(CNN) – An interesting dynamic is at play in California: Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a tight race, even though Obama is beating Clinton there among both white voters and black voters.
According to our exit polls, Obama is beating Clinton among whites, 49 percent to 43 percent, and among blacks, 81 percent to 16 percent.
How is Clinton in contention? She's overwhelmingly winning among Latinos and Asians. Two-thirds of California Latinos prefer Clinton, while three-fourths of the state’s Asians support her.
Latinos and Asians just may carry the state for her.

here we go with CNN and the race thing again – can your reporting be any more divisive?
shes gonna win from the latino and asian communities.
Si se puede!! Go obama!!
good for her.....all races deserve their voice.
Go Hillary
Please win, Obama! I got your back!
The Latino vote for Clinton (not sure about the Asians) reflects the Latino prejudice against blacks, and not a reasoned approach to who would make a better president.
Obama will win because Hillary is status quo and if he doesnt I am switching parties. I will never vote for Hillary...NEVER
hey people fox news is doing a better job then cnn , do you one top of the news on time go to fox and fair , and they dont attack hillary like cnn those.....
Doesn't seem divisive when the stats are what they are. Statistically valid with these sample sizes, and so large a difference that there are real issues here.
What about the other CNN exit poll finding?
Across every level: the less education, the more likely to vote for Clinton...
Gotto love democracy
hillary!!!!!!!
I love how your title is so completely biased and how you just LOVE to break it down by race. Your inability to acknowledge anything positive for Senator Clinton really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth of this reader.
California for Hillary!
As the numbers show Hillary ahead 55% to 33% at this very moment in California, predictable Bill Schneider leads with the headline "Clinton losing among blacks & whites in California."
IN SPITE OF ALL YOUR EFFORTS.......HILLARY IS WINNING TODAY!!!
Get OVER it!
Why must we focus so much on race?? I don't see the republicans dividing up their votes by race! If we don't stand together as a Democratic Party, we will NOT win in November. We need to STOP playing into this divide and conquer scheme. We can't afford to have another republican in the White House!
where is the african american percentage votes on the projected exit poll page; I see the white, latino, and other percentages, but there's no african american percentages
Of course she is winning in those areas, look at the history of the Clinton's. Who are we kidding, Obama is good and honest. We don't elect good and honest. We elect liars, cheaters and people with connections with the lobbiest. When are we going to learn. We were given a chance for change and we took same old thing.
Umm, I don't get. All this reporting about exit polls and Obama winning this demographic or the other...yet results show Clinton up by over 20% points. Are the people at CNN in denial of the incoming results? It's a landslide so far
At 8:41 with 10% reporting in, Clinton already has a 56% to 33% lead in California. So much for polls.
Go Hillary!!! You certainly got my vote in California tonight! The early returns are looking great.....
I think the question you should be asking is, "Could our voting tendencies be any more divisive?"
sheisme – good we don't need you anyway! Go Hillary Go.......
Go Hillary!!!!!
CNN could not possibly be more biased. Headline is "Clinton losing among whites and blacks", rather than "Clintons winning among asians and latinos".
How about, for once, the media simply reports, rather than trying to influence?
You make me sick to my stomach.
the country would be so much better off if these fortune tellers would go home and take their balls with them–if a person twitches an eyebrow they want to tell us all eye twitchers are for this candidate-get a life and let the final count be the only measure to digest!!!
Everyone should vote for the candidate they see fit for any reason they see fit because this is America!!!
Obama 08'
Yep!!! Im not sure why all of American media is so against Hillary. What exactly has she done to deserve the hate. Im really curious. I thing all Hillary Haters should be looking at themselves. She's fought against all odds.
Because Hillary and Bill are the most divisive candidates in history.
Illegals are voting in record numbers no doubt.
"The Latino vote for Clinton (not sure about the Asians) reflects the Latino prejudice against blacks, and not a reasoned approach to who would make a better president."
Well, what do you think the African-American vote represents? Seems like one could make a similar argument that the overwhelming African-American vote reflects a preference for Obama because he is black, and not a reasoned approach to who would make a better president.
Keeping our fingers crossed for Obama ...
CNN better be ready to eat some humble pie!
Race in a multicultural society shouldn't bear so much weight in the media. Age Demographics are just as useful and I haven't seen any mention of the turnout of the youth vote for or against Obama. Perhaps the youth vote will supercede race, nationality, and even gender. Maybe you should say that female asians, and female latinos vote more and therefore are more patriotic than black men .... The information is just as useful.
it clear that black are acting like kids,but i tell you that WE ARE NOT READY FOE BLACKS TO LEAD MY COUNTRY!!!!!!!!haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Somehow it's not OK to vote for a woman if you're a woman, but god forbid if you suggest an African American not vote for an African American.
i just saw mccains front runners victory speech. why did the strait shooter have to read from a teleprompter which he did poorly.
Hillary aka Hilldabe-a-s-t
Asian-Americans, having long been stereotyped as geeks and nerds in high school, do NOT really care about the cool factor, which is a bad sign for Obama. They vote not to be cool and hip, but they vote what they think is best for the country - something they understand from being hard-working and giving importance to education.
We are all Americans, red, yellow, black and white remember.. Looks like Hillary is doing just fine in California to me...
I agree with Elizabeth – you should not be reporting Racial Returns, you are making racism a part of this result. Its not about race, its about the economy – Stupid.
You completely ignore Clinton's overwelming wins in other States, and deminish this for women across the country.
you are so far off.exit polls NPB showing of those voters coming out of the polling booths-deciding who to vote for in the last two days CLINTON WINNING 2 to 1 – add that to all the other questions on exit polls and she is cleaning house...I'm watching until it's called. Yes we can Hillary
The media bias against Hillary Clinton continues.........
GO HILLARY, GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY GO HILLARY..........TO THE WHITEHOUSE!!!
The fix is in and Hill will win.
Here he goes again – another preacher speech – promises them heaven but cannot prove it even exist – how about some specifics for a change O.
Hillary may have the experience but i believe she doesnt have what it takes to run this Country, she speaks one thing and switches it up the next day, now im a woman but i dont think she can do it, but if she does then so be it. Go OBAMA!!!!!
As the numbers show Hillary ahead 55% to 33% at this very moment in California, predictable Bill Schneider leads with the headline "Clinton losing among blacks & whites in California."
IN SPITE OF ALL YOUR EFFORTS…….HILLARY IS WINNING TODAY!!!
Get OVER it!
Coun't agree with you more. CNN get over it, stupid misogynists.
another reason to stop ALL immigration, especially from south of the border..Go back and change those 3rd world countries.
It just goes to show you Oprah can't tell the country who to vote for.
Oprah does not dictate who should be President.
Oprah can't buy herself a Pressydent.
shame on you, yes, you CNN
To Bob Robertson,
If the Latinos voted for Obama, does that mean the Latinos discriminate women?
If women voted for Hillary, does that mean they are sexist?
If African-American voted for Obama, does that mean they are racist?
Don't be too simple minded.
Obama needs to win CA....
Hope he wins this.. i am with u Obama
Obama 08!
Just watching Msnbc and Cnn. the Bias against Clinton is just incredible. have never seen anything like it.
democrats can nominate Hillary if they want to lose white house to GOP again.
Did Obama really won super tuesday primaries?
Can we really say Obama is a winner based on super tuesday results. Most of the states Obama won are typical red states in general election. How can we expect him to get nomination based on these results and "hope" to win the general election. Clinton clearly won the democratic base and deserves to get the democratic nomination in 2008.Let's hope all democrats realize this when they go to DNC.
I am asian and I am for Obama. i love Hillary too but I want change from political establishment, tired of conventional macho style and want america to be the GREATEST again in a humble way. I want america to lead the world in every walk of life and we need change for that. We need Obama.
HILLARY 08
The big news is that Obama didn't win everything. The way the news organizations call it, you'd think that Barack was the second coming. We're lucky we have two great candidates.
Look at the Democrats infight over RACE. I love it.
The party of diiihhhversiiity and tooohlerahhhnce ISN'T, and NEVER was. Let the TRUE colors of their BIGOTRY be displayed for ALL to see!
It's amazing how many HIllary campaign ads I saw on TV here , not to mention radio ads. I honestly heard 1 ad for Obama, and some of my friends got some voicemails on their cell phones saying to vote for him. That's just tacky, Go Hillary!!! your campaigning efforts are obviously paying off in California!!
Am I the only "young" person who realizes that Obama won't actually bring any of the so-called "changes" to fruition? Nothing will ever deviate much from the status quo, short of a cataclysmic event (i.e., the Great Depression), so we might as well vote for someone who actually has experience instead of empty promises.
If you educated half the people who vote for Hillary that they are NOT voting for Bill Clinton....watch her numbers fall. Obama wins easily.
11 states for Obama, but I still got to stomach Hillary in California. It is what it is.
Why can't CNN say in the headline:
"Clinton winning among Latinos and Asians in California " instead of posting a negative headline?
It is so obvious how CNN is biased about this campaign, really!
Oh, by the way moderator, make sure you post my comments!
Yo, Schneider, your report's terribly off. Exit polls do not have any real scientific value. The numbers she's putting up in California suggest she might be doing much better among whites and even blacks than your exit polls would suggest.
Come on, you claim yourself the BEST political team................
Can you read numbers? She DID NOT LOSE!
Absolutely! Hillary supporters know that we can't be told what to vote for, we decide for ourselves! Keep reporting your false views CNN, but we hold our own!
Go Hillary!
Why doesn't CNN's main title say " Latinos and Asians for Clinton" instead? In fact the biggest lack of coverage in California (and else where) is the almost non-existent support for Obama among Asian Americans like me.
Considering media has been against Hillary, California is a HUGE WIN for our soon-to-be Madam President!!! Yayyyyyyyy!!!!
Obama's race should have nothing to do with the outcome of the election. He will not be able to lead this great nation back to the proper place in the international community. He is an excellent speaker but the President needs more than oratorical skiils to run this country. We are in a bad enough condition without electing a president with no experience in the areas that really matter.
Change Washington? He could not even carry the kennedy state – how's he going to function in DC – he's toast there.
Hillary is a TRUE inspiration. She fought against all odds, all of the media, the prejudice. This just proves to me she is the smartest and the best. CNN, you're are the loosers and everyone sees it. This election is going to turn people against you.
CNN is doing itself no favours with this kind of headline. Hillary Clinton could get 99% of the vote and CNN would lead with "Obama unanimous choice of last 1% of voters".
I agree about the media bias. As for the Asians and the Latinos, it's simple. They were forgotten because of Oprah making this all about race. I blame Oprah for all of this stuff. And listen to Obama taking cheap shots and lying right now about not taking money from lobbyists. Obama is such a phony. I'm sorry but he is lying through his teeth right now during this speech.
Go Hillary. CNN is extremely biased when it comes to the bright, articulate, experienced Senator from New York. The reporting is very disappointing. Sexism is alive and well at all levels of this news organization.
I notice that Obama reads all of his speeches… doesn’t this mean that whatever he says is not coming from his heart but from what has been prepared a long time ago… way to be inspirational senator… Tells us more specifics about your programs and don’t talk so much about change and looking forward and not looking backwards… didn’t George Bush said the same thing… Look where we are now… we need more specifics senator!!!
Well, this Asian supported Obama. I can't believe the stupidity of my fellow Asians.
come on,cnn, be fair, just for once.
Hillary congratulated her opponent for a great race in her speech tonight.
Obama continued to attack her.
Hopefully people will see right through Mr. Obama and realize that he would do whatever he needs to simply to become the President.
That's not "change." That's status quo.
Go Hillary!
It's unfortunate that the US ain't the big 'ol melting pot it used to supposedly be, but not exactly suprising. In a race – oh the wacky puns – which is so dramatically split along racial lines, it would be negligent to fail to report it.
Remember the "how, who, what, where, why, when" of reporting, back before it was just entertainment? This blurb answers all these questions. I for one am fascinated to learn that ethnic groups which are minorities nationwide are single-handedly pulling what so far looks like a strong win for clinton in the most significant state of the day.
(the choice of title is interesting, but hey, whatever)
I have to agree fox is doing a better job at being unbiased ..shocking but very true
To Asian American –
Your comment is absolutely ridiculous. Voting for Obama is not about the cool factor. I happen to a hard-working Asian-American woman who gives a lot of importance to education and I am very involved in Obama's campaign. That's because I know what's best for the country - I'm already cool and hip.
One of the comments here was saying Obama was just so holy because he doesn't deal with lobbyists. Was that commentator aware that the silver tongued serpent of Hyde Park makes extensive use of them as campaign advisors? He refuses to discuss that with the press–but then again, he stiff-arms the press...even those segments of the press that fawn all over him. He is not the Christ-like figure some here are making him out to be. He's as phony as most other politicians–he just fools you because he strings words together well. Maybe he'll get the nomination, and maybe he'll get elected in November, but all you "change" folks better remember one crucial point....be very careful in making requests, because in the end, you will get what you asked for, but not in the way YOU intended....I smell Jimmy Carter more than I smell Bobby Kennedy (BTW–happen to notice who Bobby Kennedy's offspring decided to endorse...just a thought).
Congratulations Hillary on a fine job tonight. I'm listening to Obama speak on how he didn't vote for the war....he just doesn't get it does he. He wasn't around to vote for it. Why does he sound like a preacher when he speaks?
Hillary you are a great candidate and have been very successful tonight! Keep up the momentum.
Go Obama win NOT for Black Americans, not for white Americans, not for Liberal Americans , not for concervative Americans BUT for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
This is Obama's time. Hillary can't stop him. If he gets MO, that's it-she'd be done.
Come on Obama, just get a couple more point in MO and this night is all yours.
the title is misleading. Does the author endorse Obama?
Lead!!!
Hillary losing among whites and blacks in California...
Wow another race headline..
Could have even been
Hillary winning among Latinio's and Asians. " equal headline.'
Why Cnn don't you wait for more info before starting your silliness?
Oh by the way this is from "One more of your less educated viewers"
You know.. I guess I am to dumb to watch you any longer.
Thank you for pointing that out. Shame on me for thinking you valued my
loyality.
Those of us who support Hillary support her and understand the difference she has made in our lives. I listen to Obama with yet another pretty speech as he insults Hillary and steals words from past leaders while predending to be
a new leader. Good lord does he not know when to stop .......
obama says he is only taking public funding is this true
taken from the pages of cnn:
Clinton and Obama have also been raising private funds for the general election, but Obama said he would return the money and accept public funding in the general if the Republican nominee agrees to do the same.
This is the best election in a long time in America. I vote for America she needs some healing and it is on the way according to the people.
80% blacks voting for Obama. Who's making this a race about race? 43% of Whites support Obama, so it appears the Whites are not choosing based on color.
Hillary cares about all the people – including Latinos and Asians – she will be a president for all – not just for the blacks.
As I listen to Obamas speech tonight it reminds me of being in a southern baptist black church listening to the preacher. It makes me sick. He speaks a message but has no substance. It is all fluff and he wants to be MLK but...he AINT.
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA
WE DO NEED CHANGE AMERICA NEEDS CHANGE WE DO NOT NEED CLINTON
WE NEED A NEW PERSON AND I DO TRUST OBAMA ... THIS IS NOT ABOUT BLACKS OR WHITE IT IS ABOUT OUR NATION . WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN RUN IT AND BRING CHANGE IN THIS COUNTRY AND MAKE IT A BETTER AND SAFER PLACE TO STAY .... I AM A WHITE PERSON AND I AM WITH OBAMA ALL THE WAY. WE SHOULD STOP ALL THIS RACISM ISSUES AND THINK OF OUR COUNTRY AND KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND WE ARE EQUAL.
OBAMA FOR 08 !!!
Well, we all know that Latino and Asian have always been anti-African American. Thoses Latinos and Asians were not the people who gave so much to America from the Plantation that gave free labor to the U.S to the lives of all those Blacks who gave their life during the civil war for this country to be United and powerful to welcome those Asians and Latinos who are now against Blacks. Well we'll wait what Hillary will do with those +12MILLIONS of illegal mostly hispanic immigrants. We can not reward those outlwas with an amnesty, they need to be sent back where they came from because most of them are criminal, and we all know how those hispanic are in a mission to overcome African American as yesterday's Biggest minority. THAT 12 MILLION WE NEED TO MULTIPLY BY AT LEAST 2 COZ THEY HAVE KIDS WHO ARE NOW VOTING FOR HILLARY ( who is pro illigal immigrants) AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS. those Latino gangs don't attack whites they attack blacks and they believe they are better American than Blacks who gave so much to this country. We need to deport all those illigal immigrants who are coming here to kill Americans.
It's people like you who promote racism, Schneider!
This shows that Obama should be the one to go up against the Republicans in the fall. He is like a freight train. He wins people over and makes them realize there is more to the political process than being divided by petty party lines.
Murthy ... maybe Obama causes a cross from republican to democrat, or how about the independent vote ... for the general election lou dobs pionted out that it is around (i don't remember the exact stats) 1/3 rep 1/3 dem and 1/3 INDEPENDENT ... if he can get the majority of the independent and also some of the liberal republicans, then he would win the general WITHOUT the base ... isn't that the point of the whole thing to win the General election, and which can beat McCain easier ... a bleeding heart card carying ACLU member who over 50% of the general public polled said that they would vote for anybody but her ... or a new face who can swing away republicans by playing the middle ... lets get out of partisan politics and appeal to the independents who "Don't we deserve a government that works?" 'Lou Dobbs
CNN might as well throw an endorsement to Obama....
Obama-biased news flood the website...
I agree with Rafi68 above, I tuned to Fox news for the results, could not stand the CNN tilted, slanted reporting against Hillary.
Thank you California Latinos, VIVA Hillary amigos.
What happened to the Montana Republican results in your ticker?!? They were listed once – and now they're not there any more? We're small – but we still count!
Please check it out!
You know – something smells when exit polls are really different than the actual results. New Hampshire and now California. Makes me wonder if some of those unaccounted for millions in the Clinton global initiative are used to hack some of the machines there.
I love how all of the Hillary tools are screaming victory with only 10% of precincts from the most populous state reporting.
Why waste a vote on Hilary, might as well swap parties and vote McCain. Obama is the only candidate left with even a HINT of competent policy, and the only one with any real connection to the values of the Democratic party. Not that he is the shining beacon in either case, but he outpaces Clinton by leaps and bounds on that.
You Obama people are being brain washed and you and all of us will regret it if he is elected. I will vote Republican if he his the nominee after being a rigged democrat
Most of the states that Obama won are caucus states.. which are not truly representative of the total electorate of those states...
Obama is doing poorly among with latino voters again... and latino voters will be crucial in the general election. I daresay, John McCain could win California because of the Latino vote if Obama is in the general election.
Face the facts.. Hillary competes better in the states and the key demographics that matter most to winning the general election.
Yes John, Obama speaks like a preacher. And I don't hear anything of substance. And Thank You, he didn't vote for the war because he was MIA.
Interesting that so many of the exit polls favor Obama and yet, Clinton has the lead in the vote. Either people are lying on the way out or something a bit shady is going on. (This is not just in California)
Someone explain to me why Latinos are voting in such large numbers for Hillary ... I hope it is not a vote for Bill..... it can't be "change" ...... because she and "he" are both part of the Democratic establishment. Just wondering.... Do you all realize how disliked these two are outside of the democratic establishment? I voted for Bill both times...but it is a new day.... let's move forward, already.
Racial card always played first by bl... afro-americans,remember O.J.Simpson case ?
Omaba as a president is a mystery, Clinton is predictable. we all need stability, not a "change". I can guarantee, that in my community Obama find no support
Thanks Ryan, someone that sees through the inspirational fluff.
"Am I the only "young" person who realizes that Obama won't actually bring any of the so-called "changes" to fruition? Nothing will ever deviate much from the status quo, short of a cataclysmic event (i.e., the Great Depression), so we might as well vote for someone who actually has experience instead of empty promises."
Why Asians are favoring Hillary is beyond me. This Asian American voted for Obama!
"Well, this Asian supported Obama. I can't believe the stupidity of my fellow Asians."
All 75% of them?????
Whatever happened to just reproting the news-just the facts without racial or PERSONAL bias???! My mother was a journalist and she would be appalled as would I am sure Mr. Murrow. CNN and others really do make me sick...you are the detriment of this country and of elections. I don't think you should be allowed to report anything until all ballots are counted and then only the numbers PERIOD.
Oh, so wrong. I am a white woman and I LOVE HILLARY! If you saw the crowd that gathered at her Town Hall, you would think twice!
Exactly Ryan! I'm a young person too (26 years old), but I realize that the US government has it's checks and balances which will prevent radical change to happen. Small incremental changes are possible for a president, but if you want to see major changes, you better wish that America becomes a dictatorship. Lobbyists will still exist, and you'll still have the old establishment like the Kennedys (who ironically endorsed Obama) still in office.
Why get caught up in exit polls? Did you stop and watch when you voted today how many people did not fill out an exit poll? If only 30% of the voters stop to fill out this poll, how acurate can it be?
"Am I the only "young" person who realizes that Obama won't actually bring any of the so-called "changes" to fruition? "
Most of the young educated Asian Californians are with you, judging by the CNN statistics.
I am an Asian and I am a Hillary supporter. Very proud that Asian is helping Hillary in California. Obama is not an honest candidate by all means. He refused to give straight answers to questions raised by 80-20 when he was given the equal opportunity as Hillary and Edward had. His camp only came back few days before the California primary with answers in the hope of getting some Asian votes. Asian won't fooled. You ignored Asian, and you will not get Asian votes. Go Hillary, you get my whole hearted support! Shame on you Obama!
The people are saying they are FED UP with the overtly biased mainstream media.
The poor Hillary supporters believe that they are getting ClintonRedux. Sequels usually don't work, although Godfather II was good and there are similarities to Hillary there. And certainly 2009 is different from 1993. Hopefully before the election Hillary supporters will realize that she would be terrible for the country. Change and experience is needed and Obama has both.
Well, this story is just one more reason to look to other news outlets. CNN is so shamelessly biased towards Obama, I will be getting my news from MSNBC or even Fox News going forward.
Anything is better than this travesty of the "news."
You are all forgetting that early voting was allowed in California since mid-January, before Obama started matching Clinton in opinion polls. . The individuals giving their opinions in exit polls are telling the researchers who they voted for today. The early voters are not part of this equation.
Its all about delegates. Right now things are tight and this works to Obama's advantage.Clinton may win California but not by a margin huge enough to give her a clear lead. Mind you the wind of change is blowing in both directions, North for Obama, South for Clinton. It is foolish to count chicks before they are hatched. 13 % return is not big enough to decide the vote. I have watched Clinton's lead in Missouri evaporating from 15 to 1 % point. So anything is possible. Obama for sure will make a push even if he losses it won't be a huge blow
thanks Lwerence. Obama is wolf in sheeps clothing.
"Hillary congratulated her opponent for a great race in her speech tonight.
Obama continued to attack her.
Hopefully people will see right through Mr. Obama and realize that he would do whatever he needs to simply to become the President.
That's not "change." That's status quo.
Go Hillary!"
Shame on any Obama supporter who claims anyone who votes for Hillary is uneducated. I fall in the realm of highly educated and well-paid...I support Hillary. I know who she is, and what she stands for. I find that I am not naiive, I don't fall for empty rhetoric of an undeliverable utopia....and I AM ONLY 25!!
May God help us if Obama gets in because he is 'cool'. Coolness won't solve our problems.
In a society where the politically correct are far too prevalent already, it's actually refreshing to see the open mention of race at all. As Americans we should be proud of our differences and, more importantly, our right to maintain them.
YES WE CAN! I think its pretty sad that Obama has stolen the Hispanic/Chicano slogans thinking it will give them the vote. Sorry Obama it takes substance not empty rhetoric. BTW the UFW supports Hillary as does Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez's children.
I'm absolutely disgusted by the bias against Hillary. It's pretty shocking, actually. She could win 21 states and CNN would find a way to focus on Obama having momentum because he won one.
I saw an answer by a Republican congressman on Bill Maher that echoed my theory on the Hillary Hate. He said she was divisive because she tried to fix health care back in the 1990s. He didn't mention that the insurance industry spent $300 million (which was a lot more back then) attacking her efforts and that the media got involved like the pawns they are by going after her and Bill.
Just ask why CNN setup Michael Moore when Sicko came out and ambushed and slandered his movie on the problems with the US Health Care system on live TV. Same reason as Hillary then and Hillary now. The media has huge ties to the drug, insurance and HMO companies and attacks ANYONE who looks like a legitimate threat. Obama is not one based on his plan. Edwards was and they pretended he didn't exist.
This won't be posted anyways because CNN has moderated posts...I just hope whoever reads this and doesn't post it goes home and reads 1984 and that warms your cold heart.
Matt: Hillary is ahead by 80 deligates today alone. Adding to her lead of 90 going in, at this point Obama would need to win CA with a lead of 50% or so just to to pull even. That's not happening.
She's ahead by 22% with 10% reporting, which is almost identical to what it was with 2% reporting. With such a large number of voters, quite a small portion can often be used to project the winner. The only chance of a turnaround is if the results so far are from areas very weighted toward clinton.
Wolfe: Hillary takes AZ. well that was fast what no Spectacular! O I forgot she's not O
In order for our country to move forward, we need to accept who we are, our difference et what we have in common. This country is built on race, we cannot ignore that, we should confront it. Obama is uniting us. It will be a real lost for America to put Obama away because of his race.
Bill Schneider has done what is right. He has reported the data as there are. If you have a problem with that, then it is so because of your own prejudice.
I love how Obama wants to "change" Washington when he's part of it! What has he done to CHANGE Washington since being in the Senate?
NOTHING.
HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT 2008
ROBERTO IN NJ....that was an ignorant comment..... I hope you are not representative of the Latino vote.
OBAMA will win and be the best thing for this country!
CA – 55% -30% but their exit polls say its still competitive. yes I know only 15% reporting. Have to wonder what they would be saying if O was the 55%?
The educated are the ones who think about things and not jump on a band wagon with what others are bombarding you with A.k.a. Obama adds and biased reporting.
Thinking about it, Hillary is the stronger candidate. Go Hillary!! We're with you all the way!
McCain VS Obama... should be interesting... *smile*
ROBERTO IN NJ....that was an ignorant comment..... I hope you are not representative of the Latino vote.
GO Hillary, yes you can, and you did win California. MSNBC just called it..
cnn...BIASED a little?
"You know – something smells when exit polls are really different than the actual results. New Hampshire and now California. Makes me wonder if some of those unaccounted for millions in the Clinton global initiative are used to hack some of the machines there."
Must be Bubba (as the wizard of oz) manipulating all this levers behind the curtains – he's everwhere tonight!!!
Grow up.
Just goes to show you how race still plays in politics, more than ever in 2008. I'm in CA and voted proudly for Obama, but you hear talk radio and others say just because he is black, they will not vote for him..yet they hate Hillary. They feel that if she gets the nomination, then the Republicans can tear her up on the flip -flopping she has showed (needless to say, I stop listening to talk radio during this election). Its so pitiful... forgive me for being naive, but I thought maybe people will look at what each candidate stands for and how they can deal with issues we have here at home and how we can mend some international fences...rather than what they look like. Obama may not tackle issues that I am focusing on as much as I would like , but he's the closet figure that reflects my views.
I can't stand 4 more years of a Republican and I pray that the Clinton's don't get back in the White House. Well, there's my two cent...everyone have a good night.
CNN is so in love with Obama that they spin everything in his favor. as they were showing his live speech they displayed a big caption across the screen that read:
OBAMA AND CLINTON IN COMPETITIVE RACE IN CALIFORNIA. Meanwhile when the very small ticker at the bottom of the screen was scrolling current results and it came to California, Hillary was leading by a 55% to 32% margin over Obama. But they had to deceive the viewers by saying it was competitive. In other words he was losing but they couldn't just display a headline saying "Clinton leading big over Obama in California". This has been going on for weeks now with CNN and they are taking it to new levels in their infatuation of this guy.
Viva Hillary! She has the overwhelming support of NY, Cali, FL & Ohio...4 of the 5 largest delegate counts in the nation! She will win, even if it goes to convention! wooooohooooo!!!
Oh people don't fight over all of this. CNN and FOX are in the same bed together. They are biased reporting media. All of this about 'best political team on tv' ... nice try CNN.
I turned over to CBS tonight. Much more fair and less bias reporting.
CNN called Hillary out of the race after Iowa, even though she only lost by like one delegate or so.
CNN said that MO an all important state until she started to win it, then they said that the most important was MN since Obama won it.
CNN, if you count in one day, give Obama more positive air time both online and on tv. Clinton might get as many headlines but the phrasing of her headlines inspires negativity and doubt, some often evoke bad feelings ... such as race.
White voters are clearly more divided amongst the candidates. This does show that race is not an issue for white voters. Black voters are much more likely to vote for Obama. This makes you wonder if it is about race for them. White women seem to be more for Clinton, but not black women.
I'd advise everyone to just wait until everything is in.
Clinton today.
Obama tomorrow.
Think ahead dems.
Anti-CNN
Simple – Hispanic and Asian voter will not go for a black. A lot of whites will not vote for a black. Republicans will gain hispanic votes, asian votes, and no-black white votes in the general election.
Obama is having a hard time among the Democrat faithfull, in the general election he gets creamed. Blacks make up only 11-15% of the US population and they have poor voting turnout.
In the primaries the black vote is making Obama a candidate. The black vote in the Demorcratic primary is a much much higher percentage of the vote total than what it will be in the general election.
Obama will get the nomination, but he is the one person that guarantees the Republicans will win. California will vote republican in the general election and insure a republican win.
I must applaud the republican strategy. Obama will insure a republican win and the hispanic, asian, and no-black white vote will migrate from democratic party.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Hillary nomination = McCain vote from this Democrat.
Some of you still do not understand. Just because the most hard-line liberals among us like her and agree with some of her policies does NOT mean she is electable in a GENERAL ELECTION. She would get walloped!! Wake up!!
By the way, Missouri is delivering for Obama now despite some early predictions. What happened California? Hopefully this will tighten up as more of the non-mailin votes are counted.
Hillary said she would give California back to Mexico if they vote for her.Go Hillary.The fix is in and Hill will win.
NBC projects Clinton win in CA.
I'm an advanced practice nurse with a Masters degree and I support Hillary. I do not believe myself to be uneducated
If some of you actually use the logic that you support Hillary because Obama is a liar...
please go back to never never land and smell reality... for I shall call you all hypcrites.
All it takes is for you to listen to Clinton speak in each state, and basically insulting each region "with her made up accents" which is just pathetic...
that doesn't even go into her policies
Congratulations to Senator H. Clinton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. She just has won the wonderful state of California!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but unlike CNN who can't seem to bring themselves to call California for Hillary – CBS did and Hillary took California!!!!!!!!!!! As for Obama, he should get a new slogan, "Hype We Don't Believe In"
If some of you actually use the logic that you support Hillary because Obama is a liar...
please go back to never never land and smell reality... for I shall call you all hypocrites.

Honestly, it is about race. Anyone who is realistic about Race in America knows that most Latinos don't like Blacks and neither do most Asians. As an educated Latina I wish that I could sway the Latino vote to Obama, because he can really change this country for the better. But in reality, my Latino family members, co-workers and friends won't vote for Obama and neither will my Asian friends, and the reason is because he is black. I wish there was another reality, but that is what it is like in Orange County, CA.
The devil himself can come and vote for Hillary, He may even bring all his armies. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Bill Clinton may yell at reporters, he may even bark. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Hillary and Bill Clinton may say all kind of lies and use all kind of dirty tactics to destroy their opponents. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Marketers and political strategists may repackage Hillary Clinton and sell her to us. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
All Clinton supporters can vote for her as long as they want. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
The Clintons may change the rules in the middle of the game; they may want to count shamelessly the Michigan and Florida delegates or use a so-called "win" in Florida to gather a dishonorable momentum. All that will not matter. Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.
Why?
Americans in the vast majority are people with a good judgment. They know and see what the Clintons are.
Please, please!!
Don't fall victim to the Clinton's. They have used their political machines to do harm to the Obama campaign.
We need a leader that will represent us well throughout the world. . .and this is not the Clinton's!!
We need A CHANGE, folks! Forget about the Clinton's and Bush leadership. We need someone who will do us proud.
Vote OBAMA!!!!!
it is getting very clear out there with the polls all showing that race is still a big part of this great country of ours and becoming more evident as the election goes on. the preacher ( OBAMA ) stands up and sounds out a wonderful verse. but alas no sustance once again this listner still see's no evidence of a candidate who is worthy of the title president and yes i say hilary does she deserves it she has proven herself worth of the task prime example ted kennedy and john kerry openly support obama and what did it get him hmmmmm who won that state... time the obama people wiped the webs of obamanasime from there eyes and see that there is a world out there a world were we can become one instead of this yes we can chant with once again i have to say it. NO SUBSTANCE
GO HILARY 2008
OBAMA-–He helped the poor.........Obama should be the choice..........he has really accomplished more than any other person thought...........I would say that America is slowly coming around..........if we vote for the issues it will be Obama......if we look at race Hillary could sneak in............I feel sorry for the Latinos if theyt don't care for blacks but I do believe that at some point they will come around.........Just remember look at the issues...........God Bless America..........Go Obama.........
HILLARY WINS CALIFORNIA!! PROJECTED WINNER ACROSS ALL MAJOR NEWS CHANNELS!!
McCain v. Obama? You can bet that we'll have another Republican administration.
Schneider's title could easily be: Obama losing among Women (39% vs 57%), Latinos (34% vs 66%) and Asians(25% vs 75%). And Latinos and Asians comprise 36% of voters vs only 7% black voters. and 54% of voters are women. Schneider has lost his reputation as a journalist, more like a extremely biased political pundit who likes spinning.
This race is more about issues that shouldn't count than it is about substance. If anyone disagrees, please explain Romney's 88% in Utah without mentioning religion. We've become a polarized society, in part thanks to candidates who will exploit anything to win. This election could do a lot of damage to our society – as evidenced by many of the posts on this site.
HILLARY, we need you to help heal our country from two terms of the Bush administration. You offer us so much. . . and we have to all want to unite - one person cannot do that for us it begins within each individual to desire that. So with personal responsibility I go foward. Hillary will win!!
OBAMA 2008! let's get someone who can relate with the rest of the world in Obama and not condone a cheating spouse for their own political gains – like Hillary has.
Obama is a product of the MEDIA! Nothing more.
If you were educated... you would see through the hype.
CNN's coverage of the democratic party' primary has been the most bias news reporting that I have ever witness. It is without a doubt, there is a bias towards Obama. Go Hillary Go.
Hillary should be given a chance to straighten out the mess the country is in. Then in four years, Obama should be ready and more experienced for the next four years if she can't get a dent put in this George Walker Bush crap. Its going to be the biggest mess to clean up and alot of blame and heat will be placed on the new president. I don't think Hillary has anything to gain personally seeking the office Obama does.
Go Hillary! May the Lord help you along the way!
The media once again race baiting and then will put the blame on the Clintons. As an Obama supporter I can see it clearly and I wish my fellow Obama supporters would see this.
Also, someone mentioned a few days ago on here, that the Obama supporters tend to go against what Sen. Obama stands for and I echo that. Please stop the attack on Sen. Clinton. Sen. Obama is about unity not hatred.
Democrats are for untity. Let's go democrats.
can someone please tell me why everyone likes obama so much other than the fact that he's for change (they're all for change) or the fact that they're just jumping on the bandwagon?
go asians and latinos! right on!
rock on, hil, rock on.
WE ALREADY HAD CLINTON IN OFFICE, SO WHY WOULD WE WANT HER AGAIN? I'M NOT READY FOR A WOMEN PRESIDENT, ESPECIALLY A CLINTON. I'M A REPUBLICAN, BUT I WILL ADMIT THAT I DO LIKE OBAMA.
Any Democrat who says they vote Republican if Hillary is the candidate is guilty of making her unelectable. If your party majority wants her, then you should accept the majority rule of vote, and give the White House to the Dems. The House and Senate NEED a Democratic White House to get things done in this country!!
Don't be too sure that Republicans won't vote for Hillary after what their party did to America the last 8 years.
if america elect black prezident they are going to have cituation like in kenia.
Only Ignorant Democrats would give their vote to a Republican. I am an Obama supporter and if he is not the nominee, I will NOT VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN.
The thing that bothers me about Hillary is that people seem to either love her or hate her. That will not bode well in the general election. I seriously doubt that she can attract independents like she does the Democratic base, and she certainly will not pull many Republican votes. If we want a Democrat in the White House, Obama is the only sure winner.
People need to read this and maybe do some of their own investigation. Listen to Obama during the DEBATE, NOT the speeches. His speeches are prewritten and nothing more than motivational. But you see in his debate how he never answers the tough questions.
February 5, 2008 11:58 pm ET
One of the comments here was saying Obama was just so holy because he doesn't deal with lobbyists. Was that commentator aware that the silver tongued serpent of Hyde Park makes extensive use of them as campaign advisors? He refuses to discuss that with the press–but then again, he stiff-arms the press…even those segments of the press that fawn all over him. He is not the Christ-like figure some here are making him out to be. He's as phony as most other politicians–he just fools you because he strings words together well. Maybe he'll get the nomination, and maybe he'll get elected in November, but all you "change" folks better remember one crucial point….be very careful in making requests, because in the end, you will get what you asked for, but not in the way YOU intended….I smell Jimmy Carter more than I smell Bobby Kennedy (BTW–happen to notice who Bobby Kennedy's offspring decided to endorse…just a thought).
Obama won states that WON'T vote democrat in November...but the media doesn't mention that. Vote for Hillary..stick it to the man!
Obama did wonderfully tonight!! He did much MORE than was expected! Missouri was just called for him!
I'm so proud to have caucused for this man!
Obama '08
Republicans would vote for Hillary , in the ceneral election, but not fo for , the kid on the block . For the republicans will, dump all his dirty laundry out for the public to sort threw. May find a loose check , from Farrakhan. And many more from the great state of Ill.
I hope Hillary wins the nomination and chooses Obama as VP. In 8 years he will win and be really ready. I haven't heard him say much of anything specific and John McCain and the republicans will tear him a new one I'm afraid.
Biased, oh yes. No sooner did cnn call Clinton the winner of California that the pundits were spinning that she'll have some problem related to dollars to fund her campaign. Can you let us ride the high and not rush to go "there"? If it was Obama who they were discussing we'd hear about how great and filled his pockets are.
I have no worries about her funding– all interested parties, lets back her, go to HillaryClinton.com
Zipo, get a life!
I am Latino, and I have voted for a female African American candidate for posts in the past.
Your message of "We need to deport all those illigal immigrants who are coming here to kill Americans" shows your immense racial animosity toward Latinos and Asians.
I voted for a white woman, because she is the most experienced person to lead this country. She doesn't vote "present", she has ideas, and she's not only about blowing hot air.
SF, CA
Choosing a president because of cool factor could lead to disaster like Iraq war, Bay of Bigs, Cuban Missile crisis, etc. We need a president who look at this jot with a serious ideas how to solve it. Just find a cool way to say I bring change and nothing more. I like JFK, the myth even though, he was before my time. His speeches were very elegant and no hint of arrogance. I like Obama too but his thin on specifics, and more rhetorics just do not cut it for me. And when I listen to Senator Obama's speeches, I detect a hint of arrogance and smugness unlike JFK
Joey
Mike -
I wouldn't write Hillary off too soon for getting along with Republicans, if you knew anything about her, she has a very strong , successful record in the Senate for working across the aisle with Republicans and Democrats alike. Hillary is the one!
This voter believes Bill Clinton was right 'on the money' when he pointed out, over and over, how this contest was about race. STUPIDLY – about race. The race issue is plastered everywhere we ALL look, folks! Hasn't the last seven and a half years of stonewalling and extreme partisanship taught us Democrats anything?
Just because I am a "Hillary" woman – does NOT mean I am against Barack. Obama (from my perch) is eloquent and he DOES have Kennedy-esque visions. Hillary and Barack each share MLK-esque visions ... or, as I'd like to call them John Lennon "Imagine" visions. These are the visions we Americans need to fix our eyes upon ... that we may all day "live as one", free of any and all racial hatred.
Remember, "Headlines" sell ... they draw our attention and rile us internally making us lose our focus. Remember – our focus should continue to be upon change, be it via Hillary or Barack.
Gary, get past your sexism.
Countries all over the world have elected women as their leaders.
There are 3 Latin American countries (which are seen as "macho" countries) who have women presidents. Nicaragua has also had a woman president.
Our neighbors to the north had Kim Campell.
Our British friends had Margaret Thatcher for 12 years.
India had Indira Gandhi.
The Philippines has had Corazon Aquino, and they currently have a woman leader.
Should I go on?
Get out from under your rock. You are GOP so, what can we expect?
This title is ridiculus. Completely biased, misleading, how dare you call it "reporting"? The media's bias against Hillary is almost disgusting. What's their problem? Shame on you CNN!
Missouri was a near draw, with a negligible difference. Barely goes one way or the other...look for it to tell you nothing.
The only thing I hate from Barack Obama is that it looks like he just knows how to talk all the good things while everyone has already known that he can't even do a thing to whatever he wanted to say in his ad!. All he wanted to do is "I want this, I want that....blah...blah" in his ad. And I have to say that it looks like CNN is being angry with the results from California!.
Without looking at the final vote and comparing that to the electorate, you can't be sure whites really voted for Obama as much as they say. People often lie so they don't appear racist. Also, you can't take an exit poll of the early voters. I believe the white vote was close, but I'm skeptical that more whites voted for him than for Hillary.
Ben, You can be sure that no Republicans I know will ever vote for Hillary.
mike you got it right.
Zipo,
My parents are not illegal immigrants, and I ALWAYS vote Democrat – REGARDLESS of race, gender.
My brother in MN voted for Obama.
Stop your generalizing, and you'll be a much happier person.
PEOPLE...don't be fooled by these angry comments!!!
Most voters don't spend there time being influenced by hateful rhetoric on the web...they have real jobs and real opinions.
If Clinton wins the nom...a TINY percentage of sore losers will vote against her...the rest of the country is NOT that angry...only us nerds on the internet.
I'm a dedicated Hillary supporter...but, I'm a DEMOCRAT FIRST...both candidates will do pretty much the same thing in reality.
I think Obama is a arrogant, government demonizing, televangilist...but, I'll still vote for him if he wins...we HAVE TO SAVE OUR SUPREME COURT NOMINEES!!!
Take a chill and live to fight/vote another day.
Many people died so we could have this choice!
It's a privlege.
I am a democrat (white woman, over 50)...never voted any other way, because there was always a Dem available to trust and support. If Hillary were to win the nomination, I will vote for "Character" first.... gotta give that one to McCain. It is not over just becuase of Cali's vote. I predict that many of these predominantly Red states with predominantly white voters who have voted overwhelmingly for Obama are anti-Hillary voters. Like I said, when it is a choice between Hillary and John McCain, we would have to actually "believe" Hillary to support her...the only thing I believe about Hillary is that she is an extremely ambitious politician... not at all a champion of the people.
Here We Go Again
The downplay of a Senator Clinton's victory by bias and subjective reporting runs rampit. This report is evident of that statement.
absentee ballots and early voting played a large role in the Clinton victory... its got its upsides and downsides.
Its funny that people are complaining about race & gender being a factor in this election. It was always a factor in politics. In 230 some odd years there's never been a racial minority, female, or combination of both so close to receiving a US Presidential nomination. Were there never any that could do the job? Of course there were but bigotry and prejudice held them back. White males and white women have been keeping white males in the most powerful positions of political office since this country began and only now, after re-electing the worst President in our history and allowing this country to crumble, are they desperate enough to consider the possibility of giving someone "different" a chance.
I am black and since gaining the right to vote over 20 years ago I have always done so for one white male or another for President. Racial minorities have demonstrated our willingness to cast our votes for people who don't look like us. Black people helped carry Bill Clinton in office with over 80% of our vote. Black women afforded Hillary and many other white women the opportunity to sit with the most powerful leader in the free world as his First Lady – a title no black woman has worn. Black people voted overwhelmingly for Gore and Kerry. It was not us who dropped the ball and allowed Bush a 2nd term.
This time its the majorities turn to us show that they can vote for people who don't look like themselves or aren't the same sex as themselves. As a black woman I say that I've already proven myself and done my part. I like Obama's message. I think he can be a voice of reason in this troubled world. I think he can do the job well with the right advisors as every President needs. I trust that he's got black people's best interest at heart as well as the rest of America and I have never had that comfort. I'm not going to feel guilty about voting on that basis alone.
YES HILLARY CLINTON WINS CALIFORNIA BY A LANDSLIDE
SHE IS NOT THE STATUS QUO CLUTCHING HER PEARLS AT THE THE YACHT CLUB LIKE SOME NONINFORMS PONDER..
YES CLINTON TAKES CALIFORNIA... READ EM AND WEEP. THE NUMBERS HAVE SPOKEN..
GO ALL THE WAY HILLARY CLINTON
GO VOTE FOR CLINTON BECAUSE YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER COULD NOT.
I am an Asian American in Los Angeles, CA. I really tried hard to find reasons to vote for Obama. I've gone to his website to read up his issues. I've gone to his rally. I watched the debates. But in the end, he reminded me too much like Bush: arrogant, condescending, chauvinistic. He rallied behind change, yet has he changed Illinois politics much? He voted "present" because it's part of the Illinois "rough and tumble" politics. Instead, he should've voted yes/no on important issues if he were as independent and free from "same old" as he claimed. I would've loved to vote for the first African-American president today, but Obama was not the man. I'm glad my vote helped California be Clinton Country!!!
HILLARY CLINTON is Tracy Flick as portrayed by Reese Witherspoon in the movie "Election".
Tracy Flick is an overachiever. She is smart, brilliant, and ambitious, but cold, ruthless and manipulative and running for school president.
Matthew Broderick (her teacher) cannot stand her so he persuades a less smarter but more popular jock everyone likes and who is basically an overall good guy (similar to Obama) to run against her. Tracy does her opponent in, then slowly drives Matthew Broderick, the voice of conscience, into ruin.
I swear, watching what is happening now is like seeing a rerun of 'Election', only real-life adult version.
Everyone should watch the movie 'Election'.
It's not that we "hate'" Obama because he's black. His speeches make broad "wonderful" statements but where's the substance? How does he plan to unite all Americans when his campaign was so heavily grounded in appealing to the African American community in the inner cities and deep South? The man just does not come across as being practical or worst still, smacks of insincerity. If there was an African American personlaity that I could have voted for , Collin Powell would have fitted the bill better as a man who spoke his conscience in admitting the mistakes on his speech to the UN. Obama is conveniently absent from having to make all those tough calls.
Some people want change at all cost but some changes can be for the worse. We have already lost almost 8 years to the Bush administration, but going for another greenhorn in the Oval office does not make things right. America cannot afford another failed experiment whether Democrat or Republican.
Will Mr. Schneider care to have some salt with his crow?
Does the biased CNN and Bill Schneider ever feel the shame of the egg on its face? Are you in a denial mode or something? Why would you just not accept Sen Clinton's win over Sen Obama? Are you sexists that you would not accept a woman winning over a man?
Grow up CNN, grow up Schneider!!
You cannot get a media's darling to be the next President of the USA. Americans have a mind of their own.
Learn a lesson from the egg on your face, else you'd be the next to face people's ire,
I dare CNN to publish this post. Lets see if they're man enough to read their own criticism.
Both, Obama and Clinton are excellent people for the job. We should be happy that we don't have to vote for the lesser of the evils, like the Republicans have to.
This said, I root for Hillary, because Obama will be president for sure down the line), but he still has time to gain more experience and Hillary is 60, this may be her only shot at the job. And yes, she has much more experience.
Obama won states tonight that for the most part will vote republican in the fall period. I like him just fine, but I think the republicans will hand his butt to him if he's the nominee. The press has been jumping all over anybody who dares criticize him, but the republicans don't care and it will work.
Why is it that I keep seeing this "experience" argument brought up? Hillary actually has less legislative experience than Mr Obama. Those of you that believe that, are you sure it is not because you have heard her name out there for so many years? Don't confuse her accomplishments with Bill's....side by side their (Barack's & Hillary's) experience is pretty much the same....except, he has never been a First Lady, and he accomplished all of this at a much younger age. Barack and Michelle: No baggage...no scandal....a breath of fresh air, not old bad memories. I am making another donation.... change is in the air!!
As a canadian political observer, I am fascinated of how you conduct your election. I just love watching the debates, lots of improvement from 2004 getting away from the negative attacks and focus on the issue especially on the democratic side. HURRAY for that. I hope that the media will focus on the issues and positive comments. I applauded most of your political commentator (CNN) the way they presented the facts objectively without bias except for Bernstein?? It seems he is spinning bad thoughts about the Clinton's. OVERALL you guys are doing a GOOD JOB showing to the whole world what DEMOCRACY is all about.
I am happy for you Hillary that you kicked Obama's butt today.
HILLARY CLINTON 08
I have been watching CNN for a long time and have always felt you were fair until this election. I have never seen a network so biased. I think you are so afraid to say something bad about Obama because you might get accused of being a racist and losing your jobs. When Hillary wins CNN always has an excuse why she won. You need to tell it like it is.
Mmm...
Here you go again! Even though she is winning, your title still says "loosing".
You are supposed to be a journalist. Not a trumpet for Obama.
I'm TRULY disgusted with CNN, MSNBC, et al. –
As I recall, CNN gleefully reported last night that their "oh so reliable" polls indicated that the "Obama surge" had not only "closed the gap" in California, but that Obama had actually OVERTAKEN Clinton in Cali...This completely contradicted the polls that were taken on Sunday (02/03/05)...
Needless to say, I was stunned and very suspicious of CNN's report of 30 POINT INCREASE for Obama virtually OVERNITE....
Well, not only did Hillary win Cali, but thse results were more consistent with previous polls...Was this intentional or just a mistake???
In my opinion, these false reports are a DELIBERATE attempt to infuance the outcome of the California primary...
I don't know about you guys, but I'm TIRED of the media (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) trying to MANIPULATE the outcome these primaries....
Hey CNN – "Yellow Journalism" SERIOUSLY jeopardizes your LEGENDARY JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY ...After all, you can't fool all of the people all of the time...
whats with all the hillary campaign spamming. its too obvious, guys.
CNN may not like it, but Hillary is the democratic candidate!
few questions:
- What Bill will be called if Hilary get the white house?
- Is America short of Talents and Leaders so it is either Clintons or Bushies? I mean this is quite inspired by Third World All-Time leaders?!
- Clinton should stick to its strength, being anything but fun and a source of inspiration! I mean she looks bad when she waves and try to connect to the audience
- Hilarys seems better for VP role with all these Policy Details, President should never worry of the details! I mean this is why there is a Cabinet!
- Obama is appealing to non US citizens, US is not a fortress for its citizen what happens in D.C. affects the Globe, and in Future the space! maybe more delegates to UN representatives?
- Kerry! Oh man ... no comment
- I cant really understand the Latin Americans Position?! I mean would someone explain what Hilary has accomplished so they are running in her favor? I am trying to understand what polarize or motivate Latin American Votes
- Arab/ or Middle East American voters?
- on Migration: why not proposing a points system?! like Canada, AUS, NewZ, and UK ... later EU
Friends:
For a change… your vote matters.
Why Obama matters (see bottom for supporting docs):
Barack Obama opposed the Iraq invasion, indisputably, flatly, boldly,
and with political courage, the same week Clinton voted for the war
and caved to the FOX-media tide.
In 2006, Israel killed hundreds of Lebanese civilians with US cluster
bombs provided by the Pentagon, slaughtering 140 kids (in fact, pieces
of the bombs continue to kill children today.) In response, Senator
Obama voted to limit the Pentagon’s cluster-bomb spending. Clinton,
who could be fairly described as a media cheerleader for the same
Israeli bombing raids, voted against the proposal, helping to defeat
it.
Boldly, in the May Day Rallies of that same year, Obama took another
unpopular but righteous position when he was one of only two US
Senators (Kennedy was the other) to march with illegal immigrants –
families who come here from dire poverty to try to eke out a decent
existence, something any upstanding father or mother would not neglect
to do if they found themselves stuck in a Mexican slum where there is
no clean water, no way of earning money, and plywood and sheet metal
for walls. In the most recent debate, Clinton scapegoated these
immigrants, arguing they take jobs from the US poor, something studies
repeatedly have shown to be a fallacy.
Obama has put together a universal health care package that amounts to
a real sea-change, and he also has provided details to balance its
costs responsibly, which will help his chances of bipartisan success.
Further, the plan includes a Medicare choice that would open a channel
to the development of a national health plan, such as they have in
Canada and Britain, where health care is thought of as a public
service, like how we already deal with the mail, national security,
the police, environmental protection, road service, schools, and so
on….

you know but u just dont wanna accept it...obama is aleader..hillary is just another politician
Thank you SEZME....for some actual "relevant" information.
I do not think any Demo favor Iraq war once the facts were exposed. We can't always go back to see what one thing over the others. I strongly apposed war at time. But I understood there are some complications during their decision processes especially with made up reports by Bush Admin.
Clinton is more elect-able than Obama. She was attacked by Republicans for years. We know what would look like when compete with Republican nominee.
In addition, Clinton got detailed plans for executions. How long will get Obama there and how? If the medical insurance is not mandatory, how much difference it will be from now? It is off track of Democ’s mission. What Republicans held to against him is a mystery since he had never been an effective contender in the past.
I am more concerned of his connection with Louis Farrakhan. What else? Any explosive bomb will take Demo out of the picture? Do you really what to see that happen?
Go Hillary!!!!!!!!! Universal Medicare is the way of USA!!!
As a young progressive....18 and a male by the way and I'm for hillary. And no, i'm not buying into the hype that obama cultists spew. Don't misunderstand, I like and agree with obama's ideas and dreams, however idealistic rhetoric means nothing to me. As a realist and a pragmatist, at least i understand that ideals don't change reality ex. Bush. Spreading democracy anyone?. HIllary Clinton understands the realities, and change with bi-partisanship is never easy as orating a pre-written scripted immediate demand for change. Ah yes..of course the republican spin machine is simply going to fall over for the saintness of obama. I still remember the swiftboating and "flip-flopping" kerry against a draft-dodging and war mongering candidate that should've lost by double digits. A anti-war vietnam veteran and a purple heart recipient...thats as patriotic as u can get. Kerry failed to get tough, which i see also in Obama.
Of course its understandable that the "youth" should be behind such a "cool" canidate. Understandable as I am also part of the mtv generation, Where obviously style is valued over substance. It peeves me greatly as this country's reputation and status is at stake. Particulary, when i ask many of my peers why they support obama, they say change,i ask what change? they respond with again change. What constitutes as change?How is he different from Hillary in healthcare or the economy?Then they start ranting and attacking hillary on personality, dynasty, evil politicians etc, Stuff that has nothing to do with her qualifications as commander in chief. I have also never seen such blatant bias in the MSM against such a qualitfied candidate that has actual substance and experience.
Note to hillary-haters and obama cultists: perhaps it would do better for your cause if you would prefer to enlighten us about the specifics of obama's qualifications, policies etc and how they are better than hillary's.then maybe just attacking hillary and spouting conspiracy theories about how corrupt and racist the clintons are.just a suggestion.
GO HIillary!!! Congratulations on winning my home state California.
