TO HECK WITH THE DNC DON'T STOP HILLARY -- GO ALL THE WAY, YOU HAVE THE POPULAR VOTE AND IN THE END THAT IS WHAT COUNTS AT THE POLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY WHOLE FAMILY WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

The question of the Clinton Dynasty has been answered loudly, NO MORE. Anyone who thinks that Hillary and Bill with all their inside DC contacts would "change" anything need their head examined, or are just unwilling to admit the truth (I guess the Chinese delegation won't be staying in the Lincoln Bedroom in the future as they so often did under Bill "I will not coddle to dictators" Clinton). If Hillary were the VP, and I were Obama, I would have a food tester in the White House, and would send Bill as our envoy to Brazil (I think he'd enjoy himself there anyway!)

I believe in the power of the people. However, as deceiving as the government has made it we are no longer depending on what the little people decide. We are awaiting a dictatorship in which none of us will be free enough to go to the local deli around the corner. I think Mrs. Clinton should take another route all together. I believe she should run as an independent. We all will be there to back her up and just maybe this time an Independent with morals and a desire to help the people will be the next president. So I say FIGHT ON MRS. CLINTON. WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU AND SO ARE OUR CHILDREN.
As for Obama I am pretty sure he is a plot that the Republicans have put to run against McCain so that we would end up with the worlds oldest president.

I am young (28), male and more progressive than most people I know. However, I am a huge supporter of Hillary and always will be. I wish Hillary would have been the Democratic Nominee, but I am happy that a great leader will be there to change the way Washingon works.
Nevertheless it would be unwise for the Obama campaign to strick a revolt to drastically change how Washington works. It is proven Hillary has an insurmountable backing of support and has printed pages in History books. I would like to see Hillary as Vice President and I will work for those who support that goal. I would like to see Barack and Hillary make History together.
Hillary has been there before. She has woken up everyday to how Washington works. Changes are not going to happen over night and Obama would be wise to realize if he is going to make it to be President he should focus on the yin and yang of Washington and the Democratic Americans.

Wow, I really hope she stays in here. If you look at Barack's campaign that he has put on so far he has not really done a very good job addressing the minor attacks that he faced. He alienated voters, such as women and white working class people, who he in fact needs to have support him if he expects to win. He is arrogant, has no experience, and has no chance of winning the election in November. I hope his supporters enjoy McCain as the next president. Hillary is experienced and has done a wonderful job empowering the democratic party. Despite the sexism faced by Hillary she will succeed to the presidency.

Hillary should get out now for the good of the party. It would never work to have her (and Bill) as VP. Obama wants to change the way Washington works. That would not be possible with them in the VP slot. I hope Clinton will do the gracious thing & stop trying for the VP slot.

Could we write Hillary Clinton as a "Write in candidate" if all else fails? What will it take for Obama to realize that it is a Win-Win situation if he does the right thing and at the least offer her the Vice-President position? He cannot ignore her votes that show she won with the most popular votes and especially with the problems with Florida & Michigan. McCain would be blown away with a Democratic ticket of Obama/Clinton.
Please, somehow get this message to his campaign people.
Thanks

She should seek therapy and get a clue as to how many people voted against her in this campaign.
She never has understood that this campaign isn't about her. It's about you and me and 300 million other Americans. 300 million, not just the 17 million who supported her.
She would cripple Obama's Presidency and would seek opportunities to outshine him while in office.

great campa......never mind.
The solo black guy beat the president.

Michael Papaifthmiyuo of AK 8:21PM June 03, 2008

Should Hillary look out for #1 and pursue the nomination until she is completely done? Or should she concede and make life easier for the Democratic party. That's a good question.
At this point, all she can say is she has more popular vote than Obama. We heard those same complaints when Bush beat Gore. But the electoral college counts delegates, and so do the Dems when selecting their nominee. Obama has the lead in delegates, and I think the Supers are going to shift for Obama. I don't think Hillary can win, unless some mysterious new scandal rocks Obama.
