Clinton hasn't made a public appearance since she dropped her White House bid in Saturday.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Her every step over the last 17 months was captured by a legion of cameramen and a press corps of journalists from around the world.

But for the last seven days, Hillary Clinton has been nowhere to seen, and Washington is speculating about where exactly the ubiquitous New York senator has gone.

WATCH: What will Clinton do now?

Is she camping out in her Georgetown home or is the former presidential candidate back at her Chappaqua estate? Perhaps she ventured to an isolated vacation spot, far removed from cable news and the political chattering class.

Members of her formal presidential campaign and her Senate staff aren't saying.

"She's enjoying some much-needed time with her family," said a staff member for her former campaign who asked not to be identified.

The two-term senator has a day job to return to, though no public events have yet to be scheduled and Clinton's Senate office is giving few clues on when she might return to the Hill.

"She'll be back before you know it," Philippe Reines, a senior adviser to Clinton said.

Laying low after a hard-fought presidential campaign is not exactly out of the ordinary.

After the 2000 presidential election, former Vice President Al Gore largely dodged the public eye, only to emerge six months later with a full beard. In 2004, John Kerry too took some down time after his loss to President Bush, though the Massachusetts Democrat was back in the Senate just over a week later.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton on Thursday made his first public appearance since his wife formally dropped her presidential bid, speaking at the eighth grade graduation of his nephew in Torrance, California.

WATCH: Clinton formally ends her campaign

According to the local paper, the Daily Breeze, the former president spoke for about 10 minutes and avoided any mention of the presidential campaign.

Good to hear. Hopefully she will find peace.

Marge Hibbing Mn   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

i think she deserves a vacation. Standing up to the MSM< the republicans and worst of all the thugs in the obama support group and obama himself earns her a few weeks off.

They baby obama would have disappeared for good if he had had to put up with the crap Hillary had endured.

Hillary supporter   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Good grief. Give Hillary a much needed break. Some of you act like it is no big deal to lose a presidential nomination, like it is equated with running for your high school president. She will be back and continue to do the good work she has done. I am sure Hillary will be back to help Obama win.

Jean, NY   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

She is not in Newyork and we don't need her. Clintons just like manipulating people for their own benefit. Let her go away and make speeches to foreign goverment and recover her debt. Time to move on!!
By the way she misled 18million people that voted for her by driving that story line without using the score card to know when to drop out. She wasted her time,money and energy. Let her go away with her cheating husbad. Thank God she didn't get a chance to mislead 309 million people that are living in America and many more that are around the world!

tim   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

I call this one, "Obama vs Change"

Senator Obama: Change!

Change: What?!

Senator Obama: Change!

Change: What?!?!

Senator Obama: Change!

Change: WHAT?! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I'M HERE ALREADY! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!

LOL!!!

carmen   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

This is Hillary at her best, out of the way.

Matt CO   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter, Give her some space she will be back. . . .
As VP or just a big supporter. Let see how long you need to decompress after fighting for a job for 18 months and not getting it by relatively small margin. Come Dems lets collect our selves and get the republicans out of the white house! If you need time to unite . . . take it, but please come back to the party and lets start righting some wrongs

Pappu   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

You mean you want her back so you can continue to beat up on her? Shame on you CNN and the rest of the media.

Happy in CT   June 13th, 2008 2:53 pm ET

Just Kidding…. She needs a rest in Hawaii….

But to be honest I'm not sure How the Obama campaign treated her so bad. I think it was Definately the Media(FOX "news")… & the Republicans… I saw the Obama camp playing more defense than anything.

Why "HATE" Obama… disagree w/him okay… But HATE him?

You guys should see how law works… it sucks most of the time but If you can recognize where the red-tape & pitfalls are you'll be okay in this government. that was the only key differences in their campaigns.

I still Love Clinton,,,,

Mike   June 13th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

WHO IN THE HELL CARES WHERE HILLARY IS…I'M JUST GLAD SHE'S GONE….THIS POLITICAL PROCESS FROM THE START WAS SO EXCITING FOR ALL AMERICAS, PEOPLE WERE TALK ABOUT POLITICS, EVERYWHERE YOU WENT WITH EXCITEMENT.

HILLARY TOOK ALL THAT AWAY, SHE PLAYED DIRTY POLITICS, USED THE WOMAN GENDER TO SUIT HER, SHE BROUGHT RACE IN THE VENUE, SHE JUST DESTROYED THAT JOY THAT EVERYONE HAD, NOW THE PARTY IS AT ODDS, HER SUPPORTERS ARE DECALRING THAT THEY WILL VOTE FOR THE OTHER PARTY, FOR SURE HILLARY DESTROYED IT ALL…THIS ELECTION HAS LOST IT'S EXCITEMENT THANKS TO HILLARY..

SO I SAY GOODRIDDENS, YOU DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY AND THE PARTY IN A MATTER OF TWO WEEKS…IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HILLARY IS NOT A PERSON WHO COULC UNITE PEOPLE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PRESIDENT….NO WAY…

Steve   June 13th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

Who cares ! Maybe she will just fade away. Just remember, the Dems will raise your taxes, then watch you complain.

Cynthia   June 13th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

I hope that she is somewhere getting some much needed rest after a hard fought campaign.

Gideon   June 13th, 2008 2:52 pm ET

I certainly hope she's enjoying her vacation while all her unpaid vendors are losing their businesses.

Ted R. from NYC   June 13th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Hillary Clinton may be flying under the radar right now, but she hasn't gone anywhere. Has anyone noticed that it's been almost one week since her "concession" speech and not one word has been uttered by her in support of Obama? The reason is probably that, behind closed doors, she is still trying to convince the superdelegates to change their minds and select her for the nomination at the convention.

By the way, did anyone else take note that she was the only healthy non-campainging Senator not to be present for the vote on oil drilling earlier in the week?

CNN must have a comment limit they stop posting my stuff   June 13th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

I'm sorry I thought she lost the race. Why are we concerned about Hillary’s whereabouts? Let her take a breather gosh. How about the media focus on the two actual candidates, Obama and McCain.

Selina   June 13th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

she's probably afraid to get stoned by CNN…and a FOOL beard like Richardson: I don't think so.

Tim   June 13th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

We're now have 95 years to go till we leave Iraq per Senator McCain’s 100 year prediction.

BEWARE!!!
A lot of NEOCONS posing as Clinton or Obama supporters are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

Well deserved vacation..

Oh…!!! Ken take a pill…

Carl in Westchester NY   June 13th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

I agree, CNN and the rest of the press pretty much destroyed Mrs Clintons campaign, now just leave her alone.

This liberal democrat is sick of the liberal bias press! Especially CNN and NBC.

Brandon Hillary Democrat for Mc Cain   June 13th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Hillary or Mc Cain no bama !!

We will remember in november !

Vig   June 13th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Clinton supporters have under taken a write-in campaign for her endorsement on the November ballot. Clinton was the victim of a "disappearance" campaign by the controlling media, similar to what dictators do to individuals who threaten the status quo – they make them disappear. B.O. was the beneficiary of HRC's degrading treatment – never said a word -actually seemed to be enjoying it. How can anyone endorse someone who benefits off the degradation of someone else?

Bob Stephens   June 13th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

She is probably meeting with John McSame looking for a VP slot on his ticket.

If not Hillary....then McCain   June 13th, 2008 2:50 pm ET

Must be a slow news day, you couldn't wait to get rid of her….now you wonder where she is….

I hope she is enjoying herself away from the mainsteam media piranhas.

Julian M.   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Dear CNN,

If you insist upon being considered a well respected news organization, please screen your articles for grammatical errors. This is the umpteenth instance where one of your online authors has written with a third grade student's grasp of the English language.

It is commendable, however, that he or she used his dictionary.com widget to find the word "ubiquitous".

James   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

I think where ever she is is right where she needs to be , it aint` about Hillary anymore. She needs to just do what ever she wants from here. Barack can handle McCain .

Democrat AGAINST Obama   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

She has every right to every free moment she can get. CNN as well as other media outlets have kicked her down these last several months.

I will never vote Obama.

Tim,Ohio   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Clintons should stay away from the sportlight. When Hillary started attacking Obama(shame on you barack Obama!) here in Ohio, my wife and I could tell our daughter that was not how to win if your opponent is ahead. At last the winner who was winning honorably won and now it is time to move on and forget about the clintons.
Go Barack me and my family have your back here on Ohio!

eam   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

NO THANKS. I WILL WRITE HILLARY IN. I WILL NOT FOLLOW THE HERD HE DOES NOT GET MY VOTE. I WILL NOT BE PART OF RACIST BLACK AMERICA. AFTER ALL 20% OF ALL HATE CRIMES IN AMERICA WHERE DONE BY BLACKS.

Michael Lorton, Virginia   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Either CNN is gathering the responses or it might appear that Hillary's absence from the public is moot. Now we can miss her, because she is gone.

M&M   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Agree with Tom. Hope she will not join to Obamas circus.

Jj24   June 13th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Let it go Tom. Clinton cannot blame the media for a badly run campaign. And it was BADLY run. Her biggest mistakes were Mark Penn and Bill Clinton. She'll bounce back and be stronger than ever and hopefully some of her baggage will disappear.

Women In California for Obama   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Obama supporters – GET REAL. The truth is she did too much damage to EVER put this party together again. She got her wish, I just hope she lives to regret it.

Denise P Quinton   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Can't blame Hillary for hiding out, after the disgusting non- support from her colleagues on Capitol Hill, and the railroading by Obama's team as well as every correspondent on CNN, I would have moved to a Greek island like Jackie O did when she had it with this country.
Hillary never deserved, nor did Bill the treatment they received. Regardless of your political views, she has truly served her country for numerous years and deserved more respect!
Now maybe you can question Michelle Obama and hound her, as she has been more controversial with statements than I have ever witnessed in 60 years as an American! But oh my that might upset OBAMA that you are picking on his wife?

Riddla   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

Its over!

She ran a good campaign, but in the end she lost fair and square. There were biases on both sides. In the end the american people chose Obama.

Cmon CNN…you are reaching she is out of the news cycle. Let it go and move on

MIKE TEXAS   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

I second that! Hillary should run as an Independent!

Dave G   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

To all who are considering voting for McCain, not voting, or writing in Hillary's name in November, please know that this will hurt Hillary Clinton. If she is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as dividing the party and losing the November election to McCain, then her power and influence as a Senator and future candidate will diminish.

At this point, the best thing we can do for Hillary is to do what she says and vote for Obama in November.

On the other hand, if you think another 8 years of war in Iraq would be a good thing, then go ahead and vote for McCain.

Cindy in Charlotte, NC   June 13th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

What difference does it make? She said she was taking a vacation. Why does the media feel it is their business where she takes a vacation?

kim hussein taylor portland, oregon   June 13th, 2008 2:47 pm ET

duuuhhhh, where do you think she is!?!?!? taking a vacation, resting, putting her feet up, SLEEPING, enjoying some SILENCE, not being attacked, having her every move scrutinized, loving her privacy, and best of all NOT HAVING TO TALK TO ANYONE FROM FOX…

leave hillary alone, this is a non-story. she fought a long, hard battle and has earned some peace and quiet!!

Bob   June 13th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

It is good to have Barack Obama. Those nephews and nices of the Clintons and Bushes could have matured and rule this country forever. Thank God the dynasties are broken forever!

Thank you, Mrs. Clinton, for everything you've done for our great country. I hope we see you again in the near future helping elect our Barack to presidency.

Senator Clinton is probably doing work as a United States Senator for the state of New York.

bill for barack   June 13th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

Senator Clinton deserves a rest before the convention.
She'll have plenty of time in the Fall to get out the vote for our next president, Barack Obama.
In the meantime, may she enjoy some well-earned peace and quiet.

Raymond Duke   June 13th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

She needs to avoid this man that the democrat leadership put up as the plague. He is going to lose by an electoral landslide. People are not going to support a person like Obama in the general even though they can't stand McCain. she needs to keep her powder dry and be prepared to win in 2012. If she or Bill campagins for this man and ties themselves in with this racist bigot and his followers she will be dead in 2012. Plus all respect will be lost for her after the democrat party and the Obama camp had the help of the media and labeled them as racist. She needs to run as a indepedent. She would win easily. But if not ,stand back and let the democrat party lose and then whine about it. She will get the blame if he loses anyway.

DEMOCRAT 08   June 13th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

CNN………………..But for the last seven days, Hillary Clinton has been nowhere to seen, and Washington is speculating about where exactly the ubiquitous New York senator has gone……….ON VACATION away from YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous   June 13th, 2008 2:44 pm ET

Last Saturday it was stated she will be on vacation with her family/friend.
Why is the media making this so much more than what it is in their headline news?
The media beat her up during her presidential run and now that she has been out of site for a week, they want to know what she is doing now and why she is not appearing anywhere!
If the media wants to go beat up someone…I believe you have 2 presumptive presidential candiates that could use your attention!
Maybe we should start handing out the pillows for these two men.

sylvia   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Whatever shall the news people do now without Hillary to beat up on and force their gender bias on her. This was the most horriable
form of sexism I have ever seen, The voting public was not to blame ( according to all the votes she got) so I hope the news anchors are very proud of themselves for bringing down a wonderful candidate who would have made a wonderful president. I feel prettysoon a lot of people will be sorry this happened as that empty suit Obama will not make a good president. I am a democrat but plan to vote for McCain.
Obama does not need my vote. He got all the votes from the media.
America is in for even worse now with what is going on. And what about the terriorist friends of Obama and what about the Muslim connection? Remember the Muslims have said they would get the American Infidels and you know they may have figured a way to get in the back door,,,how scarey is that!!!!

Turnabout is Fair Play   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Come out, come out, wherever you are! :-) She's probably still trying to get over losing the nomination. This is not a slight against her but the truth, it happened to Kerry, Dukakis, Gore, and all those who lost the primary race to the nomination. I hope she is okay. To those of you who voted for her in the primaries, my heart goes out to you. I hope she will serve a great purpose in the democratic electorial vote in November. God bless all true Clinton voters. :-)

Obama/Sebelius or Webb '08

CB2   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

And you won't see Hillary. If you make the world think that someone stole the nomination from you. I don't really think you are going to be their biggest cheerleader campaigning for them to get the nomination.

Let's be for real people. Wishful thinking…I hope that once Hillary is well rested should would come out and help bring the democrats together.

Scott   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Hillary still is close enough to the nomination that the super delegates could come around at the convention.

Happy in CT   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

They are secretly doing all that campaigning for Obama……

somewhere far far away… where he needs support… like… idk Hawaii

Cat in pa.   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Now that Hillary has stopped her run, this election coverage is boring.
We only have Mr. Dull or Mr. Duller to vote for.
I will not vote for either of them.

Miss you Hillary.

Seth in Jacksonville, FL   June 13th, 2008 2:43 pm ET

Let the woman take a vacation – she earned it. We'll welcome her back in a couple of weeks to help Obama win in November. We Democrats must not squander the best opportunity in many years to take back full control of Washington and restore America to what it once was.

To ALL Democrats – moderate or liberal, educated or uneducated, men or women, straight or gay, black, brown, or white, urban or rural, Clinton supporters or Obama supporters, and those in between:

Please recognize the importance of putting Obama in the White House and keeping McCain out of it. This is hugely important on so many levels.

Tom   June 13th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Who cares where Hillary Clinton has gone? You guys in the media treated her very unfairly while she campaigned, rarely giving her any good coverage. I only wish she would run as an independent in November. Leave her alone.

Tom

Ken   June 13th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

Now I'm completely confused. Everyone in the press, for weeks, has been saying "Hillary needs to quit", "Hillary needs to leave this race for the sake of the Democratic Party, "Go away Hillary." When she finally does quit and "goes away" for a while, everyone wonders where she is! TOTALLY CRAZY! Here's a hint folks …. always be careful what you wish for. If Obama is lucky, she'll resurface and campaign for him. If I was in her shoes, though, I wouldn't lift a finger to help him or the Democratic Party. She has been treated terribly by the press and by the Obama campaign. If he's so good, let him do all the work himself. I mean … according to the Best Political Team on television … Barak is wonderful … he can do anything! RIGHT????!!!!!

2012   June 13th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

What's the matter, CNN, not getting enough hits on your site from your hate crew? Gotta drag Clinton back in to improve your ratings?

Defeated   June 13th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

Oh, she'll be back on the hill in no time, CNN. Stop trying to make her look bad.

I think she's entitled to a week off. It's only been 6 days since her concession speech. I'm sure she'll be back on Monday. Anyone would need some rest and relaxation after being mauled by the media for 17 months.

Yes, I'm talking to you, CNN.

john   June 13th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

i think she really needs a quite time to meditate about what sunk her campaign starting from her crying to lying about 35yrs of experience bosnia inclusive.i think she needs some time off to ask God's forgiveness

God CNN, give the woman a break…let her breathe. The press can make people feel like hiding or worse commit suicide. She deserves a rest from prying eyes. We all know she will be back some day soon, so just wait like everyone else, and do something more important like the floods in Iowa,,etc.

After the long run on the campaign trail she's probably taking a break. Who wouldn't ?. Let's not speculate, just give her time to unwind, will you ?. I do hope she will keep her word and come out and support Sen. Obama as she said she would, but for the time being, let her relax.

Henrietta Johnson   June 13th, 2008 2:38 pm ET

I would like to share this information about Senator John McCain and his wife after announcing how proud they are to be an America Citizen, and implies that Michelle Obama is not. When Shaun Kennedy interviewed John McCain on Memorial Day, and John McCain stated, he was not proud to an American until after he was captured in the war. I was surprise that Shaun did not follow up on the statement. I would like for someone to investigate this story. I am positive that he made the statement. Afterward my sister and I looked at each other, and said “we can not believe he made that comment and Shaun did not follow it up”!

Kathy   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

aw leave hillary alone!
Let her rest some and get back to what she needs to do. Give the poor woman a break. This whole process was unfair and things did not go the way it she has expected and it's not her fault.

Jan from Boca Raton, Fl.   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Sen. Clinton ran amazing race. Her goal was to fight for the American people as she has over the years.

I think she and Bill should take a vacation for about 6 months so they
don't have to campaign for Obama. The way they were treated by the
media and the Obama campaign was a disgrace. Obama can't
hold a candle to Bill Clinton's butt. He will never be the President
Clinton was or the President Hillary would have been.

The Clinton's are good Christian people, they wear the flag pin,
put their hand over their heart for our National Anthum, and they have been proud of their country their entire lives.

People are sick to death of Obama's "Yes We Can" speeches and to be perfectly honest we are sick of him.

A democrat for 30 years, I will NEVER vote for Obama. I will not vote for someone I don't believe in. I will vote for McCain , he will be a better
President than Obama. I don't want to hear the BS of staying in Iraq
for 100 years, wake up folks, Obama cannot bring our troops home
in 6 months, he's a lair.

Mike, Las vegas, NV   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Regardless of your feelings for Mrs. Clinton, she needs to get away from the media for a while and get some much need Rest. Good for her.

Sal in Phoenix   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Why does anybody need to find her?..she just went through a grueling and disappointing experience…she deserves a rest without media or anybody else around..she'll be seen when she wants to be seen..give it a rest!

Go Girl!   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

HRC deserves some much needed rest. She was working so hard on the campaign trail. We'll see her shining star soon enough. Sending lots of love and support to you, HRC.

Jim   June 13th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

Does anyone really expect Hillary Clinton to step forward and work hard to rally support around Barack Obama? Seriously folks, don't you get it? Bill and Hillary are so much about The Clinton Machine. I don't see that we'll be getting too much help from them to beat McBush in the fall. We've gotta do it for ourselves. Bill and Hillary fight for The Clintons, not the Democratic Party. Wake up.

Mr Brown   June 13th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

tinsel town   June 13th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

She needs some time off! Geez. she ran herself ragged during the campaign. Of course she is going to take some time off away from all the press, etc….. Good for her! She is taking care of herself!

Rahni, Connecticut   June 13th, 2008 2:36 pm ET

Hillary Clinton has a jealous heart although, she said that she support Barack Obama the speech gave was lie and her fake smile told the truth. I voted for Hillary Clinton in our state primary but I will not give my vote to John McCain or a Republican who ran down our economy.

Rahni, Connecticut

Olivia   June 13th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

I don't believe anything the media or polls say. I writing Hillary Clinton in come November or vote for McCain. Haven't decided – one thing I know for sure is that I will not vote for Obama. Christy Adkins said it best – the media (or whatever) to decide her vote. Hillary Clinton was the strongest candiate and he was robbed.

John Anson   June 13th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Its about time she got back to NY and started earning her salary as our junior Senator ! she,s been missing for quite a while.

Connie   June 13th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Clinton needs to "Repent" and turn from sin…her load is heavy before GOD. Obama and John McCain also need to repent. Clinton is one of the worst of all. She plays angel of light but she is full of deception.

Elenadia from New york   June 13th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Give her a break, she needs to decompress! She has been giving huge amounts of time and energy to the primary campaign for a long , long time.

Anyone would need a little family time off. Even though I'm an Obama supporter, I've always liked Hillary as my Senator, and I want her to take sme time to recoup and come out swinging on Obama's behalf, on the behalf of the Democratic Pary, and on behalf of New York state.

That is a lot on her plate, so, I say leave her alone for a couple of weeks.

Hyapathia Lee   June 13th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

Hillary is laying low as she should be … she fought a tough fight and needs to recharge.

Cnn, why are you insisting on trying to keep her on the radar screen?

Obama's stamina is the one being tested. Unlike McCain, he hasn't had a 2 month rest period after the primary .

R   June 13th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

you guys couldn't WAIT for her to get out. Now that she is you guys asking foe her? That's right. Obama needs her and NOW you're realizing this.

Election Watcher   June 13th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Hillary was royally shafted by the DNC and the press.
I would've been enthusiastic over her presidency, but am afraid Obama will turn into the next Jimmy Carter.

She has every right to a long vacation. She has earned a break and a time to mourn her losses. …now if she’s till missing in August, then good luck to her in resurrecting her career.

Michelletheracist   June 13th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

You people Obama supporters and the biased Media wanted her out and now your talking trash about where she is!!
Let Obama do this by himself.
Didn't you guys say Obama didn't need her?
GET A LIFE MORONS…..
It was more exciting when she was in the picture. Now it's so boring.

CNN. plz post this,
Hillary & Bill. remember we love you.
Hillary, plz drop this DNC – they are traitor left wing radicals.
They betrayed their core to embrace completely unexperienced phony candidate and are very happy with young people he brought to them.
Let's they stay happy with them. The way how this party treated both of you after you put your life on democratic issues is disgusting.
Shame on Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, Brazille.
Please drop this party and set a new party – moderate democrats.
Millions of people don't have representation now, because they are not republicans in their heart but at the same time they cannot deal with current DNC anymore.
And plz don't agree on any position in Obama's administration.
He is phony and will have the same results as Carter.
We love you

Carla ON,Canada   June 13th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Hope Hillary gets some need rest after her hard fought campaign.
The DNC basically stole the election from her by giving Obama delegates in MI. I hope she challenges it and makes a comeback in Denver…

Eric   June 13th, 2008 2:31 pm ET

Maybe she just needs some much needed R&R. Let this woman breathe more a moment, and caught her breath.

Charley   June 13th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

How boring without her. Obama and McCain have neither the depth of understanding on issues and everday people to make it interesting or profound. Even Hillary's critics must admit the General election campaign is now a fairly traditional Dem vs Rep snoozefest .- The boyz economic speeches could be Dukkais vs. Bush1 – Obama sounds more like Mondale than some savior -

Oh well – wake me when it's over

Sante   June 13th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

She is definitely the more qualified candidate, to bad what has happened!
I personally suggest, OBAMA to leave her alone.
Let him finally earn something on his own!
VP or NO HELP! That is fare!

18 mil . love you Hillary!

Where's the beef?   June 13th, 2008 2:30 pm ET

Good question. Where is all the support she promised?
Why isn't she backing Obama as promised? Why isn't she joining in the battle against the GOP like she should have been during the primarys? Inquiring minds want to know!

oil rules   June 13th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Once again, why do these politicians get to return to their old jobs that they have deserted for so long to run for another office? This happens on the federal and state level. I know if I wanted to run for an office it would be good-bye job. They should have to resign their post if they are not going to do the work. That would certainly change some minds before they get in to a race. Just feels like a further fleecing of the people and our tax dollars. I know some folks think that the government has plenty of money to spend, just think about where it comes from every now and then.

Betsy   June 13th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

Thank you Hillary. Thanks for all you've done to break barriers for women all over the country.

You may have lost the primaries, but you will not be forgotten.

Enjoy your break, then get back to work on Capital Hill and continue to make us proud.

Tim   June 13th, 2008 2:29 pm ET

She's probably still plotting ways of overthrowing Obama.

Beverly, NYC   June 13th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Wherever she is please stay there until November 5th. It's been lovely not hearing about your popular vote and how everyone done you wrong. Obama is doing just fine without your imput.

Everybody needs a break from time to time and so does Hillary. She lost a hard fought race. Give Hillary her space.

YES WE CAN!

Les-Wa   June 13th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Hillary is taking a vacation after a long hard months of campaigning. Because of Hillary, many Americans have now seen the corruption within the Democratic Party. Many Democrats now are calling themselves "PUMA DEMOCRATS", for that they should be commended. These people are so courageous for standing up and be counted and fight the corrupt primary system of the Democratic Party.

As for Hillary, she'll be written in our history, a QUALIFIED candidate for Presidential election was shafted simply because of her GENDER. Sexism is worse in this country than racism. She would be a very powerful woman in the Senate. Have a good holiday Hillary, you deserve it after a grueling campaign and nastiness spewed by Obama Campaigners and supporters. This lifelong democrat will NEVER vote for Obama, my vote goes to McCain.

DEMOCRATS UNITED AGAINST OBAMA!

Savvy   June 13th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

She deserves to rest for a while. I'm sure she'll be up and at 'em soon, campaigning her heart our for Obama and democrats. I'm an Obama supporter but it's a major adjustment and switching of gears to help someone else get what you want!

Obama '08 baby!

The Truth   June 13th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Shes probably exhausted from all the campaigning and is somewhere taking a long nap and just being away from all of the press and everything else out there.

Even if I'm an Obama supporter, she ran a good campaign and she deserves the rest

Dave, East Aurora NY   June 13th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Hopefully she's taking some time to realize that she is one of two US Senators from New York and she needs to start acting like one, not just saying she is one. She's the first to demand accountability of others while denouncing those who criticize her performance.

Josie   June 13th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

Leave her alone. Let her re-group. Good grief.

Ryuken   June 13th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

She needs the R&R because Obama is going to have to beg her to win this election for him.

Angelina   June 13th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

I see. You treat her like dirt all throughout her campaign, showing biased in favor of Obama, and NOW you wonder where she is.
Leave her alone, CNN!! I'm not even a Democrat and I KNOW she should have been the Democratic nominee. What the DNC did to this woman by pushing superdelegate unity against Clinton was reprehensible. I hope you lose the election because of it.
But you won't print this, because you never print anything truthful or against Obama.

Linda   June 13th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

The poor woman needs a well deserved rest. But she's a fighter, and the best person the Democratic party has to offer, so she will be back We still need her!

Jot   June 13th, 2008 2:26 pm ET

The clintons don't need to work to live. CNN and other media after trushing her are now wondering where she is.What do you care. You elected Obama in the primaries it's not going to happen in the general election. The 18millions who voted for Clinton at least 3/4 of them will vote McCain. The democtratic party and the media will lose this time

Sheila   June 13th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

Can't the woman take a few days off? For God's sake why is the media so obsessed with Hilary laying low for a while. The woman has worked her butt off for the last 17 months. Leave her alone. She's licking her wounds and relaxing. Who's looking for her anyway? Who cares?

DeadEye   June 13th, 2008 2:25 pm ET

17 months campaigning is enough to burn anyone out. IMHO, she has earned the next 12 months off. We here in NY are accustomed to not having a senator of any value working for the state. Maybe Chuck can run for a presidential nomination too – please, take them both.

ck   June 13th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

WHO CARES!!

Just enjoying not having to see her!!!

scottaesmith   June 13th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

I wonder if Mrs. Clinton will emerge six months from today with a full beard…

Seriously, though, she deserves to take some time off and relax. I know that's what I would do.

Independent for Obama   June 13th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

Well, she deserves some time to recover – I hope she's having an island vacation and resting. It was a hard-fought campaign, she worked incredibly hard, and I hope the press gives her some PRIVACY!!!

Jayjay   June 13th, 2008 2:24 pm ET

After the way the media sabotaged her campaign, it's none of their business where she is!!!

"After the 2000 presidential election, former Vice President Al Gore largely dodged the public eye, only to emerge six months later with a full beard."

I think the odds are pretty low that we'll see a bearded Hillary emerge from obscurity any time soon.

Pat-Pittsburgh   June 13th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

Do ya think, just maybe, we could give the lady a break and a little down time.

What, there isn't enough news out there for CNN.

Hillary is going to be just fine, go find someone else to stalk for awhile.

Glad to be an Independent   June 13th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

After a lengthy primary season, she is taking a break. After traveling to so many states and going to all of those events, she is most likely staying away for a little while. Obama should consider her not for the VP but rather the Supreme Court. She could do far more on the Supreme Court than as VP.

Mark, Berwyn, PA   June 13th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

She's taking much needed time with her family? But her "husband" is in CA talking to children. So is she away with her girlfriend on a cozy vacation island somewhere? Whatever, come out of the closet and be honest for once in your life Hillary. But if not, then please, please, just stay away. Far far away. It's so much nicer not reading anything about you these days. What a breathe of fresh air!!!!

robert breault   June 13th, 2008 2:22 pm ET

It's over for you Hillary. Back to New York for you.
The question now is " what are you going to do with Bill?

Irene   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Has Hilary gone to join Waldo or something? Where in the world is Hillary Clinton…sing with me now. I thought she would be working tirelessly with Senator Obama to bring over her voters to him…Actions speaks louder than words, senator Hill.

Kiah   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

You the media kills me…one minute they wanted nothing more than for her to disappear. Now everyone wants to know where she is!

She's vacationing and relaxing. Preparing to alleviate her campaign debt and hit the trail for Senator Obama. She deserved a rest and some R&R away from this fickle media. I'm GLAD she's no longer taking attention away from Obama. She needed to take a step back and allow the country time to distance themselves from her candidacy and it's loss while warming up to Obama.

And that is what she has been doing! So please give it a rest!

Matt, Chico, CA   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

DD, New York   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Despite how everyone else might feel, I love Hillary! If she ran as an independent, I would vote for her. But I really don't think she would break away from the Party.

Matt Canoga Park   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

Who Cares??? She can leave and never come back and that would make over 60% of the US happy never to see her again. But I know we won't get that lucky. But anytime she is not around is a good time.

Jacob Spradlin   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

With 7 months until the election, how important is this? She did say she was taking a little break folks. Taking a break means "not doing something" that you were doing. Let's talk about some issues like the new inflation number!

Obama – 08

I HEARD   June 13th, 2008 2:21 pm ET

I heard that Hilary was retiring to Florida and she is going to open up a theme park and call it HILLARYLAND.

The main attraction will be "Dodging Sniper Fire" a fast paced thrilling adventure that whirls you through imagined sniper fire.

There will be an arcade game entitled "Spin, spin till you win" Narrated by Terry McAuliffe and Lanny Davis.

There will also be a village called Fantasyland, where you will the presidency

KateyGreen   June 13th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

If Hillary is smart, she'll lie low. Obama doesn't need her, and Obama's supporters don't want to hear from her.

jen   June 13th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

I am very concerned how the media coverage has gone during basically what is the first week of the general election. I had always heard that for some unexplained reason McCain was always considered the "media darling". Be it CNN, ABC, CBS or MSNBC (Fox isn't news) It seems that every article is questioning Obama, and how everything outside his control affects his chances in the fall. For example a Representative in OK will not endorse yet no mention of the many Reps that do not support McCain. Next you have story after story about how Michelle Obama is going to be attacked which basically serves the pupose of the sleezballs planning to do the attacking. Next more talk about how Clinton supporters are not going to support Obama with no mention of how many of McCains opponents wont vote for him. Next the headline Obama struggles with Jewish voters, even though he is doing very well with other groups and in fact is not doing that poorly with Jewish voters.Then there is story after story about Jim Johnson and no mention of the person heading up McCains VP search. Then when McCain makes a mistake you search and search to equalize that story with an anti Obama headline. The first week of the media coverage has been crapppppppppp.

Madison   June 13th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Where has Hillary gone and more importantly, can she stay there for a long time?

Michelle D. Atlanta, GA   June 13th, 2008 2:20 pm ET

Best of Luck, Hillary. You stood toe to toe, took the hits and still stood tall and I'm proud of what you did. Would love to see you as VP or in some sort of high cabinet position.

People like you have integrity, good leadership skills and a real desire to see only good things for our country – and Lord knows we need all the help we can get right now after 8 years of Bush destroying our economy and international reputation.

Still have to wonder how things would have turned out if Gore were president. Perhaps things wouldn't be as bad as they are now. Really wish "W" had listened to the people instead of Cheny, Rove and Rumsfield. Oh well, I blame the idiots who voted for him (twice).

Eric   June 13th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Hillary your true supporters understand why you are entitled to some rest and relaxation after such a vigorous campaign. Now watch Obama's supporters start with the "Why isn't she stumping for Obama?" rehtoric.

I hope Hillary doesn't come back in 6 months with a full beard.

David   June 13th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

aware   June 13th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Hillary would do joint-town halls with McCain in a heart beat! :)

Obama doesn't excel in this format to put it nicely! :)

Obama's best format is a speech written by a 26 year old, read from a teleprompter and delivered in Jeremiah Wright style in front of a large crowd!

He is not good one on one or in small groups. He bumbles, stumbles and thinks out loud with long awkward pauses!

But, town hall type gatherings with off the cuff questions and answers are the only way people can really know the candidate up front and personal!

McCain is the only wise choice for 08 since Hillary was canabalised by her extreme left-wing party and the extreme left-wing media. So, vote for the American hero who is in touch with mainstream America!

Oh, I am not a Republican but I will vote for the best candidate to be president of the Unites States of America. :)

Aza   June 13th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

I wish Hillary all of best.Hope she will have some rest and then campaign for our Democratic nominee.
And the best thing she can do for democrats now is critisize McSame
same way she was critisizing Obama,even harder.That will help her supporters who is considering stay home or even vote for warmonger reconsider their position.
In her historic speach endorsing Obama she never said a word about McSame.I will love to see some fight between Obama-Hillary and McSame.

Hillary For President

christina   June 13th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

I'm an avid Obama supporter but I must say that I am shocked that CNN would cover such a story. For goodness sake, the woman just lost her Presidential bid and has to come to reality that while it was so close to her fingertips, it will NEVER happen for her again (for so many obvious reasons including some of those by her own fault). Let the woman "rest in peace". I can imagine how heartbroken she must be to know that she lost to a "no-name black man". My heart goes out to her and I wish her nothing more than the best throughout the "remainder" of her political career (whatever that might be).

OBAMA '08!!!

JIM...TX   June 13th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Wisconsin   June 13th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

As an Obama supporter I don't mind if Hillary takes a few weeks off before she gets to helping Obama.

To all the Hillary or McWar people:

Stop the BS. You might or might not be for Obama, most of the topics Obama and Hillay had are almost the same, BUT if you were truly for Hillary then the LAST thing you would do is support McWar.

Look at Hillary's three top issues.

Hillary: Pro-choice, Pro-Gov health care, Anti-war

McWar: anti-choice, anti-universial health care, PRO-WAR

C   June 13th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

I should hope Hilary will soon start campaigning for Obama. If she is truly for a unified party, she has to put in work to ensure Obama's campaign picks up momentum. If she doesn't it shows some people's views on her are true. That she was out for self and would destroy the democratic party to get her way.

She is sitting back waiting on Obama to mess up and fall in the polls. She is waiting to see if he can obtain her supporters, if he cannot, she will not be seen for some time, but if he can obtain her supporters she will be back out in the spotlight soon pretending to want to help. I truly do not think Obama needs her for anything. I believe he is capable of pulling this off on his own by stayinig on message and the issues and he will do just fine.

hill to Obama   June 13th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Who Cares? Let her be

FRANK   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Clinton democrats for McCain

its your choice Obama, dont make a grave mistake and choose some looser!! we alredy have one looser on the ticket..

Crush Rush   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Check all the bars in Kentucky and West Virginia where she was promised a shot and beer on the house.

James, Redlands, CA   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

I support Obama 100% and feel he has the character to be a great President.

Leave Hilliary alone.

Let her come to terms with her dissapointment.

Obama '08

SAM2008   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Where ever you are I wish you the best in life for you and for your family.
and i hope you back to us again to try to fix the GAS PRICES.

Larry, GA   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

I think she deserves her privacy.

STILL FOR HILL   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Republicans better wake up, or we are going to end up with a socialist president who will bankrupt this country and probably get us into WWIII with his Jimmy Carter style foreign policy.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary

j   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

I think she needs time to go through the process of accepting her defeat. It's only been a short period of time since the primaries ended. Give her some space. She'll come out swinging when she's ready to do so.

George, Los Angeles   June 13th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

I hope that she comes back in 2012. I know McCain is winning 2008. The Clintons are the only ones in present-day that can beat the Republicans. I can't wait for the Democrats to eat crow this November.

Justme WV   June 13th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Hillary is probably somewhere digging up dirt on Barack and Michelle Obama….where ever she is…I hope she stays put.

Ade   June 13th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Can the lady take a much needed break… why dont you try doing this for 17months and then get insulted by everything you do. I THINK YOU WILL WANT A VACATION. Cnn can you just let her be and leave her alone after all your negative comments what else do you want to say now. Its not your business where she is

Bob   June 13th, 2008 2:13 pm ET

Hillary? A full beard? Now that would be something;)

Donj, NJ   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

DUH…

Mike D   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

shes on vacation!

don from canada   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

She is off CRYING & feeling sorry for herself and Bill. Boo Hoo Hillary !!

FactCheck   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Why is everyone so fascinated with the runner-up? No Charlie Black, professional lobbyist, storied to be dug up? Or do we now have to do your job for you CNN?

lidred   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

who cares

Ted   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Give HIllary a break…She's lost her entitlement. She needs to rest a bit. I also believe she will be formally announcing her decision not to be considered for VP. There are far better and more productive posts she can hold that would not only benefit her political career, but better serve our Nation. I believe she has far more vision in that regard than her supporters.

She is a good Senator and a feisty leader, maybe she can get in a position to replace Harry Reid and be a cheerleader for common sense in the Senate.

RSP   June 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Hillary will be appointed to a cabinet post under President McCain. You heard it here first, folks.

shelley   June 13th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

SHE'S TIRED! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!

Franky, New York, NY   June 13th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

It's just not the same without Her. Obama vs. McCain…what a sleeper…

Dan-Virginia   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Is it so wrong for her to take a break and collect her thoughts? She has a wide array of potential paths open to her to continue to work for her ideals. It is only right that she take some time to contemplate where she wants to go next.

BobFV1   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Hard to imagine anything I could possibly care less about than Hillary Clinton's whereabouts.

Alex in TX   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

The woman just went through a grueling ordeal…give her some time and peace and quiet.

Good lord we don't need everyone under a microscope 24/7 do we?

Anonymous   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Who cares? She has had a long campaign and is exhausted. Leave her alone already!

Jaime   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

Who cares? McCain can't post here.

McCain is computer illiterate he can not possibly relate to technological advances.

donna   June 13th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

She is taking a much deserved break…let her rest!!!

Sara from Arizona   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Bought an RV, retired and took Bill with her.

McCrazy   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Give her a break. The DNC basically bullied her into quitting and backing Obama, so the least people can do is back off. They are lucky she is even agreeing to support Obama.

SickCNN   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

How pathetic you are, CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!

skinny dog   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

What do you expect, after "losing" to a phony hypocrite. Take some well deserved rest, and wait for 2012. We will make sure to voter for her in 2012 by not voting for BHO.

Abe Schenck   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I do not mean any disrespect, but I would be pretty sick of my family after 17 months of intense campaigning with them. If I were HRC, I'd be all like "peace, out yo" and get drunk with some cabana boys somewhere in the tropics.

Reuben Samuel   June 13th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Why the hell any one wants to know about Hillary? Guess do not have any more scoop on no good Obama and that old guy McCain!!!

Karen from Charlottesville   June 13th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

I'm not a huge fan of Hillary, but she worked very, very hard and deserves a nice, relaxing vacation. Let's show her a little respect and let her have a rest. She deserves it.

Anonymous   June 13th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

She needs it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert   June 13th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

We Love you Hillary! We support you!

tidho   June 13th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

probably sleeping.

Canad   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Quote John McCain

The Corp   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

She's at McCain 's campaign HQs formulating a strategy to put the insane liberal genie back into the bottle.

sidney nyc   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

she might be pinned down by SNIPER FIRE.
LOL

Linda31   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

Leave her alone to rest!

Kelley   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I am an Obama supporter, but I respect Hillary and hope she enjoys her much needed time off.

DK of CA   June 13th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I hope she is getting rest and preparing to get her supporters to back Barack, and help the Democrats win in November.

Obama '08

Sherri   June 13th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Give her the time she needs to rest. I did not support her, but I do admire her. It was a tough campaign. She will be back to work in no time.

Herman in LA   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Well we know where Bill Clinton is, he in CA he was in the news paper today attending a graduation for a relative.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

give the lady some time. she will emerge back and campaign for obama maybe even run as vp. gosh,she is a woman and we do get tired just like men. she was on the go constantly and deserves a break
HILLARY GET SOME REST. IF YOU BECOME VP YOU WILL NEED IT. WE ARE PULLING FOR YOU

Shelby Y.   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Are you guys serious? She's gone home, where she needs to be!!!! Stop pushing her agenda, SHE LOST, SHE'S OUT OF THE RACE, SHE HAS NOT BEEN PICKED AS A RUNNING MATE!!!!!! In case you haven't noticed the general election has started, why dont you try reporting something of value to the American people regarding the candidates who DID win their parties nomination.

Try reporting how McCain has voted aginst raising the minium wage 8 times,or how he has voted AGAINST every woman's issue he has had a chance to and how he treats his wife.

sidney nyc   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

who care where she is.

MAX   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

I wonder if Hilary will come back (like Al Gore) with a full beard?

Peggy - Tx   June 13th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

If Hillary can pull Penn. Democrats together to enthusiastically support Obama , then she will have redeemed herself and would be well positioned for the VP role or Secretary of Health position where she can fulfill her vision for America.

Why try 08   June 13th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

As an Obama supporter I say let her rest. She deserves it. Best wishes Hillary.

mike   June 13th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Have a good a blessed time.

David in Chicago   June 13th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Hillary, please get your people away from Mr. Dark Ages… we don't need to go back to woman going to Canada/mexico to abort.. we don't need to take away Gay people's rights as they finally are starting to make progress.. we need to bring those KIDS home from Iraq.. they don't want us there, were just getting in the way now!! Please talk some sense into your people, how can you vote Mccain if you are in line with Hilary!!!??? It's blowing my mind!! lol

Loretta from California   June 13th, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Well, I would think that she is back doing was she does best. Working on behalf of the American people.

Brian from Fort Mill, S.C.   June 13th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Her new slogan is:

"I'll Be Back!"

The Clintonator! :)

Kenneth M   June 13th, 2008 2:01 pm ET

CLINTON WOULD MAKE A GREAT SEC. OF STATE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY CAN WORK TOGETHER.
