It's the media, once again, at it's worst. Most obvious, is the absolute lack of information about Obama. Should the next president be a mystery man? How does that happen in a world of 24hr news?! Why don't we know anything about him except he's black- plenty of reporting on that …and well… for that we don't need reporters. Who is this guy? How's his job performance compare to his piers? Authored any bills? Co-authored? In bed with anyone…coal industry? Is he really green? Is he authentic? -have any authentic ideas? (No!) If news is to inform, the media sorely lacks.

This all reminds me of how the media was so hands-off on Bush. We can thank the media 7 yrs of America getting the shaft. If it weren't for Move-on, we wouldn't know a thing about this administrations' law breaking, lying, etc. If the media had done it's job, Bush would not have had the support for war.

So what's next?- the republicans will tell us all about Obama. We'll be saying 'Gee! why didn't the media catch that!' Is it because the media (especially CNN's old man syndrome) hates Clinton so much? it's been attack on everything about Clinton-from hair to which way she looks or sounds, … Clinton was wrong to say shame on Obama. She should have said 'Shame on the media- again"

Once again, we are having to watch a deperate person on the attack of someone trying to run a clean campaign. To use the photos of Obama is Kenya as a smear tactic was so underhanded that it just exemplifies the horrible things she is capable of. Obama was only doing what he should do when in another country. Showing RESPECT to the people of that country. Wait a minute, Hilaray doesn't know what respect is. If so, she would realize that RESPECT is what you show to another country and their culture. WAKE UP WOMEN…don't vote for Hiliary because she is a woman. She is as ruthless as any man I have every known! Former Republican voting for OBAMA!

I think it is so silly that people think its over for Clinton. She really is not very far behind and if the polls are correct in Texas than she has just as much chance as Obama. I agree that CNN is biased (big time). I have been an avid CNN watcher for years and this year they are skewing the facts. If Clinton loses the nomination she will get it in 4 years when she runs again to clean up Obama's mess. This guy is a fresh face and talks the talk, but just wait and see how people feel after 4 years of not much happening. He will not get the job done for us and the hole we need to dig ourselves out of is far too deep for his lack of experience. I will keep my fingers crossed for Clinton and this country but im not holding my breath. If not not 2008 then 2012. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what the media said, I just don't see a single Hillary sign on my way to work, but I have seen more and more Obama signs popping up recently.

This is a conservative neighborhood. If you see signs up, people must feel very strong about their belief.

I'm feeling Obamacalifragilisticexpialidocious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a die hard Republican. But given the choice between McCain or Obama. I will go for Obama. It is time for a change. Do we really want the Clintons in the White House again? Come on Hillary can't even control her own husband, do you think she could control the USA?

Commentng on the sound of Hillary's voice is a blatent form of sexism, yet no one in the media seems to even examine this. It is completed sanctioned in this forum to comment on Hillary's voice. Instead of letting the media and the polls decide this race, how about letting the people decide.

This independent voter, and 5 family members, will vote McCain before we vote Obama.

Clintonistas still don't get it – the more negative she gets, the uglier she looks, the more people pause to think what about what she is really saying, and it doesn't add up
On the other hand, the more people attack Obama, the more people wonder if there might be something worthwhile there, so they listen more carefully to what he is saying and realize that his hopes are theirs, his efforts are what they also could do, this America is the America they want to live in and raise children in.
He's got the beef, he's the real enchilada, he's the hot tamale, he's the red hot chile pepper, he's the rice and beans!
Vote Obama if you want a Texas that belongs in the 21st Century!

One step closer to Obama \ Warren Steed Jeffs '08

The dream ticket is going to be here soon

Let's face it both campaings have gone negative, by Obama sending those mail outs, and all mail outs were view today, it's not the correct information. The media is giving Obama a free ride. Even Saturday Night Live and all major news shows are saying how unbias this election have been. Obama saids, he don't silly games and they all do. He is like all politicians. He also had negative ads in Neveda.

The media wants Obama to win and refuses to say anything negative about the guy. They will pounce all over Hillary and Bill every chance they get. I thought we had made more progress in this great nation of ours, but so far the truth has shown through brightly. It is impossible for Hillary to debate Obama or for Bill to make a speech because if they say boo to Obama then they are racists. That is a bunch of bologna. Bill and Hillary Clinton have fought hard for African-Americans for years and then they get this kind of treatment? When you see African-Americans turning out for Obama in percentages over 90 percent to 10 percent for Hillary it shows that an overwhelming majority of African-Americans are looking at skin color instead of the issues.There is not a 90-10 percent difference in Obama and Hillary on the "issues". Unfortunately it appears that racism still exists today, but it is African-Americans that are doing the majority of it. This country has laughed at and mocked and said almost anything imaginable about the caucasian male, but that is always overlooked. It is widely thought by the majority of African-Americans that it is impossible to discriminate against the caucasian race, but unfortunately it happens constantly. I HAVE THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF RESPECT FOR DR.MARTIN LUTHER KING! He was a great man! In no way though did his dream include reverse discrimination. Like myself, he believed in equality for EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF YOUR SKIN COLOR OR RACE. Hopefully we as a nation will achieve that dream one day. GOD BLESS!

I just want to say that we all need to be thinking of our countries security as a top priority. With that said, who do you really feel the most secure with as our next president ? I would say either Hillary or McCain. They both have much experience to deal with foreign countries. As for Obama, I have nothing against the man but rather questionable about his refusal to say the pledge lat alone his refusal to even place his hand on his chest. This concerns me. It doesn't show his true love of America, rather it shows his lack there of. Think hard before casting your vote. Know who and what you are voting for before making a huge mistake. Think our nations security first because without that , none of the rest of the issues here will even matter.

Debin NY

Well, we calmed Britney down by giving her time with the kids…then HILLARY picks-up where Britney left off! Oh dear, I hope HILLARY doesn't shave her head <:( And someone says HILLARY will be ready "ON DAY ONE"…she can't even run her campaign…and they want to give her THE BOMB!…no way, man!

caucus states attracts activists mainly and they really dont matter as they dont reflect the will of the people according to hrc.well texas happens to be a caucus state so……………………??

gregory davis the comment you make at top are crazy. Hillary is right person for the job. All we hear Obama say is we need change. Please let me know change.

Rationale the comment you make are crazy to. McCain will beat Obama in Nov. All he can do is give a speech.

Tom please don't comment about people who are behide hillary.

Terry For Texas Obama is not ready lead American.

andrew jones please stop crazy talk. You hate hillary becuase of Bill.

People pay attention to the issues, not the actual vote tally til it's over.

Ugh! Guess Cowboy hats are larger than brains!

Go Hillary!

This is so surprising, wake up people.

"Change, Change… Change" more like Blah! Blah! Blah

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MANY STATES JOHN EDWARDS WON AND WHY IS HIS ENDORCEMENT SO IMPORTANT? EDWARDS PLEASE ENDORCE HILLARY…….SHE NEEDS IT. BUT IT WONT HELP.

Go, go, go Hillary!!! Don't give up !!!

Can't believe how close this is.. but question havent they both especially Hillary hurt the Democratic Party, she's loaded McCain's gun with bullets already against Obama if he wins March 4.. No Doubt he'll use her comments against him, hopefully she joins him or he joins her once this is resolved

Yes, Go OBAMA, no matter what the say and the pictures they show I see a superhero in you that will crash all US enemies and will cast a spell that will make us live hapilly ever after. I dont care if you are a closet muslim or not I just need to believe you are a superhero, just as in the movies.
Wake up time!!!
No he is not superhero he is not the reincarnation of JFK. Yes its a normal gesture for presidents and first ladies to wear cotumes from other countries, but Hillary was a first lady, Obama is just the illusion of a superhero for small minded americans. If you dont wake up by yourselves the future will.

Like trying to hold back the tide Hillary

Obama 08

Day 1: "It is an honor ……"
Day 3: Shame on you…, meet me in Ohio."
Day 4: Sarcasm…

Is this a multiple personality issue or a hormonal inbalance issue?
Whatever it is, we need a stable Commander in Chief. Not someone who would push the red nuclear button when she is 'upset'

Sen Obama sure is cool under pressure.

I really have had it with Sen Clinton.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all? Every time Hillary asks the answer is always……"OBAMA." Hillary runs around poisening more apples and darts, setting nets and traps and waits for Barack to take a bite.

Its getting ugly Hillary, and you started the slinging from the start (she can dish it out but she can't take it.
GO Barack!!

I hope that Texas doesn't fall for a guy with about as many skills as Mr. W himself. He has no plan and no actually ability to make change. Anybody can list things that need to be fixed but who can actually fix them?

COOCH NUMBER ONE, LEARN HOW TO SPELL GRANDDAUGHTER. AND I'M SURE YOUR A LEGEND IN YOUR OWN MIND.

Where is this myth originating that Hillary's speeches have all the substance while Obama's have little substance? Every single day I devote several hours to the news and all I get from Hillary are tears, self flattery and angry tirades. I am trying to picture this personality dealing in world politics….get the HOOK! Even as first lady she was tolerable at best! How soon some of us seem to have forgotten….

I strongly hope Obama take Texas bye some margin so Clinton can drop out gracefully.

Hillary, Dale Carneige is looking for a few more students and it looks like you'll have time to attend when you loose.

Go Barack!!

DNC screwed this up starting with FL and MI. Next, the let the republican media propt up a JR Senator to only be taking out in the General election. So much for Superdelegates…
Clinton/obama is the only ticket left.
Obama alone, loses
Clinton alone, may win in a close race with McCain.
Most of Obama voters will migrate back to Hillary Clinton regardless what the press says.

If Obama wins nomination. I will vote for Mccain.

I am registered democrat

Day 1: "It is an honor .."
Day 3: Shame on you…, meat me in Ohio."
Day 4: Sarcasm…

Is this a multiple personality issue or a hormonal inbalance issue?
Whatever it is, we need a stable Commander in Chief. Not someone who would push the red nuclear button when she is 'upset'

Sen Obama sure is cool under pressure.

I really have had it with Sen Clinton.

Texas and Ohio: it is your chance to save the country. Obama is
not ready, and his foreign policy positions are dangerous.
Please do not put the power in his hands. If we do not elect Hillary for President, one day our children will look back on this election as the beginning of the end for America as the free world's leader. Can you say third world country? This is not a popularity youth contest: we are voters, not fans. Please VOTE FOR A BRILLIANT LEADER: HILLARY CLINTON.

CNN you are a disgrace in the way you are manipulating information.
Hillary is going to win in spite of your efforts.

Los Hispanos votan por Hillary.

Viva Hillay!

Would not be the first time CNN doesn't publish this.

Hillary is still the best one for the job ! Go Hillary ! You are my hero !!!! Weeeeeeeeeeee !!!!

Do Obama followers really know his stand on issues other than he wants "change". Change to what and how? (Or do they just want to reap the benefits of the taxes paid by America's "silent majority"?????)
I bet CNN will not print this but will print the Obama supporters' comments.

texas has a large number of hispanics voters and once again we will make a difference…..hillary will win texas and then ohio.
GO HILLARY YOU ARE OUR HOPE

It may be tied for now but probably not for long.

Has anyone else noticed all the headlines about Hillary "lashing out" at the press, at Obama, at anyone she can hang one shred of blame on?

It won't be long before Hillary is lashing out at her own campaign staff – if she hasn't already.

Bill better duck. I'm sure he will be in the line of fire soon after.

Do we need or want this kind of person in the White House? I don't think so.

WE SHOULD START A CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE MEDIA FOR NOT REPORTING THE TRUTH. THEY HAVE BEEN AGAINST HILLARY THE WHOLE TIME.

I HAVE TWO SUGGESTIONS FOR ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS:

1. BOYCOTT THE MEDIA. MAKE SIGNS IN PROTEST.

2. IF HILLARY DOES NOT WIN THE NOMINATION FORGET ABOUT BEING TRUE DEMOCRATICS. DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA , TURN YOUR HEAD. MAYBE START A WRITE IN CAMPAIGN FOR HILLARY. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS MY DREAM. IT'S TIME WE TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY.

CNN you need to start reporting and stop spinning! I dont need you to tell me who to vote for. All I expect from you and what I should be getting from you is real journalism. Shame on you CNN for being bias! For not doing your job! For thinking you have enough power to actually pick a president for the people of the United States. I have not decided who I am going to vote for yet, but I do know it will not be based on ANY information I get from you.

Hey Texans and Ohioans… PLEASE END this chirade now. Someone who was billed as 'inevitable' is now acting like a spoiled child and the majority of educated, responsible citizens are sick of it. REMEMBER, THIS IS A DEMOCRACY, NOT AN OLIGARCHY… NO MORE DYNASTIES !!

OBAMA '08

Now the question is whether Hillary can have enough dignity and moral fibre to gracefully bow out. Many would expect, including the media, that she would not. Many expect that she will continue to lie, manipulate, mudslinging, hiss , scream, mock, cry, smear, etc.

Hey Hillary,

BUH-BYE!

The "Clinton Empire" is not able to offer a DIPLOMATIC UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hilarry isnot consistent. she is always changing what she says. today she is honored to be with obama tomorrow she is ashamed of him. which one are we to believe. i hope every one can see her true nature. she can't be a good president. we don't even know if she is going to do all the things she said she would do because she is so inconsistent.

CNN is the only poll that has Obama ahead of Clinton in Texas

Also, I would like the Hillary supporters to list actual examples when Obama attack Hillary. Not just broad statements or inneundos, actual attacks on her.

I have voted Democratic for the last 46 years. If Hillery is the nominee I will vote for her, if she is not I will vote for McCain. This country does not need another learn as you go President. We've already had seven years of that.

For all the people who believes "experience" is so important:

George W. Bush was surrounded by people with tons of experience and look at what happened.

Abraham Lincoln served one term in Congress before becoming President. George Washington did not serve political office prior to becoming the first president.

I am not saying experience does not matter, it is just not an indicator of greatness.

Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Let's Rock the House! It's time to seal the deal, and get started on the Presidency. I've done my part, now it's your turn. Say it LOUD! YES WE CAN! OBAMA'08!

Why is everyone blaming the media? Voters are suppose to be smart
enough to listen to the candidates and then decide for themselves who
is the best candidate. I doubt if anyone has decided on a candidate based on media coverage alone. Don't insult voters intelligence. Most
voters don't like to be told what they are thinking and why.
OBAMA 08.

Can't wait to see the knockout punch to Hillary Campaigne on March 4th. Four more straight wins for OBAMA!!!

Nope, Florida is not behind her, not anymore; we have learned the truth.
Angela Please support the senator from Illinois, He is the one!!!

AJ, if you cannot see Obama is the one, Go and vote for McCain and you'll be a loser just as he is…………………….Hillary talks sweet words but she knows most her words are lies; she only talks, make false promises to pick up votes and when she realizes she's losing she invites tears to the game. Enough is enough Hillary…it's time to say good bye, you just don't deserve the credits you 're longing for!!! Stop playing dirty to protect your senate seat next term!! I used to love you, you used to be my first choice and now it's hard to say………

I would like for the news media to quit nitpicking the Clintons on everything they say , when you can't even get information on Obama's wife I don't think its the news reporters can't get a background on Obama's wife I think they are just playing favorites .They do not want the Clintons to have a chance in a million to win . Michelle Obama has been surfaced Picked for information . It is as if she shouldn't have to talk about anything beyond her schooling or reveal anything she doesn't want to etc. Obama is much like Bush . If he has a written speech he will speak with confidence if he doesn't he is stammering as if he is not real sure of himself . I hope people wake up and realize this man is not the person we need for president . We do not need to train someone for the position of president ,we need someone who knows the ropes and like it or not that is Hillary! GO Hillary!!

tne big difference between california and texas.is 11 wins.and 90% blakcs,56% white men.35 %latino.ect.it's over with.obama 08

way to go hillary we will be with you to the end. and if you lose we latinos will vote for mcain and that thing that mr OBAMA call movement will be vanished| ha! ha!

I've noticed that the Clinton supporters can't spell very well…sorry negative

I endorse Hillary all the way.. I only Hope and Pray that he endorses her. She is the right person for our failing economy. All this hoopla for Obama is nothing more then Hoopla. He has not given any concrete plan for what he wans to do. I lost family members on 9/11 and she was there for all of us and I plan on being there for her.

JOHN EDWARDS PLEASE ENDORSE HILLARY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. AND DONT LET THE HYPE GET IN THE WAY.

WE LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Want my Vote to count in Michigan …..

HILLARY 08″

i know when this is all over and done with.those who din't vote obama, is gonna regret not being a part of history.

If anyone in America believes that Hillary Clinton can effectively run this country without her Bill Clinton we are fooling ourselves, if it wasn't for her husband being president she would not be consider for a democratic nomination for this countries presidency she is riding on her husband legacy and not to mention his double taking which led Americans to believe in false hope such as the NAFT trade agreement.

Hillary rocks! (I just read) watch out for your children in the white house! if you though he was a loose canon! she drove he! who knows WHAT pleases her?

go anarchy and chaos.. isn't this foretold in the Bible!

swindlers from Arkansas shall LEAD THIS COUNTRY!

Are you Obama supporters BLIND? They are TIED! meaning just as many people prefer her and find her the qualified candidate and others have yet to cast their ballots. How do you have such a chip? Such arrogance? becasue he won Alaska? Iowa? and his home state? Pay attention to the issues, not the actual vote tally til it's over.

First of all I am an Obama supporter and I think the press should be harder on him, so that he can warm up for the Republicans.

Secondly, Hillary is upset because she never expected to have to run this hard. She thought America was gong to hand her the nomination on a silver platter, or the Lincoln platter (if she returns the WH china).

She is losing this election because her husband went negative, and she followed. But kudos to Hill, now the voters get to see the "real" First Lady. When things don't go her way, she becomes a tyrant. Now I believe all those stories of her ranting and raving behing the scenes.

I don't want "Mother America" telling me what's best for me. If she had just run a normal decent campaign, she might be ahead right now.

I don't think she has any more experience than Barack, and so I have to go by their character. Barack wins hands down.

Sorry Hill, when it comes to integrity–you need a crash course in morality. Barack is winning because his mother taught him the difference between right and wrong.

To America, Barack will disappoint us at some point, because he is only human, and he will not be able to please every American on every subject. The difference is, he won't lie about his decisions.

They have a thing called equal time for candidates. I for one think that it is time we have a equal undiscriminating portrayal. You can't go negative on someone in everything that they do. It seems if Hillary were to walk on water, the media would have the headline "Hillary barely staying above water in the race for the White House". Does this sound fair. Should read "Hillary believed to be real life miracle worker". But of course the former is what we are reading. I hope the media can recognize thier bias and start reporting the facts rather than the fiction.

Get Real Folks no one should drop out. IT'S 5 MONTHS TILL THE CONVENTION. Where we, the porple will pick our noiminee.

I meant to say Somali garb

35 yrs experience? Hillary trying to claim the accomplishments of her husband as president and governor is disingenious at best. Greeting foreign nationals as First Lady hardly translates to foreign policy experience. And her one attempt at true policy with healthcare reform was a total and complete disaster. You want specifics? Go to barackobama.com, click on issues and if you can read you'll understand exactly where he stands. Saying he is only about speeches is characteristic of an irresponsible citizen not willing to make an informed decision. If you don't support him for another reason, that's fine, but not being "specific" does not hold water for anybody with reading comprehension skills. Division is over. Politics as usual is over. Hillary is toast. It's time for the Unites States of America to live up to its name.

Once again, Hillary is desperate for acceptance. Don't be fooled by her so called good faith. One day she's saying , " I am honored to be sitting next to Barack Obama". The next day she's criticizing his form of campaigning. It's over Hillary, pack your bags and go home! People are finnally realizing who you realy are.

AR February 25th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Hillary mocks Obama's eloquence (reminded me of school days), sends a photo of him in a Muslim costume to the media (can anybody think of more than one motivation?), and throws a mock tirade about pamphlets that have been out for weeks, and in essence since Iowa. All bluster, pretense and false bravado. Never mind Texas or Ohio, I don’t understand why anyone is still voting for her.

It's funny you should say that because it was actually kenyan tribal dress. Regardless of whether that picture originated in the Clinton Camp it has been obama supporters that are attaching all the negative connotation to it. There are many pictures of Hillary and Chelsea in the native dress of places they are visiting.
Stay strong hillary!

OK Clinton supporters, here's your chance to make a difference. I have a vote in the PA Democratic primary, and $2K to donate to either Obama or Clinton. All I need are some credible answers to the following questions in order to change my mind from leaning toward Obama to fully supporting Clinton:

1) Why is she a senator from NY? Her husband was governor of Arkansas, and she lived in DC from 92-00, so why NY? When did she actually live in NY prior to becoming a senator "from" NY?

2) What exactly did either Clinton ever do for minorities that makes them such a "friend" to either Latinos or African-Americans? She touts her work in TX signing up Latino voters in 72, but that was in support of a caucasian candidate, so what about that deserves merit?

3) Why is it a de-facto premise that we need universal health care? It seems to me that she created a non-issue upon which to run. Sure, we need lower costs, but isn't it if true that if there were an American entitlement to own a car, we'd all be driving Yugos – as can be seen with the British socialized health care system. What's different about Clinton's plan that will not ultimately result in a lowest-common denominator approach to health care?

Perhaps one of the bloggers who are so knowledgeable and certain that Ms. Clinton's the right choice will answer – I promise to listen and will change my mind-set from negative to positive about her if anyone can provide credible answers to the above questions.

Thank you.

Hillary is the 99th woman since 1872 running for a Presidential post. She could of been the "ONE" ; however, her lack of good judgement when it comes to selecting a team, or strategy is about a grade "F". She did not get this upset when Bill had affairs as governor and the President of the U.S, nor with all the illegal deals that kept coming under investigation with her signature on them,

One of our daughters will be the "ONE", we do not have to settle for Hillary.

Texas for Hillary Go Hillary!!

"Shame on you, Hilary and your Campaign Communications Director Howard Wolfson." Hilary´s campaign has got to a "dead end" and now is time for using dirty tactics … but that is like shooting on her own foot. Americans have made their choice, we need a change in Washington. Enough with old game of lobbyist. By the way, most of Hilary money has come from the most powerful lobbyist in American. That to me is a conflict of interest.

All you who support Sen. Obama better be prepared for the long haul if he gets the nomination. Do you think the Republican machine is going to go away quietly? This campaign has only begun. Rabid support now doesn't guarantee a win for the Democrats in November. Stop being sheep and understand our work for Obama has only started… you better be around in the fall because it isn't going to be a cakewalk. …and if he loses to McCain? Then what are you going to do and who will you blame then?

Wake up people…

I hope Texas votes in favor of Obama and delivers more delegates to him.

The polls are manipulative. There is a +/- 4% margin of error, so lets say 8% error. 10% of people are undecided and about 10% say they can change their minds before next week. So a total of 28% can change. So it can go either way. Clinton is the favorite to "win" the state and lose to the total number of delegates. She needs to win by large margins (20% plus) to stay alive.

Remember the polls can be misleading. They showed Senator Obama ahead by only four points in Wisconsin and trounced Hillary. He may be ahead in Texas 12 to 15 points. Just thought that I would point that out, since others keep claiming that the polls being off would only favor Hillary. They did not in Wisconsin, and Senator Obama is the proven closer, where as Hillery is the proven folder.

By now it is obvious that Americans are motivated to vote for change in this upcoming national election. America cannot stand any more of this radical right wing politics and we will vote for the Democratic party for change . I as an Independent cannot wait till November to see John McCain get whipped in a Landslide. Now it is time for Hillary to get out of this race and support the vote of the majority of the voters . And that is Barack Obama. Go Barack Obama because America needs you.

you jealous women supporting Obama Osama Bin Laden shame on you. This would have been your time for a woman president but your being jealous would not allow you SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary 2008

I will be glad when March 4 comes and goes.

If Hillary loses that day, I become a Ralph Nader Democrat.

I will never vote for the unvetted Obama.

Just something to note. Do you think it is a lot easier to oppose something, lead a rally and speak out without responsibility. Ok, thats a little general, but supporting a vote to invade Iraq, based on the given information – when you know that any mistake would cost the country dearly – should be a greater decision than just going out and opposing it – well given that you did not even have a vote and you were just throwing in your 2 cents.

Well, lets say that was past – how do you propose to correct it. Well, not really any proposals coming out there, are they? Its easy to be an opposing voice than to be a constructive one. Well, I hope whoever gets into the WH, I hope its not someone who does not acknowledge that the war is going wrong, gets making amends and give up their negative/opposing mentality. This should apply to all the dems, since they are the oppositon till now and should stop thinking like one, should they win. To much time in the opposition makes you dull.

And, please grow up and stop calling someone fat, or ugly, or the worst … If you should, may be you should hit the beauty pageants. And also, what is with this "she should resign" blurb. Its a race, and you go till the end or until you feel you cant win anymore. The race is still close, and mind you I have been hearing these "stand down calls for some time now. May be you are just afraid of the 19-0h N0 jinx!

Turn out the lights, the party's over.
They say that all good things must end.
Let's call it a night, the party's over.
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again. – Willie Nelson

" If he wins the nomination I will vote for McCain and republicans for the first time in my life." That is what Rahul said and likewise for other Hillary Supporters. Well, so am I and there is not way I'll let a naother "Bush" administration rule this country. Are you not true Democrats and will while like children if our candidate does not succeed the nomination? When I keep seeing these tactics, it makes me want quit this campaign.

YES of course you CAN – this is America for God's sake ( at least the parts China's not holding the paper on). But Pleeeze don't.

As I recall, you and a few chads voted Hope over Experience in 2000 and saddled the world with George Bush Sr's son?!

But in the greatest triumph of Hope over Eperience it's been my misfortune to watch, in 2004 you actually re-elected the Dubya!!

Don't get swept away this time by Style dressed up as Hope instead of the Substantive Experience we sorely need for rebuilding the US. Yes, I'll be voting by absentee ballot.

I sincerely hope all of you Clinton supporters DO leave the demcoratic party for the Republican party.

Even if that makes Obama lose the national election, at least we will start crafting a party of sane, educated people in national politics. As it stand, the base of each party are like three year olds watching a toy commercial, not to mention absolutely NO clue about politics, and views that are well beyond the thresh-hold of delusionality.

Internet generation independents / educated / rational people will finally take over the Democratic party. McCain can come to, so he can stop pandering to the delusional religious right, and speak his mind. Obama / McCain 08

Hillary, you got my vote!

A meaningless exercise in the reddest of red states. Florida and Michigan have a better chance to go blue in November, but who's counting?

AJ- The comment you left towards the beginning of this post was absolutely stupid. This is what you are saying. If my candidate doesn't win then lets vote for the other guy because the other guy beat my candidate. Doesn't that sound similar to a child. I mean wake up man you are basing your future and your children's future (if you have any and i hope to god you don't) on a childish and super immature feeling on resentment. Get over it and stop acting like a 5 year old. This is one of the reasons why America is like it is. A true man would swallow his pride but i don't know if the "true man" really exists anymore.

CNN stop lying to A merican people,mostly to people of Texas.

CNNs poll in California showed a dead heat (tied) Hillary won by 10 points.

Stop lying to to American people CNN ,you have bunch of alcholics who do your polling.

Which Hillary will show up tomorrow at the debate?? Too many changeovers…doovers…changed tactis…accusations…temper tantrums..

Obama was way down in Cali by double digits and that stayed true to form.

All I see here posting is paid bloggers by all the campaigns. Most of these people aren't real either way.

Another nice tactic.

As I read these comments I ask myself, did some of these people even go to school? My 2 year old Grandduaghter has a better grasp on the English language than people writing in like they know what they are talking about.

Lou dobbs

you are the only one who talks about the real issues notb like you coleagues on cnn22. Neither one of the dems are really talking about issues that are on the minds of america. real health care for all.They are just trying to fake us out. I am turning indipendant after 60 years of dems.

You rock HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!
Keep the faith. Florida is behind you all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You all should look up the article titled
Bamboozling the American electorate again

Our family received a call from some polling agency. They asked several questions which of course the main one including who would I vote for as president? I caught myself as I was just about to say Obama, change my response to Hillary Clinton. My family which consists of 4 voters this year are all voting Obama, I am sure there is a lot who are silent Obama supporters. Personally I can't stand Hillary, I don't understand why she is self-destructing? I thought she was doing fine just by sticking to what her plans are for the American people. Word of caution to Obama, be prepared for the debate it my gut tells me it is going to be ugly

Many posters state that if their candidate does not win, they will abandon the party and vote for the other team. When I see arguments like this I laugh, that is like taking your basketball home because you didn't win. The disturbing part of all this is that when we establish a permanent Military presence in Iraq, and Iran, under McCain, and many American's lose their homes and jobs. Many of these same posters will rail against John McCain and how could America not see what was going to happen. But they will need to look no further than the mirror because their fanaticism for one candidate caused them to take their eyes off the prize.

Just want to let you know that I DO appreciate your comment. I voted for Sen.Obama in our state & hope that he will win a nomination. However, if Sen.Clinton is a nominee, I wouldn't hesitate to vote for her. Too many issues are at stake to play this childish game of "I'm voting for McCain if my candidate doesn't win" BS from so called "True Dem".

Hillary has little record of public service. She was a corporate lawyer. Then she was First Lady for some years. Bill threw her the health care issue which was a total failure. For Hillary to speak of 35 years of service is a fabrication. She has less than Obama with only a few years in the senate where she showed no leadership and enabled Bush in his disastrous foreign policy debacle. Her mismanagement of her campaign is another example of her incompetence.
The curtain is going down on you Hillary.
Vote for Obama!

Hillary 08!!!! If Obama wins the nomination, John McCain will rip him apart. To all the states from March 4th and onward , you need to wise up and help Hillary win out the remaining elections. She is the only one who can take on McCain and win the Whitehouse in November. Stop listening to feel good speeches and wise up to action with experience because Hillary Clinton is the one. Go HILLARY 08!!!!

THE "SO-CALLED" TIE (that the In-The-Tank-Media) WANTS TO GIVE OBAMA

will be broken….

WHEN SENATOR CLINTON WINS

La Nuestra, Hillary 2008 – VIVA TEXAS !

I AM SO TIRED OF THIS , ONE MINUTE HILLARY IS THIS WAY , THE NEXT SHE IS THAT WAY, THE NEXT SHE IS CONFUSED!!!!! I THINK THAT HILLARY IS BI-POLAR, AND IF SHE IS NOT THEN THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN UP WITH FOR THE WAY SHE GOES ABOUT HER SELF IS THAT SHE IS JUST A PUPPET ON A STRING, A STRING THAT EVEN HER OWN CAMP CANT DECIDE WHICH WAY TO PULL THEM!!! HILLARY CAN I GET A TRY???

Obama does well in these types of situations …

Obama '08!

The point is not lost on anyone that experience counts; and that getting things done is not as easy as Obama makes it out to be. The plain fact is however, that we have the first African American 'electable' candidate and that should count for a lot. In addition to that, his ideas on foreign policy make sense, and his approach to politics is refreshing.

Hilary is truly a polarizing figure and she like McCain, is running because she believes she is entitled to be President. She may know a lot of secret hand shakes to get things done, but she will not make Government transparent.

In the end, we are the ones who will make our lives better. If the President sets a good tone, like Obama 'hopefully' will and Hilary Clinton will not (pitting one side against the other for political points), and makes the Government transparent and responsive to me, that's all I need.

This politics is sickening. What happened to debate the issues? Clinton came out swing because he disagreed with politics in a flyer? The flyer is true. She does have a mandate the purchase of healthcare if it is determined that you can afford. Well who gets to say that I can afford it? Why should the government be able to determine what I do with my money? She did support NAFTA. So now she is upset that he Obama is pointing out the negative effects that NAFTA has had on the job market, esp in OHIO. She wants show where they disagree on the issues but when he does she scolds him??

He is doing just what she said she wanted done, and she can't take the heat.

America Is Ready
Obama 08

OBAMA released the photo by himself to play the victim and wanted to expain his background in a victim way. At the same time, he also attacks Hillary again!

Hillary, you got my vote!

Remember the polls can be misleading. Remember California? Vote HILLARY 08!

It has begun……………….Mortal Kombat!!!!!! Na'h, na'h I'm just playing. It'll be a good matchup on Tuesday…….LOL!!!

Obama is a atrue leader for the next generation. Interesting that those who are "educated" on the issues and actually watched the debate strongly favor Obama. What does it say that Hillary's supporters are LESS informed on the issues? Obama is the right choice!

citizen,

Have you realized that all you have on Obama is his "funny" name.
You have a very lame comment.

Please prove me wrong Texas, and I will take back every single bad thing I have said about Texas, and forgive you for beating my USC team in the Rose Bowl.

Go Obama.

Say Obama wins the nomination and goes on to win the presidency. Who will he put first — his family, or his nation? Think about it. Is this any way to bring up your children? They will forever be followed and scrutinized. Think of the things they will learn about their father, true or not. What if he is ever faced with a choice where he would have to choose between family and nation? He can't make up his mind now, what will he do as president? I SO don't want to know.

HILLARY '08!! Dedicated, smart, strong.

Hillary sounds more and more not like a President with "35 years of experience" but a whining child. She changes her opinion and mood every few hours, either she has a mental disorder, a bad campaign strategy or every stupid joke about women not being able to hold office are true.

She is damaging not only the Democratic Party but the reputation of women in politics and business. Her constant mood swings from nice, to crying, to "shame on you", to "honored", to sending out racist photos, to firing the people putting out emails, to innocent…. its tired. I thought you found your voice in NH??

Hey Hillary: How is the slime machine workin' for you now?

Hillary Clinton is a disgrace to the party. I hope Obama wins and she's forced out of her Senate seat at the first possible instant. Bill Clinton was a huge success as a president, but I can't say anything good about his shrew of a wife.

Go ahead Hillary keep pulling out dirty tricks until Obama buries you in all of the remaining states!

Texas will rise for you HIllary…Especially the Latinos that the republicans try to discount through gerrymandering…WE WANT HILLARY…90% of us do around the state…Forget OBAMA

Obama will loose if he is the nomination. LOOSE!!! I will vote for McCain before I vote for Nobama!!!

I am a Democrat. I am not proud of that fact right now. The way these two fight. It reminds me of High School.
They BOTH have done really nasty things. I have supported Hillary from the start, but I will vote for McCain or Nader over Obama. I don't think Obama is an evil person or a bad guy. His healthcare plan killed it for me. I don't believe in the hype.
Maybe in 8 years I could support him, but for now I am sticking with Hillary.

Clinton/Obama or Obama/ Clinton, I Don't think it really matters who wins texas i think that they will both end up running on the same ticket if hillary cant be the president i think she will still want to be vice president. The same with obama because i think they both know that this is a history making presidential race no matter who wins.

To -> krk, MN February 25th, 2008 4:53 pm ET

Texas is a RED state and Dems are not going to win in Texas. So win in this state does not mean anything…

Krk : Uh, it means he gets delegates. That's what all this nonsense is all about ….

Obama '08!

Poor Clinton lost her voice, because she doesn't speak from the heart for example Senator Obama, he speaks from the heart, he reached millions of people we believe in him, he is the man for the present and future of our children. Clinton only wants to make history on the account of the future of our kids, very selfish.

Hillary clearly doesn't have what it takes.

Hillary is doomed…..absolutely doomed. I was really excited about Hillary but the way she has ran this campaign has been a disaster. I am now pulling for Obama and think of Hillary as a total failure.

Hillary is a loser. She is eating up her own words: "tell him to meet me in Texas." Hillary please meet us in Texas.

Lies, lies, lies, the mentioned pictures have been on Google for months now… How did Hillary have anything to do with that?

Yeah beat up on the Clintons, no lie is to big and or small to accuse her of…. wow

Just remember the same tricks Obama is using came from the Republicans, that should tell you something about the kind of person he is. The Obama Cultist are like all other cults so beware of what is to come…….

polls they never asked me here in Texas.
My and my familys, friends,neighbors are voting and have voted for HILLARY!!!!
Polls??Please….

Who are you people? I've been a Democrat all my life. I'm in my 50's. The first president I voted for was McGovern in 1971 and I've been voting ever since! I swear I've never seen this type of hate for a candidate. Or a cult like atmosphere! What a bad name you give youth. But that goes to show how only life experience can mature you. Of course, some people never grow up.

One hates his ex-wife and mother-in-law so much that he hates Hillary too. And you support a candidate that "wants to unite the country." Where's all the "he inspires me, he wants change, etc. etc. Gee, you people are still keeping up with the past–hate and discrimination.

Clinton..You are the one for us…I live in South Texas–The Valley 90% Latin americans..WE love her because of her loyalty to us…YOu have 85.5% of the vote here…Keep fighting dirty poltics..Obama is done..

Mr. McCain U can’t convince me the war in Iraq a success, what it started with a lie will not succeed.

I have to comment. I am for Hilliary. Hilliary is running not the Clintons. she is a find human being, and loves america. I am proud to be a part of her campaign. Win or lose, she a great lady and represents a great cause. If we could get some of the nnews media to be fair towards her it would be wonderful. She has my vote for a bigger, brighter and forward future. check Obama out hee's not waht he appears, and all of us will see that, if whens the Presidency. Sadly to say.

Is clinton mentary stable ? she is acting strange. my six year old daughter thinks so.

Hillary needs to give it up. She has not won in 11 consecutive states. She is not going to win Texas, or Ohio. We want a President with no baggage.

There is something very disconcerting about the process of caucusing and registered republicans allowed to vote dem in primaries. This election is fixed.

I hope Hillary wins. I will never unite behind Obama, I'll write in Hillary even if it is a vote that dosen't count. Obama is a loud mouth crybaby. I will have a bumper sticker that says, don't blame me I voted for her.

I cannot believe the main stream media (including CNN) is giving Obama a free ride!
Nobody ever talk about what Michelle Obama said that she's never be so proud of being an American in her adult life until now.
If Bill Clinton were to come out and say something like that, it would be an outrage across the wire days and nights!
This is just sickening to see that the press already picked a side for our norminee!

Dave,

CNN never said that Clinton was circulating the photo. They reported that Obama's campaign and/or that the Drudge Report said that she was circulating it….make sure you know the story before you start shouting slander.

As a 35 year-old, proud Texas woman who supports Obama, let me tell you guys, we have been busting our behinds for him down here, working person by person, call by call. Watching these polls over the last couple of weeks has been very rewarding.

I don't dislike Hillary at all, and as many people have pointed out, these two are NOT far apart on their policies. I would vote for her happily if she won…and I'm an independent, not a Democrat. But, through no fault of her own, she's ended up running for president at a horrible time, carrying a polarized electorate.

No way he'll win Texas in the general election, but hey, give us our small moment of victory.

If Hillary doesn't win I won't vote for Obama, he doesn't have the skills to lead a nation. We should not vote for a president because Muslim countries want us to. TEXAS make history. VOTE FOR HILLARY.

VIVA HILLARY

I'm not particularly worried about Clinton supporters. They continue with their mantra that Barrack is all talk and no substance to his proposals. In order to say that, they have to blatantly ignore him when he talks about his plans. Hillary used to tell you that they wouldn't work. Now she is saying that all he is is a collection of speeches. That just shows you that she knows it isn't true. Her prior attack didn't work, so she has changed it. Now it isn't working either.

So many Clinton supporters will tell you that Republicans are flooding Democratic primaries to give Obama a win. They warn us of some vast conspiracy. Then what is the next thing the Clinton supporters say? "I won't vote for Obama if he wins the Democrat nomination. I'll vote for McCain in November." Yeah. Obama's supporters are the ones we need to worry about in the Democrat party.

Columbus Ohio,

You make absolutely no sense. You won't vote for Obama because he beat Hillary. However, you will vote for John McCain who has emphatically stated, that he will keep the tax cuts for the rich and continue the war with no end in sit. However…you then say anyone is better than Bush. Have you listened to McCain? He is the very same as Bush. PLEASE use common sense!

Let's stay united as a Democratic party because we do not need another Republican president. We do not!

Obama 08′

Hillary is doing all the work for Obama. No wonder she can kiss Texas good-bye. Everytime Hillary launches another sleazy Clinton trick, I make another campaign contribution to Obama. Looks like I'm not alone. Good riddance to the Clintons and their self-congratulatory, arrogant attitudes.

I'm for Obama…Keep going Obama!!!!!!

Go Hillary! It's about time people are begining to see Obama, the Candy Man, for what he is. CNN needs to be fair and report some of the truth about Obama and lay off Hillary. And……… Where on earth do you do these polls? Everybody I know will vote Republican before they will vote for Obama. You must be conducting your polls where there is a total population of 10.

Obama's message of change is genuine in my eyes. Everytime he talks about change, he specifically talks about what he wants to change: Healthcare, immigration, you name it he has a stand on it. so i dont understand why everyone is confused about what he wants to change? he wants to change AMERICA. I support him through and through. Change is not taking steps back ( a.k.a. voting Clinton)

Did you know Obama's middle name is Hossain which is a Moslim name CNN. Not only that, it roots from a Shii branch of Islam that Iran and Iraq practice. The republican machine will be all over this issue if Obama becomes the candidate. Watch out who you vote for. We don't know enough about Obama and his weaknesses.

ummmm….they forget to mention that the other polls that show a statistical tie actually show Clinton ahead. Of course though the only one that matters to them is the one that shows Obama ahead.

Is that all you got Hillary? Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Looks like you have everything is against you but bad options.

After JFK, the world is witnessing the most phenomenal leader ever seen. Hillary can' t do ANYTHING about that. She needs a reality check and admit it.

If Hillary wins the nomination, I will vote for her. If Obama wins I will vote McCain.

I have seen all three candidates in person, and I never thought I would be impressed with McCain. But I was. I have also been favorably impressed by HRC…the only exception was Obama, he was a let down.

CNN plus Obama, winning team, once Obama is the Pres. Cnn will no longer support him

Go Texas, pls fall in line Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island… make your citizens pround and join the winners… YES WE CAN!

Once again Hillary will say and do anything to win "She is in it to win it."
Where is her true concern for the American people? She is running for self interest only.

GO OBAMA 08 "You've got what it takes."!

I think Obama should hang it up gracefully. He will take away the only chance of Democrats taking the W.H. back. He will never win if he is the nominee. They are holding back big time and the flood gates will open if he is the nom. We are playing right into their hands.

Let's tone it down guys…We all want the same goal…A Democrat in the White House…..I can understand your desire to see your candidate win but lets not risk alienating the other half of our party. We should agree to disagree until the nominee is named. If not we are doing a disservice to our party.

Go Democrat 08

I'm so sick about hearing about Hilary's 35 years of experience. It's rather obvious to me that with all that experience she can not make sound decisions.
So the question is what does her proclaimed experience really mean ?
It's funny she so adamant about bringing the troops home, but she voted for the war in the first place…..
That's what 35 years of experience gets you …. ask the mothers of the dead and wounded soilders to vouch for her experience..
Think about it.

Obama '08

Way to go… and now look how the polls in Ohio will go to Obama too….

and the leader a month ago was???? or even a week ago?? what we see is someone who is not from the back room politics, and that the clintons have no idea how to handle–well except to get mad and send out photos.

Being married to a President doesn't make you the most experienced condidate.

Do some research folks. Hillary's vast experience legacy, "Good Hearing and Speech Month." and a Bill to Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse team on winning their championship.

Hillary Clinton: Wasting time on the taxpayers dime.

you shouled have glenn back or some one talk about the money mcCain used for his capain with taxepars money,and now he has money wont give the money back he borred,wants to change this law now, after he was all for it till he owed the money .

Two good candidates should not attack each other. Ego should not triumph over the good of the nation. Let each of them explain his or her point of view and let us choose which one we like. It is better to lose the election than to damage the nation.

Marie,
"how dare CNN accuse" the Clinton campaign of circulating the photo??? The photo was e-mailed to Drudge by Clinton staffers! There's no controversy here re: who circulated them. Pay attention before you post!!!

Way to go, Obama. Another 4-in-a-roll, go for it! Texas,Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island are within your reach. Sweep Hillary sweep. She said we don't want to debate her. We debated her and see the results. What else do you have next, Hilary? Like you rightly said, see you tomorrow in Ohio where your demise surface.

I think if Hillary wins, this country will fall apart. First, McCain and Hillary are best friends, so there will be very little difference between these two candidates. Many people will not vote if the superdelegates decide against the popular vote, which is a very real possibility. Lastly, if she wins, Bill Clinton will also win. That means another 8 years of scandal if Clinton is in the limelight. Already, Hillary is involved in a great deal of mudslinging. Those women voters who perceive her as the ideal woman confuse me. She is not a nurturing character with her haughty remarks and her obvious mood swings from day to day. I am afraid that she would make a decision to go to war with Iran one day, and the next day, she'd make a speech about world peace while saying that she changed her mind. She'd bring back NAFTA, but give it a different name.
So, my vote is for Obama; otherwise, count me out of the election process!

I have a feeling that we have a bunch of republicans here on the blog that pretend they are Hilary supporters. "If Hilary doesn't win then I'll vote for McCain". We democrats can see right through you so give it up already. The last thing a democrat wants is your stupid war to continue for another 100yrs, the Bush/McCain tax cuts to become permanent, as well as spying on Americans to continue.

We are not going to vote for Hilary just so the republicans can bring up all the Clinton baggage and allow the Bush policies to continue for another 4 years.

McCain will never beat Obama. Not in a 100 years so get used it.

Hiliary wore a muslim headdress when visiting Bhutto, out of respect; but she was not a candidate. One can be respectful but not when one is running for president of the United States.

According the the polls, it's evident that many Americans do want to hear about Hillary's experience, and is buying what she is selling. I wonder how CNN analyts must feel now.

We've seen that in every state the more people get to know Senator Obama, the more they like him, and the more they support him. Give him the time, and he becomes the clear choice.

All signs are very positive for this admirable candidate; I am very proud to support him.

Didn't CNN come out with a similar poll in California?

The air of inevitability that once surrounded Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton has shifted to challenger Barack Obama. In a new national USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, those surveyed predict by 73%-20% that Obama will be the Democratic nominee.
Democratic voters hold that view by nearly 3-1.

The Illinois senator has surged to a double-digit lead nationally over Clinton, walloping her 51%-39% among Democrat voters as their preference for the presidential nomination. The poll of 2,012 adults was taken Thursday through Sunday.

It is time to let the disingenuous Clintons step off the stage. Im sure the church records will show where Obamas religious faith is grounded.

Where are the Clintons political roots grounded. Carpet bagging and using New York as a stepping stone back to the white house. Of course she beleives she is ready on day one.. She has been training for this all her life and has even sacrificed her dignity as a woman to get it.

She will do and say anything to win. Its scary.

why are hillary's only supporters poor, uneducated white people? hmm…….sounds like the republican base as well. yay nascar fans!

This DOES NOT match other polls! Politic Bias as usual at CNN.
And while we are at it, how dare CNN accuse the Clinton campaign of these photos of Barack Obama.
They have been all over blogs for a long time and more to come, I am sure from the Republican party!
He better get use to the heat if he wins the Dem. nominee. This is only the beginning!
I have read enough to know that I will never vote for Barack Obama, and I do not care what he is wearing!
Signed, A Texas Democrat!

Enough of this talk of Hillary quitting, I am an Obama supporter but I want him to knock the Clintons out. Don't give it to him Hillary. Make him earn it. All Obama has to do to seal this campaign is to pull out TX or OH. I prefer he wins both states. To be the champ you must knock out the champ and the Clintons are the champions of the Democratic party. Hillary is on the ropes but can Barack finish her that is the question. He needs to win a big state to lay claim to the prize. Fight him Hillary make him earn it. We need you to toughen BO up a little bit, so he can be ready for the championship in November!!!!

Unfortunately Clinton is so desperate to become the firts female leader that she uses dirty tactics on Obama.
Shame on you hillary
desperate mesures brings desperate actions.

Wow, I've never seen such a cult in politics before. Let's talk about issues, not about "hope" or "change." If Obama stands for change he needs to be specific. Change can be a BAD thing too. The fact that so many people follow him with no reason other than "change" is scary.

This poll tells us nothing except that the race is competative. For all we know, it was conducted in large cities with only english speaking folks. For all we know, it was conducted during the evening when certain groups of people are working the night shift.

Let's wait until March 4th before we make any judgements. It's too bad there isn't a news network that reports responsibly. CNN loses my respect every day lately.

This is grim news for Hillary. Given the manner in which Texas counts its delegates, she probably needs to win 60% of the votes to win the delegate count. The fact that she is 4 points BEHIND in the popular vote polling doesn't bode well. I really hope she puts her ego aside and drops out of the race if she indeed loses Texas.

One great thing about America: they rally behind which ever leader is elected even if they disagree(d) with him. This is true Epluribus Unum! Bad thing about Americans? They sometimes forget this.

My wife is a lawyer, and I'm a cook. I don't think you want me defending you in the court of law because of her experience. Especailly if while she was a lawyer she openly LIED to the court room..The Clintons are liars and Bill shoul dbe the last person defending his wifes honor!

GO OBAMA!!!!

I have listened to this charade for weeks. These big bashers and the lies they each planted to make Clinton and Obama look like idiots. I believe that most everything has been planted by their followers. Shame, Shame, Shame on all of you. It tells me that those who did the planting are simply afraid of losing. McCain has planted his OWN affair, to take away from the facts. He too, is a dirty politician. Now we have the contender, Ralph Nader. Before, I would have voted for him, now, I won't, he's a spoiler like Huckabee, and too old to be anybodys President. Huckabee, go home your not going to win anyhow. Nader, give it up before it starts. Hillary & Obama, have at it. This is politics. Bloggers, stop the lies and the smears. You are the upcoming generation. Is this how you want your generation to be noted as. The older generation was noted as well behaved. Your parents must be proud of you. Thank God my Grandchildren are far from being like you.
CNN you are no angels in this either. What has the world become.

Blame the arrogance of Hillary for this one. She was to be crowned after Super Tuesday and when that didnt happen, it was all about well he won small states. Then when all those small states started to pile up, it was because Afican Americans voted for him.

After Wisconson voted for him, well it's time to get out of dodge and hit the Texas/Ohio trails with the must win express. All I can say is….

When all is said and done, the best part of this will be the acceptance speech that Obama makes. Can't wait to see the look on the Clintons faces. Note to Hillary, "upsets happen". That's why you budget past Super Tuesday. No more excuses or lame duck politics.

You got schooled by the Jr Senator from Illinois.

Texas or Ohio, please put an end to the misery. Put an end to that cackle and that voice that reminds me of my ex-wife and ex mother in law.TY.

NADER HAS BECOME THE PAT PAULSEN OF THIS GENERATION… TRULY A TRAGICOMIC FIGURE WHO SEEMINGLY CANNOT GRASP THE IDEA THAT THERE IS NO CLAMOR ANYWHERE FOR HIS CANDIDACY. HOW MUCH TIME FOR HIM? AS MUCH TIME AS PAT PAULSEN WILL GET THIS TIME AROUND.

Hillary supports please answer these easy questions:

1. How does she have 35 years experience?

2. Is being a First Lady and public defender viable presidential experience?

3. Would you have ever heard of her if not for Bill?

4. Why did she plant questioners at her events?

5. Why did she support NAFTA, now doesn't?

6. Why did she vote for force in Iraq and now doesn't support it?

7. Why did she wait weeks to complain about the Obama mailers?

8. Why are her eyes bulging out of her head?

9. Why would ANYONE vote for her????

Three new polls out today in Ohio give Hillary a double digit lead there which is not surprising considering the fact that we saw another unimpressive performance by Obama last thursday in the debate.

Texas has always been Hillary territory and I'm sure she can count on all Texans but especially the hispanic community to carry her to victory in their state. She has never forgotten anyone and she won't forget you.

Unite behind Hillary Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island!

Carry her to victory!!!

Nader should get almost no time. I would have liked to have seen Edwards and Kucinich given a lot more time to put forth their ideas, even if they probably didn't have much chance of being nominated. Their ideas were very good, and it is too bad Obama and Clinton haven't incorporated them.

Obama has all of his policies clearly laid out on his website. What they are, and how to impliment them.

Anyone who says Obama is unprepared or unexperienced hasn't been doing their homework. He is by far the BEST candidate for America.

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just hope, she will go back to NYC or better to Arkansas or at the end to CHicago or where is she comming from?
Take her nice and well known loving husband with her and writing books about the lost opportunity.

That's a pretty good way of loosing, not smearing the DP candidate. But Clintons are Clintons.

Texas is a RED state and Dems are not going to win in Texas. So win in this state does not mean anything…

Obama has abosolutely no chance against republicans. Moreover in few months he has torn the democratic party into pieces. If he wins the nomination I will vote for McCain and republicans for the first time in my life.

Many posters state that if their candidate does not win, they will abandon the party and vote for the other team. When I see arguments like this I laugh, that is like taking your basketball home because you didn't win. The disturbing part of all this is that when we establish a permanent Military presence in Iraq, and Iran, under McCain, and many American's lose their homes and jobs. Many of these same posters will rail against John McCain and how could America not see what was going to happen. But they will need to look no further than the mirror because their fanaticism for one candidate caused them to take their eyes off the prize.

Texas is a RED state and Dems are not going to win in Texas. So win in this state does not mean anything for Obama.

Hillary time to stand behind Barrack the "Spoiler" Ralph Nader has returned to steal votes. Just like the long line of 2nd string villians: "The Noid" of Dominoes, "Swiper" Dora the Explorer, "Trix the rabbit" Cereal and the like. Time to stand for something join BARRACK. Make the Clinton legacy stand for something instead of the bad things we have come to know them for. This country needs to heal.

After March 4th Bilary will realize how stupid the Rudi-like strategy on relying on so-called fire wall state. I remember after Obama's victory in Wisconsin, Hilary asked him to meet her and debate the issues in Texas. Guess who won the debate-OBAMA.

All of you who have been criticizing Obama for talking generalities- go watch the debate again and tell me who had a better grasp of policiy details.

And by the way change does not come by proposing policies because there are plenty of policies proposal out there. CHANGE can only be brought by formaing a majority coalition ( Democrats, Independents and some Republicans), over coming special interest and enlisting the American people in the political process. Onl;y one candidate can do that and it is Obama.

Obama 08

The statistical tie appears to be a win for Obama. Hillary can't catch up at this point. Good job Obama!

I don't know about any one here, but what I have been reading, I DO NOT LIKE. I for ONE, Obama & wife, HAVE NOT LOST MY SOUL. I DO NOT believe most people have lost their SOULS. And you are NOT the "God" to fix any ones soul. This swooning over this candidate is really beginning to show the side of the candidate that I detest in people. Sorry, I am NOT an Obama fan.

Notice CNN does not report news that isn't going to help Obama:

Like Farrakhan endorsing him.

it's clear that HRC will do any and everything to damage Mr. Omaba in the hope that he won't win the presidency since it's more likely that she won't win the nomination and he will, so that she can have a come back 4-years later but not now not then she has 4ever hurt her chances and even if she were to be the nominee 4 years from now people won't support her. Get out now before you distroy the DNC and 4ever confirmed your place in history as a polarizing figure! The latest picture tinghy is the lowest of all lows!

Just off the wire with my buddies in Austin, the Texas republicans are going to have a Billary Bar-B-Q on March 4th and everyone that's not a yellabelly is invited… YEEEEHAAAAW! We're controling the primaries and the nationals this year. YEEEEHAAAAW!!

It's not dead heat.. Obama is ahead of Clinton.. seems like CNN doesn't know how to do the math.. Obama is outside the margin of error even if it is by a slight margin!!.. way to go OBAMA!!

A note to Democrats and Independents in Texas and Ohio from someone whose primary is long since old news.

In choosing between Obama and Clinton, just keep this in mind after you leave the voting booth. Neither of them has pleaded ignorance of the economy or mused about staying in Iraq for 100 years.

Either Obama or Clinton will be so much better than that old war-monger from Arizona that you should be happy to support either in the general election.

So enjoy having two good choices inyour primary and we can all look forward to regime change in November.

Please don't let Hillary get by the slander that she is saying non stop about you today.
Go after her on the smart comment that she made and acted out about the heavens openins, choir singing and peace on the earth had according to you.
Yes, according to the Bible we will have peace on the earth, also there is a Hell for people who hate and I say that Hillary is showing hate.
At the Debate she was showing all the love to you….fake ,,fake.
Hillary is not to be trusted. She better watch out about her past and all the wickedness she has been involved in.
All the people should listen to Dick Morris.

Barack Obama needs to show ME why he is the best choice for President. To this day he has yet to show me anything, his track record is bleak and it appears that he can't commit on any issues. Whats the deal Obama? Enough with the retoric! Start talking about the issues..What are you going to do about our economy? How about Michigan? Any why has nobody spoken about our most precious natural resource..WATER, wake up we are a country headed for turmoil and you have yet to tell me what you are going to do about it. TODAY, my vote is for Hillary!

So why the heck is Cafferty's question today asking if viewers feel Hillary shoud drop out of the race? Loaded…(full of something)

If you believe in real democracy, you would support the completion of the primary cycle – let the rest of the states have a say. Do you wonder why FL and MI might have wanted to push up their primaries instead of waiting to see what other states decide for them… I don't blame them a bit and I think the DNC will eventually be forced to count those votes wether CNN likes it or not. Disenfrancisement is un-democratic and un-American!

My husband and I just voted early in Dallas for Barack Obama and will caucus on March 4th.

We have supported him from the beginning. My husband is an Iraq war vet and I am a social services caseworker. We need his leadership. We need a wise candidate and not one that changes with the wind.

My honest opinion is that Hillary is malleable and will do anything to get elected, but the state of her campaign has become juvenile and airing a sense of whiny entitlement. I hope that the statistics on March 4 bear a larger tip towards Obama.

She's tried everything else so childish rants should be of no surprise. Hillary Clinton is engaging in shamless politics and her desperation is clearly showing. Her choice is perfectly clear. Leave with grace, or leave in disgrace. What's left to see is which will she choose. Odds have it in favor of the latter.

Its not a Muslim costume, its Somali. Some of you Americans should get out more – travel, see the world, experience other cultures. Are you that insecure that everything and everyone is a threat? Sometimes I do despair.

Experience at this current dispensation is not a pivotal attribute which has showed ( i.e. Mc Cain ) whilst don` t really matter,what`s significant, is what attribute(s) is bestowed in an individual with a can-do-spirit which can create a guaranted change and thus take this country from its doldrums to a more healthy and unitied country and the only Canditate i see having this qualities is Obama.

ombama Hussion and cnn are traders

Hillary is everything that is bad about American politics. Time to go. Please, for the sake of the country, if not for your own dignity, Hillary.

Hillary Clinton has a choice: she can lose the nomination gracefully or she can lose it ignominiously. She saw that being graceful did not deliver the knock-out she wanted during the last debate. Now she is going to try attack-dog, froth at the mouth, pull out all the stops mode. Will the voters of Texas and Ohio respond well to this? I think they're good,hard-working decent people and will vote for the better candidate.

I am not going to vote for Obama. I do not think he is competent. He wants to sit down with dictators without precondition; his health care plan is more expensive per person and does not cover everyone; he supports liquid coal technology. I will vote Clinton in the primary in North Carolina. But if she loses, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE will I vote for Obama.

This shouldn't be surprising. The closer the primary or caucus gets, the better Obama does in these polls. I am surprised about the results of those that watched the debate. I expected it to be split about evenly.

I am a confused dem. I really think Hillary is the one who should run our country going forward, based on the choices we have. Where is Obama gaining all this "hype." His speaches although warm and charming, they do not have substance. I do not hear solutions, but more about issues that need solutions. Hillary on the other hand consistently details a plan of what she would do. I am afraid that if Hillary is not the Dem nomination then I will choose to go with McCain, a somewhat liberal option within the republican party. I know I would not vote for Obama. Anyone has to be better than Bush.

Columbus, OH

Hey if the shoe fits wear it.. Hillary, HILLARY Will win

Why Is cnn mum about the nearly two hour speech by Farakhan praising Obama this past Sunday February 24, 2008. He guarded himself from coming right out and giving Obama his endorsement. This happened before a group of close to 20,000.

Cnn has become such a blatantly biased media medium. Why is it that no one has yet to write about this story. I am sure that the American public would like to voice their views and sentiments regarding this topic.

a virtual tie would be within the margin of error. it looks like mr. obama has a small lead.

All tied up, but really the story is how close things are. Hillary needs to win Texas and Ohio by margins like Obama beat Hillary in Wisconsin.
According to polls that is just not going to happen even if she won both.

I hope Hillary goes down in flames…that SHE loses ALL 4 states on March 4th by double digits!!!

Dont believe everything the polls indicate. Obama supporters are keeping really silent untill they get into the voting booth. Watch the numbers March 4.

AR,

Because she is for real and Obama…Omama…Osama is a fake.

So let's see: of those who WATCHED the debate, Obama is winning overwhelmingly; However, of those who merely followed the news about the debate, it's a tie… And those that didn't watch the debate, Clinton is winning…

Shouldn't that indicate that Obama very clearly won the debate, but the news media has been reporting it as a draw (which it wasn't), and the less people pay attention the more likely they are to simply vote for Clinton – who has the better name recognition?

The poll results are a clear rebuttal to the Clinton campaign nonsense of "media bias"… The media is not reporting THIS DEBATE in a manner that is consistant with the opinions of those that watched it.

Sons, Daughter's, Father's and Mother's share the lost of you decision not just the War in IRAQ but Also, your Husband NAFTA, and the Back door deals that he tried to make with Dubai Port World, Yes, I can see the Clinton really has look out for the American People. Just how much money did the Dubai Port world give or contribute to the Clinton's I have it at more than $ 1.5 Million Dollars have you sold us out?

What is with the media? If you are going to put down one person you should also give fair time to the other. Tell us what OBAMA is about, not what Hillary is not. This is getting old CNN

Does CNN poll Spanish speaking people?

Hillary mocks Obama's eloquence (reminded me of school days), sends a photo of him in a Muslim costume to the media (can anybody think of more than one motivation?), and throws a mock tirade about pamphlets that have been out for weeks, and in essence since Iowa. All bluster, pretense and false bravado. Never mind Texas or Ohio, I don’t understand why anyone is still voting for her.

Clinton seems to tell a lot of lies and make promises she knows she can't keep. It's not the President that makes things happen it's all of congress working together to do the right things. If they weren't all so filthy rich this country would be in much better shape. The Clintons make me sick and she will not get nominated and Obama will never beat McCain.

The writing is on the wall! Hillary has lost, Barack has won and we now should be uniting for November. Instead, the battle gets more bitter, the negative name-calling increases, and the Republicans are sitting back and saying KEEP AT IT!
Hillary, if you love this Country and Democratic Party as much as you say you do, concede! As YOU said, actions speak louder than words and your actions (and words) are causing further division. America cannot afford a sequel to GWB!

So you see, Hillary's just making loud empty noise about Obama not wanting to have debates with her….without knowing the impact of anything, she'll wildly jab at it..

She needs to know the impact of things before deciding on them…yeah you heard of that good ole bad decision argument…this is clear prove of it.

Bad judgment on Iraq, bad decisions on her campaign funding, bad decision on bringing out weak childish attacks on Obama and so on….

Let's have the Ohio debate next week so she can lose those 10points leads she has there….

Keep up the good work Hillary, I think you are our best hope for getting Obama into the White House yet. You did a wonderful job this weekend of showing me why I am voting for him.
Obama 08

Well Hillary has to win Texas and Ohio by big margins and I don't think that is going to happen by looking at the polls. I'm sick of the Clintons, enough already, it's time to turn the page.

Democrats have lost all common sense. If Obama wins Texas and becomes the democratic nominee, I will leave the party and vote republican in November (I have NEVER voted for a republican!!) I urge all Hillary supporters to vote McCain in November if she is not our nominee. .

I would call the time on the Clinton Machine but it was dead a long time ago.

John McCain was a naval officer for many years. Some may dismiss that as not important, but having worked with military personnel, I know it is a valuable and credible form of leadership and mgmt experience.

Yes!

As Obama said.

"brick by brick, precinct by precinct, state by state"

Lets do it Texas!!

WOw it seems march 4th is gonna be crucial. I mean very crucial!!!

Yes!!!!! It's almost over!

this explains the photo Hillary has been spreading

desperation

I would be interested to see where CNN is taking their polling from. Is it just in the Houston/Dallas/San Antonio area or the entire state? Because if its in just the big cities, Clinton may still have a decent chance with her popularity along the border.

It may get tied up too in Ohio after the next debate.

Wolf,

I just heard you again talking about the fliers and only mentioning NAFTA. The BIG deal was about the flier on health care lying about Hillary's insurance mandate and Especially the photo cover imitating Harry and Louise – that is a LOW blow but you do not even mention it…. Biased again?

Oh oh Texas. You are about to find out what all of the other states who didn't vote for Hillary already know. Once she loses she'll say how you never mattered and that you were never really important anyway.

At least Texas will count their delegates.
Once again we have a bunch of "hanging chads" here in Florida, only it is the voters this time and not the ballot cards!!!!!

Polling data is tricky and changable …I think it is about time that both of these candidates start focusing on the issues instead of every type of negative distraction. Win on your own merits…the republicans are watching and eating this up!

Clinton knows she is going to lose. Why stay in the race and destroy democrats chances? The road to white house is getting more complicated now that Ralph Nader is in. Clinton should quit and rally behind Obama. I have a feeling she is going to do that.

Clinton …rally behind Obama..if you want Democrats to take the WH

T – R- O – U – N- C- E ! ! ! Say it with me!

I sure hope voters will listen to all that is going on with Obama he has torn our party apart. Hillary is the only hope we have to make a difference. He is not who he appears to be. We have gotten so far off base with what is realing going on, PLEASE vote Hillary.

A word to the wise, is enough!

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck…It probably is a duck!

This is a pretty big bounce for Obama in Texas.

Way to go OBAMA!

Can't wait to see Billary give up this fight!

Come march 4th, game over for Billary!

TEXAS 4 OBAMA!
