This response is to Eric. Your statement to Sen. Obama's "our time has come, our movement has come" refers to the nation as a whole. Remember, his message is about change and inclusiveness. This reference is not just for one group of people, but for everyone to work together and to leave the 'old way' of doing things in the past where it belongs.

In 2001 Amaricans voted for 9/11 and in 2004 Americans voted confilict in Iraq. now its the time for Americans to change. and get new ideas, now the whole world support Obama that means he has the chance to re-unite the whole world rather than brings back Hillary Clinton the one who supported the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 to abuse the Americans that they don't care about the humanity . please don't bring these people back in the white House.

These elections is not for Americans only its for the whole world if the American can not be secure ,that means the whole word can not be secure.

Please American help us give Obama chance to change American and the whole world. thank you !

If your are afraid of change I can understand why you are afraid Obama, but why would anyone be afraid of change after these last 8 years. I and lots of others aren't just liberals – we want change and positive change. America won't be around much longer unless we CHANGE. We need refill of hope because america is running on low.

Why does it appear that CNN favors the Clinton campaign?

Swing States to consider in the Hillary Obama saga
NH- Hillary (4 electoral)
Arkansas-Hillary (6 electoral)
Nevada-Hillary (5 electoral)
New Mexico-Tie
Florida/Michigan-No Contest (in fairness- no-one campaigned)
Iowa-Obama (7 electoral)
Minnesota-Obama( 10 electoral)
Missouri-Obama( 11 electoral)
Colorado-Obama ( 9 electoral)

Here are the remaining swing state contests: Virginia, PA, Ohio, Wisconsin, Oregon

People should stop focusing on the hype and on the states that really determine the outcome of the election. Which is why it was insane of the democratic party to bar campaining in florida and michigan. Rather than Barack and Hillary supporters worry about the miniscule points that seperate them and worrying about who's more qualified because if democrats go with the hillary-experience argument against Mcain, you'll lose hands down. Focus on the swing states, if hillary does not carry these states she should not be the nominee because not carrying them in the general election would be bad news for democrats.
So far we have an obama advantage in swing states lets see how the remainder especially ohio with its 20 electoral votes sand PA with its 21 shakes out.

Hillary continues to win by big margins among the "establishment" democrats and in the established democratic states which will vote blue come November anyway. So in my humble opinion, lets put away the confetti when talking about CA, NY and IL (yes I know barrack carried IL) so winning those states is more of a moral victory rather than an electibility indicator. As democrats, and I am not one, your focus should be on the ever important swing states ahem Ohio (not yet contested) and Missouri (which she lost). Ohio and Missouri have elected the president every cycle save 1 time each since 1948 and 1904. So rather than celebrate the inevitably democratic states why not focus on how she will carry ohio (if she is able to stop obama)

America is on the thresh hold of a new down.And I believe Americans will not vote for Mitt Romney a Mormon, more of a secret society than a church. Hilary Clinton represents the old gaurd, that is still dependant on yesterday's ideas to run a complex world that has largely been defined by the fear of terrorism.Macain represents the Bush kind of thinking that has been counter productive to American interest around the world.America has a date with History, but this can only be realised if either Huckabee or Obama is elected as president of the United state of America.

Iam not a citizen and just watching from the sidelines and it seems CNN is totally in the Obama camp, I watched with amazement last night how blatent it was. Is this Democracy where the media chooses a candidate and then becomes the defacto channel to push it on the country???

Hi Hmm!! Are you implying that when Latinos dont vote African American candidate it is racism but if Chinese Americans vote for Barrack Obama,
are you saying it is change. Get real!!!

how can senator clinton claim she won super tuesday when she has be running for this day for almost 16yrs now with the backing of the establishement and she did not win the most popular vote or more state or even more delgates than the humble junior senator from illonis.I think THIS IS A BIG VICTORY FOR OBAMA TEAM. Even in her backyard and bigcities were clinton is a household name, the peoples movement still held its ground.

CNN favors Obama while doing the the primary coverage ont Tues. Night. Why?? I thought reporters were suppose to be NUTRUAL

You are just as bad as Chris Mathews from MSNBC!!

it is high time we all put aside our personal agendas and instead focused on what is best for our country as a whole. we have right wing evangelicals voting their personal beliefs, people voting the race card, women rights activists voting the gender card. put aside your personal wants and instead focus on what is best for OUR country!. 8 years ago i said god help us all when bush was elected and i for one do not want another one like him in office. we are one country and should vote what is best us, one nation.

This election clearly exposes voters illitracy and riotous emotion that blinds reality.Gender, race, charisma, smooth talk, eloquency, likability 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?

Now that we know that the Dem will like to have both Barack and Hillary. It is time to check who will be the best to win the election against the Rep. I really think that the Dem superdelegates should start to rethink their position and make sure they make the right choice. I think they have been giving this role to use it in such a situation. That is to my mind their duty: they should not play now politic or decide this behind closed doors. I think they all should be asked to explain their decision. This the Dem nomination they should keep this in mind.
They should vote for the one they think can win the gen. election in Nov.
My position is clear that person in Barrack. It just a check in the internet to see who the rep. are looking for as the candidate of the Dem. It is clear they will not pick the one they think can win. The republicans’ can't wait to run against her. Obama will expands the party by attracting new voters, Hillary will divided the entire country and mobilizes the Republican base and consolidate conservatives (even if they don’t like him) behind John McCain
Also think about this. We really need to stop this dividing of America. If Hillary is the nominee and even she win (what in this case I will support), the country will remains divided. Because it is 100% sure that Hillary is dividing candidate at least for the Rep. Voters. And also the independents don't like and will not support Hillary. So the country will remain divided. I think also same if John McCain wins, the country will be divided.
This is the time to unify the country. If John and Barack is candidate we can be at least sure that the country will not be divided and that the issues will be really back in the center of the vote of voters and in this case result will be seeing as dividing reason.
Therefore the Dem conv. has to put pressure on these superdelegates to wisely make their decision for the Dem Party and not for their political tactics.
I will say make the choice that make sure America is united, for America and the rest of the world.

QUESTION: Do Latinos really like Clinton or do they dislike blacks. I wonder if we have a sidebar racial issue here? Anyone can be racist – not just plain old white guys. So... are Latinos (not all, but some Latinos, a noticable "some") racist? Do Chinese people like Clinton or dislike blacks? California may be less positive for Clinton and more negative as per some underlying racial issues from a reverse perspective. Someone had to say it.

Hillary supporters... if you think it's so wonderful that she won "the important states" – then you're just like Guilliani. And, well, you/the Clintons, are like Rudy... Face it – trying to "calculate" a win is your only care. It must really hurt to see Obama make it a race by actually running a full-breadth campaign based on a desire to make a difference for people. Oh, and give us all a break... CNN's coverage is not even nearly biased. It's almost painfully balanced, as they do a very good job of not calling the Clintons out on what low-brow gamers they are.

You think Obama is the uniter. Dr. King is rolling over in his grave. This man will only further divide the country.

Us Texas boys ain't fooled by no Obama. Causus states don't mean nothin'. Thets whar only a select few, a hundred or so coyotes enter a room then devide up fer the candidate of thar choice. Partner, do you really think cacuses really represent the people as a whole in thet there state? I think not. Obama get ready to watch the dust from Hillarys horse as she stampedes through Texas and the rest of the nation. Then Hillary be so kind and do not throw this skunk on us fer VP. VOTE HILLARY

please, america. just because you hate bush, dont immediately take the first thing that appeals to you because they are minority/female. neato speaches work great in cartoons and movies but idealism is cancer to rational decisions. real life is a different story, you know that. trust me, i am not racist/sexist but this all seems like a knee jerk reaction.. "sayyyyy- he/she is different– lets vote for him/her!" i LOVE 60% of what Barak says and i do think he would make an outstanding president. sadly, the 40% more than dooms him. and hillary just irks me. america does not need to give more handouts to peolpe who dont work for them in the first place. reality of the matter is the GOP will win this nov regrdless of how much the country hates bush. if im wrong then i pray im wrong about the Dem candidates as well.

ALL FOR OBAMA!That is the sentence....

For those who don't like the candidates guess what God Loves them it doesn't matter what you think!!!!!

The Obama MOVEMENT it is the new AMERICA.???

White female here.

I was impressed by the fact that Fox News decided to cut off McCain's speech and broadcast the full Obama speech, wich was very long and very to the point and I'm sure was heard by republicans too. I think that even some people there can't hate him (or actually can't help but like him), despite their own convictions and affiliations. It was a fine speech and the moment when the crowd chanted "USA, USA" was trully unique.

Last night was a great experience for me as young democratic voter. The Bush's and Clinton's have been in office too long. There is time for a change. Not saying I do not like Hillary, but when she speaks, I do not feel that she is really being sincere. When Obama speaks, he speaks with certainty and conviction. He feels what he is saying, and if you really want change in America, then your heart will lead you to Barack Obama. I say keep doing what you are doing Barack. I will be seeing you in the White House.

obama speak with two tongues, he says he is a uniter but in his previous speech he said if he is the nominee Hillary's people will go to him, but if Hillary is the nominee, he said he's not sure if his people will go to Hillary. That sounds like a sore loser and not a uniter but a divider!
As a uniter he should urge his people to join Hillary if she becomes the nominee to ensure a Democrat President in the White House.

People, listen and understand what is being said don't just go by the peer pressure or crowd mentality.

Vote wisely!!!

To Eric -who thinks that Obama's "out time has come" refered to RACE.

It refered to us people who want CHANGE, my dear. Not to blacks. He was speaking to a mixed audience of whites, blacks, latinos, asians, old, young, female and male. He would have NEVER EVER dared to alienate the non-blacks by such statement. Obviously...ad it's SOOOO OBVIOUS, he really doesn't inject RACE into this election. Hey he even LOVES the republicans (in the sense that is willing to work with them for the greater good). Impressive, really, how he moves people.

When he was speaking last night, there was a middle-aged white woman in the audience, behind him..and she was literally CRYING when he was speaking and she had to lean on another middle-aged black woman who smiled and supported her. Now that's moving and beautiful! That's what this is all about! I'm surprised CNN and the media hasn't picked up on the tears of that woman, they were moving.

Why doesn't cnn hire the obama girl to report, she could be as neutral as any of the reporters. Even John King has joined the obama bandwagon. Hillary has proven one thing, she's a fighter. I liked Obama until the bias started. Please treat both of them evenly. pbs is looking better ever day.

Is it possible that voters in caucus states, being that voting is open and obvious to all caucus-goers, are intimidated into voting one way or another by highly motivated or aggressive attendees? I'd be curious to see the results if caucuses had secret ballots.

to abbie01;

u're right, i agree with you.

Obama won Missouri, Alaska and Minnesotta, isn't that what you guys projected last night????

CNN for Obama !! ...lol What would you cover more the Super Bowl or the commercials...? CNN is just covering what America and the International Community wants to see and needs to see. Hmm, i guess Hillary hasn't had enough coverage from all of '07, no complaints last year from the Hill' supporters when she was running basically by herself and getting all the coverage and early votes, funny what a little competition will bring.

Barrack has earned the coverage he has received for waking up a conscious in America that has been sleep for way too long, not just speaking of this current Administration but others before, YOU know it, CNN knows it, as well as other Media Forums. Hillary, a fine candidate she is, simply does not grab the hopes and possiblities of the average 'real' american who does not want to sell our Country out anymore. Barrack embodies the American spirit, and it is the spirit that makes people move, makes people want to get involved and take ownership of their Government.

This Country needs sound judgement moving ahead and someone who can Unite not only here in the States but abroad. Last night's Voting did one thing most important to me and that is prove that American's are listening and now that America (not just Dem's and Rep's) is listening, their ears and hearts will be open to the Truth that is Barrack Obama. The longer this race goes on the more chance for America to bare witness to a candidate who is not just in it to win it at all cost but is in it to win it for you.

Even 'IF' the Senator from Illinois does not win it all, the impact of his message will live thru every american and those abroad and the American people will demand change from whomever is lucky enough to preside over this great country.

Thank you Obama!!

I am conservative in some areas and liberal in others. I want Obama to win Ohio and then become our next President. I feel no loyalty or alignment to any party. If Hillary wins the nomination I will be forced to once again write in Jimmy Buffett's name. While I am sure he appreciates the idea of being President (NOT)....I would much rather cast a vote that will lead to a better functioning country....so until then...."Please don't say 'manana' if you don't mean it"

Just forgot to add... I agree that having caucus favors Obama. The old and busy peoples' voices should also be heard

It seems to me that most of these people posting comments need to repeat third grade english. Obama is our best chance at making sure future generations don't turn out as uneducated as these people.

OBAMA SELLS PLATITUDES,NOT POLICY. American people need to look at voting records, experiences, as well as the candidates platform on the issues. When the American people really look at the differences between Obama and Hillary Clinton, they will see for themselves Obama rest on cloud-castle platitudes and Hillary has real answers on the issues facing the American people.

I am glad to hear of so many people picking up on the fact that CNN is for Obama. I was totally discussed with the last debate at the cutting questions asked of Hillary – and I understand that is part of the game – but where were the questions that should have been asked Obama. CNN is biased and for that reason I will not tune in to CNN in the future as I have in the past. Listen to good old Charlie Gibson. He stays neutral but also informs ( I feel) us of the true facts and educates everyone as to how the process is going. Good bye CNN and Hello "Charlie" I feel that Obama does not have the experience that Hillary does. And how does he propose to make his dreams come true? He hasn't really addressed any technical issues on telling us how he plans to make this "change" come true.

I completely agree. It is like Obama bought the media. You hear no positive things about Hillary even though she is ahead in the race and they never say anything negative about Obama. How ridiculous is that. He gets all of the publicity and she gets pushed aside.

Obama does better in caucuses. Hillary does better in primaries. I wish we could have one national primary and stop duping money in Iowa and all the other early caucus states. It should be a more uniformed system. It seems to have an effect which that early on, is not helpful to those who wish to make their case.

All of you who think Clinton is so great and think Obama lacks experience . . . remember . . . Bill Clinton lacked experience also, but you would be willing to have another 4 years of the Clinton reign, right?. Therefore . . .I guess that pokes holes in your "lack of experience" reasoning.

As a divided United States we will get nothing done. We are in need of someone who can bring this country together. Hillary is not that person.

CNN has done an amazing Job as well as the other stations in being unbias.
I think many of American are so used to bias reporting that when you can not determine who the anchor/ reporter is supporting some Americans feel they are favoing Obama. It is called being fair – Fair coverage.

Also, Americans both candidates are Great Americans and let 's not devalue or tear down the other candidate. Just make your choice for your and your family and allow others to do the same.

In Addition, Obama supporters ... look at the numbers and how the margins shrunk and disapeared in some states. We have made tremedous progress.
Look at the states that were won. No one can say that Obama did not get a plethora of support . Everybody that wants to see a change – we need to realize the history of this country and that this will be a coalition of all of us to over turn the otherside.

I love you all and I believe that we will prevail. Let's move ahead.

It's time now for everyone to take a real good look at who Obama really is and seriously compare his plans with Clinton's. If we nominate a motivational speaker with no real ability to change anything we have all lost.

WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE IS THAT OBAMA WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO EVEN BE THERE. CONSIDERING THAT THE HILARY HAS BEEN PLACING HER MACHINE IN ALL STATES YEAR BEFORE OBAMA. IT IS ACTUALLY A POOR SHOWING. IN A SHORT TIME OF RUNNING IN THE RACE FOR THE PRESIDENCY WE SEE A DEAD HEAT . MOST OF THE PLUNDITS DID NOT THINK 6 MONTHS AGO THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THE BEST THING OUT OF IT ALL IS THAT WHEN THEY FINALLY GET TO THE POINT OF GETTING THE NOMINATION. THE TWO TOGETHER WOULD BE THE BEST AGENTS OF CHANGE FOR OUR COUNTRY. REMEMBER THE "WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING" AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE PERSONS OF COLOR AND THEIR COUNTRIES ARE GROWING RAPIDLY WITH GREAT WEALTH WHILE WE TRY TO POLICE THE WORLD.. A WHITE WOMAN AND A BLACK MAN TOGETHER WILL SURELY OPEN UP LINES OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CAN NOT DO ANY WORSE THAN THE SAME OLD GREAT WHITE FATHERS WHO WITH THEIR ARROGANCE HAVE SOLD OUT OUR COUNTRY FROM UNDER OUR FEET FOR "THE LOVE OF MONEY"! THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SHOWN THAT OUR COUNTRY IS READY FOR CHANGE AND THAT CHANGE INCLUDES INVOLVING ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY. THEY WILL HAVE THE GREATEST EFFECT WITH TOGETHER ON THE SAME TICKET. BE READY FOR 16 YEARS OF CHANGE!

Vow..the comments are amazing..some complaining about blacks voting for blacks, women voting for women, some are furiious that latinos and asians voted for hillary who has best interest outside of US (question to you if the person has voting rights what makes u to judge they have the best interest outside of US, what is the guaruantee that obama does not have outside interest of US towards his parents living outside of US) but anyways im amazed how people are outraged against voting between the same dems party..lol are we looking for a next best president to make america strong as before or just looking for a president just to prove that we can produce a black persident or a women president.....either one of them come up if this continues i see a strong position for republican unless the voters perception changes to think deeply beyond race and gender.

The WORLD wants Obama to be the President! His victory will symbolize the real democracy.

I'm considered an oldie ....I've lived long enough to see Eugene McCarthy , George McGovern , Lived under Jimmie Carter ...They all campaigned on change...I'm still waiting.......Mr. Obama is a great orater....but what are his accomplishments ????
One decision on the war ??? barely a few years in Senate ???? And so we all want change ??? Change into what ?? A frog , maybe?? ..Hey ,we have too many issues facing us as a Nation....I like him , but don't think he has the "Moxie" to run the Gov'T . To me ,come back in a few more years after you have lived a little and fought the good wars .Show me something more than a flair for words . One mans opinion .

I believe a voter paraphrase exactly what I thought. Here is a man who a couple of months ago had NO shot of a democratic nomination. His message was not sent to millions and he was practically unheard.

Now here we have him, he has won majority of the states, and Clinton lead is fastly disappearing. It can be argued, "Clinton won California". and yes a huge win for her. But what people fail to understand is, THESE DELEGATES ARE BROKEN UP AND WILL SPLIT to each nominee.

I truly believe Obama will win the candidance if he remains at this rate. And don't forget the $32 million he's brought in, in comparison to Hillary $13.5 million

Obama’s speech was extra ordinary last night. Very inspiring He can lead us Hope In how to be united as one nation,

Go Obama !!!

All you resist people go away, this is the 21st century. You are an insult to the society we need change .. good change ..

He is the only one that can unit us and heal us as one nations!

Go Obama !!!

i think the americans doesnt need some set of people who will govern the country and direct the country anyhow they like after making love on bed

I would like to say congratulations to both Hillary and Obama. I think either one will do a good job as President. I am bias to a degree as an African American, but the Job take a lot more than talk. Remember the Task is being able to work with both sides of the political parties to get the job done. I don't think that it is as easy as Obama thinks to leave Iraq. Leaving will mean we condone fighting and civil wars there. The next president will be required to think on the best way to leave a secured Iraq even if you didn't vote for the way or voted for the war. I don't think the candidates should start blaming one another but to decide on a stragety to win and not just leave. Discussions should be on how to grow our economy, education, insurance for all americans and how to end a war with dignity.

Go O B A M A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA did a GREAT job... considering Hillary was the front runner, the name, the contacts, the establishment.

OBAMA continue to gain the lead by winning even more states and continue your message TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER FOR ALL OF US.

No more of the same....no more Clintons no mores Bushs!

OBAMA '08

It would be great if CNN favored Obama. Everyone should favor Obama. He's the only one who cares more about America than he does about gaining power. Two faced Hillary has no chance of winning a general election, and she does nothing to bring this country back together after the huge divide that Bush has created. She is more of the same, and Obama will help heal the wounds that she never could. Get a clue people she is nothing a but a two faced poll reading wannabe.

I'M SO GLAD THAT IM LIVING IN CANADA VERY NONE RACIAL..

We are still divided as a country just like Obama said.

111

WOULD YOU GUYS STOP BEATING ON OBAMA??????? IS IT HIS FAULT CNN FOCUS ON HIM, HE HAS DONE WELL ON HIS CAMPAIGN AND GETTING THE MEDIA TO NOTICE IT, IT PART OF IT, NOW ALL OF YOU WRITING NEGATIVE ABOUT IT, STOP. WE DON'T WANT DYNATIES IN THE WHITE HOUSE, FIST THE BUSHES, NOW THE CLINTONS PLEASE, I RATHER HAVE MITT ROMNEY

Denver- I was wondering that myself. It definitely seems to favor Obama over Hillary.

Oh yes, publicizing one's vote in a racially charged atmosphere perpetuated by Obama supporters does influence votes........

This is not the time to hire someone for On The Job Training. Oh that's right, he'll have "advisors", like Bush "the MBA President" had advisors. Hillary will be focused on fixing the problem not learning about the system and I suppose "networking".

Primary is the real voice of voters. I don't trust caucus system. We need American people's voice, every single voter's voice. Hillary won primary States, Obama won all of caucus States,???

To all of the Obama supporters who claim that it is about the delegates; then cheer when Obama wins Missouri. So what! They both got the same number of delegates and Obama won by less than 1 percent. Missouri was basically a split; so although Obama can add Missouri to his count, Hillary still has the most delegates.

I say congratulations to both Obama and Clinton on a job well done.

Now on to the remaining States.

America needs to cuts dowm rhe dynasty show of Bush to Bush and Clinton to Clinton for a change.
Obamas are few and it's time a chance is given to the new generation of politcians. Obama is just the choice of time.

Wow, it really pains me to see people using race and gender as their primary reason for both voting or not voting for a candidate. That is the most irresponsible thing that anyone, as a voter and citizen, can do. We should be basing our decisions on the issues which are most important to us. We should not for for someone simply because she is a white woman or he is a black man or a religious man. We should be voting for who is best suited to pull our nation together, pull us out of this war, and make the world, overall, a better place. I'm tired of hearing that CNN is biased when they are merely reporting facts. No big surprise that Hillary has won NY and NJ. What makes CNN biased for not focusing all of their attention on her? And why should they? She is not the only candidate. People are just looking for an excuse to place blame, AS USUAL. If we want to improve societally, nationally, and globally then we must stop this thinking pattern and unite. Get out of your rut guys! Be good leaders for the future! I'm 26 years old and this is the first election in which I can vote for someone in whom I truly believe. As a political scientist I foresee us going down a long, terrible road if so many people keep thinking like this!

As of now...Clinton is only 6 delegates above Obama if you do not count the superdelegates.

If it gets to the superdelegates making the difference...I suspect we are going to have a lot of unhappy people.

an Obama win is a win for the Republicans... blacks are voting for Obama because he is black.. liberal whites are voting for Obama out of some missplaced guilt... that's fine... when the Republicans win the White House in a landslide over Obama we can all say thanks to liberal whites and blacks for their help in keeping the Republican party in power for another 4 years!!

Why are all the Clinton supporters so angry. Drink more of the koolaid Hillary gives you it will be ok.

Why would anybody want to elect Hillary after the disgrace the Clintons brought to the Whitehouse and the USA duing the last CLINTON Presidencies??? Like Mit Romney states, she has not even run a coner store; AND she wants to run the largest business in the world and learn with On the Job Training!!

Think about it . . . Hillary wins among Asians and Latinos . . . both groups who have interests outside of the US. That says something about her and where her interestes are. We truly do need a change. We have been under the Bush – Clinton rule for 24 years now, if Hillary gets in we will be under a TWO FAMILY rule for 28 years!!!!!! That's only if she doesn't have an 8 year term. We seriously need a change – Obama is that change! I truly agree with "mama 4 obama." I too am a thirty-something, white, single mom who will be voting for Obama . . . if Hillary gets in I will vote McCain!!!!

CNN is a business so they cover Obama more because Obama is more hype than Hillary. Hillary is the working woman type who gets it done and doesn't get much credit and Obama is a lot of talk even if he doesn't show up to vote when he should. He is very inspirational but right now I need reality. We have enough superstars – I want a president.

They want Hillary to take the lead because people like myself and many other Independents would rather vote for McCain or Romney over the Billary Machine. By the time her term is done, Chelsea will be old enough to run and you effing morons who like Hillary will probably vote for her too. Those who support Hillary are the same people that make Americans look like idiots to the rest of the world. It's amazing how many people are still afraid to vote for someone because of the color of their skin. You say that's not the reason, but it doesn't matter what you say. You know deep down it's the truth.

TRUE STORY:

One time while holding up one of Barack's signs during the NH Primary, a man pulled up next to me in his truck, a real redneck. He interrupted a conversation I was having with another volunteer to say that Barack Obama was a terrorist and that he went to school in Pakistan.

This is the same type of narrow mindedness that many Americans have. It's a shame that you people I am speaking of cannot see through the Billary dynasty. It's filled with LIES. It's filled with a FALSE SENSE of hope and change. And you all say that CNN is pressing for Obama? Well let me tell you something. I live in New Hampshire and before the NH Primary all I heard was Hillary, Hillary, Bill, Hillary. They would mention Barack when they wanted to bring up how he picked on her. IT SICKENS ME to hear you ignoramouses now say that CNN is pressing for Obama. Rock on! He deserves it more than any other candidate!

CNN likes Obama because the Clintons own FOX.

hey, those feeing happy about clinton, use your brain! This is just the predicted result. Hillary runs her campaign for years and years, but Obama only started from last year. Time is on his site. That's a good result. and it's the time for a change!!!

Obama lost California due to the lack of Asian and Latino Americans getting past the race issue, it's sad but very obvious.

I wonder if people feel pressured in the caucus states – no secret vote.

maria, im with you as a highly educated black woman voted for Hillary on issues not on race and certainly not because somebody(oprah,ted,kenn clans,and al the news outlets who elevated obama) said i should vote obama.
the blacks have shown their true color and i beleve the latinos and asians are more educated in terms of knowing the difference between talking and actually producing result
obama played the race card and continues to divide our great country along racial lines and to me that is a divider not a uniter.

i am dissappointed in CNN, because they have been my network of choice until now.Hillary claerly has poven that she is tough and on the issues that is troubling our country today
AMERICA VOTE SMART AND VOTE HILLARY

Mrs. Clinton has suffered attack, after attack, after attack it was understandable from the Rightwing they hate her, but she must also fight the misogynistic males of the so-called “Progressive” movement.
Perhaps now it is time to dispel two myths one is that women have achieved fairness and equality in America and number two that “whites” are the perpetuators of racism in America. With 85%+ of the “African American” vote going to Obama the primary is all about race despite your willingness to ignore it.
Perhaps you are not willing to expose this or to perform your due diligence and investigate Mr. Obama’s problematic past and connection and allegiance to a racist anti anyone but “African American” church, the Trinity United Church of Christ in Illinois and that church’s adherence to a racist policy known as “The Black Value System”.
If you think the Republican slime machine will let these things go un-noticed you are dreaming, they are salivating over the prospect of an Obama candidacy so they may crank up the “Angry White Male” right wing vote that carried George H. W. Bush to victory in his election bid.

CNN is so blatantly on the anti-Clinton (anti-woman) bandwagon and is so blatantly obvious. The pictures and the headlines all making Obama look like the inevitable candidate. I hope President Clinton shuts CNN out after she wins office.

If Hillary wins the presidency I'm moving out of the country.

I agree with a lot of people: CNN's coerage is quite anti-Clinton. As someone who will not vote for Clinton I, as a believer in fair elections, find it ridiculous that CNN's "Best Political Team on Television" is so openly biased against her in any form. I think it inspires people to vote for her. People: change the channel!

Love how those delegates and super delegates REALLY pick the front runner and then the electoral college picks the Prez...It really SHOULD BE AS SIMPLE AS THE PEOPLE VOTING AND THAT BEING TALLIED. They have made the voting process so complicated that nobody can even question the win or the loss.

GOOD JOB AMERICA, THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL NOT JUST CHANGE AMERICA, BUT THE WORLD.

The problem around the world now and in America is that Too many division: U are Black, u r White, u r Asian, and forget that we same, we are one, same red blood etc.. and we are looking to the same thing: " HAPPYNESS,LOVE,HEALHT,FREE WORLD FOR OUR KIDS"

Doesnt matter who is the president, but What He/Her Can do for the country and the World? Can He/Her Unite the country?

we dont need experiences to bring people together, no one need experience to understand other, that shud be natural and come from the heart and reflect our talk and life.

BE WISE AMERICA AND GOOD LUCK

Just one thought – Obama is winning big in states that traditionally vote Republican come the fall. I wonder how many votes he received from Republicans in these states – people who will switch back to the GOP in November.

One has to ask what element of tactical voting by Republicans was going on in these primaries?

"Lauren February 6, 2008 12:40 am ET

"There should be real voting in each state, and the elections should be closed to independents! Republicans should vote their party, and Democrats theirs."
___________________________________________________________

What kind of American are you? Seriously, it's ridiculous to suggest Independents shouldn't be allowed to vote"

As a Brit looking on from the outside it would be like non-members of a golf club voting in a election for the Club President – it is a total nonsense. independents should have absolutely no say in any party's election process – they will have a say come November.

Caucuses favour people who shall we say are the most deternmined in voting – the most shrill voters – teh Obama people as we see here. In real votes their voice is drowned out by the real voters – that's why Obama can't make headway in the states that matter.

I used to love CNN until these elections! They are biased and I too question why they offer Obama sooo much coverage and never ask him tough question (I happen to be Black). Why IS his name bolded and Hilary's not. I HATE Fox TV and never considered them Fair and Balanced; however, I now am beginning to watch FOX news more than CNN. How sad. CNN's journalist now create news instead of reporting them, and they try very hard to sway the puplic. Thank God for free thinking Americans who are seeing right through this crap. This is how we got George Bush. Any way, Obama lacks substance people! I hope America will not make the same mistake it has during the last two elections. For those of you who talk about the Clinton dynasty, at least the first 8 years were good for America, so if we get another 8 years of the Clintons it surely cannot be that bad. I am not willing to take a chance on someone without experience. Obama is no JOhn Kennedy nor is he MLK!

Go Hilary!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the comments here breaks my heart. Both of them are great leaders. We dont have to insult nor send a destructive message. They're both doing they're jobs campaigning. Both believes they are better than one another. They will prove it in time. And if mistaken, we'll move on. For now, you guys should debate in good behaviour and diplomatically. Enjoy your days..

People, People, People...we must end this Bush-Clinton-Bush dynasty that has ruled this country for 20 years. Don't be afraid to vote for real leadership, real hope, real change and real progress. A vote for Clinton is simply a vote for 4 to 8 more years of the same old BS. This country needs a real leader. Don't let your fear of change prohibit you from casting a meaningful and impactful vote this year, which a vote for Obama would be. The choice is simple...stay the course (oh my god) or set this country on a new course and begin to repair the damage of the last 8 years. Obama '08!!!

When the media is going to be fair? Why are you so afraid of talking about racism? Obama has won most of the black states, is this not the black people being racist? White people are guilty, they are afraid of people pointing fingers on them being biased, so they vote for Obama. College students are naive, not even close to educated, so they vote for Obama. When is this country going to wake up? I can't vote, becuase I am still waiting for my citizenship. Nevertheless, my head is clear, and I know this country does need a strong leader not only to American people, but to the world.

RISE AMERICA

by: LaVelle Emanuel Jones

Walking down the streets of Beautiful America,
I hear empty voices and loud voices, many filled with
so much hatred, pain, and sorrow, while others cheer
for joy and happiness.

Indivuduals of all backgrounds some wanting to unite,
while others want to bring back the old days,
yes, the confederate flag is still here.

I stand before you all, to say that Obama is the right choice.

Obama can fix everything that has gone bad. I stand before you all to say that America
is a magical place, filled with happiness and love.
But the love is buried deep within ones soul, and I am
here to say:

Rise and do not be afraid to let your voice be heard.

Rise and do not let anyone get you down.

Rise and march to the beautiful beats of your heart.

Rise, Rise, Rise and be free

PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM WITH EVERYONE U KNOW AND CAN, I DEDICATED MY POEM TO THE OBAMA MOVEMENT, YES WE CAN!

I can't believe hom stupid americans are. If Hillary becomes president it will truely be the end of the usa. We need change only 2 families have been charge of america for 20 years. Surely everyone can see that Hillary is pure evil.......

HILLARY!!

Of course HILLARY!!

The presidend READY FOR DAY ONE!!

The trusted person to bring US BACK TO TRACK!!

If you don't wanna bet the future of this country on a blackjack table, GET THE RELIABLE ONE!!

GOOD JOB BARACK!!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

Barack Obama won a clear majority of the Super Tuesday states...

In the closest thing to a national primary we’ve ever seen, Barack Obama overcame double-digit leads by Senator Clinton in 8 of the largest 10 states to win a majority of states, defeating Senator Clinton 13-8 – with New Mexico still undeclared.
Obama also won Red States by a margin of more than two-to-one and leads Senator Clinton by nearly 50 delegates going into California.
Obama won his home state by 67 delegates (110-43; 153 total). Clinton won her home state by 52 delegates (142-90; 232 total). Among home states, Obama won a net delegate margin of 15. That’s a good number – but even more impressive when you consider that New York had 79 more delegates up for grabs than Illinois.
Barack Obama performed especially well in those states he visited in recent weeks, including Minnesota, Utah, Idaho, Delaware, and Connecticut. He also won his home state by 67 delegates, 15 more than Senator Clinton won her home state of New York by. This is further proof that the more voters get to know Barack Obama and hear his message, the more they support him. And this bodes well for the contests coming in the next few weeks, where Obama will have more time to campaign aggressively in individual states.
Of the seven caucus states that were decided tonight, Obama won six (New Mexico is still undeclared). Caucuses test the enthusiasm of supporters in a way that primaries do not. And Obama’s near-sweep of these contests shows why he’s the candidate who’s generating the most excitement in this race and bringing new people into politics for the first time.
Barack Obama won the support of Americans of every race and gender in every region of the country. From Hillary Clinton’s backyard in Connecticut to Georgia, where Obama won nearly 40% of the white vote and eliminated the gender gap by winning 64% of the women’s vote, Obama demonstrated that he’s the one candidate who can transform the electoral map. That’s why he is the Democrat who’s most likely to win in November.

EVERY DAY THE OBAMA TRAIN IS GROWING LONGER AND STRONGER.

YOU CAN`T STOP IT!!!

IF YOU SEE A GOOD FIGHT GET IN IT:

OBAMA NEEDS YOU!!!

Thank Good God America has finally find her groove back.Barack Obama the next preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiident of United state of America.

Thank God Californians New York and other States could see the forest for the trees! Maybe there's hope for our economy and foreign affairs,education and health care. We know the republicans don"t have a hope in h.... of getting in the White House for at least four years after what Bush has done and is still doing to us but that is not a good enough reason to vote for a man that thinks he can use John F kennedy and Martin Luther kings Civil Rights movement to get elected. Bill Clinton had it right when he shook his finger at the media and said shame on you.And it is about race and gender. It always was. It took Bill Clinton to say what alot of us thought . Past vrs. Future? You have to look at the past to plan a future. We all know that. JFK and MLK are part of our past that made it possible for a black man to run in the 2008 election. It is 2008 and we are in trouble everywhere. "We might have set backs and make mistakes"!! Is that what we want? We have had seven years of mistakes and set backs. The first four yearsof Bush we can blame on the Sup.Court but tthe next four years we did and have to suck it up. Obama has not said anything to make me think that we should shoot ourselves in the foot again. I think Hillary Clinton has the know how and back ground to pull us out of the quagmire we are in.

I would leave to Republican Party to come over and vote for Obama. We need someone new and invigorating like him. However, if Hillary, wins the Democratic nomination, I'll stay and vote for McCain.

In closing, deep down inside of me, "Go Obama"!!!!

I think its turning out to be very interesting how the power hungry are now seeking for shelter, the invisible is shattered and there now lies a lot of hope for America. It's Obama Time. Get to terms with it. I feel it in the air. Come November, its done. Americans aren't so bad after all. I now think they are bright. Not fascinated with vanity. Its in such moments that I identify. Go People. Make me proud. Thanks for the brevity and standing up against veiled injustice. Finally we see through the Clinton's scrupulous hidden motives.

How many of us thought Obama would be this strong a year ago. How many of us even took him seriously. Momentum is an amazing thing. Hopefully, the general won't reflect bias disclosed only in the voting booth. He is an amazing man that has that "thing" that will help unite the divided. Tragedies, such as 911 should not be the common ground for unity. Remember, you defeat the odds "as one".

"I am a white, educated, 38 year-old woman and have never had the opportuniuty to vote in an election when a Bush or Clinton was NOT on the ballot. I'm a proud supporter of the Obama presidential campaign. Obama 08… it's time for change!"

Wow, I've seen this same paragraph posted numerous times on the internet (maybe without the typos though) and it was read on CNN the other night as part of the Cafferty file...

I'm a white, educated, 41 year old woman who as a new citizen has never had the opportunity to vote in a US election at all. I want a change too – I want a president who can actually accomplish something, think for themselves, and has concrete workable ideas instead of platitudes. HIllary's gots my vote. If Barrack somehow manages to steal the nomination I'm voting for McCain. Eloquence is great but leadership is better. BTW, Barrack did NOT vote against the war – he wasn't even a senator then.

Smell a rat on OBAMA wins in Caucus States. Maybe similar" REZKO "EPISODE ?

I have to respond to this:
Jose Card – Independent February 6, 2008 1:58 am ET

Women's tears work wonder for Latinos.
Hillary speaks the language of tears.

Asians just love Hillary.
Only the Clintons know why the Chinese just love to give them money every day if possible.

--------------
I am Chinese, I would love to vote for Hillary but unfortunately GOP's tax cut appeals more to me. But a lot of my chinese fellows do support Hillary because they believe that Hillary can bring this country back to a wealthy one. Also most of us are working in the high-tech coporations and universities. Hillary besides Mitt Romney are the best candidates who supports science and technology. We want a wealthy America. Simple is that.

to tell you the truth, many chinese want Obama to win so that the country's economic and military resourses can be wasted. So that China can replace the U.S. as the world's No.1.

Because OBAMA won more states than HILLARY doesn't mean a thing. Who did most of the people vote for. That is why she has more delegates. Face facts OBAMA is not ready for the White House or HILLARY. She is too much woman for him to outsmart with his I didn't vote for the war. He's right. He didn't vote for anything. GO HILLARY

I also feel with some commentators that the CNN coverage is the most biased towards one candidate, Barak Obama, then I have ever seen before. They have joined the love fest, dazzled by the "star" power of the likes of Oprah, Caroline and Ted Kennedy, etc.

It's sad, as I have always enjoyed and spoke about CNN's ability to be impartial. Not any more.

Most of the states that Senator Obama won were Republican states that are certain to vote for the Republican nominee in the National Race. What is that all about…??? Does Not Count…that's what that means…
So even with the media and Oprah against her…Senator Clinton came through.
Point and Fact.
Americans should respond to this media bias and write the CEO's of CNN and the other bias and subjective news channels that spew negative commentaries to promote Senator Obama.

The Center for Media and Public Affairs reports this bias and subjectiveness, go to their website and send the results to these news network CEO's and if we continue to see this bias media coverage, notify your congressman or senator…SO WE CAN DEMMAND FAIR AND OBJECTIVE MEDIA COVERAGE AND REPORTING

Obama's liberal ideologies do not stand a chance against the GOP political machine; thus every state he won tonight would be lost in a general election.

We need to fight for a democratic Presidency and Hillary is the only one who will make this happen in the November Election. Lets get real and examine the real truth. Maybe Rush will campaign with us as he basically endorsed Hillary today.

Obama I will have to tell you this You" Smart Guy" but you got fooled by Ted Kennedy, His not Campaigning for you he is fighting to keep the Kennedy "Dynasty " to be more superior than the Clintons.

Americans are smarter than they look thats why we are # 1

We ask what we can do for our country before what our country can do for us. thats why we are electing Mrs. Clinton and you and Opra can join to make America a better Country.

Oh Opra Clinton is the "First Lady" in America today not even Laura Bush, you are not even the third influencial women in America so don't hate her just because you have more money but no power. After Michelle Obama and sombody else then the Amrican people count you as one of the Influencial American women

God Bless America

CNN Watch The Daily Show for a fair and balanced news

keep it up Jon Stewart oh and Steven

O M

Senator Clinton's name was on the ballot in Florida because as an American citizen who lives in Florida I had the right to vote in my primary election.

Of course I voted for Sen. Obama, unfortunately Sen. Clinton did her initial campaigning here prior to our Republican controlled Legislature moving the primary date up and she ended up carrying this great State..

If one looks at the overall turnout of this primary, it seems apparent the come November, no matter if the Democratic nominee is Sen Clinton or Sen. Obama there will be a Democrat in the White House come Jan. '09

Democrats are turning out at a rate of more than 2 to 1 for this vote and it's only the primary. Wait until the General Election.

I keep hearing CHANGE from Obama, which sounds great, but I never hear HOW he plans to make change. Does he remember how our goverment works? Most change is made in Congress, which he is already part of, why hasn't he made Change while in Congress? Answer, he hasn't & he won't do anything as President, but it sounds good to his followers & the media.

Nadia Smalkowski unlike the younger generation who does not let people change their minds so easily you are just small-minded. If you had of listened to Obama's speaches with more understanding it has plenty of substance, unlike Hilary who beats around the bush.

Obama rocks! Clinton – yesterday's news. She couldn't or wouldn't get a national health care system like most of the industrialized worlds. She voted for the Iraq attack. And she did nothing when her hubby brought in the "welfare reforms."

She's also boring when she speaks. Almost puts me to sleep. Sure I'd pick her over the repug candidate, but I'm not sure others will.

Obama is the second coming of Kennedy. He can restore America's image around the world and give Americans at home hope.

OBAMA!

Watching America from Europe it is nice to see that the american people have chosen to think instead of shooting and waving the flag only.
We are glad to welcome America back in the community of peaceful states soon and not in the axis of evil...

GO America!

Women's tears work wonder for Latinos.
Hillary speaks the language of tears.

Asians just love Hillary.
Only the Clintons know why the Chinese just love to give them money every day if possible.

McCain has been looking forward to running against Hillary for a long time.
If Hillary does win the nomination, he will have a grand time.

Barack Obama

Having watched Obama's speech from Chicago on Super Tuesday, I have to say that he is little more than an evangelist i.e. a Rah Rah man offering promises that he can't possible deliver in the presidential time frame.

I can't believe that the US public is so gullible.

I sensed that Lew Dobbs saw him that way also.

I am a Canadian from Calgary and have been watching CNN all eavening and now it is 11:30 at night. I think CNN did very good job of the politic coverage. I perdict that America wil have a first Black President. GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!!!

Hey. Did you guys know ZOLGBY had Obama by 11 percent today in california?

I am sure on realclearpolitics.com they will RIP THE POLL off the website fast.

pyschological warfare anyone?

I have to know how the votes Clinton got in Michigan and Florida will be considered fair when she unfairly left her name on the ballot. It was if she was tipping around in the dark being under-handed. Clinton is constantly talking about all the accomplishments she made while in the White House (I did not know she was president) ha ha

B Cali...this country was founded on Immigrants need you forget. Don't get angry at immigrants for the foolish decisions that have been made by others in authority.

"cacauses take a lot of time"

no they dont, they take about an hour, i participated in lots of them and if u cant take an hour out of every 4 years to support a candidate then you shouldnt vote period

Good.
From CNN, It Looks like Obama is going to beat Republicans in these south states, how wonderful.
Never care about FL, NJ, or CA, why should those states matter now that we have south?

Yeah when Barack says...."it is our time." to Thousands of White people..he really is being racist. Lets stop making it a race thing. Why do people always have to make it a race thing...he is a human just like every other candidate. When Hillary say "we" can change american she is being sexist and no one says she is being sexist. But when somthingcomes out of Barack's mouth it is analyzed to the 5th degree.

Wake up america.....we are americans....Americans!!!

Mama-4 -O that is your choice. This still is a free country.

what the "ticker" is telling you is that obama wins in states that will not carry an election...get it????

This 30-something, white, Republican mother of three wants some new blood in the White House & that's why I support Obama. However, if it comes down to Hillary vs the GOP, I will vote Republican. I will not go backward!

CHRISTINA – I'm old enough to have lived through Bush-Clinton-Bush as an adult. It's time for a change. I've known Barak for 8 years. The man has an exceptional almost supernatural ability to bring enemies together and successfully work solutions to huge seemingly insurmountable difficulties. He is also man of honor and reason and he loves this country like no one I've ever met. And that is saying alot because I'm military over 1/2 of my life. It's astounding to me why people are so afraid of Obama becoming President after the 8 years the world has endured under the Bush Administration. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

Why be so afraid? Do you think the"terrorists" will take over the world if he's President? If so, I'll submit a certain incident where an Afro-American was able to get hostages released from Arab captors white a white WASP President couldn't. A black President would do wonders in the Middle East where a white-Euro-American will never be able.

Besides, Christina we don't elect kings for life! We elected President for four year terms. Don't be fearful. Be a brave American. We need more brave Americans to take this country forward and not backward.

two sloppy arguments:

1) "Hilary won the Democratic strongholds...the states that mattered".
- This is particularly odd given that any democratic candidate will probably take those during the presidential election. The states that "matter" are obviously swing states.

2) "you have predicted Obama to win it all"
- This is intellectual dishonest or simply myopic. Clinton was ahead nationally by an average of 20 points until January. Even then, she was ahead in most states by ~10 points as recently as a week or more ago. So for Obama to match her performance tonight vastly exceeds any kind of expectations based on the vast majority of the primary (it could only be reasonably predicted by his surge in support over the past two weeks).

I know there a lot of people looking to justify their candidate but considering the broader political context (see the two points above) will provide much better insight into how these candidates will fair over the next few primaries and into the general election.

George, I so hope you are right and I can't wait for that day!!!

Maria:

I have been in this state since 1941. I have seen what immigrants and illegal aliens have done to undermine the work of hard working people and taxpayers.

Don't tell me that I am wrong, because I have seen this beautiful state "raped & pillaged" by the greed of the liberals in Washington DC!

I have not had my head in the sand and that is why I made the statement I did....take a look at the mess it is in today ......everyone who does not want to work lives here on welfare, and now the government is going to give tax subsidys to the illegals, just like they have been here and paid their dues...what a sickening mess that is!

The note about Obama winning ALL of the caucus states, which are run by the most liberal party activists, is very telling. Iowa was a caucus state. Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, Idaho, Minnesota and Alaska - ALL caucus states and ALL Obama wins. Makes you wonder what would have happened had they each held a primary instead...

I have to say that I am thrilled with all of his wins thusfar, but California.... I must say it is sad that I can't vote for her. I don't believe everything she says. I feel that this is a time that we all want and truly feel that we NEED change. I hope he takes it or at least stays close in terms of delegates. I think his speeches are fabulously delivered and extremely inspirational.

I find it curious that none of the analysts so far have mentioned how Sen. Obama has done better in the States he came in second in than Sen. Clinton has in the States she came in second in.

Sen. Obama has truly trounced Sen. Clinton in the States he won, whereas she seemed to have only squeaked out victories in States other than NY and AR.

Now HIllary needs to start cheating

Somehow she will get the florida votes to count and Michigan

even though we all know

If they voted there now OBAMA would win !!!!

I am wondering how they can put Clinton as the winner of California when only 15% of the precincts were in. If this question could be put forward where some one would respond on the air I would really appreciate it.

Thank You

Hillary will not be the next president of the United States.

McCain will wipe the floor with her in a general election.

There is alot of time left to decide the democratic nominee, and remember the more time Obama has with people the more they gravitate toward him.

As a Obama supporter I am not worried at all after tonight, Obama will win the democratic nomination then it will be Obama vs McCain which should be very interesting.

Look at all the Obama bashers!

It is Hillary who was crowned before the people had a say! ALL the polls since last year gave a no contest victory to Hillary! Now that we have a real contest some of you start bellyaching about the fairness of CNN.

Christina,

Obama voted to fund the WAR because our TROOPS are in harms WAY! Would you like him to vote not to fund our men! YES he was not in the Senate when the vote occured but he did not support the war at ALL unlike Hillary who voted for the war because the national sentiment was leaning for the war based on the 'evidence' that was laid out by the Bush Administration.

GO OBAMA 08! My check is in the mail!

For Lauren...

Rarely do I comment on personal remarks of other bloggers. However, your response to my comment deserves another round.

Unless I missed something, tonight was about the Democratic and Republican parties selecting their candidates for President, and apportioning delegates. If someone wants to register as an independent, they can wait for the general election; or start their own party.

Why should Republicans or independents be selecting candidates for the Democratic Party?

Anyone got an answer that makes two pennies worth of sense?

From a Hispanic, educated woman who does believe in inspiration and to add experience that the individual who would "inspire" my beliefs and principles should have, Hillary fits that bill perfectly.

I want to like Michelle. I really do. I just cannot and the media is why. They give her free reign to say what she desires with no criticism...I agree, President Clinton I deserves more scrutiny, but no scrutiny to a some is a different topic. Remember Theresa Heinz Kerry? She received much media bias and she provided a lot in charitable help (Michelle could as well, just stating what I know as a native Pittsburgher to where Theresa helped). My point, Theresa received slaps in the face, Michelle can say ANYTHING. Please be fair CNN. Don't fall victim like everyone else...Michelle, prove me wrong.

Opportunity for change is knocking and Obama isn't just opening the door he is taking the hinges off ! ! ! AMEN !

love in the us – AGREED! It seems to be an easy "out" for those who lack a real stance on concrete issues.

Educate yourself on the issues then educate yourself on not only how each participant voted by their reasons why. Then and only then can you truly make an educated vote. Don't let CNN or Fox News or anyone else, for that matter, influence your decision. If you do, then you are no better than mindless sheep following a herd.

Obama 08 ... Change looks so good!

signed: a white, educated woman who realizes an inspiration in the making!

No...No....No...and a big No! Hillary has her wins and Barack has her wins....but is it that which matters...Nay, what matters is what America is really voting for. Whether we are voting to give authority to people that will make our life better or worse....So do not bad mouth CNN, Obama, or Hillary because ultimately we the voters get to decide, and what we decide in this election will determine where our country goes. But i have to say that some comments are stupid, i figured some Hillary supporters should stop watching Obama too much. I've seen Hillary almost everywhere Obama is implicated. or vice-versa.......CNN is the best channel for News. The problem is that news do not occur as we expect, so we can't blame CNN for reporting them as the come or even so bother them with fighting to balance news. That should be at our discretion.

For all you FOOLS who think Obama winning these southern states is great. TAKE A LOOK AT A MAP OF THE 2000 AND 2004 ELECTIONS.

All these miniscule delgate count states Obama is winning all go republican in the election. They always do

For everyone who thinks Obama pulling off an upset in these minsicule electorial states is great. Think again.

The BIG graddaddy states are FLORIDA AND OHIO.

Clinton smoked Obama in Florida, and the Ohio govenor is supporting clinton. Same with the pensylvania govenor.

I do not understand how on CNN they can put out a prediction naming Clinton as the winner in California with only 16% of the precincts turned in.

Obama reminds me of the Pied Piper, hope it doesn't end the same way. Gotta have more substance.

Alaska is called for Obama! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

Hillary for change? Give me a break. Her politics are as old as the hills and she plays right into the hands of Washington. Nothing she has done proves otherwise.
Go Obama! Gonna win 13-14 states tonight. I think that is the real number.

I'm a Texas Republican, going for OBAMA! Sad to say if Hillary gets it, I'll have to go Republican. Whoever says that it is not right to change is an idiot. It is my right!

Hello! Is Anyone Seeing The Truth!

I am a citizen of the USA. I had to vote "Provisional" today because my name
was not on the list. The Provisional vote means I have no vote. Guess what?
I live in Venice Ca. I have worked my polling place for several years. The
last election I was not paid so I felt my vote would be enough. Today I went from angry to tears. All those who voted
provisional thought their vote counted today, not only if the race was close and contested. Let's honor their belief. PLEASE CHECK
THE # OF PROVISIONAL VOTES...not counted, check the %. I visited 4 polling
places. THE PERCENTAGE IS HUGE. I contest this vote. Will YOU check this out.
I feel stripped of my greatest right, MY RIGHT TO VOTE! Did Clinton win Ca.? I think not. Thank you. Louise Brew. louiesunshine@mac.com.

The real story is Hillary won the Democratic strongholds. Obama mostly won states that the Dems will not win the General.

Hillary won the states that mattered. This also shows celebrity endorsements don't matter. Oprah and the Kennedys can find something else to do now.

William – how can Obama heal this country when his speech was filled with negativity and anger this evening? I'm not convinced he's the healer everyone things he is. He's a great orator. I'll give him that. But there's a big difference in healing and speaking well.

To B-California – you say that the non-English speaking candidates pushed the Hill to victory and you were irritated by it? Yet you're supporting a candidate who wants to give driver's licenses to those who aren't "official." I'm really confused. Based on your comment, no English-speaking white folks voted for Hillary? Is that what you're saying? Did you do an exit poll of your own? How do you know this?

It's all about Delagates at the end...

Clinton is just awful...I am amazed at how many Americans support her...the rest of the world holds it's breath that Americans won't give us another Bush/Clinton Presidency from hell...please God, spare us!! Maybe it's an American thing to pick the worst person possible to lead them into war and economic oblivion...

Okay, time for the tough questions, Senator Obama. You say you didn't vote for the war, but you voted twice to fund it. What the heck was that about? Was that not supporting the war? Was that not giving Bush a blank check? When will someone finally ask him this question??? Fair is fair. Let's get tough on this guy. He's getting off WAY too easy!

You are hearing more about Obama because up until maybe 2 weeks ago, Obama was supposed to be dead and buried today. But, even after being trounced in California, he'll only be 60 – 80 odd delegates behind. Couple that with his fast growing support, attractiveness to superdelegates because of his crossover appeal, and Hillary's ability to polarize anything, the fact that he kept up with her is worrying news for the Hillary camp.

One thing most of you are not understanding and that is that many of the states that Obama has won are caucuses, not primaries with only a very small number of people voting. Also most of those states NEVER vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election and they won't do that now either, especially with a black or a woman running. Hillary is stronger in most of the states that count and the Democrats need to win in the November election.

GO HILLARY 2008

Brandy – You misread the article. It said Obama does better in the caucus states, not Clinton. Before you go off on a Clinton-bashing, make sure you've read the details. Too bad the general election can't be a caucus, huh?

California Baby! Looks like Latino and Asians don't like Obamama!

Absentee Ballots = California Victory for Hillary........

Looks like we're going to have a woman president, frowny face, Hillary just took Cali

The agent of change is winning or ahead in 13 out of 22 states so far in Super Tuesday against the not too long ago "inevitable" candiate- he's got something going for him. Give Obama the credit he deserves!!

THE SAME WHITE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR OBAMA TODAY .. WILL VOTE FOR MCAIN IN NOVEMBER IF OBAMA GET THE NOMINATION

"There should be real voting in each state, and the elections should be closed to independents! Republicans should vote their party, and Democrats theirs."
___________________________________________________________

What kind of American are you? Seriously, it's ridiculous to suggest Independents shouldn't be allowed to vote. Especially considering the quickly growing percentage of Americans who are registered Independent–would you have up 40 percent of the American people not participate in the election?

Quit it with the sour grapes. Obama won the red states because he appeals to Independents and Republicans... instead of crying foul, maybe you should think about WHY he appeals to ALL Americans, and not just those who register Democrat.

Either Obama or Clinton. For both are victory of our democracy.

The Interesting thing to note here folks is that the states where Obama has won, traditionally sway Republican in the General Election, the states where she has won traditionally sway Democrat in the General Election....this should be an unmistakable Victory for Clinton in the who is more electable argument in the general election.

He was defeated by double digits in almost all of the states that have carried the Democrats in the General Election

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

Kansas (next door) is the most conservative state on the planet and they caucused 75% for Obama. No one can call them liberal. Even the Democrats there are not liberal. It's farm country and very rural.

On the bright side – looks like Obama has taken 13 of the 22 states.

Again – Obama 13 states – Hilary 9 states. That's the real story!

Let the race begin!

I agree with Brian 100%

Perhaps more relevant than who shows up is WHEN people get to vote and maybe how secret their vote is.

Florida was effectively a tie on the day of the primary: Clinton won the beauty contest there on her huge absentee/early advantage. California is getting the same thing: a lot of early votes and they will skew for Clinton. One cannot go to a caucus 3 weeks ahead of time on paper.

There may be some of the Wilder Effect operating in primary states that doesn't play out in caucuses where one's vote is (usually) explicitly public to the other caucusers.

OBAMA is a joke. He says he didn't vote for the war. He's right, he just plain didn't vote. He never votes. Maybe this is the change he is talking about. Too bad, how sad, OBAMA watch HILLARY's dust on her way to the White House. Don't despair. You can always tell your grandchildren I ran for President of the United States some day.

My family has voted Democrats since they arrived here in the 1800's. Even with our proud heritage and long voting record, I could never vote for Barak Obama. I happen to work for one of the evil corporations Obama keeps complaining about. Corporations employee millions of union members, and those union members know without that corporation their salaries wouldn't be close to what they were.

Also–what is this that Obama has never taken money from a lobbyist? I bet if you went back through all the people who have given him money, someone who is a lobbyist has to have given him something. Any union leaders given him something? What about other special interests? Without lobbyists to help explain the impact of a law on their particular interest groups, our legislators would be completely clueless. Why doesn't that ever get reported?

B Cali- get a life...Hillary is not Liberal or Conservative...she is a Democrat with a mission to win and ultimately repair the damage this country has had to endure the last 7 years. Si Se Puede... for the one who thinks there is a conspiracy with minorities out to get him/ her.

I've always thought caucuses were more disenfranchising to voters. I work from late afternoon until the very early morning hours. This would make it very hard for me to be able to participate, unless they happened to hold one on one of my days off. There are a lot of people like me that probably would want to participate, but just find it impossible because of scheduling conflicts. These are the kinds of people who are much better represented with absentee ballots and actually polling locations open throughout the day. I also see this as being very hard for people with physical limitations (this would be me at the moment with a broken ankle and shin, who cannot drive for at least six more weeks when the cast comes off and probably longer still). It would be very hard for people with health problems to stand or sit around in cramped, noisy, stuffy rooms for hours at a time, let alone being able to get there and back. I think caucuses have the distinction of suppression voters as opposed to getting people more actively involved.

DISCLAIMER: My opinion on caucuses has nothing to do with who actually won them or not. Congratulations to Obama.

CNN AND THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE MAD BECAUSE HILLARY WON CALIFORNIA GOOOO GIRL!! WE WONT THE BEST STATES !

Any Democrat who says they vote Republican if Hillary is the candidate is guilty of making her unelectable. If your party majority wants her, then you should accept the majority rule of vote, and give the White House to the Dems. The House and Senate NEED a Democratic White House to get things done in this country!!

Don't be too sure that Republicans won't vote for Hillary after what their party did to America the last 8 years.

What really annoys me about all these Hilary supporters is how myopic you guys are. Hillary has been running for president for ever. rememebr she was the inevitable nominee as of a year ago. She was up in the national polls by 20%. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO WIN IT ALL. But that lead is almost non existent and Sen Obama is surging. What the Clinton camp was not prepared for was a challenger that people actually believed in. In any event, it does not matter, Sen Obama won big in places where no one gave him a chance. It was not just the black votes, it was everyone voting for him. YES WE CAN

Obama is the person the United Sates needs right now. The USA needs healing and he can get it done. What I am afraid of is he speaks the same message other great American leaders spoke of that are no longer with us. i.e. JFK, RFK, MLK. I hope to God that some freak of nature, Anti-American idiot can't get through security. If nominated and elected he will be a President of the people and that is what the USA needs very, very badly.

Come on people, why get upset that Obama won a couple of states. The delegte count is what matters. And please don't start the race thing up. There is no race card Eric it sounds like you're trying to pull one out. . I like Hillary and Obama but Im not voting for the Clinton-Bush dynasty they had there chance for over 20 years in Washington we can't afford to have racial divide stop us from making progress don't be such an closed minded person.

Alot of the states Obama won in the south will not vote democrat in the general election. It's like McCain winning NY...big deal.

True change must take place by means of each of us taking action in our society. Each of us must find an issue we hold close to our hearts and take hold of it. Barack Obama is a great catalyst of change and hope for our country.

Does anybody else think Obama made a mistake by stepping on McCain's victory speech? I suspect it was some of his rookie campaign staff who thought it would be really cleverl to do that. Throughout the campaign, I've thought Obama's top campaign staff seems pretty savvy, but his mid-level and volunteer people come across as arrogant and amateurish.

Seriously...Obama needs to REJECT racism, being the great evil that it is, and really go after our white-based political machinery. And the REPUBLICAN racists who HATE (and I mean the word in its full intensity HATE) him, they can try PSILOCYBIN and then they will not be able to tell one candidate from another, or will see lots of candidates lol.

Dear CNN,

Your coverage of today's voting has been disgraceful. I have watched all day as pictures of Barack Obama have graced your main web site and as headlines such as "Obama Wins Multiple Primary States" have given the impression that Obama is carrying the day. Things such as this, even as you report–in smaller letters and on the Political Ticker–that Clinton was winning the same number of states, or more.

I find it hard to believe that you are unable to offer fairer coverage of the day's events. I find it hard to believe that all the people posting here and elsewhere–accusing you in bias of your coverage, are wrong.

I find it absolutely despicable that you have gone beyond any true sense of "reporting" the news and now attempt to influence one of the nation's most important elections via biased coverage.

I am not alone in this sentiment; you are welcome to read the blogs and/or check the coverage yourself.

Therefore, I am changing my Internet Explorer home page today and will no longer be getting my news from "the most trusted name in the business." That claim–quite simply–is absolutely ridiculous. This election has tarnished CNN's name forever in my book.

I am a white, educated, 38 year-old woman and have never had the opportuniuty to vote in an election when a Bush or Clinton was NOT on the ballot. I'm a proud supporter of the Obama presidential campaign. Obama 08... it's time for change!

Quit thinking that 'our time has come' is racist. As a white, young woman it means that the time has come for all Americans, of all races and gender, TO CHANGE THIS COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER FOR ALL OF US. He is the combo of JFK and MLK and you will see soon that this is exactly what this country means and needs. Racist people please go away, we are not about this at all.

GET ON THE TRAIN COMING TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU!!

ACTUALLY jOE I READ QUITE A BIT...i DON'T THINK I'm missing much other that CNN bias.

i wont to know how a any winner can projected before all the early ballots are counted and all voting area report. and when you anounce the real results after the mailed in and early votes are counted can we count on the entire count to be given in the news.
thank you but i really wish you would not project winners, it like making a guess.

If, and I say if, she wins CA, it will be because of the absentee votes which were cast weeks ago. He will win overall !!! She really suucked in her speech tonight, it was obvious. She can't handle the loss. Look for things to completely change tomorrow, she will no longer be his 'friend'. Just wait.
But, he willl prevail because we, AMERICANS, know the difference.

deMontferrand, I don't know you, but I do not like your racial remark at all. I have no problem with pigment variation of our future leader at all.

Wow...what a race...People got out and stood up...I think it's great....with all the huge endorsments for Obama...Hillary still hung in there...may not be the best speaker...but, she get's the job done!
Congrats to Obama for his states!...it's still a fight!!!

CA and MA despite all the endorsements...

YES SHE CAN!!!!

Well, most of us Californians do not like the numbers projected here, which show that the minoritys who are not english speaking, nor born here, nor legal, are the ones who pushed Hillary to a win in this state..

I am disappointed to say the least. I am disappointed because, I, like most of the people in this state that pay taxes and work, and are 8th or 9th generation in this country from Europe, feel like our state has betrayed us by voting for a woman because she is a woman.

Hillary Clinton has proved again and again that she has one goal, that is to give this country to the "highest bidder" and the people are too blind to see it. I for one, am going to see if there is somewhere else on this globe I can live where I don't have to have the balance of my God-given rights taken away from me by liberal and "mannish" women. Thanks for nothing, all you liberals!

I was in Iowa and Nevada for thier "caucus" it was a joke...not for Hillary or Barak but it was a travasty to the election process. Caucuses need to end now...so demoralizing to the voter.

What no headline about Hillary's win in California. Everyone else has called it. Come on CNN, did you not have the graphics ready, just erase Obama's name and insert Clinton....

Yes she can and yes she did..

Hillary 08

Quit thinking that 'our time has come' is racist.

GET ON THE TRAIN COMING TO A COUNTRY NEAR YOU!!

Both CBS & MSNBC are giving CA for Hillary Clinton. CNN is still sleeping in the dreams of Obama.:)

CNN continues there biased coverage... Go Hillary ... California, the Nomination, and the Presidency is yours. Lets keep up the tremendous ground game folks. Some hard work and faith, then we will have it all!!!!

Meanwhile she lost big chunks of the south and midwest, which the democrats will need if they want to win the election.

October 11,2002 A joint resolutin to authorize the use of United states armed troopsagainst Iraq (H.j. RES. 114)

OBAMA KEEPS SAYING HE DID NOT VOTE FOR THE WAR. THIS IS TRUE,HE WAS NOT IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE UNTIL JANUARY 3, 2005.
So why does he take such joy in saying he did not vote for the war. He was not a member of the U. S. Senate and could not vote.
I wonder how he would have voted if he was a senator?
Hindsight is better than foresight.

obama is talking to a race hes talking to you and me and the entire country.. wake up please!

I agree–it really does seem like CNN favors Obama.

What is wrong with just reporting the news ? CNN trying to be politically-correct again.... it is not democracy when somebody trying to be more equal. that is why afro-american will nevel lead my country

READ THE PAPER MARIA. FLORIDA GETS NO DELEGATES. GO OBAMA 08

I don't think I have seen anything as funny as a CNN pundit saying that the people won't have a candidate crammed down their throats. Hardy! Har! Har!

The popular vote is tied. If the delegates are split in the states by %, (that's a huge IF), Obama will come out slightly ahead in delgates.

CNN's projection was always.... Obama would win. It wouldn't have mattered what delegates she received or the amount of popular vote.

HILLARY WINS CALIFORNIA......

Now that change I like...

Go Hillary

Why is CNN reporting the results by putting "Obama" in bold and "Clinton" not bolded, no matter who is the winner in the given state?

Have you given up on any pretense of fair reporting?

This is ridiculous.

Memories of Iowa...

Caucuses should be outlawed! They are not an election, and do not truly represent what the voters of a given state want. There should be real voting in each state, and the elections should be closed to independents! Republicans should vote their party, and Democrats theirs.

The fairy tale continues, it is still being done with smoke and mirrors to make Obama look good.

We need a real President, not a cheerleader or talk show host.

CLINTON '08

Alot of promises In his last speech! I really thought he was a man of action not the stereotypical politician. Obama's speech sounded like Walgreens commercial. wouldn't be nice!

ABC projects Hillary wins California!!! Shame on you CNN – you are totally Obama biased.

No crying here...just the facts mam...or sir!

I don't know how you feel. Obama makes me feel proud being an American. His speech is the first ever that brings tears to my eyes. I am all for him now. Go Obama go!

Well, it just means he carries southern states and caucus states. That doesn't sound like general support at all. Plus, that's not how the vast majority of the country/elections work.

Barack has taken the lead in MO !!! Just call it CNN. Just call it.

stop saying why CNN favors Obama... if you like a different candidate and don't like to hear from Obama, then don't read Obama related news... go watch foxnews, they like her... they really want clinton to be the nominee.

What did he Obama mean in his speech tonight when he said, "Our
time has come, our movement has come?" Is he using the RACE card????? Hopefully CNN picks up on this!

Come on. Hillary is running a great race today. All you hear on CNN is how fantastic Obama is doing...KING OBAMA...yada yada yada. I'm sick of it. HIllary is winning some key races tonight and I really wish CNN would maybe show HER PICTURE with some of the golden checks next to her name!!!! If Obama wins the nom...I will take my pen to the polls and I will WRITE IN CLINTON!! end of story.

CNN doesn't want to report on Hillary's huge wins in New York, New Jersey or the other Delegate rich states.

They also don't want to report Hillary's turnover of Red States.

i remember a few people crying because CNN had not predicted Clinton to win MO about 30 minutes ago and said that CNN was being biased, now what do you think ?

GO obama, he just took MO, GO OBama!!

Believed or not race is not the issue..It's up to the readers? I however feel that CNN has tilted it's coverage towards Barak. Fair where is it... and why? You tell me CNN. Shame on you... wonder why some people don't trust the media??

NBC has called Minnesota for Obama.

Obama doesn't win in caucus states more so because they attract the most liberal people .... they attract them because most people just do not have the time.

Caucusing takes a lot of time out of an evening. If you work nights – it is difficult ... if you have childcare or other factors that keeps you from caucusing in groups at a specific time ... if you are elderly (Clinton's prime group) ... handicapped .... you wont go caucus but you will show up to all day simple, push a button primary button.

I think every state needs to go regular primaries. They are more accessible to more voters. They don't require more than 10 minutes of your time – depending on the line. They are more ready for handicap accessibility. The elderly are more like to show up. They want to hem-saw around and debate about politics. They just want to vote.

She won her "home state" by a 57-40 split.... not convincing is it?

So far you have predicted Obama to win it all...how about some cudos to the WOMAN who has actually won the most significant states...she is leading in CA per you estimations...how bais can you get???!!! Wher are these numbers in your LATEST news?

Meanwhile Clinton runs well on states that matter in the Presidential election. Florida, New York, and I predict California.

Why does it appear that CNN favors the Obama campaign?

watching Mizzou like crazy....... that race is close as heck!
