Mr Barrack Hussein is shedding tears now, I wonder what he will do if or when he wins the normination and the republican attack machine starts to come after him? If you cannot stand the heat get out of the kitchen

There is also a problem here for Obama, he is clearly not getting white votes or hispanic votes. This will hurt him in many states and definitely in the general election if he gets the nomination. I would suggest that all Republicans are celebrating these trends. They mean another Republican president. Thank you Democrats

Something to think about ! How do you feel about how this country overall has been the last 19 years, do you remember the 80's. Since then we had Bush Clinton, and if Hillary gets elected it will be 24 or possibly 28 years of Bush Clinton. In my opinion I believe we need a change no matter the out come who gets elected.

It shouldn't matter whether you are white or African American when it comes to voting. All I ever hear is how prejudiced white people won't vote for an African American. Why don't I hear the same outrage when it is the other way. I am sure 80 % of the African Americans aren't voting for him just because he is a good candidate. Prejudice is prejudice. It doesn't make any difference which side is peddling it.

Harvard Grads for Obama 08

It seems that Obama who's campaign initiated this "race" issue is trying to play the victim with the aid of the press.had they not twisted Mr. Clintons criticism of his contradictory actions with regards to the Iraq war into a racial issue, or the statement by HRC regarding the role LBJ on the civil rights legislation ,race would be a non issue. they were not satisfied with the overly friendly press, they sought to shield themselves from any criticism by hollering racism at every turn.I support HRC, but I thought that he was someone I can vote for if he wins the nomination.now, I see him as just another Jesse Jackson with a harvard degree.2 unproductive years in the senate and he dared to compare himself to MLK,THE NERVE.He is not even close to someone that was beaten ,jailed, and killed,for his beliefs.Signing the civil rights legislation was a heroic gesture on the part of the democratic party and LBJ,the democratic party lost the south since then.And this the thank you they get from the Obama supporter in the AA community.

African Americans should stop, think, and look at Hillary Clinton's record on civil rights and they will see all she has done just as former President Bill Clinton has done. Both Clintons has always fighted for equal rights and have been very strong on the civil rights issue. The media is playing politics with the race card in my opinion and it's wrong. I could be wrong but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some racism and discrimination going on against Hillary because of the fact she is a white woman running for President. You don't just vote for someone because of the color of their skin or their gender you vote for the person who you think has the know how to do the best job at being President of the United States.
When I vote I take it serious on who I feel would do the best job, race and gender should have nothing to do with it because we are all equal in the eyes of God. Instead we should focus on the wonderful message of Dr. Martin Luther King which was to bring everyone together and treating everyone equal. If more people would look close at Dr. King's dream, the things he said, and the things he did, life would be so much better and this country wouldn't be divided the way it is in general. Dr. King was a wonderful man, we can still make the dream happen today by treating everyone with respect no matter what their race or gender is.

Oh and one more thing…just look at this headline…"Troubling News In Clinton's Win." Come on CNN…we realize who you want to win, just as we realize who Edwards wants to win. He's looking for a job (i.e., Vice President), and CNN is looking for viewers. The media bias is becoming so obvious…it is going to backfire on one candidate…and we know who that is. So does he. Go Hill.

Here we go again…spinning hillary's win into "good news" for Obama. Can't we stop now? She won 2/3 primaries and Obama's camp is still trying to spin it in his favor. My gosh…can't we just let the numbers speak for themselves for once!?!?!? Go Hillary. Ignore the spin and keep on plugging. The media wants Obama to win, the public wants you.

Obama is the one who started the race crap.. He compared himself to MLK and only responded to Clinton's correct statement when he was heading to black SC. the Comment was made way before the New Hampshire vote, but you never heard a peep until they were getting closer to SC. Please. who started it??? of course he did, don't be a fool. Why in the world did he compare himself to MLK?? And why in the world is he now speaking with an accent similar to MLK and other black activists when two weeks ago, he was speaking with that Harvard Educated swaggar??? Oh please, don't be so easily duped. Why are people so naive???

Even if Barak Obama wasn't such a fascinating and refreshing voice in American politics, and an inspiring public servant such as this country hasn't seen in several generations, the bottom line for me would still be this: can we not do better than accept nearly three decades of nothing but Bushes and Clintons in the White House?

Who ever the Democratic nominee is, the GOP are going to try to eat them alive. They want to retain the power. What more can they say about HRC and what will they find to say about Obama. He has had CNN, MSNBC and ABC kissing his butt since 2004. As a citizen of IL I can honestly say, he has not done a darn thing for us. We are losing jobs, they are layoff's in county, city government and major manufacturing here. Our governor, house and senate are suing each other. We have no budget, local governments are borrowing money to stay afloat, etc. Yet, since he has been in office, he has been running for President with help our other senator, Durbin. While he was campaigning in NV and Durbin was making calls in his campaign office here, our state is losing federal highway dollars.
The media will not vet him because they are afraid of being called racist and they are inspired by his talk. I'm inspired by Senator Stevens of Alaska who brings home the bacon. He did nothing major here, nor has he done anything in the US Senate for white, black or purple people in IL.
Hold your applauds until after the federal trial of one of his biggest supporters starts next month. Then you guys will find out who the real Obama is. Just another Chicago politican who gives great speeches.

Anyone worth their salt can see that this election is not really about Hillary being president it is about Bill being back in the White House.

I mean really the sitting president Bush has made more minority cabinet appointments than Bill Clinton.

why are we still debating on this race/ gender issue. That is what the media wants, it is not good rating if we just have issues discuss that is why they feed on all the negetave aspect of these primaries. Lets focus on our canidates win or loose we will have a Dem in the White house hopefully Obama .

RIMA - the actions of the Clintons in just the last 2 weeks speak clearly about how nervous they are about the real talent running for the DEMO party nomination. Both Clintons are underhanded-status quo politicians and the country doesn't need any more of what they have given so negatively over the past 14 days. Bill looks as though his eyes will pop out of their sockets when he tries to defend her campaign and supporters actions.

Plain and simple RIMA, if HIllary is running for President then Bill C. (I won't even give him the honor of calling him the former Prez. because his actions have been less than honorable during her campaign and I believe this is only the beginning of Bill's negativity) should keep a much lower profile than he does. Its obvious, Bill C. wants to win the Presidency, this truth is pushing out through his veins in his face when a reporter calls him on the truth.

I wish you the best RIMA during this election for change.

I think the Hispanic voters don't understand what Obama is saying. They just know the name Hillary in Spanish and to them that's all that matters, a name that they recognize!

This is troubling. Obama needs to get translaters to do the do from English to Spanish!
No,we understand what he is saying,trust me,but we are democrats on a democratic primary ,Obama is a empty suit,nice oratory skills but not record.Sorry the republicans didn,t have better ideas,what next Newt the best speaker ever?
And by the way we lave Bill Clinton,the big Dog(cojones grandes)

The name Obama came from his family in kenya who he never knew. I can only say there are alot of Physicians who are muslim but, I see if your family member was dying, it would not matter. I am very excited for him he was a honor graduate from Harvard Law School, how about the ones making these unkind comments, what are your education background. If he does not make President he will be fine, he came from very good stock. I am very offended for ones saying he is playing the race card, again for the trillion times, he was raised by his white family. Lets leave race out of it.

Dr. West

I was for Bill Clinton before I was not for him. I voted for him twice and he did a good job on the economy and keeping us out of war. However he did a lot of things I don't agree with, but that's water under the bridge. The point is that I don't want a third term of the Bill Clinton presidency and it looks a lot like that's what we'll get if we elect Hillary. He is already uncontrollable and this is just the primary campaign. Imagine what he'll be like as the "first laddie". I really have no strong objections to Hillary (although her corporatism scares me a lot), but the truth is I don't want Bill back in the White House. I think a lot of people feel the way I do. I know a lot of people (moderate democrats) who have informed me that they absolutely will NOT vote for Hillary. Of course they may not vote republican either,but if McCain is the nominee, maybe they will. He gets a lot of independant votes. That is truly scary because McCAin is absolutely nuts on some subjects (the war for one) and he scares the s**t out of me.

Incidentally I'm one of those over 60 women who are supposed to be so strong for Hillary. I'm a progressive business woman who is NOT in the Hillary crowd. I'm leaning toward OBama or Edwards, but I'm not totally wild about them either. Both have plusses and minuses, but neither has Bill Clinton trailing his own very large, very special baggage.

When Bush the son ran for President, you never saw his ex President father in the background. I think Obama is up against Hillary and Bill, that is unfair. I also feel that he brings hope to America. I am a white female from a small country town in Texas where sometimes prejudice is evident however, I was raised to judge one on character not race. I am very proud to say to the ones reading this that a majority of people in my family are voting for Obama. It is very sad to see all the unkind comments about religion and race.

How sad!

In a year which should be a cake-walk for Democrats, Hillary and Bill are willing to do anything to save his legacy and continue this Bush-Clinton dynasty.

If the American people were paying attention, they would have seen the smear politics used by Hillary and Bill for the sole reason of gaining what Hillary stated was the "head of government". I'm sorry, but what separates Bush from Hillary? It appears she wants to believe she can grab as much power as Bush has during the past eight years. For someone who touts her "thirty-five" years experience, one would have to point out that she has no grasp on the Constitution or at least as much as the Bush adminitration. The fact remains, our government has three coequal branches and the President is not the "head of our government" as Hillary has stated.

Winning at all costs wll split the Democratic party, leave ill feelings against the Clinton legacy, and prove the Republicans may have had a point about Bill and Hillary. What our country needs more than this distorted political gaming is someone who actually knows how to tell the truth, include independent votes, and can repair all the damage done by the Clinton and the Bush power plays.

Of course this "voting" thing is just another illusion played upon the people when it is increasingly obvious that the "faction" of party politics will prevail. Getting people to believe their votes actually count is the biggest lie ever laid out to the American people.

come on take a ride on the huckabus, huckabus, jeaaa…

cozumelkid-

Excuse me but have you not been watching the news lately? Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was a woman and last I heard from Pakistan which is the Middle East.

January 20, 2008 3:24pm

Brian-

Thank you. Computers are our friends, but only if we use them to gather the information.

It is sad to see my party divided by race or gender. However, it is just and fitting that the Clintons, who injected this poison in New Hampshire, be its first casualties. To his great credit, Obama has never made a divisive remark about women, or presented himself as the "black candidate."

By stark comparison, the Clintons have supported or disrespected the rights and sensibilities of African Americans throughout their careers depending only upon the direction of the politicial winds of the moment. (Remember the Sister Souljah moment?)

Women and men of all backgrounds should reject the unreliable civil rights support of the Clintons in favor of a genuine call for unity and equality by Obama.

To afro american experts in CNN:
Its really sad to see so called experts from afro american community giving their full unconditional support to Obama and talking negative about Ms Hillary Clinton. Its hightime that afro american people show som gratitute and thankfullness for what Clintons have done for them in the past…

Hillary can do one thing that none of the other Democratic candidates can do for sure… UNITE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Yeah! Now there's something she can add to her list of experiences, party unifier.

OBAMA '08

THIS IS TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

For, the entire members or the Committee, who for reasons unknown or that never be known to the common of the members of their party, never to say the US citizens, or to their party members:
THAT SEN. HILLARY CLINTON CAN NEVER BE AND WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN OR A WHITE PERSON, BUT BECAUSE THE VERY IDEA THAT SHE COULD BE WILL INSTATANEOUSLY COALESCE A TREMENDOUS ANTI-CLINTON AND BY THE SAME TOKEN THE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PARTY COALITION THAT WILL HAND ON A SIVER PLATE THE WHITE HOUSE TO ANY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CANDIDATE.

IN SEEING THE WAY THE CLINTON COUPLE WHOSE STRATEGY RIGHT FROM THE START HAD BEEN ENGAGING IN A COORDINATED THAT ARE LONG ON SLEAZE AND SHORT ON SUBSTANCE. THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT IS ALLOWING PEOPLE TO IMAGINE WHAT THE THIRD CLINTON TERM IN THE WHITE HOUSE COULD BE! VOTERS AND CAUCUSE-GOERS SHOULD, THROUGH WHAT IS HAPPENING THAT BILL’S CALCULATED SMEARS ARE JUST PREMONITORY TO EVERYTHING THAT WOULD FOLLOW. PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT THE COUPLE REMAIN PATHOLOGICALLY AND ANATOMICALLY FORMS A SIAMESE ENTITY. AS SUCH THEY CAN NEVER STRUTURALLY CHANGE NOR BRING THE NEEDED CHANGE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. NOMINATING HILLARY WOULD MEAN TWO PRESIDENTS FOR ONE. THE STRATEGY WHICH SEEMS AS WORKING DURING THE CAMPAIGN WILL NEVER HAVE THE LEAST CHANCE OF WORKING IN POST-ELECTION.HILLARY COMPLAINS TO BE THOROUGHLY VETTED. IF, SO IT IS JUST PEOPLE ARE DESPERATELY HAVE THE LEAST IDEA ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE IS TALKING ABOUT.

DON’T LET PEOPLE REMIND YOU IN NOVEMBER YOU WE HAD TOLD YOU SO! COMMON WISDOM MUST PREVAIL AND LET YOU DROP THE SHORT-MINDEDNESS AND MAKE GENUINE DECISION. PLEASE CHOOSE EDWARD OR OBAMA TO SUCCESSFULLY CARRY THE FLAG OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Oops, my last email mentioned Barack Obama's mother has being born in Indonesia……….I was out in left field and thinking he was brought up in Indonesia. I know his mother was from Kansas……..guess I'm getting old and my mind was not focused…..too many things running through my mind when I sent you the email. If you decide to use my comment…..please feel free to change Indonesia to Kansas…..this is so embrassing!!

Hillary is still way ahead because of the superdelegates. And even if that fails she'll find a way. I'm not saying that's necessarily a good thing I'm saying she's determined to win.

When are you people going to wake up and smell the coffee, No one knew or ever heard of Obama until 2007, how can you say he should be president, when he was not known until 2007, get a grip folks, Osama will have to pay his dues as others before running for president. Hillary 2008 all the way to the White House,
and when she win the nomination in November, and all of you who say you will not vote for her, then that mean you were not Democrats from the beginning, so go ahead, vote the Republicans back in because you are in the Closet Republicans, and want Obama to win the nomination, so you can guarantee another four years of republicans, Hillary will not let this happen, Republicans will wipe the floor with Osama if he is the nominee. There are some intelligent African Americans who can see through the race issue.

When Hillary made that statement about Pres Lyndon B. Johnson and Martin Luther King, the Obama supporters accused Hillary of insulting blacks.

I think most people believe that Hillary's comments were not racially motivated. Granted she could have said it in a better way, but nonetheless it was not racially motivated.

Yet the Obama supporters immediately turned this into a racial issue. I assume Obama found this strategy to be acceptable because he did not attempt to censure his supporters from making it a racial issue.

I was hoping for Obama to take the high road, to tell his supporters that they are wrong, that he does not see this as a negative remark on black people, that just because any criticism is heaped upon a black person does not automatically make it a racial issue. This was a fine opportunity for Obama to show that he is color blind. But he failed to rise above the occasion, to lead people to a high moral ground. A great opportunity was squandered indeed. There is a saying that in tough time, one's true color will show. I guess Obama has just shown us his true color….and it is definitely not color blind.

This could be a harbinger that Obama might just be the type of person who would invoke the racial issue every time we the citizen have any strong criticism against him. If he were elected president, it could be a daunting task to criticize him lest we be labeled racists. I'm having doubts about him.

Obama supporters are probably the same people who voted for Bush because they didn't like Kerry..look where that got us. 4 years from now we will be at this again, because the republicans are going to attack Obama, if he wins the nomination, with all his dirty laundry that the democrats aren't allowed to bring up.
For the Hillary haters…I don't have to like her, which I don't by the way. I don't want her to be my friend. She has told me in the last few months what she sees wrong with our country and how he intends to fix it. She doesn't stutter through answers and hesitate in telling me what she thinks. I might not agree with her 100% of the time, but she's telling me what she'll do. He can't even come up with an Economy Plan of his own, he has to come up with one similiar to hers. He can't be bothered to take a stand on issues enough to vote in the Senate, but he wants us as Americans to believe he'll do differently as President. Obama has the words of CHANGE, UNITE, AND HOPE.
What is he going to CHANGE? How is he going to make these CHANGES? I've checked his website and I still didn't see any specifics.
He wants to UNITE this country? How does he plan to UNITE billions of people? People have been trying for centuries and it hasn't happened. What makes him think he can. The closest we came to being UNITED was during 9/11and that only lasted for a few months and then people went on with their lives and now we unite once a year on the 9/11 anniversay. Sorry everyone, but I for one don't want to be UNITED under those circumstances again.
He's going to give us HOPE? I can HOPE for a better future all on my own, I don't need him for that.

I want experience in the White House, not a rookie.

IF CLINTON GET NOMINEE, ALOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE MOVING TO THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, WATCH AND SEE NICE MOVE DEMS HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT AND OBAMA WILL HAVE A NEXT TIME WHEN DEMS KNOW WHAT HAPPEN JAN 09 WHEN REP GET TO OFFICE GROWUP……

You go Hillary. The quicker you wim the quicker we can have McCain as [resident! McCain or RON Paul are the best for the nation and Ron is best for the UNBORN child to survive the womb from atheist/humanist evolutionist propaganda of "Pro-Choice" nonsense.

From what I've read this morning in some sparsely populated rural NV areas delegates to the county conventions were selected yesterday with as little as 5 voters per delegate. In Vegas at the strip caucuses it took 50 voters per delegate. This apparently is a system much like the electoral college devised by state party honchos to keep Vegas- the biggest city in the state - from utterly dominating the whole process. I can see how that makes sense.

But that's the exact opposite of the argument Bill Clinton made last week when he defended the vote suppression lawsuit. Sadly the only conclusion I can draw is Bill Clinton is a liar and I can no longer trust him.

Hillary had the support of the whole Nevada Democratic party apparatus. In some caucuses they outnumbered Obama operatives two to one. There's nothing unfair about that advantage, she probably worked hard to win Harry Reid's support.

From what I've read about Hillary's campaign use of underhanded, undemocratic tactics yesterday I'm very disappointed. I'm a Democratic precinct committeeman, will be 52 next Thursday. I'm no babe in the woods, I've been working my butt off for Democratic candidates for decades on my time and my dime. I'd quit before I'd engage in those kind of tactics. If this keeps up and she wins the nomination pulling that garbage she'll have find someone else to turn out votes for her in my precinct. I won't do it.

She said she found "her own voice" after NH, (btw finding her own voice at age 60? She's just now "finding herself" and learning how to present herself to voters? That's some 35 years of experience she's got going there. It sounds more like after years of trying everything under the sun she was just happy that something finally clicked in NH.) Now she wants to be my voice. I'm sorry Hillary nobody who does the things your campaign does speaks for me.

My guess is that if Obama wins the democratic nomination, McCain will crush him in the general.

Not to keep harping on this…

But I never thought the day would come when I would detest Bill Clinton. The clinton's naked hunger for power and the way they have demonstrated they they will say and do anything — including exploiting race, religion, admitted past foibles — to get there have been extremely disappointing.

Re the comment by EE about uneducated whites who vote for Clinton: would you happen to have a count of the uneducated blacks who vote for Obama ?

Where is Bloomberg?

Here's to another 4 years (at least) of Republican rule with President McCain.

Hillary , it is clear now, will be anointed the party's candidate , thanks in large part to Bill Clinton with his carefully timed 'explosive anger' episodes that served them well in spreading canards, the Clinton surrogates who, for weeks, have been playing the dirty games with known facts about Obama's past drug use and his father being a muslim. But, I guess that is what they mean when they say Hillary has a well run campaign , the famed Clinton machine

Cynicism is easy … Optimism , especially these days is not . At least not on the Democrats' side. So, unless a miracle occurs sometime between now and March , it is candidate Hillary Clinton and I, for one, will vote for Mc Cain unless, of course there is a Obama-Bloomberg independent ticket .

VOTE HILARY!!

For anyone to suggest that race has nothing to do with how people vote is naive at best. The Clintons have been the darlings of African American democrat voters for years. Obama shows up and now because they have the audacity to treat him the way any political opponent would be treated by any candiadte they're racist. Based on some of the comments I've heard African Americans say about other African Americans who support Clinton I would say we had better get our own racist attitudes toward each other fixed before we start accusing others of being racist. I don't know much about Obama but I do know that if race wasn't a factor in his support from the African American community, then based on the issues John Edwards would be getting just as much anti Clinton support as Obama does. For anyone to suggest that African Americans are not supporting him just because he's black is ridiculous. The unprecedented swing in AA suport from Clinton to Obama wasn't because all of a sudden 50% of the AA voters hashed out the issues and decided that he was the better choice. Its because he's black. From a historical standpoint I understand that support. I ubderstand some of that support based on the man. The problem is turning that pride for one of our own into dislike and hatred for people we've admired for years. In a general election this will do a diservice to Obama if he gets the nomination. He has gotten this far because he was seen as a good candidate not an African American candidate. The suggestion by some that if Clinton wins the nomination they won't vote or might vote Republican in the general election is silly and reminds me of what my Mother used to say about "cutting off your nose despite your face". With Clinton or Obama our community will have a seat at the table. As a president of 300 million people and not just 12 percent of the population that seat will carry the same weight whether its Clinton or Obama

I don't care who wins, just give me the candidate who will keep the election and reporting of it in English and keep the Hispanic population from becoming THE majority! Come to Nevada, travel away from the strip…we're losing the illegal immigration fight daily folks…wake up, you're not getting it! STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION NOW!

Tom Davie, you are the perfect source for Clintonista stupidity and blindness.

"Too bad the country is only 14% african american. Unless Obama wins 90% of that vote it isnt going to turn the election."

Before this past month she was winning the black vote but her other numbers were going down so the Clinton attack machine went into overdrive……..

No spin "Tom", all her oh so apologetic or FIRED surrogates did their jobs real well within the last month, they spewed lies, hate and bigoted specific remarks towards Obama to purposely DIVIDE and conquer.

When he had the nerve to speak back, the media turned it into a BS race war and the foolish WHITE clintonista liberals flocked to her as the media DISTORTED the whole story.

Smart move, as just like you say, why bother with the 14% of the population when you can use racist attacks to fool the the MAJORITY.

Part two of the "master" plan was the STATED GOAL of her campaign to make her APPEAR to be softer and gentler and along with the smears and fears it fooled the majority of woman into thinking she was really "one of them".

A simple question of "How do you do it" causes her eyes to well up and get weepy, but talking about her LYING, PERJURED, ADULTERER "husband" CHEATING on her, brought nary a hint of tears on the Tyra Banks show.

The Clinton's have made a mastery of dumbing down the electorate and you sheep with the help of the media, fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Dirty money, smears, racism from surrogates, flip flopping from one debate to another, planted questions, planted PEOPLE, playing the gender card, using Mommy and Daughter as props are all just examples of what has gone on in plain view and in reality the media has not been tough enough on her as all these would have BROUGHT ANY OTHER CANDIDATE DOWN, but not the annointed one.

ABC.

How about Hillary for president and Obama for vice-president. You then have one of each a Black and a White and then who is to complain about race.
I am sure someone would find fault with that ticket.
I do think if you don't want a country devided you get a black president and this country will divide like vinegar and oil.
i actually hate to say that but this is what i see for the future. There is no come together on Obama's part. He had Oprah come to his side and that is black through and through. Oprah you have lost this person as a viewer.
It seems that everytime something does not go the black way it is racist.
When is the racist card gonna stop and we all get all along as human beings.
I look at it this way God made us the color we are and if we don't like our color then who do you blame "GOD" ?

Potentially troubling news in Clinton tie.

If there is ANY descriptive word placed in front of "American",it negates the said value of the declaration of citizenship.You are either an"American",or you are an illegal,undeclared alien.So, to use the race card automatically puts one in danger of voluntarily of renouncing their heritage/birthright.Grow up America,and try to select a candidate on their own merits.Try to think for yourself instead of asking the media who to vote for.

Isn't this a political run for President? I'm confused, because everyone acts like there has ever been ethics in running for office. It's a dirty political game. ALL THE CANDIDATES USE DISGUSTING TACTICS!! Not a single supporter of anyone in the race should be argueing that someone else is using tactics that are unfair or support bigotry (the latter being the most ridiculous claim I've read, which only perpetuates racism).

Was anyone around when the republicans had the swift boats for "truth". When they slammed a guy who was in Vietnam (a harrowing experience) to support a man who cowered out in the Texas Air Guard? (That's if he really did serve his time in the guard) My late Father-in-law ran boats from the supply ships at sea, to bases inland. He never talked about it with his family, and only once did he open up to me about it, knowing my strong background in military history. My wife was shocked to hear him talk about it. It was an experience you would have to be a sick person to hold AGAINST a person. Now THAT is a disgusting display of political tactics.

So for all you crying foul, stop. What do you expect?

I am tired of hearing about "race" as being an issue in this campaign. If you want to know who brought "race" into this campaign……it was Barack Obama. He is mixed……like most Americans but, he chose to run as an African American. Why? To secure the voters of the African American community. His father was from Kenya and his mother Indonesia. His father left when Obama was young. His mother did not abandon Obama, she was a devoted and loving mother. She raised him to be the responsible young man that he is today. So, I ask this question. Why does he not consider himself to be Indonesian? Because of his mother, he is where he is today and a fine American.

I don't care what race or gender a person is…..what does interest me is their resume. If I go for a job, I need to provide a resume to allow the company to see if I have the necessary qualifications to fill the positon. If I'm a waitress with no education and I am seeking the position of a Marine Engineer do you think I would get the job? Do you think the company would say "let;s give her a shot." I think NOT! regardless of how nice this person may be. Wake up American, we cannot put someone in the Whitehouse if they do not have the necessary qualifications to fill the position.

I can't understand why people keep voting for Clinton. she and her husband are scum - all you have to do is look back at their records. The past 20 years have been: Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush. There are people now of drinking age (and voting age) in the US who have never known anyone other than a Bush or a Clinton as president. Time to end the dynasty, and make the Clintons and the Bushes go away for a long, long, time.

Why are some women supporting Senator Clinton based on gender? It shouldn’t be surprising. Every woman, at one point or another, has been treated like a second class citizen. Our qualifications are ignored, our character and experience belittled.

I'm voting for Senator Clinton because I believe her to be smart and capable of running our country. AND I want to see that glass ceiling shattered into millions of pieces. I want to feel society's strangulating expectations of women start to dissolve.

We raise our daughters to believe they can do or be anything. Let's prove it isn't just lip service.

Wake up people!! Hillary would not be able to get anything accomplished if she was elected president. The Republicans would not reach across the aisle to get her agenda accomplished. They can't stand her.

Another thing to think about - she and her husband would say and do anything to get elected. When she ran for the senate seat in New York the first time, she went on this "listening tour". She swore she would work to bring hundreds of thousands of jobs to Western New York - but the opposite happened. Hundreds of thousands of jobs (and NY citizens) left New York. Unfortunately, nobody noteworthy ran against her the second time around, so we got stuck with her again for another 6 years - but wait - when she was running the second time around, she was asked if she planned on running for president in 2008 and she said she wasn't even thinking that far ahead. Yet a few months after being elected, guess what - she threw her hat into the ring. Don't tell me she didn't know at the time she was running she didn't know she was going to run for president in 2008 - she knew all along. So much for her campaign promises. All lies…and if she gets the democratic nomination, the republicans are going to have a field day with her and Billy, reminding everyone of the scandalous days in the White House under their administration.

OBAMA PLAYED THE RACE CARD
Obama got the race card down, looks Black sounds White and Acts like a circus act politician.
His campaign will say anything to attack Hillary even calling a BET Black CEO a racist — why because he support Obama —

Obama big success is no success at all– he voted against the Iraq war but couldn't lead anyone to his position
So what kind of leader is that!

On civil rights Obama has no accomplishment, no success and no agenda.
No history of leadership, no personal experience, he only black on the outside
Steven Colbert is more Black than Obama and he's color blind.

Clinton is more black than obama

So how is that HRC has managed to be declared "winner" in 3 out of 4 states, and yet Obama still has more delegates than she does?

Anybody But Clinton.

Let's keep RACE out of this election cycle… all you BLACK folks better keep voting for Obama or you are abandoning your RACE!

The same thing happened in Iowa where Clinton got more delagates than John Edwards and just one less than Obama. The actual finish of Iowa had Obama and Clinton tied at 18 delagates, but all we have heard from CNN what a huge win in Iowa for Obama, and now how small a win for Clinton even if she leads nationally and this is her thrid sraight win. Obama supporters do not think for one minute that CNN likes Obbama that is not the case. They do not want a woman candidate and they do not want a Democrat candidate that can beat the Republicans in the fall. CNN you are the one that is losing. People all aroung Oklahoma are talking about how bais our favorite news services is being. What a disappointment CNN. You do not have to be for Senator Clinton. Give her some good headlines, she diserves them and be a little more honest. Try to gain back your creditbility. Which is a ) yes I said Zero. Anderson Copper. We all like you and thought you had a future as a good broadcaster. Change of veiw. You showed your Politics. You could not just report. you showed your veiws.. Now you are NOT a good broadcasters. Just one of those comical political heads on CNN team. I have cancalled my Times magazine subscription, will get my news off of PBS. I would rather watch a dog pulling a his master then CNN reporting their OPINIONS.

Senator Clinton for President of the United States. My vote for her MORE SOLID TODAY THEN WHEN I FIRST DECIDED TO VOTE FOR HER MEDIA

SENATOR CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2008

I'm thoroughly discusted with my generation and their blind support of Hillary Rodham Clinton. So many uneducated fools voting simply because of her gender.
It should be criminal and truly is traitorous to blindly allow a criminal into our White House. Read my lips, When your Hillary becomes YOUR president, you'll reap exactly what you sew.

TO CNN: WHY WASN'T THE BLOG TITLED: "TROUBLE FOR OBAMA IN NEVADA; EVEN THOUGH HE GOT THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE CULINARY UNION, HE STILL LOST WITHIN THE UNION BY A VERY WIDE MARGIN!"

WHEN WILL EVERYONE REALIZE THAT BARRY ISN'T A VIABLE CANDIDATE?!

TO AFRICAN AMERICANS: DO YOU WANT BARRY IN THE WHITE HOUSE? HE IS SOUNDING MORE AND MORE LIKE A REAGAN REPUBLICAN THAN A DEMOCRAT FOR THE MASSES!!!

OBAMA PRAISED REAGAN!!!!!!! WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?!

EVERYONE HAD BETTER JUMP OFF OF HIS BANDWAGON BECAUSE SUPER TUESDAY WILL TELL IT ALL!!

P.S. CNN….I'VE BEEN AN AVID WATCHER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS….LET'S TRY TO BE A LITTLE LESS BIASED.

Clinton thinks she can negotiate with our enemies?
They (Islamic Terrorists) designed 9/11/01 under her husband's rule.
THEN:
Last month they murdered Bhutto!
You REALLY think Hillary can solve our strained international relations? What a JOKE! She'd make us a target, just as Bush has.
Get serious!
She wouldn't be able to turn our failing economy around either! She has NO idea what she's doing in that realm.
Save America:
Check out Mitt Romney and support him!

No more Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton!

One issue that is getting a lot of attention is Florida Democrats being punished for changing their primary date to a sooner date.
This might come back as unwelcome blow-back. Regardless of the reasoning behind the block, Americans do not like anything that resembles disenfranchisement.

Americans die and have died so that all Americans would have the freedom & right to vote and have their voice heard. It might be that many in the party and on the cusp/Independants will say, you "the party" disinfranchised Americans in certain primaries, so what makes you think you will get my vote in the general election, Some might just return the love.

This is not about race or gender it is about enacting the democratic agenda. Obama does not lay sole claim to that agenda. Hillary is in a far better position to deliver on it. Period. Obama's rhetoric does not match the reality. He was a two year US Senator who won because he was running against Alan Keyes. As inspiring as his story is, he has a tremendous sense of entitlement that people (MSM, et al) are encouraging on very little evidence. This is politics, and yes we need a skilled, seasoned politician. Contrary to what is being said about his lofty goals and integrity, Obama is indeed a politician (pandering comments about Reagan, Rezko association and give back of a additional $40,000 in contributions, support from Exelon, etc.) but he is a young and inexperienced one. We don't need a neophyte either in the White House or on the campaign trail. His time will come.

Clintons-Obama-Clintons-Obama whatsoever. Democratic race resembles 2000 presidential elections. No transparency in the process. Lots of role playing rather than sincerity. Huge polarization within the same party. Backstabbings, taking legal actions, dirty tricks. This is what you offer after 8 years of GWBush!! Shame on you all!

I wonder if what was talked about during that Obama/Bloomberg lunch was Bloomberg running if Obama doesn't get nominated. Bloomberg would have a better shot w/o Obama. I would also settle for a Bloomberg-Obama ticket. Just no more Hillary.

And if Hillary is nominated, but no Bloomberg, hopefully McCain wins. At least fought for our country and believes in what he says, even though I don't support his more conservative positions.

"Has anyone wondered why a lot of Republicans are pushing for Obama?? Think about it!!"

LET ME HELP YOU UNDERSTAND. Republicans are "pushing for Obama" because of their disgust with the Clintons and their fatique of the partisan atmosphere in Washington, not because of any strategic advantage in the general election an Obama candidacy might present. No one will energize the Republican base to get out the vote like a Hillary candidacy. Obama just will not solicite a huge Republican turnout like Hillary will. THINK ABOUT THAT!

Hillary Supporter - how ignorant. Voting for someone because of their sex is just as prejudiced as saying I won't vote for Obama because he is black.

Shame on you and your kind. This is not how a leader should be picked for our country. If it is then we get what we deserve.

REAL credentials should count, not fabricated ones, not ones we want to see.
Are you that ignorant not to check into someone who you support and align yourself with?

Put her bumper sticker on your car, if she wins, in 5 years everyone will egg it for you just like she will put egg all over this country.

I have nothing against having a woman being elected president, but, how can anyone in their right mind expect a woman to negotiate with middle eastern Islamic countries where respect for women is less than respect for cattle.

If CNN doesn't pursue a rift between Clinton and Obama,there's nothing to report about. The red vs blue is moot. Republicans aren't viable anymore and therefore don't bring in advertising dollars. Follow the money people.

theo

I Barack Obama takes south Carolina, it is all over for Hillary Clinton.

OBAMA TYPE OF REASONING.IF OBAMA DOESN'T WIN SC WITH 85 PERCENT AA VOTES WHERE IS HE GOING TO GET HIS VOTES?IT WILL BE ALL OVER FOR THE PRETENDER!!!

Hellooooo!

This is a campaign! You campaign and point out the other candidates differences. If they make an error in judgement such as Obama (praising Ronald Regan and admitting being disorganized) you bring that into the discussion. Just like Obama keeps bringing his opposition to the war into the campaign. Let's be honest, this one in my opinion is weak, because there was a higher percentage of people for the war than against it when it started. Hindesight is beautiful, isn't it? I wish I had a crystal ball. I wonder what he would accually have voted if he'd had the resposibility at the time to do so. But, it's a difference of opinion for these two candidates and should be discussed.
Why isn't the media bringing up Obama's teenage drug use? I think this is an important issue. You can be sure the republicans are going to bring it up if he wins the nomination. It will not be off-limit then. It will be the TOP STORY.
Why doesn't his church allow whites? Another TOP STORY.
Why doesn't Obama bring up Clinton's experience? Could it be he doesn't have anything to compare with hers. He voted almost all the time same as Clinton. When he took the time to vote!

I did my research and printed out all the information (Experience and voting record) on both cancidates. Keep in mind that Obama has only been a Senator since 2004 and Clinton since 2001. I have 53 pages on Clinton and 15 on Obama. What I noticed most is that he didn't vote much. I counted and out of 383 opportunities to vote, he didn't vote 113 times. Why didn't he vote so many times? Why didn't he take a stand on these issues. Clinton on the other hand, out of 597, didn't vote 75 times. That is in 7 years, compared to Obamas 3 year. Did he not want to offend anyone or did he just not know what position to take on the issue. These are questions that left me wondering, How is he going to make decsions as President if he can't make them in the Senate?

Thanks, but no thanks!

Hillary is spreading falsehoods in black church speeches claiming that she was for the civil rights movement when in fact she was against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

GOOGLE: 'Hillary Against Civil Rights Act'…..Learn the Facts…..Then tell her to stop lying in black churches about her past !!!

Hillary won today, but it is "troubling" for her??
CNN, I read your blogs but when I watch the news, I will watch MSNBC. They are MUCH more fair in their reporting than you are, with your VERY obvious slant toward Obama.
He won't get the nomination, and we the VOTERS will make sure of that.
CNN, years ago, you were very good. You shouldbe ashamed of your bias that's clearly showing to anyone with intelligence!
GO HILLARY!!

Strange how Obama keeps getting hurt by negative press just before elections and caucasus. Strange how it seems to starts with one or other of the Clintons. Bet we'll never know who put that nasty Spanish language ad on. Maybe if Obama only had one Clinton to run against the the polls wouldn't be so wrong.

The only way that, Hillary Clinton can beat McCain is with Obama as her running mate. I cringe at what a debate between her and McCain would look like.

What does she have on McCain: Experience? Not even close.
Military experience? None
Working in a non- partisan way, reaching across the isle? He has a way stronger record for that, to the extent that many to his right frown heavily. And we all know that nothing big gets done in Washington if you cannot or refuse to negotiate.

Appeal to the Independent vote? not a chance without Obama.

A sense of Honor, while I respect her for her work and putting up with much of what was tossed her way. It is difficult for anyone to match McCain in this department.

The ill advised war? This is an area that she can win at, Americans are not stupid, we know that the Iraqi government is milking us, why pay for the cow?

He would have to campaign on a solid exit strategy, that requires the Iraqi government to take real control of their country. A strategy that has us re-focus on the war on terrorism. The war on Osama and his organization. And that means Afghanistan coupled with painful leverage to Pakistan to git-er-done.

This could get ugly.

Obama, should go Independent, if Hillary wins and does not offer him the VP position. Or maybe McCain should offer it to him! Hey mix it up, that works

This headline should read, "Potentially troubling news in CNN's election coverage."

Why does CNN insist on continuing to pursue a highly negative tone in regards to Clinton's campaign? She won, didn't she? It was a clear win, right? Why is there potentially troubling news? Because she may not win SC but IS likely to win many more states than Obama?

I'm sorry but my own fellow Americans are turning me off to Barak Obama. What I feel like we're seeing is reverse discrimination. African Americans are turning out to support a candidate BECAUSE of his race. Don't be fooled. This is not about who has the best track record of helping people, because if it were, Hillary would have no problem easily besting Obama in states with high African American populations.

This is a strategy that is going to backfire, people. I have seen it in my own state of New Hampshire during our primary. The young, inexperienced people are turning out to vote for someone they consider would be "cool" to put in the White House, simply to break the "mold" or whatnot and send some type of message about diversity, not security, prosperity or credibility. Voting is largely among racial lines, too. The only thing that is doing, at least in my opinion, is driving the opposition out in record numbers to support the only viable alternative: Hillary Clinton.

So go ahead, people! Continue to vote along racial lines. Continue to make uninformed decisions based on your own lack of experience due to your very young age. And please, continue to be very vocal about it. You have, and will continue to, drive more support into Hillary's corner. I saw this happen in New Hampshire. I assume this is what happened in other states as well.

No candidate can become president simply by pandering to a minority group. This government is representative of America, not a minority group. Our country is founded on the principle of "majority rules" and have no illusions about it, the majority will rule.

Hillary/Edwards '08! Experience we can count on to get things done!

Did anyone ever think of what the BIGGER picture is?
Do you want to set Senator Obama up for failure and have the Republican Part masacre him? It amazes me that supporters aren't looking at the Bigger picture, send an inexperience candidate to the trenches of war that will defeat the civil rights movement. This could weigh heavily on future AA candidates and how they will be looked upon as legitimate presidential candidates.
Very sad indeed. As a woman of colour, I would not like to send someone to represent me knowing that he or she will fail, I am smarter than that and I am even wiser to know that my vote will be solely based on research and experience.
I do want to ask all supporters who they think will better end the "colour on colour" violence that seems to have taken a back seat to all this hooplah. I feel EDUCATION is way more important and if anyone wants to CHANGE something, change the people responsible for letting our classrooms become battlegrounds for death and confusion amoungst our youth.
So much anger is evident by inexperiance supporters that the main issues are tainted with self centered ignorance and negative and meaningless rheteric.
Why can't we all get along, was Rodney King's and should remain with him. It's not who looks the best, says the most eliquently, personlizes better than others, attacks the issues the best, it's who will delivers and listen to our needs the best and delivers on that PERIOD. And don't forget that "Life Experience" counts bigtime.
I Love America
Shame on the media!!! All of you who report spins for personal gain.

CNN stop trying to make the news and stick to the true journalistic principles of just REPORTING the news…you always have to put your own spin on everything….this is not a spin room…you are supposed to be only reporting !!!!

Are there any men who support Hillary Clinton or just the lunatic left wing feminist fringe over 40 white females menopause clique who think it's cool she stood by her entire marriage while her husband cheated on her and did nothing because she felt she was owed the presidency for her silence? Can someone please tell me one - just one, accomplishment of this woman during her time in the senate or as first lady? Please, I really want to know what qualifies a women who spent eight years having tea with the first ladies of foreign countries while her husband was having meetings of substance with the leaders of those countries. Did she have any impact on US foreign policy, economic policy, or the enviromental policy when her husband was president.? What did she ever do to win the accolades of white women over forty that are so enraptured by her?? Is the only reason you are voting for her is her sex? Hell of a way to choose the leader of the free world. How about voting for a woman for president who's been governor or senator or congressman for a longer period of time and has some executive or legislative experience??? Why is Hillary Clinton better than all these other more experienced women???? Black women see thru this phony. If she cannot manager her own house how is she going to manage the White House???

Since Hillary got 51% of the vote and Barack only got 45% but recieved one more delagate, Can we expect the same kind of outcome as the 1980 Presidential Race? Get more votes but lose the race???? What happened to a Government OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE and FOR THE PEOPLE ?

yea, your candidate wants stimulants in the economy, thats like part time or temporary help. yea, thats an answer, tell me that they are not big government candidates.
your only fooling yourself.
Total change in government is the answer.
Tell me what you candidate is going to do, how he is going to do it, not just bla, bla, bla.
are any of them talking about putting trillions of Americans dollars back into their pockets or just a couple of hundred, Temporarily. thats what I thought, no thanks, bla, bla, bla.
Ron Paul, none of the other candidates even match the qualifications like Ron Paul.

It is called being childish. Give me this or else. Get me McDonalds or else I am not going to eat and starve myself.

Raydean, NY

You are absolutely right. It's about experience, race/gender shouldn't enter into this election. Unfortunely, the media has made it into a race/gender election. What I don't like about what I'm reading is Clinton supporters are in favor of voting for Obama if he wins the nomination, but Obama supporters are threating to vote republican if Clinton wins the nomination.

What are you thinking?

Which Hillary are you people supporting…she has taken every position possible,,,,,you people amaze me….if you want the Republicans to win in November….keep going….the Republicans are disjointed….and other than a Hillary nomination….nothing will pull them together…if you are foolish enough to give her the nod….many Dems (who did not vote for her), all the Republicans….and more than half of the unaffiliated will vote against her…"ANYONE BUT HILLARY 2008″

Mr Mooney it sounds like you are trying to say blacks in this country don't care what a candidate's qualifications, background, honesty, integrity or anything else matters because all blacks will stick together and vote skin color. Maybe the media has the same problem, you know politically correct, but it's ok to bash women and Mormons.

The PEOPLE have spoken!!!

Has anyone wondered why a lot of Republicans are pushing for Obama?? Think about it!!

I watched the caucus process in Nevada. Thank God , the rest of the nation is a private process. I can see how people could be intimidated. The voting process should be improved. The caucus process is not an improvement. It is an amusement. Lets just stick to the little booth with a curtain and absoluletly no outside pressure. There are a lot of people who are easily pressured to do things they might not have done without peer pressure. Thus the term "peer pressure."
The little booth is the best, then we can scream it was rigged, demand a recount and cloud the process, and in the end, nothing changes. One thing we have learned in the process is no more punch cards, with hanging chads. Can an election be fixed? Yes! When a vote is confusing, Ex: Butterfly ballot, when a no vote is really a yes vote, things like that. The age of computers, where Identity theft is a real threat,, if someone wants to steal your vote they sure can. It is scary, but we cannot let the threats of hackers, terrorist etc. take away our rights to freedom. The right to vote is the fundamental right of our country. WE must exercise that right. If you disagree with me or not. PLEASE VOTE People who make stupid comments, like "I'll move if so and so wins," who will cut off their noses to spite their faces, those kinds of comments make me very sad

Bill and Hillary should move to Mexico with all of their foster children.This woman couldn't unite two dogs in heat.

I forgot to say: NEWS FLASH: Hillary Clinton is up 55 Delegates and "Super Delegates" so far. If you all did your research, you would already know that! I just wanted to share some FACTS.

Carol: The facts are the facts: Hillary Clinton won Upstate New York, and upstate New York is a Republican part of New York. Hillary won there, she can win other places as well. Maurice: You must not be watching the primaries and caucuses. Hillary won New Hampshire, and Hillary just won Nevada. Don't underestimate Hillary Clinton. Again, she has proven people wrong time and time and time again. Hillary Clinton CAN win the General Election.

Obama for President.

We do not owe Hillary anything!

Shame on the Obama campaign… you are an Obomination to the democratic process…

GO HILLARY!!!!!! Nevada voted for you overwhelmingly…. against all the odds, media misinformation, and spin

GO HILLARY!!!

please leave race out of this………..

OHHHH….but that sells paper and increase website hits…

i am sooooooooooo sick of it….let get on to the real problems and issues of this nation……

He is

I even sent senator Clinton a message about that.

Obama and Edwards YANKED their name off the ballot , even though the party NEVER told them to. They just told them the delegates didnt count nor could they campaign there.

Hillary LEFT HER NAME on a delagateless vote, so at least to show she CARED about the Michigan voters.

Remember them Obama and Edwards?

Doesnt Obama and Edwards understand they should have just left their name there so that voters could have a SAY and SUPPORT THEM .

Obama and Edwards just LEFT TOWN .

The only thing I can say about florida (where I live ) is its a VERY smart play because florida is riddled with latino's and retired people .

Obama wouldnt do well here. So lets just make it so it DOESNT COUNT.

gee . Thanks a lot.

Obama is a hypocrit!!!

He claims to be a big "champion" of voters rights yet his campaign states that the vote in Michigan and Florida doesnt matter to them.

Hes ignoring over A MILLION VOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He talks a big game but NEVER backs it up with action

Seems race is no longer an issue…if some posters on an internet forum say it, especially when it's a basically unprovable and unfalsifiable claim, well then I guess it has to be true, doesn't it?

The converse of this article is that Obama is bleeding white votes into Hillary's camp big time. Maybe he wins SC but how will the media spin that? Will it be about blacks protecting their own or a broad, diverse coalition or a desperation win? We'll see how the corporate kingmakers try to make their footprint on the next primary.

You guys havent seen ANYTHING YET.

The Obama campaign has sunk to a new low.

Clinton got 7300 state delegates and Obama 5600 .

But SOMEHOW ,because its a caucus and not a primary, not everyones VOTE COUNTS THE SAME.

The guy LOST by 6% , and got FAR LESS state delegates, but is CLAIMING he got more actual national caucus delegates so he 'WON' .

The democratic party officials are saying nobody has got ANY delegates yet. The democratic national party officials have officially acknoledged that Hillary Clinton WON , but dont know how many delegates are going to be alloted until April.

Obama REFUSES to give a defeat speech. Not even to ADMIT Hillary won the popular vote.

We all KNOW all this tapdancing in each state will produce the same amount of delegates for each candidate, with one or the other getting an EXTRA one.

Whoopie.

Obama is supposed to be such a 'nice guy' and a UNITER and everything but this is just the latest SORE LOSER stunt.

Even EDWARDS told the guy do denounce the ridiculously RACIST spanish ads, and he REFUSED. How can you REFUSE when u just PROMISED to put the racist crap aside????

We are starting to see the REAL OBAMA arent we ?

Its all fun and games when he was WINNING in Iowa, not so much when he LOSES in NH, a 40% independant state, and in nevada where he scored the biggest union in the state.

Did i MENTION that Latio's voted AGAINST HIM 3-1 .

His campaign is in trouble. This is why he sunk so low to not even congratulate Clinton on the popular vote win. That is LOW.

There is going to be an all out assult on the polls and tapdanced media in one final push to make it seem like Obama can win on super tuesday.

Then the REAL vote will come out, and Clinton will win of course. The SPIN DOCTORS and media cannot control the ACTUAL VOTE.

I fail to understand all of this Clinton vs Obama as neither can get in the Whitehouse without the other. In between the racist and sexist mental practice, try contacting the real world.

Hillary won in Navada but it seem she is still ignoring White people so how do you fit her into a RACE war between Blacks and Whites where she is always with only Dark skin people is beyond me! She acts like the only votes she wants is from Black people. What gives, will they not allow her into White churches or White majority unions. Will a loss in South Carolina and New York (and in Bill's Black neighborhood )help her pay attention to she needs White votes and to be seen with White people after all they vote to.

Oh,it was all of Europe that named Obama the Black American JFK which I am sure that Obama likes better(as owed more respect) than "a Black Bill Clinton". Which would you White people rather be identified with Bill or Jack . The one who was empeached or the one who was not?

Amazing … I've been perusing the comments on several of the articles on the CNN site and it seems to me that the majority of posters in Texas are for Obama! Yahooo yippee ai aii!

The thing about Texans is that we know when we smell cow dung! If something smells like dung and looks like dung it must be dung …. those dirty tricks the political machine plays ARE dung!

Obama '08 all the way!!!!

Well, congratulations for Clinton part 2 supporters. Hillary won. Something that I have to say that bothers me is that so many people have stated flat out that they were voting for her because she is a woman. Just read Gloria Steinem's explanation for her advocacy of Clinton. Yet, if Obama or any supporters make any mention of his race being a criteria for their voting, it becomes the "Race Card." Then, they are all villified, even though Hillary plays a "Gender Card." No one should vote for someone based on their race or gender, but it is apparent from some of the comments here that it is the reason. I guess Hillary being the nominee will completely liberate all women from the male patriachy and thus an African American would have to wait their turn years later.

So, while I want Obama to win the nomination, it will be fine if Hillary wins. I sincerely hope that all genders will be equal, since sexism is such as debilitating issue. Maybe after Hillary's presidential terms, then racism can be addressed too. And please do not tell me that some of her support and advocacy doesn't come from her gender. (Will this linguish in Moderation?)

How quickly America forgets that the Clinton Administration had more scandal, than almost any other President of record. Most Number of convictions and guilty pleas from friends and Assc. Most illegal campaign contributions. the First, First Lady to come under criminal investigation. Hillary even "Could not remember" 250 times while testifying before Congress. Oh this is who I want in Office

DELEGATE COUNT:

OBAMA-38
CLINTON-36

The primiaries and caucuses are about delegates and that's what Obama is wining. In Nevada, Obama got 13 delegates to Clintons 12, not exactly a victory for Hillaray but whatever. Even if she does win the nomination, she will NEVER win the general election

I Barack Obama takes south Carolina, it is all over for Hillary Clinton.

Upstate NY is not typical of the rest of the country.

A vote for Hillary is a vote to lose the general election. Pure and simple.

Any Questions? Hillary Clinton wins again! That’s what the headline should say,
OK media you have our attention, NOW start reporting the facts, The people has spoken again.

And please look at the slogan, Time for a change, Whose name was on the Ballot in Michigan? Several candidates went with the GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM is that a change? And remove their names form the ballot, Then someone sued to stop the elections get real…
Talk to the people of Michigan, They did not think “they” the candidates that was missing from the ballot in Michigan, that State was importance, That their voice was not strong enough, So if the candidates did not think that economy is need for a change and unemployment was not an issue and that shipping jobs out of the USA and health care is not an issued in Michigan and giving the rich major tax breaks and the cost of fuel and allowing the rich to get richer and cut off all the Federal support money to the State, I say to the Candidates, Yes it is time for a change MOVE out of the United States of America and don’t come back.. Thank you!

JJ, you obviously do not have a clue what you are talking about. Please don't make unsubstantiated comments you obviously cannot even comprehend. You need to check your facts before your speak.

Clinton won the LATINO VOTE by a huge 3-1 margain.

This is the key right here folks.

Obama USED to be able to get the white vote, but not after all this racial crap.

He is backing himself into a black only corner.

His campaign managers have screwed him over by 'allowing' racial overtones they thought would HELP him.

What keeps me from being interested in Obama is that he is half Caucasian and seems to have discarded his heritage from his mother.

If we are not supposed to deal with the race issue, then why does Obama act like he is totally African-American?

He is an American first, from an African father and a Kansan mother. That is all that needs to be said about race!

Like the poster stated last week this election will be decided by the Latino Vote.
Adios Obama!

GO HILLARY!!! Anyone who talks badly about her is a brainwashed fool that cannot think for themselves and research for themselves all her outstanding accomplishments for this country. When you research, you are to read non biased facts, not spin of some media, some party, some candidate or their supporter. Ever wonder why the Republicans make such a big deal about the Clintons??? Because they make them look bad. Because they cleaned up the last deficit mess after Reagan/Bush Sr., and now with HILLARY they are afraid she will clean up the MESS of BUSH JR… Realize you only attack the one that makes you look bad and makes people leave your party. GO HILLARY, GO BILL, GO CLINTONS!!! YEAH HILLARY, you are my girl. I hope to soon hear "And now for the address from our new President, the first woman President, President HILLARY CLINTON…" WOOOO WOOOO WOOOO- Hill '08

It cracks me up to read comments by people who say Hillary Clinton will loose the General Election, that she will not pick up GOP votes. May I remind all of you, Hillary Clinton won most of the counties in upstate New York, very republican area of New York State. If you look at the record, Hillary Clinton is more MODERATE than Barack Obama. Just look at the records, its clear as day. I am a moderate Democrat, if Obama gets the nomination, I will vote Republican for the first time in my life. People always underestimate Hillary Clinton, and time and time again she proves all of you wrong. My vote goes to the clear WINNER running, and that is Hillary Clinton! Go Hillary!!

All I have to say is this: GO HILLARY!! Onward to Victory!!

The second worst thing for the American people is Bill Clinton getting his foot and mouth back into the White House.

The first worst thing for the American people is to vote Hillary R. Clinton into the White House because she is not a unifier, and she'll never beat a Republican in NOV, not even an independent like Bloomberg.

The very worst thing for the American people is to NOT vote in every primary from now until November, 2008. Your vote matters citizens of this great country and your vote for real change is what's needed RIGHT NOW to keep this country moving toward unity and healing. The Clinton's are plain and simple dangerous to our Country. The world is waiting for the American people to vote with their hearts and to let go of supporting the status quo.

Thank you voters across America!

If Obama loses the nomination he should reject Hiliay and run as an Indpent with Bloomberg

CNN why didn't you write something positive about Hillary Clinton even though I support Obama? Weird

Conquer and Divide: This could hurt both candidates because the African American can go out and vote in numbers for Obama based on issues but you would probably write later like you did on Lou Dobbs about African American are voting for Obama b/c he's black after speaking with two African American in South Carolina. I was hurt when I saw that.

If Obama wins SC then the white Americans will eventually turn against Obama. So it a losing battle for all Democratics. Look at Iowan they didn't look at color they looked at the person they thought who could be electible.

I'm a proud AA woman and I'm very diverse when it comes to race and I taught my child to love a person from within rather than the color of their skin. I'm looking for facts and issues. What you're doing CNN is going to cost you in the end viewers even if it isn't intentional. And what so weird after the SC debate on Monday, Soledad and Anderson Cooper they discuss races. WHY?? How is that helping this country?

FYI to you all pro-Obama-ers, its a caucus, and if you read and do some research, they dont use machines in Nevada. Please do some research before you talk and shout RECOUNT, the MACHINE IS HACKED and HILARRY IS A LIAR!!!!

And Cowgirl, delegates do matter, and have you seen the estimated delegate scorecards?! Hillary is winning by about 90 delegates… btw this delegates count are estimates!! they are probably 99.9% correct, but those delegates can change their mind when the convention comes, and Nevada convention to have their final decision is on April, not NOW…. and then there's the Democratic convention on August, they still can change their mind then too…. So it is soooo stupid for Obama to declare victory at this moment. Hillary won the caucus with more votes, that is why she claimed victory in Nevada… however the delegates count is not official, so you can't declare you win, at least not yet!! btw, dont forget the Superdelegates!! they have a tie in Nevada coz 2 superdelegates is voting for Hillary compared to 1 for Obama… and theres 5 more superdelegates still up for grabs.. But whatever… Hillarys still winning in total estimates delegates…

and just to say to those Obama supporters, stop telling us, Pro Clintons to wake up… coz we think you all are the ones that needs to wake up. Obama only talks of Change, and thats it!!! Bush did it too, and see where we are now…. And some of you are so foolish and even dare to accused Hillary in playin the "race" card while some of you Pro-Obama insults Hispanics on here… And just to make it clear, READ OR WATCH HILLARY'S SPEECH on MLK… it is nowhere near an insulting remarks against MLK… and Obama used that speech against her and that is when "race" becomes an issue….. SO WAKE UP… we Hillary supporters are wide awake since the beginning of this race towards the white house. Are YOU?

UM, Cowgirl. I hate to break it to you. Hillary is beating Obama. She has more delegates and she has way more super delegates if you know what they are??She has 203 to Obamas 148

Bob Johnson said it well, African Americans are not that stupid to think that Bill and Hillary Clinton are racist, when all they have done all their lives were to help African Americans, give us some credit,
