How can he be the "nominee" until there is a nomination? There will be no nominee until the convention because no candidate got enough pledged delegated.
yeah, that's right superdelegates are not pledged to a candidate and need to vote.

Let Him do that he is not the nominee he has 1740 to her 1625 they are 115 delegates apart he will look like the --- he is. I will never vote for him ever it is to bad he coulndn't wait with all that has gone on in this race and oh by the way 55 of his delegates plus all the Afirmative action were taken from Hillary.

Let's face it. This has been a very close race. There is no clear favourite among the electorates with both Clinton and Obama holding on to their own constituencies.

Why not work out a compromise - a shared ticket. 2 years of Presidency for Obama and 2 years for Clinton. Would be a win-win situation for everybody and if the Democrats are really interested in bringing change there is no better way to do it other than sharing the presidency with 2 historic candidates at this vital moment in history.

Might be little difficult for the egos of each side to take. But this would be a real path breaker. Why not give this a thought.

Fox News has just announced that the AP is reporting that Barack has clinched the Dem nomination.

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

uho...My feelings as well. Where the hell is Rev.Wright when you need him and where is the new Michelle tape?

Seriously though, I can;t and won't vote for him with a clear conscience. Not that my vote matters anyway, the DNC and superdelegates took care of that.

He does not have the "magic" number!

A pox on his MATH!

I declare Mickey Mouse the nominee.I see mickey as the better candidate BO is a fraud!
The convention, we are going to the convention.
How dare he give this to McCain, we are never voting for BO. NEVER!

Michelle Obama has been specifically kept out of the news. Its almost as though Obama is a bachellor.

She has been pushed under the carpet ever since the rev wright story.

Im sure Obama will be magnanomous and I am becoming fairly sure he picks Clinton to be his running mate.

do you all realize that if Bill Clinton's opponents had the millions that Hillary has they could have loaned there campaign money and Bob Kerrey had a great chance at winning... he could have gone on even with what they had...but all the serious caniddates running did not want to see that kind of drag out race because history had shown what it does to a party.

Bill only won because Perot took 19% of the fiscal conservatives votes predominantly from Bush.

If the candidates against Bill had fought on and were less of great Americans by doing so... by putting their own candidacy ahead of the issues at stake...Bill Clinton would not have won.

but selective memories work for those who are wrapped up in blind faith in one candidate.

They all know these stats and they don't care.

and yes they dropped out months before Hillary has...and probably could have either beaten or tied Bill with all the "scandals" that came up during that primary.
Bob Kerrey was still favored in most of the states that were left to go in the 92 primary...but there is something more important than one individual.

Could he possibly be announcing ahead of time because he knows that Montana and SD are going to be closer than originally thought? If so, he is going to look like an even bigger jerk than he already is.

TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION, HILLARY!

The water is under the doors. All towels are wet now. 33 delegates left to clinch the nomination. We are moving slowly, slowly by the hour. We will reach the destination tonight, god willing!

In Hillary's own words:

"My husband didn't win the nomination until June."
- Hillary Clinton 05/08

That was WELL before the convention that Bill WON the nomination. Hillary isn't lying again is she?

He always looks and acts like a fool. He will be made to look foolish as he will lose the GE and the DNC will be shocked at the seats they LOSE in the house and senate.

Its time the super delegates get off their "butts" and get their endorsements in.............Let's end this circus and get on to beat McBush!!

"I plan to campaign hard through February. As you know, it's the delegates who chose our nominee. I plan to have the majority of pledged delegates by the end of the races in February"
-Hillary Clinton 12/07

Seems like Hillary understood the process at one point in her campaign

as someone else pointed out bill cinton didnt wrap up the nomination until sometime in june

that someone was hillary clinton

so tell me if you have to go to the convention how did bill win the nomination?

im sorry bishop and geevil you guys are wrong hes 30 delegates away

hp boston if by "we" you mean "I"

yeah you might never vote for him...but most Hillary supporters are normal caring Americans who worry about their kids and the future of the country and what this road has done to us and their future...

Most hillary supporters (I would say almost all) are great , hopeful, thoughtful, patriotic Americans... who see what a McCain Presidency promises.

They don't act like 5th graders and say Obama is evil because he beat our friend Hillary and he shouldn't be President because of that.

That's dumb.

Obama has shown and promised many things... no one has shown a man who hasn't worked tirelessly to fulfill the promises he has made...or a man who puts everyday factory workers...ie Americans...ahead of his over-deserved career or his own advancement.

No matter how you want to blether the opposite...you can't show anything that says otherwise.

sorry but the bottom line is ...his life shows a man who has consistently tried to put his money where his mouth is.

Another typical boneheaded move by one who constantly makes boneheaded mistakes.

Michelle Obama has been specifically kept out of the news. Its almost as though Obama is a bachellor.

And where is Cindy McCain?????

Neither is running for office as far as I can tell. Only Hillary thought the first lady was running the country.

@dl - Nope, hp boston was correct. It is "we" as in millions of Hillary Supporters. Don't get it twisted because you think we should follow the party line...
