The only thing that got me was Hillary not thanking the approx. 200,000 people who did vote for her and all the other hundreds who helped get her campaign to the people and who came out to her rally to support her. I wish she at least acknowledged them. Then again, it may have been difficult to mention Wisconsin w/out congratulating Barack; it would have been that much more obvious an intent. I don't know. Still, I wish a little thank you worked its way into her speech.

Arrogance, desperation and poor organizational skills have been the hallmark of the Clinton campaign. Where is the experience she speaks so highly of and why hasn't it been applied to her sinking campaign. As for Obama's true colors showing…well what you see is what you get…he's for real so deal with it!

Obama '08 !

44 minutes of a speech to rally Houston, snore! to 20,000, snore! What a bore! At least, McCain said something tangible and kept my interest. Hillary, who I will write in if she does not win the primary, is right, it will be another tough election and they will not give up the White House without a fight. So wind up that ego again and go man, go!

The reporting of CNN on the democratic election has really been bias and obviously in favor of Obama. I'm a huge supporter of Clinton. I really can't see myself voting for Obama… should he win, my vote will go to McCain.

The negative slamming of these candidates is getting old. They both bring an impressive list of skill and ability to the table. They both have their down sides that most of you hi-light in raging insults. I can handle it from those of you with way to much time on your hands and an anonymous format to be heard but I'm tired of the media's involvement. They took an innocuous topic like, "gee, did Hillary mention the Wisconsin voters or congratulate Barak?" and turned it into a full artillary attack on Hillary. If anyone is actually listening to talk TV tonight, they also said Barak didn't acknowledge the Wisconsin voters either. Where's that article. I'm a Barak supporter and I'm disappointed that the media doesn't let him stand on his own. They have him walking on water and he's just a man with a vision like every candidate out there. Let him convey that so the hillary supporters and Republicans have no ammunition against his campaign.

Has anyone else noticed how Hillary always fails to thank the supporters in the state that she just lost? In a report on NPR, I heard her say that Iowa wasn't a real determinant of her support and that moving to a primary state (New Hampshire) would be a true measure for her. Everytime she loses she makes the same excuse…and on to the next state! Why can't she just be thankful for her supporters in multiple states and be humble enough to not belittle them in her interviews/speeches.

Dear B. Obama,
We welcome you to Texas. We will be supporting you down here.
SI SE PUEDE
yes we can

"The stakes are too high and the challenges are too great to play the same old Washington game with the same old Washington players and expect a different result."

Obama '08

Obama's act was really arrogant and unethical. This kind of acts will not unite the country but will divide even democrats. I would not be surprised if Hillary and centrists in Democrats will help McCain to win in November. I really didn't like the substance of his speech. He sounded like ultra liberal socialist.
McCain 2008.

How does any normal person not congratulate a candidate who has won 8 times in a row? Is she even human? We need real people in the white house. People who feel our pain and fears. We do not stones and blocks. Her disregard suggests she feels sure his wins do no not matter. Now, what would that kind of confidence suggest? Same old politics by same old Washington players as usual? This must not be allowed to continue. I believe in the urgency of now.

Totally off the topic here but can anyone shed light on this: On the cnn election center they always list all the demographics of the voters. It's always by gender and age. In this campaign race does matter. I'd be interested to see how the exit polls work saying that 88% of black voters voted for……yet they're never mentioned in the demographics on this web site.

If Hillary cant give congrats to a fellow democrat, why should Obama wait for her to finish a speech where she is just belittling him.

Smart move on the Obama camp to come out and give he's Wisconsin primary victory speech.

Even smarter for the networks to show his speech.

Next time congratulate the victory!

Oh yea the count in N.Y. for some reason networks aren't airing the fact that in 80 districts Barack Obama received a "ZERO" vote count! They are recounting those votes now…

As I understand it, Senator Clinton delayed her speech by nearly an hour. The switchover was not an Obama or CNN cheapshot.

The last time I checked they don't spend a lot of time interviewing the Super Bowl losers, the boxer that got KO'd, or the other four actors that didn't win the Oscar. Not switching over would have only been the overt act of a Clinton supporter.

One last thing…

Nearly all these posts are bashing the last. You all don't realize you have one great attribute in common. You are all sheep. Some look like donkeys and others like elephants, but you've all proven you can't think for yourselves.

Neither a liberal nor a conservative approach can work in every situation. Neither the Dems or Reps have all the answers. Sometimes you gotta give it up; other times you don't.

Quit picking sides and do as our founding fathers and mothers did. Stand in the middle and do what's best for everyone.

Obama is dumb

This only further illustrates how Polarizing Hillary can be, and how ungracious she can be when she is down.

Voters should really take a close look at this woman and see how divisive and unproductive she can be.

Her Campaign is falling apart and instead of Uniting those who may lean to her aid and are sitting on the Fence when it comes to Barack, she is further demonstrating how this Election is NOT about the Democrats or the country, but about her own Ambition for Power.

Obama has always played Fair, and only discusses differences in Issues and Not personal Attacks.

Join the Movement Everyone. OBAMA 08!! = D

How about Chelsea Clinton, begging people to vote for her mother, she is even more arrogant. As if at 27 years of age, she cant talk to the media. Forget you too.

I think she showed poor manners by not atleast mentioning the results in Wisconsin. Some people did vote for her it might of been nice for her to mention that. Forget Obama, I am sure it came as no surprise to him that she said nothing. I understand she is frustrated but if she would of won and Obama did not acknowledge, that would of been front page news. Hillary you are just showing us who you really are!!!!!!!!

The reason why some folks end with a sinking ship is because they do not have enough sence to jump onto a winning or safer team when they had the chance…

To both Hillary and Obama supporters,

please stop this constant insulting of one another.
I'm glad to see that there are a few smart people on this page who are also trying to encourage you democrats to unite and stop this hate against one another.
Obama supporters, PLEASE stop saying you won't vote for Clinton if she's the nominee.

Same goes to you Clinton supporters!

Knock it off both sides. The media along with the republicans are playing us democrats against one another. Don't you see it?

Don't let the same thing that happened to us in 04 happen again.

We CANT afford another Bush in the white house.

Have any of you commenting about the negative campaigning on Clinton's part seen any of Obama's ads???? Thought so.

It's like in racing, if they are interviewing the losers and the winner pulls into victory lane they cut to that scene.

I think the people who voted for her in Wisconsin deserved a big thank you more than congratulating her opponent. I don't recall her doing that in her speech either. Seems to me that not only is she a sore loser, but an ungrateful person.

Someone needs to press this man "Obama", he's getting off way too easy, no other candidate would escape true scrutiny. No point in being nice and easy here, the next leader of our country better be tough and tested and now is as good a time as any, the rest of the world won't be letting him off with a kiss on the cheek or a slap on the wrist, translated that means America will pay if he's not ready. I'm a Hillary supporter, I won't be voting for Barack, I'll be writing her in if he wins the nom, most people I talk to who are HRC supporters say they'll vote McCain instead because there confidence for real change was in Hillary. Most politicians offer hope and promises, so Barack, that's not new and it doesn't mean anything will change.

America has a chance to do the right thing, once again, Let's not blow it. We have a charismatic front-runner who should not be denied his opportunity to harness all the energy he has generated and put it toward solving the not unformidable challenges we face at home and abroad.

I for one would welcome a President who is willing to talk, not dictate, who brings fresh ideas,not old baggage, and who will be sensitive to his entire constituency, not just the old-boys gang.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to DECEIVE…..Hillary is a sore looser, and it is so shameful for a former first lady……

Hillary wash the blood off your hands….:)

With love.

"Acknowledging your losses isn’t required in politics, though it is a courtesy that’s been practiced for decades."

I keep being surprised that she doesn't realize this… given her 35 years of experience and all.

I really wish people would READ the actual article before commenting! Obama began speaking at his appointed time–it was Hillary who delayed HER speech!

The reason CNN cut from Hilary is because she is a loser, she lost tonight. Nobody wants to hear a loser talk about ther' loser views, they want to hear the winner talk about winnning!!!!

that is American politics at it best, its a full contact sport if you can't take it then leave it!!

VOTE 2008 doesn't matter who wins, just VOTE

Numbers don't lie. There's at least 150,000 votes that separated Obama and Clinton. Clinton supporters, get over it!

I see that Obama talked about hte victims of the subprime mortgage mess tonight, too bad they did not get the same sweet deal he got on his 1.6 million dollar Chicago residence.

The next thing CNN will talk about is "Hilary is Breathing !!!! " - Why make a big deal that she did not congratulate him - she called him after the speech - why not focus on that ???

When the MSNBC guy used profanity when mentioning Chelsea Clinton, Hilary was not allowed to react .It was a crime that she stepped up to protect her daughter.But it is perfectly OK for Mrs Obama to come on Larry King and say she is "ticked off" when people talk about her husband. And do you really think America needs a first lady who is for teh first time proud to be an American just last night???
If she has no reason to be proud to be an American then why is her husband trying to be the president?

I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what happened to plain on journalism where they report facts - CNN is so opinionated and biased - why not just come out an endorse Obama?

Also can CNN air a show on how many so called 3rd world countries have had women heads of state ( like Pakistan ,Bangladesh ,Srilanka,India ) years back. And we call ourselves the most advanced nation in the world????

Clinton supporters can you explain to me what makes her have so much experience? What cause she was first lady? What cause she has been in the senate longer? Cause she is older? I remember when I was younger it was always the president is going to be the person with military experience. Obama and Hillary are both lawyers they have both done the same type of work. Who stands for more is what we need to ask ourselves NOT who takes money from lobbyists to make a decision on how they should vote

I agree with Steve, even if Hillary had congratulated Obama, she would have been cut off. I'm getting so sick of the media spinning every story about Hillary to be negative.

Hillary is our only hope! I just pray that Texas votes right and gives her a win by a large percentage!

HILLARY '08!

Why are you HRC supporters acting like spoiled children, especially since most of you are so old? I really can't believe that when you enter the booth on Nov 4th you would pull the lever for McCain to throw some little tantrum for the head of you "machine." To do so is to overturn legal abortion, set us up for a 100 years war in Iraq, and more trade deals that favor CEO's and shareholders over workers. Is that really what you want to do? Grow up and grow some. REPRESENT!

Were tired of war talk, loud finger pointing republicans and the Clinton's.

Let's move on America, for the love of the our children.

Sincerly please, we must stop the maddness.

For all who believe it is fair game to enjoy yourselves in injustice and be conveniently blinded when it suits your purpose, I hope you accept just as gracefully when it happens to you and you suffer your own in silence!

It just does not matter who you support; we must all learn to discern right from wrong. I really found it very distasteful that CNN et al just set aside Senator Clinton's speech and aired Senator Obama's fully! Surely they all know that this in itself sends adverse signals to the upcoming voters!

But always remember that "what goes around comes around" and when we least expect it.

So what will Hillary's excuse be for losing Wisconsin? Cheese states don't REALLY matter? lol.

would all you obama supporters stop your gloating-you ( and Mrs. Obama) are doing more to alienate almost half of the Dem. party with all your childish nah nah nahs-and your 'with us or against us" attitude - and you call Hillary divisive,?

Maybe if she would have called to congratulate they could have coordinated their speech timing.

Let's get real. The republicans know that Mcain is their nominee soooooooooo instead of voting for Mcain, they voted for the weaker opponent. I am not proud to say this but Obama is going to be eaten up when it comes time to face Mcain. Mcain is very and I mean very inteligent when it comes to national security. I think the democratic party is being set up to fail.

It surprises me to see that much valued portals, CNN included have consistently shown a negative bias against Hillary. They very well know reporting does matter. In any case, I would still hope that there is greater transparency and honesty looking forward. Lets face it that Obama is plain words and no real action. Everybody is trying Hillary and she is out to prove her worth. She will just emerge out fine and win the nomination. God bless America and kudos to Hillary for emerging out stronger everytime.

How dumb people are getting. Electing a man just because he can talk a big game but has no idea how to really do it. I hope Texas and Ohio show this country talk is cheap. Action is the real deal. A vote for Obama is a vote for McCain to win in November. Look at the votes in 1988 election it just may repeat again and give McCain a win in November. Mrs Clinton is our best chance in November. People wake up.

It's time for Hillary to drop out. Even Mitt Romney had swallowed his pride and dropped out for the sake of his party. She's simply diminishing the chances for Dems every day she remains in the race.

Lots of hardball mudslinging coming Obama's way………….stay the course……

what she talking about ? give a break!!!!!!!!!it is good for her to endorse smart black men who is going to leads the country to 21st century.

You are so right Noans

Can you say "poor loser"?

Clinton voters.. What kind of kinder-garden is this? If Obama is on the list you vote for McCain???? Grow up people.. Think about your future, kids..

I wonder if the moderators of the debate will also try to bate Senator Clinton as the "venerable" Wolf Blitzer did. In any case Hillary wins debates with Obama. Debates are not forums for rhetorical speeches.

A great Republican, and ultimately, a unifier, Abraham Lincoln, once proclaimed that a "house divided against itself cannot stand". As a Democrat, I certainly hope people will not lose sight of the big picture and vote out of sheer spite if their preferred candidate loses. Both Democratic candidates are phenomenal and I am so proud that it is OUR party that has taken upon itself to propel them forward. Who would've thunk? Do we not see how far we have come? Please let's not tear down what we've built over a bruised ego. Our great country deserves much better. I will certainly vote for one of the two current Democratic candidates come November.

hey yall, i would've said congrats if my opponent won, and dont be hatin on Obama my homboy!!!!

Gold Canyon Gal,

If 18 year olds can fight and die in a war, then they certainly have the right to vote!

Gooooo Obama!!!!

Were tired of war talk, loud finger pointing republicans and the Clinton's.

Let's move on America, for the love of the our children.

Sincerly please, we must stop the maddness.

It wasn't Obama choice to cut off Hillary. They were in two different states. CNN decided who they were going to air in their entirety and besides you can watch the whole speech on the cnn website. Stop being sore losers like Hillary. He was the projected winner so of course they were going to show his speech in entirety. There have been times when they have cut his speech off for hers.

She did congratulate him but as we know CNN and others is so biased

Sue in Michigan, New Mexico was over long before the counting was complete. Since New Mexico, Obama won 9 and lost 0. That constitutes as 9 in a row. Even using new math.

Obama - Edwards 08

Go O!!!

Gold Canyon - 18 year olds have just as much a right to vote as you. If we can join the army and defend our country, then we can vote. Also, WE are the next generation so WE should have the president WE want. Sorry but YOUR days are over, and a new wave is coming - of Hope and Change.

Also if any of you noticed Hilary was LATE on delivering her speech. If she was ON TIME then the news stations would not have had to flip over to Obama. Obama wasn't arrogant Steve, he was sticking to the schedule. Thank god someone does.

OBAMA 08.

Why does she has to congratulate Obama, is it because he is winning these races with his big bucks not with so called popular vote. I heard that in these election centers, Obama is paying money to people to vote for him

And so, since when was this an important part of campaigning?

Hey guess what? I needed a new job since I am unemployed - I voted for "hope" through Obama and…got a job within 24 hours.

Guess what else? My family needed health insurance since we could not afford to purchase any - my wife voted for "change" through Obama and we got health insurance within 6 hours.

And you know what else? I wanted to see a withdrawal of our troops from Iraq so my son voted his "yes we can" through Obama and immediately received an email from Barack saying it was a done deal.

Wow - this fluff really works!

Quit with the Obama was rude. They were competing for a national audience, why would he just defer to her? By the way CNN was not the only station that switch to Obama. Besides, her speech was so horribly boring. Oh and the reason Obama hasn't congratulated her is because she has lost the last 9 primaries.

Well, this week Obama shows he doesn't have any of his own thoughts, his wife hasn't been proud to be an American (guess the govt shouldn't have given them those student loans they talk about repaying) and he shows his true character by not waiting until Sen Clinton is done speaker. Why should she even think of congratulating him if he doesn't have the decency to wait until she is done speaking. The democrats have just handed the White House to Sen McCain.

clinton supporters who are bashing CNN for favoring obama, did you not notice that michigan were colored baby blue for clinton. now if that doesn't smell of pandering, i don't know what does. why are you not decrying that bias?

Why would we vote another Clinton into office? I am tired of the Bush-Clinton-Bush saga. Get someone new in office. What a tired campaign the Clintons are running. Old and tired and giving up – dying you could say.

Hillary is an ordinary politician trying to score on her husband's record. She should have the dignity at least to concede Obama's victories as 9 in a row is very impressive by any standard.

Maybe she's waiting for the fairy dust to settle?

When people are influenced by the cultlike movement, the country is in trouble. By then it might be too late to fix!!!

Can you people READ? Did you NOT read the article that left it to the end to say–"She started her speech an hour late"…so what's Mr. Obama suppose to do, hold up 20,000 people who had come at the appointed time for Madame Queen Hillary?

It's always something, with her.

CNN is writing Hillary off because she isn't delivering. The news wants to cover a winner, not a loser, and it's been 9 states since she's won something. Personally I don't want to watch more of Hillary whining about how Obama's wins don't represent the electorate and that he's only winning caucuses, crossover primaries, and red states that'll go Republican in the general election. If I understand Hillary right, she only wants to be President of die-hard Democrats and the rest of the country isn't worth a dang. It's not Obama's fault what the networks do; CNN itself stated that Hillary started after time. It's not his fault, or job, to cater to her schedule.

Way to go Obama. She doesn't show respect for anyone else, so why should he sit around and wait all night to give his speech (she was late giving hers). She obviously doesn't show respect for him or anyone and is your typical politician that nobody wants in the White house anymore. That is why she is now a long shot to win … GO OBAMA GO!!!

Obama is running a brilliant campaign. Speeches don't matter, eh? Why then does Hilary's speech matter?

If you will read the information from the report Hillary scheduled to give her speech 1 hour earlier that she did. Why she pushed her speech back 1 hour who knows. They both had them scheduled in advance so I would imagine she knew when his was going to happen and gave hers an hour later anyhow, knowing they would overlap. I would say poor planning by her or her team.

You all can say what you want….But America is speaking for itself….9 wins in a row speaks volumes……..Obama 08 !!!!!!

Come on you guys, it's not that serious. So what if Hillary hasn't congratulated Obama. She's losing and losing doesn't feel good to anyone. I know it's a little immature and lacks common etiquette, but hey, Hillary is out of her element right now. Her wicked wand is broken or something. Her spells are being cast backwards onto her.

I just have a question. Why is Obama considered arrogant just because he is winning? Is he getting too big for his britches…or perhaps out of line for some of you folks. Does he need to be reminded of his place? Why is he arrogant?

Hilary is the one that says that she is the tough candidate used to being scrutinized, so why is everyone whining now? It's funny how the campaign line keeps changing, when his has stayed the same–change!!! It's hard to say that you stand for change when you were in the white house (with your husband), you are the same that we have seen before. You even borrow your husband's speeches. . . or part of them, but who get criticized more, and takes it more gracefully. . .

JF, I feel the same way. If Hillary is the nominee, I am voting Republican for the first time in my life.

OBAMA 2008

Slip slidin' away

It"s lights out Hillary.

Its ten to zero. Hillary should back off and take at look at why people don't like her. Perhaps its time to start crying again. Worked in NH.

Senator Clinton didn't even acknowledge the people who supported her and voted for her in these past 9 elections. Shame on her! She deserved to have the lime-light taken off her.

Cnn said Hillary called Obama and congratulaed his win.

Yes Steve, because we all know Obama strategically placed his speech nears Clinton's to drive her off of the T.V.

These things are scheduled in advanced. It was the choice of the news agencies to cover the speech of the WINNER.

9 in a row. It's time to unite the party behind Obama. Hillary supporters and Obama supporters, we're all the Democratic party. Unite behind Obama.

Obama '08

A few weeks ago, CNN regularly cut away from Senator Obama speeches to go to Senator Clinton speeches. Clinton supporters lauded CNN for their fair coverage. Now the trend has reversed and they call foul.

Once upon a time, Obama supporters called CNN "The Clinton News Network" now the Clinton supporters are calling for CNN to endorse Obama.

Guess what folks, the story is the story. You can't change the fact that Senator Obama has won 9 primaries out of 9. Hawai'i hasn't come in yet. CNN has the reponsibility to report THE FACTS not the facts as either campaign would prefer but the facts as they are.

As for the comment 18 year old kids don't matter? They are old enough to enlist in the armed forces and go to Iraq and die. They are old enough to matter. In fact, to my mind, they matter more than someone who sat on their couch and didn't put their butt or that of a family member's butt on the line.

She has failed period.

This is great drama. Like The West Wing writ large. I hope it goes all the way to a brokered convention. The Democratic Primaries Rock! Woo Hoo!!!

She is washed up and extremely unpopular. I am surprised she got this far. I see 'Stop Hillary!' posters all over my town. She's part of the problem, not the solution. She is running on fumes and it's incredibly enjoyable to watch from a distance. When she loses Texas and Ohio, maybe her head will explode.

Hilary has now congratulated him, by private phonecall according to AC.

I think she needs to decide on one modeus operandi and stick to it. Am very confused right now as to what she stands for. Also it was a big, huge mistake for her to discount he states she lost in as inconsiquential. It makes the others rethink how she maybe viewing them.

Game is not over yet. But I am afraid Democrat's will loose in the general election. Obama people and Clinton people hate each. Is anyone know why Democrat primary got more vote those clinton hater having feast they are voting for Obama.

If you are a Dem you will support whomever the nominee is. You win some and you loose some. It does not take much to thank the voters in WI that came out and voted in below zero temperatures. Hillary should have thanked the voters regardless of the outcome. If she had won this primary she would have thanked them. If she somehow comes back and win the nomination she will want those voters to vote for again.

Barack shows me nothing but alot of talk he has no expreience in foreign affairs. He head is as big as his mouth. I wonder what all of the people will do when he is trying to run this country and he has to do more than give a good speech. His wife needs to apologize for her unpatriotic remarks about our country. And she would make a good first lady??? She seem to have the same problem as her husband a big mouth!

Obama is nothing more than an empty shell; He may be mesmerizing on the outside, but there is NOTHING inside.

HIllary has substance; how refreshing!!!

It is not important for Hillary to congratulate Obama. He kicked her butt again and we all know it, she knows it too. I am glad to be a part of the process of CHANGE and not one to settle for the same-old-same old rhetoric. Hillary is not going to move this country forward she is going to move the Clinton Dynasty forward. I supported Bill, thought he was good but Hill is not Bill and I did not blame him for his multiple affairs.

Well, that shows who she is that she cannot accept the fact that she lost. A true leader can admit that there are battles to be lost and others to be won.
She stated that those states did not count for her just like she said of other states………… apparently only some votes, some voices and some people count for Senator Clinton.

Obama 08. Yes We Can…………..

Honestly, she can't. What she did tonight, congratulate him in private reflects the stage they are at in this race.

I believe that Hillary needs to talk about the day she decided on her own to run for president. She needs to show that even if she is Bill's wife, this is no easy decision for anyone, and to want to put her family back through the tough days that are being the president, she must be the ultimate civil servant we are looking for to bring us through the days ahead.

also the hatred spewed by the obama supporters leads me to wonder
if that is all that man can inspire in people.

Hillary needs to understand that Americans are sick and tired of the "old" style politics. She's behaving like something out of a Jeff Foxworthy joke…..

Why can't she just be graceful? Isn't that a quality that future "presidents" should have, especially when the loss is NOT at all a close one?

She needs to cry before TX and OH.

Poor Hilary. If you don't want to be cut off, then don't delay your speech. The world isn't going to sit around and wait for you to spout your usual rhetoric. You'd think your "experiance" would tell you that…

It was rude for Hillary to start her speech without congratulating the winner. I am sure Obama waited to hear it. After that time elapses, Obama needed to move on. Why would anyone blame Obama, especially it has been habitual for Hilllary not to concede? Hillary was giving a rally, not a conceding speech. There was nothing wrong for Obama to go ahead with his victory speech. A gentleman and a witch.

This is the headline:

Clinton's election night speech fails to mention election

Why wasn't it something like:
Obama victory speech cuts Hillary off the air

When is the press going to stop treating Obama with kid gloves?

And CNN abruptly ended Clinton's speech in order to air a speech full of hot air.

For CNN, Obama can do no wrong. It is because of the media that the most inexperienced person will win the Democratic nomination.

People in Winconsin are concerned about the economy and they vote for a person with no experience. Now that is absurd. Congratulations Hussien Obama (yes this is his real name).

seems to me that the candidate who defines definite details and actions to achieve expressed goals would gain considerable support
in final stages!

Ohio knows they messed up the election last time around, here is the time for Ohio to right a wrong, Vote Obama.

You Hillary supporters, that Wisconsin win for Obama must be a big hit on your pride. I mean you people completely backed the wrong horse. I know, it hurts. Actually it must sting!

So put a big L on Hillary's forehead, but the L does not stand for Loser, in her case, it stands for LIAR. Republicans knew this for many years, but now democrats are beginning to see the real character flaws that she has.

I used to be a Clintonite. wow, did I have much pride to swallow.

Actually Sue in Michigan, it IS 10 in a row: New Mexico voted on Super Duper Tuesday but screwed up their election so badly it took weeks to figure out who voted for who. And technically, even though Billary had 1000 more votes than Obama, the delegates were divvied up in essentially a draw.

Of the dueling speeches Tim Russert, on MSNBC, said:

"I thought tonight when Hillary Clinton started speaking the Obama people were stepping back saying alright you go first you are the loser. When they heard no concession or no graciousness quote on quote coming from Hillary Clinton they decided why allow her an opportunity to criticize us? We are going to go out there and proclaim victory."

Hillary was late with her speech…if she can't keep her schedule, then she can't complain about being cut off. She looked tired anyway. Mc
Cain looked a lot like W with his Stepford appearing wife at his side. I am an old person and do NOT want the old politics of the past.

Obama: Yes We Can!!

She should cry again on a National Media, and only then she may see some light…Hahahahahaha

your bias toward obama is glaringly apparent

clinton fans are babies. Grow up change is coming.

Ummm…ALL the networks cut away to Obama's speech, as it was more relevent. Since when is the loser's remarks more remarkable than the victor's remarks?

It will be 10 in a row, when Hawaii's results come in.

Go Obama 2008

NOTE TO HILLARY R. CLINTON
Is it possible that Lou Dobbs is encouraging Republicans to switch over to Independents because Independents are permitted to vote in the Democratic primaries thus undermining your lead.
If that is the case, the Republicans’ are undermining your support groups, and that is their idea of Swift boating you, Hillary R.Clinton.
Is it possible for a survey to be taken on all these so called Lou Dobbs new Independents to see if their original affiliation was to the Republican Party.
Huh, those nasty, cleaver Clinton Conspirators…

What is the DNC going to do about the primary votes of Fla and Mich? I can't envision them as not having a say in the Democratic primary.

borak 08 hillary get some sleep your getting old

I don't see why everyone seems to be blaming CNN or other news networks for cutting Hillary's speech. The news networks don't care about allying themselves with a candidate, they want viewership to increase, so cover the more popular event. If that happens to be Obama's, well, what are you going to do? Plus, whether Clinton supporters admit it or not, she's being rude by pretending the Obama states don't exist.

what is this accusation of Obama being arrogant to start his speech in the middle of Hilary's speech?

Sometimes, I get it that not only does Hillary herself turn people of but her supporters as well.

These two people[Obama and Hillary] do not coordinate when they will give their speeches. They schedule them ahead of time. Hillary's speech was scheduled before Obama's but she delayed for an hour so what do you expect the networks to do when Obama starts speaking?

Is it really true that you guys behind Hillary are just full of hate or that you just have no idea of what's going on? No seriously…this scares me!

WI is a blue state. Did not vote in Bush. Clintons won it twice.

Hey New York … it looks like you're going to get your Junior Senator back real soon along with Bill and his legacy … what ever that is!

Where are the Obama supporters brains? Just where & how could he accomplish "his promises?" How is he going to pay for all that? His health care policy won't work- more people will be without. The money for the war was borrowed from China?
He's just another : promise them anything but give them Arpege kind of guy. He's using the images of dead people(King & Kennedy) to further his own cause- he's an opportunist in disguise caught up in his own policies…Be Careful, America !!

It's one thing to not congratulate the opponents that beat her, it's quite another to not recognize the hundreds of thousands of voters that went out in single digit temps to vote for her

OBAMA is going to beat mccain hands down.
And OBAMA will make America Proud again.
So people vote for the movement(change and yes will can).

I did not vote for Bush. I could see the evangelical uprise
over him. Pat Robertson on national T.V. Anyone that voted
for Bush was a fool. I was not for the War. I love our troops.
I voted for Kerry and REALLY, HE Won!!!!!!!!!!!Right Carl Rove.

Poor little democrats. Neither will defeat McCain! Obama ands Hillary support the slaughter of the Unborn and socialism. Neither Obama nor Hillary are worthy to sit in the White House because of TWO main ingredient…………CHARACTER and DIGNITY!

For those of you supporting Hillary, I just don't get it. What has she done besides ride on her husbands coat tails to get elected as a Senator to new York for two terms, back track on a vote for the war and then all she cares about is beating republicans in November. As I am sure that she has done some things but she is similar to our current president in the sense that he did squat before being elected to governor of TX and then got elected to the Presidency because his first and last name matched that of a previous President. Lets not repeat ourselves people and potentially elect the Democratic version of George Bush. Vote for someone that actually cares about moving our country forward so that it is in a better place 4 or 8 years from now for the next generation to work with.

So what!

so much for freedom of speech………………

I am just so disappoited at the reaction od the Clintons after each lost. running away from SC refusing to comment about the disaster in Alabama because she lost same day….She is running a campaign of bitterness with is not good for America. i am a pro Obama analyst and i am so shocked she did it again tonight. Though she lost in Wisconsin some people still voted for her and they deserve thanks like all other states where she lost. If that is the kind of President she is going to be then we need a Change..

Poor and very naive Young Americans !!!!!!
Open your brain and think !!!!!! before making any decision or comment !!!!!!
Obama is the one who won't have any power and speaches won't halp to make the changes !!!!!!!
Please, be realistic !!!!!
Only experienced, hard working, smart person could change today's
America !!!!!

HILLARY IS THE PERSON, WHO WILL DO CHANGES !!!!!!!!!!!
Strong women is needed !!!!! She has a power !!!!!!! more then Obama !!!!
ALL votes for HILLARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop watching CNN - they can't get it right. CLINTON 08.

CHANGE - isn't that what CNN likes so much? I am CHANGING to a different NETWORK. ONE THAT TRULY IS INDEPENDENT.

All I have to say is unacceptable.. 45% people of WI standed for you, Clinton - and you haven't even thanked them… No, thank you… Obama all way

It's truly sad the partisan politics that CNN is playing. I originally supported Hillary and ended up voting for Obama. Yes, he is inspiring but as I am taking a closer look, he and his campaign dismisses any criticism of him and has nothing but excuses. Everyone in the media is afraid to touch him. But CNN has really overstepped their bounds and I have no respect for them. I saw Hillary in Boston and she is really very smart and quite specific. I'll vote for McCain unless the media stops determining who the candidate will be. The media will either build you up or tear you down. We see it with the Hollywood stars. It really is a disgrace. In fact, the media stands in the way of true democracy.

Clinton delayed her speech 1 hour. Of course she will be cut. Who wants to listen to a loser.

Now the losers are pointing to the refs and claiming they are calling all the plays in the other man's favor. Hillary was as an hour late in giving her speech. Don't expect everyone to accomodate her.

I will be honest. If she was a woman — and not Hillary– I'd be much more likely to vote for her. Let a woman who has not rode her husband's coattails and expect the DNC to fall in line just because she wants them to.

CNN also reported so-called plagiarism on Obama's part. So those of you complaining that CNN is biased — stop posting on a CNN blog and make your own.

Call it Pity Party for Clinton. Awwwwww.

Of course Hillary hasn't mentioned anything about losing. At best, she is in denial. I am a one-time Clinton supporter, however I don't think Hillary has used her true wits to construct a message that resonates with people instead of polls. Her ego is in the way and she isn't willing to admit that she has relied on 'old-boy' politics when the nation is asking for something new. If she gets the nomination I'll vote for her, however reluctantly. But it will be a vote against McCain and not for Clinton. She should bow out now, be gracious, and really support the momentum that Obama is creating. If she did that, I would have unending respect for her.

Also, the more the media talks up one candidate and counts the other out, the more the American pubic is going to believe it. With this said, this causes more and more people who cannot think for themselves to go out and vote that way, favoring the media's favorite. Sad.

Hamby, you don't control the candidates timetables, they control their own. HIllary will congratulate Obama for his Wisconsin win. Will Obama congratulate Hillary for her Washington primary win tonight?

Part of being able to take a "political" punch is thanking the crowd that came to watch you fight. In all her years of experience, Hillary hasn't learned social graces. It's a shame.
Oh, and if you don't like CNN pointing out a flaw in your candidate, go to the New York Times, they speak highly of her there.

i commented twice on this blog ……neither was published….
guess they didnt agree with you

What's wrong with my fellow Obama supporters? Why do some of us take such great pleasure in bashing Sen. Clinton? It's disheartening to see that we have bought into the media's hate for her (and the Clintons). Come on, grow up - Sen. Clinton deserves our respect. I support Sen. Obama, but I will not say a hurtful word against the Clintons.

Hillary, the is the beginning of the end of your campaign…AND you konw that! So, you better give up now or tomorrow will be too late…politically speaking…………………………………..

way to go BO!!! Is this the start of the positive change that you are talking about….starting your speech before your opponent had finished? Shame on the media for actually cutting away. If this isn't the same old same old. The arrogance is starting to show, bro. Better hold it in check before the general election. true colors, true colors.

History will repeat. Poor Dumbcrats doing again.Independent's please save our country.

Hi
Queen Clinton speaks again in her silence
"Let them eat cake then off with their heads".

Best
Joe

She is trying to steal delegates as we write of another Obama victory.

King Clinton's legacy is waning even after his reign .

What to think of the Clintons now?

Quit whining for Hillary. If you wanted to see her complete speech you could have tuned to CSPAN or other Public Access Channel or Radio.

Fact is, she stinks as a public speaker and she isn't saying anything new. As far as experience, she doesn't have much as an elected and accountable public servant. So stop with that angle.

And finally, who cares if she didn't acknowledge Obama's sweeping victories? Why should she? Like her husband, she can tell the truth, much less face it.

I might have to return to the Dem party, it seems they are the only ones fighting for the privilege of running this country.

Your true colors tend to be exposed when things are not going your way. Hilary is a poor sport!
So what he started his speech in Texas when she was doing hers in Ohio. Its very apparent that the people of this country want to hear what Obama has to say over Clinton and that's why the media cut her speech short to show his!

For all the sore loser Hillary supporters who threaten to leave the party just because …GULP…their candidate keeps losing the vote…GOOD! Get out.

We are glad to see you go. We don't need (nor want) anyone with such blind allegiance. We saw what that got the Republican party (and everyone else) over the last 7 years. It is the independents and the crossovers that are finally making their voice heard. And if you are too "old school" to recognize this country needs a break from "politics as usual" - then you deserve what you get…to be left in the dust with the far right wackos.

as response to "Voted for Hillary in WI"
Wisconsin has never voted for George W. Bush

If you can't give a speech that keeps people awake to listen to be inclinded to listen to your policies then what good is your words Hillary!

I think it's sad that once again the media jumps to favor whoever seems to be ahead at the moment. We couldn't hear what Hillary was trying to say because of the cut off.
Also, I agree with another comment where Obama did not get this trashed when he was behind! Now that Hillary is (and is only slightly!) behind, they completely put her down and act like she is out of the race!
Let's just be real, the media and the general pubic still feel so inadequate and weak that they still feel more comfortable with a MAN than a WOMAN in the White House. That goes past the color barrier, but resides within the majority of people that still believe through stereotype that men are the more effective leaders.
But watch out people, Hillary is by now means out, and keep dreaming if you think Obama will lead the country to unity. It's not like he is making his speeches or coming up with his own campaign ideas. Change and hope- like he says so repeatedly ( which he knows is key to the remembering), are "just words" he is using to get hopeful Americans who are looking for ANYONE different from the norm, to side with him to get his glory as the first African American presidential candidate. Wait and see folks, it's not over 'til it's over.

the most telling moment of tonight's election coverage on another network was when wisconsin governor doyle, an obama supporter mentioned that the last time he could remember such great enthusiasm in wisconsin for a candidate was perhaps when mcgovern ran. does anyone remember what happened to mcgovern in the general election? he lost by a landslide.

of course, the newscaster didn't mention the landslide loss.

oh, well.

hillary in '08

Good riddance sea-hag!

Even the democrats can see what a lying, disingenuous, deceitful, bag of wind "she who shall not be named" really is.

Pack it up and go home–to Arkansas, not NY.

Whether she congratulates B. Obama or not, is insignificant. Like most candidates when they have been formally projected as the winner, he came out to speak to the over 20,000 people that braved the frigid tremperatures and snow to vote for him and who had waited to hear him speak. I made a point to watch her speech before his came on and then again in its entirety after his speech. I heard everything she had to say. I do think it was rather strange though, that she didn't even acknowledge the voters of Wisconsin who took the time and effort to vote for her.

I wonder if all the Republican crossovers will vote Democratic in November.

Anyone who doesn't know who said that statement is an ignoramus and was probably home schooled by fundamentalists.

Here are some statements.
"Ask not what your country will do for you…" I don't even have to finish it for you. You also know who said it.
"We have nothing to fear…"
"I have a dream."

So, Am I a plagiarist or am I simply not insulting your intelligence by stating the obvious?

And Hillary was so full of herself that she started her speech an hour after it was supposed to begin! She knew Obama would be coming on and still put hers off, she gets what she deserves, Steve.

Obama is not hyped, the people want Obama and not more of the same! Why cant you HRC supporters get this concept?

Clinton was my vote at first, then I changed to Obama the reason I changed my mind is she does not have sincerity, she lacks depth and cares about nothing other then winning at any cost.When she speaks it is dead,. no feeling ,no gusto, no excitement, just blah!

Honestly, if Hillary wanted her speech covered in its entirety, then she should have started it at or around 8:30, it's scheduled time. She delayed for an hour, and then started it. Should Obama delay his speech simply because Hillary delayed hers? If so, why? He was merely proceeding on schedule.

what WILL you do when you don't have her to pick on anymore? Once again, you show that you are the bottom feeders of journalism.

Shame on CNN for cutting Hillary off.
CNN for Obama! Way to go CNN! When will you be endorsing Obama?

I will be voting for Hillary, if I can't, it will be McCain for me.

Hillary '08

I think for all the negative and baseless campaign attack she deserves to be prempted.

Hey, CNN,
Tonight, Its just about the story of the day not the true election.
Remember the big deal you made about Washington last week? Obama destined to cream Hillary. Now Hillary is leading. But that state apparently won't be as big a deal as Wisconsin, because that was last weeks story. This will be ignored, most likely because it is close.

Again, media hype.

I'm very frustrated, with Obama, the coverage of CNN. Your headline is all negative for Hillary. It's outrageous you're letting Obama get away with talking over Hillary's speech. It was arogant and rude. Why don't you cover that part in your coverage. And what's up with you calling an election with just exit polls and 1% of the vote. Let the people vote and report that.

For all of you writing off Hillary - she's less than 70 delegates behind with 3 big states to go. (Which, by the way, are the type of states Hillary wins!) And Obama is more than 700 delegates short for the nomination.

Neither candidate can get enough delegates over the next few primaries to cinch the nomination. It probably will come down to the convention - which it should if they are still this close.

And for those of you Hillary-haters out there - Hillary is still getting the "older women" vote - and they happen to be the biggest voting bloc within the Democratic Party.

She may be down - but she's not out.

They cut to the winner. that is it. CNN cut to the winner.

Hillary will never have this single white 50 yr old woman's vote. She is rude and presumptuous beyond belief. A politician that doesn't congratulate the winner? What is wrong with her?

Hillary timed her speech haughtily thinking the news would follow her. Since when does the news follow the loser first? She is an idiot

CNN — your honeymoon with Obama is almost over. When she wins her victory will be sweet. She will not only have defeated Obama but the media too.

ONCE AGAIN YOU REPORTED WRONG…

Again we democrats are doing the worst thing for our party and will let the media and the Repugs decide our election. I hope that all of you who are gloating now don't cry foul after the general election when Obama loses to McCain. I live in AZ and have seen the stuff this man is willing to do. I believe in hope as much as the next person. but when you are up against the most corrupt group of people on the planet you have to be able to fight. They have set you all up. If they can steal two elections they can affect the outcome of a race by manipulation of the MSM so people vote for the easy mark.
Too bad you Obama supporters can not see it. I don't look forward to the fall.

Hillary has NOTHING the American people want to hear any way.

I am proud o be an Amercian and very proud, unlike Obama's wife!!! She is proud of her husband because he has come this far, and was never proud to be an American till today!

No wonder Hillary is so tired on the campaign trail - she's been working the night shift!

She's in for a rude awakening in Texas. As a life-long Republican voter in Texas, I get to vote in the Democrat's primary for Obama!

I'll take a fresh start and even just 1 oz of integrity any day!

She's done. The harder she fights, the more petty she gets. The best thing she can do for her country now is stop, congratulate Obama, and accept his offer for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

That's it! CNN has picked their guy and is now cramming him down our throats! The only way you have a vioce in America is if you own a Cable News Network! I was a life-long CNN watcher since it took off in the early days. Tonight, I switch the channel!

Obama has gone beyond expectations and he really represents a positive change. Clinton and McCain are more of the same, more of the past. We as Americans need to be aware that the situation we are going through needs to change and we will have to fight together with our leader to make everything happen. Let's do this and God bless America!!

CNN has the temerity to cut off Hillary Clinton' s speech in Ohio and show Obama's speech in Houston and then turn around and HAVE THE NERVE to accuse Hillary of not congratulating Obama?
Did consider that before cutting her off and switching your coverage to your "preferred candidate"?

CNN, you have lost your credibility during this election season. I like many other people use to have a very high regard for your network but not anymore.

Is it just me, or are other Democrats scared to have to choose between McCain and Obama? We would never hire a CEO without experience so why does it seem my fellow Democrats are doing just that?

Hillary is exceptionally smart, experienced, focused, a clear communicator and has mental toughness. These are qualities I want in a leader!

HILLARY IN 2008!!

After eight years of Bush-Cheney arrogance, greed, and warmongering, I am desperate for a president with not only a unifying vision for America and the world, but one who possesses the grace, intelligence, humility, and heart to lead us forward. Clearly Senator Obama is the only candidate, Democrat or Republican, who
