So where will this put the delegate count, popular vote, etc.? Didn’t Edwards have some delegates when he “suspended” his candidacy?

IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!. Edwards, possible VP . They look great in the picture above.

I am so happily stunned and filled with glee. I am not sure why, because I had a feeling Edwards might have been leaning toward Obama, but with this campaign, you just don’t know. good for him. And good for Barack. I hope this helps him a great deal. YAY! Let’s Gobama!

Dunno why he waited so long.

It’s about time. Now that he knows who the nominee is going to be, he will endorse that person. He says he would not be a VP if asked - but we all know politicians don’t always say what they mean. That would deffinitely be a great ticket.

I’m just looking forward to this primary to come to an end…too much already. I bet some of the media must be tired or reporting on this too. It will be a great day when Hilary finally admits her campaign is over. I just hope Obama’s campaign doesn’t end up paying her debt or us taxpayers. Curious to see how she will handle it since she continues to increase her debt…

It finally looks like Michelle Obama has decided that her husband will have Edwards as his VP.

YAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s all move on and focus on November now!
Kind Regards,
Tita

Obama and Edwards would make a great team–it will be interesting to see what is in the works between the two of them.

I think you’re looking at the future Vice President of the dynamic duo in the whitehouse. Great day for Obama supporters. Hillary had her 15 minutes of fame last night with her token victory in West Virginia. Obama is going after the big prize, and now we have Edwards!

And this is supposed to impress me because? John Edwards has been a loser every time he’s tried to run for president. So Obama can attract a political nobody who was probably forced by the DNC to push for Obama (since they’re hell bent on committing suicide in November by putting him on their ticket). Nice to see politics as usual in play. Good thing Obama doesn’t believe in the same old, same old poltical games.

well bout time mr. john edwards, i find it kind of cowardly to endorse obama at this point in time because everyone in the world knows the race was over in n.c.

What a hypocrite! Didn’t Edwards just tell Larry King that he didn’t want to “contribute to the divide” and that he was going to “let the voters make the decision?” Edwards is just trying to make everyone forget his big loss. Now he can add liar to his resume.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised to see that he is making this endorsement in Michigan, one of the states where the Obama campaign worked so hard to disenfranchise the voters.

@Larry: He waited so long because he wanted to pick a time when he could make the biggest splash. Like all the rest of the “late comers” he is just looking for attention.

I figured that he would. He was just waiting until Obama had it sown up. He probably will be his running mate.

It’s about time Edwards….Glad you made the right decision. Hop on the band wagon of HOPE and lets CHANGE America!!!!!

Obama 08!!!!!!!

Edwards had no choice….if Hillary didn’t know you can’t campaign on federal property who in their right mind would ever support her for President….sending Chelsea to PR with a plan to campaign on federal property is the most stupid thing her campaign could have done at this point…it shows her real lack of judgement and/or experience in basic campaign rules so it boils down to a question as to what blunders would she carryout if she were President.

Yet another loser has Endorse Obama..A real candidate can win on her on merits without the support of losers……

What a shame. Edwards accuses Obama of voting “present” instead of “yes” or “no” and then turns around and endorses him. Do any Democrats have integrity? Obama may be a good man. But, as a sitting Senator that chose not to vote on occasion that would be a deal breaker. The “change” that’s needed goes much further than just saying it.

I can’t wait to see what all these people who claim to be ‘close’ to the Clintons will do when Hillary is President. Hopefully they will get the same courtesy from her as she did them. I would not vote for Barack Obama if he were the only candidate running. It will also be interesting to see the faces of all those that voted for Obama when everything goes haywire. Let’s not forget Wright, his wife’s statements, the typical white person, the bitter people, and by the way…didn’t I see on CNN where someone claimed that Hamas backs Obama? SCARY…and we just thought Wright was scary! CNN is Obama supporters and take every chance they get to bash Hillary Clinton. But that still doesn’t diminish the fact that she’s more electable, more intelligent, and has more integrity than Obama. Let’s not forget Florida and Michigan. And the fact that he can not win against McCain. She can! And John Edwards…that’s as important as McGovern…get on with the REAL news….that Hillary is in the race to win the White House…and will… Besides, by the time all is said and done,. something else will come out about Obama…

Lisa - I think when all is said and done Hillary will have the popular vote and Obama will have the superdelegates. Makes me wonder how the DNC is going to figure this one out. Do you go with the majority of the population or with a handful of superdelegates?

YES!! I have said all along that Edwards as VP would ROCK!! Does this mean that Obama automatically gets Edwards’ delegates???

and havent we seen THIS picture before????????? a poorly experienced politician(Bush) gets the backing and assistance from old heads who have no where else to go in their political careers…(Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft,, Powell , Rice ) just so they can be the puppettmasters of a neophyyte politician……..and look what mess THAT arrangement did to America!!!!!!! and now the Democratic old heads (Richards, Edwards, Kerry, Kennedy , Biden ) are doing the same mess…..
To the Clintons….the old saying goes.”watch your enemies close but watch your friends CLOSER”….

Poor Edwards…always the bridesmaid but never the bride… I’m sure he’s hoping for a VP nod again….
This seals it for me………..this democrat is sitting out of the Nov election…….not voting Republican, just not voing Democratic!!!!!!!!

Well now I know this I won’t be voting for a president this time and I think alot ofother people will do the same thing. Obama does not have the experience needed to be in the White House and it won’t help much with a John Edwards endorsment.

John Edwards has increasingly become a stronger force in national politics. He has been a strong voice on issues of poverty and middle class issues of health care and education. He was also the only candidate to begin his campaign by drawing attention to the failure of progress in New Orleans and the MS Gulf Coast since Katrina. Edwards is still young, and a rising political star. He would be an outstanding VP candidate. It’s sad that Hillary supporters are even worse losers than she is. This is not about the Clintons. Never was. Changing our course in Iraq, providing middle class tax relief, and providing affordable health care are the issues that this country deperately needs to be addressed. That will not happen with John McCain. Obama has run his campaign with dignity and respect over the process. He is well qualified and has earned the right to change the course of this nation.

Great Great News!!

I am so glad John Edwards finally endorsed Barack Obama. They make a great team. I hope Edwards agrees to run as VP…we really need these two guys in the office.

Thank you, John Edwards. That’s wonderful and I appreciate it. All those people, who say Edwards has been a loser need to stop with the hate-speak, already!

I am a registered Independent supporting Obama, ALL Obama supporters need to extend the hand of friendship to Hillary’s people other wise we can prepare for another four years of mounting national debt and more lives lost in a war in Iraq!

PLEASE PEOPLE LET’S COME TOGETHER FOR THE SAKE OF OUR NATION! WE NEED CHANGE!

Another good reason to like John Edwards but I’m not sure if he is interested in the VP slot. Two that haven’t been mentioned much are Jim Webb from Va. and Kathleen Sebelius from Ka. I’d also like to see Colin Powell in the mix, I thought he was a great Sec. of State, just for the wrong administration.

I think that this is the push that Obama really needed to close this race. Edwards was my first choice for president. This clearly makes my decision for me as to who I am going to vote for. I also want to say that I feel that Edwards should be Obama’s vice president, that is a real dream ticket!

John Edwards sucks. He only did it so he can try for VP again. He was not chosen in 04 or now , can he not take a hint? if he is chosen as VP then McCain should start moving in the White House now.

I am so happy to see that Edwards is finally endorsing Obama. Everytime I hear talk about Clinton being on the ticket with Obama, I cringe. The real dream ticket is Obama/Edwards! –the only two sincere candidates this political season has seen!
Please start pushing the true “dream ticket”!!!! Obama/Edwards 08!!!!!!!!

I endorse Obama faithfully by the light of a billion stars, as a pledge to the Democratic party. Senator Obama is very down-to-earth and despite aberrations like Rev.Wright and other criticisms -which I consider a non-entity, given the larger picture- he has sustained the pattern of his constellation, which I should say is steady, unrelenting and positive. Wav to go Barack Obama!

I am a young 18 year old democrat. I will not be voting for Obama. If I have to I just won’t vote our political system won’t be better with him it will be worse. John Edwards said all of america was heard well that is wrong. Michigan and Florida were not heard. I will never support Obama. I hope this country actually votes for 4 more years of Bush. Obama says change but doesn’t say how he is going to make change. I will leave it at this. “Can we vote for another war with Pakistan.” NO WE CAN’T,NO WE CAN’T.

This sounds like the unofficial announcement of John Edwards as Vice Presidential running mate.

Edwards is just looking out for himself, the endorsement means nothing at this point. Obama already has the nomination locked up. Edwards should have just let the election play out.

Edwards waited to see who was ahead to endorse otherwise he would of come out weeks ago who do these two clowns think they are fooling. Oh, yes a large part of America. I believe he wants the VP and was promised that we shall see shorthly. It is a sad day since this shows how political favors are paid. I may be wrong but really doubt it. I feel the division in the party is real and either I am sitting out or going republican with McCain and that really pains me. I have no faith in Obama. His voting record shows his weaknesses and 20+ years with a church leader that is more than questionable. Only the Democrats can take a political advantage in the 2008 election and basically piss it away to McCain. The timing is more than interesting I do believe a bunch of arms hurt today with all the twisting from the DNC.

This is an amazing development. Just when I thought this race wouldn’t get more interesting, it does. I can’t wait to see what happens after this. Thanks for the update.

I think Hillary should call it quits now and then run as an independent come the election. She would have more control to run the White House her way. She has such a wide support system and she leads McCain in the polls so it would be a shoe-in for her. Doesn’t matter what road you take as long as you get there! Go Hillary!!

Dear Anderson,
Here is what I as a voter, think of the DNC rules: they are positively UNDEMOCRATIC! The votes look like they are going up for auction or are being brokered at this point instead of actual voters being counted. Super Delegates are a bunch of bunk and so is the democratic party………………….John McCain is almost starting to look apealing at this point!

Man, I used to really like John Edwards…

Didn’t know that John Edwards was currently the senator from anywhere; maybe he’s the senator from that bridge to nowhere.

And he’s different from Hillary’s views how?

I see, he’s setting the stage for nationalizing anything and everything.

Will you stop saying ‘Marxism’?

~Vince in CA: You know that Dean and the DNC is behind this timing! This was obviously carefully planned to draw attention away from Clinton’s big win last night.

John Edwards is nothing more than a hypocritic elitist with a four hundred dollar haircut.

Not sure how endorsing Obama means Edwards will be the VP …
And @Vince in CA, I’d go with the popular vote but that, unfortunately, is not apparently how our election systems.

At the very least, the last few elections and this primary have certainly spotlighted a need for change in how voting is done.

The endorsement is happening now. The nomination process is over. Obama is on his way no question about it. Obama has come into politics with his own movement of good and right judjment and things are going to change for better in the world.

Upward, Onward, Obamaward (Obama/Edwards)

It is my opinion that CNN is spending an inordinate amount of time covering the US presidential campaign when several countries are in dire need of attention and support from the world community. When 911 took place, the world community focused their attention on US assistance and support. It is a US embarrassment to subordinate these global disasters to the recycled news of a US presidential campaign.

How perfect the blind leading the blind” arrogance to match , $400? or $600 haircuts while walking around New Orleans devestation, what a shame , they both gloss over in generic rhetoric, lack of substance , and what is most important and relevant to the job EXPERIENCE , demonstrated by action, hands on with years of serving our country. Not the philosophy of flighty words hope….. change…. ??? voters need to do their research , investigate and make an educated decision on who they vote for.

Maritza

Thank you John Edwards……it is certainly about time

Go Obama!!!!!!!!

Looks like the “Good Ole Boys Club”. I will not vote for Senator Obama even if he picked Santa Claus as his running mate.

Looks like Senator McCain is going to be elected by rational Democrats.

Dear Anderson
How can John Edwards endorse Obama when his
Health Care plan was the same as Hillary’s?
When I watched the debate Edwards & Hillary disagreed with Obama on the issue of health care Plan.
Some of us are very disappointed with Edwards, I thought that he was genuine and concerned about the health care programme.
I think some endorsers & some super delagates have something against Hillaryor simply jealous, these endorsers should keep their personal differences aside and look at the experience Hillary and the work she has done, she has always been a hardworker don’t you think?
I have lots of relatives in US they too are disappointed and will vote for Mccain. Hope CNN does bring up this question.
Obama won election based on African American voters, they were loyal to him. Obama ’s age got votes from students(not forgeting their parents) not his experience or for whatever work he has done as a Senator and he is a good speaker and very convincing, He needs more experience and if elected will be a puppet on a string with his endorsers. My family in US ( so am I ) are perplexed. Is this how a nomination is based on????

Very disappointed with this outcome. I am concerned who the next President would be, because of Canadian Bussiness in the U.S.
Whatever problems effect US does affect the world.

JD

I don’t see why you did not post my other blog.I think Edwards supporting Obama is a joke and Edwards is a traitor . This is America and not Obama country .We all know all Obama voters are of black race and the other one to vote for him think they owe the blacks.I owe no one any thing. I will support Mccain if they put Barack in as nominee. People getting paid to be super delegates or bought is stupid. I guess the Kennedys are happy to know he looks like past Kennedy .Really you people get real Baracks wife looks and sounds like a black angry person.We do not need a under weather president.

That is terrific. I do not think Edwards is interested in VP though. I think he just wants to unite the party. The only one interested in seeing Hillary fight this ridiculous battle is Hillary. The fight is over Hillary. You are a wonderful politician……….but it is over.

UNITE alongside the next President of the United States,

Barack Obama

John Edwards has always impressed me as the most principled, intelligent politician of our day. If he supports Obama, that says a lot for Obama. Nobody knows you as well as somebody who studied you to campaign against you.
I’ve always liked Elizabeth,too, and hope she’s doing well. It would certainly be ironic if she supports Hillary as I suspect she does.
God bless John and Elizabeth Edwards! God bless Obama!

this proves my point…….no loyalty in the Democratic party.

Anderson -
I am an constant viewer of CNN because it’s the best station in the country and I’m glad that there is no more coverage of Brittney, or Lindsey. I want to say that Lou Dobbs seems to have a real problem with the fact that Sen. Obama just may become our nation’s first Black
American to become president. He just goes on and on about Florida and Michian as if Sen. Obama had something to do with the primaries being moved. Yet, he doesn’t display the same fervor over Sen. Clinton. He needs to digest the possibility that he may like the rest of us, have a president, who just happens to be Black. Hillary assumed she was the heir apparent with the intention of sweeping over the country and getting the nomination, but surprise, surprise, here is this young man of color who just burst her bubble. She and Bill need to get over themselves and just deal with it like Lou!

I soooo wanted Edwards to stay in the race. I think he would have brought a much needed calmness and dignity to the white house that perhaps the other two democrats might not as they are “tainted” politically. Endorsements mean NOTHING to me.

I am now disgusted with Edwards making ANY endorsement. Part of me thinks he did it to be asked to be on the Obama ticket. I hope Obama goes back and plays Mr. Edwards early speeches on his opponents. I also think now that it APPEARS Obama may be the democratic winner, Edwards thinks there might be a job in it for himself. I do not care for Edwards having done this. It doesn’t look good politically.

John Edwards is nothing to brag about..just another traitor. But Hillary doesn’t need him anyway. Kinda like McGovern…just another loser at anything they go at…To all you Hillary supporters…give Obama enough time…he will screw it up all by himself. Just like calling the reporter “sweetie”…..wonder how long Michelle will be proud to be an American when her hubby messes up! He just can’t measure up to Hillary’s intelligence. He doesn’t have a clue how to be a President of anything….let alone our country!

This makes my stomach turn! I can’t believe that Edwards is backing
Obama. His views and democratic issues were the same as Hillary Clintons during the primary races. What did Edwards do a 360 and
decide to change his beliefs or is he getting some kind of behind the
scenes pay-back? Obama has already suckered enough Americans
into thinking he is the #1 candidate. I can’t see it at all, why are these
people following Obama? All the violence, drugs, hatred, poverty,
killings, profanity, sex, and FEAR has been portrayed by the black noise (rap music) and movies pictating their lives gives me reason
for concern!!! My mother thinks Obama is the Anti-Christ! I laughed!
You never know what is going thru people’s minds!

It is just a part of the Obama feeding frenzy going on right now. Thanks to the media he will be the Democratic candidate. He is more newsworthy than a woman and will sell more air time. What a way to pick a President.

Look, Edwards was too weak to stay in for President - what good will he do now? I really hope people are not fooled by this suspicious backing now. Is he trying to get the working white vote that he is overlooking everytime?

Backing by Kennedy (who is only around because of his name), Kerry (big mistake by Democratic party for President), Edwards (too weak for president), personally wouldn’t want any of them in my corner.

I have lost all faith in the Democratic party.

To all the people saying UNITE…..great…tell Obama that Hillary is the best candidate with the experience to run the country and he can be HER running mate. Otherwise…you all WILL get another 4 years of Republicans….looks like it would be obvious as to why Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama…he’s not President material. So, if you all are really serious about uniting….great…Hillary for President….Obama for Vice President…no problem!

Terrible. Does anyone remember how Edwards treated Obama during the debates? Edwards is just pumping up his speaking fees for the future, when McCain is in office because of this circus. A joint ticket with Clinton and Obama, and Edwards as AG might put together enough supports to pull off the fall. Obama alone is handing it right back to the repubs.

Very disappointing. John Edwards was my choice for president, but when he dropped out, Hillary was clearly the best remaining candidate. I believe Edwards got it wrong. Obama has been divisive to the party, not Hillary. Obama seems like a friendly guy, but I certainly don’t see him as a president. John McCain isn’t so bad—-I wanted a democrat, but he will do.

Americans are a hard species to understand. First they vote in Bush not once but twice. Now it looks like USA is going to elect the only male in the USA more inept when it comes to politics — Obama. America is losing two (2) wars, in debt to nearly every country on the globe, economy going bankrupt, families losing their homes, country overrun with illegal immigrants etc. etc. etc. HAHAHA! Only in America could so many people, be so stupid & self destructive. Bye Bye Yanks!

I think the endorsement was an introduction to the Demo ticket this fall. I believe Edwards get the VP nod. Good move!

i have lost all respect for edwards to come out an support oboma the day after such a big win for hillary it was really a slap in the face to her.why cant these super delagates wait until the american people have all had a chance to all vote in this primary,that is what hillary is trying to do let all americans have a vote i have had it with the democratic party &there crazy rules for the first time in my life since i have been able to vote (i am 65)i will most likely be sitting home on election day i will not vote for mcain& and i do not think obama will do a good job there are to many unanswerd questions about him,we need someone really strong to get us out of the mess bush has got us into and i dont think oboma is the one to do it

What ever happened to the super delegates waiting until the primaries played out and not rush to judgment until then? This looks more like a bid for the Vice President slot instead of a real endorsement.

Edwards is a loser, just like Kerry, Kennedy, Richardson..Like a losers endorsement really matters…………..

Joyce, in my opinion, Lou Dobbs does not have a problem with Obama because he “may become our nation’s first Black American….president.” He just points out that voters in Florida and Michigan should not be disenfranchised. I believe 2.5 million people voted and now their votes will probably not count. I have not heard anything that suggests that Lou Dobbs has a problem with Obama because he’s black.

Good to see John Edwards trying to bring the party together around the Democrat who can win against McCain. I can’t wait for the Gore endorsement.

Give it up Hillary supporters. If you are a true Democrat support the candidate who can win. The Democratic party has boldly brought forward two non white male candidates this year.

This is a great target for the Republicans as they have no new policies. Bush and McCain repeat the same tired failed Republican party policys over and over. Republicans believe the government belongs to white men.

Conservative means no changes, things are great as they are, think inside the box. Obama is for change and that is unnaceptable to Republicans. Republicans want to run against a candidate with the most baggage.

Hillary has a swift boat load of baggage for Republicans to feed prime time network show watchers in the fall. They can load the swift boat up if she is either the candidate or VP candidate. Obama has carry on baggage. Hillary needs a full cargo hold for the Clinton’s baggage.

I understand women feeling they are missing their chance. Cheer up there are lots of good women with little baggage who should run in the future.

In 2004 they claimed Kerry was a flip-flopper. It appears Edwards is one as well. He had said he would stay in the race through Super Tuesday, then abruptly pulled out. Why? Because he would take more votes away from Obama than Clinton. Edwards claimed he would endorse the candidate who would pledge to do the most to end poverty. Maybe I missed it, but when has Obama taken a serious stand on ending poverty? Then there is the health care issue. Obama’s plan does not cover everyone, but Clinton and Edwards’ plan did. How disappointing you are, John Edwards.

One more thing, Obama has more regular delegates than Mrs. Clinton so therefore HE has the popular vote.

-Joey Miller, I live in Florida and voted for John Edwards, I now support Obama. The facts are these: Florida and Michigan violated DNC rules by pushing their primaries ahead - the penalty was that the votes wouldn’t count. It was agreed upon by all of the Democratic candidates that none of them would campaign in either state. (A ruling that was violated by Hillary Clinton) Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan, now I ask you how the hell is that fair?

-Linda R. Thank you for that blatant display of racism and ignorance. I’m sure you’re a proud upstanding member of the Daughters of Dixie with all this talk about you not voting for Obama because he’s black and “all his voters” being black or somehow being race traitors.

I’m a white male who’d vote for a green woman with orange spots if she meshed with my values, however Hillary has done nothing but play the same ol song and dance routine and play the Republican’s game for them. I for one, don’t want to see the Bush- Clinton Dynasty continue. For the last 20 years it’s been either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House so you either had rank stupidity or sleazeballs making shady deals like NAFTA.

It’s time for change and that doesn’t mean Dubya ver. 1.5 or as he’s more commonly known John “Geezer” McCain.

LA Times reports today that Edwards had $8.9 million in campaign debts, is expected to use “the promise” of matching federal funds to pay the debt . . . and is “not likely to need Obama’s help to discharge what he owes.” Obliquely, what that doesn’t say is whether Edwards and Obama could have come to a financial agreement for Edward’s overinflated endorsement. Is Edwards getting his wish to be Attorney General? Vice President?

It’s time for Hillary to step to the side. In the beginning I supported her as time went by I changed my mind. I will vote for Obama in Nov.

Edwards should have stayed on the sideline and let the voters finish their say. If he didn’t endorse Obama in North Carolina, why would he do it now right after Clinton’s big win in West Virginia, ahead of Kentucky, and just three weeks before all of the primaries are over? Could it be that the boys are afraid of what the girl might do? I wonder what he was promised. Hmm! Let’s let this process play out. No coronation please. Let’s be sure we have the best candidate to win in the fall.

CNN, Obama is your man - Anderson Cooper spends a whole day with the man out on the campaign trail; when questioned about why not spend time with Hillary - Mr. AC is waiting for invite to spend the day on the campaign trail. I thought when you wanted a story you went out after it - guess we did not want Hillary’s story bad enough. I will not vote for Obama, just on the “change” he has promised - lots of talk about change, but not how he will make this change happen. so what we have here is Obama with know experience and Edwards another loser, hoping for VP - what a ticket!!

Every now and then, you get leaders that don’t leave a mark for the people and definetly make no positive impact or advancement in mankind’s society; but there comes a time where and when the people thirst for change. So they look for a leader that will create an environment of change, that will inspire the old man to dream again, and the young to acquire generational visions, an environment that makes you feel proud of the land you belong to and so fight for; and this is THAT TIME, FOLKS…

Let’s setup the table for great innovative, pioneering, and inspirational leadership; a leadership that will make you blurt out “YES, WE CAN!” in the middle of your dream while surrounded with debris and tracks of previous poor leadership results.

IT IS TIME TO DREAM AND MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN AMERICA!

IT’S TIME TO MAKE WAY FOR THE BRAVE.

LET’S STEP-CHANGE OUR ACTS, TAKE THE HILLS IN OUR LIVES, CAST DOWN IMAGINATIONS THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO DO IT FOR US… YES, WE CAN!!!

PS: I wouldn’t be too fast in declaring an OBAMA-EDWARDS duo… Ever thought about OBAMA-GORE??

Big deal! What does John Edwards bring to the table? You pundents make mountains out of mole hills. HELLO! He dropped out of the race because no one agreed with him.
Why would white middle class voters suddenly vote for Sen. Obama? Just because John Edwards endorsed him! He would do better with an endorsement from David Duke.

Good, Good , Good.
At last a peoples man. And, Edwards should probably deserve second prize, also a peoples man.
CNN and others must be nervous now eh? Don’t know which way to sqirm now. The biggies might have to start kissing some butt soon or pay the consequences.
I have a feeling justice will be served at last, if no foul play is in mind.
I just don`t know how this new leader could possibly mend the wounds that have been so greadily afflicted over the so many years of manipulating innocent people with false hopes and promeses from past leaders, that have never been fully delivered because of personal gread and corruption.
I can`t say enough.
One final word, Glenn Beck, there are pledged deligates, super delegates, and super idiots, and you fall under the third category. YOU SCAPE GOAT.
William

It is very cowardly opportunistic to wait until the last minute and surprisingly endorse the candidate almost sure to be chosen as the nominee…
I was a very enthusiastic supporter of John Edwards until today…Why didn’t you John Edwards announce your endorsement months ago?…
Any respect I had for you before has evaporated today…
And you leaders of the democratic party out there, if you think we (long time) democrats are going to vote for Obama just because he is the chosen candidate, you all are wrong…
Not all republicans are like George Bush and his friend Cheney…Many of us (also democrats) have a lot of respect and admiration for John McCain, even if we don’t agree with some of his ideas…
Wait and see in November and the cruel reality will hit the democratic party very hard…the media bubble of celebrity status created around Obama will soon burst…
A new phenomenon will arise is that of the “McCain democrats”…whether you want to believe it or not…at least all my relatives and friends are clear about it…

Please dismiss Hillary Clinton’s assertion that only she can win the swing states against McCain. In the 1990 primary, Bill Clinton lost Arizona, New Hampshire, Mass, Maryland, Deleware, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Iowa, and Colorado to the other democratic candidates in the primary. However, in the general election later that year against Bush senior, Bill won all those states except South Dakota and Arizona. My point is that Obama will be able to win many of the states in the contest against McCain that he lost to Hillary in the primary including possible swing states.

Oh happy day!! Now it’s Hillary turn to joing the party.

This from the man who, on Larry King, said it was not appropriate to declare WHO he would back on MONDAY this week. Now after Hillary’s HUGE win in W. Virginia did he decide to back the other candidate? SMELLS OF POLITICAL FAVORS/ ” I SCRATCH YOUR BACK , YOU GIVE ME THE VICE-PRESIDENT SEAT!!! Way to go Edwards.
Like James Carville said earlier on that voters, in the voting booth, dont care WHO endorsed WHO. Man’s a genious!

Too bad. I was an Edwards supporter from the beginning, as was my family. We loved his populism, which now has become opportunism. I have no respect for this. This has been a strange election. My 27- year-old daughter and my 19-year-old son are privileged to have been a part f an election where American people had their say. But the Democratic party seems intent on denying the people their power. Respectfully, it is not the party–or the media–that matters here. It is the people, Always the people, Listen to them. I’ve lost respect for Howard Dean. I’ve lost respect for CNN. Now I’ve lost respect for Edwards. He had the right to endorse anyone. I don’t like the timing. Shame on him. We’ll never believe in him again. And we are the people. We are not statistics.

How sad Edwards, just another fake!!! Well at least Dems are taking back the House and Senate they will restrict McCain until 2012 when we can hopefully get it right. Obama will not go to the White House. His supporters have bullied his way to the nom., now McCain will go to the White House, I have no problem voteing for a true American Hero over a racist, self serving, divicive blow hard. No substanc only ot air.

I think the demoractic party have lost thier mines, wanting to decide the nomination before everyone has voted. If this happens may 31 I will never vote a demoractic ticket again, and I have been a democrate allmy life.I will vote REPUBLICIAN OR NOT VOTE. Obama is for change, well thats all you will have left is a little change in your pocket. if you vote for him.

Now McCain can pack his bags and grab his walker and go home, its all over for him but the crying and I really can’t stand to see a old man cry, [6 months of crying] is more then the people can stomach! Go home McBush!!!!!!

Edwards for VEEP!!!

Edwards indorcement is great! He is a Honest Man. I was for him before he drop out, and always new in my heart that he would be backing Barack Obama, One honest man with enough time would see another honest man.
Yes…We..Can.

Wow! My first reaction was how much did Obama either pay him or promise him. My second reaction was that this will make an exit for HRC easier. I liked Tom Forman’s doors the other night. I think that Hillary should ride this out gracefully to the convention. She can position herself for 2012. There is no need for any other action. As for Obama, Al Gore did not use Clinton to help him with hiscampaign and Edwards did not even carry his own state with Kerry. We all know what happened in those elections. Mr. Obama, I think you are a fool. I think now that Edwards is with Obama, the rest of us 15,000,000 HRC supporters can relax and stay home in Nov..

Good for Edwards!!! Its about time. I wish that people would start talking about Hillary’s obligation to the party to help bring in her so called demographic groups. If she wants her campaign debt paid off she has to bring this to the table. There is no reason Obama should lose in November if she lives up to obligation as a member of this party. But then again, she said she would abide by the DNC rules concerning Michigan and Florida, now she wants to count this as part of her total of popular vote. Obama was NOT on the ballot so she won by default. Or is because of the Clinton reign and she should be able to count an election where she was not opposed. Start asking her the hard questions, what would happen if she were in the White House, renig on her promise to bring the troops home because it seems to be the convenient thing to do? She has got to go home, take a break and then come out swinging for her party’s nominee. thank you

As a democrat committeeperson, I have not been able to convince myself to vote for Obama.

Especially when his campaign was so intent on holding FL and MI back from a revote. Now he dismisses his loss in WV and upcoming in KY to set the bar low, as if they do not matter either. Can you imaging if Hillary would have said NC is not my base so who cares? When he visited our area, he did not give people who were on the fence a reason to vote for him. In fact he was cold and even snubbed those that were Clinton supporter but were looking for good reason to say “ya know I like Hillary, but Barack is my second choice. He really blew it. These would have been the same people that would have work hard for him this fall and he snubbed them.

Edward SAID that he had already placed his VOTE, so he already KNEW who he was backing!!! He seen WV’s were being raciest, and that is not what our country needs!!!

Funny, but Edwards couldn’t stand Obama when they were competing against each other. Edwards said that Obama was completely inexperienced, hypocritical, and was an example of poor leadership. My, how things change when you’re paid well enough to do an endorsement.

Obama states he has been in 57 states in the United States .The last account I had there was 50 states I don.t know what country he is traveling in. I guess Edwards has to vote with Screaming Dean and Pelosi. I did not know Edwards was so gulible. I did vote for him but now I want my vote back . I think I should have a say in my delgates choice. My choice is not Obama.

I find it completely laughable that the very men who have been denied the presidency (EDWARDS, RICHARDSON, DODD, KENNEDY, KERRY) are literally lining up to endorse the only MAN left in this race.
I would like all Americans to note this. I would ask anyone who feels as i do, that it is wrong for the only female candidate left in the race to be denied the nomination simply because these men cannot stand the idea of a woman holding the office that was clearly denied to them.

I would like for anyone sharing this view to donate to Hillary Clinton tonight. Wether you like her or hate her, she has the clearest vision for our country, and where our country needs to be.

I just donated again to Hillary, lets see it out to the end people. if she is still willing to get out there against all of these democratic men who are going out of their way to take this away from her, then i am willing to give her the $$ to do it.

by the way,Edwards is a complete flip flopper, he certainly won’t be giving this white working class male’s vote to Obama, ever!

Why do people think voters in Florida and Michigan have been cheated? The DNC warned the party officials in those states not to break the rules and they did anyway. Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan. The party officials broke the rules and these are the consequences. Their party officials in those states should be punished by losing their positions. Who knows how those elections would have turned out if they were conducted properly and fairly? Since the answer is unknowable, so I suggest King Solomon’s solution (i.e., split the delegates 50/50 Clinton/Obama).

John King and Wolf Blitzer,

Sorry about your losses. However hard you try to show that Obama is damaged hence Clinton has a better chance or when that fails Obama should offer Clinton the veep spot, he will march on unfazed by your frontal attack. The sooner you get over your loyalty to your former masters and get on with the program the better. The only damaged good in this primary fight is the CNN brand. You may not know this but you come across as hopeless and delusional. CNN, IT’S OVER! It’s over for your shrill and pathetic candidate and “Dukakis” has won. Nuts!

United, we are one Great Nation, divided we fall. Today, John Edwards took one large step, supporting Barack Obama. Tomorrow, more will follow. Soon, it will be a flood of Super Delegates.

In the coming election, you can help turn this Great Country in the correct direction, bring both sides of the aisle together, and great things will happen. Money will be kept in the Country, not tossed overseas in a multitude of blank checks. It is time to take a stand, and tell the Administration, “No More”. The typical politics, pandering, lobbying, and gridlock have got to end, and NOW. It is your Country and every other good patriotic Americans’. You will be heard. It is TIME, the FUTURE is NOW. Our problems are so large, we CANNOT WAIT any longer.

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA !

This Country WILL stand proud! United for all.

Both senators Obama and Clinton have been clear on their positions and what their policies would be…this in mind, I can’t help being dismayed by the timing of former candidate Edwards’ “endorsement” of Obama.
While I would like to believe that Edwards’ efforts are to help close the democratic race and allow the nominee to move ahead against McCain, if Sen Obama offers the vice presidency to Mr. Edwards (should he finally win the nomination and Sen Clinton concedes) I’m afraid I may have to reconsider my support of the democrats.
This would raise real ethical issues with both of these gentleman’s motives and judgement.
I’m a staunch democrat and strongly supported Gore and Kerry against the incompetence that we’ve dealt with in the White House for the last 8 years, but as a gay man I’ve already experienced 8 years of no representation, and I’d have a problem supporting a ticket that ignores the choice of nearly half of the dems that have gone to the polls.

its funny that the only candidate who has been endorsed by a man who has actually one the presidency is Hillary. we still love You Bill!

Although the Edwards endorsement is a huge deal, the far greater coup was where the event was held. The Van Andel Arena appeared to be filled to capacity and it is a huge venue…in the heart of the most fire engine red, Republican area of Michigan!

Oh John, I hope the payment is worth it because you have lost my respect. Only 3 more weeks and the party is not being ruined while the last few states vote.

I am hopeful that the Democratic Party will come together and support our nominee. I am an Obama supporter, but if Clinton wins the nomination, I will support her. It saddens me to see that Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama. People seem to forget that Obama is a viable candidate because he has the education and vision to take this country in a better direction…he just happens to be black. Oh, by the way, did everyone forget that he is half white?

i think that the media does a great disservice tothe voters when there is so much talk about barack obama being the first black man elected president. maybe the media could also focus on the fact that he is also half white.

Maybe John Edwards wants to run again in 2012. Obama will lost this fall.

I’ve never been more disappointed in John Edwards as I am today. These endorsements should have waited until the Democratic race was over. Maybe he thinks he’ll get the VP spot? Either way, I think people should pay serious attention to those of us who say we will NOT vote for Obama if he is the Democratic Nominee. I won’t vote Republican, but neither will I vote for Obama, with Edwards behind him or not. If Senator Clinton is not the nominee, then I say let the Republicans win and deal with the mess they’ve left behind after 8 years of Bush Junior! And as a MI resident who is angry that her state party messed this up, i do hope that our delegates will at the very least, be seated at the convention. What a mess!

1. HE KNOWS THAT OBAMA WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
2. HE KNOWS THAT OBAMA CAN’T WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
3. HE KNOWS THAT HILLARY WILL TELL EVERYONE “I TOLD YOU SO”
4. HE KNOWS THAT HILLARY WILL RUN IN 2012
5. EDWARDS WILL RUN AGAIN IN 2012
6. HE KNOWS THAT NOW OBAMA WILL HAVE TO ENDORSE HIM IN 2012 AS PAYBACK.

Edwards knows this and he is making a calculated move. Obama’s supporters may end up blaming Hillary for Obama’s loss of the general election and, an Obama endorsement of Edwards in 2012 can make him the Democratic Nominee.

And of course, once again… THE DEMOCRATS WILL FAIL IN WINNING THE PRESIDENCY, AGAIN.

P. Foxworth, Chigago, IL

Wow, for a man who wasn’t ready to make a decision, that didn’t take long. That really was a stab in the back, talk about traitor, this is a very smart women. Is it like it was in the debates, the men against the women? Are you guys afraid Sen Clinton will get the headlines for a day or two, therefore she might get the momentum for good. One thing for certain from what Mr Cooper just said he and everyone at CNN wants her out . Sure nice to have such objectivity at a so called news network , of course Carl Berstein and the rest of your pundits are all bias against Sen Clinton,so I figure the reason is because the network is bias toward her. If this continues to play out like this, so unfair, Mr McCain will get another vote. You people don’t understand IT’S THE UNFAIRNESS OF THE MEDIA, not really the candidates.

Just tuned in and caught the end of your red/blue electoral map discussion on the swing states before commercial break. Chalk up WI for an Obama win. The latest local polls have Obama beating McCain here in WI but Hillary losing to McCain. These polls were taken after the Rev. Wright scandal part 2, but before Obama’s big win last week and obviously before the Edwards endorsement. I am calling WI for Obama. Even my VERY Republican husband may vote for him.

it is amazing that Obama has such a popularity no matter his misspeaking ( the latest “sweetee” = a little bit too close to call a reporer this way …she is not his “sweetee”, she is professional).
He does not seem to say things right, and still people go for him…any idea what is this attraction?
It is so sad that this country is afraid of a woman to be a leader.

One inept politician endorsing another inept politician equal 2 inept politicians, both losers.

Guess the two of them call each other sweetie when they are alone doing whatever.

I am an educated African American who is supporting Obama because I believe he can make a change. Just for the record, African Americans are not the majority in this country. Obama cannot have more superdelegates, pledged delegates and the popular vote, just based on the “black” vote. He is someone who can bring this country together. Let’s focus on his policies, not his race.

You can bet one thing, I have voted Democratic for 35 years I will never vote for Obama ……… he lived and ate Rev Wright for twenty years ………..leopard never changes his spots. Hillary suporter or Mccain

I also want to say that I am so tired of being a racist for not supporting Obama. I don’t think he is experienced enough and we’ve had 8 years of a president learning on the job; I don’t know how he acts under pressure; and I also do not like his stand on my principle issues of health care of all and building a strong, sustainable economy. If those reasons make me a racist, then maybe I actually am one.

I don’t get it?edwards said he would endorse someone who has the same ideals as him. Why ?obama he believes in late term abortions, he is not for universal health care. he does not connect in any way with the working and middle class. he has associates of corrupt people and he has not given the people specifics about what change is going to be or how he is going to pay for it. he is against everything edwards questioned him on in the debates. so my question is if obama has not changed has edwards speaches on the debates been lies and not what he believes in?

Thank you, John Edwards for endorsing someone who really wants unity and economic strength again in this country, like some many of the other bloggers, politicians, and voters don’t want. I don’t think the problem with Senator OBAMA is not reaching the white working class but it’s the media’s trying to isolate Senator OBAMA from the working class by over play the Reverend Wright situation 100 times a day. I don’t think Senator OBAMA ’s issue is not reaching the WHITE WORKING CLASS IN WEST VIRIGINA INSTEAD, THE WHITE WORKING OF WEST VIRIGINA IS NOT WILLING TO REACH OUT TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN THEIR OWN RACE, AS WE KNOW 90% OF WEST VIRIGINA IS CAUCASIAN, SO GO FIGURE.

GO OBAMA 2008

Edwards is not bringing anything new to the table, except one more liberal elitist promoting the candidate of the political left of the democratic party. Barack needs to convince me through ideas, not charismatic substance empty speeches. Right now McCain looks more promising and if he emphasizes the economy and the environment as Hillary has so far, I already know where my vote will go in the fall.

I am a 60 yr. old white woman who will not vote for Hillary Clinton if Obama is not the nominee. I live in MN & know lots of 55-65 yr. old women in MN who will not vote for Clinton either.
Mary from MN

Can someone tell who is Obama. And do you think he really would have divorced Wright if Wright wouldn’t acted out?

I am utterly disappointed and dismayed that Edwards joined those who thought they needed to prematurely endorse before all the states had voted! HILLARY has millions of supporters — I am one of them — and we do not want to vote for Obama. HILLARY is our candidate for the nomination. I think that the woman the other night when Erika interviewed a group of them said it well — People may be taken by the idea of Obama but not by the ideas of Obama. That speaks for me! Hillary, on the other hand, has ideas and experience. I’ve advocated all my activist life for a woman in the White House as President. Hillary is the one!

Please stop saing you don’t believe we won’t vote for obama cause
I can guarantee you that no amount of money could coerce me or
10 members of my family to ever vote for obama. You all just keep
pushing him on us and John McCain will certainly be our next
president. If we have endured 8 years of bush, we can surely
endure 4 of McCain. NEVER OBAMA, NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you John Edwards…the democrats are coming together at last. Carter and Gore are next, and yes Hillary we need you too!

Obama 08

Wow, Ii got here kind of late and am trying to catch up, but I can’t believe all the hateful remarks about Edwards from the Hillary supporters. Would you have the same opinions if he had endorsed your candidate? Don’t worry about him being on the VP spot on the ticket, he will be much better suited for a prominent cabinent position and would probably prefer it. I thought the politicalticker comments were getting bad, but now even the AC comments are starting to sound like the Jerry Springer Show.

Another traitor. I know John Edwards does not hole the same values as Obama. I think he is a man of much higher standards but obviously the party has pressured him too. Erica is so wrong. I am a female Hillary supporter who will never support Obama due to the fact that I do not trust the man. I think the Democrats have sold out all of us except for the Obama supporters. I am adamant about this. The pasrty has lost alot of support here in Michigan. The Dems made a choice and they have disavowed Mi and all of the women who were Dems. But yes they will keep the Black vote. I want Hillary to run as an Independent but for some reason she wants to support this party that has done nothing but trash her. Now they have the audicity to think maybe she could be the VP The woman standing beside the man again even though she is much more qualified, I still would not vote for that man Obama even if he put on Hillary as VP, It is a nothing job.

I will not vote for Obama…..peroid, but rather vote for McCain out of spite and applaud when he wins. When the “chickens come home to roost” I’ll be the first to say I told you so, you made your own bed now lie in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep hearing over and over that the democrats that are Hillary supporters who say they will not vote for Obama will come back to the party. This will not happen with me. I’ve seen enough to make me turn away from the party, especially now with John Edwards endorcing Obama. What a joke. This is one democrat that will forever turn away from the party and I am not over 60 years old.

I think that Edwards endorsing Obama is awesome!! Seeing the Democratic process in motion is comforting. Finally the best man will win. Hey Edwards looks like VP material to me. The only other thing to make it better is having Colin Powell but have wishful thinkin

Barack Obama is not just black. He represents the whie and the black. He was brought up by a white mother and white grandparents. See him as representing both White and Black Americans. See his platform as the unity he embodies.

I am not sure that I like what John Edwards did. Perhaps that’s because I am rooting for Hillary. Edward’ s timing, to me, is quite suspicious. Plus, I don’t think that it is his duty to so-call deliver the “death blow” to the Clinton campaign. Who ordained him to be the decider of when Clinton is to end her bid? And, perhaps Edwards himself is bucking for the VP spot with Obama. LISTEN TO ME — I think that a whole lot of folks are going to be sorely disappointed and hate themselves if they put Obama in the White House! He is bad news! Just watch! Hillary is a mother, a caring woman — and she really would be a far better President than Obama. Plus, not all those votes cast for Obama are FOR Obame. Many of them are actually FOR McCain. Alot of folks feel that if they put Obama up against McCain, McCain would prevail. Somehow, people know that only Hillary is the best match for McCain.

Obama and Edwards are one hot ticket - no doubt now about who the running mate should be!!!

It’s funny how the losers such as Edwards and Kerry want to live vicariously through Obama. Edwards, the professional losing candidate. I would not let him touch me with a ten foot pole if I were a candidate.

I was so very sad this evening when I heard that Edwards’s had announced which canidate that he had chosen to endorse. It is just another example of all the political games that are played. It is also an another examle of what is wrong with the Democratic Party.
And as a life-time Democrat it leaves with with a difficult decision. Do I not vote at all, do I vote for John McCain or do I vote for Senator Obama. At this point in time I believe that I will not vote because as we have seen in the past-it really does not matter. The powers that be have already made up the race. I will blame several for the Democratic loss in the next election. And all that the los means to America. I also blame the some of the major News Orginization’s because they helped with their own behavior. That is all I have to say except we must deserve what we get and that Hilliary Clinton would have been the best choice for America. She really needs to tell the America people-to “Take this Job and Shove it.”

And we are going to possibly have a president who thinks we have 57 states,and sat under a pastor for 20 years who doesn’t remember being there.What is happening to America?Are we so blind and eager to beleive someone can snap their fingers and it’s going to change,are we that desperate?

Well isn’t John Edwards the one who pays 400.00 for a hair cut and then says how sorry he feels for the poor people.
Obama needs Edwards too get the white collar workers, the ones Obama he blew off in West Virgina and the one’s that he doesn’t want too be bothered with, oh yea , and the one’s he stopped from voting because he thought they might vote for Clinton.

raiyn you need to google popular vote…. it is not the number of “regular” delegates you have. might help you to understand the number crunching they do

This campaign has been more like a circus. Obama hasn’t explained
how he will make changes to our health care programs or how he intends to end the war in Iraq. I don’t think I could in good conscience vote for him. I also think the race card has bee played far to much. I think that Hillary has far more experience then Obama. We all have
excess baggage . what is in the baggage shouldn’t have any barring
on their ability to do their jobs, and if it did then there would be alot of
people without a job.

I have to agree that this is a political play by Edwards/Obama. And who really cares what Edwards thinks anyway. He clearly is not electable and would make a terrible choice for VP.

Why not just let everybody vote! The media is suffers from attention deficit disorder. Let’s have a little patience.

Or perhaps the good ole boys in the Democratic party have decided to promote the furthering of our patriarchic society by squashing the candidacy of the most intelligent player in the race! I certainly will be sitting this one out in November.

The Republicans have serious problems. The War, the economy, health care etc. I have yet to hear the Republican solutions to these problems. If they have solutions they should start letting us know about it.

Today I watched an interview with President Bush. He actually eluded to the fact that he gave up golf as a sign of respect for the soldiers who gave their lives in the war. What? First of all how does one make such an analogy and second he never gave up golf.

We are in Iraq for oil. Americans were lied to and we are still being lied to. McCain is a continuation of Bush and that is why the Democrats will prevail.

Trish

When I look at the candidates I am color blind. If you close your eyes and listen to each candidates ideas and ideals, you too would select Obama for President. Try it!

So the loser that couldn’t carry his own state in the primaries has joined the other loser. BIG DEAL!!!!!

It is obvious why the Obama camp and all the pundits are trying to pressure Hillary to drop out now. The truth is that they are shaking in their pants because they see their wagon heading straight for the cliff and the only ones that are getting on his train are the people that have a invested interest on his candidacy (Corporate America) but thousands of Americans across the Country are having second thoughts about Obama and are turning away from his rhetoric.

WOW, what an accomplishment! We have a lot of people who hate because Obama is ahead and endorsed by Edwards. I too, follow the news and do my research and I’m elated that Edwards endorsed Obama. I changed my vote a few months back for Obama.and have changed my family’s vote as well. I was appalled of all the criticism Obama received over his former Pastor’s remarks. His Pastor is not running for President. I guess Senator Clinton feels infidelity is OK… what are we telling our children. Cheating on your wife is acceptable. If the President can cheat on his wife and get away with it than it’s OK. No one is perfect- let’s focus on the issues. We need positive change and Obama is my choice. He cares for all walks of life and proved that he supports the Hispanic community by supporting the Dream Act whereas Clinton does not. Many Hispanics that I come in contact with in Fresno, CA have change their vote for Obma as well. I WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA….

When I see Hillary Clinton, I think of the movie Norma Rae. She fought for she and her co-workers to become Unionized and single-handedly changed the safety conditions for the factory she worked in. Yes, she lost her job, but she paved the way for other women to be strong and not give up even when the journey they are traveling gets tough. I want to make it clear that I, too, was going to vote for Obama; however, as I listened to him and actually got to know him I decided Hillary would be the best person for the job. I will not be voting for Obama. Instead, I will be voting for John McCain, whom I abhor, and will encourage anyone who will listen to me to do the same. The Democratic Party may think they can decide a nominee before all the ballots are counted, but I am here to “show” them as long as I am able to vote, I will “vote” for whomever I want. It is no longer acceptable for the Party to decide for me who I am to vote for.

The media and all the male endorsers? Men are too vain in politics to back a woman. Also the tee shirt with Obama,nothing is worse then the cards and shirts that paint Bush as Osoma Bin Ladin.
I think your great Anderson,I mean it!!!!!!

I have been following the race for the past 8 months, I really think it is in the best interest of the democratic party that Clinton, step down from the race, there needs to be a building of the party going into the fall and every day that goes by, the republicans get one step ahead. It is time to accept the will of the American poeple and step down Hilary - PS I am a Canadian

No Hillary??? I’ll vote republican for the first time in 27 years, so will all of my democrat friends….

I am one of those women that will not vote for Obama if he does wind up getting the nomination. All of my female friends also will not vote for him. We are so sick of the one sided presentation of the election process. I used to be a big advocate of CNN, I must now say, I am so disappointed in your reporting of the presidential race. You have been so biased for Obama, and so have the anchors you have selected, I am disgusted!!
Hilary is clearly the more substantial candidate, and once again, a strong woman, with more qualifications is being passed over by a clearly less qualified candidate. There isn’t racism in this country, there is sexism!!!

what a shame. I will NOT vote for barack obama if he is the candidate . And NO that will NOT change. There is not e vidence of substance with him. I will not vote on empty hopes or a veneer. Is he young and hip and affable? Why yes, but so what. I am unimpressed with those qualifications. What is it about the american people that they can’t vote for the most qualified candidate-ever??? I have never been taken in by all the seducation around obama. May I remind everyone that we are voting for the presidency of the united states people, and not the prom king.

Lets see:

George McGovern + presidential bid = loser
Ted Kennedy (Midnight Aquanaut) + presidential bid = loser
John Kerry + presidential bid = loser
John Edwards + vice presidential bid = loser
Good Job democrats, the song remains the same. Once again you will join hands and jump off the cliff together.
Barack Obama + presidential bid = loser

methinks obama / edwards make “dream ticket”
for dems!
edwards provides blue collar support !!??

I am one Democratic woman who will not vote for Obama. I’ve been a Hillary supporter for a year, and I’ve grown tired of pundits and Obama supporters dismissing me as racist and/or uneducated. I support Hillary because she has some depth of experience. Obama has a lot of work to do to earn my vote and the votes of many of my friends. This could be my first vote for a republican. A year ago, I could have voted for Obama, but not now.

BTW. I favor Hillary suspending her campaign, but I do not think she should endorse Obama — at least not right away. To me, it would seem insincere. She should wait it out until the convention in case the party leaders see the light.

Gloria, What is up with bringing up ancient history? Sounds like you blame Hillary for the actions of her husband. I worry much less about whose sleeping with whom than I do about someone that has a self-proclaimed mentor who believes that America is to blame for the spread of HIV and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I think that the whole idea of a mentor is identification of that person as someone who provides guidance and direction to your life.

I am saddened that John Edwards has decided to join the DNC and try to end the primaries. He should have waited another 3 weeks after all the primaries are done. It is amazing the DNC has taken away Michigans and West Virginia’s votes because they voted too early, yet they don’t want the rest of the votes to count even though the primaries aren’t over yet. The DNC will be sorry when a Democrat loses in November. I will either vote for McCain or not vote because the DNC doesn’t care about all voters.

This is such crap! Obama wins a state and he’s all over the news and in papers everywhere…Hillary wins by 41% and the media ignores it in comparison to Obama! On top of that,Obama has to play the Edwards card to try and make up for the huge margin he lost to Hillary with! If Obama thinks he’s getting my vote by offering Edwards VP he is sadly mistaken! I will either vote for the experienced candidate I believe in (HILLARY CLINTON) or McCain will get my vote period!

I am beyond tired of the sexist media hacks like Jack Cafferty constantly belittleing Hillary…It’s Pathetic!

Women have waited a life time to see a woman finally run for president. When Obama joined the race, it became a black man running for president and took the spotlight off of women.
So sad to see this shift when he could have ran for vice-president and kept the democrats in office for 16 years. That’s why he doesn’t have the vote of white women over 50.

Hillary keeps saying that she will not get out of the race because of the people who have financially supported her. How many
