Be patient! The race is over.

They're just letting things wind down for the sake of unity.

I can't wait to have a President that isn't a doofus. This country deserves the rock star quality, sharp intellect and accomplished skill set of Barack Obama--we're just so much better as a nation than our current leadership projects.

Sounds very interesting. I guess that it would be hard to be suddenly into this after a lifetime of anonminity. I think he will handle this very well. Good luck Obama!

Senator Clinton & Chelsea were heckled & booed in West Virginia today. How much longer is President Clinton going to allow her to be humiliated before he tells her that it is over. I hope it is soon so she can preserve her dignity.

White voter in SD moving to Obama June 3! — Thu, 08 May 2008 19:31:28 GMT

Hillary Clinton announced today the "white voters are moving away from Obama"--Apparently she feels racism is alive and well in this great country of ours. I'm white and I'm offended. If the supers aren't offended they should be ashamed of themselves. When AA vote for Obama I've never heard him say the AA will never vote for a white candidate. She disgusts me!

Thank you First Read for always providing a variety of perspectives on the political campaign. Between you and Roland Martin from CNN, you have always shown a more objective view on the issues. I always look forward to read your articles.

I'm sure the Japanese supporter wanted a report for Obama, Japan!!! ::smile::

I have to confess, its too hard to follow all the superdelegate comings and goings now. I am going to try and just trust that the process will shine favor on the candidates who has followed the rules and who has won the most pledged delegates and who has shown strength on the other metrics too.

And I'm going to trust that in November we will place in office a candidate who embodies true change in bringing this country forward.

Obama for our best future.

[[ This country deserves the rock star quality, sharp intellect and accomplished skill set ]]

In many ways, this country does deserve it. While you're at it, could you list Baracks' accomplishments? Shouldn't take long, at last count, he's firmly stuck on zero.

And as far as haiving a rock star as president, maybe we should just swear in the winner of American Idol. He/she probably would have as much going for them as Obama does. Probably more.

Again, how can Hillary expect the voter's in the re-
maining states vote for her when there is no way
logically, mathematically or realistically for her
to win the Dem nomination. The numbers speak for them
selves. There is not enough delegates left for Hill-
ary to catch Barack.

If Hillary endorses Barack, soon, she will save some
of her reputation.

Hillary's "GRAND THEFT" by MANIPULATION of the RULES ... — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:02:16 GMT

The DNC’s ‘Rules Committee’ offers Hillary a significant advantage --- 13 of its members have openly endorsed her, and just 8 are declared Obama backers.

FACT: (A Committee Chairman is Alexis M. Herman, Labor secretary under President Clinton; another is Harold Ickes, the top advisor to Hillary’s campaign in charge of stealing superdelegates; and another is from the Michigan DNC.)

The ‘Rules Committee’ has wide latitude concerning Florida and Michigan. It could uphold the rules and punishment it and both candidates agreed to initially, or it could --- seat the entire delegation from each state, split the delegations in half, or even seat all of the super delegates but only some of the elected delegates.

This is the REAL REASON Hillary is staying in the race. Hillary fully expects that the ‘Rules Committee’ with its almost 2-to-1 ratio of declared Hillary-to-Obama supporters will go along with whatever she wants regarding Florida & Michigan delegates. She believes, and probably rightly so, that the ‘Rules Committee’ will seat as many of the delegates from Florida & Michigan as Hillary needs to obtain the 2025 delegates needed to win the nomination.

IT WILL be GRAND THEFT by MANIPULATION of the RULES COMMITTEE.

Obama CAMPAIGN in WV if you do not Hillary wins the perception arguement. She is not gstting out you will have to force her out. To do this you need to appeal the the WV voters. If not Hillary still may pull this off. DO NOT LET HER DO IT.

Nora o'donnell called Hillary the first credible woman ...Credible to me and most people would mean honorable, truthful, much integrity....I am afraid Nora misspoke when refering to Hillary with the word "credible"....I am also surprised that the media did not pick up on Bill Clinton commuting the sentence of many of the group called "the weathermen".
Let's get it together...do we really want a liar, true elitist, and someone that has already offended some in the mideast running this country...I am a white 58 year old woman, voting for Obama..angela

Senator Clinton
As an ardent supporter of yours and one who will continue to support you until all votes are counted, I would ask the following:
As unfortunate as it is, it does not appear that you will not emerge as our nominee---that is so unfortunate. It appears that the superdelegates will refuse to see the obvious---that you are the only one who is able to beat Senator McCain in Nov. I know you are a party loyalist; however this election in my opinion has been stolen from you. Stolen by the African American vote (91 %--that is not only absurd but awfully ungrateful to all that your husband worked for over his 8 years in office), college elitists who think that life in just one big party, and affluent liberals. These groups do not represent the core democratic party, nor what it stands for. Change for the sake of change, as the Obama supporters chant is not change. He does not have the experience in neither economic nor international affairs to turn this country around. He will owe many favors to those in the party that have supported him, and they have their own agendas, so there will be little agreement on how to go forward to mead this country. He talks about uniting the party---he will divide the party, and the Republicans will block the changes that are desperately needed. You were our best hope for change.
My guess would be that should he become the nominee, you will ask all of us who support you, to unite with him. With all due respect Senator Clinton, I and I believe many others, even after your request will not do this. I will not take a chance with yet another inexperienced politician who promises change but has no record of accomplishing it. Senator Obama has not earned my respect and he has not earned my vote. You know Senator McCain, you have worked with him for many years. He “may” offer some real solutions to solve our problems---he is not George Bush. I will listen to Senator McCains ideas, and if I am not satisfied with his ideas, I will simply not vote---it is my right to do so, and I will exercise that right.
So my request would be, that should you lose the nomination, acknowledge the result with the dignity that you have always shown and head back to the Senate to complete your term, not run for re-election and do your great work outside of politics.

Does Hillary really want to be president to help the country? Or is she just a poor looser? I heard her say she thinks she is a better cannidate than the other 2, but from the looks of if the Dems don't agree, she is loosing by more than 8 states, popular vote, and deligates..she needs to give it a rest with the swing state crap! Does she really believe that people are really listening to her argument? She is making the Clinton's and Bill look realy bad...it's like she is begging! If it was not for a Republican Radio host. trying to cause problems by sending fellow republicans out to vote in the state she did win IN. which 7% of her vote was republican, she would have lost that one too.

I desperately want a real interview, instead of the usual media hype-questions--the American people do not want their news to be like the Enquirer. What ever happened to people like Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite,and Dan Rather? They should be the current reporters' idols, but we see no integrity like that of these people anymore.
