    Hillary lost all respect when she refused to gracefully step down Tuesday night. How can such a selfish and ME person be expected to run or help run this country. Male or Female has no bearing on such selfish and refusing to accept the truth actions.

      Who's respect? Would that be the respect of you? No big loss, I'm sure. She hasn't lost the respect of the millions of people who voted for her. She did receive more votes than Obama, remember?

      • Posted By: hillary1973 @ 06/08/2008 7:09:24 PM

        By who's flawed math did you count those votes? If children did math like the kind you are eluding to they would fail 5th grade.

          Hillary has the popular vote when counting Florida and Michigan. You have obviously been watching too much FOX News or you would be aware of that fact.

            TWO STATES THAT DID NOT COUNT; INCLUDE, THE CAUCUS STATES THAT HILLARY IGNORED.

        WHAT RESPECT DOES MR. BUBBA WEENIE HAVE FOR HIS WIFE ?

        OH ! I GUESS THAT IS NOT TO BE SPOKEN BY WICKED WITCH AND HER SUPPORTERS.

      • Posted By: loriw @ 06/08/2008 7:09:03 PM

        Lost my respect when she didn't step down on Tuesday, lost my respect when she was 40 minutes late to speak on Saturday (I got up early, worked late shift night before) and didn't apologize or step down again, lost my respect when she suspended her campaign so people can still send her money and she can still hold her delegates hostage. And that's only the reasons since Tuesday!!!!!

    • Posted By: AmericaToday @ 06/08/2008 6:20:14 PM

      Get over yourself. She just endorsed Obama-what else do you want? Would you expect Obama to concede immediately after an almost 2 yr campaign? Of course not. You're just another Hillary hater spewing hate.

    "People", and I use the term with disrespeck , are really stupid if they think it really matters what they think about h. clinton and her run for the highest office in this country. She had no business trying for the presidency because of all the crap her husband did in the white house and she just "went along for the ride". I'm certainly glad there was an upstart to run against her and her "husband". Sorry folks but there is NO RESPECT for him or her. How can anybody forget what he did and she just "let it go on by". I hope there are still some people who have "common sense" and giving her a vote of confidence shows how backward this country has become.

    Hillary would have won the nomination had she not been sandbagged by the media. It amazes me that a one term Jr. Senator gained media blitz support with his silver-tongued rhetoric based on a catchy phrase of "CHANGE." It would be funny were it not sad there are so many people willing to be duped by a word without substance. The only change I've seen in Obama is from not wearing a lapel pin flag to wearing one , rejecting his church because it hampered his run, giving back contributions to a now convicted crook and friend. All actions discovered unhealthy to his run were 'CHANGED' after the fact!

  • Posted By: peaceatlast @ 06/08/2008 3:42:20 PM

    It is you, the media, that killed Senator Clinton's campaign! Senator Clinton was the best of all of the candidates. She won 17.5 million votes from men and women despite drawing out the nation's misogyny in all its jeering glory! The media commentary from Newsweek staff, who appeared on MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Tucker Carlson, NPR's staff, and especially Keith Olbermann, that consisted of snickering belittling of women was absurd! It wasn't just men though, Senator Clinton's campaign revealed the female sexism that is rampant in this country! We had to hear about her clothing, her hair, her weight, her laugh and cleavage! Jealous unfulfilled women like Maureen Dowd and Air America's Randi Rhodes should be banished from media reporting! However, women in this country identified with Senator Clinton because the the ever-present glass ceiling, sexual harassment, unequal pay for equal work, and years of not being respected either at home or in the workplace! The USA is a patriarchial society, and people are fed up with it, and the sexist nastiness splattered across the media, websites and blogs! There is a huge myth that exists in this country that all that stands in women's path is women themselves. After Senator Clinton's campaign, you know this is not true! Leave Senator Clinton alone! Senator Clinton is a tireless, tough, supersmart woman who should have been our President! Why not, Newsweek, report on President Bush and Dick Cheney to see what mischief they are up to, or is that forbidden? Also, don't even attempt to make your nasty article above seem to be fair by attaching many female names to it!

      BUT, THE POINT IS SHE IS DEAD ! THATS GOOD ! NOW MOVE ON AND ELECT OBAMA PRESIDENT.

        Pond Scum? Are you talking about BHO? He is the only one left in the race. No experience, no values, no sponsored legislation, no committee hearings by his committee, answered "Present" 124 times rather than a yea or nay while a member of the Illinois state house, no proposed solutions to our problems (like the president has power to put these things in place - the senate and the house have to pass them. Pres can sign, veto, or just let it become law) a real empty suit. HEAP BIG SMOKE BUT NO FIRE! BHO says that we live in the greatest nation ever. Byt "join him for change. It the nation is so great, what is there to change? He has no concrete proposals, just flowery words and phrases of 3 - 4 words each.

    Is it not true that the overall popular vote of the America voters went to Clinton? What do the voters haved to do to get their votes to count. Why do the delegate have to be used now that we can all have our votes counted? The electorial college has out lived its usefulness. A retired senior citizen.

  • Posted By: jojoowens @ 06/08/2008 8:46:21 PM

    I look forward to 2012. I want Hillary to run again. I would also like the delagates to go away. We are not the same country as we were when they first were done. I believe every voter's vote should count. I am a vetran and was not going to vote for McCain just because he was. I do not call myself a democrate not a republican. I vote for the person I feel would be the best for the job and felt Hillary was the best, not just because I am a woman. With their view being very simular, I feel Hillary with her experience would have been the best candidate for President. If this was done as a regular job, Hillary would have won over Obama. People need to get over Man, Woman, Black or White. We as a country need to wake up and smell the coffee. And it needs to be strong coffee.

    • Posted By: The "O" Team @ 06/08/2008 9:01:21 PM

      Hillaryous would have been best suited for the job if your criteria was limited to:

      1. Best Pathological Liar.

      2. Most unsolved Deaths, Murders and wrongful imprisonments, attributed to a Presidential Family.

      3. Candidate who would work the hardest to bring America under Socialism and or Fasism.

      4. Most annoying.

      5. Ability to display the least empathy.

      and

      6. Candidate most likely to allow the enemies of the USA (i.e China, Russia and Isreal) to have a greater share in America's Political, Idealogical and Economic future...

      YEAH, I GUESS THAT YOU ARE WRIGHT... HILLARYOUS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST CHOICE, HANDS DOWN...

      What was I thinking...

      anyways...

        A lot of Hilary supporters will not vote for Obama because of the stupid and nasty blogs by the Obama supporters. Yes, Hillary has her share of baggage, but so does Obama. His supporters act like he is some sort of "God". Get a life and open your eyes. Obama's radical associations for the last 20 years, his lies of denying certain things and then coming clean with flowery speeches to passify his supporters, his super racist wife, his flip-flops on issues to satisfy the voters, etc.,etc.
        It would be hard not to vote for McCain even if Hillary was the VP. Obama is a naive inexperienced egotistical maniac.

          Hey you SACK... You can post your messages 45 times and that isn't going to help you get any closer to being RIGHT... As for Barack "Radical" affiliations... I've heard several of Rev. WRIGHT's Sermons and... Sad to say, the man was and is WRIGHT ON POINT... I only hope that he and Mr. Obama can mend their split and that Mr. WRIGHT would be able to have some form of Official Clergical position in the Obama White House...

          Oh yeah, check the polls because Barack is about to MOP THE FLOOR WIT THAT OLD TRAITOROUS PHART known as MC'CAINT...

          SO DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW MC'CAINT WAS RELEASED FROM HIS POW CAMP??? no... Well let me tell you... JOHN MC'CAINT WAS RELEASED BY THE NORTH VIETNEMESE AFTER HER DIVULDGED STRATEGIC POSITIONS FOR HIS FATHERS FLEET... Now talk about being a Knut-Sack... OLD JOHNNY-Baby NEVER SUBSCRIBED TO the saying, "DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR"...

          Did you see the FOOTAGE of JOHNNY MC'CAINT when the COMMIES HAD HIM ON FILM, DENOUNCING THE EVILS OF AMERICA AND IT'S WAR MACHINE... MC'CAINT IS SUCH A PUSS (for lack of a better word) AND THIS IS THE OLD PHART THAT THE BIG "O" HAS TO RUN AGAINST???

          I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY...

          SEE YOU IN THE WHITE HOUSE MR. BARACK H. OBAMA...

          CONGRATULATIONS MR. OBAMA FOR CLOBBERING THE WAR-CRIMINAL, MC'CAINT WORSE THAN THAT, "SNIER-FIRE HEROIN"...

          GOD BLESS AMERICA FOR FINALLY ALLOWING US TO ELECT, THE VOICE OF REASON THAT IS (say it with me)............................... OH............ OH................ OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: sml40235 @ 06/08/2008 8:50:12 PM

      Hillary was quite aware how the system worked before she began campaigning. In fact, in the initial stages while her superdelegate count was higher, she had great faith in that system. Now that she has lost, the system suddenly is the problem. The winner had more pledged delegates, more superdelegates and more votes. Why can't you just accept that? The system works great.

      • Posted By: efe08 @ 06/08/2008 10:10:39 PM

        Yeah, Your Obama can not even win the majority of the democratic states and larger states. If the rules are the same as the republican she would have won the primary a long time ago. Which big states Obama win? Do you know why? In big states people are more exposed to the likes of the Obamas and able to identify them. I will now vote for Mccain because I don't trust the guy.

    "The United States is collapsing and if we don't elect a novice like obama then we are in real trouble".

    Excuse me, were do some of these comments actually come from? Do people really believe what they are writing? Maybe it's funny paper time and people have too much time on their hands. I'm sorry for all the negative comments that supposed sane people actually write.

    I don't care who you vote for as long as it is a sound thought that comes out. Please have logical thought processes.

  • Posted By: economistman @ 06/08/2008 3:32:10 AM

    I think Hillary's depression will be greater, in a way, because she compromised so many of her "principles" in order to win. It would have been one thing to pull the race card, offend African-Americans, use images of Bin Laden, etc, and justify it with a win, but to sell-out AND LOSE. That's real heartbreak.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 06/08/2008 3:37:40 AM

      I in no way that Hillary Clintons campaign was the initial pulling of the race card. I think that Obama let his supporters do it for him for smearing Hillary to lead thinking of her being the one to pull the racist card. Given it was Obama behind it all and his teachings thru the TUCC,, I cannot see how this subtley did not become manuevered sway to be associated with Hillary. THERE IS JUST NO WAY I TRUSH OBAMA ABOUT ANYTHING HE SAYS, AND ESPECIALLY WHAT HIS WIFE SAYS.

      • Posted By: dking312 @ 06/08/2008 3:43:10 AM

        AWWW COME ON!!! Bill comparing Barack to Jessee was shameful!
        Then to decide she's better cause more WHite folks are voting for her.....not the best thought to give details on.
        Not that she herself is racist. She didn't go into KKK rant or anything. But she is a part of her machine....the machine that decided they were going to win NO MATTER WHAT. And they do subtle things that everybody isn't able to recognize.
        How did Obama pull a race card?
        Hillary "pulled the female card". SO?
        Don't hear any complaints on that.

      The race card...hahaha..if you believe this you are stupider than you sound. If she offended blacks it was because they can only see one thing and that was a "black candidate" and anyone running against him is a racist. If you really think comparing Obama to Jesse Jackson is racist, I guess you hold Jackson in contempt....if he really wanted to race bait it would have been very easy with the racist rantings of Obama' pastor and church.....now that is racist!

      OBAMA NARCISSISM WATCH:
      by Dean Barnett on June 4, 2008

      Exceprt:

      The oddity last night was the way Obama delivered props to himself at the end of his comments about his grandmother. He could have concluded the sentiment with ???she poured everything she had into me??? and that would have been touching. But he had to add that HER EFFORTS TURNED OUT A MAGNIFICENT MAN (meaning himself)! While his swooning acolytes no doubt share his conclusion, there???s something unbecoming and rather odd about talking up your own wonderfulness. Need I add that this part of the speech was ad-libbed and not on the teleprompter?

    I am terribly disappointed in the irresponsible journalism of Newsweek. Depression is a serious medical issue and should not be used to sell magazines. As an African American and a well-educated woman, either of the two candidates were a win-win situation for me. Unfortunately, as a life-long democrat , I could never be more disgusted by the misogyny of the biased media posing as objective journalists or more ashamed of the DNC coup. All I can say is that many of my "sisters" shall REMEMBER come NOVEMBER.
