GO HILLARY

"Obama's main claim to fame is that he's a compelling speech-maker. Yet unlike the rhetoric of a Kennedy or King, Obama's rhetoric seems aimless. He calls for hope, for change. Fine, but hope to do what, to change to what? He hasn't said yet. He doesn't seem to know. Shorn of purpose, his rhetoric seems increasingly an exercise in technique and style, "sound and fury, signifying nothing". He says that one of the high qualities of leadership is the ability to inspire by words, and he is right. It's a rare ability. But inspire to what end?

It's a pity. He promised so much."

For me it's Obama or no one. This is wonderful news, although after New Hampshire I am very wary of these polls and pundits. In any event, Obama has worked hard, and I do hope that Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents realize that he is not only our best candidate, but our best chance of winning in the general election. The Republicans are praying for a Clinton victory so they can bulldozer over her in November. We Democrats can't afford to take that chance. Let's put our best player out there and support him like the unstoppable team that we can be.

Obama '08!!!

California is Hillary Country

It's good to see people looking harder at the Clintons' record and more of the same.

"It took a Clinton to clean up after the first Bush, and it might take another one to clean up after the second."

How quickly we forget that the Clintons stayed out of sight during Al Gore's campaign because they were considered a liability. It took a Clinton to leave the White House door open for a Bush to get in again.

It took another Bush to make the Clintons look good again.

Let's move forward into a truly new future.

what about the fox poll out today that has obama witn a 3 point lead? surely that would be relevant given to support the poll cited above.

Wow. That's stunning. California was supposed to be Hillary's stronghold.

I won't trust these polls — they've been so wrong before.

But *IF* Obama won or tied in CA, that would be a HUGE blow to Hillary.

But right now, we basically just don't know. We'll find out Tuesday….

I DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT CNN PUTS OUT BECAUSE THEY OBVIOUSLY FAVOR OBAMA HUSSEIN! THE NUMBERS DO NOT LIE! ARE YOU SAYING THEY CHANGED OVER NIGHT? WHAT GARBAGE! DO NOT BE FOOLED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! THE REPUBLICANS WANT IT TO BE OBAMA SO THEY GUARANTEED ANOTHER 8 YEARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE! HILLARY IS OUR FUTURE! SHE HAS THE EXPERIENCE TO GET THE JOB DONE! SHE WAS ALSO THERE TO VOTE EVERY TIME IN THE SENATE! PAY ATTENTION TO CHARACTER!!!!!!!!! FLORIDA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR HER! I AM CONVINCED THAT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WILL TOO!
GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

Obama secured endorsements from: Janet Napolitano, Democratic governor of Arizona; Kathleen Sebelius, Democratic governor of Kansas; Claire McCaskill, Democratic senator from Missouri; Tim Kaine, Democratic governor of Virginia, and Ben Nelson, Democratic senator from Nebraska.

What do all these states have in common? They are all states that George W Bush won twice. If you’re the next generation of Democrat, trying to appeal to the centre of the country, Obama is your candidate. Clinton takes the party and national politics back to the polarised red-blue ideological past. The danger of this is that if you are someone in the middle – on the purple edge of the red-blue divide – then the polarising nature of Clinton might mean that if she were the candidate you might vote Republican. Obama is the salve for this syndrome.

obama2008

The true "Comeback Kid".

Not so fast CNN you are picking and pulling one poll in California. Wake up CNN
Do I have do the reserch for you? These NEW polls in California on have Obama ahead in one, out of how many? SEE FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE. CNN stop showing bias. These are new polls.

RCP Average 01/25 - 02/02 - 41.3 38.8 Clinton +2.5

strange, most all other polls have her with a lead! it will be tight for sure, but at the end of the day the good people of California (and the other Super Tuesday states) will see that the only choice for president is Hillary! Wish I could cast my ballot for her on Tuesday too.
Hillary 08

When are you in the media going to STOP quoting polls???? This is your only tool??? What ever happened to good old fashioned investigative journalism!

They are so-called tied? Not in our household. We prefer an experienced physician over one that HOPES for positive results. Period. The end.

Even though the polls are neck and neck, such an analysis fails to take into account the effect of the absentee ballots. Remember, the absentee ballots were due weeks ago when Clinton was winning by wide margins and Edwards was still in the running. I think Obama will not be able to come past this issue in the votes.

Bill was able to "con" the Republicans and even lie, with some degree of innocence to this nation. I guess getting him back to the White House will be harder for the Republicans to ever catch him again; both Bill and Hillary now have the experience to "cover up" without ever being caught.

Conclusion: Hillary/Bill have the Best Experience; so the Dems should vote to get them back to the White House!!! Is this the type of experience the Dems really need?

In short, this race is for the Dems to lose, AGAIN, by voting for Hillary!!!! If they could NOT win with stronger candidates like Gore and Kerry, do they really expect to win with Hillary with all the Clinton baggage?

guess we will have to wait and see. They were close in New Hampshire and Nevada also.

Based on the scores developed by me, (to be called ' Wagle Astrological Score’,) using a mathematical model and several astrological attributes, the following are the scores of front runners. However, the score is still at the experimental stage and should therefore be considered only as indicative.

In the present elections, the scores of the front-runners are as follows.

Republican Party: John McCain = (+) 2,508; Mitt Romney = (+) 1,959.

Democratic Party: Barack Obama = (+) 2,422; Hillary Clinton = (+) 787.

Thus, in all probability, elections to the presidency will be between McCain and Obama. As their scores are almost equal, elections will be closely contested. However, McClain has marginally upper hand over Obama.

A Note of Caution: As the time at birth of Obama is not known, his score is likely to be misleading to some extent.

The author of this article is incorrect. California is not a winner take all state on the Republican side, but instead awards its delegates based on congressional district.

How can you have a dead heat in California - when 18 percent of the votes are missing? I wouldn't e counting on anybody until we get some valid polls and even those are wrong most of the time.

Its a crap shoot but I hope Hillary comes out in first place for she is the logical choice. We have already had 8 years of inexperience, and cannot afford more of that.

Voters have to choose based on logic not hype. Obama has Oprah's money machine working for him and I am surprised she turns her back on women when it was women who make her a billionaire.

I do not buy Obama's saying he was against the war. when 90% of us (not knowing that we were being misled)stood up and cheered when saddam's statue came down in the square. I think even Obama felt a little glee at that moment. His stance now sounds hyprocrital.

Yes. We have been looking at the 'polls' .

Polls that are as tapdanced as the headlines pumped out by the Obama rigged media.

These 'polls' reject anyone who has already pre advanced voted. They do not break the poll down by age or gender. They refuse to say how many people who participated were twenty year old men .

They refuse to say if they just did the poll in san francisco. Go to realclear politics .com and you will see the last comprehensive poll conducted where they actually broke down the vote in all the categories had Clinton leading by double digits.

But way to PUMP out the propoganda for Obama.

yes. I know you wont post this.

what is it cnn? always sweet news on oh-boy-ma?
please tell it as it is, not as you r biased eyes see it. hillary rocks!!!

I am a independent, but plan on swinging to the right in this election. I am frankly not impressed with any canidates on either side, but I really believe this country needs someone who can hit the ground, and I don't see Obama being able to do that. Clinton, I believe is ready, but I just can't seem to relate to her. I like Romney, but think the conservatives waited to long to garner support for him.

Barack Obama advances America's future forward

I went yesterday to a rally in Minneapolis Minnesota and all I can say is "WOW!" He is so inspiring and I couldn't even sleep last night, I kept waking up thinking about the rally. There is something special happening here! I sat next to a hispanic couple who couldn't seem to stay in their seats, they kept standing to appauld everything that Obama was saying. On the other side was a young white teacher and her friends. I am african-american and a female and I was so proud to see so many people there supporting the same candidate that I was supporting. As I was freezing waiting in line to go into the Target Center, you could hear so many different conversations going on about how people are feeling about this Senator! There were young and old, white and black and in between, handicap and athletic, so many inspiring people all coming together for someone who gives us hope! Thank You, Mr. Obama!

Maybe Hillary would have a bigger lead if you would stop being so pro-obama in all your articles and give a more positive spotlight on Hillary, CNN!!!!!!!!

Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary represents the POSH Americans because those are the only Americans that matter

How is obama going to 'change' the white house? some of his top advisors have worked in Washington for YEARS. He's the same as everyone in washington.

Do you think he's going to fire all the politicians in washington and start new? Bring in people who have never been in politics to 'change the game?"

Of course not. He's a fake and you people are falling for it. Get a hold of your emotions and use your brain.

Please America I ask you to make the right choice in this election our troops
need to come home they are killing themselfs, some of them only children themselfs they dont even know what their fighting for anymore, its not like they are in a country that wants PEACE this war has to be ended its not a matter of I won you won, its a matter of not belonging over in Iraq bring our boys home and let the
Iraqs kill each other because that country does not want peace…….Please if
you vote… for the right man BARACK OBAMA 08 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL
bring our boys home.Our country will never have this chance again ,so I say vote
correctly this time.
BARACK OBAMA 08 *=

Obama will surely win Cali with the momentum going forward. While I acknowledge that he might not do so well overall in super Tuesday, the race will go on until much later and we will see Obama emerge victorious all the way to white house in November next year.

This is exciting. With every Obama success I feel pride in my country and hope for our world.

It can be maddening to watch these polls go up and down as election day approaches. Many times, they don't tell us anything — Obama's "lead" in New Hampshire turned into a loss, and his "close" margin in South Carolina turned into a bloodbath.

It's best just to wait and see what happens. I'm looking forward to it, but I dare not predict an outcome.

In as mush as I love the both Democratic Presidential Candidates, lets remember that our country has been place at a cross road by president Bush. Hillary will be the best person in my judgment to bring back the desire respect we need. Let's remember that military might will not make the world look at us as leader of the free world. We need to take into consideration world issues that will give us long term peace and stability. Hillary can provide the leadership in addressing these issues. As for John McCain, if he will be around for the next one hundred years to fight this senseless war than I'll consider voting for him. Let's make this country more likable by making the world a peaceful place. My judgment tells me that this year the Democrats position can address these issues and Hillary is better position in achieving these goals.

I don't trust any poll which suggests 18% of Californians have yet to make up their minds. I don't doubt Obama has closed the gap but the fact is anywhere from a quarter to a half of all ballots have already been cast due to early voting in the state. These will favor Clinton overwhelmingly given her early lead and presence of the "Clinton machine" in the state. It'll obviously be much closer than those early polls which showed her leading him at 20+%, but she'll still win. I predict her eventual lead to be anywhere from 5 - 10%.

I want chance. So I am voting for Obama not the lady with 35 year political experience.

Obama for Change.

I think you've misunderstood the system the Republican party uses to allocate Californian delegates. They are actually awarded on a Congressional district basis, with the person with a plurality in each district gaining that district's 3 delegates. Also, the overall state winner gets an additional 11 delegates.

The poll in California proves that character and truthfulness matter. The latest revelation of push polling, a sleazy and political viral tactic employed by the Clintons in California to influence unsuspected voters will back fire and will bring her down. The Clinton campaign did not answer calls or rely to emails when asked about their push polling in California. Lies and misinformation in subtle ways about Obama can only go to certain extent. At the end of the day, people will vote for someone who is honest and truthful.

As a Democrat, I will vote for a candidate who inspires, who looks to the future and who brings hope to all Americans irrespective of race and color. Hillary has lost my vote and the votes of my circle of friends and relatives. I cannot support a candidate who lies, distort and misrepresent facts. Her consistent lack of character is something that matters most to me as a voter because this election is about inspiration, trust and character.

*** FOR ALL YOU WHO THINK MANDATING INSURANCE IS A BAD IDEA…

How about those drug users who don't have insurance who OD and have to go to the ER? Who pays for it? WE DO.

How about welfare moms who have multiple kids just to stay in the system, but they don't have insurance? Who pays for it? WE DO.

How about young adults who have college loans to pay, or choose to spend their earnings on a fancier vehicle or a new house or go on vacation, so they CHOOSE not to buy that "affordable" health care? What happens when they get in a car accident, and have to be air-lifted to the hospital and have tests and x-rays and surgeries? Who pays for that? WE DO.

Mandating it will ensure EVERY PERSON has insurance. If they can't afford it, they will get help via tax breaks and subsidies. IF WE DON'T MANDATE IT, EVERY TAXPAYER PAYS FOR THEIR HEALTH CARE!

Sorry, but I don't want to be stuck paying for people who "choose" not to have health insurance, whether they are greedy, stupid, or just ignorant.

Obama asked the other night what we would do if they can't afford it - garnish their wages? HECK YES! THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN!

Get real people. LISTEN to Hillary Clinton. She is not only READY, she is RIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY!

HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2008

Are the polls inflated again? What was the difference in NH? 2 digits? Who was leading? WHO WON? LOL
LOl. Obama 2016.

It's not that you have to LIKE the person who you elect President, it's that you TRUST them to do the job, do it right, and do it well.

That is for all the Obama supporters who want change for the sake of change (despite Hillary would still be change, especially after the last 8 years).

We need action, not words, not beautiful speeches that move our HEARTS, we need detailed plans that inspire our MINDS!

The more people get to know Senator Barack Obama the more people are inclined to support him. Change requires unifying leadership — leadership Senator Obama offers right now. If the election were held next week, and more people got to know Obama, Obama would probably take Cally. This late momentum may not be enough.

Nevertheless, La Opinion and many prominent Hispanic leaders are beginning to realize that Obama is the more honest, unifying leader that is absolutely needed to lead this country in the future. Let's hope more and more folks tune into Obama over the next couple of days.

PS: I wonder how many Californians mailed in their absentee ballots early for Clinton that are now regretting that decision?

As a Californian, this result is not surprising.

Before the South Carolina primary, all of my friends with one exception were supporting Hillary Clinton (mostly based on the reasoning of the NYT endorsement of Hillary).

But something changed with Bill Clinton's irresponsible attacks on Obama and with Hillary's failure to see that even if democrats do not support Obama because of experience, we are all very proud of what his candidacy represents. He is a vision of hope and an indication that America may be improving as a society.

Hillary and Bill's attacks on Obama have shown us that she cares more about attaining political office than what is really great about America and what is potentially great about the democratic party. She has also show great weakness and pettiness in the sudden rise in popularity of a political rival.

Shame on, you, Hillary.

Now, all my friends with one exception are supporting Obama. I will most likely vote for Obama on Tuesday. The one person support Hillary is wavering.

Hillary, if you want my vote, please apologize for your treatment of Obama and let the nation know that your candidacy is about hope, respect, and the great possibilities of the future. And please don't play the race card. In this "political race," it should not be an issue.

-Larry

I believe that it has started…. "YES YOU CAN", and you WILL become the next leader of your once again proud nation Mr. Obama!

Watch out Hillary this wave is about to hit you. I'm sure all you Hillary supporters have heard how Barack builds this wave of momentum that just wipes out his competition……….

Just one quick question:

Are these the same polls that had Hillary losing in New Hampshire?

FORCING her own solutions on Americans… SHAME ON YOU HILLARY!!!

Lets get real.
Who took this poll, Obama ????

I have relatives in CA, It's not even close.
The Media and CNN just seem to have a love affair with Obama, a novelty.
Would you be so obtuse to vote for a person with literally no experience….

" VOTE CLINTON "

So how about the other polls? Most show Hillary with up to two digits leads….. typical CNN reporting

The interesting thing is that I believe if Obama wins the primary, he will beat McCain because he will be able to gain Clinton voters.

However, polls show that Clinton would likely lose against McCain, and I think it may be because Obama voters may not go vote for Clintons (Yes, I wrote the "CLINTONS".)

Obama '08 & '12

Let's go. He said he was drafting. Now it's time to pull ahead. California, the country turns its weary eyes to you. Don't let us down.

Yes, OBAMA will win this!!

Go Obama, I love YOU!!

Well, if 18% of Dems have yet to make up their minds, and there is a margin of error of about 5%, this poll is rubish. It is another attempt to put out a favorable spin for Obama. Jeez.

Go Obama!

Go Obama!

Go Obama!

Go Obama!

As for the dream ticket question:

Clinton may NEED to have Obama on her ticket to win the election.

However, Obama DOES NOT need Clinton on his ticket.

Obama for President!

Those who stand in the way of the future are doomed to be left behind in it.

Obama '08

One day, Barack Obama will rule the world. That is the destiny. It can't be stopped.

Ohhhh baby Clinton in trouble

Remember New Hampshire? My opinion is that Hillary will clean up on Tuesday & go on to easily beat McCain in November. Hillary's biggest obstacle is the Washington media who hates the Clintons as they repeatedly distort & twist facts to favor Obama and continually say that the gap between Clinton & Obama in the polls is narrow when it really is not that narrow. The media wants Obama to win as they know that in the general election he will not win. You see the media is obeying the directives from GE and others in control to do their best to get another Republican in the White House in order to keep defense spending, etc. up.

Will Obama derail Clintons hopes (again) in California?

Hillary tried the old school politics with Bill against Obama- only to put a reconciliatory mask in the last debate. My impression is that voters will see through it and judge Hillary (and Bill) for what they really are…

A margin of error of 4.5%????

Come on, don't report this…

Polls can be informative, but when will pollsters ask Democrats whether they intend to vote for HRC if she is the nominee? The answer to that question is, increasingly, "NO".

Obama's recent gains are impressive.

And I am sure Obama's gain in the polls is the cumulative effect of journalistic distortions.

. . . just as planned, no doubt.

Obama is coming on strong, Hillary lost her shine.

Romney is coming on strong, he's Mormon so what

Yes!
Hilary hopes are dead.
Barack is heating up.

Everyday I run into people who believe Hillary is promising free health care for all Americans. "Universal healthcare" sounds pretty but the ugly truth is the health insurance promised is not free. Isn't she being intentionally deceptive by claiming that the "mandate" makes her plan "universal?" Hillary's plan makes it mandatory for 15 million people to buy health insurance that they can not afford. Without a guarantee of "universal" coverage - once again: she's not leveling with the voting public. On the one issue that is supposed to represent the soul of her poltical will and capability, a real willingless to level with the public is missing.

Shame. Turn the page.

Yes We Can!

I am going to give a lot of money to the poor and homeless people here in San Francisco if Obama wins California…

"They said this day would never come!"
"We have just done what the cynics said we couldn't do"
"They said our eyes were set too far"

But mine oh mine….Yes we can!

A poll of 511 democrats tells the whole story?? Come on!

The GOP California primary isn't statewide winner-take-all, it's congressional-district winner-take-all (3 delegates/district: 159 delegates of the 170!) + the 11 statewide delegates go to the statewide winner. McCain will probably get 100+ delegates out of CA (My gut says about 120-130), but certainly not all 170.

This poll, if accurate, considering that since Friday, as:

- The LATimes and Ethel Kennedy,endorsed Obama throwing Robert's memory in

- Ted and Carolyn will campaign there (and even Oprah !!!?)

- There is no reason to believe that the momentum of Obama, which improved
his position by 15% points in only one week, as stopped

- That evidently part of these 15% come from a most lopsided support by the now
freed 11% Edwards intended votes (which makes an Endorsement of Hillary by
Edwards nearly impossible and one probable) Obama should win by a marge of
7-10%

Of course, all this is not a sure thing

TOM

There is a mistake in this story. As I understand it, the California Republican primary delegates are awarded on the basis of congressional districts that are won. Three delegates are awarded for each district won; plus eleven delegates are awarded for the overall winner.

zogby had obama 45, clinton 41 in ca from 1/31-2/2

That's what I like to hear.

Obama '08 - Join the movement

A measure of the power of inspiration. Let's not forget that JFK was seen as an inexperienced nobody when he ran, against the wishes of the Democratic establishment. But, his words still galvanize us today. Our nation desperately needs someone who can inspire and unite us. I think Obama is that person - consider a crowd of 15,000 in Republican Idaho, where Clinton can't get more that 5,000 to show for a rally in LA.

Remember, one great phrase - "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" - has moved us to accomplish a thousand times more as a people than all the Clintonian incrementalism combined.

It is time for Senator Barack Obama. We need to unite this country, we can no longer have a 51% majority. Hillary will only further polarize this country. We need to vote smart right now. Our country needs every vote for Obama.

What has been lost on many of the vocal supporters, especially the Clintonites who always trumpeted their candidates lead in the Super-Tuesday states, is that delegates are awarded proportionately in every state on the Dem side. Hillary could win every state by 5 points (she won't), and still not have but the smallest of delegate margins, with plenty of contests yet to go, and momentum on Obama's side. We have a horserace, and the leader is faltering as they head out of the final turn. The stretch is yet to come. Obama is the better candidate.

Like New Hampshire you are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Honestly, this Senator Obama gloryfication by the media will be the biggest story at the end of this years presidential election. If and when someone other than Senator Obama wins, the media will be blamed for this and all the country will be left out in the cold.

Now that's great news.

OBAMA CONTINUES TO BE A THREAT TO NATIONAL MATURITY.

FEATHER WEIGHT AMATURE POLITICAL ROOKIE OBAMA, WITH HIS BIG EGO AND LITTLE EXPERIENCE CONTINUES HIS CRUSADE TO HELP THE NEO CONS WIN THE WHITE HOUSE.

WE ALL KNOW ONLY A HEAVY WEIGHT LIKE HILLARY CAN TAKE BACK OUR DEAR WHITE HOUSE.

VOTE TO WIN, THINK!

He is just a leader. If you watch them side by side he has presence about him that none of the other candidates had. Believe that he can lead the whole country, not half of it. As a conservative independent I will support him because of his willingness to reach out & heal not divide.

The gap is closing. People are believing.

FIRED UP!

WOw! That is wonderful. Obama, God bless you because i have hope you will change this nation.

My Poll show 65% for Clinton and 35% for Obama.

Hillary's lead can not be discounted. Polls have been wrong in the past. The most significant change in the presidency can come through the change in the gender- to a female presidency, and not by male presidency that exists since the birth of our nation.

Let's go Barack Obama! My wife has always supported the Clintons in the past, and she is voting for Obama. I'm a Republican and I am now voting for Obama. My mother in law is 87 years old, lives in Florida, she now has voted for Obama. For the first time EVER my family has found some common ground politically. I didn't think it could ever happen. With Obama I think this common ground would be found in our Country. This is what we need.

The simple answer is: YES WE CAN!

Obama '08

Always Negative Connotations against Senator Clinton!

Hillary will be the First Woman President in the history of the United States!!!

And it's about time that we have REAL change

Don't give up Hope!

Obama '08!

As a minority who was raised in a ghetto in Brooklyn- Obama inspires me to do so many Right things….he inspires to me to be RIGHT from the very beginning when I have so many chances to go to WRONG directions..
He inspires me to dream that I would be successful one day if I believe in my dreams..no matter what my background is and what my history is..I have never felt this positive attitude towards life until I heard his speeches..I

Obama 08

Obama is on a mission, and his mission is starting to show more everyday.
God Bless Obama

Obama is goingto win!

Obama!

Obama 08

Obama slowly but surely attracting some of the Clintons voters. He had a slow start because his name wasnt as popular as the Clintons. But with more and more coverage of this race, people are realizing that Obama can win the genreal election and they are tire of the Clintons divisive politics. With the 16 percent of the undecided voters like my family in Cal. leans towards Obama direction that will really make things interesting. But of course if that happens the Clintons will turn up the dirty tricks again, And i know noone wants to see that again.

Note to all Voters

Let's all come out and Vote !!!!

This is your right and one that we should all take to heart

Look at both of these people which one meets your needs!!!
Don't vote on gender or race or who get the biggest names behind then but who you think will work the hardest for you and your family in the area that you are most interested in.

Your Party needs your help to make History so head out and VOTE

Happy Voting

Maybe folks are finally waking up to Clintons back pedaling on support for the Iraq war. If she'll lie about that she'll lie about anything. Maybe they realize she only has 2 years more than Obama in the senate and most of her "35 years of experience" were spent trying to rein in that philandering husband of hers.

Senator Clinton will win and win huge here in CA. If Obama can close it to even a single-digit game, it will be a huge win for him.

I feel c h a n g e in the air! Fire it up! Ready to go! Keep up the good work Obama supporters. Spread the word about this incredible person.

Try not to cry this time Hillary! You should be starting to get used to Obama coming into town and cleaning up. The more folks come to know him, the more they love him, as they should, he is phenomenal on all levels that you are not.

OBAMA 08

We are pulling for Hillary!!! Please sunny Califoria don't let us down

Ofcourse they don't report on the Mason-Dixon poll that has Clinton up 9% in California 45% to 36%…

Obama was just rated the most liberal senator by the National Journal. He surrounds himself with the previous winner, Ted Kennedy, and with that loser-liberal, John Kerry. Moreover, he has been endorsed by many FAR-left political groups, including moveon.org. Don't get me wrong, I am a liberal myself. But do you think the Republican machine is simply going to ignore these facts? He will get blown away. He is much further left than Hillary on most issues. And this guy is somehow going to be capable of bringing people together? I don't think so!
What do we really know about Obama? He has never been vetted by the political process. I like Obama, but is it rational to vote for someone that we know so little about? In my opinion, America needs to wake up! Sure, Obama is a great motivational speaker. But folks, we are voting for the next President of the United States, not the next American Idol. Hillary has demonstrated that she is MORE than capable of being our next president. Obama is about hope. But I have hope everyday, and I think that we all have hope. What this country needs is someone with a plan and the experience and the know-how to get things done. That person is, without a doubt, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton!

Just sharing my views:

As a loyal Republican I voted for George Bush – One of my biggest mistakes!

As a Arizona resident I would love to vote for John McCain but because of his stance on Bush’s war of revenge I just can’t.

So that leaves me – The scandal ridden Clintons or Sen. Barack Obama.

No question !

I support Barack Obama and at 60 I recently donated for the first time to a Democratic candidate for any office.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

President Obama, I love that sound.

Clinton is way ahead of Obama. Stop trying to sway the voters. Clinton will beat Obama by a landslide.

Walter Lobo -

Isn't it rather shallowly presumptuous to presume that simply being a "woman" will change the White House? That just seems very sexist and denies the humanity of that woman to determine whether SHE is most qualified to change the White House. After all, putting a chimpanzee in the White House would certainly be a far greater change (well, maybe that's a bad example given our current Resident).

Can you explain the relationship of this poll to the other CA state polls? Perhaps analyzing the significance/insignificance of the way it was conducted? The way CNN cites poll numbers - more often than not to suggest the inevitability of Obama's rise - is fairly irresponsible. We already saw the inconclusiveness of polls in one state contest - why is CNN so biased toward the nomination of Obama? I'm totally excited that Oprah can have the same affect on elections as she can have on book sales - oh James Frey, where are you now?

hillary clinton is not presidential material….. the last name is the clincher.
SORRY HILLARY BUT I CAN NOT VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR LAST NAME. 8 YEARS OF THAT NAME IS ENOUGH

This is hopeful news!

That's great news!!!
YES WE CAN AMERICA!

Obama '08 '12

The media seems to be campaigning for Obama. Is this because he's a man or because he's African American? Hillary Clinton is hands down the best candidate for this country. Obama says he wants no part of old Washington. He's all about change but he certainly has a lot of old Washington supporters. How do you get older than Ted Kennedy? What is old Washington hoping he will do for them? Maybe they feel that because he's so green they can push him around.

To Walter Lobo - the most significant change in the presidency should not be based on a candidate's anatomy but on who is best able to lead our country in a new direction! Are there any policy ideas from Senator Clinton that you support, or are you merely voting for someone based on gender? If so, shame on you.

And douadavid - can you provide the sampling size and margin of error for your personal poll? I don't believe any polls currently have Obama leading, but I find a 30-point deficit somewhat incredulous.

Go Obama Go can't wait to see you in White house. Its time for change. Also time to end the dynasty rule in USA. No more Bushes and Clintons. We need a new generation of leaders.. God please help us..

It was inevitable that the Clinton's DNC backed machine would have it's collective blindfold removed from the eyes of the California voter by the sentiment, or dare I say, the incredible sense of the "urgency of now," thereby threatening the thinly veiled alliances of the purveyors of broken government and purchased political support. This signals the end of the status quo politician whose vote can be had by peddling his constituents intrests in return for money and mediocre leadership.

Obama '08

Can U Feel It?

Obama 2008! No violations of 22nd for America (because we all kow they'd like to try and get around that).

there have been dozens upon dozens of individuals who have held national security positions including a former secretary of the Army who are supporting Obama.

He can lead with strength and dignity. No more Clinton drama please.

ah! CNN!! We shall see where this is gonna go with Obama!

in ca 511 dem is not a good sample in a state that has over million plus people living in the state

If Obama win the nomination, I will vote for J McCain instead.
Hillary ' 08

I think Senator Clinton would make a good president, i am in agreement with what she stands for.

I think we should take a poll of all polls out there. Then with data in hand, take yet another poll to see if anyone believes in the last poll. Then, and only then, will we know who's going to win the white house…

Same like in New Hampshire….

Judging by the comments here, some people still think that Hillary is much more experienced than Barack. He has been in elected office for longer. What benefit does Hillary supposedly get from having an extra couple years in the Senate? By the time you are there for a year you know how things work. If anything less time in the senate is a good thing.

Some people also think that Hillary has a better chance to win the general election than Barack. That is just not true- look at the polls. Obama is winning over conservative independents and even some republicans like never before.

There are lots of people that would vote for Obama but never for Hillary (conservative independents), but I can't see there being all that many people voting for Hillary but never for Obama.

Some Polls Show Clinton Leads by a huge margin your poll show its a dead heat.. So with that being said let the voters make there choice not the polls.. CLINTON/OBAMA 08

Hillary, if elected, would be just another 50.1% president. Its time for a president that all Americans can get behind. Hillary cannot end partisanship, she can only fan the flames higher.

Saw on Meet the Press where this poll was unreliable.

I find it very interesting you wont show my comment the media is so one sided for Obama

Obama is a short distance runner. Hillary is a long distance runner. Go figure!

Vote to win–OBAMA. No Republican and no Independents will ever vote for Hillary, and neither will a lot of Democrats. Only die-hard Democrats imagine she is electable.
Looks like some Edwards voters have shifted to Obama, too. Like me.

Yes we can!!!

Sí se puede!

Latinos for Obama!!!
Obama brings together rural and urban, black latino asian and white, men and women, young and old, poor and wealthy America!!!

Give us a real leader America!!!

America 08′

Obama 08′

CNN stop supporting Hillary Clinton by propping up this whole notion of a Clinton/Obama Ticket. I find this very disgusting.

cnn pols seems always wrong…. they should ban polls especially CNN…. the media glorifies Obama to much

Adam, there has been many that have doubted hope and change in the past and there will be many in the future but they don't know the power of hope and change. They do not know the power of unity. We will win against all these odds and give hope and change a fresh new meaning.

…and that is without cell phones, and Independents!!!

Sen. Obama is a leader. When the man's feet hit the ground and he campains, the poll numbers change dramatically. This has been true since he anounced his candidacy. That is why the victory party Hillary had in Florida was a joke. If he would have campaigned in FL, her lead would have decreased. Don't ge mad Clinton lovers. The man just has it. Get out of the way or you will get run over!!!!!
The movement continues. Say hello, to the next El Presidente!!!!!

Your advertisement states "All politics, all the time……" If this is your statement, why do we never have the opportunity to see Ron Paul on your station? He is never mentioned, as if he doesn't exist. We the American people would like to see more Ron Paul on your channel. Who are you to deny us? What are you afraid of? Give us what we want.

The way the media has hyped up Obama is a crime. The nieve people in the country will buy into this like they buy into bubblegum movies that are hyped for months and then end up being garbage. Think for yourselves and don't let the media hype you into voting for Obama. THINK first. This is the same media that never questioned G.W. Bush during the dark years he was president (and still don't!). The truth is Obama is a rookie, don't vote for him because he is black or he has a pretty face! Let us be a little deeper than that.

You know I just can't wait until Super Tuesday when egg is going to be all on the face of Obama and the "supporters". It's says the polls suggest and it say 18% haven't made up their minds. Hillary is going to win California, and lot of places Super Tuesday. The media is trying their best to help Obama but it's not going to work.

Hillary 2008!

Hillary is battle tested and knows the ropes. She was attacked and smeared for 8 years and remains standing. The media that is pro-Obama will turn on him if he gets elected. Remember how Gore was depicted as a moron and Bush as a genius in 2000?

I'm not sure why people think that the media is in love with Obama. They say bad things about Obama just like they say bad things about Hillary. Hillary supporters jump on the Media the moment they say anything good about Obama saying that its all the media's fault. Yet when the rolls are reversed they are always they don't make the same argument.

I'm glad the polls are showing that Obama is catching up. People need to start realizing that Americans are excited for this election because of Obama. If you are a democrat you need to think before you act. This surge of popularism for the democratic party came from Obama. If you remove him from the picture, there won't be as many votes left over for Hillary. Hillary can not beat McCain while Obama can. People like McCain because of his honor and the fact that he was a war hero.

If its McCain vs Hillary, I wouldn't even know who to vote for.

Wrong John. The Republicans will stop the Obama "movement" dead in its tracks in Nov. What country have you been living in? There is a reason that Karl Rove was advising Obama–he knows the power of racism in the hands of the Right, AND he is afraid of Hillary.

Obama is inexperienced and shallow; he is a poster and a sound-bite. If in the unlikely event that he were elected in a general election, he will fail miserably at a time when such failure couldnt be more dangerous, here and abroad. He lacks the depth, maturity, and experience to perform in the international arena. Grow up and join the real world. Progress in America does not happen through sweeping change. Progress is incremental and painful. It requires compromise and hard work and guts. This is what Hillary understands.

Enough of our voting our emotions—that's what got us George Bush. Wake up, grow up, and START THINKING.

Hopefully our collective common sense will be the Imodium that will effectively treat this "movement".

HILLARY IN 08

Countdown on delegates:
Obama = 63 Check,
Clinton = 48 Check
Countdown to Launch Super Tuesday: 2, 1, 0
Ladies and gentlemen we have launch
We have lock-on…
Target locked on…
We have intercept…
Clinton war machine destroyed
Confirm…CLINTON WAR MACHINE DESTROYED

I will vote for Obama if he is nominated and I am a long standing Republican. I will not vote for Mc Cain against Obama; however, if Hillary is nominated I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER. I hope the Democratic Party realizes his cross over appeal and Hillary’s lack of appeal.

ramussen just put out the latest updated poll showing clinton with an 11 point lead nationwide.

Every poll shows Clinton ahead by a double digit or high single digit margin EXCEPT Zolgby.

So I did some digging into Zolgby , and they REFUSE to publish their poll results. No indication of age, gender or any other factors. Which congressional districts they used.

Nothing.

They also chuck out people who already PRE VOTED.

Change is not about What sits in the President's chair (gender/race).
Change is about Who sits in the President's chair most likely to make changes in government.

Vote for WHO you think will make the changes you desire.

Sadly, a close contest still means we are a divided people. Hopefully whoever wins will be able to unite people together.

Your conducting of polls is flawed and skewed! Republicans hope to have an election to decide between Obama and McCain and that is why you are publishing these statistics. Not going to happen! Californians have plenty of brains to use and do not need your statistics to decide their vote.

18% undecided 2 days away? i doubt it. stop cherry picking the polls just to highlight obama. there are a lot of other polls showing her ahead - more so than tied - let's report them all.

go hill - take california - take super tuesday.

Even though i am a proud conservative republican,i was beginng to like Obama,but since Moveon.org is endorsing him, will skyrocket him right to the bottom of the poles.You know the Clintons are behind this endorsement to move the focus of Moveon.org away from Hillary.If Obama if you are truly interested in being our President have some guts and reject this endorsement.

Divide the nation….with the most divisive political hack ever to come down the pike…..socialism is the future……..confiscate wages to pay for Clintons' hairbrained schemes…………………..China will one day economically ruin and control the USA………Elect Clinton………..sounds like a great future…….NOT!…Vote GOP and stop the madness, Clinton is pathetic and 50% of America will absolutely loath this women is she were to get elected……………sounds good to me……….payback for the relentless criticism of Bush………divide America once and for all……AWESOME………starts on day one with Clinton!

Go Obama, yes we can 08

IF YOU WANT THE DREAM TICKET- VOTE FOR HILLARY. She will nominate Obama for VP without a shadow of a doubt wherever you ask or inquire, but he will not do the same for her. and if he cant reach out as far as clinton, i fail to see how he can reach out as far as republicans.

If that doesn't clinch it for you, and neither will the issues, then what can?

Senator Obama is the candidate who can win. He will unite this country. The Republicans are salivating. They are hopeful Hillary wins the nomination. All the garbage The Clinton's wrought in the 90's will be brought out. We will relive the scandals. Senator Obama has vision and great insight. Where was Hillary's insight on the war? Please let’s move forward and not backward.

People are finally 'getting it'..and they are awakening with a new sense of direction and HOPE for this country. The below paragraph from the Birmingham News endorsement for Barack Obama confirms this!

"Clinton touts her experience and her ability to get things done. Unfortunately for Democrats, she carries enough baggage to fill an airport luggage carousel. And her husband's heavyhanded (and hardly presidential) treatment of Obama hasn't played well with many. In the general election, Republicans will remind voters of every problem, real and imagined, from the Clintons' eight years in the White House."

Before you cast your vote–please do your research. THERE HAS BEEN A COUPLE OF ARTICLES OUT RECENTLY THAT PROVES THE CLINTON'S CANNOT BE TRUSTED! WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!

After reading the following articles and then doing some more research on all the Clinton scandals all the way back to Mena, Arkansas, do you honestly think that these are the people of integrity that we want in the White House? Please don't be fooled by a nice show–really look at the facts and not based on only one issue or a feeling!!! If Hillary gets the nomination, all this information sited in these articles and then some will come out by the GOP and they cannot wait to take Hillary down.

Go to: 1) Bill Clinton Rogue Co-President in the Making by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

2) An ex-president, a mining deal, a big donor by the New York Times

THERE WILL NEVER BE A TICKET WITH BOTH OBAMA AND CLINTON SO DON'T THINK THAT IT WILL EVER HAPPEN–OBAMA IS WELL AWARE OF THE CLINTON'S PAST– In fact, no one wants to be a VP for Clinton–Biden even stated that he would not be her VP as she has an overbearing husband there and we all know that he cannot sit idle–HE ALWAYS HAS TO GET INTO SOMETHING–JUST LIKE THE RECENT DEALINGS IN KAZAKHSTAN. in late 2006, as Hillary was laying the ground work for a presidential race and serving in the U.S. Senate, Bill Clinton flew on a lavish private plane to the former Soviet State and met with its President, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, known best for eliminating all opposition in his country. Clinton promoted Nazarbayev for chairman of a U.N. committee – a position that the United States government, and his own wife, had opposed. That made no difference to Clinton. Clinton was there as the guest of Frank Giustra, a Canadian billionaire who wanted to buy the country’s uranium rights. Although he had no experience in this area of the world, he was suddenly awarded the contract which the New York Times termed a “monster deal…. [that] suddenly transformed the company into the world’s largest uranium producers.” After the deal was closed, Clinton’s foundation received a $31 million contribution from Giustra and a pledge of another $100 million. This information just came out the other day in the New York Times–why isn't this information on every station–this is big. WHAT ELSE IS BILL DOING BEHIND OUR BACKS THAT WILL AFFECT OUR COUNTRY?

This is only a tip of the iceberg–PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH. The recent New York Post article "Post Endorses Obama" is one of the only newspapers that state the truth of why the Clinton's cannot be trusted–they are the only ones that I have seen that have actually sited all the scandals and several other issues. These are all key factors. DEBATES ARE NOT THE SOLE WAY TO JUDGE A PERSON–just like in a job interview, one puts up their best appearances. Most employers do research, background checks, and check references before hiring someone. AS THE HIGHEST POSITION IN THIS LAND, WE TOO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO OUR OWN DUE DILIGENCE ON THESE CANDIDATES.

I do not understand why all the news channels do not cover all the background info about the Clinton's so all Americans can be informed! What are they afraid of or do these stations all have favors owed to them by the Clinton's? Please do your duty to the American people to expose and tell the truth.
Yes, I am a 50 yr old white female independent and I don't vote based on parties or only on one issue–such as pro-life or pro-choice, or a health care plan or voting for another a women just for the sake of her being a women–it has to be the right women–the person I vote for must have complete honestly and integrity–this is of utmost importance–we have just been through 7 years of lies from the current administration…WE HAVE HILLARY NOT ADMITTING THAT SHE MADE A MISTAKE ON HER WAR VOTE–SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION–AT LEAST EDWARDS STATED THAT IT WAS A MISTAKE–ONE MUST BE MAN ENOUGH OR WOMAN ENOUGH TO ADMIT WHEN SOMETHING WAS WRONG OR THEY MADE A MISTAKE. Also how many times during all the scandals during the Clinton years did she say "I don't remember where those files are. I don't recall this or that." –that's being honest–no that's hiding the truth. SO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND YOU WILL CERTAINLY FIND THAT A VOTE FOR HILLARY IS A VOTE FOR THE SAME DISHONESTY THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS AND A WHOLE LOT MORE!!!!

What poll, who? Clinton still way out front. She will be President.

The poll I just read has Senora Clinton whipping butt… 68 % to 29% with 2 % undecided. That is a big change from the FOX, I mean whoops CNN poll. Come on CNN why do you glorify Obama so? Im guessing the owners must be Obama fans? It is not fair to the American people to pick and choose news from thousands of articles to show your point. You are doing exactly what Obama accuses Senator Clinton of doing. I would be surprised if Obama wins any of the Northeast states or the West/Southwest states. He has Illonois and Minn. Probally Kansas and maybe OK and AL ( because those have alot of black voters) When race is made an issue and you go into poor areas and have Oprah giving out free prizes and cars to attend a rally, this is the kind of ugly campaign that rises. Hillary Clinton will be our next president, and if she did not win the party nomination it is an outcry and I would vote for the other Democrat, McCain.

It is happening, folks. We are part of and witnessing history. An increasingly strong wave of support is shifting and it is carrying Senator Obama to places he both dreamed of and deserves.

ALL THE WORLDS PROBLEMS AND PROBLEMS WITH OUR ECONOMY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY LEADERS WITH A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE.. THE MORE EXPERIENCE, THE GREATER THE PROBLEMS. THAT WHY WE DO NOT NEED LEADERS WITH EXPERIENCE. OBAMA HAS NEW YOUNG IDEAS, HE SHOULD BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

Hillary is the best to get the country out of the mess it's in. GOOOO HILLARY

One poll??

At least, 10 say that.

I love to here this….have tons of friends that are reb…and said they would vote for obama over mccain…..And i see the same thing from some bloggers…..i want to say thank you to republicans and independants for looking at a candidate for america insted of for a party….obama 08

Peter Paul..

VoterMom:

As someone besides your friends.

Obama is a breath of fresh air and the last debate showed that obama/clinton would be a great ticket, worthy of 16 years of Democrats in the whitehouse and Obama can bring more collaboration and less polarization

Please God, deliver of us from another Hillary and Bill co-presidency.

LETS GO OBAMA! YES WE CAN!

If he pulls this one out, he is more than golden.

FIRED UP & READY TO GO IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA!!!

36% to 34%? We are to believe that 30% of people are undecided a few days before the primary? Nonsense. This poll deserves no consideration.

YES WE CANN!!!!!!….America needs this man right now

Remember NH, fells like the same thing. The media always underestimates the woman vote.

no body cares about polls anymore ever since the New Hampshire polls were so incorrect. They are not accurate enough predicters of the outcome of Tuesday.
Plus, this poll is telling us its a dead heat, which means that either one could win.
I could have told you that.

Have you listened to Hillary in the past 2 days? I guess she is parrotting or frequently REPEATING the lines of either Obama or Edwards:

"I see American, where…" Sounds familiar? I guess this is called REAL experience!!!

36% + 34% = 70% . Even with the addtion of 18% undecided the total is only 88%. What about the other (100% - 88%) = 12% . Who are they going to vote for? Hhhmmmm, and we wonder why polls are wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary! You have my full support!

clinton is a divider obama is a healer

Can we, on Tuesday, prove that in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope?

Sí, Se Puede.

Yes We Can.

What's getting lost in all this hype about the "1st Female President" and "1st Black President" is that Obama is absolutey dominating Hillary when it comes to the young voters! He is generating enthusiasm and energy among people where previously there had only been apathy, and–at a time when both Congress and the President are reaching historic lows in populariy–he is actually engendering positive feelings about the potential of our country and its leadership.

That is why I (a white, moderate Democrat) am voting for him on Tuesday.

Those polls are not taking into account the percentage of Independents and Republicans you can add on to Obama'a total, that you can't add to Hillary's.
Everyone should check out the new "YES WE CAN" music video by Will I. Am on Youtube. It's incredible.

If you do not know what Barack Obama is talking about by now, you have not been listening.

I voted for Edwards! Hillary and Barack are unacceptable.

For those of you listening to Hillary say, "Hope to do what? … to change what?" Anyone listening to Mr. Obama's speeches know better. Trust me, Hillary knows better too. What do you want to change? Did Mr. Obama not say repeatedly that change is from the bottom up? He is listening to us just as he did on the streets of Chicago helping poor people there. I am from Chicago. This man is for real, people. He will change what we want to change, not what he wants to change to make a better name for himself. This man is the real thing so do not be misguided. Before listening to anything a person may say against this man, listen to Mr. Obama himself. Listen to his speeches (over and over, I have). He is real and it would be a grave mistake on the part of the people of this country to not get this man into the White House. Thx.

If Obama gets the democratic nomination I will vote for a republican president for the first time in my life. All Obama does is make pretty talk, but he has not said anything specific to back it up.

Looks to me like CNN is now trying to push Obama, as they are showing his speach on TV now. Let's have equal time guys.

Infinite Derision and Devision vote for Hillary

Want a warrior to lock horns and fight in DC vote Hillary

Want to go backward vote Hillary

Want to accept her experience with no need for her to open Clinton library records vote Hillary

Want a candidate with more corporate donors than citizens vote Hillary.

—————————————————————————————————

Why would any sane, rationale, forward thinking voter actually vote for Hillary?

Time to turn the page America.

Gobama 08

That poll is not the best one. It includes a lot of Edwards support. The total vote for Obama and Clinton is only 70 percent. So that's a whopping thirty percent unaccounted for. Most of the other polls show Clinton winnng — with far fewer undecides. Check out realclearpolitics.com and pollster.com.

no matter what they should be on the same ticket.

Hillary in N.Y.
