This is as phony as a bipartisanship effort in congress. BHO & the DNC railroaded Hillary but don’t count out the Clinton's just yet. They will set up BHO for a fall in October.

The PUMA, so called Hillary Clinton supporters, never really supported Hillary as much as they were against the idea of a Barack Obama becoming President.

They can't really say they supported her or her vision which she has always shared with Barack Obama. They may have voted her (against Obama) in the Democratic primary, but for them to say they'll now vote for McCain who's ideologies and policies are night and day different from Hillary and Obama and in alignment with the Bush Administration, they never really supported her or what she stands for.

I will donate to Hillary, I will not donate to Obama or the DNC...I will write Hillary on my ballot in November. Let the chips fall where they may. I can at least say, don't blame me, I voted for her...

don't get sidetracked, Barack.

You're going to have to come up with something very clever to say, to clear up the whole Iraq thing. For example "we are going to allow them to have a real democracy over there, instead of invading if they have anything but an american-business-friendly government; like Saddam when he traded his oil in American Dollars vs. Saddam after he switched oil trade in Iraq to Euros – remarkably close to the time we invaded."

Not that Saddam was democratic – of course he wasn't. We just didn't have a problem with the torture and war crimes until he stopped serving the interests of american business. Suddenly, we start talking about the crimes he's been commiting for the last 20 years, or so, like it was new. Wasn't it us that put him in power to begin with? Did everyone forget that already? Sort of like forgetting May-Day? Why would we put a jerk in power? Why did you choose to do that?

If Obama would make up his mind about his VP in favor of Hillary, believe me, he would skyrocket his efforts to raise money, and move him much closer to winning the general election. There would be so much excitement for this "dream ticket". Remember, 18 million people would be thrilled (counting Hillary's votes for her nomination). Sure , there will always be some negative people saying it won't work, but there are in the minority. The opposing party would not come close to having that type of ticket or excitement generated by a Obama-Hillary combination. Just don't wait around any longer...it's a winning combination.

It's funny how you clinton supporters accuse Barack Hussein Obama of being racists, divisive, a liar and deceitful because in your heart of hearts you know you're really talking about Hillary. She was all that and more. Did it ever occur to you PUMA, PAC people that the delegates chose Obama cause they knew the Clintons and how they operated and were tired of it? The Clintons are no saints people, check out all the people that died around them when they were going to testify against them. Do it, unless you're afraid of the truth. Total of 26 people mysteriously died.

Its a good gesture of both of them, Obama should help pay HRC debt as much as possible, there may be more fundraisers required, which will be distracts from the campaign.

So far many HRC staunch supporters are not buying Obama's arguments, they are critical on every news that comes out about Obama, it seems likely that many of them will stay home and not be voting. We have to accept the reality and move on. Perhaps, HRC and her supporters still think that Obama is not electable, in spite of Obama's lead in many key states in polls, and they are trying to prove their arguments. I doubt if Bill will truly come out to help in any major way, its obvious that he has made no public endorsement on any sort.

Its HRC supporters who are haters of Obama's popularity joined by media who are constantly blaming Obama of flip flops. He has always said that he will call a meeting of joints chiefs of staff as soon as he is elected, have high level consultations with military commanders to refine the details based on facts, but put his strategy of withdrawl on the table that everyone must follow. He also had said last year that acceptance or refusal of public funding will be based on discussions with McCain, which never materialized. Haters of the HRC group wrongly proclaim flip-flops on these. My sincere advice to them is to get out of the blogs, unless they can carry objective discussions.

Its a very clear choice between the two candidates, whoever people want will be the next president.

I strongly recommend the HRC lovers and Obama haters to do whatever they wish, but stop throwing things on blogs that no longer make any sense.

Is good for democrats and shame for people who still make wrong allegation that Hillary supporters will never vote for Obama. Some time it seems like people who get chance to come on T.V to answer the question don’t have ability of good judgments. Everybody knows that during the primary some republicans call their supporters to vote Hillary and make chaos the democrats “historic primary”. It is not doubt that these voters will back Barack automatically, that the same people who deeply believe McCain is not going anyway with the republicans and their worse strategic plan of Karl Rove and others. But as we all know Barack is a hard worker and fighter he will do what ever he has to do to convince these Hillary republicans to vote for CHANGE. Everybody is tired with republicans because the only things they know is negative campaign they don’t have any good plan for the people is the party without program therefore when they come in the power they do whatever they want and nobody have question to them.

Seems more of HIll's supporters are refusing to back Obama than the pundits thought, although we've been saying it all along. People say a vote for McCain is a vote for Bush. We say a vote for McCain is a vote for Hill in '12. She's ready to lead, Obama's not . However, if Obama does tap Hillary for VP, then I think he wins the presidency in a landslide come November. With Hill on the ticket, I might even reconsider. But it will depend on McCain's VP choice.

I still have a problem with Hillary and her outrageous debt. Why on earth did the woman keep on going after she knew she didn't have a chance. She made that choice herself and she is the one who needs to take care of the debt. Not the Democrats supporting Obama. Its ridiculous. And what of those 18 million supposed supporters. Why on earth aren't they taking care of their Queens debt. Heck, they could each send her $2 and she'd be set. She could even pay herself back all those millions. I'm quite sure she needs it more than her supporters. PUMA tards....where are you? You candidate need s you. Please rescue her. Put your money where your mouth is.

What a shame. This fine lady and a true America, who loves her country, should find herself, having to play second fiddle, to this imatureand arrogant person. Puma is trying to make sure that her name is placed in nomination at the convention and that the delegates have the opportunity to cast their votes and that those super delegates vote for the only person that now can win in November. Obama has flip flopped on so many important issues in the last two weeks there is no way he can wim. FISA, Abortions, the war and bringing home the troops, are just some of his "flips", and he has moved over to the far right of McCain.

The major studio exectutives today admitted that the giant gorilla King Kong is gay and planning to marry Mighty Joe Young in a civil ceremony. The Republican party has made a statement that all children that have seen this character could be affected by this announcement. The marriage will take place in Santa Barbara California at the home of rock star Michael Jacksons Neverland Ranch. Kong has been in the closet about his sexuality for many years but felt it was time to explain that Joe Young was the gorilla of his dreams and for him for the rest of his life. Both Kong and Young are big Democrats and will be married on the day the George W.Bush speaks at the Republican convention. The wedding cake will represent the past seven years of this Republican administration with a lot of fruits and nuts mixed in the cake and cut up pieces of banana called cronies. The best gorilla will be Magilla and the two have decided to live on their own planet near Charlton Heston. We will hope that Mr. Heston will put down his gun and live in peace!

The steam and aura around Obama is going down because instead of sticking with his message of hope and change he is waisting his time and energy responding to McCain's criticism.
I wonder if he's forgotten that what actually got him to this point was the fact that he stayed above the fray of partisan politics. If he has any hope of winning over the doubters of which i was one, then he should focus his attention on the issues and talk more about providing solutions to the many problems comfronting americans.

And for those of you who don't know what voting for the president of the United States mean, it means you are voting for the most powerful person on the face of the earth whose policies and actions not only affect americans but people the world over.
If you think this is not true, then watch gas prices today. In 2001 it was $20 a barrel. I know, we are being told that gas prices are high because of demand outweighing supply. Well, demand is playing a role but can anybody explain why a barrel of oil will go up 45% in 6 month?

So all i'm trying to say is, consider the issues carefully before you cast your ballot and remember that, that one single vote of yours can impact the world positively or negatively.

It doesn't make one bit of difference how many times Obama campaigns with Hillary. When Howard Dean and the DNC broke their own rules by giving Obama uncommitted votes, they lost the respect and support of 18 million voters–voters who will not be so easily swayed come November.

Senator Clinton is doing what she has to do but her donors and her supporters are free to do what they wish and that means not supporting Obama or donating to the undemocratic Democratic Party. We demand a roll call at the convention and that all states be counted. After voting for 48 years as a Democrat I will vote for McCain unless Hillary is at the top of the ticket.

THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, CONTRARY TO WHAT THE MEDIA SUGGESTS. SOME EVEN SWITCHED PARTIES FOR SENATOR CLINTON. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN POSSIBLY SUPPORT OBAMA IS IF SENATOR CLINTON IS ON THE TICKET, OTHERWISE, MC CAIN IS OUR CLEAR CHOICE. THE MEDIA NEEDS TO GET THERE HEADS OUT OF SAND AND SEE WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING HERE. I SWITCHED MY PARTY AFFILIATION FOR SENATOR CLINTON AND SO DID SOME OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. IT WILL NOT BE A STRETCH TO GO BACK.
