  • rlray216, on 05/15/2008, -38/+32If you believe some of the polls, Clinton supporters don't necessarily agree. A good percentage of them say they'll vote for McCain or not vote for anyone at all if Obama gets the nomination. And vice versa - Obama supporters say they will defect or stay home if Clinton gets the nomination too.
    • j0hneb0y81, on 05/15/2008, -4/+39i think.. (hope) that most of that is just heat of the moment anger that will diffuse come nov
      • Yodwinder, on 05/15/2008, -2/+1ember.
      • aliengoods, on 05/15/2008, -6/+5Clinton has a large base of women supporters. They get angry when they don't get what they want and they never forget.
      • Spuy767, on 05/15/2008, -3/+3In other news, The sky is bue, water is wet, and the earth revolves around the sun. . . Since when is a democrat telling people not to vote for a republican newsworthy?
    • Semirhage527, on 05/15/2008, -0/+25People can barely predict how they'll feel 7 months from now, much less polling data. There are tons of examples of primaries where exit polls said the voters of A wouldn't vote for B, or vice versa, and then low and behold, in the general, they did. Primary contests just aren't a predictor of performance in general elections, and neither are polls which ask people to see into the future.
    • Hrodrik, on 05/15/2008, -14/+10May I remind you that many voting for Clinton are McCain supporters trying to make a brighter future.
      • haylel, on 05/15/2008, -1/+7I don't know why you're getting dug down, I don't think anyone got it maybe?
        I know that around here, and I'm sure in many many other places, this is true.
        McCain supporters voted for Hillary in huge numbers around here (PA) so she could lose to McCain in the general election.
        Lots of people openly admitted to it at exit polls.
    • lotsa1s, on 05/15/2008, -9/+4Thank ***** god, too. People are finally voting on their conscious instead of on some artificial party line like a piece of cattle. I don't care if you support Hilary or Obama, vote for who you want to win, not for what party you want to win.
      • FairDinkumMate, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4But obviously(hopefully?) the person you want to win is presenting values & policies that you support. In this case, as Clinton said, the policies of Obama are MUCH closer to hers than those of McCain.
        So assuming that what you mean by voting your conscience(I would hope that ALL voters are CONSCIOUS!!!) is to vote for the person you think best presents the kind of country you want to live in, then generally it WOULD relate to someone in the same party if your preferred nominee is knocked out(UNCONSCIOUS?)
      • dagamer34, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5Voting for the party you want to win is a lot better than voting for the other party out of spite. Those that hated Al Gore in 2000 probably wish they had actually thought through what a George W. Bush Presidency actually MEANT before they cast thier vote.
        • Metman, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1I love how people who voted for Bush now find excuses for their stupidity...
    • virtualball, on 05/15/2008, -5/+18I know she gets a horrible rap (as she should) but I think we could all agree that we'd rather have Hillary over McCain any day....
      • petrodollar, on 05/15/2008, -7/+5False. McCain is a RINO and not very smart. That means at worst he'll be ineffective at implementing the mainstream republican agenda, and at best he'll be a sellout who gives amnesty to illegals, puts moderate judges on the SCOTUS, and institutes a bunch of global warming intiatives.

        Hitlery is a lying, backstabbing bitch with enough brains to get what she wants and make life miserable for a sizable chunk of the population. Her health care plan is guaranteed to fail because no one wants to get fined for refusing to fork over their cash to big insurance. The rest of her policies are poorly defined because she's a slippery bitch who only wants to win so she can spend a few more years slurping away at the whitehouse trough while dry raping the country.
        • p0s3r, on 05/15/2008, -12/+2Exactly. I don't want McCain ruining whats left of the Republican brand. Let's put some dimwitted rookie Marxist and his militant angry wife in the WH. The Dem Congress will lurch left, ruining the Blue Dog caucus's chance for reelection. America will sink into more massive debt on top of our already massive debt, we'll suffer massive inflation and skyrocketing unemployment, our dependency on foreign oil will double while our gas supplies will dwindle. Illegals will get amnesty while failed social entitlement programs will be trebled. Out of the ashes of Carter 2.0, maybe a phoeni- like Reagan 2.0 will rise. America will rebound after the guaranteed disaster that an Obama Presidency will be.
          • petrodollar, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Ralph Nader said essentially the same thing about Bush in 2000. Turns out he was right!
    • SpikeLee, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3She is addressing those stats with this. It alarmed me too when I saw heard of the statistics.
    • koft, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6They say that, but when it's Mc Cain vs Obama after the primaries (assuming thats how it goes) they'll change their minds.
    • Klisk, on 05/15/2008, -15/+3I have to admit, if I cannot vote for Clinton, I will simply not vote at all. I hate both Obama and McCain, and I'm not going to vote for either canidate when I don't believe in either of them. Clinton, I do believe in. Even if she's up for vice president with Obama, I'm not going to vote for Obama. I'd rather vote for a fictional character. Can we vote Iron Man?
      • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -1/+13Wow, you're that against Obama even though he shares almost all the basic platform stances with Hillary, whom you support? You may not like the man, but if you care about the issues then not voting is, no offense, the stupidest thing you could do.
        • Klisk, on 05/15/2008, -9/+5There's a difference. Between the candidates, I believe Hillary will follow through with what she says. Obama I feel is flakey and will cower to outside sources pressuring him into making decisions he doesn't even believe in. Or heck, maybe all he is saying now is just one big manipulative lie to get into office?
          • jetx29, on 05/15/2008, -1/+9Even if you aren't so sure he'll follow through, it's better than the alternative of policies that UNDERMINE what you want...Seriously...
          • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6And what evidence do you have to support Obama being flaky? When has he ever been flaky? And why would he be giving us some huge lie just to get into office? So he can be reviled as the worst president ever? That's what the one who's there now did. And again, what evidence do you have to support the idea that he's been lieing this entire time? I could make the exact same claims about Hillary if I wanted, but as much as I don't like her I would still vote for her in the general if she was the nominee because no matter what I think of her personally I know she'd at the very least not hurt the issues that I care about, which is more than I can say for McCain.
          • EvilCan, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6Let me guess: you're from West Virginia?
          • Klisk, on 05/15/2008, -4/+1NJ, actually.
        • FairDinkumMate, on 05/15/2008, -1/+7@ Klisk - There may be MANY reasons for you to not support Obama but if the best you can come up with is that you HONESTLY believe that Clinton is more TRUSTWORTHY than Obama then I think it's a good idea if you don't vote.
        • mooseontheloose, on 05/15/2008, -6/+4lol... right. I haven't seen an Obama supporter admit yet that they'd vote for Clinton, yet they expect the same for their candidate. Hypocrites.
          • jetx29, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6I'm an Obama supporter that will vote for Clinton if she gets the nomination. There's no doubt in my mind because I vote on substantive policy. Anyone who does otherwise is an idiot because personality is so hard to gauge in this sort of situation (everyone involved is a politician, right?). Examining Obama and Clinton, their two platforms (aside from this ridiculous gas tax issue) are almost identical. Since they have the same platforms, THEN I look to who I prefer from a personality perspective and other issues. I prefer Obama in this case, as I think he's a breath of fresh air. But when it comes down to it, if it's Clinton versus McCain, I'd move to Clinton in a second.

            (and actually all the exit polls show that Clinton supporters are less likely to vote for Obama than vice-versa...i personally just don't get it..)
          • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4I'm also an Obama supporter who would vote for Clinton, because when you can't vote for the candidate you want, you vote against the candidate that would hurt America the most, and I am quite convinced that McCain would hurt us quite a bit (for evidence see the past 7 years)
          • brutalentropy, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I am Obama supporter, and I will vote for Clinton if she gets the nomination.
      • Iwantawii, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2That's exactly what many Obama supporters say if Clinton did get nominated. The bipartisanship within the democratic party itself is exactly what the McCain camp is banking on.
    • jeffinfremont, on 05/15/2008, -0/+8I think the point that some of the candidates, as well as the media, are sidestepping is that many of us who support Obama is because he is the only major candidate who is not part of the Cold War establishment. Both Clinton and McCain are part of that political process which calls upon polarization and demonization. Senator Obama gets it; we are in a changing world where the "us vs. them" mentality is, essentially, old and busted. We need a new kind of politics which at least attempts to do away with past divisions and move forward in a manner that involves discourse, compromise, and above all, transparency.
    • Jo9100, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1sauce please
    • afx1, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4she did this because she was pressured by the democratic party leadership not to ***** up the party and completely derail obama's chances. don't think she had some magical change of heart all of a sudden.
      • wtfheadexplody, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I'd imagine this will also help her win Obama's "wouldn't vote for Hilary" votes as well.
    • Chrispyc1211, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4While it's true that Obama supporters wouldn't all get behind Hillary, it's nowhere near the level of retarded devotion that her fans show. In WV, in one poll, half of her followers said they would DEFINITELY not vote for Obama "if" Hillary loses the nomination.
      These people are obviously mentally impaired, but hey.
    • RockeN5, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Heh - if it were McCain VS Clinton, I would write in Dr. Ron Paul; though I hope it is McCain VS Obama, in which case I would vote for Obama.
  • dinot, on 05/15/2008, -5/+174THANK YOU! Hopefully her supporters put our differences aside and listen to her advice.
    • dOOBiEx213, on 05/15/2008, -0/+12Yup. Maybe there IS a light at the end of the tunnel... let's just hope it's not train McCain.
      • infinitus64, on 05/15/2008, -2/+4Still hold that mccain is only acting and would probably be centrist if he became prez
        • Bhima, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2I would have bought that in 2000 but not today.
      • thedragon4453, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Hmm, train McCain. My guess is even though its on rails it would forget where its going and get lost.
      • Speed, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Since I wouldn't call his campaign the "Straight Talk Express" anymore, it's possible
    • shyboy2008, on 05/15/2008, -20/+5i support Hillary and I will be voting for McCain if Obama is the nominee
      • cypriss9, on 05/15/2008, -0/+11Could you illuminate how reasoning like that works?
        • shyboy2008, on 05/15/2008, -14/+3McCain and Hillary are similiar. Obama is so left that he should choose Michael Moore as his VP. its crazy.
          • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -1/+9Go look at any of those handy online tools that compare the candidates and you will see how incredibly wrong you are. Hillary and Obama = pro healthcare, McCain = not, Hillary and Obama - gtfo of Iraq, McCain = 100 more years, etc... etc... How is that similar?
      • luftrofl, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6Jump off a bridge.
      • tc2004txst, on 05/15/2008, -1/+14Even when Hillary says it would be a mistake? You might be the biggest idiot I have encountered.
      • dinot, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Then you're an insult to Hillary. Seriously, do you think any candidate would be happy to say that their supporters are so fickle that they would go to the other party if they didn't win?
      • phufufoo, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Just say you won't vote for a black man. (half black) Who cares if you're a democrat. You're a racist first.
    • topgigmedia, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10They will. Otherwise 50% of Dems are complete, ignorant, asshat morons.
      • known, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Do you mean 50% of Americans are complete, ignorant, asshat morons?
        • wtfheadexplody, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Only 50%?
        • lordno, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Dems are only 20% of the pop. Aside from WV, the only people voting for her the are republicans ***** with y'all.
      • tomasII, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Is that news to you? I think 50% is kinda low.
    • Archer007, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4She knows that she cant afford to burn the only bridge she has left: the Democratic Party.
    • runCMD, on 05/15/2008, -11/+6There is a very clear 'difference' between Clinton supporters, who have acted civil through this process - and the hate spewing vitriol that comes from the minds and hearts of Obama supporters - like those here on Digg.. I'd say there is a world of difference. I have heard no one say that they would 'riot' if Clinton was not chosen as the nominee. RIOT!?! I cannot say that for the other side. Just look at the field day his supporters had at the expense of the voters of WV. They are Americans too - and deserve respect for voting their individual conscience.
      I'd say this bodes poorly for 'putting our differences aside'
      • fluxion, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3yah you guys are awesome. now, please dont vote for mccain. kthx
        • runCMD, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1Not awesome. Not better. Different. I have a different opinion about who is the better nominee for the democratic party. If Obama were to take the nomination, he doesn't automatically get my vote. Hillary Clinton didn't either. You have to earn it. and he has a long way to go to get there.
      • inajeep, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3Just remember it's the supporters who were overbearing asshats and not Obama himself.
        • runCMD, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1Except that my original problems with Obama the person still exist. Hard Drug use ( excused as an accident of youth ) and Bigotry ( excused as a struggle with his bi-racial-ness ) aren't something I want in a presidents credentials. I'm glad he had to courage to report it in his auto-biography. But it doesn't change the fact that he used felony class illegal drugs and hated white people. That's disgusting. His supporters have acted with the same 'attitude' I would assume a young Obama had - as he watched those white coaches on the basketball court - only their hatred has been pointed at Hillary Clinton - and her supporters. So the manner in which he speaks 'inspires' you. It's not a new style ... you realize. Southern preachers have used the style for as long as I can remember. But if you listen to Obama speak off stage and in private. That is not his speaking style. He picked it up early in his public speeches because the crowds didn't get 'inspired' otherwise.
          And you bought it.
    • flink405, on 05/15/2008, -11/+2Don´t vote for Obama or McCain - write in Hillary Clinton on your ballot!
    • noprtyaff, on 05/15/2008, -7/+1I disagree. McCain would probably move the country further left than Obama - which would be a degeneration, not progress. Because the so-called "conservatives" is Congress would support McCain and his leftist leanings just because he is a member of the Republicrat party. Obama who has sat in the pew of Jeremiah Wright's ( who is considered "the leading exponent of--the black racist theology of James Cone, which teaches that the god of black people hates white people and wants to destroy them all" ) church for the last 20 years would be opposed by these same so-called "conservatives" in congress just because the racially diverse leftist cult object Osama is a member of the Democan party. Have a nice day.
    • hillaryforum, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Dream on. Unlike Obama supporters, supporters of Hillary Clinton have minds of our own. Just because she makes a suggestion doesn't mean we follow it. If Obama is the nominee, and successful in the mass corruption of public & superdelegate opinion, a majority of Hillary supporters will vote McCain. Regardless of what HC might suggest we do. We know how Obama supporters have behaved over the past 6 months and we won't forget. And we also know how the Obama campaign has sought to destroy Hillary Clinton's reputation & character. We won't forget that either. Hopefully, however, we won't have to worry about this as Hillary Clinton will be the nominee.
  • Gemfinder, on 05/15/2008, -18/+172Gee, how's that for a turnaround?
    Just a couple months ago, Hillary's tune was "McCain would make a better President than Barack Obama."
    Had a change of heart, did we?
    • mrASSMAN, on 05/15/2008, -9/+55Yep: she's running for the vice-presidential ticket now.

      (I really hope Obama doesn't pick her, even though it would likely help his prospects of winning)
      • petrodollar, on 05/15/2008, -4/+15Obama should give her the spot, provided that she give him head on national television while he delivers his inaugural address.
      • Twenty, on 05/15/2008, -1/+1She has actually denied that (right now). She says that she'll think about that after June 4th (if my memory from earlier today serves me).
      • rmxz, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5"(I really hope Obama doesn't pick her, even though it would likely help his prospects of winning)"

        Disagree it'd help. Of the people on the fence between Obama and McCain, there are probably more people who strongly dislike rather than strongly like her.
        • shwerm601, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1I agree with the disliking her portion, however, I have heard a lot of people suggesting their vote towards McCain, not Obama if Obama was become the nominee
        • Gemfinder, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1It wouldn't help. Scandal and corruption are the Clintons' air and water. That's the last thing we need.
    • Adys, on 05/15/2008, -2/+5I'm probably just paranoid thinking she wants to get the attention of some former Clinton supporters that are "tempted" with Obama. Either way, it sure as hell wasn't expected.
    • alittleroy101, on 05/15/2008, -7/+9Yeah I know, she's such a douchebag. She practically endorsed McCain a couple months ago.

      • fxu1989, on 05/15/2008, -4/+5Ah well, since you said you are an Obama supporter, then I guess I'll digg you up.

    • mawh, on 05/15/2008, -2/+17She'll do another 180 degree turnaround when Obama picks his VP and it's not her.
    • junkwheel, on 05/15/2008, -0/+7Why did she say McCain would make a better president in the first place? Does she really think that would help her? How can she even say she ran as a Democrat when she made statements like that? How does McCain would make a better president than Obama help the democratic party exactly?

      She doesn't have a chance in hell at the VP slot on an Obama ticket. It might help Obama win, but it wouldn't help him in the White House. And you know damn well he knows it's the latter that matters. He will take it without her on the VP slot. Michelle hating her doesn't exactly help her prospects either. But the way she has run her campaign, who her campaign is financed by, who her friends are: lobbyists, insiders, corporations, etc. It's the opposite of the campaign Obama has run and precisely what he wants to change. They may share many policy positions, within the states at least, but they're chalk and cheese otherwise.

    • Tryptomine, on 05/15/2008, -1/+5Somehow, I rather doubt 'maturity' had anything to do with her statement...
      • thedragon4453, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3No, if anything its a grab at the VP spot.
    • inajeep, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1It is politics and to everyone not directly involved in the process, it's emotional.

    • TinternAbbot, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2She still thinks she has a chance to be on top of the ticket, so I don't think she's sucking up. I think she's just trying to change her image to more of a "team player" type thing before the DNC.

      • Brad324, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1stop whining, it's annoying to everyone here.
    • trixterIreland, on 05/15/2008, -2/+0obama said he doesnt want hillary on the ticket.
      Hillary said she doesnt want obama to be on her ticket (either as pres or vp)

      Basically the two of them have said and done enough against each other that neither of them wants to work together. So they wont be on the same ticket unless both of them are lying about what they want, and if that happens would you want to elect someone who got caught lying during their campaign?

      Personally I hope that hillary goes the distance, I hope that if she isnt the nominee she runs independent. I think a certain percentage of her worshipers agree with that as well. Why I would almost wager that 65% of the US population wants her to run independent :)

    • zephyear, on 05/15/2008, -4/+3oh yeah he'll change it for sure
    • cheeseron, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4nothing would get done. it'd be endless battles with congress. plus it's not like the republican base nowadays would vote for paul anyway. he'd have been better off going with a third party like perot.
    • Enasni1212, on 05/15/2008, -4/+7I have no doubt that Ron Paul WOULD change America if elected. In fact, I believe he would change it for the better.
      But it's not going to happen. I know I'll just get yelled at for being a sheep, not supporting change, etc... but realism has a place in politics, too. It's not worth risking a McCain presidency just to pull a lever that will have no actual effect.

  • shyboy2008, on 05/15/2008, -67/+18Yea vote for Obama so he can lock the white people in chains and become a Hitler in black makeup. You know Obama is gonna stuff us into concentration camps and do anything he can do to make it right for 100's of years of black enslavement by the white man. I am very scared where this nation is heading if Obama is elected. You know Hitler promised hope as well from the bad economy and the other ***** going on during the 1930's. Just like Obama is doing now.

          But i do hope he puts your ridiculous ass on the moon...without a space suit...like when the South Park kids sent Jambu the orca there.

    • feenxfire, on 05/15/2008, -0/+13And they call Obama supporters cultists...
    • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -0/+15That is some scary *****. They're all over there accusing Obama of being Muslim, that his wife is a whiner because she talks about how hard it was to create a nation-wide campaign, etc... etc... It's that kind of forum where one view is reflected over and over again back and forth until such idiotic things like "Obama's a Muslim" become accepted truth. Although I did find the entire thread about how everyone was so sure that Edwards was going to endorse Clinton rather enjoying, given today's events.
      • gobbleplex, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2And this is why any lip service Clinton gives to "supporting the winner of the primary" is bunk. If she were serious about this she would have dropped out and rallied her forces long ago rather than pour on the Rovian tactics of fear and division.
    • babylonian, on 05/15/2008, -0/+15Wow, that forum is ***** ridiculous. A few quotes from it:

      On Hilary running as an INDEPENDENT (?!?!): "Could she win? My guess is no, but something that should be considered. On the plus side it will keep Obama out of the White House, and probably hand it to McCain. On the negative, she could never run in 2012 if she lost."

      Also this: "I tell ya what. Lets keep waiting for this A-Bomb to drop, and thinking that anyday now the corrupt DNC will come to their senses. That way while we're waiting, one day in Nov we will all wake up and realize..."Shi+" I have to choose between A terrorist and a republican today."
      • oldlostcory, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3yeah i read that terrorist bit to, the ignorance in this country is still do damn much. Living in western pa i've heard many times over people saying they won't vote for him cause of his name alone.
    • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -1/+19As a side note, I tried to register as user GoBama simply to add a "Congratulations on Edwards' endorsement of Clinton today" but before I could I was banned permanently, simply for a username with the name Obama in it. You can say all you want about digg, but at least the people with ideas other than the majority get to write them down before we shut them up.
    • IznastY, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5wow...
    • fluxion, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3it's depressing
    • DevilDriver, on 05/15/2008, -0/+6Wow, what a ridiculous group of people. I love the thread calling for Obama to quit the race, as if he's not winning. I also love how they think Hillary isn't winning due to about 1000 ridiculous reasons. Have these people ever considered that Obama is just a better candidate? I can't believe how some of these people "get sick' when they see Obama supporters, or how terrified of Obama they really are. Looks like a bunch of stuffy white soccer moms afraid of the big black wolf. Some gems:

      "I confer. RezkObama needs to step down now or he will be brought down with irreparable damage to his character and long term abilities to get a job. He will soon become OJ Simpson II if he doesn't step down."

      "HE'S GOT TO GO!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME AS FAR AS POLITICS GO, I FEAR WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, ESPECIALLY FOR MY CHILDREN. I HONESTLY PICTURE HIM WRINGING HIS HANDS LIKE MR. BURNS DOES ON THE SIMPSONS, AND I CAN HEAR HIS EVIL LAUGH REVERBERATING OFF THE WALLS!!!"
      ^^What!? Rofl, how is Obama in the slightest way evil? Geez if I could imagine anyone sitting in the oval office wringing their hands with maniacal laughter, its Hillary.

      "I am watching in disbelief as an extraordinary candidate is labeled as "divisive", "dishonest", "will say and do anything to win", "racist", the list goes on and on... It is heartbreaking." Heartbreaking, maybe. Too bad its true.

      "I came to the conclusion that these are the same people who elected Bush twice, they are not freethinkers nor do they have an opinion other then what the mass media tells them". Right, Dems re-elected Bush. *Laugh*

    • tyrione, on 05/15/2008, -0/+0You hope? You better expect 95% of her supporters to vote Democrat or he's DOA. But what am I saying? She's taking it to the Convention.
    • DevilDriver, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2I just took the liberty to register and make a post, hopefully to smack these ***** down and give them a little perspective. To quote...
      "Not to be a troll, as I am a supporter of Hillary, but why don't we just rename this forum "OBAMA MUST DIE '08". Seriously, why are you all working so hard to destroy the image of a hardworking democrat with a vision of peace and hope? Finally someone comes along who just might have the right idea about how to run this country. The man isn't a terrorist, but I guess if his name isn't Tom Dick or Jane he's clearly not an American to you people. Sure, he's got some iffy friends, but since when is everyone guilty by association? I've got some bad friends, that doesn't mean I steal cars and do drugs.

      Can't we all just think a little bit more logically here? How, in any way, is voting for McCain better than voting for Obama? Obama and Clinton's views on several issues are very similar. If they weren't, they wouldn't be members of the same party. How can you all sit here and say you'd NEVER EVER EVER EVER vote for Barack when Hillary HERSELF is calling for supporters to vote Obama over McCain (if it comes to that)? You all seem to be so in love with Hilllary, why don't you listen to her advice? The things you rip on Obama for are typical political candidate flaws. I can't imagine that you literally dig up everything you can on Obama while turning a blind eye to the (much much) longer list of Clinton scandals and deceit. That said, she's still the candidate I agree with the most, obviously Obama comes in at a close second. If you can't agree that we're all on the same team here, maybe you should get off our team!

      Im begging you, one last time, if the election comes down to Obama vs. McCain, PLEASE VOTE OBAMA. Look at the facts, ignore the media, hold your judgements and feelings aside, and realize that Obama is a solid candidate who can turn this country around. A vote for McCain is a vote for 4 more years of Bushisms, economic drain, and unncessarily continued violence. Do the right thing to turn this country around!

      I'm sure this post will get deleted asap, since thats what you tend to do around here. As soon as anyone tries to suck you out of this round about collections of delusional Clinton granduer, you kick them out and ignore it all.
      "

      Edit: And I'm banned. Almost instantly. God I hope Hillary doesnt win, I can't stand to be a part of a nation that supports this sort of ignorance and disrespect.

    • Myakka, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1Despite what the news pundits have been prattling about, Hillary's staying in the race is BRILLIANT!

      Everyone in the electorate is EXCITED about having a chance to vote in a meaningful primary -- where your vote just might be the one to choose between these two.

      Add to this the excitement about having the first serious woman presidential candidate at the same time as the first serious black presidential candidate and the Dems have the ideal PR tool to bring everyone out in Nov to vote against Bush!

      Brilliant strategy (except if you a paid pundit for the news corporations who need to take every opportunity to forward McCain's candidacy...)
  • knyghtryda, on 05/15/2008, -4/+8well, lets just hope she's sincere in this. Now what I want to see is who will be barak's running mate. Anyone else want edwards? eh... maybe not.
    • RebeL5K, on 05/15/2008, -1/+3Unfortunately he is too liberal. Jim Webb would be preferable - he comes from a swing state of Virginia, voted against the Iraq war, is himself a veteran, and he has a son in Iraq. He would be a PERFECT fit.
    • RxDaniel, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Edwards is a bad choice because his home state is going to vote republican anyway. They need someone that can help get a swing state.
    • Gemfinder, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2He'd be better as Attorney General, then maybe Supreme Court position.
  • lerorina, on 05/15/2008, -7/+2Is that a hint she could be Obama's vice-president in case she officially lost the race?
  • FuckXboxx, on 05/15/2008, -10/+8Bilderberg met recently. Obama is now the "official candidate."

    For those who didn't notice, there was a direct u-turn in media support for Obama over Hillary...very recently. I don't have a TV and I noticed on cnn.com that Hillary was given far more opportunities to prove her "benevolence" over Obama. But it all changed...especially when Rush decided to endorse Obama.

    The next few months are going to consist of Hillary kissing enough ass to earn a VP ticket. I'm afraid Obama could be assassinated but I'm even more afraid the country could "expect it" seeing as he's a "black muslim anti-christ..."
    • TinternAbbot, on 05/15/2008, -2/+5He's more likely to be assassinated on a state trip to a muslim country than here in the united states. They would likely view him as an apostate.

There was no need to correct him; he didn't use punctuation not because he doesn't know how, but because he chose not to. His comment was still completely legible. It's really not a huge deal.

          It's one thing to correct someone on something they obviously already know, but it's somehow even douchier to go out of your way to do it sarcastically. I wouldn't have said anything, but I see a comment along the lines of RebeL5K's on just about every digg comment section I read. Seriously, who gives a *****?

    This is just her clarifying doubts that she's in it to help McCain (which are definitely legitimate claims).
    • RxDaniel, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2To be fair they are both helping McCain. If the party had just picked a candidate early on like normal the Republicans wouldn't have had a chance in this election. As it is they are splitting the party, and that is great for McCain.
  • ibone, on 05/15/2008, -19/+6Clinton would beat McCain in a landslide victory. Obama will lose a close race to McCain. Its sad, but the guy is running for president in one of the most racist countries in the world.
    • eavesdrop, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6are you kidding me? The presidential race was essentialy between Hilary and Obama, and Obama has clearly won the democratic nominee, he's a shoo-in for president. But I wouldn't get confident and slack off if I were Obama.
      • Cyrus042, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4I would agree if the GOP nominee was someone other than McCain. McCain is a popular moderate. He easily appeals to hawkish democrats, or conservative democrats as well as independents. He'll do well among the Hispanic vote because of his stance on immigration and history of support. (He received over 70% of the Hispanic vote in his reelection in Arizona). Also, on the topic of minorities, its interesting to note that he could likely receive strong support among American Indians given his strong support for AI issues over the years.

        It would be incorrect to assume that McCain isn't serious competition for the Democrats this year.
    • Darksoul, on 05/15/2008, -2/+7Are you serious "one of the most racist countries in the world" compared to what I don't see us killing people in the streets or stoning people to death if anything Obama is so close to winning because he has just as many white supporters as he does black supporters.

      What you say is true certainly in some respect, yes there are racist parts of the country but come on. Obama is leading in every aspect, Popular vote, most pledged delegates, most super delegates. Come on man, how do you think she would win in a landslide? Unfortunately I think McCain would win either way, it's sad and ridiculous considering the approval ratings of Bush and that fact that McCain is going to be like him but I have a feeling people in this country will vote for him because he is not black and he is not a woman.
      It's sad but I think republicans in this country will vote along party lines no matter what the candidates policies are.
      So anyway I don't think she would win.

  • NelsonR, on 05/15/2008, -2/+5It's time for many of us to allow Hillary to go back to her original job as Senator for New York and truly represent her constituents. Well, if that is why she ran for Senator or was it her stepping stone towards the White House?
    Time to attack the main politico now for all his past corruption, Keating Five, flip flopping and using his service record in another wrong war to perpetuate the mystic of being a grand old man, John McCain. We mostly all know he is a parody of Bush and America cannot afford another Bush twin in the White House. Our economy, our world reputation and future is on the line.
    Here we come for you next Johnny Boy, the war was always wrong and evil with lies in every nook and cranny emanating from Washington, D.C. while creating misery in the world. That is not the America I once knew.
  • CrudE, on 05/15/2008, -11/+9Barack Obama--Change We Can Believe In!
    • ibone, on 05/15/2008, -7/+6LOL, if you think the president has the power to change this country I got a bridge some where I can sell you.
    • TheHeat, on 05/15/2008, -2/+1I believe Crude just posted it in reference to Hillary's big change -- that is, being reasonable, and not trying to sabotage the DNC and it's party members by belittling her opponent, Barack.

      Or at least I hope that's what Crude meant.
  • whatsupimphil, on 05/15/2008, -5/+4"she said it would be a terrible mistake for her supporters to vote for John McCain over Barack Obama" - so I assume the mistake she's talking about is letting obama win the nomination in the first place? Because she has already told us how mccain's experience makes him more prepared to be commander and chief than obama.
    • getbusyliving, on 05/15/2008, -0/+2Valid comment. The bitch flip flopped again.
  • azntzouie, on 05/15/2008, -2/+3Video of the quote:

    It's too bad that Hillary's rationale is coming back to her so late in the election process.
  • chrgrose, on 05/15/2008, -3/+20Sounds like she's preparing to pull out.
    • getbusyliving, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I would have pulled out of her a long time ago.
      • getbusyliving, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Holy ***** I meant to say "If I were her I would have pulled out a long time ago".
  • DDMX, on 05/15/2008, -3/+5If you're so concerned about voters voting for McCain, get out of the election.

    • Vodd9, on 05/15/2008, -2/+1Hilary is a trap?
    • fjavier, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0great comment guy!
      I tried to say something similar (I have -2 lol!), but couldn't explain it as well as you :-) congratulations.

      Obama and Clinton are managed by the same people.

      Sometimes i feel they make us stupid or see us as stupids...

      ¡Que cara más dura!
  • JNudda, on 05/15/2008, -2/+19In related news, Hillary confirms that gravity is indeed real, and that 2 + 2 doesn't equal 22, but rather 4.
    • fjavier, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0That demonstrates that there is intelligent entities inside and outside earth :-)
      I am very happy XDDDDDD
  • rentmitchum, on 05/15/2008, -7/+27Clinton's supporters hate Obama cause he's black and Obama's hate Clinton because she's a horrible person. You can't reconcile hate, you can't reason with hate. Hate is a powerful tool of the dark side, but it isn't stronger than the way of the Jedi.

    Where did I go with that?
    • Cyrus042, on 05/15/2008, -7/+3There are plenty of voters who think women aren't capable of leadership. (And I think many people on Digg as well) There's a lot more than just "she's a horrible person". Which she's not, she's certainly ambitious, but I personally believe she has the best of intentions.
    • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -4/+1Actually, you're supposed to hate evil, it says so right in the Bible. Your issue ought to be when people hate the wrong things, or love the wrong things.
      Amos 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good,
      Psalms 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
      • rentmitchum, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3Trolls can regenerate, so bring alchemist fire's or acid vials kids. We're only on 3rd level here, and Pocket Skiprockinson didn't learn Fireball yet.
    • flink405, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6Over 90% of black people are voting for the black candidate. And that isn´t racism?
      • Jektal, on 05/15/2008, -0/+5Well... it's the warm, fuzzy, kind.
      • veganpunk, on 05/16/2008, -0/+1Well the old white guys haven't had a good track record in a while so who could blame them. I'm white, and I'm voting for Obama because SHOCK I think he's the best candiate that has a chance of winning.
  • WaldoX, on 05/15/2008, -13/+2secretly hillary is in love with obama.... love is next to hate
  • WaldoX, on 05/15/2008, -12/+1secretly hillary is in love with obama. love is next to hate.
  • Neorio, on 05/15/2008, -3/+15I heard that the folks in West Virginia wouldn't vote for Obama solely because he isn't white. Saying some pretty backwards things like "Wouldn't want a black man in my house, so why should there be one in the white house?"

    Face it - whole communities of Americans are just that ignorant that they would vote based on race more than anything else. Perhaps it works both ways in predominantly black regions too.

    Geez, I hope for an American that can just get over this "race" crap - to the point where it just doesn't matter anymore.
    • ahalbert, on 05/15/2008, -6/+3Just because someone does not want to vote for Obama does not mean their racist....Cant people have other political opinions
      • Mejari, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4Did you not read the quotes he was referring to? He wasn't saying all people opposed to Obama are racists, but it's been proven that some (a significant % of WV voters, for example) indeed are.
    • flink405, on 05/15/2008, -3/+3So what do you have to say to the over 90% of the black voters that only voted for the black candidate?
      If Obama was white he would not get 90+% of the black vote.
      • Jektal, on 05/15/2008, -0/+4"Perhaps it works both ways in predominantly black regions too. Geez, I hope for an American that can just get over this "race" crap - to the point where it just doesn't matter anymore." - Neorio

        He already said what he had to say about that, you just chose not to read it.
  • whiteguysamurai, on 05/15/2008, -5/+26Anyone but McCain, if that guy gets elected we are all in deep *****.
    • skrowl, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2Which of his positions make you say that?
    • DonkeyKongJr, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1We're already in deep *****, in case you hadn't noticed. McCain will be more of the same. He's not going to do anything different or new.
  • forgiste, on 05/15/2008, -3/+10Maybe I had her pegged wrong, she just puts up a relentless fight. I still think humility and adaptability are more important attributes of a good leader than acting like a cornered shrew, however.
    • haylel, on 05/15/2008, -1/+4I dugg you up because you gave me the mental image of Hillary Clinton as a cornered shrew, and it was fantastic.
    • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2I think duty and integrity are more important. If even half of the people we elected actually followed the oath they took to uphold and defend the Constitution we'd be sitting pretty.
    • getbusyliving, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3"cornered shrew", incredibly apt description. Dug up.
  • Cubby2Zeta, on 05/15/2008, -1/+8I whole heartedly disagree with all of both Obama and Hillary's politics. But she is correct in that someone wanting to vote for her shouldn't vote McCain. Obama and her represent the same ideology, thus, if voters were truly voting out of true idealogical reason, Left would be the way to go. But, the fact that many of her supporters would switch indicates that perhaps those voters are voting for her for the wrong reason anyhow. Maybe some of that is race based, but I suspect that the true reason is that these voters are conciously unaware of even their own ideology and are voting purely out of ignorance ans asperions cast by the mainstream media on conservatives. McCain has made it his job to publicly stick it to conservatives to win the adoration of the media, putting him in a position to win this election.
    • Wisgary, on 05/15/2008, -1/+2You forgot to mention Ron Paul at the end there.
  • soneill34, on 05/15/2008, -1/+6Dugg for Hillary finally trying to disassociate herself with the West Virginia vote
  • 22magnum, on 05/15/2008, -2/+6wait? she has a heart!?
  • kipmartin, on 05/15/2008, -1/+10ive never thought McCain was better than Obama or Hillary. to vote for McCain basically ensures a SCOTUS full of losers, a gridlocked congress, and a perpetuation of a low IQ in the Oval Office.

    Hillary was overly ambitious, but hardly evil. and Obama might be a dreamer, but at least hes looking outside the beltway for answers. Obama and Hillary: there are FAR worse things.
    • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -2/+2Gridlocked Congress, that sounds like a winner to me. Congress is at its best when its fighting itself.
      • nirav72, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3No, A congress is at its best when it is performing checks and balances on the executive branch and not doing it favors just because the elected members are from the same party as the guy sitting in the oval office.



  • fjavier, on 05/15/2008, -3/+0lol! is she triying to say that obama and she are the same thing ? :O:O:O
    • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -2/+0That would be a true statement, so I don't think she meant to say that.
  • Auryn, on 05/15/2008, -3/+8edit: digg me down (ugh! why can't i just erase my own empty comment within the allocated time!)
  • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -5/+1Haven't we just spent the last several months establishing why you shouldn't ever believe her or trust her? We'll see if the comments in the thread miraculously become kinder to her now that she's saying what you all want to hear. It's still a lie though, you really should do the opposite of what she says. Although unfortunately that would mean voting for McCain which is also a stupid idea. Its too bad I can't vote "No Confidence" and get a whole new set of candidates.
  • DanMcGuinness, on 05/15/2008, -8/+2As a Clinton supporter, despite many Obamabots being immature, mudslinging douchecocks, I'd probably vote for Obama because Obama is so unlike many of his supporters and doesn't cut down Clinton for stupid reasons at every opportunity. It would really be nice if certain Democrat supporters stopped attacking the Democratic opponents of their favored candidate and thusly alienating about half of the party's voters. It's just not clever if you want a Democrat to win in November.
    • Barackalypse, on 05/15/2008, -5/+0He doesn't need to, he has enough fanatical supporters to do it for him so he gets to keep his hands clean. Its rather the same tactic he used by voting present so many times in Illinois rather than risk voting for something that would be unpopular.
    • ClawBlade, on 05/15/2008, -0/+1"As a Clinton supporter, despite many Obamabots being immature, mudslinging douchecocks"

      This brings to mind a popular meme, I think it goes something like "Pot. Kettle. Black."
  • Jordan117, on 05/15/2008, -3/+6Notice how she said it would be "a terrible mistake to not vote for John McCain... um, I mean Barack Obama".

    Freudian slip?
    • fjavier, on 05/16/2008, -0/+0yes, if they do the opposite they say, then we do the opposite they recommend us???
  • Hillsfar, on 05/15/2008, -5/+3Already her previous words against Obama are being used against her. In response to her saying people should vote for Obama over McCain, the Republican National Committee Spokesman Alex Conant issued a statement: "Just as Sen. Clinton herself has questioned Obama's qualifications to be president and enact change, so do many of her supporters." FRATRICIDE.
  • theCreator79, on 05/15/2008, -2/+7If Clinton wins the rest of the primaries & superdelates - 70/30, Obama still wins!! Do the math race is over! Shame on Clinton for staying in. She's probably just in it to raise money to pay back her loan to the campaign
  • xbrok3nxfairyx, on 05/15/2008, -1/+1As much as I want Obama to win, between the two of them (Hillary and Obama) they have created the divide within their own party. I know they are gunning against each other to win but their views are fairly similar in contrast to the Republicans, so maybe if they hadn't been such hard ass competitors the Democrats wouldn't hate one of their own. Its scary as hell to imagine another Republican in office so we better get our ***** together if everyone really does want a Democrat in office.
