HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so proud of America tonight….history was made. Alot has changed in my lifetime and Anderson’s as well

Way to go OBAMA, we the people are proud of you

What we saw tonight was Hillary Clinton continue her campaign, with a slight change. Now she is campaigning to Obama for the job of Vice President.

I am sadden that Hillary Clinton did not win the Democratic Nomination. I understand that the voters have spoken and I will now support the Obama Campaign. I, we cannot afford the 3rd Bush-McCain term.

Thank you, Hillary.

Hillary is crafty and conniving. She is obviously holding Barack hostage by not pulling out of the race. She is lobbying for the VP job and if he doesn’t give it to her, she will stay in the race until August and pull votes away from him by her non-support of his presidency. She drove home the message that she had 18 million votes and she will try to sway these voters whichever way suits her politically.

Finally Barack Obama has gotten his dues. Too bad that Clinton’s EGO drove her to run such Devisive campaign.. God help this nation if her antics prevents Obama from becoming the next President of the United States. GO OBAMA! CONGRATULATIONS!

Hello Anderson and fellow bloggers!

What is the since of having an election if the super delegates pick who they want in the end. If the people of the U.S. have an election , then it should be the popular vote that says who the people want to run their country. This is why the country is in the state that it is in.

How disappointing of Hillary…she is so concerned with her position that she will not give Obama the respect he deserves. She is persistant at putting herself ahead of the Democratic party. She is selfish even after Obama has praised her in several interview and speeches.

I am overly excited to call Barack Obama my Democratic nominee!

Hillary needs to just concede already. She’s honestly going to hurt the party more than help it. I understand she’s a fighter but the game is over and she lost. She needs to let go of her ego and think about what’s best for the Democratic Party in November and the country as a whole in the years to come.

Hi Anderson…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Much going on tonight, Hillary won South Dakota.

I think it’s a pretty sad state of affairs when the person who gets the majority of the popular vote isn’t the parties choice for president. This once again proves your vote really doesn’t count, especially when Superdelegates and other politicians decide the canidates fate.

Take a look at Michigan and Florida…If it’s a true democratic state and country then why penalize any state or any person for their votes..Great message sent here that your vote doesn’t count since you don’t hold your primary when we want you to!!

I am so happy that this is coming to an end…and we can get on with the real campaign against McCain.

As a former Hillary supporter and current Obama supporter, I’m incredibly disappointed by her speech in NYC tonight. She clearly has no interest in party unity nor anyone’s interests but her own (and getting more money to pay off her debt). She is not the candidate I once admired.

Happy Birthday

Hillary Clinton should drop out like right at this moment and this is coming from me (a serious clinton supporter)

Oh, I really, really hope she doesn’t fight until Denver. As Jeff Toobin just said, “It’s over!”

Honestly Clinton is infuriating……could have been gracious like Huckabee. Obama should NOT offer Clinton VP

It’s been a long and well-fought primary season with two extraordinary campaigns. I think the people have made their choice and are looking forward to an interesting general election. The democratic party has some work to do, but I think everything will work out for them in November. The focus is now on the Republicans who have far much more on their hands than the Democrats.

Obama won and Hillary said she would concede when he reached the winning amount of delegates. And of course she is changing her mind again or the rules should I say.

Superdelegates decided in the smoked-filled rooms anyway! She has won almost everything since March…. how do they decide to “unite” behind Obama when it’s this close? It seemed like no amount of realistic argument could sway the supers…

This “unity” movement reminds me of when everyone got talked into going to war with Iraq…. except then the talk was about “safety”.

I think democrats don’t know how to win. Obama will lose to McCain and Hillary will win in 2012…

On to Denver this shall go.So proud of the compassion and spirit of the most qualified candidate out there.
Did not appreciate David Gergen with his ” defiant speech remark” about Hillary.
Here is a wonderful women.Extend respect and courtesy ,especially when it is overdue .

Happy birthday, Anderson!

So why did Hillary’s crowd think that going to Denver would change the outcome of the race?

I don’t think it hurts the country, if Hillary didn’t concede tonight. It will probably come sooner or later. She’s got to do this on her own terms. She’ll probably do what’s best for the party soon enough.

Now that the primary season is over its time for the Democrats to focus their attention on the McBush and show everyone how bad he is for the country. He doesnt understand the enconomy, healthcare or anything the american people want. Its time that McBush learns that Iraq isnt the only important issue in this election.

Why wouldnt Senator Clinton accept defeat or even congratulate Senator Obama? Why did she choose not to make a choice tonight, what is she waiting on? Wouldn’t have a simple congratulations have been appropriate or mature to say the least?

This is suppose to be Obama’s night and of course Hillary is taking it away from him….let’s hear from Obama!

Happy Birthday Anderson!!

This has been a crazy rollercoaster ride. But now its time to look at the upcoming november election with obama, and mccain.

Congratulations to Barack Obama for becoming the Democratic nominee this year and also for being the first African-American nominee of either major party!

With that said, this is just the beginning of what is expected to be a more passionate campaign especially that he will be pitted against a veteran. Without question, he has his work cut-out for him with John McCain.

If Hillary Clinton is sincere about doing everything she can to support the Democratic nominee, tonight was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate her sincerity. By not conceding tonight and instead highlighting her accomplishments over the campaign she has indicated that her willingness to support Barack depends on what she’s offered by his campaign…very, very distasteful.

Hey Anderson, I want to wish you a “Happy Birthday”… hope you enjoyed your day.

The primaries are getting interesting.

Congratulations to Barack Obama! It was a long and hard road but tonight history was made yet again in this primary. Hopefully Hilary will bow out gracefully and hopefully Obama will chose as his VP the person that will best insure a democrat in the White House on January 20, 2009.

I couldn’t agree with Gergen more.

Happy Birthday Anderson

Isn’t it a historic day for you? On your birthday an African/American is nominated for a president?
I think it’s a great day!!!!
As to this campaign: Let the games begin!! Bring us McCain to win over next!!

Fight on Hillary. Let’s take this to Denver. You are the best shot to beating McCain.

hillary clinton once again shows her leadership skills by winning in south dakota after all polls showed her not winning. i have never voted in my lifetime for a republican by i will not support obama if he chooses anyone else other than hillary. go hillary go!!!!!!!!!!

It is unfortunate the Hillary Clinton ‘appears to be” using her supporters as barganing chips. Very unfortunate. I was fond of Mrs. Clinton, but this tactic is the straw that has broken THIS camels back.

Disrespect for her supportors, disrespect for her competitor, disrespect for teh process and thus the Nation.

Barack and Michelle Obama are so cute……they are so in love and I love them

It’s so exciting that Obama has prevailed. I am member of the Crow
Nation from Montana, and this OBAMA country! When the polls closed
a few minutes ago, people here are already celebrating. Way to go
Obama!

With all the votes Senator Clinton has won, why can’t she run as an Independent?

listen to all the people screaming! This is great!

Michelle Obama Looks great! This should be an awesome speech!!!

I’m so proud of Hillary for sticking with it through all the adversity & fighting to the bitter end.

I would like to congratulate Barack Obama by winning the nomination
to the Presidency for the democratic party. History has been made. May I suggest another comment is why not have a woman as vice-president that would also make history.

Anderson: Happy B-day and best wishes. Health and whatever
you wish for the upcoming year.

@Connie–She did kind of steal his thunder a little bit, didn’t she? Of course I suppose in broader terms she could make the same argument against him.

Obama, the man who will be the greatest president since FDR!

Obama is a good man and I think he would make a good Prez. Lets give this man a change like we give Mr. Bush, …I am a Democratic lets unite beat McCain in Nov.

It will be cool to hear Obama and McCain debate. They are almost complete opposites except for both being in favor of illegal alien amnesty and both believing in man-made climate change

I cannot believe how arrogant Mrs. Clinton is. She acted as though she was the nominee, it was disgraceful.

I hope Sen. Obama does NOT select her.

Congrats Barack Obama! You represent America! I am so proud you. dispite all of the hardships thrown your way, you have have made history, and I know you will be the one to unite this country black, white, latino, native american, african, asian, german, british and many more!!! You deserve this and you are what America is, the MELTING BEAUTIFUL POT!!!!

P.S. Happy B-Day Anderson!

I thought Hillary’s speech was ok. It wasnt what I accepted and she should have conceded she is going have to do it some time. John McCains speech put me to sleep. I am very proud of Barack Obama and as I am sitting here in this moment in history I am proud of America. I think the Democrats have a great chance this fall.

I have waited 16 months to hear those words come out of Obama’s mouth and nothing Clinton said today can take this away from all the believe who believe in Obama

Tonight I am proud to be an american thank you Obama. I also am deeply sadden by Hillary Clinton, after tonight I would not vote for Hillary if she was the last person on earth. Oh by the way I am a woman who see’s change in Obama.

First off I would like to say GOD BLESS AMERICA, and secondly CONGRATS to Obama and all of the supporters. It’s a great day to be an american!

Hi Bill Schneider:

How are you? I hope you are well.

What is the function of the Convention? Isn’t it to determined the final voting process of which candidate will go on to November?

Thank you very much.

I never thought I would live to see this day. I am so proud of the USA. After the darkness of GWB, here comes the light!

Wow! Obama just gave a shout out to Clinton. That’s more we can say for her. Again - - Obama takes the igh road. Ugh. I am so bugged by Clinton’s ego.

WHEW - what a primary - congrats to both remaining candidates - and the process worked. Obama for President

Good evening Anderson. Well we have a nominee for the Democratic party. Time for us all to begin to heal the party and turn a bead on McCain now to beat the Republicans in November. Hope you have lots of good blogs tonight.

Congrats to Obama. The democrats are in good hands. I agree with some of the comments made here, but lets not forget that Hillary has fought hard not just for herself, but for her party and her causes. I’m glad Obama comments on this.

Happy Birthday Anderson! Hope its a good one.

Diane; It would be pointless for her to run as an Independent. Many of her supporters will end up voting for John McCain.

I am so confused by CNN and all the pundits! I thought that the super delegates votes can not be cast until the conventions?? Teh last 2 primaries have not even been tallied yet and you have already given the nomination to Obama. Tehnically the magic number really been obtained yet! I really have gotten fed up with the 24 hour news tring to lead the voters around by the nose by giving us “presumvtive” decisions! God help us if some more negative skelatons come out of Obama”s closet and all of our super delagates now have no way to turn because they have promised their votes way before they should have! This entire system needs to be revamped and I think H.R. 1523 and S.2024 need to be pulled out of the drawer and dusted off and voted into place before the next presidential primary ever occurs!! Look into that bill and let’s write our reprsentitives to put into LAW!

I’m watching now, and Obama’s speech is wonderful. Gracious in the deepest sense of the word: filled with grace.

And Happy Birthday, Anderson!

Your pundits are wrong about Clinton’s speech. She was not “defiant”; she began by congratulating Obama. It stopped just short of being a concession speech. You have to hear it in stark contrast to all her other recent speeches. She never once, as she has in every speech until now, said anything about going all the way. She made it clear that she has backed off of “full speed ahead” and will be considering her options. Of course she couldn’t go any farther than that tonight surrounded by her anxious, adoring supporters. But she was definitely laying the groundwork for a major change in direction.

After just listening to clinton speechand then the comments of the quest. I would like to ask them .What if obama had the popular vote and clinton had thedelegate count due to superdelegates. What would is supporters be saying!

Hillary Clinton’s speech this evening was superb, making me proud to have supported her. she was gracious and inspiring this evening–and supportive of Obama. Like her,I will also be an enthusiastic voter for Obama in November. It’s a shame that several CNN commentators so relish trashing Hillary Clinton and refuse to give her her due– Yet again, the pack mentality characterizes the media. What a pity for all of us.

This is not over yet for Mrs. Clinton. Now is the turning point. Obama supporters give your best to get our attention. But it is too late, we will never vote for your candidate.

Lorie Ann; I wish people would start voting for who is qualified regardless of party affiliation.

Go, Obama! Let’s united as a party!

Hillary supporters, don’t forget Hillary and Obama share more than 90% of similarity in their polices, and if you support Hillary’s policies, then you should choose Obama over McCain, because it is an election about you and your family, not about any other ones.

Barack Hussein Obama has brainwashed millions of people into thinking he is right. Everything he’s said has had NO substance. His empty promise of “change” will only go so far. He will never unite the country, especially with his hate of Bush, McCain, and republicans. The only reason he has only gotten this far is because he’s black, considering 90% of black voters vote for him. Any person who likes Obama either can’t see through his empty politics, or is racist.

It’s exciting to see history being made. I can’t say I’m an Obama supporter, but it is still exciting. I’m looking forward to seeing what America will have to say when November rolls around.

Happy Birthday Anderson. I hope you had one filled with many blessings.

Good speech Obama…lets not put Hillary down thats good he is not.
McCain better be ready when the democratic’s get their stuff together there no stopping us now.

Okay I think we have to be bold and consider the possibility that HC tonite may have launched her campaign as an independent candiate for the fall presidential election. It looks and feels that that may be afoot and since nothing else this season has gone per usual I think we should at least entertain the possibility that she may be thinking this. She appears too determined to be anyone’s second fiddle and she certainly appears emboldened and deferential to no one. At least from my vantage point that’s what I see after hearing her speech tonite in NYC.

Hillary’s speech was great. She and her staff should be very proud of all they accomplished. The pundits on this show should check their emotion before they go on air- their outrage toward Hillary is undeserved and inappropriate. Obama doesn’t have a mandate, he wins, but not by much. Hillary’s supporters do matter in this race.

Happy B-Day Anderson!!!

Congratulation Sen Barack Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is bittersweet because she didn’t concede. I believe it is Sen Clinton’s obligation to help Sen Obama get nominated in November. And she will do her part. I do not believe it is necessary for her to be VP or even in his cabinet to help him win the presidency. It will simply take a little time to let voter’s wounds to heal. GO DEM GO!!!!

Well, first of all I would like to wish Anderson a very happy birthday!!! I hope you day went great!!

I feel honored to be born in this generation and witness such history!!! Congratulations to him!!! Now all the eyes will be on November and hopefully Clinton will help Obama get those voters he could not get and lead the party to victory!!!

I am so sad that AGAIN another candidate has lost even though the popular vote is in HER favor. UGH!

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANDERSON MY FAVORITE NEWS ANCHOR!”

Another option is for Hillary to bolt the party and get Mccain to take her as VP. Obama would have no chance.

If the popular vote and delegate count were switched I would say the same thing and want Hillary, because she is the candidate with the most experience and best judgement for our country.

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! Congrats to you and your team of devoted individuals around you.

Hillary, please do whats right for the democratic party and support Barack and the issues you both hold dear.

Anderson, Happy Birthday and thanks for always delivering great and objective news stories and challenging our public figures.

I really don’t think Hillary will run as an independent. I don’t think that would accomplish anything. & Happy Birthday, Anderson! Hope you had a good day, & many more.

Don’t speak for us all, Jason. I’m a Hillary supporter but I am happy to vote for and support Obama. I know many other that will too.

Congratulations Barack and Michelle Obama! Now its on to November.

it’s not a question of hillary or barack now, it’s standing behind your party and standing strong. if hillary would have won, obama supporters would vote for her in november.

Congratulations to Barack Obama! He is the right choice for the Democratic nominee. I hope all Democrats will realize this after listening to both speeches. Hers was divisive and disrespectful towards Obama. His was uplifting and complimentary towards Clinton. She is despicable!

yeah!!! i am super excited. now thats a change we can believe in
i am very very happy for senator obama

by the way happy birthday anderson
hope its a good one.

Defiance, no grace was Hillary’s speech tonight. I was disappointed she did not start the unification of the party. How sad to see her ego still in first place. Please no Hillary for VP.

Unbelievable! I now believe in a place called Hillaryland, where reality is suspended and self-interest rules over the greater good.

Jo Ann, I agree with you. Voting for the best candidate regardless of party would be the way to go. However, most people are in a patisan cubicle that they refuse to break. And that’s sad.

Clinton’s leadership, ethics, strength and intellect far outshine Obama—-she absolutely should NOT concede. Hillary should challenge thisat the democratic convention on the basis of obama’s extemely poor electibility prospects. This is certainly evidenced by his ridiculously poor showing in almost ALL of the recent primaries. This is evidenced by his continuous poor judgement in associating with and defending racists at his church. furthermore, the democratic party’s decision to unfairly distribute Florida & Michigan’s votes were stacked against her. Frankly, Obama just is not ready for this level of leadership which makes him very dangerous. She, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with and has potential to be one of our greatest leaders.

I am so happy Obama clinched the nomination……Lots of love for Obama up in Canada.

Happy Birthday Anderson. Your b~day is even more historic now

I believe she can still make a good VP. I hope people can get past color and biases and look at the economy and vote party line. If they can’t do that the democratic party doesn’t need them.

Happy Birthday Anderson

It would be political suicide for the Democratic Party if Hillary Clinton was added to the Obama ticket. In her final speech, she said, “I will do whatever it takes to win the nomination. She meant win the nomination for her. Do you really think that after she lost the prize of Democratic nominee that she would work this hard to channel 18 million of her voters to Barack. NEVER. I can guarentee that alot of Democrates will which to McCain. Then you have the Bill factor. Notice if in their enterance to the podium, Bill was on center stage. If she is offer the VP spot, she will try to, if not Bill run the show. Who died and many them the annoited one. She is too dilusional, and divisive to be a true leader. She is in it for her for the title. She would love to be VP simply to manipulate a way for Barack to leave(impeachment or other) so she will be the PRESIDIENT. This will be another Martin Luther King story in the making that never was fullfilled. I pray that American is not this naive!

Obama/Clinton ‘08

sounds good to me!!!!!!!!!!

Janet~ The popular vote does not seem to matter. I was a delegate for my county in TX for Hillary and let me tell you, Obama’s team was well organized for the delegates, Hillary’s was not!
It was not fair, and we had to protest but all the same Hillary did not play the delegates. VERY UNFORTUNATE!

I am a Hillary supporter but let be realistic…Hillary don’t have the delegates that she needs to win. Lets not be sore losers if we don’t vote democratic in Nov McCain will surely win and we will have another 4 years of the Republican party’s policy’s.

Hey, that was a good comment from Senator Obama “we are all Americans first”.

After Hillary’s speech tonight and the fact that she did not acknowledge Obama’s nomination, I’d be surprised if Obama consideres her for VP now.

Congratulations Barack Obama! He has made history and I’m so proud I got to witness this! I hope he goes all the way to the White House!!! Kudos to HIlary Clinton as well!! She may not be the nominee but what a race it was!…Enough of the politics for a bit though…HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDERSON!!!! AND MANY MORE!!! I hope you had an opportunity to celebrate your birthday! And if you hadn’t celebrated yet, here’s to you Andy!! xo

As a Hillary supporter I am happy she is not deciding tonight. I believe it would be an unstoppable force if they combined a ticket with Obama Clinton for 2008.

Should we wait for Denver? Of course not, but she should still fight for VP, after this race, she deserves it.

Right - we are Americans first - perhaps he should speak first to his wife as she hasn’t been proud to be an American until just recently when her black husband got himself into the political arena in a most questionable way.

Reply to Nat- don’t try to say people are racist if they oppose Obama; ever think someone won’t vote for him for other reasons such as his capital gains tax policy or his lack of support and respect for the military and the flag or his socialist plan to tax productive Americans at a higher rate?…

This is crazy!! Obama will not win the peoples vote!! Hillary has experience, plans, and will not get overwhelmed like Obama will. He is much weaker than her. I would would rather have McCain.

United we stand!

Congratulations Senator Obama!

I am glad these primaries are over. Now let the REAL mudslinging start.

Obama has really tapped into the American people’s need for change. I think he is going to have a tough run against McCain, but how exciting is this??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDERSON

As a Clinton supporter who wants to see unity in the Democratic party, I congratulate Barack Obama on tonight’s historic win. He will have my vote come November!

p.s. — Happy Birthday, Anderson Cooper! Hope you had a great day!

Congratulations to Barack Obama.

Anderson:

Happy Birthday!!!

I hope Hillary does not accept the VP nomination and then McCain will win and she can run in 2012 - GO Hillary.

Signed, sealed, delivered! You did it Barack Obama! Yes we can!

The people did not decide a nominee, a bunch of party insiders decided, which is what is destroying the democratic party. I am a lifelong democrat but am now wishing that there was a third party to chose from. Obama and his supporters are arrogant and obnoxious. That is why a large chunk of Hillary supporters are going to have a hard time lining up behind Obama. I have always respected and trusted John McCain and this is why my vote will be for him.

Yes, we are all Americans first. Perhaps we could start with accepting that Republicans, Democrats and Independents are all those Americans Obama speaks of. We aren’t bugs under each other’s feet.

Hillary mentioned 18 million voters came out to vote for her but I believe there were just as many that voted for Obama. It is exciting how many people have been energized during this primary season.

Congratulations to Senator Barack Obama for becoming the first biracial democratic nominee for the presidency of the united states.
God bless America.

Scary, I truly like and will vote for Obama although I am a Hillary supporter. I am afraid McCain will win.

However, I did like Hillary’s bump music (Simply the Best) over Obama’s. Seeing that crowd has got to make McCain a bit uneasy.

I do not agree with all of Obama’s views and strategies, but history is being made today and as a person who believes that this country is in distress, I will support a person who wants change, things can only get better not worse.

Michelle Obama looks dazzling tonight!

Congratulations Senator OBAMA!! another uplifting, positive and uniting speech on this historic and momentous occasion. He is a uniter which is what this country needs. What a breath of fresh air…it’s on to the White House!

I wish this would be a race about the politics instead of a woman canidate vs. a biracial canidate……

Greetings from the CNN Election Center.

It looks like the Clintons’ decision to spend most of the past week in South Dakota paid big dividends there for Hillary Clinton. But Barack Obama — who spent the week traveling to major swing states like Ohio and New Mexico — was behaving more like a candidate who felt as though they might be a potential nominee.

Clinton’s decisions and remarks over the next few days will go a long towards determining whether or not her most loyal supporters will make the journey over to Obama’s camp.

What do you think? Did Clinton’s speech set lay the groundwork for that transition — or signal a less-than-enthusiastic embrace of Obama’s effort?

That was seriously one hell of a speech! It was perfect, couldn’t have been said better than anyone!

Great speech by Obama. I hope he wins in November.

Obama you brought tears to my eyes! This is truly History in the making and the BEST candidate DID win tonight. Hillary please let go of your pride and bring the party together. Your rant is getting old and it is time to support OUR NOMINEE! OBAMA ‘08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama showed us tonight why he deserves the highest honor this land has to offer.

Barack spoke extremely well and was gracious and very dignified even though Hillary did not concede. He is trying to heal the division within the party and move forward.

Congratulations to Barack Obama on clinching the Democratic nomination! His speech was so inspiring; I cannot seem to sit still. I have never been so excited about a presidential nominee or race thus far. He is truly and amazing person and the BEST candidate for president of the United States of America.

Wow. I’m so excited about being a part of History! I can hardly wait until Obama’s inauguration speech in January!

HCs speech was supportive of Obama’s campaign efforts and that was it. He also got points for getting the vote out. She will not let go of the cards in her hand, yet.

What a phenomenal candidate you are, Senator Obama. Take us all the way to the Presidency, please. We’ve been waiting for you!

Im upset that Hillary lost. Even though she has the popular vote the rules are rules so I understand. I’m not an Obama supporter and the only way I’d vote for him is if she’s on his ticket.
Also her speech was extremely moving tonight.

If HRC cannot throw his support behind him as a nominee, how can she support him as a VP? Could she be threaten the democratic party to run as an independent?

He brought me to tears tonight. I was a Hillary supporter but I’m ready for Obama now.

I have lost all respect for Hillary to not admit her cause is now lost and to support her party. To play this ‘I’ll think about it’ game is very disappointing…

Watching Obama tonight would make me proud to be an American!!!
I am a Canadian. living in Canada but following this election with great interest.

How great is this! Congratulations to Barack Obama, our future president. America has spoken, and god bless everyone!

Tonight we are watching history in the making. What an amazing time we live in and what a rich opportunity for growth in our country. I am deeply touched that Barack Obama will lead us into the change for which this country is so ripe.

Humbleness whilst there is greatness is an endearing quality that very few people possess, much less a politician. Barack Obama proved that today in his most admirable speech.

Hi Anderson,

I believe that Hillary Clinton, by not endorsing Obama today, missed a golden opportunity to unify the party and show that her campaign was about the people and the nation and not about herself. I’m disappointed.

Peace

Congratulations Obama!! Thank you for being such a great leader and an inspiration to so many.

From this distance, it seems that Sen. Clinton is an ungracious politician. She had the chance to embrace Sen. Obama and what did she do? Politics is a dirty game and Sen. Clinton is the comsumate political ‘being’

I am a big supporter of either canidate. What are the realistic chances that Obama will have Hillary on the ticket? If not Hillary, who would be the best canidate for VP?

Hello Bill. I would like to commend you personally as I feel like you were one of those at CNN who always acted professionally as there are a few on the set whose biasness comes right out of the TV set.

I feel as if people need to lay of Hillary as she gave the speech as she felt and was not rude or disrespectful. She has made history as well by coming this far as a woman and I think for her great and hard work, she deserves to be on the ticket if she wishes to be.

Obama’s speech tonight was amazing. He is just everything I would want in a leader. I seriously wish we could have him up here in Canada or we could vote for him down there

I think Barack Obama’s speech was very good. He certainly does have that star quality about him. There’s talk about Hilary causing divisiveness in the party but if I was in her position, I wouldn’t just wave my little white flag so quickly. I wouldn’t just concede like that because this was a long primary race. I do think that the media is a little too harsh on Clinton. Give her a break! She’s human like the rest of us.

Exciting speeches and debates on 360 tonight. Obama and Clinton, too. Happy Birthday A.C.

Congratulations to Barack Obama, however as a Hillary supporter, I will not vote for him in the fall. My vote will be cast for John McCain.

Congratulations to our future president! What a class act you are, Senator Obama. Hillary, on the other hand, behaved like a complete buffoon and a sore loser. She should be ashamed of herself. Thank God enough people saw who the RIGHT nominee should be.

David Gergen, come’ on. Obama’s speech was far superior to even Bill Clinton’s best. And President Clinton was and is the best in a generation - no doubt about it.

But I might have to look back to Abraham Lincoln to find a leader who could, with the power of his oratory, so help move the nation forward and away from factional disintegration.

(IMHO, of course).
– p

Will Obama actually follow thru like reagen did? He gave a very well spoken speach and has won my support. Hopefully he will walk the walk…

I am so excited for Obama and the constituents he has attracted to his campaign. His speech was uplifting, respectful, and gracious. Who could not love this man and what he embodies? He is a true American! and one I’m proud to call my brother…

God bless Obama, his family, and this great nation we call America.

As usual, Hillary’s speech was all about Hillary (”What does Hillary want?”), while Obama’s was about our nation and what we as Americans want. How refreshing — a leader who proposes to lead, not a politician interested in more power for herself.

You are a class act, Barack. Your appreciation of others, from those that oppose you to the love of your grandmother, is a resounding signal of the maturity and wisdom many feared you lacked. While you shine as a beacon in these broken times, you are first to exalt the very people for whom your light gives hope and inspiration.

Well done tonight and through this race. You are living proof the high road reigns supreme.

Hey Anderson I will never vote Obama. I am hoping Hillary runs Independent. I think the race should go to who has the most votes. Hillary had the most votes in the end it is wrong that the party treats hillary like this after being in the party 20 years or more. I will vote mccain if she doesn’t run as Independent.

I’m a Latina independent woman who has supported Obama from the beginning of this campaign. This was not easy for me because there was a woman in the race and I would have loved to have seen a woman elected to the highest office. I am so glad i was never persuaded to support her because she is a woman because she has proven to be selfish, a sore loser, and an extremely divisive person. Please, Obama, do not pick her as a VP. This would be terrible for your administration. This woman talks about public service but is only out for herself and her personal goals. Obama will bring us all together. You watch.

Congratulation Barack Obama,

I was at the 75000 + Portland rally several weeks ago and I can honestly say that I have never seen Americans so fired up politically. Hillary ran a great campaign, whether we agree with each and every aspect of it, it matters not, what matters is that Barack Obama will win the nomination.

Likewise being a huge Barack Obama supporter I would hope that he consider Clinton as a running mate. However, not at the end of an 18 million inch knife. I just hope that we can finally resolve this and move on to beat McCain. I believe and have faith in the American people and I do think that Clinton supporters will support Obama despite their candidate not being the nominee. You just cannot justify not voting in the face of the possibly impending doom that is John McCain.

Washington and Oregon are with you Obama 08!!!

Clinton’s remarks was very powerful tonight. I hope the media will value it and let her be. I dont think the media should read too much into it. We need to heal the party, but with too much negativity from the CNN panel can do more harm than good. Lets give her a little time. Obama is not in a worry, he respected her decision tonight. give her the honor due to her.

Change has come and has a long way to go but this is a great stride to the America, Americans believe we can be. As a first time voter I feel like I have made a difference in this primary season. The exciment of change needs to be maintained for true change to occur. Congratulations Senator Obama you are a symbol of the American Dream.

What a great night for this country. That being said, it is a shame that Hillary chose to make the comments that she did. She is the most devisive person in the democratic party at this moment. Obama cannot choose her for vp as long as she continues to spout her vitriol. We have a chance to truly make this country great again and she is so self centered that she cannot leave her ego behind. What a shame.

I am disappointed with CNN tonight. Barack did not mention or use race as a factor in his speech, so why out of all people, does CNN have to interview Jesse Jackson. What relevance does he have in any of this. There are more advantageous was to cover all the angles of this historic night.

Thanks for joining us, Mr. Bill Schneider. In answer to your question, I don’t know what to make of Hillary’s speech. I think she’s sort of in denial; can’t say I blame her. In the end, I hope she will reach out and work towards bringing the party together.

Happy Birthday again, Anderson! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Bill Schneider, I think that HRC’s speech was very disheartening. I hope that she comes to the realization that her time is over and now is the time to unite the party for November.

Barack Obama again rose above the history of the moment and exhibited presidential grace by putting aside politics, personal achievement and graciously extended the bridge of unity to the Clinton campaign. Clinton MUST take stock and quickly stand up and do what is best for America and the Democratic Party

Wake Up Media!

Your job is to report the news AS IT HAPPENS. When you crossed the line into telling us, the American people, what WILL happen next, you took yourselves out of the jobs you are hired to do, and, you are putting yourselves into a very embarrassing situation. Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton are shattering the mold of “political campaigns as usual”. If you smart journalists don’t starting getting back to reporting the news as it happens instead of trying to tell the candidates what they should do next, you will just end up wiping egg off your faces while the rest of us turn away from your display of false influence that you all think you have over us. You know better than any of us, there are many choices for getting, sharing and commenting on news. As a former member of the news media, I strongly suggest you get back to what you are trained and paid to do - report the news, not try and mold the news.

Obama didn’t just speak to the Democrats, or America. he spoke to the WORLD!!!

Sen. Obama was so presidentiall, classy. elegant and gracious. Just what this country needs to get us together.

He never needs to wear a flag pin to know he loves this country.

What a night! What a man! What a future president !

Choose well those who are around you!

What a funny and great moment between Donna and Anderson just now. That’s why I love watching AC360!! Have a good night everyone and congratulations to both Barack Oabma and Anderson

I will keep this as Real as it gets. Obama will not Win unless Hilary is VP.

Ms Clinton ,Please drop the Ego and unite the party . We still Have work to do . Obama live up to the promise of change .

Game Over - Let the Man Roll Up His Sleeves - and GO to Work!
