To the poster above....

The Democratic National Committee decided to penalize Michigan and Florida's democratic party officials because they tried to take advantage of the system and move their primaries ahead of super Tuesday. Prior to the race starting, all sides and all states knew that Michigan and Florida had their delegates stripped for defying the national committee.

Should the voters have input in those states? Yes.

It is the fault of the democratic leadership in those two states who decided to try to "pull one" on the national committee. It is not Obama's fault. It is not Edward's fault.

Should the results that have occurred count in MI and FL? No. Why not?
1) They were forbidden from having their primary before Super Tuesday and you should not reward people for breaking the rules.

2) Candidates did not campaign in MI or FL. Therefore, candidates with better known names (the Clintons) should do better. Just look at Guiliani's poll numbers before candidates campaigned in Florida. Prior to the campaigns Guiliani led in the Florida polls due to name recognition and the more they heard from the candidates, their choice changed.

3) Obama was not listed on the ballot in Michigan, so there is no way to determine how many delegates he will get.

4) Many voters who thought their vote did not count in Florida and Michigan did not go to the polls on election day because they felts their vote was not going to count. This is not fair to these people.

Expreience is not a prerequisite for executive leadership.

To all of you Obama supporters HE DID NOT vote against the war. He hadn't been elected to the senate yet. The other thing is the vote about Iran...he didn't stop campaigning to go back and vote. He's not God and he certainly isn't perfect.

Two observations regarding this experience thing. 1. Experience is not the most important quality one should look for when trying to choose a leader. For example, G. Bush would now have 8 years direct experience...so what. 2. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who have more "experience" in the dealings of Washington or running things both in the public and private sector.

Hillary didn't vote for the war because she lacked experience. Nor because she was in favor of it. She voted because she lacked the courage to stand up to the political pressure being applied by the Bush gang.

But most importantly, what experience are you talking about when it comes to Mrs. Hillary. She only been a Senator for a short time. I don't think being first lady should carry a whole lot of weight.

Obama represents that kind of leader that comes along every once in awhile. All you have to do is take a look at him and listen to your heart...the choice is clear...the same old thing or a real chance for change. Hillary may win or lose the nomination...Obama can only win.

Early in the process when the media polled African Americans most of us gave
our opinion based on name recognition not being familiar with the skinny State
Senator from Illinois. Fortunately I live in his district and was familiar with him.
I voted for him based on my belief that he is the best choice. I do not always agree
with all of his positions but I have great respect for him. He's is bright, hardworking
and makes sound decisions. One of the most important decisions he has to make
is to surround himself with an informed and solid staff that gives sound
advise. He will listen. You will be in good hands.

HE'S WON EIGHT IN A ROW. HE WON THE GRAMMY, AND NOW HE'S GOING TO WIN THE ELECTION. GO OBAMA

SOMEBODY JUST JUMPED SHIP IN THE HILLARY CAMPAGIN. THEY ARE DROPING OUT LIKE THE STOCK MARKET.

OBAMA 320,000 VOTES HUCK AND MCCAIN 240,OOO COMBINED WOW

Do you really want Obama.
Think about it.

Barack just went ahead in total delegates! Wooohooo!!!
1170 to 1168

The tide has turned....
Obama 08'

2025 is the number ....

For Hillary Voters:

Hillary won Super Tuesday
Hillary has more Super Delegates

Don't worry...this is the lull before the storm.

You go girl!

Go OBAMA!!

I'm a 50 something year old woman- and I 'm voting for Obama! The time is Right and that time is NOW!! This primary is NOT about race or gender, it's about who can represent ALL people and connect to ALL people regardless of race, age, or gender. It's 2008, we know racism is ALIVE and well, but let's focus on our country and what 's best for it's people. AND OBAMA is what's best for AMERICA!!

I agree with the young lady Crystal " Obama is winning and it's very frustrating. Obama has also one the whitest states in America (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc.) Is it the black vote that is helping him out there too?" No, how could it be there are only 3 African Americans total in those states!! LOL

U go Crystal !!! Educate the rest of these Obama haters!!

Obama has no history about running a country, the economy or has any experience with international policies.

I don't know about you, but if I had to hire someone to run my company I certainly wouldn't hire an intern.

This isn't a horse race. It's a serious election.

Forget Oprah's opinion. Forget Snoop Dog. Forget the Obama Girl!

Please stop thinking Obama will change the country. Maybe 10 years from now.

Please vote experience. Not black or white.

Go Hillary......Go girl!!!!!!!!!!11

if my vote in mi primary than why should i vot in nov.

WHO EVER GET IN,KNOW THAT GOD ALLOWED IT AND ORDAIN IT FOR THIS TIME.

Go Obama!!!! A new era of politics emerging before our very eyes.

Super delegates are not stupid. If they project that Hillary is the best candidate, that's way are government is set up.

It looks like Hillary will win. Let's support her, black or white.

You all keep saying that Obama voted against the war. Get your facts straight. He gave a speech against the war in 2002. He wasn't even elected to the senate yet when the first vote for the war was held. When he actually got to the senate, every single vote was for the war. Talk about flip flopping. First he was against the war, then he was for the war and now that he is running for president he is once again against the war.

What's the use of waisting time going to vote. Everyone knows who is going to win and by how much before the polls even close. Takes all the fun out of watching the votes come in. Go Hillery!!!

She didn't show up to vote against warrantless wiretapping because she wants to reserve that for her administration. Obama showed up to vote against it so he can RESTORE the Constitution.

CN #1 fan, if by crisis you mean that she was strong while her husband and our then president, cheated on her repeatedly...then heck by that argument half the women in America should run for president! Cut it out touting all of this so called experience...Billary is so steeped in scandal that it's sickening! Madame Scandal step aside!

TEXAS, WE NEED TO SHOW OBAMA THAT "NO HE CANT" WIN TEXAS!!!!!!!!! DONT MESS WITH TEXAS OBAMA!!!!!!!!! WE DONT BELIEVE IN YOUR BULL. WE ALREADY TOOK BULL FROM BUSH. WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE YOUR BULL TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND SAY IT..THEY ARE OVERWHELMINGLY VOTING FOR THE BLACK CANDIDATE IN THE RACE......FOR NO OTHER REASON THEN HE IS A VIABLE BLACK CANDIDATE.

BREAKING: Mike Henry, Hillary's deputy campaign manager, has resigned. ,

Amy M
I salute you for the comments. You are a true american. We have to move beyond this divisive tactics along party, religious and ethnic lines to uplift our country from this terrible mess we are in right now. To compete with other countries in the 21 st century, we need unity not division. When Gorbachev was elected in U.S.S.R and dismantled the Communist Empire, they had the same sentiment, electrifying, and I was there at that time and it no different now.

Anyone who says this is a "race"/"ethnic" issue, really needs to WAKE up. Look at the exit polls. Obama received 49% of the white vote. White voters made up 61% of the voters in Virginia. That is no small feat. He attracted 45% of the white FEMALE vote and 55% of white men and of course took most of the African-American vote. Latinos who made up 5% of the vote broke in his favor 55% to Hillary's 45%. He even attracted 50% of the 65+ voters and took all other age categories.

Obama ROCKS!!!!!!!!

What is the Hillary supporters excuse going to be this time? It was the blacks? Nope, he took nearly 50% of the white vote. It was a caucus state? Nope it was a primary. It was the age group? Nope, nearly all age groups broke completely in his favor. It was.......oh never mind. Let the excuses begin.

Obama '08.....kick her to the curb.

Why are we being so stupid and even thinking about voting for a long shot like Obama in a race for the most important position.

Hello....

You can call the vote in DC now, why wait to get 1 percent.

All I know is that I have never in life heard a Republican say they could vote for Senator Clinton; Obama has crossover appeal. More electable, against the war, $4000 tax credit for EVERY college student, no MANDATED health care. He's got my vote.

To Roger,"Sorry, but all I really know that Obama has actually done or accomplished is to vote against the war."

He didn't vote against the war. He's only been a senator for 3 years. But you're right, that seems to be the only argument he has against Clinton. The problem is, Obama supporters are not voting for a proven record. They hear the words hope, change, and go nuts. If Obama doesn't win the nomination, these kids will just stay home in November to play their video games.

Ethiopian-American Voters has played a great role for OBAMA's win in MD,VA and DC Elections.

Wake up Dems. The Republican party is trying to edge out the election. Blog it and find out how many are turning out to vote for Obama just so they can defeat him in November. You can't tell me any Republican who has always been a Republican is going to turn around in the primary and vote for the most liberal Democrat at that. There party already has their front runner they don't need to vote for him anymore, he already is a shoe in. Here is what they are saying:

by commish
My wife and I voted in the IL Dem primary with the sole reason of having the pleasure of casting votes against this horrible woman. We have always voted Republican

More and more Republicans will come out for Obama or help him behind the scenes. Everyday, he is seen more and more as the best way to derail Hillary. Republicans will beat Obama 50 states to 0 in 2008, if only the Democrats will nominate him.

thomas, Phoenix, Arizona

According to CNN, 44% of those voting for Obama were Republicans.
41% of those voting for Obama earn $100K a year or more (was that all those Republicans?). Check it out.

To all the real Obama voters, I am sorry this is happening to your candidate. Republicans would never do this unless it was to their benefit. They are planning on smearing him in November.

To all those in Ohio and Texas, it is up to you to stop the Republicans. It is point of contention that Republicans will pick our nominee, when my democratic vote here in Michigan will been ignored.

Virginia Democrats said Obama was "most qualified to be Commander in Chief" by a 55-44 margin.

That' s the most shocking number so far.

HILLARY HAS LOST HE R MO JO. TIME FOR BILL TO GET NASTY AGAIN. IT'S SLIPPING AWAY. SHE'S NOW USING THE RUDI METHOD AND IT WONT WORK. NO WINS IN FEB. FOR THE CLINTON CAMP. LET'S SEE, IT'S THE BLACK FOLKS, IT'S THE YOUNG PEOPLE, IT'S BILL, IT'S THE CAMPAGIN MGR.,IT'S JOHN EDWARDS, I'M NOT BEING TREATED FAIR, IT'S MSNBC, IT'S CNN, IT'S FOX NO MORE EXCUSES HILLARY. TIME FOR HILLARY TO START CRYING AGAIN AND THIS TIME I'LL BELIVE HER.

Thank You Virginia! Thank You Maryland! You are intelligent People!! Someone commented, "What has Obama done for you?" Well, what has Clinton done for you"?? Let's see, she had 7 years to put together universal health care; after all those years she comes up with this free immunization for children.... which we already had. Health care clinics have always given free shots to children. She will say or do anything to win the white house back. Now, Obama is more than capable to bring about real changes for real people! This election is not about race. It is about bringing hope and healing to our nation.

i really don't understand when poeple say Mr. Obama Don't have the EXPERIENCE when it's hillary's campaign that is sinking and can't control her own campaign where is you TAX Forms Hillary WAKE UP PEOPLE
OBAMA 08
YOU DON'T NEED EXPERIENCE JUST HAVE COMMON SENSE KNOW HOW TO RUN A CAMPAIGN FIRST BARACK OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN IS FUNDED BY PEOPLE LIKE ME EVERY WIN HE GETS IS $150.00 FROM ME NOT PAC MONEY LIKE HILLARY OH AND YES IAM 32 WHITE SOCCOR MOM

People kept speaking about Hillary's experience, yet I never see any facts backing these comments. We know nothing of her record in the white house (not that the wife has a record) because she keeps them hidden. Her senate record is less than impressive. What has she done for New York that is worth mentioning?!?!?

Sherri asked would you hire someone with 7 years experience or 18 months. My answer is if the more experience person (humor me) Hillary's record reflects bad judgement, being outwit, no major accomplishments and bad blood, then I'd pick the less experienced person. There's always a diamond in the rough, that only the truly gifted will notice. If you research history mostly all the great people throughout history were led by a vision, a plan and became great without experience. Was MLK experienced in leading a civil rights movement? Was Neil Armstrong experienced in space travel? Was George Washington experienced at being President? Was Ghandi experienced in the non violent movenment? We have become a nation of followers and never look for greatness.

Please tell me what has Hillary done? What legislations's has she drafted? What is her voting record on issues that pretain to american citizens?

She voted to authorized the war, sorry to give Bush more leverage, and he outsmart her, so that says alot about her intelligence. The UN inspectors were begging us to give them intelligence that meant something and he pushed his agenda and she signed it. I have no voting power, but through research and listening I knew that was a dumb idea that made no sense, but she didn't and voted for it. However, any senator would vote to fund the troops so the stupid comments about Obama supporting funding the war is nonsense. You don't have to support that war but you support the troops!

Black votes are equal to white votes, hispanic votes, asian votes and so on... They count as ONE vote, ONE voice... So to say the Blacks are carrying him, is ignorance... Hillary had the African vote because of her electibility and Blacks where afraid Barack Obama didn't have what it took as electibilty. Saying blacks vote for him because he is black, is under minding our views and our beliefs as a ethnic group... and under mind the view and beliefs of those who support him that are not African American... This is being told to you by a 18 year old voter.

No matter who gets nominated, barrack or hillary, – republicans are going to take the house. barrack winning the nomination will be a great inspirational bed time story or hillary winning as the nominee may make women proud... in the end... REPUBLICANS KNOW HOW TO WIN it all.

Mary True
your quote "Female leaders all over the world have out shown male leaders far and away". You probably haven’t travelled around the world. All the countries ( Pakistan, India , Sri lanka, and Phillipines) had female presidents/ PM's but they were disastrous leaders.

The only exception is, may be, Indira Ghandi, but she too made a terrible mistake by sending troops to the Golden Temple ( The holy shrine of the Shiks), and she paid the price, with her life. Hillary authorized this merciless irag war, and I see a trend here. Nobody should vote for a candidate who authorized this war ad let us into a quagmire.

Please do not take this personal, but this is a fact not fiction, and judgment is more important for a president than artificial experience.

Consider this:

If Obama happens to be white. Do you think 85 -90% of the AA will vote for him?

Certainly No!!!

I am not gullible. I just happen to believe Hillary can get more done than Obama.
Hillary has a past just like all of us do. Hillary's past played out in the media. Obama is new. He has a past and it will come out as well. He has not had to sit in the hot seat yet. He has not had to answer the hard questions yet.
Talk is great but we need more than that.
I am sure Obama is a nice guy, but I am not voting for the nicest guy/gal. I am voting for the one I think can get the job done.There is more at stake than some people realize.
Change is good but at what cost?

Obama 08!!!!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama is half black and half white...seems like the "other" half is catching on....way to go Obama!!

Sure, Obama is winning white votes, and good for him. And good for white people who vote without bias or prejudice. But blacks aren't voting for anyone except Obama. This has got to be frustrating for Hillary. I hope to see more of her on the campaign trails in WI, OH, PA and beyond!

Obama won almost EVERY demographic, including hispanic, elderly, and even FEMALE votes. He won handily even without the black vote. Independents and Republicans are even coming over, voting Obama in large numbers.

He will soon win this nomination, which is great since he matches up so much better against McCain. His time has finally come.

DEMS 08

obama gets 90% plus of the african american vote.... Time to wake up white America

John Glenn endorsed Hillary today. CNN did not report it. Why?

Everyone talks about Clinton's experience that she has gained over the years. Experience has meant a lot to me in the past when choosing a candidate, but at this point, I consider more experience in Washington a liability. It seems the longer a candidate has worked in Washington, the more filthy lobbyists they have on their back. It's disgusting.

"Sure, Obama is projected to win at 0% when the Republican side is "too close to call", how can CNN claims to be superior than Fox when it's equally as "fair and balanced"? "

Read the actual article Robert. They "predict" that Obama won based on exit polls. They only call the race AFTER the polls close (so as to not influence the late voters) and if there is an overwhelming exit-poll measurement to one candidate at their many precinct sample sites (selected from a wide range of different ethnic, economic, and age mixes) they can easily predict a "winner". They may not be able to say what the final %age is. But the fact that they called it based on exit polls suggests it was a landslide.

The Republican race is likely much closer....and thus impossible to call.

This is simple, simple statistics. Really!

Oh this is great. CNN projects that Obama won Virgina 3 minutes after the polls close, And you can't say that the media is against Hilary??? Give me a break.

I like Obama, and if he wins the nomination then thats great, I will stand behind him, but dont think for a minute that Hilary won't bring change either. Both are good candidates who bring good values. For those who think Hillary is just another political machine, be aware of what Obama is also doing on the campaign trail. Both candidates are throwing mud at each other, yet the attacks that get published are only the ones Hillary's party is making. Do you hear of any endorsements that Hillary has received? No. The media is giving all the attention to Obama and slamming on Hillary. Its all propaganda folks! Look at what the candidates offer and make your vote based on who you think is the best candidate, not who the media is praising!

MARY TRUE
Her work record in Congress is legen??!!!

She didn't show up to vote for a critical issue like our privacy???

I just don't get all this talk about experience. Obama actually has more elected experience than she does. I think his community activism and organizing (as in getting people to work together ) has to count more than her time as an attorney and on the board at Walmart. Her time as a First Lady just doesn't count for experience. So what if she met heads of state as first lady? She never had a security clearance. PLEASE do your research, people.

So many people are complaining that black people are voting for him because of race. Well i'm a white middle-aged woman and I've voted for him. I know for a fact that many women are voting for Clinton because she is a woman and unfortunately white men are voting for her because they are afraid of having an African-American for president and they would rather at least have a white woman than a black man. Disgusting but unfortunately, racism is still here.

I suspect many of those on here are actually Republican trolls who want the weakest candidate, to foment racist dissension, and a race that drags on and on.

That benefits them...NO?

The problems with our economy are because of two reasons:

1. An unaudited federal reserve
2. 729 military bases over seas.

Of course our nations economy is in trouble. No one has ever been able to finance an empire of this size without eventually falling prey to the sting of terrorism and discontent. This isn't a question of America being weak, this is a question of America being made weak.

Our founding fathers are tossing in their graves. The system was set up in such a manner because the creators of the constitution understood this could and would happen. For us to ever have a chance again we need to focus on the HOMELAND, and maybe then we will have some SECURITY.

Remember that every dollar printed at the Federal Reserve devalues every dollar in your pocket, bank account, kids savings account. And since this organization is currently unaudited we will never know the true amount of money printed.

I hope and pray for my country.

Remember for democracy to work we need an educated voting base. Investigate for yourselves. God Bless America.

Ok,
What experience did Bill Clinton have in foreign politics? Zip. Now Hillary says that experience is what's needed. Obviously not. Experience means nada. Kennedy didn't have it, (yes Bay of Pigs happened, but so did Cuba Missile Crisis in which he didn't listen to the generals!), Nixon sort of had it, (face time with Kruschev) but he carpet bombed Vietnam to no avail, yet broke the ice with Beijing(trying to wedge out the Soviets). It all comes down to character and how you react as President. I actually think whoever is the best poker player would be better at foreign policy. Reagan had zip experience, bluffed Gorbachev in Iceland , and they reached a far reaching agreement that almost eliminated nukes. The Soviets went bankrupt trying to keep up with our build up which may have led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Of course, a great opportunity to help and forge a new Russia vanquished with Bill Clinton's inability to recognize it. Today, we live with that legacy and a new Russian superpower dominated by an oligarch (or oiligarch) for years to come.
All in all, you look at Barak and you trust him, can you honestly say the same about hill and billy?

I see a lot of African Americans working and supporting Hillary Clinton, every American has the right to vote for the candiate of their choice and we all should respect that right. It seems to me that both parties are jumping on the Edwards/Obama platform that change in needed, unity is needed to make that change., how can you disagree with that? Hillary Clinton has recently jumping on the bandwagon and that's a good thing, let's see what happens.

To Hilliary Supporters. I know it's tempting to spend this as a 'black' win for Obama or he is the 'black candidate'. But the fact is that 49% of white democrats voted for Obama and a ton of independents.

Without a doubt, he should be the democratic nominee.

YES WE CAN!

The Clintons are the past Obama is the future. If the choice were McCain or Clinton in November , I would vote McCain. If it is Obama vs McCain...It is a much closer choice and I would probably go for Obama.

Wake up AMERICA Obama is a show man all talk no action.
Don't you get it. If Obama wins the republican are going to eat him up alive and in goes McCain. The Clinton's have HELPED the blacks in this country and now the blacks have turn there backs on the Clinton's. Bill Clinton should close his office in Harlem. Hillary trained Obama in the NY senate and now he wants to look like a hero. Hillary is an honest lady and has service this country well Obama is just a copy cat Edwards theme was for change and hope and he copy Hillary's plans on the issues. He waits for Hillary to give her speeches first then he copies that too.
You go Hillary I believe you can do it! Obama is changing what ?

Sue, you may get to vote for Hillary.....if Obama lists her as the Vice President candidate in November.....

I agree 100%. It might seem a little discouraging.

Wolf is probably having a party on CNN. We will invite him and OPRAH to our
piñata party here in TEXAS.

They want analysis on everything. They should anylize themselves and why this country is so screwed over.

FOR ALL THE HILLARY SUPPORTERS.....DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED

THIS IS THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME......A BAD QUARTER

DONT FORGET THE FOURTH QUARTER COUNTS THE MOST

LOOK AT THE GIANTS. TRIED AND TRUE.

I believe Hillary has the strength, stamina, and the power to bring on all these people, including the media.

Send her your most positive thought. Trust me, have faith in her, stand by her, and she will be our nominee.

HILLARY SUPPORTER

Obama he is going to win this election. The people are speaking. I f you add all of the tragic things this country is involved in and dissappointment people feel towards the republican party. This war has divided the republican party. How people were treated during the hurricane katrina incident has a factor in why people are voting democrat. The housing market is dead. The country is headed toward a recession because of all of the disasters that have happen in recent years. The people feel left out. Now there is a breathe of fresh air Barack Obama.

Clinton voters have far more in common with Mc Cain than they do Obama.

It is getting VERY scary that we can elect a HYPE artist into the white house.

Mc Cain needs to put Huckabee on the ticket or he will not win.

Obama cannot win the latino vote or the mainstream vote from Mc Cain.

Suggesting that Clinton supporters are voting for Obama in the general election is NUTS.

Good ol Liberal Obama is going to win more votes from independents than Mc Cain. So much more that it will literally turn some swing state.

California will be at risk if Obama is the nominee. Mc Cain is liberal enough for older democrats, and latinos will support Mc cain.

You IDIOTS are making a HUGE MISTAKE.

It is not about blacks or white issue it is all about change and opportunity to the people who work hard every day and night to have a piece of the American dream. We all want to have permanent solutions to our problems not temporary solutions like welfare, drugs or war. It will take three presidents to fix the mess Bush and his dad created so Bill Clinton by her side she can be a very informative vice-president with Obama being the president who will conduct good politics. I HAVE FATH IN HIM HE WILL DELIVER WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL (IF HE DOESN'T LOOS HIS LIFE AS JFK DID).

Obama’s false sense of security will soon be hampered by the reality that many of his votes are from Republicans to prevent Hillary from winning the nomination.

Hillary supporters stop drinking the Hatorade already. It is not a black or white issue but since you are taking it there, lets look at the facts here. How white can you get than Maine, Nebraska, Idaho, and lets not forget Iowa. Please spare me. The spin on that is dull and if she keeps it up, she will be fighting for her life in Ohio and Texas because many of her supporters are being turned off. I know I was.

Obama 08 Now shut the Gate!!!

I find it ridiculously funny that many people use the campaign to predict how well a candidate will do as a president. For these "inspired" voters, I have to give you an example: George W. Bush. He won the election, not once but twice. See the result?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Those mislead Obama supporters should realize they are fooled again this time by a different candidate with cheap talks.

Judy, Virginia is 18% African -American. Where do you get 75%? Another mis-informed Clinton supporter. Race has nothing to do with it! Hillary in an un-indicted criminal and tax cheat. Only the mis-informed/un-educated don't see that, oh that's right that is here demographic!

Okay, Obama voters are gullible. How about believing that Hillary can deliver on healthcare when she didn't the first time around? She already tried, remember?! How about believeing that a Clinton White House won't be mired in scandal from day one–Hillary had as much to do with Whitewater as her husband did? How about believing that someone who has accepted cash and favors from an extraordinary number of PACs and lobbies won't be cashing in favors once she sits in the White House? Give me a break. I like Obama. Maybe I'm gullible. If so, aren't we all?

Kevin i would like to think that what you say is true but if it were, Obama wouldn't be getting 85-90% of the black vote. That Wake-UP call you placed needs to be heard from our African American brethren as well.

So why do some of these posts seem to imply that a victory matters less if it is won by "black votes"? I am thrilled to have a candidate who united voters across racial lines, and to see so many African American voters who felt disenfranchised in the past participating in politics and lending their support to such a promising candidate. Electing Barack Obama demonstrates what is so great about this country: Americans are unique in our ability to reinvent ourselves, moving beyond even the most painful aspects of our past, like the legacy of slavery. Look at all the places in the world where age-old ethnic conflicts still lead to suffering and political despair. If this country can go from enslaving Africans in its early days to electing an African American president of the United States in 2008, we demonstrate the very principles we profess to believe in: equality, opportunity, and progress.

"Blacks will vote Obama because he is black plain and simple thats why Oprah likes him no matter what she says. I like Hillary so GO Hillary!"

This comment (and many others) disappoint this country and conversation so profoundly. As we all know, racism is based in ignorance.

And this comment above is based in ignorance.

If you do your research, and have been paying attention, you'd know that at the beginning of the race, African-Americans were very divided over who to vote for. Many didn't believe Obama represented core African-American issues. Instead they credited Clinton with being more in tune with those issues. This was reported over and over in dozens of different types of media (not all MSM).

It wasn't until the Clinton's miscalculations, missteps and frankly poor politicking in S. Carolina that really solidified African-Americans behind Senator Obama.

And it carries forward today.

Obama is the only one who keeps saying "there is not a black America, a white American, an hispanic America, an asian America... there is the United States of America."

And while you may believe those are just empty words and rhetoric. I (and millions others) believe they are a creed that this candidate has lived by and will live by for the years that he will have the privilege to be in elected office.

And obviously, it's not a reality yet. But Senator Obama has a vision and he's sharing that with us, and we agree.

Black people have voted for white candidates for years, why can't white people vote for ONE black candidate?

Hillary will not pull us out of the war! That is what we need to focus on she has been for this war since the begining. We need to rally behind someone who stands behind values and dosn't go along what everyone else is doing. Clinton will not defeat McCain because she will not draw any independent votes away from him. Give up Clinton's we need a real leader.

Obama 08

After reading these blogs I am even more convinced that the true democrates, those that are going to vote democrate whether it's Hillary or Obama support Hillary and the Obama crowd is not necessarily committed to the party but to the candidate.

It reads like this: I Love Hillary but will vote Obama if nomincated.
I love Obama and i won't support Hillary.

This so called "new" electric is only there to get there way or not at all.

Maybe if Obama looses, he will run as an Independent along with Bloomberg.

TINA PLEASE. WHO DO YOU THINK BLACK FOLKS HAVE BEEN VOTING FOR DURING THE LAST 50 YEARS OF ELECTIONS.......... I GUESS THEY WERE PREJUDICE WHEN THEY VOTED FOR BILL IN 92 AND 96......YOU TALK AS IF ONLY BLACKS VOTED FOR OBAMA. 48% OF WHITE VOTED FOR OBAMA. STOP CRYING WHEN HILLARY GETS HER BUNS SPANKED.

First of all, youre right, its about voter turnout... secondly, this is what my ancestors fought for....To see a QUALIFIED man like Barack Obama win the presidency. IT IS NOT SAD THAT BLACKS VOTE FOR A BLACK MAN!!!!! ITS SAD WHEN YOU VOTE FOR HIM SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS BLACK....Its sad when people REFUSE TO VOTE FOR HIM BECUASE HE'S BLACK...He is experienced, US senator for going on 4 years State Senator for eleven....community organizer..experience doesnt equal how loooooong youve been in office....it means how EFFECTIVE you were with the time you were given. Hillary is cool, I'll settle if it comes down to it...but i can't trust her.

OBAMA 08

Experience. Experience helps if the same thing happens again. Wit and intelligence. The guts to shot for the moon on a dream. The ability shown in the management of this campaign. These things make leaders. Lincoln had no real experience in national politics. Wilson was a college president. You don't practice leading a country, you envision it.

Here's a voice from Texas: I'm an older voter (that's supposed to be part of Clinton's base). I'm a woman (ditto). I'm from Texas (supposed to be in her column). There are a lot more like me down here. And I only know one person with my demographics \who is for Clinton. ALL THE REST OF US ARE ENTHUSIATIC OBAMA SUPPORTERS. Clinton has badly miscalculated. She won't make it to Pennsylvania because she won't make it past my state.

carl, they project winners according to exit polls not to numbers showing after 1% recording!! Duh!!

Enough! This should not even be an issue as to how many African Americans are making up a percentage of the voters. How are we going to unite when even the news brings race into the campaigns. I say GO HILLARY and she will end up in the White House!! I just want the race issue and the bad talk about Bill etc to stop. This does absolutely no good!! No wonder our country is in the mess it is!! The news is very biased as I am sure you have also noticed. THey do not want Hillary to win and will bring in all the negative press. My vote is for Hillary and only Hillary!!!!!

Come on people do not let the press put the white dems against the African american dems. That is exactly what they are doing.

I am a smart white woman and I can tell you with 100% cofidence. I would NEVER vote Billary!!! They have had their time Dear God please let it be OVER!!!!!

Tina,

Your who argument is totally wrong! Blacks are the only race that has consistently support White Candidates!!

Blacks have voted for Kerry, Clinton, Kennedy's, Mondale, and every other White Dem. candidate that has run for president!!

If you are White, are you voting against OBAMA because he is Black!!

Are you voting for HILLARY because she is white!!

Why should blacks feel bad for voting for OBAMA!! We think he is just as qualified as the other candidates. The Problem is, YOU DON'T think so because he is black!!

STAND STRONG FOR CHANGE (OBAMA)

OR

FALL HARD FOR THE SAME (Clinton's)!!!!

Hillary's almost out of artillery!

Reading this board makes me really happy. I get to laugh while the racist are crying. Go Barack!!!

People keep mentioning the African-American vote as the reason Obama is winning and it's very frustrating. Obama has also one the whitest states in America (Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc.) Is it the black vote that is helping him out there too? In addition, because an African American votes for Barack, why should that mean they are just voting their race? Can't they be just as informed about their candidate of choice as the white man who votes for John McCain or white woman who votes for Hillary? Barack also has a substantial portion of the college vote, in similar proportions to the black vote though I rarely see people insinuating naivety there. Please check the ignorance at the door...

Obama won 58% of women vote and 48% of white vote.

Everyone say's Hillary should drop out so we can support Obamba. SHE'S AHEAD! GET REAL AND GET SMART! GO CLINTON'S! BILL WAS BEST SO FAR!

Congrats to Obama! I need to make another small donation! Let's see if the Clinton's gameplan of waiting for the latinos in Texas (which make up 40-50% of the democratic votes!!!) and the people in Ohio can help her. I hope it turns out like the Guliani situation where he tried to wait and couldn't overtake the field.

I hope he wins Maryland and DC. And I hope he gets the endorsement of John Edwards this week which will help Obama in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky.

I have been watching Barack very closely. I like the way he is running his campagin. Barack has an enormous ability to pull together a pool of great talent to get things done! These skills will be needed in the next President of the United States.

Michelle Obama was interviewed by Larry King on CNN last night. Michelle is a credit to all women. We all should be proud of her!! Way to go Michelle!!! You made us proud!!!!

YOUNG PEOPLE: GET OUT AND VOTE!!! MANY GROWN-UPS THINK THAT YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED, AND ALSO NOT REGISTERED IN YOUR COLLEGE AREAS AND WILL NOT VOTE. MANY GROWN UPS STILL THINK YOUNG PEOPLE ARE FICKLE, GET CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT OF OBAMA AND WILL NOT VOTE SINCE YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO BE REGISTERED!!!!

REGISTER TO VOTE AND SHOW THEM!!!

GOD BLESS!!!

Did anyone see the convo between the woman from her campaign and Wolf Blitzer tonight? LOL! "She won Michigan" Wolf: "You can't say she won, Obama name wasn't even on the ballot." "Well, she won. Florida too." Wolf: "No one even campaigned in Florida. What do you think these states would say if a real primary were arranged?" "I think they have already spoken. Ha! They will say absolutely anything. And it doesn't have to make any sense!

For those of you consumed by the fact that Barack voted today; he has missed 38% of his Senate votes, McCain has missed over 60% and Hillary 23%...

america, lets try someone new,we had clintons before is time for obama,experience without commitment is baseless,change is better

Would you hire someone with only 18 months experience or 7 years experience? Inspriation or Substance? I truly don't see the debate on who is best suited! HIllary 08!

Obama can change the world...wow, if that isn't worth voting for then I don't know what is. The planet will be a better place if he wins... and we are smart enough to vote our gut.

Joe, it is your choice not to support Barack Obama, I do. However, you are incorrect about Sen. Obama's length as a senator and his no vote for the war which tells me you are unclear about any candidates background. With respect to you Joe, do a little more homework on all candidates before you place your valued vote. Don't take my word or anyone elses word, do your own homework and that way you have the correct facts.

if Obama wins the nomination..the republican will win the white house again.

Those who are wanting to polarize our party with the racial split, LIKE LEE, "Why don't majority of white men wake up" Lee, what you are talking about...if you listen to the exit polls with Bill Schneider–Obama's vote was evenly split (except for white women). Obama is starting to tap into Hillary's voting base. If this continues in future states. The margins in Texas, Ohio and PA might not be significant enough to make dent into Obama's lead. LEE, people are voting their conscience, not their race or gender. Wake up buddy, it's the 21st Century.

OBAMA 08

Hillary brings out another four years of divisive politics. This is the kind of politics the Bushs and the Clintons thrive on but American people are tired off. This is the main reason I decided to vote for Obama.

Ha! There must somehow have been a major demographic shift so that a majority of blacks somehow emerged in Washington, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado, Connecticut, Alaska, and Maine. Obama won large majorities in all those States. Yes, it's true that Hillary picked up more white votes in the South than Obama, who woulda guessed THAT!

But he was still pretty close to what she got (25% to 33% in South Carolina)..which says a lot about how far Southern white males have come about the race issue.

Apparently some are still stuck like a gopher in a flooded hole on that issue. Bet you that most are Republicans, though.

Luckily all you poor souls who don't believe in Obama still get to reap the benefits of him becoming president. If you don't believe yet – you will later!

YES! Good wins over evil!

Did anyone notice that the Aftrican American vote was only 29%, therefore, people of all races, including whites, latinos etc.. are voting for him. I am so tired of all the breakdown of races instead of accepting that PEOPLE of all races are voting for the candidate they most want to represent them. Let's all move beyond this, everyone...CNN and Hillary too in her speeches. Now she is discounting states because of caucuses or African-American votes etc....how sad for all the people who have worked so hard for her in those states she discounts. What does that say about her character? Obama does not play the race card and has never used that against Clinton including the fact she is a woman. He is fair and honest plain and simple and has shown he is not someone willing to win at all costs or discount the many people working on his behalf, even in the states he has lost. That is the kind of person I want in the oval office...finally.

I am a smart, white, senior citizen and a woman who is supporting OBAMA 100%.

If blacks are voting for him, they probably have reason to believe he will be a great President for everyone. Whites seem to care more about race than black people do.

Sen. Obama never said he voted against the war. If you had just listened to some of his speeches you would have heard that he was against the war and said so publically while RUNNING for the Senate. Do some research before you repeat misinformaiton.

barackobama.com

Sure, Obama is projected to win at 0% when the Republican side is "too close to call", how can CNN claims to be superior than Fox when it's equally as "fair and balanced"? On the plus side, none of their anchors screwed up like those at MSNBC yet, so they are still ok to continue to be the best political team for Obama.

pupnannie February 12, 2008 7:02 pm ET

As long as the primary is in a largely african american area, obama will win. It is too bad that people vote for race or gender instead of the most qualified candidate. It has been proven primary after primary that african americans will vote for an african american. It's really a sad thing.

What an ignorant thing to say...this article CLEARLY stated that the African American turnout WAS THE SAME AS 2004...what part of that do you not understand??? And it has been proven primary after primary that the only people voting for Hillary Clinton are women and uneducated high school dropouts......I don't see you bleating about that!

Hillary is the only clear choice for experience, exposure, and how to dipomatically deal with America and the world. She has dedicated her life to public service and knows the world leaders, we need a NEW approach to our position as a country when dealing with foreign policy. Vote Hillary, she will make us proud to state we are American's again when abroad….

There are many countries that have no issue voting in a woman as President, let's learn from them and not be so stubborn and patriarchal. Let stand together women, it has only been less than 100 years since we have had the right to vote!

While Obama is a great orator, he seems the likely choice, and I will vote for him IF it comes to that, he is not seasoned as a executive leader or a foreign diplomate… How do we want to be viewed, and who will still protect us from future threats???????

VOTE HILLARY – The choice is clear…..

So who is prejudice now where in VA, 90 percent of blacks vote for Obama??
I guess the Clintons were good enough when they wanted something from him and to call him the first black president. Look at just about every primary etc, and the tv coverage where the percentage of blacks going for Obama. Do they know the facts or just voting because he is black? I'd like to see a poll on how many are voting for him just because he is black? Never again call white people prejudice. No one on tv wants to even mention this, afraid they'd be called racist. I like Obama but I also know all the facts and don't vote because of race nor sex.

get all togethetr for a real change we really need this change obama for presidentto all hispanic comunity and the blacck comunity well for everybody we need a real change and obama is a leader a real leader

HOW IN THE HELL IS HILLARY GOING TO RUN THE COUNTRY WHEN SHE CAN'T RUN A CAMPAGIN, HER CAMPAGIN IS A MESS, SHE'S ALMOST BROKE, BILL CAN'T SHUT HIS MOUTH AND SHE LOOKS TIRED. I WANT THE FLORDIA AND MICH. VOTES, THAT'S THE NEXT THING SHE'S GOING TO SAY, SHE WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

What has Obama accomplished? Great question. Here's another one: what has Hillary accomplished? Everybody asks this about Obama, but not Hillary. Obama helped end the death penalty in Illinois, he also co-authored healthcare legislation in Illinois there that gave millions of kids child care. Don't forget about him co-authoring the anti-lobbying ethics reform bill in congress. I live in New York, and besides Hillary's 291 earmarks (most in the senate), that bring pork back to our state, I can't name any significant thing she has done.

I'll take experience and tenaciousness anytime over inspirational rhetoric. You can learn public speaking. You have to earn a spot in the line of tried and true political veterans. You don't put a junior high school point guard into an NBA starting position. Think about it before you get swept away in the flurry of emotion verbiage.

CNN –

Please stop this early projection stuff. It's irritating and affects voters in states whose polls are still open. Can't you just wait a few hours, and maybe even **gasp** a day?? I will wait for my paper in the morning

OBAMA WINS AGAIN! Stop wining Hilary supporters. He continues to WIN fair and square! African-American and White voters across the country have led OBAMA to wining over 20 states out of 31 contests! WOW! Thats speak volumes about his ability to bring people together, despite their differences. The country will be UNITED and OBAMA will be elected our next President! HOORAY! Obama 2008

Please stop attacking CNN when your candidate loses. It's not their fault that one candidate loses. It's the fault of the voters.... they didn't like/believe/trust what the candidate said.

It looks like Obama is cutting into Clintons voter base also. He recieved a higher percentage of the white vote, female vote, and the female elderly vote in Virgina. This is not a good sign for Hillary.

I feel that the voters who look to Senator Obama for change are totally mislead....down the yellow brick road. He is a very good politician. I will give you an example: his healthcare proposal is with no change from what we have right now. We have millions with no insurance and we will continue to have millions with no insurance.

Too bad the voters bought the hook, line, and sinker............Senator Obama does not represent change! He represents the same ol – same ol stuff with a different spin. It is how he got some of the Kennedys and Kerry.

Wake up America – Senator Obama sings a good line but he cannot deliver! We need Hillary Clinton for the White House! Not a pipe dreamer!

I would love to hear how Senator Obama's healthcare plan is different than what we now have here in the US. I have read his proposal on his site. Still shows millions uninsured and on the taxpayers dime. That is NOT CHANGE – it is more of the same with candy coated words.

roger-
well, he did not actually vote against the war. He was NOT in a position to vote against it-he was a state senator and was NOT even in the senate. Once there however-he continously voted to fund the war-so you see-not much to go on is there?
Hillary 08

No one else noticed he lead among women yet?

Jason-

Obama has more experience as an ELECTED official than Hillary Clinton, both in terms of both State and Federal positions and years serving. He's run in more races, has recorded more votes, and as an official faced more primary and General election opponents. Hillary has approximately two years more SENATE experience than Barack.

In that time she has voted in favor of the Iraq War Authorizing Resolution. Today she was absent from a vote that gave retroactive immunity to Telecomms if they allowed the government to spy on US Citizens without warrants...something that was already a crime. Obama was "present" and voted against allowing Telcomms to violate the law and the Constitution. Hillary was off campaigning in Texas.

whites like Barack an awful lot too... he won every single county in WA, and he's doing tremendously in many "white" states like Nebraska or Idaho.

Stop playing like this is "race." I hope people vote because he's a great man with incredible spirit who mobilizes formerly apathetic or disenfranchised voters of all nationalities (and genders).

His movement is going to be history no matter who wins. This race will be legendary.

We need someone who knows the drill to fix what this country now faces abroad. Do you truly see Obama doing this?? I don't. Change = Hillary. No more promises we need action.

Pupnannie--You should know by name it is not about race! He won in many states with mostly white people.

By the way, I live here in Virginia and stopped two black people. Theydid not vote and had no plans to. It was a mixture of folks who voted for Obama in Virginia.

Im so proud that latinos vote for what the know is true as who can lead and not because of color! If we did we would have pushed hard for Richardson but we know what is right is so sad to see what i see!

Does anyone get a sense that the Republicans are messing with our nomination process in these open primaries? I just don't see a whole bunch of southern Republicans voting Democratic in the fall. Hmmm? I guess we'll just have to wait to see if this tranformative "movement" shows up in November.

Obama is a smooth talker and has the young vote going for him. It’s time for HRC to stop giving excuses about why she is not winning and get out now so the party can organize and get a good Vice President going. The faster they do that the worse for the Republicans who are still divided.

God Help us All Obama is the projected winner

I cannot believe we are going to elect a "fresh face" once again. Hillary Clinton is the best thing that could ever happen to this Country. Her work ethic in Congress is legend. Barak Obama is a nice guy but he is not tough enough nor savey enough to be President of this Country. He'll be a great choice in 8 years. This country just wants someone who can get things done. Hillary can do this. He won't have a clue. Let's elect a smart woman for a change. Female leaders all over the world have out shown male leaders far and away. Men haven't done such a good job lately in this Country– why not put a woman to the test. Mary True

48% of the white vote are you kidding me? hillary is in deep do do. to much mo on obama's side. not a single win after super tues. for hillary. it's not over yet but the fat lady is warming up.

Jason, learn the workings of the Illinois Legislature before you speak. "Present" is not quite what you think it is.

What are you a Hillary supporter? What's her "experience"? Being the president's wife doesn't count buddy

Good! he is even with white voters. I don't how Hillary is going to spin this. What i hate about her is not accepting defeat and so dismissive of his victories. Obama didn't dismiss Hillary victory in California by saying she won Latino vote. Thats what make him great.

jason, you need to check the facts to see how the present vote is used in the IL congress. do you tend to believe everything and anything you hear? That's why Hil works for you. she doesn't keep her word, look at MI and FL, she knew those delegates would not count. now she wants to win the campaign on the cheap. Obama and Edwards weren't belly acheing about non existing delegates, shows how petty she is. you deserve her. jac in WA

If BillClinton had not brought race into the picture, if Hillary had not compared MLK to LBJ, then the African nation would not be descending on Obama likes flies to bull dung – which Obama has plenty of. Change, change, change. This guy is a salesman, not a leader. He exploits Clinton's political history to define his own. What a wimp.

Obama has nothing solid but the etherial change, „change you can believe“... and you will have to believe it because I don’t see anything concrete. No plan at all. How is he going to do it when he gets to washington with the current political climat. He is going to talk it into being nice with his wonderful oratory? They love him the same way teens fall in love... "It looks good..." Get ready America, he will vote present at the UN, he will invite Chavez, Puttin, Osama to the White House and dazzle them with „Change you can believe“ and they will have to believe it because he has never done anyting. Do we not deserve to know what that change is? How does he plan to do it in the current political environment in Washington? Did President Bush have the same promises and the same "I'm an outsider" slogan? Where is the beef?? McCain stands for something and he is not afraid to tell you. Obama rather vote „present“ for political reason... that will not fly with our testy Russia. He will have to take a stand finaly and I guess we will have to „Believe that change is comming...“ because he can say „I never said what the change was going to be...“ We'll be waiting for him and take the White House again because democrat party is still dizzy and confused as ever!

Sorry, but all I really know that Obama has actually done or accomplished is to vote against the war. Has he done anything else? What has he done to improve my quality of life? I'm looking for a competent president, God knows we've had an incompetent one for the last 7 years. America cannot afford to make another mistake.

OBAMA WON!! YAWN. . .

He only seems to do well in two kinds of states: ones with lots of blacks and ones with lots of feel-good liberal whites who wouldn't ever consider living in an integrated neighborhood.

Clinton has broader support. She will win the important contests down the road, and will take the nomination.

So black participation was the same as in 2004? What gives? I thought Obama voters were "all fired up"? Just goes to show him for what he is - a media creation.

Way to go Obama!
Looking forward to you becoming The next President of the United States.

Jason.. You may want to know that Barack's opponent didn't even show up for a key Senate vote on privacy today. You may need to wise up and try a new put down.

You continue to bring back up the present votes in the Illinois senate (which are accounted for if you were intelligent enough to research and not believe every word the campagins say) yet Hillary didn't go back to the senate to vote on Warantless wiretapping legislation, which is a huge privacy issue. If she won't vote for our rights as citizens, how do you expect her to stand up for us in the white house?

At least he showed up to vote yesterday on telecom immunity. Hillary Clinton is my Senator, and couldn't be bothered to show up. She's too busy using her office to run for President to do the work of the people. Obama was there and voted, along with EVERY OTHER member of the Senate besides Hillary Clinton. So take your "present" comments (which have been proven by IL journalists to be a part of their process) and answer me where my Senator was yesterday. Chris Dodd said it was time to determine are we a nation ruled by laws or a nation ruled by men. I guess Hillary's no show proves she's all for spying on US citizens and ending civil liberties as we know it.

when is CNN and the media going to state the fact that the democratic polls show that what it has shown is that the majority of African Americans are voting on race lines-not isuues or ability to run our government. CNN is repeatedly stating how the white vote is going both ways..why not talk about the race card with the black vote>>
If you are afraid now what will you do during the presidency??

What experience does Hillary have?? Oh yeah, she was the 1st lady... yeah right....

Hillary better hope every mexican in America comes out to vote for her in Tx, Ohio and Penn or she is toast. It may not even get that far.

Go Obama.

What experience does Hillary bring to the table so to speak? Hillary..."Marriage" doesn't count!

Smart people in Virginia ( THANK YOU )

Jason if you would take the time to research , you would know that Obama has loads of experience. The kind of experience GREAT leaders need.

I think it's time for us all to wake up and get involved in our democracy. Minorities have always been the X factor, and this election won't be any different. I have to say that I'll be glad when you all discontinue judging us by our race; however, I understand this is America and racism consumes our every being. I'm an African American and in 2004 I voted for John Kerry, as I'm only interested in voting for the most capable candidate. This year I'm for Sen. Obama, not because we share demographics, but because he's the undeniable best candidate running this year. African Americans and Americans of all races STAND UP; fight the media prejudice by VOTING OBJECTIVELY!!!

Hillary 2008!

Lets wait to we see Texas and Ohio!

Here we go again. WE get it. Blacks are voting for Obama... Whites are voting for Clinton... women... we could continue to break the numbers down until we can't stand ourselves. Please quit spinning this crap down our throats. As someone who supports Clinton, it makes little difference where the votes come from just as long as they come – VOTE, please, and the next time a pollster asks you what your preferences are, simply say a US CITIZEN

This doesn't strike me as a measure of turnout but, rather a measure of the ethnic make up of the turnout. In real terms, turnout for African Americans could be much higher than 2004 but, if non-African American turnout was also much higher, the proportions would be the same as 2004.

Jason...everyone has a starting point

I don't think it will be close in November. Here's how I see it:

Huckabee vs. anyone – a sweep for the Democrats
McCain vs. Clinton – a blowout for McCain
Obama vs. McCain – a resounding victory for Obama

I feel that the voters who look to Senator Obama for change are totally mislead....down the yellow brick road. He is a very good politician. I will give you an example: his healthcare proposal is with no change from what we have right now. We have millions with no insurance and we will continue to have millions with no insurance.

Too bad the voters bought the hook, line, and sinker............Senator Obama does not represent change! He represents the same ol – same ol stuff with a different spin. It is how he got some of the Kennedys and Kerry.

Wake up America – Senator Obama sings a good line but he cannot deliver! We need someone with experience and best prepared for the White House! Not a pipe dreamer!

It's morning in America!

Obama 2008!

He has more years as an elected official than Clinton. That is real, substantial experience.

Jason:

Hillary didn't even vote today (Telecom Immunity Bill) and all of the senators were in Washington. So you can't harp on Obama's "Present" vote when Hillary didn't even bother to show up!

Billary can't win the general without the black vote; Obama can't win it without the Latino vote. One or the other is going to be disappointed no matter who wins this. It looks like it's going to be McCain sitting in the White House.

I was wrong not a single vote needed to be counted,

Barack Obama is so obviously becoming more and more arrogant every day...... God help us!

What experience does Obama bring to the table so to speak!? Barack Obama..."Present" doesnt count!

THERE IS NO REASON FOR HILLARY TO DROP OUT, SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WORTH VOTING FOR. AMERICA IS IN BAD SHAPE AND A ROOKIE OR AN OLD PERSON WON'T DO IT!.

BEST QUALIFIED 'CHRISTIAN ROOTS' CANDIDATE!!

Thank you for your extraordinary programing.

So we are going to have another republican president, if the Obama is the democratic nominee.
Did you people know why kerry lost in 2004. All the hispanics votes have gone to Bush. It is going to happen the same this time. McCain will get all the hispanics , if the Obama is the nominee. McCain has good relationship with hispanics.
Huckabee will be the runninmate of McCain.
So he will bring all the conservative and evangilical votes.
McCain will get all the moderate and republican and hispanicas votes.

Come on now Clinton will turn things around in no time. Clinton is a fighter and a fighter never quits.

Sorry, but all I really know that Obama has actually done or accomplished is to vote against the war. Has he done anything else? What has he done to improve my quality of life? I'm looking for a competent president, God knows we've had an incompetent one for the last 7 years. America cannot afford to make another mistake.

It is not about African American or Whites,It is about VOTER TURN-OUT

AMERICA MUST VOTE FOR HILLARY, VALUABLE EXPERIENCE AS A POLITITIAN, She has proven to be strong in time of crisis, she is a go getter, persistant, dedicated and no fear of competition and personal and political attacks. SHE IS A LADY!

SHE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE BEST STRESSFULL SITUATIONS, THE WORLD HAVE SEEN THIS IN HILLARY CLINTON.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT! I WE SALUTE YOU MADAME PRESIDENT!

"The disparity of feeling between these candidates is akin to that which separates a painting of a sunrise and the thing itself. From the former you get a sense of grandeur, a thin notion of possibility. From the latter, we awake, warmed and stirred to rise in response."....this says it all....i will vote for hillary if she is the nominee.....but, i'd rather be inspired......

Clinton is saying anything to make it seem like shes not going to lose... she doesnt want to lose support, she needs to face it, all she is doing now is taking support away from the person we all need to be rallying behind, Barack Obama!
Clinton will not win Texas or Ohio either, she needs to step down and endorse Obama so that we can ensure a Democratic President.

We'll have the results in two minutes after polls close, so we can turn it off and fix dinner.

OBAMA WON!! YAY!!
