Thank You Super Delegates! Let's all come together now...Democrats need to Unite and take the fight to McCain.

Thanks, superdelagates, for giving us at least 4 years of McCain. Barack is not going to win the big states, and he will not win the GE. Unless he's got Hillary to help him. He better pray she'll help him, otherwise he can lose to McCain.

Thanks, supermorons, for giving us a democratic candidate who cannot win AGAIN.

So much for the Republicans plans to use Paul vs Clinton to bury Hillery this fall. Now instead of going after Sen Clinton on the biggest case of fundraising fraud in history, they will be forced to go after Flag Pins and crazy ex-pastors.

I'd love to hear the details of why ABC's numbers are different.

I think it is great news...and I am pretty sure this margin is just going to grow.

America every day now shows that she may be the country that the world thinks it is...not one that is entrenched in back door old school shadow governments that can't get ot of it's own way to destruction.

America might lead again. It might be okay to "buy American" again. It might be okay to stand up for America again in small villages and large national government halls across the world.

We might actually have a chance to get back on the right path...not this one we have been on for decades which led us here.

Congrats to Obama. I hope he got a receipt.

The other comments are funny. In Clinton supporters view on here...Suddenly the supers are dumber than they are... as a group...you know "the voters have been duped" ..."the supers are dumb snobby elitist"..."the media is biased toward Obama"..."people like McGovern and Kennedy and Gore and Kerry and Carter and Dodd are all just ultra left wing liberals"

can you hear yourselves... how do you think all these people are wrong and those small group of die hard clintonistas are the only ones right.

wake up...Obama is the better candidate...and in my opinion has been the better person. Period. ...and actually just to take this primary...the better fighter...

Yesterday, Sen Obama met with uncommitted superdelegates. When he entered the room they cheered and many address him as "Mr. President." He will probably pick up the majority of superdelegates over the weekend. Clinton's pleged delegats are now abandoning her. Expect her to withdraw in the next few days. Hillary Clinton never did have many real political supporters among the electorate. She has fans. There's a big difference. Remember, fan is short for fanatic.

My goodness, it seems some of the HCR suppoters are sore losers. Or maybe they're just bitter.

I believe that the writing is on the wall and I hope that this process will be over soon. It is very damaging to the DNC to keep this going. I support Senator Obama fr president 2008.

Thank God this guy says he's a democrat. He's like a force of nature chewing through anything that gets in his path. I don't think it's his change message that's pushing him to the top. It's his overall attractiveness & salesmanship qualities. If he's able to persuade 15 million voters even though he has an empty resume, then who knows what he could accomplish with other populations around the world? I vote democrat no matter who gets the nom.

It is about time to end this nonsense and waste of time. Hillary because of her stuborness, is working for the republicans. Hillary should be stopped and also take off her mind that she would be in a ticket with Obama. I don't think that Obama will go against what has been the core of his message: eliminate the old politics...and Hillary is the best example of it.

Obama - for a new future in America.

It is interesting that ABC is the ONLY one to have Obama in the lead with superdels. I think the operative phrase in the article is "its an imperfect science". The ploy from the beginning was to have Obama win the nomination and then the republicans show him the door. His supporters have swallowed this hook, line and sinker. Now we will have another four years of McBush. How incredibly sad!

To: 12345 -- Telling Hillary supporters that "they need to grow up" and then name calling them "idiots" will not build loyal support for Obama.

And by the way, although many Democrats in Pennsylvania said that they did not trust her, she won those same Pennsylvania Democrats by a near 10 point margin.

BOTTOMLINE: Respect others and campaign for Democratic leadership. Obama may win the nomination but he is still far away from winning the White House.

So what defines, "the better candidate?"

Perhaps it's the notion that something clean, fresh, and untarnished could possibly be interested in making the world a better place?

Perhaps it's the fact that I've seen politicians come and go all my life and they ARE tarnished and beaten down by what they percieve as hopelessness.

Perhaps all too late in life, I've realized that it's not Senator Obama that is making all this happen; no, it's me. I'm no longer too fed up with MY government to care.

Perhaps now I can sense that if Congress doesn't work to make my children's future a bit brighter, I'll go state to state to find a candidate who does care.

It's got to be all of us working together. It can't be, " they'll do it so I don't have to."

Hillary, if you are the woman you claim to be, if I can believe in all the things you stand for, not only as a Democrat, but as the caring noble woman you are, you'll offer another like yourself, the chance to succeed. Tell your ardent supporters, your friends, the citizens of this Country who believe in you, the people who live vicariously through you and all that you stand for; tell them to back a young, bright, Senator who deserves all the hope we can muster. He'll need it.

To: Zinger -- Yes, Obama has had the political machine pumping up his candidacy. This is the same Democratic Congress which has a 12% approval rating. To many of us, having THEM decide is NOT a good thing. It means a few are deciding the election. This isn't democratic.

You call Hillary supporters "fanatics" when Obama supporters are throwing their panties on his stage, applauding when he sneezes, whistling when he wears blue jeans and purchasing his half uneaten lunches on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

You failed to mention the heart of America, the voters. Over 15 million of these voters have favored Clinton. The race is much closer in votes than the media wishes to reveal. This landslide of support is all smoke and mirrors. Unfortunately, the smoke won't clear until November 2008 when McCain SHOCKINGLY wins the GE.

DAVID NH:

Right On Brother! Best comment I've read in a while. Cudos my friend.

The Democrats would like this race between Obama and Clinton to be over but it will go to the convention floor. Hillary loves money and she would not have lent her campaign over 6 million dollars if she didn't have something up her sleeve.

If I can't have Hillary, then go McCain! Democrats for McCain

To: DAVID NH --

One become "tarnished" by fighting for causes that you believe in. That is why many Hillary supporters believe that SHE is the BEST candidate to lead America. She has battle scars & she enemies. She earned them fighting for the middle class.

To persuade Hillary supporters to vote for Obama, one should NOT use the argument because he is "young" or because he is "bright" - or because he gives you goosebumps bursting with hope.

Hillary HAS accomplished what Obama claims he wants to do -- she has created CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN -- she has CROSSED THE AISLE TO BUILD BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.

Obama offers a "fresh" promise while Hillary has repeatedly offered "bloody" proof.

Obama has yet to enter the meat grinder while Hillary has been ground to perfection for years. She's won our respect based on 15 years of intense scrutiny not 15 minutes of intense speech.

It will be a struggle convincing Hillary supporters that Obama is the "BEST" choice. We disagree.

Hillary MUST be on the Obama ticket. Then, Hillary voters would still be able to vote her into the White House. It's the only way to win back those 15 million lost votes. Obama must EMBRACE Hillary so we can embrace Obama.

Obama has to distance himself from Reverened Wright because white folks still in control. Once he is elected president things will change. The CIA and the military gonna have to stop experimenting on black folks and aids will eventually disappear. This is going to help our African brothers too. Billy Graham will be out Farakan and Wright will be in.

The supers, Obama supporters, and the media are out of touch with reality. Did you see Rove's electoral map last night? Did you hear Scarborough say Clinton is clearly the better candidate but Obama's terrible numbers will magically change in November???? How??? I guess you need to see it for yourself in November to believe it. Obama is going to be humiliated and all of you that ignore the fact that us Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama will look like fools.

Hillary be lucky if Obama gives her vice president. That way we can get the white votes too. Things is gonna change when we gets a black man in the whitehouse. Thank God the chickens is comin home to roost. Thank Pastor Wright for gettin Obama the education he needed to have the vision

To: Tonea --

I like your Democratic spirit! You said, "Hillary needs to get out of the way so we can have our turn." Let's see how successful that argument is when you ask Republican/McCain voters to get of the way for Obama.

"Chickens is comin home to roost" was originally what Malcolm X said when he expressed joy that JFK had been assassignated. It's not a quote that anyone should be repeating.

Regardless of how many delegates Obama picks up, he will fail to receive the vote of many Americans and he will not receive the votes of the majority of Hillary supporters. He is too liberal.

I believe now is the time for any Democrat who has a brain, to leave the party and become Independent. There is no way Barack Obama can win in a general election. The DNC has picked a losing candidate again.

It is always good to be a "KING"! Am happy that the SD are recognising the reality. I do not understand why the Clintons are tending to turn to a blind eye.

The game is over!! It has been a long and very exhausted one and now we have reached the end of it.

Clintons, please do us a favor and depart gracefully!

Good point above dl

Obviously the Supadelegates are ELITISTS.

If only Hillary can secure the nomination she can clean house of all Elitists such as SupaDs and Mathmaticians and Economists and the other booklearned types who think they are better than the working man.

I want a Democrat to win.

Should Obama become that Democrat, I will be vigorously campaigning for him in the hot 100 plus degree Texas sun to get him elected.

However, it is not the wisest decision. He will be a MUCH HARDER SELL as I go knocking on doors to those leaning towards McCain.

I don't even know why one should vote if it's not going to count anyways......All the votes are not in yet so why don't they just wait to see what plays out...Does this scare them that Wv and Ky still to vote .....Obama acts like wv or Ky and the rest doesn't matter ....

I am very strong Clinton supporter. She did wonderful job fighting like warrior till now.

But seems time has came, I strongly think every body who ever they supported, must unite behind Obama. I didn't liked this man initially. But after having second look at him, I don't see anything which stops me without to support him.

Fellow Clinton supports, it is time, we need to unite behind Obama to beat Republicans.

After all we are Democrats, we believe in democratic values…

C. Higman,

I do believe that the Clinton name has been tried and bloodied. But surely, you meant Bill.

As for practical Senatorial experience, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama BOTH seved the same terms!! No more, no less.

While I do understand the sense of loss from an historical loss such as this, eventually, common sense will win out. People will vote with their heart, not their pride, in November.

Like all the others Obama says what he has to to get the votes. You can't always tell things exactly how they are and get elected. What is important is that he do the right thing once he get elected. I believe he will get to the truth about 911 and stop using the army to oppress other people. Its way past time to stop all this traditional christian crap that encourages one group to oppress another. You don't gotta look no farther than police dapartments in the ig Apple or Philly to see recent examples of white abuse.

Obama must not put Hillary in his ticket. That would be the worst decision. Needless is to say the kind of person HRC is. People should remember the scandals in the white house...like the scandal with her own brother...when he was accused of selling influence....
It is funny to hear the Clinton's team to say that Obama is an "elitist"...when she does not even know how to operate a coffee machine....
or when she said in a TV show "God bless the rich people"....incredible..
I think that Obama should get a fresh group of people that wants to go for a REAL CHANGE in Washington and not the old crap that Clintons and Bushs have been doing these last years. It's up to the people that voted for clinton to decide if they want to go along with the other DEMOCRAT choice...or if they want 4 more years of Bush thru McCain...
Personally, I think that some of them will think it better and they will go for Obama because, in the end, he is also a Democrat. But I am also clear that some others will go for Mc Cain or they will not vote -which is the same as giving their vote for Mc Cain- I just hope that they can live with their decision if Mc Cain wins in November, because the truth is, that such decision will not affect economically to Clinton or Obama, but the voters.

Obama - For a real change in Washington

To: Rob --

The Democratic party does NOT represent democratic values when it comes to electing a nominee.

Superdelegates are valued more than the average voter.

How is this democratic? It is not.

The joke is on all of you for taking this seriously.
The game is rigged - they are all corporate controlled puppets... and you are too dazed by the "show" to know the difference.
Go back to reality TV.

Who is going to be in charge of damage control. Most of these blogs are saying if it's not CLinton, dems will vote for Mccain or not at all. Superdelegates REALLY need to read these blogs. When we are faced with 4 more years of a Republican in the White HOuse, look to the superdelgates who put him there. Richardson went against the will of the people. And Obama saw nothing wrong with that, oooops, that was to his benefit.

If the delegate count is that close, I can see why Hillary has not thrown in the towel. I suspect that if Obama is the nominee that McCain will win the Office of POTUS. Those in my circle of friends and family plan to vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee. It is definitely an exciting campaign and so very interesting.

I keep hearing that Obama can't win. He's done such a great job beating the Clinton machine that I have no fears about the general election. John Kerry was a mistake, Obama is not.

There is no way i could ever bring myself to vote for Obama and what he stands for...NO WAY.....

To Hillary supporters vowing to vote for McCain: Many more young men and women will die in Iraq, devasting their families (parents, wives, children, and other loved ones) because you choose to vent your anger in the voting booth? If you believe John McCain is the candidate that will lead this nation in the right direction, by all means, vote for him. But if you are simply voting for John McCain because your are angry that Obama is the nominee instead of Hillary, I hope our American soldiers that die appreciate the fact that they gave their lives to satisy your discontent.

Chelsea, I respectfully disagree with your observation that from this campaign it's obvious 'women are at the back of the bus.' I'd vote for the right woman just as easily as I'd vote for the right man. Hillary just isn't the right woman- she has too many negatives and is too divisive.

I will also be voting for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee. A vote for McCain is one less vote for Obama and a vote for Obama is a vote for change alright...but it won't be change people will like.

Higman

I am supporter of Clinton as said, but she is lagging on every aspects (Pledged delegates, popular vote, selling qualities etc, forget about super delegates).

I still like this female warrior. But it is time to respect American people decision, they want Obama. We are Clinton supports not fanatics.

Time to unite behind Obama, time for us to change.

Think about it my fellow Clinton supports..

Rob..

Superdelegates do not represent equally candidates support. Fear that a woman can take the lead? Please open your mind, we are on 21st century!

Against all odds. WE DID IT! Obama we be crowned KING! Obama '08

I am so glad to read this ,in this mornings paper a person said she DESERVED to be president.WOW blew my mind to think one can e president because she thinks we owe it to her .I want to know why????It is time this woman bows out of this race,all she is doing is dividing the dem.....

I read both his books and fell in love with him.

Got them from the library, cause I'm working class.
I'm a 60 year old straight white male from North Carolina...

Congratulations Barack! And thank you for taking the high road. Hillary, I think it's time to leave West Virginia. I'm sure at this point they don't appreciate being used as white pawns in your chess game.

One reson and only one reason why Hillary can't win on November, she can't beat Barack...

I would prefer conservative judges than radical ones any time.

Anyone except Obama

Again you guys ignore the poll numbers in a head-to-head match-up, idiots. You deserve a horrific country.

Plus you guys are sheep, just support your party blindly, it is hilarious. I hope you all fall off a cliff, 1000 feet deep and die. Hillary was sadly the best of the big 3....and they are the worst candidates ever....

America's ignorance is disgraceful, I hope you all feel the wrath of the death of this country because you guys deserve it. SOme of us don't, but if you cast your vote for Obama, Hillary or McCain you deserve the worst.

Obama ,wright and Farrakhan are as one....They all agree one the same things and it's such a shame that the ones voting for him think it's ok to hate America and to GD...America...And that we deserved 911 ...This is the sickist thing i have ever seen......American's turning on their own Country for some one like Obama.....

Interesting to read comments making Obama an intellectual snob and, in essence, the BLACK-OH,SCARY-GUY.It's going to be fun hearing from the closeted and not-so-closeted Racists the rest of the way until November.I think we find out what kind of country we really have here.Wright counts big time but Hagee doesn't.Interesting.

Delphine: "I fear for Obama's life if he appoints Hillary as his running mate."

Right on! I've been saying for quite a while that he would be a fool to have her as his running mate and, thus, only a heartbeat (bullet) away from his presidency.

way to go superdelegate - substandard social values wins everytime - Obama and is overly hateful wife need to be sent back to hell.

Jack: Hillary had a lot of support from African Americans early on. She even had the support of the Mayor of Philadelphia and yet Barack cut her lead in half there while going up against the established Rendell machine. It was Rendell who started this early in the process when he said white men wouldn't vote for Barack. It was Bill who diminished his win in South Carolina. Had it not been for that, she may not have lost their support.

Dear Mallory P, I'm "stunned" to hear that a full-fledged racist is alive and well within the Democratic Party!!!

After some months of reading these comments and the blogs it is clear that given Senator Clinton losing the nomination, the best course of action is to shift support to Senator McCain.

McCain is not Bush. He is a fine Senator and was a fine officer. Obama is not anyone I can trust. He has no record of achievement and he does have more albatrosses than any candidate in recent history or at least since George Wallace.

McCain for President.

Corruption, corruption no more shadey caucuses. Clinton won the popular vote in Texas but gets less delegates. Only 41% of the results of the caucuses in Texas are official because there are signs of fraud on the part of Obama supporters. only computerized popular votes should count. Let the people of Michigan and Florida have their say, DNC and Obama campaign.

TommyReb,
The Democratic is the most racist party in the history of mankind. Roberty Byrd....is still alive and a Democrat...FDR was the only president in the history to put a race in a camp...

The Democrats are the party of racism and hate

The blue colour voters know that it is CLINTON and not Obama who will save their bacon.

People also know where their loyalties lie, who worked for them for decades. It is a mistake to dismiss the wishes of the blue colour voters, the hispanics, the elederly, and women who often are single parents, have to make ends meet and feed their kids.

It's the college kids who never had to earn their living for a day who are mesmerised by rethoric, ignore all the anti-american facts about their candidate. Not to mention some delegates jumping on the "all boy's" band wagon because they can't bear the though of a woman President - even if she is the MOST ELECTABLE of the bunch.

These voters are not going to go away -Obama should not prance about as if he was already the "anointed one", because he is NOT going to get Hillary's voters on board.

Len: Why can't you trust Obama? He has from very prominent Senators and statesmen putting their credibility on the line to suppot him. Do you think he's goin to put Snoop Dog in his cabinet or something? Get real!

I am so sick of seeing I am voting for Mc Caim go do it,You remember that when more young men and women die in the war,when you are walking to work or freezing in your home for the oil prices are making some people rich and hurting the middle and poor class.All the big guys are making millions and we are paying for it.Time for this country to work for the little guy to hell with the corrp.let them foot the bliis for a while.Makes me so mad to see this broad dividing this country.....she means nothing she says she has an obsession with this and no one is taking it away from her ,if she can't have it no neither can anyone else....

Tim, my candidate has yet to run for President yet. And verbal provocation is not a defense to a assualt and battery. I would have fun seeing you in criminal and civil court if you did.

I am not demented. I care about my fellow citizens, just not the ones that destroy this country. Obama will not get us out of Iraq nor will McCain nor will Hillary. Hillary will have us in Pakistan fighting too...McCain in Iran...Obama in Sudan....

Getting rid of the idiots is for the better.....

Those who support the two party system, hate this country.

Obama represents the worst in the black community. I am not a racist and would be happy to vote for a black candidate like Powell or Rice. I might have been fooled by Obama if I had not read items published by his pastor and his wife. When you couple those readings with his long history with the that church, it becomes clear who he is. He has never believed in traditional christian values and is far to close to islam for me. Islam is the enemy and so is Obama's church. Wake up people this man is the enemy and he will destroy our nation from within.

Hillary lost for one reason above all others, because Obama is for real. No other candidate would have stopped her, and while her campaign made some blunders, if he had not run such a great campaign, she would have won. It is time for her and her supporters to show what they really stand for and for our sake let's hope it is not 4 more years of Bush. The last time I felt this hopeful about a candidate was 48 years ago. Obama will not only be reaching out to Hillary supporters, he'll be reaching out to Republicans. It is time to unite this country. John McCain can't do it, Obama can and will. When the country is strong like eight years ago we could afford a mistake, although it shouldn't have taken a second term for the country to realize it. Now we can't afford for that mistake to continue.

I am wondering whether Barak Obama would actually pass a security check done by the CIA. The potential of his becoming president is very scary. I think that Hillary should run as an independent, this will be the only way to keep Obama out of office

If Obama doesn't choose Hillary as his running mate, that would show arrogance since he is only getting the nomination by a hair. It would show disrespect to the HALF of the party that cast their votes for Hillary. If she's not on the ticket, I'm not voting.

Len: Richardson stood on principal. Do you think he turned on the Clintons for the fun of it? He knows first hand what they're all about. How do you explain all of the women in high places who are not supporting the Hillary? I would call Senator Nunn quite prominent.

Obama is to Change as Rudy is to 9/11...
I think it is hilarious people think a typical democrat is going to bring change...delusional...people need to see a therapist.

The first 60 SDs to do so B4 may 12th will have me ;) blessing... lol... an eternal political career [their concubines and love child perpetually hidden] and a 3 bed apartment in the heavens above... :), ear to ear one...

Even if Hillary is the vp nomination, ill be voting Mccain. Obama and his associations are too just too evil and hate filled for me to trust him. Hope the superdelegates get their act together and realize too many Hillary supporters wont support Obama.

Even if Hillary is the vp nomination, ill be voting Mccain. Obama and his associations are too just too evil and hate filled for me to trust him. Hope the superdelegates get their act together and realize too many Hillary supporters wont support Obama.

Obama brought all the division on himself and i hope he doesnt win the general election. It is my opinion he will do even worse than Bush Jr did. He will lead this country into even darker times. If i have to ill be voting Mccain. I still hope Hillary pulls something out of her hat and wins the nomination.

obama not only took on hillary - but took on bill clinton as well - and is crushing them both - and their reputations single-handedly. i don't think he is quite as inept as as these duped clintonites (sheep) may wish to believe.

they fought dirty - and he still won.

it's over. move on hillary and bill.

If John Edwards throws his support around Obama, and the whole party, INCLUDING Hillary, support him, then he has a good chance of beating McCain. I'm not concerned. I would have been worried if Hillary got the nomination because she is a filthy politician who doesn't know when to quit.

Omentum,
Yes, I am bitter. But, it has nothing to do with Hillary. I think it is Hillary lost, she wanted it so bad (it was her life) and she lost....

I am bitter that the two party system has ruined this country. It is an evil thing....these two factions...look at them...they only care about party. They hate the American people, the country, its laws, and everything in between....I hate the parties with all my heart.

I will possibly kill myself depending on how pissed I am when the GE happens. I hope there are a bunch of faithless electors in the General Election that don't vote for the two party thugs.

Obama will NOT unite the Democratic party. His arrogance and his arrogant, immature bloggers, the DNC, and media have all ruined that chance. If not Clinton then McCain will get my vote. This desparate country needs someone in that office with experience who can make a difference on Day 1. At least McCain fought for this country -- what has Obama done????? Please someone tell me.....

That leaves Clinton with just one path to victory... It is time to double Obama's Secret Service Protection.

To those Obama haters: You could choose to be ignorant or try to learn about him by reading his books. The man has gone to great lengths to discuss his view of everything under the sun. He is extraordinarily realistic, mature, balanced, knowledgeable and intelligent. Hillary's and McCain's books were written by professional ghost writers and I can't say as much for them.

Barak and roll, if you are supporting at all the things Mr Wright (he doesnt deserve reverend) but if you support what he said, then i feel sad for you in this the 21st century..Slavery and all of that mess happened long ago..plenty long enough for that man to let it go and have time to heal...He was never enslaved, yes he may have been treated differently, but the rest of the country has made great strides to get beyond that, i see no reason he couldnt..he continued to preach hate and division every sunday i would assume...he deserves to be criticised and obama deserves to be criticised also. both are racially divisive people, with no place in politics

Some of us are willing to vote for General Powell or Ms. Rice! Powell went along with the decision to got to war even though he disagreed with it. He should have resigned if he had any integrity. Rice was the national security adviser when 9/11 happened. In any other country she would have resigned her post. Rather than resign she argued about the lack of actionable intelligence! This is the same person who would later sit in meetings that endorsed indiscriminate torture. Come on people, let us apply higher standards to all the candidates. By the way Mr. Bush is a devout Christian. Look where our country is now.

You're either with Obama or you're with the terrorists. Period.

Brian - you are exactly why hillary clinton lost.

and sadly - you still don't it et yet either.

devisive, bitter, angry, would rather self destruct all around you than lose gracefully.

keep it up - and she won't be back at all.

criticized
