Then that makes abzoultly no sense. Stop with the "I'd vote for Hilary but not Obama". She is not on the ballet anymore. Do you know what both parties stand for? If you were to vote for Hilary then you would have more in common with Obama. Not McCain. Have some maturity on the issue. Everyone please!

I don't get this: The most important thing to do is to get a Democrat to get Elected into Office.

Even if the Democrat is not Qualified and is quite frankly a scary option?

This sounds like it a power grab more than what is good for the county.

If A DEM wins, they will have the Conrgress, the Senate and the White House.

I think that is scary and will lead to corruption and backroom deals as it was when republicans controlled everything.

No Party is Better than the Other. They are both corrupt.

That is why We need checks and Balances.

Stupid CRYSTSAL ! Obama is the democratic nominee…GET OVER IT!

I think it is pathetic that people can't accept that she lost, end of story. It's sad that there are so many uneducated people that would put the country at great risk in order to be spiteful. I guess this is why are country is where it is now, because of people like her and her supporters!!

Obama '08

Becky Montgomery- I wonder how you would feel if your candidate Obama the fool was treated like a piece of trash and the nomination was stolen from him? It has nothing to do woth egos, it has everything to do with electing the better candidate. You Obama people are arogant fools !!!!

All I can say to Crystal is that a vote for McCain is a vote to send your children, your children's children to war, and probably an unjust war. Think about it, do you want to sacrifice your loved ones this way.
I trust Obama, he will turn our country around, and he will place Hillary in a good position to support his efforts.

CRYSTAL:

shut up

sincerely

…..everybody else

Crystal, why are you being a whiney, pouty, crybaby? The person you wanted to win the Primary, didn't, so you vote against the party? Grow up.

Hillary Clinton is the best qualified to lead our country. OBama has lost all credibility with his constant CHANGE and race stuff. The DNC sure picked the WEAK candidate that will never be elected.
As a life-long Dem I will not vote for him - and MILLIONS feel the same way. Without the Millions of Hillary supporters- VOTERS the Fraud/obama will never win.

Hillary Clinton supporters aren't going to vote for Obama anyway. It would be nice if Democrats would come to their senses and nominate Hillary instead of that empty suit, but Democrats only seem to want to shoot themselves in the foot.

Obama is a great reason for voting McCain. It will be only the second time I've voted for a Republican presidential candidate, and I cast my first vote in 1972.

Not only CAn she stop this, she SHOULD stop this for the good of the party. Hillary understands what's at stake and I trust her to do the right thing and make sure Obama is elected come November.. She is a Democrat with a capital "D" till the day she dies and she will not risk her reputation and political career over this.

Gimme a break! Angry Clinton supporters, why can't you just let the process play out the way it should? This is ridiculous. If you educate yourselves just a little bit, you will realize that Obama is an excellent choice, definitely better than McCain. Stop this nonsense already!

I have had enough Clinton's for a life time. Please support the party candidate.

If the Hillary Clinton has said what her intentions are. Then her "followers" who are trying to disrupt the process are not really her followers. They have their own agenda, period. Their agenda is apparently to try and stop the first African-American presidential nominee from claiming his rightful place.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of them are from West Virginia, Ohio and rural Pennsylvania.

I havent this much crying in washington in a long time. Mr and Mrs Clinton ,,heres a reality check: Sen Obama is the nominee!!!!
If you want to be devisive,,be devisive…if not, you MUST learn how to be a team player. Sorry.

Dream on, the word unity does not exist in the Clinton vocabulary, unless you are unified for THEM. They are the most selfish, self-centered people on the planet.

They made 109 million dollars, and most of it from books and speaking engagements, none of which they would have had if Bill had not been president. I think we've given them enough.

Bill's interview was a travesty. He should be ashamed of himself. "You could argue that no one is ready to be president". The man is a snake and doesn't deserve the time of day. He can stay in Africa for all I care, his legacy is toast. Don't bother with the photo opts with little black babies, they can't help his selfish soul.

Obama 08

I understand the frustration from the primary season as both Clinton and Obama fought hard for the party's nomination, but those that refuse to vote for Obama out of spite are only hurting the people of this country. Sure, a loss in the Presidential race would take a toll on Obama, but it won't remove him from politics or diminish his future chances to lead the party in future presidential bids. If McCain wins, this country will continue down the path set by the Bush administration, and if we continue down this path for 4 more years, we may not ever be able to reverse the damage that has been done. We should put the country first and worry about the futures of our children, not the disappointment we feel for not having our first choice as the nominee.

GO OBAMA!
Obama '08

To say that if NOBAMA loses the election this fall will be Hillary's fault is the most STUPID thing I have EVER heard……. Give me a break - WAKE UP - this is not a popularity contest - even those the media IS electing our next president!!! Do not SHOVE Obama down our throats!!!!

Hillary 08 / McCain 08

Omg get over it already!

TO HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS: NOT ONE OF HER SUPPORTERS SHOULD GO TO THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
TO DISRUPT THE PROCEEDINGS. INSTEAD STAY , BE COUNTED AND LET THE OBAMA CAMP DO WHAT THEY WILL.
IF HILLARY SUPPORTERS REMAIN UNITED BEHIND HER, THEY CAN DO A LOT MORE BY BEING ORDERLY, SOLIDLY UNITED AND THEN MAKE THEIR POWER IN NUMBERS AND MONEY COUNT AFTER OBAMA MAKES HIS VP CHOICE. IF HILLARY IS NOT NAMED
BY OBAMA AS HIS VP CHOICE, AS IT IS MORE LIKELY, THEN ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS SHALL WITH-HOLD THEIR MONEY AND VOTES FROM OBAMA IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.
I WILL VOTE FOR SENATOR MCCAIN . AND IF JUST 25% OF HILLARY SUPPORTERS WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN. OBAMA WILL THEN BE DEFEATED AND HILLARY WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RUN AGAIN IN 2012. THE ONLY WAY IS TO STAY UNITED AS HILLARY SUPPORTERS. NOT ONE CENT AND NOT ONE VOTE SHALL GO TO OBAMA IF HILLARY IS LEFT OUT OF THE VP SPOT.

How do you get experience to be President of the United States? Everyone that touts that claim are using that as an excuse for a personal dislike for people like Barack Obama. What do you think he learned at Columbia and Harvard? The role of President is constantly studied, what is it that he seemed not to learn? What experience does Hillary or McCain have? Would Barbarah, or Nancy make excellent Presidents? They have experience right? Has McCain ever been a part of our country's Executive Branch? If you don't like Obama, fine, don't vote for him. But the reality is that his supporters (who outnumber Clinton's) doesn't come out in weekly polls but the voting boothes on Election Day. It's time for a CHANGE!

Becky Montgomery>>>>You are RIGHT ON!!!

Clinton can kiss her political career goodbye if Obama loses because of her childish supporters. I'd vote for Paris Hilton before I'd vote for Hillary again. Her immature suporters blame Obama for HER losing the Nomination instead of placing the blame where it should be…on HER failed campaign, over-extended finances, gutter attacks and when all else failed—-claims of sexism. What a bunch of crybabies.

The Dems have really TWO Clintons to contend with at Denver.

I am sick and fed up of hearing Hillary Clinton being blamed for everything that goes wrong with the Democratic Party. If Obama loses the election in November blame the supporters, the media, the DNC and Obama himself. Give her a break. She has had to put up with all the ridicule and rude comments all through the Primaries leave her alone now. If I were in her shoes I would not be able to campaign for Obama but again I am not a Politician. She CANNOT literally stop her supporters from voting for whom they want. They are adults with minds of their own. I have always said that the media may have won him the nomination and lost him the election. As far as I am concerned Hillary was the best person for the job but the Democratic Party has messed up again by SELECTING THE ROCK STAR!!!

If Obama expects to win, he had better do more than just talk about accommodating Clinton's supporters, and provide more than empty promises, otherwise many of them will stay home on election night. The race is closer than Obama's supporters would like to believe regardless of the media's great affection for the candidate, and ensuring Clinton's voters actually do vote on election night will be critical for a victory.

After the Democratic Convention–MCain/Clinton??

Crystal ,I've learned that in politics you don't have parmanent friends nor parmenent enemies but permanent interest. You and your conscience will go down in history for destroying HRC future in politics. Please vote for McCain.

Go for it girl!

If a Democrat were to win the WH, I'd rather see another Clinton in there than Obama. At least we know what she's like. I don't trust her but I trust Obama even less.

Obama is a big-time hypocirite.

He ran against Hillary as a Washington 'insider'; now he wants her support.

Why Hillary gives it is beyond me. She was shafted in her campaign by both Obama and a fawning media, especially CNN.

Hillary yes. Obama never, never, never.

The media once agains spins this so they can have their daily drama and conflict. Clinton merely stated that her supporters should have their voices heard at the convention so they don't feel left out - in other words, she wants unity.

And Bill Clinton said of Obama, "He should win. He will win." Yet the media managed to spin that into another fake "Bill Clinton is angry and bitter" story.

It's unreal.

Crystal I guess you will be voting for mcold timer in NOvember. SOOOOOOO what? Hillary is not going to be on the ticket, she LOST!!!!!!! it's over and I for one am sick and tired of all you ignorant Hillary pain in the @#$%^% supporters . I'm also sick of your threats to vote for the wrinkley guy, nobody cares this is old news Hillary lost she wont be on the VP list she is not trustworthy nor is her husband.

even if Obama loses the nomination, which he wont, she still won't be on the ballot. I am a 50 year old woman and I was going to vote for Hillary intially but she showed her true colors, dirty tricks and dirty politics. she is power hungry and that is not what we need from our president we have enough of that now. Give it a rest, IT's OVER!!!

Obama

Becky you are giving Hillary too much credit. Obama won the nomination and it is in his hands to stop this. Obama and his supporters are the ones in charge. I am a Hillary supporter and a Democrat. I don't think Obama will make a good president, I think he is in this for the wrong reasons. When your options are between Obama and McCain , you really don't have enough reason to get out of the house and vote. We are being asked to vote for boring or exciting. With boring the disappointed would not be as strong. With excitement, he is just saying and doing what the people want to hear. Email me when he is in office for awhile. The media, I can't wait to see them with egg on their face, AGAIN!

Obama is gonna take this, it will make his ego even bigger. After he gets the win, that is when the media will let you know that everything about him and his books are embelishments of the truth.. Obama still has to convince me to vote for him and he hasn't done it with all the speeches of the "same"…. I won't cast a vote for McCain, I'm still not convinced to get out of the house and vote for Obama..

Yes, Crystal………I am with you…….

I forgot a word. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really sad that people would say they would have voted for Hillary but now only will vote for McCain, considering their view points and policies are night and day. Where as there is such little difference between Obama and Clinton’s policy. Are people that ignorant or are they just that afraid to move out of the past, apparently the skin color is more important to the ignorant than the beliefs and policy behind the person…

Becky Montgomery,

You seem to forget it is NOT about the party, it is about COUNTRY; who is FIT to LEAD this COUNTRY, who is TRUSTWORTHY. I wouldn't trust Obambi to take care of my dog if he's my neighbor while I'm on vacation.

You're a young person, your reasoning lacks plain and simple common sense.

crystal. who cares what you think?

They both are losers. Ron Paul in 08!!!

Um.. CRYSTAL… You said country above party.. Clearly you should be casting your vote for Obama.

MoveOn.org is going to flipout!!!!!!

As a Democrat who is excited about the Obama for President Election to be, I am tired of the Clintons still trying to tie up the convention and the election. They are going to lose African-American support big-time if t hey keep this rhetoric up. African-Americans supported Hillary initially because of Bill; however, his covert racism and attitude toward his defeated wife as got to stop. They would not understand if this had been reversed and she had been the nominee and the strategic African-American and other minority support had appeared to elude them because of how they treated Obama. Obama needs the white female support. He has not attacked Hillary or either Clinton and they are still trying to take control of the party. Enough is enough. This is his time to shine. I am sorry that the Clintons are such sore loosers. What lesson are they teaching Chelsea about life experiences? Please think further than this immedacy. You learn from your parents all the time not just in your formative years. Please allow Obama to have the Democratic Convention and go on to become the President of the People. You would have wanted him to do that for you, had it been reversed. Give him what is due him. Thank you.

Crystal, that's insane. If you have any regard for Hillary and what she stands for, voting for John McCain out of sheer post-primary bitterness is a callous betrayal of the candidate you once supported.

Becky Montgomery, Hillary Clinton is NOT the person who divided the party. We all know that is was Senator Obama himself by first disenfranchising Florida and Michigan. I find it ironic that he now wants a full 100% reinstatement of Florida and Michigan votes. Too little too late. Either way, I will never for McCain. If Senator Obama still remains the nominee, I will vote for him. There is no way we can repeat another Bush administration. And, by the way, our egos ARE NOT in play here. This election was stolen by Obama's dirty tactics during the caucuses, debates, and beyond. He disrespected Hillary and there is NO EXCUSE for that. We Clinton supporters will remember this. GO HILLARY!!!

Crystal:

Your comment sounds like EGO before COUNTRY OR PARTY. It doesn't make sense to vote for someone whose policies contridicts your first choice for President. To choose someone who is so far off the scale of Senator Clinton's beliefs does not indicate that you are putting the Country before the Party.

Now, if you DO believe in the policies of Senator McCain, then you weren't really a Clinton supporter.

So you're either egotistical or a fake Clinton supporter.

She lost. It's over. Get over it!

After the last 7 years, this should be a Democratic landslide, but thanks to Clinton's hanging on after it was obvious she couldn't win and her supporters' continuing silly divisiveness, it's a statistical dead heat.

All these alleged Clinton supporters will totally have egg on their face, and her by extension if we end up with McWar and his ability to appoint 1, or more, anti-Roe Supremes!

Shame on you.. Hillary!

Hillary CANNOT be trusted under any circumstances. She is willing to throw the people of the United States, her supporters and the Democratic party under the bus. Unfortunately, her selfishness cannot be controlled.

Crystal: such a stupid remark…Hillary can't replace Obama as democratic nominee and slavery won't be reinstated either so your ballon has bursted.

Hillary lost! It's not about her.

Barack Obama is certainly…probably… most likely… nearly… almost qualified to be president….some day…

crystal is clinton replaces obama her career is done

These Clinton supporters have no intention of resolving their differences with the DNC. What do they mean "if they feel she has not been accorded proper deference"?!!!!!! How much respect do they want…i guess Barack should resign his nomination then? get over yourselves PUMA people!!

I think that Obama will have Clinton on his ticket. None of the other VP hopefuls have the WOW and knowledge that she has. Obama would be a fool not to pick her as the VP. Just like Kenndy and Johnson.

Several joint appearences, not sure what your defintiion of several is CNN?

She is smart to avoid this sinking ship and her husband is totally correct with his statements the other day about the race card being played on him. Now he is trying it with McCain.

The more the messiah is away from his teleprompter and softball questions from the swooning media, the more he puts his foot in his mouth and we get to hear "the real" chosen one and his audacity of NOTHINGNESS.

He was going to wear a blue shirt today, but McCain is wearing one, so he changed his mind, "excuse me", he "redefined" his shirt position and then went on to blame McCain for wearing the blue shirt first.

Thank you for SELECTING him and not ELECTING the more qualified Hillary.

To Crystal: Don't you mean Hillary above country. If you were really concern about country no way could you ever vote for Mcain. Hillary supports Obama and if you support Hillary then you must support Obama unless you are not truely a Hillary supporter or only a republican. How can anyone who says they support Hillary could support Mccain unless they are supporting her only becaus she is a female and not her policy which by the way or closer to Obama then Mccain's.

I'm sure Senator Clinton is too smart to do anything to jeopardize her political career. Her zealous supporters should know that if anything is done to hurt Senator Obama's chances of being President won't go over well with those of us who support Senator Obama and the Democratic Party. Senator Clinton would definitely not win in 2012 and lose her Senate seat as well when reelection times rolls around.

The person who won the Democratic nomination, won it fairly. He was honest and sincere. He made his case to the American public, we believed him, and we voted for him. That's it.

Hillary should be ashamed of herself for creating drama. If she wants to be queen, let her buy a ticket to China. In this country we vote, and we voted for Barack Obama. She should grow up and stop whining.

O/08

Even if Obama pick Hillary as the VP, I still won't vote for him. I'm voting for John McCain!!!!

For people who insist that Hillary be treated as equal to any male candidate they sure are insisting upon her getting preferential treatment.

So, now the real reason comes out………she wants her name put up….
even all the while,saying she was going out to campaign for Obama…
this would also explain mr. bill's short temper at reporters…..another plan unfoot ??????? Time will tell. I thought the DNC was to be united behind Obama……I know I am doing all I can to help him…..How about them ???????………Well, all eyes on the convention.

Becky Montgomery:

Well said. There is too much at stake to coddle those who are incapable of grasping the whole picture and thinking globally.

Spot on.

One of the things that some of these Clinton people don't understand is that not everyone voted for her. It's that a lot of people voted against Obama.

Clinton isn't dumb. She knows that if she does this, she'll lose a huge democratic block and a lot of black folk. She's angling for something; a cabinet post or AG.

If her supporters go elsewhere then her career is over. She will not even be re-elected back to the senate or as dog catcher. She will be blamed and have millions of democrates calling her everything in the book.

I agree. This is over. LET IT REST! its Obama vs. McCain. Cystal, its people that think like you that will get what they deserve if McCain manages to pull this off. Get over your bruised ego and vote for the person that acutally thinks like Hillary does. if you want to vote for someone that goes completely against her policy agenda, then ask yourself why.

VP for Hillary or PUMA!!!!!!

Comments toward to who is riskier choice obama or McCain? No one is perfect but at least Obama is upfront about raising Taxes. He laid out his plan and mention people who earn more than 250K will tax more which is very small percentage of our population. But on the other hand McCain said he may raise Taxes. This is only mean he will raise taxes but too worry to admit it before election. Who is riskier, the person up front about it or the person who is giving mix signal? Also about the Iraq war Obama said he will pull the troops writhing 16 months but McCain said he can go as long as 100 years. This is a costly war. Where you think the fund coming from, it’s all tax payer money. McCain will raise tax so that he can stay in Iraq for 100 years.

If Hillary wouldn't have never been involved in this election, she would have never stirred up the 'uneducated' people. Due to lack of insight, those people are going to vote for McCain regardless.

If Hillary was the one running against McCain, I would definately vote for Hillary because I know she has more positive values than McCain.

How can anyone vote for another Bush term again? McCain isn't going to do nothing for nobody.

I don't think that causing a division in the party is to her benefit. She's never going to be nominated at the convention anyway. She better do the honorable thing by throwing all her weight behind Barack! She shouldn't be like Bill.

All elections are important - not just this one just because its Obama running. Hillary Clinton could do anyrthing she wants to do, and she does not need threats that her career is over if she does not go along with what Obama supporters want. She could become an independent and beleive me her career would not be over. Just ask 18 million voters about that. Also, Obama supporters do not control Hillary's supporters one bit - actually nor does HIllary. Obama is going to have to make it on his own this time, which is not something he is used to doing.

18 Million may have voted for Hillary, but few actually want to destroy the Democratic Party. I am sure the GOP will pay for busses and stagecraft for these disenfranchised people.

But let be clear, that is exactly what they are, disenfranchised, as they will never have credibility in the Dem party after their traitorous actions.

Also, these people are not Hillary supporters, or they would not be set on making Hillary a pariah to the Democratic party and as such destroy any chance she had of a leadership role in the Dem part or Obama's Administration.

oh goodness. She's back again?? (sigh)

CRYSTAL YOU GOT IT RIGHT!

I completely agree. Clinton has my vote. No way Obama gets mine. I will vote for John McCain.

I HOPE ALL YOUR 18MILLION SUPPORTERS PAY YOUR DEBT OFF

YOU ARE NOT GETTING A DIME FROM ME.

ASK YOUR SUPPORTERS TO PAY YOUR DEBT

ASK YOUR SUPPORTERS TO PAY YOUR DEBT OKEY HILLARY

It's not too late for the Democrats to admit that they've made a mistake in choosing Obama and still nominate Hillary. Obama with his countless flip-flops is not the principled statesman that he advertised but rather just another cheap, ambitious politician. Obama changes his mind so often that by now most people don't know where he stands on the issues, if Obama even knows himself. The Democrats should cut their losses before they get even bigger, dump Obama, and nominate Hillary.

Thanks Crystal! Now, with that being said, can you please "bow out " of the blogs that have anything to do with Senator Obama and Senatoro Clinton because as silly as you sound, no one else needs to hear from you.

Senators Obama and Clinton have come to an agreement on how they will handle matters at the convention. It is called a UNITED FRONT. It should be apparent over the past several months that Senator Obama is not going to let anyone strong-arm him on HIS DECISIO\N to select a running. Democrats will UNITE despite those of you who would rather have discord and contention than accept the facts, as Senator Clinton has.

Again, on behalf of all the Democrats, "Thank you very much" for moving on to the John McCain camp. The Democrats cannot use fickle and frivilous supporters who are more bent on their own desires that the good of the party.

The Democratic Convention:
Hillary and Bill's chance to sulk in public.
Gee, I can't wait–NOT.
What sore losers. Key word being losers!

Your candidate lost. Get over it and come back to the real world.

Still feeling entittled?

He had best make her his v.p. or I am afraid McCain will end up taking Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Wake up Obama

You gotta wonder about the true motives of anyone that would be an HRC believer, then choose to vote for McCain over Obama. Logically, if your candidate isn't the nominee, wouldn't you want the person you vote for be the one that is closest to your ideology ? Voting for McCain is a complete 180 from what HRC stands for.

What do clintons want from Obama, what does he owe them?

The McObama trolls keep threatening half the Democrats that any dissent, or even expression of disagreement, won't be tolerated. These McObama trolls just don't understand that freedom of expression is a basic American right, a sign of respect, and that if the rights and views of Hillary's supporters are respected and heard, they will fall in behind McObama. However, if the voices and views of Hillary's supporters are not allowed to be heard and respected, then the PUMAs will leave the party. It won't be Hillary's fault, but the fault of the MoveOn Obama trolls who will have irrevocably split the Democratic Party by their fascist tactics.

what is it with this "every voice heard" thing? what about the voices that voted opposite? what about the voices that will NEVER be heard like Ron Paul folks, or the voters that want a third party to break this gridlock and sameness across the board? voices…? is that what this is all about?

or is it something more incideous; like spite? OMG PLEASE; the world can't take any more of the same policies. this election will affect your children, your grandchildren. i don't get this obsessive attitude…?

it seems so childlike to throw a fit until you get what you want. but this is not over a doll or toy; but the future.

i think Obama and Clinton are identical and would gladly vote for either. the moment Obama lost i wouldn't think twice about voting for Hillary…it just wouldn't cross my mind to vote for four more years.

I just dont' get it people? what is REALLY driving this obsession? if this goes down, Hillary will NEVER be forgiven if McCain wins in November. NEVER.

It is a sad day in history, yet again…Our votes AGAIN will not be counted. Hillary's name should be included on the ballot. As I am sure other names on the republican slot. The presumptive candidates are John McCain and Obama. They are not yet the "official" candidates. I can tell you I will stay home this election year. I do not feel my vote has been counted. I would vote for McCain, but why feed the beast? These are the best we can do? The only way to change the politics is to start fresh. NO ONE take ANY money to sway any votes. Vote with your heart and peace of mind. Quit adding to laws to sneak disheartening things past American voters! Want to know what is wrong with our morals start with our law making, political, judicial systems. What, oh what are we teaching our children?

Obama should unite the party and pick Hillary. His speech at the 2004 convention…"This is not the divided states of America…", well let's not have a divided democratic party. Learn to love one another. The republicans that hate Hillary are the same ones that will never vote for Obama. You cannot change that, unfortunately.

I would vote for a democratic ticket with Clinton either as President or Vice President. Otherwise, my vote is undecided. I am tending to lean towards McCain on some issues and Obama on others. Democrats, if you want to ensure a White House victory, recognize Clinton's win in the popular vote and get her on the ticket.

Brett Farve is no longer a Green Bay Packer…this is what people should be talking about, not all this Hiliary, Barry Obama stuff.

Please rethink your decision Crystal. I agree Becky the supporters need to get off their high horse. The nominee is Barack and that won't change come convention. We need to unite during this very important election.

I agree wit Crystal - Obama is not good for America. Maybe in a few years when he grows up in the Senate and gets some idea of what is really going on, then maybe. I think it is funny when he says he wants to be the first African American to become president. Sounds racial to me - he is half white??? Does this mean he would be the first 1/2 Afro American voted as president, what about the white part. Sounds like he is playing the "race card".

ABC
Anybody But Clinton.
She make me sick.
She is so self-centered.
ABC

Amen! Crystal!

Obviously, Bill Clinton has Obama's number! He knows that Barry is not the right choice. Silence speaks louder than words!

NOBAMA!

Oh no! What will the media do! With nothing to talk about and no problems to stir up. Real issues I am sure are not interesting enough. It about makes ya sick, listening to the morning news programs. Very close to Tabloid news. The news media , cable news and "Journalists" alike should be ashamed of themselves. They are the ones preventing our country from focusing on the issues, perpetuating the partisanship in this country. People need to rise up and stop this. Quit buying into it people, and I bet it would stop.

GO HILLARY!!! NOBAMA!!!

if somehow she does pull the nomination out from under Obama, she will lose her party support and lose miserably in November. She will never be able to stand with anybody again since her trust has been lost. Which will sad to see since she is a great and capable woman.

Her name should absolutely remain on the democratic roll call. Howard Dean's name remained on the roll call, as well as a few other past presidential primary candidates. There is no harm in it and she should be given that recognition. I would like to see her name remain in the nomination ballot, however. No harm in that either, since Obama is the "presumptive" nominee, it would not hurt his nomination should her name remain on it.

This is just what the GOP wants, divisiveness. Well, they can certainly count on Hillary for that. Unless you are slopping up her lies and supporting her, she's going to make it hard for everyone.

It's sad because so many people, including blacks have done so much for the Clintons, and when it's their time to return the favor, they're missing in action.

You might say that the Clintons have done a lot for minorities, but they wanted their votes, and four presidencial terms. Well they got two out of the four. Enough is enough, no more.

Sounds like the "joint" statement really came from obama. maybe not so "joint" afterall.

The DNC broke this Humpty Dumpty and can’t put it back together…

There are too many of us that are so unhappy on the shenanigans that went on by the DNC in picking BO that we will NOT support him under any circumstances that do not include HRC. I will NOT vote for someone that was in my view picked by the party leaders and not by the voters.

DR. Dean and the DNC mess this one royally and they envisioned that we will all be all singing KUMBAYA by now.

You want to talk party unity we need a solemn unbreakable rule in the party “ WE WILL NEVER AGAIN DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS.”

NEVER TAKE AWAY THE VOTES; NEVER!!! Now call me an idiot, call me any name in the book but I will for the first time in my life vote republican.

She lost. Get over it and move on with your lives. And if you really are a Hillary supporter who is going to vote for McCain and he wins, you'd better not be here a year from now complaining about how badly the McCain administration is screwing you over.

I'm sorry Becky, but an Obama loss would not be Hillary's fault, nor will lead to her political demise. Hillary got 18 Million Votes, these voters want their voice heard. I personally think she's done to much for Obama without compensation. Obama needs to make Hillary Vice President, or he will not win.

Black Male in DC

I think it is but fair to have Hillary's name on the convention to satisfty her more than 18 million supporters. This has nothing to do with being divisive. I don't think that is a decision for Hillary to make but for the voters/supporters. Hillary continues to exude the leadership that USA should really have.
In the beginning she was really the best contender to beat McCain but her own party didn't treat nor respect fairly.

hilary is less important to our cause as long as her supporters keep claiming to jump ship and go with the same old policy - if your not part of the solution then you are the problem

Hillary Clinton is an adult who accepts that she did not win the nomination and that the process was fair. She shows a lot of integrity by supporting Obama, whose views are much closer to her own than John McCain's.

Too bad she has so many childish supporters who would rather saddle the country with McCain, who is not supported by Hillary, because they didn't get their way.

Do the PUMAs understand what will happen if they are actually successful in splintering the party in Denver?

IT WILL CAUSE A CIVIL WAR WITHIN THE PARTY WHICH WILL END HER CAREER! If she is seen as responsible for losing the election, she won't be able to get support to be elected hall monitor!

USE YOUR HEADS!

IT'S OVER

Every newspaper carried Michele Obama's spotlight with the military families. So, CNN-where is the article? and picture of Michelle?

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THIS WOMAN EVEN IF SHE DECIDES TO RUN IN 2010

THIS WOMAN WILL LOSE BIG

This is just what the GOP wants, divisiveness. Well, they can certainly count on Hillary for that. Unless you are slopping up her lies and supporting her, she's going to make it hard.

It's sad because so many people, including blacks have done so much for the Clintons, and when it's their time to return the favor, they're missing in action.

You might say that the Clintons have done a lot for blacks, but they wanted votes, and four presidencial terms. Well they got two. Enough is enough, no more.

Breaking news by "Newsmax.com" indicates a little something else, the headline tells it all Obama welshes on Hillary Promise". The article states that though in debt, Hillary quickly fullfilled her promise. But cash rich Obama has yet to cough up the dough from his backers. and further into the article it states the "Hillary seriously doubts that Obama can beat McCain come November. And she is thinking of keeping her name in nomination and demand a vote at the party's Denver Convention. Hillary wants to remind voters and the media that she was the alternative to Obama, a important point that could be brought home on Election Day". For those that just want us to go away, if her name does not go into nomination we will not for for Obama and he will surely lose. There are a few million of us and we will make the difference on who wins and who loses.

I hope Hillary doesn't get pressured into a corner by the Obamaites with their glib "Unity" excuse. We know that they will say whatever they think will make Hillary cowtow to Barry.

We know Barry's 'people' will try anything to get their way - lie, cheat, steal, threaten… it's the Chicago way!

Barry's got to go!

NOBAMA08!

Flip Floppery;

It is astounding to me…. that in the midst of tossing around the "flip-flop issue… How is it… that it is not considered a more dynamic type of thinking… that ideas, and plans can change, in the face of changing circumstance. That… is simply strategic thinking… or… perhaps…plain old common sense.

By the way….How well did "staying the course" work for our president George Bush .. in relation to the unneccessary war that has cost so many lives… so much money.. .and has damaged our reputation as a country… Sure wish there would have been a little "Flip-floppery" there…

…Staying the course… although constant and unwavering… is perhaps.. "Staying the stupid"..

Do the PUMAs understand what will happen if they are actually successful in splintering the party in Denver?

Hillary should keep her distance from Obama. Make all the right noises but stay away from the rabid zombies and opportunists who surround Obama at the moment. Obama is going to self destruct in a bad way and the fall out in the democratic party will be ugly.

Then Hillary can pick up the pieces and remake the democratic party with a more centrist and sensible vision. Disavow the kooks. All of america would like to see that, even a large portion of republicans.

Then Hillary could easily win the presidency in 2012.

Crystal get over it already!

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY FOR DECIDING YOUR NAME BE UP FOR NOMINATION.

I REALLY LIKED YOU HILLARY BUT NOT ANYMORE

PARTY UNITY MY ( )

All those Clinton supporters who say they will vote McCain not only do themselves a disservice; but this country as well. Nothing was taken from Hillary during this campaign, she lost point blank. Neither she or her supporters can accept that fact. Take your loss "like a man" and help move this country in a better direction. If you vote with your heart and not your head this country will continue on its present path. Two states broke party rules and knew the consequences, if she wanted those states to count she would have fought to have them represented before she knew needed those votes and not after the lights went out on her campaign.

Barack the Vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's the only candidate QUALIFIED to become PRESIDENT!

Anyone who says because Hillary didn't win they will vote for McCain…. Shame on you! What about support for your democratic party or are you just flip floppers like McCain???

McCain and Bush have turned your beautiful country into a mess. Huge debt, lost repsect for the U.S from the rest of the worldl, a war you should never had gotten into, did I say huge debt?

Obamba offers the American people and the rest of the world HOPE! What a huge gift… HOPE!

So before you Hillary supporters vote please think about your country not your bruiesd ego's …. HOPE

Although many of Hillary's 18 million supporters may feel slighted because their candidate did't win, have they though about what would happen if they did get their wishes? The negative internal party backlash would be huge. Let's remember that she didn't win the nomination by a landslide. She only won if you count this state but not that state, or primaries, and not caucuses. I am not an Obamabot by far, but I see that if this spectacle continues and if there is some form of DNC override to the decision that was made on June 7th, that many voters that support Obama, would also chose to not vote. I am not saying that they will necessarily vote for McCain either but a non vote for the DNC candidate is basically a vot for the RNC candidate. Another issue would be that Hillary's image would be greatly tarnished among all voters nationally as someone that is willing to divide her party in order to get her name on the ballot. That is not fair to her, her supporters, or the DNC. This PUMA thing can really turn many young aspiring voters off to the Democratic Party altogether. Although, Republicans don't necessarily agree with McCain on most fronts, they are appearing to be the more stable party, and therefore the more stable choice for voters and future voters.

I just don't get it? I keep reading how Obama "tricked" Hillary out of the nomination. How he cheated, schemed and lied…all coming from a group called the PUMA's. Yet, I have seen NO evidence!!

Yet, what I have seen is that the Democratic Party leadership of Michigan and Florida knowingly and purposefully ignored the rules of the national party. The thing I try to teach my child is that if you get caught breaking the rules there are consequences. If the PUMA's want to be angry then take it our on the state democatic leaders of Florida and Michigan.

to Becky:

Hillary doesn't want to stop her bitter supporters, she is the one whose encouraging them to continue. I was originally a supporter of Hillary, because of Bill, but I have long lost all respect for these two lying fakes.

They are almost worst than the repugs because they never give it up, even after they have been exposed. I don't think old girl should be speaking at the Dem. convention either, she would be a better fit at the Rep convention.

Hehehe… She's going to steal the nomination. This is going to get good.

A vote for McCain over Obama because of sour grapes from Hillary's loss of the nomination is anything but putting country above party. Get over it.

OBAMA '08!

No matter how mad or upset you are, DO NOT vote for McBush!!!! Your children will be thrown into a draft, both boys and girls for the next 100 years!!!! We will be at war forever–look up Project for a New American Century. McCain is all mixed up in this and it is backed by Chenney and Rummy. Military global control. NOT GOOD!!!

Crystal. Yeah that makes a WHOLE lot of sense to vote for Mc Cain. After all his stance on healhcare, economy, and the war are so much like Hillary's. NOT!!!

People like you need to get a clue and realize that Republicans prey on people ignorant on REAL issues.

Get a clue

come on Obama supporters, Hillary Clinton has been very gracious following her defeat. It seems Obama supporters have been poor winners.

Crystal..

You are a fine example at how many Americans are..

Missinformed and childish..

I am not an American..

If she creates a problem, her career will be toast. I hope she kicks up as much dust as possible and makes a spectacle of herself. She's such a drama queen.

I heard this morning that when the Clintons aren't happy, everybody knows it. Hello, they're not happy, and everybody at the convention will know it. Her support is lukewarm at best, and Bill's support is zero.
I wish they would go away, find a trailer park and hibernate.

I remember watching Jessie Jackson at the 84 convention I believe, everyone talked about how he was taking attention away from Clinton. I agreed with them. Now Hillary is taking attention away from Barack. I think she should speak, but then go away. It's his time.

Clinton should stay away from anything connected to Obama.

Everyone seems to forget that polls taken DURING THE PRIMARY showed that Clinton would win over McCain, and that Obama would lose. Obama should be polling by a huge margin over McCain: (1.) the Republican president has the lowest approval rating ever; (2.) people want to get out of Iraq; (3.) the economy is in the toilet; (4.) the Republican campaign is disjointed and stumbling.

Yet, "somehow" polls show both candidates virtually tied or within the margin of error. The fact is that the Dem campaign has never been able to put any distance between Obama and McCain. As a result, the Dem party will continue to lurch toward November with a candidate who clearly is not the preference of likely voters.

I am hoping that HRC is wanting major respect for her primary campaign. It will help her image and power in the future. However, I believe she is smart enough to know that division is not good for the party, and its time to unify the party for November. If HRC divides the party at the convention, it will damage her in the future. I think she will work hard to pull the party together. She's a smart woman. She knows her job at the convention.

This is just like a nightmare that never go away for Obama. If she insist I will never never vote for her.

What a crock

"CRYSTAL" , you choosing to vote for McCain is basically saying that you would prefer to vote for another 4 years of Bush. I would understand that if you are one of the people in the 29% approval rating. That means at least 4 more years of iraq (>$5,000 a second), a president who admits that he knows very little about the economy, a president who has heard of the "internet", and on and on. Please, that would be like chopping off your nose to spite your face.

By Crystal "COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY … If Hillary replaces Obama as the democratic nominee … I would vote for her … If not … I'm voting for Senator John McCain in November. NOBAMA in November."

This is the dumbest comment I've ever heard. You have such an empty mind.

Crystal:

Take time on your break at McDonald's to post that? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard……

Geez, what happened? Why don't you have Obama's picture plastered on every story…

After Obama's trip overseas, he was up by about 9 points over McCain. Only a few days later Obama and McCain were tied.

Pundits and media were asking why….Why isn't Obama pulling away? The simple answer is that upon Obama's return to the U.S. talk of the VP sweepstakes really took off. The big news was that Hillary was not on the shortlist. When Hillary supporters heard this, Obama's standing began to slip, by around 5%. Of the 5%, about 1 to 2% jumped to McCain. The other 3 to 4% will stay home.

If Hillary is not on the ticket, it will be a closer race than what it should be. So close, in fact, that Obama might just not win….

Time to give Hillary a strong, strong look. If she's on the ticket, then the Democrats win hand down. Don't worry about the Republicans being "energized". The fact of the matter is, Democrats will be energized. Women will be energized. Blue collar workers will be energized. Those 18 million voters will be energized. With Kaine or Bayh, Obama might pick up a new state. With Hillary, Obama WILL pick up about three or four new states.

Something to really think about….

What if I declared, "If Huckabee gets the nomination, I'll vote for him. But if McCain wins, I'll vote for Hillary". I don't understand the argument of supporting the opposite candidate if you don't approve of the nomination of your own political party/ affiliation. You're not voting on issues, you're simply voting on spite. You're voting 'against' someone instead of 'for' someone, which is absurd.

Hillary and her supporters are pathetic. You lost, now let it go!!! Your campaign was terrible!!!! Hillary supporters should focus their energies on paying their candidates debt!!

As an American, I am greatly disappointed. It is time to move on and let great and positive beginings to come forward. Our country is in need of great change and great change we must have.

We as American's want strong and positive leaders in White House, Court Rooms, Police Department, Military and so on. This sort of behavior must stop for the sake of all American and for the future of our children.

God bless America.

Respectivily yours,

Ms. Rosa Torres-Sadler
Philadelphia, PA

Super-Delegates and Delegates unite…….Vote Hillary CLinton at the Democratic Convention,and reflect the change of the people.

Yay! Go PUMA!

Propagandizing
Uninspired
Misanthropic
Agitators

I still don't know why she has the following she does. Experience. . . .No she was the first lady. I would not vote for Laura Bush. Accomplishments. . . . .none that I am aware of.

She had to move her carpetbagging bu!! to NY to get elected. Someone please explain why she is loved. Specifics, and dont claim accomplishments or experience. She has neither.

The truth is, she is Bill's wife and a woman. Other than that she has got nothing to herald.

Hopefully we never have to hear from her or her husband again!

Becky in Montgomery

The Clinton's are FULLY aware that no matter what she does, WHEN Obama loses in the fall, they will be partly blamed.

Clinton, I will support you wholeheartedly!

Crystal, I agree with you———–NOBAMA IN NOVEMBER

crystal

sorry you have a lot of expaling to do… What does John McCain stand for that Hilary stood for. There is something deeper in your decision than just Hilary.

If they are smart then they should not go there to do their protest. What's the worst that can happen? Neither candidate will ever be able to run again. The other side would not vote for the other.

Think about it?

Its time to UNITE……take Hillary & obama's queue. They want unity!

The chickens are coming home to roost

Becky Montgomery makes a great point. Senator Clinton CAN stop this nonsense. However up to this point, she hasn't. Why she hasn't is the question of the century.

I cannot believe the kindergarten mentality of some people on this blog who wont support Obama bc Hillary lost!!!
If you take that juvenile attitude you * deserve* all the misery of another 4 years of the same ole misery bogged down in WAR and bad economy
bc of all the tax payers money going to pay for it instead of helping your economy!!! A lot of your money cannot even be accounted for!!! More War, Maybe another war, and maybe even a draft not to mention the Noble burnt out troops who will suffer more time away from their families and more who may die and the innocent Iraqis!!
GROW UP

@ CRYSTAL: how can you support Hillary ………..and vote McCain????
Makes no sense. McCain's record is just like Bush's except worse because he has been in the Congress for 26 years.

Crystal, set your ego aside and think things through. If the "Hillary supporters" want her to have a career in politics and even run and win in 2016, y' all need to consider supporting Sen. Obama, if he loses its also a loss for Mrs. Clinton.

The CLINTONS are ruining the democratic party. We are NOT in a dictatorship country where ONE family wants to impose their candidacy on ALL democrats. The CLINTONS will PAY for this dearly!

Hillary Clinton will NEVER be a president of the United States. Her 18 million voters should be writing in a check for $1 to pay off her campaign debt, but advise her to support Obama wholeheartedly, or else, democrats will lose BIG this time, and Hillary will AGAIN in 2012!

we need to unite or lose as a party. the choice is Hillary's & her angry PUMA supporters to make! -

Obama '08/'12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This article still doesn't clarify if Senator Clinton will allow her name to be entered into nomination, as have the past contenders since 1884. the only way to unite the party is to allow this historic primary to be recorded and to allow the votes of the delegates representing the people who voted for Hillary to be caste. If Senator Clinton thinks this is all about her, she is sadly mistaken. This is about party over individual. if Obama's people think this is about senator Clinton over Obama, they are sadly mistaken. This is about the rights of the american people to have equal say under the Constitution-an equal vote-compared to those who votedd or were prevented from voting in caucus states. This is about the future of america, not Senator Clinton's future. it is about the future of our Democracy. It is about the intentions of the framers of our Constitution. it is not about what senator's Obama, Clinton, or reid want right now. What Speaker Pelosi wants or what chairman Dean wants. We demand not only a roll call but that Senator Clinton put her name into nomination for president. It is our right, as 18 million voters who voted for her, to have our votes go down in history saying we voted for her. I could care less about her political career. She is in Congress to serve the people, not the reverse.

It must feel good to have loyal supporters who support her more than her party or the country. This is the product of her negative campaign.

When I first heard that the Clinton's were back at it, I felt sad and angry, at them and the Democratic Party.

But, then I realized that it really doesn't matter what the Clinton's do or don't do in their latest stunt to be "important." Because, Clinton can't win without the Obama supporters either. They have to power to be in the news because of their name recognition. However, "We, the People" have all the power on election day!

So, I've decided that whether or not Obama becomes the convention "nominee" I will vote for him. If he's not on the ballot, I will write his name down and punch the hole next to his name. In the meantime I will continue to give him contibutions and continue to keep his message of hope and "can do" spirit in my mind.

The beauty of our election system is that "We, the People" have all the power on election day. I am owning that power, despite all the noise between now and the 1st Tuesday in November, to vote for Obama on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008.

Crystal…this is no time for Haters. Do you honestly think John McCain is really concerned about women? This guy entered his wife in a wet T-shirt contest at a biker rally.

To all of the Women: Before throwing your vote to McCain, please visit Naral at prochoice.com to see a comparison of the candidates platforms and how they have voted. Benefits that you take for granted have been voted against by McCain.
If not for yourself, then for our daughters!

Wherever she goes there's drama. The Democratic Convention won't be any different. I hate her.

Amen and ditto. This dem is either voting for Hillary or McCain. NOBAMA!!! NOT EVER!!!

She had more votes. She was robbed.

Knock yourself out Crystal. The Repubs would love to have ya. And enjoy your off shore drilling; your stacked Court primed to overturn Roe v. Wade; your continued war in Iraq, and possibly in Iran; and all the other things you seem to hold dear as a Hillary "supporter."
You PUMA's make me sick.

Crystal - get a life. Hillary is now supporting Barack, not McCain so what point are you proving; you were a McCain supporter all along? Some so-called Hillary supporters are disgracing her name in the "name of" suport. Give it a break. If you look at McCain's policies you can see he doesn't support you as a woman, but your feelings are hurt so you're taking your bat and ball and going to over to the other team! Please!!!

I wonder if they will address the upcoming march by Hillary supporters to protest Sen. Obama's acceptance of the nomination? I'm personnally disappointed with the radical wing of the Clinton camp. If there was such an out cry for Sen. Clinton, she would have won. Cheating? Sen. Clinton cheated in Michigan. You don't see the rest of us crying over that. Voting for mcCain or not voting at all won't get you the health care, jobs, tax relief, ending of the war, honesty in government or a uniter. It sounds like a Hillary speech doesn't it. Hillary and Obama essentially were saying the same thing all this time. A vote against Obama is a vote against Sen. Clinton. No vote is the same. Common sense tells us all to vote for the need, not the person. we all better wake up and quick or we'll have 4 more years of bush.

You're a moron. The differences between Hillary and Obama are so small. And going to shift from that to McLame?

Opinionated Americans. Thats's the world thinks and that's what your making true.

It is apparent the campaign went on too long and hurt feelings haven't had time to heal. The concern the DNC had long before it was over.

However, if Clinton has her name entered into contention, not only would she ruin her name, but it would make so many Democrats angry it would strengthen Obama's support. Those are points that he would not want because they would be for the wrong reason.

If her adamant (older female) supporters want to give her credit for having a good last half campaign and acknowledge the votes she garnered, that would be respectful and earned. But it can't be done in a way that dominates the convention. That would be very detrimental to the party. Tuesday night is her night. Let the light shine on her and then move on.

Crystal,
your comment show you don't really have a brain, you vote Clinton if she replaces Obama so you're still bitter after all this time, do you think the people who support Obama would automatically switch to Clinton in less than 2 months and you hope to beat McCain with this startegy.
If not you're voting McCain,do you really know where McCain stands on policies that concern you as a woman,as a democrat?

Listen, I supported Clinton throughout the entire primary. She lost fair and square. She agreed to all the rules that the DNC set out, she even signed her name on it. I don't understand you PUMA or other supporters who refuse to support Obama. There policies are strikingly similiar. And yet you chose to support a man who neither believes in what we democrats do, and he attacks and mocks our leaders ideas. And even worse you say you may not even vote. I'm sorry but this is childish and pathetic.
Barack the Vote 08′
