CNN

VERY SHOCKED at the obviously blantant sexism I saw watching CNN…
Every time Obama won a state, it was HUGE PRAISE and tons of it too heaped on him ..
When Hillary won , they tried to figure out WHY she won and what it meant to Obama,
and the CAST of "pundits" seemed to get more and more caught up in it as the night went on…..
The only people I noticed who tried to keep the folks away from that was LOU DOBBS and ANDERSON COOPER …Bravo guys …
I know some of you cant stand the IDEA of a FEMALE president ,
but please …..keep it to yourselves …….. it was SHOWING BAD last night … very BAD …….
I love my PARTY and will support whoever wins my PARTY …
But please be FAIR "GENTLEMEN" and keep your personal ideas and feelings at HOME ….
I watched this go on AND on …on FOX … but we all EXPECT it from them …
NOT CNN…
UNITE our PARTY ..... HILLARY / BARACK

So...several of my Republican friends from Ohio have mentioned that, since McCain has essentially locked up the GOP nomination, they will be voting for Clinton in the open democratic primary in March. They obviously see her as much easier to beat in November. What do ya'll think the chances are that enough Republicans will cross-over to affect the outcome of these later open primaries?

Dispensing with all of the rhetoric about who is more liberal or conservative, who is more moderate of both parties, one thing seems pretty clear. McCain has more than half the delegates he needs to capture the Republican Party nomination and with Huckabee and Romney splitting "who is the most conservative" hairs, he likely will continue to snag the moderates, liberals and some conservatives disaffected with both and looking more towards who is most electable among the three. As far as the Democrats are concerned, the likelihood is that they will both arrive at the nominating convention lacking the number of pledged delegates needed to win. In that case, unless the polls show that Obama alone is guaranteed to beat McCain, the probability is that the unpledged super delegates, the elected and former party leaders, will choose Hillary. They are more comfortable with her and believe Obama still has to pay his dues.

I will vote AGAINST McCain (and the draft) whenever I can!

Someone tell Johnny Mc. nam was 40 years ago... get over it.. is that all you've got? Lots of us served in the mid to late 60's... we dont try to pound it into the ground relentlessly, quiet like you do. Mc is economically brain dead and I wouldn't follow this guy anywhere. He reeks of cronisism and insider backslapping arrogance.

I must ask the question.

What is a Canadian Teacher doing bloggin from 10:07 – 10:39 AM on a school day? An imported US teacher perhaps??

It’s amazing to me that a women who will not divorce her husband no matter how many women he has publicly been with;(just because she thinks he helps her politically), would get a majority of the female vote.

Is this the type of “strong woman” example that the women of this country think represent them?

UNBELIEVABLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It's sad that to hear Republicans say that they would support either of the liberal Democrats. Just remember 3 Supreme Court Justices might be decided in the next 4 years! So if your kids in the future have lots of problems because God is kicked further out of the country, abortion and same-sex marriages are dediced, then YOU are too blame.
Yep, you sound like teenagers who cry and whine to get their way. You who would elect a democrat out of spite??? You sound like teenagers.
So if you want to vote a democrat don't blame Mccain or Huckabee blame yourself. Afterall you are the ones voting.
As "High School Muscial" song goes, "You've got to get your head in the game" and vote Republican in Novemeber not matter who is the choice.

Hillary needs to work to maintain the white vote and the Latino vote. Obama needs to work trying to get more white and Latino votes. Afro Americans are with Obama no work needed to modify that decision. Even if Obama loses all the debates that sector is fix with him. Why the afro American community see positive the choice based on race affinity and then ask other communities to based their vote on issues, judgment, etc.

CHERYL,
Four points:
1) Typing in all caps does not help further your point, it actually detracts from the statement you're attempting to make.
2) Do research. You'll find that the Clinton campaign has connections to Rezko as well; however, unlike Obama, they did not return any of the monies related to said individual.
3) Speaking of criminal activity, a few things come to mind: White Water, Impeachment, Perjury, Disbarrment and now Clinton's involvment with approximately $136 million in charitable contributions from a "small-time" uranium miner that landed a suspcious deal in Kazakstan.
4) Obama has come all the way from double digit (that means greater than 10%) deficits to within .4% of Hillary, essentially drawing the race to a statistical tie. While this isn't clearly a victory for Obama, it isn't the huge lead that the Clinton Machine orginally predicted, which is, in a manner of speaking, a victory for the Obama campaign.

Perhaps I'm missing something that I'd have caught were I in the US, but it seems to me that a split decision helps the Democrats more than it helps Obama specifically. While an early and decisive win may have been nice for either of the candidates, I would expect that the undecided race for the Democrats would attract more coverage and more interest until it is put to rest. Shouldn't this help attract voters who are undecided over Rep/Dem and get both Clinton's and Obama's messages out?

Is America Forever Serious? This must be Romney's wife on the blogosphere. Nobody else could honestly call McCain a liar, cheat and traitor and Romney an "honorable man".

I'm not McCain's number one fan, but he at least has the honesty to be forthright with people, and votes his conscience rather than playing pure politics. Romney will say anything the day's audience wants to hear. It is hard to see how anyone but a family member could like this guy. He is the quintessential politician/used care salesman that is too full of it to stomach. We can only hope everybody this gullible stays home from the polls.

One can make a believable case for momentum was in BO's favor up to yesterday. Was the split advantageous for him? Maybe, maybe not. As a HC's supporter I woke up this morning and decided to open my wallet for her campaign. At least from my own little corner, the split did not help him – it made me feel that I should stop supporting HC or be more committing.

Creepy! Mrs. Trophy wife and the old geezer have the same smirk! Yikes!

I guess all McCain bashers want a republican candidate that only follws whatever the party says and does not compromise with the other party to get things done for the country. Mitt Romney was a moderate that moved very quickly to the right to run for president and now calls himself the only "conservative". Fortunately, the majority of republican are smarter that that and could see his real colors. With McCain at least we know exactly what his positions are and even if I don't agree with all of them, we know he says what he means.

GO McCain, you is the man!!! Only thing that would make you perfect is Jeb Bush as your VP.

McCain '08!!!!!

Kathy,

I agree with you. Mccain in office seems very scary. Why in the world are people voting for him ? he said it himself. 100 more years in Iraq. he also wants to invade Iran. there goes our economy for the next 5 years (1 bush + 4 Mccain), thousands of more soldiers and a lot more enemies. It should be very clear Mccain should be the last choice.

Do we care about the numbers of soldiers that are dying in Iraq? Or the billions we are spending? We want victory in Iraq? Can someone please define victory in Iraq? Does this mean killing all Al qaeda? Is that worth so many soldiers'
lives, trillions in spending and Mccan for president?

Also, someone remind me why Mccain is more qualified than Romney or Huckabee? Because Guliani endorsed him? What qualities does Guiliani have? Oh yeah, he showed up for his job during 9/11. thanks Guiliani, now go away.

I'm not accepting anymore ignorance and arrogance at the white house. We have too many critical issues to deal with such as global warming, oil dependency, immigration, the economy that have been neglected for years. Please be careful who you are choosing for president.

the only thing that seems "clear" to me is that as soon as Huckabee and Ron Paul disappear Mitt has a very good chance. The tide is swinging. Do you all remember this summer when McCain was all but washed up? I would never wish the old guy any bad will but it would be great if he is going to have some serious health issues(as many men do in thier 70's) they would manifest themselves quickly so we can nominate a good strong canidate. And whats with everyone just now coming forward to say what a mistake McCain would be? Thanks Dr. Dobson, just a little late don't you think?

Anyone else notice the Clinton supporters love to use caps lock? Is it necessary to yell in a comment section?

I like Clinton and Obama, I don't think there are that big of differences between the two besides maybe in Iraq/foreign relations, and health care. And to be honest, both of those are going to take a lot of work to make a dent in, and four years isn't going to probably do much to health care, especially if republicans aren't going to cross over due to the experience of partisanship. And washington experience does not seem to bring people together, it just tends to makes you more partisan.

Why do you think we voted for Bill in the early 90's? He didn't have much experience going in, yet every clinton supporter wants him back now. And yes, I went to the Rally at the Kodak, I saw plenty of Hillary supporters with "Bring back Bill, vote in Hillary" signs. She's running on her own, but I really wonder if the people who are voting for her are voting for her or the "2 for 1" deal?

Obama or the Clintons 08

hey check it out...there's the cheater and the cheatee!

I like McCain and as long as Hillary or Ron Paul doesn't get elected I'll be happy.

bev is closer to the truth if anything, only voting stations are fixed to the Governor's liking and the dead-vote gets greater each year!

OF COURSE CNN WOULD SAY THAT THIS WILL HELP OBAMA! OPRAH AND THE DRUNK KENNEDY'S DIDN'T HELP HIM DID THEY? SOME ONE NEEDS TO BRING HIS REZKO CONNECTIONS TO LIGHT!!!!!!!!!! SO PEOPLE STOP FALLING FOR THIS FARCE OF HIS!!!!!!!!!! EVEN WITH ALL HIS HELP, MOSTLY FROM WOMEN! HE COULD NOT WIN!!!!!!! HILLARY WILL PREVAIL THE REST OF THE CALIFORNIA VOTES ARE HERS! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doug writes: "Big surprise, the Mexicans overwhelmingly voted for McCain."
>>> News flash from a white woman, Doug – IF THEY VOTED YESTERDAY, THEY'RE AMERICAN, you fascist pig. We were all immigrants once.

"This is an historic election", meaning, a referendum on the Republican's ill-conceived, immoral war and the incredible human and financial waste it has been. This is the Dem's election to lose.

Darth Vadik, CA, WRITES: "…does McCain have problems with his shoulders, I have never seen him raise his arm past his chest height."
>>> Perhaps he was injured in a war, defending his country? Hummm?

THE MEDIA NEED TO END THEIR OBAMA OBSESSION NOW .
IT IS DISGUSTING!

OK people at CNN, I get it! You want OBAMA! Whatever! You are slowly become the Most UNTRUSTED news! I stopped watching and just read the internet! I come to CNN because I LOVE Lou Dobbs! and Wolf!

HILLARY CLINTON 2008,2012!!

Clinton was the clear winner last night.Surge was limited to the media's continuing and disabling pre-occupation with Obama.Heavens would have fallen if California was won by Obama but since Clinton has won we hearing hows and why it happened!!I am wondering when will they wake up and question his experience,record and qualifications to be a president not a popularity contest winner!!

McCain is not just bad for the Republicans, he is very very bad for country, for regular people. Washington doesn't want an outsider, I mean Mitt Romney. Corrupted politicians endorsed one of them, even they hate him (McCain).

All I can say is that I lost respect for McCain and Huckabee. McCain is a nasty old man and Huckabee is closed minded crook.

I would vote for Obama if McCain is nominated. As least Obama is a decent human being.

Darth...

McCain cannot raise his arms above his chest. I believe it is the result of torture in Vietnam, but I could be wrong.

I don't know why anyone even believes what any candidate says. What a farce! They are all making promises they haven't a snowball's chance in making good. They all lie, they all tout themselves as the next great leader, and they all put down the others.

Give it up and do what most people do. Vote for the one you think will give you something for nothing or get you out of the mess you got yourselves into. Pick the one who you think will come pay your bills or bail you out of your mortgage crisis. Cast your ballot for a "sugar daddy" that's gonna take care of you so you don't have to.

Well for all you young people, your hat should go off to John McCain. There isnt that many Americans that have came back from being a POW in any war. The man spent time in a cell, encouraged other POW's to fight on when they were ready to give up and die. He stood fast to his belief's and had the courage to look at each day as a stepping stone to the his future. Now the man is living the American dream and running for president. Now I may seem shallow, uneducated to some, but let's get down to basic's here. Do you want a leader or a want to be president.
Clinton just wants the title, cant make a decision on anything, tells you what you want to hear, and does the opposite. And really justs want a chance to get back at Bill for all his fun in the White House.
Obama, is just as bad, only he has Oparh behind him.
LET"S GET AMERICIA BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK!

John McCain,

Please don't pick Joe Lieberman as a running mate.

I'm 37 and ever since my teenage years, I don't recall having a president that's not either a Clinton or Bush. The presidency here is becoming like other thirld world and autocratic countries, all run by familly dinasties. when people think of Clinton they think of good economic times. Well my friends, the truth is that thanks to the internet discovery of the 90's, good economic times were upon us, but once that bubble burst, during clinton's last year, that implied recession that bush inherited thanks to bill. Also Clinton is the one who started the wonderfull free trade policies that shipped our jobs overseas and created the wonderfull economic conditions in India and China and sent our gas prices soaring.
Bush then tried to create another bubble, the housing bubble, but unfortunately it wasn't able to hold up till he gets out of office.
Buttom line is we need a SMART and INTELLECTUAL person in the white house to clean the Bush's and Clinton's mess. Remember the nice hugs and kisses of the Bush's and Clinton's during Bush's first year in office?
WE NEED A PEOPLE's PRESIDENT!
JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

I’m disappointed in voters and the Republican Party. It’s sad to see this strong of a shift moving away from conservative American values and to see just how far left the entire nation leans. I don’t know who ill vote for now.

Who cares who you will vote for.
If you are true Republicans you should vote for McCain in November, how simple is that??

Here's the general view from outside of the US:

McCain is old, speaks like his reading from a fairytale book, says "my friends" way too much.

Clinton is unlikable, insincere, fierce and trying to force people into buying health care (yeah like that's going to happen with the state America's economy is in right now).

Obama is likable, sincere, kind and actually seems to be willing and capable to change the country and take on the challenges that America has right now. People saying he's not experienced enough should think about all the people around him once he becomes president. It's not like he's going to run the country by himself or anything.

I'm not even going to talk about Romney, Huckabee and Paul, because their race for the nomination was over a long time ago.

CNN ... where is my post from awhile ago???

@ Liola – "Hey, if Romney is basically out of the race, doesn't that free up some time for his sons? Instead of "serving America" by campaigning for Dad, they can now serve in Iraq."

No, they will continue working in their jobs to pay higher taxes for all you free-loader liberal's socialized healthcare, open border amnesty plans, phony global warming programs, etc., etc., etc.

I use to think that CNN was unbiased but I think CNN is now officially disgusting and their coverage is biased. I refuse to be swayed by their mindless propaganda. However, I must thank them because they have helped me make up my mind. I was undecided but I am now going to vote for Hillary because I think it is too suspicious how CNN is overplaying Obama and never gives Hillary a fair break even when she genuinely deserves it. All I have to say to CNN is SHAME ON YOU!!!
GO HILLARY!!!!! You shall overcome and be the next president of America!

OK...something all of you must know. MCCAIN was a prisoner of war and I know it doesn't give him any kind of special rights but he was definitely against the Vietnam War and even attacked former Sec. of Defense McNamara. He knows how to handle Iraq and knows the meaning of a soldier's life. The Maverick factor just adds to a better handling of foreign policy b/c ultra conservatives with war on their mind won't effect his decisions.

Obama won the red states because the independents voted for him. But come general election time, they will vote Republican. Count on it.

mccain's task at this time is to extend the olive branch to the different parts of the rep party. he needs to do this without appearing to concede his positions, therefore potentially be percieved as pandering to the conservative wing.

clinton and obama have a more difficutl task; they need to deliver a clear victory. clinton suffers from a lack of something that obama seems to have in abundance; the ability to draw in new voters. clinton needs to convince those still undecided that she is the better choice. obama needs to convice all the democratic voters that he is a real choice.

Llola hes not Pres. Bush get a hold of yourself.

total voter count – provided as of 12:20pm
(not 100% yet)

Obama – 8,270,516
Clinton – 7,617,142
McCain – 4,808,562

Dem tally does not include Fl or Mich

I've concluded that people are insane.
Insane for swallowing 8 years of lies, corruption, immorality, theft and overall abuse of power.....
recession, bancruptcy, international reputation worth sh**.
AFTER ALL THAT – SOME OF YOU PEOPLE PUT YOUR FAITH IN AN OLD, FLIP-FLOPPING, CONFUSED, UNHINGED, WAR MONGING CRAZYMAN JOHN MCCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GEEZUS, MARY AND JOSEPH PLEASE RESCUE US FROM THIS INSANITY.
You know, this country belongs to a heck of alot of people who DO NOT subscribe to the Republican mindset?
IT IS TIME FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO CLEAN UP THIS MONUMENTAL MESS!
The only way out of this quagmire is to get your butts out of your house, away from your computer and TV and into the voting booths.
Elect Clinton or Obama for crying out loud.
If I have to go through 4 more years of this budget busting occupation invasion....
with that crazy, wild eyed Kook, I will positively not be responsible for my actions.

My prediction. Republicans have the time now to unite for November. Democrats are terribly fractured. If Hillary wins, blacks will sit home in November. If BO wins, white voters will support Michael Bloomberg is he runs as an independent. If not, white voters will support John McCain, Vietnam hero, who is a moderate with views white voters will support. I am a democrat and this is how I will vote in November. While I have spoken here of blacks and whites, I believe Asian Americans will support Bloomberg or McCain. Latinos, I fear, will feel disenfranchised by a Hillary loss and disinterested in the November election.

When all is said and done, Hillary polarizes and divides the nation while Obama inspires and bring out the best in us. What good is the experience, if she won't be able to unite the country by creating a majority in the Congress to push the democratic agenda? We can't afford filibustering of important legislations by republicans who have it out for the Clinton brand name.

What really irks me is the Bush – Clinton dynasty battle. This is a democracy not an an aristocracy or an oligarchy. Nothing against Hillary, but the fact that she has a Clinton last name is a turn me and many democrats off and surely it turns off other half of the country . That's not a good place to start.

Obama will come through because he's got a moment, and the republicans don't have an answer for him.

It looks like the disenfranchised moderates have finally got a champion in John McCain.

He is honest.
He is Patriotic.
He has served his county and is a genuine hero.
He has values that are tolerant of others.
He works with others of different views.
He believes in the Win/Win and not the Win/Lose.
He is consistent in his views and does not change his views just to please people and get votes.
He stands up for others and is not afraid to speak up for what he thinks is right.
He is reasonable.
He does not jump to conclusions; he must have adequate facts before acting and will not get pushed into something.
He is humble.
He is not perfect, and does not try to portray himself as such.
He is dedicated to the USA.
He places America first and foremost and does not forget that in words or actions.
He is loyal to the American people to whom he answers.

REAL conservative republicans crossing over to vote Hillary... Hillary or Johnny Mc.. no real difference here.. Converatives in the local, state and both houses of congress. Hillary in the General.
We can't stand Johnny mc and will not vote for him... Keeping the dems from getting a super majority in congress in paramount. Stop pacnicing over the supreme court.

I would have voted Republican but I wont vote for McCain. It looks like I'm voting for Obama this year. Sorry Romney. We hope to see you again in 2012

Check out this online news flash from the 'Albuquerque Journal' dated 02-06-08; and then consider if this reminds you of the infamous 2000 election day results from Florida. Hmmm…counting must continue until the candidate preferrred by the Lt. Governor of New Mexico has secured her victory?

"Clinton holds narrow lead over Obama with thousands of votes to be counted.
8:15am UPDATE: As many as half of the nearly 17,000 provisional ballots to be hand-counted today could be thrown out, New Mexico Lt. Gov. Diane Denish — a strong backer of Hillary Clinton — told 770 KKOB Radio's morning show host Bob Clark just moments ago."

P.S.

The only RESPONSIBLE candidate..who will affect the REAL changes in policy and public funding necessary to make change that may be unpopular to major business interests and industries in America–is President Obama.

He is unafraid–and unafililiated...he can create the right envrionment to make changes in Washington. The people will be behind him–the politicians will follow–we just have to have hope–and insert action.

B.H. Obama 2008!!

To Geri

All of these candidates have their own websites...check out their agenda's and evaluate for yourself.

Regarding regulation...this is a given...the GOP has spent the past 7 years ignoring laws on the books and easing or eliminating industry regulation. The free-wheeling economic theories of GW Bush have literally created a health crisis for Americans with regards to: foods, drugs, childrens toys and clothing, food equipment, nutritional supplements, pet food, cleaning products–just to name a few.

This is why we don't have ANY FDA inspectors in China...and why the food, pharmacuetical, banking, energy...inspectors representing us have been dramatically reduced due to underfunding.

We need to have regulation–for our safety as well as our welfare and the environment–and to ensure the "desire of the people".
We need a President who will decide on the side of the people–even if it doesn't make a profit.

Man what a nightmare for America if it is McCain/Clinton in November. Think about it.

This election clearly exposes voters illitracy and riotous emotion that blind reality.Gender, race, charisma, smooth talk, eloquency, likability conservatism are canker warms that degrade the fabric of our political process and becloud our view of awful reality; what a shame. Our nation political destiny any hope?My name is Sam and I approve this message

I'm a woman, but I'm not voting for Hillary. She isn't as grand and upstanding as some of your dreams make her out to be. Lets not forget she was smack in the middle of whitewatergate, filegate, travelgate and Vince Foster. Cover up after cover up. Her husband used his executive priviledge to keep American's from seeing files involving the two of them. It's sad to hear women say they'll vote for a woman just because she's a woman. Stop looking at gender or race. Start looking at character. You can tell their character by their deeds. I can't overlook what kind of character she and her husband had while they held the White House and the American's hostage last time.

Why can't you Romney fans just get over yourselves! Most (meaning a majority)people don't like Romney. Maybe it has something to do with the way he and his followers talk down to people? Maybe it has something to do with his dishonesty? I know he claims to be Pro-Life, however, that is not an issue people change their mind on very easily. Could it be that he was Pro-Choice when he was trying to represent and very liberal state but now that he needs the conservative vote he conveniently changes his mind? Romney will say whatever he needs to say in order to be elected. Meanwhile, maybe the rest of you could realize that this is how the political process works in America. We go to the polls, we vote for people we want to represent us, and we live with the results. That's what separates us from nations who are constantly involved in civil wars. They cannot live with the results and they kill each other to get what they want, not the majority. Get over it!

McCain = 100 years in Iraq = War is the solution = More soldiers=Draft = I cannot in good conscience vote for him. And I used to list him as my second choice. The more I listen to him, watch him, the more I realize that he feigning a Republican party affiliation and that is not enough reason to get behind him. I hope Romney drops out. He's been through enough.

The liberal mainstream media propped up the two worst candidates. They fought against the best one. As a whole, our party is a bunch of suckers, we deserve to watch a Democratic victory this year.

CNN is RIGHT this time – the evenly split Democratic result DOES help Obama – and it helps Hillary too!

- It helps them both because they will both be on the same ticket together in November (trust me), and the split result keeps both of their campaigns fully energized.

I am traditionally a Democrat - born in a Black family who grew up in the Washington DC suburbs but well educated and now living in the suburbs of Chicago. Now that my income has risen, I have been courted by others in my office to become a Republican, not for socio-political reasons but to protect my wallet from being pilfered by programs the government cannot afford. I have yet to jump on the Clinton or Obama wagon but as I reviewed the above blogs and listened to the pundits discussing the Super Tuesday results I have become more distanced from my Democratic roots. I agree that the nomination is still in play and that Hillary will likely prevail because of promises to and by the superdelegates. Yet, I cannot say that the people have spoken. In the large states, Hillary won by around 10 points or less even though she has been on the national political scene for more than 10 years. In some of the smaller states Obama won by more than 25 points. There is a split whether the split is along racial, social, gender or geographical lines. People are still deciding where to rest their hats. Moreover, add up the numbers for all the people who voted for each candidate (not by state but in the totality) and then let us talk some more.

I have never voted Democrat in a general election, but I guess there's a first for everything. It looks like I will vote Democrat in November. It is said that McCain is going to try to unite the party. IT WON'T WORK! I'm gone. I look at integrity first and foremost, and neither McCain nor Huckabee have it. Hillary doesn't either. At least with Obama, I have caught him lying. If I have to choose between a liberal or a liar, I'm going to pick the liberal (although I don't agree with many, if any, of his positions). Sad day, but I will NEVER vote for McCain or Huckabee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, if Romney is basically out of the race, doesn't that free up some time for his sons? Instead of "serving America" by campaigning for Dad, they can now serve in Iraq.

Look at the actual voter counts… Obama is going to take this Election all the way to the White House… The comparison between the parties is amazing, and Obama has far more #'s than anyone… I'm keeping a chart, which I will post when the results (from 100% of all the states who have voted) are in… These numbers are staggering…
We have begun the change we need…
OBAMA…. is our best option and the voters are telling it…!!

McCain scares me. We will be in big trouble if he wins. I don't trust him. He is just sputs out lots of hot air. All we hear from him is war, war war.

McCain is one exciting candidate, geez, a dead Reagan would have more charm than this guy. And what is up with that creepy voice "my friends", freaks me out more than Alberto Gonzales.

And one more thing...seriuosly...

...does McCain have problems with his shoulders, I have never seen him raise his arm past his chest height.

McCain scares me to death. He likes war so much and doesn't care how many of our men and women die over there. People are so blind not to see him as he really is. I will not vote if he is all I have to vote for and I hope others will follow.

I have always believed in the conservative ideals of the Republican party. With someone like McCain winning the nomination, I have to seriously question if the party is still the party of Reagan. There appears to be a changing shift in a major part of the party to the left. I do not feel I can support a McCain presidential run. Speaking to fellow long term conservatives, I can tell you that almost all of us feel the same way. If McCain wins it is a sad day for the Republican party and for the United States of America. Democrates will take the White House because the real conservatives will stay home.

Come on folks stop crying and saying that CNN is unfair to Senator Clinton? CNN is doing nothing but reporting the facts about Senator Obama and what he has accomplished so far. Their entire staff has done an outstanding job as it pertains to reporting the facts. You all remember this don't you? The facts, or have you forgotten this is what every American wants to hear so he/she can make their own decision on who is the best candidate to be our next President.

Instead of judging an individual by his/her last name and/or experience as many of you have stated, why not judge that individual by his ideas/vision. This country does not need another Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush..."Clinton" presidency, this country needs someone who can reform all of the problems on Capitol Hill with new ideas and a clear vision...enough is enough with the crying!!

no bling bling for Romney.

Hillary's attitude toward Obama was frigidly hostile and divisive during the early debates. Hillary declared that she would not meet with the leaders of hostile nations. Since then she has told her supporters "what i meant was...." That won't wash. America needs an intelligent diplomat like Obama in the White House, not a self-important, arrogant Hillary.

I used to be an admirer Hillary , but I don't want another attack dog in the white House.

CNN has been fair so far concerning ite braodcast on Obama / Hillary all u complaing short up. Obama is a charismatic leader and Hillary is not . Obama inspire Hillary do not

The split is to Obama's advantage, the recent polls suggestions that Obama is erasing Hillary's lead nationally and in many states.

Super Tuesday should have been Hillary's night to establish herself as the clear front runner, but she fail to do that. What helped her in the super Tuesday states was early and absentee ballots; those ballots were cast when Hillary had the clear lead Nationally and they went to Hillary 3-1; going forward it will be really difficult for her to take a stake; Obama have more spread, he won more states; the experience argument is not sticking and that is Hillary's strong argument and people are not buying it.

Obama have advantage in Money, he raised $32M just in January alone; also the Billary attempt to paint him as the black candidate is not working either.

This is good for the people, Obama took the fight to the strongest dynasty in America and he is fighting the Clinton brand name very well; It is shame to the Clintons that Obama the person they regard as a no body is causing them sleepless nights...

I wonder who will run with McCain on the Rep ticket? Discount Romney and Huckabee-they are only popular in specific populations/geographical areas–not enough general appeal. I'd like to hear some comments from the analysts as well as from readers.

im a democrat but im glad mccain is up on da gelegates..

Oddly enough, I think if McCain wins the nomination he may win the presidency. He is just as much a moderate as Clinton and Obama. And he can tout his experience of putting forward bi-partisan bills.

I knew a long time ago that CNN was not the best political team on TV. It is a Democrat loving, left-leaning, highly biased network. These traits led to Fox's success with a fair & balanced positioning. However, I can't believe people are saying CNN is pro-Obama. Everything I've seen from Wolf "I love Hillary, so I'll go soft on her & let her have a majority of the speaking time in the debates" Blitzer to not challenging Begala, when he spouts half-truths & outright lies to support Billary, says that CNN is the Clinton-Loving Network. If they were pro-Obama or even fair, there would be more coverage of the fact that Obama is leading Clinton in delegates decided by "the people" not the party aristocracy. It will be a sad day for America, but a good day for Republicans like me, if Hillary wins, especially if she wins through super-delegates. If there were any Obama slant, I'm sure it is to prevent a McCain presidency, because he would soundly defeat Hillary in a general election.

"while a split decision in the Democratic race may eventually help Sen. Barack Obama, according to CNN's political analysts."

And pigs MAY someday fly. These guys on CNN wil do anything to try and influence the election.

Report what IS CNN, dont report on what MAY be. Thats not news, it's speculation.

When will CNN allow us to see the results of Super Tuesday only?? No super delegates, no prior states. Let us see a clear result of Super Tuesday ONLY!!

I am so tired of this slippery super delegate slope CNN continues to feed us.

Ron Paul '08

Start questioning Obama CNN instead of giving hiom a free ride.

You are a complete affront to democracy.

CNN fairness? No way, Jose! If Hillary got 500 delegates over Obama CNN would read 50 and would say . SPLIT DECISION. Shame on CNN biased everyday news.
They don't seem to care. And they don't care about the public opinion !!!!!!!!

Pardon me, Mrs. Clinton, if I may please borrow your recent Super Bowl analogy? Only in real life YOU, Mrs. Clinton, are the New England Patriots. YOU were tagged early and often as the prohibitive favorite. Now, Mr. Obama, he represents the New York Giants. No one gave him much of a chance several months ago; however, suddenly we're going into the second half of the campaign...and Obama's still standing strong and proud. And we ALL know how the Super Bowl...and this analogy...will end, don't we Senator Clinton? Peace to you all, from the Land of Obama!

Thank you Randy-Denver

I'm loving the Republicans who say that they will vote for a Democrat if McCain gets nominated for the Republican party.

It kind of reminds me of a spoiled little kid that would rather break his toy instead of sharing it with another child.

All I got to say is: Come on over Republicans. Remember, our party is the party of inclusion and we'll take anybody... even Ann Coulter and former Republicans.

CNN= All Obama, All the time. What a joke you have become.

Of course Hillary's supporters are upset. No matter what she say's, What State she wins or if she has an emotional moment, CNN and the Media turn it on her. They act like Obama is untouchable.

I thought I lived in a time when a women had a chance to run for President. I was so proud for my daughter's to see this. But I guess the male dominated Politicians and Media just don't want that to happen. They will say or do whatever to keep that from happening. What a shame. I thought we were past this.

The Clinton's' are not going to let the Media, win this election for Obama. During the last week Obama, have received all type of endorsements. Also, he received support from Maria Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Carloine Kennedy, Ted Kennedy/son, John Kerry, and Stevie Wonder, which scored a lost in CA. Ted & John could not win their home State, which is sad. I wish all Media would operate the same as FOX. MSNBC, Morning Joe, and Chris, give a dog more credit then they do the Clinton's.

hillary fans, stop whining!!

last night was more C linton N ational N etwork than anything else....CNN is ok, they are trying to do their jobs. sometimes it sounds like tey are biased towards Obama, sometimes as if they were biased towrds Clinton. Stop whining!!!

This Republican will vote Democratic for the first time if McCain is the nominee...

There we go agian CNN you should say this is CNN Opinion. CNN you are Biased said it that you endorse Obama – Give Hillary more coverage

Geri
Each campaign has a website, do a google search under their name and it will give you their sites. Once there they all have where they stand on the issues and specific plans (yes folks even Obama does if you would care to read them instead of saying he should tell you in small words easily understood without thought).

Has anyone looked at an electoral map? In fact, go look at the 2004 electoral map results, and see just how unimportant it is for Obama to win RED states that will stay red, and carry minimal numbers of electoral votes. Clinton has won all the states that carry huge numbers of electoral votes, and THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT!! Winning in CA, NJ and NY carries more weight than half the midwest or more!!

The ONLY way Obama could CLAIM any win, was if he was within 5% in CA, and he is TWICE that.

Stop tripping, CNN. All of my positive comments for Senator Clinton are disregarded.

The 2 best people you have are Anderson & Lou Dobbs-

Ha Ha John from-MO keep believing that old man McCain is the best for the job. He wont have a shot against the dems, which is sad.

There is one clear result of last night's happenings:

There are a lot of dumb "republicans" out there.

Hope UNITED STATE IS GOING TO CHOICE A BETTER PRESIDENT THIS TIME !!!LOL

Senator Clinton may have won the big states, but what the remaining states need to do is listen to Senator Obama, know that he is honest and will be honest and know that he has the support of more voters. Hillary has more delegates because she won the more populous districts, but more people have voted for Barack because they know the TRUTH!....

WHEN YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE AND LISTEN, YOU'LL KNOW IN YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEART THAT HE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.

VOTE OBAMA

and the CNN pundits keep riding the Obama train. Even when the voters speak, even when they refuse to listen to the bias, you keep spinning!

What is this? There is no "split decision" Senator Clinton WON the big states and that is that.

Voters did speak, the polls showed that several weeks ago Ms. Clinton would win California by over 30% she did not, the fact is her tide is turning, the only question is will it turn in time to prevent her from winning the nomination.

The split decision is based on the fact that we do not all live in the "big states" if this were a presidential race she would have lost, (based on electors) as it is LOOK at the numbers, more voted for him than the top two republicans!, you cannot say that about her. Ms. Clinton, though a good policy wonk will divide this country even further along political lines and just because you believe "your" side in those lines will win does not mean we should continue this divide, we need to heal America and Mr. Obama has the better chance of doing that.

As for why the pundits seem to cover him more it is simple his message is more uplifting and less divisive than hers and that is what the people want. me personally I do not think they have given him more coverage and if they were truley against her as is so often claimed then why do we not hear about all HER shady dealings in the past, we KNOW they are there we heard about them during her husbands time in office, and yet now the press is strangely silent but will tout Mr. Rexco at the drop of a hat, no overall, based on their histories I would say the press is leaning towards Ms. Clinton.

I agree that a split decision helps Obama.

Considering the coming contests: Louisiana, Nebraska (caucause), Washington (caucause), DC, Maryland, Virginia, Maine (caucause), and Wisconsin, I just do not see how Hillary can keep any momentum that she earned yesterday. Obama seems to win the caucause states and I believe he has an advantage in Louisiana, DC, Maryland and Virginia.

Hillary has to survive the next 2 weeks and wait for big Texas and Ohio wins. I think the key for her will be surviving the next 7 contests and the related momentum swing, I'm not sure she will.

Hillary will prevail because she inspires people throughout her trials and tribulations.

She is still standing no matter how much CNN so-called pundits and analysts spin and twist things against her.

American people have spoken.

GO HILLARY, we see and hear you no matter what CNN says.

This is your time

HEY, CNN. POST MY COMMENTS!!!!!

I'M VERY SORRY THAT I AM NOT FOR YOUR MAN, BARRY, BUT LET'S GET REAL, HERE..YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT THE NEW IN AN UNBIASED, CLEAR MANNER; YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ENDORSE OBAMA AND REPORT IN A LOPSIDED, BIASED MANNER!!!!!

HILLARY WON DESPITE THE SUPPORT OF THE "DRONES FOR THE PREACHER"!!

HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED THAT THE MAJORITY OF COMMENTS ON ALL OF THESE POSTS ARE SAYING THE SAME THING I AM?!

.....FROM AN INTELLIGENT (MINORITY, MALE)REGISTERED DEMOCRATIC VOTER IN OHIO.....

Much has been made of this dissatisfaction with McCain and his supposed liberal record – namely the unabashed railing of Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, et.al. Has anyone considered that they may have a large voice but only one vote. I do not dismiss their influence on others, but they may have more interest in a Democrat being in the White House if for no other reason than to increase their audience.

I, as a Republican, would rather have a Republican in the White House than any Democrat. I just cannot understand how people can believe Mitt Romney is a "life-long conservative" and not look at how his posistions have changed on major issues (right to life, gay rights, taxes, 2nd amendment). Look very closely at when Mitt Romney, at 60 years old, changed his mind about these issues.

I am happy that MO was a close race between John McCain and Mike Huckabee – both true conservatives that have not waivered social conservative values and are both supportive of our fiscal conservative values.

Will David Gergen ever say anything positive about Hillary Clinton. Clearly he is pulling for Obama and his commentary, sad as it is, reveals that something must have happenned during his first stint with the Clintons that has made him ambivalent towards them.

Please take him off the air. He simply is too biased. Even republican commentators give Hillary a better shot than Gergen.

And by the way, I'm rooting for Obama.

Looks like CNN is really the machine helping Obama... give me a break!
Go Hillary!

What's happening to cnn? I have been reading the blogs and watching Cnn .This Morning i couldn't keep silent.… It's sad.. you all used to be fair..Now it seems to be all Obama news…everything that happends during this election , you find a way to turn it into his advantage..somehow..
I used to tell my students that Cnn was fair….Might as well turn to foxnews ,actually i watched them too last night, and to my big surprise they were more balanced in their opinions then you.
As a Canuck, I don't vote in your election, i have no favorite candidate, BUT, at least give credit to Hillary Clinton, when she deserve it… It's really getting pathetic to watch . In my opinion, the only 1 that is still fair, is Anderson…Bravo to you.. You havent felt for the O propaganda on Cnn.
>>> A little humble opinion, may be the States should review the way the election system works, seems to be so long, almost 2 years to elect a president… too many players have time to influence your vote with endorsment and $$$$$, I hope you all dont think Oprah didnt put a LOT of $$$ to help her boy?????

As an outsider , i wish you all the wisdom to make the right choice for your country.

First as most THINKING people will realize Mr. mcCain did not vote for Amnesty like his opponents want you to believe. he voted for a realistic plan to minimize the illegal immigration concerns people have. I would ask all those of you who believe "they should all be deported" to give the details on how you want that done, who is going to do it? Where are the funds going to come from? Who is going to step up and do the work they are doing now in the US? How will the economy (already devestated by Bush's policies) support the direct cost of removing these people and the indirect cost of the loss of businesses and services this loss would entail? But I suppose the world most of the rdical right live in does not see these problems.. maybe another tax cut for the wealthy will help solve them? Or building a wall, like the Berlin wall yeah thats the ticket.. but who will build it? I got it CHAIN GANGS like in the good old days!

Second the comment about no REAL conservative left. Can you explain what you mean by that? Do you mean a fiscal conservative? One who would support cutting the budget in realistic ways? You cannot mean that since over 60% of the actuaql spending is going to support the ill-planned, ill-executed, illeagal war in Iraq (oh yeah and some of it is going to Afganistan where it should be.. but not enough after all the major product of Afganistan since outr invasion is Opium) nope cannot do that it is YOUR war and you support it How about a religious conservative one that supports the original concern about religion in the US, "I do not care if a man worships one god, many gods or no gods at all" Thomas Jefferson, There shall be no religious test for any public office, each religion is equal here. Ben Franklin.

In short most of the radical right do not want what they say they simply want the power to force others to live their way. Change is somehow wrong unless it is to change back to a fantasy world that never existed and never will.

May the best win! Hillary is very competent and experienced. Probably better than Obama at those chapters. However, it is Obama who can can heal: bridge the split inside and restore the symbol of the United States in the world. In the global village we need that sympathy and trust much more then before. Clinton will continue to divide.

Another spin, another politcial lies, another manipulation on the truth of that Hillary victory. CNN, Shame on you,

Back door deals and an unending parade of endorsing cronies seems to have the Republican nomination going as scripted, but GOP electioneerers beware: millions of us on the true conservative end will not vote for McCain. Come November, you may well find yourself fielding one of the biggest election-day losers since the demise of Nixon.

Hillary is dis-ingenuine and a flip-flopper whenever the polls change, Obama was rated the #1 most liberal senator, McCain is a Democrat in Republican clothing and Romney has a liberal record in the past.

My guess is that if you did a blind poll, no names no nothing, on issues and how they matched the people that are running, a minority of people would come up with a clear favorite. My point is I think a candidate who truly represents the people of our country a.k.a. a normal average citizen with mixed views on all topics will never be in charge. And I think that truly is a shame.

Thank you Ray in New Jersey. This whole thing has played out like a joke and a set up.

Republicans, you really concern me. You want to elect a man with a long known history of a bad temper? A bad temper ruins countries, rules with imposing fear, and despair in others. Look around the world today.

All I can say is WOW we are in serious trouble, JOHN MCCAINT isnt the answer, unbelievable that republicans vote for a democrat, just look at some pictures of this guy, he's evil, REPUBLICANS WAKE UP HE IS A LIBERAL IN CONSERVATIVE CLOTHING, maybe we will get lucky and he'll have a coronary before he takes office, so who is the vice president? HUCKAPHONY?

WRITE IN ROMNEY08!!!!!!! IT'S THE ONLY REAL CHOICE WE HAVE.

How could anyone call this a slpit when Obama won in 13 states and billary won in only 8? Mind you, never before in the history of america did any candidate had to contend with a 2 in 1 opposition(s), (Clintons), as Obama has, and he must be credited with his efforts by a worthy nomination. No candidate in the history of american politics has ever aroused so much cross the board appeal, interest and participation in politics like Obama has: whatever happens, Obama is the Grand Winner in this elections. Also, if only the press will give as much coverage to Michelle Obama as it gives to Bill and their daughter, it would be more heart-warming.
Obama is a gentleman, he ably demonstrated this by holding out Hillary's chair for her to get up right after their last debate...is he a president or what?

Where does McClain, Hillary, Huckabee, and Obama stand on issues, it there some place where I can find that information or someone can tell me.

The world is watching.....
We don't want anyone like Bush anymore
and so
we don't want MacCain
and definately no lady who needed her husband do the talking for her during the campaign.
USA want to gain respect in the world again? Then they choose Obama!

Whatever...
As a military vet: Vietnam, Bierut, Panama, Kosovo...I admire McCain's record and his patriotism.

I'm voting for Obama.

Why?

1-Return to necessary regulation in the private sector–and enforcement of our laws related to trade.
2-Reduction in waste in our government–with emphasis on redundant security and military investment.
3-Improved world presence–and renewal of institutions like NATO, United Nations–and other organizations which the U.S. has led as a world leader–and the GOP has tried to extricate the U.S. from any responsibility or support.
4-Maintenance of a standing armed forces–which meets the mission needs of the current time (not 100 years in the future!!!). If we have technology which exceeds all the competition by 15 years, why plan for 50 years or more in the future? The military industrial businesses that are permanently attached to the government teat–far exceeds the actual security needs or the technology requirements of our armed forces.
5-REAL emphasis and some REAL ideas on ensuring all Americans have healthcare.
6-Breaking down the walls which seperates our Congress–and forcing members to work together towards a better America. No acceptance of unilaterism–period.

I agree with you Luis. We are going to end up voting for two Democrats in November Billary/Obama or McCain.

God help us and this economy it's never going to get better!

Ray in N.J. How true!

Oh please knock off the complaining about Obama and Hillary. Personally, I HOPE McCain loses. His age and his war injuries don't help him. He says he is in good shape but the truth is that if he became president the stress would probably be too much for him to handle.

Also, take a look at the other Republicans who are running for the Presidency... The youngest one on their side is who... Mitt Romney. Okay, that isn't a good sign. Face the truth... the Republicans have had their time and the blew it. The seven years of Bush have been Hell and I ams sorry if you guys disagree but it is true. This war and economy are in shambles. Soldiers are dying left and right either from suicide or getting blown up/shot in Iraq. Enough is enough! I think we have had enough of the Republicans for the time being. Feel free to disagree with me but in the end I know that we will be better off with Obama or Hillary and I say Hillary to be nice. Obama so far seems to be one of the few people running other then Ron Paul that is making any sense. Hillary is okay but I think we need younger people who have fresh ideas and are willing to do things differently.

Obama won many more states, and at the very least will be neck and neck on delegates.

There is simply no logical way a candidate who once touted herself as the inevitable nominee can claim any kind of victory based on those facts.

Additionally, most analysts agree that the longer this thing goes on the better for Obama so there is no way Team Clinton can feel anything other than fear as they watch the movement continue to grow.

Hillary is even more divisive than before... You people wait and see those super delegates switch camp when OBAMA will have solidified his lead in the pledged delegates.

OBAMA/Gore 2008

CNN Moderation, here I come

Wow America is really that stupid. McCain is one of the worst canidates I have ever seen. The Dems are going to blow us out of the water. Im going to move to Mexico after Hillary becomes the President.

I'm an asian dutch who always have an overwhelming fascination and interest how politics in America.

What really caught my attention is on the DEMOCRATS. The endorsers !!! of Obama. Yes Obama is popular, he can sell himself good, a typical job applicant -fresh from university who can make everybody to be impressed for him. As you listen and observed him, YES A FRESH POLITICIANS WHO DON'T HAVE Taught PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. He has no idea who/what America sets now . The whole world is watching you.

For the endorsers, can you even think- analyse even a few seconds before endorsing. America must work hard "without trial and error" and as quick as possible to regain the country's status in the whole world -to get back the good images– you have a lot of damages at the moment- own fault for positioning the present president in the WHITE HOUSE. PROTECT AMERICA from Chaves lookalike accuser.

Endorse somebody with self-built credibility to gain back the respect of the world. ELECT- ENDORSE THE CANDIDATE WITH CREDIBILITY IN WORK, DEEDS AND WITH GOOD RECORDS FOR "YEARS" OF THE DEMANDED EXPERIENCES for this JOB-THE PRESIDENT.

I hope too that every American should think what ahead for this job.

Actually, the split will help Obama. Obama has more available funds. The states holding primaries in the next two weeks favor Obama. He should make a strong showing and pick up more momentum heading into the March primaries where the states are more contested.

McCain has lost all the respect I had for him prior to the last 2 months. I will vote Dem if he remains the Rep oldest candidate in HISTORY~! McCain and Huckabee's derailing approach to a sensible intelligent and able man such as Romney shows that those two men don't have 1 bone of integrity in them. They are cheap cheaters and Huckabee is NO true Christian while McCain is NO true Republican.
Wake up Republicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

zzzzzz…..huh. Who cares who wins the republican nomination. Their not going to win the general election.

Texas voter, Yeh HAW!!!!

Perhaps if Mitt hadn't been so selfish and HE dropped out, then Huckabee would be in the lead. The fact that Huck and McCain have been civil to each other while Romney's been an arrogant whining jerk doesn't mean that Huck was the spoiler.

There is no way that Romney would've carried the South in a general election.

As far as tactics go, Romney suggesting that a candidate close on his heels should drop out just a few days before Super Tuesday was childish and very bad form.

Texas voter, Yeh HAW!!!!

We've been putting up with a LONG seven years..............!!!!!

Agree Luis entirely – this makes me shudder as I look at 2009. Right now I have zero sympathy for Huckabee, ruining Romney's leads as he did. If it wasn't for the votes taken by Huckabee, Romney would have swept McCain off of the primaries. As it is, if McCain wins the nomination, it will be because of the pointless continuance of Huckabee's campaign, the biased reporting of many news services in favor of McCain, and the thinly disguised liberalism of McCain causing many Democrats who know their political record to vote for him, whilst many Republicans who do not don't know the difference between the candidates. McCain is NOT a Republican. WAKE UP Republicans, McCain has not and never will function as a true conservative and frankly I have no clue why so many think he would! Where has the strong stand for right and truth gone from the Republican Party?

The delegate process is just as messed up as the electoral college. Huckabee had a "better" night than Romney, but he is still way behind in third place? So a candidate could just focus on the winner take all states and come out ahead. Or why does American Samoa carry more weight than MI? What a joke!!! And why does MSN have a completely different delegate total than CNN? We need to switch to a popular vote!! If this was the case, Bush wouldn't have been able to ruin America.

RAy from NJ..it is funny how hillary supporters, someone like you always find something to blame for her failure...sore loser..haha

HILLARY WILL MISS HER DELEGATES FROM MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA WHEN THE FINAL COUNT IS MADE. I WONDER IF THIS COULD BE THE STRAW THAT LOST HER CHANCE TO WIN?

and the CNN pundits keep riding the Obama train. Even when the voters speak, even when they refuse to listen to the bias, you keep spinning!

What is this? There is no "split decision" Senator Clinton WON the big states and that is that.

CNN – ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO KEEP YOUR MEDIA DARLING OBUMMER GOING!!

HILLARY CLINTON WILL PREVAIL!! DON'T LET HIS HOT AIR GET TO YOU!!

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!

It doesn't matter at this point who you like more, or if you'd really like a female candidate. What matters is who can beat John McCain. Hillary will unite the republicans against her, and she cannot campaign effectively in red states. Obama is building a coalition across party lines and has done amazingly well in red states. Hillary voted for the Iraq war, and will be lampooned for being a "flip-flopper" by the republicans. Barack was against the war, and is the only dem left in a strong position to make the case for withdrawel. Hillary draws in some new voters, but Barack draws in amazing quantities of voters. Hillary can run a campaign, Barack can run a movement. The stakes are too high to take a risk with a candidate that 50% of the nation says they would never vote for under any circumstance. If you want to beat John McCain, Obama is the clear choice.

The evangelical Christian population really turned out in this election, but their vote was split. Had Huckabee been a better looser and left the race, the Evangelical population wouldn't have been forced to choose sides on the republican ticket and Mitt Romney would be the front runner today ..but there's no going back now. The nation as a whole wont be able to stomach McCain as President, he's exhurted himself as a loudmouth in past campaignes and the nation wants stability right now not wild antics. We are definately going to be a Democratic run government within the year.

Your comment is awaiting moderation
hmmmmmmm..................
35 min ..
If you are fair Cnn, then why dont you post my comment??????

zzzzzz.....huh. Who cares who wins the republican nomination. Their not going to win the general election.

Texas voter, Yeh HAW!!!!

Luis, your divisive attitude is EXACTLY what is wrong with the Republican party.
You and your ultra-conservative cronies are getting what's long been overdue – a public reckoning over a "holier-than-thou" pretense toward fellow Americans.
It's Americans like you that I am ashamed of.

It looks to me like Romney is taking away Huckabee's votes! How long until we finally get what we're asking for: a McCain-Huckabee ticket? Those who demand ultraconservative values are in the minority, and a man who is strong on defense but able to work across the aisle to achieve better results for the country will not only win the race but accomplish alot to erase the mistakes of the last eight years.

Luis its been a LONG 8 yrs with Bush in the White House. I don't think it matters who gets the presidency out of the candidates that you have mentioned, it can't be worse than that. We are ready for a change from the traditional politics of washington. I have to say, although I don't agree with many of McCain's positions, at least he is genuine and honest. That makes me respect him a lot more than Hillary or Mitt. I'm a leaning democrat, and if it came down to Hillary vs McCain, I could see myself support McCain because of his honesty. Thats something thats been lacking in the White House for quite some time.

Big surprise, the Mexicans overwhelmingly voted for McCain.

McCain's loyalties are to them as usual. In California the white vote

went to Romney. But the Latin invasion there put McCain over the top.

When Romney won the first round WV caucus, the McCain supporters

were directed to throw the vote to Huckabee to squash Romney.

Dirty old man wins, America loses!!!

Luis,

If you paid attention to any of the developing news, Huckabee didn't need to work any special arrangements to position himself to be a legitimate running mate or otherwise–his performance takes care of that.

Are you 100% sure there was a deal? Or are you swallowing Romney's propaganda?

Mike Huckabee is well aware that he doesn't stand a chance in winning the Republican nomination and yet he still is keeping himself in the race. Anyone with a brain knows what he is doing. Deliberately keeping another candidate who has a good platform, more so than him is absurd. Mike Huckabee can't win this race and he's aware of it, but he's hoping he will become John McCains vice-president, which is will be a disaster for this country.

We are in serious trouble – I hate to say it but I don't think it really matters who we put up – Americans are tired of us and will put a Dem in the house – we are in trouble

No the split will not help Obama, Its the Media that will with CNN leading the way for Obama.

GO HILLARY!!!!

Heaven help us all....He is old and confused.

In the general election, the media, who loves mcCain right now, will not love him in comparison with obmamamama...

"This is an historic election" meaning, vote for the black guy or the woman versus the old, bald, ugly white guy.

No chance, especially with his lifetime in the Senate. He has never created a job in the real world.

McCain is Washington DC politics as usual as we saw yesterday in West Virginia.

McCain owes too many favors to too many people, and that is just Ted Kennedy.

And everybody else will suffer because he is a vengeful, petty little man.

temper temper johnnie.

Not presidential. I don't see anything in him that represents me, especially since he dumped his wife and kids for his millionaire mistress half his age. That seals it for me. No way I could ever support a married skirt chaser.

.

It has already been a long 7 years.

McCain won because he is honest and not an ultra right wing freak. If you cannot be a moderate republican without being accused of be a democrat, then everyone who doesn't believe that the world is flat and evolution is a left wing conspiracy is a democrat.

Obama has won more delegates and not only does he have more money, he has for more doners who are not maxed out. He has a potential advantage in the next 7 states. If he can win 5 or so and run up the money, March 4th may be his chance to throw the knock out punch.

DITTO,LUIS !!!!!

Hmmm...your current delegate tallies don't yet include CA, so I think it's misleading to say that Obama currently leads among pledged delegates. Even though he will pick up a decent chunk in CA, it stands to reason she will pick up more than he does.

Let's not give up. Can you just imagine McCain sitting down with heads of state with his testy abrasive personality? WAR WAR WAR. This is all he has promised us anyway.

Luis,

I do not think the 18 votes in W. Va. was the deciding factor yesterday.

No longer than the last eight. (which could incidentally go down as rivaling Hoover's presidency as the worst term of a president in our history)

Anyway, as a registered Democrat, I am not sold on Hillary or Obama. I would actually prefer McCain than to a conservative mouthpiece without a plan (Huckabee) or a false conservative without a plan (Romney). (And by prefer, I mean I would consider voting for him.)

Luis,
What's so wrong with McCan't and Huckleberry taking votes from Romney. They are the two best politicians on the republican side. Romney is just a plain jerk and i think most people see that.

Luis,
You got what you deserved with GWB because, like him, you are ignorant.

McCan't is no democrat. He has been for the war all along. No matter what he's done in the past to make you think he's liberal, that will all change in the general election. He's been changing positions since he began running for president and will continue to do so in the pursuit of power.

You should be proud that Hillary or Obama will win. They will clean up GWB's mess and not just extend it like McCan't will.

If john McCain is Nominated. this Registered Republican Will Vote Democrat in November.
I guess I might as well plan on it and campaign for Hillary or Obama

I have been reading the blogs and watching Cnn .This Morning i couldn't keep silent..CNN YOU REALLY ARE NOT ANYMORE THE BEST POLITICAL TEAM ON TV...

>>> A little humble opinion, may be the States should review the way the election system works, seems to be so long, almost 2 years to elect a president... too many players have time to influence your vote with endorsment and $$$$$, I hope you all dont think Oprah didnt put a LOT of $$$ to help her boy?????

As an outsider , i wish you all the wisdom to make the right choice for your country.

As for CNN, well.....................................

Split? Not! Hillary is the clear winner no matter how CNN spins it.

Here's a thought. Why not vote for a social experiment to see if a women is better at leading than a man. We can't be any worse off than where we are after another 8 years of a man's decisions based on testosterone. How about that green jumpsuit on the aircraft destroyer claiming Mission Accomplished after the Shock and Awe in Iraq. Somehow I can't image a woman doing such a macho action. Give me someone who cries from emotion than an idiot like Bush that can't see the forest from the trees.

A Democrat in Republican clothing............working with Huckabee to derail Romney. Watch where Huckabee lands if, and it is a long shot, McCain wins the Presidential Election (VP or Cabinet Level post). As a Republican, I am ashamed of these tactics. We are going to get what we deserve.....a Billary or Obama win.

It is going to be a long four years..............................................

This whole debate over Experience and Change is a pea brain debate trumped up by the money hungry media who's out to rake in ratings with little regards to the integrity of the presidential election. Experience and Change is not mutually exclusive and it does not matter how you do the math...........experience enhances and propell change. Change without experience is just a random act that's statistically weak against change with experience. I predict Mccain will win this election. Whether going against Obama or Clinton. These polls showing people wanting change more then experience is useless. Everyone wants change! It'll come down to who people feel most comfortable in formulating and implementing the changes. Mccain is with the right experience to make this happen. Call off the rallies and the best actor performance. I'll take the man who apparently has no acting skills nor BS skills.....while has proven to be a work horse when it comes to serving the public. Wisdom is what we need and wisdom is what Mccain has to offer. The GOP may not recognize it now but Mccain is not only the best candidate for the party but he is the best candidate for the nation. The timing can not be more perfect! Mccain 2008.

I think that McCain's strong showing yesterday is a testiment to how little the Republican base thinks of the opinions of people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, and James Dobson. The nightmare of neoconservatism may be over!!!!

You go Hillary. Power to the people, not to those who only vote the way they are told by the Kennedys and Oprah.

Of course the split decision helps Obama. The media has got to get an Obama spin out of this.

Split decision helps no one but the Republicans. By the time this is over, the Republicans will maintain their hold on the White House and the media can thank themselves for splitting the Democratic Party.

Lets try to get some positive stories out there before it is too late.

Why can't CNN just report the news. Why do they have to use misleading titles to slant the election. They are no better than Fox news for being fair and balanced. And we saw where that got us: 8 years of the Bush administration that did more to damage the American way of life than any other. Wise up CNN or the backlash will happen.

McCain would be wise to select Huckabee as a Vice. The American people need the hope and spiritual inspiration Huckabee can bring to our nation for healing. With McCain's stregnth in war and Huckabee's spiritual strength, together they could bring America into a new future of peace.

Its astounding to see CNN trying to make anything favor Obama. What doesn't benefit Obama is LOSING the Super delegate count and trailing in the polls in the remaining battleground states.

What doesn't help Obama is that he won traditional Republican states that are going GOP in November.

What doesn't help Obama is that Hillary CRUSHED him in the traditional, delegate-rich Democrat states. When will the media hop off the Obama bandwagon and start reporting the entire news?

We live in the United States of America, not Obamaville.

Sorry CNN but your exclusive "coverage" of Obama did not sell the day. You should have listened to Hillary's town hall to hear what the solutions for America are rather than the canned speeches given by Obama and Kennedys. Try reporting the news not endorsing candidates. Note to Hillary supporters: ABCNEWS is much better at reporting unbiased reports.

There is no "work to do" among the conservatives with McCain because we are leaving the party for this year if he becomes the nominee. He can't win his party's favor, he can't win the Democrats in November

America you are so disappointing. Since when does an immoral, liar, cheat and traitor to his party garner so many votes? His shadow, Huckabee is a disgrace and you embrace him too. You will not escape the consequences of these choices.

Romney, please "stay the course". You are an honorable man with an impeccable resume and your home life is to be admired. May their be a miracle at the end of the road, otherwise Huckabee will become the new Perot who lets the Democrats in by splitting the party.

It's a shame America does not desire honorable traits in our candidates anymore

Too bad the republicans won't have a real conservative to vote for next month – guess the white house will go to a real democrat after all now (not the McCain democrat) – McCain is not good for America. Wish Rommey could turn around! Miracles can happen!

It's funny how the GOP's main issue was to end illegal immigration and then in the end they vote in the top Amnesty candidate. How does that honestly happen??
