CNN

Julie, Binghamton, NY – do you realize that you just made Obama's argument? He can bring EVERYONE IN!!!

And to those who are saying its just a trick to beat him, in all the races yesterday, Obama's vote ALONE was more than both McCain and Huckabee put together!!! Not considering the Hillary and Edwards supporters who will vote for Obama in the genereal elections in November when he becomes the nominee.

Its not that hard to figure out, the Republicans are just not excited about their candidates. Obama will win!!!!!!!!

Obama 08 and 12!!!!! YES WE CAN!!!!!

TEXAS FOR OBAMA!!!!

Yaaaay! Anybody that beats that Clinton woman is all right with me! Who ever it is! What ever he is! I can't wait to watch John McCain get sworn is as President!

Why do some of the Cllinton supporters cling to the same old political spin even after it's been refuted time and again? They call Obama supporters sheep and yet all they can do (not all, but many of those who post here) is parrot thair candidate. Obama has specifically defined change numerous times in numerous ways. He talks about a change in power -taking it away from special interests and lobbyists and putting it in the hands of the electorate again. That's the central idea. He also taklks about a change from the politics of fear- where leader use scare tactics to influence public opinion (The commies will take over! The Terrorists will attach at home! He's too unseasoned- the country will blow up!)
He has enumerted in great detail the specifics of his plans and positions. It's all easily available from multiple, reliable sources, and not merely from his website. The thing is, the ones who say "What change? He doesn't even anser that." Are either lbeing deceitful, not listening, or are grossly uninformed. The fact remains, the platforms of both democratic candidates are almost identical. Obama is the more effectie speaker. That may not make him more qualified, but it certainly doesn't make him less so. Do the research in the interest of fairness and honesty. There is plenty of substance.

Am I the only person who's afraid of TIMBOK & Terri Cane? Do they really live in the same country as the rest of us?

Experience – Washington insiders – Back room politics...

If you always do what you always did – You always get what you always got!

It's time to change the old guard – Think outside the Box!

That's why the youth is behind him – it's a new day! The world is watching.

So much more can be achieved – YES WE CAN! OBAMA '08

Hillary and Edwards have problems loosing. in Obama stomp speech, Hillary is personaly complimented. He targets her policy. Evertime she stomps saying Hope and faith is not real, she is poking the eye all who have faith in a greater power than them that has brought us to this wonderful day.

Edwards sold Kerry out. If he changes his change position to support the Status Quo as he put in a november debate, more power to him, he shall have his reward, while Obama is sitting in the White House. His support and endorsement are already moving towards Obama. Those needing more detailed answers about Obama or Hillary can easily visit thier website. Be proactive and wll informed. Then we all can pick the best individual Democratic cansidate. Edwards earlier question 100 vote out 4000 legislative vote of Obama's. That sounded silly to me. in the 2004 compaign, Edwards was scolled by Cheney of all people for not being present for 90% of his votes during Edwards first and only term as senator. Why would I be surprise about him brokering deals with both camps.

Obama is my choice. Bill clinton promoted change in 1992, He had no Washington DC experience, but a vission some may define as hope.

As a country We have never been successfull in reaching back.

Problems of today need thinkers that embraces the "Now"

Can't we all just get behind Obama and win in November. This is driving me crazy. Put this talk about experience being so important away. Bill Clinton was a nobody, govenor of Arkansas before he became president! He was 46 years old. Obama is a leader and that is what a President should be! Please just rally around Obama and lets look forward to Novemeber. As Obama says, "turn the page"!

We shouldn't make the presidency a family business...

It's time to make some changes.

Obama.

Though I'm registered Republican, I plan on voting democrat in the upcoming election...as long as I can cast my ballot for someone other than Hillary. If Hillary gets the nod, my vote will go to McCain.

Yes Black Power! Finally we have arrived!

It was a tough decision..i used to like McCain, not until I heard him saying "another 100 years in iraq"...i used to like HRC, not until I saw her cried on the eve of NH & Super Tuesday....tonight, I voted for Obama. We really need CHANGE and new leadership in America. Enough said.

Some of these comments are quite amusing; I can't believe people are still talking about how McCain will win in November if Obama is nominated.

Hello? McCain couldn't beat a manikin posing as a Democrat if his life depended on it. Democrats own this election, try again in 4 years Republi-can-fail.

Barack Hussein Obama has only been a Senator since Jan. 4, 2005. He has less than four years in Washington and does not have the experiance to lead the country domestically and internationally. We are in trying times after the last 8 years of president Bush's reign. He is not going to turn around the United States preaching HOPE, CHANGE, and YES WE CAN. What are his policy's? Do his supporters know or just mindlessly chant YES WE CAN?George W. Bush was the last time we had a president with a mediocre political resume. Lets all play sheep again and elect an unqualified presidential candidate. History obviously repeats itself.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't let this one go...Hillary did not beat Obama in Michigan. He wasn't even on the ballot! Florida and Michigan are not going to count because the party, not the candidates, suspended those States. To say that Hillary won is ludicrous. If they want to count those two States, the only thing they can do is to have those States vote again...

people people people....if people have doubt about Obama it is ok, this is all a new experience; they are not necessarily racist. This is politics and of course one makes many promises and deliver as much as he humanly can. Don't be too naive in thinking a politician can deliver all his promises he ain't no Jesus Christ. On the other hand there are some of you that are downright racist (and strangely not all of you are white). For you your fear are irrational and will forever be losing your battles as this is a changing world. Be part os the solution and not a problem, you cannot live your life in fear and/or anger.

Peace

Also to some women out there, just because Hillary appears to be a women, doesn't make her a good choice to be the president, just because she is a women running for the office, voting for the best candidate is the way to go, there will be a women president someday, and I hope it isn't Hillary, I still remember how she was during her hubbys disgraceful presidency,looking at him with adoring eyes, while he did what he did. If she would have kicked him to the curb, I would have had some respect for her.

Err... Ryan... John F. Kennedy was a DEMOCRAT.

There are stormy days ahead if those "intelligent and informed" voters cannot see the warning signs of a misguided, manipulating candidate and television media. Obama will make this country weak to the world with his lack of foreign policy, and lack of military experience. He has already divided this nation racially. He does not have the capacity to make the changes he is promising. He is a typical "say anything, I will do it all, empty promise" politician. The sad thing is the people who so badly want change are putting their hopes in a person who prides himself on making the "right decisions" from the start. These "uninformed" voters will get a slap in the face when his decision to maintain his cocaine habit is brought front and center in a general election. Maybe this type of decision making is acceptable, or tolerable to them.........But not in a candidate to exemplify and lead this great nation!! We were let down in the past by this sort of character trait. I pray we do not blindly sacrifice our integrity once again. I have voted Dem. in the past, if he is the candidate, I am sad to say, I will become a Republican....

Yes, Barack IS stealing the election. Hillary won Michigan and Florida, but we'll never hear Barack admit this. He talks about fairness but doesn't pursue it in his politicall life. Come on Barack. Stand up like a man and insist that Hillary gets a fair election . We hear Barack talk about change, but NOTHING has changed. The elections are as crooked as ever and the voters have been disenfranchised.

Hillary Clinton is the greatest lady in the more than 200 years of US history. Our american people may never have realized this.

She has been tested so heavily and treated so unfairly by the media and webs (youtube and facebook by the organized group of people) since she announced to elect presidency. Compare what she said with what Obama said, we know how they are in the different levels.

Obama is just a black sheep being taken advantage of by the media and GOP to suppress Clinton. Wish Clinton will stand firmly to the end. Otherwise, any GOP nominee will beat Obama easily in Nov. This is the trap and GOP will smile at the last.

White house is white, not black, not to mention this black has no idea what he is talking about. Ask this black to do in white house, may be even worse than Bush. People memorize Clinton era, at least those old days are much better than now.

Has anyone heard? The head of the NAACP wants the delegates from Florida and Michigan to be seated at the Democratic convention. He said if you don’t seat them it would disenfranchise both states' minority communities. I don’t know about Michigan but I think this is especially true for Florida. In Florida the Republican-controlled legislature and governor changed the state's primary date (which led to them losing their 210 delegates). I totally agree with the NAACP guy that if you don’t seat Florida’s delegates it makes the voters in Florida, especially the minority voters, victims of the Republican legislature.

WATCH OUT WITH CLINTON MACHINE IN SUPERDELEGATE,CHEALSE CALLED 21 YEARS OLD to many corruption in there

Strange thing about Tex, it awards delegates based upon past participation in demo elections, so the vast majority go to Houston, Dallas, Austin and East Tex. Southwest and West Tex get very few delegates.

Obama is all empty talk without plan. Just look the leaders from other nations then you will releaize that we will have more troubles in the future once Obama is elected.

Hillary won California, New York, Florida and will win Texas. That's the country. Those are the states you need to get to win the general election. Illinois is as blue as the sky, so that state will go for Hillary in the general election too. She has a backbone of steel. She'll get it done.

OBAMA, OBAMA, OBAMA!!!

Obama's support is downright cult-like. Quick, someone give them some kool-aid at their next caucus.

Obama supporters sound like McGovern supporters ('72)--but even worse is the way CNN has "spun" the reporting of this election---so much of "middle America" will be going to the polls, holding their nose-–and voting Republican! Democrats, and CNN, your blew it!!!!

OBAMANOS!!!

Austin, Texas

Anyone can say they are a us navy veteran to pull at your heartstrings, dont buy into it, the republicans are running scared and will pull any trick

I see that the Male Good Ole' boy network is alive and well. When will a woman, that is far more intelligent, and more qualified, be given an equal chance? If not now, then when? If not Hillary then who?
I see where the discrimination lies in this country.
I am so disappointed. What hope does this give to our daughters?

If Obama wins – welcome to Detroit. That's what the #1 liberal in America will do.

Obama is arrogant, but he cloaks it in messages that people want to hear. He really is full of himself. DUMP OBAMA IN MARCH

Put a bucket under Hillary's face. I think that's the only way she'll win TX, and OH.
For the sake of the party bow out gracefully now, Billary. A respectful departure now may help you in 8 years.

Kay in RI

Obamanos!!!!!!!!!!

I do not know if you really listining to obama speach. Just like a religion one, with much talk and nothing about his program, nothing. us will be in a critical situation. Who will pay, Obama, never. He is rich and has a lot of money. He just got a home in unclear situation......Think about it

Like Patty wrote above......yes we can what??? I haven't heard anything about how this Obama change is going to come about. He is a great inspirational speaker.....I give him that, but there is no substance. All I hear is change, hope, dreams, and how he is going to unite us all. That all sounds just so wonderful doesn't it? It's great to hear, but how or what is he going to do? If he gets the nomination, I'm staying home on election day or maybe even voting for McCain!!!

To NO WAY,

So how many thousands of people personally told you they voted for Obama now and will vote for McCain in November? I think before you continue calling others dumb you should look in the mirror.

I'm very concerned about your moderators allowing 'Open Rebuttals" to comments posted. It's intimidating and wrong: refeference Stacy,Posted 8:33pm and Sarkis, Posted 9:04pm Subject, Obama And base?

NO WAY. You're obviously an idiot and a racist...and you're wrong. Republicans want to go against Hillary. That is the only way they're going to be able to unite. Too many independents are supporting Obama. The republicans jumping over are disgusted with their party's failed policy and petty partisanship. McCain will continue to travel more to the right as November approaches and all of those independents will go to Obama. That's not to mention the tremendous power he has to turn out new voters. Look at McCain. Republicans don't want him. He's not going to inspire any new voters to come out. He's the losing candidate. He has no chance against any democrat. Independents may want him right now, but he will soon lose them as well..

I hope you're a republican. We don't want your racist crap on our side of the aisle.

I agree... it's the ability to Unite the people with clear goals. It's working for Obama. United States will stand a better chance for change with you in the White House. We can't walk blindly yet the country is hurting...

Go Obama!

Can someone tell me what are OBAMA's Credentials???? Great speeches???

That doesn't help run a country..

ALL UR BASE ARE BELONG TO OBAMA!

He's not stealing us, he is EARNING us!

Wake up Obama is a sheep in Republican clothing, He is full of it and has no clue..
Wait till the real Obama rears his ugly head and you will come to know him as I have.

Hilary thinks she can speak to only half the people and win an election. She is no central figure. Obama talks to people, makes them feel as though a vote for him is a vote for themselves. It is a very powerful thing. Hilary makes you feel as though a vote for her is a vote for Hilary and her Ego.

Barack Obama didn't need to steal the base from anyone, it is his for the taking. I am convinced that Barack's affection for Hillary has kept her in a race that she can't win. I'm hopeful that she steps aside prior to the Convention if the delegates are unfavorable. I do think she has accomplished an ability to bring voters out by the thousands, she is a great American and I know that when the time is right, she will do her part in providing the catalyst for galvanizing the Party.

I am thankful that Barack Obama has promoted hope, no one ever lost sleep dreaming of prosperity. In fact it is representative of a theological virtue that the Framers fought to preserve. While much of the world is in termoil, it is the persistant vessel which stays afloat and the constant for mortal inspiration.

I wonder if OBama will offer Hilary the VP spot. That would unite the Dems.

I just hope Obama voters wont cry and bite their elbows if he starts to show he is not what he claims to be... then we will have another forlorn 4 years... hope he will be able to jumpstart the economy... clinton might not be perfect but at least we know our economy was sound when bill clinton was president.

The republicans are voting for Obama so that McCain wins.

Don't the democrats see that .

There is no way that the American people will win if Obama is the winner of these primaries.

Let's forget it the Republicans will win now.

He is an empty suit...the republicans know it.

go hillary

When osama made the race about black and white he started to get more black votes. [My opinion] He's a piece of crap. If he gets the nomination I will vote repub and hopefully anyone with half a brain will also. The only change he can bring is race. Ya'll are brainwashed. Hang in there Hillary.

Julie from Binghamton is correct in her analysis...The republicans are voting for Obama whenever they can...they'll help get him the nomination, then go back and vote for the republican candidate in the general election...have you people been here for the last 7 years...these republicans will do whatever it takes to win. Ya'll go on and ride the Obama train...just make sure you have your seat belts on for when it crashes.

All you "Believers" out there, Obama is not Jesus Christ, your Saviour. I'm afraid that you will be very disappointed if he becomes president...I just hope he gets the help he will need to do the job adequately.

You Obama cultists all have church and Hollywood mixed up with Wahington. Obama is proof that we all watch way too much TV.
And in the process of electing him you will be missing out on having a good (if not great) public servant working for you. What a shame.

Their platforms are almost the same. On some topics, water poured over the two cannot not find a split. So before you say that he is vapid, you better understand that you are also saying the same thing about your candidate. Vapor ware.

I would rather be awaken by a rousing speaker than put to sleep by a wonk.

Well, the clintons had their chance.

1989-92- A Bush
1993-1999- A clinton.
2000-2008- a Bush...
2009- a ?

Did I hear you right hillary, It tool a linton to clean up the white house, who knows it will take another Clinton to--–? come on America, there are other leaders (read families) out there!

I'm a registered Republican, so I could not vote in the primary for Obama, but I hope I can in November!!! Obama '08

First of all, Obama talks about change, change but why doesnt he ever answer what he means by change. He doesnt mean change after all he said his cusion is Dick Chenny so if Obama wins then he is going to be influecened by other people. Obama is young and he is saying all these things and makeing promise which he cant accomplish.

Hey NO WAY, sounds like you are either accusing others of racism or you are a racist. Don't be ignorant. Polls have Obama ahead of Mcain.

It really is great to see the start of Clinton's demise. She really does need to bow out now in order to preserve any future endeavors.

The Republicans are voting for him now to be sure they have him to vote against in NOVEMBER.
Listen to your self (you that are truly dem and not republicans) You have taken up there cause.
You will find that is true.
Think! If the Republicans really wanted to run against Hillary they would not build up Barack Obama. the same as the media will not show videos of Obamo that shows he has lied over and over.

It is so interesting to hear that 'experience' is a negative when it comes to electing a President, but we all 'hire' car mechanics, building contractors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, doctors and sale clerks with experience. The only change we will get if Obama is elected is that we will get another Senator who claims he is not a Washington insider. How much more insider can you get when there are only 100 Senators in DC?

Wake up Americans and ask yourself, what change will we get? Do not tell us about the problems, we in American know the problems . And do not tell us about our dreams, we live with them everyday. Senator Obama it is time to turn the page and tell us, the American voters – what "change" are you planning and what "new" direction are you going?

If Obama gets in. . .look out for another Nader vs. Gore. vs. Bush Hillary backers are NOT going to vote for someone that they truly DO NOT believe in. McCain will pull through just as Bush did. Obama doesn't have it in him! Say god-bye Obama before we have to say. . .I told you so! HA!!

Yes we can win in virginia. now we won in virginia......

Yes we will win in Ohio and Texas......

Hillary drop out from the race.... Give way for the first Black American president. President Barrack Obama.....

Gooooooooo Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........

Obama is the man that will lead us in the future. Hillary please endorse Obama.

Gooooooooo Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....................

What the world will comment if Obama is a president at that tender age of forty's.
Does he had the experince to turn America fortune back like the Clinton adm time?
Would America still get good respect n admiration like before?. What would America standing in the World will be? The World is watching u America?
Your Destiny is in u to chose for the good or for the worst

May God give u wisdom to decide who is the right person to be elected as the president of America.

Good Luck

To Mr NO WAY... you're delusional my friend. Obama would SMOKE McCain. Hands down. He's far to radical to win against Obama. But if you want McCain to win, send Hillary in... Then he'll win for sure and we'll have 8 more wonderful Republican years. Yea, it's been great hasn't it? Our country is in the worst shape it's EVER been in history. Not real sure why republican supporters are supporting their party now... Uh... What is it exactly that they're praising?

What's with the canned applause at the Obama Wisconsin Rally?

Go Hillary!Its not over yet.Wake up people.

Ernest Caldwell, you wake up. We need Independent and Republican votes in the General, not the primaries. Indies and Repubs in primaries skews the data in favor of the Repugs.

I have no doubt Hillary will win the nomination. I think the delegates will be split pretty much evenly, and in the end the superdelegates will decide the outcome. Hillary has much more support in that area, and that is why i think she will win.
She has my support.
Hillary 08!!!

The first black president uh? well, there wsn't one to begin with. The democrats read the African Americans have learnt what the Clintons really are. Please vote wisely, we are almost there. Obama, Mr president. Can't wait.

I am a moderate and I will support Senator Clinton in my primary. If she does not win the Democratic nomination I will vote in the general election for Senator John McCain, another moderate. If the ultra-liberal Senator Obama becomes president I can ignore him just as I have ignored the ultra-conservative President Bush for the past eight years – that is if I can avoid being confined in a liberal re-education camp run by young, blissed-out Obama-istas .

The majority has spoken...enough said. Thank you to all the volunteers for Obama in Virginia....WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

Virginia Voter says: " While I respect Sen. McCain, we DO NOT NEED TO BE IN IRAQ FOR 100 YEARS!!! " I believe it was President Roosevelt and President Truman that sent troops into Germany, Japan, and Korea. Gee, and we've only been there for 60 some odd years..... I'm sure Democrats would never do something like that, would they ? Roosevelt and Truman were Republicans, right ?

Daniel P. Christopher
Patchogue, Long Island, N.Y.

Stacy, just wanted to let you know that most republicans will not vote for mccain because he isn't the crazy conservative candidate and this is way Obama is leading in polls with him by as many as 8 points. He'll win some states that dems don't and if hilary is in she'll lose all the same states and we'll have president mccain and 100 more years of war. No thanks, OBAMA! Yes We Can! Stand for CHange!

Stealing? I don't think so. It's called WINNING. Obama has UNITED the Democratic Party majority behind him – people of all states, all races, all genders, all ethnicities, all religions, all socioeconomic backgrounds. Just because he doesn't win 100% of the vote – yet – doesn't mean that he doesn't draw support from a variety of groups.

I very rarely comment much any more on any of these type blogs since you can't express Hillary support without being attacked by the ones who supposedly are all for change. I guess yu are changing – changing your tactics to the republican smear ones, so good for you – you already have change.
Now tell me--just what is Obama going to do to bring change and what change is he promising? I m tired of "yes we can" – well , yes you can what??????? What are you expecting of him? What will he do to break the partisan gridlock now that will never be overcome since too many democrats already vote with the republicans to advance their agenda against a democratic one? Just what is he going to do to end the Iraq war since he keeps saying he was against it, but now for it since he has done nothing to stop it since he entered the Senate? He is already going back on is promise to bring the troops home in 16 months. Just what is he going to do to get health covergae for everyone other than push the same program as is pretty well in existence now? Sorry, Obama supporters but just what change are you expecting him o deliver because I sure haven't heard anything of that coming from his supporters yet.

hey guys... stop picking on julie. =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =( =(

but... it's true julie... this is exactly why Obama rocks. Woot!

People are fools, Obama is still wet behind the ears.
He does not even understand what the President of the UNITED STATES can and cannot do!
MAN THIS GUY SCARES ME!!!
Yes the destroyer, empty promises and yes he will devide the country.

Texas Born and Raised Here, white woman, educated and married to a latino immigrant man. Having been raised by a long line of closet racists, I am so very glad to break the mold. Go Obama, you give hope to us all that by working together we can come up with solutions for America. It is high time we get back to the root of the issue. As Americans we should help ourselves, instead of waiting for others to help us. Instead of relying on just our government, lets get out there and change things for ourselves. With your help we ALL CAN do it! Go Obama Go! Come see us here in North Texas!

NO WAY – your post is disgusting and some might call it racism. Come back when you have something constructive to say.

Such negativity, bile and spleen against Hillary Clinton. Such Jim Jonesian reverence for Barack. Wow, It scares me. This primary is Ugly.

IN MY OPINION , BOTH CANDIDATES WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE UNITED STATES ON THE SAME TICKET . AT THIS POINT I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO SEE OBAMA WIN THE NOMINATION, SO HOPEFULLY
OBAMA WIN AND CLINTON BECOME HIS RUNNING MATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Obama has the support of the media (CNN, for instance). He's going to win the no mination, unfortunately. There's no hope for americans... this guy will mess the country (perhaps as much as Bush). Well, it's up to Americans...
I don't think I'll follow the election: both Obama and McCain are horrible candidates.

Obama may talk the talk, but can he walk the walk with so little experience? I mean, one Senate term doesn't exactly qualify you to run one of the most powerful countries in the world. What about foreign policy experience? That's why Hillary Clinton is the woman for the job...HILLARY '08!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice to see the Dems as divided as the Reps. I've about decided that maybe we just shouldn't elect a president. We always seem to elect the wrong one anyway, so what's the point?

Obama is a smooth talker with nothing to say. Everyone talks about how good of a speaker he is, but don't have a clue what he stands for–I wonder if he knows.

If I have to listen to Hillary's laugh for four years, I'd have to live with ear-plugs. If I wanted Robin Hood for a president, I'd write him in.

McCain doesn't know which party he's in, but he's so full of himself, it's like putting Bush back in for another term.

Huckabee can't even figure out that he has no shot, so how's he supposed to figure out how to fix our economy.

Romney was the only one who might have actually been the best candidate, but he couldn't schmooze a crowd. In the end, he got rejected because he's a Mormon (at least according to the Wall Street Journal poll.)

I find it interesting that people claim Obama has no stance on issues. Meanwhile, of the two, he flat out opposed Iraq... and while people seem to have put that issue on the back burner, know that everyday people are senselessly dieing over there. Know that there are nearly 30,000 wounded and nearly 4,000 DEAD due to that decision. Those are REAL numbers. Now let's go back and ask, who's stance has switched? Her support of the war is reflected in those numbers above. I s'pose it was just a mistake. Who is emotionless then "instantly" emotional when convenient? who has swapped campaign managers? who has concluded that the smaller caucuses and states are won by activist, literally dismissing the vote of the people. In the past weeks, ask yourself who has really demonstrated flip flop behavior? then ask yourself who has campaigned from the position of the underdog (a position I think many of us find ourselves in), and proven that with a plan and a good team, you can change the future and alter reality beyond all expectation. Really, It's right in front of your faces. To deny the obvious is absolute insanity. In our house, our hopes are with Obama.

Mr NO Way this is for you:

For your information Mr Bush does not know crap about running a nation, never knew crap about running a nation, and does not care to know crap about running a nation. All he wants to do is RUN A NATION INTO THE GROUND. In fact he has been so full of crap that "all he can know", is his own CRAP.

Where did you get this enlightened view from, A ceral box? It is folks like you who want to keep this country in the dark ages of fear mongering, race baiting, and economic slavery for 85% of this nation's citizens.

Do us all a favor. If you have nothing to say- Don't say anything at all.

To Mr. SAD DAY... take a few minutes and go to Obamas website. Everything he stands for and all his plans are CLEARLY described there. Hillary on the other hand, has nothing but empty promises with NO substance. Educate yourself before you vote. She promised universal healthcare before when she was first lady, then knuckled under to the BIG BUSINESS health insurance companies and was paid a HUGE kickback for walking away from it. She's a JOKE. A typical politician. Blah Blah Blah... but no results. Please don't waste your VOTE on her.

Clinton is trying hard to steal Obama's style. Now she's even playing U2 in her rally in Texas. Pathetic.

Wow! I am truly perplexed by Amercian politics. So far, Mr. Obama has shown he is a great orator. However, he also exhibits an arrogance and conceipt that is hidden under his slick veneer and Americans are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Wake up America. The phrase "caveat emptor" comes to mind. "Buyer beware" of what you are electing. I think that when you peel back the rhetoric, what you get will not be what you expected. So far, NO ONE has challenged Obama's record either in state politics or in the senate. Once McCain begins making Obama's mediocre record public, Obama will be finished. America will once again be "rewarded" with a Republican President who will keep the country at war.

For the prosperity that Americans enjoyed during the Clinton years, Hillary is now being vilified. Ingratitude comes to mind. The diviceness that resulted from Clinton's personal discretion was purely a Republican ploy to detract from his good work. What happened in his personal life should never have seen the likes of a Ken Starr or had $50 milion wasted on an investigation. And to be impeached for this was the ultimate hypocracy. Mr. Bush lied to go to war, is responsible for murdering innocent civilians, as well as killing and wounding thousands of young men and women; throwing his country into an economic nightmare; and trampling on Americans' consitutional rights. However, he is not being impeached for crimes against his people.

I am actually happy that Obama is doing so well in the primaries because when he goes up against John McCain, he will LOSE. He has no experience. This will become public once the next round of debates begin. And then, as they always do, Americans will remain risk averse (as they should given the current state of their country) and resort to electing the devil they know.

America open your eyes and use your heads. This is one of the most important elections that will ever be held. You have so much at stake. Don't go for the glitz. Dig deep into Obama's past; do some homework. You will find out that he is not what he appears. He is only a junior politician who can give good speeches. Don't discount Hillary Clinton for the wrong reasons. The Clinton era wasn't all that bad and she has shown incredible strength and perseverance to run for President. Don't be afraid to elect a woman. Women know how to get things done. You need actions and not words to get you out of the mess your country is now in.

Obama is like all politicians...they promise you the moon to get elected but when it comes time to deliver...nada,..zippo...zilch...remember..he's a first term senator, black, and young...a sure fired recipe for FAILURE! At least Hillary has a ton more experience on the inner workings of the washington machine. I'll bet anyone any amount you want, that if Obama gets elected, you are all in for a rude awakening! Making flowery speeches amounts to a whole lot on NOTHING! He is definitely the master of the one liner, but really...ask yourself...what's he done in congress? Just check his voting record, you'll be shocked and disappointed. As for that nonsense about voting against the Iraq war because he thought it was a "bad idea"..how quick you all forget that the case for going to war was presented as a "just cause" and 80% of you were all for it, including Colin Powell, that is, before everyone found out it was a bill of goods based on lies, sold to us by the Bush administration. SOoo..that means Obama really voted against it, even when it appeared to be just, so, if that's the case, can you even trust him to defend America when the situation calls for it?

Poor Julie, she's taken a lickin' for her comment. But Jules, they are correct, even if they are not gentle. You make a strong argument for Obama and against Hillary.

But hey, we are all having fun, we are learning, we are involved I think both Clinton and Obama are winners and it's a shame we have to select one or the other. Not many of us saw Obama coming until he whacked us across the head with his powerful message and capable campaign.

I can't believe I'm not voting for Hillary. Never would I have thought I would vote for someone other than Hillary. I am very "pro-feminist" and have done my part for the cause. However, a better candidate to my way of thinking, has emerged.

White, middle-aged man in CA. Hopefully Obama will give her a p

aaaahhhh...the power of rhetoric. if Obama actually ever said anything when he opened his mouth, I'd think about respecting him. for now, he's just using his orating skills and charisma to spout nonsense. of course, Americans being Americans - accustomed to buying into shallowness - they are listening.

WAKE UP PEOPLE,,,,,,,,he is not Martin Luther King,,,,,,,,,are you people out ther afraid of a female president........why dont you check out what she has done for this county and compare it with Osama Bin Laden,,,,,the mulims are financially supporting him,,,,,,,,,,,Wake the hell up,,,,,,,,if i promise you the moon and stars will you vote for me....................!!!!!!!

BECKY NORTON.... I am a 55 yr old woman, caucasian and a liberal. Before you give up on the possible Dem nominee, Barack Obama, and vote for Mr. McCain (Pro-life, a WIN in Iraq w/100 yr occupation, more Supreme Court judges like Scalia, Roberts & Alito...etc...), check out Barack's website for the information you may be looking for. If you are concerned about the "issues," his positions are carefully spelled out. Don't be a "Hope-Hater" ......... after 8 excrutiating years of the Carl Rove politics of FEAR, HOPE is what we need!!

How can people claim Hillary has the experience to hit the ground running if (IF) she gets pres. Last time I checked, she has NO experience as a president. So that makes them both kinda even

Also, don't be fooled TEXANS. Hillary said that wins in states that do not vote democrat do not "matter to her". So she's trying to say your vote does not matter? I'm voteing for someone who appreciates my vote.

TEXANS FOR OBAMA!

CNN and other media should be credited more for Obama's wins and since voters are like herds and being fed with biased news, a bit of cross voting,i.e. Afro Americans and Ultra Right Clinton haters forming the core, with highly rheotic polished scripts, the fake momentum will be there. See what will happen to that. Texans cannot be be faked.

BTW : If Obama expects to be the next JFK,hes gonna be shot in about 3 years into his first and hopefully final term in office.
History repeats it self,especially with Democrats in charge.

To those Hillary supporters injecting race still in this Shame on you!!
Time for the Billary to pack up.
Winning Eight elections in space of 4 days is not "a few wins" as some Hillary supporters are saying now for Obama. He will win next two this month also making it 10 total unanswered wins for Obama before the big day on March 4th. No way she can catch up with his BIG MO now !!!
And it is time for Edawrds to openly support Obama. What is he waiting for??

To Senator Obama supporters.........please think of this:

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 over the weekend and today 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.

Go with a leader who has proven time and time again to be strong, intelligent, and can beat the Republicans for the Democratic Party and all of us.

FELIPE and other HEALTH CARE VOTERS:

Take a look at independent analyses wherever you can. There's a virtual consensus on the comparison between the two plans: they will both leave out around 12 million currently uninsured. Contra the CW, Hillary has so far hid behind the cloak of rhetoric, calling it universal doesn't make it so.

Further, I don't understand why she gets such good faith when it comes to health care, when her task forces secrecy and arrogance, and her insistance on a mandate set the entire cause of universal health care back 15 years and counting. Her job was to make sure we had a universal plan in 1993.

you at CNN are inflating the demographics in women voting for Hillary and losing her base. Many black women are voting for Hillary not her base!!!!!!!!! last week, the states di dnot make up as many blacks as this week.
Also in stating that she is using Guilani's stratgy in going for th big states, how can you mislead people, she has been in this all along and done all the states.

she is being fiscally conscious as any CEOwould be, in making a big play for BIG results. If as a business person you have X dollars to spend to get X result< where would one be most likley and spend most responsibly?????

use your heads and stop spinning for Obama. Coulter is right, if he were pereceived as half white he would not be doing nearly as well!

Go Hillary

Obama is all talk, no actions. NO YOU CANT!!!

You are all so naive if you think that Obama is going to be able to beat the republicans. If you haven't noticed the republicans have been beating up Hillary for months. If Obama wins, when the republicans turn their focus on him they are going to rip him to shreds. The republicans are not going to stop pressuring him when Obama tries to spin his racism wheels (like he did with Hillary). The republicans know they will never get the black vote so they will go after him full force and his cries of racism will not deter them one bit. Look at the 19 states he has won (14 of them were caucuses) far less voters. Obama is carrying young voters and black voters this is his base and the republicans will never get these votes so what vote is Obama taking away from Mccain. None. 60 + voters , latinos will vote for Mccain over Obama. I would love one day to be proud of the way the people in our country voted. Last two times it was the guy you would most likely like to have a beer with and now it's the man that can deliver a good speech or I should say the same speech over and over and over again. Maybe I'll be proud in the 2012 election.

Did you notice they are not showing the race (black,white and the rest) in the exit polls? yes he got ALL THE BLACK VOTES!
But he will not get my white vote!!!!
I thought they (blacks didn't like racist people!
Hillary can't sat anything about race as he does.)
The media is setting him up for the kill in NOVEMBER!

i'm happy that obama is getting an equal share of the white vote,it shows that people are looking at the candidates as equals. i'm most disturbed by the huge ratio of black voters for obama. it appears that they are the group that can't see past race in the campaign. the polls show that many (not all) are simply voting color.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA..

nothing else needs to be said.

although i will add.. perhaps president obama can make hillary clinton the secretary of health in his administration.

Thank the lord that a new future is coming after the 8 year tyranny of king george, filling his friends pockets with money....money tinged with the blood of our fathers...sisters...brothers...mothers in Iraq. I doubt he sleeps well at night.

I am so proud to be part of this democratic party! Obama and Hillary....we can't go wrong!!
I think a woman in the highest office would be a much greater change than another man regardless of his skin-color. I like both.....but I do think Hillary has been unfairly torn apart by the media whereas Obama has enjoyed this rock-star treatment.
He is admittedly an amazing speaker...but Hillary has amazing substance, experience and shouldn't be as unlikable as many make her out to be.
I'm disappointed she's not doing better. I really wish she'd succeed!
Having said that I will definitely support Obama should he get the nomination.(they are very similar on the issues) I'm fair and proud of this party!! They are both brillliant candidates!

What's this talk of "stealing"? It wasn't 'owned" or "owed", there is no "stealing".

Barack Obama inspires hope, change and the future. It's a great thing learning about Barack Obama; his history, his experiences, his stance on issues – and guess what – you then become enlightened and you support Barack Obama.

It's way too obvious citizens (woman and men, black and white, poor and wealthy, AND young and old) are rallying behind Obama. That is what it takes to win a nomination and unite a nation that is divided.

It was so annoying when CNN kept explaining Obama's win in South Carolina on the "black" vote, as if we can't think for ourselves. WELL how do you explain his wins across this entire nation (which African-Americans only make up 12% of the total population and only half of those vote). Do the math. It's time for CHANGE.

OBAMA 08!!!

Black voters are voting based on race? And just who have we voted for in every other Presidential election - since we were actually allowed to vote without being targeted for beating, murder?

Has anyone doen their studying here? Barack Obama does to a racist church, check the website out. I can't provide the link as cnn.com will reject my Blog once again.

Texas please bring us back home! American make the right choice, do pick someone who has almost no political expereince compared to somen with vast experience.

Obama is all talk and he refuses to accpet debate invitations. We need to bring thios country back and Clinton is they way.

too many people are voting for Obama but have no idea where he stands. don't just go with the flow; that does not represent change!

FELIPE and other HEALTH CARE VOTERS:

One thing that I'm really noticing about you hard core Hillary supporters.. you REALLY like to throw race into this when Barack's side tends to talk about Unity. Its really depressing and almost as bad as conservatives.. I mean really, stop and read what you are typing here.

Who CARES what race or gender is voting for who??? The people want change, find it in your hearts to be colorblind and maybe you will find change within yourselves.

For those who are worried about the substance in Obama's positions you have a point. John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich were the ones with substance on the issues. But the press and the populace wanted the story to be Barack and Hillary. Now that it is between these two it has to be Obama. We haven't just been through seven years of the worst president in American history, we've also been through seven years of the worst opposition party in American history. The Democrats have been lousy and Hillary is the rightful heir to that onus. (Tonight they went along with increased surveilance on Americans). Obama is not ideal and we shouldn't be blind about his shortcomings. But the Democrats are finally going to run an anti-war candidate. They should have done it four years ago.

With all the closed/open primaries, the resulting conspiracy crossover voting, Super Delegates, together with the obvious race and gender issues, this election is turning out to be more controversial and better than this year's college football Bowl Championship Series and all the American Idols put together! Wild Wacky Stuff! A crazy and maniacal soap opera! I generally hate the two-party system, but this year is awesome! Maybe we can see Congress have to break an Electoral College tie this year! Please baby, please baby, please....

Signed,
The Stirrer of the Pot

Look up THE CLINTON CHRONICALS on google. THEN tell me you want to vote for Hillary. LOL. If so, you're so incredibly stupid, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

DUMP OBAMA IN MARCH. This guy has exploited Clinton's political history to define his own as the new and improved brand of politician. He has relied on race to futher his ambitious grab at the nomination; he sells hope, unity and change to market himself. This guy is a salesman and people are buying his self-promotions.

Dear American,

The World need Clinton.

Incidentally, Senator Obama has called for Hillary to release her tax returns, but she steadfastly refuses to do so. Why ? Is she trying to hide something ? Like where the $ 5 million she recently "loaned" ( from whom are they going to get it from to pay it back ? ) her campaign came from ? How did she raise such a huge sum so quickly ? Oh yes, I forgot, the Democrats represent the " average American ". Perhaps it was from all those $ 10 contributions from average Americans. If not, where did it come from ? Hillary, will you answer this question ?

me, first of all, please learn how to spell. Secondly, how can you call Obama a divider? He is brining people together. He is healing our nation – NOT dividing it. If you were to hear him speak, you can make that judgement. Until then... I pray you check your facts.

As a loyal Democrat, I have only one thing to say about Hillary: If Bill finds the company of other people more "stimulating" than his wife, shouldn't the country do the same when it comes to their next President? OBAMA for President!

Barack Obama just won Maryland. For all you Obama haters out there, it's okay to admit when you are wrong. Wake up people. It is 2008, not 1868, and I believe many of you wish we were all still in 1868. So sad!!

John yes she did congrad him on his victory.Besides the gay guys like Obama's butt anyway they just said on CNN that the gays are the ones who voted for him the most. And also the woman and the young woman like his butt too.Thats why he's winning big. Its so pathetic .

Obama stealing Clinton's base and Clinton steals Obama's speeches. I can not believe the speech I just heard from Hillary in El Paso, Texas. She took the words right out of Obama mouth. WOW – - – Hillary this will not work, YES WE CAN!

Undecided voter, loking at Obama. He has won the white ,gun token, Republican
western states, that will vote Republican in the fall. He has won the south. Since Johnson, in the fall they too, vote Republican. Today in Virigina, an open primary
when means, Republican,Independant and Democratic gets to vote in the Democratic primary. By exits poll 30% of his votes were from registered Republican. Will they vote for him in the fall? Open Primary Obama Wins, Closed Primarys Clinton Wins. Still thinking.

I want to congratulate both candidates. Both Hillary and Barack would make great leaders. I think that it just is a time for a candidate to move us forward. The future deserves a leader with a vision.

And for all of you saying you'll vote McCain...more power to you and your 100 year war and tax cuts for the rich. Go on with your bad self...

The Obama Dreamers! Stick to the real issues and ge tyour heads out of the clouds, obviously it will take Texas & Ohio to see through this I have a dream song, hope, etc. I want o hear about what you are going to do. I'm tired of the biased media coverage and how you the voters buy into this propaganda. IF HILLARY DOESN"T GET THE NOMINATION< I WILL CROSS OVER, so that my heads are atleast not in the clouds.... HOpe is not going to buy my ticket..
EXPERIENCE HOWEVER WILL... Go Hilllary

Unity! Let's go democrats unite to beat McCain! Obama!

got to agree with Julie. dont you obama hama nama rama folks get it? yeah the independents and republicans are voting for the black man, simply so that he can be nominated over clinton because they are smart enough to know that if it comes down to bama and mccain that then the independents will vote for mccain and the black man no way will get the job! they know that if now they vote for him they dont have to worry about losing to clinton. its all called lets play a game of tag, get the black man nominated so that we vote for the republican when it truly counts and put bama to shame when it really counts. and the stupid blacks are dumb enough to vote for him simply because he is black like them and to dumb to see the tag game going on. wake up folks, you have a losing candidate in bama, no way will he win the presidency.

Hillary had this sense of Entitlement!! ..........Hmmmm
We're on counting on You TEXAS!!!!!!!!
OBAMA08

The divisive Mrs. Clinton never really had a base. She just told everyone she was going to be the next president. Her only thought was that she had to go through this 'messy' business of primeries, etc., to get the nomination. If she had her way, there would have been no primaries.
The base hungered for another choice, a better and they scored, big time, with Barack Obama. Not only did we get a better candidate, but we were finally able to learn who the Clintons really are.
Voters aren't running to Obama, they are running away from Hillary and Bill. And, they can't get there fast enough.

This is for NO WAY; We have no choice. It appears it's either going to be Obama or McCain. We are in trouble with either!!!!!! Is it time to move to another country? You know, they are all laughing at the US as it stands now. With immigration the way it is... well let's just put it this way... it's like being in a different country anyway.

It's odd how hillary supporters, or maybe they're republicans, are talking about the southern democrat block. Last time I checked, neither of the last two democrats won a single southern or plains state outside of florida. Gore couldn't even win his home state on TN for pete's sake. One southern state besides florida and he wins in 2000

So claiming that somehow Hillary will fare better in the south is a nonstarter. The fact that Obama can engerize people from all backgrounds to vote has to be terrifying to both party establishments.

I'm looking forward to some new/young ideas coming to Washington.

All of those "Yes, we can" people: what "can" you do? All I ever hear from Obama is "change" and "hope", and at times, he mentions what he won't do...but, what WILL he do? Hillary gives me concrete plans...pretty good ones too. Obama has laid very little realities on the table.

Hillary and Obama supporters should stop being stubborn by saying they'll vote for McCain if she/he doesn't win. While I respect Sen. McCain, we DO NOT NEED TO BE IN IRAQ FOR 100 YEARS!!! I'm an Obama supporter, but if Hillary gets the nod, then I have no choice but to vote for her. If you vote for McCain, you have no one to blame but yourself for an endless war and a sinking economy.

In the end, it doesn't matter who gets elected. The people who are really running the show will eventually control the next president. McCain's a maverick, Hillary is scary, and Obama will be the easiest pawn.

I was listening to Clinton's speech tonight, finally she was saying what I wanted to hear regarding clean energy & new jobs in America. Before the primaries started I was 100% for Clinton, now she simply won't get my vote because of her actions & I'm for Obama. Her speech is too little too late, but then I seen how she wants to win at all costs, & there is no chance she'll ever get my vote. Lets get someone with some common sense & can relate to real people in office.

Obama 2008!

i will never vote obama. he is poetic, but i don't want a poet to lead the country. I will only vote for hillary. At least hillary says what she will do. i will vote mccain over obama.

We in Oregon will not be voting until May.

Basically, we have NO voice in this election.

It is a sham to call this a democratic process.

I applaud my friends who don't bother to vote, because they have already realized it is a crock and for too long I did not see the light.

Between the parties manipulating the primaries and the media, it is all crap.

You are about to see the "true colors" of the Clintons as their campaign continues to crumble......mark my word.

Barack is good for our country.

What that old lady said to Obama in the south?........."FIRED UP!!"......................................................."FIRED UP!"

i am proud of obama,your are the hope and change that 1. America needs and 2. what the world needs ..Obama is the man for the world....we support Obama because he represent a TRUE CHANGE...Clinton represent the old way of America is trying to change from...go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is great , however Barack is so likeable. Her campaign can't take that away. You are who you are. As I said ,she is really good. Barack has something special though. You just want to cheer for him. Hillary shouldn't start going too negative. She has to know it wouldn't be good for the party. She needs to stay respectful. This is for the good of the party. She has to know its not about her.
If she is the decent person I think she is she will do the right thing.

the Obama folovers are like these mice following blindly the first mouse to the river where they will drown! He divided the country, he divided people, he divided the party. he is the divider, destroyer, empty promises, just watch. I will not vote for him.

You people are really pushing the limits with these "journalistic micro-aggressions" directed towards Senator Obama.

HE is not "STEALING" Hillary's base.

HE HAS EARNED THEIR TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE VOTING FOR HIM.

As this race comes to a close and Senator Obama becomes the Democratic candidate. "Let it go" – He will be the candidate for PRESIDENT and more likely than not he "will be" the next President of this great country we all call home.
Stop the subtle smears. Exercise integrity in your journalism.

Obama can't steal Texas! TEXAS IS CLINTON COUNTRY and we have lots and lots of delegates! El Paso Miners will rock the vote for our girl! This race just got started. HILLARY 2008!

Go A.Nkansa! We started the O-train here in Iowa back in January and it's great to see everyone coming together to back Obama. Yes We Can.

Fired Up...

Get ready Hillary fans for the crying game. She'll probably start weeping around March 3, before the big vote. "Rumble young man Rumble" OBAMA 08!!!!!

Hey Felipe, why don't you elaborate on "Obama is dragging all you idiots into his false hopes and lies……Just watch" What lies specifically has he told and why is his hope false? Are we now at a point where a candidate cannot speak of hope for the future? Are you simply comfortable with doomsday color coding? Don't be so juvenile with the name calling and get down to specifics. If you are going to accuse candidates of lying, show the evidence. And do you really believe that anyone in their right mind would speak of hope and not mean it?

Jake – California:

What planet were you on???? She was talking down about Bush and they booed Bush for his policies..........are you nuts or what? Duh – get some brains between those ears! I'm sure they are there.

Just watched Hillary in El Paso a bit. It would have been far more graceful for her to have waited for the Patomic results and then gracefully bail out of the race. She is a divisionist and is committed to drowning the Democratic party, as she goes on and on and on in El Paso. Hopefully, people in TX won't buy her divisive effort to discredit the party in '08 by draining its resouces in lengthy Democratic primary. We are counting on El Paso and TX to help her understand, she has to quit, VERY quickly at leat AFTER she loses TX.

On the day of the critical primaries in the mid-atlantic, hillary is off to elpaso texas to soothe her wounds....go figure? She must really care about her supporters throughout the country! "Dont worry about them dems in the mid-atlantic, We just want the delegates"

Not sure how CNN or anyone can claim Obama is stealing Clinton's base when over half the states in the union have already voted–whether super tuesday or the January caucus/primaries. Furthermore, Clinton would be well ahead of Obama if anyone bothered to factor in Michigan or Florida. Funny that the press isn't commenting on the "what if" scenarios in terms of how that would affect Obama's count NOW rather than how it *might* play out in the democratic national convention. It IS time the press focuses on Hillary but of course, she's already old news to some and hated by Obamans–those who want "change" and state they'll work across the aisle. How about just working or at least not bashing those in your party?

These numbers don't sound good for Hillary. I'll wager to say that Wednesday is going to be the start of the real mud slinging from the Clinton camp.

Stacy and the rest of you fools saying that people are voting for Obama because he'll be easier for McCain to beat:

How do you explain EVERY SINGLE POLL over the past 8 weeks? I know, I know, polls are meaningless like we learned in New Hampshire (lol). And, just in case you hadn't noticed, the better Obama is known, the better he does. The reverse is true for Senator Clinton.

Oh and... to everyone that says we're making a mistake supporting Obama, and that we'll see...

How about, just wait and see how right we are!

Oh I see--because he's black he "steals" her base...haha. Just kidding. Go Obama!!! We've come a long way...I love to see the pundits totally confused on how he got here....

I dislike Bush,not hate.
I hate Clinton and Obama even more.
But when people proclaim : Carrie February 12, 2008 9:02 pm ET

Change is coming!

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

It makes me sick,because Obama has the same thinking of Che' the person people love but in reality was a Communist/Socialist killer!

Obama wants higher taxes
Will do nothing to keep Illegals from coming into this Country
Will pull us out of Iraq,and suffer defeat – and give up all the hardwork our troops have done in Iraq.
He likes the idea of calling babies that our born after a failed abortion legally "dead"

Don't care about what you guys think about my opinion,but Obama – McCain – Clinton – Paul – Huckabee are not the "change" or the right candidates to lead this country.

One more thing,you wouldn't vote for Saddam would you? Why would you vote for someone with the same middle name?

YES WE CAN SURRENDER OUR NATION TO THE NEXT GROUP OF IDIOTS,YES WE CAN! I bet he got that from Eddie Murphy's the Nutty Professor =
Barack Obama's nutty campaign

Yeah! I am so happy Obama is winning- thie white female thinks he is great- and exactly what the country needs! Hillary- step aside- and wait for your cabinet post!

Now Hillary has something else she can shed tears about.
"Ohhhh, Ive done so much for you black people, and you are deserting me....I care so much for your latinos, and look where youve gone...ohhh, boo hoo."

I am sick and tired of hearing about the preacher OBAMA. All he is talking about is CHANGE and HOPE. Change what ? For the worst and HOPE for the best? Come on America. Obama only have sweet mouth. He is saying that he is going to change America and the world NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! My friend only God can do that.Hillary is a very good woman hard working and stand up for the people of this country.Empty barr4els make the most noise if you know what this means.The media CNN is very bias. They let people believe that OBAMA is this Messiah sent down from heaven to heal the world. Come on CNN. HILLARY! HILLARY! HILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLARY. The right way to vote.

dude, you guys are off the chain....Hill may not be fully ready to become a women president, but without a doubt, she can offer a lot of positivity to the world, and with obama...they are not only a winning team for America but the World!!....

i am like them both...i wish they would stop spending so much money attacking each other and combine both teams and make this country the country it USE TO BE!!!!

Yes We can! the days where big corp's dictate how the country's economy should be run will soon be over in the name of lobbyingwill soon be over.. bush has messed up royally and the sad thing is that he's going to be laughing all the way to the bank when his tenure is over.. good thing is that he's going to go down as one of the worst or lets say the worst president this country has ever had. the lobbyist's have not funded obama's campagn and they will not run his white house. quote. that is what we need.. a situation which will allow decitions to be made for the benifit of the general population, instead of of the big sharks i.e. the big corp's. this is the past vrs the future. I'm marching into the future with Obama! which direction r U going???? I'm not voting for him because he's black. I'm voting for him because he's brilliant. and thats what this country needs.. Obama 08!!! Yes We Can!!!!!!!!

If Obama is the infomercial (which he isnt)....then Clinton must be the car salesperson who do anything to get you to buy.

Just because you see the media cover his speeches, it doesn't mean that is all he has. He has plenty of policy positions, but opts to address the nation's empathy deficit rather than drown the people in policy detail that can change in specifics under a fluid economy.

Obama for president. change, change,SPEND, SPEND. We canadians can almost taste the our dollar rising as obama nosedives the U.S. dollar! you go boy,my hero. yes you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those traitors. Don't they know they're supposed to vote for a woman just because she's a woman? Here come the NOW-NY rants.

if the two choices for presidency comes down to bama rama and cain pain, this nation is in for a world of trouble even worse then the bush era! neither of the two know crap about running a nation yet know bringing one together for a better life! better pray continuously 24/7 if either one of these fools are elected as chief!

Anyone else sick of Hillary getting ALL of the air time?

Yes We can! the days where big corp's dictate how the country's economy should be run will soon be over in the name of lobbyingwill soon be over.. bush has messed up royally and the sad thing is that he's going to be laughing all the way to the bank when his tenure is over.. good thing is that he's going to go down as one of the worst or lets say the worst president this country has ever had. the lobbyist's have not funded obama's campagn and they will not run his white house. quote. that is what we need.. a situation which will allow decitions to be made for the benifit of the general population, instead of of the big sharks i.e. the big corp's. this is the past vrs the future. I'm marching into the future with Obama! which direction r U going???? I'm not voting for him because he's black. I'm voting for him because he's brilliant. and thats what this country needs.. Obama 08!!! Yes We Can!!!!!!!!

I'm glad to see moderating forces becoming active in government again and backed up by the individual citizen. The 61 – 19 vote for Obama in my racially and economically diverse precinct certainly seems to be a microcausm of what is happening nationaly.

My concern with Clinton is that, even if she were to be elected, it would lead to the continued divisive and damaging political wrangling that has inflicted this country since the Republican revolution in 1994. It may not really even be her fault, but it would be what she represents to a large portion of the country. I want to move on from that era. I want Barack Obama.

HEY CNN!!!!
STOP REPORTING THE SUPER DELEGATE PLEDGED VOTES!!

HILARY IS NOT GOING TO WIN THOSE EITHER.

Im hearing so much about race in this election. I remember, when I was much younger, Martin luther King, in a beautiful speech told us....That the day will come, when a man is not judged by the color of his skin.....but the content of his character.....A white male in Tampa, florida voting for our best hope, Obama

I will not vote for a first generation American to be commander in chief, I might vote Obama's children but not him because to me he is still not 100% American.

YOU SEE HOW NASTY SHE IS. SHE DIDN'T CONGRAD. OBAMA ON HIS VICTORYS. O.M.G.

Look, I was listening to Hillary's speech in EL Paso, TX right after the result of Virginia One of the first things she started with was to insult President Bush in Texas...Hillary is not smart! At her own rally, the crowd responded negatively when she did that...

You can't insult Bush in Texas?

She's going to lose..this thing no doubt....Once she loses Ohio and Texas, this whole Clinton thing will be over...

There is nothing stronger than 'the voices of millions calling for change'

Many people say that Obama represents "change". What kind of "change", they don't say. Can someone explain what he is going to change ? Remember, the President does not write the laws, nor can he raise taxes or spend money, the Congress, i.e. Democratic and Republican politicians do. So what exactly is going to "change". ?

To Dan W.:

bush talked about doing all those things, while doing the exact opposite.

There is a difference.

Change is coming alright.. I'm going to vote for a Republican for the first time id Obama is the nomination.

...and one last thing before I go back to watching the results come in. I see many of you here basically saying "why won't Obama debate Hillary?'" followed by comments like "she would own him".

Well, got news for ya' doubters~he HAS debated her and so far I think the OWNERSHIP of this race is clearly his. Sure, he pauses between answers and is not quite as silver tongued on his feet as Senator Clinton (practiced answers?) but if we all voted based on this George ummm, ummm, George uh uh Duh-duh-duh Double U Buh-buh-buh Bush would never have won in 2000.

Hillary can do this, Obama is all talk one completed year in the senate.
Senator Clinton gives specifics she has substance she wants us to hold her accountable. Am I concerned about where we are at in the Clinton Campaign of course I am. But I have not given up either will Hillary not now not ever.

Felipe-
You will eat your words...
You think Hillary is sincere??? I think we know who the idiot is...

Heres' a white middle aged woman in NY for Obama. Yeah!!!

Looks like I'm adding my Hillary pin to my collection of failed nominees - including Dean's and, in frustration after Kerry's nomination, a Nader pin, as well.

I can't support Obama. And deep down, I don't want to support McCain. This is the first general election that I can vote in, and quite frankly, I don't want to.

I just love how all the political pundits are trying to make this a "soap opera."

Karl Rove. . .imagine Karl Rove being a pundit. This is a disgrace to the viewers.

Then Pat Buchanen. . .throwing his two cents worth in. I can't understand what he is trying to say because he changes his mind every day.

Finally, all three major cable companies are now showing Hillary in Texas after she lost three more campaigns. Unimaginable!!

You pundits. . .just report the news and let us intelligent voters hear what is happening. . . that Senator Barack Obama is moving ahead to victory. Do you think Wisconsin, Texas and other large block states are being moved because of anything you say?

Most voters don't care what the "pundits" who change their view each hour have to say. We are voting from our hearts. . .and for many and for me. . .my heart is with Senator Barack Obama.

Writing all this, I realize my future posts will be "Under moderation." I'll take that risk and post under MSNBC.

Obama 08!!!!!

too young, no experience........did I mention experience. We need Hillary..who has the experience......and ready to go once sworn in..............GO HILLARY!!!

Let's all grow up and stop writting crap, as Democrats we have two great candidates. And who ever wins we have to pull together or we will never win the race to the white house. Let's face we can not do it if we are divided. I am proud to be a democrat and have a samert women and great man as the last two candidates. Can I get an Amen!!

ON ELECTION DAY THE WEATHER WILL TURN OUT THE VOTES OF THE NEXT PRESIDENT! THERE JUST HAVING FUN NOW.

Uh ... "stealing Clinton's base"?
How about "earning", "wooing", "converting", or "winning" – I'm sure there are other and better choices than 'stealing'. C'mon CNN, word choice matters – embarrasing.

Barack Obama has integrity and 25 yrs of experience, and that's why he is winning. Clinton has self destructed with all her claims of entitlement and her false allegations and smear attempts.

Ya, Hugo Chavez was also supposed to save his country. And the whackjob from Iran was supposed to be the savior of his country.

The Obama crowd is a bunch of "sheeple" that will be sorely disapointed. That is of course, you like paying higher taxes.

I suppose you people think it is fair for subprime bailouts, mortgage bailouts, stealing money from people who make more than you do....I suppose you think that illegals have a right to be here. No wonder why your jobs are being shipped overseas... Complacency is a job killer.

Hillary said that OBAMAS wins on Super Tuesday do not matter to her. What, she doesn't care about PEOPLE'S votes? She also said that they don't have any value because those states never vote democrat. Well, by that fact alone, IF she wins Texas, it should not matter because Texas will NEVER vote democrat. Want to rethink what you say Hillary? What a sore loser making up excuses for someone else's win.

TEXANS FOR OBAMA! YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

They are shutting down polls in Baltimore City early 8pm instead of 9:30pm. Telling people they will have to vote provisional ballots, in addition the counties are provided individiuals transportation to the polls and allowing them to cast their vote. Again, Baltimore City is closing their polls.

Hillary is a "will do" candidate whereas Obama is a "hope to do" candidate. No doubt if this was a beauty pageant Obama is the man.

Is the Clinton strategy of dedicating herself to Texas not the same strategy Rudy Guilliani used when focusing on Florida? It didn't work out so well for him and she may find it was not a well advised way to proceed.

Interesting choice of words in your headline. So Obama is "stealing" Clinton's base? It's obvious how CNN loves and tends to their girl Hillary but don't call Obama a theif. He didn't steal anything. He has a better message.

Mike Henry, deputy campaign manager for Sen. Hillary Clinton, resigned Tuesday--more shake ups for the Clinton campaign. Smoke and fire, someone call the fire department!

To all those people who responded to me:

The point I was making that you cannot compare statistics from states where independents and Republicans are voting to statistics where only Democrats are voting. Since they're different groups of voters, the percentages are bound to be different! So these results DO NOT tell us anything different. He gets independents and moderates. Nothing news worthy there. She gets the southern white vote. Nothing news worthy there. Given that he's getting these two NEW groups of voters, he will get a larger percentage of the white southern vote.

I just can't believe a news station would misuse statistics like this- they're making a point and trying to back it up with a faulty analysis but everyone thinks it's ok because there's data. Lesson to the American public- the inferences we derive from data are only reliable if we use the data the correct way.

It's a frustrating day for Clinton supporters. And I should know, because I'm one of them.

As a 26 year-old kindergarten teacher, recently graduated and hating the current presidential administration, I should be following suit along with the rest of my demographic and supporting Barack Obama. And if anyone, ANYONE can give me a reason to support him, I am ready to listen. Seriously. I want to be convinced that he knows the most about fixing our Education system. Prove to me that his health care plan covers more Americans than Clinton's. Explain to me his plan for Iraq. What are his ideas for improving our international standing? Does he have any thoughts on boosting our slumping economy?

Maybe none of that matters. Perhaps I'm just not "hoping for change" enough. Or maybe I'm just petrified about an over-abundance of "hope" and "change" with virtually no "results".

Not a Obama or Hillary supporter, but............... for those that are saying the media and particularly CNN are influencing this process and giving Obama all this positive and more coverage than others might be receiving from the media right now is kind of funny. I have been watching from the beginning and I did not hear the Clinton supporters complaining about the positive and the amount of media she was receiving then. I use to think at that time that CNN stood for Clinton New Network. CNN is starting to show that they can be objective.

ahahah...Obama won like 21 out of 32 states....or something like that...and someone earlier said BARELY winning the popular vote..ahahah...Obama is dominating

GO OBAMAAAAAAAAA...the true unifier and leader..

O-BA-MA O-BA-MA!

Obama is getting the gays votes because they like Obama's butt and so does the woman especially the young ones.

Republican knows that McCain might beat Obama but they have no hope to beat Hillary. So they voted for Obama tonight.
90% black voters voted for Obama in Virginia tonight. Who's the "polarizer" here?
Without considering the black votes, Hillary actually beats Obama in Virginia. But CNN didn't mention this. They are very bias according to my observation in last few days. Politically correct?

Funny how the same people saying Obama will unite... are the same people making rude arrogant degrading remarks about Hillary and her supporters. Way to unite. America will truly get what it deserves...another 4 years of major screw ups.

"Though they were only 5 percent of the electorate there." Learn how to write a complete sentence, with both subject and verb, and get back to me.

Change is coming alright-for worse if he wins! You wanted change, you got it. Dismal next four years if he gets in the White House. I'll vote Republican and never again for Kaine.

Its funny how the Clintons a couple weeks ago try to implement race into the campaign to divide the whites and blacks. To bad it backfired because White america didnt fall for it, and worst of all they turn blacks off mainly because of Bill. Now its really bad when she lost the women vote.

i am a longg time supporter of Clinton. I voted for her in CA..

However, its clear that Obama will win the demo primary and I will support him in November...

Hooray to Democracy....Majority wins...

Go democrates 2008

"Everybody liked Bush, too…Do you not remember??

Kids prefer sweets to nutritious food but someone has to be the parent and do what is best.

Hillary knows best…"

no...everyone did NOT like Bush. Many republicans loved bush and many dems detested him. As I recalled, the race between bush and gore were close for that very reason. So don't try to relate him to Obama in any way shape or form. It's funny because I would have linked Bush more with Clinton in the sense that they are both disconnected from reality and don't understand what America needs.

I trust math not miracles. HRC needs 60% showings in Ohio and Texas to catch up.

It just isn't her year, but it is OK . . .she can try again like McCain did.

HRC in 2016?

isn't anyone going to point out to ryan that john f kennedy was not a republican?

Now all the truth has come out finally. All these years, people keeps complaining that the white people are racists. Take a good look at this election, the black folks overwhelming (over 80%) voted for Obama and the white folks have no problems voting for the black candidate. So tell me who are the racists here?

Another 4 years down the tube! Unbelievable how blind Obama supporters are. Try thinking for yourself instead of the hype...

If Obama wins the nomination, I will vote McCain unless a viable independent comes along, it's that simple and I'm not alone. Hillary is the best person for the job, we're selecting presidential candidates not house party guests.

Let me vote for Obama! Florida's election laws are intended to keep Republicans in office. We don't want the Republicans to steal another one! OBAMA IS THE ONLY CHOICE!

women for Hillary are NOT women

but cuckolded zombies..

women for Hillary

are sad abused defiant ...

women for Hillary are

dissappearing

women for Hillary

do NOT represent

WOMAN

CNN (and the rest of the media) is spinning the polls...i.e. lying. The polls are the same as South Carolina, La., and everywhere else where the black population of voters is above 25 percent. Guys...3 out of 10 votes cast in VA are by African Americans...that is a lot...9 out of 10 blacks voted for Obama. Clinton won the white vote (men and women combined) by nearly 20%. When CNN says that Obama won the women vote, they are combining black and white women together. This is just to spin the results in his favor so that people will not notice the racial divide. It is deceptive and sad. Obama also won the men as well...that number is also combined with both black men and white men. Men have always voted more in favor for him than Clinton. So Desire to be informed...and not ignorant by just looking a little deeper. In fact, go to CNN's primary results page and click on the poll analysis. Look at South Carolina and every other state that is highly populated with African Americans and do your own comparison. It is the same results as today-Obama won because of the Black vote

Also, the results for tonight have been expected for a long time now. Real Clear Politics list the polls for this past week and Obama has been leading with double digits....because of the "black vote". BE INFORMED...NOT MANIPULATED.

Oh by the way...I'm Black....

Dear Obama supporters...

You are the rudest, crudest cult of lunatics this country's ever seen, and aren't very good practitioners of your preacher's ideology.. I strongly suggest you stop hating on Hillary and her supporters, lest you find yourselves short of a few votes in November. If Obama does become the nominee (God forbid) I think you'll need a significant chunk of Hillary's base to win. So stop alienating us and insulting our intelligence with your Obama spew.

Obama is going to win and he will probably beat McCain.

Obama will be a one-term president. Just like Jimmy Carter.

Both are really nice guys, but not presidential material. I have not heard one thing from Obama's mouth in any campaign stop I have seen on TV that talks about anything of substance except for Hope and Change, over and over.

Hope for what?

Change in what way?

Michelle Obama wears the pants in their house and she will wear them in the White House.

I keep on hearing about how Obama is like JFK, Caroline even thinks Obama is like her daddy,how sad. I can recall the JFK inagural speach, I can recall the Cuban missel chrisis. Some of you who liken Obama to JFK should read that inagural address one nore time. Kennedy today would not be thinking "cut and run " as a majority of Democrats and a handful of Republicans want to do. Do you people realy want a disgusting wimp leading the greatest nation in the world? If so, your future is down the drain. I'm 80 years old I realy don't care. If you want to get stupid to prove a point so be it, and enjoy the consequences.

Wonderful, congratulations Virginia and congratulations Senator Obama. Americans for Obama!!! I think voters across the country are sending a strong message that they just want the best candidate to lead the "United" States of America and there is no question that is Senator Obama. We are tired of being divided up into little boxes. Thankfully, this New Yorker doesn't have to have any buyers remorse, as I cast my vote for Obama.

Boring is NEVER a reason to vote against anybody. Did you happen to hear the speech or were you just there for the fun of it?????????

Oh and CNN, stealing is a pretty poor choice of words.

No matter what Hillary would make a better President than Obama. I just hope that all the African Americans that are voting for Obama just because he is black will be ready for another Republican in the White House.

Republicans are voting for Obama becuase they know they can beat him in the November. The republicans will chew him up and spit him out. Hillary cant fight him because she will be called a racist. He has ties to Chicago that will come out by the republicans.

Hillary Clinton’s message of experience is very important. It caught my attention. She is correct when she says that she has the experience. She failed to deliver on universal healthcare. She has not held any political office before becoming a New York senator. She has the experience of failure. Therefore I voted for Obama.

Obama is changing the way politicians run a campaign by doing the following:
– Leveraging web technology to create a sustainable donor base;
– Leveraging web technology to engage people into becoming volunteers via the "Make the Call" at home phonebanking tool;
– Concentrating on the smaller states and caucus states;
– Engaging voters that normally wouldn't participate in an election: young voters, persons of color and Independents;
– Creating a message that evokes collectivism and shared values as evidenced by his gratitutious use of the pronouns "us," "we" and "our";
– Focusing on making the electoral process transparent for potential supporters by outlying the caucus process via BarackObama.com;
– Leveraging web technology to create cross-state coalitions (e.g. College Students for Obama, Women for Obama, etc.) where information on primaries and caucuses can be shared; and finally,
– By being an all-around nice guy.

Barack and Michelle = President and First Lady!

Clinton shouldn't step out of the race... But it seems like Obama can't be stopped and that is great because those who were "next in line" are about to be cut. He deserves to win because he earned it and he will make a great leader, everyone knows it.

COME ON GUYS, COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THAT INDEPENDANTS AND REPUB'S ARE VOTIN FOR OBAMA SO THAT REPUBS CAN DICTATE WHO THEY WILL RUN AGAINST IN GENERAL. ELECTION.

PS, the Clintonite feeling of supremacy is INCREDIBLY off putting, to put it nicely. All Obama supporters are "idiots", being "sucked in with lies"... and Clinton supporters are OBVIOUSLY the ones who can see through the crap? I would define vague answers about a very important Iraq vote, a 15 year old health care plan that Republicans will fight tooth and nail against as socialism, and her own personal attitude of invincibility is CRAP. CRAP, CRAP, CRAP. How about you arrogant Clinton supporters wise up and look in the mirror?

He is stealing more then votes, he is stealing peoples future. If he is the nominee, McCain will steal the election. Michelle said she would not vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, then why should I vote for Obama? I'll vote McCain

Um, exactly how is Obama the great unifier? Raising taxes? Giving illegals drivers licenses? Dodging questions? If being a "robin hood" is your understanding of unification, then what you really want is socialism...

Remember, business pays the bills, not populism... Hugo Chavez was supposed to be the great saviour of Venezuala too....

News Flash Hillary: Just because George Bush is from Texas, doesn't mean the rest of us are as dumb as him and will fall for your pandering to Hispanics and acting like we love you here. I have grown up in a diverse neighborhood on the south side of Dallas. No one liked you or your husband in the 90's. Get over yourself.

Wow. An African-America winning Virginia! I never thought I'd see the day...
As an ex-pat, it's been a rough 8 years to have to admit I'm an American. But today, the pride came back. No matter what kind of mess this country gets into, our best ideals are still alive!

Obama you rock!

He also edged Clinton 52% to 47% among voters over 60.
He also got more non-college grads (62%) and union households (62%).

I don't like the word "steal" in the caption. She never owned that base to begin with. CNN, stop with the race baiting.

If the Potomac primaries go Obama way by sweeping all, the Clinton campaign will be demoralized and will suffer voters fatigue for the Texas and Ohio primaries, her supporters will not be energized as Obama supporters, many will give up and not appear to vote or just sway Obama way with the purpose of wanting to be center to Obama victory to be relevant.

Technically, the Clinton Campaign is at a critical crossroad, she must sweep the Texas and Ohio primaries, anything short of that will render her campaign irrelevant like Mike Huckabee , people and supporters, donors and voters abandon her.

Out of nine primaries and caucuses now and Hilary failed to win a single race, tells volume she is between the rock and a hard place, surely the Texas and Ohio voters will be lure to vote for Obama by the momentum, as far as the public Obama has become the Front Runner for the nomination and that is psychological burden to the Clinton supporters.

You're done Hillary! The Clintons' stranglehold on the Democratic party is finally coming to an end! The only reason anyone was voting for them in the first place is because after Gore and Kerry lost, they were the only ones we perceived could win. But now we have a new champion who actually CAN win and who isn't the pathetic Billary ILLUSION.

Hop on the Obama train! Next stop, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Obama 08!!! CHOO! CHOO!

I love everytime things break against the Clintons "it is the media's fault" or "everyone else is being fooled". Yes, those of us who disagree with the Clintons and their platform are all just mindless fools being led away.

Let's not make another mistake folks. Hillary is not what's best for America. Let's not forget her backround. She's a crimminal. Go to google and type in THE CLINTON CHRONICALS and watch the video or read the transcript. Don't forget all the lives the Clintons have destroyed in their quest for greatness. Is that REALLY who you want running our country? A self-serving, win-at-any-cost, dirtbag candidate... or a fine, honest, educated, intelligent, decent man, who actually WANTS to make America better for each one us? Uh... not a real tough decision for me. I'm voting for Obama.

I guess reality is sinking in!! "firewall" Where is there smoke there is fire.... really? The HRC "firewall" actually crumbled at the end of the 2nd term of president Bill Clinton and the smoke you might being seing is from the "past firewall."

Hillary Clinton is now relying on big states to win. She is the new Rudy Guiliani putting all his eggs in Florida. Now she is hoping to win in Texas. She needs to give up now.

Obama is a very smart and brilliant man. He is very qualified for the job and for any games one wants to play..to my future president..OBAMA '08

NO more Hillary!

Democrats!!! all the way…………..
I support Hillary, wholeheartedly, but it appears she's not only going up against Obama, but everyone in the press also. CNN fails to show equality in reporting….and night after night, it becomes more obvious that America isn't ready for a Woman President. I haven't seen one piece of positive reporting toward Hillary Clinton in weeks, on the contrary, Mr Obama walks on water and can't do any wrong. I understand the country is looking for change, but there's something to be said about experience. As I said, I'll vote Democrat no matter who wins because of the sad state of affairs the Republicans have put this country in. I just wish the candidates were being judged more on what they bring to the table. When is the last time we've heard anything about the candidates policies ….can we compare that instead of who gets the African-American Vote, who gets the White high income vote, who gets the Hispanic vote…etc…..Give us something to make informed decisions with, instead of fluff

Go McCain! Our next President!

yea Keith that's fine, jump from one sinking ship to the next

clinton will eventually face the same fate as Giuliani,at this point i suggest she should realize there comes a time when the interest of a party becomes more important than that of an individual.other words:humbly bow out

I can't stand to watch has what has happened. Its obivious that the Media doesn't like Hillary Clinton. So, it props up Obama and constantly puts down Hillary. The result? More attention to Obama which translates into votes. Why elect a Canadate who has no experience?? Obama will say anything to get your vote. You want change? We'll, Obama won't be able to change. He has no idea how to stand up for ideas.

Stacy,

Your observation is ridiculous. The whole point of this process is for Democrats (with the participation of independents in some states) to select their nominee for President. It makes absolutely no sense for us to select a nominee that we "know" will lose to McCain.

You should have your voting privileges revoked.

The nation has spoken. Every demographic is breaking for Obama. We want an end to divisive politics and someone who can unite and change this country.

OBAMA '08!!!

Liz TN, please don't say everybody liked Bush. Trust me, that's just not the case. MANY of us could smell his stink from the very beginning.

This white, middle aged woman was proud to caucus for Obama this past weekend!

If voters don't get it now, they will get it when Senator Obama looses to the Republicans. That will be shameful and we will have 1/2 of this nation to blame. I saw a recent post to have auto stickers made up to say – Don't Blame Me, I voted for Hillary. That is no laughing matter!

Campaign reshufflement, resignation, short of funds and six/seven losses in a roll !!!! is the house of clinton falling apart?

Stacy,

I'm glad you have such tremendous insight into why people are voting for Obama. Really, why aren't you part of the best political team on television?

And as for the "Hillary knows best" argument, which is getting quite tired by the by, why don't you Clinton zombies realize that there is a difference between leadership/administrative style and campaigning style? Just because she tries to bore people to tears with figures and numbers does not mean she has the better plan. Look on his website, and compare it to her website. He has a 65 page PDF file that outlines plans for a myriad of issues affecting Americans today, whereas she has a bunch of disjointed and vague paragraphs under "Issues". Do your research before you dismiss him, just as I did my research before dismissing her.

Am watching CNN Politics on t.v. I wish Wolf Blitzer or one of the others would explain to us what is a Super Candidate and what is a Caucus Candidate? Do they have more than one vote? They keep talking about the Super Candidates but have not explained to us Canadians what that is.

Also, Wolf Blitzer is sounding far too excitable and should slow his speech down somewhat. He is speaking in a feverish pitch that is not that pleasant to listen to.

Why do you act like Hillary lost the race.

This is only half way.

Ok, let us play the odds for a moment with a view to how it would be best for the DP to gamble. Say Obama wins the nomination, and he is beaten by McCain: DP loss is that of two candidates, Clinton and Obama. Say Clinton wins the nomination, and she is beaten by McCain: DP loses the Clinton card, but would still have the Obama one to play again in 2012. Now say, Clinton beats McCain, the DP would still have the Obama card to play in case Clinton wins a two term mandate. And if Clinton doesn't get re-elected for a second term, Obama would still be a very viable candidate for 2016. Say Obama wins over McCain, the Clinton card is lost anyways, whether he gets or not re-elected for a second term. So playing the odds, the only good scenario for the DP in case Obama wins the nomination would be for Obama to better win the general election. And yet, he may not end up re-elected for a second term. This is called putting all eggs in one basket. An Obama nomination looks like a very risky gambling. If it were my money, I wouldnt play it that way.

Hilary is praying for Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania to pull her through. I will vote for republican before I will vote Hilary.

Pennsylvania for Obama!

Change is coming!

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

"Obama steals Clinton's bicycle"

Just a little observation.

Both Hillary and Obama talk about bring people together for change

Well...what I see is this...

Obama is getting votes from Dems, Indies and moderate republicans

Hillary just said that the States Obama won she does not care about
States that she said that normally will not go to the Dems
This may have been true but Obama is getting their support now
Obama said he is to reach across the aisle, and he is doing it
Whereas Hillary is alienating, ignoring and disregarding
Hillary is showing what so many people say about her that she is very divisive

So who is walking the walk...And who is just talking

It is plain to see to me...and to everyone...I hope

Why doesn't CNN show simple totals for pledged and super delegates. I think Obama's increase in pledged delegates must be impressive.

Hilly babie.. your move to be senator of NY (welfare capitol of the world) was so BLATANTLY calculated.. !!!

I'm looking forward to (high expectations) of your next cunning/calculated move.

such as how do you EXTRACT youself from this mess

and PRESERVE y our megalomaniac NEED TO ACHEIVE?

I KNOW we have NOT heard the LAST from the CLINTONS (pair)

there is at least a decade before they FADE AWAY

into geriatric decrepitude

Eating away her backbone? Gross choice of words, CNN...

He talks about how he will change this margage crisis, then i looked up the stats his state is 5th worst state with foreclosures. How is this man getting away with all these lies, and americans are bying into it...............Maybe this is why the world is catching up to us in many way's, we don't go by facts anymore we just go by what the media say's..........Who clearly does not want hillary to win, and i just don't know how women like obama more than they like clinton, how is all this happening.................Ladies don't you want to support a women president?

I really am amazed at how Obama's name is always in the news and how he reportedly keeps taking over the crowds and always comes across in so many glowing terms compared to any of the other candidates. Maybe he can eventually win a landslide over the Republican nominee for President and even raise more money than Bush or any of our senators in Congress can. He really tends to make ALL of the politicians look inferior and beatable. Is it for REAL or is it the IMAGE of him created by the media and reflected in what we read and see about him on television that continues to build his progress each month and attract more and more followers for him. .......time will tell.

Hmm, Let's see. Obama is winning elections much like Bill Clinton did in the 90's. He wins most of the Black vote, and a fair majority of White voters. I think somebody forgot to tell the rest of us in America that we're supposed to coronate Hillary Clinton.

All you who say Obama can't beat McCain but Clinton can...are you serious? What planet are you on? Yes, perhaps some Republicans are voting for Obama in some of these primaries, but maybe that's because they are soft Republicans who actually like Obama's message and don't want McCain as their nominee. McCain is uninspiring and has a 1 track mind and has no clue on how to fix the economy, health care, the mortgage crisis, and every other domestic issue that is crushing the American people right now.

Without Obama in the race, voter turnout would be anemic like usual for primaries. He is engaging Americans from all races, gender, creed, economic and social status.

Republicans WANT Clinton to be the nominee because independents will go for McCain in that situation. Independents don't want Hillary.

I'm really glad to see that Obama beat Clinton in ALL demographics. Race....Gender...Education....Wealth...Age He beat her in all those categories. In this wasn't NY or CA. This was a southern state. The home state of Pat Robertson. He is a once in a generation candidate.....more and more very similar to JFK.

Wow Wow Wow.....

This is really bad news for Hillary and gang...

I bet ya $2.00 Hillary will cry tonight on stage in Texas... I bet ya!

Expect Hillary to cry any minute. Why didn't she cry when 9/11 happen or Katrina? Hillary campaign is in trouble big time. We don't need Hillary or super delegates. Go Obama and yes we can.

Forgive me but this feels like a civil war.

Hillary didn't think she would win the blacks vote. Why would she

This isn't a rock concert.

We need to have experience.

Go girl!!!!!!!!

LOL at people comparing obama to Bush because people "like" him. He's likeable, but he's not obviously a dimwit like Bush.

Hillary knows best? Why?

Auuuugh! It's Latinos, NOT Latino's! Shame on you, CNN. Apostrophes are for possessives and contractions, never plurals!

Wolf,

I wanted to point out something about the state. You keep looking at Richmond City for Republican results. You should be looking at Chesterfield County which is much larger, suburban, and more conservative. Also Chesapeake has not shown up yet. That is another very large conservative city.

As for the Dems...all I can say is we are kicking butt tonight in our number of votes cast.

Thanks,

Can you smell what Barack's got cookin!!!!

WHITE WOMEN DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA

HE GOT THE WOMEN VOTE BY HAVING SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY BLACK WOMEN VOTE.

YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE BOAT GETTING THIS GUY IN THERE.

I hope one day soon you are eat your words.

white women are standing strong and in texas – the latinos are not stupid – I have many friends who are latino and they are a strong strong people that deserve our respect. They will not be fooled like the young white boys seem to be on here.

I didn't like Bush...

I think it is a slap in the face to ignore the 22 states that spoke loud and clear for Obama to the 11 that went to Clinton. Clinton is being the decisive candidate...

for those that say Obama has no substance... get your head out of the sand... he's been EXTREMELY clear on the issues, you just choose to ignore it.

The next President of the United States of America...Barack Obama!!!

Women are often times women's worst enemy. I think that if Hillary loses the election, you will not see another woman run for president for at least 50+ years.

Plus, I agree w/ the above poster (David, CA); Obama is overrated. In fact, Obama is like Guiliani when it comes to speeches; the only thing I ever hear is "Change" and "Hope" but barely anything in-between.

I think that the women voting for Obama speaks volumes of how women perceive themselves. Here in California, Hillary defeated Obama overwhelmingly amongst women because they "know" that women are the only true minority. This election really has shown me, a man, that sexism does transcend racism.

Liz,You are quite right. One bird in your hand worth more then two birds in the bush

White men, Black men, Hispanic men won't vote for a woman. That's what they are saying.

Obamarama bashing. One more democrat goes for McCain.

If Obama gets elected President, there is absolutely no way he will ever live up to the hype that is carrying him now. It will be the biggest post election hangover in American political history. The disillusionment among his constituency will be strong as one nebulous campaign idea after another never comes to fruition.

I FINALLY heard tonight on the broadcast someone say the words "Buyers Remorse." Change is happening – What would happen if if New York and California voted again today? I am looking forward to voting in the Texas primary. A vote for change – hope is being replaced by faith.

Wow, Saturday, Sunday, and now this. It's one thing to anticipate that Obama will probably win, and it's another to see the board live on CNN and Fox and look at the size of these victories. The man is on a Tiger Woods type roll.

It's amazing how poorly run the Clinton campaign has been since New Hampshire, but I think the main thing it comes down to is that Obama is a better candidate in the sense that he connects more easily with the voters and doesn't have many awkward moments. He's almost like a Democratic Ronald Reagan. Sure, I expect the Clintons will start hitting him with TV ads about the Rezco dude, the "present" votes, etc. but I expect he'll handle them well. People want sincerity, but they don't expect perfection.

Hillary is reacting to the "playoff pressure" the way most of us would react – surprisingly well much of the time, poorly at other times. Such as when she suggested that the Potomac primaries weren't so representative of America, the day before the primaries! That was a major blunder. At least when she skipped out of South Carolina to avoid giving her concession speech, she waited until it wouldn't have any affect on that day's vote.

My theory is that Hillary is a "positive thinker" (always look for the silver lining in any situation), and that is a usually a very good trait to have, but it does have its limitations. Obama has a much deeper level of self confidence than positive thinking.

I didn't like Bush at all.......don't generalize!!!!!!!

oh oh....another Campaign staff rom Hillary's campaign just resigned. Yep, the SS Hiilary is listing! To the lifeboats!

Ok, so how can Hillary just "poo poo" the results of the Potomac Primaries? What, the rest of us don't count? Only the "big states" of Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania count? Sounds to me like she is negating all the rest of us! Go Obama! I'm glad I voted for you!

I'd be fine with either Obama or McCain. Billary and the other guy are just too polarizing. The country desparately needs someone who can breach the gulf of the aisles. Let's face it, (but I'm sure I'll get a lot of disagreement), the reality is (and yes I understand how checks and balances work) the Chief Exec doesn't really have much power other than nominating Article III justices and establishing foreign policy (the latter, of course, includes ComminChief powers). The veto power is overrated and seldom used. Congress has the real power, and that bunch is difficult to have coalesce due to the diversity of the population. We are in a tight pendulum of ideology but really need a "feel good" Chief Exec right now, ala Peanut Jimmy. He wasn't a great CE but he sure did what he was elected to do. John or Barack will fit the bill (pardon the intended pun) nicely.

I love when I hear clintonites scream "the only reason he's winning is because he has blacks, independents, activists and republicans voting for him."

wouldn't it be fair to also say "the only reason clinton is losing is because she only has white women and latinos voting for her..."

???

If Hillary CANNOT keep her campaign team together, how can we expect her to keep up with a cabinet that can solve real problems for this nation?

The movement is on.

Obama is dragging all you idiots into his false hopes and lies......Just watch

ive attended both Clinton and Obama when capaigns...it was so much more electric and fun and what Obama was saying...Hilarys was really boring...

OBAMA!

Fired up and REady to go!!!!!

Obama for President

Where does everyone get this McCain can beat Obama garbage from? For the last week we have heard nothing but poll after poll saying that Obama beats McCain and McCain beats Clinton. Are you counting on some hopeful fact that independents will all of a sudden swing over to McCain? I hate to say this but you Clintoners are starting to sound like the demographic that seems to consistently support Clinton, the uneducated.

By the way the people are speaking. Obama now has more delegates in total than she does.

I have listened to his speeches and I have listened to her speeches. They have both expressed their stance on the issues. Those of you who think he has not must not understand the English language. I am at a loss to explain your ignorance any further.

If Mr Barack Obama wins the Election i can see Republicans having jobs in the White House & there will play a game with Mr Barack Obama , then they Repulicans will take over again , Do folks want that to happen ? i hope not , so i have to say is Mr Barack Obama is overrated , just beacuse is young doesn't mean he is Michael Jackson. All those people who voted for Mr Barack Obama are blind too see they are voting for , Mr Barack Obama has invaluable experince .

America is ready for Obama! Go Obama, I want to see you win!

Obama should be the Democratic nominee because he is focused on unifying people as well as parties. Our country is so much more than a collection of Democrats and Republicans.

Hillary on the other hand sleeps, eats, and breaths for the thrill of being a major part of the politicial machine and WILL continue the status quo – divide and conquer and destroy all that oppose you.

Her tactics seem oddly familiar to those of a guy we all know. We've been watching his horror play out for the past 7 years...do you really want to watch the rerun?

It's time to move forward collectively as people NOT parties.

Obama in '08! Yes we can!

News...MSNBC projects that Obama wins D.C. .. Big win for Obama tonight....

Hillary's Response to Virginia Loss:

"Oh... those voters don't represent the electorate... we know that."

I think the Americans are finally sick and tired of hearing Hillary boast about her experience, how she is the only one with the ability to fix this and that. They are right; that is the same kind of a know-it-all arrogance that has alienated America from the rest of the world. Besides the 20th century, Cheney/Rumsfeld kind of experience has been proven to be outdated in the 21st century. 9/11 was unpredictable and so is the current fast changing world but America has hundreds of colleges/ Universities and millions of talented and well educated people who can face anything. All they need is someone who can bring them together and inspire them. Hillary has obviously run out of ideas, may be Bill should be unleashed again to distort/attack. It worked in NH, who knows Tx and Ohio may fall for it.

Julie, Binghamton, NY February 12, 2008 8:28 pm ET

The only reason he did better was because of independents and Republicans who voted for him.

Julie....I respectfully submit to you that this is PRECISELY the reason to vote for Barack Obama....come November Republican and Independant voters will give the Democrats the White House.....ONLY IF OBAMA IS THE NOMINEE!.....but you don't see this....do you?

Obama won places that are usually republican states anyway.
He won't help the democratic party.

so he did well in ONE state with women..so what?

i don't know how obama is doing this, he is a liar and all he does is give false hopes, i saw him live and at that time i was an obama supporter, then after i saw him contradicting himself many times, that's when i changed and supported hillary. Hillary and Edwards were both for universall health care obama was not, now everywhere he goes he is talking how he is going to have in his plan universal health care, i mean come on blind people, cant you see he is saying what ever it takes to become president.........this is sad, people voting for obama are not looking at the facts..........he is all about false hopes

I know what we are going to get if Hillary wins – More of the Bill and Hillary show. It was bad news then and it won't be any different this time around – we know that after his tacky display in South Carolina.
I've read the books Barack has written and I am impressed – by his clear thought, his genuineness, and it is also his lack of political baggage that makes him particularly appealling. As Michelle said last night on Larry King's show – yes, he'll make mistakes – but he will admit it and move to correct it – so unlike our present situation.
The super delegates need to be abolished! This is supposed to be a vote by the people – of course the super votes appear to be going Hillary's way – it's more of the same old muddy politics!
So, if for some sad reason I don't get to vote for Barack in November and we are left with Hillary and McCain – this southern girl is voting for McCain – at least he is someone I respect (read his books too!) and appreciate his military record. And his maverickness has an appeal over a vote for Hillary.
But I'm hoping that I can say YES I CAN vote for Barack!

Well she certainly has a setback today. Also, she will be behind in overall delegates (btw – super delegates which are already counted in the total are only those that"committed" already, and can't change their vote). I'm very curious how this will play out. March 4th is rally decisive for this race, no question to it. Congrats to Obama today. On my part I do not change my vote for Hill, especially since the issue I feel the most strongly about, health care, is in my eyes hers. Requirement for everyone to insure is the only economically feasible way to make sure everyone tip into the shared responsibility system that is helping the sick. MIT study proves it. Obama's 4400 per capita to Hill's 2700 per capita makes a difference for me (and ensures all are insured). On side note: think about health insurance as car insurance (PLPD) – it is a required insurance from every driver for the very reason that it drives the overall costs down and makes it certain no one is skipping. Imagine what would happen if people could opt out from it, who would pay for accident that someone did to us and they did not have the PLPD. If everyone are required, you liquidate (or lower) the free rider problem. It may not be idealistically best solution, as it is a requirement, but reality is – this is only solution to make universal health care cost effective.

Now that Obama and Clinton are so close, what about Florida and Michigan. Their primary votes are not going to be counted in a race that will probably be down to the wire. According to the Supreme Court in 2000, doesn’t this violate the principle that all voters should be treated equally and given equal access to have their votes counted? Isn’t it funny that the problem again occurs in Florida?

Dear Julie in Binghamton.....from one here in the deep South (as in even more south than Virginia), I'll tell you that Obama is getting a ton of support from African Americans, traditional Democrats as well as the well-educated professionals. That's quite a coalition to cobble together....and that's why Obama will be such a formidable candidate in the general election. He's a symbol of hope for a country that badly needs it right now. And as much as I'd love to see a woman president, it's hard for most Southerners to get behind Hillary. Right or wrong, she just doesn't seem very warm and friendly. And this is a part of the country that values warmth. On the other hand, Obama, like Bill Clinton, is extremely intelligent as well as charismatic. I like his chances.

OMG!! You people are not really supporting Obama, are you? Thank goodness there are still several power states left to rein in on the common sense voter...Hillary is prepared, how about another debate, Oh that's right, Obama can't have his writers on stage with him, Oh yea, He's ready to serve??? NOT!!!!! Hillary 08...PA supports Hillary...

President Barack Obama........Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

The days of devisive politics is over. The country wants a leader to bring us together. The fact that Obama can pull votes from Independents and Republicans is proof of what he can do for this country. Hillary will never win in November. It's time for her to think about an exit strategy.

"Julie, Binghamton, NY February 12, 2008 8:28 pm ET
The only reason he did better was because of independents and Republicans who voted for him."

YOU ARE ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY CORRECT. AND THATS THE REASON WHY HE SHOULD BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. period.

The media needs to stop campaigning for certain candidates.
It's a disgrace for all Americans.

We are watching CNN news and are very happy with the Obama triumph in Virginia. The United States need a real change... and Obama is for real the LEADER of hope for the nation. God bless Obama!

Stacy- Do you really believe that independants and republicans are throwing their votes at Obama because they fear Clinton could beat McCain? Wow, that's out there.

John in Columbus said it best....'the man is a unifier '

People are tired of the same old same old politicians...we need change!

I think the thing I'm looking forward to the most is getting rid of Bush.

It isn't over for Hillary yet. Obama may have won in the Potomac Primaries, but he'll never win in Ohio and Texas - where it counts. This race is far from over.

im a demacrat and if baroc wins i will not vote

Shame for democracy, black voters are voting based on race in a whopping numbers to Obama while white voters are more unbiased. Just look at the statistics and if black voters voted similar to whites in Virginia, Obama would have not won the state. Too bad people can't see how black voters are voting on race...

The people are fasinated by all the excitement of a new fresh movement that's currently evolving around Obama. The psychology for the moment is analogous to a spring time fling between to young lovers,flirting under a Magnolia Tree! Blinded by the moment , only to realize it was all just an infatuation. When they finally come to their senses they will vote for Hillary, HandsDown! Knowing if not Hillary/Bill ,it will be another four (4) years Republican and the Bush Agenda!!!

HEY RICK, How can you vote for Ron Paul when he already stated that he would not be running on a third party?

Speaking of clueless.

Bye Billary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go OBAMA!! I love you!!!!

and what will happen if obama becomes president? he'll collapse, waiver, be inconsistent. has anybody looked at his voting record as state senator and as us senator? maybe obama supporters need to check out the track record of this "so call messiah". they'll be very suprise to see nothing but inconsistencies. take away the charisma and the media support and all you have left is a cocky man full of hot air.
Hillary in 2008

#1 criteria for my vote: which candidate has taken the LEAST amount of money from special interest groups, which candidate is the LEAST involved with lobbyists, which candidate is the LEAST tied to typical Washington business as usual politics?

Well, seems to me, and correct me if I am wrong, that Clinton and McCain have been around so long and are so involved in the Washington insider way of doing business that if we vote for either of them, here we go again, same corrupt BS we keep getting year after year. Time for someone who has the least ties to this corrupt system as possible. Now that Edwards is out, seems like Obama is the only choice.

That is of course, unless you are satisfied with the current system... ha ha ;>)

CNN has destroyed John Edwards, Rudy Gulliani, now they are trying to destroy Clinton.

Please stop with the opinions. Report the news!!!!!!!!!

I am an African-American WOMAN and never considered myself part of Hillary's base!

OBAMA 2008!!!

NeilP: Feel free to look up both candidates vote at Senate.gov or go to their respective websites. It's really easy. If you can find this, surely you can use "teh Google" and find their sites.

As for the Clinton supporters, while I fully think that this so-called blog and the MSM in general have way too much bias, I don't recall ya'll complaining this past year when they decided that our frontrunners were Clinton and Giuliani before there was even a vote. And I'm sorry, but exit polls aren't 'spin'. It's data. Deal.

Now for CNN, why this headline? You could have chose any word, but 'stealing'. Is that a kneejerk reaction to what a black man does? Note, one more thing for me to blog about regarding the deplorable choices the MSM willingly makes. Nice job.

Obama supporters are insanse and are prematurely advocating for Mrs. Clinton to get out of the race because they are so divisive. Should a candidate leave the race when the other candidate has only a small number of pledged delegates more and only a slight lead in the popular vote. CALM DOWN! Our party is doomed in the coming general election; Obama supporters bias is the worst I have ever seen, and if this continues, I know that my more moderate positions will favor Mr. McCain.

Which one fits this best Hillary, Obama or McCain?

Leadership (according to John Sculley) revolves around vision, ideas, direction, and has more to do with inspiring people as to direction and goals than with day-to-day implementation. A leader must be able to leverage more than his own capabilities. He must be capable of inspiring other people to do things without actually sitting on top of them with a checklist.” Bennis, W. ‘On Becoming a Leader’ Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing, (1989, p.139)

"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." John F. Kennedy

It is quite distubing that CNN has Republican reporters say all kinds of negative spin on the Democrat parties process. Guess what, they are afraid that the Super Delegates will make it right to protect the party, that is their purpose. They know what percentage of Dem voters are part time young voters that are not voting on knowledge. They also know without Florida or Michigan the election is invalid, because 48 state vote is not a democracy.
CNN please get Democrat reporters to report on the Democrates, true to keep it balance..
If Obama is in, Republican win. If Hillary wins and take Obama as VP Dems are in for 8 to 16 years. This is the end game.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, LIZ

OBAMA '08!

I'm still terrified of OHIO! We already have them to thank for Bush! Michigan votes are so screwed up that there is no way they can be used (FL too) without destroying the integrity of the race. We knew that our votes would not count and still many of us voted uncommitted instead of simply sitting it out. That she would even consider counting those delegates confirms my belief that she worships at the altar of political expediency. We don't need more of the same. Chicanery was wrong when the Republicans did it and it is wrong now.

I have a friend who is in school in London right now who emailed me today that Obama cannot possibly live up to our expectations because they have grown exponentially and he can't be all things to all people. But I contend that HE CAN bring us back together as Americans – not Republicans or Democrats, Liberals or Conservatives. HE CAN provide a new vision of leadership to other nations, reminding them why America can be a great nation once again. HE CAN try to bring people together to solve our problems instead of playing the blame game. Those who say he is all style and no substance have not done their due diligence. The President is surrounded by smart people who help strategize and make decisions, I want someone with INTEGRITY and the only one I see who displays it consistently is OBAMA. I teach middle schoolers and I see a brighter future for them with a new direction for our country.

RESIGNATION IN THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN ABOUT TO BE ANNOUNCED!!

CLINTON SHIP IS SINKING FAST!

OBAMA 08!!

wow! i was going to vote for hillary but now that i see she is a sore loser i am voting for Barack this country needs to energized this is america the land of the free! and also Barack gives our country a great image! i travel international and people hate us because of BUSH....OBAMA! 08

All i know is that if Obama wins the race, then im not going to vote at all!! I'm all for Hillary...

VIVA HILLARY!!!

It is interesting to see how we Americans vote for the highest office – just based on inspirational talks of change – and not based on changes a person has brought about in the past and the knowledge and sincere love for the country. Time will say what will happen and to which direction the Country will go and how united every one will be at that time. Very sad and I blame the Hype from the Media still for this out come.

Wake up Dems. The Republican party is trying to edge out the election. Look 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 running. Their party already has their front runner in Mack and they don't need to vote for him anymore. He is already is a shoe in.

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 be ignored.

As a Texan, and a white woman, I resent Sen. Clinton claiming my state before the battle is fought. To quote a famous battle cry "Come and Take It"

Go Obama!

It is quite distubing that CNN has Republican reporters say all kinds of negative spin on the Democrat parties process. Guess what, they are afraid that the Super Delegates will make it right to protect the party, that is their purpose.

If Obama is in, Republican win. If Hillary wins and take Obama as VP Dems are in for 8 to 16 years. This is the end game.

I, for one, am disappointed. Obama should have won more like 75% to 25%. That would have been a true victory over Clinton. But 62% to 37% is practically a tie.

No it isn't! That's like 25 points!! Daaamn!!

Hillary? She only cares about power. She would be the biggest mistake this country has ever made.

I am an American that believes in the first amendment. Obama threatens my rights to bear arms. I have a right to defend myself from an intruder in my own home. Mr. Obama opposes this right. Are all men in this country going to stand back and allow Obama to take away that right?

I don't think any of you jokers really did your homework except fall prey to an inexperienced, motivational speaker and "not show up for work dude" that has a pretty face. Those of you that are not on your own yet, you don't realize the damage you have caused. To those of you independent and out in the workforce, good luck, you have experience and you know your business.

The Republicans are going to have a barbeque with Mr Obama.

Senator Clinton can kick some and then more, of course the Republicans don't want her.

There are a lot of grateful hispanics that love her.

As a white 62 year old woman who voted for Barack, I want to say that listening to his mind, logic and sensing his strength of commitment reminds me of JFK. All of us who remember how inspiring he was and who have not been inspired since are grateful to him. For the first time in my life I sent some money to a candidate. Any money I send is a hardship but I cannot think of a better way to spend it.

One last thought–

We need Hillary to be a lioness in the Senate, someone like Ted Kennedy who can keep the legislation moving. She probably can do more for the country there than facing filibuster after filibuster from a unified Republican Party even if she manages to eke out a November win.

Sorry to double-post, I just want Hillary supporters to know we can appreciate her and hope for a future role for her in the new Democratic majority we are working for.

Let's not forget the simple fact that McCain vs. Clinton in a debate gives the republicans way to much ammunition, true or not, to throw around and play dirty politics like always. McCain vs. Obama is a no contest debate – anyone who has seen crowd response after these candidates give a speech would say that Obama would win hands down without even taking off the kid gloves.

Obama 08!

Derail the legacy train!

I AM STATING TODAY THAT IF OBAMA WINS AND BECOMES THE DEMOCRATIC WINNER, I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR HIM. HE HAS NEVER SHOWN ME HIS EXPERIENCE, AND THE PARTY HAS SHOWN ME THAT A WOMAN WILL NEVER BE ELECTED AS PRESIDENT.

I agree with one of the posts down: "We're electing a president, not a professor." Yes, Hilary has more experience but she doesn't have the skills to unify, inspire, and lead the people. These skills are innate. A lot of my professors are just as smart as her if not more, but I don't think they would make great presidents. Hilary should be more of an adviser to Obama.

Julie, is this NOT a strong argument infavor of Obama's position? He can BRING in BOTH Independents and Republicans? You already the Dems in your corner!!!!

All these results are the same as before except there are independents voting. They're throwing off the percentages. If you look at the numbers, she still gets the white Democratic southern vote, he doesn't. The only reason he did better was because of independents and Republicans who voted for him.

The country needs someone who can motivate and inspire people from various demographic groups. The less polarization factor the better. This applies to either party. So far, the best uniter/motivator I see across the widest spectrum is Obama. He motivates Dems, Indeps, some Repubs. Hillary is way, way too polarizing to be an effective leader regardless of my personal feelings toward her. With her, you get 50% of the people loathing her, and 50% liking her. Just what we need in American after Bush the polarizer. The fact that will not change about Hillary, and the thing that makes her a weak is her inability to inspire and gain support from a diverse range of constituents nationally. This makes Obama the best candidate out there. If nothing else, he creates enthusiasm and involvement among the widest range of people.

I'm tired of polarization and division. Bush has excelled at this, and Hillary will be more of the same. Willing to take a shot at Obama this time. Heck, we've been voting on experience long enough and you can see where that has gotten us.

The fact that Hillary's support comes from the least educated demographic doesn't engender too much confidence in me, either. I certainly don't have a PhD, but I do think more education is desirable, and that more educated people make better decisions in general, so the fact that Hillary appeals to the least educated voter base of any of the candidates is mildly disconcerting to me...is that the demographic I want determining the President? Umm...nope.

Obama is the only candidate running who offers a change, not just of the last 8 years but the previous 8 years that allowed Bush to take the White House. Without Bill Clinton there wouldn't have been a second Bush and without the second Bush there probably wouldn't be an Obama. he is the right candidate at the right time and offers optimism(and specifics to back it up on his web site)instead of THIS

Hey Stacy, why would Democrats vote for Obama so that he can lose? Wow, some people are just going to find any excuse to spin every win he gets..lol.

Face it, Hillary can no longer use the gender,blue collar worker, lower income, race card tatics anymore. You know why?
Because ALL OF THEM VOTED FOR OBAMA!

He has united all races, genders, financial barriers, political parties etc... to all vote for for him. Name another person running for president that can do that?
Or that has ever did that?

OBAMA 08!!

Stacy

They're reporting this because McCain can beat Obama but not Hillary? Are you joking? Every poll puts Obama ahead of McCain out of the margin of error. This is why Clinton supporters support Clinton- if they had any brains they'd be for Obama.

Yes we can.

Barack Obama will lead and unite this country!

I agreed with Julie....I am an independent and voted Republicans in the last presidential election...But this time , as a registered independent I chose democratic primary and voted for Obama...We hate Hillary and I don't want her to be our president.

WE DO EVERYTHING BIGGER AND BETTER IN TEJAS . We are going to HOOK the Nation. Sanjay will not win in TEXAS, OHIO, PEN STATE!!!!!!!!! CLINTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All Aboarrrd!!!!!
The Obama Express is leaving the Potomac and heading for Wisconsin.

You can tell a dragon is dying by how hard it's thrashing. Listening to the Hillary camp, all I can say is RUN, the dragon (Hillary's candidacy) is dying.

We're ready for you in Texas! Come on OBAMA '08!

It seems to me that not only is Barak Obama way ahead of Seator Clinton in the Virginia race, but look at the total number of voters who turned out to vote for him compared to the total number of voters on the Republican side.! Barak Obama has more votes by himself than all those voting in the Republican race. That says something to me about his electibility!

this is my first time voting and believe me it felt great!!! although Obama didn't win in ny...it felt very very good to be voting for me....OBAMA 08*****

Julie from Binghamton

Let's see what MD does where only registered Democrats can vote – then you can eat your hat, and I hope you're willing to come on-line and do so.

YES WE CAN! ONWARD TOWARDS THE FUTURE! WE'RE GETTING THE INDEPENDENTS AND THE REPUBLICANS TOO! ITS ALL OVER! ITS BECOMING MORE AND MORE APPARENT WHO CAN BRING THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER. KEEP IT UP OBAMA!

Too many black men and women to support Obama in Virginia. In TX, OH, Hillary will win big. Please watch the rally in EL Paso TX.

Hillary's base of support is crumbling, and she has ZERO appeal to the independents that will ultimately determine the outcome of this election. The only party she is capable of uniting at this point is the GOP, whose far-right hates her even more than they do John McCain. If she is capable of putting the good of her party above her own ego, she should step out of the race now.

"People are voting for Obama because they know that McCain can beat him but not Hilary. "
HuH? I think I could beat John McCain, if you give me a couple weeks.

Hey Hey Mr. Dream Merchant....everything depends on you....oh yeah......

I'M A BELIEVER!!!!!!

Obama 08

Everybody liked Bush, too...Do you not remember??

Kids prefer sweets to nutritious food but someone has to be the parent and do what is best.

Hillary knows best...

I think Mr & Mrs Clinton should stop while they are ahead, rather then continue on and loose more then they already have. If they want to help the Democratic party they would start by endorsing Obama and helping the Democratic party win the election. This would give them more respect then what they have now. GO OBAMA

Why is it that anyone who says they're in favor of Obama is obviously falling for a facade and a media parlor trick. Get over yourselves. The Hillary supporters would get a lot more credit if they'd drop this holier-than-thou nonsense.

Obama may or may not become a great President, but he's the right person at the right time for whom to take that chance. The past 8-12 years have been nothing but political infighting and backbiting and Hillary supporters expect to change that by voting for the most polarizing politician the world has ever seen? Give me a break. I don't doubt Hillary would try to make a good President, but it will be 4 years of Republican fillibustering if she's given the chance.

It's time to start new. Cut the cord, Hillary supporters. Roll the dice. Even if Obama ends up being all glitz and no substance, it can't get any worse than it already is. But at least we won't be continuing the same ridiculous fights.

I am interested to see how his vote total compares to McCain's– in a Republican state that we may win with Obama at the top, that will be a real indicator of relative appeal to independents.

About the over 55 demographic for Clinton ...The only reason Hillary won the Nevada caucuses in Las Vegas is because they bussed in the senior citizens from the retirement homes on the Clinton busses. I don't want some senile person who thinks they are out on a field trip determining who my candidate is!

Hello. To Julie's comment above, "All these results are the same as before except there are independents voting. They're throwing off the percentages. If you look at the numbers, she still gets the white Democratic southern vote, he doesn't."

If you are correct, this will not be a problem in the general election because Obama will have John Edwards as his vice president candidate and will definately carry the southern vote.

Hooray for Obama!! His name isn't "Barack" for nothing – check your Old Testament – "Barak" was a famous O.T. warrior known for his military prowess. I've been for him from day one!

OBAMA CAN DO IT, YES WE CAN...................OBAMA '80

I think that Hillary should bow out. What I can't wait to see is the extreme disappointment that all the Obama supporters will have if he wins the presidency and nothing really changes. Buy into all the speeches, jump on the band wagon, vote for the style, be cool and feel self-righteous but boy, there's going to be alot of disappointment. I'm not saying Hillary would change much either but I think she has the more practical solutions. People are really drinking the cool aid if they think that ANYONE can change Washington in 4 or 8 years.

I also will find it hard to believe that Obama can unite the country when a large portion of his supporters hurl nothing but venom against the other candidates.

All Clinton base are belong to us. Someone set us up the Obama!

when are we gonna get DC results?

Meanwhile, the Gov of Pa., Ed Rendell, essentially calls some of his constituents in Pa. racists, (AP story) and justifies his support of Clinton in that light. This is going to go over like a lead balloon and may cost Clinton a viable shot in Pa.

His basic premise may well be true, but honestly? You don't, 1) call your base bigots and 2) make your endorsement choice on it. I wouldn't be surprised if he loses his next election as well.

RE: Julie, Binghamton, NY February 12, 2008 8:28 pm ET

All these results are the same as before except there are independents voting. They're throwing off the percentages. If you look at the numbers, she still gets the white Democratic southern vote, he doesn't. The only reason he did better was because of independents and Republicans who voted for him.

Are you serious? Isn't that what we want, a candidate that can win both DEM, Independant, and the Republican vote. I really hate to say this but it sure sounds like alot of female Clinton supporters just want her to win because she is a woman. This comment clearly illustrates my thought. I not saying all the women Clinton supporters but certainly this comment makes you think. Ma'am you have really lost touch with what this race is about. But in your attempt to downplay Obama's victory, I would like to say thank you for point out the biggest victory of all in VA. Obama pulled in the Independant, and some Republican voters. That ma'am is a good thing, despite what you Clintoners believe. But oh yeah i guess since Hillary didn't win this state their vote doesn't really matter. Wake up.

Steve..It is a fact that independents and Republicans voted for Obama.

You should consider reading and researching.

At least newpapers are honest about which candidate want, I guess its way too late for CNN to get honest

I will never vote for obama.I will vote for McCain and I have never voted for a republican,Obama gives a great speech with no substance. I have atleast 30 friends that feel the same way. So VOTE OBAMA if you want a Republican pres in 08.
Obama says he doesnt take pac money, well go to moveon.org and see he is a lier and he does take pac money

The Clinton boat is taking on more water tonight.

What I want to know is, why would Charmin, advertise Tissue Paper yet, either way, we will buy toilet paper? waste of money should be donated to Clinton Campain

OBAMA 08!!

Julie from NY got it right...

Wait and see if obama gets to be the nominee......the republicans will win!!

Thank you America! Thank you for renewing my faith in the process (the democratic process).

I still have my fingers crossed on this "super delegate" business. Nothing say's screw you like stealing your vote.

OOOOPS 300,000 FOR OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA

Hurray for Obama!!!!

When the night is over, Obama will have scored 8 STRAIGHT WINS!!!!

Obama 08!!!

We are all proud of you Obama.
I hope the Clinton supporters will start leading towards OBAMA

GOBAMA!!! '08

DC and Maryland will be yours as well and Texas and Ohio and Missouri.

Obama is EXACTLY what this country needs right now and I am thrilled to watch this develop. It is time for Hillary to get out of the way.

Obama 08!

The Republicans don't have "Superdelegates". The Democrats do. So if Senator Obama wins the popular vote, the greater number of states, and the most delegates, but is just short of a majority, the party hacks (Superdelegates) can simply overturn the results by picking their establishment candidate, Billary. No wonder they call it the "Democratic Party".

OBAMA 240,000 VOTES. HUCK AND MCLAME I MEAN MCCAIN 225,000 COMBINED, WOW.

I can think of 100 people that would be a better president than hillary. Obama is the first on that list. Time for hil to go

No need for Hillary to "step aside, bow out, ect"

You people "Obamaniacs" seem to forget, she has supporters.

He can talk, and talk....talk....talk.....talk.

Hillary is in it to win..and she WILL!

Virginia's population holds one of the highest levels of education in the nation.
It showed today.

What is interesting is the fact that Clinton's campaign was, just a month ago, saying that it comes down to delegates. It seems to me that even with the super-delegates that are in place, Obama will be ahead after tonight. If he continues to win going into March 4th, how could currently undecided voters possibly be swayed to vote for Clinton in Texas and Ohio? I think her lead in those states will diminish between now and then, just like it has nationally over the past month. I think Obama is trapping the steam that she is losing.

Although I support Obama, I will vote for Clinton if she is nominated. Despite my respect for John McCain, we need a Democratic president to undo the damage George W Bush has inflicted on his country. The economic, diplomatic, and military messes he has left for his successor are monumental and heartbreaking. I don't know if anyone can redeem our country. But I hope!

Barack Obama has what it takes to bring us all together, if you do what you've always done, you get what you always gotten. He is the rare combination of substance and presentation, he is for all people.

Agree....I've had enough with politics as usual...an I could care even less about texas and ohio when a majority of the countr/states have already made up their mind...its time for Obama, and its time for change!

Obama 08!!!

Hillary is a person without gratitude, she leaves the states that vote for her and acts as though they don't manner, it has been six states that she has ran out and went to the bigger states, which are democaratic states anyway, where Barack wins all areas of the map. Now she runs to texas, and ohio and play on the Hispanic people thinking they are all gonna vote for her. The clinton 's are over and I hope she gets her feelings hurt.

I'm glad it's not another Clinton dynasty. We have another Bush dynasty, and look how bad it turn out.

"Obama stealing Clinton's base" . Isnt that headline a bit negative? It implies that he has to be doing something underhanded and illegal if Clintons base is jumping ship. A better headline would be "Clinton base switches team" or "rethinks postiion" or even "Obama wins over Clinton's core demographic" . I guess accusing him of "stealing" is better than the headline "Obama seduces white women" so I should count my blessings.

Julie – Independents and Republicans can vote for whoever they want in the general. The more important thing to note is that when Hillary won in NY, for example, independents and Republicans coudln't vote in the primary. So, in a general, Obama would get Democrats AND some Ind. and Rep. Hillary would only get Democrats.. .minus me!

Why won't Obama DEBATE Clinton? because he will get OWNED!!!

There has only been one debate with the 2 of them. Maybe Obama fans are afraid to find out his real knowledge on foreign affairs:

Obama, "....I will contact the president of Canada." (Chicago debate)

( for the supporters who don't know, Canada doesn't have a president. Thye have a Prime MInister)

Obama is what the people want..Hilary is still only in this race because of what superdelegates want...and Bill Clinton is a superdelegate

GO OBAMAAAAAAAAA THE REAL DEAL!

The question is... Will those independents leaning GOP vote for Obama or McCain in November. It is easy for them to cross lines when John McCain is going to win for sure. Hillary is going to pull this out. Everything is happening the way the polls predicted. Those same polls, by the way, have Hillary way up in Ohio.

Im glad that we are now coming together as a party and support Borack Obama. We are just sick and tired of the drama that Hillary has dispaly in the path two weeks. I supported Hillary, yes Im a white women but I now support Borack. Im sorry Im not going to let a republican back to the White House. I hoe Hillary get the message and know that she just can ignore all the states that Borack Obama won. All across the board. Hillary we love you, but is not your time. Lets all stand and embrace Borack Obama.

Kind regards,

Grace

I just hope that this continues with D.C. and MD tonight. Looks as if people can finally see Hill-dawg for who she is- the wife of a former, great president.

Not taking anything away from her, but please Hilary, let's unite the nation...its not your time....you can run again in 8 years. )

Obama/Hillary fans-tell me specific achievements of both the candidates?

Obama's not stealing these supporters, he has earned them, Michelle is right. Obama appears/ has appeared and will be the most consistant in his approach to the White House, and while in the White House.
O8AMA O8/ 12

Steve- Republicans want someone they think they can beat, not someone they know is smarter than their guy!

Obama is more likeable then Hillary. Let me make it plain about Hillary either you like her or you don't. I believe that the reason that Obama can dip into her pool is because he possess's something that she doesn't and that is charisma. I heard the other night on CNN that followers of either Democratic candidate wouldn't have a problem following the other candidate if elected for the nomination because they are running a similiar platforms but for me I have to say that it would be easier for followers of Hillary to jump on board with Barack then the other way around. I am a black female and I don't like Hillary nor did I like Bill during his time as president. I am backing Barack not because I am black but because at the end of the day I believe he has a better chance of getting things done versus Hillary.

With her negative swipe at Obama last night during an ABC interview, I'm afraid that Hillary will pull every trick in the book to try and win, even if it divides the Party.

Be prepared for a negative onslaught from her through March 4th.

Hillary step out of the race. Now what do you have to say.

Obama 08 yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!

Steve's right. Independents and Republicans voting for Obama is a good thing. It's how you win elections: cross party lines.

i think both candidates are doing a very tremendous job in their campaigns but it seems as if clinton was too over comfindent after winning in carlifonia and so she was layed back in her campaigns which is creeping up on her now causing her to fire her campaign manager, making obama's momentum quite unstopable at this point in time after being victorious in the recent polls

The People Have Spoken

Listen close...don't miss it...history is being made...if you listen close you can hear the chanting...Obama...Yes we can...enough said

Let me preface this by saying that although I am 56 year-old white female, I am, more importantly, an ultra-liberal die hard. I would have voted for Edwards had he gotten the nomination because of his stand on fighting poverty.

And now, my comment.

I got a great idea for a political cartoon while listening to the Virginia results tonight.

"I have a dream... that I will become President!"

That would have more substance than anything Obama has said to date.

At this point, I can see myself voting for McCain before Obama, because I at least know where McCain stands!

I've never been so proud...............don't worry Hillary you got a plan, right? Just do your thang girl, do your thang!

To Julie in Binghamton. Why are you crying about how Obama is doing better because of the Indy and Republican vote? THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! He's UNIFYING people to vote for his cause, a cause that affects ALL OF US. Who cares where the vote comes from? That's just a good sign that what he stands for makes sense to EVERYBODY, not just the White Democratic Southern vote... Oh and by the way, that vote you talk about mostly came from the 60+ bloc. I imagine that the racist values they grew up with are still firmly planted in their minds anyway.

I am Hispanic, with an African American Father, and a Latino Mother, and we're all proud to live in Clinton Country, here in the Great State of Texas.

Hillary is finally being exposed to voters to what she really is and no one likes her... I was on the fence but after listening to both it's clear Obama is a much better candidate, polls show he is faring much better against McCain, and all of the republican friends I know (which is many due to the state I live in) say they want Hillary to win because she'd be much, much easier to beat than Obama, and I believe that to be true.

Virginia is next to D.C. and they lived the Clinton's every day with all the troubles they had in the 90's. Obama has shown he can win in every part of the country. It'a Clinton fatigue and we have a choice who can win. Obama

We welcome the Clinton supporters with open arms.

Obama 08'

Hey, Romney saw the writing on the wall and stepped aside... Clinton needs to do the same thing so the dem's can get united and start working ont he general election. If she really loved the country and the party, she would see that....

She should be happy to know that people do love her, but she can not just rely on the big states, it would be an example of her divisiveness... Obama is accepted all over the country, a unifier... she needs to accept that gracefully. She'd earn me respect that way.

My dad voted for only one Republican during his lifetime – John F. Kennedy.

I'm a Republican and couldn't vote for Obama in the primary, but if he's nominated, I will vote for my first Democrat.

I see Obama slogan is slowing catching on even with Hillary die-hard supporter 'hoping people will change' toward Hillary

Chevy:

Tell that to Huckabee! He is not bowing out. I kind of like the guy.

Obama should be the Democratic nominee-I think he stands the best chance of defeating McCain in the fall. Also, after two terms of a very unpopular President, Obama would be a fresh breath of air. It would be good for America, and our standing in the world, to show a face of color in leadership. America needs a clean start, not a return to the old Clinton-style politics! Thank you, Kreg Hunter

Julie, Thanks for acknowledging that Obama would have a better chance of winning in November due to his extensive Independent support. It is time for us to unite behind the candidate that is bringing America together. We can win big in November if we choose Obama. Time to rally behind him, folks.

Bush gave the same speech about bring hope and unity to our country. Take a good look at where Bush has brought us – his obesession in the middle east, budget deficit spending and a diveided country... Haven't learned your lessons yet?? Electing Obama based on his empty promises and hypes, I need to pray we are not going to repeat the Bush years again.

Freight train...

Choo choo!!

It's all over but the crying – literally.

Obama '08 – get on the train.

Not to rain on the victory parade, but it ain't over yet.

Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas are huge in terms of delegate count. And anybody who thinks the Hilster will give up her grasp at power just because of a few losses clearly has no idea of the nature of the woman.

I want to believe Obama 's momentum will carry us over that hump (the primaries, I mean. I wasn't impugning Her Imperial Majesty, for all you rabid Clinton fans), but anything can still happen.

how can Hillary "unify" the nation if so many states and voters who are democratic, let alone repubilican, are against her! she won 11 states vs. 23 for obama now...i think she should concede...

The media is pro Obama. Hillary never had a chance, all you hear is negative comments about Hillary and CNN is not being fair. I saw T-shirts that said CNN=Obama. I will vote for Ron Paul before I vote for Obama.

Senator Clinton could be a POWERFUL Majority Leader in the Senate. Her command of the details of policies and her purported ability to sway people in one-on-one sessions would make her a VERY effective Majority Leader. Clinton + Pelosi = the POWER crew.

If this keeps up, I am definitely crossing lines and voting for McCain in November. I think we've had enough "uniters not dividers" for the time being.

GOBAMA! hILLary must be ILL! Step aside little Mama fo the man named OBAMA!

Well Melissa you could say that on both sides of the sitiation now couldn't you?

Julie,

You are so right. And that's exactly what is needed to win in November, so you made a point against a Clinton nomination.

It's time for Billary to pack up and go home. They had eight years in the White House and all they did was disgrace America. Just thinking of them back in again, gives me the creeps!

THOSE WHO SUPPORTING OBAMA MOST LIKELY ARE THOSE WHO VOTED FOR BUSH BEFORE AND WATCH IF OBAMA WON , THE MEDIA WILL START RELEASE THE NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT OBAMA ,EVER WONDERING WHY THE MEDIA DIDN'T RELEASE NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT OBAMA? YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER IN NOV

I've never believed the hype of race/gender being advantages/disadvantages for either candidate. Early primaries/caucuses were driven by hype for/against one candidate or the other. There's no way any particular 'voting block' in the democrat side can truly win/lose an election for a candidate. The candidate either resonates with voters or not. Clinton as a front runner was a strategic PR move to plant the seed that winning was for for her and nobody else. Obama rocked the boat by going against what the machine wanted to do... and voters are supporting him. Go Obama Go

Julie from Binghamton is hilarious! "How dare independents and Republicans vote for a Democrat!" LOL! Hello, Julie? That's why Obama's the electable one in November.

Obama 08! Hillary is def. out of the race, hope she's not banking on Ohio and Texas because she can't win Obama's momentum can't be stopped.

Hey Julie in Binghampton~whether you realize it or not you just made the best argument yet for supporting Obama...the man is a unifier and Hillary is a polarizer. Thank you for pointing that out .

Obama
'08
yes WE can

Julie,

Senator Clinton lost consistently with every demographic except those over the age of 55. All races and both genders voted for Obama.

People are voting for Obama because they know that McCain can beat him but not Hilary. Oh the spin of the truth by the media doesn't anyone read between the line. Poor Obama believer

Sorry Julie from Binghamton,
Take a look at the exit polls. She LOST Democrats in Virginia by close to 20 percentage points.

This is more of the same from the Clinton camp: the only votes that should count are from voters that vote for us. Please.

Go Obama!!!!!!!! Now lets hear Hillary brush this one aside.

i am SO HAPPY to say THE CLINTON EXPRESS IS RUNNING OUT OF TRACKS!! this is the kind of race i wanted to see, Obama played his game consistently and now his game is paying off. Clinton needs to bow out respectfully. The democrats have their nominee.

Hi Chris:

I support Hillary. I do not think this damages the democratic party. That is an illusion that the media is trying to feed you.

I've seen the attack du jour from the Clinton crew is that "we're electing a President, not a Preacher."

Clever, although I'd counter that we're electing a President, not a Professor.

Senator Clinton has a great command of the minutiae of arcane policies. My Political Scientist professor in college did also. I wouldn't want him running our country either.

He is a great ad man.....it's like an infomercial. You can like what you see but are you really going to like it when you get it home?

Obama is over rated.

This should be much more troubling to the Hillary campaign than the 20%+ point spread they're currently losing by to Obama in VA. If they can't play the demographic game, then they can't win in OH or TX, and they can't cry sexism/racism over their continued losses. This is even more interesting given that VA is a southern state where, up until now, demographic differences have been much more exaggerated.

I think it should be time for Hillary to bow out gracefully now. It will stand her in good stead for any future ambitions, rather than having to sneak out at a later point when she has been run over. This will also be good for the party and will allow her to be in good standing for the future. If she fights to death or play dirty, that will refect so badly not just on herself, but also on the Clinton presidency. If she insists on staying on and cause damage to the party, and yet does not win in the end, all of us should be grateful that we did not support her.

Vote for who you would like to vote for, but the Media needs to STOP campaigning for specific candidates. It's quite obvious who the majority of the media wants to win in both the Republican and Democratic nominations.

The media uses very specific words to describe the "NEWS" as they call it. But the truth should be written in a much less persuasive way.

It's time the media decides to REPORT not INFLUENCE.

Just goes ta show ya – Clinton counted eggs and not chickens. Its not over yet but its lookin weak for the lady.

If you take away the super Delegates Obama has a very good delegate lead over Clinton:

Since the Super Delegate can change lets not count them in the process at this time.

Have a great day:

All these results are the same as before except there are independents voting. They're throwing off the percentages. If you look at the numbers, she still gets the white Democratic southern vote, he doesn't. The only reason he did better was because of independents and Republicans who voted for him.

owned!!!...clinton needs to step out of the race and help Obama unify the dems...she is out.

Obama had this white middle-aged woman's vote from day one! Obama 08

Hillary's campaign is slowly crumbling. I love it!

How can Obama win without the women's support!

Oh wait...he has that.
