if a caucuses do not matter, why are you obamites so happy? listen, obama needs to win blue state to win a presidency, and you need to be a true dem to see, change is progressive and difficult, not popular and dream filled. c'mon democrates, we have everything on the line, let momma fix things, sonny has a lot to learn yet.

That slight win in NM means less for HIllary, and still a greater return for Obama.

Go OBAMA

Is CNN trying to to pull another Florida for Hillary? Why is this news? Didn't everyone know the NM race was 49-48 and the delegates divided almost evenly? Is this super tuesday win supposedly reported a week later supposed to somehow slow Obama's momentum and help Hillary's image? Who at CNN makes these decisions? Has it really gotten this bad? Wow!

Trading beer for wine – good for you – you got the message posted – I tried 5 times and CNN blew all 5 away.

If people are really for change, please consider Mr. Obama over Ms. Clinton. It is so clear to me being for change that Mr. Obama is the right choice.

And this idea that he does not have the experience, I know from experience that experience is overrated. (please excuse the pun)

Oscar Carter

I would project that, if democratic has paying the race vs. gender, the next president should belong to republican; the history has told us the fact…

democratic party should stop this, to look at a candidate qualification, should review that person's history, background, the experience, as a human, they need nine months to proceed then to grow up, nothing can jump up without taken this step, if not, it must fail, it is fairy tale.

Oh boy! Clinton wins! (Finally…)

Their counting took so long that it almost seems irrelevant now.

New Mexico was a Primary not a caucus.

Interesting how many posters would like to vote for Hillary simply because she is a woman. And then there are the fake Democrats who would vote for someone like McCain if HRC is not the nominee. How childish can you get? People with this mentality should have their vote stripped from them, but alas this is the good ole U.S. of A.

To Obama's supporter.
Whatch out for what you are looking for. You may just get it.
Hillary is best. She gets my vote. Go Hillary! President 08

Correction sir Electorial Votes not deligates!!!!!!!!! delegates.

March 4th – Go Hillary

Hillary '08 The real change!

Hilary camp should reject the victory in New Mexico.
WHY?

"Because caucus do not matter. Its is undemocratic as only party activist participate"

Hahahaha!!!!

Hillary people, remember it is a caucus and it doesn't count or matter, I believe that is what the Clintons have said when Obama won caucuses. Too bad…..

Hillary wins New Mexico!

…and loses several superdelegates…

show some love guys to the 1st lady…. stop hating way to go Hillary..All the people who are talking about Obama win, win, he's willing the small states.we all know that Algore won more votes than Bush but the deligates was what gave him the presidency so guys don't watch that.

Hillary has one the major states lets name them…NY, NH, MA,CA , AR,NJ and thats what counts , now she will win TX & PA for sure , however ; she is not stupid she will call Obama to run as VP..If he say no good luck to him.. Both of them are unstoppable.. Unite to win, divided to fall.

Texas, Ohio, vote for Hillary Please1

Viva Clinton Viva I'm not a obamican I'm a Hillaryite go Woman Go and win the Presidency you will!!!! Viva Viva

Don't mess with TEXAS…….. go Hillary !!!!!!!!!!!

we are Obama 100%, FOR tHE NEX PRESIDENT OF USA.

go hillary 100% obama you going down

Why vote in Nov if I vote is not going to count any how? Because of the super delagets.

since i used to live in texas , i know a lot of texans that will VOTE FOR HILLARY THEY ALWAYS VOTE FOR A SMART PERSON AND IN THIS RACE THE SMAT ONE IS HILLARY CLINTON

GO HILLARY , AND TEXAS BE SMART AND VOTE HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT IN 08

Its a caucus… and we all know those activists dont matter… LOL

Does anyone remember when Bill Clinton ran? He said "CHANGE" he said such some experiences are good and some are bad but you need more than experience you need vision. WOW! It's amazing how we are now see Hillary say experience. LOL!!!

go obama!!! cant believe u came so close in NM.

I can't wait till March 4th!! My favorite movie is being released to DVD and Hillary will run out of excuses. Hil, say hello to Rudy from a former NY'er when you go hang with him to study how bluffing to win one state of 50 doesn't work.

No downplaying a victory! Young voters love Hillary!

49% to 48%…..she really blew him away… Hillary's "experience" scares me, talk about caving in to special interests…….it will be more of the same… let's move on! Obama's "lack of experience" means he does not owe as many favors and can make his own decisions. So far, his own personal life decisions seem pretty solid to me.

You Obama fanatics are deaf dumb and blind. Your votes are so important for all of us, please read and inform yourselves before you vote for Obama. Don't let the media bias against Clinton mislead you.

Hillary will win Texas, Ohio and PA!

They said the delegates were already awarded. HA geez looks like the HRC campaigners are pretending to be like OBAMAMANICS!!!!

GUESS THEY CANT THINK OF THEIR OWN SLOGANS!

In New Mexico if a winner is Obama, Not Clinton, the media will be in favor and report THEIR NEWS totally different, They MUST CLAIM and Making BIG TALK by saying that: Obama is another VICTORY AGAIN, but look at today's news, the media has not mention too much, their interest is clear, because they try to avoid that news for Hillary will deliver to the public.

Why do people HATE (that is a very strong word and what has she done to these haters)

She is a brilliant woman, to still be standing after the Garbage CNN and everyone has thrown at her is quite remarkable. At least she tells us what she is going to do, not like Sen.Obama, yes we can!
Yes WE and I emphasise it again WE, meaning you and I, not him and the government.

Try giving the lady and chance and make it a fair fight. By the way, what is Sen.Kerry doing endorsing Sen.Obama, oh wait now, didn't he also vote for the #114 Joint Resolution on Iraq!!!

How pure are you now Mr. Obama, being endorsed by a man who voted for the same resolution that Hillary did…….someone needs to bring this up on National Television, then ask Sen.Obama the same question, come on Hillary supporters, lets get something going!

Hang in there, Hillary. I know you will win!

Go Hillary!!!!!!! Eat that Obama…….The man of all talk, but can he walk the talk……..He sure can make speeches but no real facts to back the words…..remember words are free…..

Boy, right now you Obama supporters are sure living in a fool's paradise. Hillary never said caucuses don't count, never! She said she hadn't expected to win in most caucus states because caucuses are dominated by activists, which her supporters are not. Also, while you are all minimizing her win in New Mexico because it was by a slim margin, don't forget how Obama "cleaned up" by getting the majority of the 500 or so votes cast in Alaska, and in the much bigger state of Missouri, he squeaked out a won by only 5000 votes ( a mere drop in the bucket compared to the overall number of votes cast in the state). And, while you are high-fiving each other about how many more states your boy has won, don't forget that Hillary won Florida by a huge margin and Michigan by a substantial percentage. All you star-stricken Obama-ites just might be celebrating too soon.

New Mexico's democratic primary is called a caucus but is not handled like a caucus. People check ballot boxes, just like a regular election.

some how i feel as if someone is looking over my shoulder and when i make a comment someone doe'snt care for i get censured,,,or im always being moderated and can never find my post's,,,,i have made dozen's of post's in these blogs but never seem to get posted,hhmmm
i'll see what happens with this one,and if i feel censured,there will be no more post's from me,,we will see…….jimdon,,st, petersburg,,florida

" Please try harder to offer objective reporting! "

I cannot agree more. CNN was so busy bashing Hillary that they and other central media did not even explain the reason behind moving Fla primary. Dems. of other states have no clue. Here it is:

The DNC rule "not to schedule a primary before February 5″ was not violated because of Florida democrats but rather, because the REPUBLICAN legislature tacked the earlier primary date on a bill that provided for paper ballots in Florida that had to be supported by democrats (a previous experience proved the need of a paper trail). So the democrats were unable to stop the movement of the primary to an earlier date. To now punish the democrats by not counting their delegates is an outrage! Obama ran lots of cable TV ads in Florida. If anything, that should be a reason to count the primary votes! Florida democrats feel disenfranchised and insulted by the DNC. They worked hard for this election and the democrats had a record turnout. The individual voters should not be punished for the State's decision. No caucus, no splitting even, no re-voting! Count the voice of Florida democrats!

Smells fishy, but congrats to HRC (she needed it)

OBAMA 2008!!!!

SHE'S GOING TO WIN.. HAHA

Something you Hillary supporters should consider … she will never carry Independents and has no chance of drawing over a significant number of Republicans in a general election. You seem to forget that Rebublicans by and large hate her and Bill … and far too many loyal Democrats are simply sick and tired of the Clintons. NY State you keep her along with her earmarks totaling over a 1/4 billion dollars!

Hillary all the way!
I think it's time Barack went into specifics so people really knew what he really inspires in people….

Just as I predicted days ago on this very same site.

Why else would slimy Bill Clinton all of a sudden feel so compelled to go watch the SuperBowl with Richardson?

Does Florida 2000 come to mind anyone?

ONLY THIS TIME, THE GOVERNOR ISN'T RELATED TO THE WINNING CANDIDATE OF HIS STATE.

America has turned into one of those countries we have always scolded for holding unfair elections that cheat the people out of their votes.

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON AMERICA!

And, shame on CNN for holding my comments.

Why does the media hate Hillary Clinton? Obama steals her ideas for the economy, etc., alters them slightly, and claims they are his. Does the media ever call him on this? No! Obama owes most of his wins to independent voters, not democrats. Does the media examine this and offer that many of those independents lean republican and only voted against Hillary, not for Obama. No! They have spent more than one year attacking Mrs. Clinton. In spite of the FACT that she alone creates plans to save the economy, health care, medicare, foreign policy, the media ignores this talent. Even when her ideas are obviously stolen by Obama, the media reports that the two candidates have similar plans. When did the press become as corrupt as our government?

Go Obama you got my vote!!!! I'm on the ground in Texas now tell my people about you!!! See you in Texas

"And the funny thing is that all these so-called commentators have their degrees in journalism, not government, political science, or history. What the heck do they know? They had probably never even heard of Barack Obama 4 months ago."

Huh? I spent nearly 40 years in radio and television news and can tell you that most "commentators" do NOT have degrees in journalism…where did you get that idea? News people have all sorts of degrees and some (like Peter Jennings) never went to college.

And almost everybody in the news business remembers Barack Obama's spellbinding speech at the 2004 Democratic convention.

how many large states has obama won ?he won all the states that will be won by republicans in the the fall.he has had a free ride but i think he will have to explain his record instead of just preaching.just remember the ninty's when we had a safe and prosperous county.

I live in a caucus state & I certainly wish they'd go for a primary. Iowa will never do that because it has to be 1st in the nation. This last one was a joke. Bitter cold night, held at 6:30 and confusion galore. The people who work 2nd shift couldn't partake. As for you Obama supporters …you know where you can go. You are such nasty people and your "leader" is such a good Gof fearing person and a presacher on the campaign trail.

to all you obama lovers media included are you trying to show your ignorance ever time you nblog or are ye really ignorant cant ye mindless fools see that he is just a preecher that the repulican party want to go against because he has no substance.get a life he is no saviour how sade is your life no one is going to make your life better but yourself. the clintons are respected by the rest of the world and at the moment usa is a laughing stock. wasters vote for obama because their easly led

Winning by 1% is next to being meaningless. I guess this is the best news one can get about Hillary right now.

she needs to disclose her tax returns! where did she get the 5 million to loan her campaign? why not release your tax returns now, why is she waiting to do so after the election, whats she got to hide?

Give the american public a break; (using one of Bill's lines) we all know what this is about; politics as usual ; what Obama speaks of when he means CHANGE. . . this is NOT a win for Hillary; 48% to 49%; ii does not even make sense since ; yet it took 9 days to get the results. I really think Obama won this Caucus . . . remember Hillary does not believe in Caucuses . . . Obama is on a roll; ironic this announcement came out today . . . YES WE CAN.

I have to say that I just truly do not get the Obama supporters. He talks about "change" but he really doesn't say what he intends to change or how. He is severly lacking in experience and his campaign seems to thrive on attacking Hillary than talking about what he intends to do but not how he is going to do it. I believe that Hillary Clinton has held her head up high even when being publicaly humiliated, she has shown that she is as tough as nails. Obama sites times when she changes her political position as being a sign of weakness. You know what, I think that it shows a willingness to acknowledge that maybe there is a better than she first thought and is not afraid to say so. I will vote republican before I vote for Obama because I think that he is the worst choice possible

Apparently there are more intelligent people in New Mexico than I had originally thought. They chose the candidate with a plan over the one with the dream. We can't afford to elect someone just because they are good at reading speeches; you might note, Hillary, like her husband, can speak intelligently and fervently without tele-prompters and cue cards. Obama's speeches are recited and read. My first choice was Joe Biden, because he didn't need props and scripts to make a point. He spoke from the heart, and left me with the feeling that there was no "politicking" in what he said, in fact, some faulted him for being too candid. We need more of this in our public figures. We are tired of being conned and lied to. We need someone who can speak the truth without having to read it from a prepared script.

YEH! FOR HILLARY!!!! She is the most qualified in this lineup! I know her and her record. I fear what Obama will do to our country.
He scares me. He sticks his nose so high up in the air that
He HAS to look DOWN on EVERYONE…………even YOU! This concerns me. Just look at all of his photos and videos. He is almost always in a stuck up posture. remember the debates. Am I the only one that sees this?

Your rock! LatinoNation.

Hillary will WIN IT ALL.

She actually has two more delegates from this state, most of you are saying one. And Hillary never said caucuses don't count, she merely stated the fact that they are undemocratic in nature, which is true. State wins don't matter, this is a delegate race and although it is nice for a candidate to say they "won a state," in the end it means nothing. Just wait for the upcoming states…Hillary is gaining percentage points in ALL of them in the polls! I think the empty message of hope and change is wearing thin for those of us who are smart enough to know that you have to have concrete knowledge of the issues and be willing to work hard in order to make positive change happen! GO HILLARY!!!

I wonder how much Bill paid New Mexico to conveniently announce Hillary had finally won something after losing to Obama eight times in a row. Oh well, New Mexico is old news. Plus its a caucus, so in Hillary's words, I guess it doesn't matter.

The world is watching to see the democracy that America wants everyone wants to have.

its very nice to hear that hillary has won new mexico. because if it wasnt for msnbc
on televison always talking about how much of a bully
the clintons are when they start pointing out how week obama
is on specifics and making it a race issue. hillary would have been
way ahead in this election race. now its got me and many hispanics
in the tri-state ct /pa/ ny /nj talking about how if obama wins we won't
vote which is something that we all have great pride in doing since
we became democrats if he (obama) can't be spoken about he should not be runing for PRESIDENT. just because the media fell in love with
him.

Congrats Hillary. I said it before and I will say it again. Two excellent candidates. Make your decision based on whose policies you like the most and who you think will be able to execute their policies. Stop bashing Obama, stop bashing Hillary. Let this play out and let the people vote. Go Democrats!

Ah, what a surprise! We have a story about a statewide victory by Senator Clinton, but here on Obama News Network, the front-page link is to a story about a single superdelegate changing his allegiance to the media-favored candidate. Shocker!

Also, he probably hasn't congratulated her yet because it is Valentines Day and he is probably with his wife. I noticed they took the day off from campaigning.

Hillary is the only candidate that can fix the mess the republicans have created.Go Hillary

Allmost all race are close …..so what the BIG deal? I'm voting Hillary Clinton.

Independent Voter…8)

There were some states that Obama won that were very close. He won Alaska what a joke 400 people voted. Idaho less than 20,000 and there were quite a few more with less than 50,000 total votes for both. If Obama would have won NM all his supporters including the media would have chalked another up for him. It doesn't matter how close she won and that is the bottom line.

go clinton stop obama

Obama move over! here comes Hillary. I am sick of Obamarama with his high school rallys and his long windy sermons. He says nothing of substance. If you want a preident that you can just feel good about then keep GW, wasn't he sold as the down to earth guy just like us that you can sit down and have a beer with? see where thay got us.

WE NEED SOLUTIONS THAT ARE REAL!WE NEED HILLARY AND BILL.

CNN where's the big headline for Clinton winning New Mexico. If Obama had won, I'm sure it would be a big deal to the media. She is going to continue winning and she is here to stay!
Hillary '08

Samantha
Atlanta, GA

To all the obama lover that keep chanting YES WE CAN like they're in a cult. You have to realize YES SHE HAS. She's delivers on action. Empty promises, speeches and Hope doesn't put food on the table, gas in the tank or pay bills. Like President Fillmore said It's not uncommon for people to confuse Change with Progress. I have no doubt that Obama can bring change, But it won't be progress.

The Clinton machine grossly underestimated Barack Obama. They thought Hillary's nomination was going to be a cake walk. What they failed to realize was the fact that Obama was a community organizer in Chicago and he has organized one hell of a campaign that has the Clintons back on their heels. Hillary keeps saying that Obama's speaches won't put food on your table nor gas in your car. Well has any of her speeches put any food on anyone's table or gas in their car? If she has 35 years of experience just what has she accomplished in those 35 years? If she has 35 years of experience and the country is in the mess that it is in her 35 years of experience has helped create this mess. No more Clintons. All they do is use you until they get what they want and then they have no more use for you.

Folks are really reckless with their words….
I wish Hillery the best of luck in her campaign,
I hope it turn's out just as she planned!!!

Ruth…..

1% victory in New Mexico? Not looking good for her in Texas.

Congratulations to the winning candidate. Substance will prevail.
Clinton '08

Hillary I prefer you don't tear each other apart now, it won't help you. Obama need you in his quest for the whitehouse. Even though you have no more to offer the country, you surely can play a part in his cabinet as vice or other position.
As for me, I see the race coming to an end, please join Obama . Hillary knew the guy is very good, but because she needs the presidency despirately she wants to go negative.
Please don't because it will hurt you and hurt the party.
Be a wise lady!!!

She does not care about small states, or caucas Hellloo
and what is this 1 % margin?>??

"The final tally was given as 73,105, or about 49 percent, for Clinton and 71,396, or 48 percent, for Obama."

waooo that is a big win????? mmmm
who is writing this articles?

and also there are three or four people here who write in the blog _ they are the same 3 or 4 cheering for Billary Dynasty but under several nick names.. mmm one has to wonder is thigs going on with the votes as well…………..

Finally…it is about time she won….somthing. lol

Both McCain and Clinton made the same comments regarding caucuses. Personally, I would do away with them. There's too much room for hankie pankie and usually the numbers that vote are about 10 percent of the registered voters. Folks, not many people are making decisions for a lot the the voters in those states. Did you watch the caucus voting in Nevada at the casinos? You had a room with union bosses watching you vote. If that is not intimidation, I don't know what is.
I think Obama's campaign played the caucus states with great mastery. And yes, caucuses are for activists.

With that said I congratulate Hillary on her win in New Mexico, particularly since it is a caucus state and that's been Obama's bread and butter.

CONGRATS SENATOR CLINTON

WE ARE WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU TALK WITH US (Not AT us)!

We are tired of speeches and litany, WE NEED YOU FOR THE FIXES THAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS.

One win in the soon-to-come STRING

Yes We WILL !!!
Hillary 08

R in SF:

Obama won by 689 votes in Maine, not by 300. More importantly, he won by a margin of 19%.

these people can't be democrats. I have never heard such hate from one of us. Reserve this for republicans. We will need as all this to go against them . don't you remember what they did to John Kerry?

Thank you NEW MEXICO!! Thank you to all the people who took the time to make sure all the votes were counted correctly. I just wish the above comments would stay positive and comment only on the issues that matter for this country. If these people could only focus on making a difference positively, instead of vicious name calling and being hurtful to others.

GO HILLARY!

She isn't going to win Ohio. Obama is going to win that state. Who wants to see her husband Bill back in the Oral Office again?

You guys are all idiots CNN (and those of you who are bashing Hillary for this "caucus win")…

New Mexico was a primary, not a caucus… Hence "counting ballots". Duh!

So, no, I do not believe Hillary will be eating her words about caucuses.

Well, isn't that special……

I think the red states that Sen. Obama won don't really count. Hillary will win OH, PA and PA and seal the nomination,

So, what!!! this is an effort trying to steal obama"s big MO!!! Mission unaccomplished!!! we the people want change, "CHANGE" the people have spoken so Deal with it!!

I'm not African American but if I were I'd consider switching parties in large numbers if I were them if Barak Obama doesn't get the nomination. After all, Hillary and Bill have made it clear to my ears that she's written them off. They vote in huge numbers and can gain influence and a respectful ear I'm sure from the Republican party. They've switched parties before and now doesn't look like a bad time to me at all for them to consider switching with Senator McClain as the nominee. I'm sure that he would consider them valid during this upcoming race even if Senator Clinton and husband don't. I knew the Dems would find a way to blow what looked like a gift campaign.

Doesn't change the delegate count.

Go Senator Clinton. Substance over FLUFF, and a can of worms about to get opened at any moment!!!

Hillary can't even unite the Democratic party, much less bring this country back together after 8 years of the bush divide.

Experience=Action=CHANGE

Rhetoric=Votes

HILLARY ALL THE WAY

Individual voting in a primary works best because it's not public. Also, only registered democrats and registered republicans should vote in their respective primaries. Undecided or independent voters should either produce a candidate or wait until the General Election in November. Caucuses can easily pursuade some people to follow the crowd without reason.

You all should just stop this nonsense, when did democrats or even independents become so vicious, I thought the republicans had the market on political bashing, come November we will need to come together if we do not want more of what we have now. We can all have opinions and we all have a vote. I am happy to see that so many are FINALLY engaged, and hope that the ones commenting here are not people who just sat back for the past eight years . Hillary or Obama is better than Mc Cain or worse Huckabee and if this does not stop that is who we will have in the White House one of those canidates. I will be quite pleased if ANY democrat wins the White House!

I don't get it! Why are women so quick to sell other women out. Have we as women sunk so low that we can't imagine ever having a viable candidate (a women) without a man proping her up? If Hillary was not marry to Bill her name would not be on the ticket at all! None of the male candidates are running based on the wives (remember McCain's spouse???) What is going on with us women.

Hillary put up $5 million of her own money- how could she possibly understand what a person who makes less than 50,000 go through on a day to day basis. Be real!

Wake up people you are voting for Bill Clinton not Hillary, just admit it.

It may not be any worthy after all last eight state's results. Hillary has shown her edge over Obama in important states like Florida, California, and possibly Ohio. But Obama looks like a nominee of democrat. In any case, republican should be very happy now.

R in San Fran, Obama won Maine by a LOT more than 300 votes. Maine, like true caucus states, reports results based on the number of delegates won to the state or county conventions. New Mexico was more of a "short primary" than a true caucus, and was run by the Democratic party rather than by the state government. Also, remember, this happened 9 days ago. Obama still has his 8 contest streak going. If the New Mexico Democratic party had their act together, this result would have been known on that day, or at least by the 6th.

New Mexico was a caucus in name only. I believe it had something to do with a legal requirement because the primary has historically been much later and four years ago, the Dems decided to vote early. Nonetheless, if you voted in the New Mexico "caucus", you went to a polling place and everything was done the same as it is in a normal primary. IOW: There weren't a lot of people standing around expressing their opinions and though it was called one thing for all intents and purposes, it was actually another.

Oh, and to you who say you will support whoever is the nominee, hmmm….I will write myself in for the job before I vote for someone without any experience.

stuart in l.a., is a joke. If anything they would much rather face Hillary. Half the country hates her, and Obama polls much higher than her against McCain. If anything, we don't need another president which half the country hates. Obama!!! YES WE CAN!

This is great news. Hopefully the New Mexico votes for action over words will remind the country that we are choosing a president- a job that requires so much more than great rhetoric.

Go Hillary!

I can't stand HER.. if she wins i am voting green. I am not into 2 faced, coniving people. YUCK. Plus, her health care is being paid for by US.. out of your pay checks. jesus….. pay attention people.

It should be embarasing to the Clintons for wining a caucus. "Caucuses are for artivists." she said. She forgot the happy face she put after wining Laveda caucuses even though he won her on delegates. It is a shame that she cannot even recognized those who voted for her in MARYLAND, VIRGINIA, AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. These were PRIMARIES and not CAUCUSES which he won big.

They will do anything to win. After losing in these three primaries, she gave excuses and failed to recognized the population that voted for her.

Obama shall win ohio, texas, wisconsin and hawai BIG.

OBAMA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT AND MICHELLE THE FIRST LADY.

While New Mexico is considered a caucus state, it is not run like the other caucuses. It is more like a primary where people are permitted to vote in private. There are fewer polling places than regular primaries and the voting is done in smaller time periods but it is nothing like the circus atmosphere that exists in a regular caucus. There were also a lot more people voting in New Mexico than are able to vote in the other caucuses. Do you people really think that 405 votes in Alaska represents all the Democrats in the entire state? Most causes only represent 1% – 3% of registered voters, some even less than that. There is nothing democratic or representative about it. You Obama people are only kidding yourselves.

Good luck to the both of them. ( Huge OBAMA Supporter!!!) Catch him if u can, Lady Clinton!!!!!

News Flash!!!!Check out a recent bill named the Obama Bill over 8 Billion Dollars to help other countries starving people. What about the United States. That will get some new tax revenue out the american dollar. Obama what are you thinking?

HILLARY SAID CAUCUSES ARE FOR ACTIVISTS, AS THEY ARE. WHY SHOULD SHE APOLOGIZE? BECAUSE SHE SAID THAT AND SHE WON? YOU ACT LIKE SHE SAID "CAUCUSES BLOW AND IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I NEVER WIN THEM"

To say she has to apologize is illogical and stupid…but then again, you support Obama. It all makes sense in the end.

As the Clintons celebrate this delayed victory, their hypocrisy is revealed once again.

I'd wager that if New Mexicans were to hold their vote again today, Obama would win by a significant margin. The tide has turned across the nation as these last 8 contests have shown us.

Obama was supposed to fight for that bill. He did not, not after Exelon directly gave him campaign money. GAVE *HIM* money.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!
Pride goeth before a fall, and I predict that Obama is heading toward a fall.

This is absolutely hilarious! I do not believe for one second that New Mexico went to Clinton. This is the sort of thing I see coming from the Clintons. It is so obvious that the Clintons are set to steal this election. Yes, Hillary is that desperate! I watched her performance with the child with the giant Mexican hat last evening. It was obvious to me that it was all staged. I wonder what kind of promises she's making with those so called super delegates and I wonder if the super delegates are willing to lose their seats for the Clintons? Finally, how are we to perceive Clinton now that she wants to break party rules for Florida and Michigan? If that is not desperation, what is it? Could we call it stealing?
Go Obama! Save us from these old Democrats. We Need Change Now!!!!!!!

You know what. This sure smells like New Hampshire, and Nevada to me. "There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear"

Go Hillary!!

One more delegate to the finish!!

She has won almost all the states in the Southwest, only one more to go on March 4th!!!!!

YES WE WILL, YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To Lisa. Hillary was supposed to win New Mexico with a land slide victory. This didn’t happen because of the ignorant activists. I don’t understand what you wanted her to do? Did you want her not to win so that you don’t call her double faced politician? What a smart remark.

Keep yelling and screaming Dems- we are headed for another Kerry incident just like last time. The Repubs are sabotaging our primaries by crossing lines. They will cross back over in November because there ain't no way they will vote for one of the most liberal senators out there. (I did it myself for McCain years ago. Voted for him in the primaries to stop Bush, having no intention of staying with the Repub vote in the general election.) They don't want Hillary to run because they are afraid of her. She has repeatedly defeated them all! Let her teach Obama for the next 4 years, and then he can continue after he has her tenacity and strength. Hillary '08

so, if Obama had won New Mexico im sure all the Hillary haters would be on here complaining that she hasnt congratulated him yet.

Caucuses are a Sham! I for one would not go to a person's home or Public Place and stand around for hours on end, listening to everyone Babel on and on just to have my Vote counted. I want to get in the Booth, make my choice and go home. Millions of Americans feel the same and they avoid going. So for the most part Caucuses are for those who are part of political Groups. They should do away with Caucus States and go to Primary Voting only!

What a small margin and not significant for delegates. Keep Hope alive Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to join in the name-calling. Apparently its acceptable for people to make fun of Obama's name, so it should be ok to make fun of all other candidates in an immature, Coulter/Limbaugh-esque way:

So here goes…Say No to….

Smellary Rod-Ham Clinton and John "Insane" McCain

Wow, I feel like a 3-year-old…and you name-calling idiots should too… Grow up, or please, don't vote.

Why bother with reporting the news that Hillary won the small state in of all things an unimportant to her Caucus. Hasn't she made it crystal clear that she has no interest in Caucuses or the smaller populated states? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that Senator Obama is thrilled with his 48% of support from the great people of New Mexico – I only wonder if she's snubbing her nose at her very narrow margin victory.
I'm really sick of hearing her voice over the TV already. God I hope that I won't have to endure 4 years of that shrill.

Causes don't count . . . unless she wins them.

States with large African American populations don't count . . . unless she were to win one.

What counts are states broadly representative of the country . . . except, say, Virginia or Maryland.

Please folks, not another four years of the Clinton spin machine.

Liz in CA:

"Who at CNN decided that 49 to 48 percentage is a "WIN" for Clinton? Talk about a technical win….and it certainly doesn't help her in her delegate count. And besides, doesn't she dislike caucus state decisions as not real? OBAMA 08!!!"

Notice Liz does not mention Missouri, which was declared a win for Obama and is constantly cited as among those many states that helped Obama "beat" Clinton on Super Tuesday. Let's not be biased now, dear. A win is a win.

Hillary Clinton should STEP DOWN. She is not only dividing the democratic party but the country. She has lost the election. All she is concerned about is power, power, power. I am sure Billy and her will work behind the scenes to try to get "delegates" from Michigan and Florida to tip the balance. 4 more years of Clinton, NO !

So, will she fly down for a victory rally and say "I found my voice and a positive spin"? Or maybe caucus states do count for Clinton, but only if they begin with the word "New" and vote for her.

The may be some iregularities that when down over there at NM.well it doesn't mean anything for obama cause he is still leading in delegates.OBAMA

Yes!!!!!!!! bring it on down to Texas! I can't wait, because Obama will be the the victor!!!!!

Hey James,
what about Missouri and the other close states. Do they count for Obama?
Get a life!!!!

For the record, 2000 votes is a FAR bigger margin than Obama won in numerous states. In Maine Barack won by about 300 votes. Even the red-red states gave Barack a small margin when you look at the numbers.

Also, Clinton cares very much about Wisconsin. She will be spending all weekend there. I am a native and my family is still there, so I hear about it.

Obviously I am a strong Clinton supporter, but I still will commit to support whoever is the nominee, and I would expect the same from Obama supporters. Let's try to focus on the real issue here, people. These flames help only one group: Republicans.

C'mon give the woman a break, she won. If Obama won CNN would probably have a headline like Obama trounces Clinton in NM.

Cnn Please delete those nonsense name calling Osama Obama from the public blog. It a shame that our country men are calling candidate names of people that do us harm.
A pitty my friends watch your words, you aren't talking in your kitchen.

Stop this shameless copycat:

Copy King's speech tone
Copy Clinton's idea and plan

Can you imagine the future president have nothing in mind, and only know how to use words to misleading minds? and just copy and paste to look like he have something to say?

Only one to one debate can show this guy's true ability, he even can't talk smoothly. Watch the last 1 to 1 debate.

We have voted such a likeable, a uniter in the past 8 years, wake up!

Hillary's comments are a bit unfortunate now that she is declared winner in New Mexico. I think she should apologise to voters in the caucuses nationwide

The Clinton spin on this one will definitely be interesting. A caucus state that she wins, but yet again she cannot take more delegates. It is starting to look like, as a result of the delegate counts being so close when she does win, that Clinton will NOT be the nominee.

Wow.

I hope the people in Ohio and Texas make a wise decision and not cast their vote for Hillary. Why in the world would we want another Clinton in the White House.
Hillary is not a UNITER BUT A DIVIDER AMOUNG THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
VOTE BARACK OBAMA!!!!

Hillary will take the states she needs, like Texas. She is on her way back. Go Hill Go! Either she wins, or I jump she!

"Hillary complaint about ties of Obama to Exelon"

Now it turns out that Mr. Penn’s company, Burson Marsteller, has also been an Exelon consultant. An Exelon spokesman confirmed a report today on the Huffington Post that Mr. Penn’s firm was recently paid $230,000 for public relations work last year in New Jersey, where Exelon was seeking to renew a license for one of its nuclear plants.

Mr. Penn’s memo also left out another inconvenient fact, one that had been mentioned in The Times story: Mrs. Clinton was a co-sponsor of Mr. Obama’s radioactive-leaks bill.

That's a bitter angry thing to say Lisa.

She is correct, it is for activists. It happened to go in her favor here – but I don't think her position on caucuses have changed.

You have to REALLY want to caucus to go. It is time consuming and an inconvenience. Primaries are much better and get more people involved.

Clinton '08, baby! She will beat all competitors and become our next president.

Wow, all 10 comments here are all against HILLARY, give her some credit guys, SHE WON New Mexico, you are so mean and selfish to HILLARY! Can't believe it!

Clinton did not break Obama winning streak because this was since February 5. CNN need to do better than this. Obama won all primary and caucuses after February 5.

That's great news! Go Hillary!

Oh, sorry, caucus state. Caucuses are "not significant," according to the Clinton campaign.

Sorry, New Mexico. But please vote Democratic in November.

The lady can't win with people that just hate her,well we love her in my state.

Finally! You go, Hillary! Now let's get Texas, Ohio and Pennyslyvania.

Hmmm maybe now the Clinton's will think caucuses matter.
Shame on the Clintons for implying that any vote cast, caucus or otherwise, in this primary season didn't (or doesn't if you're in WI) matter. Shame on them!

Lisa ………..LOL……….She will be singing a different tune today , because she won. But the delegate count split , so it doesn't change anything. Plus the superdelegates are starting to jump ship now , and going to Obama.

About 3 more weeks , and Clinton is done.

Who at CNN decided that 49 to 48 percentage is a "WIN" for Clinton? Talk about a technical win….and it certainly doesn't help her in her delegate count. And besides, doesn't she dislike caucus state decisions as not real? OBAMA 08!!!

Hillary will lose.

obama is going down

Hillary said that caucuses were for "activists". She eats her own words in New Mexico.

What a two-faced politician

The lead-in should be changed to "Barely Wins" or "Nominally Wins"

Congratulations to Sen. Clinton for a close and well-fought race. Unfortunately, this is too little, too late. The rest of the states see they can vote for Obama and vote for integrity, transparent government and working together to solve problems.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now bring on Wisconsin, Texas and Ohio.

Now,let's see…do you think that Hillary Clinton will dismiss this CAUCUSES State now that she won it?…
"Caucuses don't represent the Electorate"…right?

Excellent Hillary! I know the media, especially Obama's surrogate journalists will water down this important victory.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE IN NEW MEXICO SHOULD CALL VOTERS IN THE UP COMING PRIMARY STATES, AND TELL THEM WHY YOU SUPPORTED HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if I am not mistaken, JFK lost the popular vote in "49 and won
the electoral vote…
also, is it true that during a debate of both parties, that Obama
did not place his hand over his heart when all others did during
the national anthem? And he wants to lead a country he can't
show respect for?

Wao!!! this is good news for Hillary, at least some activists and non democratic elements in the party are also voting for her.

congrats hillary. but 48% for obama. looks like he's cutting into the latino vote!
obama o8

Let Michigan and Florida have a new caucas/primary date and let the people vote again. or split the delagate in half for Clinton and Obama. What not to do is let Clinton say she won and she gets them. If that happens I will not only vote for McCain I will donate time, money and whatever any little voice I have to defeat Hillary Clinton. And will never vote Democrat again untill the Clintons and their ilk have been driven from office. Although, that may not be much of a threat because if the thief of votes by Clinton would insure her general election defeat and the loss of a golden Democratic opportunity would cause the Clinton's and their Quislings to be given the metiforically equivalent of being tarred and feather and run out of town on a rail. Potentially causing a total split of the party.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ….so what? Old news? She won by a few votes…gonna take more than that to beat our man Barack!

YES! Great to hear. Especially with all these negative articles, such as "Is Hillary's campaign eroding?" Gimme a break. Hillary is alilve and kickin and is the best democratic candidate for our country!

It was Hillary who said just two days ago that caucus votes are managed by activists and do not represent popular vote, basically rubbishing Obama's caucus victories. Today, after her victory in New Mexico Caucus, we see her thanking New Mexico for their votes and support.

How is New Mexico any different from rest of the caucuses. I am getting a little tired of Hillary's spin and distortion of facts. As Obama has said, people say just about anything to get elected.

Is this the leadership we want ?

Hillary won by only 1,709 votes after weeks of counting to sort thru voting irregularities in New Mexico.

That, and all the recent losses, just isn't a very good sign for Hillary. If the DNC goes against their own rules on Florida and Michigan or uses superdelegates to coronate Hillary their nominee, she can't win against McCain.

Some of McCain's weapons will be the very history of the good old 90's that allowed terrorists threats to go unanswered until 9/11. During the 90's while Bill was in office these things made history:
The 1993 World Trade Center bombing
The 1995 Tokyo subway Sarin attack
The 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing
The 1996 Summer Olympics Bombing
The 1996 & 1998 Osama Bin Laden Declared War on America
The 1998 East African bombings
The 1999 FALN terrorist pardons by Clinton (bombed NYC in 1982)
The 2000 USS Cole bombing
The 2000 Millennium bombing plot

What confidence does that give you for our future security?

With numbers that close they will SPILT the delegates.
Since it was part of the Super Tuesday votes it won't bring much momentum for the Clinton team.

We are Fired Up and Ready to Go down here in Texas!

Obama '08/'12

please tell me why you all brushing this off she won but if hope man had one it would have been celebrated.

yeah, but it doesn't really count because its a small state and a caucus, right Hillary?

Alright Hillary, you won this one. You deserve it, you deserve it.

She "won" 49-48. Oh yes, it was a whuppin'.

Good to see a state highly organized and with its business in order… nawt!

New Mexico did NOT drink the kool-aid!

Go Hillary!

Finally she won something…..took a while there.

….Ok, Out of all the places for Prez Bill to view the Super Bowl!!!!!!! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, he just so happens to spend it with the Gov in New Mexico, and now Hiliary has just been declared the winner of that state, her only win. If this is the Clinton machine at work, and if she is successful, we should hear the Gov's name again!!!

Let's not forget how Gov Jeb delivered for George W, in direct contrast to the exit polls.

And Hillary still can't be trusted. None of the Clintons can be trusted. Why not release the tax records Hillary?

This is only a win if Mrs Clinton will embrace the people who voted for her instead of insisting that all caucus goers are zealots and not reflective of the general electorate. Because she is prone to do and say anything to get elected, I will not hold my breath in waiting for her to admit that her slam against the caucus goers of Nevada and New Mexico (who voted for her) were somehow less important than the voters in Michigan and Florida who, it seems to Mrs Clinton, hold more weight.
Integrity from the Queen of Spin? I doubt it.

Funny that Hillary doesn't so much as acknowledge the previous 8 states where she's lost but in a win she's all over a press release thanking the voters of New Mexico….Congratulations Hillary needed some good news that's for sure!

I'll be interested to see how her new attacks come across….

-MIke

Colon, I'm withholding any comment on the name, finally announces the winner of New Mexico's caucus after a speech that was remanescent of a drunken kareokee singner, whew! Give someone a microphone and watch them live out their 15 minutes of fame. Was it only 15 minutes?

I live in California -New Mexico finally goes to Hillary Clinton Latinos have been dedicated supporters of Hillary it showed in California,New York,Florida and now New Mexico, and as will Texas will and Ohio. Hillary is and will win Texas,Ohio and Pensylvania or at least 2 out of 3 , I liked to see more positive things about Hillary the Media appears to be in favor or Obama, Please be fair as both are great in there own ways. I stand by Hillary because she will have every American have Medical Care which it should be a MORAL thing talks and will delivery RESOLVE Experience CHANGE. Will bring back jobs , economy will bounce back quickly once in office she is more likely to be ready from day 1 to make changes. Thank You for allowing me to blog..

I volunteered as a poll observer that day and IT WAS A MESS!!! I am ashamed for NM! People were so confused and many didn't even know where they were suppose to vote. And somehow there were more votes casted then there were those who were registered at my location and it was in favor of Hillary!!!!!!!!!!!

I have made my complaints to the NM STATE DEMS OFFICE!

Hey, Hillary! Si, se puede!!!!!!!

great job hillary you will be president i need your experience and so does the rest of america mabey the rest of the voters will get smart .whate we dont need is four more years of the rebublicans in office if the voters arent careful we will get them back in office obama talks a good talk but what has he really done to prove he is capable to run this country he has no experience he is still to young and wet behind the ears. john mccain will chew him up in a debate never served in the military no account of any accomplishments concerning national security and the list will go on and on. democrats you better think about this . good job new mexico thank you you join us in oklahoma. hillary is the best choice the onley choice

GO HILLARY! WIN!!

Mexicans are keeping Hillary alive, California, New York, New Mexico, now she needs them for Texas and Ohio. If she gets elected she will have a huge IOU to the Mexicans and that means nothing gets done on immigration. She had 8 years for Healthcare and nothing got done. She supported the trade agreements so nothing will get done on trade, she supported the war so she is lying when she says she will leave iraq. Republicans in congress will purposely sabatoge anything she does just to please conservatives who want her to fail, she will get nothing done.

Obama keeps talking about CHANGE, but he doesn't say what he's going to change except getting troops out of Iraq and a health care plan. I don't hear any specifics.
I don't like his health care plan. The uninsured will still clog up the ERs instead of going to a primary doctor.
Wish he would be asked about specific changes when they debate next Thursday.

Finally, a positive comment from CNN. Why now after causing all the mess to her campaign and accusing her of the wrong thing?

Finally some win for my dear Hillary. You go Girl!!

GREAT!!
Now Hillary's winning streak starts again!!!

Senator Clinton will have to regretfully decline her victory in NM. After all she does not believe that caucuses count. Right?

There's NO stopping now my dear PRESIDENT…Let us all Go our way to the White House…it is our NEW BEGINNING and it is THEIR END…We love you Hillary…God Bless You…God Bless Us…God Bless America…HRC '08

Obama was leading. What happened? I think Bill and Bill had something to do with this.

Every one counts. Take it and keep going. Sorry that you were "forced " to start bursting Obama's balloon because the media has been so bias. However, I will say, today, the media,for the first time, has been more fair. Hope this continues.

This should be ALLLLL over the news tonight.

New Mexico is one we need to win in November and HILLARY won it.

She is winning the states that have to be won in November – who cares about North Daktoa and many others as they will go republican.

Texas is going to give Hillary a Texas size win and people in Ohio are too smart and will see through the fluffy speeches of Obama.

Even tonight on TV, they said Obama wont debate because Hillary will beat him. Wow that is really going to hold up when he is talking to Foreign Leaders – um I dont wanna talk to him hes too strong and might beat me.

He is just like the Koolaid drinkers voting for him. The intelligent people of Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania will get it right and vote for Hillary – just like New Mexico did – She is a vote for solutions not fluffy speeches.

At last some good news for Clinton. Congratulations Hillary…

But, Yes We Can!

Obama 2008

This race becomes even more interesting with the new revelation that half the ballots from Rio Arriba County spent the night at a state legislators home that had endorsed Senator Clinton. From New Mexico Politics:

The New Mexico Democratic Party caucus may be tainted by three ballot boxes that spent the night in the home of the Rio Arriba County party chair or the homes of other local election officials instead of being reported to the state party.

Those ballots still haven’t been counted, but they have been retrieved by the state party.

Several sources told me the ballot boxes spent the night at the home of Rio Arriba County Democratic Party Chair Theresa Martinez, whose state-lawmaker husband, Sen. Richard Martinez, endorsed Hillary Clinton. But Richard Martinez told Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Kate Nash that the boxes actually spent the night in the homes of three polling-place managers. He gave Nash no explanation for why the results from those ballots weren’t reported to the state party last night and why they were instead kept overnight in officials’ homes.

Would it be too much for me to question whether Ms. Martinez might've taken a sneak peak at some of those ballots? It gets worse.

The three ballot boxes from Rio Arriba County and a fourth from Sandoval County account for the 2 percent of precincts that haven’t yet reported results from Tuesday’s caucus. With about 200 votes separating Clinton and Barack Obama, that’s huge. We’re talking about the ballots from half the polling places in Rio Arriba County.

I want to make sure this point is emphasized: Roughly half the votes from Rio Arriba County spent the night in the privacy of the home or homes of one or more election officials in boxes those officials may have had the ability to open. All the county party chair had to do last night to report the results was make a phone call. That never happened.

This process has apparently sparked both the Obama and Clinton campaigns to send lawyers in to resolve the debate.

Now I guess the only question is which Clinton endorsee gets to store ballots in their home in Ohio.

Finally! Although I am an Obama supporter, I hope Hillary realizes the importance of us "so-called" small states. Congrats to the Senator and former first lady. Best of luck to both candidates.

Hey….this state suddenly gonna count for Hillary…remember caucus are run by activists…..But New Mexico is different coz Hillary won…what a sore loser she is!!!

Wake up American look an see what is going on in NM- if you spend a night and watch the superball game with the Leader of the State your wife could win the election…!
Look for more of the Clintons… they will stop at nothing to win!

LOL that is such a crock…

Two words-

Bill Richardson.

Woot!!! GO HILLARY!

Thank you New Mexico! Now Gov. Richardson should add this story as to why he should endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton

Some people who have visited me in Santa Fe over the years didn't know that New Mexico was in the USA. I'm not so sure myself, sometimes.

Congratulations Hillary..is not that what you want
Now stop being so negative and harm the party…you can do anything to win….

why is this even news? 9 days to count ballots?!?! whats so important about NM anyway that they had to count and recount votes?!?!
and it only made a difference of 2 delegates between them. but what irked me the most was the guy annoucing it, took like 10 mins plugging nonsense instead of telling us what we were there to hear.

Clinton wins New Mexico; are you sure?

Yeah but they have a small population and it was a caucus so they don't matter…oh wait Hillary won so never mind.

A day late a dollar short.We will take our delegates Thank You. OBAMA 08

I would love to see Bill Richardson endorse Hillary. He certainly knows that experience DOES matter in the highest office. It does not come with training wheels.

I see once gain, that any positive new for Hillary becomes a small blurb, downplayed by "oh, but she only won one more delegate" unlike all of senator Obama's wins (and the banner that appears with his picture at the top of the screen when he does…)
Please try harder to offer objective reporting!

I know CNN and the Republicans would rather have an all-out fight. However, be it Hillary or Obama, Democrats will rally behind whoever wins.

Not to overestimate the victory, she won only 2 extra delegates, and the last time I checked, this was not a significant number.

Obama, 08.

this caucus was hamstrung by potential voter fraud and definite voter disenfranchisement. Thousands of voters left after waiting in line for upwards to 3 hours because the NM Dem Party did not have enough polling locations and ballots. In one large town, Rio Grande, they had ONE polling location.

Moreover, in Rio Ariba County, apparently the ballot boxes stayed over night , unlocked, in the home of one of Clinton's biggest supporters, a State Senator. Rio Ariba County is notorious for voter fraud throughout the years – some officials are apparently under indictment right now.

HILLARY CLINTON ALL THE WAY!!! SHE'S NOT OUT OF THE RACE YET FOR ALL YOU REPORTERS THAT SEEM TO THINK THIS IS THE END OF HER CAMPAIGN…HOPEFULLY THE REST OF THE STATES THAT ARE LEFT WILL WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS MAN THAT THE NEWS MEDIA HAS PUT ON SOME KIND OF PEDESTAL…SUCH AS WHY DOESN'T HE WANT TO DEBATE HILLARY????? DOESN'T THAT SEND SOME KIND OF RED FLAG UP…BECAUSE IT DOES ME…I WANT TO WHY DON'T YOU?? WHAT'S HE SCARED OF?????

CNN, this is nothing new! You had already counted New Mexico as a win for Hillary Clinton on February 5th. You had reported that Hillary had won 9 states (which included New Mexico). Please report on something new, like the more recent Obama wins and increasing momentum.

Hillary Clinton ambition of being president will lead to so much lying and cheating. They stole that vote for her just one thing to governor Richardson you are done you finish. Neither you nor your son will ever be governor again in New Mexico. It's so obvious that Hillary Clinton is ready to do anything including inviting governors and senators over for a super bowl just to talk about how to manipulate people and votes. Hillary Clinton and Bill are not trusworthy, not any diffferent than Bush. They don't deserve to be in the White House for another 4 years so they can continue to ship jobs overseas and trash the white house over and over again it is so disgraceful shame on New Mexico and governor Richardson.

I love that CNN relegates this news to a ticker. If Obama won NH, I'm sure you'd see it on the front page "Prolonged count results in OBAMA WIN".

The polls coming out of PA and OH have Clinton currently ahead by a comfortable margin, and while CNN is not the only outlet that appears to be keeping quiet on the matter, it's nonetheless quite unfortunate.

I really just have to wonder what's on the mind of those deciding what's "news" nowaday. Because the more I follow this race, the more I feel that what the people get a chance to hear is so filtered and distorted (or ignored) that we're not actually being informed, but rather manipulated.

And THIS is coming from someone who likes Obama a great deal.

Wow! She needs more of a split than that to make up any ground she's lost since then.

Much to my dismay, I suggest the whole thing be recounted because I am sure many dead and illegal people voted while the legals got denied their chance to vote.

YES! NEXT UP TEXAS AND PENN AND OHIO! PARAYING FOR YOU! DONATING TO YOU! CALLING THE DNC AND DFA TO SEAT THE VOTERS THAT TOOK THE TIME TO VOTE FOR YOU! I LOVE YOU.

Wow I can't believe CNN even reported this, this site is so up Obama's butt. Fair media coverage is out the door apparently. And the funny thing is that all these so-called commentators have their degrees in journalism, not government, political science, or history. What the heck do they know? They had probably never even heard of Barack Obama 4 months ago.

Did everyone get a load of that tool windbag from new mexico who took forever to announce the results? Geez that's enough for anyone to switch parties….and I'm a life long Dem!

Wow, the power of the Clinton.

Boy this is sad day for New Mexico

Way to go New Mexico!

HILLARY '08!!!!

i cannot believe the autheticity of that result. is it because the momentum is now for Obama and they released the result now in a bid to slow him down. this has no significance. Obama will still win Texas, Ohio and the rest of the states to hold contest.

i will not vote for Hillary clinton if she wins democrat nominee

Obama"08

After a week of waiting, this caucus result is immaterial, because they will split the delegates with such a close margin. This result may give the Hillary camp a small "emotional" boost. Now Hillary has 11wins to Obama's 23 wins!

Obama in 08!

correct me if i'm wrong: since clinton won, that means there are no "activists" in new mexico and it has now been elevated to a state worthy of her highness.

As a newly minted New Mexican, I'm so glad Obama faired so well here in New Mexico. This state was expected to be Hillary's and the fact that Obama was able to come within 1800 votes, is a great accomplishment. I would like to see NM to increase our efficiency in counting the votes. =)

Congrats to Senator Clinton. I am highly amazed that you were allowed to win any Caucucs's at all.

Will Hillary remain consistent and not mention this? She has repeatedly downplayed caucuses since she thinks only "activists" attend these things.

Way to go Hillary!!!! Another purple state in your column:)

Well, since she thinks these are all just activists and not a true reflection of the electorate, I guess it won't mean much to her. Obama's supporters appreciate your support New Mexico, even when we come in second! Thank you!

1709 votes?? Wow…cutting close! Can anyone explain to me how they divy up the delegates on a close race like this? What's the precentage? I'll be checking back. Thanks.

Wow! She netted 1 whole delegate! I bet she spins into the winning the Presidency. Oh, but wait…it was a caucus state so does it really count?

And why don't we have blaring headlines stating that she did. oh wait…. she's not obama
and why don't we have a headline that she is stealing Obama's base .. Caucus goers??

oh right…. OBAMA

silly me and here I thought you reported the news.
Hey wait on another news channel they are showing Obama going to a hanna montana concert. now that's news

Thankfully caucuses don't really represent the true electorate.
…

Thought the Clintons said caucuses don't matter?

Let's see her berate New Mexico's caucus goers, and say what they don't represent.

And historians will note it was the last Presidential contest that Senator Clinton ever won…

Nine days late makes NM irrelevant.

Finally some momentum for clinton….that said if this is as good as it gets for her as far as celbrating shes in trouble

As long as it took them. Are they sure that they understood their expectations. What perfect timing (rolling eyes). Who paid someone off? 9 days. This just does not sound right and then ballot boxes were at some of the officials houses.

Big deal, that's old news and the delegate counts get split evenly anyway.

this doesn't count remember? it's a caucus.

It is about time my gosh!! thats another in Hillarys corner

Wow. Close one. Enjoy your delegate.

it's a caucus…remember according to her and slick willie…caucuses don't count

73,000 to 71,000, good run for each candidate. Looks like they will each game the same # of delegates.
