CNN

When is CNN going to get back to reporting the news and stop trying to make it. I must have heard Wolf Blitzer say the word "Obama" 10,000 times in the last month. No wonder he has momentum. He is the media darling and like teflon, nothing sticks to him. He is not a self made man, but a media made man and it is scary to think that he could be the next president and we don't really know anything about him.

YOU TEXANS MIGHT THINK THAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH OBAMA...

If you do , you could not be more wrong . McCain ...the so called "straight talker" has more sides than MELS DINER and you (((AGAIN))) WILL HAVE SHOT YOURSELF RIGHT IN THE FOOT !

But go ahead , I'm not a republican anymore ... so I don't care if you do .

how long are you going to cry about this empty suit theory, Republicans can not stand McCain

Why aren't the MINUTE MEN that should be CLEANING UP CNN AND FOX ?

Obama will never win against McCain. Even if he wins, he will be another Carter. After Carter, it took 20 years for Democrats to win back the WH. If Obama is the nominee, please vote for McCain. It is better that way for the Democrats.

Senator Obama would be an excellent nomination in representing the Democratic party in the 2008 Presidential race. In each deabate he has maintained poise, confidence, character and remained committedand focused on his platform of "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN." He hasn't displayed multple personalities...What has behooved me is how people continually sit on their carcusses and complain about soaring prices of gas, water, electric, healthcare, insurance(s), personal debts, cost of education, food, farmers, industry, etc...and then share sarcastic rhetoric by saying...."What has he changed? What has he done?" The reason many of you can't name one thing he has accomplished is because of LACK OF EDUCATION...Referencing the commercial that ran years ago..."Why can't Johnny read?"...Many of you are Johnny ...if you can't read that's one issue, if you can it's another!... You have to study to show yourself approved..Senator Obama has done a lot of studying ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR COUNTRY and accomplished much in a span of twenty years. The reason anyone when asked (BY THE MEDIA) can't answer anything about Obama's accomplishments is because YOU HAVE NOT STUDIED OR LEARNED ANYTHING about his political background , biography, platform, civic, and or community accomplishments. Senator Obama is well versed in law making. He understands politics. Many of you who are allowing yourselves to be swayed and or polarized by unfounded truths should study for yourselves. Don't allow other's to shape your heart or mind. If you know he's tugged at your heart, or your mind with an issue of concern then chances are your VOTE FOR OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT can be an opportunity in him being nominated as the next President of the United States.
" WV Moma for Senator Obama"

Get over Obama supporters. Give examples of why is he so experienced to run the U.S., Nada. In last night's debate he had to stutter and stumble over his words. Hillary is the best candidate and America needs to come out of their hypnosis of the Obama flowery buttermilk talk and realize what he really is.

Democrats MUST come together in November. Do we want another eight years of George and Dick?!? Support whomever wins between Obama and Hillary in November.

IRS is onto Obama:

(What is it about Constitutional law that the lecturer does NOT understand????)

(from ABC News today):

:The IRS is investigating the United Church of Christ over a speech Sen. Barack Obama gave at its national meeting last year after he became a candidate for president, the denomination said Tuesday.

In a letter the denomination received Monday, the IRS said "reasonable belief exists" that the circumstances surrounding the speech violated restrictions on political activity for tax-exempt organizations. The denomination has denied any wrongdoing."

everyone needs to simmer down about this "free ride" that obama is getting. seriously, its getting old. i understand that y'all think it's cool to go against the grain, refuse to give in to what everyone else is thinking (obama08). but honestly, if obama is only "hot air" and an "empty suit" then why has he won 11 in a row? why has he raised more money than any other candidate, almost all of it from small donors? why is he speaking to crowds over 10,000 people on a daily basis? are we all delusional? i think not.

If you are 100% AMERICAN can't vote for Barack Huseim Obama. Do you remember 9/11? Please people be real. Don't wait until is too late. We can still get rid of him.

The CNN poll has Obama defeating McClain in the November election, however a national poll thru CNN also has McClain defeating Obama in the November election. Both polls were published the same day ! Which may I ask is accurate.

Barbara

Get in line to change your citizenship to Obama native

whatever happen to a government for the people by the people?

My vote will count. I am sick of the media's slant, America must wake up dont listen to polls, make your vote count and be heard.

We need one national primary and one general election to make it a fair level playing field.

This vote goes to Hillary.

How would it ever be possible to re-elect the Republicans, the US is in recession, heading towards depression, the foreign debt meter is about to overflow, inflation is skyrocketing, unemployment is up, and yes some good news the surge is working.
God help America it will need a miracle!

I've seen the results of hundreds of polls and not once have I or anyone I know ever been polled. Just a thought but if you're going to run articles on how much of a lead Obama has or that McCain will be almost impossible to beat in the national election how about polling a couple more MILLIONS of people and not a couple hundred as they walk out of a McCain or Obama sideshow.

I voted for Obama. Deal with it!!

Obama is a mean talker and Hillary is a great doer.
If Americans really choose Obama, I think ,that means the GOD doesn’t want bless USA.

any women voting for Obama over Clinton deserves the 70 cent to every dollar I earn. If women cant even see that here we have a women that is more quaified then her male conterpart for the job and they cant get past petty issues like a cheating husband then they will forever remain below men on the pay scale.

We have had it rammed down our throats by the news media and the Barack Obaaa baa baa ma supporters that he will unite the country...you can't tell people that do not support Obama that he will unite the country...in fact what is happening is we are also being told that if this thing goes to the democratic convention the dems will be split down the middle SO MUCH FOR UNITY! I laugh out loud at the stupidity of indoctrination

I, as a democrat will register independent and vote for Nader if Obama gets the nomination as a protest to having been stampeded to 'BELIEVE' in him. Without the indoctrination attempt I would have supported whatever Dem nominee got in.

Just as all out of control romances go, Cnn and all the other toadies have done a lot of damage with their unrestrained support of this man

I read thousands of posts everyday and it is clear that many of the Clinton supporters can NOT spell even the simplest of English words. This might be a clue as to why Hillary does not know what the definition of 'denounce' is.

America deserves a president that has a command of the English language. Vote Obama!

Senator Clinton just sealed her fate last night. I think her moodiness in front of the camera clearly demonstrated that she is NOT qualified to be President. You can't be moody when running a country!! You can't rant and rave when things don't go you way, especially in front of the cameras.

And to think she just knew she HAD the presidential nominee was her BIGGEST mistake. She talked trash that she was the winner. Well, you know what the old folks would say" It's not over till the fat lady sings!" and right now the Fat Lady is singing Hillary's name.

Her attempt on the Farrakhan issue was case and point. How are you arguing over the words denounce or reject?? Give me a break...

As I woman, I would have thought her years as First Lady provided her with some advance lessons on how to "win over" the country. Bill even told her campaign staffers that she had to come out sensitive and focus on the needs of the people... play on their concerns and needs. They clearly didn't do that. Dah.

She continually reminds us of her RESUME and CREDENTIALS...so what?? There are others with a far more stellar credentials/resumes and experience that she has. Hillary just needs to bow out gracefully before she crashes and burns. If she continues this battle, she will never be able to run for President because of her reputation for being divisive and moody and theatrical. Americans will remember her as having to many personality issues.

Plain & Simple

America Is Ready
Obama 08

Denounce is a stronger word than reject.............

Polls can be fickle, but the trend is clear. The political winds are behind Obama's sails. Still, you have to factor in that Mrs. Clinton's campaign has not launched the kind of negative attacks it has signaled it's capable of. Despite all good intentions, negative attacks can be effective in influencing public opinion and you can bet that several are on the drawing board in Hillary's camp. The current polls are a good sign for Obama supporters, but they are also a signal that Clinton's campaign machine will become increasingly desperate as they approach March 4th. The fight for the Democratic nomination is hardly over.

John McCain is so much like Bush and so deep into Bush country that he will end up running this country deeper into the ground.

Plus, isn't he 90 years old!!! I mean the man's face keeps swelling up and I think he's not healthy. Look at Cheney, you can't even find his sorry behiind. Bush must have him in the basement.

People need to open their eyes when it comes to McCain. He's a gung ho rebel who will keep our military in Irag for 100s for years!!! What???

When the dust settles and the "hype" is gone, America will realize the big mistake of choosing an unexperienced candidate for president. You do not start your Superbowl game with a rookie quarterback!!
But as they say , "Empty barrels make the most noise"
Wake up, we are under extremely difficult times. Obama is not ready!

Hillary, please do the responsible thing and drop out now. You're only hurting your party and your country. Americans are ready for a change – we're sick of the same tired old lies and spin, and we see you for the deceitful, ego-driven, opportunist you are.

CNN seems to be supporting the system by supporting obama. Obama is a weak candidate, to far to the left. Independents do not vote for leftist candidates.

On the other hand, McCain would be the second choice if Hillary does not get our party's nomination. And the DNC will regret having ignored the Latino Voice in FLA. Texas is supporting Hillary, but CNN does poll only English speaking voters, and ignores thousands who are only Spanish speaking people.

There is not such lead, the lead is in the biased media and
Hillary is our chance to succeed

Hillary for President!
Hillary Presidente!

IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO TWO RELATIVELY SIMPLE THINGS 1. WHETHER THE COUNTRY WANTS MORE OF THE SAME PAST SEVEN YEARS IE: THE STRUGGLE IN IRAQ (PEVENTING US FROM HANDLING OUR BUSINESS WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD AND BECOMING A SAFER NATION FROM TERRORISM AND 2.THE RICH GETTING RICHER (PERMANENT TAX CUTS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T NEED THEM). IF SO MCCAINS YOUR MAN

NEOCONSPIRICY UNCOVERED!
Democrats be WARNED!

-It has just been discovered that conservatives are trying to "con" their way back into the White House (once again) using insidious tactics of deception and misinformation.
Conservative bloggers flock to pro-McCain stories and post comments claiming that they are a Democrat and if "their" Democratic candidate does not get the nomination, then they will vote for McCain.

Do people deserve what they ask for and therfore shut up complaining?

Hillary is finished. She looked pathetic on last nights debate.

When Obama won in Iowa...every campaign from both sides started to steel his message. Only three are left. Obama will be the last one standing.

McCain's wife owns the largest Budweiser distributorship in Arizona. What would the evangelical snake dancers think of that?

John McCain proved once again last night that he has the integrity and leadership to be our president. His honor and courage led him to apologize for remarks made on his behalf by Mr. Cunningham. The reason why Senator McCain is so hard to stereotype and categorize is because he makes decisions consistent with his principles. Most people are not used to seeing someone act with integrity, honor and courage. He should be our president not because he deserves it, but because he is the leader our country needs now.

Mel, could it be higher powers at work to get Obama elected because of his inexperence and he can be run over? Or controlled.
Certainly, the insurance companies don't want affordable health care for everyone!

I don't see how a comment about the electability of either Democratic candidate can be valid at this time. The media leads voters to think that a primary season determines the candidates successes, when we all know that once the Democratic or Republican machines begin focusing only one candidate each, that all bets are off until we see what full support does. Any one of these three candidates have equal chances of winning this election. Don't predict which one yet....not until all the resources of each party are brought to bear on each selected candidate.

THE ANSWER IS IN THE QUESTION?

IS CNN BIASED AGAINST HILLARY R. CLINTON?

HAS CNN LOST IT'S CREDIBILITY TO REPORT THE NEWS, AS IT HAPPENS, OR CREATE HYPE AROUND THE NEWS?

SHOULD CNN BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF?

People of OHIO, PENNSLYVANIA, and TEXAS; please help save AMERICA-do not put a trainee in the WHITE HOUSE–we don't deserve it--we are a great nation -let's keep it that way.
GOD BLESS AMERICA...

The Hillary Hating media have derailed the election process through their prejudiced and biased opinions – giving Obama every advantage while Clinton every disadvantage. Texas and Ohio need to put the brakes on Obama and restore balance and fairness

The Media gives Obama all the attention. He can do no wrong. They NEVER have anything bad to say about Obama he is soooo perfect... NOT...The Media is owned by large corporations so like most people who are sheep they are easily manipulated. Good for Senator Clinton to point out she is always asked the questions first, that way Obama can just agree with her. It is ridiculous that women in this country do not band together to show our strength. Remember we still only make 70cents to the dollar a man makes for doing the same job. When will woman have another chance to hold the highest job in the country and use that as an example to our daughters and what they can achieve?

I have tried and tried to post a comment on this blog but it always gets deleted. CNN and the media are voting for us the people. They are not reporting the true story about Obama and they are letting him get a free ride. Why???? I don't know. All I know is that I hope the media can still sleep at night knowing they are keeping some key details about Obama to the general public. If this gets out later down the line these MSM people will be blamed for handing the presidency to another republican.

Holy Cow, are we still talking about Polls? Get over it. IPolls are sort of like living here in Michigan,....I look outside to see what the weather is like, not just take the news anchors forecasted opinion, they're wrong 90% of the time. We'll see what happens WHEN it happens.

Obama rocks! Hillary is a loser.

BYE BYE HILLARY its time to go know before you make an even bigger fool of your self I heard someone refer to you as Hillary Huckabee.

I think the debate last night was great and that Hillary by far out did Obama. It's very true, the press always criticizes Hillary Clinton. She is a great lady with so much more experience and she handled herself very well last night. It' s shame people are so ugly to her. She's has done so much for American and I think she is great for what she has to endure with the media.
It's not over yet and I hope she keep strong and know she has a lot of support .

why do you think he's the EX senator

you obama backers are retards....

The media has decided who will be the next president; they always have since the era of Andrew Jackson. I’m a young only 23 y/o so this is the really the first time I have voted. I've watched the debates and listened to the candidates. In hopes to gain my own opinion of each candidate. This is hard to do when you see “political analysts” trying to interoperate what each candidate means after each debate. I’m not an idiot... I don’t need your biased opinions slammed down my throat, its distasteful to young voters and unsettling in my mind that people don’t even have the chance to form there own opinions.

DOVE SONG.....you're blinded by Obama's charisma.He's the most liberal among candidates.What did Obama mean when he said, CHANGE.Change our religion into --.Change the constitution into --.

Clinton says let stick to the facts but her attacks on President Obama are all opinions.

So what are these polls supposed to tell voters? You vote for one who is ahead in the polls or the one who is behind in the polls? If Obama is nominated, I'll vote for McCain.

I believe that Obama is leading in the polls alright, The media polls. You have formed everything that he stands for. He has nothing of his own to say. Just like Hillary stated last night in the debates, they ask her the questions first and he says i believe Hillary is right, or I agree with what Hillary says, again other peoples ideas. Come on Obama get some of your own.

Hillary did a good job, but the simple fact that she will do or say anything just to get back in the white house is disturbing to me it leaves me to think she out for the fame.

National poles (like immigration reform to the various candidates) means nothing. There is no such thing as a national election. If we had a national election Al Gore would have been president in 2000.

Ex Texas Senator Phil Gramm is McCains` chief economic advisor. --Look out !!!!! -– Nuff said---

SHAME,SHAME ON AMERICANS who are voting for people who want to kill unborn children and support same sex marriage.Wake up Americans!
If Obama or McCain[both democrats] wins...you're going to get what you deserved.

America needs to start practicing saying the name PRESIDENT OBAMA because he'on his way to the white house with President Bush's eviction notice. TEXAS SUPPORTER

Obama is by far the most lucid, electable and enigmatic candidate availble. McCain is just another "Warhawk" wanting to waste time, money, and American lives in Iraq.

Hillary is just a Clinton...

For those of you hang-on to the "Freedom isn't free" dogma... its a volunteer milatary – why don't you do the "Patriotic" thing, and JOIN!

But you won't... the whole lot of you all are actually cowards... all talk, no walk....

Peace out

For all those who are saying "I will move to John McCain". I say to you. Please ..Do it now...why wait...You know Hillary is going to lose.

It is very immature for Hillary supporters to leave the democratic party just because Hillary did not get the nomination. It is funny that you would rather have someone who does not even care about healthcare and willing to stay in Iraq for 100 years. I thought Hillary's supported are more educated than that. I was wrong.

Obama will will the Presidency because he is a uniter and he is going to bring in more republicans (at least Ron Paul's supporters) to the democratic party.

WAY TO OBAMA. HILLARY SHOULD QUIT BEFORE SHE DAMAGES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

If McCain winds up in the White House, Americans will deserve everything, and I meand EVERYTHING, they get. I've had it.

I have been a voting democrat for 14 years. I supported President Clinton and originally planned to vote for Senator Clinton in November but because of her and her husband's rantings, I've changed my mind. Senator Obama will be a better president!

Wake up Americans. This is NOT a "debate" contest ability.
This is NOT who's the best speaker between Clinton & Obama .
This is all about our future Country's Security, and our responsibility to our Allies around the globe.

i didn't think that you would have the nerve to post my comments. it is so very clear that the majority of "news outlets" are totally anti Clinton. you all constantly bash Senator Clinton and hold her to a very different standard than Obama. wake up america you are being used and fooled again.

About hands on experience. This campaign is Hillary's to lose. Her experience made her underestimate her opponent, she also selected a poor advisory team, and to try and regain what was handed to her she has adopted a hit and miss approach. In every debate she shows that she does not understand that nobody cares about the colors of the walls. Everybody wants the cracks repaired first. With her as commander in chief I would not sleep easy. It took her a year to get ready for this poorly conceived campaign. How can she be ready on day one to lead a nation.? Please be a good neighbour and give us Obama.

I think last night's debate dramatically underscored Clinton's superior command of both the economy and international polotics. She talked easily and with a great deal of knowledge about the political changes in Russia, the Serbian-Kosovo situation, and the always contentious Middle East. Her economic experience is closely tied with an administration that actually balanced the budget. Experience counts, no company hires an intern to be CEO.

Yeah Yeah... Texans just are confused right now, all the eyes are on them so... they just follow the crowd without processing anything first...!

It amazes me that the American people have resulted in choosing their president by "the person who speaks and relates to people". This person no longer needs have experience but because he is nice and waves his hand that is who we want as a leader. I don't know about everyone but when is the last time someone became president actually went out and related to the American people. It only occurs during the campaign. Come on people!!! Maybe in a few years when he has experience but we have two other candidates that have experience. I think about it hmmm....if I was about to undergo heart surgery, would I want someone with 20 years of heart surgery experience or someone who just graduated medical school? Well, I am glad the American people are not choosing for me. At least I still get to make that decision....Yes I will go with the doctor with 20 years of experience.

Yo, just so everyone knows about the CNN censor fascists, they won't post my hilarious, mood lifting, x rated, non-campaign-related comment.
So much for freedom of press, expression, etc...

Way to go Barack... the people are finally realising that you are the better candidate. The latest debate stimulated by Clinton did not change the minds of people, rather it drew more people to Obama. The contrast in her attitude these past days only goes to show her pretentious nature. We got to stick to the issues Lady.

Go Obama!!!

Yasir... It;s a campaign and not a marriage relationship of course. She does all the work in the household just like every wife out there mostly. She does it and she does not complain. She is a care taker and she can take care of this country, sorry to say but... it needs lots of experiences to take care a big country, and Hillary has done it, she takes care her little home, she has been taking care this country since she was very young and she knows it all.. ok! What else missing, sir? She knows the best of both worlds! YES SHE CAN, GO HILLARY!

A Few of you people talk about hillary and what she has done that would make her so wrong. I want you tell me one thing that she did to make her an undecent person. Was it the fact that she chose to stay married to a man who cheated on her? I think she is an awesome and should be commended. The truth is she is the best person for presidency and if Barack wins the nomination I will surely vote for McCain.

I can't wait until I can scream from the top of rooftops, when McCain is elected president. I'll be looking at all the Obama followers and seeing their faces fall to the floor. And I'll be chanting, "TOLD YOU SO!! TOLD YOU SO!!"

"If you average the "poll of polls" — AP-IPSOS, USA Today/Gallup and CBS/New York Times — Obama leads Clinton 50 percent to 40 percent, with 10 percent unsure." (CNN's Schneider).

HOW MISLEADING!!! " If you average the poll of polls..." What and when were the aforementioned polls taken? What is the margin of error of this "average?" What is the "n" in each of those polls? How randomized were the populations? What was the question posed? What about the 10% who is unsure, how was this percentage factored in?
CREDIBILITY, CREDIBILITY, CREDIBILITY, VERSUS YELLOW JOURNALISM.

MY POST REJECTED AGAIN???

I am democrat but If Obama will be Nominated as it looks that way, I will definitely vote for McCain.

i have had it with the bo supporters, on the whole they are just nasty. is that what bo is inspiring them to do.. i have decided along with all the dems i know.. if bo is the candidate we wil vote for mac.

there is no need for the nasty comments. you criticize hrc for being desperate, but read your own posts..

Everyone is worrried why Obama is winning and how. I think that all of the the people that can't stand him are actually voting for him as well, thats why the voters are turning out in record numbers its ok America to say you support Sen. Obama I'm wearing my Texas for Obama hat right now despite all of the critism I took from people who don't support him. WE ALL KNOW HE WOULD BY FAR BE THE BEST PRESIDENT FOR THE U.S.A.

NuNu: Honestly, you have it backwards, dear. Hillary even stole "hope" last night. She copies Barak a lot. It is OK to like Hillary, but see her for who she is...

Sorry columbus, but apparently you haven't been paying attention to who is supporting Obama. The youth vote is going strongly for him, but it is only a small percentage of the voting population and not enough to rack up wins as big as his most recent margins have been. . Most of us are actually well informed, discerning, mature individuals who just happen to disagree with you. It's time to stop insulting Obama supporters by inferring we have poor judgment or are fools. It's simply not the case and is the most arrogant nonsense I've ever heard. The fact that your candidate tries to paint us that way insults millions of American voters and shows tremendous disprespect.Clinton supporters are not the only knowledgable and rational beings on the planet. Let's agree to disagree without the rudeness, shall we?

Dear unbiased...

Perhaps the Democratic party isn't the place for you.
Independents can play both sides!!!

Gives you the feeling you've really got some input!

Obama will never become a president. Hillary is a better candidate and more experience.

TS 4 go figure... Are you all-knowing, perfect person? may be that's also the only things u know about her!

Eveyone is saying (R) McCain cant wait to put it on (D) Obama......Lets not forget McCain is not a Saint himself.....(D) camp can pull a few hard hits out on McCain...Trust McCain got a few things he need to clear up with the American people himself....doing alot with his dealing.......McCain is so worried about how money is going to be put up for the Obama Camp.....If McCain do his job and run his camp like it sould be....this thing with how money is going to be put up would not be a big problem with his camp..... Come on now....Just like Hillary did not know how Obama was going to do it.......Same will happen with McCain he want know.....Obama is a man with a plan and you know what they say about a man with a plan......I'll leave it at that.

For those who say we know everything about Hillary can you please answer these two questions how much did she earn or contribute last year per her taxes and who gave money for the Clinton's presidential library.

Obama is an inspiration. Nothing xerox about him. He's a black and white original.

Hillary has employed a M.A.D scorched earth policy because she doesnt seem to care that she is dragging the party down with her and ruining any chance the democrats will have to take the white house back. Its as if she's acting like if i cant have it nobody will if i can help it.

As far as conservative talking heads backing hillary, to think they have honest and sincere reasons for doing so is ludacris, because hillary will be a much easier opponent for them in the fall so its no wonder they're backing her.

For those who say we know everything about Hillary can you please answer these two questions how much did she or contribute last year per her taxes and who gave money for the Clinton's presidential library.

You got that right, Nunu, that's what I see when Obama speaks up. He is lack in experience, I am afraid he does not know what he is up against. Is he really ready, or it's just about soaring and talking. This country really needs Hillary, she 's been there, everywhere, since she was just a little girl. She knows what she is talking about.
Go Hillary!

A. Lei

Your suggestions demonstrate profound ignorance of the values of the nation you presume to call home.

Perhaps it is you who is unwilling to participate in the responsibiities and rewards of being an free and independent American.

If Hillary can not tack the first (?) . thin how is she going to go to work on day (1).You go Obama.

Why do my comments about the media coverage keep getting moderated out? I don't say anything nearly offensive as some of the post here. I simply question the depth and validity of the coverage and our responses and I keep getting moderated out! Please explain?!?

Obama is the only one that can beat McCain. The republicans know this and that is why they are pushing for Clinton.

I just want to know who is behind this all and why you are soo on Obama's side?

Thanks to you – you are the ones who dictate us who to vote for.

If media is not fear towards Hillary – Voting for MCCain.

The polls indicate that the American public definitely want a change in how politics are done in Washington! Barack Obama speaks to that need! America needs inspirational progressive leadership! Go Obama!

"Problem with polls – they a) include Republicans cleverly posing as Democrats to attempt to interfere with the Democratic party process, "

Here goes another "vast right wing" conspiracist nut!!!

What makes Obama the best candidate?
What does anyone really know about the MAN?
Not just the politican!
November 8, 2004 even Obama admitted he didn't have the 'experience' to run for the presidency.

I am a black woman over 40. I do not vote for Obama just because he is black, I know many who do. Obama repeats after Clinton he does not have any new idea.I just wish every body to research about
their candidates before they vote.
Go Clinton, She is the best.

To be frank about the whole political drama, is that the democratics is less likely to win the general election, because off all the bickering thats going on. both canidates are great. but the fact of the matter is. the republics will be in office again. so both an african man and a women still wont have a chance to win this election..

carl

I can promise this much, my friends, I have not see this much vitriol that we are spewing on each other is too much. Are we not supposed to fight the Republicans in the election? I have not seen hatefilled and obscene comments in the Republican blogs against their own candidates. They are more issue-based rather personal attacks. I believe how immature we are. Obama is not leading by leaps and bounds in delegates. He is just ~100 delegates over Clinton and we dont even know how these so-called super-delg's are voting. Hold your fire and be civilised here. There is already much bad blood spilled.

Last night's debate was the most substantive one that I have watched out of the 20 debates. Both Russert and Williams asked probing questions and wouldn't allow the candidates to not answer an important question by having good follow up questions.

Last night I witnessed the growth of Barack Obama and soon realized that I could be watching the future President of the United States of America and my heart burst with pride. Here is a young man who kept the debate positive and worked to maintain civility. I soon realized that I can imagine him sitting at the table with a Putin or Castro and any other hardliner and could see him diffusing, debating, offering solutions and walking away from the table with a committed effort from everyone involved.

I was a supporter of Hillary months ago, but as I become more engaged in the primaries I soon found that Hillary does not display the kind of sensitivities required to be President and be able to bring warring factions together and be the peacemaker. It is very hard being a peacemaker if you continue to stand toe to toe and look at solutions from a battle standpoint. Last night I saw Barack rise above that type of politics and all I can say is welcome to the next President of the United States of America – Barack H. Obama.

HILLARY – will be good for the economy,environment,healthcare,foreign policies,human rights (because women are human too!!!),education. .I'll keep it short – good for America!!

OBAMA -he will be good for AMERICA too , according to his speeches.

My fellow Americans, vote for what's best for all of us. VOTE 2008!!!!

I hope that Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island keep the debate going. I think they will all hand victories for Senator Clinton. The more time she as from now on the better she does. She's hit rock bottom, and now its time for those states to show that Democrats have real issues with putting an inexperienced too-smooth-talking candidate as our nominee. He's all hat and no cattle, while she's been working for the causes we care about for 35 years!

not a big surprise here. he is the lesser of two evils. while not a fan of Obama and his policies, McCain is a downright mess.

I just thank god that Nader is in, I get to pick from 2 men that I respect. Nader or McCain. Obama, I am still waiting to see if he is as good as his word about public funds for the general election. Till he does, I am just going to think he is nothing but hot air. Keep your word, or just shut up.

Healthy people have full range of their l their emotions. Sociopaths hardly ever show anger when on the hunt.

Liz: You are a racist. You have no place in the commom decency of America. Pack your bags and move back into the whole that you climbed out of.
Everyone has a choice to choose who they want to be elected. That is the American way. RACISTS are not patriot.
To prove the point, I will vote for OBAMA, because he is the BEST candidate for AMERICANS.

Problem with polls – they a) include Republicans cleverly posing as Democrats to attempt to interfere with the Democratic party process, b) include people that don't vote, and c) twist people's thoughts in a preplanned direction. Are these the same people that were polling in New Hampshire?

I hate the fact that both democratic candidates are taking part in politics as usual, throwing daggers both directions.

I would love to see with a real presentation and real numbers, how each plans to fix the economy, take on health care or fix social security.

Give me a powerpoint presentation over all the jabs and digs any day.

I hate to think that Americans are making their decisions based on the childish bickering we see on TV

I missed last night's debate, but read the transcript in it's entirety. Obama's words or answers appeared to be presidential, uniting, knowledgeable and statesman-like. Sen. Clinton seemed to not fare so well, and must have known it to attack Obama on issues that are of little relevance when looking at the big picture. Last night Senator Clinton had the perfect opportunity to show herself to really be qualified "from day one" to be a leader not a politician....and she blew it.

I still don't count Clinton out, but the nails are adding up and it'll be tough to fight her way out of that coffin.........

barack you will win hillary cliton is a sore looser .obama you are the best dont give up love your bigest supporter danielle forget what her people are talkin about.keep the faith we will make a change

Happy Guy in NH - how can "hate mongering" be allowed on this board while those with relevant comments get scratched – CNN. I'd like to hear your answer.

I love how Hillary supporters describe Obama supporters as stupid, American -Idol watching slaves of fashion.

Oh well. Our votes count just as much as yours.

Senator Clinton came across with much dislike for Senator Obama
and plenty of hatred for Mr. Farrakhan.

HILLARY ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!

It is over for the Clinton dynasty and we should all be hopeful that a new era in politics will be ushered in. A vote for Mc Cain is a vote for 4 more years of Bush which would be intolerable. I think the anti-Obama Dems. need to examine their own issues around race as there are really not much difference between the two candidates. Some argue "experience". Well look at Bloomberg and Arnold...and other moderates who have never held office and are doing a great job!

spin..spin...spin..thats all these media does. I dont expect anything from these polls anyway!!!! Come election, we know whos is going to win!!

Here is the reality of the 2008 Democratic campaign. Last fall Hillary Clinton was the front runner. She was ahead by double digits in the national polls. Her arrogant campaign NEVER took Barack Obama's campaign serious because they were so sure of themselves. They can blame the media all they want, but Hillary Clinton is HILLARY CLINTON!!! She is the wife of a very popular former president, she is a Senator of New York State, she has 35 years of experience in politics. Basically on paper she should be the Democratic nominee, but her campaign screwed themselves. Hillary is visably angry, frustrated, quite frankly she is pissed off that she will not be the nominee. Finally, the Clinton's have met their match and they don't know how to handle it. If anyone is to blame about the failure of her campaign, the blame falls solely on Bill and Hillary Clinton's old school political tactics!

Hillary blew her last chance to make a drastic change on what she claims she is being "misunderstood". I feel Hillary has HAD 8+ years during the White House and as a Senator to make herself UNDERSTOOD. The big stink she made about having to answer the first question was down right childish. AND whole The Luis Farrakhan issue was a mute issue in my book. Barrack Obama is far more intelligent to get caught up in that type of theatrical tactics. Senator Obama is doing EXACTLY what a PRESIDENT should do; he's calm and collected, he sticks to the issues, he walks the talk and he's connecting with the people from all walks of life. HE is what this country needs because the status quo and the old song and dance is clearly NOT WORKING!!!

Americans please Texans please let us come behind Clinton to save America everyday i cry when i see what is happening in America and how america is gradually falling but i am confident that the Labours of our heroes past will save us from this situation we have found ourselves and deliver us from Obama. I ther plead with you fellow Americans to vote for Cliinton.I know you all know that this woman is the best choice now.She will take us back to where we belong and save our gradually collapsing econom. Once again i call yu people from Ohio .Texas, Rhode Island to save America you can still do it if you vote for Hillary .This battle is not over yet. I know there is light at the end of the tunnel.SAVE AMERICA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VOTE AND GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are American's nuts!

Read the article about Louis Farrakhan an Islamic Radical King and be worried.
Chicago Times and Chicago Sun Times Feb 24 or 25 2008

Then check out Wikepedia and see who Louis Farrakhan is.

We should be investigating this more. Especially if you have any Jewish friends or family.

9/11 should have woke us up

What are Americans doing....sleeping!

Hillary needs to stop digging for negativity and stay focus on the real issues at hand. If she can not handle the debates how can she run the country.

Obama is like a young driver with very little tickets on his record and Hillary a much more experienced driver with time has more tickets to point at. So the logic seems to be to let the inexperienced driver drive the whitehouse and hope he turns out to be a good driver. Dont trust in the hype, vote for Hillary and experience.

While the Democrats are squabbling about sexism and racism in the shadow of their venture for "change", the Republicans are already strategizing for their seat in the Oval Office. Wake up, people.

I am a proud Hillary-hater. Watching her self-destruct these past few weeks has been just amazing.
I do wonder, however, with all the stress of campaigning, etc. how she is able to maintain that lovely girlish figure.

I got a new TV yesterday and watched the debate on it. I always hate when the Obama supporters criticize something about HIllary's hair, clothes etc but I can't resist this. Obama has what plastic surgeons and other call marionette lines down each side of his mouth.

I thought, he is a marionette. He reminds me of Ronald Reagan in that regard. He and Reagan are both articulate speakers with a little drama thrown in. Reagan, however, and I am afraid Obama is also dominated and controlled by people who have their own agendas to put forward.

These people, like Annenberg during the Reagan administration, cannot get elected but they use articulate people, like Reagan and Obama, and orchestrate them. Hence Reagan was and Obama will become controlled by these people.

Here in Minnesota these folks promoted ,successfully, the candidacy of Jesse Ventura, a wrestler and small time mayor, to forward their agenda. These people were part of the Independence Party (former Democrats) who could not get elected themselves.

No need to fully vet Obama...he will be under the direction of.....??????

That's why we need HIllary. She is vetted and ready to go and will be her own person. Last night even Obama agreed with her on topics he knew nothing about. That's probably why she is always asked the questions first.

HIllary 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This poll was taken before Obama hesitated to reject Louis Farrakhan. For the Obama-bots out there –
Obama denounced/renounced Farrakhans "beliefs" – not his endorsement. Stop cherry picking for your convenience. To flat out reject everything about the man adds finality to the discussion, to renounce his comments only addresses his previous statements and therefore is not "strong enough"..

Stop trying to fool us. Obama is a snake oil salesman. Just say Nobama.

Hillary for President, or eevn McCain – over this charletan.

What is happening in the hole continent of the americas? Can we not see what is better for us? Our problem is not about couple of dollars more or less, if that is what the democrats are complaing about, the economy, our biggest problem right now is and will be in the next few years our security. Let's not think and act like the rest of the countries in america that are electing presidents that are "populist" but know not what is better for them. Did we not hear what both pre-candidates said in the latest debate 2/26/08 when asked about what they'd do if after leaving Iraq Al Qaeda goes and take over Iraq, they both said they'd go back to Iraq. It sound stupit to me, getting out to surely get back in.

this is my last blog, you obviously support obama! where's your "fair and balance" Fox News, oops I mean cnn! Seems you've followed Fox News' lead. Although, i must admit, recently, they've being a little bit more objective! go figure!!!!!

Finally a Democratic candidate that is not afraid to take on Republican attacks. They have been used to say anything and everything and not get any respond from the Democrats. It is time to give them a taste of their medicine.

The pro-Obama press corp continues to reinforce their arguement that Obama would beat McCain in a national election and they are convinced that Clinton supporters will back Obama. However, I am a Hillary supporter and I will not support Barack. In fact, I like McCain – he is a straight shooter, relatively liberal, and I could see him as the next president. My advice to McCain: find yourself a moderate, or relatively liberal, female v.p. candidate and you are sure to take a chuck of the Clinton supporters with you. Ever heard of the "Tom Bradley" affect?

This comment seems to have disappeared.

My mother always told me that "you are judged by the company you keep" Obama's minister keeps company with Farrakhan and Obama goes to the church where the minister is.

Obama supporters – if Obama gets in you will be saying before long: "I wish I knew then what I know now".

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT

Dont mind these people calling themselves Texans or independent Latino voters you know what? they are liars like Obama they are blacks who wants to die to make a black man president .I am black but i dont buy their racist ideas they are trying to change the mind of people that are real Latinos .Latinos will vote for Clinton and God will see us through and save America from these dare devils. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OIn the issue of experience least we not forget that George Washington had NO experience and is attributed as being a great president. Because he was for the people. I guess the media just liked him more

Once the field is cleared to just 2 candidates.
Americans of all ages will do a reality check. The real world life and death challenges our nation faces will make many Obamanites reconsider their choice.
Emotional, untried, hope-filled empty promises–will appear as vapid as Obama's halo.
When realistic, hard working, tax paying, conservative Americans with children and grandchildren at stake–look at the real choices they have they will evacuate Obama like a soap suds enema!

Conservative democrats, republicans and independents will rescue our post Bush presidency–and maintain the economic stability and security of our nation from Mr. Obama's socialist reforms.

who won the blue states.. NJ, NY, MA, CA?

Obama supporters.. you NEED Hillary supporters if your boy is going to win the general election. Obama is doing well in red states that may well go Republican in November but there is a reason for that.... think about it.

Your derogatory comments about Hillary are hurting Obamas chances. You need to unite the party behind the eventual nominee and you are doing the complete opposite.

I would have thought this was obvious but I guess not.....

Obamakins will not vote for Obama in the general election. The open primaries should be abolished in every state. Then and only then can the registered Democratics really have a voice. California is my state, and it is straight party votes. That is why Hillary won it. Take away crossovers who vote to shake the very foundation of the primary process and Obama wins? I think great many Obama supporter are most like Republicans, who want to insure a GOP win in November.

GIVE IT UP MCCAIN! Your worse than Ralph Nader!!!

Obama will KILL Mccain, even though I do think that this country is filled with racists, people care more about the green (money) then they do black or white. Can someone please state a difference between Bush and McCain? So since Bush is a failure so will Obama be. And please explain to me what is all this EXPERIENCE that Clinton has over Obama?

Do all you Obmama Idiots really trust him? Not Me!!!!

Isn't it funny how Obama can blow another debate and go up in the polls.

Obama keeps saying "I agree with Senator Clinton' and while the blog world thinks this is funny, the media continues to ignore it.

The amount of time and number of words always go to Obama in the debates and while the blog world thinks this is funny, the media contiues to ignore it. Remember we used to get the results of the time clock? Not since we've begun living in Obamaland.

Of course Obama is leading. Americans are looking for a handout. Obama has the largest give away of ANY candidate. I've been a democrat for many years but can't take it anymore.

Last night was like watching SNL all over again. It's sad.

Look at the sources. NY Times, probably one of the two most Liberal papers in the country along with Washington Post. CBS, probably most Liberal news station, along with CNN.

I feel the strenght and wisdom of Sen McCain will beat Obama in Nov.

The vetting has started, but it is already to late for the states that have voted, but its not to late to stop his nomination. I live in Texas and my wife and I have voted early. My son and daughter and their spouses voted yesterday. All Clinton votes.The Texas polls are so wrong, I don't know how they arrive at these numbers. The hispanic populations is 35.7% and the black is 11.8% and both groups are coming out in record numbers. The figures from three days ago were 360,000 voter already and blacks are voting 8 to 1 for Obama and hispanics are going 6.5 to 1 for Hillary Clinton. In last nights debate the facial expressions should have told you a lot about Obama, as it showed a seasoned and experirence adult , versus and immature and unsure candidate. Clinton was kind to him last night. Just picture in your mind of how McCain would have treated him, it would not have been pretty.

Guys,

If you get a chance watch Frank Luntz's focus group of undecided voters who watched the debate last. It is a stark revelation on what is actually the truth to voters in Ohio. They gave the mandate to Hillary overwhelmingly. People are realising the value of Hillary's experience, stance on healthcare, zeal to promote human rights, create jobs and a strong foreign policy. All in all everyone knows that she is a FIGHTER for the American People.

Matt

Jules, thank you, thank you, thank you. Your comment is dead on. If we can ever hope for any kind of change in this country, we must focus on supporting the party's nominee, whoever that is. Remember, this election isn't just about one person, and, as both of the candidates have acknowledged, their ideas are VERY similar. Let's be civil with one another, pick a candidate, and then, regardless of that candidate's identity, back him or her into the White House.

A. Lei, I have a better idea. let's base it on contributions to the GDP. That gives Afro-Americans 7% of everything. Don't like it, then you shut up.

Hillary Clinton has earned this presidency through her hard work for the American people – real work. As for Barack Obama, over the past few years, he's run for several positions – the senate, congress, president...and, even though he is the Chairperson of the committee related to NATO that should have been holding meetings regarding our situation in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world – as the Chairperson, he has not held a single meeting??? Because, as he put it, he became the Chairperson in early 2007 just as his presidential campaign was beginning. So, who has been doing the job he was elected to do while he has been campaigning? This is as disturbing as his failing to vote "yes" or "no" on a reported 129 pieces of legislation that was important to voters in the senate – voting "present" is safe for him so he can avoid any criticism about his votes, but it gets nothing done for the people. Hillary Clinton has continued her work for the people, even during the campaign. I have a lot of respect for her for caring about the people enough to ensure she is still working for them.

Sometimes polls are good indicators that can be relied on, and sometimes they are not. But there seems to be a general consensus that Obama's chances of winning the White House is greater than Hillary's.

This brings into focus the so-called smoke-filled back room where the superdelegates are snarling and banging tables. It's obvious that the smoke in that room has almost evaporated and the "I Can See Clearly Now" moment has come. The more they further procrsatinate, the more the Republicans gain more grounds. It's time to leave the smoke-filled room and openly stand behind Obama so we can all march into the White House and get on with the business at hand.

80% of the pollsters and 90% of the media say that 70% of the voters who were interviewed had a 60% chance of voting for Obama and 55% chance of voting for Hillary. They also expertly concluded that If McCain wins 60% and Obama wins 60%, then there is a 90% possibility that Hillary Clinton will lose in 80% of the states.

Moral of the data: statistics is easy to make up!!

McCain is an alright senator but definitely not presidential material.

He's too tied to Bush, he has no vision, and he's very backward looking. Expect to hear lots of talk of the 1960s etc. But who really cares today? Many voters were not even born then.

Add to this his scandals on financing and cheating on both of his wives.

McCain is ultimately a pretty weak candidate.

This is really no surprise to me when you compare him to the other candidates. Let's see, we have one that complains all the times about the rules of the game even though she already knew the rules before she got in. She talks about how vetted she is and how tough she is, then whines about media coverage of her opponent. She reminds me of a kid that takes his/her ball and leaves if he/she doesn't like the way the other kids are playing. She complains about everything that doesn't go her way and then makes everyone adjust the rules of the game to fit her. On the other side, you have an old guy that seems to be shell shocked from war and wants to continue war like our current sitting President. The only issues he seems to talk about are permanant tax cuts for the rich and war for "100 years". So should we really be surprised that Obama is topping the polls? Shows you that Americans are smarter than you think!

Obama/Edwards '08

I am very proud that I am not voting like a misguided college student (whose judgment centers don't develop until they are 21 years old) or a Hollywood celebrity – those are Obama's supporters.

Obama '08

Whats the differences between the two demacratic canidates?? 1 is a Man and 1 is a Woman.. regardless of race have we ever had a Female President?? or do we women continue to be 2nd?? They both are great candidates, but Hillary being a Woman and experienced has alot of Media and Men worried.... Where is the REAL CHANGE????

Forget all the polls. We will see on Tuesday when the people in Texas and Ohio vote.

MAY THE BEST PERSON WIN!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!

Is anyone else getting sick and tired of hearing Preacher Obama and his neverending empty promises and non-stop commercials? My gosh. Are we going to have to listen to this media brainwashing all the way to election day? Our family was watching Entertainment Tonight last night and lo and behold, there was Obama AGAIN!!!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to become resentful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carlos M – I'll have to re-watch the debate... MSN Streaming was horrible on my PC. But I will say, Obama falls apart when you remove his teleprompter.... lol. Obama is scary and once everyone comes down from their "Obama High", they'll realize this!

Throw in the towel, Hiliary. The show is over. No more screaming and fake tears. "shame on you."

If the AP-IPSOS, USA Today/Gallup and CBS/New York Times liberal polls all show McCain within their humungus 4% margin of error. The history of the last two election polls clearly dictate a McCain victory in November.

Many of you are missing the point. Early polls pretty much said that both candidates would beat McCain by a comfortable margin. As this never ending primary campaign rolls on and they take hit after hit from eachother, they are both losing support and McCain is gaining strength. It's time for all of us to do what's best for America- stop sniping and vote Democratic. If you want affordable healthcare and college tution, to keep your job and your home, and to restore our good standing in the world, then stop the pettiness. Overzealous supporters on both sides are handing McCain his victory. Both Democratic candidates are highly intelligent and highly qualified.. Wise up.

Facts:

1. Hillary will unite the Republicans
2. Obama is the stronger candidate against McCain
3. Obama showed he could run a more organized, financially prudent (in comparison to Clinton) campaign
4. What Hillary says she has in experience is trumped by Obama's judgement and inspiration.
5. Obama has shown he can attrack all voters, white, black, Latino, Republican, and most importantly independents.

Conclusion: Obama is the best Democratic candidate. ( This doesn't mean Hillary is not a really good candidate)

Of course he is ahead now. He is the Media Darling and he is being forced on us. Even Entertainment Tonight spent half their show on him. That's all he is, an "Entertainer", nothing more. You Obama Cult Members are going to ruin this for the rest of us who can think like adults, not teenagers watching American Idol.

Anyone except Hillary! What a foul mouthed little whiner this woman is. And she looks so pleased with herself when she thinks she has successfully stabbed someone in the back.

A quick note to the 60 year white woman who complained about men hating women being the reason Hillary is not getting a fair go, it's really NOT that. I'm sure if any other woman was in Hillary's place but actually a decent person, us men would have no worries supporting her. This is not about race, gender, or religion this is about honesty intelligence and integrity.

AnyonebutHillary08

McCain wants Obama because he can beat him hands down. You always try to make it appear as if the harder candidate to beat is the one you really want in the competition. The Rock Star Obama is going to be a piece of cake, and they know it.

I hope Obama does win the nomination. It's an EASY win for McCain! Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, baby!

If people would only listen objectively to the candidates without all the emotional baggage, name calling and propaganda involved, maybe there would be a chance for our nation to elect a qualified leader. Stay with the facts, people. Do your own research on the candidate look for unbiased reports and make sure they are unbiased.

Okay, then Republicans need to change their strategy.... So for those crossing over and voting Democratic and really supporting the GOP, I would think you would want the Democratic Battle to linger, then vote for Hillary Clinton.... Keeps her in the race until April while Republicans build up their War Chest! Just a thought!

November 2008 national poll OBAMA 75% AND MCCAIN 25%
Go obama

Reply to Jim Kansas

"I will be quite truthful here, while the Govenor of Kansas endorsed Obama, and the Democratic caucus picked Obama in the State of Kansas, I know very very few Obama supporters. So just who is being polled anyway."

Open your eyes Jim! It is obvious there are Obama supporters here...how could he win the caucus if there weren't? I'm a proud supporter and know of SEVERAL others too!

She stated the facts very plainly, made light of it and moved on quickly. The fact is, she's right; there is a bias in the media. I would think less of her if she didn't point this out. Interesting that this was viewed by so many as "whinny." Seems disappointingly sexist.

She's knowledgeable, sharp and has a good sense of humor. All qualities I'd think we'd be proud to have in a president.

Also, such a bias in the media is serious! Regardless of the circumstance, it's not their place to elect a president- IT"S OURS!!!

John McCain is George Bush without the Southern drawl

Obama, Gore 2008. that would be the dream ticket.

Many of you are missing the point. Early polls pretty much said that both candidates would beat McCain by a comfortable margin. As this never ending primary campaign rolls on and they take hit after hit from eachother, they are both losing support and McCain is gaining strength.

Oh My GOD! am I taking crazy pills? or simply I was the only one who noticed during the debate last night how nervous Barack Hussein Obama got when asked about the picture in his religious gear and the endorsement by the craziest than ever Louis Farrakahn?

His face almost disfigured during this line of questioning and he started to stutter, was it me or did anyone else noticed?

So? obviously the polls have no accuracy especially these ones. and doesn't reflect what will be the mood of the country once the republcians and media define obama if he wins the nominee.

It is time for Hillary to stop whining about everything. It shows how insecure she really is. She is not ready on day one to be our president or for that matter anytime. She is carrying a lot of excess baggage that has not been exposed yet but the Republicans will be exposing all her dirty behind scenes deals if she gets nominated.

Obama looked and sounded very presidential, and he is the only one that can meet with foreign leaders and use persuasion if nothing else. If he picks the right cabinent leaders this will be the greatest President this country has ever seen..... He is a very courageous man, which shows when he decided to run with all odds against him.

I am glad that is the last debate.... Hillary is getting to sound like a broken record, whine, whine, whine..... And I think we know where Barrck Obama stands... with the American people. He will give us back our government

This poll is ridiculous. This is circular logic. Senator Obama is polling high because people see him as electable... people see him as electable because he's polling high. Hrmm.

once obama is the nominee and the hillary supporters get on board with the rest of the democrat party in the general eleciton with all thats turning out to vote in this race mcCain can't win.

Barack the Vote!

CNN is still obamabiased! I am a registered voter who will not fall for the Obama spell or illusions he seems to be weaving! Hillary is better prepared and competent to be the President of the US. However if Obama gets elected, then you better believe McCain will become the next president.

We need new ideas and thoughts for this new day. Clinton – of -old and Obama the uniter of new!

The poster calling himself 'Uncle Sam' states that ... The Rasmussen presidential tracking poll currently has John McCain leading Barack Obama 47% to 43%. For those that don't know, the Rasmussen Report has a very long history of polling only extremely conservatives in their polls. What does it say to you that 43% of extreme conservatives are voting for Barack Obama?

I am amazed we are excited about a candidate for President who experiences include being a community organizer, law professor,
state representative a several years, and one who has been in the Senate for a couple of years. We can surely do better than this.

Anyone watching the debate last night had to be blind if they couldn't see the anger seething in Hillary throughout. Obama on the other hand came across as calm in control and confident.

Hillary can continue to be a good Senator from NY, Obama is Presidential material.

Some people are really clueless. Some Conservative talk show person demeans people and then syays they will support Hillary and they think that is so important. First of all, any radio talk show host, either conservative or liberal, isn't a political force and don't mean anything. They have stated they are in the entertainment business I remember when Rush said he would support Bill Clinton and all of his listeners were so upset. Of course he really didn't and said he wanted to prove a point. Anybody who things a conservative republican talk show person would support Hillary is delusional or gullible. Remember the "vast right wing conspiracy" that Hillary alwayus talked about.

Obama does seem to be ahead in many of the polls. Of course he is Hillary is trashed on all the major networks. Obama supporters criticize Hillary's negative campaign and turn around make such hateful remarks about Hillary. If you do not like negativity do not be so negative. Hateful remarks toward someone who has made positive contributions to the American people is offensive. This does not increase Obama support it detracts from it.

I think Senator Obama is the best candidate as well as the best person for the role of President in our country. Hiliary has proven she is very vindictive and divisive for our country. If she can't create a successful campaign without the constant bickering and backbiting, than how will she beable to bring the country together on one accord is the question one should ask his or herself. We need a leader who is very much unlike "Bush" and is truly about bring our country together and together we will make our mark in history. Go Obama!

I am saddened by the media's relentless hype of Senator Obama and even after a strong debate, Senator Clinton has once again been put in the position of not only winning a debate, getting her points across but again fight for equal and fair reporting on what she has said and hopes to accomplish as our President.

Her speech the other day at a rally was so dead on regarding the impossible dream that the Obama camp and the media has been relentlessly pushing down the throats of the American people.

Its' time to wake up America or we'll have 4 more years of inept, unexperienced, and not to mention a naive President, who is a good man, but actually believes he will perform miracles.

We have a long road ahead of us and I hope Texas and Ohio take notice and vote for Senator Clinton.

If this whining, stuttering, unfocused freak show that has become her campaign is an example of Hillary under pressure, one can only imagine how this so-called "experienced" candidate would react to less genteel attacks from the GOP.

Latina Voter from SLC Utah

You have it backwards. The conservative ground is rumbling, and waking up. They are regretting their open primary support of Obama. They will go with McCain or Hillary, but not Obama, in the general election.

Read the poll details instead of "reading into" the headlines.

My "duh" to you is this. I know how Utah and Idaho vote in general elections. It's not the left edge of the world.

Minnesotans just got royally screwed by the DFL. They overruled a veto that just gave us an annual tax increase of $200. Sleeping giants will awaken and say "no" to Obama.

This is an opinion from a non media person. When anyone(educated or not) hears Obama the first time – they are impressed. the second time they hear him they start to excuse his negatives- eventually they finally are bored with his flowery speeches and realize they are like a souffle, nothing but hot air

donnajp....

You have a lot in common with Hillary, " I am an upset 60 year old white female"

What are all of these men telling their daughters about what they can be when they grow up?

Maybe it's more that we're telling them NOT what to be. Please don't turn out like Hillary!

A. Lei, I find your comments very UN-AMERICAN at best.

Odd, the Polls never ask the respondents how much they know on the subject questioned. How many voters know that we actually DID win the so-called war in Iraq.. we gave a nation its land back from a tyrant...

did anyone help us?- yes, France- But they went home after we got America and "We The People" built a nation.... yes, we had leaders in duels, ethnic clensing and all thet stuff we keep crying about will happen when our uniforms leave... ceste la vie... toni, a Virginian pollster

A. Lei,

Member of Nation of Islam-much? Why do you only want 5% of the debt? You have to take the good with the bad. If you get 25% of the GNP, then you should get 25% of the national debt.

BTW, you can have 100% of the IRS – we don't want it!

If Obama runs against McCain it will be an entirely different ball game for him. He will no longer running against a woman or a Clinton. He will have to run on his "own" merits. The press who also does not want a woman or a Clinton to win, will now be fair in their coverage because its "two men" running against each other and not a woman of a Clinton.

Better keep Michelle at home baking cookies and not talking to the press that is for sure. In fact, Obama from what I hear is already backing off from talking to the press. I guess he is afraid he might "slip up".

Obama is the one that has not seen anything yet. He will be on the hot seat if he is the nominee – we will then see what he is really made of.

I find Obama to be very substantive and specific. This charge that he is only an empty suit with a good rap is baseless.

Are these polls that of course the MEDIA conducted?

For Ms. Clinton to claim to be the most experience candidate, she does not present herself as "polished" under pressure. What I mean is that she is now under pressure to win, and she appears to be angry, boader-line unprofessional in her demeanor.

Polls like much else in the media can be spun to meet whatever need we have.

It's both sad and frightening that the American people are clinging to Obama who says much, but has done so very little.

I would much rather have someone who has experience and can make decisions than someone who is a political rock star. He should run for motivational speaker–not leader of the United States. If Obama is the Democratic candidate–expect a landslide win by McCain.

If, Hillary is the democratic nomiee, I can't wait to see how the Republican party will stump on her. Don't forget their know all about the Clintons mess. Obama won't get that low but the Republicans are going to eat her butt up!!! LMAO

So, he's going to get eaten alvie by republicans you say? You mean by the same republican front runner, who said we could be in the middle east for a 100 more years? I think not, I am a strong Obama supported, but I feel that either won of them could beat the McCain no problem.

yeah, right. Those polled are the same people who will be voting for McCain in the general election. NPR and other news organizations are now reporting that republicans have been and will continue to vote for Obama in the primaries so that they can set him up for MCain in the fall. It should be a landslide for McCain if the theory holds true.

Hillabee should just drop out now.

If Obama can beat the Clinton Machine, the most powerful and ruthless politicians to date, or what I like to call the "Unholy Trinity" (Bill, Hillary and Chelsea), then what makes you think he can't beat an old geezer like McCain? McCain looks like he needs oxygen!

If Obama gets the nomination he will not win to be President. Hillary could beat McCain, but Hillary supporters are not happy with Obama so I doubt that he will get their votes. Making Obama the nominee is definetly giving the Presidency to McCain.

I love Obama!

As I said before.....Obama is a true leader. He did it last night at the debate. John McCain can't argue him about the war in Iraq as he didn't even vote for it, therefore there is no conversation about the surge of soldiers is working or not.............

I truly believe there should be two America's one for the blacks and one for all others. Give Blacks the following: 5 nuclear subs, 30% of all America's nuclear weapons. 60 spy satellites, 30% of the IRS 15 States mostly on the coast line the lower part of America. Portions of California to Texas, including Mexico 25% of the Gross National product (GNP) only 5% of the deficit and National debt and 1/3 of the America Arm forces along with the equipment which would include the ships, tanks, airplanes, military vehicles, and 1/3 of the military budget to go along with keeping the military in power. Then as Blacks we will go away and rule ourselves. Unless you people agree to these terms then shutup.

Hey Liz, "two more conservative talk show hosts threw their support behind Hillary"....... well OF COURSE they did! That's the candidate they WANT.

In national polls, Obama beats McCain. BUT in national polls McCain has a slight edge over Hillary! Duh.

The Republicans have wanted Hillary to be the nominee from the start. Even Bill O'Reilly defended her on his show! Wake up!

They want Hillary, cause they know what they can do to her. And she is whining about being asked the first question! She ain't seen nothing yet.

My mum likes Obama.

After watching Hillary's pathetic, remorseful attempt at a debate, replete with name-calling, hypocrisy, and phony baseless attacks to distract and insult Americans' sense of decency and common sense.....I will NEVER ever support her.....she is an insult to ALL Americans with any sense of what real change from the past even means, as her true, vindictive, snide, double-talking side comes out:

Change= not hillary
Transformation= not hillary
Solutions=not hillary
Hillary=Evil slimy establishment bush supporter

Obama will be more electable!!! He is steady , cool, calm and focused.
When all is said and done, Hillary always comes across as being devisive and moody
How can anyone feel this woman would bring the congress and senate together let alone the country.
I felt when she was pressing the Farrakhan issue that she came across as henpecking !!
Obama has a *constant temperament* about him in any situation.He has proven that time and time again .Exactly what a leader needs in the white house.
For those who want an Obama..Clinton dream team I cannot help
but think who would want that *moody* woman along side them every day in the white house.I think it would be a presidents NIGHTMARE!!!

Why are we talking about Minister Farrakhan. The debate in Ohio should have been about Home Foreclosurers, in which Ohio is one of the leading states in the country. Honestly, I could care less about endorsements by any canidate. Let's stick to the issues that are most important. The debate moderates did a POOR JOB !

Way to go Mr. President.

OBAMA 08

Congratulations Obama. We love you!

I am an upset 60 year old white female who supports Hillary Clinton not because she is a woman but because she is a woman of substance. The problem is that the women supporting Hillary have found out that men in the US do not want a woman president so they find fault with everything she says or does while Obama gets a free ride. We women may just stay home on election day since we are not considered of equal status to be the President of the US. What are all of these men telling their daughters about what they can be when they grow up?

this should make it clear to ALL democrats what needs to be done. thankfully what needs to be done is the same choice that is best for this country anyway.

Obama 08!

Are these the same polls that had John Kerry up by 17 points just days before the election?

I voted for Obama in the Florida primary, but each day that goes by I become more and more in favor of Clinton. She just sounds so much more substantive and comprehensive on all of the issues. And Obama is doing exactly what he claimed he wouldn't: Play Washington politics and not take a stand on anything. Clinton sounds ready to go; Obama could use a few more years.

He deserves to be at the top of the polls. Consider the type of campaign that he has ran, I don't think that this should be shocking to anyone. When you win 11 in a row you are pretty much guaranteed a spot at the playoffs. When you beat a team by more than 20 points in 11 games, more than likely you are going to the superbowl. Thats just in line with all the football metaphors that we have been seeing throughout this campaign. I clearly believe that Obama is the best candidate for the democratic party and hopefully this will not drag on past Texas and Ohio. Its time for the democrats to unite behind Obama and move forward. The new generation of politics is about to begin.

50/50 is not a lead. Sounds more like a tie to me.

Biased media and media pundits as always like dancing on top of Clinton’s grave.

As a democrat in a republican state, I can only hope that Hillary gets the nomination. Barrack is far left, Hillary is left but not as far, and McCain is far right. The republicans are licking their lips at the chance of going after Barrack. Anyone who has followed Hillary through the years knows that she is the best person to be president even if the popular vote is leaning to Barrack. Just listen to the news reports. Even the Republican politicians laugh about him not having the experience he needs to win against them and he is too far left to really draw the republican states.

The proof will come next Tuesday, when Obama stands a good chance of winning all four primaries. The wheels are falling off Hillary's bandwagon.....

100 times more electable. Clinton's running some sort of bipolar circus show and it's getting really annoying.

YES!!! GOBAMA is a better opponent to go up against McCain and is more electable.

time to change the bush/clinton royalty rights.

I don't undersatnd why he is seen as way more electable. I hope the debate last night- can anyone say Farrahkan? will have an effect on his "momentum."

I am just amazed with Hillary's ability or I should say UNability to debate what's important to us "citizens" and rather she countinues to come up with those silly matters (Farakhan, xerox, photos !, etc) that are not doing anything other than backfire on her. It's obvouse that her campain is really running low on good ideas on how to turn the train direction.

As she has demonstared her unability of debating, she should get OFF the wagon and let this campaing debates our dialy needs..not to choose what words Obama uses when denouncing a matter. Hillary this is a Campain not a marriage relationship!

If she is not even trusty enough to make her tax records public , thwn why in the world should anyone of us trust her ! she is just after power ! is that what we need ! Definitly NOT !..

People are really turned off by Hillary failing tacktics,..it's not working for those of us who are simple minded

Thank you Hillary, you are helping us in electing our next leader, That's why Obama's polls are leading..

Three national polls? I wonder how the Clinton Team is going to marginalize and undervalue this? I know the response will probably be; It doesn't matter, the polls where conducted in the small states. Stop creating a ammunition data base for the republican's Hillary! Bow out gracefully if you can! Vindictive and corny doesn't look good on the Clinton resume. Wake up Hillary, Senator OBAMA is the people's choice!

Leads 50 to 40% with 10% unsure. That's a lead?

CNN quit changing Obama's diapers.

The Rasmussen presidential tracking poll currently has John McCain leading Barack Obama 47% to 43%.

When I see the presidential polling for the general election it looks like the general election will be a tight race regardless of who McCain goes up against. How can this be?

If what the press says is true, 3/4 of Americans are against the war, a very big McCain issue. Ultra conservatives are not enamoured with McCain and record numbers of Democrats are turning out in these primaries, which to me, would indicate record turnout during the actual general election. All this would indicate a blowout for the Democratic nominee, am I wrong?

This is not a surprise. Obama is more electable than Clinton by a long shot. She's a devisive and controversial political character and America is tired of the same old politics as usual. America is rejecting AND denouncing her.

As well he should. He is a uniter. Her comment about a WOMAN in the White House was not needed and Divisive. What would we be talking about today if Obama had made the same comment inferring race???? This is the divide and conquer politics that she has promoted since day one. GIRLS get a clue.........not this time/ not this ERA. Being a fighter is one thing..............being foolish is something else. Lets elect a president in NOV and STOP cramming Hillary down our throats. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN GIRLS. We love her but lets work together on this and stop this in party fighting. The point has been made and we now need to get on folks. McCain is planning and trying to unite while we argue over which words are stronger , whose Health Plan is the most inclusive, and which TV show's satire best suits our campaign.

I will be quite truthful here, while the Govenor of Kansas endorsed Obama, and the Democratic caucus picked Obama in the State of Kansas, I know very very few Obama supporters. So just who is being polled anyway.

Yes, I'm very much in favor of Senator Obama as President of these United States. His calm, cool and articulate speech is in my opinion what really gets Senator Clintons goat if you will. If she would only address the issues and not his character she may have a better shot. Also, and again this is just my opinion for women of my statue...If she was to come off more of a woman and feminine as opposed to coming off as some bitter woman who is out to prove that she can get the job done and wear a dress or skirt she might have a better chance of appearing to be the woman for the job. To me she's the man for the job in a woman body suit. However, using Chelse as her feminine side doesn't cut it for me. IN the photo with John McCain and Senator Obama in the back ground and the attacks that are coming from his campaigning only show their weakness. As Senator Obama has said repeatedly, "Stick to the issues!"

God bless Senator Obama, his family and his presidency! YOU ROCK!!!

These polls don't win elections but that's good to hear the people are finaly starting to come together on who will be the nomination for the party. I can't wait till Clinton drops out. Even Clinton supporters have to admit she is acting as if it is her God given right to be president. Just imagine how bad it would have gotten if she had won the nomination.

Obama wouldn't poll better than Ron Paul... that I know for sure

I think the biggest contributing factor to Senator Obama's increasing real estate in this national primary season ha snot been his profound intellect, his sound judgement or his favorable senate record and policy stances but rather the fact that he built his campaign from the bottom up.

By relying on the American people to decide how far he would go, and by being steadfast in his message, and by demonstrating that he knows how to manage his operation from the top he has scored a great many points with the American public, which has bolstered his viability as a leader.

Obama Richardson 08!!!!

Big deal.... once Obama seals up the Democrat nomination, he's going to get eaten alive by Republicans. They will expose Obama for what he really is-an empty suit that can talk a good game and put on a hell of a pep rally, nothing more.

Obama is truly the best candidate to work our country. Finally a non-corrupt guy who is willing to stand up for the average american!!

Misleading polls lead to more misleading polls.

This is a very dynamic situation. Obama is finally beginning to be vetted. Just yesterday two more conservative talk show hosts threw their support behind Hillary Clinton. Let's watch and see whether those white male voters who crossed over to knock out Hillary will indeed follow their new direction.
