CNN

So tired of listening to the talking heads saying Hillary supporters will back Obama. I am a life long Dem. Will vote for McCain.

Senator Obama should have been gracious to call Hillary Clinton himself first. To hear it second hand still shows his arrogance. He did pick another excellent candidate for V.P. I seriously think that Hillary did not want to play second fiddle. She is TOO good for that. Obama better do right and put her in an important place in his cabinet. I will always be her supporter and to make sure that Democrats take back the White House, I will vote for Obama/Biden. Good luck Senator Clinton at the roll call vote in Denver. Still wishing and hoping that YOU will become our nominee in a surprise tally of all the votes. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!

Demrep: How can you vote for Joan McCain when he is against most women issues like contraceptives and Roe v Wade?

Barak owes the so called Puma Queen nothing...if it was me I'd let her

read it on CNN (Clinton News Network)....guess this won't be posted

I think she know the day, after she bow out of the race that she would not be pick, and I agree with the ( future President Obama), change does not come with Hillary. There will be some people that agree and disagree with this , but the bottom line is Obama and Joe is a winning team, like it or not. The people have spoken and come November they will speak again, after this they will be taking the White House from Bush.

I continue to be amazed at how low the lowest-common-denominator in America is.

Hillary Clinton _was_ a candidate. There's always a runner-up. The indignation, despite the burn-the-bridges tactics she used in her efforts to win, the apparent sense of entitlement, the unwillingness to let go, even in the convention that's supposed to buoy the candidate she's now "wholeheartedly" endorsing .... It's inexcusable, it's infantile, and worst of all, it's gas for the Republicans' flamethrowers.

McCain simply isn't a rational choice for someone who supported what Hillary stands for.

I genuinely hope that those of you who wish Hillary had earned the nomination will simply accept that you wish that, write her a check to show how much you wish it, and lend some of your energy to the victor's campaign ..... just a bit of benefit of your doubt that Obama might just be a very good president ... and bring something of your own to the table to help make it so.

For the meantime, it's at least what I wish Hillary would (more unequivocally) do.

I am a Soldier with 17 years in the Army serving my country faithfully. I cannot believe the comments that are being made by some people, I respect Hillary Clinton but it isn't about what she wants anymore, she underestimated Obama, it isn't his fault. How do some of you people call yourselves patriots? Some say that they are voting for McCain now that Hillary lost, maybe us Soldiers should say that we won't defend this country any more because it is to racist, sexist and ignorant to fight for. I have lost two friends in Iraq, i'm willing to bet that you could NEVER if it were possible to look any of the 4,000 in the eye and have the nerve to say these retarded things. Them as well as I would spit in your face. Also, all of the people homeless now who have lost their homes and jobs have no rights anymore because some people don't care, they are I guess comfortable where the are right now. Kharma is alive and well. You old people for McCain, keep mortgaging your childrens future off, you have a tendency to vote against your own best interest. I'm for Obama and it isn't for no other reason but the well being of my country, it scares the hell out of me that there is a possibility that John McCain could be my Commander and Chief. I have been to war twice, just returned from Camp Ramadi in Iraq, this does NOT make me an expert in foriegn policy like McCain would have you believe. POW just means you got caught, I don't wish that on anyone, McCain uses it for political gain. The cross in the sand sounds like BS. I read somewhere about a cross in the sand but can't remember, McCain must have read the same book.

ALL HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS, GET UP AND VOTE ON ELECTION DAY! NOT FOR BARACK OBAMA, BUT FOR THE BETTER CANDIDATE WHO DOESN'T LEAVE ANYONE OUT, LIKE OBAMA. VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAIN OR HILLARY CLINTON WHEN SHE GETS NOMINATED AT THE DNC!!! SHE DESERVES MORE RESPECT THAN SEN. OBAMA HAS EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING HER. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT, NOT BARACK OBAMA!!!!!

Obama really believes he's unbeatable.

He believes he can deceive his supporters. He can bash the leaders of his own political party. He can vacation during critical moments.

People don't like Bush because he's "cocky and arrogant". The same will be said of Obama.

I whish all of you repug wpuld stop sending out these e- mail like are dems.yes there are some people that wanted HRC to win but it can be.OB will be the next man in the HOUSE so its time to vote for him and help put us back were we belong.her race was over a long time ago but she stay in to make it harder on the dems.so the money she owe should come out of that 150 millions they have why must we pay for it.

hi im from oklahoma a true democrat but i will be voting for john mccain in november obama sucks so does byden the blow hard when you have a dream team going and obama dumped on her he will loose i would bet my best suit on it. hillary and i will be back running again in 4 years against john mccain.ps i will be voting for john mccain in november.my vote will make a diffrance their will be justice done it just takes time.sam democrats lost the white house again out of stupidity to bad

Funny how everyone is pissed at Obama for not nominating or even seriously considering Hillary as his VP. I am pretty sure nothing wad promised to Hillary. After all it is Obama's choice to decide who he wants. So what if Hillary conceded. She was losing regardless. She can take her and her 18 million supporters and get lost for all I care. But those 19 million better remember that if Obama does lose this race and it is close, it will be because of them and them only. They call themselves democrats looking for change but the moment their candidate doesnt get nominated for VP they want to flee. Why not unite and support the person that is the nominee and let bygones be bygones in the name of true democracy? Like someone said earlier, if the situation was reversed I am sure Hillary wouldnt give 2 cents about Obama. Such sore losers. I used to think the Obama/Hillary ticket would hav been sweet but now I would hate to see Hillary anywhere near the oval office.

Not even man enough to tell HRC himself and he thinks he's ready to be president? What a PUNK!

HAHAHAHAHAHA Obama is now ready to surrender!!! John McCain will pick up the Majority of Clinton backer that includes all my LATINOS brother and Sister. LATINOS open your eyes obama is not for us and we can smell a RATON (Rat) Hispanic the latinos in FL, MI, OH, PA, NJ, CT, NM, NV, TX, AR, NJ, CA, are all going to McCain!!!

Latinos for McCain!!!

i was going to vote for obama but the way he did hillary i cant forget so i am going for mcCain. i need a sing to put in my yard for mcCain

I have to ask- would we even be discussing this if Obama was a white man? Why should he consult her? He won the primaries- he doesn't need to consult the loser. Remember a lot people also voted for Obama – does anyone know the actual vote total?

HRC had every advantage- the primaries were hers to loose and she did. Obama built something from nothing- his campaign is still making money- I have not donated but I will. HRC is 25 million in debt- if she can't manage her own campaign how does she plan to run the country? Would you choose a VP who was 25 million in the hole? The Repugs are already having a field day with comments made by HRC during the primaries, just think about the use of her campaign debt as amunition.

cnn knows how to keep the madness brewing.

Attention All PUMAS

If for some reason Obama loses and it is due to your racism and hipcrosy.

I GUARANTEE YOU. HILLARY WILL NEVER NEVER BE PRESIDENT

I will fight with every core in my body to make sure that the Democratic party never get another person of color vote!!

Si se Puede!! Obama/Biden 08'12

Is anyone who posts here actually literate?

Help retire my primary campaign debt. As a private citizen seeking to serve my country, my public campaign debt should not be hung around my neck as a private expenditure I alone am saddled with.

LOL!! Do you think Hillary and her minions finally get the picture? Has reality started to creep in, or are they still in a state of denial? Sen Obama does not owe this woman a thing! She did everything possible to destroy his nomination and still got beat! She, like her followers care nothing about the Democratic party. They are all about the Clintons and what remains of a fractured legacy. So what if they vote Republican? They weren't going to vote for Sen Obama any way.

Ding Dong the witch is dead! Which old witch? The wicked witch. Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead!

Hey Canadian Observer.... Please just observe and don't comment.

x-puma,

The only one who doesn't share optimism about America is Obama, who has run this country down from day one.

If you were a Hillary supporter who is now planning to vote for McCain than you were never really a Hillary supporter.

Afghanistan Hearings

The ad starts by saying Obama "never held a single Senate hearing on Afghanistan," which is literally true. Obama, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's subcommittee on European Affairs, hasn't held any Afghanistan hearings. The full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, however, has held three hearings on Afghanistan during the past two years, and Obama attended one of them.

McCain's ad fails to mention that his own record is no better. Although he's the highest ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, he missed all seven of the hearings that his panel held on Afghanistan during the same two years, according to ABCNews.com. (We looked through the transcripts of the hearings from Federal News Service to confirm ABC's report, and we found statements that showed McCain was not present at two of the hearings, statements from other senators speaking on McCain's behalf at two more hearings, and no mention of McCain whatsoever at the other three.)

I don't understand it.
If you Hillary-psychos love her so much – then why is she still in debt?
Put your money where your mouth is and stop being so bitter.
It's over.

All of this complaining about Hillary not getting the VP spot is uttertly ridiculous. In a primary race their is a winner and a loser. Both sides have their supporters. When a candidate wins in the primary, the losing side gracefully accepts defeat and then rallys around the winner. Also, when does the winning candidate ever is demanded to payoff the campaign debts of the loser. I have never heard anything so ridiculous. If Obama was a white candidate, no one would demand he pay for anything. Only a black man would get asked to do something so stupid.

H Clinton -will be Secretary of State
B Clinton- Appointed to Supreme Court
W Clark- Secretary of Defense or Colin Powell
A Gore- Department of Energy Secretary
Jim Webb- Homeland Security
John Kerry- Senior Advisor

? we will all see

How can Hilary supporters even think of voting for McCain who support all they are against. Like no contraception for women, against Rowe v Wade etc. Are they nuts? Cutting off their noses to spit their faces.

If I were Hillary, I'd tell my supporters to vote for McCain.

To: Clinton, no, wait, McCain Supporter,

You sound hateful and vile, and actually a bit mentally disturbed.

HOLY CRAP!!! IF CNN GAVE AS MUCH REPORTING TIME AND EFFORT TO ALL THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ILLEGALITIES AS THEY HAVE GIVEN TO FURTHERING THE " HILLARY/BARACK FUED " MAYBE WE COULD HAVE IMPEACHED THE BASTARDS BY NOW!!!!!!!! PATHETIC JOURNALISM!!!!!!!!!

In November I will be voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. If he had chosen Hillary Clinton I would be voting for Barack and Hillary.

Mean while all of you who supported her and not Obama, are doing her a great disservice. You are helping the right wing tear up your party, making the Clintons look bad..

I was always against the war and in favor of withdrawal, our economy sucks right now, food and gas are crazy prices, people have lost their homes and continue to do so.... and your power switch for spite is what???? vote for a man too old to run our country who has no idea to the problems of every day life.??..... and stayed up Bush's butt

This is one Clinton supporter who is NOT BITTER. I've just done my homework on the matter. I should of been born in Missouri, the prove it to me state. Obama started out being the one for change – now that his poll numbers are down, the DNC is worried they made the wrong pick. So the only change he has made is to change his mind AGAIN and decided on a older washington insider to be his V.P. What a surprise. How in the world can we expect him to take care of this county when he lets his own brother live in a slum. But that should not surprise people when you take a good look at him and his "friends". Talk about the Devil in Blue jeans. Wake up people and join the rest of us "smart" Democrats who plan on voting for McCain in 2008.

Would somebody please tell me why we are still talking about her? She lost fair and square and there was no media bias...why can't people understand that she lost because she made bad choices! Her judgment scares me and I'm thankful that more Americans came to their senses and voted for Sen. Obama...who cares about the Clintons...they had their time in the political limelight and now it's time to step down!!!!!! They are phonies, always have been and always will be...they don't care about America, they care about themselves and their agenda...maybe they'll start their own party cause their arrogance will tell them to...the phoniness will be on full display at the convention and i hope that people don't buy into the smiles!!!!

Why is CNN trying to create drama??
I am so tired of seeing the media try to produce contention between the Clinton and Obama camps – stop trying to distract voters with this nonsense!
Shame on you CNN

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

Hillary for Supreme Court

Not only has the McCain campaign been trying to drive a wedge between Clinton supporters and Obama.......the MEDIA coverage of this just promotes it even more.

"By ignoring Hillary he is ignoring 18 million voters."

18 million of the dumbest people on the planet.

If you can't support the Ticket Then stop pretending to be
Democrats and put your blinders back on. Bill was and is
still an embarsment to America and Hillery is just as bad.
We don't need to worship at the alter of the Clintons to make
America a better place we need to tear it down and build a new
one that leaves behind the politics of hate.

Surely, the Hillarists with a shred of integrity will remember her and Bill's attacks on Obama - she was far nastier than he ever was. C'mon, guys, that's not even controversial, is it? And in any case, she'll be Secretary of State, a far more important position than VP, and one she is eminently qualified for. She'll be great there.

I don't understand why Clinton backers keep acting like Obama has done something wrong. He won the primary. It was hard fought, but he won. Even though he could have ignored Hillary going forward, he put a request for funds for her debt on his website. He has made her one of the primary speakers at the Democratic Convention. He has offered to allow a role-call vote to show he honors her work. He has done nothing but keep her in the news. And yet, because he didn't pick her as his VP he has somehow done something to humiliate her. She's in politics. Politics are a rough game. If the Clinton supporters keep acting like she's a defenseless little girl who has been humiliated and scorned, they don't know politics, and they don't know just how tough Hillary is. Sooner or later, the Clinton supporters must realize she is no longer in the game. it's over. It has been for months. Get over it, get up off the floor, stock kicking and screaming. This is getting rediculous.

if hillary "steals" the nomination as some of you PUMAs hope, how do you expect her to beat McCain without the help of Obama supporters?

Let's put all the drama behind us and move on to elect what is best for the country. I will not vote for McCain because of how he treated is first wife and because he has the worst record on voting for women issues.

America's future is more important than our own little frustration.

Shocker. We knew this was going to happen. If Obama chooses her, he is no longer the Change guy, if he doesn't, he's dividing the party. The truth is that Hillary overplayed her hand in her kitchen sink strategy; it's like insulting someone at a dinner party only to find out he/she will be your new boss. She figured shed never see Obama again, poor move. Her kitchen sinks are coming home to roost.

I'm so sick of BHO people calling HRC people racist because we feel BHO is not qualified and because we feel HRC got a screwed by the DNC.

I'm sure all the BHO people calling HRC people racists are Black. 90% of Blacks voted for BHO in the primary for no other reason than he is Black. When you vote for someone just because of their color, that is rasicism.

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo HAPPY HILLARY IS

NOT IN THE PICTURE!!!!!

Senator Clinton and Barack Obama share a commitment to health care for all Americans, repairing – not privatizing- social security, redirecting the “War on Terror” to taking on Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, and ending the mistake in Iraq responsibly.

John McSame represents four more years of the most corrupt, ineffective, and dishonest administration since Richard Nixon. Bush and McCain love to invoke the name of Ronald Reagan as their hero. Too bad neither of them shares his vision or optimism. Go Democrats

To: RandyPA, and all others like him...

OH PLEASE... The only vile, mean-spirited, immature people are Obama supporters who continue to bash Hillary supporters. Just b/c one doesn't agree with your candidate, doesn't mean it is so b/c they are "bigots" / racists/ bitter, and all the other things Hillary Supporters continue to be called. ...and you wonder why they are having a difficult time coming around to supporting your candidate??? Hmmm...Just so you know, I am very proud to say I'm a Hillary supporter, and this Hillary supporter will vote for Obama- b/c although I am very skeptical of his knowledge/ experience, etc, he is definitely the lesser of two evils- I just cannot vote for McCain b/c to do so would indeed be four more years of the same failed policies set forth by the current moronic administration. Having chosen Biden as his VP definitely makes me feel better about my vote b/c Biden does bring along that experience, especially in foreign policy that Obama so greatly lacks...yet I can't help but think that Obama is a hypocrite- didn't he say he was all about change and that experience wasn't as important, blablabla? Didn't he say that he wanted to change the status quo? Biden has been a Washington insider longer than even that poor fossil of McCain! Do you see why many of us who didn't embrace Obama to begin with are having a hard time trusting and believing in Obama? These are but a few examples of why I don't really like him...but again, I am a democrat first....so I will vote for Obama. The stakes are too high.

I think Obama was gutless not to call Clinton himself. To have someone else make the call was a slap in the face to her. I am not a Clinton supporter but if he called the other people on his "short list" he should have stood up like a man and made the call himself. I hope she doesn't do a good job of supporting him at the convention, let him eat crow. He needs her and her supporters, how soon he forgets. Just plain selfish!!!!

WOW!!!! Another screw up by the racist liar Obama.

MCCAIN 08

your better than Obama HIllary. All he has done is use you to gain voters he never would have had.

Hillary supporters, please let it go. We have to come together to win. I would have backed Hillary if she had won. All this resistance to Obama suggest that there is a another issue such as racisim.

im very curious here,, why does bill clinton need to speak at the convention? he wasnt elected or was a nominee,,ummmm i just hope he leaves his anger at home,, along with his thoughts,, if anything ruined hillarys campaign, it was bill and his big mouth,,,,, someone tell me why bill needs to speak at this convention? wasnt it hillary who was runnin?,,,not bill,, obama/biden08 and beyond

Does Hilliary Clinton understand losing? Her supporters do not seem to understand either. When have we had such pressure on the winner of the primaries to pick a vice president. Sen. Obama won and get over it. Why is President Clinton speaking at the convention? They are treated like they are a king and queen. He had his eight years. Sen.Hilliary Clinton needs to quietly return to senate .

Silly me: Hillary was a First lady, an unelected co-president, is a senator, a leading presidential candidate at the beginning so of course we need to be careful not to hurt her feeling. If Obama were to be in her position, losing after being ahead with 100 million dollars in donations and 100 superdelegates, who would have care about his feeling?

For those of you who are saying you'll back McCain becuase Hillary wasn't selected–will you please join us back here in the reality-based community and think about how much is at stake in this election? I thought Hillary would have been a terrible choice for President, a decision I base on her senatorial record and her inflammatory comments regarding international policy. However, it is as clear as day to me that she would have been far preferable to McCain, and I would certainly have voted for her had she gotten the nomination. McCain is a DANGEROUS choice for this country. Remember all the self-righteous fools who cost Gore the election by voting for Nader? Do you really want to be the spoilers of this election? All of those voters thought 4 years of Bush couldn't be all that bad. Flash forward to September 11 and the misguided war in Iraq. Our economy is in shambles and thousands of our young soldiers are dead, along with hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Do you really want to vote for McCain just to be spiteful? How truly selfish of you.

wouldn't it be lovely if in her speech mrs. clinton has former pres. clinton join her onstage, and they tell everyone that they cannot be a part of the party that lied, cheated, bullied and bought a candidacy for obama. then they will say that they are leaving the dem party and starting their own party with sen. clinton to run for pres. and bill as vp. oh what a lovely scene that would be.

Thank you Hillary. The Republicans are going to win an election we had no reason to win. Hillary/Bill will be voted Republicans of the year. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've hated the clintons until this year.

Let's see if CNN will allow the truth to be posted.

IF THIS IS TRUE I DON'T FEEL IT WAS A PROPER THING FOR OBAMA TO DO. IF HE CAN'T BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE FIRST CALL I FEEL THIS IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO SEN. CLINTON.
HIW CAN THIS TYPE OF THING UNITE THE PARTY.

Sad to say but Hillary caused all of her problems. She should have bowed out when it was apparent that she could not win, but she liked the attention and the media continusly saying how tough she was. Don't blame Obama for her woes, blame her hubby and all those supporters that kept pushing her to defeat.

comparing Biden to hillary's experience. Hillary is nothing compared to Biden. Remember Hillary made up stories to brainwash her supporters. that just shows how easily people can be manipulated by Pinnichio. Biden is the total package. Now the Obama team has good judement + experience for change.

This is such a non-story. CNN get back to real news

To all the Hillary supporters on this blog; please go to Hillary's website and donate 2 dollars. Thank-you!! lol

If Obama does lose this election and I pray that he doesn't, he will accept his lost with style and grace. Unlike Hillary and her SUPPORTERS, he can expect that it is over.

When Bill Clinton took office in 1992, he ruthlessly took revenge on every political opponent he had faced.

What thinking person ever thought Hillary would be given the VP job? Everyone questions how well she would have worked with Barack.

Unfortunately, the VP is to advance the President's agenda, not their own.

Hillary might recieve the Health & Human Services cabinet position because, if she acts up there, Obama could much more easily dismiss her. As VP, it would be far more damaging to the Democrats to remove her.

It'a about management now ... loose the emotion ...

Proactive: Its about right and wrong.. not about the issues. And to our Canadian Observer... please just observe and keep your comments to yourself. I could care less what you or the rest of the world thinks should be president. It's our choice!

For the life of me I can not understand how someone can claim to be a Clinton supporter then turn their vote to McCain. That is one of the most childish things you can do. "My candidate didn't win so I'm changing my party loyalty, that will show them." Why don't you wise up and take a look at the issues and not your feelings.

Please guys, if his brother in kenya lives on a dollar a day, and they apparently get along well, and he doesnt help his brother out, what makes us think he will be a real man and give a courtesy call to his ownly true competition this campaign cycle, Hillary?

That is why I will not vote for him, he has a million dollar home but cant even help out blood. He sickens me. McCain all the way. Hillary 2012...

As an OBAMA Military Republican; I believe OBAMA is doing extremely well. The election is not close, he will win, but to the extent that it is look upon as been close due to LIV, Low Information Voters, Bigots, Racist and GOP Prapaghanda it will motivate the young, the diverse ethic population to go out and vote in Montana, NC, VA, OH, PA, MI, MS, FL , AK, GA. McCain as of September 1st, cannot use the funds he is raising. He will be limited to 85 million and OBAMA will most certainly raise $125 million in August alone, trust me...we in the military and the millienium for Change will make sure Aug, Sp and Oct is months where OBAMA raise over $500 million prior to November. The GOP/RNC are the one who try to create the "fake Hillary" Drama and people are not stupid, Hillary knows that her Husband legacy and her chance of ever running for Governor of NYC or President rest on OBAMA been elected President, if he is not the CLINTONS will pay the PRICE and we all know it and they should. We all rise together or the CLINTONS will sink with us. O-Biden in 08!
YES ARMY STRONG FOR OBAMA STRONG!

I repeat: This Clinton supporter will not be alone in celebrating when Obama loses!

Hillary is the best candidate participating in this election. The democrats blew it again! They selected the far left-wing liberal out of touch with mainstream America!

Now, this campaign is about the divisive, sexist, racist movement inspired by Obama that spawns hate and extreme anger. This is a huge problem for America!

America can't afford an Obama presidency.

Even Bush, and I have not been a "W" fan, is spiraling up, and his legacy in years to come will give him credit for establishing a new Democracy and an ally in the Middle East.

Obama never!

Don't waste your vote! Vote for John McCain 08 and Hillary Clinton 2012!

I guess Obama's hippie mom didn't teach him any manners either.

Actually, she didn't do much. And, boy, does it show.

I don't care if McCain launches World War III. I wouldn't reward Obama the cunning skunk with my vote if you paid me.

I hope the DNC goes down in flames in November.

Oh, CNN give it up! What a picture to select to continue to try to improve ratings by creating a controversy.

Why no update of Hillary's response to the latest McCain ad outlining why she would never support McCain's basic policies?

He does not have the courtesy of giving Hillary who should have won now that they decide to count the vote a call. How sad. If NOBAMA is elected, this is what we have to look forward too. No credibilty and no experience even in something as simple as this common courtesy.

NOBANA IS A NOVELTY

I sure feel sory for obama biden will make him loose the wite house because of is big mouth he dosn't before he speeks

I can see where some of you liberals are scared of McCain. It is easy to see in your statements to a real man. I am a twenty year veteran and I see cowardice witten all into your statements. You are afraid if the country needs you he might start a draft. I along with four others in this family would have voted for Clinton even though I am an indepedent ; Two daughters and a wife who are republicans and a son who is democrat. But we all agree on one thing . We will not vote for Obama instead we will all vote for McCain.

I challenge one PUMA person, just one, to explain why John McCain will be a good president and why voting for him is a good idea.

I don't expect this challenge to be expected. They're voting for McCain out of hurt feelings rather than logic. And that's dangerous.

I don't think Hillary cares.

All this false outrage over Hillary is just ammo for the Republicans to divide Democrats. We need not fall for this. The greater issue is making sure we don't have another Republican president with more failed destructive policies.

So, let's see. Senator Clinton and former-President Clinton slung mud by the truck-full, lied, cried, withheld personal financial information, lied some more, went back on her agreement with other candidates to keep their names off the ballots in Florida and Michigan due to the broken rules, then put herself on as the only candidate, then fought to have the votes counted against DNC rules and decisions, overspent her budget and now owes many small businesses the funds they need to survive and "suspended" her campaign, but didn't end it to keep the party unified or on track.

She and Senator Obama were obviously not a good match for President and Vice President under any circumstances, so why is anyone surprised or even angry? The rants from her supporters only make me wish one revision in history; that there truly was sniper fire as she walked out in the open.

Hillary will have the last laugh, when all her supporters and the entire Florida and Michigan delegates choose her over Obama!

She can still stage a "coup" and wrest the nomination away from Obama!

If this doesn't happen, then hello President John McCain!!!

AND by the way Obamabots... we are NOT bitter, we just know BETTER!!!

Obama is a little man in a tall body. He couldn't face Hillary because he is a wimp and knows he's wrong. What's the old saying.............hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?! He hasn't even begun to know what he is in for.

I for one am very tired of the supporters of Senator Obama who write things like "get over it" and "just grow up" or my personal favorite "you're an idiot". Great way to bring people together! And they seem to be missing the point altogether. If Senator Obama had made an open attempt to bring Senator Clinton on to the ticket, her supporters would have followed suit (at least a majority of them), even if she had declined. The problem is, he appears not to have bothered to make even the semblance of attempting to do so. And his supporters, as I have said, do not help the situation. With regard to Senator Biden, I personally like Joe, but putting him on the ticket seems to go against the very ideals Senator Obama stated as his goals, and tends to emphasize the fact that he is extremely low on experience. The ticket seems to be up side down. The man with the experience should be on top, with the other learning from him. Just for the record, I do not now and have never, intended to vote for Senator Obama. I probably would have voted for Hillary Clinton. And by the by, I am not a racist just because I do not like Senator Obama. I just happen to believe he is a very slick politician, but not a very experienced statesman.

NO HRC ___ NO OBAMA.

Dems it is time to cut the BS and get behind Obama /Biden to get the Bush nightmare behind us. HRC and BHO were seeking deligates not votes. I'm sure that had they been seeking votes, Obama's strategy would have been different.

One thing is for sure if Obama loses, she can forget about running in 2012, because her political career is over!

All of the reasons that Hillary Clinton could not have been president or vice president can be summed up in just two words – Bill Clinton.

On the other posts, Clinton supporters are saying that they are going to vote for McCain because he has shown respect of her in his latest trash ad in which the Republicans say that she was "snubbed". Give me a break - you think this is to show respect???!!! It is to manipulate the die-hard Clinton supporters, stir up the pot, and try to take the Democrat VP moment away from the Democrats. Please, open your eyes and try to see what is really going on. And if you are still voting for McCain - well then the only reason you were voting for Hillary is because she is a woman.
-Another woman voting for Obama

To all the "NEW" Democratic Obama supporters, where were you the last two elections. "at home" saying we don't have anyone to vote for, well you are the blame for Bush getting in office the first place, so don't now jump up and say we need party unity to elect Obama. Democratic party establishment voters tried to keep him out , and you were not there!! Hillary and Bill have worked for the party longer than Obama has been in politics!!! and that is a FACT. Also a fact that Obama nor his people have EVER ask Clinton supporters to join their team....

By the way, do you Hillary "supporters" even have a grasp of English grammar? -posted by FactCheck...

The answer to your question is clearly NO. Higher education has opened our minds to searching out the truth. Those of us who have searched for the truth and found it know that Obama is the best way to go. He is not perfect, I agree, but he is our best hope. Hillary was my second pick, but she made it clear during the primaries that she was not running for VP and it is my humble opinion that she would better serve the people in a high ranking position in the cabinet. I also believe that the PUMAs and "hillary supporters" are the same kind of junior high trash that threw gum in your hair and spread lies every chance they got. I'm sure that Hillary is as disappointed as we are.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Jack Daniels on this blog is NOT a black man. No African-American is going to go on a blog and start out a comment by saying "as a Black man". We just don't do that; it not "code", if you know what I mean, Jack Daniels. It's a dead give-away that you're not! We recognize our own by certain words.

I don't understand why Obama didn't choose Hillary for VP.

Just because Hillary (and Bill) Clinton actively worked to viciously destroy Obama's campaign: just because Hillary (and Bill) went into cahoots with the right wing extremists to work together to share anything they could find about him and his family from digging through his garbarge bags;
Just because they purposely provided McCain enough ammo to use against Obama from not until eternity; Just because Hillary has never stopped campaigning for Presidency; just because she proved she could not be trusted.

Look Obama has a spine of steel, he could have picked Hillary, hired a little extra security for himself and hired a food tester and worn a flak jacket around the clock. I'm sure he would have been fine.

This is crazy. HRC doesn't have 3M voters under her control. Those voters that are raising hell weren't going to vote for HRC. They were trying to cause confusion which you are buying into. Further, Obama doesn't owe her/Bill anything. They tried to destroy him and are practicing extortion tricks now. She poorly managed her campagne and spent $ that she didn't have even after it was known to her and everybody that she had lost. Face it, she will never be President and who could trust her to be their VP? If obama is smart, he will cut the role call vote short and not let the Clintons take over the convention.

Yeah right.............................. Lets move on....
Lets move on guys...........

'08 election is over for us......
Lets move on.......

Suffering FromClinton Fatigue .... don't need or want to hear any more about Clinton regarding the presidential or VP selection process.

Don't mind hearing about her in a supporting role though. The spotlight must fade on Hillary for now if she is to rise in the party again.

We all know that whoever MacWar picks as his VP will be a puppet on a string, MaCDraft only believes in a military command structure , a Master Slave relationship, and with his temper we will have so many wars, as we wait for China and India to take over as economic super-powers. These guys are morons who want to bring the American Empire down, we will not let them, vote for Obama/Biden to save our great empire.

Is Obama eligible to run for president based on citizenship laws?

Par-a-noia n 1: a serious mental disorder marked by feelings of persecution or distorted ideas of one's own importance.....2: a tendency toward excessive or unreasonable feelings of suspicion or distrust of others. 3: Hillary Clinton supporters who have lost touch with reality

Why does Obama owe her anything? They were opponents in a hard fought battle. Both throwing punches. In no other priamry race has the winner every had to coddle the loser.
Hillary could no way be the VP pick, there was too much mud flung from her and her camp to Obama and his camp.
Bimmer 49 why should you support Obama you ask? Obama and Haillary always had the same message.....Vote democrat, no more Republicans in the Whilte House. That was Hillary's message all throughout her campaign.,...if you support her then you should support what she stood for....getting a Democrat nominated.

Hey Vince from Texas,

How can you say Obama didn't win. According the DNC's primary rules he won the required number of delegates via primaries, caucuses, and super delegates. Maybe you don't like the process or how he got there, but make no mistake Obama won. Hillary lost, plain and simple. She, Bill, and her team ran a terrible campaign and she lost as a result.

And I am so sick of hearing her supporters say what a dirty campaign he ran as if Hillary never went negative. Give me a break! They both did what they had to do to win and she lost, period. Its her fault, not his. And the notion he should now consult her and Bill on his VP pick is absolutely ridiculous! He won, its his choice. Paul Begala makes me sick! I am so sick and tired of the Hillary's supporters saying she was cheated or Obama stole the election or the DNC hand picked him and gave him the nomination. She won a good number of big states, great for her. But she also lost states. I don't care if they were caucuses or primaries. She lost people!!! What is your problem?!? Bases on party RULES the super delegates ended up carrying Obama over the finish line. Deal with it. They thought he would be a better candidate. Thats they way it goes. Get over it. Let it go. I don't care what you do or how you vote but just SHUT UP already!

Some of you Hillary fans were not following the primaries as well as you should have. Many, probably millions, of her votes came from Republicans who, already knowing that McCain was their presumptive nominee, voted for Hillary in their state's' open primaries. And, in those states that did not have open primaries, many Republicans, for the same reason, registered as Democrats temporarily so that they could vote for Hillary. This party switching was all over the news. Right wing talk show hosts were urging party members to do this. Weren't you listening?They switched because they liked her? No. They knew she was beatable in the election. She and Bill have so much baggage, and they knew she was the weaker candidate. So, get over your disappointment and do what you can to keep the Republicans out of the White House. Hillary's losing is not the end of the world. McCain and his saber rattling in the White House just might be.

Typical Obamabot baloney. The "Change" politician picks someone with 35 years in the U.S. Senate. The "New" politician picks someone who immediately starts on the attack. The "Judgment" politicians does not pick the VP candidate who could help him the most. It doesn't make any difference if he didn't like Clinton...she could have helped him immensely with the two groups he needs: 18 million who voted for her; and independents. The most important decision he will make and he blows it! I'm sure that it going to be a close election. If Obama should happen to lose it, he has no one but himself to blame.

Obama claims that he is the diplomatic one- NO WAY- if this is his idea of being diplomatic than we better get prepared for bigger wars than Iraq. He has angered and snubbed not only Clinton but the 18 million Democrats that voted for her. This man is no way near prepared to be President when he mistreats the members of his own political party in such an arrogent manner. GOD HEPL US if this man becomes President.

I think that Obama made a great mistake of not selecting Hillary as his VP Candidate. This thought is shared by most of my friends and relatives here in Canada. Although we can't vote in the U.S. we have resolved to send emails to vote for McCain instead of Obama this coming U.S. Presidential elections.

"Obama is a new breed of politicians."

There is nothing new about him. Have you read about how he ran his campaign in Chicago when he knew he couldn't win the traditional way? If what we need is "change," why did he select Biden? Biden is a perfect example of old Washington politics. Also, I don't believe Hillary was offered the position of VP and she turned it down. Obama didn't even try to pretend to consider her. Despite how public her life is, if she was under consideration, I would expect some form of vetting to have taken place but that didn't happen.

Our tabloid media loves to stir the pot, even when there is no issue.

Obama and Biden likely have bigger plans for Hillary in their administration, whether it is a cabinet position, Supreme Court Justice, etc. Most of her supporters already understand that, and more of them will after the convention. Democrats '08

If Obama selected Hilary as #2, then, Republicans would've had hours of clips to play about Hilary's negative words towards Obama. As far as I am concerned, she should've thought about it before she decided to run Carl Rove like ads against Obama during her campaign...remember 3am ad???

Fair is Fair...she lost and Obama does not owe her anything!

Wise up America Vote for Obama!

@ Aiden Sheffield

I can't believe there are people like you – that are willing to switch when both Obama and Clinton's ideals were nearly the same. You were going to vote for Hillary because she stood for something that was a 180 from the past 8 years, right? But, now you'll throw it all away for more of the same.

Where is your logic?

The Democrats voted for Clinton

the idiot kids and independents (the same ones who voted for Bush) voted for Obama

this is so stupid...

And Obama is still trying to make people feel guilty for not voting for him like they are racists or something- LETS FACE IT
If Obama was white he wouldn't be the nominee

RaymondSanDiego... I am also a delegate(SUPER), STOP YOUR LIES, this was a race, and anyone that watched the race are knowledgeable of the dirty tactics that came from the Clinton; and, that are now being used by the 'GOP" for divide and slaughter the DEM through the ignorance or Hillary supports or are you a GOP. Obama had no problem selecting Biden, and Biden made some controversy statements about Obama; but, Obama chose a partner that would run with him for Change/Experience/Additional Experience for the American people and DEM.

I look forward to Obama/Biden goind down hard – Democrat for McCain/Romney 08. Hillary 2012. Obama and the O-kids have used their inexperienced naivete to elect a Republican and 4 more years of rule. Hey, but at least Obamamaniacs have their 15 minutes of fame and can feel good about themselves. Yes you did, yes you can and will ensure a Republican is in office.

This is no longer about Hillary Clinton. She did not have the experience Obama needed and can never pretend to be as qualified as Bayh or Biden.

Please remember that it is the press that continues to spotlight Senator Clinton. She never said she was interested in the VP spot. She among other democratic party members continues to campaign for Obama.

*sigh* Hillary supporters kill me. Name ONE other competition that rewards you for SECOND place? If you lose the championship game by ONE point, you're NOT the "co-champion" because it was such a close game. She LOST! Obama owes her NOTHING! Not the VP spot, not the option to voice her pinion of his choice, and not even time at the convention. She started winning primaries at the end because it was OVER mathematically and Barack was focusing on the general.

And vote for McCain out of spite and cost Democrats this election. Just keep in mind that Obama supporters have have that SAME option if she runs in 2012! Payback is a b....!

Obama inexperienced
Biden talks hastily
Why should hillary voters support Obama ?
Media has been driving obama to victory in same way as George bush in last election !! yes thats the truth.
Obama is importing experience in same way as Bush did with cheney
By ignoring hillary he is ignoring 18 million voters
He changed his position on Iraq after primaries
He changed his position on public funding
The above 2 are because change is not easy. Obama doesnt realize what it takes to make change.
Washington wasn't bad all its life , We have made great strides we have been leaders.
We dont need change we need those old visionaries again who can forsee things and keep the interest of future generations

She did not want the spot folks! Jeez...why be a VP when you can be a powerful Senator? The only thing good about a VP is your one heartbeat from the Presidency.

It is called Karma everyone. Choosing Hillary Clinton is like giving into Mccain's bullying. Hillary and her supporters kept push push push and demand demand and demand and no matter what the DNC and Obama and his campaign do will ever appease her. This only shows, bullies will get no where.
The reason why she wasn't on the VP ticket is because of her baggages:

1) Hillary's cunningness to keep her delegates ( I knew exactly what she was doing later on)
2) Hillary's surrogates such as PUMA and other groups demanding that Obama campaign wipe out her over $25 million of campaign debt. Obama and his friends had dished out checks for her....but it is still not enough to the eyes of Hillary supporters
3) Constant demands from the Hillary supporters on emails to the DNC.
4) Bill Clinton used the race card and of course his 3 sex scandals were never forgotten.
5) Despite the fact that Hillary lost, which she has so ungraciously accept, her supporters create this drama of putting her name on for Denver convention.

So it is 3 out of 5, Hillary's supporters ruined her chances of being on the ticket of a Vice President. If her supporters stay out of the way and just let her handle her lost....Hillary would have been on Barack Obama's VP ticket. So your Hillary supporters open up your eyes and see what you all have done and just grow up already.

Obama, i thought maybe you might have a little bit more respect, she is a collegue and out of respect, you couldn't call her? you know, with FLORIDA AND MICHAGIN RESTORED TO FULL VOTING RIGHTS( yes its true) you are lame, i was going to vote for you, i went and saw you speak, i was convinced, you'll would get my vote, but i don't know how i will vote, your sneaky, very sneaky. o lost trust and hope in you

OBAMA,GEORGE CHANGED POLICIES TO WHAT EVER MADE HIM HAPPY OR YOU KNOW WHAT EVER HE WANTED,NO MATTER THE COST! HIM,DICKEY,ROVE,RICE,RUMSFELD,HALBURTON,BLACK WATER CONTRACTOR'S,,,ANYTHING,ANYWHERE,WIRETAPS ON AMERICANS,IMMIGRANTS ETC... BUT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT OBAMA REEL HILARY BACK IN. FLORIDA&MICHIGAN IS ALLOWED TO VOTE NOW,HILARY STARTED THIS MOTION!! I AM A DIEHARD DEMOCRAT,LET HER IN,IT'S NOT TO LATE! I LIKE YOU JOE BUT OBAMA NEEDS HILARY FOR THE ELECTION AND THE DEMOCRAT FUTURE PARTY...IT IS OUR TIME NOW AND THE FUTURE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY AND ABROAD!!!!!!!!!

If you are so in love with Hillary, why is she still in debt? A bunch of crap! Write her name and while you are at it, write her a check to show your love!

he should have picked clark.he may not win now.

see what i mean, entitlement!!! just because hillary is on the ticket that's not an automatic win. please if that were true she would be the nominee. and image the sound bites that play if she were on the ticket. she's not on the ticket and the rnc play her like she is a card carrying member.

The Democratic Party wrongfully messed up her chance to be the Democratic nominee.

She should run on a independent ticket.

Don't you get it? The "GOP" was waiting for Obama to put Hillary on
the ticket, they have a full war chest of the contributions given to the
Clinton's post Bill Clinton Whitehous. The Clintons' need not want to be VP because they would have had to pull out the documents that they did not pull out during the campaign/ Obama can not appoint Ms. Clinton to a cabinet and the post Clinton library money raised from some questionable overseas (Arabs) will not be a GOP diversion. Wake up spell the coffee.

Hopefully never!! I will never back Obama – he's no different than any other candidate yet he used the race card to get where he is – the media was so rotten to Hillary they are also responsible as well as the superdeligates. All traitors. Never vote Obama.As he gives up public funding for his campaign, Sen. Barack Obama is reaching out to new sources, including Washington insiders whose influence he has vowed to end.
Obama is now using lists of contributors to Democratic congressional chairmen, primarily lobbyists of both parties. One recipient of a letter signed by Obama is a Republican lobbyist who has contributed to senior Democratic Reps. John Dingell of Michigan and Charlie Rangel of New York, not out of ideological affinity but to keep their doors open.
"Together, we change the way business is done in Washington," said the Obama letter. "We can end the undue influence of special interests

This is just another example of Obama disrespecting Hillary and her 18 million supporters. It also shows what poor judgement he has. If he truly wanted to unify the party, he would have picked the person he beat by a mere 1 percent. I am a Democrat, but I hope he loses. I'll vote for McCain and wait until 2012.

Obama wasn't even gracious enough to call Hillary first. Obama's supporters are claiming that Obama owes her nothing and that her supporters should "stop whining." However, you guys are whining that Hillary isn't doing enough to help him win the election. And, when he loses in November, you'll be the first to blame Hillary for his loss. Since when is it her responsiblity to get him elected?

Dear God, will her Crying and Moaning NEVER end ?

Those of you that will wrie in Hillary's name, while you are at it wrie her a check! Put your money where your mouth is!All you repulicans in disguise are not fooling anyone. If you are a true democrat, you would not be even thinking the way you are. HYPOCRITS! Show your true colors!

Go Democrats. Pumas country doesn't mean race/gender. The Democratic party is the peoples party and the Republicans/Mccain will not do for the people never have and never will. If you Pumas were true supports of HRC you would get behind her and her support of Obama. People we need to get our country back and Obama/Biden and all Democrats this fall will do just that.

RE: Turn The Page

EXACTLY!

If HRC supporters cared more about their candidate than just the fact that she is a woman they would realize:

1) She is a populist hawk
2) Her ideas are old ( not John "crypt keeper" McCain old, but old)
3) She is a terribly dirty campaigner

Your candidate was bested soundly...get over it because you are hurting the party and you are truly destroying HRC's chances of ever holding any executive branch office ever.

Rule one on picking a VP choice: don't pick someone who will overshadow or draw attention away from nominee!

Obama/Biden 2008! Sí, se puede!

bimmer49 great comment: "why should Hillary supporter help Obama win if he cannot help himself by selectinga winning ticket?

What was he thinking? Picking Clinton would have been historical and a sure win. I am big Obama supporter but I am disappointed by his VP choice. I thought the message was change.

They treated Hillary like dirt. Why does she take it?

I think only Hillary,Bill and Obama know why she wasn't chosen and the public needs to give it up. Those that continue to stir the pot are nothing more than troublemakers and bigots who are obviously looking for excuses. You don't need an excuse, just vote your conscience, but remember the rich will only get richer and you will continue to bust you A!!!. McCain doesn't care whether is necomes president or not because he will still be rich as long as he stays married to Cindy.

By the way, do you Hillary "supporters" even have a grasp of English grammar?

You sit here and listen to the Hillary supporters and you see why this country will never recover and will never be great again. Such hatred, such vile comments, such bigotry. With people so nasty sounding I can see why they want McCain to win.

God help us if McCain wins.

Why does anyone feel that Clinton is entitled to the vice President position? Historically the runner up does not automatically become the vice president. Look at the facts...2000 Al Gore did not pick Bill Bradley. 1992 Bill Clinton did not pick Jerry Brown. 1992 Michael Dukakis did not pick Jesse Jackson. 1980 Walter Mondale did not pick Gary Hart. 1992 Jimmy Carter did not pick Jerry Brown.

Please go ahead and vote for McCain, you bitter/angry/vindictive little scrubs. Oh, by the way, nice job of retiring Hillary's debt. You all are nothing but a bunch of Republican scrubs but then again, seeing the piece of garbage that you have representing your party, I'm not surprised that you'd stoop to this level.

All of you Republicans faking that you are Clinton supporters and for all of the the true Clinton supporters you should check out the you-tube true video of Peter Paul vs Clinton and find out how honest and true Hillary and Bill are. I'm sure that you'd be shocked. This is a true court case and the real Bill and Hillary Clinton. This will let you know one of the reasons why she was not vetted.

The Republicans want to have a Field Day with Senator Obama had he picked her as VP.

Get real people, if you truly are a Democrat, then get on the real Band Wagon and support and vote for Senator Obama as President of the United States. The media will not tell you this so how about doing some research of your own on Senator Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton.

See how you'll feel after your research

SAD NEWS: Clinton loyalists being played by McCain campaign and they don't even know it.

Mike Huckabee was the runner-up in the Republican primaries, and the word is that he's not even speaking with the McCain campaign about the VP slot. But I don't hear Huckabee or his supporters acting like sore losers and pretending that McCain "owes" Huckabee anything.

Looks like Clinton and her supporters could use a lesson in maturity from Huckabee and his supporters.

shut down, Obama! Shut down Obama! shut down Obama. Ferraro was right – if he had been a white guy with paper thin resume, no experience and just a good orator, he would not have risen the way he did. It does not matter if he is a Harvard graduate – a white guy with his credentials would not have gotten the same attention. This country is just feeling guilty of what it has done to the Blacks that they want to wash their sins by electing the first Black guy that comes very close to a white guy – unlike Jackson and others like him. This is not about what is good for the country, it is merely White Academia wanting to redeem itself and of course, Black America wanting someone like them.

I just realized who all of you Obama supporters sound like! All of you sound like all of the Bush supporters prior to the 2000 election–arrogant, condescending, patronizing, belittling, bullying, and so full of yourselves. You think, just because you support and worship Obama, that no one else could have a different opinion of him? I only hope that there are enough Americans who will vote for someone (anyone) else because they can see the similarities in the personalities of the two men and their obnoxious supporters.

Hillary ’08 and ‘12

Im so glad she LOST and she WAS NOT VP HILLARY CLINTON IS THE MOST BITTER UNGRACIOUS WOMAN I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIDEN HAS WAY MORE EXPERIENCE THAN CLINTON HIGHLY EXPERIENCED IN FORIGN POLICY HILLARY HAS NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS HORRIBLE JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Enough about her winey supporters??"?

Did you forget that over half the nation supported Hillary?

So essentially, you are saying that half of America does not count!

I think that is disgraceful and you deserve a McCaining for the
next four years! But, don't bring us along for more of this bruising
BUSH/McCain train-wreck!!!!!!!

I for one believe that the people that voted for Hillary voted for her
because they believed she is the better candidate and believed
in her ideas and roadmap for America.

Maybe you forget that this is America and we actually vote for a
candidate of our choosing, not one that you suggest! If you or your
band of misguided freinds want to choose a president for yourselves,
you should all go live on a deserted Island! And, please take Bush
and McCain with you!!!!

Some have wondered what Senators Obama and Biden share in common.
Well, it turns out that during his 1988 presidential run, Sen. Biden was castigated as a plagiarist after he gave a speech that sounded similar to one given by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

Just words?

Vince: Stop whining – you sound like a spoiled little girl. You and the rest of these fake PUMA supporters can all go vote for McCain. The radical whiners number in the tens of thousands – far too few to make a bit of difference in the election, despite all your crying.

Hillary supporters? Do you expose your children, neighbors,and friends to your fits of paranoia? How suspicious, and negative can you be? I had read that Hillary would be a polarizing candidate. This process has become sickening. Grow up.

The man didn't owe her anything. You know what they talked about in that private meeting..? He told her then he wasn't going to pick her. She accepted that and knew why. I get the whole 18M voters, but guess what, the grown ups of those 18M know enough to get behind the party instead of this silly nonsense.
So lay off this issue. I find it annoying that the media and CNN is really pushing this. Is it for the drama and if it is, come out and say it instead of force feeding us with this issue.

Please post this.

I am not sure about what all went into the vetting process, but I don't think he could have chosen her. Let's not kid ourselves(hillary supporters) they could not have worked together for one reason only, Bill Clinton. I personally think Bill Clinton hovering over him and her would have been too much to ask for either of them. I feel like he would be hovering because he has to have the attention and be in the mix at all time. I do think Obama could handle him, but there are too many issues facing this country for either of them to have to be focusing on what Bill is doing all the time. I am still hopeful that she will play a major role with healthcare. Go Democrats!!

Friday August 23 is the day when Obama lost the election by his first most important deceision
_____________________________________________________
Well Hilaary lost months ago...GET OVER IT!!!!!
YOUR one vote will not cause Obama to lose this election. wh
The foolish talk about 18 million voters needs to stop as well. Many of "those voters" were Repub. A number of them "regret" that they cast their vote for Hillary period!!! A great number of them actually "Understand" the stupidity involved in voting for 4 more years of George Bush...then theres folks like YOU!!!! that are driven by childish revenge becuase your candidate lost!!!!
OBAMA will be the next President of The United States!!!! And A his bills will be paid when he takes the oath of office,because his supporters really support him!!!!!
Obama/Biden08...

She'll get over it, she's a big girl. Wasn't it Bill himself who said politics was a contact sport and if you didn't want to get hit, don't play? And if she can't get over it, well, there's all the proof in the world that she didn't deserve the job in the first place.

lets see iff CNN will post this

CNN is playing this Cinton thing hard...i can hear the violins playing...

well think of it this way...
John McCain will fight so women stay at a lower pay grade while doing the same job as a man.
John McCain WILL overturn RoevWade.
John Mccain WILL reinstate the DRAFT.
and since his campaign is run by Bush/Chaney people and some 59 lobbyist it is clear that McCain is the "Country Club First" candidate.
John McCain threw his "maverick" image under the bus long ago, along with his "i am going to run a clean campaign, stick to the issues, thats what America wants" Bs...the next thump you hear Hill supporters thinking about voting McCain will be the bus rolling over YOUR womb...one love y'all

The vice presidency is not a conciliation prize. It is a choice by the presumptive nominee. The presumptive nominee picked the person he wanted. I would have voted for Obama even if he had picked Clinton. It was his choice, not anyone elses. Show me where it it written that the also ran candidate gets the second spot. Hillary will keep her seat in the Senate if she can get re-elected. Or maybe if she loses her fanatical band of noise makers will travel to NY to tell them how to run their state. Don't you people have anything better to do than make fools of yourself and the candidate you backed? She made history and now she is history. Honor her accomplishments and move on. If this discord keeps up it will put Hillary Clinton down in history as the most divisive candidate in American History. Oops, she already has that title. How ever Obama won, he won. Imperfect as he may be he outsmarted Clinton. Give him credit for that. Only time will tell what kind of a president he will be. I have one vote and one vote only as doe everyone else. I will vote for the person on the ticket who I think is best. I will not throw my vote away for spite or in anger. That is imature, childish and stupid.

Hillary Clinton put out blatant lies in a final effort to destroy Obama and get the nomination. Some of those lies I see repeated in these comments, such as people saying she "got more votes" (she didn't) or that Obama "didn't have enough delegates to win the nomination" (he did) or that Obama fought to exclude Michigan and Florida from counting (he didn't).

A lot of her underhanded and duplicitous attacks – also full of distortions, misquotes, and outright lies – are now being used against Obama by the McCain campaign, which most of us saw coming.

Why anybody has any sympathy for the Clintons at this point is beyond me. They chose to throw the "kitchen sink" at Obama and destroy the party in an effort to get the nomination, and it seems now that some of her supporters and surrogates are more than happy to force the Democrats into party infighting.

If Obama loses in November, I don't think the party will blame Obama. I think they'll lay the blame at the door of the Clintons and her supporters. Hillary and Bill have blown through much of their political capital; I wonder if they've realized that yet, and that's why they're so angry.

Don't be angry at Obama be angry at Bush. Who has destroyed our country Bush or Obama? John Mccaon said himself that he has voted with Bush almost 100% of the time. Which means things will stay the same if he is elected. Channel you r anger to the right person. John McBush.Stop being so mad at Obama just for winning and picking who he wanted as his V.P.

shame on u cnn i will never come to watch your chanel again or come on here..why is it that you guys are trying to divide the party..u never stop reporting about hillary clinton..why why why???

Ok seriously all the Hillary Supporters have made me ashamed to even support Hillary once before. If she was not vetted they would have not called, they vetted her. Do you not remember the artcle when a source came out and stated Obama was vetting Hillary but, Bill does get in the way. Bill was a good presidenit but he made a lot of remarks he shouldn't have.

She was vetted she;s not the VP, I'd rather see her return to the Senate and focus on her Health Care plans.

Thank you, good-bye

Obama shows his true self in not selecting Hillary Clinton as his running mate. She was his best chance–and if he's so insecure about her strentgh–he should not be President of The United States of America–Period.

If you Hill supporters wote for her because she is a woman and she should be treated better than the others in the race, then you should not be able to vote period.
This is not a game poeple and thats for both parties. This is your country and it must be protected from all sides. Dont let your petty feelings distroy your minds with hate and your country

Cnn, please stop dividing our party. This is not responsible journalism!

Why all the speculation about why Barack did not pick Hillary? Maybe she really didn't want the VP spot. We will never know what they have discussed between closed doors. Maybe he has another place for her when he wins. On the far reaching side of things, maybe there is a Clinton conspiracy to elect McCain and then she will run again in 4 years. This would be hard to do if she were the VP pick and Obama lost. Lets focus on the positive, Obama is a new breed of politicians, our country desperately needs change and Biden is a fine pick for the VP spot. Stop the specualtion and focus on the issues.....

Friday August 23 is the day when Obama lost the election by his first most important deceision.

If Biden is such a great leader, why he polled less than 1% in each of the few primaries he ran?

Also, if Obama is such a case for change, why he has a VP candidate who is so old politics with 34 years of it?

If he has taken him (Biden) to cover his (Obama's) inexperience, is not he (Obama) admitting that experience counts and he (Obama) does not have it?

Also, why should Hillary supporter help Obama win if he cannot help himself by selectinga winning ticket?

I don't know if the media is inflaming bad blood between both camps of a segment of Hilliary followers who continue to display denial of reality. But this is getting old and very fast. To the 18 million who voted for Hilliary...I suggest all of you donate $1 each to provide her $18 million to settle her campaign debt.

Would you still be disappointed Jack as a white man, or latino man, or an asian man.
Could people stop bringing in their color, age, or gender into the discussion. If you respect independent thought, then that should have nothing to do with the argument you choose.

I AM A HILLARY SUPPORTER AND SO RELIEVED THAT SHE IS NOT ON THE TICKET PHEW!!! WHY WOULD SHE BE #2?? JOE BIDEN IS WAS OR IS OBAMA'S BOSS IN THE SENATE – WHY IS HE #2??? IN MY OPINION OBAMA SHOULD #2 OR NOT BE NOMINATED AT ALL

I agree, Hillary shud drop him 'Obama' like a hot potatoe!

Now, Joe Biden is the best thing since Slice Bread! No One, just no one noticed him when he was a Presidential Nominee – dropped out like a hot potatoe early in the Primary! Very Few Votes!!! Does this not speak volume.

Hillary won the hearts and minds of over 18 Million - isn't that significant?

It's not about Hillary or her supporter's feelings, which is a pretty sexist statement in itself. It's about Democrats winning the White House, which having a Obama/Clinton ticket would be the clearest path to victory. Unfortunately, Obama was too arrogant to swallow his pride and put her on the ticket. Hillary would have done it in a heartbeat if the positions were reversed. He needs her supporters but doesn't want to do what is necessary to get them. So he'll loose in November, and everyone will blame the Clintons. As usual.

I like Biden, but he isn't a game changer. I want Obama to win, and I'm doing whatever I can to make that happen, because I realize that we need a Democrat in the White House. But if Obama looses in November it is no ones fault but his own.

Mr. Jack Daniel's, you are a very wise man and what you have said is so true. The problem is that these young, first time voters are caught up in the "talk" of Obama...He has become a "rock star" in their eyes and they believe that he can fix our country by snapping his fingers.
Do I need to remind people that our House and Senate is mostly Democratic and Bush was still able to destroy our country....

His message of "change" just flew out the window and we are now back to the old school politics...Obama has now shown his weak side by picking Biden. I believe that Senator Biden is probably a good man with plenty of experience; however, people want change.
That change definitely would have been Obama/Clinton ticket and you would definitely feel the excitement in the air...
This ticket is boring and Hillary should have been told by Senator Obama personally, he showed no RESPECT to Senator Clinton and believe me, Obama is going to need her to win this election.

CNN just lost my blog on this.

Post it! Please. Tired of lost messages.

Obama dissed Hillary. He's intimidated and afraid of her popularity.
Picking her would have solved ALL his political problems. He would have gotten ALL her supporters...including this vote.....and her strong support also.

Who cares if he did not tell her himself. Hilary will serve a much stronger role in his cabinet. Things happen for a reason.

All Hillary had to do is vote no on this needless Iraq war and she would have been president.

That's the time we needed a leader before this war started. Instead of leading the people that were right, she followed the people that were wrong.

Sorry, Im voting for McCain. He should have picked Hillary.

Jack Daniels, Clinton and her supporters can not force the VP down his throat period. Clinton knew what she was doing, she made her bed so she will lie on it. She ran a very bitter election and let her deal with it. If her supposed supporters will not vote for Obama so be it. If Obama fails to win the white house their will be remorse towards the clintons forever. So the Clintons better start doing something for Obama to win.

Senator Clinton's decision to not put her name into nomination to contest Senator Obama's vice presidential choice should put to rest any and all speculation that Senator Clinton is a vindictive individual who is anything other than graceful under pressure and wants the democrats to win in November. While i completely disagree with the unconstitutional nature the democratic party has used to run the primary process, and believe me, as a delegate to the convention and a caucus worker in various states i saw just what unconstitutional tactics were used by the Obama campaign to try to win this nomination, i am worried that the Democrats, and the American people in general, are willing to allow a campaign that has used illegal means to win an election to replace an administration that has used illegal tactics to try to run and win a war in Iraq and engage in various nefarious activities in the United States. How can the American people be so naive as to elect one fraudulent leader, Barack Obama to replace another fraudulent leader, George W. Bush. Do the ends really justify the means used to accomplish them? I stand by the principles I was raised with and the principles of the American constitution and say no way and no how. I want this country to be here when I am gone, just like it was here before I was on this earth.

RE: Lois. First, Obama didn't win the nomination. He didn't get the total number of delegates needed to win. When has that happened recently? It goes to show that he really isn't that strong of a candidate. Hillary conceded is what happened. She had the sense to see that the media, Oprah and Obama's money and the far left wing of the party were against her from the beginning. Funny how she started winning more primaries than Obama when his dirty laundry finally started getting some coverage. She also won the big states that Democrats need to take in November.
P.S It's not just women who are supporting Hillary. This man and many other Democratic men that I know are STILL in her camp. It seems that it is OK for you and the media to be sexist but please never say a word that could be construed as racist.
Oh well, your time to whine will come when you blame Hillary for your weak candidate's loss.

Enuf about her and her whiny, bigoted, selfish, supporters!

I for one am sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton. She's not in the race anymore, he doesn't owe her anything, it doesn't matter what she says or thinks at this point. I guess it's asking too much to expect her to show a little grace and dignity in accepting defeat. How often do we see stories of former GOP primary candidates pop up on the ticker? This Hillary business has become seriously ridiculous.

You know what, he led people to believe that Senator Clinton would be the VP pick and then he dumps her. I hope he loses , because he does not deserve to be president. Who is Joe Biden? A nobody who cant fight himself out of a paper bag. What does he bring to the party. Senator McCain will beat them.

CNN.,

When Bush took us to iraq where over 4000 of our men and women have died, you did not report the truth because you cited national security. When Bush lied to us over and over, you were quiet. Now you are reporting lies here and there to instigate a troubles among Americans and help a 72 years old man who loves war become president. Your network is so pathetic!

Hillary made her own bed, so now is time for her to sleep in it. The Clintons went against andObama with all they got by so doing Hillary could not be VP to Obama. If some Hillary supporters don't want to vote for Obama, then McOld will give them what they want: wonderful conservative supreme court justices who will tell you that God speak to them and take away many of the rights you have. We will bomb Iran and go to war will Russia. The economy will get worse etc.

Jack Daniels,

History will juge Obama well, not in the narrow views of some HRC supporters or some republicans pretending to be HRC supporters.

Why does this matter at all??

As a black man, I was disappointed by Obama's selection of Mr Biden as a Vice presidential nominee. I am not saying that he is a bad man but in the realm of this campaign, what does he bring to the table? I have always said that self destruction is in most cases as a result of envy and its self evident that Clinton haters who were very instrumental in electing Obama have won for now. But the big picture is ahead of us and I hope in the name of God that Obama continues to appease Hillary and her 18 million voters so that history will not regard him as one who dropped the ball after comming so close to the finish line.

Vote Obama.

She should drop him like a hot rotten potato, and she and her supportes parade against him. just because he's a democrat don't mean she has to back him. She and everyone else should think about country, and not just their party. If he jumps off a cliff is the rest of the party supposed to jump also? This country has gone to hell in a hand basket, and getting deeper.

Why does Obama "owe" Hillary anything? He won the nomination fair and square. Do you think if the tables were turned she would be thinking of Barack's feelings? Hillary and her supporters need to get over it and start focusing on getting a Democrat in the White House. All the whining from Hillary's camp just reinforces stereotypes about women.

Obama allowed silly ego and manipulations of Nancy Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, Daschle, and Oprah–to cost Democrats what could have been an easy win. Clinton was simply the ideal choice.

Who knows what God has in stock for all of us…but Obama blew it!!

I think GOP had a package 4 the so-called dream ticket! Now they have to throw it in the thrash can.

CNN what u guyz real want with this Hillary stories? U just want to divide our party. Hillary she done with this ticket u can save nothing, please live Obama alone!

Wow she really is bitter, how could she handle being president
I will cry my tears over the graves of all the soldiers killed when Mccain gets elected..

GET OVER IT, losing sucks but don't keep coming up with these crock stories about the poor Clintons...

Let's see, what can the Obama team do to humiliate her more.....bad enough she wasn't even vetted, but let's treat her like dirt and not even give her the courtesy of a direct call. Their campaign says one thing, about how great she is, then pull this *(&*& behind the scene.

How long is CNN going to fan the flames of this Hillary stuff?
Good Grief!! Move on to something important.
This election is very important, and CNN is becoming guilty of "Soap Opera" news.
