CNN

BORING CNN,

It's amazing that CNN constantly acts like this Presidential race is about THEM? NO ONE cares what CNN thinks!!! Bottom line. CNN is just reporting this nonsense for "ratings" purposes. Come on people, do you really think CNN is not ALL ABOUT CNN? The media networks are NOT about the TRUTHS, their ALL about their ratings and doing everything and anything to raise their numbers!!!

The best laid plans of mice and weasels often go awry.

Shame on you CNN!!!! What gives you the right to announce something that should have rightfully been Obama announcement to make, not yours. Now to be fair, you better do this to McCan't also.
Go ahead and print this one, if you dare, you have so protective of your blogs and "journalists" that you are actiing like Bush, anything negative toward your organizations can not get out. I use to respect you, byt you have gone too far this time.

what a bunch of cry babies.......sore losers are what I call those Hillary supporters who are still holding out........you know what......either you are a loyal democrat or go vote Republican and enjoy another 4 years of crap!!......by the way...........I've renamed CNN.....it's now the Crappy News Network.........if you're going to show McCain ads which are blatant lies and not denounce them and let the your viewers know that in fact they are lies then you are a worthless, disrespected news network and I will be following the rest of the campaign on alternate networks!!

Why are so many of you ditto heads buffons posing as unhappy democrats.We can all see through your childish crap.You people need to start thinking independly.Stop taking your marching orders from that that garish,overweight,impotent pig.

To the Hillary supporters,

You better think wisely before you vote McCain, if you care at all for Hillary. She is the ONE you will hurt the most. If we do not get a Dem. in the White House, her political career will be over. She will be blamed for this horrible mess we our in.
Please take the time and look at what Obama is offering you. If McCain is elected we run the chance of losing the women's rights that we have work so hard to get and now he has mentioned bring back the draft.
I would not be surprised if Hillary is given a cabinet position, if Obama is elected. but if you don't vote Obama, you will be taking that away from her too. Please if you truly love Hillary, vote Obama.

The media is destructive! Anything at any cost for a story........ makes me sick!

Hillary cant run a campaign. Obama cant keep a secret.

Now those 2 are just born leaders, arent they!! ROFL!

McCAIN IN 08/12

That's not something to be proud of CNN. The Obama campaign did an amazing job of keeping it quiet for as long as they did. Way to blow it for them.

John King, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR HAIR??????????????

You may be more balanced than FOX, and I wouldn't dream of listening to that lot. But as the years go by, I listen to CNN less and less, because of little things like this and big things like misreporting what happened in Georgia. There was a time when I got cable just so that I could watch CNN. No more!!!

With Hillary getting more votes (not superdelegates), I expect we will never hear again how Bush stole the election? I doubt it.

Where is the change? This is the same old politics different package. I shouldn’t have wasted my vote on him it March.

Childish move by CNN. Whe cares which media outlet released this info first? They should have respected the wishes of the Obama campaign.

I compare this to the 13 year old that sill has to find out what his or her Christmas present was before Xmas morning. Big deal.

@Open Your Eyes 2008

its time to move on. The rest of the world has moved on. We are in general election mode now. Its Obama or bust.

CNN is a speculation and spin company, not a news network.

Same old, same old. You people in the news just can't keep your mouth shut!!!!!!! Why could you not wait like the rest of us. The news media is part of america's problems!!!!

As a life long democrat, I would never be happier to vote for McCain.
DNC is making me sick! FUUUJ!!!
I will vote democrat after leadership change only...

McCain 2008!

Why was it so important to "break this news"? Why couldn't you let the millions of Americans that signed up for the e-mail and text alert enjoy it. At least it worked out for people on the east coast.

NOTE TO ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS...YOU LOST...FAIR AND SQUARE YOU LOST. SHE AGREED TO NOT COUNT FL AND MI UNTIL IT WAS APPARENT SHE COULD NOT WIN WITHOUT THEM. THEN IT WAS DISENFRANCHISED VOTERS AND ALL VOTES SHOULD COUNT. OPEN YOUR EYS AND LOOK AT IT FOR WAHT IT'S WORTH. POLITICS AND THE SAME OLD GAME OF I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU WHEN I NEED YOU

Love it.... the hate spews forth from the democrats on both sides. Should be an interesting week.

Big whoop.

This kind of boasting makes you look like fat heads.

I signed up for the VP text message, and the whole time the networks were scrambling to break the news of the choice, I was checking my phone before going to the TV. I got the news in the morning from my text message. Sorry CNN

Obama/Biden '08

I tried all day yesterday to get this posted, but couldn't get it past moderation.

So now we see McCain courting the PUMAs. I'm sure he'll find some stupid and vengeful enough to throw their hat into his ring, but only if they want their children and grandchildren to die in his wars and want to return us to the era of back-alley abortions. I hope the majority will do the right thing and vote for anyone BUT him.

The smart ones will remember his disdain of Hillarycare and realize that 4 more years of Republican rule will further deteriorate this country, economically, globally and morally.

PLEASE BE SMART.

Sorry but she is still more qualified. Biden's a good choice to but I'm still voting for the top spot not a VP, so it will be McCain. Don't want a president who has no experience and has to rely on others for all the decisions. I want a PRESIDENT NOT A SPEAKER OR PREACHER.

wasn't this over 200 comments yesterday????

anyway, y'all PUMA's will fall for anything...and SHAME on CNN for instigating drama.

lets be real, the ENTIRE NATION DO NOT FALL ON est. time!!!! and obama's headquarters is located in chicago which is CENTRAL TIME....

the text messages started going out 2AM central...1AM mountain, and midnite pacific!!!

how could this be a SNUB at hillary? just because it coincidently hit the 3am mark eastern??? give me a break

McCain in 2008! He wont be texting Russia @ 3AM he will be knocking on the front door and telling Puttin to behave himself.

Good Morning, Why all the hate? It is what it is. Life, has a plan and it is bigger than all of us. Sit back and watch the show, thats what it is, a show. As the saying goes the Believer is Happy and the Doubter is Wise.
Why most one put others down to raise one up? You who are anti war are spreading war with words with your fellow americans. Kindness. Peace. Love. Tolerance. This world is big enough for us all.

For those that want to vote for McCain, because Clinton is not on the ticket , think before you do it . you are doing it out of angry. you are only voting for the same thing we are going thur now. Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Although I was expecting one of the news outlets to break the story before hand, I was naive and kept my fingers crossed it wouldn't happen. I was disappointed to receive a breaking news text from CNN before the official announcement. It would be nice to return to a day where "mums the word".

Call out the national guard...

Its going to get messy out there in November.

The grammar in these comments ... sheesh!! These people vote and don't even know how to spell "KNEW".

Since when the GOP is all concern about Hillary, they really think the American people are fools. They are so mess up, they are trying anything to win. GOP, go home and take a NAP!

oh well. We can all play your childish games too....

I was so happy when i heard the news had broken in the middle of the night, the exact time obama didnt want it too as he didnt want anybody to be asleep. guess everybody was asleep....

Annie said: "And people still wonder why he is behind..."

Behind? I don't think so. Most major polls show him ahead in a close vote as far as the popular vote is concerned. And in the state polls, which reflects what the electoral college will do, Obama is winning.

The truth is that McCain will convince millions of Americans that he's a confused, angry and vulgar little man with a lot of money... he makes more progress with that every time he opens his mouth. I can't rule out the possibility that Obama might still commit some major gaffe or error, but failing that, he's going to win in November.

The 3 am release of the text message has nothing to do with a stab at Hillary Clinton and everything to do with the fact that they had to get out the message as early as possible. Why? They screwed up. You would have had to not watch any news or be completely dumb not to have known it was going to be Biden. Every other potential nominee was carrying on like it was any other day, but Biden's entire family was driven or flown in before Saturday. It became like a reunion sans the balloons. Great surprise guys! Didn't see that one coming

Forgot to mention, how MCCain is playing on the emotions of the Clinton supporters.. DO YOU THINK THEY REALLT WANTED HER AS THE VP WELL THEY DID, AND THEY WOULD HAVE RIPPED HER TO SHREDS.

It appears that the childish, immature behavior is being displayed by Clinton supporters, not Obama. I agree with Mary Hussein that Ms. Clinton's campaign was not a well-run one, which led to her defeat. And thinking that the Republicans are behind PUMA–give me a break! More sour grapes (without any evidence it is uninformed opinion).

As an independent, I am amazed at the support Hilary Clinton has, despite the tarnished legacy she and her husband have provided presidential historians, but it just proves the point that most voters are ignorant of issues and character and focus more on personality and "likeability"–which is how most presidents get elected.

I don't have a horse in this race, but I think Obama's choice of Joe Biden (a well-regarded and respected man on both sides of the aisle) helps build in that experience factor. It's true in both politics and business: surround yourself with people smarter than you and weigh their counsel wisely..something the Bush Administration failed to do on all accounts.

This is latest from other CNN story.

* Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters - registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee - are now backing Obama. That's down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.*

27% of Hillary supporter will vote for John McCain. So 54% impact on Sen. Obama votes. Basically, there will be only gain of 10% (1.8 millions added vote to Sen. Obama).

McCain needs to get only 20 million votes (may be 20.5 million as repbulican African Americans will vote for Obama) to win election 2008. Congratulations Mr McCain.

Clinton Lost...................... or wait, maybe she didnt. Maybe Al Gore is the president too. Get over it.

Shame on you. You could'nt wait.

why is this news? who cares when it went out or how. why do you insist on reported about trivial stuff?

NICE TRY. Either they meant to do it and the press is helping the Obama camp cover it up or they really screwed up and made it look like a dig to Sen. Clinton. Either way, the Obama camp fumbled.

If this Biden guy is the running mate, lets hope that these same wonderful, intelligent Americans that voted Bush in vote for Obama at all...Clearly vote 4 ANYONE but MCBOMB!

According to the video I have seen, of John Roberts going nuts, waiting for the text message.

I don't think you pulled off a "coup."

Even if you did, would this be something to "strut" about?

Why don't you just do what you are supposed to do - report the news?

What else is new?

Obama can make all the "swipes" he wants at Hillary. He is going to lose to McCain and Hillary will be president in 2012....unless the DNC manages to screw things up AGAIN.

In hindsight now, what's the big deal? If it were Sen. Obama's strategy to release the name of his VP pick at 3:00 a.m., it would of definitely had a better impact, however, since it wasn't released at 3:00 a.m. because it had became known by CNN before then, we can only view CNN as the spoilers.

Just because CNN was the first to make the official announcement of Obama’s running mate, doesn't make them the best news casters on television. I credit them with their coverage of this election year, but they too at times undermine Sen. Barack Obama's campaign strategy. Whose to say their inside intelligent didn’t come from the Hillary Clinton camp, or one of the disappointed selectees on Obama's short list. Even though those considered for the VP spot all say it's more about serving your Country then a job with a purpose, the odds are at least one of them would fill a little upset over it.

Betcha Wolf had a little shudder of joy when that happened. What a bunch of tools.

...NOBODY CARES! GET TO THE ISSUES, NOT THE BS!

Hell hath no fury....

I have to wonder how many of these angry supposed ex Hillaryites are actually Republicans trolling for fights. Hillary wants supporters to vote for Obama. She gave her delegates over to Obama. She lost the primary, Michigan and Florida or not. She conceded. And no wishful thinking will get her on a ballot in 2012.

There's absolutely no reason Obama would take a swipe at Hillary with his veep announcement, and they all made it pretty clear that she wasn't in the running for the slot.

The media will sink any chance for Obama to get elected in the end.

Just a coincidence? 3am is commonly referred to as "Dead Time" in paranormal research circles. It is referred to as Dead Time, because it is thought to be the most active time for spirits, demons, paranormal activity, etc.

That was a smart move by Obama and His campaign I will send him 50 dollars because Biden was the best pick Obama could have Choosen Senator Biden is an Attack Dog that we need because Obama can't get his hands to dirty! Obama/Biden 08 12

Why do all the Hillary supporters talk like this...Like they are somehow breaking headlines... learning more right now. No wonder she couldn't run a good campaign.... half of suppters illiterate... why doesn't media talk about this?

She knows to win is 2012 she has to throw race.... suck at life.... cry about mistreatment....big news. Foaming at the moth Hillary supporters.... please shut up.... you are like that guy at the christmas party that is getting a little too drunk for the social setting..... tone it down.... don't reproduce.... more in 10 minutes...

Another case of the self serving corporate media making the news rather than reporting it.

Maybe it doesn't really matter since the socalled elections are nothing more than a political version of "Worldwide Wesling Entertainment" (WWF)

A show and nothing more.

Am disappointed to find out that it was originally going out at 8:00 a.m. I absolutely loved that it went out at 3 a.m., and thought that was intended. It was the perfect answer to the rediculous 3 a.m. ads put out during the "debates".

As to that being a "stab" at HIllary, consider it a delayed riposte.

Once again, the media – and their big-business corporate owners – manufacture the news. You certainly don't go out an report it, now that headline news is dominated by right-wing screamers and the regular news is all talk and no reporting.

Nobama might be the "nominee" but I can still write in Hillary's name

CNN, don't sound so proud...you are beginning to toot your own horn much like the FOX propaganda machine. You have definitely lost your journalistic integrity in the opinion of educated Americans.

I'm SURE that WAS an intended swipe at Hillary, Obama sending that announcement out at 3AM. He's been doing SO MUCH FLIP-FLOPPING, changing his GOALS such as, "Searching and searching for someone who can lead the country..." when he knew full-well that Hillary fit that description! that HE IS A DIFFERENT PERSON than he tried to portray.

Didn't PUMA raise something like 50 grand for Hilary? So much for 18 million strong. Go vote for McCain and turn the clock back to the 1950's. We don't need you.

Hillary, at this rate, her chances for her current senate seat in New York is looking pretty shaky. Bill is no longer loved in Harlem. The Clintons are on the outside looking in and cant figure out how they got there....but after writing out checks to the tune of $12 million for her struggling campaign and now, knowing of all the infighting with the eglomaniacs of McAuliffe, Wolfson, Carville and Penn...why in the world would anyone want that group heading the country?? They couldn't handle a darn primary.

And you're proud of this, why? My daughter, just turning 18 and voting in her very first election, was so disappointed not to have received that text, and upset with CNN for spilling the beans. But it's more important for you to get the story first. Shame on you.

Maybe Hillary, has been promised another position in Obama, cabinet. I'm sure that all were considered for the VP pick.The best for the position was picked.

Is it really news that news organizations like CNN have no respect for anyone?

I can't believe people are still talking about Florida and Michigan. Even with those votes counted in full she wouldn't have won the popular vote. Either you accept the result of the popular vote or you admit that you don't really think democracy works.

I do both.

Why is CNN crowing about this? Getting enough gossip half a day before a candidate to reveal something that the candidate would have revealed doesn't seem like "front page" news. Isn't there any real news for CNN to report?

Have any of you HRC supporters listened to the way mccain answers every question asked of him?? It is always answered with a "military" tone. Does that not tell you that he will not only remain in Iraq as long as possible, but look until he finds another war to begin?? If you have sons, grandsons, nephews, etc., do you want to be responsible for putting their lives in danger??

Do you want someone who thinks 5million dollars is what it takes to make you rich forming an economic policy??

If you have thought these questions through and still insist on voting for 4 more years of bush-maybe you should seek some counseling-you need it!

White grandma who wants a better future for Americas' youth!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08

First, Obama kept pointing to McCain's age as being 'too old'. Then Obama goes and hires a VP just as old!!! Second, Obama has touted "Change" and getting rid of the Washington 'insiders'. Then he hires a VP that has been a 'Washington insider' for over 30 years!!!!
Does Obama have any clue on what he is doing??? Does anyone REALLY want this guy running our country???

YES WE CAN!

OK CNN, enough. You've been tooting your own horn since Wolf and his "excellent reporters" (gag) opened the Situation Room. How much overdramatic flapdoodle are we going to have to stand from you this next week? You all think you look so important with your laptops open, giving your opinion on everything from Biden to bathroom breaks. Give me a break! I'm watching MSNBC!

CNN and the media is weak. What is the point in breaking a story like this before a candidate intends to release the news? It is nothing less than meddling and invasion of privacy. I would feel the same if it was done on McOldwar's side ... it's just the point of meddling which is lame.

Yawn. I don't see this your early release of the VP is somethin to brag about. Just another example of excesses by the media.

I am amazed still at these so called Hilliary backers still promoting hate for Obama I wanted Hillary as the VP and that did happen so I had to get over it. We need to unite democrats. It is not about Obama calling out to Hillary supporters it is about you getting over yourselves. It is about us and beating McCain, beating McCain! Stop whining and start doing. We have the chance to do do something and that is to win the whitehouse.

Some of you people way too much time on your hands.

Open Your Eyes 2008 – I have opened my eyes and seen hillary for the egomaniac, power tripping, could care less about the people, the party or her country maniac she is. Fortunately for people like you and her that have guarenteed she will never win another election again I dont have to worry about seeing her horrible face any longer.

CNN is acting just like FOX these days, I wonder if rating has something to do with it.

OK – CNN gets a scoop. Obama gets biased coverage. We get it!

Who cares... I was first, I was first... pathetic.

CNN, this is nothing to be proud of. Why does the media keep doing this? Just to be the one to "break" the story? Why don't you just let things unfold the way they are planned to unfold?

Ok CNN- Stop patting yourself on the back. This has been oin the ticker for too long. This is not news.

And for teh Hillary supporters still crying. Put your money where your mouth is and pay off her debt if you really support her. Where are her 18 million supposed supporters?

CNN this is funny. You had the same story on yeasterday. All you did was erased those that answered yesterday and replaced it with people answering today. Why did you rerun this story? It is old and by the way, 3 AM was a deliberate swipe at Hillary. Only a fool would believe that it was a coincidence. Obama is an old dirty smear politician who will get his just reward, losing in November if he keeps this up.

Who cares about Obama's annoucement of VP Candidate. My vote now goes to McCain.

One of 18 million Hillary Supporters.

3AM is a swipe at Hillary Clinton!!! Who aired that ad in the first place?

In any case, it's a stretch since everyone knows that Obama planned to send a text message, and everyone knows that CNN scooped them. Alls fair in politics, but it's completley reasonable to believe that the Obama campaign had to act fast with the text messages.

Not only a stab at Clinton bot at McCain as well, remember, he dosen't work on weekends, that means he won't answer the phone at three a m on a saterday or sunday.

CNN hope you are real proud of yourself. You keep Edwards affair out
of the new for months on end. You just had to stick your nose in this one.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo Obama and will not vote for him no matter. We are not blind by hate, it is very simple we know how that was unfair and we will not follow DNC stupidity

Obama will be even more upset when CNN announces that McCain has won the presidential election

Your right on target Willam something else the b.s.er never does when he is being interviewed is look at the camera or the person giving the question he looks at the floor. That is sign of weakness or you are lying .GOOOOOO NADER, MCSHAME, ANYONE EXCEPT B.H.O.

I am very excited about Joe being picked for VP. He will challange Obama on issues. Unlike cheney he will not be a yes man or rubber stamp to what ever Obama says which is a great thing. Anyway, I see the re-thugs are at work thins morning...spreading your lies about Obama not being qualified or he cannot be trusted. Keep up the smear tactics...it won't work with me or my friends. I'm sure you can still get to the people re-pugs hate most....the normal working guy.
Hope ya'll have a nice day! GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!!

I was always thinking that Americans are educated people,

but what I've seen during this election process in America and after

reading a lot of comments in this blog , i realize that most of the Amis are

Dumb as their president Bush and all this Republicans P.U.M.A

Hillary is not smart !!!!!! so-called supporting Obama but ok'd her name be in the "pot" she will never be THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!

I am amazed to hear on cnn that if obama loses this election Hillary will be blamed. The blame should go to the Kennedy,s. Carolyn and Ted. They are running Obama. They are the cause of all this friction. They will do anything to make sure the Clintons are not in power. Shame on you cnn for not looking into and reporting on the power of the Kennedys in this.

And you are proud of this ... You know, consumer news is really getting to be irrelevant.

You know, as much as I'm for party unity, the Hillary Clinton Supporters need to just acquiesce to the nomination of Barack Obama & call it good. The FL & MI delegates need to be grateful they're even being allowed a voice at the DNC. They should humbly and uncontrovertedly put their support behind Barack, regardless of the fact that their pick (Clinton) was so unethical as to put her name on those states' ballots when both candidates agreed NOT to. These 9th hour stunts to attempt to divert attention from the presumptive nominee are, candidly, pathetic. SHE LOST! GET OVER IT!! And for everyone of the disgruntled Hillary-ites who feel slighted by Obama's pick of Biden as VP–do you honestly expect me to believe that she'd have chosen OBAMA as HER VP had she secured the required delegate count?! HMMMMM.....Wise Up America!

i am sick of hillary clinton and her insane followers. this race is no longer about her yet she wants to dominate his stage. as an obama supporter i am beginning to feel like we are less important to him than the idiots that he has to deal with trying to make hillary happy.
i think most of us are feeling a little left out right now so obama better be careful and show us a little love here. the news only wants to talk about HILLARY AND HER FOLLOWERS but let me tell you something folks.......it was barack obama followers that got him to this CONVENTION ...NOT HILLARYS CLAN. REMEMBER US OBAMA, YOU STILL NEED US!! CNN...STOP TALKING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON! THIS IS OBAMA'S TIME!

Toot Toot...it is so nice when a news agency toots their own horn. We reported something first! Woo hoo! Sometimes, it is more important to report things accurately instead of quickly. How many times have we seen CNN report something incorrectly, a half-truth or just one sided. Shame on you CNN, you should NOT be proud of this (or many other things).

Its funny how our standards for President have droped in the last 20 yrs. We have elected a C student to run our country, and its caught up with us. But I have to say If we elect JOHN MCCAIN who is a D student. WE get what we deserve !!

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter but I will not vote for obama and biden because I don’t want the same old politics to change there is no unity for us I don’t like the war in Iraq but we are there and we need protect the innocent from Iran we need a plan mccain has a real one I just wish the candidates would talk more on the economy and immigration I believe the only fair tax is the one where everyone pays the same% and illegal immigrants are give a chance for a clean slat and a green card if they start paying taxes and local and state governments to not get federal funding while they break the law and harbor illegal activities
I know its just one voice but I want it to be loud

CNN didn't break the story. Whoever the inside source on Obama's team was that confirmed it broke the story.

To all you Obama Supporters:

Why is it okay for Obama to want all the delegates from Michigan and Florida to get their full votes now (when he needs them) but it was not okay for Hillary? She never said they should not have their votes counted. She agreed not to campaign there and did not, but the Almighty Obama not only ran ads but now wants the full votes! You are all a bunch of hypocrits! And please don't tell us Hillary supporters that him releasing the text at 3AM had nothing to do with her ad, we were not born yesterday. I have not liked him since day one, he is as arrogant as his wife and as a long time Democrat I do not feel he can lead this great country of ours so therefore why would I vote for someone I don't believe in. This has nothing to do with Hillary but everything to do with him. If your candidate had lost you all would not be any happier than we are. This goes for any backer of a candidate who ran and did not win. But to demand that we vote for someone who we do not believe in and call us names will certainly not help and not make us change our minds. Last time I checked this was a free country and people had a right to do what they feel is right!

I am 55 years old and still do not understand why News organizations think they have to be FIRST with the news? What is the big deal if Joe Biden's name is announced at 12:42 AM or 8:AM? News organizations talk about being FIRST, fall over each other over who's FIRST and then give awards to the channel/newpaper/radio show/reporter who "broke the story". I can understand that 50 years ago, CBS may have reported on Telstar and NBC didn't have it for another 24 hours, but today we are talking minutes.

Why are we (YOU ) still talking about HIllary....WAKE UP, she sis not WIN, GET OVER yourself. I was once a Hillary supporter, and after I truly listen and COMPREHEND what was being told to me, I made an INTELLIGENT DECISION. Like many of us, and being a WOMAN, my vote was because she had a SORRY HUSBAND, but my thoughts are she was not and IS NOT in the dark of her HUSBAND's infidelity. As you can see, she is still with him. LIKE MANY OTHERWOMEN. I am voting on the issues that will benefit my family and I not based on RACE, SEX, RELIGION, etc, all those things that is considered a volation of EEO.

Hillary ran the bet fight she knew how, unfortunately, it was not enough.

Those of you that are still angry, if it is 18,000 or so; why not send her a contribution to help clear her debt. I am sorry, that will become a tax write off. Stop gripping and complaining, it is OLD.

Chris, you said:

Just so everyone know – PUMA = funded by the republicans.

Don't let them hijack the democrat party. They are disguising as Hillary supporters.
****************************************************************************
You're a moron, you really are! I'm not being funded by anyone. I, like millions of other's am just choosing my country over 'the party'. Obama is not capable/fit to be President of US. Therefore, I'll do whatever I need to do to get people to support the other guy (McCain). Also, yes, there still is some 'bitterness' there, as we do feel Hillary Clinton was pushed aside/bullied by her own party.

Just wait till November Chris. What will you do then when you see that millions of Clinton supporter's crossed over for McCain. What then, will we all be racists?

See Hillary is being smart and is playing it by the books. She know in order for her to win in 2012 she has to support Obama.

Because she know she will need Obama supporters down the road. It's her supporters that is blined by hate.

Yeah right!

The Obama camp new exactly what they were doing releasing the news at 3 a.m.

Another stab at Hillary.

Obama is such a vindictive childish egotistical candidate.

And people still wonder why he is behind......it's HIS EGO and childish behavior.

'Open Your Eyes 2008'

Your eyes are still closed if you are still talking about FL and MI votes at this time. It's a surprise people cannot accept the reality that Clinton lost and just move on except they are using it for an excuse for something else in them they cannot boldly mention (being racist?).

This election is not about Clinton or Obama but the USA. You can go vote for McCain if that suits you or else shut up.

...and what a coincidence, it just happened to be 3 AM when they decided to send it out. I don't believe it and I'm sure MANY other Clinton supporter's don't buy it either!

The Obama people know that the '3 AM' thing is getting criticized right now, so now they're trying to cover it up, making it look like they were forced to send the text out at exactly 3 AM. Right!!

This will be the second time in my adult life that I don't vote for my party's nominee. I wont vote McCain, but I just can't vote for the Obama/Biden ticket.

You know the old saying, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS". That's exactly what's happening here.

PLEASE don't waste your vote. PLEASE, don't write Hillary in...vote McCain. Tell the DNC that we won't stand for their strong arm tactics.

If not now...
2012 is the year for Hillary.

Um, "Open your Eyes," it's Hillary who's been pushing for this, not Obama.... it's a concession HE made to HER. And, no, that doesn't mean she wins. Remember, super-delegates? Rules? A country built on the rule of law?

Maybe because all candidates agreed not to campaign in MI or FL because those states chose to ignore the primary schedule?! If you can't play by the rules....Hillary lost because she couldn't manage her campaign finances and in general, ran a lousy campaign – thank you, Mark Penn. By writing off the caucus states and by not planning for any state after Feb 5th, she was out-smarted and out-strategized. Obama's agreement to seat ANY delegates from either of those states was a magnanimous gesture at the time. We all need to get it together as Democrats, or the Republicans will again steal the White House and this country will not survive four more years of Bush's policies, both economic and foreign.

Because thats not what this article is about. Maybe thats it?

"Some Republicans and others suggested that Obama’s 3 a.m. ET email had been intended as a deliberate swipe at Hillary Clinton, who ran a primary season ad that referenced that hour of the morning to make the case she was more qualified to handle a breaking crisis."

That woman.... Hillary Clinton, needs to get over it.

To Open Your Eyes 2008.

Why don't you open your eyes, they broke the rules.

I just woke up and I'm smelling the fresh cup of coffee in my hand...you should do the same; Hilliary Rodham-Clinton will not be the president of the United States. Nancy Pelosi has a better chance. Get over it already.

I was a disappointed at CNN. You would think they could have just waited to get their text like everyone else.

Once Barack knew who his running mate was going to be he should have informed those that were not selected and notified the public instead of toying around with it. I think it was really silly the way in which this was handled.

Just so everyone know – PUMA = funded by the republicans.

Don't let them hijack the democrat party. They are disguising as Hillary supporters.

Well, unfortunately, it looks like we will have at least 4 more years of the Republicans thanks to Obama's lack of leadership and poor choices !!! I WILL ALWAYS BE FOR CLINTON !!

Yes, those crazy folks over at the Obama campaign are decided that mocking Clinton this late in the game would somehow aid them push their guy to victory. That's really just plain silly. People need to make informed judgments about issues in this campaign. Sadly, we often get caught up in political soap operas. Any Clinton supporter who really prefers McCain to Obama obviously doesn't care about issues and is more concerned about issues of identity politics. We know what the Republican party platform is and what the Democratic party platform is. The nominee of each party reflects those platforms. I'm not voting for Obama because he's Black or because I think he's the perfect candidate, I'm voting for him because he's not another Republican offering us more of the same course.. We simply can't afford more of the same. If former Clinton voters can't resolve their bruised feelings after a tough race, I fear for the future of the Clinton legacy, Hillary's career, Obama's candidacy, my children, America, and the world as a whole.

Can you say Spin....So where is this change that Obama keeps talking about wait here it is:
FL and MI, Your votes don't count, wait they do now but half, wait but now thats its to late we will count them in fill...btw.....Get the news media to talk about this, Hilary wins. Remember when the super delegates said they would vote for whoever had the most delagates count, while by reinstating the counts of Fl and MI, Hilary wins. Even if you look at MI alone, they had 128 delegates, and Obama was not on the ticket, so she gets the vote. Why is media not talking about this…?

so would you be the first to announce McCAins running mate. I really dont know what to think of CNN these days. Wolf Blitzer was my favorite and I did admire Jonathan Mann. Forgive me if I am wrong it seems Wolf has become a Republcan talking. The Situation room remains my most favourite CNN program. Mr. Blitzer please dont drive me away, where would I get my reporting from. FOx News?

Hey-real nice of you guys-disregard Obama's plan-disrespect those of us sighned up for text or e-mail. Do you plan on following him at Christmas to tell his kids what Santa bought them, too?

glad you guys were on this one. you should only have worked as hard covering all the scandals in the Bush administration, you bunch of geniuses!!!

yeah right... this is very sadistic on the part of Obama camp.

This was an attempt to mock the "3:00am phone call at white house" ad of Hillary for President campaign.

This guy should be DJing the Democratic Convention. Coolest Obama video EVER!!!!!!

Yeah right, so knowing that 3:00 am would look like a dig they couldn't have done it at 2:00 or 4:00, give us a break. Obama has already shown the world that his ego will not be bruised.

War with Iraq? Crickets. Obama's VP? Relentless investigating and reporting.

Do you see something wrong with this picture?

Obama was desperate because he does not know a thing about foreign policy that's why he chose Biden thinking that it will encourage more white people to trust him. I think it should be the president who is most familiar with the way of running things, instead of relying on political advisors.

I really find it hard for CNN to justify this. They seem to relish in their ethical ranking of just a hair above Fox News. This network used to actually care about the news, not ratings. Now they have Wolf Blitzer creating and stirring up news. Time to turn to BBC news. So long CNN.

I have never seen the mainstream media circle their wagons around a candidate like this in my entire life.
If Obama doesn't win this election with this election just off all the media support he gets, it's really saying something.

When did the world start revolving around the Clinton's?

In this election process we've been witness to the destruction of the Democratic Party. Isn't this what you wanted Donna Brazile? You made a similar statement in 2004.

What has been happening, is one of the largest movements in the history of the United States, against one candidate, Barack Obama. No one could get the leadership of the DNC to listen, nor to have them fully vet Senator Obama.

It started out as a small group in 2007. This group got together to do common research which turned into a bombardment of documented research. There is no question why Obama doesn't discuss the truth regarding his past and present live. And, the media sugar coated every move of this candidate never reporting the truth.

We continually warned the DNC and pundits what was happening. We were ignored. We are now a huge population of this nation who do not particpate in polls or continually waste our time trying to convince the media "why" we won't vote for him. We have been called several names by the media and Obama supporters, but we true Democrats have not left the party; the party left us.

You can take this message and accurately report that 8.8, as of mid-June did not support Obama. You won't catch this amount in polls, but trust this figure for now. You will know come November the accuracy of our defection. No one will stay home. We will send a message to all that we the people will not be lead to vote for a candidate that is so questionable. The Clintons cannot influence our votes, so stop blaming them and put the blame where it honestly belongs–on YOU.

I have never heard so many excuses for Obama not doing well.
I am one Hillary voter and I will not give that vote to Obama. He hasn't earned it so I will vote for McCain.
