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!

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)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

" 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!

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!

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?

"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.

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.
