CNN

CNN has disappointed me for the last time. I expected full coverage of this convention and its speakers. Yet, I get to listen to all the CNN stars comment of the lack of attack by the dems on the republicans. If CNN actually listened and perhaps broadcasted the ENTIRE convention like CSPAN – they would have much less to talk about and much less air time for its superstars – It seems the convention is more a showcase for all the CNN political correspondents than for the democratic party – SHAME ON YOU CNN – YOU JUST LOST ANOTHER VIEWER

The DNC can't lead itself out of a paper bag. It threw Hillary under the bus and for what....a nominee who has no experience and is so far left that we can't see him. Change? Yeah, right - Biden represents change. Yeah, right. McCain 08 and Hillary 12.

Question? How do we know that the 18 million voters of Hillarys' were true Clinton supporters and not deployed from the "LImbaughs Lunatics brigade", that set out to thwart Barack Obamas campaign in Texas/Ohio and Pennsylvania primaries?

Thank you Hillary! And thank you to the millions of Hillary supporters who are now supporting Obama. We need every single one of you. Don't fall for McCain's insincere pandering.

Barack invite Hillary and Bill on the stage Thursday night with you, Michelle, Joe and Jill.

That would be an awesome site.

Wjhere the hell did you think she would be?? What a crock of morons you peopel are!!

Hillary Clinton had better show up at the event. What message would she be sending if she did otherwise.

They'll get it right for their friends on the right. No doubt about that !!!!

NOW GLORIA BORGER !

Do these CNN people not get it ?

Let us hear the speakers !!!

Shut up Paul !

We don't need any of these people telling us what we should be thinking. Let us hear the speakers.

Come on folks we also need to remeber those who gave there lives for our county. and i sit here watching yall talk about change but nothing about those who gave there lives for our county come on people them over in iraq are frighting rather you belive we should be there or not but there you send out love to the familys who lost loved ones.. yall have not one time talk about this issue.

Be there and stay in your corner Billary – you are getting your own stage tonight !!!

I have had it with HRC this ... HRC that. She lost, it's been over, now get behind Barack and act like a responsible party leader.

You are setting women back with this childlish behavior as if this continuous whinning and pouting will get you back into the white house. Enough already ... geez!

This is a real issue here McCain disrespects women. This is a real pattern here and the media is not going after McCain for this.

Any woman that cares about verbal and physical abuse would never vote for McCain! Just look at poor Cindy McCain John wiill not let her speak a the convention next week in Minn.

McCain and Romney think a womans place is at home, just look at Cindy she looks like she has had alot of emotional abuse.

Clinton will do what she has to do to preserve her opportunity in 2012. It is Obama's responsibility to unify the party – not Hillary Clinton's. But, no matter what – Obama is down in the polls – no bounce from Biden...........and..............there are millions who do not support the new and flip-flop improved Senator Obama. He was unelectable in February and he is unelectable now. His new position on issues are NOT close to Clintons. He was annointed by the DNC. If this was a real process, where everyones votes really did count, the DNC/Obama would allow a floor vote between he and Clinton. Whom ever wins – wins and moves forward......vs.........this contrived and bully nominee. Vote for Country – no flip flop – Vote McCain! PUMA!

Good for you Hillary

McCain 08

Hillary 2012

Why does the media keep harping about the importance of Hillary's speech???

She was my candidate, not my God. What she says will have no influence on my vote. I will NOT vote for Obama, and it has nothing to do with bitter feelings OR the Clintons.

I think he made a foolish choice based on pride and arrogance. He could have had 38 million votes right out of the gate, but he didn't want to share the limelight with Hillary.

We've had 8 long years of pride before intellect, that's enough for me.

Notice how the McCain campaign is making a fool out of Hillary Clinton...using her in their attack ads against Senator Obama.
All her nasty campaigning has come home to haunt her and the Democratic Party.
She is now laughable.

I do not understand why CNN or the other Network MSNBC, failed to
fully cover the Democratic Convention! This is a history making convention and I and my friend had to find the exciting events on C-Span
the government channel. This is the only way we could see and enjoy the Convention properly.

On the first day of the convention we watched CNN and missed a lot. We did watch your staff talk while the events went on in the background. We sincerely hope you disrespect the Republicans
much the same as you are doing the Democrats.

Wolfe,

Where are you taking your talking points from? Who's saying that
"the Republicans are better at negative campaigning?" Sounds like you're taking sides by quoting the democrates.

Come on Wolfe. As a journalist, lay your personal convictions aside. Be tough on democrats, as well as republicans. Just dig for the facts and restore the honor to journalistic standards.

Herb H.

tThanks ms. Crowley, for the positive reporting. You have done a great job trying to stay unbias to both Candidate. The Clintons owe to the party to unite the people. They have done a lot of damage trying to win by all cost. They have badly damage Obama and the DNC. We know though that their a lot of intelligent people as we can see from these blog that will do the right thing and vote for change. The know they owe for their children and their country...

Mary I agree that the party chose the wrong nominee.

But Hillary should do what is best for the Country and not the party.

That is the difference between a leader and an ambitious politician.

Who cares?

I'm glad. And I'm sure he will give her the much deserved respect and recognition for all she's done for this country.

Good Job Dems.

Obama/Biden '08

Thank you Ms., Crowley for staying so positive for most of this campaign. i have been watching you since Feb and you and Cafferty are the greatest analysts. Because of the negative and bias reporting of some of your colleagues we are completly turned off. This campaign started off with =Hillary and Obama so energetic, and very nice. We couldn't wait to turned on CNN to watch them. But has Hillary started losing CNN Analysts all become bitter and started to take sides. It was awful. We do regret the ugly turned this had take. I think the best the Clintons can do, not only for Obama but for the DNC now is to try and unite the party. I am very, very sad that this has turned out so bad. We are still proud of the American people white, blacks. Latinos, chinese, and all others who put their differences beside and voted for a man who they know will make a great Presidents and change American.

I just wish CNN will stop talking through the whole convention and show some of teh speeches instead criticizing it. How can they say the democrats need to say this and that if all they are doing is talking during speeches. They matterswell have stayed home and made thier comments.

In the words of President Clinton whom I admire as a great president "GIVE ME A BREAK"
You are missing a great message that must be shated with the American people not SPIN. WQ.E.Patterson

Jennifer Granholm is on the stage. Thanks for the info & not letting us hear her speech. Now let's hear our panel regurgitate the same crap over again for the tenth time.
We are so furious at the CNN coverage. Maybe if these talking heads would shut up and let us listen to the speakers there would be a message. The commentators keep saying that nothing is happening at the podium. Well, how about a new concept. Shut up & let the people hear what is being said. I have never watched a convention so poorly televised.

So all you pundits: SHUT UP !! AND BROADCAST THE CONVENTION!

I agree with Mary, Hillary has what it takes to be the presidents. since she is not the nominee no one will have my familie and friend vote. End of story

Obama has the money and Hillary has the courage.....

In response to questions about Sen. Obama's ability to lead: Bush has finally adopted the basic plan put forward by Obama to leave Iraq. Bush has, in fact, endorsed Obama's plan even if he won't admit it. Of course he didn't do that until after the Iraqi government endorsed the plan. And John McSame is still back on Bush's previous page!

If the President has accepted Obama's plan, that's pretty good leadership. More of a Commander-in-Chief before the election than Bush has been over the course of eight years!

Even today McCain sent Cindy away to Georgia this week does not want her around to draw comparisons with Michelle Obama!

Alot of these people should seriously do some more research into John McCain. It baffles me still that no one on this site seems to be even the least bit curious why all the people that post from Arizona have NOTHING good to say about McCain. I would think at least some of the PUMAS would be curious as to why that is. I am glad to see that Hillary will attend the speech.

"...regardless of whether she is asked to join him on stage at any point"

Wow, the woman will continue to stick her nose in it. She (and her supporters) cannot get over the fact that they lost.

Appalling political ineptitude from folks who crafted a first-rate primary caucus campaign ...

… any “favorite son” would be sweet-talked and indulged for a few dozen delegates …

… the entire Obama staff should be smiling and courting her …

… and they seem to be stuck in hissy-fit and fear …

… whatever happened to the “courtesy and respect” due the lady who got 18 million votes ???

No wonder Obama’s keeping his head down …

… Obama staff is “happy with her speech” ??

… they should be grateful for whatever Hillary's willing to give!

Good ...

Michele & the girls should be there. So should Obama's grandmother & sister.

Joe Biden & His wife ... Jill? & family should be there.

Hillary should be there ... as should Bill ... Chelsea should not

Al Gore & Tipper should be there

Jimmy & Roselyn can be there.

John Kerry & Theresa can be there.

With all those people on stage the Democrats send the right message.

No particular person can be spun by the media or the Republicans a particular way.

Any woman that cares about verbal and physical abuse would never vote for McCain! Just look at poor Cindy McCain John wiill not let her spek a the convention next week in Minn.

McCain and Romney think a womans place is at home, just look at Cindy she looks like she has had alot of emotional abuse.

Hey Wolf, here's an idea. How about showing the convention! You guys have spent all your time telling us what the democrats should and shouldn't do and we haven't seen anything unless it happens between 9 and 11 pm. What good is it to be the only news team on the floor if you are just chatting amongst yourselves. I guess I'll start watching the other networks and stop wasting my time before prime time.

Clinton supporters hold on to your core beliefs. Our principals do not coinside with this evasive party that has weasled its way into our core beliefs. They want you to believe that if you don't go along with them, that somehow you are an outcast. Question why they think they can force you to their side by all these enduendos. As if your a child without a mind of your own.

Hillary has what it takes, and will always do what is right for the party. I still think the party chose the wrong nominee though.....

Ive taken all of the Democratic Convention I can handle, Logically Looking at it Bush administration was Poor Leadership and Dem House controlled House and senate were Poor policy makers and self serving, Did they Try to Impeach Bush, NO, did they go after Haliburton for Over Charging the Gov and Tax Payers? NO, did they raise those disabled on Gov Benifits to compensate for the Inflation? NO, Did they order Fuel storage release to stop oil Company Price fixing? NO, Has Obama even been in Washington Voting on issues since he started campaigning?? NO Look at the senate Votes! Impression being what I saw on TV as Obama supporters 40% where Runners up for the Poster Person for Birth Control! and Very illogical and educated on Voting and issues!

These are the steps of unity!

It appears as though YOU, the media are intent on handing this election to McCain. You are talking more about McCain and the Republican antics during this convention than the business of the democrats; You are keeping the alleged "Democratic Clinton Rift" as a priority topic; You are rehearsing constantly the "Obama's Not Ready" agenda for McCain. I am sure you have pledged otherwise, but try to at least appear to be unbiased. I know you will not be doing the same for Obama during the Republican affair. Just an observation.

You go Hillary! Thanks for helping unite the party!

Now let's go get John McCain!

Vote Obama/Biden!

That's great...good for her. That sends a strong signal that goes above and beyond the obligatory speech, I think.

Oh, Hillary – so sorry that you HAVE to go along with Obama. In your hearts of hearts, you really should not. He is NOT the best candidate. He will lose to McCain – thankfully.

You do sound like a loser to me some of you are fans not really dems.

Why the heck should she be asked to join Obama on stage at his speech?!!!
Good Grief!! This Hillary crap is getting just plain stupid and totally out of hand.

Your are reporting that there is nothing going on or large gaps in the Democratic convention. However, you are not reporting what is going on. You mostly covering the corespondents who are repeting the same thing over and over. While Governer Rendell was speaking you were going into a commercial. I had to turn to another channell to hear Steny Hoyer's speach. While the congressional Black Caucus was speaking you were going over John Kings map again. While Pauline Beck of the Service Employee union you and your correspondent were busy telling us there was nothing going on. While Eleanor Holmes Norton was speaking there was a Gillete Commercial on you coverage. It is not the convention that is lacking, it
is your coverage that is seriously lackiing.

I hope she sticks to the program, tonight is hers, tomorrow is her husband/Bill's, and Thursday is Obama's.

Must the Clintons always have to dominate the Democratic party? I thought Teddy handed the button of generation change to Obama last night. C'mon Dems

I hate these latterday political dynasties – from Bush to Clinton
Republican for Obama

CNN, you should be ashamed of yourselves. The party conventions are traditionally an opportunity provided so candidates and their supporters can speak directly to the American people on their own terms.

CNN has refused to broadcast important speeches, blabbed over the ones they did cover, and spent most of their time chatting with anti-Obama conspiracy theorists and airing McCain ads for free.

Will you guys be giving this sort of obsessive coverage to Ron Paul's convention protest? Will you give millions of dollars worth of free airings for Obama's ads? Will your pundits constantly snipe at everything the Republicans do during the RNC?

Something tells me no.

And there's something that should be telling you that it's time to act like a real news agency: YOUR DECLINING RATINGS!

It's probably in her "best interest", that she be there! Less to explain!

THANK YOU SEN. CLINTON.

Will we actually get to hear his acceptance speech or can we expect it to be drowned out with more of the same CNN-commentary-about-the-Clintons instead?

this is for all of the hillary haters for barack; we careful what you do. because you turn your back on this democratic ticket AND FURTHER UP THE THE THE SAME PEOPLE who you have desserted you are going to need them votes one day. and we are taking note once you break that plate that crack is always-always is going to be there. and when you do jump over for mccain there is no jumping back.you will want another women candidate for office in the future and YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. what goes around is going to come back around and i'll make sure that the people never forgets you betrayal. it is said betrayal is worse than death. so when you jump ship make sure you can float forever.

Sharon:

Why don't you just not watch the speech? You really make yourself sound really silly and immature by suggesting that you will watch just to see Hillary but not listen to Obama. It would be easier to just change the station...

Hillary is a great leader
Hillary 2012 / Mc Cain 2008

The Democrats are united behind our leader, Obama to recapture the White House.

There is no more division in the Dems goal to elect Obama to fix the economy and to end the wars.

Obama/Biden 08.

I like you Hillary!

Do what you have to do, Hillary.

We've got your back.

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT

Just like a good girl should.

McCain/Romney '08

Good

Wake up America!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

C-SPAN

Dis-satisfied Clinton backers

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

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

Your sensationalistic coverage of Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani showing up to the DNC was done in very poor, tabloid-like taste. We have switched from CNN to watcing our news on MSNBC and C-Span. Nice going guys!

Great! Candy please tell Wolf and his bags of wind to stop talking and show the speakers. That is why we tune in, but I'm going over the C-SPAN

We love you for doing this Hilary, democrats WAKE UP!!!

Well......at least Hillary can be our backup quarterback.........jjst backup O.K, Hillary? LOL!!! But for the record, I think I would take Hillary as a quarterback than all of the quarterbacks my Bears had over the last 45+ years. Yeah, I know, is sad, LOL!!!

SHE NEEDS TO, ALSO BILL! THAT WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

I might now have to watch Thursday night just to see Hillary. I will use my mute button during the speech. If you heard one speech you heard them all.

We are not as divided as the media suggests!

Good job Hillary. The Obama supporters love you.
