(CNN) - A new poll out Wednesday suggests Barack Obama is picking up support among older female voters, a demographic that largely voted for Hillary Clinton in the prolonged Democratic primary race.
The findings could be a sign the Illinois senator is making significant strides among that bloc of voters, who had been fiercely loyal to Clinton and potentially ambivalent about supporting Obama in the general election.
WATCH Analysis of why Clinton supporters are moving toward Obama
According the new survey out by Gallup, Obama now holds a 6 point lead over McCain among women over 50 nationwide, 47 to 41 percent. That compares to a 3 point lead (46 to 43 percent) McCain held over Obama in a similar poll taken last week just days before Hillary Clinton conceded the nomination.
WATCH Clinton urge her supporters to back Obama
Extended to all female voters, Obama now holds a 13 point lead over McCain, up 8 points from this time last week.
Eight days after the Democratic nomination officially came to an end, Alan Silverleib, CNN Senior Political Researcher, said the poll provides "solid evidence that the wounds of the Democrats’ long primary season are already starting to heal."
“Obama will need most of Clinton’s women supporters to beat McCain in November," Silverleib said. "Fortunately for Obama, many of these supporters are apparently rallying to his side.”

Please no more republican
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the onslaught of unintelligent, bitter Hillary supporters saying they will never vote for Obama and are switching their votes to a candidate who does not stand on their issues with them – McCain.
Vote for your future, vote Obama.
Wonderful news!
Obama/Clinton '08!
And yesterday, a news report stated that three million Clinton supporters had vowed not to vote for Obama. I am over 50 and so are my friendds and none of us will vote for him. He is a loser to us. He lies.
NO WAY...............I don't believe what CNN says they are just saying this to stir up trouble again AS THEY HAVE FROM DAY ONE. All the blogs I have been on say different. There are WWWWWAAAAAYYYY too many dems that don't and will never support Obama.
STOP IT CNN. YOU LIE NOW AND HAVE LIED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PRIMARIES.
He doesn't have our vote yet. These polls are often misleading!
We knew this anyways despite reporters and pundits saying we could never unite....Welcome Aboard Hillary supporter!
So much for Rush's dittoheads-in-disguise! We will crush McSame before he has a chance to veto beer and leave the troops in Iraq for another 50 years...
Outstanding! I am so happy that we are starting to come together as a family. I wholeheartedly embrace ALL members of our family and look forward to utilizing all of our resources to garner an OVERWHELMING democratic victory in November! We are FAMILY–I got all my fellow DEMS & ME!!!
: ) hilary supporters great for you to help out to win in november
appreciate it
This can't be good news for CNN...what ever will Campbell Brown discuss if there is no more evidence of a riff in the Democratic party?
There are two kinds of Republicans: millionaires and suckers.
Hillary supporters will keep coming on board, especially after Obama either names her VP, or gives her something else extremely important to do, like being our Health Care Czar, or Secretary of State.
WELCOME ABOARD. TOGETHER WE WILL BEAT MCCAIN: End the War
· Universal Healthcare
· Turn the Economy Around
· Fight the Greenhouse Effect
· Ensure a Women’s Right to Choose
@Mary...stop posting as a Hillary/McCain supporter what over 50 woman says things like "He is a loser" ....ROFL
I'm sooooo glad Obama will be our next President !
He's like a breath of fresh air with telling the truth and no baggage.
Obama is the ONLY one who will be able to fix our country.
Well I dont read too much into polls. The only polling that is going to matter is when we elect our next President in November. I really hope it's Obama because we cannot let McCain in there.
The reason why he is picking up women voters who use to support Hillary is because the economy is not getting any better. They just showed if you filed your taxes under one of the two candidates, the little people making less then 100,000 dollars would do very good compared to under McCain where you will get almost nothing. They also know that McCain is working on getting Roe v Wade overturned. They also know that this war in Iraq is not getting us anywhere and we want to put food on our table for our kids. The Republicans say that Obama wants to madate health insurance for kids, but how much have we paid to the insurance companies for our children to see a doctor.
Great!!
It looks like Hillary delivered!!
Love Hillary–She always delivers big!
DREAM ON.
They sure didn't poll me! And I'd love to hear what they asked. Because if they ask "Are you planning to vote for McCain" and attributing a "No" answer to that question as a "Yes" to Obama, guess again.
BTW – There ARE other candidates you know!
Also – the nom isn't formal until after the convention....
This just shows that there aren't as many idiots as I thought in this world. For awhile I was worried some childish sore losers were going to try and make my children's lives more difficult for no good reason.
It's the economy, the war and other impending issues that can no longer be ignored, stupid. Unfortunately, McSame is so out of touch and disconnected he couldn't feel our pain or the nation's need for relief if it was force-fed to him.
Mary...I'm sure at 50 you and your friends would love to help aid in the disaster of OUR party but thankfully there are MANY MORE sensible women in this country who won't allow shallow hang-ups stop OUR party. And PLEASE don't get me started on LIES and the Clinton's...you don't even want to open that can of worms "sweetie"
Obama '08!
I'm over 50 and I'm voting for Obama.
This is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This news just made my DAY
Democratic women supporters are smart. Once they all realize that supporting McCain is a vote for anti-women, everything will fall into place.
Obama 08
Yes we can!!
President Barack Obama
Wow, this story will drag in the RepubliTrolls.
Attention all operatives: Operation Chaos has failed. Switch immediately to Operation "McCain Is Not Bush" (codeword to follow). That is all, over and out.
DEAR MARY, THEY ALL LIE. WHAT TYPE OF CRITERIA IS THAT? Danny, Democrat from AZ LETS BE POSITIVE. THE MORE VOTES FOR OBAMA THE BETTER
Forgive them Lord for they do not know what they do.
Like sheep they are being led to slaughter.
GOD SAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Wakeup everything Anti Obama is not hill supports but REPUBICANS in disguise SPAMMING THIS BOARD!!
There are plenty of us that will switch over to Obama, fed up and tired of eight years of Bush, to compensate for any Democrat defection
This is encouraging. I am hoping, more Clinton supporters will get over grievances they have against Obama (false claims of lack of expereince that is actually covering deeper (color of skin possibly) issues as to why they refuse to vote for him.
I truly believe for the good of our party, we democrates will unite!
Thank you!!! my brother and sister Democrats. We are in desparate need of you. We NEED your strength, courage, and cooperation if we are going to have any hope of ridding ourselves of the current Regime.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU
DEMONSTRATE THE COURAGE OF YOUR CONVICTIONS
Of course! How can women vote for a man who voted against equal pay for women? And against choice? And against bringing our kids home? There was a mourning period but if John McCain thinks he can get sensible women to vote against our own best interest and our family’s best interest, he has another thing coming.
Because they aren't stupid, that's why. As much as they love Clinton, which is their right, they are not fooled by the repub agenda or non people agenda. They, as well as the rest of the country, cannot afford the repubs.
He lies? He's a politician. They all do... DUH. You're so stupid. Hillary lies too. She is a loser and, following your logic, none of your loser friends should have voted for her.
NO WAYYYYYYYYYY JOSE!! An empty suit, a guy who has NOT accomplished ANYTHING for this country, a guy who has been a Senator for 3 years and almost 2 of them have been campaining is NOT going to get my vote, my family, my church, my neighbors!! NO WAYYY CNN
Before we all get upset about all these supposed Hillary supporters claiming they'll never vote for Obama, ask yourself – how do you know who is really leaving these comments? These message boards do nothing to stop people from leaving repeated comments under different names, and they certainly can't tell who is really a registered Democrat and who isn't. My suspicion is that these are really GOP mischief makers. Well aware that their own candidate is awful and their party badly bruised, they are desperately hoping to divide the other side.
But guess what, folks? The polls don't lie. America has had enough of the GOP hypocrisy. The Democratic party will be united, and will wipe the floor with you come November.
IF HILLARY WON,I & ALL MY FRIENDS WOULD HAVE VOTED
FOR HER ALL DAY & INTO THE NIGHT. THAT WAS NOT EVEN
A QUESTION. I WAS NOT HAPPY FOR HER SUPPORT FOR
THE WAR, BUT MCMOULD IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF HIS MIND.
ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT WOULD DO AS WELL, ANY.
From a woman over 50, the more I see Obama, the less I like him. No, I haven't changed my mind. He just does not have experience. I don't like McCain either. I am truly, truly undecided for the first time in my adult life. If Obama selects Hillary (which I don't know why he is waiting to name who his VP will be), then I will probably vote for him – if he does not – he doesn't get my vote.
HE WILL BE LUCKY TO GET HILLARY'S VOTES!
HE SURE DOESN'T DESERVE THEM!
A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST HIM!
I AM ONE OF THEM!
LOL Just as I thought!
They didn't ask WHO the individual would vote for, they gave them two options – Obama or McCain. Not a true poll.
Keep dreaming Obamabots!
Everyone knows most Clinton voters will vote for Obama, even though some of them are still trying to imply (in a vague way) that she was treated unfairly without supplying any concrete proof.
The Clintons thought they were entitled!
Older woman know that it isn't a popularity test, it is about saving birth control, womans right, childrens healthcare...not just about having a woman in office. We know what we need in our country and I will be upset if women vote for Mccain vs the feelings. Becuase you feeling you can repair...your choices you can never get back.
HRC will be able to put some pressure over Obama so that he really "takes care" of what women need...'cause he just need them!!! he can't afford to loose on that point.
I also think that he should pick Mrs SEBELIUS as vice president ...THAT would deeply mean a REAL change he's claiming!!!!!!!!
If everybody in this blog claimed to be a Hillary supporter, there would still be 18 million Hillary supporters that have not commented here. So your comment does not matter in the grand scheme of things.
The real Democrats will support the Democratic candidates. The rest of you are Republicans (in case you don't know that already).
Obama/Clinton '08
Ladies over 50 - Please feel free to vote for Bush2 and suffer till you die. We deserve it.
Country first party second (name) and "Country first party second" i guess this was what Obama emphasised in his speech and last tuesday. So think to yourself does that hold true to you?
I guess you'd love your rights to be messed with (except you not a woman).
Good luck to you. Tell me what you think after 4 years of McShame of McFlipflopper.
Way to go Hillary supporters. I'm glad to hear that not so may of you were sour grapes and sore losers as some. A Democrat is a Democrat. Not to mention that Obama and Clinotn beleive in the same issues and in the ways to solve those issues.
Obama 2008. Democrats will take back this country!
Also, what's up with people blamming CNN for this outcome. They don't control Gallup. Geeze.
For the die hard Clinton supporters. I am not mad at you if you don't support or agree with Obama, that is your choice and your right. However, I am mad and disappointed if you tell me that you will NEVER vote for him and vote for McCain instead just to prove a point.
I can respect you more if you did not vote for a presidential candidate at all.
Look out Washington can you smell what is cookin!!!!
Bull! He doesn't have this Clinton supporter!
Do not think that that will last if he does not name her for VP It could evaporate in a minute if she is not a key player , namely VP. At this pt some women are honoring Hillsary's plea fpr Obama support and unity. don't blow it. she can help Obama in many ways.
Hillary Delivers and desevrs the nod.
The begining of the end for the Repugs. McSame is not electable. Never was – never will be. He knows it, and most of all, his base knows it. Watch the point spread grow in the polls between McSame and Obama, as to who people will be voting for. The gap will get bigger the closer we are to Nov, and then you will see a crushing defeat being delivered, that has not been seen since Reagan vaporized Carter in 80. This is going to be entertaining.
Uh, yeah, ya think? Any woman who says she will vote for McCain because she is so upset poor Hillary Clinton did not get nominated is just plain and outright dumber than dirt. It's akin to saying, since a woman did not get nominated, I will vote for the man who more against women's rights than any other candidate. I would certainly hope that women are not that stupid.
regardless of what the media wants us to believe, clinton supporters are not monolithic and can think for themselves
a lot of republicans and indies are leaning towards obama too
just wait until the debates start- mccain will be lucky if his own mother votes for him
Clinton supporters: Remember the issues! Vote for universal healthcare and ending the war, not McBush!
selected, not elected, pumapac.org.
This is very encouraging! Welcome, Hillary supporters. I respect your support of your former candidate and I respect your decision to now go with your second choice for the good of our nation.
dan the dem – did you read the article – your comment show your own lack of intelligence It said he is picking up votes from Hillary supporters. Before you start bashing people you might try reading the article. That is the problem with all the Obamabots -
OMG the spitful ones are starting to wise up?! Don;t tell them that we might be deamed as sexist, or anti-Hillary, or drinking some sort of Obama Kool-aide
I have faith what women will stop being ridiculous (they always do) and vote in their interest and not their bitterness. McCain is terrible.
We are not telling the truth in the polls to create that illusion.
The booth in Nov is a different story.
By the way do we have to understand that women who WON'T vote for Obama agree to send their kids to Iraq...I mean do they truly prefer to see more of their children get killed in that "war"???Come on ladies, you got to be kidding...LADIES!!!!!!!!!Come on!!!!!!!!!!! We're talking about your kids, your husband, your brotherr...i mean...
Just goes to show that most of these "If not Hillary then McCain" trolls in here have mostly just been Repugs in disguise.
Welcome Aboard:
With Open-Arms and a Heart-Warming Smile.
Obama '08
No way. They are on our side now my friend. McCain by a landslide. The light has come on for most Hillary supporters and they have no fear in voting the one who is right and that is John McCain. 1 Man 1Woman 4ever.
We are winning the war in Iraq and will do the same in Iran. Iran must go down and we will show the rest of the world that America is not to be messed with.
With a chance to replace 2 or more Supreme Court Justices we will have our best chance to overturn Roe V Wade.
Vote life vote McCain08
GOD BLESS AMERICA; GO OBAMA BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
Today, the Democrats in Congress AGAIN blocked efforts to expand domestic oil supplies. THANKS ALOT DEMOCRATS.
I think I'll wait until Nov before I start believing any of these polls.
They have not been correct all primary season.
When you listen to John McCain, you know that he isn't the person who should be leading this country. I see an older version of Bush. McCain is sexist, arrogant and mean-spirited.
I WOULD RATHER VOTE FOR THE JANITOR AT OUR
OFFICE THAN FOR MCMOULD OR ANY REPUBLICAN,
OTHER THAN MAYBE RON POUL. IF HILLARY HAD WON
THE NOMINATION, I WOULD STAND ON LINE FOR DAYS
TO VOTE FOR HER, BEFORE VOTING FOR MCBIGOT.
There is a silent majority that won't vote for Obama. Why?
There is a feeling he was handpicked to win the nomination. He had full support from the democratic network, their fundraising capability and the DNC. Superdelegates were lined up to shut Hillary's campaign down. No secret, they were asked to do so openly.
Hillary was not treated fairly, by the media and the activist left of the party. So much disrespect from the party for all her hard work, and I feel there's more to come.
Now, it is being said he is winning over her supporters.
If he is, then he certainly didn't have to work too hard to get them.
Pity.
THANK GOD UP ABOVE FOR THIS MOST POSITIVE NEWS!
TOGETHER, YES WE CAN!
GO DEMS...............WE ARE TRULY MORE POWERFUL IN NUMBERS!
I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain.
Together we can:
1) help reverse Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal – let's stop the murder of unborn babies!
2) stop gays from getting married – let's get a constitutional amendment to stop gay marriage and let them know they are not normal!
3) keep fighting the good fight in Iraq for as long as it takes – remember 9/11 and what we are fighting for!
4) get ready to invade Iran – we know they are planning to nuke us – let's get them first! McCain will make sure we do!
Good to see democrats finally waking up and becoming more conservative!
Every time someone says they will not vote for Obama we are accused of some sort of race issue which is baloney. I am tired of the race issue flag being thrown up everytime someone has a reason they will not vote for him. Experience – Obama does not have enough. He was a Community Organizer – and does that make you qualified. he was a State senator for a couple of years who voted present over 120 times – make a choice. He is a U.S. Senator who for 2 years has been away from the senate campaigning. Tell me how that gives him experience and/or the qualifications to be President of U.S. I think I may just write in HIllary's name and not vote for either other candidate.
Obama will win in November.
WELCOME- 8 years of Obama and next it's going to be 8 years of Hillary!!!!! Obama supporter will be behind you Hillary for your 8 years next! We need you and you need us lets show them Dems. A wonderful 16 full years for Dems to put this country back on track!
Regardless if whats been said Dems are in the spot light let keep it there our hope have been dim for so long.
Any Democrat with half a brain will vote for Obama over an honorable has-been who gets more Bush-like every day. To do anything else smacks of Clinton cultism.
Spot on Kevin. I'd say it again, but you already did.
If you like the results, trust this poll.
If you don't like the results, wait a week or so.
That is about as accurate and dependable as these polls have been.
Delighted to UNITE!! McCain is not a friend to women. He not only wants to over-turn Roe v. Wade, but has treated both wives badly. Listen to Barbara Boxer talk about how McCain has never voted for women's issues. Also, despite what McCain says about climate change, he still wants to drill for more oil and give breaks to the oil companies. NOT the path we can believe in.
Obama treats his wife like a queen, and understands the plight of women – starting with his single mother's healthcare and social issues. You don't get to be president of the Harvard Law Review if you are an "empty suit".
You call 3 pts as picking up? I don't think so.
Danny, bitter Hillary supporters don't support Obama is because of Michelle Obama. In case you don't know, Obama team is investigating the hatred comments Michelle Obama made about white people. If she didn't say anything, the campaign didn't need to investigate. You can denounce a pastor, but how does he denounce his wife!? No one wants a first lady like this. What does it say about Barack Obama? He is a politician. Superficially he looks good, what's hidden is for your imagination.
Hi all i'm a Obama supporter.
In 2016 i will vote for Hillary.
Obama 2008 Hillary 2016
The stakes are too high....
Twice, I predicted Bush would win (barely). Obama has this one and it will be decisive. By November the costly war will still be raging and the economy will be in the tank with $5-plus per gallon gas. NO presidential incumbent has won in that similar situation and McCain is most certainly a quasi incumbent.
Don't believe it...
country before party...vote MCain
Thank you Hillary supporters. We just can't afford another day let alone 4 more years of what has been a tragedy for our nation. I really hope Obama gives Hillary full control over health care, or appoints her to the Supreme court. We need a person like her to argue for the common person in the Supreme court. Thanks again Hillary for getting behind Obama after the very long and tuff race. Thanks again to all the Hillary supporters that are now helping to show up the republican thugs.
The question as to who has more elelctoral college votes, based on previous article, between Obama and Mc Cain is ridiculous. Wake media and superdelegates...isn't it that Hillary has the electoral college votes eversince that Democrats need to win in Nomember??? But you still voted for Obama???? Stupidity???
The VP search team for Obama is ridiculous! It is obvious that Democrats need to pick Hillary in order that Obama and Democrats can cement his win in Novemebr this early. So the VP team seach is ridiculous??? Stupidity.
RUSSEL HAMMOND.....
RIGHT ON, DUDE ! RIGHT ON!
I was a Hillary supporter but I'm now convinced even more to support Obama because I realize what's at stake – my life, my future, my livelihood!
DON'T BELIEVE THAT HILLARY'S VOTERS ARE DEFECTING TO MCCAIN. WE KNOW THAT OBAMA'S STANCE IS THE SAME AS HILLARY'S.
OLDER WISE WOMEN WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!
Good news. Let's put our problem aside and get the white house back!
That says something about McCain...
It does not say anything positive about Obama.
Obama hasn't "won" these women over... Women have no "good" choice anymore so they are picking from the 2 lousy choices that are left.
This is a sorry and sad time for democracy.
We are family, we are intelligent and that is why we are dems. We fought a good fight, now it is time to unite. We can unite because we are great thinkers. When we think hard, Mccain does not come up in the thoughts. He kinda like a nightmare.
"The good Lord brought us in so that he can bring us out".
USA – Dems – Obama '08
That's because the EWW! (Emotional Whiney Women) vote is not as strong as they tried to make themselves seem.
A few people repeatedly posting....There are 18 million of us who won't vote for Obama is just that...a few whiners. Clearly unintelligent and unaware of how the process really works.
Thank you to all you FINE Democrats.....it's obvious that your heart is truly with the party...
There will be lots of make believe Democrats on here that are actually republicans stirring the pot.
Welcome aboard to a fantastic trip to the Whitehouse.
Not all Clinton supporters are going to support Obama. Also, Obama does not have a chance if Hillary is not the VP candidate. If he does not go with Hillary, he might as well go with Pastor Wright
No me, I'm a woman over 50 and will not vote for him...unless Hillary is the VP. Obama has no experience, McCain is wishy washy so expect 4 more years of some kind of mess. Maybe not a Bush mess but believe me neither one of those candidates has what it takes to run this country. We are in deep trouble here, the cost of everything is spiraling out of control, everyday people cannot afford to live anymore so yes I am am concerned about the leadership of our country.
Thank you my sisters lets stick together. We fought to hard and long to let Hillary efforts go to the Republicans.
He defenetly will RESEIVE what he DESERVES: REGECTIN!!!
HWO DOES HE THINK HE WAS?? MANIPULATIVE PRIMADONA!!
Mary, you say Obama lies? When? Where?
What about your candidates claims of sniper fire? That wasn't a lie? The fact she says she's against NAFTA but yet attended pro NAFTA meetings while in the white house? That wasn't a lie? Said she helped with peace agreements in Ireland but was then told by Ireland she was of no help. That wasn't a lie?
And so it begins......
Obama is picking that demographic up by default.
HRC has ASKED us to support Obama.
We still prefer Hillary.
Great! These women are too smart to hold a grudge and lose sight of the important issues facing this country. Women are a powerful voting block. Hillary did us a favor by galvanizing women at the end of her campaign, and women will respond by making a thoughtful, intelligent, non-biased decision about the candidates!
Thank you Clinton Supporters – I know together we can take back the White House!
Vote the Issues 08!
Well, it didn't take too long for Hillary's supporters to get over her. Hillary who?
Sen. McCain Needs to stop trying to be John Wayne.
This Man Knows one thing only.
HE LOVES WAR!
Mr. Tough Guy McCain, ready to kill anyone who says boo.

Guess what, you're not undecided, you've already made your choice.
undecided, adj. 1. not decided or determined. 2. not having one's mind firmly made up; irresolute
THE TROUBLE FOR CLINTON SUPPORTERS WHO VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS THAT YOU WILL HAVE GIVEN YOUR VOTE FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. THEY WILL NOT RESPECT THAT AND WILL VOTE AGAINS YOUR ISSUES AFTER YOU PUT THEM IN POWER. YOU WILL BE TREADED BY THEM AS THE US IS BEING TREATED IN IRAQ. THEY DONT EVEN WANT US IN THERE COUNTRY AFTER WE HELPED THEM. AND THE REPUBLICANS WILL NOT WANT YOU IN THERE TENT ONCE YOU HAVE HELPED THEM. IF YOU THINK WE SCREWED YOU WAIT UNTIL YOU GET A TASTE OF THE "REPUBLICAN SHAFT".
When it comes to comments in here, remember.. the negative, nasty, and bitter babies will cry the very loudest. So, what you see here is NOT a sample of what you see everywhere in the USA.. it's just the big babies crying the loudest!!
Democratic 2008 (A vote for McCain is a vote for the death of a young American)
Not me – no way. . He only got an 8% increased after Hillary suspended her campaign. Out of 18 million votes, not much. When the real Obama and his skeletons comes out that will change. The polls will change daily until the election.
WE PREFERRED SENATOR OBAMA, BUT WE WOULD
VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, END OF STORY.
WE WANT TO START REBUILDING OUR NATION.
MCMOULD IS JUST OUT OF HIS EVERHATEFUL MIND.
Blogs do not represent average people - thank goodness.
Tejano, God is trying to save the United States. That's why he sent Obama. None are so blind as those who refuse to see.
My friends and I are lying to the pollsters.
That way they can't manipulate that demographic any longer.
We will tell you what we REALLY think, in Nov.
Welcome Hillary supporters! As a longtime Obama supporter, we are glad to have your support and maybe we can even get your girl on the ticket
Obama/Clinton 08!
That's because the EWW! vote isn't as strong as they tried to make it out to be.
It will be Dem all the way. Common sense will always prevail; America is not a country of idiots.
I want bush,mcbush,whomever to answer one question: WHAT ONE GOOD THING CAME OUT OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION??? JUST ONE????
Hillary supporter for Mccain for experience
GREAT.... let's defeat John McCain..... so we can take back OUR country...... I would LOVE to see Hillary on the Supreme Court, she would make an excellent justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama/Hagel
Obama would be the next president of the United States.
Peace , Prosperity and Respect and Dignity would once again be restored.
I cant wait to see the end of the Bush-McCain Economy, A new Day is coming to us in America.
Bring back the prosperity years of the 90's and more.
Vote for Peace, Vote for prosperity ,Vote for change.
OBAMA 08.
Not because of HIM...
But because of our feelings for HRC.
What happen Mary? Did they run you off the Redumblican blogs??
Let's put it this way, you don't have to like the guy. Heck, you could hate the very sight of him. But ask yourself this question: do you really want 4 more years of high gas prices, continued foreclosures, cuts in social security, cuts in heathcare, tax cuts that benefit folks who make over $250,000/year? If so, then go right ahead and vote for McSame.
selected, not elected, pumapac.org
vote no bama the man who did not want to have re votes in florida and michigan which was to be paid entirely by an outside source noBAMA all the way to the dnc where your vote does not count anyway
I am a republican who would vote for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, either one is better than John McCain. McCain is weak, I was shown that when he was in a Republican Debate and Ron Paul asked him a question on the economy and he couldn't even answer the question, he just rattled off names of Senators. I would vote republican if we had put up a better candidate. Also, I am a combat Marine veteran who states that Iraq is not our war to win. I vowed to defend the constitution of the US against all enemies foreign and domestic and Iraq did not do anything to the US to warrent a military strike. You see John McCain can't lose this war no matter how many lives are lost. He served in a war that was the first ever lost in US history and that was Vietnam, which should of never happened.
Yay! This is great. I know the republican troublemakers posing as HRC supporters won't like it, but I'm excited. I'm happy to know that people will vote the issues and not just have hurt feelings and then do something extreme, like vote for McBomb Iran.
The republican brand has been weighed in the balance and found wanting.......desperately!
While they profess to know God, Their prayers will go unheard.
You can expect landslides in red country and a landslide in November!
God bless your selfless hopes and aspirations!
Ok let's see how intelligent the Republicans are –
Here is their claim ( Per Tucker Bounds or should I say 'bonehead'):
"Jim Johnson's resignation raises serious questions about Barack Obama's judgment," said McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds Wednesday. By entrusting this process to a man who has now been forced to step down because of questionable loans, the American people have reason to question the judgment of a candidate who has shown he will only make the right call when under pressure from........"
Here is my response -
The President of the United States of America will be in a tough position and will find himself under a lot of PRESSURE many times. It is extremely important to make the RIGHT CALL UNDER PRESSURE. Even the republicans realize Obama is capable of it.... What they fail to realize it that the smart person will change course to get to the CORRECT outcome, but not Mcsane......So Reps you are actually crediting Obama because you are so backwards......
I personally know 2 diehard Clinton supporters who will now back Obama 100%. (My sister and neighbor).
They think those rabid "If not Clinton then McCain' women are being irrational.
Voting for McCain to spite Obama is wacky.
Listen to Hillary. She knows.
I believe when women find out that McSame wants to reverse their right to choose which they have fought so long and so hard for they will not vote for him. Remember he will be chosing the next 1-2 supreme court justices. That is HUGE so if you want to keep your rights ladies don't pick McSAme. He is clearly pandering for your votes and could care less after he get's them.
why does the report the overall poll? Could it be that Obama is losing? Wouldn't want to say that would we?
Obama needs to go ahead and announce Clinton as VP.
Welcome to the Obama socialist revolution. Hugo Chavez should be signing up soon. If Obama is elected, it will be at least entertaining to hear your whining about your increased tax bill and Department of Motor Vehicles Health Care Provider.
Obama supporters are even more naive than the candidate himself.
Obama will get about 2 million of the 18 million Supporters but thats it! and McCain will get about 12million of them and 4 million will not Vote or write in Hillary or Vote Independent, the DNC, and not listening to the Majority has Lost credibility under Dean and Obama will loose in November! and it Falls on the Shoulders of the Leadership and Obama and the Obamanites.
McCain 2008 and Hillary in 2012
What a spin zone. CNN is trying to save face and alter realities once again. The truth is that CLinton and Obama split the primaries even, and only a slim majority of superdelegates pushed him over the top. Its like Soviet politics– the party leaders install the new Premiere of the motherland.
So you Clinton Supporters, don't forget the BAN ON FACTIONS, and vote with the PARTY not against it!
Good for you ladies you are true democrats do not let Repulicans exploit us. Democrats will unite when it comes to beaten the false christians so called conseravatice Republicans.
Obama will not get my vote, he thinks of us as "typical white women". Guess what? He didn't misspeak!!!! He knew what he was saying.
Well, it just could get you killed these days -in the Obama ruled USA – to say that you are NOT voting for Obama.
So who knows if people are telling the truth anymore.
Barack Obama WILL be the next President.
Or your children and their children and their children's children will be paying off Bush's trillion dollar deficit for an unjust war and you will NOT get a single dime for your Social Security. MEDICARE/MEDICAID is bankrupt. You really think the GOP will do something about it? They had 8 years to do something about it. Get real and stick to the issues. If you vote GOP, you get what you asked for. (ignorance is not always bliss)
FYI: Barack Obama is against raising the age of Social Security. Thank you bc my father is working 12+ hr shifts on a bad back just to make sure he can live out his life with "RESPECT & DIGNITY." (words of Obama)
Mary,
You are republican ! we know, we are not stupid like you!
And this barely a week after Hillary dropped out. Change is coming. The whole world can smell it. This certainly is not good news to those still in grieving stage but it would be a
Well, Obama's not going to pick up this one! Wouldn't vote Obama for dog catcher! He's not even qualified for that.
Hillary got thrown under the bus. Obama was selected, not elected. I've lost all respect for the DNC and MSM.
No Abomination in the Presidency!
McCain – 2008
Only these hating Clinton supporters who only love her because she is a girl can see the benefit in voting against the democratic party which is pro female and minority rights, in order to help an anti female and minority right party. They sure do show their intelligence.
I'm stunned at how hostile some of these comments are. I'm Canadian and unfortunately I don't have a vote, but I'm doing all that I can to try to heal the rift with my American friends. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
Can we all just take a deep breah before we start typing ?
Kiah, I couldn't agree with you more.....lol
She is basically a Tabloid Journalist in disguise.
ALL THIS TALK ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS BEING
DIVIDED IS ANOTHER PLOY TO ELECT NATSO.
MCMOULD IS SO ANTI WOMAN'S INTERESTS,
IT SHOULD BE CRIMINAL.
Well, I think all those soccer moms are starting to wonder why their gas is over $4/gallon.
Or , more specific to women's issues
Obama has 90% approval for "womens issues" and 100% pro-choice.
Mccain has 15% approval for "womens issues" and 0% pro-choice.
Then, specific to McCain, Senator McCain
has vowed to appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court.
voted against reauthorizing the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) for five years.
voted against the restoration of the Fair Pay Act.
McCain voted to suspend the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993.
He voted to shut down the Title X family-planning program, which provides millions of women with health care services ranging from birth control to breast cancer screenings.
So, surprise, surprise. Not going to do well among this constituency because those Senator Clinton supporters, true supporters, know these are issues that she held very dear to her heart and while disappointed she didn't get the nomination don't want to see further erosion of female rights and opportunities.
Oh yeah, I'm a guy just keeping it real for the bloggers.
I was originally a John Edwards supporter and then a strong Hillary supporter. I will vote for Obama in November...not because I particularly like him (I don't!), but I'm a Democrat and if any Hillary supporters vote for McCain, then they are traitors to the other women in this country who believe in pro-choice. It's stupid to vote for 4 more years of this hell-hole that the republicans have brought upon us. McCain is just more of the same garbage. It would be wrong for the women who believe in Hillary's ideas to vote for the enemy of her ideas, McCain.
I am a Clinton supporter and will never vote for Obama. Clinton is the only one to bring any hope for this Country.
My friends it's time to change my depends!
I agree Campbell Brown is the most divisive of all CNN anchors. and Mike I'm with you Hillary has my vote in 2016. But OBAMA 2008 BABY Fist Pound to Everyone from yours truly.
CNN your blog has become a place for people to rant and rave about useless information. Very little now is meaningful. Many of your bloggers are agitators with the purpose saying anything to get a rise out of people. The same goes for Mr. Blitzer pure white noise.
Heck if you really don't like Obama, there is Bob Barr, Nader, maybe even Ron Paul. Anyone but McCain.
welcome, hillary supporters! both clinton and obama are such strong candidates, and they have such similar goals. not to mention that if obama is elected, clinton is sure to get a wonderful job where she can continue to do good for all of us.
together, by electing Obama, we can all pursue hillary's dreams of:
* universal healthcare
* women's rights and equal rights for all
* a stronger economy
* better education
GO OBAMA!
We are FAMILY–my brothers and my sisters and me, yes we are FAMILY! Welcome home my beloved sisters and brothers. Together, we can!
For Those Hillary supporters.
You voted for Hillary because you're demacrat,
but she got beattin by Obama
and in November you will vote for McCain.
That is no brainer, you are a racist!
If you are a true democratic, you will vote for your party no matter who is the nominee.
If all of these women over 50 had heard what McCain called his wife, they would never consider voting for McCain. McCain seems to me to be a misogynistic old man. He is a war monger, an exsoldier and the only thing he knows is war. All of Hillary's supporters should find out what McCain calls women. Then see how fast they can vote for Obama.
Thanks to Sherri, Sherry, Kiah, Alana, LaShanda, Pat, Abby, Lorreta, KJ and so many others saying positive things...
We can only do this together.
The supreme leader cometh.
The star is shining already in the skies
Competency +
Civility +
Centrist Policy +
Clear CONCISE Communication +
Cohesive Democratic Party =
a Winning Team in November 2008
It takes a while to come to ones senses and use logic instead of raw emotion.
Go ahead lie to yourselves. I am a bitter about Clinton losing but I am voting for McCain because he is in not delusional when it comes to politics in Washington DC.
Mary June 11th, 2008 4:45 pm ET
And yesterday, a news report stated that three million Clinton supporters had vowed not to vote for Obama. I am over 50 and so are my friendds and none of us will vote for him. He is a loser to us. He lies.
_______________
You mean like Hillary did about the Bosnian sniper fire? If you vote for McCain, you will have no right to be here in a couple of years complaining about how McCain has screwed up this country.
As the campaign goes on it will be well defined that McCain has never been a strong supporter of women's rights (against Roe v. Wade and Equal Pay just to name a few issues). I am hoping this will be enough to deter the Clinton supporters to support McCain.
Democrat Unite!!!!
Some Lady said that Obama will lose 3 million Clinton supporters. Many of those would have probably not voted democratic anway. 15 million is not shaggy. Together with our voters, that is looking good.
Kenneth, honestly, I was expecting more negative, bitter posts such as the one from Karen in FL. I am all for Hillary supporters sticking with Obama. I have never bashed her, or her campaign, and welcome all who are willing to switch their vote to Obama. It just saddens me that great news like these are hindered by comments about how Obama is sexist, does not deserve her supporters, and stole the election from her. People need to get over their prejudice and theories and wake up to the reality of what America really needs – Obama.
Start it up again...
Drip..........
Drip....................
Drip.................................
(No, that's NOT the sound of leaky Depends)
All of you worry me.
Glad to see that the important issues are driving decisions rather than personal frustrations, as understandable as they may be. I know Obama wasn't the first choice for many Democrats, but between Obama or McCain, bringing our troops home or letting them continue to die in Iraq, preserving Roe vs Wade or making abortion illegal, fixing the economy or letting it continue as it has been for the last 7 years, the choice is obvious. Obama is far preferable to McCain. And I'm someone who would've wholeheartedly supported McCain in 2000.
Welcome aboard. Let's unite and take our country back. Those of you who are still willing to vote against your interests, I hope my candidate, Obama, can prove to you that McCain is not in this country's best interest. We have an opportunity here to steer our country in the right direction, to repair our economy and bring this war to a close.
Where do you get your statistics? Hillary Clinton' s supporters have called over 680 people who voted for her and out of that number only three said they would even consider voting for Obama. It was either not voting at all or voting for Mcain.
mary can vote for mccain because aint no more babies coming from her womb, but what about your datughter, grand-daughters, and great-grand-daughters..
DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Media spin. i dont believe it. media campangan for Obama I am a Hillary support and Obama dont get my vote if Hillary not tickect
Your polls are way off. Clinton people will never support the party for what they did to her. They shot themselves in the foot. Guess is republican again!!!My vote included.
Not this Woman, not now not ever.
I cannot justify voting for an empty suit.
I never doubted for a minute that Clinton supporters would move to Obama – especially women. Look at McBushs record on womens issues and his 0 rating.
Americans aren't stupid, they know we can't afford john mcwar or another 4 yrs of ANY republican. We would be a third world country run by the oil companies and Haliburton (they are the company connected to the Bush's) that have the largest contract over in Iraq.
My dog is smarter than most dittoheads and he has less fleas.
Do us gay guys count as one of the women? If so here is another one!
Dems Unite!!! Obama 08! We have our nominee let the healing begin! Yes Hillary 2016 would be awesome!
Welcome aboard, ladies! You and your candidate fought a hard, tough battle. Pulling together, I know we'll win!
Obama, '08!
I am not sure where they are getting their information from but I am not lining up behind Obama but I am weighing my options now that Hillary is out of the race. I am one of those people who you really have to work at to get my vote. I think it would be fair to say that if Hillary had a major role in the administration, not just any role like super-campaigner but say VP or some very high level position that is going to stick around for 8 years then yes I would support Obama. At this point both candidates are intriguing and have their pluses and minuses. Good Luck to both campaigns.
looks like most new polls suggest that voters who preferred Clinton over Obama still vote for Obama over McCain. Actually in some of the polls Obama now does better against McCain than Hillary did. So much for "Hillary is the only one to beat McCain in November ..."
Good news! Hope this trend continues...
Boy is that a big fat lie! I don't know ANY female Hillary supporters over 50 that are voting for Obama.
MCCAIN 08 HILLARY 12
If Hillary still wanted to run as an independent, write in votes for her would be completely legitimate. Since she has put her support behind Obama for the general election, any votes for her are flying in the face of what she believes. If you thought enough of her to vote for her in the first place, perhaps you should respect her judgement in this matter. If Hillary is the leader you thought she was, let her lead you!
If for some reason (hopefully a rational one ) you think McCain would be a better president than Obama by all means vote for him. If it is just a question of bitterness or revenge, who is it you will be hurting with your vote?
I knew they would come to their senses.......now if Obama can just keep Biilyboy off the campaign trail...........things will go swimmingly!!!
OBAMA WONT GET THAT MANY. OBAMA WILL LOOSE IN NOV. FAIRANDSTRAIGHT. THEY STILL GOT TO VOTE ,IT WONT HAPPEN WITHOUT HRC ON THE TICKET. ALOT OF SKELETONS AND CORRUPT DEALS WILL COME OUT ON OBAMA. AMERICA WILL SEE HIM FOR WHAT HE REALLY IS.
Some Clinton supporters have brains after all and when they get over their candidate being such an evil loser, they'll all wise up and realize that a vote for McCain is a vote for the same. Same, tired politics and policies of the last 8 years.
Once women realize that he's gonna roll back Roe v. Wade, they'll side with Obama quicker than a hiccup.
GO OBAMA!!
Welcome to the winning team!
Bologna!
CLINTON PEOPLE KNOW HE INNER CITY THUGGED HIS WAY INTO THE NOMINATION! NO ONE EVEN VOTED FOR HIM BUT THE MEDIA MADE HIM SOUND LIKE THE WINNER! NOTICE SHE DID'T STOP HER CAMPAIGN! SHE IS THE RIGHTFUL WINNER!
WOMEN DON"T LET THIS THUG TAKE THE VICTORY FROM YOU
CHOOOSE McCAIN!
How can people jump from backing Hillary Clinton all the way to the other side of the world and back McCain? Not one of their policies is even remotely similar. With Obama, there are differences, but those differences aren't where they want to be, it's the method of getting there.
Dream on...
I have talked with everyone I know that was voting for Clinton and they are voting for McCain. So I am not sure who they are getting this information from. I think people know how bad the Obama people are and they are just saying this. I think the truth will come out in November. People are now afraid to say the truth because they will be labeled racist. We are not racist, we are about voting for the best person for the job. Race, sex, and age have nothing to do with it.
Hillary or McCain
blog.pumapac.org
I would like to hear exactly how a Pres. Obama would end the Iraq war without causing an even greater bloodbath than George Bush has caused already. It's going to be a very tricky thing to do.
I am a woman over 50 who has supported Obama since day 1. I would love to vote for a female for President - just as soon as one comes along who is qualified AND doesn't feel she's "entitled" to my vote and the presidency.
Those old women who supported hillary will move on and support Obama. Just takes time.
Those "supposed" women on here that say that they won't vote for Obama are obviously republicans. And I'm fine with that.
Just means that the GOP is that desperate that they have to "try" to hijack a blog with the comments. It's quite laughable, really.
I have news for you ("McCain is not my friend...) I'm 67 - and I SAY OBAMA is a loser! Ya see, the longer you live, the easier it is to spot a phony. And I also want to say to you - POUND SAND!
It is a long time before November. Things will change even more.
Most democrats will vote for a democrat when the time comes.
Plus, who really knows who is posting on all these websites.Especially the negative ones, they are on all kinds of websites over and over and I do believe lots are actuallt Republicans trying to stir things up
We democrats are smarter than that. We will unite and win the White House . Too much is at stake.
OBAMA 08
I'll say it again. If we had wanted a socialist empty suit president, we would have voted for Obama in the first place.
No thank you. No tu puede !!!
Don't vote for McCain. It is suicide.
Get inline Dems.
I don't buy the democrats for McBush thing. Even republicans are defecting.
Of course Obama will pick most Clinton supporters. HEALING TAKES TIME.. BUT WE WILL HEAL AND WE WILL UNITE... So if McCain plans on getting some votes there, he is death wrong. He should be happy if he can get 50% of his own Republican votes.
Obama's not getting my vote. A vote for him is a vote for politics as usual. Obama will say whatever he needs to sway whatever group he is speaking to that day.
I will write in Hillary Clinton and am indifferent if McCain does win now.
So many people think he will give her something important to do like "health care czar"..that is nothing...she is a United States Senator for the State of New York..I would be disappointed in her if she took anything other than V.P., as a matter of fact, I don't think she should take V.P. if it's offered...she is the one that should be the nominee, not Obama...you'll all see what a big mistake you made.
I am a obama supporter and will also vote hillary in 2016. Welcome aboard clinton supporters, and those unsure, just look at McCains rating from women groups, its a zero rating, while Obama has 100% rating. McCain is going to take women two step backwards (Roe v. Wade??)
As a female and life long Democrat, it baffles me that any of Hillary Clinton's supporters can possibly think of voting for McCain. If she had won the nomination, I would have voted for her in the general election, even though I did not in the primary. You can put a gun to my head, and I would not vote for McCain. As a woman, the idea is abhorant to me.
So glad to hear!!!! Welcome Hillary supporters. With the issues on the table this election, we can't afford to have McCain in office.
Go Obama!
OBAMABOTS HAVE NO BRAINS THEY OBEY WHAT THE SUPREAM COMMANDER SAYS. THEY MOSTLY HAVE JUNGLE FEVER!
NEVER OBAMA
VOTE MCCAIN OR WRITE IN HILLARY!
ITS THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW YOU ARE SMART AND STRONG AND LOVE AMERICA!
McCain does not know what going on in American I think he worrying what going in iraq we need a president who want to take care home first not Iraq I am tired of paying higher tax for this war.
President Obama 08
Democrats Unite! Vote for change.
Obamanation '08
YES WE CAN!
@Tejano, what side of the border are you blogging on? Because if you're blogging on this side, you better have your green card handy. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here, since we all know you love that bastion of paradise, Tijuana. With the drug cartels murdering innocent citizens and the water that's not fit for poison.
Inaccurate reporting! Do not get your hopes up koolaide drinkers.
However, it is not clear whether this is just a temporary rally in support for him upon clinching the nomination, or whether he will be able to sustain a high level of support from female voters for the duration of the campaign.
If Hillary is not on the ticket, then your empty suit loses!
All the cry-baby clinton ladies need to realize their candidate lost fair and square and lost only because of her self. Quit blaming everybody else for your candidate's inabilities - grow up and quit threatening to vote for somebody who's totally opposite of Obama and Clinton. If you want Iraq, if you want a crazy old man who will overturn Roe vs Wade and invade Iran go for it, but THINK before you act ladies.
Running Mate?
I predict that Obama will select someone from the military. He can't easily get a national level politician (congressman or senator) because nearly anyone he could select would have more experience than he has. It would be an awkward "tutor to the prince" role. Nothing to gain and a lot to lose. So it'll probably be someone from outside of politics.
NObama N'08
-OR-
O-Hope-a '08 / O-Change-a in '12
Of course there will be Hillary's supporters who will vote Obama. I believe in this poll: 60% will vote Obama, 20% will vote McCain, 20% will stay home.
Why is anyone surprised? I don't think Obama will miss the 50 or so women out there that swore they'd hang themselves if Obama was the nominee instead of Clinton. Most women are smarter than that. And the rest of those that blog that they will are republicans in disguise.
well, doh. I can't understand why anyone with any common sense at all would vote for McSame anyway. Ugh. Our economy sucks, we're fighting an endless war that has no purpose, and we're all suffering because of the Republicans not listening to the people (like they ever did to start with anyway).
Go Obama. I don't care who he gets for VP, he's got my vote.
Mayiru
Hillary and Barack Supporters!!!!!!!!!
============================
I knew that you guys could do this. Way to go folks, let's show McCain just how Democrats can pull together. I knew that you would not turn your back on Hillary's request, she is supporting Barack 100% now you are too! Congratulations!
Now we have to be really alert, watch out for the Republicans pretending to be Hillary supporters, making negative comments.
I think it would be a good idea, if both Hillary and Barack's supporters would post their comments showing their support for your Presumptive Democratic Nominee.
I just knew that you guys could work together, it just did not make sense for you to vote for McCain. Now if Hillary runs for President in the future, you know that she WILL get all of the Dem. support! Just keep posting positive comments, the only person you should be going after is John McCain! LET'S GO DEMOCRATS
CNN is trying to throw the deal for Obama just like they did for Clinton. Don't play into it.
We don't believe your polls CNN. We know how biased you are for Obama!!!!!!
Gosh, I hate this slicing and dicing of America, but as part of the "over 50 white woman" slice, I just wanted to comment that I'm delighted to see this progress for Democrats and ultimately for all of us as Americans.
Obama '08
It will take more then Gallup to make me believe that they are in Obamas corner anyway, and they have been the most wrong all election season thats why no one pays attention to them and they are trying to get it now ! gess
It's inevitable that the majority of Hillary supporters will vote for Obama in November. They were nearly identical with the issues that matter in this election. As always, there are hurt feelings, thoughts of betrayal and wrongdoing when ones supported candidate does not win, but those feelings subside, and the issues will prevail. For when that time comes, we will be able to celebrate change. It will be a wonderful day.
They need to redo the 3 am ad for McCain. First it should be the 3 pm ad, with the phone ringing waking him up from his afternoon nap. Then on his bedside (Bush's old bedside table) should be a number of buttons. Pushed already is the attack Iraq button. Beside it should be the attack Iran button and so on including countries like Britain and Canada. Also the nuke the planet button. Upon being surprisingly awoke McCain can panic reaching over hitting numerous of these buttons. Maybe he can hit the Canada button and it can be his press advisor on the phone, he can tell him or her to schedule a press conference so he can explain he had to attack Canada as Canada was threatening to send their dangerous beavers into the US.
After eight years of the fiasco Bush administration. How can anybody really be serious of switching their votes to John McCain? Obama in a landslide. Vote for who you want you Republicans posing as Hillary Democrats. Adios, Bush Chenney, Rove and all the other crooks that took this country and put egg on it's face.
He should pick a woman as running mate. It is time after all! And since it's apparently not necessary for any of this to actually make any sense...
Obama/Ferrera '08
I'm now NEVER going to vote for the man who used my own early willingness to vote for him (if HRC lost the nomination) as a weapon against my first choice candidate.
Yes... that's right. The Early polls all showed that the haters for Obama were dead set against HRC. The HRC supporters were more openminded and said they would go with Obama if he were the nominee.
Then Obama took that as a means to gloat and brag and falsely declare that HE could win back HER voters, but not the other way around. I think that was a manipulative lie. Why would that be? In reality, the Obama supporters have more to lose with a McCain win.
So now many of us will never vote for such a dirty politician.
Wonderful! That's exactly what Sen. Clinton asked her supporters to do. We respect her wish!
Poor USA June 11th, 2008 5:00 pm ET
That says something about McCain…
It does not say anything positive about Obama.
Obama hasn't "won" these women over… Women have no "good" choice anymore so they are picking from the 2 lousy choices that are left.
This is a sorry and sad time for democracy.
---–
Um, don't think so. I have a good choice and its Barack Obama.
He's been my choice for awhile now and I won't waver on that.
I believe there are plenty of other woman who will say that.
I'm sorry but you folks that aren't happy are just gonna have to move on and vote for the candidate that will lead this country out of the mess we're in.
Obama 08 12
This is because these women understand that McCain is the exact opposite of Hillary Clinton. Obama and Clinton share 98% of the same policies and agenda for the future of this country. There is too much at stake in this election to let McCain push forward his old agenda.
I think that we should be able to look at the marriage and family life of the candidate and judge for ourselves if that falls in line with our beliefs. I believe in a nuclear marriage and lean towards what I see in the family life of Obama. He also has a strong outspoken woman. Something that people like about Hillary Clinton.
I see Cindy McCain taking an un-interested back seat to what is going on in our country. She also got involved with McCain while he was still married to his first wife. I don't look to highly at the heiress.
DEMS 08
obama is like a cattle dog. nipping at your legs and barking leading you to a cliff. the Kenya citizen will not get my vote.
Here we go there are Republicans posing as Democrats in here to try and keep the party split, please read post carefully and make up your own mind. The people that say millions of Clintons supporters won't support Obama are hoping to get McCain in the white house and are voting Republican anyway.
Thanks for being good sports! OBAMA '08!
I really think most of the so called dems who put Obama down on this blog are actually recruits of the old silly moron republican Rush Limabaugh
82% of Americans are against McBush
I seriously think McCain is getting dementia and I am not being rude by saying that....there are just too many blunders by him for him to be a credible president !!!!
and as for Romney ...hes just an arrogant wannabee VP
thats exactly why the american people were not drawn to him bc of
his arrogance!!!
Fired up! Ready to go!!
OBAMA ALL THE WAY!
As an Obama supporter, I don't trust some of the posts here from people who identify themselves as Obama supporters and heap abuse down on Hillary or the other way around. They are probably cowardly McSame supporters trying to get us Democrats to fight one another.
Most Hillary and Obama supporters have made up. After all we don't want a "let them eat short term dividends" McSame leading us into more wars and even a weaker dollar.
Obama-Sebilius '08!
I support Obama but i wish you would stop with the polls. I'm voting for Obama and that's that. These polls hurt my head really......
This kind of reminds me of my college days rooting for my beloved SIU Salukis. In basketball we hated Creighton. Didn't like them when we played them. As soon as the regular season was over though, I couldn't wait to see them play and win in the tournament.
I hope Clintons supporters will realize that her and Obama are basically one in the same when it comes to ideals and the direction of our country. Don't do her, the party and our country a disservice by voting for McCain.
looks like the party is starting to heal GREAT !!!!!!!!. this also shows that real demorcrats know that a lot not all of these so called HRC supporters saying all these ignorant things on these blogs are really republicans causing havoc because they are shakin in their boots. they know that we are about to take control of the country and move it back in a positive direction. they also are already feeling the fire because of all the seats they are going to loose in places they thought where safe . THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE A DEMORCRAT
OBAMA/WEBB 08-16
When women find out McCain voted against the bill for equal pay for women, wants to appeal the Roe case, and wants to privatize social security, women and all seniors will flock to Obama.
I will never vote for OBAMA....I cannot even listen to him LIE anymore ...I cannot watch him on TV stealing everything Hillary was going to do....Hillary Clinton /Al Gore 08-12-Al Gore/Harold Ford Jr 16-20
THE OBAMA BLOGGERS WORK FOR TODAY, GO OUT AND POST AS REFORMED HILLARY SUPPORTERS,
GET SOME INTEGRITY AND MORALS CNN, YOU DO AN UNJUSTICE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE..
Obama will be seen for the empty suit he really is by November; even the women will stop drooling over his candidacy.
I am an Obama supporter...but had things gone the other way, I would have voted for Hillary without any second thoughts.
Let's stop being Obama supporters and Hillary supporters and just be good Democrats.
Democrats Unite '08
Kevin don't you read the newspaper, blogs, watch the 24 hour news cycle, radio and you tell me she wasn't treated unfairly. Where have you been? In space. Think about your mother, grandmother, sisters, wife, girlfriend and your daughters – which of the above apply to you. I would not wish what she endured on my worse enemy.
KEVIN. YOUR AS BLIND AS A BAT. CONCRETE PROOF. SHE WINS STATES THEY ENDORSE O.B. HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED. THIS RACE WAS FIXED WITH BIAS AGAINST HRC. SUPER DELIGATES COULDN'T EVEN WAIT UNTIL PRIMARIES OVER BEFORE THEY PUSH HIM OVER THE LINE. WHAT A JOKE. YOUR JUST ANOTHER HATER. YOU COULD SEE IT PLAIN AS DAY ,BUT YOUR SO BRAINWASHED YOU WOULD BELIEVE IN YOUR MESSIAH O.B. THE COUNTRY COULD FALLIF HE GETS ELECTED ,YOU LOST MINDED VOTERS WOULD HEAR A EMPTY SPEECH FROM HIM ,AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FIND. HE WONT WIN IN NOV. HIS HATERS MADE OUR CHOICE EASY. ITS NOT GOING AGAINST HRC, ITS SAVING OUR COUNTRY FROM A GREENHORN WITH NO KNOWLEDGE HOW TO BRING ANY CHANGE BUT HATE,RACIST AND DIVISION.
They better take another poll.
I HAVE BEEN A OBAMA SUPPORTER FROM DAY ONE BUT MY SISTERS WHERE CLINTON SUPPORTERS BUT THEY HAVE COME HOME TO OBAMA THEY CAN'T STAND MCSAME
I don't know why any woman would support McCain. The same guy who called said to his wife "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c%$t" after she teased him about his hair.
Is that the kind of man women can get behind?
Not all of them!!
I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain.
Together we can:
1) help reverse Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal – let's stop the murder of unborn babies!
2) stop gays from getting married – let's get a constitutional amendment to stop gay marriage and let them know they are not normal!
3) keep fighting the good fight in Iraq for as long as it takes – remember 9/11 and what we are fighting for!
4) get ready to invade Iran – we know they are planning to nuke us – let's get them first! McCain will make sure we do!
Good to see democrats finally waking up and becoming more conservative!
Again, pro-Obama CNN is stiring it up again.
I'm undecided. I won't be 'delivered' to him. He has a lot of work to do to win my vote in November.
The worse polls for Republicans will come in November. The Republicans are out of touch with the American people. Their double standards and hypocrisies are coming back to bite them. Real bad karma for them this time.
This whole campaign has been a lot of propaganda to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I say...
Let's wait and see, sweetie
I wish Hillary was our nominee! Obama has to earn my vote- he has not done that yet.
good news......... together we can take our country back
I absolutely do not believe this poll which has McCain's support shrinking and moving to Obama and the commentary is implying that the Clinton voters are flocking to Obama!
Hillary supporters-
Welcome aboard! Let's crush the Republicans in November!
I take offense at the Obama supporters who make comments here that those who do not support Obama don't understand how the process works and claim that Clinton supporters are "outright dumber than dirt" - It is this arrogance that drives people like myself further away from Obama, a man who lacks experience and is a typical pandering politician.
Did you ever think that people supported Clinton for good reasons instead of hollow promises of hope and change? The constant belittling of the many who preferred a qualified, well-respected candidate in Clinton is befuddling.
Obama will get women votes because he cares about the issues that are important to women. Unlike Mccain who had to leave his former wife who stood with him while he was pow just because she had an accident that disfigured her body for a millionare 18yrs youger than him.
ALTHOUGH BILL RICHARDSON'S CHANCES OF BECOMING OBAMA'S VP RUNNING MATE ARE ABOUT AS LIKELY AS A SNOWSTROM IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST, I DO WISH OBAMA CHOOSES RICHARDSON AS HIS VP PARTNER.
I dont believe the Clinton backers are going to obama, that is just the politics at play saying that, everyone I know and speak with including myself has decided to vote for JOHN MCCAIN, even though we have always voted democrat before.
This is excellent news! Unity in the Democratic Party is not a fairy tail, as some McCain folks - posing as angry, disgruntled Hillary backers - would have you believe. Very, very smart women these pro-Hillary folk. Just like the former candidate. It honors Hillary, who urged all her followers to set aside any anger for the good of the country. In other words: no more years for the Bush-McCain policies.
And did you hear the latest? A date for starting the withdrawal from Iraq "is not important" to John McCain. He REALLY means it when he says he doesn't care if we're there another 100 years! And when the country is roiling from record high gas prices, soaring food costs, rising unemployment, a jittery stock market... all this guy cares about is spending all our human treasure and financial treasure on Iraq. It saddens me and angers me.
LADIES I PROMISE YOU, THE MAN THAT WAS RAISED
MOSTLY BY HIS MOTHER & GRANDMOTHER LOVES YOU
DEEPLY AND WILL DO MORE FOR YOU THAN ANY ONE
EVER HAS.. MCBIGOT VOTED YOUR INTERESTS DOWN
EVERY OPPORTUNITY HE HAS HAD & WILL IN THE FUTURE.
MCWAR WILL WORK ON REVERSING ROVE V. WADE AS SOON
AS HE CAN. ONE MORE OF HIS KIND ON THE SUPREME
COURT WILL DO JUST THAT.THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT
IT.MCWAR IS ALSO A DISASTER WITH NATIONAL SECURITY.
THERE IS NO NATIONAL SECURITY IN ATTACKING NATIONS
THAT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO US. IRAQ & IRAN IN BED
TOGETHER. HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR US?
You don't have my vote or that of anyone I've talked with....
other then my daughter who is 23 years old-so itis what you would expect.
There isn't any way for you to "Win" me over.
I'm a conservative patriot!
I will be voting for McCain-my conservative War Hero with a wife who will make a GREAT First Lady!
wait.. couldn't let this slide from the previous topic.. (obama's "vetter" stepping down)
So...
Let me get this straight...
A person who Obama brought on TWO WEEKS AGO to vet his VP candidates.... got a legal mortgage from a legal program that was set up to give people in their circle... mortgages.
and the WALL STREET JOURNAL... beacon of non-partisan journalism, that it is....) VETTED the person who was to VET the candidates...
so..... the point is...... WHAT, exactly....?
this is somehow supposed to reflect poorly on Obama while McCain's top staffer, (former sen. Phil Gramm) is the architect of the mortgage de-regulation bill DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for today's mortgage crises gets a free ride... (hey... tell me again how the media is in Obama's pocket..)
I'm still not voting for obama no matter what.Hillary had my support I' m writting her name in November.Hillary supporter write her name in do not vote fo obama do not trust him.Like michelle obama said she would have to think about voting for Hillary.Well i have thought and guess what I'm not voting for him.
BO's not getting this woman, that's for sure. Don't liek him, don;t trust him, will not vote for him. P.U.M.A.!!!
blog.pumapac.org
Once those older women find out about Carol McCain.....Obama will be winning their vote by the same margins he is winning the black vote.
Hillary had 18 million voters. How many people post on message boards? You are not the majority.
To all my fellow Democrats- I thought of a new game we can play!! lets see how many blogs we find with all the names used with the word "Mc"in front of them, I'm sure we will have a field day on this!!
Another thing- to all you republicans who tends to use the word
(stupid , dumb , idiots) in your blogs- referring to us dems. Try using spell check when you blog. It's kinda mind boggling when you call us these names , and yet your spelling in these blogs reflect you as such!! "STIDUP".
I might tell you I'll vote for him to get you off my back. But when I get in the voting booth, my vote will go to McCain.
I love how there are still some miss guided people who have no clue who or what McCain stands for – but because they're upset that Obama beat out Hillary they're going to vote for him.
I bet that if it were McCain that had beaten out Hillary all these people would be voting for Obama!
Can November be here allready – I don't know how many more fluff storys from CNN I can take
What exactly is wrong with my comment that I can't get this past the moderators? I tell you CNN I have never seen such insane moderation of comments posted on a blog by an organization in my life! Let's try this again.
This is because these women understand that McCain is the exact opposite of Hillary Clinton. Obama and Clinton share 98% of the same policies and agenda for the future of this country. There is too much at stake in this election to let McCain push forward his old agenda.
This election is about us – country, our future – everything.Please dont make personal grudge beat you to making a wise decision.
I cannot vote, but i want common good – for all the people in the world.I have never gotten so much involved in any election before.I must say, US has brought out the best in me !
Hey PUMA traitors, this officially makes you the lunatic fringe of the party now. Congratulations.
No self-respecting woman would vote for John McCain and his policy to keep your children in Iraq, and mandate what you may or may not do with your own body. It is not natural for a woman to vote for McCain, it should go against their biology.
I still AM NOT one of the female voters moving over to the Obama camp. It will take me some time to think about this one. Especially after the way Hillary Clinton was treated by the media, the DNC, and the Obama camp. I am not sure what I will do this coming November. I am really upset about the outcome of the democratic nominee for President. Senator Obama is going to have to prove to all of Hillary Clinton's supporters that he will unify, not divide. Ever since Obama started his campaign, he has been the most divisive person I have ever seen. He has to prove alot to the American people. You cannot buy my vote Senator Obama. You have stolen this election from Hillary Clinton period. You can fool some, but not all. STILL SUPPORTING HILLARY CLINTON FOREVER!!!!!!!
I always have thought that "most" of HRC supporters would come around. To them I say "thank you for helping to save our nation by an Obama vote. I am a 60 year old Obama suppporter and proud of it.
Btw, there will always always be a percentage of HRC supporters who will not vote for BHO, BUT this percentage will get smaller and Obama will continue to increase his lead in other groupes (besides ovr 50 woman), so I wouldn't sweat it.
Obama 08
THIS HILLARY SUPPORTER IS WAITING TO SEE HOW HE TREATS HER BEFORE I MAKE MY DECISION. I AM A TRUE DEMOCRAT THAT WILL NOT ONLY VOTE FOR MCCAIN BUT SUPPORT HIM FINANCIALLY. WHAT WOULD YOU OBAMA FOLKS BE SAYING IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT???? PROBABLY BE CALLING HILLARY A RACIEST FOR NOT ALREADY SELECTING HIM.
I'm telling you = when the election is about the lesser of the evils Obama wins EVERY time!
Great, I knew we could count on the ladies. Thank you for your support and trust. I am sure that you will not be disappointed.
You rock ladies, show McCain that you will not be taken in by him trying to suck up to the women, only to stab them in the back on Roe v. Wade, the economy and your sons and daughters staying in Iraq until he decides that hell just froze over.
Mary ...
I have so many words for you – but I'll keep it short and sweet. If you are over 50 I would expect you to know that all people can have those moments and "lie". However, it doesn't make us big green monsters! I believe the only man that never told a lie may had been George Washington
. OK... now to your more mature side – and as a woman please pay close attention – if you believe in oppression, then McCain's your man. If you believe in equal rights for all – then Obama should be for you. If you want to put our economy in the hands of someone with enough experience to tell you that he doesn't know much about the subject – then go for it – McCain all the way. However, if you are like the rest of us and want a solution, then please drop your immature hypotheses and vote Obama in November.
By election time when everyone has a chance to understand the difference between McCain and Obama Clinton supporters will flock to Obama. So will many others.
JOHN--The fake Michelle Obama comments don't exist, and I am sure there is a team investigating rumors and the like and making sure her words don't get misconstrued like they did when she said she was proud of her country.
Thats a very small persent of 18 million voters. Real Clear Politic has him down from 47 to 46.9 and McCain is holding , so have other people already left him. If you want real polls go to Real Clear Politics.
McClinton voter not for Ocarter.
Kevin i hope that Obama doesn't think he's entitled.....because this is a daily tracking poll that when examined seems off base...Naturally some of the Clinton backers will vote Obama, but there are large numbers of anti-Obama voters that will be very difficult to poll.
Doesn't matter. Obama is a fraud. Cotton candy candidate.
McCain wins 40 states.
Obama = Jimmy Carter
Barack, just don't get complacent and think it is a wrap.
I want to see a dedicated push to include as many women in high-level positions in your administration as possible, preferably to the ratio of men to women (women equal 53% of the national population).
I would fall over in a faint if you select a female for vice president.
We will wait and see.
Hillary speech helped! Her supporters respect her and answere
what she asked them to do. Great job! well come home!
EXPOSE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!
I, too am very happy that Hillary supporters are coming on board. But please, let us be ever vigilant. The right has ALREADY begun a campaign of half-truths, dizzying spin, flagrant distortion, and outright lies in regards to Obama's positions and his record.
THEY WILL NOT QUIT. NEITHER MUST WE....
Do you know.. the right actually commissioned a STUDY to see just how far they could push race in this contest? (WHO DOES THIS?)
Do you know.. the right has stated that their "stragegy" is to raise Obama's NEGATIVES because his were too low, and they can't LOWER THEIR OWN....
WHEN YOU CAN'T RUN ON YOUR RECORD..... TEAR THE OTHER GUY DOWN......
WE HAVE TRIED IT THEIR WAY...
FOR SIX MISERABLE YEARS.....
they had the house......
they had the senate... (with a filibuster-proof majority even)
they had the whitehouse... FULLY utilizing a rubber-stamp congress
(heck.... they even got the courts...)
AND OUR COUNTRY IS IN THE CRAPPER.... AND THEY CAN'T BLAME IT ON BILL CLINTON.....
I think women in this country are smarter than many think – they recognize that these 2 candidates are 180 degrees apart and they know which side of that is more beneficial for them.
I have lots of hope that we democrats will come together and do what is right for this country and that women will lead the way.
Yes, we can.
And wouldn't Hillary make a great Justice of the Supreme Court? I think she would.
**************************************************************************
Abused his wife, cheated on his wife and says he will overturn Roe v Wade....why would women not vote for him?
Mary.. you will not vote for Obama because "he lies" as you put it?? Are you serious? Did you miss the entire campaign? Umm....SNIPER FIRE anyone? I believe it is the candidate who you supported who lied – several times. You sound like a Republican – distort the truth, hoping it becomes reality. You need to snap out of it. Perhaps then you'll be able to cast an educated vote. That is of course unless, as I suspect, you have NO INTENTION of EVER voting for a black candidate. When people like you come up with an obvious lie as to why you won't vote for Obama, it is clear where your mind is when it comes to people of color. Shame. So much energy wasted on hatred. And the ironic thing is, that sort of energy eats away at a person and does you no good whatsoever.
OF COURSE! TRUE DEMOCRATS know what's a stake and are not fooled by 'faux-democrats' in these blogs and elsewhere claiming its Hillary or McCain!
A TRUE DEMOCRAT KNOWS THAT A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR .........
MORE WAR, POSSIBLY WITH IRAN AS WELL, GOD HELP US!
MORE NATIONAL DEBT ..... ISN'T OVER $10 TRILLION ENOUGH?
MORE CONTINUED TAX BREAKS FOR BIG OIL ( I HEARD MITT ROMNEY, THE GUY'S A MOUTHPIECE FOR BIG OIL)
MORE AMERICANS IN DESPERATE NEED OF HEALTHCARE....
MORE FAILED FOREIGN POLICY!
HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR MCCAIN?
DON'T LET THE RNC FOOL YOU, AMERICA! REMEMBER THE OLD WISE SAYING...... "FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME!"
Don't buy into main stream media. It's fiction made up to get viewers who don't know any better. It's all about $. They don't care about this country.
Any Clinton supporter that votes for McLame is throwing women back at least 50 years.
McBushie has NO respect for women. I don't want my daughters growing up under a McBushie presidency. Talk about slavery !!!!!
Lets Go Dems!!!!!!!!
I SEE OBAMA MADE ANOTHER SMART MOVE WHEN HE PICKED JOHNSON TO RUN HIS VP SELECTION COMMITTEE.HE TALKED ABOUT HILLARY VOTING FOR THE WAR HE HASN'T MADE A GOOD DECISION YET.IT'S LIKE I SAID HE IS LOST AND IN OVER HIS HEAD.HAVE THE D.N.C. GIVE HIM ANOTHER HAND FULL OF DELEGATE AND THAT WILL MAKE HIM MORE QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB.I HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT ALL MY LIFE BUT NOT THIS TIME.THANKS TO JACK CAFFERTY ,M.S.N.B.C. AND ALL OF THE BIG SHOTS IN THE D.N.C.I DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN BUT WILL IN THE FALL.
White males make up the largest segment of the electorate and Obama won't get more than a sliver of them. He is a fraud.
Not this Hillary supporter.
McCain 08'
I urge all Clinton supports to vote for McCain. The democratic party has stood by doing nothing while the media and Mrs. Clintons' haters fill the air with sexist remarks. They could have said something but they did not. I do not think this party share my values anymore so I will become an independent and vote for McCain.
Due to the fact that this was a 'photo finish' race, the emotion level on both sides could only increase until the end. Now that it has been over for awhile, both Clinton AND Obama supporters are starting to think more clearly again. As an Obama supporter, I was certain to not vote for Sen Clinton if she became the nominee. What was I thinking? The conclusion I came to is this: of course I would have voted for Clinton. America cannot afford the GOP anymore. The Dems tried to go after 'Big oil' and the GOP shut it down in the Senate recently. So, the question for this election is this: who is on your side? For a large majority of Americans it is the Democratic Party; for big oil it is the Republicans.
McCain will over turn Roe v Wade! He won't even consider a VP who's pro-choice! You want back room abortion-then vote McCain.
You just illustrated the concrete proof, Kevin! "The Clintons thought they were entitled!" First of all, the media's repeated references to Hillary as "the Clintons" was absurd and unfair. Hillary is one person and one Senator who has accomplished a great deal in her own right. Her husband has in no way interfered with her Senate career and there is no evidence that he would have done so if she had become President. It is deeply sexist to suggest she is merely an appendage of her husband.
To the second half of your sentence about entitlement, this is also without merit. Once again, the Obama-worshipping media repeated something enough times so that it became perceived as fact. What evidence is there that Hillary thought she was entitled to the Presidency? She raised money like everyone else did and she participated in the debates like everyone else did. While most polls in 2007 suggested she was the frontrunner, SHE never said anything of the kind.
Hillary Clinton promised she would serve her full 6-year term as Senator before running for President. She kept her word. Barack Obama made the exact same promise. He lied.
Why am I not voting for Obama? This is why.
I will not vote for McCain, either. I will stay home or vote for a third candidate.
-----------------------------
KEVIN SAID: Everyone knows most Clinton voters will vote for Obama, even though some of them are still trying to imply (in a vague way) that she was treated unfairly without supplying any concrete proof.
The Clintons thought they were entitled!
Dont believe the MSM bias; we HILLARY supporters are NOT jumping on the NObama band wagon in this lifetime and will actively campaign against him.
The majority of us will plug our noses and vote for Mccain come Novemeber and you can take that to the bank.
Your scare tactics will not work either as the dems/indepen hold the majority in both the senate and the house and will limit any damage Mccain will be able to do.
The war will also be stopped because of the majority and Roe~V~Wade will not be overturned either, first it is case law and second any SCJ appointed by Mccain will have to be vetted and go through congress.
Do you really think they would allow a SCJ like that to be on the bench?NO
How can you possibly support a nominee that was selected by the elites and not elected by the people?
Do you want a dictatorship? Because by allowing the DNC to select NObama that is exactly what you would be getting.
"PUMA DEMOCRAT"
Thank you Peter from San Francisco!
You are so on the mark.
I think that the posters you are referring to are called Trolls.
Yeah, right, this poll is fabricated!
One man can buy the house and the people who are living in it, but not the workers and the builders who built it.
Democrats that supported Clinton just don't like Obama's beliefs, his values or his unfair treatment of Michigan and Florida voters.
Why doesn't the media get it.
If Clinton went to a church that supported the KKK and had treated Michigan and Florida as disrespectfully as Obama did, they would not have supported her either.
That's what makes this Country great...........We, as citizens, can replace those, that don't do the "Will of the People".But, that said, we also should "Back" , those that win, within our "fair" Democratic process. That includes, our "present" President, G.W.Bush.....How soon; we do forget!!!!!
Welcome former Dems!
Your party totally ignored you and listed to the liberal media rather than the votes. Obama barely got any votes and the media just makes it sound like he won
That makes me MAD. And i know it makes you MAD too!
McCain/Cheney 08!!!!!!
I Had A Feeling Hillary Supporters Would Pick Obama Over Mccain! They Wont Allow Their Right To Choose Be Taken Away! They Dont Want Their Children To Die In A War Which Doesnt Make Up Safer! They Wont Vote For A Man Like Mccain Who Loves War! Mccain Will Not Bring Our Troops Home Or Give Them The Care And Benefits They Deserve! His Voting Record Proves It!
Welcome ladies! But... where are the men?
By the way... a lot of women voted for Obama as well!
Since when did this primary come down to just women?
Go Obama!
I knew after all the emotions settled down Clinton supporters would really take a look at McCain and say HELL NO!!!!! Well I say welcome to you all, and it will be a pleasure voting with you...
BARACK / SEBELIUS 08
BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!
All the credit in the world belongs to Hillary Clinton. Her rallying speech was a thing of beauty and an historic one for her. I salute you, Hillary. Right now, I would even join her for a boilermaker
They have not asked me. I am going to treat him like he treated voters in Michigan "Uncommitted" and might not give him 1/2 a vote. LOL!
Aren't you PROUD of OBAMA!!!
Campaign fund raising events scheduled in CHINA????? I guess he is getting ready to auction us off to the highest bidder.
I wonder how much he intends to get for the selling of AMERICA?
It is difficult to imagine that anyone with a minimum of two functional brain cells could even pretend to vote for THIS PRESUMPTIVE CANDIDATE.
I am amazed at his / democratic party's view of campaign civility. Just one of a long list of reasons why, I pray, the democratic (clueless) party will once again be outside of the White House looking in.
Welcome Clinton supporters....Let unite and end this fueding!
Obama 08
Give us Hillarys time, well come around, the alternative is not a choice, but a death sentence for the US.
I dont think so.
hillary was our best candidate to become president, however hillary bashers would rather put our country in the hands of a rookie politician with suspicious activities at best in his short history .clinton bashers are ruining what chance we had to have a very formiddable candidate run our country .. you clinton bashers are crazy !!!!
Great!!!
TOGETHER YES WE CAN!!!
Hats off to the true DEMOSTRATS!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!! (you who believe and you who don't, for sure)
No wonder McCain left the country to visit those far away lands of Mexico and Canada. Must have been difficult to see the gap creeping in the polls. When he returns the gap will be even greater.
Now he knows how Hillary "this will be over by February 5th!" Clinton felt when she began slipping in the polls.
In literature it's called "foreshadowing".
Obama and his "crew" have obviously done some African voodoo magic on us all. Lets not let this thug get away with it!
Write in Clinton in November! Its the only way for us to be heard jus like Hillary said!
NEVER HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Thank you Sen. Clinton supporter for being true democrates and
supporting the democratic party. thank you for caring about the rest of
us we need you.
Everybody has a right to their opinion and the right to vote, not matter whether it is Obama or MccCain. No one should be criticized for who they choose as a Presidential Candidate. If Hillary Clintons' followers decide to support Obama, they should not be criticized. Chances are Hillary Clinton's followers are interested in seeing that the Democratic Party come together.
This election is about us – country, our future – everything.Please dont make personal grudge beat you to making a wise decision.
I cannot vote, but i want common good – for all the people in the world.I have never gotten so much involved in any election before.I must say, US has brought out the best political involvement in me !
Obama looks very promising !He is educated, wise and level headed.I have never seen such a humble politician before.He ran his campaign in a very systematic way and thanks to that he has money to spare for the GE.Can you imagine were US would be if he got elected and brought the same discipline into the Oval?
I do sympathize with Hillary supporters.Shes come a long way and whats shes done will inspire millions of women everywhere.Very proud of her accomplishments indeed.Unfortunately, in every contest there is only one winner.The idea is to continue to support her and her ideas.Everyone knows BO and HC had similar views on challenges that face this country.You know it.Deep down you do.
So make a decision in line with what you have been supporting through your candidate.This election is bigger than all that makes you wanna go McBush.
I dont want my friends in harms way.I know you love you kids and wouldnt want any harm come to them.So think before you vote.
Am i bitter ? Hell YES !
I am bitter that the gas is > $4/gallon
I am bitter that the unemployment rates are up
I am bitter that my friends are made to go to places like Iraq
I am bitter that the government of this country doesnt give a shi$t about us.
Obama 08-16 !
all i got to say is let it rain mccain,,,
duhhhh? dem usually go for dems. obama is the man.........the right man!!!
There are 80,000 contractors in Iraq right now – paid for by tax payers and hired by the Whitehouse.
And we wonder where all the money is going. These guys get tons of money, while our troops have to contend with poor pay and poor benefits when they return.
Vote McCain = vote for the rich to keep getting richer.
Hillary 2 good 4 V.P. slot, McCain in '08 and Hillary in 2012.... and NO, I am not a 'true democrat', i did not vote in "04 for either party because there was no good choice between the two.
So there are about 25 people on this blog saying they will not vote for Obama. 75% are republicans stirring the pot, which leaves a handful who may actually be legit. No candidate's ever going to win 100% of another candidates followers so you guys can yell and scream all you want about if not hillary then mccain but we'll take our chances with the millions and millions of Clinton backers who aren't childish and know that Obama's polices are almost identical to Hillary's.
Obama 08
It's time to move forward. There have been some very nasty comments from both Clinton and Obama supporters but I believe that alot of them are from people just trying to cause trouble or very limited in their communications skills. I think most of us agree that we had two great candidates running against each other which caused some very strong emotional commitments to our candidates but Obama is the candidate and it's time to rally behind him. Let's not let pettiness or people just trying to cause trouble (most likely republicans) make a mockery of the democratic party. United we stand
This poll is bogus!! Obama has been known for paying for polls that favor him. This is just another blatant attempt in hoodwinking the female vote. His distain and disregard for Hillary was a slap in the face for all women. Obama, along with Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Brazille, and the DNC all sat by and watched Hillary face the onslaught of sexism by Obama himself, his campaign, his supporters and the media. It wasn't just an attack on Hillary, but on all women. And, Hillary supporters had to constantly hear how insignificant we were and that Obama didn't need us. Well, America needs us. McCain needs us. So, we will support McCain because a vote for McCain is a vote against Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Brazille, the DNC, and all the illegal and undemocratic party like actions and behavior that has taken place over the course of the campaign. Obama and his camp suppressed our votes in MI and FL and said he was willing to count them if he was the nominee. He never wanted us to have our say in a nominee unless that nominee was him. This is not a person we want as president. Voting for McCain will change the Democratic Party for the better because the DNC will wake up and realize that we will not be quite. Silence is not spoken here!!!
oops!!! I did the John McCain...Had a senior moment....
HATS OFF TO THE DEMOCRATS!! NOT STRATS!!!
HAIL TO PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!
I think it is time for a change...not only in terms of national politics, military or the US healthcare system. It is time for a global change:
We all are human beings living on the same tiny planet and finally have to deliberate about our future – the future of mankind! As a global society, we have to overcome war, nationalism, capitalism, climate change, etc...
The US can lead the world into a better future! I am sure that Barack Obama will be the required and appropriate leader.
I will take November 5th off in order to follow the election live on CNN.
Good Night and God Bless America.
Looks like some of these chicks are
taking their Midol and using their Canesten!
Oh wait, at that age yo don't need it anymore.
Dear Danny Democrat from AZ,
Your comment read volumes and shows exactly what you are trying to call others. You are pathetic.
The only remote way I could vote for Obama is if Hillary was on the ticket. However the most logical choice for me is McCain and then Hillary in 012.
-–Mary June 11th, 2008 4:45 pm ET
And yesterday, a news report stated that three million Clinton supporters had vowed not to vote for Obama. I am over 50 and so are my friendds and none of us will vote for him. He is a loser to us. He lies.-–
BEWARE OF THE REPUBLICANS POSING AS HILLARY SUPPORTERS SAYING THEY WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM...MARY, WHERE IS THIS NEWS REPORT YOU ARE REFERRING TO???? GIVE US A BREAK PLEASE!
I'm over sixty and Obama has my vote.
I don't want my eightteen year old son–who just got his Selective Service notification in the mail–to fight in one of McCain's endless and unnecessary wars.
Let's figure out who is behind this puch to war with iran, and expose and stop them before it is too late.
Who wants the war with iran?
The MAIN reason I am voting Obama is because my Senator decided to stop running and endorse him. This demonstrates alot about Clinton's character and style. I mean, this gesture speaks volume. I am frustrated that the media did not cover her story like that.
It's done now and the main thing is for us Democrats to stand together and united. We are a family and that image needs to maintain regardless of an election year.
Senator Obama is a good guy. I just wanted to see a female be the first to break the mold of old Anglo males consistently leading this country.
To be honest I was going to vote McCain. But when I was watching and listeneing to Hillary's speech I thought.......that idea was plain wrong. Who am I to dictate what history is going to play out. There will be a change, but it's gonna be Obama. That's just fine with me. I am not the holder of the keys to history.
I AM a DEMOCRAT though. And I Latino living in the best state in the country, Arizona. And I will vote Obama.
i'm writing hillary in.
jackie
LIE, LIE , LIE , LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE
GOOD !
After all is "said and done" and we get down to the " nittiy gritty"...we women want the best for all Americans and our country.
WELCOME " Hillary supporters" and THANK YOU for your support !!!!
This is not about Hillary or Obama, it is about your children's future and your future.
I do not care how mad you are about her not winning, if you do not vote Republican you will loose also and I am sure Hillary does not want that.
Stop being so mad, get over it, it is not like she was going to burn her bra again for you.
CNN, quit trying to bs the American people, you guy's even let Obama advertise on your website, go Fox News.
American women understand who has their best interests in mind and that isn't McCain.
From the war to the economy to women's rights, it's Obama – with the support of Hillary Clinton and other great women in the Democratic party, we will change the same old tired politics of fear and division and move ahead to a new America.
Here goes CNN again trying to entice Hillary supporters get behind Obama by cherry picking the latest poll numbers. I don't know how any Hillary supporter could get behind Obama and his belligerent and vitriolic band of supporters. Although some falling in line would be expected, don't plan on those numbers going much higher than they are now.
Poll Schmoll, this white college educated urban Hillary supporter will be voting for John McCain come November.
These numbers are not a surprise. Mr. Obama is likely to pick up a majority of Clinton supporters, but ultimately, it will not be enough. In order to win, Mr. Obama would have to garner nearly 100% of all registered Democrats as well as a large number of independents and a smattering of Republican cross-over voters and this is highly unlikely. Sadly, the DNC suffers from the delusion that they can bully voters into supporting their flawed and yet- to- be- vetted nominee and this is simply not so.
BLAM! IN YOUR FACE MCCAIN!
Sorry! There is only ONE WAY, I will vote for Obama and that is if
Senator Clinton is on the ticket! We'll see how much of a "uniter" he is! So far, I haven't seen it!!!!
The media has been "pushing" Obama since the beginning and they are doing it again. Maybe the "party" is behind him, but there are a lot of voters who are NOT! The media and the "party' can say and do what they want...they have made a mockery of this campaign.
No Bama without Hillary!
McCain cant even lift both of his arms. Whats happens if he's in a stick up?
If Hillary's supporters agreed with her on the ISSUES ... then any vote for McCain instead of Obama betrays their support of Hillary. Those would be defectors can say and do what ever they like ... but they simply cannot claim any moral high gound by voting for McCain who does not represent their interests.
Hillary was my first choice, but I'll happily vote for Obama over McCain.
I'm over sixty and when Hillary quit I logged on to McCain's web sight, joined and donated. I guess Hillary gave Obama her donators list because I got an email from his campaign asking for money. I emailed back to be removed from the list. I would never vote for a racist, sexist, socialist candidate.

All these so called Clinton Supporters on this blog are republican trolls pretending to be Hillary supporters. These are same republicans who voted for Hillary as part of the operation chaos. If there any true Hillary supporters saying "McCain if not Hillary", they are very few. Of course, I am not even touching WV and KY. They both are different story.
The fact that Clinton supporters say they will vote for McCain is hilarious since every issue Hilary has is different than McCain...hilarious
Good grief, CNN, don't publicize it! You'll cause a backlash which will cause a backslide.
Not my support. Someone should ask Michelle Obama what her senior thesis was on.
Tell the truth, Obama is picking up McCain supporters. Look back at the senile blunders McCain has made over the past weeks. Clinton supporters haven't all weighed in yet, but they will.
This is a no brainer.
As McCane himself keeps reminding everyone, the approach to issues have never been more stark than they are between him and Obama.
One major issue that does not get enough attention and debate is the Supreme Court appointments.
As a male supporting the women's right to choose, I think electing McCane will doom Roe v. Wade.
Women, specially Democrat women know this, and they will support Obama because they will never forgive themselves if they don't, and McCane gets elected, and overturns Roe v. Wade through his SC appointment(s).
Im not a woman, but dont count on my vote unless you have Clinton on the ticket.
I WILL GIVE YOU SEVERAL REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN--
IF YOU LIKE OUR 9 TRILLION DEBT AND MORE TO COME, JOHN IS YOUR MAN.
IF YOU LIKE THE WAR IN IRAQ AND A FUTURE WAR IN IRAN, THEN JOHN IS YOUR MAN.
IF YOU LIKE LOW TAXES BUT NO JOB, JOHN IS YOUR MAN.
IF YOU LOVED GEORGE BUSH YOU WILL ADORE JOHN BOY.
MY SELF, I'M VOTING FOR OBAMA, A YOUNG MAN WITH NEW YOUNG IDEAS.
COME ONE COME ALL!!!!
FOLLOW THE PATH OF CHANGE!
COME TO THE LIGHT OF HOPE
ALL ARE WELCOME...ALL ARE WELCOME!!!
Now, if we can just get these other Clinton supporter to vanquish the bitter hate in their hearts get over they temultuous loss and unite for the good of the country.
If you really loved Hillary, If you really believed in what she wanted for this country, YOU WOULD REALLY BE WITH OBAMA NOW!
This is not about OBAMA This is not about Hillary.
THIS IS ABOUT ALL OF US
PEACE AND LOVE
DEMOCRATS '08 AND FOREVER!
Some of us have always known what he is. He is inept and corrupt.
All the media spin is not going to make us change our minds.
In fact, the more they push us to him the further we run.
The media should get out of their offices sometime and do some investigating.
Another Il Gov. in big time trouble. The third in a row to go to jail?
McCain 08
Great News!
Any woman in her right mind knows McCain's policies are anti-female...............we need Hillary in the supreme court!
If you are a Hillary supporter, it is hypocritical of you to vote for McCain since he stands for everything Hillary does not.
i would say rallying to his side reluctantly–under the direction of our first choice, hillary. i for one see obama as totally unqualified, uninspiring, unoriginal; but the lesser of two evils. no enthusiasm for this at all... only hillary's inspiring message could make me do this, and i hope the media will give her the credit she deserves for that.
Is he really change? He is just another suit and i will not vote for him. Let the the Republicans fix their mess.
What a bunch of bunk ! PUMA>>>>Operation Turndown!
Why don't some hillary supporters get it? I thought we were democrats to vote for mccain is not what we need and they know it. Its time for a democrat to run this country, and if you support Clinton you will vote for a democrat period. This is our party Hillary is part of that party to vote for republican is to guarantee her a spot no where. Obama will give her a important job. Do you think Mccain will give her an important job? NO!
Please come together democrats. This is not what Hillary wants to see.
How can you guarantee her a spot if you wont vote for Obama. I have given money to both Hillary and Obama. I am a young voter who will vote democrat no matter what. I just don't want you guys to fall for mcbush's trap this is what he wants us to be mad at each other.
COME TOGETHER DEMOCRATS
very happy to here this because we all share one value as democrats .
not the other side .we democrats will come together a take back the white house.white,black ,hispanic,asian,indian.we all need stay together and win this election come november 4.if your 18 and above, please register if you haven,t so you can vote in november.
Rus in St. Paul, MN
Is that the kind of man women can get behind?NO! McCainis the type Larry Craig would get behind
So Hussein Obama picks up Clinton support despite his crumbling image.
Jim Johnson, the man running Obama’s vice presidential search team, stepped down after he had received preferential deals on Countrywide Financial mortgages, the company at the heart of the sub-prime foreclosure disaster.
Obama's himself got a sweetheart deal on a property deal from Tony Resko.
David Axelrod, Obama's political mastermind, worked for a firm that led a public relations effort for Exelon, the giant power company.
The man who helped convince Obama to run, former Senator Tom Daschle, works for a lobbying firm.
Hundreds of former lobbyists populate Obama's staff and current lobbyists offer him unpaid advice.
Yeah, that’s the kind of change you can bank on. All the slime without the experience.
Well, not all HRC supporters are racists.
For all bitter Hillary 'supporters' that say they will stick with Mc Cain, here is some findings for you:
Hillary 'supporters' that support Mc Cain will lose twice !
The Mc Cain/Hillary/PUMA = double losers
Obama will lose in November. Just wait for the real fight to begin with the Republicans. He does not stand a chance. He's gonna need more than 18 million of Hillary's supporters.
Give us a few more weeks and McCain will have no vote
Ron Paul 2008 !!!!
Christine V from Dallas, TX:
You are just wrong for that Kool-Aid comment. Grow up!!!!
THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO MARY. OF COURSE YOU WOULDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA YOUR OVER 60 AND SINCE YOU CAN'T HAVE CHILDERN ANYMORE IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU THAT MCCAIN WOULD BE A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ON THE BENCH THAT WOULD OVERTURN ROE VS WADE AND THAT YOUNGER WOMEN YOU HAVE SON'S AND DAUGHTERS IN THE WAR MAY COME HOME IN BODY BAGS DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU EITHER.
GET OVER BEING MAD BECAUSE YOU WON'T SEE A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE, TRY THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE AND THOSE WILL WILL COME AFTER YOU.
Should there be any surprise that BHO leads among those who vote with their heart? If only more voters used their HEADS!
I'm still waiting for Obama to put Hillary on the ticket. Then my family will vote him; if not, we will write-in Hillary's name on the ballot.
Not any women I know – they say only now that she's out is the media adressing gender's roll in all of this - and only after she did what they said. They're pissed. I don't know if Obama will feel this fallout, but the entire media punditry should be ashamed of themselves. They think they're hip, making unconsciously sexist remarks while wearing pink ties (Oberman). As a guy, I am appauled.
Ok...here's a little spelling lesson. Loser is the opposite of winner. Looser is the opposite of tighter.
yay!!!! I still think the country needs Hillary more as head of the senate more than as VP but, I will vote Dem regardless of what the ticket is. I think McCain is a great American and I have a ton of respect for him. But I do not agree with his policy of appeasement to big business. It has been proven over and over that businesses care about their investors, not their employees.
Not me! I still plan to write Hillary on my ballot. I'm so sick of this election. Race seems to be at the forefront of this whole election process. We can't see the race, because of race. I'm sick of being grouped, black, white, men, women, old, young, rich, poor, educated, uneducated. We seem to be going backwards at an alarming rate. Slavery is still alive and well in this country. People trafficking is as big a problem as drugs, if not worse. People from Mexico, Central America, Africa and other countries are being sold into slavery today. People who will pay for anything, can get anything. Greed is the driving force. If there were no buyers there would be no sellers. People would not steal a car stereo, if no one would buy it. I wish everyone would question a $600.00 stereo being sold for $50.00? The love of money is the root of all evil. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.
I don't believe the hype that women voters are too emotional, too irrational and too personally connected to Hilary, to ever vote for Obama. Women who care about women's issues can't vote for McCain!
How did it happen that the first real chance for a woman in the White House brings this awful caricature of women voters?
Thank You Hillary Supporters! God Bless each of you
"Bloomberg Warns Voters on Confusing Charisma, Substance"
(NY Sun)
P.S. Only the electoral college matters.
Bush destroyed the g.o.p. Vote for Bob Barr to send a message.
It is good to see that many of Hillary's supporters really do trust her and respect her judgement. It's pathetic that so many of her avid supporters just claimed they respected her but really didn't.
Terri – that is the funniest thing I have heard – I know about 20 people who voted for Clinton and they are now for Obama – because they are DEMOCRATS!
If people are voting for McCain because they feel Hillary was treated with sexism – that is honestly ridiculous. McCain DOES NOT support women's right, he barely has respect for his own wife.
Puh-leeeease!
This will last until Obama names a VP candidate, and the name isn't Hillary. Then the firestorm will start anew.
Ok Not all of the Hill’s girls are blind with bitterness. I know McCain and the folks at Fox New are pissed off!
ALL WOMEN WHO CARE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS UNITE!!!!
McCAIN MEANS OVERTURNING OF ROE vs WADE!!!!
McCAIN MEANS 30 YEARS OF CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES!
WE NEED TO SUPPORT OBAMA AS HE IS A DEMOCRAT!!!
Welcome.
Thanks for staying with us, and knowing that McCain wouldn't give you anything for your vote – just a big laugh from the Oval Office.
Democrats in '08!
I helped register voters this past weekend in California and we had one of the largest number of registrants in a long time, including a number of folks who switched from Republican to Democrat, even though there is no primary coming up. They wanted to "send a message" to the RNC. Also, the feedback was extremely positve re switching loyalty from Hillary to Obama.
I think when people get over their hurt feelings, they will vote for choice, for Social Security, for healthcare, for Obama.
When I was a kid my sister and I got into fights and that was OK but if another guy was to fight with her we both would try to take his head off. Not one time do I remember her lining up with the other guy, who did not have her best interest in mind.
Enough said.
Obama08
To those supporters that say Obama will give something to Hillary:
1) She has earned everything that could be offered to her
2) Who says she wants anything from Obama
3) Who knows what she will do next
4) How many Clinton supporters supported her cause she was only the least of the two evils
5) Do we really think Hillary even likes Obama
I have a no vote for Obama
The "Welcome Hillary Supporters" comment says it all –
Did you really believe in Hillary at all people?
Because these comments are exactly how we elected BUSH twice! It is amazing to me.
To all those coming together – I am SO PROUD OF YOU!
Obama 08
Our upcoming presidential choices are no choices at all. Either we end up with a McaiNation or an ObabaNation. How about none of the above.
Where's the analysis on who MEN are planning to vote for? One would think that the womens' vote is the only one that counts in CNN-world. A little equal time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Types of Clinton backers.
1) True democrats who thought Hillary was a better candidate. No doubt about them that they WILL vote Obama
2) Sexist. When they will realize that their liberation and their right to chose is in jeapordy, they will vote Obama, not McCain
3) Racist. When they will realize that a third term of Bush and his oil mafia via McBush would reposses their homes, their 401k (via crashed stock market) , their children (via Iraq war) etc etc, they WILL become color blind and vote Obama
4) Republicans disguised as Hillary voters. Who care? They would have voted McBush even if Hillary was the presidential nominee.
KM June 11th, 2008 4:53 pm ET
For the die hard Clinton supporters. I am not mad at you if you don't support or agree with Obama, that is your choice and your right. However, I am mad and disappointed if you tell me that you will NEVER vote for him and vote for McCain instead just to prove a point.
I can respect you more if you did not vote for a presidential candidate at all.
KM I totally agree with you. If they vote for McCrazy that tells me what they truly are.
Go ahead, vote Mcbush ladies over fifty, maybe you are just proving to all men that women can not make choices without involving emotions rather than intallect, sound judgement, and facts.
It's always hard when your candidate loses, but, it is honoring Hillary Clinton to vote for whom she feels would be the best choice. Hillary backers that vote for McCain are doing her an injustice!! You will be sorry if McCain is elected and it's four or possibly eight more years of Bush tactics. Think about it carefully!!!
Mary
For someone who is 50 you sure don’t act like it. You say you support Hillary? And what she stands for. But you and your friends??? Are voting for McCain who does not care about you or any of your friends??? So this is how you show Hillary Love and Respect for what she had done. My dear Mary Hillary is not joining the Republican party…
Did you not get the memo. Im a republican and I know better then to vote for McCain.
Wishful Thinking CNN. The lies you tell, the secrets you keep. It's a national poll uhm?....IT DOESN'T MATTER! It's all bout the Electoral College, Stupid. Barack NEEDS 270 EV in Nov, he ain't getting THOSE.
What a load of bull@!#*
Clinton Backers are not moving to Obama.
What's the motto? "If you print it, they'll believe it"???
The Obama campaign has used its financial resources to take over the DNC and is now beginning to patrol the internet for organizations that are opposed to the selection of Barack Obama as the undemocratic Democratic Party’s nominee. The website of our registered organization People United Means Action PAC has been targeted today for a sustained disruption. Their tactics of suppression of Democrats’ voices, so evident during the nomination process, are nothing less than sleazy. Anyone who even thinks about donating money to the Obama campaign must be made aware of the way in which their money is being used to fund a takeover of the Democratic Party and the voices of the people. Wake up now, before you discover that you have unwittingly supported the rise of a tyranny after it is too late.
As an Obama supporter I won't take it for granted that we will automatically get most of Hillary's supporters without a lot of hard work. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. For all of you Hillary supporters thinking about coming aboard the Obama Express I would like to say we want you and we need your help to beat McCain. If you help us now we will help Sen Cllinton if she decides to run in 2012. Both groups need each other to accomplish what each of us want. Please consider that. Also, beware of Republicans in Democrats clothing coming in here trying to stir up trouble between our two groups. Team Obama welcomes you with open arms.
It's not Obama's doing. Most women voting for Obama feel like they have to. I haven't heard a word from Obama to start any healing. I'll vote for him because Hillary asked me to but I'm still angry and nothing is "healed."
Women supporters of Hillary Clinton who are saying they will back John McCain should realize this: An Obama election shatters the wall that historically has stood between everyone other than white males and the Presidency. Once that wall is gone, the way will be much clearer for others to ascend to the highest elected office.
You may be sorry that the trail is not being blazed by Hillary, but you should support the blazing of the trail. Where Obama goes today, others will follow tomorrow; maybe even Hillary.
L-tran, that works out to 3 to 1 in favor of Obama. Sounds pretty good to me. Obama is the greatest! Together we can!
I have a 16 year old son. When I see Mr McDepends standing their with Joe Lieberman, all hot for going after that short little guy in Iran, Iwant to lose by breakfast. They see our sons, and our daughters, as cannon fodder.....when you feel bitter over your loss in the primaries, use that thought to clear your minds
So much for those who thought Hillary's word was not good.
Congratulations Mary and all your friends. You've proven to us all that anyone older than 50 really is senile. Thanks!
This democrat, and thousands like me, will NEVER vote Obama. This is just another case of the media darling being crowned the winner before the race even starts.
Im sure CNN will call Obama the winner of the general election within the next few weeks. Hell why should voters even turn out. We should give CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC our delegates and let them decide who our next Preesident shold be...Oh wait....WE ALREADY HAVE!!!
Down with Obama....hes a racist, empty suit and Michelle is an American disgrace. I am especially sick of the JFK references. Michelle is no Jackie and he is no John...and Obama presidency would not be Camelot, Compton maybe but not Camelot!
To:
(HILLARY WAS FORCED OUT BY SEXISM!!!)
Hillarey was not forced out by sexism she lost fare square. Stop making excuses.
And crying over spilled milk. If anything she did not play by the rules. Truing to count Fl and MI with she agreed that they would not count. I call that cheating
Obama is such a fraud. Learn more every day about him.
Glad some of you are anxiously awaiting your taxes raised and jobs lost.
Some people are soooo short sighted.
The only poll I will pay attention to is the one done in SECRET on NOv. 4.
McCain 08
What a lie! There goes the media again. We may not vote for JM, but one thing is for sure we don't believe in BHO, his charm and his rhetoric! Voting for BHO would also be voting for Ophra, Wright, Pfleger, Michelle, Matthews, Dowd, Williams, Cohen, Dean, etc. etc. etc. If I was a supporter I would have told these people to keep their mouths shut. Next time they will learn to do so. My vote is my vote and it's not moving to BHO!!! It has nothing to do with being "rabid" as one said here, but more that we never have and never will believe in him. Those type of comments make me even more sure that I will not vote for him. Keep it up! You've done a good job. I told my self from day one I would never vote for him. I didn't just make that decision. If it were anyone else but BHO I would cast my vote, but it's not.
When he loses blame those that were fooled by his charm.
I am a life long democrat and I will NOT be voting for Obama. There is something fishy about him that has not come out. It will and heaven help us when it does. I am telling you this man is as slick as a snake!
wow, 3 whole points
Thank You Hillary supporters. I knew that you would come around. It will not be right to vote for McCain and she supports Obama. Regardless of whom he will pick for VP. Surely Hillary is a champion in her own right. Well done Hillary you put up a good fight and both candidates had everyone watching. Hold your head up high and keep encouraging everyone to do the same. Be not ashame.
To all other Hillary supporters,put yourself in her shoes, could you have done what she did? I know for myself I would have been drop dead tired but she kept on plugging in.
She bowed out gracefully and backing Barack Obama 100%. She is going full speed ahead. What happen in the past is over and time to move on and not wallow in the gutter. Get up and stand up straight and be counted. Both of them went at it very hard. It was a race for the White House and surely there was one who will win and one who will lose. Both candidates are very concerned about our future and the future of the next generation.
Again Thank You
I don't believe come november Hillary supporters will vote for Mccain. The media continues to stress this fallacy based on a subjective poll during the primary. The media should start surveying the number of republicans that will vote for Obama in november...myself incuded.
Randy, you are not a true Democrat if you are voting for Mccain because Hillary lost. Vote Obama in november for the sake of our economy and our country.
don't tell me the hillary supporters are using reason, to cast their votes, instead of blind emotional spite. I thought they were supposed to be uneducated.
Bush ran a tyrannical and unaccountable regime for two terms as president of the United States.
Obama Is to run a tyrannical and unaccountable regime within the Democratic Party.
AND BOTH WERE SELECTED, NOT ELECTED!
PUMA PAC
little m
let me make it simple for you. Obama = change McCain = some old crap.
Well, I'm 60 and I'm a woman, so guess that makes me an "older female" voter.
Nope, BHO, I won't be switching my support over to you. I won't vote for McCain either. Right now, I'll probably just stay home on election day– for the first time ever since I was able to vote. Why? I just don't trust you. There is just something, some kind of vibe I get when watching or listening to you, that just makes me really really really suspicious of you. Well, and then there's the fact that your supporters at the TX primary caucuses were bullies who treated some of us like we were total idiots. I've been involved in election campaigns since I was in high school, and I've never seen such coercion and arrogance in my life.
So, no BHO, you won't get my vote. (You do know Texas is probably going to go "red" don't you. I think Clinton could have carried this state, but not you. That's a LOT of electoral votes to lose, too.)
Have you noticed that those who say they will never vote for Obama have one very basic common thread....they are not good at math.
Hey listen, there is this small thing called statistics where to get a general feel of the population, you need just poll a representative sample. Now I know there are some of you McCainites who insist they were never polled so the data cannot be true...now see what you missed for dropping out of school? Don't you think your kids deserve better :}?
Put in the office a guy with a vision, not a guy with a skin color that closely matches yours. If you were ready to vote Hillary, then Obama is the next best thing compared to Hillary. Don't cut off your right foot to spite your left foot. You are the one who will be in clutches if you do that :}
This is nothing but propaganda. He may get a handful, but the truth of it is millions and millions of Senator Clinton supporters and voters are organizing against Obama, and will be either voting McCain or writing in her name. See you in Nov. and don't believe this ridiculous propaganda!!!!!!
Where does CNN get these polls? Not from me. I have backed Hillary for three years on Yahoo I would post "Buy one get one free Hillary & Bill in the Whitehouse in 08". I will never vote for Obama. This was just like 2000 all over again the people don't get who they vote for. I will not vote or I will vote for McCain. Never Obama, not an Arab.
It isn't what McCain stands for that has us flocking away from Obama – it is OBAMA himself.
It isn't being a 2 year old,
it isn't having a temper tantrum,
it isn't being a Republican in disguise,
it isn't being a RACIST because we don't believe in the candidate or the DNC and
it is all about HIM and HIS WIFE.
It is a VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE in OBAMA
To any Hillary supporter that will vote for Obama I just want to say thank you. Democrats need to unite against McCain. This country cannot survive 4 more years of Bush policy and 4 more years of pointless war. Obama supporters be gracious towards our fellow democrats we are all in this together.
REALLY...ANOTHER MEDIA TACTICS BY TELLING THE WRONG POLLS!!!!
Upset Hillary supports please if you can “STAY ON TASK”
Let the bitterness go, it only clouds your mind.
Hillary supporters go to JustSayNoDeal – No to Obama
This site will allow you to sign a petition to either not vote or vote McCain.
You can also search your state to see if you can write in Hillary if you wish.
I was a hillary supporter, but I am going to vote based on my values, and Obama represents those values, Obama 08
The Republicans that are posting things thanking the "democrats" that say that they will vote for McSame come November because they are mad about hillary not getting the nom....They are SHOWING you guys what McSame is for...He's against women's right to choose, he wants us to fight Iran as well as Iraq, and endless war to push our values on others...READ what they are saying. Think about what you would be doing to our country by voting for McSame. Either vote democrat or stay the hell home. Geesh. This country is going to suffer if you guys don't wake up.
If you are really a democrat do NOT vote for a Republican. You are just punishing yourself and your country ...and for what? Voting ? Omg.
This is just the media trying to spin it in favor for Obama again. Six women in my family will be voting for Nader.
I am one Clinton voter who will not vote for Senator Obama. Senator Obama has no experience and I do not trust him.
To those of you claiming these polls cannot possibly be correct: just because the Hillary supporters who are vowing not to support Obama are the loudest doesn't mean they are the majority.
I don't think so. Loyal Hillary supporters have not forgotten the treatment by BO supporters nor they will in November. I will vote McCain NEVER BO! Hillary can endorse him all she wants but I cannot bring myself to vote for a racist bigot like BO! And he didn't win this election fair and square – he got it by committing fraud. As a precinct capt for the Clinton campaign – I can tell you there is not too many us "loyal supporters" who will vote for BO. And I will not vote for him even if Hillary is VP – she would do all the work and he would get all the glory and if anything were to go wrong (which it will) she would get blamed for it because baby BO couldn't handle it and would give a press conference throwing his grandma, his pastor and now Hillary under the bus. And I can't stand ugly Michelle – he/she is not First Lady material.
The more name calling I read by the Obama supporters the more concerned I become. Folks, Obama is not God he is a man and he has baggage. Read the Time article that ran on the internet today. He is being funded by a major TV person. These funds have changed hands to the little people during the past year. The point is, he is a politican or he would not be where he is today. The democrats need to be prepared for the all the disclosures yet to come. If we continue to be blind and name call we will lose.
He is not getting my vote. I am a Hillary supporter and will always stand by her. However, supporting Obama will not be one of her advizes I am willing to follow. His campaign played the race card shamefully. The media was extremely biased and unfair to her. So McCain will get my vote because at least he is an honest man. Obama is not.
Well this is one Clinton Supporter who hasn't been won over and doesn't expect to be. The man is far to inexperienced to be put in charge of running this country. If all things were good...as they were in the 90's I wouldn't have a problem with him learning on the job...but that is not the case and the American people best wake up to that fact.
I don't get why some Hillary supporters refuse to support Obama. I would agree that there was some sexism during the primary season, but I did not see any of that from the Obama campaign and absolutely none from Obama himself. What I did see came from the media – you can't hold that against Obama. At the same time, I think it's fair to say that any male candidate with the exact same experience, credentials, and support as Hillary would have been forced to end their campaign much earlier than Hillary did. So to some degree I think her gender helped keep her in the race.
What's worse is the Hillary supporters who claim to now support McCain. If she were the nominee against McCain, THEN you'd see the sexism out in full force. And if McCain wins, you'll also see your right of choice taken away, along with your pensions, jobs, educational options, and probably your sons and daughters who are serving in the miltary.
If you cannot vote for your own interests, at least don't vote against them (or your fellow Democrats).
I certainly won't be voting for Senator Obama so please media stop the hype as many of us who voted for Hillary will NOT VOTE FOR SENATOR OBAMA ) or MC CAIN.
He would not get my vote . Too many boneheaded mistakes and I dont understand the change he talks about. He is wrapped around by Chicago and Washington Politics.Which one would anyone choose?
It makes a great deal of sense for Hillary supporters to switch to Obama. I don't believe for a second that there will be too many like the bitter types that populate these blogs saying they'll never vote for Obama and would give their vote to McCain. I've been around internet blogs and forums long enough to know that the people writing in them are mostly the same all the time and of a limited number. We're not worried about the few dozen or even the few hundred writing in these blogs. Most Americans are sensible and are not likely to hijack their children's futures just because their favorite person lost.
We have tried the Republican way of economic policy for 8 years. It failed and it continues to the path of depression. We have to stop McCain.
By the way, someone is racking up record profit on Oil. They know the good time will end if Barack is elected president.
fight the liberal media-
how in the world is someone a thug who was editor of the Harvard Law Review and taught constitutional law? Who lives in one of the most integrated neighborhoods in Chicago?
what happened to "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen?" Got news for all of you bitter people–a lot of people voted for Obama TOO.
I would like JUST ONE person who claims they are voting for McCain (or not voting at all) instead of Obama (Clinton backers) to give me a coherent, policy-oriented answer as to why they would choose getting about 0-5% of their chosen candidates's agenda accomplished, as opposed to 90-95% (with minor differences in health care, which given a choice between HRC's plan and none at all, I think Barack would be happy to approve if you paid attention to the man).
I have yet to see one.
This means no answers like "he's a loser, an empty suit, he has no experience, he lies, etc etc" that we have already seen. WHY did you vote for Hillary (if it was just because she was a woman, that's really no better than someone voting for Barack b/c he's Black, which MORE people seem to have a problem with for some odd reason).
If it was because she's white, or she's better known, at least be HONEST. By the way, as a Black man, I say....It's OK to be a closet racist, just be true to feelings instead of making up excuses lol.
If it's based on policy position (you know, the stuff that actually affects our daily quality of life...duh), then WHY is it such a big deal? I really need to know.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to my fellow sisters in joining us to stop McBush from having George Bush's 3rd term. You have my gratitude and appreciation.
Women for Obama!
A wise choice, Hillary supporters! Had the tables been turned, you'd have all told us Obama supporters to grow up, suck it up, and get on board.
Those of you still firmly entrenched in the idea of voting for the guy who's getting older and having more senior moments every day......ask yourselves if that's what you REALLY want for your daughters, granddaughters, nieces, etc. as well as sons, grandsons, nephews. Do you want more of the same ilk on the Supreme Court as the five who gave the Lame (nee Daffy) Duck his job in the first place??? Do you want people like that dictating/deciding your daughters' rights, not to mention other important issues?
Please THINK before you go off half-cocked like the current occupant of the White House!
Not all of us are going over until we know Hillary is going to be his VP.
look at it this way: With Obama we live
With Mc old we will die
Democrats unite save yourself from the ruins
and to those of you who claim you are a democrat but won't vote for Obama then stay home and have mommy change your infancile diapers
No way will this registered Democrat support Obama instead of Hillaary Clinton...Too many unanswered questions about him..
The pollsters haven't spoken to any of the Hillary supporters that I know!!! The media has been reporting the slanted story in favor of Obama since the beginning of this. You helped him win the primary over Hillary, the general election is another story. Nice try,,,,,
I believe in Hillary. Hillary believes in Obama. I will follow her lead.
Give me a break!! If I hear once more that the democratic party conspired against Clinton, I'll puke. The democratic party was lined up *for* her (she had a 100+ superdelegate lead over Obama at the start of the race). It was simply her campaign's strategic and tactical blunders that cost her, not the DNC.
So, let's talk about her great experience? Eight years as first lady? C'mon folks! What about Bush's experience made him a great president? Nothing....
It's about who a president surrounds her or himself with and so far Obama has done a very good job. Going from being an unknown to the Democratic Presidential candidate is quite a feat, especially as an African-American.
Why are you democrats fighting for? At least you have one of the two best candidates on the ticket in november. We republicans have one of the worst, John McCain. I will vote democratic.
To my understanding this is wonderful news and those who are still upset and bitter you can not says you are true democrat, myself voted HILLARY but we must come to term about the real issue here a vote for MCBUSH is a big slap in the face of HILLARY after all she was competing to beat MCBUSH in NOV, but never ment to be so unite and for OBAMA and if you still bitter about HILLARY lost, so are mine but we need to rise above that and vote for OBAMA.
This is good news, but not a surprise. In the end, the democratic party will unite not so much for Obama but for the good of our country. We must have a change of direction. We can not afford to keep going as we have because the problems are too great to ignore. We must address the mortgage crisis, rising energy costs, the war in Iraq, healthcare, and global warming. We can not afford to wait 4 more years to begin working on a solution.
Another wishful thought....Obama does not have our votes...if we had wanted him we would have voted for him to begin with. His lack of experience, poor judgement in social events, mentors, and churches, is someone I can not trust with my future. We can all paint a pretty picture with words and promise anything to anyone. Say what you are going to do and do what you say is not one of Obama's qualities. I am a Clinton supporter and even if Hillary was in the V.P. seat on this flight to the White House I won't fly. In fact the D.N.C. has once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. I have jumped over the fence and choose to vote for the lessor of the two evils McCain.
NOT this one Obama! Still voting for Hillary.
lol. He certainly doesn't have my support, my father's, mother's, brother's, his wife, my parent's friends and their three children.
Common sense and women are synonymous.........
We may not like the hand we are dealt sometimes, but common sense 9 times out of ten dictates our actions.
Obama 08
WOMEN are NOT STUPID!!!!
No Hillary for VP, no Obama for president.
"Haha! you were fooled by republicans into voting for them, and now you're too poor to breathe!"
I've been looking forward to the day when stupidity becomes painful. It almost sounds worth being subjected to the results of other peoples' bad decisions, just to laugh at the situation they got themselves in. Such terrorists (i.e. people who are responsible for america's pain) do not deserve a better world anyway...
This makes sense unless the Clinton supporters were just voting for a woman as opposed to the issues.
This country cannot survive 4 more years of republican domination.
I welcome the Clinton supporters to the Obama group.
This is the first election of my lifetime that I have even considered voting republican. I don't understand the attraction to Obama, he does nothing for me. I guess America's hiring policy..... the wrong person for the job., is here to stay. Sad.
Like Obama needs those losers.
Clinton Democrats for Mc Cain '08
NO CLINTON ON THE TICKET – NO OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
Obama has NO substance. Go back and watch the debates- it is obvious who has a better grasp of the issues. Obama was sold to the people by the biased Media who have always hated the Clinton's, but somehow have given Bush and now Obama a free ride.
I will pick prose(the ability to govern) over poetry(the ability to give a good speech-off a teleprompter) any day.
NO CLINTON NO OBAMA
And to all of you Sebelius supporters- What is your rationale. Any woman will do. Give me a break. That would be the ultimate slap in the face to Clinton and her 18,000.000 supporters.
To all Clinton supporters supporting McCain I have one question. WHY?
He is the total opposite of all the issues that have been a central part of Hillary's campaign. Reproductive rights, the economy, the war, healthcare, etc.
How can anyone who has paid any attention to this election switch from Hillary to McCain. It's like a little kid who would rather break his toy rather than share it. Totally irrational.
Vote Democratic 2008
Vote Obama and his choice
Unlikely.
I voted for Clinton, now I will vote for Obama. McCain is a nice person but he will not change many of the current policies.
All of you Hillary fans should listen to your choice of candidate.
She's asking you to support Obama and the Democratic party.
She is not spewing sour grapes for losing and asking you to vote for McCain or to stay away from the polls. She wants you step into the voting booth and do what's best for our country.
GO!!! BHO 08
More media spin and lies
I'm a woman and a Hillary supporter. Although her speech was great, I can not, and will not, vote for either Obama or McCain. I will not bend anymore to this patriarchal society that runs women's lives. Where is my equal pay? What about my respect? Who will be my voice?
Hillary should run independent!!! Obama does not have this vote. Get some more polls!
So, the media is to blame, Obama is a liar and if you don't get your way, you'll vote for McCain out of spite. If so, be ready for no social security, sending, another generation (or two) of sending our children to war, the abolishment of Roe vs. Wade and continued decline in wages and personal rights and ever growing costs for food and fuel, just to name a few immediate problems.
After this all takes place, will you have the guts to proudly announce you voted for McCain because Senator Clinton wasn't the democratic nominee/VP or will you silently sit and realize that your immature views caused more problems our children will inherit? Are you one of those people who spit on troops returning from Vietnam but now have several "support the troops" magnets on your SUV?
What really scares me is that the proper thing may be derailed by illiterates who seem unable to spell the simplest of words or form a basic sentence, as many who posted their drivel here. We are in trouble as a nation when the lowest common denominator of humanity rules our destiny, or at least believes that it does.
I don't believe Hillary had all those women voters People said she had in the first place. Everyone act like women over 50 are stupid.
Go Obama 08
No Hillary and No Bayh for VP
Ofcourse they will join and support Barack. No thinking tank will vote for McBush except his crooks and those living inside a box.
If I was a vegetarian and I ate some bad tofu, should I start to eat meat? No.
You should have a basis of morals that ideally represent you. It's more understandable to not vote, but to basically vote opposite of what you were supporting is irresponsible. You should vote for a candidate because you support his or her ideals, but not because of aggression or defiance. How could you support Clinton, then change allegiance to McCain?
Obama won the nomination. He won the most votes, states, and delegates (when you consider caucus states and give Obama at least 3/4 of Michigan's 'undecided'). Clinton ran a competitive campaign, but in the end Clinton's and Obama's policies are very similar and Obama is clearly ideal to McCain.
Obama 08!
not for obama ,he will raise taxes ,where do you think all those billions he want to spent is coming from, our pockets ,he does not want to drill here in usa for oil , but want our billions go to people who hate us, he is a wolf in sheep clothen ,,beware ,do not fall for his trick talk ,the only change he will do is another CARTER TERM ,
Al, get it straight Obama didn't cheat the voters in Michigan and Florida. The politicians in these states took a chance and in doing so screwed themselves and their constituency.
You also need to take a look that both these primaries were moved up wih the blessing of the Republican governors who are in office. Any yet still we are still fighting amongst ourselves. Get straight and re-direct all that anger towards the Republicans who help create that mess.
Get it straight and vote your conscience. If you believe what the Republicans are selling; then vote for them, but if you don't ,vote for Obama.
Obama 08......................
I am horiffied at watching the work of the stupifyingly biased big business media attempt to destroy the very good name and lifetime of public service of HRC.
This was supported by the Democratic hierarchy and because of the fact that they refused to count our votes and give the rightful winner the nomination I withdrew from the party. The democratic party is over.
They now share the corruption of the Republicans who stole the election for Bush, they are no different! My vote will be a write in for Hillary Clinton or McCain.
The rampant corruption, anti Americansm and aggression spurred by Obama and his flock are the worst I've ever seen in a primary. He is the devil in disguise.
NOBAMA NO WAY!
I love Hillary with all my heart and I wanted her to be the next president because I loved her as 1st Lady! But if you think just b/c she didn't win I will vote for McBush like alot of her supporters or fake republicans posing as her supporters say you are CRAZY!!!!!
A vote for McBush means my sons going to war b/c they will need someone to pay for college since I won't be able to afford it!
Let's be clear here – Obama supporters don't like Clinton supporters, and Clinton supporters don't like Obama supporters – we all know the reaons why so let's just get over that now!
The state of the country is in jeopardy here – we need to unite and take back the WH.
Let's stop all the back and forth – it doesn't accomplish anything.
There are bigger issues at stake than who said what about whom – we have a very serious problem with our country and we need to do something about it now!
Let's get Obama into the WH first and then argue about who get's what post in his administration after that!!!
If you are a Clinton fan and still threatening to vote for McCain – then shame on you!
YAWN
There's only three kinds of people still rooting for Hillary to be President this year: people trapped in wells with no television, groupies who care more about visualizing themselves in Hillary's place as a means of psychological fulfillment than her issues, and Republicans trying to pull a con on everyone (far most numerous).
Anyone who looks at McCain's abysmal record on women's issues (including a zero rating from Planned Parenthood and voting against pay equality, funding for outreach programs to prevent teen pregnancies, and stated his desire to overturn Roe v Wade as recently as 2007) cannot say they're voting for him because they're fighting sexism. It's a bald-faced lie. Don't kid us and don't kid yourself-you don't care about Hillary or the issues she believes in, or you'd vote for Obama-winner of the primaries and next President of the United States.
and exactly who are they asking? I fanatically supported Hillary but no way will I support Obama, read the news people, we're on the verge of another war, now with IRAN!! Sorry, my life is more important than my checkbook at the moment. Obama wants to "HAVE TEA and CRUMPETS" with the enemy..?? I say- NUKE EM MCCAIN!!
Don't call yourself a Hillary supporter and cast your vote for John McCain...call yourself oppressed.
McCain has an abysmal record on Women's rights, he voted "no" on The Equal Rights Amendment, "no" to women in the military, but "yes" to the trillion dollar war. Fiscal Coneservation...my patootie.
John McCain: Experience we can't afford.
He also left his paraplegic (ex) wife to date Cindy McCain. Nice.
This is indeed good news- as most of us hoped, most Hillary supporters realize that McCain is pretty much the opposite of Hillary in every way.
Many of you who CLAIM to be Hillary supporters who would support McCain over Obama, even after Hillary's very gracious and wise speech the other night, are either very stupid, or else you're just Republicans who are trying to stir up trouble for our side.
You republicans must be desperate. I'm going to REALLY enjoy watching you lose to Obama.
Oh yes. Obama, the great uniter – unless you happen to be one of the 18,000,000 people who voted for Hillary – and unless you happen to be one of those who won't get coverage under his health plan. So much for UNIVERSAL health care. Obama – the great uniter of a third of all America!!!!! If I wanted a split country, I would have voted for GW.
Loyal Clinton voters switching to Obama is an oxymoron, moron. Truly loyal Clinton voters couldn't possibly vote for Obama. Heck, his wife knows that because she said she wouldn't vote for Hillary if the situation was reversed.
that's a lie. my husband and his family will never vote for Obama. I heard many people saying they won't vote for Obama. I have been shattered since Hillary was out. I am shattered by the way the democratic party treated Hillary. I feel as a woman that in the way the media and the democratic party and the people treated Hillary is a very good reflextion on how women are treated in this society. I am broken hearted and I will never vote for Obama. and the cnn media has been cencoring my posts for months, because I support Hillary. This has been the most unfair campaign and the women voices were shut down just like you normall do to women in this society. such a shame. but now it is revenge time and you will see coming November that a a lot of people will vote for McCain instead of Obama. these are all lies. the media and democratic party have been manipulated the people so well. but coming November the voices of the wonded women and senior citizens will speak up and McCain will win not Obama.
Is this the part where we're supposed to act surprised?
C'mon, after all the barking from Limbaugh to switch sides, the media swearing off Hillary's votes to anyone but Obama, didn't anyone else figure that 8 years of Republican rule would be enough to unite the Democrats behind their candidate regardless of who it turned out to be.
The writing's been on the wall on this for a long time. Ask anyone out there if they are better of now after Dub-ya's reign of stupidity and you'll see the fuel that will light a million votes against ANY republican presidential candidate. John McCain may have the worst timing in election history right now and is standing in front of a freight train with no brakes and a desire for a change of policies. The continuation of those now being spewed out of the White House is gonna grate a lot more than the Dems this fall.
Expect a few Republican's to jump the fence.
