CNN

The Texas polls now show an even race where just a couple of weeks ago it was Clinton up by double digits. We have just began early voting. The movement for Obama is growing fast and after this vote on March 4th Clinton should realize SHE CAN'T LAST.

Bill

Katie, let me answer the question you posed "If Clinton has so much experience, why did she not plan properly for her campaign past super Tuesday?"

Because she did not realize that people like you can be so stupid and goes blah blah and blah for someone who just says blah blah blah!

"Cat- fight tactics or smugness" aren't what we are interested in. We want Change!
GO OBAMA !

I think it's Clinton's dividing the Dems not Obama. she should quit vast majority of voters are against her and her devisive nature is going to hurt democrat party for years. Mr. Clinton is so eager to go to the white house so he can have some more interns

I see other comments in – Why not mine? Will not even take? What gives.

Unfortunately, the Hillary camp just doesn't get it. America is tired on the politics of divisiveness and fear that has dominated American politics over the last 7 years, but yet are very hesitant about going back to the 1990s. Yes the economy was great, but how much of that is truely attributed to Bill Clinton policies, how much is attributed to the Republican Congress, or both? I have heard numbers that range from 10% to 30% about the impact of Bill Clinton policies on economic growth. The other major thing we remember about the presidential politics of 1990s were the scandals and a president that was the only other president in American history to be impeached.

A lot of New Hampshire voters are Changing their position from Clinton to Obama.

All I can say to those of you who support Obama is "the lights are on but NOBODY is home". You are all under the influence of media hype and haven't done your research. Do you think the Universal Health Care is an easy item to implement? It takes years of planning and studing and trying....which Hillary has done. She knows the ropes and with the power of being president, she can accomplish. She has built her foundation of experience and leadership needed to step into the White House and get things done. Read her Economic proposal of 2007. What has Obama done???NOTHING!

I cannot believe the media is so unfair to Hillary and most of all unfair to us who will suffer the consequences of CNN, MSNBC irresponsible actions. Like many of my fellow democrats, I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA. I'd rather see a republican with experience than a hot air balloon Obama in office.

Shame on CNN, MSNBC and FOX for trying to boost their ratings at the expense of the USA and Hillary's Presidential race. MOST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS YOU ARE NOT!!!!

Lets make sure we get a cleaned out Congress and Obama can get more done in two years than we got done in the last twenty.

The real battle begins, the more I look into this campaign, the more I realize who is the better candidate, Obama has nothing to offer but empty promises. He is self centered and will not admit his fault, he obviously copied someone else's speech, he could have just said, I did and it was a mistake, but he continues attacking HILLARY with nonesense remarks.

Obama's cards have been played up and it is now HILLARY's turn! We believe in her policies and platform as a candidate. The young voters will see this and they will realize that their Idol has nothing to offer, even his supporters does not know what he had accomplished. It will be a big mistake to elect Obama, we will loose on the November election. We need a stronger candidate-- GO HILLARY!!!!

Obama is chipping away at Hillary's base while Hillary is "nit picking" away at Obama, not very smart of Hillary. Hillary doesn't understand that Obama is not looking for her approval rating because he knows it is negative. Obama gets positive approval ratings from the voters and that's all that matters. Go Obama.

I think a lot of commenters on this site and elsewhere need to be more mature. Obama is being blamed for dividing the Democrats? Why? He is currently winning the race for the nomination. Wouldn't that make Hillary the divider? People that support Hillary and Obama have said they will not vote for the other, but would go Republican if the other wins. Really? People are really that willing to throw away their principles and vote for a candidate that doesn't align with their view on the issues because their candidate doesn't get nominated? I don't believe it. I think it is all a lot of posturing. Finally, supporters of the candidates need to quit taking a holier than thou attitude and need to stop belitting each other. Nobody here has the infinite wisdom to decree their support is superior and that their candidate is superior. Lets have an honest discussion about honest issues.

Obama rocket has officially left the stratosphere!!!!!! Let's support our great leader these next 8 years and beyond. I am proud to be an AMERICAN.

Hillary Clinton was repeatedly stating "We Will...." last night. As a voter in PA, I made an interesting observation. The Pittsburgh Pirates had the "We Will" slogan for the '05-'07 seasons. During those seasons, the Pirates won only about 41% of their games and, subsequently, lost about 59%. In this time the Pirates suffered multiple losing streaks of 10 games.

Ironically, Clinton received 41% of the democratic vote to Obama's 58%. This gave Clinton a losing streak of 10 jurisdictions. They say those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. It now appears that Senator Clinton has become the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Democratic Party.

This is exactly what's bothering her. She's arrogant. She felt she had this nomination in the bag. And here comes this kid, and he's gaining momentum, and went right past her, so much that her superdelegates are starting to go the other way.

But she doesn't know what to do. The momentum keeps going, and what she's doing isn't stopping it. She needs to change. He doesn't, as whatever he's doing is working.

It is truly amazing how people can be taken in by rheoteric and glib talk. Mr. Obama talks for one hour with no substance. He talks about change without ever spelling out what change he is going to make. If Mr. Obama is elected there will be change: change for the worse! If Mr. Obama turns out to be a presidential nominee the alternate McCaine is no better. I will write in Mrs Clinton as my candidate.

If Clinton has so much experience, why did she not plan properly for her campaign past super Tuesday? Anybody knows , you have to have a plan A and a plan B at the very least! And one who claims to have experience knows that all too well. People, don't get suckered into the lies. Just because I watch tennis doesn't mean I am US Open material.

Marty, I know that Barack Obama stays awake nights worrying about what you think of him or whether or not you will vote for him!!! You're funny!!

DOWN GOES CLINTON! DOWN GOES CLINTON!!

I can't wait for tomorrow's debate. I'm sure Hillary is going to start sounding like something that rhymes with "rich". Obama is going to keep his composure, and look better by comparison. He doesn't have to win the debate. All he has to do is show up, and not implode.
If Hillary loses Texas, or even if she wins with a small margin, then she is in something that rhymes with "deep voodoo".

Is the Democratic Party finally waking up? Are we no longer falling for the trite Clintonesque speeches, the lies, the fence-sitting political correctness, the unbridled arrogance, the lack of character, etc...?

If we want, this primary can represent a sea-change for the better in American politics.

Please, please, please: NO MORE CLINTONS; NO MORE BUSHES!

While I initially was for Hillary Clinton, I am now, and have been for some time, for Barack Obama. He is a brilliant intellectual. He is such an improvement over what we have had sitting within the White House for the past eight years. There is absolutely NO comparison! Obama is sweeping the country with his multiple victories, which is very pleasing to see!

Obama is chipping away at Clinton's base because of news organizations like CNN and Fox News who have done everything they can to piss on Hillary Clinton and elevate Obama to hero status. These male-owned and dominated "news" organizations, have tremondous influence on the way people respond. American's need to listen and look with critical eyes and ears. We've been railroaded. Let's hope Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania can tilt the scales back to an even playing field.

Why does years as first lady in Arkansas and Washington count ?

Seems like Obama has more years in ELECTED office.

The Clintons have been inPolitics for + years and can't even handle this new comer Kid............ I dare to say that if you can't run your camp right then YOU HAVE NO BUSSINESS BEING CIC

Thank you DNC, really smart, You have divided the party. You better think of something really quick. I will NEVER vote for Obama. I will vote for a Republican for the first time and be saddened that I had to go against all my beliefs. But no matter what ,I will always BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, How about Michelle?

Ohama is being used by many conservatives organization such as CITIZEN UNITED who has been calling homes to BAD MOUTH about the Clinton. Any negative ads or negative documentary of the Clinton is to ensure that the democratic party WILL NOT TAKE the WHITE HOUSE. Don't you guys get it.! The way all of you bicker and slander Clinton or Obama is only going to WORK TO THE REPUBLICAN benefits. Karl Rove and many Republicans support organizations are BEHIND ALL THIS.

we did it again,lol independance just need to keep going out there and vote for Obama… get hillbill out of the race and we will get the White House back.. we need BUSHS tax cuts and we dont need health insurance for all let them get a job and get it like the rest of us… GO MC Caine GO

HRC biggest problem is she and Bill don't realize that they are part of the old guard. The american people want change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do not believe that John Helton is fair to Sen. Barack Obama. If you notice in his story, "Analysis: Obama Continues to Chip Away at Clinton's Base", Mr Helton writes, "If the demographic trends continue, it doesn't look good in Texas." I then ask, doesn't look good for who? I think it looks very good for Obama supporters and Texas. It seems that it is still a climb for Obama when reporters or writers put a negative spin on things.

If all the American people would just listen to the speeches of Mr. Obama as he so eloquently delivers them, Mr. Obama just does'nt speak hope and change, it's in his heart, he is carrying the message that no other candidate could ever carry. He's just the vessel that this message is being channeled through and no one can take that from him, that's why we see and hear the American people rallying behind him, simply because they see the VISION. The message Mr. Obama is carrying is UNITY and that's the only way the American people and the folks in Washington ever going to see CHANGE and HOPE, to bring America back to it's orignal state of which we were founded on, called "The United States of America. I believe this same message is coming to our churches and I pray that the pastors and leaders, would take heed to.

Anyone that votes for "100 year" McCain must be as old and of a feeble mind as he is...I will give it to him, he deserves honor for his service to the country, but he shouldn't be President simply because of veteran status! I know many veterans that deserve honor, but I wouldn't simply vote for them because they are vets.

Hillay is a tough, smart woman and she'd probably make a good president. But I'd rather see her as Senate Majority Leader than in the Oval Office. She'd be far more tough and effective than Harry Reid who is a complete wimp in my opinion. The stars are aligning for Barack Obama. If he wins the nomination, let's rally behind him and get him elected. God forbid another Republican in the White House! Our country, children, and grandchildren cannnot afford it.

amelia,

People saying they will vote for McCain over Obama is not new. In fact, Obama supporters said the same thing regarding Hillary. Also, so did Indeps. See, people wanted someone with less baggage and they see that person as Hillary. The difference is he will be able to make up his loss of support, we all know she will NOT. The woman has no cross over appeal and in fact is hated by many. So, does it mean anything that some Dems. are willing to shot their own self in the a– if they can't get the princess, No. It just shows their lack of intelligence.

Our party is uniting and rallying around our candidate. Obama will be our nominee and will be in the white house next year.

To those who are ardent Hillary supporters and say, "If he wins, I'm voting McCain in the fall," I ask...why? You would prefer someone who continues the same policies as GW Bush over someone who ran against your favorite candidate in the primaries? I have been saying all along that I would support H Clinton if she got the nomination, although I support Obama. Please, don't divide our party because you're being "sore losers" in the primaries.

I wish the many women who unflinchingly support Clinton and spew nasty comments on a daily basis would not be so narrow minded. I understand that it is important for many women–mostly older women–to have a woman president. But, please understand that those of us who support Senator Obama don't care that Hillary's a woman. That may be an important factor to you, but it isn't to everyone else.

Also, many of us are prepared to support her should she win the nomination. Please return the courtesy and stop being so petty. Your comments are counter-productive and you should show respect for the choices of fellow party members.

Experienced against a so called rookie. Let's make a comparison based on the campaign management. Which of them seemed to be more effective? Love them both but this did it for me...

thank you reality check!!!!

and remember she still saying those do not count, only the big states.......

the people have spoken and will continue to vote, and not only numbers are showing we are all ready for change, people from the Republican party and independent are coming to join for change,. No matter what it is said or done now, we want change in Washington, no more Clinton Bush Dynasty,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yes to Democracy

chip away?

he's sledgehammering it away from her.

Change is the word of the day these days.
But change what? Change why? Change how? Change for the sake of change is meaningless and even destructive. The communists made change for change sake a political philosophy and see where that got them. Change on its own is an empty word and that's just why politicians use it: They want you to fill this empty vessel of a word with whatever you have in mind.
I'd rather vote for a candidate who explains the issues and where they stand on them than vote for change.

The major problem is that Republicans are voting for Obama because they simply detest Hillary. They also have no decent Republican to support.

Obama has been careful to be sure his speeches remain vague; this allows him the opportunity to shake the filthy hands of the Republicans in office.

Careful America — he always points to being non-partisan & working with the politicians in Washington. This is not easy since a true Democrat has completely opposing views than that of the GOP!

Wake up America and quit falling for the smooth talk!

HILLARY 2008!

wow!!!!!!! GREAT WIN!!!!!!!

Mr. Obama does not have the experience to be President, and I think he also showed his true colors of being divisive. Mr. Obama showed last night by starting his victory speech while Mrs. Clinton was still speaking. Politeness would have typically called for him to wait for her to finish. Everyone says how he'll bring the country together and that he's above being negative, but by not allowing her to finish her speech, wasn't he petty and hypocritical, and doesn't it call into question the style vs. substance question for him? He says he will bring in a new mind set, but he showed last night that he's just as petty as any other politician.

If you peolpe want another republican president just keep on voting for
Obama, and you will get one.

Maria: Obama had 8 years in the Illinois state legislature. 2 in the US Senate..... he is NOT an apprentice. He has more 'political' experience. Don't believe the 35 year chant..... brainwashing at it's finest.

The republicans won't see a president in the white house for at least 4 more years.... The republican president we have now made sure of that...

Going to an Obama rally or speech soon? Let me save you some time. "change, change, change" Blah, blah, blah.

If Republicans showing up to vote Obama are part of Hillary's base, then I guess he is chipping away at them. Prediction, McCaine will make huge inroads into Obama's new-found base, Republicans, in the fall. By the way, they are truly laughing all the way to the polls abd home.
Another good one,, watching an Obama supporter and state legislator from the good state of Texas not be able to name one legislative accomplishment from Obama, priceless!!!

Soon to be former Florida Democrat. Also, soon to be active in convincing other Florida Dems to switch parties or go Independent. This election is the biggeste media creation, rivaling Brittany Spears. We deserve what we will get.

Congratulations to Sen. Obama he has run an outstanding campaign, but will he be able to deliver if he gets elected President.
He sure has high HOPES for the first 4 years. If he pulls it off he should be compared to Harry Houdini vs. JFK.

Quit calling Clinton supporters, uneducated. bottom of the barrel citizens..

Mary, people don't just vote for someone they hate for kicks and giggles. (unless they're republican) Are you kidding me?? You guys have real serious issues.

Hillary's campaign is over.

She should do what is best for the nation and concede to Obama now before more damage is done to the democratic base.

The Democrats are more and more losing a leg to stand on. They also do not have the integrity to stand up for what this nation really needs.. McCain 08!

He has 14 of Bill Clinton's former staff to thank for his strategies.

And a bunch of youngsters calling phoning people in Wisconsin with lies about Bill's office in Harlem designed to steal votes from him. Pathetic really.

You know....I am getting tired of you biased CNN People. I have written letter after letter and they never seem to get printed. Could that be because you only print the good ones about Obama? I notice the majority of the letters are good ones about him. What a shame that the Media are such rotten people. Dare you to print this!!!!!!!

Obama will do this country good. I am glad to see he can form a coalition of AMERICANS of all races and backgrounds.....These are the people who will lead the country forward and even those stuck in some backwoods antebellum mindset where they would not vote for Obama even if it positively impacted their own lives. If we can have the president we have had the last 8 years, I do not see how he could do any worse......that is not even possible I think........go Obama...pull this divided country together so we can live what the constitution says......

I watched your so-called "coverage" of her speech, all 5 minutes of it, before you switched to an hour of Obama. How the heck do you know what she said? WE sure don't. And please don't introduce Begala as a "Clinton supporter". He is NOT; he's a paid hack like all the rest of your so called team, with the EXCEPTION of John King. HE is the only professional.
YOU did this to Edwards, Biden and Dodd, and now you are doing this to Clinton. Millions of people watch the TV to get an idea of what the candidate has to say. WHERE do they get their true picture if you don't show it?
I did not need to see all of his speech. What you did is so clearly biased and unfair, just as your coverage was in 2000, and 2004.
Well, you gave us BUSH, twice, and now I guess we get Obama.
I wanted to hear what Hillary had to say, but instead I got more of the SAME, and not ALL of us think he is the Messiah, you know. This is one Democrat who will vote GOP in the fall if Obama is the Dem, because I am tired of Presidents in training pants, and I don't trust Obama. It’s not his faith, or his color, far from it, it's HIM. Stay tuned for REZKO, and you will see.
In the meantime, keep up the good work by slanting your coverage, framing every story about how she is loosing, and making sure to give LOTS of coverage to the owners of far left Blogs, and in no time at all you will have your Obama, and then you can move on to Bashing McCain and then on to tearing up Obama after he takes office.

As this drags on, people are getting to know these candidates and perhaps seeing more in Obama and simply seeing through Clinton. Clinton needed a quick win and she didn't get it. As the primaries drag on, she's looking more and more like the kind of politician we're all tired of: negative ads, pointless attacks, etc.

Win or lose, Senator Clinton has my vote. I am 43 years old and have been interested in politics since I was 9 years old.

No way would Mr Obama sway me. I recognize a fast talking joker when I see one. Momentum-give me a break, this isn't football!

People open your eyes and tap into your common sense. Mr Obama cannot win the election. The Republicans have this won, and we are looking at 4 years of Republican rule. They are just laughing at the Democrats for being swayed to vote for the wrong person. We have become the butt of their jokes.

Senator Clinton would stand a much better chance because she is well known.

She knows Washington and what to expect.

If he wins, I'm voting Republican.

I am proud of the people of Wisconsin and Hawaii.

The negative campaigning and the smear campaign from the Clintons had no success ! (Although Hillary claims that it had 'a positive effect')

The American People are smarter than you think, Hillary!

Usually all candidates jump into the mud – but the Obama movement stays clean and presidential !

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER!

I am so tired of hearing Mrs Clinton speaking and saying that you need more than words–you need solutions, yet she fails to give any. She says she's qualified to lead day 1? Why is that...did she have that big a role in her husband's administration. If so, then i guess we can expect that Mr Clinton will have a big role in hers should we be so unfortunate that she actually wins. It would seem then that they're just skirting the law that says he cannot have more than 2 terms in office. A B C......anybody but Clinton.

McCain and the Republicans have as much a chance of winning this years election as we have of seeing Hugo Chavez riding past Times Square on the back of a hippopotamus.
Obama!

No matter who wins the Democratic nomination. This fall Democrats, Independents, and a lot of Republicans will fall all over each other to vote aginst the tired, angry old man John McCain.

Dave,

Nice stats....very revealing!

I do not believe that John Helton is fair to Sen. Barack Obama. If you notice in his story, "Analysis: Obama Continues to Chip Away at Clinton's Base", Mr Helton writes, "If the demographic trends continue, it doesn't look good in Texas." I then ask, doesn't look good for who? I think it looks very good for Obama supporters and Texas. It seems that it is still a climb for Obama when reporters or writers put a negitive spin on things.

Obama, during Thursday’s debate, I believe Hillary will be even more irritating, defensive, and sharp tongued. She has already lost and wants to bring you down with her. Just remember your calming Aloha spirit, Christian values, and peace making mind set. The movement you started is so much bigger than Hillary Clinton (and John McCain)

OBAMA 08 !

I think a lot of people really want someone who will provide a new and fresh perspective as President. It is more important to be an effective leader and get things done than it is to tout policy specifics. Clinton will continue to be great in Congress, but leave the leadership to someone who can unite and be positive.

Somebody please tell Mills Lane to step in and stop the fight. She's taking a vicious beating. Please stop it before Obama permanently damages her career.

If you look at the ten most experienced politicians who ran for and wont he presidency and then look at the 10 least experience that ran and won, and you predicate their expeirence based upon public service in state and national government, etc., Obama, when put into th chart comes in 11th out of of field of 21. That places him smack in the middle in the experience category.

Remember, Grnat, Lincoln, Eiesnhower and others had virtually no experience at all. In fact, a few of them had absolutely none whatsoever.

LBJ was the most experienced and I think it iwas Truman who was the least. Even Linclon was but a self-taught lawyer.

Obama is a gifted inspirational speaker and nothing else. Americans are going to have to demand some substance to the answers to our problems other than "HOPE'!

It’s amazing to me that people are basing their favor towards Obama based on rhetoric, and not substance. The man’s got 4 years of experience. Everyone says that they are sick of the status quo, but shouldn’t we elect someone who knows how to deal with it. How can you be expected to change an entire establishment, when you don’t understand fully the workings of it? If I was sick, I would much rather have an experienced doctor take care of me than a medical student. I appreciate the enthusiasm he has created in our country, I really do, but words are truly meaningless without substance. We can all promise change, but it’s more important to deliver. If change is what he truly strived for, and not change just for himself, he should’ve waited till the next election season after he had some policy experience backing him up. Then, he would’ve had my vote.

Amelia......a lot of peple are saying that they will vote for Mccain if Obama wins.......

In a lot of blogs that I have been reading across the nation, I have heard many people say that they will vote for McCain if Billary wins again.....I have also heard many republicans and independents say that they will vote for Obama if he wins but will not vote for Billary if she wins...they will be forced to vote for McCain. Many republicans, independents and Democrats want new faces to run our country...we have grown tired and inpatient with the same ole faces with the same old good ole boys club and the Clinton Machine.....we want to join forces and take back our dignity as a respected country in the eyes of the entire world.....we are just literally sick and tired of what we have seen in the past 25 years....Heck, I have to agree with Michelle Obama...I am finally proud of America the land of opportunities..

They're all politicians! Regardless of who occupies the White House, McCain or Obama, don't hold your breath until "things change"! After all, the President still has to contend with Congress! Maybe our new leader will listen to the voting public, but don't get your hopes up!!

I am now convinced that people in these United States will listen to any line and ignore all facts.........too bad! Senator Clinton is the best person for the job but Senator Obama talks a great line!

If anyone questions this and you feel that Senator Obama is so honest, etc. – aside from getting a grip, go check out checkfact.org. He manipulates and spins just like the rest of them.

He is willing to leave millions uninsured under his proposed healthcare plan. Flys in the face of what the Democratic party stands for.

He is willing to disenfrancise millions of American voters for his own personal political gain. What is to support there?

Senator Obama is devisive and splitting the democratic party. He is just as devisive having his well known named supporters use race as a tool. Oprah said he was the best since he was 'one of us'.........throw back to the 60's if ya ask me! Shameful .........

Texas – Ohio.....wake up, he is not all his words crack him up to be! Read who he is leaving out! Probably over 15 million on health care alone. Senator Clintons package does NOT mandate sanctions on salaries. Read her proposal! Senator Obama is handing out in his speeches a lot of misleading information. READ IT FOR YOURSELVES!!!!! Don't believe everything you hear!

Oh well, if ya all want to be caught up on the train and fail to look at common sense......I'll be the one on the corner with the signs saying 'Don't blame me, I voted for Hillary'!

For the good of the party, it is time for Billary "Huckabee" Clinton to bow out gracefully and allow the party to heal and unite around the next President of the United States Baraka Obama.

Of course, some Hillary Huckabee supporters will cut off their nose to spite their faces and run to McCain...but after this latest defeat it is crystal clear that unless she steps aside now...she is nothing more then a wart on the face of the party...something that is ugly, annoying and must be treated until it finallly goes away. Is this the legacy that the Clinton's and her fans want or do they want to remain national figures and have some importance in the next phase of American History?

Leave now for the good of the party, to avoid anymore Texas sized Whippings and save some face...otherwise Hillary Huckabee – you will be remembered as a sore loser with no grace, dignity, loyality and honor!!!

Much respect – The Great State of Texas

Amen to Amelia

Amelia, you are right about that though you failed to mention that on these blogs there are many republicans who said they would vote Obama instead of McCain. In either case, it think it is cutting off your nose to spite your face. HRC supporters take note "BO and HRC" have a lot in common so you should support any one that emerges the winner instead of voting for a republican whose views you don't necessarily agree with.

I look forward to a new era for the US.

The Clintons are part of the past, as is their style of politics. Every week their campaign tries another theme and another scheme. They plagiarize constantly. Look at how quickly they grasped "change", or John Edwards' remark about Blockbuster tracking videos. Last week a CNN report noted that Hillary seemed to be channeling Edwards. Then they try to make it an issue when they perceive others doing it.

It is time for change. It is time for the Clintons to accept that they are not a part of it and step aside with grace and dignity. Otherwise they'll be pushed aside with our collective contempt.

Can she win Tx and Ohio with huge margin? if not then the race is over. she is just making fun. I really dont understand why she doesnt accept her deffeat that too a huge defeat with huge margin. Do clintons think that superdelegates willl vote for her?

Casey, I agree with you.

I'm a Hillary supporter, but if Senator Obama does in fact win the nomination, then my vote goes for him.

WE CANNOT ALLOW ANOTHER REPUBLICAN TO TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE!!

Obama engages in great rhetoric, but does the king have any clothes?

Hey Dave, Look at those states....not much to speak of!!!

The negative adds wont stop. She is going to make sure she gets all the negatives out of the way as soon as possible. This will only hurt her since she is such a polarizing figure. So let her keep diggin her own grave.LOL

OBAMA '08

OH YEA, He will continue to improve across every demographic. He only lost by 3% of white women. That's pretty good considering that was the core of her bas.LOL

OBAMA '08

What kind of change are you looking for. Politics have been the same since the beginning of time. We all want change from Bush, but for everyday politics it will be the same politics even with Obama. Vote with your heads people not your hearts. We look like fools to the rest of the world by treating Obama like the savior. What a sad time for our country to vote for someone because their popular, not because their qualified. Clinton or McCain in 08.

These so-called college educated supporters of Obama have apparently never heard of plagiarism. Doesn't this go directly to character?

Obama continues to win and Clinton continues to lose. Superdelagates need to get behind a winner now in order to avoid a nasty fight at the convention. If that occurs, the party will be hurt tremendously. Obama is fresh air. Clinton is clouds and smoke of the past. Lets start anew. Ohio needs to support Obama and send a message to America that we want a new face in the White House.

Grace and humility are not all that hard to express, but for some unknown reason Hillary Clinton is incapable of digging down deep enough to find one shred of either. And she continues to dismiss the voters in the states in the last 10 races she has been trounced in.

Waht kind of experience, leadership and direction will she provide our country? It's all about cahracter and she has lost her soul.

Is Jesus Christ here already? Where's the bandwagon so I can jump on and change? If we really want change let's get rid of all those Washington politician's that have been in office more than 4yrs. Oh but we can't because those old politician's who support Obama are gonna have to tell him how to run the White House. Another George Bush, Jr. So much for change. Remember that old saying, "You get what you pay for". I'm a democrat and I will vote for McCain if Obama gets our nomination. At least with McCain he backs up his talk!

I am a life long democrat and i don't buy the hype and I can never support the lack of experience in this trying time in our nation. For over 17 years I have voted Democrat.

Not only will I not vote for Obama I will donate the maximum to McCain and campaign for him if he gets the nomination. This country can't afford for Obama to get elected at this juncture.

For the comments about the same old same old .... who do you think is boosting this man up ? Ed Kennedy, Kerry, other same old same old ... its the old boy network at its best .. he may be a fresh face but he is more of the same ... just remember the wolf in sheeps clothing when you are standing their stumped as to why the promises aren't being kept and his pacifist view of the Islamic world gets us into another 9/11.

We don't need that kind of experience that HC talks about all the time and by the way, he is much younger than she is...we need in Washington a newcomer with a lot of new ideas, willing to join forces (parties) and try to solve all kinds of big problems that we have. Obama is the candidate !!! No old ties and bad habits... GO OBAMA !!!

Casey, Well said. Because after it is all said and done, the Democrats HAVE to unite around WHOMEVER our party's candidate is. Too many people from BOTH camps are saying that if so-and-so wins, they will vote for, McCain, which is essence a THIRD BUSH TERM. So, again, thank you, Casey for your well-rationed support.

(Being an Obama supporter, I too, have always been prepared to vote for the the eventual Democratic nominee).

Through your current disappointment, how many of you readers of this are prepared to rise above yourselves and do just that?????

Hillary's supporters need to reflect back on their initial reason for supporting Hillary i.e. experience, experience and experience.

I believe that voters are losing sight of the issues as to why they originally supported their candidate in the first place, once Obama wins another state or gives anothe speech they are ready to change their vote.

What happened to loyalty to your candidate, as far as the young voters, I support, respect and admire their efforts and spirit to get involved in the political process, yet how much life experience do they have and how well versed are they on the issues at hand.

I actually heard a young voter state that she voted for Obama because he had pretty eyes and pretty teeth.

Get real, we need experience, we need Hillary!

It's time to get serious and focus on the REAL issues, if Hillary doesn't get the nomination, I'm for McCain.

I still believe Hillary will win it.

oBAMA supporters should just put a crown on his head and watch the US descend into chaos under his leadership.

I am so proud of Obama's consistently positive message despite the negative attacks from Clinton and McCain. He handles everything so eloquently. People discount this as a positive trait but think about how he will garner support from the global community! That same magnetic personality will create alliances around the world that we have never been able to achieve before!

He would be a wonderful president. I think he'll live up to all expectations and exceed them since this country needs to unite and create some nationalism which we haven't had in years. Sometimes a country needs HOPE to realize they can achieve the goals set out for them. I think he has positive intentions and would be the perfect person for Change in the nation.

Obama '08!

My vote will go to McCain (instead of Obama should he win nomination).

"People want change, people want honesty and integrity"

And of course the best way to get these things is to elect the guy who is running on someone else's 2 year old recycled speeches. How is that change?

Integrity such as doing favors for a slumlord in exchange for a $300,000 discount on his house (Tony Rezco).

Honesty like claiming that his parents met because of the Selma civil rights march in 1965, when he was born in 1961.

Yep, change, integrity and honesty. Sounds good, but you're looking in the wrong place. Obama is just another politician.

Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton just doesn't work for me... Sorry folks.

LMAO...Obama is no more change than George Bush!!!

They both don't know their rear end from a hole in the ground!!!

What good's the momentum if he's all bluster and no beef, as appears to be the case? As Ed Rendell once observed when asked if he was interested in a Senate seat, "they don't do [diddly-squat]." Last night, when Chris Matthews asked a Texas supporter of Obama what his legislative achievements were in the Senate, he couldn't name one.

Hillary can't beat someone thats genuinely trying to CHANGE all the same ole politics, because same ole politics is how she got there. She agrees with you if it benefits HER, not the country. All of her laying in bed with lobbyists and talk of fighting Republicans is old and tired. This nation has opened its eyes. Hillary has no substance, and if she does we wouldn't know it, shes too busy trying to attack her opponent. Barack is moving forward, and as far as CNN cutting away to Barack, no one in America is wanting to sit around listen to losing speeches. We as Americans are winners and want to support our winners, as with anything. Its sad that Hillary's supporters are becoming as nasty as her. Stop belly aching and get on the success train for CHANGE people, because its REAL, and with continued support Barack can make that agenda happen. Don't be surprised if Hillary makes things tough for him if he is in office. She doesn't care about anything but that presidency, and will fall nothing short of bitter for the rest of her life if he wins the nomination, and furthermore the presidency. I truly see her being the Democrat thats the thorn in our parties side. She has just shown us terrible things from her campaign.

At first, I was all for Hillary, but as I began to listen more carefully to Obama speak on certain issues; I quickly changed my mind. He appears to be more believable in his speeches and creates excitement where ever he goes. Hillary has no life in her speeches and she leaves me cold. If she does happen to win the nomination, I am thinking of voting Republican and that has never happened in my family before. She is always talking about solutions, but she fails to mention just what those solutions are. She doesn't offer anything better than Obama so why should I vote for her? By the way, did I fail to mention that I am a black woman??????????

He must have something if everyone is voting for him, right??????

Apparently Senator Clinton hasn't helped herself much with launching negative attacks. Maybe it is because her own negative ratings are in the high 40's.

Just compare the free time CNN gave Obama last night to the BRIEF clip from Hillary's speech. It's not over yet (pundits notwithstanding), but it is indeed a wonder given the fawning attention of talking heads like "the best political team" to Obama and their outright scorn for Hillary Clinton.

Hopefully Texas and Ohio will restore some common sense to the process and stop the momentum of a self-righteous hypocrite (whose wife has only now found reason for pride in her country).

Let's put the winning streak in perspective:

Contest margin of victory
Louisiana 21%
Nebraska 36%
Washington 37%
US Virgin Islands 81%
Maine 19%
Virginia 29%
Washington DC 51%
Maryland 23%
Wisconsin 17%
Hawaii 52%

Reality Check!

It just goes to show that the whole "Obama does better over time" argument is proving true. And I think that this doesn't bode well for Clinton since there is a two week lag btwn now and the primaries on 3/4. If he shows well in the debates, he could wipe out her lead and overtake her in those two critical states. Then it would be virtually over for her...if it isnt already.

If you call older under educated women your base that is...

what America is saying now is that, it's up to Texas and Ohio to determine if we could possibly have a Black president. The other states (mostly white) have proved that they have changed pertaining to race, but Hillary is saying to them, if you want to stop this black candidate and continue our tradition, this is your chance. Thats why she once believed Obama was winning because of black votes, because to her it have always been about race. If I was White and lived in Texas or Ohio, this would really offend me and she wouldn't get my vote even if I believed in her. Shes saying to Texas and Ohio, vote for me because I'm White regardless of if I'm right.

Obama is slipping his agenda in....note his Feb 19th statement on children:

"So we're going to provide a $4,000 tuition credit, every student, every year, but, students, you're going to have to give back something in return. You're going to have to participate in community service. You're going to have to work in a homeless shelter, or a veteran's home, or an underserved school, or join the Peace Corps."

This dear Americans is how they have lived in Cuba for years...kids eventually move from their homes to camps to provide this "community service"////hey folks, smatter of socialism?????????????????

I will preface my comments by admitting that I am a conservative. But, can't any of you see what a phony and a fraud Obama is? I refer to him and his speaches as a three dollar bill. I guess asking America to see through Obama is asking a bit much, after all we did elect Bush 2 times. Again, I am a conservative and was not foolish enough to vote for Bush. I am smart enough to realize that America had a certain prosperity under Bill Clinton and I would vote for Hillary if she were nominated. Let me also let you dems in on a not so well kept secret. The republican race has been decided for some time now, and many people who will vote straight rupublican in the next election are grabbing the dem ballot in the primaries and voting for the candidate they know they can defeat in the presidential election.

Obama also inserts earmarks. He also gets money from lobbyists. He also attacks other politicians. Where is "change we can believe in?"

I am old. I don't make 15 thousand a year. I am white. I am retired.
I don't think Obama can help me. I THINK HE CAN HELP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!

Clinton and McCain =corrupt Washington!
Obama 08!

Isn't it odd that when Hillary wins, it's nothing short of a huge overblown celebration. When Obama wins, she can't even bring herself to mention it in a speech she delivers right after the win. I don't like poor losers. I don't like Hillary. Obama 08 for sure.

If we look at any sport, Football, Hockey, Baseball, Basketball etc. Any team that has 10 straight wins, got to be in the finals.

All due respect to the overwhelming wisdom of the pundits and writers, but logic would dictate that as Obama gets an ever higher percentage of the vote, that it comes at the expense of the other candidates "base". He is garnering more and more of every demographic that could be contested. The simple proof is that his own "base" is expanding, ie. he's getting ever larger percentages of men. A more accurate analysis would also be a more simple one "Obama's Margin Grows", etc.

Obama's campaign is becoming a work of art. Clinton's a "Dean'esque" crash-and-burn. Who claims the executive experience here? It was supposed to be good for what ?

Go Obama Go!! Its time for a change. Time to end recycling in the whitehouse. Bush and Clinton era needs to stay history. One hurt our economy, the other humiliated our country as well as ignored information that killed many of our people. Its time for someone that shows tact, poise, and new ideas. Its time to give someone new and different a chance. Tired of deception, manipulation, and childish behavior. Tired of old time politics that Clinton is involved in. She has wasted enough of our tax dollars for her own personal wealth. I would rather hear good headlines about our country not dirty gossip, corruption about our country!! Our country needs to get a good name again. Clinton already tarnished it once.

Obama 08!

thanks for being polite Casey. It's not often we here positives from a Clinton supporter.

OBAMA 08

It would seem there's a new sheriff in town, and his name is Barack Obama..

Barack Obama is the real thing. The more people hear him and see him...the more they like him and trust him. He represents change and hope. Barack Obama has run an inspiring and flawless campaign. And he's smart enough to keep working, state by state... not taking anything for granted. Hillary just can't compete with that. (Neither can John McCain.)

Thanks Casey!!! I agree! I did support Clinton as well, but I am willing to get behind whoever wins the Democratic Nomination!

To all Democrats: Let's put the petty bickering aside and unite behind the Democratic Nominee!!!!

Casey – Thanks for those words. I echo them back to Mrs. Clinton.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I know that nothing is finished yet. Neither the nomination, nor the general.

And whomever gets the Democratic nod will need all of our support to upend Mr. McCain and the failed policies of a Republican dynasty.

Congratulations on your ten consecutive wins!!!

Keep the momentum.

Obama for '08!

I am an Obama supporter. Let's just keep McCain out!

People of all walks are gravitating to Obama. Sorry Hillary and Hillary supporters, but the writing is on the wall. It's time to face facts and accept that Barack Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee. Mud slinging, etiquette tantrums, and no amount of "hear Hillary roar" is going to change this reality. She lost.

It's time to come together to beat McCain and burry the flawed neo-con doctrines of the Bush administration forever.

Yes, we can

Sen. Hillary Clinton, "Poor Campaign Strategy" from "Day One"

Much love Sen. Hillary, but Obama 08

Obama will be defeated in the General Election. I will gladly add my vote to see that happen. He can go back to the Senate and do some work, not just give speeches. Then he can run for President again.
Oh, I forgot, If he doesn't win this time, he won't run again.

He may be winning but I will not vote for him in the general election if he is the Democratic nominee no matter if he is the only one left that wants to pull out of Iraq. And I am all for leaving Iraq and spending our tax payer dollars at home.

I used to believe there could be no worse choice than Hillary. Now that Obama has won 10 states in a row with nothing but words I am re-thinking that belief. Wake up people. He may be a leader, but he hasn't shown it yet. Please make him prove it before electing him as the Presidential nomination. This isn't the leader of a civic club that we are electing. I don't see Hillary as much of a leader either, but Obama hasn't even led a Senate committee. Is this what we want for the greatest free country on earth?

Why is CNN not collecting more meaningful data on party affiliation in the exit polls, especially in open primary states? There are too many NA's in the subcategories of party and race.

The only info revealed is that Hillary won the white Dem vote in Wisconsin. Obama "won" the I's and R's. Seems bizarre for someone sitting on the left edge of politics. We have no way of knowing how sincere those I and R votes are, whether they will switch gears in the General Election.

Thank God for Superdelegates.

I like Barack Obama. he appears to be sincere and honest in his intentions. I hope if he becomes president that he will not allow politics to spoil his good intentions. Obama for president 2008!

Congratulations to Senator Obama, i , my Familly and a lot of our

Friends are so proud of you that we have find someone who can

bring people from every race together and who can unite our Great

Nation thr U.S.A, may the almighty God bless you and your Familly

to continue to dream for our Nation and to show our Great Nation

to the entire World

God bless you and God bless Amreica

While Obama is being compared to JFK, which seems to be a fair comparison, we need to remember that experience is far more important than charisma.
Remember when JFK took office and we had the Bay of Pigs and he was the one that opened the door to Vietnam. Would he have done this if he was more experienced. These are things we need to think about. I loved listening to JFK, but we also need to look at his record and see the mistakes early on. We should not put too much faith in Teddy Kennedy's endorsement. Look at his background. I am older voter and there are things that you don't forget.

YES WE CAN YES WE CAN YES WE CAN WE ARE FIRED UP

I HAVE A DREAM I HAVE A DREAM I HAVE A DREAM

Disclamer : i am not a clinton supporter

We need more than "change"; we need experience, too. Vote McCain for both.

thank u casey you are the real democratic supporter may God bless you.

Congrations to Sen. Obama. If the Clintons wii not say it the American people will.
Yes we can Yes we can Yes we can

Finally, were seeing the Clinton family almost at there last stand...I really hope that Obama can win Texas and Ohio because then it will be over for Hillary.

OBAMA 08*

When this election began all of us but 2 of 53 were voting for Hillary.
At this point all but 9 are for Obama. The longer this goes on the fewer
votes she will get. Some of us ladies for Hillary can best be described
as furious,at how she and Bill have conducted themselves. It's a vote
at any cost .She is not in a cat fight. If anyone lacks substance,she does more than any of the other candidates,republican or democrat.She has put herself in a place where you would not want her as a friend,let alone
as a president.

Congratulations to senator Obama, we proud Americans are also

proud of you that we find someone who can, should and must lead

this great Nation the U.S.A .

May God Bless you when you will be elected to work for our Country

and bring our Country where it suppose to be ,Fired up Ready to go

Yes we Can , si se puede, oui nous pouvons

God Bless you and God bless the U.S.A

Well done Obama – stay atop of the fray – continue to be gracious – and never lose your cool!

All Obama has to do is just stick to his plan and keep adding substance dynamic.
People, the older bibs and bobs have to realise ' the audience has changed'. This is a 18 – 40 year old generational election and America needs this NOW. Plus the fact that 'same ole same ole is simply not working!

P.S However, I am losing respect daily for the so- called analysts and pundits who seem to pick issue with every little thing!
Gosh, how petty, puerile and positively pathetic. These guys are 'stuck'!

Congrats to Obama!

Hillary, the time has come for you to gracefully bow out. You have been bragging that you were inevitable for a year now. Bad idea. Now, the American people have spoken, please respect that. I hope you learned the lesson that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch!

Well done Casey. Let's hope all voting Dems can keep their eyes on the prize...and that means true leadership in Washington. I am grateful to have to intelligent people running for the Dem party, I just firmly believe Obama will be able to bridge the gap better than hillary...but I have no doubts she would be an effective president, and would absolutely vote for her in Nov.

She has done nothing wrong...it's just a matter of Obama connecting with people.

Read his book...Dreams of my Father...get a great glimpse into the soul of this man...he was destined to lead. schlocky as that may sound, I firmly believe it. He has something special that will allow him to bring left and right together, and give a voice back to regular americans...not K Street.

yo hillary wake up and get out. all dems unite for obama. even your misgided followers are learning!

Obama 08!!!

For those who say he is young and inexperienced,
Imagine If Bill Gates had waited for your approval!!!!!

Casey posted: "Congratulations to Obama. He will be a great President if he lives up to any measure of what is expected of him. Once he secures the nomination, if in fact he does, we should unite around him, and HOPE for the best.

Disclaimer: I am a Clinton supporter"

Casey – Obama will be an unqualified disaster. If he does win the nomination, this Clinton supporter and everyone else I know that are Clinton supporters wil NOT unite around him. We will vote for McCain and do everything we can to keep this empty suit out of the White House. If he wins the nomination, I am changing parties. I dont want to be any part of a party that would nominate this snake oil salesman as our candidate for president. I have never voted for a republican in my life and I'm 47 and have voted in every election. The only HOPE that he inspires in me is the HOPE that he and all his supporters get hit by a very large bus!!

Democrats for McCain – GO GO GO!!! (If Obama wins the nomination.)

Isn't it ironic, how Hillary continues to talk about experience verses change. Hmmm...I do recall it was Bill during his campaign for presidency ...and he said "Experience is not everything". So with his lack of experience that didn't make a difference obviously because he won that nomination. Obama has integrity and character of good morals and values. That is what got Bill elected and will get Obama elected. Perhaps he inspired Obama, if he could do it...maybe just maybe it's Obama's time.

I can't stand Hillary. She represents more of the same, the continuation of the 'status quo.' Obama represents a chance to change our government from the 'career politicians' and 'good old boy network' and bring some honor back to the USA after all the damage that Bush and his cronies have done during the last eight long and painful years.

Obama '08! Yes we can!

Hilllary's experience and change failed to convince the voters.
Now solutions failed as well.
Hillary just cannot convince the majority of voters other than superdelegates, who will have to reconsider their pledge if they are holding an elected position.

Good for you Casey. I certainly hope the rest of us follow your example to support whichever candidate wins and help to push our country in the direction we want it to go.

Hopes and Dreams?

What does that have to do with being able to run the country?

I have had hopes and dreams all of my life. Obama has not asked me to tell him any of my hopes and dreams. He doesn't know what my hopes and dreams are, so how is he going to help me achieve them? Clinton has a plan that everyone can benefit from regardless. That's the message that needs to get out to the people. People should be offended that Obama is playing with their minds the way he is. His rhetoric is an insult to the intelligence quotient of the Amercan people

If Hillary does not concede, I hope that the voters in upcoming states can at least unite behind Barack Obama so that we can defeat John McCain in November. This is our country and we have to take control–by the people, for the people

I can't wait for the debate in Texas!! I want the panel to ask some serious questions like "what are your plans for fixing the economy?" Obama still has not put his out there and Hillary has. I want to see some tuff issuses come up in this debate I am sick of the "Obama supporting media" tip toeing around his feelings and throwing the book at Hillary. It is show and tell time Mr.Obama you need to put it out there now but something tells me you will dance around this issue like every other one you have. I will continue to say this SUBSTANCE OVER EMPTY SPEECHES. we need a leader and not a preacher!!!

It looks like I will be voting for a republican for the first time this fall. There is no way I will vote for Obama.

I am 38 years old and have never been so interested in politics as I am now. I am disappointed to hear that people are guiding themselves by a "momentum" instead of the real need for our country.
This country is going through tuff times.
I want a president who can take the bull by its horns, I don't want an apprentice at the White House. Think people, think.
This is not the real momentum for Obama. He can run again in 8 years.
I AM VOTING FOR HILLARY CLINTON and I believe she can still make it happen!

Obama is the man,at this very crucial time,we need peace and time to get our economy back on track not war upon war,when i listen to him i see honesty and i believe in him,this rep is voting for the future not the past.
OBAMACAN FOR LIVE!

The "Obama Express" is in full motion. He is going to win Texas, and finish favorably in Ohio. It is amazing how people remember what her husband did, but even remember more of why she did not distant herself from him at the onset of his "lovefests." The price you pay for the life you choose.

PREDICTION:

THANKS TO CNN ELECTIONEERING, MCCAIN WILL WIN THE 2008 PRESEDENTIAL ELECTION!!!

GO CNN! GOBAMA! GO DIVIDE THE DEMOCRATS!

GO REPUBLICANS GO!

CONGRATS PRES. MAC!

In many blogs across the web, a lot of people are saying that they will vote for McCain if Obama wins the Democratic nomination. These people want experience and don't feel Obama has that.

"Chip away"? It hasn't just been 10 wins in a row but 10 blowouts. Check out the margins:

Contest margin of victory
Louisiana 21%
Nebraska 36%
Washington 37%
US Virgin Islands 81%
Maine 19%
Virginia 29%
Washington DC 51%
Maryland 23%
Wisconsin 17%
Hawaii 52%

Those are awfully big chips.

YouTube – Obama campaign rep STUMPED on legislative accomplishments

This is a must see! You can actually hear people laughing in the background.

Admirable qualities pave the road with good intentions, however I want a candidate that not only has admirable qualities but has had admirable actions in her career. I want progress not a promise.

Clinton 08

Our country will fall, except in the hands of responsible leadership, and that is not the people who are in power right now.

Wait until the Debate....Hillary will smoke him!!! Too bad Obama can't have a speech writer sitting next to him. In Wisconsin alot of Republicans voted for him, for kicks and giggles, who won't vote for him in November.

As an original supporter of Obama's presidency bid, I say keep chipping away Obama. Stay positive and stay focused and you will not only win the nomination but the presidency!

Obama in '08!

I think Obama is what this country needs because the old men who keep getting elected because of name recognition are the same old men that have ruined our economy, ruined our environment, ruined our country for future generations.

Thank you Obama for Thanking the voters that voted in the freezing weather..Thank you for not forgetting us......
Once again, Hilary did not even say a Thank you to those who did vote for her. She just moved on to the next state. People stood in lines, in freezing weather to cast their votes, and she did not even acknowledge them. That really makes me wonder what she will do after the elections if she wins, will she forget about us too since she got what she wanted. Typical politics, they forget who got them where they are now...The PEOPLE

Dear Clinton Supporters:

How long will it take for you to see the writing on the wall? Hillary repeatedly demonstrates that she is only concerned about winning. She is not truly concerned about the voters as she did not have the decency to thank the hundreds of thousands of voters who braved the arctic temperatures to vote for her. She did not show basic courtesy by refusing to congratulate Obama until after her speech, and probably only because her staff did a poll and the results told them she had better do it. Is this who you want to lead our country? Let go of your hate and join the good side of the force!

I guess those negative TV ads and mailings in Wisconsin were not working too much in her favor.
Obama '08!

People want change, people want honesty and integrity. I for one am tired of the same old same, same status quo, same old politics, same dynasty in power, same speeches, same promises and no change in 35 years..................

Congratulations to Obama. He will be a great President if he lives up to any measure of what is expected of him. Once he secures the nomination, if in fact he does, we should unite around him, and HOPE for the best.
