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, that is a poor and pitiful way for Obama to get votes by using those TRUMPED UP CHARGES THAT THE CLINTONS ARE RACIST. not even true. African Americans will come out and vote for Hillary Clinton because they do not want to waste their vote. A vote for Obama in South Carolina is a wasted vote because he cannot win. Don't waste your vote: Hence:
Clyburn will not endorse him. GO HILLARY, ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS NEED TO STOP BEING SORE LOSERS. IF OBAMA WINS IN SC BASED ON HIS MERIT…GREAT! IF HE WINS BECAUSE HE'S BLACK…THAT IS THE SADDEST THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN ON THE WEEKEND WE CELEBRATE MLK, JR.'S LIFE BECAUSE HE DENOUNCED ALL FORMS OF RACISM, AND VOTING FOR HIM JUST BECAUSE HE IS HALF AFRICAN AMERICAN, MAKES THOSE VOTERS RACIST.

CONGRATULATIONS HILLARY ON WINNING THE NEVADA CAUCAS!!!! GO HILLARY!!!

Look at Hillary's Super Delegates.. enough said!

Contrary to what John King has said, the primary process IS about delegates.
If I was Omama , I'd rather win the majority of delegates rather than the "beauty contest".

Just like their candidate that refused to concede that he had lost the caucus to his opponent,the Obama camp have a new spin on this devastating loss.Obama has no significant accomplishment in his 2,repeat 2 years in the US senate.He is nothing more than a Jesse Jackson with a Harvard degree.OBAMA IS NO MLK.so drop that ridiculous comparison.If Hillary have the same "resume" as Obama,they would have laughed her out of town.sure He got 80% of the black vote,so what does that mean? that he is a black candidate? Michelle Obama asked when will blacks wake up and vote for one of their own,If hillary have made a similar statement it will be all over for her.It is the Obama side that made the wrong calculation that getting the vast majority of black votes will get them the nomination,what they failed to see is that people hate to give you their vote just because of your race.So stop the spin and start working for those votes,or you will lose this democrat's vote even if you win the nomination.

If Hillary can be the media's whipping then why can't Obama be her whipping…oh wait…that would be racist. We would not want to have a double standard in the race; now would we?

Hillary is trouble for this counrty.. Latinos we must wake up…The Clinton's will not help us.

Obama for real change 08

Troubled American:

obama might not be obsessed with skin color but he certainly tries to use it to his benefit. He does say, I could be the first BLACK President. MLK made it possible for a BLACK MAN to run for President. Like I said, why does he have to be a BLACK AMERICAN, why not, just an AMERICAN. Do we say that someone from Germany is a GERMAN AMERICAN, or someone from Italy is AN ITALIAN AMERICAN. The only people that I know that have to have their race included before AMERICAN is BLACKS AND MEXICANS. If you are an American citizen they you are AMERICAN, not black, not mexican, not german or italian. WE all have roots from some other country but we are Americans if we are citizens. Lets start acting like Americans, not BLACK AMERICANS, MEXICAN AMERICANS or any other race. And let's vote for the most qualified. At this time that happens to be Hillary Clinton, not because she is a woman but because she is qualified. Sorry TROUBLED AMERICAN see even you have to have a word before AMERICAN…

Stop playing the race. It hurts Obama. CNN is playing into the traps and tactics of the Clintons. By energizing the black vote, the Clintons have diverted the hispanic and some white votes to Hillary.

Barack transcends race and should never be judged by the color of his skin.

Go Obama, we will always be with you no matter what. You are a trailblazer.

I saw the reporter on the media questioning Hillary and Bill for very unusual questions, they want to give them to have a hard time to answer those questions , but the opposite to Barack Obama, they ask him questions is simple and easy, looks fool around people, and try everything possible to stand and cover him, now I have hear people are talking about…

The wheels are starting to come off the Obama wagon. He has Jim Clyburn to thank for stirring up race as an issue.

IS CNN BEING PAID BY OBAMA?! TROUBLING NEWS FOR HILLARY?! LOOK ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SHE'S GONNA' WIN. LEAVE HILLARY ALONE, CNN!!!!!!

Yep.

The LOSER of the state won MORE delegates. LOL.

some 'democratic' system you got there.

It would be understandable if Hillary won by 1 or 2% .

But she won by a FULL 6% and won more than Obama and Edwards combined.

Bill was right. Some folks vote counted MORE than once.

This is why Obama got more delegates in spite of the fact he LOST.

The democratic party honesty needs to stop this nonsense. Go with PRIMARIES and just add up all the votes, and PARCEL out the delegates according to that.

Im CRACKIN up at a candidat losing by 6% and getting MORE delegates than the winner.

Aint life grand?

Anyways.

The real WINNER here is the CRUSHING defeat by Clinton in the LATINO vote.

3-1 . This is HUGE .

This means a whole pile of people can come out of the closet now and support Clinton based on their latino constiuents.

I am confident Obama will win the nomination. The man has it all, I don't think being a first lady means you have the experience to be a president, George Bush was a texas governor before becoming president, one assume he has the experience to be a president, look at the mess, a powerful country turning into a third world country, not sad? The white house needs complete clean-up of all the bushes & clintons otherwise the sadness we are hearing from american will continue and american people will contnue to suffer economically ………….ect

"He could bridge political divides"

…Barack Obama, in contrast, would be a fresh face with a new approach and no old scores to settle. His ascension would represent a clean break with the generation that has fought and re-fought the Vietnam War and the cultural upheavals that wracked the 1960s.
As a former community organizer, civil rights lawyer and state legislator, Obama is familiar with real issues people face, and he has worked to solve them on the ground. As president, he says, he would cross party lines to find solutions to the nation's most vexing problems, from health care to global warming. There is reason to believe he could do that. His inspiring personal story and his communications skills could nudge Americans of all ages, but especially the young, to give more of themselves to aid the less fortunate in their communities.

Unlike Clinton, Obama was an early opponent of the war in Iraq, because he thought it was a strategic blunder that would only hurt the United States. His credibility on that issue would position him well to end the occupation quickly while also giving him the flexibility to extend it if necessary to avoid shedding the blood of more innocent Iraqis.

Thank You Joeley Reno, Nevada January 19, 2008 9:07 pm ET

"…if he can show the American people he has a bit of humility, patience and apptitude."

I certainly don't by that argument as the Clinton's, the virtual incumbents, are not showing humility and aptitude for anything but gaining power for the Clinton Oligarchy!

However the GOP coalition that voted Ronald Reagen into office will do the same for the GOP this time.

The Clintons have certainly shown that they speak as one, act as one and think as one therefore any flaw in either of their character can be exploited as one.

We don't need a co-Presidency. The real fireworks are yet to come!!

Support Barack Obama '08

In his best-selling book, "Dreams From My Father" and in campaign speeches, Obama frequently describes the story of his mother, who died of cancer in 1995, as a tale of the Heartland. She's the white woman from the flatlands of Kansas and the only daughter of parents who grew up in the "dab-smack, landlocked center of the country," in towns "too small to warrant boldface on a roadmap."

Implicit in that portrayal is this message: If you have any lingering questions or doubts about the Hawaiian-born presidential candidate with a funny name, just remember that Mom hails from America's good earth. That's the log cabin story, or his version of Bill Clinton's "Man from Hope."

If the Clintons like minorities, they need to get out of the way. Otherwise, the Clintons will go down in history as the ones who prevent the most viable minority from nomination. That’s extremely unforgivable sin considering the nation’s 506 years history

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?

GO Hillary!!!!!!!! They are jealous. By the way, an american president with the name Barack Hussein OBAMA/OSAMA just doesn't sound right. This is the U.S. President election NOT IRAQ.

CNN STOP CHEERLEADING FOR OBAMA!!!

CLINTON WON!!!

CLINTON 08!!!!

January 19, 2008 10:35pm

In response to Wallace Brown:

Okay, you throw your 5 votes toward Obama, but I'll throw my 8 towards Hillary Clinton. You want to know WHY? My 17 year old son, 17 years old, said to me, " If he couldn't deal with his problems as a youth without drugs, what makes him think he can handle the problems of the whole country without them"? How's that for "out of the mouths of babes"?

15 MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS ENDORSE HILLARY. AFTER ALL SHE WAS MARRIED TO THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT.

January 19, 2008

Emily-

I couldn't have said it better.

I also believe that the Spanish ad in Nevada, put out by the Culinary Union, hurt him more than anyone else. But there will be Obama supporters on this board who will somehow find a way to blame Hilary for that ad as well. Go figure.

Never in history has one person rightfully represented three continents like Obama. He is the hope for the North America, Africa, Asia, and the peace loving people around the globe. The world is going to be so disappointed at his defeated. Anyway, it is all Bill Clinton’s fault. He robs our hope.

LISA!

LIKE HE SAID IN THE NEVADA NEWSPAPER, WHAT PART OF I DON'T SUPPORT YUCCA MOUNTAIN, DOEN'T MY OPPONENT UNDERSTAND!

Lisa youand allthe other Slash supporters are liars, but God is gonn bust you guys ten fold for playing his people against each other like Willie LYNCH!

'
Barack On for Honest campaign morals!
Barack on for Decency in the White House again!
Barack On for inclusion and openess to WE the PEOPLE!
Barack On to stop the divisiveness in theHOUSE

Barack On for more than 51 percent victory or the White House going in Republican hands again.

If you want more war, Vote for Hillary, her imp Madeleine runs her.

Barack Obama for Change WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Joeley in Reno,
Following your reasoning: if a majority of the Hispanic community votes for Hillary (as they did today in Nevada), they've made the election about race.

I DON'T GET IT, HILLARY IS NOT EVEN HISPANIC, AND YET SHE GOT 3-1 THE HISPANIC VOTE IN NEVADA. WHY THEN ARE WE EXPECTING THAT A MAJORITY OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE GOES TO OBAMA???

why, why, why…must there always be an issue of RACE???? Why can't people vote for the person, the experience, the issues? This is another reason why Obama will divide this country, he is so polarizing! It is so sickening.

US BORDER PATROL HIRING, USE YOUR TIME WISELY.

I'm African-American and I don't support Obama because of his race but because I agree with his views more than I do Hillary's. Additionally, I don't care for Hillary's style of campaigning and the fact that she seems to believe that she's entitled to be the next President as if it's some legacy that's owed to her.

CNN You need to get that Bennet {Mr Ann Coulter} off now. what a joke

I am voting for hillary , she will win , she is the only hope we have to turn around the economic situation

Emily I think you have the wrong candidate when you say manipulation.

Obama doesn't have to stoop so low to get votes, everybody loves Obama except the femenist who want a Supreme court judge.

He's not trying to win back a country, the Clintons are, and if they can't have all of America united, they think they will take it devided. I will go Independent after this election anyway because the democratic Leadership should have been stopped the Clintons three states ago when they first got wind of Bill Kid comment that was code for Boy in IOWA. Hill's botts wanted him to stop interferring in the campaign. It was in a notably all white state. They wanted Change and they rewarded Edwards because he was the other Change candidate.

Hillary has stolen our sloganswe have them date in our blogs, now she's ready for change, what about the 35 years, and he record in the WH?
It was bought up in the debate in Philadelphia and she said, they would be out in Jan 08. This wonderful record still sealed and to hear her tell it, it's worth running on.

Well where's the beef, back at ya!
Obama's dates back 20 Years of serving the people from the ground up.
Real Deal! Grassroots candidate for ALL the American People.

IF CLINTON GET NOMINEE, ALOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE MOVING TO THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, WATCH AND SEE..

As I watch MSNBC I can't help but wonder how sorry CNN will be After the elections are over that they lost so many faithful veiwers because of the racist coverage.

To all the republicans on here get a life to all others lets not let cnn, msnbc, fox, do this to us again we must unite we dem have always supported each other no matter what race what is a matter with us if we don,t stick together will be in Iran I lost one family member in this war as mothers sisters brothers are we going to let them pull us apart it's what they want I still have not made up my mind but I will not let the media stop me from voting for a dem no matter who wins Here is one thing hillary did she stood by Bill so we could keep him in the white house and I think obama will be another great leader. the problem is there both really great people

January 19, 2008 10:03 pm

This will probably be in "awaiting moderation" forever.

Clinton:
Political Experience: Us Senator, New York (2001-Present)
Committee Asignments: Armed Services, Environment and Public Works, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Special Committee on Aging
Other Experiene: Former faculty member at the university of Arkansas Law School; former staff attorney for the Childre's Defense Fund; House Judiciary Committe staff during Nixon impeachment; appointed to the united states Legal Services Corporation-President Carter; led the American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession
Board Servide: Children's Defense Fund; the Child Care Action Campain; Children's Television Workshop

Voting Record: Out of 597 votes has had NV(No vote) 75 times

Obama:
Political Experience: US Senate, Ilinois (2005-Present)
Committee Assignments: Environment and public works, foreign relations veteran affairs
Ilinois State senator (1996-2004)
Community organizer for church-based group in chicago; teacher at University of Chicago Law School

Voting Record: Out of 383 votes has had NV (No vote) 113 times

So, in less than 2 years in the Senate he has NOT voted 113 times.
In 7 years Clinton has NOT voted 75 times.

It's easy to say "I oppose" or "I'm for" something, but have the guts to vote one way or another.

He's all for helping these young adults to get a college education, but he couldn't even be bothered to vote for YEA or NAY when the bill was first introduced in July. He voted NV. Heck I could do that.

Any more experience or voting information let me know, I have it all in front of me…As a voter I don't rely on pretty speeches and the media. I'm my own investigator.

Barack Obama would never allow himself to be VP to Hillary/

Bills the VP.

Barack's light would never shine.

I'll go Huckabee and let them change the Supreme court. Sounds great to me.

To GETACLUE;

call me CLARENCE!

I am AA, but not just AA, I am also Native American. Watch how the stink starts when they go for the Native American vote. How will they play that divisive tactic?

Listen, it wasn't his color, it was the American Patriotic Spirit pouring ut for his fellow democratic collegue, John Kerry. It was the tear that shed in yearning for a better day in America, after all the Bush It We the People have endured over the last twenty years of losing savings, homes, retirement, and adding 10 million more people to the poverty roles since Bush.

But most importeantly, I saw a man, a black man that loved the white man as much as the black man, because he is of them both, a unigying voice of Change that inspires WE the People to do better.
Now does that sound like he would use race as the first black candidate running on unity.
I'll vote for Huckabee, because I'm Christian and AA. 70% AA in ARK voted for him.
He at least shares in my religious values. To love honor and obey.
Yes, I'm right to life, and if it wasn't so tough for us(2007 disparity reports) there wouldn't be so many of ur black babies at risk. For we want strong children, and will not raise them in starvation and slow suffering of diseases from unaffordable healthcare.

I want change in DC, honesty and decency again. Michelle Obama would never stand with a man with morals the Clintons are insinuating.
They have a good strong loveing marriage. So what they are black, what other color could he have become, with an African pure blood. It took years for us to have a man in our race we can be proud of that isn't being paraded on tv in handcuffs. My God,it's truly a miracle in this country to me, that he's made it this far.

My guess is his White grandparents loved him and raised him to see others on both sides and he's like that folks, no dirt.

Wo gains from it. Follow the voters.

When are the voters going to wake up? Obama is not a black man. His skin may be black but his life, his education, and most important, his bank roll are very much a part of the white aristocracy. Get off the race card. What does Obama really know about being black? How many gettos has he lived in during his life time? How many senselessly slain black sons and daughters has he buried? He is pretending to walk in Black America's shoes. He knows nothing of the racial divide that continues to plauge this nation.

Whether you like it or not, Hillary lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for eight years. She learned more than a little about governing a nation during that time. Those of you who despise her because you don't want Bill running the country once again are total fools. Leave their marriage out of it.

If we truely want change in '08, let's not hand the White House to the Republicans again in '08. Carl Rove is having a field day watching all this infighting among the Democrats. Rove and his neocons are scared silly that they will say goodbye to the White House for sixteen years if Hillary and Obama would settle their differences. Obama, do the right thing for the nation. Get out of Hillary's way entirely or join her and offer to serve as her VP. The White House will be yours in eight years. The cost of your impatience is immeasurable, and sadly, the young voters, of all colors, who you are deceiving are the ones who will pay the highest price.

Go Hillary.

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 himself was fine with this attack (on Hillary) because he did not stop his supporters from making it a racial issue.

I was hoping for him 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…but I did not see it.

So 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.

I have faith in the American electorate that they will see through the Clinton sham and place a person in the White House that is just not "in it to win it" at any cost, but who actually has a deep and abiding concern for what is now going on within the confines of our borders as well as how we're perceived on the world stage. Someone who passionatley cares what happens to our country and is not just shoring up their own legacy on a purely selfish basis!!!

Once, this country was looked upn as a beacon of hope and a land where anyone could come and fulfill their dreams with hard work and determination. We've now become a nation that other countries despise and ridicule. We've been made to look perfectly ridiculous and hypocrital by the last two administrations ( Bush and Clinton) and I see no reason where this will change over time should Hillary (horror of horrors) become the Democratic nominee.

It's past time to turn the page, move forward and vote for a nominee who will delve throug the mistakes and missteps of the past and come in with new and fresh ideas for all of our futures. I see that in candidate Obama. From this point, until the Democratic convention, I will be the voice of reason, in my own small corner of the world, to promote Senator Obama to family friends, co-workers, strangers…anyone who has an open mind and heart and is willing to listen.

We simply cannot afford a polarizing figure such as Hillary to ultimately desicmate this country worse than it already has been by the Bush administration. The stakes are way too high!!!

Every time she wins, America and my Grandkids lose…………

Wake up America! If you want the same old status quo then keep voting for the Clintons… If you really want change then let's give Obama a chance… Another Clinton White House will only divide the country even more than it already is…

GO OBAMA 08 YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE CAN KEEP ON DONT LOOSE HOPE IT IS NOT OVER NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA TRY TO MAKE YOU THINK . REMEMBER THEY ARE LESS CREDICAL OF HILLARY SINCE SHE CRIED HER WAY TO VICTORY IN NEW HAMPSHERE.

Now on to SC….hhmmmm…..now it is really going to get racially dicey…..I bet Obama will be using his down south accent too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are still three people in the race for the Democratic nomination. Sen. John Edwards is still campaigning strong although the "corporate" media would like you to think it's a 2 man ahh (1 black man, 1 woman) race. It's good for "ratings".

There is a long way to the convention and Sen. Edwards is the only candidate who can beat any of the Republican nominees.

question to MANZI Where do you get your information from, Ann Coulter?

Yes Cowgirl, delegates do matter. Hillary currently has dozens more than Obama nationally…..moreover, the big states on Feb. 5 will have more delegates up for grabs individually than all these early contests combined, especially on the Democratic side, where Michigan and Florida have had their representation to the national convention stripped off. The latest polls in California and New York were not pretty for Obama….Nevada is not going to help him at all.

River daughter you are wrong. Our campaign doesn't doi dirt. This is the first African American man to evr have a chance. Ergo even if we did vote for color which we don't because you've always had a different persuasion. If it was Richardson, Dodd, Biden, no problem. I have been in our blogs at the Obama site for over 110 months. Not once was their any mention about color or drugs and distortions. not once. In fact I call Bill the Teflon President. If that's what they want to do, they are making us never want to try for any high office as AA. After fighting side by side in evrywar and voitng faithfully for any candidate, with the HOPE one day a black american man would make us proud. Look at Bob Johnson peddling flesh. our comedians and rappers encouraged to degrade us. Now we see a man of integrity, honesty, respectful of women, raised by women, married and faithful. A leader in Illinois and uniter in governmental office. Now we see someone unlike the Jesse, and Al Sharpton, not disrespect, but like all this divisiveness is taking place now, only the killings and drug bust sell right.

This is not coming from the Obama camp and the Karl Rove friend on the Clinton campaign is just doing his job and spinning it on Obama.
Even on the one on ones and debates the man is a gentleman for God's sake. All the Respect he's gotten over the years, he really cares for this country and he will step down aftre his terms and finish raising his daughters ar maybe adding another little Obama, but this type of community love is present and we try to represent the way we feel for our country as a whole.

Where else did Bob Johnson get the okay, we need to divide the AA vote so let's mention drugs the most harmful nightmare to enter our communities and insinuate Obama was a drug dealer, along with that Sheehan fellow saying on Chris Mathews "is Obama a drug Dealer?

Disgraceful, how was he to respond over something so obviously planted. Who stood to do it. That's why John Edwards sided with Obama in IOWA and hit Hillary hard in the debates because, Obama still trying to keep race out the election and expecting it to only come from Republicans, is as he said flaberghasted at the rumors and dumbfounded. Now coming from Obama "the I believe candidate, I would believe him over Billary anyday. And we are just trying to get our bounce from Iowa, and the negativity of "NOw it's time for the FUN STUFF" HRC is playing all differences between all races because Obama is getting mad support from all sides. Why would he risk that unity, he's right on her or scoring above, why as the first bi-racial candidate disrespect either side of his family.

Just common sense. If it walks like a Bill, talks like a Billary, it's Billary.
Why would they hire a Rove jr. on the campaign as an advisor?
Hmmm?
Who stands to lose votes in a unifying contest, through divisive campaigning if not Obama who is going on the United America Vote?
Obama doesn't appear to be a hypocrit to me. I'm sorry, but in Iowa after all the shinanigans from the HRC and the nasty comments in the des Moines register, Iowa chose unity and voted for Barack.. Just look at the blogs, the dirt leaves a trail. You'll see there's a difference in the feeling in an Obama support blog. We all work hard going door to door since february last year, to talk to all kinds of people of all ages. Speaking of which, Clinton even said she had all the seniors votes and when the lady asked that question about how she keeps her appearance up running so close in the primaries, who does your hair?" I have had some priveleges in the campaign, you know it's hard, very hard, it's personal.
(Tear wells up) Hell Hillary was fatiqued and according to NH polls, she was behind almost 14%. Then the compassion vote. Hillary really is a woman(CNN)
It was horrible. I understand why Michelle said thid will be his only run. I understand, because we don't know what kind of dirt is coming next.

The world is watching and America airs her dirty laundry.
This is democracy?
More like hypocracy. And nobody has the guts to tell these people to stop with the party smashing.

OBAMA 08, LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

NO MORE CLINTON DRAMA, VOTE FOR CHANGE
IS A VOTE FOR OBAMA!

Thank you, Nevada Democrats! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You voted with your minds and hearts and restored my faith in America's voting public. (I had nearly lost hope after Bush's reelection.) I'm looking forward to Super Tuesday when I can cast my vote for Hillary, just as you did today.
Great job, Nevada! Great job, Hillary!

Hillary wins by 6% points but loses the delegate count? Huh?

THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE 2000 ELECTION. BUSH IS PRESIDENT BUT GORE WON MORE VOTES!

I CALL ON DENNIS KUCINICH TO DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION!

DENNIS, DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS ANOMOLIE.

hillary clinton { woman of many faces} does not have the knowledge or the wisdom to run the usa. old bill will be the mouth piece if the woman of many faces wins

If a majoriity of the African American community votes for Obama, then they've made this election about race. That can not be disputed. The man is full of ideas without any idea how to implement them.

I do believe that this election will be based on experience and performance rather than rhetoric and color.

Barack Obama will be a future president of this country if he can show the American people he has a bit of humility, patience and apptitude. That may or may not be obvious if he continues his tenure in the Senate or other significant assignment in government.

However if he wants to jump into the frying pan at this point in our history, he will not only loose this race, he will be another "also ran"down the road.

As goes Nevada, so goes the west….NoBama, Mama!

If you want to see something intelligent come out of Washington, consider Ron Paul. If you believe in liberty, consider Ron Paul. If you think it's time to put our country back in the hands of the people, consider Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is a true agent of change.

The man loves this country and the constitution. I trust him.

My name is Grover and I approve this message.

DELEGATES MATTER, OBAMA 13 AND HILLARY 12….HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE.

I THINK THAT OBAMA WILL DO FINE, HE STILL HAS MORE DELEGATES THAN HILLARY. I THINK MORE AMERICANS ARE LOOKING FOR CHANGE IN THE USA.
TEXAS FOR OBAMA 08.

I smell a rat in this win, as in New Hampshire.

Hey Kalliope: You could work for CNN!!

This is an excerpt from a New York Times article written by Michael Grynbaum and posted today:

'Mr. Obama said that he received more national delegates in Nevada than Mrs. Clinton because of his strong performance across the state, “including rural areas where Democrats have traditionally struggled.”

But some election officials said they were confused about Mr. Obama’s claim that he more delegates than Mrs. Clinton.

“I don’t know why they’re saying that,” said Jill Derby, president of the Nevada State Democratic Party, referring to the Obama campaign. “We don’t select our national delegates the way they’re saying. We won’t select national delegates for a few more months.”

Clinton machine BRING VOTING FRAUD ,check many illegal alien vote for clinton machins because so corrupt,no emglish 99 % illegal alien look like ,no border

TROUBLE AMERICAN IS VERY WITTY.

With all due respect to Laura's comments, the Republicans want to run against Hillary. They have set her up as a "formidable" candidate since before she announced. President Bush and Laura were glorifying her and her experience just a month or so ago.

The Republicans only strategy is to run against Hillary, because she is beatable. When Obama won Iowa, they were in a panic. Pay attention. The future of our country is at stake. She cannot win, the Republicans are counting on it.

Hillary Clinton wins the Nevada Caucus … maybe.

“I guess this is how the West was won,” Clinton told cheering supporters in Las Vegas. The victory was her second straight, coming after an upset win in the New Hampshire primary.

Not so fast my friend … When is a political victory not a political victory? When you win a Democratic Caucus like Hillary Clinton did in Nevada, yet lost the majority of pledged delegates. Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Caucus over Barack Obama, 51 percent of the vote to Mr. Obama’s 45 percent, with just over 90 percent of the state’s caucuses reporting. However, a funny thing happened on the way to declaring victory by the Clinton camp. It would appear that Barack Obama won more delegates than Hillary. It would also appear that Barack Obama is declaring a victory of his own in Nevada, because after all it about delegates not popular vote.

A source with knowledge of the Nevada Democratic Party’s projections told The Nation that under the arcane weighting system, Obama would win 13 national convention delegates and Clinton would win 12 delegates. The state party has not released an official count yet.

BARACK WON MORE DELEGATES! THAT'S THE GOAL!

Al Gore showed us that is not about winning the popular vote, it's about winning the delegates and playing the game. Barack is doing this. CNN, stop saying Hillary won, when she didn't win the most delegates, like you did in New Hampshire.

I CONCUR, I AM WHITE MARRIED WOMAN AND I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA. ALL THESE COMMENTS THAT SHOW TO BE RACIALLY DIVIDED DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL WHITE AMERICANS. I KNOW OF ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO TEACH AT MY SCHOOL WITH ME, ARE LOOKING HARD AT VOTING FOR OBAMA ALSO.

OBAMA 08

It's interesting that Hillary won by 6 points and you can find troubling news in that. Most polls lately considered it almost a dead heat, just before today. How's it troubling when you win by 6 points? Funny, I didn't see a story that Obama is in big trouble because of either the female or hispanic vote….

i think it will be a big mistake for mrs.clinton being chosen as dem candidate for
presidency because as we speak right now she does not portray to me or other
people that she would be a good role model. starting with her marriage and the
flip flopping.
She is a very good sales woman a quality from bill just a sweet talker, telling people what they want to hear.

I have to say that Laura's comments a few posts back are some of the most intelligent I have seen on here.

NEVADA Delegate Results

OBAMA 13
CLINTON 12

As Clinton Communications Director Howard Wolfson said, "This is a race for delegates…It is not a battle for individual states".

Nuf said. Obama WINS Nevada. Those of you saying that CNN has it out for Hillary. Look at their website right now, it's not headlining OBAMA WINS NEVADA is it??

Are there any men who support Hillary Clinton or just the lunatic left wing feminist fringe over 40 white females 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????

Hillary won more votes but Obama won more delegates. Because it is the number of delegates that counts, it is hard to say that Hillary win Nevada.

Well, Obama supporters, I guess some one has to say it, John Edwards
is not only taking votes from Obama among the ( I will never vote for hillary, ever,
blue collar voters) he will probably be hurting Obama enough in South Carolina
to hand a slim victory to Hillary, which will be enough momentum to motivate
women for women to give her the nomination, after super Tuesday.

Then Mitt Romney will run as the anti – Washington Republican candidate
and Hillary would rally the republican base big time and Romney would
cut into the women vote just enough because of his good looks to eek out
the Presidency. Vice Presidential nominee Huckabee will pull the south
and get the radical right Christians into line.

Obama would not run as a second place V.P.( too much bad blood ) and return to the senate and be one of the best ever. Many Obama supporters especially the young will sit out the national election completely demoralized.

Too bad America – It could have been a great high point in American politics -
instead America suffers through its first theocracy !

Please help me cause I'm a little slow. WHY would Obama "use the race card"? When the first 3 elections were all in states with no significant black populations. We only started hearing about race issues when Obama cracked Hillary's nut in Iowa. Then they went into full no holds barred panic mode.

I supported Bill when he was running, but its time he went out to pasture. His friend GHW Bush should give him some advice on how to behave as a classy ex-president. Support your wife by talking up her accomplishments like ….. uh wait a second, I'll think of some real soon… its right on the tip of my tongue…

Hillary claims that she is the most "vetted" candidate. I think she means to say that she is the most INVESTIGATED candidate. There is a slight difference in emphasis there, but its an important one.

I challenge any of the Hillary supporters to name a significant accomplishment that we can put down to Hillary Clinton in the past 25 years. Being there while her husband signed legislation does not count.

CNN I'm confused. You are showing Obama recieving 13 delegates to Clinton's 12 in Nevada. If the primary season is about delegates how can you say Clinton Won?

The safe bet if you are a betting person is to put your money on Mrs. Clinton but in NH where it is said that she won, she won in the highly populated areas but Obama won in more of the counties around the state, when all the counting was done days later Obama is the true winner because he ended up with more DELEGATES (12) to (11) for Clinton. The same thing is happening in Nevada Clinton is leading with 14 Delegates to Obama's 13, when all the counting is done He could get more again or they might end up as a draw similar to what happened in IOWA after Obama was declared the winner, today they both ended up with 18 delegates each from Iowa. The democractic race is far from any clear front runner. The delegate count is the factor they both need to concentrate on. That being said I am not sure The United States is ready for an African American President .

Marc,

"Only registered supporters should be able to vote in the primaries. For example, independents should not be allowed to vote in the primaries. They can of course vote in the actual elections.

Then there should be only 3 dates for primaries leading up to the Convention date. States will chose which of the 3 dates they would hold their elections. Republicans and Democrats in any State will vote on the same date."

That seems like a good start. Good post.

Gosh, more like Bush everyday. Popular vote vs. delegates, looks like Obama will take whatever he can get any way he can get it. And he admires Reagan as a hero, and Republicans have been the party of vision for the last 10-15 years. Is he sure he's running in the right party? Or were Democrats the only party he could run in and win as an African American?

I would have voted for a man for president who happened to be black, but I won't vote for him because he is black, there's a big difference.

Dee Ward Mena, AR

Obama isn't obsessed with trivial things like skin color. He doesn't have time to focus on slimy tactics to work with us to accomplish amazing things. We need leadership. Hillary isn't a leader. Her time isn't now, and it may not be ever. Any American who reads a newspaper can deduce that. He wants to help America be the wonderful country it has the potential to be. He doesn't just give speeches. Broaden your knowledge on the candidates. Edwards and Obama have done many actual things for regular Americans. Hillary's time in the senate doesn't trump literal accomplishments. She authorized the government to spy on you, and she said it's okay for president's to start any war of their choosing. I don't consider her a positively accomplished candidate.

To be president you need to be 35 and a natural born citizen. That's it. Our founding fathers didn't write that you had to be "experienced" to make sound decisions and utilize good judgement.

Its unbelievable how people are accusing Clinton of cheap tricks and attempting to divide people when it is Obama that has done this and made race the issue. Not Clinton … Not CNN … Not the guy who lives next door … but OBAMA!

I seem to remember it was Obama who started the attacks against Clinton on live tv to the point of bullying.

To be honest, I'll be glad when this is all over.

wrong Jersey Joe, blacks will just stay home

After today's Nevada vote illegal immigration has just become my most important issue

Hello Beautiful People,
That's the beauty of free speech !
CNN can report as accurate as could be and ya'll can criticize CNN as loud as you want. But the truth is, after traveling to Europe, Middle East and Asia countries. I found out that,they are welcoming Obama as our next president! That's the fact!
Viva Obama

I am a life long dem and will not vote for Hillary. She doesn't evoke any feelings of trust, honest or unity in me. She can't be trusted and she does NOT have any experience or integrity about her. I'm living overseas now and see how the world looks at the USA… Hillary or ANY republican elected will be a disaster for international relations. A vote for Hillary is a vote for the same ole same ole mess that's been going on for 24 years.

The troubling news is simple. Hillary is losing in actual delegate counted. This IS TROUBLE! After S. Carolina, She'll be down more. Real peoples voices count!

The IS a reason CNN is called the Clinton New Network.

Hillary Clinton all the way!

rac race race…CNN is so ATL

Best Administration… you don't have to say more, many Americans understand, that why they resist all the pro-Obama propaganda.. there are still many stupids in America, otherwise they wouldn't complain so much of the Clintons.

Any idiot should understand that America needs back its economic prosperity.

Maybe the Clintons cannot do anything else.. but if they can do that, bring them back!!

Hillary'08!

Dave you are wonderful. Americans stopped taking their smart pills long time ago if they they what that is. But wait till after the election let them complain and we will definitely remind them who they sent to the white house. Let them try complaining to the Clintons. We'll all see.

REFORM THE PROCESS!

The whole electoral process is flawed. The eventual aim should be to have direct elections where one man (or one woman), one vote counts rather than a delegate system which is open to abuse.

If U.S. cannot overhaul to bring in one man one vote, then at least the delegate system should be overhauled. Caucuses should be got rid of in favour of secret-ballot primaries.

Only registered supporters should be able to vote in the primaries. For example, independents should not be allowed to vote in the primaries. They can of course vote in the actual elections.

Then there should be only 3 dates for primaries leading up to the Convention date. States will chose which of the 3 dates they would hold their elections. Republicans and Democrats in any State will vote on the same date.

The candidate with the least number of votes cast at each primary date would be knocked out automatically although there must always be eventually 2 candidates heading for the Convention unless of course there is a walkover or one of the two final candidates bows out voluntarily.

The number of delegates should be equal for both Democrats and Republicans, maybe 3,800 delegates in total for each party.

Political donation limit should be reduced from $2,300 to $1,000 per individual.
New limits on spending on TV and radio commercials should be introduced.

This article is a joke. Who do you think African Americans are going to vote for! It's the first time, there is a serious African American running for President. Once Hillary wins the nomination and she names Obama VP African Americans will be back on board for the election. Is it troubling that Obama got trounced by Latino's, Women, Unions, registered Democrats, Catholics? Poor reporting by CNN!

BRILLIANT HILLARY!!!

IRELAND IS PRAYING FOR YOU TO WIN!!!

IRISH WOMEN FOR HILLARY!!!

HILLARY 2008

I love how negative Hillary's supporters are; calling people stupid, saying that hillary should teach black voters a lesson by ignoring their needs when she is in office, saying Obama is a divider.

Truth is, Obama may not win the Democratic election, but he still has the option to run as an independent. Because he has the money, the organization, and the support. If he runs as an independent, Hillary won't win, it will either be that the independents swing to Obama, or the republicans will win. But not the democrats

I think we need to send a message to the democratic party about how we feel about the Clinton's racist, ugly political dirt tactics.

Convince Obama to run as an independent. Keep Hillary out of the white house!

Having grown up in a mixed race family I am almost never accused of having racist views. When Hillary made her comment about MLK I saw it as drawing a distinction between elegant and truely powerful motivational speaking and organizing; and the unglamorous work of changing laws. The presidents job is to change laws. It certainly helps if they can speak eloquently enough to make the country feel good about it. Our current president doesn't have the speaking thing down, but he certainly has implemented a lot of change. Both Clinton and Obama are exceptionally talented politicians. Both Clinton and Obama agree that they are fighting for the same issues. Why not believe what they both agree on. How about HIllary/Obama for 8 years then Obama/?? for 8 more.

You know whats funny?

Obama won Iowa by a full 9% points and got ONE more delegate. Thats all.

Clinton won NH and got the SAME as Obama. But a 2% difference probably explains that.

Clinton won MIchigan but of course we dont know if the delegates will count or not.

Clinton won nevada by 6 FULL percentage points, but OBAMA got more delegates????

Sounds like a LOT of Al Gore George Bush.

6% points is no small margain of victory.

The democratic party has to do something about this caucus on the strip but Bill Clinton is right.

The guy who LOST by 6% got MORE delegates? It isnt reasonable.

They all agreed to it so it doesnt matter. What is done is done.

But for 2012, for the love of god, dont let the LOSER of the vote get more delegates. That is ridiculous.

Just make it a popular vote, and then assign the delegates that way.

of course CNN doesn't post my earlier comment about the possibilty of them making up the results of the exit polls just so they could say something negative about Hillary Clinton

LOVE IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, HATE IS OF THE FLESH.

FAVORABLE RATINGS OF PRESIDENTIAL ADMINSTRATIONS, A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THEY LEFT OFFICE

George W. Bush 34%

William Jefferson Clinton 62%

Ronald Reagan 48%

Need we say more, we were far better off with a Clinton Adminstration… so say I….. So say America !!!!

And America Says President Hillary Rodham Clinton !

I Agree OBAMA must change his strategy to win against Billery She has cried, whined, complained, and nagged to get her wins this is so sad, that this is what you have to do to win a presidential election. He is going to have to fully engage with her in this next debate call her on the carpet for her actions and attack her like never before.

NO MORE ABORTIONS

I SUPPORT OBAMA BUT MY GOD CNN CAN YOU AT LEAST REPORT FAIRLY WHO CARES IF BLACKS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA OR LATINOS ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HILLARY…YOU GUYS A WORST THAN CARL ROVE..YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY SPEWING ALL THIS RACIAL DIVISION..ARE YOU GUYS UNDERCOVER REPUBLICANS WORKING TO DESTRUCT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY? ANSWER ME CNN

HELLO OUT THERE…….
RON PAUL CAME IN SECOND

SECOND>>>>>>>RON PAUL CAME IN SECOND!!!!!!!!

THIS IS NEWS!!!!!!!!

CNN HATERS, WHILE ARE YOU STILL HERE…COMPLAINING GO TO THE OTHER WEBSITES…WHERE YOU CAN BE HAPPIER.

I switched to FoxNews based on a post I saw earlier on his blog and you are right. I've been watching FoxNews election coverage for about 30 minutes and have not yet heard anything mentioned about the "black vote" or the "race issue" Thanks for the suggestion. African Americans who are tired of CNN telling us who we vote for and creating all the race drama switch with me to FoxNews for real election coverage!!!

the Clintons tactis are to divide and conquer. blacks against whites, hispanics, old against young, i mean, what on going here? if Clinton is the nominee, there potential for chaos in the general election. this is truly a problem for democrats. I'll be honest as an African-American i will not be supporting Hillary, not because of skin color, but because of principle. I truly see why people label here a polarizing. Obama must change is strategy if he wants to win.

Obama believes for hope, hope that we can pull the troops out of IRAQ, Hope that we can unite the parties, allies, and the world, Hope that we can improve healthcare system that is in effect today. Dont discredit OBAMA because your friends dont do their homework.Obama is not trying to racially devide people, but we all knew the subject would come up because he is infact black thats something you cannot hide from and is something people will bring up over and over again.America has come along way but to my dissappointmet not as far as you would think. I am still hopeful that he will overcome the manipulation of the Clinton campaign and for once the good guy will win!

GO AHEAD AND TRY TO DOWN PLAY NEV AND HILLARY'S WIN… Thats what cnn does best. btw lets get real when it comes down to it blacks vote blacks white vote white. latinos will vote hillary, maybe some obama..a small few. let's see what happens on feb. 5th, guarantee clinton wins the primaries by more then what the polls are showing. racism and sexism is alive and well in america…just stating facts. I'm not a racist, haven't even decided who i'm voting for yet. just a realist…..

Everyone, Please Read Dave's comments….He is right on TARGET!

Can ya'll copy edit there at CNN? NEXT Saturday's SC Primary? C'mon, guys… stop letting the interns write the online stuff…

Well, Dave, good to see you'd vote for a racist rather than someone whose tone is a bit too sharp for your tastes.

That's voting for your values, I guess. Good for you. Bad for the country, but good for you, I guess.

Gregory Sharpe… you just showed what the problem is with America. We will never get good people to run for office, because stupid Americans like you
prove once again, that you dont care…..you have been and will always be happy with just so-so leaders. When genuine people that have unique qualities comes along we choose the veteran politician and wonder why things never really chance.

Hillary and all the other career politicans thank you, because you and people like you will keep them in office for a long time.

American you have a rare opportunity to choose a real leader in Obama, who has the passion to serve, when it would be far easier for him to sit back like many others and let Clintons and Bushes run our great county into the ground.

Think…….and vote wisely!!!

If we can get Hillary elected she will do for domestic policy what Bush did for foreign policy, expose the rampant failures of a twentieth century world view.

Its a world view ill-equiped to cope with the $52 Trillion dollar retirement bill the baby boom will impose on its children and grandchildren. This obligation will drive a dramatic change in foreign policy. America's Islamophobia affliction will be cured.

A rEVOLution is in the air.

CNN is both obsessed and convinced that Obama will ultmately win the Presidency… why does it have to focus so much on him/race?

I have been and always will be a supporter of the Democratic Party. I will break with party ties to vote for the candidate who I think is best no matter what party they represent. WIth that in mind I don't really see a great potential president on the Republican side. Obama is sharp, Edwards is a strong candidate as well, but Clinton is scraping the bottom of the barrel folks. I will vote Republican no matter who the candidate is if Shrillary gets the nomination. Yes people…I would even vote for that racist Ron Paul. Let's not let our country keep on this steady decline that Bill Clinton started and Bush accellerated. Let's turn course and make a CHANGE. Obama is the answer. People blast his lack of experience….I say he hasn't become a Washington Insider who plays politics and will lie cheat and steal to get ahead. Look at Washington and ask yourself if another lying piece of trash Clinton needs to be in office? OH the scandals we can enjoy

Thanks, Nevada ! ^5 (high 5)

Thrilling news about Clinton winning, in spite of the Obama campaign's effort to get casino workers to vote for him. The casino workers voted allright – for their candidate of choice HILLARY CLINTON !!

How on earth does CNN find such ridiculous ways to spin facts – 16% of voters are black, and 80% of this 16% voted for Obama = 12%. How on earth could this possibly be construed as potential big trouble for the Clinton campaign?

A previous poster mentioned that MSNBC has less biased coverage so I am switching my homepage to MSNBC and will tune in to MSNBC for TV coverage. CNN's bias is disgraceful. I'm glad to know that voters as a whole are not influenced by such a lowly agenda.

Yeah to Black in KC.

I'm in KC too and no one here is talking about "race." It's not the issue. Even in the African American community or among my female friends. It's the media creating "drama" where there isn't any and "unnamed" campaign workers on both sides fueling the fire with their conference calls to reporters.

I wish all the candidates would go back to playground rules. Everyone play nice. Good grief. It's as if they don't think any of us are smart enough to decide without all the mudslinging

But I also wish the media would stop focusing on the female votes and AA votes. I find it pretty offensive.

For me it's about the fact that we've had many years of the Bush dynasty and 8 years of the Clintons. I'd like my kids to see that you don't have to be a political insider to become President. As far as the Democrats are concerned, both Obama and Edwards have more years in elected office than Clinton. So the 'experience" card isn't working for me. That's why she lost my vote. Not due to race. Not due to my disloyalty to women. But because I remember all the positives when a Clinton was in office. And they were almost always overshadowed by all the negatives – much of which was avoidable. (pardons to felons, family members as lobbyists, infighting, fights with Republicans, etc.).

Delegate count so far:

Magic Number 2,025

Clinton
210

Obama
122

Need I say more

For those who keep saying the Clintons did nothing for the middle class or for blacks or for the country. Remind me again what Obama has done. Oh thats right!! he is the one candidate who has never done ANYTHING. So yeah it is really good choice to choose the person who has not done anything if you want to get something done. I'm well aware that he gives good speeches, so does most of the drama class at your local community college.

Billary plays the gender card and WINS! It's really a sad day in America. This woman could not run her own household. How do we think she is going to run the country. WAKE UP PEOPLE. If she wins the nomination, I will be voting Replubican.

All the Barack Hussein Obama-sites are spitting the black people for their benefit. The Clintons have never been anti-black, ever. So to shun them like that is just disrespectful, backtabing and bad politically. When Obama looses , what are they gonna do? You would have angered the Clintons and maybe lost one of the few friends they have in the government. They've turned this into women-vs-blacks. Blacks make up about 12% and Obama is getting 70% of that. Women are about 50% of the population. The numbers are clearly in Hillary's corner. Hispanics are about 14% and Hillary's getting about 70% of that. There is no way this Obama can win. Not now.

Edwards or Obama are intelligent enough to make good decisions. They have good judgement. They have committed lots of time walking in the shoes of the common man. Hillary has always been a political person, observing the masses from a wife's seat at the governor's and president's side. SHE WAS A GOLDWATER GIRL, PEOPLE. She has done some good things during her mere 8 years as an elected official trying to help us little people, but quit suggesting (Hillary) that you have magical powers and qualifications "for day one." Edwards and Obama actually talk to the common man and know our struggles, and they are perfectly capable human beings who would staff the White House with other knowledgeable people to repair the damages of this administration. W had first person access to the White House too (under Reagan and his dad) – what did that get us?

It really makes me mad that most of the news networks would bow down and kiss Obama's feet. While he was doing well in the polls you all praised him and even when he does bad in the polls you all still praise him. None of you can show Hillary in a positive way. We cannot judge her for the mistake her husband made while he was president. I was watching your poll results for Nevada and none of the people on your panel said anything positive about Hillary. I am sick of your negative views about her, let the voters deside. Can you guys not be so one sided, are all of you Republicans?
I am also sick of everyone turning this into a race issue. I feel no matter what color you are, you can make up your own mind on who to vote for. If your a person that will only vote for someone who is the same race as yourself, do us all a favor and dont vote.

I'm waiting to hear or see this:

TROUBLE FOR OBAMA: 55% OF NEVADA VOTERS VOTE AGAINST HIM

or

TROUBLE FOR EDWARDS: 96% OF NEVADA VOTERS VOTE AGAINST HIM

Seems like that's been the headline against Hillary in every state.

How about some fair reporting – spread the love!!

HILLARY CLINTON 2008

Mike you better look again, Hillary Clinton IS THE LEADING CANDIDATE IN DELEGATES. Where do you get your information. As for race, obama brings it up everytime he says I COULD BE THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT. Why can't he run as an American, not a BLACK AMERICAN. If blacks want to be equal then they need to be Americans, not BLACK Americans anymore then Mexicans should be MEXICAN AMERICANS. IF you want to be a President of this country, then be AN AMERICAN PERIOD. No one should vote for a candidate because they are black or female, you should vote for the most qualified person. That certainly wasn't done in the last two elections so let's try to get it done right this time. The press needs to give Hillary Clinton the credit for her wins and not rake her over the coals. If the Patriots win a football game, even though only by one field goal, they still won the game. Can't we do the same for a Presidential Candidate. If Hillary wins a primary or caucus, even if by 1 vote, it is still a win. So the press needs to back off in picking her apart constantly. Let's let the voters decide who will win this nomination, not the Press.

Has everyone forgot that Hillary had Vince Foster murdered? Why do you people have such blind support for her? Too many skeletons in her closet.

Studying the issues, policies and positions — and the past voting records — I don't know how anyone could, 1) vote for Hillary in the primary, and 2) actually believe she would win in the general.

Were it not for her husband propping her up, she wouldn't even have a campaign. I would LOVE a woman to be President, and I wouldn't even mind Hillary except she has all of that Clinton baggage.

The Republicans are going to have a field day with her, if she wins the nomination. We have better choices Democrats! On to S.C. and we'll score a big victory there. Democrats and African-Americans are tired of the rich and powerful controlling our election process.

The name of the game is not who wins the first 4 caucauses and primaries. It is who has the most delegates by April 1st. Presently Obama leads Clinton by 1 (37 vs 36). Obama is still in this race considering only 3 to 4 months ago Hillary was leading Obama in polling in Iowa (by 4 pts), in New Hampshire (by 19 pts) , and in Nevada (by 26 pts). Obama won Iowa over Hillary by 8pts. Obama lost New Hampshire to Hillary by only 2 pts, and lost Nevada by 6 pts.

Stay Tuned!

OBAMA in 08!

CNN—Give it a rest. I am a black man. And I am not stupid. Let us decide. Not you. Hillary did a good job in Nevada. Don't talk about how many black votes she got. She must have got enough. SHE WON.

Here is the formula for south carolina (that votes strongly Republican anyways)

Pollster : Hello Mr and Mrs Black person. Who are you voting for ?

Reply : Obama of course. We are so excited about an African American winning the white house.

Pollsters : OBAMA CRUSHING CLINTON IN THE BLACK VOTE.

Day of eleciton exit pollsters: Hello Mr and Mrs Black person. Who did u vote for?

Reply : Obama of course. He is the man !!! blah blah . Black power all the way !!!

Pollsters: Obama CRUSHING CLINTON IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Election results : Clinton wins South Carolina

I don't exactly understand. Hillary won NV with 51% and Obama got 46% was it? But they each got 12 delagates?? Why is that? What good does it do her to win if the loser gets the same amount of delagates???

I want to hear Obama's opinions on issues that affect African-Americans?

What is your opinion on Affirmative Action and Reparations? I'll buy Hope as long as I know what you can DELIVER. What are you plans to help the crumbling inner-city schools? To help end gang violence that rots the core of American cities? To end the crisis in Darfur?

Well?

This race will end up in future Journalism/ Political Science and Psychology textbooks in the future because of its historical nature.

It will compare the polls, the votes and the win to try to draw conclusions about the collective progress we've made or not made with regard to racial and sexual bias against the backdrop of country at war with a particular ideology/religion for the sake of oil that will be obsolete at some point. wow.

Maybe even some of our blogs will be included too.

Kind of interesting when you think about it.

maynard- you said Bill Clinton did nothing for the middle class? What American are you living in? Hilary doesn't have the knowledge to lead? Are we talking about Hillary Clinton? ??

You are not helping Obama if you are so obviously biased against the Clintons. People see it and people have their say. Now you are circulating evil news to the nation, you are talking about race? You want to drive a wedge between Clinton and Obama, black and white, Hispanic and black. shame on you CNN

I am a psychologist and I am afraid when I look at Hilarry. There is something very disturbing about her.
As for Obama, he is the most humane from all of the candidates.
On the Republicans, Ron Paul is by far, I say by far the best. However, the Establishment will never allow Ron to become a president. That's why numerous people who vote for Ron Paul receive an "error" that they can't submit their vote.
This election, like every single 'election' in the US is rigged.
We do not elect, rather someone else selects the new President.
We only think that we Elect. In reality, we have never elected anything.

I think that Barrack is the true and original candidate of change.Black people have been undecided about voting between Barack and Clinton saying they have done so much for us but I fail to see what they have specifically done.Yeah they will show up to the events hosted by Blacks and but that does not count for doing something for the black race.We have a credible candidate runing for office and we are about to blow it. The Clintons have showed that they will stoop to any level to win this presidential nomination and its time for Barack to play hard-ball if he wants to win. I do not trust Hillary to get the troops out of Iraq, earlier in the race she stated that she would not withdraw immediately and now she has miraculously changed her position, and now she has adopted Obamas slogan for change. She is going to say whatever to win but what is going to happen once she gets her foot in the door? I want a candidate that is going to be honest and true and thats Obama.

I wish that CNN would STOP saying Hillary won something here in Nevada, or New Hampshire for that matter. She split the delegates down the middle with Obama. Much like the real election the popular vote means less.

Republican are waiting to take back the white house if Hillary got Dem. NOMINATION. They will not have to campaigh hard cause a lot of Dem. and independent voters will just votes for them..

She may win the party nomination, but she will never win the presidency for several reasons: Republicans will not switch over and vote for her, Independents will not vote for her, and she has no African-American support.

What I dont understand is she plays the gender card…..Republicans play the evangelical card……Obama has never asked anyone to vote for him because he is African American, but the Billary camp tries to use his race against him.

this woman is so devisive…..I hope McCain is the Repub nominee….He's gonna stomp the yard on her! And GOOD LUCK.

Billary may get the nomination, but they are having to work very hard for it! I think Obama is doing well considering less than a month ago, she had 20+ point leads in just about every state in the union….People still have doubts about her

STEVE JAY, COME ON NOW WHY WOULD OBAMA USE THE RACE CARD, HE WAS RAISED BY HIS WHITE MOTHER AND HER PARENTS. IT WAS USED BY THE CLINTONS TO DIVIDE US. I AM NOT FOCUSING ON THE RACE OR GENDER, I FEEL THAT OBAMA CAN BRING REAL CHANGE FOR EVERYONE.

Steve Jay, you meant Billary Clinton right? The time for Clinton redemption is past. Our country needs to come out of the national nightmare of the past seven years, and to go back to the national bad-dreams of the Clintons does not seem enough in 2008. The rhythm BushClintonBush… is about to be broken. Hallejujah!

FOLKS WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER CLINTON AS PRESIDENT.
THE WOMAN OF MANY FACES DOES NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO
LEAD THE USA FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. REMEMBER WE HAD BILL FOR EIGHT AND HE DID NOTHING FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS

ITS TIME FOR CHANGE

For me that is not a surprise. Women may or may not vote for Hillary. But the black vote will of course go to Obama. People can say this will be a great election year. But, if the people would really think about the election and not the color of the skin it would be great. But I travel alot and all the people I run into say they are voting for Obama. When I ask why they say because of what he believes in. When I ask what does he believe in, they all have no clue. So I know, it is only becase of the skin color. Which is sad. I live in Alabama, and all the local goverment is black. And all I can say is you will see. Vote for what you believe, not just to get a brother in office. He does not know where you come from like you think. He didn't even say anything about helping the lack people until he saw it was going to be a close race. When you vote for Obama, you are also voting for the Rev. AL and Jesse Jackson. Watch and see what I say. Coming from a Black man. The only person that can help not only the black people but the nation. Which should be the only thing we think about. Not our color. IS HILLARY.

CNN will do anything they can to be-little the Clinton Campaign. Against all odds she won. Giver some credit. Obama tried to stack the deck with the Culinary Unions purchased endorsement, and he still could not win. You have to get Donna Brazile off the air, she is in Obamas camp, and she can't hide it. John King is pretty bad too. No reporting on CNN about the Obama "swift-boat" 527 radio adds that Obama "supporters" ran directly targeting Hispanic voters. Obamadrones, please don't accuse Clinton of playing the race card again.

CNN stop favoring candidates. You are so biased, you are disheartening. Let Hilliary bask in her glory as the future president of the free world.

I am so sick and tired of hearing about race. What about black voters like myself who will support Senator Hillary Clinton or other candidates. Under no circumstance will I vote for an inexperience black or white candidate at such a crucial time in our country when the economy is on the verge of collapse. We need to concentrate on our financial institutions who are experiencing serious losses while they are laying off major portions of their workforce. Those loosing their homes,our healthcare system that has been so ineffective,crime in the inner c ities and growing homeless population. Race isn't the issue in this election and we need not make it an issue. Senator Obama is black and gives some of the most riveting speeches which can be compared to those of Martin Luther King and former President Clinton but thats not enough we need someone with a vision but with that vision we need experience more than Senator Obama has at this time. Sure as a black woman I am proud of Senator Obama knowing that somewhere in this country and even globally some black child envision to emulate his qualities but we shouldn't get caught up in the hype because America is at a serious crossroad. We constantly talk about uniting this country yet we destroy each other just to win. Some in the media even suggest that all black voters will make their choice based solely on race and thats insulting. I urge all black americans who will be voting over the next couple of months to make race a nonfactor and vote on the issues and show the media we are not as simple minded as they think. We have more serious problems than race because we are on the verge of a recession which could make the housing crisis seems like childplay.

One would think being married to the first black President would have boosted her stock more. Maybe it is just because she's just Hillary.

I THINK WE NEED TO FIND A REAL NEWS SOURCE. CNN IS WHACK… WOLF BLITZER, THE FAT CHICK, AND THE FAT OPRAH WINFREY LOOKING CHIC NEED TO GO. CAFFERTY IS COOL, AND ANDERSON IS MOST OF THE TIME, BUT HE IS GETTING TO BE TO MUCH OF A BEAUTY QUEEN.

DON'T BELIEVE ON THE NATIONAL MEDIA, PUNDITS, POLLSTERS, SPIN DOCTORS, POLITICIAN AND CELEBRITY ENDORSER, CAMPAIGN ADVERTISEMENT!! IT'S YOUR RIGHTS TO VOTE AND DECIDE IT FOR YOUR SELF – DO NOT LET ANYONE OR ANYBODY DECIDE FOR YOU!! AMERICA WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER ON THE JOB TRAINING PRESIDENT!!! CHOOSE WHO HAS THE BRAIN AND READY TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY ON DAY ONE!!! IT'S YOUR CHOICE NOT THEM!!! God Bless America!

I VOTE FOR BILL.

Democrats is giving the nomination to Clintons. Well, be ready for a Republican president in November. Clintons already divided and destroyed Democratic party. Many Democrats will not show up and independents will vote for a Republican. People love scandals of Clinton and Bush presidencies. I am sure it has been a nice entertainment for all!! But it has never been free! Hard working men and women of this country always paid the price so that Clinton and Bush Dynasties survive!! Continue Democrats. You are showing how inept you are!

It saddens me that African Americans appear to be rallying to Senator Obama, apparently because he is Black.

I thought that we as Democrats had moved beyond that, I know that the country has not. Women and other minorities are going to Senator Clinton in large numbers, but not Blacks. Senator Clinton and President Clinton have worked for minority, largely Black causes their entire lives. While they may not "inspire" the masses, they get the job done. And that should count for a great deal in American politics. All flash and no fire (Senator Obama) doesn't cook the meal.

Hispanics are fast becoming the largest minority. There is nothing that can stop it, and who would want to? The world changes and we change with it, or we perish.

I pray that African Americans are not isolating themselves during this election, and remain committed to the Democratic Party and the principles that have always made it the true party of the people.

Democrats still care about the working people, Republicans still care about big business and the rich.

I want to see and hear about Ron Paul. What about Ron Paul???? America needs Ron Paul. America wants Ron Paul. Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul

Romney wins in Nevada? A Mormon in the Whitehouse means Mormons on every committee, task force, appointed office. Mormons are basically NUTS who are racist and excusionary. I live, work and try to survive in a Nevada Mormon community. People -BEWARE. I have never seen such blatantly preferential treatment of church members. And trust me – they know if your aren't a member! They shop at members stores, patronize mormon establishments and can basically force a business to close. I am not kidding. Mormons are a dangerous cult . Do some research before you put a Mormon in a position of power.

All you Hillary fans crowing about her "three wins in a row"—get a grip. The Michigan vote was utterly meaningless—Hillary v. nobody, and Hillary "won" by a surprisingly close 55-40 margin, netting exactly 0 delegates. Hardly something to boast about . In New Hampshire she won by 2 percentage points and split the delegates with Obama right down the middle. In Nevada she edged out Obama and got 13 delegates to his 12. This race is going to go right down to the wire. congressional district by congressional district, delegate by delegate. It's incredibly close, and after South Carolina is likely to be even closer.

And I'm sorry, but if you're being realistic, Hillary's poor showing among black voters in Nevada, as well as the large fraction of black voters in Michigan who decided to vote for nobody ("uncommitted") over Clinton, have to be cause for concern on her part. She began this race with overwhelming support among black voters and endorsements from the vast majority of the black political establishment, but black voters have been leaving her in droves. In Nevada, Obama won black voters 5 to 1. If that trend holds, Obama should clean up in the southeast–not only South Carolina but also Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Virginia, all states with huge black populations where Obama's black support, combined with his support among younger and more educated white voters and indepednents (to the extent they can vote in the Democratic primaries) should be easily enough to push him over the top. And black votes could be decisive in a lot of big northeastern and midwestern industrial states as well, and could even make New York suprisingly close. For Clinton, the good news is that she held a 3-to-1 edge among Latino voters in Nevada. If that trend holds, it should bode well for her in California and a handful of other southwestern states, but although Latinos are now a larger population than blacks nationally, fewer of them are registered to vote, and a lower percentage are Democrats (maybe 60 to 65%, v. upward of 90% for blacks). So nationally, Obama's advantage among black voters would be more than enough to cancel out Clinton's advantage among Latinos. To win the nomination, Obama does need to make some inroads with Latinos, older women, and lower-income white voters—Hillary's core strengths. But she's the better-known establishment candidate, he's the challenger; he still has the potential to expend his support, while for her the challenge is to stem any further losses. In that context, the dramatic, sudden shift of black voters to Obama has to be a serious concern to her campaign. That's not "playing the race card," that's just a cold, hard look at political facts.

Viva Obama

Adios Obama

Tom Davie, did it ever occur to you that people want to be hopeful and see a new future for America? That people are tired of the Clintons? A few days ago it was the 10 year anniversary of Bill Clinton killing the Democratic party. His libido delivered the Bush presidency. People didn't fight for Gore's valid win, and "values" have been bantered incessantly over conservative airwaves with results because people don't like the Clintons. We, American citizens want a fresh start. Hillary cannot possibly deliver that, even if it isn't entirely her fault.

Hillary – you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Keep working for all those too stupid to see you will be the Greatest PRESIDENT ever.

Hillary '08 and '12

Actually, Wallace Brown, it was Obama that started the nasty tactics and turned race into an issue. I will lose all faith in the American people if Obama wins the nomination. Clinton is the best candidates and deserves to win.

CNN JUST WANTS THIS TO DRAG OUT SO THEY CAN SELL MILLION DOLLAR AD SPACES. HILLARY IS WINNING AND IS GOING TO WIN. CNN IS TRYING TO MAKE THIS A PROLONGED BEAUTY CONTEST AND EVERY CORRESPONDENT THERE IS TRYING TO BE THE NEXT BOB BARKER. WHY NOT START REPORTING WHERE THE CANDIDATES STAND. 'WHERES THE BEEF", RATHER THAN WHO LOOKS GOOD. I AM WAITING, NEXT THEY WILL START PUTTING POLL NUMBERS UNDER EACH OF THE CANDIDATES PICTURES AS THEY MAKE SPEECHES LIKE THE MS. USA PAGEANT. GOOD GRIEF WHERE ARE THE REPORTERS?

Love your usual negative connotation to Hillary's success! Good thing that there is not a majority of Blacks in America if that is what everything is based on. Why doesn't the news and Obama campaign stop playing the race card! We are sick of it!

I have been watching the election coverage very closely for the last couple of weeks. From what I can tell Clinton isn't pulling the race card…It seems to be CNN that keeps focusing on " the black vote" and "the hispanic vote" CNN has basically created this race drama. I think CNN feels that if they say it enough times then black people will actually vote for Obama becasue CNN told us to.

Keep up the good work CNN… Stories reported like this will help Hillary WIN!!! Did Bill or Hillary's campaign submit this report?

It's great to see wise voters choosing the best, the doer, the most qualified, and people-oriented Hillary because she will mobilize solutions to the problems GWB will leave behind in contrast to the empty talker of change. I applaud all you wise voters out there for standing up with Hillary and making it known that your lives will be better off with her as the President. You, we are all winners and let us continue the success that the people of NH have planted. Cheer on for Hillary 08.

Apparently some people are more concerned about their own personal agenda, making a statement or "righting a wrong" from the last century instead of choosing the candidate that will best serve our country as a whole. Apparently the negative ads, tactics, voter intimidation and race baiting, Senate votes etc. is not deterring some people from continuing to support Obama even in light of his extreme lack of experience. Most of the negativity, accusations, rude, hateful and sexist remarks about Senator Clinton are unfounded and said without merit or basis of reputable knowledge. I guess some people would rather be ignorant than take the time to seek the truth.

Gabe Polson, The Woodlands,TX, the people haven't spoken. Sorry, but Hillary doesn't get to be president because she edged out Obama in two states. Some of us in the other 40 some odd states still get the chance to vote, don't we?

Before NH, Bill and Hillary were whining and crying because they weren't getting their way. I find it troubling that women are voting for her based on gender or some warped solidarity. Nothing wrong with a woman president, but is Hillary really a role model? Staying with a womanizer for political power? No thank you. Barbara Boxer should have run in this election – there's a woman of convcition and passion. My cousin is in a war that Hillary had no problem voting for.

Not much of a win, if the majority of delegates go to Obama in Nevada. As the headline reads "Potentially troubling news" for Hillary, there's more. Current news report that Obama WON the Nevada delegate count. Of course, CNN is not up-to-the-minute on this one either!

Typical CNN they just can't get off the color race card thing, always making something out of nothing, the people of NV have spoken, they are Americans you idiots att CNN!

Go Mitt!

You can count on CNN to put a negative spin on a Hilary win. Stop the biased coverage.

Obama supporters stormed into our Caucus when the counting had just begun….they sat down without being registered…..they were counted….the person in charge called to tell the headquarters what had happened….She was told NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT!!!…Obama won that precinct……unfairly……and illegally….I am just glad Hillary won but that just shows you what ends Obama supporters will do to win wrongfully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CATH, you should be ashame of yourself for underestimate black people ability of making a rational decision. This is typical type of false campaing that the CLINTON MACHINES are spreading.
It's clear to you that all tthese centuries that WHITE PEOPLE been voting for white candidates: YES they were RATIONAL , but when a AFRICAN-AMERICAN decide to vote for OBAMA: NO it's based on the color of hi s/her SKIN !
Don't be IGNORANT FOR LIFE. This is kind of CHANGE that we are all fighting for, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN ! GO OBAMA.

Thank you CNN! You are the best news outlet there is! If anything you are more biased towards Hillary. I still like you though. I can't wait to see your coverage of Obama's win in SC!!!!!

The media coverage of the Democrats race is becoming ludicrous. The bias against Clinton is so blatant. "Potentially troubling news in Clinton's Nevada win" Give me a break!!! She won and all you do is focus on the negatives while you fall over yourselves fawning over Obama.

And I love it how you selectively quote Bill and Hilary (eg. the 'fairytale' comment) to completely alter what it was they said while giving the full Obama quote when he defends himself (eg. the messy desk defence)…

The public can see through your bias!!! Just like we can see through the fact that Obama has nothing to offer other than a few feel good lines and soundbites for a lazy press corp!

í Viva Obama!

I am a fifty-six year old black male who worked hard all his life to put food on the table for my children, a roof over their heads, and clothes on their back. I work hard and play by the rules and have always voted for a Democrat for president but I will sit this election out if Hillary Clinton is the nominee of the party. The Clinton's win at all costs attitude is destroying the unity the Democrats need and their underhanded, slimey tactics of rumor and innuendo about Barack Obama makes me sick. Instead of running on her record, which is very slim, she and her campaign staff are using every under-handed, dirty, racially charged lie they can conjure up to bring Obama down. I raised my kids to be honest and play by the rules and when I see how the Clinton's are running their campaign it makes me ashamed. They lost five votes from this household and hopefully, many more good people of all colors and faiths will feel the same as my family. America deserves a heck of a lot better than what the Clintons have to offer.

NObama, NO! Go Hillary, Go! Anybody but Obama or a republican please, oh man. Amazing how certain politicians will crucify a fellow colleague for their sexual preferences or affairs, or maybe put a colleague on the spot for smoking marijuana, but have a fellow colleague admit to smoking crack–hey, now that takes a set of nads….let's put that man in the Whitehouse! Please, what kind of sense would that make. Imagine the consequences of falling off that wagon in a time of war, or any other time the country needs a leader for that matter. Although in keeping with Obmama's Mantra, that would be a "change."

IT'S OBAMA TIME!!!!

Iowa, a predominantly white state, voted for Obama. No racism there. New Hampshire, another very white state was very close. But the vote within the vote is starting to bring the true racists out into the open. With 80% of black voters in Nevada choosing Obama, it is starting to become clear. Racism among white people is not the problem in America, it is racism among blacks that divide the country.

Potentially troubling news for Senator Obama

TEXAN – if you are ready to become Repuglican, you already are, you say you'd vote for Obama until the election and then you'll vote who you really identify with.

Consider: Clinton and Obama have nearly identical voting records (well, when he shows up to vote or doesn't vote "present"). According to reports, Obama is more liberal than Clinton (not a bad thing) so if Obama, the more liberal candidate, doesn't get the nod, you'll go 180 degrees and vote for Hucklebee or Mormon Romney? You will vote to "re-write the Consititution in God's terms"? To ban choice and legislate bedroom behavior? For more wars and tax cuts for the rich?

You logic, or lack of it, reveals your true identity.

thanx to cnn for the extra attention for the hillary campagne

Next Stop: SUPER TUESDAY!!!!!!

Florida, California, New Jersey, New York, Arkansas… etc… etc…etc..

Way to go Senator HRC!

CNN seems to not want Hillary to gain any momentum. It's all doom and gloom reporting about the Clintons. Seems CNN has the " Runaway bride" syndrome.
Similair to the 'Reality TV' and the "good entertainment" formula.

Your headlines make the general demeanor of CNN obvious.

Mo,

Obama lied to everyone about his team not having anything to do with fueling the race issue. He deliberately waited until all the damage was done, i.e. polls in his favor (African Americans) before he finally admitted in the last debate that it was his team who had indeed fueled a non-issue based on no evidence. He continues to remain silent regarding those anti-Hillary Spanish ads even as he condemns the other candidates for the same type of dirty actions. Thank goodness the Latino population of Nevada rebelled.

Not once has he fired anyone on his team for their bad-faith actions. More often than not he makes excuses.

I'm not condemning the man, I just think that overlooking his actions and putting him on a pedestal is not right either. I certainly don't condone all of Clinton's actions either.

And as long as the media continues to give him a pass, he will continue to think he walks on water.

I can't wait until South Carolina, and if Clinton wins I'm voting republican and I don't care 4 which one.

The trouble with CNN, is their candidate is losing. Hiliary Clinton will become our next President. No Republican, no obama. It is the people, not CNN or MSNBC who will choose. The other candidates, Republican or Democrat will beat her. Its time to get use to it.

Golden rule

RECOUNT when Hillary wins.

United vote when Obama wins

Golden rule

Judge obama as a candidate with white voters. judge his as a black man with black voters.

Golden rule

Headline that clinton CONTINUALLY has 'problems' over this and that. Fail to mention that it NEVER changes the VOTE . The media doesnt get to CONTROL the vote.

Golden rule :

Obama got CRUSHED in the latino vote, in spite of a strong arm union endorsing him.

SPIN IT so that Obama doesnt look as HUMILIATED as he should .

Guess what? South carolina is a PRIMARY.

THATS RIGHT, A CLOSED PRIVATE VOTE.

Get pollsters to ask people publically who they vote for. Public peer pressue = Obama.

IF YOU ARE BLACK AND VOTE AGAINST OBAMA YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO YOUR OWN RACE.

Sneak off and vote for clinton. Come out and tell the exit pollster you voted for OBAMA.

Hillary Clinton is a political hack riding her husband Bill's coattails… the same guy who humiliated her by receiving felatio from an intern in the Oval Office 10 years ago. As a proud Democrat, I don't want a royal family—especially the Clintons—back in the White House.

The republicans must be very happy with recent developments in the democratic party…

Eric, I'm an Obama nut but I do agree, she at least has a brain. My only fear is that she thinks her brain is best. Still, if she wins, well, let's at least hope Romney doesn't, because he's the only one that could beat her out of that group of nitwits.

If you hate CNN so much, why come here then Hillary Donkeys.

Senator Barack Obama has won more delegates in Nevada than Hillary despite the Clinton's shameless smear tactics and her "victory". So there!
Yes we can! Keep hopes up!

Cath– the most hilarious part of voting based on race is the Barak is just as white as he is black. If people read his biography they would find that his mother is white and he was raised by his mother and her white family. So if people are thinking he "gets" the black experience think again. His father was AFRICAN, not a black american. A black man from Kenya does not have the same experiences of a black american. On neither side of his family is Obama "connected" with African Americans, but he plays that card because it is convenient and there a few people who will fall for it. Hillary and all the other candidates have just as much expose to black issues as Obama. Vote the issues.. Please.

McKinnon,

You must be listening too much Rush Limbaugh and the right wing media machine. Otherwise, you would have known, as a Senator, Hillary Clinton has voted along the side of the Republicans more often than even the so called blue dog democrats. She has been compromising with Republicans in almost all defense and national security matters. She even had a joint health care study done with Newt Gingrich, who did every thing he could to bring down her husband. Either you're disguise republican trying to win democratic support or naive, who forms his opinion based on Right wiing talk show hosts, who are paid by the big businesses.
What is imporatnt at this juncture; continue war in Iraq or finding an exit plan? McCain wants to stay there until victory is at hand. Do you want to define what victory is or you would let McCain define that?

I keep seeing that black voters are snubbing Clinton (the white candidate).
There is no news about how many white voters are choosing Clinton because she is white.

Why wouldn't the Hispanics vote for Clinton? She goes on the campaign trail in Iowa talking about how illegal immigration is bad but then campaigns in the west and tells them all to just come on over the border because theirs millions of tax paying americans who are eager to pay their way. Hillary is a joke.

Wow this is the second time that CNN is pulling this "potentially troubling news for Hillary" crap. Same thing happened after Michigan. CNN, besides the fact that failing logic is your potentially troubling development as a news organization, realize the obvious: if Hillary keeps winning with these margins, she'll easily land the nomination. Beyond that, stop with all this reporting about identity politics. It just causes unnecessary animosity among your viewers and readers.

I am appalled about how MUCH CNN is focusing on the NEGATIVE outcomes of the win – both in New Hampshire and Nevada – downplaying the WINS she made! Nothing with Obama -

Obama lost big with women
Obama lost big with hispanics
Obama lost big with the middle-class or under

FOCUS On these would you CNN? America's Most Trusted News???

I'd rather vote for John Edwards than for Hillary!!!

Hillary Clinton does not need to win S. Carolina to win the nomination. Jesse Jackson won S. Carolina in the primaries back in 1988, enough said!

CNN, stop trying to sway voters/stir up more tension with race!

How can the media spin this so much. UGH!!!
Hillary won fair and square.

Why is everyone so surprised and why is it so news worthy that African Americans vote for one of their own? After so many years since slavery was outlawed (thank God for that), they still try to get benefits by any means they can, including affirmative action in schools and colleges. And now they think that they can get ahead if they have a black president, regardless of how inexperienced this president might be or how much another candidate might do for them despite not being black! Until African Americans stop this manner of thinking and acting, they will still in most parts of the country be regarded as second class citizens! Of course not on the West Coast or the East Coast where they are truely regarded as equal to all others, just as they should be, but the rest of America still doubts whether they will ever step up to the plate and think and act like others.

Hopefully most of America will see that Obama is not the experienced president that we need so desparately now! Who ever you vote for, weather democrat or republican, hopefully you will vote for someone with experince and something more to offer than the empty word "change"!

The Democrats are fortunate to have three highly capable candidates in Clinton, Obama and Edwards. Any of them would make an excellent president. Clinton is in a position familiar to many women in a business environment: under a microscope, subject to hypercritical attention and unreasoning hostility, with a large audience wishing for her to fail. If she gets the nomination she will have earned it; if she doesn't, everyone now taking the cheap shots at her will be making them at Obama, or whomever the nominee is. Democrats need to attend to their own business and not be swept along by the hatred and negativity of the bigots in yesterday's party.

CNN's analysis of NV result and its implications for S.C. are elementary – they are not Clinton bashing or biased in favour of Obama. Clinton supporters need to get real and enjoy the win, which is a blow to Obama given his so-called momentum.
The race for the nomination is too close to call and will likely go beyond Super Tuesday.
Within the context of such a tight race, it's hardly surprising that the two camps are campaigning hard and pointing out each others' perceived weak points. Race and gender are not, de facto, weak points. Moreover, both candidates are benefitting in black (Obama) and female(Clinton) constituencies. Of course, neither will be sufficient to carry either to the White House.
If democrats are serious about change, the petty rivalries of the respective camps need to be set to one side and all democrats will need to unite to elect whichever one wins the nomination.
They are both viable candidates and either represents an historical opportunity for American people. Some of the posts on this thread purport to come from democrats saying they will not vote for one or other. That's great news for the republicans, who must be laughing their heads off – and that is shocking given the state of their party.
Clinton and Obama are not perfect, but surely one of them would represent some form of real change from the past 8years, which has seen America's standing in the global community diminished due to a dubious war and a seeming attempt to be the world police. Furthermore, both of these candidates seem to recognise a real need to focus primarily on national rather than international issues, which can hardly be more relevant in the current climate.
This is a call to all democrats and independants to unite and give America a chance to heal itself with a new party, a new president, a new era .

this coverage is ridiculous

I'm going for Obama in 2016 after his 8 years of experience as a Vice President. If CNN can't learn to be less like FOX's "fair and balanced" coverage, I will be watching MSNBC during the next 16 years.

Clinton/Obama

CNN should be ashamed.

You are biased and really disgusting. The lady has won Nevada and you are still glorifying your HUSEIN OBAMA in his miserable loss!!!

YOU ALL ARE SICK!!!

Can CNN explain why Ron Paul who came out 2nd in Nevada is receiving less media coverage than Guliani and Thompson who came out 5th and 6th in Nevada? Your slogan is “We report & you decide” and “keeping them honest” yet your station is picking and choosing on whom you want to report. Guliani and Thompson are getting more media coverage than Mr. Ron Paul, Shame on you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

It cracks me up (sad actually) how polarizing Hillary is. Well, get over it. She is smart, experienced, hard working and just downright competent. That's why she is winning. Miles apart from that dim cowboy we've let play in the white ranch house. Sure there are experienced Republicans running as well, but their ideology sucks. If voting for a dynasty (this time around) means voting for someone competent and progressive – then Long Live the Queen!

Let's drop all the current issues for a second and get back to something everyone made a big deal about a few months ago: Which candidate has the best chance of winning in the general election?

I voted for George W. Bush twice, largely because I have come from an upper-middle class family who has always voted for the Republican party. Now, however, I am 26 years old and open to looking at the issues rather then voting for a particular party. I think it is almost important to note that I am an evangelical Christian, although I disagree with the notion that real Christians only vote a particular way. Sorry Mr. Dobbs. Anyway, all in all you could class me as one of those independent voters who could still go either way.

All of this being considered, I know Hillary supporters are very passionate about her ability to lead the country. But, I find it interesting that Democrats are willing to take the gamble (if she is their candidate) of having such a divisive candidate for this particular election. I know I am only one voter, but a candidate like Obama would make me vote for the Democratic party for the first time in my life, while someone as divisive as Hillary would make me vote for the other party. I feel, and I am assuming most Hillary supporters will disagree with me on this, that Barack is much more willing to reach out to people like me, who cherishes their faith while leaning to the left on issues like Iraq, immigration, education, and so on. Maybe in theory Hillary does as well. I just don't feel that someone who, after losing to Barack in Iowa classified former Republicans like me as people "who have seen the light." Comments like that will make me "see the right" come November.

congratulations with your campagne CNN

It's a shame that a lot of African-Americans are voting based on the color of a candidate's skin. Why not vote based on merit? Compare the two candidates based on their work. Then people would realize that the Clintons did a lot for the African-American population, which is why Bill Clinton was actually referred to by some as the "first black president".

I am a visitor to your country and i must say you election process is interesting.I applaud Obama For the fight he is putting up against Hillary and bill Clinton with a card that is stacked heavily against him. If America want real change i hope you will look at this race carefully and support Obama.CNN continue your impartial coverage of these events and GOD BLESS AMERICA…

As a white man I will not vote for Clinton. Not because she is white or a female but because she does not have the right judgement to be president. She is a intelligent, but so am I.
As a Iraq veteran, I will gladly support Obama. Not because he is black, or male . I'm supporting Obama because out of all of the democrats running, he will be the best commander in chief. If you vote for anyone just because of their gender or race you are a fool. The world is the way it is because Bush “did not get it”. He didn’t understand what it took to be president.

I knew this would happen. Black votes are voting for Obama because of the color of his skin … isnt that the sort of thing we have been fighting against?

Race should not be a reason to vote or not vote for someone!

Ellen- Hillary ran– The Task force for healthcare reform, Arkansas Education standards committee, arkansas advocates for children and families and the country as an active participant in her husbands administration. … and Obama? Other than voting "present" in the senate representing illinois, what has he actually accomplished. Running for president is the first big thing he's done. I will admit he has done that well, but it is still his first big event.

We need a candidate that can bring the country together and not continue to divide the country. Hillary is a polarizing figure playing the race and gender card. Women are voting for her because she's a woman. She's not the best qualified candidate. Americans are voting for Obama because he's the best qualified candidate. Obama has no reason to play the race card. He's not running on race; he's running on change and unity and inclusion. Ambition doesn't qualify as experience. Obama has a vision for America . . . voting for Hillary is not a vote for change.

I THOUGHT THIS WASN'T SUPPOSE TO BE A BLACK AND WHITE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE AND AFTER SEEING SOME OF THE REMARKS MADE THAT IS SURE WHAT THIS RACE IS TURNING INTO.
I LIKE BOTH OF THEM, BUT I AM GETTING TURNED OFF BY REMARKS THAT MR. OBAMA HAS BEEN SAYING LATELY.
AND I DIDN'T THINK SOMEONE RUNNING FOR THIS HIGH OFFICE IS SUPPOSE TO ACT LIKE THAT!
Thanks,

It is amazing to me how the media outlets of NBC, CBS and ABC have not given Senator Obama equal airtime. Hilary Clinton has been forced down the viewing American publics throat over the past 3 weeks. Interview after interview of Clinton, only confirms the uphill struggle that Senator Obama faces to win the nomination. Clinton is no more than Bill Clinton in a dress, with no new ideas for this country. And as far as expierence, she has none. Senator Obama has more integrity and original ideas in his little finger than Clinton has in her ever widening pant suits. Give me a break! Give Obama his fair share of air time

BILL FROM MONTGOMERY VERY SMART COMMENT…THANKS…HARVARD GRAD HUH?????PLEASE

A win by any other name is still a win.

(At least put this in Moderation so I don't cry.)

I guess Hillary has a lot of stock in CNN, because it seems they pay alot of attention to what she says. CNN also plays up Bill alot too. Honestly, how can you vote for a person who is involved with a person of his background. I think a recount should be made just on percentages, because I dont trust the Clintons.

BARACK OBAMA WILL BRING CHANGE TO THIS NATION…AMEN

What makes people think Hillary will lose S.C. Chalk another one up for President Clinton????????????????

HIllary is the most feared woman in our Government, not Oprah Winfrey.

The media is well aware of all the fraud and Uhmm knows who the winner is before the votes have been counted go figure, WAKE UP!! people its just a game to them while we give our lives away. STUPID!

Boo hoo hoo..my Obama didn't win, and Hillary is so bad and mean……….

Is this what Obama supporters want to show the rest of us that you can't stand the heat if your candidate doesn't win everything because this is what you sound like?
You can't even admit that just maybe, perhaps people do think that someone else is more experienced than Obama or classified as a better candidate?

And it might be nice if we are going to discuss candidates that we stop talking about the race card, which to me is being played more by the Obama campaign than the Clinton one and start acting like these people are people first and classified as to their skin color or gender last.

And forgive me, but since when does Hillary have to take the blame for what happened when her husband was in office under the mandate of working with a republican controlled Congress. This constant hammering of "I am never voting for her because Bill gave us NAFTA" or "I am never voting for her because Bill did (fill in your own excuse here).
Does Obama need his supporters sounding like the schoolyard whiner who doesn't get his way and grabs up his bat and ball and runs home pouting? It seems to you Obama loses because of big bad Hillary. I thought real people and lots of them had to go out and participate in those caucuses. Or do those people get ignored as they exercised their right?

Is CNN trying to take side with Obama? Otherwise, why would the winning in Nevada be troublesome for Clinton, as headlined by CNN. What's so special about SC primary?. Even if she doesn't win SC because of the black vote, Clinton is still going to win the nomination, as poll suggets.
Black vote is important to win SC but not to win the nomination. Therefore, if anything, Clinton's Nevada win should be warning to Obama that more black politics he's going to play, he will loose the other minority and main stream votes.

I am so tired of the people voting for Hillary just because she is a woman. There will be a women president soon, but PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE HILLARY!!! There are more qualified WOMEN out there that are not so polarizing. Ladies we will never have a consistent presidential presence if we put Hillary in office!!!

The Clinton's used the African Americans in 1992 and 1996. He was called the "First Black President. Now, in 2007, they are using the Hispanics. If Hillary wins, I guess that she will be called "The First Hispanic." All the Clinton's care about is themselves and the power that comes with it. They could care less about us.

I want the real thing.

Obama 08!

I am a descendant of Abraham Lincoln. He'd be rolling in his grave if he saw this slanted coverage of the election. Ron Paul is a HIUGE story here. COVER IT PLEASE!!!!

CNN, Please post my blog, it was funny and not mean.(well maybe just a little)
come on PLEEEEEEEEZE????????????
I just Love the Media I"M sorry I insulted CNN…
And you posted Tom Davie's post, why not me.. your giving me a complex and I'm going to need expensive therapy and I can't afford it until, you know Hillary gets in.

David, I support what you said. I am a White African (Kenyan) male with the right to vote in the US. I liked Clinton before this primary but given their divisive politics they play and their roughness, they remind me of George Bush. To every sensible democrat out there, if the democrats elect Clinton, please, please please, let's get together, come out strong and at least vote for McCain. We cannot allow these destroyers to spoil this country just like Bush did. Dynasties are not good for America. Obama is the candidate of choice.

Not to worry, Hillary will let it being known that she's a decendent of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings, thus making her Black. Most people don't know it, but according to Hillary and Billary, The story of Rosa parks was actually based on Hillary's life in Mongtomery.

As a black man I will not vote for Obama. Not because he is black but because he does not have the experience to be president. He is a great speaker, but so am I.
As a Iraq veteran, I will gladly support Hillary. Not because she is white, female or a Clinton. I'm supporting Hillary because out of all of the democrats running, she will be the best commander in chief. If you vote for anyone just because of their skin color you are a fool. The world is the way it is because Bush “did not get it”. He didn’t understand what it took to be president. Let’s give Obama another two terms in the senate and then see what he is all about. He is young so no big rush

We support Hillary, no matter what CNN says ! Go girl.

IF HILLARY WINS NOMINATION, REPUBLICAN I WILL BECOME..

WHY CANT YOU TALK ABOUT RO PAUL COMING IN SECOND??????

Why CNN focuses so much on the racial issue is beyond me, and worse, I think that focus is causing a divisiveness amongst voters, and even the candidates, that I suspect would otherwise not be there. I say congrats to Hillary and bull to all this stuff about her being a corporate candidate and other such crap. She is a well educated well informed candidate, and no one spinning crap is going to catch my attention. Likewise, Obama is a fab public speaker, and if I have any concerns about him, it is not that he is inexperienced, but rather, I would like him to speak more to specifics, I sometimes sense that he is not familiar with the details of matters. I like John M and Ron Paul on the republican side – any veteran gets my respect, and at least a fair op to speak their case, and I think RP speaks to some of the root issues of independance that Bush/cheney and cronies have demolished.

Great scots just admit it, your wrong CNN. First you were wrong about NH, then Mich, now Nevada (oooh that endorsement really helped). How on earth is John Kerry a big endorsement for Obama, he lost against an unpopular president during an unpopular war!!! I think it will remain a somewhat close race between Obama and Clinton but for once stop trying to think of some miniscule nonesense about her win and instead report the whole picture. For instance, despite Obama's "big endorsement" half of those union voters voted for Clinton. Oh but wait..then Clinton might gain an edge and u wouldnt have anything to report on.

When you report the news well watch, when you report the biased news, you lose us. Wonderful "Political team" you got there CNN.

Congratulations Nevada! Another lying, career politician heading towards the White House. Do we really need ANOTHER 4 years of the same old? Hillary says whatever she needs to win, period. She will say and do anything to get into the White House and get what she wants. Why are people still falling for this? Please think long and hard about where our Country is headed and what kind of person you want to lead you there! I can and will only vote for Obama. There is literally no one else I would trust to bring this country back from the brink. Hillary will only take us right over the edge and into the abyss! Please, please, please think about it!

Black in KC – And what has Hillary ran?

As a black woman I can say that I will cast my vote for either Hillary Clinton or for Huckabee. I was extremely excited about Obama, but when he endorsed the mayor of Durham, NC without research into his past, I decided that his judgement could not be trusted and began to look closer.

There are very few candidates that are exciting to me, but I am sick and tired of seeing the president (coughPelosi) and the press beat up on women. Bush has been punking Pelosie since she took office and the press seems intent to do the same to Hillary.

Bill should stop speaking for Hillary they say, but not a word about Michelle Obama speaking in support for her husband. I think that only the candidate him or herself should be giving speaches. Let the candidate do all of the talking — I have found that it is easier to explain your own misspoken words than that of another without the use of telepathy.

Hillary, hold your head high and enjoy this victory regardless of the headlines. A win is a win. Looking at the biased headlines and skewed polls, I would say that right now you are the one to beat. If you weren't a threat you wouldn't be under such a strong attack.

And honestly, when was the last time that SC went to a Democrat in the election?

R.S.V.P Jan 20th, 2009, for Hillary Clinton's Inaugural Ceremony.

Hillary all the way.

republican are having fun

I wish we could deal with reality. Obama as the democratic candidate garauntees a republican president. Not because he's black, but becuase he has never run a city, never run a state, never run a company. What evidence does anyone have of his actual ability to lead or get things done? 2nd point- I wish CNN would stop spreading the false notion and all black people vote together. No ever talks about who will get the white vote. Black people have just as much commen sense and personal opinions as everyone else. We can choose our own candidate we actually have enough intellect to consider factors other than race.

John January 19, 2008 5:47 pm ET

After Obama's attack machine distorted the truth and painted the Clintons as racists, why are you surprised African-American voters have rallied around Obama? This was Obama's tactic all along.
______________________________________________________________

John, it was her own statements that raised the eyebrow of many. Clyburn from S.C. was the first to go public about the concern.

The Clintons are and have been doing this kind of thing for years.

Her mistake this time she is disenfranchising the African American Vote.
She will not get in office without it.

Bloomberg will run and Gobble their support to guarantee a GOP victory.

We need to turn the page.

Bob Johnson admitted that he was wrong, Hillary's wealthy supporter. So how can you say she was correct by standing by his comment.

Magic, and Bob Johnson and others are not speaking for anyone but the rich.
Both have made million through the exploitation of the poor like many from the upper 3% of America.

her win will guarantee a GOP victory

Thanks to the DEM divider.

Obama 2012, Still the same

AMEN – Rebecca!!! My Thoughts exactly!

Go Hillary—-show them what your made of, men are scared of a women president. Hillary is the BEST qualified by far to run this country. Look what a man did with the country in the 7 years—true NIGHTMARE!!!

She'll lose SC. Big deal. I'm sure she's not staying up nights crying over it.

I have to add this. The black people in this country only make up 25% of the population, 30% at the most. So why is it troubling. All the blacks in this country are not going to vote for Obama. They've got more sense.

Do the Blacks who vote for Obama do so because of racism or because they believe he will be a better president than Clinton? Racism is not only what Whites think about Blacks. It is also what Blacks think about Whites.

Just a thought…. I am a white woman, over 50, single mom that has raised 4 independent and educated children, and worked her way up from poverty to professional. Of course I would love to see a "woman" become President, but PLEASE, all of you Democrats out there, let's not do the same thing we have done for the past 2 elections!! Remember??? The country was incredibly DIVIDED and still is…remember those "Red" states and "Blue" states??? We need a candidate that can appeal to voters "other" than Democrats. Hillary is incredibly polarizing…and I tell you that from personal experience… I am the only Democrat from a family of Rupublicans. None of my family members would consider voting for Hillary Clinton. In fact, they would vote for anyone else because they dislike her so much. No disrespect to Ms. Clinton, but we need to win the White House this year… Define for yourself the differences in the so called experience argument. Can you count Hillary's experience as a first lady?? Mr. Obama may be younger, but he also has lots of "experience." After all, it takes a lot of courage and perservereance to even be competative with the wife of a former and very popular president of the US. It is a new day and a different time in history, people! A vote for Hillary will not bring back the "Clinton Years." She may be a "doer" in the US senate, but as a President, she must be able to inspire the entire congress, not to mention the US citizens, to support her. We need a leader that can, most importantly, bring partisans together in order to get things accomplished for the good of the country. A united country is a stronger country in this very complex world. Imagine a US President that could garner the respect of the world community with an added potential to bring world leaders together. I am supporting Barack Obama because I believe he has the best chance to unite our country and the best chance to WIN in November!!

That's good. Because it only sends the white voters out to make sure they are registered and vote for her. The interviewed a couple on TV and they said that Obama's alluding to race made them upset. That there is more to race in this campaign and if that's what he wants that's what he will get.

So I guess he cooked his own goose.

Obama is the best candidate for the job. I guess you don't mind Bill running the country again? Bill is mighty visible and vocal lately. So, who do you think would run the White House if she gets in? Go Obama, you can do this. Illinois is waiting for you, our favorite son.

CNN's once untainted reputation is ruined by these bias journalists. CNN wants nothing more then racial tension so that they can say they were the first to "break the story" when something serious happens as a result of all their hype! CNN is fueling a fire that could potentially explode if they continue to exploit and exaggerate the issues! CNN (and Wolf Blitzer, in particular) should be ashamed! And, there goes YOUR nomination for any emmy award for political journalism!

On a better note: VIVA Hillary!

wait a minute….. potential trouble for Hillary?

What about potential trouble for Obama? 64% Hispanics went to Hillary when only 26 went for Obama?

How's this potential trouble for Obama?

So, is this to say that African-Americans are doing what caucasions in New Hampshire were too ashamed to admit to pollsters what they were doing, voting on the basis of skin color?

Great news for Hillary…American people are smart people…i think media have big problem in this election …CNN-FOX , Media its pro OBAMA [CNN-FOX] but American people belive to HILLARY ,because she its smart and America right now need smart leader…period…SORRY Media…

Agron from GERMANY [EUROPE]

I have started to switch to MSNBC because of the election coverage When ever
CNN can ,the push Obama – Go back to reporting and stop offering your views
You do not repersent the average American
Clinton in 2008

I am happy the Hillary is getting the votes she deserves. Both Clintons have taken care of the working class no matter what their race is. Anyone voting for Obama should look at his voting record and decide what he is after. He only thinks of himself not the hard working middle class African Americans that he thinks should vote for him. He and his wife are something else, ME! ME! ME! For a Jr. Senator he thinks he knows everything.

It's disappointing to see black people waste their votes. Blacks should not vote based on race. Hillary is a better candidate with the most to offer all people. Obama needs to gain more experience. Vote on somebody for what they can do for the country, not because they are black, because if the whites start voting on Clinton because she's white, she will win everytime because there are way more white people than there are black people in this country.

The Democrats are giving the Republicans a huge gift. Hillary can be defeated in November by the GOP. There are people out there who will do anything to see the Clintons lose – they will pull out all the stops!

Obama would dominate the November Elections.

Thanks for the early, early christmas present Dems!

CNN you can't win, Obama supporters think your anti-Obama. Clinton supporters think your anti-Clinton. Edwards supporters think your anti-Edwards. Ron Paul supporters think your anti-Paul. Independents and uncommitted, well their not quite sure what to think. To them I say, "either fish or cut bait."

MOST OF THE HISPANIC VOTERS WILL NOT VOTE FOR A BLACK CANDIDATE BECAUSE OF THEIR EDUCATION LEVEL….LOOK AT IOWA…HE WON THERE AND IT IS 98% WHITE. i AM WHITE AND EDUCATED. I LIKE WHAT BARACK OBAMA STANDS FOR. i SEE BARACK AS A MULTI RACE CANDIDATE, I FEEL CAN BRING CHANGE IN A POSITIVE WAY.

What has Hillary Clinton ever done for Black Americans? It is ludicrous for her to expect Blacks to support her when a fantastic candidate like Barack Obama is running. It would be stabbing Obama in the back if Blacks chose a white candidate with zero experience with the Black community over Obama. Her husband is not running for President – she is, and she has no track record or history with Black folks except of course, her recent attempts to denigrate Martin Luther King and have her surrogates constantly bring up Obama's past use of drugs and use subliminal racial epithets to make him look small. This nasty, mean spirited, typical Clinton mud slinging is alientating BOTH Black and White Americans! I am a black female, excited and enthusiastic to be able to vote for Barack Obama, and what's more ALL of my white friends feel the same as I do.

Go Hillary, go! And CNN…

your Obama bias is showing…shame on you!

To poster Michelle, your Republican friends don't know anthing about Obama, which is why they say they'll vote for him. Like every campaign in this country, as soon as voters get to know a candidate support drops, often precipitously — just look at Giuliani's numbers. Obama is soon going to be way out of his depth and all the empty, tired rhetoric of Change and Yes, we can isn't going to help. By the way, maybe those who like Obama can explain why he takes support from Excelon (supports dumping nuclear waste in Yucca), why he voted 129 times present while in the state legislature for a host of important issues, why he's been so unsuccesful getting bipartisan support for legislation in the US Senate, why he denied that his NH State Chairman was a lobbyist, when it was true; and the list goes on and on.

This is my sixth presidential election, and this is by far the worst group of candidates to select from, regardless of party affiliation…

It bothers me how CNN is trying to spin Michigan's "primary" to say anything about the candidates' strengths or weaknesses. Voters here responded so many different ways due to the sanctions–many raided and voted "strategically" in the other party to make the front-runners look weak (probably a big reason uncommitted and Romney did so well) and several political junkies were disgusted and chose not to vote at all (I was an election inspector in Michigan and several voters commented on their approach). This story takes weak-at-best evidence and tries to make it look like Hillary's a fluke–sorry CNN, but Michigan's an outlier at best; look somewhere else for evidence before you broadcast your conspiracy as news.

Black people seem to be the most racist of all…what's that about. History is just that History move on already,

Oh my God in heaven, they're rigging it for Hillary and Romney. We're going to be corporate slaves. God help us all.

Emily:

Obama has done no such thing. It doesn't help him at all to play the race card. He is looking to be President for all Americans. Don't be silly like Hillary. Her husband gave us NAFTA and i am having to lay off people right now because of it. People need to wake up! I think he is doing well, considering he has to run against two 4 other established candidates:

Bill Clinton
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
&
The Media

Why is everyone saying to stop the race issue? Afraid of the truth?
Not to be rude, but it is a race issue! And will be for the years to come!

And for those who say Hillary/Bill Clinton did a lot for the blacks, I am pretty sure Abraham Lincoln did a lot more….

THE ENDORSEMENT FROM THAT UNION FOR OBAMA WAS FROM ALOT OF ILLEGAL WORKERS.

OBAMA 08

I participated in the Nevada Democratic Caucus. I am a black woman. I am an Obama supporter but planned to vote Democrat regardless of the nominee. I was appalled at the behavior of the Clinton campaign workers and volunteers. They treated non Clinton supporters rudely and obnoxiously.

If Clinton is the nominee, I will vote Republican or third party. There is no way I am supporting a campaign which allows such reprehensible behavior from it's supporters, volunteers and workers!!!!

Sorry, CNN. you have not published my comments " Satirically!!" Keep dividing America.

The gist of that was. Obama's overwhelming win in South carolina without equal weightage from all races (whites and blacks) will spell a death knell on his dream for White House. Overwhelming african american (in limited color sense) vote in SC will send whites and hispanics to their shells and they will en masse vote for Hillary in other states……

Regards

Yes We Can… Beat Barack!
He's all talk and NO ACTION.

keep crying Obama followers. Even if she loses South Carolina just think about california.

The unions hate Reagan. Therefore, Hillary got an unexpected push because of Obama's purported praise for Ronald reagan. But, the truth of the matter is, Obama got more of the union vote. And, he did not alienate them, even with his "recognition" of Reagan. Obama's folk must sell that point in the coming elections.

What won for Hillary in Nevada is was the LATINO vote. She beat Obama 3-1 with the Latinos. I was shocked to find out that Lations have 22% of the registered Nevada voters now. African-Americans only got 13%. Obama beat her 2-1 amongst African-American voters. And, there are a lot more African-Americans in South Carolina than Latinos.

Anyway, I'm tremendously encouraged that Obama has indicated that African-Americans will support him over the "establishment" candidate. THAT, should play big. Particularly when it sinks in that the Atlanta Constitution endorsed Obama, today.

Hey, he's on a roll. And, yes, for Hillary Clinton, there is "potentially troubling news" in the Nevada win.

Hank

Why should anyone complain ?

The last 2 votes, michigan and nevada, Clinton has won more than all the other COMBINED. Not just obama.

There is NO WAY obama can HYPE his way into swinging votes for super tuesday now. He is backed into the 'i can get the black vote box' .

His poor showing with women and latinos has crushed him.

Hillary cried, played the sympathy card and got people's attention. Hubby Bill played the race card and derailed a clean campagin by Obama. Bill cried voter suppression when he feared that Hillary would lose in Nevada. While she's a woman, Hillary has no experience even though she has misled the American public to think that being First Lady sets her up for Commander in Chief. I'm a woman but won't vote for this one. She pits minority groups against each other and South Carolina will be no different. Obama has a message of inclusion vs Hillary's single focus on herself. She's ambitious but ambition won't fix the problems that the country has. Obama has run a clean campaign but when you're dealing with the mud and muck from the Clintons playing the race card, that says they'll do anything to get a vote. America's had enough of the Clintons and their scandal plagued White House. A vote for Hillary is NOT a vote for change but a vote for the past good 'ol boy network with Bill running the White House. It's time to move on. If HIllary gets the vote, a Republican will get mine.

Same Header you had when she won Michigan, which by your own tabulations Hillary BEAT Obama by DOUBLE-DIGITS.

Note that there is no "Troubling news for Obama", despite the fact that he attracted far fewer Hispanics than Clinton and that his extreme unpopularity with Hispanics will spell huge losses in Ca. and Az.

She won, she's won three in a row and right now Obama is a one Caucus wonder.

I'm a staunch Democrat, I'll admit that. However it does not take a rocket scientist to realize that Hillary Clinton doesn't "honestly" care about "anybody", but Hillary Clinton. I thought the purpose of being president is to be a voice "of the people". I'm an Obama supporter (and yes he does have flaws). However, at least his objective is to be "of the people".

Hillary says she's "ready to lead on Day One"…..but realistically…..Hillary (nor Bill) will give a rats (insert) about "anyone else" on Day One.

Vote for Hillary if you want….but don't say that I didn't tell you…..

Hey Citizen for a change –

A Hillary White house might not meet the true definition as a dynasty -
but it sure resembles a closed system.

BUSH – CLINTON – CLINTON – BUSH – BUSH – CLINTON (looks pretty closed to me!)

A Vote for Hillary is not a vote for change. A Vote for Hillary is a vote for the status quo!

I am an independent and I cannot believe anyone would vote for Hillary over Obama or Edwards. You want 4 more years of bickering and finger pointing, then sure go ahead and vote for Hillary. America has got to get its head on straight.
We have several great candidates, but I am sorry, Hillary is not on the list.

I think this article could just as easily read "Potentially Troubling News in Obama's Nevada Loss" … look at the stats … Clinton got Latino voters 3-1 … not good for Obama in the West and Florida!

She is "in it to win" … and it looks like she will!

It's just not good enough for CNN to congratulate the Clinton campaign and post a positive story about her win, is it?? You've got to have some negative story lead the Ticker… and an old story with a new spin at that. I'm sure this one will stay up for at least 48 hours, just like last time. CNN, YOU ARE SO BIASED.

Are you people stupid or just insane? CNN makes the headlines "Potential trouble for hillary" as a way to support Hillary. They are not Behind Obama. Did you see a cnn video bite of Barack On an airplane being funny? Did you see a heart warming picture of Obama on CNN with him next to an angelic child, and then ask viewers to write in with their funniest comment on the picture? No, you didn't, but they did that for Hillary.

What have we seen about Obama? RACE< RACE<RACE< RACE<RACE<RACE<RACE<RACE. The ugliest most racial side of White Democrats has been shown. And I don't mean all white democrats, I know that many of them are not prejudiced, and the greater majority are still good people deep down, even if they do have prejudices.

However, when you start bringing the concept of racial contest into the mix, it doesn't matter if you're a little prejudiced or a lot, because racial contest force people to choose sides, and bring out the worst in us. Especially elections.

That said, Hillary will lose a substantial amount of African American support during the general election; but like another person here said, "We don't need them Negro's, Hillary should just forgot them all and give them what they deserve!"
Whatever that means– hope it doesn't involve more nooses.

Haha, oh lord, the blatant ugliness of it all. So funny that when a candidate comes around and starts talking about Unity and bipartisanship, the powers that be, Clinton's included, use fear of race, and the ugliness of hate, to divide and conquer.

But whether you be black or white, You can still make a huge difference and show Hillary that her tactics wont be accepted.

CONVINCE OBAMA TO RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT IF HILLARY WINS THE GENERAL ELECTION. HE HAS THE MONEY, THE ORGANIZATION AND THE SUPPORT. HOW WOULD HILLARY STAND UP AGAINST REPUBLICANS IF BARRACK RUNS AS AN INDEPENDENT.

WRITE TO HIS ELECTION NOW AND ENCOURAGE HIM SO HE KNOWS THAT HIS SUPPORTERS WOULD SUPPORT HIM AS AN INDEPENDENT.

Did anyone ever stop and think about what Bin Laden said when all the trouble started that he was going to destroy the United States from the inside out ,so what would be a better way to do it than have a member of his group to be president.
If you read up on the runner up you will find out he at one time belonged to the same
Islamic Group as Bin Laden controls . Go for it Mrs. Clinton you got my VOTE.
I know that this will never be posted but I had to tell this anyway ,

I just wanna Remind OBAMA what MIKE HUCKABEE said ; "Running for office is like a full contact sport, so get ready recieve and give punches". I know we all want a clean process, but do not hesitate to give punches to HILLARY because everytime you soft on her BILL find some to distract people by going after you.
We are fired up ready for MONDAY DEBATE. GO OBAMA, YES WE CAN !

Bad sign for her, yes. But Nevada just told her that she is winning white voters and latino voters 3 to 1. Barack might win SC but lose the battle.

THANK GOD FOR THE HISPANIC VOTERS…YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only people with some sense. Thank god no Hispanic Candidate is running !

The only race issues are with Black People voting for a Black Candidate and the Media for always playing the race card…trying to stir the pot against Hillary.

GO Hillary GO!

The potentially troubling news regarding Hillarys win in Nevada is that Obama isnt doing so well!

She will take the White House and do away with the Republicants borrow and spend policy. Also, no more tax cuts for the rich! Time for the wealthy to pay their share! HA HAAAAAA!

If you want to stop the BUsh-Clinton pattern, you should have done it 8 years or 4 years ago, not now.
Don't you want to stop the Man-Man-Man-Man… pattern? Isn't it the right time for an outstanding woman to lead America?

Can we please stop with the race issues CNN? It's getting really annoying and is damaging your reputation.

AVIS PICKENS- you need to get this in the press. This is ridiculous!

It's not just the media that is playing the race card. Obama and his backers have been playing it all along and will continue to manipulate African Americans as long as they can get their vote.

"For Democrats, Obama the pick"

…the situation represents more than a mere opportunity; it imposes an obligation on the Democratic Party to offer the country a candidate who can inspire the American people, a candidate capable of addressing the many critical challenges, foreign and domestic, that will confront our next president and commander in chief.

At times of crisis, this country has always been blessed with strong, even visionary, leadership. But that has not been true for the last seven years. To the contrary, on almost every front we are suffering the consequences of slapdash, divisive leadership.

…[Barack Obama] has demonstrated an appeal across many of the lines that have divided America. That is a critically important attribute, because the scale of changes that must be made to correct America's course cannot be accomplished with majorities of 50 percent plus one.

Different moments in history require different types of leaders, and part of the art of picking a president is matching the person to the challenge and to the time. So while both Clinton and Obama would make very good presidents, Obama is the person; this is his time.

If Hillary wins the nomination, she should be smart enough to have Obama run with her! At least, the Republicans would never win!

Manzi,Your excellent grasp of the American vernacular,makes it plain that you should not vote.Remember Florida in 2000?Photo I.D. and the ability to communicate responsibly are the keys to freedom.The gaul of 12% of the voting public,to intimidate the other 88% by playing the "race card"is nothing less than pathetic.Why didn't the Blacks back an intelligent,well spoken American such as Alan Keyes?I ask you,"do you have no ses\nse of dignity?"I will never vote for ANYONE that does not respect EVERY race.

Why is no talking about Ron Paul, who is neck and neck with McCain, in South Carolina ????? Sure Romney is the winner, But…..Look what Ron Paul has done……I think it shows how the media keeps trying to push McCain down everyone's throats.

The Clinton's have been using African American's for years to their political advantage, now that there is an African American challenging her self percieved right to the Democratic nomination their pandering is bubbling to the surface for all to see.

The Republican establishment is suffering the same dilema with Huckabee and their pandering to the religous right. Now that the religous right has an actual canidate of their own the establishment is in full panic mode.

Congrats, Hillary! Please, keep on winning!! I'm black and I admire Obama but Hillary is on a winning streak based on her qualifications and experience. Blacks need to rally around Hillary. Don't forget Bill has been there for us and there's no reason now why Hillary won't be. Certainly not just because Obama, a black man, suddenly shows up on the radar from nowhere. And by the way, Oprah Winfrey needs to do some damage control for polarizing this race by straying from her talk show to endorsing Obama just because he's black! That sends the wrong signal to others about us black folk’s traditional loyalty and consistency!!

In my own opinion, CNN wants to put down the Clintons' machine. Same on them. They are getting to be like FOX. In the process of putting down the Clintons they are aiding whoever is against her. Is CNN trying to compete with the Clinton? Media should give us facts not their opinionated facts or manipulated facts. Too bad, I used to be a CNN fan but not anymore. Time to switch to MSNBC.

I have voted for every Democrat candidate for President since 1972, but I will never vote for Hillary.

No more Clintons or Bush's.

The Nevada Caucus was a fiasco! When I first arrived at my precinct, everyone was asked to sit with who they supported. When everyone was seated, we were told the voter registration list was "misplaced" and everyone present would have to re-register regardless of "proof" such as our registration cards. After about 1/2 of the people present had filled out new registration forms, it was announced that we didn't need to fill out new cards… just sign a make-shift form with our name, address & social security numbers! Finally, they came up with the official sign-in papers (in spanish) for everyone to sign-in on. If you aren't shocked enough … when it came time to vote, there were not enough ballots. All 28 Hillary supporters got ballots and about 1/2 of the 61 Obama supporters received ballots. The people who didn't get ballots were told to use scraps of paper. After the final vote was taken, nothing was said about how many delegates would represent either candidate from our precinct. We were just asked to pick up the chairs before we left! So much for any confidence in our caucus system!!!

if hillary wins the nomination for the democrat party, i will be voting for bloomberg. i know she will not be able to win this november… we are just handing over the white house to the republican again..

People are stupid. Hilary is not part of a dynasty. Look up the definition for the word dynasty and your going to want to slap yourself for being so foolish. The last name of a candidate is not relevant to their ability to run our nation. Get your heads out of the gutter and realize that America needs a new direction under a truly qualified president. Conservitive politics are not mean't for the 21st century so move over Republicans, America is ready for a change.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT '08.

Obama Won over many in nevada.

Romney got 96% of the morman Vote.

??? no news.

Senator reid and his son fail Hillary. She did not blow away Obama

S.C. Is a Key state that Obama will win from white and Black Votes.

If Hillary wins, the Democratic ticket will not win this fall by a Dem, Republican, and Ind. Vote. She disfranchised the African American vote in nevada.

S.C. She will find them to be people again!

Romney may get it.

If Obama Looses SC,

Bloomberg is going to enter the race to make sure Hillary a divider does not get into Office.

Women should be president. Hillary is not the best of choices when she has a record of dividing.

Obama 08

CNN was afraid of FOX (Faux) News …….so ….They now act like FOX _for their viewers. Hillary won in MI and NV even with the amount of minorities voting. How about a congrats. Maybe its time to block CNN along with faux news on my cable channel list. Spin Spin Spin. No wonder she does not talk to the press much.

BILL BENNETT Is a (insert adjective here). Send him home!

Well this probably won't get published but in the delegates awarded by the elections hillary and obama are tied, why don't cnn tell the real story, hillary may win by less than a couple of thousand votes, but the delegate count is the same. She is truly the establishment, and she is vying for the superdelegates, and i am tired of her and bill whining

Sorry Shannon – But Clinton has only one term more than Obama – this hardly counts as experience. And 8 years in the East Wing as social coordinator is hardly Political Experience! And do you you really think that Hillary Clinton is real – she changes her image to fit the polls more often than she changed hair styles in the 90's.

Shannon — Obama is underqualified and because of that he has to bring in outside people to help him win votes i.e. Oprah.

Since when Oprah has gone stinking so bad ?

You all don't get it. CNN has been Pro-Hillary all the freaking way. This is nothing but an attempt to alienate white voters and Latinos from Obama. I don't get folks who want to see a Clinton back in office after what they put the country through. This stupid article actually helps lower expectations for Hillary, so if she comes close it's a win for her. And all of you are like sheep falling for it and being led to the slaughter. The hard line Republicans are terrified of Obama and they know they can beat Hillary. Don't be so d*** simple. I'm sorry, but now this is really ticking me off.

Guess what – We won anyway! Congrats Hill – forget SC – on to Super Tuesday and the White House (again).

p.s. Congrats Mitt – the perfect opponent: Flip..Flop didn't go over too well last time.

This Latino from Chicago will NEVER vote for Hillary! What kind of record those she have? All these white women democrats that yap about her experience, what has she truly done!?!? NOTHING of substance! Yet, I read blogs about she is going to be the next president that she is a woman and there is nothing you can do about it! Yippeee! and you go girl! All the women who vote for her just because she is a woman will do nothing more then solidify a republican as the next president! You guys make fun and alienate Obama and his supporters! Well you won't like it when we become independents and vote for McCain.

We will all LOSE!

No more dynasties in the White House!

Hillary can't win the general election. Too many people feel she is a LIAR. She doesn't stand a chance against the Republicans and Independents. Waste your vote on her if you want.

HILLARY, I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MATTER WHAT THE HATERS SAY YOU ARE GOING TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY CLINTON 08

IMMIGRATION PROBLEM, TO MANY ILLEGAL PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT NEED TO LEARN TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF THE LAND.

Congratulations Sen. Clinton, the Filipinos will support you all the way

I am so proud of Hillary Clinton for stepping up to the plate and taking on a system that looks unfavorably upon a strong vital woman. She is the most qualified, she knows what she stands for, and shes real. Obama is underqualified and because of that he has to bring in outside people to help him win votes i.e. Oprah. A vote needs to be based on a candidates policy, not their gender or their race. As long as the next president can clean up the mess Bush Jr. created things will be heading in the right direction.

Alice Palmer knows what sort of politician Obama is. When are we going to see more talk about her and less talk about this straw-issue of race?

The Clintons' tactics may win Hillary the nomination, but she will not be elected. This couple have shown their true colors, and are dividing the Democratic party. '

Hey Melody,

You claim that the Democrats "PROJECT" racism onto the Republican party??

Come on!

Racism defines the Republcan party, and that has been true ever since Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Racists abandoned the Democratic party in droves then and were warmly accepted into the Republican party.

Facts are facts Melody.

If your white and have black supporters your pandering. If your black and have white supporters your not pandering. If your black and have black supporters you are the answer to all their dreams. It's great if you are black and have Oprah, bad if you are white and have Magic Johnson? If you are a senator who votes present rather then Yea/Nea you can't make mistakes,or can you?

First, I think I'll be making MSNBC my source for news on the presidential race. Obviously CNN cannot be counted on for fair and balanced reporting and that fact is shining through real clear now.

Secondly, unless African-Americans can demonstrate to me that Hillary Clinton is some hard-core racist for her comments (which I had no problem with and I am Black) to say that you would not support her should she become the nominee is about the stupidest thing I've heard since the days when Blacks thought Clarence Thomas should be on the supreme court just because he's Black – and we all know how that turned out.

Hillary '08!

I'm not sure Dr. King's dream is a reality yet. But, it's becoming clear that black folks have attained quite a bit of political intelligence. Just goes to show, you can't fool them forever. Democrats have been talking up the "black's friend" crap for decades. 53 years later, look where they (and the whole working class for that matter) are. Republicans have only had limited control of congress for the last eight years. 45+ years Democrat majority, Bill & the Dems brought us NAFTA, ruined the economic opportunity for most kids that can't afford college, and sold us out to the Asians, while brewing up a false economy that no president could save.(not that Bush has been a good one, far from it). Bottom line…the Blacks, poor & working class whites are completely fed up with the Clinton & Bush kind of politics. Yes…they operate differently but against the same enemy…the working class & poor. Why don't we all come together and vote for whoever is committed to defending the common good for a change. If that's Obama, rest assured the black's will have plenty white help. Don't be scared brothers, go for it. Maybe he might do as he says, and standing up for us all, is just how he can bring us together. We can help by voting all those other career politicians out of office next. None of us need the racism the career dems & news media thrive on anyway.

Its going to be a fun election if Hillary wins the Democratic nomination – there will be not civility. The GOP will pull off the gloves and be ruthless against the Clinton Machine. I have a feeling there are more people dedicated to defeating Hillary – and cannot be swayed in the general election, than undecideds. At least it will be entertaining!

Lets hope it doesn't get there- Because if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, he'll pick up a lot of GOP votes! Including mine.

I am so sad to see the Nevada results. Why in Gods name do people want more of the same? I just can't understand it. Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush and now another Clinton. It is more than I can stand. You have my word that no matter what I will never for for another Clinton./
I want something different. I want hope for a united America. A country where we could look to all our people and have a balanced government that does not deal just with special interests and big business would be amazing.
I am a white, female, 59 year old middle class democrat. I want to live to see a better America for my Grandchildren.
Please John Edwards: pull out now and throw your support to Obama before it is too late.
Obama/Edwards 08

Bias reporting again – Try congratulating Senator Clinton instead of yet more negative spin – I See there are no remarks saying that this is troubling for Barack Obama since he has the endorsement of the culinary workers union – the largest union. Obama lost tonight!! but you wouldn't know that from you pathetic coverage

Go Hillary!

All about money thats all!?

Viva Hillary!!! All the way to the White House. Obama going back to the Upper House. HAH HAH HAH.

CNN…honestly…You have been a major powerhouse in my life and some of your journalism has educated me greatly.

But, really…the anti-Clinton ticker thing is getting old…:)
We all have our preference for candidate…as citizens.
But, I look to my news sources to be objective.

Even if I hated Clinton…if you've read every CNN political ticker in the last couple months it's obvious that she's not popular with many of your ticker writers.

Hillary won Nevada and the first thing out of your mouth is race card negitivity.

I've stuck with you for years…but, now I'm clicking on other news websites.
It's ok to be biased…a little…but, can't you at least be clever enough to not make it sooooooooooooooo obvious.
please…really.

I think that democrats need to seriously think about what a general election with Hillary Clinton as the nominee would be like. All of the dirt from the past will be dredged up by the Republican attack machine and it will get very ugly. Frankly, I don't think she can win. My republican friends who are fed up with the state of affairs say they would vote for Obama over the republican candidate, but they would never vote for Hillary. That tells you a lot. She is very polarizing and I think Democrats are forgetting how high her negatives are. I think nominating her would be a recipe for disaster.

Hillary does not need the black vote to win please are you people crazy! whites hispanics all other monitories are not going to vote on skin color LOL

When the country needed change back in 2004, they voted for 4 more years of Bush (unbelievable); again, the country talks of change but votes for the status quo… and I'm sure that is what they'll get in November. Of course, they'll sit by and complain about it after.

Another fact I've noticed is that people seem to be voting for Bill not Hilliary, though they'd never admit it.

I'm also surprised to see some women say they are voting for Hillary just because she is a women… so much for thinking about the issues.

I'm waiting for an independent candidate… because you will not get change with the Democratic or Republican party.

I think all this race talk within the democratic party exposes the racism in their party that they always try to project onto the republicans. Maybe the african-americans will finally see the democrat establishment for what it truly is. On a positive note, if Hillary gets the nomination, it will rally the republicans like nothing ever seen before. All of us common folk cant stand the thoughts of looking at the Clintons for 4 more years, especially since we are all wanting change. I just wish the Bush's and Clintons would just go home.

@ Mark…I agree, black voters shouldn't vote for Obama JUST because he's black, but I don't hear anyone telling female voters not to vote for Hillary JUST because she's a woman. As a matter of fact, I'm tired of hearing people say I should vote for her because she's a woman. The gender card has been played throughout this whole campaign too, but I don't hear anyone complaining about that. I'm a woman and I would love to see a woman president. However, I won't be voting for Hillary. It has nothing to do with race or gender.

No more dynasties in the White House!

This article proves that Americans have not learned the lessons of the Bush administration in that voting for someone who is "likeable" is not preferable to voting for someone who is qualified. Barack Obama, while a great visionary and speaker, simply doesn't possess the experience to deal with the tsunami of problems overtaking the U.S. now and in the near future. If voters are petty enough to vote for someone simply on the basis of color as opposed for someone whose clearly better equipped to handle the country's problems then they simply get the government they deserve.

BILLARY GOT THE VOTES BECAUSE OF BILL POPULARITY.

Why cant Bill leave Hillary alone and let her fight on her own? Cant he follow the good example of Bush Senior. He didnt campaign for his son and has never enterfered in his ruling.

This game of one ticket for two is really disturbing!

73% of the uncommitted would have totaled to 28% oif the total Democratic vote in Michigan. This compared to Clintons 55%. Looks like a landslide to me. Also in the same Exit polls it said 98% of those who voted for Clinton would have voted for her even if Obama of Edwards were on the ticket. One more thing. Clinton, Obama, and Edwareds agreed not to campaign there. Whe were Obama and Edwards people calling, running radio ads , and mailing flyers to get their supporters to vote uncommited. That is campaigning if I ever seen it. Looks as if that alone ought to open Florida up. May I remind you they lost their vote too, but Obama and Edwards remain on the Ballet.

Senator Clinton for President

Dear Steve25 January 19, 2008 4:58 pm ET,

"There is no doubt that she will lose S.C. Primary."

Uh, no Steve, there is NO DOUBT she will LOSE in the GENERAL ELECTION. Her supporters are kidding themselves if they think she will win. What a joke.

Every election thus far, the Clinton's have cried foul. What does anyone want to bet me, there will be some issue come the next contest? Mark my words, wager me anything, that camp will find SOMETHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.

And CNN, what is with the race baiting? We already know the press favors Hillary, but geez stop trying to create a story where non exist. Obama's support is going up because MANY people are sick and tired of your beloved Clinton's. People are sick of their under-handed tactics and need for power. It has nothing to do with race. If Obama was the nominee, he wouldn't be able to win on Black support alone. Just as Hillary wouldn't be able to win on the backs of women.

So much for news worthy. You people are beginning to make me sick. I'm really considering calling my cable company to cancel my cable. Your news organization has gone to far, just like the Clintons. Tell us, do the Clinton's own any stock with your parent company? I'm beginning to think so.

I CAN SEE THAT AN OBAMA LOVER IS CONTROLLING WHAT GETS POSTED AND WHAT DOESN'T GET POSTED. WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH TELLING THE TRUTH, DO YOU NOT BELIEVE THAT SOME PROGRAM WILL BE OFFERED TO ATTRACT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE? IF THE AFRICAN AMERICANS DON'T WANT TO VOTE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE THE CLINTONS, THEN THAT IS LIVING IN A DEMOCRACY.

If the democrats want more of the Clintons then so be it, but I will never vote for her or her husband. Do people not realize that Obama is not only running against her but Bill too. And of course he is out spreading his own tainted , twisted version of the truth. I am a life long Democrat but I will not for for the Clnton team. Mcain is loking better and better. All of you hillandbill supporters better get ready for another Republican president. Hillandbill are just what the Rove machine wants us to produce. Its a sad time for the Democratic party.

Why is this "troubling" news?

The fact is, Obama SHOULD be holding the African American vote, just like Hillary SHOULD be holding the female vote (which she is). Whoever says that race or gender won't play is not being realistic. It is playing, and you know what, it should.

How come CNN is not taking comments for political ticker Obama takes heat for praising Republicans ?

Is CNN showing bias ?

Well, if I were Mrs. Clinton and elected President, I'd just say to heck with the blacks. If they're going to vote for someone for just color of skin, then I'd refuse to help them based on something as dumb as color of skin.

The Clintons are dirty politicians. I do think Bill was a decent president, especially compared to Bush. I am a lifelong Democrat and I planned on supporting whoever won the nomination. In fact, I planned on volunteering any way I could, as I have done in the last few elections. However, after witnessing the unethical attacks the Clintons have lodged against Obama since he won Iowa, I will never VOTE for them ever again, let alone volunteer for them. If Clinton is the nominee, I will either vote third party or stay home.
DOWN WITH THE DLC!!!

@ S Williams?? Are you the one I know well, insurance?????

As an African-American voter living in one of the Super Tueday states (which will vote on Feb 5). I am really turned off by Hillary Clinton and the comments that both she and Bill Clinton have made about Barack Obama in recent weeks. I still believe that ultimately many whites will have difficulty voting for a Black man, although they won't admit it, which makes this a up hill battle for Obama at best. However, regardless of the outcome in SC, I will vote for him.

For years, I have heard Blacks bemoaning the fact that there will probably never be a Black president in their lifetimes. It angers me that there is now a very viable Black candidate on the ballot and various high profile civil rights leaders, politicians and personalities have found ridcidulous reasons for not lending Barack their support. It is one thing to disagree with his views, but please don't tell me he is not Black enough, (is Hillary?), or Hillary has Bill Clinton behind her and Bill is as Black as Barack ( an ignorant comment made by Andrew Young whom I have respected in the past) or that he doesn't have enough expericence (What has Hilary done but voted for the Iraq war and new bankruptcy laws.- if that is what kind of judgment experience gives you-no thanks!)

It is ashamed when white Iowans can be more open-minded about a Black candidate than members of his own race.

Wow! I get such a kick out of people saying race doesn't matter, but every headline you see is about the African American vote, will they get together to back Barack, the "black" candidate, or Hillary, the "white" candidate, etc. etc.
I hope everyone will just have the good sense to vote for the person they know in their heart is the best–most experienced, most ready to lead from day one, etc. That is HILLARY.

And I also get such a kick out of all the pouty little kids who are going to vote republican if their candidate doesn't get in, or move to Canada, or some other foolish statement. Sounds like little kids–"I'm gonna take my toys and go home. That'll show YOU!" (As if anyone gives a rat's patoot where they go, or what they do.) Seems to me that this is all coming from Obama supporters. I thought they were supposed to be the best educated?? It's not showing up on these posts, that's for sure.
GO, HILLARY, GO GIRL!!!!! WE'RE WITH YOU!!

I would rather vote for Tammy Faye Baker for president than Hillary.
Barack, please, you've got to work on getting out the male vote.

As a proud African-American, I can state unequivocally that my vote will NOT be for Barack Obama. Race has become an issue because he has made it an issue with the backing of the media. What is important to me and to the rest of the country are the issues – economy, health, etc. Issues that I don't feel Obama has adequately addressed for me. This focus on race has been a big turnoff and if there were any desire to vote for Obama it has definetly gone away.

Aware, Obama had to run in 2008. If he didn't, and given how tired the American people are of the GOP, he would have had to wait until 2016. A lot can happen in those eight years, including the American public turning against the Democrats.

Why cannt Bill leave Hillary alone and let her fight on her own? Cannt he follow the good example of Bush junior, He didnt campaign for his son and has never enterfered in his ruling.

This game of one ticket for two is really disturbing!

What;s wrong with you CNN? You have become the most biased media outlet in this nation. I hated Fox news for doing that, but you guys are off the hook. Dang!

CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY FOR WINNING NEVAVDA!

HILLARY '08

the comments about MLK have nothing to do with Hillairy not getting the black vote African american are going to vote for a black candiate period. Especially if they think he may win So pleeeeese stop trying to blame the Clintons

You guys at CNN must be really seething. You'd probably already had written the Obama Wins Nevada headline. So now because you didn't get your way you write this ludicrous headline. There is nothing troubling about the African American vote skewing for a viable African American vote in a primary. The news is it's not enough for Obama to win primaries, because that is the one of the few demographics that is skewing in his favor that actually makes a difference. In fact, your headline should have been that this was troubling news for Obama, i.e. he's only abe to strongly carry one significant demographic. Come the general election when Hillary is the nominee, the African American vote will skew for her. Come on CNN, your "analysis" is really pathetic. Don't look now, but your anti-Hillary slip is showing, again.

Hilary's Experience

Hillary Clinton takes credit for the Bill Clinton Administration’s accomplishments when touting her experience advantage over her rival Obama.

OK, lets list the important ones that had long lasting affects:

N.A.F.T.A. and the W.T.O. – Clinton championed and passed these disastrous trade deals that have destroyed our middle class and sent our good paying blue-collar jobs away.

H1B Visa. – Clinton championed this program that allowed U.S. corporations to import high skilled foreign workers to replace American people for a fraction of the pay. Clinton allowed in hundreds of thousands of these replacement workers to the great benefit of a few superrich contributors.

Ballistic Missile Technology to China. – Clinton reversed the ban the State Department had imposed on the transfer of this dangerous technology, signing a waiver to allow just one company to do it. The Loral Corporation. Coincidentally that company is run by CEO Bernard Schwartz who had been the biggest contributor to Bill Clintons reelection campaign.

I won’t mention any of the ridiculous scandals that also plagued the last Clinton Administration. The Clintons directly led to the Republican takeovers of the Presidency and both Houses of Congress with their shenanigans.

Hillary has Terry McAuliffe running her campaign. This is the sleazy guy who walked away with several MILLION DOLLARS of UNION PENSION MONEY. Court documents show.

McAuliffe also ended up with several million dollars from the Global Crossing fiasco that left thousands of honest peoples life savings gone.

As I tell my children, “you can tell a lot about a person by the people they associate with.”

The Clinton's take credit for the economy of the late 1990s. That was of course because of the Internet boom that started in 1995 and went bust in 2000. We all made a ton of money. Everybody paid income tax on that money. That influx to the treasury also led to an income bubble for the Government. At least on paper, we had a short-term balanced budget. BIG DEAL!! That was a fluke the Clintons had nothing to do with.

The Clinton's have proven to be a disaster for working people because of their policies.

This workingman believes its time for change, not a return to past failur

Potentially troubling news for CNN… Clinton is going to take this one, you want it or not!

CNN, while I think that it is quite thoughtful of you to have wanted to save the voters a lot of time and the states/Democratic Party a lot of money by deciding three days prior to the first Primary that Barack Obama would be the nominated Democratic presidential candidate, it is, fortunately, still up to the people to choose who will lead them. Perhaps you could show a little restraint?

First of all : Hillary Clinton flip flops on her statements.
A few weeks back, she said : "no driver's license for illegal immigrants."
And then, a few days ago she said : "there are no illegal women or men."
And you still wonder why she won?

And secondly, people are not voting for Hillary, they are voting for Bill. But when people will realize that, she will lose and we will have another Republican as President….

You think the news goes after Hillary now just wait until she is President. She'll never get anything done under constant attack from the Right and from the media. We need a president who does not come with a built in hate factor. People hate Hillary. This may or may not be fair but it is a fact. With all this baggage how can anyone expect her to create any meaningful change?

Everyone iz very much aware tha CNN doesnt like Hillary, so your comment on the parcentage of BVoters, is wildly regarded as to sway off the committed ones,it wont work.
Mzee

EVEN STEVEN!

I'm GLAD she barely won. Congratulations Hillary!!!

OBAMA's a fighter, this is what he was bred for, COMPETITION

ELECTION BOWL 08
Clinton versus Obama

OBAMA reminds me of the movie ROCKY, in this fight for the WHITEHOUSE.
He's taking the punches and going the rounds. I LOVE IT!!!

Uh OH Billary won this round!!! Very disappointing. Thought we had a chance to see some real change out there.

I've seen Obama beat down and beat down. It's hard to fight two Clintons at once. I am so disgusted with them. What does it say for America to have an ex-president proclaiming voter irregularities? What's BillyBoy saying now?? if Billary won it is only because of the enormous political machine they have and America that DOESN'T REPRESENT CHANGE..

Wake up America…they are sleezy, dirty politicians and we are about to blow a chance to have another option.

My hopes and prayers are on Obama in South Carolina.

Hillary 2008! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of the voters (White, Hispanics, Blacks, Young and Old) When are we going to learn that news media is the one who is swaying voters to vote for Obama! Let the people of the United States tell the story by proof of each vote!

Thank you to all in Nevada who helped in making Hillary!!!

David too bad. Yes Obama is a viable AA candidate so what? Others should bow to him? Its is a race and the best person wins. Racism? 80% of black votes are going to Obama. Is that racism? What if 80% white votes go to Hillary? No black man or for that matter anyone, can win the presidency without white support. HRC won period. Lets move on to the other states.
I am a black man rooting aal the way for HRC. Go Hill!!!

Mebbe. Mebbe not. The electorate in SC is something like 60% african-american. But half of those voters are women. And women are trending towards Hillary. Now, I have no idea how Obama will do and he might have an edge but I'm betting it's not as big as he wishes. Which is why I suspect that the racist stuff is originating in Obama's camp. He has the most to gain from a disaffection of the african-american community with Clinton. The question is, did he time it right? Because timing is everything in this game and if something shows up pointing to the race card being played by Obama, well, it might not tip the scales enough in SC but the other states might not take to it.

Hillary won Nevada, she will win the Democratic primary, and she will be our next president – because she is the best candidate. It doesn't matter that CNN refuses to give her credit for her victories – the voters are smart enough to see thru biased media outlets.

Shame on you CNN for blatantly distorting the news in Obama's favor. No one is falling for your tricks. Hillary will win anyway because she is the best candidate!

And watching these CNN "analysts" and reporters like Candy "i love bama" Crowley they look grief-stricken following Clinton's victory in Nevada.

You guys should rotate in a fresh team to cover the Dem. primary race. Really, you are supposed to be objective. Even FOX today has more neutral coverage.

After Obama's attack machine distorted the truth and painted the Clintons as racists, why are you surprised African-American voters have rallied around Obama? This was Obama's tactic all along.

As a male voter casting his vote for the first time ever, I'm excited about this election. I will vote for substance versus glitter. With that in mind, Hillary Clinton will make a better president than likeable smiling Obama. We need to give credit to Hillary who despite the negative media from sexist news anchors is doing well. I am minority first time voter and I feel nor race or gender should matter when you cast your vote. In summary, I will vote for the smartest, most capable, organized, sound candidate and that to me is Hillary Clinton. Think before you cast your vote and don't make the mistake we made with Bush who everyone would love to have a beer with but won't trust managing your checking account.

And in addition, if we were in Canada, the UK, Australia or the , we wouldn't have this anti-Obama issue from elder Americans (or even this stint that Hilary has been pulling).

It appears that Barak Obama is not only contending with Hillary Clinton, but with white corporate America visibly represented by CNN.

A few days before the New Hampshire primaies, CNN did a documentary on the "Obama family" in Kenya. Showing the remnants in their dirt poor environment, and emphasizing their African origin. CNN also mentioned in passing that Obama's mum is Swiss or Swedish.

Today, around 2200hrs GMT, Ralitsa Vassiliva of CNN openly asked whether "America is ready for a BLACK president". Before the Iowa primaries, reference was made in CNN to the similarity between "Osama (Bin Laden) and Obama (Barak)" in an apparently light hearted converstion.

Apparently, CNN has continually undermined Obama at every turn in a subtle way, emphasising his "blackness" and implying that he is unsuitable for presidency.

No other candidate has been given this same treatment, considering the fact that not one single native American is in the race.

I believe CNN should maintain its objectivity as expected, and continually emphasize each candidates campaign promise; rather than the colour of their skin.

Regards,
Stephen.

NB: I will be pleasantly surprised if the above comments are ever published by CNN.

CNN really….why is everything that Clinton does "troubling"??? How is it not more troubling for Obama that he keeps LOSING??? Ridiculous!

Seriously??? She just won the state of Nevada and CNN is trying to make it seem like she's about to lose the nomination? If Obama had enough experience to show for then I would totally support him but I think he's too arrogant to just go out there with only rhetoric to show for and think he can solve the world??? This country needs a president who not only can solve the fledgling economy but also re-establish our status with the rest of the world. The Clintons did a lot of diplomatic work, they've established relationships with other world leaders and they earned a lot of respect especially in Europe. Hillary needs to salvage whatever is left by the Bush administration. World leaders would be more receptive to a Clinton than an unknown. These are difficult times. We need someone with the experience to solve problems, rather than elect another president who would need time to learn his way around the system.

It’s s sad to see two democratic candidates running for presidential nomination on the same ticket, Ms. Hilary Clinton and Bill Clinton. Are you kidding me! I wonder how they will share the seat after been nominated. Maybe President Bill Clinton needs to appeal to revise the constitution so that he can run again! Obama, you’re in for the worse because you refuse to shear yours

The perfect ticket is this:

Clinton/Obama '08.

The president does the work. Clinton will role her sleeves up and work harder than any of the people running for president. Just look at her "work horse" results/work load while she's been in the Senate. Not to mention the work she did since graduation from law school.

The vice president (unless you're Dick Cheney) doesn't have to do the hard work. He can use his gift of bringing people together, motivating people to get involved with the process, smooze internationally, etc. He'd be great in that role. Then, he will have a rock solid resume to run for President in 2016.

Our country would ROCK with a blood/sweat/tears president and a motivational people person vice president. I don't believe it would work the other way around. If Hillary was the VP, she'd do all the work and Obama would get the credit.

Well….its going to be Hillary agaisnt Romney, and all those who hope obama will be vice for clintons –forget it ! Hillary and Bill will rule you guys like Fidel and Raul!!

Romney will win as the young voters will neglect the democrats and the republicans will win ….to make it worse bloomberg will step in the race and did a liberman for the democrats !!

TRUTH BE TOLD….. HILLARY WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT!

POOR POOR AMERICAN ..LOSING WORLD INFLUENCE AND INCREASINGLY LOOKING LIKE A MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY .WHERE THE HEAD OF STATE IS HANDED DOWN !!!

AT THIS POINT, I SEE CNN BECOMING INCREASINGLY IRRELEVANT. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL CNN CONTINUES TO LOSE ITS VIEWERS. FOXNEWS IS #1.

TOO SAD. CNN USED TO BE A GOOD STATION BUT NOT ANYMORE.

BY THE WAY, WE BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH THE AMOUNT OF RACE WE INJECT INTO THIS ELECTION. IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, BLACKS ARE ONLY 12/13% OF THE TOTAL US POPULATION. THIS DOES NOT EXCLUDE ALL THE BLACKS IN JAIL.

Vote for who fits you best, but *please* use your own brain.

Do not allow media outlets -including CNN- or "major" or "authoritative" polls let their noise, disguised as "public" service, cloud your fact-finding and personal evaluation.

Here is a random tally of what the news media are reporting, the ones that are to provide facts and clarify issues:

After Clinton wins Nevada:
- Black voters snub Clinton again
- Poll: Obama makes big gains among black Dems

Before New Hamsphire:
- Obama pulls away from Clinton

CNN and other news media: please present facts and nothing more. Readers will otherwise apply a mental filter (Caution! Agenda at Work) each and every time you post a story.

The historic nature of a woman becoming President is a monumental step forward for the whole world because of the sheer historical scope of thousands of years of oppression of women throughout the world. It is undeniably far greater than the admittedly unjust and horrific treatment that Blacks have endured.

Obama's choice to run with only two years in the Senate has divided the Dems. It would have been truer to his ideal of unity to have waited a few more years to run.
This is not to take away from the first viable 50% African American candidate. It is his arrogant timing that is off! It is inherently divisive.

Not this time Obama!

Look the presidency in the us is not is not a dynasty — don't you have anyone else to rule this mighty nation rather than the Clintons– They have already spent 8 years there we do need a change…Something better. I am not sure of Obama's position on Gays right though….Lord help us.

Wow – another "Hiliary's win is a bad sign for Hillary" story.

Despite all the hype, the lady stil won.

The issues of race are important unfortunately. The Clintons know this and have used this and it wasn't Obama that objected firstly to the African American issues. The Clintons lastest is Bill's Magic Johnson. Oh please. I've spent considerable time in hispanic countries and there are most deffinitely race problems between the hispanics and blacks there as well and the issue raised above is very valid and not missed by the Clintons, you can be sure of that. The problem is very real when the teachers union took the caucus site issue to courts in Nevada and lost, yet the hispanics voted more for Clinton.

You people are so very fond of pointing out the slightest deviation in policy (or even facial expression) in the Presidential candidates. When will you give similar air time to review the profound predictions, projections and prognostications which you disseminate with god-like surety when these pronouncements turn out to be in such glaring error?
The only thing better than seeing ones candidate win a primary is the enjoyment of knowing the voters have not accepted your tabloid hype as actual news reporting.

As a Latina I can't stand Hillary! Latinos wake up just because she gave a cabinet position to a Latino doesn't make her Hillary Clintonito!!!! Bill and Hillary are a team of political collegues masquerading as a married couple. There is no doubt she wants this election, but Bill is turning into the Democratic answer to Carl Rove.

They do look more and more urban everyday. She is striving to empower herself and Bill is the cheating significant other doing whatever he can to justify his love for her in the street. This is all to comical to watch, for sure talk show bounty. Can you imagine him in the WH again with free time and security??? I know there are retired professionals but a pimp never does……

I am glad that my brothers and sisters are finally showing that we have a voice, expecially in light of the fact that the clintons havve elected to use DIRTY politics. We need to let them know we don't need a presient like that.

Uh oh, CNN, trouble. Black voters aren't supporting Clinton, maybe they'll support the Republican nominee. Gosh. What great reporting.

HILLARY ROCKS !!!!!!! I LOVE HER !!!!!!!!

From Ronnie…"CNN, listen up. NO ONE WANTS TO FOCUS ON RACE EXCEPT THE MEDIA".

It really IS a race issue. Blacks are overwhelmingly and disportionately for Obama. If Obama does not win the nomination, it will weaken the Democratic Party as well as have lasting consequences. Democratic candidates have always enjoyed the support of the majority of Black voters.

The grand prize is the presidency. Blacks are more than a little tired of always being a bridesmaid and never a bride.

CNN-YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! Another victory for Hillary and you call it "potentially troubling news." I am sure you do this to get a reaction from us and to draw hits from Obama supporters, but call it as it is. I am a Black man and I support Hillary over Obama. Perhaps your headline should reference the obvious, Hillary did very well with Latinos and/or Caucasians. The latter, my friend, is potentially troubling for Mr. Obama in an upcoming state where at least 50% of the electorate is White, a demographic that only once to date has overwhelmingly supported him—Iowa.

All of you Hillary supporters are stupid fools. I use these terms literally because you all have shown your delusional desire to see Bill Clinton as president again. Note to you all:

BILL IS NOT RUNNING!!!!!

God forbid Hillary wins, but if she does, you fools deserve what you get.

"Anyone but Hillary"

CNN YOU ARE SO BIASED!

WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HISPANICS VOTED 3 TO 1 IN FAVOR OF CLINTON?

MEDIA IS SO BIASED!

go HILLARY!

So, what CNN? This is nothing new. Different races/genders have had their own voting blocks as long as we can remember.

What about Romney's win in Nevada? He got his win with the large Mormon population there? Why not report on that?

And why not a headline that says "Troubling news for Obama…..65% of women voted for Obama AGAIN… just like in New Hampshire" and more women vote than blacks…..

But, the negative headlines against Clinton continue…….

Oh well… the voters are speaking..

She has bigger problems than just African Americans. As a white male I am so disgusted with the way she, Bill and the rest of her campaign have run this race that if she wins the Democratic nomination I'm voting for Bloomberg.

First of all : Hillary Clinton does not stay focused on her statements. A few weeks back, she said : "no driver's license for illegal immigrants." And then, a few days ago she said : "there are no illegal women or men." And you still wonder why she won?

And secondly, people are not voting for Hillary, they are voting for Bill. But when people will realize that, she will lose and we will have another Republican as President. …

Seriously CNN, stop spinning. The fact is she won. I think this is very troubling for Barack Obama because he did not win…why is that not the headline? Democrats snub Barack Obama would be more accurate. I have nothing against Barack Obama, and I don't mean to be rude, but CNN is so ridiculously biased. The headine for today should not be about how screwed Hillary is…SHE WON, what part of that did you miss? Give credit where credit is due.

All of you are missing the point!!!

Haven't you ever heard of REVERSE psychology???

The media DOES want Hillary to win!!

Make whites and latinos think it's blacks against whites.

Then whites and latinos will come out and vote for white candidates.

Blacks will come out and vote for black candidates.

Since there are FAR MORE whites than blacks – the black candidate will always lose.

This is so obvious I don't see how any of you can miss this obvious trick.

CNN pulled the same stunt after Clinton won in Michigan (which I admit was a hollow victory but a victory nonetheless). All they could point to was the "troubling" factors. Today she beats Obama by 6% in Nevada and CNN again calls it "troubling." If Obama had won by less it would have been called a major come from behind victory. After the projection was made that Clinton had won, Wolf Blitzer must have said about ten times that Clinton "managed" to win. It's so apparent that the network is pro-Obama. It reminds me of the November 2007 elections when Fox News analysts were so clearly heartbroken at the Republicans losing control of Congress. I'm tuning into MSNBC more and more.

I used get anoyed by this kind of unreasonable anti-clinton topics here.
But not anymore.
Now I can't help but feeling sorry for these Obama-backing reporters and bloggers.
So please keep on writing like this to keep your spirit high till to the day Clinton gets the nomination.
But don't forget to join the Clinton team thereafter.
We'll accept you all democarts with open arms.

Did anybody realize that Barack Obama won nearly all of the rural counties in Nevada. Not to start anything, but I just want to put that out there.

Hello, Hillary won. Period.

Well, Tisha, race has no bearing on who I'd vote for. But, as the CNN headline suggests, are blacks not voting for Hillary because she's white? I'm glad you're voting for change. Now what specific changes are you happiest about?

Go Obama !!!!!!!!!!!

CNN is such an anti-Clinton News Network. I really don't understand, why CNN can never say anything right or good about Hillary.

The news reads, she has troubles withBlack, but could very well be "she juggernauted the Culinary Union Endorsement Obama Received" or" She overcame all the dirty politics played by Obama, intimidation and other efforts to win huge in Nevada".

Just , as I say, I could vote for MacCain over Obama, I would say, Fox news is better than CNN. It is unfortnate that news network like CNN would be so much biased

The fact that the independent broadcast watch dogs do not realize that CNN is most certainly one sided against Hillary Clinton, is beyond me. It is so obvious a blind person can see it. She won Nevada! Immediately you tie a negative headline to it. Just look at all the people complaining about this in this blog. Do you even care about these opinions, or do you sit there on your high horses, laughing at us? Hillary is going to wipe those smug smiles and sour/sarcastic comments off your faces in the end. And your reaction will be the classic CNN version: Uh….so what happened?

Always negative. CNN, you lost my support. Stop trying to be FOX.

Lets face the facts. Hillary Clinton starts crying on tv, or states things are unfair and guess what? Big Bill Clinton runs out and shakes everybody's hand and Hillary wins again. When are the American people going to wake up and understand Bill Clinton is not running for president. I'm a African American male and these people act like black people are their friend. The Clintons act as if they need to reach Black America they call token people that are not anymore of a leader than I am. They are a joke!

Looks like Im voting for and independant. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR CLINTON!

i hope that we get a president who can unite us all because we all came from adam and eve. Sean I am white and i feel that Obama being from both sides with experience can unite us.

Obama 08

And who cares?

This is the most blatant biased piece of "news" to come from CNN thus far. She didn't win the black vote…so what? So she may lose South Carolina….so what? All we've seen so far is that polls aren't completely indicative of forthcoming results, and that the race will extend far into February. Lastly, a picture of her holding a drink in her hand???? I mean seriously. CNN just wants a "movement" because it's more exciting and makes for better news, higher ratings, and increased income for their network….you're as crooked as the Brush administration.

CNN is so bad! Hillary won again, yet they're treating it like it's going to lead to failure.

The way I learned it….winning is good.

Go Hillary! America's got your back, even if the media doesn't!

The SPIN is funny.

Barack obama is BLACK for christs sakes. Of COURSE he is going to win the black vote.

But if the media keeps pounding it in our faces , and I honestly wonder if its going to TURN OFF white voters to Obama.

I mean Obama got SMOKED in the Latino vote. Kiss California and the western states goodbye.

CNN needs to STOP promoting this black stuff, as we white people see all the african americans OBVIOUSLY voting for him because he is black, we see REVERSE RACISM and a DOUBLE STANDARD.

White people are supposed to judge obama on the issues and not his race.

Black people are supposed to vote for Obama because he is black.

It turns white people off Obama.

Obama is losing democrats right and left with his Reagan talk and the fact that he let the "false race issue" fester for almost two weeks without speaking up … perhaps black people were looking for an "excuse" to vote for Obama … and they found it, even though there was no truth in it.

In the Democratic Primary, I never thought that it would come down to race. I am ashamed of this.

Obama 08

YES WE CAN!!!

We are Americans in the United States of America, not in Africa. Race should not decide who the next president is. I think Repubicans are laughing, Obama is a easier target to beat if his base is built on black voters. Democrats are in trouble. CNN is too conservative toward women.

just shows that elections are to important to leave to Americans.

Let them vote however they want,, Hillary doesn't need S.C. and when she is President she should say the hell with them! Furthermore, if the blacks are not real careful, they will find this scenerio will back fire on them as other ethnic groups that make up far more than the black vote also vote along the racial lines which will kill Obama!!

CNN, I DARE you to write something positive about Hillary and yet another big win! Obama has made this an exciting race, no doubt, but the most qualified candidate is going to win in the end and that is Hillary. Stop trying to get everyone to focus on race. It's a non-issue…or at least it should be.

I often wonder when Americans are gonna wake up and realize its the same old people and the same old poo-poo and our multicultural country is not getting anywhere. The media is so negative. So Biased. I am getting sick to my stomach. As of today I will start watching soaps and jerry springer. My hopes and dreams are broken and will remain so because of the STATUS QUO in this country.

CNN SUCKS….ITS TIME TO WATCH ANOTHER STATION…CAUSE ACCORDING TO CNN HILLARY DOES NOT HAVE A CHANCE….EVEN THOUGH SHE KEEPS WINNING…INSTEAD CNN WANTS TO CAUSE MORE RACIAL TENSION AND PROBLEMS FOR THE NATION… LOOK.. OBAMA IS NOT GOING TO WIN EVEN WITH YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO FORCE US TO ELECT HIM…GO TO MSNBC OR CSPAN OR SOMETHING ELSE… CNN SUCKS

In my opinion, too many women voters are supporting Senator Clinton merely because she is a woman. Many are also pointing to her political experience as compared to that of Obama. Well, perhaps Senator Clinton's experience is being overstated. A close examination reveals that she served in public office as the governor's wife from 1980-1992, as the First Lady from 1992-2000, and a NY Senator from 2000 until the present. By comparison, Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996 and to the Senate in 2004, being sworn in in 2005. To me, the record establishes that Obama is every bit as experienced as Hilary in that HE has been responsible to his constituents and the interests of the individuals in his home state for the past 11 years. Hilary has had the luxury of riding the coattails of her husband without having to face the issues head on. When has Senator Clinton, with the exception of her time in NY, been the party responsible for making policy, introducing legislation, and conducting all affairs of the office. If that be the real test, then the score is Obama 11 years, Hilary 7 years.

Finally, isn't it time to get rid of the Bush-Clinton dynasty in the White House? If Hilary is elected it will mean twenty four consecutive years of either a Bush or Clinton in office. Enough is enough! If people want change, let's start with changing the last name of the proper candidate. What's next? Jeb Bush in 2012? I don't even want to think about that…….

i'll be suprised if this comment gets posted after being reviewed by a pro-Obama moderator, I assume…

CNN – you're losing viewers and support yourself with your pro-obama slanted news reporting.

You're not even pretending to be objective here are you?

You can't run a pro-hillary story can you?

She won and will continue to, even with your subjective "news" reporting.

We have a great democracy!

24 Years of:

Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton?, Clinton?

What a disgrace.

I would just like to say, I have never heard anybody cry, "Unfair" more than Bill Clinton. If it doesn't go his way, its unfair. C'mon, give me a break.

Yes, this makes 3 for Hillary. GO HILLARY!!! CNN is getting nearly as bad as FOX. No matter how well Hillary does, what she says, etc., CNN reports seem to always have some negative tone to them. On the other hand, Obama gets mostly positive reporting. Even when he loses they find something positive to boast about. HaHa, its not working CNN…Hillary is in the lead!

I've been a CNN viewer for years, but I am going to change to MSNBC. I want balanced news, not right or left, just the facts.

You've lost one 24/7 faithful viewer…bye!!!

I have been a life long democrat but I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. As the world's superpower we need a country that is united. If we thought congress and the senate was divided under President Bush, wait until Hillary Clinton is in charge. About half of the country (Republicans) truly hate the Clintons – pushing bills through congress will be extremely difficult. Why aren't people thinking ahead? Senator Obama has the abilitiy to unite republicans, independents and democrats under solid policies. Furthermore, look at the world's press organizations… they overwhelmingly support Obama for President. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to elect an individual that can represent the best America has to offer.

Hillary uses ruthless tactics reminiscent of Bush 2000. Lawsuits, smears, and her attack dog husband.
It's so shameless that I have started to dislike them, and I was once a fan.

Even if she wins the nomination, after getting it she may find she lost about half of the Democrats and all of the Independents.

Then we will get stuck with another Republican which will be a disaster.

I wish the Clintons could think of the good of the party and the country first, instead of their own ambition.

So Mr. SPIN SPIN SPIN
Your not too smart comment insinuates that African Americans ONLY vote for Obama because he is also Black.

African American voters choose their candidates the SAME WAY as everyone else!
We look at the ISSUES!
We are not one-sided and so uneducated that we choose Obama merely for the color of his skin.

Didn't Iowa Caucasion voters show you that most Americans can get beyond something as superficial as skin color?

Shame on you!

Why the obsession with black voters??? Let it go CNN. How about reporting on hispanic rejection of a minority candidate? What does that say about them coupled with Mexican gangs waging a race war on blacks in Cali. This country is sick……

A WIN!!!!! is A WIN!!!!!

Leave it at that and let's go and get South Carolina.

CNN I Truly and Sincerrely QUESTION YOUR BIAS!!!

You need to be neutral to be relevant and thus far your cover of this priamry has an aura of Anti -Hillaty tone. PLEASE STOP IT

So, What is this comment about a DEMOCRATIC candidate praising RONALD REAGAN is this true…?

Is there really vote suppression…?

What are the Key Issues for South Carolina

Those, to me are very relevant subjects for coverage

DO THE RIGHT THING CNN!!!!!

Obama will win SC.
Edwards- please endorse Obama.
We need you to help us avoid a loss in November.

If you are an Edwards supporter, please encourage your candidate
to throw his support behind his fellow Democrat.
Obama and Edwards are for a new direction.
Please help us beat this insincere, pro-war, lying, cheating, vote supressing, Martin Luther King Jr. demeaning, crocodile tears crying Hillary Clinton.
Please.

WEll sean, hopefull American will see him as a candidate for change and not his face of course, he is half white and half black if that matters to you.

Are democrats really seriously want to take the White House or are they joking? I think Republicans are laughing silently and waiting for the big feast.

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!

I see this election rigged. Someone must tell me how this is clean after NH.
I must be crazy to approve this election. OOh ya, and the latinos will be locked up everyday and deported to mexico. I would not vote for someone who wouldn't level with me on immigration. I would hate to be called illegal alien each and everyday.

A number of these respondents believe that "nobody wants to talk about race except the media." Unfortunately, even a cursory inspection of the campaign of Hillary Clinton does not bear this out. It is, after all, the Hillary campaign who indulged in a series of subtle race-baitings in order to cast Obama as the "black" candidate, get him involved in identity politics, and thereby secure a section of white and Hispanic voters who are turned off by what they *perceive* as Obama's being the "black" candidate.

@ #3 – joe guerrero. You are so right. CNN is biased. With the way CNN is going, they will go down in history as one of the worst news organization in the world.

CNN will keep promoting Obama even after January 8th, 2009 when Obama is no where to be found.

wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

WAY TO GO HILLARY….C U IN 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE………YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALL MY LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!!!!!jENN FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK

RON PAUL Second Place!

How can CNN not acknowledge the amazing presence of Ron Paul. He has done something amazing through his grassroots movement, he is for the people, the real people, for every individuals rights. CNN is bias has to wake up and realize that they are competing right now with the internet for viewers. That when they say something, anything, most people check on it online and if they are wrong or in some way doing the people an 'injustice' like negating Ron Pauls existence as a contender. People are learning and becoming even more aware of the absurd vehicle for sloppy slogans and propaganda. WE are not happy.

What will eventually happen if they continue ignoring philosophies like Dr. Ron Pauls, is that people will find their news other places, more relable places.

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

Excuse me, CNN? How about the headline "Troubling News for Obama: 75% of American Citizens are White" ? Unbelievable. Please try to limit the bias in your reporting.

The Media, The Media.

As a Hillary supporter, the race card has shown its ugly face again. Why can't we just get along. It is the same old game again. We the people listen and watch as the media present us with this crap and expects us to change our minds. Because it increases the ratings. Don't get me wrong I think it is sad, but it is also a little funny. The media doesn't miss a beat. The difference is Hillary won New Hampshire. It was almost a (to the media) "You talk to much" statement. Never under estimate the people. Obama has a good thing going. The people can make up their minds without all the spin. Black people, don't vote for Obama just because he's black. You think he is going to change everything, wake up. The country wanted change from the Clinton-Gore presidency. The country has made some bad choices during the elections. We now are paying the price for inexperience. Don't get this one wrong, we just might not recover. Don't vote on color, vote on experience.

This kind of reporting from CNN is absolutely hillarious…SHE WON….what's troubling about that???? Is there any chance at all that you might be able to keep some semblance of objectivity in your political reporting???because at this stage it's bordering on the comical.

Well done Hillary!!

I am an African American male, and a long time Democrat who has voted in every presidential and senatorial election since I was 18 years old. If Hillary wins the nomination, I will vote for Mccain, and a huge number of African Americans will protest the election, all because Hillary attacked a viable black candidate by using the "race card" and her supporters have been spewing more racist, venomos garbage than any repunlican would ever dare.

Do you think you can win the general election if African Americans voted for Mccain or just sat out all together? Considering all the independents who will go for Romeny or Mccain?

I don't think so. I won't give my vote to Hillary and her racist supporters. Not in the general, and not ever. The clintons have showm their true colors.

BLACKS NEED TO SEPERATE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THEY ARE JUST AS RACIST AS REPUBLICANS. BE INDEPENDENT AND PROTEST HILLARY'S RACIST POLICIES THIS CAMPAIGN SEASON. SEND A STRONG MESSAGE

How would latinos give white people authority to chase them around? I see this troubling.

Where the heck is the Ron Paul link I clicked on.. You have a link on the front page about Ron Paul and then take me to a page about Hillary Clinton. You Suck At This CNN…

Prediction: Obama will self-destruct by Feb 5 Super Tuesday.

More troubling is that out of a million registered voters so few cared to vote.

A "win" of only a few hundred votes is not much of a victory. The Democratic vote count in Nevada shows that only about 10,000 people showed up to caucus. More than twice that showed up to vote Republican. Mitt Romney's vote count of over 17,000 votes is higher than the total Democratic votes combined.

THAT's the real story CNN. I'm starting to think that your reporters can't see beyond their own egos to crunch the true meaning of the data they report.

Voter apathy is the buzz word if you look at the Nevada numbers. I'm African American but can't help to think that if the candidates had stopped PANDERING to the ethnic votes they'd have captured a broader spectrum of the voters and excited more to turn out. This is a sad day for America and neither has anything to be proud of.

I would like to see a third party. This country doesn't speak on behalf of the minority. It is for white and most white country.

We can only hope that the media and the POLLS don't start driving this into a racial election Time to move on and allow the voters – regardless of the color of their skin to vote for the candidate of THEIR choice… regardless of the color of their skin. (Donna Brazile should be so proud of herself along with the rest of the less than unbiased reporters!!)

Past time for the POLLS to pack up and put their tents away. This is an American presidential election – NOT the election which will be decided by the political pundits and the media circus NOR the US Supreme Court!

Race aside, I find very curious that Hillary's staff and all her supporters have been trumpting her as the eventual Queen and had coronated her months ago, yet Obama has closed 20-30 point leads in every state that should have been a cakewalk for her majesty. She is by no means the inevitable nominee yet which further proves that she is not only divisive nationally but with the the Democratic Party as well. I wish Mrs. Clinton lot's of luck healing that divide if she indeed does become the nominee.

As a lifelong Dem, I know in my heart I can't vote for her, so hopefully there will be a third party candidate, or I'll have to vote Republican for the first time in my life at 49 years of age.

So what? Even if she doesn't win SC because of the trend you noticed, who cares? the African Americans represent 12% of the US population. If they choose to support Obama out of solidarity, its their right to do it. Don't present this as 'trouble' for Hillary. Why don;t you mention the Hispanic vote effect too?

Hillary'08!! or at least NoObama.

"SPIN IT BABY SPIN !!!!!!"

..spin these nuts..

Here's the story. AA make 12.8 percent of population of the United States as of 2006 census. So, If thats all Obama and CNN think will help him win. They are in trouble!!!

Go Hillary 08!!! Thank you Nevada!!!

Clinton and his wife are really playing dirt politics and we are happy this man is in America because the way he is fighting the power using dirty game if he was in Africa he could be killing people because of power!!
Bill Clinton already show his true color to the world and Americans that he doesn't care about people or democratic party, what he care is about power to be in White House!! What the deference between him and those dictators in Africa who don’t want to give up power to new generation?
I hope Americans will do something about this American dictator who is willing to divide Democratic Party because of his own interest.
American justice has to investigate his past administration too.

More and more I see the results and read about them on CNN and other channels, it pains me – great America is divided on racial lines.

Who is polarising this all and for whose benefit?

I hate to use the words African American. If anybody does a research, a bit of that we all came from Namibia/Kenya….skin change came to adapt to the environment, then why this all call of dividing and voting on race, color and religion.

I am happy that way that republicans are rejecting "tithes collectors and hard core fanatical ideologists" and voted for romney ignoring what he believes in religiously, but what he is promising on economic front, which is appealing to masses so far.

My best candidate for Republican, though, is Ron Paul. He is consistent and more american focused than war and irrelevant issues. Strong america within and live in global village by global rules (UN).

My friends from africa (in limited sense of color), don't be fooled by color or divisive tactics. We have been the most tolerant, most accomodating, from Ghana to Mozambique to South Africa. From fist president of Ghana to Kaunda (Zambia), to Nyarere to Mandela……

Vote for the right candidate and don't be left out. sometimes time is not ripe for the well-deserved candidate to win, we shall do what is best under the circumstances and choose the one who will be more friendly and accomodatory of our interests……I am talking here as have-nots and not AA, that has to be discarded and bring back Haves and Have-nots and choose who is the best for majority and slowly but surely prejudices will go….It is happening around the world and nothing shall take us back than taking us forward. We have set an example in RSA (mandela), Zambia (Kaunda), and whole of africa…..

Vote wisely!!!

CNN – you are so one-sided for Obama. A huge win in a race that looked neck in neck somehow is bad news for Clinton. What happened to objective reporting?

I think all this media focus on "race" is hurting Barack Obama. Stop it. We should vote for the person best qualified to be President. This is Barack Obama. Unlike *Billary Clinton* whose historical record is a picture book of selfishness and nothing else, this senator from Illinois, Barack Obama has a record of service to the people. Please stop fooling the public with bogus statistics and statements about race. If you must focus on stereotypes, do investigate why Billary Clinton continues to gets the vote from women. Thanks!

Once again…I'm just baffled that people voting for a CLINTON, specifically this time Hillary, ACTUALLY THINK SHE WILL WIN INDEPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS! SHE CAN NOT, AND WILL NOT, and so…lo and behold, we should all prepare for another republican nightmare.

thankfully, we won't have to hear the names Bush or Clinton…at least not for another 4 years when Jeb will be anointed to run!

this looks more like a kingdom, then the world's greatest democracy!

pathetic!

Yes, Yes, Yes, Congratulstions to Hillary Clinton, and all of the hardworking men and women who helped her successfully overcome the media hype. If you're a Hillary supporter, pat your self and go and get yourself a drink (make sure you're of legal age) and celebrate. We're in this for the long run. I think the gloss is coming off the picture. Voters are seeing that what is behind is not worth our time.

Unbelievable!!! The ink is still wet on the caucus cards and CNN already has a headline with negativity about the Clinton win.

Ronni is right! The media is stirring up racial issues and this could blow up in our face. My God, CNN is even making FOX look good.

Even more importantly, we need to end the partisan bickering of this nation. Hillary is not likely to end it; she is a Clinton. Obama has a very good shot at changing the course of politics in this country.

The problem is with the parties. Every state needs to have open primaries and open caucuses so that the real majority can pick the candidates, not just the party faithful.

I don't care what color you are, a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for the next president to be a Republican.

Also, someone from Brockport – NY wrote about how we are not hearing about Ron Paul's battle for 2nd place on the Republican side: er, scroll down the Ticker and you will see a nice big headline about it.

If you are expecting to see it on the front page, just wait until Ron Paul comes in 2nd in a few more primaries/caucuses and then maybe it will actually be newsworthy.

Even more troubling news, not noted here, is the huge decline in support for John Edwards in these numbers. Unfortunately. His railing against the media didn't help.

What power!

CNN when will you stop with your biased coverage?

What does Hillary Clinton have to do in order for you to give her ANY credit?

She has won 3, count them, 3 in a row now. She is CLEARLY the front runner and yet we have to deal with this kind of ridiculous reporting.

Like it or not, she'll win the nomination because the voting is in OUR hands. Not yours.

LOL "Troubling news" about winning in Nevada? That's the same phrase you used when HIllary won Michigan… pathetic.

i hope the best candidate will secure our border .

Any sign of over-heated support for any leading candidates may create counter results.

Why does the Liberal rag CNN continue to lead nearly every politcal story with Clinton???? She is not the leading candidate in delegates. Just a progressive (Socialist) democrat…. tax, spend, tax, spend, tax, spend

CNN needs to learn a lesson when spinning negative info, during Senator Clinton's victory in Nevada.
Shameful…

Hillary won……that's it, that's all…… CNN, get over it. Just for once, try to keep your head-line for Hillary positive.

CNN just calls it as it sees it…..Obama, Clinton – whoever gets the most votes wil win. What's the problem here?

I do like MSNBC especial David Shuster who I think will become a major anchor soon. Very quick and clever reporter.

CNN – You're killing me! Report something substantial, like, well, her win against the odds in the face of major endorsements – by the way, why don't you ever report on Clinton's endorsements? Hmmmm . . . . Drop the race issue.

Looks like Billary's subliminal racebaiting worked, making an Obama SC victory meaningless and paving their way to the nomination. Hope it was worth it guys, because this lifelong liberal Democrat will not under any circumstances vote for you in November.

How can Obama be listed among the three candidates best suited to leader America He hasn't led anything so far that would lead me to reach this conclusion.

This is what you said after MI, get off of it. How is this troubling, AA voters are backing the AA candidate? The lastest Rasm poll has Hillary with 82% Favorable ratings among S.C AA's, so whle they are backing Obama, which is great, this is by no means troublin…

Every time Hillary wins, the media announces the "troubling" news about her win. Can't people just appreciate her win and say "Congrats"? I support Hillary and I am proud of her win!!! Hillary for President!!!!

The hispanic vote will prove to be a decisive opne for Clinton. Her supporters are overwhelminmgly women and Hispanics. Experience is also a mjor factor in her victory.

SPIN SPIN SPIN

spin it baby!! keep MILKING whatever ANGLE you can to help obama.

Do you guys REALLY think Clinton is SUPPOSED to win the majority of the African american vote when Senator Obama is himself BLACK ???

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

SPIN IT BABY SPIN !!!!!!

We don't care about policies, she is a WOMAN.

We want a woman to be President.

She is a woman and we love her.

WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A WOMAN WILL BE PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!

WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU GO GIRL!!!

Is this really the response we're going to see from the media? Every time she loses – she's toast. Every time she wins, it's due to some fluke or a sign of trouble. Ridiculous.

Democratic party race in S.C. is too close to call.

Here's a headline…Troubling news for Obama camp…

Hillary Clinton wins 3-1 with Hispanic voters. When the western states vote on February 5th, Obama could be in huge trouble. Hispanics are the larger minority and it looks as though he is not winning them over.

Of course, you will not see this coverage in the media.

There is no doubt that she will lose S.C. Primary.

Alright!!!!!!! How about Ron Paul in Vegas?!?!?!?!?!?! Not hearing much about the big 2nd place finish on CNN though are we…..imagine that. LOL. Lets just hope that what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas!!!!!!

CNN, listen up. NO ONE WANTS TO FOCUS ON RACE EXCEPT THE MEDIA. The exit polls from Nevada showed that concerns about the economy were foremost on their minds. Listen to the voters, CNN. We want to talk about the issues.

Hillary has continuosly depended on bigot votes to win.She polarizes the country to get votes.Look at the demography of her voters.The uneducated whites.She played the race cards with Latinos toget votes.I love my country and I love everyone,whites,blacks ,latinos, asians etc and any politician that wants to divide us to get votes will get her doom come November.If Hillary gets the nomination I will hotly campaign against her .She is bad for America.Pitting us against one another to get elected.Manupulating the uneducated everytime.

Here we go again…The media is playing the race card. This election is about people. Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire Primary against the wishes of the media. Then she went on to win the Michigan primary. Again, against the medias wishes. Then she went on to win the Nevada caucus. Shame on you. So instead of giving her the props that she deserves…the media wants to talk about race. Guess what…the voters are not buying it. So it looks like the endorsements of John Kerry, the powerful culinary union, the media, did not help Obama. So what will you guys come up with now? Wake up CNN and all other media outlets. The voters have spoken.

GO TO MSNBC FOR MORE OBJECTIVE AND BALANCE REPORTING…CNN IS ONE SIDED FOR OBAMA

White, Black, Hispanic. …. I don't care as long as your a breathing human and a registered voter please stop this era of bush/clinton. this coming from one southerner to the other southerners in SC. The rest of the south is waiting for you to be heard and vote in the upcoming weeks. let's show them that it's US they represent and not their own family legacy!

Please, please. I would love a woman to be president, BUT NOT HILLARY.

Cnn stop fooling us. This election is rigged!
