This is what really gets my blood boiling. NEWSFLASH!!! Hillary LOST. The individuals she had running her campaign LOST. She knew she was going to lose a long time ago, but instead of conceding, she led her supporters to believe that she would. And now everyone wants blame Barack for Hillary's LOSS. The primaries are one thing. That has been completed. Now we are entering into the general election and it is time for folks to FALL IN LINE. Stand up/behind for your party and stop acting like BABIES. Although I did not vote for Hillary (I was actually hoping Edwards was still in the running), but if she had won the majority of the delegates (she didnt) and won against Barack (she didnt) I would be supporting her just like I am supporting Obama. Besides, I would like to see Hillary on the supreme court. Barack has other things planned for her. She will be on his team, just not the way that you wanted her to be.

Jeff B.; Oregon, IL — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:24:55 GMT

With all the discussion about Barack Obama's "inexperience" I can think of two arguments that have not been made.

First, he was a state senator with numerous accomplishments as well as the ones made as a freshman U.S. Senator. How is it that a govenor's experience with state government counts toward being president but a state senator's does not?

He has a lifetime labor voting record of over 90% as well. Why more blue collar workers aren't flocking to Obama's bandwagon is beyond me. He has much more hands on experience of working with union members and other working class people than Hillary Clinton did, yet she seemed to get more support from that genre. I know that many unions will be informing their members about his record in the coming months, but the general public needs to hear about Obama's record on fighting for the working class.

Second, there is at least one U.S. president who had even less experience than Barack when he was elected -- Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln served one term -- for two years -- as a congressman. Like Obama he spent some time in the Illinois legislature, but then he lost two races for the U.S. Senate before winning the presidency. Maybe this Lincoln connection was discussed and dismissed for being too precocious, but I think it would not hurt for the general public to know how much experience Lincoln actually had before becoming the greatest president in U.S. history.

could you post my comment, please? I want to publicly acknowledge Senator Clinton's support and efforts.

I am looking forward to seeing Senator Hillary Clinton show just what a great speaker and great Democrat she is. I don't think we can know what it's like to have fought such a hard Primary battle...

John McCain would like nothing better than to fan the flames of anti-unity... We are SMARTER than that and you can be damn sure HRC is smarter than John McCain.

She will be magnificent, no matter HOW the media and the Republicans try to tear her every action, word and look apart. She will stand up and say "I'm Hillary Clinton, I endorse Barack Obama and I do NOT support John McCain's message" and that, as they say, will be that.

No matter who you worked to support in the Primary, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want the same thing -- a better, safer, healthier, more well off America. John McCain is just four more years of the same AND WORSE. He will stack the Supreme Court with right-wing republican judges who will strike down Roe v. Wade, support torture, support taking away our civil liberties and give the government all the power BIG BROTHER needs to keep track of you.

We don't need that. We need healthcare, a better economy, more jobs, a REAL energy policy... and an America that the world believes in again.

I wrote my local media to THANK Hillary Clinton for her awesome support using the media tools on the my.BarackObama.com website :

http://my.barackobama.com/keepingtrack

These tools will help you write your local media to expose John McCain or... as I did, to thank Hillary Clinton for her support.

Finally... wasn't Ted Kennedy just the person to rally the Convention? Thank you, sir! I was misty-eyed. And what about that Michelle Obama and those cute, cute girls? You cannot script such love and family.

This is why I support Barack Obama. Family, Country, Service that is real... NOT just something done 40 years ago, but every day. Civil, Respectful, and yes, different.

It's TIME for DIFFERENT. We've had the SAME for too many years.

----------------------------------------------------

Senator Clinton is not the only one to see a campaign for the Presidency end in heartbreak. Can you say Al Gore? To lose in the way he did,(after coming so much closer to winning than Senator Clinton did) could not have been easy to accept, but he went on with his life. Senator Clinton and her supporters could learn from him and from Senator Kennedy.

It's sad, really, that there are people who allow themselves to be deluded by right-wing lies. The VAST majority of the noise made by the so-called "PUMAs" is just a Republican front, paying for and organizing events (like this one).

It's the Big Lie: Repeat it often enough, and suddenly it becomes a "fact" that there are all these outraged Clinton supporters who are voting for McCain, when in fact they are a fringe minority that was never a core constituency in the Democratic Party.

It's a farce.

It's a lie.

And some are so busy feeling sorry for themselves that they allow the delusion to overcome them.

And you guys in the mainstream media aren't helping one damned bit, you know. You repeat the absurd lies even as you correct them ... but simply *repeating* them gives them a pseudo-validity born of familiarity:

Besides, you guys have really, really embarrassed yourselves, and I hope that after this election cycle you'll catch on to how you've been played for fools. The PUMAs were *never* a real phenominon -- they were sock puppets on blog comments and Republican shill websites. Those of us who grew up in this world can sniff it out immediately, but somehow you guys who grew up in the network news age or cable news age (as opposed to the internet news age) haven't been able to catch on.

Eric, Salinas, CA — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 23:36:13 GMT

Get a clue bitter little trolls of PUMA, this election isn't about experience, it's about sound judgment. We aren't dazzled by Barack Obama's rock star like instant fame, we're dazzled by a man who has shown he has the qualities to be a great leader, that he has that rare quality to inspire people to work for a better America. Sorry but Hillary lacks that most important quality of being able to inspire so many people of so many diverse backgrounds and most importantly she lacks sound judgment. "Bush Hugger" McCain also lacks that important quality because he's spent a lifetime riding someone else's coattails into everything he's done.

Her kitchen sink strategy was an act of desperation and it backfired on her. She expected to be coronated like some queen and didn't work to win the primaries until it was too late and she had already lost the primary battle by the end of February. Her kitchen sink strategy doomed her for being Obama's running mate as the repugnant ones wanted so much to run against Hillary and Bill's Monicagate legacy.

Barack Obama wasn't given the primary victory nor did he steal it. He worked smart and hard and had the sound judgment to select a winning campaign staff with a winning message of change while Hillary picked a bunch of losers like Mark Penn and Patty Solis Doyle. Patty had absolutely no previous campaign experience and was picked to be the campaign manager soley out of loyalty and that was stupid judgment.

Get over it already and let's get united behind Obama/Biden to take back our democracy from the repugnant ones who are destroying our secular democracy. Hillary has shown sound judgment lately in being a team player and getting behind Obama's candidacy. She has shown real class by agreeing that party unity is more important than petty personal egos by agreeing to cut the roll call vote short.

If Obama loses it will be the fault of Hillary's foolish PUMA supporters who have not shown the class yet to show they're true team players and can put their own petty personal egos aside for the greater good of the party and country. You fools doom Obama now in 2008 then rest assured that we'll ensure she never wins in 2012.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

Get over it -- plain and simple. Why weren't they so outraged at Bill humiliating his wife while he was in office, while she ran for president, and even as she left the race? Really, tamp it down. No one cares about your emotional rant. If you want live in a man's world (like running for president), you gotta play by men's rules. There's no crying in politics -- so grab a kleenex, fix your makeup, and pull yourself together. There's a lot more at stake then your "feelings!"

I just don't get the Obama backlash by some Clinton supporters. Sure, it's heartbreaking when things don't turn out the way you wanted. That's life. But it's maturity that says you accept it and either move on or try again but you don't bash the winner. That's just downright selfish and ugly behavior.

This group says it's historic and they want to be treated with respect but then are so totally disrespectful to the process and acting like spoiled brats. I just can't take them seriously when they say they are treated like second-class citizens when they're acting like no-class citizens.

I am a woman but I vote women's issues not gender. Clinton has shown she's not ready to be a leader, that she's still Bill's husband and he's still calling the shots. That's their real problem, they can't accept that this woman is not the right woman to make history.

Look at Senator Claire McCaskill. Every time I see her I see someone I would point my daughter to as an example, not Hillary Clinton. And there are other outstanding women out there, poised and ready and soon.

The rules were set before the beginning of the election process, and every single candidate agreed to and signed to abide by the rules. When it was realized that Obama was on the way to winning the nomination, the entire Clinton crowd wanted to change the rules mid-election. Obama won by the rules that were agreed to, so why is he blamed for Clinton not winning the nomination just bc she thought she was entitled to it? Obama is not anti-woman, McCain is on abortion and equal pay, so now they want to vote for McCain? Do not elect the wrong person out of spite, put the country before your yourself!

"Actually, Obama won the popular vote by almost every metric, except for the one that counted Hillary Clinton's vote in Michigan, where Obama wasn't on the ballot." "The DNC never named Obama the presumptive nominee; in fact, he won more pledged delegates than Clinton did."

Nice article on clearing the facts. These people are delusional! Accept the fact that Hillary ran a poor race and lost. If she cannot even run a campaign, how could she run the country?? The right person won! Obama ran a clean campaign. Even with the Clinton's throwing the "kitchen sink" at him he won the popular vote and the delegate count. What more do you want??

Go ahead and threaten to vote for McCain and he will take away women's rights, reinstate the draft, continue to give tax breaks to the oil companies, and keep the tax breaks for the rich. If you want 4 more years of a failed ecomony, home forclosures and middle class bankruptcies, and a war in Iran follow through and vote for McCain.

We've seen and heard all about "experience" from the current buffoon in residence and it's led to nothing but war, a poor economy, no corporate oversight, signing statements as a way to avoid abiding by the law, torture, ignoring the Constitution, cries of "national security" and "executive privilege" whenever a cover-up is needed, and a Vice President (supposedly with years of "experience") who has nothing but contempt for open government and democracy.

I don't get why some First Readers have such a problem with Joe Scarbourgh and Pat Buchanan. Personally, I like my ideas challenged and, for the most part when you consider their background, they do a reasonably fair job. Don't get me wrong. I need a strong dose of Olbermann to counter an endless stream of neocon crap. However, it's just as important to try to understand where reasonable people with a different point-of-view are coming from. I also like professionalism. Chris, David, Keith and Joe need to check their gigantic egos at the door.

Why does the press persist in giving these PUMA types a podium? It isn't as if this is truly a big movement and really newsworthy.

Conflict...like sex...sells. No one reports anymore news anymore. And the saddest part is the general public twitters for this garbage like ravenous baby birds clamoring for more and more.

Sure the press is to blame for fanning flames like this. But so are we for indulging them and consuming what they peddle.

75 people, not all of which were actual PUMAs. And, yet, the media has made this THE story of the convention. Aren't you people ashamed of yourselves? You're not journalists; you're village idiots.

Obama is going to tank regardless of Hillary supporters. He isn't going to bring in the independents as easily as he thought. McCain is going to tear him apart in the debates and Biden's mouth is going to run worse than Bill's did during the primaries.

So Hillary supporters don't want to vote for him? So what?

Perhaps the Obama supporters should stop whining about Clinton supporters not wanting to vote for him. It's unbecoming and reflects poorly upon their candidate. More of their energy should be spent convincing their friends and others why to vote for Obama instead of acting like snots on the playground pointing at nerds.

Am I the only one who is surprised that my favorite network-MSNBC-is covering and inserting viewpoints that are more Republican than Democratic? Imagine my surprise when I tuned in today and I got to see Chris Mathews interviewing Mitt Romney, I didn't tune in to watch a Republican-if I wanted his opinion I would tune in to Fox news-come on you guys-you've got Buchannan, Berger and several other devote Republicans covering a Democratic convention-I hope you keep the same ratio of Dems vrs Repo next week you've lost me as a fan?

I guess many of you have forgotten the backroom abortions, girls were dying all over. To vote for John (only POW in American's history) McCain is throwing away a vote. Staying home would be better. GET OVER IT, HILLARY LOST. She didn't take her competition seriously.

The behavior of these self proclaimed Hillary supporters goes beyond being "sore losers." This is our nation at stake in this election, not some silly game where voters can "sit it out" or "vote McCain" when their candidate loses the race. But what more did we expect from the Clintons and the fools who believe their lies and spin.

For as long as America has known the name Clinton it has been a documented and indisputable fact that Hillary Clinton is absolutely the most polarizing individual in modern politics. And it is attitudes like those of her "supporters," who refuse to face the reality that she lost this race by her own incompetence and not some hyped up unfair selection process on the part of the DNC, that perpetuate their own discomfort and may well lead to the downfall of this country should the Democrats not prevail in November.

Obama will work with Democrats, including Hillary, for the same things that you voted for with Hillary.

Unless you were not a Democrats who's voting for equal pay for women, health care, jobs, etc.

Remember, Democrats with as a team!

Keep convincing yourselves that in this year when practically ANY Democrat could have won the WH, yours still will. He's not who the heart of this Party wants.

Let them cry about whatever. I just don't want to hear this idiocy anymore. What PUMAs don't realize is that if Obama loses in November, the 18 million Obama supporters will not vote for Hillary in 2012, and I garantee you that we will have another new candidate that will be more interesting than her. As a matter of fact, in 2004 nobody suspected Obama could even run for the presidency. So, what about Bob Casey in 2012.

I don't understand how the voting process wasn't democratic. More people voted for Obama. That includes a state where he wasn't on the ballot.

Someone please tell me how this election cycle process is Obamas' fault! The same process has been in effect for years, for both Bill Clinton's election, Al Gore's election and Kerry's election. Not until a woman ran for office(don't get me wrong a damn good candiate)and lost was the process flawed. The rules was agreed to by both Hillary and Barack even before the first vote was counted. So please explain to me how you can say Hillary did not get a fair shake?
