Hillary is going to wipe up here in the Golden State! Keep the Faith. GO HILL!!!

BOB   February 5th, 2008 9:23 pm ET

BIG LESSON FOR OBAMA AND ROMNEY

MONEY DOESNT BUY VOTES

GO HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CS   February 5th, 2008 9:23 pm ET

"So far so good for Clinton and McCain" reads the current headline.

Stop complaining and crying. You sound like Hillary.

CS   February 5th, 2008 9:22 pm ET

It's not hard to call a state based on 1% and 3% of precincts reporting when you factor in other things like... pre-election polls... early returning after polls.... and the fact that a candidate is from that state.

And for one, I'm totally for CNN subtly shifting momentum in Obama's favor. He is awesome. CNN knows whats up.

georgia dem   February 5th, 2008 9:12 pm ET

CNN= THE WORST POLITICAL TEAM ON THE PLANET!!

Helen   February 5th, 2008 9:12 pm ET

Congratulations Hilary! so far ....

Jack   February 5th, 2008 9:11 pm ET

Abe, why do you and Obama's fans always accuse any Hillary supporters of working for her? Are you that unable to discuss that you have to accuse anyone against you of being a plant?

Chris   February 5th, 2008 9:11 pm ET

Why arent they projecting MA MO or other states that are heavily Hilary. This is the press trying to manipulate the vote.

Garrison   February 5th, 2008 9:10 pm ET

Ivy, I'm right there with you. I don't understand why everyone seems so content while the MEDIA is PROJECTING winners based on 0% and 3% and such insignificant numbers of precincts actually reporting. I thought we all learned our lesson way back in 2000, to keep our mouths SHUT until the final count is in.

I suppose the media really doesn't care, because they get paid to do this stuff. God bless the Almighty Dollar. It is the ruin of so many things...

Abe   February 5th, 2008 9:10 pm ET

Wow, look at all the culture-jamming going on here... is everyone posting comments on the Clinton pay-roll? I find it odd that 1-5 comments are anti-Obama, and a little over the Top go Hilliary and 'Fox gets it right'!!! (What?), Makes me wonder who posting-perhaps it's it Fox! The game is not over yet... and the person with the most money wins- that is what a bumper sticker predicted years ago before Fox!

GoDucks   February 5th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Obama will end up being Hillary's VP. But I would prefer Edwards.

Jack   February 5th, 2008 9:09 pm ET

Tom, yeah, Wolf was hugely biased to Hillary when he asked "So, you were naive"?

Delaware, 26 delegates, just got more coverage than Hillary's win in New York.

Arkansas was called a no-brainer, but Illinois was made out to be amazingly important.

CNN is and has been doing all they can to downplay Hillary Clinton as much as possible.

Fan_For_Obama   February 5th, 2008 9:08 pm ET

First of all, I think that it is too early for any news stations to call the winners. Also, I am not so sure that cnn is so Obama obsessed; I think that they will jump on the most popular bandwagon for the present moment.

I just want to know if all of you Clintonites actually hate Obama. I don't dislike any of the candidates, and I would never stoop so low as to say negative stuff about the other candidates even though I am not voting for them.

I really thought this was a historical day for my mother; I know that she didn't believe that she would live to see a real African-American candidate, nor a woman candidate for the presidency.

You bunch of crying babies should charish the moments that allowed you to vote for a women. We all know that Obama has to battle to make it up the ladder, because first of all, he is still black.

why don't you bunch of fools educate yourselfs our the struggles of women, and people.

Helen   February 5th, 2008 9:07 pm ET

Congratulations

California Independent   February 5th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

Yesterday polls had Clinton up by 5. Early exits had her up by 10. CNN has her up by 28 with 10% in. Long way to go.

You wouldn't notice any bias if you were paying attention to the numbers, which after all, is what tonight is all about.

Start counting %, votes and delegates for your candidate and have fun.

SJ CA   February 5th, 2008 9:06 pm ET

I hear just as much coverage for both, and each side seems to have the same tone of voice. What are you talking about insulting Clinton's wins and making it sound like she might not win delegates? I see NONE of this! Am I watching the wrong channel? Should I be on CNN Headline News for this bias?

Tom   February 5th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

I'm getting really tired of this back and forth about CNN.
During the debates, all the posts were about how Wolfe was biased toward Hillary.
Now, he's anti-Hillary.
What a crock. If you don't lke the coverage, turn. Just about every major channel and every news channel is covering Election 2008.

For those whose choices are limited..I wish you well.

CS   February 5th, 2008 9:05 pm ET

No one expected Obama to come close in Hillary's biggest states (NY, NJ, AK, 3 states she pretty much hails from). CNN is reporting the news. Obama is the news. Every victory he has is a surprise and an upset from mere months ago.

The youth of America need to wake up and vote today. They can carry Obama into the White House. The support he has on college campuses is awe inspiring. Older democrats need to take a hard long look at who they're supporting and what it means for the future of their party. I speak for many youth when I say I'll be totally disenchanted with any sense the party has if they nominate Hillary.

fernand   February 5th, 2008 9:04 pm ET

stop being biased toward Hillary ,she will win it all and cnn is going to lose a lot tonight

Jack   February 5th, 2008 9:03 pm ET

Why are the CNN commentators doing all they can to insult Clinton's wins? She closed a huge spread in Georgia, she put up a fight in Illinois, and the panel just sys how much positive resulted for Obama. She's won more states so far, but all they say is how great Obama is doing?

Stop allowing the two Obama supporters to overpower the panel. Start acting like the journalists you're supposed to be.

It's a sad day when Fox News is more impartial than CNN.

Ray   February 5th, 2008 9:01 pm ET

CNN..come one. Just now she won NY and they are making lt like she might not win delegates.

Alex   February 5th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

Obama is the best bet.

Funny how divise Hillary support sound. Come on folks Obama is gaining hehe

:D

OBAMA 08

SJ CA   February 5th, 2008 9:00 pm ET

I'm sorry, but I'm now watching the TV and taking a look at all the sites. I'm not seeing a bias here at all. Is it just that they aren't cheering like crazy when Hillary wins?

willie herenton   February 5th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

who cares about tennessee... it's going to vote republican in the general election. it's about as valid as michigan or florida in terms of hilary's "wins" – wait those didn't count either did they?

oh yeah, i live in TN and i vote democratic, so i guess i'm qualified to discount the importance of her triumph in the volunteer state.

Roger Ingram   February 5th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Very Very obvious that CNN is bias. I am going to stop watching CNN.

Nik T, Houston, TX   February 5th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

Hillary is kicking butt even in every state except CT and even CT has a 2% difference. CNN has ignored alll the wins but they're trumpeting Obama's ILLINOIS and GEORGIA wins, both of which were expected.

magda   February 5th, 2008 8:59 pm ET

i am so happy for hillary, she is great. she will win tonight and she will win in November. i love her and bill.

Barrister   February 5th, 2008 8:58 pm ET

Hillary WAY out in front in Oklahoma...CNN quiet as a mouse. Hillary winning New York, New Jersey. Hillary WON Tennessee. This is going to be Hillary's night.

Lance   February 5th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

Bias in the media. This is so bad. CNN needs to take a good look at what's going on here.

GoDucks   February 5th, 2008 8:57 pm ET

There really is only one qualified candidate- Ms. Clinton! LOL at you Blitzer!

Ivy   February 5th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

It says 1% reporting but they have projected a winner for Arkansas?

Can someone please explain, I'm not criticizing just confused.

Debbie   February 5th, 2008 8:56 pm ET

Barrister 'said'
"That's great because Wolfie and the CNN pundits are DOWNPLAYING all the states Hillary is winning. Hillary is starting to seize control of Super Tuesday…and CNN and MSNBC are in complete denial."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DITTO!!!
I couldn't have said it better!

jane   February 5th, 2008 8:54 pm ET

America is not speaking, big media and the status quo are....

Here in NY, a LOT of registered Democrats conveniently disappeared as registered voters in counties which are pro-Hillary, forcing people to vote absentee, which will promptly disappear in a close election, or be changed...there is no accountability or oversight, there is no lock box....people need to wake up to reality...otherwise, stop regurgitating this nonsense if you do not even know how things work....

Hillary is a vote for the status quo.....if you support her, fine, just try to "get yourself educated" and remember later on when things go from bad to worse....and don't even look at the actual positions of the candidates and just toe the party line.....

then remember when America keeps going down the toilet and nothing gets done in Washington, just like now, since Hillary is so divisive, your limited role....if you are even counted at all......and then you can be apologetic just like Bush sympathizers are now, and say you couldn't have foreseen this.....nor could you have seen your complicity in basically just changing from one dynasty back to the previous one again....

Great Job......in continuing America's perceived role around the world as a bunch of closed-minded, xenophobic, isolationist bigots.....

Jose   February 5th, 2008 8:53 pm ET

Why are people so hysterical over Hillary winning states she was supposed to win? So now she's being treated unfairly? What about when she was leading nationally by 20 plus points? Where ya'll crying about how Obama was being treated unfairly? Oh that's right...she's the one that cries in public...the commander in chief crying her eyes out...yeah real inspiring

Mominoklahoma   February 5th, 2008 8:52 pm ET

Did you see how sad he sounded when he just announced the states that Hillary Just won. Poor Wolfe

CS   February 5th, 2008 8:51 pm ET

Sigh. Democrats acting like Republicans. Since when were Democrats so threatened by change?

60+ democrats, stop voting. You're hurting a country you won't be around to see.

Old school Democrats are too stubborn to know what's good for their party. Obama would win this national election. Clinton will not.

My 86 year old Grandma has voted Republican in every single election ever. She recently called me to tell me that she is in full support of Obama. What other candidate has had such a power? None. Ever.

Please, please, please, Obama, win.

Tom   February 5th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

Are you all kidding me ???
CNN is total PRO Hillary. They call Tennessee for Hillary but not Alabama for Obama ?? His Margin is far higher there

Steve   February 5th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

Also, thanks to husband Bills' decision to de-regulate the media, Comcast cut off my access to MSNBC so all i have C-Span and CNN. She is still in favor of big media, so I pay the price again.

Casey   February 5th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

Fox and CNN are slanting every win for Hillary as insignificant. All of a sudden, CNN has also began immediately sending my comments into eternal moderation. I wonder why!!!!!

Mominoklahoma   February 5th, 2008 8:50 pm ET

I agree completely that CNN is biased toward Obama. In Oklahoma we love Hillary!!!!!!!

Can I EVER get posted?!   February 5th, 2008 8:49 pm ET

I agree with most of these posts. I just don't get why CNN is doing this. I've been watching them for so many years- what's up CNN? Do better!!!

Yeah Right   February 5th, 2008 8:49 pm ET

That's right Chad, you can always count on the old white vote, however. Our future is in the hands of old folks, god help us all.

That has always been my stance anyway.

Shun   February 5th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Hillary wins... how delightfully boring.

Ernie   February 5th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

I believe wolf will will declare hillary the victor tonite
because of her experience,and the years in the whitehouse
has to be a learning experience in it self.

Tammy   February 5th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

WOW, I thought I was just being silly. I'm glad to know that I'm not, and Hillary's wins are being downplayed. Very disappointing Wolf! I LOVE CNN, but fair is fair. I want it as is comes in and if FOX or MSNBC can do it better I'll go there.

4hill   February 5th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

Way to go Hillary!
Voted for you, praying for you!
THIS is history!

Tim Stinnett   February 5th, 2008 8:48 pm ET

TENNESSEE LOVES HILLARY!

chad davis   February 5th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

Hey Yea Right,
get over it........ if you know anything about politics then you know ya can't count on the young vote

And We Should Care Because?   February 5th, 2008 8:47 pm ET

i hate cnn. they are so anti-hillary in everything they do, from the downplaying of hillary's wins, to whose name they put first on their list of "wins", to how long the headlines stay up on the screen. cnn was flashing the "breaking news" that obama took georgia for about 90 minutes, looooong after it was old news.

jr   February 5th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

Fox also said the last quarter was the best ever, our economy grew at a 4.9% rate last quarter according to this eminent, objective news source...and Fox says illegal immigrants (i.e. Hispanics) are the reason for all the country's problems.......

Fox is about as fair and balanced as bush's tax cuts for the rich, subsidizing oil/coal, $3 trillion budget siphoning all domestic programs for his Christian crusade overseas, giving all Iraqi, katrina contracts via a no bid process to pals in halliburton etc...while using taxpayer money to fund christian right wing mercenary groups answerable to nobody and then call them "contractors" to deceive the American public......

Any hispanic or minority voting for the GOP is either delusional or has been living under a rock.....or might as well be....

Steve   February 5th, 2008 8:46 pm ET

Please stop with the negative speech about Obama. He clearly is closing the gap on the Clinton political machine and ALL of you are nervous that the real power may get back the people of this country. No one "hates Hillary", we are just tired of the same ole program they insist upon.

vic nashville,Tn   February 5th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

I knew today at 10 AM, when Kennedy whole family endorsed Obama on last Sunday , we decided our whole votes for her, I am waiting for how Kennedy family votes work .
CNN, NBC the time for you all to learn the lesson . Now we will send more money to her

Julie   February 5th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

I am done with CNN. They might as well call themselves Obama chanel. CNN is going to loose a lot of viewers because of this election. Everyone can see through this.

KP   February 5th, 2008 8:45 pm ET

I agree- they are calling the elections way too early.

In Memphis, Tennessee, my family has been hunkered down in the storm shelter since they got in from work and they won't be able to vote. I think Memphis & West Tennessee not going to the polls due to the weather will hurt Obama's chances, so maybe that is why they are calling the state for Clinton.

chad davis   February 5th, 2008 8:43 pm ET

CNN is so pro Obama...... I used to like him untill they kept throwing him in our faces.

Dem08   February 5th, 2008 8:42 pm ET

I agree Casey, you would have thought Obama won the whole thing when he won Georgia. Where is here praise.

Been changing channels, CNN might lose this viewer if they do not do better on how they present this election.

chad davis   February 5th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

This is CLINTON COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Garrison   February 5th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

with 3 percent of the precincts reporting?? What is WRONG with the media?????? Did they NOT learn their lesson waaaaay back in 2000?? I feel like starting a movement here!! You've GOT to be kidding! I am so tired of "politics as usual", and that includes the media.

Obama wins Illinois, when 0% of the precincts are reporting?!?! Where the heck Are they? Jupiter?

Yeah Right   February 5th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

The young people from all across the Volunteer State could not outnumber the old white people, thus Hillary wins... sad day for the young of Tennessee.

Barrister   February 5th, 2008 8:39 pm ET

CNN has created a bias against Hillary Clinton. Are you telling me that they don't have ANY information on New Jersey or New York, two MORE states Hillary will win easily?

CNN may as well change to ONN the Obama News Network.

Out here in America, we're voting for Hillary Clinton in huge numbers. The media can't seem to report this.

Sue   February 5th, 2008 8:38 pm ET

Fox reported this quite a while ago. This must be killing you CNN. How are you going to slant your coverage when Hillary wins most of the states and delegates.

CNN – The Obama News Network

OBAMA SUCKS   February 5th, 2008 8:37 pm ET

HOORAY FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mirta   February 5th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

I loved watching Wolf announce this projection. He almost choked on his own tongue.

I thought Obama was suppose to trump her in the South?? Gosh, where is Oprah when you need her?

Like I have said all along...she "gets it", he just "sells it".

Go Hillary!

Brian   February 5th, 2008 8:36 pm ET

CNN: quit being so BIASED in favor of Obama!!!!

Your main web site headline is "Obama Wins Multiple Primary States," but right below that is shows Clinton leading in every state listed except CT, and the project winner in "multiple states" of her own.

It seems that CNN is unethically trying to influence voters in the western states in favor of Obama.

Do you job–unbiased reporting. To do otherwise is criminal.

Barrister   February 5th, 2008 8:35 pm ET

That's great because Wolfie and the CNN pundits are DOWNPLAYING all the states Hillary is winning. Hillary is starting to seize control of Super Tuesday...and CNN and MSNBC are in complete denial.

Watch out. America is speaking with the vote, and Hillary is pulling ahead.

Casey   February 5th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

Fox projected it long ago. And why wasn't there the great breaking news with trumpets when Clinton won Tennesse according to this fair and balanced Mega Media anti Clinton machine?
