CNN

Stephaine deserves to be honored. She is a true LOYAL woman.
Stephanie, you ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vote Clinton in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are no "Democrats for McCain" - just GOP operatives and their wannabes trying to influence the election through their usual natural-born deception.

Imagine "The Lord of the Rings'" Wormtounge character wearing a "McCain" button, and you'll have a pretty clear picture of these bottom-dwellers.

congresswoman stephanie tubbs jones rest in peace. i will miss your smile. i was a big fan,you were a true democrate and a true friend,you stood with hillary till the end,you were special . unlike one judas richardson i know . rest in peace and god bless you.

I love America that is why I support Obama.

For those you think that the Dems in Congress has done nothing, as an active duty member of the military; who will be attending college after serving my country without going into debt for a change. Now that's a major accomplishment for Congress!
Nuff said.

she was a great woman.. i am proud of her service and pray for her family for comfort and peace.

I liked her, she was devoted to Clinton until the end. She will be greatly missed.

Democrat for McCain

She was a great woman. Yes, she wanted Hillary for Prez. But she lost. And Steph accepted it. And threw her support to Barack, as a True Democrat would. Period.

Thank you to all those posting respectful comments about Stephanie Tubbs Jones. The day it was reported she was removed from her car and transported to the hospital in grave condition, it was so disheartening to read the mendacious, horribly mean spirited flood of remarks people posted in that blog. We can ardently disagree about politics for reasons that are unique as each of us, but reading hateful personal remarks as she die just to make a point? So just a nice thank you for finding something respectful to say about a lost life without a political debate.

To all you TRAITORS, hillary WILL NOT WIN IN 2012, she wont even be considered, her presidential dreams will be crushed after this years poorly run campaign and she should take full responsibility for that. The best course of action as reasoning adults is to stick to your party and place your vote where it will do america the most good, the time for tantrums IS NOT NOW!!!!!!

Dean will be fired in November.

after some of these comments I find some of you very stupid. In the moment of honoring a fallen democrat, some of you close with "mccain 08" is ridiculous. If this is what this world has become, then it deserves what it gets.

If McCain wins because of his nasty ads and media coverage from Hannity, Rove, Ann Coulter, Bush, Cheney
we CAN KISS AMERICA GOODBYE. If McCain wins, it is because
people are out working too hard to hear the real McCain story.
The young people only hear "soundbites" of the lies that McCains
ads are "featuring" Like Obama will raise our taxes. No folks, not
yours or my daughters, who makes $10.50 an hour, Obama will
raise the rich peoples taxes.
McCain voted against equal pay for women and God only knows
why the minimum wage is becoming similar to China's pay for
the not so fortunate hard workers in their country. The minimum
wage in our country is a SIN. Obama will fix that. Wal-Mart and
the Oil companies, make all the billions and we fools keep voting
for the GOP's that make all this possible for the rich. They rob
the land and can run to live in Dubai if it gets too bad in our Country.

She would be ashamed of all you PUMAs .. she stood for the democratic ideals , not the person running. You will all be sorry if Mccain is elected ...It is very likely even if he has one term that he will have the opportunity to nominate a justice to the supreme court .. A certain lasting legacy you will have imposed on your daughters and granddaughters...so stop treating your vote as if it were a vote for American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.. You have the opportunity to enhance our country by empowering the Democratic Party

May God Bless Our Congresswoman.

Obama is doing what he said he would, running a respectable campaign and pulling people around him who will do the same.
McCain on the other hand seems to know only the politics of distortion and attack, attack, attack. Tragically this Rovian style campaign works with some. But wait -- we watched W and his crowd define and then refine the politics of distortion and attack -– what happened? They won an election but could never, never govern the country. We're left with a country on the edge of mayhem. It's sad to see the once respected Senator from Arizona stoop to this level and follow in W's footsteps in so many ways -– except the winning of an election part, I trust. It is deplorable to think that the electorate could fall for this stuff again in 2008 - we can't afford 4 more years of Bush-McCain.

DEAN IS RESPONSIBLE for the Obama Nomination where he stoled from Hilary and now they want all to be forgoten ,,,NOT A CHANCE
I will not vote for McCain and NOT a chance I will vote for OBAMA
So I will just write Hilary's name on the ballot in NOVEMBER..

WE WANT A REAL LEADER, NO PUPPET!!!!!!!!

HILLARY, WE LOVE YOU. YOU ARE THE ONE FOR OUR NATION!

Luis, they let you out of the asylum again didn't they? And the first thing you did was go off your meds.

Hope all your neighbors have their pets and small children safely indoors.

Why is the race so close according to the polls?

Because young voters are not being polled, Hispanics are not being polled, working women are not being polled and working educated males are not being polled.

The pollsters called and who are the only ones who can answer?...seniors and stay-at-homes women who are either rural or wifes of rich guys. Also, nobody answers the phone anymore in the evenings especially after the marvel of caller ID.

So to any of those polls please add at least 5-7% points and that's Obama's real numbers.

The Village Idoit has kicked it off!

One Democrat worth honoring.

I just watched a CNN I-thing showing a Dem trashing an Independent Clinton follower like me.

Keep it up, Dems!

Keep it up!

If you wonder why Obama loses, it is because of the total trashing of Hillary's supporters, those who are still Dems and those who got smart and became Independents!

If you kiddies would learn to shut up (like you didn't do in high school), maybe your candidate could win.

Rest In Peace Delegate Jones, and thank you for being a respectful part of the process, unlike some of Hillarys supporters, who are denigrating your good name with their looney posts and their threats to support McCain.

Great tribute Dean.

As for PUMA, whoever they are; she would be turning in her grave for what this organization of non-Clinton supporters is trying to do to the Democratic party. She would not approve of these fake Democrats supporting McCain.

Why is CNN not showing the speeches leading up to the headliners, to all the viewers and not just for those folks with lap tops............

Vegas August 25th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

She wanted Hillary for president… Rest in Peace…

Vote McCain 08…. Clinton 12
——————————————————————————————-

Yeah, you do that…vote McCain '08 and we'll see how far Hillary gets in 2012 without Obama's supporters. She can't even get out of the primaries without us retard. It takes more than "18 million votes" to win a primary..narrowminded brainfart.. she will need us just as much as Obama does now.

May sen., Jones, rest in peace.
This country has made a terrible mistake by not leaving, Hillary, with the dem. nomonee. Come November, I'm writing in: Hillary Clinton. It's not that I don't like, Obama, but I like, Hillary, better. She would be a great, President.

God, bless us all.

Many comments on this board demonstrates the hate and disrespect so many people have for their fellow human beings. I refuse to believe these people, who are so hatefully ignorant are HRC supporters. The only party that harbors such extremism is the Republican Party, represented by the Bush puppet McCain. Their vehicle for promotion of such hate and discontent is CNN/FOXNEWS. All brought to you by the Master Drumbeater of the War and The Election of John McCain...Wolf Blitzer.

this is to thought Hillary would say something by now-you are obviously another uninformed Obama supporter. Hillary sent out a wonderful e-mail filled with praise and love for her friend. Why don't Obama supporters at least try to base what they say in facts instead of constant ignorance, and why doesn't CNN publish e-mails negative to Obama. It should be called the Obama loving network!

The Democrats are together !!! And the R's are down the drain with McCain.

YEEEEEHAAAAAAAA

Vote McCain or join the insane.........

AMERCIANS , WATCH CNN'S LOU DOBBS' INDEPENDENT PROGRAM CONVENTION IN SEPTEMBER.. ALONE AND ABOVE THE OBAMA FAWNING , PANDERING NETWORK REPORTERS
, LOU DOBBS HAS BEEN THE INDEPENDENT VOICE WE SORELY NEED IN THIS MEDIA BIASED ELECTION CAMPAIGNS.
LISTEN TO LOU DOBBS .

Thanks Dean.

As for those who are wondering where Hillary is, she's done interviews with the Cleveland press talking about STJ and their friendship, so HRC has been out talking about her friend.

And for those that want to make this a "she's good" or "she's bad" because of who she supported in the primary: shame on you. She was an amazing Congresswoman who served her constituents relentlessly but she was also, outside of that role, a good, honest human being and for both roles she should be honored, regardless of who she supported or didn't.

The Republican Party of Texas released a Web video Friday seizing on the story, in response to Obama’s earlier ad mocking John McCain for allegedly not knowing how many homes he and his wife Cindy own.

“Barack Obama has viciously attacked John McCain and his family for being successful and living the American dream,” the narrator says, as the ad then flashes up pictures of Obama body surfing and golfing.

“Obama claims he is looking out for our families in an economic downturn, but ask yourself this: If Obama cares so much about your family, why doesn’t he take care of his own family first?”

The ad then shows a picture of Obama’s stately Chicago home, and one of Onyango’s shack.

“Barack Obama lives in this house … while his own brother lives in this one,” the narrator says.

Hans Klingler, political and communications director for the Texas GOP, told FOXNews.com the organization wanted to point out that Obama has a history that still hasn’t been explored, as well as chide him for the Vanity Fair piece.

Would you please ask that wannabe Santa Clause "Blitzer"to lay off the "best news team " junk - I tuned in to watch the convention
activities -NOT A COMMERCIAL- Feed him some lines if he can't think of anything else to say.
Thanks

Dave

Why does everyone on CNN pronounce electoral as electORal. Merriam Webster sayd it is eLECtoral. Inquiring mind wants to know.

so RUSSIANS can play poker, as well as chess. RUSSIA BLUFFED AMERICA TOday! Like Bill Maher says, Americans are such lugs nuts.
If the USA CALLED and agreed to accept the Independence of Ossetia, just like they did; you would SEE them blink!
They could be sloooowwww played by throwing Tibet into the pot.
RUSSIA will have the RECORDED high ground in Georgia when the hand is over, because American foreign policy advisors are, as usual, stupid and wrong.
FYI McCain's puppet, Sackofshiltes criminal attack on Ossetia is the reason he is up in the polls. He would start a war with Russia to win an election. Americans, VERY mistakenly think he would be better than Obama in a War with Russia, the one his puppet started.

How dare you accuse PUMAs of not being true democrats. I've always voted Democratic and am a loyal CLINTON Democrat. But this nomination was stolen- by people like you.

will you idiots please stop repeating over and over and over that you are the Best Political Team on television. Please let the viewer decide that. You sound like a politician that states he is "honest and sincere." Well it is the same thing, if you have to tell us you are the Best Political Team on televsion, you probably are not.

Me and my family think that OBAMA is the next shooting star that is going to save and chang the world not only for blacks our yellows our whites but every color. John McCain cant be come the next President cause McCain is old and his favorite thing is warring with any thing and any one

how about Howard Dean also honoring Hillary Clinton for being the most capable and smart female to lead this county, shame on Howard Dean for the way Hillary was treated during the Primaries.
My vote is 100% sure goes to McCain, hope the rest of the Hilary supporters do the same. lets give the Democraps a lesson.

Although I really do like Obama, and agree w/ his message and will vote for him, I think I will be disappointed again. The West is full of
people set in their ways, who tho they just might vote for a black man,
would they vote for someone w/ the name Obama? This is my fear. To look beyond the name is a very tolerable view for some, and as we all know the Right Conservatives in the West are neither tolerable, or fair.

very good

HOPEFULLY MOST OF YALL DO THE RIGHT THING ...

MCCAIN 08 ?
IM A HILLARY SUPPORTER TOO !!!! I DONT THINK THAT
TUBBS JONES WOULD WANT US TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN !!!!!

HILLARY HAS MY VOTE FOR 2012 BUT DONT YOU GUYS THINK THAT MCCAIN WILL START WORLD WAR 3 ?
HE ALREADY SAID THAT HE'S IN FAVOR OF THE DRAFT ! I DONT WANT TO GO TO WAR ... LET ALONG ANY OF MY FAMILY !

OBAMA ISN'T THAT BAD OF A GUY

Honoring Mrs. Stubbs Jones is not about Hillary. You Hillary folks are so obsessed you should get therapy.

She was a true Democrat. Too bad HRC/Bill/Pumas are not. For Obamalism: Because HRC is to self-involved to give tribute to anyone but herself.

I may have missed something, but the first mention of Stephanie Tubbs Jones after her death, was from Barrack Obama on Saturday. She was a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. While I did not agree with some of her views, I had to admire her tenacity. Who could forget that smile, and the sudden loss of it when she was serious about a point. It is a loss for all Americans. May she be singing with the angels at this moment.

Who cares if he leave one woman for another?

I only care about what a man's policies will do to my country.

Dean created the whole FL MI mess

I think it is great that they paid homage to Senator Tubbs Jones for her Congressional service.

Nader/Gonzalez has been at 5% or above in several national polls. Why have you responded with a deep freeze-out of Nader/Gonzalez coverage? We need to hear more from the Independent Party!

Howard Dean is HOT!!!!

Nice! Bring out all the Obama supporting women on stage to woo the women voters who are enraged at the sexism against Hillary by the liberal media.

Dean is dong the right thing... God Bless Her!!!!

The Clinton supporters (so called) are a nasty group of individuals but true Democrates do not despair .... they are all Repugs trying to cause strife within our party.... I heard this from a X – Repug friend of mine.... she blogs hateful messages like these Repugs using HRC name ... shame on them.... but Hill and Bill gave them the oppurtunity and now they are shame it is back firing ... no worries true Dems are united and we will not entertain these nasty folks..... Hell will be to nice of a place for them...

McCain's Non-explanation

McCain cannot justify his 23 million claim. We asked McCain spokesman Brian Rogers for substantiation and received the statement that we reprint here. We find it simply won't do.

Rogers starts by saying that Obama's health care proposal to provide coverage for uninsured workers would amount to a "tax," either in the form of higher costs for covering employees or "cash to the government." But McCain was talking about income tax rates, not higher business costs. That's not justifying McCain's claim; that's trying to change the subject.

Great Leadership you can Trust!!!!!

Obama & Biden 2008 + 2012 August 25th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

God Bless Her! She was a true Democrat and she also supported the nominee for President and Vice President, as any REAL DEMOCRAT will!

As an American Female 63+Catholic raised, I didn't support HRC but if it came down to the wire I will definitely support the Nominee under the DNC just to get rid of the GOP!

I am not in anyway a TRAITOR to MY COUNTRY! Like so many others are!
-------------------------------

Only two words for you, YOU ROCK!!

hillary not going to win in 2012

I can't believe you PUMA's. Go away already.
Will the true Democrats please stand up and support our nominee. For those of you who would rather have McCain-Bush for 4 more years simply because your favorite was not nominated, Good Bye and Good Riddance.
You deserve to pay $4 plus for your gasoline.
You deserve to have your loved ones stuck in Iraq.
You deserve an economy that can't compete with Europe.
You deserve to be called a Bush Republican.
BUT, DO YOUR CHILDREN DESERVE THE FUTURE THAT YOUR SPITE WILL GIVE THEM?

A great gesture by DNC Chairman Howard Dean to recognize Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She was the consummate public servant.

May God Bless her eternal soul and the family she left behind. Nice job Howard Dean.

Obama 08...

Anybody who voted for Bush twice or even once is an idiot. These same people want to talk about judgement and who to select for the presidency. I don't think so, they're morons.

They were morons in 2000, 2004 and they're still morons.

I hope the rest of the country gets onboard and makes a sound choice for a change. The Repugs are good at trashing the Democratic brand, but that is int he eye of the beholder. I'll take someone who makes poor decisions with good intensions anyday, than a man who will make poor decisions, knowing they're poor just to get his own way. That's devious and it's unAmerican.

Barack will do just fine, and I think the country will be surprise just as we were surprised by his dynamic campaigning.

Obama / Biden 08

It is wonderful that Stephanie Tubbs Jones was honored..Why can't we all just get along? John McCain will not support "rights for women"

YEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Dean takith away from Michigan and Florida in a formula guaranteed to be GENDER Bias...

He givith back....now that he's insured that Hillary cannot be nominated....

This excuse for a 2004 Presidential Candidate would be best joining Liberman in being the 2 Politicians without respect nor focus on the Constitutional Right for Americans to decide.

Him honoring Stephannie got him NO VOTES for being IN-HUMAN!

why some clinton supporter are so stupid?

Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones was a true Democrat and she had my respect. Rest in Peace.

STJ, God bless you and your family. Thank you for looking out for us when we didn't know how to look out for ourselves.

Leave it to the PUMA's to even sour this tribute with their BS Hillary talk!! Rest in peace Ms. Jones.

Stephanie Tubbs Jones was an awesome woman. Her smile lit up the room. May she rest in peace.

Stephanie was one of the few African Americans who despite death threats and Obama supporters nasty threats, stuck by her friend Hillary Clinton, campaigning tirelessly for Hillary not only in Ohio but all across this nation. Stephanie was a true Democrat and a true friend. Obama supporters should be ashamed of the way Stephanie was treated by his supporters. Obama is a disgrace who has destroyed the Democratic party.

*** She stuck by the Clintons through thick and thin! ***

She endorsed Obama in June.

I saw a McCain TV ad about Obama, McCain saying that Obama turned his back on his own family and why does he talked about Senator McCain and his wife. WELL!! how about the real facts about Senator McCain! McCain turned his back on his X-wife after she was injured and left his X-wife for Cindy McCain because she had money. Not only did he leave his wife for Cindy, he was involved with Cindy McCain before he divorced his wife. So if John McCain is capable of doing that to his X-wife, what do you think he would do to the rest of all of us as U.S. citizens? I plan to blog this everywhere!!!!!!

Obama should offer Hillary a Supreme Court seat or at least Sec. of State..
She would make a great Surpeme Court Justice.

Dear Nightingale Sings,

You are such a racist. Who made you the God of Names? So you think Obama has a funny name for a president? Try Van Buren, Polk, and Fillmore. And if those don't work for you, try Bush because that's what you will get for the next 4 years if you vote for McCain.

Also, all of the name you have heard have been European names. It's time to climb out of the dark ages and broaden your horizons. You may be surprised.

You'd think that they would have let Hillary offer the tribute rather than this baffoon.

HOWARD DEAN THE SNAIL TRAIL ! WHAT A JOKE, THE DEAMONCRATIC CONGRESS IS LAUGHABLE. HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED. BUNCH OF TALK AND NO ACTION. ONLY CARE ABOUT THE PARTY AND THEMSELVES, OBAMA FITS RIGHT IN WITH THESE SORRY BUNCH OF HOT AIR BALLOONS !

*** He has a funny name for the president ****

Wow, political commentary from the galactically stupid.

I'm sure she was a fine woman but does wearing an "SJT" button mean we should listen to you, slimeball? You're the head of an organization who has lost their organization due to the lack of.......well, organization at the top of your organization. That, plus you're a sleaze who'd do anything to nominate an Obama.......

I'm so glad she was acknowledged by somwone, I thought Hillary would have already said something about this woman that probably worn herself to dealth for Hillary, hopfully Hillary will atleast say something tomorrow!

Hillary has a way that seems she uses people then discards them when she is through using them for her purposes just like she would often leave a state she lost without saying thank you or even acknowledging her siupporters that did vote for her.

God Bless Her! She was a true Democrat and she also supported the nominee for President and Vice President, as any REAL DEMOCRAT will!

As an American Female 63+Catholic raised, I didn't support HRC but if it came down to the wire I will definitely support the Nominee under the DNC just to get rid of the GOP!

I am not in anyway a TRAITOR to MY COUNTRY! Like so many others are!

I agree with Chrissy, Texas I could not have said it better myself.

Guess what Republicans.. I mean Pumas..Clinton will not be running in 2012, win or lose by the Democrats this Novemember.

She stuck by the Clintons through thick and thin! That speaks volumes unlike the other backstabbers! GOD Bless her soul and may she be at peace...

McCain 08'

The McCain campaign is running a TV ad attacking Obama with statements that are literally true but paint an incomplete picture.

It says he "voted against funding our troops." He did – exactly once. Obama cast at least 10 votes for war-funding bills before voting against one last year, after Bush vetoed a version that contained a date for withdrawal from Iraq.

It says he "hasn't been to Iraq for years." He was headed there at the time the ad was released, however, and had been there in 2006.

It says he "never held a single hearing on Afghanistan." It was the full Senate Foreign Relations Committee, not Obama's subcommittee, that had the hearings on this global hot spot, and Obama attended one of those. Over the same time period, McCain himself attended none of the Afghanistan hearings held by the Armed Services Committee on which he serves.

Truly Leadership at it's best!!!! Go Republicans, can't wait for 4 more years of Big Oil, No Global Warming, No Pro-Choice, No Privacy rights/Free Speech, etc....Yeah Let's keep the "White House"

She wanted Hillary for president... Rest in Peace...

Vote McCain 08.... Clinton 12

May Congresswoman Jones rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are respectfully with her family. Her great legacy lives on. Thank you, Dean.

She was a good woman. May she rest in peace.

My respects to her family and her memory. Thanks for being a great soldier.

M R. D E A N-–DI D----T H E----R I G H T---T H I N G--

H E R E,,,,,,,,,,,R I P

She was a Clinton supporter. God bless her.

PUMAs Unite – Vote McCAIN in 2008 – So we can vote HILLARY in 2012 !!!!!

Howard honors Stephanie while I honor Hillary.

John here am I read;y to join your team. I am sick of Howard Dean, Harr;y Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Obama. They are the eeny, meeny, miny, moe of a long ago nursery rhyme,

I switched when Howard gave the votes to Obama. I am a Hillary fan and will support her, but never an Obama. He has a funny name for the president, is scary, is immature and is inexperienced. He may be a second choice for a ticket, but he should never have been appointed like George Bush was appointed by the Supremes. Amazing.

Obama scary, Obama risky, Obama will gamble our country. So let's go to McCain and the faster the better.

may she rest in peace.

Yea Dean, did your o-bambi have her taken out like they did Donald Young, the gay leader in o-bambi church ???

I think it's good that Dean wore a button to honor Stephanie Tubbs Jones. While I disagreed with her most of the time, she was a dedicated Democrat.

I saw that-
very nice, I thought he might mention it-

It was always a pleasure watching Stephanie Tubbs Jones in the shadows of Mrs. Clinton, she was a true inspiration.
