Clinton faced a negative and sexist Obama-campaign, but lost because enough senior Dems did their best to prevent her from winning the vote. By flying under the radar as an underdog Obama got enough delegates to warrant a gift from party leaders: Obama had the superdelegates, lobbyist money and tricks of party seniors to fix delegates where votes were missing.

Still, Clinton won the popular vote and her success in spite of it all cannot be ignored. Obama needs to be more humble. Bridging the divids starts with respecting the people and picking Clinton as VP.

Texas Trail Dog….. you are no friend of the Clintons or any Democrat
You are REPUBLICAN trying to divide and conquer—Here is a bone for your effort go home wagging your tail behind you… and take your puppies with YOU

Of course she was treated unfairly. How do you think 0bama got his presumptive Affirmative Action candi?

Do you CNN people really expect Al Gore will complain about a more qualified candidate was treated unfairly while his party selected a sure loser in November?

Gore is so full of it….Most liberal democrats are…They spew out more crap sometimes I have to tell myself Its not a horses butt I am looking at butt a Liberal. Gore, Clintons, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy…all worthless babble

Al, she lost. It's ok! You don't have to suck up to her.

WE STILL HERE FOR HILLARY PLUS 18 MILLIONS MORE AND THE REPUBLICAN THAT WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR HER. I TAKE MY VOTE SERIOUSLY. MCCAIN 08.

Yes She Did.

Hillary '12

I saw how my party had changed and how much it hates its own base and one of their best leaders.

By changing perceptions you must refer to Obama's depiction of Hillary as a " racist, post-menopausal, fat lady and old washington insider Ho who feels entitled to the throne"?…

Sorry democrats… you liberals turned out to be quite sexist, filthy, intolerant, insulting bigots…..

Now the real democrats who loved the party ideals have done gone.

The "new" democrats are intolerant, name-calling, hatful people who try to FORCE others to vote their way.

I believe in respect, freedom, justice and Equality.

I no longer believe in the democratic party.

By changing perceptions do you mean…

What was that whole Whitewater Scandal thing about again? I seem to have forgotten…someone help me out.

Yeah Gore comes out of the woodwork when drilling for oil is possibility. He starts running his mouth about Clinton like he knew what she was going through when everybody was bashing her during the primaries. He's a two-faced snake like Richardson is. They both turned their back on Clinton and now they come out and say what a great race Clinton ran.
Hillary Clinton is a fighter. She held her head up and never gave up.
Clinton won the primary and that's the fact-Jack.
That's OK though because what comes around goes around. You hear that Gore.

AMEN TEXAS TRAIL DOG

CNN had a great program a few nights ago comparing Barack and Michelle Obama with John and Cindy McCain! Wow, what a contrast of early underachievement (lets face it, CNN said that Obama was an underaccomplished student until he got into Ivy League schools, and I wonder how he got there!!!!), anger, and hate for our institutions and our country, vs. elegance, experience, patriotism and a couple that have already achieved much in their lifetime! Thanks CNN for painting a clear contrast between these two candidates and their wives!!!!

You mean as a " racist, old washington insider Ho who feels entitled to the throne"?…

Sorry democrats… you liberals turned out to be quite sexist, filthy, intolerant, insulting bigots…..

Most of the democratic party turn they back on the on Hillary and Bill Clinton when they both did so much for them alls.I can not never be a part of a party that back stab they own like that.shame on Al gore ,Bill Richardson, most of the Black Americas,and most of the Democratic party they did search a dishonest thing to the Clinton.the Clinton did so much for the blacks and all the Democratic in this county when they was president and First lady of this great county. this is how the most of the democratic party pay them back.its so ashame to be a part of the democratic party these days.

Al Gore said Obama needs women for his "fall" in 08 you got the right. Women is going to have difficulty voting for an empty suit/ sweet talker looking for power and history at any cost/ price. His campaign cares only for people with money/ highly educated like they stated many times and no brain ( they can not see the feet of the ladder that is about to break, they just care for the top….etc ). construction builder that forgot to build the base!!!! the greatest AND BESTcandidate HILLARY CLINTON, now McCain 08.

If Obama wins- it will be by default.

No one believes he is better than Hillary Clinton… and we all know how he came into his coronation as the installed nominee of the party.

Just hope that all women won't become able to twist numbers, reality or sometimes dissing MLK like HRC spent her time doing…

Shannon, if the right to chose is important to you, there's only one vote that makes sense in November. Same goes for all Hillary supporters who are still in mourning at seeing their strong candidate lose to an even stronger one — if you truly care about women's issues, you cannot possibly vote for McCain, and you cannot possibly help McCain's cause by not voting at all. This may not be the choice you wanted to make, but it's the only one that's reasonable and mature. Life's a compromise.

Hill is my gal…

The democrats will feel my pain, the pain of millions of lifelong democrats and Hill's pain… this Nov.

Hating your base, trashing your fellow democrats and attacking the best candidate out there… well you all underestimated what the reaction to that injustice and tyranny would be.

You all overestimated the loyalty of the base, once it got kicked in the butt, dismissed as irrelevant, labeled as racist and ignorant, and insulted in vile and filthy ways.

> The good old boys stood by while a great woman was labeled a
> racist, shrill and dishonest by a campaign bent on winning at any cost.

You know why this was so? Because she ran a racist, shill and dishonest campaign. Had she had a competent set of folks working for her, and had run a postivie campaign, she's be the nominee right now. Many of us had enough of her campaign's nonsense and that why we moved on. Suggest you do the same.

i wonder where all these sexist stories are coming from, Hillary ruin her own self. b4 november, we was the inevitable candidate and the media told obama to back off but lack of good judgement kill her chance after super tuesday. u guys quit winning and help obama win for ur own and ur kids sake. a word is enough 4 the wise

I wonder which party canadite would treat Hillary better after they are elected President. Hillary would LOVE to come out publically for JOHN MCCAIN, but she can't . Hillary supporters need to stand up for MCCAIN so that WE ( 18 MILLION ) of us know she will be treated right during a MCCAIN Term. OBAMA would continue to treat her, and every other woman in this country ( besides Michelle ) like crap . The more I learn about this Flip Flappin Flopper ( OBAMA ) the less I like him. MCCAIN 08

Was Hillary a victim of sexism? Yes
Was/is Barack a victim of racism? Yes

Two people who did a wonderful job of overcoming two of the worst 'isms'. Someone had to win, someone had to lose. Would Obama supporters still be crying foul if Hillary had won? Would they be any less justified in doing so? I think Hillary supporters need to consider that and then get back into the fight so the US doesn't get any more right wing judicial appointments and doesn't go further down the path Bush/Cheney have taken the country on. Please, the world can't afford it.

Gore is no friend to the Clintons. Thanks for nothing, Al. I'm ripping up your old campaign poster I had in my yard.

Hillary's campaign poster is STILL in my yard and will be there until it rots off the sticks.

You can't convince me sexism didn't play a part in Hillary's defeat. When you have people holding signs "iron my shirt" and commentators referring to Hillary as a "b–ch" and journalists giving Obama glorified coverage and everyone just turning a blind eye to the whole thing…there was indeed sexism working against Hillary.

The democratic party turn they back on the on Hillary and Bill Clinton when they both did so much for them alls.I can not never be a part of a party that back stab they own like that.shame on Al gore ,Bill Richard, most of the Black Americas,and alls the other Democratic they did search a dishonest them to the Clinton.they did so much for the blacks and all the Democratic in this county and this how we all pay them back.its so ashame to be part of the democratic party these days.

Al, you were decent and fair- you stayed out of it, remained neutral, trusted the voters and did not resort to ugliness and hatred to "dethrone?" the queen like all the despicable democratic party elites did.. Would that Hillary were throned to BE de-throned.

Well… 45 to 95 year old women are a major voting bloc.

After the disrespect shown to them and to Hillary…

After the filthy sexual comments made about women, white women, Old women and Hillary herself….

What do YOU think?

I think that the democrats can no longe COUNT on those women voting democratic. Probably for decades to come.

Think twice newbies before stealing an election and spewing foul, filthy, vulgar insults at your mothers, aunts, sisters and grandmothers.

In a reactionary effort to distance themselves from what they sat around and let George Bush do over the last eight years, the Democratic party, both it's leaders and a razor-thin majority of its registered voters, turned its back on a candidate who has worked tirelessly for them for many, many, years. Al Gore, despite his valiant work in other areas, is among them, but at least, with his after-the-fact kind words about Hillary Clinton, he shows evidence of a guilty conscience. I hope Jack McCain gets elected. Barack Obama seems a dangerous unknown.

Well… 45 to 95 year old women are a major voting bloc.

Why, didn't Obama take his wife with him? After all she seems to be the one who wears the pants in that family. As far as people pandering to us Clinton supporters, there is no amount a butt-kissing that Obama or his supporters can do to make this right. Sen. Clinton is the only one who should be POTUS, even if Obama would win it will be the same old same old. Because he doesn't have a clue on what should be done about the WAR, ENERGY or anything else,therefore all THE GOOD-OLE BOYS, in THE SENATE OR THE CONGRESS, will keep on with the same old politics,because they will have a leader who doesn't know how TO LEAD. McCAIN\CLINTON 08

I love people who feel the need to WRITE LIKE THIS. Like I will pay more attention to them?

It has been a historical election. I can recognize all the candidates role they have played. Why can't others? This is an example of what I see as America's problem. No compromise.

he's right.she has brought notice to the already known fact that a woman scorned….well,you know what i mean.some of the female hillary supporters on here are kinda scary,and sound a little off-balance,to put it nicely.not all,just some.some take into consideration that we cannot afford a republican government right now.

Hillary represented the best of old Democrats policies. It is time to write a new chapter of the 21st century so one day a new young still unknown woman will determine Americas way to the future.

Please Al, please consider coming back to government in SOME capacity! You are needed! To help undo what this redneck moron has done! VP again! Cabinet post on Energy or the Environment! Give Obama the help he will need!

nina no she will not be the president so get over yourself

Just go sent to moderation. Can not say anything negative about the annointed one. Sham on CNN

Hillary was shunned for running in the first place. I've never seen such vitrol childish comments coming out of the HALF-black candidate's supporters. This vitrol became the media's campaign to win as well. Obama is a chameleon who's been running for POTUS on little or no experience and trying to please everyone in the name of political expediency. He's had to explain and defend too much already. Just wait till after the conventions, November will be a shock to his drooling liberal fans and I can't wait. We all aren't brainwashed.

McCain '08

I once tried to reply on this subject. There WAS sexism expressed, esp. by the media, but I think it actually might have helped Hillary in the sense that it tended to galvanize her supporters. There was racism in some parts of the electorate and this tended to galvanize Obama's supporters. Neither Bill nor Hillary were at all racist, but maybe they could have phrased things a little differently. For instance it would have been better to compare John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson on their accomplishments, rather than Martin Luther King and Johnson. Kennedy could give a good speech, but he was far less able than Johnson was in getting things through congress. Hillary did not lose by much, but I would attribute her not doing better to underestimating Obama and not having a plan post super Tuesday. Also, I think she lost the popular vote by a hair, but mainly because very few people actually voted in Puerto Rico. If twice as many people voted there, she would have won the popular vote, that is counting ALL the votes, Florida, Michigan with the uncommitted going for Obama and also the caucus states, which favored Obama. Territories SHOULD have been counted in the popular vote. For instance Puerto Rico represents the wishes of millions of Hispanics living in this country.

1/2 of the voters in the democratic primary voted for Hillary as nominee of the party. How can Obama, or Gore, or anyone else, ignore that? There is only one logical choice for vice-president, and that is Hillary Clinton. It will be the best way to unite the democratic party, and she is most qualified to replace him if , God forbid, something happens to him. Right now alot of democrats are feeeling disaffected. I think these threats to vote for McCain will go away, but I think alot of democrats just won't vote if Hilary is not on the ticket.. Senator Obama, I am counting on you to make the right choice: Obama/Clinton '08!

The advances women have made are only lasting because of the obstacles. If it was so easy the change would be minor. Hillary's campaign won in so many others ways that are greater than the nomination. She earned every vote and over came barriers through challenge, perseverance, and focus. The anger Hillary's supporters feel is valid but don't let the truth as you see it stop the momentum. Anger and ultimatums and bitter words don't keep the ball rolling. The Democrat party needs to unite and keep McCain out of the oval office. Hillary Clinton understands that. Do you think she is so angry and bitter that she will vote for McCain? NO WAY! McCain is the antithesis of everything she stands for. Come on people.

I lost all respect for Al Gore. He should have stood up for Hillary and spoke out during the primary season.

Well the fact of the matter is that she didn't win in the primary and this notion that she should be president regardless of how the primary results is pathetic. i know that people have a right to support whom ever they want, but the primary is OVER! AND YES THERES ENOUGH PEOPLE VOTING IN THIS GENERAL ELECTION TO HELP THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WIN!!!!! O B A M A !!!!!!!!!

@Texas Trail Dog….why is it so hard for you not to type in all caps on every single post. Stop yelling

I will never vote Obama ! I will be writing in Hillary or voting McCain in November.And like nina said July 20th, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Yes, and she should be the president.

Man, you'v e still got some bitter Hilary people out there. I'm both a Hilary and Barrack admirer. I don't believe that any rational , un-biased person who reviewed all of the venom from the two camps during that fiercely contested race, would conclude that there was more venom directed at Hilary than at Barrack. Certainly, none of the HRC people can say that Barrack himself made unfair or hate-filled criticism of her. Of course both camps allowed their surrogates to cross the lines of decency. You haters can carry on all you want. i understand what happened during the campaign, (it was sad) and inspite of things, I will always have great admiration for the Clintons and for Barrack.

I know she changed my perceptions. Before this gong show I had supported a large number of women for governmental office. I will certainly think much harder on the peripheral issues of doing so in the future. The support, by both men and women, for Clinton was and is disgracful. To be fair however, the digrace belongs mostly to women "supporters" who look past the obvious inadequacies of their candidate simply due to her gender!

Which perception was that?

The one of women willing to do you know what with men in power so they can get ahead?

Or the one where a wife catches his husband cheating but stays with him so that she can continue sharing in the power and privledge.

Texas Trail Dog——–( AL GORE YOU ARE NO FRIEND OF THE CLINTONS. YOU SEPARATED YOURSELF FROM THEM EARLY AFTER BILL'S PRESIDENCY. YOU DID NOT ENDORSE HILLARY LIKE YOU SHOULD HAVE). I Dare you!!! and the other IDIOTS…..YOU
don't have the right to tell AL Gore or anyone who they should or shouldn't support or endorse………Only someone that own Hillary an
explanation is BILL for the encounter with MONICA ..THE primary was nasty on both sides Move ON ….Trail Dog you are a Republican trying to divide the DEMS …..Take this BONE for TRYING!!!!
Shannon you can move on too!!!!!

Former Vice-President Gore is an astute statesman and spokesman and he speaks with honesty. My only wish is that it was he, who won the Presidency in 2000 and not President Bush. That is life, though, and we move on and hope that more voters feel as I do, after these 8 years of incompetence and negligence. The Republicans should go back to their constituents and listen to them, this time and act, accordingly. If they did, the occupation of Iraq would be over, the mismanaged job in New Orleans, which Homeland Security is responsible for, would be corrected and the mystery of the " tainted tomatoes ", would be solved. That would mean, of course, that their constituents were no longer voting Republican, but are now voting Democrat. Now, that would make sense, given the Republicans dismal record for the last 8 years !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Gore who?

this guy is a bum

Hillary set the women's movement back about 20 years with her mishandled campaign and I resent her for it.

She had the national stage, and she could have advocated for women in a way that would have had real meaning. She could have taken the sexism and turned it back on the media, showing how a strong woman can lead, do things differently.

But what did she do?

She played the good ol boy game just like the good ol boys. Lies. Testicular fortitude. Rocky. Pandering to the neocons.

The only time women's issues came to the forefront was after the fact, when the whining about sexism began. Too little, too late. And if she doesn't get it together and 'work her heart out' for the presumptive nominee, her political future is ruined as well. Pathetic.

I'M SICK OF THE CLINTON! THEY'VE TOOK AND USED THE BLACK FOR GRANTED AND NOW THERE UPSET BECAUSE A BI-RACIAL MAN WAS ABLE TO STEAL THE THE THUNDER AWAY FROM THEM. CLINTON SHOULD BE A SHAME FOR TRYING DESTROY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Obama is not new — it's JFK all over again — with the same result — the "old guys" had to go clean up afterwards. Trouble is you 30/40-somethings weren't there and don't remember. So here we go again . . .

• Kennedy's "Camelot" was all glitter and no substance. JFK “inspired” a generation of Americans and raised them to a pitch of high excitement, but his promises were never followed by performance.

• With a gap between rhetoric and reality, the Kennedy years produced no significant progress for the American people and caused frustration and bitterness that came back to plague the nation in the late '60s.

• In foreign policy, Kennedy lurched unsteadily from one crisis to another — it was his ineptitude in the handling of the (failed) Bay of Pigs invasion that encouraged the Soviets to test his resolution by moving missiles to Cuba.

• Kennedy's handling of Congress was dismal and inept, and none of the major domestic proposals of his much-heralded "New Frontier" were enacted into law.

Not that anyone is pandering towards the 'disenchanted' Hillary supporters, Fran - but if anyone did it is because Obama is going to need ALL the help he can get come November. The economy is in the crapper, unemployment is up, there's an unpopular war; all on top of the failures of the current administration and Obama is currently up by 6 points. Yes, only SIX!

Here is just another reason that Hillary Clinton should have been the nominee instead of the "Pied Piper" Obama.

If Obama wants to get into the White House he will have to put Hillary Clinton on the ticket, or I for one will end up voting for McCain. I would rather have a President that has experience and one that is more concerned with what the Americans want than what other countries want.

What a mess this country is in, when someone can buy their way
into the White House. Tell me how a cocky, elitest, anti american
with terriorist friends can run for President and be treated like
a rock star. This man walks and talks like a cocky man who thinks
he just fell from the heavens.

A democrat for 20 years, this year will stay home.

Come a long way? You have no clue, Mr. Gore. Only to be stopped by the DNC, but you know what that's like, don't you? Kind of like having your opponent SELECTED not ELECTED.

There is nothing that will make me vote for Obama. What a sleaze bag- now he's groveling all over Europe trying to make people like him. What an empty suit.

I'm not suckered by the "oh Roe v. Wade is at risk so you have to vote for obama" crap either. The DNC should have thought of that before they mugged Clinton and all of her 18 million voters.

As to contributing to the Hillary debt, Hillary didn't appeal to the chardonnay crowd with all that disposable income to pander to America's newest pretty boy du jour. Hope they've got enough left to pay the taxes he's going to impose…Hillary voters are regular people, NOT Obama elites. We can't all afford to pitch in. You Obama fools would have her driving around the mountains of Pennsylvania trying to squeeze money out of unemployment workers.

In response to a few of the other comments here, I do not believe this article to be Clinton bashing at all. In fact, it is a relief to read about other political leaders admiting that Hilary has, indeed, changed the course of history for women.

Al Gore is one of my favorite polititions, and this only strengthened my respect for the man.

Al Gore where were you when Richardson gave Obama his support even though Clinton won in New Mexico. Where were you when Pelosi kept nagging about getting the delegates to select a candidate. Where were you when Obama and his campaign tried to make the Clintons into racists. You stood by and kept silent, like a man watching a lynching. You are as much responsible for the trouble with the DNC as are Howard Dean and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and Donna Brazile. You can't wash your hands of your action the way Pilate washed his hands of the decision that was made 2000 years ago.

Clinton who?

This Clinton supporter will be voting for McCain… Nothing Obama or his cult can do to stop the PUMA movement… yes we can, yes we can stop Obama

I agree with Shannon.

HILLARY..NOT!!!!! NO V.P., NO PRESIDENT
SHE'S A DIRTY POLITICIAN, SHE AND HER KARL ROVE LIKE POLITICS SHOULD GO BACK UNDER HER ROCK!

clinton helped change the perception of women alright, negatively! she showed that she can be just as dirty a politician as any man, can swig booze with the best of them and is just as good at pandering to anyone she thinks might benefit her at the moment!

The hatred that some Hillary supporters spew towards anyone that didn't support Hillary must be a great burden on them. If they made comments that had insightful observations on policy, on women's rights, on any of the issues, one might be able to enter into a dialogue with them. Please remember that this is politics and both sides in the primary played whatever cards they felt they had and neither side was above the political mudslinging. That someone dare not agree with you or endorse your candidate does not make that person evil, malicious, sexist, racist, etc.

i am wondering why some of these clinton supporters just cant move on. she lost it,deal with it
you can write her name in or vote for maccai,what ever you want
just dont blame her loss on anyone
she did it all by herself.
if you all voted for her and donated money,she probably wouldnt have lost.
so please do what ever you want,we really dont care
just stop whining already!!!

Tail Gunner Joe and Tricky Dick changed our perceptions of the party of Abraham Lincoln too.

Obama reminds me of Bush much more than McCain does.

I did not vote for the arrogant, self-serving, cocky, swaggering self-impressed know-nothing, do-nothing Bushe- either time.

I will not vote for Obama either.

Defecting from a lifelong history of voting for the democratic nominee.

That is how good Obama was at uniting the party and the nation- and how false his message of change and hope has been.

Al Gore and both Clinton's will be a part of the new world order… May not be VP or either, but there are a lot of spots to fill out, esp after Bush

hope some of those puma people start putting money into their speeches of hate..

Hillary if you're out there, I want you know know that your supporters are still behind you 100%. We still have a hurdle to knock Obama out of race so you can become our next President. Obama is a nice guy and all but I hope he realizes he's not experienced enough and hand you the title. His supporters are little kids still learning their ABC's and 123's. They need to listen to their elders anyway.

Hillary don't give up, tell Bill I said hello!!

Hillary 08

The people voted for the VERY best- Hillary R. Clinton.

The Sheople baaahed for Obama.

The DNC capitulated and installed the demogogue.

NOW WAIT AND SEE THE REPURCUSSIONS FOR THE NOMINEE, THE PARTY AND THE NATION.

Texas Trail Dog - Yeah, and Bill couldn't keep his composure together in the highest office in the land. That cuts both ways. Its politics, the smart move was to distance himself from Bill as he was being perceived by key voting blocs in a negative light.

But the comments here all have something in common, from the pro-Clinton supporters. This feeling of inevitability. Gore didn't do what he was supposed to do. [Hillary] should be president. [Others] didn't do their job. In politics, the only constant is that nothing is inevitable. The hissy-fits being thrown over this, to me, represent two possible paths. One, you guys and gals are just baiting people online for your own kicks. The second is that you truly think that a return to inevitable rulership is in the best interests of the country, and you will vote, against your better interests, to preserve that idea. The only idiots here are the ones that wish to return themselves to the shackles of aristocracy and preservation of consistent familial rule.

Very well said, Solomon.

I am a woman. I would never vote for hillary. ANY other woman would have been a better choice.

I am amazed at the pure hatred between folks on here. I mean, if you look at Clinton's policy ideas and Obama's they are the exact same. So how does a lifelong Democrat change parties, because their person doesn't get past the primaries? Come on! Grow Up. You are acting like a spoiled Child. It has been two months. Obama is representing the democrats. Hillary Lost. For whatever reason she lost. You can not cry over spilt milk. Can you really say that you would rather have McCain and four more years of Bush and worse?? Give me a break!

And for the lady' from Texas….You my friend are a joke. You can't say that race has nothing to do with it. Give me a break. Your very comment reveals that it is all about race with you. I have lived in Texas most of my life, and I have seen your kind come and go. You probably have "black friends"…so you cant be a racist. Come on Admit it! He is a serete Terrorist and a gangster….CODE WORDS…sweetheart…Those are code words….LOL

I think Hillary inforced the stereotype of white women,when things do not go your way,cry sexism and she was treated unfair.Obama was treated just as bad or worse by her,the media,and the republican party and did not whine once.He was accused of every thing negative,eventhough none of it was true.I think that it is wrong to blame him for what Hillary clearly done to her self.

Wev'e come a long way Baby…however, we still have a way to go !
Someday, ALL Americans will REALLY be treated equally no matter what race, sex, or religion. The BEST person (Obama) won this primary and he will win the Presidency !

Hillary Lost Because Of Hillary! We Will Have A Woman President Someday But It Wont Be Hillary! She Will Never Be President!

texas trail dog, you are a moron. You do realize that Obama is WINNING in every poll and has much, much more money and enthusiasm than McSame. It's quite sad you hillary supporters cant get over it. She lost. She lost in the delegate count, she lost in the superdelegate count, and she lost the popular vote. get over it. electing another bush just because you're bitter reeks of stupidity. oh and that terrorist supporter comment is just another example of your confusion, but hey, you are from texas.

yes,she just showed that women might not do so well in positions of authority
she has just set back all american women 50 years backward in politics with her divisive campaign and poor character.
she single handedly divided the democratic party and america!
yes,indeed she has changed the perception of women.

and i think she claims to have 18 million supporters,if all those her 18million supporters donated a dollar im surre a large part of her bill would be paid.
so do it already

DEMOCRATS - come on! Elect Barack. Don't expect Hillary as VP. She should be AG or Secretary of State - where her worth and value - and the distraction of Wild Bill - can be fully showcased.

Hillary did pave a stronger path for women. And yes, sexism was apparent in the media coverage as was racism. But, that isnt what lost Hillary the nomination. Hillary and they way she ran her campaign did. Those that hold Sen Obama responsible for Hillarys loss are just selfish and self centered. Because not backing Sen Obama and voting for John McCain INSULTS everything Hillary Clinton stood for.

Hillary lost fair and square because she mismanaged her campaign……………..saying that she lost based on sexism, is like saying she can't compete fairly in a male dominated world; and I think Hillary should be insulted by that notion considering all that she has accomplished in life as a senator and a former first lady.

racism and sexism were issues in the primary, but they were not the reasons Obama won or why Hillary lost.

Obama won because he was a better candidate; Hillary lost because she couldn't manage her campaign and she underestimated Obama and his caucus states win.

now give a black man his due respect - Obama '08/12′

"DONT HATE THE PLAYA, HATE THE GAME"

DEMOCRATS UNITE

yeah she changed mine alright.
dont cross a woman who is set on something.
she will get you at any cost!

It's a shame Hillary didn't run in '04. I think she could have won with a landslide victory. Just think - we would not have had Cheney, Bush, Rove the last four years.

Let's not make the same mistake again, people. Twice voting for Bush were two of the biggest errors this country has witnessed. We do not need McCain continuing what the couboy mentally has done to this world.

Obama '08 - and put Hillary in charge of Health Care, with enough POWER to get it done this time. Not just 1st lady wants.

Obama '08

Gore is a good man, its no wonder he couldn't bring himself to stay in politics.

Its funny how Barack survived through historic and established racism in this country, which is still prevalent in this country, and somehow, Hillary supporters cannot acknowledge that.

Do you really think Hillary was the only candidate who had to deal with prejudice in this election. Just because she didnt win doesnt mean it was due to sexism.

If I remember correctly, white women received rights, including the right to vote, before any single black person (man or woman). Yet for some, reason people think the entire country is against Hillary, and therefore against women.

Both campaigns attacked each other, stop acting like Hillary didnt dirty her hands in this campaign.

CNN please post this comment

I have become painfully aware that our party is totally disfunctional and will not be united. I am a Obama supporter, and I would have happily supported and voted for Hillary if she were named the presumpive nominee. She was not. We must move on. I feel like I am bashed over the head every day with having to make her supporters feel 'good' about supporting Obama. When you declare for your party you should stay with your party. Absolutely none of McCain's positions line up with Clintons or Obamas. Stop whining about leaving the party or voting republican or green. Go Nike and just DO IT! Or as my granny would say, BABY BYE!!!!!!!!

I have never seen someone get skewered as much as Hillary Clinton did, I am an indepedent that has voted Democrat in the last 2 presidential elections, I will never vote for Obama, in part b/c he has no firm stanceson anything and he is constantly shifting his opinions, and I am furious with his arrogant supporters and this media that was so ruthless to her, for the record, I hate cnn. You can change the coverage and make him out to be the next messiah, but you will not change my vote.

Shannon, the primaries are over, let move on. Hillary did a good job by showing the world that a woman came become a president of the USA; she did a very bad as far as her campaign strategy goes. She and her supporter have no reason whatsoever to blame Obama for that.

That women can be ignored by the MSM just like McCain.

Media for Obama '08

No Hillary… No win in NOV.

Destroying the best candidate just to advance the least qualified one CAN NOT become the future strategy of democratic party primaries.

Fixing elections will not stand. Hateful, divisive, nasty Thug tactics a la Chicago style is not a democratic concept.

This gutting of the democratic process can not become the norm.

No to Obama, no to the DNC… until the principles and ideals of the party once again return.

Of course, she was treated unfairly by the media and her party. I'm not disenchanted, I'm dissappointed with some of Obama's supporters who believe they are the smartest people in this world and his party.

I remember when the president announced the war in Iraq. I never understood his reasons and didn't support him. Many of us thought the same. But yet, we couldn't do anything about it. The same thing happened to Senator Obama. He couldn't do anything about it.

Let's be honest and realistic.

Thanks.

Its funny how Barack survived through historic and established racism in this country, which is still prevalent in this country, and somehow, Hillary supporters cannot acknowledge that.

Do you really think Hillary was the only candidate who had to deal with prejudice in this election. Just because she didnt win doesnt mean it was due to sexism.

If I remember correctly, white women received rights, including the right to vote, before any single black person (man or woman). Yet for some, reason people think the entire country is against Hillary, and therefore against women.

Both campaigns attacked each other, stop acting like Hillary didnt dirty her hands in this campaign.

Come on folks…this is a huge deal. Lets call it for what it is but I rather be a victim of sexism than racism. Someone gets hate mails, death threats, discriminated and criticized just because their skin color; the are not whining nor complaining even when every failed to recognize how "EASY" it's been for them. And the other was deprived of equal pay, recognition and respect as a result of their gender . I think we have to be reasonable here…Its very unfortunate racism and sexism and other kinds of discrimination exists in this day and age. I believe all forms of discrimination is unjust and we all should be against it. BUT RACIAL DISCRIMINATION HAS A MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT-NEGATIVE AND SEVERE IMPACT IN THE LIVES OF THOSE INVOLVED. A comparison of racism any other form of discrimination does not even make any sense.

I was just thinking.
AUSTIN.

Ditto to Texas Trail Dog and Rachel (why are there not more positive articles about Hillary and what she is accomplishing? Millions of people voted for her.) Like many, I am also angry at Richardson and Edwards, etc. They gleefully blocked Hillary. Gore and Pelosi did nothing to defend or encourage her. Gore, at least, kept silent until she dropped out. I cannot believe how politicians, media personnel, etc. were so opposed to her running and so supportive of Obama. He has not accomplished anything politically. People have lost their minds. Take a look back through history at similar candidates. I don't dare give examples because of the resulting firestorm.

Look, it is what it is. Hillary should do a great job as a Senator for New York. What is the big deal ?

In my view, Jesse Jackson has seriously compromised himself as a Reverand / Activist with his off color remarks. I really think he should retire now at 76 years old.

Yes, and Gore, Brazile, Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, Kennedy and Obama are all guilty of the same old 'good old boys' network who screwed Clinton. Clinton won the popular vote. Obama lost 11 of the last 15 primaries. The Super Delegates should be ashamed of themselves. The Dems will loose in November because the one thing the DNC did not count on is that people in the United States are fair minded and do not like seeing anyone get messed over like Clinton did. Honesty, fairness, honor - all marks of a good American and all marks that Gore, Brazile, Dean Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, Kennedy, Obama and the DNC do not have.

PUMA! Vote for America…Vote for Honor…Vote for McCain!

Senator Clinton accomplished many positive things in the Primary. She also, unfortunately did alot of harm to the Democratic Party. pumA's are the number one example. They called us cultists and kool-aide drinkers all thru the Primary season- and look how it's turned out! Cultists indeed.

AL GORE I hope you read this one, but I wanted to hear all this about how amazing HILLARY CLINTON is during the primaries. more support for her, but to bad did not happen on time this comment could help, now is to late. For Nancy Pelocy she lost my respect I don't even care for her she loves to cheat and twist everything for money and power just like Obama. Hillary for women and all. Now, McCain 08.

In the past Al Gore/ Hillary Clinton/ now McCain 08!!!!!

Out of two POOR excuses for candidates from the two main parties… I will vote for the one that DID NOT STEAL THE NOMINATION from HRC.

After, all HRC was the winner and remains the ONLY viable candidate capable of leading.

The one who played dirty to eliminate her… is the one I will NEVER vote for.

I am not a Hillary fan, but I do think she taught the younger generation of women politicians some real lessons. 1) Big girls shouldn't cry on camera, and then play the victim when asked tough questions. 2) Muzzle your husband, especially if his ego is as large as Bill's. He will want you to lose, so he can remain top dog. 3) Do the math — don't let your campaign over-focus on the general election states causing you to run from behind.

And she shoed us how racist and bigoted and sexist democrats really are.

And how willing they are to trash, bash and destroy one of their own.

Obama fast tracked himself to glory- not on merit or accomplishment- but by divisiveness and by stoking the fires of reverse-racism and sexism.

He intentionally played dirty and risked the destruction of the democratic party, for PERSONAL gain, self-serving glorification and to prematurely grab the white house.

WE will never forget or forgive the hypocrisy of the DNC and the so-called liberal democrats for the vitriol they showed US, and our candidate.

And it changed our perception of our democratic party.

Who'd have thought it would be so vile, filthy, ugly and brutal to one of its own?

Who have expected the hate and the gender bias and the nasty insults hurled against a great leader and those who love her/

Who could guess the uniter, Obama would go down in history as the cheater who destroyed his own party in his mad grab for power.

WHO'D have thought it.

If the MSM was "unfair" to Hillary, maybe its because she is a Clinton and not because she is a woman? Maybe she was labeled as shrill because she was, in fact, shrill? You cannot tell me that her forced laughter was not "high-pitched and piercing in sound quality" as the word is defined. FYI - I'm a Clinton fan and would have voted for her had she been the Democratic nominee.

Secondly, how can anyone be undecided at this point? All of the facts are out there. There will be the occasional position shift, a la McCain and offshore drilling, but everything has already been said. We know where these guys stand. If you don't, turn off Fox News or CNN and visit the candidates web pages.

Gore is a hypocrite - plain and simple. I saw a little clip of his speech telling America that we need to invest billions of dollars over the next 10 years to become energy independent. Where were you when you VP. You made millions of this climate change initiative and yet your home and your lifestyle was less than eco friendly. You and the rest of the Dems did nothing to show Hillary more respect. Go back Obama, his ego is bigger than yours and Congress. I would rather have 4 years of McCain than 4 or 8 years of empty suit.

3 candidates- Hill shone… the other two are no option at all.

So count on us picking the lesser evil, McCain.

He did not sabotage and swiftboat Hillary- her OWN party carved her up and ate her alive.

Hate and vulgarity and filth and dirty politics will not speak to true lifelong democrats who stand on the priciples of fair campaigns and justice and equality.

Is this the most political newsworthy thing that Gore said on MEET THE PRESS?!?!

Answer…NO!

You don`t think Obama would pick Hillary since the DNC wouldn`t approve do you? Since Hillary got more popular, and he needs those votes to get elected-and the DNC knows that, do they want to win in November?

The hope of Universal health care died when you killed Hillary as our nominee- against the will of the democratic base.

I will personally vote AGAINST any lesser plan (like Obama's)- until the true Universal plan advanced by Hillary can be enacted.

No point getting a BAD plan rooted. Obama's plan is neither Universal nor equitable.

IF adults will voluntarily enroll into affordable health care- then WHY mandate if for children? Certainly parents would be responsible. If not, why pretend other so-called-responsible- adults will?

Coverage for ALL Americans or none.

Price to pay for sabotaging the better candidate and forcing the least worthy candidate as our party nominee.

ROLL CALL anyone!?

There's what I call "little politics" and then there is 'big politics.' The Primaries were really about fine tuning positions for the Dems. I supported Hill now I support Obama.

With McCain, there shouldn't even be a question. He may be old, but he's always been immature. Truly a hair-trigger, 'shoot from the hip' personality, and stiff as a board. Obama, on the other hand, mature beyond his years and bigger than his shrillest supporters, is wise to be reaching out.

If Obama had a really great mind, he would have waited this one out, and tried to be her vp, but he was just too eager to "play" President

Lady liberty should be our next president.

Don't think for a minute that all of those disenfranchised by the mockery of this rigged-for-Obama- because he is young and black and the left wing demands it tactics of stealing an election will SOON forget it.

We watched the hope of a lifetime be gutted and trashed and sabotaged by Obama with the help of the DNC and the media.

CORRECTION I AM VERY PROUD OF THE CLINTONS. PARTICULARLY BILL CLINTON. AND IN RESPECT TO THE RACE CARD. I AM TIRE OF READING/ LISTENING TO THE COMPLAINS. THIS COUNTRY HAS A LOT OF RACES, BUT THIS ONE COMPLAINS TO MUCH JUST LOOK YOUR HISTORY AND THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD THEM WAS THEIR OWN PEOPLE. STOP THE BS AND DISTRACTIONS. WE WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. WE WANT PROBLEMS/ ISSUES TO BE FIX FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE. AL GORE WE KNOW THAT THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO DO THAT WAS HILLARY THIS OTHER ONE IS GOING TO TRY, BUT DO NOTHING. HE NEEDS THE EXPERIENCE. SWEET TALKING WON'T FIX THE PROBLEMS.
IN THE PAST WE WERE RIGHT AL GORE, NOW HILLARY (last option MCCAIN 08).

I am sick and tired of the media talking down the Clintons, and a protrayal of something evil about them. All the folks who benefited from the Clinton administration now politically positioning themselves along side Obama now that they see an opportunity is sickening. Most of all Bill Richardon..the big fat dodo bird…hell with him…I am a democrat and i am voting for McCain..The democratic nominating process left a bad taste in my mouth….

Gore had the decency to stay out of it and remain neutral. Unlike Oprah, Caroline, Richardson and many others, he allowed voters to decide. He did not try to force their vote.

Other high ranking democrats jumped on the celebrity bandwagon, media myth of Obama and decided that it was in their BEST interest to bash Hillary.

Guess what? That backfired.

Hillary supporters outnumber Obama supporters… and even if 25% will now NOT vote along party lines- that makes a difference.

why do you delete comments critical of your website that are not derogetory or imflammatory cnn?????

your censors clearly do not like to post comments about how "biased" your reporters were towards hillary clinton!!!

wolf blitzer, campbell brown & anderson cooper!!!

the "race baiting" she engaged in!!!(white hard working americans who support me)(the bin laden tv ads touting her "experience" over obama) WAS THAT A DEMOCRAT DOING THAT TO ANOTHER DEMOCRAT IN A PRIMARY???

yes it was…. she could not even manage her own money, but wants to manage the federal govertments revenues!!!

wake up cnn & hillary supporters!!!

we will have a woman POTUS, it just wont be her!!!

OBAMA/RICHARDSON 08/12
REAL CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!!!

The more you bash Hillary, the more it damages Obama.

It is bad enough the party sacrificed her- the best candidate of a lifetime- just to install the black man.

That appeased the African Americans (12% of America) and the new democrats who never before CARED enough to vote, and the left wing.

But that swiftboating of a fellow democrat and the vitriol against all her millions of supporters did much damage: it divided the party, caused millions of lifelong democrats to defect from the party, has alienated older women who always vote democratic and left a STAIN ON OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS.

God willing, justice will be served come Nov.

I have another question. An honest open one.
What was sooo wrong about former Prez Clinton's comparison of Jackson's victory in SC to Obama's recent victory in the same state?

An insinuation about SC's demographics in its Democratic constituency?
Ok, maybe it was.
But what is wrong with that? Why is it something to be sensitive about or offended by?
I dont really understand why it is wrong to vote for someone because of their race; especially in our racially-polarized society.
I mean, if abortion proponents/opponents can vote on one issue because a candidate meets a need that is critical to them, I dont understand why any African-American needs to explain or feel sensitive to a suggestion that they may have voted for a candidate simply because of his/her race.
I would think it a valid argument that a black candidate may have a better understanding to the needs of black Americans than a white candidate, and it makes sense to me that that would be a voting consideration whether or not he/she was the first viable candidate in history.
And I dont think any white person understands that better than the Clintons.

So, I have to admit the charges that the Clintons ran a Racist campaign is far more disturbing to me than the petty sexist and totally moronic comments thrown at Hillary.
Come on, we are talking about a President who moved his office from the White House to Harlem long before Obama announced his intentions to run for President.

I would like to know…thx.

Rachel…you over sensitive twit…what in this article is possibly "Hillary/Bill bashing?"

The DNC and the democratic party will feel the fall out of the terrble way they treated HRC - and allowed her to be treated by Obama, his campaign, black pundits, black members of congress, the media and all the new democrats who love Obama and hate anyone who disagrees.

The cost to our Nation and to democracy for this treachery and for the unfairness of a primary where the Least qualified was installed over the BETTER qualified opponent will be felt for decades.

Principles, freedom, justice and equality DO matter to the millions of TRUE democrats. The Newbies seem not to care for the democratic process too much. They prefer to FORCE people to do things their way, by crying racist, anc calling those who disagree ignorant morons

HILLARY CLINTON THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT 08 FOR EVERYTHING SHE HAD DONE FOR THE COUNTRY. SOME PEOPLE IS FORGETFUL ABOUT THE LEGACY OF THE CLINTONS, TO REFRESH THE MEMORY JUST GO BACK TO THE 1990S AND YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE 18 MILLIONS PEOPLE IS NOT WRONG. THE PEOPLE VOTE IN THE PAST FOR AL GORE AND NOW DID IT FOR HILLARY, BUT THE HAND CHOSEN ( BUSH AND OBAMA ) ARE A JOKE. READ THE POLICIES OF THE CANDIDATES AND OBAMA REFINING HIS ALL THE TIME (MEANING CHANGING THEM ALL THE TIME). HE NEEDS SOMEBODY TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO JUST WATCH DEBATES AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON AND IS VERY SIMPLE NO SEE THAT. HE EVEN THINK USA HAS 57-58 STATES IS THIS GUY THE RIGHT FOR PRESIDENT NOOO. (((OBAMA= BUSH))) HE IS GOING TO INCREASE OUR TAXES/DOESN'T SUPPORT ELECTRIC CARS…ETC. WHAT IS HE SUPPORTING ??? WHAT POLICIES IS HE GOING TO CHANGE AGAIN AND AGAIN??? THIS DOESN'T HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE STOP THE BS. THIS COUNTRY HAS A LOT OF RACES AND THE ONLY ONE THAT COMPLAINS TO MUCH IS THIS PARTICULAR ONE.(LOOK YOUR HISTORY AND THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD THEY WAS THEIR OWN PEOPLE. WE ARE TIRED OF HEARING THIS. THAT IS WHY AL GORE IN THE PAST, HILLARY AND NOW MCCAIN 08. I AM VERY PROUD OF THE BILL CLINTON INCLUDING HILLARY AND DAUGHTER.

Absolutely Al, and that's why she should be VP.

I voted for the very best candidate- HRC

No race baiting, no gender bias, no games, no name-calling, no vulgarity and no hate… just voted on the facts, issues, experience, accomplishments and qualifications.

I have a clear conscience- I'm liberal but not part of the new bigoted and racist and sexist left wing.

I do not endorse nor will I vote for the hateful divisive campaign of destroy a fellow democrat that Obama and his following waged. I will never allow the democratic electoral process to be hijacked by force and threats.

NOW COME WHAT MAY TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

it seems that it is the very people who Mrs. Clinton fought for are the ones who will and are undermining all of her hard work and efforts. The PUMA PAC, the hurt supports, the women who are angry at the outcome of the election are killing Mrs. Clinton's chance to ever run again….and that is so sad. this was the first time in my life i have been exited about the primaries, it was goodvgood it was a hard choice but Mr. Obama won. not one Clinton supporter can say Obama, himself was ever rude or disrespectful to Mrs. Clinton. as i recall Obama supporters would cheer Mrs. Clinton, it was her supporters that showed great dis respect at Mrs. Clinton's speech when they booed Obama….such disrespect. now they what to hold America hostage? the pity of this is, if McCain wins in November we may not have a 2012. Mrs. Clinton has done great things in the race and for the country, shame her supporters are killing what she has done.

Yes it did!, now I have a worst perception of woman - She doesnt know how to dress, she lies, she will tell you want to want to hear, and she is so dishonest. How many months she has been working to run for president what about the senator job who paid for that, like all congress a bunch a crooks and dishonest. but! we don't care we are ready to elect one of them for president one from the same gang.

Its so sad to see how americans always try to blame others for their stupidity. is obama the reason hillary lost - NO. she lost because she was meant to lose. of course there was racism in the media too.
hillary supporters should stop blaming obama for her loss. it goes to solidify the fact the she thinks its her RIGHT to be the nominee.
one word to hillary supporters: IF YOU DONT LIKE OBAMA, THEN DONT VOTE FOR HIM. YOU'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. I HOPE MCCAIN SENDS YOU AND YOUR KIDS OFF TO IRAN? MIDEAST WHEN THE PLANNED MILITARY DRAFT IS REINTRODUCED IN 3YRS (IF MCBUSH WINS).
Just my thought guys (i am white, but not american).

Thank you Al Gore for taking center stage with this observation and with your 10 year 100% carbon free electricity challenge to the candidates.

After spending most of the last 2 weeks with CNN's love affair with Obama, (3 days of "Aren't his children so cute" while in Hollywood., 2 days of "How could Jesse Jackson have said that" and then 2 days of Jackson apologizing, a day of "Can you believe the New Yorker could have printed that" and 2-3 days of how the New Yorker cover will really help Barack - Yep we're on a first name basis here - and now having to watch the anointed one shooting a basketball in Afghanistan) listening to a well versed, experienced and genuinely concerned American is refreshing.

Of course now we will no doubt have to endure a week or more of drooling crowds mindlessly chanting "Yes We Can" in a bunch of foreign languages as Obama does his "World Tour"… Oh well

Hey CNN stick to the issues and balance your coverage a lot of people who watch/read you don't support Obama, and some even think he is a disingenuous neophyte. Nope, all those folks don't watch Fox News, at least not yet…

I'm sure there was prejudice against Hillary, just as there was against Obama. Some people voted for them because the were either female or black and some didn't because they were female or black. I do believe that Hillary was greatly hurt as a woman by having her husband doing alot of her campaigning when she was trying to represent herself as representing women. In the end, if you truly look at their campaigns, Obama ran a much better campaign that worked within its budget and showed greater leadership. They both made some mistakes along the way and some of their supporters got down right nasty but I can't really see that Hillary was the victim and as Bill said, if you can't take the heat, you shouldn't be out their trying to be president. I think Hillary and her "kitchen sink" approach hurt her and I'm a 55 year old white female. Obama simply was a better leader and hopefully in the near future we can elect a female for president, i just hope it is someone other than Hillary.

No more about Mrs. Clinton and the Presidency please. This blog needs to turn the page. That book is closed for 2008.

If she is to be Vice President, Mr. Obama will decide. Those that seek to DEMAND it from him or EXTORT it from him only make it LESS LIKELY to happen.

Senator Obama has shown he is not soft, can't be punked, isn't weak on foreign affairs, nor is he naive and reckless as McCain has claimed. He is the Democratic Party nominee … accept it and get behind him. He will be the best thing for American in this changing world and will be head-and-shoulders above McCain, no pun intended.

From the headline I first thought "the article was about Bill", happy to find that not to be the case…

The election of Obama could well mean the end of the world as we know it.

Shannon I agree there was sexist comments made about Sen Clinton, but can you give me 1 example of Sen Obama, or anyone in his camp making a sexist comment? Just 1??? The sexist comments were made by the media, (people who are only interested in ratings) or the nut cases on these post. (Most of them are Republicans trying to divide the Dem. Party) It's not fair to blame Obama for what others are saying, even his supporters who acted like children on these post.

Also there was alot of racism in the primary. Where was Sen Clinton? I didn't see her standing up for him, nor did I see the dem party standing up for him. I did see Bill compare him to Jackson. Something that alot of us African Americans didn't like.

This is politics. You don't defend your competition.

I believe w/ the issues that we have at hand, Hillary would have been the best candidate in the issues that we are facing at this time. I supported Hillary from the beginning and very disappointed that she did not become the nominee for the democratic party but I still think she would have been the best candidate. If only we could redo the primary. Go Hilary!!!

Obama says one thing one day, the opposite the next, on every issue.
Like the Chicgo paper said, he is a Chicago politician. Period.
I am now more interested in knowing if the media is going to be filming the 20,000+ protesters camping out in City Park during the DNC convention. Are they going to be filming the 10,000 homeless being shipped out or sent to the movies? Are they going to film the 19 groups of protesters, in their designated only areas? Are they going to film the ACLU lawyers all running around with their cameras trying to catch something to sue the city for? Will they be showing the closing of the states major Interstate and other streets being closed so Obama can get to Invesco to give his crown?
I doubt it. Will have to catch it on You tube.
Spend some time reading the Rocky Mtn. News and Denver Post instead of all this name calling and bashing of CNN.
We all know the left stream media has stiffies for Obama. No secret there.

No wonder the "good" people of Denver are getting out of Dodge for the week.

Blaming the media is an old story. Maybe I missed it but I have yet to hear Clinton say that maybe her campaign was flawed. It damaged her nomination chances more than anything else. As soon as she admits this I will listen to the sexism argument.

AL GORE ENDORSED THE RIGHT CANDIDATE !!

Texas Trail Dog you hate Obama ! Although you say that is not because of colour, the way you present it suggests you are hiding your racism. Stand up and say what you want to say straight away!

Something is wrong with this picture! No matter how or what Obama do is criticized. No one told John McCain what or not to do. Could John McCain be jealous of Obama, because Obama played Basketball and he can't? The news media is forever putting this Obama, no matter what. Is this because he is Black? He will get the Job done and I trust him.

Leave Obama alone and let him do it his way. Obama is not stupid; he knows how to get what he wants… Obama is simply mixing with the people oversees and making the foreigners feel comfortable with him, could make a difference. They are looking for something or someone new.

The media is trying to make Obama choose Sen. Clinton for his Vice President. That is no one business but his, and he has the right to run his Campaign like everyone else. It is as you can be the Presidential Nominee, but you have to do it, our way. Have you ever changed your mind about anything. There is no way, you can do and say what you think is best. Things change each and every day, so there is no limit.

Gore you got it right Hillary was amazing in the campaign for Democrats included the best candidate for the country of all, but the media and Obama's campaign did everything in their power to made impossible for her to be the nominee. They used the money power to win, but they are running such a clown campaign twisting everything in their favor. I am sick and tired in how the Obama's campaign trying to win. He knows, the people know and I know the best was, is and will be Hillary Clinton. (she is very knowledgeable in the issues, smart, kind, dedicated, strong and sharp in her goals. Al Gore women are not forgetful and Obama is going to pay for that….he and his campaign offended women to many times and now he want to pretend that women just forgot/ only in his dreams and hope for change to the worst. Unpatriotic guy/ offending people in SF because they did not supported him and a couple times he got out of control six shooter…etc. Hillary supporters voted for her because her value not because they are dem. So, now support only for Hillary or Mccain 08. MONEY DON'T BUY EVERYTHING OBAMA. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.

Thats all good and said. However what Gore said about Clinton will not change anyone's mind that wasn't and isn't supporting Obama. It wasn't that she was a woman - it was that she was/is the best candidate. The democrats really messed this up. McCain will take it come November and there is no one else to blame then the DNC and the people who made it happen.

I wish we had a media outlet that reports the real issues that are affecting all americans regardless of the COLOR OF A PERSON'S
SKIN. This article is in so poor taste. "A black man running against a women". We all are feeling the "squeeze" as a result of high gas, food, and medical coverages. Please do better!

This Presidential Election is between All American Baby and Kenyan Anchor Baby.
Gore is just trying to appease the base by talking highly about Hillary. The fact is the democrats rejected Woman and accepted inexperienced black man as their presidential nominee. Democrats were not ready for Woman to be their President, but they are ready to accept inexperienced black man to be their President. If they did not chose the black man they were afraid to loose their voting block. Go Figure!!!. Truth Hurts.

Al Gore just cannot stay out of the 'limelight'; does he still have dreams of running for president in the future? Heaven forbid!
