This amazes me! Obama is the one who is destroying the party and she's the one who gets blamed unbelievable! I cannot stand this man and I hope that by placing her name up for nomination the superdelegates wake up and realize that she is the best choice for this country. Obama is nothing but drama and talk. He is the problem, not Hillary.

As an Obama supporter, does Hillary really believe that if she usurped the nomination from Obama that I would vote for her now or ever should she decide to run in 2012. HA! She has another thing coming. If Obama loses, I will blame it on her and her sleazy husband and I will become an Independent and write in Obama's name.

Obama/Biden '08.

MOST OF THESE COMMENTS ARE IN FAVOR OF HILLARY, IAM OBAMA SUPPORTER, THAT WHY MY COMMENTS DISAPPEARED, BUT THIS IS NOT THE LAST OF ME . I'M WRITING AND DOCUMENTING AS I GO A HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE WITTEN FOR ANSWERS, JUST AS I SAID RECENTLY, YOU ARE TRYING TO CONTROL, MONITOR, AND MANIPULATE THIS ELECTION, EVIDENTLY CNN ARE SUPPOTERS OF HILLAY CLINTON. I'M PERSONALLY SENDING A LETTER TO THE MAIN OFFICE IN GEORGIA, THE QUESTIONS I HAVE ASKED ON DIFFERNT OCCASIONS HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. THIS TOTALLY UNEXCEPTABLE, . ( now delete this )

Obama could not clinch the nonination, the way I understand it is that it is supposed to go to the convention. Go Hillary, 18 million strong.

Clintons are ugly, ugly amoral people.They are showing it at the every step!!

Thoses Clintons and people they getherd around hhemsselves are just ugly, amoral, monsters !!!!! Who can belive that they are doing this since they are woried for party or outcome of elections!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All what is their interest is to ruin chances and than say " I told you". How about rest of supporters of democratic party TO DEMAND FROM PARTY TO STOP CLINTONS AND THEIR MALICIOUS INTENTIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't we hear enough about them and their maincampainn strategiesMark Penn and Bill and all their aproach – amoral and shamefull !!!!!!!!!!!!wHO STILL BELIVES cLINTONS!!!!!!!!!!! bILL HAVE LIED WHOLE NATION.!!!!!!!!!!!aND STILL HAS BALLS TO APEAR ON PLITICAL SCENE AND BE MISERABLE THAT IS NOT TREATED WITH MORE RESPECT.WITH OUT UNDERSTANDING THAT RESPECT IS SOMETHING ONE HAS TO GAIN. They are just ugly.

Doesn't anyone commenting here know any history. Is this the state of American education. It is normal an expected that candidates names will be put in nomination for a roll call vote. The idea that she wouldnb't wasd the anomally and reflected the Obma' camps lack of perspective/

Most of the anti Obama comments you read in these blogs aren't either Democrats or Independents but Rush Limbaugh Republicans doing what their party does best is cover up the facts and the issues with slander and fear.

If Americans buy McCain then it will be incumbent on all other countries to start divesting their ties to the U.S. and let the country go where the voters have decided to take it.

I guess we will see at the convention what will happen. I don't trust her and I don't believe her. However, I would hope she isn't stupid enough to believe she would have the public's support behind her if she causes any problems. If she's wise, she will request everyone throw their support behind Obama when it's time for her to speak.

Oh, it's always "Hillary cannot be trusted"… and similar crap. In reality, it's Obama who cannot be trusted. You way left wingers better watch yourselves before you fall over sideways! Clinton's career will 'not be over' as you nuts put it. In fact, I'd bet Obama will fall on his face long before Clinton ever will. She will be around for a long time. Obama? Well, it's just another question in a long list of questions about him.

Very very sad……all the pathetic Hillary' supporters are doing this move to take her "alive" and help her in 2012…..why now the Clinton has to help Obama if she knows that she will be honored to run in only 4 years??? and thousend young solgers will die in Iraq for her "nice" face. Shamed on you Clinton and her supporters!

Texas Trail Dog, you are an idiot. Hilliary did not win and she is just a sore loser. If you can trust McCain, then you can trust Obama. What's wrong, are you afraid that a black man may be the best president of all??

This is not the way to get Sen. Clinton supporters to vote Obama.

We accept she lost and we just don't feel like voting for him.

Can't trust someone who reminds me of Bush. Same inexperience, same attitude, thinks is knows it all.

Janet, no,. Hilliary is not and should not be the nominee. Obama won and he should not be saddled with this dame. Geez people wake up. If you can trust McCain, you can trust Obama.

Blast it all Hillary. Please go away. We need to win this one and you and those crazy PUMAS are not helping. I don't believe that you did not have anything to do with this. You lost. You may have gotten 18 million votes, but there are more than 18 million people in this country, so SOME OF THEM VOTED FOR OBAMA.

PLEASE HAVE A OPEN MINE AND HEART BUT NOT TO THE POINT WERE YOUR BRAINS FALL OUT AND YOUR HEART BECOMES ALL WASTED AND RUNNED OUT, PLEASE VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC NONMONEE ARE SORRY TO SAY YOU WILL SUFFER FOR 8 LONG YEARS.
SHERRI

Obama can win without Hillary. Just like he beat Hillary and Bill, the so-called old pros, the so-call inevitables, he can be John McCain. He now has EXPERIENCE beating OLD Pros.

I am so shocked and disgusted by all of this PUMA crap. I believe the root of this is just racism pure and simple. For decades minorities have supported Democratic candidates over Republicans. If Obama loses because of this racist PUMA attitude I will personally encourage all minorities to move to the Republican Party. George Bush is probably the worst president in history but as far as his appointments go he puts the party that is supposed to be the party of all people to shame. The first and second minority Secretariesof state . What's up Democrats? There are white Democrats that are no better than the KKK! Minorities should not support a party that when it comes down to it really sees them as subhumans. I remember seeing this very rich white woman being interviewed on CNN talking about how she did not trust Obama and that he was elitist. This coming from someone who went out and made hundreds of millions of dolloars a quickly as she could while he wroked in the community for 20 grand. I bet if you went into her corporate offices the only black or brown faces are cleaning toilet bowls. After decades of a sneaky slave master mentality this is becoming the last straw for me.

Meglomaniacs and narcisissts [sp?] Whatever! Wonder if the shoe were on the other foot. If Hillary won fair and square which she did not, wonder if she'd like this happening to her. How you treat others speaks more to your own character than the person you are speaking about. I was Hillary fan until the Jesse Jackson thing, and never ever would have believed all the negative things written about them. Vince Foster killing himself and Hillary sending her aide to retrieve documents the night of the incident. Just don't trust them and just because my husband is a surgeon doesn't qualify me to perform surgery. All the hard work she has done for civil rights, etc., now pale in this shameless act of not wanting to take her azz home. Her supporters are pathetic and we shall see who needs who when this is all said and done. Hillary supporters have lusted for and tasted power for years only to have Obama beat her fair and square, yet she can't let go. I wouldn't want a woman in the white house who has whined and side stepped her way in. To me shows a lack of integrity on their part. For us Obama supporters Hillary is a necessary evil; but when you try to manipulate something, it NEVER TURNS OUT THE WAY YOU PLAN; THINGS COME IN TO PLAY YOU NEVER IMAGINED SO MARK MY WORDS AND REMEMBER ME WHEN THIS BLOWS UP IN HILLARY AND BILL'S FACE. They wll be sadder than Tommy Mottola and Mariah Carey when MC was up for 12 yet got NOTHING. Shameless is what this is. I have every belief that Obama will win because he's the right person at the right time. We need clear, transparent authentic leadership now, not someone preseving their legacy. To think I supported these people at one time. So, the bad things people have written about them ARE true. It's not about the American people; it's all about the Clinton egos and those who refuse to acknowledge that their time had come and gone and THEY LOST!

Now I know why women are called cry babies. If you cannot take a lose like a man, then don't go into a race.
Whinners

PUMA's to paraphrase Joan Crawford's final line in the movie The Women, "there is a name for you ladies, but it is not used in polite society, outside of a kennel".

Obama guys. Why Obama hasnt got a 15 points in the polls yet like the analysis have said? It seems to me he cant get over the 50 percent yet in the polls. Question is he electable?

THIS IS CLINTON'S WAY OF ENDORSING MCCAIN SO SHE CAN RUN AGAIN IN 2012. Sad but true. Sour grapes + unbelievable power = the new clinton strategy.

Hillary Clinton suporters crack me up with the constant threat that we need to suck up to them for support. If Obama loses to McCain, Hillary chances of winning in 2012 will be zero. For as many people who like Hillary, there are more who do not.

The pledged delegates Clinton and Edwards won in the primaries are required by law and DNC rules to place their votes for their designated candidate in the first round of votes at the convention.

To refuse Clinton delegates the opportunity to place their votes for Clinton would have broken the very rules that also gave Obama the nomination when a majority of the super delegates pledged their support to Obama.

HRC had better figure out really quick that those puma and "no deal" idiots are republicans trying to kill two birds with one stone. I saw their sad excuse for spokespeople on MSNBC. They are idiots. HRC should denounce them immediately and bar them from the convention because those republicans only intend to stir trouble. Wise up HRC. These slimeballs do not support you nor the democratic party.

TO ALL SINGLE MOMS IF THE DEMACRAT WIN THERE WILL BE MORE JOBS AND BETTER PAY FOR YOUR XXX, WHICH WILL ENABLE YOUR XXX TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. WHICH MEANS LESS SUFFERING FOR 8 LONG YEARS.

John, you are a real American. Observer, you are half mind, eyes, ears, and brain. Curtis, if Obama really want to unify the Party, he sould accept Michigan and Florida revote, he blocked it. Sherry, Atlanta, I understand you, I switched party to Independent because DNC supported disqualified candidate, I will vote for McCain, I gave up lifelong Democrats. Cynthia, You think what the best for the Democrat Party, but I am thinking what is the best for our Country.
Henrie Ware, you are lower than fungus. Republican for Obama, liar, liar, liar, your judgement is groundless like Obama's. Ardnuas, Obama already destroyed his party by his supporters like you who don't know how to respect real qualified politicians. Read Obama supporter's comments, none of them know the truth. Anyway, what is Obama supporter's problem with Hillary supporter's justice? Why they are afraid if Obama won fairly at Primary Election? They knew Primary Election wasn't fair, Real Obama's face shows more and more, that's why they don't want Hillary's supporters right. We should play the fair game through the Convention.

Why is Hillary and her supporters still counting 18 Million? How many of the 18 Million where part of Operation Chaos? The latest polls suggest that Hillary does not have the support of 18 Million. In elections, no matter how close, the loser doesnt own voters. So I dont get this 18 million thing. Bill and Hillary are up to no good. The winner is entitled to the prize and the loser, no matter how close is in no position to bargain.

YOUR FOOLS THE MATH BACK IN THE MONTHS HILLARY WAS RUNNING WAS IN HER FAVOR, AND OBAMA STOPPED THE VOTES OF 2 STATES BECAUSE HE WAS BUYING TIME AND THE MEDIA SHE DID WIN YOU DOPES OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE SORRY BUT HE DID A DIRTY THING AND MCCAIN WILL WIN

Hillary 2012

Riiiight….Hillary wanted to prevent discord at the convention…so she wants to still be a nominee.

Don't get me wrong…she has every right because Obama is the PRESUMPTIVE nominee. The committee should choose between the two.

But the real tragedy is that the Dems and Republicans are both sacrificing our liberty and freedoms. So Vote for Barr!!

Libertarian '08!!

Barack Obama thumbed his nose at Hillary Clinton and those of us who support her and now he is trying to play nice? It makes me even angrier than I was before.

I believe he is responsible for the disenfranchisement of voters. I believe he demonstrated sexist actions during the primaries – he also never spoke out against the media misogyny that took place. I think he was arrogant in thinking he was going to succeed in his self-serving goals without us… Now he knows he needs us to win.

There may be a portion of Hillary supporters who will vote for Obama, but I will bet that the majority will get into the polling booths and write-in Hillary Clinton's name or vote for John McCain.

There was a time that if Obama had picked Hillary as his VP runningmate, I and others like me could have had some healing from the disgraceful things that took place during the primaries. But now, I cannot let go of all he and his camp have done – playing the race card on Bill Clinton who does not have a racist bone in his body and who was entirely undeserving of that! And, thinking it was okay not to allow Florida and Michigan to have a Democratic revote and allowing the sexism without ever speaking up against it – I think he even participated in it. I think he is also responsible for allowing 30 people sitting around a table in a room to substitute the votes of legitimate voters with their own. His campaign said… oh, the Hillary supporters will come around… blah, blah, blah… It is NOT happening as he wished and I don't think it will. I think that he, the DNC, the RBC, Donna Brazile (a deceptive entity, in my opinion — and, a fake), Dean, Pelosi, et al… DESERVE to lose this election.

As a lifelong Democrat, I would like to see a loss for us in this election. I think we deserve to lose in November because of the anti-democracy that has been rampant throughout this election process thus far.

What it amounts to, is Hillary and her rabid cultists holding the Democratic Party and future President Obama hostage to her self-serving interests. Thanks to the attitude and behavior of Hellary and her loyalists, I will find it nearly impossible to ever again consider voting a woman into the Presidency, thanks to the sore-loser mentality and overly emotional outbursts of her and her minions. By the way, she only got 17.4 million votes, that doesn't round up to 18 million, the amount that more closely represents the amount of Obama votes.

If Hillary support of Obama was genuine all this would not be happening.

Cathy: Where have you been? Obama needed the Clinton's that why he made calls to them and wanted them to endorse him plus campaign for him. Obama craves for attention that's why he chose so many speaker's at the convention. He already acts like he is the president. I agree with the book about him that was just published and the PUMA. They know exactly what they see in him that this generation doesn't. If they would stop drinking and start thinking they would be better off. This convention is going to be a mess like no democratic convention has ever been and Obama made this mess. Obama would never be able to run this country like McCain unless he had a VP that is well experienced and knows foreign policy. If he doesn' choose Hillary I hope the majority of her supporter;s then vote for McCain or write her name in.

She Who must be obeyed.

Keeeeryst. Going to have to dedicate from now until the end of the convention in total devotion to prayer…for Obama's safety. Throwing a bone to the Clinton's is like offering fresh meat to a stock raving, starving mad dog.

i will never vote for a clinton again as long as i live. this woman pushed her agenda long after she knew she couldn't win. not only that but then she had the balls to ask Obama to help her raise $20,000,000.00 to pay off her bills which was half out of her own pocket. she not only has done both of those things she also split the party in 1/3 vs 2/3. as far as i can see it has to be all about the clintons well i got a news flash it's all about the American people. and thats why i will never vote for a clinton again.

Most loyal supportors should be able to pay her debts. Not make confusion.

i will never vote for a clinton again as long as i live. this woman pushed her agenda long after she knew she couldn't win. not only that but then she had the balls to ask Obama to help her raise $20,000,000.00 to pay off her bills which was half out of her own pocket. she not only has done both of those things she also split the party in 1/3 vs 2/3. as far as i can see it has to be all about the clintons well i got a news flash it's all about the American people. and thats why i will never vote for a clinton again.

What I want to see is the after the voting of the delegates that instead of Obama becoming the nominee, that the delegates vote for Hillary Clinton and she becomes the nominee. To on and beat McCain in November. Obama has NO chance of beating McCain in November.

I am on of those that will either write Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot, or I will vote for McCain before I would ever vote for Obama. The only way that Obama would get my vote is if Hillary Clinton put him on the ticket as her VP!

Clinton/Obama 2008

THOSE WHO VOTE FOR THE REPUBICANS BECAUSE HILLARY IS NOT THE PRESIDENTIAL CANIDATE WILL SUFFER FINACIALLY FOR
8 LONG YEARS WITH OVER WEAMING REGREAT. THINK ABOUT YOUR FAMILY VOTE DEMACRAT SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO SUFFER.

i don't want this. I'm just worried what others may do.
Worthy of a skilled triangulator and blackmail artist.

PEOPLE WE HAVE JUST HANDED JOHN MCCAIN THE ELECTION THANKS TO THE CRY BABIES OF THE WORLD.

This is the most funniest moment in campaign history. I knew she wasnt done, Never thought she would play Obama like this tho. Hillary is selfish and I dont believe she is going to do anything at conventionals but make herself look foolish.

GOD i miss hillary

Don't kid yourself – if Hillary wanted to shut this idea down, she would have done it weeks ago. This is all about her and nothing but her. She planted the seed for this idea when she did not graciously concede when she should have and has continued to do her best to undermine Obama's chances. So much for caring about the future of the country. She care about Hillary, period.

Guess my prayers and good thoughts were kinda on the democratic super delegate we lost yesterday and the motives of the gun man were unknown. That was horrible and upset me following this election on CNN. Let's just gather peacefully at the drama and agree to that ,if nothing else ! Heart card 's on Clinton and my ace is on Obama ! Delegates place your bets !

You Go Hillary! I am behind you all the way!!!!

J: Obama is a disgrace to the Democratic party because he has a background of being a racist, anti-american and white hating. A true American doesn't attend a racist church like he did for 20 years and then wants to be president of this country? You better get a grip. The voters that voted for him when he was campaigning are not true American's as far as I am concerned. McCain is a true American with a clean background, not a racist. Its people like you that are a ruination to this country like the rest of this generation's college student's with their drugs and booze. And Obama was a drugger himself. What a mess this country would be in if he is elected.

Sorry to disappoint so many of Hillary supporters that are wishing and looking forward to "fireworks" and any kind of real disruption at the convention. It's not going to happen. There will absolutely be a few outbursts and some sable-rattling by Hillsupporters at the convention. However, everyone is forgetting that the goal of the convention is to "UNITE" behind the nominee who won the primary, and that is Barack Obama. Believe me when I tell you, those politicians have been in this thing a long time and Hillary Clinton isn't the first candidate that has lost and wanted her name put in the nomination. The DNC has laid out the rules for puting Hillary's name in the nomination, the majority of the superdelegates aren't going to risk fruther dividing the party just to accommodate Hillary, and the most important thing of all, SENATOR OBAMA IS NO DUMMY (even Bill Clinton stated that on national t.v.), HE IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO HURT HIM! He will be the nominee. Trust me!

I think it important that Hillary and her supporters save face. This is one election for the history books. It was a honor just to be a part of it on the forums.

I'm looking forward to this convention. Lots of drama. And Yes lots of Creative Artists. I'm also happy that the artists got involved this election year. Their voices count too and they have fans. Despite Rove and Schmit's plan to take them out of play and just label them all celebrities.

No because the other idiots did it for her. LOL.

Enough enough enough! The party is big enough to share. Why must it always be about blaming? Come together…

David from Ohio: I think you lost it. If Hillary's name is on the ballot even if he is the nominee that gives people the right to vote for her in the general election. And yes, she earned it getting cheated on the MI and FL delegates and also the superdelegates. Also, Edwards knew he couldn't win and should never have campaigned for the presidency. I think he did that so that Hillary would lose because he and the DNC didn't want Hillary to be president. Well, maybe so but who said that Obama would win the general election. He could lose and McCain win. No one knows what the outcome will be. Obama is having so many people speaking at the convention he must have a fear of losing. McCain doesn't need that many at his convention.

bunch of ignorant people keep up the nastiness against Hillary you will be the ones to cost your cult leader the election.

I think its funny that when asked, I have yet to meet an Obama supporter that can name even three major accomplishments of his Senatorial career, and most can not name three things that he stands for. For that matter, I haven't met a Hillary supporter who can either.

Typical Obama supporter response… ummm… he's a great speaker.
Typical Clinton supporter response… ummm… she's a strong woman.

So am I, vote me for President, if that's all it takes.

McCain does not equal four more years of Bush. Look at the facts people before you make misinformed rants. McCain is the one looking out for us.

who said SHE did? its her PUMA rednecks from kentucky and W. Virginia

Way to go divide and conquer. Love this team spirit.

YOU BAMA DOGS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO BLAME THE CLINTONS WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. GET OVER YOURSELVES. WE 18 MILLION VOTERS ARE TO BLAME. SO BRING IT ON.

Roosevelt was "SHORT" delegates and won ! Grab your Greek peace drama mask !

Obama-Clinton 08

HILLARY DID PUSH FOR NAME TO BE PLACED IN NOMINATION, THAT'S JUST THE WAY SHE ROLLS !

Even with this McCain is such a loser but they continue to let him stumble around in a mindless daze, his own campaign is keeping him from the media (such a joke). Hilliary's so called supporters are already on board don't believe the media hype. Even if there were a conflict we have to remind ourselves that there are two side to a coin.

Just as she may have some support, don't loose sight of the number of people and Sen. Obama's true movement contains. Her political career would be over smear and turned off voters would destroy her Bill's side job overseas influence brokering is bad enough, she's smarter than that…

Do you think we have elevated language going on in all this in some fun and jest between Clinton and Obama ? Catharsis ? Look that up as it relates to Greek drama. In the Aristotelean tradition,serves the purpose of purging the soul of the fear and pity which most of us carry around,Aristotle called this a catharsis. Thespis in the giant out door theatre of which was the hellenistic period. Prefer the comedies and Peace 421 BC ! Now enter Obama's reply today, Peace In The Kingdom ? You guys that's a musical parable about shalom and look it up ! You'll also see under the musical written,it's a jungle out there ! Us or them,more ! more ! more ! Isaiah 11:6-9. Look ,Roosevelt went to the convention and was shot delegates and won. Tell me who in America has ever heard tell of getting half credit for a vote. One way or another we'll peace out together and winner take all ! So,what will McCain be ? The Wiz of Oz ? Hee !

I hope this really is a collaborative effort to strengthen support for Obama. I'd have voted for Clinton had she won the most delegates in the primary and been the Dem nominee, but seeing how she and her supporters have acted in the past few months makes me worried that she's got plans for a bunch of backroom deals to end up as the nominee.

I hope I'm wrong because if that happens, I think McCain wins in November and our country will go further down the tubes. If Sen. Clinton does what's best for the country and gives her unqualified support to Sen. Obama, then we can get to work on the recovery from the disastrous Bush/Cheney administration.

This is absurd !!! I've said all along the Clinton camp can't & should not be trusted !!!They have fractured the party worse than any Repub. could . I won't be surprised if she doesn't register Repub. next year. I hope New Yorkers send her packing as well in the next senate race.
I find it amusing that these "18 mill. backers " "love" her so much but won't pay off her debt. The party needs to put her on the shelf where she belongs. I've never seen a more decietful , self serving politician in my 59 yrs! Oh , I forgot about swingin' Bill !

Curtis: Why should she end her campaign. She got cheated out of delegates along with superdelegates and this is the best news ever. I agree with PUMA, good for them. If they didn't agree to put her name on the ballot all her voters could have written her name in during the election and that would eliminate thousands of votes for Obama. That's the good news, maybe not for you but for me and her voters. This was a dog eat dog campaign and and if I was Hillary I would not have endorsed him or supported him. If she didn't do that maybe some of the Governor's and Mayor's that endorsed her would not have endorsed Obama. And many of her voter's would vote McCain. I am not voting for Obama and hope McCain wins the election.

I wish Hillary was the nominee. Trying to get past all that I know and frainkly disslike about Obama.

I really wish all you Obama supporters would just SHUT UP already with bashing Hillary. Whether you wish to believe it or not there 18 million people who did not support Obama and still there are millions not willing to support him. Obama nor his advisors are not stupid. If they want to get some of the Clinton supporters this is the exact thing that MUST happen, You are all so quick to run your little fingers on the keyboard and call her terrible names and place blame for what? She ran for POTUS, got millions of votes, how many of you couch potoatoes have ever come close to anything like this. Give her the respect she deserves and quit playing armchair politicians!!

I really hate that her name is going to be placed in nomination…she lost and thats that…I don't trust them any further than I see them…the clintons and their clan…we know who has won so what is the point…they are going to get behind Obama or they are not…plain and simple…all the rest is b/s…..

I am a democrat and I liked Bill Clinton but Hillary is disgusting. She has done nothing but divide the democratic party along with her supporters. She did not have 18 million supporter because some of those votes were from repubs and she still cannot manage to get her debt paid off. If she thinks her little prank will get her a nomination in 2012 she is dreaming. If O loses she will never be elected for president. The PUMAS seem to forget that in order for her to win she would need O's supporters. She will be trounced if she tries to run for president again she has let her ignorant PUMAS ruin her chances at being elected for anything.

For some reason I am not surprised this happened.

What is the rationale behind it?

I think something is being left unsaid.

Is the DNC worried about something? Is Obama worried about something?

Don't mean to sound like a conspiracy theorist but no politician (or political organization) ever gives the full story.

Even if she did push it was her right to do so.

Clinton didn't have to compromise. The Obama operatives are really quite cunning. Wait until it's safe to say we should count all the votes. Wait until enough delegates have dutifully signed on to back "The One."

Then avoid controversy and engage Clinton supporters by throwing them a bone.

But this is not about Clinton. It's about the DNC, Obama, Dean and the other thugs in $3,000 outfits chosen for the occasion.

I hope the Democratic Convention is a disaster. I hope Clinton supporters try to take over the podium, stage demonstrations, block streets.

Then I hope the Clinton supporters will all vote for McCain so we watch "The One" dig himself out.

Letting the camel (Clinton’s) stick its nose under the convention tent. This is where Obama will loose. The Clintons will suck all the air out of Denver. No bounce for the inexperienced one.

so clinton never pushed to have her name placed in nomination ?

give me a break ! does anyone really believe that ?

Let me just say this…….for months we have heard distain from Obamaites and their arrogance. They also have claimed all this time that we are just 'cry babies' and 'they don't need us' and 'there is nothing to this – they are just a loud minority' — 'they are not true democrats'.– and the most untrue on of all 'Obama and Clintons are very similar on issues' (by the way – until he flip-flopped on major issues, that may have been close to truth – no longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………………….Last laugh is ours idiots.

We have know all along that we are a huge factor and WITHOUT US Obama will loose – and all this kiss up will not change that he will loose! I heard a report today that no matter what Obama is the nominee ———————————Loser!

So your 'win' was short lived Obamaites…….we fighters are for what is fair and right (not Wright) will prevail and our votes in November will hand Obama a huge loss. He is NOT what America needs. But for all those egomaniacs…………….ha ha ha What a weak creep!

We are 18 million strong – still – Obama is weak and succomed to the Clinton power – she is the better politican, she is the better leader, she is what America needs. As always (look back at the debates) Obama following Clintons lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loser! Vote for America……..DO NOT VOTE FOR Obama!

Hillary Clinton is not going away. Thank God!

Spin… from everyone. That includes alot of people here.

I doubt there will ever be unity in this year's Dem Party. Hillary has made it too devisive. She and her supporters just can't get over it. She HAS to be president, dammit! Obama's camp should NEVER have allowed this. Her people will never give it up.Clinton and her suddenly racist husband will campaign only half-heartedly. The pathetic, childish Clinton backers will only prolong their temper tantrums. Imagine somebody who calls himself a Dem saying he'll be gleeful if McBush wins. Hypocrisy at its worst! I'll be booing Billary in front of TV, then I'll switch her off.

The hand-picked "novelty candidate for "08″, will see a large demonstration against his nomination, Pelosi, Reid, Dean and Daschle have "created" this fantasy candidate and the Supporters of Sen. Clinton will have their say – it is not going to be pretty, maybe Howie Dean will throw another tantrum and give en all hell!

A catharis ? Is there elevated language in jest going on in all this or simply a hypothetical reponse to a question ? Umm ? In the Aristotelean tradition,serves the purpose of purging the soul of the fear and pity which most of us carry around,Aristotle called this a catharsis. Thespis in the giant out door theatre of which was the hellenistic period viewing Greek drama. It's a comedy and Peace 421 BC ! Now let's look at Obama's response today stating,"Peace In The Kingdom." You guys that's a musical Parable. Look it up ! A musical parable about shalom. Also ,under the caption of you'll see,It's a jungle out there! Us or them,More! More! More! Isaiah 11:6-9. Or is it,"Just my imagination once again,running away with me…" They're both pretty clever ! "Follow the Yellow Brick Road !" Ha ! Go Clinton !

One can understand letting her name be put in at the convention But still be cautious because Hillary talks like she lies. And that is why very people trust her.

Bill may be the appointed 'bad guy' since he cares little of anything any ways. He says they tried to impeach me and it just rolled off. And now I'm the untouchable because they invited me to speak.

Be ready to turn-off the mikes!

Laughing all the way!

First we are not Obama fans, we are Obama supporters. You can stop pretending you are anything but a sheep who will spew out republican talking points. I know Sen. Obama is the biggest celebrity in the world. Yet, at the same time all of you mindless sheep are calling him the worlds biggest celebrity, you are saying that nobody knows enough about Obama. He is too risky because he is unknown. SO WHICH IS IT. IS HE THE WORLDS BIGGEST CELEBRITY OR IS HE TOO UNKNOWN. YOU CANT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!!

I still can not trust anything she says. I think I'll nominate Jeb Bush.

Lets be real people. HRC's name is gonna be in nomination but the supers won't suddenly lean towards someone who hasn't been campaigning since the primaries ended. Obama has also been estimated to have over 66% of HRC's supporters now in his camp. 18 million voters is now a myth, I'd be surprised if she could muster even half of that now.

Those who seem to be pushing for something to happen better get another excuse ready as to why they won't vote for Obama now. Leave the drama for the soap operas, we're out to take back the WH come Nov.

Another reality check here, do the PUMAs actually think HRC can come back at the convention and then people would magically fall in line behind her? And if you vote for McCain and by some miracle he does win then how are you so sure that HRC would be nominated next 4 years when many still blame her for fighting an unfair primary campaign?

It's not easy being green — is it, Obama? Darn! People just don't take you seriously!

If Barack Obama had lost (and remember, she had nearly half the Democratic vote), I would completely support his name to be placed into nomination. These were two historic candidacies. They are two great candidates who both deserve to be honored at the convention. It's about symbolic, stupid!

Obama's supporters would do well to follow the lead of Obama himself and take the high road. You know, the one of integrity.

It is a moot point, and It won't help Obama – nothing will!

The Obama team is simply writing the convention script. Conventions used to decide something. Now they're media events. The reality is settled. Prediction: Hillary will bask in the name in nomination hoopla and then withdraw her name for the good of the party. If she inflicts a vote on the convention, she's not serious about helping Obama, but I think she does want him to be President now that she can't be.

Hillary and her crazy outrageous supporters are a disgrace!!! She is supporting this garbage and I hope she gets booed off the stage at the convention. The DNC should disallow her from attending the convention. Divide and Conquer, that's their motto.

But it won't work. Obama will be our next President.

Obama '08/'12

If they are her followers, why doesn't she just tell them to stop? Who's leading and who's following?

Of course, the "people" wanted it so she must be up there.

Obama has caused the split. People act as if Hillary has so much power, makes me wonder why we would choose someone who doesn't!

Stop the Insanity! Yet another example of the dems self-destructing. Would the engage in such nonsense? No. Listen up Dems, take a page from the playbook of the GOP and Machiavelli, the end goal is what matters, not whether or not how you get there is "fair" and "respects" veryone's feelings. Toughen up, this is a contact sport.

Let us get this straight people, Obama was not elected he was selected and that leads to a dictatorship.

This is America for God sakes, not some Russian backward country. Votes are suppose to count and every vote should be counted.

Disenfranchising Americans, caucuses vote intimidations, all third wolrd tactics.

The Wrong has to be made Right!

A closed, private, personal vote between Obama and Clinton should be the first order of business, and may the best wo/man win!

I'm sorry Hillary. I once was one of your supporters. No more. I loved it when Bill was the president, The economy was wonderful and everyone had jobs. That was then. Now, I feel that you and Bill are trying to undermine the huge accomplishment that Obama has made by beating you fairly in the primaries. I just feel that you two are really trying to take over what should be Obamas shining moment because of jealousy and pettiness. Tone your appearance at the convention down and let someone else shine.

Lies, lies, and more lies. She claims she did not want this to happen, but she has done nothing to stop it. Why didn't Hillary just say "NO" to having her name in nomination.

I use to have a large amount of respect for Sen. Clinton. However, her actions at this stage of the process are truly sad. I for one could never again vote for Sen. Clinton.

You Obama fans crack me up!

Keep up your vitriol against Senator Clinton, and your candidate will surely lose. Go ahead…keep it up…..I personally can't wait to see Obama lose. Maybe even at the Democratic Convention!

ABC.

Time to bow out and get behind Obama

love the hillary.,

Scooter, TXBad

Totally agree with both of you. Now that there is a globalization going on, we are making sure to be the global fools of the world if Obama wins. (which he will not, because he needs Hillary in order to do so, he is soooo smart that he has not realized this yet!)

I have been a Demorcrat for forty five years and I will vote for John as I can't stand to listen to how mean these people are at bashing Clintons. All of you should be ashamed. And I know what happened in 1932.

BALONEY

and she will be nominated

hey, I have some friends who are out of work can anyone tell me how they can be a paid Obama blogger?

It's a democracy people!!!

Sherry,
Obama and Clinton did not debate 21 times one on one. Obama refused and now he refuses debates and town hall meetings with McCain. Obama reads what is written for him and every time he doesn't he loses points in the polls. Wake up he is a script and he is trying to get elected without the people hearing Obama himself. His campaign knows he does not have a clue what he is doing.

Just curious how many of the below commenters got paid by Obama for America or whether they are just naturally idiots.

No, unscrupulous caucus tactics are a disgrace…Clinton is entitled through the rules to do so…It seems Obama supporters do not like to follow election rules and this is why many of us will not vote for him.

I can't believe Obama caved into the narcissistic Clintons.. It's bad enough HRC and her rutting pig of a husband both get primetime speeches. This is supposed to be Obama's convention, but watch your back, O-Man, here come the despicable Clintons ….. again.

hillary go home and stay out of this,, you lost fari and aquare,,,, remember,, your bill was "kicked " out because of,, ummmmm ,, so get over yourself,,,, and your fake smiles,,,

If this was Obama's idea, for once he made a good choice. She's got
18 million votes in her pocket and he wants them.What better
way to get them? He wants to look like the good guy, but sadly I
still won't vote for him. I am still a democrat, but will vote for McCain
unless Clinton is VP.

Hopefully the delegates and superdelegates will come to their senses and abandon the racist, empty suit Hussein Nobama.

The man has nothing to offer the country but cliches. Proven fact!

Bloomberg/Clinton '08!

If this was Obama's idea, for once he amde a good choice. She's got
18 million votes in her pocket and he wants them.What better
way to get them? He wants to look like the good guy, but sadly I
still won't vote for him. I am still a democrat, but will vote for McCain
unless Clinton is VP.

Get ready for fireworks at the convention! (and they won't be to celebrate Obama's nomination)

The Clintons is all about themselves. They're so afraid they want be in
the limelight- her and her supports are sick people.

I admire Hillary's integrity for rejecting Penn's advice on smearing Obama. Also gracious of Hillary to campaign for Obama. Why doesn't she publically oppose her die-hard supporters who want to sabotage Obama? I'll support Hillary in the future if her support for Obama proves to be genuine.

I JUST CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE OBAMA PEOPLE CAN BE SO STUPID. HE HAS NOT WON THE NOMINATION, YET. PEROID. IF HE IS TO BE THE NOMINEE IT WILL BE AFTER THE ROLL CALL OF THE DELAGATES.

The Clinton's are pathetic HRC and BC are out of their league, but can definitely bring shame to the White House, this their are good at. They have proven that.

Obama/Sebelius 08

No, it's not anyone's game again. Hillary lost, get over it. If anyone thinks that Hillary would somehow be nominated and have the support of more than the Hillnuts, they're delusional.

Everyone, including CNN should give a little more attention to Bob Barr
There are more than two choices…

J,

The DNC, Obama and his campaign are a disgrace to Democracy.

When is the democratic party going to stop giving in to the Clinton's perceived "monarchy"? I used to feel respect & admiration for Hillary. No more! She is even having her video introduction filmed by the people who made Bill's intro for his nomination? When will it stop? Will she ever make a gracious exit or will she just keep pushing until no one is willing to listen to her?

conspiracy theories abound! If Hillary is as deceptive and manipulative as people say, she is THE ONLY choice for president!
History has shwn our most effective leader shared those qualities.

All you Obama fans who are putting Senator Clinton and her supporters down about her name being place into nomination at the convention should get a grip! You should investigate what the convention is all about. This is nothing new. It is however the first time in sixteen years that it has been done but it is nothing unusual. If we can believe what the media is saying, it was Senator Obama who urged that her name be placed for nomination so quit blaming Clinton.

Of course the problem really is that Obama and his fans want the convention to be all about Obama, all the time , that is what this is all about. The media continues to do it's part by still making everything the Clinton's say or do negative. You Obama fans don't help the situation.

For all you Obama fans, please understand that not everyone thinks Obama is the one. Those people are not racist, hateful, sore losers or any of the names that are being thrown around. And, not all of them are white. Some people just don't think he was the best choice at this time. That is one of the greatest things about America, we don't have to vote lock step we have the right to decide who we think is the best person to run the country.

the gop. has been saying all along that the dems. will find a way to lose, and the clintons will make it happen unless someone stops this nonsense now! hillary will not let this go, she will make sure that her supporters[stupid as they are] show up at the convention ready to nominate her with the help of some super- del. and pledged del. i heard a clinton supporter on fox today verify this. let the anti-obama people beware, there are thousands of obama supporters out here who do not do polls, but will be at the convention. we will back obama all the way, and if we are to win in nov., they better do the same!

You all need to get a group. I am a big Hillary supporter havent decided if I am voting for Obama, but doesnt mean that I am voting for McCain they arent the only two running. What will probablyhappen like in past conventions they will issue a vote, but before the vote is cast Hillary will release her delegates end of story.

Obama isn't looking too much in control now? What's happened to his backbone?

This will be the DNC's LAST change to win the Presidency.

Obama will never be elected Presdient of the US under any circumstances.

Nobama '08; Nobama EVER.

Oh Hillary… have your fun night out and tell your stupid party poopers to vote Obama!

If Obama wins this issue will be forgotten. But if Obama loses then in four years the Obama supporters will destroy any possibility of a Clinton presidency. What's good for the goose is definitely good for the gander and those Clinton supporters who have already betrayed feminism in voting for an anti-abortion, anti-civil liberties, anti-women's candidate, will get one heck of a payback in 2012. Depend on it!

Won't believe Hillary had nothing to do with this until I hear the audio or see the video proving this was Barack's idea.

Would Be Funny if Half the super delegates and delegates changed there minds since they have a right to do that till they Vote! and Obama Loose and the Obamabots cry Like a Bunch of Lost children! either way Obama will Loose in November so I can wait till then!

Clinton needs to do the right thing and insist that her delegates vote for Obama even if her name is on nomination. If Clinton plans on running for President in 2016 (after Obama '08 and '12) Clinton needs to support Obama 110%. Democrats need each other…so we can get this country back on track.

Remember…Obama needs the Clinton supports and Clinton needs the Obama supporters.

Enough already. It's perfectly legitimate for Clinton to be in the roll call vote — it's how the convention usually goes. Obama will win the roll call vote, and it'll be over.

For all you PUMAs/disgruntled Hillary supporters — do whatever you like. You are irrelevant. Support who you like — that's your right as an American. Just stop boring the rest of us to tears with your juvenile whining. Own your choice, and go away. No lectures about how Obama split the party, or is to uppity, or is an empty suit — that's all baloney, and you know it. If you don't, then you're not smart enough to understand reality. Either way — go away.

Every single time I see or hear Hillary Clinton, I fell like a snake
just crawled across my foot.

The 'Obamabots' do not have to find a way to 'put the blame on Hilary' – the blame is squarely on her shoulders. There is not other word but 'BULL' – she is still grasping at straws and will do anything to try and get what she considers rightfully hers – she is still in shock and denial that it did not happen.

So much for 'change'…I just can't believe how Barack is giving in to Hillary & Bill!!!! They both have prime time speaker times at the convention, now her name is going to be placed in nomination??? What is going on? I always had this feeling when she didn't release her delegates something was up, she cannot be trusted. Hey, she lost. I am very, very upset. Denver is going to be a horror story.

Should anyone EVER trust what comes out of the mouths of BILLARY Clinton?

The answer is a BIG FAT NO! OsiSpeaks.com

Ifor one don't want oboma. I THINK PEOPLE BETTER WATCH WHAT THEY ARE DOING. BECAUSE WE WILL BE IN A MESS. THEY BETTER PUT HILARY IN . AND IT IS NOT THAT I AM A WOMEN. I WOULD SAY IT I9F I WAS A MAN.

If I were Bill or Hillary, I would have people talking to a bunch of Obama delegates who have been known to me for some time, finding out what it is exactly that they really want and how I can help them get it, and reminding them that they have:

NO OBLIGATION WHATEVER

to cast their vote for any particular candidate.

It's anyone's game again, folks.

.

I have lost all respect and admiration for the Clintons. Both continue to disrespect the Democratic nominee and usurp his nomination and his victory.

While Obama continues to do everything he can to unite the Party, the Clintons are doing everything they can to divide Democrats, thus, readying for 2012. I will not support Hillary on any ticket.

How very sad for her and us, Democrats.

Obama / Sebelius '08

No way, not even with a court order would I ever believe Hillary Clinton never pushed for convention compromise. Clintons Politics Rule #1 is "Take No Prisoners". Their style is knee in the groin politics.

Forget the convention and November and the inaugural. The real weeping begins after a few years of President Obama. What a joke. We are a country of morons for letting this guy get this far. So enjoy the Obamagasm for as long as it lasts. Our country needs a leader and this guy is a sham.

She is truely unbelievable.

Wow – it's so sad that the Clintons still won't let go. Of course the Clintons are pushing for this – anyone who thinks differently is pretty naive. However, It behooves the Obama campaign to make it took like she's being gracious lest they be accused of being unfair.

Well, as long as Obama ends up the official nominee, I'll endure the pain of sitting through a couple more nights of "Clinton glory" – it's their last time so let's let them have it. Then it's on to the White House!

Someone really needs to tell that darn woman that she LOST. As a woman , I just want to say that she is a poor excuse for a human being. I am so tired of her and her " supporters". Some supporters, why can't they take that same energy and PAY OFF HER DEBT. I hope that the people of NY give her a taste of what's to come in 2012 and vote her out of office.

riigghhhttt. She claims she wants to be the first woman who is nominated at a major party campaign. Surprise! Or expose the lie, at it were. Your earlier post:

If this happens, Clinton will not be the first woman to have her name placed in nomination for president at a major party convention. Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith was placed in nomination at the 1964 Republican convention, and New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm was placed in nomination at the 1972 Democratic convention.

Pelosi is who has ruined the democratic party–If McCain pulls a VP such as Rice Or Powell it's all over for Obama if he doesnt put Clinton on the ticket. Pelosi will get her political pay back.

Conspiracy theory!!!!
You don't have to take her word for it, and you don't have to like her.

The Clintons may be ambitious (so is BARACK) but they are not stupid (NEITHER IS OBAMA).
Nor are they so powerful that they can silence millions of people with a wave of a wand.

No superdelegate should or Will change their pledged vote during the primary (except Clinton), so Obama will win the nomination handily.

If you guys want to worry and sweat about it, knock yourselves out.

If this works for the HRC supporters, do u PEOPLE REALLY THINK THAT PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR HRC IN 2012! OR ANY OTHER TIME PERIOD!!!!!!!

By speaking at the convention HRC and billthink they are setting up her run for 2012, but what you are really doing is ending your political life.!!!!!!

SURE Billary had no part in pushing her name for nomination…and G Bush will go down in history as the greatest US President ever! What a witch…if she was trully behind the Party she'd denounce all this crap an really really get behind Obama. Don't hold your breath waiting on that though.

I guess we conveniently forgot the little video of her talking to supporters about such a thing.

Being an Obama supported I was sort of apprehensive to this whole idea, but in truth, she did somehting historical and deserves the recognition. Hopefully it stays within reason though

REMEMBER THE MOVIE WHAT ABOUT BOB. SHE'S LIKE BOB, SHE'LL NEVER GO AWAY.

Hillary Clinton's name will symbolically be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention, but then she will quickly turn her delegates over to Barack Obama and cast her superdelegate vote for him.

Read people…………symbolic not actual………..MSM's are making false fodder out of this. HYPE HYPE HYPE

Obama supporters and those attending the convention…do not boo or hiss about this….be dignified, simply because we ARE very dignified supporters..lets prove it.

Obama..The Peoples President 08/12

Pumas can only be racists, sneaky republicans, or man haters. There is no other logical explanation for their behavior.

Here we go again. Riling the Clinton supporters up again, then they'll fail, then the anger will return. Bad move. Hopefully by November they'll have moved past their anger and will vote for Obama.

It makes me laugh to see comments by holier than thou Obama supporters accusing Clinton of getting her supporters angry. She didn't make us angry, we think for ourselves, unlike them. Obama's campaign was negative, divisive and devious. He had his disciples do his dirty work so he would look clean. Clinton supporters are angry with Pelosi, Dean & the DNC for orchestrating his win. He is inexperienced and mired in crooked connections. He won't win because the Republicans will publicly hammer away at his past as soon as the convention is over and Clinton is out of the picture as she only suspended not ended her campaign.

She didn't have a choice but to concede. The DNC controlled what happened and crowned Mr. Obama the nominee. What a shame and a sham it all is. It would serve Obama, Pelosi, Dean and all of the other manipulative, jealous, spiteful people involved if Clinton gets those delegates and keeps them herself. We're all sick of this insipid Obama lovefest. He has shown NO SUBSTANCE at all! I want the man to debate without script. I want him to talk without a pre-written speech. Obama can't and won't do it. Do you ridiculous followers ever even wonder about that?

Oh, she never "pushed" for it…how 'bout that footage of her talking to supporters in front of some building that looked like a small biz or house, and she spouted all her "catharsis" talk…lady this ain't THERAPY for your supporters, this is the Democratic Convention to give the nomination to the man who won it, not to give your pathetic, gotta-find-a-life supporters the warm fuzzies. What an appaling, pathetic maneuver on her part.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 TAKE BACK THE CENTER STAGE PRESIDENT OBAMA!!

I suppose that Obama's supporters will be mad that 18 million of their fellow democrats will have their voices heard …..

Go Hillary 08 & 2012!!!!

Obama's handlers are worried?

Good.

Obama will lose in November, and he will never be forgiven for what he has done to our party, and neither will any of the second-rate losers who enabled him.

Knoxville

This is going to be great. Now Hillary is the headline going all the way to the convention. And she is going to be the spotlight.

Now imagine if something really big comes out about Obama and sinks him.

Then we may just have President Hillary Rodham Clinton!!!

Go Hillary!!!

It is Hillary's responsbility to get her followers under control. If she continues to encourage these people, she is only helping the McCain campaign. Is this what she wants? If she really wanted to help the Democrats she would do more to get her followers to support Obama. She should reject the idea of having her name in the nomination. This is the only way to get her followers to stop all this whining.

Democrats, please just chill out. We are all on the same side. You are doing what the Cons want when you fight over this. Just try to stay calm and not let your emotions get the best of you. That goes for both sides.

Obama agrees it would be a good thing for Hillarys supporters to be heard. Let them do there thing. If they won't vote for the democrats in the election, It is obviously something more than just the issues. Its a free country. Help Barack keep it that way.

I hope the super delegates will do whats right for Obama .He won yhe primaries.If the supper delegates do not support him this late in the election then I think there will be serious problems for the party. The voters the in the party will certainly loose intrest in voting.

As an Obama supporter, I am pleased to have Hillary Clinton's name submitted in the nomination. I see that as honoring her historical position in the race for the Presidency. I don't even mind the laborious roll call vote. But once Obama has secured the nomination through this process, I urge all of Clinton's supporters to follow Hillary Clinton's lead and campaign and vote for Obama. By the way, he doesn't read a teleprompter – where did that come from? He even writes his own speeches! He is the genuine article and you have to see past the smear attacks in the media.

This very saddest thing about this is that it does not show women
in the best of lights.

It comes across as kind of whiney, nagging womanly thing to keep
beating this issue to death. If we are to be considered in the same
league as men – then we should have moved on by now and got
behind Obama.

Instead some woman have decided to revert back to behavior from
years ago and decided to whine til they get their way.

Have the other candidates acted this way? NO, they have moved on.

Its time to grow up ladies, if you want to run with the big guys – you need to act like them. Either go with the presumptive nominee or
not its your right. But I for one, am going with who won the primary.

COME ON LADIES …JOIN THE REAL DEMOCRATS AS EQUALS.

Leave the whining and other womanly antics at home, ok?

As long as she does the right thing and get up on stage with Obama and pledge her support and those of her supporters.

Let's get past the rancor and not give the Republicans any more ammo. Speaking of which, why is no one mentioning that Ron Paul will have his convention in a bigger arena in Minneapolis while the Republicans are in St. Paul?

You know change is really a horrible thing its unpredictable and scary. We should all just stay the same and hope that one day our saviour Hillary Clinton will come back in 2012 to save us. Yes let's all follow our leader very closely at the democratic convention and when she says go than we will go. After all what is 4 more years anyways time goes by fast. We can deal with 4 more years of the same.

PUMA

Looking forward to a convention that makes 1968 look like a love fest.

Why won't Hillary accept her lost and move one. If she causes Obama to lose she too will lose. Her political career is over.

The democrats cannot lose a win win situation again. But the Clintons are trying there best to lose this election.

I'm sick and tired of the Clintons and their arrogance attitudes. If Hillary supporters want to vote for McSame/Bush, let them. Then we'll just have to endure four more years of Bush. But Hillary will never be president. All little respect for her that's left will be gone.

Wow, this makes me happy — I for some reason do not care for Obama and Michelle, maybe it is because I am a Hillary supporter and just feel that she should of won the nomination. Keeping my fingers crossed that somehow Hillary wins> Is this possible???

Obama's handlers are worried? They had better be more than worried.

Obama will never be forgiven for what he has done to our party, and neither will any of the second-rate losers who enabled him.

Knoxville

Just wondering what would happen if the tables had been reversed and Obama was insisting his name be placed into the nomination at the convention!!! Can you just imagine the reaction from the Clintons and/or the media.

I will never, ever vote for anyone named Clinton again! Hillary, Bill and Chelsea need to wake up and stop living in "la la" land. The fact is regardless to the number of supporters they have, they LOST and Barack Obama won in a fair and open process. In fact, it was a process that the Clinton's know too well. Barack won by running a much better candidate. The people have spoken, Barack Obama is the presumptive nominee of the democratic party.

Obama '08

Yes she did but it's not going to work, OBama is going to be president.
HRC can forget about being president in2012, its not going to happen.

Next Hillary will insist, of course for her Puma's catharsis, that she should have an office in the Oval Office, Obama, find space elsewhere, and of course she must ride Air Force One. Obama, you take a bus. I'm so sick of her that I will not watch the convention when she's on. Thank God for remote control.
I'll remember you Hillary when you run again and you will.

I have very serious doubts that all of her 18 million supporters are in favor of this. Its a very vocal and childish minority who are causing this uproar, and the threats of disruption at the convention. The vast majority of Hillary's voters took the loss well and moved on to support Obama. Let us hope that those who are still angry will not ruin things for the rest of us. The animosity is doing nothing but making fools of the rabid few, and diminishing the Clinton legacy.

We all campaigned hard. We all worked for the candidate of our choice. Barack Obama won the nomination. We are all Democrats. We cannot afford to split this party. Please come on board to defeat John McCain.

BK, Obama and Clinton debated 21 times. How is that "chicken?"

If that's what it takes to the unite the party, fine.

But let's be clear: the Clinton supporters have only their own people to blame for Clinton's loss. It was theirs to win for her or lose for her.

Senator Obama didn't steal it. They lost it.

It's time to move on.

She didn't have to accept it ither; but she did!

What's a "covention"?

Spell check at CNN been hijacked by Pox News?

Anyone see the movie, The Manchurian Candidate. Hillary doesn't drop out of the primary election, she "suspends" her campaign in order to keep her political machine together and give hope to her followers. She pushes for her name to go into nomination, than denies she had anything to do with it. She barely campaigns for Obama while claiming she is behind him. And she says she will vote for him at the convention, but "the details" of how she will do that haven't been worked out. She makes Slick Willy look like an amateur. I would vote for a Bush third term before I would vote for her. She cannot be trusted!

I wished she would have nixed it though. I know others have left their names on in past years, but she gave her support to Obama after she conceded, and it should have just stood the way it was.

Change!!!!!!! Yepper Say's Russia.. This is the reason!
Barack Obama is the reason, of what we are doing…. Just what Barack Obama, told us to do.. Change!!!!
Russia as turned out to be as stupid, as Barack Obama.. Change without an alternative….

"no we aren't conniving, we swear"

Yeah right! This article and your anonymous "source" is such a spin job.

Yeah Right. The PUMA's are a small minority. They are misguided. To validate them is absolutely ridiculous. None of these supporters can even state properly how Hillary promoted Women's rights or how the establishment went against them. They did not. If they were such a large support base then why is Obama consisently beating McCain. They lost fair and square. You can be sore for a disastrous campaign marred by arrogance and ignorance but to blame Obama and the levelheaded democratic leaders is absurd.

Go Hillary, Go Hillary. It won't happen, but wouldn't it be funny?

Yeah, right!

I hope not!!!

Let's have a story about divisions within the GOP party. What about the ardent Ron Paul supporters? They're having their own convention in St Paul at the same time as the GOP convention. They even had to move it to a bigger venue to accomodate the expected attendees. Why don't we hear more about that? Ron Paul has refused to endorse McCain. I want to hear more about the divisions and dissatisfaction within the GOP.

Maybe the DNC and the super delegates will come to their senses and see that Clinton should be the nominee, not hollywood, fluff, teleprompter reading, chicken to debate, Obama.

Hillary got her supporters so angry that they've taken a mind of their own and now might sink not only Obama's but her own re-election bid. I'm sorry 18 million clinton supporters, but Obama has more supporters hence, Obama being the presumptive democratic nominee and winning fair and square. Its the most disgusting pouting I've ever seen, and if John McCain is elected president. ANY CLINTON, WHETHER BILL, HILLARY, CHELSEA OR ANYONE ELSE NAMED CLINTON, WILL EVER GET MY VOTE AND THEY WILL NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT, EVER AGAIN.

I love this story, it's like when we use to make my younger brother beg and cry for us to go to the city pool and then pretend we had nothing to do with it when asked.

Lol, kids gotta love em.

No matter what the media says, Clinton and Obama have shown each other respect during this convention process, understanding how important this election is. As supporters, I wish we could do the same. After the last eight years, we should recognize the need for a new direction that Clinton and Obama are mutually advocating for us.

It is a disgrace that some of Hillary's supporters are so above all that they can not accept the fact that the winner of the primaries was Barack Obama, fair and square. This is has bad has racism. Guess they are so use to paying to get their way, that they can not let go.

Hatered is awful, and we all see it for what it is, pure hate. What a nasty group of people.

CNN – do you have the courage to post the truth!!!

Today's Boston Globe article states the following:

Clinton's name will be placed in nomination
Email|Link|Comments (32) Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor August 14, 2008 12:07 PM

Hillary Clinton's name will symbolically be placed into nomination at the Democratic National Convention, but then she will quickly turn her delegates over to Barack Obama and cast her superdelegate vote for him.

The latest move to unify Democrats behind Obama and mollify Clinton's supporters was negotiated between the two camps.

Clinton and Obama just issued a joint statement: "Since June, Senators Obama and Clinton have been working together to ensure a Democratic victory this November. They are both committed to winning back the White House and to to ensuring that the voices of all 35 million people who participated in this historic primary election are respected and heard in Denver. To honor and celebrate these voices and votes, both Senator Obama's and Senator Clinton's names will be placed in nomination."

“I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion,” Obama said in the statement.

“With every voice heard and the Party strongly united, we will elect Senator Obama President of the United States and put our nation on the path to peace and prosperity once again,” Clinton said in the statement.
The role of Clinton and her supporters at the convention has been one of the most closely-watched aspects.

Clinton's hardcore supporters are already planning marches in Denver, and she is scheduled to speak on the convention's second night. The roll-call is scheduled for the third night, Wed., Aug. 27.

It has been obvious all along that the Clinton's will do everything to get the nomination. Anyone who believes they are not behind this, is just fooling themselves. Look at their history – nothing but dishonesty and greed. SHAME, SHAME ON BOTH OF THEM!!!

Why are Obama supporters so scared of having Hillary's name as the nominee?

Obama hasn't won anything yet, he's only the presumptive.

In my books, the CLINTON name is dirt. Both are now a joke for U. S. history to judge.

Allowing the nomination process to be carried out is not chaos. What is undemocratic is how the DNC and the Media shoved this Marxist candidate down our throats.

NO, of course she didn't. wink, wink. Just like she didn't use her 18 million votes as a bargaining tool over Obama's head to get him to agree to help her with her debt. She is not interested in UNITY. She is interested in HERSELF. I would not be surprised if she doesn't push the DNC to the limit at the convention until they say UNCLE and give her what she wants. HILLARY CLINTON is in it for HILLARY CLINTON not the american people.

What a great Lady!!!

Can't wait until the convention!!!

Hillary 08′

Hillary has done nothing wrong. Its time these haters stop and show some respect. Hillary should be VP.

The Clintons are trying to DESTROY the Democratic Party….. I hope the Dems WAKE UP and put a stop to it. I have lost ALL RESPECT FOR THE CLINTONS (ALL)

WHO BELIEVES THIS STORY??????????

Thieves among thieves. The Democratic Converntion is going to be one huge advertising debacle. I wish we had someone who was qualified to be President running, and a system capable of singling out such individuals.

Since when do "whiners" get their way? It is amazing, commendable and wonderful that 18 million peoples voices supported Hillary. But at least 18 million and 1 voted for Barack. Isn't that what Democracy is all about? Democracy- the root word from which "Democrat" derived.
I really think this is childish but let's do it …but I bet the whining won't stop.

Go Hillary! You were and always will be the better candidate. Obama needs Clinton's experience. Ha, ha ha, Obama. You look like a scared little boy Junior Senator that you are.

This is standard operating procedure for the convention. Now we can all get behind our Democratic nominee and take our country back !!

Hillary is behind the whole thing. She is not to be trusted and be careful if you get in her way. The Clinton's think they own the Whitehouse and people.

Don't trip over Hillary's EGO.

THIS WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND IS PATHEIC

This sounds more like division than unity. Why do we want to regress back to June?

Obama/ and somebody else who won't contradict everything that his campaign and its supporters have worked for ! 08 '

Have your pick… Sebelius/ Biden/ Bayh/ Warner/ Richardson..

everything will be fine. I love Hillary, support her, but don't think she'll do anything to jeopardize the party, nor her reputation. Obama will be President (tough I'd prefer Hillary)

HILLARY SUPPORTERS . DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH . THERE WILL NOT BE ANY SURPRISE TO CLINTON SUPPORTERS AS TO THE VP PICK. IS OR WILL BE ..IT AINT GONNA BE HILLARY !!
JUST HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLETS AND VOTES TILL NOVEMBER
AND THEN PULL THE SURPRISE ON NOBAMA..

GO AWAY HRC

NO SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO PUSH BUT THERE IS 18 MILLION OF US DISHEARTENED VOTERS OUT HERE WHO ARE GOING TO CAST A VOTE FOR SOMEONE. IF NOT HILLARY IT SURE WILL NOT BE CAST FOR THE LIKES OF OBAMA.

I don't believe this. Her supporters are out of control but I wonder at whose bidding. Mark Penn, a member of her campaign staff, is praising McCain's ads. Hillary always said she would take the fight to the campaign floor. Now it looks like she has.

UNITED we STAND and divided we ALL FALL back to the same miserable existence of the past 8 years!

We have to put away our own agendas and focus on the greater good for all Americans. WE NEED Democratic UNITY; so many people's lives depend on it! The most important is to get our troops out of Iraq our military and their families/friends have suffered enough!!!!

Okay, it's a done deal. Now it's time to get down to business supporting Obama, nothing has changed.

Smoke and mirrors folks =]

Clinton is gonna win this.

Let her people feel like that are appreciated and move on. Enough of the drama already.

Senator Obama is really a good man, will make a great President and is trying to do what is best for the Democratic Party Senator Clinton and her supporters should count themselves as blessed because I don't believe a lot of presumptive nominees would have let her name be put in nomination and I do beleive if the roles were reversed that she would not have let his name be put in. "She never pushed for convention compromise" – iif you believe that I have some swamp land in Alabama that you can built some high rise condos on. Maybe she didn't but she did not stop them from doing so

enough already, this is getting silly. Who cares if she did or didn't. Game over. She gets that.

I'm just angry that the democratic party leaders played favorites practically handing the nomination to Obama. Well, time to vote for McCain because it is payback time!

HILLARY IS BEHIND THIS DRAMA! IF OBAMA IS DEFEATED IN NOVEMBER, I WILL BECOME AN INDEPENDENT VOTER.

THIS DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR, THAT HILLARY IS PUSHING, IS WHAT ONE EXPECTS FROM REPUBLICANS!

I wonder who pushed for Michelle Obama speaking at the convention?????????????? And why in the world bring here to the front and center?

I'm not at all surprised she didn't push for a roll call at the convention. If she wanted that she wouldn't have suspended her campaign. She desperately wanted to be president but she will not allow her ego to take down the Democratic party, unlike John Edwards with his potentially ruinous October surprise.

If she really wants to unify the party behind Sen. Obama then I think she should formally end her campaign not just suspend it. Then no one can ask to have her name in the hat at the caonvention.

This is outrageous. The Clinton campaign should be very ashamed and
Hillary Clinton will surely not win any points for this one. She is behind this farce all the way.

Hillary Clinton should be the presidential nominee. If not, she should be Obama's running mate as v.p. If you want a Democrat for president, include Hillary. Obama can not win without her.

yeah, right…Senator Clinton is "plum surprised" that her supporters are so insistent. Could that be because she has not "campaigned her heart out" for Senator Obama? I don't buy it. I think she is lovin' it.

"We are worried we are not going to be able to control it"

So now the Democrats want to control the votes rather than give voice to the people?

All I have to say is I want a 1932 repeat ! If you don't know what I'm talking about do a little Election Year Research

And if anyone believes THIS, I'm sure they'd also be interested in some great corner lots in the Everglades…..

BARACK ON!

Come on, give me a break. Hillary wanted this, and even if she didn't ask for it personally, she had her surrogates do it for her so it wouldn't make her look bad. Bill probably had a sizable hand in it, too.

Thanks DNC this is the best present Hillary's supporters could have ever received!!!!

I'm an Obama supporter. When I heard news of this, it made me happy. This is an honorable move for both the Clinton and Obama campaigns.

If these supporters were so 'loyal,' they would honor her wishes and support the Democratic nominee. Instead, they're just Republicans and attention hounds facilitated by worthless media outlets like CNN.

I am sure the Obamabots with still find a way to blame this on Hillary.

If she meant all she said about supporting Barack, she should do it with honesty. so that America and the world see her as a credible and sincere person. This is the only way The Clintons will have their respect back……The world is waiting to see her in her true colour.

Hillary Supporter for Obama.

Time to Unite Baby…. Unite against McSame

OBAMA '08

It's real simple Hillary. All you have to do is politely decline having your name up for the nomination and endorse Obama. This is Hillary backtracking to make herself seem less selfish. Unless she politely declines, then there is nothing she can possibly say that can justify the statement her "adviser" just released.

she never openly pushed for the compromise, your not guilty unless you get caught,

We are doing this in order to find out exactly how many stupid people there are going to be at the Democratic National Convention.

Not that it matters anymore, but I dont believe much of what comes out of her mouth since Bosnia.

Clinton and her supporters are a disgrace to the Democratic Party.
