Keep fighting, Hillary!

Fewer supers have endorsed Obama than expected after the last primaries. They're waiting to back you, the only candidate they know can beat McCain.

If someone besides a Bush or Clinton was currently in office I suspect she would have had a better chance. Too many folks are ready for a REVOLUTION type change.

Democratic leaders said Obama needed to show Hillary respect, by slowly introducing the super delegates.

This would give Hillary time to realize the flow is against her without pushing her out.

Now the Clinton camp is claiming there hasn't been the flow of super delegates since Indiana.

NOTE: More super delegates have announced their support for any candidate this week than during any previous week in 2008.

The train has left the station. It may be moving slowly, but it is move steadily.

Even Carville agrees.

Keep on fighting Hillary! Show them how a true leader responds to adversity. You understand that most Americans aren't mean or bitter.

You know it's bad when even Carville can't spin it for you.

So long as you can keep your Bill in the cage Hillary, Obama will put you on the ticket. He is the uniter.

I say let all the votes be counted. That includes Florida and Michigan. One that is done, Hillary wil have won the popular vote. The uncommitted super delegates are sitting on the side line for a reason, and it's not so that she can go out with dignity. They want to see who connects with mainstream Americans and can win in the general election. P.S. to Peace - Obama is smart, calculating, etc. but "uniter" is not a word that can be used to describe him. How about "lucky" that the media did not do their job and expose him (still don't really - they frost everything over) before he got as far as he got.

Without Hillary, the dems will implode and lose the election. She won all the large important states. Let's be real.
How can Obama will the presidency with a few southern and mid-atlantic states.
It will be impossible. You cannot win the presidency without Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. That is a known fact.

Let's give Hillary enough respect to have her day. She will probably win KY and SD too. With 3 wins, it will appear Hillary is making a comeback, but there aren't enough delegates in those states to significantly impact Obama's lead. Oregon will go Obama though.

Scared in a racist state? LOL No one ever accused Senator Obama of being stupid. WHY would he bother and put his life at risk? MANY of these people are the same mind set that have brought violence to this party before. Scared? Most would be of nut jobs with guns!

Those of you who are racists and insist that Obama can't win any "white" states forget that Obama got his start with a big win in Iowa, which is a very white state. Some of us don't care about the color or gender the candidate.

West Virginia is not the future of the Democratic party. Clinton can take 100% of the vote for all I care. When she gets stomped in the largest delegate state left, Oregon, then hopefully we'll see her end the selfish streak and drop out like she should have done this week.

Sam: If Obama is scared to campaign in any state, he is not fit to be president. I should remind you that our president should be president to ALL THE PEOPLE. I can't believe that he claims to be a uniter.

Whether Hillary wins or not doesn't matter. Remember that she is making history by being the first woman in real contention for the white house. Whether you like it or not she is making history and is paving the way for future generations. She must stay in it till the end.

MIKE GRAVEL is THEE ONLY TRULY ETHICAL, INTELLIGENT, & COURAGEOUS CANDIDATE REMAINING, WHO USES ACTION (NOT MERE WORDS) TO ENFORCE REAL "CHANGE", & HAS A LONG, DOCUMENTED HISTORY PROVING IT ALL!!! (BTW, HE'S LISTED AS A LIBERTARIAN.) (cont'd)

I noticed when i hear comments on ABCnews.com Some of you democrats are just as a bigot as any conservative republican, you show your true feelings about monorities particularly blacks when they are not voting for your candidate.Any other time Decratic voters would be open minded not a bunch of bigots, thats not really true.Only when it's convenient to you that you act as if your not racist.

And to all the Obama haters, you can hate if you want to, but your wasting your time!

The Supers have gone to Obama 80% to 20% since Super Tuesday...and he leads in ALL polls and his winning amoung whites is up 5% since PA.....so all these Hillary fanatics need to stop and be realistic before Hillary takes your last dime to pay off her campaign debt....which is why she is in it until June 3rd.
He only needs 33 more pledged delegates to make the lead in pledged delegates insurmountable. He will have those by May 20th.
He now leads in Super delegates.
These are the facts that the media goes by in calling a winner.
The only margin that Hillary has won? Her campaign debt is higher than Obama's.......but hey if you want to help her pay herself back that's up to you. Why should she go without interest payments to herself and be able to get any money she put into HER campaign back? LOL ALL those donors? They are just OUT.
Reality is something that gets in the way of the facts for some people.....

I wish he would have put more time into the WVA primary but from the tone of the posts I read on this blog about him and the WVA rate of gun ownership, perhaps it is better not to tempt fate.

Obama is not scared of any state. He is just spending his time and money where it will do the most good. With a predicted landslide in WV for Hillary and the relatively small number of delegates at stake there, there is no point in him spending a great deal of time and money there.

Let the remaining contests proceed without prejudice against Hillary and those who have every right to vote for her. I sure wouldn't want to be on an Obama ticket and taking a second place, inconsequential position to a man. You know what will happen? Obama will constantly be bothering Hillary for advice, direction, and counsel, since he's so inexperienced and disconnected with the real world. Essentially she'll be the President, but without benefit of title, credit or recognition. Sadly, this is no different than how many other jobs function where a woman who is superior in every way to the man is shoved to the back.

First of all, I find it laughable that a person would post about how inhabitants of WV can't read while they apparently can't formulate a grammatically correct sentence. Nice.

Secondly, of COURSE she's in it until the end. Anyone who really thought she'd throw in the towel when she has the Oval Office in her sights is incredibly naive.

Lastly, rather than show incredible immaturity and ignorance by railing against the people who populate a particular state of the Union, perhaps the posters here could stick to making intelligent statements that actually pertain to policy and procedure.

Brian, I don't think generalizing and stereotyping helps anything.

This is driving me nuts. Hillary supporters act like Obama is this terrible person and Hillary has done no wrong. Both have run negative campaigns at times, both have been caught saying something that has hurt them. To act like one candidate is perfect and the other is terrible is ridiculous. Hillary supports, are you really saying that she has never gone negative, never tried to scare up votes (3 am ad), never been caught "misspeaking"? Obama has his flaws but so does Hillary. What really matters are the issues. They have the same view on all the major issues and Hillary herself would tell you to vote for Obama over McCain. I am a Republican that supports Obama, but I guess if McCain wins then he will appoint two new Supreme Court judges and get Roe vs. Wade overturned which would make me happy but make women mad.

Obama has won in red states. Look at the map. Georgia, N.C., S.C., Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. are "RED" states that will go to McCain. Obama has been lucky in a few other states including Iowa which is not capable of pickinga winner (they really need to do away with that silly Iowa caucus thing), but that was BEFORE the media started exposing his elitist attitude, his racist leanings, his wife's anti-american, anti-white views, etc. Everytime he gets in trouble, he throws somebody under the bus. Hey, maybe it's time he threw his wife under the bus along with his "crazy old uncle" spiritual advisor and his "typical white grandmother".

Hillary is a terrible candidate in every dimension. Most of the people in the country do not like her and she has no inspirational ability - after decades of lying about every aspect of her life.

History will write it that way - now that we are out of this silly season of good old boy politics. Thank goodness.

Unless this is no longer the United States of America, Hillary has the right to continue her campaign. I know of no law that forbids Hillary from doing what she is doing to win the Office of POTUS. Each of us can vote for whomever we choose, for whatever reason motivates us. We all need to calm down.

if the super delegates wanted to back hillary they would have already, they do not want to over ride the people who have yet to vote. They are waiting until the end of the primaries.

Can anyone tell me how many super delegates Obama has received since Super Tuesday?

and how many has Clinton received?

even in california there are supers in areas SHE has won, that remain uncommitted. they do not want to over turn the will of the people, and are waiting for obama to become the nominee so they can back him just like the others....

its been over for a long time, we are now just letting this finish up.

If clinton were to go on the attack against obama tomorrow, the supers woudl end it.

Hillary just needs to go away after June 3rd, preferably sooner. But oh well, it's her money not mine. LOL. Fool that she is.

People like Terry McAuliffe and Mark Penn are Senator Clinton's biggest liability. Do these people ever ask themselves why Senator Clinton is losing? But then again, why bother? She already lost. And if she doesn't work hard to win back her African American support, she might not be NY's senator by 2012.

Viva Hillary.

Stay in the race, you are going to be the President Of The United States. My Vote and parayer is with you.

Go on and Stay Strong.

Hillary doesn't need to worry about regaining the black voters support as much as BHO just needs to worry about getting a vote from the white middle class voters.

I hope that Hillary fights for her campaign through the August convention and WINS.
Enough of obama - he is ready to declare himself a winner? Of what? Of creating the largest mass of cult followers ever? I have read that only the most intelligent and most educated are followers of obama - so then why, have they allowed themselves to become weak and the most hateful political followers ever? Where are obama's policies on change? What is he going to change? Where is it written that we can read about his changes? They don't exist. Obama is a media creation, an empty suit without leadership qualities who will be the puppet to Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry-Heinz and Joe Biden. These three ran for president and LOST. Now they have found a weakling who can be manipulated into anything and decided he will be president. Next there is the DNC which has clearly been divided by Howard Dean and Nancy Peolsi who are panting to have obama in office - again, it is their intent to manipulate. Up go the taxes so the taxpayers can pay more to the welfare recipients, more free day care, more food stamps, more taking away from the seniors of this country. Obmams is so tied to these people that he won't think without them. Never mind that he has radical ties with anti-Americans - these three don't care. What they are looking for is someone who can preach you into giving more of your money. When the economics of this country get so bad that they cannot be reversed, they will dump on the working people in this country and ding you once again.
If Hillary isn't nominated, then John McCain will become president, which is just fine. As long as it will not be obama. There is news coming out from O'Reilly that he is going to have more on the Ayers/obama relationship this week and how far into Chicago type politics obama is and how much responsibility and how much money was used by the Chicago political machine, and what role Ayers has played in the obama campaign. I hope O'Reilly blows obama right out of the water with this.

The only people that are asking for Clinton to "go away" are Obama supporters. You people seem a little nervous to me that he has not been able to close the deal. His popularity has dwindled since people started finding out a little about him (other than his small resume and his being an extremly far left liberal)and Clinton's popularity is rising. She will win the popular vote.

Hey Eric,

A little history lesson for you. WV voted for Dukakis and Bill Clinton twice. Yet Al Gore ignored the state and lost WV and the Presidency with it. Florida would of been irrelevant.

The election will be called for McCain before the polls close in Oregon.

Yes Hillary drop out so that you don't hurt Obama more than he has already hurt himself with his proven lack of character and judgment. He is unelectable in the GE.

Hillary has a very strong base and Obama cannot defeat her. Obama has several donors that give him small amounts of money. Hillary's donors are maxing out their donations, they worship her and won't let her down. They won't take Barack Obama.

All this talk about a black man not being able to win is nonsense. Gen. Colin Powell could have won the Presidency 8 years ago if he had wanted it. America has been ready for a black President for a decade. It's just that American isn't ready for THIS black President.

What is the point of continuing when you already know the outcome?

She talks about fighting, but its looks like its reality shes fighting.

Hillary, we support you all the way- tune out what all the Obamaites and media types are saying - they want to push you out of the race but we know you are simply the best for the job.

Obama will be trounced in November - I won't vote for him if he is the last person standing. The 2-party system is arcane and doesn’t reflect the 21st century. The Democratic Party represents Obama’s base – blacks, the affluent and aging liberals. The country is center-right. What I have seen of Obama, his campaign and his surrogates have convinced me that he will be a terrible choice. The message of hope and unity is just advertisement - Obama doesn't believe in it - he is using the liberals and anti-women sentiments to get himself elected. He has no moral standards (despite his demeanor) other than to advance his and his wife's agenda.

I am so glad that Hillary will stay and fight. She is much much more presidential than that other guy.

Hillary, you have my support. Stay until you win!

"Stay the course".--Yeah, that has worked.

I hope Hillary takes this all the way to the convention! Go Hillary you can win!

I thought the biggest issues this election was the economy and the Iraq War. No one has mentioned those so I guess race and distortion are the big issues everyone is concerned about this fall.

Just looked at a poll that says 64% of dems want both to stay in the race. It does start to look like a Republican year to me. I do think the democrats are really divided. I don't think race played such a big part of this until all of the background information came out on Obama. I'm not so sure that it isn't more about the worry of keeping the far left under wraps for a lot of us. It's unlikely that Obama could do that. I don't think that their stance or focus is what is best for our country right now.

If it weren't for obama unfairly and falsely accusing Senator Clinton of somehow disrespecting MLK when all she did was acknowledge LBJ's contribution to the Civil Rights Movement, she would be the nominee right now. Shame on obama and shame on those who believed him. I am completely dedicated to voting for Senator Clinton in November and I will make sure that MILLIONS of others realize that they can too (write-in), regardless of who the Democratic nominee is.

To all the Hillary supporters, have you asked yourself, why is she losing????? She has a lot of qualities such as being dishonest, no integrity, champion of smear tactics, a flip-flopper, and she's run a poorly planned campaign. The race is over and she needs to get out like yesterday. She's done so stick a fork in her!

Hillary is UNDER FIRE.....NOT IN BOSNIA....BUT IN HER OWN COUNTRY. She;s ON FIRE, too. Liar got her pants suits on fire.

Hillary might not win the Democratic nomination, but it is IMPOSSIBLE for obama to win the general election....

I am very happy to see her stay in. She is our best hope to beat McCain.

Maybe I'm just a simpleton from KY, but if I'm overdrawn/in debt, it's a crime for me to write a cold check for services rendered. So if Hillary's campaign is $20M in debt, WHO exactly is still willing to sell her anything at all, from pizzas for her staff to ad space on a TV station? She's just going to pursue her 'dream' and d*mn the people and businesses to whom she is in debt - NO ONE has a problem with that? I'm sorry but I don't want a deadbeat candidate. I know enough of those in my real life. If she can't balance her campaign budget, how in the world is she gonna balance the country's?

UNDER FIRE & ON FIRE, Hillary refuses to disaapear; she just keeps charging like a mad cow...WOW...another Glen Close!

Those "superdelegates" who switch sides are the worst politicians who should never be re-elected, if they are up for re-election.

They are the wind swingers who worth no more than a pile of dog you-know-what.

I am freaking tired of the Hillary people and the Fla and Michigan votes.....Hillary voted not to campaign there, she voted for the same thing that Obama, Edwards all voted for....She didn't care about Michigan and Florida until she got her ass handed to her in 12 straight states.

I am sorry but I use to have a lot of respect for the Clintons, I have very little now....I voted for Bill Clinton

I don't want Hillary on Obama's ticket and NO Hillary has ZERO chance at winning the nomination. None. Get over it.

You are not going to catch Obama in any of the numbers.... You can't count the numbers in Florida because they weren't allowed to campaign there and sorry to tell you but many didn't vote because they were told they wouldn't count. Obama would have lost Florida I admit that, but it would have been closer than the numbers that happened.

And there is NO way you can count Michigan, Obama wasn't even on the ballot and based on all the states around Michigan, that state would have been close....if they both campaigned there.

Michigan and Florida will have their delegates seated...but the votes will not count nor should they.

Obama will win Oregon, South Dakota and Montana.

He has a lot of endorsements from the supers.... he was told to release them a few at a time...Hillary has been told the same thing

That's a great idea! I'm going to write-in Hillary's name in November!

I think each one of us should contact as many people as we can to let them know that we can still vote for Hillary as a Write-In candidate in the general election.....

Popular vote as of May 10, 2008

These figures INCLUDE Florida and Michigan, as they were fairly and legitimately earned by Senator Hillary Clinton, and have been validated by the respective Secretary’s of State.

Obama 16,506,455
Clinton 16,418,979

Total Diff. +87,476 (Obama)

Pct. Diff. +0.26% (Obama)

So, why SHOULD Hillary quit NOW?

Who do you think will be leading after Tuesday?

Hint - See below:

Combined population of Oregon, Montana and South Dakota = 5,173,438

Combined population of West Virginia, Kentucky and Puerto Rico = 9,894,803

don't forget, that's also where obama brought his two impressionable children to be baptized and listen

Each candidate has about 50% of the democratic vote. Let the primaries continue and quit attacking the two main candidates and their supporters. Real democrats are going to vote for the winner no matter who it is because the real issues are so important this time. You are against the war, but you are going to vote for republicans? You think the economy is terrible, so you are going to vote republican? You don’t like the kind of Supreme Court judges that have been appointed by Bush, so you are going to vote republican? It is not democrats who are saying they will vote republicans if their candidate does not win. They are republicans trying to get democrats upset with each other. Calm down and take the high road for a change!

BK: You don't know what you are talking about. Are we supposed to just take your word for it that Obama has the supers and has been asked to release them a little at a time. Rediculous! I do know that Hillary win win the popular vote and if Howard Dean and Kennedy and the DNC, etc give it to Obama, they will lose 1/2 of the party. And, IF Obama manages to win the general election WITHOUT half of the democratic party, you will all be ready to throw him out after 4 years if not before.----I don't believe that he can accomplish a thing other than to divide.

Which Democratic candidate is more electable?

Consider this:

This is how the Electoral College stands as of April 23, 2008, showing strengths of Clinton vs. Obama, based on their results. For those who have not understood, this is not a head-to-head matchup, but rather a side-by-side comparison.

This assumes a winner-take-all primary/caucus vote takes all Electoral votes for each state. The totals immediately below are WITHOUT any consideration of the states of Florida and Michigan.

Clinton 261

Obama 181

But with Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 305

Obama 181

Assuming the following victories, based on current polls, with Clinton winning Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Obama winning North Carolina, South Dakota, Oregon (which is doubtful), and Montana, the totals would then be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 285

Obama 209

Even with a victory for Obama in Indiana, the totals would be, still without Florida and Michigan:

Clinton 274

Obama 220

Please note that it takes 270 Electoral College votes to win the General Election.

Whether or not the vote turns out as indicated, I firmly believe the above analysis more than amply demonstrates which of the Democratic candidates is in a better position to be the stronger candidate in the General Election.

I love my son and am very overprotective of him. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience support anyone other than Senator Clinton.

Lou--I meant exactly what I said.

How many people under 60 support Hillary? And don't confuse the issue and blur in 'THe Greatest GEneration' with the 'Me Generation'--it's two very different sets of people.

The generation from from WWII gave and sacrificed. Hillary's generation takes and gives nothing back--a generalization, yes, but mainly true.

My family is immigrants--distinctly different. And they agree at the cause of trouble. The Me Generation is still fighting the Vietnam War.

It's time to sweep the Me Generation out of power--once they are gone, things will be a LOT better.

it is impossible for obama to win in November; he and his supporters have done too much to damage any chance they might have had at success....

Hillary's reference to LBJ, Bill's comparison between Obama and JJackson, and now the bit about blue-collar working whites without college degrees ISN'T racism. IT'S CALLED THE TRUTH. The Obama-types can't handle the truth because they're incapable of grasping it. The truth is never negative, racist or bigoted. The more Obama is questioned, the more questionable he becomes. He is a phony and a liar. He lacks character and shown a incredible inability to make sound judgments and decisive ones at that. He has been propped up to give a false identity of substance and experience. The recent migration of the feeble so-called super-delegates from Hillary to Obama merely points out the idiocy of these insubstantive individuals. She is better off without these tokens. Let them gravel at the feet of Obama, where they belong. They deserve each other.

If Obama is the nominee, you can guarantee we Hillary supporters will stand together, we will not forget the insults from Obama, the media, and all of his supporters. We will never vote for Obama. Hillary, take this thing all the way to the convention, girl!!!

brianerickson, you have misread and misinterpretated the prophecy which says that a senator will be opposed to a senator and the younger but powerful senator will be the next president of the Unites States of America. God bless America and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

If Hillary wins the popular vote but loses the nomination, then DEMOCRATS HAVE JUST DONE WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN GRIPING BUSH DID.
This will self-destruct the party, essentially tear it in half.

I hope Hillary runs as an independent!

I will remind all my friends and neighbors for the next 5 1/2 months that we can still write-in Hillary's name in the general election

The only reason Obama is going to Florida and Michigan is that he is scared. He knows the delegates from these states will be seated and will go to Clinton. The decision to do this will be done on May 31st. Clinton will win W VA and Kent BIG. As was already stated, she is beating him 65% to 25% along the Mason-Dixon line. There has not been one candidate to win the Presidency without winning the Mason-Dixon line. I see Clinton winning big and the SuperD's changing their minds and going to Clinton. She has already won the electoral vote. Yep, you're right, the train is leaving.....The Clinton Express.....all the way to the White House....oh, btw, tell Obama we have room for him in the caboose...he's used to bringing up the rear! LOL!

I am a Hillary supporter--a woman, over 50, and don't even think for a second, DNC, that some BS from Obama, can rehab me into voting for him. I will not be moved. I will not be pushed into becoming a part of his slick, sexist, ageist, racist voting block. I think all the Obama team big wigs and the media don't understand how this goes for women like me...Hillary on the ticket or I vote for McCain. I am not interested in the party I am interested in doing what is right for this country. Obama is scary.

The only reason Clinton wants Florida and Michigan to count is because Obama didnt campaign there and She knows the results, do you really think she would want them to count if they went to Obama?Before the Primaries they agreed not to campaign in those states

Time for a Centrist (Third Way) Party, initiated by Senator Clinton's run for the Presidency this November

Like O'bama himself, his fans cannot take the heat. I will not vote for him but McCain is going to blister your man's rear end come this November. Republican operatives will do a much better job than I could begin to do inexposing O'bama's as a Black Nationalist and proponent of Black Power. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Beneath all the satisfaction of a gratifying slogan, Black Power is a nihilistic philosophy born out of the conviction that the Negro can’t win. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment . . . In the final analysis, the weakness of Black power is its failure to see that the Black man needs the White man and the White man needs the Black man.”

Keep fighting, Hill! The next two wins will send a huge message to the supers! Please, Please, PLEASE don't give up yet! If you don't win, we're writing your name in.

If Bill and Hillary started their own party, it would have IMMEDIATE credibility

Ramona, Americans vote for a racist republican like Bush and seem to be Ok with Bigots from the far right, but when it come to Rev.Wright, it's a really big deal.

Why she want Florida and Michigan to cant after the party said it doesnt count, If you you wated those people to count, she should have said that before the primaries, not wait until she sees th results

Obama better watch his back !!

Clinton is staying in the race because she might have an ace or bullet up her sleeve. She can only win if she manages to ruin Obama's reputation. Much like Rev Wrong almost did.

People... lets keep Clinton's and Bushes out of the white house from now on. 24 years of Clintons and Bushes are quit enough thank you.

MikeMo1947 - I agree with the double standard that surrounds Obama's church. White people, no matter the nationality, can celebrate their heritage and pride but when black people do it, it is bigoted? There's alot of white guilt going on around here. I could care less if the president worships Satan because i am not looking to the president for moral leadership. Just as long as gas prices go down, we get out of the war and our economy rebounds, my president can do whatever he/she wants. LORD KNOWS BILL CLINTON DID!

I have volunteered for Hillary's campaign and talked to a lot of African Americans. Many have opened up to me and confessed that they think that she would make a better president but they feel that they need to support the first African-American. They would be happy to vote for Hillary in November if she gets the nomination. The situation on the Hillary side is different. Many of her supporters have been with her for many years and they are not yielding an inch to Obama. Obama has gotten his narrow edge mainly from the internet bloggers that believe what the media says. That is not a strong base at all...

whose the idiots? the one's who are willing to stand with the candidate they have supported for years, or the ones who can't articulate specific policy positions of the deity they support with passion, hatred, arrogance, ignorance, racism and sexism?

What is at stake this season people is....... THE SUPREME COURT" make your vote according to what you want the look of the supreme court to be.

Chaos if we get a good person all people going to do is tear him down and he will appear like every other politican

You people scare me! Although my children are now grown...I am deathly afraid that my grand children will have to endure growing up in a country where they are judged by the color of their skin and not by their character.

Who are we judge any one one of these candiates? For the life of me, I can't understand how Obama could possibly be a racist when his mother was white. If just does not make sense.

Again we've allow the media to dictate our belief
