CNN

I voted for Bill Clinton twice, Hillary would not even be considered to run for president if her last name was not Clinton. She is runnng, determined to get elected no matter what she has to say or do. Sad and nasty!

Billary, face it........your time is up! We have all had the Clintons which is why we now HAVE BUSH because we wanted a CHANGE!!! We have seen what your change brought us! By, the way where is your taxes? Some things never change!!

Go, away and take Bill with YOU. Go write a Book together. You can't control him on the campaign and you are going to control him in the White House.....please.

How many more Bedrooms are you going to rent out for the Night?

Any candidate expressing a desire to debate their oppponent's "campaign tactics" has lost the point of their own campaign. Discussion of the issues and what the potential candidate proposes to do once elected is the point of a debate. Personally, I do not understand a "flip flop" position from any candidate who chooses to discuss "campaign tactics" vs. issues relevant to Americans. (i.e. economy, war, health care, national security, immigration reform, etc.) I'm disappointed that Senator Clinton apparently feels it is necessary to deviate from her message of what she plans for America to engage in a "loser" mentality type of attack.

If Clinton is the nominee I will vote for Nader

We need a fighter in the white house!!!! NOT A CHEERLEADER! It's almost as if Obama's supporters are in a cult of something!!

Get used to it!!! Obama will not win this election and if he does.....I'm voting McCain!

People will see Hillary's negative campaigning and inability to retain her composure in times of stress over the next seven days and recognize that she could never make a good president.

Hillary is a wonderful human being, and does respect herself. She was courageous in the last CNN debate where she was asked nearly 100% of the questions FIRST. Not to mention the commercial breaks which occurred just as she was trying to respond to Obama...and also had the hardest questions. This really gives the other person an edge. Let's hope NBC evens and alternates the questions Tuesday night.

Hillary is such a disgrace o women around the world. She has set us back having men saying I told you so a woman is too emotional to be president. First came the tears, the nasty remarks now the scolding – what is she Barack's mother?? She has shown her true colors whenever she does not win, behaving like a brat – never thanking the people who voted for her whenshe loses. What will she do if she becomes president? Bomb the first country that says something she doesn't like? Grow up Hillary – this is an adult game!!!

CNN is doing everything possilbe to revive Clinton campaign. but it is too late and it is hard to fool American people. you can not confuse them this time. this time is different. so this dirty tricks will be over on March 4.

Ohio and Texas VOTE OBAMA!

Stand for change .. change you can believe in!!!

OBAMA '08

It is about time people see that she has what it takes!!!!!
She has the experience and knowledge to run the white house......Obama is too new.

Hillary has what it takes!!! OPen your eyes!

HIllary does sound bi-polar these days!

I hope the Ohio and Texas are really watching her behavior and realizing that what we've seen in the last couple of days is the REAL Hillary!

Would anyone want to listen to her insane mood swings every other day for the next 4 years??

Hillary, Ohioans, Texans, Rhode Islanders and Pennsylvanians are not stupid!

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Hillary its your time now to wrap up. Obama your are great, thats what we need from you a " Change "
Even Hillary is in lead that doesn't mean she will win, wait for some more and watch, Obama will erase it soon. Bravo Obama

Well...hope you TRUE democrats there in Ohio (as wll as Texas, RI, Vermont, and PA) are watching out for the "Democrat for a Day" voters.
None of the media pundits can account for the rapid change in Hillary's poll standings as election get near. Well....there is the "buzz" on the threads that it is the Republican and Independents voting as Democrat in the open primaries to load votes for Obama. They would rather run against him in the GE because they know they can find "new dirt" somewhere. They have already exposed Hillary's and have spent MILLIONS looking for it.

ahem...remember, HRC has to not just win both Texas and Ohio, but she really must win by a wide margin in both states, or she's finished. The polls show both HRC and Obama in a dead heat in Texas and Obama closing in on her in Ohio. Needless to say, Obama will also take Rhode Island and Vermont. She's done. America will be glad for it. It's about time we had someone that is not the establishment, not a Clinton or a Bush in the White House, nor someone that wants to keep our troops in Iraq for a hundred years. We need change...America needs Obama!

It amazes me to see comments from folks who are clearly not educating themselves as to the details of the candidates positions/plans, stating what is wrong with Obama. He has as many means of paying for his plans as does Clinton. He has a saner and more wisdom-based foreign policy stance (realistic and re-engaging us in the world at large) than Hillary – who appears too afraid to rock the boat of the status quo (won't sit down with leaders till they demonstrate a conformance to American will). Barack is a brilliant and reasonable man. One who is just as competent as the last Clinton who entered the White House will little experience. Barack's view of American and what is can be – and the world and how we should operate in it – are enough to make me a believer. GO-Bama!

SENIOR MILITARY AND DEFENSE OFFICIALS ENDORSE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON AT FORIEGN POLICY EVENT TODAY AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY AS THE CANDIDATE THAT HAS THE STRENGTH, EXPERIENCE AND LEADERSHIP NECESSARY TO BE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

3 GENERALS
5 LT. GENERALS
1 ADMIRAL
1 VICE ADMIRAL
6 MAJOR GENERALS

8 BRIGADIER GENERALS
2,000 VETERAN MILITARY

BEFORE YOU VOTE ON MARCH 4TH CONSIDER WHO THE MILITARY THINKS IS BEST PREPARED AND HAS THE RIGHT TEMPERMANT TO LEAD OUR MILITARY FORCES IF WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY.

CNN is so blinded by the facade of the Obama light. Should he become the Democratic Nominee for President, he will loose to McCain. All will see he is nothing but a motivator.

Democrats will change their party line and vote McCain in. CNN should take a poll on that.

Soon or later substance wins over empty words!
Go Hillary!

How cna HIllary be honored to be onstage one night, then outraged over his mailers the next? Especially since the mailers in question contain the same information and statements that Obama has been making to Hillarys face. I think her alleged outrage is just more of the calculated drama and bad acting her campaign has been involved in for months now. Saturday wasnt the first time she'd seen the mailers, but it was the day after she failed to hit a homerun during the debates. When the going gets tough, Hillary gets emotional every time!

Let's hope Ohio can show the same good judgment that so many other states have shown throughout the primaries – ignore the polls, vote your heart and your common sense. Who do you want to listen to and trust for the next four and maybe eight years?

I love her new makeover as "Despicable Candidate". Yeah, Hill, let's really go after hope and a positive, unifying message. That's the way to win!

I used to like and respect her. She's revealing a pretty petty and desparate side. It's sad and disgusting to see. Obama will trounce her. Just watch.

Obama 08

The only thing Hillary is leading in Ohio is watching the jobs leave the state because of her husband Bill Clinton signing the NAFTA law.

WAKE UP OHIO......4 more years of the Clinton, and you're have to shut the state of Ohio down...are better yet, follow the jobs overseas!!!

the next president should not behave like a made dog????
she has lost all her credibility by mocking Obama, i dont think women like
to see her so angry....
GOOOOOO OOOOBBBBAAAMMMAAAAA 08

Watching Hillary over the past several days has been like watching that old movie "The Three Faces of Eve." Who is the real Hillary Clinton? Last Thursday night, she is gracious and "honored to be on the same stage with Barack Obama", then, two days later she screams "Shame on you, Barack Obama" from the stump in Ohio. On Sunday, does she rest? NO! She sarcastically mocks the hopeful and inspirational message of a fellow democrat iduring another campaign appearance. Doe she stop there? NO! Today, her campaign circulates a photo of Obama wearing traditional Muslim dress during a recent visit to Somalia – a clear attempt to label him a "muslim" and by implication – a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer. This is pathetic and unpresidential. I'm a life-long democrat but if Hillary is the nominee, I'm voting for McCain.

That;s not true, you look at Obama. He has done nothing in his senate, I am so shameful that he is senate. In his years of service, Illionios still state with POOREST EDUCATION,VERY HIGHEST CRIME RATE IN US, PEOPLE ARE SO DIVIDED.
I WAS READING ARTICLE OTHER HAND, ONE OF THE REASON FOR HIGH MURDER RATE IS PEOPLE ARE SO DIVIDED. ILLIONIO SENATE TALKS ABOUT UNITY SO MUCH BUT HE COULD NOT UNITE PEOPLE IN HIS OWN SENATE, PEOPLE ARE KILLING EACH OTHER HE EXPECTS US TO BELIEVE HE WILL UNITE THE COUNTRY. THAT"S SO FUNNY, WHEN HE WAS NOT ABLE TO UNITE PEOPLE IN HIS HOME STATE,HOW CAN HE UNITE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. HE IS GIVING INSPIRATIONAL, RHETORIC, UNITY SPEECH FOR HIS PERSONAL BENEFIT,HE DOES ANYTHING/SAY ANYTHING TO WIN ELECTION

You go girl!!!! Ohio and Texas are smarter than the media thinks!! Hillary Rodham Clinton – First Woman President of the United States of AMerica!!

HILLARY- stand your ground!

The country is tired of Bushes and Clintons. I am a life long Democrat who campaigned for John Kerry and knocked on doors for Obama in Atlanta. He won big here, AND Many Obama voters told me they would vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination. She might be able to beat McCain, but I'm not so sure about that, especially with Nader in the race. We'll lose The young voters if Obama is not the nominee. AND the Independents will go for McCain too. Hillary burns bridges. Obama builds bridges! we need someone who can unite the country for real change in Washington.

Go Hillary - you are fighter --WE WILL FIGHT WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I think America is about to make history that will either make America or destroy the country completely. The Bush family destroyed our economy and kill our Children in Iraq..Yah I hope we have not forgotten so soon. After the Senior President Bush, the Jr President Bush took over from where his father logged off...Is this a family thing? Now the Clintons want to have their own share of the deal. President Bill has done his term now it is his wife turn. Does that mean we don't have intelligent people in America anymore that this Office of the President has to move from father to son or husband to wife.
I am pissed by this arrangement. I love Hillary. Please don't get me wrong. She had all the opportunity to do all she would have done for America when she was first Lady...if she could not do it then, Please lets try someone else Mc or OB...certainly not Hillary.

Hillary is by far the most qualified for the office! I have faith that she will make it all the way to the White House. I heard her speak at Hunter College in New York City last week and she was FANTASTIC. Here's to Madam President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN is so unbelievably biased towards Obama. I haven't seen any positive coverage of Hillary since October.

I'm a lifelong Democrat! Hang on in Ohio and Texas Hillary!!! Don't give me no option but to vote for John McCain in November!

She is not only a woman, she is also the one who can be in fact ready on day one. Now Obama is using dirty politics, is that the change.. " Just Words" as you would say Mr. Obama from a borrowed speech that you did not quote.

If Hillary does not win the nomination, then what other woman that you may think of will get the nomination in the next 12 years or so?
That s a good point.

Senior citizens, women, latinos and males who think outside of the box can make change things in the right direction.

Hillary for President!

Shame on you Obama and shame on all of you for being fooled by the media – don't you see how biased the media is against Hillary? Well, just wait and see, as soon as Obama gets that nomination, the same media that built him, will destroy him like a peanut, leaving us with another republican in the White House.

Don't be fooled – VOTE for Hillary !

Hillary is definitely comeback kid, will win Texas & Ohio. Obama supporters, why are you so furious is it because rhetoric talker is not in lead. I can;t believe rhetoric talker Obama made you all fools, deceiving with his JUST INSPIRATIONAL SPEECH so STRONG EVIDENCE OF WHAT HE WILL DO IF HE WINS, HOW HE SOLVES PROBLEMS. I am glad people are realizing that he is talker not doer, OBAMA IS THE CANDIDATE I NEVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, HE USES OLD WASHINGTON POLITICS FOR HIS BENEFIT,DO ANYTHING SEE ANYTHING TO WIN ELECTION.

Polls come and they go, and change daily. More often than not, voters make up their own minds based on their own PERSONAL feelings toward a candidate. People, should Clinton win, do you relaize that it will potentially mean SIXTEEN YEARS of Clintons?? Sickening and scary.

From factcheck.org

"In closing, we'd just note that Clinton is no innocent on sending out misleading mailers. We reported on Feb. 6 that a mailing by her campaign contained a "big distortion" of Obama's position on Social Security taxes and falsely implied that he had "no plan" to address mortgage foreclosures. It also attacked him for voting for a "Dick Cheney" energy bill that gave "huge tax breaks to oil companies," when in fact the bill gave a net tax increase to oil companies."

I think that Hillary is graping her last breath of defeat here. because if you at the polls in Ohio. the history will repeat it as in Wisconsin. This lead will evaporate within a week. She was ahead 21 points on Feb 12
He is gaining grounds and closing the gab much faster. Another defeat is on horizon. The desperation is evident and negative campaign is in place to score some more points. You can defeat a movement that is funded by the people. The U.S hope lies with Obama. Ii is time for her to leave the football now. It is done.

Obama needs to stop pretending he is another MLK or JFK. He is not even close. I am glad that people are now seeing the true man. He is unpatriotic and will drop you in a heartbeat. Look at what happened at this weekend's black union gathering in New Orleans. Hillary was there, he was not. He will do almost anything to win. Be rhetorical, miss important meetings with constituents, and XEROX speeches!!! It is time Mr. Obama to come up with your OWN plans, not someone elses. Let's see your true colors.

Both Hillary and Obama will prove the crictics wrong. First, Obama is showing who he really is and this will be to his undermining. Go check factcheck.com. Obama, cheap shots never help. Hillary you will be our comeback girl! Surprise is in store for all of us.

Hillary Clinton is only concerned with her personal agenda. She cannot be trusted. It is amazing how many naive Americans buy into her rhetoric. It would be a shame, and a mistake, to put her in the White House as our first woman president.

Hillary Clinton is using cheap and demeaning tactics to steal the nomination. If she wins, I am staying home.

I hope the people of Ohio look long and hard at Hillary Clinton in the next few days and think about what voting for her really means for the Democratic Party.

Please think about the following actions:
1) "xerox" comment
2) scolding Obama for fliers she later didn't deny the content of
3) sending out equally, if not more so, misleading fliers about Obama the day after the debate
4) sending out the Kenyan garb photo in an obvious attempt to appeal to people's fears.

These are not the actions of a leader or a person who believes the American people are more important than herself. If she really believed that, she would try to unify the party and not create more division.

I know many strongly support Clinton, but please think about these things before allowing this primary to continue.

Obama is a motivational speaker.....he has not proven he is a leader. The comments on this and most CNN threads lead me to believe that Obama supporters are very sexist and uniformed. Stan says "If Hillary had divorced Bill and stood on her own two feet- I believe she would have done much better as a nominee and as a human being." THAT is sexist...it means that any woman who wants to keep her family together after her husband had an affair is stupid, a lesser human being, has no self-respect, and is a sham and disgrace (in Stan's and the media's opinion)....he who is without sin, cast the first stone. WAKE UP PEOPLE

The dust up over the photo of Obama is his native cultural dress is nothing compared to what's being discussed across the Web. Type in Obama and antichrist in the search guide of your choice, and hold on to your hat.

I'm so sick of the "kool-aid" comments. Barack Obama is not Jim Jones, and his supporters are not deluded cult followers on a suicide mission in the jungle. To suggest otherwise is not only revoltingly offensive in itself but demeans a large section of our electorate.

Imagine if Hillary Clinton was being incessantly compared to Squeaky Fromme of the Manson family... Not only would this suggestion be absurd beyond comprehension, but it would paint Mrs. Clinton's supporters as deranged homicidal maniacs.

Please stop these bizarre remarks.

Even Hillary supporters know that she has to win BIG in OHIO....
She MIGHT just win- but NOT BIG....

TEXAS- Obama will win
Vermont_ Obama will win
Rhode Island- probably Hillary

If Hillary were to pull off a miracle and win the nomination, McCain would clobber her. She is acting quite erratic lately and is either personally "losing it" or getting terrible advice. She and McCain are too much alike. How about REAL change in Iraq? How about REALLY putting lobbyists in their place? How about a new conciliatory approach?? Only Obama can defeat McCain and Hillary should stop the divisive, nasty, personal attacks. I used to support her, then I felt sorry for her and now I think it's time for her to leave the scene. Obama 08

For all those of you who don't think he has any specifics, check out the debates, or his website. All you are watching is a random stump speech, and in those stump speeches, EVERYONE is just talking rhetoric, whether it be Obama, Clinton or McCain.

Hillary WILL win Texas and Ohio, and she will win the nomination because after this win the superdelegates will vote in her favor!

Go Hillary!!!

Well i hope this percentage raises a bit, im happy she has the lead. Good to see another state that is using not only their minds and hearts, but their EARS! Listen up people, no, not to the pundits, but the facts, Hillary is the real deal.

Hillary 08.

Clinton's behaving badly.......................Hillary, go away (and take Bill with you)

I'm a former supporter but anyone but Hillary (including McCain)

Voters have already seen the "tragic result" of electing a commander in chief with little experience in national security and global affairs, she said. "We can't let that happen again. America has already taken that chance one time too many."

I don't fully understand those of you that say "I'm a hard-core Dem but I'll vote McCain if [insert name here] gets the nomination." If that's the case, you aren't a hardcore Democrat if you would consider voting for someone who, save a couple of issues, is fairly conservative.

How does everyone know that this picture was not put out by the Obama campaign to make it look like it came from the Clinton campaign? I would not put it past them?

Let me tell you something, the polls have no insight into this race at all! we still have eight days to go. The second President Obama's Words reach the Ohioians, trust number will STRONGLY favor him. His words are so true and intellectual they pierce all your negative beliefs about politicians, Trust me, I have listened to this genius.

All the uninformed morons who support Obama will vote for an untried, inexperienced and unknown candidate. It means that you all probably voted for Bush-twice!! Get your head out of the sand! In response to Patrick- I would rather have a former two term president guiding her. Especially Bill Clinton, so soon everyone forgets the 90's, where you could feed, clothes, and shelter your family without welfare! We didn't have a war-monger or a money grubber making the rich, richer, in the Whitehouse! Wake up

The next president will be Hillary

Obama is nothing but false hopes. Hillary proves her points which is why she needs to be the next president.

This whole Kool-Aide thing doesn't even make any sense as an insult. Well first of all, you insinuate it's a cult, which is defined as an organization which espouses a religious belief system that deviates strongly from the traditional faiths accepted by society. Nah... I'm pretty sure this is a political/social thing irrelevant to any religious beliefs. Now for the Kool-Aide. Kool-Aide is an OCCULT reference not a cult reference. Occults believe in supernatural rituals, powers, and beliefs which is even further from Obama. PLUS "drinking the Kool-Aide" would insinuate that we'd be poisoned and dead, not "brain washed" or "mesmerized". So I'd just like to say nice try but you'll have to look for another phrase that actually makes sense.

Thanks for playing though!

Obama will make a great VP but he's just not ready for the top job. Sure he gives great speeches but he's just not ready to lead the country. There are too many issues that require experience and actual planning. Words don't fix deficits and they certainly don't provide homes and jobs. Certainly, with all thats happening in the world...he has no international experience worth discussing and atleast Clinton has made the effort (before throwing her hat in the race) to show a little interest internationally.

Obamalamadingdong February 25th, 2008 3:19 pm ET

If Obama gets the nom I'll jump the party fence to McCain.

I have seen quite a few of these comments and they lead me to believe that this is a racist person that would NEVER consider voting for an African American......so they use excuses like this.

You need to get a life.

GO HILLARY!!!

WATCH YOUR BACK GIRL!!! HOLD YOUR LIPS UP HIGH!!!

GO BILLARY!!!!

GO BILL!!! (THE REAL VICE-PRESIDENT)

THEY WON ... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

NOW WHAT!!!!!!

I don't pay attention to polls anymore! I believe that Hillary will win Ohio and Texas because she is the BEST candidate! Hillary is a fighter for America and I support her all the way! What upsets me most is how the media (CNN, MSNBC, & FOX) have all been so negative and biased about Hillary not giving her a fair chance in the media! The media has portrayed Obama as a saint and hasn't scrutinized him like they have Hillary. You tell me who's trying to sway the publics vote!!!

GO HILLARY!

Hillary – The First Female President of the UNITED States of America!
Hillary- la Primera Mujer Presidente de los Estados Unidos de America

The so called Obama "momentum" is over

Hillary we are with you all the way!
Hillary claro que estamos contigo !
WE LOVE YOU HILLARY AND YOU'LL BE OUR PRESIDENT

Texas4Obama

No, you are wrong–not all Texans are smart. Many like you are dumb and gullible!! Those Texans proved that when they voted for Bush not once but twice, and help put him in office. They fell for the good ol’ boy trap and helped to lower the expectations of the highest office in this country. By voting for him they said it’s okay that you are inexperienced, that you are incompetent that you are an idiot, as long as you are a good ol’ boy and you are likeable–we want you to be our President of the United States. Those that voted for Bush are just as responsible for the 8 years of hell that we have gone through. Once again you dumb people are falling for the trap by voting for the inexperienced one but, hey, he makes you feel good! NOT this Texan. I’m voting for Hillary– the smart one, the intelligent one that knows how to think w/o a written speech in front of her. The one that doesn’t’ stutter–the one that can win!

There's a new national poll that CNN didn't get to mention yet.

Obama leads Clinton 51%-39% nationally, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll. McCain leads Huckabee 61%-23%.

In the last poll, conducted Feb. 8-10, Obama and Clinton were in a statistical tie with Obama ahead 47%-44%.

The poll was conducted Feb. 21-24 and has a margin of error of +/- 3% for Democrats and +/- 4% on the GOP side.

To all these people claiming Obama lacks substance while Hillary has experience: it doesn't mean a thing when November rolls around.

If Hillary cannot win the independent voter (which she has proven unable to do) she cannot win the general election.

Obama may not be the best experienced leader, but he is the best candidate for the Democratic nomination.

I live in Columbus Ohio, and there are a great deal of Obama supporters. Hilary is acting just like a child that does not get their way. Nobody that I have talked to is interested in her, everybody that I speak to say that they more they hear Obama, the more they want to vote for him. That is coming from Blacks, Whites and others. She really needs to sit down before she hurts her chances of being elected in the future. She can run again the next time. What people fail to realize is that you can't mess with GOD's people. Cindy McCain messed with Michelle one day, and the next day they were dealing with their own nasty mess. If this is GOD's plan for Obama, then he can be stopped. Obama is everywhere in Ohio over the next few days, and each facility will be packed to capacity. Bet that!!!

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win." – Gandhi

Sen.Obama will win, America will win!

Go Hillary!

Maybe you'll post this, proberly not. it's time for twenty ads for Obama!

Keep on working hard, Team Hillary!!

I am behind you 100% and strongly believe that Hillary is the best person to solve our country's problems. She has the scars to prove that she has fought tirelessly for all of us. Over 6 million children have healthcare thanks to Hillary. Protestant and Catholic women in Northern Ireland began working things out thanks to Hillary. Adoption is easier thanks to Hillary. Breast cancer research has received more funding thanks to Hillary. Females in different areas across the globe have greater access to education, healthcare and economic opportunities thanks to Hillary. 9/11 victims and victims' families have received more compensation thanks to Hillary. Ground zero workers have received more healthcare thanks to Hillary. Etc.

She has proved that she is the best candidate for the job. Please support Hillary!!

I have just decided to vote for Hillary Clinton.
Did anyone see the weekend update with Tina Fey, she was so wise.
All these Obama supporters have the same tone, they are arrogant and fake, but then again look at who they support. Zing! haha

Interesting....I have now sent two similar emails re my support of Hillary. Neither has made it to this blog, but a whole truckload pro-Obama are getting right in during this whole last hour.

Hmmm, I'm starting to wonder if there's any truth to the bloggers who claim CNN is jaded??

Obama is a fraud, please people think about what you need, not about the next american idol (I am not sure he has the skills).

I am a female. I love the fact that a female is running for office. But I was very disappointed that my state voted for Hiliary. Hillary Clinton is unstable. How many times has she changed her mind on issues? She was for the war, now she's against the war, she was for NAPTA now she against NAPTA. What other things has she changed her mind on. We need a president that will stand against the odds, stand against other politicians, big businesses, spouses and whoever goes against what best for the people. Ohio don't you wonder why Hilliard doesn't have a link to the facts website? She doesn't want you to know the truth. She only wants to give you her emotional feeling for the day. Also she's so full of herself. Her favorite word is "I". As a senator and 1st lady she sure has done a lot for this country all by herself. Don't you think as President she'll have that same arrogant, argumentive, unstable behavoir with the rest of the democratic party? She's not a team player. It's in speech. Can't you hear it? We don't want the Democratic Party to be divided like the Rep. Party do we? Wake up Ohio and US overall.

Hillary is the comeback gal!

President Hillary Rodham Clinton – Has a nice ring, doesn't it?

I just don't believe the comments of the people on this board.

When Hillary concedes this nomination.....who are they going to beat up on them. Not the PERFECT OBAMA.

I will not vote for him and it looks like he will be the nominee. Because the media has already nominated him....CNN how come the negative comments for OBAMA don't get posted.

I vote democrat more often than not, but this year if he is nominated I won't be voting for him. I guess I will sit this one out.

If people are so sure he is going to win,......then Why are they no nasty about Clinton They shouldn't be angry.....there is no problem, he will win

I really don't understand the people who constantly say "I've been a Democrat my whole life but I'm going to vote for McCain if A or B get's the nomination." Really? How much of a Democrat are you?? I've seen it from both Clinton and Obama supporters, and it is a ridiculous argument. It makes you look stupid.

Oh wow what do we have here? Look at the latest polls in Texas Hillary is increasing her lead again. To bad the polls don't call all the heavily populated hispanic majority cities. That would show Hillary's lead to be even bigger. She will win Texas by at least 8 percent.

Oh I forgot, Obama wants to give illegal aliens a license to drive. I am hispanic, but I am totally against that. Let them earn the right to drive legally by becoming legal themselves first.

I have more faith in the people from Ohio and that they will see through Hilary's devisive, and derisive sound bites than I do with these polls. I think that most people are a little more grounded than to allow themselves to be taken in by Clinton's negative un-presidential antics. Do your own research. There's plenty of factual information out there.

There should be no place in politics for people like Hillary and Bill, let alone to run again for president. Shame on the "Democratic" party for supporting those racists. And yes, Obama is right, change is needed and I think it should start within the "Democratic" party.

BOY OBAMA GROUP WILL GO TO ANYTHING TO SET HILLARY UP. IT WAS FROM HIS ON CAMPANY BUNCH THAT PUT THAT PIC. OUT SO HILLARY WOULD GET BLAME FOR IT, TO HELP HIM WIN TEXAS AND OHIO. WAKE UP PEOPLE. ANYONE THAT RUN WITH LOUIS FARRAKHAN, TONY REZKO, AND YOU THINK OBAMA DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO PLAY THE GAME TO GET WHERE HIS IS TODAY. GROW UP PEOPLE AND GET WISE TO LIFE AND GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND. HILLARY I BELIEVE IN YOU. YOU HAVE MY VOTE GO HILLARY
JO OKLAHOMA

A looser mocking a winner? ............how strange, how desperate and how cheap!!!!

If Hillary had divorced Bill and stood on her own two feet- I believe she would have done much better as a nominee and as a human being.

There is absolutely no way that anyone in their right mind would vote for someone to lead our country that has absolutely no self-respect!

She is a complete sham and absolute disgrace for women and the United States of America!

Hillary does not have a fat chance in hell to win TX or OH. She knows this, but people are now seeing that she is trying to destroy Obama's chances so that she can run in the next four years. After her recent polarizing tactics, she will be lucky to win her senate seat, she forgets that she is the senator from NY, the most diverse state in the country.

Go ahead and vote for empty words.
We know in Chicago, that the same electorate that elected Tod Stroger and a bunch of other "windy city" politicians is why Obama is a senator in the first place.
Use your head, ask yourself what does this big empty bubble called "Change" means...

Hillary will only be ready day one because she'll have a former president on the east lawn reading to school kids.

Get real people. Hillary is just as inexperienced, maybe moreso than Obama. My wife is a doctor, does that mean I can quit my job in finance, and diagnose your illnesses?

Being married to a president doesn't make you ready on day one.

Usually it's "May The Best Liar Win" But really Hillary you change personality from day to day and I find that a little scary. I don't feel as though I could trust you to run the country as you appear to be like a spoiled child when things aren't going your way. What makes Obama appealing is that he remains cool when under fire and isn't that who we want running this country someone who IS "cool under fire". If everytime someone ruffles your feathers and you act like a child which you have over the years this makes me feel as though you are going to run this country with your emotions rather than with a level head.

If Obama gets the nom I'll jump the party fence to McCain.

Go Hillary you will win here in Texas and you will win Ohio. Clinton 08

Hillary's lead in Ohio is numbered. Hillary supported NAFTA that took jobs away from Ohio. Texas will be won by Obama and so will Ohio.

Go Obama '08

Wake up America, Hillary is a spoiled brat. NO ONE has all the answers and NO ONE can run this country alone. They both will be relying on advisors and such to confir with on ALL the issues. At least we know that Obama will be looking for poeple who will have his frame of mind and be looking for new ways to bring change about that will make the American people better off.

Hillary is out for Hillary – don't ever be fooled.

Hil, would you pick up a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk on your way home tonight?

Thank.s.
Bill

Obama is a myth.

Nice story in our paper this weekend. I hadn't heard much about it , but apparently Hiliary Clinton had.
Title= "With supporters like this" (State Sen. Kirk Watson)

" On MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews asked the Austin Democrat to list some of Obama's legislative accomplishments, but Watson blanked. After being asked repeatedly, the former Austin mayor finally said "I am not going to be able to do that tonight." "

Wake up people. Can't you see, there a need for change.
OBAMA 08

Hillary, start working on your concession speech !

The gap will be narrowed down to negative 5% in favour of Obama before March 4. That is Obama will 5% to what Hillary has now and Hillary will take what Obam has now minus 5%. Hillary is a looser and she is going to loose by all means.

Please, I wish everyone would get a grip. Obama talks real pretty, but pretty talk will not get the job done. He is always evading the questions put to him, and I don't think his pretty talk will help him if he is picked and has to debate McCain.

You all going for Obama say it is because he can bring real change. I don't see how. You want real change, well my god, lets put a woman in there now.

Hillary really knows her stuff and is coming from a different perspective.

I say I want change.

I want Hillary for president.

Don't count Hillary out, the Clintons will hit a new low in an attenpt to win Ohio and Texas. Even if she loses she will take the fight to the convention in the hope of getting the Michigan (156 delegates) and Florida (210 delegats) delegates seated. There is a 1940 ruling she plans to use at the convention to accomplish this task. Once she has these delegated seated and with the support of the super delegates she will declare victory.

Don't give up, Hillary! There is no reason for Senator Clinton to drop out of the race. It is not over–all states have not voted yet. There are many of us who think she is the best qualified candidate and would be proud to have her as our next President.

Goooo..... Barack Obama..........

Gooooooooo....... Barack Obama

OBAMA ......08......... and may our counrty sleep better each night knowing Hillary is not at the helm.......

I use to be a Hillary fan, but have moved to the Obama campaign. I'm tired of her attacks on other candidates, and then getting upset when the same tactics are directed back at her. The other candidates have tried to turn the other cheek, but she is getting worse now that she is losing. I am sorry we won't have our first woman president this year, but she lost control of her campaign and turned many of us off.
For the Hillary supporters attacking CNN, they aren't showing their bias, they are showing you what the majority of the country is saying, and you need to stop scapegoating them.

A question for AOS:

Are you really a Republican as you claimed or a Democratic with your hidden agenda?

You sound like a Democratic to me, becasue normally a Republican won't take side in democratic affair, vice versa. If you support Obama, that is perfectly right for you. Please never ever pretend who u r not and try to get something hidden behind your words. Get real.

Pat 2 of Part 1 filed 3.05 pm

SO: Feb. 14: Clinton kleads by 19 points Last Weekend: by 11 points
Looks very similar to Wisconsin.
As stated above, the trend is WORRISOME, by the time of the primary
OBAMA probably will win or at worst draw.

But even idf the 11 points remain, Hillary would get an advantage discount of only approx. 14-20 pledged delegates, from the present advantage of 143 Obama enjoys.

TOM

March 4th, I will have a bottle of champagne:

If Obama wins the contests in Ohio and/or Texas, I will be toasting him!

If Hillary wins them, I will drown my sorrows!

I totally agree with you Michelle. Don't be duped by Obama and his smooth talk. Before you vote, READ about the candidates and their accomplishments. Be informed BEFORE you go to vote. Obama's sermons on the mound are nothing of substance, just a lot of hot air. People that follow that line of talk he delivers are just lemmings.

I'll sooner write in Hillary's name in November if she isn't the Democratic candidate or vote Republican before I see Obama as leader of this country. Sorry but you don't go from the mailroom to CEO. You need to do the time, Barry!

It has been said that to attack Hillary's record is much easier than Obama's because he relatively has none. An analogy of it would be like saying Hillary is a bad driver because she has tickets and accidents on her many years of driving. Therefore we should trust Obama to drive our country even though he is a teenage driver, he has a clean driving record.

Personally I think with that analogy in mind that Obama's first big wreck should not be done as president.

Hillary is not only acting schizophrenic but more like white trash than a political figure. Who in their right mind would vote for a person like that? I am a 73 year white female and I say shame on you Hillary Clinton.

Ohio is going to cause Obama's campaign to stop abruptly. Ohio has always been a bellweather state and has had a history of picking winners and strong candidates. Obama will not win Ohio. Face it Obama supporters, Obama cannot win in Ohio. Get used to it!

Any politician that has ever claimed to be a uniter and an agent of change has been a bold-faced liar. People don't change Washington, Washington changes people. So in this election I'd rather have the devil we know than the devil we don't. We know with Hillary as president we will have a ton of scandals and backroom deals, but things for the most part will get done. Nobody can say for certain what will happen with Obama. He might truly change things and we'll live happily ever after or he might mess everything up with his naivete and we'll all be worse off than ever. That's not a risk I want to take right now. The important thing to do right now is fix what Bush is leaving behind, then we can move on to overhauling the government.

Time for Hillary to step down, and support the united democratic party. She's trying to do anything just to win the votes. She supported for NAFTA in her book, and now says NAFTA is bad for America, she's saying this only because she's running for president. Also, her health care plan is a mandate, where she will go after your wages even if u can't afford it, she even said that in one of the debates. For those of us who are honest with ourselves (doesn't matter if u're a democrat/republican or independent, and doesn't matter if u're white, black, latino or asian), you know that she's been trying all the negative & dirty political tactics against Obama, just to win the votes, and she lost 11 continuously now. Even now she's continuing to degrade Obama. I am ashamed to be a former Hillary supporter. I am supporting Obama now, many of my friends, we all were supporting Hillary, but now that we see her true attitudes, we are changing our minds. We are from Ohio, and Ohio is for Obama. For people that still support Hillary, please think about it again, do u want a president that is willing to go after someone go negatively just to win your votes ? or do u want someone who really wants us all to be united & fight the common problems we are facing as Americans. Please think, don't just vote for her, because u support her, please carefully think before u vote. She in the debate almost cried, and said it was honor to be with Obama, and immediately two days after that she's going negative on Obama again. PLease support Obama. Lets come together, as united Americans, and vote for Obama. Thanks, CNN please post my comments. u never post my comments. I want to reach out to the people with my comments. Post my comments, post my comments CNN

I am glad to see Hillary go after Obama, we have been listening to all of his hot air long enough, I am just sorry she hasn't gone after him sooner. GO HILLARY GO!!!!

Yikes! So much venom from Obamidiots here! It just shows they're very scared of Hillary ha ha!!! I'm glad to report that Hillary is strong and getting stronger with every attack.

Fight on Hillary! The sensibles among us know you are the most qualified candidate and will make a great president.

MADAM PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON!!!

Hillary is so desparate, she's grasping for straws. So far, the only thing she's shown in this campaign is that she's a follower NOT A LEADER! Obama has the leadership, intellect and character to turn this country around. More power to the people!

OBAMA FANS UNITE...

...and walk off a cliff. You're nothing but sheep. Your leader is a false prophet and will not, cannot, deliver on the goods he promises.

Latinos, Asians and other minority groups in America should be careful of the Clintons. Their own people – Whites, know them very well. That is why they have made their decision to try other candidates who are much better them the Clintons. They are trying to take advantage of the minority groups with fake and dirty tricks. Please open your eyes and vote for the right person.

GOGGLE PETER PAUL/HILLARY CLINTON COURT CASE AND READ UP YOU CLINTON PEOPLE BEFORE IT IS TOOOO LATE!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is behaving like a brat, not very Presidential in my opinion, when she mocks Obama she is also mocking the many preachers and their church, her comments about the sky opening up, etc. etc. Her sarcastic remarks are like those of the school bully! She behaves like she does not know who she is. Showing a photo of Obama dressed in African clothing just proves that he is willing to visit other countries and is not afraid to wear their traditional clothing. Calling out Shame on You and meet me in Ohio for a debate, like this was a challenge. . .to me she seems like a woman going through menopause, not sure what you will get on any given day, one day soft and sweet, then acting like gosh knows what, then laughing her head off. . .if she is nominated for the Demorcratic party I will for sure vote for John McCain.

Hillary has won in all the important blue states....she will once again be considered the front runner after she wins in Texas and Ohio. Then we'll see if Obama does what is good for the party and agrees to be her VP.

Hillary in '08!

I cant wait until Hillary takes him apart in the Ohio debate, Go get Him! Let's see how Obama does in States where he is not outspending his opponent 5 to 1!

Obama is a movement...March 4 is when the freight train runs over the Hilary bid for the white house...the info is out there on Obama his polilics he is an open book taxes released so the public and see that he's legit..I have never seen so many people drawn to on person like this...when he speaks on TV you can not help but be inspired by his words ...Obama 08 he's out future and most of the young people know it..now the rest of the country is finding out..Hilary is the past...were done with smash mouth politics...

Feb 12: Obama 20-23 points behind in Ohio
Feb 25: Obama 8-11 points behind in Ohio

That's like 12-15 points Obama caught up. I'm on my feet right now and my heart and stomach are skipping really fast. I pray and hope that Obama wins next Tuesday night in Texas and ohio. After all, I'm an Ohioan living in Atlanta.

I hope all these Hillary attacks post-Thursday's debate and the ones upcoming today and for the next eight days can hopefully propel Obama to victory in Texas and Ohio!

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

Very true polls do not mean anything. We saw that in Wisconsin when it was a statistical tie the he wins that state decisively

Hilary.. who really are you?? she goes from attacking obama, to false tears, to being "honoured" in his prescence... how can we trust a president we dont really know!!?

OBAMA 08!

I like both Sen. Cliton and Sen.Obama. That is why I would like to see tiket: CLINTON/OBAMA or OBAMA/CLINTON.

Lou

Obama will definately beat Hilliary by the same amount of percentage points the polls have him behind.

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary! Great job! Hold on to the lead....
Show everyone that Obama is indeed all talk and little substance.
A win in Ohio and Texas will give all of us who support you the boost we need and will give you the time to catch up while the country realises that Obama is not all what he wants us to believe.
In fact the absence of concrete plans or how he would implement proposals that conservatives strongly disagre with, will be discussed at length during the general election (if he is the nominee) and this would ensure a McCain victory...
So let us all support Hillary and put the country back n the right direction....

Andy If you knew enything about free trade you would be talking out the other side of your mouth. Even Hilary is against it now. Check up what the others are saying and don't sound so stupid. Mabe you want them to sell more at cut rates to China at your own expense

we dont need a fighter. we need a uniter !!! thats why washington is all messed up right now. everybody is fighting....fighting will not lead us anywhere. we need someone that can bring together republicans and democrats because we will never have an all democratic congress.

Harry Truman used to say, "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen"...Obama supporters your candidate is only beginning to get the heat put on him. He better get a fireproof hide now because if he is the nominee the Republicans will do a lot worse than spread unflattering pictures. The whispering campaigns have harly started.

Obama has had the media on his side so he is not used to the heat and the idea that HIllary might take a state or two is too much for him.

Wesley Clark was just on Air America and he gave a wonderful interview about why he is supporting Hillary. he needs to be on CNN!

Go Hillary and keep on keeping on!

Hillary 08, 12 etccccccccccccccccccc.

Obama spins a great yard but I think I have to vote for Sen. Clinton. There's too much going on in the world to have a president that has so little experience. I guess, in Sen. Obama's own words, it is a good idea to let him "stew" a little longer before he sits in the big chair.

Hillary, if you want Ohio, you need to deny publishing that photo. NOT dance around and prevaricate. Make it very clear you didn't publish it.

God help you if you did.

Feb 12: Obama 20-23 points behind in Ohio

GO HILLARY !!!!!!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!

If democrats seriously want to change the direction this country is headed, they should vote for Clinton. Just remember. At the end of the senior George Bush’s presidency we were in a similar mess. That is when Bill Clinton came along with the message of “it is the economy stupid” and the promise of fixing the economy and turning the country around. He was elected against all odds the president of the United States. With his approval ratings through the roof for his 2 terms (despite the republicans efforts to impeach him), HE DELIVERED on that promise. He created abundance of jobs, balanced the budget, paid down the debt, controlled the deficit and was actually able to create surplus. And the world saw America prosperous again. That only generated respect. Imagine that. Then America became complacent and we are now once again at the end of Bush Jr presidency in the same, or worse mess than we were when his dad was president. That is why we need another Clinton REVIVAL. Another Clinton presidency is what America needs, except that this time is the new and improved version.

It figures that Ohio would be pro-Hillary. They're the same fools who voted for Bush – TWICE! Ohio – wise up. Don't be afraid of change. Remember what Bush promised - and then delivered. Our schools are in shambles, our boys are dead fighting in a war that your president provoked and our economy is in the toilet because of it. Stop reacting like a sports town and start thinking how change might actually be good for all of us. That charisma that Obama projects could be the saving grace this country needs right now.

obama is crying fowl over the florida delegates. his name ,hillary and edwards were on the ballot, these people came out in the hundreds of thousands to vote, and because hillary won the obama camp says no. but if obama had won he would of been screaming for them to be counted. COUNT THE VOTES. obama says lets have a caucus because he wins on his speeches, it is like a drug when you see the people get caught up in the moment it always reminds me of jones town when that spirital leader drew in all the people with his words and lead them to disaster. please have free will and vote with knowledge

Here we go again, Obama didn't vote for Nafta ,so it's her fault that Ohio's lost jobs. Obama didn't vote for the Iraq war because he wasn,t even a senator ,yet, but if he was ,then what? Read between the lines folks, this Obama character is all fluff and has taken a few pages out of the GWBush playbook. Bill Clinton was correct when he said to yhe people, "are you kidding me" , this guy is still green behind the ears! Go figure???

Great picture! Seeing Hillary with a smirk on her face and hands together in a tent position. This is the same pose used by every movie stereotypical "master villain" and the Simpson's Montgomery Burns. You can almost hear her saying, "Excellent, excellent." This is new for me since I usually think of Hillary as another famous movie villain. I can't wait until Obama drops the White House on Hillary in Nov and her toes curl up under it. She IS the wicked witch of the east!

Dear Barack,
Those of us from Ohio are proud of our country and have always been proud of our country. Better leave your unpatriotic wife, Michele, at home next time you're in the Buckeye State. She won't go over well in the Buckeye State.
I'm sad that she caused me to change my vote to Hillary because I liked you, Barack, even if you are a little egotistical.

NOBAMA..................This is silly. Tell the whole world why you don't like Obama. I am not sure you have a single argument against him. Please put on your thinking cup and do the right thing.

Shame on you "NOBAMA".

I NEVER hear that Hilary is ahead in the polls. All I hear is that Obama is increasing and then if he gets ahead it is front page. Why is the media so biased in this campaign?

TEXAS IS HILLARY COUNTRTY!!!!

She didn't discover Texas when it became an integral part of winning the Dem nomination in her bid for the Presidency. She knows Texas, she knows are our diverse people, issues and politics. She is intelligent, practical and a strong advocate for the underserved. When it wasn't popular to make healthcare affordable, she brought us healthcare for over 6 million American children. She represents the working person who is trying to make a better life and country for our children.

TEXAS IS HILLARY COUNTRY!!!!

Hillary Clinton's characteristic divisive attack again on the recent mailers will hurt her more. This time, her vicious tone and fishwife like screaming anger were not presidential. It was ugly.

The fact that Hillary has a lead in Cincinnati is wonderful for her campaign! Cincinnati is a very conservative city in Ohio. If she holds a lead in Cincinnati, that means she is more appealing to members of the Republican party, which is a great thing!!

it is a shame for clinton camp to smear the future President Mr. Obama. it is ugly tactic democrats to tear down each other; lets be possitive and hope for change. the change we can bleive in.

OBAMA 08.

Hillary cannot be trusted. She shifts her opinion on issues when politically convenient. And she's proven that with NAFTA and Iraq. America is ready for somthing new and Obama is the candidate.

Go Obama!!!

THE POLLS ARE JUST GIVING HILLARY HOPE. I BELIEVE OBAMA WILL WIN IN TEXAS AND OHIO. THE DEMS HAVE TO PLAN FOR NOV. GENERAL ELECTION WITH OBAMA AS THEIR CANDIDATE AND FORGET THE CLINTONS. WE NEED A CHANGE.

TEXAS, OHIO PLEASE VOTE OBAMA.

THE CLINTONS HAVE TO GO HOME, THE TIME IS OVER.
WE NEED A YOUNG MAN LIKE OBA MA

VIVA BARACK OBAMA PER SEMPRE

After reading most of the posts on the CNN Political Ticker, what I fear more than the candidates are the voters. The folks who are posting in here are childish. For those of you who demand civility from the candidates and then spout off in your mean-spirited rhetoric are really hypocritical. The name calling is so disturbing and there is very little substance from a great many of you. The candidates don't scare me as much as you do!

I agree with Michelle here:
February 25th, 2008 2:32 pm ET

It's a little scary how Americans can be easily fooled by a smooth talker.

Obama is getting a free ride, and I'm afraid it will be all the way to the White House, but it will be too late then and America will be no better than it is today.

That Kool-Aide is going to be the death of us all, even for those who know better and vote for some one else. I so hope we are all smarter this time around, but I'm afraid we have been fooled again.

Obama is not the right choice. Do your homework, read up on all the candidates, open your minds and pick with your heads not for who people tell you to pick, or who you think has the most movie star qualities, that does not make for a good president.

I live here too and I'm so worried that another inexperienced person will be in charge again, he's going to fail he's not ready and we are all going to be screwed.

Obama means change . . .let's be realistic . . .anybody other than a republican is change. Though I respect Obama I do not understand what he is really offering that is so much different than Hillary. Hillary has experience and knows what battles to fight and how to win them. Here we have a man who is clearly intelligent but has not actually even gotten his feet wet when it comes to politics. Face it, whether we like it or not they are all politicians . . . .it is asking the question, which will the better politician. Change could come in the form of positive or negative change. Actions speak louder than words to me and Obama, though liked by many, does not have the experience to make me feel comfortable voting for him. I do not agree with everything that Hillary and her campaign have done, but if she is going to fight her way to the white house, then let her do it without criticizing her. Let her get some positive publicity from the biased cnn and MSNBC programs. I would like to Clinton challenge Obama on issues at hand . . . .I say the gloves are off . .so let's see it all. He/she who wants it the most will fight the hardest to get there.

all you people think OBama is the greates things since sliced bread ,why are you all blaming hillary for the photo what make you think that OBama group did not post it to blame Hillary. all you OBama lovers ask him how we are going to pay for all his plains like $4.000
for all collage student en role. all you lovers think we are spending lot off money in irock wate till see what he will spend in African & kenian. he says he is not mulsin when he has been friends of Louis Farrahhanfor 20yrs at his church & his pastor Wright a the same church & of all Opreha. also Obama keeps harpon on the war every every body was lide to about the war& OBama voted to give all the money to support the war .hope all peope that support OBama & going to vote him becuse you will ellect MC caine .good luck. just me. he ,mnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

All the bickering back and forth with the Dem party want solve anything. Sen Clinton and her campaign has got all this mess started,
because she has lost 11 straight . She's already showing examples of a sore loser. Why can't she just run her race and quit trying to belittle Obama. This man, although don't have much experience than she does is, very intelligent, aware of all the politics and problems that is going on in the world. If you've been keeping track of the debates, you will realize that Obama is all about business and getting the job done. He wants to bring about change and put an end to all the lobbying and other political issues that has been going on in the White House, and may I add Hillary has a lot to do with some of the problems as well. Their philosophy is, "We don't want change, we want to keep the political mess going", while Obama wants to clean it up.

Get real America!!!!!!! Hillary is running Democrat in a Republican world.

The people supporting Obama have been swayed by lots of rhetoric and fantastic speeches, but no substance and contents – his promises are lofty and wishy-washy. I am really beginning to think that our country is nothing more than a whirl-pool of populism (pop-art, pop-music, pop-stars, pop-politics)!! Sad, sad, sad. Most Americans seem to have the need for a Messiah. What we need is a real president! Go Hillary!

I think Hillary need to stop talking bad about Obama, she needs to look or act civilized, I am so disappointed how she act-she's childish and I dont think she is fit ti be a president . Above all we are voting for the new generation we dont need a repeat performance in the white house.

This picture, given the events that have transpired since, is kind of chilling. Obama was basically shaking hands with a snake.

Hillary's comments would not be considered "outrageous" if a man had said them. Don't you want your President to be a force to be reckoned with? You know Jan, you've sold yourself out. You know, Hillary is despised here in SC, but she truly is the only one of the three left standing who knows the world leader's names and for that matter, can find places like Kosovo on a map. I'm sorry, but I can't picture your man Obama looking anything but like an inexperienced spectator at a world conference with his eloquent words getting him nowhere.

I’m a normal American *woman*, and I wouldn’t vote for Hillary. The woman is not genuine, and if she won, it would be business as usual- kook-left ideas trying to be shoved through while kook-right stalwarts do everything they can to halt the process. In short, nothing gets done.

And while I would still get out and vote for someone it IS becoming “normal” in America to just stay home on Election Day if there are no candidates you like.

Hillary Clinton has officially lost it....she has shown so many personalities in this campaign that it's hard to know who the real Hillary Clinton really is. She goes from this moment to screaming to mocking...it's tilme for the party elders such as Al Gore and John Dean to get her out before she ruins any chance of the democratic party winning in November. What in the world is she thinking. She says she's running for the people and yet her desire is so strong that she is willing to cast the democrats aside in order to win. Shame on Hillary.

Hillary is a sicko. She is decisive like Bush and her administration will also underperform. Her supporters are not critical thinkers but blind followers who are incapable of analyzing a new candidate and alternative. Ohio dems – think. Some of us have.

Obama 08 & 12

Did Hillary Clinton take her meds? She seem to be shockingly bipolar, judging by this weekend attack on Obama. If she goes belistic on an pretty much correct attack on her support of NAFTA, how will she fair taking on world leaders abroad when other countries dare not to agree on her foreign policies? Hey..in a nutshell, she's to unstable. I'm definitely going for OBAMA for president 2008.

WAKE UP TEXAS, OBAMA SUPPORTERS! HE IS THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR!! I'M A DEMOCRAT, BUT I BELIEVE IN PEOPLE WORKING FOR A LIVING JUST AS HARD AS I DO! YOU NEED EXPERIENCE TO MAKE "CHANGE" AND HILLARY IS A STRONG, DEDICATED, SMART HUMAN BEING! VOTE HILLARY FOR A PROSPEROUS NEXT 8 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious how an inexperienced person who only speaks of change and his supporters can often not identify anything he has changed can become such a symbol of change...

I think people need to step outside the box and ignore the medias (CNN this includes you!) persuasive choke hold and think about the candidate who says words matter but borrows other peoples words with out crediting (until after the fact). Go ahead say Hillary has done the same thing but remember her platform isn't words matter she may speak to it but "O" has made it a slogan of his campaign.

If you can step outside the box watch all the debates over and you'll see that there is a clear difference in his ability to speak when it's a rehearsed speach and when it's a debate. He speaks well in front of large crowds but when there is someone else interjecting different ideas he tends to fumble... and if you watched the last debate you'll notice he also doodles a lot and speaks with his hands WAY to much and just doesn't seem groomed enough to be a president. If he can't be presidental in a debate to become the president how will he act as the president with leaders of other countries? He needs to get more experience under his belt and come back because he's simply not ready!

WHOO HOO! Go Hillary!! Obama has flip-flopped repeatedly, and is doing it again about NAFTA and trade. He wants to please everybody, even people with opposite views. Some day, he's going to have to take a stand and come down on one side or the other, and then... won't everyone be surprised.

Karim February 25th, 2008 2:34 pm ET

The race is close because true democrats see through Obamas facade and know that Hilary is the best person to lead this party and lead our country.

Independants are fooled by Obamas smokescreen / rhetoric and are mislded by the baised media and consequently may end up steering us into a social and fiscal nightmare.

Obama is dangerous, and I hope Hillary takes off the gloves in this Ohio debate. Its time to shine some light on Obama and his weird combination of bed fellows. Everyone from Farakhan to his Wall Street buddies. Obama is an unamerican manchurian candidate and if he is the Democratic nominee I WILL vote for McCain. At least McCain is proud to be an American unlike the Obama and his arrogant wife.

Hillary is hiding in Bills coat of presidency. I wonder if he will make all the decisions for her. I wouldn't like a president who can not take pressure. Obama has handled himself so well so far when he is down 20points or up 20points and that is what I am looking for. I can not afford to make another mistake. Not this time, not this year!

Ohio sees what Hillary is about. It will be Obama winning Ohio!!!!

I wonder what Ohio residents think after the last 2 days of Clinton's tantrums, unprofessional and immature mockery of Obama's speeches in Ohio. These childish tactics of putting a photo online which is probably supposed to sway clear-thinking Americans that Obama is not fit to lead because he wore some traditional outfit. Hillary and her camp are starting to act like six year olds who have been denied candy. Grow up already Hillary, and learn to lose with dignity!!!

What Hillary was going to change with the slogan real change is what Obama is going to change!

Hillary, it's not the fall that hurts, but the sudden stop at the bottom. You'll hit the bottom of the shaft next Tuesday.

That percentage could change any time between now and March 4,08 look at the way Hillary and her camp conducting themselves,I hate durty politics and so most Americans , Keep it up Hillay you are only hurting yourself. By the way , you do not have my support.

It is silly to think that people who watch the debates are not the same people who see many sides of Hillary and I wonder who will vote for her!

WAKE UP TEXAS, OBAMA SUPPORTERS, HE IS THE MOST LIBERAL SENATOR! I'M A DEMOCRAT, BUT I BELIEVE IN PEOPLE WORKING JUST AS HARD AS I DO TO MAKE A LIVING! VOTE HILLARY FOR A PROSPEROUS NEXT 4 YEARS! YOU NEED EXPERIENCE TO MAKE CHANGE!

Mr. Barack Obama thinks he's got the democratic nomination "made in the shade", but I would't bet any money on it! I guess your memory must be fading because former President Jimmy Carter, a great American and humanitarian, bless his soul, lost at least twenty states in his run for the presidency. And, guess what people, he became president of the United States. So, for Mr. Obama, to be so arrogant as to think that he is already the democratic nominee, is rather interesting. It's not over until it's over. He has already declared himself the president....... If he were to manage to win the democratic nod, then it will be very interesting to see him go up against a real man, John McCain. And, oh, guess what Mr. Ralph Nader has just jumped into the ring. Let's see Mr. Barack Obama go up against a well seasoned politician like Mr. Nader. It's going to quite a delight to see!

February 25th, 2008 2:06 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Hillary is the best person for the job. Obama is all hopes and dreams that are nice to have, but you can't sit around waiting to win the lottery. Reality, you have to go to work everyday. It takes a doer not a talker.

Who would have thought that CNN would be so biased towards the HRC's campaign.....I guess you have to look somewhere else to get objective (kind of) news coverage of the campaign

Hillary, the best, I hope she wins, other way, better any dull republican.
Go Hillary, not only America loves you, but people from Europe as well!

Forget the polls if you saw how Toledo Ohio received him. It would make you a believer. Yes we need HOPE and a fresh start. He is the person that can do it. So to the polls forget them have been wrong before. OHIO OBAMA!! OHIO OBAMA!!

throughout this campaign obama has shown that he is actually tougher than clinton by sidestepping and brushing of every attack and negative ad. she's backed into a corner and it amazes me how she continues to alienate the rest of her supporters by acting like a spoiled child

After watching the sickening fake sweetness of Hillary at the debate last turn into a raging maniac only a few days later...I am frightened by her bi-polar appearing personality. Now that's all we need for a leader!

After the recent attempted smear, she'll be lucky to hold her Senate seat.

He isnt going to DUPE the Ohioians. They know his line of BS is just that, BS>

Texans are smart – we will be voting for Obama!

The polls are usually always wrong in this political season.

Texas will be a landslide for Senator Obama. We are organized, motivated, and informed down here.

Obama – our next President of the UNITED States of America!

I too have been a staunch democrat my whole life. However, if Obama is the nominee, I too will vote McCain or just stay home. I refuse to be one that has to say I voted for him if he gets in. This guy scares me to death! It's too bad the American people wouldn't wake up before it's too late.

We have time. Obama is closing in. Remember what happened in Iowa & Winsconsins. Obama will win Texas and Ohio and Hillary will have to drop out of this race.

Good! He is closing the gap. When American people gets a chance to listen to Obama, they become aware of an alternative. It's so exciting that we have a choice now.

I won't be surprised if polls, after her outbreaks of emotions in the last few days, will show Obama has clear decisive lead.

Go go go Hillary! Surveys says it all... You're No. 1 here in Ohio. We will not fail you coz we know you won't fails us.

what good is it for the U.S to be the richest country in the world in contribution to NAFTA, when 99% of Americans do not share in it's wealth. Vote Obama for president 2008.

If Obama wins I will vote Republican. The office of presidency is not for a novice.

Hillary supporters have no educated response to any of these articles.

Yes, in Ohio we will be voting for change...change Senator Clinton can accomplish. The majority will not buy into that preacher nonsense.

I support Barack but feel like I can objectively see both candidates for who they are. I thought Hillary could be a good president but the last week has really changed my opinion. I really hate that she lets her emotions get the best of her sometimes. Did you notice when she had her "shame on you" news conference, she came out smiling until she stepped up to the mic? That to me says that it was all tactics and acting. If you are upset, you are not going to be smiling at folks and turn on your anger!! C'mon. With that said, I think that both candidates should be focusing on the issues. But that is hard to do when Hillary continues her attack trying to force Oboma to react the same way he did when they tried it the first time. Stay above the frey Barack. Please, both of you, just the issues!!

cool, we will see, be patient
In Wisconsin it was the same !!!
LOL !!

Hillary's outrageous comments against Obama this past weekend caused me to lose any respect for her that I had left, especially in light of her saying the previous Tuesday night "she was so proud to be there with Barack Obama" (e.g., in the debate).

I sure wouldn't want someone that changeable to be in charge of American foreign policy.

Go Obama!

All Obama supporters who believe in Obama and in change should please stop the name calling and criticism and go to the field to get voters for Obama. At moment he is loosing in polls and your vote is what he needs and not your critics. I regret I am not there because I would have played my own part. All same I have donated but dont stop at that, get 2 registered voters each to give him the lead. Please I beg all Obama fans to act now or regret later.

Nicholas Nigeria

This is unbelievable, one day Clinton is saying shame on you Obama, and the next she is smearing him. What I do not understand is with all the support for Obama, which is obvious just by looking around the comments left the vast majority is for Obama, so how can this race be so close?

Obama '08!!!!

When was this poll taken? Wait a few days. With the latest smear campaign tactics by Hillary, she is finished.

Yes, Go Hillary! We have failth in you! We will fight with you all the way to the White House!

In all i blame the Democratic Party authorities in which because of the so call very popular but biased Ex-president Bill Clinton happens to be part of that is creating this very tense moments within the party that will favour the Republicans. Both Hillary and Obama are tearing themselves with nonsence issues and digging deep in their own back yard which in return the Republicans will use against the Democratic nominee simply because the Democratic establishment was very sure Mummy Hillary was going to make a walk through the primaries and caucuses to be the party's nominee. But in my view the Hillary campaign, including her husband have been critising and even insulting Obama and his personality. I think that should stop if the Democrats wants to be the next occupants of the FIRST HOUSE of the country. And to end i have this feeling that SHE just want to be COMMANDER-IN CHIEF, the OVAL OFFICE as she has been saying in most of her campaign speeches.

I'm a Republican, and don't have a stake in the Hillary – Obama showdown (though I will watch the debate tomorrow night with a bowl of popcorn in my lap), but one thing should be clear to everyone. Hilliary is in it for Hillary and Hillary alone. Her only ambition is to become the first woman president and will say / do whatever it takes to get elected. If I were Obama, I wouldn't turn my back on her for a nanosecond.

It's a little scary how Americans can be easily fooled by a smooth talker.

Obama is getting a free ride, and I'm afraid it will be all the way to the White House, but it will be too late then and America will be no better than it is today.

That Kool-Aide is going to be the death of us all, even for those who know better and vote for some one else. I so hope we are all smarter this time around, but I'm afraid we have been fooled again.

Obama is not the right choice. Do your homework, read up on all the candidates, open your minds and pick with your heads not for who people tell you to pick, or who you think has the most movie star qualities, that does not make for a good president.

I live here too and I'm so worried that another inexperienced person will be in charge again, he's going to fail he's not ready and we are all going to be screwed.

if Obama gets the nomination, he may well pick retired General

Tony Zinni as his V.P.
You could not design nor build a better choice for Obama!
Zinni is a Marine's Marine, a guy that under different circumstances, was as much a hero in Vietnam as McCain.
He had a brilliant career in the Corps, at times putting his career on the line in order to do the right thing instead of what

his superiors wanted.
Zinni served in the Gulf War, and served as CENTCOM afterwards.
He attempted to tell the Bush administration that the intelligence they were giving the public was totally wrong, but was

told his advice wasn't wanted.
Zinni would be a crushing blow to the McCain campaign. He has far more national defense and foreign affairs expertise,

and, can articulate it much better. His selection would instantly wipe out the McCain gameplan to try and exploit

Obama's lack of military service and lack of experience in foreign diplomacy.
He has great respect among many important people in the middle east, and has a history of being able to get things

done working with them.

Hillary is finished-
We have one week to close the Ohio gap and then it's over.

Look at the current Texas polling numbers-

It's obvious looking at Hillary's latest smear tactics that her campaign is far beyond ridiculous and this will surely come back to haunt her. She has no shame .

I am not convinced that the Obama campaign has locked up a win. I think it is possible that Senator Clinton might well win Ohio and Texas. The pollsters have been wrong several times this year, and I am really unsure as to where this is going.

I expect to see a much more aggressive attitude by Hillary Clinton at the MSNBC debate tomorrow night. I would expect her to attack Obama on several fronts. It will be fun to watch.

I support Senator Obama, but we are a long way from home in this campaign.

Lowell

To the likes of G. Lars, I wonder what "specifics" you people are talking about. Why can't you guys be specific about these "specifics" and see if Obama has an answer or not? You just chose to ignore his plans and policies and instead focus on the part of his speeches where he sought to inspire.

These two candidates have debated 19 times already and Obama has held his ground and shown he knows as much as Clinton if not more. if Clinton can't challenge and floor Obama on these so-called "specifics", then we Ohioans will specifically reject Clinton, just like 23 of the 35 states that have voted.

Ohio has had enough talk do you really want to listen to a preaching session for the next 4-8 years? ,Hopefully Ohio's ready for action get em girl get em!

I want fighter , let the Republicans drool over her it shows them for what they are... Drive the wedge till their party breaks apart as they would gleefully do to us. Break them into religous woohoo's / racists / convservatives / libertarians/ independants fractions we can win over the libertarians and independants. And since we are now the conservative party in comparison to this freak'n budget we can pick up a few of them as well.

Go BILLARY! 2 is better then one! and anyway they have to put the letter W back on the keyboards hahaha.

IF YOU WAN'T SEE THAT SEN OBAMA IS "READY ON DAY ONE", LOOK AT THE WAY HE HAS MANAGED HIS CAMPAIGN.
-$140 MILLION OF "OUR CONTRIBUTION" HAVE PRODUCES 25 STATE WINS.NO MEMBER OF HIS CAMPAIGN STAFF HAS BEEN FIRED.
-THE RESIGNATIONS AND FISCAL MISMANAGEMENT IN SEN CLINTON'S CAMPAINS HAVE BEEN COVERED EXTENSIVELY BY THE MEDIA.
THIS "EXPERIENCE" THING IS IMMATERIAL.
AL GORE ( SERVED IN VIETNAM, CONGRESSMAN, SENATOR AND VP FOR 8 YEARS) LOST TO G.W BUSH (ONE AND A HALF-TERM GOVERNOR WITH NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE.). DON'T BLAME RALPH NADER-LAZY DEMCRATS SHOULD HAVE TURNED UP AND VOTED OVERWHEMINGLY-ALSO, GORE COULD NOT EVEN WIN IN HIS HOME STATE(TN) AND BILL CLINTON'S HOME STATE(AR).
-THE CLINTONS SHOULD JUST GO AWAY.–

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

I support Obama and a message of hope. I "hope" all of Ohio and Texas do too. Hillary mocks Obama's message of hope – but isn't it hope that built this country? Someone had to believe the impossible to voyage across the seas and settle this country. A group of colonists had to hope that they could succeed in a struggle against the might of England. Nelson Mandella and Ghandi had hope to perservere in their struggle. If we can't buy in to a message of hope, then where does that leave us? At least with Obama, we have hope. What do we have with Clinton? More of the same – political infighting – backbiting – and posturing. When will we (as a people) get fed up of it all? (We expect better behavior from our preschool children!)

Go to Nader's home page and look for info on Obama if you really want info on him that no one in mainstream media seems willing to expose.

These polls mean nothing! It shows that she is losing her base as she did in the 25 states that preceed March 4. She needs to win by 25+% or more to even begin to make up the ground. The antics over the weekend are going to be pusing those voters on the fence over to Barack, why should we continue to do "business as usual". Barck will win those states and finally end the might Clinton machine. Barack 08!

Her lead has shrunk by 10 points. That's the story of this poll!

H.Clinton is too sarcastic for her own good. I was born in Ohio and now live in Texas. Both states have proud people and won't be bullied by the Clinton crowd.

A real "Texan" doesn't want the government taking money out of their checks for health care, if they don't want it.

We have had: Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, no more Bush and no more Clintons. Many people living today have never seen a President except a Clinton and a Bush. So sad........................

I am driving across state lines to canvas for Obama. So are a lot of people. These polls have only just started to move.

YES WE CAN!!!

I thought Sen Clinton's campaign was trying to redefine her message. Now that she has fired several people in her campaign, I have noticed the difference. While I currently support Sen Obama, I was resigned to the fact that, if he were not our nominee, I would then support Sen Clinton in the general election. With all due respect to Sen McCain, I cannot imagine voting for him considering his strong support of the war in Iraq. IT APPEARS THAT HILLARY IS NOW DEFINING HERSELF AS THE DIVIDER THAT I SUSPECTED SHE WAS... I NOW AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT I CANNOT VOTE FOR SEN CLINTON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES AND IF SHE WERE THE DEM NOMINEE, WILL, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 34 YEARS OF MY VOTING LIFE, SIT OUT THE 08 ELECTION.

You press should have watched SNL. You are bias. Obama is full of speches and he is not ready . Clinton is ready. If Obama wins I will vote for Macain

Only those who cannot see would say they can not read the hand writing on the wall, i bet they can hear, it is very glaring, Obama is the NOW man, there is no mistake about it.Join the winning side ,Vote for Obama,Vote for the CHANGE we can believe.

my parents were born in OH my son was born in OH..

WHAT does the Buckeye state SEE in HRC?

Soap opera city? fun, adult games, scandals and slippery cover ups? in the White House?

THEY DO KNOW WHAT TO DO!! on day one, on ANY DAY!

Put someone in charge of your future who has done NOTHING in 15 years except play power games?

What has that lady done for NEW YORK? the place is deeper in depression than when she arrived! no jobs, no prosperity. Just monuments to Woodstock!

Ohio,Texas,and Pennsylvania are big on guns. Obama said he wants to BAN all handguns! He wants to make concealed carry firearns illicit.
Voters had better take a deeper look into his life to see what makes him tick or they will have a bama dropped on them.

Wow!! I'm told writing GO OBAMA!!!! gets you out of moderarion and actually posted. Let's try!!

Mark my words. The republicans that have been voting for Obama will not vote for him in November. The Democrats should be electing there own Presidential Candidate, we will be sorry when McCain sweeps in the General election come November.

The rest of the country that hasn't voted better start voting Clinton because she is the only one that will win in November. Look at the states Barack has won. Red states that he will never win in a general and then Mcain will take Florida and California and probably New York. So where does that leave the democrats??? Screwed again.

All of the states out there that haven't voted better think twice about propellingg Barack Obama in to position to run against McCain. He won't win!!!!

I still think Ohio may be rigged. That was where Kerry lost, too, after all. With thousands standing for hours in the rain to vote.

I'll vote for McCain or Nader before I buy into the empty talk of Obama. Just WHAT is he going to change and HOW?

BTW – when Obama supporters start attacking my character just because I don't bow down to him and believe unquestionably. It sends shivers down my spine. It is worse than opposing George Bush in 2000 or 2004. I can never vote for Obama since he does not tell his supporters that threatening and calling people names when they disagree with him is wrong! His Unity is an EMPIRE – no dissent allowed!

She's ~150 pledged delegates down, and the party would be destroyed if she won it through the superdelegates... So she has to not only eek by in Ohio and Texas, she has to win by margins. The next few states that vote after March 4th are going to be 30+ point victories for Obama... so if she doesn't pick up at least 30-40 delegates on March 4th, she's still lost.

She needs to hold at least 10 points over Obama in both Ohio and Texas, and she's losing Texas and losing ground in Ohio...

On March 4th, the only thing left for her campaign will be to hire a fat lady... and enjoy the music.

Its Obamaland!!. watch out.

I hope Hillary holds on - and that we all take this opportunity to learn a little more about Senator Obama. He hasn't been the front runner for long, and I feel he hasn't been fully vetted by the press - as many others obviously agree per SNL. In spite of Obama's 11 wins, he and Hillary are actually very close in the national polls, and I think it would be a mistake for her to drop out prior to March 4. Hillary is also doing well with fundraising, so I would say her supporters are more optimistic than the media would have you believe.

It's desperation time for the "Mighty Clinton Campaign"! This is a photo of him visiting his father's homeland. It is out of respect for the country you are visiting to follow their customs and traditions when visiting. This is nothing more than doing Washington business as usual that Barack campaigns against. The inevitable president Hillary is now on the brink of the abyss – showing their true colors! I for one am sick of her antics all weekend, what happened after the debate? Someone should throw water on her so that we can watch her wickedness melt out ouf sight once and for all! Barack 08!

I believe Obama released his photo by himself to play victim.

TX
Rasmussen today Clinton 46% Obama 45%
(ten days ago same poll Clinton 54% Obama 38%)
29% of Texans already voted and those went by big margins to Obama according to the poll

American Research Group TX Poll today Obama 50% Clinton 42%

I still cannot see Obama as an electable candidate with wanting to shake hand of Najad of Iran If elected...

It just continues to amaze me on the stupidity of ourselves. Obama is a freshman Senator with no experience to back him except on a city/state level. Everyone is comparing him to JFK – he wasn't even born then!!!!! Wake up before it is too late. These have to be the same people that voted Bush in for 8 years..............No wonder other countries belittle us!

Go Hillary Go!!!!!!

Thank God that everyone is starting to wake up.

If Hillary wins we won't have to worry about Health Care and International relations will certainly improve.

I was around when President Clinton was in office and there was no better time in America.

Internationally they are LOVED.

Please allow her to show all of us what a real "fighter" she is.

Obama just needs a little more experience and then he might be able to run in the next election.

Go HIllary Go!!!!!!!!1

Obama will never ever win for President.
Strike One- You refused to place your hand during the National Anthem and your response to that. "Most people don't". Hey Moran, most people are not running for President of the US.
Strike TWO- You refuse to wear the American Flag as a pin stating you can show you are patriotic in other ways. Newflash dumbo. If you are running for Presidet, you should always wear it. If you are Senator, you should always wear it.
Strike Three- YOur wife quotes "For the First time in my adult life, I am proud of my Country"! Your response "She was misinterperted. An educated woman who reads her speeches before she says them is not misinterperted.
Strike Four – Your Houston office does not have THE US FLAG, BUT THE CUBAN FLAG.
OBAMA, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT. YOU WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT.
THE ONLY CHANGE YOU WANT IS TO LEAD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY.

It's quite apparent that it's all over for the Hillary.I would suggest that every American should call up their local radio station and ask them to pay tribute to Hillaryon Mar 5th. Ask them to play the old Roy Rogers song "Happy Trails To You".All the over 60 voters that supported her wiil Identify with that old song and it will be there final feel good too.
Just think March 5th,a historic day when Hillary finally throws in the towel.It will the beginning of the end for America's Bush/CLinton/Bush era.
Good luck America with your soon to be President Obama.He knows how to energize people and I forsee him appointing a lady as his running mate...not Hillary either. But Hillary was correct when she said everything will be all right.

go Hillary!!!!!!if she doesn't win there will be another Republicain in the white house, yuk. Obama doen'st stand a chance, he is smoke and mirrors. i would vote for Nader just to send a message to the Democrates. come on Ohio, change the course of history!!!!!!!!! you have the power, doesn't it feel good!

While the headline is Hillary holds a lead, I would point out that the lead seems to be decreasing significantly each day. It is highly probable that Obama will win in Texas and if statistics keep up, he will win in Ohio as well. Of course even after Hillary loses these "so called" must win states, she will argue that she wants to stay in it and will argue that she will stay in it till the end. She argue that Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan will give her the nomination.

Of course by then, Hillary's own volunteers will leave her.

Obama and Hillary supporters all need to wake up!!!!!!! They need each other to win the election in November. Look at the total votes not just state by state or delegate the total vote. 44% for Clinton 43% for Obama!!! Neither can win without the others supporters!!!!!!The people support their canidate so much that they will vote for Mccain before they vote for the other!!! Face it, They need eachother to win!!!!! NiThey need to run together to unite this country and beat Mccain or we are in for 4 more years like Bush!! I say Clinton/Obama ticket then when that is done Obama can run!! That would give us 16 years of a democrat president and we get the best of both worlds experiance and change. This will be the only way to unite the Democratic party and Fix America!!!!!!!!!!

come ohio is really taking your jobs everytime your shops online for the shopping networks you get afunny speaking person in india that's where our telemarketing jobs are or customer service in insurance companies are more and more going out of this country for cheaper labor, if you want to get some of these jobs back start boycoting these company's . obama is a joke who do you think your jobs will benefit think about it. vote hillary for president.

Sounds like desparation from the Obama supporters in Ohio? Cheap, negative, false ads...now trying to play off this photo smear. Please. This campaign is only for the moment. They will do anything to tip the scales for him except argue constructively the issues with his opponents. We've seen time and time again that he can't or when he does he uses incorrect facts, stories, etc. (see UPenn's fact check).

For someone who is so into uniting, he sure runs a polarizing campaign that challenges core democratic principles.

Here's the thing. When you look at the map, the states Clinton has won vs. Obama (and the ones she will likely win), these are the states that the Democrats MUST take. Obama winning Kansas, Nebraska – these will be RED states in the fall and will never go to a Democrat (they always, by overwhelming margins, go Red, so even if Obama can gain say 10% of the Republican vote, it's not enough).

I'm undecided, but I think given her experience and intelligence, and the fact that she can win the swing states (Ohio, PA, Florida), Hillary should be our nominee.

Hillary for president!!!!

What is happening to you CNN?

Here's the thing. When you look at the map, the states Clinton has won vs. Obama (and the ones she will likely win), these are the states that the Democrats MUST take.

It is sad to see how blind the american people are that we would vote for someone like Oboma(Odumma). He has NO experiance that hods any ground to Hillary's experiance. She has been in the White House for 2 terms with her husband and knows what is required and exspected. She has proven herself time and time again. I can't believe that we americans would vote for someone who upholds the same religious beliefs as the people we are at war with, and that religion teaches hatred of americans. His drug use was far from experimental as he has admited himself, as well as his experiance falls extremely short or what we need. Everyone needs to open there eyes and see that Hillary is the right choice.. And all your men need to suck up the fact that she is a woman and put that aside because she can get the job done. Vote for Hillary – She will strength our economy and strength our lives and our futures.
GO HILLARY !!!!!

Hillary Clinton's vicious attacks, sarcastic remarks and mockery of Barack Obama this past weekend should make all Democrats in Ohio and Texas vote for the young Senator who is about change and unifying our country. Mrs. Clinton went from being "honored" to furious in what seemed like two seconds. Obviously, she can't handle the pressure very well. This country needs a commander and chief who can. Barack Obama without a doubt, has my vote. "Yes We Can"

He will look good in that outfit in the White House!

The polls were wrong in New Hampshire and WI, but they were right for the most part on Super Tuesday. So we cannot discount them just because we dont like what they say. Hillary has a real chance in Ohio and Texas, this race is not over. People understand that under Obamas healthcare plan, we'll still be paying for those who are uninsured. People know that she has a comprehensive plan to tackle Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama does not. People know Hillary has a record of actual, life changing accomplishments, Obama does not. Thats why people are going to vote for Hillary on March 4th, and thats why Obama will lose this nomination competition!

Hillary has shown that she can not manage her staff much less motivate them to do the right thing. Recruitment and rerention has been so poor if she were a medium size company human resources manager she would have been fired long time ago. If you compare the management style of Obama and Clinton you will soon come to the conclusion that he is the better manager of the two.

Obama has more legislative experience than Hillary. And he's got more to show for it than years.

He has detailed plans that back up his hope. Research the facts yourself before you regurgitate what the media has fed you.

Thank God people are wising up to the fact that Clinton is the only Democrat that is going to have anyone listen to her. Just to sustain the abuse she has had to endure is enough for anyone to see that.

She's a little fireball. I'm crazy about her!!!!!!!!1

You go girl!!!!!!!!!!

Obama needs just a little more experience and then he might be able to run in the next election.

I can't believe how Hillary is behaving. She is demeaning all credibility to women by acting so inconsistent. How many personalities does she have? Men fear women becasue they think we are dangerous when we pms. Hillary is giving them more to talk about by acting hormonal!! How can she be sweet one day and behave so opposite the enxt. SHAME on Hillary for playing into the male fears!

She will take this, and she will prevail to win the nomination – or, prepare to have another 4 years of a Republican administration. There are many of us independent voters who will not vote for Obama. His polls are slipping, and folks are starting to (despite the media bias in his favor) see through his rhetoric.

Action speaks louder than words.

Obama can NOT pay for all the promises he is making to you just to get elected. He has not told anyone how he intends to pay for his programs.

Like them or hate them, the Clintons brought this country more jobs, took more people out of poverty and gave our government a surplus to work with. If NAFTA or any trade agreement is failing, it is because of the Republicans who have had majority in Congress lack of enforcing laws and stipulations of those trade agreeements.

Obama is no doubt a good man. But, he is no different than any other politician.

Charisma will not pay the bills or put food on your table. And, frankly, anyone Farrakhan endorses, I am not voting for.

Hillary '08

TEXAS – VOTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT
OHIO – VOTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT

GO HILLARY -

OHIO & TEXAS VOTE HILLARY

NOT OBAMA LETS NOT PUT BUSH #3 IN THE WHITE HOUSE

We are balancing on the precipace of global deteriation. War, famine, economy, and human rights should be the concerns we are addressing, and not the usual American political subjects of personal attacks. We finally hold the key to a new America, An America that is once again strong in this world we share with other nations...Don't get lost again America...this could be our last chance. Our goal as a nation, and as a proud people, should be to envision a Hundred years of peace for our great country, and not a hundred years of War...Obama should be the leader of this new generation of Americans...

Speaking as a middle income, white woman from Iowa, I support Barrack Obama. We gave him a great send off here now it is up to those in Ohio to put him over the top. Let's leave the Clinton machine in the dust.

Don't let the boat sink before you'll be sorry like must of us can't wait to get ride of Mr Bush, he did not do anything wrong we're the one who put him there.
If we don't think,; the same will repeat, so try to avoid it.
Give Hillary a chance at least she can really show us how powerful she is. Not that I don't like Obama he'll get my vote next time but not now.

I have friends in both Ohio AND Texas and I seriously doubt they will be backing Clinton especially after how she has been acting. Hillary hasn't spoken of ONE reason why she is so qualified nor has she answered MANY questions posed to her ( for example what happens if a person cannot pay for her MANDATED insurance) or Why she won't release her IRS records ( Obama did) UNLESS she is NOMINATED!!

She just keep ranting about nothing in order to distract people. I refuse to believe that it is working on anyone who isn't just a total Hillary groupie.

Hillary needs to bow out gracefully instead of tearing the Democratic party in two. Stop all the the Jekyl and Hyde theatrics.

Way to Go hillary! We'll vote for you. You are the most qualified candidate!

All I can say is: Obama supporters get busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always felt the Dems didn't get into Ohio enough with Kerry/Edwards, and guess what? They lost because of OHIO.

I cant wait to see the look on peoples faces when Clinton wins. Obamites are scrounging at the bit on every bit of information that leaks out about Obama and then uses it as a nasty rhetoric against Clinton. They are even when it comes to nastiness, they are mostly even when they come to politics, Obama uses other peoples plans and makes them his own. We need a leader who can lead at day one. Not a leader who needs his/her hand held to make decisions. OUT with the rhetoric in with the experience. Stop making excuses for Obama, start making real solutions for America and not this Kumbayah crap that hes somehow gonna unite democrats and make it a truly bipartisan effort, cause that is not going to happen period end of story.

HILLARY '08!!!!! ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!!

LOL, Clinton will take Ohio and in May she will take KY too.

You can't have an honest debate with him, as he is a typical politician. The problem with Obama is he doesn't answer the question.

CHANGE? Come on? Change the station...

How were you all doing when Bill Clinton was in office? I voted for him and I am proud of him and I am proud to vote for the BEST candidate: HILLARY CLINTON.

NO Obama.

I've seen nothing but signs ever since the Potomac Primaries that Hillary is losing her grip. She's desperate; it's beginning to show. She's too fickle when it comes to issues like trade which effects countless numbers in Texas and Ohio. Clinton used to be good at shining through with her policies, but she cannot unite America with her 35 years in Washington. Her campaign has been utterly devastated. As they say in politics, "momentum is everything."

Time is on Senator Obama's side. It's time for Billary to step out of the way of the Change Express or get on board.

I bet the Republicans are laughing all the way to the national election. Its such a sad time for the Democrats, to see how easily they are taken with someone like Obama. People like him have brought on wars in the past. Just think about it.

For Jwilliams, and Teh rest of skeptics who don't want vote for obama; Here is it "A satisfying food be known out oven" An African proverb to point out that obama is demonstrating a great leadership for this great country we living in for better future. More than Hillary, Obama came from very humbled and low income society who is making less than $50k and I suggest he knows better than the rest to vote for him.

For the allegation of Somalian custom dress on Obama, I suggest for everyone to look on Mohammad Yunus book, "Banker to the poor" to see the picture of HIllary R.Clinton" dress in Bangladish<<<Head to the toa!

Way To go hillary on ignoring the fact. pitty

The Polls do not show undecided. Eight days left and a lot of Unions helping Obama vigorously at the moment. Up to Saturday it will be another story. This is not good sign for Hillary, am afraid to say.

Obama is not ready to lead this country. He doesn't have clear plans and I believe Ohio and Texas are seeing that he is "hype" where as Hillary Clinton is tested and proven and ready to lead the country.

I saw Hillary Clinton in person and she was the most genuine canidate I have seen. She stayed after the media had left and talked one on one with many people who were at the rally for about 45 minutes. That is a lot more than I can say for others.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 08

Danny, TX

Ohioan should be very careful before voting for a candidate who is inspirational, but untested and certainly unproven. Hillary is the superior candidate.

NFL Not For Long. Hillary will be going back to ILL, ARC, NY or where ever she lives real soon.

I am a Clinton supporter and am happy to hear the news on the polls in OH and the recent tracking polls.

My question to my fellow Dems is what are you hearing that I am not hearing? I am hear the words hope and change and uniting – but they are the same words Bush used and had little new policy.

I want us to realize what you get when you by a new production car – you often get problems no one saw while staring at the pretty metal and listening to the new engine purring.

This all scares me.

VOTE for real and proven change – VOTE CLINTON

Thank you CNN! You are to be commended in making sure that your campaign contributions to Barack Obama have not gone to waste! Boosting Obama's visibility in only the most positive of ways while slamming his opponent and limiting her air time has been a blessing to the American people! CNN – your news reporting truly embodies the spirit of American Democracy! Go Obama!

SHAME ON YOU HILLARY!!!! SHAME ON YOU FOR MAKING US DEMS. LOOK LIKE REPUBLICANS!!!! ALL THE LIES, SMEAR, BACKBITING COULDN'T GET YOU A WIN 11 STATES AGO. TIME FOR THE NEW MAJORITY TO SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!

What this polling also shows but CNN is not reporting is that while her lead has narrowed, she has lost no ground or support but Obama has moved up a little. This is what everyone said would happen when the campains landed in Ohio to fight it out. The real story here is that despite the biased media attention to Obama, his refusal to talk issues, and dirty campaign tactics, Hillary Clinton has not lost any ground.

Also, polls here in Texas show a tight race but the numbers are not moving in anyones direction so it finally means that the media is having no influence here.

This is Texas and we are not South Carolina. We like our candidates to stir it up and prove themselves. Finally, the Clinton campaign is feeling the vibe of Texas and Ohio and being the candidate we knew she could be... a fighter.

Sorry Obama...no free rides for you here.

Poor Obama.. you're playing the same poltics like all the politians. Your new ideas are the same old ideas. Your high school rallies do not work for long. This is just a phase like one hit wonder!

Judge not, that you not be judged!! I think you all need help, Clinton and Obama can take care them self!

I guess Obama supporters do not democracy. They do not want to wait for all the states complete their primaries, the votes in Florida and Michigan are counted and then let the people decide who the nominee is. There is no rush at all. We can decide the nomination at the convention in Denver. Obama's biggest supporter the liberal Edward Kennedy went all the way to the convention even though he was trailing by 400 delegates. May be Obama needs to get some advice from his friend.

For all the Hillary supporters. I personally love Obama and wish for him as the nominee. On the other hand I am loving the Canadian dollar at almost par and if Hillary is the nominee the odds of her winning even against McCain are slim (sad isn't it). This would mean the war will continue and the US debt will quadruple by the end of the next presidents next term and who knows the Canadian dollar might over take the US dollar. MMMMMmmm what to do?

Have you seen his latest photo? I love it

Come on guys...leave Hillary alone. Most people are voting for Barack because he's black (and I can say that because I am black as well). The truth is, he's running on a "fluff" campaign. Even when invited to talk about the issues on the Black State of the Nation Program, he refused. He can't really talk about what he doesn't know-and he doesn't know economics, war, or anything thing else. Given a few years, he'll have that experience, but right now he doesn't. People keep saying that Hillary doesn't have any more experience than him-they are wrong. She's been working on political issues since the early 70's-Barack was what 8 years old at the time.

If we had a functional memory, we should remembered that President Bush promised CHANGE in his presidentail compaign. Look at what we got over the 7+ years. Now we know that he is a great salesman, not a doer to deliver his promise of CHANGE.

We all know that we need a Change in a general term. We need a person who has ability with proved achievements to deliver the CHANGE we need, We don't need a person who is a Charismatic salesman who always has a great ability to choose nice words we like to hear, however, doesn't have ability to keep their promises.

Be vigilant, people, at those charming words, please seek hard evidence in his/her history to verify someone's words.

How do we know? Do some research work and look what he or she has achieved in his/her past, then we can figure out the odds of his/her words becoming reality.

We are calling for a person who is able to deliver.

Does anyone notice that all of the postings concerning articles about Obama and Clinton are AGAINST Clinton? I just find it really odd that half of the democrats turn out to vote for her but apparently 99 percent of the CNN.com viewers hate her guts...strange..

I guess no one realizes the power of media manipulation?

We already know Nader is going to take votes from dems again so whoever wins this one is pointless now.

Any cance of the CNN talking aout the ARG poll for Texas?

we dont need a cry baby in Washington we need OBAMA!

GO BARACK

Although I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton, I think that Barack Obama can unite the country and work on our problems more effectively than she can. I truly think he can win in November!

OBAMA '08

I came from a country where we had a president who is just like Barack Obama, he was eloquent, positive, unifier, he could bring out the best in everybody who listens to him, he also lacks experience, but his campaign is very moving, he could break you down in tears, he could really make you believe that everything is within reach if we all just unite with a common purpose. And my President? Well, after winning by a landslide vote, he only served for two years as he was kicked out of office because he can't run a country........ People of America, you decide, are you going to choose someone who is eloquent but inexperienced or someone who is ready in day one?

VOTE FOR OBAMA, VOTE FOR OBAMA, VOTE FOR OBAMA,

HILLARY CLINTON HAS LOST HER MIND AND HER MONEY
SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO BECOME PRESIDENT
WE CANNOT LET HER RUN THIS COUNTRY IN THE HOLE
SHE IS WEAK AND HAVE TO HAVE HER HUSBAND TO HELP
SHE HAS A SPLIT PERSONALITY AND WAS SHOWN ON SATURDAY
SHE IS A LIAR

Hillary's tactics of fear mongering are trashy. I've waited 50 years to see a woman as President, but this woman is not fit for the position and she has proved that fact with her recent contemptible conduct. I will support Sen. Obama for the primary. Shame on YOU, Hillary. Ohio, please, don't fall for her despicable tactics.

I have no worries about the Ohio vote going to Clinton. As a resident of Ohio, I have a slightly higher opinion of our intelligence than to believe that we will be so easily influenced by negative attack ads with a deficit of facts.

News media won't win Ohio for Obama Bin Laden Ohioians are smarter than that .Obama is on a different turf now .Clinton is still ahead in Texas also .Its show she can win the biggest states !!!
And the funny thing about it is Ohio and Texas are huge Red States .

HILLARY 2008 !!!!!

obama is not the man for this job , he hasn't done anything in his state except help his own people and moved up in a nice 1.3 million home welcome to the bling bling . wake up if you vote for a change alright, but at who's benefit . think about it . vote for experience not for just a good speaker after all talk is cheap.

G. Lar, your comments about specifics shows that either you have not been listening or you are completely biased. But I suspect the latter cos my comment won't mean anything to you. Good luck with your choice.

I hope the people of Ohio realize that all the 'experience' that Clinton constatly touts is simply due to her riding on the coat tails of her husband. Aside from that, since when did experience and/or years in Washington become the sole deciding factor for who will make a great leader? As someone mentioned before, we mine as well elect Cheney as the president based on that logic.

she stinks of desperation and she is the most unlikeable candidate since....well...theres never been a more polarizing, unlikeable, political figure in the history of politics. OBAMA 08!

Hillary will never fight for the poor. She has been connected and powerful for too long. She makes many promises that will secure the white house for her, but once in, she will lose her way just as she did in her husband's administration. What has she accomplished for the poor? what has she accomplished? Period! she is all talk and definitely a good act. She is behaving like a child, mocking Obama. Is that the best she can do? Oh my God! get this woman a mirror! Ohio will hopefully see the true Hillary while she is there and will see her ridiculous behavior and childish acting out.

Go Hillary!!

The Obamabots can't brainwash everyone. I think the special apple juice is wearing off.

Hillary is the best person for the job. Obama is all hopes and dreams that are nice to have, but you can't sit around waiting to win the lottery. Reality, you have to go to work everyday. It takes a doer not a talker.

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!

I'm so tired of all the endless bickering from Hillary...instead of her focusing on her campaign she's busy trying to tear down the other side....it is absolutley sickening to watch her act like this at 60......

I would have to agree with Richy.

STICK TO THE ISSUE! You've released all your playing tactics Obama & you have nothing more! We actually don't care if you dressed up in costumes, what we are evaluating is your experience, your knowledge in fiscal policy & your tactics to sway the voters emotion to your side! People are smart enough that this is one of your dirty tactics follwing your inaccurate flyers on NAFTA & Healthcare! SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!

HILLARY is right, it is now time to evaluate the candidates based on experience and records! HILLARY is far superior than him. With so much at stake, we do not need an amateur to run the White House! In HILLARY, WE TRUST!!!

OHIO

TEXAS

WILL

VOTE

FOR

HILLARY

Ohio gave us George Bush. Now they may give us Hilary Clinton. After watching her behavior this weekend, hysterics on Saturday, making fun in the most demeaning way of Obama's inspiration on Sunday, and "picturegate" on Monday, I can't imagine what she will produce on Tuesday. She is not acting presidential.

Please Ohio, don't do it to us again.

Ya, they're also going for "Hot Head" McCain. Seems like a lot of Ohioians are afraid of real change.

This country really needs a change from the regimes that have held us hostage for the last 20 some odd years, Bush-Clinton-Bush let's not continue this same ole bull from the same ole people. Come on America let's change this thing. Go Obama!!

Charles

Hillary Clinton has nothing new to offer this country except more divisive politics. She is so obviously pre package and so programmed. Is this what you want? I am willing to try something new and I have all the confidence that Senator Obama will do a good job.Thank God he is young and refreshing. Enough of the Bushes and Clintons and Senators who have been in the Senate for ages and cannot see beyond their noses.

Hillary'08!
Please Ohio open your eyes, don't buy into Obama propaganda. Change is coming with hard work which has always been in the American spirit.

Even with Clinton maintaining a lead in Ohio CNN still has to spin it in favor of Obama. Unbelievable.

Keep in mind that these polls were taken before Obama even stepped foot in Ohio to campaign in the state. The next round of polls will be more accurate, but you have to love that he is building momentum!

Clinton may have a lead because people are reading his book, "The Audacity of Hope". I'm shocked at what I've seen in it. He doesn't think that the American people expect their government to do all that much, page 7. He doesn't think our New Deal programs go along with a globalized world, page 38. He seems to approve of "the need to raise money from economic elites to finance elections."

I'll keep posting as I keep reading.

I voted for Hillary in Texas on Saturday.

There is a large contingent of Republicans in Harris county voting against her just to screw with the Democratic nominating process and because they hate Hillary (because they've never beaten a Clinton in an election).

It won't be easy to counter all of these groups, but I expect high enough voter turnout in South Texas to overcome even the Hillary haters.

If we had a functional memory, we should remembered that President Bush promised CHANGE in his presidentail compaign. Look at what we got over the 7+ years. Now we know that he is a great salesman, not a doer to deliver his promise of CHANGE.

We all know that we need a Change in a general term. We need a person who has ability with proved achievements to deliver the CHANGE we need, We don't need a person who is a Charismatic salesman who always has a great ability to choose nice words we like to hear, however, doesn't have ability to keep their promises.

Be vigilant, people, at those charming words, please seek hard evidence in his/her history to verify someone's words.

We are calling for a person who is able to deliver.

How do we know? Do some research work and look what he or she has achieved in his/her past, then we can figure out the odds of his/her words becoming reality.

IF OBAMA WINS I WILL NOT VOTE!!!!!

Viva Clinton Viva. Viva Solutions Viva. Hillary Clinton the only one who will win the Presidency against McCain. Obama Can't ...........face it he just won't. Get real!!!

We are smelling the roses here in Ohio. We know that empty promises are not what we want. Obama has no experience, just a bunch of ideas that he has no idea how to implement.

Hillary 08

Can someone please point out Hillary's momentum for me ? All I see is a continuing erosion of support for her. It is quite humorous to see her supporters rally around polls that show her 25 point lead is now down to 10. Looks like a "cruisin' for a losin'."

I hope folks in Ohio will see the leadership Obama is demonstrating as evidenced by his well-managed campaign, his consistent message, his calm demeanor in the face of angry and scurrilous attacks, and his efforts to take the high road in case after case. It is true he has made some attacks on Clinton, but his pale in comparison to hers in terms of the "smear" factor, and have been on message and policy. He may not know as much of the ins and outs of some policies as she, but he understands the importance of character in bringing about meaningful change. There have to be lines that our leaders won't cross in terms of honesty and integrity if anything is ever going to change. That is what this country needs right now, someone with integrity, not 4-8 more years of the same old crap.

Clinton's ambition far outpaces her integrity, honesty, and forthrightness. She will not release her tax records or her White House communications, she changes her rhetoric to appeal to the political expediency of the moment (she is divisive and often downright mean!), and she represents everything this country needs to move away from: corporate interests, cronyism, and greed.

in truth, i don't think this over until the fat lady has sung her last ballad. it is getting nastier and nastier and it needs to end... i know that ohio is a conservative place and there is direct lines between races in some cities in oh. it will be interesting to see how barack will do there – i hope he wins. i think hilary's behavior as of late has been unstable – she is too gifted for such drama. i hope those that live ohio know that just because someone an incite a crowd doesn't mean they have no substance. substance is how you lead ur campaign – work from the ground up and lead by example – all of which barack has done well and hil' – not so much.

The more I know about Obama, the more I am scared of the scenario that he be the president of this country. His attitude towards free trade, which is how the US became the wealthiest country in the world, does not make any sense other than to solicit votes.

His national security policy is not going to work, probably even less effective than Bush's.

I am a hardcore democrat, but if Obama is the nominee, I may consider voting for McCain.

People now knows Change cant solve the problems of this country but solutions and Experience can help.

HILLARY 44th PRESIDENT OF USA

Obama might win Texas and may loose Ohio. That leaves the race for nomination wide open. Who says things are gonna be over after Texas and Ohio. BDW why not talk about Rhode Islands and Vermont too? They are gonna be just as important given the current neck-and-neck dynamics in Ohio and Texas.

Ya right!!! I'll vote republican b4 I vote Obama. Dont believe him-dont trust him. And if he wins, get ready for another riddddeeeeeee.....!

Here CNN I'll save you the time "your comment is awaiting moderation". Has anyone gone in lately and looked at Obama's fiscal policy? He wants to raise taxes to 38% for middle America and over 60% yes 6-0 for corporations. Now I know everyone thinks "yeah tax those rich corporations", just remember those corp's employ about 30 % of America and are required to provide benefits. You raise taxes on those companies they will exercise their NAFTA rights "brought to you by silly Clinton" and move overseas. This is why it is so easy being IND but leaning Republican. The Democrats make it way to easy with the inroads and the bickering, you are your own worst enemy.

I believe that Obama will win overall for the nomination....With all the petty bickering coming from Clinton is proof of old politics ..that actually does show some weakness to be honest....

It is not important what the polls said, Hillary is by far the most qualified candidate to bring the good old US of A out of the mess that has been caused by the Bush Administration, politics are dirty and you couldn't careless for all that has been said during the campaigns, just look at the reality, in time of crisis experience do counts, this is a presidential race, not American Idol, think it over. And for CNN, your "The Best Political Team" should read "The Most Bias Political Team", and thank you for never posted my comments.

OBAMA 08

Good luck, Hillary. Time to start another smear campaign. Obama has you beat and you know it. The American people want a leader, not someone with the maturity of a 5th grader with a chip on her shoulder and a Lobbyist in her ear.

The Bottom Line..........We Need Hillary Clinton.....
We don't have time for any "on the job training , or "lets look in the president manual" mess.
We don't have time for "wishy" "washy" messages coming from our new president.
Seven years of Bush Mess needs to be cleaned up quickly. We all know the republicans have been making out like a bandit for all this time. Do you really think they are going to easily give up all their "under-the-table money they are making?
Watch this...
Once Hillary gets the presidency, suddenly all these politicians will be suddenly resigning, retiring etc. Why?
Becasue Hillary will be exposing all their crooked mess and they don't want to be on TV, on CNN being investigated.
Watch, just Watch!

Seleta
Charlotte, NC

I am rooting for you Hillary. You have been the change agent all of these years. Not this wannabe cheap imitation of JFK. Oh please. He's still spitting pablum out of his mouth.

I think this will work, I think this will turn the tide, I took a good look at the clinton audience on TV at her rallies, and noticed that the crowds seems bored, just sitting there waiting for something exciting to happen. Then she goes into [silly season] with the snide comments.

The mocks of holy divine, and salvation. That is the only time I saw her crowds re-energized. Shame on you hillery for your religious blasphemy. Every chirstian of good decentcy should be offened by your unintelligence at 60 years old. She should have been booed like the Xerox remark,

The more educated, more financially successful supporters of the other camp are not amuzed with this kind of divisive politics. They have already made and Intelligent choice, and that is they don't want to see you show up on [ Day One!!!!!!!!! ]

I'm still waiting for some national pundit to call it what it is...as far as polls go this year. Consistently proven significantly wrong in many of the last 11 contests, why should anyone trust the numbers now? The fact is, untold and unimagined thousands of Obama supporters do not have a land line, only a cell phone (including me, a 57-year-old white man). And political pollsters can't find us.

Even if she won by the margin stated in the polls it wouldn't be enough for her to overcome his lead. She needs to win in numbers the way he beat her in Wisconsin.
If she won Ohio according to the polls they would roughly share the delegates, she would get slightly more maybe.
In Texas it's looking more and more like they will either split the difference or he'll actually overtake her.

Not quite the results she's looking for.

Hillary is still leading Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Try to spin it however you want, but it sure looks like Obama's momentum has hit a brick wall in those states.

The times they are achangin'

Go Hillary!

How has Hillary fought for the American people that make under $50,000? What has she ever fought for in the Senate? How is she ready from day one? Someone please tell me.

Why is this not the first article you read on the ticker instead of the picture article? Just wondering...CNN?

Richy from Ohion,

The campaigns have been broadcasted all through the media and the internet and you think that only now that Obama is in Ohio, then people will swtich to him.......

Seriously???????

Perhaps Clinton has a lead b/c the people of Ohio are smart and want what is best for our country and that is why they will elect hillary clinton.

Notice how Obama supporters never complain about their entries not being posted, but more and more anyone with anything negative about Obama or God forbid someone with something pro Clinton are complaining to CNN that their post aren't being posted. There seems to be a double standard here, and it's strange to see CNN behind this when they live by freedom of the press and our ability to express ourselves. I don't think it's because the post other than Obama's positive entries are so off the wall that cnn can't post them, since i've seen pro Obama entries suggest that Clinton should die. What's up CNN?

Very good, gives great inspirational speeches, says little of nothing about his record, what changes is he going to try to implement, how he is going to get the republicans to change their positions on Government health care, choice, gun control (he supports) and supreme Court nominees. Oh, I get it, he's going to wave his wand, give an inspirational speech, and part the red sea and all the right wingers will convert. It taken some time, but people are now starting to see the real Obama. All talk! I live in Texas and my wife an I have already voted. My son and daughter and their spouses are going to vote "Hillary". Obama will carry the black vote and Clinton will carry the hispanic vote. The state population is as follows: Black 11.8% and Hispanic 35.7%. the number are 2,385,000 black and 8,392,000 (thats million) hispanic.

Well for all her 35 years of experience... it's not evident in how her campaign is being run...

Ohio is tired of Obama News (CNN) and them telling us how to vote. We want someone with experience to lead this country. And good luck winning the presidential race without Ohio, if you don't win Ohio you don't become president. Obama won't ever win Ohio because people here know the difference between talk and action.

Hillary counts Bill presidency as part of her years of 'experience' so she can't run away from NAFTA.

She may of may not have said 'boon' but the positive attitude she had about it (until this campaign) is undeniable.

Appparently if you Ohioan's believe this man of plan and policy you better wake up and smell the coffee. Look at the other states where HRC won, large populated states with very logical thinking people, diverse, and smart! He has got everyone fooled with JUST WORDS. Remember California and New York to name a few, are states that understand the issues of AMERICA, due to large amounts of diverse people and very critical thinkers. CA could have told the rest of the country ahead of time their would be a housig crisis, immirgration problems, etc. It all starts in California. These states are so ahead of the other states in thinking follow them.......Thanks Nader for taking on this should stabilize the wacky voters from Obama to you! Good job Nader! Texans don't be fooled by words.... try posting this CNN

I can see the wall tilting over and Billary can't stop this movement of change!
Out with the Billary old politics of destruction and of smear campaign

In with the message of CHANGE!

OHIO – VOTE OBAMA!!!

Obama is a great speaker. Sounds like a good old tent revival minister, but that's the problem, he's all about excitement and sound bites. I wish Clinton would challenge him on specifics that will need attenton on day one. Then people would see how unprepared he is for this job at this time in his life.

Hillary Clinton is not a honest person.
She is not and never was ambivalent about NAFTA.
You can't support something, then say you don't just to win votes.
Everyone has it that she was the shot caller behind her husband presidency. He signs the NAFTA bill which George Bush now exercises.
Isn't she part of the "Clinton Machine".
If she is, then she's for NAFTA

Barack has made it clear that as a president he would expose everything to the public.
She has done everything to undermine Obama
Now that he exposes her, she is whining.
As the old saying states, "If you dig a grave for someone, you should dig one for yourself".
She plays dirty politics, now dirty politics has come to haunt her and she's hurting from the effects of it.

for Clinton to walk away from NAFTA. While her campaign contends that she was against it behind the scenes, her experience and her persona is extricably tied to the Clinton Administration, for whom NAFTA was a big legislative accomplishment. This is probably what has closed the gap in Ohio and will likely continue to cause her to bleed blue collar support unless she figures out how to distance herself from the issue more effectively. I can imagine that Obama has a NAFTA attack ad in the works.

Where did the first comment go? I know it wasn't pro-Obama, still I had hoped it would fly. I'll try again. The media calls Hillary supporters illerate. Check out the spelling of the Obama-bots. I can not beleive the slaughter of the english language by so-called college grads. I guess college is the new middle school. Is this the change we are in for? No child left behind? The old school required a command of the basics. College grads. who don't even know the basics of Civics, History or English. Obama is in the process of destroying any chance for health care reform. His swift-boat attacks on Hillarys' plan will be used against his plan. The word insurgent is not a good word to describe himself. He says he is the insurgent in this contest? I don't think I would ever use that word to describe myself, certainly not while we are fighting insurgents in Iraq.

I think that Ohioans are begining to see through Obama's empty speeches and recongnise his lack experience. He has shown that he can speak really well, but has nothing behind it. WORDS!!!!!

Go Hillary 2008!!!!!

It's just a matter of time before Obama closes the gap in Ohio or even takes the lead over Clinton. I was all about Clinton untill I got to know Obama. So, you will see her lead evaporate within these coming few days.

i think Obama's victories will end at March 4, because " CHANGE" HAS NOT ITS special meaning, other than make a picture on the wall. be real, Obama's voters!!!!!!!
Hillary 08!

Mark my words. The republicans that have been voting for Obama will not vote for him in November. The Democrats should be electing there own Presidential Candidate, we will be sorry when McCain sweeps in the General election come November.

The rest of the country that hasn't voted better start voting Clinton because she is the only one that will win in November. Look at the states Barack has won. Red states that he will never win in a general and then Mcain will take Florida and California and probably New York. So where does that leave the democrats??? Screwed again.

All of the states out there that haven't voted better think twice about propellingg Barack Obama in to position to run against McCain. He won't win!!!!

Give me a break. If this photo wasn't released by the Clinton campaign, or someone very close to it, I'd be very surprised. It certainly exhibits the kind of pettiness to which "Lady Macbeth" (pardon, Shakespeare!) and her supporters have been resorting more and more as their desperation grows. To use one of Hillary's own words, "shame!"

It is still early....Hillary may win, BUT it will be by less than 5% which won't be enough. People want change and there is too much about Hillary that is simply OLD SCHOOL politics. I expect her and her campaign to become more agressive, abrasive, and for every person they turn-on, they will turn-off two. Everyone TIGHTEN you seat belts, it's about to get ROUGH and maybe a little dirty!!!

GO HILLARY!! YOU WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What most people (especially Clinton supporters) don't realize is that even if Hillary wins both Texas and Ohio..she needs to win by A LOT..which won't happen!! If she wins by the margins the polls are reflecting SHE STILL WON'T CATCH UP!!

Obama '08

The conventional polling system is terribly flawed, which is why the results have been so out of whack. Obama has a hugely disproportionate number of supporters among blacks and, more importantly, among young people. How do pollers get their numbers? Calling homes? Many young people live with their parents, and many minorities don't own phones. This may sound like generalization, but it's a fact of life. The Decision Analyst Inc website uses a much more rigorous demographic mechanism and they've been much more accurate in the polls. They've also had Obama up by 8 points in Ohio as of a couple days ago. If the elections were today, Obama would take Ohio hands down.

As an Obama supporter. I feel bad for Hillary. She is trying so hard and their really isn't nothing terribily wrong with her campaign. I know it must be frustrating for her and her supporters.

Why havent you guys in the media just come out of the closet and DEMAND eveyone vote for Obama. Like we get a say in it anyways.

You guys HAMMER away at voters thru brainwashing for months. Why bother? Just tell em straight out to vote for your choice. At least its more honest.

With Shrillary Clinton's negative actions and her behavior in the last few days, I believe she will lose many voters. If she keeps it up for another week, the America will see the true side to Shrillary Clinton. Her negative campaigning and dirty political tactics will backfire. America wants CHANGE.

Also, "the polls" showed Winsconsin to be in a dead heat slightly favoring Clinton. Yet, Barack Obama was able to win Winsconsin by 17 points. So, as far as "the polls" go, I wouldn't put too much stock into them.

HILLARY 08"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll see at this rate Obama will probably win by 11 points.

Hillary is the most qualified candidate for President, and people in Ohio know it!

Don't listen to the hot air! Vote for a TRUE LEADER!
!
HILLARY CLINTON 200

I have, on this site, urged people to tone down their responses. It seems like people too often are getting caught up in their emotional reaction to these campaigns. But I'm a NY democrat, and after what's been happening this week, I will never cast another vote for Hillary Clinton ever again. How's that for hyperbole?

obama does not have the needed respect to become our President.

He refuses to wear the AMERICAN FLAG lapel pin.

During the National Anthem, he refused to place his hand over his heart.

This is offensive to me, because what other liberal things does he really think of in his dark sided inner most thoughts.

obama if you want to help out, then go back to the senate and you and ted kennedy can come of with some gem things.

Considering that Obama hasn't even started campaigning very much in Ohio..and he is closing in already. We'll see what happens when the voting really starts. I think Hillary is grabbing at straws right now mocking Obama, trying to make fun of his appearence, and things of that nature. Its the last gasp of her campaign cause obviously she can't argue any issues against Obama. She has lost it.

this ohian is voting for HILLARY. barack is speaking at my school in 20 minutes, and i couldn't care less. i saw hillary over the weekend and it solidified my position.

Wrong........ Ohio Loves Hillary. Wait and Witness !

Ohio like all the remaining states should put their states in the winning columns on the map. Lets stand up for Hope and Change!

Ohioans and Texans – do we really know Obama? A lot of things coming up lately about him and his wife are a little concerning and should not be ignored. Given the current economic conditions, can we really afford 'experimentation' ? With Hillary or McCain we at least know what we are singing up for. With Obama there are too many unknowns.
Think and vote!

Can I tell you how turned off I am by Hillary Clinton. I was a little frightened last week at the end of the debate, when she actually put on a loving face. I thought oh no.....what if that works? Because her mean, negative face was sending her down a road that I don't think she expected. But, fear not, she has done it again, and it will be followed up with Obama's 11th and 12th wins in a row....mark my words.

I am keeping my fingers crossed Ohio that you will come out and vote for Barack Obama. Let's make Obama the democratic nominee now so that he can concentrate on beating McCain in November.

I've had enough of the Hilary mud-slinging. It's amazing how "nice" she is when he is sitting beside her, but when he is out of sight she starts slamming him. Hilary, if you don't have the backbone to lie to Barack's face, then don't lie at all.

Obama is a fine presidential candidate, but his plans seem actually be modified versions of plans put forward by Edwards or Clinton first. I think the bottom line is really this, however, we dems have two candidates that are extremely similar and yet we are voting for the one with less experience? Republicans picked the guy they "liked" the most last time, instead of (McCain) the guy who we know reaches across the aisle. Obama is more liberal than Clinton, and I guess I like my presidential candidates to be closer to the middle – like the rest of us!

I'm telling you, I think Hillary is the favorite in Texas and Ohio. I mean, that's what we got over here. Based on what other people think is not the same as ours. I'm telling you, Hillary SHOULD do good in those states..............NO EXCUSES!

he was closing the gap in california too, then after the debate she whooped him.

This can be done!!!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear God help us all if Obama wins

I'm here in Ohio and I'm for Obama. I don't know anyone who isn't so that causes me to wonder who they are polling.

Why is CNN concentrating their covergage on Ohio.

Remember Texas where Hillary MUST WIN!

February 25, 2008 – Texas Primary Preferences
Texas
Democrats Feb 13-14... Feb 23-24

Clinton 42% .....................42%
Obama 48% ....................50%
Someone else 3% 2%
Undecided 7% .................6%

Look out Hillary "The Eyes of Texas are Upon You!

As of today Hillary is down 8 points! After you campain staff's racial attack on Sen. Obama this morning my guess is you will lose by 12% .

Don't let the polls in Ohio fool you either. Hillary is aware that the people of OHIO know who ruined their job base with support for NAFTA! Bill and Hillary! That's who.

I truly think what is going on with mrs Clinton is awful. i guess they will do anything to win. I hope people can see this.

The Clinton camp are resorted to negative adds and personal attachs,but nothing,nothing will save them from being history except History itself.

Obama can afford to lose by a small margin in Ohio. He will win Texas by an equally small margin thus signaling the end of the Clinton campaign. I would have voted for her if she wasn't so two-faced and would have abandoned her "I deserve to be President, its my turn!" attitude. Those two things cost her my support and my money.

Proud Obama early voter in Texas

My mother, a Midwest retired teacher and housewife in her late 60's I use as the bell weather average American feeling....and she HATES Hillary. Can't stand to see her speak, or even look at her face. She finds her abrasive, and polarizing. If I can agree with my mother then something is afoot.

Obama is known as a newcomer celebrity in modern American politic.Do not be too obsessed with his good speeches and words.We need a real leader to lead this great nation facing many challenges ahead.We can't efford for on-job-training commander-in-chief in this critical moment.

Wake up, People of Ohio,Texas & PA!! Save Obama for the next 8 years.

Vote for Hillary to save the America!!

Obama is a good candidate for change and the white house, Hillary we are tried of the name calling, and picking at a person like a child, get to the issues.

Richey, the trouble is, the more you really listen to Obama, the more you realize his message lacks substance (when he gives details, they are "borrowed" from Hillary) and his political career is lackluster at best. Simply being a "community organizer" is not a huge accomplishment and certainly not enough to suggest he's ready for the presidency.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA for 08. guys, it is time for a change of practice in the white house. Voting for Hillary is voting for corruption. She takes lobbyist money and how do you all expect her to pay them back. Use your brains and ask her to show her voters her tax returns. Out of everyone running, she is the only one who is refusing to show them. That's what French people call cache-cache. Making decision with door closed. A bon entendeur Salut.

Though I believe that Clinton probably still has a lead, polls are troublesome this day in age.

Why? Well a huge portion of Obama's base is a cell phone only crowd. These folks are often not included in polling. My guess is her lead is more like 5-6 percent.

Hillary,
C U next Tuesday...

It is time for Dean and the DNC to rein in Clinton. She is becoming outrageous with her smears, mocking, and scorched earth campaign.

She is tearing apart the party...doing 'ANYTHING' to win!

She has lost the respect of many Democrats and Independents alike and CAN NOT win against McCain.

Stop the madness!!!

A 10-point difference won't help Hillary much. She has to win both Ohio and Texas by a landslide before she can catch up with Obama. In other words, it's only a problem to Obama if her lead widens.

That's not likely because lately her fangs are starting to show. Like that "Meet me in Ohio" comment she made.

Let's be real about this. Obama is no goody-two-shoes. He's just as sneaky and devious as she is, if not more. Psychologically, he has her by the you-know-whats. If he attacks her, as long as he keeps calm, she will scream. That's when she rhymes with "rich".

On the other hand, if she attacks him, she's even worse. Either way, he gains more supporters.

This guy is even slicker than Bill Clinton, because we all know what happened in South Carolina.

Imagine that: A candidate that can outsmart both Clintons at the same time, at their own game, and his you-know-what still doesn't stink!

And you think he can't beat the Republicans??? He makes Karl Rove look like Pee-Wee Herman!

I getting so tried of the name calling get to the issues at hand and Hillary so trying to run a negative campaign. Stop it already I know if I'm getting tired of it rest of america is.

Greece votes OBAMA

People are starting to see Barack differently. They see that he lacks specifics in his proposals, and that he has a lot of bad ideas when it comes to foreign policy toward Cuba, Pakistan, trade and the middle east.

I think these numbers are going to start changing as people realize that Barack simply needs more experience before he can be president. There's no time for on-the-job training, or foolish mistakes during a first term.

Hey, uh : Let me remind you all that Texas and Ohio are 'just as crucial' to the 'CNN" Candidate (if you know what I mean- do you?)..

So, I suggest -- You begin 'expressing' that 'if' Hillary happens to win, as you are praying she won't – These 'two states ' ARE 'JUST AS CRUCIAL' to Barrack H. Obama as Hillary... A MOUNTAIN IS BEAUTIFUL IF YOU CAN SEE 'BOTH SIDES' AND NOT JUST ONE 'SLOPE'...
Have a good day ladies and gentlemen...
Frank Pignone

For me I will vote for a candidate who is open. Obama is vague and you don't know what he stands for except change. Anything can be a change but do you want it?

Hooray Hillary! I believe you will take Ohio by a large lead as well as Texas!!! You're the one who they can count on to do something substantial in their state and not more talk about the talk Obama. This is a great day for Democrats!

Yes! Hillary leads in the Ohio polls one week out over Obama by 10 to 11 pts. These polls were conducted between Feb. 17 to 23rd. The polls don't distinguish that Obama swept Wisconsin and Hawaii contests on Feb 19th and the Democrats Abroad contest post Feb. 19th. Hopefully these polling results will make Hillary's camp more comfortable and lazy, meanwhile us Obama supporters and volunteers have to get even more busier.

Obama in '08!

I urge all Ohioans and Texans to vote for "Change". We've been in a Bush/Clinton presidency for 20 years folks. Do we need to add another 4 to that and make it a quarter century? Let's get out of this rut we're in and get some new blood in to make some new changes. Please please vote Obama for President!

COME ON HILLARY!

Hillary should support Obama and call for unity among democrats. Otherwise, Nader and McCain will give the White House to the GOP.

The ghost of NAFTA will meet you in Ohio Hillary.

RIcky I am so sure you know everything.You are voting for a know Brain Idoit. So we know how much you know, sounds like very little.

Like all the polls this poll is going to change clinton lead 51- 40 percent to obama lead 65 -35 on march 4. I Garanted.

Obama 08

I am from Ohio and this is Obama country.....

Don't worry Barack, help is on the way!

Bill Clinton is in Ohio to explain why he sent Ohioans jobs' out of country under NAFTA. Hopefully someone will ask him or Hillary toexplain how many workers Hillary denied good wages and benefits too while on the Board at Walmart and why her chief political advisers formerly were union busters.

It will tighten more within the next week. Just like it has everywhere else!!! With Hillary's lastest rounds of attacks, she will lose more support than she will gain.

OBAMA08!!!!!!

Obama, much as I like, him does not have the experience needed to be president. He has only been in the Senate three years and has no foreign relations experience..no economy experience and no real political experience. In a peacetime race, perhaps he could limp through...but not in today's world.

I'm not sure why they closed the comments on the previous article but...

I want a President with a little fight in em. I want someone who is willing to take a stand (not just vote present and try and sweet talk everybody). And finally after so many months into this he's finally getting the some bad press. If this press had started in January TX and OH would be merely a formality and not a dog fight. Again, Obama should quit and fallow his true calling, a televangelist or a motivation speeker. But Mr. President, no, no, no!

Mrs. President, she's my choice all the way.
Texas is behind you Hillary! We love you.

ALERT…WANT INFO ON PETER PAUL /HILLARY CLINTON COURT CASE IN CALIFORNIA…IT IS UNDER WRAPS RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF HILLARY RUNNING FOR PRES……..IT IS A MUST SEE.

YOU TUBE……………..2 UNCENSORED VIDEOS….WHAT HILLARY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE….IT IS THE TRUE CLINTONS, AT THEIR BEST DECEIVING PEOPLE….

THE REPUBLICANS WILL BURN HER WITH THIS, IN A GENERAL ELECTION WITH MUCH, MUCH MORE..

Attention to Ohio/Texas Voters:

If you're young, if you're black, if you have a graduate degree, or if you think the Iraq war authorization was a tragic mistake- remember that the election is actually on Wednesday, not Tuesday.

Best Regards,

Hillary

Obama, that s true, YOU R ABOUT "JUST WORDS" but words do not change anything, experience and character do so, and that s what Hillary has.
It seems that many people are being brainwashed by the fairytales told by Obama.
Hillary is our best chance to make a difference and restore our economy ( if you remember, we are entering recession) It took a Clinton to clean a mess, it will take another to solve our problems.
Hillary, we r with you!
Hillary estamos contigo!
Hillary for President!
Hillary Presidente!

Why did Caroline Kennedy state that Obama reminded her of her
father? Could it be that Obama read news reports and campaign
speeches of past presidents. A film was shown on one news program of a campaign speech made by John F. Kennedy. The
words that he used were almost identical to the words that Obama
is using. Could this be why Caroline Kennedy feels that he reminds her of her father? Could this be how he won over the Kennedys'
support! It was after this that Obama began to make his move to be
where he is now. America should be made aware of this! Also, the
Kennedys and the Voters. Please analize this and make me wrong!!

Ohio wants the REAL DEAL and that's HILLARY! OHIO ROCKS!!!!

WEll, we will wait and see the results................dont we.
No matter what, I have to say that If Ohio elects the one person who has sent man of its man, and women to an inexcusable war, and if they vote for hte same woman who has cheered for NAFTA and big companies who have taken the people of Ohio's job, then who are we the rest of the country to say anything...

I hope they remember: HILLARY voted for the Iraq war............ and Hillary not only cheered and supported NAFTA but she will continue to do so, she does not care about the workers.............. if OH does not vote for her, mark my words: she will say that those dont count anyway and that ONLY FL AND MI Count............mark my workds, and I HOPE CNN publish this..

Obama 08!!! Yes we Can!!

Polls vs. people that will take the effort to go out and vote when something comes up = give Obama about 5 more percentage points.

But we'll see when the time comes.

Hillary seemed comfounded

since it is so easy Hillary, Bring in the crouds.

Bill and Obama connect with people. You connect with data.
Know your role, and you will be a benefit to all.

Obama and Bill Inspires

You make an audience want to retire.

However, You skill are appreciated and needed in other ways.

Ohio is not going to be label again as the state that dropped the ball for change and not more of the same.

Obama 08

"Change, Change, Change... more like "Blah, Blah, Blah..."

Hillary will carry BOTH Texas and Ohio! (totally different playing field.)

Go Hillary!!!

Obama led the polls in Wisconsin. But Hillary is in the lead in Ohio now...I expect Hillary to win big in Ohio by 10 points. Obama did lead by a few points in Wisconsin but won by over 17 points. Clinton's lead is bigger than the poll suggests according to the analysis.

The Quinnipiac poll people said the lead in Ohio is "substantial."
Let me write your headline: CLINTON HAS SUBSTANTIAL LEAD IN OHIO. Such a headline would regain credibilty for CNN. Remember the world is looking at and judging your coverage. You are a showcase of US fair-play.

Go Hillary -08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She just needs to keep the ranting going, showing her true colors and making a complete idiot of herself for the next 10 days.....and soon it will be neck and neck. Careful what kind of free advertising you wish for Hillary.....you just might not want what you get!

GOBAMA!!!!!

Polls shmolls! The only one that matters is on March 4th. I believe in the people of Ohio and Texas to make the right choice.

GObama '08!

I believe the good people will vote for the RIGHT person.

Democratic Candidate TX OH
Date 2/20-21 2/20-21
Barack Obama 57% 54%
Hillary Clinton 43% 46%

This is from USA Election Polls

Obama is enjoying a 14 point lead in Texas and a 9 point lead in OHIO.

State ALL THE POLLS CNN!!!!!

i hope she wins the nomination , she is much better placed to tackle the serious issues facing us all , i am African black male by the way and emotionally much attached to Obama hence his father is from my community ,but pray for her as a smart capable female to lead the world for the first time , this is the real chance for real "change " .. will not get such chance in the foreseen future pls america dont let it slip of our hands .. my relative Sen Obama is better wait for his chance the other time around..

Hillary is so upset someone else is stealing her show, the problem is, she never had one to begin with.

Last week hillary told reporters that she “had no idea” that the Texas primary system was “so bizarre” (it’s a primary-caucus hybrid), adding that she had “people trying to understand it as we speak.”....it is getting a little late, isn't it??? Has her campaign learned anything from their humiliating experience after getting all that money from PACs and big corporations, and using the Clintons' influence of 35 years????

Have voters learned anything from her vitriol and divisive tactics????

I can't wait to compare these results with the actual results.

These polls do not factor in youths and those that haven't voted before...both camps that can at the very least force a delegate tie, which has happened nearly every 'victory' that Clinton has had.

The only chance Clinton has left is clear decisive victories by at least 20 points in every contest left. And that's not going to happen. If she only ties or barely wins in Ohio or Texas, then she's got as much chance as Huckabee, and she's not nearly as entertaining.

Now I suppose CNN will say Obama is taking over Ohio...that every poll where he was behind, he managed to catch up and win....but let's push the fact his 11 wins were MOSTLY REPUBLICAN STATES where he does NOT have a prayer of winning in November.

Look at Idaho...11,000+ Democrats showed compared to 30,000+Republicans

Funny how CNN is learning to MAKE THE NEWS instead of actually reporting it.

CNN–YOU HAVE SCUTINIZED CLINTON TO DEATH...ISN'T IT TIME YOU DID THE SAME THING FOR OBAMA?????

We Ohioans are begining to know Obama and recognise his plan and policy. he has shown us he will be a good president and a good Leader. I believe in few days before the primary many who have not know him just like i was before will know him and his plan of presidency and accept to vote for him. He is the right Man for change. TRUELY OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Pray for our country and I hope Hillary wins she has better programs than Obama.our Country need a fighter for the American People that make under $ 50.000. She had proven herself many time and will again!!!!!
go Hillary

For her to hold on to this lead is truly remarkable given the weeks since Super Tuesday. I think the race will be far from over on Mar 4, and that Senator Clinton will have narrowed Senator Obama's lead considerably.

With all due respects to the POLLS, this was the same in Wisconsin and we saw how that went in a lopsided thumping the other way.

I don't see how this will be different and I ask all the OHIO democrats to smell the Roses and vote for CHANGE we all can believe in.

It's on you...

obama should win this election, think guys

That was a great photo of HIllary in Rhode Island.
She reminds me of Eva Perón.
She should have gone for an Oscar nomination instead.

Hillary stood before the people of Ohio and spoke about how wrong it was that so many jobs were moved overseas (something that she supported earlier in her career), and now she wants to fix it if they vote for her. . . . . . And the people cheer and clap.

To me, it is no different than her cutting off my hand and telling me that it was wrong, and that if I vote for her she will fix it.

I guess some people are so desperate for work that they have forgoten who helped them become unemployed in the first place.

Of course she's down from the the polls taken on the 12th,but she's up in the polls taken since the 22nd.You could've stated that.Are you afraid you might give her momentum. CNN you should be ashamed.It's been very obvious who you don't want to win,and your ratings willshow that soon.

Hillary Clinton start with dirty tricks..so she will be also a dirty President.

Hillary the HOPE of 08

Maybe Ohio and Texas won't be smitten by the girlie guy. He is quite effeminate in a cute, whiney, coy way.

McCain is macho by comparison and come to think of it so is Bush.

Barack would never win in the general. His thoughts are mostly embellished copies of Hillary or someone else.

Its Hillary or stick with the Republicans!

I hope my fellow Democrats in Ohio are smart enough to see through the Clinton BS machine by next Tuesday.

Please, please, please. NO MORE CLINTONS; NO MORE BUSHES.

There is a good chance she may not win both of those states on March 4th. Hillary is panicking right now, and her campaign has fell apart. She can't manage her campaign, how can she manage the United States.

She should just quit after 11 loses in a row.

if Billary gets elected President GOD help us all.....moving to another country would be better for the average taxpayer

Wake up, people! We are electing a President, not a head cheerleader!

Obama is too inexperienced and too partisan (check his voting record) to be President!

Pep rallies don't win the game. Actions on the field win the game!

OBAMA IS CLOSING IN. LATEST ARG POLL RELEASED TODAY SHOWED THAT HE IS LEADING CLINTON 50 TO 42 IN TEXAS. HE ALSO GAINED 10 POINTS IN OHIO NARROWING THE DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD CLINTON HAD 2 WEEKS AGO AS SEEN IN THE Quinnipiac University POLLS. AS HE TAKES HIS CAMPAINE TO OHIO, IT MAY TURN INTO A DEAD HEAT.

RASMUSSEN WILL RELEASE TEXAS POLLS LATER TODAY.

NAFTA and the most-favored trade agreement with China by the Clintons hurt the people of Ohio in a large scale.
Are they so misinformed?

I hate this woman. Someon should throw her out of the Dem. Party.

Obama is closing fast! I think if he's competitive in Ohio and wins Texas, this race is just about over. Time to unify the Dems for November and taking back the White House!

OBAMA 08

She allegedly had a 7 point lead here in Wisconsin on election day and she got TROUNCED!!! Don't hold your breath for a win or you'll die waiting!

People know a fake with a borderline personality disorder in a bad pant suit when they see and smell one. Personally, I'd like to see her in a straight jacket in a padded cell!

OHIO FOR HILLARY !!!!

NOOOOOOOO BAMA!!!

It is all over but the crying and blame from clintons.....

Hillary will eventually win this nomination. Obama is all rhetoric, big speeches and big rallies, and no substance. I am African American and I am in full support of Hillary Clinton.

Way to Go Hillary! We will vote for you!. You'll be the next president of United States of America!

I wish someone would step in and stop this child like play that's going on between these two camps. I must say I'm a little dissappointed and would hope that someone would take the high road. It's an embarrasement to our democratic party. Let's just stick to the issues, and leave the nonsense at alone.

Oh no! Hillary is leading on Ohio? Quick, CNN, get on the ball!! ...you can fix that easy, can't you?

What a joke....even Saturday Night Live was laughing at how biased you are for Obama. And the millions that drink the Kool Ade don't even seen it. I guess PT Barnum was right.....there's a sucker born every minute.

Great news for Hillary and the Democratic Party!

She's got it now and she can take it all the way to victory with the help of great states like Ohio and Texas.

Rhode Island and Vermont too would make it a complete success on March 4th. Come on Vermont!

anyone interested in posting anything pro clinton or negative for Obama should find another forum, CNN is more concerned with seeing pro Obama crap written in their blogs than anything real or of substance. so obama supporters you have your forum, everyone else go to naders home page and have something to say that isn't cut out just because it doesn't put a bright angelic light on Obama.

Bill Clinton tells voters Hillary needs to win Texas and Ohio or she's done. Down in the polls what can the Hillary campaign do to scare up some votes? Oh yes, have them show a photo of Obama in Kenya accepting a gift of tribal wear. Yes, who cares how dirty of a campaign trick that is. We need those states!!

Pathetic, huh?

Shouldn't the headline be "Clinton holds lead in Ohio, but Obama catching up" or something then? The word "hold" is kind of a weasel word that implies things haven't changed, but they have clearly changed.

Here again is the obvious bias by the media toward Hillary. Last weeks poll had her only 7 points up in Ohio and it now seems she is stretching her lead since the debate, but they use polls from a a few weeks ago to show he is closing.

She will lost it, especially after all the negative attacks. Very unbecoming of a future Commander in Chief. Her lead is shrinking and she knows it.

Not sure how much polls mean these days.

I hope the upcoming debate will have some defining questions posed to the candidates. I would like an explanation by Clinton on her stand of NAFTA. I would like to hear from Obama what is feels about belonging to a separatist church that as a non-negotiable commitment to Africa and what connection that may have to a bill he has co-sponsored, the Global Poverty Act where billions of dollars would be send to countries where people earn less that $1.00 a day - that's over and beyond our current spending! Could Africa be one of those countries?

I thought it was about winning big states like texas....

"After 11 straight Obama wins, the Clinton campaign has said that victories in Ohio and Texas are crucial to the New York senator's White House hopes".

So do Obama!

WHOO HOO! Go Hillary I'm voting for you in Texas on the 4th.

If I'm not mistaking, Clinton was holding leads in every state was'nt she? ummmmm!!! Go Obama you still have my vote, hang in there man, the fight is just beginning. It will get worse before it get better. Don't let the Clinton camp distract you now. I am on the Obama ride to the end. Hold on tight cause it will get crazy.

Cann't be!

Way to go Hillary! Keep fighting to make America a better nation and keep letting the voters know you have the right issues and goals, the details on how to acheive them, the intelligence, the experience, the strength, and the guts to get the job done. You are a tireless workhorse who deals in ideas and reality. No wonder your polls are hanging in there. Keep fighting, Girl, America needs you, now more than ever before.

March 4th can't come fast enough for her, for if her lead continues to fade at this pace she will either lose or win by so little that it won't effect the delegate count. It looks more and more as if the events of March 4th will lead to the death of HRC's campaign.

If hillary get the nomination, I am voting republican. If it is about experience then John mccain got it. It is that simple!

here she comes you all. Evil is making a come back.

This would be a story if the headline read: "Clinton Holds Lead in Ohio, Texas"...

When it's time to vote the media will make sure Obama has the edge. Even if he doesn't all the fake negative polls they put out will keep a lot of Clinton supporters home. If the media would report only the facts Hillary would be ahead but we all know this will not happen.

Yeah I don't get it–if there's nothing wrong with those clothes, why does he care about the picture. Obama's getting silly

hillary,clinton.will.go.all.the.way.i.know,she,will

Dont fall for the hype. Obama just repeats what Hillary says, watch the Texas debate and you can clearly see it. He doesnt have a clue what to do except penalize people who dont carry his healthcare insurance policy on kids. Obama said there is no excuse for not paying for health insurance for your children and there should be penalties. I guess if you are unemployed, on disability or welfare, you are going to get hit the hardest.

Hillary you our will be our President!
Hillary tu seras nuestra Presidente!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT !

You have the experience and the skills to make a great President and improve both our economy and our healthcare system.

Hillary, we are with you!
Hillary, estamos contigo!

These polls do not seem to make any sense. Hillary is not only dividing the country, she is dviding the family.

CLEAR SOLUTIONS FOR AMERICA!
OHIO IS TOO SMART TO BE FOOLED~

AND Pennsylvania is ready to vote too!

Hillary O8'

Come on Obama supporters why don't you add your comments to this ticker? Is it because CNN put something positive about Hillary and you can't take it?

So why isn't CNN reporting that that same ARG poll in Texas shows Obama now leading? Very selective reporting CNN.

I watched the State of the Black Union on sat. It was unbiased and well done. Praise to Tavis-Job Well Done. Obama's refusal to attend was a big mistake. The message was I visit when I need your vote, but otherwise No thank s. For you who do not understand this forum, the State of the Black Union presents a covenant of issues important to people of color to whomever become President. For all you people making excuses for OBama, shame on you. Are you still going to be making excusing for him if he wins the Presidential election. I am a Black woman, and I will be voting for Hillary based on the content of her compaign. I have not heard 1 solution of any issues by Obama. He has consistently extracted issues presented by HC, and made it his own. He have followed these candidates from the begining, and I know by memory each person's speech. Good Luck and God Bless.

Go Hillary!!!

Hillary and her campaign Manager Maggie have been a shame to women with their latest tactics. If a lead exists, it will not be for long. That is unless Ohio is xenophobic and can not see through the dirty games of hate the Clinton campaign has played,

This has been the case for the last 11 primaries. He is down, then comes to a tie, and then realitiy sets in when 60% to 70% of the votes go to Obama. She is not the canitade I want in my and your white house. I really don't listen or take a poll for fact. I wish today were March 4th so she could go home and enjoy retirement with Bill.

Hey Hillary!,
Watch out Hillary, the Obama ship is coming, and it is running at fasta speed that you won't even know what hit you. Remember this is Obamania wind blowing, so please, fasten your seat belt- its going to be roughride... and please tell Bill to tighten the seat belt cause this gonna be a blow out .

Ohio: Let's take a stand against this crummy politics of blame, of labeling, of cronyism, and of saying anything and doing anything to get elected, that's made us all so cynical. I'm so sick of this over-dramatization, bickering– it's such a turn-off– let's elect someone who wants to bring the country closer together, not further divide it apart. Clinton is the same as George Bush in the sense that "it's us against them" and "we will fight them to the end"– we need progress, not stalemates.

And, simply, we're stronger together than apart.
Obama 08

OF Course CNN has to point out something Pro- Obama in EVERYTHING!!!!!

Love how CNN just had to get some dig in on Clinton. Couldn't publish something positive about her, that would be bad for your man Obama.

HILLARY
GET OUT WHY YOU CAN SAVE FACE
ALL YOUR RUNNING BAEACK DOWN IS ONLY TAKING YOU DOWN FUTHER. DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS BY NOW. I WOULD VOTE REPUBLICAN BEFORE I WOULD VOTE FOR ANOTHER CLINTON. I AM FROM AR AND YES I SEEN ON TV THE GARNIISHED WAGES FOR INS. IF NESSARY, AND NAPTA, YES YOU WERE INVOLVED.READ YOUR BOOK. AND YOU MANAGE YOUR CAMPAIGN MONEY POORLY. ALTHOU YOU WANT SHOW YOUR TAX RECORS, HILLARY WHAT HAPPEN TO ALL THE MONEY INCLUDING ON THE CLINTON LIABRIY.NO MORE MONEY OF MINE WILL GO IN THE CLINTON ACCOUNT

Hillary 08 – you raised 2.2 million over the weekend! Hillary is in full effect!

Ohio is more important to the Democratic nomination than Texas. Texas will be a deep red state in the general election, but Ohio is a true swing state.

Obama's winning swing states have been Missouri, Virginia, Iowa, and Colorado.

Hillary has won New Hampshire, Arizona, New Mexico, and Florida.

I am soooo hoping Hillary makes a good showing in ohio and Texas and those unimportant little states. By keeping the delegate count close, we stand a great chance to see what the Democrat party is made of between the last primary & the nomination @ the Democrat Convention. It will be a real eyeopener ... you go girl!

McCain '08

She may lead now, but after posting the picture of Obama in Islamic garb, her number may be up. How low can you go? I hope the people in Ohio really take a good look at her and the people around her to see what they will be getting if she wins.

If Hillary wins, she still needs to win by 20%. Hillary can't do it.

Clinton will take Ohio. I hope she takes Texas as she has a history of committment to the Latino community. Obama has no history of committment to anything but his own interests – which are mostly focused on Blacks. Obama is only taking an interest in Latinos so he can get their vote. He even seems uncomfortable in front of a Latino audience – like he doesn't know how to act. The whole thing is disgusting.

Funny, they support the candidate that helped close their factories!!

I guess it's true what they say about Clinton supporters being less educated.

Four years from now they'll still be walking around in a stupor looking for work.

She may win Ohio but I doubt Texas. She may even win both Ohio and Texas with tiny margins, so tiny it would be miningless and have no effect on the innevitability of Obama becoming the norminee.

She can quit gracefully now and retain what remains of any good will she has among democrats.

Go Hillary, we CAN and WILL do this!

I wonder which parts of the state she is doing best and worst?

Hillary will not win Texas!

GO HILLARY!!!

WE HAVE YOUR BACK GIRL!!! HOLD YOU HEAD UP HIGH!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!

Keep holding that lead Hillary, and thank you Ohio voters for not drinking the Kool-aid!!!

About time! We needed to see this kind of campaigning much earlier and especially during the last debate. People need to realize the challenges behind the rhetoric. Hopefully it is not too late for Hillary.

A lead which I am sure will disappear soon. Just looking at the headlines in the ticker, I see CNN's onslaught has picked up again and, as usual, the primary will be handed to Sen. Obama on a silver platter. What a joke the coverage of this primary has been...

"CNN you're so biased! Why won't you show that Hillary is in the lead in polls??"

Waa waa waaaaaa... there ya go! Could you stop whining now?

She is a fighter and will fight for ALL of us! Go Hillary – Go Ohio and continue to lead the way with Texas and the other states to join!!!!!

People should take note of Ohio, they seem to understand the REAL issues that confront us today. Go get em Hillary !!!

She's going down and wants to take us all with her.

Polls don't mean anything. You have already seen that CNN.
