Let's be gracious winers and give the Clinton camp and all their supporters the due respect they deserve. Hillary Clinton has fought a hard race and she would have been, in any other election cycle, an amazing president if not for the unexpected inspirational candidate that Barack Obama has turned out to be. It's time to put away our differences and come together to correct the damage that the Bush administration has inflicted on the US. We can only accomplish this together. I know we can.

Just wanted to go on the record:

Obama/Clinton would NOT be practical for the work that must be done once the GE is over.

The new president will need to be focused on coalitions and compromise, and unfortunately, this is not a given Clinton strong suit.

There are plenty of strong potential VP candidates around who would fit the Obama Program and be able to immediately reach out across divides and speed the process.

In all fairness, we should allow the presumptive nominee to make this decision based upon his perception of what is best for the ticket, AND the Term of Service! Let him continue to build a well-oiled machine to move us forward. He has shown that he is up to the task!

It's simple. It's over.

Hillary is just like one of the guests on your party who would not leave even after you start cleaning up.

Sen.Obama definetly hit his stride last night. His speech was superb. He looked and sounded very Presidential. Supers, let's wrap this up.

We will come together, even those who don't want to.

Do you know why?

Because, Obama said to tell the truth.

The truth is we are all part of this great land--no matter our individual opinions and prejudices. Like the man said, "I am imperfect."

But he is right, people, it is not about Obama, Clinton, or MCCAIN.

The real question is do we want to continue the war in IRAQ? With more dead and wounded.

Do we want to reward the rich and pull every spare dime there is out of the poor and middle class? (more Bush)

Do we want health care for all--or should we let, at least some of them, die in the streets?

What do we, the people, want?

Go ahead, you narrow minded individuals, go ahead and jump ship. Cut of your head to cure your headache--yes, that will make you feel better (or bitter) However, in the end you are only acting in a self-destructive way.

Surely, if Hillary had won, I would want her policy--not McCains! It doesn't matter that I find Hillary completely repulsive, and dishonest. Her policies are sound, and they are very close to Obama's, and they well help Americans! And they will help my friends, the soldiers! And they will help us all!
Those Policies will help our education and our economy. Those policies will determine and define all of us.

The rich, are rich for a reason. Special interest lobby for a reason. Politicians accept money from special interests for a reason! Obama's policies, the same in many ways as Clinton's policies, are this contry's great chance to change the course of our dependence on oil, on special interest, and on dirty politics in general. It's time to have a little discipline and not act like a spoiled brat.

It is time to come together as Democrats!

Republicans: Beware!

******Superdelegates--announce NOW.

******MSNBC--'Stay on' the Clinton story until she's really gone. Nothing should go under the radar while she's still calling herself a candidate and attacking her opponent.

Lisa, New Britain, CT...Baracking the Vote! — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:33:54 GMT

My prediction is the next couple of weeks will say much more about Clinton than about Obama. While some may say that's bad, given that we should be hearing more about the presumptive nominee, I think Obama has been the one who's been consistent whereas what have we really learned about who Hillary is since this campaign began... This is her opportunity to show the person behind the fighter, what kind of person is she really. I, for one, will be eager to see.

My support for Obama has never wavered and I suspect it will never waver...but that's not to say that I'm not eager for Clinton to show me more about who she really is...I suspect she still has a great future ahead in politics and I hope she continues to show us she can move ahead with us in a positive manner. (That may sound more padantic then I intended, I just mean that I would like to see more of her positive side.)

I truly want to reach out to all Clinton supporters. As a DEMOCRAT first, and an Obama supporter second, this country truly needs a new direction in politics. Now, I know there will be those who will absolutely not vote for Obama, but then there are those who want a Democrat as the next President; like myself. Do what is right for the country, put aside all the hate that has built up over the past couple of months and think about your future, and that of your children/grandchildren. Remember, a vote for McCain is a vote for another 4 years of the HELL this country has faced under George W. Bush, and 4 more years our service men and women will be in Iraq with no exit strategy. Lastly, we are AMERICANS before anything else.

Sick of corruption, sick of the Clintons — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:35:17 GMT

Janet Napolitano would be an excellent choice for Obama's running mate. I wonder if that would make the Clinton supporters happy. They are obviously committed to seeing a female president, and they are so desperate for this to happen, that they are willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel and settle for Hillary Clinton. Napolitano would be a much better choice. She is a person of integrity. Hillary Clinton needs a dictionary when someone mentions the word integrity.

Obama in 2008. Integrity matters and the Clintons have none.

SD's...please hear our plea and come out TODAY with your support and endorsement of our nominee, Barack Obama. We can't afford to keep giving John McCain more lead time in this crucial Presidential race. I am sure Obama will offer some form of an olive-branch to Clinton and her supporters. We need to unite NOW and go after our common goal to win in November. No more of this wait and watch. We know how it will end. Let's show the Republican party that we can unite just as quickly as they can!

Clinton supporters we need your help!

The pressure from super delegates will increase. The fact that she does not win ANYTHING even if MI and FL are included means no other legal way will work.

With McCain and Obama now beginning the struggle to close ranks and unify their respective parties, who will win the holdouts?

I wish Obama the best, but I don't want his policies for this country. The rest of the world is coming into their own and the "second" and "thrid" world labels will be coming off soon (if they aren't off already). As we know, NOBODY repects a loser. Now some may argue that we have already lost in Iraq based on the difficulty of quelling the insurgency.

I respectfully disagreee. So does President McCain. Ducking your tail and running is un-American. I want my friends in Iraq coming home to hear Well Done, You Fought Hard and Won.

If only Democrats had the fight that McCain has. The MSM called your primary process a fight, I call it a patty cake contest. Welcome to the big leagues. You don't know what tough is, yet.

Anyone calling for our soldiers to come home in shame deserves to lose. And I will make sure they do.

Barack has really proven himself to be resilient and electable. I was very proud of him last night. He took a very appropriate tone for this moment. Hillary could go a long ways toward erasing the negatives that she has created for herself by being gracious and acknowledging that she has fallen short, and supporting Obama. If she continues to try to damage him now, you really have to question her motives.

Let everyone and every state have a voice Janet.

You are the typical Obama surrogate. No re-vote to MI and FL voters. No voice from WV next week, and no voice from KY and OR in two weeks.

Go Hillary.
