sense.

Hillary had all the resources, and she blew them all! She ran a horrible campaign, and there is no doubt that she would have ran the U.S. in a horrible manner if she had been the nominee!

No one has made a case yet that Hillary would have done better than she did here! She planned for this process for years, and has only herself to blame. I did support her, but could not hang on to this level of "failure." There is nothing here to be proud about; she disappointed me!

Support our troops!   June 9th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

I am in independent, at the start of the primaries I told myself I'm voting democrat no matter who the candidate is and the main reason I'm voting democrat is in hopes that I might not go to Iraq next year. Yes I'm a young military man, I'm stationed with the marines as their medic. I talk to my marines all the time and many of us do not want to go or go back again. Please don't vote for mccain think of the troops!!! Thanks!!!

WE DO NOT LIKE HIM TODAY, WE WILL NOT LIKE HIM TOMORROW, WE WILL NOT LIKE HIM WITH GREEN EGGS AND HAM!!!!!!!!!!!
CNN Has done nothing but push him and succeeded in taking this from Hillary. She was forced to do what she did and we know it – we are not ignorant, un-educated folk as most Barrack Hussein Obama supporters think. We are (were) proud Americans who are now very scared of what we have to look forward to if by some small chance you and CNN are able to push him on in. Won't be done with my vote and i sincerely pray that other TRUE HRC supporters feel the say way. Chicago, you can have him back – let him run your city if you think he's so great. Eight years of McCain will be 10,000% better than even 6 months of Obamanation. ANd guess what – we don't like you either. Mr. Blitzer. Go play golf with Obama while we campaign for McCain. OUr 18,000,000 votes WILL COUNT FOR HIM!

Mark VA   June 9th, 2008 4:10 pm ET

There was a reason why I strongly supported Clinton. I believe that experience counts a great deal. I also do not believe we know enough about Obama, even after this long primary season. It takes years of action to gain trust. When I say years of action I mean in governing or on a federal level. The fact is that at least 30% of Clinton supporter will not vote for Obama. They will either vote for McCain or not vote at all. I will vote for McCain. Being that McCain is not too far from center he is a good alternative. Especially since Obama is more left than Clinton.

Billary was crucified, sacrificed in favor of the false prohet and messiah. The misogyny and favoritism shown to Obama was blantant. I noticed it and I can't stand either one of them. This bias will evantually backfire as more of the messiah's failings come to light. The Liberal media has chosen someone with less experience than GW. Brilliant. Party elders and speciali interests would have a field day and the tryants of the world would salivate at the chance to engage him in any negotiations.

The American people are not as stupid as the media thinks….well, except the Left Wing Liberals. Obama and his racist wife will be beat. Handily…………..

seriously... none of you get it   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

The day of the two party system is over… Obama needs to start his socialist party, Clinton should have run with the democrats, McCain can start the neocon party, and Ron Paul should have been the Republican Candidate…

it would simply things greatly and force our government to actually work for the people for once…

Bill Jay   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I'm a democrat and I'm voting for Mr. McCain………

Mike   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

It is not anger that is the problem. You see I know people lost in the 9/11 attacks and family influenced in the loss of the Oklahoma City bombing.

How can I vote for Obama whose good friend is Bill Ayers a Timothy McVeigh person that said he should have bombed more federal buildings right after 9/11 happened. Obama co-chaired a political committee with him when he made those statements. Ayers even held a send off party for Obama in his presidential bid.

I would be simply betraying all the victims of 9/11 and Oklahoma City by voting for Obama.

I would be honoring their memory by voting for Hillary who represented New York during 9/11 and her husband who represented America in Oklahoma City.

So it is not a matter of anger for me just doing what is right for those that lost their lives not long ago.

McCain 08 or Hillary 012

Ray, he watched her concession speech   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

On a laptop – why do you have a problem with that? Why would it be so much more acceptable for him to watch her speech from a TV in an office instead of on a laptop in a golf clubhouse?

He worked his butt off for 16 months to win a nomination, why not let him watch her concession speech in the clubhouse and then get a few holes in?

Jeff   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

It's all the media's fault that Hillary made up a tall sniper fire tale and then lied about it. And then lied about lying about it.

They have houned the Clintons for many years. If only the had such ferver to have questioned and written about our current pres. and vice pres, maybe that illegal war never would have happened. But the media coward in their little holes and became a joke in the minds of the public. But i guess it's easier to beat up on a woman then to take on a war criminal. Obama Hussain will lose the presidency because of the media, and not because of CLinton, as many media people want you to believe. You media folks make me sick.

Iowa Democrat   June 9th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

The conspiracy that I see going on here is CNN trying to keep things heated up so that there is still a good inner-party fight to manufacture news over. The news media thrives on controversy. TIme and again, I see you your network (and Fox and MSNBC) bending over backwards to try to keep controversy stirred up rather than merely reporting it. You're all "Wagging the Dog" a bit in my opinion, and I don't think it's responsible journalism.

4HILLARY   June 9th, 2008 4:07 pm ET

Democratic voters selected Hillary Clinton as their nominee for ‘08. But the corrupt DNC / SEXIST MEDIA appointed their own nominee.

The Democratic voters do not find the DNC choice acceptable, and are appalled that our votes were not considered.

4HILLARY   June 9th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

You want to dream again. But dreams begin not because of our vaporous hopes, or desire to follow others. Dreams are solely the hope of your own soul, acting in concert with reason as well as patience and hard work. No one can take you to the mountaintop, and especially those like Mr. Obama, who has not been there himself.

OBAMA needs you, more than you need him … to get to that bigger house he desires.

HRC supports, please explain it to me   June 9th, 2008 4:06 pm ET

First, how do you feel like the election was "stolen" for Obama? The nominee was intended to be decided based on delegates, not popular vote, so even if Clinton did win the popular vote (a dubious claim since it would involve not counting the caucus states and not giving Obama any votes from Michigan), all that matters is the delegate count – if you find that unfair, that needs to be discussed with the DNC (much like it would be strange to blame George Bush for the fact that he was awarded the presidency over Al Gore despite losing the popular vote). So if Obama won the majority of pledged delegates (not including supers), how on earth was the election "stolen" from Hillary?

Second, if you supported HRC because of her policies and not just because you like the thought of electing a female president, why would you support McCain, whose policies are entirely different from hers, instead of Obama, whose policies are probably 95% similar to hers?

Please explain

Chris from NY   June 9th, 2008 4:04 pm ET

The media has spent so much time focusing on these disgruntled Democrats than cover the issues that Americans care about. Just as I have said numerous times, these disgruntled Hillary supporters are not Democrats. They are Republicans who switched parties to support Hillary and now going back to their base follwing Hillary presidential bid demise. To waste much time covering these people gives them more power to inusult our intelligence. If they are so much into voting for McCain, they should not verbalize it, they should do it. By saying they would not vote for Obama, they are trying to convince themselves more they are trying to convince others.

I would have to agree. I'm a grumbling Clinton supporter. I am a Democrat too, but I'm having a really hard time coming over to Obama. Especially after it was reported that he went golfing during her concession speech – how arrogant! Every little sign that he gives demoting or any reason he might inadvertantly give to us humble Clinton supporters is just another stake in an already broken heart.

Clinton Supporter   June 9th, 2008 4:03 pm ET

That Obama- saying all those nice things about Hillary only days after it was safe to be an adult. What a guy. Now if the Hillary cattle, oh, I mean voters, would just follow along, everything would be fine. Voters have a surprisingly long attention span-6 months is nothing. The DNC can take all the credit for SELECTING Obama when the rest of us thought we were ELECTING Clinton. Not working the way they want? Just toss out two entire states' votes. They'll get over it.

He must be feeling nervous too because Obama promised us all no less than $50 BILLION in new incentives just today in North Carolina- courtesy of the Chinese treasury. What a forward looking guy that Obama is. Obviously an economic genius whose spending ideas leave McCain's gas tax holiday in the dust. I'm almost sorry I won't be voting for him.

If in anyway it seems as if Obama lost the GE because of lack of support from Clinton and/or her supporters, then Clinton's political career is over. Then who will you root for if that happened.

This cut-your-nose-off-to-spite-your-face stupidity can run on both sides, too.
