Speaking with CNN's Larry King Monday night, Hillary Clinton said "without a doubt" she would campaign vigorously for Barack Obama in the Fall should she lose the nomination fight.

Watch the video:

But Clinton hedged when King asked whether Obama was better prepared than John McCain to be President. At first she answered that she thinks Obama "can" win, but that she "will" win. When King pressed her on her answer Clinton responded, "that's going to be up to the voters to sort through."

Watch the exchange with King:

Clinton also downplayed the "double digit" talk that has surrounded her chances of winning in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, saying "a win is a win" and promising to stay in the race.

I wouldn't trust Hillary or Bill to give me bottled water, let alone campaign for my candidate.

THE CHEAT IS ON!!

It's already happening!! I'm hearing of broken voting machines with only one working in precincts in the black community. .

This has long been a tool/trick to suppress vote count. (I worked the polls as a Judge and an Inspector and have witnessed dirty tricks being played on unsuspecting voters, such as
'you're at the wrong precinct',
'we can't find your name in the book'; or
'being redirected to a wrong or nonexisting precinct

I also read recent reports of voter fraud investigations in some states that Hillary claimed victory in, like New Hampshire, New York,Tennessee and perhaps Ohio. I'm suspicious of why Puerto Rico switched from a caucus to a primary election after a visit from Bill Clinton. Someone in a high position was fired the next week.

I will post links to these news stories as soon as I find them. Claims are made by reputable people. Mayor Bloomberg's name is attached to the New York report.

If anyone cares to search and post it before I find it, have at it.

We all know Hillary does not care about the democratic party or the voters if they don't do what she wants. She doesn't bother to thank her own helpers when she loses a state.

Hope poll watchers are keeping a sharp eye on the voting today.

She *will* win, she says. I remember how she said in December with firm conviction that "it would all be over by February 5th", and now here she is struggling to stay relevant in April. I grow weary of a candidate who so blatantly underestimated her first main opponent, and then seems to be already underestimating her next.

If I were Obama, I think I would ask HIllary to make a public plea for her followers to vote for their party, then ask her to disappear. I can easily imagine her working the campaign trail against Obama, rather than for him, twisting a knife in his back all the way to November.

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON. You are a masterful liar, but we know you can't tell the difference between your truth and the real world. I agree with the others here who hope you get kicked in your pantsuit today by the good people of Pennsylvania. The sooner you go away the better for all of us, and for the democratic party, and for this country.

I am ashamed to say you are my senator. But I won't vote for you next time. You've taught me to hate you, and I will.

There is no way Hillary Clinton can win the nomination without destroying unity in the Democratic party. If she does well in PA and the superdelegates give it to her despite her having won fewer elected delegates, Obama supporters will be outraged and either stay home or vote for McCain. I worry that a vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain.

Just like true Obamabots-ungracious and seething. Be sure and check out the article in the NYT pointing out that Barry is the choice of the super wealthy Hedge Fund Managers. So much for the facade of being for the little guy. Let's see how long it will take HuffPo to post that article.

After her and the Hillbilly killed any chance of party unity. The Queen will help out. Did anyone tell the Queen that her and her husband legacy is in the cellar. They will go down like Barry Goldwater. Who would have thought the Clintons would be the ones to have put the knife in Democratic party. Hillarys kama kaze act was great

I watched the Larry King show for as long as I could handle it and Hillary was condesending and said she would help Barack but it also seemed with every chance she had she would but she will win or that she was the best candidate and expected to win always something attached without saying it. It is all conditional but I think also she has reached where she knows she is hurting erslf and Bill. I am disgusted by MSM pandering to her for Larry King and Keith O and who knows else on tonight she got away cheap and got free exposure for it. Is the msm's way to republicanize this or are they being unfair and un balanced by showing this the election eve to help keep the nasty going. I am really not happy that the use of this in a very biased way assisted her before with SNL and the Daily Show. At least Colbert has tried to have both on and not displayed such obvious free support in this way.

Why do I not believe that Bill and Hillary will so much as lift a finger to support Obama in the General?

I suspect Hillary will go in for an elective heart bypass before she were to campaign for Obama.

Quadruple.

This is exactly what Clinton should be saying at this point. It's going to be very important for Obama to have the support of Clinton and her supporters in the general. She strikes me as calm, self assured, and reasonable in this interview, and it just reinforces what I've thought about her during this primary. She's better than hr campaign. She's getting terrible advice. And she has made a big mistake by following it instead of letting the public see who she is.

And it's a good thing Obama has been smart enough to avoid slinging mud. It's going to make it much easier for Clinton to campaign for him. And it keeps his negatives down.

She is a great lady. She was invited to be on Larry King and accepted. Obama declined and has not given any press briefings or taken and answered questions for 10 days. He doesn't want to answer questions on his poor showing at the debate or on all of his negative campaigning.
Also, it sure is taking him an awful lot of money and time to stay 7 to 12 points down from Clinton.
I think that Clinton will be our President.

Last I checked his schedule he was busy campaigning in PA where he is the underdog. He doesn't have the Clinton name recognition nor the Clintonites, Rendell, Nutter and others on the stump for him.

I agree that her campaign has not helpped her whatsoever. If she would have just stuck with what she believed was right for the country and not sided with McCain in attacking Obama she wouldn't appear in such bad shape. I went into the primaries not having a hard time with voting for her should she win the nomination but i'm not so sure anymore. Anyone else feel the same?

What is with the 'big states' argument, Hillary? Here are the delegate counts, descending, with winners. You think only the top few matter?

Democratic Primary States (by delegate size)
California -- Clinton
New York -- Clinton
Texas -- Obama/Clinton (delegates/popular vote)
Pennsylvania -- TBD
Illinois -- Obama
Ohio -- Clinton
North Carolina -- TBD
New Jersey -- Clinton
Massachusetts -- Clinton
Georgia -- Obama
Virginia -- Obama
Washington -- Obama
Wisconsin -- Obama
Minnesota -- Obama
Missouri -- Obama
Maryland -- Obama

I distrust both Hillary and Obama equally. Neither has been especially convincing to me when I have watched them "perform". All I can say, is that I DO agree with what Hillary said here: all that matters at this point is that McCain does not get the job. And for those who make the silly suggestion that she would somehow taint Obama's campaign, I think even she has more to gain from a Democrat being in office than from a Republican.

I also wanted to say that I initially clicked on this link because I wanted to see what Hillary said, and how people were reacting, because I figured before I even saw the responses here that this was a "no-win" for her in the minds of Obamans -- she's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. So she states that she will definitely support Obama if he wins the nomination, and explains why that would be important, and the reaction is the same as if she had said she would not. It seems that some people need some Prozac or some kind of a mood stabilizer to see if they can gain some equilibrium on these matters. All this campaign rhetoric is exactly that; CAMPAIGN RHETORIC.

WHY IS THE MEDIA HIDING THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY'S SECRET RELIGION (CULT ?) Prays To Jesus For The Elite To Rule The World !

It was obvious as one would watch the 'coverage' of the war that all of the cable news networks were working for the Bush Regime. The ONLY place we as Americans could attempt to gather some truth was through C-Span, Huff, Democracy Now and a few other sites which would show all of the networks to be actually misleading America. Now, with as simple a tool as Google, Americans can find out information that the networks won't give. Hillary's secret religion (cult) known as 'The Family', a D.C. based group of the richest folks in America who 'pray to Jesus for the elite to rule the world' . The fact that there has been absolutely no mention of her cult leads one to believe that the higher-ups at the networks (and other big corporations) are a part of 'The Family'...... You can find a great list of links regarding 'The Family' at www.Blacks4Barack.org. Truthtellers like Huffington, The Nation, Mother Jones and others have all done recent stories about 'The Family'....but where's CNN, MSNBC, Fox or the gang. They all know that there's an internet rumbling going on right now about this cult. But....no mention. Do the research yourselves....Google 'Hillary The Family' or 'The Fellowship' or 'The Christian Mafia'....

A Obama win in Pa would be a pryer answered ...it would be an end to all of this.
CLinton should not be allowed to campaign for Obama...thanks, but no thanks.
Rmemeber this.........If McCain wins she can run for President again in 4 years. If Obama should win the election she would have to wait 8 years....a long wait and she'll be too old.
