CNN

CNN keeps saying that Hillary's wins were due to the Hispanic vote, but they stopped saying that Obama's wins were due to the Black vote

Is there a possibiltiy, with 3 Republican candidates still running, that no one is able to collect the needed 1191 delegates?

WE WANT a Clinton Obama ticket!

All the democrats I talk to are happy with any of our top running candidates.
We will are excited to have options – but we will unite!

If my republican father is voting for a democrat in the next election – I have to be optimistic!

The media doesn't get it. The Democrats are coming out in record numbers because of two people, BUSH and Chenney . I am so proud of Hillary, she has took abeating from the media and yet she once again proved what a strong woman and politician she is. She has been tried and tested and she still stands strong and continues to fight for all Americans. I am just not sure Obama , not given media attention and some kind of star status could have held up to same treatment as Hillary has. People want change and Hillary will make a change, she has been trying for years. She is the best candidate, many battles has she fought and she has a clear plan and direction. This candidate is a true fighter and I would be thrilled to call her President. She will beat McCain and the Democrats will take over the White House.

I love how so many people are excited about their candidate and cheering them on! I do worry a bit that many Obama supporters seem rabid in their shouting(even "shouting" in forums by using all capitals) campaign slogans. To me atleast it does not sway any voter that thinks ... and actually alientated me from his camp. I reminds me of some cult. I love various people but i never lose myself in that love. I love hearing opinions , view points and facts from Obama people and have found some enlightening not just energizing.Please people , can we state personal views and leave the repetition of slogans and poster speak to the campaign events?

yes it is great for democracey to turn out
too many voters

Won't matter. Most of these are solid blue states...a higher popular vote won't change the electoral college.

Happy to say in my sons school...they voted...and Hillary...did NOT win...it was Obama by a landslide....prove positive that literacy programs are working....and they will not support Hillary....as her ONLY consistent position is that she is a woman

Hillary is going home no question about it. OBAMA IS THE MEN, mark my words.

Go Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you are making a mistake in projecting voter turnout at the primaries to the general election in November.

The poor Republican turnout only reflects dissatisfaction with the choice of candidates, not dissatisfaction with conservative values. Conservatives will turn out in droves to keep Hillary out of the White House. Obama could be a president we merely disagree with, but still respect. Hillary, not so much.

If you want a Dem blowout in November, pick Obama, if you want a real fight, and to see the conservative line in the sand, by all means, pick another Clinton.

It was so thrilling to participate in my caucus last evening. The crowd was overwhelming in its enthusiasm and desire to stand in long lines to cast a vote.

That Obama won the vast majority of votes of Minnesotans made the night even sweeter.

Go Obama!!

I worked one southern Arizona poll yesterday. We had huge lines all day, and lots of first time voters. We also had a lot of independents who desperately wanted to vote, but who could not. I wish the Arizona legislature would extend the right to vote in the presidential preference election to the 30% of Arizona's voters who are registered independents or no party preference.

response to WMW:

"illegals" can't vote.
"disgruntled Repubs!" that may be voting democrat still means a larger chance of getting a dem in office

response to Here in the UK:

you give too much credit to the GOP followers. if their intelligence level was such that they voted for our current president, it would be ubsurd to think that large numbers of them thought to vote for a candidate in the primary that would be easier for their party to beat in the general. especially when all obama is doing is gaining momentum.

everyone else:

the statistics and your comments also give me much hope. the bottom line is whether democrat, republican, or independent, previously dormant voters are participating and an increasing number of people are either digging their heels in their place on the left or moving to the left because they want a change.

My opinion...Isn't it refreshing to have two candidates with the good sense to imediately start setting themselves up to run against the republicans while in a tight fight for the Democratic nomination. I know the media wants confrontation, so I would ask the media to do is their job, cover them and give them TV time, even if they are not being stupid and nasty. Let them talk about issues, let them introduce new and REAL issues like patent law reforms, election reforms, right up there with stem cell research, womens rights, the unconstitutionality of the patriot act... see my point?
These are fun issues! Start reading up Solidad, this election could give you the opportunity to show some real intellect as well as be cute:) What a wonderful experience for the AMERICAN PEOPLE!

To the producers, it is time to tell some powerful folks that your Journalists require some freedom to look into real issues again. It is YOUR job to define and investigate issues. Has it ever been more important?

Hey, thanks fro letting me have my say in a public forum!

Ever since Bill came down on Jessica Yelsin (or whatever her name is), CNN has been anti Hillary. I love Cnn and have watched it for years but I see them trying to cause friction between the Democratic leaders. Jessica asked an irrelevant non-political question and Bill told her there was no room for those kinds of questions in this election.

I love Cnn and have watched it for years but I see them trying to bring down Hillary.

Also, get rid of Carl Bernstein. He should be graciously staying away from politics as is his friend Bob Woodward. Carl is the typical Republican that thinks he knows everything. I'd never read his book on Hillary because it was not approved by Hillary. Carl's out of his element. If Bob is working for one of the other networks, I'm sure he is much more eloquent than dowdy Carl.

He talked about the two Democrats hating each other. Well, duh??

I don't think they hate each other. They're too much alike. But, CNN and Bernstein will bring up every little remark by either Clinton or OBama and will make a negative read of it.

Wake up, CNN. Smell the roses and the wonderful change coming to politics!!!

Have you heard "it's the economy stupid?" no it's not and it's not the war, and it's not the Republicans, and it's not the Democrats.

It's you and me!
American Democracy works best when the people are involved- it works better still when they are involved for the good of the nation and not the good of themselves or a particular party.

Compromise was the key in the creation of the Constitution and the ratification.
We the People...In Order to form a more Perfect Union is the principle that has been missing for the last 20 years.

The people looking for that more perfect union must guide the voters to choose wisely the candidate that can most effectively acheive this goal

As an african american mom of 2 in my 30's, I'm so very proud of our dem candidates, it clearly shows that this country is yawning for real change. Change that will no doubt benefit this generation and the next. On the subject of issue and who can most deliver on these campaign promises, I'm with Clinton as she has demonstrated record of change in her work with disabled children, public school education improvement, procuring child healthcare, upholding veterans benefits etc. Obama is a wonderful candidate as well, as my hubby would say, but I believe that America needs someone of higher experience to deal with the crisis of the economy, healthcare, better education for all our children, (pre-K-college), etc. On foreign matter, Obama has the upper hand in that he has always been against the war, but the reality is that we are there now and the majority of the American people want out of there, so both candidates are on the same page moving forward. To this end, what we need to truly unify our party in Nov is a Clinton-Obama ticket. This will bring all the demographics together and propel us forward to face the challenges of the 21st century. And afterwards, Obama, can take the white house for another 8 yrs.

I added up the number of votes received in the democratic primaries last night:

Obama 7,238,726

Clinton 7,096,197

I think we all know who the front runner is and for everyone that is not sure let me remind everyone her name is "Hillary Clinton" ........... and she will be the next President of the United States!!!!!!!!!

I am originally from California, and have now lived in Arizona for one year, and I am so very happy that both states went to Hillary.

Hillary keep on, keeping on.

Let Obama have it in the next debate.

I live in Ohio and my husband and I have already made up our mind who we are voting for March 4th. It will be Obama. I truly believe he will be the next president. I sure feel sorry for him the mess he is getting because of the last 8 years.

Barack definitely has the charisma and has charmed me. His speeches really move me. He doesn't have to look down ONCE! But at the end of the day I'm not looking for the person I like the most, I'm looking for someone that can get things done. He has done good things but not enough that make me comfortable he can get down to the nitty gritty. You can be "right" (correct) from the start but over the course of time you WILL be wrong. So that isn't a selling factor to me. A lot of presidents have got things wrong but were able to turn around.

Hillary may not be able to "unite" the country but if you take away the surface, she can get things done. Yes, there is a LOT of baggage. And the likability factor is nowhere near Obama. And why not choose Obama when he is nice and shiny? Because how do you know nice and shiny can remain shiny through the nitty gritty? I don't. I don't want all these "changes" made when I'm not sure if they can really be done! I want changes made I know that may not be as bold but CAN be changed. I need someone who knows what it takes because they have been involved for so long. So although nice and shiny is appealing, I cannot vote for him.

Go Hillary!

If the Democrats turn out in November in similar numbers, the GOP will be destroyed electorally.

This could be a political realignment like 1932 and the GOP will be on the severely losing side.

Rush Limbaugh, the most listened GOP pundit said that a John McCain candidacy will destroy the GOP. He's right, it's happening already.

I continue to be amazed at both the MSM and cables channels (not much news there). In an almost orchestrated manner HRC is belittled, slighted and maligned without justification while Mr. Obama is uplifted and heralded as the savior of our country. I truly like and admire Mr. Obama BUT fair is fair. The stubborn fact is he did NOT vote against the initial resolution (words from afar are much easier than those stated while in the fire) and he did NOT vote against the Iran resolution when there was no reason to avoid it ! Yet those are the foundation of his somewhat arrogant claim that he would be RIGHT from day one, impying that he would continue to be RIGHT going forward. I guess that implies that he would actually SHOW UP and be COUNTED when we needed him. Chis Matthews, Howard Fineman, Wolf and yes even the "special commentator" Olbermann have made their decision to annoint Mr. Obama. Please, people, how about YOU REPORT and WE will decide.

Hugh turnout?? There were only 2 other people at my polling station. Obama took it easy..

Welding:
You are what's wrong with politcs and this country. You just insulted 50% of the people of this country (Republicans) with your Hard-Line agenda and views. Most people stand in the middle and partially base their vote on the previous administration. You clearly demonstrated that you vote Democrat regardless of who's on the ticket. We all hope that you at least make an informed decision and simply don't hate your Republican parents.

I agree with Christopher that the true winners are the American people. Democrats have finally realized that they can't just sit and watch and hope their candidate wins, they need to go out and vote. But the true test will be in November when 50% of the Democrats won't have the candidate they voted for in the primaries as the presidential candidate. In November we'll see if people remain active or if they lost interest when their presidential hopeful lost the nomination. The Republicans would greatly benefit since they have always demonstrated strong party unity.

I'm troubled by reports, including today's NYT editorial, promoting the idea that the Democratic party is deeply divided. This isn't true for me. For once there is an actual ELECTION going on, as opposed to the machine-tooled coronations we're used to. While Obama (my choice) and Clinton are roughly similar in many policy issues, they differ deeply on some, and more deeply in the kind of political forces they represent.

This is a good thing. The democrats fielded 3 candidates I would be happy to vote for. This has never happened in my adult life (I'm 48).

The fact that Dems are turning out in record numbers might, just might, have something to do with the fact we have something to vote FOR.

I think whom ever the Democrats nominee is, they can beat the Republican. The country wants change and change is no more of the pro war Republicans. Change is so important, this process started so early on because the Country just wants to have an end in sight. Democrats are united and strong.

These numbers are nothing short of historic. An electorate that is FED UP with an administration that has ignored the people for 7 years and has all but destroyed our pride and reputation. Don't underestimate the corporate owned media spin effect. Remember that Republicans would LOVE to see Clinton win the nomination as they are scared TO DEATH of Obama! Watch for this bias/spin in the media...

I would like to ask the democratic candidates to answer the following question. "If you lose the popular vote but win the majority of delegates will you step down in favor of the candidate that won the popular vote?

No surprise when you get Republicans voting for Obama so they can rout him in November.

Illinois is full of sheep.....OBAAAAAAAAAAma, Obaaaaaaaaaaaaama
Just because he is a half-baked politican in your state, doesn't mean you have to vote for him.. You could use your brain and think about the issues. Look behind all the fluff and lack of substance.

Why are the Democratic numbers up? Because these people don't usually vote in a primary. That's all it means. It's got nothing to do with how many people turn out in November.

YES WE CAN!

vegage,

I agree. CNN has been a big advertising agent for barrack Obama. may be they do not like the Clintons.. especially after Bill tried to drive them away during the SC polls. However it is apparent that CNN is in favor of Obama and does all the positive campaigning. They tend to see only the Good in Obama and Bad in CLinton. Well I am glad she won and hope she wins in Nov also.. I'd be very glad if CNN stands neutral again..

Hillary, We are praying for you and your victory.

We need a President that is not dedicated to one side or the other. We need a President that is dedicated to the people. All of these candidates should be somewhere at the white house so all of the issues the people have voiced can be addresses.

Are you kidding. Most of these so-called new voters are illegals and disgruntled Repubs!

This should serve as a warning to the Republicans. If these figures in a general election campaign are even only half right, they cannot and won't win.

It is amazing to see how Hillary won this super Tuesday contest. After this huge wave of endorsements to Obama and the huge coverage that Obama received in CNN, in the last week every time I tuned CNN they were talking about Obama surge, so it is impressive how she won in popular vote by a considerable margin and in delgates. She hold herself with strenght and grace. I do not see that story being said in CNN at all. It is interesting to see how Fox News and MSNBC are declaring her as the winner and in CNN all I can see is a front page with Obama picture, undermining the real result of this contest, that was, Hillary's triumph. Definitely in my opinion CNN is sided with Obama.

GO HILLARY!

This is History, Obama is not just about race, gender, age, or anyting else that the media is talkingabout. He has a vision, CHANG comes in different forms.
1. a change in the white house
2. a change on how people feel about eachother,
3. a change that can unit us not divide us
4. a change that makes us bleive that we can do it if we can unit as on Nation.

YES WE CAN!!!

God Bless America

keep on voting. But just lets not forget the true test is November. Keep the woo;ies around.

I think this is all about not having a clear 'front-runner' more than any particular candidate.... people actually believe their vote will ACTUALLY mean something... the choices has not being made for them in the early voting states.... I'm voting next week, and I'm really looking forward to it, for the first time in a long while.... I can actually make a difference in the campaign!!!!!

Good going!

Big, big smile !!

These may be some of the most beautiful, important numbers out there today.

The overwhelming rise in the Democratic numbers and the weak, declining numbers on the other side show clearly we will control the govt. in less than one year.

"Permanent Majorities" ain't what they used to be, eh ?

The 'Pubes made their bed years ago by choosing a mentally retarded puppet of evil capitalists to lead their sad, Gimpy Old Party and now they can sleep in it for another 20 years – Dems have the big-big momentum now.

They could have chosen McCain in 2000 or 2004 and preserved some bit of dignity for their Neanderthalic philosophies.

Instead they let greed get the best of them and now the Bush-Dolt has set their cause back 20 years. They have to grit their teeth and take McCain, too late.

Obama, Clinton – it just doesn't matter – let's all march quickly and resolutely away from these Dark Age nut-jobs.

Bye-bye Repub-Capitalist-Neocons – enjoy the wilderness.

- a very happy camper

Le us stand together as humanitarians not as stickers, labels. Americais a Great Country and it is because blood has mingled with blood & nothing else.

God Bless ALL Americans, USA.

A poor servant of humanity.

YOW!

This looks as if it doesn't matter who the Republican Nominee turns out to be.

"You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."-Bob Dylan

Clearly the Big Winner on Super Tuesday was the American people. While the issues of the day may draw more voters to the polls, the future of the country is what really matters. "Change" has been the catch-word of this campign and I think the voters finally got it- voter involvement is the key to change- record breaking voter turnout is a victory for the Constitution and the American People. Let this be a message to the nominees for both parties- the voters are demandng to be heard- we will not be ignored- popular sovereignty is the key to American Democracy

As a graduate student in International Affairs with a background in Political Science this gives me great hope for the future.

Thoreau said: "Only that day dawns to which we are awake." The voters (democrats, at least) are waking up. This is a VERY good sign for our country. Whether it's good for any particular politician remains to be seen.......change is in the wind.

Yeah, they do it all the time, the early show up, but once it gets cold, forget it!

There is a fact that obama is black but there is a greater fact that this whole movement is beyond the black race...

the teenage vote is not yet in 18 to 25 year olds wait until main vote they are 20percent of all registered voters. hillary needs to bridge the gap real quick to win in november
