Hundreds? Thousands?

Can't we tell the difference?

Hillary and her campaign should know that loosers quit, why is she making it so much of a big deal, the rules of the DNC say who looses, supports the Winner, so she will want to make it a whole great occasion, she should be ashammed of it herself. She lost it woefully and does she want to be asked upon her support, sad from her and her crying women.

Hillary didn't lose. She won much. Obama won the nomination but it wasn't because people didn't want Hlllary, they simply preferred Obama. Hillary truly made a place in history. Perhaps the only reason at some point the media had th need to cut her off and not be responsive to her was that she was just throwing so much nonsense out trying to get the media to bite on something so she could take the control of the campaign. It was a true problem and each time Hillary did it at Obama's expense it shot her in the foot - see Indiana. That was the last time I think the media wanted to bite on anything she said. It was unfortunate that she found the person the people wanted so late in the game. She is lucky to have such devoted followings of people. She will take that with her the rest of her life and she grew a lot from this campaign if you look at the beginning and the end. I believe in the end, she truly began to see the people she found as her supporters. She went to their homes, she ate with them, and I think it humbled her.

Finally, it's over. I started out liking her, she was a woman. But once she faced the crucible, her true self emerged from the mask, and what came out was deplorable. I can never look at her the same way. I wish her well, but if a never see her again in life it is fine.

Right folks - Obama isn't experienced enough to be a candidate, but he sure took down the whole Democratic corrupt Clintonian political machinery didn't he? That is the weakest argument I have ever seen in print for not voting for Obama.

This speech sounds like Tuesday night's speech.
Where the hell is the concession??
All she's doing is rehashing how she's the better candidate.

If anyone doubted, this is a great example of why Hillary Clinton lost the nomination, by putting herself ahead of the Party.
Instead of singing his praises, she first fired up the crowd about her campaign, then she endorses him, amid boos and cheers.

Pathetic and ridiculous.

Just a little tired of Obama's supposed "lack of experience" .

He has 11 years of elected service. The same amount Bill Clinton had before becoming president. Didn't stop us from rallying around Hillary's husband in '92, did it?

People, people. Where is the compassion. I have been an Obama supporter before 2004 and am a 58 year old white woman. I thought this was a great speech. She did an amazing job. Does any of us average plodders know how grueling it is to campaign? And yes she is a human being with feelings. Give her some time and space. Thank you Hillary for being part of this historic campaign. On to the White House together!

I think Sen. Clinton did an excellent job with this speech. I've been an Obama supporter from the get-go, but if the situation was the reverse, I would be firmly in her camp.

We've got to drive the Republicans into minority status. Maybe, although I doubt it, they'll actually realize that we have to govern cooperatively. They talk a big game, but they typically show their asses every time they get asked to play fairly.

Re: experience - Hillary has had only 2 more years experience in elected office than Obama. Obama has had the same amount of national elected experience as Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln mostly worked in the state senate like Obama. I believe John F. Kennedy only had two years more senatorial experience than Obama.
Obama's wisdom is what we need combined with his experience. He not only voted correctly and bravely to not go to war in Iraq, but he showed in the past year that he has excellent executive powers - he knows how to pick the right advisors who got him to where he is today. Unlike Hillary's team, his team was known for its unity even when they disagreed or when things went wrong.
Whereas Hillary's team had significant shuffling around and dissention. This is what we will see in the Obama White House - good advisors from the Clinton Era (they are already advising him) and elsewhere, reasonable unity without the dangers of extreme loyalty (bush's flaw with Rumsfeld,etc), and a brilliant mind making sound judgements for the nation.
Will he make mistakes? Probably - he has said so, but we will have a country moving into the future dealing with economic and foreign crises that do not reflect the tired Bush, Cheney, and neoconservative ideologies - many of which Mccain adheres to. We now have an opportunity, not seen in decades, to reshape foreign policy, improve educaation, guarantee healthcare in a fair way for all, economic policies that help the middle class and not just the rich. Aggressive alternative energy research and production. Do you really think this will happen under McCain?
Those who are concerned about Obama's experience - please inform yourselves using respectable research. The same old same old, with only a little variation is not what will get this country back on it's feet.
We have a chance for another John Kennedy & Bill Clinton Era in economic recovery, sound foreign policy, and modernization of our country. This can best happen with the energy, intelligence, and perserverance of Barak Obama.

Thanks to Sen. Clinton and her supporters. Now we can all step forward and not be Hillary or Obama supporters...but all be DEMOCRATS again, and let the republican's know that there time is up!

Yes We Can

Too little, too late. The time to graciously concede was FOUR DAYS AGO. Instead, all she did then was talk about HERSELF.

I've seen, and heard, all I ever care to of Hillary Clinton.

I have been a very big critic of HRC. However, today she did do a good job. The only issue I have is that she didn't concede, but suspended her campaign. I do not want her to have the glory at the convention. Obama missed a very important week for him that the press would of devoted to him, and good PR. People would have gotten to know him, however, all they heard was Hillary. I feel that her job now is to go out and campaign for him, however, it really has to be about him, not her. He is the star, not the Clinton's.

The fight shall continue. We shall never let those BO vipers have the last laugh.
It is personal because they made it so.

We shall make them weep and sink the undemocratic party. We shall turn the table on those eccentric party pundits. It is the people not the party on top. We shall let our vote count. In November, we won't be silenced and our votes shall count more when it is against the undemocratic party. We can see it coming; the sinking of BO and their vipers.

Nobama ever and ever after.

I voted for Hillary at primary, but she is not going to tell me who to vote from now. Hillary does not have 18 million people supporting her ANYMORE once the nominee has surfaced. Those 18 million, myself included, will split into Obama and John McCain supporters. She does not have "troops" like military, and it's very sad that she fails to understand it.

We do not vote on speeches. or teleprompter experts.

McCain it is (unless Clinton resumes her campaign like Perot did)

We should all sing his praises,we are a family now in his mouse trap.

Yes, mouse trap it is and I want no part of this trap. I would rather support McCain! Big not to singing his praises. Nothing that he an offer other than the ability to read speeches off the teleprompter!

The reason Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama is because they are embarrassed of him,his life, his unfair tactics and his beliefs. And they still don't know all about him.

They don't want a candidate that has been in a relationship with Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.

They don't want to defend Black Liberation theology.

They don't want a candidate that could work with a domestic terrorist, William Ayers.

They dont' want a candidate that didn't stand up for the voters of Michigan and Florida.

They don't want a candidate that is inexperienced.

They dont' want a candidate named; Barack Hussein Obama

He scares them to death.
He is embarrassing.

Is it just me, or was there something strange about Hillary's concession speech?

Sure, all the media is praising her speech at "hitting all the right notes" but there was a definite air of sarcasm about it. She spent a long time praising herself and her campaign's accomplishments. And then very abruptly, said "this is now why I'm supporting Barrack Obama" right out of left field. There was no transition or leading up to her statement of support of Obama, which is why it didn't have much of an effect, even eliciting many boos.

And when Hillary later went on to itemize her reasons one at a time, and say "this is why we need to elect Barrack Obama" where previously in her campaign those reason's were to tell people why NOT to elect Obama, it seemed quite strange. This is why the applause got less and less with each statement. It had the effect of showing the non-support of Obama in the crowd.

She then went on to follow the critic's recommendations of taking advantage of the gender card and saying at how this was a victory for women. When you could see by the faces of many in the crowd that this was not a victory, it was a defeat, rubbing more salt into the wound. I think this was intended, to remind women that they lost because Hillary did not win.

There was hardly any mention of the Democratic party values, or a rallying cry against McCain. Hillary focused solely on "Yes We Can" and "Elect Barack Obama" to a crowd of supporters who were obviously not going to share those sentiments. It seemed almost like a shotgun confession, contrived, forced. Although Hillary is very skillful in crafting the speech to be totally genuine while having a totally different effect subconsciously.

This is similar to her tactics in referencing the campaign going into June, and the assasination of RFK, and also her mentioning that white white hard working whites like her.(but don't like Obama by inference) To which she always falls back on the excuse, "oh well I never actually implied anything by that, and I'm sorry that YOU felt offended by that."

It's just more of the same craftiness and deceit that turns people off to Hillary and the Clintons in the first place. Smarter people can tell. The drones turn a deaf ear.
