A "fill in" is all Obama is ever going to be. If he hasn't got a script and step-by-step directions, he can't play the role.

How cold can you get? Lest we forget Wesley is where HRC graduated from. BURR.................

Now the claws have to come out and anti-Obama posters will find something to say to strengthen their dislike. But isn't it nice here in this great country of ours for a Senior ailing Senator (whether you like him or not) to ask a Junior Senator to stand in his stead and have confidence in the little fella. Well that would be nice in this great land, but some will sure bring clouds over any thing that makes people happy and content. Prayers with Senator Kennedy and Senator Obama write a good speech - you follow in the steps of commencement speakers at Wesleyan who have set a high bar - enjoy the day.

Jenney, I agree with your sentiment, but disagree on a fact. HRC graduated from Wellsley.

Sheesh, that came out harsh huh? Actually I hope everyone votes come November. I just wish people voted based on issues that matter, and issues that affect Americans, not uninformed talking points.

Hillary Clinton went to Wellesley College. Where she served as President of the Young Republicans for a little while. Haha! Flip-flopper! :)

Wessley is where Hillary graduated, NOT WESLEYAN!!!!!!where BO is stepping in for Kennedy. I don't think her alma mater would ever wnat BO on their campus.

Obama will give a rousing speech, which will be well received. And with that, he will kick off the general election. Look for Hillary to try to answer by finding a commencement address of her own.

Well stated by Spimewrangler and OnTheGloryRoad. To some of the others: Enough with your cynicism. You do not contribute to solving our major problems by acting like spoil-sports over Hillary's lost campaign.

I’m 35, and have been following politics for quite a while, and I’ve never been so disappointed with a politician I’ve admired and respected. Yesterday’s tactics weren’t just wrong, they were offensive. For that matter, they seem to be part of a deliberate strategy to tear Democrats apart and ensure a defeat in November.

For several weeks, I’ve appreciated the fact that Clinton considers herself the superior candidate, and has kept her campaign going in the hopes, from her perspective, of saving the party from itself. But after yesterday, it’s become impossible for me to consider Clinton’s intentions honorable. Her conduct is not that of a leader.

Instead of trying to help bring the party together — Election Day is 24 weeks away — Clinton went to Florida to argue that if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee, his nomination will be illegitimate. And if the DNC plays by the rules Clinton used to support, it’s guilty of vote-suppression — comparable to slavery, Jim Crow, and Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe.

It is disgusting for HRC to co-opt the Civil Rights struggle after weeks of transparent appeals that whites won’t vote for the black guy which JUST SO COINCIDENTALLY took form during the Appalachian primaries (which conveniently occurred after North Carolina, the last state with a large black population)

It really is disgusting, and yet another nail in the coffin of what used to be Bill and Hillary's positive legacy to the party. She is now being openly mocked across the media and political spectrum. But I'm sure mentioning that is "sexist", and that everyone criticizing the joke her campaign has become is sexist as well.

Yes we love Hillary, write her in pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

wow i really just dont know why anyone would still vote for hillary... talk about just a disgusting display...

how many times has she changed her position or reinvented her voice

such a terrible hypocrite

count all the votes except dont!

and of course im still waiting to hear about this gas tax holiday she is going to try to pass... after all memorial day weekend is coming up...

or does that not count since she lost north carolina and didnt get the huge win in indiana like she wanted

It's time for Ted Kennedy to step down from his Senate seat so someone sane can replace him and bring "CHANGE" and "HOPE" and make people 'FEEL CHANGE IN THE AIR'.

if everyoen writes in hillary perhaps she will get as many votes as ron paul!

Like THAT isn't a set-up???

Bhrandon or all the Democratic whites votes anyway :)

SMS - yes you are 35, though you sound much younger. Hillary is NOT doing anything disgusting, she is only fighting to get everyone's vote counted. Not for selfish reasons, either. If she wanted to win at all costs, there are a lot of things she could do and hasn't. You are totally misconstruing her reasons, and if you want to change your vote to someone else, that's your choice. You will find out too late that you reap what you sow, but so will all others whether they deserve it or not, because your vote counts too. No one ever thought this race was going to be so tight, and changing tactics is not the mark of an unethical person, it is the mark of someone who can think on their feet and react appropriately to a changing landscape. Your perspective is shallow, unthought-out and vindictive. I can personally she is for unity for the party, as I just talked to Clinton campaign headquarters, and based on my questions about write-in, they would not discuss that because of the party disunity that would cause. I personally disagree though, why rally behind a party that has shown such terrible and biased leadership. I won't repeat my experiences talking to the local DNC office, they are in my post above.

Please, rethink your reaction, and instead of making assumptions, do some research before you start writing hateful angry and, yes, divisive comments. People read these things and they do have the potential to affect how people think and act.

Write-in's won't work in many states, unfortunately. I checked w/the state of PA and they reminded me of the electoral votes they have (21). Since Hillary is a democrat, the DNC has the right to decide who the electoral votes go to in the general. If they've already chosen obama as the nominee, they would give the electoral votes to obama, if the state went to the Dems.

The lawyer I spoke w/ in the govt office referred me to the U.S. Constitution, Article XII. 1 million write-in votes in one state would definitely make a statement but from what I've learned, will not elect a President due to the "electoral votes." If anyone knows something different I would like to know.

So, right now is the time to fight for the best candidate. Beat down the media and DNC until we have justice.

She is just fighting fire with fire, SMS.

SMS - I agree with your post. I was a former HRC supporter. As a woman, I don't think she's suffering from sexism. I think she's suffering from Clintonism. There are a lot of people who are not interested in putting them back in office...democrats and republicans---especially republicans. They burned a lot of bridges with friends.

She appears to want to be president as an ego-booster...or maybe to get out of her pending court case for campaign funds in her senate run....I don't really know what it is-but I'm starting to think it is not strictly for the American people.

Are you serious? Clinton is doing what she has to in order to keep the party together at all.

Yes Florida and Michigan need to be counted. At this point, Obama should let them seat as they were elected -- and he still wins.

Without them, Obama has even less of a chance at the White House than he does now.
