Clinton made her debut as an Obama backer Thursday.

(CNN) — After 17 months of vigorously promoting her own candidacy, Hillary Clinton made her debut on Thursday as an official backer of Barack Obama.

Clinton appeared before the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials meeting in Washington and forcefully argued the Illinois senator would be a strong advocate of the Latino community if he is elected president.

Earlier, she told the American Nurses Association that “Anyone who voted for me has little in common with the Republican Party.”

Clinton formally backed her onetime rival nearly three weeks ago, but Thursday's appearances were the first time that the New York senator has advocated for Obama's candidacy publicly in front of voters.

Watch: Obama, Clintons: Hard feelings?

"I know Senator Obama. I have served with him now for nearly four years in the Senate. I campaigned with him for more than 16 months on the campaign trail. I have stood on the stage in 22 debates, but who is counting," Clinton said to laughter.

"Every issue you care about personally, every issue that your constituents care about, every issue that NALEO is fighting for is really at risk," She continued. "We cannot afford four more years of the same. It wont be good for any of us, and therefore we have to be determined to chart a new course, and cannot do that without electing Senator Obama our president."

The NALEO appearance seals Clinton's reentry into the 2008 presidential campaign, 19 days after she called her White House bid quits. It came only hours before Clinton and Obama are set to appear together before powerful Democratic fundraisers that have largely supported Clinton's bid in the Democratic primary. And on Friday, the two senators will head to Unity, New Hampshire, in their first foray on the campaign trail together.

Latino voters overwhelmingly supported Clinton's White House bid throughout the primary season and some Clinton surrogates suggested Obama may have trouble courting the influential voting bloc in the general election.

Specifically, ardent Clinton backer Terry McAuliffe said the New York senator's overwhelming win in Puerto Rico proved Obama had a "problem with the Latino community," and "cannot close in this key core constituency.

But the NALEO audience was all cheers for the Illinois senator Thursday, showing few signs Obama will have difficulty courting the demographic as the general election campaign heats up.

As for Clinton, she told the crowd she "had a lot of fun" campaigning for president, even though there were "some tough times."

"What I remember were all of the faces, all of the people who came out to support me, all of the elected officials who stood by my side, all of the funny things that happened in a campaign that you don't ever predict, but which are memorable," she said.

All these Hillary supporters saying there's no way you'll vote for Obama, HRC was the best thing to ever happen to this country, etc., etc.–

Where were you when Iowa had its caucus? Where were you during the month of February when Obama won eleven states in a row?

I think some of you are so invested in being victims you can't remember just a few months ago when you were lukewarm about Clinton as she was losing state after state. If she's as great as you say she is, she never would've lost.

joe   June 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Sorry Hillary, but I do not endorse Obama. He can not ever endorse his own race. If he did, he would be considered mixed-race and not
African American. I do not feel that any American should be called anything other than an American.

Allan   June 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

You can see is what She said it not come from her hart.She is very sad.I am and family NOT going to vote for this RACIST. He play race card without any provocation only to gain sympathy.

Chris McCoy   June 26th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

Proud of her. She is keeping her promise to work hard to get a Democrat in the White House. I had doubts for a while, but this Unity tour definitely is restoring my respect for her. It's a tribute to both candidates that they have put aside their own feelings and are now working hard towards one goal. I hope followers of both will learn from their example and do the same. Democrats need to win in November. The Supreme Court is at stake. The Republicans need to go back to the drawing board and relearn what they abandoned over the last 12 years. They became the Evangeical Christian Only, Defecit-Spend, Destroy Constitutional Rights party. Anathema to the American way.

Another avalanche of politcal fu-fu from the Democrats! Responsible working people understand that Republican party principles are fundamentally the best for our country. The Democrats need to wake up and recognize that not EVERYONE can be on welfare, or equivalent government subsidies!

Vote McCain in 2008!

Glad you are back. The campaign between Obama and McCain has been a real snore. Wake me when it's over.

Sherri   June 26th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Thank you Hillary. Fellow Obama supporters please consider donating $5 to Hillary to help pay off her debt. If all of us did so, it would be done and over.

It was a fierce campaign. Obama won. Hillary is doing her best to help him win. Let's help a member of the Democratic family in the spirit of "Yes We Can."

Thank you Hillary…. you have restored my faith … now let's go after the big prize… and kick McCain and the Republicans to the curb

No More Clintons, CA   June 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Just cannot trust the Clintons and do not want to see them in public anymore.

It is time to turn the page on old dirty Washington politics – that means: no more Clintons!

LEH   June 26th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

We are not bitter–those who refuse to support Obama. We just simply do not believe that Obama will make a good president. McCain is acceptable in terms of his stance on immigration, the Iraq war (if you listen to the full text of his much distorted "100-year stay" statement) and grounded view of life and possibly style of governing. As opposed to the soaring rhetoric and much hyped Obama style of presidency.

Sten, CA   June 26th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

I just don't see why and how a Hillary supporter will vote for McBuch. If you truly are for women right.

The patriotic would never vote for McCain. His war experience means very little. I respect him for having served, definitely, but that has nothing to do with fixing our country. The economy is in dire straits, and McCain has already shown that he doesn't have any clue how to fix it. More tax breaks for corporations? Great, that's a brilliant plan.

Patriotism means that you care greatly about your country. Voting for anyone other than McCain is patriotic.

You can always tell who is truly a republican in disguise here. They are the ones calling Obama a socialist/radical. Did anyone forget that Hillary is the one for REQUIRED federal healthcare? True Democrats know she is making the right move.

Ann T   June 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Hillary did her best and she lost fair and square, maybe next time she will win. Hillary is going to help Obama and unit the Democratic Party, and some of you people are going to vote for McCain. Are you crazy!! Do you want another George Bush to be elected for another 4 years; obviously you don’t care about your country, environment and your children. If you vote for McCain and your children are drafted to an illegal war and come back in body bags you have yourself to blame. When you vote for McCain and you lose your job and become homeless it your own fault!!! Hillary and Obama are trying to unit the Democratic Party and some of you are mad, biter and ignorant and will turn against the Democratic Party and vote Republican. It shows that you don’t care about your country but yourself. It’s a shame that one man is going to try to make the USA a better place and people are very narrow minded and put their own person feeling into the election and will vote for the other party. Some people are just not true Democrats. They stick together not run off to another party. People, please think change and the US will be a better place in the near future if you vote Democrat. Do you really want to see the same old same old the next 4 years, I don’t.

Lorraine Pittsburgh, PA   June 26th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Hello Hillary—I am very excited having you and Obama together–maybe we can finally, with you both working on the policies and issues, we can get this country back to where it belongs. You're both intelligent, driven and have the best interests of the country at heart.
Let's get some things done—good luck on the campaign!!! THe only thing a lot of people have in common now is that we sure don't want what we have now!!!

Gene   June 26th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

To all you that say that Hillary was abused and hateful things were said about her by Obama… do you guys have selective memories? If you recall.. it was Clinton who was always being bashed for using the whole "kitchen sink" approach as soon as she fell behind… trying to bash Obama any way she could.

I swear some people have tunnel vision or something.

Sue in Florida   June 26th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

Angry, disappointed or whatever, Hillary is trying to move forward as
should we. Only prob is that some of you Obamanians continue to
trash her. She's endorsing and willing to say more with grace about him than he likely would her. So best you people change your tone, reason being this. Just when some of us feel that we might…might be
able to support him, then comes your damaging chatter. Let' see what
he does for her now………..think that is what will determine how genuine he is. And, she'll get the money to pay off her debt, don't gloat
too much, the test of leadership stil lies ahead.

nancy   June 26th, 2008 6:16 pm ET

I'm not convinced Obama doesn't need to bring a food tester along.

independent voter   June 26th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

they still dislike each other and let's face it, hillary was the better candidate. hillary helped obama get elected to the senate by campaigning and raising money for him, but he never credits her with this.

how long are we going to let the dems milk this war? we already voted them into congress and they have done zero to put this war to an end or do anything else. we have to stop thinking along party lines and blaming the party of the administration for everything we don't like. in order for us to move forward in this country and get things done, we need bipartisan support and we can no longer afford to think and act solely along party lines. we need compromise.

obama hasn't done anything to reach across party lines and all of his policies are in line with the same old democrtatic/liberal policies. i don't think this man can think for himself.

Shaik   June 26th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

For Senator Clinton: Now time to get your darling husband to endorse Obama in a huge public event.
For bitter Hillary supporters: Voting for McSame because you did not get the prize is selling your soul and your values….that means you were not really in support of her issues or values…just the person.

Joe   June 26th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I congratulate Senator Clinton. It takes a very big person to get behind someone else, especially given that she gave it her all during the primary. She is very right. Anybody who voted for her in the primaries has little (her words, I'd probably say nothing) in common with John McCain. It is time to move this country forward and Senator Obama is the candidate to do that.

Quincy   June 26th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I will be the happiest man on earth whren November 7th rolls around and all these posters pretending to be one thing and are secretly something else get to cast their votes for the candidate of their choice.

Maybe, just maybe the insults will go away and this nation can begin to heal after this republican travesty improperly concealed behind an ill conceived war in a mistaken land.

Just as Hillary and Bill through blacks under the bus, her supporters are going to throw the Dems under the bus. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Like her, Hillary supporters are for revenge and their own self interest.

Let them type whatever they want to type in these blogs. In the end, they are nothing but some desparate Republicans trying to stir up some trouble. They know this could be a the year they lose the White House. So let them post. Pay them no attention. All democrats Unite, and lets put America back as the (positive) leader of the world.

Perhaps for "party unity"all the Democratic politicians are supporting
Obama for President, however, that doesn't mean that the American

Hillary Clinton because she is the best candidate for whatever party.
The DMC and all the other back-stabbers did not support Hillary and
NOW they want her help, how hypocritical can one be? I for one vote
for a specific candidate with the best experience not a speech giver!

Anyway, nothing is going change our mind not to vote for Obama.
You are losing respect of your supporters.
I am definitely switching to indepednts now.
Losing respoect for democrats

Belle   June 26th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Actually, I am a Clinton supporter that is having a harder time voting for Obama.

Why? I am in manufacturing, and Clinton was for renegotiating NAFTA and the WTO contracts. Now Obama has said NAFTA is a good thing…wow…how many more jobs have to go overseas??? Right now, India supplies foreign labor to the US market by taking the contract, then offering the SAME job to a company employee at 40% less!

In the same week, Senator Obama also backtracked on campaign finance…where before he said it was VERY important to use Public Funds to keep campaigns from overspending! To keep a level playing field.

I have to vote for someone I trust…so now that Obama has breached mine, I will watch and wait.

Nancy   June 26th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

Obama needs watching..I still will not vote for him without Hillary on the ticket.

Hillary supporters who cant see the difference between mcbush and Obama are blind. Like wise if they cant see the similarities between Hillary and Obama they remain blind and need a reason not to vote for Obama. The two platforms are almost identical so how can any sane person vote against any one of these two. When it comes to politics how can you vote for one and not the other.

Chuck   June 26th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

So many people still seem to think that it's either Obama or McCain. There is more than two parties. Search them out, understand their issues, then vote for the one that makes sense. Enough of this mindless ooze of only two choices.

ChicoSez   June 26th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Why dies Obama want to mewet Hillary's large donors? I thought that he only took small donations. And Obama has asked his large donors to help Hillary. Again, I didn't know Obama had any large donors. Only a million little people who gave $10 a week out of their allowance from home, In reality, half of Obama's money comes from traditional large money donors who bundle packages of checks in hundreds on thousands of dollars. If you listen to Obama's self rightious speech on fund raising, yuou'll never vote for this fraud.

aw   June 26th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Gee do you think this has anything to do with the fact that Obama is helping her pay off her campaign debt. It does make me wonder what kind of a president should would have been. She certainly couldn't manage her campaign money. How much worse would she have been at managing the government's money. Thank God she didn't get the nomination. I hope she and Bill will just go away.

Michael   June 26th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

Hillary looks happy. This is a good thing.

I hardly ever comment on these ridiculous articles but seriously, if you don't like Hillary then what is the point of wasting your time typing arguments about her? Those of us that actually like her aren't going to be turned away because of your comments. You are wasting your own time and space for those of us who want to say something positive. Grow Up!

————————————————————————————–

Just as long as it's understood that this cuts both ways. I'm not saying you're one of them, Cameron, but the Obama-haters and PUMA freaks around here also aren't convincing anyone with their blind hatred. Those who like Obama are not turned away by them either.

I also wish haters and six-year-olds on all sides would disappear and leave this board for positive and intelligent comments. I can be swayed by logical and reasonable comments, even if they goes against the candidate I support. I would appreciate an intelligent discussion with participation from everyone who isn't deliberately uninformed, and turning everyone off with their bitterness, hatefulness, and naivete.

MM   June 26th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

A viote for McCain is a vote that sends a message to the DNC, that if you want to select our Democratic candidate, then we aren't going to vote for a Democrat..

The DNC played us for fools all along knowing they were picking Obama and totally dis-regard our votes..
you say we are wasting our votes for McCain..well then no different than the DNC and democratic party leaders wasting our time and vote and hard work we put in for Hillary..

Doug   June 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

This is what Hillary needs to do. A lot of us who were Obama supporters really saw the dark side of the Clintons this primary season. But this is the charismatic side of Hillary that was missing during the primary. Her gracious words will hopefully heal some of the wounds she created during the primary. And if she can continue, I might even be willing to root for her to be offered to join the ticket. I never thought I'd say that after the primary…but it looks like she might be able to be a team player, afterall. And Bill Clinton's stubborn silence is actually welcomed right now, from my point of view. If he can shut up and stay out of the lime light, this Obama-Clinton ticket may just work out.

politicolo   June 26th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I hold only 1 vote. It's small token. I can vote for Clinton. But if I ,somehow, have 5 votes to spare, I will cast 4 for McCain for President and 1 for Obama for his Senate Reelection.

What are you thinking??!!!

To all Hillary's supporters,
If you love your girl as much as you say you do, you better get on her bandwagon. There's some reason that she's done such a 360 about Obama…I'm not quite sure what it is, whether she truly just wants to support O because he's the best candidate, whether she's just hoping he'll lose and she'll go again in 2012, whether it's to get O's supporters to get her campaing out of debt, whether it has something to do with that upcoming trial that could implicate her, or some other reason only beknowst to her.

For all of you that say that you will vote for McBush, think about this: Gas is now past 4.00 per gallon, all of us have been touched by the wars that are going on. If you want this mess to be cleaned up we must unite as a nation of people. e plauribus unum. If you keep that in mind we can get our country back on track. Sorry HRC supporters if you vote McBush you will be sorry.

Neutral...MN   June 26th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

Hillary will be missed – great fighter. I have supported Barack before his Iowa win. I have nothing but respect for Hillary Clinton – if Barack wasn't on the ticket I would have voted for Hillary.

However, it is obvious on this blog who the real Hillary supporters are and who are not. People who believed in Hillary believed in her strength and experience, and, well, just liked her. Ofcourse the back bone of all of this was her policies. So for those who supported Hillary, but will not support Obama, are fakers.

I know it's hard Hillary, but it's the right thing to do for the Democratic Party.

To Hillary supporters, don't hate because Obama studied the election rules and trends. He followed the rules and ran a better campaign. Period.

If you vote for McCain out of 'pisstivity', then you are not voting on the issues. Don't get it twisted. If you are voting on the issues, you will not align yourself with McCain.

It doesn't take a degree in PolySci to figure this out.

Michael   June 26th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

All those who take the time to read these and other comments after political articles must know that the nasty, caustic remarks are nothing more than Republicans trying to sow descent within the Democratic party. Some are obvious by the inarticulate syntax and third grade spelling. Some are not so obvious because they actually graduated grammar school and are smart enough to get spell check and grammar check for their computers. The true Democrat or Independent is the one who says that they would rather have Hillary but they know they must support Obama or continue down the Bush road to ruin with McCain. So don't pay any attention to the saboteurs, just thank Hillary for trying her best to win and for recognizing that it is Obama or more war, recession and scandal with McCain.

…And after Obama pays off her $30 million debt, what is to stop her from backstabbing him by starting up her campaign again and running as an independent?

She never ENDED her campaign, only suspended it. Don't be suckers!

Anita from Arizona   June 26th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Thank you, Hillary. The party uniter she is. And to the ugly comments in here just remember, the more you judge and discrimate and begrudge, the more alienated you will be in this society. Behavior and comments like that are becoming more and more inexceptible. The two democratic campaigns have shined the light on this type of racism against people who were born female or black or both or whatever. It's time this country did a little spring cleaning and this independent voter is ready.

Not one sick, nasty comment is based on the ISSUES at hand.

jc   June 26th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

i voted for Clinton and still would but i guess i will be voting for McCain now. I might vote for Obama if Clinton is with him but it will not be for him it will be for her.
Obama speaks of change but does not go into details of what changes he will make.

Madison   June 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

I'm Latino and I have 3 family members that are nurses. I'm glad Sen. Clinton is talking about all of the issues that nurses have to deal with every day. I hope she keeps talking about this.

And I hope Sen. Obama does too.

Grandma   June 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Voting for John McCain because Hillary Clinton did not win the nomination is not very mature. She is backing Barack Obama herself as she said she would.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had many similarities in their campaigns. Why would a true Democrat vote for a Republican and doom our country to four more years of Bush Politics?

Please–let's try to get along for the good of our country!

Dori in AZ   June 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

Gracias, Senator Clinton!

Patrick Henry, Ft. Myers   June 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

If this gumby has any hope it will be with candidates like Hillary.
If Bill will stay in the shadows–her efforts may work.

Sadly, either way we're screwed. Both Obama and McCain promise to do nothing more than continue the decades of government waste, fraud, corruption, and empowerment of their on ideologies.

it's time we had a President who really put ALL Americans first–not just the poor, the rich, the oil producers, or women, hispanics, blacks, etc, etc, etc,…

Libertarian 2008!!!

Got liberty? Think again. visit the Libertarian Party–find out how to make real change in 2008.

Val, Atlanta, Ga   June 26th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

ESPECIALLY TO THE WOMAN. Any of Sen Clintons supporters that vote for McCaine really didn't care about her in the first place it would be a SLAP in her face and any woman that votes for that disrespectful cheating old man really needs some medication I would never vote for a man that has NO respect for his wife or woman for that matter and for ANY woman that would vote for him I believe you think very little of yourself. Don't ever put anyone else before you put yourself.

B Jiggy   June 26th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hey all u hilliary or mccain people, y dont u send a dollar each so she can get out of debt? How would she be a better candidate when she ran a bad primary race… 22 million dollars in debt? And that after she knew it was not possible to win? ha ha and u talk about Obama's judgement!

:)

Go Democrats

wiser   June 26th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Hiilary is the best! I am another voter who will only consider voting for Senator Obama if Senator Clinton is the VP. This decision would show that Senator Obama has sound judgment.

Undecided Democrat!

OBAMA 08

DarkTiger   June 26th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

I like how everyone here believes that Obama has all the answers. Truth is, he and McCain are both struggling very hard on the issue of economics right now. NEITHER has a plan that will do any long term damage to what is going on. Obama talks about windfall taxes on oil companies. Sorry to everyone out there that thinks this is genius, this was tried before and it failed miseralby, driving our economy even lower. So this talk about change?? Yea, lots of change there, been done already so not a whole lot of change there. Then again, McCain's idea is not that great either it has been said in the papers that that has no real long term effect either. BOTH candidates are looking for your votes. yes, I am a conservative, but that does not make me republican. I am looking for the candidate best suited to run our country. We need a quick fix right now to help us in the short term followed by a plan that will fix the long term as well. The quick fix being a crutch till the long term kicks in. I have yet to see REAL change from either candidate.

Ja   June 26th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

"McCain continues to lynch Obama in major polls and it gets no press!
Rasmussen McCain 51, Obama 36 McCain +15.0″

Leaving aside the incendiary use of the word "lynch", Rasmussen's daily presidential tracking poll has Obama 46, McCain 41. Not sure what state/county/date/universe you cherry-picked that number from.

Wish the Republicans would find another hobby and quit pretending to be angry Hillary supporters on the internet. It's not fooling anyone, just making us scroll more.

AV   June 26th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

there's so many people that are still bitter about the primary's but was wondering why? Why so angry with Obama and also the DNC can you fill me in>

Bryan   June 26th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

I have supported both Hillary and Barack but it will not matter. The republicans will steal another election.

Bush's first term was not an election as the Supreme Court picked him. Bush's gets voted in the second time becuase of corruption in the system that the Democrats should have called them on. Which is why Bush is running for a third term under the alias McCain.

Does anybody really think the election isn't already decided?

Schalaine Ellisor   June 26th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

Work your butt off to get this young man elected. You know if a democrate is not elected, you will be blaimed and your political career will be in the crapper. So, it's not like you're doing Obama a favor, you are protecting your own back. For the PUMA's who are still hoping Hillary will be on the ticket-give it up. She does not have enough honor to be on a ticket with him. Besides, Hillary is old school. We want change and that is not what a Clinton represent.

Terri - Vancouver, WA   June 26th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

To "Fight the Liberal Media" – I would suggest that you actually go read the latest Rasmussen poll. The ONLY place that McCain is leading Obama by 15% is in Tennessee! The national poll shows Obama up by 6% points over McCain, and gaining every week.

Do your research before you type…

Eric   June 26th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

I agree that the troops need to be brought home. However we need to keep some kind of presence over there, if we turn her back on the mess we created there will be huge ramifications! Remember a place called Afghanistan. We need to stop the "war" but we must keep a presence over there!

Marianne   June 26th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Hillary don't look back, and don't let anyone keep you down. You are a remarkable person. Thank-you for your shining examples of doing what is right for all Americans, even though it may be hard on a personal level.

Rick   June 26th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

If you think Hillary is REALLY supporting Obama, guess again. She is going to do everything possible (quietly, mind you) to sink his ship. Even her ex-staff say so. She has to do it quietly though, or she will hose herself with the Dumbocrat party. She and Bill believe in winning, and if they can't have it, neither will Obama. Hill knows that if she does not get it in 2008, she must make absolutely certain Obama does not either. If Obama wins in 2008, Hillary knows he will a shoe-in for the Democratic nomination in 2012, and she will need to wait until 2016 for another shot. She would be nearly 70, and she ain't lookin' too good now (the close-ups are scary…). No, this is her chance, now or in 2012, and she is not about to let Obama steal the show. This leads me to predict that McCain will be elected President, even though he sucks (he's old, ugly, angry, stupid, and worst of all – he's every bit as much a Dumbocrat as Hillary).

What?   June 26th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

Sure, now he needs the 'Latino' vote, so he goes a'courtin'

This Mexican-American needs more than a few crumbs thrown my way. What did you ever do for us Obama?!?

You can wait for my vote just as I had to wait for you to acknowledge there are other minorities besides African-Americans.

Change ya name it dont matter we know you by the context of your post its the same old lame stuff.. Idle threats about voting for McLame.. tryin (operative word TRYING) to smear Sen Obama…
You guys are so weak nobody's buying that crapola just like your candidate McLAMEEEE!

Obama all the way baby!
Yes We Gonna!

Amarissa   June 26th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Sorry Hillary NOBAMA. I know you are doing what any good politician would do and that is support your party's candidate. I do not think I could do that, I still respect you but I cannot vote for an unqualified leftist candidate who scares me to death! I, as millions of others, are still fighting for justice. I know you are in debt, I know you must help unite the Party but don't ask us to join in because our principles are not for sale. We, as voters, have the right to choose our own candidate. You are still the one, but if our rights are ignored all the way to the Convention and Obama becomes the official candidate, I rather vote for the least of evils.

Steve/Houston,TX for Obama   June 26th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

I really wish that the Hillary supporters will listen to her. She clearly stated “Anyone who voted for me has little in common with the Republican Party.” So why would you vote for McCain? To try and show Obama that your pissed? Trust me, he will be the next president and you would have just wasted your time and energy trying to slow down progress. Relax, Relate and Release your bitterness and vote responsibly.

Obama '08. YES WE CAN.

Glenn   June 26th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Thanks, Hillary. As long as you support Obama, I will glad donate to help you pay of your debt. It would be even greater if your 18 million voters each donated about $1 each. That would just about wioe it out.

Kevin, NC   June 26th, 2008 5:39 pm ET

Welcome to the fold Hillary, We still love you and Chelsea, but dump that Husband of yours after You and Obama win the election.

Why do you keep coming here and saying you will vote for MCINSANE. Do it. I don't believe he gets 5% of her vote, so stop kidding yourselves. Stop crying, wipe your nose and grow up. Yeah you PUMA losers too.

Thks Hillary for supporting Obama and telling us that if you are a true Hillary supporter then you should vote Obama.

Sean   June 26th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

What's more important, the lives of thousands more of our young soldiers who would die in an unending Iraqi war under McCain, or satisfying your personal frustrations by switching your support from Hillary to McCain?

Pat, Washington   June 26th, 2008 5:38 pm ET

She looks rested. Which is always good, however, if she doesnt do all that she cant to ensure the nominee of the democratic party is elected she wont be elected ever. So all you haters, racist whatever the reason is you are choosing not to vote for obama although he supports nearly everything Clinton does. She will never get there because it will be written she was the cause the USA went down further although we are pretty low as it is. Guess we just be closer to smelling the dirt.

BigAce   June 26th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Stacy, Puff, Jeff D – HRC POSERS
GA American – Real HRC supporter.

Notice that there is no attack on Obama in the post, only remorse for fallen candidate.

The posers always try to place blame on the DNC for the outcome of the nomination, which is factually incorrect. But when you are trying to cause division, you don't want the facts to get in your way of spewing divisive commentary.

As for GA American and others alike, a word of advice. Politics is a very unpredictable process. The fact that you don't like the outcome of the HRC vs Obama contest, means that you are not ready for the big stage.

Be happy with McSame, Live long and prosper, if its possible under his leadership. BTW, you may have to get a second job if you really believes that his economic policies will turn things around for this country.

GC from Virginia   June 26th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

To Independent in Iowa:

I totally agree. But you must understand that it goes both ways. For every venom-spitting Obama supporter there's a hateful Clinton supporter. For every Clinton supporter called a racist or an idiot, there's an Obama supporter called an elitist or a black supremacist. Want proof? Go to one of those PUMA sites. They're more hateful and misaligned than Rush Limbaugh.

I think we should just ignore what posters on these blogs say and do not allow them to affect our decision. These people are not part of the campaigns and they in no way represent the campaigns. There are a lot of spiteful idiots on both sides. We should all ignore them and move on.

David, Silver Spring, MD   June 26th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Every woman who supported Hillary Clinton owes it to Hillary, to herself, and to women across the country to support Barack Obama.

Obama will break down the barrier that has prevented anyone but white males from gaining the White House. His election will not just be a step forward for African Americans, it will be a step forward for all who have been denied equal opportunity. Barack Obama today opens the door; tomorrow a woman, a Latino, or a poor kid from nowhere can step through it.

Kim, PA   June 26th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

for as much as i wanted HER to WIN,
i will vote for OBAMA!!!!!

no more McSame

nick   June 26th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

If Hillary isn't the VP I will vote mccain simply because it is arrogant and offensive for Obama to not walk the talk-he is the keeper of change and can bring GOP and DEMs together then he surely can bring Hillary aboard. . Don't bother emailing me again until she is on the ticket, or else my money and support goes GOP!

Christian   June 26th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

To those Hillary supporters that refuse to vote for Barrack, just know at this point it iwill be against what's best for the party, against Hillar'ys wishes and will basically defy logic and reason.

Loose Rational   June 26th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

McCain should be cowering in a corner by now.

This is just going to do wonders for Obama's numbers. Republicans should feel this is too painful to watch, I can understand their coniving efforts in infiltrating pro-democrat blogs and pretending to be anything but republicans.

Slick Hillary   June 26th, 2008 5:34 pm ET

She thinks she's slick. When she was running for president, she was wore every color of the rainbow. Now that she's campaigning for Barack, she's in funeral black. She also wore black, as did Bill and Chelsea when she conceded.

We're on to you Hill, no wonder you lost.

That's true. Which is why I really would like to think that all of the PUMA types really are Operation Chaos moles. Because it's depression to consider just how stupid and emotional a true Democrat would have to be to vote for McCain because of hurt feelings.

I am amazed that anyone who was supporting HRC could even think of going out to vote for McSame. The Democratic Primary ended the way it did, fair and square.

If you're going to remain bitter and selfish, please stay home on Nov. 4.

TheTruthHurts   June 26th, 2008 5:32 pm ET

For those idiots who think Hillary is doing this only for political reasons, what the heck does that say about her ethics?

She will endorse Obama, tell her supporters to vote for him, but doesn't believe that's the best move for the country? I don't think REAL HRC supporters believe that garbage.

If if walks and talks like a McCain troll, that's what is

If she would have fought to the convention, I would have been right there. I now support her decision and her choice. I am tired of the name calling. I think Clinton would make a better President, but I will support Obama and follow Hillary's lead. Stop all the fighting, by the way, a lot of this is republicans disguised to cause chaos in the democratic party. Don't be fooled.

If you say you value Hillory Clinton's political positions and then vote for McCain, the following are true:

1-You are a moron
2-You have no knowledge of current events
3-You have no standards for your beliefs
4-You voted for Hillory based on non-issues, ie., you like her personality, she is a woman, etc.

Please, no more Hillory supporters who claim she was the best candidate and then say they will vote for McCain. You sound stupid.

Jo   June 26th, 2008 5:29 pm ET

I was and am a Senator Hillary Clinton supporter. I will be voting for Barack Obama in November. I will vote for him regardless of who is the vice-presidential candidate. I am still convinced that Senator Clinton was the best candidate but I will support the democratic nominees.

Senator Obama should choose Senator Clinton to be the vp candidate because she brings to the table a diverse support group which Obama has failed to connect with significantly. He should pick her because she has proven that she is a very capable leader and also that she could be a good president. He should pick her because she is strong and determined and not afraid to face controversy which is exactly what you need in a candidate and a vp. He should pick her because she immediately gives him more gravitas and because she can give him some inroads in some of the swing states. He should pick her because women make up more than half of the electorate and she has the message and staff to mobilize them.

She should accept if offered because although it is not what she was aiming for, she would be the first woman vice-president of the United States. She should accept if offered because it would give her the platform to advance the programs she believes in like achieving true universal health care. She should accept if offered because she will be blamed if he loses the election no matter what, but less if she is on the ticket. She should accept if offered because she will continue to be an inspiration to the next generation of women who try to achieve their dreams.

I am convinced that everyone on this blog who makes derogatory remarks toward Obama or Clinton would not have voted for either one anyway and is just trying to upset democrats. If you support Obama then you will vote for him no matter who he picks for vp and if you are a Clinton supporter you will vote for Obama whether she is on the ticket or not. The only difference is how enthusiastic you will be doing it.

I saw a lot of angry & vicious comments left on the topic of Obama helping with your campaign debt and let me tell you – I was thinking for a brief moment that I would vote for Obama – NOT now .

Madison, WI   June 26th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

Sen. Clinton has been a great candidate. Sen. Obama has been too.

I hope he lives up to what we are looking for. And I hope that all the Obama supporters will realize why so many of us wanted her to be our candidate.

I'm sure he knows (I think he already said so) that he needs her on his campaign. I don't know if he'll pick her for VP, but if he doesn't I hope he keeps in touch with her.

psal   June 26th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

the whole situation is pathetic. she was robbed of the nomination and an inexperienced, self centered, egotistical man who puts himself and his career before the genuine needs of the american people will never get my vote. in fact, i just won't vote – because neither presumptive nominee is capable. it should have been hillary…mccain is befuddled, confused man equally ill prepared to be the commander in chief.

This is why Hillary and her campaign should have run a much more positive campaign against Barack Obama it wouldn’t have not been so hard for her to have made this transition. Now all of that negativity will be use against Barack by the republicans in the general.

The American people are paying attention and the negative untrue crap will not work this time either the stakes are to high.

Quote: "Hillary Clinton she and John McCain are more experienced than Barack Obama" end quote.

We can't look back on what happen but there is an old saying that sometime it's what comes out of that little red tongue that really can hurt you.

Shane   June 26th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

WHAT A WONDERFUL WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA SHE WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT VP. SHE WILL RESPECT YOU AS HER BOSS. THESE TWO GREAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ON THE SAME TICKET. WE WOULD DEFINATELY WIN BACK THE WH

Rick from Bowie   June 26th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Mary, "The Democratic Party is no longer for intellegent rational people since Obama took over. Sure is a shame she has to support him to pay off her campaign debt. She is a moderate Democrat. He is a very radical socialist."

Do you even have a clue what you are talking about? You are simply regurgitating crap that some conservative said. I dumber for having read your trash.

Patty   June 26th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I'm impressed. Never thought she'd do it. I'm eating my words. I apologize to Hillary and thank her for her continued support of Obama and the Democratic party.

boogieman   June 26th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

This is just like USENET message boards. A very few users incessantly post under fake names/handles, making it look like they have an army of people agreeing with them, when it's really only one or two people.

The moderation process should include IP checks to see how many of these messages from "different people" are all from one IP address. I wonder just how many of these posters are professionals hired by the Karl Rove wing of the Republican Party?

If CNN wants to break a REAL story about this campaign, they'll do this type of cross-checking and write articles about the Internet warriors who do this for a living.

I, for one, know of one person who makes a living ghost-writing letters to the editor and op/eds under other people's names for publication in various media. Works for a Republican-related group and makes a very good living ($2-3,000 per letter, several letters per week).

DB   June 26th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Dear "fight the liberal media!"

The Rasmussen poll where McCain is up by 15 points is in Tennessee. The article adjunct to the poll reads "Though McCain has a strong advantage, his lead has been cut nearly in half since April."

Not exactly good news for McCain.

Instead of "fighting the liberal media" you should fight your own ignorance and do a tiny bit of research before you spout off.

Debbie   June 26th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Clinton or McCain – yeah there's a choice – what a bunch of hypocrites!
How can suddenly go from Clinton to McCain it defies belief, I hope all you "Clinton" supporters & surrogates are putting your hands in your pockets to save all those local business and vendors she's shafted!
It must be tough being a multi, multi millionaire! and letting children send you their pockets money?

enlightenme29   June 26th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

WILL You all just let it go.. please grow up. I supported both Hillary and Obama for their stance on the issues. remember those??

HRC supporters saying you are going to vote for McCain.. please just doing it and stop posting your negativity in these blogs. I and Im sure others are really getting tired of it.

Obama supporters talking about what HRC, its only adding un- needed fuel to the fire.. grow up and stop pushing the win of your candidate in others faces.

Grow UP!

Hillary - go independent   June 26th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Sorry Hillary – you have no choice but to endorse him "I guess", but as a voter I do not have to vote for him and I will not under any circumstances. He is an arrogant no nothing snob. How could the democratic party drop you and go for him. I will never understand it. I have not dropped the democratic party. John McCain is not you Hillary, but Obama is a travisity.

Ridgeway   June 26th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Just proves she really didn't care about America just being President. Liberals smell like bad cheese.

Chris, from WI   June 26th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

Why do people continue to boast about how they're going to vote for McCain? What is it exactly you're trying to accomplish by repeating that over and over and over and over and over again? You're certainly not changing anyone's mind, so what gives?

Mike O   June 26th, 2008 5:24 pm ET

"The cost of gas increasing" Yeah, all we need to do is change presidents and that will get fixed right away (rolls eyes). And fixing the entire economy is also that simple. Darn; who would've known?

Seriously, folks: with both houses of Congress (which have a lot more to do with the economy than the President), the Democrats have done squat.

Hillary's got $20 Mill to pay off; she'll play nicey-nice until there's a big dent in that. After that, she'll covertly sabotage Barack to have a shot in 2012.

Robert   June 26th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

For those who think Clinton lost…..you are just what Obama ordered – stupid and naive. Obama is the nominee of the DNC, Clinton was the nominee of the people (oh ya – the popular vote). So frankly, no matter what Clinton says now – supporting a presumptive nominee of the DNC is far more distructive for America than supporting McCain.

McCain as President will not be able to do much with a large majority of Democrats in the House and Senate. Clinton 2012 – without Dean, Kerry, Pelosi (the rat) and Reid!!!!! No Obama!!! He is not good for America or the World.

Vote for America….Vote for McCain!

DJ, LA, CA   June 26th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Yeah see does have some pain in her eyes – but it is because she lost.

Both Obama and Clinton sincerely know it is in the best interest to look forward to the future and band together against all the OPERATION CHAOS KOOKS that keep spamming here posing as Clinton supporters.

Jeff S.   June 26th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Some of Hillary's supporters say they love her, but can't support Obama because he's "a liar" and a "clown," and that Hillary's backing him for "political reasons" only. Well, if she's willing to campaign for such a horrible man, then Sen. Clinton is a person of very low character and worthy of disdain not adoration.

Nova from NV   June 26th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

Thank you Mrs. Clinton, I would still vote for McCain.

john   June 26th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

Talk about hypocritical! Those Hillary supporters who claim they'll vote for McCain obviously care nothing about the issues and values she so vigorously put forth during her campaign, many of which represent the core values of the Democratic party. For them to say, to heck with that, I'll get my revenge or vent my frustration by voting for McCain, betrays everything she sought to do, and makes one wonder just what it was about her that they felt so strongly about in the first place.

Karrie   June 26th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

You Hillary sore heads need to realize that politics is just a game. Like Hillary said, she and Obama were friends before and they’ll be friends after the primaries. Hillary will have her turn because she’s a team player. She knows how the game is played.

No More GOP   June 26th, 2008 5:22 pm ET

TO "GA American" are you saying democrats do not work. We work harder trying to make ends meet. And because of that president you all voted in twice we are suffering more. The republicans do not care about no one.

Cameron   June 26th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

I hardly ever comment on these ridiculous articles but seriously, if you don't like Hillary then what is the point of wasting your time typing arguments about her? Those of us that actually like her aren't going to be turned away because of your comments. You are wasting your own time and space for those of us who want to say something positive. Grow Up!

This statement rules. Look, I came to believe this quote came from a republican that would have voted for mccain either way.

I used to be a Democrat   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

LAME! She looks rediculous campaigning for Obama. Hillary was thrown under the bus by the Obamas and their nazi followers. No amount of Hillary campaigning for Barrack is going to change the fact that Obama for President is a terrible idea.

Hillary better watch out that she doesn't hurt her chances of beating President McCain in 2012.

democrat   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

way to finally give some praise to Obama and restore the dignity you lost during the primaries while running such a negative campaign.
Any Clinton supporter who votes for McCain is nuts because they are complete opposites. Obama and Clinton are very similar policy-wise.
go Obama!

HillaryHater   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Good move Hillary, we know you really don't mean it, but we will take it anyway. Everyone knows that you are doing this just so your supporters will help pay your debt and I think they should.

To Clinton/McCain, go ahead and cast your vote for McCain, it's just one vote and if that makes you comfortable. Just do it, the rest of us really don't care.

And as far as Bill is concerned, he just needs to stay away!!!!!!!!

Caleb Goodwin   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Dear Hillary Supporters,

If you vote McCain you are voting for more war and many deaths. You are voting for our staying in Iraq and war with Iran and who knows what other countries. I understand that many of you have hard feelings. If you want to protest I support that but please do so by staying home and not by voting death.

Dennis F   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Obama is OK as long as Hillary is the VP running mate, PERIOD!!!

Michael   June 26th, 2008 5:20 pm ET

Please, Please just keep her and Billy-Boy away from the White House…in other words: Even if you think she is doing you a favor at this point, please do not appoint her as your Veep. I do believe you and all of us will live to regret that decision, as John McCain will surely win the November nod.

Ha, ha, ha – hysterical, Hillary, after all the rotten things you said and did during the campaign.

This woman makes me sick. How people can follow her is beyond me.

Now she has the balls to ask US to pay off her campaign debt? We can't afford gas, rent, or food but she was us to pay off a debt for the mis-managed campaign of a multi-millionaire.

God, she's a disgusting excuse for a human being.

Tejano   June 26th, 2008 5:18 pm ET

No amount of begging, cajoling, pandering Obmama or his surrogates do, The Latino Community, with the exception of the Puerto Ricans, will not vote for Obama in the general election.

McCain has our votes for 3 good reasons, Patriotism, Patriotism, Patriotism.. Semper Fi.
to all Hispanos that have sons and daughters in uniform and who have served our country honorably. Do your duty, save our country, vote McCain.

Linda Iowa   June 26th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Do not vote for McCain, write in Hillary. Make the statement that she is the choice of the people not the candidate thrust on us by the DNC, MSM, or any of the other powerbrokers ie Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid etc.

Amy, Ohio   June 26th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Thank you Senator Clinton for your committment to making sure a Democrat is in the White House in Jan of 09. This country cannot withstand another four years of Republicans "in charge". Though I have been an Obama supporter from day one, I would have whole heartedly campaigned for you if you had been the nominee. We all know what is at stake here, and I'm glad that you are standing here with us.

Anonymous   June 26th, 2008 5:17 pm ET

Clinton/McCain, you couldn't have posted a more ignorant message if you tried..by stating what you so eloquently stated, you clearly show that you have very little regard for policy and/or what direction this country moves in in the near future..whatever personal aversion you have toward obama/democrats, get over it because his policies r almost identical with those of your coveted Hillary..What does voting for Mccain solve? simply immature and illogical..ridiculous, think before you write..

There is no way in hell that you can support Hillary and vote for McCain, at least not if you were a Democrat. Why vote for someone who is against everything Hillary has fought for?????

Change is Coming   June 26th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

I am very proud of Hillary. She is keeping her word.

Even though I have supported Barack since January, I hope that Hillary keeps her head up and stays active. She has a lot to offer this country and she may become a great president in the near future.

Go Hillary!

Mary   June 26th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

The Democratic Party is no longer for intellegent rational people since Obama took over. Sure is a shame she has to support him to pay off her campaign debt. She is a moderate Democrat. He is a very radical socialist.

California Voter   June 26th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

If Obama doesn't select her as VP . . I'm sorry Hillary but he doesn't have my vote. However, you are doing what any good politician would do and that is support your party's candidate. I'm not a politician and not a party die-hard and I would suspect there are many of us out here.

E. Ashley   June 26th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

Obama needs to make Hillary his Vice President if he wants the total support of American Democrats and to win the Presidency. Hillary supporters hold a grudge due to the dirty way Hillary was treated and Obama knew of this prior. If he choses Hill as VP this will send a very strong message to ALL American Democrats of unity, healing, and good moral character that Obama stands for. Now prove it.

John from LA   June 26th, 2008 5:14 pm ET

- You are a Republican in disguise. Look, if Hillary doesn't want to do something.. she doesn't. She's a strong woman, she's worth well well over $110 MILLION dollars and if she wanted to retire from politics today… she could.. **snap** like that. She has nothing to loose. She's backing Obama because her beliefs are in line with his, PERIOD.

Don't listen to fools like this one. If you vote for McCain, you are not a true Hilary supporter and you are an insult to her and what she has fought so strongly for. End of story.

J. Richter   June 26th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

To the PUMAs who will jump in and begin keep quoting Hillary primary statements against Barack. The comparison was among two candidates with similar policies not an absolute.

She states clearly now that Barack is better than McCain by miles even though she believed she was a better candidate. She believed she had more experience even though Barack has 20 total political (including 8 in Illinois state and 3 in US senate) and her statement on him not having experience was a hyperbole typical of campaigns (even a Republican candidate in Oregon is running an ad citing his experience with Obama) so lets get a grip.

And please listen to Hillary your candidate this time as you know she would not push Barack over McCain if she did not believe it was better for the country, her supporters and all of us. Please save us from the past 8 years.

ALlison   June 26th, 2008 5:09 pm ET

Puff,

Sorry you feel that way, but the fact of the matter is that, if you don't vote for Obama, you're voting to keep the economy struggling, the war in Iraq going, and the cost of gas increasing. Hillary WILL NOT be the candidate in November, and it's getting really irritating to see that there are people like you who just don't understand that. She lost. Get over it. It's people like you who were SHOCKED when the boat sank at the end of Titanic.

Thanks for your support, Mrs. Clinton. It's the right thing to do

Elaine Aarons   June 26th, 2008 5:03 pm ET

My only hope is that that you are on the ticket. Then I could vote easier for Obama.

janice s.   June 26th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

I am so proud of Mrs. Clinton if you can't beat them join them.

Jeff D, South Bend, IN   June 26th, 2008 5:02 pm ET

Good for you Hillary. This is a good first step in the direction of re-earning the respect of people in the electorate like me, who were completely turned off by your words and actions during the primary campaign. You can still have a ground-breaking and meaningful career – keep it up. Good luck.

Welcome back Sen. Clinton. I hope you and Barack will work hard to fix this mess the Republican have made.

Obama/Clinton 08!!!!!!!

I still feel the pain, and just know we have to move forward to bring in the democratic into the whitehouse.

James Carville   June 26th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

The problem with political theater is that it is just that: Theater.

Hillary backers are upset because they are realizing that this "fight" between Obama and Hillary was as staged as a professional wrestling match.

They don't hate each other, they just want the prize. So they say whatever it takes to get us all riled up and into the voting booth.

All of us should step back and leave raw emotion out of our political choices. This primary battle has shown us where it leads – nowhere.

Dr Williams MD. Florida   June 26th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Go Obama. He has my support 100%. Excellent candidate. Hillary has to worry about her trial in November against Ron Paul

Clinton/McCain   June 26th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

Hillary, I understand you are doing this for political reasons only. Who can blame you. I know deep inside you are angry with the Democrats and Obama. So am I. That's why I'm voting for McCain.

Wish you were the nominee instead of Obama

Darth Vadik, CA   June 26th, 2008 4:59 pm ET

You go girl,
we love you Hill

The Austrian   June 26th, 2008 4:58 pm ET

You can see the pain in her eyes….
