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.

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!!

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.

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.

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 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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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..

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...

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.

By: Joyce in Florida

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.
