Apparently McCain supporters know nothing about the economy, just as their candidate self professed himself. Do McCain supporters think the $9 Billion the government spends per month during our occupation of Iraq might be putting a little strain on our economy? Might that money be better spent? Hmmmm… that's a hard one for you guys huh… Bush and all his cronies (including McCain) must go, period!!!

Obama, yes we can!!!

All the Clinton supporters on here fail to admit that Hillary couldnt beat McCain. Look at the polls already and also consider her suppossed strengths over Obama. Experience and willingness to go to war. Well last time I looked, McCain beats her in both those categories, plus she brings all of the baggage from Bill and scandals she has had. Republicans really detest her and would never switch to vote for her. While Obama is bringing a coalition of independents and some republicans over-especially with McCain allienating his own parties conservativeness. Obama will draw more non dems and will win in 2008. I cant imagine you would rather have bush 3 vs a union supported democrat. OBAMA 2008

To all of you that say McCain wil lower taxes, WAKE UP.

McCains idea about getting out of a recession/depression is tax cuts for CORPORATIONS. He has said this two days ago.

Yes that is what we need, give EExxon-Mobil more tax cuts.

GET REAL PEOPLE.

It is time Republicans; to join the OBAMA effort at restoring our respect here and abroad. We all are given life by the same Sun……The hearts of the people are crying out for Change!

They should worry.He plans for us to be in Iraq for a 100 years.Whats to
stop him from Invading Iran or who knows.He might have been qualified
to run a country somewhere and some time but not this one and certainly not now.

also…hillary has a tough time admitting she makes mistakes. Sort of reminds me of W…..

Barack has enough wisdom to surround himself with wise minds and inspire us all while doing so….

Have you every noticed how often John McCain blinks when asked questions he's uncomfortable with? In what little body language training I've been exposed to that indicates he's lying. I would give him the benefit of the doubt and say maybe it's an after effect of some torture he suffered, but it just seems to happen so excessively in response to certain questions and not others. check out his interview with George Stephanopoulos from Sunday and see what I mean. Also…Obama's platform is pretty clearly laid out for reading (for those of us who read) on his website. Sometimes people need to be inspired before they're ready to digest details. He's supplying both for those openminded enough to take notice.

Obama still has the best plans and proposals of all of them. I'm glad to see that most people are carefully listening to him and going to his website to actually read his detailed plans, rather than listening to all of the opposition's talking points claiming he is only a good "speaker". America NEEDS someone like Obama now and it feels good to know it's becoming a reality. I'm looking forward to restoring America and finally feel like the citizen's voices actually matter again. Let's stop the divisive bickering and get some work done!

Most worried about Iraq?

Good choice Republicans,

IF YOU WANT TO STAY THERE FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS.

What is so hard about getting out of the middle east, we don't belong there…
…Alexander the Great couldn keep it…

…the Mongol Empire couldn't keep it, the Ottoman Empire couldn't keep it…

…the Brithish Empire couldn't keep it…

… what makes you think that we can…

…please GROW UP PEOPLE.

Marco knows what he's talking about.

I wouldn't let him drive either.

No-one wants grandad to slump at the wheel.

Obama all the way

McCain is just a Bush in another suit. While voting for McCain, be prepared to see the US get into at least 2 wars during his term. Understand that all the problems of the US are interrelated. The war takes away tax dollars, which in turn brings the economy down. when the economy is down, jobs are lost, lower wages paid and hence people cant afford tuition or healthcare. some said Iraq was for oil, what is the cost of a barrel right now!

I know that McCain knows that the mosquito nets recently sent to Africa for free distribution will be sold to African mothers. Blessed are those who give to dictators, for they know what they will receive in turn.

We as Americans take pride that we have the freedom to vote for our leaders. The media is taking to telling us the winner before our votes are all counted. When will you go back to your job of reporting the facts only and leave out your opinions? Frankly, this viewer is growing very weary of your conduct on the airways.

War! war! war! WMD! WMD! bomb! bomb! bomb!……..McCain!

Are you guys not seeing whats going..I am not even an American and i am wacthing this politics so closely,

Guess what there's only 1 candidate who is talking about peace..OBAMA. yes talks brings peace and not war. Saddam hussein is gone, has the war ended..noooooooooooope.

Mccain for president this guy can hardly stand on his feets in 2years and has pledged to stay in Iraq for 1000 years, what will be the outcome, more Bin Ladens and more WTC's going down, have you american' s had not enough of Bush and Republicans..

I rather vote for change than the early bird special at your local dinner - how many view love your granddad but I do not want him driving my car - he is old - slow to react but I will listen to his advice - I do not want him running the country. Is time to look ahead - technology is the future and John can tell the difference between a blackberry from a blueberry.

Sorry Grandad I do not want you driving my car.

The fact of the matter is that our country has been damaged so much during these past 7 years that we desperately need experience over Obama's message of change. Hillary is the most qualified candidate to deal with the war in Iraq, the deficit, and to improve our standings in the world. Obama's speaks about so many nice, wonderful things. What's saying he's going to be able to pull it off with our nation in the state that its in now? Hillary will know how to get things done in Washington. She's a tough fighter.

Hillary '08

Last time I checked, we are a democracy. As long as the majority of the country votes for Obama, it's fine. Anyway, "Gavin" I think you are probably one of those Cheney-loving "Republicans."

also, i just realized what the article at the top is about, and am now wondering why i posted a comment like this on an article like that, or for that matter any of us.

I only see a few posts here related to McCain and his view on the war in Iraq

seriously, what's up with that?

John McCain, is a Teddy Roosevelt . He talkes softly and carries a Big stick. Johns wife basically has a beautiful heart. I think she was a big part of starting Doctors without borders. All the Veteran's of all wars will get what they need with McCain as President.

I am just amazed at the responses here when this man, Barack Obama is quite possibly our only hope in getting this country back on track from what will go down in history as the worst Presidency of modern times. Hillary is through…get over it folks

Dee,

good riddance to you both? It's not like voting for someone else makes a person disappear…

WHile i like the high level of interest in the 2008 primaries, I am repulsed by the constant mudsling and promises to vote for the other party if their candidate isn't elected. It's as if we are electing two presidents rather than one.

Besides, we shouldn't be focusing on the other candidates' faults and insulting them. This forum should be for discussing WHY we like our favored candidates, not why we hate the rest of them. You know… like a POLITICAL DEBATE?!?!?!

To justify my point, I will now say why i LIKE my candidate, and not include any mudsling at other ones.

I like Barack Obama because he sems like an able leader. He is (omg) intellectual, charismatic (makes for good diplomacy), and I don't believe that inexperience means anything, because he can always get experienced advisers and cabinet members

Obama will never be my President. If he gets the nomination I will not only vote for McCain but get actively involved in getting him elected. I live in Miami so as a Democrat my vote didn't count anyway. Obama is the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen,so is his wife by the way. He may become the nominee but he won't beat McCain. If by some slight chance he does make it to the White House all those promise filled words…he will be choking on them. The reason the white guys are voting for Obama is because they will not vote for a woman. They may think differently when the General Election rolls around. All this polarization from the Clinton- Obama campaigns will really divide the party. What coalitions has he cemented? I just saw a big time Senator from Texas going on and on about Obama and when the commentator asked him to name any legislation that Obama has accomplished. HE COULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION on National television. WOW! That spoke volumes to me. His supporters aren't even aware of his work as a Senator. This is like a Superbowl

Where are the educated women, blacks, and men in America? Everyone knows that the political pundits want Obama to run against McCain. The reason being is that they don't want change in Washington. They want McCain and his 100 year war. Let's vote for real change a Female Democrat for President.

McCain will be a train wreck in foreign policy. He's promising to stick to the policies of a man who has made America more hated than any other time in its history. But some people are so ignorant they'd rather vote for a grumpy old hawk than someone who wants to put these ridiculous hate filled policies behind us.

I am a registered Democrat and I will not vote for Obama. If it cant be Hillary than I stay home. Shame on CNN Ill never watch your station again. I love you Lou Dobbs.

McCain is a scary little creep.

He also has no ideas and nothing to say.

It's remarkable that he thinks he should just be president because he was a POW. He milks it like Rudy milked 911. But you need a vision. Americans like a real future-looking vision.

No angry old creep like McCain can win. What a joke!

The kids are voting - great! and they don't need a bitter old man for president who wants to promote more American imperialism - don't we already have more than enough bases in the mid-east. Obama can list the problems but where are his answers??? Guess I'll just have to vote -NONE-OF-THE-ABOVE yet again come November.

hopefully this guy doesn't become our president or else we will be at war for another 4 years. Dumb.

All you democrats can do is whine and that is why you can't win elections and bring about changes. I love watcing you whiners talk about jumping ship if your person doesn't get elected.

Democrats, the party of complainers and babies…..

In November, all of Obama's young supporters will be onto the next big thing (AMerican Idol, new episodes of Gray's Anatomy, Britney Spears next marriage), and McCain will easily win. It is going to be Kerry fiasco all over.

It pains me to say it, but if Obama gets nominated, I will support McCain, and I am not the only one. Most of the democratic base that voted for Clinton will switch as experience is important to them and they are deadly affraid of what Obama might do in his excessive pride and self-love. It is truly horryfying thought to think he might be running our country. It's worse than Bush. Media are pushing Obama because they will love watching McCain devour him. We'll have four more years of Republican rule. I hope Hillary decides to run in four years. That is the only hope. If Obama gets elected to be the president, we'll have four years of Obama mess plus the next 8 years of Republicans. I don't think this country can survive another 12 years of idiocracy. This is the end of America. I am heartbroken.

Worried about Iraq:
I’m worried about a man (McCain) who has not ever worked in the real world:
This man has been on the government payroll since he got out of college. Further, McCain has been a Senator for more than 20 years. Where was he when policy to fix this nation was being developed? This man has had plenty of time to effect change and he could not convince 99 other Senator to follow his lead!
What make you think he can convince 435 Congressmen and 100 Senator to follow him now? McCain need to get a real life and job.

H.R.C. is the short end of the stick. She does the same thing McCain does feeds into people fears. She should go buy a puppy and be happy.

McCain will lose whether it's Hillary or Obama running against him. People are fed up with Republicans and war mongers.

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes, and I didn't come here to gloat either. Bottom line, Hillary Supporters, you guys are just as Liberal or Progressive as the Obama Supporters. Looking at the big picture, McCain doesn't stand for Democratic ideals even though I still respect the man. If you take to heart Hillary possibly losing the nomination, and vote for McCain out of spite, you do nothing but speed up your own defeat and the defeat of Democratic platform. Take some time and ask yourself what is more important, voting for 4 more years of GOP rule and failed policies or drastic improvement of our own country.

Peace

If Obama is the nominee for the Democrats, I will vote McCain. Obama's campaign is nothing more than a rehash of that "I'd like to buy the world a coke" TV commercial from the '70's updated with a little " vote for me because I'm cool" ala American Idol. As the man said, "There is no "there", there".

Tonight, I was watching Hillary Clinton address a group of voters and was quite interested….

THEN, WITHOUT ANY EXCUSES, NO REASON, NO EXPLANATION THAT I HEARD: the network summarily, autocratically and unilaterally cut off Hillary and went to Obama, and with no choice, I could not hear Hillary, and I didn't want to listen to the only choice you gave us.

Not that I don't recognize that you have the right to PROMOTE whatever candidate you wish on your network….I feel it was impossibly rude to preempt her speech after you started her program..

Even if you ignore just cutting off a lady, even if you ignore she IS his senior in experience and education and a former first Lady….it was totally without manners. Rude. Without consideration.

Shame on you, CNN. I have depended on you for so long to get both sides of stories, ALL the news, FULL coverage. Well tonight, I feel slighted.

As a woman, as a voter, as a listener and as the first rule we teach in getting along with one another….wait your turn and share…you don't just start in the middle and push the others off the air!!

McCains' 100 more years in Iraq surely would give one concern because it is largely impacting our economy. Vote Obama.

Obama are you kidding me! I am a black female and OBama is a joke. He is so much all talk and he has the African American are brain washed by this man and his skin. I am so scared of him taking over our country. He my sit up there looking good but then what. and where is the change??? he doesnt like gay people where is the change. How about you change your views Obama and maybe we will change ours. Oh My if Obama get in then McCain has my vote. Someone wake up! or take my words oh wait maybe Obama will use my words to FAKE

If Obama happens to become the democratic party candidate in the general election, I will defect from my 60 years as a faithful member and support Senator John McCain. So long ago, I learned to tell the difference between empty and lofty, evangelical, sound-goof rhetoric, and those who truly have the country's interest at heart.

Unfortunately, here in Houston, so many folks are too easily and emotionally moved and inspired by charismatic people, not unlike Professor Harold Hill, con man of the "Music Man" play. The sad thing about this is that old Piper has to be paid, and in this instance of electing a President, we the people are the one's whose pocket-book will be hit. And then it will be too late.

My biggest hope is that we all use our good sense of purpose and elect the best President we can find. That person, this time, seems to be Senator McCain.

I am extremely disappointed by the blantant lack of balance provided by CNN, Looking at your website every other word is Barack Obama. A week ago no one in the news was willing to count out the Clintons. Now despite the fact that there has been no change since in the direction of the primaries and with several large states still to come you are implying that this race is over for Clinton. Sadly I have found Fox News to be more fair and balanced in their coverage of the democratic nomination than CNN.

Change….Change!!!

I am for Hillary I think the media has been all for Obama they have really not said any good things and because of that if I can vote for Hillary I will but if not I will vote for McCain. Obama has had a free ride. how can you vote for some one that only gived speechs. Is Obama a cult like some of the people are saying? I am proud of my country always have been

Gavin. Newsflash! Who cares who you vote for! Obama is the next President whether you like it or not!

Go Obama 08!

Where is he going to get all the money for his projects?

Talk is easy.

I am a Canadian citizen and yet watch and listen attentively at all the developements and more importantly, "all the promises" that are being handed out to the American citizens…………"if you vote for me"!

In all honesty, one has to wonder how in the …."bleep, bleep" are these politicians EVER going to deliver on all these promises.

Politics in the U.S. is no different then that of Canadian politics here in my country and when the dust has settled down and a victor has emerged, the promises of that victor (whether it be Clinton or Obama) will all have been forgotten and go undelivered as they have always been as attested from past elections.

One thing about elections whether in Canada or in the U.S.! It sure warms the heart and lifts up our hopes listening to all their rhetoric………….EVEN IF IT IS JUST BUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

By the way…..is anyone vedeo taping all these promises so that when the victor is declared, all these promises can be asked of as to where they all went later on when they have cozingly settled in the White House in Washington?

Inspite of all the rhetoric and empty, broken and undelivered promises to the citizens, I still chose to live in no other place but in Canada….right next door to my good neighbour………….OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS.

ONLY IN AMERICA……….GOD BLESS AMERICA AND CANADA

In Senator McCain I see a great hero who struggles to maintain his composure. I see a Candidate who has shown time and again how he loses his presence of mind and temper over little things that are out of his control. I see a Candidate who could lead us to premature preemptive action when delicate diplomacy is required. I see a Candidate who will make a tense situation worse. I see a Candidate who needs a staff to manage him. How can we have a President who struggles to handle the little things and think he will somehow be different facing Vladmir Putin or Ahmadenajad?

McCain voters most worried about Iraq………."That why McCain is UN-ELECTABLE".

Hillary 08: Most of America doesn't agree with you! Vote for McCain if you want-but then you have to live with yourself everdyay, not us!!!

IF; HILLARY LOSES THIS ELECTION AGAINST MR. LACK OF EXPERIENCE. HE WILL BE AN EASY PREY FOR JOHN MCCAIN. THEY KNOW IT!

Thisis about McCain and who supports him, not about Osama and that Hillary woman. It won't matter which one of these losers you
select, they will go down in November because Republicans and Conservative Democrats will not vote for them.

Wow the Hillary supporters show their true colors! Rather than vote for Obama they will vote for the person most like BUSH! Bush/Clinton monarchy will be over!

Let Freedom ring!

Go McCain.
You are solid on foreign policy and if you keep jobs here,
and make the tax cuts permanent I will be happy!
Just please don't let any more good jobs leave this country.
There are many college educated people impacted by all of this as well. Please do something to encourage professional growth here.
India and others are taking far too much of it. Please bring jobs
back home and keep the terrorists out.
If you can do that you will absolutely have my vote.
As fara as obama i just really don't know what to make of him yet.
I feel Hillary is more experienced by far but i don't like her sudden
pullout of the war–i think it should be more gradual–and how
in the world is she going to finance health care? Those are my
concerns with her.

Wow, Nathan is just throwing mud at everyone that votes Obama tonight. I appreciate the open forum here, but I have to agree with others on here that some people are really throwing some negative comments out there towards people tonight.

As for some comments on here about the 'naive' and the 'stupid' directing this race, on the heals of another Obama win, it's important to remember that since the first caucus polls there has been a dominant trend showing that those individuals with college educations, or greater, have voted for Obama over Clinton.

Shame on you CNN! What happened to impartial reporting by the news media? CNN is supposed to be a non-partisan provider of unbiased coverage of the news but you have clearly come down on the side of Barak Obama by cutting away in the middle of Hilary Clinton's speech to cover Barak Obama.
What happened to equal air time?

All of the best leaders are inspiring speakers. They don't read off teleprompters like McCain. His campaign and soon Barack's cabinet will be leaders who will make things happen. McCain barely gets his own party's vote. Huckabee is the true conservative. He's laying his ground for 2012. Get over your own prejudices! It's 2008 for God's sake! Don't hold yourself down by hating on others.

The message is clear in the preceding comments. If you're a bitter, negative, small minded and under-educate individual you spew your vitrtiol at Obama. HOW would you know that Barack is phony or that he's only a speech maker. Look at his record, look at his writings. The petty, name calling reveals your lack of knowledge. He had the forsight to oppose the war. HE ad the foresight to see that the nation needed a leader that was willing to work with people from both sides of the aisle. He is not afraid of confronting our enemies at the table rather then sending young men and women to do our dirty work after the failures of small minded poll watching professional politicians. IF YOU READ FOR YOURSELF, rather than letting thirty seconds of Lou Dobbs, Rush Limbaugh or Tim Russert make up your mind for you you would know that Obama is the real deal.

DARN IT He's going to end up in the white house. I'm disgusted right now. The war mongering continues. Obama is going to get EATEN ALIVE and if he does somehow get into the white house we will all be screwed for his lack of plans, because he won't be able to borrow Hillaries!

amazing how people's prejudices come out….support someone who wants a one-hundred year iraq war…. smart.

Thomas are you kidding? I'm pretty sure Obama doesn't control over who CNN is going to give airtime. CNN does.

Do people really think that the man who said we will be in Iraq for 100 yrs will know how to get us out of Iraq?

GOD BLESS NcCAIN !!!!

Obama all the way

Gavin: Could not have said it better !!

I will NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!! In Pennsylvania WE believe in results and not TALK!!! It is pathetic that people are SNOWED by him.
America's Back? Where did we go?
I will vote for McCain before him!

Get the election to PA so we can get it straight! and get it over with. And get the CHANGE PUPPET talk off the airwaves before he steals more ideas from Clinton and McCain!

We can only hope the superdelagates will do what they are supposed to do: moderate and democractic primary that is being taken over by independents, the naive and the stupid.

What is there so much press about how bad that would be. I have a degree in political science, and the more you study democracy, the more you realize what a sham it is.

Americal Idol is democratic, and this campaign is looking just as bad.

PLEASE SAVE US, OH MIGHTY SUPERDELEGATES!

I'm still voting Huckabee on March 4th, Texas and in November. McCain - you gotta be kidding?

Mr. McCain, Congrats and my God bless you and your lovely wife and family. America needs a Change in direction……..

Sure are a lot of rotten peaches being eaten tonight.

Senator Obama will win with or without your support, and he will change the course of this country with or without your efforts, and I for one will proudly fly my "Yes We Did" bumper sticker while the rest of you go back to your couches and video games.

JF and Gavin,

Please go ahead and vote for McCain. The way I see it, good riddance to you both.

McCain wins the November general election if Barack is the Democratic nominee. Congrats to McCain!

John Mc Cain you have my vote in Nov….. My friends and family will vote for safety sorry obama you don't have what it takes!!!!!!1

I just don't know what to make of this primary but, I will tell you this. I am a registered democrat, but if Obama gets the nomination I will vote for McCain. The reason being; Obama is not safe. He has state more or less that he will become friends with terrorist countries. That's incredible!

He also keeps screaming "change" but never talks about his programs.

Lastly, I am very disappointed with the media. The rule of equal treatment has gone out the window. The media is cow-towing to Obama. Case in point; tonight. You stop telecasting Clinton to telecast Obama. And, he bantered on, and,on,\and,on. This is lousy treatment of other candidates on your part, and special treatment for him.

McCain appreciates peace more than most people.
What do you think he was thinking most of the time when he was a POW?
Torture vs. Humanity?
Fire reminds us of water.
War reminds us of peace.

If you don't want to vote Obama you can stay at home. What has Obama done to you?
It is a politice it not a fight either you like him or Hillary. Don't swear that you never vote Obama.

CNN is biased to Obama. Look at their "Best political team." Im curious to know as th why there are so many white people that support Obama, but where are the blacks that support Clinton? And yes, I'm refering to the "best" political team on TV. Yeah, race isnt an issue… Do you think we are dumb?

Thomas (above comment) is 100% correct. If you think that Republicans are afraid of Obama you are dead wrong. They WANT Obama to run against this fall. Life long Democrat and if I can't have Hillary I will vote for McCain.

THESE ARE PURELY EXIT POLLS….

THE REALITY IS THAT I WILL *****NEVER****** VOTE FOR barack obama….

NEVER

PUT THAT IN YOUR POLL.

HE IS A FRAUD - PHONY

John McCain is my new choice for President. Since the Obama lovers took Hillary away from me, I have no choice but to vote for Crazy McCain and believe me…I WILL. You can all have your Obama and Michelle party but hoping that McCain wins now since Hillary got the short end of the stick.

I'm more worried about the mexican border, keeping out any further illegal aliens and getting rid of the 12-20 million who have illegally infiltrated into the states so far. The ones here already are ruining our economy and taking us for billions more than what they're producing. If we need to do another San Jacinto, so be it!

I can not believe of all the primaries I have watched, that Obama would start to speak soon as Hillary started to speak in Ohio. He new that since the projection was for him in Wisonsin he would get the spotlight. How does Hillary have a chance if she never gets the airtime that Obama gets. I think he is a snake. I am a life long democrat. I can tell you all this. If he gets the nomination It will be McCain 08 for me. And Believe me I am not the only one. Do not forget the record breaking primaries of 1988 for democrats, And look who won the national election.

Mccain, please give peace a chance ! Enough of the "war…war…war…war "

Maccain you are a fear monger, and America are not ready for someone who will deter them from their happiness.
You son is back from Iraq and other people sons and daughter are still in Iraq.

Obama will beat you hands down come November.
God Bless you all that have believed in Obama.

Well since McCain is has been blunt in his approval of this expansionistic war of choice to control Iraq's oil, even if it means permanent bases there for 100-1000 years, voters SHOULD be worried about having such a hot head in the White House. Sure he served in Vietnam, endured being a POW, and has a cool mom…but none of those things qualify him to be President. We need a fully COMPETENT president to at least to BEGIN to undo the travesties unleashed against America by the current moody and unqualified president.

Check it out…McCain is already starting his attack on Mr. Lack of experience. I hope all of you that voted for Obama are happy. You did this and in the end…I hope Clinton supporters stay home and let McCain get in. The thought of Obama in charge is scary and Michelle Obama…no comment on that one!!

I love CNN…

Carrying Obama's speech live.

Carrying Huckabee's speech.

Ignoring Clinton entirely.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…………..Hilary
You should be ashame of yourself.

GO OBAMA GO……………………………..

BOOOOOOOOOOOO Hilary. What are going to pull next? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAME OF YOURSELF.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
