CNN

Wolf Blitzer:

You are and all the media are giving hours and hours of free publicity to Senador Obama.
CNN does not give much time Senador Clinton.
Why all that favoritism?

Hey wolf, great job at CNN,
I am an Obama supporter and i was wondering if you know what happens to delegated awarded to people who've dropped out of the race, for instance would Huckabee be able to count on some of the delegates awarded to Romney?

What I would like to know is HOW IN THE WORLD CAN you predict a winner in any state............... 5 minutes after the polls close ? These exit predictions that you all make are crazy... LET THE VOTES BE COUNTED AND THEN TELL WHO THE WINNER IS..........PERIOD YOU'LL HAVE IT RIGHT THEN

ALSO TRY TO IMPARTIAL TOWARDS THE CANDIDATES, UNLIKE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING.......PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE Obama all you want when John Edwards gives HILLARY HIS DELEGATES and HE WILL......THEN MAYBE ALL OF YOU AT CNN WILL STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE AND KNOW THAT A WOMAN IS GONNA BE PRESIDENT.

to amy.....how sad that you have to rely on who some else is going to vote for to make your decision.

check out the canidate's record, experience and what they stand for . then make up your own mind.

who cares what kennedy, shriver, kerry and oprah think.

Endorsements are good for the media and give some coverage to the endorsee. When all is said, who cares who Hulk Hogan, a prime example, endorses? Mostly it serves to rekindle questionable past of those doing the endorsing. The majority of voters are not going to care who endorses who. We should be more concerned with our antique election system.

Wolf:
What in the world is the holdup in New Mexico? With 99% of the vote in, I can't
see why a projection cannot be made at this time. I see that Clinton his ahead.
Is that why no projection is made? For crying out loud, give us the winner now
or find out what is going on down there.

It's amazing that Wolf pointed out a good observation and complimented Senators McCain, Obama and Clinton for getting a tons of endorsements. But yet the Obama supporters have already attacked the Clintons, eventhough Wolf was referring to ALL candidates whether Democrat or Republican.

Seriously, Obama supporters RELAX already. This is just a simple observation. He was not discrediting Obama's endorsements. You people are fanatical!

So sick of seeing Obama's face on cnn today, time to give Hillary more money...have a good day....

I really don't care who endorse's who, I don't care how much good press a candiate gets, I have my own my, listen to the issues, and make a selection....

RUN HILLARY RUN

MY SON WILL NEVER COME HOME !!!! BUSH MCCAIN TICKET >>>>>>>>

Just for a minute if we think..its correct. Then how can Clinton News Network(CNN) can explain the secret meeting between Mr. Edword and Mrs. Clinton.

why is CNN showing superdelegates? Are you trying to make it appear as if Hillary is doing better. Billary's losing!! And soon their Washington friends won't be enough.

When I read in the blogs remarks about the bias of Wolf Blitzer, It does make me
worry about the mentality of some bloggers out there.
You will not find a more level head anchor than Wolf. He is not biased for or against any candidate. He is just one hell of a good anchor man.
You want bias? Tune in abc. They even hired Carl Rove to add to their list of biased reporters!

Does anyone have any idea who Al Gore is for? I think his endorsement would help someone.

Praying it is Obama......

Sources say Hillary Clinton still has a slight edge in the popular vote... I wish all the people who say otherwise would take the time to read certain news stories.

Even if Hillary doesn't have the popular vote anymore, it is so close to 50-50 that it's ridiculous.

Thank you very much for your well thought article. Now I do know why everyone I talk to loves CNN. I will not endorse any candidate who does not have any idea about Foreign as well as Domestic policy. He or she may be my friend but, I will do the Right thing that will benefit my Country not any corperation, FCC license benefit, or free Visas for the Iraq green zones War workers. A Presidental candidate should work very very hard in order to earn it. This is the urgent matter of my country and it is not a Popularity contest. It is my personal opinion and I will stand tall for my statement.

Oh Blitz must know the Edwards endorsement is coming! All 26 delegate votes too! Yup Hillary is going to win, as hard as they try to sweep her under the rug, it will be pulled out from under them!

I don't understand how a person can be swayed by a celebrity. Obama is a product that is endorsed by celebrities. Here buy Obama Oprah likes him. Here Buy obama Ted Kennedy said so. Give me a break. Obama is a name brand, that needs endorsments. If Big names didn't come out who would know about him. If supporters of him are voting for him B/C of the big name endorsemsents then they are weak minded with no ability to make up their own minds. I DO NOT WANT A PUPPET IN THE WHITE HOUSE. OBAMA IS A PUPPET AND THE CELEBRITIES ARE THE PUPPET MASTERS.

If the super delegates push Clinton over the top...Barack Obama should then declare that he will run as an independent...

Karen,
MI & FL violated DNC rules and scheduled their primaries early and we denied delegates. For that reason no one advertised there or made appearances. As such the vote is also not representative. HRC came into this with name reccognition and an automatic vote of a large portion of regular democratic voters. However, she has now lost 19 out of 29 states where candidates actually made an effort in.
MI and FL have been offered to hold new elections and allow candidated to advertise, campaign and with MI put their name on the ballot.

The DNC made their rules and those 2 states broke them. I'm from Florida so obviously I'm upset as well but it's my state's fault, not Obama, Hillary, or the DNC's. I hope that answers your question Karen.

Personal endorsements are one thing... but the concept of "superdelegates" is another.

I shudder to imagine what will happen if Obama goes into the Democratic convention with a lead in the state elected delegates and this mandate is overturned by political honchos and insiders.

Whatever miniscule faith Americans still have in the political process will be shattered, and our "democratic process" will have lost all credibility...both here and abroad.

I am not so naive as to believe that the "smoke-filled room" is a thing of the past, but I do hope that this will not be the case with the eyes of the world upon us. We have staked our political honor on the concept of "the will of the people", and it would be a terrible mistake for the Democratic Party to prove that to be misplaced.

People have lost enough faith in our government...and a brokered convention could be the killing blow.

I agree , because come next year when the economy will hit an all time low , Oprah and the Kennedy's won't be helping you with your mortgage payments . No , they will carry on living in their nice big homes and watch their bank accounts grow..!!
So be smart America and choose carefully , Obama is not ready to be the leader , not just yet anyway..!!!

Wolf,

When are you planning on proposing to Hillary? Be careful of Bill, man... he's quick to pull out the skeleton's in opponents' closets!

Karen, the primaries are the business of the political parties, not the states – technically they're independant entities. The party can carry out its primaries any way it wants: they could say that only people between the ages of 45 and 50 with red hair are allowed to vote, if they really wanted to (but they wouldn't, of course, as half the party would switch to another one or go independant).

Why nobody talks about Michigan and Florida delegate situation? How can anyone win the general election without winning at least one of the two?

Well said. So goes Edwards's endorsement.

Endorsements do matter. They help with an undecided voters justification for a candidate. And they confirm others voters decision as well. The Clintons know this and always tend to downplay the many high profile endorsments that Obama has garnered. Then they trot out their endorsements as an accomplishment. They matter. So don't try to downplay their significance. In fact the Kennedy endorsement and Maria Shriver endorsement for Obama was outstanding and helped confirm my vote for Obama.

Bitzer, do you actually get paid for this drivel....?

Endorsements are good at playing psychological warfare with your opponent.

The Clintons, like the Bushes, fiercly value loyalty- so the steady stream of high-profile Obama endorsements (many of whom are female) must have gotten under the Clintons' skin.

Thank you Mr. Blitzer.
I think the american voter is concerned enough with the future of this country to rely on endorsements of politicans who have been entrenched in the system we are trying to change for so long. There is to much at stake this time, VOTER BEWARE!

Dear Wolf,
Hoping you can answer a question? How is it legally possible that the voters in Michigan and Florida(14 million registered voters) have been told that their votes (delegates) will not be counted? In America, the DNC can tell states whose votes count and whose don't?

Endorsements don't matter. Votes Matter! Obama has the most votes. He has also won the most deligates... despite what CNN may want you to think

Has Wolf come out & officially endorsed Clinton yet, or is he still hiding the Hillary t-shirt under his suit?
