I've never been a big Hillary fan, except that I admire her perseverance in a predominantly man's world (I know what THAT feels like), but I have to say, I admire that fact that she's out there trying. Yes, it is hard to support someone wholeheartedly that you spent months campaigning against, but both Bill and Hill have lived up what was expected of them. She's trying to deliver on what she said she would. Obama doesn't need to hide behind her pantsuit like McCain does behind Cindy and Sarah, and he can be elected on his own…he's a big boy.

Can we please stop demonizing both candidates? I don't agree with what little McCain has put forth as policy, and I don't like his negativity, but he's not the anti-Christ. Obama is a legitimate US citizen, was sworn into office by Cheney on a Bible, and is a Christian, regardless of middle name. He's not a socialist or Communist and McCain isn't a Fascist. Those are are extremist views and politicians in these days and times can't afford extremist views. They are both doing what they think is best…I just happen to think Obama is doing what's best for me. Disagree with policy, disagree with character (I certainly disagree with Palin's!), but there is no reason to incite hatred or divisiveness. We need to pull things together after the election, and work to put our country back on track, and we won't be able to if we burn all the bridges between us. Because those are bridges that lead SOMEWHERE.

Thanks Hillary

Anyways when is McCain going to unveil his failed economy policy, why is he always the tail, and not the leader?

For someone who keeps knocking Obama down, it seems the Oabama is in crusie control and McCain is trying to put his gear in reverse.

McCain is to eratic that is true

I still have not heard either candidate speak on a clear basis about their plans for illegal immigration issues yet and how that impacts Social Security, state funds, welfare, etc.

These are issues that need to be addressed by both candidates I believe.

If we are foolish enough to think that no action is ok then we will face more economic issues in the future when there are more people getting social security than who put it in.

I am 20+ years away from retirement and believe that SS will not be there when I do. The last thing this country needs is to have more drain on a system that is already in the shape it is.

The more we can focus on the issues and not the negativity, ,the better. WE the American Voter are the ones who have the power to make the candidates stick to the issues. We have to make the wisest choice for the country, not just for the next four years, but for the future period. Our choice in this election will not just impact the next four years, if the Supreme Court changes as many think it will, Our choice in this election can change the future in ways that we can not even imagine, especially for women,

So, women across the country, please make sure you think about what you want for your daughters, grand daughters, etc.

I was a Hilary supporter and I think she would have made a great President, I will continue to support her in the future if she decides to run again……….but I also believe in Obama that he is the best man for the White House , he has the solutions to the problems in our economy, and bringing our troops home and ending this $10 billion dollar a week war in Iraq.

Joe from Oklahoma …..
Did you listen to Joe's speech yesterday? He talked about Healthcare reform that both HRC and Sen Kennedy are the chanpions and they are gonna be heading that coe Obama and him need their help on that.

A little off the subject of this article but…

Why is it that the repugs are always running around saying they are "afraid" of Obama. Since when did they become a bunch of whiney wimps?

Man up repugs and vote for the real leader that puts country first - Obama.

If you vote for McCain you're voting for the 30's-like depression and WW 3 - Now that's something to be afraid of!

Hillary is going to make a great Secratary of State.McCain really has a tough climb.It appears that Palin is scraping bottom to try and hold on.Since her bid for VP and the truth coming out she needs the VP job because she has become unqualified for any job that requires bonding or trust.She can be VP of the free world but she could not get a job teaching,or in social work and many other jobs as she is a proven liar and abuser of power.She is allowed to become President but there are many companies that would not hire her because of these proven facts but again it is OK that she could be a heartbeat away from Presidency.How many companies out there hire bullies,abusers of power and liars ? No wonder she will do anything, and say anything true or false to get that VP job, cause in the real world she is what she has proven to be.As a stockholder I would never want her working for any comapny that I invest in

to Jeff Schade: McCain is not only taxing your employer sponsored health benefits, he is giving you a tax credit to cover it - it washes out financially. In the end, all you end up with is more freedom since you can use the credit anywhere and won't be forced to take what your employer offers you.

Oh, so now you all love Hillary? Flakey idiots. What about Obama's ties to ACORN, fraud, lying, cheating, domestic terrorists (Ayers)? All those things he just "didn't know about". And this man is a Harvard grad…..seems like a typical crook to me.

It is so funny to see all the negativity and all the selective screening by CNN on the posts. Say something negative about Obama and it does not seem to get on the board. No wonder McCain and Palin have to bring it to the people themselves. Hollywood and the media are the negative ones.

I heard that Hillary may not run for president again. I hope she's not serious, but in case she is, people should write her and show her their support. She's the real deal, not the likes of Palin. I'd like to see her run again.

And I do hope Obama wins this time. The country needs unity not division.

JBW…YOU are irrelevant dear.

Hillary should be the next President. But instead, it looks like we're gonna elect the most inexperienced, unqualified candidate to ever be put on a major ticket, during a time of war and recession.

Hmm…and I thought my fellow Americans were smart! Guess again.

Should've been Hillary, and now we'll all pay dearly with either of these weasles left in the game. Congrats America….you pushed out the qualified one with gifted and brilliant ideas to restore our Country!

Gee, how about pointing out that some Obama freaks are wearing shirts with nasty comments about Palin. Hillary and all women in this country should be offended by the Obama campaign promoting such disgusting behavior. How quick we forget how negative with the personal attacks Obama was to Hillary. Hillary, you're looking like an idiot at this point.

why did Hillary commend McCain for coming to Obama's defense? What actually happened was that some crazy lady told McCain that Obama was "an Arab", at which point McCain took the mic and said, Obama was a "decent man", as if the word Arab meant non-decent person.

My wife and I fully believe that Hillary should fill the next Supreme Court vacancy. This is the position we believe she will shine in. She would end up being one of the greatest Supreme Court justices in history. We plan to bombard President Obama pressing on this issue.

United States of America—Divided we Fall; Thanks McCain/Palin your camp is painting a ugly picture of our Country. With all due respect there are people out there whom are not educated enough to know better as well has being traped back in time. If you continue to use your current tactics, please do with some degree of integrity.

I am an HRC former support. I was almost about to support John McCain until he pick Palin. Obama became the more safe choice. In addition, the Republicans keep focusing on Obama and not the Nations problems.

Furthermore, John McCain may still have cancer. What if he can’t finish his first term? I am then stuck with his nurse….OH heck NO

THANK YOU HILLARY!! Everybody should be slamming it! The McCain/Palin ticket and their group of thugs need to be silenced once and for all and the only way to do this is to VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN ON NOVEMBER 04!!

Someone said, "Hillary is irrelevant". People such as Pres. and Sen. Clinton will never be "irrelevant". They inspire the people of this nation for a better tomorrow—one that has been squandered by Bush. I supported her when she ran for president, and I support her now. She knws what's going on, and McBush ought to be ashamed of himself.

hard to imagine a campaign so negative that Ms Clinton thinks it is too much. But, apparently it is possible

Issues only please, McCain.

I do not want to pay taxes on my Healthcare.

Bad choices = No McCain

Hillary did Barack a favor by giving him a chance to address the issue during the primaries. It's old news now.

McCain has nothing NEW to hit Barack with during these tough economic times.

Voters are turned off by such petty charges against Obama at a time when we can't afford to stay in our homes.

McCain better start addressing the economy, and quit painting Barack as a terrorist sympathizer. Only Republicans who are already voting for McCain are willing to listen to such nonsense.

Look who's talking! I admire that she stepped up to the party plate (although Bill seems to be a sore loser), but she stooped just as low as McCain and his idiot child running mate.

Hillary, I love you, but do you remember your campaign? I do agree Hillary actually helped to take the sting away from a lot of McCain's material because she has already been there, and has done that. Scott L, I think that a man who paid off his student loans by writing a book which made him wealthy is all about capitalism. Do you understand what it takes for a society to move towards socialism? Do you understand what socialism is?

You've got to be kidding me??? I was a huge Hillary supporter but I am taken aback. Is she for real? McCain is not half as bad as her campaign was. She should really keep her mouth shut before her supporters begin to dislike her.

I'm sure China, India and Russian are laughing at us while they are agressively moving forward. And what are we doing here when the economy is failing, McCain and Palin are practicing hate and division. How can we possibly advance in the global world which is made up of all ethnic groups when are leaders teach intolerance based on the color of ones skin.

Way to go Hillary! So thoughtful and intelligent….

Was just hoping that you'd have gone a little further along the lines of Campbell Brown last night of stating in no uncertain terms that being a muslim or an arab is not a slur.

Furthermore the minority that believe the lattermust be reminded that their are Arab christians as well.

We still love ya….

143 days as a liberal senator and he is qualified to be president. Hmmmmm, maybe I should be CEO of the company I am working at. I have been there 9 months.

First of all, despite all the insinuation that Obama is not being "truthful", all the fact checkers have supported Obama in this instance. Also, if anyone who ever had any contact with Ayers is a "terrorist" or "supports terrorists". then I would guess that a lot Republicans would fall into this group. Finally, it is fine for McCain to contradict a voter at a rally and tell the crowd that indeed Obama is a US citizen and a decent person but somehow that message does not seem to have gotten to Sarah Palin and others in the campaign!

Hillary is absoutely right.. it's not what you say, it's how you say it and the way you want people to interpret it. Inciting a crowd by relating Obama as a terriost is hands-down wrong and is a LIE. Giving the sensivity of 9/11, Palin and McCain should have known the aftermath of their comments. I became frighten for Obama when I heard people yell out "KILL HIM" TERRIOST, TREASON"… I started to think, we were back in the 1800's or the 60's which reflected one the most volatile times in US history for the way blacks were treated in the South. This is just another example of McCain/Palin political stunts that backfired.. It's time for America to be united as one and we don't need politicans who are trying to divide the country.

It is very important Americans realize that we have the opportunity to make right the wrongs of this country and show the world we can co-exist as One Nation Under God.

I have been censored by CNN for telling the truth? OBAMA is causing the economic downturn…. look at all the money he could be giving to the poor and downtrodden… instead he is taking it from them and giving it to the elitists in the entertaininment and advertising industries. Obama is a lousy actor and not a worhty of the office he presently holds!

Hillary can't really say too much about this since she herself has done the same thing in the past. But she is right.

That one is focused on our country. That one is more skilled from his short tenure in Congress than McCain's 20+ yrs. That one has not stooped to one of the lowest level of politics one can go by levying countless character smears and attacks. That one at 46 has shown more resolve and wisdom than McCain at 72. That one is my choice, the only choice.

IF MCCAIN KNOWS HOW TO FIX OUR ECONOMY, THEN WHY ARE WE IN THIS AWFUL SHAPE, HE'S BEEN UP THERE ALL OF BUSHS TERM, HE'S JUST AS GUILTY AS BUSH, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

In very simple terms, McCain lacks the character and temperament to be president. And Palin is simply a disgrace.

If people were actually thinking, how could Obama get past the FBI and run for President if he was really non-American with terrorist ties? And, what about G. Gordon Liddy, McCain, and the AIP, Palin? That's a little more current than what Ayers did 40 years ago. Those hate rallies held by McCain and Palin last week sent a message loud and clear - Country First is bs and reaching across the isle is lip service.

I say we put Clinton, Caribou Barbie and Prescription Barbie in a ring and let them go at it.

Now THAT's a "debate" I would watch LOL

I'm really tired of people commending John McCain for coming to Obama's defense with the lady that said he was an Arab…Am I the only one that thinks that lady was a "plant"? McCain was just trying to bring out his "soft side"…And the guy that said he was scared of an Obama presidency at the same at the same rally??? Another "plant".

Let's get real. Hillary is a fighter. She is smart and knows that Obama and the Democrats will help the economy. She knows that Obama is the more Presidential of the two candidates.
Does she wish she was running for President right now, instead of Obama?. Of course, but she is a good American that has licked her wounds and will do right for her country.
I hope she gets a cabinet position and can work on a health care plan. She deserves the chance.
Go GIRL.

Joe from Oklahoma October 14th, 2008 10:54 am ET

Did you noticed that Hillary did not wink once?
No "you betcha" and heaven forbid "I'll have to get back to ya".

Hillary represents the truly enlightened women of this country.

Ladies…THIS IS YOUR ROLE MODEL.

Right or wrong…Agree or disageree…
I would like to see President Obama offer Sen. Clinton a Cabinet post…WE THE PEOPLE need her experience

I agree. She should be secretary of state … at least!

What a surprise that McCain comes out with his economic plan a day after Barack! He is such a copy cat and a follower. He always waits to see what Obama is going to do so that he can copy it and claim it as his own…what an idiot. Nov. 4th can't arrive soon enough.

PUMAs, she's talking to you too. Don't vote out of spite. Vote on the issues, unless you never cared about the issues to begin with… Check yo' self.

Hillary is a joke.
McCain is flinging all the same mud she flung at Obama during the primaries.
And now she claims HE is being too negative.
Hey Hillary - you wrote McCain's playbook!

If McCain & Palin aren't careful, they will have Obama's blood on their hands. Watching "Bobby" again this weekend reminded me of the tragic consequences of conservative-driven hatred.

Yeah, but McCain=Bush is positive, right?

The Democrats all so busy telling the McCain Campaign how to run it's business, that they forget the truth about themselves.

One finger pointed at you, three fingers pointed back at me.

There are all kinds of issues people have to consider before casting their vote but the one very troubling issue is John McCain's failing health in both the physical and mental realms.

No honest person thinks Sara Palin is a capable replacement for John McCain should their ticket win this election. Likewise some people think the U.S. can't go under without strong leadership.

The best advice I would give is for people to keep going to the Alaskan newspaper's web site and read the articles on Palin as the probe is now expanding into more ethics charges against her and the story won't be aired on the main stream medias. This is some seriour insight into some very serious stuff.

Peggy Said
"Does she really think she can dust this under the rug, along with all the other Obama dealings coming to light??? I don't think so."

Peggy Please I doubt any politician has a spotless past.

1)Keading 5
2)Iran Contra Ultra right wing group
3) voting against MLK holiday
4) Palin's husband and his separate buddies
5) Troopergate.

So the amerian people are supposed to focus on Obama's trangretions yet Whistle past McCain & Palin's. Ummm No.
So If you wanna let the dogs out be prepared for ALL of them to come running sister.

I find it so comical how dems are up in arms at how Senator McCain and Governor Palin are bringing to light NObama's questionable ties to people who preach hatred, and lack integrity. The only difference between NObama and McCain is that McCain has to do it himself because NObama has the media and Hollywood on his side. Sorry, I have nothing in common with Matt Damon or Madonna and their views on society. I am a working mother of three and I work very hard for my money and I have no plans to spread the weatlh. If the rest of you choose to live in a welfare state, then so be it. The only people I want to spread the wealth to is my children.

Hillary is the true definiton of an Intellectual & Strong woman .. not a phony, Liar & Idiot as Pale-In

Hillary is not irrelevant, far from it. I would say that 18,000,000+ votes is very relevant.

Well said Hill!! NY and the rest of us still love you!!

I just want to thank Hillary for making Obama stronger …. when they ran aganist each other … it was a test for obama and he won. She had him at his feet and he should thank her for it.

Good job Hillary!! The pathetic team of McBush and power abusing unethical Palin are done with, nobody listens to them or is interested in what they have to say!! I would be proud to vote for you in 2016 Hillary!!

Obama/Biden '08

I would have voted for her had she won, but she did not not and it has shown since she lost. She is dreaming if she thinks she has a shot in 2012. She has done noting to help Obama nor his campagin, sure a few speechs here and there, but that has been it. So, what goes around, comes around, and I don't expect for you (Clinton) to come around again.

OBAMA/BIDEN……..(No help from the queen herself!!)

I wonder what role Hillary is gonna play in an Obama Adminstration? Maybe Supreme court Justice? Maybe Sec of Defence who knows but i bet shes gonna be somewhere in that cabinet!

The Ayers issue is a non issue. What the press and others fail to point out is that Bill Ayers is a private citizen just minding his own business. He's not a terrorist, and if I were him, I'd sue the McCain campaign for defamation of character.

There can be no question as to Hillary's support for the Obama/Biden ticket. Hillary would be great on the US Supreme Court! or as the 1st woman president after 8 years of an Obama presidency. Hillary bashers are really McCain/Palin supporters trying to sow dissension among Democrats.

Hopefully, THIS comment will make it to post, CNN.
Please vote on the issues and not on the popularity contest. It's frightening to hear the Republicans and radical right use anger and fear-breeding rhetoric when we have real issues to deal with.
Hillary's right- she went a bit negative too, but McCain/Palin are downright hateful and nasty.

While I am saddened that Hillary will not be our president,
given the remaining choices I stand behind Barack completely.

And while Hillary did partake in a bit of competition
(who wouldn't?) she never went extreme as John McCain
and Sarah Palin have and continue to do.

Hillary noticed she was not going to win, so she bowed
out gracefully. Something you will never see McCain do.
He just wants to keep on reminding everyone that he
'has the scars' from what, fifty some odd years ago?
Thank you for your service ages ago, McCain, but it's time
to come into 2008.

Move along and move aside for Barack Obama 2008!

Hillary, don't ever stop being who you are!

I actually think Hillary made Barack a better candidate by brining up the things she brought up during the primaries. Imagine what would happen if the nonsense about Ayers and Wright came out now.

Hillary is right on! Any woman or man that voted for her, should vote for Obama! "No way, no how, no McCain!"

Did you noticed that Hillary did not wink once?
No "you betcha" and heaven forbid "I'll have to get back to ya".

Hillary represents the truly enlightened women of this country.

Ladies…THIS IS YOUR ROLE MODEL.

Right or wrong…Agree or disageree…
I would like to see President Obama offer Sen. Clinton a Cabinet post…WE THE PEOPLE need her experience.

Alvino, did you see what Crist said about campaigning for McCain in Florida?

"We're pretty busy here, but we'll get to if we have time." LOL. Priceless!!

And Scott L, by the way, could you just go away? You're incredibly annoying. You equate Obama with socialism, but it's the Republicans pushing the bailout, adding pork to the bailout bill and it's McCain who's proposing the mortgage buy-up. Idiot.

Mrs. Clinton put Obama through the fire during their primary run, and Obama should thank her for that much. None of the Republican attacks are new. Democrats, and many independents, already made their decision on the validity of these claims, and it will not help McCain to dig up this long dead horse and beat it any longer.

I think McCain will bring these things up in the debate tomorrow, and it won't work. He'll likely come off as an overly agressive and angry person, who lacks the temperment to be President. We don't want to see these two tear each other down. We want to know how they will build America back up.

I have not been a Hillary fan in the past, and this does little to make me have a warm and fuzzy feeling towards her. The main thing she has done, is give a map to a lost, bumbling, group of McCain advisors on how to run a negative campaign. The point she makes about leadership is an important one. We all know that Presidents do not make national security decisions alone, they depend on their advisors. Lets take a look at the advisors that McCain has surrounded himself with. During the primary he hired and fired his first batch of consultants, and now during the general election it looks like he has surrounded himself with a staff that is lost, and has no direction. Makes you wonder what his cabinet would look like. I have no faith in his decision making. Obama seems to know how to pick the right people, who are focused and intelligent. You will hear McCain say he "knows what needs to be done" but never outlines it. Seems to be a more "Trust Me" approach. I bought a lemon car from a guy who said that to me and won't make that mistake again.

Thanks Hillary. I realize that not all of your former supporters will heed your advice (most of whom would never have voted for Obama no matter what) but I'm encouraged that most have realized as you have that Obama/Biden is really the only solution for America's future.

Given your actions since stepping down, you'd have my full support in whatever you do in the future.

Isn't McCain making the same arguments against Obama that she did.
Once again the Clintons mantra is "Do as I say, not as I do."
Pathetic

It's good to see Hillary and Bill living up to their statement and promise to help get Obama elected. They are great team players!

Obama/Biden '08!

it is about time she moved to the defense of someone other than herself….and quit protecing Mccain… Inciting hate and fear was started by her campaign but he took it to a new level along with his despicable VP pic…

I've heard that Hillary Clinton and John McCain are good friends.

It would be interesting to hear what Senator Clinton honestly thinks about V.P.-hopeful Palin. These two women are light-years apart in their levels of education, intellect, and ability, yet they keep getting lumped together. Awful.

Hillary should be the nominee. It sad that an inexperience person is the top of the democratic ticket. He will lose to McCain and Hillary will be back in 4 years. She knows he is not qualified but she has stand there and support him if she wants the support in 4 years.

Agree with Clinton. McCain has been too focused on negativity, including 100% of his ads lately. By his own admission, the attacks stem from lack of ideas. Thanks, but no thanks.

No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin

Senator Clinton, you are slowly winning me back in your corner. I am an AA woman and I have followed your rhetoric regarding Senator Obama and it is getting more positive. Can't say the same about your husband of 33 years, former President Bill Clinton. He needs to wake up and get on board…………………this could be such a win win for him as well.

This is about the ONLY time I am supporting Hillary.. LOL… GO HILLARY GO!!! And change those voters opinion here in Arkansas while your at it LOL.

The negative ads, the constant back and forth on the economy, the backpedaling McCain does in regards to attacking Obama and calling him a terrorist… Does anyone see the deperation of the neoconservative party formerly know as the republicans?

Good job Hillary! However, the support is kind of lukewarm. She should go out there and campaign with Obama also, this would help convince some of the original Clinton supporters to vote for Obama.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08….in 3 weeks!

I'm still waiting for McCain to unveil his new plan of him having a plan that will fix everything and still not having a plan.

…and Palin answering questions not relating to the questions she's being asked.

Have you noticed how they both avoid anything & everything that has anything to do with issues or direct questions & answers?

THEY HAVE NOTHING!

Happy "O"vember everyone! Say this with me "President Barck Obama"

i want people to know that america will be always the best in the world. mccain and bush are trying to kill it

She's secretly telling McCain "look i've tried it and i lost, so try another strategy…..i want to run again in 2012!"

The louder that loony from alaska Sarah Palin goes negative the more votes swing in Obamas favour.
A real indication of how MacCain is doing is the decision in choosing her over Mit Romney. If MacCain had chosen Romney instead of Palin he would probably been ahead in the polls now. In choosing Palin he removed the argument that Obama was not qualified to be president. Sure Palin is running for VP but it does not remove the fact that MacCain is 72 with a history of cancer. Do you really want to take a chance on Palin getting anywhere near the nuclear button when she had shown how stupid and vicious she is over 'Troopergate' Which by the way she has been found guilty of. Dear god I hope Obama wins for all our sakes.

Thank you Senator Clinton.

Hillary

You make me proud to be a woman and a Democrat. You go girl. You stand up for what's right.

Obama/Biden 08

This is called 'Double Speak' When Clinton needed it, she used it against Obama but when someone else is using it, that's negative.

This is called double standard too. Clinton said during Primary ' you were palling with folks in shady comunity while I was working here' same exact McCain said but that was treated as Negative campaigning.

I am glad Clinton is helping Obama so she can retire her debt which was caused by Obama. Great going.

Now see, unlike certain power-abusing Governors, Senator Clinton is a woman that we can look up to. I sincerely hope she runs for office again someday, because she has a lot to offer.

I agree with MrS. Clinton, she is simply saying she tried going negative and it did not work and it wont work now and McCain should have known that. the economy is the issue this cycle and McCain should stay focused on this no. 1 issue. good advice from the next president of USA.

Mccain has nothing to offer the American people.
Barack is the man for the job. YES WE CAN !

I have no respect for Hillary voters who choose Mccain based on bitterness. No respect at all, you should all be ashamed to call yourself democrats. Palin and McCain both are laughing at all of you.

Thank you Madam Secretay of State!

Love you,
Obama-Biden 08

The only thing I've gotten out of McCain's message so far is that he's planning on increasing my taxes by about $3,000 a year by taxing my employer-sponsored health insurance.

Isn't Obama blaming the last 8 years on McCain??? Hillary had the most negative primary campaign I have ever seen. The Democrats will do absolutely ANYTHING to get a vote.

Hillary would have made a great President - she knows what she's talking about.

Just more signs that McCain just doesn't get it and it seems like he never will. Obama and Biden are about business and getting this country back on track…they get it!!!

Obama & Biden 08/12!!

McCain- Palin ticket is scary!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain lost the American people when he picked sister Sarah Palin.

McCain further dug himself into a hole when his ERATIC side took over!!!

His campaign pushed him over the edge when they left substance for slime!!!

God bless America.

You Are Right Hillary! Mccain Needs To Talk About The Issues! The Only Problem With That Is If Mccain Talks About The Issues He Is Going To Loose! So Dont Expect Mccain To Take Your Advice!

Good for her, but the sad part is that no matter how negative he has been, no matter how badly he has run his campaign, he will still win. Too many in middle America would rather have a man whose proven his incompetence in the running of his campaign and a woman who has proven unqualified and uninformed if they are white than a Black man who has proven himself capable, intelligent, aware of the issues and solution oriented.

McCain will when because America needs to learn a lesson. We may need to hit rock bottom so we are forced to evaluate our mentalities and priorities.

McCain said yesterday "I'm happy where I am" speaking to CNN's Dana Bash. I think in the race for the presidency, "happy where I am" doesn't cut it. To be 6 points down and be happy where you are tells me this guy doesn't care if he wins or not.

Palin on the other hand is probably not happy where she is. She freaked when McMaverick dropped out of Michigan. When she realizes they aren't going to win the election, she'll probably throw a gasket…and then we'll get to see the real Palin.

Yup - spot on - except the end result. If McCain keeps following Hillary's strategy and path - he'll win. Remember that Hillary would have been the Democratic nominee if it was a national primary election held in June.

Just a side note since most of the other articles are closed. The people who post here make the Huffington Post look calm, fair, and balanced. Someday soon, I hope, CNN will ajdust the policy to include some level of thoughtfulness or insight instead of just tossing up left-biased, off-topic, trash. Looking forward to dozens of anti-Palin posts…

That's what I call team player.

HRC everyone knows McCain /Palin both have hearing problem…they dont get it on time. It takes 5 months to tell them Obama wont raise taxes on all Americans..It took 5 weeks to get them to know that Ricky Davis their campaign manager was getting paid by freddie and fannie…It took 1 month for McCain to know that he was the highest paid on the list of Freddie and fannie…Tell them again maybe they will understand that Obama was 8 when Ayers bombed…and it was a Republican initiative board of education in Chicago that made Obama work with Ayers on education reforms.
Go Obama/Biden

So glad to see Hillary speaking out. There are still some angry Hillary people out there and they need to hear her and Bill speak up for the Democratic party and to support the issues. Thanks Hillary. You were great in Scranton on Sunday!

I've read these and other posts on CNN blogs for weeks without adding comments of my own. The recent round of blather, though, has me thoroughly fed up.

I'm an independent who approached this election initially with no particular leaning. I'm a Christian who believes that my God and your God are the same, and it is only our choice of how we worship God that differs. I also believe that most moderate, reasonable people in the country feel the same way.

I have one question that overrides all others that we are asking ourselves. If it is so important to you that your candidate be Christian, then so be it. They both are. But ask yourselves: WHICH CAMPAIGN IS ACTING MOST CHRISTIAN-LIKE? WHICH CAMPAIGN IS BEST FOLLOWING THE PRINCIPLES SET FORTH BY MOST, IF NOT ALL, RELIGIONS IN HOW WE TREAT EACH OTHER?

That's like Mike Tyson telling you you're mean to women.

Obama has addressed the issue a number of times. Unfortunately, each time the story changes, er… I mean "nuanced."

Now they all love Hillary.

At the end of the day - Hilary Clinton - is the best and the brightest - and she and Senator Obama always seemed to care first for the American people and their attacks on each other were not as egregious as the Palin attacks on Senator Obama - so she continues to be one of the elders of the Democratic Party and will someday be the first female president of the United States.

Hillary made the best speech of her life last week in Scranton.
Courageous, brilliant, spectacular.
All is forgiven.
Bill was not too bad on Biden either. Then again, he is always
brilliant.
The poor old retiree is still looking for his Buick in the Wall-Mart
parking lot.

“I’m confident that when the American people compare the Obama-Biden ticket with the McCain-Palin ticket and what each stands for, they going to support Sen. Obama,” said Clinton.

Big difference.
Obama/Biden stand for total change
McPalin equals total racism and lies.

Yes, Obama has addressed the Ayers issue a number of times, and it should be put to rest. McCain and Palin keep trying to paint this mystery about it, but they never talk specifically about what it is they are actually trying to say. Are they implying that Obama's a terrorist? If so, come out and say it to his face, and support it with facts.

There's obviously plenty of smoke from McCain and Palin on this issue, but no fire.

Politics is a nasty game, as everybody knows, as are many video games. Parents have worried that their kids will let their "video" characters guide their "human" characters. Palin seems to be a video mom as well as a hockey mom…loving every minute of the barefisted fighting and bashing. Why does she remind me of Chavez…foment hatred, abuse authority, control oil, build the case for weapons. Hey honey, have you taken a look lately at the kinds of people at your rallies - you really willing to sell your soul for them?

Hillary: You can't haze our pledges, only we can haze our pledges

i love hillary, man. she is a true leader

you go Hillary, we're getting are faith back in you.

no wonder there are more democrats than republicans these days,all you have to do is listen to mrs clinton and compare her to mrs baracutta.there is a long way between hilary and palin,she is so intelligent and smart,and i would have voted for her with no hesitation.

Hiliary spoke in Horsham PA. yesterday and she was GREAT! The focus of her message was to say there is really only one clear choice in this election, Obama/Biden.

Personally, if we win this election I would love to see Hiliary as Secretary of State. Can you imagine Obama, Biden and Clinton all working together,

For she's a LADY…

Way to go Hillary!. Now McCain wants to blame ACORN on Obama. What is next? Katrina, Gustav, Ike? Do you notice how McCain will never take responsibility for anything? It is always someone elses fault. I can hear it now- Iran (or country of your choice) made me do it. It wan't my fault!. McCain is a coward.

If we ever get out of these dark days of attack-your-opponent-at-all- costs, I'm pretty sure we'll look back with some sense of awe. How did we stray so far from what Americans are supposed to stand for? It's amazing what fear can do.

No, she is not spot on. The issue has been dealt with during her primary run. Her response should have been that this is an old issue and Sen. Obama proved it wrong. For McCain/Palin to question Sen. Obama's character is misleading and purely negative. Again, she appears to take the high road and defend McCain.

What else can she say ???….she said the same nasty things when she was running AGAINST Obama !!

poor hillary - she's become a puppet of the party. Did she forget that obama accused her campaign of negativity when she was merely trying to point out BHO's shortcomings?

The evil that men and women do live with them,not after them any longer.

Madam Clinton sow all this seed in her desperation to be the nominee.

Mccain ,why can´t you learn from what happened to Madam Clinton.

Come January 20th 2009, you will standing on your fit to welcome prsident Obama in his swearing inn ceremony.

If you don´t come,then i will confirm that you are a sadist,not country first.

A fool at 72 is a fool forever.

Does she really think she can dust this under the rug, along with all the other Obama dealings coming to light??? I don't think so. The American people are surely smarter than the democrats are hoping. Most of us don't go to rallies and scream and holler, but you can bet we are doing our own investigation of the parties that are running for office. There are a lot more of us than you might want to believe.

Well say senator

John, you're getting hit from every angle. First the congressman, now Hillary. All of us told you that your negativity will have a backlash. Well don't look now………whoooop. Pack it up and go home. Don't forget your chihuaha either.

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON 08

Hillary was the one who got the ball rolling with the smears..what i she left to do but safe face..She is a skilled politician and it is a shame though that there was no room for her in the obama ticker..Having said that, she has helped rughed him up to a point where he is immune to attacks these days..

Way to go Senator Clinton!

I see a future Secretary of State for sure.

We need more of Bill too!

Go Hillary go!!! Jobs, baby jobs!!!! See you president in 2016!

Obama/Biden 08

McCain should have never, I mean NEVER selected Pailin! "I'm mad, and it ain't about the economy!"

Dear Hillary: You got it right but DON'T enocurage the McCain/Palin camp to do the honorable thing. Their strategy is helping Obama. Let's focus on getting people to turn out in droves on E-Day and let's make sure that 1) all the machinery is up and running, and 2) there are no fear tactics targetting people who are unsure of their eligibility.

She is soooooo right. Hillary is an amazing woman

Hillary will be in an Obama cabinet as part of that good team, too.

CAPITALISM———-IS———-NOT———AMERICAN—

IT——IS——A—–FAILED—–PHYLOSOPHY—–WHICH—-BREEDS—–GREED——-AND——-POVERTY

Keep up the GOOD WORK!!! You know how it feel to be attacked and i am happy to see you are out there supporting the party. I am sure you will get a better job than the VP slot for your efforts. Sec State would be a great possition.

This campaign has become stupid…….bring on realy issues…i want to be able to trust this political system. Get people up there that will talk about the issues and not just bash each other.

Ron Paul 2012

Thanks for the support now Hill…but honestly…you did give them some insight on how to attack!

As a registered republican, I recieved a request for money from the McCain/Palin ticket. I sent the empty envelop back.

I also voted for Obama/Biden this morning in early voting, and it felt good!

If ever the truth was told , Hillary did it! McBush may have a decent proposal—yeah, right—but all we hear is a bunch of negativity and scare tactics from the right. The only thing they're saying is, "we're not better, but he's scary". How sad!

Hillary has the nerve to talk about Obama's relationship with Ayers. She paved the way for the Repugs during the primary for many of the attcks that Obama is enduring right now.

Clinton can campaign for obama every day, and twice on sunday, from now till eternity, and I will never forgive her 3 am ad against Obama. Talk about over the top…Mark Penn should crawl into a hole, and never come out.

It's so painfully obvious that the Clintons cannot bring themselves to endorse Obama wholeheartedly. They continue to put on a really painful public spectacle of bad sportsmanship, and every time they open their mouths they do Obama as much harm as good. Go back to Westchester County, Bill and Hillary - I don't think Obama needs friends like these.

She's knows from her own personal experience..
Hillary, Thanks

Obama/Biden 08

Thank you for your support.

Wow, a Democrat who is actually intellectually honest! Too bad they did not nominate her or this election would be over for sure. Liberals want to blame Republicans for bringing up Obama's shady allies and his poor judgement rather than blaming Obama for cohorting with those people in the first place! It is utter lunacy. Liberals do not stand for anything positive, this entire election is a backlash of the Bush Administration. Obama has offered nothing substantive. He has simply pointed fingers and the lemming Liberals and average uninformed voters are lapping it up. Pathetic

There's some backhanded support for you. Not even Hillary truly believes in the Lord High Obama.

you all know that the polls are very scewed. They over sample democrats and they don't take into account how many people will pull the McCain lever once the voting curtain is pulled and no one see.

love you still, and hope to see you in '16 girlfriend!

After McCain/Palin finish destroying what is left of the Republican Party, I hope that Gov. Crist and Sen Martinez of Florida pick up what is left and try to put honor back in the GOP.

Tell them Hill…..afterall you should know best…..you tried the same strategy earlier and got your butt whipped!

Hillary will be a great cabnet member for President Obama!!! She finally will get her health care plan put through. It should have been done 10 years ago!!!
God bless Obama/Biden and the Clintons!!!

Well done, Senator.

Hillary Clinton made Obama a stronger candidate. If she dropped out early or never brought up Ayers/Rezco/Wright, the GOP would be having a orgy on those issues today and Obama would be down by 30 points.

Thank you Hillary for being a tough opponent. Sarah Palin can't shine your shoes.

Notice she NEVER said Obama should be President or was the best person to be President.

She said she expected the American people to vote for Obama.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Why can't Senator Clinton actually say it?

Because she knows he is not yet ready to lead the United States… not at this critical point in history.

This election is not just about the economy… it's about who will Protect the US in the very unstable world of terrorists and enemies building nuclear weapons.

It doesn't matter how much money you make from your job if your future… your children's future… is not safe.

YEA TAXES! VOTE FOR SOCIALISM!

YEA OBAMA! RAISE TAXES!

WHEN $250K DOESN'T CUT IT , HE WILL DROP TO 150K.

REMEMBER DEMOCRATS ALREADY SAID WITH STIMULUS CHECKS THIS SUMMER THAT 150K (COMBINED) WAS THEIR DEFINITION OF RICH!

YEA TAXES! RAISE THEM HIGH! GO GO GO!

YEA OBAMA! YEA SOCIALISM! YES YES YES WE CAN RAISE TAXES HIGH HIGH HIGH!

Yes. We don't care about who Obama once served on a board with.

We want answers abhhout the economy. Obama's providing good ones. End of story.

Darn right!

We love you Hillary! Thanks for all the hard work you've done to help Obama get elected! Time for the BEST person to get the job! Who cares if you would have a beer with them when you probably never will anyway.

Obama/Biden 2008 and beyond, for our future.

Yeah right Hillary…we all remember your campaign when you thought Obama wasn't fit to lead and how you slung the "stuff" just like everyone else is doing, to include Obama.
Get over it Hillary…unless John wins, you are sunk.

McCain is just OLD!!!!

Hillary is irrelevant….

Hillary is spot on!
