I vote for my country first and make a choice for the candidate that I feel best fits the job description and can meet that job with the experience from life! The person that would take care of my country the best she could is being treated like the muck of the earth! So… I find that I cannot be loyal to a party that treats people like that, so, I will be finding someone else to vote for besides the Oh-blah-blah-blah, empty suit! I want substance, not another speech! All I have heard are speeches and whining about everything (don't attack my wife; get rid of that ad that ties me to Ayers - even though it is documented fact, blah-blah-blah!).

c-span lets you hear all the speeches with out a lot of analizing from the press.
give us a break We tune in for the convention not the press

goodbye can`t take it anymore.

we want to hear them all not just the so called important folk.

I was am still a Hillary supporter. I am sick of the media saying she needs to unite the party. That is Obama's job if he can do it!
Every democrat should know Obama is Not for change from the "typical" Washington politics or he would not have picked an old, white, male V.P. nominee. I am 53 years old and I pray I live to see a woman elected President of the United States. God knows the men have had their time and look where we are!!!!!!!!!!!

@Mary:

I hope you don't value the right to choose.

Keep in mind that John Paul Stevens is 88. In four years he will be 92.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 75. In four years she will be 79.

Do you really want to see McCain nominate a justice, much less two or three of them (Ruth Bader Ginsberg is 75 and Anthony Kennedy is 72), to the Supreme Court?

Think long and hard about that before you claim that Obama isn't ready for prime time. Think long and hard.

Please show us more of the convention and less of your commentators.

Why are you interviewing Charles Barclay about his politacal plans instead of listening to the speakers at the convention. I thought CNN was supposed to be covering the convention. Instead all I can head is nothing but talk and speculation about how the convention should be conducted and the issues that all the commentators think should be discussed. This seems to be more about CNN personalities and their views than about the convention. I am now bored with CNN's coverage and have muted my TV and will wait until I see Hillary Clinton come on. You guys are not doing a good job.
Ansel.

Forget about what Hillary did-did not do or say, tonight she had better get her act together or she will not get the support she will need in 2008 or 2012. Barack is going to be the nominee and if all of you "Hillary woman" want a Justice on the Supreme Court who will support woman's issues, you had better get on the bandwagon this year. There are Justices on the Supreme Court who are old and waiting to retire. If John McCain gets into office kiss Rove v Wade good-bye. Wake up!

People think Clinton has done so much for women. Not true, after the way she acted through the primaries she has set women back 80 yrs. Her actions are the reason why she is not the VP candidate. She made it impossible for Obama to choose her. It was if he was running against a Republican. She only thought of herself and not the party. Next, after she knew it was over she loaned her campaign millions of dollars to keep going even after people told her it was impossible to win. Now her and her supporters are pissed Obama is not helping enough to help pay the debt off. If she cant run a campaign and keep it in the black, think how she would of ran the country. Then, after it was obviously over she still wouldnt go away, she still made it hard on Obama. again thinking of herself and not the party. Men and especially men in power will be saying dont hire that woman she'll whine and just care about herself and not the company or the good of the whole. She has crushed any advances women have made in the past 80 years. Any true democrat that is a Clinton supporter that does not vote for Obama is uneducated about the issues and just supported Clinton because of her name or her gender. McCain's views are the total opposite of Clinton's and Obama's views are 80 to 90% the same as Clinton's. Quit crying and acting like you are a little kid, this is not a popularity contest this is the future of our country!

Remember when Obama said in one of the debates that Hillary was "likaeble enough?" Remember when he brushed her off his shoulder like a peice of lint after he did so badly in the ABC debate? Did you get how he released his VP announcement at 3AM in the morning, giving the lame excuse that he had to at exactly that time because CNN had already come out with it? And NOW it's Hillarys responsibility to dig him out of the hole he's dug for himself. Alot of voters supported Hilllary because she's a moderate. Now alot of them are voting for Mccain because he's considered to be more moderate. Why does that make them traitors? As my Dad used to tell me when i was growing up and had gotten myself in trouble, "You made your bed, now you lay in it."

@Clinton Supporter For Life…..perfect example of what is wrong with this country now. I'm going to go out on a limb and say your one of those low income, low education supporters of Hillary Clinton…pathetic. I'm glad you don't represent the majority of her supporters of American in general.

Hillary should do what is right for this country and not the Democratic Party.
A leader would choose what is best not what makes him or her more popular.

Hillary spent all of her campaign running for the highest office of the land as if she were a man. For Goddess' sake! she's a Woman. I could not get behind her candidacy because I always believed that her marriage to Bill was for her convenience only. I am a 66 year old feminist and I would not have tolerated the nonesence and pain he inflicted upon her for all those years.

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you. Sen Hillary is bright, intelligent, knowledgeable. She didn't need Bill.

All through her campaign she spoke as a man in women's clothes. Then on the Saturday after it is apparent she does not have the delegates, she speaks about how being a woman has made a difference. Too little. Too late.

I am not one of those women who believed she had made HIStory. She lost an opportunity to make HERstory. And I too wonder how many of these women delegates at convention are really republicans in donkey's clothes.

Out with the republican regime! they have destroyed this nation.

I HATE CNN. I dont know why I watch.

Hillary has what it takes and would have had my vote, but I really do not care for Barrack or Michelle Obama. Sorry Dems, I can not go along with this choice. If you had given Florida and Michigan full vote status in the beginning, I think things would have been different.

Too bad Hillary made her true feelings known during the primaries. She was right. Obama isn't ready for prime time. Biden agrees. If Obama can't convince Democrats he's ready, he'll never convince anyone else.

It is going to be most interesting to see what Bill has to say tomorrow night.

Give me a break!

Hillary is the best! But, it is not her job to unify the party!

That is up to Obama! He could have unified the party but he chose not to. He has very poor judgment!

Unfortunately, Obama's arrogance and belief in his own infallibility has undermined his party and his future! Barack, the user, will lose!

Also, It is not Hillary's job to be the attack dog either! That is up to Biden. He accepted the official position of attack dog!

Today, Obama is out on the stump obfuscating, prevaricating and bluffing! he doesn't get it, and he doesn't have a clue!

The democrats blew it big time this election!

This former democrat will vote for McCain 08! Country comes before party and John McCain is a moderate in touch with mainstream America!

P.U.M.A= Pathetic Uneducated Morons of America

I'm voting for McCain in November so I CAN vote for Hillary in '12!!!

If Obama doesn't win this election, then it'll for sure be Hillary in 2012. If Obama wins this election, Clinton won't be able to get in until 2016. That's why I'M voting for McCain!

it is so hard to swallow but obama has the nomination-nothing will change that. a hillary clinton comes along once in a lifetime and can one dare hope that we will see her again in 2012 ? time will tell……

I understand the Clintons. Everyone should watch PRIMARY COLORS all over again. I understand why she truely feels she should have been president. She put bill in the White House when It should have been her. She has endured a lot of pain because of him and all of her accomplishment have been put aside to help his career. Now that the tables are turned he could not deliver for her. Now Bill is mad with himself because of it as well. They both need therapy. She needs to show the party that she truly ran for president because she cared about the country not because it was her turn This is not the Hilarycratic party this is the democratic party. She should be showing all the women who have supported her how to be gracious. How to be strong in adversity. That with the lemons she got she was able to make lemonade showing how in the end if you are for the right thing it will workout. You both need to look in the mirror and ask yourself who really put you in this position. Is there anything you could have done better or differently. We are in charge of our own destiny buy the choices we make. You should not be mad with Barack he is not the reason you are where you are. If you believe in GOD you should know you are in the current position you are suppose to be.

These are those die-hard Clinton supporters. I still don't understand why people would vote McCain! He is the total opposite party! I think Clinton is great, and I have a feeling she will be in Obama's Admin. as Secretary of State.

I wonder how many of these anti-Obama posts are from Republican trolls trying to inflame what amounts to a truly minor divide?

This is beginning to border on lunacy. For God's sake, we're Democrats!!! Let's support Mr. Obama for President.

There isnt a thing she can say at this point to change my mind.. There isnt any unity and my vote goes to McCain.. a man that has the most experience to lead this country.

My vote, which has been almost totally Democratic for lots of years, will go to McCain this time around.

It's not about "party"……it's about who is most qualified to lead in terms of character, judgment and experience. Obama loses.

Country first, party last.

Was for Hillary….now for McCain!

NOBAMA!

Sacha Millstone, a Clinton delegate from Colorado, said that some Clinton delegates will vote for Hillary ALL THE WAY.

She does not believe that there will be a unanimous vote for Barack Obama.

Awilda Marquez, another Clinton delegate from Colorado, said this morning on C-SPAN that Hillary Clinton can say nothing to make her support Barack Obama.

She said that it's Obama's job to make her want to vote for him, and that he's not doing it.

And the only reason why Debra Bartoshevich, a former Clinton delegate from Wisconsin, is not in Denver right now saying that she will never support John McCain is because the Wisconsin Democratic Party stripped her of her delegate status.

The leadership of the Democratic Party has failed us all.

This picture of Billary only says what's going on in her mind

HOW CAN I SCREW BARAK OVER ONE MORE TIME BEFORE I

LEAVE.

Dis-satisfied Clinton backers

McCAIN IS PRO_LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Vote for McCain and vote to over-turn Roe. Vs. Wade

Clinton Supporter for Life:-

Shame on you.

During the primaries, Hillary used certain tactics against Obama which you just don't do to someone in your own party. This is why John McCain can now uses her words aginst Obama. It is also why many Obama supporters have been disrespectful towards Hillary's. Like it or not, it was these tactics that have caused alot of the problems. It is sad that this is now being turned on Obama. So I say to the angered Clinton supporters, where were you during the primaries? Why did you not cry foul about the negative republican-like tactics that she was using? Why was that acceptable to you? This was a very close primary and the losing side was bound to be very disappointed. But at this point, I think we should honor Hillary tonight and then, yes, get over it!

Clinton Supporter For Life August 26th, 2008 8:06 pm ET

Obamanots,

It's called the WHITE House for a reason! I will NEVER vote to put a black man in OUR WHITE House, democrat or not.

Go Hillary 2012 & 2016.

At least this Hillary supporter came out and stated why he or she is SCARED of and EDUCATED BLACK PERSON!!! It's ok though we'll still PAINT THE WHITE HOUSE BLACK!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!!

Clinton Supporter from 7:29ET: So if you vote based on policies and you supported Hillary you'll obviously be supporting Obama, since they shared 99% of policies and McCain shares 2% with them. Or are you just dissatisfied and voting for McCain because your candidate lost?

Truth burns, doesn't it?

Go Hillary 2012 !

The media is so bias and not fair to Hillary. They will PAY THE PRICE.

@ Souza—You can find all the details you like at barackobama.com. Clearly, you know how to use the internet, so get to it. Educate yourself.

@Clinton Supporter for Life—I think that you are not really a Clinton supporter, but a Republican pretending.

Hillary, no matter how you persue us, WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA WHO WE DO NOT TRUST ! So please stop here!

She is a great woman and has my respect but Obama does not get our vote… He did not listen to the people, he has proven that he will not do just that…

Wrong Choice B.H.

You Lose.

Give it up. Please give it up!

I was a big Hillary Clinton supporter until the debate on the Florida and Michigan delegations. She lost by the rules she agreed to - she has really lost me and the sad thing is we will all lose in November.

For once in so many years we have real hope for change. Please give up the quest to squander this opportunity of hope.

Give it up.

Obamanots,

It's called the WHITE House for a reason! I will NEVER vote to put a black man in OUR WHITE House, democrat or not.

Go Hillary 2012 & 2016.

All this talk of Hillary's supporters is just gotten sick. They are sore losers and are ruining this moment for the rest of us. Let them do what they want. Those who will not vote for Obama - will not vote for Obama regardless. So its time to let them drown in their own misery. After this fiasco It will be a cold day in hell when another women will ever come this close again to the presidency. Thank you - you bunch of sore losers.

I am to the point where even though I strongly support Obama, I want the delegates to each state who they want. If Clinton wins so-be-it. I want her supporters to feel it is finally OVER and she was NOT cheated out of anything. Then, Obama can begin to do what he needs to.

Obama/Biden '08

I am for Hillary PERIOD. I will never vote for Obama after what the DNC did to her. It is McCain all the way for me now.

Dems = a liberal, socialist, divided party with absolutely no direction and a naive, inexperienced Presidential candidate. It's no wonder people are jumping ship.

I'm a Hillary supporter. It's bugging me that the press is repeating the theme that SHE has to unite the Democratic Party. Why isn't that Obama's job? Why is she expected to convince me to vote for him? Why doesn't he do a better job of telling me why I should support him?

I was a Dean supporter, and ended up working hard for Kerry. He wasn't my first choice, but I didn't have any trouble getting behind him. I thought he was a legitimate choice, qualified for the job, and that he was a far cry better than the Republican nominee. I don't feel the same way about Obama. Why is that? It's certainly not Hillary's fault.

Clinton Supporter
"Unlike Obama, Hillary Clinton does not attempt to engage in mind control."

That is one of the most ridiculous and baseless accusations I have ever heard. How exactly do you believe Obama is doing to "engage in mind control"

You are ridiculous and not voting for policies as you claim, because Obama's policies are nearly identical to Clintons.

oh great, i used my own name earlier. can you fix that? oh well, maybe we should all be so honest. And to those who would vote for McCain over Obama? Are you nuts? Think war, trees, water, medicine, oil, trade, jobs, well, just about any subject. McCain will take us all the way under. Obama can raise us up again; maybe there is still a chance for the world to like and respect us again.

You fools don't get it !

Hillary soiled herself in the primary. Against good advice she keep running her campaign. Went broke. Couldn't pay her vendors. You name it. But she refused to face reality. Now that reality has finally struck her, she has to help clean up the stench she left - NAMELY YOU PEOPLE ! PUMA's need to have their diapers changed and given pacifers so we can move this country forward.

That's why Hillary has to help Obama or her career is O V A H !

First of all, I'm upset with CNN who talked through Maria Cantwell's speech. Was it because she is a Hillary delegate? Second, of course Hillary and Michelle get along. They are both smart, strong women. Because of Hillary, Michelle won't get slammed as hard for being herself. And Hillary and her supporters deserve a REAL roll-call vote, not just a symbolic one. She IS nominated for President. She DID get 18 million (the most) votes. So, if there are TWO official roll calls, fine. Who cares? I do. I will vote for Obama, but Hillary Clinton deserves official recognition, not just a polite tip of the hat. Anything else is arrogant and dismissive of the system.

500,000 more votes… she got,,, wow,,, party on

PUMA's …Shut your frigin mouths and listen to your candidate!

You keep asking why should Hillary help bring you guys around?…well its like this….If a person goes potty in the middle of the living room, its only good manners to clean it up. Don't you think so? Hillary knew she had no chance to when the nomination. Did she listen ?….NOOOOOOO……She kept saying "I will be president and I'm going to let everybody have their say" At the end of the day…she's broke and we have you idiots to deal with. So …Yes, she made the mess, she needs to clean it up

What do you want the man to do? He has laid out his plan for this country but it is never enough. Will you watch Biden on Wednesday night and Obama on Thursday and judge for yourselves?

What exactly has McCain done to get you to vote for him? He said he supports 95% of Bush's policies. I doubt Hillary does.

Do you think he really cares what you want? If elected, he will replace one of the liberal Supreme Court justices, maybe 2. If he picks someone like Scalia, Alito, or Thomas, then watch your rights go down the tubes. This isn't a maybe…this is real.

Hillary was the best candidate. Obama stole the nomination with Harry and Howard's support.

Great Job Dennis, now go back to the nut house

We have two overripe bananas for the head job in the USA. That is a shame [ Nobama and no joe.]

Obama is risky
Obama is inexperienced
Obama has a funny name
Obama will take our guns away
Joe cries, not becoming of a tough VP, Putin will eat him alive and Obama too for dessert.
Obama is a novice at Foreign Affairs.

So do you want to gamble with our country?

do you want to roll the dice?

I don't think you do, therefore a good alternative is JOHN MCCAIN.

McCain will lead us back to the 60s and the nam era. That's all we hear from him. war war war war war war - it doesn't matter what country or why

Obama/Biden '08

Clinton Supporter, you have obviously missed the point of the Clinton-Obama unity schematic. The point is to recover our badly damaged country from the grasp of the Republicans who continue to flush what's left of us down the toilet. Hillary still has an opportunity to effect change for us, but in order foe her to do it, we will need a Democrat as POTUS. Don't you get it?

Why is it up to the Clinton's to do Obama's job.
He needs to convince the die hard Hillary supporters to stand behind him.
Why is it the Clinton's problem that we still stand behind her. Hello we can make up our own minds. Unlike what the media says I am a educated supporter that makes over 90,000 a year.
Obama says the same things over and over and I am sick of hearing the same rhetoric.
Let's hear the details of how is is going to accomplish change besides changing his mind. Like FISA, Oil Drilling and the list goes on.
Obama is not the experienced one to lead this nation to change.

My friends… There are a few things I'd like to postulate this fine Thursday evening.

Let me give you some REAL straight talk…

1st. An untold amount of $18 Million former Hillary Clinton voters during the primary, who voted after John McCain clinched the nomination were and are die-hard Republicans and are now returning to their base.

2nd. John McCain's policies haven't been extensively examined by the media, and many former Hillary Clinton voters aren't aware of how destructive McCain's policies are to what Hillary Clinton stood for and fought for.

3rd. If CNN took a poll of the race and socio-economic background of these die-hard supporters who will vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama, you will find some commonalities among them. This demographic for the most part would never vote for Barack Obama or another black man or woman to be President of the United States.

To the Clinton supporters,

PLEASE support your Democracy party no matter what. I am a Republic, but I am so sick of Bush and I will not vote for McCain.

So, don't vote for McCain just to get even with Obama. There is no way in the world that Obama dressed up in bandit and walked in the dark to steal the votes from Clinton. I was all for Clinton, but Obama won the nomination and Clinton clearly announced that she accepted the result. She even expressed that she is backing up Obama.

As long as Republic is out of White House, we can work on new changes around for our future and for our children.

For the Clinton supporters, I understand that you feel angry, but voting for McCain to remove Obama - HOW can it help???

If McCain won the tickets, then will he stop the war? It's more likely for him to summon more soliders to grave.

If you research, you will find that the troopers send more money to Obama than McCain…

Please reconsider… Thank you.

McCain for President!!! Bring back the great depression

Unlike Obama, Hillary Clinton does not attempt to engage in mind control. Therefore, she will not be able to force every Hillary supporter to blindly, unquestioningly vote for Obama.

Obama forces continue to threaten her - you are bad; we will ostracize you from the party; we won't help you 2012. It's your fault that McCain is running those ads because you attacked Barack while running against him. etc etc etc.

Of course she attacked him. She was running against him! Biden, who also voted for the war in Iraq, said the exact same things.

It is not up to Hillary Clinton to single handedly bring in every former Clinton supporter. This one will not vote Democrat because the DNC is now a bunch of thugs in 3-piece suits. It's way beyond Hillary now. I'm not going to vote for Barack because she tells me to, any more than I voted for Clinton because she wanted me to. I vote for or against policies, not people. So do most intelligent voters. This isn't a rock star event - it's an election!

why Clintons have to support Obama? It is not right. Ithink thay should start new, better pary for all of us.

Its about time I finally hear something positive coming out of this CLinton Klan!!!!!!
