Listen up people, I am a latino and an old woman. Over 45. As much as HRC says she is supported by latinos, she has not got all their support. They are breaking out like most of the country. Old people - Clinton, people under 45 - Obama. I can tell you that in California, there were alot of absentee ballots. My mother now wants Obama but she voted absentee long before the primary, before there was much information (not the internet) available about Obama. So she voted on name recognition - Clinton.
As for experience — I don't care how long you have been in politics, you are either effective or your aren't. Clinton has been ineffective. In my opinion, she has a bad voting record, too many times voting in lockstep with Bush.
Also, Obama's website has detailed information on where he stands on various issues. He is trying to flesh out his stump speeches more, but when you hold a rally, it is best to not try to get too detailed. People tend to have short attention spans at these things.
Also, the Clinton campaign people here in Washington State called me 8 times! Everytime I told them I was not voting for Cinton. The sixth caller told me to "go to —-"! Real nice lady.

Dave,

Your ignorance and base level intellect is evident by your pitiful attempt to demean Obama supporters. Further evidence of your unevolved and fatuous perspective, is your weak use of cultural prejudices.

Go back to school and pay attention this time around. The entire Obama movement is about the free-thinker, not those who follow the RNC or DNC scripts, or the hateful rhetoric from the "Conservative" talk radio. Open your eyes and allow the wrinkling of your brain to occur. Stop being a pawn for the powerful and become an individual as part of a cooperative, not a collective. In a cooperative there is always a choice. The other only wants slaves and robots. True maturity and intelligence is when one can have an opinion, and still respect the right of others to disagree.

Dave: Are you a free man or are you a slave. Do you think for yourself or is it Rush, Hannity, Beck or Bush? Is this a Democracy, or do we exist in a monarchy where Corporations choose our leaders and make our laws. Have you read the Constitution, or are you merely playing your role as an actor in a play? Do you know yourself? Are you an American? Do you believe in Independence and Freedom — Individual Freedom?

Again, Are you Free?

Lets be reall.I want to ask all Hillary suppoters one question,If they really need change how then is she the change.If not to continue from where Bill stoped which is not change.This is just Bill in the form of a Woman.I think AMERICA need change and not continuation.

Francis,

Re:
PREMATURE VICTORY ! - GO GO HILLARY - THE LATINO'S AND ASIAN ARE WITH YOU. - THERE IS NO JUNGLE IN TEXAS UNLIKE IN AFRICA.

If you are indeed from Texas, you are an affront to all Texans. You should seriously consider anger management therapy.

HILLARY SHOULD BRING NEW PEOPLE TO HER CAMPAIGN…………..

Fellow americans;

Doing the right thing is the right thing to do.

Don´t fear changing your country and helping change the world.

Obama is not only a leader for America, but a leader for a world in which the mighty United States leads.

((Rap it up))

Obama 08
you vote o´right
let US might
end the world´s plight.

Bro-bama robots sound like children not to mention uneducated.

For once in 8 years Democrats have a chance to take back the white house. And I bet the farm that if Obama is nominated the Republicans will simply crush him to the pieces. He has absolutely no chance of wining the general election unless hell freezes 1000 times over and over and then some.

I sincerely hope for the sake of the country and the world Hillary is nominated for this is our last chance to take the White House back and give it to the people who know what they are doing.

You know what? I am sick and tired of hillary supporters say they will vote McCain. Please go ahead and do that. I call your bluff! We Obama supporters have nothing to lose because election results prove we can still pull this off without you guys. And you call yourself democrats? However if we don't , then get these facts.

1) I am not a female and can't get pregnant. If you Hillary girls vote mcCain then I am cool with it especially when McCain cancels Roe vs Wade by appointing conservative judges. Its the girls that get hurt not muah (me). I feel sorry for the youthful girls we have and they will hate you all for your votes. Hope you can look at your daughters in future and say you voted for McCain to revoke Roe vs Wade.

2) Lower taxes for for the rich? Well i am on my way to hitting that bubble and will appreciate McCain giving me more tax break.

3) On the war with Iraq and definately Iran coming under McCain? I am well past the age of qualifying for a draft because I will be 36 before McCain does that. So thank God.

4) As per healthcare? Forget about it cause I will still have it.

5) Education? I may have to delay my plans for a doctorate degree so what.?

You guys talk like you won't be living in the USA too under a president McCain. Get a life and take your empty barrel threats elsewhere.

Attention all Democrats … Everyone!! Hello all you Democrats out there … do I have your attention?

Ok, I think its fairly clear that Obama is the rising star and Hilary is the setting sun. Please Please lets now begin to focus on uniting our efforts to beat down the Republicans who have the National Debt at an all time high and dragged us into this Iraq affair.

Unify Democrats, we've got 10 years to repair the damage.

Lets get to work together immediately.

McCain is a tired old man and he's already begiining to show that. We will crush them in November, but we must unite now. Lets put the weapons from this Primary exercise away and begin the campaign behind Obama.

I didn't think it was likely either, but now i've accepted it and I think the message is clear … 8 wins to 0 in the last 8 contests and there are Primaries included. If you read the exit polls the message is clear.

Democrats lets units and fight the real problem in this Country.

I've worked in the Health Field all my life with numerous people in the most dire of circumstances. Even in the worse of those times I've rarely if ever encountered such seemingly grossly unpleasant personalities. AND CHILDISH!!! i.e. "if I can't have it my way I for sure won't vote your way". Exactly the point — we need to work together. We are entitled to different opinions and even heated constructive discussions. All this name calling, lie mongering (or lack of facts) and negativity is exactly what we are trying to change. In fact it sounds much like politics as usual. At last we at least have a candidate is willing to make the effort. He has my full support.

Raj,
What you said doesnt make any sense. If you look at polls he is leading McCain by 6 points and republicans are hoping that thye get to face clinton instead of him.

PREMATURE VICTORY ! - GO GO HILLARY - THE LATINO'S AND ASIAN ARE WITH YOU. - THERE IS NO JUNGLE IN TEXAS UNLIKE IN AFRICA. -

Could someone please remind people (namely contributor Lorrie)once again that playing the Moslem card won't work. That is scare tactic Bush politics. Besides, Obama is a Christian and more importantly a uniter and respector of all faiths!!!!!

anyone watching McCain right now he sounds like a tired old man!!

Look out for the Texas nudge, and those who love Obama are kidding themselves.
(Still in denial). But I don't want to be around them when they blow up!
The fools rush in will stop!!!

Here's to Hillary's success in Texas, and the Democratic party legitimizing Florida's votes. Obama's run a highlighter over a bunch of conservatives, who don't want a competent Democrat in the White House.

Obama's fate be will worse if he wins DEM nomination . He will be crushed to pieces by the same media and Republicans. Obama doesnt want to recollect 2008 in his life.

In VA, 98% African American voted Obama. And in MD it must be the same. I live in DC, and I know for sure it was 100%. The Potomac region is like a huge black community!

I think Hillary should do what is best for the party and for the general and that is—STEP ASIDE. Obama is the right leader, at the right time, in the right place to turn this country back around and dispel 8 horrible years of cynicism, corruption and greed.

Fact is most Democrats like BOTH Clinton and Obama. There is a clear choice but unfortunately for Hillary people are buying the rhetoric from Obama. Hillary supporters will be saying I told you so come November or January 2009 which ever the case.

If Bush could be the country's choice for president I'm not suprised Obama looks to have a chance. Can any of his supports elaborate on what his policy's will bring? Insteand of mindlessly chanting CHANGE.

To Shawn:

The problem is that they Hillary supports all grew up in Arkansas when Hillary and Bill were in the governor’s mansion. They are the product of a failed educational system run by the Clintons and they haven't the commonsense to know a bad product and service when they see one. Go Obama!

So much for the "experience talk". Can't even keep the campaign together. So much drama. If Hillary is president, we can expect the country to be just as chaotic.

Eric: This is no lie…in my heart, I feel that he is going to lead our country to some place that is dark and evil. I get an overwhelmingly bad feeling about Obama. And, God has not steered me wrong yet. I will trust my heart.

How can America get behind a nominee who can't clearly vocalize his stand on the issues? Obama preaches, Obama shines, Obama mesmorizes. But what is he really saying he will do. Well, you have to go to his website to find out. Because he will never talk details at a rally. Very sad America. Maybe he doesn't understand his own position on the issues.

People, typing in caps does not make you look cool. It's irritating.

Poor Hillary… so much for inevitability.

Obama '08: Change We Can Believe In

THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN WILL JUMP THIS HURDLE. OHIO, TX AND PA WILL BE THERE AND SEE WHO NEEDS TO BE IN D.C … HILLARY … IS THE RIGHT CHANGE FOR AMERICA.

Here in PA, we don't get to have our say until April! I think every state should have the opportunity to cast their vote before anyone steps down. I keep hearing "Will it go until Pennsylvania?" Why shouldn't it?

Seems like Obama supporters fear going any further!

hey tomdavie this is the worst form of sour grapes, if Obama wins in certain demographics its about race this and race that. What about Nebraska and other northern states where he has won and so if Latinos overwhelmingly vote Clinton does it ,means race too. the race card is too tired to be played at this stage.

Oh, most Clinton supporters WILL back Obama, but NOT the other way around. That's why she's unelectable and loses to McCain, but Obama WINS when placed next to McCain.

MCLAME IS SPEAKING……….DRY, DRY, OLD, OLD, OLD IDEAS, HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BUSH. GOOD.

I like this: Wait until the Republicans pluck Obama like a Thanksgiving turkey. Yes They Can!
It made me laugh for 5 minutes. Thank you Shortcake, you made my night!

What appears to be happening is as people get to know Senator Obama the more they like him. As his name recognition grows, he expands his support, where as Hillary has already maxed out in both catagories. Senator Obama should be polling nationally at around 55% support level with in the next two weeks.

There comes a time when the majority breaks one way for the person that they want to have on their TVs for the next four years. It looks like they are now breaking that way for Senator Obama. When you have two candidates competing with policy plans that are not very far apart, then the electorate uses likeability and charisma as the tie breaker. It appears to me that Senator Obama has a big edge there.

Hillery will have to go negative, and that will make her even less likeable, so she is in deep trouble.

That means that there should be a late surge for him in all the remaining states.

Other people ARE jumping ship.

Superdelegates are changing their votes from Clinton to Obama as of today.

Advisors are secretly telling the New York Times that she's in trouble.

The head of NOW Chicago resigned also from the Clinton campaign because of HRC's distortions about Obama's right to a woman's choice.

This is all around the net, in pockets.

If it were all in one place, it would be much more clear that she's a sinking ship.

Those of you who support Hillary better face facts, she can't win the nomination after tonight. She would have to win every state from now on. What are the chances of that? Zero.

If she has any pride left, now woud be a good time for her to gracefully bow out.

Holy cow! America finally got it right! I think I might have to get out of the way before lightning strikes! This is an American movement, not an Obama movement. We are showing the world that we are ready for change!

It's not over till the fat lady sings, I to belive in Hillary Clinton, Obama's lack of leadership, his favorite words to chant "yes we can" & "time for change" but what experience has he had were he actually did any of those 2 things. None! Hillary has the experience, the knowledge, & the drive to lead us again as a nation back on top, respected worldwide, economy boomin, deficit down, national debt down, unemployment down, healthcare, etc, etc, etc, and many more. I hope you all make the right choice a choice that will put us ahead. Vote Hillary Clinton!

Thank You………
Rick (Hillary Supporter)

Lorrie,

Please do not spread false information. Barack is not of Muslim faith. If YOU want to know more about it, then look it up.

Given the level of punditry generated, it is difficult not to feel ennui and certain degree of antipathy toward the entire primary/caucus evolution. Do we have this to look forward to until November?

Looks like the eject button has been pushed on…

All I hear from Hillary supporters is how they won't vote for Obama and from Obama supporters how they won't vote for Hillary. STOP ACTING LIKE 2ND GRADERS! Otherwise we may as well hand the white house to the Republicans and another upteen years in Iraq, Iran and whereever else we feel like waging war.

Unfortunately I don't think Obama can win the general election. If you look at some of the states he has won you'll notice that many of those are traditional Republican states. So the real question is: If Obama wins the nomination will the Clinton voters from such states at Ohio, Tennesses, Arkansas, Florida, etc. support Obama. Those have been Republican states in the past that the democratic candidate needs to win. On the flip side would the Obama supporters support Clinton if she is the candidate? I suspect more Obama supporters would support Clinton than Clinton voters support Obama.

As a moderate republican I am look ing forward to beating either Clinton or Obama in November.
One is an insincere policy wonk with astronomical negatives - the other a sincere charismatic with (except for iraq) no policies that appeal to the deciding center of the american populace. The democrats never learn. They should be a shoo in this year - but they have screwed themselves once more. Most of you are probably too young to remember 1968 when Nixon ( of all people) trounced Mcgovern - whose sounded exactly like Obama does today and McCain is a lot more appealing then Nixon.

old fart andy

Dennis–

I suppose racist white independent voters would not vote for Obama. Good thing there are nonracist white independent voters who will. Like me.

lorrie-

This country was founded because people wanted to practice their own religion freely. We are electing a President, not the Pope. Therefore, the fact that he is Muslim has no bearing on my decision.

Once people stop basing their decisions on fear and emotions, more people will come to Obama's side. As a white woman, I have no interest in Hillary whatsoever. If I'm going to vote for a woman, she will be the most qualified out of all the candidates. Hillary is not.

Jim Pallett February 12, 2008 9:30 pm ET

What is the Democratic Party going to do about Michigan and Florida? It seems that their delegates could be very important if not critical given the closeness of the race between Obama and Clinton. Also, what is the problem in New Mexico?

Jim,
I don't think there will be problems at all.
Obama's non-stoppable momentum will sink Hillary's campaign before the convention. The narrow split will widen soon. You will see superdelegates jump ship as well.

Hillary's last hope is Hispanics, but not all are for her.

i'm happy for my boy obama. he is showing this country that it's time for a real connection. my only problem with clinton is she seems to be counting the bid states and skipping the others. even in the states obama lost he campaigned, not forget every vote counts. the dnc decided to skip forida and mich because they moved ahead of super tues. no delegates are awarded to dem, so stop that talk. clinton didn't realize this was going to be a real fight and not a coast to the nomination. i wish her luck , but my vote is with obama.

YES WE CAN

The Clanton's, I'm sorry the clinton's truly represent a corporate America mindset. This type of mindset promotes people who claim to have experience even when their so called "experience" produces no results. The clinton campaign staff devolution is representative of the poor leadership skills of Capital Hillary and the poor decision making demonstrated by her husband Capital Bill. Change is needed and its needed now. Obama represents that change. If you want the same old same old, and the stale rhetoric of the past vote clinton.

Vote Obama! In your heart you know he's right.

People who say that Obama is all "talk and fluff" REALLY need to go check out his plans and how he stands on the issues on his WEBSITE!..He has an IMMENSE amount of information on there so check it out before you start blabbering away on the comment boards…thats what the "educated" obama supporters do lol….we look up the FACTS!!! OBAMA '08!!!!

You are all a bunch of morons, especially those who think McCain will win against Hillary or Obama…I'll take either over Mr. Send More People to Die in Iraq McCain.

The president does not run the USA…big money interests run it……….when Clinton left the Presidency OIL was $17 per barrel……..Bush's BIG MONEY people got us into this OIL war and now they are making the money…OBAMA will not be able to change much..BIG MONEY will still RULE……….Did Nancy Peloshi get us out of IRAQ??
Not much will change whomever gets in as President……..Read Solomon……It's all for naught..
Hank, been der done dat……..as Bush said "IT'S ALL ABOUT BIDNESS." lol

I'll never vote for Obama. I'll happily see McCain beat him in November.

Sure, Barack Obama can talk the talk, but how can he walk the walk with such little experience? Only two years in the Senate is not nearly enough experience to run one of the most powerful countries in the world. HILLARY '08 — Someone with real political experience!

I have friends in the several different campaigns, and apparently this guy was already planning to leave to spend time with his family. I congratulate Obama on his wins from the past couple contests, but let's remember Texas and Ohio are still deep in Hillary territory so let's not get too overconfident about the Obama campaign.

This post will be so far down that no one will read it. But anyhow, I think we Obama supporters should be cautiously optimistic. The Clinton machine is still formidable and quite capable of pulling off big state wins like Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, etc. Plus, there is the super delegate issue and not to mention the Florida and Michigan issue that COULD surface at the convention. As far as the Obama v. McCain issue - it is way to early to tell. After all, Clinton was way ahead in most polls a few months ago. Things happen, things change. Be excited - I am. But do not get arrogant and hubristic. There is a long long way to go and it will not be easy.
OBAMA 08!

YES, us Republicans, I am a lifetime member. We will either vote OBAMA, but not his Mama (Clinton person) what is her name? In the general election…However McCain is the shame of the party…He alone has the job to "sell" his right to be President to the party..AND the party will either hold the nose and vote for him or, LIKE ME pay him back and deal with the Dems and make a deal like he has so many times with the Dems and vote with the Dems. LIfelong Replubican will vote for any one BUT McCain in every election. McCain look up three the ARMY VALUE BOOKS at what LOYALTY is…you think it is vote any way you want on guns and life issues then run for President like a man…you are a independant so run with your party. SSG - OIF III VET.

Reading some of these blogs, especially about the "drinking of the kool-aid" just displays ignorance to the "nth degree". What makes us think that Obama can do what he claims??? What makes you think he can't? Get over your negativity and start looking ahead. When you relaize that it takes ALL of us to work together to get out if the mess this country is in, I'm certain you will see things differently.

Point blank…. I'm tired of being "sick and tired!"

Go Obama!

Obama whined when Bill Clinton took a few swipes at him, how is he going to handle the Republican machine?

Isn't it kind of impossible for Hillary to win now. There is no way that she can get over 60% in Texas, Ohio, and PA(I doubt she will even win any of them now). Hillary needs to stop before this does divide the party. However, it looks like McCain and Obama will duke it out and Obama winning in November. However, I predict he will be a disappointment. No one can live to as much hype and promises of change he has made, no one. If you think things are bad now, you wait for an America that is disillusioned. Yes you should have hope, but not hope at the point of losing touch with reality.

If our country has any hope of emerging successfully from this recession, Obama is NOT the answer. His inexperience and caution will hinder us greatly. As for his promise for hope and change…he has failed to mention what exactly he will change. It's a great message–but he's all talk and no action.

Never count the Clintons out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expect Hillary to come out fighting Obama now. Things will get nasty. I would never undersestimate Bill and Hillary Clinton. If Obama cannot Ohio or Texas or Pennsylvania — he is out. The Democrats want a candidate that will compete and win big states with electoral votes - like CA, NY, TX, PA, Ohio and FLA. Obama, unfortuantely would not win those states in a general election. Obama has the momentum, but he cannot win big states as of yet - that is his downfall.

AND to STEVE the Hilary supporter
Yeah yeah beautiful speech sweetie but people like YOU are the reason OBAMA is winning and people see through Hilary. People like you are the reason why we need CHANGE. CHANGE is what we want. WHO GIVES A FLYING FLIP about whether hes a fresh face!!!! You sound ridiculous saying some bull like that. All the OLD faces are the reason why this country is the way it is right now. Please come back with a better reason as to why Obama should not be elected. Hes a Senator just like Hilary. Is that not enough? And dont try me like Im like Im an ignorant one if you respond because Ill come back ten times harder with some hardcore facts for u.

GO YOUNG PEOPLE!!!!!
WE R THE FUTURE
CAN WE DO IT YES WE CAN!!!

Just as Hillary abandoned the black voters, since they chose to vote for Obama, and now she continues to lose them. She is now going to lose her hispanic voters as she abandons her hispanic campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle. She only hired her so she can get the hispanic votes. She did, but now, she is going to be losing most of them. I have no doubt, at some point, we will find out that she was pressured to leave and that it was not her choice to walk away.

I may not be a famous person or a politician; however, I am an individual and I do have an opinion. I will not live in a nation run by a man who has less experience than a 2-term member of congess running this nation. I will take a long vacation to the Great North and be a Canadian for a few years.

RWM,
If only people will tacitly stop putting race in the equation, you will see that hillary would never stand a chance against maccain in the general. obama stands a greater chance of winning and has the potential of being a better CIC, being a much younger candidate.CIC of the united states is a stressful job.

Sport Hilary!

It's not over yet! The Obama Team states that they want to "change" America, but we need a President, not an American Idol winner.

CNN, be fair and post everyone's messages.

Hillary Clinton 08

Hail Obama…sound familier? A smooth talker who manages to dupe people into loving him?

McCain is not going anywhere without those conservatives. If he wants to win he has to do some serious sweet talk. OBAMA 08!!! YEAH!

Well he may be jumping Hillary's boat, but I'm jumping the democrat boat.

Go Obama! I think Hillary should just save up whatever money she has left and try to secure her seat as the NY Senator. She MAY be president of the US someday but that day is not now and I can't tell when.

——————

Congratulations America….you were dupped again

__________

The negativity and comments by the Obama supporters in this entry is disgustingly childish. I hope you all make a very small percentage of the typical Obama supporter.

I'm not surprised by the comments on this blog; this is indicative of herd mentality. I hope the thinking people of this country will stand up and be counted as they vote for Hillary. This election is about getting a leader that has proven she makes change happen, not about someone like Obama that's all talk!

texas - the alamo - (last stand) how did that turn out?

I am traveling in Argentina today and was wearing my Barack Obama shirt. Stranger after stranger came up to many, from Argentina and other countries, and said, "I hope your country elects Barack Obama. He would do wonders to restore your standing in the world." It's great to see state after state, country after country, and voter after voter recognize the powerful voice, inspiring vision, and unifying respect of Barack Obama. Thanks to all of you who support him! And thanks to Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia for supporting the man who really will change the way Washington, DC, operates.

It aint over until it's over! SHE IS WOMAN!!!!!!

Clinton must be taking her frustration out on the staff. LOL
GO OBAMA

Based on your website, CNN, you are projecting St Barack the Divine the winner in Maryland with 0% reporting. Who the hell are you–Miss Cleo? The percentages at your last tally was St Barack the Divine-33 & Hillary Clinton-50. Care to let us in on how you forecast the winner?

i'm already toasting to the fact that the next president won't be another conservative.
i'm a democrat, but i'll take mccain anytime!

Clinton supporters will NOT support Obama

We got a HUGE media bias. We got a HUGE african american BIAS.

This isnt about the ISSUES.

Mc Cain 08

If the Hispanics new better they would realize it's much better to have Barack in office for them(honestly)….Clinton is really just talk…she really doesn't understand the struggle, and she really doesn't care…she thought she would get the black votes…. but they saw through her in just enough time…. she cares only about that vote, she feels entitled… please step aside Mrs. Clinton.. if you really care about the country as much as you say you do, then even you would be rallying for BARACK! We can feel it ya know…it's not just the words… anyone could say the right words if trained but…….we know that his heart is for the betterment of the US (he has something to lose you know: time with the family that you can see he absolutely adores (unlike yours), sleepless nights, but most of all he has the understood threat on his life…he's putting a lot on the line…and he's such a young man)……we don't feel that same way about you ma'am. So Please …..step aside.

Please believe that Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio are ready to stand for change!

TX will Barack the Vote!

Cynics… step aside. Allow Change we Can Believe In!

Washington, DC
Virgina
Maryland

Said it Loud this evening…

It's not over yet!!!!!! I support Hillary. And so do a lot of others!

The democratic base is in a sad state when it base is saying that don't think they can support Obama if he is the candidate. Or rather, the base is sadder for putting him there. I will not be voting democrat if he is the candidate. Choosing between Obama and McCain is like having to choose the lesser of two evils, both bad choices for the country

Everyone needs to take a chill pill. What happens in November if Obama gets teared apart by the Rupublican machine? He has had like 3 years of experiece, and I hate to say this, even though I like Obama: Who would know who he is if he didn't give that speech in 04?

I like Obama, but the fact of the matter is speeches don't get you anywhere. Actions need to speak louder than words, and to me, that is not happening.

One good thing though is that history is being made on two fronts this year. It looks as though a women or an African-American will run for president.

AND to all those who say the wheels are coming off, grow the heck up. Campaigns go through change all the time. Who would have thought the campaign would go this long; no one. Grow up everyone. Obama will have staff changes as well.

OBAMA THIS! OBAMA THAT! OBAMA ! OBAMA! Give me a break! It is not over with until the delegate count say so! Go Hillary! Go Hillary! Go!

Obama is rocking the process!

Henry worked on the Gov oof VA campaign the man BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO says is on his short list for favors after getting his endorsement. Hardly a change from politics as usual!! What a fake. BO is leader of a cult

TO LORRIE –

OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN! WATCH CNN! THEY SAID THIS A MILLION TIMES! He is not a muslim. You are on the CNN blog, so I know that you are intelligent. Don't be mislead by fear and lies.

Obama has won many primaries, but he has not carried a major state besides Illinois, his home state. He lost NY, CA, NJ. Obama needs to show Democrats that he can win Texas or Ohio. I seriously doubt Obama wins Ohio, Texas or even Pennsylvania. If Hillary wins these states, she has the nomination.

A big round of applause to the MEDIA and racist african american 90-10 vote.

Way to rigg the election.

Did anyone notice that the base of the party -outside the racist vote - is behind clinton?

Doesnt matter does it?

KNOCKOUT TONIGHT!!! SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP

YES WE DID, YES WE CAN!!

Wow, the shifts in the demographics of todays voters compared to 'Super Tuesday' show just how seriously Hillary's campaign is on the road to Nowheresville, USA.

Now 'seniors', 'white men' and the 'less affluent' are voting for him in droves….

And they say his campaign has no momentum…. Suck it! Pundits !! lol

OBAMA '08 !

Yes We Can !!

(and will !!)

Obama is not what he has The Obama Zombies convinced he is…..STOP DRINKING THE KOOL-AID
look behind the curtain and ask……WHAT has he really said????
His speaches that you ZOMBIES keep drooling over belong to MLK and JFK
What makes you think OBAMA can do what he claims he can do when he cannot even write and speak something original???

Ok guys that does it…I'm also annoucing my divorce to supporting the Clinton Campaign. I'm supporting Obama now. Obama here I come!

Do you realize if Clinton won….there would only be two families in control of the White House for 23 YEARS. Think about it.
George H.W. Bush 1989-1993, Bill Clinton 1993-2001, George W. Bush 2001-2009, and finally Hillary 2009-2012.
Totally crazy and not healthy!!!! We could expect the same old Clinton Clan!!
Obama is America's true answer to "change".
Go Obama!

Dear Hillary,

It is time for you to gracefully and respectfully suspend your campaign. Obama has won the last 8 primaries and caucuses with HUGE margins. These have been in all geographic regions and dramatically different demographics. You have only won NINE states outright while Obama has won TWENTY-TWO, and he is pulling away in the pledged delegate race. Please, Hillary- be selfless and help in unifying the party and throw in the towel and hand it over… as it the writing is on the wall.

GO OBAMA!! WITH U TIL THE END BROTHER>>>

Hillary has been fantastic. She will continue to be a terrific senator or possibly supreme court justice. Obama is the best thing to happen to this party since FDR. The sooner Hillary and Bill can embrace this man of character and vision and put their full support and influence behind him the better.
Obama is the man to ward off the honorable but misguided McCain and prevent the national nightmare of 7 Scalia/Thomas clones on the supreme court.

I love how all the clintonites are "oh, he can't answer questions, and doesn't stand for anything". I hear it from the right too, and just laugh, because it's obvious they aren't paying attention to anything except the newsradio and the Clinton campaign's talking points. Saying this stuff over and over doesn't make it any more real.
Obama is very clear on the issues. For instance, Pakistan? The War? Etc?
I still don't know if Hillary is for or against the war, but I do know how she voted.

Shall we move on to the "experience" issue? I'd love to remind whoever pipes up first in the Clinton camp about his record vs. hers, and the fact that he actually has more experience, unless you count the 8 years she spent being lied to by her husband…

Goodness gracious, great balls of fire! Go, go, go Obama! you're our man! Mrs. Clinton is finally going to get a reality check. The Clintons have always had an agenda, why else would she put up with all the lying and cheatig with Bill if she did not have an agenda. It certainly wasn't love! She is going down fast! If her experience, her political clout has not been able to carry her against a ew comer, then you know there is a lot of anti clinton sentiment in our country. They do not own America. Hillary does not belong in the white house . She was there once before, we need some new blood. Obama has awesome support from the democrats and we need to support him and give him this opportunity to bring us to the next phase of the 21st century politics. I am tired of the Clintons. I have no doubt at some point in te future, Chelsea will run for president. It's inevitable! For now, Hillary please bow out gracefully!

Go Obama Go Obama. Unbelivable Keep going like. You'll be the next Us Preident

Obama is a phenomena…but not right for president. His position on issues isn't conducive to a prosperous and stable country. Hillary is the right candidate for the job

Team Clinton 2008

I am sorry Marcia…Hillary is over…She lost all the advantages she had….Womens voted 60%+ for Obama….

I DONT FEEL SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO CAN LOAN THEMSELVS 5MIL DOLLARS. IT'S NOT OVER, BUT THE FAT LADY IS WARMING UP IN TEXAS AND OHIO.

HAHA!!! I think that Clinton's Camp. is starting to look more and more like the Giuliani Camp. just before it ran into a brick wall and collapsed!!! I love how shes already in Texas and I am sure she is saying "Mayday!" "Mayday"!!!!!!
NOTE TO MRS. CLINTON: YOU LOST!!!

I think it is time all of us democrats stop the fighting… Hillary ran a great campaign. She has done a lot for this country. Hopefully she will be in Obama's Cabinet…maybe Secretary of Education?

IT IS TEXAS TURN!!!

Hillary 08!!!!

Are the people on this blog actually old enough to vote. It sounds like a bunch of 12 yr olds. It is so sad to me that a completely unprepared and inexperienced person may actually have a shot at the Presidency, thanks to the media hype and bias from CNN and MSNBC. Whatever happened to good honest reporting. REPORTING THE FACTS-NOT MANIPULATING THEM. I compare CNN and MSNBC to a sleazy celebrity magazine. Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite were real newsmen. I am too disheartened to even look anymore. This is nothing more than a tabloid. How disgusting and unconscionable.

JOSH: RE-ELECTION to the SENATE??!?!?!?!

What rock do people live under? She was just re-elected in 2006…she's not due for another 4 YEARS!!!

I agree with Chris in LV, NV…we don't know what goes on INSIDE the campagin NOR inside the White House. To think we, the voters, know more that someone that's been there (Hillary or Barack..who have both been on the Hill for longer than any of us!)….we have another thing coming….

$9.50 an hour IRRESPONSIBLE?????? Just who works for you? What do they get?

so much for leadership… and if she was a president how long would you give her until her cabinet starts quitting in hordes?
A good pastor keeps his flock intact….
let the spring bring the smell of change

I started off supporting Hillary and will continue to do so until she is either president or out of the race. Should she lose out in the primaries, however, I will NOT be voting democrat this election. Obama is not ready to lead this country. Hillary may not be my ideal candidate, but I have confidence that she would be ready to lead from day 1. Just the same, I have that sort of confidence in John McCain. His policies may be a little right of where I'm at, but I can get over it. What I cannot get over is having some fresh-faced kid sitting in the oval office. He simply lacks the experience to be an effective president.

The smartest woman in American should be smart enough to see the end. The light at the end of the tunnel is a train coming at her.

Listen!!!! Hillary is not going to quit. She is a fighter. Can Obama walk the talk? I don't think so. Obama is all words and Hillary has the facts. Wake up all you Obama followers.

The ship be sinking… ha ha… I love it.

It was always very clear to me that Obama was the best candidate for America…

She is done.

The Clinton campaign reminds of a lot of the Rudy Guiliani campaign—a campaign of failure.

To all those who cling to the old spin of "Obama is all talk and no issues" listen: if you haven't availed yourself of the IMMENSE amount of information out there on the web about Obama's stance on issues, you need to. You owe it to yourself and this country to be more educated about this process. Don't swallow whatever the media feeds you- do your own reseach. Obama has made his position on the issues KNOWN and CLEAR. Be prepared for Clinton to change her tune now that she's being soundly defeated-more evidence that she will do ANYTHING to get elected. Refute that.

Hillary said that OBAMA's wins did not count since those states never vote democrat. Now she's campaining in Texas? Uh, Hillary, last time I checked Texas never votes democrat.
And how dare you say that peoples votes no not matter. Is that what you want Texans to think. My vote goes to the one who appreciates my vote and will not turn his back on me.

TEXANS FOR OBAMA!

GOBAMA ! Goodnight Clintons.

If I were Hillary, I would not waste money in trying to run for President anymore. Save funds and bow out gracefully so that she can run for her re-election in the NY as their senator again.

We'll be soon singing Kum Ba Yah with Obama whilst our economy crashes. Smart choice America!

This war of attrition just keeps getting better. I know it's cruel but I love to see the Clintons suffer in politics.

Maybe she will cry again and everyone will come running back to wipe her tears.

I think the race is far from over but this is a great event for Obama.

Hillary is promising a $9.50 Minimum wage. This is totally irresponsible and misleading. You can't just make these kind of promises during a campaign. Imagine the impact to corporations and small businesses if the government mandated this type of pay rate. It would cause people to lose jobs, and companies to go under. It might also cause companies to lose profit and destroy the stock market.

Not well thought out
Poor judgement
Empty campaign promise
Sign of desparation

I live in Texas, and this is one of the most pro-business states in the country. Lots of small business owners and start ups. We need to attack this and call it irresponsible and get the media and economist to critique it. We can score big on this one.

As a Dem I will vote for MCcain instead of Obama. This would be the first time I turned my back on the Dem. I can't vote for Obama as I didn't vote for Bush. Once again I will be saying to my friends for 4-8 years I told you so!!!!!!! We could have 16 years of unexperince in the office. 8 years of Bush and Know 4-8 Obama. Canada looks better every year!

Actually, to the person above who thinks Hillary stands a better chance than Obama against McCain, polls indicate the opposite, that if the election were today Obama would beat McCain, and Hillary would face a tougher race. She is definitely going down and the wheels are already coming off. It doesn't look good when someone must rely on a small handful of "big" states to win herself the nomination. She is in Texas already? haha … OBAMA 08′

ha ha ha…think about how many won't vote for Obama in the general election! most of the Hillary supporters won't and none of the Republicans will! You fools! You have just handed the Republicans the White house again!

To the person who said "Obama is a divider." HA! Right - a "divider" who gets votes from hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life in all regions of the country.

Go Hillary Go! All the way to the Oval Office, then onto a second term. Going to turn this country around.

Yep,

the republicans are getting what they hoped for!

GO HILLARY.

Know him in his mouth!

Obama is the only one left on this race.

I don't think for a moment that McCain could beat Obama in a general election.

Granted he had ZERO competition within his own party– but honestly it's not hard to crawl at the top of the food chain when you're the only shark in a pond full of guppies.

Obama will be the next president of the United States– unless the Supreme Court decides for us, again.

It's no wonder people are jumping ship…they are like sheep. The media, especially MSNBC and NBC, have been ruthless against Hillary and have been on Obama's side from the start. If you say it enough people will follow…Obama is new, Obama is hope…Obama is the great uniter. But if you ask most people about his policies they probably couldn't tell you what they are. I like Obama, but I have reservations that he isn't just a lot of fluff.

I feel that while America may be ready for a female president, Hillary is not the right woman for the job and everyone is starting to see that. BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!

And just so you all know- TEXAS will not let Hillary down. We are mobilizing and we are full of fight! Firewall for Hillary!

I'm happy for the Obama campaign. I do believe that he should address economic problems more specifically and hit the Clintons with their ties to Wal-Mart, Tyson, the drug and oil companies. I'm concerned that the Clintons are going to owe a lot to special interests.

We need a candidate with experience for these troubling times.

Most of these comments are graceless.

It isn't a football game - it isn't a game at all. Hillary Clinton is losing ground for very good reasons but that's no reason for any glee.

We have serious problems to solve and things to accomplish now.

Let's save the celebration for after Ohio and Texas. We will do the work we need to do in Texas. Obama '08.

OBAMA WON MARYLAND, ALSO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOoo!

08AMA!

MEDIC!! MEDIC!! MAN DOWN!! MAN DOWN! SOS!!!

oh yeah.. and uhh…. OBAMA 08!

Rats jumping the ship. Go Obama Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is lucky to have Opraph's money backing his campaign. All you need is the most money to win the presidency in our country.

Maybe we'll finally be rid of the Clintons! You can fool some of the people………..

Life long Rebulican but Barack has my vote. Cannot have war monger McCain or teary eye hillary. I know its not her fault, but what would USA do if our President cried once a month… on camera that is because I'm sure Bill had to do some crying for her not to leave his butt.

It's not over and Obama still needs lots of support.
What he has done so far is incredible considering what he is fighting against.
Let's make it possible for him, for us. Let's keep contributing financially so he can make it to the top.
Go Obama!

RWM February 12, 2008 9:17 pm ET

God you people are so negative…its not over till its over.

Obama doesnt stand a chance in the general; McCain will crush him.

………………………………………

Well now, that second comment of yours was a fine example of you not being negative. No wonder Hillary is losing if all she is attracting is morons of your ilk!

TO ALL,
JUST LIKE WHEN THE BUSH CABINET START RESIGNING, SO IS THE CLINTONS. I JUST THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS SEEING RIGHT THROUGH HER. HOW SHE TALKS DOWN TO PEOPLE AND OBAMA. TRYING TO MAKE HIM LOOK SMALL.,BUT GOD HAS A WAY OF MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. I CANNOT GET OVER ON HOW SHE THINKS THAT SHE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN BE PRESIDENT AND COULD RUN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT A MESS. WHY IS SHE KEEP REFFERING BACK TO THE 90′S AND HER HUSBAND. THIS IS A NEW DAY AND A LOT PEOPLE WANT TO MOVE ON FROM THE PAST THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE. WHY DOESN'T SHE APOLOGIZE FOR HER VOTE TO HELP BUSH TAKE THIS COUNTRY TO WAR WITH IRAQ. SHE NEEDS TO STOP DODGING THIS QUESTION AND APOLOGIZE TO THE FAMILIES WHO LIVES WERE AFFECTED BY THIS TRAMA. AFTER ALL, SHE DIDN'T EVEN READ THE NIE REPORT BEFORE SHE CAST HER VOTE. I THINK SHE NEED TO SAY SHES SORRY TO ALL OF THOSE KIDS 18-25 YEARS OLD WHO LOST THERE LIVES AND MANY THAT WERE WOUNDED. THIS IS A MESS 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE A DIDN'T READ THE NIE REPORT. YES SHE OWES AMERICA AN APOLOGY AND THE REST OF THE SENATE AND CONGRESS. I KNOW I DON'T WANT SOMEONE LIKE HER TO BE PRESIDENT.
PEACE
PATRICIA

CNN IS AN EXCELLANT NEWS NETWORK. DURING THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS IT HAS BECOME VERY EVIDENT THAT SOME OF YOUR NEWS PERSONNEL SUCH AS JACK CAFFERY AND WOLF BLITZER IS BIAS TOWARD SEN.OBAMA. THEY SHOULD JUST REPORT THE NEWS EQUALLY AND NOT OFFER THEIR PERSONAL OPINON . YOUR OPINON CAN INFLUENCE THE VOTE OF YOUR LISTENCERS. THANK YOU, D.MOSS

RWM~pretty much exactly what people said Clinton would do to Obama. How 'bout we meet back here after the general election and if McCain beats Obama I will buy you a case of your favorite suds and vise-versa should McCain loose.

Better bring lots of dinero~I have expensive taste

Obama

'08

yes WE can

It's amusing how these small wins are such a big deal for the Obama train. Do not forget two powerhouses are yet to vote!

If you obnoxious Obama people think that most of Hillary's supporters would vote for him in the general election, think again. I've voted for a Democrat in every presidential election for over 30 years. If he's the nominee, I will vote for John McCain. Because of the way you have trashed Hillary, I know lots of Hillary supporters who feel the same way.

I understand the sorrows of Hillary's supporters. Four words of consolation: "never underestimate the Clintons"

What is waiting for democrats in November if Hillary is the nominee?

I would like to remind you of the prophetic words of a dead man, late Rev. Jerry Falwell: “I certainly hope that Hillary is the candidate. I hope she's the candidate, because nothing will energize my (constituency) like Hillary Clinton. If Lucifer ran, he wouldn't”

If Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Democrats' presidential nominee in 2008, it will motivate republicans to oppose her more than if the devil himself were running.

Keep your eyes on ohio and texas and PA obama people, And don't forget who thought florida and michigan werent worth his time, when the delegate battle over those states start whats obama going to say "No those people don't matter" or are you going to support couting their votes?? cause then hillary wins mwahahahahaha learn some strategy obama

GO HILL DAWG!

I am a Hillary supporter, this is not good. Barrack is probably going to be the nominee, but I dont think in good conscience I can vote for him.

what is tonights excuse? activists activists activists?

buh bye.

As much as I dislike Clinton, and love Obama, I am genuinely starting to feel sorry for the woman.

YES……………Obama wins Maryland , it's just a mater of learning , by how much.

Bottom line is…

Nobody wants to be on a losing team! I am sure that these people were FIRED by Hillary! It was just PC for them to say that they resigned or stepped down. We can call see through the smoke — Hillary ain't that nice. She want's to win and will knock ANYONE out of her way to do it. Chelsea better beware. She will be denounced as a Clinton next week!

Lots of people have left McCain's camp over the last year. So much for your theories.

Could it be that rats are fleeing a sinking ship? It can't be that bad to work with Clinton. Since this person isn't being fired outright, then he must be noting that this isn't going to help his career.

Fat Lady not sing yet,

What is the Democratic Party going to do about Michigan and Florida? It seems that their delegates could be very important if not critical given the closeness of the race between Obama and Clinton. Also, what is the problem in New Mexico?

Clinton worries me. I've written to congresspeople all my life, and of all of them, she's the only one who never responded. It's funny, too, because I wrote her a few years ago asking her to work on legislation to lower student loan interest rates. I just saw her stumping for precisely this type of legislation in her speach in El Paso, yet she never responded to my emails, or even did anything while a senator to work in favor of reducing student debt.

Event poorly run congresspeople's offices respond to mail from their constituents–I guess just not Hillary. My guess is she was too preoccupiued with her political ambitions to get any real work done.

Obama wins Maryland!!!!!

I feel sad that HRC is not able to even acknowledge what is happening around her. Is it denial or her protection mechanism kicking in?

As they say in Texas, Hillary has a big hat and no cattle!!! Show me the states Hillary!!!! Obama got em all!

Que up the music…"and another one bites the dust"

Well it comes as no surprise read the negative comments about Hillary on this board and the number of them from men. There must be a lot of single men on this board, cause the wives of these guys must have run run run away. No substance here - I would have expected more from CNN readers - Am I on the Fox News board?

Neither of the two departures reflects a change in the campaign's strategy, but rather a hope for a change in the performance of the campaign manager.

Usually when this happens in companies, it's the result of backers unwilling to invest any more money without seeing some changes in the organization. After all, with one failure after another, it's a trend that people aren't willing to risk their money on unless the company changes their practices.

My understanding is that the Clintons and Mark Penn are responsible for the strategic design of the HRC campaign, so what needs to change won't be changing. Hill and Bill are still running the show.

Maggie Williams is known for her loyalty to the Clintons. I'd guess she's being brought in to run the ground game to deliver Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and if/when that fails, to carry out the campaign to arm-twist the super delegates.

Bring on the next generation I'm all for that!
I'm thinking Obama will be next President .
But change is not always good things changed on 9/11

This is NOT major news. The Clinton campaign got rid of someone after this weekends lost to dampen the headline of the Obama sweep.

In the past 4 days, Obama has won Washingon state, Louisiana, Nebraska, Virgin Islands, Maine, Washington DC and likely Maryland! 8 straight victories since Super Tuesday. That is the headline.

obama can never win texas or ohio or even penn.The blacks have come out for him.Now the whites in texas ohio will come out for clinton.Obama is all talk no action.by winning these small insignificant states he cant aim to overrun texas,cali,newyork etc.

I agree with RWM –McCain will crush him !
.
CLINTON 08 !!!
