    So Catstevens, are you a Hillary supporter who is going to the other sandbox to play, now that your gal is pretty much wiped out? Or are you content with politics as usual or worse if McCain gets his hands on America? Time to change course my friend and McCain isn't going to do that for us.

      Hillary is going to campaign hard for Obama; she will bring in all her supporters and maybe even some of the republicans who backed her to mess things up.

      She has shown how tough she is.

      Hillary is dead right in this commment. John McCain is a more refined hypocrite than Bush. He appears to forget his previous discourses.

      1. When Hamas won elections in Palestine, he said US and Israel should engage them in talks for peace in the region. Now a candidate, he says they are terrorists and falsely accuses Obama.

      2. He fought Bush tax custs in 2000 as irresponsible. Now a candidate, he not only supports it but wants to make it permanent. Like marrying a girl he did not want to date.

      3. Only after AP ran a story that his wife has financial holdings and interests in Sudan, they decided to dump it.

      4. He says he will end war in Iraq in 4 years as if he has the prescription drug that Bush did not know about it.

      5. For Bush & McCain Iran is a terrorist nation. For others like India, China, Russia, Venezuela it is a UN country.

      The more this SCUM opens his mouth, he looks more of a seasoned hypocrite Washington politician.

      Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      "...a question from a CNN iReporter who asked why she thought so many of her supporters would choose McCain over Obama."

      Well because of race, Reverend Wright's comments and maybe the Jewish vote?

      Anything else I'm missing?

        In terms of policy choices, Clinton is presumably closer to Obama than she is to McCain, but that has to be a guess, because Obama's only relevant accomplishments and attributes are a few speeches and his ability to spellbind susceptible individuals.

        However, for me, after 8 years of the worst president ever, the most important issue by far is competence. Right now, I think Obama and McCain are both far from acceptable on this criteria. A very disappointing choice.

        "It would be a terrible mistake for my supporters to vote for Senator McCain over Senator Obama."

        The fact is that there are very LITTLE differences in the positions of Clinton and Obama. And although he may be the YOUNGEST candidate in the field and may have the least POLITICAL experience he has as much (if not MORE) KNOWLEDGE of world politics then either of the other two. When you ADD that he has more KNOWLEDGE, then McCain on EVERY other issue (economy, global warming, alternative energy that faces this country and the world for the next 4, 8 or 100 years it the 'cake walk' that McCain said the Iraq war would initially be (and in this case it's correct).

        The fearmongers are marching to the same beat as the Bush Nazis did with 9-11 as the excuse for unprincipled agression...

        How many will be fooled this time?

        Leaving the white house empty would be an improvement over another four years of Bush III (McCain).

        Then, maybe it is the emptiness of McCain that his supporters like?

          Of course it could lead to a terrible mistake. But good grief, if people haven't figured out the disaster of republican politics and policies in the last seven years, they're certainly not going to come to some magical understanding in the next six months! I'm sick of cry babies. If Obama loses the nomination, I'll vote for Clinton despite the fact that I've grown to be disgusted with her. McCain represents total disaster, & my personal feelings won't get in the way of that reality.

          Good for Hillary, seems that she is finally coming around and supporting her own party. I would love to see an Obama/Clinton ticket....that's the best thing that could happen in this country right now.

            when the dem nomination is all sewn up, you're going to see hillary, bill, and every other democrat out there throwing their complete support to obama.

            Obama is history in the making.

            McCain is a 20th century answer to 21st century problems.

            bill, hillary and all the dems know this.

            On this, I agree with Hillary. She's right. It would be a terrible mistake for her supporters to turn around and vote for John McCain in the general..

            I beleive the percentage of Hillary Clinton supporters who - in the end - do not vote for Barack Obama will be in the single digits.

            Why do I believe that?

            Because John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsberg will almost certainly retire within the next Presidential term. Because the war must come to an end. Because America's jobs are being outsourced. Because gas costs too much. Etc, etc...

            Obama will be the next president because he understands this. ...and McCain... ...McCain does not...

            Judging from the special elections recently - with some very Republican districts voting in Democrats - I'd say the election is the Democrats' to lose. Let's hope they don't blow it.

            I fear, I fear, I fear that some awful concoction of racism; the authoritarian impulse to divide the world into black and white, US and THEM, and which requires an enemy to affirm national strength and a sense of proctectedness; anti-intellectualism; class prejudice/envy; rejection of self-interest in favor of "values"-voting...

            ...that all of these things will sink the Obama effort.

            I hope not. But.....

                it would be a terrible mistake to believe anything that comes out of that fat trap of hers, the Clinton's are unable to tell the truth, they are liars.
