Hey Everybody:

Last night was a nail biter

Lenny Davis made negative remarks regarding John King and his magic Map Board.

Burma’s death toll reaches astonishing totals.

More about the Democratic Race

Tonight we’ll see the devastation in Burma and updates from the FLDS sect and who belongs to who…

Let’s get started

Good evening Anderson, Erica and bloggees!

Wasn’t last night insanely exciting. I was up until after the Indiana call (work was hard today). Hope Anderson, Wolf, John and the rest of the team were able to get some sleep last night

Glad to see you are leading off with Myanmar (Burma) tonight. Politics can wait. Lost lives are so much more important.

Hello Anderson, Erica, and bloggers…….
Welcome back Erica!
My hearts go to Burma again…… I can’t wait see the reporter right now……. that is so tragedy for people lost their homes, food, and more thousand people death…….My thoughts and prayer to them.

Hey guys, so how about those results from last night. Excited to hear what you all have to say.

Hey Anderson, Erica, and bloggers, looking forward to the show tonight.

This situation in Burma is just horrible. There really aren’t words.

Anderson, have you gotten visa ok’ed for burma yet?

Hello Y’all

Anderson, Have you gotten your visa yet? Gosh this story is really breakin’ my heart…100.000 lives lost…God Bless Myanmar!!!

Good evening Anderson…Prayers need to be said for the people of Burma…

I hope Anderson gets a visa but if they are not giving visas to aid workers I highly doubt they are going to freely give them to reporters any time soon.

Maybe Bush can get Bush Sr. & Bill Clinton to go on another mission - but this time an emergency diplomatic mission to try to sway the government there to accept more aid & get out of the way.

How can the government in Burma be so insensitive to the disaster facing it’s own citizens?

Hi Anderson,

So sad 100,000 lives lost. I hope you can get a visa. This story is a must to be told.

Anderson - is it even safe for more media to be there? They seem to send soldiers out to patrol the journalists who are already there. Would they even let you cover anything? I don’t know how dangerous their government is.

This needs an international response. An international urging.

EJ:

I like your idea we need to send someone over .

Mike-
I agree, I hear that the government is keeping aid out of the area…how can something like that happen? How can they be so heartless…what harm could be done in letting help in?

there is a ? will Clinton suporters vote for obama in the fall. Well I will not and if you think I am alone wait for the fall and watch a party fall apart. go John McCain i will vote for him !!!!!!!

The government doesn’t want aid workers and especially reporters because they don’t want the world to know what goes on there every day.

I think Hillary should stay in if she wants to. As long as her money holds out and her energy, who are we to say, it’s over.

Anderson?
Are you get visas for Burma???? I agree wth Angel……….. I hope so! Yeah EJ! I agree with EJ too.

Hi…
Anderson , you said in your book that Katrina changed you, if you were to go to Burma & see so much death and devastion how do you think you will be affected? I know your job is your passion, but it seems like carrying the weight of the pain must be too much. I know if you go we will feel like we are all there with you!

The tragedy in Burma is horrible! The map that David put up on the 360 Blog of the U.S. cities with populations of around 100,000 helps put it in perspective.

I’m glad Hillary isn’t quitting. I think it says alot about her character. We need someone to be president who won’t back down as soon as the going gets tough.

Good Evening!!

How can that Burma government be so inhumane? Why are not letting the people in to help. It makes me so sad.

A military government of Myanmar can do anything they want, it might not be the good of the people but again they never did care about them anyway.

The democratic party needs to realize that Sen. Clinton is the better candidate to win in the general election in the fall against John McCain. I believe that we should count the votes of Michigan and Florida for those are the deciding states in the general election and maybe in the democratic primaries. It would be a whole different situation if those votes were in play.

Lori Ann:

She wrote another check to her campaign. I don’t know…it’s gonna be close

HILLARY CLINTON should and WILL continue to run the race…She is a FIGHTER…Its what we need in a PRESIDENT…These PUNDANETS really gets me mad making it like sound like a “FUNERAL” lastnight. Her supporters are STILL Strong and will VOTE for her…I will…NOT SEN OBAMA…He does NOT HAVE 2025.. FL has NOT being counted yet…SHE IS A TRUE FIGHTER

Michael-
Remember these are the same rulers that let Monks get beaten and killed in the streets.

Kenneth–I’m with you–the only way I would vote for Obama is if Hillary was on the ticket.

I hope someone from CNN gets a Visa… it’s a shame that they aren’t accepting help from us…

Anderson ~
I hope you get your visa soon. Be very careful when you go. But the people need you there and so do we. Thanks Anderson.

I’m glad superdelegates also feel a need to see how it plays out. But apparently CNN doesn’t feel the same way with headlines like “Why doesn’t she give up?” I didn’t find that report to be neutral at all, maybe she wants to remain in the running to uh…become the president?

Yes, Hillary, should keep beating that horse

Is there any help at all from the Burma government?

I agree with you Christina…Hillary is a tought cookie. She has some good plans from day one of being Prez.

I’m wondering why so many governments all over the world are so greedy and unconcerned with their people… this is getting worse.

Jeanine-
too true, good point. It just hurts inside to see suffering and help being offered, but refused…not by the people, but by the government.

Good evening Anderson, AC360 staff, and bloggers…

So the gov’t in Burma won’t even let relief workers in. I would think timing would be critical. That is sad that people want to help and can’t.

Anderson I think HRC does not care about the destruction of the party. Her only objective is to get back to the White House and she will do anything to accomplish that end. It is getting sad now that she does not know how to say “enough is enough” and just step aside.

While it is a sign of her strength, it has also contributed to her down fall in her quest.

Will the 47% of Clinton supporters that said they will not vote for Obama stay true to their word? I believe they will unless Hillary Clinton gets behind Obama 10% if he is the nominee. If they since she is not honest, they they hurt his possibility. Is Hillary Clinton that vindictive?

Myanmar…all we can do as a government/nation/world community is offer our help. Keep the spotlight on Myanmar so the world can see what is going on. Perhaps enough pressure from enough sources will allow the doors to open. If not, Myanmar government is shown to be the bully’s they are. Unfortunate beyond words, that their people suffer in the meanwhile.

Why is Hillary Clinton Staying in the race??? Because she is a megalomaniac. She is clearly consumed by the vision of being the first female president of the United States and is apparently wiling to suborn the good of the democratic party and the American people to her personal selfish ends.

I don’t mind the fact that Hillary Clinton has run a very competitive campaign. I do mind the very negative compaign she and her team have been running. I also do not like the frequency with which she does not answer the question asked.

As recently as 3 weeks ago, she called Barack Obama and his team whiners for complaining about her tactics. Tonight she is back to saying that implying that has faced unfair competition.

Dan Rivers has been doing amazing reporting from Burma…..he has really given us a good idea what is happening there

Wasn’t it Hillary who said small states don’t matter. And she marginalized states she didn’t win. But now she wants to make West Va. a big deal. As a citizen of a smaller state I find it amusing. And now I want to hear your commentators ask why Hillary can’t knock out Obama. We had bitter gate and Rev. Wright and she couldn’t knock him out.

I don’t understand that they won’t foreign aid let in Burma……. They are so awful for them…….

Hillary should stay in the race until the very end and i think she should take it to the convention. there is no doubt that she is the stronger one to go against Mc Cain. now one question that comes to my mind is: if Obama had encountered the same money problems that Hillary is having with her Campaign, would he have injected his own money to keep the campaign going?

I think this democratic selection is exciting!!! I am still hoping these two will team up.
Everyone remember that we need a democrat in office this time so let’s all stick together.OK?
For the love of peace~

Hi Anderson,

The bottomline last night: Obama did better than expected. He won North Carolina by double digits, lost Indiana by just a whisker contrary to what polls suggested. To make matters worse for Clinton, this was despite the flap brought about by Wright. She’s simply out of cards to play. It would have been a different story if he won by single digits in North Carolina and lost by more than 5 points in Indiana.

i “Hi…Anderson , you said in your book that Katrina changed you, if you were to go to Burma & see so much death and devastion how do you think you will be affected? I know your job is your passion, but it seems like carrying the weight of the pain must be too much. I know if you go we will feel like we are all there with you!”

Jeanine - that is so sweet how you put that.

The problem is that Clinton cannot keep running, without running against Obama..I mean..the only case she can make is that she is the better candidate ie. better candidate than Obama, which can ONLY hurt him.
So - it’s a tough decision for her, but she needs to do what is right.

The math hasn’t changed in weeks, why is everyone acting like yesterday was some major sign from Heaven?

Daid, with all due respect….all these pundants have not REALIZE 2025 is the MAGIC number…why are you guys not letting the RACE going on? Let it play out…there are VOTERS still need to decide. You guys are PUSHING her out…its NOT your JOB to do it.

I’m feeling such relief to know that this Primary race is basically over. It has been stressing me out. I’m an Obama supporter, so I’m happy now. I’m looking forward to getting to hear Obama speak on his own terms, looking to the future without Hillary biting at his heals. I can’t wait for her to drop out.

How did Dan Rivers even get in to report from Burma? Did he happen to already be there when the storm hit?

I don’t get it. Obama still does not have the number needed. A race isn’t over until you hit the finish line. I’ve never seen a 100 yards dash end at 75 yards. Until someone hits 2025, the race still is on.

It is a sad situation that lifelong Democrats would throw away their vote and vote for the “other” candidate should their candidate not win the nomination. I hope you consider sending one of your children to Iraq while you voting for a Republican.

To me, it appears that Clinton is being selfish - not in it for the american people anymore, but rather for herself.
So help me if Obama puts her on the ticket, thatwould be a disaster and I would vote republican.
We need to get behind Obama and Clinton needs to let go. She had her time in the white house and we need a fresh start.

Sounds to me like this situation in Burma is going the route of Katrina, with no hope of rescuing the homeless people from what seems to be a disaster.

Did I just hear Senator Clinton, just play the woman card again?

I would love to see a story done about cyclones. Not much is really know about them. Maybe something Anderson or Erica could work on

Its ashame everybody know that this nomination is over except Hillary. It seems like her husband should help her ti realize this ever so gently. There is no need in using there personal income to finance this campaign.

Why are we in such a rush? Neither has the numbers. So why not play this all the way out… Till all state have voted?

I’ve seen the statistics reporting the amount of Republicans that have voted for Hillary in the primaries. I see the stat’s reported on the supporters of each camp that will not vote for the other runner.

All well fine and good … as an Independent I won’t vote for one of them either … but where’s the speculation on how many Republicans that are playing in this, “I won’t vote for … ” game?

I am 41 years old African American. I would sit out for the first time ever if Hillary gets it.

Dear Anderson,

It is also being talked about in our community that WE will sit out. We are the working class people and we don’t like the way that these Obama Supporters are telling Hillary and bulling her for 2 months to force her out.

We will sit out. Unless Hillary is the VP.

Hi, everyone — it’s good to be back.

There are efforts uunderway to get more coverage out of Burma, but it is very difficult to get access from the government.

We do have Dan Rivers on the ground there and he has been invaluable. He is really busting his butt, as they say. We’re working to get a signal up with him so stay tuned for a live report in tonight’s show.

Hillary seems to have lost everything including her self respect and can’t face the fact that she has lost

Hey Anderson!!

Bergen on the panel is a wise choice

Let’s just hope this country is not beyond return. I don’t know if any candidate will look very good in the current state of the country or the world.

brian…We need no intern to become Prez of the United States, I want a person that can take McCain in Nov. And still stand like a rock after it’s over.

Michael-
when Anderson posted his blog today, at the end he wrote just the numbers and it stayed with me all day. All i can think of was those numbers of human life lost. I know what you mean, the sadness cannot feel any worse knowing there is help available, but being refused.

It’s amazing. Are the Democrats really going to nominate someone with no experience as their candidate? This is the most importamnt job on the planet. As Romney said, it’s not a job for an intern.

Hi Erica~
GOOD to see your sweet self back!

Hey everyone, why is Hillary Clinton taking the blow for Michigan and Florida not playing by the rules. I always vote Dem but I think I may just sit this one out. Florida seems to stub her toe a lot but I am sick to my stomach that my Michigan played its card too soon. Both thier politicians should be kicked in the pants.

i think Hillary should play/use all the cards she has under her sleaves……

If Hillary Clinton can’t run her own campaign, how is she going to run the country??

The video of the kid smoking the joint is just plain wrong and the mother only gets a handslap…

I really do not understand what Burman government is doing now. Does it really matter whether a country, which wants to help them, is imposing economic sanction or not? Life is definitely more important than anything else, I believe.

I read that a few supplies were already being distributed in Burma. These supplies were already over there in the area. The Red Cross had some things stored in Thailand?!
How is your visa coming, Anderson?
Welcome back, Erica! You were missed!
The situation in Burma is devastating! I don’t understand how the junta can be so cruel!

Seriously?? How can they let that mother keep that little boy after 1. Having weed in the room with him 2. Lighting weed and smoking it with him in the room (or house for that matter) 3. Letting him (or getting him to) smoke it AND 4. VIDEO TAPING it because she thinks she is great for this happening. ARGG Some people should not be allowed to reproduce.

good evening everyone.. im fighting a cold and am a bit stuffy tonite.. hope its not too distracting.

@Kenneth Turner: I am in agreement with you! I find it curious that they only discussed this from the point of view of the Obama supporters. The media has a habit of always discounting and sometimes underestimating the Hillary Clinton supporters.

Hi, Genevieve

The good news to the toddler/pot story is that the hospital didnt find any marijuana in the baby’s system…tho it doesnt make this any less disturbing.

Sadly, there are a lot of incidents like this that have come to light, often with teens trying to make children as young as 18 months old smoke pot. It’s awful.

why does she still have custody of the child?
she was in possesion of weed and the kid smoked it!!!!!!
what kind of mother lets that happen?!

I hate the demographics used to describe voters. Apparently I’m supposed to be an uneducated older white female. Buying a college degree has no correlation to common sense.

I can’t blame Hillary for wanting to stay in this race for as long as possible, even with the odds against her–it has to be very frustrating for her seeing her dream slowly slipping away–I just hope the Democrats aren’t going to be damaged as this campaign continues to go on.

some of you have asked.. im still waiting on a visa to burma. Ive talked to some folks in relief agencies, and their people are also sitting around waiting for visas.. its frustrating to say the least.. if its true that 100,000 people have died, its hard to imagine they have the capacity to collect the dead, and that would mean disease can easily spread…

John King and his magic board. Enough said. His analysis tonight is great, shows a lot of sides that fly under the radar.

If Obama stands in the way of the Michigan and Florida delegates getting seated I wonder how they will receive him if he becomes the nominee and he goes to those states to campaign for the general.

John King,

Missouri was a tie! It was won by Obama by a very very narrow margin - even more close than yesterday’s Indiana vote.

If Obama can win that then so can Hillary. Your analysis is so bias on that one.

EJ is right Anderson. If you do get to go to Burma, we will all be with you.

It’s got to be tough for the superdelegates. Most of the arguments from the candidates (as stated by John King) are speculations. Things can change over the years, who really can predict red vs. blue states especially during this election year!

Unbelieveable that 100.000 people have perished in the cyclone.
I can not even imagine the suffering.
This is horrible and Al Gore blames it on global warming. Interesting~

Jacob: Obama clearly stated it is up to Sen. Clinton to decide if she wants to run until the primaries are done with. I am not sure where you got your facts. Please listen carefully what he has said all along. Granted, there are people who would like her to leave … BUT it is not he who said it.

Fay…take a look at the OBAMA campaign…his surrogates are the ones PUSHING her out…they are doing his dirty work for him…

I do feel sorry for the people of Burma. I will keep them in my prayers.

I know how exciting the political issue is right now, but it seems that people are eager to hear more about Burma cyclones, and so am I.

Which part of, “You can’t win the Democratic primary election”, does Hillary not understand? If she can’t grasp this simple concept, how could she possibly deal with the much more complex issues she would face as president? I believe she needs someone to draw her a picture so that she understands that she has lost!

Is’t Hillary in just to raise enough money for her company, so she can get her own money back?

i quit listening to the pundits long ago..Hillary can win in the general election..she’s a fighter..you want a democrat in the white house..vote smart this time…

@Jo Ann: you guys are absolutely right. if Obama gets the nomination he wont make it. Clinton supports will not vote or instead support McCain, which is sad to say but true. she knows how to take a punch. and shes injecting her own money into this campaign. if obama were to go through the same campaign money problems he wouldve dropped out of this race a long long time ago…… although he has the money to inject into his own campaign……

Count me as another person who will not vote for Obama in the fall if he is the nominee. I believe the Democrats are a little too optimistic when they say Clinton supporters will eventually support Obama.

Actually Deborah/OH - Jeanine said that originally and I was quoting her & agreeing with her.

hey betty ann
what has not been blamed on globe warming her lately?????

i agree that we need to take more care of our planet but really do we have to blame verything happening on global warming

my heart goes out to all teh poor people in Burma and pray there goverment gets lets help flow in!!!!!

>>>>Why doesn’t she give up? What is she fighting for?<<<<

Simple, she knows Obama can’t win and deep in her heart, she wants to take the Democrats to the sure thing they had before the DNC lost their minds!.

I don’t believe that we should underestimate Hillary at this point.
She can accomplish the impossible

Fay … Jason-Riverview ….it the pundits (media) who insinuate that Sen. Clinton should leave… the Obama campaign emphasizes that it is Sen. Clintons decision to make.

I’ve heard a few people (Rick Stengel, for one) say that “she broke the rules” and now she wants FL and MI to count.
Hillary Clinton didn’t break the rules – the legislatures of both FL and MI did.

I was disgusted to see all you men laughing at the end of that segment about the clock running out for Hillary. I will always support Hillary.

All these questions assume that Hillary is responsible for ripping the party apart. What about Obama? If anyone who polarizes voters should get out of the race…then everyone should get out of the race.

Clinton even if she won Oregon (not going to happen), Kentucky (prob), and Everything….she could not catch up in pledged Del. i doubt she would take all of them!!~~ she is a fighter…and she is more experienced…but this is Dividing the Dem. party, and nonsensical!!~~….she has “Loaned” herself over $6 million and he is flourishing…..sad neither one will be humble and get on the same ticket!!~~ they would SWEEP!!~~

I agree with Andrea on the mother with the baby. That’s terrible that she is allowed to keep the boy. I pray that she will get help and that child will be saved from such an awful situation.

What is so awful about Obama, that you wouldn’t vote for him if he was the nominee? No matter who I support now, in the end I still would choose any of the democrat nominees over McCain

The one plausible scenario that still works for Clinton is to seat FL and MI at the same ratios they voted. That pulls her close enough to Obama so it’s still a contest.

Remember we need to count the Michign and Flordia’s delegates in Nov, if we want to win the Dems.

I am with Kenneth and Bonnie 100%.

@Brian Persaud: I wonder about that as well, I do not fit the demographic of the candidates I am considering either. Since we are the anomalies, maybe they should talk to some of us.

I still think Hillary is tougher and more experienced then Obama. She may not make it, but she is putting up a great fight!

Hi Erica, glad to have you back!

The smoking is bad enough, but knowing that the kid likely knows how to use a lighter and/or strike a match is scary. Makes me wonder if the next story from that family would be “pot-smoking child sets home on fire.”

What don’t some of you people get? Obama is winning and if he can defeat The Clintons and their machine and their rabid attack dogs, you have no worries about the general election.

I’m a Clinton supporter that would vote for Obama. Either of them is better than the alternative. Heathcare, the economy and the war are issues that are very important. Clinton or Obama would do better than McCain on these issues. Four more years of the way it’s been or a chance at something better…what’s more important?

The DNC cannot afford to have Hillary as the nominee because her supporters cannot support her financially. Obama’s organization is lucrative.

Thank you EJ! You are both right!

Hillary will step down when the time is right, she will start to campaign nicely now and let some of the tempers subside and then graciously step down and right behind Obama 100%. I think she will campaign long and hard for him. (well, not so much for him but for democrats) She will do whatever it takes to bring the democrats together for November and if she doesn’t it will take its toll on her own future in politics.

Dave Makela> Its also a “simple concept” that it will be up to the superdelegates who gets the nom, so they both have a chance. I could try to draw a picture..

The Senator from New York says he believes that Senator Clinton made a loan of 6.4 million to her campaign because of her faith and beleif in waht she wants to do. May I suggest that he consider that she may have made the loan because her contributions have dropped off and she is so locked in to her campaign that she cannot find a way out without it seeming that she has suffered a defeat.

HRC has broader appeal than Obama in a general election. The Democratic candidate always gets 90% of the black vote. In the NC ‘blowout’ Obama only got 1/3 of the white vote. That won’t win in Nov. She’ll get his backers, but he won’t get hers.

Anderson…It is true that the Myanmar people are throwing the dead in the rivers? And its not safe there?

I can’t believe how negative the media is (except Fox) about Hillary today. Obama has not yet won. I wish someone in the media would offer some investigative reporting about Obama that is not so favorably biased. For example, if I as a Democrat, have him as the nominee, I would like to know if he was able to create change in Illinois. I would like to know if he reached across party lines the one year he actually served in the U.S. Senate before campaigning for President. I would like to know why Obama didn’t do anything about Rezko’s 11 slum apartment buildings that were in his Illinois Senate District. There is so much we don’t know about this guy, and yet, we’re about to make him the Democratic nominee! Furthermore, I don’t see anyone in the media who wants to research , and report on his limited record. It seems his so-called charisma is all people care about. I still think something more might come out about Rezko. Obama’s lack of experience scares me. If Obama is the most qualified candidate the Democratic party can present, I’ve lost faith in the party, and will become a Republican.

Claire - I agree. Clinton or Obama - fine with me.

Democrats WILL unite in the end! We are not stupid idiots, taking our red balls and going home just because OUR candidate didn’t get the nomination. Get a grip, folks. Do we (DEMS) really want ANOTHER Republican in the White House for 4-8 years?

I am a Burmese citizen residing in US. Every minutes count in Burma at this time and why United Nations does not take any actions like force entering the Burma in order to safe lives. It is UN duty to protect civilian and it is not a good reason showing the world that visa was denied or not granted.
Burmese government needs ultimatum not a proposal, why? the government is built of military so they want to hear order not request.

MI and FL may have broken the rules but HIllary kept her name on the ballot. Should she have removed her name from the ballots like Obama did? Seems like that was what the DNC wanted the candidates to do.

100,000 people are dead in Myanmar is the “tease” of coming up. We’ve spent 35 minutes listening to why Hillary can’t win. Am I missing something?

I think Hillary should stick through the remaining 6 contests but if she does not win them all with a LARGE point lead she seriously needs to think what it will do to the party if the person with the most pledged delegates has the nomination taken away from them based on a her theory that she is the most electable

Why is the gas tax so ridiculous. Wasn’t there a “windfall profits tax” in place during the Carter administration or am I misinformed? Why can’t there be one put in place again?

I’m an Obama supporter, but I don’t mind Hillary staying in for 3 more weeks. I think Obama is the obvious nominee and it is a matter of math…even if you included Florida and Michigan giving him the “uncommitted” vote, he would still have an overwhelming lead in pledged delegates and popular vote.

Joe, I am insulted by your “populist nonsense” line. I am an educated female voter who listens to NPR and I want my President to be a populist.

Clarie,
I also support Hillary too, I hope that she will never give up for race, I hope not to lose for her. but Hillary won in Indiana last night, but not North Carolina..

Let’s face it, as of today, three people are all still running for President. I think it’s good and I would have even loved more candidates to have been involved longer. Onward we go

Sorry to hear you are fighting a cold Anderson! Get well soon, don’t want you to be sick if you get that visa to Burma!!!

Hi : At least Hilary Clinton puts her money where her mouth is. She has worked so hard, been thru so much. She has been in the White House and knows the stress of the business. She forgave Bill and look at the wonderful daughter they have raised.

Show some success Obama has had.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. I’m a Hillary supporter. If Obama is the democratic nominee, I’m voting for McCain.

The pundits cannot speak for Hillary supporters. They keep saying that everyone will come together shortly and support Obama. Trust me…….as a Hillary supporter, I will not vote for an inexperienced person like Obama for President. Before voting against my will, I will write in Hillary Clinton’s name in the General Election, so many of Clinton supporters will do the same. The more pundits get on shows to spin and speak negatively of Hillary Clinton, the more Clinton supporters will stick to our convictions to support her in some fashion.

Obama will not get Hillary supporters voters. I for one “IF” Obama is the Democratic Nominee. I am going to rip up my voters registration card and mail it to Howard Dean . Then I am going to re-register as a Republican,

And it is not because of the Wright stuff. He has no resume, no experience, no knowledge of how to run this country.

Vote Hillary or Vote McCain

I think Hillary should stay in and go all the way. There are still 6 more states and the situation with FL/MI still unresolved.
These people having been trying to kick her out since FEB.
If she wasnt a woman would they be doing that??

Also what is ‘OCTOBER SURPRIZE” that was mention?

why can’t they both run against John mcCain? This election is too important. we must find a way to unify this party. November is quickly approaching.

David, the “food taster” line was not nice at all.

It never ceases to amaze me that the media thinks it is funny and cute to make comments about women - especially by men.

If Obama received the nomination, will Hillary back him?

If Obama is the candidate of the DNC by June he will have the whole party behind him. They as a whole will do every thing possible to defeat McCain in November That’s five months!!!! It could happen.

What on earth is Burma afraid of by letting aid in? I guess it shows how little they care about their fellow neighbors and how much they want to protect themselves. What a shame.

Anderson, Good luck in getting your visa. How can you prepare yourself for such a horrendous experience? I can only imagine the familes waiting for word of their loved ones that may never come. The aftermath will only add to the tragedy. If you do go I wish you Godspeed.

Aw AC, hope you feel better. I’m having computer problems so I have to sign off. Night everyone!

I know it takes a week to get a visa for China and that is a nation that is not nearly as hard to get into. I honestly don’t think you will be getting a visa anytime soon Anderson and that is too bad really

is that cyclone is same like hurricane?

I heard that some in the country think the government may have not notified them of the impending disaster on purpose

I am so tired of everyone saying that Hillary’s supporters will come around. Well here is one more that will NEVER vote for Obama. I will put up with McCain for 4 years and then put Hillary in the White House in 2012. Here in Fla we voted and Hillary won all 210 delegates. Obama doesn’t want our votes counted so why would I ever vote for someone who doesn’t care about us. It will never happen.

Do you think military action should be applied to get in?

Myanmar pics are heartbreaking.

Good luck with the cold Anderson, I’m fighting one too.

“If Obama received the nomination, will Hillary back him?”

Yes. She said that she will campaign for the Democratic nominee.

Even Hillary would want us to vote for the democrat than vote for McCain or not vote at all.

Everyone needs to get some perspective, nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face…

It amazing the nerve Obama has that he doesn’t want Florida and Michigan votes to count, but yet, in November he expects the people of these two state to vote for him. He needs those states to win the Whitehouse. Does he think they will forget how he cast them out.

People lets not get crazy, that is what the Republicans want, the Dems to fight among each other. So they can win again. Do we want another 8 years with a Republican Prez?

Rose-
it is true. I saw footage of them unceremoniously dumping dead bodies in the local rivers. Sad…

First time on your blog - great reporting by Dan Rivers regarding Burma. They only pay $1.50 for a gallon of gas according to Dan. Not bad.

It is despicable how the Burmese government is not allowing much aid into the country and letting the citizens suffer.

It appears Hillary can not win the nomination. But, it’s fact that Obama can not win the general election.

What to do? What to do?

If they don’t get help, with the food and water situation, this is going to get worse.

Thanks for the info on how to help.

Megan, a cyclone is what a hurricane is called in the Pacific. Howevr they are typically bigger and stronger than Atlantic hurricanes.

I can’t even watch the poor people there. They can’t seem to catch a break. It’s one of those countries that has so much suffering and so many problems the world has just given up on it.

how horrible that the government in myanmar/burma is being so stubborn to not let aid workers or journalists in… they’re ok with letting their people die but they’re not ok with accepting help from other countries!

Will the government of Burma take the money from donations, or is that being refused too? Very shameful.

I am glad see Dan Rivers in Burma tonight. he is so best reporter in the world! Thank you Dan for information from Bruma…..

Dan Rivers looks exhausted. It’s got to be tough covering this story. Hope he stays safe and healthy.

Thank you Anderson for letting us know there is something we can do to help right now!

Darren, we have spent a long time trying to get a live connection with our correspondent on the ground… it is not easy to broadcast live from inside burma… that is the delay… we led with the story off the top of the program, but have had to wait for our correspondent to connect with us.

Dan Rivers is doing a great job covering this story. I am gald we were finally able to see him on 360.

Diane, Obama didn’t cast your vote aside, your own representatives of your state did that…What happened with FL and MI is not Obama’s, Hillary’s or Howard Dean’s fault…it your own law makers of your state that caused this…

Those police in the video look like a pack of wild animals in a killing spree. Philidelphia should be ashamed of itself. Get rid of the police gangs. The world is watching Mayor Nutter.

Thank you, Mike in NY

Burma is very tragic indeed!!~~ Bush pledged over $3million, and i know Rice is trying to get things done, but the Burma government is Ridiculous, and will not give Visa’s to UN workers to allow help, or journalists for the World to see what is really going on there, which in turn would bring more attention to it and MORE HELP!!~~ it is Shameful….

Rose from Southern Calif> I agree. The party as a whole needs to step back and count to 10 before we make any hasty decisions.

Good night bloggers, its always fun here. Feel better AC! My thoughts go out to those with family and friends in Burma.

I don’t understand the laws regarding Polygamy. Where do the courts draw the line between people living together and living together in “spiritual marriage”?

I am upset about Obama and his supporters trying to bully Hillary to exit the race for the past 3 months. And now they say today that we want this over with as soon as possible …. the sooner the better is what Obama campaign has said.

Ok, this bishop’s list is creepy.

It almost sounds like a re-cap of Katrina, only worse. People deserve better than to be thrown in a river without so much as a prayer or even a kind word.

These people need to have their story told. If you do get a visa, stay safe to, from, and while you are there. I look forward to hearing you recount their horrific experience.

Our prayers are with those who are suffering and those who have lost their lives.

Dude, everytime I pass a gas station, I growl

Good night Anderson! Take care of your cold; use some saline instead of that Afrin, it’s better for you.

There is a 24 y/o sect member that is married to someone old enough to be her grandfather?!? *shudder*

Good night AC360 staff and bloggers. Erica - good to see you back. Anderson - take care of that cold…

1.50 a gallon in Burma. And no roads t o drive on. and no cemeteries to bury their dead.

Burma——As we co exist with our creator, we are all called to embrace those who are broken. It ’s good to see that Dan Rivers is there reflecting on the situation. Your presence in Burma would be a plus,go for it!

great show as usual 360 team.. stay well fellow bloggers and to all a good night

Anderson or Erica -
The situation in Burma is revealing. It shows that every country has something that needs correction. Why won’t the president let anyonein? So that everyone can see how he lives, and how he makes others live?

Good Night,

Sleep tight.

It is my first time in this blog too.

Gary NJ, I agree with you: $1.50 per gallon seems like a reasonable price for gas. But it is a lot of money for people in Burma….

Good luck with trying to get the visa Anderson.. and we all hope you feel better soon.

I think if the world clamors loudly enough, the Burmese government will have no choice but to listen & let help come to their residents.

The sad thing about Myanmar is that this happens almost every 5 or so years somewhere along the coast between Cambodia and India.

Good Wednesday evening all. I think after watching the cliff hanger last night and a full plate of major news in the world today, I’m done for the night. My brain can’t grasp much more..My thoughts are with the people of Burma. night all

see you tomorrow, everyone!
