For the Hillary supporters who say McCain '08, Hillary '12, Why not Obama '08, Hillary '12????????/

I keep coming back to the same thought about the upcoming election: Why would anybody in their right mind vote for someone who is going to run this country just like George W(orthless) Bush has for the last 8 years? That is exactly what you are doing if you mindlessly vote for McCain! Come on people, THINK!

Lack of experience number one reason i will not vote for BO. And i am not sure anyone really knows the solutions to fixing this country, basically it everyone thinks his the chosen one. But my vote will go to McCain at least he has SOME experience.

Senator Hillary Clinton is and continues to be the BEST Presidential Candidate ! Why does the American Public continue to be so Naive?
And because of their Naive Actions and Decisions look at where Geo. W. Bush has brought this Country
Incidentally, Who is paying for Laura Bush's trip to Afgannistan ? Who made her Sect. of State ? What has happen to the Black Rose?

This is a wonderful cleasing time for America. Through Obama, many are being healed of prejudices and other petty emotions like no time before. He has been sent to us from above.

Still Mccain for President !!!

I am a lifelong Democrat and Hillary supporter. There is no way on earth that I will vote for Obama in November even if Clinton is on the ticket. He is not qualified to be president and his arrogance and inexperience would just be a left wing version of George Bush. I know he has tons of money and the media behind him, but I think there are enough clear thinking people like me who will defeat him in the fall.

Hillary DOESN'T know how to get the job done. She couldn't even win the Democratic nomination against and unknown. There was no conspiracy. There were no dirty tricks. She lost. Deal with it.

THe BU,
I can tell you why they are voting for McCain.... sexism or racism. You pick because, when you look @ Hillary's policy and Obama's policy's they are more closely related than those policies of McCain.

I don't see why HRC people feel that they are proving a point by voting for McCain. The only point that is being proving is that stupidity run deep in our country.

I agree. This is why it is ridiculous to say Hillary is a moderate while Obama is somehow Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist. If anything, Hillary is farther to the left than Obama, especially with regards to their universal health care plans.

I'm so looking forward to CNN continuing to fan the flames of Obama/Hillary slugfest. They got such good ratings they have to figure a way to keep it going as long as possible.

It's over CNN. Focus on Obama/McCain. Last time I checked, these are the two presidential candidates.

How could there be a difference; he waited until she publicized her plans then he copied them. He then used insidious hate-mongering tactics against her. She has the ideas, plans, and solutions. He copies and makes speeches. How could anyone know what he will do if elected? We know what Clinton stood for and what she would have done. This man is an empty suit with a loud mouth. I will vote for McCain; I know who he is.

The affect of the clinton vote that claims they won't support Obama is overstated if you ask me. He doesn't need her on the ticket. Sixty percent of them are already willing to vote for him. Twenty percent say the will stay home...I'll be genorous and give you fifteen by November...fine that will be circumvented by the new crop of voters. Another twenty say they will vote for McCain, but for all the bitterness and anger they have now, I'm willing to bet no more that ten percent of that twenty end up actually votin for McCain when the issues are actually laid out. McCain has a bigger problem with the Republican base than Barack has with Clinton supporters.

I do have one question for all of the Hillary supporters who like to speak on how much Hillary can get done.
IN THE BEGINNING she had the following...
1) a 20 to 30% percent lead in the polls
2) about 20 to 30 million dollars for the campaign
3) probably 30% of the female vote locked up
4) 30 years experience and one of the MOST popular Ex-Presidents as her husband

AND she still could not get 55% of her OWN party to vote for her!!

PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU CAN BE SO SURE SHE CAN ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH!!

PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS???

CB...
You must be one of those "intelligent" supporters of Obama. NOT!, you idiot. The U.S. population is just over 300 million in all. Not 300 voters. Typically the voter turnout is 50-55 million in the GE. It may rise to new heights this year but 18 million voters for Hillary WILL make a huge impact on the outcome.

and this Hillary supporter had already planned on either Hillary or McCain, never Obama from the start.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

I was for Hillary before all of the lies and the racist talk by her husband and her campaign and she did it herself too. I really don't like what they was doing to one that was supposed to be on the same side as they were. If this woman is on the ticket I will make all the calls that I can and ask them not to vote in November. Hillary Clinton tried to destroy Senator Obama and the Democratic Party and I lost respect for her acting like a man belting down shots and just acting manly it was not a good fit for her. Not once did she wear a skirt or dress it was very unbecoming.

"Abby June 10th, 2008 9:59 am ET

LOL! We’re not used to big words from the president… Go easy "
-------------
He's a professor, educated from Harvard and Columbia. I think he can handle the big words.

Hmmm GO DEMSSSSSS and for HRC supporters that is voting for McCain out of haste, you get what you vote for: 100 years of war, drained economy, and a potential future president who is having alot of slip of the tongue lately.

Signs of alzheimers. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. what kind of message are you sending. surely not one of being responsible.

BOTH ARE MARXIST!

Obama and Clinton differ on very few issues, but they differ greatly on style and character.

He won the nomination because of style and character, which boils down to positivity vs. negativity. Usually it's the negativity that works, but this time it was different. You have to at least give Obama credit for that. His own supporters begged him to go negative, and he refused. And he won.

First he was campaigning on "change" from old style, and now he says that there are no differences between them. Bologna. Big time bologna. Somebody has to tell to Obama that American people are not stupid, and they are not going to buy any more empty words from this Chicago style politician.

The more obama supporters ridicule HIllary Clinton the more likely it is that I will be voting for John McCain.

I was watching Larry King with the VP choices and Gergen said if he is up 10 points by Aug. he won't pick Clinton anyway. This was a strange analysis I thought because McCain can easily go up 10 points within the next 2 months after. I wouldn't want to play Russian Roullette if I knew I had a sure thing with Hillary and all her voters coming aboard. Webb and Byah won't bring them in and Richardson isn't even mentioned. He is still criticizing the Clintons when interviewed and made himself political poison. The others mentioned are all weak prospects for Obama. I don't believe the VP spot isn't important to win either when Lieberman was the VP nominee he got all the Jewish vote for Gore. To bad they punched the wrong name. LOL

"Infinitesimal" surprises a lot of people because they are shocked to hear long words coming from a leader after 7 years of Bush. Since Bush has no idea how to pronounce simple words like "drought" and "nuclear", it's very refreshing to hear someone intelligent for a change.

To Still for Hill, it is apparent that you have not gone to college or have anyone that has.No it is not funny that after 4 years of college you can not get a job to pay you loans off. Wake up that is what has been happening for the past 5 or 6 years.We have college grads working at fast food places. And you want to vote for McCain he does not even want to raise the minimum wages.Low graduation rates from high school has been a age long problem. If you will close your mouth and open your ears Obama wants parents to be able to have insurance coverage on children until 25. Obama 08 Connie

BTW – By saying the differences between him and Clinton are "immeasurably small" does not infer that he will be picking her as his VP. If anything, it begins to hint that she will NOT be his choice. Why add someone who is so close to you on everything?

We miss Hillary
Hillary please come back
We don’t care party unity
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

Kyle – I think that we should ALWAYS be open to voting for any candidate regardless of party affiliation. I myself am a long-time registered Independent who found a candidate he liked early on. Unfortunately, that candidate was Edwards and he was out in Jan. Of the 3 remaining, I prefered Obama slightly over Clinton and way more than McCain. That being said, I am glad that the Rep. candidate this year is a man of honor and character, even if I dont agree with his course.

Why Hillary supporters will vote for McCain:

Because Obama supporters BASHED and INSULTED Hillary supporters as well as Hillary thoughout this whole campaign!!!! So, payback will be fun, when Obama supporters see their "yes we can" man shrivell to nothing, come November!!!!

That's because Obama stole every single idea he now touts as his own from Hilary Clinton. Remember the debates: "I agree with Senator Clinton - I agree with Senator Clinton . . . " Name just ONE original idea he brought up during 20 debates - just ONE! Well, yes, there was one - unlike Hillary Clinton, Obama would NOT make health care universal.

And THAT is NOT "infinitesimal, tiny, minute, trivial, or inconsequential."

This is the reason all of the disappointed men and women that supported Hillary need to just step back for a while "cool the jets" and realize the REAL reason the race was close is there policies were ALMOST the SAME. It was a matter of Who did you like? Who did you trust? and Who more represented Change?
IT WAS CLOSE.. But Obama got more votes, and delegates so he was the winner..it really is that simple.
Democrats don't lose sight of that fact and GIVE the Republicans the White House just because your feelings are hurt..THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THAT...

Clinton supporters....explain this to me...how can you call Senator Obama an extreme leftist while Hillary is a centrist, and then in your next breath say that Senator Obama stole all his ideas from Senator Clinton? Wouldn't that either make him a centrist or her a leftist?

To everyone out there – the news media and all the people they have analyzing everything all the time – YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR HILLARY SUPPORTERS – YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE WILL DO AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY "OH THEY WILL COME AROUND WHEN THEY GET OVER THEIR ANGER". Just who do you people think you are anyway. You are the judge and jury of eveything I guess. You pick the nominee, you pick the President – you tell everyone how they should vote or say you "know" what they will do. How dare you. You are all in for a big surprise. If all of Hillary supporters feel like I do, you will eat your words. You know nothing!!!

While you are talking about disrespect shown to hillary. please dont forget all the other candidates who were put on the sideline because the media had declared her the "inevitable candidate" before the primaries and caucuses ever took place. even as early as 2006 they were suggesting that barack obama had no chance. they acted like he was just a child that you could pat on the head tell them good job and then send them off to play. Hillary does not have the monopoly on disrespect in this campaign.

I thought it was pretty disrespectful when Hillary said John Mccain would make a better president. And when she offered him the VP slot when he was ahead. So all you "scorned" men and women out there please just get over yourselves.

TESAP – check your Websters. It is not a new word. The meaning is:
1 : taking on values arbitrarily close to but greater than zero
2 : immeasurably or incalculably small

Isn't it refreshing to have someone running for office that not only has a vocabulary, but knows how to pronounce them and use them correctly? I love it!

I am also amazed at how some of the Clinton supporters feel they can speak for all 17 million of the people that voted for Senator Clinton, when in fact, current polling shows that at least 60% of her supporters will vote for Senator Obama.

He better pick Webb that'd be an all star ticket

Yes, Obama and Hillary agree on 90% of issues, but the big difference is we do not trust Obama. We know Sen Clinton will follow through and help the american people as she has throughout the
years. When President Clinton was in power we all had it
pretty good, and then along came Bush and destroyed everything.

McCain will NOT be another Bush, he is not a liar and a true
American. That is why Hillary supporters will vote for McCain
and never vote for Obama.

It is Barack's character (OR LACK OF) that keeps me from voting for him. Yes, I am a democrat who supports Hillary, and Yes, I understand the differences were minimal. However, Hillary has the fortitude and experience to carry them out. Barack will be another George Bush or Jimmy Carter.

Obama and Hillary are both from the Far Left. McCain from the squishy middle.

Bob Barr, Libertarian will shift the political spectrum and expose all the Lefties like Obama and Hillary for the Authoritarians they all are. And he won't spare the squishes who coddle the Leftist Authoritarians either.

Ok, how about this: Obama and Hillary supporters all come together to support this ticket and, in return, we get to lock-up Bill Clinton, Rev Wright, Mark Penn, Rev. Pfleger and Terry McAuliffe in a bunker by Area 51 for 8 years.

deal?

Michelle, thats stupid. And you know that how?? Please be specific...

Please tell me that the new scandal about Barack Obama will be that he uses words that are "too big!!" Oh no!! An alum from the Ivy Leagues, using big words!!

Too bad voting for Libertarian Barr is such a waste... Thank you, media

I am a Hillary supporter, but do not want her to accept VP position simply because she will always be blamed for everything that goes wrong for Obama. Obama has definetly brought a lot of nuts into the Democratic party and the majority of his supporters are not loyal Democrats. I am sure that I wil not be voting in the general election because there is nothing Senator Obama can do that will change my mind. I simply think he is a phony and an appeaser. If elected, he will surely owe a lot of favors to a lot of people. I hope he selects Bill Richardson as VP because I believe this will definetly encourage a lot of Hillary's supporters to let the Democratic party exactly how we feel about how Hillary was treated by media and DNC. I did not have a problem with Richardson endorsing Obama, but then he intentionally went on television and said demeaning things about the Clintons. It is really ironic that Clintons never said one mean thing about Richardson during the entire process.

Brian remember we have a low threshold….Can you imagine Bush saying a word longer than 3 syllables?
It would be disasterous!! LOL!!! Lighten up Republican…we see that you are causing mischief…You are caught!

Please, don't insult Mrs. Clinton.

Lets Go Dems!!!!!!!!!

Right 15 Million people left with no coverage under his gracious plan – indeed, "Infinitesimal"

It's time he listens to both Edwards and Hillary on health care policy.

If he does not change his idiotic plan, i am NOT voting for him, and I am sitting the election.

No differences? Tell that to the 15 million Americans that he is willing to leave uninsured.

What that means is that while 1 in 20 Americans will continue to be uninsured, 1 in 4 black people will go uninsured.

He avoided the tough issues in the Illinois senate by voting neither yes nor no but present on 120 bills. What will he do if he makes it to the white house?

He's been big on criticizing Hilary for her positions – well, at least she has them. He is better than McCain, but not by much.

Still for Hill, You are not a democrat, you have the nerve to use the term Moderate DEM, is that another word for republican, becasue if you are a democrat then you would know that McCain is never a option, if your sports team does not win, would you go out and buy and wear the other teams jersey?

Anyone that is willing to do the research will be able to find this out. Its no secret to find out how they compare on issues. Those that choose to vote opposite party because of physical features (which is what it boils down to) are proving themselves to be ignorant and lazy.

The differences between Senators Obama and Clinton on policy may be small; however the differences in how they approached the nomination campaign are significantly larger. I voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 & 1996 but Hillary Clinton lost my vote along the way. Her premeditated actions brought out of people so much hatred and so many prejudices for each other because of skin color, gender, and socio-economic background that I realized how hateful American society truly is beneath the surface. Hillary Clinton systematically extracted, exploited and milked this basic hatred that American people have for one another to fuel her campaign. She smiled, waved, and thrived on it in so many sound bytes on the campaign trail. It was so sad and disheartening to bear witness to Hillary Clinton’s Campaign of Hatred because the rest of the world bore witness as well; in a time when global opinion of the United States couldn’t be any lower, and deservedly so. Senator Obama as President can help rebuild the image of the United States in the world and make this country great again at home through his message of change. How does Hillary Clinton expect to rebuild a nation by exploiting the deep hatred that Americans have for each other for her own gain?

There is a HUGE difference.

Hillary knows how to get the job done.

The difference between Obama and Clinton on the issues is small compared to Obama and Clinton versus McCain. A reason why the Democratic primary focuesd more on personalities was because there was little difference between Obama and Clinton. The reason why long Democratic primary became divisive was because of the personal nature that Clinton and Obama supporters identified with the respective candidates. I know Clinton and Obama supporters have an emotional attachment to their candidates but the issues are bigger than the candidates. I do not want 4 more years of Bush or Bush-like policies. Bush has squandered the budget surplus and helped to put us into deficits. For all of Bill Clinton's personal failings, the budget was in surplus for when he left office. If Obama had lost to Clinton, then I would have been upset, but since Obama and Clinton support the issues that I care about right now, I would have voted for my issues by voting for Clinton. Clinton supporters should look at the issues that they care about the most. If they voted for Clinton and her issues, then the vote for your issues by voting for Obama. Since I am an Independent and happily not Democrat nor Republican, I look at the direction the country is going in and choose the candidate at this time that more closely supports the issue that I care about. Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with either party enough to join them. I do not let emotion get in the way of the decision I make. Remember on thing. ISSUES NOT EMOTIONS!!!!!

If that is the case, why did you make it look bigger during the primaries. You attempted to destroy her, and her position for the nomination. Now that you need her supporters, you now claim differences aren't that big. I am a black male and I still feel you need to apologise to the clintons for making them look like racists during the primaries. You know in your heart of heart that they are not racist and have done a lot for the Black community and the nation at large. If such aopology is not made, and steps taken to repair their credibility you supported to destroy, I will not vote McCain but will not Vote for you also. I will just stay at home in GE. Unity should also be in the Black community with the Clintons. I respect you for what you haven't done, but I also respect them greatly for what they have done and you have helped destroy.

See. So why again would a Hillary supporter vote for McCain? Why did you support Hillary in the first place, again?

I am a former Democrat turned Independent by the recent primaries. If Hillary was on the ticket I would return to the Democrats. As an Independent both sides are going to have to fight for my vote.

That is what I have been saying all along. This is also why I think it would be better for the country if she were his VP, they could more done in less time.

Obama / Hillary 08

Let's look at the bigger picture here. We do not want much of the same policies we have right now. What do we want for our children?

Mr. Obama, Please dont take that name " Hillary ". She is nothing.. she won most of her states by Cheating, Negative Campaigning, CNN Support, Racial speeches... DO NOT PICK HER AS VP.
She deserves nothing and her supporters can be in a confused state of mind and vote for McCain or Britney Spears.... but you will win with a whopping majority
Hillary supporters voting for McCain ,please do so. Nobody cares.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Imagine on inaguration day after all the years in Chicago, the senate, and now the excruciating campaign trail. President Obama looks up and before he is sworn in he says 'Fooled You' I was really a Muslim all along and I had nothing better to do all this time. I just wanted a hobby!
Critics the ugly truth is...Obama is real, he is more patriotic than most people in our country, he doesn't need a flag pin to show it and He was Made In The USA!
Also how's bout that, we have a new word for the day. Already President Obama you are expanding our minds.

Infinitesimal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Infinitesimals have been used to express the idea of objects so small that there is no way to see them or to measure them. For everyday life, an infinitesimal object is an object which is smaller than any possible measure. When used as an adjective in the vernacular, "infinitesimal" means extremely small, but not necessarily "infinitely small".

good grief people....wake up.....maybe you'll actually learn something today.

Lol. Don Smith, and where is she right now?? Not running for President. You guys make this to easy..

Poor little Obama...
If he were in a tree, he would be a branch manager. A Marxist, branch manager.
Although Delay is dissed on this site, he makes a point. If it looks like a pig, smells like a pig and acts like a pig, it just might be a pig.
In this case, a socialist pig named Obama.

The postings here are hysterical. ANYONE who thinks that Hussein OR Hillarity are good for America is delusional. We have such lousy choices this time out. A socialist or a liberal. Either one will be a disaster, especially with a democRat majority in Congress. Hold onto your wallets and your freedom of speech. It doesn't exist in Canada, thanks to years of liberal socialist policy and it will be leaving here soon with the current crop of idiots in DC. Polictical correctness was the first step toward tyranny. Hussein will be the next. Liberal policies never deliver on the feel good promises they make. Why? Because they just want your ignorant votes. Then the media tells you what a great job liberals are doing while nothing is actually improving, as they said it would. Wake up, liberal fools. It ain't about equal outcome. It's about equal opportunity.

Looking at some of the "Hillary Supporters for McCain", I see that their only response is essentially, "I don't care if their positions are the same, I will NEVER vote for Obama!" This essentially says nothing. It's hard to even believe that these people are really Hillary supporters. They don't agree with her support of Obama, they don't agree with her policies. Just how were they "supporting" Hillary at all?

Even the "college educated with a post-baccalaureate degree" person above spends three paragraphs to say that Obama is "depressing" and that she can handle 4 more years of a republican president, which would guarantee that Hillary herself will have much LESS of an influence in government than if Obama were elected.

I supported Hillary, and I still support Hillary. And I'm going to show my support by voting for OBAMA and help make Hillary's dreams a reality.

Charlotte, What's wrong with being black? How does being black set back race relations?
Be careful what you say, because sometime it comes across differently than what you may intend.

I think Hillary Clinton surrogates (not the woman herself) set back the womens' movement for crying sexism and using very weak examples to back them up such as the "Brush ya shoulders off" jesture that young people understand and "the Annie Oakley" commment that was not offensive AT ALL!!! As a woman, A strong independent one if I do say so, It angers me when people use terms like racism and sexism so carelessly and so loosely....

Its so amusing, and frankly scary to see all of these sheeple fall for Obama's empty, rehashed slogans as he leads them to the slaughter. He is the most far-left candidate in history and he has nothing new to bring to the table. His plans are the same old tired Liberal ideas that have failed time and time again. He and the Big Government will save you. If his worshippers would at least study his past and find out what he really believes, then maybe they might wake up from their slumber. I've never heard a candidate say so much and yet so little. Take the teleprompters and prepared speeches away and see how he really performs. Bottom line, he is a hard-core Left-wing extremist Liberal with ideas that will further gut the Constitution and remove more of our liberties as well as no real solution for our energy crisis. He ignores history and fails to understand the magnitude of the mess we will really be in if he pulls troops out now. He virtually has no experience on any level and his voting record is atrocious. Jimmy Carter all over again. By the way, he'll never invite Clinton to join the ticket. Bush's failures paved the way for this guy to come out of the most corrupt political city, Chicago, and rise to the forefront. We'll see if the Obama-loving MSM can be penetrated in the next five months.

I say Obama should put Jimmy Carter on the ticket!!!! They have more in common than any other two people in the Democratic party. I'm shocked that so many are impressed with the use of the word "Infinitesimal". Give me a break! Did any of you graduate from high school?

I just want to note that infinitesimal is, in fact, a word that you can find in the dictionary. It seems like there are a lot of comments claiming that Obama made it up...well he didn't. It can be an adjective meaning "immeasurably or incalculably minute" or a noun meaning "an immeasurably or incalculably minute amount or quantity." Thus he used the word quite well.
Incidentally, it is also a math term referring to a fuction or variable that has a limit of zero (meaning it approaches zero).

GO OBAMA!!!

Obama will lose in November. Hillary should stay away. His supporters are temporary. College students who will be having babies and involved in their own lives with no interest in voting in 4 years. Hillarys supporters are true democrats. McCain talks tough now but he is truly a moderate.

McCain 2008
Hillary 2012

This is true, after all Obama IS ON RECORD saying that had he been senator at the time he would have voted to approve the move to war. Also he has voted in favor of every single defense spending increase.
The chief difference is that he lies about his record in this respect while Clinton was honest. And people still believe Obama.
Heaven help us if he's elected!

(HILLARY SUPPORTER TO THE END)............Please stop claiming to be a Hillary Supporter. WHO ARE YOU KIDDING !!! My Scottie is more a HiIlary Supporter than you ARE or will ever be...... !!!!! Please go out and drum contributions for McCain ....he could use a 59 year youngster as yourself getting out the donations !!!!! IF you know the issues she ran on and compared them to the issues Obama is running on you would feel ridiculous not casting your vote as a DEMOCRAT.

The difference?
Ohhhhh, lets say one has balls and the other is Barack Millhouse Obama.
Lets Allllllll Pretend he is wonderful, OK. Now stop asking questions, you want him to be elected don't you? The ends DO justify the means dont they?

So after all the "Change" purported by Obama is 'infinitesimal' in weight and essence vis-a-vis that what the people would like to see. I believe, this statement is nothing more than a preview to an Obama-Clinton ticket. Ha ha, yes SHE can!

i was listening to a talk show and a lawyer who was at law school with OBAMA. She states that he is not so smart but a smart move would be to have clinton as vp because then the vote will be against mccain. If some one untested is used the result will be voting for mccain who is leading in the polls at major search engines. I want to vote for democrats but the result will be the perception of the best candidate. In California that was a republican governor and i think obama will loose witrh untested candidates. Clinto is tested and can make the best case about the economy. To lose clinton i pr`edict democrats can los`e as mccain is seen as working with democrats

Can someone explain:
1. Why if Hillary isn't 'change' Bill Richardson is? He served as Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton. Seem like an insider to me.
2. Why Hillary must 'deliver' her supporters, but Obama doesn't have to win them? Isn't it Obama's job to convince voters he's the best person for the job?
3. Why the huge differences they both were emphasizing a month ago are suddenly 'infinitesimal'?
4. Whether Hillary was lying before when she said Obama wasn't qualified, or is lying now when she says he is
5. One thing, just one, that Obama is actually responsible for accomplishing in the US Senate.

They also disagree about the issues on dealing with Iran. To bad that CNN doesn't report the hole truth. Iran will be the next big problem. A fact that i am sure CNN will not report because Obama made such a fool of himself with talk of presidential diplomacy with no bench marks.

I can not believe how many of you are admitting that you have never heard the word "infinitesimal" before! The U.S. school system is failing indeed! Obama did not make the word up. It is an actual word and has been in use for over 200 years. People, please start to improve your vocabularies.

2nd msg....1st one thrown out.

Since the differences are so small, the race between Hillary and Obama should have been left to run its natural course.

Many of us and around the world will always wonder what the outcome would've been, especially since it was truly historic.

What Obama doesn't seem to understand is that Hillary's supporters genuinely love and respect her. He can try to entice us...doesn't mean he'll get us. The differences are bigger than you think, Obama, and there is thing about the disrespect shown to Hillary.

“Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left"

-Clint Eastwood

He's right, reading these posts you're all the same kind of idiots.

Wow – I can't believe how the LIBS have thrown the Clintons under the Bus. What happened – Clinton was your hero for years and years. I think you all have developed the disease Obambi has – when it no longer works don't admit your mistakes, just throw them (Wright, Ayers, PFlager, his grandmother) under the Bus... All you libs on this board I am sure are part the of the Dumbest Generation – those under 30 whose only knowledge is video games, youtube, facebook, text messaging.. anything else is TOOO much for any of you to handle, thus the love for the messiah Obama... He doesn't address anything with any substantial, well-thoughout solutions – he just well he just Text Messages everything – thus the reason why you all love him.

Signed Cowgirl.. one who knows the substantial configuration and work it takes to deliver text messaging, facebook, youtube and video games to the Dumbest Generation....

For all you kids who still believe what politicians say as truth...BO takes money from lobbyist too. Do your research and your suppose to be the smart ones. Yet to see that proven. Don't forget the Dems have been running congress for a couple years now...what have they done? Michigan is nothing anymore and ran by Dems for 6 plus years now. You people better do your research.

Barbara,

The best Presidents have had less experience than Obama Obama has had MORE experience and success running large operations and in the legislature than Mrs. Clinton. Your reason for not wanting to back him is unfounded.

I urge you to do some soul searching and see if there may not be another, darker reason why you can't support Obama.

This is a pivotal campaign w/ so much at stake, don't be so simple Barbara!

why should he add Hillary to the ticket.
....................OBAMA will surround himself with all the experience he needs. You can't run a country by yourself "LIKE GEORGE BUSH TRIED TO AND FAILED......
.................

she (HILLARY ) might make a good SECY OF STATE.............
............

STOP WITH ALL THE PRESSURE............................

EITHER YOUR GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM OR NOT............

THERE ARE REPUBLICANS WAITING IN THE WINGS TO TAKE YOUR SPOT IN HISTORY BECAUSE THEY KNOW CRAZY MCCAIN WILL MAKE US A 3rd WORLD COUNTRY AND HE AND CINDY WILL FLY OFF TO AN ISLAND LEAVING US PENNYLESS.......

YA BETTER THINK ABOUT YOUR SILLY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW.....

OBAMA 08

I will not vote for Obama – did not want him in the primary – still do not want him in the General. Do not care about the Party and I do not share Hillary's views on him. I respect Hillary but I will vote for whomever I choose. I owe the dem. party and Obama and his supporters nothing.

Some of you ask how Obama is going to pay for some of the things he talks about and I say to you listen closely when he is talking he telling you. All the breaks given to corporations and the money spent on the war will help pay for some of these things. HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND LISTEN WHEN HE TALKS.

Bitter people get mad and vote against their own best interest. He told no lies. They get mad at the truth because they can't handle the truth. Maybe it's not a good thing to have a woman as president, because if a world leader does not agree with her she just might react like the Hillary supporters on here and blow us all up.
Now I understand why most of you are going to vote McSame. We won't be mad at you for cutting off your own head, you just can't help youself. Well we might as well just hang on because McSame is going to win with your help and when Hillary runs next time we will do the same to her so I guess the republicans will be in the White House for at least 16yrs.

Dear Sean Lloyds:

Do you walk upright and have opposable thumbs. I can't believe people as ignorant as you are still exist. You should be in a museum, next to the beta vcr and 8 track. What even more tragic, is that someone slept with you, now innocent children are subjected to your ignorance. I will pray for your children.

Issues of the day may be small between them, but the character and value systems are vastly different. Barack Obama has shown professionalism touting HRC's strengths in the campaign. For me, I couldn't have been that gracious. When HRC endorsed Obama, she didn't say "I support Barack Obama for President". She said "I support a democrat for President". Now who as a President wants their 2nd in command to be less than enthused over your earned Presidency and who wants to be tied to someone who is $30M in debt. She has poor character and poor spending habits. Barack has excellent character and patience to do the right thing, not for himself, but for this country.

Of course, the difference between Obama and Clinton is infintiesmile
because all of your policies belongs to H.R. Clinton.

Your are about as original as an apple seed.

We, Clintn supporters will never vote for Obama, because we do not believe he is the best candidate for the presidency.

We will stay home in the millions come November, to demonstrate to the DNC, the RBC and the media that they will never ever, not have a legitimate primary again.

And last but not least we are changing our affiliation to Independents.

Obama/Clinton '08!

Worst choice: Bill Richardson. Not the strongest speaker.

I beg to differ. Hillary didn't attend klan meetings at any point in her life; Obama attended a radical anti-white church that preached Liberation Theology for 20 years. I think that is a vast difference in the two candidates. Hillary was proposing Universal Health Care while Obama was giving amens,to the likes of Rev Wright and Pfleger. Not to mention Obama financial ear marks for Pflegers church ministries. We can expect a lot more of the same if Obama wins the "Whitehouse". Is there a church, any where else in America,that is serving a difference racial background of poverty stricken people,receiving such monies?

Still for Hil.......

You want a person who went millions into dept during her campaing managing the government's money??? No thanks. I learned a long time ago, you don't spend what you don't have. Hillery must not have gotten that memo......

Obama's differences with Hillary on issues may have been tiny, however, Obama is definitely the more liberal of the two. For a middle of the road person like me that's big. In addition, my biggest problem with Obama is that he attended a black liberation church for twenty years and listened to its pastor who preached racism and hate and never batted an eyelash. His financial and spiritual support of that church tells me that he supported what the church stood for - "non-negotiable commitment to Africa" for example. Obama has never really addressed this issue and his wife has demonstrated her anger with America further bringing to question his real core values, his judgment and his honesty with the American voters.

Along with all the other historic firsts in this campaign cycle, Hillary Clinton may have just set another new milestone in her campaign: The largest presidential campaign debt in history. The New York Times notes this morning that Hillary's large debts, including $9.5 million in unpaid bills to vendors, could dog her for years with only a limited legal range of options on how to deal with it.

For example, any renegotiated debts would have have to be approved by the FEC, after having ensured that a good-faith effort was made to pay it off. And Hillary could end up spending a long time raising cash expressly for the purposes of paying off old bills, not financing a current or future campaign.
**************************************************************************8

Here's some thing for Hillary's supporters – since you love her so much! Why don't you help her! Another reason why she lost!

I support Obama.......... one of the rules for Hillary supporters – we don't need your threats that you will vote for Mc Cain... WE DON'T CARE! We beat Hillary without your support! Obama has millions in his warchest.................. without your support! We will beat Mc Cain without your support!

Sean Lloyds June 10th, 2008 10:24 am ET

Its called the White House for a reason…and that is how I want
the White House to be seen by my kids..an institution run with a right type of leader and not colored up by Obama.

No Hillary, then it will be McCain..this is what we as white Americans
must preserve!
-------------------------------
WOW!..if that isnt pure rasism at its best!..although i must say that this is a bit more refreshing to hear than the usual"Oh he's a Muslim" or they are anti-American.. or that he and his wife exanching the fist pound is a terrorist gesture!!!.. this idiot doesnt hide behind his prejustice with bullcrap claims and bogus rumors..he doesnt need a permission slip to not vote for him.. he just wont! Now ask yourselfs whether or not you secretly agree. If you do.. STOP HIDING BEHIND BULL..just put it out there!

McCain/Lieberman/Keating 08!

Don't believe the hype.

How convenient that now he differences between him and Sen. Clinton are infinitesimal. Americans are too intelligent for this old political mind trick, and I thought he was not about the 'Old Politics'?

He was playing golf when Sen. Clinton made her exit speech and endorsed him. Huh?

Obama is running for the Second Term of Carter. He intends to sit down with notorious world leaders without preconditions, yet refuses to meet with American generals in Iraq concerning the progress on the ground. Huh?

His campaign touts his good judgment, but how is it that he took 20 years to distance himself from the controversial figures of Rev. Wright and Catholic priest Rev. Pfleger, when it takes most people 20 seconds? Huh?

This is not change we can believe in.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

New language? This isn't even news. What do you mean "new language"...new to CNN? It's not new language, its a word CNN isn't familiar with. Its a word that's in the dictionary. It's new to me too, but this certainly isn't news worthy. It's just another attempt to knit-pick at candidates.

There are many of the so called HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS were never democrats in the first place. Remember the RUSH'S republicans who cast their votes for Sen. Hillary or changed their party for whatever reason.

Nothing but Republicans posting here as Obama haters. It is so obvious. Repubs will definetly lose in November. Dirty pool:(

Dee... brilliant...........................................

I think Gen Powell is the best choice.........

Jack from TX clearly you're not a grammar expert ( you spelled grammar wrong), you should also look up infinitesimal. Yes it is an actual word meaning minute, small and that would make Senator Obama correct about their differences!!!

I continue to love the bickering between the dems. Keep it up!

WOW..... a real word meaning exactly what the speaker who used it intended to imply, wouldn't it be novel and wonderful to have a president you could believe in for a wonderful CHANGE... his words meaning exactly what he said.

Some of the obama-bots want to say Hillary set the womens movement back? How far back has Obama set racial relations? It seems as if all I hear anymore is black this, black that. Even Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee are at it. I am sick of this whole election. I will still write Hillary on my ballot in November.

mccain 08

hillary 12

I was a Hillary supporter and have now switched my support to Obama. I mus t say though, the Obama supporters that continue to post blogs are really rude when it coems to Hillary. She ran a great campaign and you shoudl never forget that 18 million people voted for her! Get over it already will you, the fight is over and now the party is one. If he chose her great, if not she will keep on fighting as she has for years. You really need to move on already and focus on Mcain!
And by the way, do you think this is new, try looking at the match ups of the past!

Well, during the debates, Obama would wait for Hillary to answer and then just respond with yup, uh huh, I agree.

The difference is that Hillary knows how to get the job done and Obama does not.

And THAT is a huge diffference.

NEW ORLEANS " Republican Sen. John McCain, campaigning through poverty-stricken cities and towns, said Wednesday he opposes a Senate bill that seeks equal pay for women because it would lead to more lawsuits.

Senate Republicans killed the bill Wednesday night on a 56-42 vote that denied the measure the 60 votes needed to advance it to full debate and a vote. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had delayed the vote to give McCain's Democratic rivals, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, time to return to Washington to support the measure, which would make it easier for women to sue their employers for pay discrimination.

McCain skipped the vote to campaign in New Orleans.

"I am all in favor of pay equity for women, but this kind of legislation, as is typical of what's being proposed by my friends on the other side of the aisle, opens us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems," the expected GOP presidential nominee told reporters. "This is government playing a much, much greater role in the business of a private enterprise system."

HOW TO WIN FLORIDA ( RETIREE) VOTERS; POINT OUT THE FACT THAT; (1) SOCIAL SECURITY HAS ALREADY REACHED THE ' 'WE HAVE NO MORE MONEY' BREAKING POINT. SECONDLY. THEIR ARE MORE BABY BOOMERS WITH LESS INCOME COMING IN AS OUR . GOVT HAS BEEN ' ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL'. FOR YEARS. DO FLORIDIANS KNOW ; IN 7-9 YEARS MEDICARE WILL NO LONGER BE SELF-SUFFICIENT? BOTH MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY WILL BE BROKE.? I AM SURPRISED THIS TOPIC HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED BY SEN O'BAMA. . HE IS FORGETTING A POINT THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ALL SENIOR CITIZENS IN FLORIDA. WHEN THEY REALIzE ITS GOING TO HIT HOME THEY WILL LISTEN AND YOU SHALL GET THEIR VOTE. WHY IS OUR GOVT HIDING THIS FACT FROM THE SENIOR CITIZENS WHO (PERHAPS) CANNOT AFFORD A NEWSPAPER.?

@Pappu

What every Hilary and Obama supporter seems to forget is that we are one democratic govt and we need to come together to win the Election

When the Bush Adminstration took office in 2000 gas was $1.47 a gallon. Today, after the idiotic invasion of Iraq, gas stands at $4.04 a gallon.

Think about this one fact before you vote for John McCain or any other Republican. The Republicans have almost destroyed this country with their incompetence, greed and corruption. John McCain is the poster boy for all that is wrong in American politics and governance. In my opinion he's worse than Bush because he claims he's not a party to the debacle of Republican rule. That's B.S. Anyone who has been in office on the Hill for three decades is definitely a part of the problem.

HE IS ONLY SAYING THIS NOW TO GET HER VOTES!

ANY ONE WITH A LITTLE INTELLIGENCE CAN FIGURE THIS GUY OUT!

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD OLD FASHIONED HONESTY?

OBAMA WILL NOT GET MY VOTE!

TO PUT HIM IN OFFICE WILL ONLY FURTHER THE BIAS AGAINST WOMEN!!!!!!

I AM SURE THAT CNN WILL DELETE THIS ONE!

Ahh, another day and more republicans posting while pretending to be Clinton supporters

No to Hillary!!!. She comes with too much baggage. Too divisive -s he and her snipers etc. Was quite a sore loser. Plus Bill and Chelsea would move into the white house. Choose another woman for VP and I would be very happy.

Hmm let's compare:

McCain: permanent occupation of Iraq, our men and women are never coming home to stay.

Clinton: timetable to end war
Obama: timetalbe to end war

McCain: further erosion of health care coverage – opening it up to the benevolent "market" and encouraging people not to get cancer in the first place by getting out and walking more.

Clinton: universal health care
Obama: unverisal health care

Oh the list goes on.

i love obama to the end baby

Some Question Obama's experience.....All I ask you is what pray tell experience foreign policy or otherwise did the dude who led our country for the last 7 and a half years have when he took office? Answer: Not a day in the senate and believe me it showed. N-N-Nucular!
(Momma told me not make fun of uneducated people but seriously I went to community college and he attended an Ivy League School.) What's up with that!

and you know something ? Hillary will be just fine if McCain is elected.

The question is will the women who are planning to vote their "emotions" ? This is like having a bunch of women on PMS let loose on the election .

Hey Sean Lloyds – remember it's your 'kind' that have screwed this country up. Maybe we need a different kind to fix it up.

An Obama – Clinton ticket would be great for the democratic party and for the US as well ! Senator Mc Cain , in my opinion , will do a better job as a senator than a president because of his age and his inconsistent political viewpoints . It seems to be too late for him to stay from president Bush .

It's no small wonder there differences are infinitesimal. When questioned by the media, he didn't have his own positions. He copied Hillary's. If you recall, during most of their debates, she was questioned first by the media.

I love reading the comments put in by so many of you. Gives me a good laugh to see how uninformed and mostly ignorant so many people are.

We don't have a good choice from either side to be president in this upcoming election. How in the hell we got to where we are now with the original pool of candidates that each side started with i have no clue.

Of course when you consider the fact that probably 50% of the voting population is as ignorant as most of the people that comment on here I guess I can see how it happened.

Our system for electing our leaders while it is fair to give everyone a say, also hurts us by allowing so many people who have no clue as to what is going on to cast a vote based on what little they do understand.

This country is in serious trouble if alot of things don't change soon.

Don't believe the hype.

How convenient that now he cites that the differences between him and Sen. Clinton are infinitesimal. Americans are too intelligent for this old political mind trick, and I thought he was not about the 'Old Politics'?

He was playing golf when Sen. Clinton made her exit speech and endorsed him.

Obama is running for the Second Term of Carter. He intends to sit down with notorious world leaders without preconditions, yet refuses to meet with American generals in Iraq concerning the progress on the ground. Huh?

His campaign touts his good judgment, but how is it that he took 20 years to distance himself from controversial figures of Rev. Wright and Catholic priest Rev. Pfleger, when it takes most people 20 seconds? Huh?

This is not change we can believe in.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

HEY ......

THIS RACE IS NOT ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON..............OK

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN DO IT....................

WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR THIS COUNTRY CAN NOT & WILL NOT BE CHANGED BY YOU.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

Scott, Wichitta says:
"Clinton has far more in common with McCain than with Obama"

You have just summed up why Obama is Dem nominee instead of Clinton. Thank you.------ NEXT!!!----------–

that's the truth.hillarys just cant get over the fact we want someone new.not bush clinton bush clinton,same old gridlock.a change is a coming.

I thought Iraq was a huge difference. If he didn't believe there was any real policy difference between him and Clinton, I guess what Obama was saying is that he won because (a) better smile, (b) better figure, (c) younger, (d) better speaker, or (e) better looking spouse?

Then it sounds like Hillary would be the perfect choice for his running mate. That is, unless he doesn't want a woman on the ticket with him.

Senators Clinton and Obama want increased access to health care, enviornmental responsibility, an exit strategy for Iraq and restored fairness to trade and tax policy. Guess who else is on that page: most Americans!

Joyce in Florida you and the other "18 million" Hillary supporters need to get over yourselves. Hillary should not be on the ticket as VP. If their ideas are basically the same expect for health care why does he need a yes woman. He needs someone who can bring new ideas to the table, who he can counsel with. If he bring Hillary to the ticket, his ideas will quickly become her ideas, just like she co-opted he husband's presidency to hype her "experience" which you all brought hook line and sinker. The VP is not a 2 for 1 deal, and I can't imagine Obama wants the heache of dealing with the likes of McAuliffe, Ickes, Wolfson & Carville and the other Clinton leeches for 4 years.

How does this use of language differ from strategery? I predict that someday soon we will be longing for the steadfast era of GWB while either of his two possible successors veer all over the map. They're not that different!

We know that Barack....only diehard racists 're threatening to vote for McBush and their failed policies.

There are a lot of people who think Barack made up that word.
Unbelievable!

I'm tired of Clinton supporters threatening to taint the election if Clinton is not VP. Get over yourselves. There are equally qualified candidates available. Obama is doing well among Latinos, and will also do well among educated women, who know that a vote for McCain or write-in for Hillary means the overturn of Roe vs. Wade ins term. So what does Hillary bring, besides old politics and a spiteful attitude about how things have turned out?

Obama can pick a better VP like Jim Webb, Sam Nunn, or Evan Bayh, and they will all deliver things Clinton can't, and Obama won't then have to worry about keeping Bill and Hillary on a leash.

Did you ever notice in the debates between Obama and Clinton?

His answer when asked a question "I agree with what Sen Clinton
just said" This man has no experience and McCain will beat
him in November,

I JUST VIEW THE FUTURE HEADLINERS:

HEADLINE ONE:

CLINTONS SUPPORTS CUT THEIR NOSES OF, FORGETTING THERE IS OVER 300 MILLION VOTERS IN THE US.

HEADLINE TWO:

THEY LOOK SO FOOLISH THINKING IT IS ONLY 18 MILLION VOTERS MINUS
THE 60% THAT DID VOTE FOR OBAMA.

HEADLINE THREE:

OBAMA WON AND NOW THEY ARE CHOKING FOR AIR.

You do realize 95% of the fake HILL supporters saying they voting for McCain are republican plants.

No rational Hill supporter would chose McCain over Obama....

Don't you get it you idiot Obama supporters. Obama may only win the prepresidency is he chooses Hillary as his running mate, otherwise you will all be sobbing loud after the election........we told you so.

What kind of campaign did Hillary run ?

30 million in debt ? The worse debt of any campaign in history . If all of you so called Hillary supporters care about her why don't each of you send $2 to her campaign and help her, instead of demanding Obama pay her bills ?

She did not get 18 million votes. The actual number is around 17.5 million, but in Hillary's new math - you round up by half a million. (Do you see a pattern here – the debt and her inability to do math ?)

How many of those 18 million were due to operation chaos? Republicans voting in the Democratic primaries just to skew the numbers . At least a million possibly more. How many were pure racist votes? They'd never ever vote for a black man? At least a few million or more.

Many Hillary supporters have already come over to the Obama camp.

The women who care about Supreme Court justices and a pro choice will come over .

The women who just "wanted a woman" probably won't . So they will be idiots and vote against their own self interest. There is a reason Hillary attracted the "less educated" - I'll let you figure that out for yourselves.

If you can......

Reagrding the comment about "goosetepping" and "communists" , think the writer has their factions and their history a bit mixed up. Not surprising, considering the far-fetched opinion they were trying to express.

I'm tired of Clinton supporters threatening to taint the election if Clinton is not VP. Get over yourselves. There are equally qualified candidates. Obama is doing well among Latinos, and will also do well among educated women, who know that a vote for McCain or write-in for Hillary means the overturn of Roe vs. Wade ins term.

Obama can pick a better VP like Jim Webb, Sam Nunn, or Evan Bayh, and they will all deliver things Clinton can't, and Obama won't then have to worry about keeping Bill and Hillary on a leash.

Obama cannot win the general election without Hillary's supporters, especially the women. So the Obama people should be a little nicer toward Hillary!

Dealt June 10th, 2008 10:25 am ET

"For all those Clinton supporters who are saying they'll never vote Obama… if they do and the Democrats lose the general election to McCain, Clinton will be widely blamed for that. "

Positioning Obama to lay the blame for his loss if it happens at someone else's feet?

This election is Obama's to lose, and if he does there is no one else to blame. It is his responsibility to win over the electorate.

I will vote for the Democrat over McCain, no matter who it is, though I would have been happier with Clinton.

I hope those Hillary supporters begin to love themselves as much as they love a stranger (Hillary) When people say they will vote to hurt their families and themselves because a stranger lost an election that isso sad. I believe even Hillary has to feel sorry for her supporters.

I truly can't believe that a true democrat, whether conservative or far left, would ever consider voting for McCain. We all need to be working to get these Republicans out of the White House. The average American will prosper when the White House and Senate are Democratic. I understand that people vote for the candidate whom they identify with and feel best represents the community in which they live. I truly feel that is the problem with most of you people dead set against Obama. You can't imagine a charismatic, intelligent, strong, Christian African-American man in your community, your workplace and definitely not your home and so you don't think he can do the job. Please visit his website, read his views on the issues (which is what actually matters) and make your comparisons with Clinton. You will see that any other decision but Obama in the fall will be a terrible mistake.

OBAMA never pick Hillary as your VP, there 're so many smart women and men who can bring those women back not Hillary. She is a Democrat by affiliation and a Republican by actions. Hillary's speech on saturday focused only on women, herself not a single word on McBush and policies......

I would like to see Senator Clinton become the new REAL leader in the senate. Harry Reid, while an honorable enough person, is a painfully inept leader of the senate. If we truly are going to be forming a governing coalition then Hillary Clinton at the helm of the senate would be one of the best smartest moves in history.

Additionally, she would be FAR FAR more powerful as senate majority leader than as VP.

Just a thought.

.........jfs Memhis, Tn..........

You nailed it ! How insightfull !

everyone on this ticker if you missed it:

"He's absolutely correct .That supports my studies of bothof the candidates positions and issues. Which leads me to some of Sen. Clinton's supporters thereatening to vote for McCain. I cannot believe that her voters understand the issues at hand and HOW THE REPUBLICANS are just 'Exactly' the opposite of Hillary and Obama. McCain is in favor of more years in Iraq (with any causualities there may be), Against Pro-Choice, IN FAVOR of uncontrolled off-shore Trade Agreements that could hurt our Economy, and appointing CONSERVATIVE JUDGES TO THE SUPREME COURT. All of the above both Obama and Clinton agree CANNOT happen. My question is ………….did these folks vote for Hillary because she was a women ??? Did they vote for her because she is not Black??? Are many of her 18 million supporters Republicans in disquise and were hoping to get her the nomination for an easier win in NOV ???? What gives ??? The Clinton vote is important …but the right to vote is a priviledge that should not be used as a punishment for the rest of the country or used frivilously to STICK the rest of the country and SERVICEMEN with policies that are determental. Believe me there were two Groups of 18 million voters , one of which is OBAMA. Hillary can never win anything without us either. That would include anything in 2012 if we lose because of selfishness and immaturity by Sen Clinton's Supporters."

I believe in Hillary, Hillary is backing Bapack Obama, I am backing Barack Obama !

I am sick of the insinuation that those who supported HIllary were all uneducated, uninformed idiots. Now that she has conceded even after winning the popular vote I feel a bit blah about the prospects of voting. I find Senator Obama a tad dis-ingenuous. But the problem I face is whether to vote at all. Living in Pa. this state could easily go to John McCain in November. Mr. Obama should think about this when making his decision regarding a running mate. A nod for Hillary as V.P. could give alot of us something to get excited about, a reason to get out there and vote. That is, if You Obama supporters really want him to win in the fall.

Everyone wants to know how Obama will pay for his plans. How about not sending 1 trillion dollars to IRAQ!

It seems like the crazed democrats who kept jeering against Bam Bam are a d ying breed. Each day the tenor lightens up a bit. This is good to know. Hate cannot stay around forever and the more you hold tight to its venemous grip, the more you become poisoned with all of the ill emotions that are inherent to it. Good to see a lot of the anger being let go. Love is the higher emotion. Some should read "Machiavelli–The Prince" –new prospectives will certainly abound.

Its clear that most of that women’s voters would not vote Obama even if she is the VP. This means that she does not in fact have 18,000,000 voters to bring to the table. So why should he pick her regardless of her back room begging? I say we take our chances without her. A good VP search has 3components:
1. Can the person encourage votes?
2. Do you enjoy working with this person?
3. Would you trust the person as President should you fall?

Last, I doubt Bill Clinton would past the vetting process if she is on the short list. And she does not want him vetted either. There is a reason they call it the dream ticket, and it is because Clinton can keep dreaming.

Exactly! So if you supported Hillary's take on the ISSUES, Obama is the obvious choice in the general...unless you actually believe he could be muslim or some other ludicrous nonsense.

McCain is the OPPOSITE of EVERYTHING Hillary and Obama are FOR.

DEMOCRATS '08!

YOUR DO NOT GET IT THIS IS ONE OF OBAMA TRICK TO GET CLINTON SUPPORTER ON HIS SIDE. HE IS NOT THINKING OF HILLARY VP.HE MEAN GET ON MY BANDWAGON BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH DIFFRENCES SO DO NOT PLEASE LET HIM FOOL YOU PLEASE

differences are 'infinitesimal' I DON'T THINK SO when you check her program on Health Care, withdraw of Irak and foreing policy (NOT talking directly to the leaders of Iran, Cuba...etc.)
When I heard Roland Martin say on CNN that the Tuesday speech would not be give her the "second violon" position, I definitely don't think this is the role she deserves to "play" for Obama...She worths more than that!...

Is it not a big problem with most of you Obama liberals that the current President makes up words? You question his intelligence and call him an 'idiot' when he makes something up or stumbles on a word. Yet when Sen. Obama does it, it's awesome. More hypocrisy I suppose? Like one day challenging the "Bush Economic Policies" and the next day suggesting more Bush Tax Rebates as some great new idea.

I continue to be amazed at his success which is based almost entirely on playing off peoples' fears of Bush/Republicans, a war I also opposed and promising change which he reminds us every politician promises and then never delivers. What makes him different?

* Nader 2008 *

To Barbara, Joyce and Others:

Why so concerned with "experience?" It didn't do the current administration any good. I'm a historian, and I urge you consider this angle when November comes: Many of our greatest presidents have been fresh faces. Washington actually had very little political experience before taking office – he was a soldier and a speculator. Lincoln had served one term in Congress, and that was 20 years prior to his presidency. Both Roosevelts, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton....all had spent relatively little time in Washington. History shows experience is a very inconsistent, if not poor, criteria for judging presidential candidates. In fact, being new to the scene arguably made these individuals more effective.

Your reliance on Obama's perceived "lack of experience" is completely misguided. It leads me to believe that it's just a thinly veiled excuse for your personal antagonism towards Obama and his supporters. As someone who voted for Clinton myself, I sympathize with your disgust with the way she's been treated by the press and by commenters on this and other blogs. But it makes absolutely no sense to hold Obama liable for the media's treatment and for comments on these blogs (especially because it's entirely possible that many of them come from Limbaugh operatives).

Vote on the issues. If you don't agree with Obama's economic plan, then vote for McCain. But don't vote for McCain because of some trumped up, misguided and ultimately irrelevant reason. People voting on this basis gave us two Bush terms and put the country in the worst shape it's been in since the Depression.

HRC WILL NOT be Barack's VP! If she were going to be he would have hinted at it already. The writing is on the wall. Thank goodness. She can go back to the Senate for all I care.

HRC supporters who think their threats are going to make Obama pick her as VP are as stupid as EVER. He doesn't NEED all of your votes. He will get the ones he needs with or without you.

The rest of you Obama haters are like little kids. All you do is call him names i.e. creep, loser, racist, etc. as if that matters. You don't attack him on points that matter because you KNOW he differs very little from Clinton and that would prove that you are hypocrites. Just stop crying and go play in your sandboxes!

You don't deserve him, and he doesn't WANT your kind of support. BTW, "infinitesimal" is an actual word and not made up by Obama. If any of you were smart, you'd know that.

This is so true. I do hope Hillary supporters see this, and realiza by not voting or voting for McBush will be an insult to everything she stands for.

To all you angry Hillary voters..just remember..every vote for McCain damages Hillary and Bill's for that matter, future in politics.. and every vote for McCain is one more bullet for your children fighting in that immoral war. Your country is 40 Trillion in debt to China.. this war isn't even paid for by your tax dollars.. but you are willing to let it go on why??
Grow up and give your children a reason to be proud of the democratic voting system..all you are teaching them is hate, and anger and everything else negative about the Democratic system. A vote for McCain will totally sink the ship.. hope will be gone and is that really worth it??? Hillary doesn't need your support anymore but her party does. If he was white would you still NOt vote for him?

That's not what he said while running the Campaign! More proof Rev Wright was telling the truth.....He says what he has to as a politician! Amen!

I think it would be in President Obama's and the Democratic party's best interest to just go ahead and sever all ties with the Clintons and her blind-faith cult followers immediately. With Hillary "suspending" her campaign, that clearly sends a message that she still hasn't conceded the nomination, even though Obama won it fair and square. I'm sick of hearing all these Hillary supporters saying that they're voting for McCain, or that if Hillary isn't "given" the VP slot they won't vote for Obama. Since the vast majority of these senseless supporters are post-menopausal women, it goes without saying that you are effectively hurting any chances another female contender will have in the future. If you honestly beleive that by mobilizing this specific demographic for Hillary at all costs, then you better believe that all of the other demographics will mobilize against you and the next female candidate, just because it's apparent that there is no reasoning or rationalizing with your kind. Hillary LOST the nomination because she spent her entire campaign attacking Obama, when she should've been attacking McCain and the failed Bush administration. She is the one who is soley responsible for the division in the Democratic Party, and it was only natural for the people and Superdelegates to support the candidate that represented a change from the mudslinging politics of yesteryear.

Oh, Doug. Whoever disagrees with Obama supporters, must be an idiot..... that's a great way to "Bring People Together" – insult their intelligence! OK OK, I'll get a pair of hobnail boots and practice goose-stepping and idol-worshipping, so that I can get along better with the Obama people.

Um.....that's not a new word people.

To you clinton groupies get over it she lost, only 10% to maybe 12% percent of you are not going to vote for Obama and for what pride and ignorance! If you do cost us the white house this time, I guarantee you the majority of Democrat voters will make sure clinton will never be President!

Seriously, I believe this is an argument for the need to choose someone other than Senator Clinton for support in other areas, such as national security.

Hillary's war story told me enough about her character that I needed to know. My dislike of her has nothing to do with her gender. I really like you Senator Obama; please don't pick Hillary!!!

All the Hillary supporters who are saying they will vote for McCain in 08 for Hillary in 12 need to be very aware, that if it comes out on election night that Hillary voters did not support Barack Obama, then the Barack Obama supporters can and will make sure that she is never the nominee of the Democratic Party. Hillary has done her job of supporting Barack Obama, and I truley believe she will do everything in her power to make sure he is the next President. Now the Hillary supporters need to step up to the plate and stop voting against your best interest.

If Hilary's supporter's want to change side let them and when we as a country spiral down to nothing because we have what the press calls a maveric (McCain) in office who will they blame. It's not about a person now its about a country our country, which right now is in a state of unrest (unemployment, economy,energy, and family) do you think McCain is honestly going to make a change on the home front if he thinks in his maverick mind that we need to be fighting this war in the middle east. I for one dont think so, its pretty clear we need to step back from this war and take care of us first and not to sound selfish but if we dont help our selves who is going to help us. It sure wont be anybody from the middle east. Im not saying were fighting a losing battle but were giving something up for nothing and as long as we stay in the middle east the longer they will believe that we will never leave and we have to leave sometime better sooner then later before it gets to the point were we cant pull out

These "Hillary supporters" for McCain are skipping a major step in logic. Why were you going to vote for Hillary if you would vote for McCain? If you liked what Hillary was actually talking about, then you are in line with what Obama is talking about. Period. Even if you think Hillary was treated unfairly, it is surely no fault of Obama's. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I am just amazed at some people's attitude. These two candidates both had a shot at the nomination, they campaigned hard and long and Barrack emerged the winner fair and square. No one handed him the ticket by fraud. This is why it is a competition. Everyone knew this going in, so why all the fuzz and hurt feelings now. We all need to grow up and vote our convictions and stop all the whinning.

You would be surprised at how many really stupid women listen to Limbaugh and believe all the lies he tells them.

Obama needs to select the VP NOW as delaying the selection is giving some kind of hopes to the Die-Hard Hillary fans. Once the selection is over the Hillary voters will have the opportunity to heal and think intelligently.
The major difference between Obama and Hillary is Hillary belongs to the schoool of Old Guard and Obama stands for blood of New Change. These two do not mix. Least you forget there are many who do not belong to the Democratic Party but will vote Democratic Party and its larger than 15% of the voters. Think wisely.

Disappointed Hillary fans:
The differences are small between Hillary and Barack. However McCain wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade. I don't think those Hillary supporters understand that they might be disappointed but they still have a representative in Obama. This to me makes Barack the more female friendly candidate.
OBAMA GIVES YOU CHOICE McCain will take it away. It's a FACT!

Obama is right. He and Clinton policies were very similar. However, it was Obama's ability to motivate people that pushed him over top. Clinton's negativity just added fuel to the fire.

Anyway, let's move on. Clinton has boarded the Obama train and is now on our team now. Time to turn our guns to John McCain and shoot him down in November!

Vote for Change

Obamanation '08

Joyce in Florida: the world does not revolve around your petty needs.

Do you want to know the real reason why obama can't get the white collar vote, or the white woman vote? Do you?

RACISM

I had to pull out Webster's for that one!

Any one who thinks greater than the Presidential nominee should not
be the V.P. choice for the smooth running & to avoid infighting later.

Watch McCain lie, flip-flop and pander to his audiences. He (McBush McCain) has absolutely no vision for this country. McCain has no understanding of economics (he even admitted it) or issues that are important to the American people, like healthcare, education, and the environment. He only talks of war, bombing Iran, and tax breaks for large corporations and millionaires.
McCain should tell us about his involvement in the Keating Five, his hatred of 'gooks' and the Clintons, and his extra-maritial affairs and adultery. This man is a fraud.

Yea, obama stole all Hillary ideas, because he is clueless.

Half of the democratic voters voted for Clinton. When they say that they will not vote for Obama,but for Mccain,they are using the pretext of "inexperience" in this " dangerous times" as reasons not to vote for a black man.If they do so,they are voting for race, not for the issues.

Jack from Texas, and anyone else who thinks Barack coined a new word - "infinitesimal" has been around for a long, long time. I think I remember seeing it in the works of Isaac Newton, which puts it no later than the early eighteenth century. It might even be older than that.

I can just hear the bashers now saying that because Barack used a word someone else used before, he's a plagiarist.

They have a lot of the same views.

They can pull all their votes together & beat McCain, if he picks her for vice president.

Let's get together Democrats.

Obama/Hillary 08

Would someone please hire a linguistics consultant for McBush so they can understand words that have more than 6 letters or two sylables.

I think it's important for them to understand what Obama says.

For once Obama is correct. Both Obama and Clinton are socialists...so it's not a surprise that the differences are infinitesimal.

I sympathize with you Obama supporters who are trying really hard to get Clinton supporters on board. But, after all the vitriol and sexism spewed from his campaign and the media, it's too late. The dem supers betrayed Hillary so Obama will have to win this on his own as I can not in good conscience reward the DNC for their actions. Stealing that nomination was right out of the Republican playbook.

Being that what they both stand for is "Infinitesimal," Why not have her as VP, basically, they are on the same page. I don't think a little bit of the old will hurt the new, anyone he picks will be part of the old anyway, but no one other than Hillary will bring in the votes like she can.

Obama/Clinton 08

To Jack from Texas, I know the Texas education system must be in terrible shape with Republicans running that state for so long, but infinitesimal is not a made up word, just do a search, here is the definition:

Infinitesimals have been used to express the idea of objects so small that there is no way to see them or to measure them. For everyday life, an infinitesimal object is an object which is smaller than any possible measure. When used as an adjective in the vernacular, "infinitesimal" means extremely small, but not necessarily "infinitely small".

It doesn't matter. Many of us this year aren't voting for someone who is in line with us on "issues". This year its different. To some Clintonites, a vote for Obama would be a vote to condone sexism, disenfranchisment, disrespect, media bias, party elite bias. We aren't sheep. We aren't cattle. Obama was SELECTED, not ELECTED! If we allow all the above referenced horrid things that have happened over the past 17 months to go unnoticed and unpunished, then what do you think the future of elections will hold??!! We mind as well become the "Communist Party" if our decisions are going to be made for us and we are expected to fall in line. And I will NEVER condone media bias and sexism!! NEVER...NO WAY...NO OBAMA. This isn't about "stance on the issues".....this is about the future of the elections and the future of the Democratic Party (if there is such a thing).

He's somewhat correct. In terms of policy, yes, they were both Democrats through and through, and any differences were just nitpicking. In terms of personality though, in terms of the type of campaigns they were running and the type of personalities they have, there is a huge divide. Either way, policy should ultimately win out, for any intelligent voter. I hope any resentful Clinton supporters realize that not supporting a candidate who has more or less the same values as you do simply out of sore feelings is a terrible, terrible use of your vote.

Independent for Obama
June 10th, 2008 10:01 am ET

"Agreed. Also, could someone please explain to me why they think Obama is more liberal than Hillary?

His health care plan doesn't have mandates – making it less liberal. He doesn't want to freeze interest rates like she did (which would be a disaster by the way) – a less liberal stance.

I would really like to know why people think that he is somehow far left and she was a centrist…"

Simple, because "liberal" has become the new F-word mostly due to the efforts of right wing pundits, so to say that he is "more liberal" just means that the far right Republicans hate him more.

Seriously folks .. For those Hillary-or-die democrats among you who can't seem to reconcile this, thank your candidate for throwing the baby out with the bathwater in her desperate attempt to satisfy her (and bubba's) sense of entitlement to this nomination. The prime reason you all have this vitriol for Obama is because Hillary overcommitted her campaign to boiling those thoughts in you. The primaries are over. Take a deep breath, and TRY to look at Obama for what and who he is. There is a lot to like .. .. Then, take a long, hard look at McCain, and you'll feel it even more.

"There are two things you don’t want to see being made—sausage and legislation." -Otto von Bismark ... With that quote in mind, it seems to me that Hillary's personality and skill-set are best put to use in legislation, as a genuine leader of the party in the senate.

For all of you that think Obama is for change...THAT IS HIS RUNNING PLATFORM. Oddly, the exact same platform that Bush ran on. The exact same platform Kennedy ran on. So...not really change...just dusted off and reframed.

Senator Clinton has WORKED for change for 35 years. No one has earned the right of being nominated for VP more than Clinton. I recognize it is Obama's decision, but in spite of the Clinton haters, Clinton WON the states on the Electoral map that Obama will have to spend tremendous amounts of time, energy and money in. Money did not win him IN, OH, PA, WV, KY, SD, ARK.

If Obama is still this close in August with McCain...if he cannot pull out ahead of McCain...then he may need Clinton in order to win. YOU do want him to win, don't you? Or...maybe not.

This is NOT about who is most Popular, otherwise Clinton would be the one running against McCain. Gore had the popular vote in 2000. He lost.

The Electoral map with Clinton v McCain would have be 6 battleground states with only ONE needed to win, with Clinton ahead in 2 of the six.

Now it is 11 battleground states and McCain leads in FL, MI, MN, NV, NH, OH, PA. (Which would put him well over the number needed to win)

ARK, WV, KY have been taken off the map and moved to the Rep side, those states would have gone to Clinton.
The Republicans are very happy to be running against Obama. He has a better chance of beating Obama than he did Clinton.

The next few months will tell...but after going to the RNC website and reading the articles (ALL verified) about Obama and Rezko...wow...who knows what is going to happen. I don't think they will drop any bombs until after the Denver Convention.

I hope by "new language" CNN means language that Obama himself has not used in the past.

I also find it funny that some of the comments here try to criticize Obama for creating a word that "doesn't make sense".

"Infinitesimal" is a valid word. Obama did not create it. It is not a new word. It makes perfect sense if you understand the origin of the word.

McCain is down in the polls today and as the campaign goes on and the economy worsens selling the republican idea of tax cuts for the rich and corporations will not float. Trickle down economics doesn't work when companies ship jobs and factories over seas.

All I have to say is that Obama needs to quit riding Hillary's coat tails... I could care less how many times he states that his policies are exactly like hers....

The only policies that Obama has that are like Hillarys, are the ones that he has stolen.

A vote for McCain is a vote against Hussien

I don't care what he says...if she is not on the ticket.....he doesn't get my vote!

60% of us feel that way.

Obama has no plans that are workable for the Economy for Nothing Look at his issue record, He has no experiences! Hillary has the experience, But since shes out, McCain is the better Choice, and 17 million of the 18 million Clinton supporters will show that in November, and oh go ahead Obama supporters through up a draft and more war, what I see as a Person that served in the Army, maybe the Draft and having Obama and 2/3 of his supporters have to learn respect may be a great thing! Obama is a Joke on the Voters! and in November he will go away with his Fake agenda and we Can say Hello President McCain that at least is Patriotic and has experience! God Bless Hillary!

McCain2008 all the way

This is not what he was saying during Dem. Primaries. This guy is a chameleon and he will do anything and say anything to get to the Whitehouse.

I agree that on the war, BHO / HRC are very different from McCain, they're doves, he's a hawk. Economically, though, there is very little difference, all of them are big-government spenders.

McCain is basically the modern Lyndon Johnson, i.e. an economic liberal Hawk, and Obama is basically a McGovern, same ole liberal in a pretty package.

If you're sick of the Federal Gvernment invading all facets of your life, socially and economically, there is only one alternative: Libertarian.

Barr / Root '08

Dear Senator Clinton:

I was a modest contributor to your campaign and I am finding it very hard to support Barak Obama, in fact, I can not. I believe if I do not know him by now, I never will. I am a 59-year-old woman and I believe I can only trust you as a presidential candidate; I know who you and your husband are. I believe your husband’s years in office were some of the best and I find it very unsettling that Mr. Obama and his campaign, most of which worked for your husband’s campaign, found the need to diminish that period (like a marriage, I am fully aware that no administration is perfect).

Mr. Obama has too many friends that are too far to the left and any denunciation of that appears politically expedient; for the first time I will not vote in the general election and I have never done this before. I send this message only to let you know that I will support you until there is a new president elected. All the pundits in the world, including the recent interview that I saw on CNN with Gloria Steinem who believe women will come to support him does not understand your supporters. I am an independent and have voted for Democrats most of the time. I find the message of Barak Obama depressing. I found yours uplifting; you saw the American people as hard-working and resourceful, which they are. I am college educated with a post-baccalaureate degree and understand the consequences of this election but am willing to see 4 more years with a Republican. It will go by fast.

In addition, I am very disappointed in the Congress and their support of you. Speaker of the House Pelosi and other senators, i.e., the Kennedy contingency (they should have stayed out of the race), who supported Mr. Obama were not listing to the American voter. Your election was stolen due to the DNC’s inability to require a re-vote in Florida and Michigan. Had that revote taken place at a critical and strategical time when the necessary momentum was needed, you would now be the presumptive Democratic candidate.

Thank you for running an exceptional race and I will continue to be a supporter of you and your husband.

Ok people – "infinitesimal," in contrast to what you apparently think, is not a *NEW* word or a word that Obama created, they are just saying in the article that Obama is describing the difference between himself and Clinton in a new way. Sheesh!

People claiming Clinton in 2012 are delusional. If Obama loses this election in November it will be the albatross hung around her neck forever. She will be seen as the Democrat that said the Republican was better than the Democratic front runner. Not to mention the MAJORITY of Democrats that see her as the spoiler. Face the facts, she could not win without Obama supporters anymore than he can without Clinton supporters, it's a two way street.

I am tired of people talking about experience. Chaney and Rumsfeld had more experience than anyone and look where it got us. New ideas and approaches are what is needed not the same old things that years of experience bring. Judgment and careful consideration are what is needed and bringing together the people who can do the analysis and put a plan together and deliver on the plan. The last 7+ years we have not had that. If you look at the campaigns that just finished, it is obvious that Obama was able to bring a team together that could develop a winning pan and execute it without going into debt. With all of her experience, Hillary could not. We need a new way of looking at things and new ways of approaching things. Decades of experience just teaches you how to do the same thing over and over again.

I agree, the differences within the democratic party are tiny, mere paths to get to the same goal. On the other hand, the differences between McCain and Obama should make for some interesting debate. It is time the US decide whether to move foward with Obama or continue the same old with McCain.

here come all the fake HRC supporters...you are GOP backers

WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

gop is terrified of dems this yr!

Cut it out Barrack....I am a Republican who has actively contributed to your campaign...you are what we need now....the differences between you and Clinton were clear in the debates....she's a liar....you are not...she likes to talk tough and threaten...you want a different approach...you are what we need now....she is not. I do NOT side with your policies...but like many Republicans....and Independents....we do want a change in direction....I am not one of the Hillary supporters...who actually side with liberal policies who state they will vote for McCain....but if you add Hillary as the VP....you lost me....and many others....please think...you have to know you are NOT the same

For those that hate Sen. Obama; What has he done that is so repulsive too you? are you saying the he cheated to win or something? Someone please answer.

Thanks

correction to my previous post... It should be "For all those Clinton supporters who are saying they'll never vote Obama… if they DON'T and the Democrats lose the general election to McCain,..."

IF the differences where so little then give her the VP. this will hold the party together and keep 18mill + who voted for her happy inclining my self we as dem can't have 1/2 not vote for McCain or stay home . Yes polls have Obama a head but we all know it comes down to how the states vote . This is just one vet tired of war and the hop it doesint go on for1,000 years.

Obama will win because there are not enough "I will not vote for Obama" Hillary supporters to outweigh those he will draw away from other sectors. Hillary will be involved in the admin however I suspect she will be better as a cabinet post or senate leader.

Richardson – yes for VP
Edwards – yes for AG
Webb – yes for National Sec Advisor
the list goes on of talented people Obama will bring to his presidency.

hahahaha James. I had forgotten the lame "change you can xerox" line. Thanks for the chuckle.

Out of curiosity, why would Hillary want the vp job? Couldn't she accomplish a lot more as the senate majority leader? If its a choice between her and Harry Reid, I would be just ok with the idea of throwing him under the bus. Heck, I'd drive it. Hillary is a warrior and thats what the congress needs; someone to drive an agenda and get things done! Look at what's going on now–we are paying $4/gallon in gas, the economy is in the toilet and the congress is scheduling hearings with McClellan. Are you serious? Do we need more proof that Bush and clan are lying war criminals? We need someone to take charge and bash some heads in the senate Can anyone think of anyone better?

Obama-Powell '08 !!

Colin Powell is really a liberal republican anyway!
(closet democrat)
He's disgruntled with the administration that put him out to dry !!

Everybody here is in denial about the war..He cant end it..When he talks with Israel and other nations, they will let him know he cant leave..We are there for awhile. At least McCain is telling the truth..We will be there for awhile and hopefully out by 2012..To top that off, we will always have a prescence just like Germany..We need to be very realistic..We were forced there now we have swallow and allow them to be there until they need to be there..What do you tell the families of the soldiers that have died..Sorry but they died in vain..McCain is trying to not let this place be like Vietnam.

to all the people posting: "McCain '08 for Clinton '12"

As a die-hard Hillary-fan: I think you have pretty much exposed yourself as not being Democrats.
Anyone who thinks the country can endure another 4 years of what we've been having is not really paying attention.
If you don't vote for Obama then you are basically voting against everything Hillary was running for.

Change Change Change he exclaims! Now I'm just like Hillary.

Just more Obama hypocrisy! Go frolic with the Kennedys again! Talk about OLD!

I see he's wearing the flag pin now! What a big FAKE!

Please give the VP spot to that fat load Richardson. Hillary needs to stay FAR away from this mess. I can't wait until he has to throw his wife under the bus for her comments!

How come again nobody is asking Obama about Donald Young?

McCain 08
Hillary 12

Dear Reader,

My Name is Peter Fick, and I had a revelation last night:

In order to get out the speculation in the oil market, why doesn't Congress declare a "week off of work" holiday (where noone is allowed to lose their job over it)? Shut down the gas stations, have americans stay at home (just for a week), close the airports and transportation, and have just the emergency response vehicles operating. This might be a pain to American, but it will dump our daily oil use (times 7) into the market, which is way more than were saving by not filling the strategic reserves.

If this was even threatened by Congress, speculation would be drastically reduced (under $100 a barrel). If it was put into play, oil will be $60 a barrel or less. This is stand up or shut up time, and we would really get to see how effective Congress really is, what the President is really up to, how fast speculators run, and how to get us back to the supply/demand fundamentals.

Oh Yea, Go Barack 2008!!!

The number of differences between Obama and Clinton can vary greatly, depending upon when the comparison was made.

Late last year, the differences were many because Hillary was clearly trying to position herself in the middle, since she thought she had the nomination in the bag. Once Obama became a force after Super Tuesday, she started shifting to the left in order to better compete with him. That's when she started to close the gap between then on various policies, playing the experience card. Unfortunately for her (and fortunate for the rest of us), it was too late.

Hillary and her followers set the womens movement back years.To vote solely on emotion and not the truth or the issues makes me glad she lost.

Pandering to her constituency? Some people will say anything to get elected. Sorry Obama, I'm not voting for you.

Duh...what a dud, the moron is about as prepared to be President of the United States as Alfred E. Newman!

Sure... differences were most in character. Well, race and gender too. It's sad that the US is still discussing whether Obama is biracial or black (at least CNN is). CNN says it's a step in the right direction that the discussion is occuring at all. If it is, "infinitesimal" would also be appropriate.

For all those Clinton supporters who are saying they'll never vote Obama... if they do and the Democrats lose the general election to McCain, Clinton will be widely blamed for that. With some reason, lher campaign was very divisive. Maybe she felt that was necessary as she wanted so much to win. However, let bygones be bygones, that part of the campaign is over and Obama is the nominee. And the nomination wasn't stolen from Hillary. It was hers to lose and she lost it. It happens and bitterness is not the best way forward.

A lot of you guys are so hypocritical. You say you want hillary voters in one breath, belittle in the next breath and then say we are stupid if we vote for mccain, and then turn around and say you cant vote for obama if he picks hillary. Then you guys are doing just what you are accusing hillary democrats of doing.

Heck picking Hillary as his VP will be the only move he makes to add a tiny bit of experience to his ticket. Even though she only has his experience beat by a few years. I'm sorry neither of them will make a good leader of the free world. And I know the Dems think McCain isn't a mirror of Bush but that just goes to show that the Dems have no clue about Washington.

People, people: You obviously have access to the internet (or internets, for you Repubs). With less effort that it took you to complain about the "new word" could have learned that according to Merriam-Webster on line, the "new" word "Infinitesimal," as in "immeasurably or incalculably small " has only been around since 1710. Where did you people go to school? Midland TX?

Calling McCain "McBush" is ignorant. It's OK to hate Bush or even Republicans but lumping McCain in with Bush compares to others calling Obama a Muslim because of his name & upbringing, or USA-hater because of his what his wife said or because Reverend Wright – it's kneejerk party bias glossing over the real facts.

to make this a better world to live in and to get rid of this war is to get hillary for vp on the ticket with oboma

ernestine

Both are democrats. so the difference should be minimal but she lacks charisma. That is the big difference. Obama has a good voice, good vision and a good oratory power.In terms of policies, democrats are mor or less the same.

I am a Hillary fan...but regardless of Obama's win, I still think he should ask her to be part of his "team" push against the Republicans! Bush and his team have had enough time in office to "cock things up," so regardless of McCain's differences to Bush...I'm voting Democratic this term!!!

Easy to see why some of you are voting for Obama, when you seem impressed by him using a word you can't even pronounce or don't know what it means. "Infinitesimal"

It's easy to see that McCain will be a clean sweep this fall, since all of the Obama supporters will still be in Junior High.

Independent for Obama:

Obama is way more liberal than Hillary.... I just want to know how Obama is going to pay for all his new big govt plans...

1. Health care for everyone, of course except college students, because everyone knows you don't get sick in college.
2. Let's pay for everyone's college education, but ignore the fact that we can't even graduate a decent amount of people from high school
3. Let's cut another tax rebate before we even see what kind of effect the one we just got has on the economy...

Obama is pander... pander... pander... the feel good nominee.

Still for Hillary.... Can't we get someone in there that has to manage the govt's money the same way I have to manage my money?

Grow up all you little Obamabots... What's going to be funny is when Obama is elected and you get out of college and can't pay back your student loans!!!!

Then, we moderate dems will get the last laugh...

Hillary could better serve in her Senatorial position to support both of their positions. The senate and the congress are where decisions will be voted on. GWB thinks he is a King or an Emperor and vetoed everything your Democratic Senators and Congress offered to try and correct the mess we are in. This is why we have been stalled.
We need Hillary there.

We know this already, vote Obama policy is the same vote as Clinton policy, but vote for McCain is the same vote for President Bush. the difference policy between Obama and Clinton is the, Health care plan, etc, we all know that both candidate cares for people, while in comparing with McCain that don't know what is going on with American people because we all remember that McCain mentor (President Bush) when he was ask about the gas price going up in summer for about $4 per gallon he said that he don't think that is true, well we all know that its true today. Can someone google story about McCain 1st wife please so that american will know how unreputable this man called McCain his.

Jack from Texas, infinitesimal means infinitely small

I agree. So let's all endeavor to forgive Senator Clinton and just move on...........PLEASEEEEEEE!

Jack from Texas : Sorry to cramp your style but grammar is not spelled "grammer".

Picking Clinton just to satisfy the so-called-feminists over Obama's core message of real change, will be a GALACTIC mistake.

Hillary had her 8 years of glory/infamy - time to get out of Obama's path and vision

I am not sure if HRC supporters who are still saying that they won't vote for Obama will only be hurting HRC for ANY future political aspirations. If she can't bring over the majority of her supporters to Obama, her political career is over. There will be no HRC in 2012 and no power in the senate for her.

Have you noticed that it's mostly guys who are pushing the McCain thing....I smell Republican shenanigans.....
Don't fall for it people!!!

obama can win without Clintonistas "sore losers" angry voters

they can lick their wounds and bruised ego by voting Mcbush

Barack has acted more 'experienced' than any of the candidates out there. He's run a brilliant campaign, had the sound judgement to not support this senseless war, was responsible already for ethics reform, did not fall for the gas tax holiday scam and now he has formed a committee to vet VP choices while mcwar voted for the war, proposed the flawed gas tax holiday, still has not picked a running mate and continues to blunder on the economy. Let's talk again about 'experience'...

Obama's supporters have been so divisive and attacking Clintons and their supporters viciously. Now you talk about unity. I guess that you need our support. But I will not support someone who has such a thin CV.

obama will learn it this time.You have to wait for your turn.I am a party official.I hate the fact that he just jumped in.Experience matters.
so we will elect a democrat in 2012.i am sitting this out although i wear a obama pin or else i am a racist.I tell everybody that you have to earn it.

Hillary for president as a write in............................Obama is cool however I'm not looking for someone cool to become my president.

gotta love the gop trolls posing as disgruntled hillary supporters threatening to vote for mcsame. it sure ain't 18 million as the vast majority would not have supported clinton and her ideals if they would vote against them at the drop of a hat. those that talk about disrespecting hillary must realize that nothing will disrespect her more than voting for a republican who opposes everything she's fought for.

but hey, thanks for playing. real dems aren't fooled.

He's right.

And for anyone who says you vote the person not the party for POTUS: you're wrong.

Look how much Bush and his party have affected our lives the past 7+ years.

would be Hillarious to see gdubya trying to say the word: infinitesimal

the look on his face will be priceless..............lol

The main difference between them is in personality, in terms of statesmanship and diplomatic skill. The opinion of which one is better than the other will vary based on which candidate one supported through the primary process.

Regardless, for anyone earning under 8 figures annually to vote for McCain, especially a Democrat, would be little more than an act of self-loathing. If you love yourself and your country, vote for Barack Obama. If you love George W. Bush's vision for America, then go ahead and vote for McCain.

The people who say a big NO to Hillary is either Republicans who know it would be a winning team no matter what or people who are voting for the first time this year beacuse they could have cared less about politics until this year, which happens to be a big majority of Obama voters.

Exactly! What bothers me is the diehard Clinton supporters don't seem to notice that!

Obama '08

.........and because of the lack of differences on policies and such, Barack should not seek HRC as VP. it would be wiser (and Barack is) to seek a VP that will round out his opposition to that joke of candidate, McCaine/Crutch/Walker........... Hillary is backing Obama I am Backing Obama!

i am a woman who supported both canidates obama more though hillary supporters you have to understand hillary was not treated bad i think obama was with the nasty rumors the fact that hes black the fact is hillary ran a bad campaign but i have to agree her policies are far more closer and match obamas where her and mccains are so different so for you to vote for mccain because you thought she was treated bad is crazy that is only going to make hillary lose again she wont be able to accomplish anything she is dem mccain is rep they disagree on everything even if hillary is not vp she will be somewhere in that cabinet she will have alot of input on something but if mccain wins she can only go back to senate and keep fighting the rep think about it a A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!

Wow – what a way with words. Is he really that naive to think that we Hillary supports will buy this bag of bullcrap??? Not me. and trust me, 5 months isn't long enough to make me change my mind about him – November is just around the corner. And another thing, it was a "remarkable day in history" that a black man was the DNC nominee.....now all of a sudden CNN hits the waves with a new "is he black or bi-racial"!!. What a crock!! He is the same now as he was then. And his color has nothing with the fact that intelligent, educated people just don't see where he has anything but trouble to bring to the US. He can't even give a speech on his own – has to wait 24 – 48 hours to give his "diciples" time to write it for him (or worse yet, his really proud wife). Wake up Dems before it's too late. He is NOT THE SAVIOR OR THE MESSIAH!!! Hillary, for your own good, distance yourself from him now or 2012 won't cut it for you either. and no, Will from NYC I am not a retard – just a former DEM who had a wake-up call and know that John McCain is now the only choice we have. You better wake up from your "Dream of Change" or be ready to pay for the mess you create.

People are blaming Bush for the price of gas. In the 1970's we had gas problems and no one, neither the President or Congress, did anything! This problem should have been resolved 30 years ago. They are all talk and NO action.

Use regular, everyday language! This is not gonna appeal to the people who are not elite! The differences on issues between you and John McCain may be great, but the character between you and him is even greater....YOU HAVE NONE!

Hillary/McCain '08!

Just don't pick her as VP

You will lose all credibility if she becomes part of the ticket.She was a blatant liar and her followers knew she was.

Does it matter if he is black or interacial, I feel as a white, if he can do the job then race shouldnt matter in this election.

All Democrats think the same we are united Democrats we are not republicans we use religion to lie to people. Look at the evangelical conservatives complaing to the Obama compaygne for using the name "Johsua Generation" which is different from "Generation johsua" that was used by the conservatives. I say Go obama use the name and save the young republicans from hell. Conseravative evangelicans are going to hell, think about it how can Haggee go to heaven it is not going to happen.

And still the hot news are about Clinton. When will future President Obama stand by himself?

TESAP...
History shows that all candidates take up to four months to step out of the race even with much wider margins. Hillary was forced to step down prematurely...
You bullies and your leader (along with the DNC) wanted her to step down after Iowa.

Disgraceful and very undemocratic...

Hillary supporters WILL NOT forget how this race was stolen.

UNITE and vote McCain '08 for Clinton '12

SHE VOTED FOR WAR
STOP LIEING FOR HER AND GET OVER IT.
YOU REPUBLCANS ARE FOOLING NO ONE

this is why it's going to hurt seeing HRCin republican attack ads tearing him down for the next 5 months

He is absolutely correct.
BOTH do not have a whit of experience in an Elective Executive position in their life. Both are Freshman senators with delusions of "saving the country through Government action".

That makes both of them equally spooky...

SO he is trying to ride the Hillary wave. He just doesn't get it that Hillary is a giant compared to him and we will never come over to his side. He is a loser and will lose the White house big time. Hillary would not have lost.
He limped to the end of the primarys and he will limp to the end of the GE but not cross the finish line.
This is a guy who "can't finish"
Enough said – vote McCain 08

I like it.....he is a political rock star....coming up with new language just like you would if you were some new rock band or rap star.....this guy is really great for America. We need some one that is going to bring this nation together in the White House. Some one who is young enough to understand the young generation and its battles and someone who can understand the older persons needs and wants of this country. I really believe we have a great President in Sen. Obama. This generation is ready for change and we are tired of the ways of the past.... just as technology evolved and many other things we must see evolution in the White House as well so that we can stay the great country that we are.

So why are clintons idiot supporters doing? If they wont vote for him cause they dont know him how about they shut up and listen to him and read up about his past. Then make a decision!!!

I think McCain should choose his words carefully if he wants to make judgement a campaign issue. He has barked up a couple of the wrong trees already, like the gas tax.

His misleading words about how Sen. Obama "...didn't vote for Kyl-Lieberman bill...", which supported Israel. Obama didn't vote against it either. Truth be told, he did not vote at all on the bill because he was on the campaign trail. Truth be told, McCain didn't vote on the bill either because he, too, was on the campaign trail.

Obama should choose his words carefully with negative attacks, which can and will be percieved as bullying the older senator.

This is the truth. It is to bad there are so many serial haters out there.
I am sick to death of all the democrats who will back-stab the party just because they lost and of all the right-wing-dings posing as Hillary supporters only to stab Obama.
Why so much hate? I don't hate John McCain and neither does Obama.
You folks need to get a grip on reality and your lives!

Being selective again this morning CNN???? Just like the DNC!!!!!!!!!
Obama was selected...not elected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's absolutely correct .That supports my studies of bothof the candidates positions and issues. Which leads me to some of Sen. Clinton's supporters thereatening to vote for McCain. I cannot believe that her voters understand the issues at hand and HOW THE REPUBLICANS are just 'Exactly' the opposite of Hillary and Obama. McCain is in favor of more years in Iraq (with any causualities there may be), Against Pro-Choice, IN FAVOR of uncontrolled off-shore Trade Agreements that could hurt our Economy, and appointing CONSERVATIVE JUDGES TO THE SUPREME COURT. All of the above both Obama and Clinton agree CANNOT happen. My question is .............did these folks vote for Hillary because she was a women ??? Did they vote for her because she is not Black??? Are many of her 18 million supporters Republicans in disquise and were hoping to get her the nomination for an easier win in NOV ???? What gives ??? The Clinton vote is important ...but the right to vote is a priviledge that should not be used as a punishment for the rest of the country or used frivilously to STICK the rest of the country and SERVICEMEN with policies that are determental. Believe me there were two Groups of 18 million voters , one of which is OBAMA. Hillary can never win anything without us either. That would include anything in 2012 if we lose because of selfishness and immaturity by Sen Clinton's Supporters.

Well we are well on our way to change America; we need a president who is not controlled by the influence of lobbyists and Pac's.

John McCain is still taking funds from lobbyists and Pac's so he will be told and controlled by these groups and it will be business as usual in Washington with no change in sight.

John McCain says he doesn't like war but the real truth is he to have an agenda like George Bush on wars because of he McCain was a POW so now its pay back time if he is elected into office. More wars with the republicans and a great depression on the way if a republican is elected.

Barack Obama must be elected as president… 08!!!

NO, don't offer the VP position to Hillary,
Hillary needs to stay as far away from this creep as she can.

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

Yes, we all can tell that the differences between Clinton and Obama were minute but Hillary tried to make a mountain out of a mudhole; she also tried to make him out to be a punk. I think it's disgusting how she ran her campaign. Obviously, behind the scenes, Obama showed the superdelegates and her (Hillary) who the Big Kahuna really was/is. She has no choice but to concede. If she acts like a good little girl, she may get to play with Obama, but not until Obama says so.

McCain '08 with Democratic Congress
Clinton '12, '16
The difference is experience and in-depth understanding of the problems of everyday people and the necessary solutions to make change both in the short term and long term.

He is the biggest loser and wimp. How can anyone compare him to Hillary?

Just words? Yep, he's just words – and not even his own.

Change you can Xerox...

McCain '08 for Clinton '12

I don't claim to be an expert in grammer, but that doesn't make sense. Creating a word based off "infinite" suggests it goes on and on. I could see him creating the word finitesimal, which would use "finite" suggesting the differences have a definite end.

Then again, I am used to scratching my head with him. Maybe I'm just not "young" and "cool" anymore.

* Nader 2008 *

yeah, small differences, but don't put her on the ticket. it will be like knocking over a toxic waste drum in Midtown Manhattan.

Obama-Webb
or
Obama – Hagel

If he thinks we'er going to give him and the republicans another chance to mess things up again he's off his rocker.

Excellent, Senator Obama. That means your selection of Senator Clinton as your VEEP should be a no-brainer.

I hope to able to vote for both of you come November!

Way to go BOBO!!!
Hope HRC could also admit this and convey it to her supporters

if obama is addressing their policy differences, then he is correct. however, when one considers their style and philosophy, then the gap widens. add to this their personal appeal, then that divide extends to a chasm. more work will have to be done to attract those core clinton supporters.

Does this imply the beginging of laying the groundwork to justify Sen. Clinton as his VP?

Come on down "ladies", tell us how you are voting for McLAME once again...we haven't heard it before.

Looks like he's trying to sway those Clinton voters his way. Too bad it won't work!

Even more reason to put her as your V.P. Senator Obama. The 18 million of us who voted for Hillary Clinton are still upset and angry with how she has been treated throughout her presidential bid. We will not forget. If democrats are going to win the White House in November, it would be a smart move on your part, Senator Obama, to make this happen with Hillary on your ticket. At this point in time, that is the ONLY way I will vote for you in November. If she is not on the ticket, I am not sure what I will do then. Still pondering and still a Hillary Clinton supporter forever!!!!!!

infinitesimal... Everytime he talks I feel smarter! LOL!!!

Why did he say that? Is he trying to hint at something? Maybe Hillary as VP?

Before I was against it, but now it doesn't really matter. I thought the late night meeting on Friday between Obama and Clinton was romantic...Actually, if he does choose Hillary as his VP candidate, democrats will surely come together, maybe even closer than before...It would be like watching two fighting parents in a dysfunctional family kiss, make up and cook dinner together. It would be a democratic love fest.

barack! guilt is a wasted emotion. To select clinton as your running mate would be to negate that 'change' which you so eloquently articulated during your campaign! Most all of the problems we have in this country today are a result of the Moron's invasion and continued occupation of Iraq, where, on average, 2 americans a day are dying–although I realize you are a professional politician as is clinton, as you so often articulated, SHE DID VOTE FOR THE WAR

Agreed. Also, could someone please explain to me why they think Obama is more liberal than Hillary?

His health care plan doesn't have mandates – making it less liberal. He doesn't want to freeze interest rates like she did (which would be a disaster by the way) – a less liberal stance.

I would really like to know why people think that he is somehow far left and she was a centrist...

Some of her followers, on the other hand, have MAJOR PROBLEMS and would rather vote for endless war and a continuation of Dumbya's failed economic policies than vote for Obama...Sad!

The differences are not so tiny that Hillary supporters will vote for him, unless she is the VP if she wants to be.

Well heck... If that is the case she is the slam dunk pick for VP.

This may be true however they seem to be ok with voting against their own best interest just to prove a point. I hope they wake up soon.

See, Cliinton supporters, the fact supports it. Obama and Clinton agreed on the majority of their policies. So, can someone tell me again, why some of you want to vote for McCain? I'm really not understanding this. Someone, please help me. If McCain gets elected, can we blame it on you guys when gas hits $5 per gallon, or the minimum wage stays the same, or the foreclosure rates skyrocket, or a woman's right to choose is affected, or when the war lasts for another 100 years???? Can we blame this on you all?? Huh? Can we? Huh? Let's wake up, shake off the dust, and vote for the Democrat. The Republicans really have the U.S. in a tailspin.

Duh.

You are both communists. Something Republicans have been saying for a year and a half.

You are no different than the rest of the goose stepping democrats.

Change? I think not.

LOL! We’re not used to big words from the president… Go easy

Yet another lie coming from a man whose campaign is filled with false hope.

He's far left, and Clinton is on the center leaning left, just like McCain is on the center leaning right.

Clinton has far more in common with McCain than with Obama

The news media refuses to get it. There are voters like me that are simply not going to vote for Obama because of his inexperience in these dangerous times. It will not matter if Hillary is on the ticket with him or not. To ignore Hillary is going to cost many votes for many different reasons depending on the voter.

NO CLINTONS FOR VP

We want change, not Clintons

Instead of choosing to parse quotes into smaller, and smaller issues, why not cover a US Congressman who, for over four hours, read 35 Articles of Impeachment against President Bush into the Congressional record? Pretty big story to skip for something so "infinitesimal."

Way to go Bam! Tell them the truth! This is another reason why Hillary should not be on the ticket! Plus – they are both senators!

OBAMA/BILL RICHARDSON 2008!!

Put BILL on the TICKET!

It's true. In terms of the substantive issues, which is what really matters (not gaffs or misstatements), they are practically of the same breed.

I need to watch CNN to actually hear how to pronounced that word because I almost bit my tongue trying to say it out loud. LOL!

A new word....... Call Webster's... Only one small difference... he is gracious enough to admit defeat and compliment his opponent... she is not, she needed some time..... ????? not sure why???????????

Everyone from George Will to Keith Olberman agrees that the only substantial difference is on health care, where they are still closer in policy proposal than either is to McCain's policies.

Unity '08

That might be right OBAMA, but picking HILLARY for Running mate will be a BIG mistake! You need BILL RICHARDSON! He is as sincere and caring as you are! DO NOT fall into Hillarys plan B of reaching the WHITEHOUSE. OBAMA it is not about helping you, it is about helping herself to run in 2012 and to write herself into history. Think about it.

He's Right ,we must defeat McBush

This what I have been saying all along to my friends and family. The pick between Clinton and Obama was based on things that had nothing to do with the real issues that keep and take money out of your wallet. That is why I think it would be crazy for Clinton lovers to vote for McCain.
