- kdawg1012, on 06/07/2008, -12/+100It was a good speech. It's time to unite the family.
- HHP2K, on 06/07/2008, -12/+67Smartest move she's made her entire campaign. Good job Hillary.
- Carv, on 06/07/2008, -6/+61I can imagine how hard that must have been for her. She gave a great speech, and I'm glad that she chose to do the right thing.
- rinote, on 06/07/2008, -5/+56I realize that most of Digg hates Hillary, but she will be an incredible asset to Obama's campaign. The last thing we need is another Republican in office. I was going to vote for Hillary, but I'm not going to be spiteful and cross party lines to vote for McCain like some people I've talked to. Go Obama!
- domokunt, on 06/07/2008, -4/+40This is odd.. everyone is burying the hillary bashing comments.
- chicoer2001, on 06/07/2008, -4/+38ANy Hillary suporter who votes for McCain never believed in what Hillary stood for. Obama and Hillary are the same, they stand for the same things. They're Democrats. McCain is a Republican. The people who say they'll vote for McCain if Hillary isnt the nom, makes me wonder the resason they were voting for her in the first place.
- masageef, on 06/07/2008, -6/+38I was impressed, she seemed hurt but still somewhat genuine.
- Depthfunction, on 06/07/2008, -20/+47Our long national nightmare has finally ended: Hillary is gone.
Six months ago, I dreaded the Clinton v. Giuliani matchup that so many pundits were predicting for this fall as the worst possible situation (truly lose-lose). I'm satisfied with how the primary season has turned out not simply because I support Obama, but because I'd rather see McCain in the White House instead of a fascist like Giuliani. - rinote, on 06/07/2008, -3/+29McCain bashing is so hot right now.
- adam07, on 06/07/2008, -4/+21I hope she pounded it into her supporters' heads. "And that's why we must elect Barack Obama!!!" She really did give an excellent speech though. I was getting very angry with her before but she gained a lot of my respect today.
- JohnnyKdiggs, on 06/07/2008, -4/+20Whoa! A pig just flew by my window!
- dualboy24, on 06/07/2008, -1/+16Been reading hillaryclintonforum.net every few days for months, do not have an account there since they generally ban anyone that may present alternative opinion, in general the people that post there do a great disservice to Hillary and the Democratic party. Anyone that would vote McCain to simply spite Obama and the DNC should realize they are voting against everything they supported for the past year, simply out of anger and resentment created by false stories and stupidity.
- rockchops, on 06/07/2008, -23/+38about EFFING time!!
- ringworm, on 06/07/2008, -3/+18Well, credit where credit is due, she did the right thing. Time to let bygones be bygones. There are older fish to fry.
- inactive, on 06/07/2008, -3/+18McCain is not a conservative. He uses conservative-sounding words the way Harry Potter uses Latin-sounding phrases -- to cast spells. He thinks the words are magic words that will make conservatives like him, but he has no idea what they mean. I keep expecting him to begin waving a magic wand around every time he speaks: "marketus basim reforminum."
- twiztidsinz, on 06/07/2008, -2/+15But.. but... but... 9/11!!!!!
- dualboy24, on 06/07/2008, -2/+14Thank god for that, she was never truly evil or a bad candidate, its just people have their wants, and on digg its been generally Obama as of late. Now that she supports him they wont attack her anymore.
- FutureGuy, on 06/07/2008, -1/+13I salute her determination, even though I never supported here I have to say she is a fighter. Now its time to get back the White house.
- tardmaster, on 06/07/2008, -0/+11It's not the same. By suspending, she keeps her delegates until the convention and can keep raising money.
- rinote, on 06/07/2008, -5/+15***** you, antisemiteman!
- Ydnar723, on 06/07/2008, -1/+10She has to raise more money to pay off the debt, if I heard correctly I believe if she just ended her campaign she could not raise more money for her debt and she can do this before Obama is announced officially as the Democratic Delegate. Rumor has it though she would officially end her campaign mid next week.
- Stormwern, on 06/07/2008, -0/+9Dugg for 18M cracks in the glass ceiling :)
- CannedMango, on 06/07/2008, -2/+10There's no time to waste energy on Hillary now that she's finally conceded... bring on the McCain bashing!
- Vodd9, on 06/07/2008, -2/+10McCain does what he's being told to do.
He's a mere tool, much like Bush.. - Hazardc, on 06/07/2008, -1/+8Well it IS about her, it's about HER ending her campaign
Im an Obama supporter, but you cant just act like hillary lost in some landslide victory, the vote was practically 50/50. She was speaking to a crowd of HER supporters. What is she supposed to do? Go out there and just be like "Ok everyone, all your support for me was in vain, GOBAMA!"??
I thought she did a great job, beause HER concession speech SHOULD be about HER and involve a TRANSITION into supporting obama. From now on, her speeches should be about Obama, but give me a break. This was the best speech she gave the whole campaign, and not just because it was her bowing out. - GreatOne08, on 06/07/2008, -4/+11She has ran a great campaign, she deserves a round of applause
- imnojezus, on 06/07/2008, -0/+7You know, even though I agree with a lot of what's on Huffington Post, I think you're right. It's just as dangerous for the Left to inject opinion into facts as it is for the Right. We have to be careful with what we define as a news source, and not end up reacting to irrational opinion (i.e. Fox News) with irrational opinions of our own. If you agree with every story a news source tells, you really should question the validity of that news source.
- bg2500, on 06/07/2008, -4/+11Love her or hate her, she is a force to be reckoned with. It seems most Digg users have been behind Obama for some time now (after realizing Ron was not gonna win, yeah, me to, but comes down lesser of two evils blah blah) and have had a lot of hate for Hillary. Lets embrace her and realize she can be an asset. This is a good day.
- CannedMango, on 06/07/2008, -2/+9Having Hillary campaign for Obama and bringing her die hard supporters into the fold will make Obama near unbeatable. Though it's no time to get cocky, look at what happened to Hillary's "inevitable" win.
We need to hit McCain hard and often. Let everyone see how unfit he is to be president. - paigeinphilly, on 06/07/2008, -8/+15What concerns me are the McSame trolls (the ones he has been recruiting to troll blogs) pretending to be a Hillary fan...while continuing to bash Obama..only just to say..
Im voting McCain..who is with me!...or something to that tune..know the difference folks.
Also my sister is a fierce Hillary fan (i'm a passionate Obama supporter) but now she is actually thinking about joining a Obama field office and doing some grass roots stuff like her big sis...
beautiful!

Obama/Webb 08 - andreeee, on 06/07/2008, -2/+8http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/07/clinton.uni ...
- ricepaper, on 08/06/2009, -4/+10Thank God. It's about time she stepped down from her podium and allowed the democrats to focus on putting their Presidential candidate in office.
With that said, it was a well-spoken and graceful speech. Let's just hope that she follows through with her words. - buddhistMonkey, on 06/07/2008, -0/+6Not for one second did I fear a Giuliani nomination. I knew that even if he won, his decision to put New York City's emergency response headquarters in the World Trade Center would kill his candidacy, even if his many affairs/failed marriages did not. Hillary, too, I figured, was a long shot. Her unapologetic vote for Bush's War in Iraq, along with her more recent support of the Kyle-Lieberman Amendment (the preface for war with Iran) would be her undoing with the liberal base of the party.
But I got the final equation totally wrong, as I imagined a John Edwards/Willard Romney matchup. I didn't give the Democratic Party (and particularly, the early voting states like Iowa) enough credit in nominating an African-American candidate, and I gave the Republican Party too much credit in thinking that they would overlook Romney's Mormonism.
It's all for the best, though. Sadly, I wasn't an early rider on the Obama Express, but I now feel that he's the best possible candidate for our times. Conversely, John McCain is among the worst choices for the GOP, particularly now that he's alienated Independents by visiting "Crazy Baseland" (as Jon Stewart calls it) so often that he looks like he was born and raised there. - ligyron, on 06/07/2008, -3/+9Hillary has endorsed Obama and Obama is the democratic nominee. By bashing Hillary you're bashing the democratic party now. Obama is a democrat, and bashing his party isn't going to help unite America. What's important now is that the democrats don't lose supporters, and that Obama and the democratic party can defeat McCain
- Skurj, on 06/07/2008, -1/+7Probably the most dignified part of her campaign, but she's doing her job as a politician and supporting her party so i guess all's well that ends well. i think she knows that if she ever wants to be taken seriously again she's going to have to suck it up and lose gracefully... as far as it's possible at this point.
- TheWriteGuy, on 06/07/2008, -1/+7I'll give Hillary credit for making it more possible for another woman to seek the office of President. Who knows... if Obama becomes President, perhaps the GOP will nominate a woman to run against him in 2012.
- Daniel591992, on 06/07/2008, -6/+12If you want to feel a bit depressed, take a read here:
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/show ...
:( - AllenHSmilden, on 06/07/2008, -1/+7This is one Hillary supporter that is now voting for Obama :). Go team.
- iPirate, on 06/07/2008, -1/+6Edwards also "suspended" his campaign. It's just what they do.
- azurathus, on 06/07/2008, -1/+6You're right, that is depressing.
- AndrewDB, on 06/07/2008, -0/+5mmahhh flying bacon.
- rinote, on 06/07/2008, -0/+5You have to be an egomaniac to run for president. She came very close to being the Democratic Nominee herself. If you listened to the entirety of her speech you'd realize how many times she urged her supporters to vote Obama into office. Both candidates are history makers and inspirations. She is an incredibly strong ally to have in this campaign and Obama is lucky to have her support.
- Stormwern, on 06/07/2008, -0/+5Well said, it's pretty disturbing when you have to search for a pundit that gives you both sides of the story. I would count Stewart and Colbert as truely bipartisan though, they have both praised and ridiculed pretty much everyone.
- ligyron, on 06/07/2008, -1/+6She made a lot of mistakes during her campaign. She, like many others, underestimated Obama in the beginning. This was a nice speech, and she will be an invaluable asset in uniting her supporters.
- dinot, on 06/08/2008, -1/+6We bash her when she does something bad, and praise her when she does something good. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
- jellygraph, on 06/08/2008, -0/+5Sure, Guiliani would have been an absolute monster, but there is still a huge difference between having a democrat like Hillary or Barack and having McCain in the Whitehouse. Don't vote McCain, unless you happen to be that minority of people who think the last 7 years have been wonderful (in which case, you are probably a deranged individual).
- Dylson, on 06/07/2008, -5/+10No.
- iPirate, on 06/07/2008, -1/+6You're so unlike the candidate that you support.
- DD2CC2U, on 06/07/2008, -13/+18Did anyone notice how McCain has changed into a liberal for the General Election? This guy McCain will lie cheat and steal to get elected. How can anyone trust him? Conservatives should be really concerned since it seems McCain has lied to them. I do not believe anything McCain says since he Flip - Flops depending on which way the wind is blowing today.
- sanman, on 06/07/2008, -7/+12Oh great - now instead of all the spam against Hillary on digg, now we'll get all kinds of spam against McCain.
Obamabots, refuel and roll out! :P -
