Come on Obama you rock.

You know, I kind of think that CNN really wants Hussein to win. I don't. His family is in Kenya…once he is nominated, the terrorist are going to figure this out and then what. What happens when they take his family and behead them???? Is he going to go all tits up and drop the ball? I would rather have a president that doesn't have family living in a situation that would put me at risk. I like me more than that!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just call me selfish, I will answer.

Obama and the other Dems didn't care about Michigan. Why the heck would anybody in this state ever consider voting for them?

Watching the election results I am so ticked at Barack, Fred and Rudy.

Props to Mitt, John, Ron, Mike and even Dennis for coming to Michigan!

haha nice win, Hillary. Tomorrow I should go into an elementary school classroom and celebrate my "Tallest Person" victory

I guess your race politics didn't work out to well for you hillary… Did it..

Character. I think what we have seen in the last 8 years is that character will drive decisions and bad character leads to bad decisions from bad motives and lack of integrity. I encourage the American public to really try to see through what the candidates are really saying and not just with their words and of course, who they surround themselves with.
"Who you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you say." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
May the best candidate win!

What about the American Indian voter?
Or the Chinese immigrant voter?
What about the white black or the yellow whites?

Division. We'll never unite as a people as long as we continue to subdivide ourselves.

Advice to Clinton, Keep to the truce.

Your uncle tom cronies will only hurt you. Despite the lie Rangel sputed, Obama never injected race as an issue. he has run a clean campaign. This is what is attracting black voters (and white if I'm not mistaken).

Myself, I'm a young independent. I was neutral but your venom after Iowa pushes me toward Obama, Robert Johnson and Charles Rangel hurt you tremendously in my eyes.

I don't speak for all black people. But this black voter was swayed for the following reason. Obama is about the people, all people. He's not running as a black candidate.

Obama also has the right to defend himself when attacked. He's saving it for the republicans, he has the big picture in mind. Elephants shall not return to Pennsylvania Avenue. He's making the whole campaign bigger than him, the reason he's getting mass support.

So Hillary, please save the venom for republicans.

we never worry about poll, since when we start worring bout it? Sometime i really wonder what your job is a major news network? to report the news or to stirr negative poletics? get over it ….the American people will make the decsion eventually right?

Hillary is a cheater

Go, South Carolina - you are not alone! Look out West, where Elected Democratic officials like McCaskill consider her "fatal" for the ticket. The down-ticket harm Hillary would do as a uniter of the GOP will be putting a stop to the steady progress red states have made towards the Democratic party. IF HRC would be the nominee, she might actually lose this, as her support in her own party has a definite ceiling, she has virtually NO cross-over appeal, and limited support for independents. IF she would be able to eke out a 50.1% win, and even if she "were ready to lead from day 1″, the other side will be "fired up and ready to go". Hillary for president, Obama for America! Please show the Clintons that the divisive politics should come to an end - she is hurting the party and the country, We are sick of all this, and deserve better. No more games…..

Black people did not reject Clinton because of race but because she was a divider , She was never a uniter.

Clinton have ruled for her safe boasting 35 years , I belive its high time she goes on retirement..

Its wrong and just another blunder to give a ticket to somebody who had misused it before..

If Clinton mistakenly win the nomination, she will fail the generstion because even her democrats will vote for the other party or chose not to vote at all.

Infact she is desperate.

America needs a strong hand like Obama. YES WE CAN;YES WE CAN; YES WE CAN

I found it interesting that the "uncommited voters" came close to overcoming the Hillary media machine. I think the intelligent folks will in the end pick Obama. He is alot more sincere about overhauling govt.

Smart people for Obama!

Thank goodness Hillary didn't lose to "uncommitted". Otherwise who knows how the media would have spun this so-called meaningless primary. IT IS MEANINGLESS. Those of you who say it isn't, please note that most would say Hillary won in a landslide, garnering nearly 60% of the vote.

So the other side of the equation one could say Obama and his cohorts ticked off a lot of whites by shamelessly and unwarrantedly playing the race card, which means that he and Edwards couldn't even garner 40% of the vote between them. But CNN chooses to highlight the race angle. Good. That only works against Obama.

This from an African-American. Keep fanning the flames of racial divisiveness CNN.

And on that "time to start a race war in the Democratic Party note, CNN: what was the percentage breakdown of the white vote?

So Hillary Clinton's name was the only name on the ballot, and voters were either forced to pick her, or choose "undecided"?

Isn't that what the Soviet Union used to do with its elections?

I had a good feeling this would happen. African American voters can see through all the tricks and games in this campaign - that Barack Obama is the true candidate who understands the problems Americans face and who has proposed the best solutions to those problems.

GO BARACK!
OBAMA 08!

Wow! that's not good. This is going to be an interesting 2 weeks. Bill can pull her through!

She shot herself in the foot by making those complicated racial comments. "Becareful what you wish for."

You guys will never stop talking trash about Hillary

Any one who doesn't believe that Obama is going to take the majority of the black vote hasn't been paying attention to race politics in the country.

once edwards leaves the campaign, Billary will be far, far behind.

The anti-Billary movement is far too large to overcome, much less the loss of support from the AfAm community.

OBAMA 08! Time for a fresh vision

Tom Isenberg, is this one of the spins you were told to keep tooting by Karl Rove? you are shameless. you will stop at nothing….

If that's so, many people can't think for themselves, regardless of what colour they are. The whole "race" thing was unnecessary, and told a lie on Hillary Clinton; if you're going to attack someone, at least have some truth to it.

Oh no.

She was the ONLY major democrat on the ballot and still 70% of Michigan's African Americans didn't vote for her.

Not good. A little blow back from playing racial politics?

The tides have turned. Damage done and no way to reverse it. Would be interesting to see how SC votes.

Why make this into a race war?? I will vote for either candidate because I believe in the Democratic Party. Its understandable that black people might want a black president. That would be an incredible sign of racial progress. But I will support either Clinton or Obama as the nominee. (Not Edwards–he's a communist)

The Democratic National Party will have a "change of heart" just before the National Convention and decide to count the Michigan and Florida primaries, if that means swaying the nomination towards Hillary.

The entire process has been fixed from the beginning. Howard Dean and the party hacks are all pro-Hillary, and hence she has most of the super-delegates.

And just by chance, she did not take her name off the Michigan and Florida primary ballots.

This is a very calculated move that will make the Al Gore 2000 Florida fiasco look amateurish by comparison.

Go Hillary '08 - best candidate money can buy!

I'm sorry, was Hillary ever projected to win the black vote over Obama? More important, why is CNN still fanning the flames of race, even though the candidates are moving on? This is a pathetic headline.

After years of working for civil rights, if black voters turn from Hillary Clinton, it will be because of racial-bias on their part … and nothing to do with her. She has worked very hard for all people and has never wavered on civil rights issues. I don't believe that black voters will do this by and large throughout the country.

Why does the media keep trying to make this a primary race about the color of the skin. Each one is as qualified as the other. They should be voted on for their character and integrity. Each voter should decide who can do more and make this a better country to live in for all the people. If Obama was to get elected or Clinton I would hope it would be because the reasons given and not becuse the color of their skin or the sex of the person.

But you seem to forget that in 1988 Jesse Jackson won the Michigan Democratic primary with 55% of the vote so African Americans have historically done well in that state. There was also a major push by Obama supporters to vote for uncommitted.

CNN please let this go….are you not aware that MEDIA can influence the masses…especially the ones that don't rely on their own thinking…..SHEESH!!

Barack Obama won tonight and Chis Matthews is way off. Hillary is not presidential sounding. She knows alot of stuff but she can't get it done. Barack can get results becasuse he can work the system in a diplomatic manner. America needs him.

This is what hillary wanted so that she can split the white voters to go for her and black to Obama to win because she knows some black will feel offended about their remarks. Good job Hillary and good luck to America if she wins. I am not a fool and will still vote for Obama period and hope the white vote will remain confident on Obama.

Hillary your plan will backfire because now Obama will win a landslide because the last thing we need as Americans in this election is a racial divide.

What % of whites and Latinos were voting for Clinton and Obama? why only report on AA? This is the kind of politics thats pundits are pushing, and the American people are rejecting, coming together, for a common purpose.

Why is it that the only ethnic grouping that these polls consistently assess is the ‘black’ vote?

Occasionally, the Hispanic vote is evaluated as well. However, I have never (ever) seen an evaluation of the ‘white vote’.

This kind of ethnic based assessment only serves to reinforce racism and stereotyping.

The ‘black vote’ is a very divisive and insulting terminology suggestive of a monolithic, monotonous group that can only act as a single entity, lacking of the ability to think and perform as individuals? This fallacious notion must be thoroughly and forcibly rejected.

Otherwise, please offer commentary on the ‘white vote’ as well.

Grant

Your story is very deceptive. You should have written that 70% of the African American voters who voted in the primary favored "uncommitted." CNN never misses an opportunity to post a story that presents a negative representation of Hillary Clinton. Why is that? CNN readers might begin to wonder whether you are truly reporting the news or trying to influence public opinion.

Blacks refusing to vote for anyone other than a black candidate? There's a shock.

Did anyone listen to Chis Matthews this evening? Boy, I almost threw up because of his active support and "politicing" for Clinton. I used to admire and watch this guy for years. Today, I quit. I guess it is because he received a "kiss" from Hillary recently.

What % of whites and Latinos were voting for Clinton and Obama? why only report on AA? This is the kind of politics thats pundits are pushing, and the American people are rejecting, coming together, for a common purpose.

A major victory for the Democratic Party tonight! A strong showing for 'uncommited' and a win for Mitt Romney!!!

People are seeing Hillary for what she truly is.

If she so fiercely attempted to defend remarks that she INDEED made, why can't she apologize for her vote to authorize the war in Iraq, with the same energy?

I'm white and voting for Obama. If I were black and Obama was not in the race, I would vote for Edwards. There's no way the Clintons deserve a single black vote. Actually, I think the Clinton owe blacks and hispanics so much that she should've dropped out and endorsed Obama or Richardson, or not run at all.

I think people should not twist things around and focus on what is on hand not what they think or what others believe what was said. Lets get off the train and start being independent on our decisions, and not follow the negative.

To: Hillary
Compiments of: The Obama Smear Machine

the clintons have shown how low they will go (again) here's "hoping" obama is the nation's secong black president

I'm gad Clinton is now aware that she isn't guaranteed the black vote just because "some" black people are fond of her husband. She needs to stop acting as if she has already won the nomination. She HAS NOT! Her campaign tricks and dirty politics are not flying over the heads of Americans. Oh and by the way Tim Russert, Chris Mathews, and the rest of the political commentators and hosts SUCK AT THEIR JOBS! They are totally favoring Hillary. It really is making me sick! How much more obvious can you be? START REPORTING THE FACTS. FACTS FACTS FACTS AND ONLY THE FACTS! Stop trying to influence people with subtle plugs for a "certain" candidate. Stop saying Barack has attacked HIllary, b/c he has not, stop saying hillary has the most experience b/c she DOES NOT, and stop bringing on horrible guests who are completely biased! Why don't you ever say Hillary takes a lot of money from lobbyists & PACS, why not report the fact that Barack has held more government positions than Hillary? Doesn't he deserve equal treatment or are you gunning for the Clintons to win this by any means necessary? MSNBC, CNN, and most news stations ARE A JOKE! STOP FEEDING and being the driving force behind false issues. STAY ON TASK AND GIVE THE PUBLIC THE REAL CHANCE TO SEE WHO EACH CANDIDATE IS!

AN IGNORANT, MISLEADING HEADING TO A STUPID ARTICLE! BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! HILLARY CLINTON WON 56% OF THE TOTAL VOTES CAST. "UNCOMMITED" WON 39%. ONE HAS TO ASSUME THAT EDWARDS HAD SOME OF THOSE VOTES. SOOOOO, HILLARY BEAT OBAMA AND EDWARDS PUT TOGETHER! GO HILLARY! HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT! WAY TO GO MICHIGAN!

Basically, it was Hillary's tone of voice regarding her comments about LBJ and the late MLK-Jr. Well all I can say is that one reaps what they sow! Whatever happened to the crying politician from New Hampshire?

I was never fooled, but unfortunately there are many who were fooled. Fooled enough to give her their votes. And by the way, it was Barack's camp that initiated a truce between the two candidates. So again, we're seeing real leadership in Barack! He's the real deal by far!

CNN how about reporting that Sen Clinton would have won by double digits if Sen Obama was on ballot too. So Please stop giving negative spin to any news concerned with Clinton.A news channel should be impartial rather than biased.

The real question is are they voting for him because he is black or because he is the best candidate. I would suggest that many are voting for him because he is black based on the wide difference in voting percentage. If it was based on records seeing that the other two candidates are very qualified the numbers should be closer.

I sure hope this is not the case because it would be a sad statement coming from many people in the black community.

MI you rock!! Especially Wayne County… thanks for going out and voting uncommitted… Hillary was basically the only person on the ticket and still didn't get the 80%+ you would think a person would get when they are running basically by themselves.

I find it pretty telling that she only won by 15% over NOBODY…………..That tells me that Hillary Clinton is UN-ELECTABLE.

Personally i see OBAMA as the only Democrat that stands a chance to win in the general election.

Hey Bean Counter,

Do us a favor and know your politics. Barack, Fred, and the other Dems didn't show up on the ballot because they decided to respect their party's wishes and withdraw from the race after Michigan suffered penalties for moving today's primary against old, founded National Democratic Party rules. They chose loyalty as opposed to Clinton - who LOOKS like a "big winner" i Michigan and someone one should vote for because she just "must be winning for a reason."

And why in the world are you ticked at Rudy? He's not a Democrat.

I couldn't be happier about this article this evening.

35 years of experience???? Are you kidding me???

It has a lot to do with race. Detroit politics are race.

Who’s this ridiculously biased reporter?
Clinton won almost 60% of the votes when Obama and Edwards supporters combined voted uncommitted for 39%.
End of story.

It has a lot to do with race. Detroit politics are entirely about race.

How ignorant you Obama supporters are. If you watched the debate her knowledge of issues is superior to him. I think all 3 would unite the country. If the African American community continues to try to divide the democratic party due to race we will lose the general elction. His answer about being CEO scares me to death.

The one sure thing I can say is that if Obama wins the nomination of the Democratic party we are in for another 4 years of a Republican controlled White House. This is not a racist comment, it is the fact. I may be ready and you may be ready but the majority of Americans are not yet there. Sad as it may be, it still remains true.

I work at an inner-city hospital in Detroit with an overwhelming majority of African American employees and patients… all I have heard is Hillary Clinton. It truly surprises me what is being suggested about the exit polling.

Bad omen for South Carolina. Unfortunately, Hillary and Bill has ticked off a large number of blacks who would have otherwise voted for her. Too bad.

Uncommited for President!

Why is this spinning against Clinton?
CNN is appearing more sexist than before and continues to loose the objectiveness that is claimed by america media. All words!!!
Shameful

yeah I can't believe that anyone would actually buy the messianic propaganda from obama that Clinton does not support African Americans. Unbelievable. Logical people for Clinton!

I know Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have called a truce, and everything is hunky dory and everything, but the truth of the matter is Senator Obama never brought the subject of race up at all and Clinton only backed off of her attacks when Obama took the high road and rightfully stated that Clinton's civil rights committment wasn't an issue and that he wanted to get away from personal attacks and focus on the issues. The Clinton campaign has been playing some very dirty politics recently, by playing up to stereotypes and having people like BET's Bob Johnson attempt to smear Mr. Obama while Hillary maintains plausible deniability. Those attacks have not fooled many people, and African Americans are increasingly realizing that an attempt is being made to turn them against one of the most competent, intelligent, viable candidates to run for president of the United States in decades, who also happens to be African American.

The uncommitted would be both Obama and Edwards togather, looks like a landslide for Senator Clinton. Not her fault Michigan messed up there Delagate Count. Both Edwards and Obama are on the Florida Ballet, knowing it too was suspended like Michigan. Senator Clinton is the best candidate for President. A Clinton / Obama ticket would be unbeatable. My gut feeling tells me that Clinton can win without Obama, but I do not feel Obama can win without Clinton. This team would be so GREAT for America.

"Senator Clinton for President of the United States 2008″

This is completely predictable - given her "I'm better than you" attitude toward ANYONE, EVERYONE.

May the statesman in this race succeed.

Hillary, was by far the best, in the debate, Obama is a nice guy, but he just not ready to run the goverment, he won the uncommitted in the debate, Hillary is the only of the three who can beat Romney, and lead US out of the dark years of Bush.

It is truly amazing how dumb you people are

The latest responses and use of only her "black" surrogates along with her silence on the statements, says it all. Don't underestimate the ability of African American voters to see through the veil !!!!

I like how the Hillary supporters are claiming this is a "victory". A victory against, who? Dodd, Gravel, and Kucinich? Those three combined couldn't get 10% of the vote if thier livelihoods depended on it.

Seriously … to think that Hillary someone how won, because she got more votes than uncommited is asinine. If my parents went to the polls, and they saw Hillary Rodham and Uncommited, they'd probably just vote for Rodham. It's not that they would want to vote for her, it's because it's the only vote on that there that appears to be logical. Unless you are plugged into the internet or aare a political junky, you're probably not going to know that voting Uncommited was an unerground way to show your dissatisfaction with Rodham.

If I were a Hillary Rodham supporter, and I saw my fellows shouting and hollaring how great a victory this was, I would be embarassed for them, and I would be even more ashamed my candidate did not show solidarity with her party. But then again, when you've got no shame, you leave your name on the ballot to claim VICTORY … against no one!

In some ways, I think this serves her right for the incredibly negative onslaught her campaign has just waged against Obama. The press discusses this recent spat like both groups fomented it equally.
To anyone paying attention, it seems that the Clinton campaign, (candidate, Bill, and surrogates), aggressively tried to spin a few awkward statements to their advantage at the expense of Obama's. I do not for a minute think that the Clintons meant to slander MLK or insult African Americans, but there is no denying that they both had been going all out negative against Obama in NH, then made a few whoops moment comments that could be interpreted to involve race in speeches or to the press. The Obama campaign spent several days not commenting at all on the storm created by the Clintons. However, when many (neutral!) black leaders called for apologies, the Clintons said that the Obama campaign had put them up to it, and began trying to say that Obama had played the race card. Obama finally commented, saying he had no comment, but the storm went on until he finally called for a truce which the Clinton campaign jumped at because they could tell a quagmire when they saw it.
I think the whole episode was unfortunate for their party, and for race relations in our country. A quick clarification and apology on the part of the Clintons (as well as significantly less use of negative campaigning), would solve the whole thing and allow the candidates to talk about real issues!

PLEASE! Doesn't anyone think it's a little coincidental that the RACE CARD got played right before SOUTH Carolina? As someone who graduated with a Political Science degree, I see this as very strategic on Obama's part.

If we continue to play this out as a racial Obama will win, which is exactly what he wants. However, he will not win the election, because long term democrats like me will not vote for Obama, because he doesn't have the experience to run the country. Plus, I will not vote for someone that won a Presidential primary by "playing" the race card. I may believe the race is extremely sexist; however I admire Hillary Clinton for saying that she is not running because she is a woman, while Obama thinks he is the next Martin Luther King and preaches his "yes we can" from his pulpit. At least Hillary has not played the gender card - she did not cry on purpose. Her tears were genuinue. Obama has played the race card.

So, if Obama does win the Primary. I will laugh as he divides the democrats, and as he cries foul as Republicans bring up his inexperience and his drug use repeatedly and he is shocked when they offer no apology.

To Bean Counter…it is not fair to say that Obama and the other Dems do not care about Michigan. The state was stripped of it delegates so why would they spend valuable resources (time, money) into a state which has no bearing on their overall delegate count? From the exit polls, it seems as if the people (or at least the black majority) understand this. Not sure if Hillary's campaigning in that state will hurt her in terms of the afore mentioned resources in the long run.

This development on the black vote could be troubling. However, the analysis is flawed.

There is a dynamic that is missing in this election. One doesn't really feel that there is a choice between Obama and Clinton. There is also the chance that since Clinton was a sure win, many of her supporters (black, white, asian or latino) may have stayed home. Obviously, the ones who came and voted "Uncommited" have self-selected for Obama/Edwards. Conversely, the ones who stayed home are more likely Clinton voters.

It's a warning, but it may not tell the whole story.

What about women voters in Michigan, what do the exit polls show about their support of Clinton?

And the bashing continues…..

No one appreciates negative campaigning. It just hardens the positions of those who oppose you.

Here in Washtenaw county, Michigan, we hands down rejected senator Clinton as the Democratic party nominee. The exit polls confirm that what gave Hillary the win over "uncommited" in Michigan are white, over 48 citizens. This may be a solid base for Hillary, but as this primary continues to unfold, it is becoming clear that Hillary is a polarizing figure like none the Democratic party has seen in a while.

It is not only the case that democratic voters see Obama and Edwards as viable and competent candidates, but that they refuse to accept senator Clinton as the nominee. If she gets this nomination, it is very possible, based on what has been demonstrated during this primary, that her polarizing effect inside the democratic party will carry over to the general election where centrist candidates such as McCain and Bloomberg can take many democratic votes away from Hillary.

ahhahahah hillary campaign is claiming victory in MI by being the only one on the ballot!

ugh what a travesty!

Here we go again with the polls. It should be borne in mind that the Michigan democratic primary was meaningless. It is highly possible that black people who feel antipathy against Ms. Clinton were more likely to come out and express that view.

I find it hard to believe that, after supporting the Clintons for years, the black community is suddently going to en masse turn against Hillary. If that is indeed the case it would be disheartening to see how fickle the black community is.

What is really troubling is that Clinton won over 60% of the white vote. And many African American politicians in Detroit were pushing the uncommited.

WE NEED OBAMA in the white house!!

The younger generation is voting for a CHANGE. They are inspired by OBAMA's message and these people are the ones who will vote in future elections.

He has a vision, new ideas and will bring diverse, brilliant and progressive people into the White House and Washington.

NEW SCHOOL POLITICS in '08!!!!

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!!!

Here we go again, the media trying to finish with hillary's career, Cnn has united with MSNBC, Newsweek to go against one great woman. I hope they come to their senses and stop this media fuzz. At the end Hillary will overcome cnn and msnbc and she will be elected the new president of this country. Then we will see how cnn and msnbc react to that.

Mrs. Clinton will not be getting my vote. I'm a Black woman who does not like her. Her attitude seems to be that she deserves to be president by virtue of her having endured Bill Clinton. She thinks she's entitled. I think she's a closet racist.

Why hasn't the media picked upon the nasty statement made by Michelle Obama regarding "if you can't run your own house you certainly can't run a white house"

Her statements need to be analyzed and well documented across the media. Yes they sem to have a free ride.

It is funny that so many people are swept up in the Obama illusion. His "world experience" consisted of playing with future Muslim terrorists when he was a child. Then upon reaching adulthood, he dabbled in the fine art of drug use and even in his own words mentioned that he was on the way to becoming a "junkie". Now you have a man who has no real experience in life (except using a crack pipe) who is being blindly followed by the countless number of sheep who vote for him. It is unfortunate that a man who has no real skills and absolutely no world experience is so close to being put in the White House. The rest of the world is laughing loudly at America as I speak. You may have your dream, but I fear the reality you will create.

And don't assume either, that I am a Hillary supporter. On the contrary, I disagree with many of her policies. But when the future of the country that I love dearly is jeopordized by the ignorance of the masses…well, I would pick ANY of the candidates over Obama.

well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i hope she can she what happened in michigan. without obama and edward. a lot of people did not vote for her,all along i think she is fake, was fake and will always be fake. she won nh because the woman voters felt sorry for her,and voted for her. that all.

Clinton appears to be in trouble… she barely overcame NOBODY. Anyone can beat nobody; the fact that she hardly won an UNCONTESTED election is grim for her indeed. It's like barely beating a punching bag in a boxing match…

Barack Obama! Dirty Politics from the Clinton Machine and Media Cronies don't sway those who have done their HW! We support you and we appreciate a real person running for President! Thank you! YES WE CAN!

Owhh COME ON CNN…the more I read these tickers and news, the more I believe that your affiliations and employees are pro-Obama or Hillary-Haters… Why dont you, CNN, just endorse someone, so that way we know for real if these are biased news/tickers or not. At least get a group of people who are pro-Clinton to write some of the news/tickers so that we can read from both sides of the story. CNN always say MI is unimportant, Hillary wins but the numbers are unimportant to be analyze, that doesnt mean anything CNN says… but only 22% black voters vote for Clinton, and its the big talk of the day and more bad speculations from CNN. I read CNN everyday and I used to find that they are unbiased and good in their newsmaking… very well informed and I come here to read all kind of news.. But please, if you want to be biased, endorse someone and let the people know where CNN as a whole stand. It can be hard for someone in the newsroom to be unbiased, but at least get people who's pro-Clinton to write too, so I can read something that is not demeaning and harsh towards Hillary everytime I read or watch CNN. Coz believe me if all the news CNN has to offer doesnt stop being negative about Hillary and pro Obama all the time, I be the first one out and will look for other companies to get the news..

It’s cool to give Obama a free pass. The media simply doesn’t hold him to the same standard; they don’t pound away at him like they do Hillary. They’ve been on her for months while his follies go unnoticed. His dear-in-the-headlights response during the last debate when Gibson called him on his claim that he instituted lobbyist reform – when all he did was allow lobbyist gifts to lawmakers as long as they were standing up and not sitting down – was priceless and not a single mainstream media outlet picked up on yet they continued to slam Hillary on anything and everything. I think this is in part due to the fear of being accused of racism for holding Obama to the same standard as Hillary. It’s really liberal white guilt at play here and Obama, like the typical cynical politician that he is, is exploiting it very cleverly.

If it’s not ok that the white woman is a calculating gender-baiting politician then it shouldn’t be ok that the black man is a calculating race-baiting politician either. Otherwise, it’s not truly equality you’re after.

It's also interesting to read all the poor grammar, spelling, punctuation, delivery & grasp of the issues and modern history of the Obama supporters. As a supporter of the only truly qualified person on the ticket I have to say I find it comforting and hysterical. As an American and fellow vote caster, I find it disturbing.

GO MICHIGAN way to GO!!!!!!!!!!!Thats how you say no to STATUS QUO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08,12

And Hillary if you really think Barak is going to co-sponsor that bill with you , I have some Lots on the Moon I can sell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN:: You guys are so biased.!!

Even when she wins you somehow make it a point to trash her

To MARYLOU JONES,

I don’t think you get it. If Hillary cannot win by a landslide and she is pretty much the ONLY candidate on the ballot. That is Not a Win in any regards.

On top of that after her deliberate attempt to put Race into the Campaigns, Hillary then losses 70 % of the Black vote to a nameless faceless uncommitted.

Face it Hillary just CANNOT keep her head out of that Republican Play Book. We do like that about her as it is continuing to prove to be her undoing.

I am an African America, I think we have forgotten all the Clintons did for the blacks. If a race card is in the issue we better count the Clintons out because they have been helping us ever befor the running for election. For any of us to say the are playing a race card that would be too mean to say. If ever Obama wins Democrat party He better wait for Republican because I have not seen/heard him saying what his plans will be. The problem is not talking the talk, it's doing the job

Forget black or white or latino or Asian, humans vote for Obama and robots vote for Hillary.

Human beings for Obama !

Obama is once-in-a-lifetime-candidate, I am just happy to be born in the same era.

James Brown (Independent) got it right, this shows just how unelectable Hillary is. How will Democrats ever expect to regain the White House if they nominate someone who gets 55% of the Democratic vote when she's basically uncontested?? The Republicans will bury her.

since there is some doubt whether the michigan delegates will eventually be seated at the convention, wouldn't the make party officials a bit of potential king-maker? couldn't they decide to seat delegates or not seat them them based on their own preferences as to who should have the nomination?

Registered Democrat here, however if it comes down to a choice between Hillary and Romney, I would choose Romney.

Time to face the music

Why don't the news media ever question Hillary on her 35 years of EXPERIENCE.
Have we overlooked, Hillary is almost 20 years older than Barack. As her own husband stated give me a break.

Racism is alive and well in Michigan as it will be in South Carolina. There is little doubt that IF Barack were white instead of black he would be battling hard to stay out of third place in every state.

As it stands…Barack Obama's color will automatically garner him the majority of black votes anywhere he goes. Too bad…because…yet again (as in President Bush's election wins)…people will vote with their "feelings" instead of with their brains.

Funny…but if Hillary Clinton were black….Barack would be lucky to finish within 30% of a Hillary win in South Carolina.

Again…racism is alive and well on both side of the aisle.

This is definitely a Hillary Clinton bashing story. She won a percentage that in any election would have won . Now CNN tries to paint it as a loss. The candidates agree to put race behind them and you are still pushing the issue. I am from Louisiana where in many locales the African-American vote is the majority but whites and other races win the elections against African-Americans all the time. If she only received 20%+ of the African-American vote then she received a huge number of the rest of the race spectrum. South Carolina does have other races that participate in large numbers in the Democratic Primary. Somehow the press wants to fuel the racial devide so bad they will put out any story just to race bait the campaign. Clinton was not aloud to campaign in Michigan and still won handily. CNN is trading in integrity for ratings but how should it be any better than any other news organization.

Hillary did not even 'anything'!

Let's see - the way that I understand this if I am not mistaken - in order for the uncommitted vote to work it needed to be at least 15% which it was - so now the delegates from Michigan can go to the convention and they will have a 'voice'. So Hillary did not win anything at all by a landslide - she did not even come out of this with 'one' delegate and the delegates can now vote for Obama or Edwards at the convention. YES WE CAN!

MARYLOU JONES -

the problem this win presents for Hillary is that in an uncontested election, the "winner" usually wins like 75% to 90% of the vote, so under these circumstances 56% isn't really something to be proud of.

America should not be even considering voting along racial lines, but it clearly is.

It must be a wake up call for a lot of 'white' people.

CNN's apparent bias away from Clinton is deplorable.

Why do you idiots keep talking race. Sharpton and Clyburn both state the words spoken by the Clinton's were taken out of text. Leave it go Already! Is this you all have to run with? Use those keyboards and do some factual research instead of typing empty, mindless, thoughtless opinions. Get a backbone and back it up with FACTS.
After tonight’s debate, I believe that “The Candidate Who Really Can and Will Bring Change,” and truly displayed leadership qualities and experience is Hillary R. Clinton.

Jason - I agree it is shocking that blacks refuse to vote for anyone other than black candidates. Such nonsense. Be that as it may, I'll bet it pales in comparison to whites historically refusing to vote for anyone other than white candidates. But then again, how much choice have we really had in this country? Your thoughts and/or admissions?

Hillary 56% vs. uncommitted (that is Edwards' and Obama's combined) 39%. Isn't it a landslide victory for Hillary? Folks, Go figure.

Everyone is overlooking one important point. The fact that Michigan democrats bothered to vote at all tells us something. It tells us that even though their vote doesn't count they still wanted to be heard. This means some people actually get it. Those uncommitted votes would have gone to either Edwards or Obama therefore HILLARY would have won either way. It means that people cared enough to vote for her even though it didn't count. They also cared enough to not vote for her as well. If anyone saw the debate tonight you would have heard Barack admit that over zelist supporters pushed the issue of race intentionally. If you did not see Meet the Press last Sunday I invite you to check it out on youtube and then decide if what she said was racist. Don't just get your news from spoon fed sound bites tailored to fictionalize the issues. There really isn't much seperation between these 2 fine candidates and this was evident in tonights debate. The only think seperating them is experience.

Why, then, did the commentator on CNN just a few minutes ago suggest that the large percentage of "uncommitted" voters represented a protest agains the Democratic Party's decision to punish Michigan for going early with its primary? Look at your own map: a majority of Dem. voters in Washtenaw County (home of Ann Arbor and the U. of Michigan) vote uncommitted. It's a very white county. The upshot: many Dems. expressed their disapproval of Clinton, even though she was the only major candidate with her name on the ballot.

Why does the media keep playing "the race card". The candidates are trying to rise above this "segmenting" yet the media keeps dishing it up again and again. I'm sick of it.
And I'm sick of the idiotic bloggers who just spew emotional negative comments. GROW UP. Obama bloggers in particular are showing themselves to be incapable of intelligent comments. Talk about "hate". Nasty.

I used to live in Michigan so I'm not terribly surprised by the result. Uncommitted did not just get the black vote in Wayne County. Uncommitted also won Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor) outright. Now it's possible that a goodly chunk of Wayne County consisted of Edwards supporters - especially some of the heavily union downriver cities like Wyandotte. But the Washtenaw total comes primarily from young people and from white liberals.

The three parts to the base of the Democratic Party are white liberals, African Americans, and union voters. In Michigan, Hillary only managed to win union members and probably split liberals (especially white women). Hillary did strongest among white women - and probably working class white women. That's a critical constituency in the Democratic Party as New Hampshire showed. But it isn't the only one.

More importantly, nobody campaigned there, very few voters actually showed up (7% turnout I believe), and Clinton was the only major candidate on the ballot. Regardless of the Edwards/Obama split, that 40% of Michigan Democratic voters actually bothered to show up just to register opposition to Clinton is significant. This wasn't just an Obama vote, which presumably would have been much greater had he actually campaigned in the state. It was a rejection of Hillary. And she better take notice before South Carolina.

I think it is bad politics when the candidates take them self off the ballot to try to influence the vote. I actually think they were were afraid they might lose….Obama and Edwards. Should we then split the uncommitted vote count between Obama and Edwards. If the people that voted uncommitted are actually for Obama or Edwards, then what does that say about their candidates?? I am not a democrat, but this is just wrong. Go Hillary (even though you are not getting my vote….at this time). I am not Democrat, Republican, or Independent. My party is AMERICAN!

I would love to see a debate with both parties, same questions, and Lou Dobbs and Glen Beck as moderators.

white voter please dont get discourage by the amount of racial talk on the tv this few days HILLARY DOING THIS BECAUSE SHE WANT YOU TO TURN AGAINT OBAMA BUT WE CAN ALL SEE OBAMA IS A NICE HONEST HARDWORKING PERSON DONT WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT GRASS ROOT AND HAS BEEN THROUGH IT ALL THE GUY GREW UP WITH IS MOTHER ONLY AND FACE SOME REALLY HARD TIME WE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO KNOWS HOW IT FEEL TO BE HUNGRY HOW IT FEEL TO GO TO BED HUNGRY HOW IT FEEL TO WANT SOMETHING AND HAVE TO DO WITH OUT BECAUSE WE CANT AFFORD IT SO WE WANT A PRESIDENT WHO'S A GOOD LISTENER WHO WILL LISEN TO IS PEOPLE CLINTON AS BEEN IN IT FOR 35 YEARS NOW 35YEARS DONT U THINK IT TIME TO GIVE SOMEONE NEW A CHANCE WHAT HER HUSBAND WAS PRESIDENT ISN'T THAT ENOUGH WHAT THEY WANT EVERYONE TO TURN PRESIDENT IN THERE FAMILY IF SHE BECOME THE PRESIDENT THEN NEXT IT CHELSEA WE WANT A HONEST, KIND ,HARDWORKING GOOD LISTENER FOR PRESIDENT WE WANT OBAMA.

Don't you think that those who vote for one dem candidate will support the nominee in th general election? One way or another we're going to have a democratic president whose first task will be to repair the damage done by bush/cheney. I think we really need to focus on the big prize, returning our country to nation of civil liberty and international respectability, ending the crazy wars and big business hand outs. Both of these candidates are capable, both are respectable, both will make history with there election. Lets not hurt either's chances in the general election with nitpicking and borderline slander. The end result just might be President Romney.

The young, and the blacks back Obama and still lose 60% to 39%, There really are going to be dissapointed come supper duper tuesday

Hillary has been toast for several days, the MSM just can't get their mind around it.

Interesting that Obama and Hillary split the male vote in Michigan…well uncommitted and Hillary did…

You Hillary-haters are irrational. You have a woman who has spent decades working for civil rights, for children, for equal rights for gays, for education … and yet you sit there and belittle her because she's a strong woman who's taken her lumps just as well as, and perhaps better than, her male colleagues. Shame on you for the way you bust on her.

Sure, let's instead elect someone who hasn't even finished a SINGLE term as U.S. Senator. That makes a ton of sense. Sure, let's entrust the country to someone whose biggest legislative feat is making sure that lobbyists have to stand up while buying their Congressmen's lunches.

Don't get me wrong. I like Obama. I like him a lot. But would you want a student teacher to suddenly become Secretary of Education? Would you want someone who just learned to swim last week serving as a lifeguard at the pool where your daughter swims? Obama's got a bright future ahead of him. But right now, our country needs someone who not only has a vision, but also knows how to accomplish it.

Guys as it is said, the stew you brew today, you'll drink tomorrow, its that simple…

I don't understand why Obama/Edwards would first send a statement by staying off the ballot and then later send another statement by staying on the ballot as 'uncommitted'.

If anything, the Obama/Edwards statement :

a) Oops, I changed my mind about wanting to be on the ballot or
b) Let's take a gamble and see whether we can beat Hillary numbers.
c) Let's at least see what numbers we can get to get a pulse on the voters. We can interpret whatever we want into the data anyway.

In sum, very flip floppy.

I have nothing negative to say of Obama. I simply prefer Clinton to Obama. I have noticed that CNN and much other media seems to be pro-Obama. The way Hillary's NH win was covered was that of Hillary barely squeaking out a win and more coverage went to 'what went wrong in the poll?' rather than Hillary's come from behind (at least in recent polls) victory. I have been a loyal viewer of CNN and reader of CNN.com and I find the coverage to be troubling. I believe they need to keep a balanced view and stop putting their own spins on campaign activities and elections outcomes. I think they may be trying to keep the race close so that their viewership remains high. Just let the candidates debate it out and let the nation decide the winner without bias. Please.

All this tells me is 70% of the black vote went to uncommitted and she still won.

This is a win for Hillary!!

Mayby Oboma will be her VP

Hillary got 55% that is a clear majority. I listened today to various pundits, the Michigan Democratic Chair, "progressive radio, and Obama supporters pushing uncommitted.
If another candidate got 100% of the uncommitted that candidate would still have lost.
If those of you who cheer the uncommitted are elated, how would you have felt if Obama, Edwards or any other candidate of your choice got 55% as opposed to your candidate. Spin on as you spin out.

More than anything, I am observing which presidential candiate demonstrates the best leadership skills which will best serve our country. Slamming each demonstrates how they may behave with foreign leaders. Our next president needs to be a true diplomat not a gun slinger.

They're both in the pockets of big-time special interests–for starters. HRC has the health insurers, Obama has the nuke folks and coal producers. Meanwhile, the recession for the poor and middle class keeps deepening, the environment continues to be trashed, corn ethanol (which they both support) threatens the stability of the international food supply and Bush has managed to obligate U.S. significant security (read "troops") to Iraq for at least the next decade. Plus, Obama–and I assume Hillary, as well–would shift resources to Afghanistan in the crazy hope that the U.S. military would become the first and only invading force in recorded history to pacify that famously tough and cantankerous part of the globe. (Obviously, they ceased to teach world history at tony eastern universities long ago. )
These are the people we want to run the country during perilous times? Ugh. They're both slick lawyers with essentially no executive or high-level managerial experience. And both have longtime party hacks and power brokers in their respective in their camps. Face it, the party is listing at a time when we ought to be getting set to stomp the GOP. If Romney finds his footing or a reasonably appealing third party candidate appears in the next couple months, the general election is hardly a lock for either of our major candidates. I've seen this all before. My party has always been good at discovering new ways to blow its chances.

Please excuse me if I am being highly ignorant here in my misunderstanding of the way in which the system works but why was Senator Clinton's name even left on the ballot? Was she trying to score some kind of psychological victory over the other Democratic candidates (primarily Senator Obama)….?

Hillary their is a saying that hold well among the African American race "Fool me ONCE then SHAME on YOU; fool me TWICE then SHAME on ME." We African Americans DONT LIKE TO BE PLAYED AS FOOLS!! But don't worry about it cause I can't wait until you get to my state of SOUTH CAROLINA and you'll truly see what happens

prediseser are usually worst loot at senior bush he did a good job for the country everyone thought is son would follow in his foot step but he did worst so we dont want to make the same mistake one clinton is enough if u put a second one in the white house it going to distroy the country didn't you see the flags fall when hillary was on stage that i sign of what to come if she become president.

They lost 60% to 39%, They are really going to be disapointed come super tuesday. Whats that mean, They cant suport The Hillary if she wins.

I am troubled by the subject of this headline. Are we to expect that AA voters are "supposed" to vote for Obama, b/c he is also AA? then should we expect white voters to vote for the white candidates, male voters to vote for the male candidates, and women voters for Clinton? Why are you even evaluating this type of data. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Despite the meaningless Dem primary, it was heartening to see that hundreds of thousands came out, that Clinton won by a landslide over the "uncommitteds", which are both Obama and Edwards put together, and Clinton had more votes than McCain! Don't worry HIllary, america is behind you, the truth will lead you to victory, Obama has absolutely nothing, and Edwards is just riding on the wrong coattails! And you ruled the Nevada debate today, confident, informed, experienced, you will change America!

Ok I don't get this reporting. Biased. Uncommitted votes are for Obama and Edwards combined. I don't know who else took their names out. Maybe you could break down % voters of other ethnic groups, too.

As a 17 yr old, African American male, I support Hillary Clinton. I hate this argument amongst the Dems. First off, she won the primary. She won 55% of the vote compared to 39-40% of "uncommitted" She didn't even win by that much in New Hampshire and there was one candidate extra on the ballot.

The voters of MI are angry at the Dems for not campaigning there or at least leaving their name on the ballot. That's why Obama nor Edwards even got close to Clinton. She got 312,540 votes to uncommitted's 226,474 votes. She blew them out. Combined Edwards and Obama only got 226,474 votes. That shows that their supporters weren't too happy with them either. Also, while Obama got 70% of the blacks (VOTING) in the primary, it doesn't show how many statewide didn't vote. Also, just because he got 70% doesn't mean black people don't like Hillary. My family( except for me) is supporting Obama because they would like to see a black man in the WH. They LOVE the Clintons!!! They actually feel that Hillary is more qualified. So the black vote is merely support for a black candidate.

Uncommited in 08… now that's a bumper sticker… I'm going to make millions

The "Uncommitted" vote doesn't mean that 37% of Michigan's Democratic votes would have gone to not-Hillary… It means that 37% of the vote was from people who came out in the cold to vote against her. Democratic turnout was fairly low from all accounts, and there's no way to tell what the real result might have been.

It does suggest a fairly strong faction is opposed to Hillary Clinton for president, though.

people of america god is giving us a sign did u saw all those flag tumble down when HILLARY was giving a speech on tv that a sign from got that america is going to fall if we all HILLARY to become president

Democrats, you are acting like republicans… no wonder an idiot like Bush won, twice. If Democrats like yourselves continue to name call, continue to be led by a reckless tabloid obssessed media, it will only hurt our chances next November. Republicans must be really enjoying this moment…

This doesnt mean anything..Most people stayed home…Why should 70% of African Americans voting for uncommited suprise anyone. Jesse Jackson got %55 when he ran and look where that got him…We wont know anything til after 2-5 unitl then calm down!

I would also like to point out that during the debate tonight, Obama himself stated that he regretted his campaign's pushing the race issue and the Congressman from SC, Clyburn, has stated that he can accept both Hillary's and Bill's explanations. So let's not give charisma a pass. And, as others have stated, the exit polls only reflects those who turned out to vote, which was an extremely low number considering MI has around 7 million registered voters, so they aren't informative for any of the dem candidates.

It amazes me some of the remarks people will make. At the same time, it puts a smile on my face. In this country we have a right to have our voices heard and to what we feel. The fact that people can so blindly and strikingly say Clinton is unelectable amazes me. Unelectable is now serving a second elected term in the Senate.

Obama is a strong candidate as well. His political savy and his passion speak volumes for him. We talk about his experience or lack thereof quite a bit. Tell me honestly, what kind of experience do you want in a President? What do we need from a President? I want someone to unite and improve our country. I believe anyone with a desire to lead and govern our nation could accomplish this. We elect a president who works in community with the other 2 branches of government. It is isn't as if whomever we elect will be allowed to function independent of the other 2. (It was our government collectively, at least the executive and the legislative, who moved us to war.)

I do think one statement is remarkable and should be examined. If African Americans are voting for Obama because of the color of his skin then that of course doesn't speak highly of that community. And ask yourself, you read these polls and you hear these pundits, what do you hear in your community? What about your work? Your family? Your friends? What is the true gauge of what is going on in our country. Most African Americans I know are voting for the candidate they feel is better qualified. (Honestly, they are equally split between the Clinton and Obama.) And as for the hispanics I know, oddly enough it's a race between Clinton and Edwards. And the white people I know, if we were to ever talk about the white vote, well many of those people are for Clinton, but an equal number are against her. (The primary reason most people I know give for not supporting Clinton is more of the gender issue, an issue many people will not speak publicly about.)

Either candidate is extrememly electable. This country is primed for a Democratic victory. Look at voter turnout. The Democrats are showing out in numbers that are quite impressive. If Democrats are this active in the general election as they are in these primaries, Republicans do not stand much of a chance.

Why don't we just start a new party? I know they start all the time, the Green Party, the Libertarians, and all kinds of parties. Those fail for many reasons. Let's just start the Party. We've been needing a really good party in this country for some time. So bring our troops home, let's party. We'll figure it all out. We'll join together, and we'll reclaim our lives, our successes, our economy. The new party is The Party. Sound fun….

Of course 70% of black voters voted "uncommitted". I don't blame them, especially if their candidate of choice was Barack Obama. This is no slap to Hillary. The fact of the matter is, she still received 55% of the vote (yes, CNN, that's over half). That ought to be the real story; that not even the COMBINED effect of Obama and Edwards "uncommitted" voters was enough to beat Hillary.

She's so phony it makes me puke. I hope people can see that… and I believe they are starting to.
I'm not saying my race cause honestly, doesn't matter. I'm a 31 and a Democrat from Tennessee and hope the American people can see that Barack Obama is exactly what this country needs.

Gee, if Obama's name was on the ballet…gee….he…woulda….coulda…shoulda…

These polls don't mean anything, that much is clear….and neither do most of these ticker reports from the Obmarama machine at CNN.

Go Hillary!

people of america thier is sign everywhere did you saw those flags tumble down when HILLARY was giving a speech that a sign that god is not please ;that a sign that america is going to tumble if we allow HILLARY to be comes we want OBAMA GOD WANT'S OBAMA TO BECOME PRESIDENT.

IF THE CANDIDATES HAVE CALLED A TRUCE, WHY CAN'T THE MEDIA. WHY ARE YOU STILL ALLOWING THIS TYPE OF NEWS TO CONTINUE? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? YOU ARE MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT BLACKS SNUBBING HILLARY. WAS THE QUESTION ASKED "ARE YOU BLACK PEOPLE SNUBBING HILLARY CLINTON - YES OR NO" I DON'T THINK SO! COULD YOU PLEASE LET THESE TYPES OF STORIES GO. IN THE END IT WILL HURT EVERYONE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CNN.

I am offended, LBJ worked hard to get the civil rights bill signed into law. I am outraged that his contribution is being minimized by the leaders in the black community, so I am voting for a white candidate.

I am an African American woman and this years Obama voters are the Nader voters of 2000, black, white or orange.

My finances were much more stable under the Clinton's and I am willing to take that chance. I'll go to church for the preaching stuff…

So blacks only vote for there own race?

I’m still waiting on the numbers for the ‘white vote’.

Grant

Obama for president and John Edwards for VP.

Obama and Edwards combined could only muster 40% of the vote for Uncommitted? What's so great about that? It's a solid win for Clinton.

For those of you trying to spin this as a Hillary win because she got 55% (with 97% in) The uncomitteds are really telling, yes some of those were probably for Edwards, but exit polling indicates that 73% of those voting uncommitted would have voted for Obama. So before you get all excited because that is still less than Clintons 55%, keep this in mind. There was really no reason to vote as they got no delegates and the weather was bad, so how many people stayed home and how would they have voted, We really don't know, but to have 40% vote uncommitted when yours is the only name on the ballot is a disaster. And I don't think it's just African Americans. I fit right in Sen. Clinton's main demographic (white, female, 40+) and she is the last person I would vote for. I volunteered for Bill Clinton back in '92, but I just can't support Hillary, she voted for the war without even thinking of the consequences.

As South Caroina goes, so goes Alabama, but nothing else!.

Obama is a great motivational speaker. It does make sense that the african-american people are more moved by Obama than others simply because they can relate to Obama more. His motivation techniques work more with them. Democracy should be more about experience and talent rather than how much motivation you can provide to your listeners. People seriously need to wake up! Clintons have done so much more for the african-american community that no one can deny. They are the champions of civil rights. Twisted words of Hillary in addition to some motivational techniques should not override the past contributions of the clintons. Again, people seriously need to wake up!

Honestly speaking, Obama has very little experience. Even if he does get the nomination of Democratic Party he will NOT win the presidential election. There are many reasons behind that. One reason would be that he will be slammed by the republicans for his lack of experience. On the other hand, if Hillary gets the nomination overwhelmingly people will vote for her. She already has a good political experience and base.

CNN WHEN will you guys stop talking about this race issue?

All these people that are jumping on the Obama band wagon… saying I'm voting Obama because he's got swagger or he's cute. How pathetic is that. Yes the guy talks like a preacher man or a motivational speaker. But charm, swagger, or looks do not make you presidential material. God help us if we vote in someone based on their looks or swagger. How about we elect Tom Cruise or Angelina Jolie for president? This country is going down the toilet.

PEOPLE THERE SOMETHING ABOUT OBAMA THERE SOME MAGICAL UPLIFTING ENERGY PULLING YOU TOWARDS HIM AND I KNOW ALOT APEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY AND AM TELLING YOU DONT FIGHT IT GO WITH THE FLOW FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS FOLLOW YOUR HEART IT WILL NEVER LEED YOU A STRAY IT WIL NEVER MAKE YOU GO WRONG VOTE OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT. YES WE CAN AMERIC, YES WE CAN

wow the hillary bashing again….She won the debate and your guys lost..face it..
Obama made statements that he did not push the press to keep going with the race issue and TIm Russett shoved three pages of it in his face….

This is very good new for Barack . That mic African Americans would of voted for Barack . Well maybe she should never started this race thing to begin with .
73% for Barack yes we can . BIG SMILE .

Here is how I take the Michigan primary results. Clinton was the only major name on the ballot that could be voted for, and the campaign to vote for uncommitted as a protest only existed for about a week prior to todays primary. Therefore, people unaware of the vote uncommitted campaign, or unsure of how it worked, would have stayed home, not Clinton supporters, who could have actually voted for their candidate.

You can not look at the uncommitted vote as being the total of the Obama, Edwards support, as many Democrats also voted in the Republican primary (more moderate Democrats, who are more likely to support Obama or Edwards). Also, the total turnout of this primary is nowhere near what it would have been if candidates were actually campaigning in the state. No one can truly claim victory here, especially Clinton, who only received 55% of the vote in a state where she in effect ran unopposed.

Listen, friends:

I'm from Michigan, and I'm an African American. And I'm a political junky. But I was not motivated to vote in the DEM primary because…WHO CARES! The votes won't count, and if we didn't get enough uncommitted votes, then still no one really loses.

Do you understand how many other African Americans felt the same way I did. Who didn't feel like standing in line in the cold to vote today, for a pointless, countless election?Hillary lost horribly today, and if Obama had been on the ballot, she would have been annihilated.

Now, what I really hope is that John Edwards stays in the race, because I really like him, and I would love to learn more about him and Obama. Hillary is a characterless, conniving, divider. If her campaign tactics are any indication of how she plays the political game, then i don't want any part of it. We need to be united as one nation when this is over, because we have a lot of problems that need solving.
