HillaryClinton.com goes Obama-centric
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/06/07/art.hrcboweb0607.hrc.jpg caption="Sen. Clinton's campaign Web site took on a new look Saturday as she endorsed Sen. Barack Obama."]
WASHINGTON (CNN) – In concert with her speech Saturday, the banner image across Hillary Clinton’s Web site flipped to “Support Sen. Obama today.”
The site – which has been a central part of Clinton’s fund-raising efforts and a signature part of her speeches – now asks supporters get behind Sen. Barack Obama and “together we can write the next chapter in America’s story.” The box alongside the email sign-up, however, still solicits contributions to her campaign.
Clinton has suspended her presidential campaign. By suspending instead of dropping out, she technically remains a candidate, entitled to keep statewide pledged delegates and district-level delegates.
A video message on the site, posted four days ago, thanks her supporters, telling them: “I could not have made this part of the journey without you,” but makes no mention of the presidential nominee.
Update: Sen. Obama has returned the favor online. The Obama campaign's Web site has been altered to allow visitors to leave messages of thanks for Sen. Clinton. Click here to see this new feature on the Obama site.

Both candidates are honorable men so this election the choice is very simple; If you think this country has been on the right track and you support Bush's policies and want four more years of it, vote for McCain. If you think that this country should go in a different direction and want to see change, vote for Obama.
Obama '08
We H.R. Clinton supporters will be watching Obama and how Senator
Clinton is treated, what part she will play in the Democratic Party.
IF Senator Clinton is happy then we may vote for Obama, if she is not
happy, we the silent majority of women will have our voices heard
loud and clear come the November General Election. Have no Fear
about that!
I knew this move would be one of the first they would make. I know Hillary is in debt, but using her website touting Obama to raise donations for Obama supporters to pay off her debt is not right. She stayed in the race too long and now her debt should not be our or Obama's problem for that matter.
this is kinda funny. all the obama supporters are suddenly "welcoming" hillary supporters with open arms. WOW. if you'd shown even 10% of this kindness during the course of the campaign, maybe i'd buy it, but certainly not now. i'd prefer you just shut your mouths and let us determine, on our own, how we want to proceed with our support and our votes.
United we stand and divided we fall, and if our backs should ever be against the wall, we'll be together, together, you and I.
No woman, no cry.
My vote leaves now that Hillary has been destroyed by her own party.
I love you Hillary.
do I need to write any more than what is listed. My vote will go for McCain even if I am democrat. Voting for McCain is not going against Hillary or DNC, the DNC went against Hillary and CNN so why should I vote for them.
The Hillary supporters better think long and hard before they pull that lever for McCain. They are condeming our troops to coninue fighting in Iraq in a bad war and all because thier candidate lost. I can't believe that people would be so selfish. I hope that is not the case. This isn't a football game and your favorite team lost. this is our future and I hope they think more of it then to continue on in this petty manor.
The support Obama form becomes a donate money to Hillary campaign!!!
Common CNN do a bit more due diligence before posting the campaign PRs verbatim.
I get asked all the time whether I think Hillary lost because sexism is worse than racism in this country. The answer is no. She lost because Obama ran a smarter, better-organized campaign. It’s possible that she would have won if the Democratic Party had more rational primary rules. But Obama didn’t make up the rules, and Clinton had no problem with them until she began to lose.
Farwell, Time for a new chapter in American political arena.
Very gracefull Hillary. You will be missed.
Obama 08
my vote will not go to obama
Our best hope was pulverized by the hatred tha Obama encouraged and inspired in his supporters.
Think twice before voting for Obama.
Do you WANT to be a part of that hateful vitriolic gang?
Some of Clinton' s supporters will vote for Obama. She will grin and bear this humiliation and the conspiracy led by Howard Dean. There will be some group hugs for a while and the Dems will feel good. Then, McCain will announce either Gov. Palin or Secretary of State Rice for VP and the curtains will come down on this travesty called the Democratic Party. They have made the mistake once. America will not make the same mistake twice and will reject Obama in droves.
McCain/ Palin '08
I understand its human nature but i do wish we would stop dissecting every single comment foolishly. Politicians are human beings too. All democrats need to act mature and unite the party. think responsibly and long term. A vote for McSame will not improve your personal lives.!
As the song says, Hillary, you are
"Simply the BEST, better than all the rest..."
If you're not on the ticket, I have to vote for experience somewhere else. I guess that would John McCain..............
At least he is as honest and straightforward as you are, even if he lacks your knowledge. It beats voting for Obama and his new toy, Howard Dean.
With Hillary out of the way....Thank God for hate...
I am now free to leave this UNdemocratic party and the way they permitted Obama to trash his better opponent.
Obama inspired his people to utilize a strategy of hate to eliminate Hillary from the race.
Make his manipulative propagands fail.
Thank you Sen. Clinton. We thank you for your support. We respect you and your family. It was a great speech. Now, all democrats should unite & elect a democrat to the white house. We have the support of independents, and yes some republicans too.
Obama lost my vote when he mocked and jeered Hillary with his silly Annie Oakley act.
Then he pushed it when he brushed Hillary off his shoulder.
Why unify now?
Is it me? Or is there something desperate about the "suspension vs conceding" thing? If Hillary was all that wholehearted about supporting Obama, wouldn't she bow out gracefully? ( it did take her a week to regain her composure sufficiently to endorse Obama ) It's behaviour like this which caused doubt in my mind towards her.
Dear Clinton Supporters,
For any of you that are considering voting for John McCain now, just remember that the blood of the first American soldier who dies in Iraq after Jan. 20 2009 will be on your hands as well.
I also would like to ask why Sen. Obama is referred to as the first African American nominee and not the first Mixed Race nominee. He is as white as he is black, raised by a white mother. It seems highly disrespectful disregarding her ethnicity considering the sturggles she faced raising him alone, something which he often refers to!
Isn't Obama the guy that BRUSHED Hillary off his shoulder?
The leftist Bush- cocky, arrogant, boastful and dismissive- but no message or actions or experience or qualifications.
You fools- Hillary was the show. She is what created OUR excitement.
Not this puppet who would be dictator.
i think that this is a great step towards unity. hillary and obama supporters united is a very threatening force for the republicans. i'll definitely be donating money!
obama 08
That was a very good speech Sen. Clinton gave.
Congratulation to to Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama.
This primary was one the the best.
