She kicked his but in his back yard and we all knew he was going to win NC he played like he was behind and since he has been protected by the party I guess there are a bunch of us looking for a new party I am one of the people who will not vote for a man who wons by cheating he could of had a re-vote in MI. and Fl he could seat them today and I would still not vote for him because Kennedy and Kerry and Pelosi will run this party if he is elected Hillary's win was much bigger he was up 35 points.He is the front runner and can't close the deal. Nice write up about Michelle today and on Fox let the fun begin.

Hillary needs to drop out, but Obama needs to offer her a goodie package to do so.

-pay off her campaign debts

-offer her the VP spot or a high position in his administration

- offer her the healthcare project.

The rest of us need to get over the bickering and nonsense.

The Clinton supporters are sore right now. Dont mock them or put Bill and Hillary Down. Let them get over it. Its just human nature to be upset.

We love Bill and Hillary just as much as you guys love Obama. Treat Bill and Hillary with respect and you will find that the party can start to heal and we can rally around Obama.

Clinton had a chance to do the right thing for the party last night in her "victory" speech.

I am very disappointed in Clinton last night and I think the American people were disappointed.

What we saw last night was the death of the old politics of deception, pander and divisiveness in the Democratic party. A sad spectacle which could have been a great moment for the Clinton's.

Next stop is McCain and the Republican party.

See if you can win without the other half of the dem party. There is nothing new with Obama do you think he will have control guess again he owes Kery, Kennedy, Dodd, on and on .

It's time to move on. Hillary has lost and its time to swallow it. We must rally around the Democratic nominee to defeat the Rethugs in November and that is the bottom line. Hillary can't win.

It's funny how you can sense in the country as the primary kind of came to a close last night how much is on Barack's side going into the general.
As much as they are going to inflame fears and racism in the general

you definitely realize how bad a situation the country is in and not only that but John McCain is not running as the John McCain that had a different take than Bush...

It's a beautiful day.

This was a neighboring state where he outspend her again 3:1.

There was no reason he shouldn't have won Indiana by a large margin.

She was down by 23% in North Carolina where he also out spent her 3:1

She cut into his lead by almost 10%

Democrats need to ask themselves if 90% of the blck vote is enough to win the white house. It isn't.

Democrats always win the black vote. There are going to be some mighty diappointed people in Nov if Dems don't think hard about this.

Look at the maps in Indiana and NC, where Clinton won is where the dems need to win to take the white house.

It was a convincing victory for Obama. After the big storm, the sunshine is shinning brightly to him.

Sorry for Hillary but whenever there is a competition, there must be the winner and the loser. Its time to move on. We are all democrats, and we will always remain so!

I think its small minded to believe that a good portion of Hillary's voters will not vote for Obama in November. When McCain is given proper attention they will vote for the Dem nominee. A great deal also depends upon what Hillary does and how she exists the race. It is over for her..and she must face it. I have faith in this country and belief that it isn't all about racism and race; if it was, Obama wouldn't be where he is..there are plenty of people that are not black voting for him.

Let's be positive about this..I know Hillary fans are sore right now and will be for a minute, but the bottom line is Obama will be the nominee..and we must get a Dem in the WH this fall..

For weeks it was posted that Obama would win North Carolina, a forgone conclusion because of the number of black's registered Democratic in the state---so why is it a big deal when he wins there? The big deal was Obama's "sister" state the state that Obama says they know him and vote along with the people from Illinois---he lost there. His campaign was predicting a 5 to 6 % win over Hillary there that did not happen. Another interesting fact was that a huge amount of people in NC voted early before the Rev. Wright issues with the aid of Obama campaign followers.

It is going to come down to a civil and racial problem of huge proportions in this country because this man is not capable enough to be President, they are electing him because he is black. As Rev.Wright truthfully said the "change" is coming for the black people to rein.

If you won by deception, by trumping everyone of your opponents by the race card, and by relentless lies of framing others being negative while you are the one who does it, you will not win supports from supporters that you so trashed. Who cares Demos or Reps, it is the candidate who matters - it the United States of America as you have said. We'd support an honest, straightshooter who is a hero and has time again shown to work with demos and reps. We can live with four years of good, perhaps first, cooperations in the government rather than having every legislation derailed by fillbuster.

The Demo establishment is willing to do anything to throw away a GE to keep an affirmative action candidate. Who knows, Wright and Rezko might team up together, if not going to prison, to help him.

HRC will come back in four years and BO will become another one of typical Demo presidential nominees becoming a general election loser.

I think she could win as a Independent but the worst part of this is that this whole race she has been told to get out by the people who want to run this country Eighty % of the women who support Hillary will not vote for Obama .He is not honest but the MSM won't touch him because he is AA and used the race card at every turn.And trashing Bill Clinton in this party something you vever see the republicans do to Regan President Clinton is the only two term Democratic president since 1945

I really like Obama's landslide win in North Carolina. Liked his speech too!

It showed a lot of class.

I would like to see Hillary and the Hillary fans too, to show some class.

Isn't it about time?

Bill in NC;

You want support from those by first trashing them - you can dream on. McCain is really delighted to face a typical Democratic nominee.

Every contest that Hillary won she has been put down she came from behind last night and was out spent 3to1 but yet all we ever hear is OBama Obama Obama. The MSM setout to trash Clinton from the start now they will trash Obama you will see. I hope the women of MA.vote out Kerry and Kennedy.

51-49=100 hillary win in
Indiana
56-42=98 obama win in NC where is the other 2 percent? hmmmmm
Anyway the Obama bandwagon is leaving...jump on Hillary there is room for you....Obama could not have shown more class in his speech.

He uses the race card every time he speaks.

I am a Senator Clinton supporter as is my family and friends. But at this point, the numbers look pretty grim. One thing is for sure though: we MUST put a democrat in the White House so that SOME things change! We cannot sit around here anymore and allow the republicans (or what is left of them) to kill off the economy through war and what looks like far right socialism. My only hope is that Senator Clinton does the right thing and steps down so that our party can heal and unite around Senator Obama. If she can do that gracefully, then at least she has a shot in 2012 or better yet in 2016! She has a choice to make and hopefully she will make the right one (seeing that trying to 'chaos' us into a win didn't work)

God bless Senator Clinton and God bless America!

wake up bishop

Obama has had the worst month of his political career and has been getting trashed for 6 weeks on every news cycle. we the people just did not fall for the hype

Well since she won't be droping out I guess all will have to just wait she is in WV. today. And holding up her win last night was smart move on Obama's part.The friends he has in Gary did a good job don't tell me he doesn't play dirty and bringing the Rev out last week did'nt put an end to it you will see him again.

You wake up Hillary and Bill have been getting trashed for years and are still standing.And she will go on

I am puzzled by complaints about Obama's campaign spending. The only reason Obama has been able to spend more is because more people donate to his campaign. That is one of the primary things the superdelegates will consider; how much can a candidate raise to run his or her election. If Hillary had more support from voters then she would also have more donations to work with. This is a political fact of life. If you complain about Obama's spending but have not maxed out your own donations to Clinton I really don't see what your point is.

Not only that, but he did it on donations that average under $100 and with a list of supporters of over 1,500,000 who gave money to his campaign. He can go back to the donor list for the general election because only a minute part of his funds are for the general. Though he accepted some lobbyist money at the state level in the past, he has committed to not taking any money from lobbying firms and has sent back any donantions they have offered.

In fact Obama has so much extra cash he has begun voter registration drives in all 50 states with some of his excess funds. This effort will help all Democratic candidates, not just the one running for president.

She would not drop out...under the sniper fire. She also would not do it without this tale.
Supers should come out, vote and close the deal.
It s time to get short rest and work under McCain and...uniting Dems.

Clintons do not count anymore.

Actually Clinton won Indiana by 1.9% 637, 389 50.9% to Onbama 615,370 49.1%
In North Carolina Obama won by 15% 890,705 57.5% to 657,943 for Clinton 42.5%.

As a republican, I would love nothing better if Mrs. Clinton continued on. Fact is, there is noway she can STEAL this away from Mr. Obama anymore. The only reason Mrs. Clinton will stay in this race is to try and make Mr. Obama look bad, and set herself up for 2012! It is a shame that all this is going on, because Mr. Obama plain and simple kicked her Butt in this Primary season, and he PLAYED BY THE RULES!!!! Goodness people, when are you going to open your eyes on the Clinton agenda! She is done, and now she needs to get OUT!

"FROM THE HANOI HILTON TO THE WHITE HOUSE". Remember that slogan!

There is no way that Obama will lose to an OLD man that should be retired. Hillary supporters that say they will vote for mc-more-war are just closet republicans who would have voted republican anyway. We need someone to clean up the mess caused by the bush-league, and that person is Obama. Obama 2008!

pt,
How will Obama beat McCain with the support of only blacks,students,latte liberals, and a few other voters????

All you dreamy newbies need to understand we have seen this show before and know how it turns out. Here is a spoiler -the far left liberal nominee gets blown out in November.

Some uniter please tell dumb and dumber you know Donna B. and Dean there plan to railroad our party is not working to well that's the problem with all the high educted people who so called vote for Obama no street smarts. They can't read the people.They think they can unite abunch of p#####d off women who are fed up.

Recent polls have shown that Obama supporters are much more likely to vote for Clinton in the general election than Clinton supporters are willing to vote for Obama. Obama supporters seem to understand the paramount need is to end the horrendous policies of the Bush administration. Are Clinton supporters incapable of seeing the importance of this? Anyone who would vote for the 2008 version of McCain over Obama apparently wants to continue GW's war and economic policies. Are you stark, raving mad?

If Obama is the nominee. I will vote for McCain. I am an independent. I am also a black woman. I do not think that Obama will be a good president. That is why I will not vote for him plain and simple. It is not out of bitterness. It is because I think he is not ready to be our leader. I heard many Obama supporters say they would not vote for Hillary if she were the nominee in November. When I asked them why they replied that they could not vote for her in November if they did not respect her during the primaries. Now that he is the winner the Obamaphiles must understand that it goes both ways. He will not win in November.

I' a New York state resident and have voted for the Clintons. I think senator Obama has already won the nomination. He has brought tremendous excitement and new vigor to the democratic party. More than any candidate in recent memory, he has been able to motivate the youth which in my view represents the future of the party. The base of the democratic party has been expended. The party will be in a position to be compettive in all state come November.
As a conciliatory and healing gesture, I think senator Obama should offer the vice presidency slot to senator Clinton. Bill Clinton should stay out of the way. It's up to her to accept it or not.

geevill,
Obama's support is much more widespread than you care to admit. Of course his support is more educated, so that explains a few of these blogs. No party has ever held onto the white house when there was a recession during an election year. People are fed up with the bush/cheney mentality, why do you think Obama has raised so much money from ordinary people unlike the other candidates. Obama 2008!

I will vote McCain in Ga. we don't
have to declare a party I have been a
Democrat for ever but not any more.
McCain will win Ga in the GE I might
Write in Hillary . Donna B. said
more or less there is a new dem.
party so I guess they won't miss us
but I have many friends that are
ging to write Hillary in. And I think
it will come as a suprise how many
will do this.

Have you heard the steady drumbeat ---Obama, Obama, Obama? Last night, I was asked why the networks haven’t announced Hillary the winner in Indiana because they announced Obama the winner 1 minute after the polls closed in NC without even counting one vote! The reason I told my friend is simple this is a tribal black vote. In Indiana they were waiting for areas to report that are high black density and they knew that the votes would be for Obama. In NC the ratio of registered black voters is super high, so they knew in advance of Election Day that Obama would win. The blacks are unified and the rest of the country is not. Rev. Wright said clearly and truthfully that “change” is coming and many black pastors announced across the US in several newspapers before this election to “keep an eye on the prize”. Mr. Obama had to denounce his religious pastor but notice he did not denounce the philosophy of his church. Obama has and still does believe in “black supremacy”. If you listen you can hear the steady drumbeats.

pt,
the primary results speak for themselves. The true far left liberal race baiter that is Obama emerged. He would lose badly in Iowa if people knew then what they know now.

Hillary told everyone she had to win TX by a landslide to WRIGHT her campaign. She didn't do it. The handwriting has been on the wall for months now.

Looks like Hillary's Hardcore fans are gonna be Dead Enders to the BITTER end.

But are they gonna stop acting like wingnuts any time soon?

Obama can't win there are not enough young people to put him over the top in the GE just like old people kept Ronnie in there are enough to put McCain in.

Stanley

One thing that keeps coming back to me when thinking about the Hillary campaign is the Kubler-Ross Model of the Five Stages of Grief in response to a tragic situation. In the current instance it is the death throws of the Clinton campaign.

The stages are in this order:

* Denial - Hillary can't lose!
* Anger - Shame on you. Shame on you Barack Obama!
* Bargaining - If we can just win landslides in every state from here on out.... also Michigan! & Florida!
* Depression - We are dooooomed. McCain will win. I want MY party back, this ain't fair.
* Acceptance - oh well, hopefully there's still 2012

It seems to be getting closer to stage 5 with every day with most Dead Enders.

Where are you?

So he can not take Hillary as VP, she would destroy him just because. I am not sure I would vote if she was on that ticket. She is everything he is against and more, I do not see how anyone does not see that. So lets not even go there.

Hillary needs to step down now, she had to loan herself 6 million last month, her people did not even fund her, so you guys must not really believe in her.

If she stays in she will cause more problems we do not need. Now is the time that all Supers need to stop this madness and save Hillary some money.

It is so refreshing to see a guy that doesn't stoop to negative campaigning. It's so great to see a guy that took a job in Chicago instead of going for the big money because it was the right thing to do. People need to see that Obama is sincere, honest, and will make this country Proud again to talk about their president. Yes We Can! Obama 2008!

I overhear so many blacks saying things to the tune of "This is our last chance. I may never see a black president in office during my lifetime"

This truly displays a lack of self empowerment. We will be living Martin Luther King's "dream" when we realize that we don't need someone in office who looks like us in order to feel victorious. I do not identify with Obama's platform. His being black like me has no bearing on my decision. What good would it do for me to have a so called "brutha" in office if he is not performing in a way that I feel benefits my country.

This "eyes on the prize" rhetoric needs to be retooled. It is not 1968 and blacks have changed a lot since then. If you feel marginalized as a person. I hate to break it to you when I say that Obama will have little if any effect on improving your condition. Blacks have been waiting for this 'messiah" for decades now. Obama comes from the same Ivy League background as the white candidates. He plays the game. Jesse Jackson did not have the same background and is rooted in old Dr. King alliances and was not very good at playing that game. I respect a man who is his own person and that is not a criticism of Jackson, what it should say to all blacks is that if you pay your dues, play the game and get an education, are suck-up savvy, you too can run for president. Obama is black but there is not much different in his fabric than any other candidate.

Life long dem here. Will never vote Obama. Will sit out or vote McCain, especially if he moves more to the middle. Signed up at his web site already.

And to Mr. John. Your accusation that I am not voting for Obama because I feel that as a black person, if I feel that I cannot win, then why should I vote for Obama is utterly absurd. The last time I checked I had no desire to run for office local or national. Now you are playing the "black on black" jealousy card. What John, are you afraid I am going to sneak around and pour sugar in Obama's car engine just like the ol' days and kick it old school with my hater friends? Is Obama the guy with the basketball scholarship and I am the girl with 4 illegitimate kids hanging around my neck waiting for me to cook Beanie Wienies?

I am a woman so I could feel the same way about Hillary Clinton or any other candidate that I share commonalities with. "I can't be woman president so why should I vote for Hillary?" That is absurd.

You Obama supporters just can't let go of the fact that people have minds of their own and that it is not about race.

What numbers? Obama doesn't have the required number and can't get there either. The nominee should be elected on the basis of experience and character at the convention. We don't want to shortcircuit the process.

@ Samantha: I agree completely. Great points.

@ staniam, geevill, Bishop:

Like you, I will never vote for Obama, and it has nothing to do with sour grapes. My vote will be based on support for someone with integrity, experience , and honor. Obama has never possessed any of these qualities. I will also never vote for someone who delivers speeches about inclusion, but has never practiced it.

Are Hillary supporters disappointed? Yes, we are, but that doesn't mean that we'll suddenly abandon our principles and swing our support to Obama. It has nothing to do with being punitive. It has everything to do with our integrity and commitment to remain true to what we believe in. We don't believe in Obama, nor do we believe he will change our country for the better. Many of us firmly believe quite the opposite will happen.

As for writing Hillary's name in, that won't help much, unfortunately. To stop Obama I will vote for McCain. As a life long democrat, I will vote for McCain because he does have integrity and honor, Obama doesn't.

Put out the lights, the Party's Over!
Hillary it's time to Go Home and take
Bill with you!

There is something fishy in Tuna Town.

First, Gary, Ind didn't start reporting votes until AFTER the paper deadline was passed for the night. I watched the interview on CNN and he was UNABLE to explain this. He was an Obama supporter. Bob Beckle called the mayor and asked why the votes weren't coming in,and the mayor stated how many votes do you want? This is an old style chicago trick to keep one county out and make up the difference with phoney votes.

Second, those polls conducted on the NC race that showed the votes tightening. I'd like to analyze the pollsters. I bet they were Obama supporters deliberately showing the race tightening...so they could seem as if their candidate was doing better than expected on election night. WIth the overwhelming percentage of black voters in NC it was impossible for Hillary Clinton to be polling within 5 percentage points!

Why is there no reporting on these aspects of the campaign?

The Obama people will stop at NOTHING!

Clinton supporters will stop Obama in the general.

OH YES WE WILL!

Obama has real fuzzy math and lack of integrity for a man who supported voting rights in Chicago..Why disenfranchise MILLIONS of Florida and Michigan DEMOCTRATIC voters...let them re-vote NOW. Call the Obama campaign and demand the re-votes!!
