CNN

athank goodness Hillary proved you wrong Wolf. She won everything she wanted and more. Now maybe you'll stop giving us your personal editorials, and begin giving us facts. We want more Lou Dobbs and Anderson Cooper.

Hillary does not have the experience it takes to be the President!!

"Impact their earning power"? What? Really?

Good of you to inform Mr. Blitzer that a President Obama would reasign Mr. Blitzer to a less lucrative position. And good of you also to inform the rest of us that Mr. Obama is a rank Stalinist.

I did not know that.

Wolf Blitzer, Oprah, Kennedy are all selfish. They all are rich and they do not care what Obama will bring to working family because it will not impact their earning power. Do not listen to them. Vote from your own interest and do not just follow them because following them is not good for you and your family

The real democratic front runner will soon be known. And this time, there would be no tears, trick, tactic or fraud.

It is interested to note that NBC went to court to prevent Kucinich appearing on the debate in Nevada. One of the reasons for this censorship is that they are afraid that Kucinich will talk about what happen in New Hampshire. The CNN/Gallup polls were actually accurate; the polls showed that Obama with a lead of 7 points on the eve of New Hampshire primary. Also the exit poll supports the same findings that Obama is the winner. Indeed there was a deceit benefiting the so-called surprised winner. Eventually the American people will know the truth, and when the truth reveals the voters’ propensity will clearly go toward the leader with the sound judgment, not the divider. Kucinich really believes that there was a fraud. He supports this belief with hard cash, by paying for the recounts that is now in order. Kucinich believes that Barrack Obama has won the New Hampshire primary; and Hillary Clinton came in second. The Diebold scanning machine were breached. For instance, technicians who support the Diebold machines were allowed to break the security seal to change the memory card on the scanning machine during the Election Day under the pretense that the Diebold machine broke down. There seems to be evidence that the surprise winner got a bump of +4.5% and the second candidate’s vote counts were subtracting by 2.5%

WOLF,
PLEASE have Hillary explain what 35 years of experience is. Whatever she is counting are not days as an elected official....why is that then measured against Obama? He's had plenty of experience in the community and the world before becoming a senator. According to Hillary's calculations, I wonder how many years Obama can come up with?
Thanks.

Women for Obama, Where were you during Ken Starrs investigation? Google rezko, then ask yourself the same question?

I am an avid watcher of CNN and enjoy it thoroughly. However, your coverage on the primaries is biased. For the sake of our country, please don't demonstrate favoritism. If your coverage continues idolizing Obama and critizing anyone that makes a racial slur we will have a racial war, not an election.

Stop it...........period!

Mr. Blitzer,

Everybody I know in the press - and frankly that's a lot of people, as I've been at it for decades - thinks that you outgrew CNN long ago and for that matter that CNN shrank out from under you to become what even the Los Angeles Times calls the "Corrupt News Network". You really ought to exercise your next option to get off that sinking ship and over to some more reputable outfit. Let Cooper and the other Sophomores run the thing aground. Take the longboat, sir. It'll be better for the country, for the Fourth Estate, for you.

Go Hillary–Go Hillary..i love you BABE you so smart.
NH told American people ,we need smart leader, not OPRAH copyyy[obama] ,change-hop,like in church..

Agron

Michigan pro Hillary 08

DO NOT be swayed by the media! What we need is EXPERIENCE that = HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!! The republicans want it to be Obama so they can tear him apart. Who has been fighting them for years? Please make this decision based on facts not media or Oprah coverage. VOTE HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bummer about Bill Richardson, he has a lot to offer! I hope he stays involved with national politics, I value his experience. We would all benefit if he becomes involved in the Clinton Administration.

I made a mistake on the year Clinton was impeached, it was 1998, instead of 1994. The court filing was 1994.

Dear Wolf,

First of all thank you for what you are doing to help people in this country to understand what is at issue!!

But, we are do America a disservice with not giving each candidate in this race the same kind of coverage!!!

Obama and Clinton are the candidates of Big MONEY and they can be bought by everyone!! They are trying to be all things to all people and the Media is eaten it up!!!

But, the only candidate in this race that can be elected in November is getting NO coverage!! That is John Edwards of North Carolina!!!!

Edwards had a big event in South Carolina and NO press time nationally That is not good for this country!!!!

EDWARDS IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT CAN BE ELECTED!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary can get us respect around the world again and can fight for the middle class!

Together we can create change? Give me a break! Barack... tell me what I have to do to get the change other than vote for you. How am I going to create change? That's why we elect a president.....to change what needs to be fixed. I already have a job....I want the politicians to do their job. Your " together we can", and "yes we can" speeches are very nice, but saying that we can isn't the same as getting it done. Where were you when we needed change in Illinois and you were absent for so many votes. It is time that we see what your record is and we expect the media to report on your record too!!!!

Hillary 08

Dear Friends:
Is the NAACP equality based? Did they give equally? Oh so many nationalities and man and woman and heroes in this race.
Why little Italy of the USA and China down and Rumba Cha Cha Cha!
Let's Dance all Americans. Get out and vote equality on the bases of who they are not on who is carrying them.

Dear Friends:
Remember the movie Maverick. The little lady came in when the men were in the bub. Grabbed the money and said kiss good bye. Off the the gambling floor she went. Iron your own shirt and out she went.

Baby Bunting Obama wineing for Kerry me is a gamblin man but does not see
that woman are not prone to not note disrespect and the tag a long only works with certain type of woman. No woman in America wants to be told you owe me.

In an open caucas race like Iowa, Obama will more than likely win. Women in such situations will tend to vote the way of their husbands because of the pressure to do so. But when it comes to a primary where it is private, women will rally around Hillary Clinton base on her experience, record, and plans. The men are rallying around Obama and no one commenting about it. I was shocked to read Obama national Co Chair remarks about Hillary tears. Jesse Jackson Jr is beginnig to show his true colors. I hope Obama fires him. This is not the change type of politics we want in America. His comments are the type of things Al Sharpton will say to create race wars.

When the media examine Obama record of absenteeism on key votes in Washington and Chicago, they will have to question his commitment to serve the people.

paranoia strikes deep in to your life it will creep. these people are serious journalist come on stop being so paranoid .

To Amy B., NYC: The group of people I was with also noticed that the CNN team showed their disappointment that Obama did not win the NH primary.

Why is it that when women “tear up” it is considered a weakness, but when men, like Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Giuliani, and even Bill Clinton “tear up” it is considered an attribute?

Is Obama truthful? Seems like he changed his story a few times about Rezko affair.

I am a freindly Canadian neighbour. What happens in your yard effects my yard. Therefore, I give you my voice.
Eighty-five percent of my television viewing is CNN, especially now during the primarys. I am absolutely astounded that CNN, so obviously, does not support Hillary Clinton. I hope the women, on the US continent, pull together and support this brave women. You have been fighting for your rights for hundreds of years and now the door is open to you. Ladies, it is time you form a net work like the men have always done. They are doing it right now, under your very noses, as they join together to support Obama. Hillary is the power we need in this world. She has the experience, the integrety, and the desire to bring hope back to your lives.
Do not fail her and mostly do not fail yourselves.

CNN give her a break. Thank You

Obama is a good speaker but that's it. No real experience just a good spin

The most powerful nation on the earth needs a proven leader. Vote Democratic and vote Hillary.

Why are you bringing race card again.If Blacks vote for Obama is that not racial. Stay away from race card. Obama is rookie and is not ready to be President.

Well, it just goes to show that you cannot believe in the polls. HURRAY FOR HILLARY! I was really afraid that Obama was actually going to win this the way the polls were stating, but luckily people stood up and fought for Mrs. Clinton. The next few weeks are going to be really exciting. I just that Mrs. Clinton will continue to show her "softer side." I wish that I could get out on the road and help to bring her to victory. At this stage I am afraid that if Obama does win the nomination we will loose to a Republican and then we will be in a worse situation than we already are. Our government is so out of sorts right now. Bush has no clue as to what the people of this country wants. He is totally clueless. I have never seen a president that is so out of. It seems that everything that he has done was in the sake of his "father's" name! I just hope that the people of this country will not let another person BUY his elections again. I know that I will be watching the next few weeks with great concerns.

Well, Wolf, nice CYA after you and all the other media experts got the polls completely wrong in N.H. While I do support Obama even I realize that the media's habit of calling races and saturating viewers with ridiculous polls serves to underestimate worthy challangers and uber campaigners like the Clintons. So how about this: Lets leave the results to the actual voters.

Oh,and remeber, Obama only lost by 2% points.

The country is now posed for big changes. The inspiration and hope that Obama is
giving the young people of this nation who have never voted and are suddenly swept up by
the possibility of real change. Obama's message of change,hope and planet awareness rings out loud among the younger voters and older ones too.
I think people will continue to realizing Obama's message now that anything is possible and hope is not a fantasy.
Two years ago Neil Young wrote a song called " Lookin' for a Leader" and named
Obama in the song as the possible president and leader whom we all so desperately need right now to guide this country into better days.
The time is now......we found a leader!

Personally, I think the news would be more interesting if the newscasters would be allowed to give their opinions. Why should they just have to go along with the news with a blank look on there face. Lou Dobbs gives his opinion and I think the rest of them should start doing it to. I think it is time that people stood up to the higher ups. Without the little people they wouldn't have any news show to broadcast.

A bunch of crazies on here. It is a good thing that all democrats for Hillary do not post their comments. Seems like all of the younger computer users for Obama get on here and post and they think that is all of the citizens in the United States. Not.

Go Hillary

Exciting news! When I was in the Air Force, my engineering squadron had a favorite saying: "You can be part of the train or part of the tracks." Well, the "Straight Talk Express" has left the station and we find ourselves at a personal junction. We can: 1) Stand and watch our country's greatest chance to restore Honor and Respect to the Oval Office travel by, or 2) We can help all our friends and loved ones get on the train. Of course, cross-country trips like these require time and financial investment. The upside is, making a contribution is a wonderful way to experience this great country of ours. So I invite you to come along! Visit me at Hoosiersfor.JohnMcCain.com

Why is no one asking the question I've been waiting to hear? Hillary keeps saying she has 35 years of experience – other than her senate seat, what experience does she have?? I don't think being a first lady or her limited senate experience gives her 35 years experience. I cannot believe that anyone would believe anything she says. She is very calculating and does/says anything she thinks will be to her advantage.

Wolf:
It is time that you begin scrutinizing Obama,s "CHANGE THEME". The congress has very poor approval rating even worse than Emperor Bush. Is Obama going to fire the entire congress and start fresh. That will be a change. I know he cant do that. The very fact we don't have to deal with the emperor any longer, it is a sigh of relief. To have an African American president is also a REAL CHANGE. I don't think that will happen. In the end the white voters will not vote for him The democrats will be committing political suicide if he becomes the party nominee..

Senator Clinton proved the “experts” wrong!!! She really has shown that substance, experience, and her "proven" ability for enabling change, along with a lifelong passion and experience in actually helping the majority of Americans, is what the voters care more about when choosing the best leader for this next critical term as president! Voters are not listening to the slanted views of the media "pundits" who care more about drama and a "story", rather than reporting the truth... Americans are smarter than the "sheep" they believe we are! The NH voters proved this!!!...

Thank goodness people are finally waking up and realizing that although Obama is a brilliant orator and nice person, he lacks the actual skill, leadership, experience, and ability to truly make change happen and lead our country... talk is cheap at this point – Look at his record as a State Senator in Illinois and in DC!!! Whenever he is presented with a difficult vote, he doesn't even take a stand – he votes "present”!!! He voted “present,” effectively sidestepping issues nearly 130 times as a state senator. On a sex crime bill, Mr. Obama cast the only vote in a 58-to-0 vote!! He barely has any record for doing much as a US Senator in Washington DC, but what is interesting is that he said he would vote against the Patriot Act, yet when he joined the US Senate, he voted for it!! He said he would vote against the Iraq war, and then voted for funding, AND, he SKIPPED a tough vote on Iran, distorted what the bill authorized, and criticized those who voted for it!! This does not show the true leadership that is required for creating the change we desperately need! He’s not the “outsider” that his campaign is trying to make him out to be – yes, he has fantastic speeches, but his record shows otherwise...it proves that he is more of the typical “sidestepping” polititian and lawyer that we have seen before, who lacks the “real” leadership to get things done. The Republicans will have a field day with Obama if he ever got lucky enough to win the Democratic ticket!!!

Rookies are not needed right now to run the country in the most important job in the world.... Remember the last "rookie" who used “likeability” without substance or experience to get elected? Back then, people liked GW Bush, they didn't care that he lacked experience because he talked in generalities and made us feel good. Well guess what, he won the White House and got us into this mess!! – GW Bush ran a very similar campaign as Obama, and his inexperience has been a disaster for our country!!.... Gore and Kerry warned all of us, but we didn’t listen. Obama can talk in generalities – anyone can do this, but he has no clear plan, no clear ideas, shows a lack of “true” leadership by avoiding difficult decision-making as proven by his actual voting record, and lacks the "real world" experience to deliver on his unsubstantiated promises and “generalities” for change...Hopefully people won't make the same mistake we made with Bush by believing in another rookie with Obama.

Americans will take this critical vote very seriously for 2008 by choosing the best person who has already proven she can lead with success, has already brought about "real" change, and can truly pull our country together to restore our reputation and our world position as the leaders we were once considered. With former President Bill Clinton by Hillary’s side, we will all prosper from such an amazing team that will help bring our country back from the difficulties that we have encountered with the Bush administration... especially with the economic difficulties and international issues we are already facing today and will face over the next few years. No more rookies and false impressions, folks – let's put the best team in the White House!! Senator Clinton is the "real" change Americans need! Go Hillary!!! The country believes in you and your ability to “truly” lead and enable “real” change as our next great President!!!

I like Obama, Hillary and Edwards and will vote for the ones that get the nomination, but I am sickened by the obvious favortism the press is giving Obama. I know a lot of you will say I am wrong, but who's speech did you get to hear immediately after HILLARIES win. After Hillary's win, I clicked on the line on CNN's website that said it would take me to the demicratic candidates page, and guess what I saw. Under the headline claiming to be a picture of the four front runners in this election, was a picture of Obama, Edwards, McLain, and Huckabee, in that order. They left her out even though she clearly won, and is actually leading nationally as well. Of course they don't mention any of her accomplishments, she pointed them out during the last debate, but a lot of you say you don't know what her experiences were, and the media is failing to metion the possitives about Hillary as well. I would be saying the same thing if they had done it to Obama. I finally found her speach in it's intirety on BBC. The BRITISH broadcast. Today, after her win, I see on the news questions about "why" she won instead of well deserved congratulations. I see a pole asking if I would vote for an Obama/ Hillary ticket. The Hillary/Obama possibility wasn't given as an option. I hear a lot about the fact that Hillary's experience doesn't matter, but people repeatedly point out the negative things that came out about the Clintons while in the White House. Duh..they were" in the White House"..that means an aweful lot of us saw the entire picture well enough to put them there. As far as the negative charecteristics of our candidates is concerned, I HAVE HEARD NO ONE MENTION THE FACT OBAMA PUBLICLY ADMITTED. He not only drank alcohol and used mariguana, which Bill Clinton foolishly claimed he did not inhale " Obama also admitted to using cocaine. A proven addictive substance.Why isn't that an issue? It concerns me because I am a recovering alcoholic and I can tell you that his line, "they keep doing the same old thing, expecting different results" was coined in the Alcoholics Annomymous meetings. As I said I don't dislike Obama, I dislike the media for their obvious manipulation and unfair and unequal coverage of the other candidates. The media are masters at controlling and manipulating the public. If you don't believe me, watch the movie "Wag The Dog'. It is an exagerated story but made that way for a good reason. To expose the media as it is seen through the eyes of a lot of high profile entertainment folks who have the opportunity to see and experience the press on personal levels.

If you think it's ugly now, wait until one gets nominated and has to start campaigning against the republican party. I will base my decision on what I can read on their websites and the reactions I see from them during the debates.

Same Ole...Same Ole
Until we are treated equal and fair in every aspect of our agreement to be PEOPLE OF THIS FREE NATION, we will never be able to move forward. Senator Clinton is more criticized negatively for being a woman, seeking the Democratic Presidential nomination than Senator Obama is for being African American for seeking the same nomination..Why?, mainly because of a male dominated upper-tier of businessmen, along with the anti-feminist(most whom are married to these businessmen), where sexism is more noticeable and practiced than racism.
The mistreatment of Senator Clinton by the media, after her loss in Iowa and the very fact that EVERY media branch called her out of the race for the nomination was unfair and misrepresented the journalism that is truly expected by we the people. Stop the one sidedness and you will gain more viewers for longer periods of time, therfore increasing you ratings with dignity and truthfulness. All these male commentators that continue to try to discredit Senator Clinton mainly due to them disagreeing with the former Bill Clinton years and the policies that it held. Well guess what...this is 2008 and time to move on and catch up to modern politics.
Until the media as a whole respects more women in higher-teir business positions such as Senator Clinton and genuinely accept the fact that she EARNED her place in the Senate, we will continue to see this mistreatment. Darn if she does and darn if she doesn't, male candidates challenge other male candidates and they are veiwed as tough on issues, Senator Clinton challenges male candidates, she is considered non womanly or too tough.
In my opinion, I feel the media should educate this group of people to update them on equality and fairness, not just for this election but for life in general.
Ann

We have watched Hillary for 35 years and during that time she got the rep of being cold. Do you really think that she can honestly become warm and fuzzy in one day. Not I . It hink that was all an act. If it was real than she has a problem, she can't take the heat when it gets rough. What will the terrorists and other international leaders do to her, cry if she gets in a tough spot. No she has to much experience for that, so that had to be faked.

Obama uses the theme of Change and now everyone is. John Edwards stressed that the issues he is talking about is Personal and Passionate. Now Hillary used that exact expression. Then Obama had his people chanting We Can, then Hillary comes out for her speech after winning and uses that same expression in one line in her speech. It seems that Hillary has to copy her opponents, she can not think up new sloggans for herself.

Obama will bring a new face to american goverment

Obama talks alot about change, but change is not always good. If you have a business who would you hire a person with experience or somebody with no experience who is a great talker. The great talker is probably going to spent most of his time talking instead of doing something.

This is still a very prejudiced country...what a shame . we will never become the place we could be...GO OBAMA. i am sick of this experience nonesense. Who was President prior to becoming President. It is simply a code word for black..you racists

It rather bother me that we're even talking about the Clintons, Bill sold most of our manufactoring jobs to China enacted NAFTA, that is enough to send the middle class reeling, so when you look at the homeless and our increased provety, please think of those 35 years of expereince that belong to Bill not Hillary. Hillary was only elected 7 years ago. So to all lets not fall for the 1 for 2 plan.

I am a 66 year old african-americanwoman who was excited at the prospect of having a woman as the president of our country. I would still love to have this dream come true but no longer feel that Hillary Clinton is the person to fulfill it. I voted for Bill Clinton both times he ran, and I cannot overstate how disappointed I am by his recent actions. I not only voted for him, but vociferously defended him at work whenever he was under attack by my co-workers. I felt that the Clintons were the victims of negative, nebulous, unsupported attacks. Imagine my dismay to find that they are using those same tactics against their competition.

To distort, discredit and outright lie is not the road I will follow you down Hillary. You just lost this vote from New York. I don't know whether my vote will go to Edwards or Obama; but I am sure that you won't be getting it. I am sick and tired of the same old tired negativity just to WIN. I want to see a President who is not only about change and issues (not much difference on candidites stand on issues of importance to me) but about UNITY.

To any other women who have the same dreams I had, remember this – The Clintons are devisive. No matter what experience you have, how much can you really accomplish by being devisive? It was a hard lesson for me, but like "a raisin in the sun' my dream of a female president will have to be deferred.

Thumbs down to you Sherry, Lisa, and Carrie.

Is it just me or does anyone else see Charlie Chaplin when ever they do a close up of John McCain?

Barack Obama will win Nevada and South Carolina and then take the momentum to victory Febuary 5th...Go Obama '08

Wolf Blitzer hasn't proclaimed it but I believe he is bias to Hillary Clinton it surly showed at the Nevada Debate and other interviews....

Wolf – If Hilary wins the nomination, the democrats will lose the general elections. This is very sad. The kind of negative and false campaign the Clintons embarked is absoltely inexcusable. They are indeed using the same playbook they have critized all through their career. They are ready to stake the unity and chances of the democratic party to get a short at the white house. Can you imagine Bill lying that Obama flip flopped on Iraq and all the untrue mailers and e-mail that Obama is anti-choice. Come on Bill, you just lost your respect and statemanship within the party. Obama has shown unusual restraint for a politician – indicating that he is really interested in moving away from "status-quo" politics. He wants to heal our country. We have never been short of ideas, we 've just been too polarized as a nation to get anything done.

If Clinton wins, she will lose the general and the party will go into a coma for at least a decade. Hopefully Chelsea will come to the rescue.

I promise you that the Republicans are hoping and praying for a Obama nomination. So they can nail him to the wall on his drug abuse, and Muslim roots. Hillary is the one candidate that can bring some change. Bill continually said he consulted her during his Presidency, and look what he got accomplished. Helped bring peace to Northern Ireland after centuries of turmoil. Help stop geneocide in Bosnia with the loss of only 1 American. Helped first time home purchasers buy a home. Passed tax credits for higher education making it easiler for more people to obtain a College Education. Balanced the budget after Reagan and Bush ran it into the hundreds of Billions. Don't gamble on Obama when you have a proven team.

No matter what y'all want to think, this election will come down to race. The bottom line is that the south doesn't have enough African Americans to pull in off for Obama in a general election. If y'all vote him as our nominee, the Republicans will win in November. I'm voting for Edwards being from his home state, but I would gladly take Clinton. She's becoming much more of a person that alot of my colleagues are beginning to respect down here.

I'm not trying to make it a race thing, but the fact of the matter is that the south doesn't have the same demographics and values as shown throughout the rest of the country and WILL NOT vote for Obama. He has no experience and no one knows where he stands on issues besides cheering and saying "change" over and over again.... all of the young vote can vote for him all they want. Pick Edwards or Clinton and you got a winner.. Obama will lose, and lose bad down here if nominated in the general election.

I am a 66 year old african-american woman who was excited about having a woman as president of our country. I am still excited by the prospect .... but no longer wish Hillary to be that person. I have been a fan of Bill Clinton for years, but his actions of late have truely made me regret that support. I have tried to rationalize the negative items that are being dropped into this campaign by the Clintons but enough is enough.

Bill, to give a speech that strongly implies that Barrack changed his stance on the war was just wrong!! Iooked up the history on this and you just lied on the man.

Sending emails to potential voters that lie about the opposition candidate is also wrong.

That whole 'drug' thing put out by your campaign is the kind of negative politics I'm sick of. I note that the folks who did it are still working for you, so how much does your apology really mean?

I cannot overstate how disappointed I am that a man I deeply admired and a woman I was willing to support have resorted to the same old negatives that I sympathized with them over when they were under attack.

Please Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, don't continue down this road ... It's the same old road we've been taken down before. Make me believe in you again.

Barack Obama is a snake oil salesman...a great speaker to the public...nothing more nothing less.

The candidates and media may think it is a brand new ballgame, but I do not believe either are in the right ball park.

The country is in a financial mess and even ever optimistic Wall Street and trading firms are finally seeing the how bad things are.

We are in an unnafordable war with no end in sight and no progress. Throwing 30,000 troops to calm things down and arming one sect is a very short term win.

The price of gasoline is killing the economy. Nobody wants to admit it. Anyone who keeps saying we can absorb it is not living in reality.

The credit crises, well, we made our bed and now a lot of people can't afford to sleep in it.

More jobs outsource every year (I am personnally so sick of not understanding an India call center agent).

More imports happen every year.

Immigration – we can't live with them and we can't live without them. So make them ligit tax paying residents.

I believe the most underreported news is how many times the feds have had to inject cash in the banking system to keep them afloat. The banks do not even have enough money to exchange between themselves. The frequency this is occuring is very scary.

As a country, we are financially broke and cannot afford to continue business.

The next president is going to inherit a major financial crises.

Unfortunately, not a single candidate is in that ballpark...........yet.

More and more New Hampshire voters are saying that the overblown Obama media hype that coronated Sen Obama as the next President drove determined NH voters out in force to send a message to the national media and particularly the misinformed cable news punditry that voters have the final say in real elections, not head counts held in middle school classrooms in Des Moines.

Roland Martin is the biggest offender with is new "alliance" with Sen Obama. It is a well-established fact that President Clinton has a surplus of political capital with African American voters in South Carolina, yet Martin continued the drumbeat of Obama's "hope" hype. South Carolina won't be close. Hillary will quiet the media pundits again...and again...until she is sworn in next Jan as the 44th President of the United States.

I agree with salidah! This is for President and we DESPERATELY need someone with BIG experience to help our country economically, strategically and socially. PLEASE people...........don't vote for the homesy, slick willy personalities!! We need a STRONG leader with PROVEN experience.

I project that Hillary Clinton can never become president of the United States, she may only win a few states.

1. She boasts of experience but plants questions so that she gives calculated answers
2. She insulted the people of Iowa when she lost miserably in that State
3. She cries for votes when she's not getting them
4. 50% or more of the country already hates her to start with, could get worse with time
5. She has a promiscuous husband who is also notorious at lying and twisting information

Wait, is she going to sit on round table with Al Queada and leaders of the Middle East and say if you don't become friends of America I'll cry right now?

That's really going to work! Continue to follow her.
Let her just enjoy these few moments which will encourage her to spend more wasteful money on her bogus campaign. In the end she'll be crying even harder.

Some people are so easily influenced. I am hoping (no make that praying) that the American people: men, women, children of voting age, democrates republicans, independents will really look at the candidates, see what they have done in their live in the public eye and in their political careers and vote intelligently. I know they will. I have that much trust in them after making disastrous mistakes twice in 2000 and 2004. They will no longer be fooled. Hope and change are coming, we have to help make it happen. Look beyond the spotlights, glitz and fanfare. American idol starts soon but this process is for the President of the United States.

This morning I read the blog that Lou Dobbs wrote and Brian Williams NBC regarding how wrong were all the pundits and for once I applauded them for owning up to it, they also pointed out that the saddest part is that they will go back to the same thing by next week.

Well it didn't take a week it seems that for Wolf's pundits it only took one day. Why do they have to do this? I believe that We the american people are well educated and can take care of whom we choose to be our next President without having to be brainwashed by this analysts.

Bravo for us the american people who showed them that we can make our own minds without anyonelses help.

Totally hilarious how brilliant the media thinks Huckabee's campaign was in Iowa. Yeah, right. He basically said: "Hey, my name is Mike. I'm a Baptist preacher. Vote for me because I'm close to God." And the darn evangelicals listened to him. All Iowa showed is that people can and do base their votes on the candidate's religion. Yeah media, you sure got that one right.

Well said, Sherry and Lisa!

As a Republican, I am very frustrated with all of the media "love affairs" with some "darlings"! On the Republican side, it is McCain and Huckabee! Why is the media not holding Huckabee's mouth and actions to accountability???? Romney gets beat up constantly for negativity (ads) and "flipflopping" and one would think McCain and Huckabee were angels!! Huckabee is making personal attacks on Romney all of the time.....in a SLICK WILLY WAY.....and gets away with it because he's a smooth talking preacher! Beware of sheep's clothing! They are smooth talking their stands and records just to get votes. Both are talking religion to get votes as well. I just heard McCain talking about Judeo-Christian people not getting left behind. (That is after he had his mother on a talk show with him several weeks ago saying hateful things about Mitt's religion! PLEASEEEEEE! Make you mom say the hateful, bigoted remarks! SAME with Huckabee-such hateful, Christian behavior wrapped in a slick willy pkg!)

Thanks for having Pat Buchannan's sister on tonight and giving some decent air time to Romney! I guess McCain's and Huckabee's CRYING negative about the ads and then personally attacking him in such cheap ways in the recent debates lost any respect for either of them from me!!

The" heir apparent " is back in her kingdom,,, all is right in the world with Wolf again,,,,,, theres only like 40 somthing more caucus/primaries to go ? do you have any journelistic ethics wolf ?

I was struck by a blatantly ableist editorial bias revealed in a reference to John McCain during last night’s coverage of the New Hampshire primary. One of the political reporters, John King I think, when gushing about McCain’s victory, with all the predictable references to resiliency, personal strength, etc., concluded his assessment with an oblique reference to McCain’s torture injuries with the statement that he (McCain) “…can’t even comb his hair!”
The “narrative” as you guys call it, is not about McCain’s accomplishments in spite of his disabilities. The narrative is that most people have such low expectations of those of us with disabilities and that these low expectations become accepted without question and influence our assessment of accomplishment by the disabled.
Consider that it would be totally inappropriate and totally unacceptable to make remarks based on stereotypic, unchallenged, pejorative assumptions about Senator Clinton’s gender or Senator Obama’s race.

I just "hope" that at some point somebody actually asks Barack a question and I "hope" he answers it cause once he stops giving speeches, he would have to actually sit down at a desk and do the real work of governing. I hope people get wise to his slick act before the next round of voting cause the thought of him dealing with anything scares me to death. We're not electing class president.

Does anyone really care what WOLF BLITZER has to say on things? Does anybody really think that he's at the cutting edge of political analysis?

Didn't think so.

Ann S. you need to take a chill pill.

Hillary Clinton did not cry so you should stop listening to all the fool hardy blow hards who keep repeating this falsehood. Why don't you sit down and take a look at the clip yourself. After campaigning long and hard for a state and subsequently losing it, she was taken off guard by a point blank question about her defeat and her braveness of continueing her fight in an upbeat manner. I as a humanbeing I can understand that anyone could have an emotional pause but she quickly recovered and was very elliquent and impressive when answering the question. All that venom inside of you must be coming from somewhere but it not healthy or meritted

Wolf, now that you and your astute panelists from yesterday are wearing the egg on your faces and eating the crow about your early demise predictions for Hillary Clinton, please don't wimp out further by trying to blame your error on: Race, Gender Bias, Voters lying to pollsters, and Hillary's tearing up. Just fess up and move on. Toobin was the only panelist from yesterday that made sense. He said don't count Clinton out.

I am Canadian so maybe I should not be making comments on the U.S. election.If it offends people,forgive me.I am a fan of Obama.He is a great speaker,a black John Kennedy in my eyes.He appears to be truthfull which in its self is different.I read one of his books dealing with his childhood and early career and found it facinating.
Mrs Clinton appears to be someone from the past who happens to be a past presidents wife.Obama has excited not only the U.S. but the world.Here is a guy who is different from the rest, a nice change.I will follow the election with excitement.

I hope that Wolf is not suggesting that all Black or Hispanic people are non-thinking and shallow and will vote for a candidate to run for the position of the president or the United States because of the colour of their skin or their ethnic background and not the candidate's own merits, experiences, competences, and worthiness because I find that to be very condensending and demeaning to a whole lot of people who take their right to vote for the candidate of their choice very seriously.
P.S.There were no tears from Hillary's eyes just a small crack in her voice Lou Dobbs, and the voters voted the way they did because that's the way they wanted to do. Some one should wipe that smirk off of that guys face, and predictions are only that, stick to the real news. Don't you guys ever
learn from your own mistakes

Romney has more delegates and deserves more respect he is a strong christian leader who has strong values and futhermore people should not let his being Mormon dictate voting for him.The Church of Jesus Christ (Mormons) does not get involved with politics.He would not force religion on anyone as much as Huckabee would.He has strong business background. I think a lot of others share my point of view and should let their voices be heard and ignore the polls who only track small portion of vote.

Hi, Wolf, Congrats. You did your part to pull off the surprise HIllary win. She teared up, but you flooded the airwaves with her non-tears. (Care to report to us the different minutes you devoted to each front runner in the two days leading up to the NH primary?)

Gosh Wolf! Two states down and you think everything should have been settled by now? Sounds very similar to the networks announcing that Al Gore won Florida with less than 2% of the vote counted. C'mon Wolf – there's 48 more states to go and most have more votes than Iowa and New Hapshire combined.

Yeah this is great. Whoopie. Black out candidates your masters don't like. Put out false information. Twist words of others. Jerry Springer 24/7. Great Job.

I can't wait to see a comeback for Romney and hear his 1 hour totally unprepared victory speech.

Why do you bother to get the public pumped up for this?

As a woman, I am appalled that women would vote for her and consider it being a feminist. Hillary is playing this game on two levels – saying that she is the most tested and experienced – yet it is obvious that she cannot take what she dishes out.

Hillary has been much more cruel in her attacks against others, but expect the male candidates to be gentlemen towards her. She is NOT being criticized any more than any other candidate! Gimme a break!

If Hillary wants to be President she needs to know that criticism is constant. I don't like Bush – but I can honestly say that he is criticized on a daily basis – sometimes even undeservingly. What is Hillary going to do if Castro insults her, or Hugo Chavez? Is Bill going have to defend her? That totally weakens her position.

Did Castro tell Jeb Bush that he was chubby and could benefit from some exercise because he is a man? (Oh, but if someone said something about Hillary – people would totally make it out it is due to her being female). When Chavez joked about Bush having left the smell of sulfur at the podium – was that because he is male? What would Hillary do if she got criticized the same way?

Seriously, people say that Huckabee looks like Gomer Pyle, and Romney looks like Herman Munster. People attack all of the candidates.

Why is it that when Hillary is criticized it is just because she is a woman? I say the woman needs to grow up, instead of acting like a school girl. If she wants to be the President then she needs to present herself in a way that proves that she can handle it. Because the world is not going to treat her with kid gloves.

Wolf Blitzer doesn't know anything, get a job with FOX Blitzer or SHUTUP!

Wolf,

I love your new blog! I must say it is about time!

I adore you, but I couldn’t help but cringe at your opening statement pointing out the various ethnic and racial makeup of each community in the upcoming primaries. I don't believe you are taking sides, but I have often wondered why statements about Hispanics voting for Hispanics or Blacks voting for Blacks are condoned. Why are these groups not criticized for voting for candidates based on race alone? Can you imagine the uproar if whites admitted they voted based on race? I am sure many of them do, but unlike Blacks or Hispanics, they are criticized if they admit to it. If candidates are just now adjusting their strategies to accommodate these specific groups it is less than honest. I can understand people wanting to vote for their "own kind," but not at the sacrifice of experience and qualifications.

I hope when the other candidates get around to taking advantage of the ”free media” of the TSR you will grill them all equally, regardless of gender or race.

I could tell you were “pumped up” last night! You were acting like the Energizer Bunny on steroids!

Good luck with the blog; I will visit often!

I understand that New Hampshire loves the Clintons. Are we aware that
Bill Clinton is not a candiate. I think this should be the greater concern for the voting public .

Hillary's emotional moment was a dissapointment! Is this what we are to expect from a female president? WEAKNESS!! When there is a crisis, is she going to curl up in a corner and cry? or step up, and be our Commander in Chief. And to make matters worse, is Bill always going to come to the rescue? Who's really going to run the White House? I don't see Michelle running to defend Barak, or Cindy defending John. GIVE ME A BREAK!! also, I haven't heard anyone mention yet, her involvement with White Water.

I don't know whether the tearing up of Hilary Clinton changed the outcome or not, but I think when CNN's show last Sunday spent several hours letting us watch all the candidates campaigning in different districts is what could have turned it around. People were able to watch and listen instead of just reading about or seeing them for only a minute or two. I really appreciated CNN doing this and hope that you will continue doing so. It will be a tremendous help to me and other voters when we vote.

Great question Jr. I hope we get an answer other than "go to her website."

Skyler,

I'd love to hear it the examples too, seriously. As a Californian, I'll be voting in 3 weeks and want to be fully informed.

First, anyone who's ever done any interviewing knows that people will pick the very best examples from their resume to prove their points about what they've accomplished.

So, in Saturday night's debate, during Senator Clinton's response to Senator Edwards when she was making her claim of "I HAVE 35 YEARS of CREATING CHANGE," I was on the edge of my seat because I was hoping I would finally hear the specifics.

HER CHOICE for the change she created during her White House years? Healthcare. That was HER choice. As most Americans remember it, that was not only a policy failure but a political debacle, creating even more divisiveness in a city already splintered by it.

By the way, I think the media should continue to question Barack. However, that street runs both ways. And to hear the Clintons' whining about unfair treatment last weekend just made me scratch my head. Yes, they're beat up by "the right wing." But the media was practically handing her the Presidency the first 10 months of 2007.

You Got That Right Wolf!!!

The energy in this election season is unlike any other ! It's hard for me to understand people when they complain about How this is going on way to long ! I guess i just enjoy it because i'm a political junkie!

I think this next month will fly by , and honestly ill be sad to see it go BUT we still have a whole year left !!!

My next comment is I would liike to see McCain and Lieberman as President and Vice President of the U.S.

Joan writes:

............ am sure if it is Hillary, Micheal Bloomberg will lauch his party for the bid. I can not wait if this happens. If not then I have so much room in my heart for Obama as my next president!!............

Micheal Bloomberg is a fundamental cowboy capitalist straight from the richest republican playbook you can imagine. Do you guys honestly think he is some kind of bleeding heart liberal?

What is WRONG with you people. Cant you see right thru this one? Just like Ross Perrot . He ran as an independant against Clinton back in the 90s to split the independant vote that would have voted for Clinton.

Bloomberg doesnt NEED to run against Obama. You think Obama can get away with his YAY I CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING schtick against the Republican party?

The democratic party is 99% in agreement on every issue. Obama doesnt have to defend his record nor his experience against candidates whom are already on his side as a democrat.

Bloomberg will run if Hillary is nominated SO SHE WONT WIN AND THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WILL.

No wonder people in the world call americans IDIOTS.

This is exactly what Mr.Obama is speaking.Were at a crisis America.The Clintons started this mess.I really believe obama will at least try to clean up this mess the country is in,that will also take another 8 years to fix.Wake my fellow americans,were in last place in everything from basketball to education.Those good ol days are over and the new generation is the only way out.Think about it we all have children or plan on having children,Unless you want hillary to send them to war too.

The next President of the United States will not only affect the American People but the rest of the world . I just pray that the American people vote with their hearts and minds intelligently.
You are not electing a rock star , nor the most gifted orator . You must elect a president who can do the job . Pretty talks are cheap and dreams are expensive .
Your country is at war and your economy is going down . Wake up America .You might hate a candidate for a particular personal reason , but Vote Intelligentlly
Twice you have voted a charismatic Bush , unfortunately you got what you elected .There is another Bush lurking out there .
If you own a huge multi-national corporation , would you elect an apprentice to be the CEO ?
Or, did Oprah made you do it ?

I only think it will be a two horse race, Obama and Clinton. I think edwards will have to concede after he looses his home state of South Carolina. Then the big questions will be who are the other candidates going to throw their support behind? I would say the reason Hillary won last night has to do with the fact that colleges were not in session, thus not much of turnout for Obama. yes, college wasn't in session in Iowa, but the Rock the Vote pushed harder in Iowa. Wait until the next big election night, with colleges in full swing. Had Hillary won by a larger margin I would say things look better for her, but it was only 3%. I give congrats to the Clinton campaign!, but I think America is ready for a CHANGE! On the begins with Obama.

Just proves that ALL POLLS ARE IMMORAL and inacurate. People need to stop voting the way the TV pundits and pollsters tell you vote and start voting with your minds. WE THE PEOPLE of the USA need to reject big media and the corporate facsism that is taking aware our liberties, freedoms, and our way of life. Let the r3VOLution begin.

talk about stating the obvious, wolf

It seems to me that news media goes a long way in shaping elections and public affairs. You will say anything regardless of the cost.
Wolf has mentioned dozens of times that S. Carolina is 50% black and 50% white. It's become a mantra. Eventually he will make this election a black and white affair. We hear you Wolf. Enough already.

HELLO AMERICANS,
IT'S A WASTE OF ENERGY OF BASHING ONE CANDIDATE OR ANOTHER, SPEND YOUR ENERGY ON LEARNING ABOUT THE CANDIDATES. NEWHAMSHIRE TAUGH US A GOOD LESSON: NO POLLS, NO PREDICTIONS.
WE NEED A GOOD LEADER TO GET US OUT OF CRISIS. DO YOU HOMEWORK AND VOTE WITH CONSCIENCE.

I am impressed with Hillary's win last night. More power to her!

cnn are u happy now especially wolf but i no we can. iam an republican and feel so bad for poor obama with ur one way sided reporting on clinton about people feel bad about her but i know we can

It's not a ball game, Wolf. It's, literally, a matter of life and death seriousness. Quit treating this like a horse race and start dissecting the substance of the candidates. As the independent voter in the prior post suggests, you could do a much better job actually examining the "experience" that Hillary apparently has in spades over her opponent - a dubious claim, to be sure. Likewise, help us understand how Obama's alleged "freshness" to politics could be an asset to the presidency. What do his and her experiences tell us about how they would address global warming, UN reform, Iraq, the healthcare crisis, etc. Of course, by the time you've reached this sentence in my post (assuming you read them at all), I'm sure there'll be a new poll released or some nonsensical statement from one of the candidates to divert you and the rest of us from what's really on the line and what matters. Quick, turn to the wall of TVs with the ridiculous typefaces and graphics for an update before we start thinking too hard about stuff that matters!!! Your show is a joke.

Yeah, the pundits think they know everything with their numbers and their small circle of media-savvy talking heads. Thank God for the real people, the ones who actually vote and make reality actually happen.

Hey Writers !!! Stay on strike !– I have more fun reading this stuff !! Got a bag of Popcorn and and a Coke - Man – We got some Loonies posting here!! HAR!!

Go Mac and pick Liberman as VP and you'll win in a Landslide!!

Hey, After the Black caucus, what date are we having the white caucus? Hillary has the most experience, having been in the "ball game". What does Obama have other than Ophra(is that how you spell that)....she may have hurt herself!!! One needs to run on their own, not bring the elite, thinking that because people (not me) watch the Ophra (spelling?) show, will vote for Obama. I say, Go Hillary, it's time the woman took a stand after all, were it not for her the "man" wouldn't be here. Let the men have the golf courses, ball games, and whatever else they do and Hillary, along with her supporters will take care of the United States of America, because we have the "guts" along with compassion, and yes "emotions" to get the job(s) done. Bush can go back to his expensive ranch and ride his horses. Maybe he will invite the other "men" to go camping with him!!!! There are bears and tigers out there...........Watch out for the words spoken, sometimes we have to eat them!!!!!!

Its great. The frustration of the media with TWO states having voted, gosh they can't pick a clear winner yet. This makes me so mad because it implies that the votes of the other 95% of this country who haven't voted yet just doesn't matter. Maybe the media could just let Americans pick a president without all the commentary on polls being so wrong, and "surprise" upsets. The fact of the matter is that polls are inaccurate, so don't use them as your only reporting tool.

Wolf I was just wondering why it was so historical for a black man to win in Iowa and when the first women ever wins a state wide primary for president it is not Historical? I believe I see the Bias in the media .Please do not diminish What Hillary clinton has done here!

Wolf - Who are the likely VP running mates for Clinton, Obama & Edwards? I have a difficult time seeing any of these candidates joining forces. Are there some Dems outside of the current Presedential pool on the short list for any/all of the leaders?

Wolf, with all due respect, you and your team of "political analysts" in the "situation room" need to attend some Continuing Education classes on journalism. Back when I was a journalism student in the 80's, I learned that the goal is to investigate and report the news in an objective and neutral manner. Your pre-New Hampshire coverage was so slanted towards Obama that you could see the disappointment on CNN faces when Obama lost. The one exception to this was Lou Dobbs, who was asking his panel yesterday before the results came in whether everyone was jumping the gun. Good job, Lou.

STATUS QUO MUST GO!
Bill is a SHILL for Hil!

The overly ambitious and SELF-ABSORBED Clintons were unable to connect with Americans (and rightly so) in the furtherance of their PERSONAL Clintonian AMBITIONS!

And so they attack Barack's person and campaign UNPROVOKED!

Failing to TRICK AMERICANS to support their SELF-DESTRUCTIVE DYNASTY, the Clintons sought to APPEAL TO THE LOWEST IN USA.

Unfortunately, some Americans do not want CHANGE; through spite, the Clintons are willing to fuel divisiveness, STAGNATION and recession!

STATUS QUO MUST GO!

"I'm Mexican and I WILL be voting for Obama! I'm educated too. Go figure!" Jilly

I didn't know Mexicans could vote in US elections. I thought only Americans could. Yeah. Go figure is right....

If Obama emerges the leader, Gore will be the third party candidate.

Wolf,
You've done enough cheerleading for Senator Clinton at this point. Could you please start questioning what SHE has accomplished? We hear "experience" ad naseum yet other than a few minor legislative accomplishments, I've yet to hear any "meat on the bones."

Well I was very disappointed last night..... When I left work I told everyone that there was a political primary going on so I'd be spending the evening under a blanket with Wolf Blitzer.

But as soon as I got home (West Coast) Hillary was in the lead and the AP had projected her as the winner. Click – not tonight, Wolf.

I don't go for the conspiracy theories that Hillary is rigging the election, but who is voting for her? She gets so much hate mail on this blog and I do not know one person that would even consider voting for her.

I feel personally insulted when commentators say that women will vote for her because she is a woman, or because we will feel sorry for her when she starts crying again. I thought when she was yelling at Edwards during a debate one day, then slouching over a table crying the next day – she looked like she's crazy. If I felt any sympathy for anyone it was Bill.

Wolf, – I am available for the next series of primaries but I hope you'll have better news for me.

The bottom line is this, our country has been in trouble for years. Osama bin laden is still missing. Or is he? How do we know for sure that this man is not dead. When I see the faces and names of some of these people, who knows who from whom. America needs to keep it real and get the hell out of the Mideast and take care of its homeless people here in America. No candidates ever talk about that. They give a much more broad spectrum of the issue. While people like myself who make under 35, 000 a year struggle to keep the rent and utilities paid. God forbid the car breaks down. But we are worried about who will be the next president, if they can't focus on us (50,000 and under) then we sure as hell don't care who wins, we just start looking for a second job, so that we can pay more taxes to the american government.

Yeah, let's keep it real!

Obama professes change, but how? Where is his message other than Sunday school preaching? He is a great speaker, the best of the bunch but translate that into track record and experience and we're left with fluff and pageantry. Clinton has a plan and whether you like her or not the vote should be on the resume to which Obama's is quite short.

-Skyler

Oh I found one. Hey Skyler maybe you can tell me (and the world) what 35 years of experience Hillary has. Also, what is Hillary's "plan" that you speak of in your 4th. sentence? Please answer (I'm watching you).

You know I look at this race – somewhat like a game of chess. I see Obama as the rookie and Clinton as the queen. Simple. Clinton 08

God thank you NH for showing the media, the commentators and any others that we are not so easily fooled. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We stand proud today as being part of the democratic party. Clinton 08

Clinton has a plan? Like voting for the Iraq war...that's great to hear

im glad lobbyists have funded her entire campaign

she would never bring change to Washington

Free Media. Yeah right. Who's paying your bills. Corporate interests? It wouldn't have been much of a horse race if either Republican or Democratic front runners beat their opponents agian. You guys wouldn't be getting all the attention even with the writers strike. We the American public would tune you out. So I guess we can say the media is the winner, correct?

Can you talk about the major voter fraud in New Hampshire...it's buzzing around the internet like wildfire, but I haven't heard you talk about it.

Rob, Washington, DC January 9, 2008 4:28 pm ET

Sal stop being a paranoid conspiracy theorist. People need to give it up already. Every time I read the ticker somebody picks out one particular story about one candidate and declares that CNN is biased or ruled by corporate interests. As far as I can tell the network runs stories on everybody. Next thing you're going to do is tell us about shadow governments and 9/11 conspiracies right?

I WONDER HOW ROB KNOWS SO MUCH !

Obama professes change, but how? Where is his message other than Sunday school preaching?

Obama please stop lip singing Edwards!

Will someone please tell Obama to stop copying what Edwards is saying, it really is
pathetic.

Amature political rookie Obama continues his crusade to lose the white house to the Neo cons.

Vote to win our dear America back vote Hillary or Edwards.

If you subtract the misleading poll numbers we got from you guys and then you retracted all the speculation put out by the media, I think we have the same game! I trust you Wolf, as well as Candy, Anderson, and probably most of the people who work there ( not Glen, Jack, or Lou) but why are you participating in spinning the news? What will Obama do for higher education? How will this Clinton clean up the republican debt? I call upon Michael Moore and ask he prompt you to report news not line up to dispense a heaping helping helping of memorized mistakes.

After New Hampshire, "the best political team on television", should be dining on "humble pie" until at least Super Tuesday. What a disaster!

Why is it so hard for the pundits to believe that women are very capable of voting the way that they feel is right, without having to inform everyone what they are going to do before they go into the voting booth? The way the media make it sound you would think that Hillary had a major breakdown instead of a catch in her voice. I have watched the replay a dozen times and did not see the tears run down her face or wipe her nose on her sleeve or even ask for a kleenex. Enough already

Yeah they edited my comment about playing the race card, I didn't think it was out of line with the material that is on here today.

The meat of the comment was that women out-populate men in our country and that that there are a lot of women in that percentage of 'black people', so I believe it is a toss up in South Carolina.

I wonder how many stupid polls CNN will report on in the coming weeks? Has CNN finally realized that pre-voting polls are meaningless and misleading. There were probably a number of Obama supporters that decided simply not to vote, or vote for Hillary because Polls indicated he would win in a landslide. People either felt comfortable that Obama would win regardless, or some women wanted to show a bit of support for Clinton due to her crying episode.

Lesson learned: Don't trust the media or the polls. Just get out and vote for your candidate.

People, people, people, isn't it time that we have someone new in the White House? When I think of Obama, I think of a fresh breath of air...the Clintons are stale news!

yep, a new ballgame. the corporations and elites had to manufacture a win and get control of this election back. too obvious.

Hillary cries her way to edging out Barack in New Hampshire... I wonder what her campaign is thinking: "It worked! Hillary needs to cry more! That's how we'll win all the women-folk! Hillary, cry!! "
As a woman, I am insulted. I'm a Democrat and I will never vote for Hillary
Clinton. If she becomes the nominee, I'm definitely voting for John McCain or a third party candidate. I absolutely despise the idea of her being president!

I'm Mexican and I WILL be voting for Obama! I'm educated too. Go figure!

Elections in IA and NH still show that men are overwhelmingly supporting Obama than Hillary. US is still a male dominated society and backwards in their attitude from many of the developing countries like Argentina, India, Israel, UK, Germany etc. who have chosen women presidents. Women in this country should prove this wrong by electing Hillary. Not because she is a woman, but a competant, experienced, and well qualified candidate. This is the only chance.

I heard your reference to comment by Edwards re: Clinton crying and I had seen the question put to him by the reporter yesterday. I know what he said . You spun his comment. He was sympathetic to the pressure on the candidates and he ,obviously, was dismissive of such a question. There was no criticism of Clinton.

You and Cafferty need to correct this. This is not quality reporting. You had opportunity to ask Edwards in your interview today and did not.

Shame on you.

Hi Wolfe,

This 'new ball game" consists of computer voting fraud ! I am tired of it .... its time to go back to old fashion hand count.... there is nothing wrong with it ,especially if the media has all their cameras aiming straight at the hand count ... that way there is no fraud.

But with the silly computers ,who is really keeping an eye on it? Wolfe you tell me ?

If you want change it starts with the VOTING SYSTEM we have and its not working !
there is were the real change needs to be in this new brand "new ball game" !

I'm really perturbed.

It seems John Edwards populist agenda has been hijacked by Obama, Clinton, and Huckabee.

As soon as a recent poll came out saying Edwards was the most likely to beat the GOP–man all of the candidates who previously were firing on empty–suddenly became "attached" to the electorate–and agents of change.

Edwards has been focused–and unwavering for 8 years on his desire to see some changes in Washington.

How could late comers–and special interest flakes like Obama and Clinton be in the lead? It sure doesn't say much for the Iowa, and especially the NH voters.

wow, this is over!
Hillary wins!

Karen, NYC
can not say it better!

Isn't anyone going to investigate how these votes were counted? Does anyone wonder who counted them? What voting machine was used? It was diebold and it just so happens anywhere that diebold was, both hillary and mccain did well. It's really a shame that the real news doesn't investiage these things.

In fact the media hasn't even investigated why so many pollsters were wrong. I've also read that people are calling in and finding the candidate they voted for recieved zero votes, even though the person calling had voted for that same person.

Yup, there is a huge fraud going oin in the primary process, I wonder if any of the news outlets will break this story, it could change history, oh well, lets just put up some pictures of britney spears, cause we're a bunch of tools with no lives... the media is obsessed with this retarded girl who can't sing instead of the our soldiers getting slain in Iraq.

Priorities CNN. PRIORITIES. It's funny though, CNN is on track to destroy itself if it continues to support and ignore what Bush does. If Bush has his way and all his people get his way, Fox news will be the only news house on the planet. You should look over at MSNBC... they actually *gasp* question things! Without a bias either! Can you believe it!!

It will not be a new day until Blitzer leaves his strong Israeli ties behind and attempts to be more fair in his coverage.

The respectable Obama is a good man but this is'nt American Idol.

Amature political rookie Obama continues his political russian rolette with the American people.

We all know to win back our dear white house and remove the neo cons we need a
heavy hitter like Hillary or Edwards.

Score one for the Clintons, great work!!! The gender card worked in NH however we should be careful not to play that song too much because the rest of American saw a few things:

1. Saw and heard the entire statement including the campaign kickbacks
2. How the Clintons threw Chelsea into that little girl outfit to make her look like a teeny bobber to woo the younger voters wearing tight jeans and pulling her hair back into a little 12 years old ponytail
3. How she will use the term 'I listened to you' after all these years... 35 years of experience and NOW she decides to listen.. in NH... after the tears....? OKAY... right...

Hillary is a calculating woman and any woman falling for this should be careful not to help Hillary destroy the meaning of Womanhood. Womanhood is not defined by Hillary's actions and YES we should have a woman President... but just not this woman called Hillary Clinton.

Amature political rookie Obama continues his up hill battle for the nomination, as the most unexperienced canadate in U.S. history.

We all know it will take a heavy weight like Hillary or Edwards to win back our dear
America.

Vote to win the white house Vote Hillary or Edwards.

It’s clear to me that New Hampshire women will not follow Opraha’s every command as it is apparent Iowa women will. Maybe it’s the difference of being in the middle of the country versus being a bit more cosmopolitan on the East coast, where people in general march to their own drum beat rather than follow a piped piper. Perhaps the polling discrepancy is because, maybe the phone calls were made when the Opraha show was airing in those cities, but when these folks turn off the television they think for themselves. Congratulations people of New Hampshire you do think for yourselves and not what the television pundits or Opraha Winfrey tells you what to think! You have restored my confidence in this political process…for now.

Romney leads the Republicans. Go Romney

Dear Wolf...

How about you guys go back to reporting things AFTER they happen.

That would be NEWS. You remember that? The stuff you're supposed to tell us about without your own opinion attached to it?

Forecasting is for the WEATHER.

Lou Dobbs is the only one calling all you guys on your massive massive abdication of journalistic standards.

Stop looking for ways to be RIGHT, and stop acting like your opinion matters.

It doesn't. OURS DOES.

Terri in NYC

Next Billary will dance the mexican hat dance to impress Latinos...

Sal stop being a paranoid conspiracy theorist. People need to give it up already. Every time I read the ticker somebody picks out one particular story about one candidate and declares that CNN is biased or ruled by corporate interests. As far as I can tell the network runs stories on everybody. Next thing you're going to do is tell us about shadow governments and 9/11 conspiracies right?

Hey Wolf...most of us reading this, no matter what party or candidate we support...could care less about how "pumped up" the news media is.

The only liar we see is Obama. Lying to our youth. Misleading the gullible. Clinton won NH because the people in NH know what we need as a country. I take a bow to you. Thank you for stalling the Obama circus. He has made a joke of the democratic party.

bush,clinton,bush,clinton AGAIN! I don't think so !

Why are you playing the race card again?! If you want to throw in the black percentage throw in the Hispanic percentage too, Hispanics won't be voting for Barack no matter how hard he tries to pander to them in Cali.

This is not a brand new ball game, it's the same mess we started out with!

I don't get how the talking heads on the corporate media outlets can sit here and make predictions this early in the process. This is part of the problem, that all of the candidates feel like if they don't play in the corporate media's arena, they cannot ever hope to win. This is what is wrong with American politics. Whenever this amount of money is going to be spent, the potential for corruption and abuse is increased.

Hillary Clinton Makes History
All other candidates makes History too:

Mike huckabee being a minister and very low class in the race

Barack Obama African American

John Edward coming from poor family and self made millionaire

Bill Richardson Hispanic

I just don't think this favour with hillary should so much stretched. We are not even nearly through with this!

Thanks Wolf for clarifying that for us. We would have never known this wasn't over without you. This is it? This is the big issue you came up with? Anything else you want to spoon feed the people?

I am sure if it is Hillary, Micheal Bloomberg will lauch his party for the bid. I can not wait if this happens. If not then I have so much room in my heart for Obama as my next president!!

I usually try to like this guy(wolf Blitzer) but because of how he has been with this elections, I just think he is a liar just like Hillary. I don't have time for these kind of people!

I think its time to see how many people would agree, that CNN and the rest of the network news organizations are working for the corporate ellite and keeping information from the american people...Sounds alot like the Stasi if you ask me, i would be very careful about letting this go any further...Letting CNN and the rest ignore what happend in NH and letting this disinfranchisement of US THE AMERICAN PEOPLE go on it is a totally inexcusable action....Its time to see how many peopel would agree, see if a class action lawsuit is a viable option, see if we can prove this is a propaganda news station and force the FCC to take action and remove CNN and the likes from the airwaves for taking away our right to choose a canidate and put their own personal corporate interests at the forefront

I wonder if now we will have questions asking what can Obama do to bounce back to Number one. This country is so unequal and that is what Barack is advocating as foundamental change!

Wolf, can we now gather around roundtable and discuss how we can help Barack to win the next state coming?
