Closing Arguments: Should Clinton Stay or Go?

Never give up!
She has the right to stay!
She has with stood more than the other Candidates and going strong, kudos to her.
She is Strong, Determined and for the people.
She would beat McCain. She would Defend and Protect this nation. She will be for all citizens.
Hillary is not Quitter.

i give hillary alot of respect me being a woman im proud of her i dont think she should give up until its over but its pretty clear obama has won and i think the best thing hillary could do is support him and i think we should all come together to defeat john mccain

I dont think she should totally pull out, but rather suspend her campaign. Anything can happen in this crazy election and if she just suspends it, it can be revived at any time. She has fought one heck of a race, but she does need to step aside now in order to solidify her own political future and unite the party. I wish it were the other way around, but again it aint over until August.

There is nothing ABC news can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President. About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone Jr., told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. This information can be obtained from one of his published works on CD entitled “Strange Patterns of Recent American Presidents.” On track 7 of this CD, he tells us that Sen. Clinton will once again be in the White House. So give it up ABC News. And Barack, your days are numbered.

The black pro-self-rule and Third World Nationalists are running the Democratic Party they are acting that like they are in Zimbabwe not America. The Democratic Party over the weekend showed for the first time that Democracy has failed by the impact of stealing votes away from voters and awarding them to Obama. They decided the intent of the voters! And that’s okay. Everyone in the room should have just gotten up and walked out but they didn’t, maybe because most do not realize the impact of what just happened. A lady called Harriet Christian did speak up and she was appalled and was escorted from the room. She probably was the only real American left in the room. So you lower the bar on Tuesday, so that Obama can reach the nomination, you give him extra delegates and you tell the woman it’s time to call it a day even though she has received more votes throughout the country. And, you let this third world interest in our country take over without even looking into what is happening. McCain will win by a landslide because you’ve not only lost the 17 million voters but another group—those that love America.

Obviously, if Hillary Clinton wins in Montana and/or South Dakota she should stay in the race and fight.
However, as a supporter (philosophically and monetarily) of Hillary Clinton, I can honestly say that once the nomination is settled, it means I don’t have to listen to political rhetoric and campaign speeches.
If it turns into an “Obamanation”, as Howard Dean and his buddies are dictating, my wife and I will be voting for McCain, and there will be no further need to listen to endless arguments.
If nothing else, this campaign has been extremely tiresome. The Democrats had a shoe-in victory in November with Hillary Clinton, but they’ve thrown it all away.
A possible positive side-effect of McCain’s election would be for Democrats to close the Star Chamber as it is presently configured.

Why should the winer drop out??? The whole process is a joke.

Sen Clinton,
Do not give up.

I heard the Republics has a tape about Michelle Obama speach at her church calling for killing white Americans.
Clinton will most likely suspend her campaign tomorrow, and then wait for the tape coming out in October.

I would like to see Hillary stay the course and wait until the convention is over and she is declared the winner – not only by popular vote but by common sense. She and her family have given this campaign their all. She has campaigned in all states – whether she was ‘projected’ to win or not. That can not be said for another candidate who will go unmentioned. I am thoroughly disgusted with the way this campaign has been waged. Their does not seem to have been any media respect for Hillary and her campaign. There is not a news network that you put on or a paper that you read that does not portray Mr. Obama as the Democratic candidate even though he has not been given that honor. IF (as it has been stated by these same news programs and newspapers) Mr. Obama does get the Democratic nod my family (my extended family) and I will be voting for Mr. McCain unless Hillary is put on the ticket as a candidate for another party.

Hillary has many reasons to stay in the race. Soon news wll come that will make millions so glad she did. Here is one of the reasons…http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06/02/thread-4-michelle-obama-and-louis-farrakhan-take-on-whitey/#comment-306519

oldgaman asks: “Why is it an article like this shows up on the eve of every primary?”
Duh… is it maybe because the news media have been “in bed with” the DNC from the get-go?
Hillary should continue to defy “orders from above” and stay in the race. The more the public learns about Obama, the better Hillary looks!

Well since Howard Dean has finally come forward to now admit Hillary was recieving way more than her fair share of sexist remarks I think she should stay in the race. Frankly thats the only prayer the Democrats have of winning the White House in November. There is a gathering storm thats going to decend upon the democratic Party for the mistreatment of Hillary Clinton in this race by mysogny boys in the media. I’ll give charlie Gibson a pass because I never heard him say an unkind word concerning Hillary. There are women uniting all over this country as I write this getting ready to leave the Democratic Party. They feel as though the Democrats have handed this election to Obama which they have and we are not happy about it. I have been a life long democrat and if Hillary is denied I’m not voting Democrat ever again. which means i’ll vote for John McCain in the GE.

What is there to stay for? Tomorrow night?

Here is a news from Fox News:
Obama’s Ex-Church Has Won $15M in Federal Grant Money
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/06/02/obamas-ex-church-has-won-15m-in-federal-grant-money/
Why does ABC not report this kind of news instead?

Go? go where? she is a democrat and will stay a democrat. Many candidates lose but it doesnot mean that it is the end. She has to stay and play the role she dedicated her life for. politic is an ugly game but not a war. At the same time it is wrong to put her lose on obama, or DNC or sexism. she simply conducted a campain that failed to attract the number or people or delegates she need to get the nomination.

Hillary is not Quitter.
Hillary is the BEST candidate for Presidency, McCain is the second BEST.
We, the voters will decide in November and confirm this truth.

The reality is both candidates ran a hard race, and only one person could win. Clinton prepared for a sprint, and Obama prepared for a marathon. It’s not an issue of race or gender. Clinton was out-strategized by a freshman senator. Where was her “experience” to save her from that?
Posted by: LR | Jun 2, 2008 10:26:58 PM
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She was out strategized by dirty old school Chicago style politics, if you ask me.

If past history is anything to go by, Obama won’t try to win head-to-head with McCain but, as he did in Chcago, fight dirty and try to discredit McCain in some way(s) still to be determined. He definitely fights dirty, or rather, he gets people to fight dirty for him

I am really upset that Cynthia McFadden stated that Hillary was the most viable female in history that ran for President. Did she forget Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm (November 30, 1924 – January 1, 2005) was an American politician, educator and author [1]. She was a Congresswoman, representing New York’s 12th District for seven terms from 1969 to 1983. In 1968, she became the first African-American woman elected to Congress. On January 23, 1972, she became the first major party African-American candidate for President of the United States. She won 152 delegates.[2], [3] Other women who ran for President of the United States in 1972 include Linda Jenness and Evelyn Reed.
I must let you know that as a reporter of her stature her words were a disgrace to a race of Black women and to especially a misrepresentation of American History.
Mrs Clinton is in the race and is a viable candidate. Sen. Clinton is not just the most viable woman. She is just in the right part of American history, and Mrs. Chisholm was right in her history making also. Ms. McFadden should make a retraction to her statement. I think she was rude and one sided in her opinion.
Sincerely,
Marguerite

STAY!!! It’s not over yet. She will beat McCain, but Obama might not. She is for the people. She will be a strong leader. She must stay.

Stay… we are still behind you, Hillary.

Hillary Clinton should STAY in the race.

It’s time for Hillary TO GO!!!!! She’s done enough damage to the Democratic Party for about 10 election cycles. Let’s see, she’s race-baited Obama, invoked his possible assassination, crowed that she’s won the “hard-working voters, white voters,” implied she didn’t know whether he was a Muslim or not, and called on hysterical harpies to scream at Saturday’s meeting of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee. Oh yes, and she never admitted that voting to approve the Iraq war was a mistake. And she’s run a terrible campaign based on inevitability and entitlement. Most of all, she’s done everything she could to try to destroy the most visionary, talented, inspirational, and truly wonderful candidate the Democrats have had since J.F.K. So, yes… She should go, and go now!!!!! Was there any question???? Long, long ago (last December, that is!) I actually admired Hillary, and deeply admired Bill Clinton. But they have hideously tarnished their legacy of service to this country. Hillary is very sad, and I pity her. But it’s time for her to exit the stage and make room for the next President of the United States. Period. Maybe if she does everything within her power to support Barack Obama in the general election, she can redeem herself slightly; otherwise, she’ll be consigned to the trash heap of selfish, arrogant, deluded, megalomanic politicians. GObama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay and fight! We need you Hillary! You are the only candidate that realizes what kind of President this country really needs! We are behind you 110%! We believe in you!!!!

She should go. She has not won the popular vote you fail to recgonize the people who have voted in the caucuses. IF you count all the votes Barack Obama has the popular vote. HIlary Clinton should join unite the party so that her legacy will be that she helped the country to elect the first african american as president of the united states of america.

THE MEDIA HAS BEEN HAVING THIS DEBATE SINCE JANUARY
IT IS YOUR DEBATE.
TELL US WHAT YOU THINK, THEN WE’LL ALL SAY, “NO DEAL”
YOU ALL SPAT ON OUR FACES AND THIS IS PAYBACK TIME.
SHE LEAVES WHEN SHE WANTS
SO ANSWER THE DEBATE
“DEAL OR NO DEAL?”
HER SUPPORTERS SAY, YOU AND DNC PARTY OF DIRTY OLD MEN, THE ANTI-CLINTONS, CAN BURN IN HELL!!
AND TAKE OBAMA TOO!!

Yes, she should stay in. This race is a virtual dead-heat with less than a 1% difference in the popular vote. Hillary is gaining momentum while Obama has been fading for the past 3 months. The job of the superdelegates is to chose the candidate that can win in November. Every poll shows Hillary is that candidate. Clinton should stay in – she is the individual that can win in the contest that really matters.

Hillary should go! It was over a long time ago and she has just prolonged the pain of this election. Obama will defeat McCain because the country cannot afford more years of the Bush failed policies. McCain has embraced those policies nad it just makes me sick. Obama can restore our standing the world.
Personally the best person for the job was Edwards, but we must move on to the next choice and the best choice left is Obama!

I hope Hillary will stay in regardless of the outcome. I personally will vote for her, even if I have to write her in come November. I have been a Republican all my life, although I will crossover because of deplorable amnesty issues for illegal immigrants from the McCain camp!
Sincerely,
JCory Vargason, Disabled USAF Veteran

Hillary should not throw in the towel. Info is now coming out about irregularities in some of the less sophisticated caucus districts – particularly in Texas – and reports are that Obama received more delegates than he deserved. If his people have not run a clean campaign, and the public is made aware of it, it may cook the rest of his goose, which is already feeling a lot of heat. Depositions have been made to Congressional committees that the last two Presidential elections were stolen by Karl Rove sitting at his laptop in his office; for “one of our own” to pull such stunts may be too much for decent members of the Democratic Party to take.
Hang in there Hillary. It’s not over until it’s over. Polls show that you have the best chance to beat McCain of the two candidates. We need a victory in November.

There’s an old quote that goes: “It ain’t over ’til it’s over!” Regardless of the ‘black man trumps ANY woman’ attitude, there’s still a few months of chance that the ‘golden boy’ could screw up again. Of course all this rhetoric means bupkiss since the ‘popular vote’ is meaningless. Dubya proved that one. The first Continental Congress must be spinning at hundreds of thousands of rpm’s each!

sure, she has the right to stay and can take it to the convention if she so chooses, however, it seems that at this point her continuing to stay in the race only makes her look like she’s in denial about the state of her campaign and emphasises the loss of power of the clinton family in the democratic party.
is it any less historically significant to be the first woman vice president? does not winning the nomination preclude her from running in 2012?

Absolutely! In the beginning I was for John Edwards, then I wondered about Barack Obama but decided he just didn’t have the experience yet to handle the job. In the end, after following the race very closely I decided Hillary really shared more closely my own views about the war, economy and particularly healthcare. She has championed healthcare all along. My son has no insurance and he is a healthy 29 but what happens if he gets sick? My daughter is disabled and could not buy insurance before she became disabled. These are people who worked but still can’t buy insurance. I have healthcare insurance but can’t afford co-payments and deductibles so am going without doctor’s care and preventative measures. I really fear that we will lose the presidency because the media has so negatively impacted Hillary’s campaign, they made it an uphill battle all the way. In spite of that she continues to fight, successfully. I believe if she loses it will be due to people like Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman and the venom put out by MSNBC. I stopped watching and switched to CNN and Fox to get a better picture. Some of the commentators are so vicious that I wonder where the shock value is that allows comments that so villify Clinton. Now to think the DNC took AWAY votes from Clinton and gave them to Obama is appalling. It makes me think of looking at a third party option. I am astounded. Don’t tell me it was because Michigan didn’t play by the rules nor did FLA. The DNC did change the rules didn’t they? The voters didn’t agree to throw away their votes did they? For Shame that the DNC would actually STEAL votes from Hillary and give them to Obama! Yes I am angry, very angry. Well, it appears we will get another 4-8 years of someone who isn’t qualified to do the job. That is about what we had with Bush, isn’t it? Obama isn’t about change. He doesn’t want universal healthcare, even though he says he does. If you don’t insure all the youth who don’t need healthcare as often, you will lose the older coverage because insurance companies need the leverage to offset costs. Obama isn’t experienced enough to recognize that. He won’t stand up for change in the oil industry nor did he stand up against the war or his minister. I really fear he hasn’t the fortitude to do this and will end as a lackey for the special interests. He already is changing things to please isn’t he? From churches to flag pins, give it up for the cause.
No Hillary we need you and Bill!

I think that a lot of people would vote for McCain if Clinton is forced out. I would rather vote for her as an independent or third party nominee.

She should STAY! She deserves to win it. The media needs to stop saying that it is over or that it is hurting the party for Hillary to stay. It only makes Hillary look pathetic when she is anything but!!! She is a strong women who can run this country and some people are intimidated by a smart women.

Sen. Clinton, will never give up, I think the hiarachy in Washington are running scared, Sen. Clinton can stand up to all of them, and will get more done in Washington, and in eight years time, think how many FEMALES will be running for president, its about time the “GOOD OLE BOYS CLUB” will be broken, Long Live Madam President

Hillary should not quit. She is the better candidate. I think it is time to let a women try her hand at being president. She can’t do any worse. I believe she is the only one that will be able to beat McCain. I for one will vote for Mccain if Obama is the candidiate. McCain would be the first republican presidential candidate I have ever voted for.

I understand the passion of Hilary’s supporter. However, it seems that her supporters are extremely negative and completely against uniting the democratic party, or the country for that matter. How can anyone who has been against the Bush administration, say that they would vote for John McCain without hesitation. It’s unintelligent, and it wreaks of hate so strong for Obama that they would rather the country suffer for another 4 years out of spite. I’d rather not vote for anyone, than help elect a George Bush replica. I don’t really understand the hatred for Obama. He seems like a decent guy who wants to do the right thing for our country, just like Hilary. I guess I do understand why you hate him. He took a short cut and cut Hilary off at the pass.

To all the unity preachers….it’s never going to happen. It’s Hillary or McCain plain and simple. She should stay in but if she gets out I’m behind McCain 100%. (And it’s not just me, there are a large number of us that will never vote for a terrorist sympathizer).

I encourage every person who is outragged by the DNC and changing the rules… as well as the treatment of Hillary Clinton to contact the DNC: http://www.democrats.org/page/s/contact

Hillary should stay in the race NO MATTER WHAT! It’s simple, Hillary has the popular vote and this super-delegate nonsense is stifling the true voice of the people. This is still a Democracy, right? What happened in FL and MI is a travesty! The Democrats and media seem to sway in the direction of Obama, but he will NEVER win against McCain. ONLY Hillary has the experience and popularity to achieve this. The DNC are throwing the election away if they keep urging Hillary to concede. Hillary is the long-distance runner. Obama just doesn’t have what it takes to finish the race. Not to mention, his affiliations with people who spread hatred are frightening. This is unacceptable for a Presidential candidate. Hillary is respectful and professional at all times. She’s got class and exactly what it takes to make a fine President. If Hillary doesn’t get the Democratic nomination, many Democrats have decided they would vote for McCain. I hope the DNC wises up before it’s too late. They need to stop favoring Obama and start being fair to Hillary. DNC, stop trying to manipulate this election! What an outrage! People need to speak out and write letters to the DNC! What they are doing is just unacceptable!

Hillary should stick it out, the popular vote, the vote of the people should be all that matters, it seems unfair that delagates ” a chosen few” should have more say so than the people. Hillary has proven her strength, her determination, her debate that in order for a national healthcare plan to work, it needs widespread participation such as social security which if it had not been borrowed from would be stronger today, non the less if it optional it will not have the funding necessary to make the widespread change that Hillary is out to make and we all need, she has political experience not just as the 1st lady as which I believe she had more input than shes been given credit for, but two terms as a U.S. senator if anyone can defeat McCain and make a then changes this country needs to make Hillary CAN DO IT!!!

How dare people say that a vote for mccain cause they are saying no to obama is acting like an adolescent child. OBAMA has no experience, McCain does… McCain represents stability and status quo, and I’d vote for that over uncertainty. Obama represents uncertainty as no one can tell me what change he represents.. .Change you can believe in? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I BELIEVE IN CHANGE? BUT CHANGE FOR WHAT? I tell this… people would ban water if they were told that it was a chemical called dihydrogen monoxide, which it is… but people are only focused on the packaging.. .Do we really know the real Obama or is he just really a shady guy dreamed up in some hall by a few democrats wanting to pass a liberal agenda… Wake up to reality— Obama represents a change from everything we know and that may NOT be a good thing… Do you really want to risk it or do you rather have a moderate republican who has a proven track record of being a cross the aisle kinda congressman… John McCain has a different air about him then Bush, he represents change from Bush, and he represents moderation-he has forward vision and is an American Hero… I will not view a vote for McCain as an adolescent stand but a god given right since Obama is inexperienced and says anything and everything to get elected… the man has no principles and now wearing american pins after saying one such action is not needed… the man leaves his church saying he wants to spare them the limelight… WHAT THE HECK! he has no principles and avoids the truth… WE DONT KNOW HIM and I’m not an adolescent for voting for McCain a proven track record if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination!

she should stay. Hillary is the only chance to best mc Cain . I like millions of others will vote for mc Cain over obama. Rules cmte was worse than 2004 how can someone get delegates that wasn’t on the ballot ? I want some delegates too!!! What a farce! My momma would call that cheating AND stealing!!!

Hillary Clinton needs to stay in the race.
Who wants a “first lady” who was never proud of her country until her man was running for president ??
Don’t be fooled by the Obama claim that he is not still associated with his church of more than twenty (20) years. The “O” family has been so indoctrinated by his racist pastor over the years, a fool, only, will accept
his claim.
Where have all the clear-thinking
people disappeared to??
The popular vote has been won by Clinton,
The DNC may accept all the “super delegates” for “O” . He will not be
elected by the people.
“CHANGE” — you will be changed and short-changed should you vote for the
‘darling’ of the DNC.

“It doesn’t surprise me at all that Clinton supporters are blue collar and high school educated. She has a connection with the immature and intellectually inferior.
Posted by: Ben | Jun 3, 2008 12:18:04 AM”
I’ve always wondered why the Democratic Party chose a jackass. a loud, brash and obnoxious animal, for it’s symbol. After reading your offering, Ben, I wonder no more.

I think Se. Clinton has fought a tough campaign, but it’s time for her to bow out now and support Sen. Obama (whether on his ticket or otherwise) – for the benefit of the Democratic party and the nation. The longer this drags on, the more it benefits the Republicans and Sen. McCain. And God help this country if HE wins the White House!

Of course she should go.She can not possibly win. It’s over, it’s been over . She should have already dropped out. Yes she should go now. She has divided the party enough. She cares only about herself. It’s all about her. She could care less about the party.She has already made that perfectly clear. She can’t accept the fact that she has lost, that option never even entered her mind. She voted with the other candidates to NOT count Florida and Michigan , but then when she finally figured out she was losing she wanted the rules changed. She felt entitled to change the rules just as she feels entitled to be president. She isn’t entitled. She lost , get over it and move on.

Hillary should ABSOLUTELY stay in the race! From the very first convention I ever saw in the infancy of TV, either 1952 or ’56 when I was just a little kid, the floor fights went on for DAYS with deals being brokered between the delegates. Why all of a sudden does it have to be a foregone conclusion?? She’s the one candidate who can lead this country out of the economic mess we’re in. And the bonus would be Bill! Why? Because the rest of the world LOVES him. And too much of the rest of the world hates US for being bullies that try to force our ways on them. We’d get the FREE bonus of the best goodwill ambassador ever! How does that stack up against comments made by the other candidate’s spouse?? Also, one last shot against the prejudiced media fawning over BO for owning all of the “educated” voters: I beg your pardon! My husband and I and most of our many friends who are backing Mrs. Clinton have achieved a higher level of education, some with very advanced degrees and professorships. So stop demeaning us. And stop demeaning her, as if her only supporters are “working class, lower educated voters”!

Yes, she should stay in! She is the best candidate for the position of President. She has more relevant and useful ideas to help this country’s economy than any other do.

Yes, it’s true the Democratic party is splintered. But if it’s a choice of doing what’s best for the “party” over what’s best for American and our safety, I choose America and not Obama. It amazes me how it’s ok and acceptable to bash Hillary but no one dare say antyhing derogatory about Obama. Actually if one does dare highlight his inexperience and less than exemplary American patriotism, for someone running for the highest American office, the media ignores them.

Yes, Senator Clinton should stay in the race until the convention. Senator Obama has too much baggage and no experience to run our country. The DNC has been unfair to the best candidate for all of America.

No, we don’t want Senator Clinton to give up. I think it is high time the bullying stops. She has the right and she has the popular vote; the vote that really matters! We believe that Senator Clinton is the RIGHT PERSON for the job. Our confidence is in Senator Clinton.

Hillary should have ended her campaign months ago. Hillary is not interested in what is best for the democratic party, and therefore the country. Hillary is all about Hillary. She does not lead in the popular vote. The only way that this can be said is to say she leads in primary vote. That is leaving out, not including, the eleven caucus states! Thus disenfranchising eleven states. Not two states, Michigan and Florida, but eleven states plus two American territories.
Hillary needs to do is what is good for the nation as opposed as what is best for her ego

Hillary needs to leave the race!!! Hillary thought that she was going to secure the nomination by a land slide & she underestimated Obama. I personally believe that she wants the democratic party to loose if she’s not the nominee. Perhaps she wants to run again in 2012 ummm………
Hillary have some dignity! Hillary has been polarzing throughout the race. Hillary is about “Divide & Conquer.” Even if her conquest comes at the expense of America’s global standing, ie. The Democrats retaking the White House, she seems hell bent on making certain that Senator Obama-her fellow Democrat, her fellow Senator, our fellow American-does not win our country presidency. Hillary
have some dignity! Leave the race gracefully…Get out….I am personally sick of her and Bill’s display of the same old Washington politics. And, how can she run our country when she can’t even budget a $20 million dollar campaign…and let’s not forget all of the lies she told to make herself
look better. Sniper fire Hillary…Really Hillary!! Maybe someone should explain to Hillary the difference between misspeaking
and lying…Oh but then again I believe she already knowns. Obama is guilty of what association?…Hillary & Bill are liar’s. “I did not have any sexual relations with that woman” how soon we forget how Bill turned the White House into a little Whore House….And as for Hillary’s alleged 38+ yrs of political experience, apparently she doesn’t
only have a problem with telling
the truth her arithmethic is off as too.

Absolutely. Hillary should be and must be a Nominee. Above all of her attributes she represents the right choice for America. Would she be in European Parlamentary system, she would be seated as a representative and so contributed to political system. What a shame that a person who receives the most votes from the citizens is going to be stripped of political power! This is a manipulation of the will of the people, the same style which was going on in Communist Europe.

Since when does the DNC take precedence over the costitution of the United States of America? Our constitution is being eradicated, systematically; and I’m getting to where I don’t recognize my country.
No, Hillary should not drop out. With stolen votes, and the disregard for millions of taxpaying citizens who voted in Michigan and Florida, the DNC is doing all it can to shove Obama down everyone’s throats, and undermine this election.
I can tell you, if Obama is awarded the nomination, I will be voting for McCain, and so will the members of my family, and so will all of our friends, and so will all of our co-workers who support Hillary, who are all democrats. Then again, I’m getting to where I don’t identify with the democratic party, any longer. They’re becoming just as bad as republicans, for crookedness.
Its difficult to imagine another four years of Bush-type policies and the extension of the Iraq war; but rather that, than to have a muslim in the white house, making policies that will jeopardize the safety and welfare of this nation in some very terrible ways. What a slap in the face to all who have died in these past 8 years of war and their families! Thanks a lot, Obama supporters. You’ve screwed us all, for a poster-boy.

Hillary should stay in or suspend her campaign until later. She did NOT resort to racebaiting, this was totally spun by the media and used by Mr Obama to his advantage. This sort of thing has been tossed about in sound bites until it has become fact in your mind. He has not been able to CLINCH the nomination, what does that tell you? Why should anyone (as was urged for months) drop out of a race that she was a viable candidate and essentially tied? Disgusting.

Hillary should definitly stay. If Obama is the Nominee and Hilary is no where in there, i will not waste my time to vote. I have never not voted since 18 yrs old but I won’t be a part of what happens in 08 if Hillary is not at least on the ticket.

You can all take the blame for deciding the outcome of this race since early in the year. You all have been a part in sabotaging Hillary’s campaign. I haven’t heard a good word from any of you for her on these political talk shows. You all think you are so important. Not one of you would SCREAM in defense of her about these foul sermons from Obama’s church against her. I pray she doesn’t take the VP job or do anything to help that gutter trash Obama. I would not let them USE me to unify the PARTY. I only hope she is insulted as much as we are. I will never again vote for a man and never again vote Democrat!!!!!

America is in a bad place…When American’s are allowing RACISM, SEXISM & BIASES to guide them…..Some American’s seem to careless about right & wrong….Democrats, I ask how bad is Bush/Republican’s when some of us display such horrible behavior ourselves….Hillary’s goal seems to be “Divide & Conquer.” We need to unify the party. You think we have problems now let McCain get into office…I promise you we will see our country continue to go down the drain….Don’t vote Democrat in November you will live to REQRET it!!!! American’s wake up!

Hillary needs to leave the race!!! Hillary thought that she was going to secure the nomination by a land slide & she underestimated Obama. I personally believe that she wants the democratic party to loose if she’s not the nominee. Perhaps she wants to run again in 2012 ummm………Hillary have some dignity!

America is in a bad place…When American’s are allowing RACISM, SEXISM & BIASES to guide them…..Some American’s seem to careless about right & wrong….Democrats, I ask how bad is Bush/Republican’s when some of us display such horrible behavior ourselves….Hillary’s goal seems to be “Divide & Conquer.” We need to unify the party. You think we have problems now let McCain get into office…I promise you we will see our country continue to go down the drain….Don’t vote Democrat in November you will live to REQRET it!!!! American’s wake up!

Moe post: “She should stay. Obama has little to show for his short political tenure. His string of caucus wins in red states will amount to little in a general election. The Dem leaders always manage to be outsmarted. Giving Obama delegates from Michigan, a state from which he had himself removed from the ballot is ridiculous. The process is so flawed – from caucuses to super delegates – it’s a stretch to call it “democratic”. ”
It’s sad that they, the DNC leaders always want to make sure Obama is nominee but don’t care about Democrat is winning in general election or not.

Obama is somebody’s puppet on a string. If you want to know what’s happening see who the puppetmaster is.

Hillary Clinton should stay! I am a life long Democrat and while I care not to bash either of the candidates, I am
concerned about Obama’s friends and associates. It is not just being unfamilar with him or his lack of experience, it is his association with the extreme radical left that gives many of my friends and I difficulty supporting him. I believe had he been a senator for a couple of terms, the general population would feel more comfortable with him. They would have had a broader record to research and make a better informed choice. He is a roll of the dice. I am not comfortable with that given the issues that we face in America today.

She should stay! She’s the one most suited for the job, the one who’ll make the clearest and best choices for this country! It’s just too bad that this country is still such a ‘men’s club’, still not taking women seriously and making it difficult for them to succeed. She’s the ONLY one I’d feel secure with in running the country; she HAS to stay and WIN!

Yes, Hillary Clinton should stay in the race. If anything Obama should concede to her. He should man up by announcing to the whole world that she is the most qualified, experienced, and electable presidental candidate and that he would be honored to support her in the race for the presidency. He needs to look her in the eyes in front of the whole world and say “Ladies First.” and go on to say, and now my fellow Americans I’ll see you in the next 8yrs. Now, that will guarantee him the presidency in 2017 til 2025. This statement is in fact the most logical solution for our democratic party to regain control of the white house, for years to come. America needs them both. Everyone must keep in mind that “Hillary” isn’t getting any younger so, this is it. Think about it, by than Obama will have all the experience he’ll need to keep the country going in the right direction. He can wait his turn, she did.

I think she should stay. I would hope that if she is not the nominee that she would refuse to run on a ticket with Obama, I think that would be the worst mistake. In any case if she’s not the nominee, I’m a republican this election, regardless!!

She should STAY! She has the most votes, his popularity continues to decline, will he even have a following by November?

of course she should stay. only the DNC and the media, like CNN, MSNBC, NBC, Nightline, et al., want her to go. half of the democratic party has spoken and they want hillary as president…this is obvious.

There is a feeling of disappointment that
Mrs. H. Clinton is facing a great defeat.
I voted for her in the California Primary and so did my numerous friends. What is frustrating is the ultimate nomination does not come from the majority of Americans but from a few so called “superdelegates”.
There should be an amendment to our
Constitution. We should abolish these
electoral college and these nonsense superdelegates. Nominations and the
November Gen. elections should rest solely on the popularity vote casts
secretly by the American registered voters. That is the TRUE democratic election process.

First off, I think your piece tonight on
Clinton was an Obit. in the guise of a question. Cynthia McFadden in all her interviews with Clinton, is condescending
at best.
Senator Clinton should stay with it and ignore the voices of the “talking heads”/”pundits” aka the media.
Why is there no focus on the states
whose primaries tomorrow? We hear nothing of that electorate. They’ve
been written off for Obama.
I’m angry about Florida & Michigan. It’s not about the Dem. Party “rules”. It’s about the voters. They are saying in effect, “Florida & Michigan, your votes
are only worth half-a-vote”. The voters had no say re: the earlier date of the primary. I believe if it were Obama who were behind, he would be given full votes.
There has been so much talk about racism, but little talk of the sexism that has fueled so much of the dislike and hatred of Clinton, many men have said they would *never* vote for a woman. Imagine if they had said they would *never* vote for a Black? There would be outrage.
Clinton, stay with it.

No matter Hillary stays or not, Democratic Party is not going to be united. Obama doesn’t have the abilities to unite the party because he was made as a super movie star by the media and DNC. Still there are so many people want to know who Obama is and what kinds of the change he will bring to the country. So why does Hillary take a chance to fight to the complete end?

i think she should stay. she has more going on than obama could think of. i know manny people in my area which is mostly democrat that will for the first time in many generations vote republican.we have seen many polls but not one that asks who can beat mccain. obama cannot, democrats will be jumping the fence to the other side because they dont trust or like obama,and this has nothing to do with race,he just dose not seem trust worthy. he is to wishey washey. also i am one of the people from michigan that they say our votes dont count.

obama is anti-Democrat, he blocked the popular vote of Florida and Michigan.

Democrats won’t vote for obama.

Stay.

Dexter, in your post against Sen. Clinton you said, “Oh, yes, and she never admitted that voting to approve the Iraq war was a mistake.”
If you watched the debates then you would know that she did – on numerous occasions. Beginning with the debate where the candidates were asked if there was anything throughout their career that they’d like to take back or change – Hillary’s answer was her vote for the war.

Hello,
Despite all the utterly bias media coverage (specifically constant deceitful and bias coverage by CNN and shameful report by New York times).
Senator Clinton has prevailed, and if it was not for the extreme favoritism and hypocricy she would have already been the Democratic party nominee.
I really hope that she’ll continue the fight and go to Denver convention.
Thanks,
Shaun

WE WILL TAKE OUR CHANCES WITH MCCAIN BEFORE WE TURN THIS COUNTRY OVER TO COMMUNIST, MARXIST, RACIST CROOKS!

I saw 2012 mentioned… that’s a scary year… google it!
Vote Dem no matter what!!!!

Sonya, your posts are quite heated. I’d like to know what you believe “the lies and the horrible things that come directly out of Hillary’s mouth” are. “Some of you man bashing women need to get over it…just say that you refuse to vote for a African American man.” I would vote for AN African American if they were fit for office. Man or woman. Colin Powell for instance – smart man, extensive experience, smart decision maker. Another post said, “Obama is a puppet”. It’s no secret who the puppetmaster is -his wife, and that’s quite scarey. I know first hand the reverse racism in Chicago. Of course we can’t control what people say, but I would not choose to support or associate with those that incriminate others. The pastor’s comments were not an isolated incident, this is a lifestyle and it’s “ridiculous” to believe that Obama was surprised by it – he had to denounce him because it was public and un-American. Talk about who’s lying….
You said, “Hillary has really accomplished her goal!” I don’t know what goal you’re talking about, but the rest of America knows her goal is the presidency…HELLOOO!
By the way, when did you meet her? You sure seem to know alot about her personally – how she feels, her intentions, etc. I believe she truly loves this country. Obama is gracious, but not ready for the presidency. And with all his questionable associations, including his wife, I don’t trust that he can handle THEM, let alone the country.
DEMOCRATS UNITE – WRITE-IN HILLARY OVER VOTING FOR MCCAIN OR OBAMA

Lets vote for John McCain and continue the prosperity that the United States are experiencing right now. I cannot understand why people would want to change the current situation. The country is doing well and the economy is booming, we are winning the war in Iraq with very,very few casualties. All that story about 25,000 plus of our soldiers that are incapacitated..I don’t believe it..4000 plus soldiers dead in Iraq! Yeah Right! Gas is very affordable;Its easy to purchase a home; Education is affordable to everyone. America is the richest country in the world and we owe no one..People say that we owe china and Japan trillions but I don’t believe that..America! Owe! No! All the commissions that concluded that Iraq played no role in 911 and that there were no Alqeda in Iraq during Saddam’s rule..don’t know what they are talking about..The Republican party is the only party to run this country..can’t you see how well the country is doing now? Why would I want to change that and vote Democrat..I am happy for the So called Democrats who are going to vote for McCain..so we can continue the prosperity that we are now enjoying. Eventhough McCain stated the other day that he does not know much about the economy..we need to vote for him because he has experience and who cares about the economy! Please America and Hillary Supporters who plan to spite the Democrat party and vote for McCain..please do not change your mind..because we really need the Republicans to continue the prosperity that we currently enjoy. Thank you Smart Hillary supporters who plan to vote for McCain..We shall forever be indebted to you. Vote McCain 08. The best decision you’ll ever make for the country you claim to love..Vote Republican! Vote McCain 08

Vote McCain in November! Why? We need to continue the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also need to invade Iran and put them in their place..Let me see who else..Uh Uh! North Korea..we need to invade that country..We are not going to talk to any of those people..they are our enemies..as a matter of fact lets make some more enemies..we need more enemies..so we we can fight war..during more war we are involved in the more the America people would keep voting for the Republican pary because the Republican party is viewed as the Party better able to take care of America during war..Good strategy by the Republicans to stay in power. In the meantime the domestic economy is going down the tubes..but who cares about the economy anyway! War is more important. I predict that John McCain is going to win in November because he is an old white man..I do not understand why Obama thinks he can win in November..America is not ready for a black man as president..America would not vote a Jewish man,Asian man or any other race for President..what Koolaid is Obama drinking that makes him believe that as a black man he can be president(qualified or not). I don’t know what he’s thinking because the fact is on judgement day in November most of the whites who voted for Obama are going to vote McCain..that is the fact..and People are only fooling themselves to think otherwise..that’s my opinion for all its worth but come November you would see that I was right. How can McCain win with the economy in tatters and the Iraq situation? I don’t know but he will.. And we’ll be back to square one..but that’s America! Race is still a big factor is America’s politics..don’t be fooled by the Obama ride..come November its over for Obama because he’s black. Word!

Earl needs to get a life! you are one of the biggest Obama supporters.. go sip your Kool Aid, retard….
Hillary should stay in the race!!!!
People were shouting DENVER, DENVER, DENVER during the Rules Committee meeting!
DENVER! DENVER! DENVER!

In every race there is a winner and a loser.. Obama supporters it will take the Hillary supporters a second to get over the lost, let’s take the high road and offer them tissue. Guys it is going to be ok..it is not the end of the world.

*Wondering how long until everyone wakes up from the mass delusion that the POTUS has any control over ANY matters regarding the American economy, considering THE ECONOMY IS MANAGED AND MANIPULATED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE*

Clyburn (superdelegate) announced that he will be give his vote to OBAMA. Knowing that this is a black man it should not come as a surprise. All over the web this morning is a “chant” going on referring “OUR TIME HAS COME”. Yes the black radical power in this country will be in charge and we are all now in for quite a change like what OBAMA has preached “change”.

she should stay in so her husband can say some mores stupid things
maybe accuse obama of his impeachment or his diddling monica lewinsky

Popular vote as of June 3, 2008
These figures INCLUDE Florida, Michigan, and Puerto Rico, for both candidates:
Clinton 17,692,976
Obama 17,627,421 (includes “UNCOMMITTED”, which is a mixed vote)
Total Diff. +65,555 (Clinton)
Pct. Diff. +0.2% (Clinton)
Above figures from RealClearPolitics.com
So, why SHOULD Hillary quit NOW? She speaks the truth, she does lead in the Popular Vote.
However, to be very fair, let’s take away BOTH Hillary’s Puerto Rico vote AND Obama’s Puerto Rico and “UNCOMMITTED” vote. Doing that, the new totals are:
Clinton 17,429,856
Obama 17,267,795
Diff. +162,061 (Clinton)
So there you have it, folks. The question is, “Who is leading in the Popular Vote”? Please make your choice.

To say that Obama is Presidential material because he won more PLEDGED DELEGATES from CAUCUSES is like saying he is the STRONGER candidate because he wins at WIENER AND MARSHMALLOW ROASTS. Please note that there are NO CAUCUSES in the General Election. He is in no way the STRONGER candidate, and any SUPER DELEGATE with any intelligence and politcal savvy at all knows that full well. The Convention should be all action-packed drama, kiddies, with Obama being just a big WIENER. As someone once said of the former baseball slugger Reggie Jackson, “There’s not enough mustard in this world to cover that hot dog.” And the same applies to Obama.

Things are NOT as they are made to appear.
For all the talk about “Super Delegates”, there is nothing “Super” about them. Just as everyone of us, they have one vote each. Their endorsement is just that, an endorsement. It is not a vote. They are not supposed to come into play unless there is a deadlocked convention, and in that case, they are expected to exercise their BEST JUDGMENT to cast their votes for that candidate they, in view of their extensive experience and political wisdom, think would be able to WIN the General Election. They are not supposed to be endorsing this or that candidate, BEFORE THEY VOTE AT THE CONVENTION. To do otherwise is to be false to the trust and responsibility that has been placed in and on them.
It would be better at this point if all the bickering supporters of each candidate looked at the number of ACTUAL PLEDGED DELEGATES allocated to their candidate on the basis of primaries and caucuses won. Those figures, as of June 3, 2008 (NY Times web site), for those who truly follow politics are:
Obama 1,624
Clinton 1,568
Diff. +56 (Obama)
Of the “surveyed” “Super Delegates”, of which there are now approx. 822.5, there are at least 202 who have not “endorsed” any candidate, which is as it was intended to be. Again, an “endorsement” does not necessarily translate into a convention vote, since in theory “Super Delegates” are supposed to represent the wisdom of the party and are expected to be above the fray. Those who have endorsed, really should be stripped of their position and replaced by those who will act as intended. However, that is the responsibility of the DNC, which so far, has proven inadequate to discipline its own members.
The bottom line, “Super Delegate” endorsements should not be counted by candidates claiming that such an “endorsement” makes this person into a PLEDGED DELEGATE, for that is NOT THE CASE, and to think otherwise is to delude oneself and one’s followers. It is also wrong for the media to even report what “Super Delegates” are doing now, as they do not even come into play unless and until there is a DEADLOCKED CONVENTION.
However, there is nothing to prevent partisans from ‘counting chickens before they hatch”, nor is there anything to prevent the media from playing games with gullible people to increase interest in these silly stories.
As Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over, ’til it’s over”. And this fight is a long way from over.

2/11/2008
Obama and Clinton Campaigns Agree that Superdelegates Should Vote for Who They Think Would be the Strongest Candidate for the Party
Top Obama Strategist Axelrod on Superdelegates
From this morning on NBC:
LAUER: Let me ask you about superdelegates. A lot of discussion about the role they’re going to play in all this by the time it’s over and the debate being whether they should vote out of loyalty to a candidate, particularly if they’re elected officials, or whether they should vote the way their state or district votes.
So, when it comes to Senators John Kerry and Senator Ted Kennedy, should they vote for had Barack Obama because they’ve endorsed him or should they vote for Hillary Clinton because the state of Massachusetts voted for Hillary Clinton?
AXELROD: I think that the role of the superdelegate is to act as, sort of, a party elder. These are elected officials from across the country and they’re supposed to exercise their judgment as to what would be best for the party. And as they look at this, they need to decide who would be the strongest candidate for the party…
LAUER: David, you’re not answering. Should those two senators vote for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton?
AXELROD: I think they and all the superdelegates should vote according to what they think is best for the party and the country. And I think that we need the strongest possible candidate against John McCain…

Hillary should NOT GIVE UP! I am so tired of the White House belonging to MEN! Look how the Obama’s Preachers are against women. Wake up America!
We are going backwards and if Obama gets in we will have to fight for our rights all over again. African Americans Wake UP! Have you forgotten that Obama is 1/2 White? Face it he is a White Male with African American Ancestory and the White House has always belonged to the White Male! Hillary is the only one that can change that attitude! Keep Going Hillary!

P.S.
I will be voting for McCain if Hillary does not get the nomination. I will leave the Democratic Party for Good!

Rebecca and Steve, what would you do if Hillary decided to run as an Independent, and formed a new party, the Center Party, which would appeal to all moderates, from both parties?
It has been suggested to her, more than once.

Yes, there’s a job for Hillary in the White House… does she do windows?

Electing Barack Hussein Obama so soon after 9/11 is like electing a Japanese man president right after Pearl Harbor.

Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for president of OUR country! She is one of us. Barack belongs to the world over there. Let him run Africa!!!!!
Let him take Oprah with him and help his people over there. Take these radical so called “church” members with you, Obama AND Michelle. How can anyone vote for him after seeing these video clips of HIS church??? Let me educate you all. A church DOES NOT invite a speaker to give a sermon without knowing their principals and what kind of message they are sure they will give, one that fits in with their beliefs!!!! And BARACK SAYS THAT THIS GOES AGAINST HIS PRINCIPALS AND BELIEFS!
AFTER 20YRS? IS THIS GUY A MORON OR WHAT? HE CAN FOOL YOU ALL, I GUESS, BUT HE WILL NEVER TALK SLY ENOUGH TO FOOL ME!!!

Hillary should stay. Barack should go. I am disgusted with the race issue with Barack – he should have steared clear of the race issue he is 50/50 – he chose which side to sit on. Hillary is strong minded and has the interests of the middle class in her mind. I believe she will do what she can to make life better for the “new minority”. Barack stated everyone in “his” state has insurance – LIES – I know people that cannot get insurance and have tried for almost a year to find some – insurance is not available for everyone. I believe Hillary would do better on this issue.
Change to Super Candidates – they shouldn’t be able to vote a second time by being able to vote for whoever they want at the convention – and not represent the people in the state. The percentage should be the same as the public vote – for each candidate.

Hillary…..Please,Please…GOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination AP, 18 minutes ago

I am so tired of Hillary Clinton, she thought it would be a breeze to beat Obama & thought it was her right to win & with your slanted broadcast on Nightline for Hillary, I will be glad when it is over. I used to enjoy Nightline, but it is so obvious who you are for. She needs to give up.

I’ll vote for McCain before I’ll vote for Obama. Please stay in it to win it Hillary.

Yes it is over……
Clinton says she’s open to being Obama’s VP (AP)
AP – Hillary Rodham Clinton has told congressional colleagues she would be open to becoming Barack Obama’s vice presidential nominee, saying she would consider it if it would help Democrats win the White House

Have some dignity Hillary….concede and dispell the misinformation, fear and doubt you and your campaign have spread across America.
Yes, I too believed and wanted to see a women at the helm. BUT it is equally exciting to see a black man (or Barack who is the bridge between both races) assume this position, especially one with integrity and who has denounced the damaging process America’s ‘old politicians’ ran our Country.
Barak is principled, has integrity, a clear vision, good common sense and willing to stand up against the status quo when he believes the direction they are taking is wrong for America. He’s refused to succumb to the same old, seedy ploys and politicas as usual to win the nomination. He is committed to uphold the values our forefathers and mothers laid out as the basis to guide future Americans.
Barak needs not only Hillary and the superdelegates and other Party Members to stand with him … he needs ALL of us to support him to achieve what some say is impossible: turn America and American policies around; lead us in a new direction, guided by high values and ideals, based on transparency, justice, equality, integrity, and honor and respect for all.

She is not quitting. she has lost.

Let’s move on – there is no point in Hillary staying in the race. We don’t need to keep this “hang on” feeling to last past Wednesday. We’ve all had enough. I think Obama is there the better candidate and a better facilitator of change.

I’ve considered myself a Republican all my life but have supported Hillary during these primaries. I think it is time for Hillary to concede. She’s done a great job and I hope Obama will choose her as his running mate. They will be a good team for the Democrats in the election.

This Iowan voted for Hillary not because she was a woman, but because I feel she could do the job. The thought of Obama being president makes me feel uneasy. I feel the news media owes Hillary an apology, the way she has been treated is unacceptable. We need more factual news coverage & less bias. More respect should have been shown to a class act like Hillary.

Hillary should run as an independent.
If she does, Hillary has my vote!
Run, Hillary, run!!!

stay in hillary!!!

What if the people want Hillary in office and not obama? If shes out then that means the peoples votes don’t count for nothing. What do the public vote for? I think the people of the USA should decide who gets in not the dumbheads in the government. I won’t bother to vote since even if I do,it don’t count anyway. The delecates have no right to decide anything. The people should.

Clinton should step down. She should not even try to bargain for the vice-presidency as she would be the kiss of death to Barack Obama. Hillary is the polarizing, divisive candidate.

I don’t think it is to Obama’s best interest to pick Hillary as his VP. The Clintons will make his life miserable barking their ideas and orders to him, and telling him how much more experienced they are. They feel entitled to everything, and they are not the most moral, decent people the US should have on the second spot. All they have done during the campaign is complain about everything that hasn’t gone their way. What can be expected if elected to the 2nd highest office? No thank you, there are people more qualified, and easier to work with to put up with her for 4 years.

Yes, I want Hillary to be Barack’s running mate. She is the most qualified person for the job.

Hillary would be more effective in the Senate than as a prop to get Obama elected. She can run again in four more years to defeat McCain’s re-election bid.

Hillary has shown she has no class and is only interested in her ego. She should have ask the voters to get behind Obama in order to get the DEMOCRATS back in office. She is in denial and can’t accept the fact that there are people out there that have had enough of the Clintons. If she could have been more gracious, people would have continued to stay behind her. She has been an embarrassment to the people who are truly interested in being a Democrat and uniting the party to get the nominee in office. Her husband was a big part of her problem. They seem to believe the the world owes them something just for being The Clintons. NOT !!!

Hillary, do us all a favor and show some dignity…LET IT GO & GET OUT OF THE RACE!!!!

The best thing Hillary Clinton can do for the democratic party is to accept defeat and exit graciously and quietly. If there was any chance of her being on the ticket as VP, her deplorable and self-centered speech tonight put an end to that. With her speech, she only proved that her true interest is not about the unity of the party but about her ego and sense of entitlement. I will be extremely disappointed and angry if she is extended the offer to join the ticket. The Commander in Chief needs a vice president he can trust, someone who excepts the role as second in command and not co-leader in charge. Hillary’s presence(and Bill’s) of 4 years in the White House would prove to be polarizing at best. Senator Obama’s desire for a changed America will not be fulfilled with Senator Clinton on the ticket. Nor does he NEED her to win.

I think that Hillary’s talent would be of more use to our country as a cabinet member than the vice-pres. Also, we have to remember it is not just the president that runs the country but that our senators and congress-persons have a say in what happens. So we need to pay attention to who we vote into these positions.

I have watched the Clintons during this race and am convenced that Hillary is obsessed with power; as is her husband Bill. And now that Barak has secured the nomination for the party; she is not being gracious, but rather brutish. Hillary claims to have the welfare of the people at heart but I beg to differ. If this were the case and, her true motive was to unify the democratic party then she would allow Barack to set the pace of the party as he will be the president (if God says the same.) She will NOT be president so she should stop pushing, trying to dominate and control. At this point it is my thought that Brarck would do better without her because just from tonight, we see that she wants to have the last word and we CANNOT HAVE TWO PRESIDENTS at the same time.

Ponit blank is he needs someone who he can trust and Hilary is not it! She has done nothing but slander him down to the bone while he has been nothin but a gentleman. How can truly trust someone that has tried to tear him down? I am a female and I still think she is a snake. How can you trust someone who has flip flopped more than a cooking flap jack? First she says the votes dont matter but once she was losing then wanted to hehaw about how all votes should matter. She was the only one on the ballot! how could she not win? Can we say OMG! Not once did she acknowledge that he won. All she talked about was ME ME ME, when it should be about US as a country. She is a sore loser and he should choose Edwards.

Hillary should be gracious and concede. She has run a tough, fiercely competitive campaign, but it is time to throw in the towel and do what is right for her party and this country. For all those who think she would make a good running mate, I have to disagree. Her handling of this defeat proves that she cannot subordinate her own ego for the common good. Let her go back to the Senate.

No matter what happens, this is an historical moment. I know that the right person will be in that office come November because it is a devine plan. Let us make the best of it whatever our politics. We are all Americans who have always, always had the Blessings of GOD. MY WISH IS THAT WE ALL COME TOGETHER AS A NATION IN ORDER TO CONTINUE RECEVING THE MANY BLESSINGS WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. THE WORLD IS LOOKING TO US FOR LEADERSHIP, LET’S DO THIS!

Time to leave, Hillary!
I hope Obama picks John Edwards as a Vice President………even this “Obama-Publican” would vote for that ticket.

Hillary needs to learn humility and get behind the Democratic party’s choice. She is just proving that she does not have the class needed to unite her party and Obama does not need her.
BOTH Clinton’s showed us their true colors while “they” were in office before. She could not control his mouth or his zipper then, she cannot do it now and she will not be able to in the future. They lie (even under oath), cheat and steal (White House furniture-remember)at the drop of a hat to get what they want, and that is what they live.
Where there is smoke there is fire,get rid of her Obama or you will be the one that gets burned, because the Clinton’s somehow *&^% and come up smelling like roses.

When will Us (Americans) wake up. We want to put the blame of this war on our President Bush, when everything leading to former President Clinton getting his thrills filled in office with pants down with any frmale that he saw that everything we are going through now is because of his * years in office. And for Hillary Clinton she would not tell the truth if Jesus was standing right infront of her and people still voted for her . Thank God she lost but then again what does she have up her sleeve today. The Clintons really showed their true colors these last 6-9 months. The American people better wake up and remember 911 because that is all Clintons and His party in the white house and when Bush was in office * months we were hit a big blow. Wake up America Wake up Obama because you have not fought for our country, you do not wear an American flag pin and for you to vote no for this war your just a guilty as rest of the Democrates. Thank God we have young people today who are signinmg up to fight for this great Naion Under God and that for anyone President who does not want to protect us shame on you and youu will not get my families vote.

Why won’t Obama show his birth certificate? The hospital where he claims to have been born…shows no such individual in Hawaii..I believe he is a fraud..and a part of dirty Chicago politics..in addition..it might just show that he is a Muslim..a lot of us believe he is a fraud! He has gained support of party senators etc..because of promises of cabinet posts..and has donated thousands to their campaigns..so he has bought the Presidency! A tape is going to be released of Michele…being a racist..she hates white people..and he does too…he admitted it in his book!
Wake up America!

Me tink Obama, he shud tink abot aksin Hilary to hep him wit de campayne to win de Whiit hose _ mayby 1 day der wil be a gud man and woman togetter helpin us get tru all dis hard stuf.

I think Obama won because America sees we need something new in that office. If she is picked as his VP, I think Obama should step up his personal security.

Senator Clinton’s wounded and vindictive EGO has not only damaged her reputation but would be an absolute disaster in White House. She has proven that considers her vows retractable when she decides it is in her best interest. Just because President Clinton embarrassed her by breaking his while in office, it does not mean that the significance of breaking any vow is inexcusable. Senator Clinton agreed not to include the delegates from Michigan and Florida, yet she believes that reinstating the votes should repair her EGO? Perhaps President Clinton was having his EGO repaired by Ms. Lewinski. Simply put, Senator Clinton’s EGO can not be repaired by placing her in the White House, she needs therapy that addresses more than her marriage, perhaps her denied aspirations from childhood. She has proven to be strong willed and ruthless, shedding a tear in a moment of clarity that she might be defeated. Senator Clinton’s heart is most likely somewhere hidden in an old dust covered box in her childhood home, probably the only way she knew how to protect it from her callous father. Perhaps she’d be better off regressing to find it there rather than looking in the White House.
Senator Obama has not lost interest of the innocent and hopeful heart’s pursuits. He has shared his past, losses, wishes and successes with us as a flawed individual. I admire his brave admittance and ability to ask the nation to par-take in the responsibility to re-build and strengthen the American Dream in to a reality. We have witnessed part of his political maturation during his road to the democratic nomination and I believe his character and steadfastness to be worthy of winning the Presidential Nomination.

Magnanimity by the victor to the vanquished. Sen Hillary Clinton has proven her mettle. What else is there to know about her.
With Sen. Barak Obama, there are so many unknowns which the Republicans will surely exploit ala Mr. Karl Rove.
By choosing Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama will have a very capable VP.
By choosing Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama will have begun the healing process.
By choosing Sen. Clinton, Sen. Obama will have united the Democrative Party and the country.
The choice of Sen. Clinton as VP by Sen. Obama, will signal the beginning of real change in the hearts of the people. This would be a brave choice. This will, more than any words, send the signal for unity.

It was a woman who gave birth to Senator Obama, it was a woman who supported him to get into the Senate, and it’s a woman who is winning the popular vote NOW, so yes, she needs to offer Senator Obama a VP position; this way Senator Obama will have an opportunity to gain more experience. To act on your guilt now, may be too costly….
Both Senator Obama and Senator Clinton will be the Presidents, just in slightly different order. Allow American People the opportunity to get to know and observe the Obamas.
Remember that Superdelegates can and will change their positions by the end of August.

I agree that Hillary needs to “GO”!!!!!!
ALSO, seek a “shrink” quick!!! And take all of the “unrealistic” bunch of followers with you!!! They see the color of your skin, and have no idea what you are really saying OR doing behind their backs.!! They wouldn’t know intelligence if you wrote it down and asked them to explain what it means. I’m just going by all of the negative remarks made in these blogs!! It sounds like a bunch of children!!JUST LIKE HILLARY AND BILL!! “MY MOM SAYS I CAN DO AS I PLEASE!! AND YOU CAN’T MAKE ME CONCEDE, EVER!!AND IF I WANT TO BE VP, YOU HAD BETTER LET ME!!…OR ELSE YOU’LL BE SORRY!!!”…

IF HILLARY HAS SO MANY DEMOCRATS BEHIND HER, WHY ARE HER COMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LARGE CORPORATIONS RATHER THEN FROM HER 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS? DO THE SUPPORTERS REALLY CARE ABOUT HER OR JUST WINNING THE ELECTION? DOES SHE REALLY CARE ABOUT HER SUPPORTERS OR WILL HER INTEREST REALLY LIE WITH THE LARGE CORPORATIONS WHO DONATED TO HER COMPAIGN? WILL HILLARY STICK WITH THE LARGE CORPORATE CEO’S AND HAVE EVERYONE THINKING THEY ARE LIVING FINE, AS BILL DID WHEN HE WAS IN OFFICE, AND THEN THE BALL DROPPED AND WE HAD ENRON. WILL WE HAVE THE SAME THING IF SHE BECOMES PRESIDENT? Obama should not consider Hillary for the Vice Presidency. I feel that she would only try to undermine his programs to make him look incompetent. If he is incompetent, let him take the fall on his own. If Hillary wants the Presidency, she should run again in 2012. Then she could pair up with her husband for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. Together they could both rip off the government and the American people as they did before, and they could probably end up being billionaires by the time they leave the White House. If they came into the White House with no money, but in 10 to 12 years they are worth well over 100 million which does not include their property, jewelry, etc., seems politics is a very lucrative business. MAYBE ONE OF THESE YEARS THE UNITED STATES WILL FIND A PERSON THAT IS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY “AND NOT JUST THE LARGE CORPORATIONS, MULTI-MILLIONAIRES AND THE LINING OF THEIR OWN POCKETS” TO BECOME RICH AND FAMOUS. WILL WE EVER SEE A PRESIDENT THAT HAS REAL INTEGRITY? I HOPE SO FOR THIS COUNTRY’S SAKE.

I’m deeply disappointed in Hillary Clinton and her lack of graciousness. Instead of acknowledging the historic moment of the first African American nominee for a major political party, Hillary remained in ego and self entitlement. Barack spoke of her historic achievement, why couldn’t she do the same? I would have expected more of a runner up in a Student Council election. Hillary had months to prepare for this possibility; the fact that she handled this so poorly points to her true motives and character.
Every time a woman doesn’t get a job or win an election is isn’t sexism, just like every time a Black person doesn’t get a job or win an election it isn’t racism. Hillary showed she is not able to be a team player, but she will cry sexism when is isn’t selected to be his VP. It will be her character not her gender. She is not ready to support the nominee and thud is an inappropriate choice for VP.
As someone already said, if she were the VP nominee, Barack would need more security detail.

There is something wrong with this whole picture. No one has been “nominated” to anything yet. All of them, Obama, Clinton, McCain, et al, turned in some paperwork, probably paid a fee and said, “I’m running for President”. A bunch of people gave them some money so they could run all over the country and get people to say, “Yup, yup, you should be President”.
When did this so called NOMINATING happen.
The two major parties will have big parties in Denver and St Paul to do who the heck knows what. Nominate? Vote on prospective candidates? Why bother? Well I don’t know about Denver but they’ll be getting drunk in St.Paul. They passed a 4:00 a.m. bar closing law just for that party.
Our system for choosing our government has turned into the silliest side show imaginable. We deserve what we get.

Absolutely NOT!!! Senator Clinton needs to accept defeat and CONGRATULATE the Demoncratic nominee…Senator Obama. I have lost all respect for her during this campaign. She has not showed any grace or true leadership. Yes, she has fought hard, but very dirty. What do I say to my cousin who wants to be the President of the USA? Surely, I would tell her NOT to follow in Clinton’s foot steps of running a shady campaigne.

It’s time for Hillary to let this whole thing go. It is very evident that the Clintons are all about promoting themselves and their agenda. They are incapable of truly supporting someone who has won something they wanted. I say “them” because you can bet Bill Clinton will be just as involved in our gov. as Hillary if she is made vice-president. Bill Clinton scares me with his lack of judgment in speech, behavior and temper.
I say this as a working class white woman who is tired of hearing that we all fully support Hillary Clinton. This working class white woman doesn’t vote for someone just because she’s a woman! I’m ready for a change and the Clinton’s are certainly not a change.

NO She should NOT Go!!
But its obvious that Obama is the nominee now and the way the media has made him the protagonist. Hillary has no choice but to step down. It will be interesting to see how the next few months play out. With out Hillary on the ticket I can’t vote for Obama.

I think that Hillary Clinton should stay in the race. Why not let it go to convention? Who knows what the future will bring to Barrack Obama? He is NOT the presidential nominee for the democratic party. The convention in August will make the decision of who the nominee is, and just because he reached the magic number does not mean he will have the party’s support in August (the one that ultimately matters). Rumors of racist tapes from Michelle Obama, and the good old Reverend are just the beginning of what will be brought up. We all like to talk about how this is a racist campaign, but the only person bringing race up is Obama and his supporters. I look to a canidate for what they bring to the table, not gender or race. Obama’s indecision as Senator (voting “present” is not something you can do as President), and support from terrorist groups, causes worry to me, as it should to other Americans.

No, I don’t think Hillary should be on the ticket as Vice President. Clearly Obama would not be able to accomplish his goals with Hillary & Bill undermining whatever they could.. I would love to see John Edwards as Vice President.

Charleychaplin,
I agree. Thanks for the great post.
DNC and the Superdelegates seemed to be ignore all the voters’ wills.
When we watch tv all the pundits say Dems will unite, no worry about it.
The truth, I talked to most of Hillary’s supporters they don’t want to vote for Obama in the GE.
Well..we’ll see in November..
