A former Clinton aide has singed on with Obama.

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton’s former director of women’s outreach has become the latest presidential campaign staffer for the New York senator to join Barack Obama’s general election team.

Dana Singiser, a former staff director of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee led by Clinton, will fill the same strategic role she held on the Clinton campaign, heading strategic management of women's vote outreach.

"I am thrilled that Dana will continue her work with women voters on behalf of Sen. Obama," Clinton said in a statement released by Obama’s campaign Tuesday. "It is so important that we elect a Democrat to the White House, and women will be critical in that effort. I know that the women who joined my campaign will continue to work with Dana and with me to make sure Barack Obama is the next President of the United States."

Former Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle - who made a headline-grabbing exit from the top spot in after disappointing results early in the cycle - was tapped by the Obama team several weeks ago as chief of staff for the eventual vice presidential nominee.

Other Clinton staffers and advisers to join Obama’s campaign since the end of the primary season include former her former policy director, Neera Tanden.

How is that CHANGE?By picking all of HILLARY'S people is not CHANGE,it's the same as usual politics politics of the old.We are not having any CHANGE if he's elected(GOD FIRBID)we are having more of the same.HILLARY SUPPORTER NOT VOTING THIS YEAR.

Lisa   July 8th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

I would Never vote for McCain or Clinton with their "Old Washington" experience. Our nation is in a mess because of the "Old Wahington" way of doing things.

We need someone new, someone with brains, someone with new ideas to lead us in the right direction.

We need Obama !!
Only Obama can heal our country.

Fear mongering for Obama is OKAY   July 8th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

Here comes the fear mongering from the Obama people who rail against fear mongering.

Roe vs Wade – guess the newbie young new democratic women get to pick up where we racist old bitter soon-to-die old white women left off.

Conservative Court- Well Sandra turned out to be one of my favorites after all, so no more fears about that. May teach the "new" democrats not to use HATE against fellow democrats and then expect unity. Besides, senile and aged as we all are, we are too old to care about the FUTURE. court.

The draft. Well... democrats are the ones most likely to reinstate the draft- it is, after all, a more democratic approach to serving and defending our Nation.

dave in cal   July 8th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

I am voting Obama unless he puts Hillary on the ticket. If he does, I'm voting for McCain.

Sorry Hillary, no way!

NO TO OBAMA.

HE WON'T WIN.

Robert in Toronto,ON   July 8th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

For every 1 anti-Obama supporter there are 7 Obama supporters, so your threats will NOT make the difference come November. Accept the inevitable and welcome CHANGE for the BETTER.

Obama – 08

Mary WA   July 8th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

McCain is going to have Roe V Wade overturned. He voted against equal pay for women. Cindy's lobbyists worked worked agaisnt Mother's Against Drunk Drivers to eliminate alcohol content on beer containers. Is this who women want to vote for-out of spite? A lot of you will be running around with out noses after you've cut them off to spite your face(s).

James, Redlands, CA   July 8th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

It still amazes me how some of you Clinton supporters (and fake supporters who are really republicans) continue to ignore the fact that Obama had more pledged delegates, more states won, and as many if not more popular votes if you count the caucous states.

Obama did not steal the election. The Super Delegates were going to have to go one way or the other and they went with the person who was leading.

Get over it in your own time but stop trying to act like Clinton was the winner and had something stolen from her.

Obama is adding her people because she did have some quality people working for her. She just didn't run her campaign in a way that let her win.

Robert   July 8th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain are clearly irrational, basing their decision on bitterness, emotion, and spite. Anyone who can so easily swing from being a Clinton Democrat to a McCain Republican clearly hasn't thought through the issues in an intelligent way. They are deluding themselves.

Emma, San Jose, CA   July 8th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

How about all you PUMA bloggers stay on your hate-filled websites that you've created. Please just go re-register as a republican and spare us the hate. I get the funny feeling that some of you have always been registered republicans anyway.

Hey thats great!! Another member of the losing Clinton team joins Obama's campaign. Well they sure did a great job on Hillary's campaign that was supposed to win this nomination by Feb. Maybe she can share with Obama how to blow a huge lead in the polls to a first term Senator nobody knows. lol. Welcome to President McCain.

Donald, Toronto   July 8th, 2008 2:37 pm ET

It is sad to see so many people so fill with hate or they wer just Republicans posing as Democrats. Why on God's good earth would you be for a certain party and because your candidate was not elected to be the nominee, you will chose to support the other party's candidate for president even after your choice ask that the eventual nominee be supported. Sorry, but many of these people are hiding their dislike for the fact that Obama is a black behind so-call experience.

ladymary   July 8th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

FRIEDA....I am from NY and have not seen Hillary fulfill any of the promises she made to us in her Senatorial bid. She has less elected experience than Obama, she ran a cmpaign into the red so how could she run the country's budget? I don't care how many times she runs for President..she will NEVER get my vote and while all you puma people are threatening not to vote for Obama just think what the Obama voters will do when Hill does run again.......NOTHING!!!!!! You people are not the only ones with long memories. When you get the rust off your brains, think about it.

RH   July 8th, 2008 2:35 pm ET

This is just crazy. Anyone who really supports what Hillary Clinton stands for would never, ever vote for McCain. Never.

At this point a democrat or progressive independent who will not support Obama is, simply put, insane, racist, stupid, ignorant or all of the above.

Joann –

Again you are one of those people who only takes her information from the media. Obama has committed to 16 months. He said this on Thursday when he clarified the meaning of refine.

I really wish most of you would actually listen to the live feeds on CNN so that you get the whole story. If I can suffer through listening to McCain's speeches, you can take the time that you spend reciting the media and listen to the actual live feeds for the REAL INFORMATION.

Jean-Marie   July 8th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Obama is clearly the best choice of all those who have stepped forward to campaign for the office of President of the USA. There are a lot of hurt feelings out there among Hillary's supporters. Her candidacy is over. She is a loyal Democrat and supports the best choice, Obama. Her loyal supporters, who are also fine citizens, will get over their disappointment and support Obama. The rest of the hateful people who claim to support her will go ahead and attempt to shot themselves in the head by voting for McCain or not voting at all. There is nothing anyone can do about that. But we, as Democrats and loyal citizens of this great country, need to focus on saving our beloved country and turning around the incredible disaster of the last eight years by electing Barack Obama President of the United States of America along with a democratic Congress. God Bless America!!!

Angi's mom   July 8th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

Hillary EARNED our votes based on her track history, her work, her qualifications, her experience, her platform and her dedication.

Obama has NONE of those things.

Our vote will NOT simply transfer to Obama.

Remember... we WERE already democrats... and the travesty of this primary drove us away.

We are lifelongs... "outreach" isn't needed for us. We were in and now we are leaving.

Silly dems.

It is so important that we DO NOT elect a Democrat to the White House! Just look at what the inept Democrat party has stood for over the years! The Republicans are not perfect but they stand for true American values. Democrats are from the same vein as the ACLU who have taken our country and handed it over to the left which includes welfare deadbeats, immoral anti-americans and the silent foreign invaders. Just say NO to the Democrat party! I love my country and you are not going to change it into a marxist government. Shame on all Democrats!!

Barbara Gooch   July 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

PUMA,

If you're really undergoing mental anguish, this board is not for you. Go get some help for the mental anguish and come back after November.

Did you ever stop to think that your mental anguish might be because you refuse to accept the fact that the world is changing. It does that sometimes. Just when we think you're really okay with the Model T, Ford comes out with a new car, go figure.

Move on PUMA, the world will not wait for you.

A Democrat No More   July 8th, 2008 2:33 pm ET

I will not be held hostage by the democratic party over Roe v. Wade. If you recall Byron White was a democratically appointed supreme court justice who is staunchly anti-choice. I won't vote on a single issue and I won't vote for Obama. Hiring a Hillary aide is meaningless to me. Hillary as VP would be meaningful.

stoltz61   July 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

Obama can sign on as many Clinton workers as he wants but he will not get my vote nor will the Democratic Party get my vote or my money! Mr. Obama and his kool-aid drinkers can have the party! The party is no longer for the life long members that has supported it. They gave it to the left wing faction and it will never be party it was!

Henry   July 8th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

It amazes me the length the media is prepared to go in order to manufacture some fake controversy. If the highly educated people at CNN cannot define "refine", then I am very shocked , as they did try their best to portray Obama's statement as some sort of flip flop with no evidence to support it. I have sent a copy of the Oxford English dictionary to Wolf Blitzer and his cohorts, I hope it'll help them understand grammar just a little bit more and stop twisting words to get more ratings.

To all you brainwashed Obama supporters, like Chi, Obama needs every vote he can get. It's unAmerican for any of you to say that someone shouldn't vote, just because they support someone that they think truly is THE best candidate of the two. You're complete morons and this entire election is an "obama"nation (translates to abomination) of Democracy, which no longer exists in this country. I am neither Democrat nor Republican. I vote for the person I think is best qualified. That was Hillary until once again, the female was forced to submit.

Sorry, but I don't think that will sell to all the TRUE democrats who have fought for the party ideals of freedom, equality and justice for all over the past decades.

You will have to take the fact that Obama has lost the democratic base for the democratic party. This will cost Obama votes.

My conscience is clear- I cast MY ballot for the very BEST candidate- no racial games, no gender bias, no filthy insults, no hatred, no forceful coercion of the democratic process.

There will be more voters that will come in as women and help Obama win this election because they understand we can'nt afford another Bush term that is what will happen if Mccain is elected.

Henry   July 8th, 2008 2:27 pm ET

I am still unsure why some Hillary supporters will not back Obama and even more, why they feel the need to keep telling everyone about it. The US is a free country and people are allowed to choose. The fact that Obama bit his lip and decided not to go negative on Hillary, but instead relayed the facts to the democratic voters in the primaries, I think is a good thing and It proves that he is a man of respect. I am not sure these Hillary supporters have anything to do with the democratic party in the first place, because if they did, they would see that Obama is the change for the best and McCain is a complete disaster waiting to be unleashed on the American people. I'll also add that if these ignorant people are so concerned about the future of their children and their health, they will not think twice before casting their ballot for Obama.

Hope + Change + Vision = Obama

Nice try but this wont be able to reach the Hillary supporters out there that will not vote for Obama. What they don't get is that, he is an empty suit with no experience. It doesn't help matters when a lot of these Obama supporters are juvenile, snide and arrogant and have really turned off a lot of these Clinton supporters. The issue is a lot deeper than what the media and pundits make it out to be.

I know she has to do what she is doing and I know she cares about the Democrats, but I care about her and the way she was treated and continues to be treated and snubbed by his organization, and I can promise you and anyone else it won't work for me – stick a fork in me I am done with Barack Obama.

No, Michelle in Canada. You need not say more. First, you're in Canada, thus your input means nothing. Second, everyone who appreciated the decision of an activist Supreme Court 35 years ago screams every 4 years that Roe v. Wade will be struck down if a republican gets elected. Out of the 8 presidential elections since that decision, GOP has won 5 times, and guess what? That decision hasn't gone anywhere. Grow up! Find an argument with legs, OK?

Not just because Obama is on the right side of issues important to women, but also because his election will break down barriers that have held back anyone and everyone who wasn't a white male.

A Barack presidency will make it easier for a woman to win in 2016. A McCain presidency will make it easier for another white male to win in 2016.

Jane,

In 4 years we'll be voting for Barack again. So Hillary needs to get in line. She can run in 2016, at which case she'll be 68. That will still be younger than McSame, so all is well. Of course by then they'll be tons of women campaigning for the presidency, who will run circles around Hillary and they won't be selfish liars, either.

Let me stop, the primaries are over, the primaries are over.....the primaries.....

Dr Williams MD. Florida   July 8th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Obama, is doing excellent. He is heavily favored to win the general election. He makes great decision, just like this one!

Mary   July 8th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

I always laugh at how Republicans comment that they are Hillary supporters that will vote for McCain. HA HA HA

Its just about as funny as seeing McCain using the old 2004 campaign tactics in which he used to despise. They are tactics that we can see a mile away.

NOT THIS TIME!!!

No Nos Moveran   July 8th, 2008 2:18 pm ET

The democratic base is gone...possibly for good.

We all hate the direction of the new democratic party. Even those who will still reluctantly vote for the installed democratic nominee this NOV.

Those that Obama has inspired and brought into the party are filled with vitriol. They disrespect fellow Americans, fellow democrats, and even democratic candidates. They argue, not out of an informed opinion but with name-calling belittling insults to demean ALL others who may disagree.

They force, coerce, threaten and demand who gets to be nominee of the party.

This is 3rd world election rigging by propaganda and manipulation of the media. It is not democracy, justice or freedom.

The democrats are fools to think that UNITY is ever possible after the Obama show and the bash-fest of the past 6 months.

Viva Liberty and the right to vote.

J in NO   July 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

And what's even funnier is that most of the people who are saying they won't vote for Obama are probably BROKE!! lol So just keep in mind that at the end of the day, you're BROKE; therefore, McCain has nothing in common with you!! It's so funny that some folks STILL don't realize that!!

Kingslough NY.   July 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Funny i dont hear much of PUMA in here..lol

Dan   July 8th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

Of course Hillary's lying Clark, what else would she be doing. She's a liar, and now the world knows it. The only reason she's saying she's voting for Barack is to get her money back. I really think she'll be writing her own name in, why? Because she is a LIAR.

Having said that, Barack and his supporters are moving on.

The Truth Teller   July 8th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Dear PUMAs, get out those rusty hangers, there will be no abortions. Secure those burial plots, your sons and daughters will be required to shed their blood in Iraq and Iran. Save those canned goods, the depression is coming; led by a president who "doesn't know a lot about economics!" And ladies, you should be looking for a second job, the new supreme court will not uphold equal pay for equal work. Last, look your children and grandchildren in the eyes and explain to them how our environment was decimated by a president who tripled the amount of nuclear waste, blacked our air and atmosphere with coal smelts, and polluted our oceans with oil that made the filthy rich corporations even richer. Please vote for McCain, please. Speed the end of this once strong society.

Xavier, Saint Louis, MO   July 8th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

aliou salam FL   July 8th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Welcome Dana,

Here is what McCain and the republicans are selling: wars and more wars, economic and social crisis and more crisis, Katrina and more Katrina, Swindling our treasury to enrish the rich, the war and oil industries, and more; Lies and more lies.

Make sure women understand that.

According to the media Women who had once supported Hillary Clinton are now moving behind Barack Obama.
I don’t know what women they are polling, but all the women I have spoken to are still very angry about how Hillary was treated by the Media and the DNC. According to the media and the lack of support from the DNC Hillary is not going to be a candidate for President but now they trash her about the VP position. This is unreal.
Once again a man was promoted by the media and the DNC over a woman whom has more experience and qualifications. As a woman who has worked in a male dominated profession I can totally relate to Hillary’s experience. Women I have spoken to that supported Hillary feel the same way. Women still make 70 cents on the dollar as a man doing the same job.
Let us not forget the Black men were able to vote before women.
I will not be voting this election as I don’t think ether current candidate is qualified to be Commander and Chief. I have voted every election since I was 18 and I am now 51.

Texas Speaks   July 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Diane   July 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

People like the morals of Omana, not someone who kept cheating on his wife like McCain or Clinton.

McCain has no morals and should Not be in the White House.

A Post 9/11 Navy Veteran   July 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

You PUMA morons,

For every democrat that votes for McCain, 10 republicans are voting for Obama. Just like there are some democrats that won't vote for Obama because of some hurt feelings instead of the ISSUES like a person SHOULD be voting for, there are a lot of republicans that won't stand to see McCain in the white house. Get over yourselves and vote for the issues, not the person. Unless you all want a government backed on religion alone, which makes no sense. Someone answer me this: How can you outlaw abortion and same-sex marriage without it being based on some religion? Last time I checked not everyone in this country is religious. Most of them act like they are anyways. Tell me how would it be hurting YOU if marriage was universal.....TELL ME HOW IT WOULD HURT YOU TO LET ALL PEOPLE SERVE IN THE MILITARY EQUALLY!!!!!! TELL ME HOW IT WOULD HURT YOU FOR A WOMAN TO MAKE HURT OWN CHOICE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PUSH ANY BELIEFS ON THAT PERSON!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WENT ON IN HER LIFE FOR HER TO MAKE THE CHOICE!!!! THE GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER OUTLAW ABORTION NOR WILL IT MAKE MARRIAGE JUST BETWEEN A WOMAN AND MAN WITHOUT IT BEING A TOTAL UPROAR IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!! DO YOU WANT THAT????!!!!!!

J in NO   July 8th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

For all of those who keep saying "I will not vote for Obama," etc. etc. OKAY...we get it!! But I have one question: Other than you, "WHO CARES?!?!?!?!" I mean really....you're not hurting his pockets. So good for you!!

Demi, MT   July 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Frieda,

You're in a fantasyland if you think the GOP is going to win New York. It aint gonna happen Frieda. When you wake up on November 5th, trust me–NEW YORK will be in the blue column, Obama's column. So stop pouting, join the winning team and get over yourself. Contrary to what your candidate thinks, this election is about the people, not special interests.

Jason   July 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Everyone jumping on Frieda for her opinion needs to back off you are what is wrong with this country. A persons opinion no matter how different from yours is their right. When we stop bashing people for having an opinion and start working for common good we will be a better country. I can't stand by and watch you people continue to bash everyone who thinks differently it drives me crazy. We are americans vote american be american do what is best in YOUR opinion for this country and stop bashing those who are doing what they think is best for them. Finding common ground is hard but worth it. Stop saying all these hillary haters Obama haters blah blah because your just a hater yourself. Hello kettle I'm the pot.

Enlightened Voter   July 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Lisa and April – do you really think Hillary cares about you? Honestly? She ran a lousy campaign (all her fault) mismanaged her finances (all her fault) and lost (fault due to the 18 million who voted for Barack and the super delegates who couldn't or wouldn't support Clinton cause they knew them too well) Go get your meds and be happy girls. Btw THERE ARE MANY WHO WOULD NEVER HAVE NOR WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY, REMEMBER THAT.

Susan from Scotts Valley, CA   July 8th, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Lisa:
That's a heckuva thing to say about your candidate. Why would she be lying? Why would she want to put this Country at risk in the hands of someone who disagrees with her very being of what she stands for? Just so she run for President in 2012? That would be really selfish of her and I have too much respect for her to think she'd sacrifice this country for her own political ambitions. She ran a great race but lost. If her supporters put McCain in office, that will be very sad for all of us and won't help her in 2012 despite what they might think.

Freida, NYC should vote for who ever she wants. It is not un-American to vote republican, to switch parties, or to become an independent. Not voting at all would be un-American. Voting your conscience is the ultimate American act.

Having said this, I hope Freida and others like her (Hillary supporters or republican baiters posing as Hillary supporters) come to their senses and vote for change.

I am a die-hard Hillary supporter. I am not part of PUMA, even though I understand their point of view. Obama has not won me over yet and his wishy-washy stance the last few weeks makes me really believe that the DNC made the wrong choice. That said, I will vote for the democrat in the general election, I just might not be as excited about it as I would if the most qualified,deserving candidate was my choice. Obama needs a strong running mate and I will not be happy if Hillary is not his choice. So Obama fans, be fair. Obama needs to prove he is ready. I am still waiting. Of course, I, a true democrat, can not vote republican, but I also refuse to go blindly behind my parties candidate.

A house divided   July 8th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Living through the terrible, hateful, fixed for Obama primary, I can say that this is just too little too late:

If the democratic party valued its lifelong democratic party base...

And if Obama wants our votes....

He and his hateful cult following should have shown HRC the respect she has earned and deserves.

He and his filthy, vulgar, loudmouthed supporters should have never insulted, debased, mocked, ridiculed and insulted greater than 50% of the democratic party.

Too little, too late.

Texas Trail Dog, you love quoting the Bible, and then throwing your own words in as a quote. Are you God? Your interpritation is way off base. People said the same thing about JFK when he ran. Now he is one of the most popular presidents of all time. He had the power to motivate. Which is all Obama has done, motivated the people of this country to make it a better place, in stead of the same old games. Is that evil?

ml   July 8th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

comment to BIG story about a dog: it is great they want a dof – but what child does not?
I think that this is not national political story, and that children should not be exploited – used in political world as such. Care for them, do things for them, but why is this news? In this country is a lot of kids who go sleep hungry. Do not have toys. Have sad lives -this is a material for politics, for news.
These 2 girls live life of rich: big house, private school, nannies, etc.
The are cute, but every child is cute!
Tis is why I admire Cindy for doing what she does for kids, or Angelina Jolie....help unfortunate children. I myself adopted a child -after having 2 of my own. If I could afford it, I would adopt more, or help more. No child should suffer.
All this brouhaha is not right.
How about Obama's help some kids, donate to charities? Adopt kids? This would make my heart melt. It is good they have nice family, but it is so easy when having easy money. They have easy money, they do not have to work 2 jobs, struggle, they were so lucky in their life. I wish them that, but it seems that they are out of touch of what people do need.

When one has to work 2 jobs to make it , cannot afford private schooling, cannot have mansion, or even a house, food.....these people need help, opportunity to get on their feet.

I am becoming convinced more and more that a number of these pro-Hillary/anti-Barack posters really are just GOP imposters. I have met too many former Clinton supporters who may not have liked the final result but know that Barack is far closer to what Hillary represented than McCain ever will be. I am not in favor of having Hillary on the ticket but think that she should be a high level cabinet appointee.

Michigander   July 8th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Ladies if we want to be equal and play with the boys, lets start by being adults.not by saying if you don't let me win i am going to take my ball and go home!!!!

EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN UP   July 8th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

I, along with Freida from NYC, will also not vote for Obama, and I am a life long liberal. Freida, please stand you ground and don't listen to these people. Obama is a scam and he will NOT win in November. I have to admit though that it will be strange voting republican for the first time in my life.

Jan,

You have a lot of nerve to say the Clintons can't be trusted. I think 8 years of peace and prosperity is enough proof that the Clintons have this country's best interest at heart.

Jan, you are stupid. Leave the Clintons alone.

As for Obama, I guess Affirmative Action is live and well in the U.S. The most important job in the world could possibly end up with the LEAST qualified candidate.

I read all about how well Obama represented IL while on his book tour. And as soon as he stepped in the U.S. Senate, he started running for Pres. Face it, Obama is going to be another corporate puppet directed by the likes of Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, etc.

Welcome to socialism.

You and PUMA's really need to get a grip on reality and get on with your lives, or better yet, jump on the winner's bandwagon and do something meaningful to help our country with your currently wasted energy.

Sorry, no cigar. If BO had lost the primary, we'd be hearing RACISM and it would be BIG NEWS, HEADLINES. Where are the headlines about sexism?

Those reponsible for division in the Demoractic party are those democrat Hillary haters (mostly male) who encouraged BO to run a against the most qualified and popular candidate who happened to be a woman. They picked someone surely who divide the Dems.... a minority, male, good packaging and smooth talking.

I WILL BE WRITING IN HILLARY'S NAME IN NEW YORK. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HER AS OUR SENATOR. SOMEWHERE WOMEN HAVE TO TAKE A HARD STAND EVEN IF IT MEANS TAKING A STEP BACKWARDS SO THAT THEY CAN BE HEARD. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE?

Don't pay attention to the gallup polls, its the electoral college thats important. And Obama is competitive in 14 states that formerly voted Republican. Hows that for %2 gallup poll lead.

Don't forget what happened in 2000. Majority of the votes DOESN'T count; it's where (states) you get the necessary votes that does.

Lawrence   July 8th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

I'm trying to understand something. Are people loyal to the person or to the party? Someone had to win and someone had to loose within the party, because your person lost you want to switch teams. Now that is the oddest thing I've heard. It's funny how some of you are more loyal to a pro team, that gives you nothing but wins or loses, than a party that can dictate many avenues of your lives. I know I watch many of the news shows and they stated that Hillary and Barack were a lot alike on many issues but the were different from McCain. How do you not vote for the person more like the person you were supporting and vote for the person nothing like the person you were supporting. Can someone explain that logic to me, beyond hurt feelings?

My first big disappointment with Bill and Hillary Clinton was when they folded and failed to fight back on a single payer health care system.

That was when I realized that Bill didn't have the 'sand' to get something critical done.

With Obama - I am not concerned about the public financing change, or the discussion of the Iraq policy, or the death penalty statement - but I am NOT happy about the FISA bill change - or the faith based initiatives.

I want to know he is going to stand for something, not only when it's easy.

What is wrong with you people? Why would you vote for McCain? Fine, abstain from election if you don't want to vote for Obama, but to vote for McCain? You must be so unsure what HIllary's campaign idealogies were about! They were ceretainly closer in spirit to Obama than that old guy's McSame.

Vote McSame Freida and *hush*   July 8th, 2008 2:04 pm ET

Please Freida vote McCain. It is important for you to pay more for everything. I am guessing you are some corporate money making machine. I am sure you can afford whatever John McMindless throws your way.

If he does win because of your vote, I would like to see him come to your rescue when you are packing up your house, trailer, apartment, box, whatever you live in b/c you cant afford the payments.

Or when he sends your nephew, son, or even your daddy to Iraq to fight a war that continues to make the GOP rich and You poor.

But you don't have Regular people's problems anyway. That's why you voted for Hillary ....................who just happens to be a Democrat.

Boy you are verrrrry smart!

J. Richter   July 8th, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Think McCain cares about PUMAs?

- McCain allowed a supporter to use the 'b' word on Hillary and only laughed uncomfortably.

- McCain abandoned a disfigured wife and started off with one several decades younger (and several millions richter). Use them and dump them.

- Thinks women are not smart or responsible enough to decisions without government legislation about their bodies and their children.

- Voted against the bill for equal pay for women in same positions

And I will not add the unconfirmed other disrectful stands against women.

Dissapointment will render us foolish. Having no life will make us insane and holding on to what is over at the expense of what is best now.

Guaranteed Clinton has already said no way to being VP.

She will watch Dem party crumble when Obama is decimated by voters.

She will sit back and watch Dean and Pelosi take it in the rear for their terrible leadership and also stabbing her in the back.

All the cronies who supported Obama will fade away into nothingness and John McCain will lead this great country back to the top of the charts!

No worries Obama fans, he will make the rounds on the speech circuit, write a few more books and make millions in the process. Don't you worry, yes he can!

This is great news! For the majority of Americans that do not have the all or nothing mentality, realize that Obama and Clinton were 97% the same on all their positions. This will help meld the Democrats message. It is such a positive sign, especially in contrast to the disastrous campaign McBush is running.

Every vote for MCCain is a vote against Hillary having a job.. AND a VP spot doesn't give her as much power to change Health Care as a cabinet position and we ALL know Hillary loves her power!! I think your bitterness is clouding your senses. I cannot for the life of me figure out how Democrats supporting Democrat (Obama) is disloyal??????? Sheesh grow up.

LawrenceNYC21   July 8th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Freida, your vote is not needed here in NY. Obama is already getting 60% of the vote.

Didine, I always keep that in mind. Republicans are sneaky and are very good at dividing americans instead of uniting. All this nonsense about Hillary supporters not backing Obama, is just that, nonsense. Just look at the margin that he's winning NY (The state she represents).

I have to admit that even now I am amazed at the number of women on this site that say they are Hillary supporters and are going to vote for McCain. I am a Republican woman of Hillary's age, and I won't even vote for him due to his reversal on judges from his stand in 2000. I wonder how many of them are even really women. McCain has a 0 score on voting for women's issues. That is on everything from equal pay to insurance paying for the pill. Even if you are against women's right to choose, there have to be doubts about him in your mind as to why he is so against anything that has to do with women.

Power to the People = Former Repug   July 8th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

If all the PUMA crabs were really Dems they will vote for the more Presidential GOP candidate who is Ron Paul or Bob Barr.
Operation chaos is a flop. Can't vote for McBush who whose record on women's rights is abyssmal.

Obama 08

Lisa   July 8th, 2008 1:59 pm ET

II voter

Hillary didn't win because the DNC gave her supporters a half a vote. They also took four of Hillary delegates and gave it to Obama.

That's why Hillary didn't win, and that's why many believe they stole the election like George W Bush.

Robert   July 8th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Obama is a cheat....and will loose in a landslide! Then all the traitors like this one will just have to go find new careers. The DNC is debating about putting Clinton on the ballot. It is because she would win and their 'boy' would loose. Obama is unelectable and that is all the DNC should be looking at. Welcome President McCain.

saga4obama   July 8th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

to Clinton's supporter from San Diego, Freida, NYC ever stop to think is McCain were to win, what are you going to tell your kids in 4 years? a vote for McCain is like watching your child playing with the stove and not saying anything to make him/her stop before they Burn themselves.
Google McCain:Keating 5, the McCain Bill (how he stopped families from getting info about their POWs), USS Forrestal 1967, Abortion rights, Vicki Iseman," the man John McCain chose to be his "Hispanic Outreach Director." Juan Hernandez is a self-certified traitor", the Rothschild donation, giving up Military Information as a POW, "He has promoted illegal amnesty for millions of illegal aliens", 6 top advisers are big oil lobbyist," His McCain-Feingold bill has destroyed much of the rights of people to take part in the political process the way they see fit. This bill remains unConstitutional and a major affront to the First Amendment protections on the right of free speech. "
John McCain has "experience...but it is all DIRTY. think of your kids, think of our country. please stop the selfish hate that will destroy our country with a McCain Administration

Hang on, how in the world is it 'Unamerican' to vote for McCain instead of Obama if you are a Hillary Clinton supporter? Unwise, potentially, but unamerican?

Amerika the beautiful   July 8th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Hillary ran against a young, inexperienced, totally untested and unqualified person. Just because he is half black- and HRC had the audacity to run anyway- that made HER a racist.

Obama ran against a strong, smart, highly qualified, experienced person. Since she was middle aged, white and a woman- THAT MUST THEN mean he is ageist, reverse-racist, sexist and mysogynist.

All you lying, racist, sexist hypocrits for Obama who trashed and bashed the BEST PERSON out of the race.

JB   July 8th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

PUMA is American. To be allowed to act that dumb, is exactly what we protect.

If Hillary ran as an Independent, it would ensure a McCain victory. Neither Shrillary or Obama would stand a chance.

And finally, I would love to hear from a PUMA member: How exactly was Hillary treated unfairly? How was the election stolen from her?

Be specific! You throw out these absurd accusations, but never explain them. I would argue that Obama played by the rules, and won fair and square.

Oh and one more thing: All you women out there screaming for Sebilius or Clinton – DO YOU REALIZE THAT IS GENDERISM!! I thought you wanted everyone to be treated fairly, and yet you clearly don't care about anything other than their gender!!!!!! Hypocrites!

J   July 8th, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Obama's message is about change. Hillary is the exact opposite of that. She is practically a slave to lobbyists and special interests. She lost, she's out, be grateful.

Why do Hillary supporters want her on the ticket as VP? It’s a do little job and she’d lose her Senate seat. How many VP’s have gone on to be elected President? Not many.

Any Hillary supporter who is even considering supporting McCain is a freaking IDIOT. I'm done indulging their selfishness, stupidity and craziness, and I am thrilled they are leaving the Democratic party since it's obvious they have no Democratic values and ONLY voted for Hillary because she's a woman.

Bye PUMAs. Don't let the door hit yer big ol' butts on the way out!

Kathy   July 8th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

HRC supporters who have such difficulty accepting Obama's candidacy seem to have problems which go beyond politics into issues of self acceptance and interpersonal conflicts. Pity them. They present such a hateful face. Obama supporters need to move on down the road in the company of genuine Democrats, including those who originally supported the other fine presidential candidates, all of whom now express committed support for Barack Obama.

Marcus B   July 8th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

P.U.M.A. is a bunch of rebellious brats! Who cares who they vote for? Vote for McCain....he needs rebound voters like you PUMA chumps to keep this race exciting. Without your votes, Obama could take a nap until November and still win! If Hillary sees the importance in voting a Democrat into the White House, why can't her 18,000,000 supporters? I know, because they want to be part of a stupid organization that is not going to make a grain of difference in the end!

OBAMA/SEBELIUS 2008-2016!!!!!!!

Sharon   July 8th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I think it is customary for people on one campaign to go to another campaign after the primary. The only thing about this was Patty Solis Doyle who was let go and then landed the VP Chief of Staff when there is not a VP yet. Its makes me think that Obama wants a spy on board and I think she could have been a spy planted in Hillary 's campaign. If this is so she is a traitor. Remember we are talking about arrogant Obama – it would not surprise me. He would do anything at any cost to win.

Marie in California   July 8th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I don't care how many of Hillary's people jump in the tank with Obama, or even if Hillary is on the ticket as VP, he will still not get my vote. I am totally disgusted with how the DNC handed Obama the nomination on a silver platter, and I no longer feel they have any integrity and I sure as heck don't trust them any more. Also, I won't be a party to prolonging their stupidity and audacity (wasn't that Obama's word?).

Besides, I've always been a centrist/moderate, and Obama is waaaay too Far Left, at the ultra-extreme, for my taste.

Formerly a lifelong Democrat.....now a brand new Republican.

It just goes to show you that the campaigns are uniting and that Barack is serious about wanting to reach out to Hillary's voters. And Hillary's endorsement of this move, reinforces her commitment to electing Barack. That's a good thing.

If Hillary doesn't see her as a traitor, why should any of you. Despite your anger, folks, Hillary and Barack are on the same team. You can't be a traitor if you're still working for the same team.

Sandy   July 8th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

PUMAs...do as you please, we can win without you. But just know that had Clinton gotten the nomination I'm sure you wouldn't have had many Obama supporters saying they wouldn't vote for her. But since you all are determined to not vote for Obama, you can kiss Clinton's chances of ever winning a national election goodbye. His supporters will never support her if you do that to their candidate. Grow up, you are acting like children throwing a temper tantrum. This is politics, not a popularity contest in High School. Your position is blatantly clear to all, you are prepared to cut off your own nose to spite your face. McCain doesn't share Clinton's position on ANY of the important issues.

PEGGY   July 8th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Freida, NYC

People, give Freida, of NYC a break, poor dear, she must be in her 80's or 90's who do not love change.
Individuals like her comes like the FARC. If she was a true democrat, then she should know how hard Hilasry worked to gain those 18 mil supporters. Obama is a democrat, and because he won the nominee, poor Freida is sad. God bless the young people who can see and knows better.

Individuals like Freida, and all those negative democratics who are or thinking of staying home, in the final stage of voting in N ovember, do so, because you are all old folks who do not like change, and I truly belive, it is the colour of the man's skin which you hate.

I only hope whenever one of you do need a doctor or a nurse, and they are no other doctors around, other than a black doctor, you behave the same way, and say, you rather die than be touched by a black doctor or nurse.

Lake Michigan   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Clinton supporter from San Diego, we don't need disloyal people like you who pretend to be democrats and aren't. We don't need your vote, so go cry in a corner somewhere or get some therapy.

Is that the tide I hear turning?   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

The Gallup Poll has Obama now only up by two points over McCain – 46%-44%. Interesting.

Why don't all you cry baby Puma idiots go vote for MCcain believe me he needs your help to win this election. Hahaha its just so funny to see these ppl get slammed every week and than they come running to the blog forums crying how they not gonna vote for Obama (LOL)..

Sola Adedokun   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

I cannot understand why some Hillary supporters keep threatening they would vote for McCain over Obama. Hillary and McCain are like Oil and Water- they don't mix . Those people are either bad loosers or without principle. Obama and Hillary are doing their best to keep the party together.
Think about this – what if you vote for McCain in November but Obama wins? You will will be angry with yourself for the next 4 years or 8 years.

Keep your vote, we don't need it. We will win and will be in Washigton, D.C. in January for the inaugural.

Tee from Florida   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Freida, I don't believe you were a Clinton backer in the beginning. I think you are someone that wants McCain to win and you are trying to bolster up support for him. If you were a Clinton backer, you would know that there were not many stark differences in Obama.s policies. So nice try.....Vote for McCain and when things are rougher than they are now keep on spewing your hate cause thats all you will have left.

lorraine   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

I feel the same way that lots of the Hillary supporters feel and that is cheated, she should of won, he stole her ideas, he constantly critisized her over her voting for the war in Iraq, now that he needs Hillary to sway her followers he is saying how great she is??? To me this is two faced and I do not like two faced people either.

michael   July 8th, 2008 1:47 pm ET

Once again, you Obama supporters are showing how nasty you really are. I just don't get it. If you hate Hillary, fine, but please knock off the disrespectful comments aimed toward her. She does not deserve it........at all! That's why so many of her supporters feel such animosity.
If you want her supporters to vote Obama you better start acting more civil.

Blah, Blah, Blah. For all those fixated on Hillary Clinton (negatively or positively), you will likely get what you deserve. We should be moving forward. Life will move forward. Hillary Clinton is a good leader and worthy senator. She is not going to be the nominee. Both her detractors and supporters need to move beyond it or miss the larger picture that WILL impact their lives.

Righteous indignation on either side is going to be proven POINTLESS.

johnr   July 8th, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Obama is a looser. He will say what ever he needs to say, depending on the group he is in front of. Clearly, no one can trust any of his 'campaign" promises – he hasn't even made it out of the campaign yet and his word is worth nothing already.
He is a slick tongued speaker but he has no substance.
Wake up America – this guy is a disaster.

Freida,

Voters like you show how most Americans do not vote on issues, but make their decisions on uninformed, superficial matters. Clinton and Obama's positions were almost identical, while McCain's Republican policies are miles away.

Let's continue moving backwards, funding this war on terror, and moving into a deeper recession!! Mccain/Bush!!

I think it is so funny that Fox Noise would hire Howard Wolfson, knowing how much he hates Barack. That is the best job for him to get in order to continue to attack Barack, since we know that Fox's main goal is to stop Barack from winning the presidency, which they will not succeed.

Okay, so Howard loses and Barack wins. Good guys always finish last, and Barack will finish with a bang.

saga4obama   July 8th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

i like Hillary, respect her dedication, intelligence and her honor to this country...i think she is a great politician and a wonderful woman...now that being said i was and am really disgusted with SOME of her supporters. seeing her speeches and hearing the way the crowds booed Mr. Obama like they were a bunch off savages really turned me off. their inability to see that these two people caused a revolution in American history is dishartening. and still, it is groups like PUMA who are turning that very Revolution into a Civil War...and what a shame. Obama might not have the :"experience" Mrs Clinton has, but he did win...and before you even say anything, the truth is it should not have even been close if Mrs. Clinton had soooo much over Mr. Obama.
you people talk about Obama used ace, sexist, cheated, was disrespectful blahblahblah...i have asked time and time again to prove your point and nothing. when was he all those things you say he was? what debt? what speech did he put Mrs. Clinton down? the Annie Oakley thing? is that it? but dont worry, for those of you who are bitter she lost, i am making a donation to help her end her debt in your Bitter Honor. and those of you now with Obama, welcome (((HRCS))) hugs

Nikki, how dare you? How dare you tell anyone that how they choose to vote is UNAMERICAN. It may not be what YOU like so I'm sure you would rather the "traitors" stay home, but the people who have turned to the PUMA movement , those who feel more loyalty to country than party, those who feel that a nominee was shoved down their throats by the DNC rather than selected by the voters, those people are just as much Americans as anyone else, and guess what? They still get to vote and have a say in who leads this country. THAT, my dear, is the American way.

John in Columbus Ohio   July 8th, 2008 1:42 pm ET

All the people who say "Hillary or McCain" may as well be saying "Whites only in the White House".

What views do Hillary and McCain have even remotely in common? What makes somebody think "Well, if I can't vote for Hillary, I'll vote for McCain, his positions are pretty close to hers". Not a flipping one. The only thing they have in common is that they occasionally try to act like moderates, and they've gone drinking together.

There are only two reasons to say "Hillary or McCain": petty hateful sore-loser spite, and petty hateful racism. Grow up. Get out of the 50s.

I guess that bringing on board all of the staff from Hillary's failed old style political campaign will somehow enhance Barack's new style politics of change. Or maybe he sees the need to move towards the old standard politics to enhance his chances of winning. Or maybe he's still the empty suit bobble head doll who's not sure what his position is.

a) Democrats are always smarter and more intellectual about the case / rationale for their positions than their oponents but they also communicate in a way that come across as COMPLEX. This intimidates and goes over the head of the general population.

Few people (even then) thought George Bush was smarter than Gore or Kerry and yet they voted for him.

b) Remember Ross Perot’s simple charts? Some people made fun of him but those Simple Charts gave visual Americans a way to get the message and Perot pick up voters through the FALL of 1992 even though no one thought he could win.

c) Tell Simple Stories … always limit yourselves to making 3 points … it’s all most Americans can remember / recall. Today I'd like to talk to you about 3 things ..... 1, 2, 3

Former Hillary Supporter   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I am an avid Hillary Supporter. I believed Hillary would make a better President. HOWEVER, I am now an avid Obama supporter. He has my support, my vote, and some of my money. To all of the Hillary holdouts, Look at the issues. Do you want 100 more years of war, Do you want your women's reproductive rights dictated by the government, Do you want better education for our children, Do you want more out of control spending, etc..... I wanted Hillary (just like some of you) to be the nominee. That is not our choice now. It is either an old man with old ideas or a new direction with new ideas and a change from the most destructive president in US history. Our choice is really a simple one. Was there gender bias in the process.. YOU BET YOUR LIFE THERE WAS! Can we change the past? No.. Can we look to the future. Yes.

gluv   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

@ freida....hillary already implied she'll disown your support if you vote for mccain, and she's 130% on board with obama...she long have let bygones be bygones and is more concern about the future of this country than living in regret and begs you should do the same

hillary and obama's policies were virtually identical...granted it was a nasty campaign, but if they're adult enough to unified then y'all shoud as well...

y'all are slapping hillary directly in the face by not supporting her new campaign to get obama elected....if you are truely a hillary supporter then you would support her wishing...if you're not, then you never cared for the issues and problems of this country...i say again hillary and obama's policies are virtually the same....so if you wan to vote for mccain, you're basically voting against the issues that hillary stood for

Enlightened Voter   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Can you people believe there are still people out there whining how they still want Hillary? Incredible! Funny though, they can't blame her financial mismanagement nor debt on Obama. She ran a lousy campaign and would have run this country the same way.

J.S.   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Obama needs Hillary Clinton–not her aides

Nom Deplume   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

The Hill crowd had better worry that they are giving up their Centrist credibility. Obama's latest policy announcement, that he would roll back bankruptcy reform (in order to allow "his" constituents to run up their credit cards and then skate (kind of like legalizing theft)), is the latest plank in his "Robin Hood" economic policy, and a new lurch back to the left after he spent the last week trying to steer to the right for the general election.

One need look no further than the stock market: The Obama Sell-Off is well underway, and even oil dropping by nearly $10 a barrel can't halt the slide. Also, as I had predicted, foreign companies are looking at acquiring american companies, made cheaper because an Obama victory means that they can't get out from under the uniquely U.S. tax policy of taxing a corp. on worldwide income (no other industrialized country does that).

Couple that with the new "exit tax" that the Congress rammed through (joining Nazi Germany, the USSR, and apartheid So. Africa as the only major governments with exit taxes) and you have the makings of a tremendous capital exodus–It will be far cheaper, taxwise, to buy an american multinational (and dump the tax burden on its foreign sales) than to set up shop here.

Change is a-coming. Hillary apparatchiks may want to steer clear of it though.

Kathleen   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

Good job cueing the hate, here we go–you nailed it.

OK susie, and other can't-get-over-it Hillary supporters: Hillary can not run as an independent. The rules for presidential elections specifically prohibit it–Rule II.A. states that if a candidate loses their primary they are ineligible to run as an independent. Sorry. Now, dry your tears and join us in electing the best hope for America: Obama in '08!

Simply amazing   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

It still amazing how some people still blame Obama for Clintons loss. Here is something you may or may not know, SOMEONE HAS TO LOOSE!!! Wheather it's your candidate of choice or someone elses.

To freida, NYC yeah big jump from Hillary to McCain, shows you are just in a word "STUPID!!!!"

Susie, if Hillary ran as an independent she would never win and would FOREVER ruin her changes of becoming President. You seem to forget Obama had 18 million plus voters to.

Sen.John McCain't!   July 8th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

This person is a traitor for campaigning for Obama.....? What makes the so-called18million(guesstimation)voters willing to become a traitor fo Hillary by voting for her OTHER opposition?

I dindnt win? really? well i am taking my toys and going home! so there!

Independant   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Hey, Freida, NYC

I can tell your not a Democrat if you can support Bush III.

Charles of NC   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I have come to the revelation that all the supports for Senator Hillary Clinton that are stating that they will never vote for Obama. Actually, they really are going to vote for him, they just want to make the public statement that they aren't for Obama. But behind the voting curtain-trust me- they'll be Pro Obama!!!!!!!!! Sorry people it didn't want to burst your bubble, but it needed to be said or written.

dave   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I want Hillary on the ticket!

Ms. D   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Obama sure don't need Frieda's vote because his numbers had started going up before Hilary start campaining!! If you want to be stuck on stupid and vote for Mccain, so be it. Get over it!!

Montana is Obama Country   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Clinton's supporter from San Diego says "I don't like disloyal peolple and will never vote for Obama."

Neither does BUSH... It's pretty obvious which side of the fence your on.. Repubs.... keep your vote.. better yet don't vote.. America will be a better place without your bitter comments.. Buh-Bye..

Yes WE Can.. Obama ... 2008,2012

B, Atlanta   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

Will vote Obama if he puts Hillary on the ticket. Otherwise going McCain.

Marlo Stansfield   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

and here comes the puma horde with their petulant, child-like posts-

pledging their dozens and dozens of votes to McCain! Dozens, I say!

Freida, NYC   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

And to Chi,

Obama does need my vote and the votes of all the Hillary supporters that will not back him in the fall. He will not win without us, so shut up already!

mt, ct   July 8th, 2008 1:35 pm ET

I do not like these swings to other candidate if the one is out. I like Hillary, and will not change my mind. Sorry to all the pushers..
Well, people can do what they want, I want to be left alone with my decision. I have the spine.
As independent I do not really care about parties, I want the best for this country, as of now, I do not think either of these 2 will do it.
Hillary was the best. I truly do think so.

ARB   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

obama rocks!

aware   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Give it up Dana!

Women scorned will never vote for Obama and many disillusioned men won't either!

On to Denver people. The media created and anointed, arrogant, egomaniac Obama is not fit to be president of the USA. :(

Don't encourage Obama's lust for power and phony grab for attention by paying for Mile High Stadium with a seating capacity of 75,000. He is only the presumptive nominee!

Oscar Wilton   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I don't mind when someone doesn't agree with his policies or issues, but i feel that the simple minded people that are following the 'scary seeds' planted by the right wingers are just falling in line like lemmings. This man did not rise to the top because his father was president, he worked for it and helped the city of Chicago tremendously(look into it). I can't stand the politics of fear. Even after 8 YEARS of this mess we are in, there are still people who will 'stay the course' and won't acknowledge that they made a mistake voting for Bush, who will go down as the worst president in American history.

Tim   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

I would bet that 3/4 of the people who say "I support Hillary and would never vote for Obama." are wolves in sheep's clothing and never were Hillary supporters. So don't even take the bait. If they do feel that way, then why try to debate with a crazy person? Has that ever worked?

Change is coming !   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Freida and the rest of you die hard Hillary supporters..

Grow up and Get over it. Dont cut off your nose to spite your face.
I know children that behave more maturely than you guys.

Obama 08/12

Belle2   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Doesn't matter; I will not vote for the Democratic version of Bush. Obama is, after all, the real Bush-like candidate (not McCain). He has no experience (W had a bit more than Obama but not much) and he is just as arrogant. This country needs a good President who could bring about change similar to that of the Clinton years. It is a shame that we have to choose between Obama and McCain.

Cathy in MD   July 8th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Freida, NYC and the rest ... Don't be so irresponsible. Hillary is not in the running anymore, and voting for McCain to make a point is like cutting off your nose to spite your face – extremely damaging, ineffective and irreversible. People who really care about the future of this country will vote for Obama, not McCain ... period. Do the right thing. Obama '08.

S. Boatman Warrensburg Mo.   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Another Blow To The Mccain Camp!

doris   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

To Freida, NYC - who gives a rat's behind if you don' vote for Obama. The Obama supporters are not going lose any sleep over it. We're really sick and tired of people like you making that stupid statement. WE DON'T CARE who you vote for. It is a free country! Obama is going to win anyway because it is his time. Now take that to the bank!

Obama/Clarke 08

Yvonne in MO   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

That's WONDERFUL!

Blayze Kohime   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

@ "Clinton's supporter from San Diego"
This has nothing to do with disloyalty. She joined his team with Hilary Clinton's blessing. That's called 'joining forces', not 'betraying'.
It seems to be that the comments from the people that still want to vote for Hilary are especially hateful, almost half as bad as the comments from some McCain supporters even. Maybe you should calm down and think about things in a more calm manner, realizing that if you truly support Hilary you should support the path she has chosen, and that is to make Obama President. His supporters are not your enemy and never were.

Chuck   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

It's a PAID job. How is this news?

PUMA!!!

urbantexan   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

supporter from San Diego and Frieda,
Please don't vote or vote for mccain we don't really give a good rat's patootie what you do with your vote ,oh I got an idea shove that vote !!!!

Freida, NYC   July 8th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

To Nikki, Florida

Voting for Obama is the most "UNAMERICAN THING YOU CAN POSSIBLE DO."

mitchell hussein martin   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

susie.hillary supports barack.she will not run independent.she believes in the democratic party,and is loyal to that party,unlike so many of her supporters.

Montana is Obama Country   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Maximize our UNITY....

Yes...>WE<...Can....

S. Boatman Warrensburg Mo.   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Obama Keeps Adding The Best To His Campaign! The Mccain Camp Keeps Scrambling And Picking Up The Losers!

Jason   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Frieda, go ahead and vote for McCain. Obama will carry NYC easily. Your vote couldn't mean any less. Fortunately the rest of NYC is more intellegent then that.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

OBAMA PUTS TOGETHER THE MOST ORGANIZED AND QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO CREATE A POWERFUL CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION AND THIS IS HIS FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. JOHN MCCAIN IS ON HIS SECOND PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN AND SHOULD HAVE "EXPERIENCE" BUT HE HASN'T BEEN SUCCESSFUL. HE HAS TOUTED THE WORD "EXPERIENCE" THRU HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGN AND HAS PROVED TO BE A FAILURE HIMSELF. WHAT MORE DOES ONE NEED TO KNOW OBAMA IS QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT.

Jim from IL   July 8th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

Shame on Rebecca Sinderbrand for being on Obama's payrole!!

Conan   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Thats gonna help....

Rachel   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Come on Obama your grabbing all of Hill's people go ahead and add the top dog herself Hill. You know yah wanna. Dont be scary.

Susan   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Hopefull, she will bring in more of Clinton's supporters. While they feelings may be bruised, by voting for McBush, they spit at everything that Sen. Clinton stands for!

Bill From Florida   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

You may have some Clinton supporters going over to Obama, but
more will Not. I do not trust this man, he flip flops more than a fish
out of water and this is only the beginning. He is so cocky he makes my skin crawl. He is buying his way into the presidency.SHAME ,SHAME on the american people for even thinking
of putting this man and his anti american wife in the white house.

PT   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Freida, NYC
IT IS SAD THAT U ARE SO CAUGHT UP IN "YOUR OWN WORLD" THAT U WOULD RATHER SEE MCCAIN IN THE WHITEHOUSE. DO U NOT UNDERSTAND THAT HILLARY WILL BE A WORKING AS DILIGENTLY IN THE WHITEHOUSE ALTHOUGH SHE WON'T BE THE PRESIDENT, IF OBAMA IS THE WINNER? LET GO OF THE GRUDGE. IT IS NOT HEALTHY!

Janet Jacme   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Team Obama -

Keep banging away and you'll get the majority of the thinking women.

You'll bring more 18 to 24 year olds to the voting boths than ever before.

You've energized the Democratic base

You're pulling Indepedents & Republicans that have tired of the rhetoric and divissive ways of the current administration and its proxies.

If you stay on message and pursue McCain RELENTLESSLY, he will fall.

Your coalition is simply too broad and too strong. Don't go soft on us.

Simon   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Clinton supporters who refuse not to vote for Obama should just come out and say I'm a racist instead of the BS about his policies because 95% of Clinton and Obama's policies are similar.

Ricka   July 8th, 2008 1:31 pm ET

Democrats are in it to win the election in November. It is time to move on and forget the past. We cannot change the past nor live in the past. It is just what it says it is: the past. As Senator Obama and Clinton came together to win as a party, so must the people. God bless America.

Anonymous   July 8th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Freida in NYC:

It is true that it is your right to vote for whomever you choose, but I for the life of me can not understand your stance of Hillary or McCain end of story. These are two individuals that have nothing in common as far as ideals go but just for spite you would vote for a totally different party. That is just sad............

Peter   July 8th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

If you PUMA people are serious, you are truly misguided.

How can 4 (or 8) years of McCain make sense to you? Even Hillary said her differences with Obama are nothing compared to her differences with McCain.

I hope you are just a bunch of "undercover" Republicans.

Kim, Studio City, CA   July 8th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Unless Hillary is VP, Obama will not get my vote or my money!
By the way, BOB, much to your disappointment...this PUMA is
thirty, married with children, and an attorney. Your fantasy that all Clinton supporters are senior citizens, retired, or gay is hogwash. Plus, Obama better hope that he gets the senior citizen vote and the gay vote. Bob, get a life. Obama won, but Hillary is still the better candidate. This last week has proven just how inexperienced Obama is. Hopefully, the DNC will recognize the truth, and put Hillary on the ticket so that Obama will have help in running the country. He will need it if he wants to be a two term President.

Jeff, IA   July 8th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

Freida I mean no disrespect, but I feel sorry for you. You are so narrow minded that you are willing to put McCain into the Whitehouse simply because Sen. Clinton lost? I think that is terrible, anything would be better than four more years of Bush-like policies for this country. I sincerely hope that by November you have changed your mind.

jon   July 8th, 2008 1:30 pm ET

christian   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

And thats why ur a moron, Freida.

mitchell hussein martin   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

freida,nyc.we dont want you if you are dumb.

curtis   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Excellent decision, it will take the bright minds of of both campaigns to achieve victory for the democractic party.

Jason   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Freida- why? What is so wrong with Obama that you would choose to vote for McCain? As a woman, you should know that he has an abismal voting record on issues that relate directly to you: he opposed an equal pay bill for women, he supports overturning Roe v. Wade, he opposes comprehensive sex ed, he opposed requiring insurance coverage of prescription birth control, he opposed Title X, the nation's family planning program. Not to mention he cheated on his wife to be with Cindy McCain.

The list goes on. How can your options be two diametrically opposed individuals?

willowood   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

Please try to hold the hateful comments on this website. It's the "WE" that will build our country up again. It really won't matter who is in the White House as long as "WE" hold them accountable. It is in the long run all about what "WE" do. I would like CNN to require full names and e-mail addresses shown to be able to post comments. Anonymity allows such bizarre and off the cuff comments to be seen. Please think about what we are all saying. It doesn't help to create more division.

Gary   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

how is this news? it would be more news if she jumped party lines and went to McCain

S. Boatman Warrensburg Mo.   July 8th, 2008 1:29 pm ET

IN YOUR FACE MCCAIN!

NIck   July 8th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Your just mad that your canidate lost so you are costing the vote of the democratic ticket. Hilary and Obama are so identical. I voted for hilary but i understand that obama is still an inspirational change prophet. Get over teh whole "Obamas not reaching out to us!" WAAA, why should he pay attention to one peticular group that wont make a difference? Get over your stupid ego and just vote democrat!

Hillary Backer for McCain   July 8th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I am a hard core PUMA for life. I am rasing my kids to be proud PUMAs and we will rail raod any chance that Elitests educated people become president. We are 18 million strong and live in Ohio, south PA, and west VA and most of Apalachia which are key states.

PUMA Power!

rw md   July 8th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

I'm suprised she is still willing to help the little flip flop artist.
One reason he beat her is the Iraq thing and now he's sounding
like John McAcain twin.
I was going to back him because she's behind him but with all
these flip flops, I count at least 4 or 5 major ones, he's saying
what it takes to get elected, anything, good speeches, no
substance, I'm staying home in november.

Jimbo   July 8th, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Vicki   July 8th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

I will not vote for the Dem for the 1st time since I was 18 yrs old and was able to vote. I wish they had a lever that stated NONE OF THE ABOVE

Independent Man   July 8th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Way to go Democrats – let's all come together for the GREATER good!! Now, come on Independents and disgruntle Republicans, let's get the best hope for America in office......Barack Obama!

karen-phoenix   July 8th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

Yea Obama!!!! Yes We Can!!!!

Patrick Henry, Fort Myers   July 8th, 2008 1:27 pm ET

I still have to chuckle when I hear the Obama campaign speak of not being in the back pocket of special interests.

Then they select an "outreach liason" for labor organization, every minority, illegals, farm workers, native Americans.....each group having their own PAC's and donor bank accounts–and their eyes towards influencing the Democratic President.

I'm sure glad they don't cater to special interests.

Nina DePonca   July 8th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

At least 50% of feminists were behind Mr. Obama in the primary contests.

This is great news because it will bring most others onboard.

Clinton's supporter from San Diego   July 8th, 2008 1:25 pm ET

I don't like disloyal peolple and will never vote for Obama.

susie   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Go as an Independent, Hillary!!! You could win this election.

J.S.   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

He needs Hillary Cllinton herself–not one of her aides. Obama should admit her needs her and allow his ego and that of his campaign managers to deflate some

Jay   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

not going to work. PUMA!

never Obama

Doc   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Um let's keep the comment about Hillary out of this, that was yester-campaign! lol She is on the right track now helping the next President get elected.

I'm a little worried about all these Clinton people coming over to a campaign that was already successful. Riddle me that! Can someone.
OBAMA 08

Susan   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Hillary for Vice President so all of her supporters will vote for Obama.

Obama/Hillary 08

Nikki, Florida   July 8th, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Freida,

I'd rather that traitors like you didn't vote. Going from Hillary to McCain is the most UNAMERICAN thing you could possible do.

Ms. Sims   July 8th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

@Freida, NYC....well I guess this is the end of the road for ya...We're moving on with or without you.

All other Hillary supporters WELCOME ABOARD!!!! There's no doubt she will have a place in this administration. Thanks for voting on the issues that matter most. The issues that these candidates stood together on and the American people care about :)

Dems '08

Ron   July 8th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Well Freida, guess we know who you are voting for in this election.

The strength of ANY LEADER is based the on the people he/she surrounds themself with and the ability to LISTEN to their advice. Kudos to Senator Obama for continue to but a diverse team of talented people that will reach across boundries. Not everyone on his team came out for him nor to they agree with everything he stands for which is why the make up of his team is so important for the success of our nation.

Chi   July 8th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Freida, he doesn't need your vote. And guess what? He's still doing very well and highly favored to win.

Simply_Amazed   July 8th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Waaaaa..Freida from NYC. It sounds to me as If you don't get your way, you will take your ball and go home. Just another democrat on ignorance instead of policies....Typical!

JANE S.   July 8th, 2008 1:23 pm ET

shame on you-traitor ! jane s.

Dem   July 8th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Don't care who joins his team. Don't care about him buying a puppy for his kids. (adopt a stray from a shelter) Don't care about anymore speeches flaunting his patriotism or any other stupid topic.
Don't care about him giving his speech in a football field.
What I do want to hear is how he plans on fixing America.
So far all I have read pertaining to politics on BHO is how he is flip-flopping on everything he ran on to get the nomination.

Down with Obama   July 8th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Are we impressed.....NOT.

Isn't going to help Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't see any news yesterday about the 300 large Hillary doner/supporters that are NOT falling in line behind Obama....and millions more average Americans are NOT falling in line behind Obama!!!

here we go   July 8th, 2008 1:22 pm ET

Arrogant and hate filled remarks coming from "hillary backers" in 3.... 2....

Trottier   July 8th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

So your a Republican Freida... Enjoy your new McCain Supreme Court

joann   July 8th, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Frieda, neither will I -Obama never did anything for me. He never made me feel warm and cozy. I just think the college students started a "band wagon" effect. They want to say "hey I'm not racist – see I'm voting for a 1/2 black man". He is flip flopping all over the place now and he's not going to pull those troops out like he promised and he's not accepting public financing like he promised. He's a liar.

Denise P Quinton   July 8th, 2008 1:19 pm ET

This is one woman who will never cast a vote for OBAMA, he is not qualified to lead this nation. The DNC will be in for a huge surprise when November comes around and they cannot figure out why they lost their bid for the White House.
CLINTON 08 NO OBAMA

Freida, NYC   July 8th, 2008 1:17 pm ET

I still will NOT vote for Obama. I do not care who joins him period.

Hillary or McCain end of story.

Bob Indianapolis, IN   July 8th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Take that, all you punk PUMAs out there in Amnesia Land...

Venus   July 8th, 2008 1:16 pm ET

And... here they come!

We welcome you to the "O" Team! Thanks for joining us! We need ya!

Go Bam!

STILL FOR HILL   July 8th, 2008 1:14 pm ET

We miss you Hillary... You are the democratic nominee for 18 million of us.

Our voices will be heard in Nov. when we cast our vote for John McCain.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary... It's not about race, it's about experience.

Cynthia - Arkansas   July 8th, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Obama is putting together a powerful team! All McCain has is a bunch of Rove-style attack dogs and some pretty bad advisers.
